# Always home
_**Explorer**_ archetype finds itself on an eternal odyssey. That's nomad, a well known Deleuze and Guattari's conceptual character.

The nomads in _Elden Ring_ appear in the world of a tyrant golden tree and claim to rebel its golden order. For that they were imprisoned under the divine city. (Mark and Pearson compare entrapment story archetype to _Hansel and Gretel_ - see 2001, p. 71)

There nomads gave birth to a frienzied flame. It represents a revolution in the game world order and promises to melt all into one again. (See an analysis of the frenzied flame through Dostoevsky's lenses: [https://youtu.be/pblth0JJz-c?si=H-is-q-ifHsb6H5K)](https://youtu.be/pblth0JJz-c?si=H-is-q-ifHsb6H5K))

The frenzied flame spreads over the golden tree, yet nomads remain trapped underground. There they show a _**jester** **shadow**_ archetype for they preferred frenzy to suffer.
Characters widely disdain "the flame of chaos". It reminds me of Nietzsche: "one must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to [[DANCINGSTARS|a dancing star]]". Dancing stars have flame of chaos that no god does not fear.

[[New|The new]], that both dancing stars and frenzied flame represent, is a subject of interest in Deleuzian thought. His nomad conceptual character is a rhizome structure opposing tree hierarchies.

Rhizome is at its core at any of its points. Even in the golden tree's roots rhizome remains home.

That is what flame of chaos claims to do: "all into one again". One whole world is the home!
