Elden Ring Player Point Out Weird Details About Crumbling Farum Azula
Crumbling Farum Azula is one of the last major legacy dungeons Elden Ring players will encounter, after certain story elements transport them to this location. It is believed that Crumbling Farum Azula exists outside of time, and most players believe that it used to be the capital of dragons when they ruled over the Lands Between.
This is supported by how Dragonlord Placidusax is said to await the return of its god and how this relationship parallels the Elden Lord and Greater Will. It is further supported, if a little confusingly, by how killing Malekith here does not kill Gurranq, as not only is there time to consider, but also Malekith’s role as a shadow in Elden Ring.

This is likely because of the time paradox, but others were quick to chime in on this and ask other big questions, such as why players can see the Erdtree burning from Farum Azula and why Faruma Azula can be seen from Miquella’s Isolated Tower.
It's an odd omission, one would think, if Farum Azula exists outside of time. To see it from Miquella’s tower, even if it has no physical access, makes little sense, while changes in the Lands Between like the burning of the Erdtree makes even less sense. However, it’s possible there’s an important distinction here that helps explain things.
Many lore entries like the Old Lord’s Talisman and Remembrance of the Dragonlord reference time and Crumbling Farum Azula, but Miquella’s Needle is perhaps key to these events:
