Well scit, we've been pronouncing Elden Ring's Scadutree wrong this whole time

A knight bows before Miquella's Golden Cross inElden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree.

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree is replete with Scadus - we've got the Scadu Atlus, the Scadutree itself, and of course all those Scadutree Fragments. If you're like me, you've probably been pronouncing this strange, new word like "skadoo" since you first came across it. But it turns out we've been wrong this whole time.

Streamer DrDeComposing - you might remember him as the one who beat Elden Ring with a saxophone - has noted on Twitter that "the 'sc' consonant pair is actually pronounced with a 'sh' sound in Old English. That means that the Scadutree is actually pronounced closer to 'Shadutree' - Shadow Tree," DrDeComposing explains. "FROMSOFT YOU LINGUISTIC NERDS I LOVE YOU"
