* AdaptationalKarma: The Healing Church of ''VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}}'' is responsible for everything wrong in Yharnam (most prominentnly the Beast Scourge that plagued the city through their wanton use of blood), and is still standing by the end of the game. Here, the Healing Conclave is destroyed by Father Wolfsbane the First in an event called the "Fall/Purgation of Giernan".
* DeathByAdaptation: The Healing Church of ''VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}}'' is still standing by the end of the game. Here, they receive a huge dose of AdaptationalKarma when Father Wolfsbane the First [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/857612387/4889106661 destroys the Healing Conclave responsible for Giernan's corruption]] in an event called the "Fall/Purgation of Giernan".
* ReligionOfEvil: Much like ''VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}}'''s Healing Church, the Healing Conclave was a throughly corrupt religious organization that was responsible for Giernan's fall/corruption. Its wanton use of blood created the Werebeast Scourge that transformed several Giernanites into monstrous beasts, and they in general were {{Godhood Seeker}}s who reached out to eldritch beings like Ebrietas in order to learn how to transcend their mortal shells. In Ebrietas' case, she was tricked into aiding the Healing Conclave under the guise of gaining "friends", and understandably wasn't very happy when she learned of their true motives later on.

* {{Expy}}: Of Ludwig the Accursed[[spoiler:/the Holy Blade]] from ''VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}}''.
to:
* AnimalisticAbomination: He is described as a "gigantic, screeching mass of flesh, limbs, and twisted Equine features", whose feral instincts drive him to attack people indiscriminately regardless of morality and affiliations.
* BrokenAce: Before his fall, he was the first Captain of the Healing Conclave's hunters and a beloved hero who worked tirelessly to protect Giernan from both the Werebeasts and the Scourge that created them. He also taught the citizens of Giernan how to defend themselves, and was a talented swordsmane and a genius inventor who created powerful weapons on top of that. After his fall, he became little more than a tortured, malformed beast who lashed out indiscriminately at anyone who crossed his path.
* TheDreaded: It didn't take long for Giernan as a whole to start fearing him after his fall and transformation into a monster. The fact that he was once Giernan's greatest hero hit even harder for its people.
--> '''Unnamed Giernan resident:''' An unsightly beast... a great terror looms! Ahh... Sterling Sword the Accursed is coming! Have mercy! Have mercy upon us!
* {{Expy}}: Of Ludwig theAccursed[[spoiler:/the Accursed from ''VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}}''.
* FallenHero: Once upon a time, he was the Healing Conclave's first hunter and one of Giernan's greatest heroes. As the other tropes in his folder entry show, he has fallen ''far'' from the noble stallion he once was.
* KarmicTransformation: Much like [[VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}} Ludwig the Accursed]], he eventually transformed into a horrific monstrosity to represent his sins of associating with the [[CorruptChurch Healing Conclave]] and condoning his peers' more questionable actions. As such, his appearance serves as a mockery of his former nobility and ideals.
* TheMagnificent: Known as "the Accursed" after his fall and degeneration into a terrifying, malformed abomination that attacked both friend and foe alike. Before it, however, he carried a bunch of heroic titles like "The HolyBlade]] Blade", "The Light of Giernan", and "The First Hunter".
* TragicMonster: He was a noble hero who, through a series of tragic circumstances, fell from''VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}}''.grace and transformed into "the most horrifying of beasts" to represent the moral reprehensibility of associating himself with the [[CorruptChurch Healing Conclave]], despite his ideals. Now he's a [[AnimalisticAbomination gigantic, screeching mass of flesh, limbs, and twisted Equine features]] that lashes out indiscriminately against anyone who crossed his path.

* EldritchAbomination: Much like [[VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}} Yharnam]], Giernan came under the eldritch influence of beings similar to ''Bloodborne'''s Great Ones, whether due to mortal meddling with affairs they couldn't comprehend, the entities taking personal interest in Giernan for unknown reasons, or both. The entities were eventually purged and banished from the mortal planes by Father Wolfsbane I, though only one, Ebrietas, remained by virtue of being a genuinely benevolent entity who was only tricked by corrupt mortals into working with them.
* {{Expy}}: A city-state/kingdom-wide example. Giernan is based the [[VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}} city of Yharnam (and, by extension, Old Yharnam)]]; much like its inspiration, Giernan was a WretchedHive of a place thanks to a horrid combination of factors like the influence of eldritch beings beyond mortal comprehension, the atrocities committed by an extremely CorruptChurch against the people, and the spread of a bloodborne scourge that transformed people into monstrous '[[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent Were-Beasts]]'. However, unlike Yharnam, it was eventually destroyed in the 'Purgation/Fall of Giernan' event, in which Father Wolfsbane I, his allies, and other Hunters purged the place of the very elements that turned it into what it was.
* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: Before its fall, Giernan was plagued with a bloodborne scourge that turned people into feral were-beasts. It's revealed that [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/861846716/4892736439 Ebrietas]] had a hand in creating it, though that's because she was tricked and manipulated by the corrupt Healing Conclave, whose members wanted to use her for their own purposes. The scourge was eventually purged by Father Wolfsbane I and his allies.
* PunnyName: Giernan sounds very similar to Gehrman, a charcter from ''VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}}'' and the First Hunter.
* WretchedHive: Much like [[VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}} Yharnam]], Giernan was ''not'' a great place to live in, what with people becoming were-beasts thanks to a bloodborne scourge, a CorruptChurch experimenting on the locals, and the maddening influence of eldritch beings brought to the city by mortals meddling with forces they shouldn't have. Thankfully, Giernan was eventually destroyed/purged by Father Wolfsbane and his allies.

* CorruptChurch: Much like the [[VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}} Healing Church]], the Healing Conclave was largely responsible for Giernan becoming a WretchedHive; among their crimes was tricking Ebrietas into working with them under the guise of giving her friends, thus creating the Were-Beast Scourge. The Healing Conclave became such a sore spot for Ebrietas that she went after the Cosmic Acolytes in a rage as soon as she learned of their members' exploitation of Caelum Filum, a stoned eldritch god.
