Description
THE GREATER WILL

The entity with the most influence in the current age of the Lands Between, yet an entity that is perhaps surprisingly never referred to as an Outer God.

According to Elden Stars, the Greater Will sent the Elden Beast down to the Lands Between, which later manifests as the Elden Ring. The Ring appears to require a native vessel in the Lands Between similar to how confirmed Outer Gods have taken to associating with vessels and servants. The vessel of the Elden Ring is considered a God, and the God's consort takes the title of Elden Lord. Assuming Elden Lord means "consort to the vessel of the Elden Ring" then we know of two Gods under the Greater Will: Marika and Placidusax's fled God.

The Greater Will appears to communicate via the Two Fingers, creatures that can allegedly contact the entity and relay its message to Finger Readers who then pass this message to the people of the Lands Between. The message that the Fingers deliver is one of Order, although the Greater Will does not appear to be strict about the manner in which Order is achieved, as we see multiple different Orders across the various ages, and the player has the option between 4 variations across the various "Elden Lord" endings. However, Gideon and Varre both allude to the fingers having been affected in some way, such that their message may be out of touch with the Greater Will's intent.
