Lore speculation: Placidusax's missing god is connected to the frenzied flame.

Ever since i discovered the frenzied flame ive been hellbent on finding out why it exists, what it is, everything. I couldnt help but feel like it plays a very big role in the history of ER, more than just another outer god whos is evil incarnate. But why am i mentioning the frenzied flame when the title is about placidusax's god? Well, i may have overthought it and im now half convinced i discovered the creation of the frenzied flame, along with what happened to placidusax's god AND why the greater will abandoned the lands between. After several high seshs and a lot of thinking i finally decided to post the whole theory. Now, it has holes, just like ER's story, its speculation to some degree and im 100% sure its not 100% correct, but trial and error is what got us where we are and ill try here. Even if my theory isnt true, i feel like there could be some truth in it.

"All there is came from the one great. Then came fractures and births and souls. But the greater will made a mistake. Torment, despair and affliction were allowed into being. And so, what was borrowed must be returned." The frenzied flame is not evil. It is trying to undo the mistake of allowing negative things to exist. It wants to start over, clean, without "the mistake".

"The beastmen were given 5 fingers as a sign of intelligence." The assumption is they were given a hand with a thumb, as a thumb kind of symbolizes intelligence or the ability to become intelligent? Something like that if im not wrong, i got that part from one of Vaati's lore videos. I believe this line is wordplay entirely. Ill explain later on.

Now, with those 2 things in mind, ill do my best to keep it short.

All that is came from the one great. The one great is basically the greater will, but slightly different, more powerful, if you will. The one great started creating, sent the elden beast into the lands between and placidusax became the first ever elden lord, with the beastmen as civilization to worship and give guidance to. Now, from what i heard, metyr was also already around when placidusax and his reign happened. So, my personal belief is this: The great one made "the mistake" during the time of Placidusax. The mistake being the creation of negative things, my personal belief is both emotional and physical, not as in wounds, but as in outer gods embodying a certain "negative element", a good example would be the god of rot and their scarlet rot. Now, when the one great made that mistake, it also caused the creation of the Frenzied flame. Now, this is where the 5 fingers - line turns into mad wordplay:

The beastmen werent actually given a hand with a thumb to be intelligent or something. The 5 fingers mean the one great, as it was back then. They were given a god to worship and get guidance from, basically they were given religion and a reason for everything, even to be alive. Now, when the one great made the mistake, part of it split off and became the frenzied flame. My personal reasoning would be "It created negative things, so it itself would also be given negative things", those negative things being the frenzied flame. Now, the frenzied flame became the 3 fingers, what was left of the one great became the 2 fingers, also known as the greater will. The greater will lost more than half ( 2 and 3 fingers) of its original power because of the frenzied flame, which was precisely the moment metyr stopped receiving messages and the greater will "abandoned" the lands between. It did neither abandon, nor flee. It simply lost its power to stay. Now, my personal belief is that the frenzied flame is responsible for the destruction of farum azula, at least to some degree. Placidusax's god was the greater will as it originally was, the one great. The mistake caused the outer gods ALONG with the frenzied flame, aswell as the one great to basically disappear. Now, the other outer gods were a creation of the one great/the greater will, hence them also using 2 fingers. The frenzied flame is THE ONLY one using 3 fingers, its also THE ONLY one who wants to completely undo, rather than change into its image. Scarlet rot has its own creatures, "flora" if you can call it that, all that. Every outer god has its own form of existence. Its only the frenzied flame that doesnt, as it wants to restart on a clean slate, without "the mistake". The frenzied flame was basically born during placidusax's era and caused the downfall of it, along with the abandoning of the greater will/one great of the lands between.

I also feel like the fact the frenzied flame can only be cleansed in placidusax's arena can heavily connect to that, im assuming maybe the frenzied flame was created then and there, however im not quite sure how, so far my best guess is that the arena outside of time is a place where the frenzied flame doesnt/didnt exist yet and the unalloyed gold is basically innocent and clean life, so life where the frenzied flame doesnt exist? Or something into that direction.

Conclusion: Great one was the 5 fingers, which were given to beastmen, made mistake and created frenzied flame among other negative things, lost more than half of its power to the frenzied flame and was forced out of the lands between, not abandoned them. Frenzied flame became 3 fingers, one great remained with 2 fingers and became just the greater will (even the name suggests its slightly less than it was before, but still bigger than the rest in a way), placidusax thinks his god, the great one, fled, instead it lost power to stay, creation of frenzied flame leveled farum azula, placidusax escaped into a storm outside of time where hes been waiting for a god that doesnt exist anymore and cant ever exist again because more than half of it wants to undo everything first. Greater will is the will of the one great (damn this makes sense i just realized) and tries to continue as before, but cant due to a loss of power, making it seem like just another outer god with barely any more power than the rest, but is still something more than them, because its technically their creator.

Now, while my theory is definetly not 100% true, i feel like there is definetly some truth in it, it just "feels" too right, at least for me. However, im currently not capable of injecting another 20 books worth of lore into my brain, so please dear lorehunters, reply, review, agree, disagree and correct to your hearts extent, just please dont kill me with "NO, YOURE AN IDIOT AND WRONG!"

EDIT: Going to add what immortal_reaver wrote onto here: Placidusax had 5 heads. Now he has 2. This could theoretically prove/somewhat prove there is some truth to this theory. Just feels too good to be false. One great, 5 fingers, elden lord with 5 heads, frenzied flame gets created, one great remains as 2 fingers, elden lord remains with 2 heads, its the kind of symbolism EXACTLY a soulslike would use. Thanks for making me realize this!
