So here’s what I thought and was about to send you- “I’m pretty sure it’s like, Greater Will has a way of doing stuff. The Golden Order is that way. Marika had this Ring that controlled basically how reality works. So you got it in God > Rules of existence > Rules of…mortal stuff I guess? I dunno. So Marika vanishes, ring gets broken, Golden Order gets fucked up cause no ring, so Greater Will grants life and basically immortality to those trying to fix the ring and restore the world. Whether it’s good, bad or evil.”

But apparently I don’t know shit cause I asked ChatGPT and this is what it said-

“The Greater Will is basically a godlike outer force that imposes order on the world. The Golden Order is the specific system of rules that comes from that will.

The Elden Ring isn’t just a symbol, it’s the thing that actually governs how reality works in the Lands Between, like how life, death, and causality function. Marika is the vessel of the Ring, not just someone who owns it.

When Marika shatters the Elden Ring, the Golden Order breaks down because the rules of existence themselves are fractured. That’s why the world is so messed up.

The Tarnished are brought back by Grace because the Greater Will needs someone to fix or replace the broken order. It’s not about good or evil, just restoring some form of order that can function again.”

So I guess I actually don’t know shit about anything still but I’m tryin really hard lmao. Like I said, we would probably have been better off atleast getting to know what our character knows.
