I propose that the folder for the Dragon Outer God should be deleted for one simple reason: there is no Dragon Outer God. Its existence is not attested to anywhere in the game. This seems to be a misconception based on the statement that Placidusax was waiting for his lost god. However said god is \\\'\\\'not\\\'\\\' an outer god; the Japanese text doesn\\\'t use \\\"外なる神\\\" to refer to it. It seems more likely that it\\\'s just referring to a god of the same level as Marika and the other Empyreans, who incidentally would also logically be Placidusax\\\'s consort.

By all available evidence, the top god of dragons is just the Greater Will. Placidusax was explicitly said to be an Elden Lord in the time before the Erdtree. You find engravings of the Elden Ring all around his temple, backing this up. We know that \\\"Elden Lord\\\" is a title linked to the Greater Will specifically (other gods have their own titles for the equivalent like Blood Lord), as in every other instance of \\\"Elden\\\" being used, it always refers to Greater Will-linked things (Elden Lord, Elden Ring, Elden Beast, Elden Stars, Elden Remembrance). The name of the Elden Beast in particular should make that really obvious, as the only description it ever gets is \\\"vassal beast of the Greater Will.\\\"
