This implies Romina is on the level of an outer god and straight up says she weaved scarlet rot into existence which is crazy. Though I believe that most of the outer gods aren't as strong as most would believe and simply get there naming sense from coming from somewhere far away. Case and point the outer god of rot getting sealed by the blue dancer back in the day which is who taught Malenia her moves.
To be fair, that could also imply that the Blue Dancer is insanely cracked.
It doesn't imply she's outright outer god level, just that she was imbued with some of one's power and was capable of using it.
True. But if that was the case I feel Marika would have taken some notice of her if there was someone who could casually solo the elden beast (If were assuming outer gods are way beyond any normal gods). In my headcannon outer gods are just gods from outside the normal world of elden ring and not some transcendental entities that make all normal God's look like nothing. Now obviously this wouldn't apply to all of them since both the Greater Will and the Friendzied flame have some crazy lore scaling and implications.
"Romina was presented with the budding divine energy of an outer god" This can be interpreted both ways but the fact that she straight up weaved scarlet rot into existence afterwards implies the first moreso than the last.
That's a fair viewpoint.
Marika, Malenia, Mohg, Shabriri are all characters who were presented with the divine energy of an outer god, that doesn't mean theyre outer god level.
You're a little late.
Marika isn't omniscient and Romina was in the Land of Shadows and visibly didn't even leave the church she was in when Messmer enacted his campaign. Nothing in the base game even hints at her existence, in fact the most favored explanation for the Rot spreading that much was the fact that even sealed, the Rot God in the Lake was still capable of influencing the outside world. So Marika simply couldn't know where the Rot was coming from, not to mention nothing suggests the Rot was actively threatening the LB before Malenia embraced and unleashed it on Caelid. At that point, the Rot had been sealed in the Lake a long time ago and it was only after Caelid it became a problem again. And from what we know, Romina was not an important figure, just a random victim of Messmer who just happened to find some Rot fragment and embraced it.
Is the fell god even an outer god?
Not sure but it's apparently powerful enough that when granted its power, the Fire Giant becomes even stronger than its base form which is already very close in strength to the Elden Beast (per the whole the laster bosses are the strongest) or at least Godfrey. At the very least, it's comparable to Marika, not to mention its flame is mandatory for burning the Erdtree
Well we don't know exactly how it was sealed or if it was literally defeated. It's entirely possible the Blue Dancer set up a trap and held it off with the help of the fairy until the trap worked. For that matter, we don't even know what it really is. It's called a god but it could be an Elden Beast-like representative (the Elden Beast itself is a god since it reads "God Slain" after it is defeated) or a mere avatar that is actually pretty weak. Only thing we know is that it apparently had a scorpion-like body.
