[V8] expanding on a little headcanon i have, : the lotm is destined to be alone.

SpoilerNovel discussion

All three pillars, except the lord of mysteries, have symbolism relating to femininity, masculinity, or just closely relates to them. Both Mgod and Ga have had children perfectly representing a family of sorts while the lord of mysteries only ha himself, all three pathways seems to push self dependence, slowly isolating themselves and replacing others with themselves the sq1 ritual of the Fool is quite literally have your own city where you are everyone and everyone is you, further highlighting how much the potions making you grow distance to the people not a part of the play. Klein's journey is a path of severance or detachment from others, always hiding something, never fully opening up. The only times he does is for the sake of his sanity so that he can continue with his dream of returning. Now, Cw is the only pillar without offspring. Everything is a mask that can be worn to him. Sure, it highlights his inhumanity and godlike posture, but it shows that the lord of mysteries will always be detached more so than any other deity in the series.

It has been a while since I last read both lotm and coi, so I'm just going off what I remember.
