You know, I have a dumb theory because I noticed something- Marika seems to constantly make twins that are associated with red and gold. Malenia and Miquella are obvious, Mohg and Morgott had one follow his accursed crimson blood with the other following the golden order and even being given grace... The ONLY single children she had that's confirmed is Godwyn and whoever the fuck Godrick and Godefroy come from. Godwyn's golden hair and association with dragons made me wonder... Is Messmer his twin? Is that why he was rejected, because twins are mostly reviled outside of the Golden Order and they were both firstborns which means they both had equal claims to the throne?
It'd also explain why the Golden Order did its best to integrate dragon cult miracles, explain why dragons are orthodox with the gold under their scales despite the rule of Plasidusax coming to an end, and why Godwyn was easily able to forge an alliance with the dragons- he was one of their own in power while Messmer inherited the physical characteristics of the dragon. The fact that one of the twins had draconic characteristics after fending off the Dragonlord also gives another reason to send him away as it'd make people question the integrity of the ruling family in letting an at the time heretical child be a potential heir along with the usual crucible touched disgust, and having to let go of one of her children may have given Marika reason to spare the Omen children she would have later- she already knew the pain of letting one child go, so she did what she could to spare her accursed twins and keep them close to the capital.
I dunno, it's just interesting to me that Marika's lineage keeps spitting out twins including even Godrick (even if it isn't literal) and Godwyn just happens to be the only lone birth. Maybe that's why she was chosen? Does Malenia having several kids from one bloom or w/e count? Is that what it means to be an Empyrian? It'd be dumb but it IS accepted by the Golden Order, maybe that's why. Who knows, who cares.
