i think it's really interesting that morgott names all of his "willful traitor" family in his boss fight cutscene and yet leaves messmer out, despite him seeming to be so overwhelmingly coded as The Quintessential Traitor. like, is it that
morgott considers messmer (again, heavily associated with snakes and fire, the specific symbolic enemies of the erdtree, and managed to get his whole throne removed) such a traitor that he refuses to even speak his name
morgott actually does not consider messmer a traitor (they do appear to share similar motives, and we have no real evidence of messmer participating in the shattering war, which is morgott's chief complaint about everyone else)
he's naming shardbearers who participated in the shattering war, specifically (godrick gets included) and messmer doesn't have a great rune/wasn't a part of the shattering, so whatever else aside he was irrelevant to the point morgott was making
none of the above; morgott doesn't even know messmer exists (very possible that messmer was born+grew up+got [???] while the omens were in the sewer and they just completely missed each other) so he's just like ah yes. malenia. miquella. that one inexplicable empty space. radahn.
#the nemesis speaks#sorry i know it's been 24/7 nonstop eldenring hours over here. im just. im rotating it.#the out of universe explanation is obviously that naming him in a mandatory cutscene would have given the entire thing away#but that's not really that interesting#anyway fuck im so excited for this guy in the dlc. i am already all about him from the like 30sec of dialogue we have#also hey why do two other shardbearers just. not have thrones. but godrick of all people gets one#did godrick steal or inherit godwyn's throne...?#i guess rennala doesn't have one bc she's not a shardbearer it's just her egg. and they don't give thrones to eggs i guess#and mohg WAS very much Not Wanted in the lineage so him being blacklisted makes sense#(since morgott also sits on the leyndell throne and not one of the illusory golden ones suggesting he never got one either)
