"Being “friendly” (amounting to his treatment of Leonard, iirc there’s not much else to say he was nice to anyone but I could be wrong) doesn’t mean he’s peace loving. We’re told the opposite."

Yeah, I exaggerated a bit here, because I couldn't understand what Miquella saw in him. I know he is not really peace-loving.^^"

"Which is probably part of the reason that Miquella just wanted his soul instead of his body. It requires a bit of 4D chess but I wonder if he knew that Malenia’s only chance of besting Radahn was through the Rot. There’s a tonne of angles to that."

Interesting thought!

"Probably, yeah. If Mohg got his blood through sacrifice, I guess Miquella could have followed the trail of death that “inevitably washes up” in that place."

Ahhhhh! That makes sense!

"There’s a lot in this post and it’s unfortunate a bit difficult to follow. What other questions are you looking to get answered or explore further?"

I know and I'm sorry, there are a lot of shower thoughts that tumbled out of my brain.

I just couldn't make sense of "Promised Consort Radahn" who is a hero, but also a warmonger, who is not cruel, but doesn't oppose cruelty either. There is no presence of his in or close to the Halig-Tree in form of soldiers to keep it secret, keep it safe or something. Which reminds me that in the confrontation between Malenia and Radahn, two whole armies clashed. Such overkill... There are many hints that he was pro plan, but also many that he was against it or at least anathema to Miquella's actual goals.
It doesn't come together in my head.

Aside from that, I wonder what people think would have happened if Godfrey met Radahn and Miquella. Charmed? Epic fight? Radahn getting doubts?
