Man Who Thought He'd Lost All Hope Loses Last Additional Bit Of Hope He Didn't Even Know He Still Had
Allow me to introduce you to this small headcanon of mine. So bear with me:
A. To have a reason to go through the whole route of Mountaintops of the Giants -> the Frenzied Flame Chamber, Vyke needed to actually see the wall of thorns. And I doubt that Morgott just decided to take a day off for some reason. (Remember that no one at Roundtable doesn't know about thorns)
B. While Morgott is alive in-game, the entrance to the Frenzied Flame is sealed by him. Which means it was open when Vyke came there (he wouldn't be able to enter otherwise). So Morgott sealed it and put an illusion of his brother there after "the incident" i.e. he had to witness and realize the danger of the Frenzied Flame
So I propose this headcanon that Morgott knew Vyke and maybe helped (or at least didn't oppose) Vyke on his way to the throne.
Once again this is not a theory, just a headcanon to make sad old man even sadder

Lord of Leyndell.
Morgott the Omen King, the Fell Omen, the Special Boy, the Hot Old Man, my Husband. I started this piece a little over a year ago and never finished it until now. Feels good to complete it rather than let it sit and rot unfinished.
Made in Procreate.

"It's Been A While, Morgott"
To me, this moment of tenderness all but confirms that Godfrey must have visited his Omen children in their sewer prison.
Consider everything we know about Godfrey. He actively venerated the Crucible and its primal manifestations. His knights wore helms decorated with horns and utilized its animalistic magic:
Even after the Crucible fell from favour, these knights were tolerated right up until Godfrey was banished. Therefore Godfrey must have been preserving them even despite Marika's decrees.
This makes sense, because Godfrey was born in the ancient era when the Crucible's wild power was considered a blessing, not a curse:
"A vestige of the crucible of primordial life. Born partially of devolution, it was considered a signifier of the divine in ancient times, but is now increasingly disdained as an impurity as civilization has advanced."
To Godfrey, his Omen sons would not have been something to revile. This is supported by the fact that their horns weren't excised. I doubt it was Marika's choice, since she had turned against the Crucible by then. It MUST have been at Godfrey's behest.
Likewise, who else could have commissioned THIS?
A "memorial fetish fashioned in secret" that CLEARLY depicts Morgott. Someone CARED about this secret Omen infant. Enough to memorialize their their existence at the risk of the entire Golden Order. It literally ONLY could have been Godfrey.
Lastly, there's the circumstances of Godfrey's banishment.
Most people say he was simply cast aside after he ran out of enemies to fight, but this CAN'T be all there was to it, because Raya Lucaria still existed.
A FAR better explanation is that Godfrey began to show signs of disobedience. Godfrey was a man of instinct and emotion. Could such a man have sat idle while his children were imprisoned and his comrades reviled by the very order HE helped build?
No.
And so Godfrey began to visit his Omen children in secret, where he told them stories of their lineage and their origins.
In Morgott his stories instilled a Lord's sense of duty for the Erdtree and everything it could be.
In Mohg, his stories instilled an Omen's sense of pride for the Crucible, and everything it once was.
Until Marika learned of her husband's treachery, and the Omen Twins never saw their father again.
EDITED IN EXTRA OBSERVATION:
Someone pointed out that Serosh exists to channel Godfrey's emotions, and what's the first thing we hear/see when we approach Godfrey holding his son? Serosh roaring in anger. Beneath that kingly countenance, Godfrey is a lot more distraught than he's capable of showing.
