Comments of chapter undefined of Lord of Mysteries 2: Circle of Inevitability
This is just a assumption but could Lumian be a blood decendent of the Tudor family we know next to nothing of his birth family besides that his mother and grandfather are both dead but his father may still be alive could he be from a potential branch family and maybe have some sort of bloodline connection like Baronet Proud from the first book maybe Lumian looks similar to Alista when he was young and thats why he was marked we know Lumian changed his name and we do not know his original one but he still knows it maybe there’s some clue
it seems Tudor accommodate quite a big portion of city of calamity and maybe he was trying to accommodate the uniqueness of demoness pathway that's why his mental imprint hadn't gone away so when Salinger accommodated the red priest uniqueness Tudor's mental imprint was triggered resulting in primordial demoness falling to bad state maybe that's why she helped ancient death during pale war so that he could get rid of the last of alista another reason is probably because death wanted to become the fourth piller which would result in end of everything and cheek seems like someone who would want it of course it could simply be cheek not completely digesting her/his sequence 1 charectarestic because of the acting method of acoplyse which seems like literary bringing the acoplyse maybe that's why she didn't want Klein to become the piller because it might stop the acoplyse from happening
