Er yes, sort of. Specifically "Do Lunar immortals also not go through that process?". Sorry for being murky!

Right! That makes sense to me now. Does this mean that "healed" entities that are now Lunar cannot achieve Enlightenment? Or are these entities already Enlightened because they are actually a part of Sedenya?

This makes sense to me, especially if the myths are necessarily-limited mortal interpretations and explanations for otherworldly or beforetimely occurrences. If there are beings of youth and initiation then presumably there can beings who mythology is one of self-discovery and self-transcendence. Myths tell us that the gods can "learn" but they always learn and always have learned; they may gain Death in the myths, but they are still always Death.
What I am curious about is whether now, in a post-compromise cosmos, divine entities can still discover more inner powers (such as, for example, learning they are actually a mask of Sedenya?).
