"So while it seems certain that he was intentionally raised like a goddess due to his lunar powers, I doubt he was forced kicking into becoming who he is."

When I said that, I meant the idea that he was not really in a state to question the will of the father at this time. Given the personality of Gwyndolin, he seems to be the type that would not be very resisting of this change occuring, but it does seem interesting to me how his ring does end up seperated from him. It could be that he wanted to see how he would act without the influences put on him, but given his corpse is feminine, it likely didnt work too well.

"It's also said through the descriptions that Gwyndolin yearned for Gwyn's affections, implying that he never had it in the first place further backing the view that he wasn't very popular in his fathers eyes."

I seem to be unable to find what hints at that. Could you label what states it?

"And what do you mean by 'he is the moon god he was born to be?' So now you're saying Gwyn's perception of the moon is correct and that Gwyndolin would have turned out that way anyway even if his father never raised him in such a manner?"

What I was trying to state is that there must have been some reason to have moonlight associated with female behaviors and physique. Even if his perception is incorrect, he must have seen something feminine about it.

But what seems strange is that while Gwynevere is the female goddess of sunlight, Gwyndolin is the male god of moonlight, yet it was found nessicary to have him behave femininly. His ring does state that his female personality is based in moonlight by stating "Gwyndolin was raised like a daughter through the aura of the moon, and was said to behave like a sullen brooding goddess" in its description, so this so called aura of the moon was related to the process itself, and not just the descision to do it.

His robes say that "The power of the moon was strong in Gwyndolin, and thus he was raised as a daughter" on them, so he already had a connection to the moon beforhand, as the context states that the descision came after noticing the power of moonlight within him.

"We do not and likely will never know if either of those features are real"

But why would they be illusory?
