why not both? well, Author likes to use different sequences names as a representative for the themes but in this case, i additionally to that can't imagine COI the outer god himself doesn't have a significant involvement with the plot itself, as is the case with LotM in book1
no it's not like that not sure why so many has a reading comprehension with the interview or likely "just heard" rumors about it instead of reading it for themselves... Cuttlefish did say the MC may be someone with a unique Outer God bestowed power system as a groomed spy for them and/or a hunter pathway BUT he didn't confirm it he said it's only an idea that came to his mind and it SHOULD be quite changed in ways of not entirely left out when he comes to writing the new book (already planned by now obviously)
author was thinking maybe he'll make it at the war time before the end of book1 by a bit yet, those weren't confitmations merely just a possibility, and i highly doubt it's the case now there is a suggestion which i do think is the lost possible that is: this is around 6 years after prev book since Frank Lee is all famous and feared around the sea all the way to Intis now
dude Loen is the equivalent of England and Intis is the equivalent of France and although we know from book1 *the plot twist* there is still the "collective consciousness" aspect mentioned way back at the subject of Visionary powers and how knowledge can resurface..
Great Old Ones/Outer Gods is a Lovercraftian cosmic horror reccurent theme there are a lot of other such works although Gehrman is undoubtedly a reference to Bloodborne . it's a genre named after author H P Lovecraft who started it all/made it so big with his work "Catll of Cthulhu" and some other books afterwards other authors contributed further to the genre, there is a whole Pantheon of old ones Azathoth,Yog Sototh etc...
Friends here refers to Klein himself and not ancient LoTM At the time when he did the dream divination of the cross orginie ASG noticed his presence throughout all that immense distance of times and muttered in thought: "Mysteries..." This and how they are both fellow "Earthlings" from the same era.
