Considering that the realm of shadows seems to be the place where undesirables in the Lands Between go (omen, misbegotten, crucible touched and such) and most are described as not having grace in the vanilla version, it would explain why Miquella needed to get rid of all things golden in order to reach that place.
He's practically turning himself into a criminal in order to get into the prison; and now he's more vulnerable than ever because he doesn't even have his bewitching powers (implied, and he might still be good with words and reading people) nor his sister's assistance. No wonder he's so hard to find; he's just a little guy, hiding and sneaking around are his only options now!
That would also explain why the tarnished can easily enter the land of shadows; they already don't have grace from the get-go, only a memory of grace that literally links them to the sites of grace provided by external forces. Tarnished only would need the guide of Miquella's soul linked to his cadaver in order to reach it.
Oh my god yes to all of this!
I said in a previous theory post about how Miquella had to go to such extreme lengths just to get to the Realm of Shadow(i.e embedding himself into the Haligtree and ditching his body all together to essentially roam as a lost soul) and the fact that the Tarnished can evidently just roll up into the Realm of Shadow by touching Miqs abandoned cadaver, definitely hints at Marika making the RoS nearly impossible to get too if you possess any amount of grace, and I would also say that this especially apply's if you are an Empyrean.
And so I would also bring up this:
And so Kindly Miquella would abandon everything. His golden flesh. His radiant strength. Even his fate. But we are not deterred.
This piece of dialogue in particular implies to me that Miquella may have initially intended to travel this path of his completely alone, or as Ranni puts it: "I am to depart on a journey. Upon the dark path only I may tread." There are so many parallels between these two it's nuts.
And I am in absolute agreement regarding Miquella's current state: He is by no means weak, but he is incredibly vulnerable.
So something has happened, either too Miq or regarding something else, but we have Messmer out there who will put anyone to flame who has been stripped of the Grace of Gold; and considering that Miquella has abandoned everything Golden, I am very worried for him 😬
So now, Miquella is desperate and calling for aid. And we are here to answer his call.

I just absolutely adore how much love was clearly put into bg3. I just finished the game and as I was skimming through the credits I stopped to read some of the thank you messages ppl left for their loved ones, their families, their DnD groups, their pets, and for the ppl they lost in the past few years, and I was bawling my eyes out and am still tearing up honestly. This was clearly a labour of love and it's so heartwarming to see ppl being able to bring to life something that is so dear to their hearts
