Probably separate factors: Lore confirms that Lilith was the one to repackage the Sol Invictus doctrine into the Morninglight, and she seems to have more experience starting cults. Loki strikes me more as the type to worm his way into the organization when Lilith's back is turned. Besides, they're at cross purposes: Loki wants to achieve power through the Dreamers, while Lilith just wants to enslave them, so Beaumont probably wouldn't have risen to prominence until Lilith left her hand off the tiller and Marquard took over.

Also, I'm not sure if Loki's passage went in that order or direction: according to Odin's ravens, he walked among the Vikings and fought at their side, meaning that he ended up in the Darkness War by sneaking aboard the longships with the rest of the Norsemen, so I'm not sure if Loki was the one who inspired the Mayans to war. Likewise, I'm not sure if he headed to Africa: the ravens said he didn't sail, but instead went south. Now, you could take that to mean that he just didn't sail with the Vikings and found passage to Africa elsewhere, or it could mean that he travelled into South America to investigate what the Mayans had been up to, before going "oh bugger, the power I wanted was back in Solomon all along!" Remember, the exact motif of the "dark sun" is used to describe the Mayans as well as the Atenists. Nitpicking, I know, but every little thing helps.
