I also noticed a lot of the "foot soldier" Sin Eaters, at least the humanoid ones seem very... Primal? They're eating people who are falling in battle, people who are likely terrified, and I think perhaps their appearance reflects that somewhat...
If true, then I guess it fits with building a palace. If they evolve by feeding, and they're selective in whom they eat in Eulmore, then I suppose the logical endpoint is "We're Angels" and constructing a "Heaven" would fit with that... Given Sin Eaters were once people, there could be some pretty solid Rapture comparisons made...
