Then as far as summoners go the dialog mentions multiple people in the form of "they". Then you have the cave mural paintings.

We could take the theory that the life force was in account, but not the souls. Let's say since the Ancients can see souls that people who had given up their life force - may have given them the idea to sacrifice the mortal life force to bring their loved ones back? I mean it's an interesting trait that the Ancients can see the soul - so for those that lived for eternity may have been able to see a soul transcend after the lifeforce is gone?

The tempered ones were easier to find after the sundering vs any other ancient - making it easy for both sides easier to find, ie echo? But in the case of Hydaelyn they made her use "Hear, Feel, Think" as an invocation on her followers that ends up circumventing the usual traits of tempering?
