Question pertaining to the afterlife in FFXIV

[Alleo]

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but...

[i]I believe it was mentioned in one of the Shadowbringers short stories (Hades', in fact) that souls can be neither created nor destroyed, and they simply cycle through the Lifestream as beings are born and die on the world.

Individual souls may not consciously possess the memory of all their lives, but souls themselves do not cease to exist through natural processes.[/hb]

Wasnt it also in that short story where they kind of said that the Ancient ones even liked the "underworld"? Seeing how they at the same time later did not accept the sacrifice of their own people I wonder if the old lifestream allowed the people to keep their memories? So when somebody died it was not that bad because the long living ancient ones will see them again and they will remember their lives? Thus the difference to Hydealyns lifestream is, that she maybe takes these memories? (Which could also be a way to give those lifes a chance to start new after that horrible catastrophe had happened)

We have conflicting stories as to what happens to a soul when it passes into the Lifestream. Characters in the game pretty bluntly state that souls dissolve into the Lifestream. I don't remember exactly when this is, but I believe it was back in ARR when Moenbryda joined the storyline. They were talking about Ascian souls, and how they avoid that particular fate - and then moved on to how to subject them to it, using the White Auracite.

Wasnt this stated by mortals? (Scions) I mean how would they even know this to be the case? IMO it could simply be that this was what they believed at that time.
