Do the Scions know? (Spoilers)

[Gerel]

I actually recall a Q&A on these forums after 5.0 release where a bunch of lore questions were answered, but I can't find it right now. In it, there was an answer about Ancient souls which said that every soul was an Ancient fragment.

I remember this because it was so unexpected, and also caused a lot of problems and contradictions to established lore (or lore hints), such as where Alpha's soul came from. However, as mentioned, I have no idea how to search for that thread.

(Can anyone else corroborate or find that thread? I have the vague impression it also had the answer from Soken that the Rak'tika "Civilizations" theme didn't have any real lyrics.)

I can recall that thread, yeah. I think the question pertained more as to whether or not every soul was strengthened on the Source during a Calamity, with the answer being a "yes," but that it didn't mean every soul was a fragment of an Ancient (the race). There were other races coming into being post-Zodiark, after all, which became the focus of groups like Venat's.

EDIT: Think I found the relevant question by digging through my Discord DMs. Here's the link.

4. Emet-Selch remarks that we are of the Source, "seven times rejoined". Is he talking about our soul, or only the world? If our soul has been rejoined, does that mean everyone on the Source has been rejoined to another soul-fragment each Calamity, or are we (and perhaps other specific characters) special in some way?
Oda: Each time there is a rejoining, any living things have the souls rejoined. This is true for everyone equally. The souls get more dense, and potentially more powerful.

Yoshi: The Rejoining isn't just for the characters, but for the whole world. Of course, this does apply to yourself, as well.
