    Even the Ascians weren't completely destroyed by the methods used to kill them; it seems to just weaken their souls enough for the Lifestream to take hold of them and return them to the cycle as they're meant to.

    It evidently takes a lot to make someone deader then dead, with only those involved in Hydaelyn's summoning process and those turned into beasts/blasphemies stated as having their souls completely purged, and the latter case is still uncertain as Meteion wouldn't need to be harvesting souls to deny life if she was actually capable of completely eradicating them.

    Yeah in the new way, I suppose, but that's just the writers being forced to think about and write for it again. In the new way.

    You'll notice we didn't run into Nabriales in the Aitiascope, a far more major character in the grand scheme of things. Responsible for Moenbryda's death. Captured Minfilia, put her in rift bondage chains.

    What I mean to say is, what I mean by dissolute soul is the other idea presented by Montaichaigne's lecture. That the soul dissipates into aether and is recycled into new souls upon death. It's not deader than dead, because it's the same aether, but the identity is destroyed. Until we see otherwise, that is what happened to Nabriales, and it should be what happened to Haurchefant.

    "I thought that my invincible power would hold the world captive, leaving me in a freedom undisturbed. Thus night and day I worked at the chain with huge fires and cruel hard strokes. When at last the work was done and the links were complete and unbreakable, I found that it held me in its grip." - Rabindranath Tagore
