Okay so the Dotharl reincarnate. Whether or not this is true is up for debate but it's not entirely improbable that what they dub reincarnation is just they have a unique aetheric signature that their elders can identify, and when a Dotharl returns to the Lifestream and is basically recycled into new life the aether is naturally drawn to Dotharl infants.

So, this brings into question what the House of the Crooked Coin is. The Dotharl believe if you die there, you won't reincarnate. Looking at how it glows, and bares similarity to magitek, could it be the reason Dotharl believe they don't reincarnate when they die here is because their aether is absorbed by this strange structure instead of returning to the Lifestream?

If so what purpose could this device serve? Why does it harvest aether, and what might the potentially unique aether of the Dotharl serve to mean for it? Anyone else think any of this is plausible?
