Sin Eaters

[Iscah]

The very Huakke Manor dungeon has you having to rescue wailers before they get turned, so yeah, Voidsent can absolutely turn others.

The specific mechanism of this is mentioned in the lorebook - it's not that they're directly turned into voidsent, but that they're killed and then a voidsent can possess the body.

It's a technicality of course, with the same final result, but still.

Even though the Lightwardens are gone, aren't there still countless sin eaters roaming the entire world outside Norvrandt?

I was under the impression every living thing that was caught in the Flood was turned into one if they weren't simply killed outright. I suppose it remains to be seen if Eden will somehow fix that problem in the end.

I also feel like there are some details about what was going on at Eulmore that still haven't been filled in. Namely, how the truth of the "ascensions" and meol were being kept so secret despite it being a routine thing.

I'm honestly thinking there's going to be some manner of dungeon to flesh that out at some point in the MSQ, as I'd think they'd have had some special place to carry out those dark deeds as opposed to simply conducting it within the main part of the city (That big reinforced door in the military quarter is especially fishy).

To answer one of your questions...

The Flood does not turn all it touches into Sin Eaters. It wipes out everything, and leaves nothing behind at all, not even Sin Eaters - just a perfect, empty nothingness. Sin Eaters only appear in places the Flood has not yet reached, but that have high concentrations of Light. Even before the Flood began, the First was full near to bursting with Light, thanks both to the Ascians' manipulations and the world's natural balance favoring Light over Dark. After the Flood was halted, the border of the Flood provided a very fertile zone for the generation of Sin Eaters - and, of course, once they began to appear they worked to turn other beings into Sin Eaters, as well.

But no, we're not looking at 9/10ths of the world's living things turned into Sin Eaters by the Flood. 9/10ths of the world has been turned into nothing, not even Sin Eaters.

Regarding Eulmore

There are large metal doors near the SSS in Kholusia near big crabs, i believe this would probably be where the unsavoury things were carried out close enough to Eulmore but hidden enough out of sight
