Logically speaking there may be sundered Ascian fragments on the various worlds, but the cycle of souls may still be in play as it is for Azem and lead to them being reincarnated. Either way, their deaths (body and soul) wouldn't stop the unsundered from raising up pliant mortals.

(I suspect this has something to do with Fandaniel's... eccentric personality.)

Hydaelyn is present on all worlds, and is the same being across them. (Kinda. She's not actually summoned, just kinda floating around the aetherial sea.)

I thought my understanding was that the shards of the other Convocation members reincarnate through the life cycle similar to our Character and it is those shards the Ascians seek out and use the crystals to awaken their memories to restore them to their station.

Though given that Hythlodaeus said about the crystals not being concepts, being too incomplete to completely restore someone, I image exposing an Shard to these incomplete memories have unintended consequences of resulting in warping the personality of the target which would be why the Unsundered were necessary to keep in line if Fandaniel's reaction is anything to go off of. Unless Fandaniel himself was already warped during the gathering of the crystals his message is slightly more.... incomplete from the others messages we saw.
