Makes you wonder if Emet did the stuffing down method or if Solus actually died on that one mission and Emet took over the body. Elidibus, the black masked and ShB/EW Fandaniel at least that we know of were manipulating dead bodies. No clue about Iygthorm, Nabriales or the few Ascians we physically deal with was doing the soul squish/old school possession or if most were doing the dead body snatch.

Hermes when we deal with him as let's kill everything Fandaniel and later as Amon does suggest that remembering past lives does actually happen. Or he probably wouldn't call Amon being his favorite. Do we think the Dorthral have people with soul sight? As we've been told they have a way of knowing who just got reborn even if the Dorthal was born into a different clan. It seems odd that even though that ability is talked as though it's rare amongst the Ancients that it would just disappear. Even in Elpis there seemed to be a few that could tell. Just not as strongly as Emet or Hythlodaeus.
