[TUC Spoilers] Inchoroi souls

(1/4) > >>

Swayal Serpent:
So I always assumed that the inchoroi were ensouled beings just like Non Men, and Men. But it is revealed in TUC that they are essentially a more advanced weapon race that has been tasked with eliminating damnnation. It appeared as though they had souls because their mission to shut the world seemed to be predicated on their own fear of damnnation.  But according to the mutilated, they are simply artificial beings, same as Sranc, and are simply doing what their programming demands. After reading TUC, im almost certain that inchoroi have no souls. In addition to what we learned from the mutilated, I also remember a passage from one of the books that said something along the lines of "Even though the arc's crash killed most of the inchoroi, a thousand thousand of them still descend upon Earwa" (if any one knows which quote I'm referencing, I would appreciate an exact quote). It seems that the goal is to reduce Earwa's soul population to 144,000, in order to shut the outside. If that's the case, then adding a million ensouled Inchoroi to the population of Earwa would be counterintuitive.

However, we have also seen that the Inchies have the ability to use sorcery. In TTT Maithanet reveals that the skin spy who infiltrated the Mandate was able to use sorcery because it had a soul, and that would suggest that only ensouled beings can use sorcery. It has been established many times that Aurang can use magic, and suggested that Aurax can as well.

So what does everyone think? Are the Inchoroi ensouled?

Blackstone:
I think they definitely have souls. It does seem counterintuitive to land a bunch of souled beings on a planet where you are trying to eliminate souls, but the value of their fervor would outweigh that I suppose.

TLEILAXU:
Yes the Inchoroi have souls. Otherwise they wouldn't see anything in the Inverse Fire.

Well there's never really any evidence of the Inchoroi looking into the inverse fire, is there? It seems to be a tool they use to show other people their damnnation, but as far as I can tell, there isn't any mention of the inchoroi being motivated by the inverse fire

I think it's explicitly stated that the inchoroi were made to damn themselves and if they ever got to complacent the inverse fire device would "goad" them to continue their work in sealing off the world
