Hmm, doubt Shae will have an army of puppets. Recall that Aurang's projections through the synthese require a circle of sorcerers to maintain the cants.
On the original thread topic, the weapon races are driven by the No-god's will when he arises, what more dread instrument do you need?
The idea of using dunyain souls for some kind of sorcery is interesting. Based on Akka's descriptions of how souls are trapped and utilized in sorcery, and the hints we are given within his dreams of the consult's methods in stripping souls of identity and will before processing them in the golden room I would expect Dunyain souls to be too strong to be used in such a manner. Doesn't mean Khellus couldn't do it, but I struggle to suggest a method or indeed a purpose via which he could use them. I think manufacturing his own artificial god and a weapon race for it to wield is possible - the ordeal itself given gene therapy in their sranc steaks perhaps? - but I cannot see K. enslaving himself in the manner that the consult have.
I see no reason why the consult should not have continued to recruit and corrupt members in the same way they did Ieva and the Scylvendi. I do not doubt that they had corrupted sorcerers within the Anagogic schools - they would have only needed the special ensouled skin spy to get into the Mandate because of Seswatha's homonculous.
