[ Souls are a cornerstone of Egyptian culture, after all. He is bound to them, as a self-styled psychopomp in Kenos and a ( former? ) corruptor of the natural order to life and death; thousands of souls still rest within the curse, born upon his wrist in the form of a dark, miasmatic bracelet made of heavy beads. Sometimes, they even scream!
So. Why? How could creating souls benefit Aetós? For what purpose, would they create and manipulate them? If souls were formed from the Tree of Life ( or captured, brought forth to the world of Kenos ), then... ]
To create them independent of the Tree of Life, could be a method of fashioning a third "faction" — souls, that do not resonate with either Meridian or Zenith forces, but instead a third. Perhaps Aetós has uncovered information that has lead them to seek a different way of obtaining what they want. If we knew what they wanted, it would inform much of what they are doing.
[ This is why Set enjoys learning about people's convictions! It informs how and why they do things, and helps him interpret and pre-empt their next actions. ]
