It's established that True Souls undergo some ritual in the Moonrise Towers and that True Souls are just lieutenants who follow orders, not the real leaders of the cult. If True Souls are 'made' in the Moonrise Towers, then it's obvious there is some high ranking cult member who either knows some useful information about origins of the tadpole, Absolute or the initiation process. The cult members are kept in the dark, but the cult leadership knows both about the tadpole (thats why they told True Souls in the Act I to kill survivors from the crash) and the githyanki weapon (they ordered its recovery).

Zevlor is only important as a warrior and a leader of refugees and Nettie is Halsin's student. Neither is informed and knowledgeable enough to give you any real advice, they just point you to the most competent local healer. On the other hand Halsin's journals make it obvious that he isn't competent enough to deal with our tadpole and is puzzled by it as much as we are.

I see, so your logical conclusion is to not even try saving Halsin, who at the very least could provide you with information about the tadpoles, regardless of if he can acutally heal you or not. Honestly, I've argued about his very topic in length in a different thread, and I'm sick of discussing this. If you think the game gives you any meaningul incentives to side with the goblins other than blind power, you're entitled to your opinion.
