The way I maybe head cannoned it, Irenicus was trying to concentrate the Bhaal-essence into himself, giving Bodhi Imoen's soul but taking the god essence he needed for his grand scheme. Of course Imoen's essence level was lesser than the MC...for reasons, the PC's Bhaal-rating was of course over 9000.

It's also true that removing the soul still left trace amounts of Bhaal's essence behind, we become the Slayer during this period, which I still figured would be enough to spread around to Sarevok.

Looking up a video of the ending to Throne of Bhaal, Imoen surrenders her Bhaal essence to the PC. I'm not sure what happens if Sarevok is there.

Interesting is this line
Solar: Only one other spawn of the dead god remains... the sibling who fought at your side.

I'm sure the Solar was just confused.

Considering how much of 4e seems to have fallen by the wayside, I hope they quietly shuffle the Abdel Adrian stuff away.

dumb, pseudo-intellectual and polite homophobe
