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.
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.
Ah I see. I can't remember it. I played way to much custom party back in days. Ok Imoen could give her essence to the MC but now I am confused bcs Viekang ist still alive as well as the "minor Bhaalspawn party" you encountered in Yaga-Shuras Enclave. It doesn't seem necessary after all that all Bhaalspawns have to die for Bhaals resurrection? Oh dear, hopefully Larian has come up with reasonable explanations if they were to go down this Abdel Adrian path... The main thing is that Imoen is not also a recurring companion!
