FKN' FINALLY FRIDAY NIGHT

Can't decide if this week was productive or not BUT I'm nearly caught up on reading and I have a bunch of half-finished posts everywhere so I'll see if I can do SOMETHING interesting with my characters this weekend for once

Before I begin, can anyone tell me what souls were taken and used?  I believe that Arguis' soul was taken by Vestec, right?

Maize's corpse was tossed into the Crystralline Dragon tomb, but I wrote that before I realised what the souls were a reference to, and I'm pretty much done with the optic fiberlings arc anyway (bar Violet), so we can safely ignore that.

Can we assume that the pheromone angel and pilgrims Jvan sent to follow Slough were left behind or killed as Slough entered the Venomweald?
