Well, we know the Easterners aren't native, but I > think they've been there long enough to have their souls fettered to > the planet itself, as opposed to the soul of Judgement, assuming > they're fettered at all. Dragaerans aren't native either; they're modified humans/Easterners. I would think this would make their souls interchangeable (I base this on the fact that Vlad is the reincarnation of the first Jhereg, although as someone already mentioned, this circumstance may have come about through divine intervention), but apparently the LoJ can differentiate between Easterners and Dragaerans just fine. Vlad, although he has the soul of an e'Kieron *and* a Jhereg, is not allowed to go back to the Paths of the Dead, as they don't let Easterners in; however, this makes me wonder whether his removal from the Dragaeran soul pool means that he will not be able to return to it, being part of the Easterner soul pool.
