I know she didn't have a GW at the time, but maybe, like with what PF did when A was stabbed witht the Morganti weapon, hides the soul. When Morrolan was killed and sorcery was used to make him unrevivafiable, BW had to have held onto his soul. Do GW hang onto the soul somehow? If it does, would they beable to do what they did for Aleira, and go get her in the paths? The LoJ wouldn't be too happy, but screw them :o) I know this sounds like rambling, and you're right, it is. I am hungery and didn't feel like editing. Make of it what you will. I am going to get some soup! -C
