The gods know that beings have souls because Escre gave them, right?

Yes...why? That doesn't mean other gods can't take a mortal's soul, as Astarte just did.

That would be like if I said it's impossible for any god to cause waves, drown anyone, or do anything remotely related to water. Escre could make a tsunami, if he wanted.
