My understanding of the rules was that Gods and other Outsiders do not have souls....when they die they are just gone.
It should also be pointed out that when Pharasma judges someone's soul, she generally sends it somewhere, and since none of the other gods are going "Lookee here! I've got Aroden's soul right here!" it begs the question of where Aroden's soul is.
There's also this theological point:
"Thais, the Accidental Herald
Before rising to the status of Herald of the Accidental God, Thais was a prostitute and friend of the then mortal Cayden Cailean. The two adventured together on more than one occasion, and after her death the now divine Cayden claimed her spirit and placed her in her current role."Thais is a mortal who became a demigoddess after death specifically because her friend Cayden Cailean passed the test of the Starstone, became a god, and then decided he needed a herald.
Since Iomedae became a goddess the same way--except she did it on purpose--it's a reasonable theological question whether she now has Aroden's soul, and if so, why doesn't she just raise it to godhood again?
I should point out that I don't want these questions answered as they are best answered by individual GMs.
