Is it possible that the soul can't be truly destroyed, despite what prophet in Knights of the Nine said about Umaril the Unfeatherred, that the personality of Umaril stil exist despite his spirutual energy was "killed".

The Elder Scrolls series was always a sort of fantasy-life simulator, and it looks quite harsh to me to live in the universe, where you can be send to the state of nonexistence after death, since I belive in eternal afterlife and eternal soul very firmly :) Don't they just live in the sould cairn? All these people from a long long time ago are still in the sould cair, so they were probably already used. I think that when Alduin devours souls in Sovngarde they are no more, though.
