I was actually going to start reading it today, as I finished The Infernal City yesterday. I don't think the Ideal Masters have anything to do with the plot of the two books, but I still have Lord of Souls to read so I don't know. But, as far as I know, the soul eating beings that live on Umbriel simply adapted or were to designed to eat refined souls after the souls had already processesd through the ingenium (the thing that keeps the city afloat). It doesn't appear to have anything to do with the Ideal Masters. The ingenium may work similarily to a soul gem, however, and the souls that power Umbriel go to the soul cairn.
