What people understand the word to mean is going to depend on their religious background. Which is really a good reason for D&D to avoid talking about souls all together.But even CoS didn't say all the people are soulless. Even if it's 90% (as stated in CoS), you would still have several hundred people who do have souls who could go on to become ghosts. CoS Barovia appears to have a population of around 20,000, so that's 2,000 souls.But it's pretty clear that a lot of Ravenloft's undead have to have been created by the plane itself, and therefore have never actually been alive.</blockquote>
