...and that immediately starts me thinking about parallels... and some sort of bizarre attempt (run on fairly strong resonances, superior-level power, and a whole lot of "not here for long, but tons of it right now" essence) by "Celestia" to use these new ethereals in an attempt to redeem "Nightmare Moon" back into the loving sister that she used to be before frustration and jealousy got to her.
In a sufficiently Bright world, there's actually a decent chance of it working. In a Darker, lower-contrast world, it's basically an attempt to distract Beleth with confusion and offense at the very idea, while more competent servitors do something risky and high-payoff. (stealing a few sacks-full of demon hearts, for example).
Incidentally, I could totally see this as the result of a servitor of Eli trying to put together something that might please Blandine (while annoying Beleth) and rolling Divine Intervention.
