The shard holders are powerful, but I really don't see them being powerful enough by themselves to kill a goddess. I think Xerces is either trying to use Theoson to wake her back up, or he's trying to create a rift to siphon some of her power to improve his lands. Kinda like how the demon summoners we've seen so far have been.

I don't really see the soulbearers killing a goddess. Insteda, I think that they are a byproduct of the possible killing/neutralization of a goddess. As we know that the Incubus King are old (the dean of them, the Lustlord has been around for one thousand years and he was the youngest among them). So if their power is a consequence of the battle between the Lustlord (the god) and Tertia, and that is the reason of Tertia's inactivity, I'm reasonably that she has to be in stasis and not dead, because they would have more severe effects on the world as you had pointed out.
