Looking at their behavior patterns, the Chosen are really good at two things, growing in power (kill many rats) and still managing to get themselves killed without accomplishing anything of note. Ralke's nature resulting from contamination from outside magic (which seems pretty much certain to be Chosen-related, at least to me) suggests the rat-killing behavior isn't just a strategy that church handlers advise the Chosen to employ, rather its an internal directive arising from the magic of the Chosen itself. I think you're confusing Chosen and Adventurers here. Those guys that keep talking about killing rats and and taking quests from message boards are not the chosen - they are just some classical adventurers. Ralke doesn't share anything with chosen, he's similar to those adventurers.

I think Chosen might not be intentionaly created, they might be a side effect of the goddes being trapped one of Incubus Kings. Something like her divine essence with some addition of IK's magic seeping through to the world and affecting random people.

There were a lot of theories that Xerces will be the true vilian of the game. I'd like to propse alternative theory. Xestris implies that Xerces will have yet to decide how to deal with Simon. That, together with the fact he seemed the most reasonable of all Incubus Kings on gathering in my opinion implies he actually might become an ally after all. I think he might end up playing similar role to Noln from Desecration of Wings - If Simon can push his ambition by himself he will do so but If the can't he'll have to depend on Xerces.
