Soletaken were an order of shape-shifter made possible by a ritual. This ritual involved the use of the blood of the creature into which the person veered into. All Imass Bonecasters were soletaken, and there were soletaken among most races.
In Deadhouse Gates
Soletaken and D'ivers sought the Path of Hands which promised Ascendancy to those shape-shifters who gained it. Many were killed in the convergence that followed, and others misled by High House Shadow, were taken by the Azath House, Tremorlor.
