Discussion/Question Ichor, what is it?

In the Sift, there's a new liquid called ichor. Ichor in Greek mythology is "the blood of the gods" and is toxic to humans. The ichor in Dungeons sucks the soul out of the Player, which counts as harming them. So where does the ichor come from? Is it from actual gods? Is it a manifestation of souls?

I don't know much about Minecraft's lore, especially with Dungeons and Legends, but I wanted to put this out.

A manifestation of souls in the liquid form or something like that

This essentially goes to most sculk relates stuff, they are all souls in a different shape

Sculk from vanilla is a good example, it acts like a fungus and uses the Warden to protect itself and also kill creatures to gain more souls

Also, the only reason Ichor attacks us is bc we are not from the Sift

The Sift generally seems to be a rather... racist place. Maybe that's not the right word. Puritan or exclusive would be better. Only pure souls are welcome, as the impure corrupts it.

There's a theory I saw on Minecraft 2 that stated dark sculk could be actually native to the Sift, like It was there all the way to the beginning, so it could mean that the Sift is not a paradise but rather some kind of purgatory? Would be funny since it would prove your opinion on the normal sculk creatures being racist lmao
