Wasn't worried about how to get them back. Obviously it takes a soul to
get divine units, but are they stored in the soul? If I swap bodies
using soul-catcher do I take my units with me? What about elemental
units? Can't be the soul because elves have EU. So are they stored
in the body or the spirit? If I use rob's spirit exchange do I take my
units with me?

Given this... you lose all your EU when you body swap using soulcatcher
since your spirit doesn't go, just the soul. Such rending isn't really
good for you. How does it affect nomads? Or does soulcather get your
spirit to? (which BTW may make elves partially susceptible (maybe a higher
die check)).
