Lore Question: Souls, Black and White

[The Holy Chicken Overlord]

In the world of TES, there are two types of souls, Black and White souls. White souls are those belonging to animals, monsters, and creatures, and can soul trapped with white soul gem . Black souls belong to the 10 races of Mer, Men, and Beastfolk, and can only be soultrapped with black soul gems. So my question is how come only the 10 playable races have black souls? Goblins, Giants, Rieklings, Grummites, and Falmer (and I'm sure a lot more creatures in TES I can't think of at the moment) all have their own languages, alphabets, cultures, and have learned how to farm, domesticate animals, and construct tools. Some Reiklings and Giants can even speak Cyrodiilic/Tamrielic perfectly and Falmer were (I suppose still are, but you know what I mean) a race of elves at one point, so why dont they have Black Souls? Discuss.

I think it is due to the Divines and the Deadrics blessed the 10 races with the power, and somehow the other races angered them so they gave them weaker souls.

Black Soul Gems can be used to trap the souls of sentient humanoid races, Imperials, Nords, Bretons, Redguards, Orcs, High Elves, Wood Elves, Dark Elves, Argonians, Khajiit and Dremora.
The others are not humanoid races, but may be humanoid in appearance, and are classed as monsters or creatures.
The distinction is arbitrary and was implemented by the Mages Guild at the request of Vanus Galerion as a means to limit the practice of soul trapping.
At one point in time only white souls could be captured, but necromancers, led by the Order of the Black Worm, found a way to capture human souls by creating black soul gems. Originally, black gems were created through a necromantic ritual from grand soul gems (Necromancer's Moon). However, some are found naturally in Blackreach (mine a geode ore vein) so the lore isn't consistent - which isn't exactly surprising as lore changes from game to game in the series.

It's possibble the Black Worm-created black gems are some kind of artificial re-creation of a naturally-occuring phenomenon. They're like the pleather of necromancy.

Not according to lore found in the TES series and in the game books. But, whatever, the lore changes from game to game so believe what you want.
