Their origins are. . .about enigmatic, that is for certain. A warp-storm just "happaned" to ignite JUST before an Imperial scouting party was going to prep for exterminatus of the homeworld. Me thinks teh Emperor, teh Necrons,  or teh Chaotics might be at work in teh Etheral's inner circles. Empy tried to keep humanity in the dark about the Ruinous Powers just as the Ethereals are doing now. Having all of those tasty multi-racial souls all conveniantly plopped down in one place would easily make one o ol Valgul's red harvests so much simpler, Tzeentch could easily manipulate the Tau. . .Tauites? Tauvians? Tauish? Forget it, he/she/it/they  could be utilizeing them in the physical world via the Etherals for one of his massive long-term plots. Just my two cents, not like any of them are guarntees.
