Somnus is treated by his people exactly like how Waljas is treated by his people upon his birth. A people hunted to near extinction during the Astral War for still bearing magic and forced to hide on the land which would be Lucis (Lorule instead). The war ended but the people fear being hunted further, search for a way to hide from those who might still genocide them. For the crime of being born, being marked as Eos's (Dominant) Chosen, Somnus is turned into, essentially, a power generator, their very own Crystal to provide magic, power, and protection. For the people's prosperity, all it needs is the suffering of one child. The Veil which hides the Lorulian/Lucian people from basically everybody forms not long after.

The Izunias already have their heir, Ardyn, and they never planned a second. Ardyn, of course, does not approve but he's a child so he's not able to stop it.
