No, you can't convert threads to Astrals or Empyreans.
Why two? That allows them to give two different types of rewards with different timers for different tasks. Some are given as rewards for completing certain phases in iTrials or for completing the iTrial itself. Since I don't iTrial I can't give you all of the information about what is rewarded for what. However, ParagonWiki can give you information about how to earn Astral Merits and Empyrean Merits.
Empyreans can be earned in DA by talking to Taskmaster Gabriel and then completing each of the DA arcs (in the first run through in the zone or through Oroborous) every 7 days. Completing all of the arcs and talking to Taskmaster Gabriel gains you 2 Empyrean Merits each time (subject to the 7 day timer).
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Thanks, that helps a lot! I don't do itrials either so was hoping to get incarnate merits from DA (though I didn't realize the rewards were on a week-long timer like the SSAs). Good to know!

Larry: Owen, what the hell did you do to my wife?
Owen: Well I don't want to say on the phone - all I can tell you is that I killed her last night.
It looks like it's possible to convert Incarnate Threads to either Astral or Empyrean merits. Is it possible to go the other way around and trade incarnate threads for incarnate merits?
I'd like to unlock some of the costume junk, but the incarnate merits are much harder to come by than threads in Dark Astoria.
And (while I'm here) why are there both Astrals and Empyreans? They look to be used for a lot of the same stuff, so why not just have one or the other?
