So I already understand that when Spirit Ghouls are the already-in-decline race, they cannot make any conquests on the turn that the active race declines, but do they score victory points for the territories they already hold?

Why can Spirit Ghouls not attack? Ghouls behave like "as if they were still Active tokens"... so why can they not attack? So if I have Spirit Ghouls (in decline), Race 2 (in decline) and Race 3 (active), I should get conquest + points for Ghouls, region points for Race 2 and conquest + points for Race 3– NeelCommented Aug 22, 2013 at 6:07

Yes,
From the Spirit description in the Rule Book.
You may thus end up with two different races In Decline on the map at the same time and score for them both.

Thanks for the answer. This was a sub-question to a previous misunderstanding, where I thought the player did not score during the turn they first entered decline. According to the rule book, you may not make new conquests on the turn you enter decline, but you do score.– GundabadCommented Feb 28, 2011 at 14:33
Going in to decline and conquering are exclusive events. The turn the ghouls go in to decline, they cannot attack.
If you have spirit as posed in the question, and the active race goes in to decline, then neither can attack as going in to decline is an exclusive event for the turn and after the decline phase is completed, the move goes to the next person.
This was also clarified by the developers with a small world clarification .pdf (http://templecon.org/13/files/boardgames/SmallWorld_FAQ.pdf)
Hope this helps, and have fun!
