Where do all the skulls go?

  • So, i was told that the Order of Souls apparently doesn't keep the skulls we sell them. They throw them away when they take the knowledge out of 'em. This begs the question: Where do they get thrown? Outside their tents? Out back on the islands? Who knows...

    Perhaps there is a island, somewhere deep in the Shroud, where they mass dump the skulls, chucking them deep into a pit, filled with nothing but skulls. Nobody lives there, at least nobody living does...

    So yeah, Skull Island, where the bodyless roam. That's my fan explanation/speculation for where they take the skulls. Could be a Tall Tale location where we have to look for a specific skull or something. Thoughts?

  • Nah, they just go to the top of Kraken’s Fall and dump them into the massive pile they already have! 💀

  • Skulls for the Skull Throne?

  • There's a specific region for skulls : The Wilds.
    What do you think the Rag & Bone crates contain?
    (i have no idea what im talking about btw)

    Is it The Ritual Skull because that goes to the woman outside the tavern.

  • Maybe they turn them into ritual skulls?

  • If there were baked goods for pirates to eat in this game, I would suggest the skulls were ground up and used as flour.
    Perhaps when the trap door at the Reaper's Hideout is opened, we may have an answer.

  • I always imagine it (jokingly) to be similar to the cash for gold episode of South Park. We supply it, they "use it" and give it away to be reburied for us to find again. Rinse and repeat. How else is there an unlimited supply of chests and skulls out there.

  • The tall tale portals are made entirety out of old skulls! How else do you explain their appearance?

  • When the Order of Souls are done extracting the information from the skulls, all that's left is dust (source: Athena's Fortune - Chapter 8).

  • They make fireworks out of them
    Calcium and potassium burn cool.

  • @realstyli ah, thanks! I was wondering if there was a actual lore explanation for it.

    But now comes the bigger question. What do they do with all that dust???

  • Helps to make a nice fertilizer for the deadly nightshade?

  • Maybe that's how skull keep got it's name. The original horde of skulls got buried underneath it and now they have just a mound of skulls on an unmarked portion of the sea of thieves.
