As most of you probably know,You can buy a soul for four pence in the bazaar. I noticed in the inconvenienced by your aunt storyline that she is offered a good amount by the Devils, definitely more than four pence. Why is is that souls are so much pricier when bought from their original owner? I was thinking maybe because it its the only way to get new souls into the trading system. Any ideas?

Also, you can sell a soul for the same price that you can buy a rat on a string. Is there some kind of soul surplus that's lowering the prices? With spirifers abound, I would not be surprised.

Some souls are worth more than others.

Maybe some are less used than others?

you can observe that in a certain card that is unlocked doing a fate locked story and that allow you to sell your soul the PoSI option is much more profitable than the normal one, so there are souls more and less important and so more and less expensive

Also to Devils it's the hunt for a particular soul that appeals to them, as opposed to the Soul itself. Your Aunt's soul is much harder to acquire than a soul in the Bazaar thus inflating its value.

This is alluded to in The Heart's Desire Ambition and a storylet in Sunless Sea.

Cost inflates with rarity (those who are considered Brilliant or above are more costly simply due to the fact there are less of them), and notable citizens of the Neath are obvious collector pieces. With the right credentials, the player can sell their own for some...very fantastic prizes indeed.

Being one of the recenly soulless, i can attest to the before noted replies. Having one's accomplishments be far more than others is key, but so is refusing their initial requests making them want you even more. What Profit indeed!


Be warned, when you acceed, the others will not understasnd their refusal of offer and may not speak to you again. Should one such as myself regain my soul, i shall see if such an endevor again is possible. Is it selfish to miss Hell's tailor?


Asked to the truthseeker what's it like to be without a soul, especially with being a Midnighter Preacher--At least i still have my emotions, just...not a yearning attachment to moral conscience it seems. It's there, but more as a memory than a feeling. I know what the "right thing" is, I just don't have any pressing need to hold onto it. Others may call this absence what I used to have "guilt.")

So in other words being soulless is being a sociopath?
