Where does your soul go when you die? Who gets it?

Post » Sat Jun 02, 2012 8:10 pm

I keep seeing people say that Akatosh gets your soul first since you are Dragon Born, but I can never seem to find anything in game to say this happens.

I also do not see anything that says being a Champion of a Daedric Prince means you soul goes to them when you die.

As a hero you would generally go to Sovngarde unless...

I know you trade your soul to Nocturnal when you join the Nightingales. You are to protect the santuary for eternity or until Nocturnal feels you have paid your debt.

Werewolves are cursed to join Hircine in the Hunt.

Your soul also seems to go to the void where you serve Sithis with the Darkbrotherhood.

I think all of them would fight over your soul but in the end you would either end up with Akatosh or Sovengaurd since akatosh is an Aedra and Shor rules Sovengaurd and was the former king of gods.

I didn't notice it before, but now that you mention it, there's alot of soul-owning going around.
Good question. Maybe they all make bets or play a game to see who will actually own your soul or come up with a time share agreement. I don't know.

It is akatosh mainly cause he created you and you are one of his children so he would send you to Sovngarde or where ever he sends his children but if he wasnt around then you would go with hircine if you become a werewolf mainly cause he would have the strongest bond with you or it might be that you would decided at the end or yes a huge fight for a dragonborn soul.

at least if u finish the TG quest line, u dont have to worry about Nocturnal because once u give her the skeleton key, ur pretty much squared away with her....so u dont have to worry about her.

In the expansion you ascend and replace talos, while saying to the people who want your soul

Problem?

I have been postulating different theories of this very problem through at least three different threads about the same exact topic.My new refined theory goes like this:

After all the dieties involved realize and compare notes they find that you "played" them.They then imprison you in a fig newton and meet at Sheogorath's party hall , where they sit and discuss fair options to "divvy up the goods". Sheo then grows bored and Wabbajacks your soul into a giant cheese-wheel , which the many gods you "played" then take a pie-shaped piece of all for themselves.They then get more than a bit drunk and play with their new cheesey-toys , each making a small cheese figurine of your former mortal shell.Then they re-enact a scene from "WWE RAW" cage match bouts and the winner takes all at which time the winner then gets the largest portion of undemolished cheese all for him/herself for the rest of eternity.

Now the fun begins.The other shattered cheesy-soul pieces must now employ any means possible to reconstruct your soul into a more whole piece.At this time it is suggested to use the "wooden bowl exploit" to glitch through objects thereby rendering your cheeseyness as whole as is possible and then escape from Sheo's realm where you will bide your time and evolve back from "the way of the cheese" to a more acceptable ethereal form more associated with ghosts and what-not.This is where I really hope you kept the damn bowl.............

You will need to employ the "wooden bowl glitch" numerous times to reach the realm where the majority of your (still cheesey) soul is being licked by a large cat with a rather illogical smooth tongue. This is probably a decision made to have the tongue smooith so as to not wear awy the layers of your cheese-soul.The bowl, as it is your only eternal weapon to which the soul cleaves , will now have to engage in immortal combat with said smooth-tongued cat to bring about the wholeness of your soul. If you are successfull , and by the nine, THOU ART DRAGONBORN , or some other nonsense, you will succeed and spend the rest of eternity making gingerbread houses for little men caling themselves "petcock boys" thus ensuring the endurance of the human spirit through eternal sugar-highs.

That's al I have for now , it's a work in progress and some portions may have been mis-interpreted through my haze of mountain dew and little chocolate doughnuts gluttony.

Maybe Akatosh feeds your soul to alduins soul? That would be funny....

I want to find a way to cast soul trap on myself then re-enter the black star. Too bad Malyn died before I could torture the secret out of him.
