Sea of Thieves Skeleton Runes Timeline

  • For the past few weeks, Sea of Thieves have been hiding Skeleton Runes throughout their social channels. Our research team at the Ancient Isles University has put together a timeline with informative descriptions to recap their appearances. We originally shared this on our Twitter but we thought about making a forum post as well for those who prefer hanging out and discuss about these mysteries here 🧐

    🗓️ April 26: Quad Locked Chest.

    This post will be updated when new clues are shared by Sea of Thieves.


    Sooo... what do you think all this will lead to? 🧐

  • @skulliah Excellent work! Thank you for sharing this here!
    I don't know where all this will lead to. Could it be like a giant tease of future content? I'm very curious to know.

  • @jetorchidee97

    I personally would answer with that:

    😁

  • @skulliah Merfolk Face Death Below From Kraken For All Eternity!?

  • @jetorchidee97 ye cracked the code matey! 👏😅

  • Here’s my (fairly out there) theory:
    The chest that the Silver Blade sunk with that can summon the kraken contains a piece of the Old Mother’s remains (a cursed bone). Flameheart (or even just Captain Warsmith) wants to control the krakens in the world, or to resurrect the Old Mother.

  • Great detective work mate!

  • @gundy-the-shark said in Sea of Thieves Skeleton Runes Timeline:

    Oh I like that theory!

    I personally think that Old Mother soul could be in the Sea of the Damned and Flameheart may be trying to resurrect it and bring it back to the Sea of Thieves... We know that nothing truly die in the Sea of Thieves, and as there wasn't a kind Ferryman when it died, it may be "lost" in the Sea of the Damned like the Forsaken Alliance crew members.

    Strangely, Sea of Thieves retweeted lot of Kraken posts these past few weeks, if this can be hinting at something... who knows 🧐
