A rather goofy thread, but an interesting subject nonetheless. FINAL BATTLE SPOILERS

Bhaal's Holy Symbol is a human skull, viewed head-on, surrounded by 13 tears flowing in a counterclockwise direction. Assuming that the 13 tears are physical objects (or manefestations of Bhaal's divinity), where are they? You gained 5 of them through your Trials in Hell. With Ascension installed, the results of the Pocket Plane challenges could easily equate to another 5. (Both of these places would be logical situations in which to "come to terms" with fragments of your father's soul, as they were both created by your Bhaal essence.) Are there 3 more Tears out there, sitting in some Lost & Found waiting to be claimed?

And rummaging through some of BioWare's concept art, http://www.bioware.com/games/throne_...ml?galleryID=7 (top row, far right), I see that Amelysan is wearing 5 of the Tears of Bhaal herself. Regardless of how she got them, this brings the total to 15--are 2 of them phonies?

Random thoughts: A "Missing Tears" MOD that allows the PC to locate/earn the missing 3 Tears (looted from the last 3 of the Five, perhaps), and allows the Tears (all the Tears, even those earned during the Hell Trials) to be given to ANY Bhaalspawn in the party, not just the PC.
