According to legend the sword that accompanies the skull has the power to change the tide of battle. However, it comes with a price. Before it can be carried out in battle and its power utilized, it has to take the life of an innocent virgin. It’s a sacred sacrifice a nation has to make if they want to stay under the power of the skull.
Nobody knows where it comes from, who created it and how it died in the first place. But it’s obviously the skull isn’t as much human as it is animal. The jaws, the teeth and the naturally evil eye sockets provide an indication that whatever it was before could not have been good.
For kings it was the easiest way to stay in power, but for the selected virgins it was a slow and painful death. With each war another sentence was fulfilled.
