| Oh, there can be some skull of Alaundo out there. Just not the skull of THE Alaundo. |
Instead of seeking change, you prefer a void, merciless abyss of a world... |

| If I kill Alaundo and chop off his head, but the clone of Alaundo activates, then the skull of Alaundo is both attached as well as lying on the ground unattached. |

| What is Alaundo's status then? Is he currently something akin to a(n) (Arch)Lich? |

| ...it's honestly kind of a 'meh' reveal. The skull has been floating around in Limbo forever, doing jack-all, despite being the last remaining relic of the greatest prognosticator since Savras himself, and now the dude himself is a glorified bedsheet. |

See folks, now THAT was the clone. Now that skull over there that that gnome is playing with attaching a skull on top of a wooden puppet that he's carved, that's ONE of the skulls of a prior Alaundo. That illithid over there drinking boiled brain broth from a upside down skull that's lined on the inside with glass, that's another skull of a prior Alaundo. There's many uses one can put to a skull of Alaundo. I was thinking one might really enhance the functioning of a crystal ball that it's inset into, for instance if one got a sizable piece of personal material. On a totally different topic.... anyone seen Alaundo's hair brush? |

Look at that disembodied floating big head. Evidently even Alaundo himself hasn't seen that missing hair brush for a long time now. |

Oh dear gods...apparently I'm using a different Alaundo's head for my game of candlepins...I thought it was the only one, but now I see it isn't...'tis a shame, really...was gonna sell it to the highest bidder at the upcoming auction in Waterdeep...guess that's out the window now...

| If we brought two heads of Alaundo together,will they hold a proper conversation or simply quote prophecies at each other for hours? |

This gives Aamuel and Hethradiah vibes. |

They tend to just lay there, since the soul is in the current clone. I heard though that a person who places a magic mouth spell upon one head and then brings it close to another head of Alaundo will cause it to suddenly "come to life" just long enough to animate and say some cryptic phrase. Of course, I've never had two heads together at once to confirm this, and it smacks of spuriousness, so I doubt the truth of it. |

Sounds like another one of Volo's often-told "tales" that even he can't tell is the truth or not...but there have been stranger things in the Realms before... |

That reminds me, I DO know what happens if you bring two Volo heads together. Nothing. It seems there are a lot more of those available around the realms after there was one version of Voltohamp Geddarm that was eaten by a deepspawn. Someone even told me that there's a bugbear tribe that made a set of stretched scalp drums on a trio of Volo skulls that had their tops removed |
