None of the mortals or ghosts that dwell in Skullstone have any clue of this. The religion put about by the Prince claims that those who don't become ghosts reincarnate. Thus, they are unaware that their homes, places of business, and necromantic conveniences, which all contain soulsteel, are made of their own ancestors.

Apart from the unspeakable evil, it's a pretty nice place to live.
Kinda like how Desus was a pretty nice guy, apart from the unspeakable evil he did.
