The Soul Of Tears is a goblin unggue pot that appears in Snuff. According to legend, it contains the living soul of a goblin child[1]. According to Pastor Oats, Let it be said that those who live their lives where life hangs by less than a thread understand the Dreadful Algebra Of Necessity, which has no mercy, and when necessity presses in extremis, well, that is the time when the women need to make the unggue pot called ''the soul of tears'' , the most beautiful of all the pots, carved with little flowers and awash with tears[2]."
