The Severed Heads of the Silanda first appear in Deadhouse Gates as a macabre collection of cleanly severed Tiste Andii and human heads, preserved through magic and capable of opening their eyes on command. These heads serve as both grim trophies and functional magical artifacts, their preservation suggesting powerful sorcery at work. Their presence aboard the Silanda hints at the ship's dark history and the violent conflicts that have marked its voyages across the Malazan world.
