I been holding out on this

neon saffron
#

well thats cause its in the literal center

hybrid gazelle
#

I kinda wanna see remake corrupted village as isntead of stopping corruption from corrupting the ivllage

#

into you dealing with the aftermath

paper wyvern
#

Why is the city that's 5 feet from the center of the apocalypse an economic powerhouse who the fuck knows

hybrid gazelle
#

liek you need to clear out this city and evacuate all the survivors

#

destry the spike to prevent growth

#

but in the end many lives were lost

neon saffron
#

I love how throughout the whole game I never feel like a soldier (except for flight in distress, but thats just cause flight in distress is awesome like that)

hybrid gazelle
#

this is my take on it

#

like this is my take

#

Detlas being economic center of wynn

#

due to the fact that it presences allow easier trading route

#

Ragni can send its export to Detlas

#

and later on be distribute to other cities

#

and not just Ragni have to travel

#

ALLLL THE WAY

#

to to cities like Nemract or Almuj

#

and vice versa for other city

paper wyvern
#

It's honestly kinda hilarious that the land route from nessak to detlas literally goes next to the roots

neon saffron
#

honestly given the corruption nemract should be the economic center, especially considering gavel

slim belfry
paper wyvern

#

What I think would make the whole thing way better without massive lore changes is if they made the entire wall around Roots of Corruption as tall as the Detlas walls on the Detlas side, but you know still mostly broken

hybrid gazelle
#

so now they have control over Detlas through villager represntative

gleaming apex
#

To show the measures they go through to stop the corruption

paper wyvern
#

Villager interactions also has to take into account that yes wynnex is still part of the lore

hybrid gazelle
#

instead of helping Nemract and Nemract stay as human ruled settlement

neon saffron
#

why are they just okay?

hybrid gazelle
slim belfry
#

river

hybrid gazelle
#

of river geographically

#

and I honestly

#

honestly i dont really buy into that bullshit but like it fine enough

gleaming apex
#

Because river taste better then lava

hybrid gazelle
#

I guess corruption just

#

really HATE water

#

this further in my theory

paper wyvern
hybrid gazelle
#

is that corruption itself is wynncord made manifest

slim belfry
#

LOL

gleaming apex
#

They should just divert the river to surround the roots at that point

formal bridge
#

Corruption is vampires confirmed, it can't cross running water

hybrid gazelle
formal bridge
#

That's why the river barrier works in gavel too, the decay is also vampires

neon saffron
#

damn I was about so say it might be because of Ethe, but didnt they change that to Ethe having lived in nivla village

slim belfry
paper wyvern
hybrid gazelle
#

that probalby work too I guess

gleaming apex
#

What if Lari's long lost cousin Iral maintains the river barrier there

hybrid gazelle
#

Nah it all just scout raynauld

#

he is just that good

#

Annie shake in its boot when Raynauld arrive

neon saffron
#

hes why they succeeded against anni in 985

formal bridge
#

Reynauld just gets given a gatling gun and single handedly beats anni

gleaming apex
#

Also why did Theorick need to freeze himself, just jump in the river lol since it's apparently completely impervious to corruption

paper wyvern
#

I mean everything the talking mushroom says should be taken with a grain of salt cause the guy will just make up things so you can't really take it as part of the lore at face value but yknow

hybrid gazelle
#

Scout Raynauld according to the lore for some reason

#

THIS MAN

#

TAKE DOWN CORRUPTION SPIKE

#

WITH JUST BOW AND ARROW

neon saffron
hybrid gazelle
#

like

#

the same spike that we need magical TNT to blow it up

#

Raynauld just use fucking bow and arrow and pop it like ender crystal

#

like wtf

formal bridge
#

Reynauld is the secret twelth sovereign

gleaming apex
#

Wait actually what if the spikes were literally weakened by the magical river that prevents corruption

hybrid gazelle
#

The reason Bak'al did come to wynn after Bob is gone is because of Raynauld

#

he know Raynauld would be here

hybrid gazelle
#

butl ike

#

it WAYYY funnier to think that Raynauld just that good

formal bridge
#

Reynauld 360 noscopes Bak'al when he shows up

gleaming apex
#

I mean it's kinda weird how the corruption just hard stops at the river banks

neon saffron
hybrid gazelle
#

Bak'al after 4 seconds of fighting Raynauld

split night
#

since salted is one of the creator
are those painting of him in the game be canonically considered a picture of jesus

hybrid gazelle
#

so Salted painitng is morel ike

#

god himself

#

as far as we know

formal bridge
#

I feel like this is a theological debate that caused several heresies

hybrid gazelle
#

Salted od not fuck

#

I MIGHT BE WRONG ofc

#

but as far as the public know

#

Salted did not fuck

#

so we do not have Jesus equlivant yet

split night
#

i mean what about the cow guy in one of the quest

hybrid gazelle
#

but consider his stance of being the owner of Wynncraft

It's highly unlikely we will get Jesus equalivent of Wynncraft

neon saffron
hybrid gazelle
#

no he is an alien

#

he just an alien

#

who happen to look like cow

#

he is like

#

demon of babylon in sheep clothing

split night
#

cow originated from outerspace canonically??

neon saffron
#

who are you to say the son of god cant be an alien

hybrid gazelle
#

no

#

Woc are just alien

#

who happen to be like cow

#

and they also happen to be anmed Cow but backward

split night
#

they are suspiciously cow

hybrid gazelle
#

I gonna put that theory on hold

hybrid gazelle
#

they just HAPPEN to look like cow

#

and not a cow

split night
hybrid gazelle
#

if you only judge thing by its apperance

#

then you miss what truly matter deep inside

#

Genetic code

split night
#

yeah yeha i got it xd

neon saffron
#

if god is canonically a cow it isnt unreasonable for all species to eventually evolve into cow

hybrid gazelle
#

not really because that imply that like

#

every spieces in the world is evolve from human according to chirstian text

#

so like

#

no

#

they would nto evovle at all actually

hybrid gazelle
#

oh

#

into uhh

#

no because crab exist

formal bridge
#

Then god is a crab

hybrid gazelle
#

yeah

formal bridge
#

Jinx

neon saffron
#

well then now we know, christianity is wrong because god is crab

hybrid gazelle
#

also btw

#

there are more religion in wynncraft

#

like VIllagers imply to have their own religion

#

that oddly sound smilar to chirstianity

neon saffron
#

do we know what they worship?

hybrid gazelle
#

with nine hell and like whatever

#

we dont know

#

it something about their old monarchy system

split night
#

is god a crab? xd

hybrid gazelle
#

there also elves with the light

#

I GUESS DWARVES you could count that they worship their ancestor and legacy???

split night
hybrid gazelle
#

You could say that

#

So yeah

#

we got some couple religion here

formal bridge
hybrid gazelle
#

We got wynn human
villager
elves
dwarves

#

we know corkian has no god

#

because they are reddit chud

#

cause only reddit chud would love steampunk asthetic

#

also fruma too because they worship the queen

neon saffron
#

ok so religions, humans have cow, villagers have idk, elves have orphion, doguns have Garaheth and Colussus, and what else

split night
hybrid gazelle
#

dwarves have hteir ancestor and legacy

#

if you lok it at certain angle

split night
#

what about those squid people in nesaak

hybrid gazelle
#

Fruma humans worship the queen

#

taht we know

hybrid gazelle
neon saffron
#

Avo worship like nature itself and stuff right?

formal bridge
#

Technically wynn excavation is a cult around Amadel

hybrid gazelle
#

also honestly seeing the queen

#

I kinda get it

split night
azure tangle
#

wait until she takes off her makeup

paper wyvern
#

We have bovemists
Light worshippers
God queen of fruma
Whatever doguns and garroth is

formal bridge
hybrid gazelle
#

doguns worship both colossus and garaheth

#

OH YEAH

split night
#

huh
what about Ba'lak and Corruptor of world?
they worthship the dark

hybrid gazelle
#

ASHMORD ALSO ONCE WORSHIP COLOSSUS

#

until they fall

hybrid gazelle
#

that one single guy

#

you cant make religion base on one single guy LOL

neon saffron
#

do the avo have anything?

hybrid gazelle
#

no

#

avo dont have anything

split night
paper wyvern
hybrid gazelle
#

I mean they live with nature I guess

split night
paper wyvern
#

Yeah avo have some type of shamanistic religion

hybrid gazelle
#

but sure

neon saffron
#

there should be a group that worships a pantheon, I think it would be pretty cool

hybrid gazelle
#

I can see that

paper wyvern
#

Corkus without being confirmed is reddit aethist

formal bridge
split night
hybrid gazelle
#

THEY ARE REDDIT AETHEIST

hybrid gazelle
#

I guess

#

sand kingdom worship their emperor

#

but they die

#

so who give a fuck

split night
#

oh right

#

xd

neon saffron
#

they probably had like an egypt style god emperor thing

#

there was like a wierd dern cult thing in the twain graveyard

split night
#

i always wondered whether or not the 4 powerful crystal is a product of dark
since the guy who consumed 4 of them just went crazy and become a being with a lot of power that resemble the dark

#

or it's just similar

formal bridge
#

Nah that's weird cosmic magic

#

Amadel just went a bit cookoo and it's an early quest with a bit shaky writing

split night
paper wyvern
hybrid gazelle
#

trust me lore of wynncraft will get better when fruma ocme out

#

I can assure you

paper wyvern
#

Honestly cosmic magic is the weirdest part of the wynn magic system

hybrid gazelle
#

like just stick around

neon saffron
paper wyvern
#

Even with fruma taken into account

formal bridge
#

Coamic magic is just the randomize butron manifest

paper wyvern
#

Although fruma does solidify the rest of the magic system a lot better

formal bridge
#

"Turn villagers into weird hungry monsters? Yeah sure why not"

paper wyvern
#

Cosmic is still weird

neon saffron
#

well we know it drives people insane thats like the only thing we know about it for sure

split night
paper wyvern
formal bridge
#

It's all meteors

split night
neon saffron
formal bridge
#

Just different ones

#

You have the four wynn ones that the Olm used somehow or other and then the two in Gylia which caused all the weirds to appear there

paper wyvern
formal bridge
#

Yeah there's also just a bunch of minor ones dotted around the map

split night
#

though, why 4 crystal?
we have 6-7 element ( if you count dark and neutral as elements )
the colour of the crystals seem to resemble 4 of the element

paper wyvern
#

And the fact that gavel has an organization for dealing with them because of the insanity thing

split night
#

there is also a spot near the silent expanse with all 4 crystal next to each other as well

neon saffron
#

or was it just the green one

paper wyvern
split night
#

huah??

#

where is that in the game that mention the olm had all of them

#

did i miss some important lore context

#

xd

formal bridge
#

I interpret it as the four olm temple ones aren't actually that special and amadel and his cult were just crazy

#

Silent Expanse has discoveries where miners discover some meteor crystals and also a flashback of an astronomer seeing them crashing if I remember right

split night
#

i thought the astronomer thing was an flashback of olm the moment the portal got discovered?

#

i mean 0 AP

formal bridge
#

Let me check

neon saffron
split night
#

okay lemme check the wiki a bit

formal bridge
#

Yeah so meteors were a semi regular occurance

#

I just mixed it up a bit

split night
#

huh

#

does this mean up where dogun live have a bunch of crystal?

neon saffron
#

damn, wynncrafts atmosphere must suck, aint protecting them from nothin

split night
#

since you can actually see meteor rain down in here

neon saffron
split night
neon saffron
#

the fireballs in the molted heights are probably from the volcanoes though, not space

split night
neon saffron
split night
#

oh yeah that does make sense

neon saffron
split night
neon saffron
split night
#

i thought the big guy just kind of smash his sword really hard on the ground and rip open everything below

#

xd

formal bridge
formal bridge
formal bridge
neon saffron
#

so yeah, void is like on another plane of existence or is the space between them. Real 4th dimension type stuff

split night
#

i guess that could explain how it just randomly appear

neon saffron
#

yeah, its also staded that the grootslangs lived deep underground, which wouldnt make much sense wit the void below them

split night
#

it moved through the 4d space and enter a narrow 3d slice that happen to be this universe

neon saffron
earnest prairie
#

what if the void is actually a 1d space

split night
#

what
you mean like linear space?

earnest prairie
#

yep. we are reduce to graphs and lines

neon saffron
#

probably not since it fills all this space

split night
#

void is kinda implied to be... something?
It's just that the something in question is nothing, and nothing can be nothing so it's just a place of paradox

or things are just warped heavily as they interact with true nothingness

split night
brittle prism
#

I always thought the realms of influence were directly under or over the realm of physicality

#

Like

#

they're just floating

split night
#

actually on a second thought, the realms of influence isn't above or under
they are in the fourth axis kind of place

#

like
above and under is for 3d

#

so that place in 4d is where the realms are
we just can't imagine them being in that direction cuz we're 3d

brittle prism
#

I thought the silent expanse is said to have been conquered before the portal opened

#

So the dern folks might have just used an elevator

#

magic elevator

neon saffron
#

Well the portals may be ways of moving across the 4th dimension

split night
neon saffron
#

So they might be exactly that, magic elevator

split night
#

they just
kinda is there for some reason

brittle prism
#

Weren't the Olm already gone by the time of humans entering Wynn?

#

And humans were there to see the portals open

#

So how did Dern drive the Olm out of the silent expanse before the portal opened if they weren't in the same dimension?

split night
#

and the recruit seem to come at around 950-1000 AP

neon saffron
brittle prism
#

Yes

#

But what drove out the Olm?

#

The portals weren't open

split night
brittle prism
#

Well we know

#

It's Dern

#

So they must have gotten to the silent expanse someho

#

somehow

split night
#

no?

#

it's just a regular canyon that have meteor rain before the dern takes over

split night
#

i think they either die by the dark or just got a meteor killed them or smth

neon saffron
#

Imagine in the diagram I posted earlier that some spot stretched out towards the plane of influence, I think that's what the portals are, and also why the areas around it are more influenced by that realm

split night
#

they also kinda die at least 1000 years before the main event of the game take place

brittle prism
#

because they were before humans

split night
#

what?

#

Wynn have humans before fruma's human come

#

xd

#

actually wynn have human before the arrival of the gavel villagers even

gleaming apex
#

I thought it was implied that the Eye killed all the olm

brittle prism
#

oh right

#

desert empire

#

forgor

split night
neon saffron
#

they hid in the dernel jungle for a while

brittle prism
#

Still, if the Olm were driven out of the SE before the portals opened that means Dernic forces got there somehow

#

some other way

neon saffron
gleaming apex
#

Were they driven out before the portals? I thought they were driven out 0AP

brittle prism
split night
brittle prism
#

It shows both the light portal and corruption portal opened at the same time

#

and Dern?

#

It says all the portals

#

in the quest

split night
earnest prairie
brittle prism
#

Wait

#

Ohh

#

maybe the dern portal opened before the other 2

brittle prism
#

I think it used to be in the quest of Aldorei's Secret II but it was removed

#

That might have been done so that it doesn't break the timeline

split night
#

how did you even got that
if the dern portal open before the other 2 it would just make the other 2 portal open in a chain event and 0 AP would happen earlier as well

neon saffron
brittle prism
#

Yeah but how?

earnest prairie
#

dark elves...

brittle prism
#

If it's in a different space on the 4th dimension

earnest prairie
#

wait are there dark evles in gavel?

split night
#

xd

split night
brittle prism
#

That's why I think both the Realm of Influence and Realm of Physicality are in the same 3d space

#

Just far apart

#

Very far apart

neon saffron
#

even if beings couldnt travel physically to the realm of influence, they were influencing the world for as long as they exxisted

brittle prism
#

Also the portals still existed before their activation

split night
#

i doubt that would make any sense
it would just implied the portals are a form of teleport

and the corruption exist elsewhere before wynn

brittle prism
#

what

#

where did you get that from

slim belfry
#

uhhhhhh

split night
brittle prism
gleaming apex
#

Why do you think the Olm were driven out of the SE before the portals opened?

brittle prism
#

I think the realms of influence are literally physically below the realm of physicality

slim belfry
#

they're not

gleaming apex
#

No

split night
brittle prism
split night
#

and judging by how weird space work in RoL and the place outside of Dern portal

earnest prairie
gleaming apex
#

The realms of influence are at the very least like a different dimension. They are not somewhere you can travel to physically unless you tear a hole in reality aka: the portals or the sky islands

split night
#

like saying the singularity inside of a blackhole occupied the same place as earth

#

i hope this analogy work well

#

also what would that make the Void be

#

xd

brittle prism
gleaming apex
#

Also why do you think the Olm were driven out of the SE before the portals opened? I don't actually remember anything about that being implied

#

Not the gas planet theory again

split night
slim belfry
#

WHAT IS GAS PLANET THEORY

neon saffron
#

I think the realm of influence is on top of the realm of existence in 4d space, but they are not flat planes, the planes are curved in such a way that the locations with the portals are closer to their realm in 4d space, with the only way to bridge the remaining gap being the portals

slim belfry
#

HUH

split night
#

i also want to get the answer of that

earnest prairie
#

what if you thought of it like a graph?

formal bridge
brittle prism
#

olm were being bombarded by cosmic meteors when dern invaded

split night
formal bridge
#

I personally don't agree with it and pretty much all in universe evidence is the planet is normal curved shape

#

just very mountainy

brittle prism
#

Gavel secret discoveries say those happened around 400 years ish before the portals opened?

slim belfry

slim belfry
#

also havent down calc in years but I can see what you're going for

neon saffron
#

this is my concept

split night
#

say they are 2 1D lines, maybe the portal act as like a bump in space

gleaming apex
# brittle prism <@379028329015017483>

Aren't meteors still occasionally landing even to this day? And the fact that they had a full observatory when they were invaded means it took place a good while after the meteors started

earnest prairie
slim belfry
split night
formal bridge
neon saffron
earnest prairie
#

or the same thing but inverted

formal bridge
#

i'm shocked that like 50% of the planet isn't just craters considering how many meteors apparently hit

gleaming apex
#

And also it's confirmed that the Eye was what drove them out of the SE pretty sure

earnest prairie
#

actually wait change the red but going down the center

Oh what if Corruption is the best part of Light and Dark mixed?
if all of their part got cancel out except for "Influence" then corruption is just Pure unfiltered influence

because funny

brittle prism

because old NOL dialogue

split night

Trust me, I don't think the realm of war is planning good

I think that the realm of war is manipulating both sides to intensify the conflict

Realm of war is the byproduct of Dern and Light

Doesn't mean it can't do its own stuff

I think that the realm of war was created by the conflict between Light and Dark, but became its own thing and is now pursuing its own goals

i mean WynnEvac D still exists right? so as long as it stays the quest is still canon right?

the realm is the beast and the beast is the realm?

brittle prism
#

Realm of War is weird asf

#

Is it just a battleground?

earnest prairie
gleaming apex
#

You see, my major theory is that Orphion mentioned the power that let the dark break the stalemate between them, and I think that's a deliberate word choice. Who would benefit the most from breaking a stalemate? War! So my theory is that all the stuff that's been happening from the parasite to the portals opening, maybe even helping us, could all be a plot by the Realm of War to create more conflict than ever seen before

earnest prairie
#

like do we gotta lather ourselves in like zombie juice or smth to not get corrupted?

#

or space suit?

split night
neon saffron

Is it ever implied that the Realm of War has a beast actually

earnest prairie

not physically but def was tweaking

And here's my even more out there theory:
Everyone has mentioned how the Roots of Corruption look like a ribcage. What if the Beast of War is trying to get enough power to create a physical form, and the Roots of Corruption are the incomplete body

gleaming apex
neon saffron
split night
#

we have a third realm with a seperate god to deal with now

The corruption seems to solely be aiding the dark right now, but if it's really a mix between light and dark that doesn't seem right

earnest prairie
#

plot twist: theres a 5th realm. Realm of Salted

#

After all Realm of War is kind of a midpoint between Dern and Realm of Light (?)

split night
brittle prism
#

If Orphion started dominating maybe Bak'al would start sucking up to Orphion

split night
#

realm of war is a little closer to dern

earnest prairie
#

i'd say its even

#

it corrupts you with dark intent, but fills you with saving light (at the cost of the mind)

#

yknow, sacrifices X for Y, but replaces X with Z

gleaming apex
#

I think that the Realm of War wants maximum conflict, so it was helping the dark to push into the peaceful lands of Wynn, Gavel, etc.

idk how he fling that obelisk that far

I mean the thing is that it is its own Realm, that's confirmed, so that's why I think it's at least possible there's more going on

neon saffron
earnest prairie
#

maybe they'll introduce inhabitants of the corruption

wary lantern
earnest prairie
#

I'm thinking demons

wary lantern
#

its not nearly as effective on us because it wasnt meant for us or designed around our intervention so that helps

earnest prairie
#

is there a bezelbub in wynncraft?

brittle prism
#

Maybe bak'al is modelled after American defense contractors

gleaming apex
#

Except the parasite wouldn't have been an issue if someone(Lari) didn't try to spare it lol

brittle prism
#

An allegory

wary lantern
#

yea

#

i have to wonder how much DB foresaw that and was banking on it

split night
wary lantern
#

or if it was just not expecting it and she threw anyways

#

lmao

neon saffron
split night
#

literally

brittle prism
#

He lives in war yet keeps his intelligence

wary lantern
#

bak'al was a mining captain right

split night
brittle prism
#

Just like Lockheed Martin sells weapons to the USA while not being a part of the government

split night
#

he maybe the first or second ever person to enter Realm of War

wary lantern
#

i thought he was like the captain of the mining team onsite when the portal opened

neon saffron
wary lantern
#

i assumed he went in out of curiosity when the portal opening wiped his team or smth

#

oh

#

was it

#

i forgor

#

i thought cow was uncertain

neon saffron
#

it is

wary lantern
#

like no one knows that origin or even if it was first or not

split night
wary lantern
#

?

brittle prism
#

If Bak'al was a mining captain he could have been driven by profit

#

Bak'al is Lockheed Martin

wary lantern
#

it would explain his weird commandive cowardice

#

karen (male karen? kevin?) manager energy

split night
wary lantern
#

idk man i was just trying to think of a equivalent and it has a similar mouthfeel

brittle prism
#

BAK'AL IS AN ALLEGORY FOR DEFENSE CONTRACTORS

wary lantern
#

what would be male karen then

earnest prairie
brittle prism
#

Jared

earnest prairie
#

he stepped into the light

wary lantern
#

oh true

#

yeah

#

i can get behind jared as male karen

earnest prairie
#

he stepped out of the cave

neon saffron
#

and was blinded by the light (Bob's unbelievable protagonist aura)

wary lantern
#

interestingly hes the only one to go in and come out with like

#

that much damage

#

bro got sniped by a devil or smth

earnest prairie
split night
wary lantern
#

bobs just goated

split night
#

and mastered all weapon

neon saffron
wary lantern
#

lmaooo

#

random level 15 imp from roots jumped him when he walked in

#

the burns are from it mauling him like an angry squirrel

neon saffron
#

bro tripped in the realm of war and died

brittle prism
#

HE WAS CORPORATE ADJACENT (mining captain)
HE SERVES WAR (corrupted)
HE HAS INTELLIGENCE (he talks)
BAK'AL IS A DEFENSE CONTRACTOR
ALL OTHERS WHO SERVE WAR DO IT BRAINLESSLY BUT BAK'AL PROFITS OFF OF IT
HE CHOSES ONE SIDE AND USES CHAOS AND WAR TO PROFIT!!!

split night
wary lantern
#

lol

split night
#

He's kind hearted but with human morality

wary lantern
#

sadly he was not born yet

brittle prism
#

HE SELLS WEAPONS TO THE DERN BEAST Yahya

earnest prairie
#

gordon ramsey style

wary lantern
#

and tbf the reason he grew up how he did was cuz the corruption stuff

uneven basin
#

I wonder what orphion thought of Bob when he travelled through gavel

gleaming apex
#

Hold on I have something for that

neon saffron
#

do you think bob has access to archetypes?

wary lantern
#

he wouldnt have ended up choosing this epic heroic path if not to help wynn against corruption and stuff

earnest prairie
split night
brittle prism
#

Since he wasn't a paladin

#

SHAMAN

wary lantern
#

..do you mean shaman??

#

lmao there u go

split night
#

xd

wary lantern
#

i still theorize that he learned shamanry on his final mission

#

and didnt tell anyone

#

the whole animal soul thing is ABSOLUTELY a shaman kinda thing

split night
wary lantern
#

the reincarnation

neon saffron
earnest prairie
#

im surprised ngl that with all this lore a few crazy individuals haven't made a animation adaptation of wynncraft

wary lantern
#

Ancient Runic Relik

#

that description is perfect

#

for the other Bob weapon skins

#

idk

split night
wary lantern
#

also why else would there be a ? statue

split night
#

i love aledar

wary lantern
#

thered only be 4 if they meant he really didnt

#

i think Nilrem taught him Shaman during the prep for and the final mission itself

split night
#

i mean if the content team could update the bob quest

#

they would add the 5th class

wary lantern
#

and it doesnt rly clash with his personality cuz theres not only like, evil Killing People shaman

#

even acolyte which is closest is only your own blood and blood already lost from others that doesnt hurt them

#

slykaar was just a fucking evil powerhungry piece of shit vaguely trying to excuse his awfulness, even OotG elaborates that you can even just use plant life even, you dont even need blood/death at all

earnest prairie
split night
wary lantern
#

ye

split night
earnest prairie
#

warrior gives MC vibes

wary lantern
#

i have a really fun idea for a like animated-ish video for fruma ngl

wary lantern
#

like

#

art along with a song style

#

but I CANT DRAWWW RAHHHH

earnest prairie
#

i feel like wynn is old enough to deserve its own small series

#

and it'd be good for establishing canon key lore points

#

butttt

#

money unfortunately exists and passion projects can't operate on 0 dollars sadly

#

and i dont expect a team like this to magically have millions lying around

split night
#

Wynnime

brittle prism
#

an endless field of ads is sure to raise enough to fund something

earnest prairie
#

what would it take for someone like Ludwig or some really famous streamer to suddenly stumble on wynncraft?

neon saffron
#

Bak'al Slander I just made

earnest prairie
#

not like offered to play but go thru the in ternet and be like "hmmm"

neon saffron
earnest prairie
#

lip syncing and movements would definitely be something anyone can pull off

earnest prairie
#

but i guess a rolling ball is a rolling ball

neon saffron
#

but he is like the mmorpg guy

#

most mainstream attention wynn got was an offhand comment from a technoblade video

earnest prairie
#

but anyways, i dont relaly wanna talk about toxic communities and stuff here. but an animation to solidify lore to me is a good idea.

earnest prairie
#

it'd give the writers a reason not to retcon too much too

wary lantern
#

how bad was the lag after that

#

i remember being curious what it meant but not finding the actual name in the video or comments so giving up trying to find it

earnest prairie
#

them and community fans would have an easier time understanding non-canon stuff because the fandom wiki is still visited a lot

neon saffron
#

I think like a lotr intro style animated video would be cool

earnest prairie
#

i can see the title card on the first episode now

neon saffron
#

just like a war video with some narration to get people interested in the lore

#

I wish people were more interested in the lore

earnest prairie
#

pretending its a classic 24-26 minute animation episode, they adapt the tutorial quest and then the ragni king says "Welcome to--[Title Card]"

#

this is TOTALLY not because i watched invincible today

earnest prairie
neon saffron
#

yeah fair, I've been watching Cheg's playthrough of wynncraft and I've been loving how they stop and do all the secret discoveries and discuss the lore as they dicover it and stuff

earnest prairie
#

cheg is nice to watch. i wish MY FRIENDS would play with me

neon saffron
#

same

earnest prairie
#

but they all go "i got bored of it" like bubbers YOU asked me to play with you

#

and they wanted to commit to getting to fruman level

neon saffron
#

I had a friend who got bored of wynn and went back to playing freaking hypixel skyblock

earnest prairie
#

hes after the 3 dollars for making 3 trillion dollars after 30 hours of mining

#

because apparently you can actually make money off of skyblock but its so long i'd rather apply for a second job

neon saffron
#

jesus

earnest prairie
#

yeah but cheg's exploration of lore is cool. also made me realize "wait...were the bad guys..."

#

because 2021 me in didn't really consider it and i was reading every piece of dialogue

neon saffron
#

it is kind of funny how in those early quest you are just a straight menace

earnest prairie
#

good voice actors too

#

i mean we were basically a blank slate who just accepted what they were told

neon saffron
#

im really anticipating the next episode, its my favourite part of the lore

earnest prairie
#

if i remember you dont't really have actual unique options to choose from until you get to Olux

neon saffron
#

the Twain stuff is awesome to me

earnest prairie
#

i mean we killed the orcs bc were told "yeah can u kill these guys"

#

Were like Mantis: "kick names, take ass"
unlike Lari

neon saffron
#

I do think that Lari is overhated

earnest prairie
#

If this community was like JJK's she'd DEFINITELY be slandered as Potential Girl

neon saffron
#

yeah

earnest prairie
#

I think shes a good character. shes just got a bit too much naruto

neon saffron
#

Lari is genuinely understandable, its kind of implied that she thought she was being chosen BECAUSE of her pacifism, not despite it

#

which is part of why shes so resistant to killing

split night
#

and honestly, people saying that her being near killing us out of jealously doesn't make sense is kinda weird to me because like

she spent nearly 900 years trying solve this decay problem and then a random ass human who isn't even from gavel just speedrun all of her progress in under a week xd

#

hell I'd be mad too if I know someone did more work compare to me after I spent 900 years of effort working on it

earnest prairie
#

sometimes the person you need is a person with no brain

still zodiac
brittle prism
#

Elder Prometheus moment

still zodiac
#

Also im never gonna not slander lari after what happened to duluhan

hybrid gazelle
still zodiac
#

Poor fella

hybrid gazelle
#

which tbh nobody does

#

you can pick up some context that Lari believe Orphion want her to be pacifist

#

again we do not know the extact clear information this

#

but it morel ikely from this dialogue alone, Orphion seems to be the reason for Lari's pacifism

#

rather than Lari herself

#

but probably wait for ROL rework

#

ROL talk just sometime tiring because it more focus on the flaw but then again there like

still zodiac
#

Man when i do the quest its underdtandable at first but after the first encounter doesnt work AND U HAVE A FRIEND THAT LEGIT SEES INTO THE FUTURE
And the parasite is stronger. Not killing the parasite makes 0 sense

hybrid gazelle
#

barely anything good to speak about it beside that it's impressive ite ven out due to circumstance

#

We should expect ROL rework to being work on after Fruma release

#

but again this is like

#

could take 4-5 years or more

uneven basin
#

I miss the old rol sometimes

#

Take me back to the heliolux village

hybrid gazelle
#

Never play old ROL so I cant give my opinion on that

brittle prism
#

Same

hybrid gazelle
#

Heliolux kinda return in some capaicty

#

KINDA

still zodiac
uneven basin
#

Big kinda x)

hybrid gazelle
#

I do not want to talk to you man

#

anyway

#

Heliolux is like

#

2.1 kinda brought it back

uneven basin
#

Wait how exactly? I might have missed that one

hybrid gazelle
#

you could count these guys as revisit concept of heliolux

#

I GUESS

uneven basin
#

That's a big kinda x)

hybrid gazelle
#

RROL deserve big rework

uneven basin
#

But I see the vision

hybrid gazelle
#

please god just

#

rework ROL that come with like

#

maybe light forest rework and ROL rework

uneven basin
#

Off topic but One thing I miss is in rol part 1 you had to go around cinfras to find a bunch of mythical stuff (to craft a quest helmet yeah lmao) and I really liked the way it was all brought together, that section of the quest was fun

hybrid gazelle
#

I see

hybrid gazelle
#

again cant really give opinion on this LOL

#

I bet there some merit to old ROL tho

earnest prairie
hybrid gazelle
#

I just think that current ROL we have rn

#

there are skeleton of ideas that can make for a decent story

#

which will likely be fix later on

split night
earnest prairie
#

i think there's little issue with part 1 and 4

#

introductory isn't exactly bad, and ending isn't out of place, but could be a liltle better

hybrid gazelle
#

everything in ROL can be better but yea

#

I thinke the writers so far point out its problem

#

like it seems so far they understand what wrong with the quest

#

so I think it's good hand

split night
#

I think the best part of RoL4 was the lore bomb it drop
i was backflipping 3 times before coming back to play again

#

if they rework it they gotta somehow keep it in but also make it short at the same time? xd

hybrid gazelle
#

oh trust me they wont make it shorter but they likely going to make it more engaging

#

fruma story exposition is whole lot better and feel more organic

#

compare to ROL

split night
#

i hope so

#

are we getting Gavel revamp? xd

earnest prairie
#

im not a beta accesser so i can't say anything about fruma

#

lore*

hybrid gazelle
#

so far from what I see no

#

the thing is that

#

place like Wynn or Gavel are just too big to have hteir own update into revamping everything

#

that why in Wynn they just gradually update as time goes on

#

and why Gavel rn is neglected

earnest prairie
#

it'd have to be roadmapped and wave updates rather than full on patches

hybrid gazelle
#

because they trying to update from early game

#

to mid game

uneven basin
hybrid gazelle
#

Gavel Reborn lore wise did nothing LOL

#

but the update itself did give us raid

split night
hybrid gazelle
#

so like

uneven basin
#

It did SOME things

#

Like with the orcs

#

And the gerts

slim belfry
uneven basin
#

And the colosiii

slim belfry
#

bringing up orcs first

split night
#

xd

earnest prairie
#

If they rework any early to mid game stuff, i'd say they'd definitely revamp House of Twain (yes it'll be a nightmare to re-....code? but it'll be a good outcome)

split night
earnest prairie
#

also give Hashr and Theorick their own custom models and animations (no i do not count theoricks hood as exactly custom model)

uneven basin
split night
#

how did anyone figured it out

uneven basin
#

Also meteor lore in that case

split night
earnest prairie
#

Fallen factory could also be updated to have its own custom models as well for Gates A and B boss and plaster an animated comptuer face for the supercomptuer finally

split night
#

i'd argue he's the best villager in the game

earnest prairie
#

poor girl has been static angry screen the whole time

earnest prairie
#

OR....custom boat

split night
#

What about both

earnest prairie
earnest prairie
split night
earnest prairie
#

Dullahan dungeon when

#

i think dullahan should have been a dungeon actually

split night
#

he straight up giving us money when he found some

#

so xd

uneven basin
split night
uneven basin
#

Hopefully not another raid

earnest prairie
split night
#

dullahan raid??

earnest prairie
#

dullahan raid would be wild if they force us to fight something smaller than the parasite

#

void dungeon would be cool. the void deserves a little more love, but that's probably something that looks long term story thing

#

corruption and stuff is cool and all but it feels like either Dern or the Void is the "Endgame" were leaning towards when you look at most mass fantasy lores from other games

uneven basin
#

I could see the void being expanded for the endgame or some 10X levels

digital swan
#

keep dullahan Locked Up

earnest prairie
#

what could even reprsent the void though? I only know league lore, but they have "The Watchers" as the manifestations

#

what would a wynncraft void represntation be? a black hole?

uneven basin
#

I mean

#

Technically

#

It's TNA

#

Tho it's dern adjacent

earnest prairie
#

speak in words. im stupid and unfortunately don't understand abbreviations

uneven basin
#

The nameless anomaly raid I'm sorry 😭

earnest prairie
#

ah

#

can we really call that real void tho?

#

its more like portals if anything

#

its only called void holes bc its black

uneven basin
#

Well portals through and around the void

#

Tho I just realized there are no such things in the ahms void

earnest prairie
#

the only "portals" are our little submarine things

hybrid gazelle
#

the void in wynncraft is not the void like league

#

it literal NOTHING

#

like nothing as

#

there nothing in there that want to seek destruction for existence

#

it like

#

literally nothing

#

there just nothing there

earnest prairie
#

you say that its like league but the watchers literally exist in the void. hypocritical statement imo but it works still

hybrid gazelle
#

yea hbecause we have evidence

#

of them exist in the void

#

but in wynncraft it's different

earnest prairie
#

mhmhm

hybrid gazelle
#

these two settings are not relate to one another

#

so far only thihng we have in the void

#

is the stuff from sky island

#

that spill over and become its own thing

dim plover
#

Hi I heard void stuff

#

I know some things what’s up

split night
#

we can breath in the void and the void can sustain life beyond natural capacity

#

It's nothing and something as the same time paradoxically

uneven basin
#

wynn's worldbuilding is very soft so I woudn't think too hard about the athmosphere

earnest prairie
#

you underestimate one power though. the agenda

sharp mango
#

agenda? like how bak’al is a bum

whole river
#

There’d be an elf population collapse if they couldn’t age to at least adulthood lol

#

lari doesn’t really act like a child either, real naive yeah but there’s plenty of naive adults

earnest prairie
#

shes like the college girl who got excellent grades and best of her school, went to the biggest university in the world, and then realized shes lowkey not it, then starts doing worse because she thinks shes dumber than her peers

timid oracle
#

Lari wouldn’t have the balls to kill cluckles in the infamous quest cluck cluck. This was the reason the player was chosen to be the pulse

hybrid gazelle
#

so as learning about her power too

#

wiht htis knowledge in mind

#

it very likely that she would not even know the Parasite is otherworldly creature that do not abide by what usually living creatures are

#

which is some sense of self prsevation or survival

earnest prairie
#

“Orphion, i killed this buck-all guy, let me headpat you for 3 hours”

hybrid gazelle
#

so all the problem rooted in Orphion lack of guidance

#

Lari also assume that Orphion want her to be pacifist

#

we dont know the context of this yet

#

but there like some hint of in Fruma updatel ike MINOR hint

earnest prairie
#

its more like she confuses light with mercy

#

borrowing ultron’s words, “ I think you’re confusing peace with quiet”

hybrid gazelle
#

again if we look through ROL 3 dialogue

#

her pacifism stem from believing that pacifism is Orphion's ideal

#

we dont really know what this misconception come from

#

but we know for Orphion play some part in her pacifism

dense python
mossy badge
#

/kill lore 🤔

hybrid gazelle
#

You know damn well what the lore is

violet anvil
#

though ig this like could also be interpreted as orphion telling her to be a pacifist

#

but the end of rol5 implies that either 1. orphion had a change of heart for whatever reason or 2. that wasn't actually the case and orphion is just too much of a tsundere to actually tell lari his feelings straight up

hot timber
#

how is the fact the silent expanse exists not far more common knowledge since airships could probably spot it from above

neon saffron
#

I doubt they fly further than detlas, given theyd have to fly over the roots to get there

violet anvil
#

for all you know in lore there are several tens of kilometres of just mountains before you start to get to the silent expanse

candid cliff
#

yea map is way bigger than ingame

#

and some uests heavily imply it

#

like aldorei secret with canyon section

#

or royal trials, fantastic voyage

#

& more

#

Is the creature from the lexdale witchtrail the same creature from silent expanse

dim plover
vocal rapids
#

Yeah

#

So the lexdale parasite wasn't from the silent expanse?

hybrid gazelle
#

No

#

Not at all

neat tangle
#

is it related to orphion's parasite?

lavish knot
#

I believe so

#

Also Silent Expense is not Dern, which the parasite is actually from

celest falcon
#

Heart of Decay, Dark Forest Ultimate Discovery

earnest prairie

Silent Expanse is like if Dern came over to a nearby painting and put markers all over it. And the Decay is like a sharpie bleeding through the back of the canvas

#

are pretty much offspring of parasite so yeah

full harness

Wynn lore so confusing

true eagle
#

Geek squad over here 📚 📝

hybrid gazelle
#

it only confusing because rn you arel ook at part of quest created from miscommunication from the team

why didnt they change it when they also changed ajf smh

it will be fix when they have itme

that part never did make sense

Do we know if Cerid is still alive?

hybrid gazelle

from waht I heard

split night
#

who is cerid i don't remember

hybrid gazelle
#

one of corkian engineer

split night
#

huh why is my memory of this guy in particular so foggy

hybrid gazelle
#

cause like

#

he mostly exist in background lore

#

and he not that important beside he made facotry

#

and a friend to doctor legendary

split night
#

oh he IS that guy

uneven basin
#

You would assume there'd be a grave or more remembrance for THE engineer

#

or maybe they hate him too much for the factory

cerulean osprey
hybrid gazelle
#

IDK

#

it just

#

corkus lore rn is underdevelop

#

maybe we will get corkus rework update someday

#

out of all the area in the game

#

corkus is the one that is the most feasible in term of getting its own dedicate update

#

Gavel is too big

#

so as Wynn

#

ocean is too

#

funnily enough

split night
#

there bound to be more corkus
cuz like, they adopted a dogun and wanted to expanse their influence over the other provinces as well

hybrid gazelle
#

I dont think they adopted dogun

#

Ineos literally mention how he want to return home after knowing the war is over

#

and no htat just

split night
#

yeah?
