[hearty hedge]

Writing this so I can check on this thread later

[echo quiver]

oo another lore contest

[steady void]

bonloooooo

[glass oyster]

is the item heavens gate named after the 'religious movement' ?

I've never heard the term heavens gate outside of that

[echo quiver]

uhh .
I think it literally just refers to the concept of a gate to heaven

[glass oyster]

well that's most commonly referred to as the pearly gates

but I guess

[echo quiver]

shrug

[cobalt tendon]

its desc should be a bak'al quote from RoL5 that no lvl 40 player will understand

[glass oyster]

smart move

I don't think so

[steady void]

ive never heard pearly gates used ever lmao

however "gates of heaven" dfinitely

[glass oyster]

Whaaat

[winged vine]

"Show your foes towards an afterlife they deserve - or at least condemn them to a gruesome end."
is ts tuff

I ❤️ hyphen clauses and edgy flavor text

[echo quiver]

metaphorical stuff/symbolism is some of my fav stuff to write

[steady void]

Force your commands to be all they care about. Their life is nothing compared to the cause. You know, you- ... you just know. Onwards.

Let your commands be all they can care about. Their life is nothing compared to the cause. You know, you- ... you just know. Don't get distracted now, keep going!

Let your commands be all they can care about. Their life is nothing compared to the cause. Neither is yours. You know that. Ever onwards.

[queen cloud]

3rd one

[late vessel]

For The Scavenged, I did something about some outlaws who were wanting to raid Bob's Tomb, only to be ambushed by wolves and were killed, which the helmet was dropped by one of the bandits, which serves as a warning to raiders

[vapid steppe]

the lorelings

[steady void]

You lore

[vapid steppe]

IN A MINUTE!!!

[drowsy crater]

kinda cookin with the concept but i think the wording is a little bit wonky

[fiery goblet]

I tried tying the cruel sun to nemract's rare sun god mob.
The last trace of power from Ancient Nemract’s false god. unsure if this fits wynncraft's lore writing style much tho 😅

[winged vine]

yeah was meant to be meta with "ooooh the people of wynncraft are starting to realize that they are controlled by us in real life 👻👻" and poke fun at simulation theory

but yeah that sentence is way too long

idk if they would allow for an amended submission

[chilly topaz]

We usually aren't stingey on changes, but we will see when we cross that bridge

[cobalt tendon]

isn't there like an anime called heaven's gate or something similar?

[tall barn]

for Marionette.

Dance. Your body, shackled, pulled by a wire.
Dance. Your will, belongs to them, manipulates you.
Dance. Your soul, entrapped, drifting, distorted by a fate.
Dance, move, dance. Let you perform a greatest-

welp yeah, I cut the wire

[cobalt tendon]

be your own emancipator is actually metal

[winged vine]

Some theorize that our lives are cruelly preordained. We as automatons of flesh and bones strung up together by muscles and tendons - our purposes to act as mere playthings for a higher being (or more). Holders of this belief claim to be "self-aware", though are largely discredited as cases of insanity.

eh probably better

the rambly clause probably adds to the insane conspiracy theorist vibe

[sand sky]

I FUCKING LOVE ITEM LORE

[cobalt tendon]

thats great buddy

[drowsy crater]

Some theorize that our lives are cruelly preordained; that we are automatons of flesh and bone, strung together by muscles and tendons, our sole purpose to act as mere playthings for a higher being. Those who hold such beliefs claim to have achieved a state of "self-awareness", but most consider these to be cases of insanity.

is how i would phrase it

maybe

idk

[winged vine]

actually yeah i like this better

bracket clause was quite on the nose

[compact fox]

i forgor my submissions already

oopy

[winged vine]

id rather it be renamed so as to be unrecognizable as a reference to 7 diddy sins

[sand sky]

Heaven's Gate: Decades ago, this light spear belonged to a disturbed madman who proclaimed having witnessed what came after death. While he would slowly succumb to his own insanity, the strange, newfound holy energy this weapon was emanating remained intact, maybe hinting at what truly lies behind death's door...

[compact fox]

I think rather not allude to a real life tragedy

[winged vine]

huh

what does that reference

[compact fox]

Well uh,

Heaven's Gate

lol

[winged vine]

terry davis?

heaven's gate is something?

[compact fox]

yeah

It was a cult that ended in a mass suicide

[sand sky]

oh

[winged vine]

oh right

[sand sky]

I had no idea that was a thing 😭

[compact fox]

oh

[sand sky]

well tbf it's kinda hard to do a heaven-related thing without talking about death

eh, I'd like for a mod to veto my thing first, just in case it's good

[compact fox]

Does heaven's gate have a meaning beyond the tragedy

I went for a humorous description

along the lines of "yeah if you dont mind the excruciating pain, it's a pretty good item for spellcasting :D"

[winged vine]

what if the corruption spikes... was le alive???

[compact fox]

What if le jelly was le fish

what if le jellyfish was le evil

[winged vine]

although pretty sure corruption spikes being alive would be contradictory to the lore

[sand sky]

I did some research and not particulalry I think?

my thing wasn't related to any profound meaning

[winged vine]

very unfortunate coincidental naming

[compact fox]

apparently heaven's gate is also a 1980 movie

[sand sky]

@drowsy crater is this okay or should I change it based on what jehooft said?

[drowsy crater]

iunno im not the one judging these lol

[sand sky]

oh, my bad

do you know who?

[dense hemlock]

the move is called new sun actually ☝️

[weak roost]

This is my submission for the scavenged ^~^ I hope it wins i put alot of thought into it
-# (for example the scratches are why it takes health, or the fear of mirroring the fate of the person before you causes the major id.)
-# (The text implies that it could have been bob, but never confirms)
Oh! Google armet if you dont know

Buried deep within the snow, it still glistens through the frost. Wolf bites and scratches have marred this Ragni armet’s once-proud surface. Its scars speak of the indomitable resolve of a soldier who fought to the bitter end — haunting you with the question: how soon until you share their fate?

[sand sky]

mine is a similar idea but simpler, since it's more of an early-game gear lol

[weak roost]

whats yours?

[sand sky]

The Scavenged: Found next to an old discarded body half-buried in the snow, this helmet is the only possession that remained intact after a poor soul was mercilessly attacked by a group of wolves.

I wanna add a little thing after but idk what

[weak roost]

Ooooh thats a really good idea

[sand sky]

like there also being a dog?

OH lol

I like the idea, gonna see if I can incorporate that

Cruel Sun: Since the day the Corruption Portal was opened, multiple lava lakes have been seen rising all around the Wynn province. One day, an intrepid blacksmith would extract some of it to create this searing relik, capable of burning down to a crisp anyone unfortunate enough to be within its vicinity.

The Scavenged: Found next to an old discarded body half-buried in the snow, this helmet is the only possession that remained intact after a poor soul was mercilessly attacked by a group of wolves. While macabre, these assaults are all too common in these parts of the Neesak forest, the bodies being retrieved only after any mean of recognition vanished alongside the assailants.

[compact fox]

does anyone have a link to the last lore event winner

[dense hemlock]

it's a forum post I think

[compact fox]

im not asking where it is im asking f or the link!!!!

[weak roost]

Its okay have a lemon

[compact fox]

fyi im not making lemonade with them

I don't want your damn lemons

[weak roost]

:(

[compact fox]

[weak roost]

[weak roost]

[winged vine]

#1437444052332318791 message

@drowsy crater ill credit you yea 😎

[weak roost]

At the end of like the poetically haunting lore it just says “shoutout sockmower hell yea!”

[weak roost]

Wanna see mine?

[winged vine]

already did its cool

the scavenged one atleast

[weak roost]

i only did that one

[compact fox]

new item called Mowing Socks in honor of

[sand sky]

Heaven's Gate (another version): What are you going to say when judgement time arrives? All of those lives taken by your hands, was it truly for the greater good, or was it nothing more than a cruel game of fate? You know, maybe there is still time to repent...

in case the first one is vetoed

or if I prefer that one, idk

[peak urchin]

my submission for cruel sun will be 'A reckoning will not be postponed indefinitely.' does that fit the theme? i can't view the website properly on mobile or PC

maybe i'll also submit 'Here is a vision of the world as it will be: red flowers growing in scorched earth under a sun all too red and low.'

[sand sky]

the rule is one submission per item tho, you have to choose one

[devout talon]

https://youtu.be/4YFjZIw9g38
Cruel Sun

lotta the OG reliks were written after lyrics or musical references- Cruel Sun was one of them

[winged vine]

well ill be

i am glad to be wrong

[devout talon]

itd be cool if this could somehow be implemented in. id always had vague inklings for what lore to give it but i never got around to it before i left IMs

and i figure CT making a submission would kinda be cheating

[dense hemlock]

waow

[odd snow]

"It is not a matter of if the Corruption will cross the Ocean. It is a matter of when. The Corruption has already begun the first steps to domination. The life will be consumed and twisted. Then, the lands below will be scorched. The seas will run red with fire."
cnidarian hellspawn

[dense hemlock]

go ahead I don't really mind

[devout talon]

nah it's already out of my hands

im not gonna interrupt somethin that's already in progress

[dense hemlock]

I mean like if u want to make a submission

[vapid steppe]

tou Did make a submission for obsolescent panoply last time
or I think he said he did

[pliant pond]

joe has made 2 already this time

and these mfs better not be biased bc one of them is a heater

shoulda subbed anonymously but i did not think of that until too late 💔

[tall barn]

got noticed that trance has a very similar lore with some prototypes for my marionette lore I've submitted

-# I was a bit cautious when I made a final decision

[proven gazelle]

"When the air blows through with a brisk attack, the reptile tail ripped from its back. When the sun sets, we will not forget the red sun over paradise..."
Cruel Sun

[proven gazelle]

You beat me to it.

-# Probably a joke, but hot and slow should be switched

[wet fulcrum]

here's a funny for Marionette:
A simple puppet created and controlled in the hands of a puppeteer. A puppet meant to entertain an audience, but holds a dark secret within its very strings. A secret hidden within the threads that might just... that might just be the very strings that destiny plays around with.
here's a funny for Cruel Sun:
A relik that holds a shiny red ruby in its center. A ruby that emits the blistering heat of a summer sun. A heat that to most... feels unbearable. Unbearable to the point that when you look at the sun itself, it almost seems like its cruelly laughing at your exhaustion.
Here's a funny for the Scavenged:
A explorer's helmet found from a corpse mutilated by the ferocity of the Nesaak wolves. As you wear the worn piece of armor, you feel a strange sensation that you can't seem to get rid of. A sensation that makes you feel like your being chased by something... or someone?

[quasi quest]

Mine for marionette:
It will let you play the role of puppeteer, but make no mistake, you're the one being pulled by the strings.

might not be exact as I submitted before seeing this channel

[zinc heron]

my marionette one:
Step into darkness, move by its demand! Rebel if you want, you won't force its hand! Your vitality drains as you quiver. You lose motility as you feel a shiver. A lone voice echoes as you enter a trance. "Dance, soldier, dance!"
notes:

• "Step into darkness," - marionette obtained from se lr
• "move by its demand! Rebel if you want, you won't force its hand!" - you are now just a puppet
• "Your vitality drains as you quiver." - -hp
• "You lose motility as you feel a shiver." - -ws
• the tone is meant to feel a tad childish with the rhyming and what marionettes are often used as (stuff to entertain children), along with insane to suit dern

[craggy crown]

what are the odds people steal ideas and post them for theirselves here

[zinc heron]

cnidarian hellspawn:
It goes with the waves of war. Its calmness envelops its wearer in brutality. It stings your mind with serenity. Do not think. Carry on its course with the tides of strife.

notes:

• references the general movement of jellyfish
• generally seen as calm and serene creatures, but evidently comes from the realm of war.
• stinging references cnidocytes, a common trait amongst all cnidarians (cells that sting when touched)
• cnidarians are too simple to think, and instead only drift on in the ocean

[modern harbor]

we are so back

[modern harbor]

this is so fire wtf

[odd snow]

all of these are fire
ngl all of these deserve to win
but alas, only one for each item shall prevail

[pliant pond]

it’s cool seeing what people come up with for the items i made

well ok marionette is kinda straightforward but scavenged is all over the place

[steady void]

Benevolent moon sounds very funny as a word combo

Marionette is v cool here

There exists a species of monsters in the expanse, that forcefully control their lesser kin. You have taken parts of their bodies to make use of their powers; once through a weapon; it has fused with your body, a terrifying symbiote.

[craggy crown]

ay thanks

[odd snow]

its very interesting seeing how everyone takes the item lore in different directions

[steady void]

Heavens Gate
An elf that defied isolation, onr who lived in the wild and cared for nature. Some people who spoke to her spread stories of a place called heaven; a place of truth and of justice and a place of brilliant light.

[compact fox]

My lore for scavenged is a poem

The scavenged is my baby, it magically appeared when I asked for a low level tfa item

If I somehow win the lore contest it would be full circle for me

[vapid steppe]

scavenged. it's a cool item.
not a traditional tfa item but I can't expect that of low level stuff.

it's cool. and the major is semi useful at low level. which is cool.

[steady void]

Zom

.

[vapid steppe]

what did she mean by this

[compact fox]

I think this was before scavenged

He could have meant Scavenged

But it could also have been for blunt force or titano lol

Even tho those came out a good bit later

@pliant pond wanna clarify ?

[pliant pond]

def wasnt titano and not bforce either i think

idr the timeline on scavenged

[compact fox]

How many other tfa and or efa items did you make in 2024

[pliant pond]

the better question is how many times did i say things like bet without intending to do anything in 2024

[dense hemlock]

august 2024 roughly

was made

so yes

[compact fox]

That would be evil, so , never?

[pliant pond]

i be lyin for the culture doe

but yea this likely was what spawned scavenged

im fairly sure no for bforce tho

and 100% sure no for titano

[steady void]

Zoom
.

[compact fox]

Crazy that it’s already been well over a year since 2.1

[dense hemlock]

titano was just me for the most part

joe just added raw fire and hpr

[pliant pond]

yar

i wouldnt take that credit even

its a bongus item

everyone always be suggestin

i shrimply made the other 6 tcc armors

[steady void]

Shoulda made them op too smh

There exists a species of monsters in the depths of the expanse, that forcefully control their lesser kin. You have taken parts of their bodies to make use of their powers; once through a weapon, it is now a part of your body; a terrifying symbiote.

There exists a species of monsters in the depths of the expanse, that forcefully control their lesser kin. You have taken parts of their bodies to make use of their powers; once through a weapon, it is now a part of your body; a terrifying symbiote.

Remains of a beast of the dark, that possessed the ability to dominate its kin. You took them; and they took you. A part of your mind for a part of its powers. You form a terrifying symbiote.

[pliant pond]

hey like 1 and three halves are good

[steady void]

Cannonade & windborne?

Hmm

Surely cruel sun can work as an fl judgement reference

At the center of it all, sits a star. Some worship it for its benevolence - giving life to all. But is this worship grateful, or soawned from fear of what might happen if we displeased this god.

[pliant pond]

cannonade + resolution windborne insignia get half credit

[steady void]

Ohh

[pliant pond]

maybe 0.25 credit for antebelleum

[steady void]

Reading

[pliant pond]

do i drop my marionette lore

[steady void]

Noway ante is more used than mw

[steady void]

The fans call for it

[pliant pond]

mazeweaver is like actually not used

whereas ante is like mostly not used

Marionette
Complete, unwavering control. The strings you hold, as if threads from the tapestry of fate, are for those who will dance to your tune, and die by it too. It makes you wonder though, just who holds yours?

[compact fox]

I'm surprised by how many people really hone in on the puppetry aspect of Marionette

When Summoner's whole thing is puppets

[compact fox]

Does Marionette have theming for this idea that you are the one being puppeted?

Mine was not that great I think, but it kinda explained why Marionette is EWF

And about the exploding

[sand sky]

mfw the puppet has puppet-related lore

[modern harbor]

ok heres what i have so far

Marionette: They dance, and die, at your desires. The most useful soldiers are those whose strings of life can be severed in an instant to serve a higher purpose. That power rests at your fingertips, but at some point you will have to confront the truth that you play god with your tools just as Bak’al plays with his, and nobody stopped you to ensure you were qualified.

Heaven’s Gate: With this, death is yours to administer. You wield the power to send your foes to their eternity—and in so doing, you take up the burden of determining who among your enemies truly deserves that fate.
[this is my weakest one right now i think. kinda hard to come up with a cool concept when rol is like 10 levels away and heaven as a concept doesnt really(?) exist otherwise ingame. and also the suicide cult thing. weird item overall]

The Scavenged: The life of an intrepid explorer is by its nature at odds with the life of a collector. The traveller walks into the ever-ephemeral present with no time or space for anything beyond what fits in the bag on their shoulders. You may have found this relic, you may even come to love it, but someday you will be forced to move past it and let it be found by another on the same path.

Cruel Sun: There exists only one light by which to see, and no matter where you look, the shadows stretch away from it. You cannot deny that the sun rules this land, and so the best you can do is act as its regent. Push back the darkness, and leave behind only your image.
[this is only ok i think. requires some rumination]

---

also ive written 2 versions for cnidarian hellspawn and im not happy with either yet but here they are:
#1: In the first stage, the subject experiences rapid collapse of mental function. Corruption is by nature antithetical to reason and cognition, and as a jellyfish lives with no true brain, functioning only as a set of base instincts, so too does the subject. This continues until you are nothing. You are death. You are and you will expand and it must grow. The subject mindlessly seeks out life and destroys consumes corrupts corrupts corrupts it all will be cinders and ash.

#2: Corruption does not fear. Corruption does not question. Corruption is to this land as the jellyfish is to its sea—a monster with no brain and no heart whose only interface with the world is the ability to kill. Corruption will take a person and twist them upon themselves until they are nothing but a set of base instincts urging them to spread.

[narrow tusk]

my lore be upon thee

[narrow tusk]

oh i LOVE that second one

most of mine arent that great i dont think but im happy with em nonetheless

FUCK i made a mistype in the scavenged

i meant to say Wynn's northwestern shore* adljgdsklgsj

damnit welp

i dont think theres any way to edit my response lmao

[sand sky]

just so you know, the scavenged can only be obtained through the canine ambush world event

[narrow tusk]

what the fuck god damnit

ok sure

it said never on the site

so i assumed it was just random

[sand sky]

also, cruel sun cannot be looted in the almuj desert (at least if chest levels and mob levels are the same, idk the exact thing 🥴)

[narrow tusk]

WHY DOES IT FUCKING LIE WHAT

[sand sky]

yeah it's stupid

[narrow tusk]

its lv almuj

i hate this

[sand sky]

from the wiki

[narrow tusk]

??????

doesnt this include some

i forget almuj lvl

[sand sky]

arent almuj desert mobs level 30 or more?

[narrow tusk]

i thoguht some were like high 20s agfsklgjskhasd

i havent done a char in ages tbf

[sand sky]

man

[narrow tusk]

at least not too much

god damnit

of fucking course it just lies to me

im still used to back when items were like

literally all just mob/chests of that level minus like sets

[sand sky]

I could be wrong on that one tho

[narrow tusk]

i didnt even know items were exclusive to we's

besides like

the sets (pulling) and anni myths

i mean rymek is sorta almuj-ey and is that level maybe theres still a tiny chance

idk who am i kidding

adlgjkshsjdgh

[vapid steppe]

desert is mainly 30-40

cruel sun is closer to nemract

[compact fox]

I like the first 3 a lot

The Scavenged lore doesn't reall fit the item at all

Since it's a nesaak world event drop

[compact fox]

yeah this is nemract/selchar level

so almuj lore doesn't quite make sense for it

[steady void]

There a groups of people worshipping the sun, the truest giver of life.
But are they thankful for its benevolence, or afraid that should it be displeased, it might be the end of us all.

You took the remains of a beast that ruled like a cruel tyrant. You took them, and they took you; their powers for a piece of your mind.

[winged vine]

cruel sun submission

Aged boatmen would warn novices to not take the Sun for granted. For while the light nurtures life, reckless sailors would often experience skin burn and vision loss. An old seafarer's tale often told: a red sun that lights a morning is a sign for an oncoming catastrophe. 

based on a historical sailor superstition cuz its a nemract item "Red Sky at night, Sailors delight; Red Sky in the morning, Sailors take warning."

also sailors get sunburnt back in the days and now and looking at the sun blinds you lol!

[compact fox]

There are many strange artifacts to be found in Time Valley, hailing from times long passed. This construct, however, is said to be from an impossibly distant future: a place of death and a time of scalding finality, as all things living have been turned ash and dust by a creator gone mad.

[zinc heron]

draft(?) of cruel sun:
Old seafarers of Wynn fervently worshipped the sun. Despite this, their voyages were always across dark, cloudy skies. When their great city fell to the Corruption, it was only then their god revealed himself- smiling at their destruction.

notes:

• sun effigy mob in ancient nemract aligns perfectly with the item's level

[pliant pond]

4th wall break (you the irl player control you the wynn character)

[compact fox]

exploding head

my tf2 character is a marionette

because i make it explode at random moments for my own amusement

[vapid steppe]

[pliant pond]

doxx speedrun

[winged vine]

Boy this aint KinitoPET 😭😂✌️

Or Broken Script

Or Various other Analogslop

[weak roost]

Did i cook?
-# polyps are stationary cnidarians btw (coral and anemonies) where medusa are feee roaming (jellyfish)

[odd snow]

i like the differences in cnidarian hellspawn
some are taking it to the ocean
some to the portal/realm of war
others the parts of a cnidarian

[onyx hatch]

For this contest will I be credited if my submission is used?

[dense hemlock]

ya

[onyx hatch]

Oo nice

[zinc heron]

If you don’t want to be put in trivia then you won’t be

[silent vigil]

Heaven's Gate: "Those who be consigned to the oblivion laid behind The Gate, only penitence for thy sin is freedom granted"

I'm trying to reference MagnaAngemon's attack from Digimon with this description, because it's signature move is also called Heaven's Gate

[peak urchin]

my submission for Marionette: "Ugly little thing, threadbare, wound up in hair. Open its mouth. Let it speak to you."

Heaven's Gate: "Here is the key, the lock, the door. Turn it and see the other side. Weep."

Cnidarian Hellspawn: "Shimmering toxin-drip veil. Red tendrils like arteries in the day. Dead as diamonds."

[compact fox]

What do people think of this as cruelsun lore btw

[narrow tusk]

i wanted to make mine based off this but liked how my little rhyming chant felt too much i should write one for that anyways

[royal charm]

Cnidarian Hellspawn
The Nether is a burning abyss of hate that nothing good can escape from. But to harness its power for the good? Surely it is a right thing to do.

Marionette
To be a puppet is to be free from the burdens of the world. You don’t have to worry about morals or shame or anything at all. Let go of control and taste the true freedom of servitude.

Heaven's Gate
The legend tells that this trident was a gift from above sent to deliver lost into the embrace of heaven. The tale should have specified that death would be that path.

The Scavenged
Life in the tundra is a fight for survival. You got to always look for yourself. Be on the vigil for danger or end up scavenged by beasts like the owner of this helmet.

Cruel Sun
Life in the desert is cruel and unforgiving. Nothing can escape the sun’s deadly rays. But what if you could channel that force and scald the land in hellfire?

[neon pumice]

Marionette:
No mind to think, only your master's commands. No will to break, only your steadfast focus. No voice to cry suffering, only your purpose be fulfilled. Without my hand guiding your strings, you are nothing.

yes

i took a bit of inspiration from hollow knight

i can change it if it's too infringing

i tried my best to not directly copy the quote by adding the extra bits in between

[odd snow]

i wonder where everyone got their inspirations for marionette
it seems the most varied by far

at least how its worded

scavenged is varied by concept/idea

[odd snow]

is 4th wall break next

some eldritch entity asking why they should consider the human controlling the player controlling the puppets

[neon pumice]

I don't think item lore can have personalized articles like player names

[royal charm]

That would be really cool though.

[neon pumice]

it would

[fresh fossil]

Idea for marionette:

Once a Skyseer’s conduit to the stars, now a stage for unseen hands. The puppets dance, and so does their master.

It implies its actual ability and Shaman's playstyle, I think it's pretty cool

[narrow tusk]

imagine if contest winners got like a custom item like way back with the old trivia hat thing and stuff

[glass oyster]

Imagine

[river garnet]

i took the 3

"Static yet floating entities may come from the portal. There is no sign of intelligence, yet they can achieve advanced magic. Does it have any logic?"

i also took into consideration the elements and ids of the item

i also did a submission on heavens gate "The sinners seek it, the prophets deceive with it, the faithful forget about it."

i have my own headcannon that the ocean bottom is influenced by the portal

and the hottests parts (hydrothermal vents) are an ecological niche for some portal aquatic life

[odd snow]

thats cool

[onyx hatch]

Its very interesting but I dont think wynncrafts fictional lore involves planets and the unit of miles

[onyx hatch]

Fire

[peak urchin]

wynncraft has aliens in it

in fact it has several species of alien

planets are canon to wynncraft

space. is also canon to wynncraft

[steady void]

wybels and cowbluds, and possibly weirds?

[peak urchin]

weirds are. cosmic nonsense

which means they're aliens. it's right there in the name. Cosmic Nonsense

they're from the Cosmic.

[steady void]

are they from the cosmic

or just caused b the meteors

thatd be different

kinda

like is it bc meteor interacts with plant or smth or is it bc meteor has weirds onboard

[peak urchin]

meteors is cosmic

cosmic energy

weirds are cosmic energy elementals

cosmic meteor come from space

[onyx hatch]

I hope I win :D

[narrow tusk]

iirc last time was like a week after closing

[chilly topaz]

It can take a bit

[narrow tusk]

yee

[craggy crown]

ah I see ok

[zinc heron]

how many entries were there

since this got announced on wynncord id imagine therell be a lot

[narrow tusk]

are any mods here rn

i just changed my discord name slightly and realized only after that the contest was using it and cant undo it fkljsglksjhds

is there any way i can have that updated augh

i just added an s, ashdew_derg > ashdew_dergs

[glass oyster]

a few days later they said 🥲

[chilly topaz]

I will post the results this weekend

[glass oyster]

[narrow tusk]

ik its unlikely but im worried asdfghjkl on the offchance that i end up winning is it gonna be an issue that i changed my discord username after or nah xd

the username is still on cooldown so i cant yoink it with my alt yet xd

[chilly topaz]

No worries

[narrow tusk]

oki

[zinc heron]

Out of curiosity, Can you say how many entries there were

[chilly topaz]

Many 😂

[zinc heron]

Neat

Honestly think I got a solid shot at one of them

Hopefully I’ll get a streak going

[chilly topaz]

You’ll see when the results get posted but there were a lot of good entries

[narrow tusk]

gg everyone :DDD

[steady void]

@zealous steeple whys there a comma in the second snetence?

it feels off since its essentially the same grammatical structure

if the go was missing in second sentence id understand i think but this way....

grarg

also i dont think i quit eget the ticks in the marionette lore, is tha tclockwork?

i assume its talking abt you bombing the actors

[narrow tusk]

ohhhh the ticking of a timebomb is probably it yeah

i was envisioning it being like the time passing as the speaker readied to do the explosion but that makes more sense

[narrow tusk]

also i thought that was a dramatic break for emphasis idk

[winged vine]

wait that marionette lore is goated

[steady void]

might be but it just feels off to me 😭

guess that does work for empathis tho lmao

as in, being unexpected

[narrow tusk]

fair idk i liked it lol

the way my brain processes breaks is like

, is a quick pause for emphasis, - is a longer sharper one, . is a heavyone, ... is drawn out

ofc it varies on situation like most of english but lol

idk thats also just me

[steady void]

unacceptable

you will be assimialted into the hive

to match my pattern of thought

[narrow tusk]

x3

[steady void]

cuteness in th face of death. impeccable

[narrow tusk]

hehehe

:3

[wild ingot]

ayy my cruel sun got in

didn’t expect that but I’ll take it

[zealous steeple]

Yea this

Idk I just like it

No linguistics expert

And it sorta reads like
“Normally this happens. And in this case, another thing happens”

So the comma just felt natural to me

[narrow tusk]

ye

[zealous steeple]

If there’s no comma there the sentence just feels like it flies by

And there’s no, wait what?

[royal charm]

I wish more items had an actual lore rather than something that sounds like excerpts from poems. I'd rather it be like Dark Souls lore items. Or the old Calamity lore items. Or Blasphemous item descriptions.

[rare mountain]

somewhat agree i like lore that ties into the world directly

[narrow tusk]

thats what i was thinking for my Cryoseism one that ended up winning yea

the heavens gate one does have a bit about some efilim elves beliefs too

i like poem lores too i dont mind em but yea it is fun when they tie in to the world

am glad the ones ive gotten in are those :3

also now that a patch came out the lores are ingame right?

ig i can just look lol
