all the currently in-game lore is summarised in the lore doc found in pins
someone PLEASE tell me that post ascension xeroc isn't a freaking worm
So ik that we have a powerscale (Xeroc > Fovos > Noxus >> Yharim = Zeratros > Jared > Calamitas = Exo Mechs). But where do you think Silva would be in all this?
Good news
VERY unlikely
But noxus
silva from what i know isn't exceptional compared to other gods yharim has faced, she just cant die
Might be a giant worm
Maybe the distortion is a giant worm
And ceaseless void is one of its mouth
calamitas = exo mechs > silva
maybe even >> but i doubt it
So Silva is right behind them?
what happens if you eat silva
you die
do you digest her or does her body survive the acid
also you just ate a fucking humanoid
maybe we can use providence as a basis for the strength of a god
is providence ever tiered?
She may not be able to die, but she can get really fucked up
yeah, she got cement shoes'ed and is basically brain dead in the abyss
Crippled

Hey
Is Silva actually brain dead? She influenced the primordial wyrm somehow
Dont be like that
silva:
Yeah I thought so
i think she's mostly just perpetually knocked out
I don't think so
if somethign brought her out of the abyss maybe after a very long period she'd wake back up, but as she is now, effectively, braindead
if yharim threw her to space
half mineral half silva floating in space
I imagine Silva is just in like a deep coma until she returns
yeah, what im sayin
Then she recreates another terrarian world filled with life
then we invade that world
they called us the martians

silva comes back and finds out her champion is stuck in some random fucking place thanks to some bitch ass worm
nowhere is safe from the player
Yharim beat Silva into a coma
would be cool if we could break him out but likely not
but it might be unlikely we have the option to take him home as a townie, as neat as it'd be
Champion of the life goddess am going to beat his ass
Pretty sure the devs said smth about his npc not being a permanent one (like a travelling merchant)
i thought they said that about statis, not braelor
thats statis

aido is within all of us...
you guys think when yharim boss fight is done when we find him, he's going to go on some lore speech or will he just go skyrim ebony warrior and immediately begin shooting us without even a word
that would be funny, you walk in and the mf locks in
He'll not attack unprovoked
idk if he's ever NOT locked in
when fighting the dynamic duo
He was motivated
#yamotoforcalamitymod
we already have the masamune as an overpowered reference sword so WHY NOT ANOTHER?!
(this is a joke
normally likely not
you can put normal souls into the mechs
but mf draedon would likely find a way to
As seen with the trio mech
you probably can assuming auric souls funcition the same as normal ones, just connected to the world soul
what IS the world soul btw?
idk
Soul of the planet
something like that
basically the domain expands to the whole planet itself
Yes ik Statis is confirmed that but I'm pretty sure I heard that Braelor MIGHT be a wondering npc.
hope yharim goes like "you're not here to hear me monologue, are you?" and waits for the fight to start
Statis is the wandering npc, and braelor is trapped in the distortion
Our battle shall be legendary!

The diffence is Braelor MIGHT be one, but we know Statis WILL be one
Im pretty sure he will be, yk since he is a big part of lore and all

I mean lore wise, it could make sense why Braelor doesn't live with us since he is in love with Statis, so why wouldn't he go on his way to be with Statis.
didnt statis worship slime god at one point
yes
imagine talking to statis and hes like "so you killed slime god, that kinda sucks but whatever"
no one knows
Him and his clan "The Onyx Kinsmen" are confirmed to have worshiped both Slime God and Signus.
maybe statis will tell us once he's added
signus was not worshipped
theres no way he doesnt have a bunch of lore dialogue
That deal was doing Signus chores

Hence why hes trapped in Distortion
Bro became a butler
Outer Dimendional Ninja Butler
An aberration that defies all explanation, borne of the Distortion and revered by the Onyx Kinsmen.
Quote from Yharim
huh
right
He was revered
I love how for storm weaver we now have, "he is similar to DoG" and "No he is not similar to DoG"
Yharim and draedon about to have a heated argument over a worm
Yharim : same worm
Draedon : nuh uh
The only confirmed beings that the Onxys Kinsmen revered is Signus and slime god, though there's maybe more.
insert the draedon gif telling you he cannot assist your further in getting bitches
cant wait for statis to show up and then he just doesnt share his lroe to troll the player!
"stop asking me about that shit are you going to buy my spelunker glowstick or not"
If he doesn't, he's about to have Yharim ptsd and meet the same fate as his clan did
So.. consedring they nearly killed Yharim, How strong are statis and braelor?
if a god calls you their champion that's gotta mean SOMETHING
Yharim gotta stay in the aeire or hes finished!!
what if Statis and Braelor killed Yharim
it was a 2v1 and they made it seem like braelor and statis did struggle, so i'd say
its safe to assume
exo mechs and calamitas > braelor or statis
thats also a weak yharim
well, the game wouldn't have a proper ending silly
one with no exo technology
you beat scal and exos and just statis appears and is liek "yharim is dead"
roll credits
Exo Technomancer
i'd assume the events would be mostly the same, just no yharon fight and the player is like
heavily fucking confused
on his way
braelor might be a boss fight
if he sees us just wiping bosses
he would be like
Braelor is def the stronger of the two and they probably would have actually won if Statis didn't hesitate when Braelor and Yharim's blades were locked and DoG didnt intrude.
"got to stop this"
I feel like braelor might not care
after all
the player seems to have no beef with silva
How heavy is Yharim in armor
plus most of the bosses tried to kill us
Poor Aquatic Scourge...
oh
if yharim was dead i dont think the terrarian would be killing a fuck ton of things
thats headcanon territory, its assuming the terrarain headcanon of urs motivation depends on yharim
im assuming thats not the case
fair
and the player did it for another reason
Hypothetically, most of the events wouldn't have changed much since in the lore doc, it says that the battle between Braelor and Statis vs Yharim happened several months before the Terrarian comes in.
ye
its just depends if ur headcanon
for the terrarain
motivation depends on yharim being alive
or not
if it does, then the terrarain wouldnt commit mass genocide
well
in self defense
the terrarian seeing a random ass worm in a polluted ocean (their gonna use a little stabby sword to kill it in seconds, [why the fuck is submarine shocker so fucking op])
- "Yharim’s armor was upgraded less than a year before the start of the game, and Braelor and Statis made their fateful assassination attempt only a few months before that." Quote from the person who made the lore doc idk who
So if Yharim would have died then, not much would have changed I believe, the damage was already done.
If we kill Yharim what does that accomplish us
Depends on headcanon, my headcanon is that the Terrarian is a force of justice and the Terrarian is on its way to kill Yharim for his many war crimes.

Uhh nigh infinite power
Superman
Though a logical reason would be because it's implied that the Terrarians goal since the beginning.
Well its up to you
If you wanna kill yharim for justice or kill him for shits and giggles
Ya its up to headcanon
the terrairan slaughtering hundreds because yharim stole their grilled cheese
Justified
A very cool relic, a treasure bag, a trophy, and probably some health potions and hearts 
Oh I never knew they had different bags
Yharim’s would be Treasure Jar (of pickles)
Yharim drops a treasure key that unlocks his personal armory
auric lootbox
a fleshy construct made by mages from azafure to contain god essence
whats azafure and what godly essence
azafure is the city that became the brimstone crag
oop
god essence is what is left of a god afted they die
I dont think I got to the brimstone stuff yet
oh damn
since they try to cling onto life and spread
was incinerated during calamitas and brimstone elementals fight
WoF contains godly essence and im going to assume some of it clings to the terrarian and thats why (in lore) the mechs go after you
oh damn
the god stank
skeletron prime is my favorite war criminal
war criminal(s)
well thta's a lie gregor is my favorite war criminal but ignore that
the lore for meteor heads is actually very deep
it goes:
they are heads
meteor
Probably just semi sentient chunks of meteor
maybe mana from the meteor gives them this sentience
Is Yharim even a human
(pretty sure Yharim is human, but tbf it's not a 100% chance)
Dunno about Cultist, though
i mean he looks human
dryads also look human tho but like
there is no way yharim's a dryad
Kinda doubt the cultist is a Lihzahrd, at least
That's why they said "there is no way yharim's a dryad"
im dumb as fuck 
yharim is probably a human, what else could he be
what other sapient species there is
the fish people, but yharim is certainly not one of them, and he also does not have fucking fins
Ilmerans, Lihzahrds, maybe more
hes racist against the lihzahrds
i doubt he would be an ilmeran
There are other things (like Gods or Eidolists, which I assume are sapient), but those ones are kind of outliers and not species
he cannot be an ilmeran, he does not have fins
i mean he got someone to incinerate the place so..
he has legs
they are jacked too
he does not have a physique of a ilmeran
he also like... really despises lihzahrds but that could be a self racism moment
he just really hates his people
lunatic cultist is a guy who really love dragons
is there a race that does that
the dragon cult.. the cult we know nothing about
well... most of em are dead so...
is the dragon cult the equivlant to like vegans in their world
"do not kill the dragons, they have lives too you know"
Ig it's not 100% implausible that the Cultists are something like Eidolists, where they're not 100% what they originally were, but tbh I kinda doubt it
They used to be
here's their bestiary entry: "Once members of the dragon cult, they now beg the favor of a new master. They are able to live in the abyss indefinitely thanks to their wyrm-like form, allowing them to serve a new purpose."
that silvaibles hit hard
"of a new master"... silva?
i'd assume PW
i doubt PW
wyrms
PW cares more about protecting the terminus and throwing hands with xeroc (PW would lose)
ye but i dont think worshippers care
Pretty sure it's supposed to be the Eidolon Wyrms. You know, the thing they're named after.
i mean that could be it
i also dont think PW is sapient to actually say
"yo guys, i dont want ur dumbass service, leave"
Not sure how your gonna be listening to.... wyrms that just make sounds
Iirc the Wyrms are relatives of dragons
yes
very cool
so why would they start worshipping them over the dragons
well all the dragons are gone (excluding yharon but... i dont think they really know)
because there is no other dragon
c:
if ur madly inlove with worshipping this goddess, but she just disappears and leaves in her place, her child, wouldnt u worship that child instead?
There are other dragons around, though (like Fishrons), but they're probably too rare
aggressive actually
both dragonfollies and fishrons
are aggressive
wyrms are the only ones that arent
that could explain it
ye
thats only pw
does pw hate zeratros or xeroc
xeroc
it dislikes any signs of usupred light
which zeratros controlled
wyrm wasnt there when
xeroc consumed the auric soul
how does it know
wyrm wasnt blessed then
silva blessed PW
pw was alive during the ascension
That might be old lore
nope
offshoots came about in the middle of the draconic era, xeroc marked the end of it
this is new lore
The first Wyrm, blessed by the Goddess of Life, held staggering power that surpassed nearly all of its auric brethren. It held a deep hatred for any sign of usurped light, and would have attempted to strike down even the wielder of Primordial Light had they returned to reclaim their artifact. And yet, despite its immense power, it never would have stood a chance."
so it was actually alive when xeroc ascended
Double checked, you are correct
yes
but it still decided to side with another god
either PW doesnt know, had special connection to zeratros, or the way silva ascended wasnt fucked
What in the devourer's biology allows it to fly?
I know there are several flying worm bosses, but what about bosses like DoG and Storm Weaver in particular
They seem to be outliers from the native life on terraria, and could possibly even be related to crawltipedes
Probably something something space/gravity distortion
Doesnt DoG apply extreme gravity (even tho it may just be gameplay)
I now realise distortion may not have been the best choice of word 
i mean
Though I wonder what allows DoG to do this, because I don't think he knows much about how to use magic since he's a worm

they're glurpzoids from the greezlingian dimension
it makes sense they'd do some weird incomprehensible shenanigans
honestly i doubt its anything biological
Technology?
trying to explain the devourer or anything from the distortion really with earthly biology and laws is probably gonna lead to nothing
Nah that wouldnt make sense really
Dude once the full devourer design becomes public I need an official anatomy drawing for them
He wouldve come to terraria and kinda just dropped wouldnt he
Like a cross section of DoG
Devourer, Storm Weaver and everything inbeetween comes from a unknowable realm that Draedon himself dosen't understand
There's no point in trying to get a reasonable explanation for things like it
Yeah
I heard that draedon has a lab there I think
He has explored it briefly
That's about it
the little he found out was that the creatures in there have ''biology" that is completely unlike anything on earth and makes no sense
and
that something in there was threatening enough to the point draedon just gave up research on it entirely
you gotta be pretty scary to scare the literal apathic robot

awaawawavjkndfs.,.
the owner of the lore doc has intentionally never been a part of the dev team
also wdym 
wait shes the first dryad?
yuh
so shes the first dryad, the elemental of life
and the goddess of life
she has too many titles man
silva collecting titles like motherfucking uhh general ultimax
You guys were talking about the Braelor & Statis vs Yharim fight earlier
Here’s what Stip had to say about it when I asked him
Ant man and the wasp vs bee guy
Exactly
Here’s my question - what sort of lore significance does Providence’s connection to the hallow have? Or is that just a holdover from old lore? I vaguely recall something about a planned sub world
Makes sense
its a holdover
Hm. Here’s another one - who built the stuff in the vernal pass? I have an inkling that this may have been yharim’s original people. There’s obviously yharim’s strange reverence towards queen bees, and there’s that small hive area nearby.
Maybe fond childhood memories?
I don't think it's yharims people, it's probably just some random group of people who are focused on gardening or something like that. It's not really elaborated on much.
Yharim only really shows compassion towards people he has personal connections to. Otherwise he’d just regard the plagued bees as distasteful, not a dealbreaker
Hence my theory
He may no longer be the jungle tyrant, and yharon may no longer be the jungle dragon, but he may yet have STARTED there
Probalby the ppl who made plantera

Would a ploo ever go to a pool?

NO
LMAO
,,,,
music box is the best invention
phlooh
Is there a lore reason why dreadon kinda cute tho?
Woah
it made convincing people easier
It’s pride month

Hiii garbo
That's it!
it's how he attracted yharim's attention
if yharim was out of the equation, would draedon have preferred to study auric souls with yharon alive or dead
it's how he attracted yharim~~'s attention~~
LMAO
Hop on tmod gif
What if Calamitas met the Wizard?
Like the normal wizard. The one with da purple hat.
What is Noxus's purpose?
: )
I heard he was created.
Noxus does Noxus things i think iirc maybe
Would Noxus have killed Yharim?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
wat things do i need to talk about
it definitely COULD kill yharim though
IT!?
aurora spirits and cryons
they have their own entries and would probably fit under "cryonic stuff" as a little side note
fair
When was the last time Draedon and Yharim saw each other?
it's some weird fuckin. Thing i think It pronouns are probably appropriate
As far as we know
when draedon applied exotechnology to yharims armour
braelor is silva's champion and statis is the last onyx kinsmen
So they decided to jump him.
Not so much a good wizard, as a "I'm just gonna do or talk about random things at least vaguely related to magic, also I'm old" wizard
im pretty sure the wizard has dementia or something
Yeah
they exist but most of them are just kinda normal people
Tavernkeep is non cannon because crossover
well yeah
Well are any of Betsy's drops components in weapons?
That'd make old ones army cannon
it wouldnt
but i can check the other thing if the fucking recipe thing would work for me 
nope
Huh, you'd think betsy's wrath at the very least
i wonder how powerful permafrost is
ik he'd never fight us but to be called an archmage means you know a thing or two about magic
if forced into a fight, how strong do you guys think he'd be
Probably around SCal & Draedon
Weak enough for Calamitas to turn his magic against him, strong enough to be a respected guy across the land of Terraria.
Wait. Permafrost is the Archmage dude right?
yes
Si
he appears after you kill cryogen
Okay. Ye.
My thingy does not change.
The closest thing we got to a power scaling is the beast he turned into that went wild.
used to be some advisor to yharim in the lroe, he trained calamitas iirc till he left and yharim eventually ordered calamitas to kill him
calamitas didnt want to so she sealed him into cryogen instead
I think he's above the mechs.
At the very most, Calamitas Clone level.
would be cool to imagine a fight between them
something adept in fire vs something adept in ice
He'd prolly lose for dramatic purposes.
he is an old prune (unless hes one of those folks who extended his lifespan with magic, if those exist in calamity
maybe he was stronger in his prime
In stories, people are usually portrayed as ungodly freaks of nature in their primes opposed to their present selves.
supreme archmage permafrost would be a fun fight
maybe as just a duel to train us or smt
I mean, even in his Prime I don't think he was still at SCal's current level.
I do think he's far more skilled tho.
you know speaking of duels for the sake of training am i the only one who thinks scal shouldnt kill you on refights
well that magic seems rather hard to control with how often it explodes
I like to think of the first fight between you and her as SCal trying to kill you and your just tryna get her to stop by smacking some sense into her.
Later fights are simply spars.
Where she accidentally kills you if you lose-
maybe it's like toriel undertale
not TRYING to kill you, but has an oh shit moment if you die anyways
(in refights i mean
(first time she wants your head on a platter
calamitas doing this expression
"Ow! Why'd you kill me!?"
"I'm so sorry! I...wait...how are you alive?"
"What, you thought I'd stay dead?"
ik terrarian respawning isnt canon but it's funny to imagine how the characters would react if it was
draedon's like "oh cool you're still here, let's try this again"
Devourer would be happy he's found the infinite food glitch
i still have an impossible time reading yharim's thoughts on the player
does he WANT us to kill him so this long mess can finally end or does he just see us as another thing in his way
He seems to be telling us his thoughts on things on our journey.
Maybe he wants to see us rise and wants us both to do battle.
wonder if he'd say something like "given enough time, you might rise to slaying xeroc himself"
buddy the devs said we literally cannot kill him so keep dreaming
I think it'd be funny if xeroc just like becomes a town npc after beating him
i made a joke headcanon that he's just posing as some weird old guy living in the middle of nowhere
"Your a little tough. I think I'll hang around."
Says Xeroc watching you blow up the strongest beings in existence.
He just sells you fucking decoration blocks and two shit weapons
well it's not like you'd NEED op weapons
you already won
i find it hilarious that bestiary says that jared would try to kill xeroc if he ever came to the abyss to get the terminus back
and immediately get obliterated by him
Tbh i dun think perma and cal actually fought
i dont think anything says they actually fought
maybe he just stood there expecting her to finish this
i can imagine permafrost simply standing there with a bittersweet expression on his face
well, as crazy as it was, calamitas plan worked
so he lived on
i like to house them next to eachother with the headcanon that they made up and started vibing again
He's the guy living in the cabin in one of the forest backgrounds
Confirmed
embed fail
he has his own subworld literally just called "the background"
Yoooooo
But when I was like 5 I lost my shit when I saw the house background
Thought there was some wacky Easter egg that would let me get inside
is fovos prime the same as cthulhu mythos? they seem described similar as cosmic horrors that terrorized everything
fovos is not nearly as powerful as cthulhu
although there are similarities, as they are somewhat comparable as "crazy space horrors"
What's fovos?
moon lrod in the past
he sparked everything in calamity
cause he injrued the king of dragons
allowing xeroc to take his soul
he was the catalyst fr
pretty much sums it up
and you all know what happens afterwards
they couldnt kill fovos so they locked him on the moon
he deteriorated over time
and by the present, he's weak enough for terrarian to solo
(according to the most recent dev statement on his power, the current moon lord is at about 30% of his former power)
I mean, i'm pretty sure Endgame endgame Terrarian can beat Fovos. Just narrowly tho.
so, that means a moonlord with about 3.5 times more power (along with not missing his legs) is a rough estimate to fovos parhaps
once again, dev statements
yeah fovos was about a third as strong as xeroc and that motherfucker annihilates everyone
isnt fovos considered more powerful than yharim according to that power scale thing the devs made?
Just read more things
Way stronger.
I think he's stronger than Noxus.
Generally anyway
its directly stated that jared (who is around yharim level) is far, far weaker than xeroc
Can you send that?
yeah
the dragons and other things of that age BARELY escaped with their liveS
and then xeroc did his trolling
yeah gimmie a moment
fovos is 2nd most powerful being in the verse
ok you know what maybe if the world soul was sentient fovos would be bumped to third
:D
used as a source again lets go
is that a bad thing?
no lmao i made that thing
oh cool
I think Terrarian at their best in Calamity scales as the 2nd strongest being in history.
if i thought it was bad i would remake it
well i'd say it makes sense considering what we'rer told of each
noxus' destructive power has exclusively dev statements to go off of...
Alright now who's zeratros?!? How is there this much lore?!?!
king of the dragons, xeroc absorbed him
also the strongest dragon
Dude got b*tched by Fovos.
i headcanon him to be the one who tore off fovos' legs
the king of the dragons, the dragon of primordial light
cal lore is good, surprising
he's looooooooooooooooong dead so dont expect a fight from him
Torch god is strongest got, he can weild the primordial light ez
do i tell him
you guys think that by the end of calamity the terrarian will be 3rdish in the verse?
(xeroc and fovos being first and second
yeah i think terrarian will be 3rd
ig it dependso n how they handle noxus
I think he will be 2nd.
Terrarian will at the very least reach Fovos's level.
like i guess the terrarian stands a chance against xeroc but using purely anecdotal evidence i can basically prove that xeroc will go very easy on you
Unless fabsol themself descends from the heavens and personally tells me "u am wrong" torch god is cannon
This logic is flawed but funny torch weee
...
man im sorry
TECHNICALLY
i've only been told we just can't kill him
maybe we can still kick xeroc's ass enough for him to go "damn you tough":
Nothing says Torch God isn't the strongest.
theres one thing that will
de-canonization
xeroc is so far above noxus it would be a triple greater than symbol on the faq power chart if fovos wasnt in the middle
torch god is the god of light (not primordial light, just light in general)
someone who hates mining in the dark killed the light dragon and became one with the torches
until someoen says otherwise, that's the lore
YES
considering the terrarian is jumping straight from noxus to xeroc, yeah the terrarian has no chance if xeroc wants to do shit
just some annoyed miner pickaxed a fucking dragon to death
Just so their torches would last longer
theres also the fact that the terrarian seems to generally be on good terms with xeroc and yeah im 90% sure he'll go easy on you
yharim couldnt kill torch god cause torch god isn't a physical being
I love the pusheen is trying to do important lore things and we're just fawning over the best God of all
everywhere there is a torch, he's there
torch god is explicitly non-canon stop having fun
There's only like 5 genuine gods remaining by the time we arrive.
and we kill one of them!
Who would win: 1 zillion torches, or one stupid virgin named xeroc
Answer seems obvious to me
you kill 3, actually
ravager
Cough cough hive mind and perforators cough cough
Is he actually a virgin tho?
those are jsut weirdos spawned by the remains of gods arent they
we mean genuine gods who have an auric soul in em
They aren't true gods.
Their just monsters formed from the remnants of the dead gods. They only have a fraction of the strength that once was.
We mean gods like SG and Providence.
isn't ravager a mindless monster thing though? is it possible to lose yourself to that kind of power and go insane?
what is he even the god of
blood?
ah
i wonder if that means he'd be able to grow in power through those
eventualyl becoming an absolute menace
i mean if i were to take a guess on how he was revived-
(i havent played calamity in a while so i havent read his lore item, im just spitballing
(he's an optional boss anyways iirc
but if ravager is a god, iirc slime god and prov kept running away from yharim when he tried to kill them, what's rav's excuse
Put shortly, Warlocks and stuff created him due to all the bad sh*t going down back then.
The second he was brought to life, he killed them all and went on a mindless rampage.
In Yharim's words...I forgot. Something about making a god doesn't turn out well.
❌
yharim completely and utterly lies in the ravager lore item
oh god i got ptsd from the very loud incorrect buzzer meme
How was it created?
And why is it batsh*t insane?
ravager is a real god
necromancy does that shit to you in calamity man
Real
so ravager is a dead god
soem necromancers brought him back
and now he's a mindless monster
wonder what he was like when he was alive
prolly just another one who didn't get sugarcoated by yharim
all we really know is that they were likely strong as shit, judging by how ravager is canonically post provi in strength
what what
and god of sacrifices was probably WAY stronger before dying the first time
umm yeah ravager is getting the treatment
thats right
the rework retier resprite
Is astrum dias a god?
ravager is being moved to a post provi boss, so canonically thats its strength
yes and no
Ravager getting rework Soon™
worshipped as one but just isnt one
he doesn have an auiric soul but he's revered as one
Ravager vs B*tch Worm.
damn i gotta tell my friend this
we're doing a calamity themed roleplay, this would be a lot more interesting than what ravager is currently
so yeah ravager is really strong
I wish god of sacrifices had a name that isnt ravager, since my current headcanon is that ravager is a name the terrarian came up with
and ravager is also kind of an underwhelming name
the terrarian is horrible at naming things yes
i dont think it's said that he was literally called ravager in the past
its also quite suggestive
maybe just a term people who saw it agreed uponm
woah this thing is ravaging shit I should call it ravager
ravager? I hardly know er'!
post prov ravager
i like the soun of that, i cant wait for this glow up
Terrarian will name things if it's already had the title
I.E eater of worlds of devourer of gods
yeah ravager is gonna become based
I dunno about you, but the Ravager can ravage me anytime-
bonk
I love how all necromancy we see is kind of incredibly fucked up
ravager, the sepulcher, scals brothers, probably some others
What's this list of?
fucked up creatures revived via necromancy
necromancy is the one aspect of cal lore i will always praise writing-wise
Necromagic
Wouldn't anything blood moon related technically be necromancy?
Why
most fiction will just say "necromancy is taboo/illegal dont do it" but cal just decides to take away all sentient thought
Necromancy is forcibly bringing something to life. Even the best magic users at the art can't pull it off perfectly. Calamitas can assumedly narrowly prevent the Sepulcher from just attacking her.
Her brothers she can just make fight you whereas they just merk you on sight when you summon em.
Because it's a cosmological event that revives the dead as horrible creatures
are all zombies in terraria lore due to people practicing forbidden magic? or was it like a handful of zombies at first who spread and infected more
zombies have no lore
since there are just plentiful normal zombies around
im definitely overthinking it since zombies dont matter
no lore
Skeletons really love being the bone jigglers.
just a curse
Skeletron is THE jiggler of bones.
skeletron has actual lore of being a curse
Skeletron is a curse from the cultist
Didn't they say I'm FAQ they plan to add lore towards vanilla NPCs sometimes in the future?
I wish Skeletron was an oversized Skeleton instead of just a head and 2 arms.
no
or at least i dont remember adding that
average early game castlevania boss
I felt bad for the old man
well in cal he has 4 arms
The NPCs entry will be though
Bro trespassing and got cursed for the rest of his life
sure???
Lunatic Cultist was prolly just doing his thing and saw the old man. Was about to kill him but then suddenly went
"Stonks."
Made his ass guard the dungeon.
Lunatic cultist is a calamity bestiary entry I need
We know like nothing except thier a cult leader and cursed skeletron
yeah considering its one of the vanilla bosses thats pretty relevant in cal lore, would be nice
since only lore they get is prelude mentioning them
The dungeon itself is really f*cked up.
The amalgamation of hundreds of tortured beings turning into a formless monster of incredible power. (In lore. In game sucks ass.)
Has a monstrous Skeleton beast guardian guarding the dungeon to begin with.
Is filled with monsters of varying sorts.
Is the place where Lunashit Cultist and his Goons do their magic tricks.
And Mechanic is stuck inside.
one of 2 vanilla bosses that are relevant to the overall lore lmao
moon lord is obviously massive though
you can argue mechs but those are more of a collective
mechs are not relevant to the overall lore
its literally just "soul power exists"
Id beg to differ, they we're a big part of draedons backstory
but yeah moonlord is by far the most relevant, considering its like the second or third stronger being to ever exist (to our knowledge)
nah not really
Weren't they war machines used on the field that Draedon despised but Yharim liked?
Also where the Portal to the distortion world reside
yeah?
how is that relevant to the overall lore
im not talking small picture im talking big
I'd argue the mechs have at least far more than any of the other non relavent bosses.
yeah thats right im talking big
Plus Draedon decided to use them as the base for his magnum opuses.
moonlord is the definition of BIG lore character
yeah moon lord is quite big
did the dragons destroy MLs legs or did it never have them
that is true but at the same time theres so many differences its crazy
YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE IS BIG
the dragons did indeed tear off his legs
I mostly just see the mechs as prototypes for yhe exo mechs
And yet we don't really know much about him other than its name is fovos (Which I don't believe was even stated anywhere in game)
Why did he even come to terraria? Did he want to conquer it or did he feel like doing a modest amount of trolling and kill everything
calling the mechs prototypes for exos is an insult to engineering and technology
moonlord is just very alien to use, in multiple ways
gee its almost as if he isnt from terraria
-Prototypes for Draedon's machines in a sort of weird way
-Proved that Soul Power can manifest as proper sentience in machines.
-Were powerful war machines that Draedon didn't like but Yharim liked.
My deduction? Far more relevance than monsters like King Slime. Not important in the grand scheme.
im kind of baffled the lunar pillars dont have lore in cal
Me too.
the pillars have lore you just arent willing to theorize enough to find out
it's not like we can confirm any of these theories-
I know most events dont but compare martian madness to lunar pillars in terms of relevance, one clearly deserves lore more then the other
We've already done it like 2 days ago.
you'd be surprised how much evidence can do-
Did the moonlord use the pillars to help his fight with the dragons? or did he do it himself? does he even have any connections to the pillars in calamity
theorizing is such a good thing that nobody likes to do...
I think the pillars are seals for Moon Lord!
They create monsters using the cosmic energy they are made of to defend themselves from threats since Lunashit Cultist couldn't do sh*t.
piecing together the entirety of noxus from like 5-6 lines is so fun
lets look at what we have about the pillars
they appear after killing the cultist, we can presume the spell the cultists were doing was preventing the pillars
destroying the pillars summon fovos
My theory is that What if calamity is actually freakity and we all get freaky to the boss
also take into account the chat messages that happen once the pillars die-
My interpretation of pillars in vanilla lore was that they were a last line of defense to prevent moonlord from being summoned
like god this community hates theorizing
And them dying does break some metaphorical if not semi-literal chains on fovos, considering thats, y'know, how we summon it
The cultist would of if the terrarian didnt ruin it..
Why does the terrarian even fight the Lunatic Cultist?
judging by sea king dialogue, the terrarian does it to get yharims attention by growing stronger
or atleast, thats the reason sea king tells us to do it
the terrarian's motivation is up to you!
All the terrarian do is up to you
there is no terrarian lore
For me he did it cus he was bored
I don't rememebr naming the mechanical bosses
I've got a theory.
What if Yharim likes cheese?
Cuz yes.
and I have to imagine sea king wants yharim like mega super dead
well too bad you did
naming the mechs (and seemingly storm weaver) is the main set in stone lore for the terrarian
Nah you have dementia mate
weaver is questionable
Wake up
Then again I think we're confusing character lore with character personality and growth
yeah it might just be what most people call it, even if draedon doesnt
A running theme is that Terrarian seems to suck at naming things.
Powerful beast of incredible power almost mauls them to death.
"Damn! That was close! I'll name that thing Destroyer. It almost destroyed me."
but mechs being named by the terrarian is funny lore, I like it
I assume terrarian also named skeletron, and probably king and queen slime
queen slimes real name is probably hallowlan paladin or smth
"Two floating eyes of destruction capable of analyzing and scouting out any foe"
There two beings, lets call it the twins
Spazmatism🗿
Spazmaballs
Yum
Skeletron prime... looks like skeletron... but.. primier!
"Holy fucking fuckshit that slime has a crown lets call it king slime"
Thats especialy funny since the terrarian probably gave the name of skeletron despite not being any form mechanical
and the sequel
"Holy fucking fuckshit that slime has a crown and is PINK lets call it queen slime"
and its funny since queen slime definitely DOES have a real name
no actually
'Holy shit that's a giant plant... plantera
actually i can defend the terrarian on this one
they were referring to her by her chosen gender
yeah slime god(dess) is transfem
actually yeah trans affirming terrarian
mad respect to the terrarian for that name choice
Isnt the slime queen in calamity just the slime god using the new hallow
happy pride month
yeah
he made a palladin and got stuck in it
"That's a big worm! Eater of Worlds sounds badfuckingass! I gotta tell someone it!"
and then transitioned I guess
he went to the estrogen biome and transitioned
"Hey guide I just killed the eater of worlds!!!!!"
"Yeah sure buddy whatever"
that name actually always existed according to yharim
Wait I thought Eater Of Worlds was a nicknamed by many people
holy shit does he misgender slime goddess in queen slime lore item
only gives me more motive to kill him
No! yharim is a very misunderstood hero whose actions were not his fault (I only read his biased lore items)
Even Yharim said it's stupid
powerscalers when eater of worlds
me when i don't read between the lines and take a tyrant's words at face value
"It eats worlds! So therefore, it scales above Xeroc and shitfucks the verse!"
if thats the logic then I could argue yharim gets a pass since he might not even realize that the whole situation meant slime god transitioned, not to mention it literally just happened
talking about transfem slime god as serious lore is hilarious
Pretty sure noxus is a threat to reality itself
People just seem to put Xeroc at country-
old lore :D
because he is
I personally think of Xeroc as barely capable of destroying a planet.
you know ive seen jokes about transmasc yharim and honestly I find it a funny idea
xeroc could destroy a planet after like a couple years of effort
one of 2 cal's trans reps
being a genocidal maniac
yeah no
yeah he cant destroy a planet
i dont support transmasc yharim on that basis
I think xeroc CAN destroy a planet, would just take a very very long time
anyone can be a genocidal maniac
equality and all that
Xeroc can create draedron exomech from primordial light, by that logic he can create thousand of mech and destroy the world
yeah fair enough
yeah but portraying half the trans rep and only transmasc rep as genocidal...
yeah it just doesnt sit right
that just means we need more trans rep
Yharim deserves to die anyway
he'll kick the bucket in like 10 years you don't gotta do anything
Calamity afk lore
you know i wish i could get slime goddess' name because i dont want to keep deadnaming her
god is a male term though
you know, yharim, draedon, and calamitas have all done some truly heinous shit, but draedon, to some degree, does not understand what hes doing is wrong, just in the pursuit of knowledge, and calamitas actually feels remorse for what shes done
Yharim is a bitchass motherfucker who employed a child soldier and has slaughtered a near countless amount of people
yharim is simply just the worst
You know funny how both provi and sg are goddesses who were too sneaky to be killed by yharim
provi is lesbian and sg is trans so
yharim's true enemy is the liberals
Who hasn't honestly
not to mention nb xeroc
and likely agender ravager
provdence is trans?
prov is lesbian
Draedon: Released the plague and doesn't care about any death that comes from what he does even if the plague was accidental.
Calamitas: incinerated the Ocean and bullied a bunch of tough people on Yharim's orders. Accidentally caused the suffering of much of Terraria.
Yharim: If we went into him, we'd be here a bit.
lesbian provi? since when
since always man
I saw her more as aroace "I hate everyone and everything" coded
Calamitas is Aroace
I didn't know she had a preference at all. She's a kill on sight gal.
yeah i thought she was "everything must burn"-sexual
chat we should make up a name to refer to god of sacrifices to, I dont wanna say ravager that name is dumb
Maybe they were lesbian BEFORE they absorbed an Auric Soul.
THEN they became "Everythingmustburnsexual".
jonathan
hey wait isnt everythingmustburnsexual literally just being aroace


NO WAY WHATTTT
