no

keen jetty
#

Where do I start then?

#

Reading the over world first?

scenic yacht
#

all the currently in-game lore is summarised in the lore doc found in pins

golden oasis
#

someone PLEASE tell me that post ascension xeroc isn't a freaking worm

cold owl
#

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?

scenic olive
#

But noxus

golden oasis
scenic olive
#

Might be a giant worm

#

Maybe the distortion is a giant worm

#

And ceaseless void is one of its mouth

solar wharf
#

maybe even >> but i doubt it

cold owl
scenic olive
#

what happens if you eat silva

scenic yacht
#

you die

scenic olive
#

do you digest her or does her body survive the acid

scenic yacht
#

also you just ate a fucking humanoid

golden oasis

I mean, just a lil bit

Tiny teeny bit

an example of imortality kinda not being that cool long term

scenic olive
#

Hey

sinful adder
#

Is Silva actually brain dead? She influenced the primordial wyrm somehow

scenic olive
#

Dont be like that

scenic olive
#

Silva will eventually put herself back

sinful adder
#

Yeah I thought so

golden oasis
sinful adder
#

I don't think so

golden oasis
#

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

scenic olive
#

Eventually she stopped thinking

shut tide
#

if yharim threw her to space

scenic olive
#

half mineral half silva floating in space

scenic yacht
cold owl
#

I imagine Silva is just in like a deep coma until she returns

golden oasis
scenic olive
#

Then she recreates another terrarian world filled with life

#

then we invade that world

#

they called us the martians

shut tide
#

silva comes back and finds out her champion is stuck in some random fucking place thanks to some bitch ass worm

golden oasis
#

nowhere is safe from the player

cold owl
#

Yharim beat Silva into a coma

golden oasis
scenic olive
#

we will see him

#

in the distortion

golden oasis
#

yeah ik

#

as an npc

scenic olive
#

Im going to fight him

golden oasis
#

but it might be unlikely we have the option to take him home as a townie, as neat as it'd be

scenic olive
#

Champion of the life goddess am going to beat his ass

cold owl

#

Fuck this guy in particular

golden oasis

#

Braelor likes ant

#

NOO

#

I thought i sealed that away long time ago

scenic olive
solar wharf
golden oasis
#

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

shut tide
#

that would be funny, you walk in and the mf locks in

scenic olive
#

He'll not attack unprovoked

golden oasis
#

idk if he's ever NOT locked in

shut tide
#

when fighting the dynamic duo

scenic olive
shut tide
#

motivated...is that a...

golden oasis
#

#yamotoforcalamitymod
we already have the masamune as an overpowered reference sword so WHY NOT ANOTHER?!
(this is a joke

scenic olive
#

I wonder

#

Can you put Auric souls into machines

golden oasis
#

normally likely not

scenic olive
#

you can put normal souls into the mechs

golden oasis
#

but mf draedon would likely find a way to

scenic olive
#

As seen with the trio mech

solar wharf
#

you probably can assuming auric souls funcition the same as normal ones, just connected to the world soul

golden oasis
#

what IS the world soul btw?

solar wharf
#

idk

scenic olive
#

Soul of the planet

#

something like that

#

basically the domain expands to the whole planet itself

cold owl
# shut tide thats statis

Yes ik Statis is confirmed that but I'm pretty sure I heard that Braelor MIGHT be a wondering npc.

random mulch
#

hope yharim goes like "you're not here to hear me monologue, are you?" and waits for the fight to start

shut tide
scenic olive
#

At last you finally came

#

our battle will be legendary

shut tide
#

Our battle shall be legendary!

scenic olive
cold owl
scenic olive
#

Statis is immune to slipping on a banana peel

#

hes a ninja

shut tide
#

Im pretty sure he will be, yk since he is a big part of lore and all

scenic olive
cold owl
#

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.

golden oasis
#

didnt statis worship slime god at one point

shut tide
#

yes

golden oasis
#

imagine talking to statis and hes like "so you killed slime god, that kinda sucks but whatever"

shut tide
#

he was once apart of the onyx kingsmen

#

i dont think statis knows slime god is dead

scenic olive
#

Statis made a deal with signus

#

that deal

#

what was the deal

shut tide
#

no one knows

cold owl
golden oasis
#

maybe statis will tell us once he's added

shut tide
#

signus was not worshipped

golden oasis
#

theres no way he doesnt have a bunch of lore dialogue

scenic olive
#

That deal was doing Signus chores

#

Hence why hes trapped in Distortion

#

Bro became a butler

#

Outer Dimendional Ninja Butler

#

Quote from Yharim

cold owl
#

He was revered

shut tide
#

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

scenic olive
#

Yharim : same worm
Draedon : nuh uh

shut tide
#

Draedon when yharim calls storm weaver of same race as DoG

scenic olive
#

Welll ackhtually

#

Yharim : shut the fuck youre cringe
Draedon :

cold owl
scenic olive
#

insert the draedon gif telling you he cannot assist your further in getting bitches

cold owl
golden oasis
#

"stop asking me about that shit are you going to buy my spelunker glowstick or not"

cold owl
#

If he doesn't, he's about to have Yharim ptsd and meet the same fate as his clan did

shut tide
#

So.. consedring they nearly killed Yharim, How strong are statis and braelor?

golden oasis
#

if a god calls you their champion that's gotta mean SOMETHING

shut tide
#

Yharim gotta stay in the aeire or hes finished!!

scenic olive
#

what if Statis and Braelor killed Yharim

solar wharf
#

its safe to assume

#

exo mechs and calamitas > braelor or statis

#

thats also a weak yharim

golden oasis
solar wharf
#

one with no exo technology

golden oasis
#

you beat scal and exos and just statis appears and is liek "yharim is dead"
roll credits

scenic olive
#

Exo Technomancer

solar wharf
#

heavily fucking confused

#

on his way

#

braelor might be a boss fight

#

if he sees us just wiping bosses

#

he would be like

cold owl
solar wharf
#

"got to stop this"

shut tide
#

I feel like braelor might not care

#

after all

#

the player seems to have no beef with silva

scenic olive
#

How heavy is Yharim in armor

shut tide
#

plus most of the bosses tried to kill us

solar wharf
#

i dont think

#

braelor would let SG just

#

die by our hands

shut tide
#

He probbably doesnt know SG is dead

#

tbh i dont think he cares for SG

cold owl
solar wharf
#

im talking if yharim IS dead

#

he got killed by them

shut tide
#

oh

solar wharf
#

that means they are still in the world

#

dog never kidnapped them

#

which means

shut tide
#

if yharim was dead i dont think the terrarian would be killing a fuck ton of things

solar wharf
#

they would see us

#

killing fucking SG

solar wharf
#

im assuming thats not the case

shut tide
#

fair

solar wharf
#

and the player did it for another reason

cold owl
# solar wharf he got killed by them

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.

solar wharf
#

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

shut tide
#

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])

cold owl
#

So if Yharim would have died then, not much would have changed I believe, the damage was already done.

scenic olive
#

If we kill Yharim what does that accomplish us

cold owl
#

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.

scenic olive
shut tide

#

Superman

scenic olive
cold owl
#

Though a logical reason would be because it's implied that the Terrarians goal since the beginning.

shut tide
#

Well its up to you

#

If you wanna kill yharim for justice or kill him for shits and giggles

shut tide
#

the terrairan slaughtering hundreds because yharim stole their grilled cheese

Justified

exos -> treasure box

#

calamitas -> treasure coffer

#

yharim -> ?

crimson finch

Oh I never knew they had different bags

#

Yharim’s would be Treasure Jar (of pickles)

pliant ruin

i was guessing strange hive

i mean

treasure hive

Yharim drops a treasure key that unlocks his personal armory

whats the lore behind WoF?

#

Also wtf is the lore behind meteor heads lmfao

mighty zenith
chilly estuary
mighty zenith
#

azafure is the city that became the brimstone crag

shut tide
#

azafure is the brimstone crags

#

oft called the first city

chilly estuary
mighty zenith
#

god essence is what is left of a god afted they die

chilly estuary
#

I dont think I got to the brimstone stuff yet

chilly estuary
mighty zenith
#

since they try to cling onto life and spread

shut tide
#

was incinerated during calamitas and brimstone elementals fight

chilly estuary
#

I just beat WoF (calamity)

#

I only know stuff upto that point

shut tide
#

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

mighty zenith
#

the god stank

pliant ruin
#

skeletron prime is my favorite war criminal

mighty zenith
#

war criminal(s)

pliant ruin
#

well thta's a lie gregor is my favorite war criminal but ignore that

pliant ruin

it goes:

#

they are heads

meteor

buoyant inlet
#

maybe mana from the meteor gives them this sentience

solar wharf
#

is yharim the second human we kill?

#

is lunatic cultist even a human actually

urban hedge
#

Is Yharim even a human clueless (pretty sure Yharim is human, but tbf it's not a 100% chance)

#

Dunno about Cultist, though

solar wharf
#

i mean he looks human

#

dryads also look human tho but like

#

there is no way yharim's a dryad

urban hedge
#

Kinda doubt the cultist is a Lihzahrd, at least

shut tide
#

why would he by a dryad

#

dryads follow a goddess

solar wharf
#

humans follow gods/goddesses

#

look what yharim did

#

outliers exist

urban hedge
solar wharf
#

but i heavily

#

like heavily doubt

#

yharim is a dryad

#

that does not make sense

shut tide
solar wharf
#

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

urban hedge
#

Ilmerans, Lihzahrds, maybe more

solar wharf
#

hes racist against the lihzahrds

shut tide
#

i doubt he would be an ilmeran

urban hedge
#

There are other things (like Gods or Eidolists, which I assume are sapient), but those ones are kind of outliers and not species

solar wharf
#

he cannot be an ilmeran, he does not have fins

shut tide
#

i mean he got someone to incinerate the place so..

solar wharf
#

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

shut tide
#

the dragon cult.. the cult we know nothing about

solar wharf
#

do they worship dragons or

#

do they like

#

love dragons

shut tide
#

well... most of em are dead so...

solar wharf
#

is the dragon cult the equivlant to like vegans in their world

"do not kill the dragons, they have lives too you know"

urban hedge
#

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

solar wharf
#

eidiolists are cultist members

#

no?

urban hedge
#

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."

solar wharf
#

that silvaibles hit hard

solar wharf
#

i'd assume PW

shut tide
#

i doubt PW

graceful otter
shut tide
#

PW cares more about protecting the terminus and throwing hands with xeroc (PW would lose)

solar wharf
#

ye but i dont think worshippers care

urban hedge
#

Pretty sure it's supposed to be the Eidolon Wyrms. You know, the thing they're named after.

shut tide
#

i mean that could be it

solar wharf
#

i also dont think PW is sapient to actually say

#

"yo guys, i dont want ur dumbass service, leave"

shut tide
#

Not sure how your gonna be listening to.... wyrms that just make sounds

graceful otter
#

think about it

#

why would the cultists worhsip a new thing

#

and why the wyrms

urban hedge
#

Iirc the Wyrms are relatives of dragons

solar wharf
#

because they are dragon descendant

#

and they are like

graceful otter
solar wharf
#

very cool

graceful otter
#

so why would they start worshipping them over the dragons

shut tide
#

well all the dragons are gone (excluding yharon but... i dont think they really know)

solar wharf
solar wharf
#

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?

urban hedge
solar wharf
#

aggressive actually

#

both dragonfollies and fishrons

#

are aggressive

#

wyrms are the only ones that arent

#

that could explain it

shut tide
#

until you pull out the rod of discord

#

or hit them but

solar wharf
#

ye

graceful otter
solar wharf
#

does pw hate zeratros or xeroc

shut tide
#

it dislikes any signs of usupred light

solar wharf
#

which zeratros controlled

#

wyrm wasnt there when

#

xeroc consumed the auric soul

#

how does it know

shut tide
#

wyrm wasnt blessed then

solar wharf
#

xeroc did it

#

wdym?

shut tide
#

silva blessed PW

graceful otter
#

pw was alive during the ascension

shut tide
#

thats how it gained its strength

#

this is after xerocs ascension

urban hedge
shut tide
#

nope

graceful otter
#

offshoots came about in the middle of the draconic era, xeroc marked the end of it

pliant islandBOT
graceful otter
shut tide
#

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."

solar wharf
urban hedge
#

Double checked, you are correct

graceful otter
#

yes

solar wharf
#

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

untold bluff
#

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

scenic yacht
#

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 nothoughtsheadempty

untold bluff
#

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

pliant ruin
#

they're glurpzoids from the greezlingian dimension

#

it makes sense they'd do some weird incomprehensible shenanigans

untold bluff
#

Maybe devourer and weaver have organs that allow them to fly

#

Idk

pliant ruin
#

honestly i doubt its anything biological

untold bluff
#

Technology?

pliant ruin
#

trying to explain the devourer or anything from the distortion really with earthly biology and laws is probably gonna lead to nothing

scenic yacht
untold bluff
#

Dude once the full devourer design becomes public I need an official anatomy drawing for them

scenic yacht
#

He wouldve come to terraria and kinda just dropped wouldnt he

untold bluff
#

Like a cross section of DoG

pliant ruin
#

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

scenic yacht
#

Yeah

untold bluff
#

I heard that draedon has a lab there I think

pliant ruin
#

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

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

crimson finch
#

He still got jumped by the Slimy Shinobi & Plant Paladin

#

Just wasn’t preemptive

stark basalt
#

Ant man and the wasp vs bee guy

crimson finch
#

Exactly

daring crater
#

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

urban hedge
#

Old lore

#

Idk if a sub world is planned

daring crater
#

Makes sense

daring crater
#

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?

urban hedge
#

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.

daring crater
#

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

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

i wonder how powerful permafrost is

if forced into a fight, how strong do you guys think he'd be

crimson finch
#

Probably around SCal & Draedon

raven terrace
#

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?

golden oasis
#

yes

crimson finch
#

Si

golden oasis
#

he appears after you kill cryogen

raven terrace
#

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.

golden oasis
#

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

golden oasis

maybe as just a duel to train us or smt

raven terrace

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

golden oasis
#

well that magic seems rather hard to control with how often it explodes

raven terrace

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-

golden oasis

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

ik terrarian respawning isnt canon but it's funny to imagine how the characters would react if it was

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

raven terrace
#

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.

golden oasis
#

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

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

i dont think anything says they actually fought

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

What's fovos?

golden oasis

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

barren sonnet

pretty much sums it up

golden oasis
#

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

earnest flare
#

(according to the most recent dev statement on his power, the current moon lord is at about 30% of his former power)

raven terrace
golden oasis

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

its directly stated that jared (who is around yharim level) is far, far weaker than xeroc

Nothing says Torch God isn't the strongest.

de-canonization

golden oasis

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

earnest flare
noble niche

just some annoyed miner pickaxed a fucking dragon to death

Just so their torches would last longer

yharim couldnt kill torch god cause torch god isn't a physical being

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

#

no

sacrifices

golden oasis
#

ah

i wonder if that means he'd be able to grow in power through those

eventualyl becoming an absolute menace

earnest flare

i mean if i were to take a guess on how he was revived-

golden oasis
#

(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

raven terrace
#

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.

golden oasis
#

an artificial god

#

neat

yharim completely and utterly lies in the ravager lore item

so ravager is a dead god

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.

its literally just "soul power exists"

I know most events dont but compare martian madness to lunar pillars in terms of relevance, one clearly deserves lore more then the other

raven terrace

We've already done it like 2 days ago.

earnest flare
jaunty wraith
#

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

earnest flare
#

theorizing is such a good thing that nobody likes to do...

raven terrace
#

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.

earnest flare
rotund shore
#

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

woeful patio
earnest flare
#

also take into account the chat messages that happen once the pillars die-

rotund shore
#

My interpretation of pillars in vanilla lore was that they were a last line of defense to prevent moonlord from being summoned

earnest flare
#

like god this community hates theorizing

rotund shore

And them dying does break some metaphorical if not semi-literal chains on fovos, considering thats, y'know, how we summon it
