So, basically, the timeline is: Dragons rule everything happy happy joy joy, oh no big moon man, many dragons die, moon man sealed behind moon, monk drinks dragon juice and becomes god, other people drink more dragon juice and become gods, random dude is chosen to drink dragon juice and rule dragons but says nah and gets smited, dragon boi hatches, random alien dude builds mechs, calamitas just... exists, gods go bye bye, insert player character
And then the player massacres everyone

Built by who?!!
fierce pagoda
By a random scientist who was found dead by dreadon, when he was avtivated

The Cyborg was built to compete with Draedon...
So that means that Draedon is created by someone that the mechanic and the steampunker likely knew

Maybe idk, dreadon did say that the scientist that made him was very smart

Usually the design of a robot mimics the species of those who made it

I don't think it's in the current lore anywhere

"Draedon? The guy who made these upgrades on me said he wanted to best him. But I never cared about that, I just wanted to shoot lasers from my eyes." Is the exact line according to the wiki
swift wigeon
Also, cyborgs aren't built. They're people with really advanced prosthetics
Not necessarily. You can make a machine that is partially organic in a fantasy world such as Terraria
Half of Draedon's creations are artificially created cyborgs. Skeletron Prime, The Twins, The Destroyer, etc. Unless you don't count souls as being organic, in which case The Twins still count because they are literally organic eyes with mechanical parts

I see what you mean and it is possible to make an artificial biological creature, but the cyborg appears to be and acts like a normal human. I also don't count the souls as being organic, at least not in the same way that a normal living creature is. They might be cyborgs by technicality

okay I have a dumb kinda lore related question, what is with the draedon vignette after the mech bosses are killed, iirc theres no dialogue or text or anything, it just puts a filter/vignette on your screen and draedon sits there ominously for a minute
mighty zenith
that's from infernum
however it's kinda meant to show you that Draedon is observing your journey
cunning hare
oh got it couldnt tell it was infernum my bad, thank you for telling me though

That's silly. Someone watching you doesn't put a shader on your view

It's not a random shader
It's like a computer screen
When the cutscene happens, your camera zooms out, revealing screen inside draedon's room and draedon himself watching

trim edge
when the player deletes a character or world, do we erase it from existence or merely sever our connection to it

the actual answer is the players connection to the world is uncanon
the answer if we were to assume it is canon, i'd assume the former
as we generate the world

let's use this to powerscale the player (not terrarian)

this sounds really bad on paper but do note that the only person that tells us that it was an actual betrayal is yharim who is notably known for being biased against gods

It is unknown whether Zeratros willingly gave his soul up or not

yharim was wrong multiple times

however it does generally seem plausible to me
solar wharf
specially in the storm weaver entry
pliant ruin
more so than xeroc betraying zeratros, atleast
spring helm
The only source we have for this is Yharim (through Yharon) and his ass is not gonna tell us that it happened willingly if it did
solar wharf
it wouldnt be surprised if zeratros never actually consented but understood xerocs intention
so it wasnt really betrayal
pliant ruin
this seems plausible too like
zeratros saw what he was gonna do
and even if he didn't maybe explicitly tell him to do it he like
silently agreed on his head that
yeah that's probably for the best

Good thing to say to one of the guys who tried to kill him
pliant ruin
oh
it's just a incredibly multimedia franchise mainly due to it being open license

Holy hell I have almost as many hours in calamity as gp and I still suck
pliant ruin
besides the games themselves alot of touhou content that gets popular on the internet isn't even quote on quote official
also it has cute anime girls on it so that's probably another reason
solar wharf
Holy hell I have almost as many hours in calamity as gp and I still suck
i think i have an issue with my muscle memory, because the only thing i ever get good at it, is knowledge, to the point where i made it into a rebalancing team but i was even worse than an average player lmao (not in calamity/terraria, different game)

I can imagine that if you say that yharim told you so, statis will get confused and disappointed like Narrator from Slay the princess, something like "what? No, yharim is evil, you're not supposed to listen to him"
stark basalt
how many is that out of curiosity?
Gp said that he has about 1.2k in calamity
solar wharf
also it has cute anime girls on it so that's probably another reason
every touho fan i met were either gay or nonbinary

i thought draconic offshoots had 0 auric souls in them?
Correct
real silo
The amount of times I've misspelled duck as fuck is unreasonable
hoary berry
muscle memory sabotaging you
real silo
I must become a good christian child and stop swearing
cosmic zenith
It is likely they have lingering magic in themselves, but no traces of Auric souls
solar wharf
is dragonblood special then?
because that doesnt explain why the only apex predators of the draconic offshoots are the ones that are close to dragons
stark basalt
Imagine your ancestors being dragons
cosmic zenith
fovos(full powered moonlord) attacks terraria, he manages to give all the dragon...
(Fovos is not full-power ML, it's just Moon Lord in general; it's an archaic name that was later replaced by Moon Lord due to the alien's imprisonment on the Moon)

well I don't think they're smart enough to care

i wonder what the duke in duke fishroon originated from

i'm guessing that it might just be the terrarian giving things stupid names again

Ok but take thanatos

My question is which one
random mulch
yharim worm
stark basalt
Draedon worm
mighty zenith
Maybe I will marry them
hey, i married a robot so anything's possible
pliant ruin
the problem with worm bosses is that alot of the time in not calamity specifically but modding as a whole they're really lazy and boring and all feel the same
real silo
Calamitas worm boss
ok sepulcher is such a based choice
mighty zenith

but
calamity has atleast some cool worm bosses
so its ok
even if theres still a little too many

Deus smells

I know one guy who doesn't like deus

whenever I hear distortion trio, it just sounds like its a group of legendary pokemon
hoary berry
sidetracked never fails to cook

Return to slime is pretty fire true
but have you ever considered the moon lord's theme
mighty zenith
genuinely i might just use cascade exclusively for the sentinel themes
stark basalt
Dm dokuro added enough bass to his songs to shake my house
mighty zenith
(wouldnt complain if they got added to base calamity)
with servants as a config option
real silo
you wouldn't complain but silly nostalgia people will
mighty zenith
thats why you give them the config

give them bread

so you can say "fuck off" in a nicer way

pliant ruin

buoyant inlet
Some members of the clan choose to get their bodies absorbed by king slimes

Maybe crowns are made by other members of the clan as some sort of a defensive sentry
To protect the king
hoary berry
i had something about the onyx kinsmem with the windy days i think
pliant ruin
i always just assumed the crown and the ninja were just supposed to be like ignoreda nd that ''canonically" it was just a fat slime but
i actually like that explanation alot more
hoary berry
To the little village off to the Great Jungle’s west, slimes are the keepers of life; through them, vast amounts of nutrients are transferred between lifeforms in vastly different climates. It is only as a result of these diminutive yet timeless creatures that much of the world’s life – and the village’s prosperity – can be.
To honour this fact, the people of this village, once per season, use earthen magic to manifest countless slimes, tie them to balloons and set them free to spread life across even the most barren of wastelands.
from my little headcanon worldbuilding doc
still a wip
mighty zenith
i actually like that explanation alot more
it makes sense too, since the only other ninja (besides the funny dead guy in the dungeon) we know is an onyx kinsman
but bone lees being kinsmen makes sense too actually
they're god worshippers that got put in the dungeon
dense ore
but bone lees being kinsmen makes sense too actually
bad kinsmen don't get to have slime funeral
dense ore
well it'd be kinda hard to give a slime funeral without a body
*bad kinsmen die slimeless
what if the jungle dragon was just king slime in a costume
dense ore
that funny dragon from calamity mod

dragon of rebirth
