do you think moon lord played badminton with one Vortexian during his imprisonment on the moon

#

or maybe he played chess

warm gull
#

a single vortexian

buoyant inlet
#

with Nebula Floater

warm gull
#

It's always the same one

buoyant inlet
#

idk how i copied text 2 times

warm gull
#

moon lord plays chess with those big ass chessboards you sometimes see in parks

buoyant inlet
#

you know if the theory that pillars are ML's army is correct, then it's so funny how he probably used dragon like beasts to slay dragons

#

also ngl i really enjoy a lot of pillar enemy designs

#

they're so cooool

#

milkyway weaver is single handedly my favourite worm ebemy in game period

warm gull
#

I know literally everything about base terraria mechanics and items and very little about calamity aside from lore

buoyant inlet
#

tho the coolest thing about it is not its design, but rather the way it moves

thick slate
#

i like flow invader

thick slate
#

i like star cells as well

#

stardust best pilar

buoyant inlet
#

i like how milkyway weaver stretches and then elongates

#

like a proper worm

warm gull
#

why would it have to do that in open air

buoyant inlet
#

well, when it stretches it usually stretches in a single point i think

#

and becomes something like a star

#

still idk why but its cool

#

pillars might be ass gameplay wise but their aesthetics are cool

warm gull
#

yeah

spring helm
#

Milky Way weaver?

warm gull
#

Honestly never had a problem with the pillars tbh

spring helm
#

Like storm weaver but for the Milky Way?

#

@wheat walrus do the thing

warm gull
#

They're relatively short

buoyant inlet
#

no its a stardust pillar enemy

#

a worm

thick slate
#

i dont think it actually weaves the milky way

warm gull
#

why is storm weaver stronger than milkyway weaver are the devs stupid

spring helm
#

Would be funny

thick slate
#

does terraria take place on earth

buoyant inlet
#

give them 5666666666666666666666666666666666 years maybe they'll weave 12% of milky way

buoyant inlet
#

its not earth

warm gull
spring helm
#

Terra means earth, close enough

thick slate
#

milkyway weaver

#

implies the existence of earth

warm gull
#

Or the existence of the milky way candy bar

thick slate
#

true

buoyant inlet
#

well its just a silly naming thing. There's also Mars nearby terraria

does that mean joe biden is real

man this guy is essentially a miniature ML

#

he has exposed brain, visible ribcage i think?, same colors

warm gull
#

Yeah but no eyes

spring helm
#

eye is brain

warm gull
#

I always thought it was weird that moon lord is so blatantly vortex

#

Were they alluding to the fact that ranger was the best class when 1.3 dropped

buoyant inlet
#

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm i have a theory on this

#

not much of a lore theory, just

#

theming

#

you know how pillars represent the life cycle of the star, right

#

Solar – a living star, Vortex – a collapsing star as it dies, Stardust – the remains of a star's corpse, and Nebula – the birth of a new star

#

maybe Moon lord being vortex colored just represents how he's destructive in nature

#

he's a conqueror and invader

#

and he also is a practically walking corpse

austere spindle
#

…what lore are you pertaining to

buoyant inlet
#

its not really about the lore

#

more of why ML was made green in the first place

#

and also its probably not the case and i'm just thinking too hard about that

austere spindle
#

you might be

cloud ibex
#

it's an interesting explanation

warm gull
#

thought the walking corpse part is calamity based which is definitely not what he was designed with in mind

clever topaz
#

does anyone no aureus lore

#

know*

#

bro my brain just shut off

pearl onyx
pliant ruin
#

i think the reason ml is so blatantly vortex realistically is probably because vortex was designed first before they thought of the others

#

but your explanation is really interesting symbolically

#

wouldn't be surprised if originally it wasn't even meant to be like

#

pillars

#

and there was just gonna be like, an alien invasion with vortex-like theming

#

with ml being the boss of the invasion

buoyant inlet
clever topaz
#

Im not good at lore but since Cuthulu was originally green, Maybe moon lord absorbed the rays of the moon and it made himself glow into a light green

buoyant inlet
#

cthulhu isn't real in calamity lore

clever topaz
#

ok

#

dude my messages make me look like a noob smh

mighty zenith
clever topaz
buoyant inlet
#

Moon lord was more powerful and invaded terraria in the past, when auric dragons were protecting it. So ML fought the dragons, and killed a lot of them and even injured their king, but also was heavily weakened and sealed in the moon

mighty zenith
#

no you're aureus

clever topaz
#

ye

hoary berry
mighty zenith
#

real

clever topaz
#

Also i feel annoyed after watching skeletron videos

mighty zenith
#

i've gotten to make fun of him so we're even clueless

buoyant inlet
# clever topaz does anyone no aureus lore

Aureus is a robot created by draedon, and its purpose was to return equipment and explore new areas. When astral star hit terraria and astral infection formed, aureus was sent to study it, but was infected, as it has very primitive ai just to get orders and commands

clever topaz
#

ye i know that part

so what are you curious about?

Okay so basically, I'm monkey, you're monkey. However, Monkey is also part of the universe. If Monkey thinks it is just monkey, then it is deluding itself into thinking it is not also the universe. If Monkey now killed a god and absorbed part of it, while still maintaining the delusion that it is just monkey, it would in fact be both monkey and god, ergo greater than either monkey or god, and this all works because god, like monkey, is just the universe again

Hi lore chat

#

Bye lore chat

stuck shore
#

Who would win in god power comparison? Ascended Xeroc vs Bug (Tsukimichi Moonlit Fantasy)

#

(Also Bug is the goddess, she’s just as wicked as Providence I think)

wheat walrus
#

idk

#

idk where the bug scales

#

but I do know Xeroc scales to Country Level

#

and with Massively Hypersonic speeds at lowball

stuck shore
#

Should we call providence in lore “Pest”?

#

Or something insulting considering her lore as the most twisted auric god

humble folio
#

How is the slime god a god if gods are only created by auric souls

#

So then what’s the origin of astral infection now

#

Is it just some random plague from some random place?

do you believe in mana

warm gull

warped helm
spring helm
#

slime god was not a slime pre-ascension

wheat walrus
warm gull
#

what does that have to do with xeroc being supasonic

wheat walrus
#

Xeroc's speed compares to Astrum Deus, a much weaker Terrarian can consistently keep up with Deus' movements, and I would assume that since we can't even kill Xeroc, that Xeroc can keep up with us

warm gull
#

how do you know that xeroc's speed compares to deus

#

what if xeroc is just better at dodging via reaction times

#

or has an insane healing factor

lean crag
wheat walrus
warm gull
#

I mean xeroc having a healing factor is just as unconfirmed as their speed

wheat walrus
#

well yes

#

but there is basically nothing implying that Xeroc heals

#

and as for speed

#

look even earlier bosses can keep up with us

arctic wave
#

does anyone know a video so I understand calamity lore or something

wheat walrus
#

despite us being capable of keeping up with Deus' movements

warm gull
#

also how do you know that terraria's escape velocity is the same as earth's

wheat walrus
warm gull
#

or that deus even has to go escape velocity considering that it hovers

wheat walrus
#

it was based on how the moment we kill WoF, the astral meteor hits a few seconds later and Astrum Deus supposedly descends with it, as well as the fact that Astrum Deus was stated in draetalk to live at the absolute lowest in the higher atmosphere

#

I'll admit

#

it's quite a vague one

#

but for now that's all we have for calamity speed

#

I guess I could go picking up random shit for speed feats

warm gull
#

are you basing the calc on how long it takes for deus to get to the surface when you summon it?

wheat walrus
#

but not now since I'm doing blender stuff

wheat walrus
warm gull
#

because deus certainly does NOT go supersonic while you fight it

#

regardless of whether it can

#

you can literally put a stopwatch on and see your own speed

wheat walrus

since I have yet to properly do that

#

What even makes an auric soul

#

Is it just something that dragons have? For some reason?

warm gull
#

an auric soul is a fragment of the world soul

#

that the dragons had as their own souls

humble folio
#

I’m assuming a world soul is quite litteral then?

spring helm
#

It’s not that the dragons have them for some reason, it’s that the beings that have auric souls are dragons

humble folio
#

Ie all worlds have souls

graceful otter
warm gull
#

it is

spring helm
#

There are a limited number of auric souls, so the descendants of dragons are non-auric and are known as dragon offshoots

graceful otter
#

thats literally all there is to it

#

if ur not an auric dragon, u dont have an auric soul

warm gull
#

auric souls are the souls of the dragons, yes

graceful otter
#

if ur a child of an auric dragon without an auric soul, then ur just a dragon (aka draconic offshoot)

warm gull
#

well the auric dragons

#

the auric dragons had fragments of the world soul as their souls

humble folio
graceful otter
#

they

#

dont

humble folio
#

That’s it

warm gull
#

they

#

do

graceful otter
#

please stop saying that

warm gull
#

but it's true

humble folio
graceful otter
#

they dont, stip had to tell us multiple times that its wrong

#

because people keep spreading that as gospel

spring helm
#

So is this the planned redesign for DoG

graceful otter
#

yes

humble folio
spring helm
#

How big is that

graceful otter
#

big

spring helm
#

Thanks boob

warm gull
#

it's literally pixel for pixel

humble folio
#

Well the terraria is about as tall as the width of the devourers mouth iirc

warm gull
#

that's how big it will be in game

humble folio
#

So that’s it
Auric souls are just the souls of dragons
There’s litterally nothing explaining what gives their souls such power? Or their origins

graceful otter
#

their power comes from the world soul, and apparently they were gifted them

#

thats pretty much it

warm gull
#

oh okay

humble folio
#

What’s a world soul

graceful otter
warm gull
#

yeah that's weird

graceful otter
humble folio
#

Ah ok

spring helm
warm gull
#

my sources told me they were directly derived from the world soul

humble folio
warm gull
#

I love misinformation

humble folio
#

Dev?

warm gull

idk lol

graceful otter

#

That would make its mouth bigger, but would prov fit in its throat?

humble folio
#

Tfw you realise the devourers single segment bigger than moon lord

warm gull
#

snakes

warm gull
#

they just have stretchy bodies

humble folio
#

It’s a serpent

spring helm
#

DoG with bulge

humble folio
#

And if this serpents face is bigger than well, a leviathan, ‘Cthulhu’, a dragon, and a gods

#

I think it’d probably be fine

spring helm
#

DoG’s boss fight is going to look like an anaconda trying to eat an ant

humble folio
#

Wait so world souls
Is that just something all planets have

warm gull
#

looks like dog could gulp down yharon lol

humble folio
graceful otter
#

its literally just mentioned once

warm gull
humble folio
warm gull
#

it does in the context of gulping something down

#

anyways

humble folio
warm gull
#

me when the pedantism

spring helm
#

If DoG tried that Yharon would blow him up from the inside

warm gull
#

yeah yharon is stronger

#

but like physically

humble folio
#

What’s the new siren and leviathans deals then

#

And also the elementals

warm gull
#

anahita is the water elemental

humble folio
#

Are they also all “gods”

warm gull
#

leviathan is just her critter

#

elementals are not gods

#

god is specifically the term for someone who has consumed an auric soul

humble folio
#

Oh elementals haven’t done that

#

Ok

warm gull
#

well silva did

#

silva is the life elemental

humble folio
#

And became a god

warm gull
#

yeah

humble folio
#

Ah ok

#

Just Silva tho

warm gull
#

she is also the goddess of life

#

the dragon she consumed the soul of was the dragon of life

humble folio
#

Very intriguing to me why dragons were chosen to have these blessed souls

#

It gives like

#

9 titans vibe

scenic yacht
#

they were like the most powerful beings at the time anyway

#

like before the souls

warm gull
#

there were hundreds of auric dragons

humble folio
#

Well yeah makes sense

warm gull
#

and hundreds of gods

humble folio
#

And then someone used the soul of the world ig to grant auric souls to the dragons

#

For a dragon it lets them respawn/be reborn right?

scenic yacht
#

no

#

yharon does

#

thats like his whole thing

humble folio
#

Dragon of rebirth

#

Oh that explains the title

warm gull
#

afaik we don't know why the auric dragons have the souls, just that it's related in some way to the world soul

humble folio
#

Ah use

#

I see

spring helm
#

Dragons needed their auric souls to reincarnate

humble folio
#

I can use that gap of knowledge in my story then :3

spring helm
#

And also Yharon

#

Both are required

warm gull
#

dragons are reborn as the same being every time and retain memory etc

#

specifically because of yharon

#

but yharon is not the one who gave them their souls in the first place

spring helm
#

The ascension ritual permanently consumed auric souls, which was why the dragons can’t come back anymore

warm gull
#

yeah it merges the auric soul with the human soul

#

which fucks the whole thing up

humble folio
#

You become

#

“More” I guess

#

Metaphysically

late forge
#

wait ik this sounds stupid but before bountiful harvest how did killing the calamitas clone tremble the depths

humble folio
#

If I took a guess it has smth to do with brimstone

#

But that’s me speaking theory

#

So zeratros would’ve been fine had xeroc never showed up

warm gull
#

the auric soul being merged with the human soul gives it the power of the auric soul and the fragility of the human one which means that it doesn't stay together when you kill a god and therefore you can't ascend with a god's soul

warm gull
#

zeratros likely still would've died but he would have been reborn

humble folio
#

Well yeah
If having your soul and yharon being alive were what insured that then logically speaking he would’ve

#

Yeah

#

He would’ve been reborn

graceful otter
humble folio
#

So he wouldn’tve been reborn

#

Wait what

#

Ok now I’m confused

spring helm
sinful adder
#

This is one of the significant mysteries. Yharon was likely lying

#

But we don't know for sure

warm gull
sinful adder
#

See, Yharon was the one who told this story to yharim, but if Yharon was alive then there would be no issue, and if he was dead then he wouldn't be able to tell the story.

warm gull
sinful adder
#

My theory is that Zeratros chose to fuse with Xeroc, and that Yharon didn't like this, so lied.

sinful adder
# warm gull

Yharim is at least partially wrong about this, probably

warm gull
#

it's possible

graceful otter
humble folio
#

Wasn’t yharon not even born at that time tho

#

He was still in an egg

sinful adder
#

Yharon was born, then died, then was reborn

humble folio
#

Unless we can assume dragons have been reborn like multiple hundreds of times

#

I see

spring helm
#

Yharon’s older than Azafure

#

Which is like

graceful otter
spring helm
#

1800 years old

humble folio
#

Wait so when did all of this shit happen with

sinful adder
#

I bet that Yharon hated the ascension thing and tried to kill Xeroc, then promptly got his ass beat

humble folio
#

The timeframe from like
Xerox’s ascension to the present day (with the terrarian)

#

I heard someone say this was a few years

spring helm
#

Moon lord arrived on terraria about 800 years ago

humble folio
#

I see

spring helm
#

Draedon was made about 660 years ago

humble folio
#

So yharims crusade was
Quite long

spring helm
#

And the crusade started around 100 years ago

humble folio
#

So there was about 700 years of drsgon souls being on the menu

warm gull
sinful adder
#

The only explanation that would make Yharon's story true would be for Fovos to somehow have the ability to nullify auric powers, or consume or destroy souls, maybe

humble folio
#

Fovos…?

warm gull
#

fovos is moon lord

humble folio
#

Who and what is a fovos

graceful otter
#

moon lords name

sinful adder
#

Moon Lord's true name

spring helm
humble folio
#

Oh

#

Idk if i like old calamity or new calamity lore

spring helm
#

Probably hit Zeratros with the “curse of mortality” or something and made him not able to reincarnate

graceful otter
humble folio
#

Does ml have any origins? Or is he just

humble folio
#

A powerful abomination from space cuz why not

graceful otter
#

if anything, it would be a stronger example of how traitorous xeroc was by not saying zeratros' soul was gonna be lost

warm gull
#

what evidence do we have that zeratros would actually have been lost permanently that makes it more likely

humble folio
#

I mean it would make sense for ml to have that quality depending on its origins or what it acc is

graceful otter
#

yharim is literally, explicitly stating that

humble folio
#

If it was equivalent to like Cthulhu level anyways

warm gull
#

there isn't any indication that zeratros was harmed in a specific way that would cause him to die permanently

humble folio
graceful otter
humble folio
#

Knowing he wouldn’t vs would be reborn changes context

graceful otter
#

it would be much simpler to say "he was gonna be reborn but xeroc killed him" than to say "he was dying permanently, but xeroc absorbed his soul"

warm gull
humble folio
#

Does ml have any origins then?

spring helm
humble folio
#

Or is he just some space entity

warm gull
#

not known

humble folio
#

Ah

warm gull
#

they call him a cosmic aberration from beyond the stars

graceful otter
spring helm
#

I like it tbh, makes the universe feel more alive and not completely centred on the planet

warm gull
#

yharim does not say zeratros's soul would have been gone though

humble folio
warm gull
#

it's pretty vague with "his life and his power"

graceful otter
#

_ _

#

what is

#

zeratros'

#

ONE

#

SINGULAR POWER

#

that only he could use

spring helm
#

@cosmic zenith was Zeratros going to die forever from Moon Lord

graceful otter
#

go go gadget stip

warm gull
#

why would yharim specifically mention this in requiem if xeroc is not responsible for ending zeratros's reincarnation

humble folio
#

Wait

#

Laid to rest on the aerie

#

Very specific wording ngl

warm gull
#

zeratros died on the aerie

humble folio
#

Oh HDcompletefailure

graceful otter
humble folio
#

It’s possible most dragons just weren’t on the aerie so they ended up acc dead

warm gull
#

yharim mentions "the grave of light" as being on the aerie

humble folio
#

Honestly I got a head cannon I’ll probably use when I’m writing my tmodloader story

Ml somehow nullified their rebirth ability of the dragons so zeratros wouldve acc died and he got xeroc to consume his soul more as a sacrifice than a murder

warm gull
graceful otter

Shit I wouldn’t b surprised

I like it

humble folio
#

Don’t give r34 artists ideas

warm gull
#

what if fovos was called freakos and instead of killing the dragons he just licked them

graceful otter
humble folio
#

Where he got that ability
I mean shit, if he was Cthulhu which he seems to be in all but name

warm gull
#

"xeroc renounced their sworn oath and broke the cycle..."

spring helm
#

Freak Lord, sucked the auric soul outta the dragons

warm gull
#

he was referring specifically to xeroc

that part came later

It litterally said that mate

She’s a kid they found who was tattered and poor but gifted with magic and apparently the gods wronged her so she wants veangeance

Scals whole motivation is severe mental trauma in new lore

I dunno

humble folio
spring helm
#

Are you talking about new lore,? Because that’s wrong

hushed geyser
#

Thats like

#

Old lore

#

That's insanely wrong

spring helm
#

The gods were not involved with Calamitas’ origins

Brimstone Elemental woke up and started destroying Azafure. A kid Calamitas fought back and awakened her brimstone magic. Azafure is destroyed from the battle. Yharim takes Calamitas into his army.

You assuming I don’t read everything and then speaking nonsense urself and saying others are wrong

#

Oh I didn’t add ping

warm gull
#

I

#

I

hushed geyser
#

Dude did you

#

Read

#

A single thing

#

Cus that takeaway is closer to old lore that's off by miles

sinful adder
#

Typhoon you have been wrong about almost everything

warm gull
#

I'm not speaking nonsense saying others are wrong, I'm arguing with noob about a specific interpretation of a lore item

humble folio
warm gull
#

typhoon every time you've asked a question it's been followed with an assumption that the lore is extremely bland and not well thought out

hushed geyser
#

(Old lore was like that tbf)

lean crag
#

The lore when I discuss it

warm gull
#

like just ask yo question and wait for an answer

hushed geyser

Okay nerd

humble folio

no need to be negative

warm gull
#

you can dislike new lore and like the unfinished vague concepts that old lore was

lean crag
#

I mean keeping an open mind is always nice…

#

People prefer some aspects of old lore and others of new

warm gull
#

mfs assuming that just because old lore had a larger scale that it wass better written

humble folio
humble folio
spring helm
#

I would like to hear what about the old lore you liked

sinful adder
#

Read the entire lore doc and also keep in mind that a few things are still secret

warm gull
#

the problem with old lore is that it had a bunch of elements that were just random and unrelated, new lore is much more cohesive and everything flows into each other

humble folio
#

The entire thing was a mess

lean crag
hushed geyser
warm gull
#

the new lore is actually really cool btw and it all ties together well in the end

#

like

humble folio
#

But I liked slime god and calamitas origins
Also siren and leviathan too

eager bluff
#

new lore and old lore both have their strengths and their faults

lean crag
#

Indeed!

warm gull
#

also old lore never got finished

humble folio
#

Yeah I agree with that

#

I didn’t say one or the other was bad

#

I just said I didn’t know which I liked better

austere spindle
#

new lore seems blackpilled which i guess fits as you slaughter whatever is left of a dying world

eager bluff
#

neither is perfect it all comes down to preference but yes as zara said make sure you're making informed statements instead of making up bullshit

spring helm
#

Yes

#

It’s in the pins

lean crag
#

Indeed

humble folio
#

Ok this is news to me

eager bluff
humble folio
#

Mb for not CheckThePins

lean crag
#

Would definitely recommend reading it to gain a comprehensive, objective summary of new lore

warm gull
humble folio
#

Aight gimme a bit ig

lean crag
#

There’s both individual details and summaries and theories and such

humble folio
#

I like that

sinful adder
humble folio
#

K then most of my views on current lore is from the fact I didn’t know there was a new lore doc

lean crag
#

Mhm! Which is fine yeah, just make sure to stay informed

austere spindle
eager bluff
#

its written more like

#

yeah no everything fucking sucks but things seem to be getting better

warm gull
#

yeah

#

mostly because

#

xeroc

eager bluff
#

we really cant say anything about xerocs involvement

#

we cant trace everything back to one specific person

austere spindle
eager bluff
#

oh no my 50 dollar steam gift card

eager bluff
austere spindle
#

ah so it’s a sort of Yharim not seeing the bigger picture and getting curbstomped then seeing how the world is moving on without him type thing then?

eager bluff
#

the way i see it yharim doesnt really want to guide us into making the world as a whole a better place in general, he wants to guide us into finishing his crusade

#

because in his mind finishing the crusade will fix everything wrong in the world

austere spindle
#

seems about right

eager bluff
warm gull
#

well that was more

#

improper extermination

#

but yeah

#

the gods aren't the root of all evil

eager bluff
#

even with proper disposal of the remains yharim doesnt see that gods dying will have negative impacts on the world

warm gull
#

they're just people who got power and then did what people do which is to use power to their advantage over others

eager bluff
#

some of them

#

not all of them

warm gull
#

right

#

those are the good people

#

but there is nothing inherently evil about being a god as yharim believes

#

they're just, people

#

like I'm sure that some gods were the result of people defending their homes against dragons who were attacking them, and some gods went after peaceful dragons solely to gain power

#

it's just the way it goes

What lore was with the future bosses

scenic yacht
#

considering old lore was like stupid in many points there was probably none other then they are just stronger

buoyant inlet
# soft geyser What lore was with the future bosses

The idea was that they're potential future of those bosses if we didn't kill them

Lunatic cultist fully absorbs Moon Lord's powers

DoG finally finds and devours Providence, and his own sentinels as well

Yharon just keeps getting older and stronger

buoyant inlet
#

In the new lore they can kinda work but with big tweaks

soft geyser
#

Nah I need dou

#

So I can use normal dog as a minion

mighty zenith
#

just use metastasis lma

soft geyser
buoyant inlet
#

LC surprisingly can fit as it is. We already see him absorbing powers from the seal, so theoretically he can absorb full power of ML too.

Dog won't get stronger after eating provi or any other God. He simply can grow stronger by getting more experience. Maybe, if he's a part of noxus (who is the head of the distortion hive mind), noxus getting stronger from the godly essence would also mean dog getting stronger

Yharon also can just grow stronger by getting more experience. It's what he was doing anyway

real silo
#

what the fuck is a metaphore

buoyant inlet
#

Why do I type like this

buoyant inlet
#

Similar way to how LC absorbs powers from the seal

#

Cal did similar thing to brimmy

soft geyser
#

U are known for that

#

Whenever I see you write I know u are cooking currently

buoyant inlet
#

I'm no Hisk unfortunately😔

soft geyser
#

And that makes me eager to read

soft geyser
buoyant inlet
#

Metastasis is exhumed Staff of Mechworm that you get from Calamitas, it summons Sepulcher that protects you, but will attack you if you don't kill the brimstone hearts that appear around you

mighty zenith
#

the joke is that people didnt realize the description was a metaphor alluding to DoG and thought DoG WAS literally sepulcher

soft geyser
#

I thought it was the third difficulty of calamity back in the fay

humble folio
#

K finished reading lore doc

#

New calamity lore
I like

buoyant inlet
#

Yeah, metastasis' tooltip alludes at how Sepulcher might be a possible future for dog. But it's metaphor on how being greedy will lead you to grave, and not statement that dog literally is Sepulcher

humble folio
#

Doesn’t mention anything about noxus though
Im assuming it’s the thing consuming the power dog gets

mighty zenith
#

yeah noxus hasnt been officially namedropped yet

humble folio
#

I like new calamitas lore a lot tho

buoyant inlet
#

It's because of dubious nature of Noxus' existence in the mod as a boss

soft geyser
#

What was the difficultly that was removed

humble folio
mighty zenith
#

malice

buoyant inlet
#

Imagine all this build up and in the end noxus won't be added

#

Would be pretty calamitous

soft geyser
humble folio
soft geyser
#

What was that supposed to be

humble folio
#

What was malice mode?

soft geyser
scenic yacht
#

refight bosses but harder (done bad)

mighty zenith
humble folio
#

It was initially an extra mode like defiled and Armageddon where you fight enraged versions of every boss

mighty zenith
#

its much less edgy

humble folio
#

Idk if it’s less edgy but I like that there’s more cohesion in the story

#

And not just a million different subplots that never got connected

mighty zenith
#

edgiest thing i can think of is her causing the deaths of her family

humble folio
#

She did that?

#

In old lore?

#

I thought they got killed by a rival clan

mighty zenith
#

no i mean

#

in new lore

#

iirc she accidentally killed her brothers

#

while fighting brimmy

humble folio
#

I’m still not the biggest fan of the prodigy kid trope in media tbf but that’s the case either way

soft geyser
humble folio
#

Like realistically there has to be some reason how she was able to fight brimele Which the lore doc guesses as her kinda “absorbing” brimstones magic
Otherwise mucho bueno

humble folio
#

In the real world a lot of people are just
Naturally better

#

There has to be some actual reason she was so gifted tho

#

But the canon from what I’m reading is
Brim awoke, calamitas tried fighting back when she awoke the magic in herself, brothers died and azafure got incinerated
But she got recruited to join yharim

#

I still like old siren and leviathan better tho, the idea siren was an outcast from her society and she returned when the leviathan came and destroyed it seeing it as “freeing”

mighty zenith
#

but then again
you don't need every character to have some sort of huge backstory

#

plus it was kinda weird how anahita and brimmy got tragic stories while the other elementals got literally nothing

mighty zenith
#

anahita, brimmy, cloud elemental, sand elementals

#

Deserved it

scenic olive
#

Hell is full

#

so i decide to flood it

#

nuke the abyss

#

the flood brimstone crag

#

I wonder if doing that would create even stronger creatures

#

brimstone infused abyss creatures

real silo
#

they would die of decompression

pliant ruin
#

it'd probably make it so abyss creatures would have necromantic energy in them, theoretically

#

undead fucked up fish

#

the crags currently are under a still very strong fallout effect as seen by the spine trees and the creatures found there wso

#

either you'd get like, fish infused with necromantic energy or you'd just get like, water ghosts or whatever

#

probably a mix of both

north wigeon
pliant ruin
#

this is true

sinful adder
#

Opening the abyss to the underworld should probably flood the underworld and solidify the lava after like a hundred years, if it were lore accurate

#

I'm assuming the underworld is multiple massive caves underneath each continent and/or island, so we'd just flood one of them

#

And that the abyss is connected to the wider ocean through the sulphur sea

pliant ruin
#

I always saw the underworld as just a massive single volcanic cave

#

Maybe even a dormant volcano itself

#

I think it's visually cooler to picture it as a absolutely massive, open cave like it is ingame than a more usual claustrophobic series of tunnels

#

Kind of like the ''Center of the World" trope but instead of having dinosaurs or whatever its just hell

cloud ibex
#

hollow earth theory

buoyant inlet
#

Maybe abyss didn't flood underworld because the rock on the bottom of it is so compressed and so dense it can't be damaged easily

#

Pressure and stuff

#

Tho I imagine that eventually, in maybe thousands or million years, it will break, because of tectonic activity

#

And abyss will flood underworld

lean crag
#

a flooded ruined city in the wake of hell

#

gosh thats a cool concept

buoyant inlet
#

I imagine that abyss itself formed due to 2 tectonic plates doing funky things

#

So I think that there are 2+ tectonic plates on the sulph sea side of the world

#

Potential there also can be a volcano, and this volcano could poison the sea long before azafure

Zeratros is still alive

woeful patio
scenic olive
#

he lives in our heart calsad

woeful patio
#

Especially Xeroc

spring helm
# cosmic zenith Well, what does the lore item tell you?

Well the lore item is called Prelude, so I’m assuming Yharim is describing what happens before the events that happened in Requiem.

Zeratros himself was gravely injured. It seemed his power, along with his life, would be lost forever.
One mortal, sworn to the service of the Dragons, rose in determination to save their virtuous King.

With that in mind, this section of Prelude then tells me that Zeratros’ auric soul was fading away after the battle with Moon Lord. This is supported by the fact that the line earlier to this specifically states that many dragons, dead or alive, were unable to recover their powers as well.

So I’ve interpreted the events in Prelude and Requiem as:

  • Moon Lord arrived in Terraria and devastated the dragon population.
  • Many dragons were injured or killed, and for some reason their auric souls were affected in some way that meant their powers were lost and the dragons were unable to reincarnate.
  • Zeratros was one of the casualties and was fading away.
  • Xeroc, determined to save Zeratros’ life, visited him.
  • one cutaway gag later and the first god is born

it's the fact that I started really liking the Fatalis VS Xeroc matchup

that fatalis render was made by me earlier today

eternal lotus

idk

raven terrace
eternal lotus
#

guys do the blossom pickaxe and other tool / armor with the same ore is composed of wood too because it look like wood clueless

#

it look like wood

cloud ibex
#

fossilized tree bark

eternal lotus
#

oh

cloud ibex
#

that's what the game calls it

solar wharf
#

does not make sense to providence

#

gonna be replaced with something else

eternal lotus
#

maybe the uelibloom is like contient and they were on the surface merged with wood and because too many thingdisturbed them they had gone into the cavern clueless

buoyant inlet
#

And replaced with something more appropriately profaned themed

pliant ruin
#

uelibloom is supposed to be fossilized wood

#

for... some reason

#

it's completely unfitting with it being the Providence Ore so

#

it's being replaced, as throudon said

eternal lotus
#

so like hollowed ore but darker ?

pliant ruin
#

by something that actually fits

solar wharf
#

probably something flame related

eternal lotus
#

well providence is brown yellow so if it need to fit

pliant ruin
#

provi is also getting a redesign i think

#

idk how much of a redesign

#

but its been mentioned

#

or well

#

idk if it's an actual redesign or just a resprite

eternal lotus
#

she's going to look like malenia nothoughtsheadempty

pliant ruin
#

but she's getting changed, is the point

cloud ibex
#

i think profaned ore should maybe not just reuse prov's palette

pliant ruin
#

i can see it

#

i can see human prov kind of looking like malenia

#

specially because i think human prov should have a sort of knight/paladin aesthethic being heavily armored and all that

eternal lotus
#

the elden ring boss ? ( sorry if its not elden ring ) because i'm taling this malenia

pliant ruin
#

yes the elden ring boss

eternal lotus
#

yeahhhh

#

this one

pliant ruin
#

yeah i can see human prov looking like that

eternal lotus
#

maybe

pliant ruin
#

something like that anyways

eternal lotus
#

but golden hair

buoyant inlet
#

proofaned ore can be an ashy ore

eternal lotus
#

because red isnt fitting prov i think

buoyant inlet
#

like idk hardened ash

pliant ruin
#

idk if prov would have golden hair

spring helm
#

we're losing moth providence?

solar wharf
#

would dragon of steel exist? steel isnt really a concept, moreso a man-made thing

eternal lotus
pliant ruin
#

prov is getting official human concept art

buoyant inlet
#

i think human prov had very short hair

#

maybe even bald

pliant ruin
#

and also a resprite

solar wharf
#

whats the limits on domains

solar wharf
#

is it only things that exist within the world or can it be more

spring helm
pliant ruin
#

exclusively concepts are they?

#

there's the dragon of flame

#

thjat's not really a concept

solar wharf
#

idk why i said concepts

pliant ruin
#

i think a dragon of steel could exist

solar wharf
#

i meant as in something that exists within a world

spring helm
#

natural

solar wharf
#

steel naturally does not exist

#

its manmade

pliant ruin
#

ah

buoyant inlet
#

dragon domains are limited by what's here in terraria

pliant ruin
#

well idk about steel then but

#

metal?

#

probably

buoyant inlet
#

like there can't be dragon of stars

eternal lotus
#

guys honestly ( without counting calamitas ) who is the most human shaped boss in calamity

solar wharf
#

so something like a dragon of steel does not exist, but probably a dragon of metal/earth

#

who probably can mess with steel

buoyant inlet
spring helm
pliant ruin
#

though i like to imagine that under the hood he's got like

eternal lotus
#

yeah i forgot this boss existed

pliant ruin
#

some sort of draconic transformation going on

#

kind of like eidolists

cloud ibex
pliant ruin
#

but to a lesser extent

cloud ibex
#

or something like that

eternal lotus
#

what are you guys talking about ? dragon

#

?

pliant ruin
#

like he's got patches of dragon scales or something

spring helm
cloud ibex
#

basically

pliant ruin
#

and maybe like

#

''vestigial" wings

#

like he's kind of a freak

buoyant inlet
#

i like to imagine that under his mask LC is just a generic white guy (this is a joke)

pliant ruin
#

🔥

solar wharf
#

i wonder if braelor is the strongest champion, or if there is a champion out there that is stronger that died someway or another

buoyant inlet
#

like the most generic white guy possible

cloud ibex
#

take off the mask to reveal chris pratt

buoyant inlet
#

just a dude

pliant ruin
#

if provi does get a redesign i imagine

#

it probalby won't be as drastic of a change as like

#

ravager

#

her current design isn't bad, it could be better

#

but it has alot of good elements to it

spring helm
#

i would prefer if she stayed a ball of flaming rock

pliant ruin
#

so i imagine they'll just like

#

improve on that

spring helm
#

or wood

#

whatever she's made of

pliant ruin
#

i don't like the wood part

#

it dosen't really

#

make any sense

#

for her

#

lore-wise

spring helm
#

fuel for the fire

pliant ruin
#

i guess?

spring helm
#

idk im just makign things up

pliant ruin
#

provi's current design fcould be better

#

it's not bad

#

but it's a bit

#

cluttered

spring helm
#

but i think she should stay inhuman

pliant ruin
#

she will

#

human prov is pre-ascencion

#

its just official concept art

spring helm
#

wait what

eternal lotus
#

the only thing i want is that she do not get smaller because i'm already strungglin to hit her sometime🙏

pliant ruin
#

she won't be changed into a human ingame

#

she's just getting official pre-ascencion art

#

like how xeroc got it

spring helm
#

oh, i thought you meant there already is

random mulch
#

providence is getting a full redesign iirc

pliant ruin
#

i don't know if it's a full redesign

random mulch
#

so also the sprite

pliant ruin
#

but some sort of resprite got mentioned i think

eternal lotus
#

with attack too or just apppearance

eternal lotus
pliant ruin
#

otonilou, silva and tyrian probably aren't getting pre-ascencion designs if i had to guess because

#

they supposedly looked almost the same as they do after turning into gods

spring helm
#

do they even look any different

pliant ruin
#

yeah supposedly they were like

#

barely different

spring helm
#

non-human bias, they get to keep the same looks

random mulch
#

found the message
(all 3 forms refer to pre-ascension, post-ascension and current)

spring helm
#

3?

pliant ruin
#

oh yeah

spring helm
#

what's the third

pliant ruin
#

if i had to guess

#

third, current

#

would be after she ascended and went insane and decided to do omnicide

spring helm
#

when it's night time and she goes super saiyan blue?
