ig scarifice doesnt always mean equivalent exchange

jaunty wraith
#

You must be the sacrifice for the crows in extange for your transgression

warm gull
#

dragon of commerce

north wigeon
#

Dragon of Mercantilism doesn't have the same ring to it

#

sad

pliant ruin
#

dragon of corporations

mighty zenith
#

sacrifice just means giving up something you value for something else

north wigeon
#

Dragon of Consumerism

mighty zenith
#

or offering something to a deity due to religion

#

not even necessarily killing

#

just offering

sturdy current
#

dms?

north wigeon
#

true

#

so from this i would assume he's kinda whatever

wheat walrus
mighty zenith
#

sacrifice isnt blatantly evil, unlike smth like
gluttony

north wigeon
#

some good some bad

wheat walrus
#

After dinner maybe

jaunty wraith
#

Obviously there are evil gods like Providence and the ones who made up the corruption/crimson

north wigeon
#

yknow what maybe yharim was right actl...

jaunty wraith
#

But to lump them all in to that category to justify your killing them... Yharim's one to talk about "compliment in genocide"

north wigeon
#

can we slay the god of capitalism and stop it irl

warm gull
#

dragon of communism

pliant ruin
jaunty wraith
warm gull
#

dragon of communism turns into the god of authoritarian dictatorships because the domains are adjacent

jaunty wraith
#

Probably one of the evil gods that make up the world evils

warm gull
#

why didn't yharim just slay the god of authoritarian dictatorships and delete the concept of authoritarian dictatorships from existence is he stupid

#

actually what the fuck does a domain even do

#

domains don't vanish when the god who holds it dies

#

and it isn't like there are any set rules for what a conceptual domain lets you rule

#

so like

#

wtf does a domain even do

jaunty wraith
#

Probably like imperialism, there's no way there wasn't infighting within the gods

#

They're gonna end up stepping on each other's toes eventually

warm gull
#

and for most gods, killing the dragon and ascending deleted the dragon's domain and replaced it with a new one, so there is just a bunch of domains that are empty now

#

like seriously

#

what the fuck does a domain actually mean

sturdy current
livid bobcat
#

Ok so

I'm planning to run a ttrpg game (problably warforger or a more rules light system) based on Calamity lore, set right before yharim inducted calamitas into his war.

Any tips or advice? Notable events around that time/lore I should emphasize or understand better?

#

I can handle the mechanics and gameplay, but I want to know more about what the world was like at that time

north wigeon
warm gull
#

but-but the free makret... 😔

north wigeon
#

CEOs blabbering about the economy while i drive a blade into their stomach

jaunty wraith
pliant ruin
#

Also azafure's destruction would've happened then

mighty zenith
#

it depends at what point before her recruitment

#

cause it either means azafure is still standing or its gone already

pliant ruin
#

Illmeris's incineration was a good while after that so i imagine either Yharim hadn't waged war with them yet or the war had only recently started

hoary berry
#

i wish i was in a writing mood because earlier today i had what i think were a few really cool scenes regarding the build up to my terrarian's battle with yharim

#

but my brain doesn't fancy putting any of it down on paper or in a doc

warm gull
#

calamitas was only part of yharim's crusade for the very VERY end of it

#

like

#

it was going on for 50 years at the least most likely

pliant ruin
#

yeah

#

she joined really recently

warm gull
#

and she was only a part of it for 2

livid bobcat
#

I might change or adjust some lore to fit dnd, especially with things that are left vague

pliant ruin
#

inb4 they meet calamitas before the brimstone elemental awakens

livid bobcat
#

How old was she then, do we know?

pliant ruin
#

wow what a joyous family! i'm sure those brothers must love their little sister alot! i hope nothing bad happens to them!

pliant ruin
#

there's no single canon age but

#

according to some dev statments probably like, 12 or something

livid bobcat
#

Noted

#

Is there a time gap between that and yharim coming in to recruit her

#

None of my players have any knowlege of terraria or calamity whatsoever

mighty zenith
#

it was probably a couple of days, if i had to guess

pliant ruin
#

After the incineration i'd imagine she joined yharim's army almost immediately

#

yeah

livid bobcat
#

I wanna see if I can make him a twist villain of sorts, the pcs just come from ignorant rural backgrounds

mighty zenith
#

maybe his scouts came in to look around what happened and found her

#

then they brought her to yharim

livid bobcat
#

Or maybe make him so that they start sympathetic to his cause/working for him?

pliant ruin
#

they wouldn't know about the crusade?

livid bobcat
#

Or they would only know what yharim wants the populace to know

pliant ruin
#

yharim is the king of propaganda mansplaining gaslighting so honestly its very reasonable for them to not immediately realize he's a genocidal maniac

#

there'd probably be propaganda everywhere making it seem like hes a hero

livid bobcat
#

That's what I was thinking yeah

mighty zenith
#

except in god-ruled places

livid bobcat
#

That's the goal

cloud ibex
#

i was about to say he'd probably have golden statues of himself in azafure but

pliant ruin
#

no that's right. he would.

cloud ibex
#

honestly i feel like he'd more likely not in favor of something like statues of dragons

pliant ruin
#

okay yea. he would.

#

that's even more like him

cloud ibex
#

cause that would make him seem more humble or whatever, putting his own idols (the dragons) above himself

livid bobcat
#

I guess I'd need to know

#

What would the average life of someone living in or around yharims lands be like?

#

Assuming they aren't soldiers

#

Farmers, mercenaries, merchants and the like

pliant ruin
#

I'd imagine there'd be alot of surveillance to make sure nobody opposed his ideals in some way

#

Those that did fully believe his ideology probably had very good lives

mighty zenith
#

think like nazi germany honestly

#

maybe with less just overall terror on average people

pliant ruin
#

Those that were suspected of not believing them though probably were not doing very well

mighty zenith
#

but a TON of oppression on specific groups

pliant ruin
#

USA

#

but replace ''white straight guys" with "yharim followers"

livid bobcat
#

Do we have any idea how many people lived under his rule

#

I know in the tale of a cruel world music video said millions die bit That's old lore I think right

cloud ibex
#

i don't think we do but we have rough a rough dev estimate for how many people died during the crusades

#

think the number ended at 120 million at the highest

graceful otter
#

iirc current crags are just the outskirts, so do with that how you will

mighty zenith
#

yeah azafure was... quite huge

livid bobcat
#

What was azurfures relationship with yharim before that?

mighty zenith
#

their government was 100% on his side

#

he says they asked him to champion their anti-god cause

livid bobcat
#

Interesting

livid bobcat
#

Tbh I imagine yharim as very lex Luthor ish

#

Powerful, manipulative, controlling, has a vendetta against inherently powerful beings that he believe are undeserving

random mulch
#

also bald

fervent quest
#

he can't hide it from us

livid bobcat
#

Lol

#

Difference being that while Luther opposes a good man and has monetary power, yharim opposes Grey to evil beings and is also physically powerful

random mulch
#

gods arent just grey to evil, they can be good

solar wharf
#

there were good gods

livid bobcat
#

Like silva right

#

We're any other named ones good

random mulch
#

otonilou

livid bobcat
#

What's the lore there?

mighty zenith
#

the goddess of electricity and one of the illmeris gods

#

she's described as benevolent

livid bobcat
#

Interestinf

#

I should problably study up the lore doc

#

Is all that found there

mighty zenith
#

should be

hoary berry
#

everything but dev statements can be found in the main lore doc

mighty zenith
#

since its in-game info

livid bobcat
#

Where can I find dev statements if anywhere

solar wharf
#

you mostly ask here

#

i dont think there is a doc for it

hoary berry
#

if i ever need to find one i just ctrl + f in this channel and spoiler talk

hoary berry
graceful otter
#

stipulatevenus usually reveals the most info, and interacts the most here, though cei2279 and hagurihat has also revealed lore. theres a couple more writers, and other devs that are closely involved with it (like the artsists) who sometimes reveal, but thats very rare

#

usually all dev statements are in this discord tho

pliant ruin
#

otonilou was described as a saint and tyrian was also benevolent and the hallow exists

#

providence is evil as hell

#

slime god is ??????????

#

silva is also ?????????

#

so yeah gods aren't really defined by a specific moral allignment

graceful otter
#

@livid bobcat just one thing. you dont need to follow the lore 1:1, nor do you only need to pull from it. its fine to make your own stuff, as long as its realistic within the world

livid bobcat
#

Right, I just wanna stay mostly faithful since that way there's less to keep track of

#

I'll fill in gaps where things are vague and unknown though, having things up to interpretation is something I like, but players like answers

#

I tried homebrewing a bunch of lore for a one shot and it crashed and burned so bad lol

trail zodiac
hoary berry
#

scal is just an oddly shaped despair stone

pliant ruin
#

my headcanon is that yharim is actually joe biden

mighty zenith
#

something canon cant be a headcanon

thick slate
#

old man

#

yharim should run for president

#

hes the right age

random mulch
#

the ripe old age of "going to collapse any second"

unborn anvil
#

Im ngl I feel like nobody would want to oppose Yharim if he ran for president

#

Like if I was running for president and my opponant was wearing presumably armour made from a Gods soul I'd just walk out

random mulch
#

they'd be afraid that he would cave their face in

mighty zenith
#

so basically armstrong

warm gull
#

Hey at least yharim is literate

unborn anvil
#

Wait was it Draedon who ended up not talking to Yharim or did Yharim just get too afraid of Draedon

random mulch
#

yharim got really fucking pissed at draedon and stormed out and draedon kinda didnt give a shit

hoary berry
#

and then yharim came crawling back for that exo upgrade

pliant ruin
#

yharim kicked draedon out and then draedon was like "ok" and kept doing the same things he did before

#

the chad draedon vs the virgin yharim or something like that

thick slate
#

build robot

#

inventor of exo mech

#

inventor of autism

unborn anvil
#

Y'all think Yharim wakes up daily to 50 notifications from Draedon, of the same repeated message for the past 20 years

random mulch
#

draedon didnt give the slightest shit that yharim didnt want to talk to him

unborn anvil
devout grotto
#

Is there a specified number of years since Yharim started his reign or not?

pliant ruin
#

yeah no draedon just didnt care in the slightest

unborn anvil
devout grotto
#

Kind of curious about it

pliant ruin
#

anyways i don't think there's a exact clear time ? but

#

the crusade lasted for a really long time, almost 100 years iirc

#

yharim started it sometime around his 30s if i remember correctly?

random mulch
#

yharim's old as hell

pliant ruin
#

and now he's over 100

mighty zenith
#

yharim's reign start. of

pliant ruin
#

somewhere around 100-110

#

and he's gonna die soon of old age so

mighty zenith
unborn anvil
#

If Yharim used Whatsapp 😂
No messages from anyone as they've blocked him, Draedon not giving two shits about Yharim ignoring him, Terrarian trying to ask for his coordinates (Yharim doesnt know how to use a phone, give him a while to figure it out and thats why hes not a fightable boss yet)

mighty zenith
#

and if he's in his 130s rn

#

then its been like 90-100 years

mighty zenith
devout grotto
#

Alright, thanks feelsgreat

unborn anvil
pliant ruin
unborn anvil
#

Calamitas would keep sending him death threats daily

pliant ruin
#

braelor and statis would have matching pfps also

unborn anvil
#

True lol

random mulch
#

xeroc's pfp would just be white

devout grotto
#

Oh yeah one more thing, is there a timeline of events?

#

I kinda wanna have something to follow through too

random mulch
#

draedon spilled some beans about a timeline but a lot of the specific details arent known

devout grotto
#

Alright then

livid bobcat
#

A timeline would be so nice

livid bobcat
thick slate
#

we know the rough order of events

#

but not when they occured

livid bobcat
#

Is that visualized anywhere

thick slate
#

dont think so

livid bobcat
#

Rough

hoary berry
#

your best bet is probably draedon dialogue

#

that's where most of our dates are from, if not all

#

other timeline information lacks dates and is more vague

devout grotto
#

Gotcha nothoughtsheadempty🗒️

frozen zodiac
unborn anvil
#

She straight up acknowledges the fact that she'd be killed if she tried the second one

#

Also theres no forgetting for her, victims of abuse don't exactly like forget their abusers

frozen zodiac
#

yeah that was poor wording on my part...

#

maybe she just doesnt like to think about him

sturdy wing
#

so like uh

#

what is providence supposed to be

#

is she like

#

a moth

hushed geyser
#

A rock

#

The rock

#

Zee rock

#

Zeroc

#

Xeroc

#

It's all coming together

thick slate
#

fire rock

warm gull
#

deep rock

sturdy wing
#

so like shes just a flaming rock

#

like what is her anatomy im so confused

cloud ibex
#

flaming rock moth with roots and a crystal core

pliant ruin
#

She's not really a ''natural" creature as with all gods, so

#

Tho tbf not all gods look as bizzare as her, some like Silva barely change from their pre-ascencion form

#

But then you have someone like slime god that just turned into a weird ball goop creature after ascending

#

so

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

thick slate
#

xeroc got turned into a symbol

pliant ruin
#

xeroc got turned into a voice that talks to you during boss rush and then gives you a rock

#

🙏

warm gull
#

xeroc is the sun

unborn anvil
#

I just like the idea that Xeroc does have an ascended form but it's just a formless entity

#

Literally just a hitbox

untold bluff
pliant ruin
#

That might be the case yeah

#

Providence is a evil bastard so

#

But slime god probably isn't and they're like

#

a ball

#

so idk whats up with that

humble folio
#

Is there art of ascended Silva?

#

Or is she just, the roots of the abyss hellyes

pliant ruin
#

Ye

#

It's in the official concept art thinjgy in pins

humble folio
#

Holup

#

In the lore pins?

pliant ruin
#

ye

#

.

#

a bunch of official character art here

frozen zodiac
#

i really like the ocean ones

humble folio
#

Nice

sinful adder
#

Silva looked like a human mostly, with plant stuff, basically like the dryad

#

Then she got torn to pieces and thrown into the abyss like the Greek titan

stray falcon
sinful adder
#

I think the human-ness is related instead to how much your soul conflicts with the dragon soul

stray falcon
#

wait what did Slime God do before Yharim’s crusades?

#

If the slime god contains the corruption and crimson to keep the world in balance, what did it do before those biomes existed?

#

Did slime god just exist neutrally and then took up the job of balancing shit after it noticed crusade thing?

pale mango
#

Is calamitas British?

#

Serious question

gusty zenith
pliant ruin
#

Real answer: She might have a british accent but she also might not

#

My answer:

#

NO SHE ISNT LEAVE HER ALONE

pale mango
#

Also, what even is the ravager, is it like some homunculus of war?

pliant ruin
#

a dead god

pale mango
#

Oh

#

Let me guess, yharim?

pliant ruin
#

one that's been brought back to life but in a really crappy way so it's barely functional as a living being now

#

and all it can really do in terms of Functioning is killing things

pliant ruin
pale mango
#

Makes sense

pliant ruin
#

we don't know much about ravager (aka god of sacrifices) before being revived

pale mango
#

Oh so that’s what they were the god of

pliant ruin
#

they do kind of just kill things right now but keep in mind that's because. well. it's kind of a husk atp

#

it's plausible that GoS might've not been evil while alive

pale mango
#

What’s the lore behind drsgonfolley?

#

Dragon

pliant ruin
#

though currently we just don't have enough info to know

pliant ruin
#

it's kind of just a really strong species of wild animal

#

It dosen't have the same auric souls that dragons had

gusty zenith
#

They're just like descendants right?

pale mango
#

Oh, so like those alpha PokĂŠmon from legends arceus

pliant ruin
#

relatives more so but yeah

pale mango
#

So dragonfolley is just “big strong birb”

pliant ruin
#

basically

gusty zenith
#

Just like PokĂŠmon bigsmile

pale mango
#

I have a feeling if there was a video explaining all the calamity lore in a way anyone can understand, it would be several hours long

#

Probably like 4-7

gusty zenith
#

Probably like an hour at most honestly

#

it's not like reading a storybook or novel

pale mango
#

Also what’s up with the biome blade?

#

Like why does it exist, who made it, and how does it do the things it does?

pliant ruin
#

kind of funny to think there's a entire species of giant bird creatures in the jungle that are seemingly canonically stronger than:
-every single elemental minus silva
-moon lord (which to be fair, he's weakened, but even then)
-plaguebringer goliath, which is a bio weapon of mass destruction that singlehandedly is spreading a killer plague throughout a biome

pliant ruin
pale mango
#

But like the broken biome blade

#

Any lore there?

pliant ruin
#

no not really

pale mango
#

Oh

pliant ruin
#

its just a funky weapon

pale mango
#

So who’s Silva

#

All I know is they died

pliant ruin
#

goddess of life and also the nature elemental

pale mango
#

And their remains get spread around the world

pliant ruin
#

she's technically not dead because she's immortal

gusty zenith
#

I think they have something to do with the abyss right

pliant ruin
#

but she's also currently uh

#

Unavailable ™️

#

she got ''killed" and her body was dumped in the abyss

gusty zenith
#

Like it's their territory?

pliant ruin
#

so right now she's technically

#

dead

#

but

#

not really

pale mango
#

During making a world, one of the test popups says “spreading silva’s remains”

pliant ruin
#

because her body will reconstruct itself eventually. it'll just take. some time

#

her consciousness is still there, it's just that she dosen't really

#

have a body

#

give her like a decade and she'll be back to normal probably

gusty zenith
#

A decade is pretty fast in terms of history

pale mango
#

So is like nameless deity canon?

pliant ruin
#

no

#

no addons are

pale mango
#

Ok

#

I mean not being canon makes sense for infernum

#

It’s just a gameplay mod

pliant ruin
#

addons are fanmade so

pale mango
#

Although it does add that thing in the bottom right of the world

pliant ruin
gusty zenith
#

Yeah

pliant ruin
#

She's the reason the abyss is so

#

quote on quote

#

''alive"

#

like realistically such a deep enviroment wouldnt support anything beyond like

gusty zenith
#

it's spooky o.O

pliant ruin
#

tiny fish and crabs

#

but thanks to silva's existence it can actually have like

#

big stuff

#

and a more active ecosystem

gusty zenith
#

big worm..

#

Jared..

pliant ruin
#

she's also the reason jared is jared

#

kind of

#

primordial wyrm was already Really Strong due to being. well. The oldest eidolon wyrm on the planet

#

but it got Stronger because silva adopted it as her pet goldfish blessed it

pale mango
#

So what is yharims status?

pliant ruin
#

Alive

pale mango
#

Should we call the police to do a wellness check?

pliant ruin
#

He's just kind of depressed

pale mango
#

Oh

pliant ruin
#

But he kind of deserves it so

sturdy wing
#

did very bad things

pliant ruin
#

yeah

pale mango
#

I think his parents died at a young age, right?

pliant ruin
#

some very bad things

sturdy wing
#

but also he likes bees so :))

gusty zenith
#

Who exactly is the choir speaking to in Stained Brutal Calamity ?

pliant ruin
#

that's old lore

pale mango
#

Oh

#

Ok

#

What’s the new lore

pliant ruin
#

barely canon

sturdy wing
#

wait like what all did he do? like i know he killed gods and stuff but it was lowkey desereved

gusty zenith
#

huh

pliant ruin
#

because the lyrics were built for old lore and stuff

sturdy wing
#

i think

pliant ruin
#

deserve it

gusty zenith
#

I assumed it was like a narration of what is going on currently

pliant ruin
#

he commited genocide

#

on the gods and their people

#

regardless of whether a god was benevolent or not, he killed them all the same

sturdy wing
#

I mean they totally killed the dragons though

pliant ruin
#

yeah but

#

that's not necessarily bad

gusty zenith
#

devourer is not a cool dude

pale mango
pliant ruin
#

this is overwhelming

sturdy wing
#

why is that?

pale mango
#

Not once is there a word

gusty zenith
pliant ruin
#

where are my fellow lore nerds ot help me out here

gusty zenith
#

they have lyrics ...

pliant ruin
#
  1. Not all dragons were good
gusty zenith
eager bluff
#

yharim has a flawed perspective

pliant ruin
#

there's alot of people asking questions

#

and i cn't keep up

pale mango
#

This lore is epic

sturdy wing
#

its ok dawg im gonna go play deep rock galactic

#

rock and stone

pliant ruin
#
  1. The dragons didn't get genocided in the same manner gods did: There wasn't a single group of people who organized to kill them all
#

Different people, most of which didn't even know eachother, killed dragons for their own personal goals

eager bluff
pliant ruin
#

Whilst someone could've killed a dragon for a malicious role, someone lese might've had a good reason to do so

pale mango
#

I might need a refresh on some of the newer lore

languid badge
#

Is calamitas more of a wizard, a warlock, or a sorcerer

pale mango
#

Devourer of gods, he was a space worm, all I know

pliant ruin
#

Dragons basically going extinct is bad

#

But you shouldn't blame every god for it because some of them were straight up good people

pale mango
#

I think DoG was involved with yharim and his genocide

gusty zenith
#

Yea he isn't a nice dude

rose swan
#

Did dreydon kill any god? Or he so strong bcuz of german science or smthg

sturdy wing
pliant ruin
#

He's just a engineer

#

not a fighter

pale mango
gusty zenith
#

and a robot I think

pliant ruin
sturdy wing
#

draedon is actually so epic

pliant ruin
pliant ruin
#

Noxus is an actual canon character in calamity mod

pale mango
#

Oh ok

pliant ruin
#

But Noxus from WOTG is

#

not that Noxus

pale mango
#

Ok

pliant ruin
#

it's another character entirely

sturdy wing
#

noxus is like the god of what exactly

pliant ruin
#

he's not a god

gusty zenith
#

Remember addons aren't canon

pliant ruin
#

he's. something

sturdy wing
#

oh

pale mango
#

Ok but is the freaky EoC resource pack canon?

pliant ruin
#

he's from the distortion and he's really powerful and nobody knows jackshit about him

#

also DoG is working for him

calm patio
#

that resource pack is shit

#

whoever actually made it should be beaten with hammers

gusty zenith
#

Wait DoG works for someone or something? I thought he was like a selfish solo kinda guy

pliant ruin
#

yeah

#

DoG works for Noxus

gusty zenith
#

interesting

#

does that make Noxus even more of a douche than DoG or is it just DoGs personality

sturdy wing
#

he would prob never admit to that though

pliant ruin
#

He's selfish in the sense he dosen't give 2 fucks about yharim or his crusade or his hatred for gods he just joined his army because it means he gets to eat divine essence and get free armor

sturdy wing
#

i would like to think noxus is the ultimate edgelord

gusty zenith
#

do we know what bosses might be coming in the future of the mod or is that unclear

pliant ruin
#

ye

sturdy wing
#

do yall think divine essence is tasty

pliant ruin
#

-yharim

gusty zenith
#

something to do with a subworld?

pliant ruin
#

also maybe xeroc and noxus

#

but they're only a Maybe ™️

eager bluff
sturdy wing
#

we have the design for xeroc though! at least his first form

gusty zenith
#

oh yesss

sturdy wing
#

hes just a guy lowkey

#

nothing like wotg

pliant ruin
#

it's pre-ascencion xeroc yeah

gusty zenith
#

what's the name of that place dog comes from again

pliant ruin
#

distortion

calm patio
#

im pretty sure thats the concept art of xeroc

gusty zenith
#

yeye

pliant ruin
#

noxus lives there, storm weaver also comes from there, signus can seemingly enter that place at will

gusty zenith
#

is it true we might be getting a distortion subworld or something?

pliant ruin
#

ye

gusty zenith
#

:o

eager bluff
gusty zenith
#

that's so cool

sturdy wing
#

wait so is statis more powerful than the slimegod which they worship? because like we know that brelor and statis hold yharim to a standstill, and slime god is prehardmode so

#

whats the deal with that

gusty zenith
#

I always make my messages on the fence by using the words might so I don't sound like an idiot when I'm wrong :]

pliant ruin
#

statis was more so just supporting him

#

but tbf

sturdy wing
#

oh is he there for emotional support

#

good on him

pliant ruin
#

it's not like statis (or onyx kinsmen in general) worshipped slime god because it was strong

#

so

gusty zenith
pliant ruin
#

i think its plausible that statis was legit stronger than his own god

pliant ruin
sturdy wing
#

that would be CRAZY

eager bluff
#

statis is stronger than slime god yes, but still worships it because of its role in protecting the balance of nature

sturdy wing
#

oh holy moly

#

so its like his baby :))

pliant ruin
#

yeah the onyx kinsmen worshipped slime god because of its role/moral compass not because of its strenght

#

becaues being real here for a god slime god fucking sucks in terms of power

#

he got like the shittiest soul of them all and he also actively makes himself weaker

eager bluff
pliant ruin
#

for a god

#

he's def still strong generally speaking

eager bluff
#

oh i edited that out of my brain

pliant ruin
#

but for a god he's like, one of the weakest if i had to guess

gusty zenith
# pliant ruin turning into a god

Would that mean having pre ascension version of a character mean "so imagine this but as a god or something" lol im not entirely sure what that means here

eager bluff
#

one of if not the weakest

pliant ruin
#

like

#

when they were a human

eager bluff
#

or elemental in silvas case

pliant ruin
#

or a fish person in otonilous case

#

when they were a generally humanoid sapient creature

gusty zenith
#

Does that mean we will be seeing that in-game or is it just for lore purposes?

languid badge
#

Why is braelor considered sivas champion doesn’t paladin fit their description better

pliant ruin
#

probably just for lore

visual kiln
#

biome

gusty zenith
#

Oh ok

pliant ruin
#

hiiii aza,,,

visual kiln
#

omg haiiiiiiiiiiiii

#

helloo

pliant ruin
#

hihihih

gusty zenith
#

sned help !!

pliant ruin
#

devs probably wanted to use the term champion because it's more encompassing

#

calling statis a ''paladin" wouldn't make much sense

languid badge
#

Fair

sturdy wing
#

statis is a healer totally

#

he a combat MEDIC

#

Crimulan slime champion

pliant ruin
#

i meow in her dms sometimes

eager bluff
visual kiln
pliant ruin
#

can u confirm aza

sturdy wing
#

wait what is Brealors statis currently

#

isnt he dead

pliant ruin
#

statis is alive

#

braelor is also alive but inside the distortion

#

statis is chillin though

#

well

#

maybe not chillin

#

given his boyfriend is stuck in the distortion

#

but he's alive

sturdy wing
#

i thought statis was the one who struck a deal with signus

eager bluff
#

and missing 2 of his limbs

sturdy wing
#

woops

pliant ruin
#

ye

#

he did

visual kiln
pliant ruin
#

he traded a arm and a leg (literally) for getting out of the distortion

#

so now hes in the overworld and has prosthethics

#

braelor is still in the distortion though

gusty zenith
#

is the distortion kinda like the upside down but for calamity ech

pliant ruin
sturdy wing
#

why diddnt he trade all of his limbs to get his bf out to

#

silly stais

pliant ruin
#

i like to imagine it was a faustian bargain

#

like

#

statis thought braelor was gonna get out too

#

but signus was like

#

nuh uh

#

and only got him out

#

it'd fit in with statis actually asking you to kill signus

#

which is planned

#

because statis will give you quests and the final quest apparently will be to hunt down and kill signus

sturdy wing
#

I like to think that signus thinks dog is so cool so he copies his cockiness

#

just a little goof

pliant ruin
#

thats a funny headcanon i like it

sturdy wing
#

ty!!!

pliant ruin
#

signus is #1 devourer fanboy and also the only damn person in the cast that actually takes him seriously because nobody else does lo

languid badge
sturdy wing
#

so is ceaseless void like a fly??? they have like bug wings

pliant ruin
#

He hasn't been in there very long

pliant ruin
pliant ruin
#

The sprite is just kind of weird

#

probably being changed whenever CV gets its inevitable rework

sturdy wing
#

oh... so he isnt like a guy? its just a thing???

pliant ruin
#

yeah it's just

#

a portal

#

not sentient

#

or well

#

alive

sturdy wing
#

that can attack you?

#

for some reason?

pliant ruin
#

i like to think it isn't actually attacking you

#

it'sj ust like

sturdy wing
#

just eating

pliant ruin
#

a chaotic portal full of unstable energy

sturdy wing
#

bro is HUNGRY

gusty zenith
#

I think ceaseless void was created by dog since the portals he creates are super unstable or smth

pliant ruin
#

i kind of wish it wasn't a boss tbh because ''attacking" a potal is weird

gusty zenith
#

yeah

pliant ruin
gusty zenith
#

I don't like that boss fight either

sturdy wing
#

it predates dog i belive

gusty zenith
#

oh

eager bluff
#

dog claims he made it but hes bullshitting

gusty zenith
#

why is he a servant then?

gusty zenith
#

I didn't know

pliant ruin
#

DoG tries lying to yharim saying ''yeah i made that" but yharim is like "no u fucking didnt" and dog is "no man trust me i totally did" and yharim just goes "fuck off"

eager bluff
pliant ruin
#

old lore stuff

eager bluff
#

they're related by their connection to the distortion

pliant ruin
#

noxus was most likely the one who made ceaseless

#

it's much more advanced compared to DoG'S portals which are like, unstable and temporary

sturdy wing
#

also cv is like his hunger sw is because he a worm and signus is because hes edgy

#

i think

languid badge
# pliant ruin To be fair

I mean
Once all their needs are taken care of in the short term it becomes much easier to survive long term

gusty zenith
#

I've watched a whole deconstruction of the DoG themes and I've been now told it's all outdated 😭

languid badge
#

Anyway I want us to get to yharim and it turns out he’s been suffering from schizophrenia in the later years of his like

pliant ruin
#

one of dog's best character traits is that he LOOOVES manipulating people

#

....but he sucks at it and everyone calls out his bullshit

gusty zenith
#

true

pliant ruin
#

literally nobody takes him seriously itys so funny

#

hes so stupid

#

well ok hes not stupid

gusty zenith
#

Does that mean he lied when he called me delicious when he eats me z_staredown_cry

pliant ruin
#

all things considered hes very cunning

#

but like

sturdy wing
#

yeah but yharims a little bitch boy and decides to hire him to eat gods anyway

pliant ruin
#

hes so arrogant he probably dosent even realize how terrible he is at lying

languid badge
pliant ruin
#

dog has a massive paycheck

#

or well

#

had

#

while in yharims army

#

whils this is obviously a funny joke quote

sturdy wing
#

what would he even use money for

pliant ruin
#

i like to imagine yharim hadning out paychecks to his employees

sturdy wing
#

he has no arms

pliant ruin
#

and then when he gets to dog its just like

languid badge
sturdy wing
#

do you think he just threw the gold in his gaping maw

pliant ruin
#

"please just take the money and leave i don't want to see your face for more than 5 seconds"

#

"i'm not proud of how much money i have to give you every month. i hate how good you are at your job. fuck you."

sturdy wing
#

I mean he is very good at his job

#

just a prick

pliant ruin
#

he is very good at it he kind of saved yharim from dying that one time

#

hes just a dick

sturdy wing
#

he did?

pliant ruin
#

yeah

#

statis and braelor

#

they like

sturdy wing
#

when the flizzy did that happen

pliant ruin
#

almost killed yharim

sturdy wing
#

OH

pliant ruin
#

probably would've killed him

#

but then dog ambushed them

#

and sent them to the distortion

gusty zenith
#

DoG was like nom

sturdy wing
#

how can you ambush someone when youre a giant fucking WORM

gusty zenith
#

you come out of the ground idfk

sturdy wing
#

dog!! destroy my enimies!! and my life is YOURS

pliant ruin
#

after this Incident yharim went to his ex after years of not talking to him to ask him for a cooler set of armor

pliant ruin
sturdy wing
#

true

gusty zenith
#

true ye

pliant ruin
#

this was like the most recent event in the lore i think

sturdy wing
#

yharim is just like kratos if you think about it

pliant ruin
#

because after this yharim asked draedon for his exo armor and him and yharom flew away to the aerie

#

and then the terrarian showed up

#

so braelor has been like

#

less than a month in the distortion probably

sturdy wing
#

is it true that auric armor has to be like tuned so like the armor that the terarian uses is like working against them?

pliant ruin
#

ye

sturdy wing
#

thats actually lit crazy

pliant ruin
#

yharim can wear it cuz

#

hes attuned to yharon

#

the terrarian can use it cuz

sturdy wing
#

wait it has to be attuned to someone?

pliant ruin
#

he makes a ''mock attunement" using soul fragmnets

pliant ruin
sturdy wing
#

how does auric armor work

calm patio
#

put it this way

pliant ruin
#

dragons have auric souls so to wear auric armor you need ot be attuned with a dragon

#

or do it like the terrarian

calm patio
#

yea

#

that

pliant ruin
#

where u mock attune it to the souls fragments to make the ore think you're attuned

sturdy wing
#

oh

#

but isnt yharon dead??? or does he canonically come back to life everytime

#

the whole rebirth thing

calm patio
#

yharon comes back every decade

gusty zenith
#

Ah

pliant ruin
#

yharon is immortal yeah

calm patio
#

doesnt matter if yharon is dead, yharim will still be attuned

pliant ruin
#

unless someone consumes his soul which

sturdy wing
#

oh ok

pliant ruin
#

probably isn't happening

#

given everyone who knows how to do the ritual is like

#

dead

gusty zenith
#

good for him then

pliant ruin
#

or is yharim

#

which

#

well

#

you know.

#

well. there's silva and xeroc but

sturdy wing
#

so soul fragments are like, soul leftovers?

pliant ruin
#

i don't think. they're gonna tell you or anyone else how to do it.

pliant ruin
sturdy wing
#

so what you're saying is

#

if I fight yharon enough

pliant ruin
#

yharon still has his soul, its just that some tiny flakes of it were lost and u use those to make the auric stuff

sturdy wing
#

i can become a god

eager bluff
#

no

sturdy wing
#

damn

calm patio
#

you dont know the ritual

pliant ruin
#

yeah you need the ritual

#

which only xeroc, silva and yharim know out of the Not Dead people

#

yharim isn't gonna tell you for. obvious reasons

sturdy wing
#

I see

pliant ruin
#

silva is kind of .unable to tell you even if she theoretically wanted to right now

#

xeroc probably wouldn't tell you either

sturdy wing
#

is xeroc like a prick too

#

or is he like cool

pliant ruin
#

i doubt he's too happy with the fact he kind of kickstarted the extinction of dragons, even if it wasn't his intention

#

we don't know much abt xeroc rn

#

but

#

he seems pretty chill.

sturdy wing
#

he seems to be chillin right now

#

i mean as much as you can be while youre a symbol in the skye

pliant ruin
#

yeah

#

he seems like at best a good guy and at worst just kind of neutral

#

doubt he's actually a bad person

sturdy wing
#

do you think he actually expected the terrarian to beat boss rush so he had to rummage around his creation pile and then he just gave him a useless rock

#

"uh... yeah i got something right... here! a rock! for you!"

north wigeon
#

"uhhhh why is the rock important? it's um, the FIRST rock! the first thing i made actually"

sturdy wing
#

20 bucks it is NOT

spring helm
#

it's actually an anti-yharim rock and you need it to beat yharim

rotund shore
gusty zenith
#

Oh btw, respawning isn't a canon mechanic right?

north wigeon
#

hell yeah Dwayne Johnson's gonna kick some yharim ass

north wigeon
north wigeon
rotund shore
#

It’s a rock from the dragon aerie that Xeroc took because uh fuck you

north wigeon
#

lol nice

gusty zenith
#

Wild

#

considering how many times I've fallen into the devourers stomach that does amaze me

rotund shore
#

The terrarians strength is…confusing

spring helm
#

Where even the stone refused the course of time, there sat a monk

#

xeroc gave you the rock he sat on

rotund shore
spring helm
#

it's got his monk print on it

north wigeon
#

oh right
nameless version

#

pretend God himself is

#

the weaker new light god

rotund shore
#

Tbh I haven’t made any Headcanon for the terrarian, despite the fact that’s kind of the entire point of their character in calamity

sturdy wing
#

guys what IF!!! the terrarian is actually somehow a desendant of yharim and he has some part of yharons power and THATS why he can respawn /j

spring helm
#

no way yharim had sex

#

i refuse

sturdy wing
#

yharim totally banged dude

north wigeon
rotund shore
#

Yharim gave aroace vibes to me

pliant ruin
#

i dont rly have a headcanon for my terrarian

#

because its just a self insert

#

:p

gusty zenith
#

find it funny how usually birds eat worms and yharim hires a huge worm that eats gods in a war

pliant ruin
#

well

spring helm
#

Cheese Calamity

gusty zenith
#

wait is he a birb

rotund shore
#

I remember one person had the lore for their ranger playthrough be that the terrarian was a lifelike robot made by draedon for the sake of research, which I quite liked

gusty zenith
#

i just assumed

rotund shore
gusty zenith
#

Oh dang nvm

spring helm
#

Lesbianing her way to killing Yharim

sturdy wing
gusty zenith
#

I assumed yharim was a birb like yharon

north wigeon
pliant ruin
#

nah hes just a guy

gusty zenith
#

He's just a guy?!

pliant ruin
#

yeha just like

rotund shore
#

A like 9 foot tall guy but yeah

pliant ruin
#

a really strong guy

#

yeah

gusty zenith
#

Okay that's

#

really not what I expected

pliant ruin
#

yeah he's just a dude

#

big sword dude

sturdy wing
#

do you guys this yharim is stress eating right now

spring helm
#

Yharim
Race: guy
Power: Built Like That

pliant ruin
#

has cool armor

gusty zenith
#

Sounds cool

sturdy wing
#

he totally is

#

poor guy

north wigeon
gusty zenith
#

I fw sword people

north wigeon
#

has yharim ever tried to throw hands with xeroc i wonder

sturdy wing
#

i dont think he can reach him

#

hes like in the sky

#

and is a symbol

rotund shore
#

I imagine yharim has contemplated it, but without his army, he’s aware he wouldn’t stand a chance

north wigeon
pliant ruin
#

anyways my terrarian is literally just my self insert so she'd probably just be really protective of calamitas to the point it'd probably make calamitas really confused and she'd get braelor back from the distortion and bring him to statis and pay for their date together because she loves seeing gay people being happy

pliant ruin
#

also she'd throw the tax collector in lava

sturdy wing
#

do you think yharon would ever sacrifice himself to yharim so he could consume his soul and beat xeroc

rotund shore
spring helm
#

that is antithetical to everything yharim stands for

rotund shore
#

Yharim not absorbing yharons soul is like a key part of his character

pliant ruin
#

yeah yharim wouldn't accept it

sturdy wing
#

yeah but like

#

what IF

north wigeon
gusty zenith
#

awww

north wigeon
#

my girl is getting Pampered after all she went through

rotund shore
#

If he did absorb yharons soul, he could probably throw hands with Xeroc and win

gusty zenith
#

she needs a hug

spring helm
#

because xeroc did that

rotund shore
#

True, Xeroc has been training for awhileee

sturdy wing
#

maybe possible to beat noxus

pliant ruin
#

i'm gonna build cal a house in the snow biome alongside or next to perma's

#

i feel like cal would like the snow biome. she just has the vibe of someone who would like the snow + her dad is there

gusty zenith
#

I actually wanna do that after I do that fight yeah

rotund shore
north wigeon
#

i planned it all out

rotund shore
#

Permafrost seems like a massive homie

pliant ruin
#

he's probably like

#

the cool uncle

#

literally and metaphorically

gusty zenith
#

I have too many people in my astral-snow biome to do that 😅

north wigeon
#

he's So nice to be around

sturdy wing
#

why did he even joined yharims army

pliant ruin
#

he probably didn't know the actual goals of it or something like that

#

like

#

keep in mind

gusty zenith
rotund shore
#

Honestly, at the start, yharims goal wasn’t that horrendous on paper, some gods ARE evil

pliant ruin
#

yharim started out killing evil gods as a way to convince people that he was a good guy

rotund shore
#

But clearly yharim went too far

pliant ruin
#

so permafrost probably thought

#

oh i'll help this guy get rid of the evil gods!

#

then he didn't stop at the evil gods

north wigeon
gusty zenith
#

Yeah she actually favours the forest

pliant ruin
#

i do think its important to note that yharim most definitely didn't like

rotund shore
#

There’s uh, provi, but he didn’t even kill her

pliant ruin
#

start out good by killing evil gods and then was corrupted by power or whtaever

rotund shore
#

Plenty of gods we don’t know about in general, though

pliant ruin
#

yharim was bad from the getgo, he just started with the evil gods because

#

well

#

propaganda

sturdy wing
#

why diddnt yharim kill providence?

#

shes like

pliant ruin
#

he tried to

sturdy wing
#

a major bitch

rotund shore
pliant ruin
#

but she's sneaky yeah

north wigeon
pliant ruin
#

she's literally like

sturdy wing
#

shes a FLAMING ROCK

north wigeon
#

by his own biased logic all gods killed a dragon so every one of them is evil

pliant ruin
#

shows up
kills thousands of yharmy soldiers
disappears

sturdy wing
#

what is sneaky about that

rotund shore
#

But yeah if yharim could get his hands on provi she’d be as good as dead

pliant ruin
#

he wasn't corrupted, he just wanted to start with the evil gods because it'd be easier to make people believe he's good if his goals seem good initially

rotund shore
#

I wonder how long he and yharon just brainstormed that shit

pliant ruin
#

yeah yharim, for how terrible he is, is incredibly good at manipulating others

#

it's scary

sturdy wing
#

does she like turn her fire off then whenever shes in range she does her fireball bullet hell

north wigeon
rotund shore
#

Yharim is honestly an incredibly smart person, on top of his physical capabilities

pliant ruin
#

she probably shows up out of thin air

sturdy wing
#

and he likes bees!

pliant ruin
#

sort of like a flame just

#

manifesting itself

#

and then when shes done killing yharim's soldiers she just

#

disappears much like how she just showed up, like a flame being extinguished

north wigeon
sturdy wing
#

thats so metal

#

also annoying

pliant ruin
#

yeah yharim basically calls her annoying

sturdy wing
#

fuck providence im with yharim on this one

pliant ruin
#

provi is like

rotund shore
#

Yeah provi IS evil

#

Her goal is to basically just destroy everything

pliant ruin
#

singlehandedly the only character in the entire mod thats you could make a case for being as evil as yharim

#

she's a evil mf

calm patio
north wigeon
sturdy wing
#

dragonfolly gotta be evil dude

rotund shore
#

Yharim had atleast any amount of logic to the madness, provi is just evil very very evil

sturdy wing
#

theres something about him...

north wigeon
#

i just assumed most of the extra structures minus the shrines and the draedon labs and the planetoids to be inf xd

sturdy wing
#

something about IT...

rotund shore
#

Although yeah yharim is probably more evil just since he actually did all the things

pliant ruin
#

you could make a case for both

north wigeon
pliant ruin
#

using the same exact sentence

calm patio
pliant ruin
#

ON ONE HAND
Provi wants to kill everyone and not a specific group, so she's more evil
ON THE OTHER HAND
Provi wants to kill everyone and not a specific group, so she's not as evil

pliant ruin
#

you could literally make a case for both sides with the same exact reasonings

north wigeon
sturdy wing
#

if provi actually started going through with her whole burny plan she would prob be stoped by yharim within seconds

pliant ruin
#

tbh she kind of has started her plan already

#

her cult is like

#

massive

sturdy wing
#

nothing sneaky about burning stugg

pliant ruin
#

she's the only god left that has an actual following

#

if the terrarian hadn't killed her she could've legit been a massive threat

#

since yharim is more or less inactive by the time of the game

sturdy wing
#

does yharim like the terarian

pliant ruin
#

provi is imo the next worse thing

#

because

#

-incredibly evil motivation
-powerful
-has an actual massive following to back up her plans

#

most other characters lack atleast one of these traits

rotund shore
#

My brother once described yharims current state as thanos in avengers endgame

#

Which I feel is accurate as shit

north wigeon
#

nah dawg i'm just not gonna tussle with xeroc

sturdy wing
#

why stop us?

north wigeon
#

we're homies like that

sinful adder
#

She isn't powerful enough to burn the entire world on her own or she would have done it already. Her followers however, they can help

sturdy wing
#

he doesnt really have a reason to

north wigeon
#

obviously

pliant ruin
#

she's slowly building up an army

sturdy wing
rotund shore
#

Provi essentially has an army at her disposal, which seemingly next to nobody can say at this current state

#

I mean, yharims army seems pretty gone

pliant ruin
#

she could've legit started another crusade if she wasn't stopped by us in enough time

rotund shore
#

After we killed provi what are the cultists doing

sturdy wing
#

crying

rotund shore
#

Just, sitting around?

sturdy wing
#

i hope

north wigeon
#

he's kind of mostly done

sturdy wing
#

fuck provi

#

i hate fighting her

north wigeon
pliant ruin
#

I imagine that after you kill provi

#

canonically

rotund shore
#

I’m still coping that we get tyrant yharims’ ultisword as a yharim drop, I need it to return!!

sturdy wing
#

do we get to steal yharims stuff after we kill him clueless

pliant ruin
#

all of the provi cultists/followers that turned themselves into profaned creatures die off

#

because well

#

the source of their power is gone

north wigeon
north wigeon
pliant ruin
#

the cultists that remained human probably are still out there

sturdy wing
#

really hard

#

especially in infurnum

pliant ruin
#

but without their goddess they will probably decrease in numbers through the ages and eventually the group as a whole will probably die out

north wigeon
#

i keep getting carried in smps lmfao
even in infernum which you REALLY shouldn't be doing mp

sturdy wing
#

do you think at somepoint the terrarian would gain like a cult like following? is that what all the npcs are?

north wigeon
rotund shore
#

I wonder how much of the general public even know about the terrarian

north wigeon
#

cuz some of the npcs CLEARLY don't give a shit abt us

sturdy wing
rotund shore
#

Since the terrarian only stays on like, a pretty small island of this planet

north wigeon
pliant ruin
#

kind of funny that like

#

everything ends up happening in this one continent

rotund shore
#

Also even if some stuff the terrarian does is important, such facts couldn’t be learnt by most

rotund shore
pliant ruin
#

to be fair

north wigeon
#

oh what's over there? oh it's just vanilla terraria

pliant ruin
#

you could argue that alot of the bosses and characters came to the continent because of the terrarian to begin with

#

like

#

i think ti's reasonable that draedon's big lab probably is somewhere else

north wigeon
#

true

pliant ruin
#

and there's probably draedon things all throughout the planet

rotund shore
#

I kind of assumed draedon has a big ass lab hidden underground far far away

sturdy wing
#

I think by the time fovos is dead news has spread about the terrarian pretty damn far

pliant ruin
#

and i think it's fair to say provi or DoG per example probably came here specifically because of you

sturdy wing
#

because like thats a world level threat

pliant ruin
#

but at the same t ime

sturdy wing
#

everyones gonna know if fovos returns

pliant ruin
#

it's funny that we just so happen to be on the continent that:
-illmeris used to be in
-azafure used to be in
-the astral meteor falls in
