anyone doing anything cool rn
lorewise ofc
nothing much lol. im just looking for a distraction
tryna see if anyone had any interesting lore to share
i feel like ive talked about most of the obvious stuff thats available with people already
ive always found the different gods interesting
they offer complex arguements depending on if youre for or against them
id honestly love to hear what your take is
All I'll say is that this relies on quite a few assumptions
The hottest take
hi cei
Erm achualy
yharim kinda sucks fr
There's more
i wont even sugar coat it
he genocided everyone
not just gods
to me, he kinda hides his genocidal side under a false sense of heroisism
claiming that hes doing it for the dragons
im not truing to argue
but im just like
sharing my own perspective
Yknow you're right when talking about gods in a sense, but not all gods were like that as far as we know, that's Yharim's flawed assumption and definitely one of the assumptions Cei pointed at
Still
Yharim was justified in starting a war given what was done to him, but he was not justified in taking it anywhere near as far as he did
That's my take
This is my take on this statement
Sadly, we don't have much material about gods besides Yharim's takes, but the little we have quite notably implies that not all gods suck honestly
The dmmaxxer
bro
He doesn't yet
that ignores all possible naunce
Pretty sure he's slowly reading the doc right now, think he mentioned that earlier
Rn he forming takes with what he sees
Which is fair
Yeah
Sorry, but I don't really accept dms from people I don't know that well
why cant you just ask here
this is lore discussion channel and you are hesitating on discussing lore
Share with the class. Us lurkers need food

assumign you're talking to me
Writermaxxed
i didn't "leave them out" it's called soemthing being work in progress
why did u say clueless here

they're not there becuase they aren't done yet becuase it is waiting for other things people work on to get done
wait then
it's like saying we "left out" yharim
cei make braelor like ants and my soul is yours
It's time to wait I'd say
(do it fr)
just drop a massive incomplete spoiler into this channel what could go wrong 
im begging you
Learn the lore way
welcome to lore lol
development had been admittadly kinda slow lately
its like waiting for a new berserk chapter fr ong
you dont think about it until it comes up and immediately your day is better
Crazy
cant wait to date yharim
there's a lot im waiting to drop for sunken sea overhaul for example
popcorn do you have that pic of braent
Silva doing her thing is what allowed the brimstone crags to exist
i need my best pfp back
so there's one god that's not evil
me when bestiary (unbiased and omnicient)
What cient?
Huh
huh
i saw what you deleted
What did I see

This badass cat 12k years ago
No
who let him cook
i mean like
we dont know that the dragons were good
personally
id kill a dickhead dragon to become a good god
Even yharim himself says that nobody knows what happened between Xeroc and Zeratros.
It is quite possible that since Zeratros was dying and his power was going to be lost forever, he wanted to pass his power on to someone he trusted (Xeroc).
like that shrek meme with the frog
What if the dragons couldn't uuhhh respawn due to moonlord and big head dragon (forgor his name) kinda willingly let xeroc sloorp his soul? And yeah maybe that caused some bad actors do it with unwilling dragons... and some that see it as complete bullshit and a major L (Yharon) who spreads only his biased side?
Just a lil cracklurk theory
lore discussion is looking like a solid 3/10 rn
lore discussion is as good as always
what if the whole war was a complex event where each side had its own reasoning as to why they did certain things, similar to the Cold War where it was much less people being morally wrong/right
...
That last line of prelude especially
One mortal, sworn to the service of the Dragons, rose in determination to save their virtuous King.
Xeroc approached Zeratros with the intention of saving the dragon's life.
Considering that Xeroc was the first god, it is possible that Zeratros taught him the ritual to ascend. Perhaps it was a secret that the dragons kept in case a situation like this ever occured
let kaya cook
ok but like
have you ever read the rock's tooltip
the world is morally grey at best
you literally get xeroc's entire reasoning for ascension
God I cooked so hard with that
rebecca
true
Me and Cei
speaking of the rock, did you know that the wiki editors added the recipe for the boss rush t5 music box as well as the monolith way too early???
I refined it and had the initial idea but she made the content
xeroc ascended because the dragons frankly weren't capable of defending the planet and that was demonstrated very plainly
You're THE CHEF❗
personally I just like killing people imo tbh tbf imho iirc
plumg
this is why I pick Yharims side cus I can kill more people as training before killing the stronger people
who are the people on the same side as me
braelor better
hiiii :3
did you know that the yharmor allows yermes to fly without wings
perchance
perchancen't
you must not know about the ant army...
pusheen just said hes in another dimension..
braelor is in the distortion
Braelor is stuck in distortion and statis is free
no
Here's one interpretation of it:
It says "even the stone refused the course of time". This implies that on the Dragon Aerie, nothing ever changed. Ever since the dragon came into power, however long ago that was, the world had remained stagnant.
The monk is obviously Xeroc, who I think is currently deliberating on the ascension ritual and whether to perform it.
The line "Who dared to question history and stare into fate" tells me that Xeroc is the first person in history to have the power to change the status quo and have a desire to do so.
i ran out of inspiration im going to eat watermelon now
summertime watermelon is always good
it literally says that he sent both to the distortion but ok
statis struck a deal with signus or escape the distortion some other way according to the yhar
anyways did you guys know that sepulcher gains extra health in rev+
braelor is stuck in the distortion
braelor is stuck in distortion and will be an npc
You're mistakemaxxed
omni you havent even seen 75% of the times ive told people this
the rot consumes
i dont think DoG even eats
Don't care
the devs literally have no idea

Distructor of Guys
bro cant even eat a god
i mean he could-
erm devour doesnt necessarily mean ea
ok but what doesnt dog lie about
This implies DoG can kill the guy who at one point was physically stronger than Yharim 
Eater of Worlds doesn't eat worlds guys
Guys
dev confirmation, braelor's stronger than yharim
left
🥳
been waiting on that one
"An entity of many titles and reputations, it is easy to conflate the truth and myths of its many legendary deeds. Though Yharim once believed that the essence he devours is utterly and completely erased from existence, it is a fundamental rule of creation that energy cannot be destroyed– it can only be transferred from one form to another."
oh man i sure hope this line isnt alluding to anything
lmao Yharim again believing incorrect things
Though Yharim once believed that the essence he devours
cant believe this
devours ❗❗❗❗
the destroyer doesnt actually destroy
Yummers
i think this one was true actually
destroyer destroys your npcs regardless of whether you die to him
easiest mech boss
But yeah no I'm not even going to entertain this idea because this was exactly one of the things I hated the most in Old Lore
skeletron prime is the destroyer, always blowing up my arena
DoG is a liar, but you can't be called "DEVOURER OF GODS" if you didn't, y'know
Kill several Gods
ok but like
why arent the exos' names displayed as what the terrarian thinks they are called like the regular mechs
is there a lore reason
one of the unfortunate cases of an annoyingly arrogant person being justified
bro calls me kid
draedon specifically names them before you summon
I believe the leading theory is that dog sends the god essence he gets to the distortion for his boss noxus
so that it doesnt happen again
he did that with the normal mechs too
draedon when the twins
i dont think we ever talk to draedon until post-moon lord
😦
Dardon
ok but draedon did name the hallowed mechs
nuh uhhhh
he was just worse at naming when they were made
why did draedon name skeletron prime that
yeah but the terrarian didnt know them
i meant draedon tells the terrarian the exo-mech's names before you fight them
like did he specifically know about the random old man cursed at the dungeon and name it after his curse

oh gotcha
aido have you seen draetalk
I personally like to believe Old Man came after Skeletron Prime
aido has indeed
so it's actually Skeletron Origin!?!?!??
why does his curse look exactly like the bigass robot that drae made
cuz its funnier that way
The Cultists and Yharim were friends
right
ok but like what if we didnt abide by draedon's exo names and named them wrong again
what would we call them
skeletron neo
uh ares would be uhhh
Destroyer maximum
megatron
And I think the visage meant to evoke horror and fear known for torching civillians would be a very effective deterrent from people trying to invade the Dungeon 
MEGATRON IS AMAZING
megatron is a transformer
the twins (again)
reusing is just lazy
EYEBALLS OF OMEGA DEATH
calamity au where the terrarian names everything
the synchronic spectators or something idk
dumb and dumber
well, now i know what i'm including in my fanfic
fun thing is Draedon is right there watching you fight the Exo-Mechs
he'll get to see you name them in real time
draedon likes to watch
draedon tells us the real name and we just keep calling them our dumbass ones in forced ignorance
to assert dominance
"I killed it so I get to name it"
ah
the year is 1900 or something, draedon has made a new trio of mechanical creations
"skeletron gamma, the annihilator, twins 3"
the thrins
when are we getting the wall of steel
when andromeda comes out
2nd phase starts, Twins arrive
"These two are Artemis and Apollo. They are designed to work in tandem by-"
"Gasp! It's like the Twins but stronger!!! Their names must be Rocket Rammer and Ocular Opposition, the Super Twins!!!"
"I hate you."
andromeda was that scrapped draedon fight right
peak fiction
"the big guy's name is ares, his arms were rigorou-"
"skeletron neo"
"how foolish. you cannot escape"
you know why doesnt draedon always enrage ares-
mfw enraging is a game mechanic and not lore based
calamitas and the terrarian are like mordecai and rigby. i wont elaborate
"This one is Thanatos, the most heavily armoure-"
"I see... That body plan... It must be the Scourge of Devourers!"
"THEY'RE NOT EVEN REMOTELY RELATED YOU PIECE OF SHI—"
ok but how am i supposed to be immersed in the game if draedon fights inefficiently
I feel like calamitas is too edgy to fit either one
Isn't Ares' Enrage literally just increasing the size of the beams?
ares' enrage makes him attack faster
very carefully
Canonizing enrages is impossible so don't care about them 👍
but he has infinite energy-
You could say that enraging drains his unlimited batteries faster or smth idk
rip night prov again
she dead
No they have an explanation for night prov I think
They just get mad 
adrenaline but for bosses
night prov lore reason getting dropped once yharim comes out
also why doesnt draedon just constantly keep skeletron prime in the mode that instakills and takes no damage
skill check, if you can't land a hit on the boss in a certain amount of time they'll deal 250% more damage
skeletron prime can be enraged until the next night energy is not a concern
Rebecca can you please explain the intricate lore reason for why calamitas summons a giant floating square for the fight
Game mechanics!!
so tracers have a purpose for existing endgame
actually speaking of soul energy do the souls just degrade as their energy is siphoned, ripping apart one's very being-
get hotboxed
I like to think she summons a fire barrier you can't escape of
or am i overthinking this
calamitas is an undertale fan
also if thats the case then does the soul feel the pain of being ripped apart slowly
Yall should make like a solid version of living fire blocks and use those as the arena border or smth (actually idk it might be better for visibility)
you know soul energy is very dark
Just fly high enough 
Spherical barrier
Rip
omni can you calculate the power level of scal suddenly manifesting that many terraria blocks worth of volume instantly
Idk
we'd need to find their 3rd dimension size and their density before calcing anything
3rd dimension size can just be assumed to be a cube ig
assuming she only generates the blocks we can see, 632 cubic meters of
block
idk the density
idk
no that's not how it works
1 block is 2 ft wide, or 0,6096 meters wide
really?
assuming they're as wide as they are tall, just do 0,6096 x 0,6096 to get the 2dimensional surface area of one block
i thought it was a meter
3m tall terrarian...
so, 0,3716 m2 per block
however we'll assume it's 3d so lemme change that rq
okay so, assuming that the 3-dimensional cube calamitas makes is 159x159x159, according to my calculator that makes 100,488 blocks
oh wait
that'd be 0,0513 cubic meters per block
my bad im missing 2 more faces
yeah that'd have to be accounted for
but I was mainly looking at individual blocks
do this multiplied by the amount of blocks, 632, and you get 32,4216 cubic meters of blocks
assuming that each of the blocks we see has a 3rd dimension
but it also assumes that it's still a square and not a full box
okay so added the last two faces of the cube if the arena was 3d
2(159x159) + 2(159x157) + 2(157x157)
149,786
correct my math if i'm wrong
so a 3d box arena would have 149,786 blocks
55,660.4476 cubic meters
multiply by this ig
okay then
let's just make a rough estimate
the arena block kinda looks like brimstone slag
makes sense thematically since Calamitas uses Brimstone magic
of course brimstone slag isn't exactly real
so i'm going to substitute it with a real life mineral that kinda fits
Good day lore dwellers
gypsum is a soft mineral that contains sulfur and has a density of around 2.3 g/cm^3. Granite has a density of around 2.5 2.8 g/cm^3 and is much tougher so this is a lowball.
converting our units, that's 2300kg/m^3
so Omni's 2d calculation of the arena would amount to 74,569.68kg of blocks.
Using Einstein's famous equation of mass-energy equivalence, that's 6.7x10^18 kilojoules of energy which is about 1601 megatons of TNT
hello
So in order to instantly fabricate 74,569.68 kilograms of blocks, you need 6.7x10^18 kilojoules of energy??
Megatons
so for the energy needed to make a 159x159x159 box of gypsum
2300kg/m^3 * 55,660.4476 cubic meters
128,019,029.5kg of gypsum
which has an energy equivalent of 1.15x10^22 kilojoules or 2,748,565.97 megatons of tnt
Kilojoules
Megatoning out right now
Holy moly
2d to 3d conversion, big stuff
Those are 2,7 tnt teratons, so Small Country Level easily
Omni what power level is 6.7×10^18 kJ
Pretty sure Large Mountain
holy shit guys
Our favorite part was when scal said it's megatoning time
Tsar Bomba was 50 megatons
we push calamitas into small country level!!!
City Level+
Kaplooey
58 megatons actually
Is this more insane than boiling the ilmeran sea???
(by the power of inaccurate speculation)
City buster 
The ilmeran sea was at least 5,8 Teratons
Ya
damn
To be fair creating matter from nothing seems harder than boiling water
Yea
making an arena pushed calamitas to replicating half the power of her greatest feat
but calamitas can summon infinite numbers of these arenas
well tbf this is just the energy that that much material is equivalent to
making and shaping likely requires much more
Mass-energy conversion
It's fucking insane to me that matter is just like
really really dense energy
and vice versa
if you try to pull apart two quarks (which really really don't want to be separated), the amount of energy added to the system to overcome the strong force will generate two new quarks to bond to the originals
And it's weird that it requires so much to change a tiny piece of matter into energy and that it reacts so violently
anyway now we get a canon reason as to why calamitas is stronger in Legendary difficulty
the arena is smaller so she spends less energy creating it
If you work with mass-energy conversions for creating matter, then creating a gram is city level. That's a Hiroshima bomb
Hiroshima bomb is town level, not city
Slight difference in title, notable one in scaling
Right
Hello lore chat
What do we think of my new take on eidolon wyrm (normal guy, not the boss)
whael
that is a shark or a whale
well anatomically sharkish
But got whale inspiration for the head
It's a sea reptile that's convergently similar to whales
Just like whales (sperm whales in particular) he eats colossal squids
that's WHAT similar?????
They unwormed my wyrm
true
Can’t have shit in Calamity
eidolon whale
Looks pretty cool
But I feel like it fits more as a separate creature than as the eidolon wyrm
Then again, I guess that’s just what “new take” means
It also sorta looks like a Leedsichthys from ark
makes me think more of livyatan
I sorta see what you're saying though
I still think that troodon's new wyrm is mad peakin
It is cool yeah
I just dunno if it looks wyrmish
Wyrms have been kind of a hot topic recently
And worms for that matter
wormlamity lol
My wyrm was inspired by sperm whales
This is correct
Because I imagine they feed on colossal squids
Wait I already said that
Dementia
dementdon
peak
I think it'd be nice if the colors were a little more on the bluish side kind of like the old sprite though
I prefer ghostly blue EW over the dark black rocky one
atleast in terms of palette
i mean it was literally ghost leviathan but it was still a cool palette
but that's probably just my preference anyways
I tried to diverge from blue colors because I think there's already a lot of blue things in the abyss
More color variety is appreciated
Tho I think the body still can be more colorful, yeah
I kinda wanted to to that with ornaments but wasn't able to execute it just right
a bit late but fixed now
yharim after warcrimemaxxing for 100 years and then getting carried by DoG and Draedon after fighting the actual goats (Braelor and Statis)
Tho I suppose something like that can be better
what does this creature consume
yeahhh this is awesome
your mother
squibs
my mother is a squid...
Hi 🧀
hi akari
If all the exo mechs are named after Greek gods, does that mean the Greek pantheon is canon
I think it is not wyrmy
It was not meant to be
Frankly I want to make his body a bit longer but I can't due to app limitations
But it won't affect his body plane much
He's still whale
Cool design but I would make the leviathan look like that and have the wyrms be, well, worm-like
Nope
The god of death does not exist
I'd make leviathan more serpent like
Since, well, leviathan is a sea serpent
From the Bible
there was a dragon of death
the god of sacrifices took his soul
or was it the god of the sea
can't rember
sea is my favourite form of death
(it's the god of sacrifices)
sea god's dragon is not known yet
Dragon of ambiguously sized water areas
Also when I make designs from cal, I usually try to stay away from the current design points and try to move forward and be innovative, while keeping theming and/or just general idea
wyrm dosen't even necessarily have to mean worm
its a fantasy creature, semantics dont rly matter at the end of the day
I kinda think that current cal has a problem of sticking to old ideas and concepts too much
Mostly just HPU stuff, really, tho not only
like
greatwyrms in dnd
they arent even serpentine
or wormlike
theyre just big ass dragons
There's not much innovative force
No, they're just cool af names
and again its a fantasy creature so it dosent rly matter tbh
i think the newer designs have been rly innovative but i kind of see what you mean though its mostly to do with some of the like
semi-recent but nto actually too recent side of things
ravager's redesign is so god damn good
like i think it's important to acnowledge that alot of the time it's not just the sprite that's outdated, it's the design too
polterghast's resprite would've not been anywhere near as cool as it seems like it will be if we got a sprite of the same level of quality that kept the plantera looking design
real
like
we have 3 space worms and 2 of them are incredibly similar design-wise
wouldnt it be cool if one of them was de-wormified
or atlesat just given a significantly more distinct design
deus being dewormified has been a popular idea from what ive seen but may i add that i think weaver could work for it too
the only issue would be that it'd make yharim seem unreasonably stupid for thinking its the same species as dog but thats just a minor thing that can be changed
i dont mind the worms outright, but being too similar is an issue
vanillamity's take on deus is still a worm in some sense but it's a lot more distinct compared to DoG & weaver
With cal's relatively arbitrary domains I wouldn't even be surprised 😭
technically 4 if you count cosmic guardians
wouldnt be surprised of cosmic guardians god removed with the DoG rework
why would he need them with that size increase
i honestly wonder how the fight will look like with DoG actually being the size of DoG and not just a slightly larger Storm Weaver
i hope the rest of DoG's body isnt just purple generic worm
I literally can't imagine how a worm fight would work at that scale
Would be cool if those were like background attacks
which is a good thing cause that means the devs are gonna need to be creative
kinda like Inf Ares
Oversized exo beams
I think dog will have much fewer segments to account for the fact that its head is like the size of moonlord
indeed, DoG will have less segments
DoG
Unsegmented dog
DoG rework is gonna be like, massive right
absolutely enormous
iirc i saw a post here showing DoG ingame to be the size of like, yharon
the terrarian is like the height from 1 jaw to another if we talk in game no?
iirc
based off that it sounds bigger but not that much bigger
this is going to be DoG's actual size in game compared to the current in game
complete and utter big boie
All that size increase just to get gapped by the 5’ Calamitas

starlight river lore items
AURORACLE : 1) Is worshipped by the squiddites race, this race never shows up ingame, probably died out
- we can make the guess that it is not a god since it has to channel aurora light just like the empress of light, who is not a god
- literally in the same general are as draedon and the archmage, might be worth mentioning somehow
VITRIC DESERT : 1) was a part of illmeris
- has a forge in it indicating that is was somehow industrial
- is located above the sunken sea, might have something to do with it surviving?
- is tended to by the glassweaver, and at some point by ceiros ( or atleast the temple in the center of it was )
- might have been created by the glassweaver as far as we know, probably unrelated
I thought is calamity lore? This is star bridge liver mod
would this work?
i mean im thinking of how starlight river would fit into calamity lore
I beat starlight river master medium core easy
Am very good at terria
ok
ok
sorry
GLASSWEAVER : 1) is ancient as far as we know, and is some sort of an glass insect so that might explain it
- might have worked under the two gods that lived in the sea, that being the god of electricity ( Otonilou, dead? ) and the god of the sea ( Tyrian, alive in the sunken sea, atleast i think from the spoilers )
- lost control of the forge at some point, so there were probably more like him
- there is crystal in the sunken sea already so we could add that the crystal in the vitric desert would have been special in some way? i mean they have glass like properties
just wanted to add that in
CEIROS : 1) damaged sentinel that now guards the forge, might have been damaged in the destruction of illmeris
i dont know what else to add to ceiros maybe that there were more sentinels protecting the area?
i mean the whole vitric desert is still a desert, so it must have been attacked by calamitas
not necessarily
it's not like the desert above the sunken sea is canonically the only desert on the continent
the desert above the sunken sea was attacked by calamitas, the vitric desert is above the sunken sea
tgey're both dead
otonilou and tyrian
thanks for the info
anything else i got wrong
like it wouldnt make sense in calamity lore
don't think so
i dont know how to expand on the auroracle lore though to be honest
The Auricle
it has to be from the perspective of yharim and all
yeah in a temple
could just be a surviving creature from illmeris or something idk lol
how would it get into the underground tundra biome?
i mean there is an extinct race connected to it
some people see this weird squid beast and theyre like this must be a sign of GOD and they start worshipping the squid beast even though its literally just a random creature taht dosent understand what anything these people are saying mean but they give it free food so it dosent care
oh yeah to the vitric crystal it has the property of channeling starlight
i forgot to add that
i think thats a concept people should explore more
Is it ok to write up a lore on already dead god
i mean it channels aurora light soo
yk because theres so many gods
people worshipping something but said something is actually just a random ass creature that dosen't understand why these people worship it but it gets free food and water so it dosent care
it happens in real life too but i dont see it often in media
but we only see 2 and a half god in the mod
i dont see why it wouldnt
if you want to lol
i mean from the perspective of yharim it would be like " an ancient beast, now abandoned in its place of worship "
i really dont think it was from illmeris, but i agree that it is just some random ass creature, since it attacks you after you give it food
also in starlight river there is water in the tundra
i think it was like some ancient beast of a former time, frozen when the tundra first formed
discovered by an underground race that thought it was their god
" ancestor of channeling magic "
might have been one of the reasons archmage lived in the tundra i think?
it is said to live in " impossibly cold waters "
like i think it could have lived in the ocean that then got frozen over or something
but since all lore items are from yharim perspective i think ill just say that it was discovered frozen
" remaining specimen of an ancient species capable of channeling aurora light in their hunt "
if you want to write a yharim whisper item you gotta make yourself sound very self righteous and pretentious
and if its a god you have to insult it somehow
but i dont think the squid is a god in this case
i dont think it is a god
and i think it was worshipped as one, so i dont know how yharim would think of the worshippers
like they found an ancient beast that predated magic, built a temple around it, and worshipped the unthinking thing
and permafrost studied it for inspiration or something idk lol
Why not have him insult the Squiddites then? He insults the Lihzahrds for worshipping a false god, although they did make it after their actual god was killed so it's a bit different
yeah he'd probably insult the squidditees
yeah he probably would to that
anyways how would the squiddites have gone extinct?
i mean draedon would be one anwser, but it could have been idk some natural cavein since they pretty much lived underground
most of their shrine things are underground except for that one all the way at the top
i doubt draedon would go out of his way to make a entire species extinct, if anything i imagine he'd oppose that unless it was something he deemed necessary
Since it seems like the Squiddites have gone extinct, he'd probably say something about how their "foolishness" led them to not only worship a relatively weak creature as if it were a god, but also led them to extinction
He'd probably want to preserve the existence of said species to further discover things about it
so they probably died out naturally
okay that works great
so the lore item would have to mention
" remaining specimen of an ancient species capable of channeling aurora light in their hunt "
" discovered by a underground squiddite race, which deemed it a god "
" their foolishness in such led them to their inevitable demise when dealing with such an ancient beast "
and there would be something like
uhh
what would he say about us defeating the thing
i mean its an ancient beast which learned to channel " primordial light ", something simular to the giant clams using magic
and yharim does value queen bees
Not sure if he would like Auroracle nearly as much as bees
bees
The thing isn't that he exactly values bees that much
that's just kind of a meme
it's more so that he despises exerting control over others and he laments draedon doing that to a queen bee, leading him to pity them
so would he say something like " such beasts should remain relics of the past ", or something like " such foolishness should be avoided " or something
i would say something like " such is the fate of fools who think better of themselves " but the squddites really just sort of worshipped the thing, i dont know if they got anything out of it
i mean there is randomly scattered aurora glass in the tundra, but thats about it
the beastiary entry is this : "An aquatic titan that stalks the impossibly cold waters behind its temple, channeling the light of the aurora into powerful magic to hunt its prey."
just thought i would mention that
What’s the most extreme atrocity Yharim committed?
skeletron prime
burning people alive completely fine by yharim
What I mean is like the most disastrous act he has done
I don’t think Yharim would insult people because they worship a false god
He doesn’t for Astrum Deus
golem
i guess
That’s because their original god left
Iirc he says Deus isn’t sinful
Exactly
Astrum Deus isn’t a real god so he doesn’t hate it
The lihzahrds created a false god to replace their old one
There is a minor difference
i think the other reason could be because they tried to make a temple for an ancient predator?
like
Nah, he views them as foolish
He doesn’t see golem as a god
I think
something like that
Golem isn’t a god, but the lihzahrds used to have one
Iirc he only hunts gods that consumed auric souls
That’s likely why he doesn’t like them
So why does he hunt slime god then
Because slime god is a real god
" What a sad, piteous thing. Truly, a mockery in every sense of the word. "
It absorbed an auric soul
Really?
Because it’s an attempted replica of a god
I thought it was some being that formed a long long time ago
anyways i dont know how to conclude the auroracle lore
Yharim hates gods because to become a god, you have to absorb an auric dragon’s soul, which kills them permanently
true
I see now
Astrum Deus is sinless because it’s just some random animal that people started to worship because they saw it eating stars
I thought there were ”pure” gods too, that just exist
Which is kind of similar to the squid thing you were talking about
At least iirc in the old lore slime god just existed
i think i might add a detail that they fed auroracle to gain a piece of its aurora light, which explains the aurora glass
And created all slimes
if you know they died of another reason
Yharon’s dead before you fight Yharim
Yharon will reincarnate, but that will take years
Ah
i love how draedon basically explains the reasons of a fucked up worldgen
I haven’t read all the lore
in the planetoid log
It’s nice to read the lore bits
what god would you be if you somehow consumed yharon's soul?
i think its "the rebirth god"
Yharim has very mixed morals
Genocide - perfectly fine
Slavery - how DARE you
better end their misery than make them have more
Unless you fulfill some specific thing that is still unknown for now, gods do not gain the same domain as the dragons whose soul they consume
Fair ig
It would be related, but different
If said like that
Slime God absorbed the auric soul of gluttony
The god of sacrifices absorbed the auric soul of death
How about providence?
dragon of flames i think
Providence is such a cool boss, looks just sick
The only two examples of gods whose domains exactly match their dragons are Silve (life) and Xeroc (primordial light)
maybe like a "resurrection god" where instead of you being reborn, you make others reborn
its almost similar but not quite
Maybe the god of cycles
or god of attempts because everytime you die, you respawn stronger (this did not make sense 😭)
I loved bumblebirb, wish they’ll make it a pet item from Yharon or Dragonfolly
Birb goes hard
i think there might be one in calamity vanities (idk)
I have it
Haven’t seen one
or maybe not
About wrath of the gods, is nameless deity Xeroc like some people say or is it just literally God
It’s based off old lore (before the from the ashes update) xeroc
Who was just, a nigh omnipotent god of light created by other lesser light gods becoming one
It’s also why it kills noxus at the end of the fight
nameless deity is not current lore xeroc, but it is inspired by the older iterations of xeroc
everything else typhoon said I'd say is correct
why not give him a name so hes no longer a "nameless" deity anymore?
the mod for nameless deity isn't official
it's fanmade
okay i somewhat formed a lore item thing for auroracle i think
besides it was one of the calamity devs who requested for Nameless to not have Xeroc's name since that would cause a lot more confusion
i know but
AURORACLE
- " the remaining specimen of an ancient aquatic species capable of channeling aurora light in their hunt "
- " discovered preserved in ice by an underground squiddite race, which would begin worshipping it as their god "
- " they would present offerings to their false deity in exchange for parts of its primordial light in the form of shards,
which they would construct their shrines and temples out of " - " in the end, their foolishness led to their inevitable demise when dealing with such an ancient beast "
- " the remains of their now bygone civilization stand as a testament, to those who think they can bend the ancient forces of this world to their will "
i just want to name a nameless deity
here is what i got
just call him John
they probably just want to keep it nameless deity because it sounds unknowable and cool and stuff
like theoretically it probably has a name its just that we dont know it and cant comprehend it or whatever
not really happy with it to be honest
nah im calling him "joe" for no reason
wish theres a mod that makes you rename any bosses
Wrath John
any feedback on the auroracle lore?
John Wrath
john terminus
John "Of Gods" Wrath
or john eternal garden
interesting take
i feel it could be improved a little but i just cant put my finger on it
i mean especially the shard part
i dont really feel its necessary
nvm im gonna call him "max"
but then again
i will officially be calling nameless deity "max" from now on...
do you have any problems with it?
if this mod exists, i will rename draedon to spongebob
and rename his mechs to
ares to squidward
thanatos to patrick
artemis and apollo to mr krabs and plankton
draedon to steve jobs
draedon to "rusty gamer"
wheres the krusty krabs
no this is patrick
only second to xeroc when he was at his prime
current moonlord is well
current moonlord level
but at his prime for all we know he's only second to current Xeroc
still doesn't get past Country Level rn 
since the ashes update, is most post moonlord bosses on par with moon lord? (providence and polterghast are mose likely)
one saibaman low diffs moonlord
not a big problem, but i still don't see why yharim has an issue with the squiddites worshipping a false god.
Unless of course you mean for Yharim to dislike the Auroracle's existence due to its ability to use Primordial Light, something that he sees as only Zeratros should be able to. Then he would dislike the squiddites in turn for worshipping it.
If that was the case, then I'd add a little section comparing the Auroracle to the dragons. Something like "Only the dragons were worthy".
no diffs actually
this is so goofy mane
I'm the powerscaler guy
i meant prime fovos
nah its yamcha
yes
the tiny explosion that took out yamcha during the saiyan saga would unironically destroy anyone in calamity
I'm not kidding when I say that one saibaman is at least moon level unironically
it's so goofy
im powerful
cheese you will disintegrate
no im strong
imagine spending 600+ years building the exo mechs only to get turned to exotic ashes by a saibaman
i mean auroracle uses aurora light, which i guess is simular to the primordial light empress of light uses which im pretty sure is different from the one the dragons use
Anyways is there any concept art for fovos?
no
Also I noticed moon lord doesn't have his own lore item just drops the requiem
and its not like he has a problem, but its just objectively stupid to worship a beast and not expect it to you know
oh yeah btw #lore-discussion message
for calling moonlord and fovos
Alr Imma assume he's moon lord with legs
easy enough comparison
Master Roshi blew up the moon during the 21st budokai tenckaichi. Goku and Piccolo would both far suprass that by the beginning of Dragon Ball Z. Then Raditz easily gapped those two in raw strength. Saibamen are all Raditz level.
i think the "prelude" explains how the dragons almost got killed by moonlord (or did i read the lore wrong?)
blowing up the moon from that distance can be calced up to large planet level 🙏
let that slide
speaking about powerscaling, is mosquito human level? it can hurt a human a bit.
idk doubt
my favorite vanilla boss has absolutely no meaningful contributions to cal lore and has only like 2 lines of lore
:(
i'm human level
wait no
Is providence evil?
I will kill you is what providence would tell you
nah the beams keep their strength until they disappear, no drop in power fr. Toriyama told me from beyond the grave
and she would do that
Who's that
empress
what boss?
empress of light is just providence copied
but tbf every vanilla boss minus moon lord is kind of meaningless
she wouldnt even say it
relogic stole providence idea
yes
she'd just kill you
she'd do it
btw, how does the terrarian scale? (based off the bosses it has beaten)
if providence had a bible it'd just be the lowtiergood speech over and ovre and nothing else
yamcha level max
only has high AP, no destructive feats
Calamitas solos
unironically yamcha would destroy every calamity character
country level at best

If you think about it the moonlord is injured because we kill the cultist before they can fully heal him
id destroy yamcha
as of now
the cultists aren't healing ML
what if the empress of light is the elemental of light?
hot waifu + able to channel the primordial light (as her element)
wish I could upscale calamity a bit rn
not in calamity lore anyways
I mean if you take terrarian's theoretical max strength probably a lot
and ye hes injured but not bc of that
idk about that bro, the terrarian can't even blow up blocks with the Supernova
Based off bosses not that high
i mean xeroc is barely planet level, which is nappa level, which nappa low diffs yamcha
Think abt it itll make sense
no
xeroc is country level
they aren't
that's vanilla terraria lore
he low diffed saiyan saga yamcha
calamity =/ terraria
what the fuck when did xeroc become planet level
compare that to cell saga yamcha
lorewise, anyways
barely planet level is a massive highball for xeroc given current material
never :3
i remember when some dude was like "if the terrarian killed xeroc, they would solo 40% of fiction"
Ok

Anyways forget dragon ball, what verse would cal mostly compare to
In calamity lore the cult is actually keeping ML sealed
maybe nameless deity idk calamity addon scaling is odd
im pretty sure it was stated somewhere
no one should actually care about how high calamity scales 
i care because it means uhmmmm
jujutsu kaisen
Is nameless diety evil?

I would love to say Monster Hunter but right now Monster Hunter things have quite a lot of calcs
can't nameless make black holes
idk lol

actually yes for the most part
How
aza told me a while back the wotg lore
get terrarian past Infinity bro
based off his dialogues nameless isn't evil
a year ago, but dev statements for scaling I don't wanna use unless it's about character power relative to another character, and planet level for calamity is kinda baseless as of now
Ok
its the universe itself or something like that
like nameless is the literal embodiment of ur universe
or osmething
yeah
The dialogue between you and him during the staircase scene shows it
calamity addon scaling vs calamity main lore scaling goes crazy
Casually kicks you out of the game
Can any other boss do that
yes you can we get it cheese
can you even scale the terrarian off the nameless deity fight
You're multiversal
You do kind of thrash deity with endgame gear
da fuk>
What are the 3 sentinels of dogs purpose?
i must have skill issue then because my ass was getting one shot every time
they're not his sentinels
old lore moment
what about a mod that makes moonlord "the strongest being in the universe" in their lore, while another mod is like "the moon lord is the lord of the moon who can destroy the planet with its full power"
they don't serve him or really have any direct ties with hm
they do share one thing in common though is that they're all connected to the distortion somehow
nameless deity's absolute lowest end scaling is at least star to solar system level given black hole creation usually scales at that level
DoG and Weaver both come from it
If I use the penetrator from fargos souls then I could become moon lord tbh
My childhood is ruined
Signus is able to travel to it
i think i could start on the vitric desert lore item
idk!
Something like that
probs
Okay that reminds me, cal bosses vs mutant who wins
i dont believe it for a second!!!! that's hax!!!!! this fraud is not getting past planet level ong ong frr!!!!
mutant lol
he literally compressed a star
does mutant even like
It’s just such a cool concept that you’re so powerful the literal god is the only entity you can fight against
Fargos probably has lore
nameless fraudeity
But no one talks about it
A MAN'S AGENDA
HAS NO END!!!!!
fr composite nergigante solos
Mutant is just the Amalgamation of every boss you fight to get to him, kind of like a final test
Who would win providence or yharon
im pretty sure fargos has literally no lore on purpose
yharon
Ok
you fougth him after her for a reason lol
the boss progression roughly matches the canon power level of the bosses
what is the strongest modded terraria boss ever? like the strongest? (excluding mods that adds stuff from other games (gensokyo mod), and joke bosses (like echdeath from an old version of fargo's souls)
That's kinda what makes mutant a good fight because everything he does has been done by every boss before so it makes a perfect final boss
the only thing that sorta counts is
deviantt, abominationn and mutant are siblings
idk
i havent played all of them yet
Who would win profaned gurdians or dragonfolly😁
idk
Infinity zero, mutant
wars
maybe The Stars Above, shit gets wild in that mod
theyre both the most nothing guys from post ml
what species were the citizens of illmeris?
stars above bosses aren't going over DoG's level
