[calm patio]

Now... imagine getting tiger dropped in the gut by yharim

[spring helm]

Yharim after fighting Braelor: “Wah! Wah! I almost fucking died! DRAEDON!!!! I NEED A NEW SUIT OF ARMOUR!!!”

Yharim when he’s talking to someone only a week old: “To have come this far, there is no doubt you seek battle with me. I await your challenge.”

[rotund shore]

elon wishes he was draedon so bad

[warm gull]

draelon musk

[pliant ruin]

draedon is what elon thinks he is

but in reality he is nay but a john wulfrum

[magic epoch]

not even

[pliant ruin]

yeah he's worse than john wulfrum

[warm gull]

draedon is a guy for real

draetism

[spring helm]

John Wulfrum figured out how to merge magic with technology, no way Elon is matching that

[pliant ruin]

john wulfrum atleast has like above average intelligence to make the wulfrum guys probably

elon has bellow average intelligence

[rotund shore]

john wulfrum was like, against yharim, he was so real for that

[magic epoch]

he's john dirtblock

[pliant ruin]

he's john torch because i think elon is smart enough to slap wood and gel together at a maximum

[warm gull]

is john wulfrum actually a real character now

[spring helm]

No

[pliant ruin]

if you really squint it you could say hes john workbench

[pliant ruin]

no

or is he

[rotund shore]

I headcanon john wulfrum as real tbh

[warm gull]

I'm john misinformation

[pliant ruin]

[rotund shore]

I've asked before but im still confused by who is being quoted in the wulfrum screwdriver tooltip

[calm patio]

Me

[pliant ruin]

John Wulfrum

[calm patio]

[ionic harness]

john wulfrum

[calm patio]

I am john wulfrum

[pliant ruin]

I think it's just supposed to be a general quote not specific to any character

but anyways its john wulfrum trust me

[ionic harness]

(draedon's canonical creator)

[rotund shore]

shitpost, Its probably one of john wulfrums interns, being deeply confused by their bosses eccentric creations

I have the shitpost theory in the back of my head that john wulfrum is just wagstaff from don't starve, mostly due to the wulfrum armor easter egg

[spring helm]

Draedon!!! Invent genderfluid and my life is yours!!!!

[warm gull]

my name is john auric tesla+ armor

[spring helm]

Bro has catalyst

[ionic harness]

popcorn im not even gonna ask

catalyst needs to give us demonshade +

[warm gull]

I hate that the catalyst auric armor lags the fuck outta my game with the set bonus

[ionic harness]

i think you can turn off the visuals

[pliant ruin]

my name is cheese

[spring helm]

Can’t you turn that off in settings

[ionic harness]

ploo is so out of season

[pliant ruin]

not even aza is ploo anymore

ploo has fallen

billions must die

[spring helm]

I will do speakable things once my days Calamitas plushie arrives

[ionic harness]

we need a new meme

[spring helm]

Hang her on a fishing rod and go to a river

[pliant ruin]

If i got a calamitas plush i'd so speakable things also

[ionic harness]

idk what imma do with my cal plush

[warm gull]

you can turn off the "asteroids" but it still just shows them anyways, except they're purple and translucent I literally don't know why they added the ability to toggle the visuals it does literally nothing

[pliant ruin]

such as giving her a little hat

[ionic harness]

my cats are gonna try to eat her

[rotund shore]

no give her a big hat

[pliant ruin]

i could also do that

if i had a cal plush

which i don't

: (

[warm gull]

No it isn't

[ionic harness]

imma buy a shelf

and stick it above my monitor

[rotund shore]

I forget when are the cal plushies shipping?

[pliant ruin]

yes it is!!!

[ionic harness]

so she can judge everthing that i do

[spring helm]

Holy shit guys

Reaper shark tooth

[rotund shore]

I bought one due to my brothers pestering

[ionic harness]

august or september

[warm gull]

❌

blurg

[pliant ruin]

is that a fossilized shark tooth

cuz if so thats awesome....

[spring helm]

There is a museum near me that has the world’s largest tylosaurus skeleton, and I bought it

[ionic harness]

popcorn is drowning in money

[spring helm]

Not the skeleton

[pliant ruin]

you did not buy the largest tylosaurus skeleton

yeah

popcorn billionaire arc

i thought of buying fossils before

but expensive and also im afraid my cat would just break them

[spring helm]

Just doing my best to fulfil my child-self’s dreams now that I have money

[ionic harness]

one of your childhood dreams is sending Aido 47,000 dollars in unmarked bills

[spring helm]

Well shit I guess I can’t argue with that

[pliant ruin]

one of your childhood dreams is sending Cheese 47,000 dollars in unmarked bills

[spring helm]

It’s so strange that I’ve had these two dreams since I was a kid, not knowing either of these people until now and only recently remembering it

[warm gull]

1233popcorn bought the museum

[ionic harness]

welcome to the land of unmoderated cal talk

[pliant ruin]

theres like

[ionic harness]

we do lore stuff here

[pliant ruin]

private collectors of fossils who have like entire undescribed new species hidden in their basements

[warm gull]

how was the fall

[ionic harness]

[pliant ruin]

there could be trex 2 in some random rich guys basement and wed never know because they dont want to donate it to paleontologists

[pliant ruin]

kill this

[wheat walrus]

This shit jumpscared me

[ionic harness]

my one and only creation

[spring helm]

Cal creature

[rotund shore]

cease

[spring helm]

I fell from the light

[rotund shore]

I want the fandom wiki people to make a ceaseful void

[ionic harness]

i fell from the light

[pliant ruin]

ceasemore void

[rotund shore]

Real

[ionic harness]

whats that one game

[spring helm]

I just realized this thing has a nose

[warm gull]

I hate this rat thing so so much

[wheat walrus]

[ionic harness]

[spring helm]

Terraria

[ionic harness]

[spring helm]

Damn

Omni lore

Moner is free

[warm gull]

I'm gonna put my insides on the outside

[spring helm]

(I messed up Omni’s pronouns)

[wheat walrus]

crazy

[warm gull]

omnouns

[ionic harness]

remnant mod makes the game feel kinda smelly

its cool to look at

[spring helm]

I need a second run of the Calamitas plushie

[ionic harness]

but it doesnt feel very terraria

[spring helm]

I need it

[pliant ruin]

me too

i really wanna buy her

[ionic harness]

id buy another

[pliant ruin]

but i was broke back when she was being sold

[spring helm]

Caught in 4K, slaver cheese

[pliant ruin]

i couldve gotten her actually if it wasnt for the fact on the second month when they extended it i barely had any money left coz i had to spend all of my monthly pay into taxes n shit

now i'm in a better space financially

[spring helm]

Taxes

[ionic harness]

id sell you mine for 47,000 in unmarked bills

[pliant ruin]

i hate money i hate capitalism i hate gbanks

ill give you 47,000 unmarked bills in 80 years trust me just give it to me and ill pay

[spring helm]

I don’t think taxes were invented under the capitalist system

[pliant ruin]

ye but i still hate capitalism and i hate money and i hate banks

[ionic harness]

why dont you throw some tea into a harbor?

[warm gull]

taxes were invented under... every government to ever exist actually

[ionic harness]

that worked once before

[warm gull]

at least in our society not paying taxes just gets you bankrupted

It used to get you killeded

[ionic harness]

lets just all decide not to pay them all at once

what are they gonna do

they'd run out of funding before they could get us all

[spring helm]

Lore

Not lord, this ain’t church

[warm gull]

if we didn't pay taxes how would they send us to jail?

They keep the jails running with tax money

[pliant ruin]

ill blow the jails up

[high lynx]

I will create a barrier using exothermic energy and throw all the criminals in there and the last one standing will be set free

[pliant ruin]

i will blow the barrier up

[high lynx]

How

With what

[spring helm]

Cheese

[high lynx]

What kind

Sharp cheddar

What wins, exothermic energy or a very sharp piercing bit of cheese

[split mortar]

I’d say that cheese wins

[wheat walrus]

I win

[split mortar]

Though if taking too long mold may kill cheese but that I doubt

Such lore discussions here

[wheat walrus]

https://tenor.com/view/gliznorp-alien-cat-bald-green-gif-7415781222793666173

holy shit

[split mortar]

Simple, the cheese made noxus be like that

[pliant ruin]

wtf

i didnt make noxus

id never do that

thatd be like

evil

[warm gull]

you are that

[pliant ruin]

im not evil im pure and innocent ^-^

never did anything bad in my life

ever

[warm gull]

you're evil

[pliant ruin]

no im not

[pliant ruin]

cool lore

[spring helm]

Huh

Now that I think about it

Do we have any spider bosses

[pliant ruin]

nope we don't

closest we have is like

i guess queen bee or pbg because they're both arthropods

we don't even have any bug bosses beyond those

bug fans eating bad

[wanton tusk]

Okay but also that means that less bugs die.

[pliant ruin]

you have a point

[warm gull]

not if I have anything to say about it

[high lynx]

I can think of very few bug enemies in calamity

[pliant ruin]

i cant think of any tbh

theres like

the plagued bees

uhhhhhhhhhhh

mantis shrimp.

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[high lynx]

This is crazy

[pliant ruin]

do bobbit worms count?

they're not arthropods

[high lynx]

Mantis shrimp is a shrimp

[pliant ruin]

but they're bug-gy enough

[pliant ruin]

did i stutter

crustaceans are just water bugs

[high lynx]

Shrimp is crustacean

Significantly more crustaceans in calamity now that i think about it

[warm gull]

actually, bugs are just land crustaceans

[pliant ruin]

this is unironically true

[warm gull]

I know

[pliant ruin]

like that's not even a joke they literally are

ya

[warm gull]

I know

they call me

the knower

[pliant ruin]

they call you blurg

[warm gull]

of things

[high lynx]

No they dont

[wanton tusk]

Derplings but those are Vanilla.

[pliant ruin]

vanilla has a good few bugs

[warm gull]

https://tenor.com/view/riddler-paul-dano-new-rockstars-thumbnail-does-he-know-he-doesnt-know-gif-27552850

[pliant ruin]

but calamity has like

-plague chargers
-mantis shrimp

i think thats it

unless im forgetting some others

oh

-slab crab

-flak crab

[high lynx]

Do the critters in the labs count

[pliant ruin]

-trilobite

5 more : D

[warm gull]

robota

[pliant ruin]

they're robots so i think they dont count

[high lynx]

But i can catch

[wanton tusk]

I mean a lot of the Plagued enemies are bugs.

[pliant ruin]

they look buggy but theyre as much of a bug as a statue carved in the shape of one

[pliant ruin]

oh

virulings

thats 6

[wanton tusk]

Plaguebringer.

[pliant ruin]

-plague charger
-viruling
-mantis shrimp
-slab crab
-flak crab
-trilobite

[warm gull]

what about the flies in the corruption

[high lynx]

This needs to be studied

[pliant ruin]

i'm only counting normal enemies right now

so no pbg or plaguebringer

[wanton tusk]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1138960073440374795/1228010392295313458/sad_asd.png?ex=662a7ccc&is=661807cc&hm=ae4d4743e9aab134f6952c7bec5cac776db8fc6af27c3d32b1de1d029a0fa7e5&

[pliant ruin]

i think those are all arent they

am i forgetting any

[high lynx]

This is every critter in calamity

[pliant ruin]

oh

twinklers

do they count?

i mean

[high lynx]

Yes

I think

[pliant ruin]

they're like astral things but like

[rotund shore]

baby flak crab...

[pliant ruin]

they probably were bugs before

[rotund shore]

my beloved

they're so silly

[pliant ruin]

idk if they still are bugs now though

idk the specifics of the biology of astral infection creatures

[high lynx]

Well astral things are just things consumed by the astral infection right?

[pliant ruin]

but regardless

i think they count

so thats 7

-twinkler
-plague charger
-viruling
-mantis shrimp
-flak crab
-sulphurous skater
-slab crab
-trilobite

[pliant ruin]

thanks for reminding me those guys do infact exist

lets go babey 8 bugs

[high lynx]

I searched for both “bug” and “insect” on the wiki

And thats all i found

[pliant ruin]

i think we actually have all of them now

[high lynx]

Wow

[warm gull]

I'm sulphurous

[pliant ruin]

this truly has been a learning experience

we now have the incredible information that there are 8 new bugs added by calamity, 10 if you count bosses

this will definitely be very helpful and meaningful

[rotund shore]

what is dog was the nameless bug and we had 11 bugs...

[high lynx]

This is what we do now

And if we count all the ones that have been patched out theres probably hundreds more

[pliant ruin]

there are definitely more fish in calamity than bugs

calamity has ALOT of fish

wait

wait wait wait

my bad

[rotund shore]

the abyss is many many fish

[pliant ruin]

theres 11 bugs if you count bosses

crabulon is a bug

it is a crab

[rotund shore]

crabs are bugs??

[high lynx]

Crustacean

[pliant ruin]

as it has been established

[high lynx]

Sea bug

[pliant ruin]

crustaceans are just water bugs

[rotund shore]

I guess

[pliant ruin]

and to be fair insects literally are crustaceans anyways

[high lynx]

Yep

Im documenting this

[pliant ruin]

if a spider is a bug and spiders are further from insects than crustaceans then crustaceans are bugs

[high lynx]

NO spiders in calamity

[pliant ruin]

calamity adds a grand total of 0 spiders

very sad

[high lynx]

The only ones are from vanilla

[rotund shore]

astralrachnea?

or however you spell it

isn't it meant to be astral spider

[high lynx]

Oh perhaps

[pliant ruin]

wait holy shit real

we now have 12 bugs

i forgot that thingy existed

[high lynx]

And a grand total of ONE spider

[rotund shore]

so whats the current bug list

[high lynx]

And an inordinate amount of worms and fish

[rotund shore]

I like just got here

[high lynx]

I got here two days ago

And i was not keeping track

[pliant ruin]

-Plague Charger
-Viruling
-Twinkler
-Astralachnea
-Sulphurous Skater
-Trilobite
-Flak Crab
-Slab Crab
-Mantis Shrimp
-Plaguebringer
-Plaguebringer Goliath
-Crabulon

[high lynx]

Thank you

[rotund shore]

I was about to say crawlers but those are relatives of prismbacks apparently

they just give off insect vibes for me

[pliant ruin]

ye theyre like lizards

turtle creatures

and also theyre getting resprited and the resprites are less like

bugg-y

[rotund shore]

wait stormlion

[pliant ruin]

REAL

[rotund shore]

WAIT

NUCLEAR TERROR

its like

a mutated shrimp crab creature

it counts right??

[high lynx]

Idk lemme look it up

[rotund shore]

I thought nuclear terror was like a water strider

which I think is a bug

[pliant ruin]

ye those r bugs

[high lynx]

THIS THING IS HORRIFYING

[rotund shore]

nuclear terror has one of my favorite bestiary entries honestly

such a haunting creature

[high lynx]

Look at that thing

Why is its back leg in the front

[rotund shore]

because its a fucking fucked up creature

fucking hell

[high lynx]

I kinda like it

But my heart rate spiked when i first saw it

[rotund shore]

I do like how unlike the other acid rain minibosses and old duke, it doesn't take the more brown(?) colors, and goes full on radioactive green

[high lynx]

Yeah, ive never seen this though

I have played pre hardmode calamity so many times but i rarely get into post mech

I just start another playthrough

[autumn mirage]

r

[pliant ruin]

cool lore

[autumn mirage]

good lore

[rotund shore]

not bug lore smh

[magic epoch]

https://tenor.com/view/baczynski-marten-wukko-bug-meme-gif-25369786

[wanton tusk]

Does anyone have the spawn sound for this guy by the way?

[ionic harness]

Lore reason for death mode spawns being this shitty?

[magic epoch]

wiki

[wanton tusk]

I can't save it.

Mobile client 😔

[high lynx]

Im on my phone too

[magic epoch]

take a screen recording of it and turn it into an mp3

?

[high lynx]

Ill get it later

[magic epoch]

idk

[wanton tusk]

🤷‍♀️

[sleek scroll]

This isn't really about calamity but when you think about it we don't really need a mechanical brain of Cthulhu

the destroyer being the amalgamation of both boc and eow and it being a worm and having probes which are the mechanical equivalent of creepers

[warm gull]

the nuclear terror is a giant sulphurous skater btw

wait no it isn't

wtf

where did I get that idea

[rotund shore]

I think they both have the general root origin of water striders

[visual kiln]

hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

elloo

hello

[sudden ruin]

hiiiiihiiii

[ionic harness]

hi

[sleek scroll]

Hello

[high lynx]

Who here loves bugs

Because i have news for you

[ionic harness]

youre not gonna believe this

but braelor

he likes ants

[wanton tusk]

I keep forgetting I can't react to messages here.

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1138960073440374795/1228010392295313458/sad_asd.png?ex=662a7ccc&is=661807cc&hm=ae4d4743e9aab134f6952c7bec5cac776db8fc6af27c3d32b1de1d029a0fa7e5&

[high lynx]

Of all 300 something mobs in calamity (i could be off i just googled it) there are a whopping 13 bugs!

Also no ants i believe

So braelor must be hoarding them

[wanton tusk]

This cannot be allowed to continue.

[high lynx]

Modders get on this one

Or just download thorium or whatever mod adds ants

[ionic harness]

Exactly

We need to bring this to fabsol’s attention

[warm gull]

Similiar to vanilla, appears and gets sealed in moon after nearly fighting ancient civilisation of mystical beings that protect the world and by the time the terrarian is in the scene only one is left

[wheat walrus]

[split mortar]

Yeah, moonlord in vanilla appears and gets torn apart by the dryads which protect the world, but gets sealed after only 1 dryad survives

[wheat walrus]

does auric actually have a reason to be called that or is it just a cool name?

https://tenor.com/view/ltg-low-tier-god-yskysn-ltg-thunder-thunder-gif-23523876

dude you're scaring me 🥶

[high lynx]

What have we become

General chat?

[tawdry ridge]

erm, I think you meant general-talk/general-media as this server doesn't have a general chat 🤓 👆

[high lynx]

Dear yharim, blow up his pet frog

[hushed geyser]

I'm insulted

[high lynx]

Ok reagen from mob psycho 100 the hit animated series

[mild obsidian]

what is Jharim's lore relevancy

(if there is none make something the fuck up to tell me)

[high lynx]

Who

[hushed geyser]

Jesus and yharim fused with the potara and now are jharim

[magic epoch]

thoughts?

[eager bluff]

signus has arms it can make grilled cheese

[tawdry ridge]

FR empress of light the type of fella to make a "healthy" grilled cheese wit shitty rye bread and vegan cheese and post it on tiktok as if it wouldn't taste like sawdust

nahh tho I bet signus would be a girlled cheese fiend don't understimate him

he looks like he eats a lot no offense

tell me this mf does not get the most devious munchies at 3am

he literally has "the devourer" as his epithet

[magic epoch]

ok but i don't think he makes them

nor has any care to

[eager bluff]

no but the list is not if they will

its if they can

and how good it would be

[tawdry ridge]

I bet plantera could make a grilled cheese but it's just against her morals

yk?

[magic epoch]

I headcanon crabulon being a good cook

[buoyant inlet]

Outdated title

Signus isn't that related to dog

[tawdry ridge]

o

[buoyant inlet]

Besides being from distortion

But they have different goals and influence over Terraria

[tawdry ridge]

does the ninja inside of king slime count towards his grilled cheese proficiency or nah?

[magic epoch]

He is dead

[tawdry ridge]

☠️

fr?

[buoyant inlet]

Well

Yeah

[tawdry ridge]

rip the ninja 😢

I thought he was just chilling...

the ninja not being alive has to be a mandela effect fr

[buoyant inlet]

I mean, slimes only goal is to consume things

They can absorb basically anything

So ninja is just slowly getting digested inside KS

Even if they were somehow alive, they probably would be dying a slow and painful death

It's probably a similar feeling to flowing in a pool of weak acid

[magic epoch]

is hadal stew actually edible

[ionic harness]

Totally

You’re only supposed to suck on the rocks

They’re kinda there for garnish

[magic epoch]

also these seem kinda busted if you have the time

120 healing at reduced potion CD for pre hm

[ionic harness]

No yeah, it’s actually really good

I don’t bother with it cuz I’m lazy

[rotund shore]

Hi lorers, I just had a super surreal experience in another server

[ionic harness]

What’s happening, courier?

Wanna share?

[rotund shore]

So, a couple people changed their name to courier for a bit, copying me, All well and good

Then I left for an hour and a half, 13 people did it, including the server owner!!

How did 13 people impersonate me for a gag

Thanks shayy very cool

[magic epoch]

shayy Undertale?!?!?

[rotund shore]

Shayy calamity…

But yeah

[spring helm]

Story of undertale

[magic epoch]

anyways, this really boils down to the voidstone/gravel, since coastal demonfish can be made into food already

[ionic harness]

Shayy undertale streamer

But wait that’s actually so random

It’s like ploo

[magic epoch]

and something tells me that abyss gravel isn't exactly edible

[ionic harness]

Nah it’s totally edible

If you’re hungry

[magic epoch]

maybe it's applied like salt?

crushed

[ionic harness]

Actually yeah

[magic epoch]

seasoning for the stew

[ionic harness]

That works

[magic epoch]

coastal demonfish and honeyfins are very much edible

[rotund shore]

If it was seasoning I don’t think it would need that many

[buoyant inlet]

Idk maybe abyss gravel is for making the bowl stronger

For whatever reason

[rotund shore]

actually we see how different the bowls look so maybe??

[magic epoch]

i like my seasoning theory more

[ionic harness]

The stew is so dense that it needs a reinforced bowl

[untold bluff]

Damn I thought shayy and shayy were the same people

[leaden bridge]

Back in the day a single trip to the abyss granted you hundreds of these through abyssal treasures

Calamity, however, hates fun

[earnest flare]

calamitas' flames are far too hot to make a good grilled cheese

it'd either be uncooked or burnt with no in between

[wheat walrus]

Just keep her distant

[magic epoch]

she is both smart enough and capable of using a stove

[earnest flare]

do stoves exist in calamity

[magic epoch]

grilled cheeses dont

[earnest flare]

well then how is anyone gonna make it if the recipe isnt there

[magic epoch]

stop being rude

[earnest flare]

im just applying way more logic than is needed for such a lighthearted question

[magic epoch]

and Jr being LAME'Nnnnnnnn!!!!!!!

[earnest flare]

real i think

[radiant forge]

it’s probably dropped by a random ichor based crimson creation

[rotund shore]

I don’t think calamitas does much cooking, wherever she is before she joins your town

Actually, where was calamitas even hanging out?

[leaden bridge]

Cave

[magic epoch]

supposedly calamitas would have to learn how to cook

[rotund shore]

I like to imagine she’s learnt to farm and does that, finds it pleasant

A nice getaway from her past

[magic epoch]

basil omoir

[warm gull]

i wonder if calamitas clone can cook

[rotund shore]

the basil

[rotund shore]

Tbh we don’t even know what she looks like

[warm gull]

she is humanoid now apparently

[rotund shore]

Not sprite wise, atleast, I think there might of been some concept art

[warm gull]

not evil and fucked up and deformed

apparently she's just... a clone

[rotund shore]

I do quite like her gaining some hobby, she needs something to spend her days on

[gritty dawn]

okay i think im finished with the auroracle lore

• " The remaining specimen of an ancient aquatic predator, capable of channeling aurora light in its hunt. "
• " Discovered preserved in ice by a subterranean squid-like race, it was revered as a symbol of primordial magic, with shrines crafted from fragments of its radiant light "
• " The Squiddites would offer tributes, hoping to gain insight into channeling the aurora. "
• " In the end, their arrogance proved fatal. "
• " Their misguided attempts to understand and control such a beast leading to their inevitable downfall. "
• " Now, the remnants of their society lie in ruin, a stark reminder to those who seek control over the primordial beings of this world. "

[sinful adder]

"Squiddites" sounds silly

[sinful adder]

That's kinda lame

[gritty dawn]

its the canon name

but yeah i agree

[sinful adder]

Canon name in what?

There's no such thing in calamity

[wheat walrus]

[visual kiln]

I am canon

[gritty dawn]

starlight river

[sinful adder]

Oh

[gritty dawn]

there is no auroracle either in calamity

[sinful adder]

Yeah

I didn't know what it was from

[gritty dawn]

anyways its for the calamity river mod

i need feedback

[sinful adder]

Anyways, calamity lore:
Is the goldish stuff on Calamitas' robes auric?

I would guess it might be mock attuned auric

[gritty dawn]

no

[sinful adder]

Why?

[gritty dawn]

auric soul fragment protection

If the player touches the ore while not wearing a full set of Auric Tesla armor, they will suffer Auric Rejection, causing the ore to flash bright blue, deal 300 damage

[gritty dawn]

dont know what mock attuned auric is

[sinful adder]

Read the lore document dingus

It's the auric that the player has, which doesn't explode on contact with something that isn't auric

[gritty dawn]

soul fragment protection

[sinful adder]

Yes

That's what that is

Mock attunement is the canon name for that

[gritty dawn]

where would calamitas get auric soul fragments

[mighty zenith]

how would she get a mock attunement yeah

[sinful adder]

Yharim I guess

[mighty zenith]

im like 99% sure its just gold ornaments

[sinful adder]

Yharim might have had access to that stuff

[mighty zenith]

i doubt that tbh

[gritty dawn]

how would yharim have that

[mighty zenith]

i also think it would be more neat if mock attunement is just something the terrarian invents

[lean crag]

Not everything gold has to be auric

[mighty zenith]

like miracle matter

[lean crag]

She’s just a fancy gal

[gritty dawn]

i eat dirt

[real silo]

What if it's just yellow

[sinful adder]

It is established as being a thing I think

[mighty zenith]

how exactly

[sinful adder]

Can't remember

[real silo]

Forgor

[gritty dawn]

real

[real silo]

I don't think the words mock attunement are even in game

[lean crag]

Don’t have good signal but if someone can pull up the character ref I’m pretty sure it’s more like a metal adornment..?

Not sure tho

[gritty dawn]

anyways i need help with the vitric desert lore if i can even ask here

• " A former part of Illmeris especially rich with crystal, once occupied by a race of ancient glassblowers. "
• " These artisans had formed their crystalline cities long before Illmeris existed, living for centuries with unmatched mastery over crystal. "
• " They joined Illmeris peacefully not long after Otonilou and Tyrian rose to power, becoming a cornerstone to the kingdom's growth "
• " Yet, after the incineration of Illmeris, most of their race either perished or fled, leaving their cities abandoned and in ruins "
• " It is a wonder this place is preserved, even if in a pitiful and collapsing state. "

[real silo]

ig it looks goldish

[gritty dawn]

yuh

[gritty dawn]

im thinking of replacing the glassblowers in the first part something like " a race of ancient bug-like beings "

but i dont know if that would be good

[gritty dawn]

also the last part " the crystals must have been a large contribution to this places preservation, even if in such a pitiful and collapsing state " im not really happy with this one

doesnt feel very yharim-esk

im thinking something more like " this place must have survived thanks to the special crystal properties - "

but that also doesnt really fit

[sinful adder]

I don't know enough about SLR to give significant feedback but it seems good

[sinful adder]

You can just leave that part out completely

[gritty dawn]

yeah but like

there were other cities

that you know arent there anymore

but this one still is

somewhat

[gritty dawn]

im thinking on the second one

" These artisans had formed their crystalline cities long before Illmeris existed, living for centuries with unmatched mastery over crystal. "

since its not repeating

but crystalline could be replaced with glass or whatever

[gritty dawn]

" It is a wonder this place is preserved, even if in a pitiful and collapsing state. "

yeah i dont know

i think its good enough for now

even if its a bit odd

anyways might as well start working on the ceiros lore

CEIROS

1. damaged sentinel built to protect its temple / forge, likely damaged by calamitas in the attack
2. is called by the glassweaver a " religious guardian " and was apparently worshipped to some extent
3. i feel yharim would feel pity for it in a simular way to brimstone elemental / golem

okay so what i am thinking

how did it survive calamitas

probably formed out of some proto-religion before otonilou and tyrian came in

i dont want its last part to be an exact replica of the brimstone elemental lore

[gritty dawn]

nevermind might change the " The remaining specimen of an ancient aquatic predator, capable of channeling aurora light in its hunt. " to just " An ancient aquatic predator, capable of channeling aurora light in its hunt "

dont think yharim would use specimen

[gritty dawn]

okay just got the perfect word to replace arrogance with ambition

sounds 20 times better

[sinful adder]

Yharim doesn't pity brimstone elemental or golem at all

Not in current lore

[buoyant inlet]

Maybe ceiros part of sunken sea could have been attacked not by calamitas, but by regular shock troopers with flamethrowers, while Cal was doing other stuff in other parts of the sea

[cloud ibex]

If anything he thinks golem is sad in a derogatory way because the lihzahrds were so attached to their absent god they made a shitty mechanical replacement

[gritty dawn]

brain disconnect

okay thank you

[gritty dawn]

i mean

hmm

like in one of the draedon entries it is stated that calamitas attack the big cities

and the vitric desert is like an industrial area

[buoyant inlet]

Cal wasn't the only person on yharim's side during incineration, there were normal soldiers

Cal was doing majority of work, but not all the work

[gritty dawn]

yeah that makes sense

[gritty dawn]

• " Yet, after the incineration of Illmeris, most of their race either perished or fled, leaving their cities abandoned and in ruins "
• " It is a wonder this place is preserved, even if in a pitiful and collapsing state. "

i havent really mentioned it here so should i change it or

[buoyant inlet]

I think it's fine

[sinful adder]

I don't think it would make sense for the desert to survive calamitas's attack

Unless it was in a little corner of it

Actually, it doesn't make sense for anything to have been desert at all

[gritty dawn]

its like the whole bottom middle area

[sinful adder]

Yeah. It wouldn't have been desert back then. The lore just isn't compatible in that case

[gritty dawn]

but like most of it is melted glass and glass infused sand

[sinful adder]

The entire desert was ocean in calamity, so it wouldn't make sense for any of it to be like that

[gritty dawn]

illmeris turning into the desert or vitric desert existing

im a little confused

[buoyant inlet]

Sunken sea always was underground sea

[sinful adder]

Vitric desert could not have existed

[buoyant inlet]

It's basically a bunch of big cave systems flooded with water

[gritty dawn]

yeah

[sinful adder]

Because the desert only existed after calamitas burned the sea and turned it into desert

[buoyant inlet]

Ilmeran sea didn't have surface opening

[gritty dawn]

i mean it probably wouldnt have been an underground desert the whole time

[buoyant inlet]

And surface desert was alwa desert

[gritty dawn]

anyways

on the ceiros lore

• " Once a steadfast sentinel, this damaged guardian was crafted to protect its temple and forge. The mighty construct, built by the Glassblowers, stood vigilant for ages, its purpose sacred and clear. "

[sinful adder]

Not sure what you mean

[gritty dawn]

the vitric desert

[sinful adder]

oh

Glass blowing is impossible underwater

[gritty dawn]

i mean there are lava channels, but there are also lava channels underwater

[sinful adder]

... probably

[gritty dawn]

there are towers and multiple forges

not just the main forge temple

[sinful adder]

That doesn't matter. The entire area would have been flooded

At least I'm pretty sure

[gritty dawn]

i mean the sunken sea has air pockets too

like intended air pockets

[sinful adder]

It does, it probably has less before

But anyways you can try to force these things to work but it's really contrived and not very feasible

[gritty dawn]

sure

anyways

id like to incorporate the religious part somehow

yeah that it was " praised as a protector " or something

doesnt sound very religious to be honest

then something after the glassblowers joined illmeris, with it becoming a relic of the past

and then finally the part to what happened to it after illmeris was incinerated, with something like

" heavily damaged and shattered after the attack, it ..., now wandering the ruins of its lost home " something like that

[buoyant inlet]

Maybe ceiros cult could have been separated from the rest of sunken sea. Like it's a bunch of ilmerians who decided to worship this idol instead of their gods

It could have been on outskirts of the sea

Maybe this cult can be ancient

Like, older than otonilou and tyrian

It's what scattered and uninitiated groups of ancient ilmerians worshipped back before the gods started to exist

And now in current day it's like an underground (as in, it wasn't publicly known. Not that it was located underground, tho it probably was) cult of old believers

Maybe they decline otonilou and tyrian and think they're false idols or something

And Yharim doesn't care so he incinerated it all

[gritty dawn]

i mean ceiros is visible made by the glassblowers

so like here is what i came up with so far

• " Once a steadfast sentinel, this damaged guardian was crafted to protect its temple and forge. "
• " The mighty construct, built by the Glassblowers, stood vigilant for ages, its purpose sacred and clear. "
• " After the integration of its people into Illmeris, it became defunct for decades. "
• " The day of the incineration, it lay dormant, awakening to a desolate wasteland. "

[gritty dawn]

might add in a now

no sounds weird

temple and forge i might just use temple

or something more like " place of worship

unsure about that

[gritty dawn]

like the glassblowers are ancient

like glassweaver talks about accidentally leaving his forge unmaintained for centuries

casually

[gritty dawn]

i mean the temple is right in the middle of illmeris

and the whole general area is like a large industrial city

mini azafure sort of

[buoyant inlet]

Hmmm true

Tho I'd say, it's unclear of where exactly temple would be in 3d plane

I remember it was confirmed that sunken sea we see in game is just outskirts of the whole ilmeran see that were u touched

Majority of incinerated sea would just look like underground desert

And it's because Terraria is 2d game and stuff

So I think you can take creative liberty with placement of the temple relatively to the rest of ilmeris

[gritty dawn]

true

but i think you know the whole

• " They joined Illmeris peacefully not long after Otonilou and Tyrian rose to power, becoming a cornerstone to the kingdom's growth "

i have in the vitric desert lore item

i really think they just somewhat worshipped ceiros like some sort of demigod at most

i mean you can still worship non-gods too

[buoyant inlet]

Yeah

I think they can be kinda like mantis clan in hollow knight

Like they're technically part of hallownest, but they're mostly doing their own thing

With their own rules

[gritty dawn]

yeah thats what im going for

anyways updated version

• " Once a steadfast sentinel, this damaged guardian was forged to protect its temple and forge. "
• " The mighty construct, crafted by the ancient Glassblowers, it stood vigilant for ages, its purpose sacred and clear. "
• " After the integration of its people into Illmeris, it remained defunct for decades. "
• " When the day of the incineration came, it lay dormant, awakening only to a desolate wasteland. "

dont know what to add to the last segment

i mean it attacks you and all

but like you did enter its temple which it doenst want anyone entering

i mean it has to have something with it being shattered

or simular

" In the end, the guardian’s silent watch over the ruins was shattered. The Sentinel having gone rogue, it stood guard over the 10 cheese pizzas in the forge"

[buoyant inlet]

I remember glassweaver talked about how ceiros kinda went rogue or something like that

Maybe he could have been like empowered by lingering necromantic and brimstone magic

[gritty dawn]

yeah ill use that

[gritty dawn]

the whole magma core

ehh you dont really see it though

[buoyant inlet]

No I meant, lingering magic kind of reawoke it and made it more hostile

Necromantic lingering magic is kinda like nuclear fallout

Radiation that lingers in place for a while

[gritty dawn]

ooo

i like the reawakening

[buoyant inlet]

Magic could have affected it's mind or whatever it has

[gritty dawn]

" Having been reawakened by lingering magic left over from the incineration, it went rogue, turning on what was left of its creators, effectively sealing their fate. "

and then there would be yharims thoughts on it

[gritty dawn]

it shattered and went rogue sounds weird, so im just gonna say it metaphorically shattered in going rogue

or something idk

[scenic olive]

Shatter?

Rogue?

Shattered Sun????

the rogue weapon????

[gritty dawn]

what are you cooking

[scenic olive]

silva

steamed vegetables

[gritty dawn]

current version im thinking

• " Reawakened by lingering magic left over from the incineration, it went rogue, turning against what remained of its creators, sealing their fate. "

i mean i still think there could be atleast something extra at the end

[pliant ruin]

good morning lorers

[warm gull]

It's 3am I should have slept

[gritty dawn]

lunch time

might change " growth " to something else

production?

[pliant ruin]

hits you with me sleep ray

[wheat walrus]

too bad

[warm gull]

Might have worked

[warm gull]

nvm

[gritty dawn]

alright i think it is finished completely?

here is the complete thing

tell me if you dont like certain words, phrases or themes so i can change it before submitting

[untold oracle]

I think it’s called Ilmeris, not Illmeris?

[gritty dawn]

is it?

let me check

[gritty dawn]

Draedon's Logs
(Arsenal Lab) Marine Biology Log [Bioform Research] - Aquatic Life of Ilmeris Sunken Sea (Arsenal Lab) Plague Nanomachine Log [Nanomachine Experimentation...

alright thanks

would have never spotted that

anything else you found wrong with it?

[untold oracle]

Not really

Good text

[gritty dawn]

thank you

current issues i have with is :

" becoming a cornerstone of the kingdom's growth " im mixed on it

[gritty dawn]

still mixed

• " A former part of Ilmeris, renowned for its abundant crystal deposits, once occupied by a race of ancient glassblowers. "

i think that sounds better

[buoyant inlet]

In the very last sentence about ceiros turned and turning are placed very closely to each other, which sounds jarring

[gritty dawn]

ill change it to went

does that sound better?

[buoyant inlet]

I think so, tho I feel like the sentence overall feels a bit repetitive. "Went rogue" and "turning against what remained of its creators" are essentially the same I think, maybe you can rephrase it a bit

[gritty dawn]

ill try

[gritty dawn]

the only idea what i have is

" Reawakened by residual magic left over from the incineration, it went rogue against what remained of its creators, sealing their fate. "

i mean

ig it works

your thoughts?

a little basic but i dont have anything better at the moment

[scenic olive]

The lore

also is sunken sea always has been under the desert before incineration

[buoyant inlet]

Yes

[gritty dawn]

yes

" becoming a cornerstone of the kingdom's growth " is like the last thing i want to change

i mean it just feels odd

i want it to be more like industrial-ish

i dont know its hard to describe

[scenic olive]

Hmm

[gritty dawn]

development?

that is just odd

[buoyant inlet]

Maybe something like "Lingering magic left over from the incinerator reawoke it and drove it mad, sealing fates of what remained of its creators"

[gritty dawn]

yeah thats sounds nice

but it doenst really fit in with the sentence prior

" When the day of the incineration came, it lay silent, emerging only to a desolate wasteland. "

" Lingering magic left over from the incineration reawoke it and drove it mad, sealing fates of what remained of its creators "

[scenic olive]

hmm

I think

[gritty dawn]

ill try it with just the second part

[scenic olive]

They should add a burnt forest biome

[gritty dawn]

that one sounds good

[scenic olive]

[gritty dawn]

terraria overhaul

[scenic olive]

and you find calclone there

[gritty dawn]

" Lingering magic left over from the incineration reawakened it, driving it mad and sealing the fates of what remained of its creators. "

lingering or residual

uh i think lingering is more appropriate

[buoyant inlet]

Probably, yeah

[gritty dawn]

but still

hmm

its either

• " When the day of the incineration came, it lay silent, emerging only to a desolate wasteland. "

" Lingering magic left over from the incineration reawakened it, driving it mad and sealing the fates of what remained of its creators. "

or

• " When the day of the incineration came, it lay silent, emerging only to a desolate wasteland. "
• " Reawakened by lingering magic left over from the incineration, it was driven mad, sealing the fates of what remained of its creators. "

[gritty dawn]

i think the reawakaned part is just way too late into the text, when you already know it has emerged

[gritty dawn]

you know but the other one is like not very good in my opinion?

[gritty dawn]

it just doenst translate it nearly as well

i think i might go with the second option as it is a little smoother, just slightly

[hoary berry]

hollow knight bone forest

[gritty dawn]

brimstone crags

[scenic olive]

[urban hedge]

"Barren"
Man, regular forests are possibly more barren then ash forests

[untold oracle]

Is Yharon the last auric dragon?

Or are there other ones too somewhere

[visual bane]

yeah

[untold oracle]

Which one 😭

[real silo]

yharon is the last auric dragon

[pliant ruin]

yharon is the last

ye

[real silo]

is that heese

[mighty zenith]

🫕

[visual bane]

what

since when that's an emoji

[real silo]

how fondous

[untold oracle]

Does Yharon communicate with Yharim by speaking or do they share some weird telepathical connection

[mighty zenith]

the latter i believe

i imagine he can speak to anyone, he just chooses to only speak to Yharim cause he's the only person he trusts

[untold oracle]

Considering people did shenanigans

[visual bane]

are you a cat chip

like the chips from casinos

[high lynx]

Is roar of the jungle dragon cannon

The song

[hoary berry]

mostly, yeah

though yharon doesn't canonically sing it

[high lynx]

Aw lame

[hoary berry]

but the lyrics themselves are mostly canon

[untold oracle]

Nah that’s Yharon’s actual voice (Dokuro tried his best at imitating it)

[pliant ruin]

yharon yapping about how tragic you killing him

[scenic olive]

then

if so

[pliant ruin]

meanwhile yharon committing global scale genocide

[scenic olive]

calamitas should have a british voice

accent

[pliant ruin]

no she shoudlnt

dont say that

shes not british

nobody can convince me she is

[scenic olive]

[pliant ruin]

she has went through enough suffering shes not gonna be briths ontop of that

[scenic olive]

obviously shes not british

she speak in azafurian accent

which is british

[untold oracle]

Azafure has a similiar vibe as UK ngl

[hoary berry]

as much as i should probably try to defend my counter from this verbal slander

it is very accurate slander

to the point of being less slander and more just actual fact

[visual bane]

united kingdoms?

[split mortar]

I don’t see azafure having an annoying amount of rain

[spring helm]

it has an annoying amount of brimstone fire instead

[untold oracle]

Ash

Falls from the ceiling

That will drastically affect the fishing season

[sly patio]

it will render the hell soil fertile

further developing the gdp

[wanton tusk]

The abyss is directly above it.

[spring helm]

Fuck I’m a dumbass ignore my previous message

[sly patio]

i saw it anyway and i wantto respectuflly agree

[spring helm]

Okay I will try again

They got Silva essence dripping from the abyss too, no wonder Azafure was the “First City”. They basically had the irl equivalent of the Nile river

[sly patio]

wait a minute

azafure came way before silva was casted into the abyss

[buoyant inlet]

Silva was casted multiple times

[sly patio]

azafure came about during the draconic era

[ionic harness]

Popcorn it didn’t work

[sly patio]

is that before or after yharim

wiat i meant during

[ionic harness]

We aren’t getting our super hero exclusive ultimate lore voice chat for loring

[spring helm]

She’s been banished to the abyss at least twice now

[spring helm]

[ionic harness]

They’re afraid of lore chats power

[spring helm]

Oh well, nothing we can do about that

[sly patio]

i understand but was she banised before azafure

[spring helm]

Yes

[sly patio]

crazy stuff

[spring helm]

Her essence dripping into the underworld from the abyss was what allowed the brimstone crags to develop

That’s why there are no trees outside of that biome one the underworld

[ionic harness]

What about the other side of the underworld tho?

They do have that newish area

That doesn’t have buildings

[hoary berry]

i headcanon that the ash forest on the other side of the underworld is directly beneath the jungle

and whatever allowed the jungle to flourish so greatly extended beneath it into the underworld

[ionic harness]

Oooh that makes sense

[spring helm]

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction

Because one side was able to grow trees, so must the other

[sly patio]

that's not very law of of equivalent exchange

if one side was able to gree trees, so musnt the other

[pliant ruin]

clearly silva's influence also affected the jungle somehow

i imagine it might be something like that anyways

[visual kiln]

grug

[pliant ruin]

wtf

hiii

[visual kiln]

hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

hello brain lover

[hoary berry]

that's what i was thinking when i came up with my above headcanon

[visual kiln]

brain LIKER

[pliant ruin]

NO

i hate brain!!! stupid boss,,,

[pliant ruin]

mean boss

kills it

[visual kiln]

lying

[pliant ruin]

im not lying!!! D:

[spring helm]

equivalent exchange this

[hoary berry]

what a silly little bomb

[spring helm]

my favourite hobby
blowing up calamitas

[sly patio]

i think azafure harnessed golden energy

thats why they were so succession

[pliant ruin]

golden energy??

[hoary berry]

what is golden energy

that sounds like some fantasy martial arts thing

[spring helm]

golden?

auric???

DRAGON POWAH!!!

[hoary berry]

auric rejection energy farm

[spring helm]

this must bve the reason why Yharim's capital was Azafure

it cant be that Azafure was the most industrious city on the planet due to its age and abundant natural resources

[hoary berry]

of course not

that would be preposterous

[scenic olive]

could you imagine how terrifying would it be

invisible man suddenly appears in your room

drops supernova

opens a rift behind him and leaves you with impending doom

[hoary berry]

at least i die to pretty colours

[spring helm]

impending doom?

[hoary berry]

also my terrarian is too sweet she would never

[spring helm]

MOON LORD!!!

[earnest flare]

i cried at the part when yharim said "this calamity is so yharover"

lore discussion

i forgor which one this is

in the beastiary

theres a cave creature thats related to the sunken sea turtle things

what is it

[hoary berry]

gem crawlers iirc

yeah i just checked it is gem crawlers

[spring helm]

huh

[hoary berry]

Relatives to the Ilmeran Sea’s prismbacks. The aquatic lizards ended up in the wild after being taken in as pets, though without the proper nutrients to grow prisms on their back, many grew the next best thing– precious gems.

[spring helm]

didnt know that

[hoary berry]

what enemy would you take in as a pet

specifically excluding critters here

[spring helm]

so they did update some of the vanilla bestiary

[hoary berry]

wdym

gem crawlers aren't vanilla

[spring helm]

THEY'RE NOT!!!!???

what the fuck

[hoary berry]

lmao

[spring helm]

im too far gone guys...

[hoary berry]

i wish they were but no they aren't
