BLOOD GOD IS KOOL AID MAN
i endorse this theory
giving me vibes of it makes you stronger, but you bleed into the cup, but as part of the pact the Blood God retains some of it, therefore when you run out of blood you frickin perish.
"The clone spits a bit of blood in disappointment and vanishes."
"The brutish shark looks elsewhere to turn its aggression."
Also Old Duke really is just a grumpy boomer.
Oh wait no, that is Mauler
reminds me of a horror story about kool aid man I read once where it was a genetically modified human deformed into a giant vat of nutrient rich blood and kept in a tank, they eventually tried to kill it because it became sentient but it survived and broke through the wall of the incinerator, its bones and skin melted into glass, kept alive by the nutrient fluid, with a gurgling scream of "oh yeah!"
Who came up with that theory!?
it was a horror fanfic someone wrote a long time ago
I can't remember the source
I think it was partially drawn as a comic maybe
might have been on reddit?
"<PlayerName>'s soul burned to cursed soot."
Brimstone Flames can attack the soul directly.
so thats why scal gets hurt by it
checks out with what we know about the stuff
shudders reddit...
she literally is going insane cuz of it
Iirc brimstone flames tooltip is ‘attacking body and mind’
idea: calamitas is an attempt to fuse the soul of a human to an elemental, similar to a god ritual
Idea: calamitascalcalcalcalcalcal callcalamitaamcal
plague, maybe?
?
or sulphuric acid poisoning
it was refering to this
"<PlayerName> imploded into nothingness."
"<PlayerName>'s body slipped into oblivion."
"<PlayerName> ceased being a part of our universe."
What?
Just what exactly do Godslayer Flames do?
it would have been a strange timing to try and do that while azafure was being obliterated
Like I think miracle blight is genuinely too quick and effective that it’s mostly painless
i think that's what caused it if this is true
no, I think it was done earlier, then the power activated later
It could also be the reason why the Brimstone Elemental woke up.
It’s probably just a really hot flame
yeag
Hotter than holy flames
Hot flames don't make you cease existence.
If they're god slaying flames, they probably entirely destroy your essence
Tool tip of god slayer inferno is ‘your flesh is burning off’
if this is godslayer flames, I think it maybe like, teleports your atoms out of the universe gradually
that is a good point
or just rips them apart
it would do that in the process
What are these
godslayer inferno death mesasges
"<PlayerName> was devastated by uncontrollable, hateful magic."
"<PlayerName> was ruined by peerless witchcraft."
"<PlayerName>'s soul crumbled from the scorn and contempt."
Vulnerability Hex.
Pretty much tells us all about Calamitas.
She a hater fr
I'm most intrigued by the "peerless witchcraft" line.
On hood
Would fall in line with the theory that Calamitas took Brimstone Elemental's powers with witchcraft.
"<PlayerName> became the blood god's sacrifice."
Corpus Avertor is apparently linked to Blood God, but it also mentions sacrifice.
Weird how connected the Blood God and Ravager are.
Yeah
Didnt ravager have 2 auric souls
I don't think she would have done it on purpose, she was like a kid at the time right?
Around 12.
Yeah
I don't think calamitas did this directly, I think her parents did it to her
and the process resulted in their death
would leviathan from ferraria calamity mod be a leviathan in monster hunter
yeah we don't really hear anything about her parents do we
I don't think so
Balls
That would be weird. Her parents aren't mentioned at all, and in Catastrophe's entry, it mentions that he was the one putting food on the table, implying that they didn't have any parents that took care of them. And you can't say that they did it to Calamitas at a young age, since Draedon could not detect someone in Azafure with that level of magic for the longest of times.
this is true
maybe she was kidnapped and was fused with brimmy's powers
by anti-yharim forces
and then brimmy awakened because she just lost most of her powers
Where was that?
Not to mention, this specifcally talks of the witchcraft being done alone.
overcomplicating it 
had parents. They're orphans. That second part might work.
peerless means unequaled
This one isn’t capitalized gotta make a suggestion for it trust
Whatever the case, we know calamitas has basically all of brimmy's power, as she is stronger than every god except Xeroc, and she did not take this power herself
Like i do think we'll get a better explanation for cal ''stealing" brims powers
but i don't think we'll get entirely new plots that have 0 allusion to in current writing regarding anti-yharim forces or her parents to explain them
I'm really not sure that brimmy would have been that powerful with all her power still
Yeah given
Anahita, Sandy and Cloud are all early hardmode, with Sandy and Cloud being less "concentrated" so they're weaker
anahita is mid-hardmode
okay
Amog Us.
die.
Well we're not entirely sure of that yet but yeah calamitas is really strong, almost unnaturaly so
do not
Her power also awakened at the same time as the brimstone elemental. I believe she had the power the whole time but wasn't able to use it because the elemental was dormant
not like she had all this power from the beggining
and then Cal's power kept growing still somehow
so brimmy probably wasn't THAT strong
I think she then became the brimstone elemental, the main incarnation of it
I don't
No, we do know that. The Exo Mech's are stronger than every god Draedon knows about. And Yharim says "nuh uh, you forgot Xeroc". And Exo Mechs are equal to Calamitas.
Fair enough
Personally, I think Calamitas' power is extremely concentrated.
Since brimmy has brimlings, lesser incarnations of the same being, I think that calamitas might be an artificially created incarnation of the brimstone elemental, sapping nearly all of its power and causing the original to become a lesser incarnation like a brimling
x_x
ehh
i mean fine as a headcanon i suppose but this is
not sure about that
I don't think she did this deliberately, I think something was done to her soul at a young age, or perhaps inherited as is mentioned once, to cause this
smth with
basically no basis
like this is entering Crack Theory territory if it were to be treated like an actual theory
It is worse than no basis. It actively contradicts the currently known lore.
"My surveillance over Azafure never signaled anyone who lived there having such power, and a mere child certainly could not hide it."
I do not suggest that this is the definitely right interpretation, however I do suggest that it is the only interpretation I can think of that doesn't omit a detail mentioned somewhere
Yeah
Actually
This
Draedon is essentially saying, as soon as Calamitas got her powers, he would've known immediately.
The entire point of Cal is that she's just a Person
yeah theres no way scal would of had these powers as a kid
And personally
what if scal just absorbed brimmy's power in some way
That's because she didn't have it. The power was dormant and unusable, but she gained it when the brimstone elemental stopped being dormant.
I think making it so that she got her powers from some sort of inheritance rather than
She willingly tried to get power to protect her family but ended up unable to control it and killed them
is
significantly less tragic and interestign
narratively
would go hard
I'm saying she was primed to have the powers upon the elemental's reawakening without actually having them the whole time
true
I do not believe she could have obtained the power herself. She would not know how.
idk if a twelve year old would think that far ahead though
Her magical ability was no better than an ordinary human
with normal types of magic*
If this was something anyone could do, other people would have done it to the other elementals
Counterpoint:
Brimstone Elemental isn't an off/on switch.
"At first she stirred. The people were cautiously optimistic."
People could tell she was waking up, which meant her power could be felt in some way, or she was visibly moving. We don't exactly know what dormant means, but it isn't a binary thing.
I mean
We are missing way too many actual elements to be able to form a solid theory on How she did it and i am going purely based off the actual meta view of what would make a Cool Story
I'd argue that the Exo Mechs are also unnaturaly strong 
No, with any of them. Her control over magic is emotion based rather than skill based, just like an elemental
Reb, is my theory sensible given the known information?
That her power was dormant but she had it somehow, so maybe she is part elemental?
elementals magic is elemental tho
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Yes?
valid
to be able to make an Actual Theory
I don't want a yes or no answer whether it's right, I just want to know if it's a reasonable theory
doubt it is but idk
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Of course, but every other theory I have seen omits something
I believe Rebecca can't say, because it would spoil too much that is planned for too far into the future (Brimstone Crags update)
these are just conspiracies
biter
calamity terraria planet is flat
the muncher
yall what we need to do
Just like an elemental?
is put everything we know about cal in one place
"Wait a second... I'm not biting into toast anymore!"
guys!
I mean
Things we know:
Her power was inherited in some way.
She could not have had the magic skill to gain this power herself.
Her powers are directly tied to the brimstone elemental.
She did not have this power until the moment the brimstone elemental fully awakened.
No.
gobul and nibelsnarf exists
my one piece paranoia made me think this said one piece instead of one place
again, too little info
so yeah probably
fair
makes more sense than a piscine wyvern
💥
ik but it still needs to be gathered
horrifying
four pieces. ...........
Zero Whole.
the fifth piece
heybecca
Heyaxia
heyrediscussion
did they piece it together yet
In fantasy settings, elementals are beings with innate magical ability that embodies an aspect of the world, and wield this magic as an extension of themselves instead as a skilled or disciplined mastery over an external force the way wizards do.
lorrendous discussions
I would like to know where you took the first point from, though
I could have sworn it was in a bestiary entry somewhere
In fantasy settings
SECOND POINT
Calamitas' Bestiary Entry.
I MEANT SECOND POINT
You started off poorly already by generalizing Fantasy Settings as all following the same rules
Then, no.
Stupecca
There is no evidence for that, as far as I can remember.
The DnD definition of elemental roughly matches the definition in calamity
Yeah but why does that matter
They're different settings made by different people
Why does the DnD definition of an Elemental matters?
Offaly britain ⁉️
We aren't talking about DnD 
The entire point of making a fantasy setting is that it's fantasy
i can do whtaever i want with it
no I meant luffy one piece trust me
We barely have a definition for Elementals aside from [Insert joke about Jujutsu Kaisen here!].
cucuzzu casser
BIG! hammr
:(
happi
time to destroy entire regions and environment with my mere presence
For the second point: it is shown that she cannot easily control her power, and that she gained it without knowledge over magic any better than an ordinary person, as is shown from Draedon dialoge. It also seems extremely strange that there could ever be a situation where an ordinary person could become massively more powerful than all but the strongest gods by taking or mimicing an elemental's power and have this not happen at other points in history with other elementals.
makes sense
That is why I believe that point to be true
Alatreon in-universe is worshipped as a being that even the gods fear
so it makes sense
quick translation on the thing :3
hi daiquiri
I'm gonna use my hammer
now really?
on you
having an eye on a hammer is so incredibly unnecessary it just causes discomfort for the hammer
take it from me, hammeruser45
Its the eye of the roadman
hammeruser45
Which gods DoG consumed?
we dunno
Getfixedboi DoG drop suggests that he had consumed Torch God (he drops many different torches in gfb) and in infernum DoG eats Providence but both are non canon.
Unknown
It's fair to assume he consumed the essence of every God killed after he joined Yharim's side, even if he wasn't the one to kill the God
He did kill Gods, but there aren't any confirmed kills
It's a good thing that he started eating them we don't need another wall of flesh incident
so like a carnivorous animal waiting for something to die to run and eat it first?
More like "oh, they just killed a God rn, free food"
There's also the fact that the essence would fester if he didn't eat it, which is a problem
Essence festering is what created the evil biomes and hallowed iirc
Maybe just the evil biomes I can't remember if the hallow is in the world somewhere or if it's just the essence being released from the god essence prison when you kill it
isnt the hallow not elaborated upon by yharim because it would paint him in a bad image because its sourced from benevolent gods
Probably
yes. It was also locked in the WoF
dude was a little bit hungry
Hello lore chat
Hello! 🪤
💣
🐊 💥
Is Dreadon publicizing most of his work so that society can make use of them? what does Dreadon do with his research, he can't just NOT publishing them anywhere
I mean, he can
though he did share much of his work and certainly his weapons technology with his allies in the yharmy
I imagine that diffused a bit to the rest of society under yharim's rule and eventually to other places
not confirmed i think but definitely seems like a reasonable conclusion yes
awh, Draedon joined and was removed from Yharim's army on the same day :(
i never noticed that
poooooooor ass kicking robot
divorced on their anniversary 

truly
does this seem correct
back to my fancy lore doc and just updating some stuff
Coool
It’s been a while since I’ve seen this
Hello fancy lore doc maker
Seems correct
Why doesn’t provi escape the terrarian?
truly our calamit
Right now it sort of just seems like she's stupid but from what devs have said there is an actual reason we just don't know yet
i mean wouldnt this depend on headcanon too? like if the terrarain canons "well, they dodge every single projectile or majority of it", it can just be automatically assumed she just couldnt
Why would it not be?
how would them dodging projectile affect provi escapingtho
but yea
technically
if you want the terrarian could use their Terrarian Glurp Technique that specifically prevents Providence from Escaping
because it implies great speed, its fair to assume provis projectile is at minimum tied with her sprinting speed
I don't think she escaped by sprinting
Like from what yharim said she just
poofed
disappeared
oh
you sure she just... didnt fly up
Most boss summon items aren’t canon iirc
they either pull up to fuck you up, or you go up to them to fuck them up
I think it might be because she sees you as a major threat, not like Yharim who wants to kill every god, but kinda in a competitor way
Like your influence is surpassing hers
I mean even then if i was being beaten to death and close ot dying and Could just Poof away i'd still leave lmao
i don't think there is any excuse for her just Not Leaving that could reasonably apply i can think of
I think she most likely had some factor that made it so she literally couldn't leave
unless poofing is free of energy or little, i doubt shes able to do that near death
Even if she was cocky i think when you realize Oh right i'm Fucking Dying then you probably would try escaping
but ye i dont see why she didnt do it before that
Hi garbo
give garbo an aureus plushy so he can sleep in peace

Yeah that’s what I assume
too heavily damaged to just
teleport
Maybe she had given some of her powers to the guardians, and losing them causes her to lose some of her power, including the teleportation?
honestly i'd expect her to act more dramatic when dying instead of just standing still
something like this before the burst of light

16 seconds · Clipped by Vessel · Original video "Kirby Super Star Ultra - All Cutscenes (Full Movie)" by RetroArchive
I mean maybe, I assume the profaned core is the power source for the guardians and them being quite strong indicates that us having the profaned artifact means we hold a probably high amount of her power, enough that it’s worth a battle to the death from her perspective
I've always thought of that but with Queen Sectonia's phase 1 defeat
What will we lore about for now?
You can turn slimes into factories.
Oh damn, how
Was god of sacrifices the god of lihzhards?
"Slimes enchanted by the Archmage, as a host to crystallize the frozen power of the tundra into a magical metal. He cast a spell to hide away most of his creations and research soon after leaving the Godseeker’s side, well aware that Yharim may attempt to exploit his previous work."
how the HELL do you type that
Lihzahrds.
Maybe, but I don’t see how warmth of the sun can be from sacrifices
Maybe because they would sacrifice stuff to feel it seeing as they were cold blooded (all reptiles are cold blooded right?) and underground but idk
Idk I saw ppl talking about lihzahrds having connections to ravager in cat
Oh so yeah for ice magic stuff slimes are amazing
I don’t see how they do outside of the death whistle needing brick
I want to create something original but I don't know what of...
Uhhh, your interpretation of noxus idk
Purposefully making goozma by putting auric ore in thousands of slimes, then conglomerating them into one.
Anyone have the WIP Unamoured DoG sprite
erm ackshually auric ore doesn't have autic souls
Slimes are the ultimate life form
They will synthesize their own
Thank you.
A GOD NEEDS HIS ARMOUR
Anyways, I have only two words to describe my thoughts on this.
Fecto Forgo.
One Piece
No.
Boowomp
Explode
kirbo
did yharim ever say "i fear whoever would call these toys" when talking about the mechanical bosses in the old lore
i remember him saying it but i read the old lore again on the wayback machine and i couldnt find it
No way are those bones, ribcages?
👍
the body is not finished but yea
" I see you have awakened Draedon's old toys.
Once useful tools turned into savage beasts when their AIs went rogue, a mistake that Draedon failed to rectify in time."
This was the Lore Item for the Mechanical Trio before the lore rewrite.
i love my nothing burgers
Nothing? This is as big as a planet compared to some old lore entries.
werent they still tools for mining and shit in the old lore tho
Destroyer was.
"A machine brought to life by the mighty souls of warriors, and built to excavate massive tunnels in planets to gather resources.
Could have proven useful if Draedon didn't have an obsession with turning everything into a tool of destruction."
Yharim was like, hyper cringe versal or whatever I would not be surprised rando machine is solarsystem level
The Twins were pretty much giant CCTV cameras.
Calamity: pickaxe 🤓 
Terraria: SPINE OF MEGAZORD CUTHULU 👽
And there is literally no information on Skeletron Prime.
Yharim just said "I'm dissapointed."
The best cctv camera
Mouth
Is there anywhere I can read the old Lore Items?
use the wayback machine with the fandom link for the wiki
Jesus Christ
and i think they archived the old versions of calamity on github
Version history for Lore Items, there's three seperate tables for Pre-Hardmode, Hardmode and Post-Moon Lord.
Here's the Hardmode one.
It is an eye... and it was watching you...
Crazy.
an eye... and now a brain... insane....
Man those are so bare bones
The Corruption and The Crimson ones are cool, I will say that
Bro’s actually just saying whatever comes to mind
It'd be cool if the Corruption had ANY ELABORATION WHATSOEVER 
Fun fact: Fecto Elfilis' theme is called "Two Planets Approach the Roche Limit"
its actually crazy how nothing these were
compare yharon's old entry to his current one

And their meteor attack is called "The Fermi Paradox's Answer"
“What do you have to say about the Eye of Cthulhu?”
“It’s interesting how that eye watched you more intensely as you grew stronger.”
“Ok?”
Anyways, I will now bestow the title "Fermi Paradox" onto Moon Lord
"Big Blob of Bacteria"
Describes what it is
"Yeah this accomplishes nothing"
Queen Bee is on the better end tbh
Well it seems like Hive Mind wasn't made to be important at all.
At least it foreshadows PBG
somehow plantera is both fucking stupid and pretty good
Well done, you killed a plant.
Skeletron had some potential, I will give it that
"well done you killed a plant"
"actually the plant is filled with souls of travellers that descended to the jungle"
damn ok bro
skelly suffered from the "never elaborate on anything" curse of old lore
It really seems like demons were meant to be something important, but because there was no demon boss, nothing ever happened
it's still probably racist
cause uhh something something old lore yharim being a dickhead asshole
Also, Aureus used to be a cyborg??
Wait wha how’d I miss that
I love how Slime God's only point was
or if they just forgot what cyborg means
"It could get really big"
yharim took one look at sg and thought "horrible"
And yet would somehow be nigh unstoppable to the likes of yharim or scal
the "you wouldnt want me at my fullest potential" curse
Was there ever lore for empress or queen slime in old lore or were they just ignored
i mentioned these two for different characters and yet both of them fit for provi
Counting the number of things you are fighting that are not at full power
So far there are two already 
Providence grows in power in the sun and we stop her doing that so three
Ok I kinda like this, if it wasn't for one thing
The fuck you mean the souls of human eyes?????
didnt you know?
Each body part has a soul.
eyeballs are little people
Controlled by little gnomes.

This either implies
1 - Eyes have souls apparently?
2 - Demon Eyes are actually human eyes, somehow
I can see where this was going
maybe replace souls with essence 😼
What if they meant to say "extracted through human eyes" instead of "from".
Doesn't make that much more sense, but still.
ehh does that count?
Anahita casually being stronger:
i dont think anahita was an elemental in old lore
She weren’t an elemental then
She was
It was by this time.
wait she was?
I think
was anahita just
weaker than brimmy
despite being later in progression and noticably stronger??
It seems to just be a case of
Brimmy is not at full power
Which, I mean makes sense
She was curbstomped by Cal
its so strangely worded though
It is!
Anahita is nearly as old as Siren was.
Number 4
"I am truly dissapointed" -YharYhar.

IT'S JUST
"Lmao this is meant to be terror?"
OK, IMAGINE SKELETRON PRIME IN REAL LIFE
I would be fucking scared of a 15 foot metallic skull flying as fast as a car.
its only not scary in the context of terraria and its visuals
gigantic fucking skull with four arms with weapons of mass destruction attached to each one
How big is a Terraria pixel again?
A block is 2 foot
prime is like 7 blocks tall?
IMAGINE THERE IS A GIANT MACHINE FLYING ABOVE YOUR HOUSE SAWING THROUGH YOUR WALLS, PICKING YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS WITH A VICE STRONG ENOUGH TO DECAPITATE THEM, BURNING YOUR NEIGHBORS WITH LASER SHOTS AND BOMBING YOUR ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD
yharim is not phased
"not enough mindless destruction" yharim, probably
To be fair, Yharim punched a table and caused earthquakes.
considering he compliments pbg on being the exact same thing basically later
without it we wouldnt have what we have now
(Wasn’t half of the lore also in the wiki and not in game)
have we already gone over how crabulons is literally just "a crab and a mushroom. A love story."
Not even. It was in this very Discord server.
In this channel.
As much as everyone jokes about Plantera
Oh damn
genuinely
contender for the most useless old lore item
That, from what I've heard, was barely active.
whats this one for?
Ok no this one is actually pretty good
Clone
ah
It very clearly explains what Plantera is and what it was used for and the start, as much as it's bad because it comes out of nowhere, could have worked very well
Yeah
Congratulations. You killed a plant.
it makes it seem like plantera was just a joke when the rest of the item says the exact opposite
Imagine beating cal clone and yharim is like “good job, you killed a failure”
My main problem is that
1 - Yharim never discredits a Boss like this except for this one time
2 - It comes off more as just discrediting the player for their win
It gives Yharim a more friendly relationship with the player, which is never repeated again.
Which is just... off putting.
Ok first of all
Why explain the Astral Infection in Aureus?
Second of all
Why repeat the same thing you did with Hive Mind?
Third of all
Cyborg...?
Cyborg.
Cyborg
well didn't you know? geldon was controlling aureus the entire time
(that still wouldnt make it a cyborg but shhhh)
It is like a cyborg in which it is part robot but no part biological, and wait actually it is all robot and fuck.
Golem, PBG and Duke are all cool so nothing to say there
i feel like they just didnt realize what cyborg meant
Aureus well known cyborg
I do have something to say about Golem.
like in DBZ dubs where they call the very clearly cyborgs "androids"
Nah, as much as we're kinda joking around, Mrrp wasn't dumb
"invariably lead to their downfall." How exactly?
Oh mrrp wrote old lore?
Yeah, Mrrp was the main writer
Oh damn
might just be another victim of the "never elaborate" curse
It is, probably
I like this
If only the ending wasn't just grossly tacked on and there weren't three elipses 
Lunatic cultist moment
what's even the point of the elipses
Bit weird lunatic cultist could stop yharim but yeah
they add nothing except the last one
No, no. I checked their old messages. It was just wrong and never fixed.
Suspense
Ok actually this is the best one
Huh
there was a blood moon entry in old lore?
Fair enough
i actually completely forgot
Yeah
Dropped by killing Cultist during a Blood Moon
Didn't you get it by beating the cultists lol
(Yeah, it's weird)
amazing
There seems to be some sort of connection between this dropping from Lunatic Cultist and the last line, but I can't put my finger on it...
yeah its pretty great
Because it just drops that, yes
the implied connection to cultist is awesome
I think it is implying that Lunatic Cultist got their powers from surviving a Blood Moon.
Gotta love lunatic cultist getting the best jackpot of insanity from the bloodmoon and gaining powers
Which is certainly a nice way to take them.
Oh my goodness it's moon lord irl in this discord channel
I never understood the last line.
thanks for explaining what it looks like
i definitely never saw it before
Number 5
Old lore is funny
old lore yharim fans explaining how this absolute fucking moron became so strong and feared
(Deus was kinda cool in Old Lore)
Number 6 is extremely close
Number 6
Why didn’t dog properly eat the worm
(Literally the next one)
Yeah this is another one that rubs me off as just mean-spirited
He was a fraud, I think.
Wasn’t moonlord a dark god or something in old lore, why not talk about that
once a fraud, always a fraud
This
I think DoG's direction in Old Lore was kinda cool but it ultimately took it too far
DoG wasn't just a fraud, he was outright pathetic
and yet, for some reason
he was still strong enough to be the third/fourth last boss
Dog when he tries to convince you he is the devourer of gods when he only ate one god and didn't even finish eating it
Wasn’t dog outright starved for food despite being that strong?
Biter of a God
The fifth strongest creature you'd get to fight 
It was literally just half eating Deus, and a reason to fridge Braelor and Statis out of the story.
they got cut off before getting to do anything
It was a nibble
Yeah...
Guardians and Folly are cool so
"I am the nibbler of a singular god fear me"
Demons and angels battled and she is the thing that formed when their powers clashed (I think)
Who is that even referring to
Providence
At least it's not angels and demons
yeah just never mention that in-game please only learn if you ask the devs
This could have been so fucking good
If you replaced "devoted to consuming others" to
"Devoted to slaughtering me"
Bam, best Lore Item in the game
"wasted potential" is lore accurate 
Number 8
oh yeah he did have that ability
too bad it amounted to absolutely fucking nothing
because he didnt do shit
And then Yharon, Exos and Calamitas are nothingburgers
they made worm kirby and did nothing with it
Thank you, Yharim, I definitely didn't get they were the magnum opus of the guy I summoned with the Codebreaker
I am so confused.
I am trying to get old lore Bestiary entries but for some reason they are going to new lore stuff.
oh god i forgot, draedon's backstory was never in-game
i thought it was in the lore item but no
AEW mentioned the Golden Age of Dragons and that was it
Not much
By all means, barely any
with the rest being locked behind random discord messages
Draedon Logs was about all of it
Daedalus' entire story never existed in game.
iirc statis and braelor were never mentioned either
Same with Braelor and Statis I believe.
God Slayer army too
actually i think noxus gets like one single line alluded to it
and its not even clear, most people would assume it means deus
fucking awesome dude
I mean, being real here I get the thought proccess
wait why the aureus item?
who knows lma
The Lore Items are pretty flawed and not a good way of telling the story
the infection was explained in aureus' item for some reason
Help.
instead of the item called ASTRAL INFECTION
I don't know what this means and I'm pretty sure it is the reason why it keeps going to new lore entries.
The Golden Age Will Return!
-Yharim probably
But it's better to have a giant block of text when you open a Lore Item than see two lines and have to go to the Wiki to get the entire story of the Boss dropped to you

Hey I have a fan theory
Imagine if Yharim has dementia and forgot who the terrarian is
You're going to get an infodump either way, at least put it in the game
So you know how when a an auric essence is expelled from a dragon and absorbed by someone, that auric soul is no longer able to be harvested? Maybe when gods are killed, the traces of godly essence left from them get absorbed by the world and slowly reform the world soul
An infinite cycle of life and death under the primordial light
horrifying implications considering the evil biomes
but dragons dont have godly essence
even then i dont understand
I am not certain if this was the Bestiary before From the Ashes, but I have no other way of finding out what it used to be with my limited knowledge of wiki usage.
https://calamitymod.wiki.gg/index.php?title=Bestiary&diff=prev&oldid=159633
The Bestiary is an in-game catalog of Terraria's various entities, including enemies, NPCs, critters, and bosses. It can be viewed by desktop opening the inventory and pressing ⚒ Use / Attack on the book icon located to the right of the item trash can, at the bottom right of the inventory. The Bestiary displays a description and basic statistic...
once u absorb a soul thats kind of just it
is the idea meant to b like
once a god dies
the figments of the world soul in their soul return to it?
cuz i can see that yeah
i mean
i dont think it'd be a thing given
Crazy bestiary entry.
World soul fragments make auric souls
Auric souls get absorbed into god essence
God essence eventually decomposition or something back into world soul fragments
@spare pier Not sure if you're still interested in this, but here.
I think that’s the loop they’re talking about
dosen't seem like it's returning to the world soul
Yeah
Ye
It's more interesting than "once it's gone it's gone forever"
👀‼️
Because then there would be so many questions
Ooooh, taking note of that
Like how was the world created, or how was the world soul shattered
Or what will happen to the world once all of that essence is gone
Oooo 
Fix... what exactly?
good morning lorers
The amount of gaps there are right now in the lore
Goodnight.
goodnight lorer
Nothing so far has explained the creation of the world soul, how everything began, or how everything ends
Which gaps?
I KEEP SAYING WHAT THEY ARE

^^^^
same thing with real life
Your "explanation" is a cycle.
Calamity isn't real life, there are many things explained that in humanity's conquest for knowledge may never find out about our own universe
I just mean does there need to be a reason for the world soul
^
It's stupid that we aren't allowed to question cal lore
Much like we don't understand certain concepts about our world, the same can be applied to Terraria. Some things just have no logical explanations, really
No one is stopping you
I get what you're doing and I won't stop you, far from that
But saying those are "holes" makes it feel like it HAS to be explained
and explaining every single thing is how you end up with a bloated world
I do not understand why an explanation needs to be a cycle. If godly essence could turn back to the World Soul as you claim, then Xeroc's sacrifice meant nothing, because in reality, it wouldn't be permanent.
Hmmm, it's not like a certain game had that issue aswell
Not going to spoil a 2023 game
This might be Late but here is my oc kingdom
So there was this kingdom that had made a packt with Noxus to gather godly essence for him. This packt also made them favorable to Yharim.
This packt was mostly possible due to the reality anomaly located in their capital. The anomaly was like a crack between our world and the distortion.
But after some time Noxus felt like he had no need for their help so he disappered. This pack was a huge deal for the kingdom so their newly crowned king ( The Terrarian) went into his mind to seek Noxus back. Due to his absence he gained the title of ”the sleeping king”. During this search the king could obviously not rule so a regent was installed.
But this regent hates Yharim so their relations soured. But without Noxuses help the kingdom was quite a liability to Yharim. So he ordered its destruction.
During the destruction the king finally found Noxus and resparked co-operation. Not wanting to lose his new pawn Noxus quikly guided the king out of the dying realm.
After this the king(Nexus). Went into hiding. Then the crusade ended and the king came out of hiding and the game finally begins.

Damn
Good that i remembered it all

I've kinda mentioned it before but all my nations are based on irl cultures that are referenced in vanilla in various ways, whether it'a NPC names, food items, vanity items or blocks
I mean if they aren't explained then they're still holes, they're just intentional
The most developed one I have rn is called Rivazzura, which is an Italy-inspired region
real life has plot holes rip
It's the anti-Yharim nation I mentioned (but not named) before
I usually get a cool idea and base my realm on them
when I'm worldbuilding I try to explain as much as possible because leaving something utterly unexplained (even in-universe theories are enough) isn't very fulfulling to me
I've always planned it to be not only a staunchly anti-Yharim nation, but to also be a huge ally of Ilmeris
I thought that said "Rizzura" for a second.
One of my favorite lore related things in the mod is to think about a possible scenario if Fovos wasn't stopped
real life only has things that we can't explain. from an objective omniscient observer, I highly doubt this is the case.
I literally have so many ideas for that that it may aswell be a mod
...just, is there a reason why Profaned Guardians are female? 
I wanted to 
Yes.
are they lesbiabs too
Main reason was more just
This might be for a different thing but i also tought of the mole kingdom. That is like these shady mole people that make scam contracts to allow people to mine ores
Hopefully.

Yes.
I have never seen an all-female cast outside of shows directly targeted at girls
Like Sailor Moon
Braelor and Statis.
Yharim and Draedon.
the onyx kinsmen is now All Gay
all 300 of them
(the number 300 is made up. i just made it up right now.)
"Is he gay or European?"
yharim's crusade is an allegory for lgbtphobic people
and bee haters
Ok even though it's kind of out of the scope of my stories' timeline, I've been thinking that they'd be one of the first nations to accept Ilmeran refugees (assuming that there were even any other Ilmerans left after Calamitas destroyed their entire nations)
#savethebees
Yharim is an allegory of Right Wing Politicians in America.
#MakeQueenBeeReal
😭
I mean i doubt Amidias is the only illmeran left
Yeah that's what I thought too
Both because i doubt the incineration killed all of them and also bc i feel like even if the majority lived in the sunken sea surely a entire species of people wouldn't be restricted to only 1 civilization
Yep
which dragon did the god of the sea come from
dragon of water or something
calamity is going woke smh
(its not public)
retracting my patreon
frickin saltwater soup dragon
Did you think it was good?
dragon of anahita
Devs on their way to make Earth Elemental straight (this is a lot of damage to gays):
robots can be any sexuality you want
:3

Kabula
Don't make me do it
I liked the Sleeping King part tbh
earth elemental is Earth Elemental gender
shame
I also have a Japan-inspired nation which is the pro-Yharim nation I mentioned but not named before :O
I still have yet to find a good name for it though
earth elemental identifies as igneous
manchester
I also gotta consider Statis and the Onyx Kinsmen though
😭
Ireland
Now that I think of it, the Onyx Kinsmen kinda fit with what I've planned for that nation, which has something to do with precious stones (especially pearls)
(The name of the group at least)
Thx
Making my own civilisation sounds... interesting...

that do be what terrarium boi do
cleveland
i have a few civilizations i need to develop further in my story project
What you want a better name? Ok then, wales
Normal
The project you shared?
yes develop them civilizations
🙏
So true!!!!!!!!
(geopolitics nerd is me)
the only one i got a solid grasp one is the Highly Patriotic Military Junkyard Garbage Civilization
also known as the United STates
I like that i needed to say both Junkyard and Garbage to get the point accross
Kind of like the US but like
more garbage
like literal garbage
how is that possible
plumg
Cyberpunk Dystopia America.
The entire setting of my story is a cyberpunk dystopia so you get that right lmao
Wall-E universe
plastic beach
basically that
though actually
i think its not cyberpunk
given it has magic
its smtheles
i remember hearing abt it
its like
aetherpunk or smth
mixing magic + technology basically
sparkles plus gun
Magitech?
I'm offended
I'm making brazil shittier in my world to compensate
well can you deny that the us is highly patriotic and militaristic .................
As a US citizen
yes
it is exactly that
I'm literally liberty prime
only pay for what you need
Don't worry I'm already doing that
You're a lore writer right
Yeah
Is Cal a cat person
Yes
Lets goooo
You couldn't tell?
its canon now
she seems very like the type of person who would benefit from having a cat
walter green
thank you rebecca. this will be remembered
someone needs to make that meme with cal
Who is cal, the cat or the human
the human I would assume
if voodoo dolls can just be made then why doesn't the terrarian just make a yharim voodoo doll
putting this here as well from cmt
terraria calamity speedrun
goes to snow biome
goes to evil biome
makes yharim voodoo doll
toss it on a lava puddle
gg
i mean, how much would that truly change i think he's just watching us atop the dragon's aerie he already did everything he set out to do
He explicitly didn’t do everything he wanted to
welp
He is actively still trying to do everything he wants to do
if we killed him in a day with a voodoo doll we still havent done anything to rebuild the world
yeah but the evil guy is dead
One evil guy is dead.
yeah evil guy dead but my house is still burnt to the ground
Now we need to make a voodoo doll of Yharon.
Isn’t lava basically the equivalent to the beach that makes you old for yharon
Don’t think that’s working
There are other ways to kill a person via voodoo doll.
Like drowning.
Or just, general suffocation.
Honey heals though, wouldn’t that just make yharon feel pain but not die
i think it'd be the opposite
it'd soothe his external wounds but he'd ultimately drown
I guess was thinking too much in game logic there
yharim's honey addiction spread to yharon and he just drinks all the honey
I mean in terraria you drown in honey faster than you heal
Fair
you can drink water to heal while your drowning
it goes down the other pipe, duh
you can drink an inferno potion while in lava
you can drink any potions while in lava actually
you can drink lava
Thank you Sisyphus Prime, I will do this right away
