is silva alive in the abyss
Yeah
Yesnt
yes silva is a semi-living corpse in the abyss, her essence allowed life to flourish in the abyss as she slowly regenerates
Wait I don’t want to draw that actually nvm
ears...
thats cool
Girl why you so ears
she also blessed the first eidolon wyrm, also known as the primordial wyrm, giving it even greater powers than it once had, and making it basically the strongest thing in nature other than a few characters like Yharim and Xeroc
She is nigh immortal due to being a elemental and their domain being life
will she regen
Yea
Silva can’t die because she’s an elemental but Yharim basically blender’d her physical body
eventually
what would silva think about discussions about her ears
Ew
when can i fight her then
I’m gonna hug
whar
As described by this (very serious) fanfic I wrote
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RURTNUFPcO-UJL2gKHFAYDdJVksNQv9le2ch-koYsa0/edit
Yharim watched as his soldiers scoured the ruined city. It had been a long and arduous battle, but victory was his once more. Another step closer to his final goal of exterminating the gods. Before any rebuilding could be done however, one more thing must be done. “We cannot allow any pieces of ...
aw
Silva won’t regen while we play, she takes like years to decades to regen
whar

You gotta water her with elemental essence
Oh fuck you actually did it lmao
Legends say if you leave a world open for 20 consecutive years you can actually see Silva herself
No wonder anahita left then
The one piece…
The singular portion is factual
Remove your liver
Who is reading it
me

As a mortal attuned to a Dragon, Yharim was able to sense the presence of auric souls, though it was faint. Although the ritual for Godly Ascension permanently destroyed the Auric Soul, it was done through assimilation. As such, traces of their domains could still be felt, even if they were near indistinguishable from the cosmic background that the Primordial Light painted through the universe. It would take immense focus and will to be able to sense such minute fluctuations.
i love this paragraph
1233popcorn
I wrote it as a joke but also used it for worldbuilding
Because idk
I like doing it
Also gives Yharim more powers than
Punch
and
Reject
Behind the noise of the world, behind the Primordial Light, behind even the Eternal Darkness, he felt it. The tiniest ripples across the fabric of space and time. A primaeval force that, although not present in the beginning, dominated the cosmos as one of the strongest energies once catalysed. The echoes of Life.
this one too
i like the way you've approached doing this
This one came from the fact that life shouldn’t really be an element, since it requires the existence of so many others
One Piece Is Real
How much destruction would polter cause if it was set free
I wrote this at church
I think the continent would be fucked
Same

It would grow with each kill and each soul merged
Yeah that’s why I think the continent atleast would get fucked
This is why I wrote it
despicable
mrrp was right though
genuinely tense and immersive build up to a silly punch line
i loved it


the silva piece is reall!!
Hello mokkuuu
How does an elemental revive? If it needs a soul (we know they have one, Silvas a god) would polter be able to permanently put down somehting like brim
Or would polter like farm a elemental for elemental souls
I guess their soul is in all of the corresponding element
Hence why you gotta wipe out the entire domain to kill an elemental
Would this entail that elementals could be related to the world soul
Polterghast the elemental hard counter?
I really like the polter design the relic has
I’m unsure about my writing
I think the sentencing is quite awful for the most part and that it lacks something
does silva have human skin or is that supposed to be wood
Just like how anahita is water but looks fish she prob is entirely plant but looks and prob feels like human skin
I think it’s regular skin, the wood is in the armor, why you asking
Could be curiosity
show?
(Hopefully nothing weird)
guess silva and anahita are exceptions?
the other elementals seem to be made of their element
there is also the morality tier list by cei which shows brimmy as lacking morality but anahita as evil
maybe anahita is also more sapient than the other elementals
Brimm phase 1 will probably be changed to not be made of fire completely
Maybe
Getting back to the surface, Léa wasn’t able to see properly due to nighttime having set in already, but she saw a flicker of candles in the horizon along with a dim shape of a castle-like structure. Sick of the horrible conditions of the corruption, she made a run for it, the purple grass gradually turning greener and greener. Finally out of the disease-ridden land, she walked to the castle, where there sat an old man in ragged clothes and messy white hair. Upon noticing her, he was startled initially, but he quickly recomposed himself and smiled at her. After asking him why he was sitting there, he told her that he had been cursed a long time ago by a cult, and it would need a strong warrior to defeat his curse and set him free. The man also saw the large wound she had on her side, and offered her a roll of bandage. The bandage he gave was very old and likely not that clean, but she appreciated the gesture anyways. As she was wrapping the bandage around her wound, she asked what the place they were in was. She was told that it’s a dungeon where Yharim threw his prisoners he acquired from the crusade in, and that his curse didn’t permit anyone from entering it to protect outsiders from a wrathful amalgam inside. He told her about some of the more tragic cases, where his curse had to kill some of the bolder explorers that didn’t listen to his warnings. It was done to prevent the souls from merging into the amalgam, making it stronger. She thought how boring and agonizing the man’s life must have been, shackled to a forgotten and deteriorating building, forced to keep strangers away. Willing to help him, she promised him that she would free him when she got strong enough. The man chuckled and thanked her once more before she got up and started walking towards a familiar-looking desert in the distance.
Haven’t really read this part so typos etc might exist
Though it could be outdated
Voila have a text wall
Rude
No
nah it's for new lo- wait what do you mean it's been over 1.5 years after the lore update
I mean that internal plans for the characters could be different
I really hope you paragraphed this in your document
Can you show the tier list?
Yes
I thought that the "Lacking Morality" tier also had another thing, but i forgot what it was.
I had seen it but it is atleast a few months old
yeah it's almost a year old so it may be slightly outdated
It seems good I don’t notice anything strange or off with it
Folly is self-defence too I think
Oh moonlord put in the “worse then pure evil” tier or whatever the bottom one it
"Somehow worse than a mindless entity meant only to kill"
Not even that, it’s mind controlled by the infection
still think its interesting that anahita is evil but brimmy doesnt have free will
or morality
It lacks variety I feel
or maybe she's an ai like draedon 
Azafure was just a reflex
Reads very same for such a long piece of text
Maybe there is some difference between elementals that we are unaware of
reddit sucks and i cant see it
can someone post
the image itself here
Like intelligence differs between elementals and silva is the smartest
whats desert scourge doing there
it's just a wild animal 😭
it should b alongside king slime and crab and etc
oh it's made by cei?
Yeah cei made it
No way that’s made by cei
Literally click on the link
Cei posted it
maybe skurj is just a prick
what sticks out to me is
-- using proper dialogue, whilst obviously not necessary, would potentially help make the old man feel more alive—presently he feels like he's just... there, though that could just be me
-- as popcorn said, paragraphing is very important, splitting it up nicely can help a bunch to make it more digestible
-- i think the dungeon itself, and perhaps the atmosphere (as in, the mood, not so much the air itself though you could definitely comment on something like screams echoing or the smell of rot) could do with more description; you've said that the dungeon is there, and the old man has revealed its purpose, but it feels like you immediately jumped away from the focus on the dungeon itself, when i personally feel like it would be taking up a lot more of Léa's attention, especially once the old man reveals its purpose. she's standing before a giant structure, whose walls are painted with misery and halls are filled with unending pain, yet she kind of just brushes it off and puts the whole thing in the corner of her mind
i'm not super focused rn so if this message is a garbled mess mb
so i assume desert scoog might also be outdated yeah
like the only changes i think i'd make would be
Nope I get it
Yeah I got quite a lot to rewrite lol
i think the way you've written it is a pretty good way to approach a first draft
you're getting all of the main content in there and hinting at what might come next
then you can revise it as you improve with writing to flesh it out more and more until you're satisfied
Bitch why do you think it's on "self defense"? 
evil scoog arc
plotting world domination
For a giant brain botc is treated like a brainless creature


i should make an emoji for my other cats
ok here's mine based on what we know
why is old duke in evil
They starve their children.
w?
It would be more fitting if you said expanded instead of new.
i mean kinda but not entirely
Saying new sounds like it is replacing, not adding onto.
it is sort of replacing tbh
There was nothing to replace in the first place.
like current old duke was supposed to be just a random ass animal
new old duke is a whole ass guy
ok returning to the gay lawyer game now goodbye
bye bye
Ace Attorney?
yep
Okay cheese, I know she was manipulated to doing what she did, but she’s still not a good person
Yet
someone found the malnourished pigron and fishrons in its rework
shark dragon hybrid
honestly what were the relogic devs on when they made all of thos dragon hybrids
the sharkrons and pigrons and fishrons....
fair enough but i also definitely don't think she's a bad person
she might not be actively going out of her way to do good yet but i think her morals themselves are good
she's just not very proactive
Not really a surprise when her manipulator likely has a global reach of influence from her perspective
yea
she's probably too afraid to do much tbh
sometimes you just gotta stay inside the cave
and not leave
truly
I imagine she prob thinks she doesn’t stand a chance against yharim, thanks to manipulation and auric rejection nuking anyone who even touched him prob made that a stronger beleif in her mind
peak.
CALAMITAS CAVE EPISODE
cavewoman
-# somebody?
-# make it yourself, be the change you want in the world
yharon isnt evil cmon, give it the chicken nugget rank now
and put yharon in that rank
i have a really old image for this uh
Wha
yharon's fried chicken
calamity is so calamitous
OH WAIT I ALREADY DID
Clouds cover the sky, leaving no room for sunbeams. Perhaps darker clouds would have been preferable. The dark shadows they cast would have broken the monotony. Now it’s just all a dull grey. Always has been, ever since she arrived and made herself home. Another problem caused by her. Calamitas...
Calama-rama
This is the only Yharon fried chicken meme I got though
bro is about to absorb devil fruit powers
oh my god i love this i hadn't given that much thought to what calamitas was doing during our time in the land slaying the gods and the ending is so heartwarming, she's so confused by the being she thought would bring the downfall of everything left showing a genuine act of kindness 
Thanks
btw
i heard cyborg npc is a draedons robot
i am sure i saw cyborg saying smth like that
Ok but this goes to you @spring helm (even tho I haven't read the last one you sent and I only read the One Piece thing ajshhdgd)
he's not a draedon robot
ye ye mb
just the person who built him wanting to be better than draedon
This is quite the award
So can he shoot lasers from his eyes?
🩵
he actually doesnt, he shoots rockets
which is lame tbh
His creator failed him
Respectfully, that is no car, thats a truck
I’m not a car person so I wouldn’t know
😔
Why does your loaf of bread have burn marks on the top?
Not mine, it just approached me as I was walking home
Ask the baker
Damn, I added dialogue and more description and man it got better
Just reading through the public google doc on Calamity's lore I am enthralled, I can easily see why this is one of if not the most beloved content mod on Terraria.
It feels sort of like it's own game, an alternate universe of what Terraria might of become.
-# Splendid.
I also may have spent an unreasonable amount of time throwing the lore I knew along with lore entrees from the Google Doc into Obsidian.
And it's fascinating to see all the connections.
we're also all very hyperfixated on the lore
you'll like this place when people aren't rambling about the xeroc tax or whatever the hell
look, that's past us now.
So
When Omni doesn't show up basically
true
no omni rambles about monster hunter
omnirotting
which isn't much better but still
omni's brain has been rotting recently
funny red witch melt ocean yeey
she evaporated the upper layers
must be heavy rainfall then
cuz water vapour go to clouds
probably the reason for toxic downpours
i think the toxic downpours just happen because... well
but just too shy to say that
you're in the sulphuric sea.... yknow
depends on what your character does
no that was draedon doing some funny environmental terrorism
(dumping nuclear waste into an already sulphurous ocean)
Draedon is just an alien onceler
i do think it's funny how he goes "yeah i could fix it"
draedon does it cause he doesnt give a shit
"i don't want to but i could"
and cause he wants to see what happens
Draedon mostly just does things because he, in the most literal way possible
Wants to fuck around and find out
If hes not an alien what is he hes built like a big grasshopper
His entire drive is knowledge
hes a robor
He's an AI
:p
The "body" you see ingame isn't biological
robors can look silly
who made draedon then
It's just a drone
unknown
draedon likes yharim lmao
we dont know who they were
Some dead guy who may or may not be himself
he's also a gamer
we just know they were dead when draedon woke up
which explains the shrimping
lorde made draedon
other way around
thats why he doesnt assist ya in attacking tyrant
This chat is really cool when it's actual conversations and not just brainrot...
no not the other way around
very true
yharim doesn't like draedon
god i cant wait to talk about new stuff when sso drops
Yharim dosen't like draedon
Draedon is completely and utterly indifferent to Yharim, much like how he is to literally anyone else
I’m yhimming my shit rn I gotta yhoke up for the Yharim fight
What if Yharim IS Draedon............
you're mom is draedon

after the pbg incident, the only reason he even talked to draedon again is because he got jumped and he wanted better armor
Dreadon messed with the bees, so he got put in Yharim's book of grudges, right next to the traitor almighty.
I think at this point Yharim might not truly hate Draedon anymore
But he also dosen't like him in the slightest
It's probably a like
Draedon being an ai explains a lot because i never really understood how he was still alive after i wand of sparkingd his ass when i beat the exo mechs
"Yeah ok do your thing but don't get anywhere near me"
I think he's too petty
He has more then one body
Fair point
he tells himself he hates draedon and that he's a monster
that's a recon drone
he's also, like, 600 years old
not his actual body
despite not actually really hating him
I vaugely recall some lore detail about his chair being in better condition then his recon bodies, showing he cares more about his RGB flying gamer chair then his recon bodies.
I do still think he dislikes him, i just think he's less vehement in his dislike of him
But
Honestly
Yeah, he is incredibly petty, so maybe not
Well duh
Oh yea, I have a question
forgive me
fine
yey
Wait so is yharon like one of the dragons that like ruled everywhere ages ago
or is he something else
ye
Then something i dont get
You know
Someone named Dodged Music released an fan theme for Yharim today, it's surprisingly high quality for a channel with about 300 subs.
But what caught my eye is how they incorporated the lore into the lyrics, talking about the serpent with his silver tongue, singing a response to Yharon's theme, and eventually the traitor almighty, Xeroc.
Where would I post a link to this music?
is when you kill scal or exo mechs
Killing dragons is dumb
Yharon reincarnates whenever he dies
You get the cynosure lore
Which says “this is the power the dragons had”
not always
What i mean is that you can put dragonfolly into generator for infinite energy
flame dragon:
Profit
Cynosure:
"You now stand at the brink of infinity. The power you have amassed is extraordinary.
Valor and deceit, truth and falsehood, loyalty and betrayal… you are beyond these notions.
You have rent all asunder as they crossed your path. The very land now bends to your will.
Do you not see how the grass parts where you step, how the stars illuminate where you gaze?
Terraria itself kneels to you, whether it be out of fear or respect.
This is the strength the Dragons held. The primordial power they commanded.
Little stands between us now. If you did not seek battle with me, I doubt you would have come so far.
When you are prepared: seek the grave of the Light, at the summit of the [[Dragon Aerie]].
I await your challenge."
Here you are.
Yharim’s comparing your level of power to that of the auric dragons
Ohhh
that wasn't a resource people needed at the time
I thought like
its hyperbole btw
he's hyping you (and the dragons) up
The dragons were as strong as we were
not all of them tbh
most dragons were weaker
...probably not most of them
Ah, thank you for the clarification.
i didnt know he was just comparing tbh
their strength varied yeah
yharon is one of the strongest ones
...Actually literally just zeratros to be honest
i doubt the fatass dragon of gluttony was as strong as, say, the dragon of death
like at that point it's literally just zeratros that could match you in strenght
especially if you compare Slime God's strength to Ravager's
Yharim is not beating the dragon bias allegations
Loring are we
Will we ever actually kill the slime gods because they’re smart enough to flee from fights they know they cant win
yes
yes.
we kill them with queen slime
queen slime:
We kill them in queen slime fight
We killed them already yeah
Goozma
oh
💥

I think Yharim is not biased at all.
rework my girl, make her cool
first trans calamity character deserves a better fight......................
This guy fell to the yhapaganda
Obviously all the Auric Dragons were at Post Exo Mechs and Calamitas strength.

Then why could we beat one of the strongest before
sarcasm
i like the idea queen slime isn't even a girl and the terrarian just looked at pink slime with a crown and went "Ok the blue one with a crown was king slime"
"this one is queen slime"
No propaganda, just his biggest fangirl.
and slime god is just like
How would sg taste lik
"i'm gonna die to a fucking moron"
im an idiot
why
why is everything food to you
lines up with the rest of their naming schemes
ok
but
trans slime god
is funnier
Can you stop with the vore
trans slime god isn't funny and is actually kind of annoying to me tbh
Slime goddess*
atleast atp
:(
Oh my fucking god discord mobile sucks
Is the terminus canon
yes.
yes
Yes
do we even really know anything about them
other than like
I find it funny that in vanilla canon, the player is just someone that showed up one day and started murdering powerful beings on mass, and people are just showing up to watch.
no not really
we know that like
statis worshipped them and they merked the dragon of gluttony
they were worshipped by onyx kinsmen and their job is keeping the balance
and thats kinda it honestly
we don't know anything abt
who they were, what their actual personality or motivations are, their morals
like
straight up they're just THere
If the terminus is canon then like has anyone beat the boss rush in lore
It’s a artifact likely used in perfect ascension
No because you're the first person to do it
It's a challenge xeroc made specifically for you
Boss rush may be a recent thing, if not specific to us
Xeroc was pissed and locked it at abyss
Then why do other people know abt it
They don't?
🫤 _ _
Then Jared deemed it his
Where?
i still like my "slime god used to be basically a corrupt noble who was forced into a change of heart when they ascended" theory because it's kinda funny
Boss rush happens cuz someone taking it and attracts xerocs attention
I swear when you first use it it says few people know of its existence
(Cirrus is weird in terms of canonicity)
So he tests ya
Ohh
terminus is something xeroc used
Boss rush isn't directly related to the terminus
is she?
i assumed she was just

so do we know what would happen if someone used it before us
Ye
Xeroc and Silva
maybe perfect ascension
They used it during their ascencion ritual
Fabsol threatened to put whoever made cirrus not canon in a choke hold
and had a perfect ascencion
That wasn't serious
^
Cirrus is still not canon
ohhhhhh
Fab dosen't rly do anything lorewise, he said so himself
Yharim hyping the power of the auric dragons:
the auric dragons being as strong as the eidolon wyrms:
Does the primordial wyrm have like anything to do with the lore is it just old and thats about it
Zeratros being relatively equal to yharim
silva and being blessed by her
It’s blessed by silva and hates usurped primordial light
draconic offshoot
Primordial wyrm is a really old eidolon wyrm, probably the oldest, that got blessed by Silva
oh
I think it's the other way around, the Eidolon wyrms being almost as strong as the auric dragons, being an offshoot of them.
she's immortal
yes
From moss
Either way dragons aren’t as strong as people think
Ye
She can’t even really die
you have to kill all life to kill her
Which may include other elementals
We basically do that anyway
Oh, do y'all want to see some concept art for Yharim? I'm not sure if it's official, but it sure is cool looking.
no?
hows the lore goin
As in, a single bacteria cell lets her live
yharim will always have a higher kill count
Oh
Not sure, I'm new here but I'm having a blast.
so for her to die everything must die
Yharim has hundreds of millions of people dead due to him
Yes
The idea that the terrarian is some evil mass mruderer that kills everyone has always been weird for me
We just Kill Enemies and Bosses
like
the same way it works in every game ever
like even stuff thats sort of alive like plants
Yes
You can see the concept art for Yharim in one of the pinned messages in this channel.
like by that same logic
Tbh they start
Its self defense
no?
Probably even other elementals, and brimm needs all heat gone for her to die
Mario from Mario Brother is a evil genocidal maniac that caused the extinction of all life in the planet because he stomped some goombas
most of them start
melon, show them the image
some of them are just
unnecessary
Stomping
Koopas
(Pretty sure this joke is no longer funny)
something something mario is a sociopath (he playfully stepped on his brother's shoe that one time)
Mario the Man versus Mario the Idea.
How messed up would the lore be if anahita fought with a primordial wyrm
god that theory was ass
Tbh
If silvas remains are i abyss
Not much, anahita is much weaker
die as much as elemental can die anyways
Like wyrm is above scal and anahita is below golem
GT science theories >>> GT story theories tbh
ok true
Does it mean yharim brutally slaughtered her and her insides out and all that moss is her remains and gors?
Ik but i was just wondering
moss is her influence

Ah, thank you kindly.
Though I will admit, I feel like some of these designs could work just as well, even if they're more of a fantasy theme.
Yeah, the plant moss is also her growing her influence
Im guessing because primordial wyrm is a superboss and is mainly for the challenge and not the rewards the drops arent canon because its mainly just void loot and halibut cannon
YHARIM PRIME
Ultrakill
☹️
☹️
V1 doesn't stand a chance.
i'm gonna ultrakill you
Can yharim railcoin
i can smell the warhammer influence
and i know nothing about warhammer
i think they're formerly semi official? not entirely sure
Yharim can punch the coin
V1s dead before the fight starts
Yharims presence instantly kills him
The official yharim design is in pins
Big Mac goes hard
Oh, there were two more, and these are colored.
Most official character designs are
this isn't official
That's good to know.

are you here for lore?
official character designs
guys does anyone know who the monk from the rock lore actually is
i feel like you're just here for the trolls
Xeroc
Sebastian
☹️
WHY ARE YOU ALL SO FAST ITS SCARY
You make me sad.
We lore like
Ok ok sorry
we're all very brainrotten
I think this was the first design of Yharim I saw, but it wasn't official I don't think. I love how they incorporated his stimulants into the design.
Wtf with his legs
I know this might be like a big question but who actually IS xeroc
And arms
I think the yharim in this gif is from official art
It was official at some point but is greatly outdated now
Cuz hes mentioned everywhere but idk who he actually is
yea it's just old
bird feet
first god, dragon monk, god of primordial light and possible protector of the world
A human who consumed the auric soul of the strongest dragon, Zeratros, while he was in a almost-dying state and ascended, becoming the very first god, with domain of primordial light
oh wow
Dragon monk-ey
Unintentionally kickstarted the hunt for auric souls
And maybe (MAYBE) hunting noxus in distortion so it doesn’t threaten terraria
since people saw him ascend and were like
☹️
"ay i wanna do that too"
so xeroc is basically the big guy in charge of like everything
I won't deny it looks cool, though I think I prefer the more fantasy-esc look of the concepts, no shade to the person who made it though, it looks cool.
🙂
No not really
He's not quite in charge of anything or anyone
xeroc dipped
are we ever gonna fight xeroc or is the final boss still reserved for yharim
They're just sort of doing their own thing
Yharim is gonna be the final bos still yes
potentially yes
Xeroc
He could be if he wanted
But he has kinda just left the planet to its own stuff
might
yharim is the final boss of the main plot
come as a post-yharim superboss
xeroc would be additional content
maybe, it will just be more like a challenge than a fight
Yharim has what I consider to be the coolest example of "You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain".
Final boss is yharim, we may fight noxus and xeroc later but they will be optional and super bosses
Well
hero?
Hero?
Not exactly
except he was never a hero
Like primordial wyrm in that its hard, optional and has minimal rewards
Imagine going to aerie and then finding yharim died of old age
He went to genocide immediately
Wait let me explain rq
old joke
someone made before you 
I made it
I think they made it idk
He
i made iy
really?
me
n o one else
you either gaslight people into thinking you're a hero or live long enough to only leave behind those who remember you as a villain
you either die a villain or live long enough a villain
I must have outdated lore, because I thought he started turning for the worst when he recruited the Devourer of Gods into his army, the serpent manipulating him into doing worse and worse.
I recall Dreadon's first contact with him being while he was down on the ground helping with reconstruction efforts of a small kingdom he took over.
he says DoG's recruitment is when he started going downhill
Yharim, despite what he tells you, was never really a hero to begin with - He had seen gods as inherently evil and wished to eradicate them from the start. In his eyes, his flaw was never within the mass genocide he committed, it was most definitely with how throughout the years of the crusade, he started having to resort to tactics, that, in his eyes, were probably not ideal.
Yharim thinks that he was a hero who fell, and thinks his genocide was a "heroic mission", vanquishing evil. When in reality, he was a terrilbe person from the start. He sees flaws in himself, but not his true flaws
yes but he was always the worst
Well he thought he was “you die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become a villain”
But if you asked those he genocide they’d say he was always a villain
he could just be lying though
guys do we know whos mass producing wulfrum robots
Do note how
i mean he was always a mass murdered
John wulfrum (we don’t know)
now think to yourself
he just realized he was a mass murderer a little later than most people would
Literally me then i feel sillier then usual
how would someone who's literally known to be terrible at lying possibly manipulate Yharim, who's a expert tactician and manipulator?
its such an insignificant little thing but i must have it answered
Oh... That's a good point.
That's the thing, the devourer most definitely didn't manipulate Yharim to begin with
John Wulfrum
incomprehensible
a scourge even
Yharim is simply shifting the blame onto him, whether as a tactic to manipulate us, or as to alleviate his own subconscious guilt, probably both
Big ass worm manipulated tyrant
Do remember his goal was to kill all gods from the start
Lmao
It's easier to blame the giant asswipe alien
Like dog at best made him worse a bit quicker
Imo he would have caused a polter anyways
so thats what he does
No way
It never was "I'll kill the evil gods" and then throughout the years he went "I'll kill all gods"
it was too convenient for yharim
He is feeding on gody essence
DoG was literally right there
Arent we technically a god because we killed the exo mechs which have killed gods
Not on humans
he started with evil gods to build his reputation
he never consumes it
not how it works
No that's not how it works
it gets transported away
I'd likely feel similar if I watched someone betray the protectors of Terraria, claiming their Auric souls, become Gods, then want to use me to rule as a God king.
have the exo mechs killed gods?
technically, you can beat gods after the wall of flesh
shame, being a god would be cool
since you kill slime god right after
draedon has no reason to kill gods
So brk shits into other dimension
yharim propaganda strikes again
I mean draedon says theyve rivaled gods
DoG: “Yharim you should let the prisoners in the dungeon die and form a giant ghost.”
Yharim, who was going to do that anyway: “Foul serpent, how dare you force my hand. My actions henceforth are not my own but.”
yeah but so does scal
Id kill gods cuz i wanna their power
Well, that's the thing:
-Yharim never saw Xeroc "betray" zeratros
-The gods that wanted yharim to be god-king weren't representative of all gods. They were simply some gods
The thing is
Gods are almost entirely independent from eachother
i dont think you can absorb god power
the issue is that yharim treats dragons as completely innocent and pure beings and gods as irredeemable monsters
its a completely black and white worldview
Some are, indeed, evil, and deserve to be killed, yes
too unstable
What did providence actually do
Technology of lrc
ravager was a god right?
correct
otonilou, tyrian and others
Its like a failed ritual isnt it
yharim did not care, he deemed all of them was evil on the single thread that they absorbed an auric soul
You could literally be a saint, someone who saved millions, who was kind to everyone, and yharim would still kill you
Wouldn't you still have to murder a Auric Dragon to become a God, and said dragons were the protectors of Terraria.
Me when I paint my enemies as ontologically evil (all atrocities are justified and acceptable now, even to those only indirectly related to them):
Heck, he wouldn't just kill you
you can argue killing a dragon made them all morally grey
Yes, but do note:
- Dragons are not inherently benevolent
- There is still external nuance to that action
but then what if the dragon was terrorizing people and was a menace?
does that make slaying them a sin?
but you dont have to be the one that kills the dragon
Wait so if you kill an auric dragon you’re a god
what if the dragon
True, so it's more complicated then that.
was already dying
as seen by the profane meatballs
not just kill
you need to absorb its soul through a ritual
☹️
and nobody knows how to do that pretty much
we have like an infinite disposal of yharon soul fragments
Somewhat unusual id say
☹️
fragments
What if the dragon let you kill it, due to being on it's last legs and wishing for someone to inherit its power? Or, for a more morally gray area: What if someone didn't have a choice? What if they had no choice but to obtain the power of godhood to save someone they loved? There's probably more possibilites off i can't think of, but still
Point is
enough fragments makes a whole though
you dont have the full soul
and regardless, you dont know the ritual
not attuned and we dont know how or why we cant absorb yharon
Tbh thats probably ultra painful for yharon
Yharim is, no matter which you way to look at it, a terrible person
yeah id say dying is painful
But onto this
Yharim did, in fact, kill benevolent gods
I mean image part of ur heart is just cut off
Notably
Otonilou, the goddess of electricity, was one of them
She was said to be more or less a saint
that is barely any of his soul
And how did Yharim respond?
i personally think it's not because we dont know the ritual, but that yharon's soul works differently to other dragons
it's just fragments
Jeanne d’Arc if she was a jellyfish lady
if we really wanted to become a god we could ask somebody
who are you gonna ask
Send the child soldier he manipulated and gaslighted to nuke your entire kingdom, killing not only you but all of your followers and causing a ecological collapse, destroying a entire civilization and likely causing the extinction of hundreds of species
xeroc
who would tell you
xeroc
he is NOT telling you
It’s okay they were evil (according to me)
xeroc doesn't really have a reason to tell you
none of them do
blind user:
he only doesnt give you an offer because you arent quite good enough
what better way to push you over the edge than becoming a god
for all we know they might feel terrible for killing Zeratros, let alone causing the near extinction of all auric dragons
Enough
Why so much hate towards me
I am just being silly : (
he does say yharon was once hs friend
Your vore talk about bosses
I highly doubt xeroc
dosen't
feel regret or guilt
for indirectly causing every remaining dragon to fucking die
so maybe nobody would teach you the ritual
even if unintentionally
They were both around at the same time and both close to zeratros
just calling yharon an old friend suggests they wouldnt do that
plus they consider Yharon to be an old friend iunno if they'd want you to permanently kill him
again, the circumstances of their ascension are way too vague rn
the only people i can think of either hate gods or are evil
maybe silva or some other "living" god but idk
Tbh i am sure most of gods are good
highly doubt silva could tell you
anything
People that can tell you how to ascend:
-Xeroc (why would he do that)
-Yharim (Pfft.)
-Silva (your best choice but we don't know enough about her to say anything but based on the pattern we have... probably not)
abyss
provi and slime god - they are literally trying to murder you
already had life
and they're dead
Abyss already had life, she made it flourish
before silva was dropped in there
silva is just a battery
silva was a booster rocket
Oh well mb
Abyss life probably consisted of shitty crabs and fish before silva came in
a battery that will eventually become a solar powered ecosystem spanning the continent
Like a mf reaper shark was NOT gonna live in there without silvas influence
So Yharim was someone who justified his actions because people did what he considered an unforgivable sin, absorbing the Auric Soul of the Auric Dragons, the protectors of Terraria who just barely managed to seal a now weakened husk of the Moon Lord into the moon, now finding themselves in a weakened state.
He'd use it to justify taking over other nations who dared support these "deities", burning the places of worship.
He'd manipulate a young girl named Calamitas into fighting for him, despite Permafrost's wishes.
Maybe during this point he thought it was a fair judgment, but as time passed, he came to realize the full weight of his actions, falling into a depression.
Is this right?
Go slimelamitas
what about eidolon wyrm, when was that thing alive
blob
most fearsome pre-silva abyss predator
is silva conscious
Daym
i don't know why but saying "shitty crabs" is funny to me
get rotated
idiot
Nope
NOt really
Pretty sure that’s 100% correct
Idk
See, yharim is very much depressed, yes
She will oneshot
Very much isn't
not to mention order calamitas to kill permafrost
It implies that Yharim regrets the entire
Genocide thing
as i've said
he has regrets, yes
unless i misread something or that's old lore
but these regrets don't change the fact he's still deluded himself with the thoughts that he even used to be a hero in the first place, aswell as the fact he not only dosen't regret killing the gods, but actively is still trying to do it
He comments on you killing slime god, encouraging you to do it further. In the evil biome lore items, he shows how his views still are that all gods are sinful beings.
and his entire motivation to fight you
falsely divine
Is because he's aware he cannot possibly beat xeroc, xeroc is miles stronger than him and he's only got a few years left to live
he also refuses to talk about the hallow
So he's actively trying to manipulate you into being his sucessor
yharim regrets that his crusade wasn't as effective as he wanted it to be more than he regrets the consequences of the crusade in the first place
i think god is just what we call them in this context
Yeah exactly this
they are not gods
He seems himself as a hero taht failed his heroic mission
they are the falsely divine
Yharim is a horrble person with very little redeeming factors
I mean yharim is not like ultrabaf
Not as a terrible person who deluded himself with the idea that he was a hero
possibly implying actual higher beings
says who
everyone
says who
...The lore writers
He asks you to treat scal property prob regretting bis actions towards his idk friends?team?
the gods are gods (by calamity's hyper specific unique definition of the word)
because the first person to become a god was the guy that came up with that crap
i think its fair to say gods is accurate
Yes, because that's what a god is in calamity
but im saying thats what we know them as
There is no "god" in calamity as in a all powerful being
for lack of another term
thats what they are in this universe
draedon is a rather objective man
what they are
Gods in calamity are divine, and are actual gods
a god is what they are referred to here
astrum deus
well wait
That’s not a god
it's just a space worm
sorry
I'm trying to remember were, but I vaugely recall in a lore entree where Yharim is talking to the player about the things he's done, he begs the player not to become like him.
he is a god
It’s explicitly called not one iirc
as in worshiped
This is more so reffering to how he became a "failed hero"
and in fact
this universe has a different definition of god then ours
goes further into yharim's motivation
not an all powerfull one
Yharim is trying to make you into his sucessor
he only says that about situations that caused his crusade to slow down
and he's basically saying
"get this shit done, don't become like me and fail at the last step"
once again
such as treating Calamitas poorly (aka making her and permafrost leave)
i tend to imagine Xeroc didn't actually declare themselves the first god, that's something yharim made up/yharon made up and told yharim
or not dealing with Polter (causing the Dragon Cult to cut ties with him)
wait which absorbed zeratros, noxus or xeroc i get them confused a lot
xeroc
xeroc
xeroc
Wow, there's a lot more to this lore that I haven't realized.
Noxus isn’t a god
The entire point of yharim's character is
xeroc declared himself a "god"
Yeah it deep I think
yharim describes deus as a "god without sin" aka a worshipped deity who didnt absorb a soul
He has a ton of conventionally heroic traits and qualities that are usually associated with benevolence and good
thus people called those who absorbed auric souls "gods"
But he's actually a heinous person
its just a name
And in a few months we are getting a lot of new lore with SSO
One of the reasons I want to learn the lore so much is I'm planning to write a DnD campaign that takes place during Yharim's Crusades.
Yo someone else did that
yharim portrays it as Xeroc having a full on anime villain monologue while in actuality xeroc was probably more like
so the base idea of gods can still exist
true
as in something of worship
Whats dnd tho?
dungeons and dragons

i am going to go play hk now
