Creatura

#

Next time Silva doro

wheat walrus
#

yes silva is a semi-living corpse in the abyss, her essence allowed life to flourish in the abyss as she slowly regenerates

spring helm
#

Wait I don’t want to draw that actually nvm

latent bolt
#

ears...

spring helm
#

Girl why you so ears

wheat walrus
#

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

split mortar
#

She is nigh immortal due to being a elemental and their domain being life

hardy flower
#

will she regen

split mortar
#

Yea

spring helm
#

Silva can’t die because she’s an elemental but Yharim basically blender’d her physical body

wheat walrus

#

what would silva think about discussions about her ears

hardy flower
#

when can i fight her then

untold oracle
#

I’m gonna hug

She is a corpse

You won’t fight her

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

I wrote it as a joke but also used it for worldbuilding

Also gives Yharim more powers than

This one came from the fact that life shouldn’t really be an element, since it requires the existence of so many others

Hello mokkuuu

split mortar
#

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

untold oracle
#

I guess their soul is in all of the corresponding element

#

Hence why you gotta wipe out the entire domain to kill an elemental

split mortar
#

Would this entail that elementals could be related to the world soul

spring helm
#

Polterghast the elemental hard counter?

untold oracle
#

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

trim edge
#

does silva have human skin or is that supposed to be wood

split mortar
#

Just like how anahita is water but looks fish she prob is entirely plant but looks and prob feels like human skin

untold oracle
#

I think it’s regular skin, the wood is in the armor, why you asking

split mortar
#

Could be curiosity

split mortar
trim edge
#

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

# hoary berry show?

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.

Reads very same for such a long piece of text

Maybe there is some difference between elementals that we are unaware of

# untold oracle > Getting back to the surface, Léa wasn’t able to see properly due to nighttime ...

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

pliant ruin

so i assume desert scoog might also be outdated yeah

#

like the only changes i think i'd make would be

untold oracle
#

Yeah I got quite a lot to rewrite lol

hoary berry

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

it is sort of replacing tbh

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.

Glad you're enjoying the story :D

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

What if Yharim IS Draedon............

dusk laurel
#

yeag, yharim hates him

#

but yet he still came back for exotech

mighty zenith
viral juniper
cloud ibex
#

after the pbg incident, the only reason he even talked to draedon again is because he got jumped and he wanted better armor

dry igloo
#

Dreadon messed with the bees, so he got put in Yharim's book of grudges, right next to the traitor almighty.

pliant ruin
#

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

potent moth
#

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

pliant ruin
#

"Yeah ok do your thing but don't get anywhere near me"

mighty zenith
#

I think he's too petty

pliant ruin
#

Fair point

mighty zenith
#

he tells himself he hates draedon and that he's a monster

dusk laurel
#

not his actual body

mighty zenith
#

despite not actually really hating him

dry igloo
#

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.

pliant ruin
#

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

dusk laurel
#

probably just gag

#

idk if draedon actually cares more for a chair

Draedon gamer chair vs auric toilet

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?

potent moth
#

is when you kill scal or exo mechs

frank dune

Killing dragons is dumb

Yharon reincarnates whenever he dies

scal doesn't die

she becomes an npc

What i mean is that you can put dragonfolly into generator for infinite energy

dusk laurel

flame dragon:

dry igloo
# potent moth You get the cynosure lore

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.

most dragons were weaker

i didnt know he was just comparing tbh

their strength varied yeah

dusk laurel
#

yharon is one of the strongest ones

pliant ruin

...Actually literally just zeratros to be honest

mighty zenith
#

i doubt the fatass dragon of gluttony was as strong as, say, the dragon of death

pliant ruin
#

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

we know that like

yharim will always have a higher kill count

so for her to die everything must die

Yharim has hundreds of millions of people dead due to him

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

the same way it works in every game ever

like even stuff thats sort of alive like plants

split mortar
#

Yes

like by that same logic

frank dune

Its self defense

dusk laurel

no?

Probably even other elementals, and brimm needs all heat gone for her to die

How messed up would the lore be if anahita fought with a primordial wyrm

frank dune
#

Tbh

pliant ruin
#

Anahita would sort of like

#

die instantly

#

or well

#

"die"

frank dune
#

If silvas remains are i abyss

split mortar
pliant ruin
#

die as much as elemental can die anyways

split mortar
#

Like wyrm is above scal and anahita is below golem

cloud ibex
mighty zenith
#

ok true

frank dune
#

Does it mean yharim brutally slaughtered her and her insides out and all that moss is her remains and gors?

potent moth
dry igloo
split mortar
dusk laurel
#

her corpse will be added eventually

#

iirc

potent moth
#

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

hunt for the new lore™️

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.

dusk laurel

old

#

scrapped

split mortar

I think that’s old official art

#

Still cool though

I know this might be like a big question but who actually IS xeroc

And arms

Cuz hes mentioned everywhere but idk who he actually is

Dragon monk-ey

pliant ruin

Unintentionally kickstarted the hunt for auric souls

split mortar
#

And maybe (MAYBE) hunting noxus in distortion so it doesn’t threaten terraria

pliant ruin

since people saw him ascend and were like

dusk laurel
pliant ruin
#

"ay i wanna do that too"

potent moth
#

so xeroc is basically the big guy in charge of like everything

dry igloo
frank dune
pliant ruin
#

He's not quite in charge of anything or anyone

dusk laurel
#

xeroc dipped

potent moth
#

are we ever gonna fight xeroc or is the final boss still reserved for yharim

pliant ruin
#

They're just sort of doing their own thing

#

Yharim is gonna be the final bos still yes

pliant ruin
#

Xeroc

split mortar
pliant ruin
#

might

mighty zenith
#

yharim is the final boss of the main plot

pliant ruin

come as a post-yharim superboss

mighty zenith

xeroc would be additional content

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".

split mortar
pliant ruin
#

Not exactly

potent moth

#

He went to genocide immediately

pliant ruin

Wait let me explain rq

I made it

yeag

mighty zenith

n o one else

cloud ibex
#

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

frank dune
#

I made it wtf

#

I was first ine to joke about that

mighty zenith
#

you either die a villain or live long enough a villain

dry igloo
#

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.

cloud ibex
#

he says DoG's recruitment is when he started going downhill

pliant ruin
#

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

high lynx
#

yes but he was always the worst

dusk laurel
#

you read it wrong

#

yhapaganda

spring helm
#

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

cloud ibex
#

he could just be lying though

potent moth
#

guys do we know whos mass producing wulfrum robots

high lynx
#

i mean he was always a mass murdered

pliant ruin
#

The devourer is specifically characterizerd

#

as being terrible at lying

split mortar
#

John wulfrum (we don’t know)

pliant ruin
#

now think to yourself

high lynx
#

he just realized he was a mass murderer a little later than most people would

frank dune
pliant ruin
#

how would someone who's literally known to be terrible at lying possibly manipulate Yharim, who's a expert tactician and manipulator?

potent moth
pliant ruin
#

That's the thing, the devourer most definitely didn't manipulate Yharim to begin with

spring helm
#

John Wulfrum

dusk laurel
#

a scourge even

pliant ruin
#

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

pliant ruin
#

Do remember his goal was to kill all gods from the start

frank dune
#

Lmao

mighty zenith
#

It's easier to blame the giant asswipe alien

split mortar
mighty zenith
#

so thats what he does

pliant ruin
#

It never was "I'll kill the evil gods" and then throughout the years he went "I'll kill all gods"

dusk laurel
#

it was too convenient for yharim

frank dune
#

He is feeding on gody essence

dusk laurel
#

DoG was literally right there

potent moth
frank dune
#

Not on humans

mighty zenith
#

he started with evil gods to build his reputation

dusk laurel
dusk laurel
#

it gets transported away

dry igloo
high lynx
#

have the exo mechs killed gods?

mighty zenith
#

technically, you can beat gods after the wall of flesh

potent moth
mighty zenith
#

since you kill slime god right after

high lynx
#

draedon has no reason to kill gods

frank dune
dusk laurel
potent moth
spring helm
#

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.”

high lynx
#

yeah but so does scal

frank dune
pliant ruin
#

The thing is

#

Gods are almost entirely independent from eachother

high lynx
#

i dont think you can absorb god power

mighty zenith
#

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

pliant ruin
#

Some are, indeed, evil, and deserve to be killed, yes

high lynx
#

too unstable

pliant ruin
#

(Providence, per example)

#

but there were also fully benevolent gods

potent moth
frank dune
high lynx
#

ravager was a god right?

mighty zenith
#

correct

dusk laurel
#

otonilou, tyrian and others

potent moth
pliant ruin
#

yharim did not care, he deemed all of them was evil on the single thread that they absorbed an auric soul

frank dune
#

With rocks

high lynx
#

they brought back a god

#

i believe

pliant ruin
#

You could literally be a saint, someone who saved millions, who was kind to everyone, and yharim would still kill you

dry igloo
#

Wouldn't you still have to murder a Auric Dragon to become a God, and said dragons were the protectors of Terraria.

spring helm
#

Me when I paint my enemies as ontologically evil (all atrocities are justified and acceptable now, even to those only indirectly related to them):

pliant ruin
#

Heck, he wouldn't just kill you

mighty zenith
#

you can argue killing a dragon made them all morally grey

pliant ruin
mighty zenith
#

but then what if the dragon was terrorizing people and was a menace?

#

does that make slaying them a sin?

high lynx
#

but you dont have to be the one that kills the dragon

potent moth
#

Wait so if you kill an auric dragon you’re a god

dusk laurel
#

what if the dragon

dry igloo
dusk laurel
#

was already dying

high lynx
#

as seen by the profane meatballs

mighty zenith
#

you need to absorb its soul through a ritual

frank dune
#

Yummy

#

How soul taste lik

dusk laurel
#

☹️

sudden ruin
#

and nobody knows how to do that pretty much

potent moth
frank dune
#

Somewhat unusual id say

mighty zenith
#

☹️

pliant ruin
#

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

potent moth
spring helm
mighty zenith
#

you dont have the full soul
and regardless, you dont know the ritual

high lynx
#

not attuned and we dont know how or why we cant absorb yharon

frank dune
pliant ruin
#

Yharim is, no matter which you way to look at it, a terrible person

mighty zenith
pliant ruin
#

Yharim did, in fact, kill benevolent gods

frank dune
pliant ruin
#

Notably

#

Otonilou, the goddess of electricity, was one of them

#

She was said to be more or less a saint

dusk laurel
pliant ruin
#

And how did Yharim respond?

high lynx
#

i personally think it's not because we dont know the ritual, but that yharon's soul works differently to other dragons

dusk laurel
#

it's just fragments

spring helm
#

Jeanne d’Arc if she was a jellyfish lady

high lynx
#

if we really wanted to become a god we could ask somebody

mighty zenith
#

who are you gonna ask

pliant ruin
#

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

high lynx
#

xeroc

dusk laurel
#

who would tell you

high lynx
#

xeroc

dusk laurel
#

he is NOT telling you

spring helm
high lynx
#

oh haha counterpoint

#

BOSS RUSH

dusk laurel
#

.

#

he is likely referring to killing noxus

#

not you becoming a god

cloud ibex
#

xeroc doesn't really have a reason to tell you

mighty zenith
#

none of them do

dusk laurel
#

blind user:

high lynx
#

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

cloud ibex
#

for all we know they might feel terrible for killing Zeratros, let alone causing the near extinction of all auric dragons

frank dune
#

Why so much hate towards me

#

I am just being silly : (

high lynx
#

he does say yharon was once hs friend

split mortar
#

Your vore talk about bosses

pliant ruin
#

dosen't

#

feel regret or guilt

#

for indirectly causing every remaining dragon to fucking die

high lynx
#

so maybe nobody would teach you the ritual

pliant ruin
#

even if unintentionally

split mortar
mighty zenith
#

just calling yharon an old friend suggests they wouldnt do that

cloud ibex
#

plus they consider Yharon to be an old friend iunno if they'd want you to permanently kill him

mighty zenith
#

again, the circumstances of their ascension are way too vague rn

high lynx
#

the only people i can think of either hate gods or are evil

#

maybe silva or some other "living" god but idk

frank dune
#

Tbh i am sure most of gods are good

mighty zenith
#

highly doubt silva could tell you
anything

pliant ruin
#

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)

pliant ruin
#

30 years maybe

frank dune
#

Silva turned ecological dead zone into abyss

#

Then dragons did not

dusk laurel
#

abyss

mighty zenith
#

provi and slime god - they are literally trying to murder you

dusk laurel
#

already had life

pliant ruin
#

and they're dead

split mortar
#

Abyss already had life, she made it flourish

dusk laurel
#

before silva was dropped in there

high lynx
#

silva is just a battery

dusk laurel
#

silva was a booster rocket

frank dune
pliant ruin
#

Abyss life probably consisted of shitty crabs and fish before silva came in

high lynx
#

a battery that will eventually become a solar powered ecosystem spanning the continent

pliant ruin
#

Like a mf reaper shark was NOT gonna live in there without silvas influence

dry igloo
#

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?

#

Idk

pliant ruin
#

See, yharim is very much depressed, yes

frank dune
pliant ruin
high lynx
pliant ruin
#

It implies that Yharim regrets the entire

#

Genocide thing

#

as i've said

#

he has regrets, yes

high lynx
pliant ruin
#

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

high lynx
#

falsely divine

pliant ruin
#

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

mighty zenith
#

he also refuses to talk about the hallow

pliant ruin
#

So he's actively trying to manipulate you into being his sucessor

cloud ibex
#

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

high lynx
#

i think god is just what we call them in this context

high lynx
#

they are not gods

pliant ruin
#

He seems himself as a hero taht failed his heroic mission

high lynx
#

they are the falsely divine

split mortar
#

Yharim is a horrble person with very little redeeming factors

dusk laurel
#

whar?

#

the gods are gods

frank dune
#

I mean yharim is not like ultrabaf

pliant ruin
#

Not as a terrible person who deluded himself with the idea that he was a hero

high lynx
#

possibly implying actual higher beings

high lynx
pliant ruin
#

"Falsely Divine" is just yharim being a bitch

#

they are gods

mighty zenith
high lynx
#

says who

pliant ruin
#

...The lore writers

frank dune
#

He asks you to treat scal property prob regretting bis actions towards his idk friends?team?

cloud ibex
#

the gods are gods (by calamity's hyper specific unique definition of the word)

mighty zenith
#

DRAEDON calls them gods

#

so like

high lynx
#

because the first person to become a god was the guy that came up with that crap

mighty zenith
#

i think its fair to say gods is accurate

pliant ruin
#

Yes, because that's what a god is in calamity

high lynx
#

but im saying thats what we know them as

pliant ruin
#

There is no "god" in calamity as in a all powerful being

high lynx
#

for lack of another term

mighty zenith
#

thats what they are in this universe

pliant ruin
#

^

#

That's just

rotund shore
#

draedon is a rather objective man

pliant ruin
#

what they are

split mortar
#

Gods in calamity are divine, and are actual gods

mighty zenith

a god is what they are referred to here

pliant ruin
#

Astrum deus

#

isn't

an all powerful being

high lynx
#

well wait

split mortar
pliant ruin
#

it's just a space worm

high lynx
#

sorry

dry igloo
#

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.

high lynx
#

he is a god

split mortar
#

It’s explicitly called not one iirc

high lynx
#

as in worshiped

pliant ruin
#

and in fact

rotund shore
#

this universe has a different definition of god then ours

pliant ruin
#

goes further into yharim's motivation

high lynx
#

not an all powerfull one

pliant ruin
#

Yharim is trying to make you into his sucessor

mighty zenith
pliant ruin
#

and he's basically saying

#

"get this shit done, don't become like me and fail at the last step"

#

once again

mighty zenith
#

such as treating Calamitas poorly (aka making her and permafrost leave)

pliant ruin
#

he's pretty like, fucked up

#

delusional in the most literal sense of the word

cloud ibex
mighty zenith
high lynx
#

wait which absorbed zeratros, noxus or xeroc i get them confused a lot

pliant ruin
#

xeroc

dusk laurel
#

xeroc

mighty zenith
#

xeroc

dry igloo
#

Wow, there's a lot more to this lore that I haven't realized.

split mortar
#

Noxus isn’t a god

pliant ruin
#

The entire point of yharim's character is

high lynx
#

xeroc declared himself a "god"

split mortar
rotund shore
#

yharim describes deus as a "god without sin" aka a worshipped deity who didnt absorb a soul

pliant ruin
#

He has a ton of conventionally heroic traits and qualities that are usually associated with benevolence and good

high lynx
#

thus people called those who absorbed auric souls "gods"

pliant ruin
#

But he's actually a heinous person

high lynx
#

its just a name

split mortar
#

And in a few months we are getting a lot of new lore with SSO

dry igloo
#

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.

split mortar
#

Yo someone else did that

cloud ibex
#

yharim portrays it as Xeroc having a full on anime villain monologue while in actuality xeroc was probably more like

high lynx
#

so the base idea of gods can still exist

high lynx
#

as in something of worship

frank dune
#

Whats dnd tho?
