wanting your character to be evil is totally valid
slime god's paladins are guilty of affecting the purity but not slime god itself
Like this image implies?
i think that's like
i think its like uhhhh
the least interesting route to take the terrarian in most cases
at least in my opinion
but hey you dfo you
self inserting
reminds me of the early undertale fandom
u wanna be edgy and say edgy stuff but not be evil
people were ADAMANT that they werent at fault for the genocide route
Some People still are
except it's the opposite of that
which is dumb
because the whole point is that YOU seek it out
instead of people gaslighting themselves they they aren't evil
it's people gaslighting themselves that they HAVE to be evil
yeah 
even if i just find the evil thing weird
the people i'll never get are
"we're worse than yharim"
is yharim actually a racist against lizahrds or was thatj ust some exagerration i read
ah yes
it is impossible within the confines of the game to be even half as bad as yharim
Calamitytale 
hate them because they're lizards
Yharim is the cause behind like 70% of the bosses that are justified to kill
yharim's like a 40k character
How can we be worse
like even if youmined out the entire continent
at least that only fucks over a single continent
yharim fucked shit up worldwide
itd be pretty evil to spread the astral infection
i mean yeah but not comaprable to
in lore does it spread like the other evil biomes ?
causing a war of revenge that kills hundreds of millions
Yeah iiirc
no, actually, the opposite
it slowly condenses
oh cool
given
Oh what
right right
it will fade away on its own, some day in the far future
off topic but i just wanted to share this
Then why does something like aureus get infected, or does it not count as a object but a living being
Yharim looks like husk ngl
aureus is a robot and ahs no sentience so it gets infected
i mean, even ifnected beigns are condsing
that's literally what Hives and Atlases are
Oh neat
Is there lore reason why astral doesnt spread?
they are amagamations of several infected creatures
i literally jsut explained this 2 minutes ago
^
Mb

i wonder why draedon never tried exploring the abyss
of course im just assuming so since i didnt see any logs about the abyss
If post moonlord gear can handle the pressure well I’m sure his cosmolite super mix of metals can
me returning to my astral infection after 934 years and 21 hours to see that it has condensed itself into a star
truly despicable.
Calamity lore good 👍
"It's as shrimple as that"
That gif murdered cei how could you
👎
Flesh panopticon

yharim prime

draedon primed ultra omega mk6 penultimate
i plan on it beign a draetalk topic in the future
when some abyss stuff changes
:D
need to wait for that to happen
:)
Xeroc prime
there are a few topics i wanna dd but they have to wait for related content to come out
otherwise
oops
ill be spoiling shit
so yeah
also development plans might change
lore diet
Draedon talk expansion 
just wait for sunken sea overhaul
vanilla bestiary shit
cant wait for draedate ❤️
a fuckload of amidias stuff
i want draedon to tell me to go fuck myself
onyx lab log
How much lore will that give ? Dooble?
i can pay gianni right now for him to just say that to you 
not full on dialogue trees like amidias is getting but
how much can you say was rewritten of the vanilla bestiary
and also a new feature related to amidias
stip already posted a list of every changed entry
🎉
Where?
oh neat
here
oh shit, granite and marble lore?
yupyup

TORCH GOD LORE
i ndid support a lot on ideas even if i didn't write any of them directly, just a lil editing
been more focused on other stuff
though tbh i mioght leave the drafting of a lot od amidias dialogue to reb and go work on other things
tbh i'm the least involve writer for Ilmeris stuff
Then we expect sso?
Ilmeris is the civilization that interests me the least, tbh
In this yeat or next?

not exactly my type of thing i enjoy writing about the most
definitely not this year methinks
moreso big on Azafure and Chrysadia
and the lands outside of where the game takes place
i'm interested in what lies outside the continent
like the crystal city. what's that? you wont know for a long time.
Doom
We going to get lore on outside places?
Death

Apocalypse
crystal city makes me think
shimmer lore?
ye, ofc
prob not
world would feel a bit small if all that was talked about was the single continent you were on, no?
fair
I am sure other continents are destroyed mostly
worldbuilding my beloved
Makes me think of these
After yharims shit
oh the place you're in
realistically
which tbh
They are
We just start on ground zero of the crusade
might as well jsut share my personal, not yet decided to be canon and just my person choice for a name for it
just something people refer to as "The Heartlands"
was the center of the crusade
Heart crystal?
I imagine calamity worldbuild more like project moon
Oh no not about the city
and a lot of fuckery
Main city/continent
it's the place in the world in the worst state pretty much
Other continents/outside of city is just wasteland
like, there are still towns, a handful of cities, and maybe a few city-states still around out there
just not where the game takes place
it's just particuarlly fucked
given, not to say the rest of the world is in a super good state
people are in the process of recovering
Why did yharim even stopped?
but it's at least better than whatever the fuck is going on where the game takes place
Quick question
Who even is the Empress of Light in Cal lore?
Most that’s said is she siphons power from the Primordial Light and just chills in the hallow til you kill her lacewings
await SSO

it's kinda the opposite
marisad
She also obeys gods or a god (I believe it to be Xeroc cause who else could give pl)
the place where the game takes place is in the worst condition by far
most people that go there are doing high-risk treasure hunting, looking to challenge themselves, or are just a little insane
like yeah of course the town npcs seem a bit crazy
normal people don't just come here
without very good reason
Guide just kinda exists
I wonder what the lore will be for the princess
crystal city 
entirely unrelated
nothing to do with anything in the game
just a place that is to be mentioned a few times
that has vague realtion to some events
Can we just get a bit of lore about it?
I think we do
the crystal city is just it's title as is probably obvious
it does have an actual name
but im not sure if it's final or not
is jsut notable since i mean
I wonder if we will learn what meld blobs are in SSO
Its made of crystas?
how many crystals do you actually see in-game? outside of the allow, basically zero. they're super rare outside of that ultra-specific environment that basically didnt even exist until the start of the game.
Is it at underground?
so a crystal city is pretty fuckin notable
Will it be a biome?
Guide makes me kinda sad in Cal lore
Man knows about so much of the world, is the chosen sacrifice to even summon the Wall of Flesh, an Azafure construct of deceased gods, and is afaik relegated to just kinda
Existing
there's a city that has a notable university consistntly msotly of its students snd scholars in a faraway desert, too, that i wanna mention somewhere
maybe the dye trader is from there?
it's outside of where the game takes place
Oh um
He has no ties or anything, he’s just chosen as the sacrifice because vanilla summon
Maybe his revamped bestiary entry will explain something but for now it’s just
The man
I don’t think the wof summon method is canon in calamity idk
Nomadic city 🔥

it will
There is a plenty of guides tbh
👍

🚆
i heard one of the lorewriters say that the successors to the chrysadians were like sky pirates
there's also the place where the goblins come from
Tbh
gobland
I’m personally of the belief that in canon there is only one of each npc, but for logical gameplay reasons they just come back and have funny names attached
gobbiecity
I imagine that is the case aswell
hell on earth
yuppers
Yummers
also yeah for SSO
one thign to keep in mind
Pristine Fury might have the most important item description in the game when it comes out


Wha
does it relate to provi
yes
Provi weapon couldnt be not related to provi
it's about the origins of the boss it drops from, as with most former legendary items
I wonder if any ml drop item descriptions will be changed
what rewrites
provi origins???
oh 
besides
Nothing there lobotomy corporation reference
we dont rewrite shit
Except for old lore
Didn’t you rewrite old lore
God this would’ve been so funny if Grand Dad was still ingame
Into new lore
the main exception being SHPC since yeah
it's made
The sheer duality you’d get from seeing Fovos backstory on the funny Vinesauce sword
The what
so it takes a different direction
so aegis blade would relate to lizhahrd civilization?
May i ask a question
Grand dad I assume
It might be dumb but will silva return to normal form at some point since she cannot be killed?
You heard me
Pretty sure grand dad's becoming part of a line though
so yeah gonna go into the origins of providence
Yeah grand guardian to earth
Probably not, seeing as she is kinda stuck in infinite abyssal hell
She did get out one time before
pretty fuckin important
Damn she old
since that directly relates to what was going on at that time period
provi is olden person
Grandma
As old as Merkalto?
no.
Like idk
Nobody is as old as merk
Npc after killing dog
yeah
Would love if the legendary drops explained the motives that some bosses have
Likely yes
she's already done it before
merk is 3 eons old at the minimum
again i must brign up Pristine Fury

Maybe Providence being a raised under a heavily cult like family
nope
Well um will it be durning terraria or after?
Just throwing it out there
Pristine fury looks like a dragon
so gael's greatsword would talk about cal
so does Vesuvius
Dread…
Clearly the pristine fury it's referring to is the dragon of flame's fury
Terraria is the planet?
which yeah is another important one
Can't believe pompeii is canon....
ravager
Always remember Sweden is canon thanks to that one Party Girl dialogue
…until Calamity nukes it or turns the Party Girl into an insane person
She already is kinda wacko in vanilla
since he won't get a massive amount of mentions i might talk about him a lil sine he's not connected to too much
Yayy
thanky
he was one of the first original three auric dragons
I love death dragonn
WHAT
original?
Orignianl?
The first to get auric souls probably
well, original, more like
basically
he was one of the ones who first got an auric soul
The souls we given out in threes?
one of the first three
i assume
death, life and light
nah
I assume
Zeratros
Yharon
Death
incorrect
burt i wont clarify
life is pretty obvious though
Death life and dlife
death life and rebirth?
Life could be the fourth
but yeah the Dragon of Death was one of the first three auric dragons
I like this
im gonna headcanon this for now cause i like how it sounds
Death life and everything in between
but as auric dragons grew in number, and as rebirth became core to the auric dragon's society
he choose to find a new home away from the aerie
he ran off
living in a self-imposed exile
YES
SELF EXILED DOD !!
yharon has always been a monster 
That entails a different motive beyond pseudo immortality as to why they got auric souls
around his new home for away, all life around him died
but from that death, a verdant forest grew around him
was he a pink alligator
No it was a auric dragon
some few who saw the unnatural forest went in to explore it and found him, though most couldnt be around him for long
he lived in solitude, but it was a solitude he accepted
interesting lore drop
Dragon of death had the same effects of the beach that makes you old
the beach that kills you
By making you old
Can't believe my headcanon dragon of death became real
the beach that slowly kills you
im pretty sure its the rocks actually
but yeah that's the basic premise behind the Dragon of Death
obviously he's super fucking old
killing things by existing too hard

So who the fuck was capable of killing the death dragon and not die
Death is a mssive part of the world so yeah it makes sense that he was one of the first three auric dragons
Isn’t like every auric dragon ancient
what if... ravager was already an undead..
yeah
We can kill zombies
That entails it took a long ass time to give out auric souls
a thought:
things just kinda
don't stay dead anymore
fucking everything reanimates all the time
I meant terrarian
ah
Refer to this image
...ah
again
so everything comes back once
sso is gonna be a fucking feast
HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS perished in the Crusade
I meant if silva will idk return to normal form durning terrarians adventure
I thought it was just the ambient brimstone slowly reanimating mostly fine corpses
Likely
Geez can you send more original image
Wait not in the journey
nah
Probably after
I thought the blood moon just pulls all the death out of the ground and makes them angry
and yeah like
I imagine a elemental comes back in the same time as yharon since we have no other time frame
ok so I get that all the undead is just how many people died, but that doesn't explain why there are undead in the first place
And the abyss is making that harder and take longer
The Dragon of Death isn't evil or anything. Death is just... a part of the world.
them coming back once is even weirder than them coming back repeatedly
its like yveltal
Part of its conenction to sacrifice
It’s a function of the world it can’t have morality
Did you come up with a name for him
Somethign seen mostly as negative, but in reality is entirely neutral
like
fair
like the
no.
You can sacrifice a cup of water or something of the sorts don’t need to sacrifice yourself always
stop
the DoG
for an evil dragon, see: The Dragon of Flame

not the gif
my head already hurts today
AHA, CONFIRMATION
Double sided cat, nothing weird
dragon of lame
professional arsonist
got a phd, majored in arson
it would be really funny if the dragon of water was also really evil
you know what i was like 7 i almost drank homemade napalm
Can't believe they added blast to calamity lore
FUCKING what
what.
who's the rayquaza
huh
Vetrasyl?
just out of the blue like that
Does this mean storms would stop them and just want to chill
i mean we were talking about ARSON
zeratros was keeping them in check then got absorbed
and suddenly they became absolute menaces
and had to be killed
might as well bring up that time i and a friend made napalm when we were 7
Based
Zeratros is ultra necrozma obviously
i had a habit od drinking weird shit
i would put frozen pre-cooked shrimp in a glass
let the ice from it melt
stake out the shrimp
huhh
and drink the shrimp water
i mean, i ate weird shit when i was young like small screws and stuff
6 dollar shrimp special
i also put chocolate milk mix in my grape juice
is it really suprising that i almost drank napalm
yea
Why is it “almost”? Did a adult stop you
Napalm + spicy food
on purpose
explosion
nah
Man i remember trying to bite iron
i just reconsidered
i'd be stupid to make napalm with adults around when im 7
i bit and chewed on a sponge when i was like 8
based
I remember i bited a very hot part of oven or smth
I doubt that would have been healthy
That was painful
like obviously i'm not gonna fuckin say how to make it here but it probably says a lot that two 7 year olds could make it on their own
without interet access
which i did not have until i was 12
that's a little surprising
I’m also not going to say what I think it could be
Scuse me, the fuck
if you knew how to make it, not really
children are stupid, but in very creative ways
Children are creative but bad at forseeing consequences I guess
all of which are probably in your house right now
Which?
gman mentioned???
Why would cei say them
?
Nope
prolly shouldnt have said that, now they question it
eh
Idk for hahas
SSO will be a feast of the greatest magnitude
me making napalm when i was 7 is just the tip of the cei iceberg
The three ingredients are cheese, milk and napalm
cheese and milk duplicate the napalm into more napalm
Weird mac n cheese tbh
^

very long nap
unending nap
and then there's cheese
ceiberg...
but yeah my childhood was
yeah
stuff happened during it
like, again
homemade napalm
Planet
Planet what? Mars?
and it had one attraction
finland
.
That's a lot 
Terraria is the planet
a race track with a 4000 person capacity
Btw, Cei, hi 
it was like
That’s less then my high school
That's less than most schools
How rich yharim is
yeah now i live in a place with a whopping like
I had a russian Calamitas in mind, so that's why I asked... I at least think so
That's even bigger!1!!1 
Probably a little bit too personal of a question, but do you live in Brazil?
Oh 
i live in a city of 600k people
Though half of the writers for cal DO live in Brazil
Reb and Stip
Cei is a villager confirmed
My city has about 350 thousands of people
...to be fair, it is the center of the region 
...how many brazilians are in the team?
so anyways yeah it'll be nice since i'm visiting some friends fro a week who live up in iwoa in a place with like
my city is like the third biggest
40k people
Bro visiting his friends
Sis visiting her friends 
Well um mb
Okay, that's kinda off-topic
wtf
calamity has already gone woke
NO FUCKING WAY, an entity with biological gender being FEMALE
Sorry mb
what was the message
Okay, what the actual fuck was that 
Stupid gifs
oh
In eel pit
it was a weird gif
I wanted to send bro visited his friend and clicked first one i fae
this means calamity must be failing
due to the wokeness
statis and braelor
how many is enough
braelor and statis already exist
Who is braelor
Do they love each other or any other male character? 
yes
Male silva?
Her champion
Okay, that's enough for now
Time to make fanfiction 
SSO literally confirms that they shared a room
Pfft
Yes, no
Will this be used as the official concept for Braelor?
you can find one they stayed in while they were there
It is iirc
SSO is not out yet 
Silva and statis
...also, wdym by a room?
i know im just sayin'
Daym
Where is the room?
in the sunken sea
Historians would call them bffs

Wrong reply

there were acquaintances
braelor and statis stayed in ilmeris?
Damn, these guys are gay
Good for them
Explode
i should be canon, we need more robor lovers
What is this called?
die.

perish under the light of the infernum.
You would immediately stink everyone to death
die
Androphile 
Actually, I can't say that stuff, can't I?
😭 _ _
we still going on abt stinky aureus
idk
I would assume it smells weird at the very least
It stinks cause it’s a rotted star
Because, yeah
That's literally a disease or, more accurately, a "rotted" star
Imagine building a base at rotten star
astral infection IS partially based on The Rot from Rain World

Stinky robot
Astral infection is so coll btw
stink bot aureus
I love making base here
Hey the bestiary rewrite seems to be done now
What about Deus
They might be doing more
It stinks but is still alive so not as bad as the star
what if we sold aureus for 2 dollar
Will we get uninfected deus sprite?
and told garbo
2 dollar robot
bought
oh wait
Like how does bro looks
I wonder if we will learn about what Noxus is using god essence for
crap.
Isnt aureus the one supposed to be uninfecte
no
Like a space worm I think
Gotta jack up the prices
No but the guy said is there a uninfected deus sprite
Take all of garbo's belongings for one aureus
fine.
But wasnt deus always astral ?
Deus ate star and got infected
all of garbo's possesions for 1 fargo dollar
no?
Deus then loses to us in the fight and gets uninfected
Die
And lives
Eend him to eel pit
^
So we kinda saved him in a way
Yes
gonna sleep now
Gn
bye lore discussion
played by jack black
Whoa oh oh story of calamity
...so, uh. Will this be unneeded in the future?
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3113260185
Calamity may do it themselves and not need that addon
Imagine yharim just explodes
Good ending
If you permakill Yharon will Yharim lose the attunement?
yharim is also jack black but with a cool helmet
Yea cause then there’s no soul to sync to
Peak yharim fight
Nah, yharim is the rock
Rush to consume the auric soul
In the Yharim secret vault
And he gets springlocked
I wonder how much of polter is in that exhumed cal weapon
Helo goose
How so
apparently i was awake for 90 more minutes than i remember, based on my youtube watch history
but i vividly remember turning off my laptop without watching any of those videos
Maybe you were very sleepy and subconsciously started watching
Auric springlock
The bestiary thing is done now apparently
Its like electric chair
You missed cei talking about death dragon and crystal city and stuff
Alrighty
@hoary berry
We got the lore drop that the death dragon has an aura like the beach that makes you old
But instead it just fucking kills you

how did the soon to be god of sacrifices not die then?
i've changed my mind forwarding is an awesome feature
I mean ehy would yharim be so powerful then
Death dragon was one of the first three to get an auric soul
And it self exiled once rebirth came quite important in their society
So death dragon has kill aura?
And fire dragon now 100% evil confirmed
Ban him
Age aura that ages you into dead
Goofy
So the beach that makes you old
But you die
Yes
Wait can someone send a message link to where it began
So unique
That was a sarcasm but whatever
What?
I was helping this guy
Huh the important stuff must be far away lol
Bit lower, I sent when cei first appears
that was certainly
a conversation
to red through
tons of lore drops, clarifications, then suddenly we get elaboration on the cei napalm lore
braelor and statis sharing a room in ilmeris
honestly got me thinking what the architecture in ilmeris was like
Can't have a straight couple in this world, smh
: (
I never thought about Braelor and Statis being roommates of all things
I mean braelon wears silva armor that should make sence
Braelor is Silva's warrior or smth, iirc
He isn't necessarily a partner 
Not in her current form
She will get to base form at some point
Silva also likely doesn’t care for that shit
I guess Braelor is into twinks, and Statis is one, judging by the concept art
she’s an elemental turned goddess
Wait, she was an elemental?
yeah no
Is there any male elemental?
what the dryads are to her though is unknown

I honestly don’t think elementals have a gender but based on how they look
no
The concept of gender doesn’t particularly matter to them regardless
If you count it
No 

Hear me out: of all the elements/auric domains, life is the one that's most likely to want to fuck
Tbh eould make sence for draedon to make exo scal
Elemental is a male-gendered word in Russian, so they're all male (technically)
Life is a lot more than that…
But still I doubt Silva cares or would ever want to
I am hearing u out
Of course, but it's the entire process by which life spreads
yeah well
Wrong!
Silva wants to plant and stuff 
Too bad
She’s already essentially beaten all the other elementals if you think about it tho
Tho
life is literally everywhere
How silva looked as base elemental?
probably closer to the other ones
I rembered how someone important in our country said that women are "mycelium"
...welp, Silva is very mycelium-like, technically speaking
????
While silva looks like human
Slime god is well big blob
Ravager he is reanimated so cant say how he looked before
can’t say the reason iirc so
but also the souls of the god and the dragon had mixed
so they’re twisted
like their bodies

Why is wall stealing
Is there a way
to use elementals
soul
and do the same ritual thats used to become a god
They don't have auric souls
Can dragon consume dragon soul
I mean auric
What kf random slime consumes auric soul
historians would call them roommates yes
Are you an auric dragon because you have auric soul or do you have an auric soul because youre an auric dragon

?
I am sure you can just touch soul
I think he meant like just consuming it like a food
Crunch
okay but it doesnt mention any ritual
Fr
you know weve asked so many things in calamity that we can eat, so why not an auric soul
according to od's bestiary, you should be gifted with an auric soul to become an auric dragon
otherwise you are a non-auric regular dragon, like od
slime god was a human before consuming the auric soul
If non auric dragon consumes auric dragon soul
Human isnt slime
a human from the onyx kingsman
Yea ik
that makes the relationship between statis and slime god
I am just sayin its not slime at first place
if even a slime can do that, I think they won't have to wait until xeroc to begin killing dragons...
Goozma isnt canon however
Also, old duke is a draconic offshoot
in hoog, goozma and the slime god are just slime, not human god, iirc?
Idk what goozma is in the hunt of the old god so of lore
I was kidding about goozma
it's many small souls fusing together to become a powerful soul
Is it god now
No?
Because he knew the ritual
xeroc created the ritual
there still could've been input from another entity, or something they drew inspiration from
Xeroc a smart fella
but ultimately it's xeroc who made it
Thats just other ppl saw
Goozma however, he's a fart smella

They become a god if they did, however you dont know the ritual
in cal the player just don't do that, maybe because you don't know the ritual
