Same (but replace autistic with ADHD)
Need to come up with an evil god for Yharim to kill during the early days of the crusade
well let's think what the crimson could have been
blood god of some sort
for corruption idk
god of pestilence or some shit
God of diseases or something
Blood god, ravager’s evil brother
Speaking of gods, I finally have an idea for this
Something like a god of the forge
Seisai's main thing is pearls and you can make jewelry out of them
They'd also be quite tech-y considering Japan irl
I mean
crimson and corruption are multiple gods
so while god fo blood and god of pestilence could fit
keep in mind it wasnt just one guy
it was like
hundreds
probably
doubt it was hundreds
I think there was a dev statement about it but might be a mandela effect
either way it still was like a good few
God of thorns
I think like maybe a few dozen at max
God of Thorns was killed and split in two, which is why thorns appear in both the Crimson and Corruption.
Good idea
Thorns?
Thorns of Agony from Hollow Knight.
that was one of my favourite charms in my first playthrough
DoG is just sorta doing his thing
He was allied with yharim
but then yharim left and he probably just went "k lol" and kept doing his thing anyways
Was reading through the changelogs and stumbled upon an auric land mine
would it be hilarious if Yharim has boobytrapped the aerie with them
that would be yharimous
It’s just a landmine stuffed with auric
ok actually something I wonder about
If auric can reject through armor
What if the auric was under a different type of plate
it can i think
would it still be able to reject?
Like a plate of idk
literally anything else
and then the auric under it
it does
So
But also canonically cannot reject u through tools
And probably weapons
Whcih is weird to me but oh shell
cause I had goofy idea
this gave me an idea but it unfortunately fell apart almost instantly
Maybe
like actual electricity except much much more potent obv
I still think
Or headcanon
how braelor other than raw strength evened out the fight more
Armor weakened the rejection substantially
Brother got armor made out of some type of wood
magical wood
True, actually...
probably somethjng similarly made to his axe
Braelor uses wooden armour and a wooden axe...
Uelibloom is just dead wood, and that is the only pickaxe that can mine Auric...
So real
i know u do
(also means I can actually think of them punching each other)
anyway this is actually a solid theory
braelor punching yharim would go hard
Ngl I had a funny idea
and it also means wood armor should negate yharim's auric knockback
which would be extremely funny
Braelor just absolutely fuckijg shoulder checks yharim
(I still think Yharim would’ve been faster and more agile)
(Just Braelor outdid him in raw strength, but essentially nothing else)
Like I still think if the fight continued as just braelor and Yharim
Braelor would’ve lost
i believe that yharim heavily relied on auric rejection in terms of defense before the fight with braelor
Yeah
which is why he was so fucked when that was just
negated entirely
yeah but that first moment couldve cost him his life
Well considering they fought to a standstill, I think Yharim had figured it out
so he managed to last long enough that DoG saved him but didnt want to risk it any more and got draedon to improve his armor
since clearly rejection wasnt enough to plow through everything
Statis jumping in is what would’ve sealed his fate
like I think Braelor could’ve theoretically won alone but Yharim would majority of the time
over a centuries worth of combat and training
warfare and tactics
the power of gay twinks
Braelor is likely not nearly on that level of skill
Tbh i really like that the Terrarian final robes( demoshade) and Callies robes are a color swap
distortion more like
gay baby jail
No limbs?
What?
majority of the time at least
Statis lost his limbs
He only lost 2
Still
I kinda imagine Yharim went in overconfident as fuck
But he did lose limbs
They are in Signus’ collection now
Signus, Limb Collector
seems like a Yharim thing to do
Stasises quest is to retreve them from Signus
Then draedon unintentionally tells the truth and ruins everything for him
Well he never said that
He was gonna win
what if you could eat his limbs when you get them back
He admitted he was about to die
Yea why?
idk im hungry
garbo has been infected
I still think this fight gave Yharim a deep respect for braelor
Then eat (not limbs)
Oh yeah true
What?
Which is tied to a different lie
I don’t think he actually lied about his fight with Braelor and Statis
i very much doubt he'd admit to DoG saving his ass
ohh
he already hates DoG so lying about that wouldnt make much sense
Yea
I love how he was talking about Signus
thn just goes on about that fight
Bro wanted to tell that story so badly
like nothing even provoked him to do so
tbf he's an old fart
old men love nothing more than telling stories
especially since, in a weird way we're kind of his successor
or at least he sees us as one
thats what the whispers are 
So true
he's reading us pages of his new book
my grandfather stopping to have a thirty minute conversation with everyone he encounters on the street:
You kill an eye and Yharim goes on this rant about how gods were evil and the source of all bad in the world.
rent free tbh
made a random weapon
turns into a whip every third swing
that’d be a cool true melee sword tbh
Orios
Goes from sword to what farmers use for crops…
I see that feather… post-Yharon?
it's made of auric
I’m ngl, I never rly got the idea of a scythe being a weapon used seriously
I mean obviously in history ppl have used them
warscythes are a thing yeah
Looks cool and nothing else
just kinda looks cool
how many things can be Made from auric
Warscythes look more like naginatas than farming scythes
theybare
but they're also basically just spears with one sharp edge instead of multiple
Yeah
But they look really cool
Also Yharcleaver ahh
Has that image of the user reaping lives like they were wheat
yes that is why the grim REAPER uses a scythe
🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Guys what colours would Chrysadia’s flag/emblem/standard have?
kinda want to make a post-exos gun based off of either a pulsar or fusion reactor
-# it was Chrysadia right?
and the grim reaper is a really big inspiration for scythes as they typically are depicted as weapons
Reminds me of Renji's Shikai.
grim reaper having a scythe does make sense
I mean... just look at its name
that or kronos
kronos chronos cronos who the fuck knows
Yea
actually kronos used a sickle, basically just a scythe but smaller and 1 handed
One of this is the titan of harvest, the other the titan of time
yeah
I think they got
(those are the same titan)
kinda fused into one
sickles seem much more convenient
Overtime
They got merged because the names sounded similar I think
Imo they’re much cooler
when well done
(death from puss n boots for example)
ok well according to wikipedia hes depicted using either a scythe sickle or harpe
But yeah I don’t really like scythes as weapons
Especially cause making fights with them seems hard
they can go hard
alter ilulu from another eden <3
Like titanium
I imagine Auric is just similar to Titanium
Light, extremely strong, snaps instead of bending
Pretty sure we do know it snaps instead of bends
or mazrika her scythe goes hard as fuck
that’s kinda why I imagine Yharims weapon has like
a thin amount of auric
for the blade part
and the rest is a different material
more flexible
that scythe is fucking awesome yeah
Imagine picking up a piece of ice and thinking "Wow, I should smash this into the ground". You throw it to the ground. The ground breaks. The ice is perfectly fine.
Pickaxe
LOL
Or you try to break the ice using a pickaxe made of the legendary metal, mythril
And your pickaxe shatters
But then again
Idk who would’ve made it
actually the same question about Yharim’s armor
would apply for his weapons if auric
who tf made them
Make it like shatter in a really comical way that the metal gets perfectly pulverized and the handle remains completely fine
draedon i think
Secret :3
The ”secret :3”
i thought he had done that too
And Cei said Yharim wasn’t a smith
¯_(ツ)_/¯
And Yharon literally doesn’t have hands capable of that stuff
I headcanon dragons had their own champions that wore auric armour and Yharim happened to find one of the sets
We were told one day "ever wonder why there isn't any Auric before Yharon's death?".
(I still personally think Yharim’s armor is an amalgamation of pieces of armor from dragon monks that were attuned to dragons)
Like Yharim would be Yharon’s champion
imagine if auric could reject you through tools
The gods hid it all
You best have a ranged weapon cuz no melee going to work against him
Tmelee in fucking shambles
I assume auric is somehow created after a dragon’s death
some rando in a room controlling a drill and he comes across a speck of auric
gets rejected through the controls
Wasn’t auric forbidden to work with or something
or auric ore is tied to the essence of dragons
That too
auric is stored in the bones
Some gods deemed Auric heretical, probably due to its ties to the Dragons.
Maybe auric forms the same way evil biomes come from gods?
Maybe
Auric is the power of the dragon going into the world while their soul goes to the aerie idk
The fact anyone knew Yharon’s domain is rebirth
likely suggest Dragons did die
before the fovos invasion
So after a dragon dies, its essence fades away and turns metald around it into auric
i have a headcanon for the formation of auric
Here I was thinking essence and souls were the same
Maybe because it seems like dragons drop fragments of their souls when they die, so if they die too much, the soul just shrinks into nothingness
Auric.
Its power is nigh-unimaginable to the masses—to the insects crawling between the cracks of the rocks beside which draconic energy nests itself and to the intelligent lifeforms drilling through the underground and stalking the haunted surface. This power, however, is from a source most tragic: the death of a Dragon.
Although temporary, such a grand being meeting its demise is a world-shaking event; mountains creak and oceans churn as the radiant essence scatters and sweeps across the globe. It is only when this essence converges and its owner reforms atop the Dragon Aerie that these symptoms may subside—but not all traces recede so quickly.
Auric ore: it governs the caverns as the ultimate material known to the illuminated world. Seeking to explore all corners of the globe before rebirth, some Auric Souls might venture into the depths of the planet, weaving between rock and unwittingly blessing it with hints of the illustrious power of the Dragons—thus transforming mundane matter into the extraordinary.
With this, the rock gains a form of life: a weak, flickering sentience with which it can judge the life forms that might dare to reach for its brilliant power. Hold the vaunted strength of the Dragons and you may reclaim the traces these wandering souls lost; be of a common constitution and crumble before a force you cannot comprehend.
half of it is reused from my previous auric headcanon
i'm not at all satisfied with how i wrote this but i do like the general idea
It’s a good idea
Yeah
i think i'll probably rewrite that and my cosmilite headcanon too
though i already have a lot queued to be written so who knows when i'll get around to that
Just like the devs fr fr
imagine if auric just kinda exists, instead of generating after yharon it's just always there
Cei specifically mentioned that is not the case unless the lore states otherwise.
Mmmm tasty canon divergence
anyone who can keep up with DoG
or just get onto him
From following him through his portals
SW did
I'll make the vanilla hardmode ores always existent in the world tbh
He slipped through lol
The fact that the person following DoG wouldn't be able to make their own portals.
Hallowed Ore though
So they'd just be stuck.
So just... Be on DoG forever? Without him noticing?
if you literally just hold on he can’t do much
Ig it would always exist like all the other Hardmode ores
to get rid of you
Imagine if DoG could breath in space.
I don’t imagine he needs to breath tbh
Well, in that case, if something does get on DoG, then he could just
Go into space.
well I do imagine however
that the temperature would greatly affect him
specifically if he wears his armor
but mostly it’s just like
the idea of him trapping someone in the distortion
that’s on par with him
I mean if they can’t fly they’re probably cooked
ok I have something to ask y’all
do you think DoG would be egotistical enough to let someone get ready to fight him
if baited jnto it
Kinda like
Idk TFS Vegeta
the whole
“I know you’re playing me… but you’re right”
Yes
depends how much he knows about the person imo
if it were the terrarian, seeing as he probably knew little to nothing about us, i think he honestly might
but if it were someone equally strong but with a reputation that he knows more about, i don't think he would let his ego get in the way of him that much
might still look down upon them and not go all out from the start, but i don't think he'd just
let them prepare
Well I mostly just mean for GoJ
I would imagine he’d let someone he views far weaker
to do something
Mark does the opposite and says “I’ll let you put your armour on first” and that pisses off DoG so much it tosses Mark into the Distortion
Yeah that seems right for someone close to him in power
Now that I think about it, is DoG aware of what Moon Lord is?
Cosmic Worm is craftable Post-Moon Lord. Cosmic Worm's lore tooltip is "The Nameless Serpent has set out for you". This implies that ever since Post-Moon Lord, DoG has been watching the player.
That could just mean that DoG witnessed the Terrarian battle an exceptionally powerful being though
Does DoG know what Moon Lord is? What it did to the dragons 800 years ago?
maybe
I still have my theory that
DoG was made for the gods
posted it a while back
like I think over a year ago
Idk it was old
Let’s see it
custom built vacuum cleaner
No.
helps my theory :3
It only costs signullions.
Damn that’s cheap
True
I think that’s why Yharim was so brutal
He wanted all the limbs so he can afford the new vacuum cleaner
Then after ppl began questioning he began pretending he regrets the purchase
Just grow entire people then
who are they decide the authenticity or worth of limbs? just because these ones are lab-grown, it shouldn't detract from their physical value!
”Nuh uh”
Just like diamonds, lab grown limbs are better; Big Limb makes propaganda to control the market
okay does anyone here have ideas for the ark half of the AotC line?
Signus has stated that what matters is the story within the limbs; the people that held them and how they resorted in accepting the deal, so lab-grown slop limbs would be shunned in their eyes
i was talking to popcorn about it but i'm still starved for ideas
But where do they get the resources? Magic
Which half
Hello everyone
Hai
A new one
The parrying works because the blade can excellently absorb and amplify the energy from the clash, turning it to magic that can be channeled at command
That’s what I think how it works
that's similar to one of the options i had in mind yeah
that the blade syphons power from what it parries and uses it to empower itself temporarily
Yea
this is pretty baseless, but i want to experiment with the idea of it having a consciousness
of sorts
a weak, primitive one
Shock absorption
but still present
Maybe it has a sense of justice?
Considering if it’s some hero’s blade iirc
Oh yeah it destroys evil
It accepts the Terrarian as its new master and with it gains more power
Actually ”lends” would work better
it just occurred to me because of ark of the ancients' tooltip
i got to thinking about how it might have broken and become the fractured ark, and i like the idea that it tried abosrbing a power that is beyond it during fovos' invasion
which led to it breaking, but also its absorption to malfunction and take in the surrounding energy, including the soul of its dead, previous wielder
again, this is baseless and nothing at all hints at it
but i like the idea
and i'm writing this for fun, not because i'm trying to genuinely theorise about what its full origins are canonically, so i'm fine with adding in entirely new stuff if i really like it
My idea was the user overloaded the blade to destroy something really strong
OH
i jusr ememebred something that slipped my mind
when we were talking in eggcord
What’s eggcord 😭
I’d like to think that there were a lot of like really strong people like Xeroc pre-ascencion. But that all died during Fovos attack
This.
Only to fail in the end
I cant write exactly
the "previous wielder" would have been a dragon monk, like xeroc
perhaps they were attuned to the dragon of justice, or some similar dragon, which is why they so ardently wished to fight "evil"
I think they had auric armour too
And that’s how Yharim got the armour he has
and they played a leading role in taking other humans to try to fight back against fovos and they all fucking died
Maybe Yharon had it all along and just waited for a worthy champion to muster it
Ah… its all coming together
Ofcourse they all fucking dies it’s fovos
though i do like to think that their efforts to parry this attack did save some of their fellow soldiers, if only until the next attack arrived
OH MY GOD
Imagine fovos just seeing 50 insects running towards him and he just crushes them all in one shot
i thought kana was back for a sec
also that moon lord gif got mentioned in a cal lore video that i was watching
which i found very funny
I felt a roller coaster of emotions seeing this
Wha
Wich one?
Must see
Kana is famous
The lore vid?
The one DS made right?
yeah i commented on it, and the person who posted the video agrees that kana had a big impact on lore chat
idk
Do you have a link?
WHAT DO YOU THINK THE FIRST GOD YHARIM KILLED WAS? leave your guesses in the comments. And leave your cat down there too I want to pet it.
Green text means bestiary entry, red means Yharim, and weird blue would be Draedon but he isn't in this video :( if you can't tell he's my favorite Calamity Character.
both that and their previous video
i think are quite well made
the first one especially raised an interesting point about planetoids
there are probably a few nitpicks i could make about this one, but for the most part i think it's quite accurate
Amazing
Ark of the Calamity when
Kana has made a lasting impact
Truely ”intelectual”
i just missed when putting my headphones back on and hit myself in the nose
wonderful
Awful
my evil spell worked
gasp
reverie how could you
now i'll need to cast a curse in return 
i'm sorry, but you brought this upon yourself
Im fighting the urge to say ”calamitous”
and you just lost that battle

The curse is 4 hours of college left
real 
i get both thursdays and fridays off college :)
Fuck you time zones
I get just Thursdays
i get no free days
Hai reverie
hai
I shall curse an unlucky soul with a 4d blanket
holy shit ty
This is like handing me a single line of blanket.
Utterly useless to me.
If you are such a mind bogglingly anomalous lifeform, then why do you use such a pitiful and obscure platform like Discord
Even a child likes to play outside with ants.
Is that spiderman
Do you have like a 16.468e+20g wifi
Yes.
Damn
Yeah it wraps around in the most uncomfortable ways possible
My Wi-Fi is so good, I am able to read your messages before they are even sent.
What do yall think Xerocs name is, since we know it ends in ”oc”
The Rock
Dwayne Jonhson is possible.
What is Obama's last name
fredrick
Who the fuck is last name
Ligma xeroc
They don't have one.
Can't relate

wip fractured ark entry
would ark of the ancients
be the final product
and everything after, is an upgrade
that was in relation to something else
What if the changes to draedon and bosses associated with him in cal master mode and ftw/gfb were made to reflect an alternate scenario of almost everything going right for him
Unsouls your Soul Mechs.
What if draedon got angy and could only be summoned via sacrifice of blood
What if draedon was never built
Perhaps he would need some sort of Sample of Blood...
only the destroyer contains souls
Truly, an evocation
Aged man older than Yharim
Landing on the ground of the island, Léa noticed that the soil was a lot softer and lighter than on the surface, her boots leaving visible footprints wherever she stepped. However, the seeking mechanism kept on moving further upon activation, but she decided to investigate the building regardless. Stepping inside, she could smell a pleasant yet damp scent lingering in the air, tiny particles of dust glistening in the rays of sunlight peeking inside from the gilded windows. The room was completely devoid of any furniture, except for a single chest residing in the middle of the plate-covered floor.
Some paragraph of a sky island I wrote
The twins use energy harvested from other alien realms to the Distortion
Skeletron Prime uses energy harvested from celestial bodies and phenomena, modeled after the scrapped Alpha and Omega
🌟
The chest has a starfury which she won’t use lmao

should someone make GFB lore
Would be cool if we got context on an alt timeline where shit got that fucked up
A world where everyone decided to be goofy
just a lil silly :3
That would make Cirrus canon in said story, so no one will 
draedon is the most happy in such a timeline
that is the one exception
cutely commiting enviromental terrorism
"Teehee, I just did a liwwle accident :3"
fovos destroyed the surface
Oopsie daisy 🤭
that has the same vibes as the Ring a Ring o Roses nursery rhyme
just a little silly plague that kileld millions is all :3
millions were plagued and withered away :3
Is this a pHGoose🎇 reference🤔
why he 💥
super duper WIP entry for galaxia ( i might entirely rewrite this because i dislike it)
i dislike galaxia in general because melee gets so much shit compared to every other class :)
I'd like to show you this.
#suggestions-discussion message
Just a thought I had once.
yeah that's an idea i already had
it's been thrown around a bit in the past in this channel iirc
i was lurking for that conversation though
it might've been your message that reminded me of it
the "Overseer's gaze" thing is actually related to that
initially, the attunement failed, because the blade rejected the foreign essence of the distortion (just realised that sounds xenophobic)
but noxus took notice, and saw a potential outcome that could be of benefit to it
so it focused its "gaze" upon the blade, suppressing its rejection of the distortion's essence and allowing the attunement process to be completed
God, I hate it when my magical sword rejects another dimension's essence.
surely not
Hai
Ahhhh, how is everyone, I am not here often still but I’m here anyway.

I'll be honest, even though the sprite quality is better than current ctp EoC and the tendrils are longer, I like the ctp one more overall
Sso weapon changes was taking ages to load
Oh okay

Ask orios they made the chart iirc
Triangle hasn't said anything about it tmk
there is another way for create fish finder in game ?
cuz angler quests are so long
This is Lore Discussion.
why did this you spam this question in like every channel sob
sorry
its ok
Miau
This aged poorly

There won't be T6 arsenal armor
Unless you count the exo armor as the 6th tier of arsenal
So I guess it makes sense
I believe Draedon is talking about his favourite childs, the Exo Mechs.
that makes sense
Especially with the addendum he adds at the end.
the T4 stuff was the strongest gear that he provided to Yharim's army
that means the godseeker knights could be on par with post-moon lord terrarian
that's kinda nuts
These were also the guys whose souls were put into the mech trio i think
If they are also using Tier 3 Arsenal armour, it would mean they are on par with a Post-Providence Terrarian.
you can see why Yharim wanted Draedon around, if he could mass produce weapons that put his soldiers on par with gods
True.

Holy crud
Brimmy is cal's brain confirmed????
also the calamitas looks like she needs to eat
She needs deer crackers to develop her non-existant brain...

The latter
^
i read half the lore document just now and I gotta say its pretty good
What do you think of Yharim's cause
his cause seems just in its concept but much like historical conquerers his methods were corrupted and vile
That’s just how it is
Yeah, let's just say there were some dead people, just a slight amount
"I organized them into shock troops, dreaded for their flamethrowers and incendiaries.
Leveling places of worship and torching those falsely devout, their expertise lay in unmaking faith with flame."
mhm
there was a small seemingly-contradiction somewhere but I forgot where it was
ah here
"The ritual condemned and fused the bodies and souls of their fallen allies into this hideous thing. When the warlocks pledged their very lives to it as an offering, it awoke and effortlessly massacred them." vs "The mangled reincarnation of the God of Sacrifices, given life once more." for the creation of the ravager. its not directly contradictory but it doesnt describe the events in the same way and it doesn't make a lot of sense to describe it as having been formed by the bodies of fallen allies vs the body of the god of sacrifices. To me, at least.
Dude his cause isn't even just in concept, he's just really good at manipulating you
Also yeah, yharim does just lie sometimes
draedons reports of it seem pretty unbiased
Draedon is unbiased, yes
The bestiary entries are an all knowing and unbiased entity
The lore items are yharim
Anyways, yharim didn't just hunt gods. His main thing, really, was killing everyone who was associated with any god.
That ended up being hundreds of millions of people
That's not a method. That's a cause
i think hundreds of millions is a reach the terrarian continent and world isnt that developed
Only like a handful of the gods were even evil
Oh, it was, it just isn't anymore because he killed everyone
A lot of this information isn't in game yet
no, it wasnt, based on the reports of technology at the time by draedon and the living npcs in game who were alive during crusade
Huh?
No, it is, as confirmed by developers, there's just a lot of information missing
population boom to the levels of hundreds of millions to billions in the relatively small world of terraria compared to earth is unlikely
It isn't relatively small. That's just the gameplay. It's normal continent sized in lore
There were around a billion people on terraria
Yeah we only play on one continent, but that isn't mentioned in the doc afaik
Oh yeah, I forgot about that one
There was nothing good about yharim after like the first few years of his crusade where he killed the gods oppressing Azafure
Basically everyone he killed was innocent, the people who deserved it were a tiny fraction numbering in the hundreds
We don't see this in game, because almost everyone is dead
i agree with that but that doesnt mean his justification isnt fine by itself if all he had done was kill those gods. Though consideration is to be had if they should be held responsible for those actions after so long if it may damage the natural structure of the world
Let me put it this way: every single zombie and skeleton was someone his crusade killed. They don't keep coming back, they just come back once, and there were that many of them
that kinda contradicts the reports of the blood moon in lore
Oh, then sure, but that's so far from what he actually did that it really doesn't matter
yeah he sucks
Blood moon lore is weird and might be changed from what I understand.
if its changed thats cool but currently it claims that even when yharim was a child/teen before crusades and his destiny stuff, hords of undead would still swarm during blood moons and he would go out killing a ton of them for fun
and given that it also says the civilizations were largely unaffected by this it doesnt make a lot of sense for there to be a steady supply of probably hundreds of thousands or millions of undead regularly
That would still work if every person that dies of things like old age came back once
Or if the blood moon specifically makes different monsters and the other kinds of undead are different
even at a population of a billion blood moons at that scale dont really check out from natural cause deaths coming back once idk
i get what you're saying but dont really agree about the undead just coming back once thing
It is confirmed that at least normal undead are only coming back once
Through Calamitas dialog, not sure if it's released yet
The lore explanation for it is that it just dosen't really seem that believable ingame because terraria is terraria
Honestly i don't think any explanations for undead would make full sense so i can't really blame anyone for this one
- Yharim could be lying
- Yharim could have incomplete knowledge and be misinterpreting the situation
- Yharim could be right, that the bodies of the "fallen allies" merged with the God of Sacrifices' corpse to create Ravager
the very hard to grasp concept of
"sometimes people are just wrong/misinformed"
Guys
why did nobbody point out
how gods aren't inherently evil
and how plenty of the gods yharim killed were actually like fully benevolent
yeah silva seemed unnecessary
most of the gods we know he killed were benevolent
in fact
the only god (not counting corruption/crimson) we canonically know with certain is a Evil Bastard is Providence
all the others lie within something of benevolence, neutrality or questionable due to lack of information
he is righteous
not propaganda btw i was there
i am the righteous hand of the f- i mean zeratros
Even his plan at concept isn't good, if we assumed he stayed strict to it, he wanted all gods gone, including good gods that helped humanity flourish, his justification infsct isn't even about them being evil but about yharon and dragons biased + just the concept of basic generalization "these gods wanted me gone, then the rest must bad"
I mean we KNOW the part about him being sentenced to death for refusing to consume the soul of a dragon egg is true
yeah it really is just vengeance that he convinced others (and himself) was just
yeah
but like
which is rather messed up
if a dog bites you
does that suddenly mean every dog in the planet wants to bite you
That has nothing to do with every god, I can't commit genocide on a species because a group of them fucked me up
yeah exactly
this was a conglomerate of a lot of dogs wasnt it, that sentenced him to death
It was just a group of gods
It wasn't the entirety of its council
^
they don't work in tangent with eachother
1 god can be completely evil and fucked up
They are more like nations no?
the others
Others are dictators

im operating from halving read like 1/3 of the lore so I believe you but thats some perspective on where im coming from
where can I find lore not in the document
it's less so lore not in the document and more so about the fact yharim is just lying to you 90% of the time
You kinda just ask here
but ig there's like
dev statements?
but yeah i dont blame you given yharim is one of the amazing like 3 total large-scale sources of lore in the game but do keep in mind chances are if hes telling you smth regarding morality or gods or dragons hes lying to you
hes a gatekeep gaslight girlbosser
the entire point of his whispers are to gaslight the terrarian
Plus, it's just yhsrim wanting to avenge dragons moreso than justice, because yharon kept feeding him that idea that dragons were cool chill dudes that did nothing wrong til evil humans killed them all , ignoring the idea that some gods could have gotten it via consent, or killed evil dragons in the defense of their nation as we know is the case with providence
Yharon*
Ironic that provi killed a evil dragon and became like
the most evil motherfucker ever
Yeah
like girl you were supposed to make things better by killing mr evil dragon of flame
not worse
I just woke up and managed to somehow call yharim yharon, and dragons gods
We love evil women
I wonder if there was a god of cats
me
I mean, her fury could've been the start of it
She seemed really angry
i dojnt think provi was awlays eivl
evil
i think she probably wnet a little crazy after the horrors
Do you think God of sacrifice killed the death dragon righteously or nah
god of sacrifice didnt give vibes of positive action based off the ideas of their followers ngl
no
The concept of society runs on sacrifice, it isn't inherently evil
they created a physical amalgamation of corpses for the sole purpose of destruction of those threatening them
u sacrifice ur free time when u have a kid
That wasn't thr intention
They wanted their God back
The ideas of their followers of sacrificing themselves to give one last attempt at saving their people
Fucked it all up
And he turned out like this
the corpse amalgamation part seemed pretty much part of it
how I read it was that controlling it after was the failure part
not the structure of the revival itself
It was an attempt at bringing their god back, perhaps they thought due to his nature as god of sacrifices it would've been different from the usual necromancy
But it very clearly uh
didn't turn that way
is this strictly true? Maybe for a certain concept of sacrifice
It would be significantly more interesting if the god of sacrifices wasn't a bad guy imo
but you usually get way more back than you give up in a society
him being a evil grr gie your firstborn to me god
Sacrifice by definition is literally in our every day life
is sort of the expected
Sacrificing is just trading but sounds a lot meaner
is any trade a sacrifice
and its frankly not that interesting at a base level, although ofc as with any writing concept it can be made interesting
oh, then sure
but like
the god of sacrifices being a good guy
is not expected
and can be insanely cool
this is definitionally false though
By definition not really
You're sacrificing something to get something else in return
p
Though i don't think the god of sacrifices was much of a trader since that'd be making the definition really broad but still the point is
is it possible that he was wrong to kill the dragon of death but did good with the power he got after?
sacrifice is alot more than just Kill Your Firstborn
This would be
really cool
unexplored territory
what if calamity lore
that is kinda just how humans are very often
what if i BITE you
i would die
Pick your poison
wtf
can i revive you plz
the first 2 both are directly definitionally NOT what trade is in human society
I would like to point out that dictionaries are BS
you arent giving something up for something you gain, you give something up for a cause
They all fit a general meaning, something can be both called a trade and a sacrifice st the same time, the point is that it isn't inherently evil
imagine if god of sacrifices wasn't sacrifice as in GIVE ME BLOOD GIVE ME DEATH but more so the paragon of an almost idealistic monk-ish ideology of sacrificing the unimportant things in life for the sake of what truly matters
it is technically true that one of the definitions of sacrifice is the same as trade, but sacrifice includes cases where the trade is not equal
whereas trade implies mutual benefit
The first literally says something, not cause
sacrifice does not
uh eyah it says you give SOMETHING up to a deity
that is
in that one you dont get ANYTHING in return
As I said, pick your poison but the point is it isn't inherently evil
yeah but he brought it up
i wasnt really concerned about that one
cause its religious
The first one isn't religious?
oh man discord displays
the first one i can see is the second one and the second one i can see is the 4th one
mfw,,
I see confusion
Sacrifice can be used in many ways
One of them is that similar to trading
This isn't even the point either also
The point Is that it isn't inherently evil
makes sense
So to say just because he's a God of sacrifice it makes him bad doesn't make sense
I CANT
i can see that guy being a littleee evil yknow
What if those babies had like, a really bad vibe about them man
im the god of killing babies
wtf
in the way its used by the the god of sacrifices followers, at least in the creation of the ravager, its definitely evil, which leads me to believe the god did not do its due diligence warding away from evil sacrifice practices
well maybe not "evil" but definitely bad
All we know of that intention is that they wanted him back, not to rampage
evil implies 0 positive intention
I imagine the god of sacrifices was all about blood sacrifices and such, but was very fair. He used those blood and soul sacrifices because they gave the power to do the things his worshipers wanted
and they may have had SOME positive intention
Didn't it even use failure? I don't remember the log
this would also
be cool..
Again
It could be easily interpreted as heroic
How many stories have you seen where a hero sacrifices themselves to give their allies one last chance at victory?
Are you reading yharims log?
Obviously he'd make it seem that way
He fucking hates Gods
ive read the yharim logs and draedon logs and some other lore
