When you die while wearing the Silva armour, Silva's ghost appears in front of you and goes:

"You can't die yet! Ganbare, Terrarian-san!"

light linden
#

for context, been thinking about making some auric tier versions of armors just for the fun of it

#

not sure if they'll ever be in my add-on but still

spring helm
#

so you stick auric on already existing armours to make them stronger?

light linden
#

eh

#

more so partially redesigning them

#

e.g. making the omega blue tentacles end in dragon heads

spring helm
#

that's cool

split mortar
#

I like it when a not lore chat becomes lore chat

#

Anyways I shall go sleep

Auric wulfrum armor

Complete with auric mech suit

#

Is Yharim canon

#

Actually

#

Which Vanilla NPC's are canon

spring helm
#

all except santa i think

heady vapor
#

He should be

#

Santa is the goat

spring helm
#

the reasoning is that Christmas implies the existence of Jesus

#

but it's not too difficult to make Santa exist in Calamity

heady vapor
#

Like Xeroc IS a god, but he's not the ORIGINAl god

#

Which means there must be a god

#

And if there is god, then there is Jesus

#

Then if there is Jesus, there is Santa

#

Boom

spring helm
#

our Santa Claus came as a result of folk tales about Saint Nicholas giving gifts and performing other miracles

#

it's not too unreasonable to imagine that someone did something similar in Calamity and became the originator of Santa Claus

heady vapor
#

Plot twist, it was Dreadon

#

Dreadon is Santa

#

New lore made

#

Send it to the lore writers

light linden
#

imagine if yharim became an npc

heady vapor
#

Like SCal?

light linden
#

how many other npcs would get pissed?

sinful adder
cloud ibex
#

you kill that mf

spring helm
#

i actually can't think of a way to get Yharim to become an NPC without breaking his character

light linden
#

I mean

spring helm
#

no

light linden
#

if he thinks there's no point in fighting why not just let him retire

spring helm
#

like his narrative character

light linden
heady vapor
#

Mainly SCal

#

And Permafrost

spring helm
#

number 1: SCal
number 2: Permafrost
number 3: Dryad
number 4: Amidias

light linden
#

you think amidias would try to kill him?

#

wait why the dryad?

heady vapor
#

Who is that again?

#

Amidias

light linden
#

sea king

devout grotto
spring helm
#

king of ilmeris

heady vapor
#

Ohhh

#

The one in the Clam?

spring helm
#

yes

devout grotto
#

Ah alright, thought you were talking about Dryad

spring helm
#

the one who's civilization Yharim ordered to be incinerated

heady vapor
spring helm
light linden
#

oh

devout grotto
heady vapor
#

Who is Silva???

spring helm
#

the Goddess of Life

#

also the Elemental of Nature

dusk laurel
#

Yah

spring helm
#

and the first Dryad

heady vapor
#

I keep getting the message "Dispersing Silva's remains"

spring helm
#

still dont know how the Dryads are related though

#

I CAN'T DO THAT

#

#

did you get warned or something

#

oh you did

#

that's why

heady vapor

Oh yeah

#

I said some things

devout grotto

#

I'm not gonna question it

devout grotto

maybe it's not so bad, guys. I got warned too once and we all know how innocent i am

dusk laurel

Right

that's dog?

#

due to recent complaints about the lack of lore discussion, i will attempt lore

#

discussion

#

With the Silva armour, there is a possibility that we could make armours using the essence of the other elementals as well

#

what would they do

hybrid barn
gritty kraken
dusk laurel
#

I think demonshade would basically constitute as a Brimmy armorset if the whole Calamitas absorbing part of Brimmy's powers are true

hybrid barn
#

In her current state, the Cloud Elemental's armor would probably just function as regular armor

sinful adder
#

If certain lore theories are right, we already have brimmy armor

dusk laurel
sinful adder
#

I was about to say

spring helm
#

Since Silva's armour is about healing, i think the earth elemental's armour would then be focused on defense

#

which would be nerfed immediately since the devs don't like tank builds

hybrid barn
sinful adder
#

Earth elemental also isn't a real elemental

light linden
#

cloud elemental's would prolly give low defense but immense mobility buffs

hybrid barn
dusk laurel
#

Sand ele

#

The real earth elemental

sinful adder
#

Oh right

#

Sand elemental is the real one

#

The earth elemental is a golem

sinful adder
light linden
#

prolly

#

honestly

hybrid barn
# dusk laurel The real earth elemental

I feel like it'd make more sense for the sand elemental to be an offshoot, not only on account of being a sand elemental specifically, but also being...weirdly weak despite the immense presence of earth in Terraria

If anything, you'd expect them to be at least on the level of Brimmy, and probably above in her current state

light linden
#

might design some elemental armor

dusk laurel
#

It has the luxury of being the elemental over heat

sinful adder
#

Elementals can split themselves into many smaller incarnations, and often do. The sand and cloud elementals we encounter are just a few of many

spring helm
#

and then of course guys, whether you like it or you hate it, the Heart of the Elements exists.
COMBINE THE ELEMENTAL ARMOURS

hybrid barn
spring helm
#

personally I think they're one in the same like Brimstone elemental and her brimmlings

hybrid barn
#

So y'know, it doesn't really get involved in all the chaos of the surface

sinful adder
#

You have no evidence of this. The sand elemental is the real earth elemental

#

We have no evidence of the existence of a "real" earth elemental

hybrid barn
hybrid barn
#

Imagination is half the fun of lore discussions

light linden
#

I was thinking of making it an all class armor but with less potent bonuses than the pillar armor

sinful adder
#

Sure, but like... I think it's much more likely that the sand elemental is the earth elemental

spring helm
#

gem tech armour but nothing it's just as shit

spring helm
dusk laurel
#

Apology accepted

#

[I don't use it]

light linden
spring helm
#

not like the HotE's any good either

light linden
#

I like it solely for the healing

#

the healing effect is very nice

dusk laurel
#

HotE might be getting reworked anyways

spring helm
#

the biggest debuff (though some may consider it as its best feature) is that all 4 elementals fly around you when it's equipped. Makes it hard to see everything else since the sprites are quite large

#

i'll admit i do like equipping it as vanity, since it makes it look like i've recruited the elementals as my goons

#

perhaps that word is not the best descriptor anymore

light linden
#

I mean

#

prolly not

dusk laurel
light linden
#

especially considering what people want to do to the brimstone one

dusk laurel
#

I forgot it's used like that now too

#

Good thing they're getting redesigned

spring helm
#

i liked the Clud Elemental's valkyrie appearance though

#

it was cool

#

didnt like Brimstone elemental

#

too plain for my taste, she's just naked and that's it

hybrid barn
light linden
#

actually

#

that's basically biome blade armor

dusk laurel
spring helm
#

I LOVE BIOME BLADE

dusk laurel
#

How much

spring helm
#

it's not as good as it used to be but it's still great in my heart

light linden
#

ngl

#

I hate how the line ends

spring helm
dusk laurel
#

I know XD

light linden
#

galaxia feels plain and ark of the cosmos feels underwhelming

#

true biome blade was cool though

spring helm
#

ark of the cosmos lost all the biome blade aspects except for the animation

#

and even then one of them didnt make it

dusk laurel
#

I think tweaking Galaxia and AotC a little would be good

hybrid barn
spring helm
#

yeah

dusk laurel
#

Yep

hybrid barn
#

Aaahhh, damn

spring helm
#

you can tell just from the name though, that the AotC is mostly an Ark line weapon and barely has any Biome Blade in it

#

it plays exactly the same as the Ark of the Elements, with some of Galaxia's swing animations

warm gull
#

ngl I think the galaxia is cooler than the aotc

dusk laurel
#

I love coolant

hybrid barn
#

Y'know, looking at it, it's kind of interesting that it focuses more on the ark aspect too! Because design-wise, I feel like it reads more like an upgraded Galaxia

warm gull
#

I like that you get to pick the galaxia's attack instead of just doing an uncontrollable combo over and over with the aotc

spring helm
#

a small thing i'd add to Galaxia is the Glacial state debuff to the Aries' Wrath attunement
and then with the AotC I'd have it apply the debuffs that Galaxia does based on the animation

spring helm
warm gull
#

yeah that's why I just generally prefer the galaxia

#

it's just, cooler

#

the aotc is something you just hold down

spring helm
#

you can either hold to do the full swing animation, or you can let go a little early to make the AotC do a special attack

#

with the Ark of the Elements, doing that gives you two charges, so you can always get at least two empowered strikes per combo if you master the loop

#

but that feature is gone with the AotC, so there's no incentive to let go earlier and do the special attack

hybrid barn
#

Or I should say, I didn't have a reason to think it wouldn't be like that

dusk laurel
warm gull
#

yeah and I'd also like to be able to pick the attack

#

instead of doing like 3 melee attacks and then 1 ranged

#

over and over

hybrid barn
#

Honestly, in continuation of what I said earlier about it reading more as an upgrade of the Galaxia, it feels like the Galaxia was used as the base and then parts of the AotC were used as modifications to contain and amplify it

So maybe a cool way to do that would be to have a contained form with its regular attacks, and then an unleashed one, that'd focus more on the Galaxia half of it

spring helm
#

anyway back to loring

#

so miracle weapons cause the miracle blight debuff

light linden
#

and some of the exo weapons iirc

wind hornet
#

poor astrum deus :(

spring helm
#

so we can conclude that touching miracle matter (or excited Exo Prisms) causes the Exotic Resonance to begin disassembling you

light linden
#

yes

spring helm
#

to me this sounds pretty similar to Auric's no touchy ability

light linden
#

draedon says that iirc

spring helm
#

both kills you if you make contact

#

i just found that cool

light linden
#

it's more so extreme radiation

#

with auric it's on contact

#

with unstable miracle matter it's near it iirc

spring helm
#

Match Yharim's freak bullshit hax ability with a material that has a similar phenomenon

#

when will Miracle Armour be real

hybrid barn
light linden
spring helm
#

current auric tesla armour recipe is kind of miracle matter esque

#

you combine a bunch of other armours using auric

dusk laurel
light linden
#

still wonder what auric specifically is

#

is it stone charged with bits of the world soul?

hybrid barn
#

Also, I actually have a contribution to the lore thing! This could be based on older lore, so details could've been changed since it was made, but I wonder if Yharon knows that Yharim's been calling you up to give you tips and lore throughout your adventure when he's referring to you in the lyrics of his phase 2 song

spring helm
#

it seems like it?

dusk laurel
#

Perhaps maybe

spring helm
#

one of the lines is

Or was it all your intention?

hybrid barn
#

That's what made me interested, because it makes me wonder if he knows, or if he just has it on good conscience that there's something he doesn't

warm gull
#

Fallen Bastion of Deceit

spring helm
#

personally, i think Yharon knows Yharim's been contacting the Terrarian, but doesn't know what Yharim's been saying. Meaning that Yharon doesn't know what Yharim wants from us,

hybrid barn

#

question

#

do y'all think illmeris made alcohol?

#

most cultures irl made at least beer early on

spring helm
#

depends on if they had ready access to food with a lot of sugar, since that's needed to ferment

light linden
#

hmm

spring helm
#

which they could easily import

#

hold on i need to collect a dev statement real quick

light linden
#

azafure prolly couldn't make alcohol now that I think about it

#

too hot

spring helm
#

even if they couldn't make alcohol, i'm sure they were able to buy it from neighbouring countries since they were a rich trading nation

light linden
#

actually

#

y'all know sea grapes?

#

imagine if illmerians made wine from them

devout grotto
#

I always thought of Rivazzula and Ilmeris having a close relationship

#

This may come in handy

light linden
#

hmm

#

hey do we know who cast the seal on the ceaseless void?

dusk laurel
#

Either the Dragon Cult or the dragons iirc

#

Probably the former, but I might be forgetting something

light linden
#

hmm

#

ceaseless void is also a portal to the distortion right?

dusk laurel
#

Yah

light linden
#

hmm

#

wonder if the lunatic cultist ever tried going through it

#

and that's what drove them insane

spring helm
#

he went insane due to the bureaucratic bullshit Yharim put him through

dusk laurel
#

Well we'll know what's up with them in SSO

spring helm
#

so much paperwork that Yharim never did because he didnt care and then the whole thing fell apart

light linden
#

oh also

#

do we know who illmeris traded with?

dusk laurel
#

Not really

spring helm
#

they have not been named

dusk laurel
#

Azafure was likely one due to their insane connections everywhere, also being a major industrial hub

light linden
#

still wonder how far the underworld spans

#

because if it spans the entire world no wonder azafure developed so fast

#

it could trade with any point on the planet

dusk laurel
#

It's just a large magma cave iirc

#

Although it's still really large compared to a typical cave

#

Guys is there any lore reason why letting Calamitas enchant your stuff is SO expensive

#

Why does she even want the money, she pays no rent, what’s she doing with it?

#

Or more importantly why does she allow someone else to use literal curses on tools

#

Or am I just to dumb to understand? (Yes I am)

maybe that took a toll on her

cosmic minnow

#

though thankfully her dialogue rewrite is gonna change that

cosmic minnow
#

(Not like my main has 10000 plat)

cosmic minnow
cosmic minnow
mighty zenith
#

you see
that would require rewriting the entire code for terraria's interaction system

cosmic minnow
#

(Will never happen ik)

mighty zenith
#

and as ive learned from some of the devs who actually tried to do that

mighty zenith
#

no

#

its terrible

cosmic minnow
#

Great

mighty zenith
#

like absolute hell to work with

cosmic minnow
mighty zenith
#

currently you have exactly two ways to make npc dialogue

cosmic minnow
#

I’ll get into modding and do it myself if I ever have the time (fuck college)

mighty zenith
#
  • remove their functionality and just make them say things (so no shop or anything like that)
  • write several sentences that randomly show up when you click on the npc
  • happiness quotes
#

and they're all limited

cosmic minnow
#

Oh cmon

mighty zenith
#

you can only have like 2 sentences until it stops fitting in the box

#

so each line has to be relatively short

cosmic minnow
mighty zenith
#

its a dogshit system

cosmic minnow
#

Like how much effort needed (time)

mighty zenith
#

especially since calamity has so many other things going on that are of more importance

#

terraria's code is not good

brisk ore
#

i think its enough for npcs to just say a little random line and have a creative shop with a set theme

cosmic minnow
#

Mayyyyyvbe I’ll try to do something

#

But I don’t even know how to code

#

Most complicated thing I did was put up a server that works when my pc is active with a few commands

brisk ore
#

thats actually very good

mighty zenith
brisk ore
#

useful at least

brisk ore
mighty zenith
#

it's difficult to write convincing characters with it

brisk ore
#

mostly

mighty zenith
#

especially considering how one-note vanilla npcs are

#

writing a more complex character using it sucks

brisk ore
#

so coding special functions such as goblin's reforging is very hard?

mighty zenith
#

not sure bout that

#

but changing the npc interaction menu is tedious from what ive seen

#

granted i am not a coder either

brisk ore
#

i think thats the most you can go with an npc

#

eiter a normal shop seller,a special function plus shop guy or a quest giver

#

i can guess quests are the hardest to code

cosmic minnow
#

Maybe instead of making horny art some redditors could write sum calamity fiction

brisk ore
#

maybe they should put their effort into making a normal texture pack

cosmic minnow
#

Or at least draw Calamitas as the brimstone witch

brisk ore
#

like finishing the calamitified vanilla pack

cosmic minnow
#

And not some sexualised mess

brisk ore
#

idk how it is called

#

yeah,concept art is best at that

#

the calmitas one is great

no the cal subreddit

tropic oak

you poor poor moderator

#

just start disallowing nsfw in its entirety clueless

we mostly did

fighting back agains the single word coomers is pointless but actual horny stuff gets nuked

She does wear a longass robe and armour

brisk ore
cosmic minnow

She used a barrier

brisk ore
#

didnt know she actually had armor

cosmic minnow
#

Talking about it how strong is Calamitas physically?

brisk ore
#

depends on how you view it

cosmic minnow
#

Cuz in the fight she shields herself

mighty zenith
#

you can draw her looking cute or pretty without drawing her half-naked is my point

brisk ore
#

ig she can infuse herself with magic but would that count as physical strengh?

yeah?

#

all five of the descriptions say they either aren't finished or will be changed/added to

one of the polty ones outright ends in Unfinished iirc

cosmic minnow

Maybe I’ll just start writing myself

#

But I can’t even handle my own oc

(Much less because I can’t even draw him)

hoary berry
#

i think i might start writing one of my oc's fight with cal soon

cosmic minnow
#

Better ping me when done

spring helm
#

How to Kill Your Foes felt finished

#

But I guess you want to add other bosses

cosmic minnow
#

How am I even supposed to write a character that was close to yharim….

#

Or maybe I went too dramatic with the betrayal, fight to death thing

spring helm
#

Emotionally close you mean?

hoary berry
#

but the doc as a whole isn't

cosmic minnow
#

Problem being he’s mentally and emotionally much worse than yharim (evil but he does change over time)

Uhhh I’ll try to write it at sum point

#

Im not happy with how he’s rn

What kind of armor

devout grotto
#

I should make a soundtrack claim (?, something like voice claims but for a soundtrack) for my story/ies

hoary berry
#

what is a voice claim

devout grotto
#

Basically your headcanon or whatever on who'd voice an unvoiced character

#

I imagine my stories as games rather than novels

cosmic minnow
#

Thats a cool way of thinking

#

Tbh

devout grotto
#

There was a playlist I saw back when I was in 4th grade (and really into MLP) that pretty much shaped this way of thinking

cosmic minnow
#

I always listen to music that fits the situation or atmosphere of the character I’m thinking of (like when I try to imagine my oc)

#

It helps with imagination

#

Problem is I can’t draw so it’s kinda pointless

But I could stop being lazy and write his persona

Including the pieces that broke off?

(and the physical superiority isn’t by much)

split mortar

I mean

#

Yharim is not bad at h2h imo

but he shrimply doesn’t have a style made for someone who can easily resist his auric rejection

so he kinda just gets trashed

Holy shit more things to cosnume

#

years ago i interpreted old lore xeroc as an unfathomably ancient deity whose very power was seemingly linked to violence and war. This all came from stuff like the old name of the Gorecodile, old Boss Rush lore, and the lore descriptions of the old Empyrean armor

untold oracle
#

I imagine the guy talks in mettaton’s voice

#

Is Yharon still a jungle dragon? Idk new lore

mighty zenith
#

nope

#

no connection to the jungle
he's the Dragon of Rebirth

#

same with Yharim
no jungle connection, his main title is now The Godseeker

cloud ibex

#

Yharon the desert vulture

#

i haven't written anything particularly emotional or dialogue-heavy in a while

#

i kinda want to do just that now

Chat, is this how Yharim could talk.

spoke with a commanding voice: ”Your presence stirs the dragons tomb. Here many know my name, but I assume you do not. So, allow me to introduce myself. I am Yharim and i am know as the god seeker. And I sense that you share an essence with a dear friend of mine. I believe we are connected. So you must tread my path for the world is in ruin. Do as I say and answers and truths on this new world you walk will reveal themselves to you”.

fading helm
#

I mean we dont really know how he actually talks

cloud ibex
#

i mean you can just look at the lore items to see how he talks

fading helm
#

Yeh but that is more of a narration

deft vessel
#

I just want to know that im writing him correctly

fading helm
#

Not really a conversation

fading helm
#

Hell even scal is also pretty changable depending on the writer

cloud ibex
fading helm
#

My personal opinion of yharim talking tho is probably like what you said

cloud ibex
#

but i think i am pretty decent at visualizing a conversation

hoary berry
#

a lot of my fight scenes are very vague and focus more on characters' internal thoughts

fading helm
#

Fight scenes are pretty hard to write anyways too

hoary berry
#

maybe 'vague' isn't the best word

fading helm
#

Cus you aint really seeing it

hoary berry
#

but i don't usually go into so much detail as to describe it blow-for-blow

for reference this is what the Stranger looks like

untold oracle
#

Jumpy legs

fading helm
#

Good hat

split mortar
#

Is any part edible

fading helm
#

Is that a cape or smth else

#

It doesnt look like a cape after the shoulders

#

Like it splits off

#

Or am I tripping

#

OHHH ITS A SNAKE

#

Im blind asf

cloud ibex
#

i imagine that when they first appear on terraria they'd just be a janky robot skeleton but after beating the Exos (and destroying his recon drone/giving Draedon death threats) they salvage some prisms off of Ares and upgrade their vessel

split mortar
#

(Why the death threats)

cloud ibex
split mortar
#

Why is there just a a straight up snake

fading helm
#

Btw why does calamitas still use the titles like sorcereress of the godseekers court

#

Is this some deviation where cal is still on yharims side

#

Or just a former title

cloud ibex
#

the idea is that they also have a separate drone on their back that can fly up and give information about the surroundings, and the snake goes up and plugs into their eye to relay the information

split mortar
#

It’s a former title and it prob still intimidates people idfk

cloud ibex
#

why a snake? because i thought it'd look cool and i like snakes

split mortar
#

Fair

fading helm
#

It is defenetly very cool

split mortar
#

Prikki would approve

fading helm
#

Does the hat habe a function

#

Or is it for coolness

hence the Wicked Witch of Ilmeris/Raging Fires of Azafure part

fading helm
split mortar
cloud ibex
#

(basically, they can become invisible)

#

but they couldn't really use that against Cal because she sentenced them to The Box™️

cloud ibex
split mortar
#

Ah

#

Young machine more moral then old machine

cloud ibex
#

one of the Stranger's few hard moral stances are that slavery is Always unacceptable, no matter what

split mortar
#

And draedon lacking all morality is just like “whar?”

#

-# isn’t he confused in why yharim left or do I need to reread the Draetalk

fading helm
#

Draedon doesnt do slavery afaik, closest is plague but that was more of a highschool project for him

fading helm
#

Like i think he paid his researchers

split mortar
#

The plague commits slavery on infected organisms

untold oracle
cloud ibex
#

the idea i had for their post-fight conversation is that Draedon starts yapping about them both being alien to this world, the Stranger beats the shit out of their recon body and rips its head off, draedon goes "not cool don't do that again. anyway" and continues talking

fading helm
#

Or was it seeking obedience

#

Maybe i remember wrongly

untold oracle
#

It was trying to utilize organic beings in power

split mortar
#

The plague is a bio mechanical disease made by draedon specifically to control the u predictability of organic life and assimilate it

untold oracle
#

Or smth

split mortar
#

Well not boo mehh th ai cal

#

The fucking typos wtf

hoary berry
#

that's one for the quotebook

dusk laurel
#

mehh th

cloud ibex
#

he thinks the fact that the Stranger acts so un-machine like at times is very interesting, invites the Stranger to be further studied, the Stranger tells him to eat shit and die and Draedon goes "well when you've calmed down you know where to contact me"

split mortar
#

Well not biomechanical more so just nano bots acting like disease

split mortar
cloud ibex
#

they do not

#

but they do invent miracle matter and then use it for armor

#

Draedon uploads the forge directly to their brain clueless

fading helm
#

Finished reading and love the way that robot talks

#

Peak right there

#

Was he made by draedon or some other dude

#

John wulfrum his father??!!!

split mortar
#

Probably factory made by draedon idk

#

Maybe John wulfrum actually idk

cloud ibex
#

their backstory is that they're not from terraria at all and they came here by idk but it wasn't on purpose

fading helm
#

Yeah meant if he was born on yharim or some other sude side

fading helm
#

I see

#

Btw did you make more of these or did you only just start?

cloud ibex
#

this is the only one

#

though i do have some ideas for them fighting the exos and meeting the arms dealer (him specifically because the Stranger doesn't like melee combat, so when the arms dealer shows up they're like "finally some good fucking weapons")

fading helm
#

I never really thought about it but perma and amidias being a main factor of the character not killing scal is probably the biggest reason
Always overlooked it

fading helm
cloud ibex
#

it's half perma and amidias asking them not to do it, half them being a really practically-minded individual

#

what they say about killing a beaten opponent being a waste of time is their literal thought process

#

if you know someone isn't gonna be an obstacle anymore, why waste energy killing them?

#

but them giving her the health potion is entirely because of amidias and permafrost wanting her to be okay after the fact

cosmic minnow
untold oracle
#

By the end of my scal battle I’ll have them both notice them being wrong; Cal doesn’t see Léa as another Yharim and Léa doesn’t see Cal as a sadistic killing machine

#

Léa proceeds to have a mental breakdown right after

sleek halo
#

similar

#

to mune

#

well basically they realize scal isn’t the real reason behind ilmeris’ destruction

Idk how to handle my SCal fight yet

untold oracle
#

Though yeah corruption too

sleek halo
#

i’m a 1000% sticking with my teleport inside the shield idea

cloud ibex
#

probably the first thing i thought of when it comes to SCal vs the Stranger was their finisher and the crumbling arena falling around them like when vergil first appears in dmc5

sleek halo
devout grotto
#

Oh yeah

cloud ibex
#

i really liked the visual of the shards falling straight through the floor

I have names for both versions of my Terrarian now albedothink

i like that

devout grotto

(Yes, I gave them tree-related names)

sleek halo
#

i only have dikairam for my silly god guy

#

still need to figure out my terrarians name

cloud ibex
#

i do have a name for the Stranger but i kinda hate it and couldn't think of anything better so i'm just going with the Stranger

those messages were meant to be sent faster but my fucking internet died

damn

untold oracle
sleek halo
#

I always ahd an idea

#

for yharim v scal

and it’s basically tusk act 4 and d4c love train

cloud ibex

it also kinda made the title of the story a play on one of the lines from SBC ("The Witch and the Prophecy")

yhat gif hurt my eyes

#

LOL

Simply wait for the anime

# robust osprey and what is moonlord

With what we know right now is

Really fucking strong alien
Extinction event level alien
Attacked the planet and is why auric dragons could be overthrown
Can damage their ability to be reborn from yharon somehow

fovos isn't it's actual name, it's what chrysadians called it iirc

I think Moon Lord is just a shitty name the Terrarian gave Fovos lmao

99% sure that’s it

Considering “eater of worlds”

literally a worm

Either way it still works as one of its many names
