#

Xeroc is so beyond us they can just stop the fight whenever

#

Like

#

Completely in every way better then us in combat

fierce pagoda
#

Im really gonna need that "we kill Xeroc" mod

#

for my own ego

split mortar
#

Well unless you make your OC like marks then they get dunked in shimmer buckets or something

dusk laurel
#

I remember Reb or someone else saying that like full power ML and Noxus were like the 90s

fierce pagoda
#

oh

#

is that outdated?

split mortar
#

Idk

#

Remember something about that

dusk laurel
#

I'd say the Terrarian is like 60-70 range

#

Maybe 80

fierce pagoda
#

but wait we kill Noxus

split mortar
#

But they said ml was not 95 cause that’s too close iirc

split mortar
#

Noxus is stronger but ends up dying thanks to us anyways

fierce pagoda
#

Nah

#

We kill him were stronger

#

thats how i see it anyways

split mortar
#

(The way they worded it didn’t mean we were garunteed to be the one who actually killed them)

spring helm
#

Garp was very much the inspiration when I was writing Yharim’s fight with my Terrarian

split mortar
#

They’re more deadly but it’s not due to the child itself

fierce pagoda
#

the gun makes the difference

split mortar
fierce pagoda
#

I mean of course, they are not a better marial artist

#

but they would still win

split mortar
hybrid barn
#

Kinda depends on how you see it, since you'd be fighting Noxus with whatever overpowered gear you'd have at that point and probably a backpack or two of potions, and it'd just be working off of pure birthright

fierce pagoda
#

You don't win fight because your strong, you get called strong because you win fights. type shit

split mortar
fierce pagoda
#

David vs Goliath type shit

#

David was stronger than Goliath that day

split mortar
fierce pagoda
#

and im using stronger in a sense that who would live and die after a fightt

fierce pagoda
#

but obviously i get your point

hybrid barn
#

Now if you did one of those beginner gear challenges with him, that might be a different story
Because then it's officialize that you can beat him just on merit of skill, even if you'd never out-strength him

fierce pagoda
#

of course a child with a gun isnt STRONGER than a martial artis

#

im just kinda going crazy with definitions

split mortar
fierce pagoda
#

this makes me think then, would you say that the weapons the terrarian uses isnt a part of the terrarians strength?

#

I think thats kinda unfair

dusk laurel
#

I doubt Yharim could of killed Shakidou without armor and weapons

fierce pagoda
#

haha Shakidou

#

thats kinda funny to say

#

shakido shakido shakido

split mortar
#

I think it’s a mix of both, the weapons are ludicrously strong legendary weapons but they need someone able to weild and push them ti their limits

Rebecca also scaled the terrarian to being able to like hold a house in one arm iirc

hybrid barn
#

Oh yeaahhh, good point

fierce pagoda
#

What is the heaviest weapon we hold

#

like ignoring inventory shenanigans

#

what is the single heaviest object the terrarian is shown holding

hybrid barn
fierce pagoda
#

Yeah the exo weapons are huge as hell

split mortar
#

I think Exo blade, it’s swing animation is huge

fierce pagoda
#

Rockscalibur looks kinda heavy

#

Holy collider is also huge

split mortar
fierce pagoda
#

think about the future exo spear

#

imagine if its thrown

#

how much force would the terrarian need to generate in order to throw it

split mortar
#

I think Exo blade is the biggest and heaviest due to swing anim, throwing items on the ground causes the sprite to be bigger if it’s higher quality and so shouldn’t be used for size and weight iirc

fierce pagoda
#

woah wait i think maybe the resprited Magnomaly cannon may be the heaviest thing the terrarian holds

split mortar
#

Maybe

hybrid barn
fierce pagoda
#

oh like the stronger you get the faster you swing it

So city to country is over 1000 times difference

split mortar

#

y'all think a miracle matter whip with an alt-fire that tethers you to the target but deals constant tags and hits would be decent?

wheat walrus

But would it be decent?

light linden
dusk laurel
#

Ah

#

I think it's a neat idea

light linden
#

I'm tryna think of what I want the miracle matter whip to be

I need to get more concrete ideas before I consider that

pliant ruin
#

coding, spriting and music will all be done by you or do you plan to get some people to help?

light linden
#

first two yes

#

music idk

hybrid barn
pliant ruin
#

that's pretty neat

light linden

music scares me

fierce pagoda
#

If im ever making music for my own game/addon im just gonna be singing into the mic not gonna lie

pliant ruin

i wanna learn how to compose some day

#

fierce pagoda
#

oh those things

pliant ruin
#

that is actually alot of really tiny jelly tubes that got together

fierce pagoda
#

when we talked about abyss enemies that one time

pliant ruin
#

there's gonna be a space siphonophore in calamity

light linden
#

.

pliant ruin
#

it's one of the planned critters

fierce pagoda
#

so thats the whip?

#

post polter whip?

light linden
#

yes it drops it

fierce pagoda
#

haha thats kinda hilarious

#

you take their body and use them as a weapon

light linden
#

it's gonna be in layer 4 of the abyss

fierce pagoda
#

honestly not anything out of the ordinary for terraria

light linden
fierce pagoda
#

How far along is your mod? only in the idea phase currently?

light linden
#

idea phase yes

#

I have however tried to code in two of the whips

#

specifically the astrum deus whip and the rusted anchor chain (post skeletron whip)

#

the astrum deus whip refuses to function though and it annoys me

light linden

#

I have a question, not exactly of the lore
I know that the whispers are not in-universe thing, and that they'll be eventually replaced by something else

But if I'm trying to make a calamity fanfic, what should I use for Yharim to communicate that would make sense in universe?

spring helm
#

letter

fair pelican
#

so he would be sending letters at every boss?

Alright goodbye

split mortar
river python
#

the DoG have an auric soul?

#

after all him is the Devourer of Gods

#

him should have an auric soul obtained of consuming a god

pliant ruin
#

No

#

You don't get an auric soul by eatinga god

#

It's through a ritual

river python
pliant ruin
#

Also gods don't have auric souls, they have their own souls

river python
#

of an auric

#

soul

pliant ruin
#

you don't get it through eating it

#

thats like

#

eating a cow and thne growing horns

river python
#

makes sense

brave dew
#

Does all cows even have horns

river python
pliant ruin
#

no not all of them but most do

brave dew
#

Anyway but then what does dog get from eating gods ?

pliant ruin
#

nothing

brave dew
#

He kinda dumb

pliant ruin
#

it sends the divine essence to noxus

brave dew
#

He just eating gods cuz he hungry

pliant ruin
#

(Probably. Technically not confirmed but it's like 99% guaranteed.)

brave dew
#

Does he even gets like idk stronger or sumthin ?

pliant ruin
#

no

split mortar
river python
#

if him eated a god

#

he should be stronger than a god

#

isn't it?

dusk laurel
#

He doesn't absorb it

split mortar
#

Yeah, but that doesn’t make it a god

river python
split mortar
#

Or gain properties if one

river python
#

but his strenght and raw power should increase

#

equal to a god

#

using just logic

split mortar
#

Dog is stronger then most gods anyways

brave dew
#

Guys when scal says "An upstart who recklessly stole and killed their way to power. I wonder, who does that remind me of...?" who is she talking about ?

pliant ruin
#

The upstart is you

#

The person it reminds you of is yharim

#

but

#

the dialogue is outdated anyways

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

split mortar
pliant ruin
#

not really?

brave dew
#

Mhmm

dusk laurel
pliant ruin
#

Since when was "you eat something = you get its powers" a universal rule

#

that was a thing in old lore yeah but not in the current version

split mortar
dusk laurel
#

Eating makes you less hungry, it doesn't always make you stronger

brave dew
#

So dog ate gods just cuz he hungry

pliant ruin
#

nah

#

it sends the divine essence to noxus, as i said

brave dew
#

What does that mean ?

pliant ruin
#

the essence of the gods, divine essence

#

it sends them to noxus

split mortar
pliant ruin
#

rather than it actually digesting the essence it gets dimensional rift'd to noxus

brave dew
#

Damn

#

If noxus didnt exist tho would dog keep all that essence to himself ?

dusk laurel
#

We don't know

#

Probably

split mortar
pliant ruin
#

If noxus didn't exist then dog wouldn't have a need to eat gods probably

#

or just not exist yeah

brave dew
#

Noxus is just making his slave do his job bruh he's such a coward

split mortar
brave dew
#

Ig lol

split mortar
#

Good luck surviving when the fucking sun god telefraggs your neck

brave dew
#

So he's making dog do his job because he's scared of xeroc ?

split mortar
#

Think so

#

Cause there’s no other reason I think

brave dew
#

I mean if noxus comes and eat gods n shit it's not like xeroc is gonna come here and be like hey can you stop or smthin

split mortar
#

(Also mango leaked lore that may become canon and that xeroc is hunting Noxus in the distortion)

frozen zodiac
#

cursed thought
because i headcanon dog has a british metal face like voice
wouldnt that make noxus british too

brave dew
#

Noxus cannonically is british and supports trans rights

pliant ruin
#

kill him probably

split mortar
pliant ruin
#

worse

#

that's even worse

magic epoch
pliant ruin
#

why would you willingly make your son british

brave dew
#

I doubt noxus can just

#

Shit another dlg

dusk laurel
brave dew
#

Dog

split mortar
pliant ruin
#

well but the actual issue is noxus

#

not dog

split mortar
#

RUDE

brave dew
split mortar
pliant ruin
brave dew
#

He cant make dogs fast anyway right ?

brave dew
#

Like he can just make 1 then he gets killed and then he's helpless and has to do the job all by himself

frozen zodiac
# brave dew Shit another dlg

i hate that you worded it like this because i imagine the same absolutely disgusting sound divine makes in hollow knight when she shits out the unbreakable charms

magic epoch
#

do we even know if the devourers are a specie

pliant ruin
#

not really

#

i imagine not

split mortar
pliant ruin
#

i think devourer is just 1 guy

split mortar
#

Same

magic epoch
#

bro is actually the servant of the scourge

pliant ruin
#

holy shit

brave dew
#

Isnt storm weaver close to dog ?

pliant ruin
#

he was the real servant of the scourge all along....

#

🔥 ✍️

#

no not really

magic epoch
pliant ruin
#

theyre both distortion worms but theyre unrelated distortion worms

split mortar
#

I think they’re just a flesh construct thing that does its job for noxus now

fierce pagoda
#

Does Xeroc not know that DoG is helping Noxus?

split mortar
brave dew
magic epoch
#

draedon himself says that "one might assume they are related, but any further inspection would prove otherwise" or something like that

brave dew
#

Dog needs to be treated better

split mortar
brave dew
#

I hope its not confirmed

split mortar
split mortar
brave dew
#

Also thats the hive distortion theory right ?

split mortar
brave dew
#

Alr

#

Well i hope its false

#

Cuz i love dog

#

I want him to be my lil space wormy guy

#

Not a used up slave

pliant ruin
#

Well he might not be a slave

split mortar
#

I mean
If dog is part of the hivemind
That means noxus was speaking through them

And was being brutally honest about the ceaseless void thing lol

pliant ruin
#

but hes

#

definitely working for noxus

brave dew
#

Could dog physically beat noxus ?

split mortar
brave dew
#

Like if he takes noxus by surprise

fierce pagoda
#

Imagine if a random storm weaver is more powerful than providence, what kind of cracked dimension is distortion? Just Causally housing post ml beings

pliant ruin
#

no

split mortar
brave dew
#

Fuck

#

What if dog eats providence's core

pliant ruin
#

noxus is literally a post yharim superboss

brave dew
#

Sint that supoosed to make him stronger

pliant ruin
#

that wouldnt change anything

#

again

#

dog dosent get stronger by eating gods

split mortar
#

^

#

That’s old lore

brave dew
#

😔

magic epoch
#

pretty sure dog is like

#

a trash compactor

#

for the best comparison

brave dew
#

Can he even get stronger at all

split mortar
brave dew
#

Except like

split mortar
#

Organic and all

brave dew
#

Getting new armor

magic epoch
#

with outside reinforcement? yes

brave dew
#

Bruh

split mortar
#

Pretty sure working out and stuff would work

But won’t surpass scal imo

brave dew
#

Dawg 😔

split mortar
#

Dog is a fun guy

So I want Noxus to be speaking through dog

So we get to experience more of dogs personality

brave dew
#

If noxus speaks through dog

#

Were only getting noxus' personality

split mortar
#

And? Still a fun personality

brave dew
#

B-but

#

Dog

sinful adder

brave dew
#

Also how is a portal stronger than a holy goddess

magic epoch

it isn't

what the guh

Isnt xeroc like the big strong god of evrrything

#

He made shit

magic epoch

#

Actual moron

split mortar
magic epoch
#

xeroc is the god of primordial light

#

Noxus making dog is my theory

magic epoch
#

he didn't like

#

Make Everything

sinful adder
#

I think providence could pretty easily beat CV

sinful adder
brave dew
sinful adder
#

he actually made basically nothing

magic epoch
#

that's literally what I said

split mortar
# magic epoch what the guh

It’s a boss further in progression

Scal isn’t weaker then Exo mechs cause I find her easier no that’s me not the lore

sinful adder
#

oh I misread

#

I thought you said "didn't he like", not "he didn't like"

split mortar
#

This was talked about before lemme get it

brave dew
#

Who wins between

#

All 3 exo mechs at once

#

And scal

#

Is the power of exo mechs the power of all three combined ?

sinful adder
brave dew
#

Or just 1

#

I doubt its just 1

split mortar
sinful adder
#

no, scal and exos

brave dew
#

Scal and exos are at the same stage of progression

#

Just some people might find one easier than the other

sinful adder
#

also, you can make rune of kos without providence

#

hell, I might skip past providence for a bit next playthrough, to get a sentinels tier weapon

split mortar
sinful adder
#

that's true

#

but still, it's like...

#

at what point does something count as the same tier

split mortar
#

Ceaseless is still post prov in progression so it’s still stronger

Even if barely

Which it isn’t

We only fight the seal the portal remains fine

frozen zodiac
#

i always find scal a much more climactic fight than draedon as the final boss spot
like draedon is just the climax of his curiosity on the terrarian into a legendary test
but calamitas is a battle to help someone realize they need someone to heal their wounds inflicted long ago

hot valve
#

Tbh the idea that storm weaver is stronger than providence feels wrong to me

split mortar
split mortar
sinful adder
#

calamitas feels more climactic to me in terms of relevance to the story

magic epoch
#

calamitas is also awesome

#

i love her

sinful adder
#

exo mechs feel like more of a pain than anything

magic epoch
#

but like in the good way

#

not the bad one

sinful adder
split mortar
#

For me Exos feel perfectly as the boss before scal

#

I also think the music and colour scheme go well

hybrid barn
#

I agree, but I do wonder if that'll change when Yharim is released

fading helm
#

Tbh i got more hype on draedon rather than scal

split mortar
#

They please better do better then scal

fading helm
#

because of the labs

#

and all the bosses

#

made by the dude

#

Also mechs are inherently cool

split mortar
#

Not saying draedon has a lack of build up

But I think scals theme of magic and the colour red specifically help with it more

Also yeah mechs cool

#

Maybe also bias from her being the old only final boss idk

fading helm
split mortar
#

This isn’t even a difficulty thing I find her piss easy

fading helm
#

what reason was there for her to look like that tho

split mortar
fading helm
#

never got it

split mortar
#

Calamitas is trans but not conventionally, got it

dusk laurel
#

What are the implications of "ice worms" being added to Calamity

pliant ruin
#

ice worms are not being added to calamity. sand worms are being added ❤️

dusk laurel
#

Right

hybrid barn
pliant ruin
#

Well in calamity there's one

#

if you count base terraria ones

#

there's like

#

three

hybrid barn
#

Well that is a fair point

pliant ruin
#

Oh i guess if you count juvenile desert scourges that'd be 4

#

and then with the baby scoogs coming in SSO that's 5

#

so i guess you're right, technically

#

I personally headcanon dune splicers and tomb crawlers as the same species though bc... cmon

dusk laurel
#

Yeah I definitely see it

pliant ruin
#

there's this thing i made a while back which i'm reposting becvause i dont think you saw it

#

i also made one for antlions

#

i should make a new one

dusk laurel
#

I remember this

split mortar
#

Back when they had that pfp

pliant ruin
split mortar
#

Of the funny plush woman character in hand

split mortar
dusk laurel
#

I wonder what the relationship between the GSS and Dune Splicers were

#

Since GSS was the apex predator

pliant ruin
dusk laurel
#

Also Dune Splicer and Desert Scourge have the same acronym..........

pliant ruin
#

so i dont think its an active part of the enviroment

#

which i'm glad because uh

#

great sand shark lore is kind of a mess?

dusk laurel
#

Yeah I can't really tell what goes on with it sometimes

pliant ruin
#

it's supposed to be an illmeran survivor but
-how did a shark suddenly manage to live on land
-what are the normal sand sharks. are they like a smaller species. and if so are they native to the desert or also illmeran survivors? if they're illmeran survivors, why are there like. so godamn many

#

also

#

-does it compete with scoog???

dusk laurel
#

Maybe the 2 other sharks are related to it

#

Sharkoon and Pulse Raptor

pliant ruin
#

yeah but that dosen't really answer most of the questions at hand

#

i doubt its related to sharkoons tho

#

actually no

#

i think its likely to be related to sharkoons, more so than pulse raptors

#

atleast in its current iteration

#

its fins has these like, claw things

#

sharkoons also have claws

#

which leads me to believe they're probably related

#

less so than pulse raptors since pulse raptors have normal shark fins

dusk laurel
#

I think they did compete with the scoogs, but there is like barely anything about it

#

They were both predators in Ilmeris

pliant ruin
#

i mean i think they probably came from different enviroments

#

but my main concern is at their current state

#

they're both fat desert things

#

do they like

#

compete

dusk laurel
#

Yeah

#

Like what is this

pliant ruin
#

the nefarious mole

sinful adder
#

Honestly it's body shape is vaguely mole-like

#

With the hands

pliant ruin
#

yeah it has the big claws

split mortar
#

It looks,

Soft

Round

dusk laurel
#

It does look like a mole

split mortar
#

Not pointy or threatening

pliant ruin
#

great sand mole

sinful adder
#

Suppose it convergently evolved the shark body plan

light linden
pliant ruin
#

it existing is cool

#

more content for vanilla biomes is nice

#
  • event content
light linden
#

it kinda needs more content tbh

#

I've never had to use any of its drops and if boss checklist didn't have it I likely wouldn't have known about it

glossy wolf
#

chat died

jaunty wraith
#

I just realized somthing

#

Pumpkin moon is not canon in any way

#

Including the drops you get from them

#

So if horseman's blade isn't cannon... Does that mean zenith isn't cannon?

hybrid barn
#

I feel like there isn't much reason for it to be

warm gull
#

me when I see something that isn't very good

jaunty wraith
#

Zenith is supposed to be the culmination of the journey in vanilla

#

Doesn't really apply to calamity

#

If anything that be the exo blade

warm gull
#

in the exo straight up blading it

#

exo blade should be cooler imo

#

and not be miracle matter

hot valve
hybrid barn
jaunty wraith
#

I love how that's really the only established about the player character

#

They're bad at naming things

warm gull

except that spazmatism and retinazer are cool...

Skeletron Prime...

The destroyer is accurate because it destroys my entire town's population

if someone were to consume both the auric soul of flame and gluttony what god do y'all think would be created?

Hi pengorino

#

I wonder

#

what would happen if an auric dragon absorbed another auric soul?

#

I imagine yharon would be absolutely livid

gritty kraken
light linden
#

still think the future bosses were a really cool concept

#

I hope they get revisited some day

calm patio
#

very doubtful since they were just reskined bosses with just boosted attacks and such

light linden
#

Personally I think it would be a cool replacement for the boss rush

#

They'd need more changes than what the previous future bosses were like but still

calm patio
#

either way, iirc DoG isnt hunting providence anymore

#

so

#

those 3 future bosses werent good either

at least when some of them were still possible

hoary berry
#

looks great so far

cloud ibex
#

i wanted to emphasize that Yharim isn't quite unreasonable enough to refuse to accept that his approach to avenging the dragons hasn't been the best

he fully knows that all the genocides and war crimes and such were never morally good, he just believes they were justified

did yharim wipe out literally every settlement in the heartlands or something?

I think I'm actually considering that

Feels kinda poetic

Strawberry juice

cloud ibex
#

since the recipe for lesser healing potions and regen potions are almost identical (only difference is a piece of gel instead of a piece of daybloom) the idea i got is that healing potions are essentially supercharged burst regen potions

#

and the reason potion sickness exists is because if you drank more than one healing potion in a short timeframe you might end up growing more limbs or some shit like that

#

regenerating things you weren't actually missing

hoary berry
#

I’ve got the silly little headcanon that lesser mana potions are literally just regular water you make via magic to store it
When you swallow it, the spell breaks and the mana is returned to you
Upgrades are just fuelling the water with more potent mana

untold oracle
untold oracle
#

So does this mean water is good in storing magic?

hoary berry
#

I was more so just thinking that it’s the most convenient store

#

Food fills you too quickly, takes longer to intake and is more complex to create

deft vessel
#

Perhaps storing it in fish is more potent, because fish are used in stronger potions

Today I broke the 20k word mark btw lol

Which makes this the longest text I’ve ever written

I often read things with 10k word chapters and I think that’s about my limit in terms of what I am happy with

hoary berry

Anything beneath that I think is pretty manageable as a reader

if we were to get a future boss version of providence what do y'all think she'd be called?

#

what would happen if the terrarian obatined an auric soul?

wheat walrus
#

nothing really

#

against yharon we only get a few fragments for all I remember, but even if we do get the entire thing we wouldn't know how to properly ascend using it

#

knowledge about how Xeroc ascended to godhood just kinda spread like crazy presumably because there was someone who witnessed it happen and decided to snitch

#

but then, as entire eras passed, more gods ascended and more dragons were lost, that knowledge would become more obscure

#

then yharim steps in and he would hella do his best to gatekeep any form of understanding about absorbing auric souls

#

after all his bestie has one

#

so yea, we, the terrarian, wouldn't know about how to absorb auric souls under normal circumstances

#

of course your terrarian

#

your character

#

you do whatever you want with it

#

there is no hardcanon about the terrarian so you could just throw in that you actually know how to absorb an auric soul in some way like idk Yharim being fucking blind or whatever you want it to be

brave dew
#

I loved the part where yharim stepped in and said "its yharimin' time" and proceeded to yharim all over the place

how long did it take?

Poor mark, why did you break his 20k words?

#

Im sure he worked very hard for them

sinful adder

#

How evil is Yharon? Cause from a lore standpoint we don’t really have a reason to fight him and it kinda seems like he just fights us just cause

sinful adder
#

He was 100% on board with everything yharim does

#

He definitely contributed

#

They killed all the gods and everyone who worshipped those gods

#

So, 200,000,000 people

split mortar
vocal pelican
#

Someone compared him to palpatine and yharim to vader

sinful adder
#

This is accurate

#

Also: only some of the gods were evil

vocal pelican
#

Didn’t Yharon basically groom yharim into being evil?

sinful adder
#

The dragons were just as bad

split mortar
vocal pelican
#

The only evil god I can think of is providence, like even the slime god isn’t strictly evil I think

True, but even then, dragon society deliberately prevented humans from living anywhere except underground

vocal pelican
vocal pelican
#

Yea true i guess

sinful adder
#

It's basically just speculation

split mortar
#

Yharim would have prob decided to kill all gods even if he just learnt the auric souls ascension stuff imo

vocal pelican
#

I believe that Yharon pushed yharim past the point of no return though

sinful adder
#

He was probably already there

vocal pelican
#

Well he was chosen to ascend into a god by consuming Yharon’s soul wasn’t he?

sinful adder
#

Yes

#

And he refused

#

Yharim wouldn't exist without Yharon's influence

#

He'd be dead

split mortar
#

Keep in mind yharims only experience with gods was
“Kill this being who will live forever otherwise”
“No”
“Lava bath then”

sinful adder
#

And also wouldn't be named yharim

Is Silva evil or just a chill plant spirit that happened to consume auric soul?

sinful adder
#

Hold on...

split mortar
#

She is the elemental of nature and the goddess of life

I would say chill person

vocal pelican
#

Elementals are generally neutral at best right?

#

Well actually cloud elementals seem chill

#

And there’s Heart of the elements

hybrid barn
#

I don't think she "just happened to consume the soul", but she isn't quite evil earlier
I think I remember it being said that the soul was willingly passed onto her

split mortar
#

Each elemental wants to expand their domain

But silva seems the most intelligent and capable of other things like ascending and blessing jared to protect terminus (I think that’s the case)

vocal pelican
#

Like then not all gods have sinned

sinful adder
#

"The return of the Age of Dragons, dashed. Just like that, it is but ashes in the wind….
Yharon was the last of the Auric Dragons. As a phoenix, his domain of power includes rebirth.
The Gods thought him culled with the rest of his kind, but he returned as an egg. Hidden on the Aerie.
I was destined to consume his Auric soul when he hatched, and rule forever as God-King.

Destiny is for the weak.

I rejected their whims, and upended their scheme. I was sentenced to execution for treason.
Their meek, ingratiated swine cast both Yharon's egg and I into the magma of Hell.
The intense heat hideously scarred me, but birthed Yharon anew. He rose, wreathed in fire and saved my life.
From that day, our souls were one. He shared with me the tale of Zeratros, and the genocide of his kind.
I promised him I would have justice. So the war began, Yharon rallying all as a beacon of hope.
Now, that hope is long withered. I am but a husk of the hero I once was, and this is the ultimate proof.
Yharon may yet return, as he does, but he… he has bade me farewell."

There's even a possibility that the "big bad" of the story, Xeroc, will end up not actually being that evil, just someone who happened to kickstart the deific era

We don't really know much about his personality yet, but what little we have hasn't firmly shown him to be sinister in nature

vocal pelican
#

I mean just because a gods essence is light based or hallowed doesn’t mean they’re good, example being providence

split mortar
#

Hell with what little we know bunch of people think Xeroc is some form of good guy

sinful adder

This is unironically the most likely explanation for the reason he got the same domain, he was attuned and that probably requires willingness

Only things ingame like night Provi and Warbanner still haven't been changed

#

Yeah

vocal pelican
#

So is providence just a goddess of fire?

split mortar
#

She consumed the dragon of flame so her domain isn’t flame

#

It’s heavily related

#

But isn’t the exact same

Her domain hasn't been confirmed yet

Will they change the drops for night

No canonicity on why the Terrarian did it

split mortar

dusk laurel
#

No

#

She has a reason

split mortar
#

She attacks us cause we seem like yharim 2 to her

dusk laurel
#

She is afraid we'll be a 2nd Yharim

vocal pelican
#

I mean we’d be scarier than yharim wouldn’t we because we’re doing everything by ourselves right? We don’t even have any soldiers we just do everything alone with the exception of running a small commune

Yharim is still strong

The world soul hates everyone but calamitus so it made the terrarian to kill everyone but her
