Damn I did not think you all would be this clueless

#

ZERATROS

#

HE SAYS

#

KING

fierce pagoda
#

oh itsz eratros

cosmic zenith
#

YEAH

fierce pagoda
#

i figured it out

indigo glade
#

faust bleh gif

#

@pliant ruin I need your urgent help.

fierce pagoda
#

I was just wearing Yharon and Yharim tinted glasses

cosmic zenith
#

It's Zeratros if he was a Rain World Echo

indigo glade
#

I need you to send a GIF.

dusk laurel
#

Any second now

fierce pagoda
#

I figured out it was Zeratros by myself, Im so proud of myself

indigo glade

#

Erra, erra, erra

beatboxing

#

I like the third to last line.

dusk laurel
fierce pagoda
#

its like when you beatbox

#

or when you spin the disk as a DJ

indigo glade
#

That GIF was vital to send my feelings to all.

real silo
#

So this confirms that zeratros willingly gave up his soul to xeroc

pliant ruin
#

Oh neat zeratros poem

cosmic zenith
#

Thanks!

pliant ruin
#

Nicely written and understandable too

dusk laurel
#

Xeroc haters are crying right now

cosmic zenith
#

Honestly, the ones I'm cooking up for Christmas are cooler.....

fierce pagoda
#

Will these be in-game

cosmic zenith
#

It's not a poem, it's dialogue smh....

fierce pagoda
#

or are they just here

cosmic zenith
#

No

#

They're outside Calamity lore entirely

fierce pagoda
#

so like they arent canon?

cosmic zenith
#

Zeratros is not, in fact, a Rain World Echo

pliant ruin
#

Zeratros realized he wasn't strong enough/capable enough at wielding his power to defend terrarian, so he allowed his auric soul to be absorbed so his power may live on through someone more capable

cosmic zenith
#

Yeah, they aren't

fierce pagoda
#

wow so it isnt confirmation that Zeratros gave up his soul willingly

pliant ruin
#

A wrath so intense it spared those guiltless.

A resolve so adamant not the Moon could crush.

#

This part is interesting though

gritty kraken
pliant ruin
#

Well the latter seems obvious

cosmic zenith
#

What exactly implies he gave up his soul willingly, as in, to Xeroc

pliant ruin
#

Zeratros was determined to defeat Moon Lord

#

I am sacrifice.

My life is forfeit so my memory may endure.

fierce pagoda
#

I am safricice, i must give my sould so memory mode

cosmic zenith
#

He gave up his soul when he decided to defeat Moon Lord :p

#

He was gonna die

indigo glade
pliant ruin
#

so my memory may endure

#

this part is kinda confusing then

#

because it really seems to suggest the entire

indigo glade
#

Just because Zeratros talks of sacrifice, does not necessarily mean he gave his soul to Xeroc.

pliant ruin
#

hes gonna die but his soul will live on etc

indigo glade
#

It could be memory in a literal sense.

#

As in, the Auric Dragons will remember.

cosmic zenith
#

Yeah

#

Memory of Zeratros and awareness of the flaws that lead to his downfall

pliant ruin
#

fair enough

fierce pagoda
#

Regardless of what happened, Xeroc was feeling hungry for Dragon soul that day

light linden
#

so fun fact

#

I brought that lava cow message from rebecca to another server and they started ranting about the pogo stick nerf

The lava what message

pliant ruin

Yharmy stimulants

spring helm
#

I wouldn’t be surprised if they did take stimulants from time to time

#

I’ve given it some thought, and I think I’m gonna go against the slimes in terraria being multicellular

#

No real reason as to why, I just think it would be cool

Is fosvos a distortion being

#

Text me about the lore

#

I’ll answer there

high lynx
#

ok but where do i find dungeon lore

spring helm
#

not much lore about the dungeon rn

high lynx
#

AH

spring helm
#

the Dragon Cult built it on top of Ceaseless Void

high lynx
#

i need to check polterchan lore item

brazen coral
#

I think Yharim used it as a prison for those that opposed him, and left them in there to die. Their spirits make up Polterghast

spring helm
#

apparently whoever cursed the Clothier modelled skeletron after skeletron prime, so there's that

high lynx
#

really?

#

wheres it say that i want to read it

spring helm
#

there's this statement from Reb

high lynx
#

bro theres only one calamity bestiary entry about the dungeon

spare pier
#

Don't worry there will be a lot more in SSO

light linden
#

hi rebecca

high lynx
#

i may have to remove a part from my script then

hoary cape
#

Wait dungeon bestiary in SSO?

high lynx
#

But i shall not

manic coral
spare pier
#

True!

high lynx
#

Oh now im getting re-hyped for SSO

dusk laurel
high lynx
#

im gonna have to revamp my lore

hoary cape
#

How are they dungeon related though

dusk laurel
#

Dungeon enemies

manic coral
#

vanilla enemy rewrites

hoary cape
#

Oh

high lynx
#

This freaking peaks

hoary cape
#

I thought new dungeon enemies

#

Lol

manic coral
#

nope

#

sorry!

high lynx
#

I will wait as patiently as i can

manic coral
#

no more enmies at all ever in fact

#

this includes bosses as they are just more complex enemies

hoary cape
#

Dungeon has enough as it is

manic coral
#

argubly could do with a few less

hoary cape
#

Kill all of them

#

The dungeon doesn't need enemies

#

The phantoms are lame

high lynx
#

is the stuff we know about Yharim gonna get changed significantly

#

because i know lore items are getting transfigured but i just dont know how much

light linden
manic coral
#

ine33e

light linden
#

what

manic coral
#

i meant indeed but

#

i am very tired

light linden
#

oh lmao

dusk laurel
#

Real

manic coral
#

not since the initial rewrite

#

just added upon

hoary cape
#

Lore is done guys /j

high lynx
#

phew

hoary cape
#

It's over

light linden
#

you mentioned he's gonna get more dialogue, is any of it related to the astral infection?

manic coral
#

after the new writing team got together nearly two years ago now the first thing we agreed upon is no changing anything at all because

light linden
#

always wondered what the mages of calamity would think about raw mana turned into a blight

manic coral
#

good god old cal lore changing and shit made it like

#

confusing and unfun

high lynx
#

so i can make a lore bite about Yharim at any point and i'll only have to update it to add new things and it wont be inacurate

light linden
#

neat ty

manic coral
high lynx
#

ok sick

manic coral
#

some WRITING might be changed to be made better but that's all

light linden
#

oh actually another question if you don't mind

high lynx
#

alright

manic coral
#

not actual INFORMATION changes

high lynx
#

im writing a lore bite script rn

spare pier
#

Actually we are very much willing to change stuff but not super major stuff

#

Like

hoary cape
#

I wonder who the first god yharim killed was

spare pier
#

The only "major" thing we'll be changing is Empress' stuff because it's

manic coral
#

just stuff like "hey cal dialogue while not inaccurate could be done better" and "hey draedon logs were the first thing i ever wrote, maybe i should go make an write them a bit better"

spare pier
#

Pretty bleh

manic coral
#

becuase it comes into conflict with maybe other people's ideas and shit

light linden
#

I'd do the same

high lynx
#

some of the first were the evil biome ones

spare pier
#

Like, the only three things we discussed actually changing was

high lynx
#

"having slain my first gods"

hoary cape
#

I mean did the gods even order his death or did the servants of them just go ight how dare you say no yeet

spare pier
#

Empress, Baby Cannonball Jellyfish's entry, and a few Offshoots

spare pier
#

Not the three main ones, but like

#

Basilisk

light linden
eager bluff
#

guess whats happening in sso

dusk laurel
#

It's already been implemented

light linden
#

(I'm not a sadist I swear)

high lynx
#

like vector's squid launcher?

dusk laurel
#

In sso yeh

spare pier
eager bluff
spare pier
#

I wrote it and used it to imply something that literally no one on the team agreed on

high lynx
#

i like the unknowns in having a crappy narrator

spare pier
#

So I consider that more a blunder on my part than an actual retcon

manic coral
#

i will say it was fun making Yharim unreiably but not too unreiable so people can argue on what parts are the true parts

high lynx
#

draedon is a better info provider but he has less biases imo

manic coral
eager bluff
high lynx
#

bestiary is the least biased but yharim is still the best source

manic coral
#

the downside of draedon is, there's a lot he doesn't pay attentiont to because he doesnt care

high lynx
#

bc every boss has a lore item

manic coral
#

what he DOES know, he's a very reliable source on

eager bluff
#

i envision his lab notes like scp testing logs

manic coral
#

one of the most reliable

high lynx
#

but draedon only has inquiries on a few bosses

spare pier
#

Though I still want to rewrite Plantera's, Ravager's and Weaver's Lore Items because as I have stated before

hoary cape
#

Yharim isn't the best source all of his opinions are biased smh

manic coral
#

but he just doesnt give a shit about a massive amount of things

#

meanwhile yharim is the opposite

high lynx
#

biased sources tell more of a story though

manic coral
#

he's kind of unreliable but has opinions and thoughts on jsut about everything

high lynx
#

and im all about story

#

the lore

manic coral
#

and what he says isn't entirely false. it's just abotu figuring out and deciding what the true parts are.

spare pier
eager bluff
spare pier
#

So I wanted to change them to follow more of a "I am not sure what these are, but I think I know enough to make an assumption"

high lynx
#

but even the bestiary knows yharim is stupid

#

it says so in the DoG entry

manic coral
hoary cape
#

I want to believe that the gods didn't take the dragons auric souls without permission lol and I am hoping that is the truth eventually. Now does that mean the gods are all good no because some are probably absolute jerks lol

manic coral
#

politicians are great at spouting incorrect information with 100% confidence

high lynx
#

also if the bestiary had a voice, what would it be

hoary cape
#

Provi for instance is bad

light linden
high lynx
eager bluff
high lynx
#

interesting take

hoary cape
#

David Attenborough

eager bluff
#

or david attenborough

manic coral
light linden
spare pier
spare pier
#

But considering he's trying to, at the bare minimun, get on the good side of the Terrarian

light linden
#

was the flame dragon weaker than providence?

eager bluff
#

objectively yes

hoary cape
manic coral
#

deity provi, yes

spare pier
#

She had three people helping her and she almost died HDfailure

hoary cape
#

I wonder if that's the case for all the gods though

eager bluff
#

well actually it depends

high lynx
#

most dragons arent weaker than people because they are dragons

manic coral
#

normal pre-provi provi, no

spare pier
#

Providence now is obviously stronger

light linden
#

been wondering what would happen if someone stronger than a dragon consumed its soul improperly

eager bluff
#

if its post or pre ascension the matchup changes quite a lot

high lynx
#

its addative

#

1+100=101

light linden
#

makes sense

hoary cape
#

Provi and slime god both got the short straws when it came to how their deity forms ended up lol

#

They did not get humanoid forms at all

manic coral
#

i mean a god can definitly be weaker than thedragon who's soul they absorbed

hoary cape
#

At least provi is cool looking

eager bluff
high lynx
#

well provi doesnt have legs but i mean she does have a face

eager bluff
#

very vaguely

#

but she is humanoid

spare pier
#

I actually think Ascension's powerboost is a more complex formula but I prefer to not give exact numbers

hoary cape
#

That is not humanoid

spare pier
#

I don't think it's just

#

Dragon + Human

hoary cape
#

It's a rock butterfly there is nothing humanoid about that

high lynx
#

you've never looked closely at provi

hoary cape
#

I have

#

Not everything with a face is humanoid

#

Smh

spare pier
#

Providence isn't humanoid she just has vaguely human features

#

The body shape somewhat looks like a limbless human and she has a face

high lynx
#

yeah im looking at it rn

dusk laurel
#

Providence invested into the wing economy

high lynx
#

and her wings are just fire

eager bluff
spare pier
#

I don't think I mentioned before but like

hoary cape
#

Provi invested into solar wings

#

She clearly farmed the pillars

high lynx
#

elysian wings

spare pier
#

Yeah people don't get to choose how they look like after ascending

eager bluff
#

kid named [[Elysian Wings]]

pliant islandBOT
spare pier
#

But it's not just

hoary cape
#

But that's because he can shape shift lol

high lynx
#

how come silva is just a lady

eager bluff
#

xeroc is a special case

spare pier
#

Consume Soul > Slowly metamorph into whatever the fuck

high lynx
#

or is the concept art pre ascencion

spare pier
high lynx
#

oh

spare pier
#

But in her case it's a lot more direct

eager bluff
#

plant

spare pier
#

Xeroc can do some light bullshit

high lynx
#

can she turn into a deer

spare pier
#

She can legit just shapeshift

high lynx
#

can she turn into nokotan

spare pier
#

Which I think is a given considering she is, y'know

eager bluff
#

she can turn into a deer shaped tree probably

spare pier
#

The motherfucking Elemental of Nature hdflr

hoary cape
#

Is ravanger still being a gentle giant pre death a thing

#

Lol

eager bluff
#

from what i remember yeah

hoary cape
#

Lol he didn't deserve to die

spare pier
#

God of Sacrifice's personality in general is still up to debate

#

I have a general idea of how I think he was but I prefer to not disclose too much

high lynx
#

ooh i had no clue which god it was

#

add a new draconic domain to the list boys

eager bluff
spare pier
#

Tho it is a general agreement that

#

He wasn't a dick

hoary cape
#

Is ravanger staying as ravanger for the name or is it getting it's god name lol (unless that is it's god name)

high lynx
#

i havent read the ravager bestiary

eager bluff
#

god of sacrifice absorbed dragon of death

high lynx
#

well ravager is a fricked up version

spare pier
#

Yeah, it is

#

The only Boss I plan to rename is Old Duke

eager bluff
#

it isnt the god of sacrifices that ship has long sailed

hoary cape
#

Will we know it's original name though

spare pier
#

Probably

high lynx
#

ravager is the result of dark magic

eager bluff
#

yes it is necromancy

spare pier
#

But we have yet to choose a name for the guy

high lynx
#

is the ravager magic the same as the scal magic

eager bluff
#

no

high lynx
#

why not

hoary cape
#

I wonder if those random warlocks were the ones who revived it

eager bluff
#

scal uses necromancy but she is primarily brimstone
ravager got necromanced

high lynx
#

they are both necromancy from some version of love iirc

hoary cape
#

Scal wasn't very good at necromancy

#

It worked but not as well

dusk laurel
#

Necromancy is already imperfect

high lynx
#

so the spell that brought back ravager could be the same class of magic as the ones that brought back cataclism and catastrphy

spare pier
#

I know it's really funny how I got into Cal and just

eager bluff
#

when using magic that isnt brimstone from what i remember scal is very brute force with it

spare pier
#

Officially implemented a lot of the shit I wrote on the Lore Doc when I held it

eager bluff
hoary cape
#

Scal tried to bring her brothers back which isn't going to work. Ravager is just a reanimated corpse with nothing from its previous life outside of the body

#

It's different

high lynx
#

But both necromancy

#

So same magic concept

#

But not the same result

gritty kraken
high lynx
#

Like how provi fire is not the same as brimstone fire

#

Its still fire

hoary cape
#

It's the difference between raising the dead and trying to actually revive someone

#

Necromancy

#

Could be those random warlocks in the dungeon and crags

#

Maybe they did it

high lynx
#

Well ravager was dead iirc

hoary cape
#

How did scal's brothers even die in the new lore

high lynx
#

I think one was an assassin?

gritty kraken
#

Scal nuke I think

high lynx
#

And both tried to protect her and keep her away from killing and stuff

eager bluff
#

from what i remember it isnt elaborated on

#

more of how they were when they were alive

high lynx
#

Yeah

spring helm
#

Fusion dance should be added to calamity

real silo
#

What if the ritual is just a breakdance competition and the winner gets to decide to ascend or not

#

Surely xeroc had some mad breakdancing skills compared to old man zeratros

spare pier
#

Xeroc, I'm dying, stop beatboxing

spring helm
#

"[Xeroc], my loyal monk, my end is near. Take my soul, else its power disappear forever. I shall teach you the moves to do so."

"You mean like the moves to a ritual?"

"No, hold on let me get my speaker"

Pass him the aux cord

#

Xeroc your mixtape is ass

spring helm
#

they ripped off Moon Lord's legs, he can't breakdance anymore calsad

#

The real reason fovos was so strong was because his many tentacle legs allowed him to pull off insane shit

#

Dragons had no chance

xeroc would be pissed if he saw this convo

#

Would it be correct to asume that the way you mutate after ascencion depends on how hard you fuck up the ritual

legs are the symbol of strength ahh

Is there an easy to way to get into the lore? it sounds interesting but i am not sure on where to start

cloud ibex
#

google doc in the pins has everything in-game at the moment i think

#

but the gist of it is r/atheism moderator and dragon fanboy gets mad at all gods because he didn't like being told what to do and Literally The Most Biased Dragon In Existence Ever told him "all gods suck ass and should die"

#

shenanigans (genocide and various war crimes) ensue

17/12/2024 the omni chud copypasta incident

it's not an incident it's just like why

not skibidi

pliant ruin

an event or occurrence.

by all means this is an incident

it is an event, or perhaps an occurence

cloud ibex

i mean yeah but calling it an incident implies to me that it's particularly noteworthy

The lorous lore discussion:

I really hope god of sacrifices is somehow just straight up a good guy

It'd be really cool

cosmic zenith
pliant ruin
#

LMAO

#

xeroc drop some bars...

shrewd yoke
#

i dont know much about that character, but from the name alone i think a character who sounds like VERY much the evil god being instead just a chill guy would be really cool actually

pliant ruin
#

Yeah exactly

#

The main thing is that "sacrifice" isn't necessarily a bad thing

cosmic zenith
pliant ruin
#

It dosen't mean "human sacrifice" necessarily

shrewd yoke
#

i have a soft spot for Hades like gods, they rule over a very ¨taboo¨ domain but ultimately its just misunderstood and they are genuinely not that bad

untold oracle
pliant ruin
#

Mayhaps GoS offered help, counceling, etc. with problems people had if they paid a small price in the form of a "sacrifice" which would be higher depending on what help they wanted, and it didn't necessarily have to be the sacrifice of living beings, it could also include giving up valuable objects or other possessions
also i imagine GoS would make sure that the "client" was sure that they wanted to go ahead with said sacrifice, making sure they understand the consequences and what the help they will get entails, rather than being the usual "trickster" god that would trick people in unfair/unjust deals for their own benefit

cloud ibex
#

signus is what you'd assume GoS actually is

#

is what i'm getting from this

pliant ruin
#

yeah basically theyre two sides of the same coin

#

one is actually fair and has their client's wellbeing in mind

#

the other one uh

#

faustian bargain moment

cloud ibex
#

your interpretation makes me imagine GoS and their followers being pretty ascetic and selfless

funny bag man,,

real silo
#

Rebe said ravager is just the corpse but not the gos himself

#

Which makes me think that someone put some other soul into it

#

for necromancy

untold oracle
#

I think Ravager is just the fusion of GoS, GoB, and the cultists that performed the ritual

real silo
#

And since god of blood exists my theory is some kind of auric soul was put into gos' corpse

#

Which reanimated it into becoming ravager

pliant ruin
#

ravager having two auric souls is crazy

real silo
#

idk where else you'd put god of blood

#

I love white hair

#

I mean what

primal bluff
#

Bloodbank

pliant ruin
#

i mean yeah there isnt really anywhere to put god of blood in

#

and its canonically a god that Exists so

real silo
#

yeah

#

Also could explain how it got so strong

real silo
#

Even though I have no doubt that GoS could well be stronger than provi when he was alive

pliant ruin
#

faut 👍

glacial rampart
#

no

#

thats not faust

real silo
#

faust

#

from lame sus company

untold oracle
#

I imagine GoS and GoB were friends before and after ascension and ruled as co-monarchs/gods/whatever, kind of representing balance between conservation and sacrifice

pliant ruin
#

yuh huh

shrewd yoke
#

Faust knows all lore

pliant ruin
#

faut 👍

pliant ruin
pliant ruin
#

Unless a divine soul was put inside of ravager rather than a auric one

real silo
#

Do we know if divine souls even exist

#

afaik all god souls just degenerate into essence

pliant ruin
#

yeah thats the thing

untold oracle
#

Aren’t gods’ souls kinda merged to their essence

pliant ruin
#

divine souls do exist but when a god dies they just sorta

#

💥

#

so it mustve been an auric soul

#

in other words

#

god of blood wasn't a thing prior to ravager

#

which

#

therefore

#

implies ravager is the god of blood

dusk laurel
real silo
#

maybe god of blood is a result of the residual soul of sacrifice/death/whatever

#

Mixed with the auric soul that becomes blood

lowkey obsessed with a GoS pet that does your taxes (he takes a cut though)

a big issue is that a lot of people dont read the bestiary and just take yharim's words as full fact

untold oracle
#

Yeah

#

Although there’s only a few occasions where Yharim is exposed

#

I think the issue arises when most of the fan base hear that Yharims whispers are called "lore items" making them mistakenly believe they are written by an unbiased author

they think its the lore in its entirety, and not a part of the lore in the form of a lying bozo

And even then for example if I’m not paying attention enough I could read Cryogen’s entry and not be bothered by it

#

Unless I start to analyze the lore item and the bestiary entry

Which I doubt not that many people do

Minishark is the strongest thing he can offer you

Which is a weapon that can deal with King Slime and EoC

Yeah

The strongest weapon that is "easily" accessible to people who want to fuck around and kill monsters is a Minishark

and kill what...

dusk laurel
cloud ibex
#

speaking of the arms dealer i did have an idea for an explanation of why he gets a bigger inventory as the game progresses

spare pier
cloud ibex
#

(could probably work for other npcs just the example i thought of was the arms dealer)

wheat walrus
spare pier
#

The average dude wouldn't have 35 gold laying around they could just spend on a gun

#

And then you'd need a shit ton of ammo

cloud ibex
#

the thought was that the arms dealer isn't from the Heartlands, he came here because he didn't want to get tracked by the authorities or whatever

spare pier
#

And also, IT'S PROBABLY ILLEGAL hdflr

wheat walrus
split mortar
pliant ruin
#

i think - yeah

cloud ibex
#

but since the Heartlands are dangerous, travelling there is expensive

pliant ruin
#

i was about to say

#

i think its implied arms dealer's stuff is probably illegal

cloud ibex
#

so he ended up having to sell most of his inventory to afford the trip

split mortar
pliant ruin
#

illegal gun parts are extra illegal, truly

wheat walrus
#

why is arms dealer dealing arms man

cloud ibex
#

and then as you progress the game you buy wares from him so he can afford to get more expensive wares to sell you

split mortar
wheat walrus
split mortar
#

Yes

wheat walrus
#

cant even do what he's named

spare pier
#

But like, yeah the strongest weapon someone could come across without directly endangering themselves is a Minishark, which is

1 - Expensive
2 - Probably illegal
3 - Needs extra money on ammo

And then they'd still need all of the extra gear to have a chance of killing

@spare pier you mentioned once that auric rejection is a buildup of charge released all at once. Does that mean that someone who wasn't attuned yet strong enough to tank it (like say, Braelor) holding on to a bar of auric would see the metal rhythmically discharge?

I have no idea what that means

if you held on to auric

would it continually reject you

My favourite kind of ability is just one general ability manifested in tons of different ways

like heat manipulation being able to control fire, ice and wind

You can do that with ice powers too

There are at least 5 ways you can make ice powers alone

Stuff like zeratros's domain too

Or reverse cursed technique being able to heal yourself or completely invert your normal technique effect

#

Shit like that is so cool

It's basically fire force's whole thing

#

Everyone has powers relating to fire but they're still unique abilities

hushed geyser
#

Fire ability but it's just the ability to make molecules move really fast

real silo
#

Like the guy who burns his own arm and uses his smoke to make weapons
Or the guy who absorbs kinetic energy from punches and turns it into explosions
Or the guy who uses plasma to make lightsabers
Or the guy who straight up fuckin stops time

It's so peam

#

Even the guys with less creative abilities have super cool moves
