Yeah prolly
the what
I heard there was a frost dragon that was related to the fishrons
well i sure ain't and everything that goes into the lore pretty much has to go past me first so
I think that’s just a concept so far
if the tundra is unnatural and not made by permafrost it's probably caused by a dragon or god right
iirc it was triangle wanting to repurpose the mega mammoth dragon
Hey how about other continents? Since he’s old he must’ve been in quite a few places
ice claspers were a big cuase of it's spread
as old duke's ancestor
I imagine he'll have dialogue related to cryonic's creation right?
why is it any time i hear of people saying some random shit about lore i've never heard of it's always involving something triangle said some time.
this has happened interally in the dev team for but i guess now it's happening externally and he's just talking about some stuff that's essentially just his ideas he assumes are going to be canon without checking with most writers first and jsut going on ahead and talking abotu it publically without proper confirmation.
i don't like having to say this, espeically since i am on pretty good terms with the dude and that is one my annoyance with him, but please take anything Triangle says about the lore with a grain of salt.
thats fair, you should probably talk bout it with him
ice claspers might have been created by a dragon or god
bcuz i feel like specifically mentioning how the tundra was created would be disconnected from everything else otherwise
personally, my stance on the idea is that it does sound neat but i'd prefer the tundra not be related not any dragon or god
oh
i feel like we're kinda capped at the amount of stuff that can be related to dragons
without it feeling like too much
and as for a god, maybe, but like
One thing I’m curious about is what are the copper to platinum coins? Are they like some universal currency or?
people already complain that the lore is all about dragons, we dont have to make it worse
sorry if I'm repeating questions btw, my memory is really really bad
which it's not, but with all that's publically out
it's a train of thought i don't really BLAME people for having
espeically with SSO taking so long resulting in no actual lore drops recently
because so much stuff relies on it
why can't we forge platinum bars into platinum coins, are we stupid
anywyas to answer other questions
yes, he's been to three of the other four
how big is the planet of terraria
big enough to have five continents
though the heartlands (the nickname for where the game takes place) is one of the two smaller ones
and then there's three bigger ones
did anything important (to the crusade ig, we know little about anything before) happen on the other continents
Do states trade via money or by other means?
Oh this is all good to know
if nothing happened, there wouldn't be any point of mentioning them in the story
is there a lore reason why we're stuck on one continent
not nessesarily stuck there, but also, it's kind of a hard place to get to in the first place. becuase you'd have to find somebody willing to take you there.
no one wants to go there because it's the continent most fucked by the crusade?
and seeing as the recent collapse of the crusade happened and where the game takes place being kind of a hellhole even compared to everywhere else right now
ah
you wont exactly find anybody too eager to take you or bring you back
just build a line of dirt between continents to keep track 
there's only one place in the world that's more fucked up than the heartlands
ok maybe two
but the second is debatable
what about the underworld
can't we go through there
then dig up under another continent
yeah, you could theoretically treavel between continents that way
and people have
but it's not exactly safe and it's very slow
lead the wof to the other fucked up place to make sure the heartlands stays in second place
it is in 2nd place still anyways, probably
as said
pre-HM, one or two palces more fucked up than it
WoF, only really 1
debatably
hmm
What makes that place so awful? Is it just crusade
doesnt help that one of the shores is fishron territory and the other is literally acidic
nop, not even the crusade proper went there
Crazy
endgame terrarian can kill one in a second so
exactly details are thing si'm sitll debating but like
it's moreos a matter of
wait
wouldn't draedon know a lot about other continents
why not ask him
endgame terrarian just doesnt really have any reason to go to the other continents anyway
you can't really take an army through lava flood plains or mountains that only two people at most can go across MAYBE some sorta path you can find
they want lore
literally everything they could need is in reach of the heartlands at the very least

Is that some underworld on surface 
Uhh you can make one
Maybe they were brainwashed by Yharim to continue the crusade
Maybe they are curious
Maybe they want to fix the world and help the other continents too
also i want to see what draedon can find out about yharon soul fragments
there's no way he isn't stealing some from us for research
the mountains are cold as shit. what isn't mountaisn as hot as shit. hardly any plants grow so no food form them. only source of meat is the occasional very fucked up monster with perhaps some edible meat.
so uh
Since people can handle being right next to surface of the sun hot magma how fucking hellish is that place…
not a great palce to practically take an army
Assuming endgame Terrarian has a reason to, but even then, people being at the endgame Terrarian's strength is not a common sight
oh no the lava isnt that hot
there is an in-universe expalination but im not sharing
it's unironically important
I’m talking about magma at the crags
talking about the terrarian going there
we don't necessarily need anyone else
people at end of pre-hm levels of strength are very uncommon

fishrons are basically the apex of sea monsters more or less
waaaaa
which bosses can only be found in the heartlands
which yeah talking about shit more freely since
hello
chriastmas
Old man
im sick
might as well
indeed
"Though a variety of answers are given when one asks adventurers about dangerous creatures, few aside from sailors will mention the small yet mighty Mantis Shrimp. Their strikes are so swift that the energy generated from them heats the water to temperatures rivaling the magma of Azafure."
From mantis shrimp bestiary
Thought this alluded to the magma being surface of sun hot
that's crazy i thought he was like 200
Haha I had a theory we’ll get bigger lore drops as a gift
no jsut as hot as the magma of azafure
i mean
ok i will be a little lenient with what i talk about again
it's not like the sun and thus primordial light is like, THAT hot. like, hot, yeah, but not THAT hot.
yeha it'll burn you if you touch it but it wont instantly kill you
it's less magma and moreos a collection of energy
that orbits arounds the planet
Holy shit geocentric theory
yeah, there are other planets out there, but they don't really have something like that
Calamity cosmology is lot different to irl so not surprised
it is essentially a big ball of energy rotating around the world
I wonder if permafrost can control a small bit of primordial light
nah
primordial light is specifically the sun's light, not all light
it is an important distinction
is primordial light directly related to the world soul
light just gives visibility. primordial light does a lot more.
I k is its silly and special
Hence why I wondered since if any mortal guy was to be able to it would be permafrost
Does this mean regular light can also be a domain
both this and it rotating around the planet are things i want to be clear in SSO
since both of these are very imporant distinctions from out own sun irl
Does Terraria have multiple moons btw considering how there are multiple of them in the night sky
That can be
that you sorta need to understand to grasp things like why the surface world was so different during the draconic era
and people's speculation on stuff from before even that and some theories on how life in the world came about
or where said giant fucking ball of energy in the sky came from

Obviously it came from Xeroc
He travelled back in time and gave the planet the sun
Thus creating a bootstrap paradox
The sun was Zeratros' arts and crafts project, Xeroc just limited how much food it got
the real xeroc was the friends we made along the way
Xerox vs the power of friendship when
Fuck
Xeroc
Not Xerox
Why has autocorrect happened
Cei who is Xerox
xanax
cei can I ask a question?
sup
I imagine the godseeker knights used the magic guns that draedon designed but were there any that also used more traditional types of magic?
What’s the lore reason for enemies dropping literally money
I'm surprised you weren't aware of it, though yes, it hasn't reached a point where we are settling on it and to my knowledge it's always been shared under that disclaimer ("it's just an idea")
big pockets
Yeah, that's something we've been quite wary of recently
Like is it canon or just gameplay
We won’t go offtopic at least :)
just gameplay
Oh
Alr taking into consideration what is said
Melon Gun points out the Mantis Shrimp entry that compares its fists to Azafurian Magma
Mantis Shrimp fist temperature (irl it's 4800C) is often times compared to the sun's surface temperature (irl it's 5500C)
Cei points out that the sun in Calamity isn't as hot as Azafurian Magma and the Calamity Mantis Shrimp fist
This is either:
A: Mantis Shrimp, due to being bigger in Calamity, creates even greater temperatures, therefore making the comparison of temperature between irl sun and primordial sun still valid to an extent
B: sun in Calamity shrimply isn't as hot as real life sun, and the mantis shrimp's fist temperature is unchanged
Imo, latter seems more likely
Still sucks 😭
fair enough ig
But regardless of the answer, I'm kinda interested
anyways the popular vote was to hear permafrsot talk about magic so im currently writing that and will share when done
Possible matherial...
Nice nice
Yummers
Oh yeah true
I just read it as me not conveying myself properly but yeah either interpretation can lead to cool ideas
We'll bring it up to you next time though, sorry!
yeah jsut espeically since
i'm writing permafrost rn

slightly important information for me to know if there's any proper tundra lore in-debate or decided
god this dialogue tree is gonan be monsterous
Good luck
-# that’s a good thing is it not, or is it a pain to write
Yeah good luck
lmao
will probably grant them mercy and jsut give them my dialogue flowcharts im making
you're giving the wiki people a headache for christmas
Present!!! 
also cei
all i want for christmas, is a 30 page wiki article
is the permafrost stuff gonna be in SSO or a later update?
I think sso but idk if p1 or p2
tundra overhaul
also fun fact
Is that an actual update coming up
No
Dunked sea.
I hate autocorrect
Lmao
thunder really said "fun fact" and then didnt say the fun fact
Tbf Calamitas did dunk on illmeris and their top guys
GIVE THE FACT
my dog snowball really hates pictures of yharim and permafrost
pog
almsot for sure
Peak
givne the rate at which it's getting done
Why permafrost :(
he growls and barks at them
i at least want perma and cal dialogue to be finished for SSO
in terms of npc dialogue
ironic considering his name is snowball
Yooo cal too
Does it include the boss fight?
not me
yes, cal fight dialogue has been like 80% done for about half a year none of us have felt like finishign it though

I will say, I was not aware the Frost Dragon had anything to do with the Snow biome existing, afaik we would have the Frost Dragon's skeleton there and special Pigrons surrounding it
so who's the quirked up white boy busting it down (sexual style) in Yharim's group
yeah i'd prefer if it had nothing to do with the tundra existing
Permafrost
Same
but it jsut being there i'd be chill with (pun intended 100%)

the dog in question btw
I do agree the Tundra should not be caused by the dragons
i better see some mr freeze quotes in the perma dialogue
Permafrost is the quirked up white boy busting it down
tundra style
everytime somebody says tundra witha capital T i do a double take
Calamitas dialogue is also tough to write, in the sense that it's something we have to get very right
name
Should it be lowercase?
(It was Lightning Hazard before because exam week)
VERTARAYL IS THE GRINCHCH?!?
Grinchch
cei can I ask another lore question?
which given cal nopc dialiogue for me is fine enough to do but fight dialogue is
hard
sure
is astral ore outside of the meteor supposed to be basically mana corrupted ore?
i thought it was super concentrated astral blight
Astral also turns normal ore into astral ore
This reminds me of a case I saw earlier on Twitter where a police officer dressed up as the Grinch to aprehend a suspect
That’s uh
Giving a certain vibe and I think it’s irony
if so it makes me wonder if you could make a metal more magically attuned by just leaving it near astral material
correcto
all i'll say on it
what do you mean by magically attuned
I think they just mean magically capable
kinda like how magnets can be made stronger by cooling them
was that idea really that bad?
the boreal Tundra...
imagine if the Tundra was formed by Velkhana Monster Hunter...
more like i got nothing to add
anyways this assumes that you will only be ignored when you say a bad idea on the internet... wrong expelled from sigma school of internet

No people just didn’t have stuff to add and chat died
I think the idea can make sense just idk what else to say
Ye
Calamitas vs Astral Meteor
Who would win?
Nomon
Who the hell is astral meteor???

Wouldn’t be surprised if scals jaw bone has more mana then the astral star
calamitas' nose and/or ear cartilage individually >
A single tooth >
degenerate tail bone >
the dentist who removed calamitas' wisdom teeth crushed them up and snorted it to increase their max mana
The concentrated power of a brimstone nuke:
now im getting the idea for a terrarian who's a not so friendly but also still technically sane scientist who cant resist the urge to experiment with the new things the world has every time a boss falls, he would be sane enough to ask calamitas for a blood sample to study because trying to surprise stab her with a needle would result in an extremely painful death
V1:
if he tried to get the blood sample by force he would end up like Wily Coyote after a dynamite explodes on his face before crumbling to dust
this reminds me
we know if lycanthropy and/or vampirism are canon?
the zoologist and werewolves in question
that doesn't make them canon
Zoologist proves werefoxes are canon
has the zoologist been said to be canon?
nothing says she isnt
Don’t see why she wouldn’t be
why wouldnt she be
npcs have unique lore-friendly dialogue for calamity so theyre canon
except cirrus for obvious reasons
Only thing I can think vanilla contradicts is that she writes the bestiary I think but that’s easy to just say isn’t the case
I heard there’s plans to possibly make her canon
Maybe misremembered this convo a bit wrong but eh here’s what I am talking about
Maybe go a bit up might be more context idk
Correct
Oh lmao
Cirrus will be canon, but she basically exists
So no, she won't be Yharim's ex out for revenge or something like that
laaame ||/j||
she's actually dog's ex
Space gold
cocoa
Actually she is dogs mother and true leader of the distortion since she can spawn dog and signus and signus is equal to Noxus in hierarchy
extractclam
True
Ok yeah we definitely need more side stories so I'm cool with that
calamity slice of life manga of Bandit pulling shenanigans in town while the Terrarian is away
If signus is equal to noxus in hierarchy is signus still staying before dog in progression lol
I know that hierarchy doesn't mean it's necessarily stronger, but still
Yes
i suppose it's like Permafrost and Calamitas in Yharim's army
one is way higher rank and much more intelligent
but the other is a walking nuclear bomb
That is why I stated that I know hierarchy doesn't affect power level lol
I vibe with that
Right after asking XD
what's the question then
It's already been answered
Question
How was brimstone crags before it became ashes
And please inform me if it exists more stuff about brimstone crags in lore docs
Brimstone Crags
Brimstone crags is the outer parts of azafure iirc
It's the whole biome methinks
Atleast the current part is going to be
Deeper parts may exist after the rework
So it was always the brimstone crags just the buildings that was ruined
I know about that
And do we know if the society was like good or not?
Crags was there before the buildings I think
Also melon gun I’m writing fanfic about brimstone crag
Mhmm….
They sided with yharim
Though they were ruled by not so great gods before yharim popped up iirc so it’s not too great a sign since he was likely a legit actual improvement morally
Thanks a lot guys
Don’t fear asking for help if you get stuck on something or want input
I won’t dw
Should I make it in like scals perspective, brimmys perspective or the players perspective
Or another dude
Like draedon or yharim
Scals would be from a poor persons view
Brimmy would prob not be much since elementals are generally not sapient
Draedons would be of a scientific view and maybe interest in the social ness of the people idk
Yharim would be the closest thing to their leader
Think it’s up to you but these are where the perspectives would be if you were to pick one imo
Draedon would give a more direct and accurate report
Yeah true
We don’t really know how yharim acts so that’s probably harder to write
So draedon or scal
Right then
If you don’t know who to pick maybe coin toss idk
Yeah that’s fine
I more want to study draedon a lack of personality and how they act
Calclone still goes insane from scals magic right?
Ye
Suevite is a rock primarily composed of melted material so it’s probably the melted remains of the city charged by brimstone mana from the clash between scal and brimm
Thank you
A once thriving city ruled under the tyrant, burnt to ashes after the fight of the witch and the brimstone elemental.
In hopes of better understanding the magic of the witch, we have tried to trace the magic of the witch, in hopes of making a controllable clone, no mind to think, no mind to break.
The fragments of the city and the magic of the witch’s and elementals flame has condensed into a material, which is called infernal suevite.
We have tried using this to replicate the witch, a secondary clone, but it was only half of the coin, not pure enough.
Uhhh this
Idk if I should add more
seems pretty good so far I like it
Idk if it would effect the fanfic or not but cal clone was made after draedon got kicked out of you didn’t know
Yes I do know that
Draedon is doing this for the lols
That do be why he does stuff
True it does seem like it would continue for a bit
Sadly I’m in a similiar boat of not writing much but hopefully others can help when they awaken if you want to continue it by then
Yeah
I might try writing about the aftermath
"A lava slime that has absorbed pieces of the charred stone left behind by the Brimstone Elemental." -Extract from Infernal Congealement's Bestiary Entry
y'all think calamitas ever tried to make something akin to cryonic but with her brimstone magic?
Thank you
Cryogen
Ashes of annihilation could be that idk
Yes cryogen is ice
as in she tried to make her own magic metal
Idk about cryonic lore
Cryonic ore is not just ice smh
cryonic is magic metal made by permafrost
She doesn’t use any armor so her need of it would probably make it so she doesn’t try
I gotta read lore docs man
At least of what I know of
Was this said anywhere
She’s a mage as well
Perma can make it, but I don't think it's known if he invented it
I'm pretty sure it's not only common knowledge but it's said I think 8 times
most direct example is the tundra log
No I mean mechs has soul, Exo mechs doesn’t
as cei said in reference to the Xbox uno meme “you have a soul, it comes free with your fucking life”
And calclone is in the middle of it
Or some other lore writer
she just flies around in a mechanical eye
She is a completely organic being
Mechs are souls put in mech body
Exos are pure machine
YOU HAVE UNO, IT COMES WITH THE XBOX
👍
Oh
I DONT HAVE UNO
as far as im aware she just looks like calamitas
for context
The eye sprite is outdated
think like uhh
Yes I do know that
"As described earlier, Cryonic Ore was developed by the Archmage, Permafrost." Page 3 of the Tundra log
I just read it smh, that's why i did the thumbs up
sorry im bankrupt rn i just watched sonic 3 and got back in my sonic autism phase
I haven’t had one of those
probably
i liked the first two movies so i guess i will
My brother have had one and he was cool during it
If I ever start playing omori just know y’all ain’t seeing me for atleast 2 weeks
actually yeah if you liked the first two youre gonna love the third one
its even better
Cuz of you getting an addiction or weeping
Reminds me that I haven't watched the second one yet.
A once thriving city ruled under the tyrant, burnt to ashes after the fight of the witch and the brimstone elemental.
In hopes of better understanding the magic of the witch, we have tried to trace the magic of the witch, in hopes of making a controllable clone, no mind to think, no mind to break.
The fragments of the city and the magic of the witch’s and elementals flame has condensed into a material, which is called infernal suevite.
We have tried using this to replicate the witch, a secondary clone, but it was only half of the coin, not pure enough.
Hence the aftermath of this was yet another failed clone, but this without a soul, this was controllable.
Unfortunate it exploded
Made ending now
Not good one
But I made an ending
That is certainly an ending.
Hell yeah
no voice to cry silksong
💥
When I first watched a playthrough 2 years ago I was basically not contactable digitally due to omori obsession
Yes that was an hollow knight reference
For 2 weeks
same
I had that halfway just for longer time
Like I was contactable but only whilst sleeping for two to three hours
So basically never
Should I write something more
Maybe like scal and brimmy fight aftermath from the point of scal
what is omori?
A game
a game that makes you fear stairs
And water
And what was it
Spiders?
Thunder, just a question, do you have access to like a web browser
no i stole their pc
Yes.
yes but if I open it while playing warframe my pc gets VERY upset
and lags badly
me playing warframe or my pc lagging to all hell and back?
No not that
RPG horror game I suggest you play blind
Should I draw my version of the player or write some more stuff
writing permafrost dialogue and currently getting derailed by thinking of actual names for other udnerworld cities that exist out there
New Azafure 
I have a question, if you don't mind me asking.
what's up
unlike some people in real life, im more creative than that

i'm thinking Kreviza sounds likea good one
Having more cities in the Underworld other than Azafure get mentioned is nice
Makes it feel less empty
Was the Underworld seen as a second surface to many people? Its open and flat nature seems like it would be good for travel, and it being the same plane as the largest city seems extremely useful.
exactly
it's basically the msot open place that isnt the surface
like sure some cities were just underground and not in the udnerworld or surface
like most of the crystal city
but that required a lot of space
Hell yeah new lore directly after I wrote about azafure
that was unusual to come by
this stems from him mentioining pyromancy and then i though like
you know
where DID that orginate
Could ”normal” life exist near the poles (during winter) during the Draconic-age
now the ideas of it being colder near the poles is sstill something i'm not entirely sure is the case yet
still thinking on that one
cei can I ask another question please?
whats up
Oh yeah I also got a question
could azafure have had books in it?
I assumed paper would burn too easily there
Stone paper
going into some npc dialouge for SSO stuff here but cal literally tried to steal books from a member of the dragon cult one time
Or ash wood paper
so why would paper
fair point
Classic
New mod idea: If you go into the Underworld, you start burning. You can't stop this.
Need to see one of those “What if Calamitas was charged for her crimes?”
Fargos souls add that iirc
I mean
One Fargo second in prison
Key distinction: You can't stop this.
Nah i’d win
I was thinking about making that for own of my own projects but it only lasts until you kill a certain boss
like, yeah. it's hot down there, but not THAT hot.
Consumes your primordial form
Reb mentioned about a status effect in the Crags Overhaul where your wings just won't work in the Brimstone Crags
Giant pools of molten rock casually existing everywhere:
constant sweating debuff that makes all fire damage 2.5x

Hell yeah that seems so cool
are you sweating oil or something
problably
i mean
Of course!
Terraria is Italian confirmed?!
Don’t you eat gasoline?
No. If they were sweating oil, that would only hurt the player for an additional 25 per second.
i was suggested gas cubes by merkalto so maybe later
oh true
So it’s obviously diesel
add diesel to calamity to make heat debuffs even more cracked
good idea!
that's a thing iirc
or something like it
0-0
Blob
Nah you see
Diesel in calamity is just really moldy and conductive and capable of causing endothermic reactions
Therefore it boosts all debuffs
Trust me is my proof
"source?"
"it was revealed to me in a dream"
Elite-tier strategy
The only trustable source
Would you all like to learn a universal truth?
Yes
I did infact hear something lore related in a dream once
But due to being like a month ago I forgor
You are stpuid
bug
my dreams also often include random calamity bc im brainrotted
my neurons are popping like corn kernels
When you are dreaming, you are tapping into the various multiverses, and are able to view what are happening in them. You could be having a better life, acting as a hero in another world, but instead you are stuck in this dystopian hellhole.
Have fun!
Lucid dreamers…
evil gun
Brilliant
Damn so when you lucid dream you are temporarily God
im going to create the universe-switching device if its the last thing i do
but what if im dreaming about me taking my phone to the phone bomb defusing store and everybody exploded because the waiting line was too long
Shrimple
You died
Then that means there was a universe of you, with a phone, going to the phone bomb defusing store, and failing to defuse it, because the line in the store was too long.
What if I dreamed about throwing bricks at you?
this means you should play rogue
I have
do it more its clearly your calling
Then that means there was a universe of you throwing bricks at someone you thought was me. Unfortunately, it cannot be truly me, since I am not part of your multiverse.
wtf happened to discord just then
i remember there was the other time i distinctly remember dreaming about a character (not me) saving a family member from going to a kindergarten playground leaded by a literal recolor of caine from digital circus like the doise from pizza tower who's just blue noise like that
no vabbe non ci posso credere, il terrariano è italiano! UNO DI NOI UNO DI NOI ALEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Right yeah forgot Omni was [the rest of this comment has been sued by Nintendo]
Marioversal
the heating of objects is dependant on how much energy travels through them and accumulates rather than just the temperature they are touched
there's a reason why despite 1500C being the melting point for most metals, it still takes hours to melt any remotely decent chunk with that exact temperature; azafurian magma is prolly silly special
i will say since im working on the asking permafrsot about magic thing
i am also going to point out that as is kinda shown in the game
ma vaffanguolo te e la tua nintendo
on a fundemental level, most magic works the same
Most
Necromancy and brimstone magic find their roots elsewhere
but that's more or less it
what about the element of surprise...
at the end of the day it's all just turning mana into other stuff
at least, to simplify it
As in how they are cast, or how they were first "created"? (Can't think of a better term)
I remeber this one time, I got bored of a dream so I just switched the dream. The got bored of the new one and switched back
I just had a flashback to Alatreon Monster Hunter doing that but with Dragon Element into other elements... I'm far beyond redemption
both
Interesting.
necromancy of course as is already known has roots in the rebirth of the auric dragons
and thus
Yharon
Being directly inspired by the idea
what exactly is mana? just some primordial force in terraria? Ik stars are made of it
Some sort of particle, most likely.
Permafrost is the one who can go into that a bit more
So it would be correct to asume that the 3 main forms of magic in Calamity are:
-Mana
-Elementals
-Domains
Wacky magic particle stuff
Probably anything beyond normal mana capabilities (like primordial light or sea prisms or god essence or auric and aerialite) are actually a different particle that people aren’t advanced enough yet
Though PL is prob a silly light particle wave thing instead of like the others being more normal matter particles idk
Mana creates stuff
Elementals have actual control over stuff
Auric Souls are more complicated
What the elementals do isn't really something i'd classify as magic
that'd be like classifying a plant growing from sunlight as magic
or a boulder falling as magic
at least, that's how i feel.
i find beast tamer igloo kinda interesting as the idea of someone who isnt just summoning stuff in to work with like summoners seems neat
i wonder what itd be like to try to work with terraria's creatures a lot
Earth, Fire, Air, Water... The Elementals are literally just immortal benders...
I mean magic is something that is magical. And I personally would say a giant fire lady shooting fire is pretty magical. But I do see your point.
yeha it is somethign that's debatable
Kinda is in calamity
The line between magic and science is understanding
Primordial light being magical or even more then that
something like the sahara during summer?
something closer to that ye
harsh conditions, but considering how on average people in cal's wrold or more durable and reistant than those in ours
definitly not unsurvivable
The mole people are the strongest people
Always
Once was Troverians from MH, now it's Terrarians (iirc)
tundra is not really related to it, also i did went through both rebbeca, stip, ozzatron and the dev server on the frost dragon thing
he is just a dragon with ice powers that died ages ago (it didnt make the tundra) and the pigrons are its descendants
that is it

just a little worldbuilding as to why pigron are ice biome creatures, and old duke having fur and stuff
and they all agreed to it
i send a lot of my stuff in the lore channel to discuss with the lore users before talking about it here, not really my fault you arent much active
(when its a ideia that just came to my head and is not canon/ im working or proposing it still i also make it very clear here)
but if you want, i can ping you when i propose a thing in dev server
i am sorry and think i got a bit heated
just
this HAS been a frusteration in the past
it feels like i jsut dont get told about things fairly often anymore and it makes working on this stuff not enjoyable when it happens and kills like all of my motivation
i mean, again if you want i can ping you for stuff
i do apologize
i just talked about the frost dragon here and considered it a real thing since all the other lore users and devs were fine with it
some also enjoyed the concept
i do too it's just
not being informed or told about important stuff like this is frusterating espeically when i do or make anything important i usually do a ping to all writers
i wouldnt really call the frost dragon thing very important, but make sense
but ye i can ping you for major stuff if you want 
i would appricate it

anywho i'm gonna go back to eating
No more chrimas :(
Imagine
???
No hat
wait so the sun orbits the planet right
does that mean it has no rotation along its axis?
Having two close moon sized objects orbit prob leads to wacky stuff
question
Yeah?
y'all think yharim being attuned to yharon gave him more magical ability than he had before?
i dont think so
i imagine it mostly buffed his lifespan considering Yharon's the dragon of rebirth
Ye
Yeah other then the auric touch I imagine lifespan may have been the biggest boost
Yes please!
You know what, charge Yharim for his crimes too.
Making the wings not work in the Crags doesn't really make any sense to me.
An unspeakable amount of life sentences on the charge of murder
Did anyone write a fanfic about Yharim's rise to power?
There's also the smaller things like conspiracy or smth
Having wings would make exploring the Crags way too easy
That's probably the main reason
good news i've mostly finished Permafrost talking about magic
jsut need to make sure there aren't typos and edit it a bit
can I ask a question about the dialogue system?
what's up
actually it'd prolly be better to ask this first, are you also programming it in?
probably not but like
it wouldn't need to be programmed it really
it already exists
this is a system base terraria already uses
i'm just taking more advantage of it
maybe I'm misunderstanding how it's going to work then
you alreayd have options when talking to NPCs
some of which like with the Guide's "Help" option
leads to more dialogue
it is literally a thing that already exists
or like
when asking the dryad how much world evil and hallow you have
it's just
that
I thought it was going to have a seperate ui
except you can go deeper in and have more options and it's mostly just more dialogue
i maybe, maybe the current dialogue system will need slightly modified
but
it is literallly a system abse terraria uses
it just does almost nothing with it
in the best case scenerio, even if i probably won't since i have other important shit to do, i COULD put in 90% of it myself because in theory it'd be mostly copy and pasting existing code
maybe I just need to try harder for what I'm currently working on then
some complications might pop up but
in theory
this should be pretty easy to impliment
Draetalk is way more complex than this is
in terms of implimentation
so it should be just fine
I tried to impliment something way simplier for one of my own projects and uh
it crashed my whole game the moment I clicked the option
Hmm
I need to read this tomorrow
Good night everyone
Goog night
alright this part is mostly done too
still wondering if calamitas ever tried to create her own version of cryonic
I guess she might've made infernal suevite, even if accidentally
alright should be good to share since i checked that all of this has agreed upon info in it
just gotta fix up some last typos
If Xeroc has a human face visible post ascension, can he have the symbol on one of his eyes (the center of it being around his eye socket)
Okay so previously I learned that Draedon is a robot, but who built him? Just curious incase anyone knows the answer.
we're given a character but not much else
just "there was someone dead near where I woke up"
Well, the dialogue that people wanted to see from Permafrost for Christmas the most was him talking about magic in general, so here's the closest thing to that.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Fxcx1CcR_GZO3rbbiE3aIuI_-M8uhOKcmPdTkJExuiM/edit?usp=sharing
This was revealed on Christmas via popular request after I asked if there was certain Archmage Permafrost dialogue people wished to see from the upcoming Town NPC dialogue rework for most Town NPCs in Calamity. Though this dialogue was made in a flowchart, for the purposes of sharing this, I have...
Why is it freaky 😭
funni
also for reference this makes up what will mayeb be at most
1/20th of his dialogue
i am commited to this
I like reading walls of text
Holy hell this guy is old
I knew he was old but I didn't expect him to be 4 centuries old

Draedalus

well suevite is a form of breccia (heterogeneous melted rock, usually formed cataclysmically)
i believe made from gneiss?
and granite
but also various chunks of glass
so presumably pockets of infernal suevite were created from the brimstone slag whenever one of calamitas’s particularly powerful fireballs impacted it
probably has a high sulfur content
this implies that the brimstone crags are made of basement rock
floating on the asthenosphere
given its location directly under a massive ocean trench (subduction zone) it makes sense that you would find this rock composition there
no wonder azafure was absolutely fucked, their iron must’ve been incredibly impure
a form of rbeecca ⁉️
Rock lore is quite interesting
will torch god have a calamity bestiary entry
Very interesting new lore!
So do we know what Perennial ore is?
It’s like concentrated Silva essence iirc
Okay and what is Silva essence? Lol
Wait Silva is the driad
Well… the dead driad in the abyss, so she’s like… dead but not dead right?
Kind of, but I suspect you're thinking of old lore
Everything was rewritten like 2 years ago
Oh what’s up with her now?
yeah happened after the writing team changed entirely, and we figured
"hey a lore rewrite was gonna happen anyways"
"might as well"
but aside from that intial one to make the story, like, actually about to be proper written about more
the general stance is "no more retcons or changes"
because every one of those starts making thigns exponentially more confusing
anyways i shall return to writing
Thanks for taking the time to clarify that
i'll let other people actually explain stuff since if i do too much, well
where's the fun in that if i just outright say stuff
Understandable
man i love sneaking in the names of boss themes while writing about said bosses
Silva is the Goddess of Life, who originally presumably was the elemental of nature, who then did a perfect ascension to become a god. When the Crusade happened, she was mauled by Yharim, and her remains were sent to the abyss. Why Yharim did that is because since she was an elemental and the goddess of Life, you can’t really kill her, so it was better to reimprison her in the abyss where she hopefully would be forgotten. (she was imprisoned there before too but we don’t know a lot) Right now, Silva is just planty mush and probably braindead, but it has been confirmed that she will regrow into her original form at some point.
Mmmmm okay
I have a question, after reading the new Draedon speech in his computer, I made the calculations and it turned out the resistance Yharim made was 94 years long? is it really that short or am I missing something?
What do you mean by resistance
The crusade lasted for a century
oh? really?
i did missed a ton after couple months later from the new lore, so I didn't knew that
roughly, yeah
almost a century
also i didnt realize how long perma talking about calamitas was until i finally zoomed out
fuckin
all of this
"Hmm... It is understandable that you wish to learn more about her, but I feel that to say too much without her express permission would not please her. She was rarely even inclined to share her interests, much less share things about herself. However, I shall tell you what I feel that you need to know."
Proceeds to talk about her for nearly 9 more paragraphs
meanwhile, draedon:
"She destroys things well."
can you tell that permafrost and calamitas' dynamic is the one i care the most about

also zooming in wont work, this zoomed out each letter is literally a single pixel-blur
maybe two
i made sure that if you zoom in all it looks like is this
lmao i thought it was my discord acting up
thanks a ton btw, good lore y'all cooking
nope i made it that way so that nobody can actually tell what i'm writing 
and ty :D
permafrost might actually end up as the person with the most dialogue in the game
dude might actually beat out Draedon
tho he was like a mentor for calamitas no? so it would make sense if he yaps a lot
ye and formerly an advisor to yharim
so yeah
he is connected to a lot of events and people
and is around to see things unfold for 2/3rd of the game
wonderful lore source he is then 
one of the things you can ask permafrsot about yharim
How strong is he?
which i feel like can be taken one of two main ways
- Being concerned by his strength
- Boy howdy, that Yharim guy sure sounds strong! I wanna fight him!
or a secret 3th option which determines his attractiveness /jk
Hey it’s me, Terrarian!
Is that all you've got, Yharim!?
The lore is so good, the friends I play Calamity with I also play TTRPGs so I’m gonna try creating a setting that we can run a campaign in. Been asking questions while trying to figure out what system to use. Is there any other Calamity specific lore for the Lizhards other than Golem’s lore drop?
there's the bohldohr enemy bestiary entry
Time to go look at that, but otherwise it’s just the normal Terraria entries?
For now…
Then that’s what I’ll work with
You know I thought the "she" here was referring to draedon for a second
"yea that's true that girl draeodn sure does know how to destroy stuff"
i forgot like half the lore of the game 😭
i only remember dog, yharon, polterghast and yharim
There’s a lore document in the pins of this channel
You can also ask if you have any questions 👍
oh sick
i am telling you the bees are an invasive species
draedon doesn't really hate
anything
extreme emotions get in the way of research
Skeletron prime
Wait does the planet rotate
The sun and moon orbit it so we don’t know
I think the planet has multiple moons considering the fact that there are multiple moon-like objects that can show up at night
Solar eclipse into blood moon
now that I think of it
Yharim, technically, wasn't even a ruling authority over the lands, was he?
He was more of a rebellion leader that focused on fighting gods for the few decades he is (in)famous for
I imagine the Yharmy as kinda similar to the Mongol empire, they just went to areas and killed the gods, only leaving very skeleton administration behind as they went. Besides, I imagine Permafrost was the one who managed the few outposts etc. they might have had
I think he has been described to be more like the mongols if we were to use irl examples
plus one topic to research on the matter, ty
imo terraria worlds are flat discs
its funnier
that way
The canvas is like already full how will the next few days go without any canvas increase
Nothing will happen
I assume ppl try to chip away empty parts of artworks
I’d love to contribute something more significant than a :3 face but not sure what
I managed to put my mascot there. Also stipude
I third stupid bug
Green
you just grab the empty and background space
you might not be getting french claims but you can build a lot
DoG vs Draedon but he built a mech based off DoG out of Cosmilite who would win?
Dog vs Thanatos
dog wins because itd be funnier
dog literally EATS GODS!!!
Slime god is a god
-# what do you mean he's only like a god trash compactor and doesn't actually kill them
Slime god created the trash compactors
-# what do you mean gods aren't omnipotent
Slime god is simply the bin man of gods
Providence the Profaned God
DoG literally devours gods, meaning he can nodiff Nameless Deity (Xeroc (omnipotent)) making him extraultramaxshitversal
Actually nameless deity has the imagery and thus power of multiple gods in irl religions and so scales to supremextrashitfuclyoumaxgokusolosversal
Dog has god slayer dash
This is a reference to how god slayer armor is misnamed and should be god devourer armor
do not lay the gods
like an egg
Do not the providence
Devourer of Armor
he does kill them tho
ok but aren't they like BASICALLY dead
its like getting sucked up by a vacuum cleaner
you're most likely definitely going to die as it happens
i can't send a random unrelated image that bwrely shows what imewn
dog dosent kill any of the named gods but he has killed other gods
bla bla bla his self imposed title isn't a lie or smth whatever lba bla
ok the eater of worlds does technically eat the world maybe
but only a very little bit. like an earthworm eating dirt probably
eater of dirt
Eater of that one specific blade of grass
hopper of grass
like like
the night's edge component
💥
Considering they’re a melee guy
Prob not much
Clearly he's good enough to use yhermes christal
Yharim will have moon lord laser
Ok what if
Yhermes is actually just a big exo prism
there's only like... Umm...... 5 bosses with death rays in calamity
Exo
Providence
Moonlord
Uhhhhhhhh
doesn't the BoC have one or am I thinking of infernum?
also profaned guardians do as well
Infernum boc doesn't have a deathray
they do
That lightning attack is the closest and that's a huge stretch
it's deathly enough
Inf guards do
How does the inclusion of half life on the canvas affect calamity lore
ik for a fact they do becasue it killed me in the boss rush and I got really upset
It doesn't
Gman is breaking it down on xeroc
Thank you melon gun for the useful and constructive response
calamity verse vs the combine who wins
Gman
Combine lost against humans because they don't like maintaining supply lines
no you wouldnt last 4 seconds against king slime
the guy from skibidi toilet?
die
shutting the channel down indefinitely
I did it

mods, crush his skull, thank you
Breathe asbestos
Profaned guardians have too
I already said that
and we hit defcon one like that
No not at all
I know he spends some time as an egg but after death does he immediately become an egg?
