#

that'd probably fall under jsut asking him more about himself

#

before the Crusade happened

untold oracle
#

Yeah prolly

light linden
#

actually

#

would he have anything to say about the frost dragon?

manic coral
#

the what

light linden
#

I heard there was a frost dragon that was related to the fishrons

manic coral
#

well i sure ain't and everything that goes into the lore pretty much has to go past me first so

untold oracle
light linden
#

oh

#

sorry then

trim edge
#

if the tundra is unnatural and not made by permafrost it's probably caused by a dragon or god right

manic coral
#

not nessesarily

#

i mean refer to some of the bestiary for shit there

mighty zenith
untold oracle
#

Hey how about other continents? Since he’s old he must’ve been in quite a few places

manic coral
#

ice claspers were a big cuase of it's spread

mighty zenith
#

as old duke's ancestor

light linden
#

I imagine he'll have dialogue related to cryonic's creation right?

manic coral
# mighty zenith iirc it was triangle wanting to repurpose the mega mammoth dragon

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.

mighty zenith
#

thats fair, you should probably talk bout it with him

trim edge
#

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

manic coral
#

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

trim edge
#

oh

manic coral
#

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

untold oracle
#

One thing I’m curious about is what are the copper to platinum coins? Are they like some universal currency or?

mighty zenith
#

people already complain that the lore is all about dragons, we dont have to make it worse

light linden
manic coral
#

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

trim edge
#

why can't we forge platinum bars into platinum coins, are we stupid

manic coral
#

anywyas to answer other questions

manic coral
trim edge
#

how big is the planet of terraria

manic coral
#

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

trim edge
#

did anything important (to the crusade ig, we know little about anything before) happen on the other continents

untold oracle
manic coral
trim edge
#

is there a lore reason why we're stuck on one continent

manic coral
#

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.

trim edge
#

no one wants to go there because it's the continent most fucked by the crusade?

manic coral
#

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

trim edge
#

ah

manic coral
#

you wont exactly find anybody too eager to take you or bring you back

trim edge
#

just build a line of dirt between continents to keep track XD

manic coral
#

there's only one place in the world that's more fucked up than the heartlands

#

ok maybe two

#

but the second is debatable

untold oracle
#

I’d like to know…

#

Is it secret

manic coral
#

and after wall of flesh

#

it does absolutely 100% go into 2nd place

trim edge
#

what about the underworld

#

can't we go through there

#

then dig up under another continent

manic coral
#

yeah, you could theoretically treavel between continents that way

#

and people have

#

but it's not exactly safe and it's very slow

trim edge
#

lead the wof to the other fucked up place to make sure the heartlands stays in second place

manic coral
#

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

trim edge
#

hmm

untold oracle
#

What makes that place so awful? Is it just crusade

manic coral
manic coral
dusk laurel
#

Crazy

untold oracle
#

Ooh, interesting

#

is it just australia

trim edge
manic coral
#

it's moreos a matter of

trim edge
#

wait
wouldn't draedon know a lot about other continents
why not ask him

mighty zenith
#

endgame terrarian just doesnt really have any reason to go to the other continents anyway

manic coral
manic coral
#

and are also so high you it's hard to

#

uh

#

breathe

mighty zenith
#

literally everything they could need is in reach of the heartlands at the very least

manic coral
untold oracle
untold oracle
trim edge
#

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

manic coral
#

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

split mortar
#

Since people can handle being right next to surface of the sun hot magma how fucking hellish is that place…

manic coral
#

not a great palce to practically take an army

dusk laurel
manic coral
#

there is an in-universe expalination but im not sharing

#

it's unironically important

split mortar
#

I’m talking about magma at the crags

trim edge
manic coral
#

i mean the magma in the crags isnt hotter

#

jsut more deadly because

#

brimstone

manic coral
#

fishrons are basically the apex of sea monsters more or less

spring helm
#

waaaaa

trim edge
#

which bosses can only be found in the heartlands

manic coral
#

which yeah talking about shit more freely since

untold oracle
#

Hai popcorn

spring helm
#

hello

"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

spring helm
#

that's crazy i thought he was like 200

untold oracle
manic coral
#

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

dusk laurel
#

Holy shit geocentric theory

manic coral
#

yeah, there are other planets out there, but they don't really have something like that

split mortar
manic coral
#

it is essentially a big ball of energy rotating around the world

split mortar
#

I wonder if permafrost can control a small bit of primordial light

manic coral
#

nah

#

primordial light is specifically the sun's light, not all light

#

it is an important distinction

trim edge
#

is primordial light directly related to the world soul

manic coral
#

light just gives visibility. primordial light does a lot more.

split mortar
#

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

untold oracle
#

Does this mean regular light can also be a domain

manic coral
#

since both of these are very imporant distinctions from out own sun irl

untold oracle
#

Does Terraria have multiple moons btw considering how there are multiple of them in the night sky

#

That can be

manic coral
#

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

dusk laurel
spring helm
#

Obviously it came from Xeroc

#

He travelled back in time and gave the planet the sun

#

Thus creating a bootstrap paradox

dusk laurel
#

The sun was Zeratros' arts and crafts project, Xeroc just limited how much food it got

manic coral
#

the real xeroc was the friends we made along the way

split mortar
#

Xerox vs the power of friendship when

#

Fuck

#

Xeroc

#

Not Xerox

#

Why has autocorrect happened

untold oracle
#

Cei who is Xerox

#

I imagine the godseeker knights used the magic guns that draedon designed but were there any that also used more traditional types of magic?

manic coral
#

definitly

#

if a solider showed competency with normal magic, they could use it

untold oracle
#

What’s the lore reason for enemies dropping literally money

cosmic zenith
untold bluff
#

Wtf

#

They removed images

#

You can't send images???

cosmic zenith
untold oracle
#

Like is it canon or just gameplay

untold oracle
manic coral
#

just gameplay

untold oracle
#

Oh

wheat walrus
# manic coral it's not like the sun and thus primordial light is like, THAT hot. like, hot, ye...

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

untold bluff
wheat walrus

#

anyways the popular vote was to hear permafrsot talk about magic so im currently writing that and will share when done

wheat walrus
#

Possible matherial...

split mortar
cosmic zenith
manic coral
#

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

dusk laurel
#

Good luck

split mortar
#

Yeah good luck

manic coral
#

it's fun to write

#

just

#

man idk how wiki people are gonna organize this

spring helm
#

lmao

dusk laurel
#

The wiki is gonna implode

manic coral

will probably grant them mercy and jsut give them my dialogue flowcharts im making

light linden

you're giving the wiki people a headache for christmas

untold oracle

all i want for christmas, is a 30 page wiki article

light linden

i at least want perma and cal dialogue to be finished for SSO

in terms of npc dialogue

manic coral

so who's the quirked up white boy busting it down (sexual style) in Yharim's group

manic coral
#

yeah i'd prefer if it had nothing to do with the tundra existing

cosmic zenith
#

Same

manic coral
#

but it jsut being there i'd be chill with (pun intended 100%)

dusk laurel
light linden
#

the dog in question btw

dusk laurel
#

I do agree the Tundra should not be caused by the dragons

spring helm

i better see some mr freeze quotes in the perma dialogue

Permafrost is the quirked up white boy busting it down

cei can I ask another lore question?

manic coral
#

hard

manic coral
light linden
#

is astral ore outside of the meteor supposed to be basically mana corrupted ore?

spring helm
#

i thought it was super concentrated astral blight

split mortar
#

Astral also turns normal ore into astral ore

cosmic zenith

That’s uh

Giving a certain vibe and I think it’s irony

light linden

all i'll say on it

spring helm

what do you mean by magically attuned

#

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

spring helm
#

calamitas i must drink your blood

#

for science

split mortar
frozen zodiac
#

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

light linden
#

we know if lycanthropy and/or vampirism are canon?

glacial rampart
#

the zoologist and werewolves in question

light linden
#

that doesn't make them canon

split mortar
#

Zoologist proves werefoxes are canon

light linden
#

has the zoologist been said to be canon?

mighty zenith
#

nothing says she isnt

split mortar
#

Don’t see why she wouldn’t be

glacial rampart
#

why wouldnt she be

mighty zenith
#

npcs have unique lore-friendly dialogue for calamity so theyre canon

#

except cirrus for obvious reasons

split mortar
#

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

split mortar
#

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

cosmic zenith
#

Correct

split mortar
cosmic zenith
#

Cirrus will be canon, but she basically exists

#

So no, she won't be Yharim's ex out for revenge or something like that

mighty zenith
#

laaame ||/j||

trim edge
#

she's actually dog's ex

dusk laurel
mighty zenith
#

split mortar

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 hierarchyclueless

calamity slice of life manga of Bandit pulling shenanigans in town while the Terrarian is away

hoary cape
#

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

spring helm
#

i mean

#

he's more developed

spring helm
#

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

hoary cape
#

That is why I stated that I know hierarchy doesn't affect power level lol

hoary cape
#

Right after asking XD

spring helm
#

what's the question then

hoary cape
#

It's already been answered

stoic gulch
#

Question

#

How was brimstone crags before it became ashes

#

And please inform me if it exists more stuff about brimstone crags in lore docs

dusk laurel
split mortar
#

Brimstone crags is the outer parts of azafure iirc

dusk laurel
#

It's the whole biome methinks

split mortar
#

Atleast the current part is going to be

Deeper parts may exist after the rework

stoic gulch
#

So it was always the brimstone crags just the buildings that was ruined

dusk laurel
#

The buildings are part of a city

#

The city is part of the Crags

stoic gulch
#

And do we know if the society was like good or not?

split mortar
stoic gulch
#

Also melon gun I’m writing fanfic about brimstone crag

stoic gulch
split mortar
dusk laurel
#

Not confirmed I think

#

Who knows if they were ruled by gods or not

stoic gulch
#

Thanks a lot guys

split mortar
stoic gulch
#

Should I make it in like scals perspective, brimmys perspective or the players perspective

#

Or another dude

#

Like draedon or yharim

split mortar
#

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

dusk laurel
#

Draedon would give a more direct and accurate report

stoic gulch
#

HMmmmm

#

So brimmy is out of the picture

split mortar
stoic gulch
#

We don’t really know how yharim acts so that’s probably harder to write

#

So draedon or scal

split mortar
#

Right then

If you don’t know who to pick maybe coin toss idk

stoic gulch
#

Yeah I will actually

#

Draedon it is

#

Is draedon talks in lore docs?

split mortar
#

Yes, everything in game is

#

And the lab logs about biomes

dusk laurel
#

Except the Arsenal weapon descriptions

#

Those aren't in the doc

stoic gulch
#

Yeah that’s fine

#

I more want to study draedon a lack of personality and how they act

split mortar
#

Fair

#

Good luck with it

stoic gulch
#

Calclone still goes insane from scals magic right?

dusk laurel
#

Ye

stoic gulch
#

Thank you

#

Is there any lore about infernal suevite

split mortar
stoic gulch
#

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

split mortar
#

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

stoic gulch
#

Draedon is doing this for the lols

split mortar
#

That do be why he does stuff

stoic gulch
#

True…

#

I feel like I cut the ending short tho

I might try writing about the aftermath

cryonic

#

as in she tried to make her own magic metal

stoic gulch
#

Idk about cryonic lore

dusk laurel
#

Cryonic ore is not just ice smh

stoic gulch
#

Yeah probably not

light linden
stoic gulch
#

She doesn’t use any armor so her need of it would probably make it so she doesn’t try

stoic gulch
light linden

I mean

#

you don't have to use it for armor

dusk laurel

Perma can make it, but I don't think it's known if he invented it

most direct example is the tundra log

Hence the aftermath of this was yet another failed clone, but this without a soul, this was controllable.

writing permafrost dialogue and currently getting derailed by thinking of actual names for other udnerworld cities that exist out there

dusk laurel
#

New Azafure clueless

indigo glade
manic coral
#

what's up

manic coral
#

i'm thinking Kreviza sounds likea good one

dusk laurel
#

Having more cities in the Underworld other than Azafure get mentioned is nice

#

Makes it feel less empty

indigo glade
#

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.

manic coral
#

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

stoic gulch
#

Hell yeah new lore directly after I wrote about azafure

manic coral
#

that was unusual to come by

manic coral
#

you know

#

where DID that orginate

deft vessel
#

Could ”normal” life exist near the poles (during winter) during the Draconic-age

manic coral

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

Oh yeah I also got a question

could azafure have had books in it?

and it did have plenty

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.

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

manic coral
#

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

wheat walrus

#

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

at the end of the day it's all just turning mana into other stuff

and thus

I'm assuming Brimstone has roots to the

Well

crystal pendant
#

what exactly is mana? just some primordial force in terraria? Ik stars are made of it

indigo glade
manic coral
#

Permafrost is the one who can go into that a bit more

deft vessel
#

So it would be correct to asume that the 3 main forms of magic in Calamity are:
-Mana
-Elementals
-Domains

split mortar
#

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

manic coral
#

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.

mmyes 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

manic coral
#

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

manic coral

i do apologize

ruby heart

peepowegud 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

manic coral

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

manic coral

anyways

thank you

jsut need to make sure there aren't typos and edit it a bit

what's up

light linden
#

actually it'd prolly be better to ask this first, are you also programming it in?

manic coral
#

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

light linden
#

maybe I'm misunderstanding how it's going to work then

manic coral
#

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

light linden
#

I thought it was going to have a seperate ui

manic coral
#

except you can go deeper in and have more options and it's mostly just more dialogue

manic coral
#

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

light linden
#

maybe I just need to try harder for what I'm currently working on then

manic coral
#

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

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.

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

"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

woven sparrow

Thanks for taking the time to clarify that

manic coral

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

woven sparrow

Understandable

manic coral
#

man i love sneaking in the names of boss themes while writing about said bosses

untold oracle
# woven sparrow Oh what’s up with her now?

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.

woven sparrow
#

Mmmmm okay

spiral hazel
#

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?

untold oracle

The crusade lasted for a century

spiral hazel
#

oh? really?

#

i did missed a ton after couple months later from the new lore, so I didn't knew that

also i didnt realize how long perma talking about calamitas was until i finally zoomed out

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

nope i made it that way so that nobody can actually tell what i'm writing HDFailure

and ty :D

permafrost might actually end up as the person with the most dialogue in the game

#

dude might actually beat out Draedon

spiral hazel
#

tho he was like a mentor for calamitas no? so it would make sense if he yaps a lot

manic coral
#

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

spiral hazel
#

wonderful lore source he is then CalSmug

manic coral
#

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

#
  1. Being concerned by his strength
  2. Boy howdy, that Yharim guy sure sounds strong! I wanna fight him!

or a secret 3th option which determines his attractiveness /jk

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?
