strange occurences

Peculiar instances

[wheat walrus]

rng

[plush lichen]

Is this just general talk 2

[spring helm]

When there is no lore, yes

[plush lichen]

Ok

[split mortar]

Basically yeah

With lore being talked about more often but yeah off topic is common

Even with 4 mods

[cosmic zenith]

Outside of Calamity spaces, I've been recognized once I think

Ironically, by the owner of a Rain World mod I truly admire

[prime mauve]

I don't think anyone has ever recognized me and I'm ok with that

even now you all are wondering who this random person is

[dusk laurel]

I recognize you

[real silo]

I know you

Stinky!

[eager bluff]

:frickyoy:

[dusk laurel]

:thumdown:

[frigid sage]

Rain world

I just completed the leukocyte RWSC

While doing pilgrimage

[prime mauve]

false memories

[pliant ruin]

john stormweaver

[prime mauve]

oh shoot I've been found out

btw weaver mod port gonna be posted in like 10 minutes now that I remember to do it

[real silo]

what weaver mod...

[prime mauve]

the storm weaver mod

it's literally called storm weaver mod

it's canonically the best mod to ever exist

[limpid saddle]

i bring discussion by inquiring

favourite calamity character?

[robust osprey]

mmmmh

draedon probably

or Scal

[spring helm]

Permafrost

he's just a chill guy

[limpid saddle]

has anyone done that as art yet

chill guy permafrost

[robust osprey]

I also like permafrost

I mean chill guy who only wanted the best for the world being allies with fucking genocidal mf

[limpid saddle]

I'm gonna be a contrarian & say Calamitas Clone

[limpid saddle]

Not because of anything she is right now, but because of the massive potential of the character

[robust osprey]

I dont even understand calclone lore

I think Scal freed it when draedon was making it

and she gave her powers to the clone???

maybe I am misremembering

[limpid saddle]

Dreadon made a fully developed clone, but she didn't have any of her Brimstone Magic potential, supposedly proving Dreadon's theory about her magic not originating from her birth but other sources, got taken away to a storage facility & presumably shoved in a test tube, Calamitas prime somehow learned of this, broke into the facility containing Calamitas Clone, (gonna call her C.C for convience now) & somehow, presumably accidentally transfered over some of her Brimstone Magic

Leading C.C to go insane & stalk the night, where she was supposedly identified during her escapades by Yharim, Dreadon, & possibly Calamitas Prime?

[robust osprey]

oh I always thought Scal gave her powers to the clon in purpose beacuse .

[limpid saddle]

because?

[robust osprey]

I dunno

beacuse ????

[limpid saddle]

Fair

But given she went insane, & Calamitas doesnt seem like the kind of person to willingly watch someone who is also herself have a psychotic break

Especially not post-crusades

[robust osprey]

maybe she didnt expect the clone would go insane

[limpid saddle]

im gonna say it wasnt intentional

[limpid saddle]

I feel like Calamitas would be very well acquainted with the burden of Brimstone magic

Given it's volatile nature it's easy to say in such massive quantities like in Calamitas, it can affect the psyche

& even a fragment of that transferred over to a clone, & presumably some memories of Calamitas's life, given C.C knows about Catastrophe & Cataclysm

yeah, might make someone go a little crazy

[robust osprey]

also the clone itself replicated the bros?

[limpid saddle]

Especially someone so inherently unaquainted with life, given she was grown in a test tube, & stashed away in a test-tube until Calamitas broke her out

[limpid saddle]

Who the hell else would've done it?

[robust osprey]

maybe draedon somehow knew I dunno

[limpid saddle]

If it was Calamitas they would've been signifigantly higher quality

& it's a necromantic facsimile

Last I knew Dreadon doth not fuck with necromancy

[robust osprey]

fair enough

I thought draedon made them only beacuse their names are "catsclysmic/catastrophic construct"

[limpid saddle]

Dreadon doesnt got a patent on constructing things

If he did azafure would've been sued to the ground millenia before the Brimstone Elemental woke up

[robust osprey]

yeah but since calclone summons them

I thought it was draedon

[limpid saddle]

It's a reasonable conclusion I suppose but I shrimply don't see it

I always thought C.C made them

Cause if Dreadon made them

1. Why not just make clones of Cataclysm & Catastrophe
2. They're a bit shit for anything Dreadon would make, especially post-Crusades

[robust osprey]

fair enough

I just couldnt see the idea of the clone replicating Scal's necromancy

[pliant ruin]

calamitas

her being manipulated into doing Terrible Things due to factors beyond her control and then only realizing it later and striving to not hurt people again like she did in the past is really compelling to me

and also partially because i see myself in her atleast a little given we both seem to have ptsd

[faint plank]

calamitas is so cool

[pliant ruin]

honestly really like DoG too

but not for the reasons most like him

usually i see people like him because oh hes badass and he devours gods and the music etc

but honestly

i like him because hes kind of pathethic .

like. think about it

you have this giant cosmic eldritch worm capable of killing gods

who then spends his time boasting about things he didn't do, making shitty lies that nobody believes, gamer raging at you actually beating him when hes armorless, and canonically being lower in the distortion hierarchy than a being physically weaker than him

he's incredibly intimidating and powerful to almost all beings but the moment you're above him he just becomes absolutely fucking hilarious

[faint plank]

isnt he also being constantly manipulated

[pliant ruin]

not thta we know of

also credit to yharim for being like the objectively best written character atm

hes up there too

not much to say about this one he's just really fucking well written

[rotund shore]

Boyfailure serpent

People fall for yharim propaganda, but people also fall for the propaganda that DoG is a cool dude

[magic epoch]

godfailure

[light linden]

still wonder if DoG would've turned on Yharon at some point

[real silo]

I mean does he have a reason to

[magic epoch]

but could he

[light linden]

he's gathering god essence for noxus

and considering yharon is one of the strongest auric dragons

good chance noxus would make DoG go after him

[real silo]

he'd have to turn yharon's soul into a god soul first

[light linden]

eh

I'm not sure if that is a hard requirement

we don't know what noxus is gathering the god essence for

could be for decor, could be that he can somehow absorb it

[crystal pendant]

self fulfillment

pop off, noxus

[scenic olive]

To destroy them

[green bay]

Nah dawg is just hungry noxus hasnt had his breakfast yet

[spring helm]

I never really thought about it but why did CalClone go insane and not SCal

[hoary berry]

might be for the same reason that SCal is the person who inherited brimmy's power
something special about her (that is beyond genetics) that makes her a suitable vessel for it
dunno what that special thing would be

[scenic olive]

She ate her soul

[hoary berry]

nom nom

[real silo]

she has a prime soul

scal prime

[hoary berry]

scal neo

[limpid saddle]

I think it's about what life they both lead before obtaining Brimstone Magic, Calamitas was raised by a loving family, she had people who cared about her, & lost that after attaining her Brimstone Magic, but managed to soon after find people to help her, guide her, even if in destructive ways, eg. Yharim & Permafrost.
C.C however, has nothing, at best she had a life in a lab being raised by machines, at worst she never even experienced living before Calamitas broke her out of Dreadon's storage facility, so she's sourrounded by all these overwhelming sensations & feelings & just left to fester in them, with absolutely no-one, not even herself, throw in Brimstone magic with that it's no wonder she went insane, it's really sad honestly

[spring helm]

Well written

[limpid saddle]

thanks

Anyway that's just what I think the difference is

It's a force of will, powered by love & friendship (& hatred) that C.C lacks

[hoary berry]

that's a really interesting way to think about it

[feral skiff]

Is the player ever explained in the lore?

[hoary berry]

insert overused_image.png here

[untold oracle]

The terrarian’s lore is up to you

Unironically don’t ban me for saying that

[untold oracle]

Lowq I wanna give calclone a hug

[feral skiff]

Yeah i’m gonna be completely honest this sounds like a question with no answer that isn’t meant to be solved

[hoary berry]

?

[snow mountain]

landlord

[untold oracle]

The terrarian’s point is that you can make up like 99.98% of the lore yourself

And I really like that

[snow mountain]

except for the landlord part obviously

[mighty zenith]

i'd also toss in the fact that it's implied calclone had to take all of calamitas memories and experiences at once

[snow mountain]

aneurysm

[mighty zenith]

Having to see all of that in the blink of an eye would definitely affect someone's brain

at least cal had time between them + support with perma

clone had nothing but a tube and a grasshopper robot monitoring her

[snow mountain]

homegrow your own cal

[mighty zenith]

why would I

[untold oracle]

Spam

Ig

Whatever

[snow mountain]

what if i ate the entire development team whole?

[untold oracle]

Why would you do that

[mighty zenith]

that would be rude i think

[untold oracle]

If you do that we will never get yhim upadte

[snow mountain]

conspicously development team -shaped throat

[mighty zenith]

i give u permission to eat merkalto

[limpid saddle]

I developed my ideas on what we know to be true 100%

[mighty zenith]

that's fair

i like making stuff up

[hoary berry]

Making stuff up constitutes 90% of my presence here

[untold oracle]

:(

[hoary berry]

[mighty zenith]

shur up

[snow mountain]

where else do you think he builds and stores his shit??

[mighty zenith]

don't call it that please

[snow mountain]

most apt name nonetheless

[limpid saddle]

Because I definetly believe C.C has some memories (otherwise how do Cataclysm & Catastrophe Constructs exist?) But the shrimple fact is we don't know enough

[snow mountain]

hmm

[limpid saddle]

Checkmate liberal

[mighty zenith]

ok stop

[limpid saddle]

I refuted the proposed hypothesis with facts & logic

[snow mountain]

this implies that draedon is working on modliquid...

[limpid saddle]

just how Dreadon would've wanted

[gritty kraken]

Chat would you eat exo prism ice cream

[mighty zenith]

i would eat exo prism

[limpid saddle]

That sounds like just eating

[snow mountain]

what do you think draedon tastes like?

[limpid saddle]

metal

[snow mountain]

are we talking rust patina kinda thing or smooth metal?

[limpid saddle]

steel

[limpid saddle]

Anyway back to this

C.C's existence is confused agony

[mighty zenith]

im sorry but when I read C. C. my brainrotted ass immediately thought of fnaf

[gritty kraken]

Fnaf five nights

[limpid saddle]

[cosmic minnow]

Excuse me?

Why would you want to know-

[snow mountain]

scrumptious

[stoic gulch]

Mechanical wires

And oil

[cosmic minnow]

You know that taste when you got blood in your mouth? Like that. And yes prolly like oil

[stoic gulch]

Ye this

I’ve tasted one of his bodies when he tried to experiment on my dog

My teeth was in shambles

I did make him go away at least

[limpid saddle]

Alright i've asked who's the best, now I gotta know
Who's the worst Calamity character?

(Or just the one you hate the most)

[untold oracle]

Hmm

[split mortar]

Hmm

[random mulch]

DoG is a prick

[untold oracle]

Genuinely

I think DoG is ridiculously overrated

[split mortar]

Fair

[untold oracle]

The fight is shit, the theme is mid

[split mortar]

Yeah the fight is shit

I was trying to think of in a lore perspective but yeah gameplay wise Ravager or dog

[random mulch]

i think scourge of the universe is a bop and universal collapse works well in game, but UC doesnt work in isolation

[split mortar]

Lore wise?

Uhh

[limpid saddle]

Really? I thought the fight was good

[split mortar]

Idk

[limpid saddle]

It was a painful wall but overcoming it was the most satisfying thing ever

[random mulch]

DoG's fight is not good and i'm glad the laser walls are getting nerfed next update

[limpid saddle]

Though I don't get dissing Scourge Of The Universe & Universal Collapse

[split mortar]

Isn’t there a glitch where the laser walls don’t align with the indicator?

[limpid saddle]

those go hard

[split mortar]

Calamity fans when personal preference

[limpid saddle]

Yeah that's easily the worst part of the fight

[split mortar]

Also dog just doesn’t

Try eating you

[random mulch]

UC works well in game as a continuation of SotU but by itself it's just kinda alright

[split mortar]

Like it kinda does when purple

But eh

[untold oracle]

The laser walls are often broken and the lasers are often misaligned to the original outlines

[limpid saddle]

It's like ND but 3 tiers of progression too early

[untold oracle]

Also the character is eh

[split mortar]

And the laser walls get nerfed in infernum
As in more time to react

Like

[untold oracle]

Yes

[split mortar]

There’s def not enough time for someone to react to them

[untold oracle]

In infernum they are also clean and aligned correctly

I like how infernum does dog mostly but the amount of invincibility phases in p2 and p3 is ridiculous

[random mulch]

i'm glad they're getting axed for the reworked fight (in 37 fargo years)

[limpid saddle]

What are even the current priorities of the next update?

[untold oracle]

Sunken sea

[random mulch]

complete overhaul of the sunken sea

[untold oracle]

Also major lore drops

[limpid saddle]

I thought that one happened already...

[random mulch]

also respriting & reworking desert scourge and slime god

[split mortar]

Name of update: sunken sea overhaul part 1

[untold oracle]

What are the other major gameplay things?

[untold oracle]

Oh shit forgot that

SG gonna be peak

[limpid saddle]

Oh yeah the revealed sprites look really good

[split mortar]

Eh, if it did that was fucking ages ago and this still outdated

[limpid saddle]

I don't read updates I just see that they happen

[limpid saddle]

Anyway it's cool that the Crimulan & Ebonian Slimes are gonna have more distinct roles

[split mortar]

If you’re interested in update stuff go check the future contents document in the pins of #calamity-update-talk

[limpid saddle]

Anyway didnt an answer on this one from anyone except Deltaw & Orios

[untold oracle]

I don’t think any character is bad tho

[cloud ibex]

are you asking about writing quality or the character themselves

[untold oracle]

I think it’s a combination of character & quality

I went mainly with gameplay tho :P

[mighty zenith]

currently i think amidias is a lil undercooked

but that's understandable

he's getting basically his own update

[hoary berry]

Holy Collider

'The first weapon to have received Her divine mark, She carried it as a symbol of Her cause—marking the beginning of the end of sin and suffering... or so She had hoped.'
Wyvern's Call
'Being the amongst the first lifeforms to feel the threat of the interstellar invader, many wyverns led the charge against Its cavalry; misled by distortions in the atmosphere, they ultimately rallied to their grave in space's cold embrace. Now, as the magic of centuries past begins to disperse, shrivelled corpses occasionally plummet to the earth from their artificial orbit.'
these two lean more heavily into headcanon territory...

[real silo]

[link removed]
What do people think of this for a SS minibiome theme

Feels very nice for a crystally place

Because of the cute windchimes

[hoary berry]

had to post that in a void server to make sure it wasn't a rick roll

[real silo]

I would never

[hoary berry]

can't be too sure

[real silo]

be sure

I don't find rick rolls funny

[hoary berry]

good

[hoary berry]

and yeah i agree

this is pretty awesome

[magic epoch]

i don't find rick rolls funny i find the song good

[real silo]

I don't like the song much either but I'm also just too j-rockpilled

[snow mountain]

isn't this guy a weirdo?

[real silo]

What makes you say that

[snow mountain]

pressured someone to draw NSFW art of them, threatened suicide as blackmail for personal benefit, as well as just being a manipulative creep in general

[split mortar]

Oh wtf

[snow mountain]

regular tmodlet stuff basically :(

theres an entire thing that I don't have on me at the current minute

[snow mountain]

hence why i suggest that this link isn't shared, so they can languish in obscurity

[real silo]

Damn

Crazy lore

[snow mountain]

ikr

[split mortar]

Lorous

[faint plank]

yharimgangnamstyle

[gritty kraken]

Yharon left because of this

[hoary berry]

'The favoured weapon of all beings, mortal or immortal, mundane or divine. Its beautiful form—radiant no matter the type of light one shines upon it—inspires hope in its wielder and strikes unknowable fear into their enemies.'
canon and realistic entry

from a totally unbiased source (me

[gritty kraken]

if someone told me submarine shocker were viable for thanatos I’d believe them

[faint plank]

my head cannon for subshocker its that its main material is dried fish

[split mortar]

If that’s unbiased then yharims trustworthy

[hoary berry]

you're implying that yharim isn't trustworthy????

[split mortar]

Am I?

If you are unbiased then I’m implying he is trustworthy

You implying he isn’t?

[hoary berry]

also entry

Slagsplitter Pauldron: a potent example of offensive armour, this hand-crafted, three-layered artefact draws upon the restless energy of the crags to enhance physical strikes with the blazing power of hell. Each plate—forged from the skeletal remains of ancient ash trees—conducts and amplifies the brimstone magic dancing within its demonic core.

also dunno if i've shared this here so

Community: even after its owner has been dragged beyond the Veil, this heart beats solemnly and steadily. The power that flows through the wielder’s body from this artefact once allowed the Ocean Princesses’ bond to remain unshakeable no matter their distance, but unity cannot last forever: nothing can.

[split mortar]

Artefact the actual spelling???

Thought it was

Artifact

[dusk laurel]

Mrrrp

[hoary berry]

either

[dusk laurel]

Hai guys

[hoary berry]

haihai

[indigo glade]

America.

[split mortar]

Oh that’s how America spells it?

[dusk laurel]

Wdym

I also spell it artifact

[faint plank]

Artefacto

[hoary berry]

wanna write a grand guardian entry because it looks cool as hell

but i can't think of any ideas to work with

which is the exact opposite to the issue i've been having with fault line

[limpid saddle]

Well it's made of the Majestic Guard, which is made of Souls Of Might, so maybe you can tie it into Yharim's soldiers?

[frozen zodiac]

What are the properties of Profaned Crystals?

[untold oracle]

I imagine they have healing properties

The crystal in the middle of Providence is her heart

The crystal in the Healer has amplified magic

[limpid saddle]

Speaking of

Does anyone think it's really cool that the Calamity Gods are so abstract & not just angelic-resemblant people?

Like it's so interesting that they warp into these strange monsterous creatures

It feels like a pit-hole alot of media falls into

[split mortar]

Thing is not all of them do change dramatically, some weren’t changed all that much so what is the rhyme and reason for it is also a interesting thing to think about

But yeah I agree it is a cool idea that calamity has with them

[untold oracle]

Calamity gods aren’t the same as how we would think of gods

I think that’s why

[light linden]

so random thing

y'all think it'd be a stretch for an auric soul of magnetism to create a god of wards?

[split mortar]

What is a ward?

[light linden]

a magical shield

[split mortar]

It could work though that would depend on how wards work in calamity I think

[mighty zenith]

yeah compare them to like, greek gods

who are very human looking

[untold oracle]

I like the greek/roman gods because while they still are gods they are rather humane as they still have their petty troubles and weaknesses

[mighty zenith]

they're also pretentious assholes often

very human

[untold oracle]

Did they mod abuse???

[mighty zenith]

zeus powertripping

[limpid saddle]

I prefer a more abstract interpretation of Divinity personally

Now either i'll get a nod for mentioning it or publically executed, but Fear & Hunger has a very fascinating idea in theur catalouge of 'Old Gods'

[split mortar]

Calamity while isn’t abstract it is certainly quite cool

[limpid saddle]

Their existence is altered by how humanity, or otherwise with beings of higher conscience, percieve the things they represent, but they can never truly form within the world because everybodies idea of what a concept is is different

[split mortar]

Cool

[limpid saddle]

So you can only encounter 'Traces', something that is both eintierly the God, & at the same time a manifested fragment of it in places where the concentrated concept is strongest

But there's also New Gods, Gods created by humans going to the city of the gods, Ma'habre, & sitting on the golden throne, ascending them, but they're nowhere near as strong as Old Gods

[untold oracle]

How about hive mind

[limpid saddle]

do you mean the calamity boss or 'what if a hivemind formed & everyone had a unified idea of what 'destruction' looked like'

[untold oracle]

Unified idea

[limpid saddle]

Well, that is impossible in the setting, except for one thing

[magic epoch]

could jumbo josh beat yharim

[limpid saddle]

The Ascended God, Logic, from Funger 2: Termina

[limpid saddle]

yeah probably

[limpid saddle]

To explain an ascended god is an artificial old god created by either a human having a child with a new god or 'science™️', they kill an Old God in this process & supplant them

(except you cant really kill an old god they just kinda get kicked to the curb)

Logic in the A-Ending of Termina unifies human conscience in a massive possibly literal wall of ideas around Earth that guards it from space & the 'green hue', which is where the Old Gods originate from

it's a divine stand-in for the internet i'm pretty sure

But we don't really know what possible ramifications that eould have, or if it's even a hive mind

Given the Old Gods dissonance from humanity they probably cant just will them into existence

[pliant ruin]

has this ggg fellow became a new lorer

amazing

the hive mind grows

time to read over this convo cuz im bored

[split mortar]

Yup

[limpid saddle]

I mean it's what i've been doing

[pliant ruin]

You see it's hard to tell when someone is just passing by with some lore questions or if someone has became an active new lore chat member

Seems like you're falling under the latter

[untold oracle]

Absolute lore

[limpid saddle]

Well I sparked like 3 discussions so far & dropped a multi-paragraph analysis of Calamitas Clone as a character & what seperates her from Calamitas

so i'm pretty sure im locked in for as long as the autism remains in my heart

[pliant ruin]

me too buddy

[split mortar]

So many autism people

[limpid saddle]

This kind of thing tends to attract our kind

[split mortar]

True

[cloud ibex]

we shall now fight to see who amongst us becomes autismo prime

[split mortar]

My terraria autism has been happening since I was 9 :provg:

I am now near an adult so…
I think my autism will last a bit more

[pliant ruin]

my madoka autism solos

[split mortar]

Nah, I’d win

[limpid saddle]

My Kingdom Hearts & Funger autism are gonna join forces & obliterate you

Throw in the Yakuza autism?

it's over

[light linden]

my warframe autism:

[split mortar]

Shout out to that time I sent multiple 40 minute voice recordings of just me ranting about terraria to my bestfriend when I was like 12

[pliant ruin]

In the walls rn, straight up whispering it,. And by it? Haha… well let’s justr say….. my void

[light linden]

in that's a reference to witw but what

[dusk laurel]

[shrewd stream]

I love calamity so much, as someone unable to hold a fixation for more than 2 days, this mod managed to keep me hooked up for 5 years now, even tho i only play for a whole week every 3 - 6 months

[split mortar]

Tbf 3-6 months is generally enough time for some update to get put out

[shrewd stream]

Yeah

[limpid saddle]

I predict my current burst of Calamity autism is gonna fade early february, then re-emerge when my Calamitas plushie arrives

Fade, & then get a stranglehold on me when Yharon arrives

[shrewd stream]

Are they still selling them?

[split mortar]

February to may/april (whatever’s later) is when I guess sso comes out

[limpid saddle]

Yharon or Calamitas?

[split mortar]

Yharon plushes

Also happen

[shrewd stream]

Wow

Anyways

Bruh i forgot to change my pfp

[split mortar]

lol

[shrewd stream]

Im still with a png i found on google 9 months ago

So what are we discussing regarding the lore

[limpid saddle]

I dont really know

I brought up the interesting interpretation of divinity calamity has & ranted about fear & hunger lore for 15 minutes

[shrewd stream]

Xd

[wheat walrus]

lebron james

[split mortar]

About as on topic as lore chat is normally

[shrewd stream]

We all agree that draedon has the voice of gianni right?

[split mortar]

He did in that one trailer didn’t he

[shrewd stream]

Yeh

[split mortar]

Then yeah the closest thing to a canon voice we have

[shrewd stream]

Imagine if calamity was voice acted

[split mortar]

Calamity fandub when

[shrewd stream]

Before even thinking about that, i think the npc dialogue boxes could be fancier, i think there are mods that do that right?

[limpid saddle]

like gianni matragrano?

[split mortar]

Yes

Ultrakill Gabriel

[shrewd stream]

What other gianni you know?

[limpid saddle]

I was just inquiring

I dunno if it's a solid fit

[pliant ruin]

He's technically the closest to a canon voice we have as he voiced draedon that one time

[split mortar]

Calamity is a alternate timeline where Gabriel instead of angel was instead a machine

[limpid saddle]

I always imagined something more doctor hayden from doom

[shrewd stream]

Dear lord

[split mortar]

That gets grinded down to dust by basically any attack

[pliant ruin]

Doctor hayden is like the prime example of a draedon voice in my head yeah

[limpid saddle]

His prime body is probably way more durable than his recon body

[split mortar]

Does he have a prime body tho

[pliant ruin]

From what we know he just has several recon bodies

[shrewd stream]

I dont know who is dr hayden so i will search it brb

[limpid saddle]

I mean he has to have an original body

The guy that made him didnt just upload the Dreadon consciousness to a control matrix it was sent directly to that body

[shrewd stream]

Eh

[limpid saddle]

& one would assume somebody eould go through pains to ensure their magnum opus wouldnt cave in on itself if it got whacked by a whip

[pliant ruin]

I mean it's highly implied draedon is his own inventor

Converting consciousness to code type shit

[limpid saddle]

I see it as possible but not like the 100% true answer

[split mortar]

He may have had a main body in the past but nowadays he could be uh

Basically everywhere

[pliant ruin]

Ye it's def not 100%

but i'd say it's strongly implied so it's v plausible

[limpid saddle]

No i'd say he definetly still has a main body

He can remotely control his creations that doesn't mean they're all inherently him

[strange stump]

Draedon is in my F16

[pliant ruin]

Draedon isn't attached to a specific body, he's essentially just, lines of code, that get copied and pasted over several thousand different recon bodies, which uh

[strange stump]

trust me bro

[pliant ruin]

make him functionally immortla

[spare pier]

Draedon has a main body

200 of them

[limpid saddle]

I'd say operating a recon body is like slapping on a VR headset

[pliant ruin]

ngl i think that's a lowball

go higher reb

[split mortar]

Draedon is a ai

Just slap controls on another recon and it’s functionally the same as the “main”

[strange stump]

i talk to him everytime i fly to my favourite coffee place

[snow mountain]

nah id say its more of a

trazyn the infinite situation

[split mortar]

Ok Taylor swift
-# we’re they even the person who got in trouble for using a private jet a unnecessarily high amount

[deft vessel]

Correct

[limpid saddle]

Well at the bare minimum I like to imagine Dreadon has some form of sentimentility for his original body

It seems like the kind of thing he'd do, given his anguish over you naming HS-04 (I think?) Skeletron Prime

[pliant ruin]

He just names his original body zeus

😭

[limpid saddle]

He would do that though

If we ever see it it's gonna be the size of a fucking Evangelion & laced with Exo prisms sitting on a golden throne like he's the god emperor of robokind

[split mortar]

Draedon is already like 20ft tall with the recon drone iirc

[limpid saddle]

What? No, he's like, double the size of the terrarian

[pliant ruin]

That's because he's sitting down

When he's standing up he's

A good bit taller than any humans

[limpid saddle]

Yeah like 8ft

[pliant ruin]

He has gamer posture...

[split mortar]

That’s like 12 foot tall while sitting down

[limpid saddle]

gamer lean from spending too much time at the forge grinding

[frozen zodiac]

SHRIMP-
🦐

[limpid saddle]

just popped 4 melatonin im gonna die tonight chat

[magic epoch]

Wtf I only ever take 2

[stoic gulch]

I take 16

[magic epoch]

i think you'd die

[stoic gulch]

I have a big body

As skeletron

[stoic gulch]

In undead

So yeah

[magic epoch]

as skeletron you have no body

[stoic gulch]

I have soul body

I take soul melatonin

[snow mountain]

no way samesies!!!

[limpid saddle]

incredible

[sinful adder]

we have no reason to believe this. The most practical approach for him to take is for each of the servers in the countless labs throughout the world to be like his neurons

he may still have his original body as a backup though

[limpid saddle]

yeah but that's boring

i like the cool idea better that he has all his other bodies & his original body that he's upgraded with all his developed technology

[snow mountain]

he doesn't have an original body, it's more accurate to say he's in all of them in some capacity and just diverts his attention to each one when needed

[limpid saddle]

what do you mean

[snow mountain]

hence why each body would be equipped for different purposes

[limpid saddle]

his creator didnt upload him to 17 bodies at once

[snow mountain]

his consciousness must be linked to all of them in some form

[limpid saddle]

he definetly distinctly has one original body for which he was made to exist in & then ported into

he shrimply proceeded to make more

[snow mountain]

his origins are too unclear to make this assumption

[limpid saddle]

It feels quite clear

[snow mountain]

why would a being like himself even have an original body to be attached to?

[limpid saddle]

Dreadon never refers to himself as a plural thus its fair to assume he never started existence as one

[snow mountain]

he isn't human and lacks those sentimentalities

[snow mountain]

he's not a gestalt consciousness though

there's a difference

[limpid saddle]

& yet, he critiques & jabs at the Terrarian for 'Skeletron Prime'

[pliant ruin]

hi

i am draedon

hello

[stoic gulch]

Skelli mechi is a better name

[limpid saddle]

The way he words it it's more than a correction he is actively upset at the horrible naming convention

[cloud ibex]

mom says it's my turn to be draedon

[snow mountain]

no way is that John draedon??

[limpid saddle]

He obviously has some even base form of emotions

[frosty shale]

draedon please stop insulting my naming skills, you didn't even invent miracle matter how dare you criticize the moniker i gave it

[limpid saddle]

As all sufficiently advanced A.I would eventually develop

[limpid saddle]

we stan mean dreadon

[frosty shale]

-# so do I to be fair

[mighty zenith]

im squidward im squidward, squidward squidward squidward

[snow mountain]

yeah but those are different to being sentimental

[frosty shale]

draedon probably could have emotions, he just chooses to ignore them

[limpid saddle]

My point he has the potential for sentimentality

[snow mountain]

he doesn't have ethics, they are below him

[frosty shale]

he literally only cares about scientific discovery

so what if he destroys an ecosystem in the process

[snow mountain]

holy shit bondrewd

[robust osprey]

draedon is above the ecosystems

[pliant ruin]

hi im jane exomech

[limpid saddle]

I think Sulpherous Sea was a 'whoopsie' & not an 'intentional' moment

[snow mountain]

no way

[frosty shale]

Was referring to the Plague

[light linden]

hey which hex member do you like the most?

[limpid saddle]

given all his very active reassurances that he isnt trying to destroy the world

[frosty shale]

Also, Draedon could fix the Sulphur Sea, he just chooses not to because "it'd be a waste of time"

[snow mountain]

that's being careless of the impact

[mighty zenith]

no he definitely knew it would fuck things up

[limpid saddle]

I imagine Silva would be in stark opposition of him tearing it up by the bedrock & rebuilding it

[mighty zenith]

he just didnt care/was curious if it would change the already polluted environment

and he was right, it did change actually

[snow mountain]

he's literally me

does draedon have a warehouse somewhere

[indigo glade]

"So what" is that it destroys an ecosystem that he potentially could've studied. You mention that this is based on the releasing on the Plague, but Draedon states he is able to turn it off at any time with a kill switch, if it ever damages the Jungle's ecosystem to an unrepairable degree.

[frosty shale]

I mean, he's not opposed to enslaving Queen Bees

and they're important to the Jungle's ecosystem

besides them poisoning their hives, the lack of other Queen Bees...

[limpid saddle]

Well he captured & converted exactly one Queen

& actively monitors the plauges development

[indigo glade]

Plaguebringers are additional Queen Bees.

Queen Bee's are clearly not important enough to the Jungle's ecosystem, since you can fight several Plaguebringer's and the Plague hasn't been turned off.

[limpid saddle]

Im quite sure Plaugebringers are just queen larvae born infected with the plauge

[limpid saddle]

We dont know if any refights are canon

[spring helm]

i dont think Draedon ever plans on turning it off

[indigo glade]

What refight? They're a normal enemy that randomly spawns.

[pliant ruin]

Well what refights are canon is mostly up to you within the limits of the rfights that can canonically happen

[sinful adder]

well, no, he at least did have an original body that he woke up in

[pliant ruin]

Like. Queen Bees.

Or desert scourges

[light linden]

slightly

[limpid saddle]

Exactly!

[light linden]

if it gets too out of control he will

[limpid saddle]

Anyway

[sinful adder]

we know this from things he said

[limpid saddle]

Plaugebringers arent Queen Bees though

[split mortar]

Queen bee refight are canon, they’re one of the few who are canon

[pliant ruin]

Plaguebringers are Queen Bee larvas that matured into full Queen Bees under the control of the plague iirc

[limpid saddle]

They are bee larvea produced by an infested bee host that are born pre-plauged

[split mortar]

Plague bringers are infected royal larvae iirc

[pliant ruin]

They are more or less queen bees, just deformed from birth

[indigo glade]

Do you know how royal larvae are made...

[pliant ruin]

Which i hope their eventual redesign reflects on bc rn they just look like

smaller pbgs

they have no reason to be metallci,,,

[limpid saddle]

Yeah but it's being worded like queen bees by the dozen are being converted actively

[indigo glade]

"Before you ask: I am aware that my nanomachines currently plague the jungle. I created a failsafe in case this happened, and have no intent of causing uncontrollable mass destruction. If it begins to threaten biodiversity or otherwise encroach upon my learning of Terraria, I will deactivate it myself."

He does plan to turn it off, only if he has to, though.

[pliant ruin]

He's gonna turn it off when he goes "yeah i've studied this enough and its gotten too bad"

but while he has both a reason to study it and it's under control

yeah he's keeping it

[light linden]

ngl

still think the jungle was the worst biome for him to unleash it in

[limpid saddle]

I think he prioririzes studying the natural world (things he doesnt know about) over something he himself made

[glacial rampart]

and yet people still say draedon wants to kill everyone

[pliant ruin]

yeah probably one of the worst places for a plague that assimilates the local fauna to be released in

given how much life there is

blame yharim... :sobv

[light linden]

not just that

[limpid saddle]

the media comprehension of the average calamity player is baffling

[light linden]

it has the most potential to break out there

[stoic gulch]

Is comprehension like understandment of something

[spring helm]

i really dont think this one was yharim's fault, personally i believe that Draedon would have released PBG into the jungle eventually

[limpid saddle]

That's probably why he made a killswitch gang

[cloud ibex]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

aoi since she's nice i guess but probably a better question for like

gen media

[deft valve]

did you know

[pliant ruin]

i did

im all knowing

:D

[deft valve]

no sorry

thats lie

[pliant ruin]

whar the fuck

[deft valve]

[hoary cape]

Yah sorry you didn't know

[dusk laurel]

Where's john exotech

[pliant ruin]

dead

took his place

[dusk laurel]

[hoary cape]

It's true

I was the cause of death

[unborn wind]

question for lore people was yharim killing innocent worshippers from the very start of his crusade or was that something he eventually began doing as the war dragged on

[spring helm]

from the very start

now he doesn't say that directly, but you can infer it from how casual he is about it

[pliant ruin]

Well we don't know for sure

[spring helm]

while he admits their slaughter is evil, he views it as a much lesser evil than existing as a worshipper of a god

[pliant ruin]

But based on what we do know, it's more than likely he already had atleast some deegree of Bad Tendencies from the start. Maybe he didn't outright murder innocent worshippers though

[frigid sage]

Yharim is quite corrupt

[unborn wind]

yeah i was kinda giving him some grace cuz i assumed when he started he would be only going for the gods themselves but idk if thats actually true

hes an evil motherfucker for sure but he does have morals (however skewed they may be) and even in the state hes in now where hes wracked by guilt he still thinks of himself as having been a "hero worthy of the dragons' name" at one point

[spring helm]

he's not worthy anymore because he's not strong enough to kill xeroc

[pliant ruin]

Keep in mind gods didn't deserve to be genocided btw

GOds are not inherently evil

Some of them are ofc but in the same way not all humans r good or evil

I think the best way to show how truly insane yharim was is the fact he

[unborn wind]

oh for sure i was more talking like, from his point of view since he believes all gods are complicit in genocide. not that that makes it okay to genocide them back but

[pliant ruin]

incinerated the sunken sea, which resulted in
-the death of probably thousands, if not millions, of innocents
-the extinction of god knows how many native species and ecosystems
-the destruction of one of the biggest source of freshwater in the entire continent to other civilizations

all

to kill two people

who weren't even bad guys

just because they were gods

[unborn wind]

jesus yeah i kinda forget sometimes jsut the sheer scale of that

[spring helm]

that's a bit disingenuous, cheese

[pliant ruin]

oh yes of course

[spring helm]

he wanted those ilmerans dead too, they weren't unintended casualties

[feral skiff]

What even is the world the player starts in, like there’s no way all of the lore just fits there, like is it a bigger part of something else?

[pliant ruin]

i have to include the fact he used a mentally scarred and manipulated child soldier for it

[unborn wind]

YEAH

obviously its not objectively the worst thing he did but for some reason its the thing that gets me the most that he would try and make calamitas kill her father just because he defected

[pliant ruin]

It's a bigger part of smth else

Our "world" ingame is just, a continent

[spring helm]

we play on one continent

[pliant ruin]

Yeah,,

[feral skiff]

Ahh okay, i see. I figured it was something like that

[spring helm]

"Calamitas, I need your power once more."

"What is it, my Lord?"

"Your father has defected."

"I see. You wish for me to bring him back, then?"

"No. I want you to kill him."

"Huh?"

[pliant ruin]

i NEED you to kill your father calamitas you don't understand

[feral skiff]

Who even is Yharim and why is the goal of the player just to battle with him

[pliant ruin]

it's for the good of the crusade

[pliant ruin]

He's the main villain

Kind of a bad guy

[spring helm]

he's the guy who's talking to you through the boss lore items

[pliant ruin]

The goal of the player is up to ur own interpretation since the terrarian isn't a solidified character as much as a blank template

before anyone does it, don't

[unborn wind]

i know you're still grieving the loss of your family to this day but can you pretty pretty please kill your father figure... For Me?

[pliant ruin]

pwetty please 🥺

[spring helm]

"Calamitas, I know you're traumatized by the fact that your power accidentally killed your biological family, to the point that you summon your brothers in battle through necromancy.

Can you go kill your adopted dad on purpose this time? Thanks."

[unborn wind]

thats another thing i wonder about the way the brothers died isnt like. for sure canon yet right. i kind of thought they might have been killed by gods/god worshippers because then it'd make sense why calamitas was so batshit while in yharims army and so willing to kill peopel for him

[spring helm]

Calamitas blew up the city they lived in when she unlocked her powers

[pliant ruin]

They were killed either by the brimstone elemental or calamitas herself (accidentaly) during their fight as far as we know

Thing is, there's rumours brimmy was awoken by a group of people, so technically still possible

[unborn wind]

ah yeah ive seen poeple talking about that but wasnt sure if it was canon or a theory

[glacial rampart]

i was about to say it then i saw this 😭

Hi DS

Hey uh

Do we know if distortion creatures have DNA?

[pliant ruin]

Nope

I assume not

[soft geyser]

I mean we know some of them do like weaver

[pliant ruin]

oh wait true

wait actually do we

does draedon explicitly talk about storm weaver's dna being what makes it different from dog or does he just deduce so from them looking different i forgot

[real silo]

basic x-rays proved that their endoskeletons were entirely different, and the difference in size tells all else needed. In fact, from what little I have grasped about both Serpents' biology, the Storm Weaver may have been older than the Devourer despite the sheer difference in power and size.

nothing about dna

So does anyone know the Wall of Flesh lore for the new lore as well as the Guides tie to it?

I think I remember it traps the Gods essence to prevent it from corrupting the world further but how was it made?

[humble fog]

It is in the pins for the most part

[stark basalt]

Gotcha

[limpid saddle]

Crazy how the two solidified facts we have about The Terrarian are:
-They're really good at killing things
-They're very bad at giving names to the things they kill

& this makes me question, how many boss names did the Terrarian themselves come up with?

Did they invent Skeletron?

[robust osprey]

probably

skeletron was just a random curse that the cultists gave to fucking chippy

[limpid saddle]

Then doth come the second question

which actually came first

Skeletron

Or Skeletron Prime

[robust osprey]

[limpid saddle]

[real silo]

Skeletron

It's obvious

We encountered skeletron first before skeletron prime

[sinful adder]

Most likely the curse came first, then it's host, then skeletron prime

But not sure

[robust osprey]

maybe skeletron prime have another name but it's like

[sinful adder]

Old man might be immortal

[robust osprey]

LK638NX

or some shit like that

[sinful adder]

It has a serial number or something yeah

[real silo]

It's HF-smthsmth

[robust osprey]

and we aint calling it like that

[real silo]

H as in hallowed

F as in fright

[sinful adder]

Skeletron prime was made for the crusade, so at most about 80 years ago

[robust osprey]

so the terrarian just connected the dots with skeletron and prime

[sinful adder]

We could have exact dates if I remembered where to find the dates given by draedon about beginning to work with yharim

[frigid sage]

Why did the Terrarian name Plantera Plantera?

[sinful adder]

The old man could be basically any age up to 1000 years old if his curse kept him alive, that's around the age of the dragon cult

[frigid sage]

Is they stupid?

[pliant ruin]

i mean tbf we dont know if

the terrarian named it

but if they did maybe they rly like the band idk

[frigid sage]

Ok

[robust osprey]

mf named a random giant worm "eater of worlds"

not even "devourer of gods" can eat a world

[sinful adder]

This just reminded me that the name "devourer of gods" is based on the name "eater of worlds"

[split pewter]

how does draedon talk?

doing some VA stuff and i’m trying to figure out how i should write dialogue and read the lines

draedon is such a hard character to read figuratively and literally

casual inflections seem to work best but it’s very difficult to nail down any exact stuff

some of his dialogue seems introspective but only after extreme circumstances

[robust osprey]

probably like some professional scientist pulling out complex words

but I dont really know

[light linden]

speaker

oh wait do you mean tone and stuff like that?

[robust osprey]

probably yeah

[split pewter]

maybe but draedon wouldn’t throw all the technobabble at the player unless it’s during draetalk

[robust osprey]

maybe when he is chill like in draetalk

and in the exos fight he is like testing out an experiment without talking too technical to the player

[split pewter]

wish i could send images here but it’s just text so

which one of these is better for pre-fight dialogue:

The time has come for us to finally meet.
From all my observation, you have been identified as a statistical anomaly.
As such, I deem you worthy of being my primary test subject.
I have already made all necessary preparations for the battle, but you alone shall determine the outcome.
Now, choose wisely…

I expected that we would finally meet.
Your profound desire for battle has not gone unnoticed.
To this end, I have gone through the process of assembling a battery of experiments.
It is time for you to face my magnum opera.
Now, choose wisely…

they need to be short so eloquence and structure were kinda sacrificed

[eager bluff]

id say the first

[limpid saddle]

Yeah first fits more

He never assembles anything for the terrarian, his creations are simply pointed in the direction of intriguing creatures

[split pewter]

in this context, they kinda are

[eager bluff]

for exos?

[robust osprey]

I prefer the first

[split pewter]

i can easily change it to like

“you shall undergo a battery of experiments”

[split pewter]

upcoming rework mod yes

i’m literally going caution to the wind at this point because i’m honestly freaking out and need to work on my voice acting immediately for various reasons

which means crowdsourced criticism

[limpid saddle]

The best kind

that has never gone wrong

ever

[light linden]

for tone he'd likely be monotone btw

[split pewter]

lmao no

[light linden]

robot

[split pewter]

already tried that, didn’t work

[limpid saddle]

yeah no way

[split pewter]

that’s why i’m panicking

[limpid saddle]

He still feels bro

[split pewter]

sounds awful so many weird reads

[robust osprey]

yeah I try to imagine a monotone tone and it doesnt look good

[limpid saddle]

Many people (me included) consider Samuel Hayden from the Doom series as a fitting voice for Dreadon

[light linden]

so do I and my voice is monotone as fuck

[eager bluff]

clinical but not necessarily monotone

[limpid saddle]

He's a robot guy but he has an interesting voice

There's depth it isn't just machine but there's a comparison to be made between both characters

[split pewter]

yup that’s my next plan

[limpid saddle]

One opened a portal to hell (for science) the other dumped an excessive amount of toxic waste in an already irradiated area & developed a nanotech plauge that threatened to subsume the world (for science)

they are both coldly logical & amorally driven by the pursuit

but there's a passion to it

[split pewter]

i’m gonna be waking up at like 6:00 AM on a sunday in a cold sweat immediately running to my computer and starting to write more

wait no today is sunday

man shit it’s tomorrow already?

[limpid saddle]

That's crazy

it's been sunday for 7 hours over here

[deft valve]

yes they were very original when writing him

[limpid saddle]

do you think if they met they would kiss or try to trap the other in a test tube to study them

[deft valve]

gay

[crystal pendant]

These arent mutually exclusive

[sinful adder]

@split pewter draedon's canon voice is that one ultra kill guy, and for his dialogue read the stuff in game

[limpid saddle]

*the closest we have to canon

he did one trailer we dont know if gianni's in it for thr long haul

[sinful adder]

No, on Twitter when they had the half canon questions, Draedon said that's his voice

Or that he copied it or something

[light linden]

it is canon

What do you think guys how insane is calclone and in what way is she

[limpid saddle]

I'm placing my bets on hallucinations & psychosis

[timber pond]

During jungle dragons fight, there’s a guy singing, he sings of some “i” dude, who is the Singer supposed to be? The dragon or the terrarian?

Or some third npc?

There’s also a line from the song where he goes “this is my message to my master” who is master even?

[untold oracle]

The singer is yharon

The message is for Yharim

[limpid saddle]

yeah it's pretty clear

The song is literally called 'Roar Of The Jungle Dragon' & contains the lyrics 'then you will have heard my final dying roar'

[split mortar]

Thw singer is yharon
Their master is yharim
The person that destroyed everything they built is you

[untold oracle]

I think the demolishing everything isn’t really accurate anymore

Considering the crusade was long gone already

[timber pond]

Never knew the title, I just Dodge his attacks to listen to the Music, or his box

[limpid saddle]

Well Yharim & Yharon still had the hopes of reviving the dragons

[untold oracle]

No

That was the dragon cult

The yhs wanted to avenge dragons

[limpid saddle]

[split mortar]

Yharim bringing back the era of the dragons would mean yharon alone rules the earth

Not earth

Terraria

[rotund shore]

the dragon cult is coping hard tbh

[manic coral]

Yeah pretty much

[limpid saddle]

hi cei

[untold oracle]

Why didn’t the dragon cult just get Yharon to revive the dragons for them? Are they stupid?

[limpid saddle]

we were talking about calamitas clone, until we weren't

[limpid saddle]

probably yeah

[rotund shore]

I do honestly want more info on the cultists, and I assume the lunatic cultist bestiary will be rewritten in SSO

Yeah all bosses are getting changed bestiary’s iirc

[manic coral]

What's up

[limpid saddle]

I want more info on Calamitas Clone

[untold oracle]

Do you think calclone is insane in like schizoid type way or in excessive agression or something else

Dragonfolly itself isn't, but its species originated in the Draconic Era

[split mortar]

I doubt the specific boss is, but the species is

[lyric turtle]

Ok

[limpid saddle]

How much do you guys think Calamitas Clone's lore will be expanded upon with her rework?

[sudden ruin]

isnt it already there kinda

the lore

just the boss doesnt make sense with its sprite and stuf rn

[limpid saddle]

i said expanded upon not explained

we know what happens i want details, the whys & hows, her cognitive workings

[limpid saddle]

possibly her future

[split mortar]

-# we kill her…

[untold oracle]

In my story she won’t be killed but she’s just left alone with her grief

[limpid saddle]

that might get retconned

we dont knowb

[split mortar]

That is very unlikely

The new writers are quite against retcons and rewrites

[limpid saddle]

we dont know

[dusk laurel]

Nope

We kill

Shrimple as that

[split mortar]

It could get rewrote

But that’s super unlikely

[manic coral]

Murder

[light linden]

hi cei

[untold oracle]

Cei that is very irresponsible

[wheat walrus]

with the power of The Number 1, The Goat; LeBron James, no one shall murder me

[manic coral]

god forbid women do anything

[wheat walrus]

god forbid women

🥰

[dusk laurel]

[light linden]

Hey cei could you please answer a question?

[faint plank]

this was the sign i needed 🙏

[light linden]

Actually stip you'd prolly be a better person to ask

What type of god do you think an auric soul of magnetism would create?

I was thinking of a god of wards but idk

[timber pond]

Asked earlier about Yharon song, now i got curious about calamitas song

You think calamitas is just such a powerful being that she has a background of choir people singing for her?

[split mortar]

The song isn’t accurate to lore so it’s not canon sadly

The lyrics mention her following yharim

When she abandoned him a decade ago and is attacking us cause she thinks we are yharim 2

[mighty zenith]

i also don't think the terrarian would sound like yharon

Mold Abuse

[limpid saddle]

Noooooo

[cosmic zenith]

Hmmm
Hard to write a specific domain that properly conveys their powers
But something like Attraction, Telekinesis, Voltage....

[light linden]

I was thinking something related to defense because of how magnetic fields protect planets

[split mortar]

Considering there’s multiple options
Maybe pick whatever fits the character ascending the most?

[cosmic zenith]

Correct

[cosmic zenith]

God of Forces (and by extent force fields)?

[split mortar]

God of the Force

Star Wars it

[deft vessel]

Magneto

[limpid saddle]

do you guys think Xeroc has a garden

[split mortar]

They could but I doubt they have a need for it

[limpid saddle]

Well obviously they don't need it

[hoary berry]

industrial weed farm

[limpid saddle]

It just feels like the kind of thing Xeroc would do

[split mortar]

True

[limpid saddle]

maintain a little garden, he seems pretty down to earth from his boss rush dialouge

[split mortar]

Just remembered the 24 hours of perm reactions this place had

Such peak

[split mortar]

And the terminus and rock tooltips also suggest that I think

[limpid saddle]

Yeah, so I can see him doing gardening

there's an obvious metaphorical through-line with his station as 'supreme number 1 god' & with a gardener, & the role of a gardener is yet a very humanizing thing

[spring helm]

Almighty Push

[hollow osprey]

i know he says "a god does not fear death" but is the dog an actual god? with noxus being a god, a god doesn't need to necessarily consume an auric soul right?

[indigo glade]

No, and Noxus isn't a God either.

[dusk laurel]

Nope, they do

All gods have consumed an auric soul

[mighty zenith]

FYI, Wrath of the Gods isn't canon

so the Noxus from the addon and Calamity's Noxus are two different things

[split mortar]

Noxus isn’t a god

God by definition means you have ascended using an auric soul

Because that’s how you become a god

[cloud ibex]

where else would they grow their weed

[mighty zenith]

the weed store, duh

[dusk laurel]

Dear lord

He's an Aureus again
