Lmao

There's more form er though
placidusax, fortisax, lanseax, senesax
Chrysophylax from Farmer Giles of Ham
might've fucked up the spelling but those are the ones i could think of
Which is the one I was thinking of, along with Placidusax
Fortissax was the other one I knew but forgot about
Dragon of lumberjacks
Placidusax is a funny man
Placidusax is honestly the best dragon
gonna call omni to lobby for fatalis
fatalax...
Yeah, he is indeed the best dragon but I mean't the dragons he listed before lol
ok fair
Sennesax is the worst tho
š¤ š„
Well I guess Placi does look like Cooler White Fatalis, but White Fatalis is the only Fatalis I kinda just dislike idk doesn't sit right with me
Didn't even need to ping
Besides, while Fatalis is literally The Dragon⢠there are many other cool dragons
The omni stands for omnipresent
both
omnipresentcient
sap
Here with another question. If it does not fit with Lore discussion and needs to be moved to somewhere else just point me in the direction of the channel.
But I know Goozma is fan content (I believe at least)
However what exactly is Goozma? Are they the slime god? Also whats up with the eye? I see similaritys to Xeroc and Noxus obviously but does that mean Goozma has ties to either? Do all gods have an "Eye of [Insert deity here]"
Eventually slime god and provi will get their own sigils
uh goozma is like an auric dragon (has an auric soul) except the body is a slime
Noxus' sigil is just something silly that the fandom folks made to contrast xeroc's sigil
Fucking
Lo
L
Lmao

Fucking
Laughing out
Loser
Laughing my ass off
loser indeed
Damn
Good morning everyone! I'm interested in compiling a lore video around Calamity and was curious if everything canon is available in game or if there are outside sources to reference.
Almost everything is in game, all in game lore can be found in the lore document in the pins
There are a few tid bits that arenāt ingame yet
-# also a bunch of old lore is still around, so for the time being lore doc is a more pure source then in game since outdated stuff is still ingame:(
does the distortion creatures classified as primordials or are they aliens
The fucks a primordial
Well the Distortion is an impossible plane of fucked up folded space
Iām thinking aliens would be the better descriptor
Itās hard to call them primordials when we donāt know how long theyāve been around
So hypothetically it could've existed for only 32 years or so, or potentially older than all known forces of the universe
we shrimply dont know
Its older then god era
Cv is older then god era
Wonderful, thank you!
CV i think dates back to at minimum
golden age of dragons
The spoiler document in #calamity-update-talk has some yet to be ingame bestiary entries btw
As long as it's a first party source and not full of speculation I am happy to use it. I try not to get into theory when I do lore covers so i'm looking forward to looking it over.
The bestiarys are spoiled from the lore devs so yeah it is directly from source

Follow up question, aside from calamity itself, are any of the add on mods considered canon and to be treated as such? I know there are some considered "official" and not but I wasn't sure if that just qualified them as okayed by the devs.
The only official addon is vanilla calamity music mod iirc
So no addon changes the lore
Wonderful, thank you.
three separate xeroc-related things i could be adding to and i have ideas for none of them
I know it's a very silly question, but
What is the lore reasoning for NPCs only selling specific items on specific moon phases?
Maybe its cause wherever theyre getting or making stuff they only get it around that time and in low supply
Also this
Me with 44k headcanons at the ready
if i had tro guess
its just, a gimmick
to attract customers
atleast in most cases
like wow come buy this limited edition thing!
Or laws in place being weird
Most likely thing imo
I was planning to if you elaborate a bit more on it
Ah wait
Sscls?
join us
Join us
Cal lore server
Secret>:(
You're a secret
oh that sounds cool
-# Omni gave you a invite in dms i think
wait there's a cult
Secret:3
rip
does this stand for 'super secret calamity lore server'
Noh :3
i'll take that as a yes
that's hard
very
thou seem qurious
for some reason I read that as queerish
I'm trying to think of hair sprays that start with L but I'm drawing a blank
but yes
š„
mission accomplished

That's awesome :D
You can let me know if you have any questions
oooh
havent seen a proper lore video yet
they probably do exist tho
There is information we shared outside the game, but we have the strict rule that nothing outside the game is canon so
You could consider some things canon because they're planned to be added, but for the purpose of a lore video, it's best to stick to the game
is the old ones army canon
No
Crossover and dedicated content isn't canon
Thats the plan, find a market that isn't tapped and fill the niche š
Ah alright
first off
good banner
second off
yeha basically what stip (vetrasyl) said
there are some kinda small things that have been said but nothing major
and those said smaller things are subject to change so
yeah best to stick to the game
i just watched one by Teeduck and im still so confused
calamity mod
i meant confused about what exactly
Sounds good. š«” I appreciate the communication on the matter. I want to make sure it's as future proof as possible
killed by the god of sacrifice and resurrected into the ravager?
that was one of the things I think mentioned in here at some point idk I wasn't there
yeha no ti will be, ever since the writing team changed we basically agreed to no major rewrites
because old lore had. issues with that.
Old lore kept changing
(most of the lore being in discord messages)
though also DO note that although nothing will change
plenty more WILL be added
a lot more has waited to be added becuase of Sunken Sea Overhaul taking a long time
like i right now am in the middle of massively expanding and overhauling dialogue for calamity town NPCs
yeah and theres some thing about "the kingdom of ilmeris"
yeah
where msot of what new the desert is and also the sunken sea
the city itself was basically entirely incinerated but
the sunken sea, its outskirts, still exist
awesome
like, straight up making dialogue trees and shit
Super excited to see what you guys got cut off. I'll definitely be sure to mention that the story isn't finished and plans to have additions, leaves a good follow up for a down the road finale overview
is Cal going to acknowledge Perma's existence now
yes
i was just about to ask that
her not doing that is a handover form old stuff
ah
I've never noticed how many reactions I use in conversations until I join a server that doesn't allow them haha.
and sitll hasn't been corrected because new npc stuff wasnt done for Bountiful Harvest
she's like just straight up a bitch to him currently iirc
her dialogue is pretty bitchy in general
last i checked there's jsut
minimal adknowedgment
our priority was removing anythign that straight up contradicted new canon
she does acknowledge him a bit but yea its part of old lore since they barely knew each other then
didnt permafrost work with draedon AND yharim and he just aint talking about it
.

yeah he did before
bountiful harvest being the last major update
what the hell
yeah they split up
did anyone else see that or did my computer just spaz out
Calamity players will never beat the can't read allegations
no jsut a bot's message getting autodeleted
envoy of the devourer and its consequences on the calamity community
yeah i have messageLogger that was a hacked account
alr
see what 
I can't wait for people to come in here and complain why Signus has a new title
Oh man, this curse shall follow me to any fandom I try to clear up lore for....
Nah I wasn't referring to you
I think the internet just needs prescription glasses
"Wait Weaver isn't DoG's kid?"
"DoG didn't create Ceaseless?"
"Why is Signus not DoG's envoy?"
and many more
Every fandom has poor reading comprehension I feel
I know, I used to make content for Project Moon games and that was basically a tagline for the fandom.
"Why is Calamitas so depressed all of a sudden"
||undertale pfp moment||
Did you just say
True
Project Moon

It's really only bad when they can't read and still act like know it alls lol
here it comes
honestly i hate the archmage now like he just doesnt wanna say anything
Uh oh
Project moon mentioned
Run from the cheese
.
The dialogue being rewritten in question
Well
Uh
He getting an entire dialogue system in sso1
Love the setting, can't stand the (majority) of the fanbase š
And the other cal npcs
i know!!!! thatll be great!!!!
yaey
more depressed dialogue lines
what is this potato


Undertale fans are some of the best people at being confidently incorrect itās so amusing
I think I do grasp UTs story and contents better then said people, atleast
Dragon ball fans
Iāve played the game which is more then some
they gaslighted everyone into thinking "sans has pink slippers" and now he officially does
Yeah I aired my frustration with the PM fanbase then someone pointed out that's almost all fandoms and it softened the blow for me lol
Sans having pink slippers is still non canon due to merch not being canon but it has been acknowledged due to that
oh yeah well if merch isnt canon why did toby remove the gaster tarot card from that one thing!!!!!
Lots of anger and people not reading and making shit up
My countries reading comprehension continues to dwindle....
tbh thats a case of "its fanon but tbh its basically official by this point"
Gaster is funny since we donāt technically know mystery man is gaster
but theres also the crowd of people who are dead set on the fact gaster has nothing to do with deltarune
i thought you said "duel that" which is why i brought it up lmao i thought you wanted a rebuttall
which
is just being ignorant as hell
Itās so funny
calamity lore became undertale lore
Btw the Sunken Sea and Brimstone Crags Overhauls will add a lot of lore about Calamitas and her home city
happens a lot here
content drought and all
Good point
Undertale is funny because it has various things to say about the idea of canonicity and plays with the line between player and character. I don't think it's a good point of comparison. It also has a much larger fanbase total.
Scope creep and its consequences
Like when mystery guy took over tobys twitter, THATSBSO CLEARLY GASTER
Nobody else says āVery, very interestingā like that
deltarune has knight
redacted character might be gaster
redacted character go in stable
deltarune is chess pieces
knight is horse chess piece
horse go in stable
gaster is knight
gg ez
the song called "Another Him" literally referencing gaster's theme in both name and motif
like its so fucking obvious
Btw survey program (OG deltarune release) is version 0.666 because of course it is
I actually don't think Toby fox cares even a smidgen about gaster. He's just messing with us, I don't think it's gonna be important. I could be wrong but Toby is absolutely the type to do that
Why is gaster associated with 666, is he satan
no hes not
Toby is the type to mess around but he's not scott cawthon
This
he doesnt do red herrings that lead to a nothingburger
Scott Cawthon and his effects on people
There's like a bajillion things hidden in the game files with obvious and direct connections to something called gaster.
I think i'll wait to publish a compilation of lore until a major release so it's not immediately out of date lol (but that engagement potential... /s)
Iāve considered stirring the pot by asking yāall who you think the āWhat do you two think?ā Line gaster has is referring to
But I feel like thatād be too much
Purple guy = light orange guy
SSO is coming up
i dont care im starting anyway
personally its alphys and sans
though tbh it could very well be sans and papyrus, papy isnt dumb
So if you want you could wait for a couple months
Those things hidden in the game files have all the same attributes as a mystery character that was on his Twitter once
"Mods awake, change channel name" moment
Scott cawthon did that cause he was a bad writer. Toby is doing it because he's a great and hilarious writer. In my opinion. Again, we'll just have to see.
And also as the guy in the intro
Iāve had the crack pot theory that itll be revealed he said that to Kris and Susie but thatās mostly a shitpost
gaster quit his job as the royal scientist due to underwhelming pay from King Asgore
although working for a government facility he died shortly after and his death was ruled as a suicide
Inflation is rising and gasters pay was not matching that and when attempting to leave his job after refusal of a raise. he was 86'd by the government
gaster reflects real life wage disaparity in government officials
when has toby ever done something like that though
no way
With my adhd and motivation issues it'll probably take me that long anyway lol
Sans and alphys is far more sensible in terms of UT characters

that would actually be kinda awesome hold on
We can infer that alot of entry 17 is talking about a dark fountain
āDarker, yet darkerā āPhoton readings negativeā
imagine if entry 17 is actually his pre-battle/cutscene dialogue
Delt a rune
And fountains cause darkness to spill
Seems like negative light to me
Is gaster like actually just hiding in that bunker in hometown
We dunno afaik
has to be right
a gay dinosaur replaced gaster in the government job with a more public approach. the government focusing on inclusivity shunned a great scientist who just needed more money. It is shown alphys is a corporate shill as she cannot make good amalgamations. this is why king asgore reflects big corporations
Aight lads/ladies/everything inbetween, i'm hitting the road. Was fun chatting here.
the working theory is that its dess and gaster
Since you get the funny gaster noises if you speed up the sound in that room
Bye bye
cya
who tf snores like that lmao gaster needs an inhaler
And also itās weird spooky shit so it has to be gaster 
Bye bye
Good luck with that vid
???
The royal scientist
you know if i finish basic NPC dialogue i might try to convince other devs to let us release a patch for it. we could call it a pyapch
wing g
YEAAA
Peak

i was asked to do it first
Fai
its not as funny
Based Cei
"Pyaptch Patch" would go hard though
The notion of Chara being the person who made gaster āfall into his creationā is funny but why the FUCK would they do that
witch doctor is a lihzahrd and i think lihzahrds have smth to do with ravager
d'you think we could get a smidgen of lore about that from the witch doctor šš
Why do lihzahrds do stuff with ravager
Old lore they created Ravager
i eman ravager does have relevance to a jungle. just not THAT jungle.
Oh
A jungle???
If jungle is so good whereās jung2
šļø
audio jungle
idk if they're related but they share a temple and cosigning a mortgage like that requires lots of thought beforehand. so they gotta be mutuals at MINIMUM
Whar
Ravager is going to be made post providence and not golem2 in the future
Maybe crags overhaul
Did you know ravager is getting completely overhauled
Like most of ravager's content is getting changed
yeah he wont be a golem ripoff with unoriginal music soon
the one in Ibipaua
Including any remaining links to the Jungle Temple
are you calling open frenzy unoriginal...
The music staying afaik
Wdym unoriginal music
it's sort of awkward talking about lore when the answer to everything is "that's going to be overhauled".
you shall be brewed into a jug of stink potion
OK BEFORE I GET SHOT
i like how lore has advanced so much that i cna jsut say something like this
so like
its not even everything tho
and it'll mean fucking nothing to anybody here
like a small part of it
Welcome to unfinished projects
aka the stuff that doesnt make sense
Itās so funny yeah
open frenzy just doesnt relate to the ravager
how ??
how
elaborate
?
Yāall have this lore and I donāt even know how to pronounce it
I say it like law
lorea'l
lor
Loreful said like lawful
Like Lor Starcutter
I also just remember too much stuff that was overhauled. And also some of the stuff that doesn't make sense and is totally out of left field is, regrettably, vanilla content.
sorry its midnight and im dying
BRB listening to open frenzy
vanilla content is itegrated just fine overall imo
though maybe i'm biased
You shall be spared
i mean it has nothing to do with aztec stuff and flesh and cults
Vanilla bestairy hasnt been rewrit

It's integrated well when it can be, but there's still all three invasions which are kind of out of nowhere.
A lot of names for songs feel like they could be swapped.
Why is "open frenzy" not for a sea related enemy? Feels strange.
what???

how does open frenzy relate to the sea
no but the ravager is essentially a rampaging corpse
probably thinking of like
cause it sounds like "open sea"?
Its the song for a zombie god that goes on a frenzy and kills everything it canā¦
a frenzy of sharks
I. guess it sounds kind of like a play on "open sea"?
ok that feels like the song i can relate those together
wtf is that the actual name
thats just kinda dumb lmao
Maybe I'm stupid but I hear frenzy I think "feeding frenzy" like sharks, and open sea. Maybe I'm stupid.
yeah
its an unintentional pun
And you are ravagers prey essentially
and even then its barely a pun
also rmemeber these song names were made YEARS before the new writing team
it should be called like quetzalsomething and there should be like creepy throatsinging in the back
we did out best to make sure they all make sense
yea its just
ravager is on a frenzy and is out in the open world
But why
its an aztec? death cults reanimated leader
the obvious one
Murderswarm dragonfolly swarm when
tbh the song barelt fits the boss fight considering how stationary ravager is
I forget is ravager still gonna be a surface boss in rework
Not confirmed
its just a fucking BRICK
there was not death cultno
oh
i meant to make thjose two different messages
Undergroud
Makes sense gotcha
In a building close to crags iirc
Ravager is the reanimated corpse of the god of sacrifices
In a pre-gened arena
i was gonna bring up murderswarm but i also speed blitzed that fight so maybe dragonfolly does some swarm stuff in the 90% of the health bar that went down in the first few seconds
the DRAGON he took the auric soul from was the Dragon of Death
it summons its young to fight you
yeah
so it fits
that makes sense
It spawns minibosses
Battle birth
it has followers I think
well the god had a religion
But not a death cult
now one you CAN critisize us for i supposed is Roar of the Jungle Dragon
but to be frank
also servants of the scourge
we saw no way to keep yharon realting to the jungle and still make sense
also ok that one too
It is the god of sacrifices, yes people sacrificed their lives to bring it back but that was in absolute desperation
We dunno if they were suiciding in their gods bame before that
its also way too iconic
Why did Yharon get unjungled?
and to be fair
sacrificing for a god idk man kinda death cultish
SotS is too connected to DoG and plays into the thing of them being DoG's lackeys
more people know the song than calamity itself
if i could change names of stuff in cla already
š
i'd change a multitude
plot twist: Noxus was the "Scourge" all along, not DoG
shhhh
The lore item for ravager is funny to me since itās fucking worthless
All the good lore for ravager is in the bestiary
honestly neither is weaver
this still wouldnt make sense
and not even signus actually
you're ruining my point
In a world where that can literally make spells stronger, its not as illogical
š¤«
Mod wars
fair
i'm putting aureus in the woodchipper
the consequences of me not being sure what i was doing when i was like the only actual writer and starting the first big project i ever worked on
Lmao understandable
he's not made of wood idiot
Fly of Beelzebub⦠Draedon is Beelzebub?!
Metal chipper
š„
me when the fly is a bee...
It flies
Its causes plagues
Cei are there any plans for the RoK bosses to get new themes
what bosses
rune of kos bosses
hire sidetracked š
Mark of providence guys
Shut up
i think thats what RoK means i just took a guess
Not even renamed in public yet
risk of krain
Yes
cei i respect you so much as a writer not only because of your talent but also because you have the good will to just go "yeah... i fucked up gang" AND have a kind mod team backing you that will implement your un-fuck ups
SotS is actually Skibidis of the Sigma now
I am killing you
where did the name xenqiterthralyensyr come from (wrath of the gods)
š„
Whayruat
yeah like i'll admit. i kinda fucked up a bit in places becuase i wasn't entirely sure what i was doing yet. if i could go back, there's stuff i'd certainly do better or change.
but, hey
Whuh
i'm learning
a what
And a couple lore items are getting edited
You mean Xeroc?
So that fixes it
good too learn before i start my own project too anyways so
Wotg is not canon fyi
stroke ?
oh yeah ik
Ah ok
Xeroc is a name he chose right
-# weird amount of people think it is
WotG is entirely its own thing made by totally different people yeah
Also ND is not Xeroc
Its a mix of zeratros and their name before ascending
mura and his consequences...
its the name of a painting of nameless deity and idk if it means anything or someone just smashed their keyboard for a cool painting name
It's a reimagination of old lore Xeroc
it is?
Yeah
yeah it's literally a DBZ style fusion name
scott cawthon does that so idk probably
Thatās silly
why is RWQFSFASXC catching strays
the only criticisms i seriously have with calamity lore is the way progression just. struggles a bit to make sense.
But that's because terraria had a broken foundation in that sense
How whimsical
i know i just wanted to bring up shadow bonnie's name being a literal keyboard smash for no reason
i wouldn't say BROKEN, jsut ahrd to work with
and it NEVER CHANGED
gotta get creative with it
ITS JUST CANON
"kill this eye now kill this worm/brain now kill this bee now kill this wall now kill these giant robots ITS PLANT TIME!!!! WHO WANTS PLANT TIME!!!!!! aztec robot :3"
:33
Dont forget the nuked bee
robot :3 indeed
Bumblebirb is stronger than the zombie of an eldritch deity
i'd kill for cryogen to be after calclone for storytelling purposes
No it's not
its not a keyboard mash dude RWQFSFASXC implies he only smashed the left side of his keyboard
Ravager is post provi in power levels
swap folly and deus i think
Just not implemented ingame yet
Ravager will be made post providence
Moon Lord!
ok but left-side-of-keyboard smash isnt as simple to say
I meant moon lord!
this too yeah
Not a deity
Ah
Why did you call it a deity
Eldritch? Maybe, deity? No
yeah well neither is RWQFSFASXC
Eldritch horror*
It's basically an animal afawk
thats why i didnt say it 
yo imagine being a whole ass god and then you get scrapped and turned into a tiny cleaning device
haii
common Andromeda L
Androombas
also i enjoy that calamity not double, not triple, but quadrupled down on the "sea animal that is also a gun" bit that terraria set up
Goozma and Andromedaā¦
Lost but not forgottenā¦
Dumb question
I know obviously the enemies in the eclipse are non canon, but could the solar tablet item be a reasonably canon thing? Since I have some Headcanons and I wanna see how viable theyād be as anything meaningful
historians and dragon freaks cnaonically arguing what to call Dragonfolly
So real for that
im not suggesting anything but in getfixedboi they should totally have Goozma's Razor and then its just a bunch of slimes mashed together
or the biomes in the Ilmeran Sea that were incinerated being the ones that were cut from SSO
zoologist calling it a bumbling bird because she's just airheaded like that
Lmao rip them their ideas werenāt cool enough
beloved Iban concepts
ok so i was looking at the lore and i think im on to something
What were the scrapped SS biomes called btw
you'll see eventually
I know one was the shores
Place DS was from
But that's probably not the full name
And then there's that cool SS art Iban posted
who wins in a fight
zeratros
yharim
turkor the ungrateful
goozma
Goozma
Zeratros
Zeratros is slightly stronger than Yharim
And probably can attack from afar
Goozma is a old lore character who out did old lore yharim and iirc old lore was wacky stronger
Which Goozma is this
yeah but turkor is ungrateful think about it
Auric soul Goozma or creation god Goozma
Iām still genuinely upset that the āSlime God flees to fight another dayā¦ā line was only meant to prelude Queen Slime, a boss fought immediately after the Wall of Flesh
I actually thought at the time that Slime God was going to come back later and it was supposed to foreshadow Goozma retuning š
Turkor the ungrateful vs the lack of fucks i give
Turkor the removed
he almost ruined a national holiday dude its only fair
lepus wasnt much better
ungrateful for the home i've given him and the money i spent to give him a good life
little shit
yeah not even zeratros/goozma could do that
this clearly means that new lore is worse written
because it has overall weaker characters
exactly
Iām grateful that Hunt is as awesome as it is and fills the role of a good Goozma revival, but man
if your character cant destroy the universe then they're bad
What is new lore Goozma?
it isnt
_ _
There is not
š
Doesnāt exist
Noā¦
so it all starts with when nothing cuz he will never return!!!!!!
The "new" Goozma is the one in that addon
Its not worse
Which is not canon
i do think goozma could in theory exists in new lore if SG ever decided to lock the fuck in
but that's not gonna happen so
yes it is
yeha no sorry it's worse
Nuh uh
you're telling me a guy called "DEVOURER OF GODS" can't destroy the universe??
smh
Hunt of the Old God my beloved š
shit mod
I'd love to see a what-if story where that happens
yharim isn't shitdickballsversal 17D
calamity needs a rematch fight and fucking RAVAGER does not fill that space well
therfore it's bad
All Cal devs are omniversal
Wgat did old lore even scale to
Since they can do whatever they want in the world

Yharim slams his ass down on a chair and everyone in the room dies
i picked up a stick and called it "planet oblitherator" that means it can oblitherate planets
thats how it works right
i call this rock the aureus annihilator
dveourer of gods traveled a light year
stick beats rock
Ah so easily the fastest not instant moving got it
disagree! you explode now
Sticks are weak to fire

eater of ass
bigger stick
Sorry
a cockroach can survive a nuclear explosion. a person is over 100 times stronger than a cockroach and cna easily kill it. therfore, human > nukes
I will make you into an average-sized fish
if a falling star theoretically hit devourer of gods 1420 times he would die
noooglub glub glub
I shall name this piece of copper āOtherworldly Annihilatorā
you cannot die to falling stars even if you have no armor and no weapon
What type
base terraria player no items > devourer of gods on expert mode
irl or Cal
in cal
1420000 health in calamity expert only means you need 1420 stars to kill the boss
no thats me throwing rocks into space
The default canon is expert revaengence
theres a window
y
i eated the lock
I put a lock on your teeth
how would i take a shower if u locked me in...
Now you can't eat
Infernum looks so cool though
Me when addon
Not official and also based on old lore iirc
But yeah it does
That too
Speaking of infernum, I wish SCal and Exos got some bigger changes to their fights but it doesn't really matter and they're also not priority
Like the exo twins getting unlocked from the screen for most of their patterns, Thanatos having more attacks that aren't just lasers [smth like the mines in eternity thana that lucile made], Cal flamethrower, etc.
does the rune of kos mean anything or is it just a reference to bloodbornne kos (or some say kosm)
It's just a reference, and it's getting changed eventually
Lemme find the message
41 - Renamed Rune of Kos to Mark of Providence. - Done ā
oh nice ok
I know Mark Of Providence makes more sense but the Rune Of Kos is a cool enough name to justify stealing
Or at least the 'Rune Of' part
Rune of what........
Yeah
Reign of Yuri
it'd just summon me
it's a double cheese reference
yuri + roy

Could he maybe just be kind of a big fan of the jungle or something, like he used to hang out there a lot
Yharon, The Really Fond of The Jungle Dragon
At the end of the day there's still the problem that
Another Jungle thing
Yharim likes bees, bees live in the jungle, Yharon is connected to yharim, so yharon is connected to the jungle
There
?
Jungle is like
Ultra bloated to the point that Yharim's Jungle tyrant stuff was changed to just be a general tyrant without jungle ties
For reference, jungle has Queen Bee, Vernal Pass, Plantera, Braelor and Silva ties, Lihzahrds, Dragonfollies, and the Plague and it's associated content
There's a lot, even for vanilla Terraria š
Why does Yharim like bees?
Honeys
Honey is crystalized to make auric ore...
Is he still from the jungle in the new lore?
No
Ok
This probably #lore-discussion message
hmm
It would be best that Yharon isn't connected to a jungle since Ravager already is apparently is what I think Reb was trying to say
Apparently connected to a different jungle on another continent
Yeah
.
the Truffle should hate the ocean
there is literally a mushroom-loving species in its waters
that you literally use the same truffles he's made out of to attract
Good point
I wonder why they like a specific kind of mushroom considering mushrooms don't really grow in oceans
At least not much
But also, duke fishrons only seem to interact with truffle worms, specifically, not just any glowing mushroom thing
onl;y the finest cuisine
alright i wrote like 4 paragraphs of stuff today i thinkl thats fine
I wonder if the truffle man sees all the glowing mushrooms as his children, or if it's just specific ones, or otherwise what exactly he means by his quote about that
what if you throw the truffle into the ocean to summon duke fishron
You will summon super fishron
Old duke:
Joe Biden lookin ass
Don't disrespect the old man
āOld duke soundsā
is the sea king a merman?
or I should ask this: is all the merman in calamity the same species?
but cnidrion is a seahorse, right?
Ilmerans are a sapient set of creatures who all lived in Ilmeris that evolved to have human qualities, and used to have several tribes. We can infer the tribes had different fish origins due to the designs of the Ilmerans we have, that being the God of Seas (resembling an Anglerfish), Otonilou, the Goddess of Electricity (resembling a Jellyfish), and Amidias (resembling a Seahorse).
by "origins", you mean those people have fish ancestors?
okay all vertebrate have fish ancestors, but I mean closer ancestors
Yes.
None of it is ingame yet, but it was revealed to us that Ilmeran's origins are fish in nature, and not human.
(So fish getting human qualities, not humans getting fish qualities)
basically mermaids but male
Oh
Ok
gaymaids
potentially
hiii
was it revealed otonilou's species specifically is jellyfish turned humanoid
because i proposed a headcanon that otonilou's species is the one that's specifically the opposite because it has way too many direct human traits to be descended from a invertebrate let alone a jellyfish
and reb thought it was plausible iirc so
Haii
hihi
I don't think we have any confirmation yet
Probably? But idk
I personally think Ilmerians are magical on some capacity and it's at the least exhaustive to approach it from a purely biological perspective
Do they have an evolutionary history? Yes, I think so
Is their existence entirely governed by real-life phylogenetic mechanics? Almost certainly no
There's also the fact that "Ilmerian" is a lot more of an ethnicity than it is a species
honestly i think every illmeran species except for otonilou's could reasonably have evolved from fish, magic or not
atleast from what we've seen
Otonilou's species almost certainly isn't the only one to be that human
See Ilmerian OC Contest
Does this also apply to the crags enemy contest, since some of those might not contradict the new lore
That, I don't know
i mean
amidias
is kinda proof
lmao
i find it interesting he can just..
breathe on land
no problem
i do want to address that in a line or two
is there any theme at all to the dragon's domains?
because between the dragons and gods, we know:
1.Life
2.Death
3.Rebirth
Ok cool we have a theme here
4.Light
OK that fits well enough with the above 3
5. Fire
Different elements could also make sense so if we're counting the typical idea of the 4 classical elements + light and dark, AND we have the life death rebirth trinity, this all makes sense
6. ...slime...?
nah there was no dragon of slime
SG's domain was derived from Gluttony
there was also a dragon of Gravity
There's also frost
There is no specific theme other than just, things that are part of the world
the closest to a "theme" there is is that dragon domains are less specific than godly domains
where did frost and gravity come from? not mentioned in game yet or did i miss smth?
not mentioned in game yet
i think Frost is intended for a separate addon, not the base mod?
nah
Nah Frost is a base mod thing
The addon makes it a boss and god
youre gonna be able to find its corpse
right
thats really cool and will definitely add to the environmental storytelling
there is definitely a part of me that is deeply annoyed at there not being a theme for the dragons but i know that thats a part ill have to sacrifice to become a better writer. i just like sets so much. i like putting things in neat boxes
The theming is things that are major to the world
The dragons got their auric souls from the fragments of the world soul, and thus things major to the world (death,life,sunlight,rebirth) and gods are the ones with less specified domains iirc
Also yeah correct with life, death and rebirth being themed, hell frim dev statements we know the first three dragons to get their auric souls
First was life
Second was death
Third was rebirth
So yeah its kinda based on living, dying then being reborn
now im gonna be churning my brain for what "important to the world" could mean as a criteria
Dragon of Barbecue Bacon CheeseBurger
Peak honestly
Hi, I'm back to the Calami-Family
Hai
calamily
calamari
clamity
Calamari
hello people i've got a question
uelibloom:
What is it? Is it really just fossilized tree bark?
How is it so strong?
Why is it locked behind providence?
Uelibloom is tied to silva and is old lore iirc, currently its the solidified god essence of providence
Its going to be replaced with profaned ore and gear to make this more obvious and have some change in functionality iirc
But we know what it is as i had said before which is its providences god essence
Yeah its just a portal
eldritch demon portal simply exists with the casual statement "oh yeah the devourer is a little piss baby compared to the guy standing behind him" and we're just meant to sit and wait around like thats not horrifying
It attacks us cause self defence spells put on it by lunatic cultist
The fight being so strong because the portal has like post yharim or something levels of energy in it super charging the spells
Oh yeah btw
The dungeon fucks with souls according to dev statements
So yeah, maybe theres a reason polter never left and i think ceaseless is why souls get attracted to the dungeon
-# the normal afterlife for people may actually just be being used as fuel for noxus or something
noxus?
Post yharim pre xeroc super boss
The boss of dog and creator of ceaseless void
Capable of the most destruction out of any character but worse in 1v1 fights then xeroc iirc
Its likely whats getting the god essence dog eats
Which god essence being soul relatedā¦
Yeah i dont see it a far stretch to think noxus is messing with normal souls
ok so its going to be ten trillion years before this mod is complete
thats what im hearing
Lol
Exactly
genuinely what's the estimation? i havent been around long enough to see the rate at which calamity updates.
there isnt one
devs dont set deadlines (which is partially why sso is taking so long)
sso?
well id say 7-8 for yharim ti be released
Thiugh idk maybe earlier, sso is rather large a update compared to the other planned ones
sunken sea overhaul
i see
next update
im not expecting a deadline i was just thinking that The People probably have an idea. though... 7 to 8 years. damn. There are people entering college right now who will celebrate earning their PhD by beating yharim if that's accurate (and i have no reason to believe it is not)
(aside from the fact that i have no reason to believe it is other than trust in my fellow man)
Ill say all the updates i know olanned off the top of my head
i believe after the scope creep nightmare of SSO they'll tone it down for future updates so theyre more consistent
Sunken sea overhaul part 1
Sunken sea overhaul part 2
Brimstone crags overhaul
Distortion update (entire subworld)
Yharim update
When was SSO announced?
we'd better
like the closest they have to a deadline is the "limit" of how long an update should take to produce
entire subworld? they're adding a goddamn nether portal to terraria!?!
Ceaseless is already in the game lol
Its already there
Lagā¦
Explodes you with my mind
You enter via ceaseless
š
Violentillin
so i imagine distortion would have this "noxus" character that i've been told exists, where would Jimmy Bob Xeroc come in?
Post post post game
We not sure
We just know xeroc and noxus will be post yharim and xeroc post noxus
Xeroc update in 2 decades
sidenote: imagine devourer of gods with a stereotypical 1920s goon voice (since he's noxus's goon)
EY ITS NOT OVA YET
DID DAT 'URT?
Lol
Considering the what if cei wrote
Yeah i think we correctly guessed xeroc protects the world from threats
Me when no minor updates are mentioned
Profaned biome i think is in crags
Perrenial idk, thought it would be oart of a big update
What is Perennial update?
perennial biome
Oh
im wondering how the tone will carry on past yharim. He's The Guy. He's Him. Everything you do and see and fight is because of him.
Whatās in it?
Thatās all we know?
Yes
āEverything you doā
The terrarian being your own oc:
Insert terrarian image here
why is this white guy pointing and laughing at me
The majority is cause of him but there are a few unrelated to yharim
Like moonlord
Or duke fishron
Or folly
Anahita and Levi as well right?
me when providence was caused by yharim
Cei is burning through her lifespan as we speak writing the lore
They are out of the abyss cause yharim threw silva in there
It might arguably be cause yharim to an extent
once you beat yharim, you'd crown yourself Ruler. You've done it. The three routes of calamity that i've identified for you to make your story are:
- Continuing Yharim's work
- Avenging the gods
- selfishly grasping for power
I feel like only #3 really works post-yharim. but if yharim is meant to be "The End" and the other two are just optional super bosses i guess that could make sense
Why
Why do you use so many empty spaces

The silly gooberism
I mean you can do whatever the hell you want

i know someone whose OC would just try to stop being a queen and just have a calm life

Dats a big numbr
my character's path is 4. Figure Out How The Hell You Get Off The Planet
Hell
What i have if a terrarian would be in a much calmer life after the game
Just ask draedon for help
Proceed to terraform the entire earth into a rocket ship and you'll be good
-# im aware theyd rather die then that
You have inspired me to make an oc. PLAYTHROUGH NUMBAH THREE INCOMING
I need to figure out what the hell I want it to be
Same
I dont have much beyond trauma and ship of theseus stuff
Same
i sentence you to 500 thousand years of cultivation
_ _
But they have 50 million power in rise of kingdoms!!
Thanks for the making half of my screen yellow
i do have an idea for an interlude chapter of sorts where they're drafting a multi-stage plan for how to leave, cal asks how long it'd take and they go "probably around 7 years if i'm lucky"
No problem
Oh and theyre a prick for quite a bit
I'm terrible at writing, but all I really need are more details about them and their journey
Bwaaa
-# didnt intend to yellowā¦
Native of the sulph sea, hates fishrons, especially OD, has a mixed opinion of Draedong since he helped to pollute his home but also admires his technological achievements. That's about all I have right now
Why did you light me on fire
Are you British?!
Oh
I think it has been around 5 years. It was definitely before the lore rewrite.
With that attitude, you are
You can definitely get pretty good with time and effort
i have created an OC idea
(I say that as someone who walked into the Cal writer team with zero prior experience except reading and schoolwork)
You are the luckiest mfer on planet earth omg
Why so?
getting to write lore.
For being invited as a tester, sure, but well I just had an interest in writing lore and pursued it
When I come up with a silly idea like "what if truffle worms were an Ilmeran delicacy which were intentionally cultivated, and then they escaped", I don't get to make it canon.
walking into the writing team of a project that would become massive with 0 prior experience is like the dream of every high school aspiring writer
True!
Though to be fair, I think the best part about being officially in the lore is how much structural support you get
And help from peers
Writing on my own would be quite challenging
i mean technically i am
but like
only at the same amount everybody already burns through their lifespan
I will make your burn through your lifespan
DON'T DIE ON ME CEI

sure buddy
:gulpsplosion
