the other doesnt care about him, besides wondering how the world would change if he died
so uhh
i think draedon?
I’ve heard about ares being built to mimic/counter yharim
Is roar of the jungle dragon canon?
He's not dragon?
He's not a jungle dragon
Or because he doesn't roar but yapps like a chicken?
Just a normal dragon with an inconspicuous soul
yap of the jungle dragon
what happeend to your name
Draconic tongue
you know i just realized
it does kinda seem like there's a missing exo mech
1, 3, 5, and 9 are the numbers used
feels like 7 would fit in there, no? so you have a full band of odd numbers?
The elusive third exo triplet...
7 is hypnos
whar is hypnos
god of sleep i know that
Those who construct
No image sending permissions, love to see this!
i clicked the link dw
Nice ip buddy
personally my oc is ||XB-07 Asclepius|| based on the idea that maybe... just maybe... the plaguebringer goliath represents the blight soul
as opposed to the Bdark Soul
asclepius being the god of medicine
god of medicine representing the exact opposite of medicine doesn't make sense
See this is the sorta stuff I enjoy getting people to think about
last i checked the god of music doesn't shoot green fire either
Apollo is god of many things
no no you're right
apollo is literally spitting fire
Apollo get the auxcord
Also I like to imagine that apollo is a sort of byproduct of PBG given the green colour and how apollo uses nanomachines to create the fire
Not exactly a direct upgrade
i mean
So is asclepius. he's best known as the god of medicine but he is also the god of disease because those things are linked. and also specific oc details that i don't feel like going into in lore discussion
that's the literal intention there
oh. i didn't know that
it's an evolution of the tech draedon used to make PBG
Why not just say he's the god of disease then...
Smh
Me when multiple jobs
Steve jobs and who else
because no one knows who the god of disease is but if i say asclepius, god of medicine, they immediately think "Oh snake staff guy"
I wouldn't know who you're talking about either way
John jobs, jane jobs, joseph jobs, etc
Greek myth is not common knowledge except for the big names
😔
The exos are the culmination of all of Draedon’s research right?
The numbers are how many revisions the individual mech went through.
Which mech took 9 revisions
every time i fight ares i always view the big dot in the center of it as an eye and completely ignore the gundam skeleton face
Oh
Huh
Ares gets shredded by the Dynamic Pursuer rogue boomerang
It’s hilarious
(Stealth strikes)
What's the current governmental body before we show up
given that illegal gunparts are. Illegal. and "banned in most places"
The Heartlands seemingly don't have any central governments in the area of the continent we play in
We've only encountered ruins
clearly arms dealer just wants to artificially increase the cost
And seeing how most organized states were just cities, and only the most powerful covered large regions, and how the Heartlands are the most fucked place on the planet
I think we can assume it's mostly anarchy
Well even the original mechs used a similar naming scheme
Destroyer is HM-somethingsomething
H being hallowed
M being might
:0
where does it say that?
Draetalk
Anyways I've been thinking what if cal's real name was clematis (some sort of flower) and people misheard it as calamitas
Genius
Maybe they are
Slime god is balancepilled
intentionally maintains balance in the world and restrains itself from overindulgence despite i think being god of gluttony?
Slime god is a calamity tierlist tester
Slime God loves game balance
Slime god
Its in the name
then what was the dragon
Yep
isn't gluttony more specific than the extraordinarily vague concept of "slime"?
Dragon of gluttony
Slime is specifically referring to the slime enemies we come across everywhere
Not just gooey substance
I think
i guess that makes sense
was the entirety of hell azafure or just the brimstone crags
Crags
the rest is just miscellaneous suburbs?
That or just the wilderness
The underworld is i think a continent sized volcanic cave?
well there's buildings everywhere so i doubt it was wilderness
Theres inly buildings in the 1/3 centrei think
there's buildings everywhere
So theres still land for wilderness
the only area i think without any is like
Calamity change that??
How big is ash forest?
idk its not that big
ash forest isn't too big, if i had to guess its like the 1/10th of the map furtherst away from crags?
wait
if hell is a supermassive volcanic cavern
then that should probably mean there's a supermassive volcano somewhere
do you think its possible that that's the aerie?
no
We know of a continent thats basically just volcanoes i think
From dev statements
Also aerie is a sky island
there is a literal hellhole continent so it's likely that
that's why I wanna go there
oh also
if water literally evaporates in hell, I wonder what would happen if you opened a bottle of alcohol there
Molotov
i'd imagine something like when you try to use bomb arrows in the volcano region in botw

my favorite passtime in that game
hey does anyone understand noxus i hav no idea pls help me
It's a distortion creature and it's really strong and it probably made ceaseless void and it DoG is subservient to it
thats about all we know atm
also the divine essence DoG eats goes to it
also we're pretty sure xeroc hates it specifically
its a militaristic nation from league of legends
I'm sorry for your loss
Destroy that thing pls
:true:?
what are you all talking about what
hey i can't find it, where's the line "draedon prefers his creations to serve, after all"
i know its in one of the lore items
Aureus i think
THANK YOU
is the reason there's so many pretty plants in the brimstone crags because silva burrowed into hell
I dint think she burrowed into there but she did make more life present iirc
But that was before she was a god
-# she got sent to the abyss before
silva essence dripped down there from the abyss
she got sent to the abyss before she was a god...?
And after
Two trips
Atleast
The plants caused by her first trip is why azafure founders picked there iirc
Lots of free food
how did she make plants before she was a god
She was the elemental of nature
Well
ohhhhhhhhhh i see
Is
you can double dip being a cool awesome thing
Elemental and god
do you think dragon and god would be possible
yeah
like, say yharon killed another dragon, could he double dip on auric souls or would he explode or smth
We know gods can ascend multiple times, using other auric souls
They get weaker and start resembling polterghast
-# dev statement
LAME
Since story-wise, an auric dragon becoming a god would basically nuke Yharim's narrative that dragons are sinless beings
yeah im not saying it did happen
Yah
Which would hinder his propaganda machine
I do agree it is a cool concept
Triangle's Frost Dragon god addon cough* cough*
A dragon god is going to be a addon from triangle iirc
triangle?
i see
Idk if they dev
By dev i mean the coding aspect
if their names are orange or they hold an orange below their mint or whatever else name
i like that calamity is so big at this point people skip right over "terraria mod" and make mods for the calamity mod
unless this yharon somehow didnt already have an auric soul, no
that is a dev
see melon this is an example
this one has the orange name
this
is a dev!
Shit yourself
cool ok so you can't double dip on auric souls?
shit yourself times two melon gun
what about this was melon making this up
correct
melon gun the typa dude to play heavy bowgun in monster hunter 💀 xd
at least if you try to it'll fuck you up
i did that tho
im gonna headcanon that they're like devil fruits in one piece
Auric sauce with the Yharon nuggets when
@spare pier you're the one piece person im not qualified to confirm
I forgot if I already asked this but
Cei, are there any plans for any of the health upgrades to naturally generate
i haven't read one piece i just know vaguely how some things work
yes
o pezz è reale
Are you allowed to explain more
idk
Sort of yeah
The general agreement is that it wouldn't instantly kill you but you'd just basically just turn into a monster and lose all faculties
With absorbing multiple auric souls?
Yeah
i werent
oh btw if we kill providence and slime god for real,
Where are the auric souls they stole
if a god is killed does the auric soul it took just fizzle out?
A god ascending completely destroys the auric soul iirc
No way to retrieve it
oh the god consumes the auric soul
i thought they just like
absorbed it, like they were holding onto it for now but it would either fizzle out or be tossed somewhere else when they die
Nope
Being real I like the idea of being able to absorb the Godly Essence, but that's more just on the line of "this would probably make a really interesting character"
Thats why the age of the dragons isnt up despite 98% of gods being dead
so auric souls came from the world soul, where'd the world soul come from
-# did blobs OC atraxis make you think this
The world or something we dunno
If you are alive you get a soul
The worlds alive
Idk
i guess that makes sense
When will world commit mitosis
Nah, I just thought it'd be interesting to have a character do that to Providence and then have severe mental problems 
Lol
wait where does slime god's essence go. the auric soul can be dead but there's still essence
providence will prolly be going into that ore once uelibloom gets changed
but does slime god just become More Hallow since they're good and balance-pilled
Me mentioned
The god essence biomes we see is of dozens of gods or even hundreds
A single god doesnt have enough essence to do much of an immediate effect unless theyre strong
iirc a number given was 3K dragons
HOW
Though thats prob ancient and not reliable
The planets big
Lots of shards
yeah no i write assuming ~3,000
but the shards don't represent landmasses, they represent concepts
like Gluttony, Fire, Life
and if stars don't count
cause they're out of this world
ok 3000 is a stretch but i guess its possible
Dragon of starlight when
3k is a lot
3k subscribers
But if I wanted to I probably could 
yeah i think its possible
Dragon of cringe video compilations
Dragon of chairs
Dragon of cheerios
this does shoot down my brewing "the domains of dragons are based on the in-game biomes" theory
like, Life is jungle, rebirth is forest cause thats where you respawn, death is corruption, gluttony is crimson
light could be the hallow or space
Rebirth you could easily put on Aerie
True…
mod adding 2,995 bosses to account for the rest of the auric souls
Yharim killed them all 
They ate the nuggets before they were cooked
So saying possibly 3K ish dragons and thus gods is good?
I think on average there were a bit less Gods because of a lot of reasons
Botched ritual, killed early, Moon Lord shenanigans...
Fair
How many Auric souls were there?
Idyllic Strawberry spawning on Aerie trees has to happen
I will not elaborate 
What?!
World soul
No, it's not counting the World Soul
Noxus???
Is that the new name of Sacred Strawberry
Crabulon of course
Radiance moment where Providence becomes a voice in their head
THE TERRARIAN WHO IS YOU!!!
Oh, it's Sacred Strawberry

I will blow you up
^can't accept the terrarian is you
Byeah, it's the number of Dragons + 1 for a very funny reason
I personally think it's really fucking hard without significant overlap
So my estimate would be a lot lower
At most 1k
Thats a theme not overlap
that's monster hunter
Yeah, that's not significant overlap
-# theres no dragon of birth
now drawgon
I mean something like
Dragon of Water
Dragon of Vapor
Either way I think it's entirely possible to come up with 3k reasonable Auric Souls specially if we dabble on more metaphysical stuff
Cloud elemental and anahita:
Which we already do with Dragon of Gluttony
yippe outerverse scaling for me
a lot of them were really small souls with niche concepts
So stuff like politics doesn't work
This shows the cal universe considers different states of matter seperate things
just don't give a set official number gng
It wouldn't exactly need to be completely natural either imo, like
I think we could get away with a Dragon of Silk
It just needs to effect the world in some way doesnt it
dragon of spiderman
Silk is natural though
dragon of one specific rock
The funniest way out would be to make Dragons out of specific animals 
No wonder xeroc kept it as a keepsake
That would be stupid
DRAGON OF!!!!
Orangutan
Dragon of Tardigrades 🔥✍️
life including all animals makes things more difficult
Thats life, living
Not the specifics
Also I have a very specific way of countering that but that's also just how I interpret the division of Auric Souls
i actually think Dragon of Arthopods would go hard and i need it now
Either way making Auric Souls of specific animals would be silly
Dragon of Slow Cardiac Action Potential
you can even reuse the bumblebirb sprite, its economical
never back down, never give up!
dragon of dimethylphenethylamine
But I still think it's entirely reasonable to make 3k Dragons
Surely there are more than 3k natural things we can describe in our world
Dragon of fear when
Without excessive specification or significant overlap, I doubt it
God of comfort
Could actually be one
Dragon of Morning Dew
Actually ngl this would go kinda hard as a more metaphorical thing
Dragon of Oddly Sentence-like Animal Chitters
Dragon of Active Supervolcanos
Dragon of the Tummy Rumblies
Dragon of tectonics
Speaking of, I need to come up with some name options for the Flame Dragon, probably
Dragon of Velociraptor Fossils
Dragon of garfield comics
Lasagna
It's either going to be a really generic thing like "Astaroth" or some weird fucking shit like "Gosoythoth"
No inbetween
either way, itll end with oth
I was actually thinking of drawing upon some Celtic inspirations if possible
Ow
Why celtic for the fire dragon?
Every word is made up
My cat scratched me really badly damn
yellowstone isn't a supervolcano, it's a regular volcanic system that produced a really big eruption one time
Because it's ✨ cool ✨
volcanic systems don't always produce the same kinds of eruptions, they usually don't
flame dragon is teostra with a bit of fatalis and maybe kulve taroth
How big is the underworld? All of the heartlands and a bit more?
Dragon of unnecessary official minecraft spinoff games
(It's actually because Flame Dragon will probably go for a more western vibe, and Celtic mythology is an overlooked European mythology)
fair thats cool
Based
lindwyrm capable of flying through volcanic tunnels easily
Gorch
I feel like it could also be a neat bridge between Norse mythology further north, and more Roman/Christian depictions further south
we need a dragon of crustal movements or smth like that to upscale the verse 🔥
no
I'm also aiming at more variety of inspirations for Calamity
wait wyrms often inhabited hills yes? itd be cool if that idea was just upscaled for the flame dragon
we definitely do trust 🙏
☹️
Shakidou:
dragon of small earthquakes
Dragon of deez nuts
waiting for the uni ranges scaling rn 🙏
why do you give a shit
Ok but thatd be silly
Chrysadia is Ancient Greece and it really fits, while also being the inspiration I'm most comfortable with
But I've researched some Ancient Egypt stuff for Ilmeris' architecture, the God of Space's name (Shakidou) has Mesopotamian inspirations, and now I wanna look into Celtic myths
while a writer is here, question:
Do you think draedon ever kidnapped people to experiment post-PBG or did he stick exclusively to sillicon once yharim said "no no bad"
Yeah sure
Planets curved it wont matter much
Well, what would Draedon kidnap people for?
because to be perfectly honest i think you hyper ironically talking about powerscaling all the time is a little annoying
He may get his data from the plague infected beings
wait I thought of something weird
I did that now
🥹
what if the planet terraria in calamity isn't round because of being a bunch of rock piled in one place but because it is part of flat geometric space distorted into a sphere
see how tech interacts with biology, using carbon based tech rather than sillicone occasionally,
Guy wants to perfect science, that would include human experimentation, no?
mfs getting worked up over me pondering a random idea that amounts to nothing bad or good to anyone
He already had like 90 years to do medicine research on organic things
And also tech research is showing more promise at quicker advancement i think
So yeah
Better to do tech research right now and bio later then bio now tech later but idk i aint a dev
It's possible
Really depends on what his project is/what he's trying to accomplish, and what's most practical
if it's not actually all the time and i'm exaggerating i apologize, it just feels very frequent
I'm honestly struggling to even give a shit about apologies at the time
having devs pop in every now and then really helps me write my own little fanfics, thank you
Its like once a day at most i think
Dont think it is that frequent though
there are few things on the internet that warm my heart more than attempts at de-escalation
Dragon of Polycystic Kidney Disease
that did actually make me think of hierarchies of dragons
Dragon of mario maker 2 levels made by 4 year olds
No problem! It's our pleasure to help
like yeah the dragon of life is top dog but below them is still the dragon of microscopic life, the dragon of forest life, etc.
Zeratros was dragon king
i mean top dog of all the life dragons, i know the light dragon was super ultra top dog
Ah ok
I mean life dragon was the oldest
Dragon of Helicopters
1st auric dragon ever
...which almost makes me think that maybe light is more important in the world than i've been giving it credit for
Dragon of Moldy Cheese
iirc theres a possibility that zeratros has not only primordial light but also the shadows casted by it in domain
i guess light is all pervasive, all consuming. everything is touched by light so of course it would be possible
you can stop now 🙏
Dev statement i think
Dragon of Cephalopods
now THAT would go hard
Dragon of Naming Dragon Domains
Dragon of rain world
Note that it is Primordial Light, not just light
Primordial light being the super magic sunlight
Dragon of High Quality Memes
ohhhh i see
It's a point of debate
With pros and cons
Hence why i said possibility
here's a thought i had given two points i heard a while back
do you think its possible that providence took the auric soul of fire but just became the god of rage? that meaning, rage is an aspect of fire?
i dont believe it but it could be possible
Possible with ingame info
I think
-# outside info? Basically confirmed its ash iirc
how im thinking about it is providence took fire and has the act of burning. Not heat nor the plasma emitted by burning (fire), but the destruction of the item itself
grahhhhhb i hate outside info
Tbf i think this logic is close to why ash is popular
Since its whats remained after the fire has destroyed stuff
^^^^^
She doesn't really have many rageful themes imo
Providence what if from cei
The only things that could count is maybe her "revenge" and definitely when she jumps us
Whats the rose stone again?
the accessory the brimstone elemental drops that summons it to your side
Ah
I think a fragment of brimmy that yiu hhsve gained control over
Cause brimmy being the element of HEAT
Yeah nah she aint dead
Also i think 1 elemental exists per element
rare sand elemental?
Sand and cloud just hit the nae nae too well and split into many to cover more land
oh i see ok
You fucking understood what i said?
if "life" is an element, shouldn't death and rebirth be too
since they form a trinity
Silva is nature
Nature elemental and life goddess
The elementals are whats needed for nature and silva is nature
I think
^
Basically the other 4 elements need to exist for nature to
Since they are all essential for life
Heat, air, earth and water
Yuh
This means Brimmy and Cloud are like super old compared to the others
Silva would be the youngest
I headcanon Silva is like an annoying sister to the others, and that's why Anahita left after Silva was put in the Abyss a 2nd time
She did NOT want to experience that a again
I was thinking that since the others cause silvas domain ti spread no matter what (i think?) they just view her as a unstoppable annoyance they can only leave if they come across her
But also, fucking true thats good
Good idea too
Imagine Brimmy awakened because Silva's influence spread too much into Azafure
Especially since she was sealed again directly above the city
And well, since nature also includes life, she attacked anything that was alive during her rampage
And then mix in some calamitous bullshiterry (Calamitas being involved somehow)
We ended up with supreme girlfail calamitas
i like that calamitas is a girlfailure
because like. yes she was groomed to be a machine for war from a very young age, she's not gonna be on the sigma grindset like yharim's propaganda said, she's going to be sad and alone and traumatized and scared of everything
She is the only npc allowed to say one (1) fuck
is astrum deus a worm or a snake
Tape worm
Worm boss
Alien and so unrelated to any species on the planet i think
i am making permafrsot comment on your current amopunt of mana
20, over 20, at least 200, at least 300, at least 400, at least 650, and at least 800, and 1,170
1,170 is oddly specific becuase that's the cap
with all posisble buffs and gear and such
how will permafrost react when mana gets butchered
Doesnt terraria cap it to 400 or does cal remove the cap
cla removes it
Oh neat
it was tested by angel
1,170 is the cap
and sicne you need Starbeam Rye to do it
i made him comment on that
yay
Damn, substance enhancing drugs
when asking you about side efefcts of feeling 1,170 mana within you
and he asks about side efefcts to see if you're like, ok
What do you mean “Minor drunkenness at most”?... What do you mean you drank alcohol made from stardust to do this!? Good heavens, spit it out, if you still can!
trust the method
So real tbh
like 800 impresses him and makes him minorly question if it's really nessesary
1,170 downright concerns him

Permafrost looking in horror when the terrarian rocks up with more mana then scal (its only minor drunkness its fine)
like even jsut
800
isn't soemthing even most mage players will reach
unless they really want that max mana
relaistically you stop at like 700-750
i fw mana maxxing
The true way you should be able to spam mana
Not mana pots
kill mana pots
which yeah in the 200-300 mana comment, he mentions that is the effective stopping point for most people devling into magic since past that it gets way harder to go further unless you're notably dedicated
which yeah
matches gameplay itself
200 is what mana crystals grant
Could he mention aether crystal?
Since thats another odd mana thing
maybe
he should comment on or track cal mana upgrades maybe
other shit im more cocnerned about writing right now
Permafrost looking in horror after seeing the terrarian have more mana then the supreme brimstone witch thanks to pond water crystals and alchohol (its safe, trust me bro)
i just more wanna have him be able to comment on like
if you have a notable amount of mana
"oh, hey, another mage"
🙏
sadly nothign simmilar i can easy do for other classes
mage mains gotta stick out for one another
Braelor commenting on the amount of gloves you have on 

What
Ofcourse when he is added
(shrek gif "like thats ever gonna happen")

im confused and scared over that emoji

statis commenting on your unbroken gaze if you have a lot of max stealth/stealth regen
Elaborate
(since its gonna be focus instead of stealth)
Elemental gauntlet
Fire gauntlet
Mechanical gauntlet
Power glove
Titan glove
Feral claws
Okay
glove stacking is dead
????????
So have braelor mention how impractical it is
I was acknowledging your answer
New dialogue if holding yharim crystal
You could have bandit comment on being a rogue
Wait nvm nobody gives a shit about them
I mean
Bandit is weird since unlike every other npc they aren’t one person, and work like vanilla NPCs
didn't y'all have some mechanic that gave you extra damage the more you used a class a long time ago?
or am I misremembering stuff I read on the fandom?
cause y'all could prolly use that data to decide it
class proficiency existed yeah but it was counting damage dealt and that isnt that great of a metric to base npc dialogue off
I think she meant like other classes getting comments like what mage is getting from perma from other npcs
Like Statis can comment on your focus (what stealth is gonna become), Braelor saying something related to melee, and that's kinda it
Yharim commenting on how many fucks ya killed
Draedon doxxes how you've faired as a ranger
Draedon snaps into a gamer rage if you do perfectly
"It's over Terrarian! I have the superior Pulse Rifle model!"
i think the most common headcanon between terraria and calamity is that npcs aren't multiple people.
except the guides who acknowledge their predecessors
because otherwise you have to accept that the golfer and zoologist are part of an infinite family and every daughter got cursed by a magic fox
yeah 😭
"Nice range amirite"
i can imagine the witch doctor commenting on your minion slot count
It should require more than just mana stars, because it seems like a lot of players will raise their mana that way just because they can and it isn't too expensive
counterpoint: it'd be really funny to see his reaction if you're post-ml with 20 mana
also speaking of mana and stars
do y'all think the astral infection could happen if enough mana crystals are gathered in one place?
I don't think you interpreted that right, they were referring to how it should cost more than the maximum amount of mana stars for that specific dialogue, not the other ones tiered by how much mana you have
Probably
i mean most non-mages aren't gonna go out of their way to go past 200
summoners are just mages with projectiles that last longer
bloodstones are old lore stuff right?
like literally even in-lore this is basically what summoners are
how they're obtained and how they're gotten from defeating providence
ok ty
makes sense
Which is why I recommend that you make the check be for having more than that amount
I've always thought in lore it was similar to how magic that controls the elements in handled in other games
Also I thought summoners were like mages but their projectiles are alive
where summoning magic is under one broad umbrella but it has a bunch of subtypes
do you think the brimstone elemental has any pity for the citizens of azafure or is it completely emotionless and exclusively "i must light the world on fire"
because if the latter, thats kinda some overlap with providence. maybe she's the one that woke the brimstone elemental up?
iirc Brimmy is not sapient unlike Anahita and Silva, unless someone spouted wrong information to me
but then again when you die to Brimmy while using boss checklist, it mentions how she keeps her "somber vigil" over the crags
is boss checklist canon??
oh neat
for this fic im writing im gonna assume she's sapient enough to feel kinda bad about the azafurians
The important ones seem to be Slime God, Brimmy and Yharon
Since they are the only ones listed
there's checks for various amounts of mana
Oh
20, under 200, at least 200, at least 300, at least 400, at least 650, and at least 800
and then one at 1,170 for shits and giggles
(maximum obtainable mana)
Are these listed anywhere?
Cei are any of the elementals other than Silva sapient?
Outside of the game
.
can there be one for over 1,170 that calls out people for using a mod that boosts mana?
no

Ah

cei was it you that made the goddess of fate thing?
no
reb
reb?
Rebecca 
oh rebecca 
🐌
I can though
is yharim still associated with the jungle? I've noticed that since I've last played, it looks like yharon has been completely decoupled from the jungle
No.
gotcha nice
Are the bosses we fight in order weakest to strongest? Or do we fight bosses that are stronger than eachother but we simply fight earlier?
I know a lot of games aren’t always lore accurate with how the player can fight certain bosses just be used of gameplay reasons
i think its from weakest to strongest yes
generally yes
things do get a little muddy when some bosses are in the same tier though
e.g. scal and exo mechs
if there are multiple bosses at the same progression point (i.e. mechs) you can generally swap em around with little to no consequence
we start off fighting weaker enemies that are said to be more common in the lore and towards the end its said that because we've gotten so much stronger we're now on those bosses radars
like they wouldnt have even noticed us beforehand. and if we tried to fight them earlier they wouldve stomped us into the ground
I’m assuming this excludes bosses like the primordial wyrm? I could be wrong but I’m assuming a giant fish isn’t stronger than like most of the bosses?
you see
primordial wyrm was blessed by two gods i think
Just one
and also blessed by silva
eh
His name is Jared?
the elementals might be older
community nickname
Cool cool
ok yeah true
it doesnt know who xeroc is even though its supposed to guard the terminus
I forget, did xeroc kill the dragon leader or just camp his corpse?
killed and absorbed its soul. first person to ever do it
or. actually its unclear if he killed zeratros or just waited until zeratros died of natural causes
either way he ate that guy.
we dont know the specifics of the whole shebang but we know that even if xeroc didnt kill him zeratros wasnt gonna last much longer
It’s kinda funny he ate the soul and just dipped, does he even do anything after that?
also unclear but probably
we at least know he made a rock.
xeroc is on a mission to find noxus at the moment
So is Xeroc most powerful, anything above him?
he didnt even make the rock. goddamn.
nothing above him that matters to the story
its a stone xeroc you didnt make it
He stole a soul, then a rock, godly power really does make you humble
Dude what the fuck does this guy do
we dont know
smokes a fat blunt sometimes
we just know hes doing something
protec terraria from big threat I sthink
He became a god and did the same thing I did at like ten years old and started taking rocks home
god stuff i guess. yharim doesnt give a fuck about what the gods do and hes our main source of info rn
well no
yharim most certainly does give a fuck about what the gods do
he just cant figure out what xeroc is doing
ok well
i say that bc he doesnt care about what the gods are up to or have been up to other than where they came from and how they generally treat mortals
lets assume xeroc is the size of a train
i mean some gods treat mortals pretty damn well its more so just the former
Yharim also quit doing shit, he just got depressed and just lounges around
hes kinda trying to manipulate you
do you think someone can track a single train across the entire planet while for the most part staying on a single continent
one that glows?
prolly
What’s going on in space, why is everyone so obsessed with this planet
the sun
fair. he talks ab how he hates people exerting force over others & enslavement but its only when it makes him look good
not much goes on in space theres like
the sun
martians
thats about it
the astral
moon lord at one point
Did DOG ever eat any gods?
yeah
yes
the distortion portals
he is in fact a devourer of fr- i mean gods
hes yharims go-to body dumping ground for gods
The upper power ranks of the calamity verse are all just in a giant jerk circle, they just keep doing each others favors and making eachother stronger
And they don’t even like eachother!
thats how the real world works too
xeroc is just kinda there
minding his own business
yharim is uh
depressed and doing his best gaslight gatekeep girlboss impression on the terrarian
yharon is this is my message bla bla bla master etc
noxus is ?????????????????????????
draedon is probably making a time machine or something i don'tk now
Nobody does shit! Terrerian has to come around and literally kill fucking everybody to get attention from any one of these lazy ass strong people
calamitas is kinda just chilling
i mean
what do you expect them to do
go around killing everyone for no reason
i mean yeah yharim kinda did that
I don’t except them to do anything, I just think it’s funny everybody is dicking around
fair enough
yharim did that until basically everyone that liked him decided no actually you're an asshole and left
he's working on teleportation
Draemechanics
Draedon is so based I’ll be honest, he’s just this weirdo who made mechanical monstrosities that rival top tiers in the verse
it seems like the only thing actually trying to find the terrarian is providence and even then she sucks at it. you kill her entire guard before she even bothers showing up
she only starts looking for you after you kill her guard
she hunts you down because you just killed her polycule
ians
and scal literally flies across the ocean to fight you
Has a guard for fucking nobody, ain’t nobody is jumping providence
is scal on a different continent??
Profaned healer is a girlfailure lesbian
yharim
he has tried
^
Oh well fair enough
ok I understand now
Also I’d also be pissed if some random fuck came and killed my polycule
What are we loring chat
Lore
What motivation do we even have to do all this? Power? Do we just want to be at the top?
I think that's up to the player
True
Terrarian is your oc image:
The image
💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
But there's some things like sparing calamitas that give some hints to the player's character I think
🧑🦱 🫵
So real, i have 2-3 ocs I’ve either made in terreria or ported over from other games to terreria

Lol
👨 

Is there any other bosses besides Calamitas that live after we fight them?
Deus
Deus
Does Anahita count?
Sorta
If yes then brimmy does aswell
Why Deus?
We free it
Oh gotcha
We uninfect the guy
Deus is said to not be fully dead when we kill it so it's probably reincarnating somewhere
Nah
Nah it just flees
We free it from the infection
Oh shit it does?
deus, anahita, brimstone elemental, ceaseless void, and yharon
We beat the dusease out of it
Is crabulon one of a kind or species?
dusease
Species
One of a kind
No
technically the exo mechs
So one of a kind of a species
Unclear? The crab is a species from the sunken sea but I think only one got taken over by the spores
Why are the aquatic and desert scourges, scourges?
Crabulon is a special indiviual among the Hermititans that ran from the incineration
Why are they scorned?
Type of animal
Sea serpent
Scorned because if a giant worm flipped my boat and stole all my krill I'd be mad
Its fune
There are 3 scourges
When do you think the game takes place year-wise?
(Draedon gives us dates over the Codebreaker, the latest being 1875, which is when he says he left Yharim's side.)
1887-1897 i think
small pack hunter version in a deep sea
What’s up dog and storm weaver
Creatures from the distortion. Not the same species of worm but similar
I think 1890 personally, I'd like to know what makes you say those dates?
I feel like the abandoned buildings and recovery from destruction makes it like 1910
Seperate species that yharim with his infinite wisdom and F in biology comes to the conclusion theyre the same species
He’s too used to the fact that all dragons are one species, so must just be the same for worms
Draedon says the exo mechs are the culmination of ~660 years of constant progress and he woke up in 1227
Ah, so 1887 is the earliest it could be, correct
Actually, 1888, since he says over 660
660 years just for me to tear them apart in a couple minutes
But that's just semantics lol
Semantics also say he could've meant a few months
Is death explained at all or is it just a gameplay thing and its canonical that the terrerian just does this all in one go
you get to decide
I mean, the time of dates he gives mean that isnt the case
He started them after guving yharim exo upgrades, and that was months ago iirc
Terrarian does it in one go
Insert terrarian is up to you image
I'm planning a calamity dnd campaign and if my players die I'm letting them come back if they claw their way out of wherever dying would send them. Usually the underworld
That's it
He never explains the relationship in time between giving Yharim the exo armor upgrades and making the Exo mechs, but I would have to assume it's not before lol
Probably during or soon afterward
You are now evaporated firearm
well it isnt 660 years of working on specifically exos
Imagine if it was tho lol
I yearn to be those party members
Theres a chance that they would get sent to noxus
Yeah it's 660 years of inventing in general
If DoG eats them they're pretty much fucked. But if they get sucked in by the Ceaseless Void I'll let them find a way to planeshift out
if it was 660 years of working on the same project it would have been rebuilt from the ground up multiple times because of advancements in technology making certain hardware elements obsolete and experience in creating things rendering previous design choices irrelevant and likely detrimental
That campaign would have to be like 1-20
Planning on going into epic levels honestly
Ceaseless may be sucking in souls across an entire continent
The dungeon specifically fucks with souls and there gotta be a reason polter never escaped
But thats just speculation (except dungeon fucking with souls)
That is true
I was just thinking about how that would set the game in at least 2580 which is funny
Maybe 1-20 for main line calamity bosses? Epic levels for super boss Addons like wrath of gods
My headcanon is that the dragoncult pulled a CV on Polter
Put a bajillion seals on it
it also has a post game superboss implemented partially
Planned being the keyword
Jared
Btw, I don't understand Empress of Light's lore, is she a goddess, something created by the divine festering that created the infections (corruption, crimson, hallow) or a naturally born creature who just acts as an emissary for the deities?
its uncertain
Last one i think
But her lore item is one of the very few things that will ever get re wrote iirc
Hm?
Empress of Light wields Primordial Light which is Xeroc's thing so probably the last one
So Noxus is older than Xeroc?
Distortion is older than Terraria yeah
CV is miles older than Xeroc
it seems to have an interest in god essence
So fey like her are a natural species then, and she's probably just one of the bigger/stronger/older ones?
we don't know why
Yes
Yeah there are fairies everywhere
No calamity explanation for them
could be for decor, could be absorbing it, could be because he hates the evil biomes and doesn't want more to appear
It's just that Pixies are obviously very different from what Empress is
They could be or they could just be too tiny and too bright to see
I think that's what's going on with Zelda fairies (which they're based on)
True, true
Another question, what do you think the deity who the Lihzahrds worshipped was?
kinda hard to know
Probably the god of the sun if there ever was one
because xeroc fits the bill
xeroc
thats xeroc:/
He would as the god of light
Really?
God of sunlight
That's also Providence lol
but him abandoning an entire race seems out of character
no
And the sun MAY be made of sunlight
Providence is the goddess of ash
No
providence is something related to fire
Providence ate the Dragon of Fire yeah
The sun theming is jusg a bit of old lore poking out
I thought it was Goddess of Fire yea
She didnt perfect ascend
What was providence before? Human?
Maybe
Is this a joke or real I can't tell lol
It's real
Not a joke???
WH-
Okay then cool
I think it's real. Silva and Xeroc both share their dragon's domains but other gods don't
Only silva and xeroc kept the same domain as their dragon
(Adding that to the lore compilation document...)
And they are top 3 and top 1 iirc
Is Silva the one whose vines are in the abyss?
imperfect which means your physical form gets changed and you don't have the same domain as the auric soul
Not even Otinilou?
Nope
Otonilou ate the storm dragon and became electricity god
🐌
Oh that's why she's got the gross burning rock thing going on with her
and perfect which means you get a massive power boost, your physical form doesn't change, and you have the same domain as the auric soul
Slime god used to be a humanoid race
Is calamitas like a cursed child?
Does this mean Xeroc didn’t perfect ascend?
xeroc did
He did
