one of them absolutely despises him

#

the other doesnt care about him, besides wondering how the world would change if he died

#

so uhh

#

i think draedon?

gritty kraken
magic zenith
#

Is roar of the jungle dragon canon?

dusk laurel
#

Yeah

#

except for the name

magic zenith
#

He's not dragon?

dusk laurel
#

He's not a jungle dragon

magic zenith
#

Or because he doesn't roar but yapps like a chicken?

dusk laurel
#

Just a normal dragon with an inconspicuous soul

prime mauve
#

yap of the jungle dragon

mighty zenith
#

what happeend to your name

dusk laurel
#

Draconic tongue

gray tulip
#

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?

dusk laurel
#

The elusive third exo triplet...

real silo
#

7 is hypnos

gray tulip
#

whar is hypnos

real silo
#

This guy doesn't know about hypnos

#

Exo brain

gray tulip
#

god of sleep i know that

dusk laurel
#

Those who construct

#

No image sending permissions, love to see this!

gray tulip
#

i clicked the link dw

magic zenith
gray tulip
#

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

real silo
#

god of medicine representing the exact opposite of medicine doesn't make sense

manic coral
#

See this is the sorta stuff I enjoy getting people to think about

gray tulip
manic coral
#

coutnerpoint:

#

fire mixtapes

#

(literal)

real silo
#

Apollo is god of many things

gray tulip
#

no no you're right

manic coral
#

apollo is literally spitting fire

dusk laurel
#

Apollo get the auxcord

real silo
#

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

manic coral
#

i mean

gray tulip
#

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

manic coral
#

that's the literal intention there

gray tulip
#

oh. i didn't know that

manic coral
#

it's an evolution of the tech draedon used to make PBG

real silo
#

Smh

dusk laurel
#

Me when multiple jobs

real silo
#

Steve jobs and who else

gray tulip
#

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"

real silo
#

I wouldn't know who you're talking about either way

dusk laurel
real silo
#

Greek myth is not common knowledge except for the big names

gray tulip
#

😔

frigid sage
#

The exos are the culmination of all of Draedon’s research right?

indigo glade
gray tulip
#

yeah in universe

#

in universe i doubt XM stands for Exo-Might either

frigid sage
#

Which mech took 9 revisions

gray tulip
#

ares

#

skeletron

#

which makes sense i guess

frigid sage
#

Makes sense

#

Lots of weapons

#

Big

gray tulip
#

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

frigid sage
#

Oh

#

Huh

#

Ares gets shredded by the Dynamic Pursuer rogue boomerang

#

It’s hilarious

#

(Stealth strikes)

gray tulip
#

What's the current governmental body before we show up

#

given that illegal gunparts are. Illegal. and "banned in most places"

dusk laurel
#

The Heartlands seemingly don't have any central governments in the area of the continent we play in

#

We've only encountered ruins

mighty zenith
#

clearly arms dealer just wants to artificially increase the cost

dusk laurel
#

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

real silo
#

Destroyer is HM-somethingsomething

#

H being hallowed

split mortar
#

M being might

real silo
#

Wrong

#

M being melon

split mortar
#

:0

gray tulip
#

where does it say that?

dusk laurel
#

Draetalk

real silo
#

Anyways I've been thinking what if cal's real name was clematis (some sort of flower) and people misheard it as calamitas

dusk laurel
#

Genius

gray tulip
#

reading bestiaries for the first time

#

is. Is slime god based?

split mortar
#

Maybe they are

real silo
#

Slime god is balancepilled

gray tulip
#

intentionally maintains balance in the world and restrains itself from overindulgence despite i think being god of gluttony?

real silo
#

Slime god is a calamity tierlist tester

dusk laurel
#

Slime God loves game balance

gray tulip
#

then what was the dragon

split mortar
gray tulip
#

isn't gluttony more specific than the extraordinarily vague concept of "slime"?

split mortar
#

Dragon of gluttony

split mortar
#

Not just gooey substance

#

I think

gray tulip
#

i guess that makes sense

#

was the entirety of hell azafure or just the brimstone crags

split mortar
#

Crags

gray tulip
#

the rest is just miscellaneous suburbs?

split mortar
#

That or just the wilderness

#

The underworld is i think a continent sized volcanic cave?

gray tulip
#

well there's buildings everywhere so i doubt it was wilderness

split mortar
#

Theres inly buildings in the 1/3 centrei think

pliant ruin
#

there's buildings everywhere

split mortar
#

So theres still land for wilderness

pliant ruin
#

the only area i think without any is like

split mortar
pliant ruin
#

ash forest

#

no

#

thats just normal

split mortar
pliant ruin
#

idk its not that big

gray tulip
#

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?

light linden
#

no

split mortar
#

Also aerie is a sky island

light linden
#

there is a literal hellhole continent so it's likely that

gray tulip
#

i see ok

#

i hope we go there some day

split mortar
#

Its even worse then the heartlands

light linden
#

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

split mortar
#

Molotov

frozen zodiac
mental narwhal
tardy sequoia
#

hey does anyone understand noxus i hav no idea pls help me

pliant ruin
#

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

eager bluff
#

also we're pretty sure xeroc hates it specifically

latent flower
wheat walrus
wheat walrus
noble thunder
#

what are you all talking about what

latent flower
#

they talk ab it a lot in arcane

#

if u haven't watched arcane

#

watch arcane

gray tulip
#

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

split mortar
#

Aureus i think

gray tulip
#

THANK YOU

gray tulip
#

is the reason there's so many pretty plants in the brimstone crags because silva burrowed into hell

split mortar
#

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

pliant ruin
#

silva essence dripped down there from the abyss

gray tulip
#

she got sent to the abyss before she was a god...?

split mortar
#

Two trips

#

Atleast

#

The plants caused by her first trip is why azafure founders picked there iirc

#

Lots of free food

gray tulip
#

how did she make plants before she was a god

split mortar
#

Well

gray tulip
#

ohhhhhhhhhh i see

split mortar
#

Is

gray tulip
#

you can double dip being a cool awesome thing

split mortar
#

Elemental and god

gray tulip
#

do you think dragon and god would be possible

dusk laurel
#

yeah

gray tulip
#

like, say yharon killed another dragon, could he double dip on auric souls or would he explode or smth

dusk laurel
#

Likely yes

#

But this would have likely not happened

split mortar
#

-# dev statement

gray tulip
#

LAME

dusk laurel
#

Since story-wise, an auric dragon becoming a god would basically nuke Yharim's narrative that dragons are sinless beings

gray tulip
#

yeah im not saying it did happen

dusk laurel
#

Yah

gray tulip
#

but in a super superficial, non-critical thinking view

#

it would be SO COOL

dusk laurel
#

I do agree it is a cool concept

#

Triangle's Frost Dragon god addon cough* cough*

split mortar
#

A dragon god is going to be a addon from triangle iirc

gray tulip

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

split mortar
#

With absorbing multiple auric souls?

spare pier
#

Yeah

split mortar
gray tulip
#

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?

cloud ibex
#

gone

#

eated

split mortar
#

No way to retrieve it

gray tulip
#

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

split mortar
#

Nope

spare pier
#

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"

split mortar
#

Thats why the age of the dragons isnt up despite 98% of gods being dead

gray tulip
#

so auric souls came from the world soul, where'd the world soul come from

split mortar
split mortar
#

If you are alive you get a soul

#

The worlds alive

#

Idk

gray tulip
#

i guess that makes sense

split mortar
#

When will world commit mitosis

spare pier
gray tulip
#

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

deft vessel
#

Me mentioned

split mortar
gray tulip
#

i see ok

#

i doubt hundreds because literally how many auric souls could there even be

split mortar
gray tulip
#

HOW

split mortar
#

Though thats prob ancient and not reliable

split mortar
manic coral
#

yeah no i write assuming ~3,000

gray tulip
#

but the shards don't represent landmasses, they represent concepts

#

like Gluttony, Fire, Life

split mortar
#

Uh

#

Many dragons based on magics i guess

gray tulip
#

and if stars don't count

#

cause they're out of this world

#

ok 3000 is a stretch but i guess its possible

split mortar
#

Dragon of starlight whenclueless

spare pier
#

I think I could think of 3k Domains

#

I'm not going to

gray tulip
#

3k is a lot

wheat walrus

3k subscribers

But if I wanted to I probably could HDfailure

gray tulip

yeah i think its possible

Dragon of cringe video compilations

deft vessel
#

Dragon of chairs

split mortar
#

Dragon of cheerios

gray tulip
#

this does shoot down my brewing "the domains of dragons are based on the in-game biomes" theory

split mortar
#

What could a dragon of primordial light be based on in biomes

#

Or dragon of rebirth

gray tulip
#

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

spare pier
#

Rebirth you could easily put on Aerie

gray tulip
#

also that

#

but its disproven 😔

split mortar
gray tulip
#

mod adding 2,995 bosses to account for the rest of the auric souls

#

Yharim killed them all calsad

gray tulip
#

how rude

#

why would he do that

split mortar
#

They ate the nuggets before they were cooked

split mortar
spare pier
#

I think on average there were a bit less Gods because of a lot of reasons

#

Botched ritual, killed early, Moon Lord shenanigans...

split mortar
#

Fair

frigid sage
#

How many Auric souls were there?

spare pier
#

This will be a very funny answer

#

The amount of Dragons + 1

cosmic zenith

#

I will not elaborate HDfailure

frigid sage
split mortar
spare pier
#

No, it's not counting the World Soul

split mortar
#

Noxus???

dusk laurel

It's not that deep

And if it was Noxus I would not dare to ever say this

THE TERRARIAN WHO IS YOU!!!

cosmic zenith
#

Oh, it's Sacred Strawberry

dusk laurel
split mortar
#

Rude

wheat walrus
spare pier
#

Byeah, it's the number of Dragons + 1 for a very funny reason

cosmic zenith
#

So my estimate would be a lot lower

#

At most 1k

spare pier
#

Technically speaking we already have overlap HDfailure

#

Life, Death and Rebirth

split mortar
#

Thats a theme not overlap

wheat walrus
#

that's monster hunter

cosmic zenith
#

Yeah, that's not significant overlap

split mortar
#

-# theres no dragon of birth

wheat walrus
cosmic zenith
#

I mean something like
Dragon of Water
Dragon of Vapor

spare pier
#

Either way I think it's entirely possible to come up with 3k reasonable Auric Souls specially if we dabble on more metaphysical stuff

split mortar
spare pier
#

Which we already do with Dragon of Gluttony

wheat walrus
cosmic zenith
#

Ehhhhhh

#

I'm skeptical

#

3k is a lot

#

And Auric souls come from natural concepts

sinful adder
cosmic zenith
#

So stuff like politics doesn't work

split mortar
wheat walrus
spare pier
#

It wouldn't exactly need to be completely natural either imo, like

#

I think we could get away with a Dragon of Silk

split mortar
wheat walrus
#

dragon of spiderman

cosmic zenith
#

Silk is natural though

sinful adder
#

dragon of one specific rock

spare pier
#

The funniest way out would be to make Dragons out of specific animals HDfailure

split mortar
cosmic zenith
#

That would be stupid

spare pier
#

Dragon of Tardigrades 🔥✍️

sinful adder
#

life including all animals makes things more difficult

split mortar
#

Thats life, living

Not the specifics

spare pier
#

Also I have a very specific way of countering that but that's also just how I interpret the division of Auric Souls

gray tulip
#

i actually think Dragon of Arthopods would go hard and i need it now

spare pier
#

Either way making Auric Souls of specific animals would be silly

cosmic zenith
#

Dragon of Slow Cardiac Action Potential

#

you can even reuse the bumblebirb sprite, its economical

smoky carbon
#

never back down, never give up!

wheat walrus
#

dragon of dimethylphenethylamine

spare pier
#

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

split mortar
#

Dragon of fear when

cosmic zenith
#

Without excessive specification or significant overlap, I doubt it

#

No inbetween

gray tulip
#

either way, itll end with oth

sinful adder
#

did you know supervolcanoes aren't real

#

a documentary made them up

cosmic zenith
#

I was actually thinking of drawing upon some Celtic inspirations if possible

spare pier
#

Ow

gray tulip
#

Why celtic for the fire dragon?

split mortar
spare pier
#

My cat scratched me really badly damn

sinful adder
#

yellowstone isn't a supervolcano, it's a regular volcanic system that produced a really big eruption one time

cosmic zenith
#

Because it's ✨ cool

sinful adder
#

volcanic systems don't always produce the same kinds of eruptions, they usually don't

wheat walrus
#

flame dragon is teostra with a bit of fatalis and maybe kulve taroth

split mortar
#

How big is the underworld? All of the heartlands and a bit more?

#

Dragon of unnecessary official minecraft spinoff games

cosmic zenith
#

(It's actually because Flame Dragon will probably go for a more western vibe, and Celtic mythology is an overlooked European mythology)

cosmic zenith
#

I feel like it could also be a neat bridge between Norse mythology further north, and more Roman/Christian depictions further south

wheat walrus
#

we need a dragon of crustal movements or smth like that to upscale the verse 🔥

sinful adder
#

no

cosmic zenith
#

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

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"

split mortar
#

Yeah sure

Planets curved it wont matter much

cosmic zenith
#

Well, what would Draedon kidnap people for?

cloud ibex
split mortar
#

He may get his data from the plague infected beings

ohhhh i see

cosmic zenith
#

With pros and cons

split mortar
#

Hence why i said possibility

gray tulip
#

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

split mortar
#

Possible with ingame info

#

I think

#

-# outside info? Basically confirmed its ash iirc

gray tulip
#

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

gray tulip
dusk laurel
#

Sinless ash

split mortar
#

^^^^^

dusk laurel
#

She doesn't really have many rageful themes imo

split mortar
#

Providence what if from cei

dusk laurel
#

The only things that could count is maybe her "revenge" and definitely when she jumps us

gray tulip
#

What is the rose stone?

#

is it a new elemental? a reincarnation?

split mortar
#

Whats the rose stone again?

gray tulip
#

the accessory the brimstone elemental drops that summons it to your side

split mortar
#

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

gray tulip
#

rare sand elemental?

split mortar
#

Sand and cloud just hit the nae nae too well and split into many to cover more land

gray tulip
#

oh i see ok

split mortar
#

You fucking understood what i said?

gray tulip
#

if "life" is an element, shouldn't death and rebirth be too

#

since they form a trinity

split mortar
#

Silva is nature

gray tulip
#

i see

#

makes sense then

dusk laurel
#

Nature elemental and life goddess

split mortar
#

The elementals are whats needed for nature and silva is nature

I think

split mortar
dusk laurel
#

Since they are all essential for life

#

Heat, air, earth and water

split mortar
#

Yuh

dusk laurel
#

This means Brimmy and Cloud are like super old compared to the others

split mortar
#

Silva would be the youngest

dusk laurel
#

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

split mortar
dusk laurel
#

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)

split mortar
#

We ended up with supreme girlfail calamitas

gray tulip
#

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

like 800 impresses him and makes him minorly question if it's really nessesary

#

1,170 downright concerns him

split mortar

Permafrost looking in horror when the terrarian rocks up with more mana then scal (its only minor drunkness its fine)

manic coral
#

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

kill mana pots

manic coral
#

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

split mortar
#

200 is what mana crystals grant

#

Could he mention aether crystal?

#

Since thats another odd mana thing

manic coral
#

maybe

sudden ruin

he should comment on or track cal mana upgrades maybe

manic coral

other shit im more cocnerned about writing right now

split mortar

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

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?

Like Statis can comment on your focus (what stealth is gonna become), Braelor saying something related to melee, and that's kinda it

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

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 imagine so

My understanding is that mana crystals are stars

dusk laurel

summoners kinda do

oh also cei

manic coral

summoners are just mages with projectiles that last longer

bloodstones are old lore stuff right?

what about bloodstones

t hat doesn't narrow it down

manic coral
light linden

in that case yes

they are to be tied to Ravager

light linden

ok ty

sinful adder

I've always thought in lore it was similar to how magic that controls the elements in handled in other games

sinful adder

Also I thought summoners were like mages but their projectiles are alive

light linden

#

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?

dusk laurel
#

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

gray tulip
#

is boss checklist canon??

dusk laurel
#

yeah it's in the doc

#

the despawn messages

gray tulip
#

oh neat

#

for this fic im writing im gonna assume she's sapient enough to feel kinda bad about the azafurians

dusk laurel
#

The important ones seem to be Slime God, Brimmy and Yharon

#

Since they are the only ones listed

manic coral
sinful adder
#

Oh

manic coral
#

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)

sinful adder
#

Are these listed anywhere?

dusk laurel
#

Cei are any of the elementals other than Silva sapient?

sinful adder

Outside of the game

I typed that first

Sadly can't prove it

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

patent rover

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

sick void
#

i think its from weakest to strongest yes

light linden
#

things do get a little muddy when some bosses are in the same tier though

#

e.g. scal and exo mechs

eager bluff
#

if there are multiple bosses at the same progression point (i.e. mechs) you can generally swap em around with little to no consequence

sick void
#

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

paper basin
#

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?

eager bluff
#

you see

sick void
#

primordial wyrm was blessed by two gods i think

eager bluff
#

jared is like

#

the second oldest thing in the game

dusk laurel

and also blessed by silva

His name is Jared?

the elementals might be older

Cool cool

sick void
#

it doesnt know who xeroc is even though its supposed to guard the terminus

paper basin
#

I forget, did xeroc kill the dragon leader or just camp his corpse?

sick void
#

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.

eager bluff
#

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

paper basin
#

It’s kinda funny he ate the soul and just dipped, does he even do anything after that?

sick void
#

we at least know he made a rock.

eager bluff
#

no

#

he took the rock from the aerie

gritty kraken

xeroc is on a mission to find noxus at the moment

paper basin
#

So is Xeroc most powerful, anything above him?

sick void

he didnt even make the rock. goddamn.

eager bluff

#

its a stone xeroc you didnt make it

paper basin

He stole a soul, then a rock, godly power really does make you humble

pliant ruin

he didnt steal the rock

its just a random ass rock

we dont know

pliant ruin

smokes a fat blunt sometimes

we just know hes doing something

gritty kraken

protec terraria from big threat I sthink

paper basin
#

He became a god and did the same thing I did at like ten years old and started taking rocks home

sick void
eager bluff
#

well no

#

yharim most certainly does give a fuck about what the gods do

#

he just cant figure out what xeroc is doing

light linden
#

he knows what he did

#

but can't track the giant lightbulb of a sigil ig

eager bluff
#

ok well

sick void
#

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

eager bluff
#

lets assume xeroc is the size of a train

pliant ruin
#

i mean some gods treat mortals pretty damn well its more so just the former

paper basin

Yharim also quit doing shit, he just got depressed and just lounges around

what do you expect them to do

#

go around killing everyone for no reason

#

i mean yeah yharim kinda did that

paper basin

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

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

why would she preemptively kill you

she hunts you down because you just killed her polycule

So one of a kind of a species

dusk laurel

Crabulon is like a super hyper shroomed Hermititan

Aka super crabyceps

sick void

Unclear? The crab is a species from the sunken sea but I think only one got taken over by the spores

paper basin

Why are the aquatic and desert scourges, scourges?

dusk laurel

Crabulon is a special indiviual among the Hermititans that ran from the incineration

Why are they scorned?

Sea serpent

When do you think the game takes place year-wise?

light crag
#

Ah, so 1887 is the earliest it could be, correct

#

Actually, 1888, since he says over 660

paper basin
#

660 years just for me to tear them apart in a couple minutes

light crag
#

But that's just semantics lol

sick void
#

Semantics also say he could've meant a few months

light crag
#

Fair

#

But I personally think it's been at least 2 years since he made the Exo Mechs

paper basin
#

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

sick void

Not explained

Probably not canon

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

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

# light crag Imagine if it was tho lol

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

paper basin
#

That campaign would have to be like 1-20

sick void
split mortar

#

That is true

I was just thinking about how that would set the game in at least 2580 which is funny

Calamity already has post game superbosses planned

Noxus and xeroc

Planned being the keyword

light crag
#

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?

eager bluff
#

its uncertain

split mortar
#

But her lore item is one of the very few things that will ever get re wrote iirc

light crag
#

Hm?

sick void
#

Empress of Light wields Primordial Light which is Xeroc's thing so probably the last one

paper basin
#

So Noxus is older than Xeroc?

dusk laurel
#

Yes

#

Noxus created CV

sick void
#

Distortion is older than Terraria yeah

dusk laurel
#

CV is miles older than Xeroc

light linden
#

it seems to have an interest in god essence

light crag
#

So fey like her are a natural species then, and she's probably just one of the bigger/stronger/older ones?

light linden
#

we don't know why

split mortar
sick void
#

No calamity explanation for them

light linden
#

could be for decor, could be absorbing it, could be because he hates the evil biomes and doesn't want more to appear

light crag
#

It's just that Pixies are obviously very different from what Empress is

sick void
#

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)

light crag
#

True, true

#

Another question, what do you think the deity who the Lihzahrds worshipped was?

light linden
#

kinda hard to know

sick void
#

Probably the god of the sun if there ever was one

because xeroc fits the bill

Is Silva the one whose vines are in the abyss?
