[dusk laurel]

honestly no

[pliant ruin]

wasnt it a oligarchy

[candid shadow]

noes

[cloud ibex]

/ do you think it used to be a god-worshipping society until Yharim rolled along

[pliant ruin]

doubt

otherwise they'd not have allied with my guy

unless it was like a tyrannical god in which case i mean yeah

[dusk laurel]

i like the idea of it transitioning into a more oligarchic system before the crusade began

[cloud ibex]

fair

[candid shadow]

what is a terraria calamity

[pliant ruin]

a minecraft mod

[split mortar]

💥

[strong notch]

story of calamity

[candid shadow]

I see

[late veldt]

wasn't it an oligarchy?

[cloud ibex]

[split mortar]

Minecraft itself, even having a huge major update being split into 2

[candid shadow]

yo guys

[dusk laurel]

That's what the writers want to do

[candid shadow]

if you had to describe undertale using only touhou analogies

[dusk laurel]

not confirmed yet

[candid shadow]

how would yall describe it

[pliant ruin]

ok i'm off now

[dusk laurel]

Baii

[split mortar]

Bai

[cloud ibex]

i didn't remember if it was already answered in the lore items i just wanted to steer the channel back on topic

[dusk laurel]

True

I love boars

[candid shadow]

boars are cool

[limpid saddle]

i dont know touhou

[dusk laurel]

summons 30 unnamed pig fans

[cloud ibex]

idk man better to ask in gen media or something probably

[dusk laurel]

Erm

what the deuce

[limpid saddle]

theres like a bucket girl or something right

[dusk laurel]

Yes

[candid shadow]

yeah

I forgor her name but she's Touhou 11's first boss

[limpid saddle]

& shrine maidens have to kill a librarian & a vampire?

[candid shadow]

that's touhou 6

[dusk laurel]

not really

[candid shadow]

like

they just kill youkai

or defeat tbh

cuz she usually doesn't kill youkai

[cloud ibex]

[candid shadow]

she only kills fairies

[dusk laurel]

shrine maiden (singular) investigates a red mist

[candid shadow]

cuz they can revive n stuff

[split mortar]

Red mist

Mist red

[limpid saddle]

i hate project moon so much

[dusk laurel]

touhou project: moon

[split mortar]

CHEESE PROJECT MOON MENTIONED COME BACK

[dusk laurel]

Anyways uh

[split mortar]

Lorous

[dusk laurel]

I don't want Leon to kill me

so

[scenic olive]

wat wuld be the opposite of Calamitas

[dusk laurel]

📘

[eager bluff]

satimalac

[strong notch]

satimalaC

[dusk laurel]

same braincell

[split mortar]

What the fanon interpretation of her is

[scenic olive]

Wait wrong emoji

[limpid saddle]

peacetimes

[scenic olive]

[austere egret]

[split mortar]

Since calamitas is spelled wrong

Peacetims

[dusk laurel]

Kælemitæs

[split mortar]

How good would calamitas be at unclogging a clogged kitchen sink

[pliant ruin]

not good

[scenic olive]

she can use mini sepulcher to clean it

[pliant ruin]

she probably lived a very sheltered life for the most part and the other half likely was living in a enviroment known as Cave where unclogging a kitchen sink would not be particularly needed

So in other words

Not good

[split mortar]

Could she make a grilled cheese

[dusk laurel]

I wonder if she wore a form of Demonshade during her time before leaving the Yharmy

[eager bluff]

how many souls of the damned do you want in your grilled cheese

[dusk laurel]

Since her robes were gotten afterwards

[indigo glade]

At least ten.

[split mortar]

Eh the usual but take some away

[pliant ruin]

that one is easy enough i think she could do it

she probably would need some survival skills given Cave anyways

so i imagine she'd actually be decent at knowing the right temperature to cook things without burning them, though it may have taken some time to learn

[split mortar]

Could she make a grilled parmiigianoreggiano

[dusk laurel]

I mean

[pliant ruin]

well parmiigianoreggiano is usually sold in large blocks that require you to slice it yourself aswell as being a hardier cheese that requires a more specific temperature to melt nicely

so id say she might have a bit more trouble with that one

[split mortar]

Cool cheese facts with cheese

[candid shadow]

could calamitas make a chocolate cake

?

[strong notch]

Yeah but it would be either insanely hot one or cryo cold one

in any case do not eat it

[pliant ruin]

My money is on no

She would not have the ingredients nor the utensils to make a chocolate cake in Cave

and i doubt she'd make any cakes in her childhood at yharim's army given i imagine she was highly pampered and sheltered

[candid shadow]

do u think calamitas could beat calamitas (like, calamitas playing terraria calamity)

[pliant ruin]

yeah

gamer

[candid shadow]

final uestion

Do u think

hmmmMmMmmM

[strong notch]

there is only one real gamer in calamity

[candid shadow]

lunarcheese, are u an actual human or are u actually a unicellular organism made out of cheese

[pliant ruin]

draedon is a factorio gamer calamitas is like a variety gamer

[candid shadow]

?

[pliant ruin]

im lunarcheese

[candid shadow]

got em in 4k

[mighty zenith]

calamitas' main game is stardew

[candid shadow]

I knew they were not hooman

*fume han

*humph man

*human

[split mortar]

They are cheese what did you expect

[pliant ruin]

each day that passes i grow more spiteful towards this headcanon and the background behind it tbh

its kinda bleh

[candid shadow]

fr fr fr fr fr fr fr fr

[pliant ruin]

the headcanon by itself is fine honestly its just

everything behind it

[mighty zenith]

whar...

[candid shadow]

idk what stardew valley is

but yk

[pliant ruin]

its part of a issue i have with the entire "calamitas has ptsd/is traumatized so she just only like comfy and calm and cozy things" mindset alot of ppl in this community seem to have/had

as saomeone with ptsd myself its just kinda bleh

[candid shadow]

u got ptsd from fighting calamitas

or worse

[pliant ruin]

no

i have

actual

ptsd

[split mortar]

She likes stardew valley because shecan actually bake a chocolate cake

[pliant ruin]

like the actual mental disorder

[candid shadow]

oh

my bad

[mighty zenith]

i get it

but tbh ive grown out of that cause

stardew is not cozy

[scenic olive]

If a moon sized cheese is falling towards the planet what would Permafrost do

[mighty zenith]

well
its cozy at the start

[scenic olive]

[mighty zenith]

then its chore simulator

[dusk laurel]

fridge

planet sized cryogen

[pliant ruin]

cryogenical

[scenic olive]

Put it in the fridge

[real silo]

Permafrost would pull a saitama

He's just him

[pliant ruin]

permafrost is just a silly man

i love him

[real silo]

If you

[pliant ruin]

hes whimsical

[dusk laurel]

altrightia

[real silo]

I would never be a political alignment

[pliant ruin]

im cheese

[dusk laurel]

how much cheese is the moon made of

[real silo]

Just a moonful

[dusk laurel]

how lunar

[late veldt]

So like. how does Hardmode effect the rest of the planet?

[split mortar]

I assume not much

Since wof only nukes this continent

[late veldt]

I mean, yes, but there are changes unrelated to the Evil Biome Spread

I imagine the effects that aren't crimson-corruption related might have a larger spread

like more 'distilled' souls that affect everything else or something

[pliant ruin]

i mean unless there's other divine essence bioems out there

probably not much

[candid shadow]

Guys do people in terraria reproduce through mitosis

?

[mighty zenith]

maybe

[pliant ruin]

do slimes count as people

[split mortar]

Dont think so

[candid shadow]

No I mean ppl like calamitas

[split mortar]

Then no

[candid shadow]

There's no proof they reproduce in another way so tbh mitosis isn't that ruled out

[scenic olive]

But cei says hallow is unique

[candid shadow]

my headcannon is that yharim had Calamitas cuz he did mitois

[scenic olive]

[candid shadow]

*mitosis

my bad

pls pls pls don't slain me over my grammar-

[scenic olive]

so it must be one of a kind

[split mortar]

Wouldnt mitosis result in calamitas being

genetically a clone of yharim

[pliant ruin]

yes

also uh ignoring the fact calamitas has

yknow

parents

[candid shadow]

hMmMmMmMmmMm

suspicious

I don't buy it 😤

[light linden]

what did I just read?

[dusk laurel]

The horrors

[clear girder]

i wonder how tall Yharim is

[dusk laurel]

8ft+

[clear girder]

how..

[cloud ibex]

attunement™️ presumably

i personally like to imagine that attunement gives you some faint dragon-esque traits, such as them living extremely long lives

[light linden]

I still wonder if yharon can bring things back other than auric dragons

imagine if he just

brings back yharim

[mighty zenith]

i doubt that

[light linden]

that'd be fucked storytelling wise

[mighty zenith]

i think its just things with auric souls

[light linden]

oh also

do we know if yharon looked different before he got his auric soul?

[cloud ibex]

no

[split mortar]

Theres been a irl person who was nearly 9 foot iirc

[pliant ruin]

i imagien he probably did, i like to headcanon all dragons looked different before obtaining auric souls

though not as drastically cahnged by their domain as uh

gods

since all dragonjs still look reptilain and gods uh

yeah

stares at the goop ball and the giant flaming rock angel

funny what-if but imagine if old duke got an auric soul

auric soul of irradiation would

actually make sense

its a natural part of the world

[hoary berry]

#lore-discussion message just a dev statement (and explicitly an opinion) but still of note

[pliant ruin]

but

i do wonder how an auric soul of irradiaton would change OD

I kinda picture him uh

basically becoming like the blight from batman bleyond

[dusk laurel]

Living nuclear reactor

[pliant ruin]

I can also see

one of the auric souls of sins fitting him

maybe pride or wrath

[light linden]

sloth

[dusk laurel]

OD is not sloth imo

Doesn't fit his character

[light linden]

I mean

[pliant ruin]

He's not really lazy, if anything he's really proactive

[light linden]

his fight revolves around him getting tired

[dusk laurel]

That's because

[pliant ruin]

He's actively making sure his reign over the sulphur sea isn't ended

[dusk laurel]

it's old

Not because it's lazy

[pliant ruin]

Enslaving fishrons n stuff

[dusk laurel]

It actively kills anything it deems as a potential threat

[manic coral]

becuase it's old as hell, not lazy

[dusk laurel]

Exactly

[ruby heart]

the auric soul of time (rot, stasis)

[wheat walrus]

continent level

[dusk laurel]

[wheat walrus]

[pliant ruin]

idk if time could be an auric soul since auric souls hav to b part of the world soul and thus part of the world as in the planet

tiem si more of a univrsal concept

same reason why there isnt a auric soul of cosmos or w/e

[split mortar]

-# gravity

[dusk laurel]

melon stop stealing my braincells

[split mortar]

[wheat walrus]

universe level+ (4d)

[dusk laurel]

💥

[hoary berry]

[wheat walrus]

i have nothing left to lose i am the pomnkler

[split mortar]

Yharim is beyond space (shakidou) and xeroc can break timeless objects above yharim (aerie)

Xeroc clearly outerfuck you

[light linden]

@wheat walrus powerscaling talk

[wheat walrus]

yes yharim is beyond concepts

high outer xeroc

[light linden]

wait they're already here lmao

[dusk laurel]

When will the auric soul of powerscaling get revealed

smh

[wheat walrus]

[dusk laurel]

important concept to Calamity

[light linden]

sorry omni

[wheat walrus]

there is no such thing, for I embody powerscaling in calamity mod lore

i am canon

i am the terrarian

who is me

and you

i am you

[split mortar]

You are below xeroc then

And thus

Below old woman

[wheat walrus]

no

I beat the old woman already

[split mortar]

Proof?

[wheat walrus]

and also nameless xeroc

[light linden]

god y'all aren't gonna forget about that lmao

[wheat walrus]

🩸
🖐️

[split mortar]

Nameless not xeorc
Xeric scales above namless

[wheat walrus]

my hand is stained with the blood of a thousand xeroc-beating grandmas

[light linden]

what's her name then?

[wheat walrus]

and xeroc

[dusk laurel]

I scale above tmodloader

[wheat walrus]

and namelss xeroc

[wheat walrus]

I don't know I 1shotted her before asking

[light linden]

where was she?

[wheat walrus]

i beat grandma no concept of difficulty

[wheat walrus]

bro i nuked america

[late veldt]

Draedon mentions a 'Heart of Yharim's Empire', but I assume it was not the Aerie due to Draedon's inability to locate such. is it known where this was?

[wheat walrus]

and sensed her life energy disappear immediately cause I was that strong

[light linden]

azafure iirc

[dusk laurel]

Azafure presumably

[split mortar]

Azafure?

[dusk laurel]

I mean

[cloud ibex]

gravity has already been mentioned but if we want to be pedantic some things like life and death aren't exclusively part of the planet either

[clear girder]

What is the nameless deity's goals right now? Or is he just sitting in space or something and doing nothing.

[dusk laurel]

it was where he started the Crusade after all

and it is very important in the story

[wheat walrus]

what about terrarians (life) and yharim (death)

[pliant ruin]

wait true

chat i mightve just been yapping bs

i swear i heard it somewhere

i guess not

[cloud ibex]

we know that there's life outside of Terraria, and if there's life outside of the planet there's also death outside of it

[light linden]

also random thing

I'd kinda like to know more about how certain gods were worshipped

aside from just providence

[cloud ibex]

tending to the universe i'd guess

[dusk laurel]

Temples

sacrifices

[wheat walrus]

yea no the idea that domains are more tied to terraria is something that was brought up at 1 point

[dusk laurel]

^

[light linden]

that's where

not how

[dusk laurel]

Faith

[wheat walrus]

but it's definitely not set-in-stone or even that solid

like really the only thing that is solid is that the concepts have to be part of terraria even if not exclusive to it ig maybe

[dusk laurel]

Thunder just wait for SSO smh

[indigo glade]

Primordial Light, too.

The biggest source of it is literally outside of Terraria.

[cloud ibex]

true

[light linden]

that's only for 2 of em

[dusk laurel]

BCO

[indigo glade]

Plus, the World Soul can mean many things.

World doesn't only mean planet.

It could also mean universe.

[split mortar]

Omg auric souls have the power of the universe

[indigo glade]

Die.

[wheat walrus]

universe level

[light linden]

I wanna know about shakidou and the god of sacrifices specifically

[pliant ruin]

i mean

headcanons r a thing

tho i feel like we probably might end up knowing about GoS

[dusk laurel]

Sacrifices is kinda obvious

[pliant ruin]

since knowing how it was worshipped is a big way of uh

knowing if its evil or not

[pliant ruin]

not really

sacrifices is a way more broad concept

than ppl think

[split mortar]

Uni+ because 3D soace and time

[light linden]

sacrifices can mean more than just human

[wheat walrus]

uni+ is 4d

[light linden]

could mean fasting for example

[indigo glade]

Sacrifice money.

[wheat walrus]

anyways it's actually low multiverse level cause terraria is made of 115 timelines in calamity mod lore,,,

[dusk laurel]

im not talking about human sacrifices smh

[split mortar]

Damn

[light linden]

I'm also wondering if there was anyone worshipping the sun and xeroc by proxy

[dusk laurel]

Probably

[clear girder]

Most likely

[dusk laurel]

I mean why wouldn't there be worshippers of the sun

[split mortar]

Lihzahrds worshipped the suns heat

[dusk laurel]

It's a very important thing for like, most functions

It gives light, lets plants and subsequently macroscopic life on land to exist

heat too

[ruby heart]

Space (gravity) is one

[light linden]

hi triangle

[split mortar]

Thats been mentioned 4 times total now

[late veldt]

Iirc deus doesn't die after the fight right?

[pliant ruin]

ya

it just goes back to space

even if its uh

not conveyed ingame rn xd

[cloud ibex]

i can imagine its new "death" animation being something like

it stopping for a second before molting and shedding its infected skin and then flying off

[dusk laurel]

That's what I imagined too

[spare pier]

May I remind you that Gods aren't bound to being natural aspects of the world because the entire point of Gods is how they twist the Auric Soul into something else

[scenic olive]

How does underground jungle grows

wit no light

[dusk laurel]

uhhhhh

they don't need light

[scenic olive]

Why does it need chlorophyll anyway

[dusk laurel]

i forgot this important aspect of cal lore

[scenic olive]

since theres no light

[dusk laurel]

plants don't need light

[scenic olive]

Plants defy the law of physics is the answer

[indigo glade]

Simple. They don't use photosynthesis for food generation.

[spare pier]

I would also say something about the World Soul but I think it's best I don't

[indigo glade]

Tell.

[spare pier]

I need to remind myself that thing just

Works 50 times better if you don't know shit about it

[scenic olive]

like how elementals are born

Does other planets have elementals too

[shut tide]

Thats a good question actually

[scenic olive]

Or are they exclusive to the planet were in

[cosmic zenith]

The World Soul is gay

[hoary berry]

it's just like me fr

[mighty zenith]

groundbreaking lore

[spring helm]

first thing i see when i look at the lore channel

[wheat walrus]

fre ma che stai a dì??

[light linden]

stip can I ask yet another question about dragons?

[cosmic zenith]

Yeah!

[light linden]

how many of the offshoots are sapient?

if any

[split mortar]

-# im pretty sure they like answering what questions they can

[split mortar]

Old duke and jared are iirc
Others i aint sure on

[light linden]

I'm tryna write something specifically about wyverns

[split mortar]

Ah ok

Hope that goes well

[light linden]

but kinda need to know if any were sapient

and if not I'd need to change course

[cosmic zenith]

Yes, there were sapient offshoots

Wyverns are, for example

We don't even give a number of existing offshoots, so telling you how many are sapient wouldn't be immediately possible

[split mortar]

Honestly surprised they are

[light linden]

thanks

[limpid saddle]

Wait so they aren't animals they're just massive assholes?

[light linden]

iirc

Yharim said that draconic offshoots were viciously hunted

to the point of extinction in some cases

not sure if I can entire trust what he says about gods and dragons but it is the only info we have

[limpid saddle]

I can get the 'oh they're defending themselves' argument with something like Dragonfolly, where we synthetically make mating pheromones & lure it out to murder it

But with Wyverns

we're just up there

[dusk laurel]

#calamity-update-talk message

[limpid saddle]

& they go 'oh I GOTTA kill that guy'

[dusk laurel]

cluebed

[limpid saddle]

Ok but why does that mean they have to ram into us so fast we explode into horrible viscera

[dusk laurel]

Shrimple

you got near the wall of flesh

[pulsar ocean]

theyre predators and we're prey

[light linden]

yeah there's also that

they kinda don't have the means to farm things

so they gotta eat what they can

[limpid saddle]

They have claws

they could make a field if they wanted to

[light linden]

doesn't mean they can grab things

[limpid saddle]

it's natures hoe (as in the garden implement)

[pulsar ocean]

we are multiple times smaller than a wyvern so it just makes sense for them to attack as because they see us as an easy target

[light linden]

also uh

can wyverns even eat plants?

[dusk laurel]

Why can't they

[light linden]

I mean

[limpid saddle]

Good question but I dont see why they wouldnt be able to if (presumably) Dragons were omnivores

[light linden]

if they could there would be a lot less plantlife in the air

and even then

they're in the sky, not much reason to be able to eat plants

[limpid saddle]

Maybe they're just stupid & haven't really figured it out yet

[light linden]

since aside from sky islands there's like

no plants

[limpid saddle]

as humanity has proven sapient doesnt mean smart

[limpid saddle]

It's not like they couldn't survive the lower pressure enviornments on the ground

& there is all of Chrysidia to consider

[light linden]

I mean

[dusk laurel]

This assumes they have a high population

and need to eat a lot

[light linden]

maybe but also they don't live there for a reason

it's like when we go diving

we can for a while but we can't live there

[limpid saddle]

Ok so get some Wyverns on rotation

It's not like the idiots ever get tired of flying

[dusk laurel]

Also, the Sky Islands that we can see are way smaller than whatever is in the original heart of Chrysadia

[limpid saddle]

Except I guess to sleep

[dusk laurel]

It's like the Crags rn

[limpid saddle]

what they said

[dusk laurel]

we only enter the outer regions

Like, it isn't a floating continent

but i doubt the central islands are really small

especially with a society that organized

[cosmic zenith]

They aren't massive assholes

Just overprotective of their territory

And there's also some other stuff that hasn't been revelaed yet that contextualizes it better

That said, it would be great to have the option to befriend the Wyverns

[light linden]

I wonder which dragon could fly the fastest

[split mortar]

If not zeratros id imagine one like storms

[light linden]

I feel like there wouldn't be a dragon of speed of all things

[cosmic zenith]

I already shared the rewritten Bestiary entry for them, it clarifies some things and very vaguely hints a an important other (that can't be speculated about)

[manic coral]

i'

oops

[light linden]

hi cei

[split mortar]

…

[manic coral]

why does Enter have to be next to the ' key

my hand slips too easily

[split mortar]

Oh

[keen crystal]

Sapience doesn't matter all too much, I'm just gonna systematically annihilate them, fund conservation efforts to bring them back to reasonable numbers, then continue to dunk on them.

[mighty zenith]

new lore drop

[manic coral]

i forgot what i was going to say now because of that

[spare pier]

Lmao?????

[dusk laurel]

Classic

[light linden]

not sure about zeratros tbh

just because they're the strongest doesn't mean they're the fastest

[split mortar]

Light is also known for being

The fastest thing possible

[light linden]

yeah but I also doubt that zeratros was made of light

[indigo glade]

Well, clearly it started with " i' ".

[late veldt]

is shit not born with auric souls??

[dusk laurel]

nope

[wheat walrus]

same

[dusk laurel]

the dragons already existed before they found out about the auric souls

[late veldt]

do they have their own agency or are they just. found. or earned

da souls

[dusk laurel]

they were passed out

[plucky lichen]

By who

[dusk laurel]

according to OD's bestiary entry

probably by the dragons

[plucky lichen]

Wow awesome

[dusk laurel]

they were more organized after all

[manic coral]

yeah they had their own society and shit

they weren't just animals

i mean, take yharon, for example

[late veldt]

where the hell did they come from? I say as if that has an answer

maybe the aerie, but like, I was under the assumption it's power moreso came from the dragons themselves

[split mortar]

Dragons before being auric were

Dragons, normal creatures that prob leaned into the magical side of creatures a bit more

[limpid saddle]

Im more interested in this whole 'Auric Souls just kind of floated around instead of being embedded into a bestowed dragon at birth' thing

[dusk laurel]

they found the world soul and then shit followed, presumably

[late veldt]

I believe particular dragons were. like. sorta elected or chosen to have em.

[late veldt]

fuck even is the world soul I'm still confused about that

[limpid saddle]

What they started mining it or it naturally split as different aspects found themselves attracted to certain sub-sects of Dragons?

[dusk laurel]

I mean it shattered

who knows what that implies

[late veldt]

why is fucking everything in calamity a million tiny eeny teeny pieces

[limpid saddle]

elden ring reference

[limpid saddle]

also a good question

[split mortar]

Living things have a soul
World has soul
Worlds soul is big fuck you strong and it shattered which let auric dragons happe

[late veldt]

ohhhhh, it's where the auric souls come from? and then return too

[split mortar]

World is or was alive

[split mortar]

They dont return to it afaik

[late veldt]

Perhaps the age of dragons could return if one found out how to repeat history and shatter it again?

Oh fuck

I coulda sworn that's where all the god essence fucks off too

[split mortar]

God essence doesnt go anywhere
It just grows slowly

[split mortar]

Tbf the world soul may be
Completely gone, we dunno if it was a small bit breaking or the entire thing went kablooey

[limpid saddle]

Well if it shattered again I think there wouldnt be a World Soul given how many fundamental aspects of reality went with it the first time around

[late veldt]

damne

[split mortar]

-# world soul doesnt hold concepts…

[limpid saddle]

Yeah but it gives out powers iver those domains of concepts

[late veldt]

also that makes me wonder if anything other than a dragon got an auric Saul ever

soul

[limpid saddle]

& if the World Soul went 100% dark forever who knows what consequences that could have

The very core of the planet could start rotting away

[dusk laurel]

Not really

for example

[split mortar]

-# fovos did appear at some point after it went boom

[dusk laurel]

auric soul domains

they changed and disappeared a lot once gods started becoming a thing

[split mortar]

Btw the one mention of the world soul is yharons bestiary entry

[late veldt]

wait so how come a dragon can absorb an auric soul just fine with no consequence but if some other fucker does it it becomes fucked up unstable soul slurry

[split mortar]

We dunno
Maybe all dragons had been taught how to do a world soul version of a perfect ascension and so were more stable but thats just my theory

[late veldt]

Wait would a perfectly ascended God's soul explode after death?

[split mortar]

We also dunno
One cant die
The other is so strong nothing can kill it

[late veldt]

Maybe the dragons all had perfect ascensions, and they're all technically 'gods'

The reason Xeroc knew about the Terminus and perfect ascension was because Zeratros told him how the dragons ascended

Am I big brain or big dumbass

[limpid saddle]

Well we dont know that

& didnt Xeroc make Terminus?

[indigo glade]

Can someone point to me towards a few messages about Distortion's whole deal. I remember StipulateVenus using various different explanations for what it exactly was, but I don't remember the exact wording.

[dusk laurel]

Yes

[late veldt]

no I was still hypothesizing there

[dusk laurel]

Well

it was another dev statement

but like

it's essentially confirmation until stated otherwise

[late veldt]

what other dev statement

[dusk laurel]

yes, Xeroc's soul will just turn into essence after death

[split mortar]

Xeroc did make the god ritual so i think there is def some underlying differences but i could see that def helping

[tropic oak]

im gonna eat the essence im xeroc 2

[late veldt]

exactly

[split mortar]

Honestly i wonder what happens to said essence

Does it just, make a new sun or become its own entire god essence biome or?

[dusk laurel]

idk

[tropic oak]

i am to the personal belief that killing xeroc is going to have dire consequences for the world

[dusk laurel]

true

he kinda like has the job of preventing another Moonlord incident

[split mortar]

Yeah

And also stops the sun from baking the surface into a fucking crisp

With turbo skin cancer

[limpid saddle]

Also given Embers shows the sun went with him when Xeroc left I think he controls it somehow?

[late veldt]

Damn I wonder if I figured everything out or am just fucking stupid

[limpid saddle]

So it might just uh vanish

Or dim

[tropic oak]

THE SUN will BLOW UP upon XEROCS DEATH

[limpid saddle]

kirby super star nova style?

[languid badge]

chat what if terminus was the way people absorbed auric souls
and thats how the method has been lost

[split mortar]

It didnt blow up

It disappeared
No trace
Gone

[dusk laurel]

I mean

it's the source of primordial light after all

[limpid saddle]

Could be a sick asf art idea

[robust osprey]

I ate it sorry

[dusk laurel]

👁️

[late veldt]

what the hell is Yharon gonna do when he comes back lmao

[limpid saddle]

Fractured sigil of Xeroc faintly illuminating the world against a dark sky

[tropic oak]

cry

[limpid saddle]

yeah probably

[dusk laurel]

Accept reality or kill himself if he can

[tropic oak]

that or he is our dragon now

so ez….

[limpid saddle]

???

[tropic oak]

i mean we are gonna kill yharim eventually

yharon is OURS….

[limpid saddle]

no way in hell would Yharon join up with us after we murdered his best friend & also him

[late veldt]

Honestly I think Draedon might go kill his ass so he can make miracle matter

[tropic oak]

[late veldt]

and auric

[dusk laurel]

So true

you are not the first or last to think of this

[tropic oak]

draedon? kill yharon?

[late veldt]

totally could

[dusk laurel]

the exo mechs are already stronger than Yharon

[limpid saddle]

My assumption is he would attempt to negotiate Yharon's agreement to be tested to better understand auric souls while within a living vessel rather than murder

[dusk laurel]

he could just make a bunch of exo twins and beat the shit out of him

[tropic oak]

yes, however, i do not believe he would kill yharon. he’d rather plain study him

[late veldt]

especially with the scientific advancements of the however the fuck long it's gonna take Yharon's ass to return

[tropic oak]

if you remember in draedon’s logs he wishes he could

[limpid saddle]

before resorting to murder

[tropic oak]

but yharim told him to fuck offTM

[robust osprey]

in the time yharon comes back draedon would probably improve exos/make a shit ton of exos

[late veldt]

hm yeah

[robust osprey]

exo army

[limpid saddle]

Ares Assault Force

[split mortar]

Yharons powers also uh
Effect dead things so dead yharon can be studied

[late veldt]

but like also infinite potential

[limpid saddle]

devastating countries in hours

[tropic oak]

unleash the exo mechanical trio on america

[robust osprey]

exos take over europe

[late veldt]

Yeah honestly if Draedon couldn't negotiate an agreement he'd probably just murder him

[dusk laurel]

Draedon could probably realistically capture Yharon

maybe he could find out how to read through someone's memories and learn about what the auric souls actually are

[split mortar]

Scal when she was like mid teens was uh
Able to release on average about a tsar bomba of energy every second for four days straight nonstop high end according to omnis calculations iirc

Exos would fuck up any country they attack

This

[tropic oak]

Though i figure with Yharim’s eventual passing he’d more than likely become depressed if he is like any other animal

Draedon could just be like “come with me it aint all bad”

[late veldt]

he has a perfect replication of neural matter and knows it well enough to replicate it he could totally fucking do that

[tropic oak]

trust

[limpid saddle]

He uh isnt but he would still be sad

Like with any person when someone they hold a deep bond with dies

[robust osprey]

best friend hates draedon so yharon hates draedon too

[tropic oak]

So, depressed….lol…..

[limpid saddle]

Yeah but you described it like he was a dog

[tropic oak]

i said like any other animal?

[dusk laurel]

There are barely any animals who can be depressed afaik

[robust osprey]

but yharon isn't like average animals

[robust osprey]

dogs can and uh

cats I think??

[tropic oak]

ok but like if ur best buddy of a 100+ years died while you were dead and reforming would you not be depressed

[dusk laurel]

Yharon has seen worse

(the rest of the auric dragons were wiped out)

[split mortar]

And has no one left anymore

[tropic oak]

(he would more than likely still be marginally upset)

[robust osprey]

yharon lived the genocide of his race

and that's fucked up

[limpid saddle]

if Yharon held a funeral service for Yharim who do you think would show up

[languid badge]

draedon

and yharon

and thats it

[tropic oak]

fucking nobody

[languid badge]

maybe some of his army

[dusk laurel]

Yharon has to contend with the fact that he saw the beginning and the end of his own civilization, and then failed to get revenge

[split mortar]

The 3 musketeers
-# who ever the fuck is left of the crusaders

[tropic oak]

TRUE

[robust osprey]

Scal to throw swears to his grave

[languid badge]

cal might come just to spit on his grave

[dusk laurel]

That would depend on when the funeral is held

[limpid saddle]

i think Xeroc would show up

[languid badge]

true...

[dusk laurel]

Because Yharon might still be a stupid egg

[languid badge]

if hne's hosting the funerla

[limpid saddle]

I said if Yharon held a funeral service

[languid badge]

he's not an egg

[split mortar]

Eh maybe?
Doubt it since yharim did uh

Half the population

[dusk laurel]

Ah

[limpid saddle]

so obviously post-egg

[dusk laurel]

I don't think Xeroc will

There's just no reason to

[languid badge]

I dont think xeroc cares tbh

[dusk laurel]

and he barely shows up in Terraria at all

[languid badge]

would permafrost show up

[robust osprey]

xeroc is too busy breathing

[split mortar]

Like genuinely if yharim was a bit more successful i can see xeroc just

360 no scoping him with the sun

[languid badge]

nah

[limpid saddle]

Permafrost is a 50/50

[dusk laurel]

Activating the Terminus was an extremely rare occurence

since well

yk

[languid badge]

again xeroc is above earthly dwellings at that point

[limpid saddle]

I think if the Terrarian showed up Xeroc would too

[dusk laurel]

Xeroc has other priorities

[robust osprey]

also I never knew

what is the terminus

[split mortar]

Is he? Isnt it more implied that xeroc uh

Protects the planet

[limpid saddle]

Like all the nothing he's doing?

[dusk laurel]

[split mortar]

Oldest and strongest artefact we know of afaik

That uh

[limpid saddle]

Sipping tea up in the sun while he scrapes rocks off the Dragon Aerie?

[split mortar]

Thats it i think

[dusk laurel]

Some weird item that used to hold great power, possibly responsible for the perfect ascension

[robust osprey]

ooh

I see

[dusk laurel]

Also it's getting redesigned

[robust osprey]

I know

[dusk laurel]

It's funny

[robust osprey]

piss terminus

[gaunt sluice]

If someone ate a god soul would the power multiply

[dusk laurel]

it actually will look consistent with the Rock now

[split mortar]

Termipiss

[dusk laurel]

except submerged for centuries

[robust osprey]

no I think you can't absorbe god soul

[late veldt]

wait is the Terminus supposed to be made of Aerie?

[split mortar]

Its likely is

[dusk laurel]

eating wouldn't be as effective as absorbing it through a ritual

also it is additive

[gaunt sluice]

Yall I beat Infernum skeletron

[dusk laurel]

not multiplicative

[limpid saddle]

Given that the service is 10 years on from thr Tyrant's death, it's safe to assume Noxus is dead, Xeroc is basically free to do whatever, whenever, like show up to hia very late funeral

[gaunt sluice]

Fair enough

[dusk laurel]

That's assuming Noxus is the only threat left

[limpid saddle]

good job you should probably go to #calamity-addon-talk though

[limpid saddle]

Noxus seems like the only major threat to the planet

[pliant ruin]

meow

[dusk laurel]

mrrp

[gaunt sluice]

Yea but I know people here

[tropic oak]

noxus my goat

[split mortar]

Fair

[pliant ruin]

hi chat ia m back from roydeving how r we doing what r we talking about

[limpid saddle]

I doubt there's just a legion fovos look-alikes waiting for Xeroc to look away for a second to wreak havoc

[dusk laurel]

I mean

[split mortar]

Aerie stuff

[dusk laurel]

you never know

[gaunt sluice]

Magic aerie rock in the abyss

[tropic oak]

noxus siccing his hivemind on xeroc all to ez….

[dusk laurel]

noxus will be slain

[split mortar]

Xeroc like
Fucks up noxus

Like

[tropic oak]

i know this

[split mortar]

Kills

[pliant ruin]

you see xeroc is the god of light

[tropic oak]

i am Joking

[pliant ruin]

noxus can just turn the lights off

[limpid saddle]

If he has the time to watch us kill all like 32 bosses sequentially he had the time to attend a funeral

[pliant ruin]

gg . Easy

[tropic oak]

TRUTH

[pliant ruin]

Noxus can just wait for it to be night

[tropic oak]

What if Noxus attacked at NIGHT TIME…

[dusk laurel]

I think whenever the boss rush gets overhauled

[gaunt sluice]

Nighttime Providence flashbacks

[robust osprey]

xeroc pulls out cosmolight

[dusk laurel]

they should cut some of the bosses from it

[pliant ruin]

isn't the point of boss rush to be

yknow

a boss rush

tho

[limpid saddle]

Noxus when Xeroc snaps his fingers & it's dawn again:

[dusk laurel]

flashlight

[pliant ruin]

i just

hope and pray

that xeroc isnt locked behind boss rush

worst game design deicison ever please dont do it

[limpid saddle]

They should 100% do that

[split mortar]

Make it so you get jumoed by every boss in the tier at once in boss rush

Lock yharnam behind boss rush

[gaunt sluice]

Xeroc bouta be released in 2135 y'all don't gotta worry about it

[pliant ruin]

yharnam

[dusk laurel]

jumo

[robust osprey]

xeroc tomorrow

[tropic oak]

XEROC TOMORROW

[dusk laurel]

[limpid saddle]

A Yharon & Yharim team-up fight would be so peak im not gonna lie

Just realised this probably looks utterly incomprehensible to outsiders

[dusk laurel]

then why is that acronym LA

[plucky lichen]

Eris and bag

[robust osprey]

can confirm

[dusk laurel]

outlanders know naught of the woes that befell our lands

[split mortar]

She was about to give the military a 40% budget increase

She isnt

[dusk laurel]

Incredible

[plucky lichen]

She’s like

[pliant ruin]

it's ok lucia will save us

[dusk laurel]

Close enough, welcome back ||Vladimir Putin||

[pliant ruin]

lucia will save lealand economy (literally)

[plucky lichen]

Free military

[dusk laurel]

What psychopath names an entire country after herself

[plucky lichen]

She didn’t really name it iirc

[split mortar]

And if that doesnt the guy i plan on adding should help stop her funding the military 300% more then the global gpa

[dusk laurel]

So it was a collective effort

[plucky lichen]

That’s just what everyone calls it

[split mortar]

Lea land?

[dusk laurel]

[pliant ruin]

i love how

the rp is so universal in the cal lore community that we can just talk abt it in lore chat and like everyone understands

[tropic oak]

(i dont :( )

[late veldt]

I was surprised to see the squid fella not present

[plucky lichen]

Rp wiki when

[split mortar]

When almost all of lore chat is in sscls and rp has almost all of sscls in it

Yeah that happens a bit

[pliant ruin]

yeah

[split mortar]

Moonlord?

[plucky lichen]

:(

[pliant ruin]

he was but then he fucking died

[late veldt]

other squid

[dusk laurel]

Calamari?

[split mortar]

Oh
Idk who you on ablut if not fovos

[dusk laurel]

Calamari is the only squid oc I can think of, and yeah Reb is playing a entirely different character

why did you out me like that

[plucky lichen]

It’s funny

[dusk laurel]

[light linden]

Y'all think Draedon has ever tried to make a robotic dragon?

ik he's made a weapon based on dragons

seems like the kinda thing Yharim would ask Draedon to make

[split mortar]

Possibly

I can see it happen

[light linden]

it'd be interesting to see him try to make something that flies with wings instead of thrusters

although I feel like that'd end up similar to voidwyrms from ark

[late veldt]

why is that emoji called that and what potion is it

[dusk laurel]

I have a right to remain silent

[late veldt]

pretty please?

[dusk laurel]

Err

Fine

The name was just chosen on a whim incase i really needed it, and that potion is just someone's interpretation of a greater healing potion

[late veldt]

oh that's painfully boring

I thought that would have been like. oncecest potion or something

[dusk laurel]

exactly

[spare pier]

Hi Felicia

[spare pier]

Tbh Calamari doesn't work in a setting like that

She is mute

[spring helm]

lmao

i mean ebonia's also mute so

[dusk laurel]

What

[spare pier]

That's literally how Felicia speaks

[patent tiger]

is silva a god or elemental

[gritty kraken]

Both I think

[eager bluff]

both

shes an elemental that got a pure ascension with the domain of life

[languid badge]

"pure" ascension?

[pulsar ocean]

Who is statis and what is his curse and why does he have a void slash

[eager bluff]

a pure ascension is one in which the god that ascends ends up with the same domain as the auric soul they consumed

[pliant ruin]

Legendary hero and the champion of slime god, he had a boyfriend (braelor) who was also a legendary hero and the champion of Silva, goddess of life
Braelor and Statis fought Yharim to a standstill but unfortunately got dragged in the distortion by the devourer before they could land the final blow

statis got out through making a bargain with signus but (possibly unknown to him) braelor was left behind

both will b found as npcs in the mod

with braelor being able to be r escued from the distortion iirc and signus being a wandering npc
