imagine if a queen bee acsended. god of bees

#

gg

clear girder
#

Maybe there is something like dragon of helium or something

pliant ruin
#

i imagine silva since shes also a goddess

latent bolt
#

man we need an elemental tier list

pliant ruin
wheat fjord
#

dragon of water when he meets god of h20:

spare pier
#

Cheese

#

There's a flying rock moth Goddess

pliant ruin
#

in hindsight we probably dont need sapient bugs to get a cool looking bug god.

spare pier
#

I think we can get a person that just

#

Became a bug

pliant ruin
#

with that said i think sapient bugs are cool

#

i'm adding them to my cal fanfiction

spare pier
#

Sapient bugs to me are eh but that's more because

clear girder
#

I wonder why Yharim hasn't killed torch god

spare pier
#

Ants are already fucking terrifying

#

Like

#

Sapient bugs aren't interesting to me because, truth is

wheat fjord
#

it would be interesting if there was a bug god, killed the Dragon of the wild (living stuff that isnt plants n shi if that exists)

pliant ruin
#

we dont know wtf it is

spare pier
#

Either they are just humans with really weird customs

#

Or they are just ants that can talk

#

It's hard to make a cool sentient bug society because of how organized a lot of bugs already are

#

90% of the time you just end up with that bug society but they can talk now

pliant ruin
#

Sapient Centipedes that have are incredibly xenophobic because centipedes are scared of everything
also they're the most productive mfers alive because centipedes have like no chill and are constantly doing things

#

centipedes are so funny to me they're genuinely just scared of everything

#

you lightly blow at them and they start goijng AHHASHFASLGM,ASGA AHHAHHHAHAH AHH

spare pier
#

I mean, yeah but that kinda just goes into "human with weird customs"

#

It's a bit unfair to say that because, ok yeah

#

That's basically just every fictional society ever

#

But idk, I think a lot of bugs are just better off being not sapient

#

I unironically think every bug society is more interesting if they aren't as smart as humans

pliant ruin
#

I like buge

spare pier
#

Ants can wage war

#

Like

wheat fjord
#

i hope at some point we get some desert mini bosses to fill the food chain a lil. it feels like everything is food and the scourege is the only predator

spare pier
#

...Sandstorm?

#

Sand Sharks?

pliant ruin
#

i mean yeah desert scourge is an apex predator

clear girder
spare pier
#

Tomb Crawlers?

pliant ruin
#

i can name like

spare pier
#

The scorpions?

pliant ruin
#

actually basically all of the desert enemies give off more predator energy than prey

#

which i mean makes sense

wheat fjord
#

tru

pliant ruin
#

deserts are low on plant life

spare pier
#

The Desert is by far the most fleshed out biome in Vanilla

#

Which is part of why we're barely touching it in SSO

pliant ruin
#

nuh uh

#

glowing moss biome

#

so much unique content its such a fleshed out biome wow

spare pier
#

So true!

#

Tbf Glowing Moss isn't a biome

wheat fjord
#

it would be cool to have some non violent animals spawn underground too. only in the full of life areas tho like the jungle.

spare pier
#

It's just something you find every now and then and go

#

"Pretty"

pliant ruin
#

ya

spare pier
#

And that's perfectly reasonable

wheat fjord
#

understandable everythings a predator in the desert cus what else they gonna eat

pliant ruin
#

i think it could use a few critters tho...

#

little moss flies :3

latent bolt
#

moss piglets

spare pier
latent bolt
#

not to be confused with moss piggy

spare pier
#

The fact that they are more organized than OUR OWN SOCIETY speaks a lot

pliant ruin
#

surface desert could use a medium sized critter tpye thing imo...

#

not for cal specifically just in general tbh

clear girder
#

Antlion

pliant ruin
#

That's a enemy

#

i said critter

clear girder
#

Ah

spare pier
#

Idk Surface Desert has enough stuff

pliant ruin
#

i think it'd just be nice ambience

#

i generan l ithink

spare pier
#

Guaranteeing an oasis and that's it

pliant ruin
#

terraria could use more just

#

neutrla/passive mobs for ambience

#

we got some with the ocean in 1.4

#

but other than that yea

spare pier
#

Ocean is fucking done to me

#

Infact it's the one biome I think that should just

#

Have content removed from it

pliant ruin
#

Ocean is the wackiest biome in terraria

spare pier
#

In Cal I mean

pliant ruin
#

It dosen't know if it wants to be a minibiome or a full on biome

#

inh both terraria and cal tbh 😭

spare pier
#

In Terraria it's more well defined

#

Only having two proper enemies

pliant ruin
#

yeah its a bigger issue in cal but terrari isn't absent from it

#

like

#

the underground ocean they added....

spare pier
#

And a shit ton of critters

pliant ruin
#

which isnt actually a underground ocean

#

its just

#

a cave

#

with nothing on it

#

which

#

isnt even guaranteed to generate..

spare pier

Ok I need to sleep now

It's Cheese's fault

manic coral

pliant ruin

i'm just a girl

spare pier
#

Ok bye for realsies now

manic coral
#

they'd add a lot imo

#

critters are nice to have

#

even outside of cal biomes

sinful adder
#

Have any of you played or watched Hylics

#

It's pretty neat

#

It also has lore

#

And the lore is cool

pulsar ocean
#

why cant yharim install cheat sheet and beat xeroc

clear girder
#

Wait if each auric soul controls a part of the world doesn't that mean that if Yharim kerps killing more gods the world loses balance or smth?

sinful adder
#

no

#

the auric souls don't need to be there for the things to function

#

I mean, I think

mighty zenith
#

domains give gods the ability to control things related to it im pretty sure

#

theyre not parts of the world itself, thats what elementals are

humble fog
cosmic zenith
#

Human

#

And Slime God is deliberately restraining itself

#

So it's weaker than it should be

cloud ibex
#

I do wonder what Slime God’s actual theoretical peak is

#

I joke about Goozma being SG if they locked the fuck in but I wonder if they could ever actually get to that level

real silo
#

I doubt it

split mortar
#

Id see like
Plantera level?

#

At absolute max

real silo
#

thas kinda low

cloud ibex
#

The thing is like

split mortar
real silo
#

you're a pre hardmode boss

cosmic zenith
#

I could see Slime God reaching the top of Hardmode by exploiting the absorption powers of slimes

#

Perhaps higher

cloud ibex
#

I’m pretty sure it’s been mentioned that the thing differentiating Xeroc from other gods isn’t just that they got the soul of the most powerful dragon, they’ve also been training to get stronger ever since their ascension to a degree nobody else ever really did

cosmic zenith
#

It's definitely one of the most versatile Gods power-wise

real silo
#

Consider that slimer managed to move up from pre waffle to pre mech just by absorbing hallowee

cosmic zenith
#

Dude's on the grind

cloud ibex
#

So I think SG, though they got a very weak soul, are also actively holding themselves back and presumably also aren’t working to get stronger constantly

real silo
#

What if it absorbed astral too

#

And acid sea

cloud ibex
#

So I think in theory if they worked as hard as Xeroc did, even from their comparatively low starting point I think they could get pretty damn high in the grand scheme of things

real silo
#

it kinda just oopsie'd into becoming a hm boss

split mortar
#

Also like
Can slimegod even control astral slimes

dusk laurel
#

postPolter slimes exist

split mortar
#

Cause theyre already controlled by the astral

split mortar
real silo
#

imagine if it managed to tame a hallow paladin and reform its two evil paladins

dusk laurel
#

gunk zero

split mortar
#

But like
Could slimegod even control all 3 of them at okce

#

Once

real silo
#

well maybe not at first

#

But with training probably

dusk laurel
split mortar
dusk laurel
#

thats because he just made it

#

and it was stronger than him

split mortar
dusk laurel
#

still

#

unlike qs hes had time to get used to those

split mortar
dusk laurel
#

is this even a real thing

#

hallow being denser than the evils

split mortar
#

I think the prehardmode evils are less dense then the hardmode evils

dusk laurel
#

ah

quiet idol
#

I was always curious in lore
What exactly is the Sepulcher meant to be

cloud ibex
#

Construct of numerous corpses

quiet idol
#

Oh

cloud ibex
#

An irl sepulcher is a stone room or monument someone is buried inside so the name is pretty literal

#

Minus the stone part

robust osprey
#

I mean it's brim-stone

#

close enough

cloud ibex
#

True

real silo
#

stone bone in the danger zone

quiet idol
#

Kinda got confused because the bestiary says one thing about the one Calamitas summons but the Metastasis summon weapon to spawn a Sepulcher says another thing in the tooltip

pastel bay
#

Isn't the tool tip on metastasis a minor headache as it caused a lot of people to assume DoG would become sepulcher

quiet idol
#

Yeah it is

#

The tooltip is
"A contemplated possible future of the cosmic serpent,
A gruesome warning for those blinded by the hunger for power."

#

So always got confused about the Sepulcher

robust osprey
#

I never took it literally

split mortar
robust osprey
#

like ain't no way Scal is domesticating DoG

split mortar
#

Im pretty sure

robust osprey
#

yeah I always assumed DoG will end on a similar state

#

not literally become sepulcher

quiet idol
#

Oh

limpid saddle
#

I think Calamitas just made it to fuck with DoG

split mortar
limpid saddle
#

It'd be like if someone robbed a bunch of graves to perfectly recreate your skeleton & covered it in half-melted flesh & then put it up outside your door

robust osprey
limpid saddle
quiet idol
#

Makes sense ngl

mighty zenith
#

thats it rly

robust osprey
#

I will eat dog

pastel bay
#

Is calamitas more like Piccolo or more like Vegeta

#

I'm leaning more towards vegeta

split mortar
#

Personality?

pastel bay
#

Nah like, character arc

split mortar
#

Oh ok

pastel bay
#

Like how she goes from enemy to ally

split mortar
#

I have limited knowledge on dragonball so i dont really have much to say on this topic

cloud ibex
#

cei could answer this

#

maybe reb too iunno if she's a dragon baller or not

limpid saddle
#

She doesnt really directly oppose the protaganist on a long enough basis for a character transformation like theirs

robust osprey
#

piccolo became good after a higher menace than him came to eart (raditz), so goku an piccolo became allies

limpid saddle
#

& she was always at least somewhat morally opposed to her villanous acts

robust osprey
#

and then picclo trained gohan for an even higher menace

#

vegetta is almost the same but with frieza

limpid saddle
#

Is Permafrost Piccolo-coded

robust osprey
pulsar ocean
#

Can torch god beat xeroc

pastel bay
#

Depends on whether or not xeroc gets a healthbar

cosmic zenith
mighty zenith
#

if anything she's more like dbs broly

late veldt
#

she goes from panic attack to tenant

cloud ibex
pastel bay
mighty zenith
cloud ibex
#

of course

mighty zenith
#

z broly works the nightshift

mighty zenith
#

even paragus kinda looks like permafrost
hes just much more of a nutjob

ruby heart
#

mmyes the mammoth dragon (frost dragon) in my mod (not real calamity content) is sort of that

tall delta
#

bloody mammoth

#

ok, interesting question. We know Yharim was almost forced into being a god, and when he refused, he was sent to be executed. the question I pose is: how many of the other gods were forced into Yharim's situation? And how many fell to the pressure that Yharim was put under? I don't think its unreasonable to assume that Yharim wasn't the only one, and I don't think killing a dragon automatically makes you consume their Auric soul, if the Terrarian killing Yharon is any sort of indication, but I could be wrong on that.

cloud ibex
#

You aren’t wrong

#

You need to do a very specific ritual to be able to absorb an auric soul

robust osprey
#

ritual that not many people know

magic epoch
#

if you eat an auric soul (not absorb) you become a dragonborn

#

Or something

pastel bay
#

I pictured Yharim as Frieza and now I can only hear the lore whispers in Friezas voice. help.

robust osprey
#

oh no

#

lihzahrd = monkey!

real silo
#

Who's the krillin that yharim will blow up

robust osprey
#

random god probably

random mulch
#

what is the most useless lore fact

What happened to Yharims parents

#

We dunno for sure

Likely killed by yharim

clear girder
#

why tho

#

did they worship gods or smth?

young socket
young socket
#

no

split mortar
#

Hence why i think they would have been killed by yharminarm

clear girder
#

now i'm starting to wonder about cals parents

#

Did they die when Azafure got destroyed

#

or some other cause?

split mortar
#

She straight up lived with only her brothers before azafure went kaboom iirc

#

If they were still alive they likely died to azafure burning

clear girder
#

how did her brothers survive when Azafure went kaboom

split mortar
#

They didnt

clear girder
#

Cataclysm and catastrophe aren't his brothers?

split mortar
#

They are her brothers

#

Just

#

Revived by necromancy

#

Cause they died

clear girder
#

ah

robust osprey
#

yeah theyre pretty much zombies

#

that only think about protecting lil sis

Ah yes, the very alive man without legs who has a skull that is on fire

Very typical of a living human

jst a quick qstn in the lore items that bosses drops (press left shift) who is the one speaking there? who is the I

dusk laurel
#

Yharim

limpid saddle

He's brain-blasting his thoughts about the thing you just murdered into your brain

fading fiber
#

hmm who is he? a god?

random mulch

aka the will-eventually-be-the-final-boss-in-a-couple-years

limpid saddle
#

the last auric dragon

limpid saddle
pastel bay
#

Us

limpid saddle
#

The Terrarian

fading fiber
#

draedon or yharim or us

random mulch
#

the player is the protagonist but who the player actually is is up to you

pastel bay
#

Terraria is a self insert game

fading fiber
#

who do we side with yharim or dradon?

limpid saddle
random mulch
#

neither

limpid saddle
#

& we're not really meant to side with either

pastel bay
#

Spoilers ahead I suppose

random mulch
#

yharim is planned to be the final boss (though he hasnt been added yet)

limpid saddle
#

Given Draedon, you know, sure he helps us out but he only cares about science

#

& we're gonna murder Yharim

fading fiber
#

yea idc i jst wanna know about story

fading fiber
pastel bay
#

We're fascinating enough for him to trust us with research

#

Yeah

limpid saddle
random mulch
#

and the regular mechs, and astrum aureus, and the plaguebringer goliath

limpid saddle
#

Aka

#

Us

fading fiber
#

whihc is us?

#

oh

split mortar
#

The terrarian is basically
Your OC

fading fiber
#

whore the crusades

pastel bay
#

He really gave us the power to make the exo weapons because he wanted to see what we would do

limpid saddle
split mortar
pastel bay
#

And we went on to piss him off by naming the resulting material "miracle matter" upon being the first being to ever create it

limpid saddle
#

It lasted 100 years & Yharim's army killed like 300 million people

#

& a few thousand Gods

pastel bay
#

Low end estimates

fading fiber
#

do we fight any gods or is it just creations of draedon,yharim etc

pastel bay
#

Hey do we count killing souls as a second death or just a kill confirm

limpid saddle
split mortar
limpid saddle
#

Those are gods & we murder them

random mulch
limpid saddle
#

killed implies direct murder

split mortar
limpid saddle
#

Ravager is the failed ressurected corpse of The God Of Sacrifices just so you know

fading fiber
#

wb the vanilla bosses ml, df, eol ... do they have a role here

pastel bay
#

Yes very much so

pastel bay
#

Moon lord is a can of worms

no i meant the god of sacrifes

limpid saddle
#

from the calamity mod

limpid saddle
#

Yharim murdered him

pastel bay
#

Duke is a descendant of the auric dragons of old, but no auric soul or the sort

limpid saddle
#

& then he got ressurected

fading fiber
#

by?

pastel bay
#

"Ok-ish" I mean. Depends on what you were sacrificing I guess

limpid saddle
#

Of his religion

pastel bay
#

They got sacrificed

#

To him

limpid saddle
#

who sacrificed themselves

dusk laurel
#

his followers basically

#

idk about a religion

pastel bay
#

Was revived to try to kill Yharim.

Didn't work.

fading fiber
#

is yharim still alive

limpid saddle
#

But because like 23 dudes dont make an omelete (auric soul) it went bad & now we have the flesh obelisk

dusk laurel
#

yes

limpid saddle

20 something girl who got brimstone magic at age 10, accidentally destroyed Azafure (Brimstone Crags) while fighting Brimstone Elemental, got kidnapped & enlisted into Yharim's army, did a WHOOOOLE bunch of war-crimes, got depressed, left the army, & fights us because she thinks we're gonna be Yharim 2.0

fading fiber
#

also whats up with the abyss like isnt primordial wyrm also the last bos? (curently

pastel bay
#

I dunno during my first ever run of infernum the listing for the giant clam was changed to read "Supreme Clamitas"

random mulch
#

primordial wyrm is more like a deterrent than an actual boss

pastel bay
#

It guards a thing very poorly

fading fiber
#

oh also is yharim also talking to us when use the boss rush thing

pastel bay
#

No

#

That's Xeroc

limpid saddle
#

Thats Xeroc

fading fiber
#

huh

limpid saddle
#

That 'Traitor Almighty'

#

That God Of Primordial Light

Currently the strongest thing we know of in the game technically

ooh

stronger than yharim?

#

Guy who ate Zeratro's Auric Soul, Zeratros was the Dragon King

he doesn't count he's not there yet

also is the nameless dude related to all this or jst seperate?

limpid saddle
fading fiber
#

#

oh

random mulch
#

wrath of the gods is not canon

limpid saddle
#

Nameless Diety is an old-lore interpretation of Xeroc

covert blaze

WotG is an add-on

random mulch
#

no calamity addon is

covert blaze
#

a very cool one but not canon

pastel bay
#

Well.
The music is.

fading fiber
#

any other refernce or stuff of xeroc in the game?

#

base

pastel bay
#

The xerock

limpid saddle
#

Uhhh

#

pssh

random mulch
#

the rock is a rock from the dragon's aerie that xeroc just kinda has

limpid saddle
#

a couple lore items Yharim talks about him

pastel bay
#

Thats about it I think. Outside of lore items at game stage shifts

random mulch
#

explains a little bit of xeroc's motivation

fading fiber
#

motivation?

limpid saddle
#

Any other queries?

limpid saddle
#

Character motivation

fading fiber
#

what he do

limpid saddle
random mulch
#

absorb the soul of the king of the dragons to become the first god

pastel bay
#

There's a lot we don't know, because a lot is biased.
Yharim is potentially (probably) unreliable about some things
Draedon is more trustworthy since he doesn't need to lie, he's his own party, but also dismissive of us for not being as smart

limpid saddle
fading fiber
#

whos the king of the dragons also are there dragons in this game

dusk laurel
#

yharon...

pastel bay
#

There's one

limpid saddle
#

hes the last dragon

dusk laurel
#

and the fishrons

limpid saddle
#

you know

pastel bay
#

And the folly

limpid saddle
#

Dragon of Rebirth

random mulch
#

fishrons arent really dragons

dusk laurel
#

and the follies

#

dragon offshoots are still dragons

limpid saddle
pastel bay
#

They're related enough to make Yharim nerd out

limpid saddle
random mulch
#

i meant like yharon

#

auric dragons

dusk laurel
#

ah

#

then yeah

pastel bay
#

Silvia is alive technically right

dusk laurel
#

yharon is alone

random mulch
#

barely but yeah

limpid saddle
#

@fading fiber so you know, all the Auric Dragons are dead because people wanted to be Gods & the only way to do that was eat an Auric Dragon's soul

pastel bay
#

Right, now I can laugh at Yharims attempt to dispose of her

limpid saddle
limpid saddle
pastel bay
#

What kind of a dumbass puts a plant in an area with more than enough water to sustain itself

limpid saddle
#

We arent a God when we kill him

fading fiber
#

we can eat his soul to become god?

#

oh

pastel bay
#

I know why shush let me mock him

limpid saddle
#

His soul runs away to the aerie

#

& we'd need to a ritual we dont know on his egg

#

& the only person that could teach us that ritual

pastel bay
#

Which we don't have

limpid saddle
fading fiber
#

whos dat

limpid saddle
fading fiber
#

oh

#

is yharim a god

limpid saddle
#

Because he hates Gods, & Yharon's his best friend

pastel bay
#

Well
Xeroc. But he's not cooperating right now

limpid saddle
#

a very strong dude

fading fiber
#

like us?

split mortar
pastel bay
#

Yharim is the God slayer

limpid saddle
pastel bay
#

Like doom slayer instead of doom it's god

limpid saddle
#

He's also like 8ft

fading fiber
#

hes stronger than draedon?

limpid saddle
pastel bay
#

Physically yes draedon is likely frail

limpid saddle
#

Draedon doesnt really fight his machines do

#

He's just a smart robot

pastel bay
#

In terms of intellect draedon is leagues above anyone mortal

fading fiber
#

whats draedons motive? jst science and curiosity? also why did he make the machines

pastel bay
#

With zero morals

#

Yeah

#

He does shit just to do shit

limpid saddle
split mortar
fading fiber
#

if he is an an robot who made him?

limpid saddle
#

& because he joined The Crusades early, he spent like 100 years helping Yharim build weapons, so he keeps building weapons

split mortar
limpid saddle
#

Because he wants to make The Best Weapon™️

dusk laurel
#

no

limpid saddle
dusk laurel
#

he wants to advance science to its limit

#

weapons are mainly for protection or services

limpid saddle
dusk laurel
#

he already made that weapon

limpid saddle
#

Basically all of his break throughs have been dedicated to making something that can kill good

fading fiber
dusk laurel
#

no

yharim kicked him out

yharim got kinda pissed at draedon and now they dont really talk

Yharim kicked draedon out cause of the nuclear bees

#

lmao dradons a robot right do he got feelings?

Because Draedon made the Plague & Plaguebringer Goliath

Running a calamity dnd game set during yharims Crusade, as he's falling from grace, starting next week.

Any advice regarding how to characterize yharim? The players are starting on his side, as peasants or soldiers. I was thinking some mix between azure and 9 from the show lego monkie kid personality wise, but I'm looking for ideas.

sleek halo
#

generally

#

emotional and extravagant

#

he’s very charismatic

livid bobcat
#

I get the idea that he would have some kind of a charismatic facade that drops when things get personal

sleek halo
#

yeah

#

he quite literally decides to kill

#

his oldest ally

#

brcause they left

#

(More eof the emotional aspect)

livid bobcat
#

Classic vaderian leadership

manic coral
#

Yharim is good at spinning thing sin ways to make him look, even if not favorable, better than the opposition

snow mountain
#

he has the rizz as the kids say

sleek halo
#

(I imagine he was absolutely fucking furious at Permafrost’s “betrayal”)

livid bobcat
#

Kinda like sentinel prime from transformers one

manic coral
sleek halo
#

(and him sending cal to kill him was done out of a moment of rage, not rational thought)

sleek halo
split mortar
#

Yharim on his way to cause a war that directly kills 300 million

sleek halo
#

bring himself to personally

#

kill Permafrost

manic coral
#

something else to note about Yharim is him thinking he's the good guy isn't just

#

talk

#

he does treat those unde rhim and who are loyal pretty god damn well

split mortar
#

Yeah

#

Win either moral battle or economic one
He payed his soldiers pretty well iirc

sleek halo
#

idk how much truth it holds

manic coral
#

I mean, imagine for a sec you're a solider in an opposing army

#

You get fed basic rations

#

You stand out in the ehat and cold constantly

#

You slepe on the ground or shitty bunks half of the time

livid bobcat
#

One idea I kinda had for him is going at his angle of the "natural world"

#

Given how he saw the dragons comparatively to what came after

manic coral
#

and you KNOW that Yharim's forces have tools and wepaonry WAY beyond what you have

cloud ibex
#

i always saw it as pretty silly when villains treat their underlings badly

manic coral
#

one of HIS footsoldiers are worth five of you combat wise

cloud ibex
#

like my brother in christ you do want these people to stay loyal, right

sleek halo
#

not to mention, Yharim is personally leading that army

manic coral
#

yeah

sleek halo
#

you’re going against literally the best general

#

of the modern age

manic coral
#

he gaine da lot of respect from that

sleek halo
manic coral
#

he's not a politician who stays in some safe city far off while the army does all the dirty work

#

he personally comes and fights, too

sleek halo
#

he kinda seems like

#

jn his early days

manic coral
#

that not only horrifies his opponents

sleek halo
#

he’d be like napoleon

manic coral
#

but gains the respect of many

cloud ibex
#

a hundred slaves fighting under their master's whip will never fight as hard as a free man fighting for someone he trusts

manic coral
#

MANY people before the Crusade came just

#

straight-up defected

#

to join in

#

from a purely persoanl perspective

livid bobcat
manic coral
#

it was the objectively correct option for what amde you mostly likely to survive

manic coral
#

anywyas gotta go to the store

livid bobcat
limpid saddle
#

& I mean like

#

maybe nature?

livid bobcat
#

Guy cares about some things

#

When it suits him

limpid saddle
#

but definetly animals he loves bees too much for him to hate them

limpid saddle
#

He has overbearing morals that guide his actions

livid bobcat
limpid saddle
#

he isnt some conniving sinister guy

cloud ibex
#

iunno if he really turned a blind eye to it

livid bobcat
#

Right

limpid saddle
#

& that was completely without Yharim's knowledge

cloud ibex
#

like the two Really Bad things draedon did i can think of are clone and pbg

limpid saddle
#

& the soldiers that became the Mechs consented to it

split mortar
livid bobcat
#

I mean yharim must have known there was some price to progress

limpid saddle
cloud ibex
#

we all know how him finding out about pbg went but i believe he mentions that he literally never knew about clone and condemns draedon for it afterwards

livid bobcat
#

I mean yharim sees himself as a fall from grace

#

I imagine he abides by some virtues and guidelines

limpid saddle
#

He didnt know real Calamitas was gonna come break her out & that contact with Calamitas Prime would spark Brimstone Magic & hit Calamitas Clone with the most trauma ever

dusk laurel
#

calamitas prime 💔

he's racist towards lihzarhds

livid bobcat
young socket
limpid saddle
young socket
#

not slaves

sleek halo
#

so much

limpid saddle
#

He stopped ruling his kingdom & Permafrost wasnt there to do it for him

sleek halo
#

Slavery, the dragons being uh fucking murdered, and pbg

limpid saddle
livid bobcat
#

Arguably what he did with polterghast had to either be insane neglect, or prisoner slavery

limpid saddle
#

Supply lines collapsed, splinter-cells of the army rose up, & then he just fucking left

deft vessel
#

Now… what is Permas favourite ice cream flavour

limpid saddle
manic coral
#

He doesn't like ice cream

young socket
#

vanilla

limpid saddle
manic coral

He's already cold all the time

deft vessel

So cold foods aren't his thing

so he likes soups?

dusk laurel
limpid saddle
#

He could direct his men very well

dusk laurel
#

his empire feels more like a confederation of loosely aligned cities to me

limpid saddle
#

& I imagine he at minimum oversaw Permafrost's wider administrations

dusk laurel
#

yeah

manic coral
spare pier
#

Horrible

split mortar
#

Introduce them to pizza with uranium in it and tell them the surprise afterwards
-# this is a joke for the unaware

#

But yeah Yharim is morally against slaves

#

Genocide is chill though

limpid saddle

#

Are there any extensive lore videos about Calamity that cover everything?

plush stone
#

unforfrtuante

limpid saddle
#

All existing lore videos are usually outdated

#

& I dont think there are any that actually comprehensively cover new lore

foggy fern
#

Well it's honestly unreasonable to expect someone to make a video on that right now since 90% of the lore isn't even in the game

limpid saddle
#

Mostly because nearly all of it is hidden away in dev statements in this very discord

foggy fern
#

Yeah and having to fish out random messages from devs is not a good way to find lore

#

Not to mention what little lore is in the game isn't even relevant cause it's all outdated

#

There's not gonna be a video on the lore until it's implemented better

young socket
foggy fern
#

no it's very much outdated like the npc dialogue and stuff

limpid saddle
#

I mean not all of it

#

But alot kinda is yeah

foggy fern
#

having to differentiate what's actual lore and what isn't anymore is also an unreasonable ask

limpid saddle
# plush stone ah okay

Dont worry just give it 'till 2046 we'll have SSO part 2 & a comprehensive lore video by then

young socket
plush stone
limpid saddle
limpid saddle
young socket
#

i know about that

#

that doesnt change the fact that some of the current npc dialogue still has useful information

pliant ruin
#

some of it yeah but some of it is still contradictory or outdated

#

like calamitas resenting permafrost

young socket
pliant ruin
#

or permafrost's personality being the stereotypical grumpy antisocial wizard when actual permafrost is just a silly old man

young socket
#

he isnt grumpy in a lot of his lines

reef wigeon
#

If Yharim's propaganda is called Yhapaganda, what do you call Draedon's ego with, for example, the Exo mechs?

dusk laurel
#

because they haven't been implemented yet

pliant ruin
#

Reading at cal's npc dialogue yeah she's not as out of character as i remember

dusk laurel
#

or are just ideas

pliant ruin
#

some lines still strike as odd though

reef wigeon
#

Yes, I came back after some time away.

pliant ruin
#

"Many seasons have gone by since I first met with the Tyrant, and only now did I break free. I wish I'd been stronger..."

#

this one obviously

#

and uhh

#

"These undead are horrific, I can't stand to look at them. How could anyone be satisfied with such amateur work?"

young socket
pliant ruin
#

idk if cal would exactly be proud of that...

foggy fern
#

she has employed a coping mechanism super hard

young socket
reef wigeon
pliant ruin
#

Permafrost's dialogue is definitely too... antisofcial though

#

maybe not grumpy

#

but he isn't a jolly whimsical fellow like his new iteration seems to be

#

Current perma npc dialogue dosen't have much of a personality , i think

#

it's kinda just

#

hello i am a wizard and i do ice spells

young socket
#

sure he doesnt speak much about other npcs but i wouldnt call that antisocial

pliant ruin
#

when you compare it with his new dialogue yeah hes def nowhere near as sociable

limpid saddle
pliant ruin
#

most of his lines can be described as
-hes a wizard
-he has ice magic

#

he dosen't have much of personality is what i mean

limpid saddle
#

Shes like one of 2 known necromancers

#

& it'd make sense she'd take pride in keeping her brothers pristine in a way

languid badge
#

2?

limpid saddle
# languid badge 2?

The other being the collective that necromance'd the God Of Sacrifices into Ravager

dusk laurel
#

okay so

#

that wouldnt add up to 2

I said 'known' not alive

#

Hey so, Noxus, wants powerful essence or whatever, probably powering itself up at the same time right.
Regardless of why or how, striking down powerful beings is what it's doing

#

Would the terrarian not be nearing the top of the list

dusk laurel
#

we're just a strong guy

#

it wants god essence to be specific

#

which unless you headcanon it in will not be something that we have

limpid saddle
#

Headcanon, my most loath-ed enemy

#

But yeah Noxus only seeks God Essence

Our soul is just a normal soul, no crazy juiced up shit to it

No dragon stabbing happened

Hey on the topic the universe just shat us out didn't it.
Like not even in calamity but just terraria in general the universe just decided "behold" and we were there

limpid saddle
#

someone send the chud gif

dusk laurel
#

never say that again

spare pier
#

Though by this point it's like

limpid saddle

#

Calamari isn't really a Goddess as much as just "she has an Auric Soul"

pastel bay

"Not enough chaos create the idiots."

wait till you hear about one of her other ocs

It's why she blurs the line so much

uhhh

pastel bay

I dig the idea that the one that strikes down Yharim has an aueic soul, or at least part of one

dusk laurel
#

both sure

limpid saddle
#

Ill just draw her & punch the shit out of the image

dusk laurel

nuh uh uh

& then eat the paper

i need to jump off a building aftet eating a drawing of calamari

spare pier
#

See, she is the Goddess of Evolution

#

So her body is constantly trying to evolve when presented with any phenomena

limpid saddle
spare pier
#

One such phenomena is, well

#

Auric Rejection

#

And she gets rejected a lot

#

So her body keeps trying to find a way of solving that

#

And after enough rejections, it comes up with something

dusk laurel
#

fearful

spare pier
#

It turns her entire soul Auric

#

So she becomes immune to Auric Rejection

Itd be a long af fight but well

Ebonia cant die
So despite their 202 metre large form as their current strongest state being only deus level
Providemce can only flee from the immortal shadow

dusk laurel
#

awesome

spare pier
#

Having an Auric Soul also allows her to attune the Ark of the Cosmos to the Aerie

#

Which gives her the funniest sword ever

dusk laurel
#

the aerie is pretty funny

limpid saddle
#

its taking everything in me not to say something really stupid & mean & get banned why can i just not be an asshole

split mortar
pastel bay
#

Making OCs out of terraria is like half the fun

limpid saddle
#

calamari fills me with such a petulant childish hatred & i know not where forth it comes hdflr

pastel bay
#

You know what you do

#

Funnel that anger into your own character let spite drive you

spare pier
#

One thing I ended up changing my mind on was Calamari killing Xeroc because the more I thought about it

#

The more I realized it was pretty eh

limpid saddle
spare pier
#

It's perfectly reasonable for her arc to end without that, infact I prefer my new version a lot more

pastel bay
#

Where's the fun in a god-level oc if they don't do God level things

split mortar
#

Slime god is a god

#

So like

#

God level is pre hardmode

pastel bay
#

Nuh uh it dies in hardmode

spare pier
#

Calamari literally rips a hole in the Distortion while fighting DoG to finish the fight in Terraria

dusk laurel
#

bro got kidnapped

pastel bay
#

Fffffffuck I was midway through story boarding a fight with dog where it ends like that

spare pier
#

You think I don't make cool fucking shit with her?

limpid saddle
#

My only idea is to integrate my Summoner main-ness into a man deeply fascinated with the occult & dark arts & believes summoning to be completely tied to necromancy, & that all forms of more aggressive magic have inherent counterparts

pastel bay
#

Not as the terrarian doing it, but rather parrying DoG to force it to open a rip

limpid saddle
spare pier
#

Calamari does it because she uses Ark the entire journey, that's the point where her sword starts dabbling into stuff like the Big Rip

#

It's when she becomes strong enough to distort space with an attack

pastel bay
#

I mean what else do you parry with

limpid saddle
#

& when he finally reaches Calamitas he spends every waking moment harassing her to teach him more

pastel bay
#

Synchronized to that one drop after the calm part of the nonstop mix

spare pier
#

ANOTHER thing I like is that

#

Ok

#

Seraph Tracers

#

They can run on land

#

On water

#

And if you stretch it a little bit

Plasma is a state of matter

dusk laurel
#

ruh roh

split mortar
#

Runs on scals flames

spare pier
#

And the Exo Mechs use it a lot

#

So one thing I think is cool as shit is Calamari walking on Ares' Exo Overload Beam

pastel bay
#

Like goku surfing the beam during tournament of power?

spare pier
#

Yeah, running ON the beam

#

Not inside it

#

Hell yeah

#

you will be missed

pastel bay
#

I should get off my ass and finish making my terrarian

spare pier
#

The one thing I actively ignore tho, it's that the Aerie does get fucking nuked during Calamari's fight with Yharim

#

Because I just think that's cooler

split mortar
spare pier
#

Yeah, that's part of why

#

Her whole thing is that she is so fixated on changing things that she's dead set on killing Xeroc

#

She wants change to a harmful degree

spring helm
#

Well she is the Goddess of Evolution

#

That makes sense

#

Who the fuck is calamari I thought you were all just being funny and talking about Calamitas

If it's a character from the mod... What were you thinking, writers?

I just said

#

It's my OC

I love it!

#

I think I'll make my own. I was thinking of a Draedon apprentice or something.

rocky crown
#

Y'all think draedon can beat DoG?

#

:3

dusk laurel
#

Very easily

#

just mass produce the exo twins and dog is finished

robust osprey
#

if it's draedon alone very likely no, unless it has a battle body (I highly doubt it)

#

but just mass produce exos and easy win

dog would be proud of himself anyways

#

You can't say you've killed draedon unless all his bodies and presumably servers are destroyed

sleek halo
#

you need all 4 exo mechs for them to be equal to Scal

#

realistically DoG could handle 2-3

late veldt
#

I mean Yharon could fuck up DoG and he's like. 2 exo mechs

sleek halo
#

DoG could also fuck up Yharon

#

it’s not a one sided fight

sinful adder
#

I think DoG could maybe handle one exo mech

sleek halo
#

they’re pretty damn close in strength

#

same with Yharon & Scal

#

I would say Yharon could confidently handle 3

sinful adder
#

Yharon sure feels a lot stronger than DoG with the same equipment

#

Yeah I think Yharon could handle 3 of 4 exo mechs

#

Barely

sleek halo
#

I think DoG could handle 2-3

#

like at full speed

#

with armor on

#

he probably shatters 3-4 of them lol

sinful adder
#

I think DoG could handle Artemis and Apollo just barely but not either of the other two

sleek halo
#

thanatos is the only one

cold chasm
#

who was draedon in old lore

sleek halo
#

he could not reasonably break

#

with 1 ram

#

the other 3 should realistically be severely damaged if not completely fucked

#

by DoG ramming into them

robust osprey
#

idk for sure tho

late veldt
#

I remember it was Yharim who seeked him out

robust osprey
#

yeah I think so

#

idk I consider myself a newgen I know jack shit about old lore

late veldt
#

iirc he was just still a reclusive inventor but he was even more reclusive, was on a different planet, and was sought out by Yharim rather than the other way around

cosmic zenith
#

Yeah

#

Yharim had DoG search the cosmos for an engineer

#

He found Draedon in a planet populated entirely by robots

spare pier
#

It wasn't really populated
