She's in the eyeball. That's what they're going with.

crisp umbra
#

by dad

#

you mean

pliant ruin
#

She literally calls him dad

crisp umbra
#

adopted

pliant ruin
#

It's just an adoptive one

wanton pendant
#

She's adopted.

pliant ruin
#

Yeah

crisp umbra
#

just wanted to make sure

wanton pendant
#

And is an adopted dad any less real?

crisp umbra
#

no

wanton pendant
#

He's the dad who stepped up.

long bloom
#

was not aware that was in the game

wanton pendant
#

Not yet.

#

Next update trust.

pliant ruin
long bloom
wanton pendant
#

Not cope.

pliant ruin
#

Cei has shown dialogue here before

crisp umbra
#

and when is next update gonna be?

pliant ruin
#

It's not ingame yet but will be

pliant ruin
long bloom
pliant ruin
#

one day even

#

sometime perhaps

wanton pendant
#

But in reality, the clone is identical to Calamitas, but she probably is missing her scar.

#

Late this year at the earliest.

crisp umbra
wanton pendant
#

Or next year.

long bloom
#

sso november/december guys

pliant ruin
#

There are no release dates but given it's the biggest update calamity has ever had it'll probably still take a bit
Progress has been steady though so its possible it'll come out this year or next one

crisp umbra
#

and what will we see in the update

#

?

long bloom
#

sunken sea overhaul

wanton pendant
#

Sunken Sea Overhaul.

#

And other stuff.

long bloom
#

🐌

pliant ruin
wanton pendant
#

Thanks, Fabsol.

crisp umbra
#

pliant ruin
#

desert scourge

wanton pendant
#

Yeah, Giant Clam.

crisp umbra
#

yess

long bloom
#

and cnidrion

wanton pendant
#

Cnidrion is back!

#

With a vengeance!

crisp umbra
#

who is that? is it posible for him to be the final boss of terraria that got deleted?

wanton pendant
#

Cnidrion? It's a seahorse.

crisp umbra
#

oh

pliant ruin
#

its the biggest update calamity has ever seen and it will completely rework the sunken sea alongside several new items, worldgen and creatures, add proper questlines and implement the mod's story, rework several other items, and completely rework Desert Scourge, Giant Clam and Cnidrion's fights

wanton pendant
#

They rode them into battle back in the day....

#

If it's about cat girls...

crisp umbra
#

so

#

my actual world

#

will change?

pliant ruin
#

no

wanton pendant
#

No.

#

Not how it works.

#

You'll have to make a new one.

pliant ruin
#

if your world was made before worldgen changes it'll stay that way

crisp umbra
#

😭

wanton pendant
#

That's why Hardmode exists, so that new features could be added to old worlds back in the day.

crisp umbra
#

will you start again

wanton pendant
#

Yes.

crisp umbra
#

everything again

#

??

wanton pendant
#

Yes.

crisp umbra
#

i mean itds just so difficult

pliant ruin
#

If you want to experience the new worldgen yeah you have to make a new world

long bloom
#

new world

wanton pendant
#

I'm not afraid.

icy veldt
#

It's honestly ridiculous that Cnidrion is a spelling for something in English. How is it even pronounced? Is the C silent??? If so, then that's just terrible! Volo omnes loqui Latine (I wish everyone spoke Latin)

crisp umbra
#

i dont even know how i completed it

pliant ruin
#

It's just how the game works man

crisp umbra
#

yeah i know

pliant ruin
#

Cnidrion is so weird because like

long bloom
#

nid ree on

pliant ruin
#

Why is it called Cnidrion

icy veldt
#

That's awful

#

Wtf, English

wanton pendant
#

Nid? That's awful.

pliant ruin
#

Cnidrion comes from Cnidarian

young socket
#

it has nothing to do with like

pliant ruin
#

What about this thing is rmeotelly Jellyfish

young socket
#

the jellyfish family

#

since thats wat cnidarian means iirc

wanton pendant
#

I blame the French, frankly.

#

Why is the sea horse named after jelly fish.

#

Who's idea was this?

icy veldt
#

Σnidrion

long bloom
wanton pendant
#

What next, we name a destructive person after a word for destruction?

wanton pendant
young socket
pliant ruin
#

pfft, whats next

icy veldt
#

I think it'd be better to spell it Knidrion, since that has precedent with the word "knight"

jaunty wraith
#

She does know a thing or two about scorching jellyfish

pliant ruin
#

naming a ice wizard after ICE???

wanton pendant
#

Surely they wouldn't do it two more times?

young socket
#

next we are gonna find out the ice guy has an ice pun in their name

icy veldt
#

English is just a poorly-spelled/pronounced language

young socket
young socket
#

same brain cell

wanton pendant
crisp umbra
#

what are the origins of auric ore?

#

or it just spawned

icy veldt
#

What's next, naming the water elemental after a goddess of ocean in an IRL religion?

wanton pendant
icy veldt
wanton pendant
#

We don't do romance.

#

We can do Manx, if you prefer?

icy veldt
#

Latin is an Italic language, part of the Italo-Celtic languages, part of the Indo-European languages. The Romance languages came from Vulgar Latin (sermo vulgaris "how those vulgar plebeians speak"), but Latin itself is not a Romance language

I'm not anchored in any of your commoner dimensions, peasant. Go exist in only 3 planes.

I should make that an rp character....

wanton pendant
#

ICE-E? I think I like that name...

crisp umbra

why cant i summon him

wanton pendant
#

Wrong channel.

#

And did you use the item that prevents it from spawning?

crisp umbra
#

maybe

#

how do i quit it

#

to which channel do i go

wanton pendant

In addon talk.

thx

vast cosmos
#

theres a lot of lore I don't understand yet but what the hell is Calamitas' deal

#

what does she want

wanton pendant
#

She was turned into a child soldier.

#

She wants Yharim to not happen again.

vast cosmos
wanton pendant
#

When she was around 13 her city was burnt to the ground.

#

She also got super powers.

wanton pendant
#

She went to Yharim, or was brought to him, not made clear.

#

And Permafrost adopted her.

vast cosmos
#

Yharim is a bad guy?

wanton pendant
#

Yes.

vast cosmos
#

Huh

wanton pendant
#

He's literally the villain.

#

Main antagonist.

vast cosmos
#

I've only heard his name in passing to be fair

wanton pendant
#

Literally committed genocide.

#

He talks to you during the entire game.

long bloom
#

he's the one talking in every lore item

#

he's the one that killed billions of people

vast cosmos
wanton pendant
#

I know that.

long bloom
#

he is evil though

wanton pendant
#

But he literally groomed a child.

long bloom
#

see: killing billions of people

wanton pendant
#

I study media, I know the meaning of antagonist.

vast cosmos
#

But why

long bloom
#

why what

vast cosmos
#

does he have a motive

wanton pendant
#

Vengeance.

long bloom
#

to kill every god

vast cosmos
#

Or was he just bored

wanton pendant
#

And justice, as he claims.

#

He likes dragons.

#

Gods kill dragons.

#

He kills gods.

long bloom
#

and all those that worship

wanton pendant
#

He's racist.

#

Backstabbing.

#

Old.

long bloom
#

even though the majority of gods are good people, they still have to die in his eyes

wanton pendant
#

*were.

#

Do we know that for certain?

long bloom
#

true

vast cosmos
#

is there a correlation with yharim and yharon sounding kinda similar

wanton pendant
#

Yes.

#

Yharon is literally Yharim + Dragon.

vast cosmos
#

Oh

ivory vigil
wanton pendant
#

They aren't that creative with names.

long bloom
#

in new lore yharim named himself after yharon to show honor

wanton pendant
#

When was that mentioned?

vast cosmos
long bloom
wanton pendant
#

Technically, Calamity is like Calamitas, Calamitas is the older word.

ivory vigil
vast cosmos
wanton pendant
#

The old lore isn't canon.

icy veldt
wanton pendant
#

And nobody cares about it anymore.

long bloom
#

because it sucked bad

vast cosmos
#

Wowee

wanton pendant
#

Draedon was from space...

#

Yharim goes to space.

#

A lot of space stuff happens.

vast cosmos
#

how extensive is the lore

wanton pendant
#

Decently big.

long bloom
#

pretty extensive

vast cosmos
#

how long would it take me to figure it all out

wanton pendant
#

I'm working on it.

long bloom
#

read the pinned google doc

vast cosmos
wanton pendant
#

We know.

long bloom
#

vast cosmos
#

(i will probably read the doc later)

wanton pendant
#

How many times must people come here asking what things that clearly state what they do do?

#

'What does the world nuker do?'

icy veldt
#

I was just about to joke "What does the planet-explode-inator do?"

ivory vigil
#

Could the United States Military take out Yharim's forces?

icy veldt
#

One mind

vast cosmos
#

Wow

wanton pendant
#

Do we give Yharim Calamitas?

#

Do we give him himself?

long bloom
#

they can't survive a nuke

wanton pendant
#

Do we give him DoG?

long bloom
#

none of them can survive a nuke

icy veldt
#

Have you considered Exterminatus?

vast cosmos
wanton pendant
#

DoG can teleport.

#

DoG saved Yharim's life.

ivory vigil
#

I mean. It's still just dog and yharim then

wanton pendant
#

And yes, extensively, Yharim blames all his problems on him.

ivory vigil
#

If the US can 1 shot most of his forces it does look pretty bleak

wanton pendant
#

Yharim can, I don't know, parry the nuke.

#

Calamitas can fly away, I guess?

long bloom
#

the devs have stated multiple times that a nuke would wipe out every calamity character except xeroc

ivory vigil
long bloom
wanton pendant
#

Draedon's got nukes.

#

Why doesn't he just nuke the US? Is he stupid?

ivory vigil
wanton pendant
#

Why doesn't Calamitas just use the Rod of Discord? Is she stupid?

#

Are you really going to say he can't make a normal nuke?

gritty kraken
wanton pendant
ivory vigil
wanton pendant
ivory vigil
#

If he could he has no reason not to have done that

ivory vigil
wanton pendant
#

Nuke is too imprecise, too clumsy, of course he wouldn't rely on them.

#

His machines are art.

#

Not some toy.

vast cosmos
#

the lore document kinda implies that yharim is a good guy in the beginning so im kinda confused

ivory vigil
wanton pendant
#

He was comitting genocide.

gritty kraken
#

there is this one new slime they’re adding in acid rain update and it just have a little nuclear bomb inside it I think

wanton pendant
#

Why would he do that, and devastate the land he wishes to study?

wanton pendant
#

It was one time.

ivory vigil
#

He did ruin the land he was studying in the sulfurs sea

vast cosmos
wanton pendant
#

Yeah he wanted to study what happens when you nuke someone.

wanton pendant
#

Supreme Witch, Calamitas' bestiary entry states she served for nearly ten years. This is incorrect, she served for less.

ivory vigil
gritty kraken
wanton pendant
#

He probably knows a nuke would kill you.

#

So why bother? Nothing new to learn.

ivory vigil
#

AHAHA. We found a problem!

#

He wouldn't have meaningfully studied us if he had a weapon beyond us

#

However he sends his creations after us to study us

#

Him not using the nuke implies he knows our limits

wanton pendant
#

Do you think military engineering is the only reason he wishes to study?

ivory vigil
#

Him testing us implies he doesn't

vast cosmos
#

who are the onyx kinsmen

wanton pendant
#

His machines are made for war, not mindless destruction, they are precise as they are deadly.

wanton pendant
#

Except Statis.

#

Who is gay and lost some limbs making a deal.

icy veldt
nimble mantle
#

How to speak Providence

wanton pendant
vast cosmos
#

but who are they

gritty kraken
vast cosmos
#

*were

wanton pendant
#

They were ninjas or something who worshipped slime god.

#

Only one left, and he's looking for his boyfriend.

#

Will be in future update with a quest line.

#

Yes, they're adding woke.

ivory vigil
#

I thought the kinsman worshipped signus or am I still old lore brained?

wanton pendant
#

Signus stole the last one's limbs.

ivory vigil
#

Yoink

nimble mantle
wanton pendant
#

I don't know what that means.

#

If he asked for worship as part of the deal, it ain't going so well, since Statis wants him dead.

#

And also, is the only chap left.

ivory vigil
#

Isn't signus technically distortion satan

wanton pendant
#

No?

nimble mantle
wanton pendant
#

He's from there.

nimble mantle
wanton pendant
#

All in le head.

nimble mantle
#

Signus singer when

icy veldt
#

Related to Bingus?

nimble mantle
ivory vigil
#

Okay I may be too old lore brained

#

In the distortion hierarchy Signus is above Dog right or was that removed

wanton pendant
#

No.

ivory vigil
wanton pendant
#

Signus is just some guy.

long bloom
#

still correct

wanton pendant
#

DoG follows Noxus.

long bloom
icy veldt
#

Signus -> Ligmus

wanton pendant
#

What heirarchy?

young socket
long bloom
young socket
#

everything u asked was stuff only found in new lore

icy veldt
#

"It's so sad that the Onyx Kin died of Ligmus"
"Who the hell are the Onyx Kin?"
"Ligmus balls"

ivory vigil
young socket
#

yes

long bloom
#

basically

wanton pendant
#

He's not satan? Wouldn't that be more Noxus?

ivory vigil
#

I was being fucking gaslit by Water

young socket
wanton pendant
#

I know about faust!

real silo
#

Satan as in the guy who makes deals with people not as in the evil demon lord

wanton pendant
#

Look, I'm sorry I wasn't here when the devs gave the freaking class system of the Distortion breakdown presentation. I was busy that day.

ivory vigil
#

Ngl I'd worship Signus he seems chill

wanton pendant
#

Bad idea.

#

He'd probably steal your knees.

#

Jerk.

long bloom
wanton pendant
#

At that rate, it's highway robbery.

ivory vigil

I don't know that I don't know!

#

Become an Onyx Kinsman today. We have benefits

glacial rampart
wanton pendant
#

This is Calamity and Terraria lore discussion not the Council of Nicaea.

cosmic zenith
#

Signus is not above DoG

#

Just looking at progression should make that clear :/

#

Signus simply is a closer type of being to Noxus in relation to DoG, which doesn't make it stronger than DoG

wanton pendant
#

Yeah that's why I was so confused.

#

Because how the hell is the DEVOURER OF GODS below the tooth man.

pliant ruin
#

He's not stronger than DoG but he's an independent guy while DoG is subservient to Noxus
Don't think anyone said Signus was stronger than DoG

#

The usage of the word "hierarchy" is not really adequate tho

#

Seems to imply a strict ranking or somethinh which isnt really the case

dusk laurel
#

the correct way to say it is that signus just has more aura

wanton pendant
#

By the sounds of it, Signus is just a closer related creature.

#

Like, Noxus probably resembles Signus a lot more then it resembles DoG.

wanton pendant
#

It's an assumption based on him being a closer type of being.

#

Which would imply they are more similar.

wanton pendant
#

By that being what those words mean.

#

In short, Noxus probably isn't a giant worm.
(Unfortunate.)

long bloom
#

well duh

pliant ruin
#

I think its less so direct biological relation more so the roles they fill

long bloom
#

but noxus probably created dog

cosmic zenith
#

In appearance, Noxus is quite distinct from both

long bloom
#

hm

wanton pendant
#

Well, I would assume they wouldn't look the same.

cosmic zenith
#

Though he will share some familiarity with DoG to hint at their connection

wanton pendant
#

I wasn't thinking 'big Signus.' Write that down for an addon.

long bloom
#

#

What if Noxus really is big Signus? What then? What would this mean?

#

My question is is DoG actually loyal to Noxus or do they have a similar relationship that he has with Yharim, being that they work together but he's not truly loyal?

balmy glacier
wanton pendant
#

Like, if DoG could, would he betray Noxus?

balmy glacier
#

I dont think their dynamic is super complex

#

just a minion to foresee terraria

split mortar
balmy glacier
#

and if that were to happen dog has no stance against noxus

wanton pendant
#

I guess the better question is is DoG faithful, or only doing it because Noxus is certainly stronger.

#

Like, I feel DoG is portrayed as inherently duplicitous and narcissistic.

#

It's hard to believe that he is fully loyal and willing to obey Noxus, it's just he can't really oppose him.

#

Like Ganondorf in Subspace Emissary.

mighty zenith
#

i think that depends on if DoG has an ulterior motive to betray Noxus

wanton pendant
#

The motive could literally just be narcissism.

balmy glacier
wanton pendant
#

Well, in my opinion, I don't think DoG is truly loyal to anyone, but he can't really oppose his suzerains as they are both far more powerful then him.

#

And he likely benefits from the arrangement.

main mesa
#

I’m so out of touch with calamity lore I didn’t know there even was a connection between noxus and DoG lol

wanton pendant
#

Yharim feeds him gods, Noxus probably does something for him.

split mortar
wanton pendant
#

He only works for Yharim to further their plans.

main mesa
wanton pendant
#

Which likely also benefits Noxus.

wanton pendant
#

Yharim, who shouldn't know Noxus exists comments that DoG is probably loyal to something else.

wanton pendant
#

And he knows DoG is hiding things and lying.

wanton pendant
#

Unless they reveal Boxus, Noxus' long lost brother.

main mesa
split mortar
wanton pendant
# main mesa Why?

They're from the same dimension, most other characters who are stronger are either loyal to Yharim or have their own goals, unrelated to DoG's.

#

And Xeroc, who is a god.

#

So likely wouldn't be too fond of the Devourer of Gods.

#

So probably not him.

split mortar
#

Xeroc would likely kill dog

wanton pendant
#

For obvious reasons.

mighty zenith
#

we know its noxus because its the only logical choice of character leftover from old lore

main mesa
#

Ah

wanton pendant
#

Thus, very heavily implied, but Noxus isn't implemented at this point, so he's never named.

#

Like, there aren't any other choices.

#

Unless they made up one, which would be a bizarre choice.

gritty kraken
wanton pendant
#

Noxus hasn't been touched on in-game, he's never even named, only alluded to, that's why we can't just say that they said it, but again, no other option.

split mortar
balmy glacier
wanton pendant
#

Everything we know of that is stronger then DoG is either A. Worked for Yharim. B. Is Yharim. C. Is in the bottom of the abyss. D. Is Noxus. E. Is Xeroc.
And Xeroc doesn't fit the description.

balmy glacier
#

are noxus and xeroc gonna receive their lore items like all bosses do?

wanton pendant
#

Good question.

split mortar
#

It being noxus is basically everything but confirmed

wanton pendant
#

Because by the time we fight them, Yharim should be dead.

mighty zenith
split mortar
mighty zenith
#

and so will lore items

wanton pendant
#

Maybe they'd do it like WotG and have a different theme.

#

Maybe from Xeroc's perspective.

split mortar
#

Xeroc be the one yapping

wanton pendant
#

Get that guys comment.

Since we won't be killing them.

also this isn't confirmed so take it with a grain of salt

Dragon cannibalism.

Question, would eating something infected by the Astral Infection be bad for you? I'm writing something...

light linden
#

likely would be bad

#

might not infect you but there's a high chance you're ingesting metal and stone

wanton pendant
#

I feel like eating something infested with the essence of a rotten star is probably going to have some health consequences.

split mortar
wanton pendant
#

Now to come up with the side effects from consumption...

cosmic zenith
#

We wouldn't canonize an Auric Dragon absorbing another soul

#

A Dragon attacking another is already a major offense and a sign that things have gotten really fucked up

#

Absorbing another Dragon's soul would be evil incarnate

#

I mean, that's part of the question.

Since I'm asking can it be prepared and eaten.

But like, that thing's gotta have every parasite.

light linden
#

I mean

#

it won't be good for you even if you cook it

#

it's a bunch of essence with blood that is basically acid

wanton pendant
#

This is what I put it down as earlier: 'Inedible. While the quantity of meat on this engorged growth is immense, it’s rotten and infested with parasites. Side effects include lowered inhibitions, spontaneous combustion, explosive gas attacks and certain death.'

light linden
#

he's a few centuries old and doesn't like to fight

#

so I'd imagine he's had a few

split mortar
#

Dont think so

dreamy burrow
#

just one question

#

does providence actually get stronger at night in lore

wanton pendant
#

No.

light linden
#

that is actually being changed soon

#

something about returning her guardian's cores to her to make her stronger

pliant ruin
#

I mean i'm sure perma had other students and stuff

#

but

dreamy burrow
#

so like night time provi is now giga buffed provi?

pliant ruin
#

none that are relevant to the lore so

wanton pendant
#

It's relevant to his history I guess.

pliant ruin
#

like hes a renowed scholar he definitely had other people he teached magic to

#

but also i dont think knowing the specifics of John Student is something the lore will really touch on

pliant ruin
#

You will spawn her by using the profaned core twice instead

#

or whatever her summon item is called

dreamy burrow
#

got it thanks

split mortar
#

The form is canon but method rn isnt

#

Basically

light linden
#

bot

mortal imp
#

anyone got a idea what wulfrum machines/wulfrum scrap actually is?

wanton pendant
random mulch
#

wulfrum machines were hastily assembled robots made to harass yharim's troops

wanton pendant
#

Likely composed partially of Tungsten.

mortal imp
#

wolfram is another word for tungsten

wanton pendant
#

People sometimes have a hard time accepting the things named after tungsten are tungsten related.

#

Not even the worst, someone once tried to claim Cryogenic bars had nothing to do with ice.

mortal imp
#

also wulfrum machines do look a lot like tungsten

mortal imp
#

what is cryogenic bars

#

just really cold ice idk

wanton pendant
#

No.

#

They're a magical material.

mortal imp
#

oh

wanton pendant
#

Created by Permafrost.

#

(The guy.)

limpid saddle
#

hes got bars

#

(tehe)

wanton pendant
#

My question was how on earth do we smelt them.

limpid saddle
wanton pendant
#

And someone was like 'there's no evidence they have anything to do with ice.'

mortal imp
#

what about err

wanton pendant
#

The stuff made by an ice wizard in an ice biome unlocked by beating the ice boss.

mortal imp
#

scoria and the plant ore

split mortar
#

Maybe its ice magic infused metal so you can just
Melt it

wanton pendant
#

Scoria's made from volcanic activity or something, which 'plant ore'?

light linden
#

they're a magical material akin to glass that is stronger than mythril and much lighter

wanton pendant
#

Uelibloom is fossilized bark empowered by Providence's death or something.

split mortar
wanton pendant
#

Doesn't narrow it down.

#

Perennial?

mortal imp
#

perennial Ore

light linden
#

perennial is tied to silva

wanton pendant
#

It's energized plant matter.

#

How am I meant to know Uelibloom isn't canon.

random mulch
#

perennial ore is getting ground into dust eventually anyways

dusk laurel
#

uelibloom was an old lore thing anyways

wanton pendant
#

They don't have a 'things we're going to axe' document to my knowledge.

mortal imp
#

prety sure auric is just super electric gold

light linden
wanton pendant
light linden
#

I was just saying it's not canon

split mortar
wanton pendant
#

It's like, super magic metal.

#

That doesn't like the human skeleton.

#

Or any skeleton.

#

Or anything that's alive.

#

That isn't a dragon.

light linden
#

we don't entirely know what is gonna replace uelibloom

mortal imp
#

having the name auric

wanton pendant
#

I doubt it.

#

It's just gold coloured.

#

Gold isn't really strong.

light linden
#

profaned ore has been tossed around a bit but idk how canon that is

limpid saddle
dusk laurel
#

we literally have divine geodes i think if anything that should be/evolve into the profaned ore

hasty valley
limpid saddle
#

I mean an ore as strong as Scoria it makes sense that would develop in the pressure & magma of the abyss

wanton pendant
#

Yeah, and it's like, volcanic or soemething.

hasty valley
#

mostly pointing it out as an example that names shouldn't be taken at face value

wanton pendant
#

Most names are very literal in Calamity, Astrum Deus is the most obvious exception.

#

(Not a god.)

#

(But still is star themed.)

hasty valley
#

its just calamity's versions are

split mortar
wanton pendant
hasty valley
#

those who consumed an auric soul

light linden
mortal imp
#

magifiied gold with dragon spirit

light linden
#

it's worshipped as a god but didn't absorb an auric soul

wanton pendant
#

Astrum Aureus too, but again, it's infected by stars, got nothing to do with gold.

#

Yes, so by definition it's not a god.

#

That is the definition of god in the Calamity canon.

#

Someone who ate an auric soul.

split mortar
#

We are in calamity lore discussion so i feel calling something a god outside calamitys definition is a bit odd

hasty valley
#

There isn't a problem so long a clear distinction is made

wanton pendant
#

And Astrum Deus (Star God) isn't a god, but he eats stars.

hasty valley
#

its not like you broke a forbidden code

limpid saddle
#

& now i ponder once more, did the concept of a God originate with Xeroc & his rebirth as the God Of Primordial Light or did it exist beforehand

wanton pendant
#

What are you talking about.

wanton pendant
split mortar
light linden
wanton pendant
#

Or people used it as a descriptor for them.

wanton pendant
#

Aureus is its name, and the stars got 'em.

hasty valley
wanton pendant
#

But apart from that, most names are quite on the nose.

limpid saddle
wanton pendant
#

Guess what the Devourer of Gods does.

limpid saddle
#

The ritual did exist before anyone ascended after all

hasty valley
#

like thanatos

wanton pendant
#

Maybe Xeroc made it up.

hasty valley
#

he isn't a literal god of death

wanton pendant
#

Named after a god of death.

#

Because it kills people.

#

That's quite on the nose.

hasty valley
limpid saddle
split mortar
#

Didnt a dev confirm xeroc made it

wanton pendant
#

Ares is a war machine. Apollo and Artemis are hunters.

hasty valley
#

thats

split mortar
#

The ritual

limpid saddle
wanton pendant
#

Like, you know, the greek gods.

hasty valley
#

not why its called Thanatos 😭

wanton pendant
#

What are you not getting.

split mortar
mortal imp
#

golden heretic

wanton pendant
#

Thanatos was made to kill people. So it's named after the god of death.

limpid saddle
#

I thought we were still on the same page of not clear origins

wanton pendant
#

Is he ever even called that in the game?

mortal imp
#

ye

hasty valley
wanton pendant
#

And his armour is gold coloured.

cloud ibex
#

does draedon also use the suffixes for the exos

wanton pendant
#

Yeah I explained them too.

hasty valley
#

the other exo mechs are obvious enough to figure why they got their name

#

Thanatos is an odd one

cloud ibex
#

or does he just refer to them by their code and number

limpid saddle
wanton pendant
#

Ares is made for combat mastery.

limpid saddle
#

Thats why they're so fast

hasty valley
wanton pendant
#

Yeah, they're armed.

hasty valley
#

its not mutually exclusive

limpid saddle
#

They just also have weapons

hasty valley
#

.

wanton pendant
#

But are still scout machines.

#

Draedon's an overachiever.

hasty valley
#

so they can still kill people?

limpid saddle
#

Things can be multi-purpose but still have one main function

wanton pendant
#

Thanatos is the super kill people.

#

Not much else to name it after.

limpid saddle
split mortar
limpid saddle
#

I'd say that works for the super kill people robot

hasty valley
wanton pendant
#

Kratos is from the God of War video game.

hasty valley
wanton pendant
#

Which I'm going to assume Draedon hasn't played.

#

Don't spoil it for him.

split mortar
hasty valley
#

He exists in greek

split mortar
#

Cause the lava being sun hot isnt

wanton pendant
#

And is he a God of War?

hasty valley
#

no??

wanton pendant
#

Because he has ares for that.

hasty valley
#

he's the god of power/strength

limpid saddle
hasty valley
#

aka destroyer

wanton pendant
#

Who cares about strength when you got the power of death.

#

And they already did destroyer.

#

Ages ago.

hasty valley
wanton pendant
#

That's Yharon.

nimble mantle
#

What if

hasty valley
limpid saddle
nimble mantle
#

What if profaned graham balls?

hasty valley
#

💔

limpid saddle
#

Empy you're kinda pulling out your ass here to complain about shit that doesnt matter

wanton pendant
#

If you're making robots to kill people, you don't wanna invoke themes of surviving death.

#

All because you didn't get a definition right.

hasty valley
#

Destroyer contains the souls of might
Thanatos being named after the deity of strength continues the theming

#

thats why I brought it up lo

wanton pendant
#

Yeah. But nobody's heard of the original Kratos, nobody would get it.

#

Thanatos is a bit more well known.

wanton pendant
#

And strength is a bit less intimidating then death.

hasty valley
#

people also would've commonly confused thanatos with thanos

wanton pendant
#

I know, I've seen a pizza place before.

hasty valley
#

huh

#

I don't get the reference?

wanton pendant
#

Anyway, Thanos is named after Thanatos (The psychological concept, not the god, but it's named after the god.)

split mortar
#

@light linden

wanton pendant
#

No I literally saw a pizza place with Thanos listed as a god.

hasty valley
#

LOL?

dusk laurel
wanton pendant
#

Because Italian.

limpid saddle
split mortar
#

Oh rip

limpid saddle
#

interesting to know that he invented it

wanton pendant
#

So my theory, Xeroc made it up, was right.

hasty valley
#

Would it have made more sense if he didn't?

split mortar
#

There should be a dev quote document

hasty valley
#

consider that someone else did

wanton pendant
#

Eh?

split mortar
wanton pendant
#

Who?

#

Xeroc was the first.

#

Others copied them.

hasty valley
#

wouldn't the dragons target the fella out of being threatened

wanton pendant
#

We don't know what happened back then.

hasty valley
#

before they got utterly destroyed by Fovos

limpid saddle
#

I mean it makes sense that the first guy to ever do it was the first guy to conceive it

split mortar
light linden
wanton pendant
hasty valley
wanton pendant
#

In fact, because of that.

split mortar
#

Xeroc only started ascension working after fovos invasion

wanton pendant
#

Xeroc did it with Zeratros.

split mortar
#

What

#

Huh

wanton pendant
#

Became a god.

hasty valley
#

huh

limpid saddle
hasty valley
#

guys you're

wanton pendant
#

Got the unmatched power of the sun.

hasty valley
#

completely misunderstanding me

split mortar
#

Ascending with multiple auric souls fucks you up

wanton pendant
#

Then everyone copied them.

limpid saddle
#

are you just making shit up to be wrong

hasty valley
#

lets say Xeroc wasn't the first to become a god

wanton pendant
#

Not true, but ok.

#

For a hypothetical.

hasty valley
#

aka they did absorb zeratros but wasn't the first person to absorb a dragon's soul

wanton pendant
#

Go on.

limpid saddle
wanton pendant
#

Maybe.

hasty valley
#

a person who did it before him would have done it with a dragon that is likely substantially weaker than zeratros, and such a person who invented the ritual would probably be deemed a threat to the dragons

wanton pendant
#

And also, a murderer.

#

Yeah they'd probably die quickly.

hasty valley
#

Dragons would've likely took them out and prevent the spreading of the ritual

split mortar
#

Ok but what does it add to the story to remove xerocs title as the first god and person who started the dragon killing

wanton pendant
#

So Xeroc had the perfect opportunity.

#

Xeroc's stronger then every dragon.

hasty valley
#

Xeroc's special because he already did it with the strongesto ne

wanton pendant
#

And the dragons just almost lost a war.

split mortar
#

Ok but like
Why not have xeroc be the first?

wanton pendant
#

So like, not like anyone COULD stop Xeroc.

#

It's a hypothetical.

hasty valley
#

there couldn't have been one before Xeroc

#

at leas

#

not a known one

wanton pendant
#

Yeah I get it.

split mortar
#

I dont im confused

wanton pendant
#

Because it's unlikely someone who became a god otherwise would be able to survive the fallout.

wanton pendant
#

If there was one before Xeroc.

#

There isn't.

#

It's a hypothetical.

split mortar
#

Ah ok

wanton pendant
#

So let's say Providence somehow became first goddess.

#

The dragons would kill her.

#

No more Providence.

hasty valley
#

yep

wanton pendant
#

And likely same for any god that wasn't explicitly consensual.

#

And even then...

#

Someone threw Silva into the abyss back in the day...

hasty valley
#

for Xeroc's case, he was FAR stronger than all the other dragons, so news of ascension quickly spread since he endured it long enough

wanton pendant
#

Xeroc's also the strongest thing in the canon.

hasty valley
#

and becuase the dragons were already

wanton pendant
#

So they couldn't stop 'em even if they wanted.

hasty valley
#

affected by Fovos

wanton pendant
#

They could barely beat Fovos.

#

Xeroc's stronger then Fovos.

limpid saddle
#

He wasnt being hunted by the dragons to any capacity though he just, left

split mortar
#

It was considered super dire if auric dragons fought so perma killing one no matter what is probably how you get all your organs hanged separately

limpid saddle
#

probably is literally in the sun

wanton pendant
#

Also, it's possible Xeroc was granted their soul consensually, but nobody knows, other then Xeroc.

wanton pendant
#

And arguably, either way it was necessary.

hasty valley
wanton pendant
#

Since otherwise no sun.

split mortar
hasty valley
#

and also its possible that Yharon woke up to finding out his species is almost extinct and immediately based it off a presumption

wanton pendant
#

Good point.

#

I mean, Yharon did get killed during the hunts.

#

He just respawns.

#

In an egg.

split mortar
#

Yharon respawns in a decade so he did see the downfall happen

hasty valley
wanton pendant
#

Fovos is implied to be able to permanently kill dragons.

#

So if Yharon died to him...

#

I'm not sure it'd be a good look.

hasty valley
#

since he took Yharon out first

#

the other dragons auric souls were lost

#

since Yharon's rebirth wouldn't have reached them in time

wanton pendant
#

I assume the resurrection thing isn't time sensitive.

hasty valley
#

probably, probably not

wanton pendant
#

Otherwise Yharon's respawn timer would be a bit of an issue.

hasty valley
#

who knows how souls behave with time

split mortar
wanton pendant
#

And I'd assume because of Lunar Bite Yharon didn't die to Fovos.

hasty valley
#

the point I was making is simply a possibility, not a given

wanton pendant
#

He's like the second strongest dragon, so I'd say he'd fair alright.

#

Every time I bring up a possibility they crucify me.

split mortar
#

Fovos has a lot of soul related stuff iirc and yeah can fuck with healing while in a weakened state maybe full power outright starts shredding your soul a bit who knows

limpid saddle
hasty valley
split mortar
limpid saddle
#

Especially after the humand turned on the dragons

hasty valley
#

(aka he could virtually do nothing against it)

wanton pendant
hasty valley
wanton pendant
#

Xeroc's quite possibly unkillable.

#

Or at least practically unkillable.

limpid saddle
wanton pendant
#

But you can totally kill Fovos.

#

Like, power of the sun.

hasty valley
wanton pendant
#

How do you KILL the sun.

hasty valley
#

entirely light is he not?

long bloom
#

devs have stated xeroc can tank a nuke

long bloom
hasty valley
#

but then again we were fighting fucking illusions in boss rush

wanton pendant
#

That's Xeroc's power.

limpid saddle
wanton pendant
#

Hard Light constructs among them.

limpid saddle
#

thats not how domains work

split mortar
wanton pendant
#

They're basically green lantern.

#

You're thinking of elementals.

hasty valley
limpid saddle
#

(Other than Silva but thats just because shes an elemental)

wanton pendant
#

They're made of their stuff.

split mortar
#

We dunno if he is primordial light or not but iirc he is among the less changed guys

wanton pendant
hasty valley
#

which we do hit

limpid saddle
#

Like the God Of Blood (ravager) isnt eintierly composed of blood

hasty valley
split mortar
long bloom
#

jesus

wanton pendant
#

The gap between Yharon and prime Foxos was probably closer to like, I don't know, pre-hardmode Terrarian vs. Moonlord. But Yharon has backup.

wanton pendant
#

Yeah, Calamitas can carpet nuke.

#

But it took a while.

split mortar
long bloom
wanton pendant
#

And it was with fire, not a nuclear blast.

#

What do you mean 4 days we have a number now?

long bloom
#

this is old news

hasty valley
#

FOUR DAYS?

#

LOL

split mortar
wanton pendant
#

Basically, incinerating a country is very impressive, but point blank nuke would destroy anything (sans Xerox.)

split mortar
#

4 days to effectively wipe out italy

limpid saddle
#

Yeah we've had a number for ages

hasty valley
#

reminder she is human

split mortar
#

Scal is human

wanton pendant
limpid saddle
hasty valley
#

typo

hasty valley
#

that means she had to take a break

split mortar
#

NOT ME

limpid saddle
#

last i recall she didnt

wanton pendant
#

But she's likely not able to focus all the power into a single point, or they could just one shot Terrarian, and Yharim, and anyone really.

hasty valley
#

so the energy output she can do in a given amount of time is possibly bigger than we thought

wheat walrus
hasty valley
wanton pendant
#

Calamitas is a human, she's just from hell so she looks like that.

split mortar
wheat walrus
#

and no im pretty sure that w the calcs I did that it wasn't quite the size of italy

wanton pendant
#

No wonder Permafrost was so mad.

split mortar
limpid saddle
#

yeah she was sourrounded by water too so that probably wasnt a concern

wanton pendant
#

Thanks for the contribution Mr. Beast.

split mortar
wanton pendant
#

Question, is the Sunken Sea salt or fresh water?

split mortar
wheat walrus
#

anyways

wanton pendant
#

So it's just a little salty.

wheat walrus
#

it has more surface area than italy

wanton pendant
#

Not sure if she should be drinking that.

wheat walrus
#

with what i was going

#

what i was going with almost a year ago that is

wanton pendant
#

Bascically, Seacily is screwed.

limpid saddle
wheat walrus
#

in 4 days the msg i shared in the server where i do this stuff will be a year old

wanton pendant
#

Calamitas is strong.

#

Providence is evil.

#

Yharim abuses kids.

#

Any questions?

limpid saddle
#

these are the roots of our world

split mortar
#

Draedon fuses bees with nukes

wheat walrus
#

which i will

wanton pendant
#

Yharim's just a coward.

#

And I stand by that Draedon could make actual nukes.

wheat walrus
wanton pendant
#

Someone went down the Diplomacy Tree.

split mortar
wheat walrus
#

draedon can most defo makes actual nukes

#

hell remove the most

#

it's defo

split mortar
#

Yeah easily

limpid saddle
wanton pendant
#

Someone was saying he couldn't.

hoary cape
#

Poor bees

wanton pendant
#

Because if he did wouldn't he just nuke Terrarian?

#

And I said that was ridiculous.

split mortar
wanton pendant
#

Because then he'd lose his favourite test subject.

#

It doesn't take a genius to tell that a nuke would kill us.

wheat walrus
#

he knows nuclear energy and the exo-prisms are specifically a step-up from nuclear energy that doesn't leave radioactive fallout that would salt experiment areas

hoary cape
#

Why would draedon want to nuke the planet he likes studying stuff can't do that if the planet has gone boom

wheat walrus
#

as well as seemingly being a source of limitless energy

wanton pendant
#

Also part of the point I made.

#

It's needless damage.

wheat walrus
wanton pendant
#

He has the Sulphurous sea for examining the effects of nuclear fallout.

#

Why cause more damage?

#

Still a more reasonable argument then Cryogenic bars are ice related.
