She literally calls him dad
adopted
It's just an adoptive one
She's adopted.
Yeah
just wanted to make sure
And is an adopted dad any less real?
no
He's the dad who stepped up.
was not aware that was in the game
Until it gets resprited anyways
She's not meant to be the eyeball but they needed an Excuse i guess

Not cope.
Cei has shown dialogue here before
and when is next update gonna be?
It's not ingame yet but will be
eventually
this year probably
But in reality, the clone is identical to Calamitas, but she probably is missing her scar.
Late this year at the earliest.
may god hear you
Or next year.
sso november/december guys
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
sunken sea overhaul
🐌
Thanks, Fabsol.
desert scourge
Yeah, Giant Clam.
yess
and cnidrion
who is that? is it posible for him to be the final boss of terraria that got deleted?
Cnidrion? It's a seahorse.
oh
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
no
if your world was made before worldgen changes it'll stay that way
😭
That's why Hardmode exists, so that new features could be added to old worlds back in the day.
will you start again
Yes.
Yes.
i mean itds just so difficult
If you want to experience the new worldgen yeah you have to make a new world
new world
I'm not afraid.
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)
i dont even know how i completed it
It's just how the game works man
yeah i know
Snid-ree-on.
yeah the c is silent
Cnidrion is so weird because like
nid ree on
Why is it called Cnidrion
Nid? That's awful.
Cnidrion comes from Cnidarian
it has nothing to do with like
What about this thing is rmeotelly Jellyfish
I blame the French, frankly.
Why is the sea horse named after jelly fish.
Who's idea was this?
Σnidrion
likely fabsol
What next, we name a destructive person after a word for destruction?
I don't know greek pronunciations.
the humble calamitas:
pfft, whats next
I think it'd be better to spell it Knidrion, since that has precedent with the word "knight"
She does know a thing or two about scorching jellyfish
naming a ice wizard after ICE???
Surely they wouldn't do it two more times?
next we are gonna find out the ice guy has an ice pun in their name
English is just a poorly-spelled/pronounced language
😭
Not a bad idea.
same brain cell
We should all just switch to... uh... Cornish?
What's next, naming the water elemental after a goddess of ocean in an IRL religion?
Dragon power. Or something.
Latin, you fool!
No, that's a romance language, and we're gamers.
We don't do romance.
We can do Manx, if you prefer?
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
Nerd.
Klingon
That's canon to Terraria...
Soyjaq SoH 'ej chaD jIH 'e' vInarghmoH ||I portray you as the soyjak and myself as the Chad||
Alright, that's it, you're learning Manchurian, and you are going to like it.
I'm disappointed no one asked about this
I will remove one of your spatial dimensions, crumple up your now-2-dimensional body, and flush you down the toilet
I'm not anchored in any of your commoner dimensions, peasant. Go exist in only 3 planes.
ICE-E with giant mana fists
I should make that an rp character....
ICE-E? I think I like that name...
why cant i summon him
In addon talk.
ok
Click on it, it should be to the side.
thx
the warrior's dark world form
theres a lot of lore I don't understand yet but what the hell is Calamitas' deal
what does she want
Okay I think I need more context. I'll figure it out I think
When she was around 13 her city was burnt to the ground.
She also got super powers.
She went to Yharim, or was brought to him, not made clear.
And Permafrost adopted her.
Yharim is a bad guy?
Yes.
Huh
I've only heard his name in passing to be fair
antagonist ≠ the big bad tho. like Kris Deltarune is antagonistic towards the player but theyre not evil
I know that.
he is evil though
But he literally groomed a child.
see: killing billions of people
I study media, I know the meaning of antagonist.
But why
why what
does he have a motive
Vengeance.
to kill every god
Or was he just bored
And justice, as he claims.
He likes dragons.
Gods kill dragons.
He kills gods.
and all those that worship
even though the majority of gods are good people, they still have to die in his eyes
true
is there a correlation with yharim and yharon sounding kinda similar
Oh
All of these put it in my head that Yharim is a boomer
They aren't that creative with names.
in new lore yharim named himself after yharon to show honor
When was that mentioned?
Calamitas like calamity
devs
Technically, Calamity is like Calamitas, Calamitas is the older word.
Yharon + HIM. Truly a goated name
having 2 different continuities is so confusing (coming from a Rain World fan btw (rain world has 3))
The old lore isn't canon.
It's just one. The old lore is obsolete
And nobody cares about it anymore.
because it sucked bad
Wowee
how extensive is the lore
Decently big.
pretty extensive
how long would it take me to figure it all out
I'm working on it.
read the pinned google doc
im an undertale fan i cant read
We know.
tragic
(i will probably read the doc later)
How many times must people come here asking what things that clearly state what they do do?
'What does the world nuker do?'
I was just about to joke "What does the planet-explode-inator do?"
Could the United States Military take out Yharim's forces?
One mind
No.
Wow
they can't survive a nuke
Do we give him DoG?
none of them can survive a nuke
Have you considered Exterminatus?
yharim worked with that fucking worm thing?
I mean. It's still just dog and yharim then
And yes, extensively, Yharim blames all his problems on him.
If the US can 1 shot most of his forces it does look pretty bleak
the devs have stated multiple times that a nuke would wipe out every calamity character except xeroc
You aren't safe from a nuclear blast even if you are in the sky

I do not believe a Gauss Nuke is equivalent to a nuclear bomb
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?
The one that cause acid rain stuff
No.
Why wouldn't he have done that already?
How do you know he hasn't?
If he could he has no reason not to have done that
Because we killed his greatest creations. Arming them with the power of the sun sounds like something you give to your greatest creation
Nuke is too imprecise, too clumsy, of course he wouldn't rely on them.
His machines are art.
Not some toy.
the lore document kinda implies that yharim is a good guy in the beginning so im kinda confused
Propaganda.
Why be artistic when you can say "FUCK EVERYTHING IN THAT DIRECTION"
He was comitting genocide.
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
Why would he do that, and devastate the land he wishes to study?
He did that though
Draedon may have dropped something.
It was one time.
He did ruin the land he was studying in the sulfurs sea
is the document trustworthy or not 😭
Yeah he wanted to study what happens when you nuke someone.
Mostly accurate, there's like one error because of an error in game.
Supreme Witch, Calamitas' bestiary entry states she served for nearly ten years. This is incorrect, she served for less.
Why not test what happens when you nuke someone who is blitzing through Fovos, Dog, Providence, ceaseless void
The radiation was so bad old Duke was going to turn into pure nuclear monster in phase 3
Then he'd lose his favourite test subject, and for what? That nukes work?
He probably knows a nuke would kill you.
So why bother? Nothing new to learn.
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
Do you think military engineering is the only reason he wishes to study?
Him testing us implies he doesn't
who are the onyx kinsmen
His machines are made for war, not mindless destruction, they are precise as they are deadly.
They're dead.
Except Statis.
Who is gay and lost some limbs making a deal.
He knows that a nuke is beyond our limits. He's refining his knowledge by narrowing the range of possibilities
How to speak Providence
Use lots of slurs.
i assume every character is dead by default
but who are they
Kil
*were
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.
I thought the kinsman worshipped signus or am I still old lore brained?
Signus stole the last one's limbs.
Yoink
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.
Isn't signus technically distortion satan
No?
Singus...
Damn, didn't know Signus got a cousin, Singus
He's from there.

All in le head.
Signus singer when
Related to Bingus?


Okay I may be too old lore brained
In the distortion hierarchy Signus is above Dog right or was that removed
No.

Signus is just some guy.
still correct
DoG follows Noxus.
he's still higher in the hierarchy
Signus -> Ligmus
What heirarchy?
this is literally new lore stuff
the natural order of the distortion
everything u asked was stuff only found in new lore
"It's so sad that the Onyx Kin died of Ligmus"
"Who the hell are the Onyx Kin?"
"Ligmus balls"

Wait so the kinsmen do worship signus and signus is distortion Satan????
yes
basically
He's not satan? Wouldn't that be more Noxus?
I was being fucking gaslit by Water
nah
you should look up the origins of "faustian bargain"...
I know about faust!
Satan as in the guy who makes deals with people not as in the evil demon lord
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.
Ngl I'd worship Signus he seems chill
so don't answer questions so confidently if you don't know???
At that rate, it's highway robbery.
Like current jobs won't do the same
I don't know that I don't know!
Become an Onyx Kinsman today. We have benefits
satan and lucifer are actually never stated to be the same being originally
This is Calamity and Terraria lore discussion not the Council of Nicaea.
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
Yeah that's why I was so confused.
Because how the hell is the DEVOURER OF GODS below the tooth man.
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
the correct way to say it is that signus just has more aura
By the sounds of it, Signus is just a closer related creature.
Like, Noxus probably resembles Signus a lot more then it resembles DoG.
how do you know that
It's an assumption based on him being a closer type of being.
Which would imply they are more similar.
Factual
By that being what those words mean.
In short, Noxus probably isn't a giant worm.
(Unfortunate.)
well duh
I think its less so direct biological relation more so the roles they fill
but noxus probably created dog
^
In appearance, Noxus is quite distinct from both
hm
Well, I would assume they wouldn't look the same.
Though he will share some familiarity with DoG to hint at their connection
I wasn't thinking 'big Signus.' Write that down for an addon.
bignus
ark Rockwell prime
only real ones remember og noxus
What if Noxus really is big Signus? What then? What would this mean?
Or is Signus just little Noxus?
What's wrong with Sixus?
Man it's SBR all over again 
If slime god is the sauce and astrum deus is the pasta, then what or who the hell is the meatball?
perforator hive
Profaned guardians
leviathan
Nah leviathan deserves to be a sushi
levi has an infinite supply of meatballs,,,
Hmmmm
hive mind
How loreous are we today
Wait what is their connection again?
Noxus is the true boss of DoG
a pawn where noxus is the king
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?
this basically👆
Like, if DoG could, would he betray Noxus?
Would fit dogs character but we dunno for sure
and if that were to happen dog has no stance against noxus
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.
i think that depends on if DoG has an ulterior motive to betray Noxus
The motive could literally just be narcissism.
well i guess some questions should remain open for debate
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.
I’m so out of touch with calamity lore I didn’t know there even was a connection between noxus and DoG lol
Yharim feeds him gods, Noxus probably does something for him.
Nah it makes sense, noxus isnt even named in the mod yet
Noxus it basically DoG's true boss.
He only works for Yharim to further their plans.
Where is that stated?
Which likely also benefits Noxus.
Very heavily implied.
Yharim, who shouldn't know Noxus exists comments that DoG is probably loyal to something else.
But that could be anything right?
And he knows DoG is hiding things and lying.
Noxus is the only real option.
Unless they reveal Boxus, Noxus' long lost brother.
Why?
DoG has their loyalty to a different force to yharim and noxus is the only thing in the distortion stronger then dog
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.
Xeroc would likely kill dog
For obvious reasons.
we know its noxus because its the only logical choice of character leftover from old lore
Ah
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.
what if he apologize
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.
Persmaps
free nitro should be enough
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.
are noxus and xeroc gonna receive their lore items like all bosses do?
Good question.
It being noxus is basically everything but confirmed
Because by the time we fight them, Yharim should be dead.
yharim will dead by then
If they do it wont be yharims perspective
and so will lore items
Maybe they'd do it like WotG and have a different theme.
Maybe from Xeroc's perspective.
Xeroc be the one yapping
solve xeroc’s quiz to find answer to rock’s lore entry
'What is blue and is the sky? The answer is sky, say sky!'
The ground?
prove riemann’s hypothesis in 25 seconds
Dang I thought that was the correct answer
irl mathematician
Rayman like the video game character is neat
He loses the aura points that the guy who figured out quaternions has.
Come on, has nobody heard about that guy?
him?
No, he didn't discover quaternions.
must be someone else idk who
William Rowan Hamilton.
hamilton? now that name rings a bell

draedon perspective
'What the hell was that thing Terrarian? Was that the sun? Did you just fist fight the sun?'
What happens if one were to consume multiple auric souls? Asking for a friend
from what I was told
you'd start losing control of your body
decent chance it depends on whether you'd perfectly ascend or not
I'd still be hungry
God^2.
also this isn't confirmed so take it with a grain of salt
I've heard that the frost dragon already had an auric soul and absorbed another
Dragon cannibalism.
I can't remember if that's the add-on frost dragon or the canon one
@cosmic zenith can you help me out here?
I can't remember for the life of me
It has been described as you would quickly become auric polterghast essentially
From like just 3 souls
So generally, BAD
Question, would eating something infected by the Astral Infection be bad for you? I'm writing something...
likely would be bad
might not infect you but there's a high chance you're ingesting metal and stone
I feel like eating something infested with the essence of a rotten star is probably going to have some health consequences.
Would be quite bad maybe even lethal
Now to come up with the side effects from consumption...
Addon
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
to yharim or in general?
This is in general so the next part is also how aurics see it
In general
I'd imagine if that did happen and the dragon lived until the crusades uh
yharim would be
very very very very angry
He'd be disillusioned and furious
like get calamitas to necromancy it back to life to kill it again type angry
Dracolich 
actually this reminds me of something stip
could primordial light be focused to burn something like sunlight can be irl?
Yes
Why on earth is the Perforator hive so low on the bestiary?
How bad do you think it would be if you tried to eat the Perforator? On a scale of Hospital to Dead?
it's alphabetical
I'm sorting by number.
And T is quite late in the alphabet.
The next one is the Wulfrum guys.
Dead
Yeah that's what I was thinking, just wanted to see if there was any counter-arguments.
What if you cook it first?
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.
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
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.'
essence that is seemingly still sentient and actively tries to control things
Not to my knowledge.
Do we know if he ever had others?
@manic coral hey you got a minute?
I mean
he's a few centuries old and doesn't like to fight
so I'd imagine he's had a few
No.
that is actually being changed soon
something about returning her guardian's cores to her to make her stronger
so like night time provi is now giga buffed provi?
none that are relevant to the lore so
It's relevant to his history I guess.
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
yeah night time provi is being changed
You will spawn her by using the profaned core twice instead
or whatever her summon item is called
got it thanks
bot
anyone got a idea what wulfrum machines/wulfrum scrap actually is?
Someone who opposed Yharim.
wulfrum machines were hastily assembled robots made to harass yharim's troops
Likely composed partially of Tungsten.
i was thinking that too
wolfram is another word for tungsten
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.
also wulfrum machines do look a lot like tungsten
speaking of that
what is cryogenic bars
just really cold ice idk
oh
My question was how on earth do we smelt them.
hit them really hard
And someone was like 'there's no evidence they have anything to do with ice.'
what about err
The stuff made by an ice wizard in an ice biome unlocked by beating the ice boss.
scoria and the plant ore
Maybe its ice magic infused metal so you can just
Melt it
Scoria's made from volcanic activity or something, which 'plant ore'?
they're a magical material akin to glass that is stronger than mythril and much lighter
Uelibloom is fossilized bark empowered by Providence's death or something.
hardmode one
I presume the plant ore thats in life alloy
uelibloom is non canon
perennial Ore
perennial is tied to silva
perennial ore is getting ground into dust eventually anyways
uelibloom was an old lore thing anyways
They don't have a 'things we're going to axe' document to my knowledge.
prety sure auric is just super electric gold
I wasn't trying to get onto you
Not quite.
I was just saying it's not canon
Its dragon related
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.
we don't entirely know what is gonna replace uelibloom
profaned ore has been tossed around a bit but idk how canon that is
Isnt Scoria already there you just cant mine it
we literally have divine geodes i think if anything that should be/evolve into the profaned ore
Astrum aureus
I mean an ore as strong as Scoria it makes sense that would develop in the pressure & magma of the abyss
Yeah, and it's like, volcanic or soemething.
mostly pointing it out as an example that names shouldn't be taken at face value
yes
ok not magma but like heat
Most names are very literal in Calamity, Astrum Deus is the most obvious exception.
(Not a god.)
(But still is star themed.)
Not in calamity
No.
those who consumed an auric soul
it's a god in the religious sense rather than calamity's definition
magifiied gold with dragon spirit
it's worshipped as a god but didn't absorb an auric soul
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.
We are in calamity lore discussion so i feel calling something a god outside calamitys definition is a bit odd
There isn't a problem so long a clear distinction is made
And Astrum Deus (Star God) isn't a god, but he eats stars.
its not like you broke a forbidden code
& 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
What are you talking about.
I'd assume they coined the term.
Yeah all i said was it was a bit odd not lying or anything
the reason he's called aureus is because that's the name of its model line
Or people used it as a descriptor for them.
If so, that makes the name very literal again.
Aureus is its name, and the stars got 'em.
Considering he's the first, pretty much?
But apart from that, most names are quite on the nose.
Well no because it could've had another origin just the name was then used as a strict descriptor for those who consumed auric souls
Guess what the Devourer of Gods does.
The ritual did exist before anyone ascended after all
a good chunk are to sound cool as shit
like thanatos
Maybe Xeroc made it up.
he isn't a literal god of death
?
So nobody can say for sure about the etymological origins of the term God in Calamity
Didnt a dev confirm xeroc made it
Ares is a war machine. Apollo and Artemis are hunters.
thats
The ritual
Fr???
Like, you know, the greek gods.
not why its called Thanatos 😭
What are you not getting.
Yeah lemme look for it
golden heretic
Thanatos was made to kill people. So it's named after the god of death.
I thought we were still on the same page of not clear origins
He's a heretic.
Is he ever even called that in the game?
ye
so are the other exo mechs
And his armour is gold coloured.
does draedon also use the suffixes for the exos
Yeah I explained them too.
the other exo mechs are obvious enough to figure why they got their name
Thanatos is an odd one
or does he just refer to them by their code and number
yes
Well no Apollo & the other one were designed mainly for reconnaisance
Ares is made for combat mastery.
Thats why they're so fast
they literally have a built in system to shoot targets with plasma as hot as the surface of the sun
Yeah, they're armed.
its not mutually exclusive
They just also have weapons
.
Why wouldnt they???
so they can still kill people?
Things can be multi-purpose but still have one main function
I mean its exhaust grills people instantaneously
Much hotter the surface of the sun is crags lava not scal fire
I'd say that works for the super kill people robot
Would've made more sense to have it called Kratos
Kratos is from the God of War video game.
that was metaphorical
What?
What was
Cratos/Kratos.
He exists in greek
Cause the lava being sun hot isnt
And is he a God of War?
no??
Because he has ares for that.
he's the god of power/strength
Yeah but he isnt The God Of War™
aka destroyer
Who cares about strength when you got the power of death.
And they already did destroyer.
Ages ago.
Being strong enough to overcome death
That's Yharon.
What if
yeah no fucking shit i meant continuing destroyer's theming
true
What if profaned graham balls?
💔
Empy you're kinda pulling out your ass here to complain about shit that doesnt matter
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.
Destroyer contains the souls of might
Thanatos being named after the deity of strength continues the theming
thats why I brought it up lo
Yeah. But nobody's heard of the original Kratos, nobody would get it.
Thanatos is a bit more well known.
To be fair
And strength is a bit less intimidating then death.
people also would've commonly confused thanatos with thanos
I know, I've seen a pizza place before.
Anyway, Thanos is named after Thanatos (The psychological concept, not the god, but it's named after the god.)
@light linden
No I literally saw a pizza place with Thanos listed as a god.
LOL?
yah
Because Italian.
uh wrong ping but thanks
Oh rip
interesting to know that he invented it
So my theory, Xeroc made it up, was right.
Would it have made more sense if he didn't?
There should be a dev quote document
consider that someone else did
Eh?
Why so?
wouldn't the dragons target the fella out of being threatened
We don't know what happened back then.
before they got utterly destroyed by Fovos
I mean it makes sense that the first guy to ever do it was the first guy to conceive it
After he ascended uh
Xeroc would be too strong

Xeroc became a god after that.
Before xeroc implies they did it with a dragon that isn't zeratros
In fact, because of that.
Xeroc only started ascension working after fovos invasion
No?
?????
Xeroc did it with Zeratros.
Became a god.
huh
dude what are you talking about
guys you're
Got the unmatched power of the sun.
completely misunderstanding me
Ascending with multiple auric souls fucks you up
Then everyone copied them.
are you just making shit up to be wrong
lets say Xeroc wasn't the first to become a god
aka they did absorb zeratros but wasn't the first person to absorb a dragon's soul
Go on.
Anyway I wonder if he studied on & took inspiration on the origin of the Auric Souls, the World Soul Shards to create the ritual
Maybe.
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
Dragons would've likely took them out and prevent the spreading of the ritual
Ok but what does it add to the story to remove xerocs title as the first god and person who started the dragon killing
Xeroc's special because he already did it with the strongesto ne
And the dragons just almost lost a war.
Ok but like
Why not have xeroc be the first?
that was the point I was making
there couldn't have been one before Xeroc
at leas
not a known one
Yeah I get it.
I dont im confused
Because it's unlikely someone who became a god otherwise would be able to survive the fallout.
They're saying Xeroc must be first, otherwise the dragons would just kill whoever became the first god.
If there was one before Xeroc.
There isn't.
It's a hypothetical.
Ah ok
So let's say Providence somehow became first goddess.
The dragons would kill her.
No more Providence.
yep
And likely same for any god that wasn't explicitly consensual.
And even then...
Someone threw Silva into the abyss back in the day...
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
Xeroc's also the strongest thing in the canon.
and becuase the dragons were already
So they couldn't stop 'em even if they wanted.
affected by Fovos
He wasnt being hunted by the dragons to any capacity though he just, left
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
probably is literally in the sun
Also, it's possible Xeroc was granted their soul consensually, but nobody knows, other then Xeroc.
True
And arguably, either way it was necessary.
yeah that as well, A hypothetical that if the first god was with any other dragon, they would've likely been killed before ascension news started to spread
Since otherwise no sun.
Or the sun goes without control and burns the planet
and also its possible that Yharon woke up to finding out his species is almost extinct and immediately based it off a presumption
Good point.
I mean, Yharon did get killed during the hunts.
He just respawns.
In an egg.
Yharon respawns in a decade so he did see the downfall happen
was he not wiped out during Fovos's invasion and respawned after the hunt started?
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.
for a while i thought it was because
since he took Yharon out first
the other dragons auric souls were lost
since Yharon's rebirth wouldn't have reached them in time
I assume the resurrection thing isn't time sensitive.
probably, probably not
Otherwise Yharon's respawn timer would be a bit of an issue.
who knows how souls behave with time
We dunno if there is a time limit
And I'd assume because of Lunar Bite Yharon didn't die to Fovos.
the point I was making is simply a possibility, not a given
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.
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
Its my belief that he saw Xeroc rise in his divine form from the peak that they kept Zeratros at, heard his declaration & assumed the worst
it'd be like terrarian against Xeroc
You are likely inderestimating how strong prime fovos is
Especially after the humand turned on the dragons
(aka he could virtually do nothing against it)
I think Xeroc's a bit stronger.
relatively speaking
yeah
I mean he's like
How do you KILL the sun.
entirely light is he not?
devs have stated xeroc can tank a nuke
no
but then again we were fighting fucking illusions in boss rush
That's Xeroc's power.
Hes a dude he just controls light
Hard Light constructs among them.
thats not how domains work
Boss rush is him creating constructs based on bosses
someone bring up the statistics for Scal evaporating the ocean
(Other than Silva but thats just because shes an elemental)
They're made of their stuff.
We dunno if he is primordial light or not but iirc he is among the less changed guys
It was a sea somewhere between half to a full Italy.
yeah I am saying that these constructs are made of primordial light
which we do hit
Like the God Of Blood (ravager) isnt eintierly composed of blood
they calculated the energy output iirc and its MULTIPLE nukes worth of energy
Might change since more recent statement said sunken sea is like italy sized
jesus
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.
Italy's fairly large no?
Half to a full tsar bomba of energy per second on average
4 days
And it was with fire, not a nuclear blast.
What do you mean 4 days we have a number now?
this is old news
Cei gave 3-5 days timeframe and middle is 4
Basically, incinerating a country is very impressive, but point blank nuke would destroy anything (sans Xerox.)
4 days to effectively wipe out italy
Yeah we've had a number for ages
reminder she is human
Scal is human
She is.
yeah she is
typo
that means she had to take a break
last i recall she didnt
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.
so the energy output she can do in a given amount of time is possibly bigger than we thought
you brought up italy melon,,,
4 days straight blasting a beam???
Calamitas is a human, she's just from hell so she looks like that.
She went on till she went unconscious to exhaustion iirc
and no im pretty sure that w the calcs I did that it wasn't quite the size of italy
No wonder Permafrost was so mad.
Oh fair point
Thought you were annoyed at me again for referencing that calc
yeah she was sourrounded by water too so that probably wasnt a concern
Thanks for the contribution Mr. Beast.
Oh great so the nukes are bigger now
Question, is the Sunken Sea salt or fresh water?
Brackish
i lwk am since it's been ages but idc too much
anyways
So it's just a little salty.
it has more surface area than italy
Not sure if she should be drinking that.
Bascically, Seacily is screwed.
Either that or she had some on her when she started up the ol brimstone grill
in 4 days the msg i shared in the server where i do this stuff will be a year old
these are the roots of our world
Draedon fuses bees with nukes
not if i have a say in this
which i will
That's awesome.
Yharim's just a coward.
And I stand by that Draedon could make actual nukes.
calamitas shan't act in the slightest
Someone went down the Diplomacy Tree.
Didnt he like actually do that?
Yeah easily
me when i "PLAGUE NUKE BARRAGE ARMED, PREPARING FOR LAUNCH!!!"
Someone was saying he couldn't.
Yharim should fuse draedon with a bee and see how he feels smh
Poor bees
Because if he did wouldn't he just nuke Terrarian?
And I said that was ridiculous.
Thats just exo plague
Because then he'd lose his favourite test subject.
It doesn't take a genius to tell that a nuke would kill us.
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
Why would draedon want to nuke the planet he likes studying stuff can't do that if the planet has gone boom
as well as seemingly being a source of limitless energy
which is the other and more important step-up from nuclear energy
