But no real slaves.

icy veldt
#

slaves """"""citizens""""""

wanton pendant
#

She could leave whenever she wanted.

icy veldt
#

There, happy now?

pliant ruin
#

I imagine there have been atleast a few cases of people who used to be on Yharim's side turning to gods

wanton pendant
#

Of course, she'd be then sentenced to death if she ever showed her face around there again.

pliant ruin
#

And honestly, vice-versa aswell

#

Maybe in a situation where they felt betrayed by their gods

wanton pendant
#

Like Permafrost. He could leave. He then had a hit put on him.

icy veldt
#

Or just wanting to join the side that's winning

icy veldt
wanton pendant
#

You see, if he was a slave, he wouldn't have been allowed to leave in the first place. So it's, like, marginally better.

#

And Calamitas, well the goal was to make her not WANT to leave.

#

That didn't work.

icy veldt
wanton pendant
#

Turns out there's only so much senseless violence one can take before it gets old.

slender snow
#

yharim is actually a respectable bipartisan

wanton pendant
#

True!

slender snow
#

if you worship gods you get to meet them

wanton pendant
#

True!

icy veldt
wanton pendant
#

Those get put in the Civilian Mincer 9001.

#

(Skeletron Prime.)

#

You'd think he'd stop and question what he was doing after that one.

pliant ruin
random mulch
#

a giant metal skull with a cannon, a chainsaw, a vice and a laser gun

slender snow

#

truly a tool of justice

slender snow
#

blame him

wanton pendant
#

Obviously that's how heart of the elements works.

#

They see you're strong.

icy veldt
wanton pendant
#

And side with you.

wanton pendant
#

More civilians for the civilian shredder.

icy veldt
#

A perfect use for those empty rhetorical catchwords

tropic oak
#

if it wasn’t forwarded here already

wanton pendant
#

Someone hasn't been hopemaxxing.

#

The peeled Silva is back.

#

Why is she peeled.

icy veldt
#

Yharim was certainly hopemaxxing

wanton pendant
#

No, no, Yharim's a despairer, real hopemaxxers don't act like him.

slender snow
icy veldt

wanton pendant
#

(I know.)

random mulch
#

(then why did you ask)

split mortar
wanton pendant
#

(Because it's funny.)

#

If anyone's hopemaxxing it's Calamitas.

random mulch
#

yharim's still as delusional as ever

split mortar
#

If he was given a chance he would do the crusade again but better

wanton pendant
#

And with less child abuse, probably.

random mulch
#

a thousand more civilian shredders for the crusade part 2

icy veldt
wanton pendant
#

Not a real child abuser, lower on the tier list.

#

He falters in Child Abuse Scaling.

icy veldt
wanton pendant
#

No, no, he's delusionposting.

#

Quite different.

icy veldt
#

Is it?

wanton pendant
#

Yes, quite.

#

He only thinks of what he would do better, not what he can do now.

icy veldt
#

If you break the world enough, the line between hope and delusion starts to blur

wanton pendant
#

A real hopemaxxer thinks on what to do in the here and now.

#

Yharim has abandoned the now and lives in the past, believing that the old glory could return.

#

He wants a successor, or to die a martyr for his cause.

#

Which isn't very hopemaxxing.

icy veldt
#

Being Yharim's successor and building a better world would basically be rewarding him for his evil

wanton pendant
#

Yeah, that's why the answer is to not start a genocidal crusade like a psychopath.

icy veldt
#

Yharim wanted to improve the world, by avenging the dragons and killing the gods, and he failed. He views the Terrarian as an opportunity to succeed in that matter

wanton pendant
#

Or as an overly elaborate suicide attempt.

#

Maybe both, maybe he just wants to beat someone up on an even playing field for once.

#

Before he dies.

This is really dumb, but my first impression was that she reminded me of Noko-tan

#

Probably the horns

random mulch
#

we need that lil plant thing as a mount tbh

spring helm
#

Final update

split mortar
spring helm
#

Silva mount

#

Not that different from the brimstone mount

#

Just plant instead

#

Oh hey she’s got legs now

pliant ruin
#

Honestly

#

the flower being a mount would be cute as hell

#

plus calamity dosent have many post ml mounts so...

#

Most mounts in general r donor content sooo...

random mulch
#

calamity has 4 non-dedicated mounts

visual kiln
pliant ruin
#

nooo

#

the silva flower

#

we already have brimrose.......

random mulch
#

calamity has more dedicated mounts than nod-dedicated mounts

pliant ruin
#

it has a face and everything

visual kiln
#

Oh ok

split mortar

It'd be cool

Maybe it could work like the mourning wood mount and just be crazy fast

we have 3 god sigils now

split mortar
#

Slime sigil when

i imagine providence will be getting hers once mango designs her pre-ascencion form

split mortar

#

what r they

pliant ruin
#

i mean im pretty sure primordial light just works as xerocs sigil atp

split mortar
pliant ruin
#

yeah

visual kiln
#

what does rav’s and silvas look like

pliant ruin
#

silva, agnus/ravager, xeroc

split mortar
pliant ruin

#

I dont have ravagers

random mulch
#

ravelgar

visual kiln
pliant ruin
#

yes

visual kiln
#

oh ok

random mulch
#

also the side view shows it's more of a full circle but it's at an angle

pliant ruin
#

honestly for how cute silva is im not sure how i feel about how hard she leans into the plant aesthethics

#

but to be fair

#

i guess that is to be expected with planty mush but

#

i always thought of it as more of just, yeah silvas life essence accelerating the grwoth of animals and plants/algae in the abyss alike

pliant ruin
#

just making her very plant-coded in aesthethics feels a bit generic and redudant to me? like Life = Plants is a very overdone trope and imo misses the mark that life is... well, literally just life, not just Plants

#

That is to say i dont dislike the design i think its very cute and im not sure how to make it better

#

Perhaps just

#

Adding more animalistic traits to her aswell

#

And maybe some fungi

visual kiln
#

make her a furry

pliant ruin
#

But also tbf

#

She has

#

horns

#

and hooves

visual kiln
pliant ruin
#

so the design does try doing that

#

I just wish it had a little more

cloud ibex
pliant ruin
#

Represented more different types of life, yknow?

cloud ibex
#

i would have loved if she had like

visual kiln
#

Yeah valid

#

Imagine if she had a fish tail

cloud ibex
#

some fungal elements or maybe even something fish-esque if you wanna get really wild and wacky

random mulch
#

turn silva into a microbial mat clueless

pliant ruin
#

Some shelf mushrooms on her, maybe bug antennae, maybe some gills or something, just, yeah

#

A bit more than just Plant

#

She does try getting that accross in her design with the horns and hooves but again it just feels like very little to me ?

#

Too much plant not enough Diversity imo.... Cool design but i think it could use some tweaks perhaps

#

Unsure if it would realistically get tweaks though, and if ti dsoent thats fine by me

THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING

THAT'S WHAT I'M HERE FOR!!!

visual kiln
pliant ruin
#

The horns do kind of give of a sort of insectoid appearance with their small little nubs and segmentaton? Feel like a mix of a ox's horns with a sort of bugg-y mandible appearance i suppose

#

kinda like how pinsir from pokemon turns a stag beetle's mandibles into horns

tropic oak
#

i want to make a theme out of this

Bruh if a Provy catgirl meowed at me, I'd be worshipping her and serving her until the end of time, no questions asked

You are not silly You are making very Strange and Uncomfortable Comments

icy veldt
#

Alright, lore question. How's the economy doing in the present day of Calamity?

visual kiln
#

exploded

split mortar
#

And also crusade

icy veldt
#

Is there any trade between the remaining settlements that haven't been destroyed? Large-scale manufacturing in Azafure was destroyed, so that's no longer usable

split mortar
#

We know theres a crystal city which probably trades a lot but idk anything beyond that

icy veldt
#

Is it related with the Hallow at all?

split mortar
#

Hallowed only exists once we free the essence from wof so no

icy veldt
#

Well how about a past/historical relation with the gods whose essences became the Hallow?

split mortar
#

We dunno

cloud ibex
#

stop being weird in public bro!!!!! you're harshing the vibes!!!!!!!!!

icy veldt
#

ok

icy veldt
errant lintel
#

what could this possibly mean

#

rejected by who? For what?

pliant ruin
#

Auric rejected

split mortar
pliant ruin
#

you know how if you mine auric ore without the proper equipment it sends you exploding and stuff

#

yeah

wheat walrus
# icy veldt ok

keep being weird in public bro keep harshing the vibes trust me this will gain you a thousand years of wealthy living

wheat walrus
errant lintel

cause those symptoms are a conspiracy

icy veldt

#

How would they be a conspiracy if the game itself says it

errant lintel
wheat walrus
#

trust

magic epoch
wheat walrus
#

what happens is what happens, for there is no greater truth than what you witness

magic epoch
#

someone asked this and tbh im kinda curious too

wheat walrus
#

i assume it depends

#

on what? no clue!

errant lintel
#

power scaling is so inaccurate

icy veldt
#

Yeah, seems like it would depend on how well the ascension is conducted

magic epoch
#

i just said it depends on the strength of the dragon, the ascender, and especially the success of the ascension

icy veldt
#

IIRC Xeroc and someone else (don't remember) had a perfect ascension, while (I think) Provy had an imperfect one

magic epoch
#

but idk anything beyond that

magic epoch
#

she also had like a near perfect ascension methinkies

icy veldt
#

^

#

That's whom I was thinking of

wheat walrus
#

Xeroc and Silva are the only ones with the same domain as the dragon soul they inherited

errant lintel
#

Why are Auric souls the only way to godhood

wheat walrus
#

Dunno ask Xeroc

magic epoch
#

because that's just tbe definition of god in the calamity universe

wheat walrus
#

What Amy said

magic epoch
#

someone who ascended via the consumption of an auric soul

errant lintel
#

well who made those auric souls
they are irreplaceable and aren't passed down

split mortar
errant lintel
#

and the top-tier beings turn into what they are by eating said souls

#

Define world soul

pliant ruin

The in lore explanation for why you dont is because your character would fucking die if they did as you can see from the tooltip

pliant ruin
split mortar
errant lintel
split mortar
#

Calamity does not explain that
It could we dunno

pliant ruin
#

well for one thats not even how the world came to be in real life but regardless we dont know and itll probably never be relevant

errant lintel
#

That's a really hopeless assumption

#

regardless, how did the auric souls find bodies to manifest themselves in

pliant ruin
#

what do you mean hopeless

errant lintel
#

and why did they have to be dragons in particular

split mortar
errant lintel
pliant ruin
#

theres no Hope here its literally jsut not relevant to the narrative

#

It's not Pessimistic dude what are you on about

#

its like me saying Bowser from Mario will never be relevant to the calamity story

split mortar
#

Calamity does not touch on cosmic stuff like the origin of the universe and planet

pliant ruin
#

It's not pessimistic its literally just Not What The Story Is About

errant lintel
#

I wasn't referring to calamity

pliant ruin
#

I was

icy veldt
pliant ruin
#

well for one thats not even how the world came to be in real life
because the big bang is now how the planet was created
but regardless we dont know and itll probably never be relevant
because how the world was created will likely never be relevant or explained in the calamity narrative

errant lintel

Dog is not on the scale of the origin of the universe

Does Yharim need a shanking license?

icy veldt

Yharim probably required everyone in his empire to have a license for just about everything

random mulch
#

how would one get a license-obtaining license

icy veldt
#

By being Yharim

errant lintel
#

Is the pun in the Devourer of Cods tooltip facts for saying that DoG was originally just an "Eater of Shoals" aka eater of souls

random mulch
#

it's just a pun, not lore

light linden
#

I mean

errant lintel
#

The DoG head does share similarities with the enemy though

light linden
#

idt that's ever been asked

#

we don't know anything about DoG's life cycle

split mortar
#

Dog is from an entirely different dimension to an eater if souls

tropic oak
#

because dog is a LOSER !!!!!!

errant lintel
#

I know but what if that other dimension just so happens to have an enemy similar or identical to the eater of souls

light linden
#

maybe?

#

we don't know much about it

errant lintel
#

which also just so happens to be a newborn DoG

split mortar
#

Id hope not that would be bad enemy design

light linden
#

well

#

we know almost nothing about specific creatures there

If I make a prediction, will it come through?

split mortar
#

Calamitas isnt a human she is azafurian debate

wanton pendant
#

No that happens like every two days.

#

We need another 'the name is actually misleading' debate.

#

Where there's like one guy with a misleading name (Astrum Deus) thus any name must be inaccurate.

#

So DoG doesn't devour gods, Cryogenic ore isn't ice related, etc.

#

Why does this keep happening.

split mortar
split mortar
wanton pendant
#

Nah, anyone who can't read won't know what that is.

#

Yharim, the Godseeker, never sought any gods.

#

(I mean, we kinda did that today...)

split mortar
wanton pendant
#

Yeah, but there's a real chance someone will say that for real at some point.

#

'If he's in the dragon place, then how could he seek gods?'

frosty charm
#

The idea I had for Noxus in the story is that they want to consume the light of the world and bring the distortion to reality (mostly a bonus since a hole is already torn between the two) but idk if that really fits Noxus

#

They hide in the distortion due to being in a state too weak to really impact much (could still relatively easily beat the MCs but would get wiped by Xeroc) and escape to eat the light of the sun afterwards

wanton pendant
#

Where's the child abuse sub-plot?

#

Obligatory embers mention since i havent done that in a while

#

This being embers

frosty charm
#

the climax of the story is that they appear in the aerie and consume almost the entirety of its' light (and the region itself) thus becoming like second strongest, either mc and yharim have to team up or it's right after the yharim fight

wanton pendant
#

What?

split mortar

After the Yharim fight he's dead.

but last i knew it took Xeroc nearly all of his might to carve out a rock from it

split mortar

#

either they appear right after the mc kills them and the mc has to fight them in their weakened state or they appear before the fight actually happens and they put aside all their differences and fight noxus (and then the mc kills yharim anyways since they'd hate them)

been pining to replay them

Thats a really good one both plot & game wise

split mortar

#

the game itself is also fun and challenging but uhh back to the story idea

tropic oak
#

hi

limpid saddle
limpid saddle
frosty charm
#

the reason i want the aerie to collapse onto the main world is because i want it to like, highlight that it's the end of an era. the end of the godseeker and the end of the dragons (the aerie is too far gone for yharon to resurrect so they're all dead)

tropic oak
limpid saddle
#

i like our talks

frosty charm
#

i know that by the time the game starts the age of the dragons is already "over" (yharon is the only one left) and the godseeker is basically in retirement (i think) but like

#

once it collapses that's that

limpid saddle
#

i think the aerie exists as a very poinent embodiment of what has left the world

split mortar
icy veldt
#

Instead of crashing it into the main world, how about we blow up the entire thing?

limpid saddle
frosty charm
frosty charm
limpid saddle
#

The last traces of the World Soul gone from the planet, its only mourner exiled from that world it was once a part of

limpid saddle
#

not how alcholism works

icy veldt
#

Never tried it, so I wouldn't know

frosty charm
#

however, since the hole in the distortion exists it kinda warps the two together

#

(since noxus is still a distortion entity)

#

i want the main area of the aerie to be an abandoned cathedral, overgrown by foreign life and only really inhabited by yharim

limpid saddle
#

i always thought of the aerie as just pure nature & only rock formations resembling structures

frosty charm
#

i dont see why there wouldn't be, i think the lore straight up mentions xeroc "kills" zeratos at a temple

robust osprey
#

hello lore chat

split mortar

Like a wide field with rocks ladened as steps along 'stairs', & a large rock symbolizing a gravestone sourrounded by flowers that will never bloom as Yharim kneels in silence in memory of a master he never knew

there's zeratros' light grave in Aerie am I right Melon gun

ive thought of the aerie as an autumn-set forest and dark grey rocks

limpid saddle

#

yeah i think only barebones concept art exists

I would imagine the aerie as big mountain with barely any tree

i tend to picture it looking kinda like the altus plateau from elden ring

frosty charm
#

at least outside of patreon/dev cord

icy veldt
#

I'd imagine the Aerie would look like a giant bombed-out crater after I'm done with it

frosty charm
# wanton pendant Why not.

ok cool

  • Leader guy is a mage (fire particularly) and is relatively kind to the team, sarcastic/laid back otherwise. Also kind of awkward. Dies super early on and forces other people into leadership
  • Second guy wants to be the best in the group (they think they are, they don't have an inferiority complex they just want to prove it) and is generally egotistical/self confident, eases into a leader role after the death of leader guy (second guy dies to DoG) also comes from the ruins of azafure
  • Third guy is a cynical jokester character, they've been through other realities in which everyone dies so they kinda stay distant so they won't get hurt. Has a rivalry/friendship with the fourth guy, dies at the start of the Yharim fight.
  • Fourth guy is my character (all of these guys are my friends characters refitted for the story) and is a slightly less egotistical, self-proclaimed enactor of justice. Their motives shift from fighting for the people to fighting out of spite (of yharim) and they end up surviving.
  • Fifth guy was scrapped and we may or may not add said fifth guy

in short human bones cant withstand the force generated by one of yharims punches
thus i had a theory
what if attunement replaced all or most of the calcium in yharims body with auric, allowing his skeletal structure to withstand impacts of the force he generates in a punch
because all/most calcium in his body is now auric, his teeth are auric too

the ideas i had are

  • second guy's main goal is that they want to 'free themselves' of the chains of their constant desire to be the best, killing themselves against dog kinda does that
  • third guy i genuinely have no clue and whenever i ask he goes "i dont know bruh" sooo
  • fourth guy starts as a hero because they've basically been told they need to be one, to someone who fights for their own goals because they want to
  • fifth guy may or may not exist so im not gonna get into it

This implies Elementals have bones.

Anything that doesn't have power from their genetics would just make a normal creature. So Dragons make old lore Dragonfolly for instance.

Calamitas makes... well... a normal woman.

And I guess any god that retains their DNA would just make what they looked like.

So like, not much of a point.

Chaos is Light.

Or even Primordial Light Elementals.

The only guess i'd POSSIBLY have is that they're life elementals influenced by the hallow's divine essence fuckshittery somehow but even that feels unlikely

They have the Rod of Discord, which is supposed to at least resemble Primordial Light.

'Though her title is lofty, she is more an emissary for the powers beyond and forces of nature.'
