But like

#

that's not my point

#

My point is that devourer is dead before Yharon is so like

languid badge
#

ok thats probably not true you can sorta justify it but like
its like if human society forgot how to make a fax machine in 70 years

wheat walrus
#

Human society wasn't halved in that time gng

deft comet
#

But the distortion is still a thing regardless of DoG's death, and Noxus could get the soul sometime between us fighting Yharon and Yharim

#

or even after

wheat walrus
#

I get your sentiment tho

languid badge
pliant ruin
# pliant ruin My point is that devourer is dead before Yharon is so like

Unless Noxus itself (The distortion creature Devourer serves with like 99% guarantee) can just come in and absorb the essence itself or it can just send other creatures to absorb it there wouldn't really be any way to do so

At which point its just like. Well if it can just do it himself or send other things to do it what's even the point of all this scheming iwth the Devourer

#

Why does the Devourer Exist if he can just Do It Himself

cloud ibex
#

Yharim has been making sure that no records of how to do the ritual remain

pliant ruin
#

Or just. send other distortion Goons to do it

wheat walrus
#

I know

cloud ibex
#

And there isn’t exactly a big sample size to test the ritual on anymore

languid badge
#

did they ever finally pull the plug on the simpsons

cloud ibex
#

So being able to rediscover the ritual seems very unlikely

languid badge
#

figures

wheat walrus
#

We also don't have flying cars

languid badge
#

so you're saying we lost flying cars

wheat walrus
#

No

deft comet
wheat walrus
#

I'm just saying they never made them

languid badge
#

I mean we have flying cars today

#

they just arnt practical

wheat walrus
#

But they made hawk tri 2 years from now

pliant ruin
wheat walrus
#

Yharim still hasn't released in my present

deft comet
#

I mean if Noxus is, like Draedon says like DoG a part of the hivemind they may serve different purposes

wheat walrus
#

Shen Gaoren returned to MH

pliant ruin
wheat walrus
#

Call of Duty is still releasing slop

deft comet
#

yeah for the hivemind and Noxus may be the channeling of that essence

pliant ruin
#

Yeah in which case Noxus wouldn't just show up and absorb Yharon's soul because that's Devourer's job and he's dead

wheat walrus
#

But on the lighter side, Fabsol is still unemployed

wheat walrus
pliant ruin
#

has the reign of yharim demo released yet

languid badge
#

how loreful

meager prism
deft comet
#

Its possible DoG was made to circumvent the ascension ritual in a way Noxus couldnt lessening the risk

#

I just think it would be weird for the rebirth soul to be ignored after we kill Yharon

real silo
#

Why

wheat walrus
#

ig

cloud ibex
#

It could be a sick little background detail in Yharim’s arena

deft comet
#

Its the last Dragon soul it seems kinda important

wheat walrus
#

They'll both return

cloud ibex
wheat walrus
#

And be the only ones to witness true eternity, ig

real silo
#

It is important

#

But what will anyone do about it

deft comet
wheat walrus
real silo
#

Yharim would hunt their ass if they try to get his soul

deft comet
#

It seems weird to have the soul of rebirth be the last one and not be used in some narrative manner to rebirth something

pliant ruin
#

how to kil all of the meaning of a story entirely and make everything that happened have no impact

cloud ibex
#

The dragons cannot be brought back

wheat walrus
#

Amoosing convo

real silo
#

If yharon could just rebirth dragons from god essence then there wouldn't have been a problem with gods ascending

deft comet
#

idk maybe we destroy the soul instead of ascending with it and end the age of divinity

cloud ibex
#

Their souls got turned into godly souls that then exploded because Yharim put all the gods in a wood chipper

pliant ruin
#

why would we

#

whar

real silo
#

The age of divinity ended already

#

yharim ended it

deft comet
#

end of the last soul idk what to call the era

pliant ruin
#

there's like other gods still alive and shit

#

silva and xeroc exist

#

and also like idk man

wheat walrus
#

The dragons are not returning, forcing the past into the present is futile, and that's basically the most important message of the mod.

pliant ruin
#

i think youre way too attached to the idea that something will happen with yharon'js soul

pliant ruin
#

hi garbo

wheat walrus
mighty zenith
#

hii

wheat walrus
deft comet
#

I mean we are going to the Aerie after we kill Yharon I would assume where he is right now

cloud ibex
#

I feel like trying to destroy Yharon’s soul to “end” the age of dragons or whatever implies that the age of dragons or gods is still going at this point

#

But it’s not

pliant ruin
#

one could call this a

#

age of calamity !

wheat walrus
#

The only living dragon is Yharon, the only living gods are Xeroc and Silva

cloud ibex
#

Yharim and Yharon cling on to the past like the dragons could still return but they can’t

#

Their time has passed and the two of them refuse to accept it

wheat walrus
#

There is 1 god more than the dragons, but this is effectively the age of neither at this point

deft comet
#

Yes so ending them both would be bringing on the age of humanity or whatever

#

So destroying the soul of rebirth makes sense

#

Since we are also going to the Aerie

pliant ruin
#

why would you end silva and xeroc

#

theyre just like

chill

wheat walrus
#

We're in the age of ???

cloud ibex
mighty zenith
#

but what does it actually change

pliant ruin
#

yeah its not

#

changing anything

cloud ibex
#

Their age is over already

#

There is nothing to end

real silo
#

None of them rule the world so it won't change anything

pliant ruin
#

its just like me when i kill silva because im bored or something

wheat walrus
#

Stone after the age of stone ends

real silo
#

Xeroc doesn't rule the world
Silva doesn't
Yharon doesn't either

cloud ibex
#

Making a big deal out of ending Yharon forever would be validating his belief that the age of the dragons hasn’t ended yet

mighty zenith
#

ironically, the most influential (not necessarily in a positive way) man in the world was human

wheat walrus
#

Yea

pliant ruin
wheat walrus
#

Yharim by far has had the greatest impact in modern history in cal, and singlehandedly too since most other big events are way more chain-like rather than 1 man going out of his way to do everything

pliant ruin
#

hes just like me!

wheat walrus
real silo
deft comet
#

And Yharon has shown he will go to great lengths to enact revenge like you know helping Yharim do the god killing crusade

real silo
#

All of yharim's followers are dead

deft comet
#

Then why kill Yharim either?

pliant ruin
#

I mean yeah like

#

I do think theres a valid reason to want to

wheat walrus
pliant ruin
#

put Yharon down for good

#

he's evil as fuck yeah

#

but like Silva and Xeroc?

#

Idk man they're just like

#

sitting there

deft comet
#

Silva is still not in a state of full being alive

pliant ruin
#

not yet but she'll be Eventually ™

mighty zenith
#

but she will be

deft comet
#

Is it even possible to kill Silva?

#

Well yeah

pliant ruin
#

Don't think you really can tbh

wheat walrus
#

If we wanna go by dev statements then you need to kill all living things to kill Silva

mighty zenith
#

its not really feasible for one person to do so

deft comet
#

but for right now there isnt much the player could do to kill Silva

pliant ruin
#

neither Xeroc and Silva can really be killed so good thing they're not like evil

mighty zenith
#

but also why would you do that

#

Yharon at least attacks you and is generally a psycho

deft comet
#

Why are we set on killing yharim?

wheat walrus
pliant ruin
#

because Yharim is like really evil

mighty zenith
#

silva does nothing negative for you

#

in fact she gives you stuff

pliant ruin
#

Whatever specific motivations you may have for it is

#

up to you

wheat walrus
cloud ibex
#

Yharim looked at Silva going “blehhhh :P” and decided “this motherfucker needs to perish”

deft comet
#

Do we know what gods sentenced yharim to death for not taking Yharon's soul?

cloud ibex
#

No

mighty zenith
#

nope

pliant ruin
#

Probalby evil biome gods though

mighty zenith
#

most likely they now belong to the evil biomes but we dunno

pliant ruin
#

Like

wheat walrus
#

They're dead now tho das what we know

pliant ruin
#

They were explicitly the first he took down

and i mean

theyre evil

deft comet
#

Well yeah I get that

#

And if they wanted Yharim to serve over them then its likely Xeroc was out of the picture no? Cause Xeroc's soul is more powerful than the soul of rebirth right?

pliant ruin
#

. Actually this is public i guess so

#

Xeroc did not have anything to do with it

#

I guess i can say the funny now given what Stip said

#

I already knew this but wasn't sure if it was public but guess it is !

#

Anyways given that the God of Dogma was the seeming main driving force behind the sect/cult of gods that wanted Yharim to be their god-king

cloud ibex
#

Xeroc seems to just be doing their own thing

pliant ruin
#

And knowing that God of Dogma is apparently the main "core god" of hive mind

cloud ibex
#

Most people don’t seem to even know they exist at all

pliant ruin
#

yeah everything is this things fault

#

congratulations everyone everything that happens in calamity is because of the brain of chtulhu recolor. gg

deft comet
#

Yeah it makes sense the god above the rebirth power would not be in on making a god less powerful than them lead over them

cloud ibex
#

No I mean

#

Xeroc just doesn’t seem to have ever really involved themselves in whatever the hell is going on on the planet

pliant ruin
#

Xeroc is just kind of doing his own thing
He's not really seemingly working with anyone else and if he wanted to actively rule over others he'd have a very easy time doing so given hes comically strong

cloud ibex
#

If they did, someone other than Yharim would probably be aware of their existence

i considered a first person bestiary at first but decided that wouldn't be that practical given (refer to The Image)

If yharon's soul was consumer by someone they would become a god of recycling

#

Their ability will just be recycler risk of rain

#

Also, the soul of rebirth being the last one is important to the story; it's the reason there was a soul for Yharim to be given in the first place for him to reject, thus learning about the dragons and starting the crusade.

crisp saffron
#

Wait but when yharim entered the aether did yharon join him

wanton pendant
#

Does it matter?

crisp saffron
#

Or is he stuck in terraria

cloud ibex
#

You mean the Aerie?

wanton pendant
#

I'd imagine Yharon can go there whenever he pleases.

crisp saffron
mighty zenith
#

well it is the dragon aerie

#

would kinda suck if dragons couldnt enter and leave at will

wanton pendant
#

It's more unusual Yharim can get there. He found a way to enter.

crisp saffron
wanton pendant
#

We'll probably have to recreate his method.

#

It's not.

crisp saffron
#

Ok

split mortar
#

Theres no afterlife in calamity that we know of

wanton pendant
#

It's where Dragons live and Respawn.

#

Also by the sound of it where Zeratros' grave is, since that's what I assume 'Grave of the light' refers to.

crisp saffron
#

As long as yharon lives every dragon can return

wanton pendant
#

No.

#

Their souls are gone.

split mortar
wanton pendant
#

Reduced to atoms.

split mortar
#

So only yharon is left

crisp saffron
#

So without auric souls they can't return

wanton pendant
#

Yes.

split mortar
#

Yeah the soul gets consumed in god ascension

#

No more soul to bring back

crisp saffron
#

So the dragon itself doesn't exist anymore

#

Damn

split mortar
#

Yup effectively

wanton pendant
#

Most things don't exist if you eat their soul yes.

crisp saffron
#

There arent even any bodies tho

split mortar
#

Yeah corpses rotted away

And their magic bones likely used in all manner of rituals by weirdos.

Nah the dragon cult loves dragons.

#

They'd make shrines to their bones.

crisp saffron
#

But wouldnt they try to revive a dragon

wanton pendant
#

They do.

#

Don't know how.

crisp saffron
#

I think bones would be a catalyst

wanton pendant
#

The dragon souls are all gone.

#

But they might not know that, or care even.

#

They're lunatics, after all.

#

At least they got the Phantasmal Dragon...

crisp saffron
#

So does calamity negate the fact that they worship cthulu in base terraria

wanton pendant
#

Yes.

#

It's the opposite in Calamity.

crisp saffron
#

I see

wanton pendant
#

Also Moon Lord isn't Cthulhu in Calamity.

crisp saffron
#

Oh ok

#

Its funny how terraria decides to add a bit of lore into the game just to find out a mod changed everything

wanton pendant
#

Different continuity.

crisp saffron
#

Yeah

Xeroc is the most powerful living thing in the lore.

Are interludes some sort of messages from yharim? Or is it just a cool ass soundtrack to build up depth and importance of the killed foe?

icy veldt
#

I don't think Yharim is much of a musician

split mortar
#

Afaik just cool soundtrack
The lore whispers from the bosses are messages from yharim

mighty zenith
#

they weren't originally made to be part of the mod so

wanton pendant

It's called hype moments and aura.

#

Obviously Yharim will be playing his own theme song on an organ when we reach him.

We dunno

I was thinking there'd be one deity of the violent aspect of war, and another deity of the strategic aspect of it

cloud ibex

doubtful

#

feel like their domains would probably end up being too similar

limpid saddle
#

Yeah it'd be weird if there were 'sub-domains'

#

Especially given the transmutive process of an Auric Soul becoming a God Soul

#

The one dragon/god embodies the entire concept, not just bits & pieces of it

#

Think about how weird it would be if the Dragon of Storms had a cousin who was the Dragon of Typhoons or something

icy veldt
#

Fair enough. It made sense for historical pantheons like those of the Greeks and Romans, because those had a lot of gods, but I suppose it wouldn't really fit here

it is if you're not a coward

There should be a God of Bees to give Yharim a dilemma.

(The answer is kill.)

#

So if there was a God of Dogma, did he get his soul from the Dragon of Conviction or something?

split mortar
#

Idk
Dont think the info public

wanton pendant
#

Now I'm imagining the God of War got his from the Dragon of Violence.

#

Which I feel wouldn't have been the nicest chap.

icy veldt

God of War got his Auric soul from the Dragon of Petty Drama, which is arguably an improvement

Fair, but that doesn't make weaponising bees a symptom of autism.

#

Idk weaponising autism is a phrase i have heard

It’s a symptom of MSS, but not autism

wanton pendant

Not what that means.

#

What's MSS?
I'm sure I've heard of MS.

faint totem

#

Ohh, then yes.

#

That's like, on page 4 of the diagnostic list.

#

It's a long list.

faint totem
#

I literally googled MSS just to make sure that it wasn’t an actual acronym for a mental disorder. All I found was something about networking

wanton pendant

Yeah, because MS is Multiple sclerosis, which has nothing to do with nuclear armed bees.

Thats probably how he justified it to himself

wanton pendant
#

Like sure, she obeys him, is reliant on him for her needs, would implicitly be hunted down if she were to ever leave, but she doesn't have any chains so it's fine.

hoary cape
#

Yharim doesn't support slavery. This makes him a great guy clueless

#

Just ignore his hundreds of crimes

wanton pendant
#

Exactly, he doesn't force anyone to work for him, it's just leaving him is on pain of death.

mighty zenith
#

its not slavery if you give them the illusion of choice

#

😊

hoary cape
#

Does yharim pay his people 🤔

mighty zenith
#

most likely yeah

wanton pendant
#

I'd assume so.

mighty zenith
#

he's a terrible person but he's also a smart leader

#

at least for the masses

wanton pendant
#

He studied military history, he knows about keeping morale up.

#

And what better way to get an enthusiastic army then a heavy salary.

#

That and defection equals death.

split mortar
icy veldt
# hoary cape Does yharim pay his people 🤔

Where did Yharim get his funding for the early part of his crusade, before he started taxing anyone? He probably looted his early conquests, but was he also financed by any wealthy individuals?

wanton pendant
#

I'd assume at the start his followers joined due to zeal.

#

Later he began paying after esablishing a power base.

split mortar
#

Azafure was among the first to join no?

wanton pendant
#

Which would become his empire.

icy veldt
#

Azafure was probably pretty wealthy, just from its manufacturing industry

wanton pendant
#

They were arming him.

icy veldt
#

Well yeah they were doing that too

wanton pendant
#

It's possible they sold them to him, it's possible they were a gift.

#

But also likely a bunch of Azafurian's joined the crusade as they believed in the cause and didn't care for pay at first.

icy veldt
#

Azafure gave Yharim a Loyal Customer Discount XD

wanton pendant
#

Once he had a proper realm going, he'd have had to esablish a payroll. Would also allow him to expand the army.

#

Thus snowballing.

#

Eventually, he practically rules the world, and everyone left is powerless to do more then defend their borders.

Yeah, which is just horrifying

wanton pendant

(I'm being a bit hyperbolic, but you get the idea.)

#

I get the impression Ilmeris was a VERY long hold out.

#

And Calamitas was just a desperation move to finally beat them.

icy veldt
#

Seems like Yharim also had a bit of Genghis Khan in him

wanton pendant
#

Which worked very well.

#

He also gives me a strong Napoleon impression, if that means anything.

Ilmeris was close to azafure yet only fell once calamitas wiped the country out

icy veldt

Just a bit, though

wanton pendant
#

Yeah, like, they were probably a powerhouse in their own right.

#

It's just that they weren't expansionist.

icy veldt
wanton pendant
#

If they were they'd probably be able to give Yharim a run for his money.

wanton pendant
icy veldt
#

True. Also Napoleon lived out the rest of his days in exile at St. Helena, the 1800's equivalent of a modern-day turnpike rest stop

wanton pendant
#

But like, the home of two gods, relatively close to one of Yharim's earliest and closest allies surviving right up to the dying decades of the crusade, you'd assume they were obscenely good at defence.

#

And based on bestiary entries I've seen, isolationist.

#

OH I JUST HAD A GAME THEORY: Yharim financed the early parts of his crusade by selling fake Dragon Oil as a scam

heavy zenith
#

I got a question: In the underworld Lore Item it says that Azafure simply burned when Yharim refused to meet their wishes. But we know that Azafure was destroyed by Cal vs BrimE, was azafure destroyed more than once or am I misunderstanding this

somber wren
#

That might be an old lore item

cosmic zenith
#

Azafure was, in fact, destroyed by Cal vs Brimmy

plucky juniper
#

That reminds me.

It pains me to say this even in hindsight, but their own artisanry paved the downfall of the entire city.

#

What does this mean?

cosmic zenith
#

The more domineering of Gods wished for me to champion their cause, and rule their society from here.
Yet, surrounded by magma as it were, Azafure simply burned when their wishes were not met.

This is basically Yharim saying that Azafure burned when their (the "more domineering of Gods") wishes were not met

plucky juniper
#

Okay

#

Not sure if this is Yharim making up an enemy or there's a certain fellow out there who masterminded the whole downfall of Azafure

plucky juniper

The Brimstone Elemental's bestiary notably has the statement that "behind closed doors, there are whisperings that she was revived deliberately as part of a plot by opposing forces."

Are you sure Yharim isn't confusing the Devourer of Gods with the Gods themselves? I mean, given what he has to say about him later on, DoG may as well be as horrible as the Gods to Yharim.

did me speculating about azafure's economy and the alcohol culture of different cities just go unnoticed?

Not yet (I've only designed Vetrasyl and barely started Zeratros)
I did intend the Gluttony Dragon to be flightless, but Triangle asked to handle that Dragon's design

So one of the gods who brainwashed yharim also conspired to blow up azafure

Should've done it a lot sooner 😔

I pondered the possibility of Death being flightless, but I definitely need more thought put into it; also, I would imagine a couple other Sin Dragons would be flightless as well

funny to think about because it technically means that otonilou indirectly invented the exo mechs

I can imagine like

First tier of Yharim's remnants would be after Mechs.

Then after Moon Lord.

Then after Providence.

I'm pretty sure the current plan is for it to just be Post ML which i'm personally entirely fine with it because like
