Yeah but then they wouldn't bleed which isn't as metal.
And they'd probably need to get horn cuts.
Who here loves farming Ark Keratin💪
Horn cuts would be cute
Calamitas going to the Stylist to get her horns trimmed
Do you think horns had some kind of cultural importance?
maybe
Nezuko and calamitas ain't so different now that I think about it
I'd have to dig up my second message in this server to find all the questions I had.
Almost certainly
Humans like to make things that dont matter, matter
For better or worse...
Cal's horns are cute, so they matter to me 🥺
xeroc will barely understand this one 
he can't possibly remember doing it
Do you think Yharim colonized anyone?
doubt
just
obliterated
the one good trait he has is that he doesn't wanna directly take one's freedom
he'll be manipulative, he'll destroy those he hates
Only indirectly
but not take their freedom like that
yea
since
killing and manipulating is taking freedom away in forms
but
Like Calamitas very much had her freedom taken, but she totally wasn't a slave, legally.
yea
His men could leave whenever they wanted, on pain of death.
either manipulation, or
you're free to do this and im to do this
-kills you brutally-
He wouldn't have someone in physical chains.
Chains of any other nature are fair game.
it's either emotional chains or beats you to death
I'd argue not wanting to die is an emotional chain.
Fear of death is an emotion 🤔
dw youll be free soon :3
Remove yharims spinal fluid
He replaced that with testosterone too.
remove melon gun's melon fluid
auric testo
chains you say .
What the fuck
What?
arkveld monster hunter
there's more auric testo than blood in yharim's bloodstream
also removing melon gun's gun powder
or should I say auricstream
Auric piss stream
real
So I'm wondering, Calamitas is supposed to be scared of Yharim, right, petrified of the guy. The thing is to my knowledge apart from him generally being strong and convincing her to do horrible things I'm not entirely sure there's a specific reason for her to be THAT scared. I feel like there was another event that we don't yet know about that would cement her as being terrified of him, rather then just deeply resenful.
im not sure if he'd petrify her anymore
we don't know how yharim acts when he's mad I think
or what he's capable of specifically
Aside from causing her emotional trauma, she might also be worried that he'll kill her just as he ordered her to kill Perm
but he would trigger a reaction for sure
after all
we did because our actions made her think of him
Like, that's true, but she should be well aware that she's strong herself. It's not like if he were to show up she'd be guaranteed dead.
and that reaction was going as far as to try and eradicate us
Your message is dated tomorrow.
what is even that
Anyway, my general theory was that Calamitas tried to say no to killing Permafrost, and the result of that is why she's so scared of him. But that's just a theory.
sukuna
I'm not falling for that.
but it is...
I am so clueless
jjk character
oh I see
talking about stuff and suddenly seeing references or mentions of media I know little about is interesting
I'm really specialized 
Is that Goku?
pensive
can he beat goku? (no.)
imaginary technique
nuclear bomb
Me when I portray Yharim as a seething soyjak and myself as the magnificent Cobson
oh no
...Can she eat him?
Survival mechanism.
lmfao
I mean, he's not a human, so, uh...
I love that calamitas plush
she looks so innocent and happy
Unrealistic
Give her a pet cat, that'll cheer her up!
I'm probably the only person in my country to have both plushes. Is there a lore reason for this?
Some fresh meat...
Noooooo!!!
What the FUCK
making melon gun more british (bad)
in the other hand yharon looks so grumpy and dissatisfied
Drinking tea tomorrow
Also unrealistic
Yharon should be happy at seeing all of the death and destruction that Yharim caused
replace it with synthetic gunpowder
the melon of theseus
Not having tea for a whole day? Can you survive that?
real
Replace melon gun's gunpowder with cocaine
It's 00:08 in Britain.
evil superman "my favorite...".jpg

Ultraman.
Fym an entire day i go sleep and then have it
But that would be today.
You said you'd have tea tomorrow.
And when you wake up, it should still be today.
Tomorrow is 24 hours away.
My brain doesnt care for your interpretation
That's what the British said when they created divorce.
in my time zone it's 5 hours away
Well, we're not in your timezone, nerd.
wild sentence for me to come back to in lore discussion
Am I wrong?
no
I've been destroyed like the moonlord death animation
lmfao
zucchi
that dounds italian 😨
Throwing the sphere at someone
indovina cosa
waterwraithgaming it is
jumpscare
Me when I'm walking with Calamitas to her new house, and she starts acting a bit jumpy because she senses Profaned magic
Me when I show Calamitas the inside of her new house and she looks at her new pet cat with a confused expression on her face
Calamitas when I tell her "That used to be the Profaned Goddess herself, but now she's a mere housepet"
Me when Calamitas tells me "That's a cat. She's not your pet, you are her pet. Also, wtf. You're weird"
not the avatar of emptiness big sphere attack
Fool, spheres are not my weakness.
real
Idfk what you are referencing and would like to not know
Why would she be jumpy she could suplex that dumb butterfly.
Why does Discord not acknowledge suplex as a word.
Not a butterfly anymore 
Whats with you and cat providence
It just makes sense to me. Provy is manipulative, worming her way into the minds of the weak-willed. Similarly, humans don't have pet cats, cats have pet humans. So it absolutely makes sense that Provy would take on a catlike appearance as one of her tactics for convincing people to serve her, before going back to rockterfly when she's done
Cats don't brainwash people. She should become a mindflaying abomination.
Like she is in Infernum.
Mmmmmm, they do, actually
Take your cat to a vet.
calamity wrath of the gods
It's hard to call it brainwashing, but it is some kind of manipulation.
Subtle brainwashing 😳
gaslighting
theory
xetoc stoner
evidence?
loves stones
sounds like leon (who is totslly a leon despite hid dismissions)
yhats my evidence
What is that spelling
do the dragons/their offshoots (old duke, folly, wyrm etc) have any explicit weaknesses beyond the ritual super killing them
beinmg stronger than em
im nto sure wat to say they arent like
pokemon
where they all tike 2x dmg from ice type attacks
cough elemental weaknesses
yea but u grouped all together
and
their elemental weaknes is based
on their environments n such
like
pigron is resistant to cold debuffs
yharon is weak to cold debuffs
byea i was thinking more like. vampires are weak to sun and superman has kryptonite so idk if i need to write around anything like that
true but uh
pokemon has also made some very questionable typing choices
e.g. the flower pokemon isn't grass type
also described a phoenix which is associated with fire
floreges?
neither of our names are pokemon
thankfully we're not pokemon
I
i think the idea iwth florgess is like
ohhh well the flower isnt part of the fairy so its not grass type
vro thats so dumb
florges
abilkity
vital sprit
hidden ability
insomnia
this man does not get sleep
i think delibird exists because they wanted to make a santa claus bird pokemon
whatever those words tsuki said are not in the bible
fuck you
i was sharing my plan for a cool and emotional climax and my friend rattles on about how "my oc has boundless feats so they could neg diff noxus" oh my god i dont careeee
im making him die earlier just for that
my cool roginal oc can kill your cool orignal oc!!!!!!
QUICK NAME ONE OF THE FOUR VANILLA CLASSES
mage
mleee
Thanks im indecisive
ha haha ha ha
I refuse to write rogue
ujust wrote it
Death
ui fucking iidot
I'm trying to think of a backstory for protag 3, who comes from an alternate timeline maybe I'm honestly unsure
Anyone got any ideas
Actually
I'm scrapping that
:steamhappy:
Alright honor restored
yea they're just gonna come from a tribe across the planet
That's good, that works well
my oc is pink yharim
I think i wanna spare anahita and the leviathan
Not that she was truly killable in the first place or that she even really deserves to be spared
I just think they’re neat
Found Team Aqua.
Wait no
my oc is purple yharim. they are boundless and neg diff ur oc
My new oc is magenta yharim and they could erase your oc in 37 picoseconds
my new new oc is black yharim who consumes all of the yharims to become omega rainbow yharim
I just made anti-yharim who has the special super hax technique of negating all yharims
this is like waiting for your mana to recharge
"nooo!!! you're supposed to obey me!"
the 6 color yharims:
I showered
showering??
a calamity player?????????????

(jokes aside, I see, makes sense)
idea i had for the climax w/yharim and noxus is that each 'phase' emphasizes a certain color
fight with yharim is shades of red, noxus is purple, then once yharim dies everything fades and becomes duller
not literally but the descriptions imply it
ts okarun vs evil eye
what
Great job, you cooked 
Now I'm curious what would you write about the modded fragments though 
Uhhh, it has atomic number 90
fascinating
it's better than uranium at producing nuclear power
So, if Terraria's sun isn't a normal sun, would Superman be nerfed if he was there?
Superman is a plant?
probably yeah
And if all the stars are mana, then there are no regular suns for him to get strength from. Superman would struggle in Calamity.
Some iterations of superman get a power boost from a yellow stars light or something iirc
That's all iterations. Unless there's some obscure one.
Yeah thats like the main thing
Kryptonians dont have powers until they get fueled by a yellow sun, usually earth’s
And since Terraria has a magic sun, and all the stars are made of mana, he's screwed.
Snyderman gets it from the earth’s gravity I think
But I don’t like to acknowledge him as Superman
Uh, he got his power from the sun too.
Wait how high is terrarias gravity?
Did he
Because when you factor how fast a day is, uh...
I thought there was a whole Thing about his powers possibly not working when the big fuck off space beam thing was increasing the planet’s gravity towards the end of the movie
Presumably just as fast as a day on earth
I didn't watch the movie, but I saw yesterday a screenshot from it where they explicitly say he gets power from the sun, like every other version.
I know, but in gameplay it's 24 minutes.
Would be really weird if days lasting 24 minutes was a thing that just never gets mentioned or elaborated upon ever
Still 24 hours no? The time just runs at 60 times faster so the player doesnt become an old person by the time of eoc i thought
And so the fall speed would being twice ours, but then you factor the time scale, not gravity is super slow.
I know it's a gameplay thing. I'm saying things like that aren't accurate to the in-universe versions. So time is faster and gravity is stronger for gameplay reasons.
So if the Terrarian falls at 37.5 tiles per second, but a second in game is one minute, that means they are falling at a speed of 0.625 tiles per second. I think it's safe to say that isn't accurate to the reality.
Theory: The Moon has some kind of anti-primordial light properties and somehow can actively make the world worse. It's somewhat kept in check by the light of the sun, but when the light of the sun can't reach it, such as during a Lunar Eclipse, the world gets more dangerous. This could also justify why Xeroc never simply finished off Moon Lord after becoming a god, the moon somehow repels them.
very interesting
'Cause I was thinking 'Why doesn't Xeroc kill Moon Lord after becoming a god, he seems like exactly the kind of threat they should be dealing with' so the obvious answer is the moon prevents this, somehow. And similarly, explains why Blood Moons are so dangerous, the protective light of the sun can't reach the moon, so it makes stuff worse. Moon's haunted.
noxus' final plan is to steal the moon
🔥
Clearly, Noxus is inside the moon, along with the entire Distortion.
the dragons thought the moonlord was simply sealed inside the moon,
in reality he just kinda got to hang out with noxus in the distortion for a while
chugging cosmilite or whatever it is they do in there
scrumptious
Is the moon made of cheese?
@pliant ruin explain your findings on the topic
yes
🔥
Found Wallace's account.
are yharon’s children canon in the lore currently?
How do you mean?
He has no mentioned children.
In any version of the lore to my memory.
i thought akato was his kid no?
Who?
the pet he drops
Aint that a dedicated item and thus not canon
That's not canon.
ah right didnt know, sorry
Yeah its a patreon item
Not canon
What inconvenience whar
ur good
just for clarification bc i'm already typing it: dedicated content and blatant references aren't canon, as well as crossover content and the seasonal moons
Ok, after looking, there apparently were 'sons of Yharon' from the dragon kindle staff, but that has long since been retconned.
oh right that
And two dedicated items involving a 'son of Yharon'.
i understand why the seasonal moons arent canon but idk smth abt that feels weird
The second 'son' isn't a dedicated item, but is instead a McDonalds reference.
santa isnt canon to calamity,,,,
So safe to say neither son is canon.
okie
Not that it matters a whole lot.
yea
Sons of Yharon have been through a lot by the looks of things.
That does not look like a organic creature
damn
Puberty hit him hard I guess?
edgelord teen phase
The guys basically just bone
I do wonder how auric souls and auric ore are related on an energy level
I've been wondering if auric ore is from the world soul, could it be theoretically used to make a new auric soul?
I doubt it'd be easily done
I doubt it since that could entail yharon could bring back another age of auric dragons slowly which
Goes against a big theme of the story im pretty sure
I mean
it does but I doubt even yharon could do it alone
that seems like something draedon would try to work on
also yharim does talk about the return of the age of the dragons
yeah what did he mean by that
if given the chance I'd imagine he would do anything to make another auric soul
I just presumed it means put yharon in charge of the world
But thats quite a bit shaky
Idk
yeah idt that's yharim's goal
personally I'm still of the opinion that at least some of the godly essence could be turned into something like an auric soul
at least for xeroc and silva since they perfectly ascended
I don't think all the energy of an auric soul could just vanish like that
The age of dragons and gods is over. The age of men has begun.
The age of melon gun and lea channel is over. The age of stone phone has begun.
I feel like yharim would at the very least try to filter all the essences forming the hallow, crimson, and corruption
making this my new status
I doubt tryna turn the godly essence into something like an auric soul would go poorly while it's all mixed like that
sounds like the uh
Wtfrick
oh god what is the name of those things
pilk
the cluster gems from steven universe
Clem.
Macaroni and chocolate, with a mug of hot cheese
clem clem
Clemitas
Who hurt you?
The god of dogma 
Time for a crusade I guess.
Yharim came back home from the Aerie and said "I'm not killing my cool new dragon friend! Look at this awesome dish that he taught me how to make!" and the two got sent directly into Hell's magma because that dish was macaroni and chocolate
Forget the genocide, racism, grooming, terrorism, treachery and so on, that's the worst thing he's done.
fabsol lore
Thank you Red Miku.
Miku is red neru
That's Yellow Miku.
what are you yapping about melon
miku is b lue mik
Brain became a slime and im fighting it via thoughts
Goodbye lore chat
Miku is Blue Miku.
So you're saying you Return To Slime?
dang
No im going to play rlcraft
Goodbye lore chat
There's a colonization joke in there somewhere.
doesn't he literally tell you
- random bullshit
That's what makes it stable.
Yeah it's literally infinite electricity.
*random bullshit that is cool
Exotic resonance is what causes sea prisms and exo prisms create energy endlessly
iirc
Otonilou was top tier for inventing infinite energy.
just exo prisms, not sea prisms
i mean dosen't draedon literally explain it
Then the fuck how sea prisms make energy
carving sea prisms makes them emit exotic resonance
Draedon just made it infinite faster.
otonilou magic
They're blessed.
fucking how
Science.
he tells you 
Exo Prisms emit a self-sustaining resonance of particles that is unlike any other phenomena I have observed. I dubbed this Exotic Resonance
Like
Guys
He literally says what it is
calamity fans cant read
guh
I can read and I get persecuted for it every day here.
I werent asking what exo resonance was
Why: A god said so.
How: God shenanigans.
Exotic Resonance is the Self-Sustaining Resonace of Particles that is found only in Exo Prisms and thus is not a thing Sea Prisms do
I wouldnt say making a new property (exotic resonance) is just amplifying the sea prisms properties
Draedon specifically refers to the thing the Exo Prisms do as Exotic Resonance
it is tho
they're called Exotic Resonance not Sea Prism Resonance
Presumably it's a side effect of however Draedon is over clocking the Prisms.
exotic resonance is just sea prism electricity amplified by microscopic electronic circuits carved into it
the indefinite mechanism comes from sea prisms
The Ilmeran crystals that you know as "Sea Prisms" are self-illuminating and provide a weak electric charge indefinitely, even when tapped by circuitry. Etching the crystals with conduction pathways at the molecular level and providing an initial energy impulse, not unlike igniting a newborn star, transforms them into a facsimile of the Exo Prisms you are familiar with.
Exo Prisms emit a self-sustaining resonance of particles that is unlike any other phenomena I have observed. I dubbed this Exotic Resonance, and it is the breakthrough that the rest of exotechnology is named for. Exotic resonance remains present no matter how much energy is drawn from it, amplifying the intrinsic properties of the Sea Prisms far beyond my expectations. The sheer abundance of energy produced via exotic resonance allows a sufficient quantity of Exo Prisms to power any device, no matter the size or complexity.
Infinite faster.
✅
they provide a weak but indefinite charge and are self-illuminating, which is effectively limitless energy
exo-prisms are enhanced, and i assume exotic resonance is basically an enhanced version of whichever process the sea prisms use for their indefinite charge
He uses Sea Prisms for his RGB lights.
true
i love how everyone here is forgetting the "breaks up matter" part of exotic resonance
is it relevant to which one of the 2 the limitless energy mechanism came from
The particles contained within Exotic Resonance are capable of breaking down nearby matter when exposed to enough external energy. You have already experienced this phenomenon whilst fighting against my machines. The power surges from the ongoing battle caused some of the Exo Prisms within to actuate, melting down some of the internal components into an unstable slurry of this so-called Miracle Matter. The altered resonance enhanced their attacks with a prismatic blight that disintegrates anything, organic or otherwise.
for reference
uhh
It melts into even stronger stuff Exo Prims are just weird.
yes
exotic resonance can break down matter and meld it back, creating miracle matter
miracle blight must fucking hurt
It'd probably feel like your flesh is turning necrotic.
ionizing radiation but prolly worse and much faster acting
The easier part to explain is why it exists narratively; to parallel Calamitas having a similarly inexplicable source of power.
whos silva
Goddess of Life.
... that, uh, makes sense
im watching a lore video right now
He did as well as he could
Lore videos are at high risk of being outdated or erronous.
The fact that you're asking us rather then the video explaining it is a good sign it might not be that great.
out of curiosity, when was the video made
I am. 7 minutes in
oof
a month ago
oh
out of like an hour
is it any good
wouldn't know
Silva did do something then.
She got thrown into the abyss.
She got out.
Then Yharim threw her back in.
she also kicked out anahita/ the water elemental
is anahita evil orr like
only so far as any other elemental is
Well she’s kind of a bastard on account of being an elemental
so like not great but i wouldn't go so far as evil
She wants to flood the earth.
Which is named Terraria.
team aqua would love her
second time this joke has been made recently btw
😭
The last time was by me.
about me
Exactly.
Brimstone Elemental was responsible for Azafure getting destroyed, what about the other elementals?
Earth Elemental is the Sand Elemental. Air Elemental is the Cloud Elemental.
afaik they haven't really done much
You know the others by now.
Air and sand just kinda exist
Anahita been moved around a bunch
Silva is more relevant
like brimmy was really the only one to fuck major shit up
Yes.
because yharim is a bitch ass motherfucker
He threw my elemental into the ocean!
I don't get Yharim's motives
kill gods
kill all gods
that is it
Some gods are bad and therefore all are bad
He's a fanatic.
you get it
then kill anyone who ever thought a god was chill
He's not meant to make sense. He's irrational.
that's the gist of it
ahuh
is that what Skeletron Prime is about?
what
I dunno
Civilian muncher.
Yeah close enough
His morals are contradictory, his motive questionable, his methods abhorrent. Yharim is not a good guy.
On the topic of elementals, we know that to kill one you need to destroy their element, but does this extend only to terraria planet or also outer space? For example astrum deus should count as Nature
Oh dang the topic was left behind
Yes
astrum deus is just astrum deus
My goat
Good question, we don't know.
Prime is the souls of his dedicated civilian torching squad
he's not even truly related to the astral infection
He's an Astrum Deus infected with the infection.
Pretty sure their diet consists of that
No they eat dead stars so they don't become the infection.
Oh yeah
the terrarian is also a bad person but this is just a vanilla thing
Wonder how a mana diet works
It goes straight to the bones.
the terrarian afaik literally has no grander motive other than arbitrarily getting stronger
And in Vanilla Terrarian kills Cthulhu who was being resurrected by an evil cult.
so like idk
make an oc to project onto like the rest of us
Still not a good person
Literally saved the world.
Ehhh i mean it depends on how you see the lizhard temple
lih
In vanilla the Terrarian barely has lore because vanilla barely has lore
^
I'm already inserting other ocs into Terraria
ah perfect
Wow same you so real for that
the only terraria original is called Evil Johnman
Hey don't you have to be 13 to use Discord?
evil johnman is a closeted trans woman
and this is relevant how?
im 16
let her out
loreous
so true
holy shit
You are cheese
no shes a multiplayer character and another character is canonically a chaser (we are the brightest minds of our generation)
thats me. true

Hello Janithy Calamitous Modsworth.
hi
👁🗨 👁🗨
what the fuck is that emoji
Wtf is happening
What the hell are you even talking about?
idek anymore
me neither
It was your idea!
¯_(ツ)_/¯
its also generally my idea to fight most bosses with my friends and then we end up dying
is the devourer of gods a god?
nah
No.
he does devour them though
Huh
If he was a god Yharim would never work with him
How'd he get that strong
He ate gods.
How'd you get that strong
or yharim
or supreme calamitas
or like most of the insanely strong bosses and characters that aren't gods
Calamitas was doping Brimstone magic.
fair enough
Yharim replaced his blood with testosterone.
i remember dog has some fishing rod that says "the devourer of cods was once an eater of shoals" or something
And the Terrarian does meth 
That's a fishing rod.
Finally, some lore I can get behind.
Devourer of Gods is just fucked up alien worm from another dimension that has a severe superiority complex
Someone who ascends with an auric soul.
In the context of calamity, someone who absorbed an auric soul and ascended
No other definition.
gotcha
Nothing else qualifies.
No matter if it is mistaken for one or insists otherwise.
Which makes Astrum Deus a misnomer, as well as incorrect Latin
As some people are quick to point out.
I'd believe the word "God" might've been coined prior in the world of calamity
are most bosses gods
No.
Some are
Only, like, three. And one is a zombie.
But much like how "Gay" is a term nobody uses for Happy anymore and only uses for Homosexual the word God would've become so widely spread as Person Who Ascended With An Auric Soul that basically nobody would use it for other meanings
May i ask which three
Providence, Slime God, Ravager, Arguably Evil2
Slime God/Queen Slime, Providence, Ravager.
Evil2 don't really show right now though
I thought you said "prior to the world of calamity" implying that the word "god" existed before the Calamity mod
Because the bosses haven't gotten their due tier change and rework yet
SG, providence, ravager, evil2s might count depending on how you look at it
No Calamity made up the word.
It didn't
i love lore channel
we know our shit decently well but good luck stumbling into a convo actually talking about it
horrible example right now becuase we are surprisingly on track but still
I'd say Evil2 kind of counts in the same way ravager does tbh, albeit its arguable because they're amalgamations of different gods with a single "main" god at their core over ravager whos just. a single guy
i actually often find myself really annoyed by this to be honest 💔
this is incredibly valid
Don't worry I'll save the day by asking stupid questions
I mean, Ravager is mostly intact, evil2 are literally just gore pulled together by their shared power.
A bit of silliness is fine but when it overpowers the rest it just gets frustrating
Though i suppose maybe im just old.
go grandma
Ha, old.
What the hell is the link between yharim and yharon
it is god essence though so i'd personally count it
Hear that sis
Whats happening
Yharon saved Yharim's life.
Does terrarian need wxplaineinf.
yharon saved yharim and then they soul bonded or something
Yharon and Yharim are best friends more or less
No
And they share a bond.
besties
So Yharim doesn't get microwaved in his armour.
Yharon is the last auric dragon, Yharim is someone who's fighting to avenge the Auric Dragons, in his eyes
he should
i think he deserves to get auric springlocked
yes
We said this earlier.
Yharim the racist
That makes way more sense
They're the leads of the crusade, best friends and have a bond quite literally so strong that their souls are linked
Im not great at reading
tbf we just said he wanted to kill gods
not why
We get used to it.
i think
Well thats the only thing I read
He wants to kill all gods (All, regardless of the nuance or context of the Gods's ascencion or whether they're good people or not) because in his eyes they're All Bad
How common knowledge is the age of dragons
As i've said many times when explaining to others who are new at this
He's racist towards gods, lizard people and anyone who is religious.
apparently not very until yharim started spouting off about it
I'd assume the gods covered up the draconic hunts mostly, but people would likely be aware dragons existed.
Yharim's biggest failure is that he's so deeply ingrained into his own ideology he reaches a point where he deludes himself into fully believing hes right even when everyone tells him otherwise
Since the layman wouldn't know how to ascend.
even people outside of the heartlands?
Yharim's reach extended the world mostly.
I think the fact Dragons existed would probably be known the same way we know Dinosaurs existed but the details of it would be sparse
Considering that
alr
Dragons can't even speak the same language as most people do
Like, people knew there were dragons, but not why there aren't anymore.
I wonder how many even knw they were like
sapient beings
with societies and shit
Actually from the Gorthus QnA we got a while ago
Pretty sure it implies
Probably a bunch given chrysadia
That atleast a good few people thought they were just animals
And the gods likely covered their hunts up because that would make them look bad.
I mean
Dunno if i'd say that
It's generalizing a bit
Some definitely would tho
I never like reffering to either Dragons or Gods as a collective in this sort of context
Regardless, the only ones who know how to ascend are the gods and Yharim, most likely.
because it ends up generalizing
tbf if i heard that someone absorbed the immortal soul of another creature for nebulous reasons i would probably be pretty miffed about it
Especially if your new best friend was one of those creatures.
Yharim had like valid reasons to be angry then. I mean he's hearing from the Dragon who saved him about how Gods killed all his people and he was almost killed by likely the only gods he had experiences with at the time, which were, well
scumbags
The problem comes down to him never learning and being stuck in that mindset since then
when the devourer eats a god does the auric soul just. disappear
Gods don't have auric souls.
Too slow.
When a god absorbs an Auric soul their soul gets mixed with the Auric soul, essentially making a new thing
This is why once a god absorbs an auric soul
There's no going back for the dragon
Otherwise, when a god was killed, Yharon would've been able to just, revive the dragon
also it goes to noxus probably
probably
with our powers combined!
but if something were to absorb that soul it wouldn't be a god?
Noxus or distortion definitely
No, too unstable I guess.
God souls are like, the third form of the souls at that point.
i mean you kill a few gods in game sooo
like when yharon dies you get soul fragments but the rest give nothing really
The souls of gods are already far too unstable due to essentially being the result of compacting two souls in one, so when they die, as the other said, it just dissipates into divine essence. This divine essence can influence the enviroment around it and stuff like the evil biomes is created by that sort of thing
'World Soul' -> Auric Souls -> Godly Souls.
Not absorbing an auric soul so yeah wouldnt create something like a god
It would also just be bad for your mind to do so
nvm provi drops unholy essence so there's your answer i guess
they're seen like how monster hunter people see elder dragons n stuff imo
big mysthical animals that r rly powerful and smarter than most average animals but still kind of just animals for the most part
yeah checks out
And many of them weren't like super powerful, Yharon is indicated to be an exception.
tbf pokemon legendaries tend to be like
actually just gods
so i think the elder dragon comparison works better
It depends for Pokémon.
One of them is literally just God.
And then there's Diancie.
It depends yeah some of them like the birds are just
yep. really strong bird
Legendary Birds are literally just strong, rare birds.
but then you get stuff like the weather trio or the creation trio or arceus and its just
yep those are literally just gods
Sometimes they are mystical animal
Some times they are space itself
One of them's Satan.
im too hollow knight brained because i think strong videogame creature = a god
i meant how like
Well too bad. We have a definition.
the people in pokemon see zapdos or articuno or ho-oh
which is why i assumed most of the bosses were gods
Only like 3 are
(arguably 5!)
"whatever the slime god dragon was i forget"
gluttony
Gluttony.
gloombor
5?
I know queen slime
The other?
In what ways does consuming an auric soul fuck you up
evil2
Only one, you become a god.
i wasnt even counting queen slime
Oh right
More than that, you get Polterghasted real quick.
It dosen't really fuck you up directly
gloombort
You just ascend to godhood
well yeah, it's just slime god
So like polterghast
and that entails what
You get cool domain powers
If you consume more then 1
awesome
If you absorb like, three, you would become like Polterghast.
@cosmic zenith dragonbane
A horrific soulbased amalgamation.
what if i consumed 4
Sometimes your physical form gets distorted though as seen with Providence but that seems to have specific requirements
You would be so screwed.
Polterghast
Rather than just being a thing that always happens
dissolution probably
The auric soul you absorb changes the way you look but how much it changes varies
Wanna see what polterghast is like experiencing?
why did my internet die help
Silva is like. really not all that different after ascending
whats the perfect amount of auric souls to make the forever weed from that one joke comic
But then you have Slime God
Bascially it's like Undertale but instead of seven making you a god only one is needed and the more you do the more messed up you get.
slime god's transformation must've been body horror tbh
one from whatever nature dragon there was
Huhg
Instead of gender-fluid they're a gender-slime.
it is a god
all Gods used to be people
so it used to be human
You have to be sapient to do the ritual
imagine transforming into a ball
Could a dragon do the ritual?
imagine ur flesh melting into slime
Like Otonilou and Tyrian aren't humans but they're still people
Good question. Theoretically i suppose so but its never happened as far as we know
Sounds like it'd be fucked up though
that's 2 auric souls
imagine absorbing a whole ass auric soul just to become a prehardmode to early hardmode ball
Theoretically probablt but never happened or was even tried
do we know that
*god
The dragon would probably not fare well.
i hate this idea so much actually
Probably, no reason why he couldn't.
id assume so
Unless him being from another dimension makes this work weird.
Yeah like i think theoretically he could
Unless his anatomy is so fucked up that he like
dosen't have a soul or something
it'd probably work and now im terrified
which ok to be fair
Werent the writers against adding a auric dragon that ascended at some point
Relating to frost and the dukes
yeah i can see that
Weren't you told to not use random one off dev statements as if they were completely factual
😊
Oh, yeah, I remember now.
They said they wouldn't add that because it would be so screwed up.
A dragon attacking another dragon would be a massive taboo.
no...
this was for an addon
So it likely never happened.
do u need a soul for the ritual
thats been in the graveyard
I mean, most gods had their soul merged with the auric soul to become something new.
So probably?
It fuses your soul and the dragons so i would imagine so
I mean seemingly so
The entire concept is that the auric soul merges with your own
Unless you do it the secret special way.
why r u using this emote more often
Can someone not be joyous?
No. Not allowed
If something without a soul entirely does it i imagine it either means it just dosen't work or something entirely separate from the usual divine ascencion would happen
its for when im being evil usually
😔
That's why your dreams of catgirls will go unfulfilled.
If you do it without a soul what happens
Theoretically
.
no idea
We don't know.
We don't know yeah
Yeah that adds up i felt a passive aggressive vibe from the emote
Yeah that was the intention
I wanna hear theories and headcanons
Since that's a theoretical on an intentionally obscure fictional process.
I don't think headcanon means what you think it means.
i dont think ive ever seen this emoji used genuinely
why is cheese being more passive aggressive :<
its always been passive agressive
In terraria
dragon absorbs you
im like this to melon all the time
were worsties
i can fix her
pensive
pensive
Evisnep
That's what happens to the British.
I have so many questions about lore
We know.
Thats fine
go my weird potato creature
Why is it a water gun?
Because violence or something
Because you are water
You're made of circuits now
good luck surviving that
How the hell does Yharim actually talk to you
Ah
Like. how do the whispers... exist
Magic rock.
good question
Well basically the current method isn't actually the final one
Like. Lore items? Yeah they're being blown up
He has a Gossip Stone.
How make magic rocks
With whats in game afaik its just psychic brain blasting
This isn't guaranteed tro come but
Does it matter?
Lore developers have plans that are likely to come
Maybe I want magic rock
You'll find one.
i sound like a caveman
About you basically being able to find a funny little magic stone, that used to be a communication device a long, long time ago
Yes
Few people have many of 'em left, and Yharim would be one of the ones that do
Basically it's just the Gossip Stone from Wind Waker.
And by finding that stone, you coincidentally establish a communication link with him
I assume the labs are Draedon's?
ye
dont really know his deal though
Draedon wants to do science, at any cost.
weird random robot guy with dubious origins
Snail
Glad0s if she was slightly less fucked up
is anyone in Calamity a good person
He's pro-slavery, pro-pollution, pro-murder, so long as it means he's doing science.
maybe
me
Calamitas.
yeah fair actually
I don't know her deal either to be honest
well that depends tbh
child soldier
and he teamed up with yharim to do god science i guess
is something awful ur manipulated into doing a permanent stain on ur record?
Permafrost was with Yharim for like 90 years Calamitas left after 3 he should have figured it out by then.
Calamitas nowadays is just kinda introverted and traumatised of yharim afaik
No to do war science.
doesn't automatically make you a bad person forever and ever
maybe
The only person who won't forgive Calamitas is Calamitas.
maybe legally but idk about calamity's justice system
There isn't one anymore
It's been reduced to rubble.
Well
There isnt one cause yharim killed most governments
justice barely exists in the first place in calamity
prrrrrrrrrrrobably not true tbh
Maybe [insert playername here] should make one
Calamitas lives in a cave.
boring
Wow, ok, why won't you forgive her for being groomed?
Insertplayernamehere should make an authoritarian government
....?
^
why r u singling me out i dont even exist in the cal world
I'm making a joke implying you won't forgive her.
Just say the terrarian for the player character
dawg if someone was abused into war crimes i dont think id blame them
absolutely
Probably not, but if you did...
insertplayernamehere is funnier
my headcanon is final
I mean i think some people won't forgive hjer still
mhm
I do personally but like some definitely wont
There's alot of good people in the lore of calamity though its just that you asked about yharim and draedon specifically and those are like
Calamitas not forgiving Calamitas is certainly like, one of the important parts of her story.
i forgive her (idk exactly what she did
literally John Main Villain and John Morally Dubious Secondary Antagonist
Nuked Italy.
There's more good people than there's bad people gonna be real
and many more at least
true tbh
Statis
Braelor
Silva
Xeroc
They all seemingly chill
Moon lord is just. some powerful dude in calamity?
Amidias, Permafrost, Calamitas, Statis, Braelor, Silva, Agnus, Otonilou
True, but most of them will be ordinary people trying to live their lives. Heroes have been in short supply since Yharim's crusade
Tried to destroy the world.
The ones i can remember of the top of my head
But yes.
Vetrasyl too
Agnus is very much dead.
space squid yeah
Vetrasyl was a pretty good guy from what i remember
We dunno the guy just appeared and nearly killed an era
Agnus is in fact dead but he was a good guy
i recognise 3 of these names
As for bad guys there's like
Same with Otonilou.
Yharim. Draedon (Kind Of. Complicated), Devourer, Providence, Yharon
@supple storm hello you
Evil 2:
Braelor and Statis are gay, and were banished to the shadow realm.
