maybe cal is just a magic sponge by nature
literally just this image
TRUE
and calclone copied that
The idea that she's just biologically inclined to absorb magic by sheer chance is pretty funny.
Maybe Brimmy was feeling sad about her actions, but she didn't want to stop because of the sunk cost fallacy, so she gave some of her power to Cal so Cal could defeat her, as a form of atonement
there's a good meme on this about phones but i can't share it here unfortunately
We do believe the Brimstone suckling is a genetic feature
why not
Please rephrase.
Brimstone bone-draining 
Much better.
cause it would break rules
this is the worst explanation for these events i've heard
well
I know. I was joking
rule (singular)
Calamitas accidentally breathed in all the pollution fumes at once and became Super Sulphur form.
ywah give power to the 10 yo child to stop you
The fuck happening here
She was at least 13, don't be silly.
people are questioning calamitas draining brimstone elemental & how it happened with calclone
And I don't appreciate the idea of it being by 'suckling'.
incredible
I remain firmly in the camp that both incidents were complete accidents & not at all intentional but some seem inclined to disagree
I'm saying we don't know.
xzier I will rot your brain
brain sucker
Two attempts at lore that got brainrotted 💔
too late 😎
13 year-old calamitas jumping o n brimmy like a feral dog & chewing on their skull to absorb the brimstone magic
I... guess that's better.
Does she have a skeleton?
Since, you know, being an embodiment of heat and sulphur?
she probably will in the resprite
given the direction is 'banshee' one can assume she will be skeletal in form
Cal and Brimmy should hug to forgive each other 🥺
- the scrapped hote sprite being skeletal
Unlikely.
- devs talking about an exposed skull
My point is that the visual direction is that there is a distinct skeletal figure
How many eyes will Brimmy have? Still just one?
most likely
I liked the idea of it being two eyes that fuse into one.
Makes them more inhuman.
i'm hoping for midra head brimmy but i think reb said she wants her to still have an eye
cause brimmy being a watcher of sorts is important
also the cyclops look is pretty classic for brimmy
which does make me curious about what exactly she's doing
it's tied into her visual identity
Watching?
i mean i guess but that's not as important
lurien the watcher
What if she actually is remorseful?
If classicness was the priority, Calamitas would still be an eyeball.
Is the Bombnomicon canon?
Yeah but it's not like she had a rewrite that neccesaitated such a vast visual transformation
unlike Calamitas
I'm saying that they don't need to commit to using old design ideas because people are used to them.
If Brim has a watcher theme, then she should have two eyes and be holding a pair of binoculars
Maybe give her like a safari hat or something
And an Australian accent when speaking
Then she'd be the Bi-Watcher and she'd spy on gay people. Probably a homophobe, Calamitas was right to fight her.
I wonder what direction they'd take a new fight theme for brimmy
holy
peak
midra?
I can not tell what that is
guy with a flaming ball for a head
What if he saw wrong?
what
Saw wrong.
Does the Profaned Cult still exist, outside of the enemies we already encounter in-game?
What if there were a post-Providence Profaned Cult invasion, as vengeance for killing their goddess?
Legit question/idea, genuinely unrelated to anything feline
I mean, what do you consider part of the cult? Anything that is under Providence's influence, or the likes of the guardians who are willingly serving to some degree?
There is a profaned cult
Pretty sure the enemies are meant to be them trying to invade tho
Doesn't she have people who worship her?
Yeah
Darn, but I guess there could still be something like a vengeful massed invasion, maybe with a wider variety of enemies
Scorn Eater invasion.
One of the most worshipped due to preying on peoples hopelessness i think? Might be the voices tho
A WIDER variety, not a narrower variety!
Scorn Feaster, Scorn Consumer, Scorn Devourer, the possibilities are endless!
Blue super buffed scorn eaters
Yeah, maybe. That may be a significant factor, now that I think about it: people giving up on hope and signing up with Provi thinking something like "life is a failed experiment, time to clean up the mess"
I remember thinking about the idea of a Calamity Grand Strategy, and one of my ideas for an alt history path for Yharim would be the absolute most insane, nonsensical decision imaginable. Allying Providence.
Runner up for insane ideas was allying Silva.
Everything else was far more in character.
What crack were you on
I know my Terrarian would need to put more effort into fighting off Provi's whispers, since he's more vengeful/despair-prone than most
Providence infinity snake eternal flame canon
It was kind of a 'What if Yharim really decided he hated EVERYTHING and Providence seemed like someone who could help him make it happen'.
Endless flame*
Death
Also, given how character-driven it is, Calamity would better fit an RTS+RPG like the Dawn of War games, than a GSG like EU4/HoI4
Calamity hoi4 mod 
NO
Yes, just gotta figure out how to play HoI4.
Calamity DoW2 mod 👍
Hell
Sovereign canon in calamity mod when?? Markiplier
Other paths were like, don't betray anyone path, god-king path, both a betray the leaders and submit to them version of that one.
Add ebonia to calamity
What?
I will not elaborate
Lea is canon terrarian
The crusade is like 100 years the game would shit itself at like the 10–20 year mark already 🔥
assuming the game starts in 1887, the crusade lasted 106 years
unless there's some month fuckery going on
sounds right to me
enough time for yharim to get desperate and do things
and for draedon to progress in tech
thats like, a whole human life!
Well, I'd assume you can't count the time after Yharim leaves, which was like, a year about?
So, 106 years since it ended, but it probably ended last year.
for simplicity, i assume he left at the beginning of 1887 and the game starts a few months later
which is why i said this
ye
We know it's not been a full year since Draedon saw Yharim, but I was edging along the line of it was 1886 when he left, and thus the end of the crusade. It could be the same year, which makes it one hell of a year, and I think it pushes up against Birthday Theory.
Edit it in to what?
my timeline
That makes sense.
bro has a timeline
I think you three are all trying to find out the timeline lol
The one issue I have is that the year 1875 has a LOT of stuff happening, if I'm calculating things right.
I really need to play Shadow Of The Erdtree
timeline
I don't think it's that weird. History doesn't have a constant tempo
Some years are more eventful than others
https://youtu.be/7InXdCq_HiQ?si=fpRYCgH9mCjeDhE_
@wanton pendant
You can cross check your crusade timeline with mine or vice versa if you'd like. This only has stuff in the game right now. No dev confirmation stuff and whatnot
I need to remake it because my dumb ass forgot to put music in the background 💀
Might take me a bit to get through that hour long video.
A Calamity lore Youtube video maker... here?!?!?!
I only have 2 up, 1 of which needs to be remade LOL.
I wanna do a bestiary read through, an Ilmeris deep dive. I have a lot of ideas
Those may have to wait until after SSO, where both are being overhauled.
@wanton pendantyour fate will soon be decided
Oh, also, Terrarian has extremely little lore intentionally, as they're a self-insert. Terrarian will never have concrete lore past that, sans being bad at naming things. That's absolutely canon.
Yeah that's what I said.
Poll was a exact tie and idfk what to do with that
Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.
Nvm someone made a neutral positive
@wanton pendantyour fate has been decided
I gathered.
you will join us
A new one joins us
I wonder who that could be.
Terrarian for me is a femboy
Another one in the mold
A fate unavoidable
I have more than one Terrarian, in my own head-lore, because I like interpersonal character dynamics
Neat
I don't remember that part of DMC5.
How very, very interesting.
A fate escaped
You were once in it
A fate escaped is a fate escaped
The Babakonga stands unyielding
The Babakonga dreams of a world clear of mold and full of hope
The Babakonga dreams of a world unlike ours
The fate happened and passed you had not escaped it
omnibus
actually a street
omnibus
A fate escaped is a fate escaped
Dative/ablative plural form of omnis
Egg why are you a bus
Omnis, omnes
Omnis, omnium
Omni, omnibus
Omnem, omnes
Omne, omnibus
omi
Omne, omnia
Omnis, omnium
Omni, omnibus
Omne, omnia
Omne, omnibus
☹️
I declined 
Omni do you know what avitus is on about
can we please not do this
It's the Latin declension pattern of omnis
me i think
True
I need to wake up early
Calamity lore needs its own conlangs
like 6 hours smth
Wake up shower play stuff and silk song at 3pm
Whole ass conlangs with their own pronunciation rules and grammar and inflection patterns and syntax and vocabulary and etymologies
Your wackass timezone is wack
Wake up go hospital see if my immune system is still fodder
its literally their timezone too
Oh good luck with that
Lmao
I look away for like ten minutes what happened?
Omni will goku be able to solo your immune system or not
hi there
Hello.
The Latin word for "hello" has separate forms for singular and plural: salvē and salvēte, respectively
what
There are languages where there's a different hello for a response to a hello.
i had to learn an amount of latin for biology
Probably for cadavers, given it's a dead language.
You're a dead, uhhh, beverage! Ha!!!
Yay?
No im strong
id win
Anyway, I think it'd be cool if the lore had its own fully-developed conlangs
its cuz a lot of anatomical terms are based in latin
conlangs r cool but complex
(I know, it's a pun.)
genuinely easier to learn latin to remember the content
fall into the sun
it's fine not having them or having them be partially developed
As cool as making a fictional language would be, for the love of God please don't add a fictional language to learn for Calamity.
It makes me sad! 
I can't learn languages it would make it so much harder.
Well you wouldn't have to learn it! It'd just be cool flavor content
Sadavitus
Sadvitus
I believe
Brapvitus, meanwhile, is me when I fart
Binary.
Beep beep boop boop
nop
Blorpl zop
What did you say about my mother!?
Norway
like a computer language
but super complex
so no one can hack his stuff unless he wants u to
Draedon probably uses an efficient tokenization/encoding scheme to store knowledge
I mean, 'unhackable' is kinda impossible, no matter how good you are. But good luck hacking Draedon.
terraria world kinda stupid technologically
compared to draedrae
Like "Calamitas is sad right now" would be represented as something like {person.Calamitas} {emotion.sad} {timestamp.now} but in the form of binary tokens or IDs
nerd ?
tough
[id:C-WitchA em:Melancholy dt:1875-1887]
{person: Providence the Profaned Goddess} {physShape <- catgirl} {ts = 1887.11.20} 
Alright, I'll stop
Please do
I concur.
With the Draedon thing, not the Provy catgirl thing
provi

Does this make the Guardians Provles?
proxy
Provi's behind seven proxies. Good luck finding her!
what’s the current tech level of the calamity world (also does draedon casually have technology 200 years ahead of everyone else)
Very high, realistically.
Early industrial revolution, before Draedon
More than 200
Draedon's tech is like 400-600 years ahead
like.. half a millennium level?
he has like infinite energy
Yep!
Draedon did have people helping him, so his tech may have spread, although he's obviously ahead by a lot.
some people have medieval spears and crossbows, some people have laser guns
it's all over the place
there isn't a single level
Before Draedon got involved the people seemed to be at around the industrial revolution in terms of technology
As well as looting less-important stuff
everyone knows if u make a bow out of a weird metal its stronger than a gun
And draedon is WAY ahead of even us irl
yeah he has drones that can scan an entire planet
just take over the world gang
And make a robot Utopia.
A bit like a robotical Provykin
ultron knows everythingg
how would that help him progress science
You can stop.
Can you stop
i think controlling the world would definitely make it easier
think about it irl
Draedon wants to observe and research to expand his knowledge
No, it would affect the object of his research
The bit might’ve been funny the first like three times but at this point it’s just getting kinda weird
truman show
Do nature documentaries (sans those made by Disney) script the wildlife?
truman show
That wouldn't really be controlling the world
if everyones in it
Truman Show is not an accurate portrayal of anthropology.
Okay, so if Draedon controls the world to research it, which parts of it would he be controlling?
Sounds like a waste of resources to micro-manage everything when he could be going to space.
exactly this is why ultron is cooler
???
cuz he goes to space
Which is also part of Draedon's goal
man thats true
Things take time. They don't happen instantaneously
Is Truman the true man?
yes
im pretty sure the exo mechs are just capable of going into space
Space's Haunted.
And, how do you know that?
fucking look at them
Because of their appearances, and that's it?
Not exactly the most ergonomic space ships I've seen.
hi
Also, they probably aren't equipped for what Draedon wants to do in space
i dont think that matters
Getting to space is one thing. Doing stuff in space is another.
just like swap out apollos laser for a drill
I don't think the super weapons of war are doing much for space.
Wouldn't it make more sense to build a specialized drill robot rather then retrofitting your super god killer robot?
thanatos could fuck up an asteroid
Also, they're probably a bit too expensive to mass produce.
I mean
depends on how they're used
How fast do you think Sea Prisms grow?
like you can terraform planets to some degree by shooting it with a laser
Except Draedon would need his manufacturing infrastructure to make stuff with the resources his robots mine
I think Draedon can stagger the growth of multiple sea prisms to constantly have output
whats he been doingg
Growing them? I'd presume it takes a lot to make the Exo Mechs.
draedon might be stupidest smart robot
They're probably the main bottleneck for Exo Tech, since they are reliant on processing a very specific resource. He could make the rest of the robots out of whatever he wanted, so long as it suited the purpose.
No doubt
yharim will retire from the aerie tomorrow in order to play silksong, we hope you understand this hard decision
His computer's storage space is full.
He might need another awkward visit to Draedon then
hey man my computer cant run it
'Yharim, this is Windows 97.'
draedons pc probably bulletproof
yharim got exotech bro
and has its own defense system
Holy crap, there's a Windows 97 in Calamity?!?!?!
Draedon gave him the DTX 5000009000000
you think hed tune his armor and forget to get the gaming pc
draedon just didnt mention it because they didnt want you asking for one
drae tracing
he knows he sent you a fucking shitty ass codebreaker
LOL Codebreaker got at least 1 core
He doesn't want you getting distracted from killing Yharim and making all of the societal changes that he wants to study
codebreaker running off hopes and dreams
dawg codebreaker not even a proper led displa y
'Terrarian, the schematics clearly specified an 8k monitor, yet this thing displays in one colour! What did you use to make this?'
Shit couldn't even run roblox ong
wire
It's like the one device in the world that can't run Doom
my cat can run doom
See?
Can we do doom 64 in Terraria Calamity
thiss
dog the fuck you talking abotu you had me killing dog for a fucking cooling cell like this shitty ass processor needs it like bitch all it does it decode your bullshit
ytou didnt even have to actually encode it dawg
we can't read fucking hdds with our mouths
'I can hear your fans from here! Why does it even have fans, I specifically said to use a water cooling system!'
Draedon encrypted it for fun
Love the idea of a Lihzard themed pc build. Bro got the power cell in there and everything
gpu fans :3
Yharim would hate it
He would💀
Draedon figured out fanless computers.
Yharim brings his gaming PC to Draedon for repairs and Draedon makes it Lihzahrd themed as a prank
He submerges them in cooking oil
Draedon got that open source pc. Motherboard on the shelf connected the gpu and shi
draedon is a pc
He's an IC (Impersonal Computer.)
We got Draedon pronouns before gta 6
Now I'm reminded of that what are your pronouns meme.
draedon won't be able to answer codebreaker calls tomorrow for the obvious reason
hes technically agender
but i dont think he cares at all
normalize using it/its pronouns for draedon
youre true
im going to start using sheher for draedo
truth roaring
Side story where moonlord wins when
he lends a hand to guide, guide says, "we did it brother..."
💔
and then they all get devoured by calamitas or whatever that big worm is called idfk
Then Yharon sends a message to his master, saying something is going on in this world
and so the dragons died, and so did the humans, and the fish, and the plants. eventually, even the sand, air, brimstone and water had all left, and there was nothing but ruin
well ml would win thats it
Devourer of Gods. Calamitas is the Brimstone Witch you fight after beating Yharon
Sounds kinda like the plot of Embers 
Cei did side story where provi won and it was cool
Embers
It made me sad when I read it 
What did tyrian eat
krill, prawns and other small crustaceans
Do gods even need to eat food?
Providence is a lot more interesting as a character than ML
does ml even have a character 
killing things and wanting power maybe wdk
moonlord's personality is being a silly little prankster (the prank is invading planets)
can someone send the thing of agnus again
oh my god bruh
is it calart
there's a couple few servers there xzier ;u;
which one's the one that link leads to?
yes
i saw it
calart
thank you! ^u^
blep
tryna think of the calamitas fight for a story, which works better
- calamitas is abt to kill the terrarian (prevent yharim 2.0) but after seeing something (still undecided) they spare them
- just what happens ingame (could/about to kill them, chooses to spare them and welcome them to town)
also does xeroc's sigil have any distinct color or is it just white
latter
mkay
I need to know every single enemy or at least boss that comes from space or the sky islands
Harpy
Wyvern
That sun fish guy
That Martian thingy
Cloud elemental
I think that's it?
Storm weaver I guess
storm weaver doesn't originate from the sky
Just generically lore wise, cause I’m pretty sure the sentinels are from space with dog
but deus is from space
they're from the distortion
None of them are from space
not space
They're from another dimension
the only actual space boss is astrum deus
If you mean ones that are actually from space or the sky in lore, then:
so my only materials the entire run is aerialite, astral bars, and exo prisms
dragonfolly is almost definitely being rethemed to be a sky boss in a future update
so you could count that
how fun…
what run????
Sky:
Harpy
Wyvern
Cloud elemental
Sun fish guy
Space:
All the martians
All the astral enemies (kind of)
Astrum Deus
also exo prisms aren't from space
Sky/Space weaponry and armors only
they're from the sunken sea
Draedon is the cosmic engineer
old lore
Ok. Thats not a remotely reasonable run
No he's not
draedon was built in terraria
so the title is fuck all?
The lore was rewritten like 3 years ago
ML also came from space i think but we don't really know much about him so he might not actually be from space
not canon anymore
okay so just aerialite and astral
the title is infernum
Anything not in the base calamity mod right now is wrong
which was based on older lore
Oh right
boss title but not everyone is literate
infernum isn't canon
The pillars and moon lord and everything related to them are from space
And yeah. Nothing from infernum is canon
that's not explicitly confirmed iirc
so my only gear is aerialite, then astral bosses, then luminite
exodium is from space
well he's called the "abomination from beyond the stars" isn't he
that's pretty space coded
SCal with moonlord gear is gonna be fun
It would be very bizarre if it wasn't
he also came from the crack in the sky
so conflicting information
like i said we don't actually know if he originates from space but space seems to be the direction he came from as he first invaded terraria
that's true yes
You can have Star fury too, and perhaps various space themed items that aren't necessarily from there
Oh, and there's a rogue armor for early hardmode from the astral infection
Well luminite is used to craft a void monolith
so that would mean I probably couldn’t use Luminite if he is from the void
this lore is all over this place
It's kinda not
Everything added by the calamity mod is canon, everything from anywhere else, including vanilla, isn't
Vanilla items are mostly canon but the lore behind them is changed
My only armors are meteorite, titan heart, astral, luminite, and that’s basically where everything stops
Sounds like it
if some dude can beat SCal with a wooden bow I gotta be able to beat scal with star wrath
if you're patient probably
just kill me💔
Ark of the cosmos isn't from space but is space themed
It was made on terraria but uses space powers
I mean I could use zenith since it needs star wrath and star fury but idk
Zenith is worse anyways I think
isnt zenith like the best weapon for basecal exos
I can say it's decent
But not strong
yeah it is???
im pretty sure you could get like sub 3:00 with a glassy loadout instead of a tester loadout
Zenith is A (according to weapon tier doc)
Also it felt weak to me so i used dragon pow or something else instead
-# or maybe my loadout is just that bad
his title is now the enigmatic engineer
is that fr
Someone did beat SCal with a wooden bow I’m pretty sure yes
Slowly
fair enough
The fact that someone already did this...
jesus christ terraria players are like piano players
Imagine being calamitas and you finally come face to face with the Terrarian
and they're wielding a freaking basic wood bow
and they beat you with sheer force of will
Lore explanation: She had to respect the hustle.
Still waiting for SCal vs Lawnmover
i wonder what Dragon Asriel Dreemurr consumed in order to have become the God of Hyperdeath..
dragon of death
duh
Dragon of The End.
Origin Dragon
Dragon of Chara Making People Do Things.

Dead? So is Chara.
Why would chara make yharim do the crusades?
Are they stupid?
dragon of ultrakill
Why would chara make yharim kill those civilians
It was just a prank.
wait so are post-yharon weapons tiered as an average of their performance on exos and scal?
yeah
a weapon that does pretty good on exos but amazingly on scal will be pretty high
can draedon with prep time beat batman with prep time
no question
For sure
i mean
it depends on the batman
dc has like 500000 different continuities some batmans could probably solo the entirety of calamity for all i know
That isn't even vanilla lore it's just an assumption based of it being called the Void Monolith
There is no lore, vanilla or not, about moon lord coming from the Void
there isn't even a place called Void in either vanilla or calamity lore
(Do no take the name of items that literally 😭 )
Oh I know for sure that there’s uh
That one super super buff Batman
That’s like 7 feet tall
Absolute Batman I think
oh yeah that guy
hes cool but hes not that strong compared to some of the other ones
He could easily solo all pre hard mode bosses and most definitely some of the early HM bosses
like theres some batmans that can probably erase reality and shit idk man
dcs fucked up
marvels fucked up too
Most isn’t canon though
Absolute Batman isn’t, he’s an AU
what even is canon theres like 80000 different continuities 😭
The original main Batman series
Bruce Wayne, robin etc
Just the typical normal stuff
*thus
there is only one mainline continuity at a time
You saw nothing.
Shhhh....
Comic book lore is fucked yeah
Spider-Man vs. Calamitas, who wins the being broke competition?
which Spiderman
they team up and end up even more broke
Batman can beat xeroc with prep time
I can beat you without prep time
You think i could fix Providence?
Then your ashes will be reduced to ashes.
My ashes will get in someone's eyes no matter how reduced
Not if there is no one with eyes left.
Possibly
skong is definitely canon in clammy tea
she already has her lesbian polycule
No, not like that!
Calamitas is too broke to play.
I meant just like containing her essence in a weaker form, as a form of penance
But enough about that. Is the Moon Lord lactose intolerant?
Probably.
Yeah, it would prevent him from restoring his strength by eating the Moon's cheese
But also since he's some kind of space squid thing, he's unlikely to have developed the ability to digest lactose.
If he's ever swallowed an entire cow whole, then he's probably ingested some amount of lactose
I mean, all mammals produce milk.
I bet the Moon Lord drew crop circles during his first breaking-stuff-session on Terraria
But can we prove mammals exist in Calamity?
Someone call the devs.
Humans exist
Can we prove they are mammals in Calamity?
Are humans in Calamity mammals, or are they something else?
What if Calamity humans are actually fungi?
Humans are lizard people, obviously.
Actually, the lore contradicts that.

I'm gonna get Draedon to make a retrovirus that fixes the inability for humans to undergo mitosis
Yeah but, like, the whole human at once.
Mitosis is always at a cellular level
what if you were an amoeba 
Can we confirm mammals exist? For future reference?
Amoebas are cells dude
Why is this a question
Yes, there are mammals
Humans in the Cal universe are mammals
Alright, so, plan to beat Moon Lord.
yeah so if you were a big cell then all of you could mitosis
Feed him milk.
Yes, but good luck being a cell that size
i mean i can do it idk about you tho
Sure
You're question has been answered. They are mammals.
Milk is real, and Moon Lord shall die at its hand.
How is milk gonna kill ML
lactose intolerant
I mean, like, chances are he's lactose intolerant.
typical lore chat being lore chat 🔥
I doubt space squids drink milk.
Do you have any idea of the amount of milk you'd need to cause a deadly reaction
Moon Lord shits himself and then dies
On a being that size
Milk, or cheese?
There's also the question of how tf are you gonna get it to drink the milk
Feed the entire moon to the Moon Lord
Probably
If not exactly cows, an analogue
lethal injection
it'll work trust
I'm pretty sure injecting someone with milk is gonna suck even for lactose tolerants
Giant straw into a cup labelled 'Super Power Juice' that's actually filled with milk.
So the whole deep space mana and degenerating stars thing. How much mana we talking before that happens?
So like, stars aren't that big as far as I can tell.
Fallen Stars, to my knowledge, are very literal.
Like theoretically would a person be strong enough and have enough mana to be degenerated into astral infection
Let's assume the Astral Infection meteor is on the larger end.
Humans are too sapient.
They can resist the influence indefinetly.
But Embers mentions that some stars are similar in size to say, Providence.
But Astrum Deus dont try to eat Terraria and it has a whole biomes worth of it
So there's no way stars can be that small and still aggro Deus
Astrum Deus eats stars, not Terraria.
And Astrum Deus is only a young member of the species... probably.
Also, Astrum Deus is infected with the Astral Infection.
So it's actually protecting it.
Dei eat dying stars
The Deus we fight ingame was just young and unexperienced so it went for a star that was already far too rotten and had b een taken over by the infection
Causing it to be infectede
And hurling the infected star to terraria in a attempt to spread it further (Astral meteor
At least, that's Dreadon's theory, which is probably accurate.
yeah ^
So unless you have a better idea than Draedon, we're going with that.
my idea is taht deus did it WILLINGLY because its evil and hates yu specifically
fuck this 1 terrarian in particular
So then the Astrum Deus species must be able to differentiate between stars and planets affected by the Infection, unless Terraria is the only planet in the theoreticsl universe. Because planets are obviously not immune to the infection, but maybe they just dont gather mana in the same way stars do, allowing Astrum Deus(species) to not focus on them. I dont know man there's only so much you can really prove
Oh, other planets exist.
Astrum dei don't eat infection
But only one is known to be inhabited other than Terraria.
They eat stars
And that one's not doing so well.
Generally before said stars are infected
Which is why our astrum deus fucked up because it tried to eat a infected star
Which led to it. getting infected
I'm working on my creation video but there ain't that much to go into before the Draconic tbh
That part I think is intentionally vague, as it's basically pre-historic or something.
the most relevance i can see pre-draconic eras having would be on the world soul, how exactly dragons got the shards of it and the nature of the distortion
Speculation will definitely be had
Exactly
Elementals can be put here too, since we know they kind of just manifest out of nothing
The Abyss was made pre Draconic
I think the abyss just kinda exists from some supernatural reason I can't remember.
I don't think
there's anything saying anything abt abyss being Made by anyone
as far as im aware its just
a natural formation lol
Made naturally
I mean, Yharim implies that it really shouldn't exist because of tectonics.
Bad wording on my part
'While there are many sightless crevasses in the deep sea, this one is a geological marvel.
It is located unsettlingly close to the shoreline. Somehow, even eons of tectonics could not seal or crush it.'
Coincidence?
Like, I know he's not a geologist, but like, it is kinda notable.
tbf he isn't completely off regardless of what he is
to my knowledge something like the abyss that close to the shore would collapse fast
Hence, it's supernatural.
I kinda wonder if the elementals are to blame for it even forming
to my knowledge all of them are represented in the abyss
prolly coincidence
What is on a beach?
What state of matter is coming from the toxic bubbles?
anahita and silva have direct influence bc obviously
i don't think you can attribute the existence of sand or the water cycle to the abyss specifically
Anahita and Silva: Obvious.
Sand: Beach.
Brimstone: Scoria.
Cloud: Abyss features air management mechanics.
is brimmy connected to scoria at all
Fire.
i mean the abyss being the elemental hub is a really cool idea, it just doesn't work right now
there is no fire
Just like Calamitas.
it's hot rock
And Brimstone represents heat and fire.
wait which calamitas
Does it matter?
Hey, look, lore chat!
literally this chat doesn't exist
I still don't buy that moon lord now is weak
he got OLD
so we shouldn't care about who killed him
moon lord is old and not at his full strength
He was 2nd strongest ever.
we killed him
We are the killer of Moon Lord.
Alot of shit happens in post moon lord
because we kill him
yes I know, we as in the upper echelon of bosses
Profaned guardians go after you and subsequently providence
Draedon starts taking more interest on you
okay who is cthulu in the lore though
because you beat moon lord way earlier than a lot of other boses
Alien
Fictional.
No there is no Chtulhu
Nope, wrong guy.
Chtulhu is a character in vanilla terraria but not in calamity
And Cthulhu isn't an alien either, he's some god thing. But not part of Calamity.
Because those have like entirely separate narratives
assumed they were talking about ml
is there no lore reason behind EoC then
there is
it's just not related to a character called Chtulhu
Same as BoC.
It's just called that because Lol Cool Name
he's just an Eye Guy i guess
Which isn't really unrealistic either because like
This sort of naming convention happens irl really often
Somehow this is the gods' fault.
DEVILS HOLE PUPFISH !!!
They grow out of crimson ground one day
fucking. SEA DEVIL!!!
and you look inside and its a tiny blue fish and a manta ray
If anything it's more fitting on EoC because atleast that one is actually a gross monster evil creature rather than just
some fish Lol
my thought is, your rise to power should have been stopped way earlier, and I dont see why bosses didn't recognize the existential criss that is you
How are they meant to know.
it's the weird bloody sphere that draedon decided to copy for some reason
That some guy would decide to become the second coming of Christ?
any boss who feels threatened by you dies instantly
If you don't win... well, something else would happen.
game progression baby
And that would be a different story.
calamity but. you die
The terrarian story is up to yo
Embers.
Around prehardmode you really aren't anything that special so none of the big figures really try doing anything because i mean, why would they
You're just one of many random dudes on the world
There's no reason why they'd suspect you
Late pre-hardmode you're like, a very impressive yet not exceedingly exceptional person.
post moonlord you are the special kid in the school
By Moon Lord you are one of the greats.
Yeah by post moon lord many of the big figures around the world take notice of you
so why did Yahorn didn't beat you earlier ?
By Providence you are near unrivalled by all but the most powerful beings to have ever lived.
like directly post moon lord
Because Yharon only went after you out of desperation
By the end, you are the second strongest mortal.
chatting with Yharim probably
Prove you're number one.
by post-moon lord you are quite scary but DoG is a lazy bitch so you have to kill providence first
Yharim wants us to fight him, Yharon tries to convince Yharim "dude, that's not a good idea, you'll fucking die, i don't want you to die you're my bestie"
And by the point Yharon fights you it's just
Desperation
He knows he can't convince Yharim so he just
Providence proves further your standing.
decides to do it himself, even if going against Yharim's wishes
He's really loyal like that.
that's scary
Can't stand the idea of losing his best friend.
not that part
Can I bring up the war crime chart yet?
but how the terrarian became a real threat real fast
Gameplay.
is WoF still a big sack of dead gods mushed together or is there more lore
by far,I do...
Pretty much yeah.
Made by Azafurians.
trust me bro... using the hour glass to speed up time so the NPCs revive...
draedon has been gaming far longer than you have
WoF is basically ultrakill flesh prison for divine essence
when can we kill draedon?
like thats literally what it is
never probably
Near impossible to do.
Theoretically possible but yeah
Not because his drone body is like particularly strong but because he's
Here's the war crime chart. Terrarian's got nothing on Team Yharim.
He's Lines Of Code
I mean its ok, if they let him revive... I just wanna kill him
he has ten trillion alternate accounts, you can't ban him
If you destroy his physical body he just has. several other ones
wait thats true
over and over again, and hunt him across the world
Killing Draedon would be like killing the internet. By hand.
I'm gonna fistfight the internet
By punching servers to death.
you are the terrarian, and you are bored
and yu already killed every god
make a computer virus
and dragon
well not really
and npc
You can't kill every god.
you have not in fact killed every god
when they release in the game you will
no not really
Even not including the ones that are off screen.
you will never be able to
there's a god of like everything bro
silva is immortal, no matter what you do y ou can't kill her
xeroc won't be killed
xeroc fight will just you two throwing hands for fun. sparring match
Well, there is one way, but it's not practical.
kill them, they revive, kill them again?
but why tho
Silva doesn't revive.
She doesn't die, full stop.
Yharon revives.
Silva's body is physically Destroyed but she's still alive herself
what if i blow up the planet
oh... wait so a question... the water elementalist
You can't kill the living concept of nature.
she doesnt die?
Also doesn't die.
Yeah she dosen't iether
none of the elementals can truly die
And Cloud.
what if i blow up the planet i mean would that kill the elementals
you can break their physical bodies just like Silva had by the hands of yharim
but they just
come back
then how do I win the fight?
i think it would right
If you're very thorough.
Well tbf depends
You beat her up until she can't go on.
Into tiny pieces.
are they elementals of JUST terraria or like Everywhere
like do othr planets and space and etc count
can't you do the same to Silva?
So she takes a while to regenerate.
Yeah, that's what happened.
yeah. case in point yharim did that to her
but she's still not dead
i think it'd be odd if it was of everywhere
She got ground up and tossed into a pit. Twice.
neither is anahita
no need to kill her
It'd make more sense if it was just terraria yeah
if you can just make her unable to do anything
do you like playing murder hobos in dnd
I mean you have draedon, he is smart
Same is true for the other Elementals, although as they aren't gods they are likely weaker.
yeah Silva is def the strongest
he can cage her or some bs and have her body destroyed over and over again
ok but
why would he do that
And Brimstone is also after fighting a 13 year old girl to a standstill and is still recovering.
why would he not?
astrum deus is probably my favorite godlike figure in cal despite not being a god
meow
He used to before the rewrite.
cause it's just chill af if it wasn't for the infection
wawa
Yeah?
what kindsa space fauna and things do u think exist :o
i could probably pet him in the head
is fighting providence in the hallow not canon
astrum deus and aquatic scoog are the goats
he wants knowledge, I beat Silva initially, then he can cage her and study her
win win
do u ppl have space creature OCs
I think that... uh... there's not much...
if he gaf about silva he would already have what remains of her body by now
I think Fovos ate them or something.
why? he can learn how to create elementalists
Since big space monster.
