#

Using necromancy on herself is the last thing she'd do

odd magnet
#

But also what is the average lifespan for every single one of these figures

frail hearth
#

i mean necrotic induced insanity's probubly nothing a good therapist and a gameplan can't fix over the span of a decade i bet @u@

wanton pendant
#

Yeah, 'cause she'd be dead.

odd magnet
#

Fucking wifi

pliant ruin
#

a similar lifespan to just irl

split mortar
pliant ruin
#

80-100 give or take

#

and yeah

#

yharim has a higher lifespan than average humans and hes 130 so

#

seems likely its not far off irl

#

for other species we dunno tho

wanton pendant
#

Permafrost is like 400.

pliant ruin
#

dryads clearly can be really old

frail hearth
#

yea like the lore figures have unreal lifespans because they're a bunch of magic old men. Cal's a little more ambiguous cus she's like still in her quarter-life crisis

pliant ruin
#

Permafrost is 400ish but he extended his life through magic

wanton pendant
#

28 and her life's been ruined like twice.

pliant ruin
#

A very specific brand of magic that iirc he himself developed

#

Cal's just a human so i think she has pretty long to live on still

frail hearth
wanton pendant
#

You think?

odd magnet
#

I would

frail hearth
#

I want the mod's epilouge to confirm she gets a good therapist >u>;

pliant ruin
#

even if we account for the possibility of brimstone magic lowering her lifespan which i can kind of see

pliant ruin
#

i think shed live untill like

#

her 70s

#

atleast

split mortar
wanton pendant
#

If Permafrost taught her the life extension magic would she use it?

pliant ruin
#

I think that one's a maybe actually

#

It depends on how her life's context is looking

odd magnet

The.

frail hearth
#

i'll give you that, if you're a resiliant enough soul a strong drink and an experienced bartender can be a therapy alternative, but it risks alcoholisim and also the bartender might start adding clinical fees to your tab >u>

OHH

#

You!

#

I Just got it nvm

Your mom

odd magnet

Bro

#

Diht

pliant ruin
#

Extending your life with permafrost's weird cryogenics is actually much more plausible id say but im not sure if cal woulod go through with it if permafrost taught her

split mortar
odd magnet
#

Oh mein gott I got it

#

I use my cheat permission slip from nameless diety to both canonize and grant calamitas an experienced therapist

The Guide.

frail hearth
#

the deed is done šŸ™

frail hearth
#

FUCKED UP ;0;

odd magnet
#

An estimate terrarian lore call it?

wanton pendant
#

Kill Yharim and all mandatory bosses.

frail hearth
#

ttrpg rules baby! that's up to you :D

#

your restrictions are you're here for a reason and you canonically win each fight

pliant ruin
#

is the chat back to being normal again

#

alright cool

odd magnet
pliant ruin
#

what in regards to them

frail hearth
#

also meta/game logic like respawns or grinding a boss for loot are not canon

pliant ruin
#

killing them..? i mean yeah you can if you want to

odd magnet
wanton pendant
#

You don't have to.

pliant ruin
#

i mean yeah you can build a town if you want to

odd magnet
frail hearth
#

i mean you don't but it's fun to imagine why your goober's there in the first place

pliant ruin
#

if you do build a town you can make up a reason for why you did so if you want

odd magnet
#

No I mean like

wanton pendant
#

For example: You're a landlord.

pliant ruin
#

Maybe your character is just a greedy landlord or maybe they're actively building houses for people in a attempt to revitalize the heartlands and give a home for the survivors of the crusade on it

odd magnet
#

This isn’t any backstory thing I’m talking about I mean like wouldn’t it just be the average that we built a town no matter what

wheat walrus
#

p

odd magnet
#

No matter the reason

frail hearth
#

I made up a faction of the Wulfram resistance who got disallusioned with the war effort and fled the continent to establish a port town. come the mods events. it's sent out an expidition to reclaim and salvage the bots still roaming the area now that some of the heat's died down.

odd magnet
#

Even if some of us didn’t

pliant ruin
#

but if we're going for "average" here

#

most players build wooden boxes

#

so like

odd magnet
#

Yeah obviously

pliant ruin
#

point is idk why this matters lul

frail hearth
#

i do not have a lore reason for them or why they're there, but i also like hollowing out and renovating the big trees that spawn into a town :D

pliant ruin
#

what the community at large does shouldn't really matter that much specially when most people aren't that invested on the lore and are just here for the funny boss killing

odd magnet
#

Idk brah I think it could be possible for calamitas to get a therapist but they’d both be living in shitty boxes

pliant ruin
#

You can just make up any sort of reasonings for the things you do yourself, if you'd like to

odd magnet
#

But also that’s up to me so whatevs

pliant ruin
#

All things considered

#

I dunno how much a therapist could help Calamitas

frail hearth
pliant ruin
#

Her situation is pretty like Unique and also i think she can't really

odd magnet
#

I don’t build shitty boxes

pliant ruin
#

Go to a therapist given she's fucking Calamitas

frail hearth
#

give ya NPCs a home! building's like half the fun of terraria

long bloom
#

true!

odd magnet
wanton pendant
#

Do you think she gets a veteran discount?

odd magnet
#

I am half decent at building

pliant ruin
#

But like as it stands she's like. fine. relatively speaking

#

She has trauma and angst yeah but she's livin

frail hearth
#

i mean her situation's unorthadox but i'm sure someone trained in PTSD symptoms and grooming victims might be able to help her with some of that trauma

pliant ruin
#

The best treatment to the stuff she's gone through is really just time, self-reflection and being able to have people around her

odd magnet
#

Someone mentioned a therapist and if that’s possible in epilogue so that’s why I discussed it

pliant ruin
#

and she's already had 2/3 of those things

odd magnet
#

Anyway imma go

#

I leave with a

#

Actually I don’t have anything

pliant ruin
#

Like i think Calamitas is in a state where she's pretty well adjusted to her past by now

frail hearth
#

bye! nice talking to you :D

wanton pendant
#

I think she used to have issues with anger, I mean she did nuke Italy.

pliant ruin
#

Is it traumatic? Yeah, absolutely. Does she still have angst and guilt about it? Of course, she always will to some extent

#

But she's not letting it dictate her life and all things considered she's doing pretty Fine

#

The big thing i can think of is that she probably gets pretty lonely given she dosen't have many friends or a place to really call a home since she seems to live in the wilderness and be mostly a hermit

#

And that is something that can get remedied by having her reunite with Permafrost adn potentially find connections with people that actually accept her with the Terrarian showing up

frail hearth
#

I like giving her a room with Permafrost. might as well try to chill out with your ice wizard dad

#

who better to?

wanton pendant
#

All the power in the world... and she still has no friends.

frail hearth
#

DAMN

wanton pendant
#

She has a leather ball she drew a face on.

pliant ruin
#

I can see her having a pet

#

Would be a nice form of company given actually having any long-term friends for the time being is out of question (Atleast until the events of the game)

#

I do think she meets people when she like goes through towns and stuff to buy supplies and wahtnot

wanton pendant
#

Is Calamitas a cat or dog person or a secret third thing?

pliant ruin
#

I just don't think she has any real long term friends

frail hearth
wanton pendant
#

At one point she met a guy named William Afton who was into necromancy.

odd magnet
#

The presence of this channel is a little more sludgeous

#

Because the sludge is back

frail hearth
#

it's name is Burt because Calamitas is almost as bad at naming things as she is at making friends

frail hearth
#

is there like a design philosophy about what an Azafurian looks like outside calamitas?

deft vessel
#

gray

#

and horns

frail hearth
#

like do they all have grey skin and white hair like trolls in homestuck or can those vary from person to person?

#

i bring up trolls because they're the strongest example of a fantasy race with homogionized hair and skin colors across the species i can think of x-x

#

i guess i'm asking if we've got anything else to go off of other than they have grey skin and horns? >_>;

real silo
#

The grey skin can have various shades and stuff

#

Also I don't think they're locked to white hair

#

It's probably just really common in certain places in the underworld

wanton pendant
#

We don't really have much to go off of, considering we know four, and two are dead so we only see their reanimated corpses, and the remaining two are the same person.

long bloom
#

the guide is azafurian

real silo
#

True

frail hearth
#

is he now?

real silo
#

Yea it's real pretty sure

frail hearth
#

thank you for this info :D

#

trying to come up with a hair color that's not black for a character to dodge the homestuck allegations >_>;

real silo
#

Make it red

wanton pendant
#

He's from Azafurian but he isn't the race from there.

real silo
#

Red hair beloved

long bloom

pluh

frail hearth
#

Do we know the cultural inspirations/influences behind azafur's lore btw?

long bloom
real silo
#

Think it was spain

#

The name at least

wanton pendant
#

Azafure's named after the Spanish word for sulphur and is likely inspired by Spain.

thick slate

spain is hell

#

Guys, may I know how Leviathan originated in the story

wanton pendant
#

It is either the last of its kind or a construct made by Anahita.

jagged ocean
#

Like Leviathan just kinda appeared in the story tho

jagged ocean
frail hearth
#

beeeeg fish friend

wanton pendant

Like I said, it's either a big, near extinct fish, or it's made by Anahita.

frail hearth

of the leviathan theorieswater pproposed

jagged ocean
wanton pendant
#

That's retconned.

thick slate
#

what does retcon stand for

#

etymology of retcon

wanton pendant
#

Retroactive Continuity.

#

It's a contraction of those words.

frail hearth
#

it means to retroactivly rewrite a previously canon story element

thick slate
wanton pendant
#

(I mean, technically it should be ret'con, but that looks stupid.)

jagged ocean
#

What Is retcon?

wanton pendant
#

Retroactive Continuity.

thick slate
#

you change something after it happened to fit the narrative better

#

i do this a lot cause i am the dungeon master

Im of thr opinion yharim would get the domain of eternity

pulsar ocean
wanton pendant
#

If Calamitas did it, would she become the Goddess of Necromancy?

split mortar
#

Dont think her necromancy defines her character much so prob not

woeful hatch
#

Yharim IMO would become the god of resurrection

Which is similar to rebirth, but also a bit different. Not TOO different but not the same either

wanton pendant
#

They hated me for saying that.

pulsar ocean

so like rebirth but better

And theres no way godking yharim has s chance against xeroc lmao

pulsar ocean

If yharim became a god I think in my humble opinion he should respawn immediately upon death like Connor from the confinement if y'all watched that

woeful hatch
split mortar
#

Oh true good point

wanton pendant
#

If Calamitas wouldn't be necromancy if she absorbed Yharon's soul, what do you think she'd be?

split mortar
#

Prob some other random related domain to rebirth

ruby heart
#

peepowegud she is just a person ye

#

isnt an abomination or something, in my planned design initially in the first phase she do wear clothes that give her a more demonic appearance though

frosty charm
#

Nevermind no question

north root
frosty charm
#

anyone have ideas for the distortion since im getting to that point and i need to plan around it since being a purple abyss is prob lame
the idea i had is that it's another world/planet/dimension overtaken by an infection like thing (inspired from the rot rw) and because of it everything's all fucky (gravity is weird; liquid can flow upwards, there's floating chunks of building, etc) and noxus hangs from the sky like a bat hanging from the ceiling

dusk laurel
#

the distortion wont be an empty purple abyss

north root
#

i mean from what i've gathered the entire thing is alive and a hide mind controlled by noxurble

#

also there is cosmolight everywhere so

north root
#

the majority

frosty charm
young socket
#

just a large amount, but not all, of the animals

north root
#

the distortion should be shaped like the wotg noxus sprite

frosty charm
#

i had the idea for cosmilite to be both the main liquid and growing on trees like bark (sort of like armor plates)

dusk laurel
#

i mean cosmilite will be a liquid

young socket
#

my best advice is try to think of it as an alien planet

#

it would have its own biomes

#

like how earth has rainforests and sandy deserts and freezing taigas

north root
#

its like pandora from avatar except theres a heavy purple filter

#

on everything

young socket
#

you remember the name of the alien planet in the avatar movies?

north root
#

yeah isn't he named like aang

#

or catara

young socket
#

yea totally

frosty charm
#

fake fan korra was the next avatar after aang

woeful hatch
#

That's how I imagine it

#

A mix of the movie version and the game version

pliant ruin
#

i imagine the distortion as a very funky psychedelic place

#

lots of colors, very vibrant

#

floating rock islands on a void is the most boring possinble path to take with it and i dont think literally any of the devs want it to be that

snow mountain
#

tunicates

sinful adder
#

I want the distortion to be exactly terraria's terrain except the solid and empty spaces are inverted

#

Except I guess that would just be floating rock islands in a void, but with a ceiling and floor at the top and almost bottom of the world

#

So I don't actually want that

pliant ruin
#

just have funky alien biomes that cannot exist on earth

#

an floating spiral ocean whereas the center of the spiral is the "deep sea", a upside down jungle where the "trees" grow from the sky, cold deserts made entirely of frozen cosmilite, just throwing out ideas here

#

just the general vibe i think, funky alien place with funky biomes that are still "natural" parts of the distortion but are things that just could never exist on earth

#

the distortion imo is a great gateaway into exploring some truly bizzare alien nature concepts, even if its not exactly "alien" as much as its another dimension

#

The type of stuff you'd see on wayne barlowe's Expedition but even funkier

#

One of the biomes on that is a gigantic sea that's not actually made of water but instead is a single giant amoeba

#

that type of stuff

#

There's so much interesting you can do with ecosystems on a place that dosen't follow the laws of earth

fallen kindle
#

how much do you type

split mortar
pliant ruin
#

alot when i feel like it

fierce pagoda
#

do you think the illmerians played instruments, and like what kind

#

what instruments would work underwater

split mortar
pliant ruin
#

I feel like they def mustve had something like that but yeah unsure of what would work underwater
Sound frequencies still spread underwater, you just can't really haer em, so maybe they had tools specifically designed to work off that

#

Alternatively they could've also just played on the many pockets of land in illmeris

#

Man i can't wait to learn more about illmerian culture

#

love that sort of worldbuilding

fierce pagoda
#

maybe the had ears evolved to hear underwater way better than us land dwellers

#

would that mean they'd have like really sensitive ears above water

cloud ibex
#

it's very funny to imagine them not having normal music, going to the surface, hearing a choir sing or something and going "what the FUCK is that"

pliant ruin
#

the horrors of country music hit the ears of the innocent fish person

#

thinking about illmeran cuisine and how it'd probably be some of my favorite stuff ever

#

i love seafood

#

and it'd be like

#

basically mostly just seafood

fierce pagoda
#

if they'd want to play like percussion instruments underwater, theyd have to be like kinda strong right? to generate enough force to hit something hard underwater

#

cuz water is harder to move through than air

cloud ibex
young socket
fierce pagoda
#

cannabilamism is probaly illegal there

pliant ruin
# pliant ruin basically mostly just seafood

I imagine their diet would not only include a variety of fish, crustaceans and mollusks obviously but i also think they'd definitely have farm for underwater crops like diff types of seaweed or algae aswell as using the pockets of air to cultivate some more inland crops near water

fierce pagoda
#

How would an illmerian taste come to think of it? more fish like?

#

or more mammal meat? probably not that

#

cuz like they loook kinda like humans

its morally correct to kill and eat people

Lets get into the social science of why cannibalism isnt more common in humans

what about the biggest native animal then

the shark?

long bloom

cnidrion

fierce pagoda

is cnidrion gonna be the same size after the rework

Otherwise i'm p sure the biggest animals that are native to the sunken sea that we know of are Desert Scourges (Or whatever their species is actually called), Cnidrions and then Hermititans, in that order

fierce pagoda

ah yeah the desert scourge

long bloom
#

also crested stalker is slightly bigger than the pulse raptor

fierce pagoda

big animals

There's the possibility that there's bigger animals that just went extinct after incineration but from what we know its those guys

If Leviathan is an actual species of animal and not like some magic elemental manifestation, Leviathan

DoG is literally from another dimension and he's like fully sapient

split mortar

Fair enough not dog

I think he's neither biologically a animal or a animal in the more metaphorical side of things

fierce pagoda

yeah

yeah!!

Then yeah leviathan i think

fierce pagoda
pliant ruin
#

Leviathan, unless it's like a elemental construct

#

Then it's Aqua scoog

long bloom
#

what about primordial wyrm

split mortar
#

Moonlord clueless

pliant ruin
#

Which makes sense because Aquatic Scourges are like filter feeders which tend to get pretty big

#

Look at, yknow

#

whales.

fierce pagoda
#

there are multiple aquatic scourgers right? but only one in the sulfurous sea

pliant ruin
#

He is really big

fierce pagoda
#

bah

pliant ruin
#

If we're counting the biological definition then yeah

#

Buttt

#

He does seem to be like

#

sapient

split mortar
#

The worms only have length
Leviathan has all 3 dimensions be big

pliant ruin
#

So if by animal you mean, not sapient, animalistic

fierce pagoda
#

oh but primodrial wyrm is cheating!

#

was primwyrm that big always

pliant ruin
#

It's a entire species

#

It's just that we only find one specifically

#

near the sulph sea shoreline

fierce pagoda
#

so maybe there are even bigger ones out there!

long bloom
#

checkmate liberal

fierce pagoda
#

they are!?

split mortar
#

Ok but like leviathan still bigger

fierce pagoda
#

I always thought they were a tad bit smaller

pliant ruin
#

Wait are Eidolon Wyrms bigger than Aquatic Scourge

split mortar
pliant ruin
#

i thought they werer a little smaller yeah

snow mountain
pliant ruin
#

If so then those guys are actually bigger

#

Though to be fair

split mortar

Things might change once things like eidolon wyrm and aquatic scourge get their redesigns

I still kinda hate that the reaper shark is the apex predator of the abyss, and NOT the Eidolon wyrms

#

stupid dumb shark...

pliant ruin

eidolon wyrms aren't apex predators because they're like filter feeders

#

theyre abyss whale

I was saying why i think the worms are smaller then leviathan
Incattus
You calamity fan

fierce pagoda
#

maybe id be more fine with the shark if it didnt look so dumb

#

it has like no aura

pliant ruin
#

yeah the design sucks but its ok hes being redesigned later

fierce pagoda
#

yippie!

pliant ruin
#

the arms look completely jarring bc theyre just like

#

a buff little man's arms pasted into a shark

#

they look so dumb šŸ„€

#

Triangle's redesign ideas seem quite premising though

snow mountain
#

the problem with the abyss is that its monopallete hell

#

premising

fierce pagoda
#

its okay tho, the true strongest abyss creature is still an Eidolon wyrmā˜ŗļø

long bloom
fierce pagoda
#

take that shark, Eidolon wyrm supremacy!

pliant ruin
#

Basically turning reaper shark into a goblin shark - ghost shark inspired guy with better anatomy and more merman-esque physiology

#

so the arms actually Work and dont look stupid

fierce pagoda
#

do the still ave they arms

snow mountain
pliant ruin
#

They'll still have arms but the arms will, i assume, actually look good and not be poorly stapled Buff Guy arms onto it

snow mountain
#

the shark needs to be fleshy

#

keep the out of placeness but like

#

make it make sense

fierce pagoda
#

I mean i kinda get the rock design, cuz its like camoflague

#

but its still kinda ugly

pliant ruin
#

Yeah there's

snow mountain
#

its 100% rock

pliant ruin
#

much better ways to make it a ambush hunter in design

#

Triangle and Tobias are goated when it comes to creature design though so i trust em to make it good

snow mountain
#

fuck it make the arms part of the mouth

As a creature design lover those two are saving the calamity creature design economy

is bone lee part of the onyx clan

#

if so why is he in the dungeon

pliant ruin
#

I don't think there's any confirmation that bone lee was partof the onyx kinsman clan but it'd make enough sense with him being like a martial arts guy and the kinsman being the East Asian Ninja Themed Guys

#

And if he is i mean

#

They worshipped slime god

The dungeon was where Yharim put war prisoners and shit

Yharim is you

pliant ruin
#

That's the vanilla entry but if put in the context of calamity then yeah it'd amke sense for them to be kinsman

#

It works very well

#

I imagine they won't be changing that one with the bestiary changes in SSO

bone lees getting changed

wanton pendant

"Bone Lee used to be named Flesh Lee, and was Statis' secret brother. After the Onyx Divorce, Flesh Lee went on his separate ways, only to get captured by his nemesis, Ghost Lee, and imprisoned in the Dungeon at Yharim's command." -Totally real SSO Bestiary entry.

#

The Onyx Divorce, of course, was Signus and Slime God's divorce. Can't wait for it to be explored in the lore.

pliant ruin
#

damn thats surprising

#

given bone lee's entry fits like perfectly with cal lore

i wonder if there were fish people in the yharmy

i mean surely theres gotta be like atleast one

illmerans aren't a species as much as they're like a nationality and merfolk as a whole seem pretty widespread

though i imagine due to the yharmy's conflict with illmeris merfolk racism would be a thing

#

but there was probably like atleast some fish people on the yharmy surely

wanton pendant

I wouldn't be surprised if other merfolk nations/factions both existed and have had some ally with Yharim.
