Rod of discord>>
pisscord
Imagine using rod of harmony when you could use wulfrum acrobatics pack
They’re still my favourite characters though I love my mentally messed up lowkey problematic besties
Tbh yeah, yharon and draedon are my favorite characters too
Which are both very problematic
But tbh, the idea of problematic doesn't mean much does it
Tragic
finally im not alone
I think for Yharon specifically I like to attribute his extreme loyalty to the fact that
Basically everything close to him was taken (to my knowledge)
Like yharim was essentially the only person close to him as well, and vice versa
Yeah, I think that's kinda the point. Like he's evil, messed up, and yet feeling empathy for him is natural, because we see a blind fool that fell down a dark path, but with at least SOME self consciousness about the effects his actions had
And we see that if his motivations WERE really only what he said, and if he approached the situation with nuance rather than blind hatred, he could have been an understandable person
Not to absolve him of his sins he definitely also shared lots of Yharims views
but I can just imagine as Yharim spirals more Yharon stays by his side no matter what because he clings to basically the only person he has
I mean he basically gives up his life because he doesn’t want to imagine a world where Yharim gets slain
This is headcanon territory though
Well yeah ofc
I agree in seeing yharon in a more positive light , even if it's probably headcanon on my end too
Like marching towards your likely death to save another is inherently pretty selfless. Which is an admirable quality. And he really did lose everything. That, alongside not knowing how much he participated in the darker aspects of the crusade, makes him more likeable, IMO
Some of this is me going “w-well maybe he didn’t do AS much genocide 🥹” lol
But yeah agreed 100%
Nuke italy
canon to calamity lore I think
Yeah ilmeris is italy sized iirc
It's more of a reference about "calamitas evaporated an underground aquifer about the size of Italy" which got simplified to "calamitas nuked Italy"
Yharim groomed a child into nuking italy
My headcanon series of events is that Yharon’s initial conversations with Yharim after getting away sparked the motivation for the crusade, but mostly everything after was Yharim taking charge
With Yharons support of course
Yeah, I think so too? Not that yharon didn't participate at all in the decision making process, but more like he seems absent in the dealings yharim had with DOG, Draedon, grooming Calamitas, etc
There is rn a weird lack of yharon after the crusade starts
Yharon was actually just vibing and totally not burning people alive
And and he’s chill 🥹
Devs told me 🥹
Yeah like, in the duel between yharim and Braelor + statis? Where was he lol
Why was DOG there but not Yharon
Is there any info on braelor and statis personality wise
Gay
Or is a lot of that just not in the mod yet
Ik that
We support
Calamity mod if it was woke: wait why did nothing change
No I don't think there's much about them personality wise? We do know that Statis made a deal with signus to get out of the distortion iirc, while Braelor seems to not have done so
I feel pretty content with my grasp on the lore then, I was just worried I somehow completely missed info on these important characters
I forget the mod is like just not done
There's also the fact that apparently DOG senses hesitation when Statis was about to deal the final blow to yharim which is something notable too
We prob will learn more on statis and braelor when their npcs get added
completely backtracking but a big reason I was assuming Yharim’s early phase of his crusade was a bit less “kill innocent people for no reason” was because of permafrost being his friend then
Since he’s painted much more positively
Trans people control slime
Is this also canon
I will believe any answer
Slimegod is genderfluid
Yeah, there's that too
I at least imagine the civilian casualties weren’t AS bad then
As bad as y’know, burning down the entire civilization
But I could be wrong lots of calamity lore is vague
Skeletron prime is prob from early in the crusade
The first mechs kinda just depend when draedon joined
A bit after that
I could think about when that happened but it’s so late I’m tired
True which is like 20 odd years after it started? @wanton pendant
The shock troops who flamethrower the civilians we dunno when they started existing
Weren’t the mechs kind of out of their control by the way
The mechs had free will due to the bajillion souls in them
Well not exactly
They weren't able to be controlled by draedon
But they were still loyal to yharim
Snail
Given they were his soldiers
I explained it better
I'm the immortal snail
That chases you forever
Ok you can instakill one immortal person
Sending you to france
@real silo WHY THE SHOWER
Sauron is correct
I don't empathize with Yharim 
add spare button
Hey guys, does any of you know why is aureus called that?
if you want the real reason, theres a trivia section for it in the wiki
for the lore reason we dont know
Astrum Aureus's name roughly translates to "golden star" in Latin, although its name is actually a reference to an infectious bacteria named Staphylococcus aureus
What's the point of the ref 😭
Wait I acc shared the link in my lang
Spontaneous italy
Well, because of the astral INFECTION?
So that's why it's named after an infectious bacteria
ig
b there's a bagillion other infections and the ref js so happens to be "aureus"
yk w auric being an important b unrelated thing
So it confuses me
Puzzles me even
Crusade started in 1781 and Draedon joined in 1803, which means it was 22 years later, and the mechanical bosses had to have been made after Draedon joined.
Did draedon make flamethrowers or was azafure based enough to makenit themself
How do they get Souls of Fright?
(Why on Earth does a flamethrower need Souls of Fright to craft? Are we using the souls of the damned to ignite the gel? I assume making it so that the souls that made Skeletron Prime using flamethrowers is a reference to the flamethrower weapon being post-Skeletron Prime, but it's just a strange decision, like it's just a normal flamethrower. What did Relogic mean by this? What do Souls of Fright taste like?)
probably not
unless they imported a lot of gel
They got Leonardo.
(lava slimes and infernal congealment dont drop gel themselves)
or
Slimes from the caves.
they used another material to ignite them
Now I'm wondering if the Guide Voodoo Doll has lore, or if there's a lore reason for the Guide coming back post-Wall of Flesh.
they shouldve named him astrum lococcus
would teenage mutant ninja turtles beat yharim
The Injustice version of them, yeah.
teenage mutant ninja turtles were in injustice?
Yeah.
Miku Hatsune!
you know like locacaca like the thing from jjba that resets ur stand
Teto of infinite disgruntled doom.
your honor my client simply had to approach the genocide with nuance your honor
like sorry but poor stupid idiot onlyr eally works when it's like stealing or being a mule comitting five counts of ultraomega genocide isn't "blind fool that fell for the lies" it's evil ass supervillian
he doesnt even feel bad about most if it
Recently stumbled upon a video that compares dog and primordial wyrm and they said that DoG easily wins which I highly doubt, My question is what is the overall power gap between DoG and Primordial wyrm based on the lore?
Game progression is a good indicator of that
And
Wyrm (jared) is post scal/exos atm
:o
So yeah uh DoG is fucked
DoG is getting turned into a spring.
I dont see dog pulling out smart tactics to beat the power gap
does that imply primordial wyrm could no diff calamitas
i thought of the wrong person for a second
Calamitas can evaporate water.
Wyrm lives in water.
No water, Wyrm has no home.
Calamitas wins the war.
Advanced fire.
is that what they do in spongebob
We know what happens what scal tries water vs fire
Look at ilmeris
thats what they did in illmeris
sure worked out then
Tyrian probably has mad underwater accessories
Speaking of tyrian:
Ok so tyrian is the god of the sea right
And the eidolon wyrm is a sea creature
Therefore we can scale Tyrian above the adult Eidolon Wyrm
(This is a joke meant to make fun of powerscalers, please do not kill me)
Eidolon Wyrm is a goddess pet.
Therefore as a sea god Tyrian has authority.
Tyrian wins.
Jared has sillier name and thus wins
Tyrian is hotter and thus wins
Excuse me.
You are excused
I see the vision
I am in lore discussion
Yay!

Ignore previous messages.
Alright so
What previous messages?
So long ago the dragons fought the Moon Lord.
They barely won.
King of the Dragons had their soul absorbed by Xeroc who became the first god.
People copied that.
Dragons are now dead.
TL;DR: The reasons why the dragons are dead is because people can use their souls to become gods
Now for the long version
Is that what a Auric Soul is?
Yeah.
Exactly
Interesting' Does the player do that by killing Yharon?
No.
Awww
- You don't know how to do it.
- Yharon's soul escapes.
I see, I see
personally i do
Then, I think smaller dragons could persist? Being lesser beings similar to dragons only in genetic ancestry'
Yeah, well you're a nerd.
Non Auric Dragons exist.
They're referred to as Draconic Offshoots.
So we could catch tiny draconic offshoots in a net? =]
Think Wyverns, Dragonfolly, Basilisks, Fishrons, Pigrons and such.
And Wyrms of course.
A bit too big to fit in a net.
And they probably weren't allowed in the Dragon's Aerie.
Same way cockroaches aren't allowed in people's houses
Cockroaches…
They still find a way in and getting rid of them is a whole thing
Also new person
It's probably hard to get into the Aerie.
The persistence of life...
Since Draedon couldn't figure it out.
Hmm, fair
And he had decades to try, assuming he only learned it existed from Yharim.
I love Draedon so much I hope we get more of that
Well I mean, life has millions of years
I doubt we will get a lot more of draedon for a while the guy already has a lot going on
What's he got going on?
Like, during the time the player is beating up the Exomechs
Like 7 bosses
He's been very busy off camera.
And has some of the most dialogue, along with Yharim.
Draedon is fighting bosses we can't?????????
and an entire weapons arsenal
No the guy is the creator of like 7 bosses
Ahh, which ones?
Normal mechs trio,aureus and pbg are his creation
Ahhh I see
Compared to Permafrost Lore:
Old war criminal, adopted an oprhan.
I meant as in draedon already has a lot narratively so adding more wouldnt be a priority
who's stronger adult eidolon wyrm or primordial wyrm
And also acid rain stuff
Primordial Wyrm.
Fairrr, that's probably why I love him so muuuucchhh
I love NPCs we can talk to, but not actually recruit into our village
Alright, so, for the long version:
The dragons were born from the fracturing of the "world soul", which is what generated their auric souls. Each of them had their own domain, which it controlled. The most notable dragons, are the two strongest ones: Zerastros, the strongest, the dragon of Primordial Light (tied to sunlight), and Yharon, dragon of rebirth, which had the role of perpetuating the existence of the dragons by reviving them after they died.
One day, an eldritch horror called Fovos came to the world, and started destroying everything. The dragons fought back, and managed to seal its weakned body on the moon, but many were wounded in the effort. Including their leader, Zerastros.
A monk called Xeroc, who had sworn an oath of fealty to the dragons, broke it by killing Zerastros and consuming his soul, becoming the first god. Over time , not as a singular effort, other people followed its example and became gods. Some for good purposes, others for not so good purposes. This, eventually left only Yharon, who was eventually found as an egg on the dragon aerie again. Yharim was destined to consume his soul and ascend, but he refused. This lead to him and the egg being cast into the lava, but this let the egg hatch, and yharon saved yharim, which leads to the events of the crusade and later the game
Yes hi
It's Zeratros.
There will be 2 gay people we dont get into town eventually btw
WHO
i let them in mine
LET ME GAZE UPON THE GAY PEOPLE
I hear eventually we will , maybe, after we complete their quests
Pull up the gay concept art.
Braelor and Statis
And their goddess BFF.
WOah
🤤
they broke up btw cuz distortions guys are evil
NOOOOOO
Not accurate.
Gay people
SNAIL
Statis had to pay an arm and a leg to escape the Distortion.

And had to leave their bf behind.
Don't worry we help them get back together probably
With all the images, as expected.
So what is a 'god' in the context of Calamity?
Someone who ascended with an Auric Soul.
A being which consumed a dragons auric soul
someone who ate a soul
NOTHING ELSE COUNTS.
A person who did the ascension ritual on an auric soul
and me
Are they like, 'true' Gods or false Gods?
i count too
And then there's some "false" gods like astrum deus, which are worshipped as a god, but aren't an actual god
Wym by this?
They're true gods
DoG calls himself a god because he's a narcissist, not a god.
Astrum deus took the auric souls of stars guys trust me
They command their domain, are immortal, and etc
And outdated dialogue
As in, how would they compare to deities which actually created reality? If any exist
Far weaker.
Oh! In that case, far weaker
Well the strongest one xeroc is the god of the sun
But God (The Bible) is never brought up in lore.
Check out slime god
Yeah theres no creator deity in cal
Would it be better to describe such beings as Primordials, then? Being far stronger than Gods'
Do not say Nameless Deity.
So there's a thing called an Auric Dragon.
I believe like, even xeroc, the strongest god, could wipe out the life of a planet but I don't think actually destroy it utterly?
Unfortunately non-canon........
They fit the definition of god
Xeroc could throw the sun at the Terraria.
Would you count noxus
That would kill everyone.
And if given enough time and power, Providence could incinerate the planet.
Well we don't know of any of those so we don't mention them to also avoid confusion
Especially since gods wildly vary in power
For me, a true 'God' is a being which can shape reality
And primordial is used on other things
Like primordial light or the primordial wyrm
Like, on a cosmic scale at least
Well too bad, that's not the definition we're using.
Fair, fair
Well, in general calamity doesn't have those
They’re just powerful people here I think
So the universe caps out at around planetary-level power?
Calamity gods fit the definition of “supernatural entity which can control a certain aspect)
The strongest being can control the sun.
Smaller then the planet
Well, large star'
Everything else is far weaker.
Even a bit less than that because as I said, Xeroc couldn't destroy an entire planet in one attack
Sun is smaller and colder than real life.
It may be able to do so but over time
Ahhh, I see
Do we have any lore on Wulfrum or can I continue to headcanon my OC is related to it? =3
With some old calcs done a while ago that are prob outdated
Uh
The like i think fifth or sixth strongest character is city level
Wulfrum stuff is made by an unspecified resistance faction.
Its made by rebels to try and annoy yharims army
Thats about it afaik
Eeeeh see about calamity's cosmology, it's not like normal cosmology
The sun is small, and orbits around the planet
The stars in the sky are mainly the actual fallen stars we can pick up, albeit larger ones do exist like the ones that eventually turn into the astral infection
yeah most stars are made of mana
Assuming an Astrum Deus doesn't eat them first.
the sun is primordial light
i orbit the plabet
apollo
Hmm, interesting'
awesome profile picture
falin
I should write a sheet for my Calamity OC...
a character sheet?
Yes
i love that stupid dumby
Roughly 25-50 megatons worth of energy per second
But as i said old and prob very outdated so take with a salt shaker or two
LESBIANS ARE SO COOL RAAAAARRGGGHHH
Laios better
Stop reminding me of things I intend to do!
jerma ripping off shirt to reveal mexico shirt gif but it says women instead
From what I read about Calamitas
i love them all
Idk if it's outdated still tho
True!
Country level would mean oneshots a country
Scal can destroy a country over time of days or weeks and so is drastically not country level by the definition of what you can oneshot
Seacilians can confirm.
dev statement scaling 🥀
we love ally !!
NGL somehow I thought you were
Maybe it's because you said you have a gf
i like mentoo
Finally someone with good taste /hj
ive never had mentos
i hate so many people
Tru
I hate nobody because my soul is pure!! 
-# I pour all of my hatred into a single guy.
i wonder if ilmeris was easier or harder for her to destroy because it was an ocean
glad we agree on this too melon gun
what does hj mean
Half joking
oh
I learn
Slowly
like would she be able to just engulf a city in flame
anyways it being an ocean would make it harder i say
Not an ocean, an underwater reservoir.
So not quite that much water. Still a lot.
Listen man half the fucking lore is dev statements I'll take what I can get
it's a lot of water
it was an ocean 
Also a sea not ocean would be closer anyway
that's what matters
anyways
Yeah, scaling is kinda weird. Personally, I see it as what a person can destroy using all of their power' Not necessarily in one shot, but in a short time. Say, an hour'
it being a large body of water would make it much tougher
I remember hearing Yharim could punch a city and break it. Not sure HOW BIG of a city.
that is absolutely old lore lol
especially if the final result is desertifying even a chunk of it
The Terrarian with a Super Absorbant Sponge:
Like, Tokyo or Luxemburg sized city?
actually im like 100% certain thats something that happens in old lore
fair but im talking abt boiling the water
The terrarian has been mentioned
Yeah I read that too, that if he really put his all into it, he could one-shot a city
The Terrarian solos, I'm afraid
The Terrarian is:
in old lore they had yharim break a table, kill some gods and trigger a huge earthquake with his fist
broke his arm for allat
A. You.
B. Me.
C. Yharim.
D. All of the above.
Surprisingly no, that scaling is still there I believe
But once again, entirely because of dev statements
Yharim??
dev statements aren't real im afraid
INCORRECT!
😔
THE TERRARIAN IS YOU!
THE TERRARIAN IS YOU
i only like mentos ,,
Oh I thought you were saying it was all three of those things
dev statements are like
potential man
^^^
I guess yharim can oneshot a small city in a pretty strong hit if we going by dev statements
who is the terrarian
.....
YOU
My Terrarian is the daughter of a major business CEO who went to this weird island to study the effects of pollution -- pollution caused by said corporation' Rebelling in a journalistic sorta way =3
you ..
What about the plutonium?
we're all you
i find the overreliance this channel has on em bothersome bc 99/100 it's something that was thought up on the fly and devs themselves have consistently emphasized on them not being canon and that all that's true is what's ingame
ohh
The whar
A figment of your imagination (I'm the smart part)
You know, the plutonium.
thats what sso is aiming to fix a lot of
by adding a lot of lore actually
to the game

yuh
hi smart fart
I kinda wanted to attribute the Sulphurous Sea to OC lore but I dunno if that's too much, given it seems to be fairly important lorewise

sso release im so waiting for u
Sulphurous Sea is Team Yharim's fault.
Yeahhh
Well we do have canonical explanations for why it is what it is , but it's not SUPER important
Azafure made it acidic and draedon polluted it with nukes
make ur own lore for ur character
There's a whole war crime chart.
i want em to take their time, but within this year or early 2026 would be best easy
In my headcanon, Terraria is just one island rather than like, the entire world or anything'
And nuclear waste!
yeah it was just normal acidic style and then draedon dropped the uranium in it
There's more out there, we just don't go there.
yeah its just one continent
Why is it sulphurous rather than nuclear?
And Terraria is the name of the planet.
Azafure loves sulphur.
For me it's just a large island rather than a continent =3
In the lore it's more akin to a continent
The sunken sea (and so, probably a big chunk of the desert) is the size of Italy
Terraria is the name of the planet
A continent sized island at that rate.
like the princess is from another land iirc
remember we only see a 2d view of the whole place
Okay maybe not then this scaling is actually really cool
Obviously duh
The game is 3d
Lore wise
Whatever your world name is the name of the continent
Often called heartlands here for ease of use
They should add dinosaurs to sulphur sea
And the Sunken Sea in-game is significantly smaller than what it will be in the future.
I wonder if uh, I could use mods to make the world size larger without screwing up the generation of things
While it's possible it gets like really really annoying to explore some parts
They replacing nuclear terror with this
The abyss especially is hell
all you need to do to fuck up calamity world generation is just download infernum
Tbh infernum world gen is absurdly cool
and absurdly broken
The profaned temple is AMAZING
Aww, what does Infernium do to Calamity stuff? I was contemplating using it in future
Found it!
💀
It wasn’t dinosaur enough for me
Infernum changes the Abyss, adds structures, changes every boss.
ignore what i say im an infernum disliker
Now, we just need the Ocean to be larger...
redoes every cal boss and miniboss, overhauls abyss generation and adds a few misc things here and there
WOAH IT'S WOKE LESBIAN JESUS
mfs will play this and say biome spread should be on
Thaz me =3
6 Crimson Biomes and all are on the same side.
Unless you play for 300 years that world is NOT getting infected due to sheer size
So, I could make a giant Infernium world and not die instantaneously?
hi
Ok so, the main aspect of it is it adds a difficulty which entirely reworks every single boss and most minibosses, making them generally harder than base calamity but also more fair and more fun
It also changes worldgen in a few places, like by adding a profaned temple, which is the only place where you can fight providence and the profaned guardians, and the abyss, by adding more mini-structures/sub-biomes
Hello.
Add biome spread to Astral Infection 
love this
unironically i think i like seeing the abyss this way
Hello, John Vacuum
Not what that stands for!
If the world is supposed to represent a continent, then I want that thing to be MASSIVE
Vanilla
Calamity
Music
Mod
It stands for Vegetable Consumption Master Man.
A single slice of a continent, since 2D isn't a lore thing, it's a gameplay mechanic.
It stands for vacuum 
It stands for vanilla calamity moss moss
Well sure but I would like the world to be larger as to reflect it being a continent
Current world size is quite certainly far smaller than the lore size.
Abyss is technically only as deep as the sea floor.
It is my stupid decision to make and ultimately regret after ten years of cavecrawling

Even tho abyss is prob like deeper then challangers deep
Hell yeah girl
i love vegetables
animal vegetable mineral man
Well hey at least you'll probably never worry about running out of space for WOF
Right now, I'm playing with Calamity + Thorium and uh, I like all the items but I do see an issue with boss crowding'
How long do you want starting Hardmode to take?

Forever
Yeah that's what happens when you combine two large mods like that.
37 years
I wanna feel like a shonen protagonist on a long journey across the continent
I hear it takes like 20 minutes for it to load in the biomes.
And calamity apready has that issue
What's a shonen?
Some anime genre
Hmm, but then I wonder why -- if this is a continent -- why our village is the only sort of civilisation we can encounter' Gameplay reasons or did Yharim screw things up bad?
(Jon Arbuckle Yelling) YHHAAAAARRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIMMM!!!!!!!!!
Gameplay reason still for the most part
Yharim killed half the planet indirectly and the continent we play on is the ground zero of the hundred year war that caused said halving of the population
While he killed a LOT of people
Everyone is dead Dave.
There's still kingdoms around
There's also some gods around still too, even after his crusade, but they're probably in hiding
Shoulda said sorry
Yhar fucked shit up bad
Hmmm, then it's a kingdom we're building.......
Well yes, but it's only in-game lore.
allow me to introduc
If you want it to be, sure
The terrarian you
does she know 
I WANNA READ LORE NOT PLAY A SCAVENGER HUNT RAAAAARRRGHHH
lore
Hell yeah.
hell yeah
I will sit idly by, mildly confuzzled
ive got just the thing for you, soon
Not a statement you hear often...

i am zoomed all the way out and it goes past the zoom barrier
They should add multiverse and time travel
boy is there a calamity addon for you
What is this being written on?
But before we can talk about that, we need to talk about parallel universes.
google docs
Computers, mainly.

I for one am using an ink well and quill.
Might I recommend Google Sites, my good man?

It's better for creating individual tabs for different topics
Though, the formatting is a little worse, that's only a problem if you're trying to go extra fancy with tables and such'
isnt that just powerpoint
Not really
also im pretty sure docs has a tab option too
since the future content doc has tabs
Hold it: draedon didn't join for the resources, he joined to study yharon
i didnt get to that yet
smh
"support his experiments" would fall under studying yharon
(or well attempt to)
(he never did)
true
It can also be done this way
"as Yharim had sufficient resources to support his experiments"
Also to learn about the science of WAR!
if it Pleases you i will also add "Because he Wanted To Study the Stupid Giant Flying Chicken"
And I don't know, Auric too?
Wait so, what is Auric Metal, exactly?
It is satisfactory
Draconic essence
Metal with dragon souls in it?
Only people in tune with a dragon's soul can use it
In fact, we can't even use it properly, we just make a mock attunement with the fragments of yharon's soul
Probably not made of compressed Auric Souls.
Imagine trying to fight Yharim in the exact same set of armour' Like, you come up to him in cosplay of himself
Dude an attunement system would be so cool...
Gods can't use it either because they don't have auric souls , they consumed them to ascend
He has a better version.
Okay, fighting Yharim in a cruddy cosplay of himself
Yharim got his armor pimped up with exo tech
This resulted in Yharim being a weapon to surpass gay people Metal Gear.
Is there a way for a non-Dragon to have/gain a auric soul?
No Auric Souls left.
I also wonder then, if the ritual does not make their souls auric, then how does the ritual make one divine?
Hmm, I see
It kinda mixes your souls together.
It's more like it melds the soul of the ascendant god with the auric soul
So doing more than one is bad for your health.
Doing three would basically turn you into Polterghast.
Is that what made Polterghast?
No.
Polterghast is thousands of normal souls.
But three Auric Souls + your soul would have the same general result.
Polterghast is just many angry ghosts, that fought and consumed each other
Until becoming a single amalgam
So, auric metal is like, metal that has fragments of a auric soul in it from Yharon?
We don't know.
You dont have an auric soul but you still get a domain adjacent to the domain the dragon had
It's more like, essence of dragons in general, from what we know
Lore wise, I think it's always in the ground , and not just appearing when we kill yharon?
I dont think it has soul fragments in it since soul fragments calm the metal down and not explode you
A perfect ascension lets you retain the original domain.
I think that's the excuse for a lot of the ores, they're there just magically hidden/Terrarian is blind.
i cant wait for this doc to come out and hopefully explain everything 💔
No
Hardmode ores spawn on mech kill and wof kill
Auric spawns on yharon death
I hope it’s not a mess of document tabs 🫀
Yea
We're talking lore wise
uh oh
I doubt "yeah killing these Mechs magically makes ores appear in the cavern"
Tes
I've seen worse.
I kniw
That is the case
At least we have contents.
Why
So you can quickly navigate.
there is probably a far better way to format this and i will do that when ive finished the entire thing
We dont know the reason yet
Draedon hoards all the cobalt. Jerk.
Its just been said ores do spawn on boss kill
So, I'm guessing the mech bosses are super old? Given they're far, far weaker than Draedon's future creations
greetings, how goes the lore
yeah
No issues, totally.
Yeah few decades old
Not SUPER old, but kinda old
They were made during the crusade
Less than 80.
Something to do with the release of essence on a creature's death, perhaps
Why can we even fight them? Did Draedon just, see no use for them anymore and decided to let them roam around?
They have souls and thus free will
wowie =3
according to my probably kinda inaccurate timeline they were made before 1847
So, Draedon respected their free will and set them free or something?
No
a lot of the events in the crusade don't have an established order
No, they were used to murder civilians by Yharim.
Draedon dislikes their creations having free will
they went rogue
draedon does not respect free will
But they did their purpose of killing others so yharim used them as he wnated
Draedon just didn't care enough to recover them?
that's why he made the plague
Why would he, he'd just make something better.
Yeah, that's why I was confuddled
Competitive slavery
In my brain, Draedon would've just decommissioned them as soon as they stopped being useful -- free will or not'
Well yharim was using them
Would be a waste to break them apart
So, they still had use
Crusade also only ended around last year.
Yeah
Draedon just didnt like they had free will
Which would be when their services wouldn't be needed, and Draedon's busy then.
Making better, more obedient killing machines.
Also not in the yharmy by then prob
So, do we know how the dragons themselves scaled? Were they stronger than Gods or, somehow, does taking their auric souls make a God stronger than a dragon?
Well he couldn't really do that without upsetting yharim
Yharon is second strongest.
Zeratros is at least stronger than Primordial Wyrm.
All other dragons were weaker.
I think they varied wildly, but generally were quite tough.
I believe that generally yes, the strength of the dragon you kill does affect your strength as a god
Like slime god, killed the dragon of gluttony, which was pretty weak, and so he is pretty weak too
So questionable
But fits narrative i think
Is the Slime God the first creature with an auric soul or just, auric power, that we can fight then?
Slime god is the first god we can fight in the game
And yeah gods dont have auric souls
Slime God is likely to be moved further up, swapped with Calamitas Clone.
Slime God is one of my fav bosses =3
not likely
just an idea
Genderfluid anxiety blob
I like its current placement, personally
true
A taste of things to come
truer
Slime God needs to hit the Slime Gym.
So, are Gods stronger than the dragons whose souls they consumed?
Probably.
Its been said to be more likely then the other ideas just not borderline confirmed like evil 2 folly iirc
Sometimes are sometimes not
shhhh let me cope
Ok
Didn't think you liked Queen Slime being Slime God that much.
it's mostly about calclone
evil
I guess the existence of the Slime Queen might uh, throw a spanner in the works of the Slime God lore?

rn queen slime is a rogue paladin that ate slime god
Queen slime is the hallowed paladin slimegod was making
Went rogue
Ate slimegod
SHE ATE SLIME GOD WHAT
slime god is the crystal in the center
The devious slime god sized crystal
it's not explained very well
In her
Queen Slime is Slime God's attempt at coming back with a vengeance.
A Revengeance.
I didn't think the Slime God was like, sentient or capable of conscious thought -- let alone enough to formulate plans like creating a paladin'
You kinda have to be sapient to do the god ascension ritual
slime god is very strategic
Well, as normal as someone who turns into slime, I guess.
Meaning slime god wasnt always a slime
Huuuhh
Imagine how horrorfying that was to endure lmao
I like Slime God slightly less now.....
I was really into the idea of a mindless God
Wow, hating genderfluid people?
ravager
Look at ravager thats a zombie
Good news:
Zombie god.
bad news:
Ravager is kinda lame 💀 Though, the overhaul does look epic
its fucking everything up
Yeah rn is lame but im excited for when the flesh gorilla art gets in
Flesh gorilla art?
Cite citation they!
You havent seen phase 2 of the rework?
Ok ima grab the art from the depths of hell brb
I might have, but 'flesh gorilla' doesn't light up any neurons sorgy
someone else post it i can't
One second
my new gallery app is a bitch
@split mortar They got it already!
snailed
Aura
Okay yah I know this
So, what's the lore on the Ravager?
is that ravager?
Concept of its rework yea
How did it become a zombie?
Necromancy.
botched revival of the god of sacrifices
is now the god of blood
So yharim happened and so agnus immolatus was dead
Worshippers necromancied the god
It became zombie
Zombie killed em
Zombie
Zombie yum yum
Used to be a kind and gentle god, Agnus Immolatus, god of sacrifice, which gave his own flesh and organs to heal other people
But when yharim waged war against him too, he was eventually revived into a ritual as a mindless god of blood, which butchered everything
Do not eat the zombie.
yum yummy
It's only fair
He's like Wolverine if he donated organs and turned into a zombie.
And wasn't Canadian.
I don't know if Agnus was an alcoholic.
uhmm gulp does he know
Are there any bosses wherein, the player killing them is immoral?
Aquatic Scourge did nothing wrong.
Also here's agnus
Calamitas Clone should be spareable, dammit!
Aquatic did nothing but is also animal so its questionable
Wror
Maybe lunatic cultist
RoR? Like the upcoming game?
Being able to spare bosses would go so hard, honestly
why are your images so low res
You can already spare one.
Reign of Yharim?
Supreme Witch, Calamitas.
Can you choose to not spare her as well, though?
And your mum
Flymeal
I got the acronym's mixed up RoR is Risk of Rain, not Reign of Yharim!
You could argue that aquatic scourge, and lunatic cultist didn't really do much bad
Aquatic scourge did nothing wrong, lunatic cultist was an actual benefit as iirc he was keeping the seal on Moonlord (Fovos corpse). But on the other hand the dragon cult for a time was buddy with yharim and had the dungeon so
Lunatic Cultist commited war crimes.
guys why are we ignoring the bee
source?
Final Phase: Pelting Supreme Calamitas with a billion rotten eggs
He was Yharim's ally.
Let yharim do them in their home for a while
Who is Mr. Warcrimes.
right that
TBF, they did complain about the state of the prisoners iirc
Well, I guess if you want to kill the Moon Lord, then the Lunatic Cultist could be seen as someone getting in your way'
Yeah cause it was creating polterghast
Polterghast probably ate a couple cultists, you know how it is.
There was no proof moonlord wasnt in its prime
Killing cultist could have legit ended the world
Do we know if it's because of that or because of the state of the prisoners in general?
They asked Yharim to deal with Polterghast.
'The dragon cult was furious, their leader demanding I put the haunt down myself.'
I'm guessing there's no clear lore reason why the Terrarian risked bringing the Moon Lord back, then?
YOU DECIDE
To get Yharim's attention, or whatever you want.
I guess I mean, I'm unsure on what the 'good guy' angle would be

Well, learning what the dragon cult did for example , and wanting revenge
You can claim you didn't know what would happen
Like, you have NO IDEA they're keeping Moonlord away
Okay, but then there's the issue of uh, risking the entire planet
The ever helpful Amidias:
Oh he tells you that? Fuck
Doesnt confirm you come across that dialogue
I also imagine the cultists themselves would mention it at some point
Just saying it is entirely possible to know in the current version.
Like, as you're killing them like "You fool!!!"
'How do you know?'
im not gonna lie who actually talks to that guy
Me =]
Who reads the dialogue
fr
Sadly mostly outdated
Dang...
iirc
melon. wraith
The devs need a writing team 😭
They're putting Amidias into the torment nexus I hear.
should we subject this user to the Doc
they do!
They do.
they have 3 of users who do all the lore
smh they need to give us a lore site
Also update the in-game dialogue, the scoundrels
They have one
Well uh. Yeah' 
A lot of stuff has been made up to date but just hasnt been put into the game because the next update has been taking
Over a year
Ahh, fair fair
this channel summarized
We got an idea of when the update will release or is it just 'ready when it's ready' for now?
THE MELON WRAITH!?
When its ready is always the answer
the melon wraith.

Cal dont do release dates
real
melon
In the meantime, maybe I'll make a Calamity/Terraria Texture Pack because that sounds fun to learn =3
Hi, so, the cultists on the Cal lore actually are The Dragon Cult? Sorry if my english is bad, today I'm not using the translator-
Gun
Yeah
News: Exists.
Correct!
Also
How
Wha
you’re like the only people who actually discuss lore here
you two talk the most nowadays ngl
yes
I can't find one though' I don't mean a full retexture, but like, texture tweaks
Was Xeroc from the dragon cult?
Guy predates them i think?
After the Drunk Princess' fortunate demise, someone else need take the mantle of they who breasts boobily' Though uh, I don't think that's feasible for Calamity actually...
They are de womening most elementals
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
YOU WILL GET BIBLICAL ANGEL CLOUD ELEMENTAL
key word "most"
Silva and brimmy staying woman
Brimmy getting clothed
BUT THE PRETTY LADIES NOOOO
Anahita¿?
oh so Anahita is turning into something crazy
Okay so, I guess I'm giving Amidias the Drunk Princess' boobs

Since there are no women on the cast
Cloud and sands are being changed
And earth
Calamitas
Calamitas is a thingamajig
?
I don't wanna give Calamitas boob mostly
Wait wha
Not sure why but it doesn't feel right
Why you doing that
She is aro ace
Why you giving someone tgat
Someone needs to take up the Drunk Princess' mantle
jdvpsuadfghnpiav
do not
Not after what the Drunk Princess did.
I think there's a misunderstanding'
I'm just making a joke about giving Amidias breasts because he's a seahorse'

no
Not to my knowledge.
he wasnt
thanks qwp
i doubt the dragon cult existed then
ill take it
^
AND SOLD!!!!!!!
Oh
Wawa
Wait, where is it stated that Calamitas is aroace?
Dev.

Dev stuff
silva is all mine tho
That's so epic
Also a person commonly in this chat is literally calamitas
So is Draedon a Human or a weird robot?
we get it melon
Once a Human, now a robot, or just a robot from the very beginning?
Might be his own creator due to botched mind transfer
draedon is something
We dunno
vaguely so
-# Is Draedon aroace too or can I gaze upon the metal man longingly?
Not guaranteed so a might
draedon is whatever
Sapiosektual perhaps.......
Dreadon is like, Dr Gero
Draedon will do anything ti advance science
he'll be -sexual but only for the sake of knowledge
Including competitive slavery

The Draedon design is inspired from Ultrakill? Gabriel
im on about plague
melon,,,
Is the bandit non-binary or gender unknown?
ts bubonic
Nb
Yeah.
Omni what i said is in relation to this
