what is it w water always attacking the reading comprehension
You could name the boss 'Not The Eye of Cthulhu' and people would ask about Cthulhu.
while not knowing what a death of the author is at that 
I know what that means.
Boiling you.
You could name the boss "Eye of WaterWraithGaming" and that might make people realize, "hey, maybe cthulhu might be not canon"
canon is what i like it be
ok john xeroc
People will ask if the Devourer of Gods eats gods.
which means green rathalos is canon as i speak
thank u :D
False6. Jen loves baseball.
They will simply begin saying WaterWraithGaming must also be Cthulhu, somehow.
Because he's called "Devourer of Gods"
what did you expect
It to be obvious.
tbf your name is water and wraith
people do ask if dog eats gods
I am aware.
I am also aware.
and you could, even if its a stretch, say those words apply to Cthulhu.
So yeah that's on me
Exactly.
But even if it was 'Eye of Monsters', people will go for Cthulhu because that's what it was called in Vanilla.
make eoc funny floating teto drills
No
Good point, and thats probably why Calamity won't rename vanilla bosses
Renaming them could also risk causing confusion for new players.
What if they just made Cthulhu like a distant relative of ml that xeroc slimed out and the remains are roaming terraria
oh my god kozz did it
Finally, a good explanation.
It's just Terraria's old one.
It works
horror
ok what if instead it's just
Give the EoC a new phase between eye-form and mouth-form where it grows a nose
eoc was part of ml's army
and to this day roam the land
bc they were never fully cleared out
There was layers to this idea anyhow
make cthulhu nakarkos duh
That's just making Cthulhu canon.
What's your problem with Cthulhu
if by canon you mean the big beam nakarkos shoots then yea
did he obliterate your village and consigned your kin to horrible fates so badly that you want him to suffer that 1000-fold
yes, he didn't even spare the babies
Because randomly dropping in public domain characters half-way into writing something out of nowhere doesn't seem like the greatest writing plan.
now turn him into a pile of literal bones
Dracula boss when?
Or should Mickey Mouse be an integral character?
That's just your personal taste.
Is everyone from the eclipse event non canon
ANYWAYS
The eclipse is real.
Not the people.
They're figments of your imagination.
Along with Christmas and Halloween.
Along with Metal Gear.
is that whay they are?
I'm making a joke.
Since the intended lore of EoC and BoC is that they're the essence of dead gods becoming alive on their own, and the Eye of Cthluhu does genuinely resemble a minion summoned by Moon Lord, I could see people conflating the god-spawned monstrosity with the eyeballs summoned by the monster from space that resembles a mythical sea monster
oh whats the main god behind eye of cthulhu
im fovos
and since I'm sure Wraith isn't getting it, said sea monster is mythical, i.e. it does not exist
we dunno
Eye of Cthulhu is only really implied to be from dead gods.
aww
So it's just the 'Cthulhu means monster' explanation.
ok goodnight it's 4 am 💤😴
sleep
good night!
Go back to bed, I think you're a little too mad today.
Stop.
what did i do!!!!!!!
Post that thing.
this is blasphemous
WaterWraithGaming after being rude for 1 hour:
happens to the best of us
i know everything baout xeroc because i am xeroc
Hello Yharim.
xeroc when i paint my equipment in vantablack
That would kill you.
What a peculiar creature! I shall dissolve it in fancy magically-enhanced acid
🌞
terrarian is you sticker or smth
depends
🔥🪨💎 🦋➡️😺
does moving at the speed of light necessarily mean you have hyper fast reflexes
the terrarian decides if Xeroc moves at the speed of light
more than likely, yes
I'd hope so.
i kinda get what wwg says bc vantablack absorbs light
No because Vantablack is like, cancerous or something?
so it means xeroc's attacks fully get you
asking a genie for superspeed but it goes so fast and you dont expect it so you just become paint on a wall
it can be
I don't remember the specifics.
i already lwk beat it
now i need to beat xeroc so
🔥
you beat cancer!?
if you inhale too much of it yes you will get lung cancer but generally if you know your way around it you should be fine
how fast would you actually need to hit something to be reduced to liquid
ill know on the 4th (basically tmrw)
but most likely yes
genuinely praying for u
Messed up question.
Depends.
however fast you would need to hit something for the blow to transfer enough energy to bring something to its melting point
do you think he could accelerate normal matter to relativistic speeds
like matter approaching light speed
They control light, not matter.
aww.. so they couldnt like, generate enough energy to like super charge a normal matter projectile?
Can a nuclear bomb be used to fuel a car?
Yes
Concerning.
if you could harvest the energy
My car harvests nuclear bomb explosions just fine
okok let me ask this,
can Xeroc produce infinite primordial light
or does he run out
and have to recharge through means
idk like eating or something
or does he just naturally generate infinite primordial light
I would assume that Domains give the greatest amount of control of what they're related to, and don't just give infinite power.
However, I'd assume Xeroc is so powerful that running out and needing to recover is not exactly an issue either way.
yeah alright, what about exo prisms producing infinite energy tho?
didnt that come from godly power?
Exaggeration.
Near limitless, not literally infinite.
It would violate thermodynamics.
last i checked they just say limitless, period
It wouldnt be too farfetched to say divine power ignores the laws of thermodynamics would it?
Draedon also brings up DoG would be violating thermodynamics if he was actually destroying energy.
which is a pretty important distinction considering that both when speaking about calamitas and auric souls, both bestiary and yharim specify "nigh" limitless, further pointing to this being intentional on the writers' behalf
then i think this says something about the world of calamity
why is providence so angry at night
'Unless he blatantly defied the laws of thermodynamics, which is most unlikely, the mass-energy must have been transferred elsewhere. Where to, I am not sure. I doubt this matter will ever be resolved now that the Devourer has been culled.'
The answer is simple.
She isn't.
It's an outdated game mechanic.
Blue Providence has nothing to do with the time of day.
there's also to consider that this doesn't rule out draedon himself breaking the laws,,,
so exo prisms DO produce infinite energy?
draedon is also the last character im expecting to speak in hyperbolic terms about something like this
I am trying to avoid using dev statements since I'm sure one of them did just say infinite power isn't really a thing.
alrighty
furthermore, he states this on sea prisms
The Ilmeran crystals that you know as "Sea Prisms" are self-illuminating and provide a weak electric charge indefinitely, even when tapped by circuitry.
"weak electric charge indefinitely", that, by any and all means, is what infinite energy is
dev statements moment when you have the character outright describe it to you
right before saying that, he also says this
After experimentation with a plethora of different candidates failed to bring results, I chose to approach the problem of limitless power more directly.
hey that would mean that, given enough time, draedon could use that energy to charge a lump of mass to near light speed, and the make a relativistic kill vehicle
planetary calamity inbound
he also describes the exo-prisms like this
Exo Prisms emit a self-sustaining resonance of particles that is unlike any other phenomena I have observed.
"self-sustaining", that, once again, is limitless energy
There is the consideration that the amount of energy is so vast that depleting it is in practice impossible, and as such Draedon isn't aware it could be depleted.
i doubt this is the case because then it wouldn't be described as self-sustaining
i did already talk about hypotheticals on how limitless energy could work scientifically in sscls, though i dont think that's the concern
if anything, the concern would be the aforementioned thing on DoG
Either way, it requires Draedon to be wrong.
Either violating thermodynamics is not as big a concern as he presents, or he has not made infinite energy.
Unless he blatantly defied the laws of thermodynamics, which is most unlikely, the mass-energy must have been transferred elsewhere.
Though Yharim once believed that the essence he devours is utterly and completely erased from existence, it is a fundamental rule of creation that energy cannot be destroyed– it can only be transferred from one form to another.
however, remember what i said earlier about the world of calamity, how this would speak more about it than draedon
read carefully the second line
Are you claiming that Exotic Resonance is drawing energy from a different location, or the more concerning that energy cannot be destroyed but can be created, which I'm sure would have exceedingly concerning ramifications.
I guess this is because what DoG would be doing is destroying energy, rather than creating it (hence only mentioning destroying), but Draedon doing self-sustained energy implies the latter option you mention
"Energy can neither be created nor destroyed" would be if this was 1:1 to real life laws
Exotic Resonance functioning like Cyclops' eye lasers wouldn't be the worst explanation for how it works.
now, if energy can be created through specific means, but not destroyed, what would this mean for calamity
reverse heat death, maybe
That is one.
but then there's the distortion
heat death but not because it cold but because it Hot
greendeed
Cold death, because there is no more cold.
i think the distortion is key to this so we're gonna have to wait for more info on it
but for now, my main assumption is that energy in calamity can be created and that's the pinnacle of the energy race in the world of calamity but not destroyed
Then there's the question about why is infinite energy contained in sea prisms of all things.
this is dev statement stuff, but if i recall it had to do w otonilou
so then this points fingers to gods, and likely dragons too
In such case, how did Otonilou achieve it, since Auric Souls are 'nigh limitless', and Godly Souls being capable of it doesn't seem to have a good reasoning.
yea that's the interesting part
id say the quick answer would be magic like doobie says
magic isnt the whole story theres obv something more going on there but the quickest and easiest answer is just a whole fuckton of magic
but i proved my limitless energy thing in part because of wording throughout calamity being consistent about things not being truly limitless with the only exception being draedon, so it makes one think
how did we go from nigh-limitless auric souls to limitless object that's indirectly derived of them,,,
we might wanna point fingers to otonilou in specific then
either her, or her domain of electricity as a whole
though i think the answer might lie somewhere in her using her domain in an unique manner
to allow this
The options primarily are:
Otonilou was unusually powerful.
Draedon is wrong.
Draedon is exaggerating.
Exotic Resonance is actually teleporting energy from somewhere else, meaning production of energy isn't a concern.
how much pressure would you have to put exo energy under to even attempt to exhaust it
if it's infinite it's never exhausting
At least as hard to push an Auric Dragon's, a God's or Calamitas' power to exhaustion.
xeropc
what i believe is she likely found a funny loophole in physics to do this,,,
I guess Draedon could also just be lying so you don't figure out a weakness of his machines, since he would likely want to challenge you in the future.
i havent read the draetalk dialogue in a while, does he not at least say something like that about the mechanical trio compared to the exos?
maybe it's to do with my hypothetical limitless energy thing; found a way to invert spacetime folds to let energy in instead of out, the problem is that this means that conservation of energy in calamity isn't truly a thing and gradually leaks out regardless
especially if his thought process is that theres just so much energy in those crystals that, while it may not be infinite, the energy will last far longer than any reasonable person would ever expect a fight to last
for context on what i was talking about, my hypothesis for spacetime inversion working uses this as a basis
He sought to remove their free will in future projects.
with the wulfrum prosthetic i wonder how the power of exo energy could be used with enhancing physical properties or if there's a hard limit to it
all i can say about limitless energy and the law of conservation in calamity rn is that both otonilou and distortion are likely important players here
the idea of "oh hes lying so you dont exploit a weakness" doesnt work if said weakness is the fact that after multiple years or decades or even centuries of constant activation power in the exos will run out
thats not something anyone can reasonably plan around in their own favor
rly hoping we get stuff on this in the future rather than just leaving us in a mysterious bubble that kinda contradicts itself
well, ultimately there isn't anything wrong w how things are now since, physics in fiction lol, but
:3
like if you took out a lot of a human body and turned it into machine how far could it go in surpassing a full human
We already know this is the case
Conservation of energy doesn't exist in calamity
Either that or reversing entropy is possible consistently and at large scale
This is more of my opinion because honestly, I think Draedon is (a bit frustratingly) the rulebreaker when it comes to neatly organized universal limits
But I'd say it's the latter, though it's not as easily as it seems
There is one factor that is often overlooked when discussing the second law:
How does ordinary magic work under it?
Either it doesn't and the second law is wrong (despite being mentioned by an omniscient source), or it still works and Calamity's reality is a lot weirder than it seems at first glance
hi stip
may I ask a question about draedon?
Sure!
Do we even have a clue how anything magic related works aside from using mana and having better knowledge can make you better like permafrost mentions?
I don't think so
It's quite mysterious currently
is his recon body made from dubious plating?
Yeah from what I remember only really stuff related to permafrost and calamitas ever hint at stuff aside from mana related stuff.
Hmm
Maybe partially
That's not really something we established
Probably more like the rover bots
I forgot what they’re called
whos noxus 
you mean aoe?

Distortion creature that's really powerful and DoG's "Master", being the one the divine essence DoG eats is siphoned to
We don't really know much more than that as it is intentionally kept vague ingame as of now
Tbh I thought Noxus had a relation to the Astral Infection, guess I was wrong
could not be less related
That shit was in old as fuck lore
Calamity lore has gone through an essentially full rewrite
Yeah, I wasn’t around for that so when I was newer I probably accidentally consumed lore videos that were outdated…
huh? idr that
it must've been post goozma right
Yeah when Noxus was still a bomb made of dark god corpses
It also emanated astral infection
what

oh fabsol you continue to astound me
the fuck is a silken phantom
Oh! @cosmic zenith I have another question about draedon if you're available
Would it be feasible for someone to salvage parts of recon bodies and build a new draedon-like being from them?
(maybe I shouldn't ping for that, sorry)
I'm not Venus but I presume while you could rebuild the body, it wouldn't have the artificial intelligence
So it'd be like a body without a brain
And even just to rebuild it properly it'd probably take quite a bit of skill in mechanics depending on how badly it's broken
I specifically mean to replicate the brain parts
I'm wondering if you could put draedon brain "cells" back together into a new mind
Well a recon body probably doesn't even need a brain
Just something to communicate with the central intelligence
Is there a central intelligence?
A centralized intelligence is more vulnerable. I would expect draedon to have expanded it's mind from it's original single body into a network
Well I doubt you can properly fit the entirety of draedon's intelligence within a recon body with other functions too
Hardware still occupies space
Maybe it's not just ONE central intelligence and it's a few
But still
Draedon started in a single body. We know this
I'm making an educated guess that the subsequent bodies are based on this original one
Why would they
I presume recon bodies are fitted for recon
I'm not venus either, but I personally interpret it that Draedon is the only successful AI over hundreds of years just because his builder sacrificed their own soul to make it
Souls in calamity is a special resource, like gods turn dragonic souls into their unique godly powers, without getting occupied by the dragon's mind
Draedon himself also tried to build machines with souls, and the mech bosses doesn't inherit any mind but only have a vague aim of attacking non-Yharim beings
Then I think it's completely possible that the builder of Draedon consumed their own soul to build this extremely good AI
The rest of the world doesn't have advanced technology. I don't think it has anything to do with souls
Regular souls aren't that special in calamity as far as we know. Only auric souls are
Yeah i'll give Ben that Draedon's soul or lack thereof isnt really a relevant part of the equation
& while I am also not Venus, given 'Draedon' is a collective network, I imagine the recon bodies are only outfitted with basic recievers for piloting automatically or manually by the Draedon AI
Maybe if you ripped up & re-built a server stored in one of his labs that are a part of this network you could hypothetically create a new AI
but it's very up in the air
We don't actually know whether draedon is a network and we don't know which things contain the brains if so
It seems likely
It would be even easier if the lab servers are his neurons though
At the same time, it's "main" mind must be able to fit in a single body, because that's how it started
I wouldn't agree with that
We know Draedon is a collective, whether he's stored on a server or not
He may have started small but you need to consider the fact that he, y'know, grew
So, my headcanon is that draedon has a single main body somewhere that does most of the thinking, but has replicated their "brain" material in smaller quantities to run specific tasks and machines
Given his incredible wealth of information there would inherently need to be something larger or several things spread over it to store that information
Did draedon actually grow or was his original mind capable of all that learning? A human brain can store a lot of information too.
Thats true, but consider he has been alive & learning for, what, 600 years?
Though thats fair
It's easier to interpret anything like to have a 'main body' over a formless transcience
Well
Kind of
The main body thing is likely only the case because he started out that way, and it would be more compatible
I imagine it could also be like a rain world iterator, where there are giant "brain cells" comparable to individual brains sitting around that all connect together
I like to imagine he keeps his 'main body' in good condition out of attachment over anything else
But given Draedon is Draedon I imagine he's created something more compatible with his own neurology than what he started with
also
aren't his exo prisms literally his brain's computational power in the palm of your hand?
imagine if he hooked up even 10 of em
It'd make sense, I think.
ive always thought them as similar to quartz
not even I would say that 😭
Can you not
not even incattus would say that
☹️
Be more like Incattus.
hi never say that again please thanks
chat what is his significance to cal lore
slüg
i kinda love it
remind me of exo slug in three hours
(Make it canon, devs)
Slime god if irl
im absorbing these ideas, call me the auric soul of gluttony
We should name this guy and make him Dradeon's unofficial (maybe official soon) pet
I was thinking Dradeon would name him Globulus or something idk
what was horridly said earlier
i thought you were talking about my thing and i was like "whats wrong with quartz"
We would get shot if we told yyou
whats the most general topic
draedon cave
a comment regarding the correlation of the exo prisms to the bodily functions of draedon
I cant get more specific or garbos gonna assassinate me
maybe its tasty (i know what they said)
insert image of guy saying makima is listening
you mean kishibe?
It from chainsawman
praise be to space king
Dont think calamity has any 3D modelers
calamity should merge with wotg
their lores conflict
they should team up with fargos developmentwise
get a jumpstart for the stuff after sso
ragebait moment
go ask GaMeterraria for help on the 3d modeling 🙏
Not quite, since they wouldn't be able to replicate the Draedon AI
You might salvage the tech needed to run it, but not the AI itself
making a wulfrum level draedon ai
it just keeps talking about toast
actually, of all the mechanical gizmos we muck around with that arent just blueprints, whats the most impressive technical things we've made
like id say the wulfrum stuff is pretty decent
Well the miracle matter stuff
Canonically we make it
i thought we blueprinted that!
And it's something draedon hasn't managed to make either
we concocted that outselves ????
No we're the first person ever to STABILIZE miracle matter
Which is also why we get to name it
i remember reading a while back summin like "draedon trying to be cool and calculating but also seething his gizmos slick and clean over us naming it fucking "miracle matter""
draedon watching us basically just smash things really really really hard together and synthesizing maybe one of the most technologically potent material ever seen since the worldsoul
the same guy who drank water underwater and the same guy who ate literal rocks
Miracle Matter uses Auric Tesla to stabilise, something hard to both obtain and use. That's why Draedon couldn't have done it first, assuming he even knew Exo Prisms would do that if melted before testing the Exo Mechs.
And also the 500 other magic stuff only we have
I'm sure Draedon can figure out how to smash souls together he's done it before. Smashing dragon soul juices into dragon rocks is a bit harder.
does yharon's soul regenerate even if we got some pieces of it
I imagine yeah otherwise limited rebirths
Oh god I forgot that "Globulus" comes from that 
gulp shitto requires gleebglorb to stabilise it
Ts was too diabolical
why'd you need to mention the user being trans??? its not relevant at all
i will refrain from explaining
elaborate
is that guy from monster hunter
what do you think
i think i remember the character design from one of the Story's games trailers
I don't remember Espinas in Stories
ESPINAS!!!!
Greendeed
im gonna be real it looks worse for you to not elaborate than actually elaborating
True
What do you main?????
I doubt ggg meant much w that
Lance or LS depending
yeah im just on a hair trigger when it comes to singling people out
Honestly I like how the Lance weapons look like, just not really my gameplay

I'm kinda like
moving between weapons
I just can't decide on which one I like most
Especially since some monsters just downright make me mad at the weapon I was trying to main (Fuck you Barioth)
Barioth,,,,
cus most of the time its thinly veiled transphobia
I was enjoying hammer until this fucker showes up in my story
He's p annoying unless it's in Sunbreak w LS
I get you but I get the feeling the entire message is meant to be articulate w the pointing out what exactly happened
Iceborne Barioth,,,
yeah but why point out the trans part in the first place
that is my point here
Reminds me of how DoG tailors his hatred for whomever he's insulting 
What I said methinks
He was being weirdly specific on everything so that's awkward
oh i see
I'd still like it if elaboration was given when asked thou
All i can say is there a known stereotype in lgbtq+ groups i am associated with of the 'freaky trans women', claiming a large subsection of trans women are what would be considered sexual deviants
Huge lore drop
it was meant to be a lighthearted comment to direct them to appropriate spaces for those kind of jabs & jokes i swear i am NOT transphobic please believe me
why single it out? theres literally no point in doing that
I can buy you
i can also buy it it just feels odd
im being put on trial
Started here
This is a bad time.
Yes that's the part I think mattered more gng
I'll go back to war.
The judge has decided
the "freaky trans person" part is also kinda Weird but especially don't restate what something said when that thing gets deleted
You are sentenced to 10 rounds of Eschaton Judgment by elementless Alatreon
cause something being deletd usually happens for a Reason
I mean im just glad i didnt get executed
im gonna go back to my consortium of ghouls & lay low for a while so i dont get murdered or cancelled
executes you
irked
im sonic.executing you
Pretty sure buying people is slavery
titan xeroc
Add the roleplay to calamity
what if you bought someone to free them from slavery
Why would you do that?
it was the only way to do it back in the day
Idk but LeBron James said something about slavery being bad in 1969
generosity
What is the lore reason behind Fulghor from Nightreign wielding something similar to Xeroc's sigil made entirely of light
Yharim thinks that slavery is bad. Are you Yharim?
you dont know that
LeBron James === Yharim
New lore confirmed
did you know that the creator of lobotomies did his last ever lobotomy in 1967
can we revive him to save cst
oh the ice pick guy
Looks a bit like Providence
Trurure!
lea how do you feel about melon harnessing your spores
A host specimen is always welcome
Speaking of monster hunter
I've been endlessly searching for someone to play it with me
I've been basically playing solo so far
Didn't finish Iceborne yet
and I still have Rise/Sunbreak to play
Would you...be willing...? 🥹
Monster hunter worlds is peak
Goog
I was doing a 2nd iceborne playthrough w a friend (i actually started it over a year ago b took a break) and just got to MR100, was supposed to prep for Ala
So maybe
Not rn tho
👍

Hallo chat it’s my Birthday!!!! And now I go right back to the break
happy birthday
Happy birthday
hap birf
incattus propaganda confirmed?
yharim's army was paid exclusively in firm handshakes & tender kisses on the cheek from yharim
they should have an item that lets you see everything as true objective fact, but also makes the entire world very very pastels
so you have it and can read the yharim bits as actual truths, but its said in like. a toddlers manner
"my awmees were vewy vewy stwong, and dey masscwed all in dew paff."
i thought thats just how gay people on discord speak
Why didn't yharim kill prov
sneaky
Ain't she just in a temple tho
Oh wait that's infernum
Disregard last
Okay but like he had a whole army just split up a search team
if my target was on the moon
how would i do that with 2 trillion foot soldiers
besides if they spread out
what is like 20 yharmy guys gonna do
get incinerated and then she leaves
Apart from some very high top tiers of the yharmy like dog or yharon providence would just nuke the yharmy and teleport away or somethjng
what would the yharmy people be equipped with tho
the draedon guns
providence with prep time
Look at arsenal gear
and she also is a bat
Literally only the top strongest godseeker knights could rival her if the arsenal gear is equal to what terrarian makes
Thats just eternal flame from embers
if i was a yharmy guy and i saw provi id probably just freeze and get incinerate
shes a fuckin god how could they kill her, what a grand and intoxicating innocence
fuck this tesco brand lager
ipa
why didnt providence just kill some people and absorb 7 human souls to become god of hyperdeath to solo the verse
Because she’s a bum
She is a human
Humans cant absorb other human souls
but she is a god
not human
Still not a monster
so shes a bum
why didnt silva just kill some people and absorb 7 human souls to become god of hyperlife to solo the verse
idk man she has a champion to kill yharim for her
so like
maybe she actually hates certain people
i thought silva was morally good
but is it really
yes
Id say killing john racism and genocide is good yeah
i dont think killing is morally good
#saveyharim2028
some murder is very justified
still morally bad
some murder is very justified
oh yea forgot real people exist
@grok is this true
Did the devourer of gods eat the god of brainrot
You're wrong
Would yharim beat sonic exe if he's a god
I don't believe there was a god of brainrot fortunately
If it can easily kill tails and knuckles, both of whom are incredibly powerful on their own right due to keeping up with the monster that is sonic, im not too sure
What about the manifestation of strength and chaos known as nessaj the chaos knight
never heard of them
I'd like to confirm if the new legend is more popular abroad? Because in China, almost everyone I see is a supporter of the old legend.
Prolly not then
Over in this chat the new lore is much more favoured in my experience
We are deeply disgusted by this, because we have always felt that the new version of the legend is associated with certain politically correct elements.
However, it is also possible that some updates were released later in China, resulting in players being unaware of the new character design patches.
I specifically sent it to Google Translate to translate into Chinese, and it was still understandable before I sent it
I didn't expect there would still be a problem?
legend = lore i assume
😭
Yes
In our area, these two words have the same meaning.
fair enough
I think I have to go now; I won't be back for another 13 hours.
the legend of the Delta Rune
I'm unsure on what you mean by "politically correct elements"
i honestly think we should just leave it for now
there might be lost-on-translation aspects but i assume that
anyways, user won't be back for another 13 hours so
who cares if they are, its not something that we can change
¯_(ツ)_/¯
woker
(besides its kinda fun to chew on)
Its fun to imagine your pfp bouncing around forever stuck in a cube
too much gay people (1 couple)
he they xeroc
its real funny though
Aro ace scal
yharim doesnt use enough ethnic slurs
I think that was in the old lore too.
Exactly, how can Mr. Racism not be using slurs. The writers need to step up their game and make him like, 12% more racist.
yharim needs to study the intricacies of lihzhard culture to be racist more accurately
well not to generalize but south-east asia is hardly acclaimed for its progressive policies
though uh, i'm assuming this did not intend to come across as that blunt
soooo
what happens in calamity
:3
i kill all boss up to yharon and i not know what the freak happen or that there was a story :3
you kill ALOT of random animals
Ilmerian Citizen banner
Like a few thousand years ago, a bunch of dragons found the core of the planet, the 'World Soul', which split into fragments that the dragons claimed as their own, melding the fragments with their own souls to create 'Auric Souls', & granting them power over the respective souls domain
I wonder what Calamitas did with hers 
Like y'know how Yharon is the Dragon of Rebirth there were tons of others too like the Dragon Of Flames, Dragon of Primordial Light, Dragon Of Storms, so on so forth
Speaking of that second guy, his name was Zeratros, who claimed the strongest domain of Primordial Light, that allowed him to freely control the light of the sun
In Calamity the sun produces a unique kind of light & it's the only one in existence, though other celestial bodies exist
Anyway he became defacto Dragon King, & he was pretty good at it, until Prime Moon Lord showed up (went by Fovos then) & killed like, so many dragons with death lasers that uber-fucked their souls & prevented Yharon from reviving them
Including Zeratros, who was mortally wounded in the conflict after they scraped open his skull, ripped off his legs & removed all of his organs before sealing him inside the moon
His loyal confidant & monk, who was bonded to his very soul, some guy named Xeroc went to his death-bed alone with dubious or undubious intentions (we do not know), eventually claiming Zeratros's Auric Soul & melding with it, becoming the first God
in lore items
from my point of view im just killing shit
you got ALL OF THAT from the boss drops?
& the draedon dialouge
the wat
after you beat exomechs you can use the codebreaker to hit up draedon on whatsapp
he tells you about shit
for the most part, it can be pieced together that way, yeah
In particular you would look to the Moon Lord, Boss Rush, Yharon, & one of the other ones I forgot that you get after triggering one of the 'interim' tracks to get this information
Anyway
So people realised you could use Auric Souls to become a God with an ancient heretical ritual, & with Dragon society on the brink of collapse, the Dragon Hunts began
They lasted 800 years & now every Auric Dragon except for Yharon is dead/eaten
Also alot of normal dragon species because people are very stupid & dont know the difference
The Dragonfolly is an example of this, they became hyperaggressive in order to survive the hunts
so is this all before terrarian
Yeah long before
why terrarian kill everything
We jump ahead those 800 years though
Thats up to you
@split mortar LEA, GET THE IMAGE
i just want the damn signalis summon and now i gotta kill a god dragon man what da helli
Anyhow, some important Gods before we continue
Xeroc, God Of Primordial Light, he is currently training like Goku in the Time Chamber but in the sun to prevent any more Moon Lord-esque apocalyptic events
Silva, Goddess Of Life, she was broiled & got her teeth kicked in by Yharim before getting thrown into the abyss, her blossoming corpse is the reason planty mush exists as she very very slowly revives
(Speculated, Xeroc's current location or activity is unknown.)
(Completely accurate and literal.)
Agnus, God Of Sacrifices, he stood against Yharim's crusade & was murdered, but his loyal groupies dragged his corpse back to their sacred temple where in a desperate gambit they sacrificed themselves to revive him, their souls tainted by hatred ressurecting him as the God Of Blood, Ravager
By the way, Yharim's the guy that talks to you in the lore items
Yharim is the BAD guy.
Do not take what he says at face value.
Because he's BAD.
Otonilou, Goddess Of Electricity, & Tyrian, God Of The Sea, a duo that protected the city that was broiled & became the Sunken Sea, Illmeris, they were slaughtered by Calamitas while she was under Yharim's command
With those established, we now jump 800 years later
To clarify, Xeroc became a god 850 years ago, the Crusade stuff was last 106 years.
What's your question?
None.
Wait I thought each of the exos had smt other than prismis too
The cult of the God Of Dogma successfully slay Yharon & capture his egg from the Dragon Aerie before he can revive, one of the cultists, raised into this life from birth, currently unnamed, is chosen to ascend with the use of Yharon's egg, but he rejects this cruel slaughter, & in his petulant rage, the God Of Dogma demands him to be thrown into the flames of hell along with the egg, & he is
There is dogma in calamity??
The souls in the original mechs were a weakness according to Draedon.
What the fuck is that
Hive Mind.
people when they realise dogma is a real word
But this cultists righteous spirit & the boiling lava re-awaken Yharon, who rescues his savior from his fate, fighting off the group of cultists as Yharon tells the cultist of his tale of woe
The cultist vows to avenge the Auric Dragons & slay every God, & christens himself Yharim
Together, the two begin a conflict of unthinkable scale, known as the Crusades, rallying the oppressed & the mistreated to their cause with the promise of righteous vengeance
also yharim smells
Very important, don't forget this, it's on the test.
waow are you creator of calamity lore :D
one of the three yeah hi
waow :D
Yharim is then contacted & aided by the Archmage Permafrost, alongside the A.I Draedon, who offer their greatest of strategies & council, & weapons of advanced sciences respectively
Along with a city state named Azafure that gave him an industrial powerbase.
But the Crusades did not end with the deaths of cruel & wicked Gods, & in his ignorance Yharim allowed the Corruption & Crimson to exist by leaving the rotting corpses of Gods upon the battlefields, their essence seeping into the earth & twisting it in unnatural forms
The respective 'figureheads' for the Corruption & Crimson are the God Of Dogma & the God Of War
Around 80 years later, Yharim's forces are bolstered by the Devourer Of Gods, hailing from the Distortion & lying about so much so obviously
(Date also speculation, we don't know when DoG joined.)
ill have you know i beat DOG and it only took... something like 8-10 more accessories
im scared of yharon struggle
In roughly the same timeframe, Calamitas is born as a very average human living in Azafure, with absolutely zero crazy Brimstone magic shit
10 years later, for her 13th birthday, she gets the gruesome deaths of her beloved protectors & older brothers Cataclysm & Catastrophe, & fighting to the death with the living incarnation of flame's wrath, the Brimstone Elemental
Thanks to her strong will & some genetic freakery, she held the capacity to absorb the Brimstone Magic of the Elemental directly into her bones to wield as her own as a force of unbridled devastation
(Like, a lot of that is speculation.)
Ok, no, we know she was 13 when she was recruited into the Yharmy, & because CalClone could do it, we know her magic absorption is genetic
We don't know it was her birthday, and we don't know for absolute certain the mechanism that gave her her abilities.
It is highly likely, but not provable.
the birthday bit was a joke to make the massive lore dump a bit less dry to read
Hell, we don't even know for certain about the deaths of her brothers.
They were near certainly slain by the Elemental, but we don't know if they fought her. Maybe she got them off guard for example.
???
i uh
never mentioned they fought the brimstone elemental i just said they died gruesomely
oh christ im getting off track
It looks like you did, it seems I misunderstood.
So do you
isnt bro old
old people naturally do not smell very good
eyekia to continue Calamitas was found as the would-be 'sole survivor' of Azafure by Yharim's scouts, being taken to his court where Permafrost pleaded with him to let the archmage take the girl under his wing, which he allowed, though Yharim did also convince her to partake in missions against Yharim's enemies without Permafrost's knowledge
(We don't know if she was the sole survivor, or how she ended up at his court, but yeah Yharim is a bad guy.)
(Please notice how I said 'would-be' & put sole survivor in quotation marks & stop annotating & just let me spin a narrative here)
Following this, Yharim fell into a great depression as his power peaked, he became more ruthless & careless, many believe due to the fact he realised he had not accumulated the raw strength to face Xeroc & truly end the Crusades despite his vast efforts, with Permafrost growing disillusioned with the cause, & abandoning him after Yharim commanded Calamitas to destroy Illmeris, which she did by infiltrating the city state, roughly the size of Italy, & boiling it empty over the course of 3 days
After this, in his petulant rage, Yharim commanded Calamitas to slaughter her teacher, which, unbeknownst to Yharim, she refused, by sealing him away in a block of ice that would come to be known as Cryogen
Gay people
After this Calamitas herself became disillusioned with Yharim, & abandoned the Yharmy as his empire fell into disarray, not helped by the persistent nagging of the Devourer to go out on another expedition & slay another God, leading to his further degradation, until even he himself cast off the last ally he forged across the Crusades, Draedon, after discovering his development of the Plague Nanovirus & it's usage on a Queen Bee
i actually love this storytelling, even if it's not 100% accurate
Yharim then was nearly assassinated by a homosexual couple of a twink ninja, Statis, last surviving member of the Onyx Kinsmen, who were slaughtered by Yharim while he persued the Slime God, as they followed them, & a bear paladin, Braelor, stout defender of Silva & the last to recieve her blessing to our knowledge
They almost succeeded too, but the Devourer cut in at the last minute & sent them both to the Distortion (purple dimensional fold in space) with one of his portals, where in a bid to escape with his lover, Statis sacrificed a literal arm & a leg to Signus, who decieved him, sending only Statis back to the Heartlands (the contineant in which Calamity takes place), leaving Braelor trapped within the Distortion
braelor is a hunk not a bear
Reflecting on his past actions, & feeling some distant twinge of regret, Yharim abandoned his army once & for all, going with Yharon to the Dragon Aerie, where he reminisced & almost realised he was a bad person for 6 months, until suddenly, the Terrarian inexplicably appears, & the Calamity Mod begins
@leaden spruce there you go thats all major events & characters covered
you did NOT have to write all that for one person
however, that was VERY FIRE and you cooked extremely well
thanks 🫡
thats fair its alot to take in
but you now have a general knowledge of the key points & figures of calamity lore
If you have any specific questions feel free to ask
okeyj, thank you :)
Ok then I will need a new explanation for someone else making a sapient robot
Why didn't calamitas use on us the same attack she did to explode italy
Awwww
How do you know she was 13?
I mean
You could make a sapient robot
Making Draedon is an entirely different echelon of technology
Draedon was a sapient robot six centuries ago, and he (who quickly became the most technologically advanced being on the planet) continuously improved himself since then
They're supposed to be the player, capable of self improvement but not necessarily as advanced as draedon
Ah, I see
Well, you could theoretically do that...?
But at the same time isn't that like
A person
Also, she's trying NOT to wipe civilizations off the map nowadays. It turns out it's bad for your karma or something.
Karma is fake anyways
turns out its bad for ur rep
Rep won't be affected if they don't know it's me
The terrarian isn’t Italian, probably
Get the image.
let this man know that as bad as what is happening to his words, that it is nothing compared to what I have done to amidias
this is where they are creating sso
he doesnt know
amidias was a group project
This is a shit take but this chat was so much more fun when it was in lore limbo and we would spend 2 days discussing the evolutionary lineage of fishrons because there was no concrete things to go off of
we can still do this
what rock do you think the earth elemental is made of
Yes. This is basically like MegaMan or Quote or the like
That's the idea for this character
They're a robot that was built to try and turn the tide of the war, but they were too late, or something like that
What the fuck
they grilled him in the ancient manipulator
i made that one worse
tetolian
Mega Man wasn't built for war, he was retrofitted. And Mega Man only fails in the (very) long run.
are we gonna talk about how xeroc's sigil was nearly ripped entirely from bloodborne
can't have anything originaal lmao

Did lore doc 2 come out?
nop
I think I've mentioned this in the past funnily enough
its so fabsolian lmao
they fabbed my sol
tetori
Sad
also i will give you that is true
you cannot grasp the true form of amidias' update
they can't die as long as some of their element still exists on terraria
so to permanently kill anahita you'd need to delete every water molecule
very impractical
It's like Yharon.
They can die but only under specific circumstances.
Turns WaterWraithGaming into a dev statement
WHAT THE HELL!?
mods send his ass to the submerged castle
I'm already there.
So silva previously lived as long as there were plants
Fake fan.
That's right, you're now a statement from drunk stupecca one time at 1am on discord, and no more
And now she can live as long as there is life
Yeah.
That's how she keeps getting tossed into the pit.
Am I getting it right
If she could die she'd be dead.
Quite the upgrade
Yeah but it's even harder to kill her
Unless nature means everything alive too
Are Elementals biological organisms?
Maybe they're avatars
DO NOT START THIS AGAIN!
Lmao sorry
Oh do start this again
silva is woke plant
Anyway if I recall Silva survives so long as biological life exists on Terraria.
can we trade i have a charlie kirk version of this
yeah
Ok but why couldn't silva just absorb life from around her and tank yharim
What even is the nature of her powers
No reason to believe Elementals can do that.
Yeah but she's a god
She can empower things if Primordial Wyrm is anything to go by.
dats not how it works
How much power does she have over her domain
'Nigh unlimited.'
presumably
can some one explain me about leviathan and anahita lore
Water Elemental and her pet fish.
Used to live in the Abyss.
Then Silva's body got tossed in.
Then why couldn't she just pull a mahito and move her brain into a tree or something
We waiting on a dev to read over the document and give it a thumbs up iirc
We don't know which time made her leave.
...why?
Or make a new brain
because its real fucking funny
I mean... like, the other Elementals ARE a hive mind.
is leviathan have more then 1 before ?
what?
Unknown.
Sup guys, im back with a question, is the sand elemental (from the rare elemental in a bottle) a child?
But she's also a Goddess, so like, does that inhibit the ability?
It's part of the Ground Elemental.
So, it's probably ancient.
Since its not life but nature its possible that not only is it all living things but other natural processes
Unless its said somewhere in game nature and life are basically synonymous
so what about new lore and old lore
Presumably she's in the abyss because she lost her sapience
All elementals are probably millions or billions of years okd
It's like the Brimlings, technically they are also the Brimstone Elemental.
So why couldn't she prevent that if she had nigh unlimited control over life
Used to be a siren and her best friend, a giant fish.
Thanks
Now it's the physical manifestation of water and her pet fish.
Control over life does not mean control over being sliced and diced and tossed into the pit.
so anahita now is just a living water elemental ?
Yharim is really good at concerting gods into mush
Yes.
She is the Water Elemental.
Can't die unless you destroy all water on the planet.
physical manifestation of water and her pet fish/very fish-like creation
She is weirdly weak for a full elemental i will say
the leviathan also may or may not have been created by her
we dunno
Anahita is gay
true
She is not the only manifestation of the Water Elemental, but is likely the strongest one.
Not trying very hard idk
and leviathan is created ? or born long time ago ?
We dunno
Unknown.
We were only speaking in new lore
big fish
And old lore yeah its just a big fish iirc
At one point it was half a fish.
Ig if she got ambushed...
That was weird.
It seems weird tho
But it had hype moments, and aura.
She could just feel yharim approaching since he's alive
Control over life does not mean immunity to being knocked out and tossed into a pit.
Silva is weaker then scal and her abilities are likely very support oriented
also its hardly control shes more a sum of life than sovereign over it
she can still bless shit though
Yeah but I'm arguing she could just move her brain over half the continent through the dirt or something
She's the Goddess of Life she has life powers.
What that actually entails...
Or simply run away
who is silva and what relation with anahita ?
We know she can create life, and bless life
But I don't think she can end life at will, that'd be death's domain
Fellow Elemental.
Silva is elemental of nature
she cant exactly just abandon her body
Enroached on her territory.
Not intentionally.
Anahita was driven to the other ocean.
even the elementals have tangible forms, & shes bound to her body by her God Soul
i mean she doesn't really have one aside from the entirety of the abyss atp
The better question is why.
Why she's an elemental
Which is the answer I was thinking.
Ig the god soul
Considering silva hasnt healed already over idk how many years i doubt she can just make herself a new body that quickly
And yharim is really good at tracking those
Silva is an elemental of nature, later turned goddess of life post ascension, which was hunted down by Yharim, and then thrown at the bottom of the abyss after he couldn't kill her.
She's the patron goddess of Braelor, and made his axe too
It's like he's some kind of godseeker, huh?
@uneven epoch
yeah i still reading
Yeah cause she's not sapient it's like a thousand pieces of your brain being separated they wouldn't think to refuse
also why would she need to
Yeah I meant to reply but I fucked up and replied to myself
yharim wearing one of those stupid propeller hats for toddlers & calling it his God Radar
To go and hang out with her gay friends.
it spins really fast when theres a God around
real
yeah but shits chill down there
It's really cold.
the primordial wyrm brought his own keg
She is smart enough to open chests post skeletron so eh
Yharim is the typa guy to stop mid conversation and say his god senses are tingling
Oh yeah I completely forgot about that
'GET BACK HERE SLIME GOD!
I'LL CHASE YOU TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH!'
I think you are just overestimating how strong her regen is
Let's make Yharim slander based on slime god and providence and ravager still being alive
We could do it
The domain of Life does not mean the domain of Healing.
Ravager.
Alive.
Imo her regen should be instantaneous, just make a new body and inject it with god essence
Anyway yeah people do that all the time.
But I'm not a writer so idk how it should actually work
Well we kill ravager so it is alive
I saw a post like yesterday asking why didn't he kill Providence.
You need more than just essence.
Like the soul.
And the souls are a bit unstable.
Just falls under the undead category
So, it'd probably explodes.
also shes chill
Interesting
down there
At least, for all we know this happens once a century to her.
How do you get thrown into the pit TWICE!?
The essence is the soul but kaboomed no?
tbf wasn't she minced the second time
Skill issue
If I have sawdust, do I have an intact tree?
Can I start a bonsai with that?
fire
Imagine if there was a dragon of gods that turned into the god of dragons after being absorbed
Peak.
✍️🔥
cal lore if it was good
Supposed last boss didn't kill a pre-hm boss ✌️ 😂
Yea I suck at this
Brooo let me send a gifff
