Is that what auric ore is implied to be?
If so why only appear after yharon (incoming because game mechanics in 3)
I'm not sure, but it could be because he was already shaving away at his soul while fighting you (hence yharon soul fragments)
auric ore is just evil dragon metal that appears after an auric dragon dies theres not much info around it
Which is what allowed parts of it to be absorbed into the earth
I mean that would certainly line up with the new recipe (ignore the part where if we took that literally the recipe should be the other way around)
the soul shaves when it teleports iirc
That sounds like something that only exists via word of dev
But it would make sense
Or well
No
over half the lore is word of dev
If it is I certainly think it’s a strange choice
If you wanted an attack to represent yharons soul shaving the bullet hells are right there
The other half is stuff from the Ninjago lore I've been writing into the lore docs and nobody has noticed yet.
What the hell, sure, reveal Xeroc's middle name.

That said I also think yharons soul fragmenting has its own slew of questions related to it
Don't be such a baby, soul fragments grow back.
Probably.
Eh, it'll be fine.
(no they dont)
Good point actually
Like is it his whole soul, or is it specifically just the bits of the world soul that attached to it?
By his whole soul, I meant is it taking pieces from his original soul too?
That's what the Auric Soul is.
I wish we could convince Yharon to abandon Yharim just cause it'd be funny to see him get springlocked, even if it makes no lore sense.
The result of a dragon absorbing a shard of the world soul.
I thought we just didn’t notice it this whole time
Not to mention
Yharim seems to think yharon is still capable of being reborn despite the fragment problem, would his soul simply reform? Would the resulting rebirth be impure in some way?
You didn't notice that you didn't not notice it.
His soul just does that.
He just shaves off soul pieces he regenerates while hibernating
It takes infinite soul fragments to form an auric soul
The funniest possible outcome to this is that each fragment of yharons soul is each independently capable of rebirth
New age of dragons featuring 40 different yharons
Also yeah, this begs the question of what shaving pieces of your soul away even does to you-
I imagine it'd eventually just kill him (after however many deaths), but what if he was left with half a soul?
Yharon can't be killed by killing him.
But he only can't be killed by being killed by nature of his soul, presumably
Yeah he has the power of not being killed when he's killed.
If he didn't have a soul, what would there be left to reincarnate?
after enough deaths sure hed be damn close but, to use an analogy ive used before, it would be like trying to destroy a mountain by using sandpaper
That...makes sense, but it still insinuates that the amount of his soul that'd be left to give would become smaller and smaller over time
Well he'd have no soul, so he couldn't, since has no soul that makes you not die.
Would that have an effect on him?
It never reaches 0
he would get progressively weaker
like imagine it as though his soul (and i guess strength too) gets multiplied by .999 each time
I guess you're right, but the point was moreso to ask what'd happen to him when he only has a fraction of his original soul left
it’s like stocks
Like souls aren't just described to contain your strength and powers, but also your knowledge and identity
Well, by that point, he's got bigger issues.
Would he eventually just become...not Yharon anymore? A zombie?
If you stabbed yharon in the eg in the aerie would a new one spawn in instantly
Ooh, an endless omelet trick
World hunger solved
Gonna make me a kickass Auric Quiche with this blessed phoenix egg
for an example, after he dies a hundred times he still has 90% of his soul still intact and after dying a thousand times he still has 36% of his soul left
and this is probably using a rate way higher than what actually happens
It makes sense except for the part where it probably breaks the laws of thermodynamics but who cares about those anyway
those dont matter we have them broken elsewhere
True
no he just gets weaker and weaker as he continues dying
Also to clarify, this is why I was wondering if it was pieces of his soul as a unit or pieces of the world soul shard that fused into it! Because presumably if it was just pieces of the world soul shard, he would just get weaker until he became a normal dragon, but with it being his entire soul-
Yeah, he'd essentially just lose his identity and cognizance as he weakens, which is a bit of a horrifying thought
and also identity and cognizance isnt tied to the soul
draedon we're fairly certain doesnt have one and he very much has an identity and cognizance
Are they not? When a god absorbs a soul, I'm pretty sure it also absorbs part of the mind of its respective dragon, it's just that the one who absorbs it is typically the dominant one
Which is part of why absorbing multiple is a horrible idea and almost no one did it
that's never been said anywhere??
Hasn't it?
Don't believe so.
...well damn, either I'm just crazy or I might've leaked something
Patreon lore chats and regular lore chats kind of bleed together in my memory
no that was just a really early theory for why absorbing multiple souls wasnt a good idea
Ahhh I see
I WOULD NOT EAT NOXUS

Who are you and what have you done with Melonius Gunther?
Someone can make a turret and place it on a door
One of humanities things irl is making shit stronger then we are given time and resources
Noxus is a living thing not an inedible pencil
Never stopped the REAL Melonsworth Guntholomew.
Absorbing multiple souls is a bad idea due to soun instability
An auric soul by itself is already 2 souls in one
(Dragon's original soul + World soul fragmnent)
a god, as you might ugess, is 3 (Auric, which is already 2, + Mortal's Soul)
a god absorbing another auric soul? bump that up to 5 baybe
And yeah you can see how one's physical form could quicly grow to uh
Not handle That very well
Maybe 2 auric souls is sitll not That bad. maybe oyu can still Very Mildly Function with that many but you'd still be like ouhghghghg ougg
awesome desciption of how an unstable soul would feel
it's peak
True
If absorbing multiple souls is a problem, the solution is to tie them to ropes and carry them around with you to siphon their power like a Minecraft beacon
bad idea
You get jumped by yharon
Just be flowey undertale and absorb multiple souls
Just keep your collected souls in the fridge and snack on bits of them from time to time 
And I whack him upside the head with my bundle of auric souls
You know that’ll hurt
Wont be auric souls when yharon gets there
Oh yeah, rebirth
theoretically how would one not immediately goopify
Do not ascend with multiple souls.
Past that, uh, get an emulsifier?
But then you risk hardening your heart, and then you will have a very dark soul indeed.
a what.
would you say
you have nine sols
I have a plan for that
Favorite his auric soul in my inventory, protecting it from being manipulated
Keep the essence of a mighty dragon right next to my cosmolight and old cassette
gameplay moment
Why don't YOU (Terrarian is you) put Yharon's soul in the piggy bank.
Perfect
Then I can tap into his power whenever through the quick buff keybind
Man, this “keeping godlike beings down” business is wicked easy
How did Yharim go to war over stuff like that, did he never carry cash and didn’t get the merchant to show up
New lore theory
Broke Yharim
Stupid idea
Fill the dragon aerie with conveyor belts that go to a meat grinder to farm yharon soul fragments
Reassemble all the soul fragments into a soul in a million years once yharon is permanently dead via this
But like also do experiments to figure out how to get the mortal dragon soul parts out
On the fragments
That’ll never work
The meat grinder is just a crafting station, we need the ever iconic slopes leading into a thin lava pool
Yharon got dunked in lava once, we can do it again
as stip said earlier, his soul will never disappear completely
the way ive seen soul shards has always been like
if u bruise ur arm against something little bits of skin or flesh come out
bleeds out a lil
but i mean itll regnerrate eventually so
i think i remember he said it also didn't regenerate but i might be hallucinating
Alright then, how many soul fragments do you need to cram together to make a full soul
If it doesn't get depleted, then you can eventually get two yharon souls
Granted, that also assumes they don't degrade in quality over time
Something I believe we're able to know is possible because of Aerialite
So does Yharon undergo like radioactive decay or smth
Like if he just sits around eventually he’s half as much soulful as before
Id be surprised if the amount of auric-ness isn't conserved. At the very least it should spread out into the world when decaying
Yharon himself would probably be fine, but I don't think the shavings you get from his soul would be after like...a hundred years tops
So that it technically still exists
I'm thinking about it kind of like blood, it can stay decently healthy if it stays circulating throughout your body, but once it leaves, it's pretty quick to oxidize and decay
If this decay happens regardless of how concentrated it is, then it running out is inevitable eventually
1st rule of Yharondynamics
Yharon cannot be created nor destroyed, only transferred
Although, I have a theory to explain all this
Auric substance is primordial and cannot be created or destroyed. Regular souls are continuously created inside living beings. An auric soul is just a regular soul that contains a piece of auric substance, and so it is continuously being attuned to that substance.
An attuned soul or a soul fragments is a regular soul that inherits auric properties from a full auric soul's auric substance, but without the source to replenish the attunement, it will wear off
Y'know, that makes a weird amount of sense
This model explains all known properties of auric and souls
If I remember them correctly
What’s with the property that makes it fling you across the room if you touch it
I think it's set to reject anything that's "unworthy", which is basically just anything without auric essence
yeah
Begs the question though, does auric ore reject Slime God?
i never considered if it rejects gods or not
Depends on if the auric soul within gods counts or if it being fused with a (usually) human soul dilutes it too much.
Assuming the bits of skin and lfesh and theory interpretation is correct then it could be, well
muche like the analogy
You can't really do that
If yu get a ubnch of bits of flesh and skin of an arm
you still cnat make a full arm
That is literally just my interpretation for it
though
and theres noactual solid basis
But you still don't have all the fundamental pieces that make up an Arm
the bones, the muscle, the nerves
but you dohave little bits of its flesh
Ok but what about my other Theory
maybe yours doesn't 
That could make sense
What do you guys think Yharim does all day up in the aerie, other than dropping lore tidbits when you kill something
Like, he presumably doesn’t have anyone else there to hang out with. I doubt anyone there would WANT to, so is he just like hanging out on an auric tesla bean bag or something until we show up
The woorld sould shard at the core of the otherwise mundane dragon soul making it into an auric soul by itself
plays checkers with yharon
Yharon's probably hanging out there for a while
Until his fight, that is
Can’t be, Yharim says he dipped from his side
misinterpretation
dumbass names
anyways
Yharon is Yharim's one best friend and the only one who hasn't actually left him
yharon "left him" after the fight because he'll die of old age before the revival
When Yharim says he "bade him farewell"
its because
well
You fucking kiled him 😭
Don’t worry, he’ll get better
He will, but Yharim is aware he'll die before then
He won't be able to live to see Yharon return
dude's like 130
That's where the line comes from
The entire reason Yharon fights you is to protect Yharim
It wouldn't make much sense for someone who has long since abandoned Yharim to do that
They flew to the Aerie together and now are just. hanging out there. ig uess
Well I certainly feel foolish now
So maybe the two were getting up to some deific shenanigans in dragon heaven or whatever the aerie is
Likely alot of training
and checkers
In a fleeting hope they can become strong enough to accomplish their goal
Your (
) presence does throw things off a little though
Yharim prank-calling Draedon
“Is your refrigerator running?”
“Yes. Very quickly. Towards your location.”
Because Yharim realizes "well, even if i DO die, this guy is pretty strong. maybe THEY can do it for me"
and thus Yharim trying to make oyu into his succcessor ensues
draedon has no fuckin clue where the aerie is
He’s a smart guy, he’ll figure it out
It's worth noting that the Whispers ("lore items") are being reworked in the future
he's scanned the entire surface of the planet several times and found nothing
While the general content of then is likely going to remain the same at its core (with a few additions and edits)
Instead of yharim just Brin Blasting you for seemingly No ReASON
You'll be able to find an old communication device
Which Yharim will use to tell you things
it's like the aerie doesn't even exist
Wait, easy solution
Bring the codebreaker with you there and just ring him up
true 
At first, it'll just be him observing you out of passion curiosity
Like
Yeah, dude has nobody besides Yharon, has been training all day
It can be a nice way of distracting himself a bit
Seeing what's going on in the surface
But as he notices
"Wait this guy is cracked, actually"
It'll slowly go from that to
actively trying to manipulate you
This guy is no-hitting my pet, this could be big
Seeing that he could make you into the next him
friend*
yharon is sapient
You know what I meant
people still calling yharon a pet 
Idrm where i said it
mightve been here
But i have a theory for how one cna acccess the aerie
ANd iti s
quite comically simple actually
Be an auric dragon, or be attuned
Rocket ship
Yharon - Duh
Yharim - Duh
Terrarian - Mock Attunement
And then that brings in question
God of War
who we know actually killed Yharon and stole his egg
But i have a few explanations for this, possible ones atleast
First explanation that is the most boring one
but like
the only reason he wants a successor is for them to finish the crusade
so he must think you have a reasonable chance of killing xeroc
which is obviously false 
He was attuned to a dragon
THe most fun and i feel in character one^?
GoW killed a dragon, mock attuned with his soul shards and then used that to go to the aerie to kill MORE dragons
why?
i mean what do you think bro wanted to fucking kill dragons he was bored
hes literally the god of war he wants to kill shit
These dragons just cannot catch a break bruh
And i think killing a dragon, mock attuning with his soul only to then go to the aerie and kill MORE dragons
is like
Also all the other remaining gods like Providence, SG, maybe Tyrian.
the exact type of insidious brutality i'd expect from GoW
Well they're all dead so they're on eternal break now.
well yeah that's slightly realistic
xeroc is not
of incorporating mock-attunement as a concept that you didn't invent in the lore
atleast one (1) person has figured out how to do it before
I mean, if we’re being technical, yharon’s kid is doing just fine with the donor item
And also it'd make sense too like. Assuming GoW was laready GoW back then
ANd he killed ANOTHER dragon
absorbing its soul woud be uh
bad.
donor content is strictly non canon
so what better thing to do with it
It's a much more feasible goal than killing Xeroc, Yharim probably knows nobody is gonna be able to kill Xeroc but he wants someone to at least get rid of the remaining gods who actually affedt the world.
Not canon
Dang
yharon having a kid would have insanely huge lore implications
Yharon is the only dragon
i actually made a list of non canon things the other day
so yeah just like all other donor items its not canon
*auric dragon, there's plenty of non aurics.
Like Betsy
bwuh
Not canon
Oh come on
Betsy is from a crossover so it's like deeerclops in not being canon.
but actual non-auric dragons include primordial wyrm, old duke, elder basilisk, uhh
What do you MEAN Mr stabby isn’t canon
Pigrons
Uh regular Duke fishron and regular wyrms
Wyverns I think?
it was never explicitly stated as non canon but the only explanation would be permafrost getting high off his ass and making a snowman mafia
There's a bunch.
I think Pigrons are in a similar boat to regular Basilisks, in that they're so far removed from the dragons of old that they're kind of just common animals
which is obviously hilarious but not very realistic
Aren't all non aurics just regular animals at the end of the day?
I'm...not sure actually
Calamitas training mishap
you gonna call old duke ordinary?
to his face?
His rapidly approaching face

Both in game and in lore
I believe I've heard that non-auric dragons are still mighty in their own rights, they just don't have domains and shit, but I can't be sure of that
He's just older duke fishron
Where's my thing
Also no old duke's lore isn't just older duke fishron
He has alot of planned lore for his rework and its cool as fuck

Unfortunately ingame rn it is just Old Duke Fishron though
Potential boss
every calamity boss:
He's not even gonna be a fishron anymore
Yeah pretty much
But anyways, a good counterargument is Primordial Wyrm, which is one of the main examples of an old ass non-auric dragon that's also leagues above any common creature
Not canonical lore
current calamity really is just the potential mod huh
So, question, I’m using the Ace’s High to beat scal on my current playthrough, so since it’s not a canon item, how does she lose
But an idea i had
It's a videogame
thats how
Welp
you can still have it in your story
it's just not taken into account in the overall narrative and doesn't have any unreasonable implications
like akato
While it's not cnaonical lore it is generally an idea i had that follows the standards set by how Dragons work and cei said its ore or less how she thought of it so
Also yeah, probably in the same way how if there was a fully canonized route for the game, it probably wouldn't include killing her with a copper shortsword
the only actual canon classifications are
auric dragons
and non-auric dragons
Old DUke, Primordial Wyrm, Eidolon Wyrms, Basilisks, Wyverns, Pigrons, etc
are all non-auric dragons
however
I felt like it was weird to
Aren't draconic offshoots different from non-auric dragons?
classify something like Pigrons and Old Duke together
Not really and that's why i t's confusing
Pbth
Primordial Wyrm and Pigrons are
both
by all meansw
non-auric dragosn
But are you really telling me you'd put those two in the same category
means
well technically jared was blessed by a god
One is an ancient individual that is seemingly fully sapient wiht incredibly powerful magic that is extremely close to his auric progenitors
The otherones are like
just a entire species of (fairly) mundane dragons
So
feral hog with wings
This si why i thought of this
this would be quite horrible irl
Old Duke and Primwyrm are "Pure" dragons. Hardly different from their auric counterparts beyond the titular lack of an Auric Soul. Sapient, ancient and quite powerful
Now something like normal Fishrons or Basilisks would just be "Wild" dragons
Technically still parts of the Draconic lineage y es
But so many generations have passed since their ancestors were auric that they're basically just mundane species of animal now
Makes me wonder where in the line Elder Basilisk will be
How elder is this basilisk?
it would be like the disctinction between nobles in royalty
like
Old Duke and Primwyrm likely are at the very top of "Pure" dragon
Something like Elder Basilisk would probably be treading the line
Not quite a wild dragon but not quite a pure dragon either
spupdate
It is probably not nearly as smart as old duke or primwyrm
Not like
fully sapient
but also not fully animalistic
Think of it as like
a caveman kinda
So about in the middle
Smart but not completely civilized smart
you have the kings and direct guys up top, those are very clearly defined
but then as the relationship gets more tangential you move into more just upper class
and then at the most tangential its just a bunch of regular guys that just so happen to be the former kings cousin twice removed's daughters nephew's great great great something great grandsons third cousins relatives
Average dragonfollies would be wild dragons but perhaps on the higher echelon of wild dragons (purely speculative tbh) just because i like to think theyre sorta like
monkeys or dolphins
like pretty smart for animal standards
but still animals
with maybe some minor tool use
but again
purely speculative
Like the dogs of offshoots
wyverns r funny since iirc they are descendend from vetrasyl and also sapient to some degree?
id ask stip but its 2 am for him rn so hes probably asleep
(it is also 2 am for me but im evil)
I guess that's not too surprising? As far as we know, Vetrasyl is the only dragon that's left their essences behind in the form of ore in the modern age, so it's possible that in the grand scheme of things, they might not've died too long ago
Then again, I'm not too caught up with the Vetrasyl lore, so I might be fully wrong
the final reward for beating calamity mod is Xeroc's Blessing which grants minor improvements to all stats permanently (does not stack with food buffs)
Vetra is the source of Otonilou and Illmeris seems to have been kicking for a pretty long while
Though
How lng that is in the grand scale of present time vs the very first dragon absorption is a long story
so could theoretically still be true
Ah yeah, that's a good point!
We don't, sadly
it broke and then the dragons ate it
Actually I ate it
My bad
Not yet beyond just it being shattered and the dragon's auric souls coming from its fragments
When they ran out of frragments, no more auric souls
And that's how you get old racist grandpa duke
Why is he racist
What did this duke do
Like I get the dashing is hard to deal with but that’s a whole buncha steps up
he's racist in the lore
he was born riiight after the last of the world soul shards was taken
so he was just barely cucked out of being an auric dragon
this made him racist against auric dragons and hate everything in general
Well now we REALLY gotta kill him
he's also a slave owner
does the world soul shard being in a soul designate it auric
🤷 thats what most people think the case is afaik
But
All our knowledge of the world soul is just from the single yharon bestiary entry iirc
magical
making a fake world soul, shattering it, then making a buncha fake souls to make fauxric souls
Is this some kind of Elden Ring
Based on our understanding of each of the things involved, this is seemingly the only sensible explanation
its like a pokemon evolution
or more like maht
its more like math actually
soul (assumedly of a dragon) + world soul shard = auric soul
auric soul + mortal soul = divine soul
theoretically i think a person could have an auric soul if they just absorbed a world soul shard by itself i guess
rather tha nlike
having to go through the middleman of a dragons soul
thats funny ot think aobut
sounds like a shitty superhero thats got boring powers like flying and being superstrong and was an obvious attempt of cashing in on superman from the 80s but nobody cared about him so he wasnt ever made popular
auric man
Based 
I think it was said earlier that if a god had a child with a regular mortal person, that child wouldn't be half-god, since the godly part of a godly soul isn't genetic or biological. Since Auric souls also come from fusing a shard of the world-soul into a dragon's existing soul, it's likely that the auric-ness doesn't transfer genetically either
Fun fact: the Eastern Roman Empire had a lot of honorific titles that they gave out to people who were merely tangentially related to the imperial family, e.g. panhypersebastos "venerable above all" for the husband of the emperor's second daughter
In fairness that is like slightly closer than tangential
yeah

why didnt the slaves just rebel and no diff old duke
Hes easy as shit anyways
fraud ass mf

this is such a nothing sentence
everything is nothing
Nothing ever happens
Duke just give me my fishron wings
the terrarian is you
*insert the image of a guy pointing with some dogwater text
i dont like self insert mcs tbh
i just couldn't see myself being in the game itself especially on something like calamity
thanks 🙏
stop lurking
everytime
someone says the terrarian is you
its scary...
I dont know what you expect from me
To not terrarian is you??
I wasnt even lurking i went here to look for a dev statement and just saw the current convo
Im better then i was in the past with the image
The terrarian isn’t me
He lost to turkor, no way I’d ever do that
Nooo way
I like to think everytime my terrarian loses a boss fight they either get flung so hard far away or just get saved by other npcs that just happen to be nearby
Do you think the aerie gets wifi
And if so, would Yharim be a toxic online gamer
the terrarian is phone guy...
yharim would be a facebook conservative type
just posting political nonsense
probably not even himself, just someone on his PR team
In auric tesla armor
Does yharim have his own version of grifter influencers that he has on payroll
draedon making shitposts
whats the calamity equivalent of charlie kirk
You can always make one
No, Draedon would be like a one-man community notes army
Just telling Yharim why he’s an idiot on like everything he posts
I DIDN'T EVEN MENTION IT THIS TIME
THE CURSE OF THAT IMAGE STAINS THIS CHANNEL
you know who else's lore is up to you!!!
Its not just this channel its even in outside parts a bit
The subjects gender
From reign if yharim
Yharim would unironically have smth like Concord as his favorite game I think
Are you saying he doesn't like Stalin I have no idea what that means.
Does yharim support hrt
Yharim would make really badly made Doom fan maps
if so do they plan on getting on hrt
No
yharim as a woman would be truly terrifying for the world
like praising the ussr lol
fuh nah
In calamity theres the gender change potion which is far better then hrt im pretty sure
Nah it was the dragon of transexuals
hrt was invented by the god of gender whose body festered into the hallow
thats right
yharim killed gender
He’d watch half a video about MyHouse and consider himself an expert on fanmade doom content
cancel him
Yharim is totally an iPad kid
I feel confident about this
sitting in a anti gravitational chair
what kind of dragon did this god eat man
Dragon of transexuality
dragon of bigotry
dragon of plain old sex
Not like Draedon’s awesome science chair
He actually gets stuff done
worse than Sexodia
is there a dragon of fent
Dragon of drugs
i think they played a major role of sealing the moon lord
that would imply fentanyl is a natural resource
i want to be a swarm of bees
mmm fent
uhhh the dragon of drugs was turned into the god of poisonings
it was made so by xeroc
because they said it would be lit
Xeroc does weed not fent iirc
fent is also the reason why noxus isnt fucking here
hot take about calamity lore:
i have gotten to the point where im forced to accept that im going to meet my end
yk theres a flavor foley song about this
What does this mean
Who would Yharim main in Overwatch 2
Whose the most anti gods character in overwatch
Idk actually
I just figured he’d play as toxic of a playstyle as possible
I really like this collective idea of Yharim just being a total bum in the aerie who still thinks he’s some kinda big shot
hi lore chat what r we talking bout
Nothing rn
Do you think Yharon has like a big dog bed in the aerie, or smth similar
Would yharim be a fan of the old lore
Had xeroc as capital g god so no
Yharim wouldn’t be a fan of anything unless it’s something everyone else didn’t like
bird nest
The aerie must have some big trees to make that work
Which it very well could, we dont know yet
can auric discharges be used to boil water and generate energy
i mean its called the dragon's aerie so its atleast a metaphorical nest
it could be on the ground
No I mean to get the stuff to make the nest
Unless it’s just a big pile of fancy rocks
Again, also possible, not exactly knowledgeable on auric dragon behaviors
Actually, better idea
Yharim built him a big auric plating dog house, except it’s a dragon house
idk flesh is inconvient and all but i feel like theres better options than steel & ceramic
Most certainly
Would draedon be able to solve the fnaf lore
One billion percent
He’d make an Exo Theorist machine specifically for that
glamrock freddy runs off of exo prisms
Which of the main 4 security breach animatronics would fit best with each exo mech
I’m thinking Monty is Thanatos, Roxy and chica are artemis and Apollo, and Freddy is ares
Gregory runs off exo prisms
Burntrap in draedon’s exo chair
There’s some amazing art potential here
Fighting them with the princess quest sword like the murasama
Flesh is edible, but steel and ceramic are not 
Of course they are
Are they good for you to eat? No, but that doesn’t change the fact that you CAN eat them
Burntrap isn't even canon
How can he be draedon's chair
Fun fact burn trap wasn't even supposed to really exist, but steel wool misunderstood what was talked about and made him a boss fight 😂 they thought Afton was back
Alright, put the mimic or smth in the chair
I thought burntrap was the mimic
Like glitchtrap
Yah because Scott had to retcon the mistake
But burntrap was really only supposed to be like an Easter egg that never did anything
I remembering hearing that Scott gave like no coherent instructions on lore
So steel wool had to improvise
That was true. Though there was an interview afterwards that said that when Scott was discussing the burn trap Easter egg Steel Wool misunderstood and thought it meant Afton was back and made it a boss fight
So in the Ruin dlc it got retconned to have just been a) not canon as that was not the canon ending and b) to have been the mimic
I feel like secret of the mimic turned out to be better cuz the studio like, actually knew what they were making
They’re definitely capable of good games
Scott didn't want to give them lore info and that resulted in miscommunications so I think they learned their lesson on that end 😂
y'know what
the timeline where security breach was actually really good would be a lot worse than what we got
I’m still wondering what the hell happened to the stuff from the trailer like the male voice
i think the methods of which scott and toby fox handle lore are very different but somewhat similar
scott has all the lore, he just chooses to not disclose it
toby fox discloses it, but cryptically until people figure it out later
(or until he feels like it)
someone actually made an hour+ video on their storytelling methods
He literally forgot what was in the fnaf 4 box
and why the fnaf story is garbage
Did Scott fully step back now? I know he stepped back when steel wool took over, but I knew he was still involved
he's still there iirc
not at all what he said
Then what was it
The interview was a while ago
ok but you cannot deny scott has just been making shit up since the second game
FNAF 4 is such an odd game lore wise that I don't even think the creator knows the lore 😂
It's been changed like 10 times
he said the contents of the box had changed
like the physical objects that were inside
but it still represents the same things
It’s funny how in the 2nd movie they literally just reversed the game lore
nvm I’m uneducated on my fnaf I forgot fnaf 2 was always the precursor location
Luckily the books and movies are not really canon and only have small bits of stuff that actually applies lore wise to the actual canon
FNAF 2 is indeed before FNAF 1
Also one thing I’m sad about is that they were calling the fnaf 2 location the first one that means Fredbear’s family diner just doesn’t exist in the movie lore 😔
Like a sister location or something?
"I always come back" william said, aftonly
"this is my message to my master" yharon said, dragonly
“hoo boy, big robot” draedon said intellect-ly
Since moonlord looks like a humanoid being
Would any dragons have started conspiracy theories that humanoid species originate or are otherwise affected by ml
I imagine if so then gods would have not helped this
auric dragon posting online about how the azafurian government is surveilling him at all times to entrap & kill him (hes right)
Yharim and Yharon’s conspiracy podcast discussing how the Lihzahrds and the pirates are working together to send Darksun Fragment stocks plummeting
Me (I'm the Azafurian government)
Azafure Witch Money Gang
We love burning souls
This song is sponsored by the Exo Government
So if Cthulhu isnt canon, then what are the cultists (including the Lunatic Cultist) up to?
they are referred to as the dragon cult
ohh, what are they doing tho
Keeping the seal on ml up so the possible end of the world does not possibly end the world
they revere the dragons, are maintaining the seal that keeps moon lord sealed on the moon, used to control the dungeon in the past as a library and structure around ceaseless void, and uh might dabble in trying to revive dragons (lunatic cultist summons a dragon in the fight, the eidolists appear to be transformed into a dragon-like form, etc etc.)
Their desire to keep the moon lord locked away isnt as strong as my desire to get the celestial starboard
Well yeah theyre fictional
Yeah I’m aware
Is there a video on YT that is up to date and goes over the complete (or at least known) lore?
Yeah that's kinda how writing long running franchises works
see this is why you plan for everything right at the start
and then just never make the game

speaking from experience ha ha !
We wish.
YouTube is full of liars. There's a Google doc though
Is there a link to it? Is it even reliable info
You know it's reliable because we make the British find sources.
is there any source of inspiration for the calamity lore?
you'll have to ask a writer whenever one shows up
there's cei, hagurihat and stipulatevenus mainly
oh, okay
because i've been reading the yellow king and wow
there's a lot of things similar to calamity lore
no real big overarching one
individual elements take inspiration from a lot of different places
i dont think king in yellow is one of the inspirations though at least not in any major fashion
the play that makes you insane isnt that big of an element
just saying
yeah its just coincidence
did you write cal?
i know the writers
me too
still not gonna talk for them about their thought processes
and i am pretty sure most of this stuff was written before most of them had even heard of king in yellow and i dont think most of them have even read it to this day
i could be entirely wrong here but with that and also considering there have only been 9 ish mentions of it in this entire channels history its very likely that its coincidence
Are the 3 sentinels even canonically related to DoG??
Not really, not anymore at least
They're just three entities that're from the Distortion in some capacity
Guys quick
What would Providence's name be if she killed a dragon of water instead
Speaking of, can we also add this option to slime god?
This but with Draedon 
"TONIGHT WE RESEARCH: THE MOON"
What's Chrysadia again? 
How would it only exist in the past though 
Almost? 
I'm saving that 
Man this just reminded me about the planned reaper shark rework 
Wait who changed this emote 
Who tf is subject 
Do you like play as a Draedon's experiment in that game?
(I mean it would make sense
)
insert the yharim yomi hustle mod
Providence still
She would still be hated due to her extreme belief of kill everyone
Sky civ that had connection to vetrasyl
Was nuked as it was fovos first target
iirc yea
Is there any kind of significant reason why Signus is called that?
(Both in and out of the universe)
signus is just his name
envoy of the devourer is an outdated title because he hasnt gotten a replacement one yet
he's not actually DoG's underling
could you use an auric soul to power your pc
Would be the least efficient use of an auric soul ever
Why can’t we make an exo toilet
?
bliss
draedon didnt make miracle matter?
yeah he didnt
well, he didnt stabilize it like how we did, it was unintentionally produced when the exos fight us
so the sparks after they died?
uhh i dont remember what it looks like when they die but the exos often inflict miracle blight iirc in the fight
Ares blender does
i dont remember that happening
Dunno about the others
other than the spin laser
yeah the blender
does worm gigalaser do it?
Split lasers and gamma disintergration beam
Y'know it really is a feat of engineering that Draedon managed to make robots that have such adaptable & context-sensitive on-board AI that all of them manage to jury-rig their own melting components into devastating final attacks
It's not a bug, it's a feature
Sometimes bugs make really nice features
and that's what happened during development of exo mechs
how much water does draedon consume to run his ai
how much water does it take to make like
179 exo prisms
either entire sulphurous sea worth of water or none at all
Why the fuck
do we need an exo toilet for
ah yes the most fucking expensive metal alloy
turned into a shitting chair

glorious idea terrarian
fuck you alex
I'm not referring to the replied or anyone btw, this is just the name of my terrarian in my canon
Up to you if the terrarian does make it
We have the diamond toilet, we have the terra toilet
The exo toilet is just the natural final evolution
Exo toilet
my name is actually alex and i am very offended.
(it’s actually not)
Don't tell this guy about the auric toilet 
not being worthy to use a toilet of all things

imagine wanting to take a shit on a toilet and it flings you 5 miles in the air in its enraged contempt
Do you know Steve?
The kind of stuff Yharim has to deal with in the aerie
Nop he does not get rejected
Welp
Yharim probably thinks Google Stadia is the best console
yharim doesnt know what the fuck a console is
He totally does
Draedon probably at least mentioned something about them at some point
There probably isn’t a tech thing he DIDNT talk about
yharim played one of those NES bootleg clones and now hates video games forever
Yharon, on the other hand, is a dragon of refined taste
His favorite video game is Peggle
The original one specifically
hmm
so is there any sort of lore that says why cal clone is wearing the guise of retinazer clone
Outdated sprite moment basically
oh
where does yhar har har get food in the aerie
I think there kind of is, but there is in the same way that there's lore that explains how Queen Slime is stronger than Slime God, it's just a bandaid fix of "oh yeah, that's just a machine she's riding around"
mm
no she just doesnt have any lore for the machine thats around her
Yeah the explanation i recall is that the current sprite is a pod containing the clone
Personally, that's part of why while I love the reinterpretations of the big ass machine body in redesigns (both official and fan-made), I hope that it's just scrapped entirely when one is finalized, there's no reason for it to be there beyond calling back to her roots
where are my paragraphs of text
This is supported by the yharim lore item that says 'to think, this housed a clone of the brimstone witch'
💔
then he says some shit about he & dreadons bad breakup
didnt draedon think that spreading a plague over the bees and the jungle in general would hurt yharim's feelings
And personally, I think it takes away from her looking recognizeably like a clone of Calamitas for the sake of making her look more...imposing, maybe? Monstrous?
what if instead of calamitas clone it was yhari, clone and they added supreme yharim
supreme fighter ai yharim
Supreme Godseeker, Yhorm
if we consider the yharim yomi hustle mod canon this is already true...
is the godseeker title canon
No
true
Godsneeder
This is from the Yharim disambiguation page on the official wiki
draedon refers to yharim as the godseeker plenty of times
So I don't know if it's official in universe, but it's officially recognized
where the hell did golden heretic come from
yeah and also draedon says hes the jungle tyrant which isnt true
That's...a good question
It's awesome though
amidias dialogue
Ah of course, Amidias would come up with a nickname that sick
Traitor Almighty is sick
to me "gilded heretic" rolls of the tongue more than "golden heretic"
does amidias recover from his soul getting stolen
why is amidas out here giving his greatest enemy, the man who carpet bombed his kingdom with a 15 year-old the hardest titles imaginable
Ooh, that's a good point though
More fluidity between the words
also kinda fits because it's not like yharim is made of gold or smth
Same reason yharim calls xeroc traitor almighty
and something being gilded is it being covered in gold, yknow, like yharim in his armor
everybody in calamity is always aura farming
Also it is pretty funny, but at the same time, I know of a lot of terrible people in real life that were given nicknames like those
vlad the impaler moment
the ottomans when wallachia
very unfortunate that DoG already trademarked the term "godslayer"
because "Yharim the godslayer" goes kinda hard
he committed heresy against the gods i assume
but what if two of those titles got mashed together into the heretic king
Ooh, like a contrast to the "God king" the god of dogma wanted him to be
God king of eternity
Yharim the jungle dragon
thats too much
Dragon king of Primordial Light
Huh when did melon become a donor
still too much
like yea he ended the deific age but also like
Birday
theres a line
Hai Googly Podoboo Koi
wtf
Snailrook
No, dog stuff is "God Slayer." It could be "Godslayer", that's very different
He's already called Godseeker, adding Godslayer seems a bit much.
You know, if the people of the world stopped giving bad guys awesome titles, we’d probably have less bad guys
Like if I was Yharim and I found out the people knew me as Yharim the Stupid Idiot Dumbass, I’d probably call it there
Like just pack it up and go home
Yharim probably doesn't even like his title that much anymore
Our terrarians are probably getting called "Hero" or "The savior" along those lines
Think he prefers to be called that considering what he wants to ultimately achieve
Well he should have thought about that before he sought the gods.
Should've not done a genocide onto so many kingdoms
He may have lost his cool there.
Shouldn't have been so fond of dragons 
Yharim apology video when
Yharim anti-apology video when
he regrets abusing calamitas but that's it
father of the year
doesnt he regret not stomping eol to the ground?
no that was draedon
draedon the crazy uncle
but he actually makes stuff strong as fuck
instead of breaks when breathed on too hard
Does yharim know how to play the ukulele
Lore wise, what explains us to not be able to find stuff like auric ore until after defeating Yharon? Or needing to defeat providence for uwubloom bars? /gen
I don't know if there's a confirmed explanation, but a theory of mine for the first one is that the souls of the other dragons were absorbed before fragments could break off of them...as for the second thing, though-
I'm actually certain that there isn't an explanation
uelibloom is being removed Eventually
as for auric we don't fucking know
What will it be replaced with? 
I don't think we know yet- the initial idea was a profaned ore, but I think that's up for debate now
Considering that it wouldn't solve the problem of it being able to mine auric just...not making any sense
the armor will be rethemed to profaned stuff and just found in the world (possibly the profaned biome)
There will be a new biome for uwubloom substitude?
next update virid vanguard will become the upgrade to igneous exaltation
idk about the others
the profaned biome might be added, and if it is, that would not be the main purpose
it would be a dedicated place for profaned enemies to spawn and to fight the bosses
also worldbuilding
Wonder if providence will be reworked to not need to fight her twice or night time
What
spawned by using the profaned core again when she's alive
Providence is getting mega buffed?
regular providence will still be there
the spawn method of blue providence is changing
You'll need to still fight her in hell and hallow?
most likely
Atp I just sequence break polter, much less trouble, although not really excited to start another world after my critical skill issue against thanatos
copyright infringement /j
actually it would be cool if elysian aegis was a drop/craft from guardians
they actually dash at you
and the time between valor and its upgrade would be less comical
and deal contact dmg while occupying a hitbox as big as providence
do we know what gods were killed in what order? vaguely?
its curious to think abt, since maybe its what gods yharim thought killing would be important for undermining morale/power
Providence was killed last
yharim didn't kill providence
He just said what gods were killed
Not killed by yharim
the order isn't exactly known for the most part, the gods making up the corruption / crimson were the first and only later did the gods making up the hallowed get killed
though according to the master doc, the god of dogma (no name revealed yet) was the first god killed
2 of the most "recent" gods killed are otonilou and tyrian as the incineration of ilmeris was not too long ago (relatively)
draedon technically did make miracle matter before us, exo mechs components overheating and melting together causes an unstable form of miracle matter to be from
it's why certain attacks from the exo mechs inflict miracle blight
ohhhh
of course this miracle matter is unstable and would eventually just eat away at the components until it stops working
Draedon popping off in his gamer chair seeing a new tier of science made accessible by his stuff getting exploded
is miracle matter canonically obtainable?
yes
doesnt the pumpkin moon like not exist?
the pumpkin moon isn't canon because it's a bunch of references
frost moon isnt canon either?
no
so is terra blade obtainable in canon?
probably
it isn't but even then there's nothing saying the terra blade isn't canon
in canon it'd probably just be another living shard craft like the rest of the terra set
so how is the event particle things made?
what event particle
the frost moon, pumpkin moon and solar eclipse things that float
oh those
they're not canon
the event moon buffs will be removed and the energies will be replaced by new distortion materials in the distortion update
so canonically it is currently impossible to obtain?
the energies just aren't canon but their crafts are
what's in the mod just hasn't caught up to what's canon
so then draedon is just crashing out that miracle matter is unobtainable because a third of the materials straight up dont exist?
miracle matter is obtainable
its more accurate to, instead of saying the materials arent canon, say there are materials there that are canon
ship of theseus materials
he doesn't know how to stabilize miracle matter because he wasn't dumb enough to try and shove random things together hoping it'd work
yeah
would he crash out if exo toilet?
he never actually made miracle matter and its a miracle we made that matter
we were the first to stabilize it, draedon was the first to make it (on accident)
he'd probably just be confused on why
intrigued as to why moreso
“an entire brand new physical substance spent on. a toilet?”
Wawa
act normal
Idk but it takes 40 fully coordinated yharim’s to kill xeroc
Hey guys welcome to my 100 player calamity challenge
and today were sliming out xeroc in his crib
and stealing his J's
I ate paper yesterday
I like turtles
Ok garbo
Did it give you knowledge
no
Knowledge i learnt many times
Paper tastes boring
you think differently colored cardboard has different flavors
paint
Have you tried to know
paint probably has a taste considering it has a smell
We traded boss taste discussion for paper taste discussion. Amazing.
how strong would paper made from plantera be
Life shard
what if this was powerscaling discussion
what if draedon was flat
What if hes fat
he's a robot
hes fat
maybe he should invent the exo treadmill
maybe some biofuel instead of diesel
fat fuck
So what the lore for signus?
he's like the pr guy for the distortion
A distortion entity that shares some resemblence to noxus in but i forgot the exacts on that
Worshipped by the onyx kinsman
It likely does not die our fight and uses statis as the physical body for the fight (not really in game rn)
When statis and braelor got sent to the distortion statis sold his arm and leg to signus to get freedom out the distortion
Thats all i rember
he does deals with people from regular world to his advantage
True why is signus ourple
It uses a puppet because its a fraud
people will call anything a fraud
You dont exist
