long bloom
#

a god is someone who absorbed the auric soul of a dragon

#

that's the only way

#

the dragons got the ability to command elements from absorbing shards of the fragmented world soul at some point in pre history

glacial wolf
long bloom
#

gods might be immortal

#

might not

glacial wolf
long bloom
#

but there will never be another

long bloom
glacial wolf
#

dying in general

#

from anything

#

i assumed they wer immortal tbf

long bloom
#

then how did yharim kill so many

glacial wolf
#

thats the only difference between a demi god and a god in greek mythos tbf

glacial wolf
long bloom
#

calamity doesn't have demigods

glacial wolf
#

there is different types of immortality which is stupid

glacial wolf
long bloom
glacial wolf
#

still a mortal just
A really really strong one

long bloom
#

the only way to get powers like that is ascending

latent flower
#

i mean

#

yharim

glacial wolf
#

all of em fit the deffinition of a demi god

long bloom
#

powers like that

#

like

#

god powers

glacial wolf
#

ie

#

xeroc

long bloom
latent flower
#

if you define demigod as a person with power that can rival that of a gods then yea calamity is full of them

long bloom
#

and yharim is attuned to an auric dragon

#

which doesn't make him a demigod

#

it makes him attuned

latent flower
#

it's just not a canon term

long bloom
#

^

latent flower
#

but like

glacial wolf
# long bloom it makes him attuned

which is closer to smthn like the archons from genshin than anything which are a weird limbo of immortal but not actually a god but have god like powers

latent flower
#

it can still technically be true

real silo
#

they have nothing connecting them to gods

long bloom
#

he's just really strong

#

he can't command elements or anything

glacial wolf
glacial wolf
latent flower
#

i mean the definition of demigod is very loose

glacial wolf
#

perma frost, sorta kinda half can with his ice magic

latent flower
glacial wolf
latent flower
#

yas

glacial wolf
#

i butchered his name

latent flower
#

it's just like not really something worth getting hung up on

long bloom
latent flower
#

because it may technically be a valid term but it doesn't really have meaning in calamity

#

it causes more confusion than it fixes

#

i tjink

long bloom
#

yeah

glacial wolf
#

perma frost, cal, old duke, empress, and like

maybe polterghast???

#

would fit demi god

#

sorta

#

when i say cal i mean supreme

#

not clone

long bloom
#

actually with current empress lore she would be a demigod

#

but that's the only example

#

and it's being retconned

real silo
#

Being able to control an element doesn't make someone a god

long bloom
#

and again
being really strong ≠ having godlike powers

glacial wolf
long bloom
#

we dunno

latent flower
#

me

glacial wolf
#

just make her non cannon she has no point in being cannon we already have enough cannon characters

#

make her a light elemental or smthn

long bloom
#

that would be nonsensical

real silo
glacial wolf
real silo
#

No in-betweens

#

No exceptions

long bloom
#

make eow non canon

#

???????

latent flower
#

the solution is adding cthulu

real silo
#

Adding celeri

long bloom
#

killing you

latent flower
#

the feds are after me

real silo
#

So I can style on her with a nohit

zenith geode
#

prime ml postgame superboss where you cant win

long bloom
real silo
#

That's not styling that's turning yourself into a rock

glacial wolf

Hey wait the update is today huh

#

I think

raven brook
#

ye

raven brook
#

like we can have a dead crab iwht mushrooms on it

#

we can have a big evil eyeball

#

its okay

ebon pelican
raven brook
#

the fight sucks but he's funny its true

#

hes one of the only truly silly calamity bosses in my book and i think he has merit just due to that

ebon pelican
#

I think design wise he is my favourite

split mortar
split mortar
#

I DIDNT EVEN MAKE IT

agile matrix
#

pardon????????????

#

i cannot make philosophical comment on this but like What

random mulch
#

murdering half of the world's population is pretty bad ngl

split mortar
random mulch
#

true

agile matrix
#

idk hearing "[x] is worse than hitler" is often kinda like hearing "florbo gingus mcshnoodle"

#

its just a shock value thing

pulsar ocean
#

just make cthulhu fovos' cousin

raven brook
#

comparing to hitler is one thing and its pretty accurate

#

just saying worse is a bit ehh

agile matrix
#

its Accurate Yeah ("yharim is kinda like hitler" invokes ideas and smart thinking) but its not exactly good to try and say "worse" since people are subjective abt that

raven brook
#

its worse because hitler killed real people

#

and yharim killed fictional characters

#

so it ends up just being kinda insensitive and disrespectful

#

but it wasnt really done out of malice

#

xzier was just clueless and then realized yeah it was kinda fucked up after we told them

fast aspen
#

im backhage

I wanna be siffrin

the roaring knight was me

#

btw yahron was yahrim pet?

no

#

they were best friends forever

split mortar
#

Yharon is a fully sapient 2K+ year old being

fast aspen
split mortar
#

130ish

eternal veldt
#

Is stars above mod compatible with calamity mod lore since i want to be immersed with the lore of the world

fast aspen
#

hmmm who is the oldest being in calamity?

split mortar
#

The oldest is either noxus or prime moonlord or yharon/first auric dragon
Unless you count the now shattered world soul thats prob number one, idk if it even counts as a being tho

warm gull
#

yharim is around 1350 years old when you start calamity

#

by the time you kill supreme calamitas, he's canonically around 1750

split mortar
ebon pelican
#

What the fuck?

warm gull
#

700-300 is 400 dude

ebon pelican
#

Shhhhhg it's 11:15 pm

#

My point still stands, how the fuck does 300 years pass

#

Do people naturally just live for a good minute?

split mortar
ebon pelican
#

Yeah I'm gonna have to behead them

warm gull
#

yeah yharim fucks with you the entire game

#

its pretty obvious in the lore items

ebon pelican
#

Five million gorillas to your home, all with golden pickaxes

#

Your fibre optic cable is mine

random mulch
#

user daidaichin you will be sent to the auric repulsor box

draedon mentions it in one of his dialogues

#

ebon pelican
#

Dreadon looks funny, he needs a better chair. His posture is terrible

split mortar
#

Just build a new recon drone

fast aspen
#

so player in calamity is on the end like 500 years old?

wanton pendant
#

If you want to, I guess?

split mortar
warm gull
#

we know they've been around for at least a good few hundred years before the game started, since they know of yharims genocides

#

which ended a few centures before the game takes place

fast aspen
wanton pendant
#

Went to Dragon Aerie.

warm gull
#

he also killed all the gods

ebon pelican
#

Ngl the gods deserved it though, the innocents did not obvs

warm gull
#

it took anywhere from 500-1000 years all things considered

dawn swift
split mortar
#

Many gods did

#

But

#

Otonilou, agnus, tyrian and all gods that make up the hallowed did not
They were objectively a good influence for the past couple centuries

wanton pendant
warm gull
#

yharim is basically talos stormcrown

#

big hunk man with the soul of a dragon/god

#

took over the whole world with his empire

#

also a badass

wanton pendant
#

Yells at people...

ebon pelican
warm gull
#

I mean the gods had been ruling the world for tens of thousands of years and the planet was still in horrible condition

#

yharim was kinda right

#

even the ones who had good intentions like silva didn't do much, she just got thrown back into the abyss when she tried

split mortar
ebon pelican
#

Btw in the lore do we perma kill yharon? Or nah....

split mortar
#

Nop

#

If we did yharim would have been in the fight as well as yharon

ebon pelican
#

I'm suprise they made the dragon look super fluffy ngl

ebon pelican
split mortar
#

Yharon resprite btw

warm gull
warm gull
#

in this way, we're actually finishing the gods' genocide

#

its morally grey

split mortar
#

Your morally gay

ebon pelican
warm gull
#

cuz yharon did genocides and we also did genocides

#

so we dont get to know whos right or wrong

ebon pelican
#

He looked like a chicken nugget with wings

#

99.9% of yharons soul just teleports to the aerie

ebon pelican
#

The last time I played Calamity was 2020 probably 2019

split mortar
wanton pendant
warm gull
#

yharon's soul is already unstable from it being split between him and yharim, so when we kill him, it breaks apart

ebon pelican
warm gull
#

this is why yharon's song is so tragic

split mortar
wanton pendant
#

Actually that was a plague joke.

ebon pelican
#

I've been in the destiny dungeons for 7 years

warm gull
#

I hope you get better soon

#

my condolences

ebon pelican
#

I wanna play destiny so bad but there is literally nothing to do

#

It's so cringe

warm gull
#

waiter waiter more AAA game priced dlcs please!

#

I used to play destiny 2

#

got it all the way back in the very beginning

#

when the game itself still cost money

ebon pelican
#

Ancient times

warm gull
#

you did NOT get any compensation for buying the game when they made it free btw

#

chud ass game

wanton pendant
#

Not even a hat!?

hallow dove
#

Is there a dedicated place where lore is kept? I've been reading the stuff here, and a lot of what's being said isn't mentioned in game, so I'm just wondering where it is from so I can properly educate myself.

split mortar
#

In the pins

#

Theres a doc that has dev statements as well, but with the horrors of my motivation being as consistent as old lore was i havent added sources to it in a while

hallow dove
#

I'm an obtuse person, so what does the "pins" mean?

#

Nvm, I found it. Yikes I'm bad at navigation

fast aspen
#

do you tink that yahrim regret genocide?

rose star
#

I believe not, yharim sounds like he'd be like Zod

#

Although it seems currently yhrim is suffering from a somewhat depression

split mortar
#

He regrets making a child do them or hurting his allies
Not the actual genocides itself
If he got sent back in time he would do them again

#

In universe, is “x of Cthulhu” referring to an actual being? Or is it just a title given to really strong fleshy guys

steel ginkgo
#

I think the Terraria lore goes into the whole cthulhu thing a whole lot more

lucid niche
#

Yeah but terraria lore is non-canon here right

steel ginkgo
#

They peeled skeleton out of cthulhu or something

worldly spindle
#

Correct

steel ginkgo
#

Idk

#

Sorry lmao I just like the mod bruh

worldly spindle
#

The Cthulhu title is merely cosmetic in Calamity

lucid niche
#

That makes sense

worldly spindle
#

Monsters such as the eye and brain are born from the bloodshed of Yharim’s crusade

lucid niche
#

Oh that’s pretty cool

woeful karma
#

xerox or zeus

lucid niche
#

Zeus think he on the team

#

The most notable thing that guy did in actual mythology was fuck up some giants

#

And then he was a bum forever

#

Also he’s not in cal lol

woeful karma
#

fixed

lucid niche
#

That is also true

long bloom
#

neither zeus nor cthulhu are characters in calamity lore

lucid niche
#

Cthulhu also isn’t in Greek myth

long bloom
#

what.

worldly spindle
#

I didn’t know the mod rewrote existing bestiary entries

long bloom
#

it

#

doesn't

#

again
those guys don't exist

#

you have been severely misinformed

#

or you're just trolling

xeroc doesn't even have a brother at all

woeful karma

cthuhuh 😭

dusk laurel
#

it was gonna be in today's update but it got pulled a month or two ago

leaden bridge
#

so like they did pull the vanilla bestiary entries they were making we didnt hallucinate that fact

long bloom
#

haguri said they did

#

and then her and cei argued about it

#

we do not know the outcome

dusk laurel
#

lets not dwell on that

i am merely stating what happened

That's what I wanted

sacred pilot
#

I mean that the Terrarian is defending themselves.

eternal veldt
#

Ohhhh

#

Fair enough

hardy dragon
#

is there a canon reason for the player respawning or is it more for gameplay purposes? Me and my friends have been arguing about this for so long I swear

#

Anahitas lore is despaired enough

sacred pilot
#

You're defending yourself. Again.

eternal veldt
# sacred pilot I mean that the Terrarian is defending themselves.

Wait is the terrarian literally just getting jumped constantly, LMAO funny headcannon that the terrarian is just clueless and kept getting jumped to the point he gets powerful everytime he gets jump leading to the point he gets to square up with gods still not understandig why they hate him XD

young socket
#

anahita wants to flood the entire world and lures you into the ocean to kill you

yeah that checks out

gleaming swallow

And the boom big boss comes there

Thank you.

# gleaming swallow And the boom big boss comes there

Happens when you pull up on the wrong block. Imagine this your just a normal everyday dude who gets in the wrong street. You defeated the thugs and sleightly stronger gangs heard about you, they jumped you as you win again. And to the point you are dealing with the mafia without any clue why everyones out to get you XD

sacred pilot
#

Silva was a Nature Elemental prior to becoming a Goddess and according to Cei (head lore writer) she is confirmed to be benevolent and caring.

sacred pilot
#

It contradicts the lore (in the Beastiary which is the only unbiased source we have) of Elementals wanting to expand their domain no matter what.

gleaming swallow

Silva wants to spread her domain

#

...It's already everywhere

sacred pilot

Ah.

I may be stupid.

Her domain is Nature

did the corruption/crimson happen before or after silva "died"

it was a pain in the ass to work on and nobody really... had any plans for it

eternal veldt
mighty zenith

it was made before a boss fight was conceptualized around it

neat tinsel
dusk laurel
#

nothing was really lost and also it wouldve been annoying as hell to make a rework for

#

because it was so big

young socket
#

it wasnt done, not animated, the person who made it left, and didnt do anything unique and none of the current team like it

mighty zenith
#

and now DoG can get a proper redesign

#

instead of the same except big

eternal veldt
#

Would have been an awsome bossfight where in the first half our camera gets stuck in one place and kinda like undertale we avode massive attacks from DOG. Then for the second half we get eaten and have to fight him from the inside

this stuff's difficult

Hi

split mortar
fickle spruce
#

Ive always been curious about the lore of both terraira vanilla and calamity

split mortar
#

Good thing we are willing to explain cal lore and that theres a doc in the pins as well if that fits your fancy
Vanilla lore has much less focus put on it then cal lore sadly

fickle spruce
#

I see

#

Does there happen to be a YouTube video over the calamity lore?

split mortar
#

There are youtube videos but they are not the best
Even the best of ones i know of fall for yharims propaganda skewing the info they present

#

When yharim is uh

#

Compared to hitler regularly

#

Here

fickle spruce
#

I see

#

Interesting

young socket
wanton pendant
#

Look, we gotta meet the quota somehow.

fickle spruce
#

So idk if im just dumb but its kinda confusing

wanton pendant
#

What's confusing?

#

I preemptively blame Melon.

fickle spruce
#

Theres alot of different dragons and people fusing eith said dragons and then those people fuse with other people and.

#

Its alot

wanton pendant
#

?
After ascending they don't ascend further.

robust osprey
#

I mean

#

ravager

#

technically

#

kinda

split mortar
#

Auric dragons exist and people can do the ascension ritual to consume the dragons auric soul and become a god, theres no deeper tier to it

Ravager is a outlier and that was not in the same vein as god ascensions but instead a different thing (people sacrificing themselves for necromancy)

fickle spruce
#

Maybe I just need to read it again to fully understand lol

split mortar
#

Why is there a cut in the middle it doesnt indicate which side is alive or not

long bloom
#

??

split mortar
#

Not the one between dragons and gods the other one

long bloom
#

oh

fickle spruce
#

Wait so eventually alot of those spots could become bosses in future updates

long bloom
#

idk

fickle spruce
#

Oh

split mortar
long bloom
#

and calamity's not adding more new bosses until yharim

split mortar
#

And calamity doesnt want to add more bloat to the already big boss pool

fickle spruce
#

Fair

fickle spruce
long bloom
#

no

#

he'll be in the final* update

split mortar
#

xeroc and noxus may come after if the devs still have the energy to do them

fickle spruce
sacred pilot
#

We know that most Gods ascended imperfectly.

#

Like how instead of having the domain of flame, Providence had the domain of ash.

#

THEORETICALLY.

#

If someone was to ascend with Yharon's soul.

#

What would be their domain?

long bloom
#

would depend on the person

#

the accepted theory for yharim's potential domain would be god of eternity

split mortar
#

God of eternity would be a possibility yeah

soft flame
long bloom
#

you are correct

robust osprey
#

it is

long bloom
#

but the domain changed

#

so they're technically different gods

soft flame
#

ahh

split mortar
soft flame
#

that explains it then

#

i was confused

long bloom
#

it should probably be clearer in the chart but idk how

split mortar
split mortar
long bloom
soft flame
#

make another column just for ravager

long bloom

#

Ravager is clearly a trade evolution.

robust osprey
#

LMAO

long bloom

if rav had his own column you could call it a...

ravager pillar

distant willow
#

no

wanton pendant
#

Yes.

soft flame

That's not how as ascension works... Probably.

Hello, #lore-discussion! The Brainstorm update, along with a whole host of other changes, includes lots and lots of new lore. This includes tweaks for existing lore items, tooltips for new and existing items, tweaked bestiary entries, and 95 rewritten vanilla bestiary entries. If you'd not like to hunt for all this new lore yourself, the Lore Reference Document has been updated!
-# Note: Not all vanilla bestiary entries are in the document. If you want to see why, look at the bestiary entry for Retinazer: "A pair of mechanical eyes built by Draedon for reconnaissance and assassination, Retinazer focuses its energy into firing powerful lasers." Lots of them are nothingburgers like this just made to remove contradictory information from the vanilla bestiary.

In addition, to better serve the lore community as a collated source for official text, the Calamity Lore Document has been remade into the Calamity Lore Reference Document! This document is intended to serve as a complementary sister document to the Introductory Cal Master Doc, which functions as an organized reference for canon in-game lore. As such, the document has been re-formatted to match the style of the Introductory Cal Master Doc, and all extraneous theorizing, summaries, word definitions, and in-jokes have been removed.

The entire document has been remade!?
And it's now in orange!?

#

The Lore Item doesn't really

#

Directly contradict anything

woeful karma
spare pier

A big reason as to why we delayed the Bestiary was

Because I wanted to rewrite Empress' Item alongside it

I didn't find enough time for that so

But it's fine

and you have to complete all of them to fight yharim

limpid saddle

yesss

now when does calamitas turn into a worm boss and fight yharim who is now also a worm boss

calamitas combines all of her necromantic constructs into a super sepulcherghasterofgods that has the domain of torch luck

lore leak & its NOT his fault?

spare pier
#

Like, we forgot a bunch of the stuff written here because it was done over a year ago

limpid saddle
#

incredible stuff really

spare pier
#

And we were like

#

"Yeah this is for SSO we'll revise when we're done"

#

Then we didn't get done

manic coral
#

i KNWO i wrote this

#

i spent like

spare pier
#

So a bunch of stuff got in and we didn't revise for release because we just

#

Forgot they even existed

manic coral
#

in my defense

#

NOBODY told me this stuff was going in

#

I didn't forget shit

spare pier
#

The Bestiary was an oopsie on some internal programming stuff though

manic coral
#

I remember all of this stuff it's just that nobody bothered to tell me

spare pier
#

Ozz said it was probably because versions kept being merged and shit and the Vanilla Bestiary removal ended up sneaking through in one of those

manic coral
#

Ok so basically we MIGHT have to do some quick hotfix reivsion with a few of these things but

#

whatever

spare pier
#

Only for the Bestiary pretty sure

#

And yeah we will do that

manic coral
#

Ok

#

Do you need immediate help with that?

spare pier
#

Maybe?

#

It will be me, Stip, Jasper and Tofu

manic coral
#

If you guys cna handle it on your own I will jsut keep going with Calamitas stuff since I've been on a roll with that stuff lately

how intriguing

split mortar
warm gull
#

ts why I dont visit lore discussion very much I barely know whats real and what isn't

wanton pendant
#

MOON LORD IS FROM WYOMING!?

split mortar
warm gull
#

the only thing I can be confident is is spreading false information

spare pier
#

I think every Lore Discussion regular knew that but it's funny that it's only public now

split mortar
warm gull
#

because if I start saying stuff I think is true I will 100% accidentally leak

limpid saddle

And because we accidentally said that like

implicatly

limpid saddle

various people said it without realizing they shouldnt

What we DIDN'T SAY

Is his power

Which I think is fire as fuck

I remember back in the good old days when melongun kept telling me moonlord isnt from distortion

@woeful karma you're missing Malachite

It got a tooltip

# spare pier Which I think is fire as fuck

The cosmic behemoth that brought Terraria to its knees 800 years ago, freed from its lunar prison in a weakened state. It had the power to siphon and dominate souls, including those possessed by dragons, permanently wounding them. It hails from an incomprehensible fissure of broken spacetime which leeches energy from our dimension to sustain itself.

woeful karma
#

yeah
there was a lot of things i didnt include because i spent genuinely like 6 hours on this and i didnt want to include things that gave 0 information

spare pier
#

Fair

spare pier
warm gull
spare pier
#

And then, of course

#

Every Pillar is a specific Auric Soul he claimed from another Dragon

warm gull
#

or at least not something I was surprised by I'm pretty sure rp fovos had that power for ages

limpid saddle
#

I wonder if the Moon Lord is adjacent to a proto-Devourer then

manic coral
#

so

split mortar
manic coral
#

made sense to think that

warm gull
#

I also think the pillars being specific domains was something well known

split mortar

oh my god GET OUT

mind dragon has been revealed...

woeful karma

oh wait thats an

#

interesting implication

manic coral
#

the one i was probably just about to joke about?

split mortar
#

Insert Mind dragon deez nuts joke here

manic coral
woeful karma
#

i didnt even consider this but that means souls taken by fovos were salvageable

warm gull
#

melon gun exposed

manic coral
#

oh nvm

spare pier

#

i was gonna say "gee funny that people figured out how to fuck with auric souls right after this"

split mortar

ah

woeful karma

#

Also dai why you picking up melonquote like i do dev statement

spare pier
#

Exactly

woeful karma
spare pier
#

He took Light and Xeroc exists

woeful karma
#

yeah but light was explicitly stated to be only a fraction

manic coral
warm gull
manic coral
#

not at all a lepa in logic

spare pier
#

Now, he can claim an entire soul and that would just straight up kill the dragon

#

And obviously no one would be able to ascend with it

#

But for Life, Storm and Light he didn't claim all of it, just a part

warm gull
#

people also had solar clocked as a primlight thing

#

as for the other two, there wasn't much to go on

manic coral
#

yeah which also isnt a logic leap given the debuff from it is called

split mortar
manic coral
#

"Daybroken"

limpid saddle
#

given how many dragons died in the conflict im suprised these specific souls are what he chooses to wield in form of the pillars

warm gull
#

mind dragon was not revealed

woeful karma
#

yeah i was about to say

warm gull
#

life dragon i guess

woeful karma
#

was that not already confirmed

woeful karma

#

All I know is that the sight of Fovos wielding Primordial Light must've been the single most terrifying thing to see in the history of Terraria

"Our king has set out to slay the beast! We await his return with bated breath."

its the thing that does lifesteal to the terrarian after all

I love to imagine how Zeratros vs Fovos went because it's like

Now that we’re on about moon lord, Laura it’s time to settle the debate

Is prime moon lord leggy or tentaclly

its literally canon in the game

manic coral
#

i think

woeful karma
#

vanilla has answered this question

#

Zeratros fired a point blank shot directly onto its face, and Moon Lord, to avoid getting its face blown off, ducks a little bit and instead gets its entire scalp removed

warm gull
#

yeah there's tentacles for moon lord legs

i kind of cant because i dont really know what zeratros is supposed to look like because i think the last concept art i saw was outdated

If the average auric dragon really was around Plantera, or hell even Deus level, Zeratros vs Moon Lord really was a dbz fight

So it's like

I meant the "Goku lost" part

why didnt Zeratros watch ML explode Yharon & go awaken as the legendary Super Saiyan
