its just because its the jade palace

#

thats it

worldly girder
#

Cogcloak seems so funny cause have those two even met SAD

raven brook
raven brook
#

they haven't

#

but they're fucking perfect for eachother

green prairie
#

what item is that?

raven brook
#

the more you think about it the more you realize holy shit they'd get along so damn well

worldly girder
#

They are but still SAD

agile matrix
green prairie
#

oh got it

agile matrix
#

Elden Diorama

raven brook
simple tangle
#

Whos cog

raven brook
#

cog is draedon

green prairie
raven brook
#

cloth is sigma

#

i mean signusa

untold forge
#

woah

dusk laurel
#

the jade palace...

raven brook
#

and hten the other one is this

#

which may or may not have some actual od lore hidden between the brainrot it speaks

worldly girder
raven brook
#

but at the very least it still references it through visual design and name

green prairie
#

waiting for the wiki to update with all of its new silly dialogue

dusk laurel
#

eating babies for sport

raven brook
#

man i'm really interested in od's new design because like

#

he's one of those bosses thats being entirely remade

#

in terms of design

#

like polterghast style

#

it's gonna be completely different from current od and im very intrigued by its

green prairie
#

i saw the concept art back when that was around, is that still gonna be used?

worldly girder
#

Signus resprite still so fucking funny

raven brook
#

specially cuz, while hes not in my top 5,

#

i do think od (atleast for the unreleased lore) is actually a p interesting character

#

ingame he sucks though

worldly girder
#

They just made him look good and didn't change the design at all SAD

raven brook
#

😭

raven brook
simple tangle
#

Jared is also planned to change right

raven brook
#

😌

raven brook
#

both him and normal eidolons

raven brook
#

they'll look more like actual sea serpent draconic creatures

#

and primwyrm specially

green prairie
raven brook
#

will have more of like

#

ancient mystical nature creature elements

dusk laurel
raven brook
#

both to tie in the "primordial" aspect

simple tangle
#

The desubnautification of Jared

raven brook
#

and also the silva aspect

worldly girder
#

I hope they do still retain some of their current design tbh

raven brook
#

ghost leviathan

worldly girder
#

Like, not too too different because it is a very fitting design

agile matrix
#

i do like Ghost Leviathans

green prairie
dusk laurel
#

yeah

worldly girder
dusk laurel
raven brook
#

I think it's a pretty bad thing because it's like

#

not even inspired

#

it's actually just plagiraism

worldly girder
#

Uhhh

green prairie
#

wait like dragon dragon like once protected the world Dragon or just dragon

worldly girder
#

It's similarly shaped now

simple tangle
#

OG jared was LITERALLY just ghost leviathan

raven brook
#

It's literally ghost leviathan with abyss rocks and crystals throw onto pof it

split mortar
#

Ghost leviathan with oreo crumbs is not good design

worldly girder
simple tangle
#

And current one is just armored Ghost Leviathan

worldly girder
green prairie
#

all of the stuff with dragon offshoots is really interesting to me

raven brook
#

I can't lie atleast to me there is

dusk laurel
raven brook
#

nothing of value in the current eidolon wyrm design

woeful karma
raven brook
#

It is literally just ghost leviathan with abyss rock armor ontop

woeful karma
#

its not a "very fitting shape" youre just used to it

simple tangle
#

Worm

worldly girder
#

Alr lmfao

raven brook
#

Triangle dropped some of his inspos for eidolon redesigns in the future

#

Iirc it included Basking Sharks and Ceadeus

#

idrm the rest

worldly girder
#

Ew

dusk laurel
#

shin godzilla iirc

worldly girder
#

not ew

raven brook
#

Don't you dare say ew to him ever again

#

He's fucking awesome

worldly girder
#

Nah he's dope

#

Basking Sharks are ew

green prairie
#

i wonder if any draconic offshoots have been domesticated by terrarian people?

raven brook
#

maybe

#

i mean

dusk laurel
green prairie
worldly girder
#

Eh

raven brook
#

alot of the more "derived" offshoots are just

worldly girder
#

I don't want Jared with beard

raven brook
#

animals basically

raven brook
#

not jared specifically

obsidian plume
green prairie
#

ohh i thought this was for just prim wyrm

raven brook
#

jared instead will have more of primordial ancient spirit elements

#

primordial nature spirit* brain fart

#

eidolons and jarede will generally have, a similar desing of course

#

but jared will have noticeably idfferences

#

to just look

#

more ancient

#

and also to incorporate silva in its desing

dusk laurel
#

the silva blessing yeah

raven brook
#

cuz neither the placeholde r design rn nor the previous one do that

#

(cuz they were designed for old lore which didnt have anything to do with silva. nor where they even dragons

#

they wre just unexplained weird deep sea glupshits

worldly girder
#

Isn’t the design implemented in Thai update like not even a new sprite at all

raven brook
#

yeah

worldly girder
#

I feel like I’ve seen it a while ago

raven brook
#

its just a sprite that was already made and it was added cuz like

dusk laurel
#

heart felt like it

raven brook
#

eh why not it looks better than the current one and its just sitting in the bvack not doing anything

worldly girder
#

Yea ofc but like how old is it

dusk laurel
#

2 years at least

raven brook
#

older than the current lore at minimum

#

idk the specifics

#

like its Old old

worldly girder
#

Some sort of old worm

green prairie
#

this isnt related to eidolon wyrms but i just noticed that dragonfolly is weak to everything except being wet ironically (i cant read it resists electricity im tired leave me alone)

raven brook
#

which like you can tell because that shit dont look like a dragon in the slightest thats like a fucking alien ghoul from hell

green prairie
#

poor baby 💔

worldly girder
green prairie
#

if dragonfolly not friend why friend shaped

split mortar
#

Because fukc you

raven brook
#

GO MY VULTURES

worldly girder
#

I assume Folly mount will have to be changed for the tier shift to be pretty much the same as queen bee mount

raven brook
#

DEVOUR THEM ALL

#

SWARM THEM

worldly girder
#

😭

green prairie
#

oh right i forgot folly is gonna become post-evil 1

worldly girder
#

(Peak)

simple tangle
#

What if Calamitas hadnt nuked Ilmeria

green prairie
#

no desert scourge

raven brook
#

thatd be cool and good

worldly girder
split mortar
raven brook
raven brook
#

😭

#

iirc the actual name of the species is like

#

great illmeran scourge or smth i forgot

#

atleast its an proposal someone had for it

dusk laurel
#

iirc you made that

raven brook
#

a lore writer. i think it was laura, idrm

dusk laurel
#

loke

split mortar
raven brook
#

nah mine was different

dusk laurel
#

like last tear

simple tangle
raven brook
#

i think

#

i know laura made one too

#

maybe im confusing hers and mine

#

let me see actually

#

search bar here i go

green prairie
#

were they largely passive when they lived in illmeria or were they actual scourges?

raven brook
#

Ok well

#

laura's name and mine were largely identical

#

mine was great illmeran scourge

#

laura's was

#

colossal illmeran scourge

#

so like y eah same shit different ass

split mortar
dusk laurel
#

i was right

#

smhsmh

raven brook
#

Yharin is notably not good at biology

green prairie
raven brook
#

Whether they were hostile is another story

green prairie
#

i may be misremembering

simple tangle
#

Current lore Desert Scourge is like some kinda reptile right

split mortar
#

What bird would yharim say this is

raven brook
#

It's not even him trying to manipulate you this time cuz why would he lie about that

#

He's just kinda fucking really dumb at biology

#

Liek that's an actual character trait of his he did not get good grades in bio class

#

He probably like

#

knew Aquatic Scourges were filter feeders

#

and assumed it was the same for desert scourges

#

but yeah no they're predators

#

keep in mind

#

DS did not evolve

#

cuz thats not how evolution works

#

its the exact same being it was before genetically specially cuz evolution dosent happen in individuals but rather, through lineages

#

it just adapted

#

so heres the problem right:

#

how the fuck would a filter feeder that only ate plankton adapt to actually hunt hard-bodied insects and eat hard cacti like it does now 😭

#

Triangle iirc also talked about some of his plans regarding this stuff before

green prairie
#

yeah i wasnt caught up on desert scourge sorry

simple tangle
#

DS is prolly malnourished asf right

raven brook
#

The reason DS mostly feed in antlions now is because in its natural enviroment, it mostly fed on hard-bodied crustaceans

obsidian plume
#

nerd🫵

raven brook
#

its doing pretty good actually

raven brook
#

im jane biology

dusk laurel
#

too much cacti and antlions

raven brook
#

why would it be starving lul

split mortar
obsidian plume
tepid marten
green prairie
#

its not starving but it looks a little thirsty

split mortar
#

How would cryogen do at making ice tea

tepid marten
obsidian plume
raven brook
#

But it's not like,

#

suffering per say

#

It's doing fairly well

green prairie
raven brook
#

Again, through discussions devs had here (notably triangle since he did alot of the sso ecology worldbuilding)

#

We know DS's species

#

generally lived in the upper layers of illmeris and already spent a somewhat significant portion of its life oon land as is

#

idk if youve seen the teasers of the redesign but it helps contextualize this

#

they were crocodiles, basically

#

in their lifestyle

#

so what desert scourge is living through rn is basically like

woeful karma
agile matrix
#

itd be kinda cool if DS (current implementation) divebombed antlions underground

woeful karma
#

koistare ,,

green prairie
raven brook
#

"what if the crocodile's lake dried up so it just kinda had to walk around on ladn to eat shit"

raven brook
#

you might've seen the scrapped blue design

#

that one had fins

worldly girder
#

I feel like Aquatic Scourge looks a tad too normal for being in caustic water constantly

#

Like yeah he’s geen but that’s kinda it

simple tangle
#

Do they predate on Dune Splicers n shit

raven brook
#

DS got entirely redesigned, and AS aswell as the Sunken Scourge enemy for sso will all gget a similar treatment to be clearly identifiable as related animals, but distinct enough to be clearly idstinct species

#

They're all reptiles now

#

A species o lizard-like creature basically

green prairie
#

the death of everyone being a worm...

raven brook
#

desert socurge takes heavy inspiration from crocodiles, armadillo lizards and balahara from monster hunter

raven brook
green prairie
#

ooh i love armadillo lizards

raven brook
#

which makes sense cuz theyre probably the closest thing they have to their og prey

#

insects, crustaceans

#

yk close enough

simple tangle
#

No more crabs....they all got fried or are now trippin right

raven brook
#

there's still some crabs

thick slate
#

mmm fried crab

raven brook
#

but the species ds speciifcally hunted is probably extinct by now

tepid marten
#

Fried crabulon wires

raven brook
#

hermititans still exist

#

which r crabulon's species

worldly girder
#

So DS and AS won’t be quite the same species?

raven brook
#

but they live in deeper waters

simple tangle
#

Oh yea theres the lil scavenger guys right

green prairie
raven brook
#

well

#

always were int he new lore

#

They are related, not the same animal

#

In old lore they used to b directly the same species and it was kinda wacky

worldly girder
simple tangle
#

Shark vs whale shark

raven brook
#

its been this way since hte lore got rewritten

worldly girder
#

Ya

#

Idk how I feel about non-worm scourge but that’s cool ig

simple tangle
#

DS outscales DoG

raven brook
#

Aquatic Scoruges are a oceanic species that filter feeds much like a whale and r kinda just #chill

Desert Scourge is a member of a now highly endangere dspecies that lived on the top layers of the sunken sea and had a predatory, crocodile-like lifestyle

#

there's also Sunken Scourges which were gonna be a enemy introduced in sso, or well, still will be eventually

#

They're a much smaller species of scourge that lives in the deeper waters of the sunken sea, acting as pack-hunting predators

simple tangle
#

Bull shark vs whale shark ig?

raven brook
#

i think a good comparison would be like

#

as is a whale shark yeah

#

ds (and its species) are like great whites i suppose

#

sunken scourges are like

worldly girder
#

So same species that got separated and evolved separately?

raven brook
#

blacktips

raven brook
#

the "separation" isnt because of the illmeris incineration or anything

green prairie
simple tangle
#

Yall should give AS redesign a buncha barnacles around its body

wanton pendant
simple tangle
#

And parasites n shit

raven brook
#

which is a mistake people oftne make thinkign the scourges r all like diff branches coming from the incineration

worldly girder
woeful karma
raven brook
#

theyre just species from a family that involved indepentendly over thousands of years just like

#

yk

#

how animals evolve irl lo

green prairie
tepid marten
woeful karma
#

amidias in khaki shorts and a t shirt about fishing 😭

worldly girder
#

Oh yeah Astrum Deus is staying a worm right?

raven brook
#

yeah

#

astrum deus, devourer and weaver r all probably staying worms

green prairie
raven brook
#

scourges r getting "dewormed" in their design

#

but will tsill be segmented enemies

woeful karma
worldly girder
#

Oh, odd

raven brook
#

(thoguh they will have entirely unique behavior not like generic worm bosses)

#

we know desert scourge will like

#

climb walls

simple tangle
#

Amidias used to wrestle Desert Scourges

raven brook
#

cuz yk

#

its a big lizard guy

#

lizard crocodile creaturoid

worldly girder
#

Seems like DoG is just getting de-eatered

green prairie
tepid marten
raven brook
#

But no full looks

#

Unfortunately prob won't for a while now that sso is likely getting delayed but, EVENTUALLY .

long bloom
#

leg

raven brook
#

I imagine aquatic scourge will be a generallly similarly reptilian design but have clear indication its species if far more adapted for a fully marine lifestyle

#

like

tepid marten
#

Sometime between now and the heat death of the universe

woeful karma
#

the most popular form of transport in ilmeris is one of these things

raven brook
#

probably actual fins

#

instead of legs

woeful karma
#

going out in the bayou to choot some scourges....

raven brook
#

and also yeah

#

i can imagine it looking a bit more mutated

#

aquatic scourges as a whole are a oceangoing species

#

but our specific as

worldly girder
#

Is that Mauler respite still happening

raven brook
#

seems to have liek. gotten stuck on the sulphur sea or something

#

so its probably

#

mutated a bit

wanton pendant
#

You gotta get one of these bad boys to drive in Ilmeris.

raven brook
#

compared to other members of its species

raven brook
green prairie
worldly girder
#

The this!!!

split mortar
#

Great white shark vs desert scourge

woeful karma
raven brook
#

im ngl i think desert scourge mogs

woeful karma
#

maybe it got washed in by a freak wave and is too big to get back out

raven brook
#

reason:

#

its a giant fucking fantasy animal

#

this is like pitching a monster hunter mosnter vs a irl dinosaur

worldly girder
split mortar
#

Damn

#

Megalodon vs desert scourge

raven brook
#

cuz

#

funny silva go br

simple tangle
#

I think a Meg just wins with size no?

raven brook
#

she speeds up life's ability to adapt in there alot

split mortar
#

And that its been happening for ages so evolution happenedp

raven brook
#

so stuff can even evolve rly quickly to things like. the water being fucking acidic

split mortar
raven brook
#

not to say i think the sulphur sea stuff should look boring or anything

#

but i will saay that they're not ALL suffering in agony pain necessarily

#

more so

#

the uh

#

nuclear waste

#

thats the actual bad part

#

its much more recent and even with silva's essence its uhh

worldly girder
#

Yea

raven brook
#

a bit

#

harder to adapt

#

to fucking

#

Nuclear Waste Poisoning

worldly girder
#

Who did that again?

raven brook
#

the toxicatfish entry is a good look into this

split mortar
#

Draedon

tepid marten
raven brook
#

they were actually very well adapted for the water's acidity

split mortar
#

Draedon dumped the nukes there

raven brook
#

and didn't really suffer from it

worldly girder
#

Draedom 😳

raven brook
#

theylived comfortable as ambush predators in there

#

but uhhhh

split mortar
#

Explode

tepid marten
#

Yk cause fuckign ecosystems is his thing wires

raven brook
#

when draedon dumped his radioactivity garbage in there

simple tangle
#

Desert Dcourge vs Reaper Leviathan

raven brook
#

yeah they kinda got fucked over

wanton pendant
#

Draedon gets a bit quirky when he has surplus nuclear waste.

raven brook
#

and now the toxicatfish is slowly decaying into extinction and the few surviving members are literally getting brain poisoning that makes them extremely hostile to the point its borderline suicidal

Do not lead the fish

WRONG

#

I removed that

Because it SUCKED

woeful karma
spare pier

AND NO ONE LIKED IT

raven brook

what di you remove

split mortar
#

Wait lead bones were real

woeful karma
#

removed what

raven brook
#

wait wre lead bones a thing

#

:sob

spare pier
#

The implication that Silva is helping Sulphurous Sea animals

woeful karma
#

😭

#

oh

split mortar
#

Ah

agile matrix
#

are they not

agile matrix
#

or are sulph sea animals just

#

really really fucking radiatedf

woeful karma
#

i liked it.,,

raven brook
#

I was under the imrpession her essence just kinda

#

sped up evolution

green prairie
worldly girder
spare pier
#

When I added that literally every single person I knew disliked it

raven brook
#

which is why things there adapted so fucking fast to shit like Sulphuric Acid within the span of like

#

a few hundred years

agile matrix
#

i was under the impression the Radiation did that

agile matrix
#

if you didnt adapt, you died

spare pier
worldly girder
#

Yeah that makes no sense otherwise

agile matrix
#

and if you did, you reproduced

wanton pendant
#

They're still eating her remains to get big, right?

raven brook
#

Like ok yeah

split mortar
#

😭

worldly girder
#

Idk why you would change that wires

raven brook
#

silva directly helping is kinda weird icl

woeful karma
raven brook
#

but i think just her essence

#

speeding up evolution

#

makes sense

agile matrix
#

you have like Five Days to NOT die to radioactive fumes

raven brook
#

and is directly still a thing in the abyss

spare pier
wanton pendant
#

Good. More squid.

worldly girder
spare pier
#

Like, bro

#

I remember when I wrote that

#

Azzy disliked it

wanton pendant
#

Means more calimari.
The harvest will be bountiful.

spare pier
#

Octo disliked it

worldly girder
#

Damn

spare pier
#

Stip disliked it

#

Cei disliked it

#

By that point I was just like

agile matrix
#

the entire council held hate for that

spare pier
#

"Ok damn"

woeful karma
#

where did i say this 😭

worldly girder
#

That's wild cause it's pretty cool lol

wanton pendant
#

It's not cannibalism if it's the Nature Elemental, right?

woeful karma
#

its cool and it makes sense

spare pier
#

I don't remember I just remember that you weren't fond of it

agile matrix
#

what was your exact phrasing on that

spare pier
#

😭

woeful karma
#

past me was tweaking

agile matrix
#

bc you mighta phrased it poorly

spare pier
#

But like

worldly girder
spare pier
#

Ultimately the implication was that it was Very Direct

raven brook
#

yeah

#

thats bad

#

i agree

#

not good!

spare pier
#

Like she was actively helping the creatures there survive

woeful karma
spare pier
#

Which no one liked

raven brook
#

just like

split mortar
#

Ye

worldly girder
#

Why is that bad exactly idk Silva characterization

raven brook
#

make it so her presence there just. turbocharges evolution

agile matrix
#

i mean Silva's kinda why Azafure exists right

wanton pendant
woeful karma
long bloom
woeful karma
#

she should be in a magic coma right now

split mortar
spare pier
#

Now there's nothing directly pointing at her helping but like

#

She could

worldly girder
#

Oh uh how long has she been dead

wanton pendant
split mortar
#

Good question

spare pier
raven brook
worldly girder
#

Like she could have helped them previously but can't anymore cause ded

spare pier
#

Is that it just makes the Sulphurous Sea less interesting

raven brook
#

Yeah i think

worldly girder
#

Hm, alr ig

agile matrix
#

it'd make more sense for anything below silva to be moreso ubercharged (see t3 abyss) and anything above to survive a bit better

raven brook
#

the organisms there actually evolving and stuff

#

is much cooler than

worldly girder
#

Makes the Mauler sprite make more sense

raven brook
#

god made them evolve, basically

#

god just uhhhh

spare pier
#

Like the whole thing with the biome is that despite being Hell Torture and fucked up and evil, life still thrives there and manages to find a way

raven brook
#

threw some ibuprofen on the water

#

🙂‍↕️

wanton pendant
raven brook
#

so they evolve better

#

🙂‍↕️ 🙂‍↕️

spare pier
#

If Silva was behind that then the thing is just gone

#

There's no "life finds a way" it's just

worldly girder
#

Fair nuff, and again the Mauler sprite does make more sense this way

spare pier
#

"Silva helped them"

worldly girder
#

Caustic burns and shit

agile matrix
#

"Hey guys! Here's the Not Dying Juices!"

#

all the "IM FUCKING BURNING ALIVE FUUUUUUUCKKKK" is gone

simple tangle
#

Is it weird the cal thing im most hyped up for is Master Mode pets n mounts

woeful karma
#

yeah i just think there should be a balance between life finding a way and making it believable that these creatures are not all dead

raven brook
#

master mode weaver pt

#

mine

#

now

worldly girder
#

We got calval idc

spare pier
#

I mean Calamity pushes biology really fucking far already so like

green prairie

I mostly care for the lore ive realised

spare pier

I think it's belieavable enough

personally what im most hyped for is if someone takes up the curse and makes rev+ moonlord

Mantis Shrimp are real.

i honestly like my fantasy settings better when they feel a bit more grounded in their ecology and stuff..... not necessarily realistic cuz its fuckin Fantasy but just. what im saying is monster hunter monster hnter has spoiled me

That's

Calval is cool but idk id love it to see baseCals take on it

"theres an addon for ot" isnt good enough grahh

im choosing to take that as a very big understatement

agile matrix
#

oh i see

raven brook
#

this is what happens when sun heat brimstone alva is mentioned

split mortar
agile matrix
#

is it warmer than the surface of the sun or the core of the sun

#

i gotta ask

spare pier
#

Surface

#

Well

split mortar
raven brook
split mortar
#

Why is that image so big

spare pier
#

Mantis Shrimps can reach temperatures comparable to the Sun's surface

Everyone knows Mantis Shrimp kicks are the ones hotter than the sun's core.

what exactly is the aerie?

wanton pendant
#

It's where Yharim is hiding like a little baby.

final kindle

things we know:

  1. draedon failed to detect it, theorized it's a pocket dimension
  2. it's where the dragons lived, and where yharim is currently at, and it's like a really big floating island
split mortar

Also fucky with time according to dev statements iirc

Yeah it's immune to time or something.

final kindle

how tf is the terrarian supposed to find it in the future?

Hope Yharim left a doormat.

split mortar
#

We dunno

final kindle
#

I'm personally just baffled by the requirements needed to get to the aerie, it doesn't make sense

split mortar
#

Unlikely to be with the two aerie items (the rock and probably the terminus) since boss rush meant to be post game optional thing and also kinda sucks

wanton pendant
#

Uh, I don't know, rock phone or something?

final kindle
#

rock phone...

woeful karma
final kindle
#

that makes sense

#

Terrarian would present the rock to Draedon

#

draedon would analyze it and find something special

#

use that to develop a technique

#

and detect the aerie

wanton pendant
#

Yharim doxxing technique.

woeful karma

Doesnt draedon say that other then letting us use exo tech they dont want to help us more or am i mosinterpreting

wanton pendant
wanton pendant

Not that he won't, he can't, he doesn't know how to reach him.

yeah because draedon knows fuck about the terminus or xeroc

wanton pendant

"Now. You wish to reach the Tyrant. I cannot assist you in that."
"It is not a matter of spite, for I would wish nothing more than to observe such a conflict."

final kindle
split mortar
#

Im against the idea of draedon knowing how to access the aerie cause the fight between yharim and terrarian being unknown until the winner exits lowk fire to me

final kindle
#

draedon doesn't know

#

My knowledge of the Dragon Aerie is limited. Yharim is adamant in protecting it. In recent history, only he and Yharon have trod there, and neither were inclined to share details about it.
Even if I dared to evoke Yharim's wrath, I cannot survey the Aerie. My attempts at locating it have been fruitless despite having surveyed this world's surface and skies many times over. Perhaps it avoids observation, as per some manner of cloaking. It is also possible it simply exists outside of conventional space, in a pocket dimension of sorts. Either case would make detecting it via my current methods drastically more difficult.
What I do know is that the Dragon Aerie is an unusually large sky island that acted as the sacred home of the Auric dragons. Few others were ever allowed to tread there, as a sort of religious sanctuary or holy ground.
It is also where Auric dragons would be laid to rest in preparation for their revival by Yharon. As their revival on the Aerie was a commonly accepted fact even at the start of recorded history, the sky island must be at least 2,000 years old, with Yharon himself being a similar age.
Considering the extraordinary power of the Auric dragons and the sanctity of the Dragon Aerie, I am left to ponder: did the Aerie make the Auric dragons powerful, or is the Aerie inundated with power due to their extended presence? Perhaps more importantly, what made them leave the safety of the Aerie even as their kind were being slain? I eagerly await the uncovering of such mysteries.

#

he knows nothing about the aerie

#

this is straight from the game

#

completely canon

split mortar
#

Yea

final kindle
#

it's safe to assume he also doesn't know about xeroc or the terminus

#

because xeroc says

final kindle
#

it's been idk how much

#

eons?

#

yeah he says eons

split mortar

Because the exos are not close to xerocs strength

and draedon is only 600 something

Aint eons like uh a billion years or smth

final kindle
#

wiat tf lemme check the quotes again

wanton pendant
#

I mean, he might, depends on how old he was when he ascended.
Since, he'd have to be 50 then to be 900.

#

Millenia is a 1000.

#

And Xeroc is exaggerating.

eons is usually used metaphorically to describe a really long time

yeah

split mortar

Ah

he says centuries, pergaps a millennia

but 1000 years is not enough time for an eon 😭

not eons I'm dumb

ok so draedon knows nothing about xeroc

so the Terrarian gets the rock from the aerie

none of it is official so it's headcanon

actual lore will probably be different

lowkenuinely modable btw

wanton pendant
#

Mod, disembowel.

final kindle
#

this is what WOTG should've been

#

originally nameless was supposed to be xeroc and avatar of emptiness was supposed to be noxus but lore changes and devs had a different vision so they made a pretty awesome addon instead

#

that doesn't conflict with calamity lore

#

this way, in the future we can have noxus, xeroc, yharim, solyn, ND, AoE all in a single playthrough

#

xeroc bossfight will probably never happen but yeah

#

xeroc feels way too unreachable

#

maybe you might be able to fight him and lose

never win

final kindle

you didn't read

#

I said wotg should've been about the distortion and the new lore and getting to the aerie, but that's obviously impossible because lore changed midway its development

no wotg should not have been about any of those things it would not have made it any good

woeful karma

wow that significantly changes my answer

#

now its no 👍

woeful karma

Wotg is seperating itself from calamity so that wouldnt work

Among many reasons

wanton pendant
#

Wrath of the Gods should have been about repairing a spaceship that was destroyed be a meteor on a hostile planet and it should have been called Pikmin.

woeful karma
#

TRUE

final kindle
leaden bridge
#

also the lore did not "change midway in development", lucille made noxus, then she made xeroc, designed by iban to be a take on God Universe and All and then it was decided noxus would be scrapped and a new boss with the darkness/entropy thematic branching off what nameless had thematically introduced would be made

Wrath of the Gods should have just been a game and about timeloops and have siffrin and be called in stars and time
