Yeah I know all that but what about it makes it draconic does it like world soul chunks in it or something
I headcanon that its the magic and power of the dragons body seeping into the world while the soul just exists
My headcanon is that the piece of the world soul that would’ve gone to old Duke got taken by some random dragon like a couple hundred years before got shoved into a massive pile of gold and it got put all over
Peak I know
The piece that woulda went to old duke went to the dragon of faith which dogma ate
Also aerialite is possibly a dragon metal as well???
There would’ve been 2 chunks left instead of the 1 that fair ate
Faith*
Old Duke got fucked over by literal metal bc it would be funny as hell
Maybe it depends on the dragons domain what the metal gets
Then
Why is auric like, electric explosive not fire rebirth
I mean I don’t think auric is a Yharon thing
It’s just a dragon thing
Yharon’s the only dragon around to fuck up and use soul-shavings on
Yeah but then what is aerialite the other dragon metal
That was made by a specific dragon
Yeah so then this applies no?
It’s like a draconic offchute it doesn’t have any soul juice it was just made by a dragon I think
Auric has soul juice and I guess soul juice is electric flavored
If its made of soul juice why would soul juice neutralise it
Soul juice gets mad if it touches the wrong style of soul so it kills you
If you give it the right stuff it’s happy and spares you (and everyone else if it’s mock attunement)
Electric like defibrillator.
You dont exist
Yet your optical sensors perceive me.
fucking nerd
I will invert your teeth.
I will reorganise your cells by alphabetical order.
I will put you into the glorbulator.
Is it safe to assume that humans have been around since time started being recorded (so 1800 some odd years ago?) Or did dragons start recording the numbered years before that or what
Azafure is a human settlement and its creation is what the start of the calendar is based on so yeah safe to assume humans existed before then imo
Right, like im sure it takes quite some time for humans to go from existing to building the First Great City in the underworld
whats the deal with yharim i saw people calling him a lying manipulative asshole
notice how there are whispers from him about the corruption and the crimson but not the hallow
i didnt notice that
That’s the funniest way to call him manipulative lmao
Ok so, the fact is that a lot of the stuff he says is clearly lying/manipulating us by changing/omitting details
i want to learn about the lore but everytime i beat a boss i just bin the whisper thingy

I wanna learn the lore but I keep getting rid of the lore
Anyways if you want there's some documents in the pins of this channel
It has most if not all of the publically available lore
Including some stuff that isn't in the game yet
i would like that thank you
thx choom
is daedalus mentionned on the new lore
No
no
nooooo
daedalus draedon's creator theory
If you really wanna you can headcanon the scientist dead infront of draedon when it turned on was daedalus but like eh
ok wait that wouldnt make sense
wait thats exactly what you said
im dumb
why isnt he mentioned anymore tho?
he was a literal genius
he was a threat to yharim iirc
and there were whole armies sent just to kill him iirc
Has no spot to fill
With how yharim is in new lore he would just die
the one thing he fucked up killed him iirc
i meant early yharim iirc
he was basically draedon and permafrost combined but with less relevance
like before he had met calamitas i thinkk
Even back then some of the stronger gods still died to him
imo if so, the daedalus set should get renamed
cuz its a redo of Xeroc Armor
Including the strongest non The Sun God
most likely will be in the future
yay
Yeah will almost certainly have that happen
daedalus getting wiped from the calamity timeline
he never existed in the first place
he can join ignalius in the azafure walmart
do you guys remember when fabsol removed Engineering Genius Xanatos in 2017
Well obviously dude, he climbed the miracle tower and his creativity became Andromeda and his Curiosity became Draedon
Youve been saying that a lot recently did you recently hear of that or smth
he stopped whole armies with nothing but primitive tools
so sad fabsol removed Xanatos in the lore
Some things come from places it is better to keep hidden
Ah so its still hidden ok
All I'm saying is you need to let your curiosity become draedon
am i actually the only one who remembers him?
Xanatos will come back in: Calamity Community Remix
Calamity Community Remix when Calamity Community Cover walks in
Calamity Community Remix when Calamity Community Original walks in
you guys think the fabled Xanatos will come back with Yharim?
He was so much of a genius, he managed to get trapped in his own invention which erased him from all timelines
Hmmm
By the defeat of Yharim, the timeline will get reset and will free Xanatos from his eternal prison
notice something funny, Xanatos has been erased completely from the Internet. Everything that mentions Xanatos has been taken down by the devs
What the hell are you all talking about?
Who the hell is Xanatos?
he was a character introduced and removed by the dreaded Fabsol in 2017
he wasnt an NPC or a Boss in the game, just a mention in the lore
At that time, Calamity did not have such a massive fandom, so the word never got across properly, and when it did, posts talking about it got taken down
Ok, so Xanatos was Big Boss who had his accomplishments erased by the Patriots so we don't know about them.
yes
It was in a very primitive era of Calamity, i was personally part of it. There have been concept of Xanatos as an Armored Chaos Elemental with Hair, although this is lost media silenced by the devs
xanatos?
Yes, he was the true inspiration of Thanatos
Add Punished Xanatos as a GFB boss.
Xanatos was Xeroc's descendance in 2017
he wore the beloved Xeroc Armor on concept
Which is now renamed to Empyrean Armor
Who was the Torch God in Calamity lore? I know he is Vanilla only, but being a "god", surely he was somewhere among Yharim's crusade?
good question
it was Xanatos
one theory is that its a carbon monoxide induced hallucination
Also, does the new lore retroactively retcon itself to the pre-2.0 lore, including cut bosses like Astarageldon and BumbleBirb?
I just enjoy reading the lore, not dying to Yharon 30 times in a row
What do you mean? Liek does it ignore those bc if that’s ur question yes cut content isn’t canon
bumblebird isnt a cut boss it was just reworked into the dragonfolly ages ago
which also is getting remade sometime in the future anyways
which boss isn’t
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha
Hahahahahaahhahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahah
boc, maybe prov maybe scal
Whar
kozz moment
I have just played both versions
All we know is its bestiary entry
Why would the current continuity of the lore include removed content
I just know games like Metal Gear and Zelda frequently retcon their past lore to say things like "The real reason Big Boss betraayed Snake at Outer Heaven is because of the Patriots" or stuff.
If you think about zelda timeline too seriously then a migraine spell from nintendo is cast on you
nintendo curse
Also no the lore just retcons things normally
One mod so no need to pull that stuff
Makes sense
There is no continuity across multiple games that weren't made with each other in mind, so nonsense like that doesn't need to happen.
Zelda doesn't frequently retcon stuff, and introducing new information isn't a retcon.
What was a retcon in Metal Gear was the final boss not being Big Boss, but instead being Venom Snake.
retcon wwg
I will never be a memory.
i'm still a ifrm believer of torch god isn't actually real and is just a carbon monoxide overdose hallucination theory
even the torch god theme lyrics indirectly support that
it fits
getting incinerated by dragonflame because the terrarian, quote, made it up
yeah it's cuz ur overdosing and dying
ur hallucinating that ur being set on fire
if you survive torch god that just means you survived not dying to the overdose
😌
you should make SSO about the buildup to old duke
This is how you drum up dev motivation to work on it again
But Old Duke isn't in the Sunken Sea.
not with that attitude
Introducing an invasive species to a fragile ecosystem? Perish the thought.
Yes.
Expect yharim in like 10 years maybe
Give or take
7 if we're lucky
I’m jealous of the new generation when they get to like 15 and buy terraria yharim is already gonna be in calamity mod
precisely one year before the mod was created to the hour
i think the completed calamity mod might genuinely kill someone through sheer peak
Imagine being a kid in 2045 and you download calamity mod and yharon genuinely looks like the most beautiful thing ever and you get to fight yharim and noxus and xeroc
And fables sunless sea update just dropped
instantaneous explosion
yharon sprite sucks
very funny
you think its good?
this one is
This is ugly?
a bird with hands?
How the fuck Is that a bird with hands
Genuinely what sort of birds do you see
I wanna go there too
Concerning.
And get one as a pet
that is 18 things before a bird
its a dragon with bird features
Yeah that's probably the Phoenix theming.
because its based on a phoenix
if feathers were the only thing required for birds we could all be birds
This guy would fit in a jungle
Yes that is a dragon with feathers
Is Quetzalcoatl a bird too?
No, we're men, as we're featherless bipeds.

Yharon looks like a phoenix because rebirth
woaw,
its like he's some kind of dragon god, yharon
yeah that one sucks
ainnoway yall think this is good
Yeah that one is getting scrapped.
it was quite good for its time
it's going away
That sucks
and now it is Not
but the standards have risen so much since then
Random shadowspec on the yhar
how about the green tumors in his wings
leaves
the thing I'm wondering
are those supposed to be scales?
i thought those were feathers or at least the vague idea of them
feathers?
i would say feather
definitely
he is a phoenix after all
he is so hot
and
cool
he was the jungle dragon at the time of that sprite
i'll always call then tumors because they look disgusting
now he is dragon of rebirth?
no phoenix in sight then
yeah
yes
ahaha
dragons in lore looked very different
Looks more edible than the new sprite
vetrasyl is a wyvern
that video is 95% changes to the vanilla bestiary
Made of chicken 
Don't look at videos.
old duke is a fishron
That sprite is almost a decade old.
nah i know which video they're talking about
the person who made it actually keeps up with the updates and knows what the lore is
then how do i know lore, im lazy, ion have much time either
Second pin has everything beyond just in game.
I think the rules explicitly state to read pins in every channel.
omaigah
it does
dont ban me mods
im just an innocent player
🥺
gamers dont look up
that rule is more of a recommendation
unless you're actively being problematic about it
can you send barbarian
but most people just. go and read the pins and move on lol
im dum dum
thanks for letting me know about the pins
sometimes i literally forget that pin feature exists
I'm trying to cut back on spam so just take a link to Barbarianthinking.png.

from: trianglepixel has: file | 2025.9.22 03:03 EST
The organisms are loud today
the cryptid utters a noise in this hollow land
Vanillin shenanigans when
I've never seen that animation what...

I’ve seen that animation
TRUE and confirmed by the DEVELOPERS: yharim
nuh uh
If he is in the game, why can’t I fight him 🤔
FALSE and SPURNED by OZZATRON: You deserve mercy.
Pardon
how would Xeroc react if an early-game terrarian crawled through the Abyss, grabbed the terminus, then used it to summon the Boss Rush and immediately getting murdered by King Slime
You can do that in game
What if we used our imaginations tho
In game he doesn’t care
Because he’s scripted to say the same thing
Imagines xeroc as gay
yes, imagination is Good
we were all designed to Think
Why us specifically
What makes us different from other species
Are there more like us out there
What led to all of this
a Thinking Mind that can brew up conundrums like “How would [Character X] react if they brutally murdered [Character Y] accidentally”
unfortunately this is the #lore-discussion not philosophy channel..
It’s sometimes just so insane to think about us going from basically nothing to having everything in the span of like 200 years from 1800
People 200 years ago wouldn’t even comprehend a concept of a smartphone or a personal computer
What going to happen in 200 years from now?
Nobody knows
What makes mankind so special
Thumbs.
Why is kozz speaking like colgator
Bigger brain
They're the same person, haven't you figured that out yet?
The vibes do not align
Oh, but I have British vibes?
Yes
See, proof your vibe detector is faulty.
Nah
The hell do you mean 'nah'!?
Do we have a canon design for xeroc?
Xeroc as a human.
P.S. WHY IS XEROC ON THE VILLAINS WIKI!?
This is pre ascension?
Yes.
Technically he’s the root of like all the genocide against dragons
Which is pretty bad
That is one heck of a spear to be holding like that
I read the entry. I genuinely think Yharim himself wrote it.
😭
I’m gonna have to read it
okay first off wtf is your pfp
Dragons had it coming 
Dragons lowk overrated.
was that amidias?
yeah
was indeed
Amidias decided to become a Resident Evil boss.
Was Silva referring to Braelor in the Blossom Flux entry when she was talking about taking away the guardian of Vernal Pass? I also kind of interpreted it as maybe the Dragon of Life couldve been their guardian too
Sick thx
What exactly did Silva do then? Make plantera go on a rampage?
Pretty sure the opposite
I think she just felt bad for taking Braelor from Vernal Pass letting Plantera ravage the whole place in his absence
opposite
I see
basically plantera was the response of the villagers in the vernal pass to braelor leaving
plantera went on a rampage and presumably killed everyone
silva is making it guard the vernal pass now
Ok I thought so, just wasn't sure exactly
What item does that description come from?
gruesome eminence?
one of the exhumes
probably not post-ascension but pre-ascension yes
oh it's devil's devastation
i remembered
meow
exhume dialogue is red, this is purplish-crimson
Bro why did you take 10 days to respond?
I didn’t I just remembered reading that exact same text from your picture but I forgot where it was from so I searched up “brimstone” in the search bar for this channel and thankfully you had it
Oh that makes sense actually.
Does this confirm the devourer of gods is male or?(storm weaver new lore item)
i'm like 99% sure DoG was implied masculine
for all i know he's got nothing Genderwise but masc makes sense
Well this refers to it as "he" so I am guessing it is a male(or more prone to a male), and why does it want to kill the storm weaver???
im half sure he's scared of it
Weaver theoru
not exactly male
Weaver numero um campeao do mundo
more thats just what its been assigned
Dog wants to kill Storm Weaver because it's outside the control of Noxus iIrc.
New cheese pfp
Yeah, why
As it is implied the "to powerful to hold" is a lie
Isnt this old lore???
no
Wait DoG follows noxus???
Weaver theory
No old lore weaver was d9gs adopred son
Storm Weaver was a servant for Dog in Old Lore right?
Yes
Old lore had weaver be dogs adopted son i think???? Idr
Who else does?
Most of the distortion
What?
I mean, I thought they were freindly
signus and storm weaver and moon lord are the guys that dont
When Dog eats gods their essence goes to Noxus.
Ceaseless Void isn't sentient afaIk.
Ohh, so is that against yharim or?
Yeah ceaseless is effectively a door
Noxus wants to end the world
So does DoG not grow stronger?
Portal is more like it
Dog would only grow stronger if Noxus gives him more power as a reward.
What are portals but doors
cv is a door with a claymore strapped to it
Door fight
But we don't know if Noxus does that still.
Doors aint taking you to another dimension or some of that tho
portal is a synonym of door or entrance
Weaver theory tldr
Weaver is likely a prototype DoG (Implied) that broke free and isnt a part of its hivemind (Confirmed) and poses a direct threat to Noxus cuz it has "similar powers" thus implies the same essence consumption (Implied) and since unlike DoG, there is no connection to Noxus, the essence just goes directly to weaver, being a huge wrench in Noxus's plan to absorb essence and thats y dog wants to kill weaver rly bad
The doors you have went through sound lame idk
so yes a portal is a door
None of the distortion guys gaf abt yharim
DoG works for him but only for his own agenda
only dog does but thats because where yharim goes gods tend to die
Is NOXUS against yharim?
Not rly
Noxus is pretty Neutral afaIk.
He just wants to get power and he doesn't care how.
noxus is pretty evil i think
I think Noxus in Calamity is closer to Chaotic Neutral than Chaotic Evil.
Ok now, how many parties are there in this mod
I thought it was:
Yharim's army
Gods yharim kills
Noxus does wanna end the world though
So yharim would probably oppose noxus if he knew
Because to my understanding he doesn't do things out of malice or go out of his way to do evil, he just absorbs power because he wants to.
Theres a hive mind it controls
Tvats abt what we know
We have no idea what its ideals or personalitu or anuyhing is
Gods werent a united force so gods alone were many sides
The gods are literally just random people who absorb souls for the most part.
Its not as simple as just factions,
Its a entire world
With difgerent nations, histories, organisms and people
Ok, what the f*** is going on this lore???
Calamity is filled with tons of people.
Despite Yharim killing half the population, I doubt that means half the population were god worshippers.
its a world
Devs trying to make the world an actual planet.
Yeah, with chaning history too huh?
What?
since when
Huh?
I'd be disappointed in stories that don't have worldbuilding.
The lore itself keeps changing
Not really
The lore has had major revamps like once or twice.
Hasnt ddone so majorly in years
It changed like once 3? Years ago
The thing is the lore is still being developed to some degree, and is being told to us to a lesser degree.
Keyword, "majorly"
the last overwhelming change was in like 2022 and that wasnt that major of an overwhelming change because there wasnt much lore there atp
There was the ancient ass fablore but we dont talk abt that
the rest has been additions
It just got more stuff added
Because the mod is unfinishes
its not changing the past theres just More Shit Now
And so is tge ingame lore
Yeah things like what empress is might have been retconned to be a demigod idk but like other then that idk if its been changed or added on
The information changes because a reasonable portion of the lore is told by individual devs which is very subject to change as there's not just one writer.
Man, by the time this mod is "finished" Imma have grandkids 😭
The lore thats actually ingame has barely got modifivqtions
There wss like the eol recon
Thats kinda it
Everytging else is just additions
So no major changes?
In-game lore is far more stagnant than Discord lore because the devs seem to be more picky with what they put in the game than what they post in the Discord; which makes sense.
Yeah as i said no major changes in years
Since 2022?
Was that when the rewrite started idrm
What time did Fabsol get removed from the mod?
Well thats fair, imma go read that stuff, its actually pretty good(incomplete) lore
it was sometime around there
Last year
2025 was when he got removed?
yeah
Yea
25 bullet theory
22 is when one bullet killed 22 devs
22 birds with one stone.
25 is when 25 bullets killed 1 dev
25 is when a single guy was shot 25 times by 25 different people
thats crazy
Yeah it ws pretty recent
how much of brainstorm has been made since then
probably DoG too
Considering most of it was weapon reworks devs made to kill time cuz they didny hsve much else to do on the fabregime, yeah
So there's only been like 0.0.5 updates since Fabsol got removed.
I was just wondering because I was speculating on what the average update pipeline might look like now. I know a lot of devs said they wanted, shorter, more frequent updates, and obviously nothing is set in stone, but is that like 4 months, 8 months, a year, two? I just wonder how things will end up shaking out
I hope that there can be less dev hell lol
How horrible.
this server has ruined my perception of that word in but a few short days
yeah
Which word?
Hog update tomorrow or something
horrible
Man, that's ... 👀
Hog
rider
There should be a hog mini update
We need a cow mini update.
Its just the horrible hog and divine swing and old duke resprite and literally nothing else
Explain this.
The hog.
ai
Pre-hog
an old duke update has been said to fundamentally rework the fight, introduce a new miniboss and a questline
not exactly mini i don't think
You guys should call Old Duke's predictive targeting Prehognition

ooh, fun
I can't be bothered to make this right now, but imagine MUI goku with a poorly photosopped picture of old duke on his face
Nuh uh
have u played the game dude
Signus fight so short bro.
<30
he has like 3 health
heart
oh i just remembered
ozz posted this in patreon like an hour after triangle spoiled all the old duke plans (likely without knowing he did so)
very funny
I need one of those incredibly cursed ozz memes
I don't have any at the ready
yeah there we go
What is Ozzatron's PFP from?
idk honestly
the main character of control (the game)
jesse i think
I read that as Jesus and got so confused
the picture is taken from the steam page
Scions curio mentioning ozzacoins
i saw it once and got jumpscared
Why would I do this
tteo
holy sigma, gyattman
was ireland named like
spite land. like ire means spite or hatred etc
was it named like that on purpose or is that a coincidence to do with some other words or wacky translation
Ireland, as in land of the Irish.
Probably misinterpretation of Éire.
Place names in Ireland are just the original name written in English because it was too hard to pronounce.
is auric tesla weaker than pure auric metal
another dragon on the pile
I'm so confused like is auric armor the player wears is just the same as yharim's own armor
His is upgraded.
dragons aint really looking too good
And isn't using mock attuned Auric Metal.
The next boss after SCal and exos is yharim himself right?
yes
Correct.
I hope I'm alive by the turn of the decade to see the yharim update come out!
Wait...
we have four years left in the decade...
Nevermind I'll wait 15 years instead!
never heard that one before
daring today aren't we
Is there any specific reason Ilmeris is named Ilmeris? Speaking in the irl context, is there any story behind the name or is it just because it sounds cool?
why are ravager and agnus separate on this chart
did they retcon ravager being the resurrected corpse of agnus
@void sapphire
hi stip
Give me a bit to type it out.
its infused with draedons exotechnology iirc
Ilmeris is named after an ancient lake/ inland sea in the Netherlands called Aelmere or Almere. But since we already had a settlement starting with an A (Azafure) we changed the lettering of it and it became Ilmeris
Yharims armor is 1. Infused with exotech and 2. Yharim has real attunement to auric which iirc makes it stronger than ours
Ooooooh nice
What about Azafure?
We didn’t want two settlement names with an A at the beginning
That's fair
now i cant help but imagine amidias having a dutch accent lmao
Probably gonna speak Frisian…
Hello
For transparency, the reason I asked is because I'm planning to use Calamity as a setting for a TTRPG I'm gonna run with some friends
Cuz I think it's cool
I'll probably be coming here every now and then for that reason if that's alright 🙏
may I ask a question about chrysadia?
Sure
what food sources did they absolutely not have?
I'd imagine they wouldn't keep cows or grow many tree based fruits
They did
Not necessarily cows, but livestock for dairy production was definitely a thing
sky goats
they require a lot of space
The islands aren't all as tiny as the ones ingame, which definitely wouldn't support a whole civilization
and considering how dumb cows are from my experience
I wouldn't trust them travelling between islands
I dunno about cows, I haven't gotten to this level of specificity, but probably not...? I was gonna research other animals
You open to suggestions?
Yeah
Chickens
what exactly are onyx kinsmen?
A clan of Signus/Slime God worshippers
they need a lot less space and/or resources than most livestock and are birds which fits the theming
wait how is signus and slime god connected?
They are both worshipped....? They don't have any direct connection between them, the Onyx Kinsmen simply worships both for different reasons
oh I see, I simply thought they got a connection since the same fraction worships them
Although is there a reason as to why theyre worshipped by them or is it just coincidence
Yes, there is a reason
The Kinsmen worship Slime God for its sense of strategy and pursuit of balance
They worship Signus as a mysterious entity which provides boons through bargain
Signus reminds me a lot of Nocturnal from TES
if i had to worship slime god id kill myself
You're thinking of samurai.
Slime God is peak wdym
who's samurai?
They were a social class in Japan, similar to knights.
oh in that sense
I thought it was something in calamity
are the items dropped by profaned guardians talking about yharon when mentioning the dragon ?
No.
Unless I'm mistaken in my memory, they should be discussing the Dragon of Flame.
who's that exactly?
is it just a random dragon or are they important to the lore
It was the malevolent dragon Providence and the Guardians slew to achieve divinity.
oh I see
explains why they hate him so much
am i mistaken, or the dragon aerie motif is present on "Unholy Insurgency"?
Dragon Aerie Motif?
hmm yeah, i don't know if it's the official name, but i've seen it before in a video
it's a 2 year old video, so they might have changed it too
i can send it to you if ur interested
id like to avoid sending links here
Alright then.
whys that
i'm not sure how automod works here
u can send yt links
do not fret
alright next time i wont be afraid
yippee
its so funny that ravager is separated from agnus, and as a consequence of the format it implies theres another auric dragon of unknown nature that got succed to form ravager
well either i'd have to make a third row just for ravager or categorize agnus as a dragon
Like, fifty guys is close enough to a dragon.
Categorise agnus as a dragon you coward
is it even clear how the whole god of blood thing even happened
maybe the cultists just had jar o' dragon soul lying around idk
I highly doubt there was an auric soul available that far into the crusade no less, Not even the god era.
Just feels like it goes against stuff calamity set up but cant pinpoint why rn
seemingly the resurrection combined with agnus' domain made it degenerate even further
Necromancy is known to enshitify things so that tracks
Dragon-in-a-Can.
we know necromancy sucks ass when it comes to actually bringing People back, and Blood feels related enough to Sacrifice that i think it'd be weird if there was inexplicably another dragon involved
perhaps
i have a compromise
whar
mind dragon got fucking eaten bro
that's why there's no associated god 
Isnt ravager two gods or sumn
whar
ok for now just this
old lore probably associated with the fact that its current sprite has two skulls
yeah ik
I thought ravager was agnus and some other guy
JUST SAY POINT TO AGNUS
Necromancied together
Well, a bunch of guys.
Like 50 people sacrificed themselves to revive agnus
why did you remove the white text outline though
it's nearly impossible to read no associated god
i would
happy?
To torture you.
hii
Hiii
Hello.
forgot to add it back and even then i have to redo it every time i change the text

better 👍
i walked for 5 hours to & back with one of my actors to discover the spot we were going to use for filming was chained up, condemned & now an active construction site
I WILL be failing Moving Image & the rapids of the river will claim my soul
Whats with the gap between yharon and zeratros
I see
hm
give it an image that's jsut agnus's face but the eyes are hastily crossed out
i thought it was evil/good
When does the scavenger come in
agnuts
SSO.
Scavengers are sso
scavengers might have the mandate of heaven (not being put into the ideas grinder when sso is actually made by the new team and not just the old pre22 plans)
maybe
idk
they dont seem linked to any of the old plans besides being in one of the subbiomes
one thing i still need tho is desert worldgen being changed by cal to fit in better with their eventual ss plans 🙏
true
The cost keeps sinking
calamity players when they learn sso hasnt been worked on since december (okay being frank there wasnt allat much done especially when most of the team was working for things unrelated to it at all, so not much has changed besides there being an actual goal the devs want to work towards)
Also I didnt Even mean to mention SSO i just wanted to make a joke about Green Ravager but I thought its name was Scavenger
grteen
the sprite was reused from a scrapped miniboss named the scavenger
so yeah
peak
Oh peak
peak
only thing it needs is the color aroudn agnus's slot to make his... erm, lineage towards ravager more clear
Calamity mod if they had added Super Corruptor:
guess i'll just leave it like this for now
Are Providence's eyes the things in green or the things in red?
red
red
I always thought the green was Providence's eyes.
That explains why the sprite always looked so goofy to me.
her eyes are on her head, what you thought was the eyes are just gaps in the neck(?) armor
I never saw that as a band around her neck so it looked like this was all head.
nose
The nostrils might be the cracks in the stone.
Was Yharim ever driven insane by Agnus' 3rd eye?
Yharims already delusional
Can't break what's already broken ahh.
byeah this is her actual head
Crazy ears.
Why do the gods have odd numbers of eyes?
Then what is this?
idunno some weird lil extra bit
Silva is an elemental though and a perfect ascension.
still a god
Perhaps Perfect Ascensions give you an even number of eyes?
really specific thing
🤷♂️
just a random hole
We'll see if Xeroc has 2 eyes when we see his post-ascension form in like 50 years.
provi has a lot of exposed area
For the gods we do know the eyes of
Gods change based on how much they let their godhood define them iirc, extra or less eyes is probably one of the first symptoms of ones humanity being different due to thematic reasons n stuff
Wait is that sprite not out of date anyways?
Unlikely she gets a resprite due to hell torture iirc
it's old but it's acceptable
there are no concrete plans to resprite her so
(unlike a certain dragon)
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
But what are the roots?
Roots are usually alive so it doesn't really fit the theme of Providence.
Is their a limit on what can and cannot be a domain? (Domain of human, domain of defecation, domain of time, etc)
Dragons seem much more
Of the planets stuff
Meanwhile a god can be as fundamental as emptiness
So can there be a space/time god?
Shakidou before being retconned into the emptiness god was the space god
I think having a time god would kinda kill stakes.
Space as in distance and geometry
preferrably shed be resprited but that depends entirerly if the artists would want to dedicate time respriting her, and at that point she might as well be redesigned
you just gotta out-bullshit the time manipulation
But yeah if there is a rule i imagine no time domain or atleast heavy restrictions
That’s part of why I ask
yharim refuses to acknowledge a god that broken, and thus he is unaffected 
Seems like some domains can just be incredibly op and their don’t seem to be many restrictions on what can and cannot be a domain
Well ig the restriction for gods is they have to be related to a dragons domain
So time probably not happening since the night dragon and effectively day dragon got used up
Space/Time/Gravity are basically banned due to being a nightmare to balance.
Beyond that I think it just has to be something that can be found on Terraria.
I think gravity is some-what managable unlike time travel.
Bad news, Gravity, Time and Space are all the same thing technically.
I thought that rule only applies for dragons?
I mean to a degree.
space and time are one thing and gravity is merely it bending, which is why time dilation occurs in a gravitational field
But I think if they do gravity it would be closer to just putting tons of weight on people at will.
theres a lot of gods that woulda lost the stakes
would still be pretty busted
Such as?
the gods
either they can barely move or get reduced to red sludge
God Of The Sun methinks
I think devs said thery don't wanna do time powers cuz theyre messy to wrok with but dont quote me on that
Makes your blood flood to your legs due to gravity for free
the humble xeroc
But why put weight on people when you can just obliterate them with the full concentrated power of the sun?
thats my point
Theres stakes with noxus
u can have a character with timer powers and it can still have stakes
but devs just dontw anna work with time powers
again, afaik
dont quote me on that
"oh yeah he's threatened if Satan From The Bible shows up"
they can be easily convoluted and messy if not handled well
Time Travel is a nightmare to make without creating the most specific and insane thing ever.
too busy watching for world ending threats
God of time traps yharim in the adventure time magic man time bubble thing
So I suppose there isn’t an in universe lore reason for time domains absence. It just kinda never happened?
god of Time gods back in Time to the first thanksgiving to absorb the world soul.
Yeah.
Yeah i suppose so
I mean,
Like, there were only like, a few thousand dragons probably.
Can't have literally every single concept in that few.
what auric soul would even turn into time
Dragon of Wine.
Is it confirmed to be thousand? I thought like maybe a couple dozen to a hundred
Night or primordial light imo
Since day and night are time related
And both are used up
Its the most commonly went with number iirc
Previous head writer wrote with 3000 in mind.
I don't think there really is a confirmed set number cuz thats a very specific detail that wouldnt amount to much, knowing it or not
If there were only a couple dozen, the Crusade would have been very short.
But there weres omewhere in the thousands
There was a entire civilization and society of em after all
I think certain things just aren't part of Terraria's world soul because they need to be universal things.
I also thought there were 10-100 auric souls at first.
Or just the world soul isnt grand enough to latch onto such fundamental forces
Nah there's 3,000 auric dragons half of which were killed by Fovos.
If there were only ten, then Yharim did a terrible job at killing them.
All but 1 of the 1,500 left were absorbed by gods.
ik a fellow roydev thought there were only around 10 auric dragons too and they were like a knight of the round table type thing where its a small order tather than a whole ass society
That's speculation.
Lmao
We don't know exactly how many were killed by Moon Lord in a way that prevented ascension.
is this your way of advertising roy today...
It's just math because we know there are about 3,000 Auric Dragons, half are killed by Fovos rest are used to ascend excluding Yharon the only dragon left.
cant even mention roy anymore and people accuse me of shilling
this is my tragedy
im cheese gaming
That's right, Reign Of Yharim, only 9.99 Yharimbucks.
Emptiness seems very fundamental
Wait is half the dragons being killed by Fovos not true?
We don't know if it's exactly half.
And we do know that dragons used to power Fovos' army can at least sometimes still be used to ascend.
(Life, Primordial Light, Storms.)
Emptiness is a step below spacetime imo
We don't know if it was exactly half nor do we know exactly how many dragons there were
As i said prior
such specific details r rather pointless to know
Sure, but it’s not definitely not just an earth thing
hmmm
We know there were alot of dragons, enough for there to be a entire civilization, around the thousands
Moon Lord could have killed like, 75% but only 20% couldn't be salvaged, for instance. We don't know exactly how the fight went down, only that it was a very close victory for the dragons.
and they were massacred by fovos, leaving around half
i wonder how much auric one auric soul could mock attune with
Barely anything is just a terraria thing? Theres life on other planets and also fire or tides
I think
its not about it being exclusive to terraria
its about it being a part of it
Cuz its the World Soul
the auric domains are just (derived from) fragments of the world soul, so it makes sense theyre all things from, yk, the world
xeroc, despite being effectively being the sun god
has the domain of basically sunlight
not domain of the sun
which,
if you consider sunlight reaches terraria but the sun itself is Out There
if it required exclusivitythe life domain wouldnt exist cuz theres 3 other extraterrestrial habitats
yeah

martians, astrum deus
Distortion.
you could argue the distortion also counts
elements/weather events, the life cycle, light, etc.
oh and theres gluttony too yk you gotta eat just ask melon gun
and i imagine theres probably more life out there too
It does its part of the universe just fucked up
surely astrum dei aren't, the only space fauna
yeah but i think you could kinda argue it still counts as part of terraria but we dont rly know enough abt it atm to say for sure
Is the distortion just a far away place or another dimension?
It's
in the middle
It's!
Broken spacetime...
It's.
its not actually a different dimension but its somewhere
its described as fractured spacetime so do with that as you will
and you cant reach it by normal means
Its a fissure in spacetime eating energy from the universe iirc the ml bestiary correct
It's definitely some sort of parallel realm and not as simple as just a physical place thats far away but its also not really a fully separate dimension probably ?
yeah
we probably wont really know much in regards to its details
until its. real
That's where they put Phantom Ganon.
Walking there doesnt work due to fucked up spacetime shenanigans but its still an extension of the universe
Hell we dont know if the distortion is just a cosmologically local thing only affecting this planet system or like
universe cancer
the distortion sure is
reference.
are there even other solar systems or galaxies
Whar
i dont see why there wouldnt
probably
No need to name our planet system as a planet system when its the only thing
Like there'ws no reason to go into it cuz we're not leaving terraria
draedon space log?
but theres no reason they wouldn't exist either
I assume they work very different from what we might think due to stars being tiny
Tbf it varies
Never read those, draetalk calls it planet system
you'd need more suns
Fallen stars are tiny
But no reason there couldnt be bigger mana stars
Or things like the sun
Just because we haven't seen them dosen't mean they don't exist
Astral meteor is like house sized
Can stars in calamity get as big as irl stars?
Yeah theres that too
embers establishes there are providence sized stars
¯_(ツ)_/¯
probably not
I know they get big but I don’t know
I doubt its a detail taht will ever get explored
cuz its entirely irrelevant
But like,
I highly doubt it
The astral seems to be an extra bloated one so is prob the upper limit
no reason why you cant speculate otherwise
@split mortar
we see tiny fallen stars but nothings saying there can be bigger stars out there
sometimes things can be overexplained
They can still be made of mana, or theyt can be more unique like the pl sun
Yeah that tracks with astral as the upper limit…
use your 💖 imagination 💖
does naything say theyre the upper limit
luckily i have yhadrill instead
There could also be evil things in space, like the moon.
providence is significantly bigger than the astral meteor
i feel like you guys are just assuming too much
like
this is waht we see ingame
so its all there is
when like,
its like a soft limit
it ssimply isnt something that we see bc it dosent need to be explored
theres no reason to go in the indepth intricacies of space
cuz its not relevant to this story or the worldbuilding which is mostly abt terraria itself
where is this said though
technically you can make a star bigger but natural stars absorb all their surrounding mana at a certai n point
and just
where is this said though ,
Its said they are bloated and p sure bloat results in being bigger
Draetalk of astral i think
Yeah bloated stars r bigger but that can just be a smaller star that got bloated, much like ingame fallen stars
he says with nothing left to blah blah astral shenanigans
adn even if ur not accounting for smaller fallen stars again,
shit like the sun exists
which functions effectively much like the irl sun still its just made of fancy magic light
rather than idk helium or whatever
there is no reason why similar things couldnt exist
elsewhere
Plot twist: Primodial Light is just Helium, somehow.
And Xeroc has a really squeaky voice.
xeroc the god of hydrogen propane dioxide
Party Girl is his one and only priestess.
That's why Xeroc never loses a fight, he makes people laugh so hard they die.
Who's the god of Carbon Monoxide?
torch god
Oh wait yeah that is the Torch god.
But could there be a god of thyme?
Not cannon I don’t think
Providence's cousin, Coughidence.
wwg is not in the inner circle
