#

Anything else uh

#

Idk

compact ridge
#

Yeah I know all that but what about it makes it draconic does it like world soul chunks in it or something

split mortar
#

I headcanon that its the magic and power of the dragons body seeping into the world while the soul just exists

compact ridge
#

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

split mortar
#

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???

compact ridge
#

Faith*

#

Old Duke got fucked over by literal metal bc it would be funny as hell

split mortar
compact ridge
#

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

split mortar
compact ridge
#

That was made by a specific dragon

split mortar
compact ridge
#

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

split mortar
#

If its made of soul juice why would soul juice neutralise it

compact ridge
#

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)

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

split mortar
heavy zenith
#

Right, like im sure it takes quite some time for humans to go from existing to building the First Great City in the underworld

misty notch
#

whats the deal with yharim i saw people calling him a lying manipulative asshole

zenith geode
#

notice how there are whispers from him about the corruption and the crimson but not the hallow

misty notch
#

i didnt notice that

worldly spindle
#

That’s the funniest way to call him manipulative lmao

woeful hatch

#

i want to learn about the lore but everytime i beat a boss i just bin the whisper thingy

worldly spindle
#

I wanna learn the lore but I keep getting rid of the lore

woeful hatch

split mortar

#

why

#

bring back daedalus

#

mighty zenith

no

paper latch
#

nooooo

mighty zenith

daedalus draedon's creator theory

paper latch

ong

#

draedon's dad

split mortar
# split mortar No

If you really wanna you can headcanon the scientist dead infront of draedon when it turned on was daedalus but like eh

paper latch
#

ok wait that wouldnt make sense

paper latch
#

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

split mortar
split mortar

the one thing he fucked up killed him iirc

paper latch
mighty zenith

he was basically draedon and permafrost combined but with less relevance

paper latch
#

like before he had met calamitas i thinkk

split mortar
#

Even back then some of the stronger gods still died to him

#

cuz its a redo of Xeroc Armor

most likely will be in the future

do you guys remember when fabsol removed Engineering Genius Xanatos in 2017

leaden bridge
split mortar
#

Youve been saying that a lot recently did you recently hear of that or smth

paper latch
#

he stopped whole armies with nothing but primitive tools

#

so sad fabsol removed Xanatos in the lore

leaden bridge
#

Some things come from places it is better to keep hidden

paper latch
#

Xanatos has been silenced by the devs

#

theyre hiding the truth

split mortar
leaden bridge
#

All I'm saying is you need to let your curiosity become draedon

paper latch
#

am i actually the only one who remembers him?

Xanatos will come back in: Calamity Community Remix

paper latch
#

man i wish

#

Glory to Xanatos!

split mortar
#

Calamity Community Remix when Calamity Community Cover walks in

paper latch
#

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

paper latch
#

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

wanton pendant
#

What the hell are you all talking about?
Who the hell is Xanatos?

paper latch
#

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

wanton pendant
#

Ok, so Xanatos was Big Boss who had his accomplishments erased by the Patriots so we don't know about them.

paper latch
#

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

zenith geode
#

xanatos?

paper latch
wanton pendant
#

Add Punished Xanatos as a GFB boss.

paper latch
#

Xanatos was Xeroc's descendance in 2017

#

he wore the beloved Xeroc Armor on concept

#

Which is now renamed to Empyrean Armor

weary current
#

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?

zenith geode
#

good question

paper latch
#

it was Xanatos

zenith geode
#

one theory is that its a carbon monoxide induced hallucination

weary current
#

Also, does the new lore retroactively retcon itself to the pre-2.0 lore, including cut bosses like Astarageldon and BumbleBirb?

paper latch
weary current
#

I just enjoy reading the lore, not dying to Yharon 30 times in a row

compact ridge
dusk laurel
#

bumblebird isnt a cut boss it was just reworked into the dragonfolly ages ago

#

which also is getting remade sometime in the future anyways

pulsar ocean

zenith geode
#

boc, maybe prov maybe scal

dusk laurel
#

kozz moment

weary current
#

I have just played both versions

split mortar
#

Why would the current continuity of the lore include removed content

weary current
#

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.

split mortar
#

If you think about zelda timeline too seriously then a migraine spell from nintendo is cast on you

dusk laurel
#

nintendo curse

split mortar
weary current
#

Makes sense

minor knoll
#

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.

wanton pendant
#

What was a retcon in Metal Gear was the final boss not being Big Boss, but instead being Venom Snake.

dusk laurel
#

retcon wwg

wanton pendant
#

I will never be a memory.

raven brook
#

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

agile matrix
#

getting incinerated by dragonflame because the terrarian, quote, made it up

raven brook
#

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

#

😌

violet sparrow
#

you should make SSO about the buildup to old duke

This is how you drum up dev motivation to work on it again

he is a phoenix after all

he is so hot

he was the jungle dragon at the time of that sprite

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

it was braelor

heavy zenith

Sick thx

What exactly did Silva do then? Make plantera go on a rampage?

heavy zenith

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

sinful adder
#

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

raven brook
#

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

Not really

hollow pivot

The lore has had major revamps like once or twice.

raven brook
#

It changed like once 3? Years ago

hollow pivot
dusty pier
eager bluff
#

the last overwhelming change was in like 2022 and that wasnt that major of an overwhelming change because there wasnt much lore there atp

raven brook
#

There was the ancient ass fablore but we dont talk abt that

eager bluff
#

the rest has been additions

raven brook
#

Because the mod is unfinishes

eager bluff
#

its not changing the past theres just More Shit Now

raven brook

And so is tge ingame lore

split mortar
# dusty pier Keyword, "majorly"

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

hollow pivot

The lore thats actually ingame has barely got modifivqtions

#

There wss like the eol recon

#

Thats kinda it

#

Everytging else is just additions

dusty pier

#

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.

probably DoG too

raven brook
hollow pivot
#

So there's only been like 0.0.5 updates since Fabsol got removed.

terse moss
#

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

Sure

I'd imagine they wouldn't keep cows or grow many tree based fruits

cosmic zenith

They did

#

Not necessarily cows, but livestock for dairy production was definitely a thing

light linden

what

#

well I specified cows for a reason

glacial rampart

sky goats

they require a lot of space

cosmic zenith

The islands aren't all as tiny as the ones ingame, which definitely wouldn't support a whole civilization

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

what exactly are onyx kinsmen?

cosmic zenith
#

A clan of Signus/Slime God worshippers

light linden
#

they need a lot less space and/or resources than most livestock and are birds which fits the theming

fleet furnace
#

wait how is signus and slime god connected?

cosmic zenith
#

They are both worshipped....? They don't have any direct connection between them, the Onyx Kinsmen simply worships both for different reasons

fleet furnace
#

Although is there a reason as to why theyre worshipped by them or is it just coincidence

cosmic zenith
#

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

are the items dropped by profaned guardians talking about yharon when mentioning the dragon ?

No.

is it just a random dragon or are they important to the lore

am i mistaken, or the dragon aerie motif is present on "Unholy Insurgency"?

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

random mulch

well either i'd have to make a third row just for ravager or categorize agnus as a dragon

wanton pendant

Like, fifty guys is close enough to a dragon.

split mortar

Categorise agnus as a dragon you coward

random mulch

is it even clear how the whole god of blood thing even happened

split mortar

Ravager was the blood god after being revived

he rerolled his god

maybe the cultists just had jar o' dragon soul lying around idk

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

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 🙏

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)

For the gods we do know the eyes of

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

split mortar
wanton pendant
#

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.

hollow pivot
wanton pendant
split mortar
random mulch
#

space and time are one thing and gravity is merely it bending, which is why time dilation occurs in a gravitational field

hollow pivot

But I think if they do gravity it would be closer to just putting tons of weight on people at will.

We don't know exactly how many were killed by Moon Lord in a way that prevented ascension.

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.

this is my tragedy

That's right, Reign Of Yharim, only 9.99 Yharimbucks.

We don't know if it was exactly half nor do we know exactly how many dragons there were

such specific details r rather pointless to know

Sure, but it’s not definitely not just an earth thing

young socket

hmmm

raven brook

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

young socket

i wonder how much auric one auric soul could mock attune with

split mortar
raven brook

I think

#

its not about it being exclusive to terraria

#

its about it being a part of it

#

Cuz its the World Soul

dusk laurel

i remember hearing that its su- yeah

#

things that are important to terraria

raven brook
#

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

shit like the sun exists
