how dare
3 weeks? And one of them had minimal progress due to uni at the time
Bram Stoker's Dracula is 500 pages
i am ltierally one of the 10 people that loves the interfishions
you can read it today
How is she so good at this shit man?
ur burning daylight go go go go
Yeah, from 1966.
that wasnt her
i just, like
clal thm that
because it's true

I have an hour and ten minutes.
We have long since run out of daylight.
then you'd better read fast
That day is occupied by other affairs.
cancel them and read dracula
read my book series
Alright, I'll have to kill someone though to stop them from aging.
none of you have time to read....
chucking nugget
that's fair
hello amethyst
read 17776
17776 is like homestuck if it was about football
That sounds like it's AMERICAN YEEHAW!
barely about football tbh
larger than that
they literally run to the ends of the earth playing foot ball :\
yea but thats not the meaning of the story
they talk quite a lot
i've personally never heard them talk in all my years of watching football
i was even a player the last 200 years
this a bad time?
FINALLY!
could you even cook a flarefin koi?
since they're effectively living fire
no
maybe you could cut it into thin slices and eat it raw
i think you'd have to freeze it
flarefin koi popsicle
Yummy fire fish 🤤
the only fish they could easily get and eat live in lava
the azafure is a trade city and they likely just imported actual fish
i do think they fished tho
?
where did they get salt?
azafurians ate each other
one of the most common minerals on earth
probably also trade or just natural mineral deposits since they live in mineral land
ok I should've specified
where did illmerians?
I remember the sunken sea being said to not be salt water
i think it'd be silly to assume that ilmer cuisine was salty at all
they'd have fish spices
Azafurians should eat rocks out of respect to their beloved Brimstone Elemental’s casing
syrup
it's not flavor
it's preservation I am thinking of
yeah. i literally don't think they'd use salt for that
it would just dissolve into the water
they'd likely just make brining solution above water if they needed to preserve things or use other preservatives
what
Would salt even taste good to them bc isnt it literally always in their mouths lol
It's like, salty but not ocean level.
they are underwater creatures so they could just Bury things deep in the aquifer and it wouldn't rot
ok
I'm referring to the fish being traded with azafure
Brackish iirc
illmeris is the closest and largest settlement with easy access to water
if they imported fish from anywhere it'd be there
literally every surface dweller has easy access to water
i don't actually know why ilmeris would have fish exports since they compete with fish for food
it'd be like if pork exports were common
???
?
yes
As a place surrounded by fish, they'd be in the best position to export fish.
^
and they're also likely the closest to azafure
so that's where they'd likely get their fish from
yeah but like. ilmer inhabitants and fish eat the same food and they can't really expand their land or quarantine fish
so why would they export fish
they aren't a sustainable thing to farm in the first place
but considering how they'd have to be going in a diagonal direction to reach azafure
they'd need to preserve it
hence why I asked about salt
i just really do not think that ilmeris would be exporting fish...
drying wouldn't work considering they're underground
smoked
I'm not sure if they had fire to smoke the fish considering they're underwater and very far from any wood
they can go above water, put the thing to be exported into a pickling jar with a custom made brine by a land worker or smoke it, and then sell it
smoked salmon 🤤
that needs salt
brine is made with salt
yeah... and they can get salt from any natural deposit or trade
or just boiling brackish water
also it's worth mentioning
it was recent that surface living was even possible in calamity
Less than 850 years, hardly 'recent' at this point.
and how much of that 850 was spent being rebuilt after fovos went crazy?
probably not a lot considering fovos attacked the dragons mostly and didn't target random troglodytes
Well, the only surface civilizations we know about are gone, so...
he attacked chrysadia directly though
chrysadia was dragon owned and decidedly not a troglodyte civilization
why does the ilmeran fish export even matter
Economics.
it's kinda just a topic and i think it's silly to think that ilmeris would export fish
I find the lore interesting and I am trying to not think about the life threatening situation I am in
the lore of fish exports
It would be insane if they didn't.
fish yumy
fish are like... what if you had tens of thousands of flying cattle that ate each other and all plant matter available freely all the time
import fish into my mouth
and in order to farm them you have to build a gigantic rectangular cage up to the surface to contain them
and it has to be tall so they don't jump over it
So the thing is is that that's a thing you can do.
isnt that just what farming is
why would they zone off a large portion of the body of water just to dedicate it to containing creatures that eat the exact same food as them
Why would they even farm them. There'd be tens of thousands.
Why couldn't they just fish. With nets.
Ilmeris was big as fuck the fish would have been gone with export pressure within a few years
Why do we zone off large portions of land to raise creatures when we can also eat plants.
farms can be stacked on top of each other and most farm animals are easily contained and don't eat the same things as us or eat our extreme surplus which there is even more land dedicated to
we can also just freely make more farmland
like literally extend out the land to farm things
water
the body of water has to fill naturally over time with rainwater which takes a ridiculously long time; extending out the perimeter of ilmeris meaningfully would lower the water level consequentially
ah
i guess that's a lil bit more of a modern problem tho
i don't think we've established how food works in the cal setting
@spare pier how technologically advanced are most farms in the heartlands
cmon guys my super realistic dnd calamity world needs this
u hate me
i try to get calamity to be the awesomest fantasy setting ever and this is how u treat me tayylor...
wtf can u share ur sheet
for the world
yeah
google dockey
nah i havent actually made calamity
i havemade desert scourge boss
thats all
the fun part
yes
i wonder if it was a case of the empire having the only large scale farms and most surrounding villages and towns in modern day being subsistence
i love creating bosses
I have no idea
i imagine since yharim's empire has a war economy that a lot of the empire is just farmland belonging to the empire's global south
Auric Tesla town slime you get by throwing Yharim’s boss mask into a slime
He will purge the unworthy
Or, he would, if he were not so small.
But someday!
?? the metal recognizes the slime as one of the true auric dragons
maybe it's the reincarnation of zeratros' soul...
I am 100% positive there is at least one slime that got something that makes it worthy stuck inside of it
They will get anything stuck to them
calamity town slimes would be cute ngl
slime god is super unworthy
huge
Slime God technically isn't a slime if you think about it.
it's a guy who thought of himself as a slime
Perhaps a plan for a kid... if they were wimpy enough.
We should get an update that’s just like 20 new town slimes
Make a whole slime society
Miku.
been reading absolute superman
idk if its just looks, but absolute brainiac reminds me a lot of draedon
Not
Not quite broski
This is clearly Luka
Once again, I bet this is a superficial comparison.
Like Draedon being like Ultron.
Are the weakest gods stronger than the average human by a long shot or is slime god really just supposed to be that weak
I mean, have you seen all of the common npcs
merchant, guide, arms dealer, etc
that is what a "average human" would be
and i can guarantee you they ain't doing much against uh
any of the bosses
no they do okay against king slime
they still die in like two or three hits to it, though
might be able to actually deal some nice damage if you get them to hit the boss while baiting it away tho
So slime god is still miles more powerful than any normal human?
But a human that eats rocks that give you more health manages to kill him?
Now that I think about it
Are life crystals crunchy
Or is it like rock candy
life crystals are not game diagetic to lore
id presume you just absorb the power of the rock and then feel healthier
I still like the idea of the terrarian crunching on rocks like a cat
Life crystals are diagetic, wdym
I mean, those caverns also are full of hostiel fauna and monsters
Not to mention the average person could get lost and starve
Or break all their bones after falling in a pit
The terrarian is kind of just exceptional and does things the averagep erson wouldnt be capable of
I forgot respawning isn't canon
Canon terrarian is just built exceptionally different no matter how you look at it
that depends on the era I think
I feel like in the draconic era travelling through caves was a necessary skill for most people
fair but i imagine mortality rate definitely wouldve been rather high outside of underground towns
much like how irl in olden times hunters sometimes wouldnt come back from their trips
well sure but when you talk about living longer than average you arent considering the average lifespan of people in the 1200s
as an example
also I forgot to expand on something earlier
I get the feeling that the first 50-100 years after Fovos was a situation not dissimilar to the Bronze Age Collapse
also it's worth mentioning
I'm like 90% sure that underground civilizations that weren't lava layer or below likely felt at least some of the effects of it
namely the surface's temperature falling
I feel like the Vernal Pass and Illmeris would have felt the most
since they had much more developed ecosystems that would have to rapidly adapt to a much lower temperature in the upper layers
for the love of
I thought someone cared about my autistic ranting
@brazen coral please vaporize the bot
Probably yeah, just not as much as the ones living directly in the surface
The closer one is to the surface the more major the impact wouldve been
oh thanks cheese
there's a other one
surface wasn't livable until after the fovos attack
there it is
go away
It was, to some extent
Not particularly hospitable or easy to live in but to some extent it was liveable
I still wonder what happened to the oceans
since they'd likely be much shallower
tmk the latter is the exception
Tbh assuming there used to be ice caps before zeratros made the sun hotter they might be
deeper
That could be a possibility
from what I'm understanding of the pre fovos surface
I don't think the surface was inhospitable, just a hard place to survive in for humans due to the heat, and some regions where the sun has a smaller reach could be home to smawn villages and settlements
I figure it would be kind of like the carboniferous/permian
very hot world all around predominantly covered by deserts, rainforests, swamps and savannahs
is it IMPOSSIBLE to live here? no, but
well more specifically
some places would be straight up hellish to live in
others, would be more hospitable, allowing for small settlements and villages
it sounds like the early triassic
dry as all hell one moment
stormy hell the other
but overall underground would be a more globally better choice
Specially for the creation of major civilizations over smaller villages and settlements
i mean
Illmeris, Azafure and the Vernal Pass all are underground so
the water cycle would be sped up dramatically by the hotter sun
there seems to be a pattern that all big civilizations atleast in the heartlands were, or atleast started underground
terraria underground is far more lively than irl undderground so i mean
makes sense lol
I still wonder if the giant trees are from the late draconic era
there are trees that have lived thousands of years
and considering how (from my understanding) the trees would struggle to get sunlight for long peroids of time unless they grew extremely tall
would make sense yeah
i imagine life magic mightve played ap art too
using it as a replacement for sunlihgt, maybe
also this is probably too much to hope for but I hope astral infection creates something more unique when it hits giant trees some day
tmk it just turns the living wood into living monolith (which I think is unique to it?) and nukes all the tree's leaves
honestly i think the monoliths should just do entirely away with the branches
its really inconsistent with the backgrounds and i just like those monoliths far more

they could add astral versions of the living wands
I’d probably beat up yharim in a fistfight
But hed punch you like he did that one table
can you punch away mountains
Do the lunar fragments in calamity still actually have anything to do with there related cosmic namesake or it just entirely unrelated
Minos Prime could be Yharim with prep time.
Only related to the dragons, Moon Lord isn't even from space.
Are they in universe named after the related space thing because they made people think of them when figuring out a name, or is that just cos they’re named that in vanilla and they don’t which to change that
Probably.
Probably which one?
Both.
What
all nebula fragments were made in a real genuine nebula
But like aren’t stars in calamity not at all like irl stars
So like do nebulas and solar flares and stuff even occur in cal’s universe
Stars are, yes.
matter and gravity still exist so genuine stars which operate through regular fusion exist and not every star is 100% made of mana
aside from the fact that the universe is non-heliocentric there's nothing stopping there from being natural processes by which matter can reassemble
THIS MEANS BLACK HOLES EXIST, WHICH IS CLEARLY THE CRITICAL PIECE OF LORE WE NEEDED, BABY!
I'm braziling too much rn
Sealed singularities are literally that tho already i thought
Brazil mention.
How do you know
geocentric. thats the word
it's not a literal black hole 😭
Dw I also get the two confused all the time
i am a space nerd and i talked for around 4 solid hours with madeline about it

That's a donor item.
And also, obviously isn't an actual black hole.
Also yes we talked about it a lot one day when I was writing the document on how Mana worked
And where we reached the consensus of
Mana in calamity is sort of a second fundamental particle that can be spent to create matter or energy depending on what will is put into it; it's existence doesn't necessarily predate or obscure regular matter or physics. so stars like the sun can be hydrogen burning or completely magical
"Mana is a fundamental part of every star but there's other normal star stuff there too"
But like even it wasn’t an actual one it implies that they do exist and its named after one, but since its donor I guess it don’t count
i dont know why actual black holes wouldnt exist. the concept of density exists in calamity
there could always have been singularities
is spacetime made of mana or is it still antimatter or whatever it is irl
Donor items aren't canon, and just the concept of something existing in a narrative doesn't mean it actually does.
I read an entire book that hinges on a prophecy about a dragon being a metaphor and dragons not actually being real.
Event horizon does also mention black holes in its tooltip
spacetime is spacetime
true
The only thing stopping them would be if stars couldn't get massive enough to form them which we don't have settled
But does like the sun in calamity have like very small mass? Cos like why does it orbit the planet
That one does actually reference actual black holes.
mana is a second fundamental particle and not like... the composition of dimensions
It's smaller and made of special light magic.
the largest star we know of is house sized, mentioned in embers
it orbits the planet because calamity's top scientists haven't figured out relativity yet
so yeah definitely not big enough for a black hole
I generally think stars in Calamity are much smaller than irl stars but not by that much, and I don't think getting into the numbers would be ideal
i kinda think it would make no sense if the planet was less massive than the sun and the sun was truly it's satellite. if it's a small sun i'd rather it be dense than less massive
Is the sun wearing sunglasses when you do canon
Sure, why not.
the sun doesnt wear sunglasses. stop staring at the sun
yes
yeah xeroc sees you wearing glasses and wants to join
how is xeroc gonna project darkness over the sun
It’s literally for an achievement broski, what am I supposed to do, not be a completionist
Thats what im SAYINNN
IVE BEEN SAYING THISSS
primordial dark 
Just because we dont ever See things dosent mean they cant exist
Nothing at all disproves the possibility of
- other primordial light bodies
- other planets with life and/or world souls
- other stars that are larger than just Fallen Star Terraria
THAT DAMN MOON BEING ALIVE!
We know theres other planets
Like mars
Moon's evil
Moon was evil before that
I'm worried about Moon Lord, poor guy is trapped on the moon!
Just throw him in the sun smh
And the MOON is EVIL and HAUNTED!
Hey what if the moon is just misunderstood and actually a good guy
That gives the Moon Lord unprecedented aura btw like
No.
I beg of you guys to never give a proper explanation of why the moon is fucked up like that
none of you have ever discussed how the sun is evil for complying with zeratros
It's like that because it's EVIL!
That guy is so fucked up that people put him in the evil fucked up celestial body that just decides to fuck everything every now and then and everyone started saying "yeah that guy owns the moon now"
i think its pretty shortsighted to keep him in the planet's closest satellite instead of punting him out into space
The moon since it orbits the planet opposite the sun I’d guess its the thing which the primordial light almost never reaches so that might’vd caused it
but yknow
I mean that's hard
If only Immortal was there...
do u think everything that primordial light doesn't reach is evil
do u think pluto is evil
Pluto is very evil
That's what the Lion King told us.
I mean not getting any lead to like it being bitter or somethjng
do u think neptune is evil
Take that back they’re my innocent goat
I think Saturn and Jupiter are chill
Yes, after what he did to Mr. Krabs.
Mercury is like Haephestus he's just fucked
the most light reflective gas giants... okay
Venus is evil as fuck
Uranus is probably chill and just there
Ironic.
Mars is like neutral
Also ironic.
And Uranus is chill
Well isn’t it like destroyed
if the terraria solar system has a venus i wonder why it hasn't evolved super hitler hell aliens that fly over and gank terrarians
Haha
I'm talking about irl solar system
since it does have a mars
So THAT'S what Xeroc's been doing.

Also doesn’t the moon have some visual variants or something
Xeroc on Venus.
yes. it changes to mock you personally
Doesn’t one have a ring and another has two smaller moons
I originally proposed that Terraria had 9 fucking moons but then Ozz said "no" and I was like "damn"
Are they like canon in any way
Why does he hate fun?
wtf how massive is terraria
I don't care how canon they are, they're EVIL!
The joke is too easy I can't make it
One even seems to have two smaller moons, so THEY;RE MULTIPLYING
all of the moons are canon. that's the moon of terraria. it's evil
its normal to have submoons
see pluto
who is not evil
Actually I take back what I said Pluto is the tragic villain
But like pluto aint evil, so its babies aren’t, but the moon’s kids must also be pure evil
Who then gets redeemed
Not the moon.
the moon occasionally rips apart it's children to gain rings. it's a viscious cycle
Is pluto canon to Calamity
Probably not
We call that aura farming nowadays.

the calamity solar system is fucked up
I don't even think there's really a solar system it's just Terraria and Mars
thats fucked up
Maybe there's other planets around but they don't have life
Does mars orbit the sun? Or is it just there too
Draedon calls it a cluster of planets I believe.
mars orbits terraria. everything orbits terraria. terraria is the center of the universe
Terraria must be very dense then
chat is this real
nah. it was just spawned in at 0,0,0
Cos of all the content bloat
Syrup is joking
I had some stuff thought about how they worked but it's like
Flimsy at best
i think only the solar system specifically is geocentric because terraria is a weird fucked up magical object but most extrasolar star systems might operate more normally
They probably do
Maybe like all the magic in it causes it to function as if it were denser
And probably don't have magic satellites that want to kill everyone.
theres a chance that terraria itself is also evil and magically made the solar system it desired
This leads into the next theory:
Calamitas doesn't float.
unrelated question: could a human have ascended with a world soul shard if there were any left
Probably.
i'm asking the devs 🐴
Dragons don't have any sort of biological mechanism that makes it unique to them I can say that much
How big was the world soul even
the size of the whole world
Worldly
Bigger than a grapefruit.
i don't think souls have sizes
no
I have
I'll call Anubis.
It's not lighter than a feather
Idk how big mine is but like my shoes’ is like 30cm
not your sole. your soul
Yeah, that's probably right.
?
Souls of Night probably aren't even like, conventional souls.
I guess but the mech boss soul drops would beright?
Cos they;re from the yharmy or whatever
i think they operate by ghost logic and the thing you see is the manifestation or 'meat' of the actual spirit
Sure, but we have no idea how many people are used to make each indiviudal soul, it could be a mini-Polterghast situation.
Wait why do wyverns drop multiple now that i think bout it
i dont think souls themselves are tangible and they have to manifest in some way in the material world willingly or unwillingly in order to have properties like Volume
each segment has its own soul

Its all their children that they carry inside them totally
this is true of all worm bosses. have u seen how sepulcher drops 0 souls of flight
I don't think Sepulcher is alive.
Are the undead alive? Like they aren’t really dead but neither alive
so you could Weigh or Size the manifestation but you can't Weigh or Size a soul arbitrarily unless it's an auric soul and literally always manifesting all the time
they're dead as hell
they're undead
They're basically just puppeted corpses at most.
Even the best necromancer could only bring back protective instincts.
Don’t like catastrophe and cataclysm have some remnants of who they were i thought
those are shells
Just protective instincts.
I thought i saw something about them still caring for scal
it's literally just
"protect sister"
And that's all like, the best necromancer we know of could do.
absolutely nothing else
if you dream nailed them you wouldn't be able to get any dialogue
Calamitas lore is kind of insane and she must have so much trauma
"in her mind her demon lies, ever patient, until the end of time."
imagine how much additional trauma she's had from the dark visions that come from absorbing a fuckton of malicious magic
Probably more trauma than him cos like she ended up killing like two whole civilisations
Average Calamitas backstory moment:
Shadow nearly killed literally everyone in his grief.
And then aliens tried to make him do it again.
Yeah but like she killed like the only people who cared for her and protected her by accident
i headcanon that calamitas is one of the few individuals that can actually see dead things directly without them having to manifest and she's seeing dead things and dead people all the time
That sounds horrible
Say that again.
I couldn’t boar to deal with that
this update is the snort of something pig
also is there a reason why brimstone elemental woke up and went murder rime
Also no indication that Calamitas killed her brothers.
It just does that.
yes but we dunno
no one really knows, she's an elemental and doesn't operate by human thought processes
I thought we know that the fight between cal and brim caused their deaths
Wait but like isn’t silva also an elemental yet from what we’ve seen she seems to think kind of like a human
It's more likely that they died and that's why Calamitas had the resolve to not go insane when she got her power.
silva also wants to think like a human
She's also the least murderous.
But like why didn’t azafure have any preparations in case brimmy woke up
Like are they stupid
Why didn’t they get obsidian skin potions smh
what are you supposed to do? spray water on her?
they probably didn't anticipate her annihilating all her worshippers
Well i guess they’d need brimflame armour but still to be immune to brimstone flames
oops, looks like the rose mother woke up after lying dormant for several thousand years. guess we'll use the super soakers we prepared for this eventuality
But like they didn’t have like a evacuation plan in case of a fire
Do remember the brimstone elemental was like way stronger back then
Like your in hell are you dumb
i dont think it was like normal fire at all
i think the vast majority of people were flash vitrified
ima be fr
How do you evacuate the embodiment of heat deciding that you don't get to live anymore?
Split up or something so that maybe some may get away at least
just drink some ice water bro it'll protect you from the searing 10,000c temperatures
given that the natural state is fire and everything is already fireproof, there's no reason to anticipate Turbo Death Fire
Why didn't they anticipate for the surface of the sun to visit them personally? Are they stupid?

Also like why didn’t they like use even like a demon conch to go to the centre of hell
wait true
Bro, just use Rod of Discord to get to the Abyss, it's got water!
Like they would 100% have some probs for quicker trade routes even
Does your city have an evacuation plan for a nuclear bomb
(Not that brimmy was that level of power necessarily, idk exactly how powerful she was, but the rapidity and extent of her devastation was really large and wide and destructive and fast)
i think because their brains evaporated in 2 microseconds bro
Idk I just think if I was in that situation i could’ve made it out (joke)
You're in your house reading the azafure daily news. You see someone pass your window and halfway through they're hit by a mirage of heat that turns them instantly into molten slag. You flip the page. You are molten slag
Just hit inventory with autopause
Just parry.
I will say though it just feels stupid that the like fire city got burnt down
Like it does sound a little dumb
I know it didn’t burn down but like it got destroyed by fire
the temperature was unreasonable since it was a freshly awoken embodiment of heat
It just got destroyed/melted
Because the brimstone elemental was REALLY powerful back then
i would dare say that brimmy probably didn't start off with flames as that's an inefficient method of heat transfer
and she only used flames when calamitas bluetooth drained her
I will say with brimmy in lore in the past vs current day she really fell off
Well yeah
she needs a glowup but ozz will never let me implement freshly awoken brimstone elemental into calamity mod official
Curse of not going to the gym.
Also so like is she just called brimstone elemental and her element is heat or is it just brimstone
Calamitas' power comes from brimmy for the most part
She took most of her powers (but she DID get stronger than original brimmy because she actually trained with them and honed them)
That's why current brimmy is so much weaker
brimstone isnt an element
Heat.
she is a heat elemental
But like why is she called brimstone elemental
Weeeeeellllll....
no, brimmy is not a sulfur elemental
"The perfect blade of the Underworld, wielding the power of Brimstone directly.
Humans understand this force as Havoc, the inevitable sundering of all order in fire."
Devil devastation tooltip
Brimstone is essentially the representation of havoc, chaos
Brimmy is a sulfur cube confirmed
That's why she's so powerful
also like can I please ask is there a lore reason why earth elemental is called that despite not being one? Or is it just because he was called that before elemental lore was thought up
Like why is he
ask @spare pier
Because the name is old.
The name is old
it's old!
can we just like rename him them to like earth construct or something
mr. earth
Rocky, for friends
can we just like remove him
Well technically it's an impostor Brimstone Elemental.
I would rather you interpret this yourselves and come to a conclusion than spelling out my own
I will say that this is a lot more metaphorical than actually physical
thats extra dumb since like his names the wrong elemental
earth doesnt even look like brimstone 💔
Blame the Azafurians for not giving it fire powers!
I see, I see.
My interpretation relies heavily on the "humans understand" part than anything else
But yeah
So it's less brimstone being a representation of havoc (as the humans understand it), and more like, Havoc is just one of the facets of brimstone, in this case? Like, humans only see it as havoc, but it's actually not that (or at least, not JUST that.)
I think they just call it that because fire is wild and uncontrollable in its natural state.
she just said she's not gonna spell it out 
Right right
Gn Madeline!
Actually now that I think about it all the elementals are so much weaker ingame than like how strong they can be
All but one of them don't even know what a gym is.
The remaining one is blended.
Like sky and earth are just represented by minibosses
Brimmy is an early harmode boss and anahita is like half a boss
And like silva doesn’t even show up, and is currently kinda dead
Being representations of major elements yet being so weak feels odd
Brimstone Elemental got her knees taken out like 16 years ago.
Anahita is still extremely powerful.
Earth Elemental and Air Elemental are divided heavily.
Silva is soup.
If anahita is so strong why does she need her like big fish wife to fight you
We don't even know what that fish is.
It could easily be something created by Anahita, or an extension of herself.
How could she make a fish tho, like wouldn’t that moreso be a life thing
Have you seen anahita herself? She's not just water shaped like a person
Fish made of water.
Also bestiary also supposedly calls leviathan a reptile
...yes and?
But like anahita is fishlike and like it would be weird for it to be an extension of the fish water lady to be a big reptile
Like that be a bit weird to me
This is one, what's the issue.
Because thats literally made of water
Also she directly visibly uses ice in the fight
Reptile made of water.
Brimlings can fly, and they are egg shaped.
Thus, they are birds.
Also like it being a reptile is from the bestiary which like is an unbiased source and says that as a fact
Which suggests its biological
does it matter
Not really its just that like if it is part of her then it does mean shes like a lot stronger currently but like idk
Said Bestiary EXPLICITLY states that it could be 'simply manifested into existence like her master. '
It says that it is unknown if thats the case
But that it COULD be the case.
So could it being the last of its kind which it also says
Yes.
But it COULD have literally just spawned in.
Which is stated in your own source.
It doesn’t even say it could, it moreso just says like we don’t know if this is true
The Leviathan: "A gargantuan marine reptile that lurks the ocean depths along with the Water Elemental, Anahita. It is unknown if she is the last of her kind, or was simply manifested into existence like her master."
In which case we don't know if it's a normal animal.
So it could be created by Anahita.
It explicitially calls it a reptile, kind of suggesting it would be at least decently probably normal animal-adjacent
Cos reptiles are normal animals
But it also states that it might LITERALLY have just MANIFESTED into being there.
And as such is not a normal animal.
Like it could but idk at this point
Much like how Anahita, despite being some kind of fish, is not a normal animal.
If the literally only unbiased most knowledgeable source doesn’t know we will probably not know
Also like anahita isn’t really a fish cos she is the elemental
It's intentionally a secret.
did the concept of Gods exist before Xeroc ascended?
Yes and no
idk bro probably
People worshipped things, but this was a mostly separate concept
The idea of worship did exist, but gods, as they currently are in calamity, no.
sauron are u a good
Everyone should strive to be a good (person).

Hi! I want to know EVERYTHING about the lor of this fashion, who understands it?
why are u horse if ur cat
disguise
im really happy to see noxus is still in the lore i havent checked the lore since like 2023 and i thought since the old developer did not like WotG they would remove any association of it within the main mod
that being said, does the developer team plan to add all of these things from the lore document at some point in time? because it seems literally impossible to do so theres just so much
Noxus isnt a wotg thing
well, it previously was
Nono
i know it didnt originate from WotG
Ah nvm
Yeah fabsol didnt touch the lore at all so he has had basically no influence on it
i see
It's pretty doable specially with collaboration of programming & art teams to implement things in immersive ways
he didnt even know what it was until like, a couple months before he got kicked out
I'd say probably
such a lackluster passion
I doubt whoever called themselves a god for the first time made the term up
Out of thin air
And i doubt people who worshipped beings like elementals, signus or AD wouldnt have reffered to them as gods or deities in some occasions. I mean dude its called Astrum Deus
is there some sort of roadmap that is publicly available of things that the dev team wants to add in order?
Nah
alright
Plans are mostly kept under wraps until they're closer to completion
Theres a pig update coming soon though
pig?
okay ty
i assumed that was just an april fools
No it's real they're adding pigs
i figure there won't be any big content updates for the 10th anniversary given the brainstorm update came out just a bit ago
When is that again actually?
that'd be prettycool
pigs will come out before probably i read its a smaller update
Is the planty mush really the parts of silva or something or is it just the manifestation of her elemental-ness
So she got blended.
have you died
They shared a name with vanilla tree fruits
dragonfruit, blood orange, and elderberry
but be honest. Sanguine Tangerine is fucking peak

22 queen bee
tetotastic
Why did Yharim fall out with Draedon over bees
He likes bees and Draedon made them evil bees
It's worth noting that Yharim grew up in the jungle
I'm sure he has a soft spot for nature
uuh was he?
I think it's more beacuse he REALLY hates slavery
and plague is essentialy enslaving animals
I don't think he had an issue with slavery as a concept moreso than who was being enslaved
Yharim did a lot of nasty things to achieve his goals. But he only ever intentionally harmed those he deemed guilty.
Not just gods, but their worshippers.
The creatures of the jungle were an innocent party, and it devastated Yharim to see their will assimilated.
He has a crush on queen bees
A weird obsession with bees
no it was definitely because of the slavery
he makes it pretty blatant
He's against slavery.
Emotional manipulation is fine though.
i doubt it would make much of a difference in his eyes if it was like. turtles or something, he'd still be pissed off
it just happened to be an insect he thinks is neat
Just look at his whispers about the queen bee 🥀 bro def has a crush
Never argued it just being bees
brother he just thinks they're cool
I said "creatures of the jungle"

NUH UHH i love my headcanon :3
So yeah turtles would fall under that too
i don't have a crush on snakes just because they're my favorite animal i just think they're cute
💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
I 100% believe Yharim would enslave a god worshipper if he thought them to be useful.
He already held prisoners
All of them are dead 🥀
what i mean is that he absolutely does have an issue with slavery as a concept
like he straight up says so
Hmm
Yharim likes the jungle!??!?! TRUELY EVIL!!!
Also
Is the jungle. One of silva's domains?
he describes the act of enslaving them as "vile" and "despicable", and states he would never "shackle a creature to fight in [his] name"
It has nature, so, like, duh?
Maybe it's a mix of both? Just based off the fact he used the word "creature".
Being anti-slavery is meant to stem from him likely being a former slave.
Why would they make a slave god king
and, though this is dipping into dev statement theory, considering some devs have implied he used to be a slave himself, i find it very hard to believe that he doesn't have an issue with enslaving something as long as it "deserves" it
Because he was always meant to be a puppet.
i guess they thought they could control him
I see
I didn't know Yharim was a slave
I thought he was just the GOAT of his civilization
The issue being that they never broke his spirit, so he defies them.
i suppose it could've been?
Well either way bro loves dragons so it doesn't matter what he used to be. Im still gonna try to fold him when his boss fight gets released
And like, even if it's not defined as slavery, we know he still doesn't have an issue with using people to some extent to aid his cause.
probably cause i don't think it's ever been stated or hinted at in-game
just mentioned in here
yeah cause he's a hypocrite
Maybe we'll get more of his lore when he actually gets released
Also. Would there be more to come after yharim based on the boss rush dialogue?
he doesn't want to literally force someone to do what he wants them to, but he is willing to manipulate people to get his way and kill them if they refuse
maybe
Noxus and Xeroc, in terms of bosses.
Bend him into a foldable phone
Yeah i think xeroc would test our strength and then make us help him fight noxus
Maybe, or it could be the Xeroc fight.
it's the difference between outright stating "do what i tell you to or you die" and hiring someone, asking them to do things, and when they refuse you let them go only to send someone to kill them because otherwise they could be a risk to you
Average mafia
What a detestable son of a fishstick
What a surprise innit.
Like Calamitas wasn't a slave!
He just manipulated her and had her believe he'd kill her if she left! Totally different!
She deserves good things man
I love Calamitas so much bro she's like a little sister
Goated character
She took my room just because it has a chair and a table 😭
Didn't Draedon say he could shut down the Nanoplague? Did he fail afterward?
Yes, that's what NPC housing means
He just doesn't want to lol
He might not actually be able to.
He has a giant gaping hole in his lab
He also doesn't want to.
he believes the gods as a whole were so deplorable that doing some shit that is only arguably not as evil is justified if it means wiping them all out
Surely the sentient toaster isn't doing it out of spite
Nope, just thinks they're neat.
🥀
remember kids indoctrination is not a crime!
I wonder if draedon would help us get to yharim since he wanna watch us fight
he cant
leading theory is that it's not a question of where it is, but rather when
I know but what if the terrarian found some shit bit can't figure out how. Maybe we can get help to draedon
then yea he would try to help
I wonder how the terrarian would even find the aerie in the frsst place 😭
Why would we ever wanna help Draedon
i believe it was said a while ago that once you get to the aerie yourself you'll be able to tell him where it is
but no idea if that still holds
Cool mechs >:D
He’s probably got a severe hunchback, lol.
Rephrase
He finds you fascinating just because of how powerful you are but bro is NOT your friend
Pretty sure bro has a tracker implanted on our ass. After one bullet accedentally hit in the bossfight
You're kinda automatically helping Draedon, willing or not, by killing yharim
Happy birthday cheese
I know. I know... BUTTT!!!! He supplies me cool mechs >:D i don't care if he's my friend or not. I want my gundam
He can cooperate if he has a reason to, he does give you his forge
he fucks with me cuz im built different
oh true
today is moon day
he isnt friendly but he also isnt antagonistic
That didn't came out the way you expected it. please rephrase it.
hes an acquaintance basically
He wont help u out of the nonexistent kindness of his heart butt he also wont fuck you over if he has no reason to
Coworker
hehe. butt.
grow up vro
Butt
not my fault chee cant spell
Is Signus the man behind the slaughter?
"Draedon give me robots"
'No Terrarian"
"Ill give you providence's liver"
"Yes Terrarian"
he is purple
Exactly how it would go
Btw why won't the powerfull NPCs help me fight bosses that would ultimately benifit terraria 😭
I would understand calamitas since she doesn't want anything to do with yharim anymore
Permafrost is obviously trying to enjoy his early retirement.
What are Shakidou's powers?
They kinda confuse me.
One time I heard it's basically space, the other I heard it's more mental.
Shakidou is the God of Emptiness.
I mean yeah I know.
empties your mind
So Shakidou’s secretly a Stand user, huh?
the stand user could be anyone
Idk if this is confirmed
Mental emptiness is also completely possible
I said that's what I imagined it acting like.
Ah ok
Nothing confirmed
All we know is its emptiness based
Counterpart in what way?
gotcha thanks
#lore-discussion message this also relevant i think
primordial da
Dragon of Hardened Crimsand Block
likely, since shakidou died around mid crusade and dog seems to have been a later addition to the crusade
wonder if they're part of the souls of night
maybe, we lack a lot of info so its prob the best guess we got rn
still wonder what'll happen with providence's essence btw
divine geodes and as of whats in game, uelibloom are from it
slimegod dies in the hallowed idk if the sludge is influential enough for it to stand out to the chaos of the hallowed
how do the slime god and providence fly?
Feels unlikely since evil biomes are explicitly well, evil, and iirc shakidou wasnt really evil
Tbf,
providence is way stronger as it is right now
providence has fire wings soprob either those act as literal wings or more like a jet
But also
slime god is getting reworked and uelibloom is getting shot and killed so
I think you can make sense of it
Somewhat, as it is rn
But realistically that part of it is probably not intended to be canon
Providence has wings yeah i feel tahts pretty, self explanatory
Slime God probably just kinda floats with magic or something. maybe his redesign will give it something more but as it is yeah dudes kinda just a flotaing orb
I still think slime god's redesign should have colored bits of slime dropping from him
How big are the bosses like yknow Providence or devourer of gods
i think slime god can fly via god powers or smth
maybe slime god floats by using the weird slime control given by the domain, at least i think slime god gets slime telekinesis from it
me using my slime telekinesis on myself to fling myself really high all over the place constantly so it looks like im flying but im actually just flinging myself like using a gravity gun in gmod
or maybe its that slime core thingy that floats in the air? like something like that
that is the slime god
that is the slime god, the big slimes are paladins it controls with slime god powers
stupid bouncy ball
I still wonder how yharim would react to goozma
Goozma has a lore item that is literally that. That's what it is. It's based on current lore
like okay obviously if it were official it'd be written differently but there's already an example
kill
i wonder how does goozma's gel taste like
Oil
I think he'd be fine with it really. I think him reacting like the lore item depicts him would be about accurate, just being really curious about the fact it could happen
polonium
everything
also would likely be turbo radioactive
since goozma is basically a star made of slime
not sure if its physically That dense byeah
How come Providence gets so strong at night?
Not lore diagetic, will be replaced in the future

hates moon
She doesn't.
That's not even a game mechanic she just doesn't.
Like, it was removed.
Right up there with eating auric soul fragments
Goozma would probably feel like pop rocks to eat
That was already replaced
She does not
Not even in game as wwg said
they're literal millions of slimes all forced into one being that is only as big as like
25 of the larger slimes
also the bestiary says it is at the point of criticality
and considering it ain't a nuclear reactor
that means star
How does horrible hog bacon taste like
horrible probably
it would be quite the disgusting meat
At least somewhat like hog as well
How does calamitas fly? Both versions
idk
Probably using hot air from her fire magic to keep herself in the air
she's a rocketship
Extremely fast breaking and placing of echo blocks
ice rod from permafrost paint sprayered calamity red
But wizard sells that
been wondering
could a bola made with sea prisms instead of the normal rocks be effective?
scal has a magic platform she stands on, clearly visible in the sprite
scal is actually wearing a pair of rocket boots bought from the goblin and she refuels them using a magic spell permafrost taught her
