What’s the purpose of moonlord and the pillars in calamity mod’s lore?

#

Purpose / lore

raw nest
#

And he was known as “fovos” before. After being imprisoned on the moon, then he became moon lord

# analog tundra What’s the purpose of moonlord and the pillars in calamity mod’s lore?

Moon Lord (Fovos) is a being form the Distortion that invaded Terraria and fought the dragons.
It ended up killing about half of the dragons prior to being immensely weakened and imprisoned in the moon.

The Pillars are each made up of a highly twisted fragment of an Auric Soul; those being:
Life (Raelvanna¹) > Stardust
Storm (Vetrasyl¹) > Vortex
Mind (Unknown) > Nebula
Primordial Light (Zeratros, Dragon King) > Solar

Mind is the only one that was killed by Fovos directly before or after soul theft. (This is because it was pretty much a radio for all the dragons)

Raelvanna¹ was eventually absorbed by Silva, and Nature Elemental, who ascended into becoming goddess of Life.

Vetrasyl¹ was eventually absorbed by Ontonilou, who ascended into becoming goddess of Electricity.

Zeratros was eventually absorbed by Xeroc, who ascended into becoming god of the Primordial Light and is the strongest known character in the existence, post-Ascension.

The Pillars each did they own thing to help conquer the Dragons; as we can see when we fight them in-game.

Sigh

#

The Moon Lord is a creature from outside Terraria who showed up out of nowhere and dropkicked the dragons

#

The Pillars are its army

hollow pivot
#

Also the Moon Lord you fight in-game is far far weaker than the one the dragons fought.

eager bluff
#

moon lord is the man behind the slaughter

#

Réquiem and Prelude should explain everything you need to know as a basis

#

Very much appreciated.

#

You guys did a way better job at deepening the lore than whatever… uh, the original developers of the game did

#

Not hating on them though

Holy shit legend of Maxx updated last October and I never noticed

#

It's been like 5 years since there was anything

#

And even longer since there was anything besides a Halloween special

#

I'm pretty sure the last time they did anything was before moon lord existed

#

They also invented the hammush

Draedon would probably be good at figure skating I think
All about precision and careful execution

#

Thanatos competes in bobsledding as the bobsled itself

noble falcon

He wouldn’t even need skates because his feet are already metal

i don't think giant gecko pads are very good for gliding

Just stance up on the tips

shut kelp

but fair

noble falcon
#

I’m just saying if anyone would be able to be good at it I think it’d be him

shut kelp
#

noble falcon
#

He would probably be up for a unique challenge like winning the figure skating event

#

Just tell him there’s information to be had and he’ll already be on his way there

cloud ibex
#

he'd just make himself a body specifically fine-tuned for figure skating

light linden
#

I still wonder what ultron would think of draedon

#

likely would try to steal his exo prisms

#

draedon would likely want the metal that his shell is made from

#

either mysterium or vibranium

#

mysterium would be a titanic boon for his exo mechs since it ignores pretty much all magic

#

also it's an extremely good electric conductor

shut kelp
#

imagine a new exo mechs boss that is immune to magic and stuff

#

so solo mage players have a horrible time

cloud ibex
#

imagine new horseshoes that are made of uranium

#

so the horses get radiation poisoning and die

shut kelp
#

epic

#

imagine a unlucky horseshoe that gives you -2.0 luck

light linden
#

it's nearly as strong as marvel adamantium

#

marvel adamantium is indestructible for context

#

requiring immense magnetic fields to even bend

#

and is better at shielding from radiation than lead while also not becoming hot when conducting electricity

shut kelp
#

lets keep the material out of the conversation because this is going really south, an exo mech with magic immunity is the main idea

wanton pendant
#

Ultron probably wouldn't like Draedon due to how he's not a supremacist.

agile matrix
light linden
#

he tends to try to not dislike purely mechanical beings

wanton pendant
#

I don't see Draedon doing genocide on all organic life.

shut kelp
light linden
agile matrix
#

a melee mech, a ranger mech, a mage mech, a summoner mech, and a thrower mech

shut kelp
#

yes i understood it right

#

would be cool, but we have more like boss types

light linden
shut kelp
#

worm, flying/duo, flying above head

#

i guess

light linden
#

morals or not, trying to commit global genocide is ghoulish

shut kelp
#

ultron is dradeon with rtx on (in looks)

#

and bulkier

agile matrix
#

draedon would loathe ultron yeah

#

ultron im pretty sure is more providence than he is draedon

#

sure both employ robotics but both have different means for their different ends

#

you cant really study ash

random mulch
#

draedon is not nearly murderous enough to be like ultron

agile matrix
#

i dont actually think he is murderous

random mulch
#

he is murderous if it advances science

agile matrix
#

like sure he does murder but just because a car can make waffles doesnt make it a wafflemaker

random mulch
#

he is also against murder if it advances science

agile matrix
#

yeauh

#

the plague isnt just "haha evil virus" no its a scientific opportunity that draedon will kill once he gains enough info

random mulch
#

his stance is "whatever it takes (to advance science)"

agile matrix
#

i dont know how to phrase his means and his ends but his endgame is "total encyclopedic knowledge of everything"

#

and any action he does is entirely for the purpose of moving towards that

#

Oh, my bad. Wrong channel

all good

light linden
agile matrix
#

that too

light linden
#

imo he should've killed the moment it broke out

#

and then kept working on it

agile matrix
#

honestly i feel he woulda deployed it in a normalized testing environment

light linden
#

I still don't get why he was making it there

#

the place where it could reach the farthest out of any biome

#

he should've made it in the ice lab

agile matrix
#

i believe he woulda deployed it anyways

#

but like. in a better manner

#

than "BOOM baby!!! glass breaking!!!"

light linden
#

where it would have had a very limited amount of ways to exit the biome

#

in case of an emergency

agile matrix
#

ice has jackall why would he put it there

light linden
#

to develop it

#

not put it there

agile matrix
#

transport of a nanovirus is a precise thing, especially during War Time

light linden
#

he was developing it in the place where it would've been the most catastrophic if an accident occured

agile matrix
#

keeping it in one centralized location near where he's gonna expeirment on it is a better idea than trying to transport one very dangerous vial

agile matrix
light linden
#

there's a reason why scientists working with dangerous diseases are usually both underground and in extremely cold areas

agile matrix
#

those are plagues (organic) not plagues (bionic)

light linden
#

so if a break out does happen, it is less likely to spread far

light linden
#

3 things it could infect

light linden
#

compared to basically the entire jungle being able to be infected

agile matrix
#

also i think he needed access to queen bee larva

#

which are infamously delicate and probably not good to transport overseas

noble falcon
wanton pendant
#

Consider that Draedon would be under the impression that a breach would be literally impossible due to him knowing exactly how it works and being intelligent enough to cover for any circumstance.
Of course, he did not consider his own boss busting it out.
Or, more reasonably, it was the best source of test subjects.

how old is player in calamity ?

sacred pilot

Up to interpretation.

#

The only thing we know that "it wasn't too long" between defeating CalClone and SCal.

agile matrix
#

the only definite timescale we have is, from what i remember

when we defeat Yharon, Yharim will be dead before approximately 10 years pass

#

Yharon acknowledges that by the time that he returns, Yharim will have passed

#

and Yharon takes 10 years to revive

#

actually. thats probably a pretty good question. why doesnt Yharon bring Yharim back?

#

i thought the only reason he didnt revive anything other than auric dragon is because he's specist

fathom locust
#

we'd just kill him again 🔥 🔥

agile matrix

well yeah but he'd be able to bring Yharim Prime back

It's not a racism thing his power literally only works on them.

#

sounds STUPID

#

and like an EXCUSE

turbid wyvern
#

@wanton pendant i know one of them is xeroc but what is the other

wanton pendant
#

Silva is the functionally unkillable god.

#

Due to her being an Elemental, so long as nature exists on the planet, she cannot die.

turbid wyvern
#

interesting

wanton pendant
#

Of course, killing nature would require Yharim to kill everyone, including himself.

split mortar
#

And also probably the other elementals since those are also living things probably

west plume
#

the shard prevents most information loss by preventing the soul from changing at all or escaping and yharon leverages that for other auric dragons, although his power isn't limited to dragons specifically at all, which is where a lot of the racism comes in since he doesn't recognize other ascended as being people

#

yharon can't really do much more for yharim without just allowing him to reincarnate, in which case the resulting being will be an effectively new person; he's also too selfish to give up his soul and yharim has already killed or driven away anyone who could extend his life further

trim edge
#

how old could yharim live to be

west plume
#

not very much older

#

the absence of silva and sacrifices means no one could really stop him from dying of old age after yharon becomes unable to delay senescence

wanton pendant
stark flame
#

Is it true that there was an Auric Tesla Armor legion in the Old Lore, or is this just a rumor?

west plume
# west plume yharon can't really do much more for yharim without just allowing him to reincar...

things i believe yharon can do with his power that we can't really show ingame:

  • mending limbs by reincarnating them into new ones; the old properties of the limb disappear and are replaced by a new one, so he can arbitrarily get rid of literally any disease or affliction localized to an area as long as the limb is still attached (he is not a doctor)
    ex. if you have a broken arm, yharon can touch the arm and rebirth it into a 'new' arm without any of the afflictions of the old one, but it will also lose any non-magical properties it had because it's as if yharon had effectively sewed a different person's arm to you

  • ensuring that specific properties in a creature do not decay or continue to be in a specific renewable state; he can accelerate the rebirth process of your cells to accelerate how fast you heal (although he does not have control over biological minutia and cannot stop your cells from becoming senescent), he can skip through life stages to do something like outright remove monocarpy
    this is likely the process in which he was able to keep yharim from physically aging for the most part, although there's obviously a biological limit for how old a human can become and yharim has hit that, and he obviously cannot make yharim a new brain or precisely rebirth organs to prevent them from failing naturally

  • rebirth flesh arbitrarily
    if yharon grabs ahold of you for a significant period of time, then he can force you to go through a cycle of reincarnation and become a new person or creature. this also applies to dead flesh. you will not be the same person afterwards

wanton pendant
stark flame
split mortar
west plume
#

i don't think he has that much control over it but yeah

split mortar
#

🔥

stark flame
#

Maybe Yharon could turn himself into a fried chicken

west plume
#

he could always do that

split mortar
#

Yharon already burns himself mid fight that already happens

wanton pendant
#

First he can trans your gender, now he can trans your species. What next?

split mortar
#

Transitions you into fungus

wanton pendant
west plume
#

if you let yharon grab onto you long enough to turn you into a mushroom you were probably already fucked

#

to be honest

wanton pendant
#

So clearly Yharim doesn't need to spend the budget on plastic surgery, Yharon can simply grow him a new face.

#

Better question, does that hurt?

west plume
#

would you want a random new face?

west plume
wanton pendant
#

Neat.

"That Shakidou got me good, Yharon, took my arm clean off!"

# west plume would you want a random new face?

this is like 90% of the question. if you had a lava burned face and you were the ruler of a military empire where appearances were important would you take the chance to look as cute as a kitten

What is the downside?

#

Fair enougj

west plume

you get a New face and not a Regenerated face

wanton pendant
#

I meant the kitten part.

west plume
#

ah. fair

#

the new face could also get bad rng though and you could look like pre-ascension xeroc's dead ringer

#

which i imagine isn't ideal for yharim

#

low odds tho

#

Let's Go Gambling!

wanton pendant
#

Ok, like, what are the chances ANYONE would recognize that? Other than like, Yharon.

west plume
#

well, yharon specifically would recognize it and i imagine it would make the actual xeroc take him less seriously

#

not huge downsides

#

you get a new face at least :p

wanton pendant
light linden
#

so I've been thinking of something

#

how heavy is providence?

wanton pendant
#

I dunno man.. like, a lot probably.

plain crane
#

her health suggests very high rock and crystal density

#

if we highball, we're looking at 4 to 5 metric tons per cubic meter of providence

#

so she's about the weight of a fully loaded semi truck

west plume
#

that's a very mean thing to say

light linden
#

hmm

#

random thought, why does the corruption, crimson, and/or hallow make monsters?

#

I could see the former 2 creating them to act as an 'immune system' of sorts

#

but why the hallow?

wanton pendant
#

Because the Hallow is the same thing as the Corruption and Crimson.

#

They're all the gore of slain gods.

light linden
#

well the former 2 are dramatically more hostile than the hallow

#

the hallow doesn't seem to have a central "authority" that would want to be protected

leaden bridge
#

I think they just like Form

wanton pendant
#

I don't think any of the biomes do.

#

Hive Mind and Perforators just seem to be particularly strong conglomerations of gore, not something that can arbitrate the entire thing.

light linden
#

I mean

#

I think that's a disconnect between lore and in-game for now

#

what the hell kinda bot

?

#

Yes the essence was contained but the Hallow itself didn't exist yet I don't think

wanton pendant
#

It probably did.

#

But was contained.

abstract hedge
#

How would a biome be contained inside the wall?

wanton pendant
#

Magic.

abstract hedge
#

I thought it was just that the essence was and then was released and permeated the land, forming the Hallow.

wanton pendant
#

Since the stuff the biome is made of was what was in the wall.

#

That's why killing it spreads the biomes.

#

The essence came from somewhere, and that somewhere was murder.
And the wall didn't always exist.

abstract hedge
wanton pendant
#

It was made due to the essences making biomes and causing issues.

#

The biomes that are there on game start were left on purpose as propaganda.

abstract hedge
#

I should go reread the lore doc

wanton pendant
#

If they never got the chance to form biomes, Yharim wouldn't have known it was something to deal with.

abstract hedge
#

What about the evil biomes

raven brook
#

I think this is a pretty arbitrary point of contigency not working actually arguing over

#

There's nothing saying if the biomes were formed before or not because like. does it matter

#

Yharim could've seen what the evil biomes did and started containing the essence of the hallow beforehand, or maybe they did form

abstract hedge
# abstract hedge What about the evil biomes

A ton of evil dead gods formed those, so it should probably be easy for Yharim to assume that a ton of other dead gods would form the Hallow, especially since he considers all gods evil.

regardless what matters is that he contained them

why didnt yharim download the stars above mod

# craggy sparrow fym its just evil

i guess for a better explanation, celestial objects in calamity have Will, and Worlds have their own Souls which can project will unconsciously. mars, the moon and the planet you play on all have world souls and they unconsciously influence the area and things around them

#

the moon is Evil and it's influence manifests as fucking with the inhabitants of the planet it's a satellite around

craggy sparrow

i thought there was only one world soul

it isn't really a special aspect of the planet; celestial bodies just have souls. terraria's fucking shattered which is why it's being targeted for consumption

if you can shatter a planet's soul then you don't really need to ascend, do you?

Even the fucking xeroc has only a fragment of the world soul

if its just a multiplier

just eat it slowly

wanton pendant

#

the only thing having a world soul shard gives you is infinite stamina in a particular magical domain. if the shard you bind to isn't something you need it's p pointless and you also get transfigured as apart of ascension

wanton pendant
pulsar ocean

the one piece…

craggy sparrow

i never knew it was tied to a domain??

west plume
wanton pendant
west plume
#

er. world soul shards have domains. you can utilize the domain when you ascend

craggy sparrow
west plume
#

nuh uh

wanton pendant
#

It grants you power over a thing, which is basically zero mana cost for it.

craggy sparrow
#

wait is the domain another dimension? or does it project outward

wanton pendant
#

No.

pulsar ocean
#

are world souls like a physical thing
If draedon ever felt like bringing a big ass drill into the moon would he find it

wanton pendant
#

It's magic power. Over a thing.

#

Like, Xeroc can use Primordial Light for free.

west plume
west plume
#

world souls are a massive incorporeal presence tied to the land that you can sometimes take advantage of if you can stitch them to your soul

#

terraria's world soul shattering was a notable event because it meant that magically inclined individuals could staple their soul to a shard and actually control it. the issue is it's easy to consume now. for everyone

fierce pagoda

how did it even shatter in the first place

west plume
#

idk. i wasn't there

fierce pagoda
#

earth stumbled on a rock and fell

wanton pendant

I blame Yharon.

craggy sparrow

some guy shimmered himself to the earth's core

wanton pendant

Just because he's a jerk.

craggy sparrow

and it exploded

west plume

yharon wasn't responsible for it shattering

#

i think he's a lil too young for that

wanton pendant

I blame him anyway.

west plume

that's fair

craggy sparrow

can we blame the chicken more

than the owner

wanton pendant

Yharon has no owner.

all the auric dragons are frauds. don't worry

so the dragon of faith could make everyone believe in him without breaking a sweat or how does that power work

it's a spoiler for how dogma functions and idk if i want to describe that accurately

was the moon lord at that time really that strong

yeah

craggy sparrow

cause i keep imagining him as just cuthulu

wanton pendant

Stronger than literally anything else.

Cthulhu is also meant to be really strong in his stories.

you only fight half of him in modern day which is why he's not as strong as he used 2 be

could the dragon of flames spew fire infinitely everywhere

They ate Bobelinne!

i would believe providence would drag in some fodder to distract flame long enough to drive a spear into his skull

it was fucking providence and her squad!?

i did not say that

Providence didn't do any of that!

craggy sparrow

i do think its kinda funny how humans in calamity can reach that far in strength

west plume

they were Preparing for the moment when they could take down dragons

the issue is it wouldn't have been very effective previously

Azafure was both goth, emo and filled with gyms.
Strange imagery.

no humans were involved in the sealing of moonlord tho

the auric dragons probably would have coexisted with humans if zeratros wasn't doing the sun thing

and then fovos would have been much less of a threat with human warriors to assist

fierce pagoda

oops...

west plume

i don't think they thought that far ahead tho

fierce pagoda

nice one Zeratros

wanton pendant

Yeah, Yharon could simply TOSS humans into Fovos!

fierce pagoda

Zeratros deserved to get his soul taken by Xeroc

Just like the hit game Pikmin.

craggy sparrow

for that idea

fierce pagoda

Xeroc is using his powers for far better reasons anyways

pulsar ocean

that we know of

in my heart I know he's been fending off the distortion

craggy sparrow

i wonder if were held as a savior after the ending of the mod

fierce pagoda

that's what Xeroc has been doing all this time

wanton pendant

50 years to fix the sun, 800 years of aura farming.

xeroc has been a lore hole and old lore holdover that will be fixed later for 800 years

I wonder if xeroc idolises zeratros still

yo this guy kept summoning beings of mass destruction

their fuckass wooden platform

I wonder if Xeroc has been inside the distortion

west plume
wanton pendant
fierce pagoda

could he even enter, and would the distortion do weird things to his light

west plume
#

zeratros was kind of really ineffective as a protector

fierce pagoda
#

bro was casually cooking 90% of all lifeforms

#

do you think forest fires were common

pulsar ocean
#

zeratros is like a less effective asgore

west plume
#

i dont think there were a lot of forests for a while

#

asgore is a worse person than zeratros by far i think. zeratros didn't know he was doing anything wrong and not prepared enough which is his only redeeming quality in retrospect

wanton pendant
#

Asgore killed people due to peer pressure.

fierce pagoda
#

Asgore was out here murdering children

west plume
#

he didn't even Have to murder children

#

he could have just consumed one human soul and then marched out of the barrier and killed some adult soldiers

craggy sparrow

but guys he was guilty his theme song said so

craggy sparrow

#

Could Asgore win against the US military debate locked after 17,982 messages of debate.

so they keep saying asgore would've lost

well, no

they're not

he didn't want to

was he scared to find out?

pulsar ocean

the other children didn’t seem too strong

craggy sparrow
#

you're only special cause you're the player

#

frisk is a husk, man

fierce pagoda
#

you have infinite determination

west plume
#

asgore's entire character arc is that he didn't want to take responsibility for anything which is why he did or sanctioned so many horrible things

#

he's pathetic and a sort of objectively bad person

wanton pendant
#

Monsters are meant to be really weak compared to humans.
But a monster with a human soul is implied to be able to take on multiple humans and win.

craggy sparrow
fierce pagoda
#

determination is like the power system in UD, like ki in dragonball or haki in one piece

craggy sparrow
#

he lost because they had magical bullshit

fierce pagoda
west plume
#

the plan for getting out was also a blitzkrieg after breaking the barrier where monsters would have consumed as many human souls as possible to become god-like and then slain all of the humans

#

and he didn't consider that humans would just have a fundamentally different society a few hundred years after the war

pulsar ocean

how does 6 souls make a big flower and 7 souls turn you into god of hyperdeath

pacific ending its actually over

and that they had enough dt to make you a god

wanton pendant
craggy sparrow

it was literally just up to circumstance

#

and still asgore could've just used one

#

because they were that gifted

fierce pagoda
#

cause it's bad to murder so many people

craggy sparrow
#

his ass could've used deplomacy

wanton pendant
#

He mainly did it because he got really angry and promised he would but couldn't bring himself to retract it, last I checked.

west plume
#

they would have become what are effectively eldritch gods and killed every human

craggy sparrow
#

the monsters in the game most of them dont really mind humans now

wanton pendant
#

Like, humans had just killed his kid in cold blood.

west plume
craggy sparrow
#

the whole war promise was kinda gone in their heads

wanton pendant
#

And that was right after his other kid killed themselves.

west plume
#

i think gerson is the only person alive who's even seen the war

craggy sparrow
west plume
#

it's been a long time

craggy sparrow
#

tbh asriel was kinda a fraud

#

his ass died to normal villagers

wanton pendant
#

He didn't want to murder people, he was a child!

pulsar ocean
#

Like I think if asgore just went out after murdering one child and then slimed out a village I think he’d be able to take on the whole humanity and free monsterkind right there

west plume
#

asgore was also a terrible inattentive parent to chara which was a huge plot point. chara wasn't really acknowledged and then committed suicide to escape the situation they were in

craggy sparrow
#

since they were wearing the horn thing for a while

wanton pendant

Chara and Asriel were idiots. How do you read cups of butter and think buttercups are the same thing?

Also letting children bake unsupervised when they could apparently barely read.

even moreso in deltarune

do we just forgive asgore for killing 6 kids at the end of the pacifist route

west plume
#

no

wanton pendant
#

Ok, counterpoint, those kids walked up a cursed mountain, it's on them.

west plume
#

regardless, i don't think asriel knows what Butter is because he's either never had it because farm animals are rare and hard to cultivate underground or because there just aren't living cows underground

We live alongside monkeys.

craggy sparrow

true

west plume
#

cattle also eat regular food to produce milk and not monster food

pulsar ocean
#

it’s probably not the same thing as being toriel and see a cow next to you

monster food doesn't have nutrition i don't think

it just magically restores your stamina and heals your wounds

It's magic.

It has no physical mass.

Skeleton shaped monsters probably.
