What’s the purpose of moonlord and the pillars in calamity mod’s lore?
Purpose / lore
Moon lord acted as one of the main catalysts for the “calamity” of the calamity mod by showing that auric dragons could be separated from their souls
And he was known as “fovos” before. After being imprisoned on the moon, then he became moon lord
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.
¹Placeholder/Unfinalized name
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
Also the Moon Lord you fight in-game is far far weaker than the one the dragons fought.
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
Terraria's lore is mostly up to interpretation iIrc. So there's almost no concrete lore.
True, thanks for telling me, I was really curious about how the moonlord and the pillars got interpreted here.
is requiem a jojo reference
no but cynosure is a league reference
league
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
Yeah ofc he is. He's insanely weak
Like i have more trouble with king slime for god sake
What is "The Crystal City" from Ibipaua?
It is something called The Crystal City.
It is presumed to be a city with crystals.
if i had to imagine it'd be a large city somewhat reminiscent of the emerald city from the wizard of oz except probably not as green
.w. Does it have lore significance, or do we know that someone comes from there?
No.
Just exists
Twas mentioned by a dev a while ago
do you guys think hivemind and perferators would get an overhaul since rn they're just swapped versions of eachother??
when the dragonfolly swap comes yeah
when do you think that's coming?
281 years
eventually
Also not quite a lore question.
when the devs decide to do it
Basically every boss is guaranteed to be overhauled at some point
Except Brain of Cthulhu. The one finished boss.
True
Which Olympic events would the calamity bosses excel at
probably yharim at absolutely anything
not a boss yet
Yes
Therefore he cannot compete in the Olympics
hes like 9ft one of his steps can finish a 100 meter dash
Ravager solos the hurdles
Bro jumps like nobody has jumped before
if no powers are allowed then calamitas is basicly a normal person
I never said no powers
Are you implying Yharim never taught her weight lifting techniques?
Even then I’m sure Calamitas would do pretty good at something
She's probably a mildly malnourished, heavily traumatized 28 year old, which in sport terms is like, 500.
would a normal dude be able to curl 250kgs with perfect form if he knew all the techs and will do all of them absolutely perfect
If Yharim was their gym coach, probably.
yeah probably honestly
Anahita nails the swimming events
Leviathan disqualified due to not fitting in the pool
If Calamitas picked up a car, I would not be suprised.
leviathan can compete in flying but will probably be smoked by yharon
Who’s good at skiing
(!)
cant think of nobody
Permafrost, but he's too old.
It’s easy to say permafrost is good at any of the winter events but surely more than just him
Deerclops isn't a Calamity character, nerd.
No doubt but we’re talking just calamity here
(!) (!) (!) (!) (!)
Draedon would probably be good at figure skating I think
All about precision and careful execution
Thanatos competes in bobsledding as the bobsled itself
He wouldn’t even need skates because his feet are already metal
i don't think giant gecko pads are very good for gliding
Do you really think he, of all characters, wouldn’t make it work
Just stance up on the tips
need some bulk
he's also like 12 feet tall and already looks hard to balance
but fair
I’m just saying if anyone would be able to be good at it I think it’d be him
the dude that constructs huge war machines can probably make a flash pair of ice skates for himself
flashy*
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
he'd just make himself a body specifically fine-tuned for figure skating
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
imagine a new exo mechs boss that is immune to magic and stuff
so solo mage players have a horrible time
imagine new horseshoes that are made of uranium
so the horses get radiation poisoning and die
that's not the worst part
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
lets keep the material out of the conversation because this is going really south, an exo mech with magic immunity is the main idea
Ultron probably wouldn't like Draedon due to how he's not a supremacist.
imagine a quintet of bosses that act like the different classes
eh
he tends to try to not dislike purely mechanical beings
I don't see Draedon doing genocide on all organic life.
if i understood this right do you mean bosses that are made for classes?
so he likely wouldn't outright dislike him
a melee mech, a ranger mech, a mage mech, a summoner mech, and a thrower mech
draedon would absolutely hate ultron though
morals or not, trying to commit global genocide is ghoulish
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
draedon is not nearly murderous enough to be like ultron
i dont actually think he is murderous
he is murderous if it advances science
like sure he does murder but just because a car can make waffles doesnt make it a wafflemaker
he is also against murder if it advances science
yeauh
the plague isnt just "haha evil virus" no its a scientific opportunity that draedon will kill once he gains enough info
his stance is "whatever it takes (to advance science)"
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
How are you teleporting?
@lucid wigeon
oh. this is not the channel for that. #calamity-mod-talk
Oh, my bad. Wrong channel
all good
also if it gets too out of control
that too
honestly i feel he woulda deployed it in a normalized testing environment
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
i believe he woulda deployed it anyways
but like. in a better manner
than "BOOM baby!!! glass breaking!!!"
where it would have had a very limited amount of ways to exit the biome
in case of an emergency
ice has jackall why would he put it there
transport of a nanovirus is a precise thing, especially during War Time
he was developing it in the place where it would've been the most catastrophic if an accident occured
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
what implies he wasnt gonna deploy it in the jungle
there's a reason why scientists working with dangerous diseases are usually both underground and in extremely cold areas
those are plagues (organic) not plagues (bionic)
so if a break out does happen, it is less likely to spread far
the snow biome has like
3 things it could infect
^
compared to basically the entire jungle being able to be infected
also i think he needed access to queen bee larva
which are infamously delicate and probably not good to transport overseas
Just you wait until we get Deerbringer Goliath
Won’t be sounding like such a good alternative after she shows up
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 ?
Up to interpretation.
like how old is character in start of calamity and on the end
after boss rush
The only thing we know that "it wasn't too long" between defeating CalClone and SCal.
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
we'd just kill him again 🔥 🔥
I was under the impression that he can't, and that normal souls don't persist after death
we have instances of a few who do
polterghast and its coagulites are mainly souls trapped in ghouljuice but theyre still here
plus the souls of light night allat
Yeah. Not sure then
He can't.
Yharon can only bring back Auric Dragons.
It's not a racism thing his power literally only works on them.
@wanton pendant i know one of them is xeroc but what is the other
Silva is the functionally unkillable god.
Due to her being an Elemental, so long as nature exists on the planet, she cannot die.
interesting
Of course, killing nature would require Yharim to kill everyone, including himself.
And also probably the other elementals since those are also living things probably
the power of rebirth works normally for non-auric dragons. i.e. yharon is able to reconstitute your flesh into a new form of arbitrary age which can persist onward but the new reincarnation, if he's able to do it, is just a fast tracking of your current soul into a new vessel and not a memory transfer
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
how old could yharim live to be
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
Around 140.
Is it true that there was an Auric Tesla Armor legion in the Old Lore, or is this just a rumor?
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
I don't remember hearing about that in the old lore, but there was a Godslayer Armour division who guarded the Devourer of Gods.
Old lore was all over the place. Wouldn't be suprised if such a thing existed.

Wait
So
Yharon can just turn someone into a fish theoretically
i don't think he has that much control over it but yeah
🔥
Maybe Yharon could turn himself into a fried chicken
he could always do that
Yharon already burns himself mid fight that already happens
First he can trans your gender, now he can trans your species. What next?
Transitions you into fungus
if you let yharon grab onto you long enough to turn you into a mushroom you were probably already fucked
to be honest
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?
would you want a random new face?
excruciatingly since yharon is reconstituting the old flesh and sewing it into you
Neat.
"That Shakidou got me good, Yharon, took my arm clean off!"
"Don't worry, watch this."
Five minutes of screaming later.
"This is a Lihzahrd arm."
Maybe
Does it gotta be random
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
it's just uncontrolled
you get a New face and not a Regenerated face
I meant the kitten part.
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!
Ok, like, what are the chances ANYONE would recognize that? Other than like, Yharon.
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
I dunno man.. like, a lot probably.
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
that's a very mean thing to say
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?
Because the Hallow is the same thing as the Corruption and Crimson.
They're all the gore of slain gods.
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
I think they just like Form
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.
I assume its that being influenced by a hundred torn apart dead minds is still not
Very nice to the mind even if they are benevolent
In lore maybe because it just got formed and thus can't really make things yet. Also maybe cause it's made of good/neutral gods rather than evil ones it doesn't feel a a need or desire to for some reason.
what the hell kinda bot
?
Hallow didn't just get formed, it was just contained, like most of the other infection.
Yes the essence was contained but the Hallow itself didn't exist yet I don't think
How would a biome be contained inside the wall?
Magic.
I thought it was just that the essence was and then was released and permeated the land, forming the Hallow.
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.
So I assume it'd take some time to reach the same level of danger as the evil biomes that had existed for a long long time.
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.
Weren't the essences contained before they made the Hallow? Like wasn't that the whole point of the wall, to contain stuff before it starts messing things up?
I should go reread the lore doc
If they never got the chance to form biomes, Yharim wouldn't have known it was something to deal with.
What about the evil biomes
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
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
Here’s a question
What voice does plaguebringer Goliath have when it announces the nuke barrage
Hallowed metal existed before the hallowed in game which requires the hallowed to exist so there is possibility of hallowed appearing in the past
Specifically that one reddit text to speech voice
(Yharim heading to Draedon’s lab after getting an invite) “I can’t wait to see what science project Draedon had me contribute voicelines to, I do hope it’s exciting- GOOD LORD!”
good morning everybody!
I genuinely hate yharim now, how did i not find this anywhere
did the genocide part not did it for you
did you really specifically need to be told hes a manipulator
Yharim literally halved the population of the planet.
Yharim is like, the worst of the worst
yeah. i hate it when good people do bad things
nothing else could have indicated he'd do something like that
I wish we could've released this with SSO and a Calamitas dialogue revamp
It lands so much weaker without supporting context
This is a major problem we need to fix
give me your amidias dialogue except im saying it in an unexplicable dracula voice
wasnt yharim brought by Dogma, aka Gaslighting Champion
calamitas fell prey to that gaslighting. fortunately, she's also really honest abt how much an asshole yharim is
I wanted instances of his worst
God of Dogma is new to me since the previous master cal mod document
yeah and again the part where he goes i KILLED them i ay HELL YEAH lets KILL THEM ALL lets go KILL THEM ALL i kILLED THEM ALL is not his worst?
I alr know about the case with silva and agnus and etc
hey guys! lets murder an entire culture and civilization and almost certainly cause a complete ecological collapse in the process YAYY
just the best guy ever really
more destructive sure, more evil is debatable
He genocided
countless people
and left a permanent effect on some ecosystems
said effects are more hazardous than fucking nuclear bomb aftermaths

wallahi his ass is going to hell
ultra hell
you just described the destructive effects of his actions
i am referring to intentions
The end dont justify the means
you're still being counted by actions
i don't even know what you're arguing and i do not want to continue
it was kinda a stupid statement anyways
sorry
Chat do you think Shakidou looks like the Empyrean outfit?
no
Okay
well since we got nothing on shakidou
shaki is the god of what again
emtpiness
strange but not outlandish
i dont remember what uuuuh.
statis looks like
i remember he has a fun arm
but i headcanon that shakidou has no right arm but can still articulate objects like they do
yuh
sounds neat
ooh i thought he had a floating gauntlet
this is an old version and he'll reportedly have "shadow limbs" (whatever that means)
purple transparent limbs
obviously
Hey, do you guys know the Legend of Maxx
They finally updated
It's been 5 years
Even longer than that since something that wasn't a Halloween special
Meld predates shakidous existence in lore and irl
And why would one pillar thing be god related when sll the others are basically dragon related
i always imagined Shakidou to just be really emo
archon will prob kill me for this but Exactly like this
this is not a canon depiction
not auraful enough
"It's Not a Phase, Yharim", theme of Shakidou.
Azafure, clearly.
azafurians are naturally emo. have you seen calamitas
well, i guess she's goth
still alt
and shes stuck at the age of 20ish physically
her ass is not moving on
from that phase
She... does age.
she's stuck at the age of 20 because she's in her 20s
no, no, she just is in her 20's

What
what???
she's not like thousands of years old or whatever
i thought she was like semi immortal
She just actually is in her late 20s
No
She's like 28.
no she's a normal person
28 is a high estimate
what the fuck
Thats permafrost who is old but even he still dies eventually
with unimaginable magical power
27-28 was the number we were given
i will destroy the lore doc
fuckass lore misinfo
technically it is the high estimate
i think like, 24 is more accurate
She was a minor when she worked for yharim
Yharim would have to like, recruite an 8 year old for that.
Which he'd probably do.
permafrost, yharim and yharon are the ridiculously old characters, yharon is the oldest at somewhere around 10-12 millennia
calamitas was born when yharim was over 100 years old
Oh dang
That's how old they can measure.
nah. he was there early
But Draedon does say that he's certainly older.
damn i never knew he was like an african warlord
recruiting child soldiers
i didn't know yharim was evil
That was the minimum on the fact dragons predate azafure
right
me when the guy in my head is actually evil
mfw the guy employing arsonists to burn down churches is evil
this isnt even something he lies about he just tells you outright he did this

yharim would pay a thief to steal candy from a baby and then batman origin story the parents if they were god-fearing
Then he would have Auric Batman who kills theists.
would steven universe be able to fix yharim
It's like Batman, but he's racist.
No
whole song and everything
Yharim does not believe he is in the wrong to put it simply
i think hes a great study on narcisissm
you know that one sb universe where a diamond instantly kills one of her pearls for speaking up
"Y-you're right Steven... I see now the error of my ways... I will no longer use child soldiers in my Crusade!"
study
That's right. The minimum age for becoming conscripted is now a whopping 15 years old! Earlier if your parents register you as frontline expendable infantry
I have only seen the last panel what
the last panel became a meme
No more orphaned 12 year olds fighting!
Only ones with parents!
you can have cool ass laser guns
tho
who said you're getting a weapon
Pal, you are the weapon. Wear this grenade jacket.
surely all of the multi planet mining can benifit us
Whar
Multi-planet mining?
i imagine Fragging your superior officer is something common in yharim's military for fresh conscripts
What planets are you mining?
dosent draedon mine other planets??
No.
No
He says so.
So new recruits probably just don't start with a weapon so they don't gain an arsenal gun and then immediately blow the nearest godseeker's brains out
'In contrast, I will present a short-term goal: I wish to begin harvesting minerals from this world's moon. With the husk of the cosmic titan culled, I plan to begin experiments with wireless spatial linkage. The teleporters you are familiar with must be wired and are thus unsuitable for interplanetary distances. Scalable logistical means for instantaneous transport will be paramount in harvesting and ferrying materials beyond Terraria when this world becomes unsuitable for my needs. To be clear, I do not wish to see this world devastated and have no intentions of ruining it.'
you're telling me this guy specifically extracts large chunks from the planet directly
wut do you think the burrowers are for
oh so when we beat the moon lord he could begin his interplanetary project
dont worry dredon i downloaded the wireless teleporters mod
problem solved

There's still the space goop.
just use rod of discord
Render distance isn't far enough.
i think theres the bigger issue of the moon being evil that draedon has to deal with before stripmining it
the moon's evil what
It's Haunted.
yeah what
I've been saying this.
Moons evil
the moon's evil
i haven't heard this before
so it has lingering moonlord influence??
Bloodmoons and eclipses just
Happen
no. it was always evil
How, I say this like, twice a day at least.
oH that makes sense
oh wow
Predates ml
wtf
i don't frequent this channel much
No, no, that's ridiculous.
This channel?
I say it everywhere. The people must know.
fym its just evil
It's evil.
it's just evil
Haunted, even.
I've never seen you say it before
The moon is probably alive, and it hates you for certain.
why didn’t yharim just ask for an exo sponge that never needs recharging so he can win every fight
the moon wants to kill you
because exotech didn't exist when he and draedon cut the partnership silly
why didnt yharim download the stars above mod
Homophobic.
and have overpowered weaponry
yharim it has subworld library
we can leave the planet yharim
Why would he leave the planet when the gods are here to be murdered?
no because that’s breaking the fourth wall
he cant do that
yeah he can
he would never be guided by lesbians
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
i thought there was only one world soul
nuh uh
which is the planet
who lives on the dark side of the sun
Theres multiple planets and we have not gone and confirmed if it had one or not
i got a pylon there
Terraria doesn't have a World Soul... anymore.
its my angler house
Worlds dead theory seems to be correct
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
oh my glob
oh so thats why dog was after us
So this implies there’s a Martian world soul and potentially Martian auric soul beings if it broke
I think they meant Moon Lord.
okay wait so if its shattered what happens after you die
Why would that have anything to do with it?
your death isn't canon afaik
a guy told me your soul goes to the world soul
Who?
Terrarian first tries every boss
They made that up.
some other mod discord
Wow, you didn't trust me, John Lore, and went to some other peasant!
mostly people misremembering old iterations of it and also filling in the gaps with their own ideas
its also why i stopped watching youtube videos surrounding it
Good idea.
anything before march 2023 is guaranteed to be outdated
and even a bunch of stuff after that is outdated lol
jungle dragon yharon
jungle tyrant yharim
oh god i remember that lol
(why is this still so common)
They should have just called it 'Jungle Mod'.
Yes.
yharim the lihzahrd
yharim's brother was killed p early on into the mod existing
Hey its me John Lore. Did you know that Yharim the Jungle Tyrant is a twink
Who was like, a crazy cultist who died.
False
Was
Plankton die gif
he was like thrown in lava
Nu uh its true
Source: trust me bro
then the egg hatched
Shu
and somehow hes saved
Dragon picked him up.
yharim's brother worked at azafure's walmart
yeah
Does that mean someone can ascend using moon soul
And become moon god
Helpful illustration.
imagine a dragon uber
no; it isn't shattered and therefore not in small enough pieces to ascend with
They would probably explode.
do they have wafflehouse
You think there’s ever gonna be a Martian yharim if mars’ world soul shatters
Still open.
thank god
What if they're cracked
As in
They're really stong
r
green yharim
They filled in any cracks and blemishes with EVIL sealant!
if you can shatter a planet's soul then you don't really need to ascend, do you?
Just break it first duh
would it still be a powerup
Even the fucking xeroc has only a fragment of the world soul
if its just a multiplier
just eat it slowly
Good point.
Adjust the scaling.
The strongest Calamity character is the Moon.
what if someone hoarded every piece
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
But they can only use One Piece, that's the real truth.
the one piece…
so its like a golden bough from project moon
i never knew it was tied to a domain??
like imagine if you were the most powerful being in the universe and you got handed the flame shard and could produce piddling magical flames forever. that wouldn't be a powerup
World Soul Shards grant domains.
er. world soul shards have domains. you can utilize the domain when you ascend
i thought it was more of a direct powerup
nuh uh
It grants you power over a thing, which is basically zero mana cost for it.
wait is the domain another dimension? or does it project outward
No.
are world souls like a physical thing
If draedon ever felt like bringing a big ass drill into the moon would he find it
if your soul is split from it you lose the ability to use that domain for free. so if someone found zeratros' soul and reincarnated him, he'd just be a perfectly normal dragon with no powers since his soul and therefore shard was taken by xeroc
like regular souls i think that it can manifest in ways but generally isn't something you can touch
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
how did it even shatter in the first place
idk. i wasn't there
earth stumbled on a rock and fell
I blame Yharon.
some guy shimmered himself to the earth's core
Just because he's a jerk.
and it exploded
I blame him anyway.
that's fair
Yharon has no owner.
I blame you
You can't talk, impostor.
yharon is kinda responsible for gods having to exist tho
people kept saying on mod discords i frequen that hes somehow a fraud for having the souls taken
all the auric dragons are frauds. don't worry

with small exceptions
imagine if you were like a bad mage, and you got binded to a shard
just squandering all that potential cuz you don't have any skills
The terrarian
yeah. that's p much all of the auric dragons
wait which dragon did dogma ascend from
they got basically infinite spam abilities and then started using them to prevent anyone else from getting ahold of them. one actual enemy able to fight them comes and then they all die
Faith
dragon of faith
Snail
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
dragon of faith vs reddit strongest atheist
dogma is reddit's strongest theist
Yharim.
5k page thread
over the span of 5 hours
part of why i'm confused when people talk about the glory of the auric dragons is that they were literally sitting on their asses being a problem and then couldn't fight off one threat as a Group without casualties
was the moon lord at that time really that strong
yeah
cause i keep imagining him as just cuthulu
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
Only weaker then xeroc
but we won't make future boss fovos
i wonder if they'll decide to make him some sort of part of an eldritch race
like fuckin alien x from ben 10
damn all the dragons were actual bums
Doubtful
I mean, he's already from the screwed up dimension with the giant worms.
he got killed by 5 normal humans btw
Qhar
💔
they had obsidian skin potion
Who was the fifth?
Oh flame
the + variant
This is Fovos in truth
I thought you said fovos got killed by 5 normal people
i would believe providence would drag in some fodder to distract flame long enough to drive a spear into his skull
wait what so the dragons werent the ones who defeated moonlord and sealed him on the moon!?
it was fucking providence and her squad!?
They were.
i did not say that
Providence didn't do any of that!
i do think its kinda funny how humans in calamity can reach that far in strength
It's called gym.
Magic exists
they literally couldn't do anything but train and get stronger back then since they were trapped underground due to the presence of zeratros
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
Xeroc you need to lock in your friends are dying.
the dragons were all busy scratching they butts instead of training
do yall terrarians have a canon god they worship
My terrarian is pro yharim
If you pray to a god Yharim should begin blowing up your rock phone with phone calls.
All really toxic guilt tripping.
put him on mute
its that shrimple
You have to understand terrarian... imagine if you believed in ME instead of that... filth
He's also emailing you.
kinda scary, you are wasting your time on the surface, while being unaware that Cavedwelling underground humans are secretly training to murder you the second you let your guard down.
and you've been doing NOTHING, while they've been preparing all this time
And sending pizza to your house with messages on them.
oh god he has the fucking IT interns flooding my shit
yeah. exactly
they were literally only on top because humans couldn't do any permanent damage
Just like in real life.
heyhey wait wait wait
are you saying dwarves are gonna kill us
what do you mean
don't you guys know about the subterraneans
Yeah, the subterraneans.
we can easily kill them
Why do you think bugs constantly break into houses
with microplastic
the Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers
more famously knows as CHUDS
the chuds...
they're coming...
It’s cold outside
im luring them so they could become dye
unfortunately the only bugs im encountering are red
replace y in dye with i
so its only red husks
have you considered that maybe they were there first, and YOU were the one who broke in
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
oops...
i don't think they thought that far ahead tho
nice one Zeratros
Yeah, Yharon could simply TOSS humans into Fovos!
Zeratros deserved to get his soul taken by Xeroc
that's true. it'll give him time to run away
Just like the hit game Pikmin.
dreamwork will copyright the devs
for that idea
Xeroc is using his powers for far better reasons anyways
what did he do for 800 years
that we know of
in my heart I know he's been fending off the distortion
i wonder if were held as a savior after the ending of the mod
that's what Xeroc has been doing all this time
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
i don't think so in his current position, probably so immediately after ascension
DoG actually runs a tourism business on the side.
could he even enter, and would the distortion do weird things to his light
zeratros was kind of really ineffective as a protector
bro was casually cooking 90% of all lifeforms
do you think forest fires were common
zeratros is like a less effective asgore
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
Asgore killed people due to peer pressure.
Asgore was out here murdering children
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
but guys he was guilty his theme song said so
maybe one child
somehow the fucking ut fandom describes humans as this all powerful eldritch magical beings
Could Asgore win against the US military debate locked after 17,982 messages of debate.
why didnt he just do that
so they keep saying asgore would've lost
are humans that cracked
well, no
they're not
he didn't want to
Gun?
was he scared to find out?
the other children didn’t seem too strong
you have infinite determination
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
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.
he already fought them in the first war
determination is like the power system in UD, like ki in dragonball or haki in one piece
he lost because they had magical bullshit
bruh what was he doing then, just a genuine fraud
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
how does 6 souls make a big flower and 7 souls turn you into god of hyperdeath
why was he goofy mister oddball in the pacific ending instead of getting hated on
pacific ending its actually over
pacific ending
the children that fell were all special somehow
Is there also an Atlantic ending?
and that they had enough dt to make you a god
The more souls, the more mutations you experience, but seven makes you strong enough to change your appearance how you want.
it was literally just up to circumstance
and still asgore could've just used one
because they were that gifted
oh so was it kinda like, he didnt wanna genocide all of humanity?
cause it's bad to murder so many people
the war was so long ago though
his ass could've used deplomacy
He mainly did it because he got really angry and promised he would but couldn't bring himself to retract it, last I checked.
determination allows you and your will to become more 'Real'. human souls produce determination in excess, so any monster who absorbs one can just force it to produce determination; asriel was able to manifest anything using his mind upon absorbing the 7 souls and that was their plan
they would have become what are effectively eldritch gods and killed every human
i think he was also couped up in his castle for too long
the monsters in the game most of them dont really mind humans now
Like, humans had just killed his kid in cold blood.
it didn't have to be child souls
the whole war promise was kinda gone in their heads
And that was right after his other kid killed themselves.
i think gerson is the only person alive who's even seen the war
the other kid died due to wounds
it's been a long time
He didn't want to murder people, he was a child!
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
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
well, yeah
but he's a coward
Dude i really liked how kris in deltarune shows this more
since they were wearing the horn thing for a while
Chara and Asriel were idiots. How do you read cups of butter and think buttercups are the same thing?
just to feel like they fitted in
asriel has never seen a cow
10 year olds are idiots
Bro, your parents are goats!
you don't milk your parents 😭
there has to be some normal animals in lore
like
i mean
do they have different animals
frisk brings up goats to gerson
underground
there are, but they're on the surface
🐌
Also, screwed up of Toriel to call what was basically her adopted child someone she used to know.
gerson is old enough to remember when humans and monsters were living together and therefore knows what a 'Goat' is
doesnt seem like it from his response
asriel was like actually 10 years old when he died and was born post-war
the more you disect it the more you can see outside of the fandom bs how the dremurr family was kinda toxic
Also letting children bake unsupervised when they could apparently barely read.
do we just forgive asgore for killing 6 kids at the end of the pacifist route
no
no
Ok, counterpoint, those kids walked up a cursed mountain, it's on them.
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
one had a gun
with no bullets
Gun doesn't beat curses.
it's charas fault for trying to end their own life..?
I think it’d be kinda weird if normal farm animals lived alongside sapient animal like monsters
We live alongside monkeys.
true
cattle also eat regular food to produce milk and not monster food
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.
monsters that look like skeletons
OR NESS FROM EARTHBOUND!
cause i just see them as magic powered constructs
yet sans can bleed
or its his ketchup or sum shit
Now who’s gaster
idk anymore
draedon
i think sans bleeding will be confirmed in like dr ch6
hog wild before dr chapter 5
this is true!
i think the shards
will form as a mirror
in the end of the game
if you dont pick the weird route
why would we even make the twisted sword out of the pure crystal if it has the same stats as the black shard
When do we get a Calamity Weird Route?
(Calamitas just gets put through it all again, sicko.)
how would that work. is it like
He picks you up gently like hamburger.
strap it onto their armor
thats signus' job!
He does this to you.
too expensive. he costs an arm and a leg
is dog’s stomach an automatic teleport or when he ate status and broiler he made a portal in his gut
i think automatic teleport
How does he enjoy food
i don't think DoG can actually digest anything and it just goes elsewhere, but he can taste it
hence why he calls you tasteless slop
Tantalus but if they REALLY hated the guy.
is it because of the qol mods i downlaoded
Yea
pylons:
essentially
he's also narratively fucked if that helps
then multiple fishing areas
I know, but I think the idea is that the devs dont wanna give you free accurate teleporters without having to work a bit for them first
I mean, if we didn't kill DoG, someone would.
"hello people of terraria im in the fuckass war continent and today were gonna do the dog cheese method"
when was this background added?
or is this not official since i have like 2000 mods
Brainstorm
cool
or hair
That's the plume.
i want hari
Are you saying Permafrost couldn't do it?
its a curse put on him
he could only have a fucked up hairline
why do you think he wears that helmet all the time
Because he has long since lost sight of anything other than his unending conquest.
wait wait
your on to something
its not a W tho
its a Y
for yharim
and that line
in the visor
is the rest of the hairline
and the visor is used to cover his hairy face
Well, not quite.
Azufre is sulphur in Spanish.
But it is named after the Spanish word.
Since it's Spain themed.
is draedon water resistant
because electronics don’t mix with water wouldn’t he combust and explode whenever it rains
if bro can create infinite energy crystals he can create water proof technology
why would he not have figured out waterproofing but figured out how to make the exo mechs
He probably has at least one drone that is water resistant.
And probably most of them are.
Draedon himself is an AI, and as such can't come in contact with water due to being code.
draedon i need that resin you use, for my underwatercooled pc
Why would yharim have a mage crystal if he’s melee build
right
he is a man of many trades
he invests in all weaponry so that he is unpredictable in combat
he has a keyboard
he can use the f1 f2 etc keybinds
