when we give winged light to the statues in eden are we saving other skykids? if that’s true then how are we reborn without being given wl? is it because of the figure we hug?

cold sparrow
#

when we pick up winged lights, they have the shape of a skykid
so, it would be plausible that we're just returning the light to another skykid
and the figure we hug might indeed be our own light?

#

oh maybe! i was under the impression that the figure we hug is something like megabird

yes, we are giving winged light to petrified skykids to save them. presumably, another skykid has to give us winged light to save our petrified forms.

Well they’re intangible you literally can’t

Spirits are tangible since we can hug them. You could totally bite a spirit if you so desired, you’d just have to make it a sneak attack, since it seems like they can control if they’re tangible or not

It's simple
You take out a chunk mid-hug

Like they make themselves tangible to hug you or do things so you’d have to go in for a hug and then chomp. However, the idea of this betrayal makes me very sad, and so if someone did it I would have to intervene

Is the Tom Zhao concept art considered canon lore? Several of the concepts are hinted at in-game, but nothing is explicitly confirmed or denied in-game

No, it’s not. Some stuff might have carried over, but unfortunately there’s a persistent problem of people valuing it on the same level as confirmed canon lore, which isn’t true.

i rewatched the concert today and i am pretty convinced by the theory that the ancestors got overzealous with technology which lead to the downfall
there was a lot of destructive blue light raining down. i am guessing these are memories of the war. and if you get too close to the opening in the clouds in the first half of the song, you are temporarily drained of light. also, during the intense parts of the song there is some darkness that leaked up through the clouds which also drain your light, which i am assuming is due to the battle that is happening below the clouds (which you can sort of catch a glimpse of depending on your angle). i didnt catch any good screenshots but maybe i'll go back through later and see if i can
also. the song "the seed" itself kind of a 'battle song' of sorts against the overuse of technology. which fits thematically with what seemed to have happened in the golden wasteland.

mortal tide
#

Why were the mantas in cages during the concert storytelling stuff ._. I think the sky dudes dug their own graves and and made their world doo doo and from the battle in the wasteland I deduced there were 2 sides but the mantas did nothing wrong ｡ﾟ(ﾟ´Д｀ﾟ)ﾟ｡

junior mesa
#

full disclosure these are just my theories based on what limited info i know since i am VERY new to lore chat
but anyways. i'm still trying to piece that aspect together. my theory is that this concert was, in a way, telling us the story of the ancestors?
so i think that during the song that we see the capturing of the creatures of light (warrior) was when the ancestors started to get a little too overzealous about their technology and maybe were harvesting creatures of light for the technology.
alternatively, most of the capturing was occurring during warrior, and the following song was the seed, so maybe all the capturing of those creatures of life was actually war prep? who knows !
ofc other lorechat members are free to pop in with their own theories or correct me. i am just having a good time trying to make sense of the game's lore for now lol

random token
#

I agree with some of naty theory I just needed a reminder bc I found it incredibly sad.

frigid tinsel
#

you're like almost completely on the mark for stuff that has a lot of evidence for though I wanna point out this:

my theory is that this concert was, in a way, telling us the story of the ancestors?
consider that all the spirit memories we have experience up to this point have been an ancestor's spirit memories. we are on the same level of the ancestors, on the ground, following their footsteps even if the ground they walked on has collapsed. however during the concert, we embody creatures – fish, butterflies, mantas, birds.

we are not seeing ancestor memories during the concert, we are seeing memories of light creatures. yes, there are ancestors in the concert, but we don't see their perspective, we don't follow their footsteps. most of the time, we fly above them, getting a bird's eyes view (literally and figuratively) of moments in the kingdom's time. we are the jellyfish miners chased away. we are the mantas ancestors captured. we are the butterflies fluttering over their bodies.

Aurora herself and much of her music align with environmentalist themes – to protect nature, to bond with nature. the ancestors pillaged and polluted their environment to advance their civilization, they "took the light from the wind" until there are little light left and they fought over what remained. we know that from the ancestor spirit memories and the ruins they left behind. in the concert, we see not from the ancestors (or human) perspective, but we see from nature's perspective in order to empathise with the creatures and their land who were pillaged and polluted.

gods know people are calling aurora a sad season but i feel like that kind of misses the theme ive found which is finding hope in the sadness, in the dark times, and in rising up out of them

the fierceness of hope will always and forever get me right in the heart and so im very emotional about this season

Hi lorechat
I've been wondering what's up with those explosive cyan lights in the wasteland section of the Aurora concert, thoughts?

untold notch
#

one theory ive seen is that it's the elder(s) of the valley sending cyan light (air) into the wasteland to block it and the war off from valley's then prosperous cities

keen shore
frigid tinsel
#

the Cave of Prophecies murals depict Sunset receiving cyan light, so they are presumed to have air powers of some kind. there's a thought that Sunset created one or more vortexes between their realm and Wasteland to keep the pollution and/or krills from infecting their realm. the Seed of Hope section of the concert may be depicting that.

oh my gosh this makes so much sense :0 i hadn't thought of it that way!
but to add to that, then the quests leading up to the concert were from the perspective of the ancestors, since we followed the actual memories as our sky kids
and so during the concert we then see the perspective of the creatures of light, who were caught in the crossfire
in a way we got both sides of the story
we got the real time experiences of a select few ancestors, and then the aerial view of the story overall from the perspective of the creatures of light during the concert
which makes the story tie itself together nicely

lusty merlin
# wicked prairie i think one sky kid existed with the ancestors, the one from the switch trailer ...

Based on the intro I’d say it implies the majority of skykids came after. Besides the one skykid in stargazers momory. And what caelus said about the possibly of a child being a skykid in the animation teaser but it’s still uncertain. Could argue the child in wayfarers song is a skykid but I think it’s just wayfarer as a child. Just to keep the theme consistent of the aurora spirits appearing in their memory, it would be weird if that pattern was ignored till the 2nd song

I feel like I don't acknowledge how sad Sky actually can be
I mean, from the moment we're brought into this world it's a sad and desolate area with no people other than the other sky kids. Our entire existence is to save a world we barely know anything about and in order to do that we also have to die over and over and over again and we have to keep getting reborn each time. Knowing what I know about Sky now, the isle of dawn is such an oddly terrifying place for me... The emptiness is what always disturbs me, especially knowing that place was probably once filled with life

#

I'm not sure how much the Isle of Dawn was actually a living place before. We don't see a lot of homes and buildings as in other areas. I think, especially looking at the story you see in Runaway, the Isle is more of a place where pilgrimages start or traversed through. A place where you land with your boat, then try to catch a flying one to reach one of the (remaining?) safe havens.

# ebon burrow if the animated teaser is canon (is it? idk i'm new here), then isle used to hav...

The animation teaser is canon from what we can tell, as it shows a bunch of ingame locations and even two spirits we can recognize! [The switch trailer is debatably canon, though].

There’s a common theory that Isle ancestors lived a nomadic lifestyle, hence why they live mostly in natural-made caves or temporary homes, and why titles like ‘voyager’ are common for the spirits there. Unfortunately, that would mean they also didn’t leave a lot of ruins behind, making Isle look even more desolate in their absence

tepid veldt
#

can i ask why the switch trailer is debatably canon? what points to it potentially not being?

keen shore
#

I’m glad you asked! Be right back I’m gonna grab some images to show you

#

The easiest comparison between the two can be found here. First image is from the switch trailer, second is from the animation teaser. They’re of the same area in green Isle of Dawn.

A lot of differences are immediately obvious; some are probably just due to the weather or place in the timeline (amount of clouds, tent locations, trees). HOWEVER, there is one major difference, and those are the mountains. How different they look isn’t something that can be explained by perspective or weather, or even time.

You can also notice that in the animation teaser, Isle looks a lot more like how it does in game. The rock formations are the exact same, the cliffs are familiar; you can even pick out Candlemaker’s cave hidden behind a tent awning if you look close enough. This theme actually shows throughout the teaser a lot; two ancestors that are present are immediately identifiable as rejecting voyager and ushering stargazer, and I have a personal theory that some prophecy students showed up as well.

It’s my belief that while the switch trailer focused on going absolutely wild with what they could do with the world, including not thinking about things like the geographical logistics of the paths the main characters took, the animation teaser is the result of a pretty quick realization that if they made Isle and its ancestors much more immediately recognizable it would hit the audience harder emotionally. It also seems like it’s telling a fairly lore significant story from what we know so far, meaning it fitting into the world easily would be more important than it was for the switch trailer. Unfortunately, this also means that the switch trailer isn’t as reliable of a source when it comes to figuring out canon, hence why I phrased it like that

Not really! We free them, we take them to the temples to ascend, and then afterwards they can come back for any length of time in the realms. The place they go when they ascend (the Light) can be left or rejoined at any time if they desired, like how we leave it to be reborn, but they’re still spirits.

#

I don’t know if anyone has said this yet but during the war scene in the aurora concert it looks like it’s the people of the ancestors against the kings guards, who suit sharp and larger frames than the ancestors. Maybe the people in the kingdom realized how corrupt the king was and tried to over throw him

spring python
#

There’s not much to really give a verdict, I personally believe it’s not fully intact but it’s still there since the ancestors bless us with their light before we are reborn, so we still maintain a few things (maybe what they give us has to do with memories we made around them)

Hello guys, does aurora is in the painting? the queen of Eden?

#

i've finished the season event and i've find out the theory that Aurora is all known Queen of Eden

Its my theory tho😅

untold notch
#

another quarter for the jar

faint quail
#

God is a woman and her name is Aurora 😂

white merlin
#

Ok here’s an idea

#

So you know how skykids just keep going back to Eden, dying, and getting reborn? What’s the point of that? What if skykids aren’t going to free other skykids, they’re going to give light to the eden crystal

#

Think about it, our light has been shown to have restorative properties. And the eden crystal in the game has only CRACKED and it caused a mass extinction. Imagine what would happen if it fully shattered.

#

So: the powers that be in the sky world, Aurora? Elders? Something else? Needed to prevent that to save what’s left. So they create the skykids to gather light and get it to eden

#

We aren’t supposed to be saving the skykids that come before us, that’s just an extra perk. We’re supposed to be preventing the crystal from shattering fully. And as shown in the season of shattering, it’s not a complete fix

#

So after we die in Eden, the next skykids come and free us so we can be reborn. Once we’re reborn, we go do the exact same thing to the ones that freed us

given Season of Shattering, I think the Eden diamond already shattered

the Light itself is a conglomerate of all ascended beings of light. Megabird, depending on your interpretation, is a manifestation of the Light, so arguably Orbit is part of a deity if you see Megabird as a deity.

I don’t think that bit is canon, at least not in the way this timeline depicts it. Creatures were killed for darkstone production, but the mantas in the seed section of the concert are likely war mantas; you can clearly see the ancestors attacking each other both there and in seed of hope’s quest.

yea, as the Aurora concert showed, it doesn't look like it was ancestors vs light creatures but ancestors exploiting light creatures like resources.

Megabird is the proverbial god of Sky, presumably analogous with the Light, which is a big mass of light composed of ascended beings of light. anything else is really up to your interpretation, but many consider Megabird = the Light to some capacity.

I see the Light as a hivemind and Megabird as the Light's consciousness, given power by all that intelligent light within Them, thus able to direct things regarding light

The way some are describing it makes me think of the Sikh concept of God where it's an entity made up of everyone

popping in very briefly to give a quick description of how i see Megabird!

in the post-Orbit credits, we see the camera zoom out on our planet, our solar system, further and further until all the stars form the shape of a bird - this is our galaxy, and this is Megabird's physical form, such as it is. i think Megabird as an individual is the collective consciousness of all those stars, all that Light - in that way, Megabird is everyone, and everyone has part of Megabird within them

I like to think of lore that’s found in concept art and such as legends within the world itself
So stories regarding an “Alef” have been passed down by some but it is just legend so it can be proven false at a later point

Doesn’t make any real difference in reality, it’s just framing dubious canonicity through a diagetic lens and lets some aspects not be completely discarded while firmly distinguishing them from more veritable lore

cold sparrow
#

the thing with concept art - speaking as an artist and learned game designer - is that there might be many things and ideas that come up during development that are being deliberately changed or discarded, because they maybe don't fit the aesthetic or intended purpose or world's lore that you established
even in-universe lore and stories have to be carefully crafted with intention. like, the paintings we see in caves are the legends of that world, and for all we know, they might be from an unreliable narrator and not be 'true' or accurate but they are stories and legends that exist in the sky world.

stories from concept art are not. (though you may headcanon them that way, certainly)

i'm still on the fence about it because aurora is a real person but i like to think that maybe an aurora-like figure is telling us these stories through song the same way a lot of parents/grandparents like,,, set kids down and tell them stories of their time or teach them cultural songs. and maybe some of it is just visual metaphor, especially the end part where she becomes large lol.

That’s a good point, I have to agree there

lusty merlin

to me anything can be lore, like even small things, it helps with world building imo. Warrior of loves quest showed entertainment in valley with manta races every when they were being captured. Things like that can be lore, doesn’t just have to big events like the war, though of corse that’s important too

Heck we learn about the history of how food was modified because we find it interesting, wouldn’t even eat bananas a thousand years ago yet now we can, small things can help enrich the world is what I’m trying to say

#

Same for shattering, a lot of people like to argue it’s not lore but like? We got a look of what the explosion could’ve been liked on a smaller scale. And while I don’t agree the poems should be social media only, they give insight to how plenty sky creatures were before the decline when eden exploded, and the last memory with the elders like???

I think if anything, rather than some goddess or queen, Aurora is just as she is represented in the game - a singer and storyteller who takes us on journeys through magical visions and memories via her songs
I still think there is lore to be read from the memories we can visit, such as war and exploitation of light creatures, but I think how we see them have been filtered through legends and stories that have been passed on (inside the concert, quite literally from the spirits to Aurora, and from Aurora to us)

From Gratitude to Rhythm it was how you viewed the final cutscene (AP 100% only,) and before seasonal hearts were introduced you'd obtain the ultimate reward after watching the cutscene. It was then moved to seasonal quest lines starting Enchantment, so yeah it's just left over code, it's not a dumb question since it's not clear to many that it's only a congratulatory message for 100%

# somber moss Maybe because of the environment they are in? Like those crabs that seem to glow...

i just learned something SO COOL. so i realized in sanctuary islands when in the cave the crabs are white, but if I carry it outside it turns gray, then back in it goes white again. and that reminded me of something i learned about a cave salamander called the olm who lives it's entire life in complete darkness, but it's white/slightly pink skin retains the ability to produce melanin when exposed to light in a process called melanogenesis, where it will darken! The pigment in the animal's skin is photosensitive!!! And the crabs at least in sanctuary seem to be the same!!!!!!! (The science might not be exactly correct I just read wikipedia)

we do it too when we tan in the sun, im not sure if it's the same process or just similar

#

something else I noticed but not sure about, it seemed like in the cave on their own they had less little globs of darkness on them, but when I pick one up more appear?

frigid tinsel
#

human skin tans and darkens thanks to melanocytes, cells that produce melanin, in order to protect ourselves against UV rays. long exposure to sunlight can make melanocytes produce more melanin but there are other triggers such as physical trauma (in fact, I experience hyperpigmentation, creating dark scars but some people experience hypopigmentation, creating lighter scars).

The intro does urge us to free the spirits, so imo skykids were sent there to find and free ancestors stuck in darkness, but are otherwise free to do as they please

untold notch
#

keen shore
#

I do know that the first thing on our minds when we wake up is a memory of Eden, that repeats but slowly becomes less important as we continue through the realms… the camera also zooms in on Eden when describing the destiny we have to fulfill in the new intro.

I’m thinking either

  1. fixing or trying to fix Eden is our skykid’s main destiny and they’re doing the rest along the way
    or, my currently preferred option
  2. helping the spirits and elders are our skykid’s purpose, like Vela said, but something about Eden lures us towards trying to fix it as well even after we know doing so is useless
#

The second option feels more right because, if we were sent down with a ‘purpose’, I’d think it would be the more easily achievable one that would save the most people and not the thing we have almost no chance of succeeding it. The intriguing aspect of this is wondering what exactly draws our skykid there so much and why it’s so important to us

#

Of course, having a purpose and a destiny isn’t the same thing, and it’s possible our skykid has the second but not strictly the first ^^

rigid mural
#

thinking about the crabs (and jellyfish ?) being lured in by light in the shattering poems, as well as sneezing geographer's books where light creatures rise around Eden when it shines bright...

keen shore
#

I don’t know if it’s just that… as we get closer to the mountain, when it should be brighter and hypothetically draw us in more, it becomes less important to us. We stop thinking about it during every elder cutscene; instead, we focus on other things like the spirits and elders. Also, if it were just us being attracted to the light, it would be from the moment we first saw it, and not as a memory we have even before that

#

It might be part of it, but I doubt that’s the only reason

sturdy wyvern
#

What if the reason that most light creatures migrate towards Eden is because the eden diamond looks kinda like orbit and therefore tricks their (instinctual?) senses into coming near it. Kinda like how a moth is drawn to a flame, even though the flame kills it.

Edit: clarification

naive grail
#

ooo
perhaps because of meeting all these spirits and experiencing their memories, Eden itself becomes less and less important to our skykid,signaling that they rather want to help those trapped there instead?

halcyon abyss
# keen shore Well now I’m curious; what do you think our purpose is?

This is a wonderful question.

I feel like the purpose is to simply explore, learning and growing through each experience. All of us are thrown into this world and fumble through the darkness until we start to light each other's candles.

I think Eden peaks our interest because it's this mystical place. stickerLove

It's eerie and there isn't really any preparation for what Eden is, but our natural journey of exploration gives us a glimpse. It allows us to work ourselves up to visiting a place we learn is scary.

I think it’s deeper than just having our interest piqued personally; at the start of the game, when we should have no memories and we’ve just woken up on the beach for the first time, we remember Eden. Which is really weird, right? That same memory appears again when we start Dawn’s cutscene and behind Day during theirs, then doesn’t show up again…

It’s so important to us that it’s the only thing we remember from our past life

austere bridge

#

Like, you can’t get much more important than that. It’s definitely not just a fascination with how pretty or bright it is at that point. Our skykid shouldn’t have even seen it yet, and yet they remember and are drawn intensely to it. It’s the first thing they ever think about, which is insane to me. Why?

naive grail

halcyon abyss
keen shore
# halcyon abyss Okay. I'm sorry to ask. Which memories are you referring to us remembering? I ...

No it’s fine! I had to think a bit to realize it was a memory. Just enter the Isle portal and you’ll see a short cutscene where Eden appears first, then various shots of the desolate Isle.

The Eden bit specifically is a memory for a few reasons:
1] We shouldn’t be able to see Eden at all from where we’re standing. The hill in front of us blocks us entirely.
2] The color palette doesn’t resemble how Eden actually looks now — as in, the memory is all tinted yellow-gray, instead of a dark mountain with a yellow beam and blue sky, which is how we’d see it looking at it from afar now.
3] Eden is way too detailed. From Isle, you only see it as a distant vague silhouette, but in the memory you see it really clearly

The first thing you think about bit depends on whether you consider the part where we wake up in Home and then go through the Isle portal canon or not. If you do, it’s our first memory, which is still very important — the difference is small enough that I didn’t see the point of having a whole tangent paragraph about it

So the giant diamond in Eden is something called darkstone; it’s that blue rock you light with your candle to make doors and mechanisms move. It’s this crystal-like material that absorbs light and uses it for energy.

This diamond was placed over the beam, the largest light source in the kingdom, although we’re unsure if the beam was active at that time. Due to unknown reasons, it ‘corrupted’, turning it a vivid red and making it so that instead of just using light for power when it was given, it sucked in all the light it could around it

It has been compared to a black hole quite a bit, with the clouds surrounding Eden as similar to an accretion disk and the beam like a quasar

just thought of another thing: why is it that us skykids need to, essentially, learn/relearn how to emote? unless that just falls within the 'no memories besides a vivid one of eden' thing

keen shore
#

Unfortunately, a lot of evidence we have for how everything with the diamond went down could be used as evidence for either theory. 😔 for instance, the beam not being present at the moment of explosion could be taken as either

  1. the diamond had absorbed all of it and had only just shattered, so not enough of it had escaped
    or
  2. the diamond had only just started absorbing light from everywhere around it and hadn’t been filled up enough to start spewing out the beam

Interestingly, I got a glitch in Eden recently where I got tossed really high above the diamond after I died for a bit, and from what I can tell it does in fact look like the beam is coming from the diamond rather than around it. Let me grab a picture

#

The first picture shows the bottom/below the diamond the best, while the last one shows the top the most. As you can see, there’s no beam underneath the diamond, but there is one coming out of it

We don’t know how exactly they all died yet, but it was definitely because of the disaster, directly or indirectly. The wildlife isn’t as plentiful as it used to be — we know that from some of the shattering memories that are absolutely filled with creatures — but they came back easier because they’re born easier. You can see birds just kinda manifesting out of light sometimes; although we don’t have tons of light creature lore, something along those lines was probably involved

(sorry for my dumb questions) so then once they were killed and find their "bodies" encrusted in darkness, us lighting them frees them from the darkness so they can then ascend properly once we go through eden ?

also just realized that after the several times i went to eden we did not simply wake up on the ground at home space, we were ascended to orbit became stars once again then fell to the world. this makes me think about some of the theories that maybe some time went by before we were born again and we also become one of the statues in eden and we need to wait for another sky kid to save us but bcus game mechanics and etc we dont have to wait that long. also add in the fact that we're dead and maybe time doesn't flow the way we're used to

i was thinking about the eden blast itself and how it killed the ancestors and i was curious how there aren’t really signs of a massive explosion/blast wave in the ruins of each realm! especially in the vault bc the ancestors there died inside and that place is physically the closest. the only physical evidence of massive destruction that i can think of is in eden itself! so to me that would mean that the shattering blast focused only on light/life maybe?

#

especially bc an explosion that large that reaches all the way to the isle would have much more of an impact on the terrain

lusty merlin
#

I mean wasteland and vault with starlight desert are well, deserts, the closest to eden so I think any dirt was turned to sand in a way. And with the rest of the realms so high up as seen with the decent into wasteland from valley they could’ve avoided the initial shockwave, either that or the eden explosion doesn’t follow the laws of physics for explosions irl

winter monolith
#

maybe! which makes me ask how the ancestors would’ve died if they were safe in the higher realms

lusty merlin
#

We got the shards, i wouldn’t put it past that a couple accidents happened at a much frequent and rapid pace. the explosion could’ve ripped the kingdom apart so badly that the ancestors that did survive could’ve died out overtime. No guidance from the elders assuming they’re dead

#

Oh wait this remember me of the isle intro where it mentions “all is given breath by starlight” it would be cool if elders could give life to the ancestors, being their starlight. An extention of their hearts, if they die, their people die maybe.
They already ascend spirits to the stars, maybe they bring life to them in a way. Like an ancestor making a statue of their child and bringing it for the elder to bless them as the statue is brought to light. Could explain the lil cores in their chest, hardens starlight. Ancestors do seem to have a shell on them before we light them uppWow ofcorse that’s probably not the caseSkyLOL probably brain rotting to hard but it’s a cool idea to think about how connected elders and ancestors could be

Speaking of Eden, with the 2 or so times I've actually done a run so far there, I've seen what seems like a castle of some sorts after death we see on the way up floating on a huge rock, but seemingly never actually fly to, only past. And it feels like the true key to all the mysteries is in that thing, if we could actually enter it/get to it pre-death.

#

Especially since it seems like the kind of thing you'd find an elder inside, like the others.

#

Honestly, that would be extremely cool, if via convoluted shenanigans the devs set it so someone who is active/skilled enough is chosen to be the one who can actually breach the invisible wall near that diamond thing, and it basically yeets them all the way up to that castle thing itself. Letting them enter it, and being able to see the Eden elder in their true form there reveal the full truth of how things got so bad and other mysteries revealed that could either be grand, or paint the elders in a much worse light based on what is shown. Leaving the player who finally gets all this info to have a choice in-game to either let the world know the truth of what all happened and lower the Eden castle down onto the diamond for all to explore it, or bury it forever sealing the Eden castle and having it lift up to the stars to vanish forever.

#

And no matter which happens, the devs have it be the canon next part of the lore.

The animation project and its teaser is almost definitely canon! In fact, it aligns with a story we already know to have happened in Sky, but we don’t have much information on yet. Two of the ancestors that appear in it are even the refusing voyager and ushering stargazer spirits.

We don’t know when it’s coming out, though, sadly.

There’s also another animation which you might be referring to — the switch trailer. This one’s position in canon is much more debatable, though.

keen shore
# potent maple What's the big Dimond in eden?

It’s darkstone! Darkstone is a crystal-like material that holds light and uses it for energy; you may recognize it the most as the blue-gray rock you hold your candle to to open doors and start up mechanisms throughout the realms.

Due to a currently unknown event, the Eden Diamond changed from simply accepting light to use passively when it was given to sucking in light from everywhere it could and spewing it out in the form of the massive beam you can see throughout the realms.

#

The Diamond was put there for one of two reasons. Unfortunately we don’t know which yet. However the first option is slightly likelier.

  1. the natural beam, which was very important for ascending creatures, went out a while before the diamond exploded and kickstarted the disaster. The diamond was an attempt at bringing it, or something like it back, that failed.
  2. the diamond was placed over the beam to harness its energy due to it being the brightest light source in all the realms. However, it got overloaded and soon exploded

#

Ok it’s really long and convoluted so bear with me;

It came from how WL are called ‘lost memories’ during the new intro. That has a lot of implications, but my first thought was “does this mean during PNR when we’re saving skykids we’re ripping out our own memories to free them?”

I think this is true, but it led to a thought. What if the kid we hug in limbo is our own memories?

#

Think about it — they’re shaped exactly like us, they seem to anticipate what we’re going to do before we do it, and after we merge with them, we become the brightest version of ourself we can possibly be. (I will explain this in a moment) They’re definitely not a normal WL; they have a consciousness and mind of their own, and they’re an intricate part of us.

#

#

Before you hug them, you are quite literally a shell of your former self. After you do so, you become a shining silhouette of basically exactly who you were before you ventured into Eden — your cosmetics, the thing most skykids would logically rely on to distinguish one another and express their identity, have returned to you.The light the kid you hug gives you seems like an intrinsic part of yourself you’re getting back.

When you’re returned to one another, you glow brighter than they ever did, and more than that… you’re you.

And it would fit with sky’s themes!! You sacrifice light to help other skykids like you, and when you succumb to the diamond it’s your turn to fly with the other statues when you reunite. You hug yourself because your you, becoming one again and pushing through the darkness because you see the light at the end of the tunnel

The most extreme form of self love /jSkyLOL

#

STOP MY HEART 😭

keen shore
#

It has a lot of really emotional implications too.

Like… if WL are lost memories of our past, we’ve slowly been gathering the recollections of who we used to be as we journey through the realms. It’s no doubt been a struggle collecting them all, and coming to terms with whatever knowledge of our pasts they give us — I can only imagine how much a skykid, who woke up disoriented on a desolate beach with only the memories of a distant mountain in their mind and surrounded by ghosts, having lost almost all their memory of their past, would value them upon their return.

But once we get to PNR and realize giving those WL away are the only way to save other skykids— we value others more. We put them above the part of ourselves we value even above our own life. We tear each WL away the first time knowing we might not be able to get them back; that even if we survive this, they might be lost forever. We’d never fully remember who we were. Even if we tracked down and gathered more memories, there would still be massive chunks of it lost to us, embedded within other skykid’s petrified shells as an effort to save them. Our skykid goes through their entire first Eden run convinced they’ll never get them back.

But then they get to limbo… and they do.

#

All those memories that they’d had to collect, that they valued so much despite their disjointed and confusing nature, finally make perfect sense. They remember everything. The puzzle falls into place and, for the first time ever, our skykid comprehends completely and fully who they are and how they ended up here.

NOT ONLY THAT but this actually fits really really well with what we know about how the Eden Diamond works so far.

It’s commonly theorized that Limbo takes place within the Eden Diamond itself; the beam coming from within the diamond all but confirms this. The shattering memories also tell us that memories can be imprinted inside the diamond so long as they’re made of light. With this knowledge, as well as the theory that the elders are also trapped within the diamond, it’s not unreasonable to assume the same thing happened to who or whatever we used to be:

We got sucked in during the moment of shattering just like all the others. An imprint got made of us at that time similar to the shattering memories, and that’s the kid, who contains all our memories up to that point. Unlike the creatures in those memories, though, we survive. And unlike the elders, we manage to escape somehow — maybe we got spit out in the beam. But darkness splits apart and erodes light to use it for energy, so we leave in pieces. The largest pieces become skykids. The smallest pieces of our memory, too small to become anything on their own, enter the Eden beam and are dispersed across the realms in tiny fragments of light shaped like our imprint. (They’re exactly ‘imprints of the children of light.’)

And that’s how you get WL.

This is the storylime which is intriguing me now... a light/star could shatter creating many lesser lights. It is mentioning a Star creating many others in the blue night sky, but maybe it's not meaning that light went extinguished in the process

This plus the similarity I was pointing out earlier with WL mural and Aurora Wings... is hitching my mind.. maybe the WLs could be lesser lights generated, if not from Aurora herself, from another elder light

Not really with my idea, actually. Think of WL kind of like shards— they got sucked into the beam and fell everywhere, forming into their shape when they hit the ground like we do!

The way you’re writing this also does kind of imply that whoever our skykid used to be was around post disaster (if I’m reading this correctly) and that they’d already discovered seasonal areas but forgot about them, which I don’t think is true. When we as players wake up for the first time coincides with the first time our skykid has seen the post disaster world, ever.

From the new intro:
*At last, you return to this world. Remember, Child —
your light is a gift.
All are given breath by starlight.
The first of us lived in joy that we would one day return to the stars.
Together, we built a Kingdom in the clouds.
We connected the seven realms with the power of starlight.
But then the sky went dark, and our Kingdom shattered.
Many of us are still trapped in these realms.

Please, Child… Bring your light to our fallen spirits.*

The way it’s written implies that this is our skykid’s first time showing up after the disaster, hence why everyone needs to be saved this time around to begin with, rather than it already happening.

But some concepts can still be slightly relevant. For example when people were excited for the laser turrets statues of king I was sceptical... Till the last Prophecy mural pointing in that direction

Yeah but the way concept art changed so drastically in so many ways, it’s best to only take it into consideration if the stuff in the game can back it up, and it rarely does

I like to think the constellation table symbol is a stylized map of the realms, representing the kingdom, with Valley being the capital! It’s not exactly perfect, but that’s why it’s stylized

I feel it's unfair to say Sky isn't getting lore, lately we've been fed pretty well with Flight (and mayhaps its link to Enchantment), Abyss (ruins of light creature experimentation in person !), Performance (and the tidbit with the tale about stars falling from the sky and unattended children in the desert) and Shattering (and the poems which I agree should be more accessible). Aurora is a collab season but it still showcases the kingdom of the past as well as giving us another viewpoint over things like the mines in Forest or the war in Wasteland !

Lol, I forgot lorechat came up with that soup shish sortof analogy

spring python
#

Just the single moment in Aurora’s The Seed near the end when they zoom it at the Wasteland gate’s temple was already enough to get me wondering why there was a battle focus there, were they focusing on Vault? Or were they focusing on Eden which is accessible through Vault? And Why? Why do they want to enter there? Who is in the side of the ones who want to enter it? Did they succeed or did they fail?

Like you can get a lot going from a single scene, you just have to look a little further

# rigid mural salem your mind, i always thought of it as a leftover from LA where isle was at ...

Thank you pCry It could be!! The isolated one could be Isle or Eden, it’s kind of up in the air. Depends on if you think Isle growing apart from the other realms was a thing that happened or not; I do but not in a solid exile way and it’s mostly headcanon than anything with fact.

I can definitely see Eden being symbolically set apart, not only because it’s where we both start and end, but it’s also really important to the ancestors. It was likely the holiest place in their kingdom, it was the brightest light source within it, it’s the only realm who had an elder that wasn’t really an elder…

Eden would be unique in a LOT of ways to the ancestors and/or elders who designed the symbol before the disaster, it makes sense that it would be the one set apart instead of Isle! Possibly to designate importance as well as uniqueness

boreal nebula
#

Mine usage a minute ago seems just dumb now in comparison to that unifying theory xD

rigid mural
lusty merlin
#

HELPPP

#

HELP YEAH

i also think it being a stylized map makes a lot of sense because it’s where we call the spirits of each realm down… I gotta check but imagine if the tail at the end points towards Eden in homespace

It’s also really sweet because it resembles how constellations are rendered in murals. If every elder is a star, the kingdom is a constellation

# boreal nebula What kind kf parallels between TLP and Shattering? <:SkyThink:632652199931150336...

OK OK OK See the sneezing geographer memory ? As you relive it, illustrations appear on the book. I don't have the picture on hand but at some point, Geographer seems to look at Eden; the illustrations that appear then are of the mountain with stars, then of that same mountain but with something shining atop it & being surrounded by mantas.
Jellyfish and crab memory poems in shattering imply creatures were lured to their demise by a very bright light.

# untold notch I'm probably late but flight is connected to enchantment?

I link the two because the Enchantment murals depict the ark falling following a storm; and on the 4th quest, lightning can be heard (along with krill sounds) as rocks fly out of the ark entrance into the wind paths.

I think this is an echo (ie: the event happens in the present but reflects something that happened in the past) of how the wind paths closed as they became too dangerous to navigate; it's possible that the storm that caused this also caused the crash of the ark imo.

# boreal nebula Reposting one of the last times my lore-mind was enough intrigued to give birth ...

I believe that old symbol with one branch on the bottom and 5 on the top is a remnant from the Aviary era of Light Awaits, since back then you started in Isle and went to the Aviary, which connected to the other 5 realms in a similar manner to what that symbol depicts
And as we know, after global launch, TGC rarely updates old content to match with the modern version of the game, with very few exceptions. Something minor like that old constellation symbol would likely go under the radar for them

Now in Season of Remembrance, we go deeper into Sky's lore. Journey alongside Spirits who lived through eras of turmoil to press on and rebuild together.

RIGHT i think that, like the flight ult pants to Prairie elder, the questgiver's stole is meant to make their garb look like Vault elder's, especially since they have a mask meant to emulate theirs !
Stoles are most commonly associated with the catholicc clergy, but they're also significant to students graduating as a sign of honor, which would fit the realm since it's meant to be a giant library.
TL;DR: I think Remembrance guide is Vault elder's apprentice.
