SKID GAMES‼️

[brisk python]

wwe but sky

sky: wrestle mania

[sharp lichen]

After the Calamity has no skykids in it

...but i can surely wire a friend

@marble lynx Hey, out of all the characters you've created, which one would do best in a violence pit?

[pastel brook]

🧠

[brisk python]

it's gaining sentience......

[austere folio]

Yo, lore people. I want (would like) ideas. I feel like there’s an opposite to SkyKids in the lore, because what universe has a majority made of creatures of good? So, if SkyKids are the light, then what is the darkness? The obvious answer is Eden, Krills, etc. But those aren’t as small as the SkyKids and they can’t go everywhere the SkyKids can.

If the SkyKids are the stars, then what would be the black holes? (Or whatever the opposite of a star is)

[balmy spoke]

Perhaps the barron rocky planets you see ||in the credits||, maybe light has not "touched" those, the smaller ones in the princes though, light has touched those.

[sharp lichen]

Shards. They can go anywhere, are in various sizes, and fall from the sky

[austere folio]

But shards aren’t sentient, unless you count the crabs

[balmy spoke]

Shards don't seem to be a source of darkness, thay are just a part, a fragment from something else..

By source i mean something had to create a shard, or whatever it comes from

[austere folio]

Shards bring darkness with them, and look like ||fragments of the eden diamond|| getting blasted off

[balmy spoke]

Rather than its mechanic of spreading darkness

[balmy spoke]

We see the red rock a lot in eden, saps light, any location it's present in before eden? I don't recall any.

[austere folio]

Excluding the shards event themselves, they aren’t present outside of Eden.

[sharp lichen]

Then i say the Void of Shattering/Shattering Guide. Sentient, as small as a Skykid, and has a diamond inside just like us

[austere folio]

Wait there’s a guide for it? Isn’t the guide just a Diamond looking thing? Wait. The guides are sentient in some way. And the Diamond guide looking thing does bring us to past memories

[sharp lichen]

I made a funny video about that diamondo, mind if I dm it?

[balmy spoke]

The ||white spirit in the zone of death, inside you is darkness, but inside something else, something parallel, is light.. combine them you get reborn maybe it too gets reborn||

[austere folio]

||that white spirit child thing haunts me, why is there two beings inside of a skykid||

OH MY GOD THAT GAVE ME AN IDEA

[sharp lichen]

||You know what else is odd? Why there's 2 figures hugging but it only counts as one WL||

[balmy spoke]

A skykid may be the greatest creation the ancestors made, an equal balance of light and darkness.

[sharp lichen]

What parts of darkness do Skykids have?

[balmy spoke]

We grow darkness rocks on ourselves when our light fades

There is darkness inside of us, we suppress it with our light, someone elses*

[halcyon hull]

There was a reflection on the fact that Eden diamond is a black hole

[sharp lichen]

But that's due to external factors not something we can control @balmy spoke
It could be the other way around: we use someone else's light to supress darkness from outside
shameless video plug: #promote-your-sky-content message

[balmy spoke]

Thats why that other exists, otherwise, we couldn't gain our light back, ||ain't no lit candles in the afterlife ||

[sharp lichen]

Wait you may actually be right, after all when you lose all your light in darkness you become a gray shell

[balmy spoke]

Maybe we are the creatures of darkness... Oh, hmm that would be quite the turn over wouldn't it

[halcyon hull]

I like to think what skykids are neutral creatures but just very friendly

[balmy spoke]

Probably more likely to be the case, after all its the combo of light and darkness from what i can gather

[rigid mural]

Concept art had skykids be a mix of ancestors (at the time aligned with darkness) and creatures (aligned with light), had both warm and cool colors to show it

[austere folio]

[balmy spoke]

Then its good that some of the same conclusion can be drawn by someone who's never seen said art

[floral skiff]

How alive are the sky kids?

[balmy spoke]

Enough to feel pain

[floral skiff]

Would ancestors look more like us when they were alive?

[balmy spoke]

I think it's the other way around, we look more like them, we copy and play with their cosmetics...

They had a way of aesthetic choices, but they couldn't fly with what they had, and most of there capes, grandma withstanding, have 1 flap if it could do anything...

[pearl jackal]

I think capes are just things they used to cover up like a big blanket or an overcoat

[rigid mural]

Yeah, the ancestor cape star appeared some time during Abyss I think ? It's either a bug or a feature to visualize what the wedges look like on it.

[pearl jackal]

I think its more simple and just like a model thing since its troublesome making 2 of the same thing with one thing taken off

[frigid tinsel]

the stars on ancestor capes appeared in an update where the devs stated they fixed a bug with stars on skykid capes... instead they introduced another bug

[rigid mural]

The Sky bugs jenga tower

[balmy spoke]

Aye, plus none of them have been shown to fly, and the cape star is always dim, we can brush it aside as a bug, it's a visual thing, even though grandma sure has a fair few pips, deserves them too hehe.

[rigid mural]

Crab Whisperer during Days of Bloom last year seemed to have a slowed down fall

[frigid tinsel]

Crab Whisperer is the exception, not the rule 👌

[marble lynx]

Somir?

[random token]

Re reading the things about darkness, a sickness is actually a good idea to what happened to them

[sharp lichen]

yeah probably

[winter shale]

Hey! Does anyone have any headcanons about season of Remembrance?

[rigid mural]

I think the guide was an apprentice of the Vault Elder !

[random token]

I HC / theorize that the child's parent was either drafted or arrested, and that bereft veteran and wounded warrior were on opposing sides. Though I think that's true?

I haven't done the second quest yet so I'm not sure what changed

[tepid veldt]

i hc that veteran, tea brewer, and warrior all lost people they held dear/took care of, so child is their new person to take care of. child doesnt entirely like this however since none of it is exactly how their parent did it

[untold notch]

the ultimate soup

[native shard]

did a civil war happened in the sky world? I saw the warrior fighting another warrior when I relive his spirit. 😭

[tepid veldt]

i feel the need to point out we can now hug bereft veteran.

will post my observations from this quest later, eating rn

[halcyon hull]

HC what Person in Pleading child memories (the one which were playing with them ofc) is their older sibling

[round parrot]

HC that the spirit manta in the Refuge is there for Pleading Child's manta rider needs

[random token]

That's a widely accepted theory yeah

[tepid veldt]

the pictures didnt sync properly so no observations for now

[shrewd zenith]

Y'all you can actually see the oil-like pollution in Golden Wasteland water in areas where there is enough light like past the graveyard. I think that has implications for the form of pollution present in Sky. I can't replicate the effect at other bodies of water either

[random token]

Darkwater sludge 🤢

[shrewd zenith]

It only happens when you have the camera at a certain angle

[lean kayak]

Yummy yummy in my tummy

[tepid veldt]

just kidding! hopefully this makes sense. here we go!

tea brewer’s quest requires you to travel outside of the repository of refuge to retrieve the memory lanterns (what they yearn for that has been lost.) their lanterns can be found on the ground floor of the vault of knowledge. there have been other lantern clusters on other levels of the vault.

going with vela’s vault theory (as you ascend you get higher literally and figuratively) what if, as we ascend higher to find memory lanterns, what if the spirits that correspond to those memory lanterns are increasingly resistant to letting go to the past?

bereft veteran’s memories are underground. they are the closest to reality—they understand that their kid is gone and they cant do anything about it.

tea brewer’s memories are on the ground floor. theyve accepted it but feel like they couldve done something more. their patient died because of their decision.

wounded warrior’s quest seems to be next. the next memory lantern cluster is on the second floor of the vault. here we get a little desperate—warrior probably knows deep down they cant do anything but they still try.

child is last. i havent actually found any more lantern clusters. theyre the most resistant to change—the person in their memory was a huge part of their life beforehand. they still believe that theyre out there, somewhere. and being a child, it makes sense—they cling on to things they hold dear.

[halcyon hull]

a bit off topic but
tried to translate it due to my not really good knowledge of English
and the translator called the tea brewer a beer brewer

[random token]

That's very nice to read

[turbid isle]

Is there a background behind the tuna king ?

[untold notch]

those are whales and I think they're just like that?

[random token]

They big. I have a HC theory that the leviathan in the abyss area is a corrupted whale because the corrupted darkness can change creatures' forms

[keen shore]

I really like this idea! It’s heartbreaking and makes a lot of sense… I wonder if the final quest will be about the guide, and if so, if theirs will follow the same pattern you’ve outlined here

[keen shore]

Simple, both people hugging count as the lost memory of one person who remembers both sides of it.

[untold notch]

memories are weird

[pastel brook]

What is Skykid hair made of? Is it candle wax? 🕯️

[sharp lichen]

I think it’s one person split into two

[keen shore]

Yeah, and the scene in limbo is us becoming one again

[pastel brook]

just chillin, waiting to hear something cool

[untold notch]

contract hypothermia 💖

[sharp lichen]

I had a whole video about this

[keen shore]

I have a theory on it myself too

[sharp lichen]

Long story short, I think Winged Light are the memories of the King/Prince/Eden Elder/Alef/Resh/Chosen One. We need a better name for that btw.

There are some odd stuff: what about the WL in the Ancient memories? Do you think they literally rode on top of the mantas?

It’s odd, because the final Shattering memory depicts an event that clearly parallels an actual thing that happens in Sky, but the other memories have WL in ridiculous places.

[half shadow]

I’ve kind of taken to calling the figure the First One or the First Skykid or just using King in context

[austere bridge]

my interpretation of what winged light are is just strong memories of creatures of light. not necessarily one creature or another. so the ones in memories are just strong memories of the creatures.
the ones throughout sky in general can have similar arguments made.

[random token]

WL are just memories correct?

[austere bridge]

yea. isle intro calls them lost memories.

[random token]

Like a "we've been here before" deal, I like to think. It's just us

[austere bridge]

ooh ok! but so many ideas just make it hard for the shard memories… unless at least one skykid was in them before?

[half shadow]

I agree with you on this one! I think that this is the easiest explanation. Someone else here brought up how some WLs are moreso places for an interesting player challenge so I think a majority of the more oddly located ones can be chalked up to that

[random token]

Maybe, maybe. This could not be the first time they've sent down children of light. Maybe we appeared before everything ended. Like we were observing them?

[half shadow]

I think that the chosen one was the first Skykid

We don’t really have any knowledge on if there was any others but seeing as how the figure in the winged lights is the same consistent height I think it indicates it being the same person

[sharp lichen]

Expectation: “Finally, I’ve made a conclusive name for this figure. Everyone can use First Skykid”

Reality: “Now we have 8 names instead of 7 to refer to the same person”

[half shadow]

YUP LOL. honestly i think just using the King or Chosen One depending on context makes the most sense so that’s what I tend to do

[random token]

Oh you guys are talking about Gerald? /j

[sharp lichen]

Jorm the Worm, or Leviathan, or king krill, or big one, or 400 other names

[keen shore]

Gotta have a bunch of backup names in case a fae tricks you somehow, yknow

[lucid egret]

Gosh darn it fae rules, now I can’t remember the right moniker for uhhhh. Who was I talking about?

[sterile orchid]

What does that mean Fae steal names?

[lucid egret]

Never give your name to the fae, they steal names, always say “I will not give my name, but you may call me X”

[sharp lichen]

Even Fae itself has a million ways to spell it

[keen shore]

That was me, I believe! With very few debatable exceptions, this holds true for most WL. Some of them might also be placed where it’s easiest for a first time player to find them — think the two ones you find first in Isle — although, coincidentally, the second of those two is one you could debate to be an actual “lore based” (for lack of a better term) location

The WL I have written down as ones you could reasonably debate were placed there for lore reasons are: the one at the top of the stone staircase in Isle, every WL at the end of the trials, the one(s) in the last shattering memory, and the ones in the hallway entering PNR.

There might be more, as these are just off the top of my head

[random token]

Fae, fairy, little tricksters

[untold notch]

isn't the amount of wl in the base realms exactly enough for 7 wings

[half shadow]

i think is yeah!

i personally feel like there could be more examples of them being placed, maybe not for intentional lore reasoning but what could make sense as well just going off of the idea they are memories and the Chosen One likely traveled their way up the mountain or could have visited many other places throughout the kingdom during their rule

[untold notch]

sounds like a reason to post this one again

what were they cooking...

[random token]

Maybe once staring out into a pretty ocean

[tepid veldt]

if we get remembrance guide vault elder interactions i will scream

[shrewd zenith]

Once again being fascinated by diving in places I haven't dived before, is there more to sanctuary??? cause I think there might be either a boat or a decrepit building in the underwater trench

[frigid tinsel]

I see winged light as like skykid desire paths – the more skykids that pass through area, experiencing the emotions that place invokes, a winged light will manifest there. knowing a winged light will show up there, more skykids come to that area, making it more likely for a winged light to pop up again and again

[languid island]

is there an agreement on the meaning of the words of the end song? Or has there been any attempts to translate it. I made sn attempt yesterday:
Men o mori e ra
Foto o pala
I su ro wa ho ri e
Lo su ron
Mei mo me ho tera
Foto ols meh
Ni ku o ni ku mo su ro

Remember the time
When light was protecting us,
We were sure that we'd learn,
In the long run,
to memorize it all,
But as the light grew old we stopped caring,
Now we are not sure of anything

[frigid tinsel]

It’s sang in Aurora’s “emotional language,” which has no possible translation

[cold sparrow]

I wonder if it's a mix of languages like Journey's credit song

[brisk python]

aurora's emotional language makes me so emotional

[pastel brook]

bruh...

[atomic lava]

WAIT WHAT

[tepid veldt]

psst may i have a quick refresher on what wl could be?

[atomic lava]

ik theres a thought that its fallen starlight from megabird like in the concept arts it shows the light falling and us returning it, in a cycle
we dont know for sure though

[sharp lichen]

My theory is that they’re the past experiences of the first Skykid (King?) meant to guide us

It’s notable that Wing Buffs (which cost Ascended Candles) serve a very similar purpose to Winged Light, so they may be connected

[cobalt palm]

So I noticed in the rememberance memories that it is hard to determine which side the soldiers are fighting on based on any clothing, though the soldier in the memory is unique, their colleague has almost identical clothes to their adversaries.
Which means we don't know if those in the teabrewers memories, child's memories, or even the veterans own son (speculation) and soldier telling of the loss are all on the same side, or different, or even that there are only 2 sides at all.

[halcyon hull]

there is a question
How did they even distinguish who was on which side?

[cobalt palm]

Was it even really like that, or were the memories of the spirits so wrapped up in their own troubles that the adversaries became a blur in "the war", so any soldier ended up looking like any other

[lusty merlin]

There’s sun and diamond shields so I assume it’s from that

Wounded warriors comrade had a si sheild in the memory so I assume warrior was on the sun side (which is also the side is on as they also have a sun sheild)

[lusty merlin]

I Can see that! Having to fight in a war for so long I can see the opposing team just blending and blurring together

[cobalt palm]

I'm not sure if we have any presidence for "unreliable narrator" in spirit memories, but if they are only memories, it could be they are tainted by memory loss too

Why else would the spirits want to preserve memories in containers if spirits could hold perfect recollections themselves?

[lusty merlin]

Could you be more clear on the unreliable narrator part? I just thought it was showing the actual memories with nothing of memory loss happening.

[cobalt palm]

That could also extend to "could a memory jar be fabricated" to show a falsehood or propaganda in favour or against another party

[cobalt palm]

In that, I'm wondering if like our memories are how we remember things, they are from our point of view, and so could be completely different to how someone else relates the events.

[lusty merlin]

To me i assumed it started because of the war and the ancestors wanted to pass down memories to the other ancestors that survived, I forgot which friend mention this but the memory lanterns could also be a sort of photo album in a way

[lusty merlin]

Yeah I can see that, idk which part would be unreliable though, I mean the war affected all the rememberance spirits that’s clear as day, if you flipped it around to the other ancestors you’d either get ones taking away a child’s parent, attacked out of nowhere, and fighting the opossing side

[cobalt palm]

As an example, a study showed that people doing an activity generally blamed failure on circumstance, whereas observers blamed the person doing the action. Its known as Actor-observer bias.
E. G. the soldiers story starts that they were attacked by another group of soldiers and repelled them. The fault being with this second group.

However from that second group of soldiers, if we saw their memories, would it start with an attack on them from our protagonist for an earlier incursion?

If we were to be able to get an outside purely objective view, it could be just a stage of escalations, a minor attack leads to revenge, leads to bigger attacks, etc.

[half shadow]

I mean, we don’t know. we only have the information we’ve seen so far. I would argue however that there isn’t any real justified reason for a child’s parent to get taken away from them and leave them alone

[lusty merlin]

I don’t really get the point your trying to make sorry

And I mean that’s how a war works? Both sides fight eachother for their own reasons, even if both sides concider the other bad and see themselves as good. If we saw the pov of the soldiers that attacked warrior would we see it in a different light? Honestly I wouldn’t cuz they legit attacked warrior when they were buying flowers

Agreeing with fish, same for pleading parent, there’s no proof pleading child’s parent was a spy either, and if they were then I don’t know how that can be revealed in their quest when the time comes (like considering the structure of the quests)

[cobalt palm]

Unless they were perceived as a spy perhaps

[half shadow]

i mean that could be a reason why they were taken away. we just don’t know. i don’t think us simply not knowing why the parent was taken away counts as the child’s memory being unreliable or something like that

[cobalt palm]

Not really trying to make a point, more floating in the tank of ideas that popped into my head to see what anyone else thought.

But on the attack when they were buying flowers, we don't know that the protagonist didn't attack them in a similar position before, their memory starts.

[half shadow]

i still wouldn’t really count that as unreliable narration tbh. it’s not like the WW’s memory was lying to us or anything, we just don’t know the full context

[cobalt palm]

By unreliable, I didn't mean those things didn't happen, just that we don't get the full context from both sides as to why they happened.

[lusty merlin]

Yeah but with how the quests for veteran and tea brewer see structured I doubt we’ll get confirmation on that if it’s even true.

Plus isint attacking civilians (the florist for example ) a literal war crime too?

[cobalt palm]

Also about the uniforms all looking the same, which is strange to me, and I can't work out.

[half shadow]

yeah that’s something we discuss fairly frequently. there’s even debate on if there are even two discernible sides and how to identify them

[lusty merlin]

Game limitations exist, I don’t think they’re gonna make 3 brand new charaters with new never seen before costum cosmetics if they aren’t the main charater in the memory (would also take focus away from wounded warrior too)

[half shadow]

A lot of the clothing the spirits wear have triangular or diamond shape insignias on them. I was thinking about how to identify the soldiers based on the fact they are wearing diamonds but then I noticed pretty much every spirit has diamonds/triangles on their clothing, especially the default non-customized spirits, so it’s sort of hard

[frigid tinsel]

perhaps instead of unreliable narrator, which has the connotation of lying, their memories are just missing context? they're true as much as the spirit recalls it and if that spirit was missing information surrounding what was going on, they're simply ignorant?

imo not everyone is going to have an objective omniscient understanding of their own situation, much less the perspectives of the others involved.

(note I do know that not all unreliable narrators are inherently liars but that is an association the term has)

[cobalt palm]

Also a very good point, but this is lore speculation

[half shadow]

what is very interesting to me is that WW very clearly has a symbol on their chest that looks more like the star-shaped symbol we associate with the King’s head

[lusty merlin]

It just reminds me more of a star imo minus the king implications, they would’ve fit more then on the diamond side more but from their memory their on the sun side

[untold notch]

uniforms have a tendency to do that I think

[lusty merlin]

Yeah speaking of uniforms it also could’ve been the universal uniform too. could argue why warrior’s comrade doesn’t have the same one then but that would mean adjusting the pants to fit onto an entirely different model itself when they can just make them blend in and keep focus on warrior

[austere bridge]

I mean, they’re called uniforms for a reason

[cobalt palm]

I was thinking more of how you tell a friend from enemy in battle, as generally in hand to hand combat, though they did like their spears, you would need a banner or some distinction to tell you were fighting the right people

Melees can get very confusing very quickly

[random token]

Oh oh we talking about uniforms?

[half shadow]

If we go along with the theory that the war had two sides: Those who had Suns on their shields and those who used a Diamond symbol, then WW’s memory is strange. Considering how they are clothed with such a suspiciously king-shaped design front and center (and the assumption that the Diamond = side of the King), yet they then have their comrade brandishing a Sun symbol shield. I know this is one reason why some people don’t believe the Sun/Diamond signs represent actual opposing factions in the war.

Another possible theory that I had though was that the WW defected. Their clothing is in tatters in their memory already. They could have been clothed differently to show them in the past like how the Vet initially is, but they didn’t. The memory could then be as follows: A defected member of the Diamond side allied themselves with the Sun side. After a fight them and their comrade return to purchase flowers as a celebration. They are then spotted by Diamond forces who recognize WW as a trainer, hence why they attack.

[cobalt palm]

Ooh interesting spin, so they are literally a turncoat

[untold notch]

it's hard to say, the war is definitely a civil war between the halves of the golden valley

[random token]

I think we by chance could've messed up which side is which. Sun Side could be more closely related with the King. In WW memory, my friend and I theorized that maybe they celebrated a cease in the war/fighting too early. Or were simply hiding/sneaking the other in.

[half shadow]

could be! but i feel like the diamond symbol is just so heavily associated with the king personally

[random token]

I'm personally split with much new information being given, and valid theories

[lusty merlin]

I just think it’s to define who’s memory it is honestly, builders one have a bald ancestor, prophets also have a bunch of ancestors with just the basegame hairstyles to define them. Or slouch having very simple renditions of ancestors that look simple compared to the seasonal spirit.

Somtimes seasonal memeories include other ancestors that we definitely know, but that’s done purposeful to imply a connection or reference if the time and setting is right. (Think of mellow and twirling’s)

I’m trying to imply that just because most ancestors look the same in warriors memory, it doesn’t mean it was hard for them to tell who was who in battle. If you think of crowd illustrations the main focus/charater in said drawing “stands out” from the crowd to bring attention to them, it’s a common thing I see when it comes to storytelling

Like it’s not their memory it’s warriors memory

[cobalt palm]

I think it's a bit clearer in the artwork

[random token]

I strongly believe that there were two sides- It's hard for me not to. That symbol he's wearing does resemble the King better

As for the civilians being all diamond, maybe they were forced to wear that shape because Diamond side won, and the opposing side was wiped out?

[cobalt palm]

Also notice, they appear to be in a prison in the art

[half shadow]

I see that symbol on their cloak and immediately think of the king’s head/mask and the large statues resembling it in the Wasteland. If anybody has any chosen one mural images on hand they’re often depicted with a starlike shape radiating out from their head like a halo as well

[random token]

Put there by who though? And when were they sitting there? Strange

[half shadow]

i wanna see the other full art pieces now smh

[random token]

Free WW he didnt do nun 😔

[half shadow]

speaking metaphorically here it could be or indicate they feel as if they should be punished for a crime they fell they’ve done which would fit into them being a member of the King’s side pretty nicely but i don’t think we actually know what those rooms in the repository were used for. they don’t really look like jail cells to me

[cobalt palm]

OK so going down the traitor route, he was defeated by the sun shields, and turned to join them.
Was then spotted by diamonders, but they repelled the diamonders, only to later get attacked along with the flower seller and got captured.
So got put in a diamond prison for being a traitor.

[random token]

Possibly manta cages. Or just regular jail cells with high bars.

[half shadow]

see but I have no idea why they would keep prisoners in the vault of knowledge, we haven’t seen any indication in other parts of the vault that could imply prisoners were once kept there or even living mantas

[sterile orchid]

The winged light location is behind bars

[random token]

They feel as though they're in prison and like fish said, think they deserve the punishment.

That is true, maybe he could've built it himself, an old manta cage being used for his sadness.

Also there's a wee manta in there

[half shadow]

yeah the WL is, there’s those weird bar parts but WW isn’t found enclosed in one of those just sort of nearby

[random token]

First part was to reply to someone else btw lol.

[cobalt palm]

I wonder if they are really rooms in the Repository, as from the outside the whole repository is floating in nothingness, so are they all memories of places the spirits knew.
A prison cell, a makeshift bedroom, etc.

[verbal widget]

we don’t know the motive for the war right? I don’t know a lot about the lore but could the conflict be environmental? like one side advocating for the use/refinement of dark stone and the other protesting it’s use and environmental impact?

[random token]

Oh like a combination of memories you’re thinking? I can see that

[half shadow]

Yeah I really wanna know what it looked like before it got all crumbly

[random token]

Environmental, resources, manta treatment, etc

[cobalt palm]

No, but the move from naturalistic stars/Megabird motifs to diamond/artificial stars is probably a pointer, as well as the huge exploding diamond in Eden

[half shadow]

yeah, considering that the darkstone was most likely empowered by draining Light from creatures like the manta, that’s a big reason for the war many of us in here think

[random token]

It’s just widely believed

[verbal widget]

okie good to know 🙂

[random token]

So can someone sum up what they think on the WW memories? I still think that they were friends during the war, just on opposing sides. And WW got caught on their turf.

[cobalt palm]

Yeah, though again I don't believe the vault is a "real place" at all, or at least, not anymore, maybe it once was

[random token]

I think part of it is real because of the memory cube storage, but a lot of the other places are just projections

[brisk python]

that's pretty much exactly what i think it is. two friends on opposite sides of the war, but they get caught and attacked for it

[cobalt palm]

Yeah, sorry, there was a place they stored memories, and it had a temple to 6 elders at the top/near the top, but the spirit manta, trees, and buildings are all projections of memories.
Say pretty much everything above the 2nd floor where the walls break away

Anyway, thanks all for lore-ing with me, time to sneep

[sharp jetty]

Question for Lore másters ^^, does anyone know if the big whale which is in hidden forest, golden wasteland and edén has an official name? 👀

[sharp lichen]

I think the King was on the Sun side, but not for the reason you may think.

We see two shields: one of the sun/light symbol and one of the Power Diamond. The former is more common: we see it in the Wasteland Elder’s shrine, and even in Eden we see a shield.

[sharp lichen]

The emote implies it’s just called a whale

[lusty merlin]

Nah they’re just called whales seen in the emoji name

And I wouldn’t call ourselves masters per say we’re just some folks interested in the story

[sharp lichen]

The only lore master is @pastel brook

[sharp jetty]

Ty

[austere bridge]

was thinking about the season again and
if the quest memories end up moving further up the vault, then pleading’s quests will be on the first floor in which we see cosmic mantas

[random token]

They deserve to be with the mantas tbh

[sterile orchid]

I think the Vault is literally just a tower, filled with the memories of everyone they could get - connected to the base of Eden at the top but not within the mountain
(supported by the map, kinda, Wasteland is close to sea level so it doesn't make sense that you go into Vault and suddenly you're inside a mountain that's only 4 stories higher at the base than the GW temple is, that's also visible from literally everywhere)

Everything past the second floor is dream-like, you're floating through what looks like actual space and seeing strange versions of mantas that don't seem like they could physically exist. The shrine at the Summit is for all of the elders, as if this is the last place people could see them - get some final advice or assurance from people they can all trust

Once the elder cutscene is over you're in an area that looks like a much smaller version of the first floor, with the elevator broken again, as if everything you just did didn't actually change anything, but it did - you're at the top, and somehow the elevator was broken again before you woke up (possibly the rumbling from Eden causing the diamond to fall again)

As for the actual space surrounding you I do agree that it's from projectors, or your sky kids mind is making up everything past the second floor because thats as far as they could see looking up through everything

Possibly even a memory projection of other sky kids making up the other floors

About Mantas they look so thin in terms of plane is it possible that in manta races it could damage them

[brisk python]

i had to use a mouse and i went off of memory of what the king was portrayed as asihasda

[minor latch]

hey i'm new to the lore theories and understand almost anything owo where can i find more explanations about the terms used?

[lusty merlin]

I mean we float when we’re on a manta

Ik sky tells the story of many things like war, pollution, even killing mantas to help with darkstone production, i don’t think tgc’s priority is promoting manta racing Can hurt them, they don’t even seem to be in pain

[halcyon hull]

I know I meant something like the development of diseases like scoliosis

[lusty merlin]

I don’t see any implications of that though, if that was possible then I think they would’ve implied manta racing is harmful somwhere ingame, or can lead to that

[halcyon hull]

Makes sense

Ah okay, maybe express that it’s a headcannon clearly next time cuz I thought you were stating it as a fact

[winter shale]

yeah sorry, forgot tone indicators haha :,))

[keen shore]

their character card mentions something about refusing to give advice anymore, so I’m thinking giving wrong advice is what got their friend killed. Which is interesting, because you don’t see that directly implied or stated in the memory, but it can put msome depth in there.

My attempt to tie this in would be something like… Wounded Warrior and their friend were defending a Wasteland village under threat of being taken over by the opposing side. Ultimately, they were able to fend off the first wave of attackers, and Warrior is confident that those attackers wouldn’t return and the villages defenses would hold. They go to celebrate, assuring their friends that they’re safe, but ultimately they’re wrong and their florist friend dies because of it.

This also might be why the spears came from above, because maybe the person hurling them is standing on top of the wall surrounding the village, having breached it.

I’m not 100% settled on this idea yet, because most of it is speculation trying to tie that one line from the card in and I suspect we’ll find out more during their quest, but yeah

[random token]

Ooh thats an interesting take on it!

Would you think that they were on the same side and not opposing? Could he just have forgotten what his friend looked like in that memory, or could just be a model to save time

[keen shore]

Do you mean the warrior and the florist, or them and their battle partner?

[random token]

Them and their battle partner

[keen shore]

Oh! Probably same side, then. If you look over during the first two nodes, you can see way across on another island people from the other side that they’re chasing off

[random token]

I’ll have to look at that. I never noticed!

[keen shore]

Yeah! It’s a struggle to see up close, especially if you’re doing the memory with other people, because often they move to the next node without giving you enough time to fly over and look at it

[pseudo trellis]

Hey, I was finally able to join this discord after my friend convinced me.
Can anyone give me a review of how it's like being in the lore chat? Cause it seems to get a bit aggressive sometimes and I'm a bit worried...

Sure! It’s a bit odd to send it here, so can we talk in dms?

[pseudo trellis]

That's fine by me

[frigid tinsel]

we're not aggressive – it's a common misunderstanding cos a lot of us here are autistic so our bluntness and enthusiasm is taken as hostility. honestly, if you like Sky lore and aren't a bigot, then you're welcome to vibe here

[untold notch]

[radiant cedar]

hey everyone!

[unreal cypress]

the end of eden when the dark child and the light child hug, that remind anyone else of how the krill search for creatures of light

in order to become a "full" being, the two sides must join in harmony, the dark seeking the light

[random token]

Nice way of looking at it

[radiant cedar]

i was reliving the tea brewer's memories today and noticed a tree that had what looked like mushrooms growing on it. it made me wonder where they had gone to harvest them, since much of what we see in the sky kingdom now is very different from those (living) memories then.

[random token]

Most likely grew the trees in a different realm than vault. Maybe old isle or golden valley, when it was still a valley. Because the memories we see are in a different place than vault

Salems typing

[keen shore]

The remembrance spirits seem at least implied to some degree to be from Wasteland. It would provide a good reason for why they had to seek shelter in Vault instead of going to Valley or any other realm. In Teabrewer’s memory, their town seems to be under siege, and since most of the war seems to have taken place within Wasteland, they’re probably from there.

That tree with the mushrooms is probably a form of native Wasteland wildlife that went extinct due to the combination of heavy pollution, environmental damage caused by warfare, and the disaster blocking out the sun

[untold notch]

rest in piece native mycosystem 🙏

[radiant cedar]

ah yes i think that makes sense! the guards/soldiers in the memory suggested it was wasteland. the tea spirit couldn't have risked going farther anyway since they were caring for a loved one who was ill

[sharp lichen]

Though, the war in Remembrance probably had far-reaching implications... there are signs there was something in Eden

[low spindle]

You get a shattering seal of approval for this

Why do you think Night is so short ☹️

[halcyon hull]

They died in summer

[bold trellis]

Am i allowed to discuss season lore here? 🤔

[tepid veldt]

go for it!

[bold trellis]

Maybe you all could help me understand but I'm super confused. I thought all the spirits are dead, so why does everything seem so sad? I assume they're trapped here bc of their tragedies, but aren't we helping them move on to be with their loved ones?

[lusty merlin]

Im low on words I’d like to think since spirits are supposed to ascend then maybe the war could’ve prevented that, or somthing else.

We see a lot of them still trapped so I assume the natural way of ascending was disrupted and somthing happened, even when death happens I do think they would still grieve, either that or death before eden exploded or somthing was differnt.

Now that I think about it, tea brewer coming back to their possible relative passing hints that maybe spirts couldn’t linger for some reason, maybe cuz it’s too dangerous from the war?

[untold notch]

grief has a tendency to stick with you, like the bitter echo of a dissonant chord

[tepid veldt]

that hit unnecessarily hard, thanks astral

[bold trellis]

Sorry if I'm responding to something unrelated to my question, but I completely agree with they would grieve. I guess I just really don't understand this world lol. I figured from the base game we have to relive important moments of a spirit to help them pass onto the stars. I understand that in this season maybe instead of building a treehouse or finding treasure, it's too help them process their grief.

I guess my confusion is, couldn't we reunite them with their passed loved ones? Maybe they're already in the stars waiting? Sorry trying to process with very little in game knowledge (just started about a month ago)

[frigid tinsel]

I've been thinking that with more darkness in the world, the likelier it was for spirits to petrify, so if spirits commonly descended or lingered in the world in the past, it was riskier during the later year of the kingdom. Eden and Wasteland would be where spirit petrification occurred more frequently, followed by Forest due to the darkness in the rain, but given there are petrified spirits in every realm, darkness was present everyone and would get spirits anywhere eventually.

if ancestors' living bodies protected their light within, spirits are vulnerable. they would want to stay alive because at least they had physical protection from darkness. in these later years, dying would entail a rush to ascend spirits or fearing darkness would petrify them – either way, this meant losing their loved ones

[lusty merlin]

Oh yeah I can see that

[untold notch]

thanks I tried to craft that sentence for maximum impact

[frigid tinsel]

a couple excerpts from Fealty that demonstrate my thoughts on that

[lusty merlin]

It’s alright, after pointing it out it made me think aswell

Maybe the spirts are tied in some way to their seasonal place, the recent seasons show them ascending up after finishing the last quest

Plus vault is kinda hard to get into, having to get through wasteland, keill, the gate, and trying to find a way into vault depending on how much you think spirits can interact with the living world.

Oh you know the troupe that ghosts usually have “unfinished business” hence why they’re not in the afterlife? I wonder for some seasonal spirits it’s like that

[lusty merlin]

FEALTY HELL YEAH

[bold trellis]

Thank you for the response! I understand this season is very heavy, but I just felt it was also hopeless. I was confused in giving a grieving parent a windchime when I could just point to the stars where I'm assuming his kid is. I thought maybe I just don't know enough of the game.

I think that's the best solution, that their unfinished business is grief. That's a great point of the other season spirits moving on at the end. I wish I could see them reunite with their loved ones.

[lusty merlin]

AUGH yeah, I don’t think they can even leave the vault though I’m guessing, or know where to begin to look for their kid in the sky. I assume the props we use had sentimental value to them, concidering veterans and tea brewers loved ones appear in the cutscenes after

[untold notch]

the vault does have a roof

[frigid tinsel]

it's also worth noting that the sky of the Vault isn't the night sky that goes into space.
it's complicated

[rigid mural]

I wanna point out both Vault seasons involved spirits tormented in a way that's too complex for skykids alone to fix that, maybe that's a theme of the realm

[tepid veldt]

sadness is vault’s brand

[frigid tinsel]

the Vault is said to represent old age, when you're so old that you've experienced much of the complexities of life from that sometimes things are unfair to oftentimes things are not as simple as thought in childhood. kids tend to struggle to grasp that complexity, lacking the experience and maturity to navigate it.

but children can still recognize sadness, anger, regret... as skykids, we give these spirits, who have undergone such traumatic losses, simple pleasantries. a wind chime or a teaset may not be able to absolve the spirits of their grief and anguish, but the little things can go rather far to assuage the pain for some time

[bold trellis]

Sorry i didn't mean literally pointing to the sky lol. I meant just like we do with the other spirits, we break them out of their darkness and they just kinda beam up lol.

I do feel content with the explanation of helping them process grief. I think that makes the most sense. 😊👍

[rigid mural]

I recall someone (I think it was Bea ?) saying that each realm had a theme for their seasons; citing Valley seasons all had you working with a group to make a performance, Wasteland ones had you look for lost things in ruins and Forest ones had you reopen pathways through the realm(s).

Maybe the Vault theme is exploring trauma too big for you to fix, giving you a taste of the overwhelming darkness you will face in the next realm...

I agree !
In the emotional curves from concept, the emotes are shown to illustrate the mood as well; prayer, telekinesis, polite stance and levitation, as well as cordial greeting, shushing, wise stance and thinking might reflect the more solemn environment (memory manta call is a bit obvious since that's their environment).

I see the Vault as being a kind of summary of your journey so far, with all the references to the previous realms as well as the elder literally showing up with all the others. Even the song playing during the cutscene is called "The Journey so Far", that and with it being where memories are stored... seems to be like, a conclusion to the story. Loose ends are tied, spirits all look like they are aware this is the end (advanced magic, solemn attitudes) and you're sent on your way to the end.

The Vault represents post-apocalypse on old timelines, and I headcanon the memories were stored here as both an effort to not vanish in darkness, and as a kind of golden record (like the irl one we sent to space) for those that come after.
The entire realm anticipates an end, you got spirits chained by their vices seemingly unaware of the outside world () and litteral refugees that are trying to survive in that shelter (Remembrance)...

I like to think it seems to disintegrate as you go further in because older folks have memories that get more and more fragmented.

[sterile orchid]

Does Isle or Prairie have a theme?

As far as I know there's only been one season for both areas specifically ( and ) so it's really hard to think about what it would be

[rigid mural]

Yeah that's why it's still only a theory and no one mentioned them

[sterile orchid]

Would be nice to have more creature-centered seasons like Sanctuary and I can only assume they would be in prairie

[halcyon hull]

[ebon burrow]

hi lore chat I was just wondering: have there been indications of trees in valley? excluding the bloom sapling maybe

[rigid mural]

There was performance concept art that had forests iirc, but aside from Aurora Coliseum having tree props, that's all we have.

[ebon burrow]

ahhh thank you!

[rigid mural]

From the Performance concept art blog post !

[frigid tinsel]

Huh, now that I think about it, there are no trees in Valley

[ebon burrow]

now my 2nd question:
why would yeti need duo axes when they live on a snowy mountain

[lusty merlin]

Thats for you to decide, make your own theories and ideas

[rigid mural]

Iirc Dreams spirits are retired performers, maybe they were an axe juggler ?

[halcyon hull]

we don't know what time he lived+I believe that in the fauna of the Sky there should be predators in addition to Dark creatures

[lusty merlin]

Yaya, i think it’s just that mountains in general don’t have trees the higher they go, could’ve also been chopped down to expand the city if they did exist before

[frigid tinsel]

Really high mountains tend to have sparser vegetation and the plants that do grow up there are hardy

[lusty merlin]

Oo i see! Might be the latter of what I mentioned above then to be the case

[lusty merlin]

Looking at the trees here it make me wonder if the leaves were chopped off on purpose? Idk if leaves are used for anything but the formation on most of them being mostly cilinders aside from a few stray branches is interesting

[rigid mural]

Maybe to fit with the trees in Forest ? I had a headcanon they're like that because of a past forest fire...

[sterile orchid]

The trees in this game seem more like pillars that hold up the clouds rather than trees as we know them

Almost like the clouds ARE the leaves. Bloom saplings are the only ones that don't seem to fit with this little idea but those aren't even physical objects so they're exceptions either way

[lusty merlin]

That too!

Would be cool if they were but I personally think it’s to keep the levels contained and so your not endlessly looking up in the sky, and to sell the storm emersion

[frigid tinsel]

That’s how they look now, but there’s a thought that the Forest trees have been petrified either due to the darkness in the rain or the Eden calamity. You can even see what might be petrified light blooms. Looking at the Switch release and animation trailers, there were trees that looked more like typical trees, so the ones we see in Forest had something happen to them.

[ebon burrow]

[takes notes] thank you for entertaining my questions

[sterile orchid]

Having their branches broken off due to whatever happened to Eden and then being instantly frozen in time is actually really cool of an idea

Plus there are a few that you can see are fully snapped in half, or knocked over/chopped down

[wispy canopy]

Heya

Whats the discussion?? 😊

[shrewd zenith]

I wonder why the water in Hidden Forest isn't as polluted as Golden Wasteland. Perhaps that just goes to show how absolutely extreme the pollution there is

[rigid mural]

My guess is that the hidden forest isn't as industrialised as the golden wasteland; the former only has one visible refinery while the latter is littered with pipes and remnants of factories

[random token]

The rain probably comes from GW and floods some of the area as well

[delicate condor]

I noticed that the architecture of Great Zimbabwe seemed somewhat similar to that of the floating islands.

[keen shore]

I kept having this thought that there were ancestor children who were born after animals like wolves or tigers went extinct

[lusty merlin]

Children ancestors finding old abandoned murals of wolves and tigers

Since we on the topic of animals do you guys think the island in the Nintendo trailer had a completely different variety of animals?

Like the cone crabs

The uncorrupted krill we theorize to be the manta thing in the trailer came from that island, maybe they're not really native to the current sky world

That also makes me think of another topic, (and also because I'm in forensics atm), crime. Its strange to think about I know but where would they put Thieves and such? Were ancestors even capable of that or were they above it

[keen shore]

Maybe!! I’m not really sure yet where the Nintendo trailer fits into my perception of the world but I’d assume if it was a different environment they would have different animals, yeahg

And the flavor’s not in the meat, or the fat, or the juice, or anything else like that. The flavor is in the seasoning.

[lusty merlin]

You using ketchup spice?

[eternal totem]

I wonder who that spirit may be you'll never guess

[sharp lichen]

I was forced to eat this ketchup-LIKE spaghetti when I was a child. It was a formative experience of mine that I’ll never forgot

[frigid tinsel]

We’re not talking about eating skids or spirits. Are you saying skykids are spaghetti?

[lusty merlin]

He’s been forced to eat ketchup spaghetti since he was five /ref

[brisk python]

i have so much fear for the end of the season as to what pleading child's shared space is going to be
like. oh my god
im Dreading how sad it's going to be im already calling it'll be the saddest of them all

[sharp lichen]

For all spaghetti likers, take a bite out of a tomato and see how much you like your stupid sauce anyways

[brisk python]

c-can we go back to lore talk now

[frigid tinsel]

Raw tomato ≠ ketchup

[rigid mural]

Bro 💀💀💀

[violet sundial]

Who eats ketchup and spaghetti i will actually hurt you

Also spaghetti is extremely important sky lore wdym 💔

[spring python]

Biting raw tomatoes is normal tho

[sharp lichen]

I wish I was muted

[violet sundial]

It’s a fruit you can just eat it like an apple is all I’m saying

Let ik youre Brazilian but are you okay

[tepid veldt]

i enter to see crimes being committed
ill be leaving now

[spring python]

I genuinely thought that was just something everyone did 💀

[violet sundial]

I hate raw tomatoes actually 💔

[livid crypt]

all this chat about food just from TS hints? seems like a tangent turned into a detour

[brisk python]

i just want to talk about lore

[rigid mural]

Alex what sauce do you eat your spaghetti with

[violet sundial]

Answer them. Alex.

[spring python]

Wasteland spirits bite raw tomatoes

[keen shore]

I was drawing a cat what did I come back to

[livid crypt]

I think the official lore based on the pizza and spaghetti hints is: italy is not canon in Sky.
As for how I like spaghetti, lots of different ways. tomato sauce is fine. alfredo is good, or sometimes just butter

[violet sundial]

The pollution was divine retribution for that

[brisk python]

salem hel p

[spring python]

Foul

[keen shore]

ITALY IS NOT CANON IN SKY 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[rigid mural]

Cherry tomatoes are so good, I understand you Let.
Sometimes I succumb to my instincts while cutting a tomato and wake up covered in sauce.

[keen shore]

the world rejoices SKY ROME IS NOT REAL 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[livid crypt]

I don't mean to single out Italy though 😄 all nations of earth are not canon in Sky!

[violet sundial]

I hate cherry tomatoes im sorry 💔 the taste is weird

[rigid mural]

JUST BUTTER ???

[spring python]

That’s not true Brazil is real

[spring python]

Everyday is a holiday in Brazil

[brisk python]

i love golden wasteland i wish brazil was real /j

[violet sundial]

[frigid tinsel]

darkness prob diluted enough in pools of water to not be damaging

[keen shore]

From my experience with Let I think Brazilians are just like that

[spring python]

I can confirm we have to transverse carefully cause giant shrimps can attack at any time ❤️❤️❤️

[frigid tinsel]

hello! ive been wondering for a while now- who is cheering for us in Valley? the stands are always eerily empty, while the air fills with shouts

[frigid tinsel]

if you can't commit actual crimes, food crimes are fine

[sharp lichen]

Geographically accurate map of the Sky world

[lusty merlin]

Saving that thank you

[keen shore]

We aren’t sure either, honestly. Could be weird mechanics of spirit memories, or cyan light used to create that noise by the elders

[violet sundial]

If you’re gay AND italian you die because of a paradox

[frigid tinsel]

skill issue

[lusty merlin]

I personally like to think it’s spirits watching above or it’s our skykids imagining the cheers either one goes (other than that I have no idea)

[sudden vector]

ohh thats cute!!! thank youuu

[brisk python]

personal canon it's sah and mehk somehow cheering on ur skid (obviously not but. it makes me happy to think about)

[lusty merlin]

Ive eaten a jalapeño whole without chewing so I’d say that’s a crime

[sudden vector]

AWWWW IM ADOPTING THAT HC CAN I YOINK IT

[frigid tinsel]

are you okay

[lusty merlin]

Yesh was just a tad spicy, ate the stem also

[brisk python]

u may sah and mehk just make me. so happy
i LOVE them sm and how playful they are with our moth,,

[lusty merlin]

HARD AGREE I LOVE THAT THEY TRY TO PLAY WITH OUR SKYKIDS BEFORE SENDING US TO THE HORRORS

[eternal totem]

Damn bro eat the tree while you're at it

[random token]

They stole our light

[spring python]

Rain doesnt seem like theyll use it anyways

[brisk python]

like i rewatched their elder cutscene yesterday and kept replaying it bc of how PURE it is!!! playing cat and mouse with our lil moff,,,
and i ADORE how the siblings try to one-up each other like aidhasd

[shrewd zenith]

In the isle of dawn, ate these the other temples being shown on the walls? Like the Prairie Temple, Forest, GW, Vault (tower, presumably?) And Eden/Palace/whaterever we call the thingy near the diamond

[frigid tinsel]

you ate the temples?????

[random token]

Sorry who now

[rigid mural]

Vividly remembering I wanted to play with them more as a moth, like what, it's already over ???

[eternal totem]

Yeah they are the temples

[lusty merlin]

Dip them in chocolate and I have a pocky

tgc let us play with sah and mehk!!! like fully!!!
have it be a fun minigame!!!

[random token]

It was me

I ate them

[lusty merlin]

I will never get over their intro like, Oo i like them they look cool- OOO TWO OF THEM

[sudden vector]

question! is the little prince canon in our universe? if aurora is

[rigid mural]

TWO OF THEM

[brisk python]

and then they 'fight' over who gets the flame,,,but turn it into a game i LOVE IT

[sharp lichen]

Pickled jalapeños really aren’t that spicy

[random token]

Ok but where did the valley elders get their staffs?? What it made out of??

[frigid tinsel]

light

[random token]

no, really? /j

Maybe forest crafted it for them

Sorry for ping.

[sharp lichen]

It’s a contested issue, some believe they aren’t but I think the Little Prince and Aurora reasonably fit in the Sky world (and now they’re not white anymore )

[frigid tinsel]

tac didn't specify the jalapeño was pickled

[lusty merlin]

I see aurora more as a story teller, as the prince seems to be somwhat more involved but not in the main story if that makes sence, aurora to me is more of a voice to tell the story of the kingdom of that makes sence

[random token]

Probably what tac said

[untold notch]

at least it isn't bell peppers

[sharp lichen]

Eh, the Aurora concert seems quite important to Sky, I don’t get why she can’t at least represent a character that actually existed in Sky lore

[lusty merlin]

Yeah it was just a raw uncut, washed jalapeño

[brisk python]

important
sah or mehk pick one (curious to see opinion is all :0)

[random token]

Do you not like bell peppers?

[sudden vector]

wdym theyre not white anymore?/gen

[lusty merlin]

-looks to my pfp, status and piles of fanart of Sah -

How can I ever choose…. Mekh /j

[sharp lichen]

After the season of the little prince ended, his skin turns into a bluish

[brisk python]

ngl? based
i literally cannot choose between the sibs they're both so cool

[random token]

They whacked our light

[lusty merlin]

That’s to avoid copy right I’m guessing, either that or were more reliving his memories in a way after he died died

[sharp lichen]

There is no worse vegetable or culinary product than the maligned bell pepper. It is the bane of agriculture. No spice, no heat. If you want the texture or flavor of bell peppers, there are thousands of greater peppers and chilis that are great

[brisk python]

they were playing a game with us !! to make us feel better knowing we were about to enter wasteland

[sudden vector]

ohhh okayokay!

[sharp lichen]

Why would the Little Prince’s color scheme be copyrighted?

[lusty merlin]

Agree to disagree my mom makes great Colombian food with bell peppers

[spring python]

Some colors are copyrighted fyi, same can happen to certain color combos

[random token]

Going to infiltrate TGC just to make bell peppers a Canon food

[lusty merlin]

Yaya, plus if that wasn’t the case then the prince would have his normal colors even after the season ended but he doesn’t

[sudden vector]

when i frst met them i was SOOOO mad i hated how they stole my light..... and now i love them <3

[frigid tinsel]

the fact that colors can be copyrighted is a bane of capitalism ugh

[brisk python]

aiahfsdf that's how i felt about forest elder
how our light gets snatched SO RUDELY
but sah and mehk make a game out of it 💜

[sudden vector]

i like this interpretation!

[sharp lichen]

Omw to read 36 pages of little prince copyright information to confirm a silly Sky theory

[livid crypt]

nobody can really own a color, but it may be part of a collab agreement to keep a sharp distinction between brands after an event is over

[soft timber]

I heard Little Prince

[lusty merlin]

I also hate it, the fact some colors are behind a paywall too buts tahts a rant for another day

[frigid tinsel]

[brisk python]

also no guys *vanya black i actually own it

[sterile orchid]

I swear there was like, a vanta black 2.0 that was somehow even darker

[livid crypt]

Forest Elder seems to me like they just think they know better about how to use light and want to educate the sky kid. like the way a parent would slap a hand if a child reached for a hot stove

[sharp lichen]

Isn’t vanta black hard to create?

[brisk python]

who's your favorite elder

[lusty merlin]

I wouldn’t call them rude, think of their prespective. Your somebody trapped in a small cramped space in limbo with no way to build or create, somthing that you enjoy to do which has been shown in your mural’s and cutscenes.

Now imagine that but your in that position forest elder is in, somthing that you loved to do has been taking away as all you can do is sit and rot away

Then a child comes, holding somthing that can help you create again, you can MAKE somthing again, so ofcorse you snatch it and begin working, because you can finally create

Also they’re so gentle in their orbit cutscene, now that they’re free. Hence why I don’t see them taking out light as a rude gesture out of malice

[frigid tinsel]

[sudden vector]

gosh i need to rewatch orbit cutscene! i also agree with your POV as well- sorry but who trapped the elders?

[frigid tinsel]

Nanif isn’t actually all black but at one point Amander was

[sharp lichen]

Nobody knows exactly, but my theory is they sealed themselves in to protect themselves. Hence why I don’t believe tac’s theory, Forest Elder agreed to be sealed

[random token]

I love the orb hat honestly

[brisk python]

i actually have yet to see the elder cutscenes other than isle's

[lusty merlin]

No idea, im there’s many theories like their trapped in the diamond but we don’t know for sure

Valley twins my favorite characters in the whole game tbh

I just want to have a full manta outfit for my manta rider boy Altair. Getting the cape for him is gonna take forever

Anyone have a video or article on the up to date sky lore?

[brisk python]

omg u also have an altair oc

[sharp lichen]

Relevant theory for you- #lore-discussion-spoilers message

[sterile orchid]

I am now slightly confused

[sharp lichen]

Here is one- https://docs.google.com/document/d/12XSkaMV_5UYG-an_Qo37ItyKP6GaqBBA6iRqBVE2qck/edit

There are many theory videos but they’re not confirmed or anything. I can DM you some

[brisk python]

another oc named altair is what i mean

[frigid tinsel]

like darkstone, red light is associated with darkness. the first Enchantment quest remarks that red light is found "where darkness prevails." I believe that red light can control darkness, which Nanif, as a former corrupted skid, is very interested in

[lusty merlin]

Good soup

[random token]

I'll get back to you on that, I'm only able to comprehend shorter conversations rn . Saved the link though.

[old sentinel]

That would be appreciated

[sterile orchid]

Ah, yes, I do! Him's a little manta rider who i love and adore with all my heart (ignoring the amount of love I give to my other sky kids)

I have an entire, full 4000 character message about how the lyrics of AURORA's Runaway relates to his story.

[pastel brook]

When the last tree in Hidden Forest has fallen and the rivers in Golden Wasteland are poisoned, you cannot eat darkstone oh no

[brisk python]

oh man felt, except my altair is for an entirely different fandom altogether haidahda
he's for wings of fire :) so he's a dragon

[torpid stag]

idk if this should go in this channel, but do you guys think that the aviary will ever come back? even if its just a shrine u sit at and appear there

[sharp lichen]

The aviary was removed for performances issues, unfortunately

[torpid stag]

:,0 oh I had no idea how so?

[sterile orchid]

Wasn't that just Light Awaits version of Home

[sharp lichen]

I’ve heard it caused heating problems on lower-end devices

[lusty merlin]

Nah, that’s light awaits stuff so earlyyyyy beta and i doupt it would come back for the reason baud stated

Think this also works better in #questions-and-help idk how this ties into lore wise

[rigid mural]

Aviary came back in another form with the Wind Paths !

[sharp lichen]

I mean how did our food conversation tie into Sky lore

[sterile orchid]

Light Awaits stuff looks so pretty

[low spindle]

I feel like that performance issues shouldnt be an issue anymore? Considering things like Aurora..

I just want aviary back ngl

[torpid stag]

yeaa ig more lore of the timeline of the game game not rly the game itself

[sharp lichen]

I would say the Wind Paths is pretty different looking- they’re just cloudy areas so

[torpid stag]

yeah buttt I love this big circle, and the vibe just feels so cozy and bright but not too bright
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/894093682385502248/1070114558196330588/Sky_Screenshot4-900x506.png

[low spindle]

Windpaths doesnt evoke aviary feeling for me honestly

[torpid stag]

yeah me either really

[sterile orchid]

It would, tbh, make more sense for Home to be in the clouds and not an island in the middle of nowhere someplace in the ocean

[torpid stag]

Yeah I mean I love home especially the sunset but I would prefer clouds around it even tho that might be not lore accurate perhaps

[old sentinel]

What is an altair oc

[low spindle]

Theres a lot from light awaits I wish they kept

For example the old isle, old isle has my HEART.

[livid crypt]

I played in the Aviary during that time, and while I liked the visual design of it, I didn't like the flow. the layout caused people to sit around and chat a lot, and to split up when they went out into the realms

[sterile orchid]

It's an OC with the name "Altair" which means something related to wind

[old sentinel]

Ooooooooh

[sharp lichen]

Old Isle is cool but it’s too small for my liking

[low spindle]

Honestly that makes sense

I wonder if there would be a way to bring the vibes/general design of aviary and mix it with the nicer flow of the newer home..

Ima design some stuff later due to this

[torpid stag]

Yeah I wish there was a way to experience that version of the game still

(Kinda on topic still) heres an edit I made of clouds around home a while back and I love it so muchh

[sterile orchid]

Wind paths does fit the role of a second Home where you have access to areas in every realm you might not have known about

[brisk python]

my altair is named after the star in the aquila constellation lol
alr im done talking now

[low spindle]

I actually disagree. New isle is far too big and empty for my liking. I sorta have a grudge against it, because the slow start made me not want to play sky fully years ago, and now I deal with that fomo feeling all the time haha.

I prefered the more interactive and guiding light of LA isle. Also just the fact of its aesthetic compared to the new isle.

[livid crypt]

there was a long flying lead-in to aviary that was tedious after the first time (ahem end of isle), and then to get into any realm it took a long time just to fly to the gates. and it made home weirdly redundant

[torpid stag]

yea it is very cozy honestly, I should visit more often

[livid crypt]

and then there was the daily quest hub... if aviary didn't split you up, the quest hub definitely would

[torpid stag]

yeah :,0 I have super fomo too, when I see the videos of it I want to experience it soooo baddd

[low spindle]

Thinking about this, a floating island with a floating lake in home would be cool. Again ima design some ideas later.

I wanna visit wind paths more but the seasonal like glitch still scares me haha

[torpid stag]

seasonal like glitch? :0

[sharp lichen]

New Isle gives the apocalyptic and fantasy-like atmosphere though. Even if Sky is very linear, the large expansive areas make it feel like it’s open world, and that’s something that LA doesn’t have as much.

[sterile orchid]

I would always ignore the areas linked to wind paths bc I could just go to wind paths and visit them to do candle runs

Now that I can't do that bc seasonal candles, it's made candle runs a tiny bit more stressful for me

[torpid stag]

yeah I love both versions a lot

[frigid tinsel]

you can't just... go Home and walk through the portals to where the seasonal candles are?

[livid crypt]

here's a gallery shiracheshire made with home/aviary change history: https://imgur.com/a/ZbOOVnv

[low spindle]

Thats true! I guess its just up to personal opinions, I prefer how the old LA game felt in aesthetic and style (probs not in gameplay with some parts though)

But it inspires me creatively

[sterile orchid]

No I mean I don't want my seasonal candles to reset.

[frigid tinsel]

that's only a consequence of if you're trying to trigger the Home assets glitch. if not, you'll be fine

[soft timber]

appears :3

[keen shore]

Agree to disagree! Isle is my favorite realm, I think the emptiness adds a desolate feel similar to the one in Wasteland… you can tell it wasn’t always like that and it makes you want to know more

[sterile orchid]

Wind paths itself is bugged and resets your seasonal candles #known-issues

[lusty merlin]

I like the risk, keeps me on my toes

[keen shore]

Drawing hearts around them, I love that I immediately guessed who posted this before I saw your username

[low spindle]

Im starting to love new isle despite my grudge, but yeah! I do agree the desolateness is great.

As an old journey fan it def helped me feel better about the game since it felt similiar to the start of journey?

I just still prefer the old isle aesthetic due to the like feeling it gives me though.

Fun discussion on this though

[keen shore]

It’s cause flight guide keeps eating them ☹️

[livid crypt]

the current version of isle felt a little too big and empty to me, but it started to make sense for me when the spirit quest was added that shows the star child falling and the two spirits going to rescue them

[random token]

I saw aviary

[frigid tinsel]

I've been to the Wind Paths multiple times and my seasonal candles have been fine. again, the candle conversion bug is linked to the Home assets glitch, so if you're not going to trigger that glitch then you'll be fine.

[keen shore]

I LOVE STARGAZERS MEMORY IT MAKES ME LOSE IT EVERY TIME AT THEIR CONFUSED EXPRESSIONS

[lusty merlin]

I just imagined the vine boom when they exchange the look so ty salem

[livid crypt]

and of course the animation showing the isle back in the day with green everywhere

[frigid tinsel]

"a child?"

[low spindle]

AH! your right! I totally forget about the spirits memories.

Honestly when I think of green isle it makes sense again

[sterile orchid]

In my mind it's better not to risk doing that at ALL so I prefer not going there until they stop it from doing that

[frigid tinsel]

there's been bugs in the game for nearly two years, you might be waiting a while

[torpid stag]

I'm looking thro this and wow I feel fomo when I see this... its something straight out of my dreams

[sterile orchid]

I'm ending this conversation

[keen shore]

Ancient green isle… it makes me nostalgic everytime, even though I’ve obviously never been there. I’m not really sure how that works but it totally adds to the emotional gutpunch feeling of seeing it

[lusty merlin]

You remind be the eden yet glitch still happens

I was helping 3 moths in eden and it took awhile, i guess somebody skipped to just begin ascending and triggerd the bug when I finally died, i felt so bad cuz that’s such a game breaking bug for the immersion

Oof idk if I turned ping off sorry if I didn’t al

just thought of this- might it be significant that the first voice we're born with matches orbit's song so well?

[livid crypt]

haha, that was after the friend shrines were changed from little piles of stones that frankly didn't look like stones

[random token]

I think all calls do though, if you honk it goes along with the tune

[sudden vector]

oh i didnt know that! i meant more like uhh how do i explain;.. like how it matched the notes themselves perfectly? maybe im overanalyzing im sneepy

[random token]

same tbh my tummy hurts

[keen shore]

No you’re right! It’s the same voice iirc, leading to the idea that the same voice singing the song in Orbit (often assumed to be Megabird) is the one who ‘talks’ us through the intro

[sudden vector]

🛏️

[sudden vector]

ohh that's so cool! so we're separating AURORA from the voice then- good to know it gets confusing sometimes

[keen shore]

Yeah! AURORA likely takes more of a voice actor role than a character in her own right

[sudden vector]

this is so interesting to me! thank you

[random token]

Noooo :(.. I am resting though

I also believe that this isn't the first time megabird sent us down

[keen shore]

Waters I noticed you were confused about red light earlier; I have a write up on all the enchantment colored lights, do you want it?

[random token]

Sure. I know what they are, just not the story or deeper thought behind them. I am also going to read baud's take.

[keen shore]

Yeah, the intro pretty clearly calls this our ‘return’, although what that means isn’t really explained.

I'd love that

it's that I know someone who thought they were spicy (stars I'm so late I was on rehearsal break)

wait I was just gonna ask about the colored lights!

[sterile orchid]

I know I said I was ending this but I just looked up what glitch you're talking about. Its ABSOLUTELY something that can be triggered without meaning to, which is why I'm keeping it in my mind to stay away for as long as possible, so i don't risk activating it while trying to save my candles for Remembrance

Your seasonal currency may be fine and I'm very happy to see that you're not experiencing the issue but that doesn't mean I shouldn't worry about activating the exact same thing. Something that already happened to me before I knew there was even an issue, literally just collecting all of the map shrines, and then I lost all my Aurora currency (wasn't that much of an issue because it was almost over already but doesn't mean it can't happen again with the brand new season)

[pastel brook]

Oh my goodness that's a very low spice tolerance, also no worries

[sharp shuttle]

Oh wow, bell peppers (we call them capsicum here!) aren't at all spicy, they're like refreshing and crumchy snacks!

[earnest briar]

I cannot stand any spice I am too sensitive to it. Even bell peppers are too much for me. 😔

[sharp shuttle]

That's so fascinating! I love spicy food, I can't imagine not having a tolerance for it :")

[sharp lichen]

L+skill issue+ eat good food+ you eat Lightseeker cuisine

[sterile orchid]

I love eating spicy food but I can barely handle anything even a bit spicier than pepperoni

There's a thing called Slim Jim's over here in the states that has a whole box of a smaller size which is like 3-4 of the big ones and. I often eat those all in one sitting

[earnest briar]

Hey I just had some awesome pickled chicken with onion rings and broccoli tempura If that is Lightseeker cuisine then I am honored to dine with them.

Quick question
What we thinking of the current Remembrance quests so far 👀👀

[tepid veldt]

#lore-discussion-spoilers message here’s my take on the current quests and what i think could happen next!

[keen shore]

IM SORRY I HAD TO LEAVE AND GHOSTED YOU BOTH BUT I AM BACK

@cold sparrow & @random token tagging you too to see, this is just a general description of them

Colored lights are a specific type of light in Sky that are part of its magic system and can be used by ancestors, elders, and presumably skykids. You might recognize them from Enchantment.

Each has a specific personality trait associated with it; for orange through blue these are given to us by the Trials’ descriptions, but for red and purple they are theorized.

Red - Void - Tradition - Isle
controls darkness and its ability to ‘consume/release’ things. Imagine darkness like a Venus flytrap; red light can influence its opening and closing, releasing things it already consumed. This is how it brought back the Ark’s murals; darkness had consumed and destroyed them, and Nodding Muralist used it to bring them back.

Orange - Fire - Courage - Wasteland
controls and brings flame, especially in relation to the flames/inner light of creatures; hence why it summoned light creatures for the ark.

[Yellow is the color of general, non elemental light. It’s possibly associated with Eden.]

Green - Earth - Tenacity - Prairie
controls rocks, plants, & is also related to light creatures, similar to Fire.

Cyan - Air - Balance - Valley
Controls air & air currents, makes things float, and presumably can create things like vacuums as well, but we don’t know for sure.

Blue - Water - Patience - Forest
controls & purifies water, can bring rain.

Purple - Mind - Creativity - Vault
can manifest tangible constructs out of light, like how it created the tents in the ark.

AYEEE thank you that’s super informative love love 🤩

[random token]

OH, that makes much better sense, now that I think about "catch the light" quests and what areas they're in as well.

[keen shore]

The colored lights are super interesting to me, they’re one of my favorite things to talk about! I wish they tied into the lore more.

Realizing I should probably add to the list which elder is theorized to possess each light — prophecy murals show they each get one. Doing that rq

There we go! Added them

[atomic lava]

wow

[sly edge]

It does seem like certain colors are tied to certain aspects

Like for instance, mandatory spirits are blue, while the other ones are urple, sometimes yellow

[frigid tinsel]

Salem with the incredible and informative write-ups 🤘

[tepid veldt]

actually thats quite useful steals link

[sly edge]

This is very detailed and well done and makes a lot of sense

Speaking of lore I've been obsessed with the idea of a fan story lately lmao, I'm trying to make a bunch of proof of concept sketches so i can post them either here or at the fanart page. But given I'll add lore stubs i think it'll fit here despite being fanlore

Or not idk, correct me if I'm wrong

[keen shore]

Yeah! That’s more the game’s general use of color to communicate things more than strictly associated with colored light. Since Sky almost entirely uses visual and environmental storytelling over a text-based alternative, design elements like colors and shapes are often utilized to express certain elements in a character that people will pick up subconsciously. For example, the color red is almost entirely associated with danger and hostility. For shapes, a good example would be the elders, who are each themed around a specific shape; Prairie is round so that, without even realizing it, your brain sees them as nonthreatening and gentle right off the bat.

It’s really interesting to pick apart.

[tepid veldt]

round

[keen shore]

Also TYSM all for your compliments on the write up, I really appreciate it!!

[sly edge]

The shape languages defo make sense

GW Elder represents strength
VOK represents delicateness
VOT represents rivalry
HF
Prairie represents comfort/ friendliness
IOD represents wisdom/guidance

[sharp lichen]

This theory is here as well!

omg they let you out of the cat carrier

[keen shore]

I shamefully admit this is exactly what happened. I came very close to having to show alexdolly british crab whisperer to explain the actions I took and am glad that did not end up happening

While I was imprisoned I relived piggyback lightseeker’s spirit memory, what is everyone’s thoughts on what was happening during it? I’m curious

[atomic lava]

ngl i forgor what it is

[frigid tinsel]

light seeking

[frigid tinsel]

it would be really funny if alexdolly popped in like "oh I saw it"

[keen shore]

A brief summary from what I could tell:

Piggyback walks into the cave their memory is set in. They help boost another ancestor who was with them up to a ledge and they walk further into the cave, piggyback looks like they’re holding a torch. At the very end is rejecting voyager; once they meet up, they all do this almost… worshipy pose? at the light orbs in the boat at the end. I tried to get a good picture, but the timer ran out before I could

[radiant cedar]

i'm so excited the piggyback spirit is returning. i can't wait to buy the hairstyle

[keen shore]

Could you elaborate on what you mean by this? It makes sense, given their title and the fact our skykids usually name spirits based on what they see firsthand in their memories, but I’m lost on how they’re seeking light in their memory

[austere bridge]

i hate how i just open lorechat and am greeted with sans whisperer /hj

[keen shore]

It’s important

[uncut pond]

Ohhh you just wait till you see the comic I made about gloat

Sans whisperer is a mere fraction of my power

[atomic lava]

ooh very interesting i need to think on this

[frigid tinsel]

well that cave has that little ark holding three light orbs. Piggyback, the unnamed spirit, and Rejecting Voyager are in that cave for some reason. perhaps for those orbs – whether to place them there or to take them.

I've seen the thought go around that the three were going there for light to use to alleviate Rejecting Voyager's darkness sickness, since even in that memory Voyager has darkness plants sprouting from there. Piggyback, being a lightseeker, might've been more professed in utilizing light to heal. with the idea that light was waning in Isle, then it's possible the three went to desperate measures (looting an altar) to cure Voyager's darkness sickness.

on the other hand, perhaps they were placing the orbs there. granted, we don't see the orbs in the spirit memory itself, though I think ancestors can carry light internally and pull it out of themselves. not certain that's what happened here but yknow. but they do genuflect in front of the altar. again, referring to light waning in Isle, perhaps they gathered the some of the meager light they had available to be sheltered in the altar for some reason, like it was sacred and hallowed, or the light was under threat so it had to be stored for safe-keeping.

on one hand, I doubt the reverence idea and don't want to believe that. simply put, I have odd feelings about light being idolized that way. certainly during the ancestors time it was given light was important – "we were all given breath by starlight" – but seeing it idolized and worshiped light that brings up uncomfortable feelings, especially if this was during Isle's desertification. on the other hand, something similar occurs at the end of Shushing Light Scholar's spirit memory with two other nameless spirits. of course, both SLS and Piggyback's crews could be doing something practical with light that the spirit memories can't depict. we just aren't sure what.

[radiant cedar]

did anyone get the new prop related to the second seasonal quest? i was impressed at how tall it stood. thoughts about the lack of chairs/seats for the prop as well (compared to other social props like the chat tables)? i sorta assumed it was because the item itself isn't necessarily a luxury (due to the circumstances of the times), but an example of how the spirits adapted and made do with what they had (survival mode).

[lusty merlin]

To be fair ancestors are way taller than skykids so I assume to them it would be a regular size

[radiant cedar]

oh yeah you're right because my sky kid is like the shortest height i think 😭

[uncut pond]

I just relived the memory and taking into account that the 3 light orbs are there in the presen I'd say that piggyback and the other 2 were placing light on the miniark

You also gotta remember that light offerings towards Elders seemed to be a common tradition back then in the early days of ancestors, and such offerings were sent using boats

[keen shore]

YEAH this is pretty much my thoughts on it as well! I feel you on it being odd to think about light being worshipped; not only does it feel weird and wrong that it would be considered more important than rejecting voyager’s life (considering they have the darkness infection and that light would help it), it’s very hard to imagine that mentality existing in a world where it’s used for such things as powering batteries.

[keen shore]

I thought about that for a bit too, and I see the connection, but the issue I ran into is that the boat wasn’t going anywhere. Like, instead of giving the light offerings to Dawn, they just put them on a boat shaped altar and ‘worshipped’ (for lack of a better word) them for awhile. If they were for an elder, why weren’t they given to an elder? If they couldn’t be given to that elder, why make it in the first place?

[balmy spoke]

Maybe the Ark sailed from the isle? The mini boat was to wish it well?

[uncut pond]

I didn't fully relive the memory, I only did to the last part where they have the orbs in hand
Was there a cutscene post-reliving?

[keen shore]

I wish I could tell you but that was exactly when the timer ran out for me

[keen shore]

….this is another thought I could see

[uncut pond]

💀 oh well

Assuming there's no cutscene and the memory just ends with them offering the light to the boat, there's a chance that something might've happened outside that made them stop with whatever they were doing and go outside, with the memory ending right before that

Just imagine if they really were about to send the light to the Elder as a call for help/blessings and the thing that distracts them is the sound of the Eden explosion, and with it the "death"(?) of their Elder

[frigid tinsel]

the "cutscene" is just Piggyback doing the piggyback "get on me" emote. early seasons rarely had a cutscene when you freed the spirits from the husks

[keen shore]

It’s possible, but the explosion being exactly then is so statistically unlikely that I’d want to find other possible options before I settled on that one, if it makes sense

[uncut pond]

No yeah you're right but also the thought just came to my brain and I had to write it down because I couldn't think of anything else

It'd be quite a tragic irony if that were to be the case tho, if I ever end up writing Sky fics this might be my first one's plot

[balmy spoke]

Or maybe, the ark fell then people offered light to a mini alter when hearing the news.

The ark was accompanied by at least 3 other ships, one smaller one also crashing, i presume the one thats in the vault desert. nvm that i forgot the other one in the same location

[keen shore]

The problem is that season of enchantment is so far after lightseekers in terms of development that idk if they planned that far ahead

[radiant cedar]

gotta go. goodnight or day everyone!

[untold notch]

they may well have but it's hard to say

[balmy spoke]

At the very least, arks are important to their society to transport resources.

Maybe they had larger arks vist each major location bringing resources up, we don't really know the destination of the larger ark, maybe it was to the city that was in the golden sands, Or maybe beyond.

I'd still like to think they birth from the ilse, to transport water up.

The abyss wasn't really their to collect water, probably a research base for the depths before it flooded, sanctuary seems relatively none able to provide large quantities of water from who ever lived there, the rain water and water in Forest isnt the cleanest only place left is the isle...

[half shadow]

honest to goodness I have no idea what’s up with Lightseekers. they sure do be seeking that light i guess

[balmy spoke]

And into piggybacks

Which tbh was probably more a game making decision rather than lore decision, like people said an early season

[rigid mural]

I think Salem should be re-muted for making me look at british crab whisperer and reminding me hetalia exists ||/j||

[keen shore]

I didn’t do the second one king you did that yourself

[white junco]

i think that was tac

[rigid mural]

That was a team effort to be mean to me

[keen shore]

It was a necessary one /t

[brisk python]

i saw hetalia hi

also just came back from another round of the concert
is it known if the mantas in 'warrior' are being caught for manta racing, for their light essence, or both ?

[rigid mural]

It's up to you, personally I think that they were caught for darkstone production; fortunately they break free at the end...

[brisk python]

that's what i was thinking, since the seed follows up with the poor babies being attacked during the war, but honestly i feel like maybe it goes both ways? some for darkstone, some for racing

[rigid mural]

Could be like horses

[brisk python]

ooh maybe

[sterile orchid]

My idea is that mantas are just caught in general, and then based on certain characteristics they have they're either used for dark stone or racing

I imagine the race ones are bigger, show some kind of special temperament, or have different patterns (even if different patterns can't really be shown in game without a million different models of mantas)

Getting into the details about species differences is hard when Im currently stuck on mobile and all my screenshots are on my computer but

I find it very cool how there are mantas in sanctuary that look pretty different from other mantas from other places. Specifically the biggest ones you see there

[brisk python]

i love mantas so much 🥺 it still pains me seeing that they were caught and killed and treated so horribly by some spirits

[sterile orchid]

Same! It's. Why I made an entire character so I have an excuse to draw mantas every time I want to draw something related to Sky

[brisk python]

RIGHT ABSOLTUELY SAME
like these poor sky pancakes 😭 they never deserved it

[sterile orchid]

Poor cloud pancakes at least that's not happening anymore though right? Like, today's mantas don't have to worry about it.

[brisk python]

yeah, that's the good part,,now they have tons of skykid friends !!

[sterile orchid]

I do wonder if the sanctuary mantas are a different species of manta or if there's something about being in sanctuary that makes them look different

[brisk python]

im not sure, but i love them all with my entire whole heart

[pastel brook]

I just want you to feel you're doing well

Do you mean like… Eden as it is now vs a reconstruction of Eden before the disaster? If it’s what you’re asking, I don’t have one for Eden yet, but I drew one for Forest, isle, and wasteland each

[opal fog]

I had a question! Is there any like- widely accepted lore about Golden Wasteland? Mainly looking for like War lore and such for my OC im making :) Dms are open too and thanks in advance!

[lusty merlin]

Think the most widely accepted is that the war was a civil war, against who we’re still not sure

Might be my opinion but a lot of my buds and I agree cares about their warriors a lot, like to an heartbreaking amount how much we see them caring about them

[cold sparrow]

and it seems like large parts of the golden wasteland were an industrial district, most likely for darkstone production
it's likely that there were some living quarters there too, but we've seen little of it
and the temple of the wasteland is guarding the entrance to the vault, probably once guarded with the kingdom's military force/official guard
anything else is up for interpretation

[lusty merlin]

That too!

[floral skiff]

I was wondering where the flight to orbit took place in eden

[balmy spoke]

What ever it is, it may be either a replicator of the vault or the vaults a replicator of the top. At least there is one re used main asset which is the vault temple area

[frigid tinsel]

at the top of the mountain and above

[steep crest]

this one looks interesting but im not sure what to say of it just that its some kind of memory

[frigid tinsel]

I think that's the concept behind Night Elder's cutscene when they show up the realm constellations, stories about the kingdom

OOHHHH

Huh? It doesn't look like Vault...

[flint bolt]

Like the outside of it is a lot bigger than the gate

[thick jacinth]

OHHHHH I GET IT I GET IT

[round parrot]

That might as well be another factory, just far out into the distance. I personally don't think it is Valley since it should be way higher than that

• there are no clouds above Valley as far as I can see

[thick jacinth]

Hum hum
This is make sense too

[bitter pond]

uhm... what did i just find? are these the ancestors? are they... ⚰️? what's the lore behind this gruesome scene

[lean kayak]

They are the realm elders!

[bitter pond]

are they ⚰️?

[lean kayak]

You can see them at the end of each realm when you light up their altars, a cut scene plays

[bitter pond]

what's the red thing in the middle and the star shaped thing on top of it?

[lean kayak]

We have little information about that star... but some players theorize that that's Eden's elder (the king) bursting from the Eden diamond (big red thing in the middle)

Keep in mind that the king is not canon and we dont actually know if it is them!

[bitter pond]

oohhh interesting

[lean kayak]

Yes very! People all have different theories, some others think it might be the chosen one from the Prophecy trials!

[bitter pond]

So... in theory, my theory or just my imagination, the elders from the 6 maps gathered to witness the birth of the seventh elder (eden) then the egg (the red thingy) burst and caused the whole sky popular to be ⚰️

[lean kayak]

The chosen one could also be the king, but again, we dont know anything for sure
