[nova sluice]

oh yeah another question but are the original residents of the sky realms dead or were they always spirits? we know that they got overcome by darkness so they are spirits but why do we see no actual physical people

[native galleon]

they’re all dead

[sharp lichen]

Scarecrow Farmer

[humble reef]

hello everyone
this moth ascended through tears and horrifying sound effects

[sharp lichen]

Eden is truly peak

[humble reef]

thus i would like to add(?) to lores
doesn't this seem familiar? i would like to say asgard but im just being blind

[sharp lichen]

It’s the Eden castle we see at the very beginning cutscene in Isle

[humble reef]

are we genetically modified? to hold the power of light so that we could help trapped spirits escape?

megabird aka mother have two children, the dark and light one. sky kids are the 'vessel' that can hold both power so that mother can 'feel the world through a child's skin' (i might be getting the lyrics wrong)
after the pollution and near extinction of the light creatures, the prince and the forest elder created us with the help of dark crystals to provoke megabird's motherly nature so that she would descend in us and help the trapped elders to reincarnate

[humble reef]

im blind

[humble reef]

does anyone know? since when was sky developing?

sky was launched in 2019 AURORA debuted in 2016 songs that were used in concert cannot be mere coincidence
my guts are telling me so
the devs wanted an ancient spirit like voice which suited AURORA, contacted her, gave her their ideas, she relaeased the songs and now they're collaborating, this is all in a sequence

but maybe i could just be reading onto things too much and i need to touch grass

[night herald]

No don’t touch grass I’ve been wondering about that myself too

[sharp lichen]

The concept art proves that original ideas were started around 2012. It eventually evolved into the alpha version in around 2017. Aurora’s voice only came in Isle and Eden, and those were the two realms that were the most drastically different at the time. I think only until the live release in 2019 that we actually hear Aurora’s voice in game

[sharp lichen]

I think the darkstone sprouting in our body is invasive, we have run out of light so darkness has taken the first chance to come here

[sharp lichen]

Oh, here; https://www.youtube.com/live/7tEc7LAjtAU?si=EwB_CO7WqmUNUPlE

In 1:57:46, Jenova Chen said Sky took “7 years to release”, so I was right about 2012

[native galleon]

I don’t think the songs were written based on the concepts for Sky if that’s what you were implying, no

[noble ferry]

does anyone have images of the passage murals?
thanks in advance!

[glass flower]

Is there a document or something somewhere that has written down all of the lore of sky? If so where can I find it?

[sharp lichen]

Here:

[sharp lichen]

@glass flower There’s no one document that has all of it, but this one has some basic information: https://docs.google.com/document/d/12XSkaMV_5UYG-an_Qo37ItyKP6GaqBBA6iRqBVE2qck/edit

[glass flower]

Thank youu

[crisp fox]

so whats the lore from the beginning until the time skykids come (our current)? is there some kind of document i can read that keeps track of lore or

[sharp lichen]

Yes, read exactly 2 messages up 😭

[distant turtle]

There’s the original intro, the Season of Prophecy murals, and there’s a concept art timeline. There isn’t much else but speculation.
Original intro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0HIzf8H7jk

[oblique moat]

You know when I went through the Little Prince quests it never crossed my mind that he had anything to do with the overall lore of sky

but that would explain why we had to search for him in Eden and come back with him

[fickle snow]

im still alive tho

[sharp lichen]

No, by prince, the Eden Elder is meant

They have been completely dead, but they made a large impact on the past history of the Sky world

[oblique moat]

okay is this referenced in game if not where can i go to read up on that? Cause now i have questions lol

[sharp lichen]

Mostly in the Season of Prophecy murals and the mural in Eden activated by white candles, as shown here#lore-discussion-spoilers message

They also appear in the Vault cutscene and the final Shattering memory

[oblique moat]

So was it more so the Prince that was calling all the shots rather than than elders? Cause I always thought Eden was like that final place the elders tried to run too before things finally collapsed.

Also on the door of Eden you see the faces of all the elders so I never assumed there was a price to begin with

[sharp lichen]

Look at the very top

Also, in the Vault cutscene, we see the elders from Isle, Prairie, Forest, Valley, Wasteland, and Vault, (keep in mind the music that plays is called “The Story Thus Far”). But after all of them, you see a final picture of Eden.

Fun fact: You know how each realm has a symbol for their constellation? Like Isle is a staff, prairie is a jar, etc.

Well, Eden is a crown, which is the exact some constellation used by the Skykids (in older version)

[night herald]

I need a megabird theory compilation paper or something cause I keep losing track of the different ones

[urban elk]

I’m a lore moth and i was thinking how someone needs to make a google doc of all the well accepted theories

[hot ocean]

Does anyone have Aurora concert lore I could look through? Or anything beyond the Google doc which outlines the basic lore. I’m really interested in it but don’t know where to find the resources

[bitter plank]

there are some :> but it won't let me send the link to the google doc

sky-lore on tumblr reblogs good stuff

i can try to send the link in the promotion area if anyone is interested.

i can't send any links....i don't know wh exactly

[sharp lichen]

Do none of you backread 😭

Anyways here it is: https://docs.google.com/document/d/12XSkaMV_5UYG-an_Qo37ItyKP6GaqBBA6iRqBVE2qck/edit

https://docs.google.com/document/d/10ZWJRGiJSrIXgDvJ4pST61moZbVB_hBExUjOaF-pmOE/edit
here are the docs from the post i was trying to send

[sharp lichen]

We do know some stuff from the Aurora concert:

-Most of the fighting seemed to take place in Wasteland
-There were 2 sides, the “sun” and “diamond” side.
-The Valley Elders intervened by using the light blue light, which holds the power of wind. It was basically like air artillery

[sharp lichen]

Not to rain on your parade but:

The first one seems outdated

The second one are only fanmade theories, the third one has names that are no longer canon, but the fourth one is good

[bitter plank]

Ohh okay

um i was just sending stuff that I thought might help :> and fanmade is okay here, right?

If not then I was mistaken, sorry.

[sharp lichen]

I know, but it’s just worth knowing the distinction between fanmade and canon

[indigo juniper]

I honestly would love if Vaati Vidya read us the Sky CotL lore lol

[sharp lichen]

Be the change you want to see in the world. The resources are already there, you just have to speak it

[indigo juniper]

I don'tike my voice :X but maybe one of these days I could try.

[sharp lichen]

If you want, I can send a script relating to Sky lore and you can read it

It would be fun

[indigo juniper]

I shall think about it 😄 but maybe yes

[sharp lichen]

Haha, if you need any help just ping or dm me

[void cypress]

There’s lore to sky??

[urban elk]

Backread? To what extent? The dawn of the chat?

[urban elk]

We all pool our money and do a large commission

[opaque stirrup]

How do you guys think Aurora fits into the Sky lore? My headcanon is that she’s like the chosen prophet of the Megabird during the era right before the first big shattering, but what do you guys think?

[humble reef]

i see, i thought 'maybe' there are times when that happens but i guess the game itself will huge amount of promise to influence the career of an artist

[humble reef]

same here
the songs + visuals and the comments during the concert kind of indicates that she want us to not give into corruption?

[opaque stirrup]

Yeah that’s the impression I got too
Season of Shattering directly preceded Season of Aurora right? That seems like it ties into the theme of not giving into corruption

[humble reef]

Istg devs are messing with us
i mean how much thought did someone needs to put into things that unless someone plays for a couple of years

[solid arch]

I got a theory
So what if krills only appear in areas where there has been death (especially accompanied by despair or tragedy) previously
We know that In the Golden Wasteland for example, that there was a battle of some sort, where death, pollution and destruction occurred (seen in the battle feild)
As such, that’s where we see krills first appear

And in Eden, where people, ya know, die from flying rocks all the time, there are krills all over the place

And in places like the Forgotten Ark or Hidden Forest, there are no krills. There was no death or destruction or despair there, even if they appear to be dark and gloomy places at first sight

[native galleon]

i would recommend looking up topics you have questions about, you can limit your search to this channel and then type whatever keyword like

in: lore-discussion-spoilers (keyword)

[ornate orchid]

i'm rewatching the aurora concert digitally, and what strikes me is that during the seed's part, the ancestors are fighting each other as well as the light creatures

and according to the tea brewer's backstory, we know that there was some sort of public control enforced by soldiers

the concept art timeline posted does line up with a lot of the lore of sky, but it doesn't mention any such wars happening. that's why i hesitate to call the concept art timeline the full story. i really don't think the storm is the result of light creatures just attacking...

[dull valve]

what's the weight of the average sky child?

if they're light enough to fly they must be at least 20 - 25 kg right? (44 - 55 lbs for americans)

https://youtu.be/koU_xuoc4WQ?si=4OG_S_VpfmLzLM_7

Sky animation wooo

[lofty rover]

ITS LORE TIMEEE

[dull valve]

wait is this real holy crap

my little sky lore nerd heart

[viral bay]

Yeah so Battefield and the Seed tells the story of the civil war between the spirits, not spirits vs creatures

The concept art timeline doesn't quite match the live lore either.

According to a timeline made by Salem, in which she analyzed all spirit memories and their presence in each other's, and from there deduce who knew who, therefore the timeline; they deduced that by the time the Eden Elder/Resh/future king/first skykid fell down from the sky, Sky civilization's doom was already on the horizon.

We can deduce from there that the King's presence are probably foretold by the Prophecies (cave murals) and that he will be the savior, the one that passes all trials and the one to unite Sky as a kingdom.

[ocean saddle]

:aaaahhEyes:

[distant turtle]

That was an awesome video. The shot of Eden behind Wasteland fortress felt profound and hit me with the sense of large scale. Their Eden appearance is more true to game possibly based somewhat on examining the actual Eden and Ending game maps

[crimson grove]

Lore chat is eating well today!

[ocean saddle]

Will TGC announce this at the news channel?

I'm eating well and good so hard this weekend in preparation for my birthday next Saturday.

[crimson grove]

Probably! It’s not uncommon for media to get some early announcements and such though

[dull valve]

tgc is feeding the lore fans well tonight

[ornate orchid]

not the sky kid?

[undone harbor]

Sky said “it’s lore time” and lored all over the place

[earnest briar]

Forget dinner, this is a whole buffet!

[sterile breach]

Happy feasting Lore Chat

[ocean saddle]

lore buffet moment

[cobalt sapphire]

lorebros we're eating good tonight

[lofty rover]

noms

[copper saffron]

LORECHAT WHAT WE FEELIN
READY TO GO MATPAT MODE WHEN IT COMES OUT?

[lusty merlin]

DUDE SO WOULD THAT MEAN WOUNDED WARRIORS INJURY IS A SORT OF DISEASE OR SOMETHING SEEN WITH THE ARM?

[hushed steeple]

Not all seasons will be related

[hushed steeple]

But since the characters have no mouths, we don’t know for sure

[lusty merlin]

I say that because of the crystal like stuff on the spirits arm which wounded warriors also has

[hushed steeple]

Yeah it’s definitely a good theory

[copper saffron]

Where?

[lusty merlin]

Man pre disaster eden though is so cool, it also seems what’s glowing in the arena can lift up aswell, I don’t really see any damage to it

Thinking more the thing that’s glowing blue could be the giant diamond pre corruption which would made sense

[spark sonnet]

I dont know if I can handle series, I can barely handle the darker cut scenes

[lusty merlin]

Yeah another shot! So it looks like the building can detach itself on its own, I guess the one we see ingame happened when something went wrong, the beam of light is also misisng too which is

[hushed steeple]

Excited to see the storylines for sure

[lusty merlin]

I personally really enjoy it! Sky has already had some darker themes they were just more subtle ingame, even then I feel the ones we will see in the full realse won’t linger for too long

[glacial storm]

Oh this is gonna hit me in the feels

[lusty merlin]

Also krill moment, so this means this takes place during the war cuz of the soldiers weapons

[spark sonnet]

Oh I love it I’m just a crybaby lol! On my first play through as stuff was getting darker I was like, ummmm am I playing the same game as everyone else??

Also I’m new to the lore pages, where should I go for good reading 👀

[boreal marsh]

Wait so the arena thing is in wasteland?

[lusty merlin]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/12XSkaMV_5UYG-an_Qo37ItyKP6GaqBBA6iRqBVE2qck/edit has the super basic stuff but here, this is basiclly the stuff ingame that has more solidevidence

[lusty merlin]

No I definitely think it’s eden, the buildings look similar, the 2nd image is the wasteland temple cuz it has the same statues, while eden is in the distance

[boreal marsh]

Yeah I think you’re right it has the same glow

[glacial storm]

Now that we see adults in sky from the teaser, I wonder if they are made up of the same stuff as the skykids or they are just different

[trim mural]

YOU WHAT

also hey tac

[lusty merlin]

Rewatching I think we’re gonna get two story lines possibly, that or maybe flashbacks since we see both of the kids in a younger setting’s one with the manatee and possibly the other kid from the first trailer since this looks like the little guy

And they could possibly converge once we’re caught up on the past

[narrow patrol]

looks like the shipwreck area? the entrance through the left wall, the 3 pipes, the shipwreck (obviously). interesting to see GW in this light and everything in general in the trailer. hyped

[undone harbor]

how long has it been since we were fed this much
years?
also why did they leave the slowmode on this channel is barely alive

[lusty merlin]

I yeah it definitely is shipwreck! I wonder with the kid with the manatee is a refugee or somthing, and based of the trailer idk I’d they make it ::((

Also!! The kid on the first trailer since they appear in this image, I wonder if it is a regular kid. Since in the first one many of us assume it’s the prince or the first child that fell in ushering stargazers memory, which gets confusing cuz we do see voyager or stargazer.

I’ll just think abt that later

[fierce lagoon]

I just came to say I love sky lore and I am currently going insane because I just watched the aurora concert /lh

[lusty merlin]

It’s a lovey concert yeah!

[sharp lichen]

Maybe, but I’m not sure the season order really matters

Like , for example Shattering was intended to be there from the start

[fierce lagoon]

I wonder if someone compiled any theories that were brought up in this channel

[lusty merlin]

This is a stretch but like I wonder if this is an older version of vault? There’s massive bookshelves lining the walls, yet there’s also windows which vault doesn’t really have from what we see ingame. I wonder if this is a teacher guiding students how to control light

[sharp lichen]

Where did you get this from???????

[lusty merlin]

New trailer dropped :3

I WAS HESITANT TO SAY THAT CUZ IDK IF THATS MY FAVORTISM TAKING OVER BUT I ALSO THOUGHT THAT

[solid arch]

I just saw the trailer and immediatly rushed over here to see that the chat has already been well aware about thisb

[sharp lichen]

My god am I doing a frame by frame analysis

[solid arch]

Them theories are gonna be wild on YouTube I swear

[lusty merlin]

Maybe! I wonder if it’s somewhat like a learning to survive

[fierce lagoon]

I lowkey thought that was valley 😭 It just kind of clicked as soon as I saw that mesh-like window

[lusty merlin]

This one? I 100% think it’s eden since it seems to be very high in the clouds talked about it earlier if you scroll up

[undone harbor]

it reminds me of that part with the winged light in the valley elder maze?

[lusty merlin]

It would be cool if it’s valley but also I know forest has those windows too, yet the building is also big so like, h guess we’ll see

[fierce lagoon]

Yeah I think the color schemes made me think it was valley

[lusty merlin]

Realized this is the same person in the scene were they’re controlling light!!

[hushed steeple]

Definitely an Arc reactor and tony stark is Alive…

[trim mural]

i noticed in the trailer this soldier didn’t have any insignia on their shield so maybe it predates the war?

the lighting was bad to see on my phone so correct me if i’m wrong

[lusty merlin]

Wait looking outside it could be an old building in the forest caves cuz there’s a ton of rock surrounding it

[fierce lagoon]

oooo krills

[lusty merlin]

Mm it might be be the angle I can try to get another one cuz ik the sheild turns

Looks like the sun sheild cuz there are more facets which the sun sheild has, diamond sheild points would drag lower

[spark sonnet]

I just wanna say I love how nerdy you all are /affectionate

[fierce lagoon]

Is it general consensus that this is Eden or am I missing something

[lusty merlin]

Nah it’s definitely the wasteland temple, same statues and all cuz the temple has the same statue ontop

[trim mural]

someone ate the eden beam /j

[karmic river]

Idk what caused the war, I'm not very versed in the Lore of Sky

[lusty merlin]

We can see eden in the distance cuz the thick clouds don’t block it

[scenic remnant]

This right here has gotten me seriously intrigued.

[sharp lichen]

1. This is definitely in Wasteland, with a floating Eden, perhaps later in the series?

2. This appears to be a darkstone pendant of sorts.

3. This person’s arm seems to be corrupted by darkstone, which makes it possible they’re dying.

4. There are many places where this could be, either the Boogie Cave in Isle, or the Prairie Caves

5. A version of Shipwreck with Eden still floating, but there’s no corruption

6. There are precious few characters in Sky that have red capes, which makes me think it’s a spirit we haven’t seen

7. This is likely the final Vault area, right before Eden

8. A krill charging at high speed, but the rain makes me think it’s before the war

9. The red robes makes me think it’s an original, new place, or somewhere in Valley perhaps

[lusty merlin]

It’s never really confirmed on why but all we know it’s a civil war since it’s ancestor vs ancestor in canon

[fierce lagoon]

does feel like it considering what’s on this skykid’s arm

[frigid tinsel]

I see lorechat is having a category 9 autism event

[lusty merlin]

Reminds me of wonded warriors scar on their mask, same crystal thing

[sharp lichen]

I haven’t seen this level since Shattering first released

[fierce lagoon]

as someone with autism I am going insane please help me

[trim mural]

that shot of the krill zooming by was terrifying

[frigid tinsel]

krill are fast

[spark sonnet]

Every time I watch an Aurora concert I’m reinvigorated to fit all the lore together

[scenic remnant]

This makes me feel so sad...

[sharp lichen]

I still think it’s way before “The Seed” part in Aurora, unless the rain is darkness

[fierce lagoon]

It does because it immediately reminded me of what happens to our skykids in eden

[scenic remnant]

Manatee Plushie 🥹🥹🥹

[frigid tinsel]

actual real manatee
the mouth :3

[fierce lagoon]

and it doesn’t help how some statues depict skykids trying to protect each other

[spark sonnet]

Brb sobbing

[dusk marlin]

Can't get over it

[novel marten]

😳

[fierce lagoon]

hehe krill

[scenic remnant]

Krill go brrrrrrrr

[hushed steeple]

After seeing golden wasteland today, we know who won those battles

[frigid tinsel]

thinking we'll follow the kid but could be over time and their hair grows longer

[lusty merlin]

Ya definitely outside of wasteland temple, the amount of smog and fox would just hide it

[karmic river]

I know the Krill is called Dark Dragon in game, but it definitely looks more like a Shrimp or Krill than the usual dragons in fiction

[lusty merlin]

Yaya I agree

[hushed steeple]

But what’s gonna be interesting and exciting to see happens is everything turns back into light creatures and all the lands are restored back if not better than now, especially wasteland.

[fierce lagoon]

Aurora concert was such a lore overload moment for me because I didn’t even know skykids would do such things(specifically valley/warrior part)😭 and to imagine now mantas are mainly our helpers especially when it comes to transporting

[novel marten]

The Seed memories intensify

[hushed steeple]

Aurora and goku and vigeta gonna help rebuild everything 😂

[fierce lagoon]

The seed was insane I was overwhelmed by it but it was an amazing experience nonetheless

[novel marten]

Building it like fortnite 🤣

[karmic river]

Why do I think that the Dark Dragons aka Krill were the first things to be corrupted or I'm just thinking of Loz breath of the wild/tears of the kingdom lore

[hushed steeple]

John cena gonna help, but he won’t be seen much 😆

[novel marten]

But when the world needed him most, he vanished

[hushed steeple]

[fierce lagoon]

I forgot if eden had an elder or not

[novel marten]

Technically yes, he was the king; but he can’t be spoken to like the other elders

[fierce lagoon]

Ah I see

[novel marten]

You’ll see Eden elder in more beta art

[fierce lagoon]

OH I just remembered the picture

[karmic river]

I think The Isle Elder disagreed with the other elders especially the Eden Elder aka the King's plan to use the Dark Water but that's just me

[fierce lagoon]

what would the dark water be used for

[novel marten]

Well at least one spirit drinks it

[lusty merlin]

Important note but the beam we usually see from eden is gone so that possibly means the beam is rare or it requires certain conditions since we go see the beam in prophecy murals

[hushed steeple]

We have seasonal events that are supposed to sometimes be lore related, and since we’re getting a show, it’s gonna be interesting how each upcoming season will have some kind of connection and that the storyline will connect and make sense.

[fierce lagoon]

I forgot about the beam I thought it was a given 😭😭

[novel marten]

Perhaps it could be a refraction from the crystals?

[lusty merlin]

Maybe, though ingame it definitely comes from the diamond spewing it out yet that’s when it’s in the corruption stage, trying to think why it would in prophecy

[novel marten]

It’s part of the prophecy

[fierce lagoon]

makes sense tbh

[lusty merlin]

But it’s not seen in the trailer so I guess this is before prophecy?

[trim mural]

i've seen a few hairstyles in the past teasers i'd love to see in future seasons

[karmic river]

Idk exactly what they would use the Dark Water for, I just think the Isle Elder probably got a bad feeling from the use of the dark water used from the other elders

[hushed steeple]

Yes exactly, the cosmetics we have now, are all from the spirits themselves, so we can definitely get some new characters in the show that we never seen like as if it’s from a new seasonal event…

[sharp lichen]

I honestly think the Eden Elder won’t appear in this animation, at least not directly

[trim mural]

won't happen, but imagine an entire episode dedicated to the prophecy kid completing all the trials

[hushed steeple]

New episode can have some new characters from an upcoming season even so…

[novel marten]

Animators when they have to make realistic action in trials

[hushed steeple]

Actually, would be interesting to see Aang, katara, and the rest of the gang showing us airbending 😂

[fierce lagoon]

Where exactly would orbit even be located though

[hushed steeple]

Orbit would be where it’s always been, outer space and we fly straight into the sun 🌞

[sharp lichen]

Some say they would appear as a major/main character, but I think it’ll follow the lives of ordinary Ancestor children. The Eden Elder, if they would be a Skykid, would be much shorter than everyone else, and they would look at least a bit different.

Also, with it being called “the two embers”, I think it’ll follow the adventures of baldy and ouppielover

[fierce lagoon]

Just clicked I keep being reminded of eden with this but I also remember a structure near the end of orbit and I wonder if it’s related at all to this

Like remember that one castle-like structure you see when you ascend? It looked pretty similar to the one in the trailer so

[lusty merlin]

Think that’s because there’s no clouds fully blocking our view

[fierce lagoon]

I’m not exactly sure yet but it could be possible

[earnest briar]

Oh you have no idea. Lorechat will never recover from this. It's autism all the way down and nobody's getting out.

[hushed steeple]

We can’t make sense of everything we see, just have to keep an open mind

[trim mural]

isn't vault embedded into the eden mountain itself?

[lusty merlin]

I think it is since when we come out we’re pretty high up already

[fierce lagoon]

ah that’s also a thing

[sharp lichen]

I wonder what the soundtrack for it was? All the other music for this stuff was remixes of the main theme, but this sounds like an expedited version of “The Island Above the Clouds”: https://youtu.be/koU_xuoc4WQ?si=DTFNn5VoFFVdHxPn

I honestly think this is the “very top” of Eden in game. AKA, the original spot for the Eden Diamond

In the first shot, we see a large castle floating above a blue glowing thing with buildings surrounding it

[hushed steeple]

Advanced Technology

[sharp lichen]

I think that circular “hall” building is where the Eden Diamond was being built, and that’s why there’s no beam. It’s being absorbed by all the darkstone

[hushed steeple]

Literally floating castle…

[fierce lagoon]

😭 surely these aren’t here for no reason right or could they just be symbolic

[lusty merlin]

Just realized this but same kid, clothes, seal, and all, also the same one in the shipwreck scene

[hushed steeple]

The castle is broken and it’s in orbit…

[lusty merlin]

Since it can detach normally seen in this trailer, the broken one we see couldve happened when Somthing went wrong

[rustic glen]

just saw the trailer and i can't be more excited

[fierce lagoon]

I mainly thought it could be connected considering that the broken structure is floating right above a circular one like the one we’ve seen in the trailer

[sharp lichen]

Hasn’t it always?

[sharp lichen]

I think darkstone/ cyan light being used to make things float was experimented beforehand in Valley, then taken to its extreme by lifting the Eden Temple to the sky to make room for the Diamond

[lusty merlin]

Maybe, I’m more on the idea the diamond was already there but that also works

[rustic glen]

Maybe the detachable castle is the actual version of the ark from the concept art?

Originally the ark was planned to carry the ancestors to orbit, but maybe they changed it to this detachable castle that can potentially float all the way to megabird?

[lusty merlin]

Since we see the kid playing on shipwreck I feel that theory kinda falls apart? since the would mean some were left behind yet the kid seems to be enjoy playing and not really caring

[sharp lichen]

My question is, where? That circular hall seems to be a workshop of sorts, and the blue glow is probably coming from darkstone

Maybe it’s still being built as the time of the show

[rustic glen]

Not saying that in-lore the ancestors made an ark and then changed it to the floating castle. I'm saying that the devs changed the concept

[lusty merlin]

Inside the building where the glow comes from

[rustic glen]

Maybe they are just not boarding people at the moment/the project isn't finished

[fierce lagoon]

I just hope mine is wrong so I can stop looking at those two structures (floating castle near orbit and one right above the blue light in trailer) as resembling each other 😭 It keeps dwelling on my mind because of how eerily close the shapes look

[hushed steeple]

Keep in mind, we are “children” in sky, we also have a “story” as well, especially when we drop out of the sky…

[frigid tinsel]

it screws in!??

[sharp lichen]

I guess I could see it, actually

The Ancestors tried to use the Eden beam for their own gain, but when it shattered, the diamond became worthless at holding light and let the beam go

[lusty merlin]

That would be sick to see though!

[rustic glen]

my reaction exactly

[sharp lichen]

I think it’s more of a Ganondorf making Hyrule Castle rise into the sky

[hushed steeple]

A giant screw for a building huh, definitely getting interesting, must be from Toy Story …. 😆

[lusty merlin]

Since it screws back in that means it’s intentional the castle can come up and down

[fierce lagoon]

Because then again the floating islands in the trailer were surrounded in clouds and during the orbit travel sequence we do see it around us as well,, trying to see if it would make any sense though- did that part detach itself somehow or did something go wrong and it just ended up crumbling

[frigid tinsel]

Eden go boom

[lusty merlin]

Eden looks fine in the trailer, it could be darkstone from the blue glow seen in one of the screenshots

[hushed steeple]

Yes the castle spinning seems kinda weird, everyone in it would be dizzy 🥴

[lusty merlin]

It’s probably only done to screw it in and out

[hushed steeple]

It’s definitely a spaceship…😆

[lusty merlin]

I feel it wouldn’t be fast more like a slow turn, the size of it would also make it easier to not get dizzy

[pallid dust]

The blue glow indicates that the darkness has not yet reached its apogee and the crystal is not infected. But if you look closely, you can see smoke and light, as if something is burning there.

[fierce lagoon]

is it a must for it to be like a screw or could it also resemble a magnet more?

[frigid tinsel]

Maybe it doesn’t need to spin to latch in, just fits in like joints

[lusty merlin]

A screw in is cooler but a magnet can definitely work too

[lusty merlin]

Yeah I thought there were like very tiny fires happening but idk if that was my imagination , still don’t know tbh

:<

[frigid tinsel]

:3

[lusty merlin]

Yeah it’s always been a wall but it’s just insanely hard to see it ingame from the fog

[frigid tinsel]

This messes with the timeline

[fierce lagoon]

at least the three pipes are there, otherwise I don’t see those pipes either

[lusty merlin]

I am very much reaching but I thought these were small fires when I rewatched, same goes for the smoke

[pallid dust]

Indeed, that is, there are no pipes from Eden. I think that these pipes lead exactly there because they continue at the temple

[bitter ore]

Did anyone else notice the crystals on the person’s arm, It seems to be some sort of disease or infection maybe

[fierce lagoon]

funny orb….

[quick jasper]

this might be forest temple? reminds me of the part with many doors that open after the cutscene

[lusty merlin]

Looks like a teacher and students, then again I don’t think it’s valley since it looks it they’re in a sort of cave looking outside in an earlier scene

[fierce lagoon]

is that why forest elder snatches the flame from us😭

[lusty merlin]

Yeah I’m more inclined to think it’s Forest as they’ve shown to have buildings in the caves

[sharp lichen]

NOOOOO

[lusty merlin]

I don’t think this is related to it at all . Forest elder snatched our light cuz they wanted to build somthing after not being able too for so long, which I get. If I’ve been stuck in a limbo for god know show long and couldn’t draw, and suddenly I was able too if snatch that opportunity too

[bitter ore]

I think this area might be the wasteland temple
Sorry I’m just so excited

[lusty merlin]

It definitely is, same statues and all

The somwhat red glow makes me worried what happened though

[sharp lichen]

I think as the Eden Diamond was being worked on, the rest of the mountain was ignored

[lusty merlin]

Possibly, though I feel they wouldn’t outright ignore something like a fire but that’s just me

[sharp lichen]

I think it’s the same one that wounded the Wounded Warrior

[fierce lagoon]

😭 trying this again cus I think ik what the issue was earlier but orbit really has me thinking with these rn
Like are these related in any way? What exactly are they to begin with

and the lower half too dizzy

[fluid lagoon]

i thought that was the same kind of seal thats in the Prarie Peaks area

[fierce lagoon]

Like it’s so conveniently shaped like this I don’t know what to make of it but I also don’t know how to explain it for them to be connected in any way

[cobalt palm]

New video new lore!

[bitter ore]

I’m actually freaking out right now, I’m so excited
The lore

https://tenor.com/view/markiplier-the-lore-game-theory-brain-explosion-gif-26749218

[fierce lagoon]

more lore yay

[cobalt palm]

Looks a little like getting hit by shards to me

[tall basin]

what do you guys think the castle in the sky/space is in the ending of the game?

[bitter topaz]

I was thinking more along the lines of how darkness drains light from Skykids and causes them to crystalize

[fierce lagoon]

That’s what I’ve been saying 😭 I feel like it’s all connected somehow
I’m not sure how they’d be connected though, I’m mainly looking at the shapes

[cobalt palm]

Just spotted a manatee is following the character hopping on the stepping stones by the shipwreck

[bitter topaz]

The big castle above the clouds is definitely Eden before or during a downfall

[cobalt palm]

Totally! I wonder if the shards of Eden, and light infused darkstone affected the ancestors (pre spirit form) as it does skykids

We briefly see ponytail in this scene too, could be a different character, but they may be using hair style as a distinctive character identifier

[bitter topaz]

Yeah! It might have had to have been on a bigger scale if we want to assume the Elders had a whole lot more control over light and spirits as opposed to Skykids, that might've been what a whole "darkness war" was about: taking down the Elders so darkness can thrive

[sharp lichen]

I’m think they’re the same castle

[cobalt palm]

I managed to get the frame that flashes past the characters with spears, it does appear to be a krill

I wonder if this story will be the story of the first war, or when the krill are first unleashed

[fierce lagoon]

It’s definitely a krill, it’s resembles one too much for it to not be

I wonder if krills were mainly in eden and they somehow got into the wasteland areas?

[bitter topaz]

I totally see that! Especially with this character which really looks like Hide n' Seek Pioneer

[fierce lagoon]

omg hide and seek pioneer

[bitter topaz]

I mean come on!

[cobalt palm]

The og cheeb!

One thing we haven't seen is any Elders... Could be trailer, could be because they are "rare" compared to other ancestors, or it could be they are all busy controlling the Eden Diamond

[bitter topaz]

Really debating with myself about this guy though. Not an elder?

I could totally get they're all busy trying to "hold down the fort," that would make the 6th shard memory make a lot of sense

[cobalt palm]

I wonder if we are, like Sky, going to see the intimate stories of regular ancestors, while an epic other story is happening in the background, and we don't see that directly but see the fallout of what that did to everyday folk.

[robust wolf]

well the enchantment spirits are also shown to manipulate light so it could be maybe,, like a priest of some kind?? idk

[bitter topaz]

With the style TGC likes to take with things around lore... I can definitely see that

[lusty merlin]

I can definitely see that being the story plot

Though I wouldn’t mind like ONE elder cameo, just one

[cobalt palm]

I wonder if that is the character shown here
Possibly vault elder, but I wonder if that is just a vault spirit, possibly a younger levetating or telekinesis spirit

[lusty merlin]

I think this is the same figure in the image above, same robe and all

Elders have a glowing diamond on their chests seen on the front and back, this spirit doesn’t

[cobalt palm]

I would love the ending cliffhanger to be a slow motion rendition of the 6th shattering memory, which leads to the next season

[robust wolf]

two embers is definitely taking place during the fallout before or during eden’s collapse imo

excited to see more of wasteland’s war on a more firsthand scale too. elaborating on what the seed showed us

[robust wolf]

OH THATD BE SO SICK

[fierce lagoon]

If it’s during the fallout of eden would it explain the orbit sequence with its structures breaking down?
Even the structures themselves seems to bear resemblance to the ones in the trailer

[lusty merlin]

Yeah I’d say the trailer is definitely pre eden destruction, though since it seems some scenes are in the past, later episodes could show it getting worse

[steel wigeon]

so that trailer huh?

[sharp lichen]

I honestly think it takes place over quite a long time, but it would of course depend on how long the actual tv show is

[chrome walrus]

I think so too!! also to me this looks a lot like the Eden structure before it collapsed I haven't really seen anywhere in the game with this structure??? and also the fact its high from the clouds so yeah very pre destruction eden vibes

[earnest briar]

Dusk Dusk Dusk please I want to see tired old warrior grandparent shielding a tiny Skiddo from a Krill and getting hurt because of it but it's worth it to them because the Skid is safe

This guy can fit so much self-sacrifice in them it's insane

[tepid veldt]

seeing this made me think of salem’s pre wasteland wasteland drawing and it makes me so sad i wanna go back

[sharp lichen]

I think it’s the “workshop” where the Eden Diamond in PNR was created, since you see the blue glow from all the darkness tech

As for the show, I’m very excited

2024 is looking to be a very impactful year for Sky, and I can’t wait for what comes next, whether it be a grand revelation about the fall of the kingdom or a simple tale of two children

[hushed steeple]

a grand revelation about the fall of the kingdom

You know, this kind of reminds me of that one snippet of backstory lore we get at the very beginning the game (and then is basically never directly addressed again 💀)

“They built a home in the clouds… If only they had listened.”

[robust wolf]

yeah i thought at first that maybe that was the coliseum but given the blue tones i think eden is more likely

[lusty merlin]

Dropping this here realized the krill with the red light means it’s charging towards something and that makes me just a little nervous

[rugged jackal]

Man… I haven’t been here in a while
Did I miss anything important since Shattering? Trailer got some of my lore senses back

[lusty merlin]

Haha wouldn’t it be funny if it’s distracting the krill to save the soldiers haha

[lusty merlin]

Theres the aurora concert, remeberance and the trailer mainly, passage too I guess

[rugged jackal]

From what I’ve seen, it’s basically more confirmation there was a war and the consequences, right?

[hallow pilot]

Where did y’all get the images?

[lusty merlin]

Yep

[lusty merlin]

New trailer, check pins 📌

[hallow pilot]

Ok Ty!

[quick jasper]

i think animated elder content would kill me dead i wanna see it so bad

[hushed steeple]

“With the stars united, our light was infinite. But darkness came, and the stars fell. Together, the fallen stars made a new home in the clouds. If only they had listened…”

This is the first part of what the intro cutscene says when you first start Sky. Do you think T2E could relate to this? 👀

[lusty merlin]

I want high res elders SO BAD

[sly isle]

Hey all! I see everyone is excited about the new trailer. 😅 I'm just a random sky kid who played the game, but after seeing the embers trailer I became more interested in the lore of Sky. Are there any YouTube channels / resources / anything that you recommend to someone who wants to learn about the lore? I'd love to help find details and easter eggs in the series when it comes out and I'd love to research this topic, but... Where to begin?

[hushed steeple]

I’ve always been really interested in what the intro cutscene could mean, but it was like, never directly addressed again 💀

[lusty merlin]

There’s this doc that gives like the most basic things involving the story, fair warning though that sky lore is very ambiguous and a lot of stuff we discuss leans into more speculation than really evidence

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

[sly isle]

Oh wow, thank you!

[lusty merlin]

Where did the “if only they have listened.” Part come from? As far as I know the current intro doesn’t have that

Edit i meant Intro not trailer

[lusty merlin]

But ya I definitely think it’s related, maybe we get more insight to it when the series drops

[sharp lichen]

They actually changed that in the new versions

[sharp lichen]

That soldier is dead

[lusty merlin]

I don’t think it’s a soldier though personally, the krill is really high up and there’s a ton of other soldiers below do it could be focused on something more important

[sharp lichen]

The perspective is very odd I will say like the camera is at the ancestor’s feet??

It is charging at something, maybe a graphic human death would be too off-putting so instead they have a graphic light creature death

[lusty merlin]

I don’t think it’s a light creature either, like concidering how we get krills attention in game you have to be very close, which would mean the target was closer and made distance and the krill chaced after

Idk I’m overthinking, but I have a sinking feeling whoever the target is someone or something important

[sharp lichen]

DONT. YOU. DARE.

[lusty merlin]

I DO DARE. Do I think it’s ? A small part of me does!!! And I don’t like it!!

[sharp lichen]

On Tsadi Saturday as well?? Why!?

[rugged jackal]

Maybe that’s why he seems injured or tired in his cutscene…

[lusty merlin]

Like, krill about to go for soldiers, gets krills attention and saves their soldiers, krill lunges

Pure speculation but that’s what makes the most sence to me

[misty saddle]

The animated series will have lore?

wooooo yaaay

[lusty merlin]

I will be crushed if that turns out or be the case

[simple elk]

Hey everyone! Just a concert discussion.
I love every song in concert but I am not able to figure out the stories depicted through animation for each song. Can anyone share their theories as to what the animations could be telling?

[hushed steeple]

Did they??? What does it say now??

[lusty merlin]

Here

*“All are given breath by starlight.
The first of us lived in joy that we would one day return to the stars.
Together, we built a Kingdom in the clouds.
We connected the seven realms with the power of starlight.
But then the sky went dark, and our Kingdom shattered.
Many of us are still trapped in these realms.

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

[hushed steeple]

Please turn on ping for me next time!! I almost didn’t see your messages 😅😅

[sharp lichen]

Everything has lore

[lusty merlin]

Ah sorry, I’m just very used to not pinging

[long dragon]

[misty saddle]

Do ylu guys think that next season is going to be a lore season?

[lusty merlin]

Gotta wait and see

[misty saddle]

[hushed steeple]

Hello everyone. Have you seen the new trailer for the Sky animation series? Do you think it could be a prequel? Where could we discover the truth about the origin and cause of King Eden?

[hallow pilot]

1 The girl has messy hair and seems a bit dirty, I guess she’s got caught in the war and had to run away and is looking for shelter (probably for days).
Since she seems to be alone, she’s probably an horfan and
she just was able to save the fam pet or they befriended each other on the way, or she got separated from their family.
2-3 I think the people in red capes are professors ( and maybe spoilers of possible season) of the same school or different but teachers and students have a dress code. And they’re probably located in valley.

[lusty merlin]

The concert mainly solidify’s things we knew

Runaway shoes ancestors possibly moving to the kingdom

Miner shows the conditions of the mining industry in forest

Warrior of love in the concert shows the capturing of mantas, which is confirmed to be used in process of creating a material called darkstone (think of it as sky’s power source)

Seed of hope shows the war in wasteland was a civil war

[hushed steeple]

OMG this new version is a lot less cryptic/vague than the old one :O

I was quoting the old one, that’s the one that said “If only they had listened…”

The original one said:
“With the stars united, our light was infinite. But darkness came, and the stars fell. Together, the fallen stars made a new home in the clouds. If only they had listened…
A long time has passed. Now, I call to you. Wake up, child. Bring our lost stars home.”

[sharp lichen]

Here:

The Runaway part is very self-explanatory, just a grassy version of Isle

All is Soft Inside has workers mining for a darkstone, we see this darkstone in many places such as doors.

Warrior has ancestor spirits capturing mantas. For us, we can use our candle to light the darkstone, but the ancestor spirits had to use other ways.

Seed has a war break out due to this ethical dilemma. There is also the teal light from Enchantment and Prophecy making a return, as we see it making a hole in the clouds.

[lusty merlin]

It’s definitely a prequel as eden looks to be intact, but also it seems to be during the war too

[lusty merlin]

Oh yeah that’s way more vauge

[sharp lichen]

My thought is that it starts off before the war, and then by the end of the series the war fully breaks it out

It’s more of a literary reason, so that conflict is probably built up over many episodes

[simple elk]

Ah thanks!

[lusty merlin]

Yeah I think that too!

[hallow pilot]

Light creatures also being taken as pets or rides. What if they tried to domesticate the light creatures, but some of them couldn’t be domesticated and corrupted in a diferent way ( void creatures?)

[sharp lichen]

It was there ever since the 0.19.5 version in November 2022: #lore-discussion-spoilers message

[lusty merlin]

Still insane this will be a series, definitely explains why it’s taken awhile

[sly isle]

Off-conversation message, I just have to write it down before I forget:
I quickly read through the doc and some pinned messages. My brain already connected something (maybe it's stupid and completely wrong) So the game's first poem goes like this:

But darkness came, and the stars fell...
Together, the fallen stars made a new home in the clouds.
If only they had listened...
A long time has passed. Now, I call to you. 
Wake up, child.  Bring our lost stars home.```
"Together, the fallen stars made a new home in the clouds."
"Wake up, child. Bring our lost stars home."
And in the game we have to go to eden. In the trailer I didn't see Eden light up in any scene as it does today. And in one scene with the circular clouds and buildings under. Maybe that's Eden (as Nasty speculated). Maybe that was home to some of the ancestors.

[lusty merlin]

It could be you have pet mantas and wild mantas, and wild ones were captured, kinda like how there’s pet horses and wild horses

[hushed steeple]

Please remember to ping me next time tho 😅

[hushed steeple]

@lusty merlin actually mentioned that they changed the intro! Here’s apparently what it says now:

*“All are given breath by starlight.
The first of us lived in joy that we would one day return to the stars.
Together, we built a Kingdom in the clouds.
We connected the seven realms with the power of starlight.
But then the sky went dark, and our Kingdom shattered.
Many of us are still trapped in these realms.

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

[boreal marsh]

What about exhale inhale? Does it show that the darkness was there from the beginning, or rather something made the darkness appear?

[hushed steeple]

why did you straight up copy my message 😭😭

[lusty merlin]

I genuinely have no clue what to make or that segment, only the main four ones (sorry)

[hushed steeple]

I don’t know if I should say this here What’s the lore of @pastel brook’s profile picture?

[sharp lichen]

I actually don’t know if the animation is going to be made by TGC or if they’ll take more of a directorial role, I expect the latter

[sly isle]

The two lines I took out are similar to this version so maybe there's still a chance that Eden was once a home to some.

[lusty merlin]

I think it’s confirmed another studio is animating it, think tgc drafted the story and everything and the studio is animating it

[misty saddle]

“All are given breath by starlight.
The first of us lived in joy that we would one day return to the stars" What in the moth does this mean? Return to the starts? What stars?

[hushed steeple]

Oh yeah, I definitely agree. I think it’s interesting how they changed the intro 👀

[slim compass]

"The first of us lived'' could be considered a reference to the garden of Eden, and they were forced out and could return they died in the war and their spirits will return maybe Eden is not of the earthly realm and they died and went to the 7 realms, 7 continents

[sharp lichen]

It could be a pinned message, let me see

[hushed steeple]

The spirits used to live in the stars. Remember how every time you live a spirit’s memories, they go into your constellations? You’ve helped their spirit return to the stars, afaik

[misty saddle]

So they commited a sin? Or something to get kicked out of there?

[misty saddle]

How they lived in the stars? Where they not physical or what???

[slim compass]

They were in the stars then had to go to the ''clouds'' but why did they leave hmmmmmmmm

[sharp lichen]

It wasn’t a pinned message, but I found it: #general-sky-discussion message

[hushed steeple]

They’re kinda like star people basically, something similar to the skykids we play as afaik?

[slim compass]

"the sky went dark'' so the kingdom they built in the clouds is dependant on the stars light, maybe some link.

[misty saddle]

7 realms.. 7 continents... 7 sins...

[misty saddle]

Whats star people? Sorry i live under a rock lol

[lusty merlin]

Maybe it’s just me but I really don’t think aside from the name, there would be major religious links to sky

[slim compass]

And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son:

And he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the LORD hath cursed. And Lamech lived after he begat Noah five hundred ninety and five years, and begat sons and daughters:

And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy and seven years: and he died.

777 years the father of noah who built the ark to survive the flood

[sharp lichen]

Possibly, but it could just be a coincidence as Vault originally wasn’t a full realm

[ebon cedar]

What is lore?

[hushed steeple]

Basically kinda like the skykids we play as?

Don’t think too deep into it, it’s actually much simpler than you’re probably trying to imagine 😅

They were simply people that had a home in the stars afaik 😅😅

[misty saddle]

what do you mean

[hushed steeple]

This part of the trailer is the castle at the end of waistland
1000000%

[hushed steeple]

baby don’t hurt me /j

[sharp lichen]

In the very early concepts of Sky, I don’t think Vault existed as a realm

If you go in the ||office, there are posters in low resolution detailing the design of every realm except Vault||

[slim compass]

there are boats in every realm of sky, but what would the flood be

[misty saddle]

Oh ...

[sharp lichen]

I think the Home island used to be a lot bigger and more important, until it flooded

[silk tree]

Hey
What informations do we have about the eden king/elder ??

[lusty merlin]

Basically the history and story of a fictional world

[hushed steeple]

Are we sure that we want to incorporate religious aspects into this?

Do we think that TGC would incorporate religious aspects into this?

[slim compass]

Soon it will become the aviary

[misty saddle]

Whats going on whit the manta centipede at vault?

[sharp lichen]

The Eden Elder found in the murals in Eden, the season of Prophecy murals, the final part of the Vault cutscene, and in concept art. We don’t directly see them in-game, but they still seemingly had (or have) a large influence on the world.

[slim compass]

maybe references from stories like noah and the flood as it crosses religions and there was a global flood years and years ago multiple civilizations make reference to

[misty saddle]

Im not sure, i dont think getting inspiration from religions is bad but i dont know

[hushed steeple]

and um, this, apparently…?

#lore-discussion-spoilers message

[slim compass]

there are essentially inert stories that are appreciated by other religions as long as they don't contradict too many things

[sharp lichen]

That’s only fanart unfortunately

[lusty merlin]

I feel there are mild things used like eden but that’s pretty much all I can think of, based off ingame there’s not really a lot of connection’s to other religious stuff but that’s just me

[hushed steeple]

Ah, gotcha.

[slim compass]

I mean... we could just ask TGC

[misty saddle]

I doubt they would answer

[ornate rampart]

OMG OMG OMG

We're actually gonna see Golden Wasteland before the tragedy

[misty saddle]

It was actually golden no way

[slim compass]

now what does that look like to you, I'm a genius

[sharp lichen]

It already looks like a desert

[slim compass]

And before a desert comes an ocean and on the remnants of the ocean is that big ship which is a ____

[boreal marsh]

Everything is already broken so it wouldn’t be really before the tragedy, more like during?

[misty saddle]

A... a.. A ARK

[sharp lichen]

Crashed boat doesn’t automatically mean Noah’s Ark, you know. It could be a reference to the one that hit the iceberg

[slim compass]

BINGO

[hushed steeple]

After reading some more; Are you sure, about the exact message I sent? It seems to have been official content? albeit released for the NetEase servers instead of globally

[ornate rampart]

The storm didnt happen yet, right?

[misty saddle]

[slim compass]

777 the age of Noah's father, and Noah who was told to collect the animals, to save them from the flood caused by sin animals may represent spirits

[sharp lichen]

Everywhere else it looks to be fine, I guess Golden Wasteland was a wasteland from the start.

[rugged jackal]

Looks more like shipwreck to me, the golden containers, the shape of the ship, the wall, and the pipes

[misty saddle]

Wdym i dont understand sorry

[lusty merlin]

I mean the mods on multiple occasions said to steer away from talking about religion so that’s why I’m hesitant to really tie it into sky

Blurred the @ for privacy

[sharp lichen]

Well, shipwreck is located in golden wasteland

[misty saddle]

I dont think tgc want to answer a question regarding religious inspiration

[hushed steeple]

Literally, that’s what I was trying to nudge into them when I asked “Do we think TGC would incorporate religious aspects”??

[sharp lichen]

That specific shot was an official NetEase concert, but they just ripped the images from here: https://twitter.com/iXZhihuiLi/status/1630125947570606083?s=20

[slim compass]

as I said the story of the flood is across multiple civilizations the story of Noah is across at least two religions it's just a story most things in religious books are meant to represent something also, it is inert that's why it's taught to children as a story

[rugged jackal]

Yeah… I was thinking about the later comments about the ark and didn’t know where else to reply

[boreal marsh]

I wouldn’t say everywhere, people look like refugees in some scenes

[lusty merlin]

I think so too

[hushed steeple]

Either way, likely means TGC didn’t take any religious inspiration, at least nothing meaningful. “Inert” or not.

[slim compass]

How the heck are we not supposed to use religion to understand this anyway, death, rebirth, kingdom in the stars, spirits, give me a break

[ornate rampart]

Most likely the series happen at the same time as the event told in The Seed by Aurora

[pastel brook]

dancing around a shooting star, and every beancell remembers what have taken us this far

[misty saddle]

Skybot stop

[misty saddle]

The concept of rebirth and returning "back to the stars (maybe heaven? The original place of where they lived? Where they were created?)

[hushed steeple]

ok bro, we’re not even meant to be arguing in this channel in general 💀

[sharp lichen]

But at least the “earlier” realms, like Isle and Prairie, look fine.

Compare grassland Isle to desert isle

[misty saddle]

Maybe they didnt enter the conflict yet

[slim compass]

I'm arguing with TGC lol

[ornate rampart]

wrong channel for that, I think

[lusty merlin]

Isles condition is interesting though, it’s a full on desert yet Prarie is as green as ever

[boreal marsh]

Also there was snow? In the concert scene

[misty saddle]

Isle and prairie dont look that futuristic or urban as wasteland or valley, maybe they didnt had the resources to get to the war yet

[lusty merlin]

For valley yes but that’s the only place

[slim compass]

In every interaction with spirits you have to light there statues at the end so light gives them life, if they could ''breathe'' through light then what caused the stars to go dark, this world is missing an antagonist.

[ornate rampart]

I think they meant how Isle look like during Runaway song in the concert

[lusty merlin]

I don’t think a game like sky needs one

[slim compass]

then what are the dark dragons for?

[misty saddle]

Taking light away. Killing

[lusty merlin]

Confirmed corrupted creatures

By atagonist I mean like a main atagonist that’s the source of all the bad and all

[slim compass]

Who put them there

[misty saddle]

War

[sharp lichen]

We also see a bit of trees in Isle, perhaps desertification

Another theory of mine is that Isle is so far away from Eden that time progresses, albeit very slowly. So, over hundreds of years, it becomes more barren

[lusty merlin]

I can see that yeah!

[modest totem]

Alef (former King, aka Resh) is often seen as the villain

[slim compass]

15,000 people used to live in Golden Wasteland...now it's a ghost town

[hushed steeple]

antagonist also doesn’t need to mean villain

[misty saddle]

Why peoplw name them resh and alef? From where are those names?

[sharp lichen]

In the sense that they caused the darkness, they could be an antagonist. It depends on how you assign blame.

But villain? I don’t think they had evil intentions

[rugged jackal]

Wait hold on time is stopped? What did I miss??

[lusty merlin]

Yeah I realized that as I sent the message

[slim compass]

hmmm yes, also the exciting prospect of light dragons

[sharp lichen]

Old concept art names for the Eden Elder, now lo longer canon

[misty saddle]

Oh ok

[hushed steeple]

WHAT ⁉️⁉️⁉️

[lusty merlin]

I lean more that they had good intentions but it just went really not good or how they hoped they would

[misty saddle]

Light krill🦐

[slim compass]

We know there was a battle, so there were armies, I think the invasion happened in Valley

[sharp lichen]

It’s all related to my theory that the Eye of Eden acts like a black hole.

Black holes have an effect in which the closer you go to it, the more time warps to the observer.

It seems to work in a more simplified level in Sky. Entire realms are seemingly frozen in time, with places like Valley having eternal sunsets. Isle of Dawn, being far away, isn’t affected as much, so it’s just slowed down. The Prairie Peaks have a very similar time cycle to ours, just sped up, because they’re even farther away. And Home is so far out that time progresses as normal

[slim compass]

The dark dragons take light, they need it, they are victims

[misty saddle]

Who corrupted them then

[lusty merlin]

I also think of that! Needing light so they can survive any maybe lessen the corruption

[robust wolf]

wait thats actually such a cool theory

[rugged jackal]

That’s really interesting! How do you think the passages work then?

[slim compass]

This is what will answer all of this

[misty saddle]

That sounds actually cool

[robust wolf]

well if time still moves(albeit slower or faster) in places like isle, forest and prairie it makes sense for there to still be a nighttime in those areas no?

[boreal marsh]

But look here is that snow or sand ?

[lusty merlin]

Definitely sand just looks like snow from the lighting (and snow wouldn’t really make much sence)

[sharp lichen]

Yes, but you still have to wait an extremely long time for night (in the story, in the game it just cuts to black for our convenience)

[robust wolf]

definitely sand, it’s isle

[slim compass]

Sand, this is helpful, maybe it means the tide is too far out, it must have been closer

[sharp lichen]

I believe it’s the same sand used in the Sanctuary Islands (the beach sand)

So maybe it could’ve been a massive tide

[slim compass]

I think the original beach is the rock wall you fly above in dawn

[robust wolf]

i wonder a lot what AURORA’s significance in the lore is as well. it’s established that she’s a deity of some kind and that she kind of stands as a representation of all creatures of light

[misty saddle]

No way i would love to pay to get represented as a god in a game

[slim compass]

hmm the stars fell as did the spirits so maybe the stars are people "among the stars" means among all the other spirits

[gentle seal]

Where is this answer from? Curious sky kid here!
Link to interview would be awesome

[inland cliff]

she literally summons the megabird orb by the palm of her hand

[lusty merlin]

I see her more as a storyteller. I personally think a real life person being a deity in a video game wouldn’t make too much sence

[misty saddle]

WHAT MEGABIRD ORB? WHAT I MISSED?

[lusty merlin]

I think i linked it in the past but I’ll try to find it!

[robust wolf]

the messages aurora conveys through her music is matched almost identically by sky’s philosophy so it makes a lot of sense for her to have significance within the story itself. maybe it’s less that she’s a tangible deity and more that she’s an embodiment of light itself, and how that light was shunned in favor of more efficient things that eventually caused the demise of the entire kingdom

[boreal marsh]

But that wouldn’t make sense because in the twitch trailer isle was lush green and without sand

[slim compass]

Here it says Aurora called you to bring the stars home, Aurora being from Norway is probably named after the aurora borealis, which is caused by light hitting our magnetosphere, perhaps light here is spirits the spirits falling from the stars to the kingdom of the clouds

[gentle seal]

Thank you so much!
Completely fine if you can’t find it, dm me if you do though!

[boreal marsh]

By stars I think they mean the elders

[lusty merlin]

Here! https://www.thatskygame.com/news/sky-2nd-anniversary-livestream-recap just gotta scroll down for awhile but you’ll find that section screenshotted (o just saw your message above)

[misty saddle]

What megabird orb?

[slim compass]

Maybe Aurora's mother first created Sky and Aurora herself was born to be apart of the lore of the game

[gentle seal]

Amazing! Thank you so much!
(Totally okay don’t worry, have a good one!! )

[rugged jackal]

Maybe she is Megabird! Maybe she wanted to see her children in person. She knows we like music and lore, so tells the stories of spirits we may never see otherwise.
Definitely just a kinda weird idea though
Alternate theory: Messenger of or close to the Megabird

[robust wolf]

it’s rare that you see any actual plantlife in sky aside from grass or dark plants or fossilized(?) trees. i wonder if the eden incident wiped out all life, and what little we see in present day sky is the landscape trying to heal (like the grass in prairie)

[misty saddle]

WHAT

[inland cliff]

After runaway there’s a gigantic orb behind Auroras , in the next coliseum scene

[robust wolf]

i don’t know much about megabird, what’s the lore behind that

[lusty merlin]

Can definitely see that! There’s a ton of animals yet little differnce in foliage

[misty saddle]

Is that canonically megabird orb?

[slim compass]

Also there is jellyfish in most realms, perhaps from the flood

[sharp lichen]

Megabird seems to be an originator/progenitor of The Light, an all-encompassing force which consists of all light in the world.

The most prominent place we see it as a massive supercluster of light in the game at the end credits. It’s also seen in Orbit and the Forgotten Ark murals.

[lusty merlin]

No it’s just theory

[robust wolf]

yeah i think the creatures returned slowly over time as the fallout from eden’s eye reduced, and eventually skykids came along

[inland cliff]

no one confirmed it yet , i think so

[misty saddle]

We go to eden in aurora...

[slim compass]

Home is going to become the aviary, maybe for the bird

[robust wolf]

ohhhh i see. yk i can definitely envision aurora being some kind of iteration of the megabird then, an otherworldly entity given a voice

[pastel brook]

just like the moth I don't know where to go

[sharp lichen]

I don’t think home will become aviary, rather it’ll be a second version of home

[earnest briar]

Wait I went to backread to get context why are people trying to connect Christianity to Sky??? Guys not every game has to be inspired by the T-pose guy religion.

[robust wolf]

HUH??

[sharp lichen]

Sky Children* of the Light

And all the kingdoms have fallen with the spirits

[misty saddle]

Aurora is megabirds messenger since megabird itself is a supernatural being that only exists in a special plane of existence / is complety ethereal

[rugged jackal]

I’m actually pretty sure TGC said that religion didn’t have a role

[robust wolf]

aurora acting as the megabird’s ambassador to sky’s world… i can definitely see that

[rustic glen]

Maybe not christianity but there's actually biblical similarities to sky's lore. Check out the story of Babel's tower and Eden's creation

[slim compass]

7 realms 7 continents 7 sins, the father of noah lived for 777 years supposedly, Noah built the ark for the great flood caused by sins, he took animals on the ark, (spirits)

[misty saddle]

A ark in gw

[slim compass]

hmmmm yes I see, I'm stupid, it all makes sense now

[slim compass]

There is literally an ark in the game

[robust wolf]

… i mean not to bring too much religious symbolism into the story aside from parallels but maybe aurora was a living spirit that protested the commodification of light and had some kind of connection to the megabird, spreading her message through song

and then in death, was given the role of Light’s ambassador

[misty saddle]

I think she was megabird messenger

[earnest briar]

The number 7, arks, all that stuff has significance in other cultures and religions you know. Not everything was made a big deal by only Christianity.

[robust wolf]

((i am not religious but i do see parallels between religion and sky and i think its kinda neat))

[slim compass]

yes I have said this scroll up some more

[misty saddle]

Birds sing... aurora sings.

[slim compass]

I need to fly through Sky some more and look at somethings to understand more

[robust wolf]

the four spirits from season of aurora could be people that helped her spread her message in different ways before eden collapsed

[misty saddle]

Also its a bit weird that always aurora is written in all uppercase

[sharp lichen]

Because they’re AURORA

[robust wolf]

its just a trademark thing i think its fun

[misty saddle]

Oh lol

[earnest briar]

Sorry if I seem hostile, I'm not a super big fan of attempts (or interpreted as attempts) to shove the religion that tells me I'm going to go to Honk and burn forever in endless agony for not devoting my entire life and being to some made up sky-dude into games with no connection to them.

[misty saddle]

[robust wolf]

religious parallels don’t inherently mean trying to indoctrinate people into a religion imo (as someone who’s very agnostic). i see religious parallels in a similar light as stories that take inspiration from mythology, cool metaphors

[slim compass]

Well as I've I have explained my interpretation of TGC's implementation of it is that it's inert as they only reference it, I am not forcing religion, we are discussing a mobile game

[earnest briar]

I actually like religious parallels somewhat, I just don't like it when people make it all about said religion instead of the story being told.

[misty saddle]

Megabird is completly ethereal right

[slim compass]

the story has an undeniable religious parralel seen across many religions, life, death, rebirth, spirits light, darkness and kingdom in the stars

[robust wolf]

the story of sky is definitely it’s own thing but it also takes inspiration from multiple places, religious texts included. do i agree with all the “ur going to [honk] for [insert “sin” here]” stuff? no. but do i think biblical symbolism is cool and neat? yeah

[misty saddle]

We only know about it(megabird) in concept art ???? Or is mentioned in the actual game

[earnest briar]

Sorry, I think I'm making this awkward. I'm just. gonna leave now.

[slim compass]

No don't x

[misty saddle]

Sorry

[robust wolf]

megabird’s depicted in murals in the game itself im pretty sure

[misty saddle]

Isnt megabird the whole eden orbit?

[robust wolf]

yyessss(?) yea if megabird is basically just the embodiment of light itself

[misty saddle]

I think is mentionet to be that but im not sure

[rugged jackal]

Offtopic theory: Home is Sky’s world’s equivalent of Point Nemo, which is the point in the ocean furthest from land, which can also be why there are portals to all the realms and why it seems to play by slightly different rules than the rest of the world, and why it’s so small. Aviary may disprove this though.

[misty saddle]

Explain

[slim compass]

I think what's happening is a lot of the lore is added and connected later after they have put a story in the game.

[empty belfry]

I like Nastymolds take on the new trailer tbh. To me it seems like what occured both before after after eden erupted. But i also see it as beofre and after the war. Maybe this will give us a better sky timeline

[robust wolf]

i like the headcanon that game mechanics aside, skykids just fell from the sky at random spots in sky’s kingdom and that dictates things like the calls they adopt and the kind of clothes they wear. fun thing from a story perspective

[empty belfry]

I think this is supported by lore, actually in some way.

[misty saddle]

All spirts fell from the sky? They can have children and performance guide and rythm guide are siblings i think , so they have a diferent mother that other spirits

[inland cliff]

im guessing that although aurora used to have a vessel of a skykid, her spiritual form is very much godlike and she has power to twist and change the people’s mindset through music

Her quest was to spread the words while also bringing new entertainment back in the days but now is to guide the new generation of light that she’ll rule, her Queendom. Much like a replacement of Eden Elder

and that’s how aurora became AURORA

[pastel brook]

It’s okay! You can cry

[slim compass]

Starlight desert has the gloating narcissistic and the Little Prince story is there, does the lack of light mean unhappiness and negative things?

[robust wolf]

and the implications from that that groups of skykids were brought up by the spirits they first came across. i got a little character dude named onion that was brought up by the enchantment spirits

[misty saddle]

Hollow knight, it sounds like hk to me lol

[empty belfry]

I dont think that was ever really properly explained. I dont think sprits or skids have biological parentd so to speak, try referencing angels in All Saints Street, i think it works more like that, plus i think thats also supported by a spirit memory

[misty saddle]

Which one?

[robust wolf]

spirits to me are still kind of enigmas. like it’s evident that they were the first civilization before skykids came along, but its interesting that they still exist and go on about their days alongside skykids after “ascending”

[empty belfry]

I dont rememer their name but i belive the ponytail spirit in isle of dawn showcases them and another spirit finding a newly fallen skid

[sharp lichen]

I think Aviary is going to be somewhere between Isle and Prairie, in that big cloud flying zone

[misty saddle]

Yes

[empty belfry]

I see spirits as skids tbh. Skids in my idea are able to grow and and such but i think they died some sort of true death where their flame went out or something

[sharp lichen]

Siblings could mean they fell at a similar time, I think the spirit society used found family a lot

[misty saddle]

Ive heard people think that the skid is the eden king(???)

[robust wolf]

that also begs the question, were they still living when they found that skykid? and if so, then how were skykids coming into existence before eden wiped everything out?

[empty belfry]

They might be but i dont think ive ever seen any lore support for this other than murals..

[misty saddle]

Maybe betwen home and isle of dawn?

[sharp lichen]

The Eden Elder. There are many theories about it

[robust wolf]

like if skykids were created as this second chance at life post-eden then how come one fell when living spirits were still around

[empty belfry]

Mmh..thats true. Its hard to really say how parents exist in sky but i still find that idea wholesome

[potent sedge]

Maybe the first Skykid was a test?

[sharp lichen]

My theory is that to try to save the declining Ancestor Spirit society, one skykid was sent down to help. But since Skykids’ whole thing is community and working together, they were all alone and couldn’t help

[empty belfry]

Though, in the new trailer, we are shown adult skids and since its canon to sky,,

[misty saddle]

[sharp lichen]

I think those were living spirits, they have the same no-mouth face.

[potent sedge]

Or maybe a way of the ancestors going "better stop this problem now before it's too late" by sending one Skykid, but that Skykid failed or said Skid became the Eden Elder.

[robust wolf]

im certain that the characters seen in the two embers trailer are spirits because none of them are wearing capes or flying by any means

[misty saddle]

What ancestors? Didnt they fall from the stars

[empty belfry]

May have been but that just seems wrong tbh. I view all spirits are dead skids

[sharp lichen]

Gameplay wise, it would perhaps be best after Prairie, since that realm tests social mechanics and Aviary seems to be very social

Either that, or it’s a late-game area given how crowded and overwhelming it is

[rugged jackal]

My headcanon is that children of light have always existed alongside spirits and ancestors, they just got brought back to save the spirits from purgatory, and possibly transformed into skykids

[slim compass]

Skykids go to heaven to join Aurora, and Aurora sends them down to relight the spirits, the game is about a birth, death, rebirth, cycle

[robust wolf]

imo, two embers is gonna be insight to what the kingdom was like before everyone was killed, perhaps even a perspective of what things were like during that apocalypse

[potent sedge]

I like to think that the characters in Sky TTE are in pre-cape world or are just on the cusp of it. Like maybe they'll get their capes at the end

[empty belfry]

Plus we also saw their arm growing some sort of corruption? Im not sure but id take a guess if thats what it is it implies that it was a grown skid as the corruption is seen on crabs

[sharp lichen]

Even without flying, there are many differences

-The youngest spirits, from the season of Passage, are still much taller

• They’re much less durable than us

-And of course, once they die they become ghostly, while Skykids can be reborn

[empty belfry]

Yeah. Spirits are a whole enigma on their own tbh.

[misty saddle]

Why the default mask in skykids has the third eye open, but in spirits is closed?

[slim compass]

My flood theory is becoming more likely to me by the day, there are crabs and jellyfish in every realms come on now

[robust wolf]

yeah skykids don’t grow. when they die they just reincarnate in exactly the same way

[potent sedge]

Me personally i think Sky TTE is gonna be an anthology, gonna focus on a different Skykid each time

[empty belfry]

I wish we had better explanation on what spirits are.

[slim compass]

Oh and the whale, what's with all the ocean creatures??? there MUST have been a flood

[robust wolf]

i think spirits and skykids may just be different species altogether , spirits being living people while skykids are artificially created, clay vessels given life through light

[misty saddle]

Proposed beings

[sharp lichen]

I actually don’t know about this, what third eye?

[empty belfry]

It may be. I like nastymolds theory though thats it the same skid in two different time eras of sky

[slim compass]

the stars are the spirits in the message

[robust wolf]

like they create little light sparks when they walk and make [ping] noises when bonking into things, like they’re made of an inorganic material

[sharp lichen]

But in the intro cutscene, it says “all are born from starlight”

[empty belfry]

It also may be a visual glitch but does anybody thonk that fresh moths glow just the tinest bit lighter than the average skid? Like all the light that is now contained in their physical body is leaking out as some sort of ichor

[misty saddle]

Oh also, in the body.

[sharp lichen]

I think it’s similar to the diamond they have in their chest

And interestingly enough, there’s nobody in the Two Embers trailer that has it

[cosmic slate]

If we have a third eye then maskless needs to be fixed an put on our forehead as well

[robust wolf]

yeah that’s why i think the people in two embers are spirits and not skykids

[empty belfry]

Lore chata gonna have sich a field day when TTE comes iut

[misty saddle]

True... why players have it??

[robust wolf]

they don’t fly, and they don’t have soul candles. but it’s interesting that darkness corruption works similarly on them as it does on skykids, in the form of crystals. maybe spirits are inorganic in a different way

[empty belfry]

I think the one on the mask is just visual. Powered by their light or 'core' on their chest

[cosmic slate]

Well in a way we are different from spirits in the way they fell here whereas we were made to be sent here to help those who fell

[robust wolf]

but incapable of utilizing or absorbing light like skykids can, hence the heavy reliance on darkstone

[empty belfry]

Some spirits do have capes though which implies they could at some point.

[robust wolf]

but none of them have lit stars, the capes back then could have been purely cosmetic as we never see a spirit fly without some kind of darkstone aid

[misty saddle]

Some werent intended to fly. Navigator cape per example was used to give directions

[robust wolf]

like how navigator uses their cape to direct incoming boats

[cosmic slate]

I think the spirits who had capes were using them for social standings

[rugged jackal]

I think the capes may have been something else, given that Flight tells you that you can help the flight spirits with your power to fly, and the flying boats everywhere

[empty belfry]

Thats is true. I supoose capes are a part of culturale fashion before skids came. Aftee that they might have shared capes as a way to fly in different ways (i.e more aerodynamic capes.)

[sharp lichen]

That would be interesting. Because there’s the bald Skykid that we see in the previous trailer, and the manatee long haired one. However, it depends on if hairstyle determines the character (like each major character has a unique hairstyle) or if they’re just generic haircuts.

[cosmic slate]

Maybe capes were given to those who had an important role in society

[robust wolf]

i dont think spirits ever had the power of flight, since they were never imbued with pure light in the same way as sky kids or light creatures

[empty belfry]

If they are the same skods though, it means skids can grow their hair out.

[misty saddle]

Fire prophet hasnt got a cape

[sharp lichen]

Also, the soundtrack in the trailer sounds a bit similar to this: https://youtu.be/X7K_RKIv4iw?si=klCFe7nXMN3Mfm6q

[cosmic slate]

Also they used mantas and elder mantas to fly

[rugged jackal]

Regardless, I think we can all agree… thank goodness they had capes when they did, right?

[robust wolf]

darkstone and unethical treatment of mantas may have been their attempts to use light in a similar way as light creatures (but it just polluted the environment cause greed and yada yada)

[empty belfry]

What even does the dimond symbolize, anyway?

[cosmic slate]

It’s in the aurora valley musical memory and the teaser trailer for the switch release

Aren’t the daimonds crushed up light creatures this was shown in the abyss season

[empty belfry]

Theyre used on lanterns, clothes, shields, waypoints...

[misty saddle]

Like irl fossil fuels

[rustic glen]

ik this is from Sky: Light Awaits, but I have no idea where in the game it used to play. Is anyone here old enough to know?

[cosmic slate]

Yes because like people in magic themed worlds they relied on what was already being used and didn’t bother looking for new ways of power

[robust wolf]

diamonds throughout sky’s lore have been symbolic of the eye/darkstone/spirits, as spirits eyes are diamond shaped when they’re maskless. so things that are neutral to or harm light often have diamond motifs, while skykids often have star motifs

[robust wolf]

darkstone crystals are quite literally diamonds and i dont need to even point out the eye

[cosmic slate]

When the season of abyss came though it shows a bunch of murals of how the daimonds are made

[inland cliff]

it could be that they’ve always been managed to fly, just that ancestors body are easy to damage, like humans, so losing lights back then is like falling to ur dead, AND THE SOLDER THAT GOT HIS ARM BROKEN DURING THE RACE GOT LUCKY

Aurora Warrior of Love quest

[empty belfry]

Wait which solider-? Rememberance?? oh.

[misty saddle]

Nvm

[cosmic slate]

He got attacked by other soldiers though

[empty belfry]

Wait g that means spirits have bonea

[cosmic slate]

I think it’s in his memory or something and there’s also the fact that season of rememberance was one of refugees from war

[misty saddle]

WAIT MAYBE

[cosmic slate]

Ye they have blood so makes sense to have bones right?

[inland cliff]

…that could be possible, although no one rlly bring that up
i mean- mantas has bones right? So why can’t ancestors

[misty saddle]

What blood?

[empty belfry]

Weve never seen blood actually. Skids dont have any 'blood' more like liquid light

[cosmic slate]

On the wounded warriors mask there a scar with blue coming through what other color would it be other than the color of the wound or is it a corrupted wound

[misty saddle]

Probably

[inland cliff]

Maybe blood in sky are lights, since both are some sorts of enery

[empty belfry]

Could ypu show me? Ive never seen it-

[inland cliff]

the mask is made out of dark stone so that’s why it has blue color

much like abyss and shattering mask as welll

[misty saddle]

Oooh

[cosmic slate]

I’m having lighting issues but it’s blue right like a dark blue?

[empty belfry]

OHHH NONO THIS IS A DIFFERENT SOLDIER WERE TALKING ABOUT

[cosmic slate]

I remember it being a different color blue 😂 👁️which one?

[empty belfry]

Blue is also also shown as corruption sooo, who knows

[sharp lichen]

I think somewhere near Aviary

[misty saddle]

chat died

[earnest briar]

NO??? They're stones, or gems, that are infused with Light from Light Creatures.

[cosmic slate]

It shows the mantas getting crushed up and then daimonds popping out afterwards also light creatures are made of pure light it can be seen from the prairie elder cutscene where the elder creates a butterfly from nothing but flame from us and some friction so even if it was just made from the light of said light creatures it would still harm them

[earnest briar]

I don't know how you got to that conclusion, but no. HECK no. One of Abyss's quests has us scavenging the diamonds from that collapsed cave/mine area, and some are found still in or near minecarts which are near the mine, so that would mean they're stones or ore of some kind that was being mined to then infuse with light.

That mural was likely depicting the process of Light draining to power the diamonds. Not pureed Light Creatures.

[robust wolf]

i remember hearing from more places than one that pure darkstone was created with light from condensed light creatures combined with the stone mined in forest

though i remember it primarily referencing butterflies, not mantas

[sharp lichen]

Draining, blending, what’s the difference

[robust wolf]

yes and where would they have gotten that light they probably drained or even killed light creatures to fuel darkstone

the only reason darkstone contraptions work still for skykids is because skykids have light at their fingertips

which is why the boats in valley only work when you light the pedestal thing. back when spirits were still around i bet that the boats were running all the time, persistently fueled by condensed light

[hushed steeple]

I love all of these, but not to be like “ITS THIS TYPE OF THING” person, but when I was watching Sarah’s video earlier, she thought that 4 was maybe Forrest, but I like where you went with that. And 7, Sarah thought that it was like Eden, sort of. Like BEFORE everything happened. But I also really like where you went with that. And that with all of these pictures everyone has their own opinions

[sharp lichen]

Who’s Sarah?

I think 7 is the very top of the PNR area, where the Eden Diamond is

That’s why there’s the blue glow coming inside, it’s a prototype

[hushed steeple]

NastyMold

[cosmic slate]

Strictly only remember this for the reason that I was so shocked when I found out because people were saying this wasn’t the only instance of a power daimond being created and that in the forrest temple the machine on top was actually a functioning manta grinder and what we did was reverse the machines power to release the creatures of light

[robust wolf]

…are skykids’ light processing attributes allegories for sources of renewable energy since they have the capability to absorb it in ways that arent harmful to light creatures lmao

anyways yeah there’s no doubt in my mind that there was mass slaughter of light creatures to fuel darkstone

which is why mantas were caged in valley during the warrior segment, either for that or for professional manta racing

[hushed steeple]

Are you trying to say the farthest point of pnr? With with big red diamond..? Because if so, that area isn’t in a diamond form. But then when everything gets corrupted it would then be turned into a diamond along with places like gw

[cosmic slate]

I thought the trailer was pre mega dpower daimond explosion

Hence why the Eden wasn’t shining or destroyed looking maybe that’s what the show is about? What causes the daimond to be and get exploded?

[hushed steeple]

What do you mean “not shining”?

[cosmic slate]

I mean it’s not shining there’s no sun dog or anything just a complete floating city

[robust wolf]

i’m pretty sure the eye was just unstable to begin with and caved in on itself of it’s own volition, absorbing all light and energy around it and decimating the kingdom

[cosmic slate]

Also the top of Eden mountain is flat much like this

[robust wolf]

the moral of the eye’s creation was that the desire for power ultimately was what caused a mass extinction so idk if anything Specifically caused it to collapse?

[sharp lichen]

I think the diamond was artificially created, and what we see in the trailer is a prototype/workshop of it

[hushed steeple]

Your right, but that could just be pre-corruption

[cosmic slate]

Yes

[robust wolf]

yeahh thats true. two embers could really just be the buildup of events leading to the eye’s collapse, like the war and the mass migrations of spirits in isle/prairie

[native galleon]

oh my god help i was away while this came out and i literally just saw it aaaaaaghh

[cosmic slate]

That means someone did something or created a daimond too big that it wasn’t stable enough to handle the power within it and brought it to the city of Eden to probably present a stronger power source

[sharp lichen]

It’s not shining because there’s no massive beam protruding out from the mountain.

The ancestor spirits tried to harness the beam’s energy using the giant diamond, but when the diamond broke, the beam became free

[native galleon]

first thing i noticed is UN-WASTELAND CONTENT

[sharp lichen]

Yes, look at the mural activated by the white candles in Eden

[cosmic slate]

The beam is caused by the daimond exploding it’s permently shooting power or light into the sky straight to their home

[hushed steeple]

Who would have created it though? Itself, or someone like Resh?

[sharp lichen]

It’s still not looking too hot

Some are saying the krill we see in a trailer is charging towards the Wasteland Elder (which… pain )

[empty tide]

In the old Lore timeline, Resh makes a giant darkstone ark, so maybe?

[robust wolf]

yeah the beam of light at eden’s peak was the source of all light right?? and the king wanted to control it, as wealthy powerful people are prone to do

[native galleon]

Lol i was more so referring to the shipwreck shot but yeah

[sharp lichen]

Look at this mural found in eden. We can clearly see the Eden Elder building diamond, and people are cheering them on

[cosmic slate]

I thought he wanted to control the power of light and implanted a power daimond into himself to further assimilate the power and then became corrupted

[robust wolf]

imagine how many creatures were killed to create the eye, plus all the creatures killed that were lured into it’s glow (shattering at least gave us SOME insight lmao)

[empty tide]

Nah he made like darkstone diamonds to make the elders godlike, which seems to be what we're restoring in the game

[native galleon]

If this show gets into the wasteland-ening count me very very intrigued

[cosmic slate]

All of us are already foaming at the mouth bruh

[hushed steeple]

Or it could not be cheering, we never know

[robust wolf]

what if the elders and the king may have been trying to imbue themselves with light through darkstone

[native galleon]

that’s from concept art i don’t think it’s canon anymore, prophecy murals show the king/chosen one/whatever bringing light to the already existing elders

[cosmic slate]

Well since they fell from the stars wouldn’t they be praying for the power daimond to be strong enough to send them back?

[empty tide]

That's true

[hushed steeple]

Does anyone have the sky lore doc that they can give?

[misty saddle]

They look like theyre praising the king

[robust wolf]

was it ever established which realms were pitted against each other in the war?

[native galleon]

There’s very strong hints of it being Valley (hello cyan light in the seed) but it’s not officially confirmed

[misty saddle]

From where people get the mural pics?

[hushed steeple]

All around the realms. There’s a few in at least each realm I would say

[misty saddle]

Ik but im too lazy to go and see all of them when i need to check something lol

No, im too lazy to change my username

Have them return again!

[native galleon]

brb going to rewatch this 1000 times 🍵

[misty saddle]

This canon? In the wiki says that is in the ||office|| portal

[tepid veldt]

wait hold up i had no idea the masterlist was on the wiki as well

[native galleon]

ZOOM ENHANCE
….nice banners lol

[misty saddle]

[hushed steeple]

Thought: all the the Eders are all friends pre-corruption! They all look the same as they do now. But they don’t necessarily have their OWN realms yet. With Resh making the diamond in some sort of way. Then the ALL the Elders see the Eden Diamond, and they all go and check it out. Then as shown in the Shard Memory, (number six, I believe). They arrive at the diamond, geared up because I think Sah has a sword trying to attack it, they try to attack it. And get flown away, blasted into their own realm. That’s how realms are formed

And as we all know, shards. The only things that sort of doesn’t make sense is that they never drop in Isle

[misty saddle]

?????????‽ who is sah?

[native galleon]

i think the realms existed before the world ended tho…?

[hushed steeple]

This shard memory, of all the elders getting blasted away? They could be getting blasted away with the power of Resh off into their own respected realms

[misty saddle]

Elders were desgined to guide ligth creatures to the eden mountain i think

[hushed steeple]

So then why are they getting blasted away?

[native galleon]

because of the diamond exploding

[misty saddle]

Also whats that thing in the top of the diamons

[hushed steeple]

Oh, then why are they getting blasted away..?

@azzzy._. , a sword..? Maybe?

[misty saddle]

I have heard somewhere that is somehow the eden elder(?) Let me check

[cosmic slate]

Ye its the Eden elder he has pointy head

[misty saddle]

Ok, it checked and the theory says that the eden elder was absorbed by the eden diamond because it was the first sky kid that fell and the crystal exploded while absorbing him

Idk is not my theory so idk if it makes any sebse

[empty tide]

I love all the different versions of the forest elder

[misty saddle]

Liked the first one

[cosmic slate]

Anyone got a site with these that aren’t blurry as all heck?

[tepid veldt]

i can just imagine the ancestors lying in wheat fields (i think thats what they are) of pre wasteland wasteland and cloud watching

wait no you silly thats sand
whatever they would still cloud watch

[cosmic slate]

**The cloud blanket toilet has been forgotten **

[hushed steeple]

What are the thoughts on why Daleth isn’t on Eden portal

[misty saddle]

Lol

[cosmic slate]

I think they made the portals after all that stuff happened with the elder

[hushed steeple]

What would have had to exactly happen though?

[misty saddle]

WHOS THAT
Also, how did they make portals?

[tepid veldt]

its thought that dawn was opposed to the usage of darkstone, and thus didn’t industrialize along with the others. i think i have a quick blurb about it hold on

#lore-discussion-spoilers message here we go (second paragraph)

[hushed steeple]

Well, I mean, there is sort of like a farm in FA (forgotten ark) so..

[hushed steeple]

Isle

Everyone has a name

Isle – Daleth (ד)
Prairie – Ayin (ע)
Forest – Teth (ט)
Valley – Samekh (ס) (They share a name, though the fandom refers to the spiky hair twin as Sah and the bobbed hair twin as Mekh.)
Wasteland – Tsadi (צ)
Vault – Lamed (ל)
Prince – Alef (א)
King – Resh (ר)

[misty saddle]

Oh, they had names??? Also from where sre the letters? I think i have seen those before. WAIT, THE PRINCE AND KING HAVE DIFERENT NAMES??

[hushed steeple]

The letters are Hebrew

[cosmic slate]

I always thought he was too old to be put up on the door

[misty saddle]

Ohhh yeah i have seen thise before, why choose that alphabet specifically?

[hushed steeple]

What does “I think there is still some light in it” entail? Like from the previous Sky kid awakening Daleth? And also I am assuming since everyone else has 3 or 4 candles they are on Resh’s side and wanted more candles?

[hushed steeple]

These letter are also specific times of day

Isle – Dawn
Prairie – Day
Forest – Rain
Valley – Sunset
Wasteland – Dusk
Vault – Night
Eden – Storm

[misty saddle]

Interesting, ty!!!

[hushed steeple]

Of course!

[cobalt palm]

Those are still the internal realm names used by the developers, sometimes you will hear someone on stream talking about rain or storm

[tepid veldt]

the “i think there is still some light in it” was referring to the elder cutscene where dawn scoops up our light. its been awhile since i last watched it but their staff didnt seem completely dormant like the other elders.

iirc where i was going with the candle thing, i think there’s only one candle for dawn because they dont require as much light because they didnt buy into the whole darkstone thing, whereas the other realms did, thus having more candles and needing more light

[misty saddle]

Like internal in the code? Or what

[cobalt palm]

When the meditation quest in vault was bugged it was night_night_meditation2

[tepid veldt]

also a bugged quest in wasteland had dusk if i remember (dont remember the full name)

[cobalt palm]

Yeah, both in the code, and how they often refer to the areas, probably more though habit than on purpose or being mysterious.

[misty saddle]

Cool!¡

[lusty merlin]

Very important Note they’re concept art names and are not canon to the game and are scrapped

[misty saddle]

Oh, ok

[hushed steeple]

I feel like we have talked a lot about the Elders and realms in general. I feel like we also need to get Alef (prince) in here

[misty saddle]

Btw, whats the void?? Like the one at eden when you get petrified and you have to hug the light sky kid

[misty saddle]

Yes, why he has a diferent name? Isnt he the same as resh

[hushed steeple]

Uhm… do you mean when you give away your light..?

[hushed steeple]

Resh is the first ever skid, and Eden elder. I don’t necessarily know a lot of stuff about Alef

[misty saddle]

When princes get to certain age become Kings? I ask this because resh and alef

[hushed steeple]

What I think about that part of Eden, is that we are helping get other skids reborn. The ones who don’t make it very far, aren’t very talented in that part of Eden. And the ones who do make it far, and talented and know what to do. When we then either lose all of our light, or give it to the statues. We then turn into a statue. Our journey to Orbit is waiting for someone save us. When we reach Orbit, that is when someone has given us their light, and we get reborn.

[lusty merlin]

I’d say so yeah, it wouldn’t make sense if there were one king and one prince, resh could be an older version of alef

[lusty merlin]

I interpt it as a sort of limbo. Like to think the light kid we hug is the wing light that we give to other statues, which we ourselves are given by another skykid. Kind of like a cycle of self sacrifice to help others in a way

The hug scene is interesting but there’s no real anwsers on what it truly represents sadly

[misty saddle]

Interesting, but what other sky kid would give us light?

[lusty merlin]

Another skykid that’s ascending just like we are, who are also giving wl to other statues just like we did

[pale kestrel]

Who's hyped for the sky series?!

[misty saddle]

Wdym

[lusty merlin]

If your ignore game logic there’s always new statues every reset, so I always think eden has new statues every so often. Us turning into a statue is just one of the many new statues which replaces the old ones we help set free. And another sky-kid comes along, gives a wl to our statue, they turn into a statue too, another skykid comes along and the cycle repeats

Atleast that’s what makes the most sense to me

[misty saddle]

A cycle... oh... what would happen if that cycle could be stopped?

[hushed steeple]

The statues reset every Sunday at reset

[lusty merlin]

Yeah that’s why I say “ignoring game logic”

[lusty merlin]

Then those statues would be stuck I guess, but right now it’s still going

I don’t expect my theory on the hug scene to be correct, it can always be something else but it’s nice to imagine it. More simple for me than imagining it’s the prince trapped, our ourselves like I’ve seen some suggest (which are still interesting)

[misty saddle]

Yeah

[cosmic slate]

I found semi crispy pictures hehehehee

[misty saddle]

Whats the prince one thought, isnt the adult king whos trapped in the diamond?

[cosmic slate]

The prince and the king are said to be the same person just different points in time

[lusty merlin]

It’s not known if that concept carried over into the live game it’s more of a popular theory

[lusty merlin]

Elder concept designs my beloved (gonna swipe these cuz these are the most crispy ones I’ve seen )

[misty saddle]

Forest elder

[empty tide]

Love the ofrest elder

[cosmic slate]

https://imgur.com/a/9T4PmQC these are so crispy in the app

[lusty merlin]

I adore forest elders concept art they’re so pretty

[misty saddle]

This looks kinda like the masks from passage

[lusty merlin]

Oo i can see the resemblance

[cosmic slate]

First one is familiar second one look like an oversized ape mask

[misty saddle]

Looks kinda like uh, dedan from the indie game off?

[hushed steeple]

I don’t get what picture 3 is supposed to be

[sharp lichen]

One of The Valley Elders, in concept art they’re called Sahmekh. Many have theories that because there are two of them, one is called Sah and the other is called Mekh

[cosmic slate]

It’s sky kid clothes haha

[misty saddle]

Is the megabird representation considered canon?

[cosmic slate]

Hehehhehe heheheheheh HEHEHEHEHEHE

[hushed steeple]

So it’s just skid clothes nothing “too” big?

[misty saddle]

[cosmic slate]

Ye lol it was concept arts for older seasons that haven’t been used yet and most likely will someday in the far or near future be used

[lusty merlin]

They seem to have an actual form if you look straight up in orbit but it’s like a very vauge look of a sort of bird

[sharp lichen]

I think the star at the very very top is “Resh”, or the Eden Elder

[lusty merlin]

By the masks in the corner I think this is old light seekers concept cosmetics

[cosmic slate]

Even after the redesign of forrest momma she still had hella forest momma vibes even in concept form

[hushed steeple]

This?

[cosmic slate]

Ye that’s his crown on his head

[misty saddle]

So, of its canon someone had to see it to draw it

[lusty merlin]

Little confused on what you mean by there sorry, but here’s what I mean by how they look like, forgot they also appear at the end credits

[hushed steeple]

Wait, you know the thing that like blasts a vault wall on the way to Orbit? What is it? Does anyone have any thoughts?

[lusty merlin]

A whale

[misty saddle]

What are you talking about

[hushed steeple]

Thanks

[misty saddle]

Ohhh thank you

[lusty merlin]

Funfact the concept mask here is on the top above the door leading into their temple ingane, it’s definitely an Easter egg, but it’s neat to think of elders having differnt looks theough the years

[hushed steeple]

What elder is it? Rain?

[cosmic slate]

Wait a second,…. What if.. the elder is the same design buttttt just has a new mask a put on clothes and she put her old mask on the temple doors

[misty saddle]

Anyone got good footage of the megabird/ eden orbit? All the videos i can find are very crappy

[lapis nest]

WHO IS TALKING ABOUT THE NEW TRAILER?!

no one have anything to comment about the new animation trailer ?

[cosmic slate]

Taken with the camera

[hushed steeple]

That’s what we have been doing for the last, what? About the last 9 or so hours?

[hushed steeple]

Is the megabird thing supposed to be above the 3 skids holding hands?

[lapis nest]

yeah but like now do I come too late?

[cosmic slate]

Yea the entire star collection is Megan we are also a part of it

[misty saddle]

Thank you!!! It doesnnt look like a bird at all i think??? Just a bit kind of it looks more like a giant slug

[hushed steeple]

Not at all! If you wanna scroll back a little to the time of where we actually started to talk about it, you can

[cosmic slate]

It’s more of a sleek bird design but ye its more on the metaphorical side

[misty saddle]

Megan

[hushed steeple]

Megan?

[lapis nest]

Does anyone know why in the season fo abism is 2 " monsters " paints on the walls?

[cosmic slate]

Megan the galaxy megabird nicknamed Megan

[hushed steeple]

Season of fo abism..?

[misty saddle]

What bird do you see most?? I noticed these two...

[lapis nest]

*season of Abyss ?
( I don't know the names in english)

[hushed steeple]

If the season is like an all water area, it is Season of Abyss

[lapis nest]

In the place where is the giant krill king ! There are 2 different monster paints on the walls. Does anyone know why ?

[cosmic slate]

Those are different depictions of the same monster I think hat you see there the mega monster that lives trapped beneath the sunken factory

[lapis nest]

But why they look different ? One look like worm with many fins and the other is giant with big teeth and many eyes.

[cosmic slate]

One is of the monster above the water and one is of the monster below the water but they are both the same monster indeed because they trap the monster under the factory to expirement on it I think

[lapis nest]

:0 oo so it evolved ?

[cosmic slate]

Most likely what happened

But in the above water depiction I think they only drew the head of the monster and later when they captured it they were able to draw the entire body

[ocean saddle]

Gamescom :wheeze:

[dense inlet]

Hey lorechat

[fierce lagoon]

picking up from yesterday this is the impression I got
I do feel like the whole orbit sequence seems to tell us something about this

[rigid timber]

ok lorechat I need to know EVERYTHING!! lay it on me

[fierce lagoon]

If you’re new to lorechat this doc should have the basic info you should probably be aware of https://docs.google.com/document/d/12XSkaMV_5UYG-an_Qo37ItyKP6GaqBBA6iRqBVE2qck/edit

[hushed steeple]

I suggest starting here: #lore-discussion-spoilers message and going down, it’s gonna be a lot

[earnest briar]

Turns out playing at being gods does in fact, come with consequences.

[fierce lagoon]

also bright graveyard cameo

[bronze ginkgo]

Ogh my god I am so normal

[earnest briar]

Graveyard is the place with all the Krills and big skeletons, that's the Shipwreck. Though that is a kinda funny picture considering it implies the boat was already crashed at least some time before things went to honk.

[fierce lagoon]

AH yeah that’s what I was trying to say haha And yeah it makes me wonder where the krills had come from in the first place

[hushed steeple]

and pre-corrupted Eden in the background

[fierce lagoon]

Looks awfully like the structure shown in orbit tbh

[hushed steeple]

I am also imagining that the little skid in the picture, is “new” to sky, but they are also in sky. Does that make sense? I feel like we have to give the world of Sky a name. Like they are sort of like a toddler, in some sort of way

[fierce lagoon]

Like there’s a floating structure right above a round one which is veeeery convenient considering the recent trailers that came out
And yeah they could be new, or just traveling around- I guess we’ll see

[rigid timber]

From what I understand, the elders and the society starting using light creatures and using them to fuel their technology which in return made the natural order of the world go bad and darkness sprouted?

[hushed steeple]

I never thought of the traveling part of it, like to see their friend or a specific elder

[rigid timber]

I also wonder why darkness is represented by plants/sprouts? Maybe darkness isn't necessarily bad and is just another side of life?

[fierce lagoon]

But yeah I feel like they’re too alike for me to just dismiss it and I really believe orbit may be a reenactment or something related to the structure

[rigid timber]

are some of those shots from the new trailer?

[fierce lagoon]

And another round structure right below the broken one above also seems a little too convenient

[hushed steeple]

The “main point” of Sky, is that there is 1 og skid. They then turn into the elder of eden. As isle elder only has 1 candle in their temple, they are against using the diamond’s powers to give them more light. While the other elders have 3 or 4, and maybe also why Daleth/Dawn (isle elder, yes they have names. Not sure if you knew that) isn’t in Eden portal

[rigid timber]

Oh, also was it ever explained exactly what that castle in the sky is?

[hushed steeple]

I like how you think. It also now looks like an ascending area

[fierce lagoon]

No idea, but judging by these I think the orbit sequence could definitely be related

[cosmic slate]

We think it was a capitol or city of some sort but we can theorize that it was that civilizations attempt at going back to the stars as it’s the absolute highest point in all of sky

[hushed steeple]

That castle is Eden, the og skid/Eden elder made the diamond that you see in Eden artificially. While making it, Eden elder got sucked into the diamond which then exploded causing all the elders to be “blasted away” and we are trying to restore the light that was essentially life before corruption of realms

[fierce lagoon]

And this shot from the shipwreck as well; these are those structures we saw in the trailer

[cosmic slate]

I’m thinking the show is going to have us experience the first eden explosion

[fierce lagoon]

definitely the same structure and I think orbit could be a retelling of how everything went down in a way?

[hushed steeple]

It’s gonna show some lore that some of us never knew, although we are going to have to help TGC explain lore that we think things are, and they are going to have to help us explain what some things are

[rigid timber]

so that giant rock killed everyone? and us skykids goal is to reach that rock to try to fix it?

[fierce lagoon]

Aurora concert also dropped a lot of lore so I think it may play a part as well

[cosmic slate]

Our goal is to bring the souls of those who have passed and bring them back to the stars

[rigid timber]

that's true but also our journey led us to that specific spot, and our kid dies walking towards it... so I assumed that was their goal at least journey wise

[cosmic slate]

I hope we get lore to help with that part haha

[sharp lichen]

Yes

[rigid timber]

Me too... I hate how the rock vibrates evilly... one time I died and my spirit got stuck inside the rock, I never knew how much it actually shakes until then, I hope it also explains what exactly is in that rock that's making it go crazy ( other than the elder)

[cosmic slate]

Light that was wrongly used and got corrupted is the likey explanation but we will see

[sharp lichen]

We’ve talked about it for the whole afternoon

[rigid timber]

I guess like... nuclear radiation im guessing? I know sky is a metaphor and such so maybe it's something like that

[sharp lichen]

My theory is that the world of Sky was called Eden in the past, because of the name “Eye of Eden”, which could mean center. So if it’s the center, that means everything else is still called Eden

[sharp lichen]

I think these two are related, since they both have the big blue glow

[rigid timber]

Or maybe it was the big city, that building in the sky looks like it was erupted from the ground, and the part where you fly around after you die looks very fancy

[hushed steeple]

For the most part. There are technically only a few people that have died/not died (we don’t know) Storm (Eden elder) and the statues that you see in pnr. It is our job to give out light to those statues so they can live again. When we are born, for the VERY first time, we don’t know anything and we are emotionless. The spirits we collect along help us gain emotion and thoughts about the different realms and areas

[sharp lichen]

Well, it appears for one Shattering Shards come from it

[sharp lichen]

I don’t think they’re emotionless, they’re just young. They still have the drive to go through Eden and never stop by themselves

I’m a bit proponent of the “Skykids aren’t self inserts” theory

[rigid timber]

I theorize that our skykids are past citizens that have died (before the eden stuff went down) and are being reborn and sent back. That's why they don't know anything yet.

[lapis nest]

I have a theory about the "mother (??) " that hug the sad child. Maybe he is sad bc to me it seems that the mother is "sick" she have blue/ black rocks in her skin. What yall think/ know about this ?
I would love to read yall :3

[sharp lichen]

Yes, it’s the same sickness that wounded the Wounded Warrior

[rigid timber]

yeah that certainly seems like darkness on her arms...

[hushed steeple]

Corruption. That’s what I and a bunch of other people think

[empty belfry]

To me it looks like the same corruption we can see on some crabs

[native galleon]

huh. never noticed it was built on an artificial platform like that, i always thought it was just a big rock

the floating bit i mean, not the structure around the beam lol obviously that’s artificial

[lapis nest]

I have a question ? Is there a theory /probability that skydiands come form other "world".
Bc if they come from other world that we know it would explain to me why the end of the trailer says "new world awaits".

[empty belfry]

Im laughing so hard at these beta designs for Lamed and Ayin 😭😭

[hushed steeple]

They don’t necessarily come from another world… the lore is that we are born at different times, (when we start Sky) quite literally us being born from the sky, sort of like a shooting star, but down to land. which then turns us into being summoned to help restore the light of the world of Eden

[empty belfry]

AYINS JUST A ROUND GUY AND LAMED LOOKS LIKE A HECKIN WITCH WHOD CACKLE AT YOU 😭😭😭

[lapis nest]

Today Valley photo. It is the same right? But here is the eden castle and in the trailer isn't. (or maybe me blind)

[empty belfry]

To be fair, eden did practically explode

[dense inlet]

Hey, I have screenshots to share that y'all can use for your lore needs. Do I send it here or in #screenshots-and-videos ?

[empty belfry]

I think here since its lore related

[lapis nest]

I mean the people before us. The spirits? ancestors ? ( how u call them here) or are they the same as us sky kids?

teach me people with ur knowledge I am ready to learn

[empty belfry]

Spirits and elders dont have a canon lore explanation i dont think. Its all up to headcanons supported by the very small amount of lore on them

[hushed steeple]

Yeah, the spirits. I would say they are here before us. But I am not quite sure

[dense inlet]

Here are screenshots that I will analyze and consider as highlights. Feel free to use them for your lore needs

The last screenshot reminds me of Season of Passage because the stoles of the smaller people remind me of the season and that the summoning of light is involved (Passage Guide summons masks in every end of the quest in Season of Passage.) Just my take

[hushed steeple]

Here is a sky moth lore Google doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/12XSkaMV_5UYG-an_Qo37ItyKP6GaqBBA6iRqBVE2qck/edit

[empty belfry]

I wish spirits and elders had canon explanations to as why and how they came about. The only thing we really know is they exist before eden eruption

[lapis nest]

Spirit ! yes i was asking for them! Is there a possibility that they come from other world?

[hushed steeple]

@lapis nest : no idea

@silly.guy : hopefully we can make some cannon lore, since they will need help, with lore explanations, and making it all make sense. And we would need their thoughts on the lore so we can help them make more lore on top of that

[empty belfry]

Exactlyyy all 'lore' on them is basically all fanmade atm

[dense inlet]

As someone who is interested in diseases (I don't like illnesses ofc. I just find the topic intriguing), I'm now thinking about what are the diseases that exist in the world of Sky

[hushed steeple]

I can’t believe, that our community has 1: MADE HISTORY! And 2: make a series!! And to think Jenova thought Sky wouldn’t do too well!

[sharp lichen]

Yea, it in fact looks quite similar to the first frame in the trailer

[sharp lichen]

I think the “new world awaits” is referring to the Sky world we already know shown in the past

[broken night]

Mega bird is Laniakea

[hushed steeple]

… mah boys

I saw smt in this concert

There are many, MANY deceased skykid-like creatures in the gw

So theory

Maybe, at the very end, skykid-prototipe-hingy-ish things were chased down, as always, for their light, and the reveling ancestors were the one that were trying to protect them

[unique sonnet]

okay... so.... are krill corrupted manta? or at least predicted to be?

[empty belfry]

If they are then that means my two favourite creatures are zctually just 1 creature

[unique sonnet]

hehehe

[empty belfry]

Cpuldnt decide wether mantas were the favourite or if krills were so they both are

[broken night]

Coincidence? I think not
