actually someone said those red crystals in eden are parts of the power diamond in eden
shown by the elders
the red crystals spread throughout the lvl?
yeah
yep
i mean if not where’d they come from
they also seem very attracted to our light once we get close
if they did they they probably just. grew into normal crystals
They consume the fire u got in u
theyre corrupted haha
corrupted bois
evil rocks
honestly yeah since it rains red rocks in eden i wouldnt be so shocked if the crystals in the lvl came from it
it spurts out so much red rocks some are sure to go astray
the elders did the bonking
the engineers did
elders only looked over the project
cause they don’t wanna get their hands dirty if it malfunctioned causing their public reputation to deteriorate to a crisp leaving nothing but a revolution to overthrow the hierarchy-
That exact concept of darkstone in the timeline is completely removed from the game, the old beta used to have it but now it’s a scrapped concept, but there’s also a lot of other inconsistencies of the timeline, trust me tgc won’t give us an easy timeline like that
“Trust me” lol
wistful sigh i wish i was able to see that area personally
Same ginsy
if we had a straight forward canon timeline why are we still here
Exactly
exactly 
Eggsactly 🥚
Cuz it keeps the players interetes in the game?
i highly doubt tgc would reveal the true lore. they even said it in the game that we’re supposed to figure out the mystery
i think i need to get into politics to understand the true intentions of the elders
i wonder how many of the theories here are actually true but wasnt made known of it
nerfgh that’s just called headcanons lmao
or if theres any theories at all that turned out to be true
yeah
What I need
Is a new pfp
you do jay
put a jay bird
Prolly a new username too
i wonder if all of our theories are partially wrong
Its like talking with a flat earther
you got all the evidence there but still sont want to believe the ewrth ir rounded
Still needa ask reika if megabird is still a thing to the current story
we’re talking to one right now.

ash needs to summon reika again someday
though she’s online maybe we could have that
they always idle
Oh she watches us sometimes
lurking
All of the devs lurk they just don’t talk as often

Like one time I mentioned Italian moths and she reacted to it
But not a single word 👀
hyonk italian hand gesture
italian moth when
man i want. more lore 😔
samee
i canf wait till they add new areas and we get to explore them
i stg if tgc pranks the entire lore channel with chicky’s popcorn and relish dream
her WHAT
OH YOU HAVEN’T HEARD
NO SHCJD
i’ll send it in DMs hold up
yeah sure
I still think we should snatch Tom Zhao
Why are we able to see the spiky castle from here? Does it clear up once we ’ save the boi”?
Nice deer mask
In the bottom corner?
Tbh I have no idea if this has already been asked but how long ago would you guys say the decline of this kingdom happened?
i guess it’s still mysterious, but many seem to think it was like they were corrupted by greed or being hungry for power, culminating in the explosion of the giant power diamond in eden
“The power diamonds led to their downfall”
is that from tomcepts
it does
Woah!
“The Darkness came and the stars fell”
Together the fallen stars made a new home in the clouds”
Where did they really fall from?
Doubt they fell from orbit
they fell from space
i mean currently i’m thinking it’s a megabird souls accidentally split up and fell so they disconnected from her
That’s the real lore we need
since we can see megabird in orbit
Yeah
i don’t really care for any solid real lore i just want to figure it out a few steps at a time and not jump headfirst
gonna also have to remember about the livestreams since they like talking about the game’s concepts and why they chose specific things for it
The one in the middle of the constellation is not the bird but the prince 🤴
I think the intro is the only real piece of backstory lore we have confirmed
I still remember when reika was here and I was like
“HEY, WHO IS THIS MAN HOLDING THE BALL, I THOUGHT THE KING WAS GONE”
And then she was like
“It’s me, I’m the man”
Tf
LMAO REIKA I REMEMBER THAT I THINK
“im the man”
ye
This part
even the distance you’ll see it on a mountain
nAHhH it’s DAYliGhT pRaIRE
It’s confusing
it is
its very close to you, but you dont.. really enter it
then its in the area to go to orbit as well
it’s just a decoy
Makes me believe the actually fell from here . The vault shrine. Since this is above the storm
This
The were united by the light maybe the crystal that’s floating at top of vault
Representing the others elders as well
U do kno they built the civilization after they fell right
they had lives before they fell to the sky
Yea but if u look even closer, eden is below that
you also do realise the elders knew each other before the fall and because of them being on good terms the light was infinite but when they fell light became limited and would soon be scarce
the text,, literally said they made homes in the clouds. only some areas are below the clouds
Watch the cutscene
ive done that many times
wait that which could have led to borrowing the light from the light creatures that formed from the clouds
They are together above clouds, the fell below those clouds and made the home over clouds
Below that
And that’s exactly what we do in the game on the way to orb
We came from the clouds(the realms)
We get to the top of Eden which is covered by clouds
And we go even higher
After we die we make it thru those clouds and get to the top Castle or whatever is
In which the destroyed vault shrines are located
i think i lost some braincells trying to understand your messages
did you drink too much coffee
are u tired nerf
bro i’m the tired one
i see you on everytime are u getting sleep,,??
i’ve been awake since 1 am and it’s currently 9 am
geez
This is what i mean
There are clouds over Eden where the destroyed shrines are located
you do realise they aren’t shrines right
Whatever they are
eh i call them shrines cus idk a better word to describe them
This castle is above those clouds over Eden
i like to call them memorials since they serve as a sign of importance towards the elders
I’m losing brain cells too
from what bro
?
sleep deprivation, coffee overdose, too much thinking?
gotta love the times you lose brain cells


if that isnt a factory i dont know what is
Well it turns out, there’s 2 more factories on the right side
Theory
Well I think it’s a more advanced type of diamond press, if u look closed they sort of have the same model but this time there’s pipes and a bridge
yummy factories
i wonder if those were used for the big power diamond in eden
transferring light into a tiny power diamond already takes a lot so those pipes kinda help explain the ones at eden
Reika said that they never make details for places that people don’t explore.....well something like that
And I explored that part and saw a lot of cool stuff, especially with firework staffs, so now I kinda got trust issues with the tiny buildings at the edge of the map
I hope not
But she is an environmental artist so she knows what she’s doing when she does outside design
Like If u see a tiny spiky thingy in the distance, go chase it, it could be lore related
if i saw a spiky thing i’d be confused for a solid minute lmao
i only paid attention to graveyard’s stuff lately oop
though i keep seeing pipes everywhere that i guess were supposed to be connected because of the placements
though yall probably already know that lmao
Last time I tried exploring pipes there was a hole and then I went under the map, got stuck and lost 2 stars
I think the most environmental detail that relates to lore is in eden
yep
But it’s so dark and cloudy and windy that u could barely see anything, even with the firework staffs 
eden makes us blind
One thing I rlly did find cool.....was this, I showed this many times but why not show it again since I’m bored and no ones on the chat
I’m sure I’m not the only one who saw this but there are creatures of light going into this pipe......hey that rhymed
ey that rhymed
But anyways, theory time
We all kno the isle mural shows the elder leading butterflies and some other mural shows him leading it to eden, the cutscene also leads them to eden as well......so I thought maybe these are the creatures he led
also yeah i noticed a long time ago but didn’t make much about it
And then I remembered butterflies get slaughtered to make power diamonds 😐
And then I saw the pipe leading to the giant power diamond 😶
massacre
And then I ALSO remembered that the diamond is continuously active and it’s been active for years and years, I always wondered why but maybe
Just maybe
Those creatures are going into the pipe and feeding the diamond
well that’d explain why eden keeps getting darker everytime i go there
and also why the diamond is blinding me more than usual
oh those poor creatures though
powering such a massive source of power that’s only darkening the skies when they could’ve done it themselves
And Ik the diamond looks like it’s raining pieces of it so I also wondered that if this was going on for years, why hasn’t the diamond been destroyed yet
So I went back the the process of how they are made, and since it was red I assumed it was a corrupted and backfired diamond.....what if it’s feeding itself constantly with the creatures in the pipe and other material found at eden
continuously feeding it would delay its collapse
this is making my hatred for teth stronger lmao
yeah but she was originally the one who created the diamonds
i think the other elders couldn’t really betray her either
I’m guessing someone told em that these diamonds were no good even though they made their civilization thrive with power and technology
Remember the famous line in the intro “if only they had listened”
now everyone’s DEAD
💥—>😮—>💀
kachow
everyone died due to the overload
i’m guessing one of the monks from vault perhaps
maybe a sort of messenger of megabird herself
I made a theory about that too that maybe the vault elder is the narrator
...but then I gave up
Lol
lmao
rip
maybe i should try and use earphones while in eden
went to forest earlier and realised a lot of sound effects i never properly heard
Woah woah woah u never had headphones at eden?
Ur gonna year some stuff u never thought was there
Anywhere actually, there’s a lot of stuff u could hear and find using headphones
Like the entrance before the rock rain, u will hear screams and voices in the tunnel
n o i haven’t because i was stuck in the hospital and i didn’t really want to spook myself while recovering lmAo
oh i think i’ve heard the screams and voices even without headphones
Rlly? Hard to notice without them
Well if u want a more spooky vibe from the tunnel, headphones needed
Most likely gonna be a lightseeker spirit
If it’s the vulture spirit from gratitude with the fur cape, I’ll scream of happiness
Well......any gratitude spirit really 😂
Wait
U never went through lightseekers or gratitude huh...
Well both have cool capes and since we getting off topic imma jus mention something quick about lore
yeah i came during belonging
hmmmmm
imma just mention real quick, traveling spirits are random so there’s no way of knowing if the next one will be lightseekers or some other season
but yes boats
bots 
Well I noticed a PATTERN JOSHURRRRRR
boots
Wasteland turrets
those turrets sure are spook
i feel like they existed before but now they’ve gone out of order
for now...... 
like those big king statues
Turretssss
i kept suspecting they were looking at me
does that say “what was duck like before the storm”????
TURRETS
i wonder if to scare off dark creatures those turrets shot out light beams using energy from perhaps the pipes and power diamonds
what NO
Dusk 😂😂
D U C K
ohhhhhhh
jdhdsjhdhdhd
The realms were referred differently in concepts and for devs
Dawn, dusk, night, rain etc
i know about the level themes too i’m just broken
fancy urn

Sometimes I call that mask a platypus
i can’t unsee fancy urn
it does look very platypusish
Idk why but I feel like I should take 1 moreee look at the tomcepts
Korok seed hunt
See y’all laterrrr
I just realised all the creatures in sky are based on aquatic ones
Someone smart think why that could be 🥺
its a sunken civilisation
literally fell from the sky and crashed somewhere (clouds?)
clouds could have been like the sea (in theory) (high water vapour/content etc) and all of the creatures adapted themselves to be aquatic
so they can swim in the clouds
maybe in this world, for a light creature, light behaves like a fluid, so it’s natural that they would evolve to swim through it
thinking about sky lore will do that 
tru
in trying to get up to date with what everyone has typed
since i joined like 2 days ago
its a pain and i have given up
omg yes
wait if all the creatures are sea based why r we the only humanoid ones
and spirits
does that imply they had land
surely they could not have been the onlyones adapted for land rite
And were their capes for flying too or just clothing? Cause not all the spirits we see wear them
they built the center of their civilisation as high up as they could (on top of the tall tall mountain), literally reaching for the stars
wait wait
i don’t think they could fly
that’s why they had to build flying boats to get around
were there other humanoids that werent spirits
they never fly in spirit memories
why cant we buold flying boats
How do they get around valley, my brain hurts
skii maybe
Boats, ur genius
we don’t have the education and organisation to build boats like that i guess
i mean its pushing against air
also, boats were powered by light but we’re all about setting light free in eden
what if the air had water like properties
Since the aquatic like animals go through the sky boats could float too 👀
I like the way you think
i wonder if any boat shaped thing would float, or if it needed to be powered by the power diamonds being manufactured in forest
wait tell me more about power diamonds
Where are they
ive been thinking
living spaces?
you know those little holes in prarie
w the constellation barriers
or actual doors
i mean one of the spirits actually had a bed next to the workshop
Cause the yawn spirit has a very ‘home-like’ dwelling but that’s kind of the only one we see
exactly
is there other places in sky we havent explored? probably
Also makes me wonder the kind of population there was
And a lot of spaces seem to be buried underground
Ooh
and all of things deteriorated w time
yes
but then there are civilisations w buildings like in valley
so like they just started mordernising
and something went wrong?
then they mostly went extinct
also now that im thinking about it uk the two player hole near the juggling spirit
ye ye
could it be a bomb shelter of sorts
but caved in
I think that one in particular is just something from an old season maybe XD
btw, y’all might appreciate some of the info pinned in this channel!
i ddi search thru it
i see
im still interested w the carvings
encryptions or smth
especially the ones on the bells
Oh yeah I meant to read through but forgot lol
r the light creatures affected by them? r they infused w magic?
Thanks
they only work if u light w candle
i guess
and also uk how in the first portion of forest
u keep having to unlock gates
dometimes there these weird extensions out of the crystals
wait wat r we playing as
star child?
spirit descendant
light kid
hmm
like the children of light?
the ones we keep harvesting their souls for wings
i mean their attire is pretty similar
yeah, it seems like players and the winged light bois are called children of light, even tho we’re not exactly the same thing at all
We be hypothesising
I think the children of light are us
And like an endless cycle, the rebirth and star collection process goes on for eternity
do u think they perished and left behind their etheral bodies
We may even collect our old friends soul
ye
wait wait imma watch the v first oppening vid again
r we stars?
im so confused
we’re a different species
in the tomcepts we’re called descendants but it’s better to call ourselves children of the light since we don’t know much yet
hmm i forgot we’re called descendants. but early concepts say megabird created us tho? like from scratch
i still dun rlly understand wat r megabirds
I’m still convinced that the glowy you hug is yourself though
idk if any of us really understand what the megabird is, except they’re some kind of higher being/god/deity/whatever.
but then we die in so many weird placed
s
o thanks
caves/holes literally out in the open
who knows man
for know i think the megabird is just a bunch of stars clustered together and they keep the light in the universe infinite
wait what
also yeah megabird created us but that’s in concept art maybe now it’s different
send me concept art
just look at tom zhao’s website
huh is that indonesian architecture
which one
what the temples r based on
especially the one jogja
uh yogyakarta bhudist temple
borobudur
theres a lot of bells there
oh yeah
what is the 6th picture on the left side
can you just
download the picture so it’s easier to know what you’re referring to
do i post it here
yeah
ou
i think it’s also in somewhere else too but right now i don’t remember
ou i suddenly know what you are talking about
Imagine how tall she was without the chibi mask 👀
Extra tol
The graveyard was to hold all the large creatures of light. What if the krills were meant to be like shepard dogs?
i knew it all along; the krills are misunderstood puppies!
169 messages
I laughed a bit when I thought of a bb krill barking at a moth instead or roaring 
Oh yea I forgot
They used underwater creatures because it was a lot easier to make
Less animation and no need for moving tiny legs and other difficult stuff
Sea creatures are more flowyyy and easy
what if the realms or elders represent different cultures
Back to what someone else said earlier ^
The temples aren’t rlly places of worship for the elders and they didn’t have shrines back then, the location of the elder shrine is more like a certain place that had importance to that certain elder. For example, the forest elder is in her diamond factory, and it makes sense why it’s important to her because she made the artificial stars and produced them in her factory
There’s also a translation of a Japanese livestream that sorta proves what I’m saying
“What were call the temples were not places where the elders lived, but a place of importance to that elder”
It makes sense. If you take a look at each stone slab depicting its respective elder, you’ll notice they resemble a gravestone of sorts. This could mean that the temples also act as tombs for the elders, specifically the Wasteland Elder. If you take a look around the Wasteland elder’s ”tombstone”, you can definitely see some sort of box, or a large square coffin sort of object.
I thought it was like a ritual table 😐
~~You’re trying to relive their memories, not bring them back from the dead.
~~
I’m jus saying the wasteland temple’s shrine was placed near some ritual table with a circle
.....our mission isn’t to relieve memories
The cutscenes that take place are in the present....that’s why we see ourselves in the cutscene, if it was a memory it wouldn’t make sense
and the location of the elders are at a place beyond space and time, but they can still affect the real world
Ahhh I don’t wanna type too much for the back readers
They gonna scroll up and be like “woah, Jay went crazy”
Imma jus stay quiet....for now
I see, although I could’ve sworn the elders were canonically stated to be deceased.
They are, but in a way they are different from the spirits, and have more influence on the living world still.
If anything, their spirit lives in a place beyond the kids, and our giving them light allows them to take some action in the living world again before ascending to orbit.
I suppose that explains the Isle elder giving you your cape in the early beta.
In early beta, the wasteland shrine used to be at the front gate and his cutscene showed him manually lifting the gate
And then when u flashed back to real life, the gate would magically open
Mhm!
In prairies cutscene, afterwards the candles are replaced with a large butterfly jar.
In forest, the big power generator gains its missing diamond after the forest elder repairs it and sends it upwards.
I ever thought of the location of the stones being important to the elders tho :0
It’s nice to think about,
For Valley twins it’d be the arena they loved so much
Forest it’s the factory
Isle, is the takeoff point. The elder probably loved watching life take off from isle,
Prairie is uh,, I’d guess a storage of some sort,, but it’s also the largest building in prairie so 🤷♂️
Makes sense to me
This means Elders are poltergeists I really like this alternate reality theory, really gives some perspective into how Elders interact with the world around them. However... would they really do anything outside of being summoned, are they permanently chained to that point in this anomalous reality beyond the Sky children’s realm, or do you reckon they can still interact with things outside of their shrines without being summoned?
I think it was really the factor of, they have no strength after dying, and the light we give them allows them to finally affect the living world and ascend
Like,, think about it as fulfilling a final unfinished act.
Forest is a good example, they wanted to fix their diamond and the factory.
Wasteland wanted to protect their people from the krill and all,
Isle wanted to see something grow and travel on one last time etc,,
wasteland elder very large man
Big man,,
The Valley elders wanted one last game of one-upping each other.
Pff YEA
true siblings
sibling rivalries even after death
Thought they were a couple at first 😂

When I first started playing I was like
“Ou they look cute”
Then I read the concepts and was like “yea that makes more sense 😂”
you guys typed so much
i got too lazy to read even just looking at them
yall explained elders
so i guess its my turn to explain spirits?
i like to envision the spirits we see along our journey as illusions or hallucinations
oh wait
when you want to relive a spirit’s memories
you have to burn a plant placed in the center of their chest
I think that’s a game mechanic to jus activate it
It was added when u needed to redo a spirit for a certain quest
way to ruin my fun huh
OKOKOK KEEP GOING
nvm my theory just got rekt
Tell anyway
anyways
the plant is a dark plant
i like to look at dark plants as cages that trap light, hence they give you wax when you burn them
the dark plant in the spirits’ chest contains their soul, trapped until a player sets them free
i also like to imagine that, when you reenter an area or a realm in general
you’re replaying you’re story
you’re whole journey throigh sky is one long path to eden
and reentering a place is just replaying the path
when you burn the dark plant, the soul of the spirit is freed
freeing all their memories as well
idek im probably gonna throw all this in the garbage
also the area doesnt really change; its always in the same state. even if you change it, omce you leave it reverts back to how you found it
you’re replaying the area as if nothing changed 
its like time travel
Before u would jus touch a spirit and then boom
Memory activated
yeah
well im talking about the current update
yeah
yeah
I’m sure someone’s already described this, but my take on the overarching story of Sky is that the Skykids are fighting a losing battle protecting the world from evil. The dark plants which replaced so called ”corruption” in newer updates are signs even Prairie is affected. The Wasteland shields the borders of the other realms, as darkness gradually seeps into both Valley, Forest and Prairie. || The children in Eden are Skykids which came before, their souls lost throughout the realms. As you free them, they will be reborn again to continue their eternal mission. The vault elder, which I usually call the mother, knows just how hopeless this mission is. Thus, she cries as she sends thousands into certain death. ||
Nahh ur the only one that described this
What if the statues in ||Eden that you can light are gifts from the last elder to help the sky kids in the only way she can?|| Going off of what @keen moat said.
yall dont have to spoiler stuff here ^^
U wouldn’t say that if REIKA WAS HERE
The Journey Through Eden
as you enter, you hear crackles of lightning and the strong whoosh of the wind. you tremble, possible from the cold, but possibly from fear, but gather the courage and walk through, lighting the stones and opening the door. you are greeted by a dastard sight. a sad, windy ruin. the wind grows stronger and throws rocks around, but you push through. as you get closer and closer to the mysterious eye of eden, the cause of the storm, you see something frightening. four giant beasts, hungry for light circling a pipe like building. you know you have to get throigh without being seen by the krill, and you manage to. the rocks keep hurdling towards you, but you manage to avoid them, until, you reach the temple, or the entrance to the eye of eden...
part two!
the wind is unbearably strong, and the place is in total ruins. scattered everywhere, are the petrified bodies of fellowskykids, some old, some new. the wind is harsh, throwing rocks at you, that your try to avoid, but fail. you come closer to a skykid petrified corpse, and you see a frozen teardrop. you give a piece of your wings to the corpse, as a death gift. you know youll end up like them too, if you fail.
the wind is unbearable, and the plummet of rocks doesnt stop. there is nowhere to hide. you are almost out of your cape light, and you realise. you’re doomed.
giving up, you collapse to the floor, exhausted, but quickly and swiftly get back up. i have to stop this, I have to get to the eye. the elders are watching over me, i can’t fail them now, since all of my land is in my hands you walk, and creep slowly towards the eye, but it is no use. with the last ounce of your strength, you manage to reach arms length of the eye, but then
a pummel of rocks hit you, and you collapse to the floor
I failed you say to yourself
your body shatters, and your spirit is free
you have died

i guess i wrote a little too much 
no such thing as too much in this channel server
yeah it’s quite short
just pacing and unnecessary filler words makes it look long
I love your story N!! because I actually believe that skykids' true purpose was to somehow stop the giant red diamond, and they are always failing in that regard
megabird’s disappointed in us so she gave us more chances to save the kingdom sjdhdj
you failed, but you may try again
Technically it collapsed a longgg long time ago before skykids were sent
when we succeed the game ends
the game ends when we give up
we can see it's still collapsing. not done yet
yeah that's the alternate ending, a sad one>giving up
Is it weird that after every eden trip I went too, I never skipped the credits
nah
it’s too beautiful with aurora singing in the background
and then the image that starts to form
Is it even weirder than I learned the credits music on piano 🤪
(In real life..)
I was gonna post it on sky music but I was scared that nagati or some other community shepherd was gonna be like
“HEY, SKY INSTRUMENTS ONLY, REMOVE THAT POST NOW
”
please post it i wanna hear
yeah! ive seen people posting irl recordings
me too i wanna hear!
SKYMII THE DOORS

FIX THEM
Skymii kicked the stone door so we should fix their foot
HHSHSBDBSD
should be broken
KICKS DOOR AGAIN post it Jay pls 
the lore’s gonna escape

THE LORE’S GONNA ESCAPE STOP
pls post...
^u^ pls do!
part three!
you close your eyes, only to open them again. is this a dream? you say to yourself. you feel a falling sensation, as if falling through clouds. your cape, its gone. a soft thud, and you hit a floor. you lay there for a moment, looking up at the blackness around you. out of the corner of your eye, you see a soft luster, and turn your head in its direction. sitting there, huddled up, is a another skykid, althoigh this one looks more like a star. it sounds like its crying, and your start to feel sympathetic. you use your very little strength to stand up, and start slowly walking towards the star. it glows brighter and brighter, and its sobs get louder and louder. all of a sudden, the star looks up, face drenched in tears. you hold out a hand to help it up, and the star grabs on. it doesnt need to explain, you already know why its here: the same reason as you.
as an empathetic gesture, your offer it a hug. as soon as you and the star touch, you feel the sensation of energy flowing through your body again. your cape is back, and you are glowing with radiant energy. you see a beam of light shooting from below, and you know where its coming from: the eye. the eye you failed to stop. the eye that is continuing to destroy all of the land. as you draw closer to the beam, an energy starts lifting you up, and up. you dont know where you’re going, but you dont choose to struggle
you let it take you.
part four!
before your eyes, you see a scene upon where you are flying. you look sround and see familiar buildings. you go on and see butterfly pots, race down a snow slide, and onto king jellyfish. old memories from your journey. you fly, onward, alongside other creatures, manta, birds, and a whale. then you see the ruins of eden, rocks swirling in a hurricane. you embrace for impact when a rock you see was about to hit you. nothing. the rock shattered upon coming in contact with you. its all just my memories you realise. and up you go. up. up. up. past the lost castle of eden, home and tomb of the eden elder, long gone, and in ruins. you’ve heard stories of the great father, how he was destroyed, and created everything. but up you go. into the light.
part five!
up and up, you’re in a strange place. you see, other bodies swimming through the air. the spirits you’ve rescued, the spirits you’ve freed. you try to fly closer to one, but it turns away. you try to fly near another one, but it turns away too. you manage to fly near a spirit, and it gives you a smile as it realises you’re here, gifting you light. you fly near the rest, and they smile at you too. suddenly, a whirl of light comes near you. is that... a skykid? you say to yourself
but it wasnt just one, more and more start passing by you
heading in a different direction.
you see where they are all going, and you see just how many creatures of light are heading towards it too. the giant orb of light. it was blindingly beautiful, like all your worries could go away. you were drawn to it, like a moth to a flame, and joined the rest of the creatures. you fly towards it, bumping into other skykids on your way
you’ve drawn so close, you could touch it. you let it envelope you.
part six!
actually ill call off this story for the day
whats going on
story time,,,,
why isit story time 
Narey made it happen through sheer force of will 
So I may be shooting very far but (if I remembered this correctly) the only elder’s face carving?? thing that isn’t there is wasteland dad’s so I was thinking maybe the rest died first and then he was the last one to die
oh that’s just an old portal design being reused
the only elder not there is isle i think
i’m not sure if it has any lore connections lmao
isnt isle grandpa@mr long face on the left
i thought it was vault because that wasnt part of the story yet when the design was created
but now i dont know if the center one is vault or gw...
so who is mr long face on the left??
Thought that was prairie for a sec
i thought prairie was the one on the right
long face looks like Prairie
his face is too long
theyr eyes light up with their color of ewch portal if u go home after u go thru last part in eden
maybe i dont remember what the elders look like akdksk
Hmmm
Usually Mirian or seraph posts this by now but that door design is a game mechanic from old beta
Before , isle didn’t count as a level, jus a starting stage. So isle wasn’t put on the door and I honestly forgot the rest but sooner or later they will explain it
the eden portal used to be in aviary, which was between isle and praire, isle was the tutorial, aviary was the hub for the ‘’main’ levels
Isle didn’t count as a kingdom in the sky cuz it was an island bellow the storm
Maybe he didn’t have enough power to be represented in the Eden Gate
i'll just go ahead and requote Mirian's message
Mirian:
The design explanation for that is because the same model of the Eden portal we have now was taken from the aviary. Back then, you awakened in isle and after finishing the level you would go to the aviary and hear the prophecy about getting each elder blessing to face the storm (eden). Each level had a portal for you to visit and after you finished it, their mask would light up on the Eden gate and it would be available once all of them were lit
Isle wasn't really one of them, more like a prologue you would come back to after being reborn (you could still revisit isle, but it didn't have a portal like other levels)
Some people have the theory that isle and eden are related on the process of rebirth, and that's why it wasn't included before and now!
or maybe with all the design changes and being born in home now, and isle being a proper level they just didn't update the door
Maybe
Found something interesting about this pic
6 ships fleeing
2 of them destroyed
1 in 2 pieces and the other one in multiple pieces
The top of this portal is broken in half
hmmm broken ones symbolising wasteland and forest maybe? or GW and isle (since beard elder had the shattered mask)?
And wasteland statue is broken in multiple pieces
The elder in wasteland in the cutscene falls from the highs then died
hmmm yeah battlepants statues is broken up in the wasteland meditation spot too
battlepants got battle damage
I wonder if the ship found in wasteland was his
oooooo
In this pic there are only 4 dudes on the side of the tower
wonder if those are the ones who couldnt flee from the battle
im late but
faces/elder masks are
valley: triangle shape split down in the middle
this represents the two valley elder twins
its also on their tombstone
vault is the even rhombus
(people get it mixed up eith forest)
forest is the longer rombus
kinda looks like an upside down standard kite
prairie is the flatter block face
Oops—
Do the elders have any official names?
I needa know because I’m including the elders in my fanfic ;w;
So I have a question
Skykids eat krabs? Or just elders eat krabs?
If skykids eat krabs, do they also eat krill?
I don’t think Skykids eat, they don’t have mouths for one thing 🤔
And their life-source is pretty much directly tied to flames/candles
It was the spirits that ate the crab
Skykids jus discovered the rotisserie spinner at wasteland
Also nerf don’t forget that those are old beta screenshots and aren’t canon to the current story anymore, they are scrapped ideas and vault has a new story and murals now. There may be similarities between the current sky and old beta but don’t depend too much on them as if they are the same thing
@warm reef they used to in older concepts, but were scrapped
Ah alright
Forest used to be teth and then there was...... honestly I forgot but they were based on Hebrew letters
There’s names from old concepts that some people still use I have the list if you want it
Isle- Tandi/Tsadi
Prarie- Aplin/Aylin
Forest- Teth/Tet
Valley spiky dude- Alef/Alet
Valley the other one- Daleth/ Dalet
Wasteland- Lamed (or Caleb as some people translated)
Vault- Samekh
Yupp, those are the concept art names. Hebrew letters
Should I use these names or come up with my own for the fanfic?
Whatever you want to do
Alright
I don’t think anyone’s gonna understand tho
They jus gonna be like “huh, who’s that, never heard that name before”
idk i might be remembering my god names wrong but
arent tet and samekh god names or smth
wasnt tet egyptian
what was sekhmet the god of again
ooou I never heard of that oneee 👀
wait was sekhmet the crocodile dude or the owl person
woah
does that match any of vault elder’s traits
nope
Samekh and sekhmet are 2 different things
Samekh is the 15th letter of the Hebrew alphabet and idk why they used it for a concept elder name but they did
awww i almost saw a connection
It no longer applies anyway
This name concept was back when the elders didn’t even look like the elders, they looked like a bunch of scholars with beards
wait so
granny elder had a beard
ok so
im gonna try to connect the elders to greek gods
actually
nvm thats too hard
didn’t some people already do that
This is what I was talking about, the elders jus looked like random dudes back then and it’s blurry but I’m jus tryna say it’s an old concept
The only Greek god connection I see is Orion to the wasteland elder
And I only thought of that bc they are both warriors 🤷🏻♂️
it’s weird that i can only remember forest aunt’s concept name
why is it engraved into my brain 
Sammeee
And don’t worry ur not the only one, a lot of ppl only remember teth
I personally call her kumiho bc that’s one of the ideas she was based on but Thas jus me
ooooo
Wether those are pics form beta or not they still lore Jay
let people have fun thinking about the lore
That’s what this channel is for
Oh shnap i do seem aggressive
I’m sorry if I ever turned down anyone’s theories or ideassss. You can theorize however u want, everyone has their view of things. I’ll keep my opinions to myself
opinions are cool, as long as we're all respectful of each other's opinions 
(and as long as we don't break server rules
)
Yea this one time someone had this theory about the forest elder and she sent a....
You know what
Nevermind
it’s alright jay you do have a point about it being old concepts and no longer applying to the current lore
what did forest aunt send though 
That’s the point of talking about lore
we try to put things together with the info we have
Whether it comes from art concepts, pics from beta, actual game or even dev interviews.
Some of the thing that were taken away in beta may come back later in the game. Who knows
@drifting copper it was a girl who had a fanart sketch/theory and it was inappropriate, that’s why I said “nevermind”
a h
Something inappropriate about forest auntie?
very inappropiate how did her brain produce such a concept
Yea it was deleted
good good
She deleted it actually, prolly meant it as a joke and then removed it before a community elder got to see it
ah
When she sent it, does it look like she was joking?
joke or not, if it’s not appropriate it doesn’t belong here
Is it jus me or did I jus see a picture of saruman touching a ball
We did
what happened

So I always noticed that the mural at forest was a bit odd and I knew it held lore but I could never really understand it fully. I always assumed that it jus represented the praire boats delivering the pots of light to the forest temple
But then I took a closer look and realized it looks nothing like the forest temple at all....
its bery short and fat
bery
That one looks more like wasteland
thats true
Yes and before the wasteland temple there’s another building
The one where u get the lookout spirit 
It looks suspiciously similar....
i thought it was the first building
it even has that pointy top and a smaller building
but its not the same
That does make sense; and that fallen temple could’ve been on top of that building
now im curious about all that other space in the building
But then again there’s 2 smaller upward points on the sides of the building
we only enter one room
Wdym?
and a room after that. but the buildings massive. i wonder what else is in there
oh im saying that the building from the outside looks huge. but inside we only access two rooms (the factory and the weird closet looking room)
I thought the sizes were proportioned actually
But even if it wasn’t, there’s a room transition so the size won’t be exact
wait nvm it doesn look like a building anymore
just a big fat wall
the actual buidling looks like the pointy thing
Factory border 👍🏼
yeah
YES THAT BUILDING
ok now that i see it it the mural looks a lot like the wasteland temple more than anything
Do u have a front view?
Nope lol
Well it’s good enough
That’s the building that resembles the forest murallll
Oh the tip is actually on the ground
I found it a while ago, I thought it was a pointy rock but it was the tip to the side part
i see it more of the wasteland temple
yeah
i wonder what that castle lookin building was for
I assumed it was sort of a border or like an entrance to the huge temple
thats a pretry weak border then LOL
WEAK BORDER LMAO
oh. just a thought
ik it doesnt rlly make sense but yknow how we now know that those king statues are turrets
i kinda just. imagined that the reason why most of the casualties are front of the temple is bc of the turrents; it kill them there—
maybe the turrets malfunctioned and killed them?
too bad they don’t work anymore because they don’t have the light energy supply
if the turrets things is actually true then its possible it killed a lot there
doesnt explain the spears theough shields
TITANS
yeah thinking about that it doesn’t make sense anymore
perhaps the war happened first, one side realised it isn’t ending soon, activates turrets and it didn’t go according to plan?
which might’ve gotten the wasteland elder to switch sides
they should have made it a more devastating scenery. make it look like a massacre yanno?
I think over time the sands/ash covered up much of it
(Besides this is supposed to be a family friendly game, so...)
it is a massacre by the fromt of the temple. it jjst doesnt really add up
True
i mean true
im curious about the catapult. its one of its kind
though the sand covering everything up overtime makes sense
someone here (o think nerf?) said that the big creatures were killed elsewhere amd was brough to the now graveyard area
hence why theres so much bones in one spot
i think the catapults were used to kill those creatues
forest 
Maybe some of them werent really dead there and had to use the carapult to finish them
👀
basically an execution area
creatures too weak to do anything being put out of their misery
though if they do that what did they use to kill them-
we all know the whales are tanks and can smash through anything
i mean catapults can launch really high i think
they can me emough to damage a big creature
that doesn’t really make sense nerf
if the creature falls to the ground they can just finish them off from the ground, they dont have to use a catapult
though catapults launching high up depends
theyre made of light, so if you extract light from them, you basically just kill them
like the butterflies for exampe
the one in graveyard doesn’t really go that high nor does it have a good speed
yep yep
was the catapult instead used against krills?

Dont think so
theres a lot of debate on krills
i personally dont think so bc i think krills are corrupted machines
think of detroit: become human, but theyre evil lol
Well in the art concetps you can see towers with blue light in wasteland
and sky kids hidding from them
i just think they put the krills instead of towers
i think that too but didn’t someone say all creatures in sky are natural
just to protect that area
are krills confirmed natural?
lyst the dude who said it were rhey a dev or in an livestream or what
Pretty sure of this
Maybe they were experimenting with loght creatures in wasteland
That was when elder creatures were still a thing
and they found the way to extract light form whale or just corrupt them and turn them into weapones
at this rate i don’t remember where i found it
but i remember that darkness has been a natural thing and the elders didn’t create it
Yess I read that too
They found it in forest
darkness existed before they were even in the clouds too
its in the intro i believe
so dark creatures being made out of darkness and the fact they take our light i probably got that from somewhere
oh yeah probably that one jay
Yea I remember those words anywhere, it’s hage’s doc
dankness
Sadly he don’t come to this chat anymore but he was a good theorist and I learned a lot from him
U think?
Nope, I know
iirc seraph or mirian said so
Back then darkstone would be EVERYWHERE and in eden u would have it coming out of ur body as u slowly die
we dont know for sure if its that orb
Orbs can be a lot of things
There’s orbs at isle, the eden mural and that one spirit on forest and WHAT
THEY ABSORB OUR WIFE
Oh nooo not our wivesssss 😭😭
hide yo kids, hide yo wives
ABSORB OUR W I F E
HABABBABAP
I COME BACK FROM VALLEY’S ICE RICK TO SEE DARK STONE ABSORBING OUR WIVES
Get ur hot milk and go to sleep
it’s afternoon this is too early for me to lose my mind again
agaIn?
Ok lemme watch the spirits memory again bc I forgot why he mad and why he gotta ball
gotta ball
also again yeah
a few days ago i only had 3 hours of sleep and uh chaos lmao
that looks a bit big for it to be the orb
ive said before that i think its just a ball of light lol
like the ones we catch for the quests, but it smaller
😨
light thats been extracted from light creatures (or however) and compacted into a physical material, being transported via jars on their way to wherever the boats are going
U don’t kno.....
Yeah and there a couple of boats with containers on en in that area
Is that necessary,Jay?
who r u saying that to jay
Ok anyways I’ve watched 3 different YouTube videos and a bunch of screenshots and stuff from pinned messages
It’s hard to tell what the spirit story is, he was walking and then he found a ball, then he picked up the ball and that’s it. He got mad all of a sudden and boom, end of story
lol i always joked how the angry spirit is angry cus they had to do labour and the balls heavy 
That would be more accurate 😆
I was saying it to u
And I said u don’t kno bc I thought u heard me or someone else explain the diamond thingy before
But too keep it as short as possible, praire made pots of light and they held butterflies, those butterfly pots were put in boats and sent to the hidden forest, the hidden forest grabbed these pots and combined the light inside them with organic material to make a power diamond. This process was done using a diamond press and the diamond press it at the forest temple
Wow I tried to make that short but it still ended up being a paragraph 😂
Jay that orb has the same rainbow ish colours the plants have
Don’t know how to explain that lol
But take a closer look at the orbs if u can
eh mines version just a side theory for
I thought it was some ball and it was his pReCiOuS ballL and then he accidentally broke it and got mad
that sentence of mine made no sense
But more rainbow ish colours
that lil theory of mine is just nothing serious
Rainbow ball
Lol
no not 4 SQUARE BALL
He got mad bc he was gona play 4 square with his bros and then he popped the ball on accident
