"07 | DAWN
acceptance, wisdom, sacrifice, loss
Descendants learn their meaning of existence from reading ancient paintings in vault. They walk through the storm to meet the king. The storm is fierce and cruel, wearing them down, making them weak. In the end, they decide to sacrifice themselves and give all their inner light to one strongest descendant. The last one standing then faces the prince."

scroll down to the Dawn section
@amber glen that's specifically the king picture
Well he would have been the boss
Old Orbit concept
https://i.imgur.com/RYgTw63.jpg
true
they really emphasized sacrifice in the old concept
there's one section that was suggesting one player or descendent (not really sure of the difference) sacrifice themselves for the group to continue
in Wasteland
sorry for the large blocks of text
"05 | DUSK
death, hostile, perseverance, recover
Descendants carefully move through the deserted castle, collecting knowledge and stories along the way. They finally find a safe route, but the exit is blocked by a group of dark creatures. They summon an ancient(worrior), who start destroy everything. Descendants work together to wake him up. The awakened ancient then turn to fight dark creatures. One descendant also has to sacrifice here to help fight off dark creatures, so that others can leave safely."
It's the perfect place to write in large blocks
I’m hoping for krill stories
ooh yes
It's weird to see a bright krill
reminds me of Belonging, but it's better
The story concepts are so good.
wait wait wait, these things light up as we get the coloured lights?
@amber glen yup
it was blank before
That's a really cool thing to add to seasons
Wonder if the ark will stay after season ends.
@inland narwhal I saw someone saying it will but I'm not certain
It wasn't someone from staff
theoretically it should, unless they will remove it after then return it for a traveler
but I don't think we've had confirmation yet
yeah
plus there's 2 winged light
Most likely is going to stay then
But the spirits would go, I hope they would fill the area up a bit
So for next season I hope they add new area at vault as well.
Would be cool
would be nice
Also for isle in next next season.
the new area in Vault was added in Belonging
Isle was changed during Belonging as well, I think
we had a lot of changes for that season
Pineswood was added then too
I thought for belonging they added the sunny forest
oh, and Valley
Sunny Forest was there, Pineswood is the (unofficial) name for the caverns underneath because Pines (aka Ash) did the art for it
Sunny Forest has been there for a long time
Oh
don't think there's an official name for the cavern
I saw someone claim it underground cavern
honestly, the only area not to get a major upgrade for a long time is Prairie
Prairie was only changed slightly to make gameplay easier for new players
we haven't had a major addition
I miss the old pairie
they added the one cave for Lightseekers
and the other structure for Belonging
but yeah, the major parts of that level are better left unchanged
true
would love a major expansion
For tutorial level they should add more candles to isle. And tells player how candle is forge.
😂
was kind of hoping the one prairie oob that I can no longer access would be made into a real part
@inland narwhal agreed
What's the prairie oob?
though it kind of makes more sense to introduce that in Prairie
It would be win win for both new players and old.
as you learn flying ---> candles ---> etc.
I don't have pictures of the oob, but basically you used to go to the area with the cave in Prairie then fly up to the right?? of the cliffs surrounding the clouds and there was this area that looked unfinished but you could see there (you couldn't fly there because wind walls). It was a bunch of floating islands and a ramp
I'll see if I can find a video or picture
Aren’t the floating islands bird nest and the pairie itself
oh, i think ive tried to get up there but it just teleport me out
yeah
It teleports back to pairie start right?@granite plaza
So that area is not accessible anymore?
you can see the floating ramp on the right
it would teleport me to the constellation gate
no, it teleports you away
ohh no i dont think ive been up there
That looks like village
found one
Those are pairie start, not social center
It’s been so long I have oob
oob is sometimes nice for new perspectives on areas and possibly lore
these pictures were taken before the update to Prairie
The removal of this is pretty much the biggest update we’ve had for Prairie, so I kind of think we’re overdue for more lore and expansions
oh cool, it's still there!!
Yup.
got kicked back a few times so I thought it was taken out
Nice
but a lore expansion in Prairie would be nice to kind of see the history of the spirits before whatever happened in Wasteland
@cold steppe been trying to click this one but it teleports needs out
there used to be a hole that you would fall in if you jumped off the ledge in a certain place and you could have trouble getting out
Hey guys, someone said that the crabs try to hide themselves as pebbles when the blue krill light is on them
I can’t confirm but I will try to hop on later to see
I mean I would If I were a crab
I got an idea
Toss a crab next to a krill spotlight
im pretty sure they do !
turn into pebbles
idk if thats like an actual thing or not but ive seen it happen
i havent seen it enough to prove it tho
Crabs do a weird thing with their eyes when they’re scared
😮
mommas mad
I’m over here thinking crabs are friends with krill
oh I thought the crabs were like baby krill
I’m so slow, why haven’t I known this earlierrr
This basically shows that krills are jus ruthless creatures who attack any type of life, dark or not. They attack skykids, mantas, crabs and the spirits that used to be there.
Hmmm
It would b interesting if we saw a krill attack another krill
Oh that would be cool. I wonder if there is a way to make it happen

@amber glen power diamonds and dark stone are the same things
@cold steppe in the intro the devs confirmed it’s the elders falling, the murals in isle it’s not confirmed
@inland narwhal if the intro aka the first cutscene in the game is to be trusted chronologically then 6 elders fells then the eden elder fell then at the same time the eden elder died and the storm was released destroying their civilisation
OK ok so... Is. There any explanation lore-wise that some worlds are better than others?
I mean
There are ruins all over
Were they supposed to be left in ruins at the same time?
Or it was something progressive in the destruction of this world?
I just realized that spirits lived after the ruin things happened
There’s the sneak spirit in wasteland and it interacts with a krill
Maybe there was people/spirits before and after the catastrophe
And they couldnt survive for too long
???
Oh and another question I have is: the ark could fly or was it supposed to navigate water? 🤔
Could be both tho, but in my mind that answer could bring us clues on what the wasteland was before the storm/war (asumming the storm or war was what desolated it)
Crab looks bigger than you
That's Chibi 😅
Yup 😅 I use chibi because it's so funny
I wonder if you were to lead a krill into another krill, what would happen
Or a crab into another
I don’t think they would do anything though
this mural implies the existence of bigger crabs
or the crab is closer because I don't want to think about giant crabs
We have giant crabs in the archive and valley temple
The big ones u can’t carry

We do? Oh no
I wonder if there were giant krill then. Not that the ones we have now aren’t big...
Idk about size but Eden krills are a bit more powerful than normal ones
Yep, the KAE (Krill Absorption Effect) replaces the KDE (Krill Deflection Effect)
What ARE those patterned rocks in the krabob fire, and are they a fire source in themselves? I think each one has a gold hexagon inscribed on it, which is a bit odd when most the the shape motifs are either 4-sided or 8-sided. Also, if you just chill out above crab range and watch the one patrolling the firepit, it attacks the center of the fire (and occasionally jumps up onto the rotating krabob pole before falling back off). It’s not just trying to attack observers; sometimes it would be directly under me and charge away from me into the fire.
And why are eyes of the giant skewered crabs still glowing?
I seen those patterned rocks u are talking about and I always wondered about them too
They are in many places and they are all in a fast recharging campfire
I don’t remember all of them but I do remember seeing them in eden social space and in the forest social space
Wait.....I think it was wasteland social space
Ahhh I don’t remember
Oh, and upthread the bigger mural crab has MORE LEGS (but the krabob jumbos don’t)
cursed thought: what if they’re a pair of swol arms
I went out of bounds in the forest area with the underground cave and-
Under the map there were water physics and noises. Am convinced the whole world under the clouds is a flooded ocean
It’s not jus forest
Almost everywhere actually, if u land to the bottom oob, there will be a water surface
I believe there was an explanation why it was there but idk it on top of my head
oh I managed to ask a dev about the water once in general chat, lemme fish it out
hhh I can’t jump to it to copy paste but here’s reika’s response: https://discordapp.com/channels/575762611111592007/575827782144098304/685288357114281986
Shipwreck ship is completely different from Ark; have no idea why the former has a “sentinel” tower built onto it like the ones in front of Wasteland temple
TO SHOOT KRILLZ1
maybe it's for decoration
Ohhh thank you for showing me that @delicate belfry makes a lot of sense
whoa that’s s cool detail I never noticed. in concept art those towers were pitched as laser towers but didn’t make it to final build
that'd be one extra thing for Skykids to dodge!
josefin: I joke that the toilet flooding in the office is so out of control it flooded all the maps 
Well obvs the krill-shooting towers DID NOT WORK
(munitions contractors saying “what we thought you meant towers that shoot krills out at things, not shoot things at krills”)
maybe it backfired
So.. about this pic I took from #questions-and-help. Someone said it was just a hole in the build. But could someone confirm that for me? If not then is that an SOS signal of sorts!?
in the Ark Mural, there were smaller boats following big boi boAt. At the part where big boi boAt peeps tumbled down, the boat with the green light was still up
A survivor!?
gotta open the image
oh that’s an old meditation spot left over from beta.
buuut I like your theory tho 
at least I now know the answer to this question for anyone that ever asks again..

I'll go hunting for stuff around in the game
OOh
i came up with something
but... how it got there? coz that's a little far away, I would like to see how it look like
Tho considering the hammer-shaped slot in the deck behind the tower, I wonder if that one is actually meant to represent Forest Aunt in some way
is the world of Sky the same as Earth/ Do some Earth stuff apply?
specifically the height of different atmosphere layers
@spice kernel idk my town looks like gw tbh
kek
lol like mjolnir? so heavy it broke the roof
buut that hole is really handy for moths. If you stand on the lantern in there and look up thru the hole, you can see the krill pass overhead and know when it is safe to fly.
Can Forest Aunt spike her hair into weapons like Hela
Ooh, like one of the orbs
Oh my gosh, I see a symbol in the orb
I'll put it through Gimp and see if I can find out what the image is
There we go
Anyone make out what that is?
nope
Maybe a flower?
It kind of looks like it has antlers
Does it remind anyone else of Deer mask?
Like the butterfly clouds in wasteland?
a very vague shape of one
Yeah
But even then, what would it’s significance be? The deer mask is from Gratitude, right?
I posted something in screenshots that might relate to lore not sure
Repost just incase :3
Yeah, exactly, so maybe if we can research some important things from Lightseekers we can try and identify what it’s supposed to be
It could also be part of the drawing of the orb
Thanks, @rose yacht ^^
To help you with your orb situation I’ve exposed the centre a bit ^-^
It looks like a stickman with a dumpling for a head diving down lol
or looks like a white crab with two legs doing a split XD
Lightseekers were creb seekers all along 
maybe not an artist error but just something to fill in that space so its not just a solid circle in the center
you cant buy the beta cape, its the founders cape
U can buy it if ur in the office
And Nairobi, u should prolly ask in #questions-and-help or #looking-for-group-live
Ah thanks I did know where I should’ve asked
hey, I noticed smth
when you collect normal wax, it's red dots
but when it comes to seasonal wax, the wax itself is yellow and shaped as the symbol of the season. Could that suggest that the spirits had control/ manipulation over light/ fire?
I mean, us Skykids are clay infused powered by power diamonds with capes of light and uh
power diamonds were made from ground-up butterflies, which creatures of pure light
but erm
that only shows they can do stuff with light but not quite manipulate it fully..?
I used an app called snapseed which I downloaded years ago. Not sure if it’s still available but it’s one of my favourite phone editing software
ok thanks
@Ybb#3341 the devs have also said they hope that Sky is the first in a series
A series? Like, more apps?
Or games for other platforms
Oh, ok. They're releasing to Switch in the summer
this mural implies the existence of bigger crabs
@desert sun where in the caves is this mural? I’ve never seen it before
I wonder if there were giant krill then. Not that the ones we have now aren’t big...
@night sleet there’s two giant horn things piercing the shipwreck so I for one believe in the existence of the megakrill and accept our new lord and saviour
@celest spoke krabs eat all sources of light including campfires
@celest spoke those sentinel towers match concept art of the king exactly, they’re also present at the end of graveyard and surrounding+ontop of the wasteland temple
Seems like ur keeping everyone in check 😂
Also the king statue on the ship wreck had a concept of it being like a turret, idk if that still applies to the current version tho
Two giant horns piercing the ship? That’s a stretch, that is definitely 100% lightning in a storm.. the game even hints at us entering a storm when we hop on the boat and travel to the new area the clouds are filled with lightning
is the world of Sky the same as Earth/ Do some Earth stuff apply?
@spice kernel the orbit was on top of the earth in light awaits but now I have no idea what’s happening lol
ouch
@mossy bay the shipwreck not the ark
There’s two physical horn thingies actually embedded in the shipwreck where the boat splits
That’s fine haha
They’re on the side of the ship with the message candles, you can see the tops of them on that floor and the rest of them on the floor below
Do you think we’re made out of dark stone? But we’re animated by pure light. Then you have corrupted creatures who are also made of dark stone but animated by corrupted dark light?
I think corrupted creatures are creatures of light transformed by darkstone rather than made out of dark stone... following that I suppose they're made of corrupted light
Thanks for the link Hage! Appreciate it . I wish there was more lore on the krills 
Np! As I point out in those links they don't match krill horns in appearance or length so my pet theory is ~megakrill~
Maybe that's what's hidden beneath the sand at the ark 
Yeah possibly, I was just about to point out that it looks very similar to an earth auger drill
I need to go and take a look for myself though in one the the pictures the spikes look diagonal
oooh I’d like a megakrill as the antithesis to the megabird
that way crabs can have something to return to too
megacrab also acceptable
those horns are flat and zigzag, definitely not round
I'd like to take this moment for everyone to appreciate the megaderp
🐦
Tree trunk or a creature's body?
every time I see that thing I freak out for a moment
are those branches or roots
forest trees seem to only have roots
Managed to stich all together
I had a thought, if
is found where darkness prevails maybe it's strong life or hidden life energy
Spirals
Can represent:
PortAls
Hypnotisation
And uh
Journies
Gateways
Water? No there's a symbol
Maybe look at the spirits clothing?
where I’m from, the spiral represents new life and growth
having this new season begin with a spiral makes a lot of sense to me
Where darkness prevails: space? The universe? Source of all life and light? Connection to source?
I feel like I’m missing something from the ark murals, what do you all think this trail is?
Most people are saying it’s the mega bird but it looks like it begins from whatever happens here
Also the trail begins and ends on the same part of the ark
Here’s a video of a crab being scared by a krill and attacking me
Just in case you guys need it
Why doesn’t it follow the spirits on their journey?
Hmm
Thanks @sturdy gate
Maybe the light somehow transformed into the elements?
But I still can’t understand why the elements didn’t fall from the boat
It looks like the elements were contained in the ark so they fell with it. The ark is cracked open so who knows where the rest are now, the red one stayed quite close to the area so maybe that also holds some significance as well
The trail even continues once the light is captured
Hmm
I’m wondering what those little heart things are
Maybe butterflies?
There are more on the other side of the ark
Yeah either butterflies or birds
Hold on a sec
I just realized something
It’s an ark
They were trying to save something from the war
Like save it from getting in the wrong hands?
I think I'm missing a huge bunch of lore discussion
From the spirits memories, I don't think the ark crashed
They were camping there
Pots
It could have been a krill attack
There was a krill in the valley behind our boat's landing point
I saw it
Maybe back then krills had like more vision
Anyway
Back to ark
If you go further beyond the ship
There are fields
Possibly they were going to settle there
Like a civilisation
@mossy bay that trail is the flow of light /leading/ to and from the megabird, only one part is the bird itself
I don’t believe the red light we collect is from the ark but is where red light generates
The ark definitely crashed, the intro says the spirts were lost out there or something? Plus there’s the mural of the ark crashing
What I’m really interested in that at the sites of the three big ark/ship crashes there’s pools of contaminated/light-drained water
maybe the dark-water leaked out of those jars they had onboard
They should've seen it from a distance 🤦
That's what u get for not planning your outings.
(sorry it was a bad joke)
(ehm whu cares :3)
Maybe it accidentally came there?
Is the krill we see there the same one that brought down the ark? I think I saw a krill “tooth” in the ark- if it’s the same krill, does that mean that those spike/tooth things grow back?

Krills have skeletons right?
I’m not sure actually (could have exoskeletons?)
Good thought! That could be
It didn't have strong tooth at that time
And thus it broke
During attack of the titan ark
Another theory
What was the boat made of?
Wood?
I assumed it was made of stone like most of the other boats we see but I’m not sure
Could definitely be wood
i mean it looks like stone, but it might just be bc its been there for so long
the others look like stone too tho
but again, could just be like stone looking wood??
Stone is vulnerable
To krill
Of course
It could be some other material
What makes boats float?

I assumed the power diamonds, but that might just be conjecture lol
Maybe krill teeth are designed to fall out if they get stuck and later grow back, similar to how geckos’ tails work or something
Yeah some snakes also work like that
The krill's tooth got stuck to whatever place
To escape, it disconnected its tooth
What reset of eden mean?
Thanks @hollow pier but I still can’t see how it’s the megabird? Are there any murals of the megabird that show it depicted the same way?
Is there a collection of Canon lore anywhere?
yes, there's some in the pins
Anyone here have ideas of what this is?
@lilac stone I firmly believe the order we’re shown things in is the chronological order that they happened which would mean the krill came after the crash. I don’t believe a shipfull if spirits would abandon their post either when the shipwreck was destroyed before by something bigger than a krill without running away
@mossy bay this is what everyone is seeing (tenuous but arguable as recognisable)
https://discordapp.com/channels/575762611111592007/632004389137154048/702505497550651432
@hollow stream that's the area from the Isle Lightseekers spirit
Not much of an explanation Wren
but we don’t really know much do we other than that some spirits prayed to it
Ok, so I once saw a player carrying one of those orbs of light. Has anyone else seen this or have pictures? I’ve never seen or heard of it since. I was a moth then, so I didn’t get a picture.
@hollow stream @hollow pier @cold steppe
Please don't cold mention other users.
@vestal hawk I’m not, this is in relation to their conversation about the orbs from the isle of dawn.
There’s a spirit the angry spirit that carries an orb
Perhaps the that’s what you were seeing when you were a moth?
No, I saw a player carrying one. I’m not talking about the spirit in the forest level that carries one in its memory.
I’ve never seen this and never saw seen it mentioned here before, I did miss a few months between jan-mar but I’ve read everything else
@humble barn @sly kestrel have you ever seen this or heard of it?
I saw a player finding one of those orb in the mid air in Isle
but they were not carrying it
perhaps the juggling emote Lv 3?
When I say carrying, I mean it was strapped to their back like an equipped instrument/item. Not the juggling emote.
Are sky children naturally born? Or made by elders?
@pallid citrus that sounds like the drum? From the side the drum face is blinding white
@flat charm I believe skykids are we formed from light brought together by the megabird
In this theory they’re not born but made
Any concept art of the megabird?
there are many. check the pinned posts
this is how drum looks from the side @pallid citrus
I mean, I guess it’s possible, but I’m pretty sure I saw an orb. It was more yellow in color than what’s in the picture, and I saw it not just from the side.
This is a stretch but it might have been the Afro Wig?
I really wanna know what caused the downfall of the ancestors/elders 
My theory had been that it’s a beta tester’s item or a developers secret item 🤷♂️
There is a spirit in the office wielding a spear after all 🤷♂️
I really wanna know what caused the downfall of the ancestors/elders
@flat charm over-cultivation of power diamonds. One day, they went boom boom UmU
Yeah that's one thing, but what really caused them to harness that power? is one of the elders hunger/greed for power?
Before the eye of eden went boom boom 😂
So much speculation on this season of enchantment, so this is my theory. I try to explain as short as I can. I group the murals on the ship into 2 parts.
Part 1 (1-4) - i like to think that this combined part tells a story. If see carefully, there are 3 groups of people base on the cosmetic they have. Right, middle and left people. People at the left side (pic no1) with umbrella and hat seems from orbit, i think are the elders, delivering star to the 6 spirits in the middle (pic no3), the spirits then convert and contain the stars into the elements as what we think it is, and give it to the land people (pic no4). The land people then supposedly release the energy to the nature.
Part 2 (5 -6), this is where the 6 spirits together with the leader spirit and few other ships go on a voyage, and was struck by lightning. The symbol that we think was elements may not what we think it is, it may be something that the spirits want to transport or deliver but stranded on wasteland forgotten ark.
@pallid citrus the only thing pre launch beta testers got was the beta cape, and the developers don’t walk around wearing unreleased items, you either mistook the item or you saw a hacker
The sky people worship krill?
If they don't why does it have light?
What's going on here?
They're releasing light or something?
looks like spells to me
Also by the way I see it
I think skykids are just hollow shells
Containing something
They don't show emotion at all
They Mimic it from spirits
The murals are just telling a story it doesn’t mean they worship the krill
It’s showing the krill attacked the ships they were using
Behind that mask of theirs
They wear it to make themselves seem more
Human...

They're shells
Maybe when like the spirits died
Their bodies formed skykids
wAKe mE uP iNSiDe

We can see the see the spirit’s bodies trapping their spirit so we purify it away leaving nothing behind
I personally don’t believe sky kids are the ancestors bodies
Im not sure what ball this is, but its all smoky now
Looks like it used to be a colored light
Yeah, it’s what used to be the red light from the quest
Also, I’m not sure if anyone has been to orbit since the update earlier this month, but the eternal bird looks more like a wizard making the children into existence
I doubt the Spirits would worship a Krill lol. (It's a nice concept tho, offering the Krill light energy inside the orbs)
The Krill is golden bcz that's the only paint the artist ("Nod nod" spirit) had when she did the murals
Isn’t that how to find the shrooms
Yeah it is
oo we r probably going to have the entire ark revealed
and maybe the rest of the murals too
They are not releasing light, they are gathering light or energy from nature and contain it in the little circle, and gave it to the 6 spirits
Suddenly have a realisation, and give a 2nd theory to my first one here
https://discordapp.com/channels/575762611111592007/632004389137154048/703654226332483654
Part 1 -if looking at the mural as a sequence, It'll have a different story. The elders in orbit bring stars with them and give it to the 6 spirits, the spirits then convert and contain the stars into the elements as what we think it is, and give it to the land people. The land people then supposedly release the energy to the nature.
Part 2 - the spirits then carry the elements and set on a voyage to deliver them to the land people, but struck by lightning, and stranded in wasteland forgotten ark.
I think this one is more accurate, since it explain on the mural, whereby the spirits contain the star to the circle elements.
Theory on Forgotten Ark
Nice editting, i like it!
Thanks 🙏
Sure
Thank you so much.
@inland narwhal it’s a long one but there are some similarities! https://imgur.com/gallery/TG4sjPI
@mossy bay wow thats very detailed.
I failed to notice that they were light seekers.
I mean they do resemble with hat.
And you also manage to notice normal spirits.
Thank you, I like your theory about the spirits being in despair and seeking a power source
Look carefully at the boats behind. Air swapped to earth.
Ties in with them praying to the stars for a miracle to appear?
I noticed that and it really confused me for a while I thought that there were 3 ships that accompanied the ark, one in front and two behind but now I’m not too sure
Another theory: those elemental orbs somehow mutated the whale fish and turned it to krill.
Is plausible! The whale could have been lurking in the clouds and out popped a krill 🥺
Maybe they switched the air element to earth to try and ground the boat and protect it from the lightning strike? That’s a real stretch though 🤷🏽♂️
Or they gave the air to valley and while passing through wasteland to deliver earth. They got caught in storm.
So the earth never made to wasteland which would have regrown all the plants in desert.
Ur guys’s theories sort of sound exactly like mine
One idea that I have is how the storm was created. I think all those elements together caused an unstable power and this is what attracted the deadly storm. The compressed power of psychic, illusion, air, water, earth, and fire allllll in one boat. Also another idea I have is that the people who found the light, with all the umbrellas and hats, I think it was the spirits from the lightseeker season
The enchantment spirits could be the ancestors who survived the storm. They ate mushrooms and copied crabs for fun. Trying to purify water.
I think the enchantment spirits are the scholars who took and refined the light. And because they were stranded in the desert, they took off their head plates and replaced it with desert clothes. Also there was no way of any escape, so they had to stay and settle in the desert living on mushrooms and even making farms. (Scare spirit)
That’s what I said. But you said better.
And play fight spirit. She was trying to grow mushrooms too
This is how I viewed it, so we all kno the spirit got mad at the scare spirit bc he made her drop a mushroom. Since this was their food I think she was like “UGHHH U IDIOT THAT WAS OUR DINNER”

Scare spirit been naughty and starved.
Latina noises*
Well, I think that’s everything
All of my other ark details on my theory are basically the same as urs in ur edit.
My story sounds depressing.
Ig that means my story sounds depressing as well
Actually.....the whole sky story is depressing
Everyone DIED and their civilization crumbled and left in ruin
And then mb decided to send a bunch of kids to fix their mistakes
While kids with no enough information are called to do bidding. And dying to give lights back.
To make things worse
They grinded up innocent butterflies in factories so they can make their power diamonds 😭
—> 💎
No. As you can see in pairie cutscene those are lights.
The pairie elder shapes lights to buttery
Buttery
Well we all have our opinions and interpretations
But
Imma send it anyway
So this is about the theory of diamond production and the purpose of flying boats. Boats are mainly for the use of carrying pots of light, Reika even said boats are mechanisms for carrying the pots. You can see these pots of light being made at prairie and I say pots of light because there are butterflies put inside them. In the wave emote cutscene, u can actually see one of the flying boats carrying pots of light.
These pots are being shipped to forest to make power diamonds, they combine the light with organic material at forest and use a diamond press to combine them into an artificial Star, or what we call “power diamond”. You can actually see the concept of this by looking at the forest temple door mural. To add even more details, right when u enter forest the text on the bottom says to “discover an ancient power”. The pic below is another way of looking how power diamonds are made and how forest built them. This diamond press in the picture is also seen at the golden wasteland, and there’s a krill flying around it. It may be broken down but it is noticeable that it is the same factory. Also the shipwreck at wasteland is seen to be carrying certain pieces of this diamond press, it goes to the top and sides. Now I know there’s boats everywhere and not all of them are carrying pots of light, so I jus assume they are for transportation since the people on the ground can’t fly naturally
Noice
73rd time sending it
And I call the factory a diamond press bc it said that a giant press is used to stamp it into a diamond
Sooooo, I eventually got the name “diamond press”
If we were to exit Eden
I mean, when it’s possible to exit the gate
It would still just be a storm right?
So we would just be flinging everywhere
Until our corpse just lays somewhere
Nobody knows.
who knows whats past eden really
Reconnecting them with the light
I think that was how we saved the elders and brought them back home
U inspired me, I wanna make an edit now
I’m looking forward to it
What do u use to edit? 😂
I do everything on iMovie.
I have 100000 theories
Which one should I make an edit on?
Rise and fall of Sky
Maybe in chapters
Chapter 1: Rise of Sky
Chapter 2: Sky at glory
Chapter 3: Fall of Sky
Rise of sky, Isle, Praire, Forest
Sky at Glory, Valley
Fall of sky, Wasteland and eden
Vault.....ehhh idk where to put vault
Vault lasted a while, during the rise fall and end
Wasteland wasn’t always a wasteland.
No, part of it was glory
But
There was the battle and whatever event that caused it to be the wasteland, that’s why it counts as the fall
You can say during Sky at glory wasteland establish lots of factories which polluted the water and krill zone.
Since factories had light it was prone to krill attacks.
As krill attacks everything with light.
It was said that darkness was a natural part of the world
Maybe krill was part of that natural darkness
And yesterday I found out krill attack almost anything
Skykids, the people that used to be in wasteland, mantas, and apparently, crabs are scared of krill as well
Even tho they are both dark creatures I think krills are jus ruthless to anyone living
Poor crabs have witness many attacks to be scared.
Although, krills never attack other krills 🤔
Krills got bro code
And then again
Their spotlight never goes on another krill
U think if they do see each other there will be
KRILL FIGHT
There must be a reason why they perimeter separately. They don’t go same route. Exception only if they spot sky kid. Maybe krills are intelligent but too blind without their laser.
Idk about smart
I see savage, brutal, ruthless, and aggressive dark creatures
bc that would label them as savage rather than smart
Well think about it
If they were smart I think they would do a bit more than jus wander around lookin for something to attack
That’s all they do, fly and feed
No attack plan, no ideas, no thought, no nothing
It’s simply jus attack everything
xactly
if they were smarter theyd probably search the area more after u hide
they remind me more of like a wandering lost soul just drifting around not looking for anything in particular
They are smart but blind.
Cause they got only one eye.
Imagine if they had two eyes.
They remind me of these birds we have over here. They are aggresive to anything that gets close to their nest lmao
Maybe, it could be
Maybe krills were the original inhabitants of wasteland until ancestors decided to expand their realm.
And they used light to drove them out. Their shield and swords powered(as you can see in wasteland end cutscene the kid giving flame to elder on his spear). Until they ran out of light and krills was victorious.
True facts totally official and canon:
Krill are not evil. They are just lonely and want hugs. Unfortunately, they were born spikey, and this hurts delicate moths when they try to hug them. The red light you see is all their love. The blue light looks familiar; why is that? It's because it's the same blue light the ancestor spirits give off. Ancestor spirits are just front men for lonely Krills, which is why they charge in hearts for all the good stuff. These hearts go to Krill in need of affection.
Lonely krill.
cries in table and campfire-less
Under the fields
Catapult from below
Inside the oob part of the Ark
I was looking for clues but oob is not giving anything up
There are two huge round shapes towards the Krill side but cannot distinguish what they are. Wind barrier so unable to get closer. Maybe they are clouds.
Probably
Was scrolling above, actually this is what all the realms mean
Don’t need to spoiler
Idk but It's in ||the office||
I'll have that in mind
@cunning pelican hey actually your pics are very useful, you actually found some clue, but you just don't know it yet
Those office posters are jus old concepts of the game and each realm BUT
The fact that each realm represents a stage of life is still canon
Who sent the kids down to save spirits now?
Who's the light now?
Megabird?
Were the spirits stars?
The sky?
No are the spirits stars
I feel like light = megabird
Uh I don’t remember
Or are they winged light?
Elements
@pearl void happy there is a clue and hopefully I will be able to see it soon too
@cunning pelican I flew around that wind barrier a few days ago. Just cloud bubbles. Not sure why they used the sphere code, likely because they just needed the tops of them to poke through and it was easier to use the light ball shape code reference than to call on the cloud sine wave code.
@dull coral I thought they were clouds, wanted to recharge on them but could not touch them. But look kind of neat, two bubbles, one on each side
Hmm odd. Maybe something changed code wise but I could recharge on them Thursday.
I didn’t take video since I didn’t think it was of any note once I arrived
I was probably approaching from the windy side. Sometimes that does make a difference @dull coral
@flat charm I think it's supposed to be a cosmic supercluster.
@flat charm yep that’s the megabird
what's a megabird?
yea what's a megabird?
basically the god of the Sky universe i think
everything came from the megabird and you return spirits to the megabird
Ohh, that's interesting
We don't see it in game right?
Or is it the ball of mantas at the end of orbit
@lilac stone
The spirits were the people on the ground, the ones who fell were the 6 elders
This is the megabird, there're 2 places it can be seen, the credit part at orbit and the entrance of the office
Or is it the ball of mantas at the end of orbit
@grim siren I believe that's the megabird yes
No are the spirits stars
@lilac stone The stars that fell in the intro are the elders, the devs say so in a livestream
Winged light are imprints left behind by a person called a "Child of Light" I firmly believe that we meet this child of light when we die in eden
The megabird, according to concept art is part of the lifecycle of souls/light, and any death (like how the spirits died) prevents you from returning to the megabird
shiny bois.. And that sounds like phoenix, born after death
By Hage I believe
@sly kestrel what's this theory of mine? And yeah my name in the world of sky is Hage=Bald Jiisama=Old Man it made reika laugh when she read my livestream question haha
whenever I see someone calling you hage im like
OMG what if the cosmic mama manta is a manifestation of the Megabird?
It has a few flaps as it shows in the office pool, and there was a theory that it is what is corrupted into krill, with its wings all contracted into krill legs.
It has the long tail like the Megabird, and pointed beak, though less pronounced
wasn't that creature depicted in the vault cutscene mural?
Maybe these are the creatures who's bones are in the wasteland graveyard, as it is represented on the wasteland "floor" of vault
@humble barn let me dig that out, but I think so
Yes, it is, top right of that mural is one
so I thought it's something created by ancestors, either artificial or virtual
oh by the way Maelstrom it's just FYI but ⟐ being the sign for small or cute is confirmed to be a wrong information. we can ignore that
I mean the websites saying that are wrong
||Ever noticed eden and other places spirit stones look very much like gravestones?||
@humble barn haha it was mostly a joke on my part, but yeah good to know
I never noticed that spirit whale in that corner before
@lilac stone yes, they are even reminiscent to the gravestones in journey.
And they are "spirits".
And by the tomcept, pure death in Sky leaves no remains, but unpure leaves remnants.
WAIT I REALISED MAELSTROM you're riggghhhhttt
And sorry to start another thread topic, but someone transliterated the song at the end credits.
Maybe something to analyse.

that spirit whale is DEFINITELY what krill are corrupted from


@hollow pier
Wrong whale @lilac stone
@cobalt palm is it a made up language?!
@mossy bay yes
Because in Livestream 6, Atlas the creator of Vault talks about how each of the levels are based on the other realms of Sky
and in the wasteland level we have: ribcages from the graveyard and that spirit whale
😂🤣😭
The ONLY reason we'd have that spirit whale in the wasteland level of vault is because it's related to it
And the only creatures we have in wasteland are krabs and krill
Maybe these are the creatures who's bones are in the wasteland graveyard, as it is represented on the wasteland "floor" of vault
@cobalt palm maybe or probably!!!
Don’t forget mama tuna at the start of gw
@hushed steeple It's been noted and transcribed before actually
The skeletons in the graveyard don't match the tuna king
Skulls don't match the tuna king skull in forest
You think they are elder mantas?
could be!
Maybe these are the creatures who's bones are in the wasteland graveyard, as it is represented on the wasteland "floor" of vault
@cobalt palm I personally don't think the spirit whale is what left those skeletons, the ribs wouldn't fit inside them
@hollow pier no, we see whale bones in forest, and they are much smaller
Same reason I believe that the skeleton beneath the spirit manta on the valley level of vault isn't a manta skeleton because it wouldn't fit inside a manta
The skulls in wasteland look much more bird-like
maelstrom the skeletons in graveyard simply don't match the forest skeleton
the skull is different as is the ribs and spine
this elder manta?
Yeah that one!
they apparently do
K
Yeah they do there is a manta spirit in vault that you call
@lilac stone it used to be a quest in valley I believe, similar to older quests in prairie, following a bird
He flys above his bones
Graveyard skull and vault skull beneath the manta
https://discordapp.com/channels/575762611111592007/632004389137154048/646931533118308373
is it?
@hollow pier fish
Note how the skull is different and how the ribs have a spine that's through the center of the skeleton
but the graveyard skeletons have a spine that's in line with the ribs
And also vastly different skulls
there are! two quadwing mantas
The praire mantas have one or two sets of wings...?
yeah! and this one on the top right
It's also noteworthy that the praire elder mantas as big as they are don't grow that big, they're literally summoned into existence from the light in the clouds when we ring the three bell towers
So mantas probably don't grow, then again they might
What if all the elder mantas were killed off and the others went into hiding?
Maybe those are just the largest there are right now given past circumstances
@mossy bay irl some animals do change their bodies drastically in their life cycle, for example butterflies
IRL butterflies, not necessarily Sky butterflies
yeah
i mean I'd like to think that mantas did grow up to be elder mantas before but we don't see them anymore in Sky
We don't see any midway sized mantas
but we have bones in the graveyard
We just see the elder mantas that don't grow up, and small ones
like, the world in the current state is missing something, so they cannot transform anymore?
I'm more thinking like how the elders were always elders
we dont see this elder mantas tho. just big mantas
Mama tuna is definitely hiding out so who knows what else is lurking in the clouds
I think it'd be papa tuna not mama tuna since they're called the tuna king not tuna queen
I’m sorry for coming here right in the middle of a conversation
I’ve seen that some spirits like the ones in Prairie live peacefully but at the same time(?) the spirits from wasteland interact with the krill and they’re clearly scared of dark creatures
Maybe that means that the war came from Eden?
Who called them the tuna king?
The devs
We see on the Ark mural, after the boat crashes, more manta coming back.
Maybe in Sky as we see it, not enough time has passed to allow a great number of larger creatures yet. Or the number of large creatures are always lower.
She’ll always be mama tuna in my eyes 🤷🏽♂️😅
@mossy bay yeah one of the sound files in the game is called tunaking, which sounds like it.
I'm not complaining, I'm just throwing an idea about, mama tuna sounds cute as
Are we talking
or multiwing manta as mama tuna?


Ah, I'm OK with that too mama tunaking 😂
How many carcasses are in the gw graveyard? 3-4?
Oh wow this is the first time I’ve seen that haha
if that one was a quadwing or somewhere between a mono wing and a quadwing
elder manta should be really big
What if the Megabird isn't a bird, just a giant one of these made up of light?
I say a while back: "6 ribcages 4 skulls in graveyard (this one may be wrong)"
Lightweight?
megabird isn't a bird but she's not one of some creatures either
Thanks Hage, damn that a lot!
Well the spirit whale in vault is masssssive
I think the crabs weight has more to do gameplay than lore
I got a picture a while back with a table for reference of the spirit whale and the skeleton ribs for size and it's biiiiggg
Crabs are the only item in game that we can pick up and put down
We have nothing to compare it to
@mossy bay you can kinda pickup a butterfly too, or rather, one can land on your hand without flapping
Yeah that’s completely different
Every time I see a crab I think of Pines Riddle currently
falling speed is unrelated to their weight
In this image of mine I can see at least four skeletons here (possibly two right next to each other in center frame) a spine/rib that's behind those and there's one skeleton out of frame to the left, and another behind the scared stance cave so that's between six~eight skeletons
I need to go back to wasteland
because it looks like we've got some tuna king ribs in the center there
Making this at least 7 skeletons
So you think they belong to the tuna species or a an entirely different one?
I’ve seen that some spirits like the ones in Prairie live peacefully but at the same time(?) the spirits from wasteland interact with the krill and they’re clearly scared of dark creatures
Maybe that means that the war came from Eden?
@sturdy gate The war seemed to happen in wasteland (and maybe Eden), and Eden was probably the center of the destruction. I think those spirit memories mean they were living in a post-apocalyptic age
@mossy bay they have a completely different skull, so probably a different one
That's why I think graveyard bones = elder mantas theory is quite plausible
I always thought that the spirits lived before the war
me too but some of their memories are showing us that they were walking around broken buildings and such
like the battlefield spirit
I’ll go look at some krill and mantas now
Does anyone have a clear pic of a mother manta?
And one of a krill’s body?
This work?
who is mother manta?
The big cosmic manta in vault
The one that keeps getting stuck in the prairie constellation XD
Thank youuu
oooo i completely forgot they had baby elder mantas
sure i hope it helps
if those babies are babies then it can mean multiwing mantas are different species from quad or mono-wing mantas
did the new light happen today or is it tomorrow?
Why do crabs keep spinning around in a circle after they charge you? I’ve been spinning with crabs for the past 20 minutes thinking they were mimicking my movements

Tomorrow
here's another picture of the eden diamond if you guys need it
it's so weird
pure white
all other diamonds are tinted blue or red
oh I meant that as a like
"did you guys make theories about it" way
We’ve got even better photos of the eden diamond actually! Up close you can see how it’s broken
Yesterday I was in Edén and I got the feeling it was spinning or something 🤔
Well we don’t know which light is next so we can’t make theories yet, but if it’s the light I’m suspecting from beta we know what it does
The eden diamond isn’t spinning the broken pieces are wobbling
we at least know which light belongs to who
earth is the gardener
we actually saw shrug try to use the blue light before
in his cutscene
so that's water
Broken into at least four pieces
And it’s massssiiiivvve
Oh I counted the rinçages in graveyard again it’s 7-8 rib cages and they all have really spikey spinal nodes
The forest skeleton has a tbone like spine/ribs/spinal nodes vs these graveyard ones are like wishbones
wait diamonds as the butterflies?!
Diamonds= Ascension makes more sense
The reason we have the diamond light energy power is because the more we have the more we will ascend, because you have more stars to deposit and therefore you will get a lot of ascended candles
Idk thats not really a theory
The Eden diamond is also somewhat rounded toward an almond shape (a.k.a. “vesica piscis”) which has its own significance: the pupil of a cat’s or serpent’s eye, or a symbol of rebirth (the white gateway out of Orbit), or the “mandorla” halo in Christian iconography, or the “amygdala” center of emotion and memory in the brain....
Okay guys I just came into this channel 30 minute ago 1.30am and already entranced by the whole lore but in the same time confused and lost
If you were saying about the season of enchanment symbol diamond shape with a center dot, this is what i found
They may look like a symbol other cultures use or some other symbol in real life but don’t forget it might have its own meaning instead of the meaning it has in real life
And the spiral
Guys krills sniff
They do a lot of sniffing motion
I’ve been observing them in wasteland for a while
@sly kestrel how’s your work coming along?
I can’t understand why the spiral was the first element
I looks like it can be the last one
Not sure too.
Although it can also mean the beginning of our journey in the season
Was looking at the boat murals at the start of Forest and fwiw all boats there are carrying either 2 or 7 butterfly jars, though the Forest septets are trapezoidally stacked 3 on 4, as opposed to a line of 7
Hey, I was wondering about the Megabird on my weekly trip thru eden. What’s the lore on it again? (If you guys have a discussion, ping me, so I can jump back to the original discussion :))
the megabird is a deity that all species of light are connected to. skykids, elders, spirits.. they are all connected and given life under the megabird
Is there a story to the crying spirit?
Yuppp
Pretty sad tbh
But as the memory depicts it
There were ppl in a cave, the cry spirit was one of them and it’s not confirmed what they were doing in that cave, but there was an accident and rocks collapsed on some of them, killing them. There was a desperate attempt to get them out but it was useless, they died there, and the cry spirit eventually made gravestones for them. As time passed, more of her friends died, reasons that are unknown and only theorized but at the end of her memory, she sits down remembering her passed friends, and cries

@zealous summit the only current references to the megabird in game are in post orbit where you get your ascended candles and wing buffs and in the credits of the game
also. oh my god i assumed thats what happened to the cry spirit but jeez
The thing about mb theories is that the concept of it was changed soooo much overtime. Pins gave us an idea but idk what to believe in anymore. If the megabird is in the game, I would be beyond confused tbh
There’s a decent chance the megabird is already in the game, that it’s the big ball of mantas at the end of the ascent
wouldn’t that be more... megamanta?
The megabird is that thing you see in the sky when you are in the rebirth area and at the end of the credits
I missed the bird in the rebirth area? Can anyone show me?
@pearl void I recently posted a recording of it in the sky of orbit. https://discordapp.com/channels/575762611111592007/632004389137154048/703686192364781588

@dull coral ohh it is basically the same with the orbit credit, thanks!
The megabird confuses me bc even though I know it’s not a Literal bird I have no idea what that shape is supposed to be
I believe it is a pointy hat ultra wizard elder
At the pin It did mentioned that the megabird can be seen at orbit credit and entrance of office and it's canon
Pointy hat?
@humble barn quad wing!
Where is that?
It’s the season of rhythm final cutscene
Ohhh
@sly kestrel
Looks closer to my description if you look at the updated image above orbit before you pass into credits
@hollow pier Oh she had 4 wings! I forgot I've been wondering if that bird was an animal or a machine
I don’t think there are any mechanical creatures in sky
The only mechanical things I can think of are like. Doors
Anyone know who is that guy?
Ooh
@dull coral this is what I see https://discordapp.com/channels/575762611111592007/632004389137154048/655012352759955456
@wind bone i mean like boats
Oh I see
something moves on their own but not really alive
@pearl void that’s a statue there similar ones in the ascent
Oh i missed that
Ahh ok that one is much clearer, the pictures after that, in the eden
I seriously thought the diamond power stone is a diamond shape opening that we need to go through
The one shoooting the red stone, i thought it is an opening diamond shape like a gate
yeah me too, I think it looked too flat? The only reason i thought it was an octahedron was because it resembled the huge laputa Ethereum crystal
but it did look like a gate to me too
I think the fog causes the crystal to look more 2d than it actually is
yeah me too, I think it looked too flat? The only reason i thought it was an octahedron was because it resembled the huge laputa Ethereum crystal
@humble barn ohh some reference there
When you get closer to it you can see how it’s really broken
It could be intentional. If it looks like a gate players would go towards it, and that's what we should do there
It’s like how in journey|| when you’re going up the mountain in the snow the mountain fades away ||
Similar intentions?
I thought it was a portal for ages too
If it did then that's a success, i did remember run to the opening at first time
Close up of the dark stone diamond in Eden: https://discordapp.com/channels/575762611111592007/632004389137154048/703977843075579966
i wonder what the red light symbolizes
@pearl void actually we can just stay there and wait till we die. But that would be really confusing for new people, and doesn't convey any narrative. So skykids are probably supposed to keep on moving towards the portal-looking diamond and die before reaching the diamond
Darkness??
Light, possible, because it looks like a power diamond
the others are just the four elements
@humble barn make sense, and nobody is going to stand still doing nothing
Darkness??
Light, possible, because it looks like a power diamond
@waxen spindle heres my guess https://discordapp.com/channels/575762611111592007/632004389137154048/704024963186819072
Scroll down a bit for the spiral
I took a look at the spirit mantas in vault and they only have one set of wings despite their size
could be Memory
@humble barn i think this is correct for the spiral, the first light that the leader spirit wants is the red light spiral symbol, when the spirit releases it, it reveals all the murals on the ark
spirit mantas look smoother
@pearl void yeah bc my thought was based on what the red light did. But I also think "journey inward" sounds like recollection
tho it doesn't seem to explain the relationship between
and darkness
Maybe red light is death 💀 energy? Red colours are supposed to represent death afterall
It would explain why
is found where darkness prevails
The season is called enchantment, it may have relation to magic, like earth water wind etc so the spiral in relation to memory maybe we call it Time, as in time magic
And it uncovers the murals because the murals had faded (died)? Or because it has time altering properties? Or simply because death magic is powerful
Time altering properties, that's it!
Memory light never made much sense to me, how would that be a thing and why would it be where darkness prevails
Time should be more relevant then @hollow pier
But death energy, or the residual energy from death I like this; this works
really plausible but
seems too cute for a symbol of death
I am fond of the idea about journey inward, recollection of memory, eventually time
Spiral refers to the process inward, maybe it's related to process of death? the process here can be connected to mostly anything
yeah the spiral could be a reference to the passage of time (and thus towards death)
So maybe it's less /death/ energy more time energy released by death
I really like that the new season begins with a koru so this is the interpretation I’m going with
every culture has its own meaning for the spiral so it’s fun to try and fit them to sky’s 
: Naruto
Alternatively the
could be the strongest life energy
