"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

amber glen
#

Well he would have been the boss

cold steppe
#

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

amber glen
#

Oh god

#

Maybe luring the krill away if they were spotted

cold steppe
#

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

carmine saffron
#

I’m hoping for krill stories

cold steppe
#

ooh yes

amber glen
#

It's weird to see a bright krill

cold steppe
#

reminds me of Belonging, but it's better

inland narwhal
#

The story concepts are so good.

cold steppe
#

it's kind of nice to take a week to speculate

#

it's a good balance

amber glen
#

wait wait wait, these things light up as we get the coloured lights?

cold steppe
#

yeah

#

the yellow markings appeared after the red light was returned

inland narwhal
#

@amber glen yup

cold steppe
#

it was blank before

amber glen
#

That's a really cool thing to add to seasons

carmine saffron
#

It tells a story

#

Krill seems to come with a storm

inland narwhal
#

Wonder if the ark will stay after season ends.

amber glen
#

@inland narwhal I saw someone saying it will but I'm not certain

#

It wasn't someone from staff

cold steppe
#

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

granite plaza
#

Most likely is going to stay then

amber glen
#

But the spirits would go, I hope they would fill the area up a bit

inland narwhal
#

So for next season I hope they add new area at vault as well.

carmine saffron
#

Would be cool

cold steppe
#

would be nice

inland narwhal
#

Also for isle in next next season.

cold steppe
#

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

inland narwhal
#

I thought for belonging they added the sunny forest

cold steppe
#

oh, and Valley

granite plaza
#

Puneswood?

#

*pineswood

cold steppe
#

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

granite plaza
#

Oh

cold steppe
#

don't think there's an official name for the cavern

inland narwhal
#

I saw someone claim it underground cavern

cold steppe
#

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

inland narwhal
#

I miss the old pairie

cold steppe
#

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

inland narwhal
#

For tutorial level they should add more candles to isle. And tells player how candle is forge.

#

😂

cold steppe
#

was kind of hoping the one prairie oob that I can no longer access would be made into a real part

#

@inland narwhal agreed

granite plaza
#

What's the prairie oob?

cold steppe
#

though it kind of makes more sense to introduce that in Prairie

inland narwhal
#

It would be win win for both new players and old.

cold steppe
#

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

inland narwhal
#

Aren’t the floating islands bird nest and the pairie itself

granite plaza
#

oh, i think ive tried to get up there but it just teleport me out

cold steppe
#

yeah

inland narwhal
#

It teleports back to pairie start right?@granite plaza

cold steppe
#

I found a somewhat bad picture of it

#

wish I had more

inland narwhal
#

So that area is not accessible anymore?

cold steppe
#

you can see the floating ramp on the right

granite plaza
#

it would teleport me to the constellation gate

cold steppe
#

no, it teleports you away

granite plaza
#

ohh no i dont think ive been up there

inland narwhal
#

That looks like village

cold steppe
inland narwhal
#

Those are pairie start, not social center

cold steppe
#

yeah, I think you're right.

#

You can't access that oob anymore though

inland narwhal
#

It’s been so long I have oob

cold steppe
#

oob is sometimes nice for new perspectives on areas and possibly lore

#

these pictures were taken before the update to Prairie

inland narwhal
#

Let me see if I can access it

#

Lol I see it

cold steppe
#

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

inland narwhal
cold steppe
#

oh cool, it's still there!!

inland narwhal
#

Yup.

cold steppe
#

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

inland narwhal
#

@cold steppe been trying to click this one but it teleports needs out

cold steppe
#

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

inland narwhal
#

I found it

mossy bay
#

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

hushed steeple
#

I mean I would If I were a crab

sly kestrel
#

I got an idea
Toss a crab next to a krill spotlight

desert sun
#

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

night sleet
#

@hushed steeple agreed

#

If I could as a skykid then ai would

#

But I can’t

sturdy gate
#

Crabs do a weird thing with their eyes when they’re scared

sly kestrel
#

😮

coarse plinth
#

Omg

#

Lol

hexed ledge
#

mommas mad

sly kestrel
#

I’m over here thinking crabs are friends with krill

hexed ledge
#

oh I thought the crabs were like baby krill

sly kestrel
#

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

sonic urchin
#

Oh that would be cool. I wonder if there is a way to make it happen

sly kestrel
hollow pier
#

@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

limber canyon
#

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?

sturdy gate
#

I just realized that spirits lived after the ruin things happened

#

There’s the sneak spirit in wasteland and it interacts with a krill

limber canyon
#

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)

north brook
#

😂😂😂

sly kestrel
#

Crab looks bigger than you

sick trellis
#

That's Chibi 😅

north brook
#

Yup 😅 I use chibi because it's so funny

night sleet
#

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

desert sun
cold steppe
#

or the crab is closer because I don't want to think about giant crabs

wind bone
#

We have giant crabs in the archive and valley temple

sly kestrel
#

The big ones u can’t carry

hushed steeple
#

We do?

#

Woaw

#

That's scary

cold steppe
night sleet
#

We do? Oh no

#

I wonder if there were giant krill then. Not that the ones we have now aren’t big...

sly kestrel
#

Idk about size but Eden krills are a bit more powerful than normal ones

zealous summit
#

Yep, the KAE (Krill Absorption Effect) replaces the KDE (Krill Deflection Effect)

celest spoke
#

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?

sly kestrel
#

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

celest spoke
#

Oh, and upthread the bigger mural crab has MORE LEGS (but the krabob jumbos don’t)

delicate belfry
#

cursed thought: what if they’re a pair of swol arms

supple jewel
#

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

sly kestrel
#

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

delicate belfry
#

oh I managed to ask a dev about the water once in general chat, lemme fish it out

celest spoke
spice kernel
#

TO SHOOT KRILLZ1

exotic shuttle
#

maybe it's for decoration

supple jewel
#

Ohhh thank you for showing me that @delicate belfry makes a lot of sense

delicate belfry
#

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

spice kernel
#

that'd be one extra thing for Skykids to dodge!

delicate belfry
#

josefin: I joke that the toilet flooding in the office is so out of control it flooded all the maps SkyLOL

celest spoke
#

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”)

exotic shuttle
#

maybe it backfired

spice kernel
#

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!? pEyes 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

delicate belfry
#

oh that’s an old meditation spot left over from beta.

spice kernel
#

and look very carefully to see the dot

#

aww

delicate belfry
#

buuut I like your theory tho stickerHeart

spice kernel
#

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

peak ore
#

but... how it got there? coz that's a little far away, I would like to see how it look like

spice kernel
#

but before even thinking of sharing it

#

i need to ask this:

celest spoke
#

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

spice kernel
#

is the world of Sky the same as Earth/ Do some Earth stuff apply?

#

specifically the height of different atmosphere layers

peak ore
#

@spice kernel idk my town looks like gw tbh

spice kernel
#

kek

delicate belfry
#

lol like mjolnir? so heavy it broke the roof SkyLOL 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.

celest spoke
#

Can Forest Aunt spike her hair into weapons like Hela

exotic shuttle
zealous summit
#

Ooh, like one of the orbs

zealous summit
#

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?

granite plaza
#

nope

zealous summit
#

Maybe a flower?

#

It kind of looks like it has antlers

#

Does it remind anyone else of Deer mask?

hushed steeple
#

Oh, yeah, it does look like that

#

Kind of looks like a butterfly at an angle

zealous summit
#

Like the butterfly clouds in wasteland?

hushed steeple
#

A little bit

#

But it looks more like the Deer mask

granite plaza
#

a very vague shape of one

hushed steeple
#

Yeah

#

But even then, what would it’s significance be? The deer mask is from Gratitude, right?

granite plaza
#

yeah im pretty sure

#

not sure what it would have to do with lightseekers

rose yacht
#

I posted something in screenshots that might relate to lore not sure

hushed steeple
#

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 ^^

rose yacht
#

To help you with your orb situation I’ve exposed the centre a bit ^-^

delicate belfry
#

It looks like a stickman with a dumpling for a head diving down lol

rose yacht
#

😂

#

Maybe it’s just an artist error

#

@zealous summit

sand abyss
#

or looks like a white crab with two legs doing a split XD

delicate belfry
#

Lightseekers were creb seekers all along pFIRE

last otter
#

maybe not an artist error but just something to fill in that space so its not just a solid circle in the center

reef dragon
#

Does anyone have the blue cape?

#

Like the secret one you need a friend to get

open bridge
#

You mean the beta cape?

#

You have to buy it with money

granite plaza
#

you cant buy the beta cape, its the founders cape

sly kestrel
#

U can buy it if ur in the office

reef dragon
#

Ah thanks I did know where I should’ve asked

zealous summit
#

Oh, cool! What did you use to clarify the center?

#

@rose yacht

spice kernel
#

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..?

rose yacht
#

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

zealous summit
#

ok thanks

hollow pier
#

@Ybb#3341 the devs have also said they hope that Sky is the first in a series

zealous summit
#

A series? Like, more apps?

hollow pier
#

Or games for other platforms

zealous summit
#

Oh, ok. They're releasing to Switch in the summer

hollow pier
#

this mural implies the existence of bigger crabs
@desert sun where in the caves is this mural? I’ve never seen it before

desert sun
#

its in forgotten ark

#

u gotta walk around a bit lol

hollow pier
#

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

sly kestrel
#

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

mossy bay
#

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

sturdy gate
#

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

spice kernel
#

ouch

hollow pier
#

@mossy bay the shipwreck not the ark

#

There’s two physical horn thingies actually embedded in the shipwreck where the boat splits

mossy bay
#

Oop sorry I’m too tired to read up 😦

#

For real? I need to go take a look

hollow pier
#

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

mossy bay
#

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?

hollow pier
#

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

mossy bay
#

Thanks for the link Hage! Appreciate it . I wish there was more lore on the krills stickerEmbarrassed

hollow pier
#

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 SkyLOL

mossy bay
#

I need to go and take a look for myself though in one the the pictures the spikes look diagonal

warm fern
#

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

hollow pier
#

those horns are flat and zigzag, definitely not round

#

I'd like to take this moment for everyone to appreciate the megaderp

sly kestrel
#

🐦

lilac stone
warm fern
#

every time I see that thing I freak out for a moment

#

are those branches or roots

#

forest trees seem to only have roots

sly kestrel
#

Issa tree trunk WITH roots

#

It jus fell

warm fern
#

it’s upside down is what it is

#

someone long honked it

prime pasture
hollow pier
#

I had a thought, if LightRed is found where darkness prevails maybe it's strong life or hidden life energy

lilac stone
#

Spirals

#

Can represent:

#

PortAls

#

Hypnotisation

#

And uh

#

Journies

#

Gateways

#

Water? No there's a symbol

#

Maybe look at the spirits clothing?

warm fern
#

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

mossy bay
#

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

sturdy gate
#

Here’s a video of a crab being scared by a krill and attacking me

#

Just in case you guys need it

mossy bay
sturdy gate
#

Hmm

mossy bay
#

Thanks @sturdy gate

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

mossy bay
#

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

sturdy gate
#

Hmm

#

I’m wondering what those little heart things are

#

Maybe butterflies?

#

There are more on the other side of the ark

mossy bay
#

Yeah either butterflies or birds

sturdy gate
#

Hold on a sec

#

I just realized something

#

It’s an ark

#

They were trying to save something from the war

mossy bay
#

Like save it from getting in the wrong hands?

hushed steeple
#

I think I'm missing a huge bunch of lore discussion

lilac stone
#

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

hollow pier
#

@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

exotic shuttle
#

maybe the dark-water leaked out of those jars they had onboard

lilac stone
#

@hollow pier maybe when they were departing the krill attacked

hushed steeple
#

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)

lilac stone
#

Maybe it accidentally came there?

grim nebula
#

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?

lilac stone
#

Like lost track of its surroundings

#

I guess

#

@grim nebula pic of the tooth?

grim nebula
#

Of course, hang on a sec

lilac stone
grim nebula
lilac stone
#

Krills have skeletons right?

grim nebula
#

I’m not sure actually (could have exoskeletons?)

lilac stone
#

Maybe at that time the krill could have been a juvenile

#

A juvenile krill

grim nebula
#

Good thought! That could be

lilac stone
#

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?

grim nebula
#

I assumed it was made of stone like most of the other boats we see but I’m not sure

#

Could definitely be wood

obsidian zodiac
#

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??

lilac stone
#

Stone is vulnerable

#

To krill

#

Of course

#

It could be some other material

#

What makes boats float?

grim nebula
#

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

lilac stone
#

Yeah some snakes also work like that

#

The krill's tooth got stuck to whatever place

#

To escape, it disconnected its tooth

hushed steeple
#

What reset of eden mean?

mossy bay
#

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?

hushed steeple
#

Is there a collection of Canon lore anywhere?

cold steppe
#

yes, there's some in the pins

hollow stream
hollow pier
#

@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

cold steppe
#

@hollow stream that's the area from the Isle Lightseekers spirit

hollow pier
#

Not much of an explanation Wren SkyLOL but we don’t really know much do we other than that some spirits prayed to it

pallid citrus
#

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

vestal hawk
#

Please don't cold mention other users.

pallid citrus
#

@vestal hawk I’m not, this is in relation to their conversation about the orbs from the isle of dawn.

hollow pier
#

There’s a spirit the angry spirit that carries an orb

#

Perhaps the that’s what you were seeing when you were a moth?

pallid citrus
#

No, I saw a player carrying one. I’m not talking about the spirit in the forest level that carries one in its memory.

hollow pier
#

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?

humble barn
#

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?

pallid citrus
#

When I say carrying, I mean it was strapped to their back like an equipped instrument/item. Not the juggling emote.

flat charm

Are sky children naturally born? Or made by elders?

hollow pier
#

@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

flat charm
#

Any concept art of the megabird?

humble barn
#

there are many. check the pinned postsstickerShiny

#

this is how drum looks from the side @pallid citrus

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 pWow

#

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 pWow
@flat charm over-cultivation of power diamonds. One day, they went boom boom UmU

flat charm
#

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

lilac stone
#

If they don't why does it have light?

#

They're releasing light or something?

granite plaza
#

looks like spells to me

lilac stone
#

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

wind bone
#

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

lilac stone
#

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

#

HR_SkeleDance wAKe mE uP iNSiDe

hollow pier
#

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

dull coral
#

Looks like it used to be a colored light

sonic urchin
#

Yeah, it’s what used to be the red light from the quest

dull coral
#

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

heady sinew
#

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

I don’t know if it’s useful

But

#

The ark from underground

night sleet
#

Isn’t that how to find the shrooms

soft dove
#

Yeah it is

desert sun
#

oo we r probably going to have the entire ark revealed

#

and maybe the rest of the murals too

#

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.

Nice editting, i like it!

inland narwhal
#

Thanks 🙏

mossy bay
#

These are really nice theories!

#

Wanna see mine?

inland narwhal
#

Sure

sly kestrel
#

That’s actually rlly gooood

#

And ur editing skills are nice too

inland narwhal
#

Thank you so much.

mossy bay
inland narwhal
#

@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.

mossy bay
#

Thank you, I like your theory about the spirits being in despair and seeking a power source

inland narwhal
mossy bay
#

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

inland narwhal
#

Another theory: those elemental orbs somehow mutated the whale fish and turned it to krill.

mossy bay
#

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 🤷🏽‍♂️

inland narwhal
#

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.

sly kestrel
#

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

inland narwhal
#

The enchantment spirits could be the ancestors who survived the storm. They ate mushrooms and copied crabs for fun. Trying to purify water.

sly kestrel
#

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)

inland narwhal
#

That’s what I said. But you said better.

sonic urchin
#

And play fight spirit. She was trying to grow mushrooms too

inland narwhal
#

I like how you take time.

#

@sonic urchin yup

sly kestrel
#

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”

THAT WAS FOR A POTION VBFJHFHBF

#

Well, I think that’s everything
All of my other ark details on my theory are basically the same as urs in ur edit.

inland narwhal
#

My story sounds depressing.

sly kestrel
#

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

inland narwhal
#

While kids with no enough information are called to do bidding. And dying to give lights back.

sly kestrel
#

To make things worse
They grinded up innocent butterflies in factories so they can make their power diamonds 😭

#

pButterfly —> 💎

inland narwhal
#

No. As you can see in pairie cutscene those are lights.

sly kestrel
#

Oh

#

U haven’t seen my theory huh

inland narwhal
#

The pairie elder shapes lights to buttery

sly kestrel
#

Buttery

inland narwhal
#

Butterfly

#

💤

sly kestrel
#

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

inland narwhal
#

Noice

sly kestrel
#

73rd time sending it

inland narwhal
#

Mines still compressing.

#

Finally.

sly kestrel
#

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”

hushed steeple
#

I wonder what kind of raw material they were using?

#

and the source of them

jovial nacelle
#

If we were to exit Eden

#

I mean, when it’s possible to exit the gate

It doesn’t have much. Just basic stuffs.

#

And quite easy to use.

sly kestrel
#

I have 100000 theories
Which one should I make an edit on?pThink

inland narwhal
#

Rise and fall of Sky

#

Maybe in chapters

#

Chapter 1: Rise of Sky

#

Chapter 2: Sky at glory

#

Chapter 3: Fall of Sky

sly kestrel
#

Rise of sky, Isle, Praire, Forest
Sky at Glory, Valley
Fall of sky, Wasteland and eden
Vault.....ehhh idk where to put vault

inland narwhal
#

Vault would be advance.

#

Sky at glory

sly kestrel
#

Vault lasted a while, during the rise fall and end

inland narwhal
#

Wasteland wasn’t always a wasteland.

sly kestrel
#

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

inland narwhal
#

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.

sly kestrel
#

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

inland narwhal
#

Poor crabs have witness many attacks to be scared.

sly kestrel
#

Although, krills never attack other krills 🤔

inland narwhal
#

Krills got bro code

sly kestrel
#

And then again
Their spotlight never goes on another krill

#

U think if they do see each other there will be

KRILL FIGHT

inland narwhal
#

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.

sly kestrel
#

Idk about smart
I see savage, brutal, ruthless, and aggressive dark creatures

desert sun
#

its theorized that they wrecked wasteland right

#

also what are we talking about

sly kestrel
#

By Hage I believe

#

Idk if that’s his actual name but

#

He theorized that, why?

desert sun
#

bc that would label them as savage rather than smart

sly kestrel
#

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

desert sun
#

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

inland narwhal
#

They are smart but blind.

#

Cause they got only one eye.

#

Imagine if they had two eyes.

heady sinew
#

They remind me of these birds we have over here. They are aggresive to anything that gets close to their nest lmao

inland narwhal
#

Oh. You think they are protecting something.

#

Noice.

heady sinew
#

Maybe, it could be

inland narwhal
#

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.

hushed steeple
#

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.

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.

@pearl void happy there is a clue and hopefully I will be able to see it soon too

dull coral
#

@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.

cunning pelican
#

@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

dull coral
#

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

#

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

#

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

humble barn
#

wasn't that creature depicted in the vault cutscene mural?

cobalt palm
#

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

humble barn
#

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

@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

mossy bay
#

😂🤣😭

hollow pier
#

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

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

cobalt palm
#

@hollow pier no, we see whale bones in forest, and they are much smaller

hollow pier
#

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

cobalt palm
#

The skulls in wasteland look much more bird-like

#

maelstrom the skeletons in graveyard simply don't match the forest skeleton

@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

#

The graveyard skull looks like a turtle skull

But turtles don’t have ribs

#

The praire mantas have one or two sets of wings...?

humble barn
hollow pier
#

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

mossy bay
#

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

humble barn
#

@mossy bay irl some animals do change their bodies drastically in their life cycle, for example butterflies

hollow pier
#

IRL butterflies, not necessarily Sky butterflies

humble barn
#

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

hollow pier
#

We don't see any midway sized mantas

humble barn
#

but we have bones in the graveyard

hollow pier
#

We just see the elder mantas that don't grow up, and small ones

#

Butterflies are in that concept art

#

But that could just be for scale

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

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?

mossy bay
#

Who called them the tuna king?

hollow pier
#

The devs

cobalt palm
#

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 pWhale or multiwing manta as mama tuna?

I say a while back: "6 ribcages 4 skulls in graveyard (this one may be wrong)"

#

Lightweight?

humble barn
#

megabird isn't a bird but she's not one of some creatures either

mossy bay
#

Thanks Hage, damn that a lot!

hollow pier
#

Well the spirit whale in vault is masssssive

cobalt palm
#

Not sure what you mean there @hushed steeple

#

Oh, I see

mossy bay
#

I think the crabs weight has more to do gameplay than lore

hollow pier
#

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

mossy bay
#

Crabs are the only item in game that we can pick up and put down

#

We have nothing to compare it to

cobalt palm
#

@mossy bay you can kinda pickup a butterfly too, or rather, one can land on your hand without flapping

mossy bay
#

Yeah that’s completely different

cobalt palm
#

Every time I see a crab I think of Pines Riddle currently

humble barn
#

falling speed is unrelated to their weight

hollow pier
#

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

mossy bay
#

So you think they belong to the tuna species or a an entirely different one?

humble barn
#

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

sturdy gate
#

I always thought that the spirits lived before the war

humble barn
#

me too but some of their memories are showing us that they were walking around broken buildings and such

#

like the battlefield spirit

sturdy gate
#

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?

granite plaza
sturdy gate
#

Thank you!

#

Now I only need mantas...

humble barn
#

who is mother manta?

sturdy gate
#

The big cosmic manta in vault

#

The one that keeps getting stuck in the prairie constellation XD

sturdy gate
#

Thank youuu

humble barn
#

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

mellow sable
#

did the new light happen today or is it tomorrow?

mossy bay
#

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 movementspFacepalm pCry

#

Tomorrow

mellow sable
#

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

hollow pier
#

We’ve got even better photos of the eden diamond actually! Up close you can see how it’s broken

mellow sable
#

oh really?

#

I thought I went as close as you could

#

huh

limber canyon
#

Yesterday I was in Edén and I got the feeling it was spinning or something 🤔

hollow pier
#

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

limber canyon
#

Oooooh

#

Cool

mellow sable
#

earth is the gardener

#

we actually saw shrug try to use the blue light before

#

in his cutscene

#

so that's water

hollow pier
#

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

#

What’s with diamond purple light?

sick trellis
#

wait diamonds as the butterflies?!

hushed steeple
#

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

celest spoke
#

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

#

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

Guys krills sniff

#

They do a lot of sniffing motion

#

I’ve been observing them in wasteland for a while

inland narwhal
#

@sly kestrel how’s your work coming along?

sturdy gate
#

I can’t understand why the spiral was the first element

#

I looks like it can be the last one

inland narwhal
#

Not sure too.

sturdy gate
#

Although it can also mean the beginning of our journey in the season

inland narwhal
#

Maybe because wasteland is already covered in dark.

#

So first darkness.

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 :))

desert sun
#

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

zealous summit
#

Ok

#

What references are there to it in game?

dense kindle
#

Is there a story to the crying spirit?

sly kestrel
#

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

night sleet
#

Wow...

desert sun
#

@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

sly kestrel
#

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

desert sun
#

xactlyy

#

idk how they'd introduce it if they even mean to

hollow pier
#

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

celest spoke
#

wouldn’t that be more... megamanta?

wind bone
#

The megabird is that thing you see in the sky when you are in the rebirth area and at the end of the credits

pearl void
#

I missed the bird in the rebirth area? Can anyone show me?

wind bone
#

It’s in the sky

#

More like

#

It is the sky lol

#

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

Pointy hat?

hollow pier

#

Where is that?

It’s the season of rhythm final cutscene

#

Ohhh

#

Looks closer to my description if you look at the updated image above orbit before you pass into credits

humble barn
#

@hollow pier Oh she had 4 wings! I forgot I've been wondering if that bird was an animal or a machine

wind bone
#

I don’t think there are any mechanical creatures in sky

#

The only mechanical things I can think of are like. Doors

Ooh

hollow pier

#

You guys are big brain I see

#

Weird circle thing

humble barn
#

@wind bone i mean like boats

wind bone
#

Oh I see

humble barn
#

something moves on their own but not really alive

hollow pier
#

@pearl void that’s a statue there similar ones in the ascent

pearl void
#

Oh i missed that

pearl void
#

Ahh ok that one is much clearer, the pictures after that, in the eden

pearl void
#

I seriously thought the diamond power stone is a diamond shape opening that we need to go through

humble barn
#

it is

#

oh you mean the red one

pearl void
#

The one shoooting the red stone, i thought it is an opening diamond shape like a gate

humble barn
#

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

wind bone
#

I think the fog causes the crystal to look more 2d than it actually is

pearl void
#

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

wind bone
#

When you get closer to it you can see how it’s really broken

humble barn
#

It could be intentional. If it looks like a gate players would go towards it, and that's what we should do there

wind bone
#

It’s like how in journey|| when you’re going up the mountain in the snow the mountain fades away ||

#

Similar intentions?

hollow pier
#

I thought it was a portal for ages too

pearl void
#

If it did then that's a success, i did remember run to the opening at first time

hollow pier
waxen spindle
#

i wonder what the red light symbolizes

humble barn
#

@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

waxen spindle
#

LightRed Darkness??
LightPurple Light, possible, because it looks like a power diamond

#

the others are just the four elements

pearl void
#

@humble barn make sense, and nobody is going to stand still doing nothing

humble barn
#

could be Memory

#

btw ⟐ being the sign for "kawaii, cute" is a wrong information

pearl void
#

Haha ya thought so

#

But i like to refer something

hollow pier
#

I took a look at the spirit mantas in vault and they only have one set of wings despite their size

pearl void
#

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

humble barn
#

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 LightRed and darkness

hollow pier
#

Maybe red light is death 💀 energy? Red colours are supposed to represent death afterall

#

It would explain why LightRed is found where darkness prevails

pearl void
#

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

hollow pier
#

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

pearl void
#

Time altering properties, that's it!

hollow pier
#

Memory light never made much sense to me, how would that be a thing and why would it be where darkness prevails

pearl void
#

Time should be more relevant then @hollow pier

hollow pier
#

But death energy, or the residual energy from death I like this; this works

humble barn
#

really plausible but LightRed seems too cute for a symbol of death

pearl void
#

I am fond of the idea about journey inward, recollection of memory, eventually time

hushed steeple
#

Spiral refers to the process inward, maybe it's related to process of death? the process here can be connected to mostly anything

hollow pier
#

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

warm fern
#

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 LightRed

humble barn
#

LightRed : Naruto

hollow pier
#

Alternatively the LightRed could be the strongest life energy

warm fern
#

LightCyan bacon

hollow pier
#

light that only gets stronk from being tested by darkness

#

Like how trees grown in arboretums without wind fall over because they didn't have the adversity of the wind to make them strong
