#

my headcanon for the archives is that someone broke in and stole things, because the holes in the walls and floor are too man made looking to be just decay for me

#

I think we just did a something guys
@drowsy spoke what is this something?

drowsy spoke
#

Haha yeah right after that I just said that I'm not sure what the something is XD

#

No because above above, like 50+ messages above, there were long posts about theories like hurricanes and diamonds I was reading

#

And then I jumped down to say that we did a something because I feel like we have just found something important, though I'm not sure how the something works

#

It's like a feeling, you would say

desert sun
#

ahhh i see i see i mustve missed the talk

#

i hate missing important stuff

drowsy spoke
#

Haha it's fine

sly kestrel
#

It was actually discussed in a livestream

drowsy spoke
#

Oh it was?

#

Oopsies

sly kestrel
#

That door led to the archives, a place at vault that held forbidden secret knowledge

drowsy spoke
#

I don't really watch sky livestreams and I don't know how so Xd

sly kestrel
#

And the belonging spirit was able to break in

#

Due to decay and years of ruin, he got in

#

That’s what I was told

#

He snooped in there

drowsy spoke
#

Also Jay can I ask if you're a professional liar or not?

#

I'm sorry I've wanted to ask that for so long XD

sly kestrel
#

Yes I’m a proFeSSiOnal LiAr

#

I don’t use my lying skills for this chat tho

drowsy spoke
#

Ooh okay good

#

Because you know a lot of good information and I wouldn't want that to all be lies

sly kestrel
#

After all, the point is to make ppl believe ur theories
Not lie ur way through everything 😂

drowsy spoke
#

Haha oh good

torn silo
#

Why butterflies and birds are the only not marine based animals in sky universe?

undone steppe
#

So like

#

I'm just new here. But who carved the closets at social places

#

Like we've established that we're different from (long dead) humans?

#

We woke up on the isle of dawn, but it seems the boatman elder was kind of expecting us...

#

It has a light catcher so do you think we're some byproduct?

desert sun
#

Why butterflies and birds are the only not marine based animals in sky universe?
@torn silo i dont know! thats actually something ive considered for a bit. at first i assumed that flight based animals were light creatures and marine creatures were dark, but that was just me forgetting that mantas were actually marine animals. ever since then i havent thought about it

#

I'm just new here. But who carved the closets at social places
@undone steppe some people speculate that there was actually a different version of skykids that came before us. like a first generation of skykids, sent with the same mission as we do

#

that theory covers the invention of social spaces and also covers what exactly the statues in eden are

#

but all we have are theoriess

humble barn
#

Imo Sky mantas look more like birds or aircrafts than real manta rays

desert sun
#

i can see the aircraft thing but not the bird thing

#

it looks def more like a manta to me

#

.. its been a bit since i saw a manta actually lemme look it up 😂

humble barn
#

like a hawk gliding

desert sun
#

its the tail that makes it look more manta like

#

imo it looks more like a stingray than a manta

humble barn
#

to me the tail is making Sky mantas look less like sea rays

#

it's broad and thick

#

and the wings too, they are long and slim and do look like wings

#

The one marine-animal-ish feature of Sky mantas is that they do not have legs

desert sun
#

hmmm im looking more at the aesthetic

#

i think its probably meant to be taken the same way as pWhale this is not a whale

humble barn
#

don't think the names are definite

desert sun
#

?

humble barn
#

sorry ig I didn't get wat you meant

desert sun
#

its okay i didnt either SkyLOL i need to word things better

humble barn
#

We shouldn't guess the sky mantas are marine animals only because they are called "mantas"

#

So I have not been talking about the names, I was just saying Sky mantas does not really look like marine animals to me

desert sun
#

ahh i see i see

humble barn
#

They look a bit like manta rays so I am not complaining about the nomenclature either

desert sun
#

i think the conversation was more "sky creatures are based on marine animals"

humble barn
#

yeah, and imo sky mantas were probably not based only on a marine animal

desert sun
#

so youre saying theyre more designed around birds or something ?

humble barn
#

probably, but it's just my opinion tho

desert sun
#

yeaa i can see that

#

especially considering manta rays probably dont flap their wings like a bird to fly

#

unless they do, in which case skyShrug skyShrug skyShrug

humble barn
#

interestingly they do flap their wings in Prairie and vault but the mantas in the forest and beyond do not flap much

desert sun
#

i meant irl mantas

#

forest mantas do flap slower though, shrug

humble barn
#

irl mantas flap their fins

#

I think the forest and valley mantas are same and they flap their wings only a bit

#

prairie mantas look way different from other ones in terms of how they move, and I was wondering if they were different species

desert sun
#

maybe because they are some kind of.. evolved form?

#

different species may be a bit too far, they look far too similar

drifting copper
#

maybe because forest and valley are kinda centered around civilisation and stuff

#

prairie’s pretty natural while forest and valley are really industrial

#

forest mantas might’ve been born in captivity so i can see why they’d be a bit awkward

humble barn
#

the wings of forest and valley mantas look kinda hard and remind me of Maple seeds lol

#

interestingly if we look closely the shape of manta wings are also different: prairie vs forest/valley

#

i think Hage Jiisama has pointed out that difference before

desert sun
#

i noticed there looks to be an extra set of wings trying to grow from the back in prarie

drifting copper
#

i never really saw the difference so that’s pretty good to know and i’ll feel more mad at teth

desert sun
#

exactly, you wouldnt really think to compare them

#

unless youre mochi

#

bless you mochi

drifting copper
#

bless

#

but the difference is so obvious why didn’t i notice sjdhdj

humble barn
#

also the prairie manta has more slits? on their wings

desert sun
#

righttt now that i think about the wing movements and size it just

#

ye ye thats what i meant! the weird slits are probably an extra set of wings growing in

#

explains the big manta in vault

mossy bay
#

Good morning everyone, Mochi When you say prairie manta are you also referring to the ones in the birds nest or just the ones at the bell towers?

humble barn
#

but yes they do have tiny extra wings

desert sun
#

oh. haha yea i knew that pEyes

#

the differences become very obvious once pointed out tbh

humble barn
#

Hi, it's both @mossy bay

#

tho the big mantas in bell towers do not flap their wings much

#

the big ones have prairie-type body

tough iron
#

I always wonder how the single manta in golden 2nd part of map got there.

#

Where you encounter the first krill.

humble barn
#

probably there used to be many mantas there, and he was the last onepCry

desert sun
#

ahh i just noticed, the weird glowing thingy on the mantas head is probably the same glowing thingy thats on our belly

humble barn
tough iron
#

looks at my belly

heady sinew
#

The differences in manta's wings might be because of environment. Natural selection?? Kind of like how a bird species might have different variations of body parts, because they live in different conditions

#

having trouble englishing tonight SkyLOL

humble barn
#

no I get it Vibatu

mossy bay
#

I like that theory vibatu, because of the lack of light in the forest their wings and body has developed differently

humble barn
#

I think the valley manta body suit the windy climate of the valley better

tough iron
#

In hidden forest there are blue crabs instead of dark crabs compared to Golden.

heady sinew
#

It's the lighting I think

humble barn
#

the crabs in forgotten ark look whitish

heady sinew
#

Also for the prairie mantas the extra flaps might help with staying balanced on random gusts of wind

humble barn
#

and we know some crabs are bigger than others

heady sinew
#

Too bad all Krills are black SkyLOL

#

You can't pick up that one crab at the beginning of graveyard

#

Too chonky

mossy bay
#

Maybe when the ark area becomes restored we will be able see more details of the krill, I wonder if they can even survive in lit sunny climates

desert sun
#

ooo good point!!

#

maybe we can bring the crabs out and see how they interact with sunlight too

heady sinew
#

Yes plz

desert sun
#

it may help figure out what darkness is

heady sinew
#

It would make sence Krill can only thrive in dark places

desert sun
#

crazy how light creatures kinda can tho!

heady sinew
#

Mostly because they have their own source

#

Dark creatures are constantly dark, being under the sun would drain away their darkness

#

unless

mossy bay
#

Mmm like the saying there is no light without darkness

heady sinew
#

Yup

mossy bay
#

I think it might be possible

#

Do the krills only charge at us because we replicate a baby manta?

drifting copper
#

well we have light pEyes

#

i don’t think they like light

mossy bay
#

Mm ok just scouting for light creatures seeking to destroy them

#

I guess we are more resilient than the mantas, I wonder why they don’t consume our light though

drifting copper
#

i’d be annoyed to see this random red orange creature moving around and ruining my sight

#

we’re not 100% light like mantas so krills can’t straight up consume us

desert sun
#

the in game start menu sometimes says that krill are eager to consume your light

#

why? man idk

humble barn
#

They are inside our holy land, UNFORGIVABLE.

desert sun
#

does that mean that crabs also are hungry for light?

drifting copper
#

we’re batteries for its flashlight

#

i think crabs also want your light

#

but they’re too small to actually do anything major

heady sinew
#

In the spanish version of the home intro sometimes it will pop up too. It says it's hungry for light in this case

#

So yeah, they probably think Skykids = snacc time

mossy bay
#

I think the crabs are angry at us for different reasons, because we share a likeness to the spirits who destroyed their habitat

desert sun
#

understandable considering the poor manta that gets in wasteland

heady sinew
#

The whole "walkcycle reveals how Crabs are made" hint had led me to the theory that Crabs are mimicking a boat's sway because they are intimidated by the spirits that come on them.

mossy bay
#

I wish the krills hoovered up our winged light like how a spaceship abducts you with its light 😅

heady sinew
#

Like a defense mechanism, "this scares me, it should scare predators too"

#

That would be cool lmao

desert sun
#

but the hint implied that discovering what the walkcycle mimics would also lead us to discover the origins if crabs

heady sinew
#

Broken boat pieces pEyes

desert sun
#

which is why its actually a really big thing bc if we discover the origins of crabs we can potentially figure out where all dark matter and creatures come from

heady sinew
#

What nags me is, I have no clue wether I should think of in-game stuff or if the walk is related to something in the real world

desert sun
#

ex Act ly Yy

#

its very hard to think about

heady sinew
desert sun
#

this was a while ago but i found it in my gallery again

#

it presents us with... nothing SkyTada

heady sinew
#

For the love of Elders pFIRE

#

Big brain time

#

I assume the first part is "the [crab] [walkcycle]"

#

No wait

desert sun
#

walk cycle?

heady sinew
#

The walking cycle of the [crab]

desert sun
#

should we make a doc only for crab hints

#

i cant believe i just said that string of words

heady sinew
#

I forgot who said the hint but I remember they told us the walkcycle had a reason for being animated the way it is

#

Not a bad idea tho

mossy bay
#

That’s not even fair pCry The only movements I’ve noticed on the crabs is that they like to circle around and then they get riled up if you’re too close and then charge and if they hit you they hide and turn into a pebble they stay as pebbles if you leave them alone.

desert sun
#

literally ash gives us all the hints on the crab

desert sun
#

we shout at her for being such a cryptid. but she only laughs in response

#

actually, ash has responded to the thought of boats being tied to crabs. but shes only ever entertained the idea

humble barn
#

edited the pic/ my sis says these stones are crab fossils

desert sun
#

that would make sense, i never really stopped to question it tbh

#

ash came back in april for a lore drop?? why didnt i hear about that pFIRE bruh

#

@humble barn what do you think about crabs?

humble barn
#

i don't have my own theories on them now

#

i am at a loss how to interpret the crab murals

desert sun
#

🦀

sly kestrel
#

If anyone finds another sighting of this symbol, plz tell me
It has 3 connected triangles with 1 big triangle in the middle, and in the middle of that triangle there is a diamond

desert sun
#

ive seen a bit jay, i will keep an eye out for you stickerHeart

sly kestrel
#

Everyday
I take one step closer to solving ash’s hints

tough iron
#

I have a question, is the eye of eden goodguy or badguy in the story of sky?

sly kestrel
#

The eye of eden isn’t a person

tough iron
#

I know ;-;

#

But in the story

desert sun
tough iron
#

As a whole

sly kestrel
#

And technically there is no good guy or bad guy

#

It’s simply darkness

#

And light

#

Eden was corrupted by this darkness

tough iron
#

It was once good?

sly kestrel
#

And hmmmm that symbol does sort of resemble it

#

And yes

#

Eden wasn’t made with rock rain and destroyed buildings on purpose SkyLOL

tough iron
#

Ur name says professional liar should I believe u? :<

desert sun
#

no

sly kestrel
#

I don’t use my lying skills for this chat

tough iron
#

Thank u

sly kestrel
#

In this chat

#

I never lie

desert sun
#

i do stickerOK

sly kestrel
#

Everything is the truth when it comes to lore discussion 😌

#

Also dae keep a lookout bc that symbol actually is kinda close to it
It jus seems like the top triangle was cut off but they both have the design concept

desert sun
#

ok but seriously, what connections are you drawing with that symbol jay?

#

i know its been hinted at before but i havent seen much on it till now

tough iron
#

About this cool guy here cameout of nowhere

hushed steeple
#

I think the crabs are angry at us for different reasons, because we share a likeness to the spirits who destroyed their habitat
@mossy bay have you guys checked the murals in ark's cave?

tough iron
#

Or lady.

hushed steeple
#

they told the story of crabs

tough iron
#

rushes to golden

desert sun
#

@tough iron i knew i wasnt crazy! theres a glitch with the forest elder atm

tough iron
#

That thing.

#

It's moving really

#

How I got there was..

desert sun
#

you meditated at the shrine

tough iron
#

No

#

It was before the reset for hidden

#

I got to the final stage in hidden transition place to Valley

#

Went home

#

Then went to checkpoint

#

But sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't

sly kestrel
#

I use a glitch called

#

universal cutscene

#

Heheheh dramatic name right

#

And wow she’s big

tough iron
#

Can someone enlighten the pictures? Especially the 3rd one :<

sly kestrel
#

Wdym enlighten?

grim robin
#

Sorry, I'm new here so not sure if I should speak up but I never looked at these murals closely and it looks so fascinating
On the first picture Lynsa posted it seems like crabs were living in the water/lake
Then on the second picture the people came, it seems like they're filling the jugs/pots from the lake
On the third picture it seems that the level of water in the lake fell, or possibly it dried out or got polluted and more crabs are coming out of it

#

And people and mantas are fleeing away from crabs

tough iron
#

It makes sense

#

Thankyou

steep coyote
#

I think the pollution thing is the Canon one, and we can see it also because there are tubes in the entire Westeland

#

It would be cool if in one of the next patches they add a season where we need to restore the entire Westeland to it's original beauty

#

Like the Ark :3

drowsy spoke
#

Yeah!

#

I would like to see eden as it were before too

steep coyote
narrow siren
#

I think there’s a YouTube video on a pretty dated eden I’ve seen it and they sacrifice emotes instead of wings

#

But that might not be the oldest one

fickle glen
#

in beta the spirit emotes were the ones that allowed you to gain wedges

modern grail
#

If everything is made out of Light (megabird), does this includes the spirits? pThink

brave socket
#

Detail on the game I just realised today. If you almost run out of light, you can transfer light to a lantern/candles. Then if need to recharge, you can go to the lantern/candles.. I feel like this is an analogy for the game. When you transfer the light to another vessel, it won't cost you more light. I feel like this is telling us that it doesn't cost anything to give (or share), and in the long run, it might even help you more. Also technically can be used between player to player interactions

#

The krill died suffocating

cobalt palm
#

He eventually wiggled free

#

My thoughts were, if the krill cause wind, is the storm in Eden an indication of the darkness?
I was always struggling with the causal relationship between darkness and the storm, but with this seems the darkness causes the storm

round river
#

Isn't that the best time to get close for real and try to climb on it?
We don't usually got this kind of chance😂😂

cobalt palm
#

I did indeed

dull coral
#

@cobalt palm the krill have a small pressure around them that forces the player away. Most of the pressure is forward, but if you pass closely underneath them or above while not getting seen, it will force you away from the krill just like an Out of Bounds wind wall

#

I wonder though if it wasn’t just the devs using the push coding they already had available instead of creating a separate library for Krill push effects.

cobalt palm
#

could be, but then they could have made the bodies have a collision object, like the boats or manta

dull coral
#

The Krill have an immense amount of detail to them, so the collision would need to still be a separate object linked to the krill to save resources... however, the Krill are scary and meant to instill fear and force you to run away, so it makes super sense that it would be a wind wall object thinking about it from a lore perspective.

sly kestrel
desert sun
#

im getting that mask immediately

#

thats cool though, the spirits thought that whales were important enough to make masks out of if

dull coral
#

Wow

desert sun
#

(also jay your character looks sick)

short summit
#

Ugh. I have a theory I wanna post but im too lazy to type cause I jsut wrote 3 essays in one sitting

ornate terrace
serene pulsar
#

It looks more like a scar bc it’s more pointy and there’s a broken part at the bottom

#

There also is a different tear mask, but it could just be a different style of tear with the spirit

silk lynx
#

IMO it's a rust mark

#

Caused by tears, maybe?

#

Notice how there's a completely differently shaped mark at the bottom, but it's the exact same color

#

AKA regular wear'n tear rust

serene pulsar
#

Ah yeah that makes sense

main gate
#

Do these triangle support beams appear anywhere outside of Eden? I don’t think I see one at shipwreck pipe area. I found them interesting because that seems to be the only metal thing in Sky besides the gilded roofs 0.0

serene pulsar
#

I feel like I’ve seen metal pipes in wasteland before? Maybe not triangle ones though

exotic narwhal
#

metal pipes

#

is this whole game a metaphor for industrialism

sonic urchin
#

Yes

exotic narwhal
#

ok

serene pulsar
#

Maybe it is skyShrug

sonic urchin
#

Yeah, we don’t know.

main gate
#

Hah time to parkor the pipe area

sonic urchin
#

It has been said that each area represents a stage of life tho

#

IE isle is birth prairie is childhood etc.

exotic narwhal
#

so is the golden wasteland my late teens

sonic urchin
#

Nah, I think it’s middle age. Teen makes WAY more sense though SkyLOL

main gate
#

Midlife crisis sucks fam

#

Yea that industrialization thought is interesting

cold steppe
#

I think Valley is teen years

#

and golden wasteland is adulthood

#

or something

serene pulsar
#

I think Forest would be teen years

cold steppe
#

let me find the "official"

sonic urchin
#

Or forest. And valley would be like, early adulthood

serene pulsar
#

But maybe that’s just bc I cry a lot idk

main gate
#

I hope it’s eden doesn’t signify that it’s the old age of humanity after industrialization lel

exotic narwhal
#

probably represents giving birth

sonic urchin
#

Or actual death

exotic narwhal
#

yes it's a joke but like think about it

#

reborn

#

ehh

sonic urchin
#

Ehhh

exotic narwhal
#

idk

#

im tired and its not even 6

#

i was thinking yeah ok death probably since you literally die

sly kestrel
#

Isle is birth, praire is childhood, forest is teenage years, valley is adulthood, wasteland is mid life crisis, vault is old age and enlightenment, and eden is death

sonic urchin
#

Thanks Jay. Figured we could count on you

sly kestrel
#

That’s the motive for the state of the realms they are currently in but in terms of the sky ppl, they didn’t have stages of life in mind when they built everything

cold steppe
#

ah right

#

also I just saw Tom Zhao's website for the first time

#

it's amazing

#

I kind of wish Sky was a console game so we could have gotten a lot of those concept art elements

sly kestrel
#

For example, they didn’t build golden wasteland to be a wasteland and they didn’t build forest to be all corrupted and making it represent teenage depression
Devs did that

#

And yesssss

cold steppe
#

but then we would have missed out on it being an amazing mobile game

#

BUT ALSO the final battle would have been amazing

sonic urchin
#

So epic

sly kestrel
cold steppe
#

YES

sly kestrel
#

That’s console game status 😂

sonic urchin
#

SO COOL

cold steppe
#

Vault remains pretty much the same, it looks like

exotic narwhal
#

hold on LIGHTNING BOLTS

#

WUH

serene pulsar
#

Ohhh that’s gorgeous

sly kestrel
#

They even said that if they were ever gonna add sky to console or pc they would need an upgrade

cold steppe
#

Vault?

sly kestrel
#

Ye that’s vault

#

Well the concept of vault

serene pulsar
#

If they make it a console or pc game, they could make it more of a spin off almost? Like use some of the same lore and gameplay but change it up and make some different areas?

#

That’d be a lot of work though, admittedly

cold steppe
#

in a way though, it really drives the point home that Sky is the story of a post-apocalyptic world

sly kestrel
#

And as u can see, it matches the story of the timeline and the concept of vault
Vault is filled with memories and knowledge and according to the timeline, it’s showing the battle of the prince against the creatures

#

But

#

Sadly this never made it to game 😂😭

cold steppe
#

ooh, did the krill get derived from the sentry idea?

sly kestrel
#

I don’t think they were planning krill exactly but from the stuff I seen, they did have dark creatures in mind

exotic narwhal
#

wonder if there will be more dark creatures

cold steppe
sly kestrel
#

And yea sentries and turrets were thought to be in wasteland before
But once again, it was never added

cold steppe
sly kestrel
#

Rlly? It looks more like a dark presence to me

#

A SHADOW

exotic narwhal
#

OH OH I JUST REMEMBERED

cold steppe
#

the front part looks like metal, and the back looks like shadow

exotic narwhal
#

you know what the enemies in sky remind me of

cold steppe
#

kinda, yeah

sonic urchin
#

I want a giant spider to try and kill me. And squid. Oh my gosh these are all SO cool!

exotic narwhal
#

also a great game btw

#

anyways yeah

cold steppe
#

tbh, if TGC had added the giant spider-like dark creatures, I probably wouldn't be playing now

sly kestrel
#

We were robbed of a lot of dark creatures but since this game is 9 and up and ppl are scared to even go to wasteland, I think it’s understandable why they never added all that

cold steppe
#

I'm terrified of giant spiders

exotic narwhal
#

lol im scared to go to wasteland, not because it's scary but because it keeps crashing the app hahahah

sonic urchin
#

True. I’d pay a lot of money for a console version if it had this though

sly kestrel
#

Scared of crashing 😂😂

cold steppe
#

if I had a console, I would too

frigid jungle
#

had a bit of wasteland crashing today. lol now the zone scares me both in function and form.

sly kestrel
#

Also they still have to make it compatible for android as well

#

So that restricts it even more

cold steppe
#

yeah

sonic urchin
#

Yep. Well, it’s amazing now anyway so as long as they keep going the way they have I’m happy

sly kestrel
#

anywyas
Let’s try to get back on topic, concepts are old ideas of the game and it’s not much relevant to the current story of sky

exotic narwhal
#

i mean technically it's a discussion of what the story could've been

#

but ok

sly kestrel
#

Could’ve been

exotic narwhal
#

you know im just gathering from the art that this could've been a completely different game

cold steppe
#

yeah

exotic narwhal
#

and i think thats neat

cold steppe
#

but the limitations of the mobile platforms changed it to what it is now, which is also amazing

wind bone
#

Things cut to the game doesn’t necessarily mean it was due to hardware restraints or age ratings, it’s usually just their vision has changed

cold steppe
#

true

exotic narwhal
#

that's also what i gathered, i just like looking at what things could've been

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

just cuz i think its cool

fickle glen
#

Quite honestly, I think turrets would have been a more reasonable explanation to why the lights have set patterns

sly kestrel
#

What lights?

fickle glen
#

Krill lights

sly kestrel
#

But those are creatures

#

Turrets were the towers with the diamond on top

fickle glen
#

Turrets would've made more sense if there are pre programmed paths

#

But eh, krills are more terrifying, I'll give them that

sly kestrel
#

It’s good that way

cold steppe
#

can you imagine wasteland with AI-like krill?

#

that track you without a pattern?

fickle glen
#

Yessss

exotic narwhal
#

lol i cant take them seriously now that i know we call them krills

cold steppe
#

thank Alex for that

fickle glen
#

AI krill would be even more terrifying

exotic narwhal
#

the 'dark dragon' thing stuck with me for a while lol

#

now im just like
giant shrimp with legs

fickle glen
#

I knew they were called krill before I even got to GW

exotic narwhal
#

it make helicopter noises lol

stoic abyss
#

Like jeez imagine trying to hide from the krill after it saw you and you see it slowly move towards where you hid

exotic narwhal
#

i dont need to imagine

#

ive lived it

fickle glen
#

it make helicopter noises lol
@exotic narwhal Glad I'm not the only one who thinks that

exotic narwhal
#

yes

fickle glen
#

@cold steppe Lmao nobody calls them dark dragons

cold steppe
#

exactly

#

except TGC

fickle glen

so were the spirits the invaders or was the darkness the invader?

#

"Face the dark dragon"
translation:
"play peekaboo once with the krill"

fickle glen
#

I completed one of those quests in eden and I was like "now's not the time!" as I got spotted by the krill near the hallway

cold steppe
#

we are getting off topic

fickle glen
#

Hnggg Does anyone have a reason to why krills follow a set path lore-wise? (I feel like I'm asking stupid questions each time I go to the big brain channel)

desert sun
#

people speculate krill are actually robots because of that

fickle glen
#

Makes sense

desert sun
#

or maybe not robots, just some kind of invention

#

probably meant to guard something

#

i personally dont have a reason skyShrug i usually shrug it off as [game design]

exotic narwhal
#

i was thinking about how when you find a hiding spot they just completely shrug you off

#

and was like, do they just detect light?

#

is that why they're always hanging out in the dark, they like the dark and whenever they see something light they wanna "snuff it out" i guess

torn silo
#

But the krill’s eye is a light too

undone steppe
#

So my personal theory is that humans created krill

cold steppe
#

like the spirits made krill?

undone steppe
#

Yeah, in a sense

#

See, I'd like to pose the theory by stating that in The beginning, there was light and dark. Light embodies the heavenly, ethereal, energy and generousity
While dark embodies earthly, solidarity, absence and entropy

#

Spirits were industrious creatures, like the elders. They caught light and used it to power their machine made of darkstone

#

This caused polution which lead to the decay of light and the need for more lead them to build more machines that gathered stray light and gave it to them

#

(I'd like to note that TGC is no stranger to classical story elements influencing their lore choice as journey was a hero's journey masterpiece)

Sky's concept of dualism can probably be attribute d to early western mysticism.

#

Things like the tarot, astrology, and gnostism had a particular subsection involving "The Mountain"

#

It's the idea that the earth and heaven connect at a place atop the peak of a mountain.

#

This is the place where up is down, white is black and Epstein killed himself.

#

The theory that we are hybrids also fits nicely into this idea (as well as if we were the prince as birbmama and the king of the mountain represent heaven and earth.)

#

Tldr earth and sky had lil babies because humans decided to end the world and mix the two.

#

By the by if we haven't already deducted this, I'd like to lay claim to
"The Heirophant Theory"

(Because Heirophants were thought to marry opposites and be a connection between realms :)

uncut bone
#

Alright lore junkies, what's your thought on the season of enchantment?

sly kestrel
#

heheheheh

#

Copy and pasting time 😆

#

This is my view and opinion on the backstory of the ark. The spirits from the season of lightseekers found this mysterious light source and decided to share it with the scholars, they then adapted it to make new powers, psychic, illusion, fire, water, air and earth. Scholars had an idea to change the world with this power, to seek prosperity and change, probably to undo the damage in wasteland. When the season started it even said that these spirits were on their way to prosperity. But with all that power and all the orbs in 1 single ark, it attracted a deadly storm and caused them to crash into a deserted place. They were stuck here without a way out so they decided to adapt to their environment and wear clothes for the desert and we see them as “turban” clothes. One of them even made a farm. With no way out, another one of the scholars painted murals on the ark so someone could know their story and maybe one day, someone will find the ancient ark buried underneath the sand and return the lost lights.

#

If u don’t know about the season of lightseekers, this might not make sense

cobalt palm
#

@uncut bone the spirits were the ones to create magic from light gathered by the lightseekers.
They go on an ark to bring prosperity, but are hit by a storm which lands them in wasteland and scatters the light from the pots they were carrying.

They gather mushrooms and start farming the land, and paint their story on the cave walls.

They try to use their limited light that escaped to change the land, but it fails until it is restored to them.

After a while they and the ark are covered by sand for an age.

Until we discover them and return their light and then are able to restore the beauty to wasteland.

#

The types of the magic created from light are:
Red that dwells in darkness, which restores memories and murals.
Blue that dwells in pure waters, which restores the purity of water.
Cyan that dwells in early morning breezes, which restores the air.
Green that is a gift to the earth from the sky, which restores nature and plant life.

#

Is there a reason why we can only have access to the elders in orbit

worldly linden
#

I was reading through the interviews and out of all the things to not be canon in sky this was not what I was expecting

drifting copper
#

then what are they in pEyes

sly kestrel
#

It’s jus our interpretation of it looking like glass

dire kindle
#

P-plastic bottles?

sly kestrel
#

Most likely not

#

And I wouldn’t put too much thought to it
It’s jus something magical and it’s shaped like a potion for our interpretation and our view. No glass, no plastic

worldly linden
#

for beings who carry around fire all the time, i'm surprised that glass hasn't been discovered simply by tripping and falling into sand

dire kindle
#

But,, mah plastic

worldly linden
#

(that's an exaggeration and a joke of course but you know what i mean)

pale kestrel
#

Does anybody have a video of the beggining cutscene?

#

Ty

silk lynx
#

@worldly linden Maybe physics are somehow altered enough in their realms that such method is simply not feasible?

worldly linden
#

oh maybe! pThink

pale kestrel
#

From my first impression of the game here is my take on the lore

#

We are all stars, the spirits are also stars

#

But brighter ones I think

#

Idk

#

But the spirits fell from the sky because of the darkness

#

And they didn't listen to the main star

#

Aka the glowy guy in the afterlife

#

He was calling them to free the eye of eden (the source of the light) that was trapped by the darkness

#

So the glowy guy (also the first person in the beginning scene) sent the moths (lesser stars) to save the day

sly kestrel
#

The stars that fell

#

Are the elders

pale kestrel
#

Yes but we are stars too

sly kestrel
#

The spirits weren’t always dead, they were ppl once too, and they were always on the ground before the elders fell

pale kestrel
#

Ohh

sly kestrel
#

Skykids, elders and spirits are all different species

pale kestrel
#

Eh

#

That was my version

#

Was just sharing my theory :/

fiery condor
#

Oh so there was civilization before the elders fell?

#

So I’m assuming the elders we see now were like megabird’s ‘angels’ whom she sends down to lead all their souls back to her

sly kestrel
#

I’m not sure if the megabird exists or not since it was an old concept but if she was in the current game I don’t think she sent down the elders bc it said that it was darkness that caused the elders to fall, she didn’t send them down intentionally.

drowsy spoke
#

Hm, can you imagine how the skykids would feel like going into the office though?

#

Like Woah what is this ghost thingy, this transparent thingy, this thingy, and CRAABS

wind bone
#

Bro what is this invisible wall ????

#

(There is no glass in the sky world)

#

Do you think that sky kids would run full speed into a glass door

#

Canon: sky kids are strong enough to walk straight through glass apparently

#

(Kidding)

drowsy spoke
#

Woosh

hollow summit
#

What I’m thinking is: Wasteland was probably this amazing castle!! It even looks like one!

#

But that begs the question: If it was a prosperous castle, where are the spirits there? How come it’s buried in sand?

wind bone
#

They died

sweet dirge
hollow summit
#

I mean, I figured— But there aren’t any spirits in the Wasteland near Vault....

#

While there are many in the Nest and Swamp..

wind bone
#

Wasteland is the hardest hit by the corruption outside of eden

#

They either died or fled

hollow summit
#

Er— Theres one near Vault.

#

My thought process is, assuming Wasteland was an amazing castle with many folks— Where are the rest of the spirits? Did elder Sky Kids before us come to save them?

wind bone
#

I don’t think so, the devs said we are separate from the spirits

#

I think that they caused their own downfall

#

The whole area is filled with pollution and corruption

#

They were blind with greed and power

round token
#

so this may be a lot to ask but can anyone give me a rundown of all of sky’s known and popularly theorized lore? I read the documents in the pins but they were a bit confusing to me 😅

wind bone
#

That’s kind of hard lol, can you say which parts were confusing and maybe I can elaborate?

celest spoke
#

(from way upthread) wait how can they not have glass with all that pottery around? Though I guess I’m not sure how to tell in-game whether the pots are fired or unfired clay, and they don’t have the sheen of vitreous glaze... and gold can be found in pure form so doesn’t need ore-smelting, and can be cold-worked... but surely the huge anchor and chain near the Ark farm are non-gold forged metal?

wind bone
#

It was said during a livestream that glass is like.. modern? And the sky kingdom is supposed to give off an ancient feel

#

If you think about it it does make sense

#

When you look at ancient buildings they don’t really use glass do they

celest spoke
#

Glass was def’ly a luxury item, but it’s existed since like Mesopotamia and ancient Egypt— mostly small artifacts like beads/amulets and perfume vials are known, but larger items are exponentially less likely to survive unsmashed over eons

The fancy architecture in Skyworld has a very similar color scheme to the Ishtar Gate, though Sky stone seems to be naturally blue-tinged rather than cobalt-glazed

vocal lantern
#

im sorry im just looking at the messages above and just imagined a sky kid flying full speed into a glass door and probably cracking it a little

sly kestrel
#

@hollow summit we don’t see ALL the spirits who died in wasteland
We jus the spirits that are designed to teach us the emotes
There’s no doubt that TONS of ppl died at wasteland, so jus bc we only see a few emotes doesn’t mean only a few spirits died

#

Who knows
Thousands prolly died in wasteland

#

And we can’t have 1000 emotes 😂
So that’s why we don’t see all of them

vocal lantern
#

well i guess some of them werent talented /j

neon mirage
#

Idea on wasteland-what if it used to be an ocean/lake and they drained it with those big pipes and built a palace

celest spoke
#

But why leave huge visible pipes everywhere

neon mirage
#

And that’s why the crabs are upset and why there’s boats, whale bones and water in the area? Idk

#

The pipes probably served a purpose in their time

vocal lantern
#

yeah

sly kestrel
#

Someone theorized that the pipes were for tar or oil transportation
But there were pipes in eden that held freshwater and if u have headphones u can hear the difference between the freshwater pipes and tar pipes

#

So overall

#

I believe the tar/oil came AFTER the pipes were built

heady sequoia
#

OooooooooooooOoooooo

neon mirage
#

So water first and maybe they took too much and it became something else like mud or tar?

sly kestrel
#

Something messed up the water is my guess

#

And I have theories on it but I need proof before I say it

neon mirage
#

I’m pretty new to the lore area, I just found it weird that there were whale bones and water inside of a castle

#

+those huge pipes

silk lynx
#

im sorry im just looking at the messages above and just imagined a sky kid flying full speed into a glass door and probably cracking it a little
@vocal lantern 😂

sly kestrel
#

Wasteland consists of a lot of things

#

The whole thing isn’t one big castle

#

There’s factories, a graveyard, a partial wall, a ship doc, and I’m not sure what the huge building is but there’s that too

#

Also it was said that the temples for the realms weren’t rlly temples at all
They were simply places that had a lot of importance to that certain elder

#

So the huge wasteland building was jus something important or significant to the wasteland elder.

#

FORTRESSS
THATS THE WORD I WAS LOOKING FOR

#

Yea most of wasteland is like a huge fortress and a place of mass industry

heady sequoia
#

XD

sly kestrel
#

Wasn’t talking to you 😁

neon mirage
#

I agree with that, it seems like the first area has the outer wall and then the boats are for bringing supplies, perhaps jars (of light/butterflies?) or something to provide power or food. Then the last area has the actual temple with a fortified gate and lookout wall around it that’s mostly fallen apart.

#

Do you think the krill messed up the water? Or maybe the storm itself brought toxic rain or churned something toxic up @sly kestrel

sly kestrel
#

Welllll
Here’s my opinion

#

I’ll try to shorten it as much as I can bc it connects to some of my other ideas

#

But
Let’s start on power diamond and industry
Light and butterflies were harvested at praire and put in pots, these pots were shipped to forest and forest had a factory that was able to mix the light with raw materials to make a power diamond. It was their form of artificial light and also their form of technology. Based on all the concepts and live-streams and everything, this was a corrupted power and this is most likely what caused the corruption and rain at forest. The first start of industry

#

Valley thrived from this new tech but wasteland took this power even further
They made huge huge factories bigger than the one at forest and no longer used tiny pots of light. Back to how power diamonds are made, they used creatures of light, butterflies specifically
Well my theory is that when wasteland took it further they used larger animals with more light. This is a small concept I found but apparently if a creature’s body and corpse is left behind that means it died unnaturaly and didn’t migrate to orbit. In other words, it was murder. And that should explain the graveyard. Overall, I think wasteland got corrupted the same way forest got corrupted, the industry of power diamonds

neon mirage
#

They killed whales?? ): my favorite animal in there

sly kestrel
#

Only this time, it was much worse
Darkness grew from this corrupted power, this corrupted technology, water got polluted to almost oil, and.....yea
All the damage at wasteland was caused by this

neon mirage
#

So pollution from industrial production?

sly kestrel
#

But this is all my theory
Usually I don’t type long paragraphs unless I have tons of proof, but here it is

neon mirage
#

I guess I’m wondering where the industry part in forest is?

#

I could’ve easily missed it tho

sly kestrel
#

The temple !!

#

Well

#

Only it’s not a temple

#

It’s what I call a diamond press

#

Like I said before, temples aren’t built as temples but they are places that are important to the specific elder and the forest elder was known for her power diamond production

neon mirage
#

Oh I just figured the temple was their shrine like to honor them

sly kestrel
#

I have a copy and pasted paragraph explaining power diamonds more clearly but here’s a pic that should help ur view

neon mirage
#

I’ll take a look around once I’m in there again I think it’s a really cool (but sad ) theory

#

Are the produced diamonds the same as the lantern things in vault? Or are they the diamond blocks players light up

sly kestrel
#

The vault thingies are lanterns that store knowledge

#

But

#

Vault did use power diamonds

#

My theory on power diamonds is a developed and thought out theory I had for months. It took lots of dev talks and environment exploring to make this, lots of evidence as well
But the whole wasteland theory.....ehh I’m working on it

neon mirage
#

It sounds like you’ve done a lot so far! Hopefully this season will reveal some things about wasteland (:

sly kestrel
#

Well, it revealed a cool story and better explanation about the season of lightseekers
But the origin of wasteland....eh, I don’t think it will show much

neon mirage
#

I’ve only been playing since the winter season so idk

#

I’m just going on what I’ve been able to see ig :0

sly kestrel
#

the key to lore.....is to jus look around
Take a second look around things, notice the symbols, notice the shape of the buildings, the repeated architecture and try giving urself questions like, why is this here, why is this similar to this, how did this happen

#

Stuff like that

#

The devs even said from the beginning
The lore is in the environment

drifting copper
#

gotta be observant if you wanna find out more about the lore

#

i can’t unsee the differences between prairie mantas, and forest and valley mantas now

sly kestrel
#

Even tho it does sound nice to have the lore all written out on a book, it’s not that easy
Also there are manyyyy many games out there that had their lore figured out by the players, they had to figure it all out, and the game devs helped them with it
Sky could be the same, and this game has been live for only about a year, they can’t jus give all the answers out already, no fun in that

#

Where do you guys think the enchantment ark is located in relation to wasteland? sThink you need transportation to reach it..

humble barn
#

somewhere quite far from other wasteland areas we know

#

im not even sure if we should consider Forgotten Ark a part of Golden Wasteland or not

#

i was just mumbling about the location of the wasteland

#

the shipwreck area looks dangerous so maybe it wasn't a good place to add a proper dock

#

boats there are wrecked

#

I think we are not sure about that yet? but in FA there is a hint on why the crabs became evil

#

maybepEyes tho im still not sure how to interpret the crab murals

#

yes

#

skykids are used to storms

#

I think they would have avoided the FA area if the place had always been stormy

drowsy spoke
#

Hey guys

#

I don't think skykids are made of clay

#

I just fell from a fifty something story high mushroom, landed on the ground, and was completely fine

#

And didn't crack or anything

#

So yep

#

I don't think skykids are clay at all

#

I have no idea

#

... slime...?

#

I know XD

#

I'm not a veteran at all, I just supposed that clay would probably break from being thrown from fifty stories up

#

Woah really? Cool!

#

Then maybe they're made of fire clay

#

ooor maybe light clay

undone steppe
#

Darkstone can contain light and stand attacks

drowsy spoke
#

Because they're made of.. light... so light clay?

#

Ooh yeah possibly

pearl void
#

Where do you guys think the enchantment ark is located in relation to wasteland? :sThink: you need transportation to reach it..
@icy pewter somewhere east part of wasteland, but my thought is above the ground on the sky at the clouds, maybe similar to valley, height wise. We did reach there on flying boat above the cloud.

#

Whee i thought I'm done with Sky lore SkyLOL

#

although I'm wondering why is their dock not in the same area as shipwreck?
@hushed steeple that just gave me idea, the shipwreck ship is meant for sailing, the ark is for flying, so the dock is diffrent

#

Btw is there a dock at the shipwreck?

tough iron
#

Saw this at the top of Castle of Golden, i remember someone wanted pictures like these?

humble barn
#

oops I totally forgot that the shipwreck area also has red light

#

maybe it has something to do with the location of FA which has red light

#

imo shipwreck isn't a port it's a shore

#

tho i dunno if the ship got too close to the shore and got wrecked or she was wrecked offshore and ended up there

the concept art is very interesting

theres art of presumably the lightseekers

High quality ✨

mellow sable
#

go check out the page

its filled with theory worthy stuff

#

so the kids ARE stars

#

it seems the capes were meant to be different shapes instead of colors

slim crag
#

Maybe for easier to understand, they were changed

mellow sable
#

theres 6 elders and then this figure

slim crag
#

Waste land elders?

mellow sable
#

that thing turns into a black hole

#

a thing no light can escape

#

much like the storm

#

the birds are seagulls? huh

slim crag
#

If that is all, so dark

mellow sable
#

is it a krill?

slim crag
#

Cute one

mellow sable
#

a krill before getting corrupted

#

it has a blue eye

slim crag
#

Manta have eyes?

umbral mirage
#

mantas are krills?

#

well

#

corruption looks really thick maybe?

#

so maybe enough corruption latched onto it

and... shifted it?

hm.

#

we know wasteland was the "human" world

but isle is also below the clouds

so megabird spits out kids in isle, they go through all the realms, go through orbit as a full soul and then get coughed up again

the old krill look like pinecones,,,

dawn, day, rain, sunset, dusk, night, storm

#

in the original storm you fought the king?

night sleet
#

Hm

mellow sable
#

this is a treasure trove

#

dusk is wasteland

#

and theres an ark

#

so could the enchantment spirits be royalty?

#

they did get the lights from the vault scholars

umbral mirage
#

i dont think so; they can farm

#

most nobles wouldnt know how to do that

#

So hm

#

Maybe

#

Finding some where new to live?

#

the world under the clouds was supposed to be flooded

it seems to be very early concept art though

#

theres actual lore in here

#

Well often only nobles had free time/resources to be scholars when peasants are busy peasanting all day

#

the holy land is vault!

#

so this confirms the theory that vault is a memory

#

all these are different except isle

#

wait

#

prairie

#

not isle

#

Different "iconic?!?"

#

The boat, bottle, and diamond makes sense but the last two don’t..

Like this sense of fear of the unknown

the last two are manta and skeleton

Oh gosh looking at those lantern pix makes me realize that the final floating lantern shape is kinda built of eight elongated diamond shapes attached together

stuck flame
#

Oh yeaaahh

#

Land of the dead??

mellow sable
#

these dont really confirm anything per se, but they do relate to many theories going on right now

#

so, what i think the story is

#

sky is a story of a lost civilization that used the stars for energy

slim crag
#

I think last one have same in above the gate in IoD (where before sitting to meet elder)

mellow sable
#

when the stars werent enough, they made the power diamonds

#

this upset the balance and gave birth to the darkness

#

corrupted whales swarmed wasteland, the main city of the kingdom, presumably the capital?, destroying it

slim crag
#

I wish I could

mellow sable
#

its light mold

#

im saying that it made an excess

#

which is how krill were born

cobalt palm
#

@misty scarab @mild prism it always reminded me of monsters from Japanese mythology, maybe something from Spirited Away, but can't say the specific

mild prism
#

Nofaaace

mellow sable
#

as a last ditch attempt to save their civilization, they recorded memories and locked them away in vault, while sending an ark with the magic lights found by the lightseekers to search for a new land to inhabit

misty scarab
#

OH that’s what it reminded me of

mellow sable
#

the ark got caught up in a storm and crashed

mellow sable
#

megabird sends sky kids to maintain the balance of light in the world

cobalt palm
mellow sable
#

they destroy dark plants, save other sky kids who had perished, and then go to orbit to be reborn

mossy bay
#

In the intro it says ‘bring our lost stars home’

mellow sable
#

sky kids, from my understanding, cant truly die

mossy bay
#

We only have one mission, to ascend the lost spirits

mellow sable
#

the lost stars are the winged light i bet

#

since we give them a vessel to inhabit

#

and then they ascend

#

i think sky kids cant be created OR destroyed

#

since theyre reborn

stuck flame
#

I was about to say they’re like energy—

slim crag
#

I didn't understand it, sorry. But could u pls elaborate?
@hushed steeple Kinda like this I guess...

#

7 realms

#

it doesnt

#

when we're in orbit we have the same body remember

#

and during the ascention sequence

mossy bay
#

We break free from our physical bodies and become pure light

mellow sable
#

then we're given a new body in orbit

mossy bay
#

The time we reach orbit maybe we have already been reborn

#

Yeah

stuck flame
#

Does anyone have any idea on the theory that our physical bodies are made of clay?

mellow sable
#

hm

#

they do look like teracotta soldiers

stuck flame
#

I mean you said that our souls are literally light like our cosmetics..

slim crag
#

That maybe explain why should we melt the spirit to awaken them

stuck flame
#

Ouuuu

mellow sable
#

yeah! they are

#

i highly doubt a dead person can give us an entire table

stuck flame
#

If we were purely light then we wouldn’t even have a shadow

mellow sable
#

the cosmetics are most certainly made of light

#

also, i noticed something

#

the hide and seek spirit wears the chibi mask, but shes actually one of the tallest spirits

stuck flame
#

Yeah!!

#

That’s why she gives us a resize potion after we ascend her

slim crag
#

Any theory about CRY?

mellow sable
#

so the ancestors arent affected by magic

stuck flame
#

Yes I wanna hear about Cry

slim crag
#

Oh

stuck flame
#

What’s her story..?

slim crag
#

I just realize that i read one

mellow sable
#

cry is a story of 4 friends, each one slowly dying

#

we can see the graves

#

so this means ancestors had physical bodies

stuck flame
#

Awwww 😦

slim crag
#

Low temperature and no heat resources so they dead slowly 1 by 1

vocal lantern
#

that's actually kind of dark,,,

stuck flame
#

I thought the dude rejected her—

#

And she was crying——

#

I have a small golden wasteland theory that i quickly wrote up, its a bit all over the place atm

stuck flame
#

But Sky is a dark as hecc game ngl

vocal lantern
#

yeah

#

good point

mellow sable
#

one caught up in the wall darkness, one killed in a rock slide, another dead by darkness and then cry dies alone from either starvation or frostbite

vocal lantern
#

wait but

#

the skeleton is on the other side of the thing

mellow sable
#

yeah

vocal lantern
#

actually if it fell fast/hard enough that could work

stuck flame
#

Let us hear your wasteland theory, good samaritan

mellow sable
#

also

#

if the last one died, she couldnt have had a grave

#

nobody could bury her

stuck flame
#

Poor girl :(((

mellow sable
#

yeah..

slim crag
#

How her memories still there?

mellow sable
#

cry is the saddest spirit story

#

which one is that again

#

OH I REALIZED WHY THE HIDE AND SEEK LADY GIVES YOU A MASK THAT MAKES YOU SMALL

stuck flame
#

She makes you her CHILD :(((((

mellow sable
#

YEAH

slim crag
#

Which is hips ?

mellow sable
#

the child she was playing hide and seek with

#

oh that?

#

its not sad

stuck flame
#

It’s a persona pose??

slim crag
#

Seasonal one?

mellow sable
#

its more triumphant than sad tbh

stuck flame
#

The hands on hip I mean

#

Like the hands on hip is a literal personality? Like a proud, triumphant one

#

tfw when i dont carefully analyze the spirits storieslawl

stuck flame
#

Oh yeeeeaaaa

slim crag
#

Ohhhh

stuck flame
#

I’m just gonna say this:
Sky is a dark as hecc game ngl—

umbral mirage
#

wait they were mom and child?

#

i always interpreted that as like
cousins playing

stuck flame
#

Assuming yeah

slim crag
#

I forgot the original butterfly field look like

umbral mirage
#

specifically cousins for some reason

#

oo

stuck flame
#

Or she might be a big sister??

#

Playing with her little brother?

#

Just assuming

#

The fact that the hide-and-seek spirit makes you her child is still peak devastation

slim crag
#

Did her partner found her?

#

🙊

stuck flame
#

Wait— shoot

#

I’m gonna have to relive her

hushed steeple
#

Hi there

stuck flame
#

I’m feeling stoopid

#

Haii

hushed steeple
#

Hey y’all I gotta question

#

So uh, yknow the race? If you hang around for a bit, there’s this blue butterfly that follows you

stuck flame
#

OH YEAH

slim crag
#

That is spirit?!?

stuck flame
#

I’ve been meaning to ask about that—

#

But like you’ve relived all the spirits in the area so it doesn’t make sense

sly kestrel
#

The blue butterflies at valley are an old beta memory

hushed steeple
#

Oh goodness

stuck flame
#

Ohhh

hushed steeple
#

The MatPat of sky is in the house, boys

stuck flame
#

Wowowowow

crimson grove
#

The points in the race used to be butterflies, i guess some decided to stay around SkyLOL

#

You can even catch one if you're fast enough

stuck flame
#

Ouuu

sinful lantern
#

Ahh hi guys im writing about sky for my english class so i wanted to ask

#

what do you think sky's main message is

empty wraith
#

omg i love that youre doing that

#

definitely a game about giving

#

you might seem lost at times and life can be both bright as dawn and dark as the wastelands; you might lose hope after giving and giving to those around you and there are times where you might seem lonely, but know that you're not alone, and just as you bring the light to others, there will be someone to give you light.

undone steppe
#

It's one hundred percent about generosity, reciprocativity and cooperation

#

The very idea is that by sharing, you create more than the sum

sly kestrel
#

Well the main motive is the stages of life but there are a lot of messages about the whole game of sky

sinful lantern
#

ok thank u guys! that was helpful stickerHeart

modern hemlock
#

I don’t know if this is the channel for it or not, but I couldn’t decide if any other channels were better for it so I’ll put it in here

#

I was wondering, do you think one of the reasons why the white cape is so expensive might be as a reference to how hard it is to get the white robe in Journey? I think that would be cool

cold steppe
#

I kind of doubt it. The prices for cosmetics seem to get gradually more expensive as you progress through the constellations (think the prices from Isle vs. prices from Vault). But it would definitely be an interesting easter egg

modern hemlock
#

Eh, it’s just a neat thought I had. I wasn’t really expecting it to be true

steep coyote
#

I was wondering... Why the Blacksmith of the Hidden Forest acts so mean when we offer her the light?

desert sun
#

people say its just their personality

#

i dont know if theres a definite reason, they probably just like that

sly kestrel
#

Personality

steep coyote
#

Oh

#

If I were a elder blacksmith of a dying forest, I wouldn't take anyone's shade.

#

"Can you get on with it little light child. I have alot of smiths to black."

sly kestrel
#

....I have a lot of smiths to black

#

🤣🤣🤣

He is not you’re right

undone steppe
#

What does it mean???

#

The truth is out there.

wind bone
#

I have no clue

#

There is a reason for it but we don’t know what that reason is 😔

sly kestrel
undone steppe
#

Hmmmm

#

So the boatman seems to be some form of pyschopomp

wind bone
#

Mirian said that’s just what she thinks and that could be a reason but not the reason

sly kestrel
#

Basically the eden gate is an old beta model, the reason why it’s still not renewed is bc it prolly still has the same meaning of isle being birth while eden is death

#

Also

#

I think ur right

#

Cuz I keep telling ppl about stuff being old beta models, like the bird at the citadel, the gate, etc
But sometimes I wonder

#

If it’s an old beta model.....why do they still keep it

sturdy gate
#

Isn’t it weird how eden tells us what’s the time? Every detail matters right

#

And sometimes isle does that too

#

Or maybe that’s just a bug

undone steppe
spring blaze
#

give isle gramps some rep

sly kestrel
#

Hmmm

#

Maybe theirs some meaning as to why isle isn’t on there

#

I always thought that the elder in the boat was "Caronte" from the Divina Commedia

the eggs in hidden forest are krill eggs? i mean they can only be either the krill's egg or the whales egg since no other animal in the game is that big other then the manta

#

I thought they were manta eggs

undone steppe

Krill eggs in the hidden forest stickerGloomy

#

I assumed they were manta eggs. Just took a screenshot of them today, and the one is painted like the jars.

#

I wonder if mantas take a long time to hatch and maybe someone painted them long ago (to celebrate them ?)

Ohhhh. What if that’s what the crabs do too? Mimic barnacles and rocks. That would explain why they are always near water

I have a question you guys might be able to answer

#

In home, the Isle’s portal has darker stone than the rest

#

And the bottom stones of every portal have the same coloring as the isle’s portal

#

Why is rhat?

#

That?

#

I just read the pinned google doc containing fan theories, and I really like the ones talking about how children create their cosmetics with light, emotes being from children’s point of view, and other stuff like that relating to the children. It makes them seem so adorable!

#

They’re just the cutest〜

#

Hehe, I’m gonna go be an adorable child now〜

#

What if... What if the statues in Eden actually represent other players who die in Eden.. And then we go save those statues.. But we die and turn into statues.. And then someone else goes and saves us..

#

Cuz at the end we embrace our light,correct?

#

Not sure if that's a legit theory, just popped into my mind

cold steppe
#

since it was a feature that was removed, I don't think it's canon anymore
