I see it more as, this game is about memories, behind its altruistic message. A lot of people must have been into those races, put a lot of time there. So, your character, who is connected to all these memories, can hear those cheers because it's a big collective memory connected to that place.

I get about 16 candles per day.. wish they organized an event where u could get 100 candles per day for a monthpFIRE pFIRE pFIRE pFIRE pFIRE SkyLOL SkyLOL SkyLOL SkyLOL

@sly kestrel maybeeeee....

EveryoneSkyLOL

Jays not lol

tranquil thicket
#

just look how hectic general sky discussion is

frozen pivot
#

Actually now i have a theory on wats the sky kids that flaps around the realms purpose is

swift kindle
#

just look how hectic general sky discussion is
@tranquil thicket i moved over here because of it šŸ˜‚

tranquil thicket
#

yeah it's kinda... a lot lmao

sly kestrel
#

U are literally given a purpose in the intro

frozen pivot
#

Other than saving the elders

sly kestrel
#

General sky discussion u can’t even see ur message after 2 seconds

tranquil thicket
#

but do they have a purpose other than to save the elders and themselves die so that other children can be freed?

#

do they need one?

sly kestrel
#

Ima jus pull and ash and say

frozen pivot
#

The reliving of memories and stuff

sly kestrel
#

WAFO

tranquil thicket
#

I have no idea what wafo means

broken basin
#

Whenever i send a long message in general sky discussions and no one reacts. I be like ***

vital perch
#

Other children could be our friends who tried and failedskyShrug

sly kestrel
#

When I hear a question that’s way beyond answering

#

WAFO

tranquil thicket
#

but isn't that how you save an elder, kitsuu

#

oh lol

#

it was a rhetorical question intended to spark discussion

frozen pivot
#

No

#

U give them light

#

Easy as that

vital perch
#

I saw an old eden vid where our friends names' were written over the sky kids statues

tranquil thicket
#

oh you said elder not spirit. F I completely misread that

#

mm. do you think the elders need saving?

frozen pivot
#

Its wat the cinematic literally shows

vital perch
#

As if they tried and failed and we need to save our fallen friends

tranquil thicket
#

oh whoa

#

that would be very cool but also in the beginning would be kinda odd if you didn't have 63 friends

frozen pivot
#

The sky kid gives them a speck of light then the twins proceeds to smack it around for some reason

tranquil thicket
#

also would be kinda funky if you went in with your friends šŸ¤”

vital perch
#

also would be kinda funky if you went in with your friends šŸ¤”
@tranquil thicket That's y they removed it

tranquil thicket
#

q about the elders. are they alive or dead do you think. because they don't present like spirits do

sly kestrel
#

U reconnect them to the light specifically

tranquil thicket
#

but at the same time they clearly exist in some other space

vital perch
#

q about the elders. are they alive or dead do you think. because they don't present like spirits do
@tranquil thicket I think they are alive

sly kestrel
#

And they aren’t dead

vital perch
#

But can't join the light

frozen pivot
#

Reconnect seems vague

tranquil thicket
#

why do you think that is

frozen pivot
#

Or im just too dum

sly kestrel
#

Can’t even spell dumb right

frozen pivot
#

Ikr

hushed steeple
#

All spirits aren't supposed to exist because they were dead once ? šŸ¤”šŸ˜†

sly kestrel
#

Huh

#

I’m confused what ur asking

frozen pivot
#

Oh i think wat he meant is why theres only few spirits that exists

sly kestrel
#

Well many did but we are jus given a few

desert sun
#

Reconnect seems vague
@frozen pivot elders were once part of "the light" but were disconnected from it and sent down to the sky kingdom where they then perished. we as skykids were tasked with reconnecting them with the light

sly kestrel
#

No doubt there were hundreds or thousands of ppl in the sky world once

desert sun
#

basically; the intro

frozen pivot
#

Why were they disconnected in the first place

desert sun
#

thats a point of theorizing

hushed steeple
#

When we die we become spirit. They died and are spirits lol> I’m confused what ur asking
@sly kestrel

sly kestrel
#

Still confused

#

We don’t become spirits

Spirits

sly kestrel
#

That’s why they jus look like balls

vital perch
#

But we already see the spirits flying?!

sly kestrel
#

Those are spirits u haven’t relieved yet

vital perch
#

U haven’t relieved those yet
@sly kestrel Nah, I relived every spirit.. Unless u talking about previous travelling spirits

frozen pivot
#

I too have those comet thingy despite reliving all the spirits in the constellations

desert sun
#

i get those blue lights as well but i

#

yea

#

maybe its old seasonal spirits

frozen pivot
#

Or ts

sly kestrel
#

Well in theory, it’s old seasonal spirits bc

desert sun
#

šŸ˜Ž

sly kestrel
#

Traveler spirits are old seasonal spirits pOhReally

frozen pivot
#

Theres 17 possible ts as of now and will be more when this season ends

sly kestrel
#

But when I relieved more, the less the uncompleted spirit balls appeared so that’s when I realized that maybe these are jus uncompleted spirits

we should prolly move to general or seasonal chat

sand abyss
#

Mhmm definitely

#

I sense no lore/theories here

desert sun
#

wait

#

maybe lorewise they come back as traveling spirits so we can ascend them to orbit

vital perch

I think its the dance spirit

#

It’s not it’s the head pat

frosty helm
#

Mini lore of the day:
You can spot a Darkstone outside the Valley starting places for the racing games that probably opens the doors.

sand abyss
#

it’s the head pat spirit if you’re talking about the current TS

desert sun
#

a darkstone? @frosty helm

vital perch
#

Why is the two player door in the ice rink tho? And the empty cave?

#

a darkstone? @frosty helm
@desert sun power diamond

frosty helm
#

a darkstone? @frosty helm
One of those crystal things you have to light with your candle in order to make stuff happen

sly kestrel
#

We can’t call em darkstones......yet

desert sun
#

oh word

sly kestrel
#

In theory they are darkstones like the concepts but, for now it’s jus power diamonds

desert sun
#

there are many many definitions of darkstone running around my brain hurty

sly kestrel
#

Yea there’s 7 so far

frosty helm
#

Can I call them PDs?

vital perch
#

New infinity stone to control Darkness

#

frosty helm
#

This chat has officially devolved into chaos

desert sun
#

may i present something new to the table pWow

frosty helm
#

Please

desert sun
#

so yall ever notice when you light candles with your candle, theres a halo around it?

frosty helm
#

It's kinda hard to miss

#

But yeah

desert sun
#

the same thing happens when you do a deep call

#

it is so hard to send videos nowadays

frosty helm
#

Huh

#

All the more proof that Skykids are pure lihgt

#

light*

desert sun
#

so basically what i think this means is that deep calling/shouting is like.... a radius of light

#

or an explosion

#

it explains why crabs fall over when we deep call-- its probably like we are blinding them

#

it doesn't explain why krills are unaffected though

frosty helm
#

Krills are more powerful than a crab or a candle

#

This also explains why deep calling restores other people's light

desert sun
#

yes exactly

vital perch
#

What if they add a feature that if 4 or more friends deep called together by holding hands, they can paralyse a Krill for sometime?!!

frosty helm
#

SUGGEST IT

vital perch
#

Yeaa

desert sun
#

krills do go blind after attacking you pEyes

vital perch
#

In feedback... Rather than wishlist lol

desert sun
#

i say its possible

frosty helm
#

There

#

Twice in a row

vital perch
#

Lol

#

I sent it to live feedback too

desert sun
#

thats my theory on calling and i stand by it SkySalute

frosty helm
#

I agree

desert sun
#

oh also- the bells in home work the same way

#

like whenever the time changes and the bells start ringing from isle, itll also activate the halo on the candles

#

i have yet to see if animals like mantas can do it too

#

actually, my next test should be if krills can do it

#

if dark creatures' shouts dont activate a halo on a candle then that would confirm that dark creatures calls are different than creatures of light

#

update just realized there are no candles in wasteland 😐 its a bust

unborn fog
#

ok i m back what did i miss

#

ah cool easter egg stuff

#

i ll just do schoolwork i guess stickerGloomy

desert sun
#

what do yall think about krills eye?

unborn fog
#

hmmm looks like a police searchlight

#

wee woo

vague plover
#

Oof I'm back I was mowing a huge lawnSkyFaint I think its quite spooky, I wonder why crabs have little spot lights as well? Or is it because they are little buds

hybrid horizon
#

I’m not really sure about the blue and red light but to me it seems like it’s scanning for children or other sources of light

unborn fog
#

i think the crabs and the krills are related definitely cause of the same light patterns

vague plover
#

Indeed

#

Oh I have kinda a lore question, when we enter the chamber with the platform for the 8 player puzzle, why is there little jellies there?

#

Is it because it's just pure light there still?

unborn fog
#

well we do see jellies and cosmic creatures when there is vertical motion, like in vault and to the forest diamond press

hybrid horizon
#

Someone’s probably already said this but there’s a model of the ark or a similar ship in prairie

sly kestrel
#

Seems like a generic boat design

#

Actually....that boat was used in praire

hybrid horizon
#

Wait really

sly kestrel
#

Ye

hybrid horizon
#

I’m stupid then I guess

vague plover
#

Oh cool!

hybrid horizon
#

Never seen it

sly kestrel
#

It’s actually in the wave emote cutscene

vague plover
#

In the memory of the wave emote right?

#

Op

sly kestrel
#

That’s.....what I said 😐

unborn fog
#

yeah they were like putting on the bell tower or something while some random spirit came over and said henlo

hybrid horizon
#

Cool

vague plover
#

Sorry I didnt see before I posted it my bad oof

frozen pivot
#

i feel like whenever seasonal spirits are added, they match the place they get added to

#

or thats wats actually happening

cold steppe
#

I think that's kind of the point

frozen pivot
#

ye wat i said

#

and thats a really nice touch

#

because it really adds the atmosphere that realm once had

#

before they all went ded, extinct and bones

#

but some seasons have connections to other seasons iirc

desert sun
#

i have found out that a krills hjonk has the same properties as a skykids hjonk

unborn fog
#

wait do krills even hjyƶnk

desert sun
#

yup

sly kestrel
#

Whales do too

desert sun
#

its more of a roar

#

but when they charge at you they do a call

sly kestrel
#

Actually almost every creature in sky does a honk

#

Except the fish of course

#

They jus swim

#

🐟

unborn fog
#

does a roar even classify as a hjyƶnk at this point

#

or does it just recharge crebs

desert sun
#

well a krills roar activates the halo around candles

sly kestrel
#

Same think honestly

#

They all have this concept of a honk but jus....different sounds ya kno

desert sun
#

found that out using the candle clusters

sly kestrel
#

When I say honk I’m talking about this
shout_b pHelloKrill shout_a
shout_b pJellyfish shout_a
shout_b pButterfly shout_a
shout_b šŸ•Šļøshout_a
shout_b pWhale shout_a

desert sun
#

same

unborn fog
#

oh i forgot about the krill hjyƶnk
sry i haven t logged on in a week

sly kestrel
#

Oh and this
shout_b stickerPlease shout_a

#

Can’t forget lil skykids

desert sun
#

jay did you see my discovery earlier or

sly kestrel
#

no

desert sun
#

basically, doing a deep call causes a halo to appear around candles much in the same way that a halo appears when youre close to it

sly kestrel
#

Ye

desert sun
#

sigh

sly kestrel
#

Thas what I was talkin about earlier and yea it didn’t work

#

Send it through photos app

desert sun
#

led me to believe that a skykids honk is basically a burst of light

unborn fog
#

hmmmmmmmmmm well yes?
cause it recharges capes too

desert sun
#

it explains why crabs will fall over, cause you're basically blinding them

#

yup that too

#

so then i got a krill to roar next to some candles, and it looked like it produced the same effect

barren bloom
#

led me to believe that a skykids honk is basically a burst of light
@desert sun we can charge each other's light with honk!

#

Someone said it already šŸ˜‚

desert sun
#

hehe its okay šŸŽ

sly kestrel
#

Vroom vroom

minor light
#

but if its a burst of light, where does the sound come from

#

and how do the skykids mimic the sounds of animals?

sly kestrel
#

The key to answering super fast is.....using a computer šŸ˜

minor light
#

i hAVe to KnOw

sly kestrel
#

They get it from the spirits

#

Have u forgotten how....

unborn fog
#

it s a photon with mass so it moves the air around it

sly kestrel
#

The default one I think it was their natural ā€œvoiceā€

unborn fog
#

they immitate everything they see basically

barren bloom
#

and how do the skykids mimic the sounds of animals?
@minor light they mimic expression from spirits too

minor light
#

hMM

barren bloom
#

So it's not surprising

minor light
#

now I just sound dumb sorry for interrupting

#

continue

barren bloom
#

We need krill call

desert sun
#

no that was a good genuine question stickerHeart

barren bloom
#

Or emotes

sly kestrel
barren bloom
#

:D

desert sun
#

only problem i have with my own theory is that almost every creature can produce a call

#

including dark ones, so why would a creature of darkness like krill be able to produce a burst of light

barren bloom
#

so yall ever notice when you light candles with your candle, theres a halo around it?
@desert sun it's to see which candles light your cape

#

including dark ones, so why would a creature of darkness like krill be able to produce a burst of light
@desert sun burst like a second before they charge?

desert sun
#

yea, when a krill roars it does the shout_b shout_a

barren bloom
#

Maybe

sly kestrel
#

I think their call isn’t a burst of light but jus an....outburst of

#

Actually idk

#

I’ll add it to the dev q list

unborn fog
#

an outburst of the inner rage of wanting to hug a skykid bug not actually being able to

barren bloom
#

If the power diamond is half dark stone half flame, like shown in the temple forest door... Maybe it's the light (flame) part of the krill that does the burst

unborn fog
#

ooh yeah, but they hjyonk before they charge

sly kestrel
#

We dunno for sure if it’s half darkstone

barren bloom
sly kestrel
#

Although the second material is unknown, there are still theories that the power diamond IS darkstone

unborn fog
#

darkness plant thingies

#

yes wewd

barren bloom
#

Ah yes, it could be just darkstone. But used to trap the flame inside

desert sun
#

maybe its an already activated power diamond, hence why its yellow

sly kestrel
#

Even tho the power diamond theory is one of my most evident ones, it’s still a mystery to me what the second material is

unborn fog
#

and darkness when kids get near them

sly kestrel
#

I can’t even use the word darkstone yet, I need mo proof

barren bloom
#

Even tho the power diamond theory is one of my most evident ones, it’s still a mystery to me what the second material is
@sly kestrel the yellow one is the flame/light balls in isle, no?

sly kestrel
#

No

#

wait

#

Nonono that’s way different

#

But that’s a new theory, I might look into that

barren bloom
#

Laughing spirit memory shows them catching lights with butterfly net, maybe this is the falling lights that ancestors used

sly kestrel
#

No that’s different

unborn fog
#

the fire orbs in isle are from lightseekers so not related i think

sly kestrel
#

Ok so...the light they used for the diamonds was something produced by the butterfly pots

#

Hmmm I think they were a natural creatures that they saw potential in

#

Now before u guys say anything

#

I know you saw the praire elder make a butterfly using our flame, and this may have led u to assume that all butterflies are artificially made with light
But, in my interpretation that makes most sense to me, the praire elder was jus showing us with our flame what the butterflies were made of and that they used em for the pots

#

Tbh it’s harder to explain than I thought

#

But I highly doubt butterflies are artificial

desert sun
#

so........ youre saying symbolism?

sly kestrel
#

Yes all elder cutscenes show it

#

The forest elder showed us how diamonds are made, isle elder showed us whatever he did, valley showed us a better view of the elders and the whole realm actually, wasteland showed us he was a warrior and vault....well all she shows us is representation

#

I’m still looking into it but this is the general idea I had

barren bloom
#

Maybe this is about "fire creating everything" symbolism?
@hushed steeple megabirb alert

desert sun
#

love how nobody at all knows what isle grandpa is doing SkyLOL i have my theories

sly kestrel
#

Hmm maybe
The way I saw it was sort of like a shipping method, they had to transport them from praire to forest somehow

#

But then again there’s flaws so idk for sure

#

Big boi question
Why were they put in pots in the first place?

desert sun
#

shipment?

sly kestrel
#

That’s

#

What I said

desert sun
#

oh SkyLOL SkyLOL

barren bloom
#

Also what I mean about fermentation is that the spirits put the butterfly in a pot to be fermented (like grapes), so it can become a light material for diamonds?
@hushed steeple inside prairie cave where sweating spirit shows the memory, some jars have growing darknesses like mushrooms

sly kestrel
#

And I got pinged too, it’s from the new beta update thingy

#

Off topic but
BETA INVITES ARE COMING EVERYONEEEE

desert sun
#

spoil it and ill catapult you into a krill

barren bloom
#

Big boi question
Why were they put in pots in the first place?
@sly kestrel if boat is powered by power diamond, and if prairie spirit memories happened before the creation of power diamond. How the boats fly to the temple in waving spirit memory? Could it be because boats can be powered by pure light or even just candles and doesn't need power diamond? šŸ¤”

desert sun
#

prairie spirit memories didnt happen before the creation of power diamonds then

sly kestrel
#

They continued it

desert sun
#

iirc the boats in prairie have diamonds on them

jade river
#

So the diamond power is like the industrial revolution in sky?

#

A brand new energy source to boats

sly kestrel
#

Timeline time
Diamond production came, eventually it reached praire and they used em for their boats prolly for faster production

#

Boop

#

Isle is still a beach

barren bloom
#

In the Isle door, there are yellow diamonds in both end of the boat. Maybe they're using a primitive type of diamond, or maybe something else. But I think those are what power the boats in Isle
@hushed steeple
Or maybe it's bigger boats that need power diamond, like the ark

desert sun
#

boats are literally in every realm. i see them more like cars

sly kestrel
#

They may have reached all of em at some point

barren bloom
#

What if vault is power diamond storage 😮

#

So the diamond power is like the industrial revolution in sky?
@jade river yes

jade river
#

The diamond revolution

#

We need to add that into sky, as the eden storm is caused by the creation of power diamonds

#

Eden to OP please nerf it

#

What is

Outside the sky world

Empty sea

Undiscovered lands

Ruins of humans

#

I just got that question

#

What is beyond the clouds

barren bloom
#

Could be. I'm sure back then we don't need wings to reach the temple.

#

@hushed steeple

sly kestrel
#

Vault isn’t power diamond storage

#

They use em

#

But it’s not a storage for them

jade river
#

@sly kestrel i believe it was a storage room for diamonds before the eden storm

sly kestrel
#

It’s called vault of knowledge for a reason

#

Those lantern things all over the place are like books in a library but sky edition

#

They stored allll kinda of knowledge and memories as well as forbidden knowledge

#

They used power diamonds for their tech but they didn’t store them in there. Before or after eden, they never built vault to hold the power diamonds

neon mirage
#

I hope there’s a season in vault where we get to look at some of the information stored there

sly kestrel
#

Same

#

Doesn’t even need to be a season, jus.....make it like a new feature ya kno

night sleet
#

Yeah. Anything, I don’t care I wanna learn.

#

Ye

jade river
#

Skykids must learn
Skykids must learn

Maybe ur a ghost

i m just a spirit passing by

Also boop, no man can ever read every single message in the sky lore chat
Legend says there are more words in it than there are atoms in the earth

barren bloom

Doesn’t even need to be a season, jus.....make it like a new feature ya kno
@sly kestrel hidden memories on some lantern

#

So players need to rub their face on all of them šŸ˜‚

#

"dear diary..."

celest spoke
#

Sealed butterfly jars grow lil dark plants on them (first seen in prairie cave workshop but not burnable there)— maybe the dark plants themselves are what Forest Aunt uses; they’re a raw component, not a byproduct?

#

...feed light creatures to them like venus flytraps?

#

Hence trapped mantas

barren bloom
#

😮

neon mirage
#

Omg 🄺

barren bloom
#

That's sad

neon mirage
#

If that’s the case maybe the plants proved invasive and escaped the pot containers into more of the realms

celest spoke
#

I was wondering earlier about Sunny caves as mines/farms for production, bc drawbridge for regular boat passage

#

Actually that could also tie into crab mines at Ark

jade river
#

Imagine mining crabs with a pickaxe

#

We need pickaxes in the game

#

And to make a tower of crƦbs

drifting heart
#

Tbh, this may seem like old news but, do we know what the King looked like? If so, where?

unborn fog
#

oh i have a pic

#

both from ginsy

#

but the king was scrapped

drifting heart
#

Yeah that bit I know, I just wondered what he looked like.

unborn fog
#

yeah the links take you to images

drifting heart
#

Danke.
Also, here's a more lore speculation thingy. We know all the elders were capable of a lot of things, but just how powerful were the elders?

#

Also also, what does the Megabird look like?

#

Is it.. really a colossal bird.

unborn fog
#

it looks like an overgrown lava feather

#

you can find it in the orbit credits

drifting heart
#

Oh so it's just a feather.

unborn fog
#

i mean judging by the scale it s larger than a planet

drifting heart
#

What if.. the feather though.

#

Is only how much it could fit into the reality Sky is in?

unborn fog
#

4th dimensional physics has entered the chat

drifting heart
#

And the full body of the Megabird is bigger than a galaxy or something

#

But anyway giant godlike space birbs aside.

#

How strong were the elders in life?

#

We know they're basically dead ingame, and they're still pretty strong.
But how strong were they beforehand?

unborn fog
#

i m waiting for one of the lore theorists to get in the chat lol cause i honestly don t know

#

but presumably pretty strong, since well they led the kingdoms and made power diamonds and such

drifting heart
#

Wasteland Dad was probably the strongest of them all. Given he's the warrior elder.

#

There's a little theory I have that Wasteland Elder had a relationship with Vault Elder. Given how GW is before Vault, and in his cutscene he seems to be guarding the vault's gate till his final breath.

unborn fog
#

if i recall correctly the vault was built after the wasteland war

celest spoke
#

Suddenly envisioning Eden King singing some version of ā€œLet It Goā€ as red diamond kersplodes all around him

drifting heart
#

I have a feeling the vault was built before the war.

#

And that the ruins of the main building you go into to enter the vault is actually the outer "walls"

#

Sort of like a shell for the vault.

#

And Wasteland Dad was put in charge of the city that was around the vault.
During that time he and Vault Mom(?) Become friends and, eventually, form a cute little relationship. Then the war happens, with Wasteland Dad leading his troops to fend off the enemy forces.
He manages to beat off the last of the enemy warriors, but his wounds are too great and he dies... sorta?

#

It's hard to tell if the elders are actually dead-dead or just.. in a pocket dimension.

unborn fog
#

they exist in a separate plain of existence, and iirc there s a timeline that says that the vault was built later

drifting heart
#

True.

#

If anything they could be immortal

#

Ye. And given location of the vault and the wasteland, well more like the city that was there before stuff went down.

#

Who knows maybe Vault Mom and Wasteland Dad interacted.

unborn fog
#

it is confirmed that the elders knew eachother before they fell

drifting heart
#

True but I mean like, WE and VE interacted more with eachother than like.. WE and IE or VE and FE.

#

Given the distance between their little sectors.

celest spoke
#

Hm so no timeslip theories about Valley Twins growing up to be Forest/Wasteland and then Vault/Isle

drifting heart
#

So who knows, maybe the two elders had a relationship.
Or at least a very close friendship.

#

What would?

#

The friendship theory or the twi- oh.

#

Well to be fair it is still a theory.

#

We really don't know how much the Elders actually interacted with each other.

#

Vault and Wasteland being the only ones directly next to each other.

#

And the twins don't count because, well they're siblings.

celest spoke
#

We know butterflies were sent from Prairie to Forest tho that doesn’t directly imply any connect btw the elders

drifting heart
#

Yeah. Those butterflies were probably even delivered by common folks.

#

So Butterfly Dad probs barely had an actual talk with Forest Mom.

#

And then there's Gandalf.

#

Sorta?

#

Isle Grampa I like that xD

celest spoke
#

Hm actually would there’ve been a more practical conduit btw Prairie/Forest tempkes than the route we take? Like underground or overcloud?

drifting heart
#

Well does lore say when it started raining in the forest?

celest spoke
#

Or were the Forest butterflies all sourced from Sunny caves?

drifting heart
#

Probably.

#

Maybe Butterfly Dad/Mom helped bring butterflies into the main bit of the forest.

celest spoke
#

Butterflies live in main Sunny, but they’re just flyin round

drifting heart
#

Maybe butterflies were like the cows of Sky?!

#

So you need pros to herd butterflies into areas.

sly kestrel
#

And the full body of the Megabird is bigger than a galaxy or something
@drifting heart the megabird isn’t a physical ...mega bird, it’s more of a high entity of light that rules over everything. But this is all a concept we still aren’t sure if she’s in game or not

We know butterflies were sent from Prairie to Forest tho that doesn’t directly imply any connect btw the elders
@celest spoke it was said that the elders always knew each other even before they fell so, they were all prolly close before

unborn fog
#

jay is back to spew forth the great knowledge that is lore

drifting heart
#

Oh hey welcome to the discussion Jay.

#

You missed the theory of Wasteland Dad and Vault Mom being lovey dovey.

sly kestrel
#

Read it all

#

Usually I jus skip it but this time

#

I read it all pFIRE

#

And since they knew each other before they fell and the sky kingdom is YEARSSSS old, I won’t be surprised if there were closer relationships with the elders besides friendship

#

Also ppl had the idea that since valley elders are twins, they are brother and sister so that’s why they are so close and it’s as if they are each other’s halves. But then again I wondered hm, lovers could prolly be possible too since they have no parents so technically there’s no proof that they are brother and sister.

#

Unless....there was an original valley elder that died but had 2 kids
But that’s a bit of a stretch šŸ˜‚

drifting heart
#

I actually like the theory that the elders had relationships not gonna lie!

#

But the hard part would be who would be with whom?

#

Wasteland and Vault is kinda easy, Valley is easiet.
But the other three is kinda.. iffy.

sly kestrel
#

Well I could b wrong and they could jus be friends and acquaintances but, for now we actually dunno

#

They jus said that they knew each other before the fall

drifting heart
#

True.

sly kestrel
#

And timeline wise, it’s a realllllyy really long time

#

Can u handle ur wife for 10,000 years

drifting heart
#

Well that's if Vault and Wasteland were married.

#

Or if they were just bf and gf

sly kestrel
#

Actually

#

U reminded me of something

drifting heart
#

Hm?

sly kestrel
#

Ahhh I forgot which livestream or note but I remember hearing vault and forest elder are related

#

Ugh lemme find it holup

drifting heart
#

Like as in siblings?

rough quartz
#

have you guys ever wondered about the fact that we need a candle between two people who havent met before so that they can talk?

#

But as they become better friends they no longer need a burning light source to talk

drifting heart
#

Man Jay is delving deep

#

Maybe.. you're strengthening the bond between your friends? Allowing their Flame to grow and thrive.

rough quartz
#

in that case is friendship a form of fire

drifting heart
rough quartz
#

and thats why you offer a candle in order to become friends

drifting heart
#

Mind just exploded.

rough quartz
#

haha

sly kestrel
#

I sense

#

A Tokyo ghoul pfp

rough quartz
#

where?

sly kestrel
#

Over there

rough quartz
#

oh shoot yah

#

idk he seems like he likes anime

#

should prob steer cleer

#

clear

sly kestrel
#

I was jus wondering

#

But hey Tennessee

#

Wait no

#

Tallahassee

#

I found it

#

But

#

All I have to say is

#

WAFO

drifting heart
#

Wafo?

sly kestrel
#

Yes

drifting heart
#

Also imma say this a million times but just say Talla. Full name is a time waster

#

What's WAFO?

sly kestrel
#

šŸ§‡

rough quartz
#

waffle?

drifting heart
#

Ah

#

So anyway there's talk that Isle Grampa and Vault Mom are related?

sly kestrel
#

Wait and find out

#

That’s what it means

drifting heart
#

Ah

#

Also just to clarify something I found.. odd.

#

Forest Mom is a blacksmith right?

cobalt lintel
#

It looks to be, yea

sly kestrel
#

Hm sort of

#

But I believe it was sort of a representation that they forged power diamonds

drifting heart
#

Then why doesn't she wear the proper blacksmithing attire?

cobalt lintel
#

I think that she was more of the leader of that guild or something

drifting heart
#

Like.. gloves or something

#

She be touching hot hot power diamonds with her bare hands

sly kestrel
#

Like I said, it seemed more symbolic then jus a simple clear picture

#

And how do u kno heat will hurt her, if the power diamond is hot 🧐

drifting heart
#

ngl she do be kinda hot tho
True, she could be like Garnet.

sly kestrel
#

Oh u should’ve seen her concept art

drifting heart
#

Where swimming in molten lava would be the equivalent of an ice bath to her.

#

Also

#

Where's this concept art?

sly kestrel
#

no it’s too dangerous

#

But anyways, the way she showed how she made the diamond....I don’t think it’s actually how they were made in the real world

drifting heart
#

Dude. DMs exist.

#

Maybe.

sly kestrel
#

And I say real world bc the elder cutscenes take place somewhere beyond space and time

drifting heart
#

But there would still have to be some heat involved.

#

You can't forge without heat

sly kestrel
#

And each elder cutscene is more of a symbolic cutscene, it’s not jus a bunch of random events

#

What if in the sky world, heat doesn’t harm

drifting heart
#

Maybe.

#

.. now I'm imagining Forest mom chilling in a pool of lava being like "This is fine."

sly kestrel
#

Also, there’s a lot more too it than that
The word forging and blacksmith doesn’t rlly fit to how they were actually made

drifting heart
#

..true.

#

Maybe it's a completely different smithing but the drawings look like blacksmithing.

#

Cause there is the anvil and hammer.

sly kestrel
#

Hmmm

#

Do u kno how power diamonds are made?

#

Talla

drifting heart
#

Not.. really.

#

I sorta have a theory where they're made with intense amount of energy involved.

sly kestrel
#

Yes

#

That energy comes from the butterfly pots that were shipped from praire

drifting heart
#

So that's why the pots erupted like that.

sly kestrel
#

Forest uses a machine which I call a diamond press and it stamps this material along with another material found at forest and imbues them together into a power diamond

#

This was their technology

#

The start of their corruption

drifting heart
#

They became reliant on the technology.

sly kestrel
#

The day they were like
Ugh forget natural light, thats boringggg
Why can’t we jus MAKE POWER

#

By the way, these diamonds were also said to be the downfall of the civilization

drifting heart
#

btw if you get the chance tho, dm me that forest Elder concept art you call "dangerous"

#

Sort of like.. nuclear reactors?

sly kestrel
#

To take this even further, it may be involved with the statement ā€œif only they had listenedā€

drifting heart
#

How they're really good at producing energy but are extremely volatile.

sly kestrel
#

Jus so u kno I got an f in speech and advanced English so can u tell me what volatile means šŸ™‚

drifting heart
#

Basically.

#

High high chance of blowing up.

#

Boom explosions, high chance of destruction.

sly kestrel
#

Well in theory, the diamond at eden is a huge power diamond
A final product of ā€œhumanā€ greed and lust for power, but it grew unstable and blew up causing the sky world to be the way it is now

#

We have no proof of this being true but the diamonds being explodable is a possibility

#

Unstable power, kinda like how we use nuclear energy for high powering things

drifting heart
#

Possible

#

And what's going in with Eden is symbolic with a Nuclear Fallout.

#

But this is getting gritty and sad time to make it wholesome.

#

So with the whole relationships with the elders.. that makes me wonder if families were ever possible in the society

red meteor
#

They are! The proud stance/piggyback stance from the valley supports the theory that there were children bc the other spirit in that memory is designed like a mini version of the spirit

drifting heart
#

Interesting.

#

But that would pose an odd question..
Could the elders have a family? Or did their jobs restrict that luxury. Or did they see each other like a family.

Remember, family doesn't have to be entirely genetically based.

#

Dang now I wanna see Elder babs pCry

#

Someone start making kids for the elders.

unborn fog
#

tallahasse dm me the specs and i ll draw up some concepts for you

drifting heart
#

Specs? Like what kind?

unborn fog
#

like idk lol like what hairstyle, height, mask, build, idk lol just describe them to me over dms and i ll try to make something

drifting heart
#

Ah.

#

Well, maybe when I have some time SkyLOL

#

It's like, almost 20 till midnight here.

#

But there is one last theory that's been wracking my brain..

#

I know the King was scrapped but..

#

Was he truely evil?

unborn fog
#

i mean he was trying to kill you in eden

drifting heart
#

Remember, he may look evil in our eyes.

unborn fog
#

bruh you live in pdt too SkyFistBump

drifting heart
#

But what if it was like Asgore.
He only did those things to help his people.

#

And the reason he's fighting because the drive to continue and save his people.. but deep down he thinks he doesn't deserve forgiveness for what he's done.

#

He's only continuing this strife because he doesn't know how he can stop it.
He just wanted to help his people, protect the things he cared for.

#

But in the end, he brought ruin..
and now he believes he does not have the right to be given mercy by Megabird.

sly kestrel
#

There were many concepts of the king and his intentions

#

But in every one, it seemed like he always turned out evil in the end

drifting heart
#

But evil is always subject to the eyes of whom who view it.

sly kestrel
#

And based on everything I’ve seen, it wasn’t jus darkness that corrupted his heart

drifting heart
#

Whether it's true evil, or "his actions are evil but his intentions were just."

sly kestrel
#

He always had greed and power lust from the beginning

#

I’ve seen no concept of the king being a decent person

drifting heart
#

Wasn't there a prince as well?

unborn fog
#

yep, they were supposed to lead you through eden

#

orbit oop

drifting heart
#

So maybe, his dad was an ultra bad guy.

#

Like truly evil.

#

But the prince was the good one all along.

#

Oh god it's Lancer and Chaos King all over again

#

Anyway that's enough lore theory spouting for one day. I need ta sleep.

sly kestrel
#

Wait

#

There was a concept of the king and prince being the same person

unborn fog
#

i want to snep too

sly kestrel
#

Jus wanted to let ya kno that

#

Snep

unborn fog
#

ooooo same person?

sly kestrel
#

Yea

unborn fog
#

spill de tea

sly kestrel
#

But that’s a different concept

unborn fog
#

oh concept lol

sly kestrel
#

Ye

#

Every reference of the king is a concept idea so mine as well jus tell you šŸ˜‚

#

You’ve read this timeline before actually, in our little crab chat
The prince was someone who stayed by the megabird’s side and when he found out about darkstone, his power slowly corrupted him, a dangerous technology. He was crowned king later on and this was when the peak of civilization started, he was king, the ppl bowed to him and everything was filled with prosperity

unborn fog
#

omg i forgot about crab chat lol

sly kestrel
#

Ye

unborn fog
#

i don t remember that lol i ll have to look again

merry valley
#

Ok so confetti spirit

pure root
#

did she actually choke on confetti-

#

or did she eat a flower

This is why confetti has a warning label

unborn fog
#

oh yeah that time line i remember that now

merry valley
#

Y u m

sly kestrel
#

She was collecting flowers

grave glen
#

what is the relation between flower and confetti

#

lol

sly kestrel
#

The concept was that each spirit was supposed to bring something to the dinner table

pure root
#

we're talking about confettu emote spirit lol

grave glen
#

The one in sunny forest

pure root
#

The concept was that each spirit was supposed to bring something to the dinner table
@sly kestrel so she brought flowers?

sly kestrel
#

That’s exactly what I’m talking about

merry valley
#

Ohhhh

sly kestrel
#

The confetti spirit was collecting flowers

grave glen
#

in daylight prarie

livid valley
#

thats smart

pure root
#

but how did she die-

sly kestrel
#

I’m still confused why her emote is confetti, but she’s a kid collected flowers is all I know

merry valley
#

These theories are kinda dark and I’m living for that

grave glen
#

maybe she sucked in too much pollens

livid valley
#

but how did she die-
chocked on a flower obv

merry valley
#

Nice

sly kestrel
#

U guys are...

#

Wow

grave glen
#

:3

sly kestrel
#

Flower choker

pure root
#

did she get carried away and fall to her death because she wanted more flowers

sly kestrel
#

Don’t even kno what to say anymore

livid valley
#

maybe she fell into the clouds

grave glen
#

greed and death wow

#

imagine having a flower choker in sky

#

do sky kids have necks tho

sly kestrel
#

Idk maybe look at ur skykid

merry valley
#

She lost track of time while picking flowers and died of starvation

grave glen
#

maybe she fell into the clouds
@livid valley but doesnt the cloud recharges her cape energy, theoretically

pure root
#

like the ukulele/banjo/shamisen spirit:

he was being moody and didnt wnat the other spirit to bother him so he locked himself in the 2 player door but he couldnt get out and he died alone

livid valley
#

yes shes not a sky kid

sly kestrel
#

Ok I thought u guys were joking at first but idek anymore

grave glen
#

She lost track of time while picking flowers and died of starvation
@merry valley she felt the starve and decided to eat flowers and choked and died

merry valley
#

I’m never serious

#

YES

sly kestrel
#

He didn’t die alone, he got out of the door obviously

pure root
#

bruh-

livid valley
#

what about the 8 player door spirit

merry valley
#

S A W TRAP

pure root
#

which one was that again

sly kestrel
#

😐

pure root
#

i havent done that much research

sly kestrel
#

This convo kinda made me laugh Ngl

pure root
#

crying spirit: mourning the death of her friends
skykids: haha skykid go cry

sly kestrel
#

Welp, time to sleep in 3 languages

merry valley
#

This convo kinda made me laugh Ngl
@sly kestrel good

livid valley
#

Mhm

unborn fog
#

Welp, time to sleep in 3 languages
sleeps in incoherent babbling

red meteor
#

The prince almost being the guide in eden flight sounds like the last pure version of the early king leading pure versions of sky kids while the king as he is on our land/dimension is the shadow like we’re shadows of the pure wing lights

sly kestrel
#

Read the text

#

Tbh I never put much thought to it

#

Also if u look a bit closer, the huge stone thingy in the temple where u climb up is actually one huge pot

hushed steeple
#

Wut

#

I don't think jay is talking about valley's temple

#

Or maybe I'm wrong

barren bloom
#

Also if u look a bit closer, the huge stone thingy in the temple where u climb up is actually one huge pot
@sly kestrel which temple

elfin vessel
#

I wouldn't trust him

nova tiger
#

@barren bloom Valley temple, enter and head to the left and there is an opening. Walk inside and go to the left side of the first stairs which has wax. keep going down that hallway and there should be a shinyboi aswell as the pots and stuff

barren bloom
#

I mean... What's that huge stone thingy @sly kestrel mentioned

nova tiger
barren bloom
#

Idk why but i can't click the link...

#

Can u screenshot it please

Valley temple birds eye view

There's this island near home

#

I think when we die before eden the game send us there

#

To collect a wing and resume the game
@broken basin

#

There are 2 island far away from wasteland shipwreck and it seems there's something shiny which twinkles when you look at there ||maybe a wing light stickerShiny ||

broken basin
#

Is anyone here??

#

I want to discuss

#

All the elder cutscenes

round river
#

There are 2 island far away from wasteland shipwreck and it seems there's something shiny which twinkles when you look at there ||maybe a wing light stickerShiny ||
@hushed steeple
I remember someone says that that place is from old beta@sky and that twinkles things is meditation spotšŸ¤”

hushed steeple
#

Whaaaaa

#

But we can't go there now? @round river

spring blaze
#

the island at home is actually where the intro murals are!

#

back when table was the ultimate oob tool, you were able to go to that island if you’re determined enough

#

the murals you see when you first start the game (aka the intro) is there pWow

#

and yeah amio* we cant go there anymore because theres a windwall blocking us from going to that island in wasteland

hushed steeple
#

Yes so table will help?

spring blaze
#

but the meditation spot doesnt do anything so its nothing

#

no

#

i mean u can try but good luck SkyFaint

#

Anyone has ideas about Golden Wasteland? Why is it called "Golden" and what it was before becoming a "Wasteland"?

#

Tbh I haven't spent real time making observations in game to create my own theories as I always need to catch up the demands of earning candles for traveling spirits.

#

I am really wondering who or what were the two sides in GW because it seems there was a war that occured from the evidences of spears, shields, barricades and maybe more other forms of weapons.

uncut bone
#

@abstract crypt Alright so

#

I'm going to go on a bit of a rant here

#

Jay can correct me if I'm wrong

#

Was a giant war in wasteland, that's why there are all the weapons

#

In the cutscene, it shows the wasteland elder protecting the gate to vault, and protecting it until he almost died

#

So whatever was happening, wasteland was there to stop who/whatever was trying to get in.

#

Why it became a wasteland, is because of too much diamond production. You could see what happened to forest with that.

#

Acid rain.

#

Industry caused the corruption.

round musk
#

My guess is that the forces of darkness invaded, e.g. the dark dragons, and turned the realm into a wasteland

uncut bone
#

No, not really.

#

I believe that krills were meant to be guardians of some sort.

desert sun
#

yea based on the shields and stuff we have a theory called the "two shields theory" which is basically a civil war occurred in wasteland

uncut bone
#

Aye.

desert sun
#

we judge this based on... the two different shields

uncut bone
#

One with a symbol of a sun, and one with a symbol of a diamond.

#

The sun was on the side of letting all light be free and whatever, and not use it for energy.

abstract crypt
#

yea based on the shields and stuff we have a theory called the "two shields theory" which is basically a civil war occurred in wasteland
@desert sun Can you tell me what is the two shield theory?

uncut bone
#

The diamond was for the light to be used in the diamond press, and to convert it into the golden diamonds.

#

@abstract crypt Read what I'm saying.

abstract crypt
#

Okay

uncut bone
#

Basically, the spirits had a civil war in wasteland.

#

Diamonds vs Sunlight.

round musk
#

That makes sense.

uncut bone
#

The result, no one knows.

abstract crypt
#

Diamonds as source of power

uncut bone
#

Right.

round musk
#

The discord would have spread darkness across the realm, corrupting it fundamentally

uncut bone
#

Vs light being free and not using it as a source of power.

abstract crypt
#

Well Vault has damages it seems like they succeeded in infiltrating it

uncut bone
#

Jeez man, read up.

#

Vault is a dream.

round musk
#

How so?

uncut bone
#

Vault is basically prepping you for eden.

#

If you look somewhere back, there are some points for this.

#

Oh, and jay is here.

sly kestrel
#

Want me to correct you or do u wanna freestyle

uncut bone
#

Yeah correct me

sly kestrel
#

I mean technically there’s no right or wrong answer, so u can keep going if u want

uncut bone
#

Nah, I want to know what I'm theory wise wrong about

abstract crypt
#

Hmm I guess I really have to back read insanely as I can't avoid asking something already discussed here.

uncut bone
#

one of the devs said once in a livestream that vault was supposed to seem like something out of a dream, as well as a "training level" for eden

abstract crypt
#

How can it be training for Eden though?

sly kestrel
#

Well, here’s mine
They weren’t protecting vault, the symbol on the 2 shields actually gave me motive as to why they fought. They sun shield had that natural light symbol and the diamond shield I’m pretty sure it represented the faction at wasteland and their terrible diamond production. Wasteland has taken this way too far, corruption was starting, diamond industry was taken to another level and it was horrible. Therefore, there was a battle, and it was the ppl who supported the light vs the ppl who were with the diamond production and protecting wasteland. Basically a fight to jus stop all this. We don’t kno who won but theoretically the wasteland elder switched sides bc he once had a diamond shield but he ended up switching to the natural light shield. He prolly knew it was all wrong and joined them

Well, if you think about it all of the realms are metaphorical

uncut bone
#

Yeah seems about accurate

sly kestrel
#

And I can explain that too
Not much training but he said that it was to prepare us or to see the spirits past and understand them before we enter the ā€œbrutalityā€ of eden

uncut bone
#

But why was the wasteland elder shown protecting the gate?

abstract crypt
#

Vault really tells me it's all about "Wisdom"

#

And I can explain that too
Not much training but he said that it was to prepare us or to see the spirits past and understand them before we enter the ā€œbrutalityā€ of eden
@sly kestrel Makes sense

sly kestrel
#

What we see in the elder cutscenes is more symbolic and metaphorical other than a clear picture

abstract crypt
#

From all the realms it's GW I am most curious of as it is the realm that looks messed up the most aside from Eden ofc

unborn fog
#

midlife crisis, also the war stated above

round musk
#

That makes so much sense

sly kestrel
#

I said a lot of things, which makes sense?

uncut bone
abstract crypt
#

I've read about why there is no Elder of Eden shown in game and was discussed here, it was the "King"

unborn fog
#

yeah that was a scrapped concept but there is evidence that the king did exist

#

along with the prince

sly kestrel
#

He was apparently taken out of the game but some of us still theorize that he exists

#

round musk
#

midlife crisis, also the war stated above
@that.cambion.nerd#1202 Yeah this theory works with the symbolism of the realm

unborn fog
#

*symbolism

desert sun
#

doesnt the eden elder technically appear in game

#

in the intro?

abstract crypt
#

Read the pinned posts and it's really unlikely they put a new realm as each realm represents/symbolises the stages of life

uncut bone
#

Hmmmm

sly kestrel
#

Here’s a better view
These people found this dangerous tech thats evil and involves the death of creatures, but it was a rly good power source. But good guys wanted to stop them so a war broke out

#

Oh we doing king talk

#

I can do tha too

round musk
sly kestrel
#

Calm down ur eyes

unborn fog
#

how many people are at the bottom i can t see

desert sun
#

if not a king then there was definitely some sort of ruler

sly kestrel
#

It doesn’t matter

#

Ash said that the squiggly lines at the ppl jus represented that there were ā€œmanyā€

#

It could’ve been hundreds

uncut bone
sly kestrel
#

Ahh those are the old lightseeker concepts

abstract crypt
#

So is Eden an actual realm or another dream or something?

uncut bone
sly kestrel
#

Eden is a realm

#

Full on real

#

And that’s an older concept
It seems like they always stuck with the idea of the forest elder making that

abstract crypt
#

Was Eden a happy place before or it is already a death place when it was created?

sly kestrel
#

Well it once thrived but deep inside their hearts they were evil

uncut bone
round musk
#

I don't believe the vault is any more of a dream than the other realms. They only said it was meant to seem like a dream

sly kestrel
#

Kinda like......a good looking kingdom but with bad people
That’s what eden was

#

And then it went boom šŸ’„

abstract crypt
#

Eden is seriously deeply messed up tho

sly kestrel
#

Cuz it went boom

desert sun
#

probably because it was ground zero for the boom

sly kestrel
#

And krill got there, most likely cuz of the explosion and darkness grew there

abstract crypt
#

In orbit why is there structures being destroyed on the way to "space/heaven"

round musk
#

According to the intro, it was their division that caused the darkness, presumably. My guess is that the dark dragons were spawned from the civil war itself

sly kestrel
#

Eden is slowly crumbling and being left to ruin, we jus witnessed this happening

#

Also it was said that the darkness was a natural part of the world

#

ā€œDarkness came and the stars fellā€

#

But there are theories out there saying that they chose to leave their home so they can thrive in the ā€œhumanā€ world

#

Nope

round musk
#

It's clear tho that the darkness was directly related to the fact that the stars were no longer "united"

desert sun
#

^ i agree, it shows that they disconnected from something

abstract crypt
#

Quite a realization we are only on the aftermath.

desert sun
#

right!

abstract crypt
#

Without darkness, there is no light.

sly kestrel
#

Backstory lore is pretty cool but when we go al the way to the beginning, there’s nothing I can speculate on. This is where I listen to ash and jus say

#

WAFO

round musk
#

^ i agree, it shows that they disconnected from something
@desert sun Specifically, each other. The whole message of the game is altruism and mutual support, so what happened is they turned away from each other and became greedy and selfish.

Guys I've a question about krills

@round musk So our role is to bring back people by connecting and uniting each other (?)

@hushed steeple Go ahead

round musk

@abstract crypt Exactly. I think that's the basic idea of the game

hushed steeple
#

Well on my point of view krills are more like machine type other than any living creatures

sly kestrel
#

Well, ur not the only one

#

A lot of ppl think this
Is it bc of the sounds they make?

abstract crypt
#

Krills are Whales who failed to succeed to ascend in orbit

sly kestrel
#

The Whale does ascend in orbit

desert sun
#

i can see the machine krill theory

hushed steeple
#

The sounds plus the blue light

desert sun
#

its based on sounds and movements

sly kestrel
#

Well I think they were tryna put a lil similarity to the guardians at journey but keep going

round musk
#

Dark plants are clearly alive though. I think it's safe to assume all dark creatures are similar types of things to light creatures.

abstract crypt
#

I saw Whales in:

  1. Transition fom Valley to Golden Wasteland
  2. Rainless section in Hidden Forest
  3. In Orbit
hushed steeple
#

Ah yes got it jay

sly kestrel
#

WAIT

#

We dunno for sure tho

#

For now, it’s jus a theory

hushed steeple
#

I know no theory is accurate

sly kestrel
#

And it’s not ā€œwhalesā€ I’m pretty sure it’s jus one whale but it’s moving

desert sun
#

same ^ because we only see one whale on the way to orbit

#

proud of my boy

sly kestrel
#

The last of its kind šŸ˜”

round musk
#

Are whales light creatures or dark creatures? You get hurt if you touch it in orbit

desert sun
#

^ ive theorized on that actually

sly kestrel
#

Well

desert sun
#

cant say for sure

sly kestrel
#

Time to explain again

hushed steeple
#

I think light creatures
Because of the graveyard

#

Some whales were killed to produce diamonds

#

I'm not sure tho

abstract crypt
#

Some whales were killed to produce diamonds
@hushed steeple Oof now I'm mad to Diamond people

sly kestrel
#

Here’s the idea, I think they are neutral
Bc we don’t see light creatures having a physical body and bones, but whales and the creatures at the gy are all neutral and have flesh and blood, a corpse

#

And we aren’t sure that they used them for diamonds

#

So if a creature had bones or a physical body, it’s neutral

hushed steeple
#

Wait jay ghost mantas have bones

sly kestrel
#

It’s a different creature

#

Doesn’t make sense but look closely at the skeleton

hushed steeple
sly kestrel
#

Think to urself, do mantas have ribs popping out, do they have skulls that look like a turtle

round musk
#

They probably just copy and pasted the skeletons from the graveyard, without bothering to change it to fit the spirit whales

desert sun
#

idk that one still doesnt sit right with me, they wouldnt put a manta there for nothing imo

hushed steeple
#

But there's a spirit
Ghost manta call spirit

#

We saw bones there

abstract crypt
#

Do the Skykids grow to be an adult? To become like those spirits we relieve or are they an another race?

sly kestrel
#

And since the whale has a physical body it can harm you, here’s why
We all kno that if we hit something hard rlly fast, we lose light, and the whale is physical so if it’s coming at full force about to break a building and we decide to get in the way and ram the whale of course it will hurt us, it doesn’t necessarily mean the whale is dark

#

The spirits are a different race then us

hushed steeple
#

Oh

round musk
#

Why do they refer to them as our ancestors, then?

drifting heart
#

Ancestors don't have to be linked genetically.

#

Ancestors could be a formal word for like "teacher" or "wiseman"

sly kestrel
#

Also here’s a different way of looking at the whale hurting you in eden
Let’s say theres a huge truck going 100 mph and we decided to go right in front of it and get hit, now ur bleeding and injured, is it the trucks fault for hurting you or is it ur fault for getting in the way

#

Also it was said that they are completely different species I’m not jus going by speculation

desert sun
#

i wont say that whales are dark or light so i can get behind the neutral theory

abstract crypt
#

Whatever the Whale is it's my favourite creature it's cute like a flying giant kind worm

desert sun
#

^^^^ yes

#

but youd still have to ask if krill are the same way as whales because they can also smack some light off of you

sly kestrel
#

no, krill are superior pHelloKrill

desert sun
#

lies

abstract crypt
#

Krills are cursed prawns

round musk
#

I wonder if the whales were hunted for whatever reason, and that caused them to be cautious and not share their light with anyone else?

sly kestrel
#

Krill noice

#

Possibly for wasteland diamond production but as I said earlier I’m still not too sure

abstract crypt
#

I wonder if the whales were hunted for whatever reason, and that caused them to be cautious and not share their light with anyone else?
@round musk Reminds me of Dishonored, Whales are hunted and juiced out as their contents give power

sly kestrel
#

Also krill can take light from us cuz they are simply dark creatures who wanna kill us
