It also has cool murals
Not prairie
isle I meant
Small cave
So many ppl typing yet so quiet
Is CaNdLe RuNs CaNoN?
Aa my good. Just checked out the #general-sky-discussion channel.
All i can say is "CHAOS"
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 month

Makes sense
oh, I do like that. that's a good interpretation of it
But i like the recorded msg better
Maybe its just the wind
Spooky wind
Stylized in cheering sound by the devs
Voices IN THE WIND
@sly kestrel maybeeeee....
This city's cold and empty
No one's around to judge me..
Is anyone waiting for the ts
No
Everyone
Jays not lol
just look how hectic general sky discussion is
Actually now i have a theory on wats the sky kids that flaps around the realms purpose is
just look how hectic general sky discussion is
@tranquil thicket i moved over here because of it š
yeah it's kinda... a lot lmao
U are literally given a purpose in the intro
Other than saving the elders
General sky discussion u canāt even see ur message after 2 seconds
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?
Ima jus pull and ash and say
The reliving of memories and stuff
WAFO
I have no idea what wafo means
Whenever i send a long message in general sky discussions and no one reacts. I be like ***
Other children could be our friends who tried and failed
but isn't that how you save an elder, kitsuu
oh lol
it was a rhetorical question intended to spark discussion
I saw an old eden vid where our friends names' were written over the sky kids statues
oh you said elder not spirit. F I completely misread that
mm. do you think the elders need saving?
Its wat the cinematic literally shows
As if they tried and failed and we need to save our fallen friends
oh whoa
that would be very cool but also in the beginning would be kinda odd if you didn't have 63 friends
The sky kid gives them a speck of light then the twins proceeds to smack it around for some reason
also would be kinda funky if you went in with your friends š¤
also would be kinda funky if you went in with your friends š¤
@tranquil thicket That's y they removed it
q about the elders. are they alive or dead do you think. because they don't present like spirits do
U reconnect them to the light specifically
but at the same time they clearly exist in some other space
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
And they arenāt dead
But can't join the light
Reconnect seems vague
why do you think that is
Or im just too dum
Canāt even spell dumb right
Ikr
All spirits aren't supposed to exist because they were dead once ? š¤š
Oh i think wat he meant is why theres only few spirits that exists
Well many did but we are jus given a few
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
No doubt there were hundreds or thousands of ppl in the sky world once
basically; the intro
Why were they disconnected in the first place
thats a point of theorizing
When we die we become spirit. They died and are spirits lol> Iām confused what ur asking
@sly kestrel

I saw whale enthusiast hello hahahah
I feel like the big diamond symbol thingy is relevant to this
YES

Heheheheheh whale
rewatch the intro! it helps form a baseline for a theory @frozen pivot

its in the pins




Whale time
What are those blue comet like thingy?
Spirits
Thatās why they jus look like balls
But we already see the spirits flying?!
Those are spirits u havenāt relieved yet
U havenāt relieved those yet
@sly kestrel Nah, I relived every spirit.. Unless u talking about previous travelling spirits
I too have those comet thingy despite reliving all the spirits in the constellations
Or ts
Well in theory, itās old seasonal spirits bc
š
Traveler spirits are old seasonal spirits 
Theres 17 possible ts as of now and will be more when this season ends
But when I relieved more, the less the uncompleted spirit balls appeared so thatās when I realized that maybe these are jus uncompleted spirits
Looks creepy
: )
š
More like halloween face
Anything is creepy with candles
Even the simple gesture of sky kids offering to light a candle
Imagine seeing someone irl approach u with a candle in hand
Iām hoping for the day someone will b like
whY arE ThE candles PlacEd likE this, doEs this meAn spiRIts werE jUs hAVing Fun? maYbe this smiley Means somEthing
BAHAHHAHA
Imagine though... candle placement in shapes of the light symbols
thatāll be interesting to see
Omg according to my calculations
skymii post more on ur art station
This pattern and the consistency of placement
We donāt become spirits
@sly kestrel so what would it be a spirit ? O.o
Its a smiley face
I wish there were candles like valley temple in every temple
Omg, who is the TS? Anyone know?
No
Earmuff dude
Head Pat from Belonging season

heās your fellow emo boi
Guitar, pants or umbrella I want
Its narrowed down to 2 but we dont know which I thinkkk
Rlly? Was it announced already?
who i donāt want to spoil too much for the new players
It has a ukulele so thats cool
Ukelele timeeeee
Yes it out now
Lol
OH
Oh
Which season is that?
U beat me to it
@sand abyss thanks you
The teen with dad issues
How long are TS gonna stay post season?
The heck are we talking about now?
( oh and pffft too lazy to post my arts rn )
Travelling spirits
Mmmm usually around 3-4 days
'Cuz they're bored
Lore wise I think they jus wanna come back and torture kids with their candle prices

It a dance one

Wait I'm trying to find it on the wiki does anyone know what to put in
Lmaoo!! I genuinely thought these fellas just wanna say hi to the children, new and old
crying bc its not boogie
Foxy was like
Itās my 3rd time here, wassup 
thatās boogie kid with his comfy pant!
Skykids: Exist
Ancestor Spirits: Look at them! They're trying so hard! Cute little guys need to learn how to wav--holy crap they just sold their soul to save a Fallen
we should prolly move to general or seasonal chat
wait
maybe lorewise they come back as traveling spirits so we can ascend them to orbit
I think its the dance spirit

Itās not itās the head pat
Mini lore of the day:
You can spot a Darkstone outside the Valley starting places for the racing games that probably opens the doors.
a darkstone? @frosty helm
Why is the two player door in the ice rink tho? And the empty cave?
a darkstone? @frosty helm
@desert sun power diamond
a darkstone? @frosty helm
One of those crystal things you have to light with your candle in order to make stuff happen
We canāt call em darkstones......yet
oh word
In theory they are darkstones like the concepts but, for now itās jus power diamonds
there are many many definitions of darkstone running around my brain hurty
Yea thereās 7 so far
Can I call them PDs?
pd sounds like police department...
SPD HANDS UP 
Do u know.. which actress is Thanos' favorite?
Now it's canon
SPD.. Kneel down and show your winged lights where I can see them

This chat has officially devolved into chaos
may i present something new to the table 
Please
so yall ever notice when you light candles with your candle, theres a halo around it?
the same thing happens when you do a deep call
it is so hard to send videos nowadays
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
Krills are more powerful than a crab or a candle
This also explains why deep calling restores other people's light
yes exactly
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?!!
SUGGEST IT
Yeaa
krills do go blind after attacking you 
In feedback... Rather than wishlist lol
i say its possible
thats my theory on calling and i stand by it 
I agree
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 š its a bust
ok i m back what did i miss
ah cool easter egg stuff
i ll just do schoolwork i guess 
what do yall think about krills eye?
Oof I'm back I was mowing a huge lawn
I think its quite spooky, I wonder why crabs have little spot lights as well? Or is it because they are little buds
Iām not really sure about the blue and red light but to me it seems like itās scanning for children or other sources of light
i think the crabs and the krills are related definitely cause of the same light patterns
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?
well we do see jellies and cosmic creatures when there is vertical motion, like in vault and to the forest diamond press
Someoneās probably already said this but thereās a model of the ark or a similar ship in prairie
Wait really
Ye
Iām stupid then I guess
Oh cool!
Never seen it
Itās actually in the wave emote cutscene
Thatās.....what I said š
yeah they were like putting on the bell tower or something while some random spirit came over and said henlo
Cool
Sorry I didnt see before I posted it my bad oof
i feel like whenever seasonal spirits are added, they match the place they get added to
or thats wats actually happening
I think that's kind of the point
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
i have found out that a krills hjonk has the same properties as a skykids hjonk
wait do krills even hjyƶnk
yup
Whales do too
Actually almost every creature in sky does a honk
Except the fish of course
They jus swim
š
well a krills roar activates the halo around candles
Same think honestly
They all have this concept of a honk but jus....different sounds ya kno
found that out using the candle clusters
When I say honk Iām talking about this



šļø

same
oh i forgot about the krill hjyƶnk
sry i haven t logged on in a week
jay did you see my discovery earlier or
no
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
Ye
sigh
Thas what I was talkin about earlier and yea it didnāt work
Send it through photos app
hmmmmmmmmmm well yes?
cause it recharges capes too
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
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 š
hehe its okay š
Vroom vroom
but if its a burst of light, where does the sound come from
and how do the skykids mimic the sounds of animals?
The key to answering super fast is.....using a computer š
i hAVe to KnOw
it s a photon with mass so it moves the air around it
The default one I think it was their natural āvoiceā
they immitate everything they see basically
and how do the skykids mimic the sounds of animals?
@minor light they mimic expression from spirits too
hMM
So it's not surprising
We need krill call
no that was a good genuine question 
Or emotes
:D
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
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?
yea, when a krill roars it does the

Maybe
I think their call isnāt a burst of light but jus an....outburst of
Actually idk
Iāll add it to the dev q list
an outburst of the inner rage of wanting to hug a skykid bug not actually being able to
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
ooh yeah, but they hjyonk before they charge
We dunno for sure if itās half darkstone
Although the second material is unknown, there are still theories that the power diamond IS darkstone
Ah yes, it could be just darkstone. But used to trap the flame inside
maybe its an already activated power diamond, hence why its yellow
Even tho the power diamond theory is one of my most evident ones, itās still a mystery to me what the second material is
and darkness when kids get near them
I canāt even use the word darkstone yet, I need mo proof
Even tho the power diamond theory is one of my most evident ones, itās still a mystery to me what the second material is
@sly kestrel the yellow one is the flame/light balls in isle, no?
No
wait
Nonono thatās way different
But thatās a new theory, I might look into that
Laughing spirit memory shows them catching lights with butterfly net, maybe this is the falling lights that ancestors used
No thatās different
the fire orbs in isle are from lightseekers so not related i think
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 itās harder to explain than I thought
But I highly doubt butterflies are artificial
so........ youre saying symbolism?
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
Iām still looking into it but this is the general idea I had
Maybe this is about "fire creating everything" symbolism?
@hushed steeple megabirb alert
love how nobody at all knows what isle grandpa is doing
i have my theories
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 thereās flaws so idk for sure
Big boi question
Why were they put in pots in the first place?
shipment?
oh

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
And I got pinged too, itās from the new beta update thingy
Off topic but
BETA INVITES ARE COMING EVERYONEEEE
spoil it and ill catapult you into a krill
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? š¤
prairie spirit memories didnt happen before the creation of power diamonds then
They continued it
iirc the boats in prairie have diamonds on them
So the diamond power is like the industrial revolution in sky?
A brand new energy source to boats
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
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
boats are literally in every realm. i see them more like cars
They may have reached all of em at some point
What if vault is power diamond storage š®
So the diamond power is like the industrial revolution in sky?
@jade river yes
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
Could be. I'm sure back then we don't need wings to reach the temple.
@hushed steeple
@sly kestrel i believe it was a storage room for diamonds before the eden storm
Itās 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 didnāt store them in there. Before or after eden, they never built vault to hold the power diamonds
I hope thereās a season in vault where we get to look at some of the information stored there
Skykids must learn
Skykids must learn
Skykids must learn
um learn what exactly
@that.cambion.nerd#1202 everything
wow discord really doesn t want me to be pinged lol
Wooosh
nyoom
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
Doesnāt 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 š
"dear diary..."
Sealed butterfly jars grow lil dark plants on them (first seen in prairie cave workshop but not burnable there)ā maybe the dark plants themselves are what Forest Aunt uses; theyāre a raw component, not a byproduct?
...feed light creatures to them like venus flytraps?
Hence trapped mantas
š®
Omg š„ŗ
That's sad
If thatās the case maybe the plants proved invasive and escaped the pot containers into more of the realms
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
Imagine mining crabs with a pickaxe
We need pickaxes in the game
And to make a tower of crƦbs
Tbh, this may seem like old news but, do we know what the King looked like? If so, where?
Yeah that bit I know, I just wondered what he looked like.
yeah the links take you to images
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.
Oh so it's just a feather.
i mean judging by the scale it s larger than a planet
What if.. the feather though.
Is only how much it could fit into the reality Sky is in?

4th dimensional physics has entered the chat
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?
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
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.
if i recall correctly the vault was built after the wasteland war
Suddenly envisioning Eden King singing some version of āLet It Goā as red diamond kersplodes all around him
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.
they exist in a separate plain of existence, and iirc there s a timeline that says that the vault was built later

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.
it is confirmed that the elders knew eachother before they fell
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.
Hm so no timeslip theories about Valley Twins growing up to be Forest/Wasteland and then Vault/Isle
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.

We know butterflies were sent from Prairie to Forest tho that doesnāt directly imply any connect btw the elders
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

Hm actually would thereāve been a more practical conduit btw Prairie/Forest tempkes than the route we take? Like underground or overcloud?
Or were the Forest butterflies all sourced from Sunny caves?
Probably.
Maybe Butterfly Dad/Mom helped bring butterflies into the main bit of the forest.
Butterflies live in main Sunny, but theyāre just flyin round
Maybe butterflies were like the cows of Sky?!
So you need pros to herd butterflies into areas.
And the full body of the Megabird is bigger than a galaxy or something
@drifting heart the megabird isnāt a physical ...mega bird, itās more of a high entity of light that rules over everything. But this is all a concept we still arenāt sure if sheās in game or not
We know butterflies were sent from Prairie to Forest tho that doesnāt 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
jay is back to spew forth the great knowledge that is lore
Oh hey welcome to the discussion Jay.
You missed the theory of Wasteland Dad and Vault Mom being lovey dovey.
Read it all
Usually I jus skip it but this time
I read it all 
And since they knew each other before they fell and the sky kingdom is YEARSSSS old, I wonāt 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 thatās why they are so close and itās as if they are each otherās halves. But then again I wondered hm, lovers could prolly be possible too since they have no parents so technically thereās no proof that they are brother and sister.
Unless....there was an original valley elder that died but had 2 kids
But thatās a bit of a stretch š

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.
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
True.
And timeline wise, itās a realllllyy really long time
Can u handle ur wife for 10,000 years
Hm?
Ahhh I forgot which livestream or note but I remember hearing vault and forest elder are related
Ugh lemme find it holup
Like as in siblings?
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
Man Jay is delving deep
Maybe.. you're strengthening the bond between your friends? Allowing their Flame to grow and thrive.
in that case is friendship a form of fire

and thats why you offer a candle in order to become friends
haha
where?
Over there
I was jus wondering
But hey Tennessee
Wait no
Tallahassee
I found it
But
All I have to say is
WAFO
Wafo?
Yes
Also imma say this a million times but just say Talla. Full name is a time waster
What's WAFO?
š§
waffle?
Ah
Also just to clarify something I found.. odd.
Forest Mom is a blacksmith right?
It looks to be, yea
Hm sort of
But I believe it was sort of a representation that they forged power diamonds
Then why doesn't she wear the proper blacksmithing attire?
I think that she was more of the leader of that guild or something
Like.. gloves or something
She be touching hot hot power diamonds with her bare hands
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 š§
ngl she do be kinda hot tho
True, she could be like Garnet.
Oh u shouldāve seen her concept art
Where swimming in molten lava would be the equivalent of an ice bath to her.
Also

Where's this concept art?
no itās too dangerous
But anyways, the way she showed how she made the diamond....I donāt think itās actually how they were made in the real world
And I say real world bc the elder cutscenes take place somewhere beyond space and time
But there would still have to be some heat involved.
You can't forge without heat
And each elder cutscene is more of a symbolic cutscene, itās not jus a bunch of random events
What if in the sky world, heat doesnāt harm
Maybe.
.. now I'm imagining Forest mom chilling in a pool of lava being like "This is fine."
Also, thereās a lot more too it than that
The word forging and blacksmith doesnāt rlly fit to how they were actually made
..true.
Maybe it's a completely different smithing but the drawings look like blacksmithing.
Cause there is the anvil and hammer.
Not.. really.
I sorta have a theory where they're made with intense amount of energy involved.
So that's why the pots erupted like that.
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
They became reliant on the technology.
The day they were like
Ugh forget natural light, thats boringggg
Why canāt we jus MAKE POWER
By the way, these diamonds were also said to be the downfall of the civilization
btw if you get the chance tho, dm me that forest Elder concept art you call "dangerous"
Sort of like.. nuclear reactors?
To take this even further, it may be involved with the statement āif only they had listenedā
How they're really good at producing energy but are extremely volatile.
Jus so u kno I got an f in speech and advanced English so can u tell me what volatile means š
Basically.
High high chance of blowing up.
Boom explosions, high chance of destruction.
Well in theory, the diamond at eden is a huge power diamond
A final product of āhumanā 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
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

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
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 
Someone start making kids for the elders.
tallahasse dm me the specs and i ll draw up some concepts for you
Specs? Like what kind?
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
Ah.
Well, maybe when I have some time 
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?
i mean he was trying to kill you in eden
Remember, he may look evil in our eyes.
bruh you live in pdt too 
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.
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
But evil is always subject to the eyes of whom who view it.
And based on everything Iāve seen, it wasnāt jus darkness that corrupted his heart
Whether it's true evil, or "his actions are evil but his intentions were just."
He always had greed and power lust from the beginning
Iāve seen no concept of the king being a decent person
Wasn't there a prince as well?
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.

i want to snep too
ooooo same person?
Yea
spill de tea
But thatās a different concept
oh concept lol
Ye
Every reference of the king is a concept idea so mine as well jus tell you š
Youāve read this timeline before actually, in our little crab chat
The prince was someone who stayed by the megabirdās 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
omg i forgot about crab chat lol
Ye
i don t remember that lol i ll have to look again
Ok so confetti spirit
she chocked on a flower
This is why confetti has a warning label
oh yeah that time line i remember that now
thats the truth
Oof

Flowers looKin yummy rn then
faceplants into flowers
Y u m
She was collecting flowers
The concept was that each spirit was supposed to bring something to the dinner table
we're talking about confettu emote spirit lol
The one in sunny forest
The concept was that each spirit was supposed to bring something to the dinner table
@sly kestrel so she brought flowers?
Thatās exactly what Iām talking about
Ohhhh
The confetti spirit was collecting flowers
in daylight prarie
thats smart
but how did she die-
Iām still confused why her emote is confetti, but sheās a kid collected flowers is all I know
These theories are kinda dark and Iām living for that
maybe she sucked in too much pollens
but how did she die-
chocked on a flower obv
Nice
:3
Flower choker
did she get carried away and fall to her death because she wanted more flowers
Donāt even kno what to say anymore
maybe she fell into the clouds
greed and death wow
imagine having a flower choker in sky
do sky kids have necks tho
Idk maybe look at ur skykid
She lost track of time while picking flowers and died of starvation
maybe she fell into the clouds
@livid valley but doesnt the cloud recharges her cape energy, theoretically
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
yes shes not a sky kid
Ok I thought u guys were joking at first but idek anymore
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
He didnāt die alone, he got out of the door obviously
bruh-
what about the 8 player door spirit
S A W TRAP
which one was that again
š
i havent done that much research
This convo kinda made me laugh Ngl
crying spirit: mourning the death of her friends
skykids: haha skykid go cry
Welp, time to sleep in 3 languages
This convo kinda made me laugh Ngl
@sly kestrel good
Mhm
Welp, time to sleep in 3 languages
sleeps in incoherent babbling
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 weāre shadows of the pure wing lights
Seems a bit familiar huh
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
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
I wouldn't trust him
@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
I mean... What's that huge stone thingy @sly kestrel mentioned
@barren bloom Prairie temple. picture below :

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

@hushed steeple
I remember someone says that that place is from old beta@sky and that twinkles things is meditation spotš¤
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 youāre determined enough
the murals you see when you first start the game (aka the intro) is there 
and yeah amio* we cant go there anymore because theres a windwall blocking us from going to that island in wasteland
Yes so table will help?
but the meditation spot doesnt do anything so its nothing
no
i mean u can try but good luck 
I wanna see those island
I was looking through this channel, and I had a thought. Maybe this could be the level 150 wing design?

@sly kestrel See what you can do with this. https://imgur.com/a/9T4PmQC
dead end?
means that it was a leftover seasonal spirit, next time try asking in #questions-and-help 
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.
@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.
My guess is that the forces of darkness invaded, e.g. the dark dragons, and turned the realm into a wasteland
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
Aye.
we judge this based on... the two different shields
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.
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?
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.
Okay
That makes sense.
The result, no one knows.
Diamonds as source of power
Right.
The discord would have spread darkness across the realm, corrupting it fundamentally
Vs light being free and not using it as a source of power.
Well Vault has damages it seems like they succeeded in infiltrating it
How so?
Vault is basically prepping you for eden.
If you look somewhere back, there are some points for this.
Oh, and jay is here.
Want me to correct you or do u wanna freestyle
Yeah correct me
Also, look through this when you're finished.
https://imgur.com/a/9T4PmQC
I mean technically thereās no right or wrong answer, so u can keep going if u want
Nah, I want to know what I'm theory wise wrong about
Hmm I guess I really have to back read insanely as I can't avoid asking something already discussed here.
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
How can it be training for Eden though?
Well, hereās mine
They werenāt 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 Iām 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 donāt 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
Yeah seems about accurate
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 ābrutalityā of eden
But why was the wasteland elder shown protecting the gate?
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 ābrutalityā of eden
@sly kestrel Makes sense
What we see in the elder cutscenes is more symbolic and metaphorical other than a clear picture
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
midlife crisis, also the war stated above
That makes so much sense
I said a lot of things, which makes sense?
@sly kestrel Look through this, see if you can get anything out of the pictures.
https://imgur.com/a/9T4PmQC
I've read about why there is no Elder of Eden shown in game and was discussed here, it was the "King"
yeah that was a scrapped concept but there is evidence that the king did exist
along with the prince
He was apparently taken out of the game but some of us still theorize that he exists
^
midlife crisis, also the war stated above
@that.cambion.nerd#1202 Yeah this theory works with the symbolism of the realm
*symbolism
Read the pinned posts and it's really unlikely they put a new realm as each realm represents/symbolises the stages of life
Hereās 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
Eden mural
how many people are at the bottom i can t see
if not a king then there was definitely some sort of ruler
It doesnāt matter
Ash said that the squiggly lines at the ppl jus represented that there were āmanyā
It couldāve been hundreds
Hey jay check this out
https://i.imgur.com/lnw3WfO.jpg
Ahh those are the old lightseeker concepts
So is Eden an actual realm or another dream or something?
Eden is a realm
Full on real
And thatās an older concept
It seems like they always stuck with the idea of the forest elder making that
Was Eden a happy place before or it is already a death place when it was created?
Well it once thrived but deep inside their hearts they were evil
For whoever was talking about the shields
https://i.imgur.com/gwbLqrn.jpg
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
Kinda like......a good looking kingdom but with bad people
Thatās what eden was
And then it went boom š„
Eden is seriously deeply messed up tho
Cuz it went boom
probably because it was ground zero for the boom
And krill got there, most likely cuz of the explosion and darkness grew there
In orbit why is there structures being destroyed on the way to "space/heaven"
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
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
āDarkness 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 āhumanā world
Nope
It's clear tho that the darkness was directly related to the fact that the stars were no longer "united"
^ i agree, it shows that they disconnected from something
Quite a realization we are only on the aftermath.
right!
Without darkness, there is no light.
Backstory lore is pretty cool but when we go al the way to the beginning, thereās nothing I can speculate on. This is where I listen to ash and jus say
WAFO
^ 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
@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.
@round musk So our role is to bring back people by connecting and uniting each other (?)
Go ahead amio
Guys I've a question about krills
@hushed steeple Go ahead
@round musk So our role is to bring back people by connecting and uniting each other (?)
@abstract crypt Exactly. I think that's the basic idea of the game
Well on my point of view krills are more like machine type other than any living creatures
Krills are Whales who failed to succeed to ascend in orbit
The Whale does ascend in orbit
i can see the machine krill theory
The sounds plus the blue light
its based on sounds and movements
Well I think they were tryna put a lil similarity to the guardians at journey but keep going
Dark plants are clearly alive though. I think it's safe to assume all dark creatures are similar types of things to light creatures.
I saw Whales in:
- Transition fom Valley to Golden Wasteland
- Rainless section in Hidden Forest
- In Orbit
Ah yes got it jay
I know no theory is accurate
And itās not āwhalesā Iām pretty sure itās jus one whale but itās moving
The last of its kind š
Are whales light creatures or dark creatures? You get hurt if you touch it in orbit
^ ive theorized on that actually
Well
cant say for sure
Time to explain again
I think light creatures
Because of the graveyard
Some whales were killed to produce diamonds
I'm not sure tho
Some whales were killed to produce diamonds
@hushed steeple Oof now I'm mad to Diamond people
Hereās the idea, I think they are neutral
Bc we donāt 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 arenāt sure that they used them for diamonds
So if a creature had bones or a physical body, itās neutral
Wait jay ghost mantas have bones

Think to urself, do mantas have ribs popping out, do they have skulls that look like a turtle
They probably just copy and pasted the skeletons from the graveyard, without bothering to change it to fit the spirit whales
idk that one still doesnt sit right with me, they wouldnt put a manta there for nothing imo
Do the Skykids grow to be an adult? To become like those spirits we relieve or are they an another race?
And since the whale has a physical body it can harm you, hereās why
We all kno that if we hit something hard rlly fast, we lose light, and the whale is physical so if itās 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 doesnāt necessarily mean the whale is dark
The spirits are a different race then us
Oh
Why do they refer to them as our ancestors, then?
Ancestors don't have to be linked genetically.
Ancestors could be a formal word for like "teacher" or "wiseman"
Also hereās a different way of looking at the whale hurting you in eden
Letās 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 Iām not jus going by speculation
i wont say that whales are dark or light so i can get behind the neutral theory
Whatever the Whale is it's my favourite creature it's cute like a flying giant kind worm
^^^^ 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
no, krill are superior 
lies
Krills are cursed prawns
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?
Krill noice
Possibly for wasteland diamond production but as I said earlier Iām still not too sure
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
Also krill can take light from us cuz they are simply dark creatures who wanna kill us
