[sly kestrel]

That’s actually forest and it’s showing where these lights came from

And those are most likely the spirits from the lightseekers, theoretically, they found these cool lights, shared them with the scholars and they made them into new lights. Elements of power

[urban sparrow]

Oop , worked out how to add pictures! Yes, that's where the lights came from. And maybe the spirits?

[sly kestrel]

This is when the ark was built and they decided to use these new lights for a journey towards prosperity

[pulsar nova]

hmm yes

also does anyone know what the balls of light in isle do?

idk if its just a coincidence but two of the lamps in the small cave glow brighter and give off light faster than the other lamps

[sly kestrel]

They don’t do anything game mechanic wise

But

Since it’s from the lightseeker season

And the lightseeker season has a connection to the enchantment season

It could be possible that the tiny light boat in isle could be connected to the ark

Like a hidden design or early concept or sumtin

[pulsar nova]

i need to go now, tahnks for the lovely conversation!

[urban sparrow]

On a recent candle run, I've spotted this drawing in the forgotten ark crab cave:

[upbeat juniper]

So i joined the beta and saw the trailer from start of the again

[sly kestrel]

There’s a lot more than that Sonya

[upbeat juniper]

In trailer it said if only they have listened

[sly kestrel]

We don’t have a confirmed story yet

[upbeat juniper]

They would have listened to what? To whom?

[sly kestrel]

Oh we have the intro pinned and memorized already mel, don’t worry

We still don’t have anything confirmed on that statement yet

[upbeat juniper]

This game will kill me from curiosity

[urban sparrow]

Or will it...krill you?

🤭

[upbeat juniper]

Yeah

[sly kestrel]

This chat is mainly for theories, confirmed stuff is something barely have

[upbeat juniper]

It would

[sly kestrel]

[urban sparrow]

Sorry XD bad puns aside. The drawing in the crab cave, it seems to show them using the large jars to...get water in the cave?

[sly kestrel]

Not in the cave

It’s outside

The story happens outside

[upbeat juniper]

For farming?

[sly kestrel]

And tbh I don’t have much of a story in my head rn, but one thing I can speculate on is the fact that the environment was once rich with mantas and butterflies as shown in the murals

[urban sparrow]

Ah, yes, because of the clouds.

[sly kestrel]

But as we seen the krill actually.....u kno kill a manta
It was only safe to assume that overtime, krills kept hunting mantas one by one until they were all gone

[upbeat juniper]

True

[sly kestrel]

Plus we have seen about 6 confirmed krill in wasteland so far

[urban sparrow]

Well...there are still rays in prairie....i get the impression that's where they collected the lights.

[sly kestrel]

Hm?

[urban sparrow]

Maybe the wastland was already a wastleland when they set sail in the ark?

Is that possible?

[sly kestrel]

Maybe, and maybe they were planning on curing wasteland

Yk....before they crashed

[urban sparrow]

Yeah...

[upbeat juniper]

I don't think their goal was wasteland

[sly kestrel]

What I do kno for sure is that they were on a quest to seek prosperity or something in those words

[upbeat juniper]

I think they were going to eden

[sly kestrel]

They could’ve been planning on going anywhere

And....that’s possible but

Ehh I kinda doubt it

But since we dunno for sure, ur free to theorize

But where they were headed doesn’t rlly matter tbh, what’s important is that they were seeking prosperity and they could’ve been on a journey anywhere. The point is that this never happened and they crashed. Even if there was a debate on whether they were going to eden or wasteland, it wouldn’t rlly matter

[upbeat juniper]

The weird thing is all the releams are a big cloud from low to high but the upper we the darker it gets

What if the corruption wasn't something from outside but started from inside?

[sly kestrel]

Ur saying clouds is apart of corruption?

[upbeat juniper]

No

I mean the upper you go the closer you are to sun right?

[sly kestrel]

....we aren’t rlly going higher besides the mountain and eden

[upbeat juniper]

It should be brighter

[sly kestrel]

It’s not rlly a sun actually

The sky world is very different from the real world

[upbeat juniper]

shrug

[sly kestrel]

May not seem like it

But I feel like ash is lurking here

👀

.....if u are I jus wanna say hiiii

[mellow sable]

so uh, what exactly did the orange light do?

it just showed like

fireworks

the shop was after the spirits left so it's not that

[sly kestrel]

Maybe u should look inside the ark

[mellow sable]

it does

haha

[sly kestrel]

And wdym, the shops appeared bc of the orange light

Not Bc the spirits left

[mellow sable]

I think it was mainly like "HEY GUYS WAKE UP THE KIDS BROUGHT ALL THE LIGHTS BACK"

[sly kestrel]

Also I’m jus as confused as u are and to be completely honesty with you

I gave up all my theories on enchantment

I’m jus making up my own stories at this point jus so I can have closure or satisfaction

[mellow sable]

the season end flag on the constellation is still blinking for some reason though

oh and also

the middle shop in the arc is all the lights

is that where they were stored?

the ark spirits are merchants

[marsh isle]

I assume so

[mellow sable]

so why did the scholars entrust them with such powerful stuff

[sly kestrel]

Ark*

And the spirits

ARE the scholars

[desert sun]

them being scholars could explain the presence of the vault like things in the shops

[sly kestrel]

Even tho I’ve tested out the orange light in beta a while ago....u guys kinda reminded me how disappointed I got when I first saw the ending cutscene

Ig I jus had high expectations, I should rlly lower them and start making my own stories

[desert sun]

what DID you expect

[supple totem]

Sorry but are stars we collect the people of sky that once lived and died. Unlike spirits they have no good memories so they just wanted to become useful in some way ?

[desert sun]

we dont know what or who stars are exactly

ill... start calling them winged light bc the usage of the word star is confusing

[supple totem]

To be they seem to have a very sad story idk why I feel sad everytime I collect them

[sly kestrel]

They are imprints from the child of light

[supple totem]

Like they are waiting for someone or something just waited the died. Until they became the light to help us

Just look at them stare at the sky when we collect them

So sad T-T

[sly kestrel]

what DID you expect
@desert sun I expected a little closure and at least a little bit of explanation or some kind of lore

I loved this season overall but....idk sometimes I wish they would jus give us something instead of making us figure everything out. No matter how much I speculate, it jus sucks that they will never give us any confirmed closure on the story of the ark. I have my theories but....I wanna hear something confirmed at least once 😕

Haha I guess I accidentally got off topic

Well

Back to lore talk ig

[desert sun]

thats on topic doe

i understand too

the vaugeness of it all is a bit much

[supple totem]

The feeling us different isn't it? When you find something when you know is there and when yi suddenly find something that you didn't know

So yeah that's the excitement I guess hehehe I smile everytime I find stars without knowing it was there.

[sly kestrel]

Well, not jus the ark tho
To me, it rlly does suck that they depend on us to jus guess a story but.....I’m jus so bothered by the fact that I will always look at my theories and say “....none of this is confirmed, none of it ever will be 😔”

[supple totem]

Awww

[sly kestrel]

Why do I feel that lore channel is gloomy? Is it the rain?
@hushed steeple my bad 😂

It’s jus.....idk today reminded me of the disappointment I had when I first experienced this in beta

But ill try not to give up

[sly kestrel]

Ikr!!

[barren bloom]

It makes sense

[sly kestrel]

The murals on the ark sortnif adds to it as well

[shrewd trout]

Why does it appear like this?

[fading inlet]

is a bug indeed

[nova tiger]

The ? in the seasonal constellation is supposed to activate the end-of-season cutscene once you’ve completed all the ark light quests. However, the function of using the ? to watch the cutscene seems to be bugged right now and isn’t working correctly. Please report this bug and wait for a fix.

[shrewd trout]

Boop Sorry I didn't know, bc I'm new 😔

Thank you :+1:

[fading bear]

What was The Season Of Lightseekers about?

I joined the game during season of rythm

[green tartan]

I wanna ask tho
In the ark there’s a lone krill flying above the gateway to the ark
Does it have a connection with the krill on those paintings on the boat

[hollow pier]

Someone's pointed out before in beta that the shop with the Vault lanterns summons things (rainbows, tables, fireworks), but it's also worth pointing out that the shop with the 6 lights we collected gives us light related spells (glow, antigravity, fast recharge)

like the lights together are ingredients to make things light boosting things with

as a note, I'm not sure if Hage Jiisama edited the doc since, the very bottom info on the doc is his speculation
@cold steppe
That’s Hage’s speculation on things
@sly kestrel
I have made things more explicitly clear in my doc that whatever the things piercing the ship are I'm making an observation and not confirming the things there as canon

[pearl void]

Ouyeah! Prediction came true! now we able to buy spells

Now I'm hype for next season! Next lore to unravel!

[sweet dirge]

Could've liked a tall spell tho

[hollow pier]

I imagine they'll add tall spells some day

[hushed steeple]

Wait u can buy spells? Where?

[hidden bone]

u can buy them off spirits or in the forgotten ark if u have the orange light

[hushed steeple]

Cooolcoolcool

[zinc ivy]

Can anyone tell me where I can find today's travel spirit?

[topaz bloom]

The underground caverns in the hidden forest

[zinc ivy]

Thx

[last bridge]

Aww the forgotten ark is lovely ||with so many purchasable spells in it||

[cobalt palm]

It seems we now, with the Orange light, have the full key for how spirits create spells and craft different magic from light, and possibly to understand the murals more thoroughly.

[pearl void]

How to make spell

A furnace to melt the light creatures 🤭

And store it nicely in a jar by this sleepy emote spirit

[naive torrent]

wow

[heady sinew]

Why did I believe we were gonna restore a Krill

[nimble blaze]

So the spirits in the ark had the knowledge to extract the different colors of the light spectrum and the different corresponding colors were the spells. The forbidden ark spirits were ambushed by a krill while they're on there way to deliver the spells somewhere. Maybe this is how they change the colors or the cape?

[heady sinew]

Even tho I’ve tested out the orange light in beta a while ago....u guys kinda reminded me how disappointed I got when I first saw the ending cutscene
@sly kestrel You're not alone. Ending cutscene is gorgeous but for real I thought the fire orb was gonna restore something else lmao A Krill for example

[tranquil thicket]

god if it had restored a krill to attack us and return it to a dark wasteland that would have been so sad lmao

i also thought though that with the final light there would be like gates opening somewhere and krill would flood in

not sure if it goes here exactly, but while the idea of a family of spirits is cute, it also means they all died together at the same time. so what do you think happened to them? (the family in belonging)

[swift kindle]

They seemed to have a big meal at the end so maybe food poisoning

[pulsar nova]

Dehydration maybe

There’s barely any proper water sources

[pearl void]

I was hoping the orange or fire orb will bring the spirits alive and stay to sell the spells

But it's fine either way because now i can buy resize potion

[cobalt palm]

Question for speculation:
Do we buy the spells for the candles, or do we use the light of those candles to forge the spell?
The help text indicates the latter

[barren bloom]

I was hoping the orange or fire orb will bring the spirits alive and stay to sell the spells
@pearl void but they gonna b lonly 🥺

[limpid pewter]

[vague plover]

I would say you would be forging the spell with the candles, I'm pretty sure that's what it said when I picked up my rainbow spells

Sorry I'm late but I'd like to say that at least

[lavish peak]

Where do you find the rainbow spells?

[zinc slate]

Left side of the ship, below it there's a stall right there and u can click the question mark button........ I guess.

[abstract crypt]

The items available at shop change every reset right?

[cobalt palm]

BTW anyone else notice the sub text change?
"an enchantment pearl in the golden wasteland"

[desert sun]

enchanted pearl

i think its just....... a metaphor?

or smthn else

[round musk]

Random question: what does the wall art in isle of dawn indicate about the society there? What are the starlike things the elder is returning to the sky?

[hidden dagger]

Maybe the World of Sky was a civilization that died

[verbal swift]

Maybe the World of Sky was a civilization that died
@hidden dagger that's a very possible theory

It may also explain why there are spirits scattered around in the first place

They got....

[hidden dagger]

Hm

[verbal swift]

Killed!

[hidden dagger]

And the runes on Isle, Forest and Ark

[verbal swift]

Krilled

[hidden dagger]

But how could they have died?

[verbal swift]

I have no idea

[hidden dagger]

Wait

I think i got a theory

Eye of Eden was like the protector or something that protected everything

[verbal swift]

Perhaps by the things that got the krills

[hidden dagger]

But then it got corrupted

[verbal swift]

But by who?

[hidden dagger]

Hm...

[verbal swift]

Or should I say what

[hidden dagger]

Maybe there was another world

Of Krills and cræbs

[verbal swift]

Perhaps...

And they reached Sky

[hidden dagger]

And they destroyed or corrupted Eden

[acoustic inlet]

BTW anyone else notice the sub text change?
"an enchantment pearl in the golden wasteland"
@cobalt palm there was a question before... what was covered in the sand... now it's the answer...

[hidden dagger]

Hm

[verbal swift]

True

[hidden dagger]

And the Elders were the protectors

Specially the Vault Elder

Who protected the entrance to Eden

[verbal swift]

Now let's talk about where did the world of sky even come from. Is it the heaven of the game's universe. Lol the Devs need to give us a story

[hidden dagger]

Ye

[verbal swift]

And where did the children of light come from?

[hidden dagger]

It might be some kind of heaven

O

[unborn fog]

interesting of you to say the vault elder protected the entrance of eden

[hidden dagger]

Wait

[unborn fog]

devs did in a scrapped timeline

[hidden dagger]

I got a idea of the Children of light

[cobalt palm]

Who is the narrator in the intro should solve some of these

[verbal swift]

I got a idea of the Children of light
@hidden dagger ANGELS

[hidden dagger]

Maybe they were like the energy or "life" on Eden

Or angels

[karmic lodge]

I assumed that the children of light are just the souls of the kids in eden and eden is a type of hell

[unborn fog]

not angels, they were created by the megabird according to an old timeline

eden used to be a palace

[hidden dagger]

As we see their dead bodys on the last section of eden

Ye

Like

[unborn fog]

hmmm you all know about the power diamond theory and the battlefield civil war?

[karmic lodge]

nope

[verbal swift]

I guess they tried to defend eden before

[hidden dagger]

Their souls are the winged lights, and their bodys are on Eden awaiting for someone to give them back their souls

To finally go to heaven (orbit)

[verbal swift]

But why are there sky children there? (Obviously to get ascended candles)

[unborn fog]

okay if most of you don t know about those theories i can explain they clear a lot of things up

[verbal swift]

But the candles are only to change the look

[hidden dagger]

Wait

Ascended Candles may be their gifts to save them

And ascended candles

[karmic lodge]

eden's a purgatory if I had to put a name to it
it may have used to be a grand place but now its just a trap

[hidden dagger]

Could be the energy on eden

[unborn fog]

it s the energy from the failed power diamond prototype and the king s wrath

[hidden dagger]

Wait up

King?

[verbal swift]

What king?

[unborn fog]

oh you don t know?

[verbal swift]

nope

[hidden dagger]

Nop

[unborn fog]

lol i got a small thing to explain let me find it

[verbal swift]

Kk

[hidden dagger]

Alsi

Also*

The only ones alive

Should be us (sky kids)

And the spirits of the season

[zinc arrow]

king was the "eden elder"

[hidden dagger]

Like

Granny

[unborn fog]

QUIZ YOU RE HERE

[zinc arrow]

🤪

[unborn fog]

i m trying to find jay s thing about power diamond and the battlefield

[zinc arrow]

yes hi am i famous now? :*0

[unborn fog]

and the timeline

[zinc arrow]

OH

[verbal swift]

I guess that we save the spirits because whoever did this to them go them trapped in corrupted bodies instead of them going to heaven I think. And we sky kids save them.

[hidden dagger]

We know Granny is alive, because on the final custcene she doesnt ascend to "heaven"

But the other spirits do

[verbal swift]

Interesting

PLOT TWIST: GRANNY IS EVIL AND SHE CONTROLS EDEN AND KEEOS THE KRILL AND CRABS AND THERE WILL BE AN EVENT WHERE 100 SKY KIDS WILL FIGHT

ok sorry

[hidden dagger]

LMAO

[verbal swift]

I wish I could know what the Devs are working on right now

[unborn fog]

dangit it s over 2000 characters

i ll send it over 3 messages

[verbal swift]

Lol

[hidden dagger]

PLOT TWIST: GRANNY IS EVIL AND SHE CONTROLS EDEN AND KEEOS THE KRILL AND CRABS AND THERE WILL BE AN EVENT WHERE 100 SKY KIDS WILL FIGHT
@verbal swift Infinity War in a nutshell

[unborn fog]

So this is about the theory of diamond production and the purpose of flying boats. Boats are mainly for the use of carrying pots of light. You can see these pots of light being made at prairie and I say pots of light because there are butterflies put inside them. In the wave emote cutscene, u can actually see one of the flying boats carrying pots of light.
These pots are being shipped to forest to make power diamonds, they combine the light with organic material at forest and use a diamond press to combine them into an artificial Star, or what we call “power diamond”. You can actually see the concept of this by looking at the forest temple door mural. To add even more details, right when u enter forest the text on the bottom says to “find the source of an ancient power”. The pic below is another way of looking how power diamonds are made and how forest built them. This diamond press in the picture is also seen at the golden wasteland, and there’s a krill flying around it. It may be broken down but it is noticeable that it is the same factory. Also the shipwreck at wasteland is seen to be carrying certain pieces of this diamond press, it goes to the top and sides. Now I know there’s boats everywhere and not all of them are carrying pots of light, so I jus assume they are for transportation since the people on the ground can’t fly naturally

Bc of the fact that the narrator said “if only they had listened” and the mass production of evil artificial power I think there were rebellions made attempting to stop this before it gets out of hand. These diamonds of power were jus evil and in the battlefield there are circular shields that had the natural light symbol on it opposing to the diamond symbol. This gives a motive as to why they fought

So the diamond symbol connects to wasteland’s side in many ways, first of all, the first krill area seems to be almost identical to the forest temple, indicating they used the same architecture. And the masks on the wasteland spirits have diamond symbols, just like the forehead plate on teth. Also, the diamond symbol is seen on 2 castles in wasteland that look like the one on the shields. Diamond shaped symbols were said to represent use of technology and to be an artificial symbol unlike the flowing smooth feel of creatures and nature. I got that from the concept arts but anyways, forest is known for their use of industry and their production of the power diamonds. Now regarding the sun symbol, there is a building in eden

here

all from jay

did everyone leave

[verbal swift]

Aaaaand we have a master theorist

We're reading

Lol

[unborn fog]

that s all from jay lol

[verbal swift]

Oh k

[hidden dagger]

Oo

[verbal swift]

Oo

[unborn fog]

but there s a lot more evidence in sky that leads to this theory

[hidden dagger]

That explains the ascending platform on Vault

And the Doors and "library"

[verbal swift]

Vault of knowledge huhhh? A huge diamond thing that creates constellations and leads to eden

[unborn fog]

vault is theorized to actually be within the mountain of eden with the summit of vault being the summit of eden

[verbal swift]

That would kinda make sense

[hidden dagger]

but it doesnt explain the "corruption"

[unborn fog]

alright i ll be eating lunch then i ll be in qnh so ping me for anything

[verbal swift]

Also there's a eden door at home. And let's not forget that home is in the middle of an ocean. So we may be in Earth?????????

[hidden dagger]

Hm

M a y b e

[verbal swift]

If that's tru an apocalypse must have happened on earth and it got flooded somehow

And maybe this island called home and the only thing tall enough to stay

[hidden dagger]

Home might be where we are "born"

[verbal swift]

And sky kids existed to save lost spirits and are teleported to places where spirits can be saved. They also have an easy access to Eden maybe to be able to save it

[hidden dagger]

The CoL might be the Fallen Sky kids that werent able to save the spirits

[verbal swift]

that may be true

[hidden dagger]

Because after dying, when they "revive" they have a cape

[verbal swift]

Sky kids only have the purpose so save eden since they are always brought back so they DEFINITELY aren't humans

[sly kestrel]

So the diamond symbol connects to wasteland’s side in many ways, first of all, the first krill area seems to be almost identical to the forest temple, indicating they used the same architecture. And the masks on the wasteland spirits have diamond symbols, just like the forehead plate on teth. Also, the diamond symbol is seen on 2 castles in wasteland that look like the one on the shields. Diamond shaped symbols were said to represent use of technology and to be an artificial symbol unlike the flowing smooth feel of creatures and nature.

@that.cambion.nerd#1202 this is one of my old statements, Nooooo

[hidden dagger]

Professional Liar

[verbal swift]

Very professional

Lmao

[sly kestrel]

And the huge paragraph u sent of my theory woulda made more sense if u included the picture with it

[frozen pivot]

Sky kids and cotl are the same thing

[sly kestrel]

I don’t lie on this chat btw

[hidden dagger]

o

Lmao

[verbal swift]

Game Theory sky children of light video coming soon

If the game was more popular

[hidden dagger]

Elders that accepted the technology: Forest and Vault

[unborn fog]

OOOOOO JAY

[sly kestrel]

It’s played by millions of ppl lol

[indigo scarab]

And wasteland***

[sly kestrel]

It’s just that the lore is so vaguely given

[frozen pivot]

Jay do u make those images?

[hidden dagger]

But

Wasteland had the natural symbol

[verbal swift]

It’s played by millions of ppl lol
@sly kestrel it has 10M downloads I honestly excepted 100M

[sly kestrel]

And I doubt they will find anything

[indigo scarab]

Diamond press is in wasteland too.

Just broken down

[sly kestrel]

They need live-streams and the stuff we found

[hidden dagger]

Wait

I got a idea

[verbal swift]

Mhhmm?

[sly kestrel]

Wasteland has the natural symbol on the shield and that’s my theory of the faction going against the diamond production

[hidden dagger]

They maked the technology on wasteland whitout the permission of the elder

[sly kestrel]

But go ahead

[hidden dagger]

And he might have destroyed it

[indigo scarab]

Oooo

[round musk]

Oh I figured out Isle of Dawn's role in the manufacturing

[hidden dagger]

But Forest Elder didnt care, or perhaps liked it

Valley also has technology

[sly kestrel]

Well, he has a diamond shield on the mural so that could’ve indicated that he used to be on their side of industry, but later he had the sun shield and this could mean that he changed sides and supported the light

[hidden dagger]

The twins could be neutral

[sly kestrel]

They simply thrived off of the diamonds

[hidden dagger]

And Prairie and Isle werent affected yet

But they may were about to be affected but the war started

[sly kestrel]

They didnt have diamond prudction or use of them at all, this was the early stage of the civilization where they used primitive tech

[verbal swift]

And Prairie and Isle werent affected yet
@hidden dagger there are spirits there though 👀

Dead ones

[round musk]

They did however help in the production process by delivering raw materials e.g. butterflies and birds

[sly kestrel]

If they were involved with the war in some way, I’m pretty sure they would’ve been soldiers of the sun shield

[hidden dagger]

Wait

Maybe the "wasteland army" went to Prairie and isle

But the "enemy soldiers" Killed the innocent

[frozen pivot]

Are we talking about the different symbols on the shields?

[sly kestrel]

Haha I jus made up that name
I’m not exactly sure about it being a sun, but the symbol is seen around things that....yk, involve natural light
So basically the circular shields are the good guys

[unborn fog]

the sun folk aka eden peeps

[sly kestrel]

Ok to understand what went on with the war u sorta have to kno about the diamond production

[hidden dagger]

Vault: technology
Wasteland: ok add on me
Vault: BAD TECHNOLOGY
Wasteland: no u me destroy and then make a rebelion

[round musk]

Did the isle elder send light in the form of birds to the forest?

[sly kestrel]

Huh

[hidden dagger]

Did the isle elder send light in the form of birds to the forest?
@round musk and butterflys

[unborn fog]

diamond production is a really polluting and corrupt process that basically means stuffing light creatures into pots and cramming them into the diamonds with other presumably 'darkness' materials

[sly kestrel]

I’m confused about isle elder actually, never formed a theory about his purpose

[round musk]

Butterflies was prairie

[hidden dagger]

Isle Elder and Prairie Elder maked the organic light

[unborn fog]

no there were butterflies in isle too

[sly kestrel]

They can’t make light

[hidden dagger]

They can’t make light
@sly kestrel explain how Prairie Elder makes butterflys

[frozen pivot]

Welp he seems to be involved very little in the lore

[round musk]

They just sent creatures of light to be manufactured

[sly kestrel]

...

[unborn fog]

they collect it in the form of creatures

[indigo scarab]

Captured?

[swift kindle]

Faith trust and forms of creatures

[sly kestrel]

Did U forget we gave him the light in the first place

Butterflys isn’t a word and maked isn’t a word either

[hidden dagger]

And also

I speak spanish, so my english isnt that good

[indigo scarab]

I speak spanish too! ^_^

[sly kestrel]

Ohhh it’s fine

[hidden dagger]

o

[sly kestrel]

Sorry

[hidden dagger]

There are like almost no spanish users on sky

[frozen pivot]

Wat does the prairie elder do with the fire again?

[hidden dagger]

Maybe from 10 to 100

[frozen pivot]

At the cinematic

[hidden dagger]

Butterflyes

[round musk]

Did the isle elder create birds out of light?

[sly kestrel]

Ok the elder cutscenes isn’t something with a clear picture, it’s a symbolic cutscene and what we see involves a lot of representation

[hidden dagger]

The final custscene maybe the Vault elder started to regret the technology

[sly kestrel]

They all did

[frozen pivot]

Still there should be some info relevant to the lore that can made out of it

[hidden dagger]

Since it started the war

[sly kestrel]

Not jus the war, it destroyed everything and was the cause of their extinction

[indigo scarab]

Rip

[frozen pivot]

Was the elder there before the war even started?

[round musk]

They wouldn't be reconnecting with the light if they weren't regretful

[hidden dagger]

Yep

[zinc arrow]

yes

[indigo scarab]

Br

[sly kestrel]

The elders existed far before there even was a civilization

[indigo scarab]

Yeah

[hidden dagger]

The Elders are like gods or something

[indigo scarab]

Maybe

[sly kestrel]

Something like that

[round musk]

Or just powerful aliens

[sly kestrel]

I mean....technically they are aliens
They fell from their world onto the “human” world and started making a civilization there

[hidden dagger]

Lmao

[sly kestrel]

Also skykids are technically aliens too

[round musk]

Does that make all gods aliens?

[sly kestrel]

We aren’t from this world

[frozen pivot]

Yes

But elders were the ones that created the tech right?

[sly kestrel]

Kinda

Hard to say

I jus kno that it was created and elders most likely helped them

[frozen pivot]

Or helped the spirits atleast

[round musk]

Anyway, no one ever gave any insight about what this means in isle of dawn. Is the elder creating birds out of light? In that case, why did the light fall from the sky?

[sly kestrel]

Moth

[round musk]

Btw im not the moth

[sly kestrel]

And as far as I know, no clear theories yet
It’s all jus us guessing, isle is a very mysterious place

[frozen pivot]

No structures other than the tunnels and the ramps

[sly kestrel]

Also that symbol seems to represent a lot of things

[frozen pivot]

This might be a stoopid question but, did the elders already "fell" before all this happened or was them falling just a word similar to smth

[hidden dagger]

Boi

Prairie Elder is big and looks rude

But he is like kind and sensitive

[frozen pivot]

Hes chonky not big

[cold steppe]

it's believed that the fall of the elders was first

then Sky was destroyed

then we came along

I think

[hidden dagger]

thikn

[frozen pivot]

So they basically fell because of smth and they helped a civilization to be destroyed then we come and save them

[cold steppe]

pretty much, yes

[round musk]

The very first wall art we see in the game is of people catching those glowing things falling from the sky. Anyone have any ideas as to what those symbols might represent?

[frozen pivot]

Theres only 7 elders that fell right? But are there more elders that havent gotten yeeted yet?

[cold steppe]

yeah, 7 elders

the Eden elder is not confirmed to be in game

so we only know for sure that the 7 elders have fallen (and exist)

[sly kestrel]

6 elders fell, one in middle is child of light

[cold steppe]

wouldn't it technically be 7 because twins?

[sly kestrel]

Oh

[cold steppe]

or are they counted as one?

[hushed steeple]

Yeet

[sly kestrel]

Well....eh ig that could count as one

[cold steppe]

tbh, your reaction was my thoughts as first too

[frozen pivot]

So 8 elders with eden

[cold steppe]

if there is an eden elder

[sly kestrel]

Technically it’s 7 elders but the twins are identified as 1

So 6

[hushed steeple]

Or are there more elders and more lvls? Ik it sounds stupid

[cold steppe]

no??

[hushed steeple]

That haven’t fallen yet

[sly kestrel]

7th was the king but he was a long lost concept character

And yea no more elders

No more realms

It’s confirmed

[cold steppe]

there's no more confirmed elders

[hushed steeple]

Oki

[cold steppe]

just the 6/7 in-game now (Isle-Vault)

[sly kestrel]

Each realm represents a stage of life so they won’t add anything else

[cold steppe]

if they did, they would probably have to retcon some stuff

[sly kestrel]

I don’t think it’s possible, they got everything

[cold steppe]

agreed

[sly kestrel]

Birth, childhood, teen years, adulthood, mid life crisis, old age/enlightenment and death

Ig orbit counts as rebirth but that’s about it

[round musk]

Yeah it adds so much more meaning to the game looking at it through a metaphorical lense

[hushed steeple]

I didn’t know that represented anything that’s cewl

[round musk]

I feel like im in a midlife crisis so ive been hanging around in wasteland a lot lately

More like a pre-life crisis but still

[hushed steeple]

I’m prob on the younger end of the spectrum

[round musk]

@sly kestrel You don't have any thoughts on the very first cave art in isle?

With the light orb things falling from the sky?

[unborn fog]

the light orb?

that s another life coming into existence

being reborn and sent back to childhood

ig lol idk

[round musk]

That's actually a great theory

[sly kestrel]

OHHHHH

Those were the elders falling

Identified as stars in the intro

But later confirmed that they were the 6 elders

[round musk]

So how do you explain why the isle residents were carrying the elders to the temple?

[indigo scarab]

I mean... they fell from the sky

[round musk]

Then it looks like isle elder is turning them into birds

[indigo scarab]

Maybe they fell in order and the isle elder is telling them that theres more elders falling? Idk

The murals are super vauge

[round musk]

Perfect for theorizing though

[frozen pivot]

I think wat the isle elder is doing there is that hes telling a story about where the elders came from

The way the elder is pointing on the sky and how the stars are arranged seems like that to me

[round musk]

I think those are birds not stars

[frozen pivot]

No the big cirlces

[round musk]

Why would the elders be falling from a flock of birds though

[frozen pivot]

Bruh

Where do flock of birds fly at tho?

[sly kestrel]

Where are u guys getting birds

[frozen pivot]

Do they fly on the ground?

[sly kestrel]

Those are stars

They didn’t fall from birds

Who falls from birds

[round musk]

In the isle elder cutscene he raises his staff and controls the direction of the birds flying overhead

[frozen pivot]

Was explaining smth about the mural

How do u know that?

The mural can mean anything

[round musk]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F45tApENkew&feature=youtu.be

[frozen pivot]

Ok the elder cutscenes isn’t something with a clear picture, it’s a symbolic cutscene and what we see involves a lot of representation
@sly kestrel

Sorry for the ping

[round musk]

So are the murals tho

Im just saying its likely they're related

[sly kestrel]

Yes those are symbolic too

Not clear pictures

[frozen pivot]

Then where wat could the big stars mean?

[sly kestrel]

Those circles also seem to represent the elders btw

[frozen pivot]

Are they falling while the spirits are kneeling and the elder is controlling the birds?

[sly kestrel]

When they fell they had that symbol

...huh

[frozen pivot]

Wel ye that was my point

[round musk]

They're not falling, look at the picture above it

[sly kestrel]

No elders were already on the ground

[frozen pivot]

The stars are the symbols that the elders had when they fell

I think wat the isle elder is doing there is that hes telling a story about where the elders came from
@frozen pivot

[sly kestrel]

Did u jus quote yaself

[frozen pivot]

Too lazy to retype it

[round musk]

Idk it looks like the people are bringing the stars to the temple, where the elder then does... whatever he's doing with them.

You have to look at the first picture

Also, anyone think these birds are being sent by isle elder to be diamond molded?

[frozen pivot]

I guess theyre just drawn to the light

[cold steppe]

I think they're ultimately headed to orbit

[mellow sable]

an enchantment pearl huh

hmmm

I mean

you could say the lights are "pearls"

[frozen pivot]

Or orbs

[hollow pier]

People keep saying that there’s no canon eden elder this isn’t true there is an eden elder, they’re just beyond saving

Also the Vault elder does ascend because we can see them in orbit if you complete their constellation

[rustic elbow]

What do they look like? I don’t know if I’ve paid enough attention to notice them

[hollow pier]

We don’t know if it’s what they looked like before death, but their “soul” is the CoL we hug after dying in Eden

[frozen pivot]

Elder = col? So sky kids = elder also

Huh

[hollow pier]

Sky kids=/=elders

[rustic elbow]

I always figured that was another part of us, the player, kind of “making ourself whole again” or coping with the trauma of going through Eden edit: maybe even the disconnect between the player and our character

[round musk]

I thought the CoL we hug is just a random placed skykid if you didn't complete Eden with a friend

[hollow pier]

The elders and sky kids are subspecies of CoL, it’s unsure if the ancestors were also CoL but the answer to that is probably yes

[round musk]

If you die after your friend does, the skykid appears as your friend

[frozen pivot]

Whered u get that hage?

[hollow pier]

From a live-stream!

[rustic elbow]

It’s always appeared blank to me, regardless of if I went through with a friend

[round musk]

Huh. Maybe you died first?

[frozen pivot]

The note from the quote in the livestream said "subspecies probably"

And saying probably to smth doesnt mean theyre certain of it

[hollow pier]

The CoL we see after dying in Eden is definitely the king, that’s what the game files say (disclaimer: don’t look at the game files)

Subspecies is the closest approximation to what the difference between the elders and kids are

It’s probably more accurate to identify the difference as different types of golems

Because we know that the elders were always elders (which implies they were made that way)

[frozen pivot]

That would also mean that the cotl we collect around and give on the statues are elders that somehow fell without deforming

To elders we know fell

[hollow pier]

The winged light=/= children of light

[rustic elbow]

When you say col do you mean players?

[hollow pier]

Winged lights are “imprints” left behind by a “child of light” we have a “connection” to

Child of light doesn’t refer to the players but all of the megabird’s children

[rustic elbow]

I thought we were? Like the megabird sent the players down to try and fix stuff

[hollow pier]

The term child of light encompasses the players but doesn’t exclusively refer to them

[round musk]

Ok so is the being referred to as the child of light the same person as the king?

[hollow pier]

We don’t know

[rustic elbow]

Could you send some screenshots? Also what else are col?

[sly kestrel]

The child of light could be the king but all I kno is that it’s a separate being than us

We jus look like him/her

[rustic elbow]

Also I thought the king was supposed to be evil and vain and whatnot, why would he attach to a sky kid?

[sly kestrel]

There are different concepts of the king so it’s hard to say

[hollow pier]

The being that left behind the winged light I used to think for sure was the same as the one we hug, but then we got confirmation that the hug child is the king so

[sly kestrel]

Confirmation?

[hollow pier]

From the game files (that we shouldn’t have looked at)

[sly kestrel]

Ig I won’t believe it until I see it 🙂

[rustic elbow]

You can’t just say “the game files” and not show anything,,,

[frozen pivot]

I mean its part of lore hunting

[rustic elbow]

The devs have said before that they don’t want people rooting around the game files

[frozen pivot]

If they gave info about the lore this vague, it wouldnt be a surprise if people resort to finding clues on game files itself

But ye

Its not cool

[rustic elbow]

So what’s to say they haven’t intentionally mislabeled things to send people on a wild goose chase

[wind bone]

Lore hunting doesn’t mean breaking the rules of this server

[hollow pier]

Exactly^^

[wind bone]

Anything posted here that is due to ripping game files will be removed

[hollow pier]

[rustic elbow]

So why are those pictures still up?

[hollow pier]

Were you there during the 12 Days of Forbidden Knowledge? Someone snuck into the archives of Vault and found something they shouldn’t have

[rustic elbow]

What?

[wind bone]

What do you think caused all that damage 👀

[hollow pier]

Oh! The 12 Days are back haha must have been a lapse in my memory

[sly kestrel]

Oooh they were explaining the new area at belonging and how it was filled with forbidden knowledge and stuff

It was said that ruin and long decay caused belonging spirit to sneak in but I believe others snuck in as well

[hollow pier]

I personally find it extremely hilarious that 12 days of chat we’re missing for a few minutes there

[sly kestrel]

Wait

What....are u talking about

Inside joke?

[hollow pier]

For 9 minutes 12 days of chat were missing

Unless discord was lying to me

[sly kestrel]

Oh my u have kept track

That

Wow

[vague plover]

The whale is on my mind right now, I just want to know more about it.
It's such an intriguing being in the game to me. I just wonder if we'll ever see more of them soon??

[sly kestrel]

I think it’s the last of its kind

[desert sun]

ah- i flew incredibly fast through eden and got really close to the whale as it was ascending

and i must say. that lad is MASSIVE

i love it

i always thought the head of a whale had a mask on it

[round musk]

Whales are basically a very large hybrid of the coelacanth and dunkleosteus

Neither of which are remotely related to real whales lol

[sly kestrel]

I believe it started as a fan name and it grew to be canon but idk

Those creatures seem to be references tho, nice observation 🤜🏻

[low imp]

Wait I always thought it was a slug ._.

[sly kestrel]

...

No

[indigo scarab]

Lol

[low imp]

:')

[vague plover]

What if we got a creature sometime that looked like a sunfish.

[round musk]

From these concept sketches it looks like they were originally designed to resemble actual whales much more

[sly kestrel]

New dark creatures > literally any other creature

[vague plover]

It's not new! :D but I believe they readded it

It's for the accessibility for that wing they put up there and for future stuff

[sly kestrel]

That was actually something from season of lightseekers

I believe they are prepping for a traveling spirit

...wdym
It was the path to get the seasonal spirit

It was actually pretty stressful, it was a carry spirit and if u dropped it....well ya had to start all over

I barely remember but in gratitude there were platforms like this too
It was to get the dragon mask

The spirit ended at the very top with the pillars

If u still don’t remember, jus go on YouTube and look at the seasonal spirit guide. Watch nastymold or sumtin

[karmic ledge]

Those moving platforms were from both the Gratitude and Lightseekers season!

Yep! The spirit would float to different places and you would have to use the platforms to reach the spirit memory poses.

[vague plover]

I remember sometime when we were discussing birds and bird landing spots. I just wanted to confirm they do land at the ark! Whenever said that you were right!

If anyone else knows any other spots they land besides the ark and the social area in prairie let me know I'm gonna be studying the birds I think.

[pearl void]

Ia krill a bird?

[vague plover]

What do you mean?

[pearl void]

Haha nah I'm messing around

[vague plover]

OH WORKKDKEKE

[pearl void]

Valley citadel and flying race area got bird, forest going in cloud tunnel and underground got bird

[vague plover]

Okay! I'll go check out those areas. What I'm specifically looking for is where they land! :o so if you know if any places beside the ark and prairie social area feel free to let me know!

[exotic hemlock]

.

[pulsar nova]

hello luke

[exotic hemlock]

Heey!

[pulsar nova]

got any theories?

[exotic hemlock]

I don't have :/

[desert sun]

so if these arent manta bones thennn at least it confirms the presence of another winged animal besides mantas and birdss

it looks more like a bird

[heady sinew]

I always thought they were manta bones, since a ghost manta pops up when you use Normal Manta call to complete the "quest"

[odd olive]

It’s the bones of the baby manta

[desert sun]

theres a discussion abt whether or not theyre manta bones or not bc

a) mantas and krills and other animals can fly through solid objects

and b) the anatomy of the bones doesnt quite shape up to fit a manta

i personally like to believe its manta bones, but there's always the occasion where im wrong so ill entertain the idea that theyre not

[pearl void]

Baby manta

😭

[cold steppe]

I also initially thought it was manta bones because baby manta spirit

[pulsar nova]

mantas have bones???

did a rough sketch, the head looks a little big for a manta

[celest spoke]

RL manta skels mostly cartilage

[pulsar nova]

but yes, a manta is possible

[humble barn]

some says they don't but I think they do

[pearl void]

It is the same principle like the whale bone and sound at hidden forest

For me i think at least it is

[pulsar nova]

it cant be a whale tho

the skull and rib structures are different

[humble barn]

u can see my awful sketches of manta bones here
https://discordapp.com/channels/575762611111592007/632004389137154048/716964953482985531

[pulsar nova]

and this boy has flappers

dude it aint awful, its gr8!!

[celest spoke]

So I’ve been wondering about connections btw Prairie/Forest caves; both have odd features that aren’t in the rest of their realms

Like iirc Prairie has water only in caves, nowhere else; Sunny Forest (incl caves) is the only part of Forest with clouds other than entrance/exit areas— could they have been physically connected somehow? Deep underground bargeway/mineshafts?

[pulsar nova]

maybe

[round musk]

I personally like to believe that neither ghost mantas nor ghost whales have skeletons while alive, but when they die their bodies congeal into solid bone-like structures

[pulsar nova]

also there are clouds in the hidden areas

the 8 spirit gate

but yeah, forest and prarie look alike in the cloud areas

[round musk]

Wdym by the 8 spirit gate?

[pulsar nova]

could have been a rainer, wetter section of prarie for all we know

Wdym by the 8 spirit gate?
@round musk the sunny area in forest

[round musk]

Oooh it's been so long since I payed attention to the gate requirements lol

[pulsar nova]

sorry if i wasnt clear

[round musk]

Np

[celest spoke]

I was thinking of main Sunny as an extension of its caves (tho istr hearing that the caves were a later addition gamewise)

But does the Prairie water relate to Forest’s river somehow

Esp the P cave workshop with the butterfly jars w lil dark plants

[pulsar nova]

hmmm

lemme thonk

maybe not

[celest spoke]

Tho originally the P caves were much more elevated from the central area— used to be huge cliffs that moths slid off

[pulsar nova]

forest could be connected to prarie in some ways, like eg the closeness of the two, the similarities of the "dry zones" and the spinny temple thingies that you melt the darkness off. but the water caves are pretty far away from the sunny area in forest, so it would have to be a REALLY long connection

sorry if i ddint understand what you were asking my brain is functioning at 50% today

[sly kestrel]

[pulsar nova]

ooh hello Jay

[sly kestrel]

Ur username concerns me

[celest spoke]

meh I’m just tossing ideas around all random like moth nav splat

[pulsar nova]

tossing ideas are good!

[celest spoke]

I for one am not surprised that anyone could surpass crabs’ guitar-playing abilities oh wait no

[desert sun]

got nothing to do but toss ideas around

[pulsar nova]

so is tossing crabs

[desert sun]

why are you so violent to crabs

😔 crab rights

[celest spoke]

But catapults won’t yeet crabs iirc

[pulsar nova]

hey they wanted to fight first >: (

[cold steppe]

I’m also slightly concerned

[pulsar nova]

[cold steppe]

So crabs don’t look like actual crabs

Little stubby legs

[sly kestrel]

They look like origami legs

[celest spoke]

Tho I was also considering crabs as butterflies gone really, really wrong— they circle around and rush twd you but instead of recharging your light they boop it off

[cold steppe]

Also this might be slightly unrelated, but any guesses to why I look cursed

I’m the chibi

[pulsar nova]

chibis can be your angle or yuor devil

[desert sun]

those eyes.......

[cold steppe]

Is that game mechanics or lore

[pulsar nova]

game mechanics

[cold steppe]

It’s the only stance that does this

[desert sun]

game mechanic broke

i bet

[pulsar nova]

chibis also have expressive eyes

chibi eyes move when using the sleepy emote from enchantment

[cold steppe]

I think it’s interesting that we have chibis in a game of skykids

[desert sun]

skybabies

[cold steppe]

We’re already small compared to the spirits and chibis are even smaller

Also chibi is the only height that can be controlled/chosen

[pulsar nova]

are the spirits really tall or are we just short

[celest spoke]

Yes

[cold steppe]

True

Either way, the height difference is pretty large

[pulsar nova]

yup

[desert sun]

idk i just assumed chibi mask was also just a fun game mechanic

lore on chibi mask.......... wild

[celest spoke]

Do table lore next

[cold steppe]

I mean it technically is a game mechanic

[pulsar nova]

how does it expand-

[cold steppe]

But we don’t have a super tall mechanic

[sly kestrel]

There used to be 😔

[cold steppe]

What

[sly kestrel]

Where u can be as tall as a spirit

[pulsar nova]

😮

[cold steppe]

We were robbed

[pulsar nova]

wHAT

i need this power

[celest spoke]

Boom stick is technically part of lore bc we see them in Prairie cave workshop

[sly kestrel]

And there was one where u can be a MINIIIII mini chibi

[cold steppe]

Yeah, the fireworks

[sly kestrel]

It was like the cutest thing ever

[pulsar nova]

they stone doe

we can squash them now

[celest spoke]

And how do we lore new rainbow spell what is why how

[sly kestrel]

I think its jus sum for fun

It is pride month too

[desert sun]

i mean... if u really wanna.... a rainbow is just light reflected off of water iirc

mayb its just skykids controlling light to make rainbows using water

shrug shrug

[sly kestrel]

Ig u could say that

I wouldn’t put too much thought to it

[pulsar nova]

i once trolled a bunch of players by spawning a rainbow in the main oart of wasteland

[celest spoke]

But rainbows also depend on specific angle btw light source/viewer/refracty things

[desert sun]

i wouldn't BUT it is fun to theorize on silly things

[celest spoke]

Main Forest rainbow is impossible to reconcile with planetary/realm mechanics

Bc why would it only apoear at certain times if it’s always the same time of day

[sly kestrel]

For fun.....

[pulsar nova]

👀

its a small easter egg

[sly kestrel]

Jus like oreo

[cold steppe]

Also magic of sorts

[celest spoke]

Someone has to’ve rainbowed inside Eden already

[desert sun]

me i have

[pulsar nova]

so, anyone know about the monster thing in prarie?

[sly kestrel]

But, we all need a break sometimes so how bout we jus theorize about fun stuff

[pulsar nova]

yup!

[sly kestrel]

Monster?

[desert sun]

prairie?

[pulsar nova]

yeah, theres a sort of dark statue thing under the cave in prarie

[sly kestrel]

Ohhh it was a glitch

It got fixed don’t worry

[pulsar nova]

it was fun while it lasted haha

it looked real cool

[sly kestrel]

U guys should’ve seen the hidden Mario star

That was funny

[pulsar nova]

the WHAT

[celest spoke]

(Mushroom flashbacks now)

[desert sun]

THE WHO

[celest spoke]

Oh btw Forest mantas got grubby

[hearty vortex]

they look shiny

[sly kestrel]

Temporary bug

[desert sun]

thats real? thought that was just

yea ok

[pulsar nova]

forest,wasteland and vault do be the most technologically advanced

[celest spoke]

Was wondering if the mantas has the light squeezed outta them

[pulsar nova]

forest strikes again

[desert sun]

forest,wasteland and vault do be the most technologically advanced
@pulsar nova valley?

[celest spoke]

Valley does have citadel doing whatever it does

[pulsar nova]

spinny orb

[sly kestrel]

U guys wanna take a break from lore for a lil bit and laugh at something

[pulsar nova]

yeah but aside from that (and the gates) it isnt too tech-y

sure dudebro

[sly kestrel]

Valley does have citadel doing whatever it does
@celest spoke it’s an armillary sphere fortress

But uhhh

[desert sun]

i could go for a laugh

[sly kestrel]

I hope I don’t get yelled at

[desert sun]

LMAO WHA T

[sly kestrel]

Seraph don’t come at me

[pulsar nova]

[pulsar nova]

you will be krilled in 0:05

not even the home glitch will save you

[celest spoke]

What happens if you nitro krill

[desert sun]

... like nitro boost?

[celest spoke]

foom

[desert sun]

foom

[celest spoke]

Maybe test nitro on crabs first

[pulsar nova]

[desert sun]

story, worldbuilding

basically the plot

[celest spoke]

crab walk cycle

[pulsar nova]

its really fun

[desert sun]

theorizing about what happened in sky

if you have any theories feel free to share

[pulsar nova]

i used to have a theory abt journey havng a war with sky peeps

[celest spoke]

And what the murals nthings mean

Plot twist: Skykids fall through time warp into Flower game

Bonus points for including Abzu

[pulsar nova]

journey is earth, sky is fire, flower is air, and flow is water

it all changed when the skykids attacked

[celest spoke]

Agni Kai with crab emote

[pulsar nova]

oh yeah

if you go OOB in valley, and go to the twins temple, the bridge thing behind the stadium is broken

and its the same for all models

[celest spoke]

Bridge thing?

[pulsar nova]

is it just a easter egg?

yeah hang on

the pathway behind the valley temple

i cant send photos rn

[celest spoke]

I think OOBs are gen’ly considered questionable as lore tho fun— I mean valley temple OOB is floating over ocean instead of planted on ice mountain etc

[pulsar nova]

all the OOBs like that haha

[celest spoke]

Diving off Prairie cave oob in one direction plops you into invisible water waaaay below

And Ark oob has the old pool of toxic oil under new clean pool

Tho we should prb make distinction btw cutscene oobs and non-cutscenes

But lore

Is new Ark store lore-compatible, or just game mechanic?

[pulsar nova]

uhhhmmm\

lore compatible

there was some lore on it earlier

[celest spoke]

So did we refurbish spellmaking widgets dug up from the sand?

[pulsar nova]

possibly

theres also some stuff. that can be taken into thought

[celest spoke]

Or is quest spirit still kinda supervising spell production

[pulsar nova]

like how there's vault crystals in a section

[sly kestrel]

They were scholars, Thas why

[celest spoke]

Scholars seeking prosperity tho

[sly kestrel]

The ark was like their car
If u were a rockstar with a nice van, wouldn’t u dump all ur guitars and stuff in there

[tranquil thicket]

Scholars need to live too

[celest spoke]

Sailing around in search of VCs to fund IPO

[pulsar nova]

me and the scholars pulling up in the new ark

[celest spoke]

wanna make Ark a lowrider

[pulsar nova]

w

wha-

[celest spoke]

Ok just add spinners to the oars and bling on a spoiler

[pulsar nova]

[celest spoke]

Gonna take my ark to the old town road

[pulsar nova]

gonna, craaaaash it into the sand

[desert sun]

im in me mums ark

[sly kestrel]

I think I had enough internet for today

[round musk]

Get out me ark

[barren bloom]

You never sneep Jay

[celest spoke]

Noooo I broke lore again

[sly kestrel]

[pulsar nova]

imagine getting a big ark containing all sorts of magical light capable of healing a wasteland just for short fire kiddins to step on it

[celest spoke]

We could heal the rest of the realm NAH JUST RAINBOW EVERYTHING

[pulsar nova]

why isnt there a ban emote-

[barren bloom]

Do you remember what the seasonal task spirit said for each colored lights?

[celest spoke]

The descriptions of where the lights were?

[barren bloom]

Like... For the orange light he Desired warmth or something

[pulsar nova]

teal was hides among early gusts of wind

green was gifts of sky to the earth??

[celest spoke]

Orange light was something like brings warmth to a cold place, sounds more like valley tbh

[pulsar nova]

https://www.appunwrapper.com/2020/04/01/sky-children-of-the-light-season-of-enchantment-colored-lights-guide/

here

[barren bloom]

Ahh thanks

[pulsar nova]

there are descriptions for lights in there

[round musk]

What do people think the forest temple used as a resource to manufacture crystals?

[sly kestrel]

...

Ima jus send the paragraph

[barren bloom]

😂

[sly kestrel]

Way too lazy to explain again holup

So this is about the theory of diamond production and the purpose of flying boats. Boats are mainly for the use of carrying pots of light. You can see these pots of light being made at prairie and I say pots of light because there are butterflies put inside them. In the wave emote cutscene, u can actually see one of the flying boats carrying pots of light.
These pots are being shipped to forest to make power diamonds, they combine the light with organic material at forest and use a diamond press to combine them into an artificial Star, or what we call “power diamond”. You can actually see the concept of this by looking at the forest temple door mural. To add even more details, right when u enter forest the text on the bottom says to “find the source of an ancient power”. The pic below is another way of looking how power diamonds are made and how forest built them. This diamond press in the picture is also seen at the golden wasteland, and there’s a krill flying around it. It may be broken down but it is noticeable that it is the same factory. Also the shipwreck at wasteland is seen to be carrying certain pieces of this diamond press, it goes to the top and sides. Now I know there’s boats everywhere and not all of them are carrying pots of light, so I jus assume they are for transportation since the people on the ground can’t fly naturally

Is that good enough cluepod

Is ur head clear now

[pulsar nova]

woo!

[sly kestrel]

Well I hope it is

[hybrid oxide]

:0

[pulsar nova]

thank you jay for educating us

[barren bloom]

Those trapped mantas in the temple could be one of the few possibilities

[sly kestrel]

Huh

[pulsar nova]

the mantas could've broken free

that also explains why the spirits were mining and all

[sly kestrel]

....it’s literally a window
There were no trapped mantas

Huh

[round musk]

I was asking because it seems suspicious that the birds are flying straight to the top of the temple, and the top of the machine is where the light is injected

[sly kestrel]

They didn’t mine...

[pulsar nova]

oops sorry

[sly kestrel]

Minecraft has left the chat long ago

[pulsar nova]

i was refrencing the crying spirits

[sly kestrel]

Ohhh

[pulsar nova]

they could have been gathering materials

[sly kestrel]

No they weren’t mining, they were using the pickaxe to help get their friends out of the rocks but they ended up dying

[pulsar nova]

o

[barren bloom]

I saw it like a trap since someone say that the dark plant might be the main ingredient, and it might feeds off light creatures like trapped mantas

[sly kestrel]

But, mining for materials could be a possibility

[pulsar nova]

my bad again-

[round musk]

Why did they conveniently have pickaxes while they were in a cave?

[sly kestrel]

Like I said it could be a possibility

[barren bloom]

Why did they conveniently have pickaxes while they were in a cave?
@round musk maybe... They're miners

[pulsar nova]

their friend could have been stuck and they rushed to get them out and brought pickaxes

[sly kestrel]

In the end they all died

[frosty helm]

Which makes all of us cry

[sly kestrel]

The cry spirit story hit me the most

[pulsar nova]

so the tiny rocks were graves?

[sly kestrel]

Even the first time I saw it I was jus like
😨😖😭

Yea they were graves

[pulsar nova]

okay so

im just gonna try writing the thing out

[sly kestrel]

Accidentally pressed send

My bad

[pulsar nova]

oj okay

[sly kestrel]

But u can still write urs, I was jus....kidding

[pulsar nova]

was she stuck in the cave?

issokay lmao

[sly kestrel]

Well, there is a pathway of rock stairs so she prolly made that to get out finally

But I believe in the end, she went back in the cave to make the graves and to.....you kno
Cherish their memory, this is where she cried 😕

[pulsar nova]

thats sad 😔

🇫

[sly kestrel]

It’s not uncommon to visit the places where a loved one died, and there were graves there so she prolly wanted to remember them

Would’ve been so wholesome if we were able to hug the cry spirit in the end

[pulsar nova]

yeah : (

give em a little pat pat

a-

[round musk]

What do you guys think the beam of light at the top of the forest temple is?

[sly kestrel]

That shows up when u honk

Well....either that or it’s a glitch

Cuz it wasn’t naturally put there

[round musk]

Huh I must be remembering wrong then

[sly kestrel]

Yea it’s a glitch, doesn’t show up for me

[frosty helm]

I just watched the final cutscene for Season of Enchantment and where I expected a lore dump I got a wholesome video.

Not complaining tho

[sly kestrel]

U should’ve seen my rant yesterday 😂😂.....😔

[frosty helm]

I had to find a youtube vid because my parents inevitably made me switch off my phone the second I started it myself

[hybrid oxide]

Does anyone has any idea about a dead bird in front of the citadel in valley?

[sly kestrel]

It’s something leftover from beta

Back then there was a quest where u would meditate next to it and ur job was to collect lights around the citadel
And then u would get a candle

[round musk]

I always assumed it was a snow sculpture

[supple totem]

Hello

[hushed steeple]

@round musk, just something I noticed.
The beam coming from the forest temple looks
1, like the ones on the fragments of light
2, like the one coming from Eden
Just something to think about

Also, I have some questions

I’m thinking about really focusing on the history of Sky, could people just spitball some theories that have been touched on?

[cold steppe]

Power diamond theory
Two shields theory
Those are two of the more popular ones. You can use the search bar to learn more about them

Also the Lightseekers-Vault-Enchantment connection

That one is a bit newer

[hushed steeple]

Cool. I’ll look those up in a sec, but could I get some other perspectives on some theories my dad and I have?

[cold steppe]

Hi Mochi

Theories are always welcome here!

Also, check out the pins! There’s lots of info there too, including a doc of everything that has been confirmed to be part of the lore

And lots of really cool concept art that isn’t really canon, but it gives an idea of some of the inspiration/beginnings of what the game is now

[hushed steeple]

Aight. So...
1: the trees in Sky are petrified, that’s why there aren’t any leaves
2: Eden is a somehow-explosive shield volcano that is erupting
3: there’s another game coming

[cold steppe]

It would be nice if there was something new on the horizon, but Sky isn’t even a year old yet

I think TGC is mostly focusing on porting to new platforms and stabilizing the game, as well as adding new content to Sky

And the power diamond theory explains your second one

[hushed steeple]

That’s true, but my dad was thinking that at some point in the future another game will come that’s the SkyKid’s journey to becoming a star

Oh ok

[cold steppe]

It would be really nice!!

Also you’re somewhat right that Eden is exploding

But it’s not a volcano that’s erupting. It’s probably a massive power diamond
