Also I want a rouge sky kid
Probably didn’t spell that right
but I want to have to option of joining the dark side B)
Actually...
we should be able to ride krill like mantas
What if there is no such thing as “dark taking over” like what if light/dark lived together in harmony... wait .... my theory is starting to sound like the plot of mlp-
we should be able to ride krill like mantas
@hushed steeple I tried to ride a krill once :’)
@hushed steeple I tried to ride a krill once :’)
@cyan sonnet lol same it saw me and attacked i lost 3 wings
krills don't have a physical body though
so maybe that's why we can't ride em
True
then again we rode ghost mantas and ghost jellies so why not krills huhhh... but then again that was the dream section in vault... AAAA
However I feel that if a sky kid can harness the darkness and the power of darkness then it’s possible to feel grasp and therefore ride dark energy/power
the krill and crabs just need a hug and some cookies
they are probably very sad that technology destroyed their home
:0 maybe the reason they are so angsty is bc their homes are polluted and thats why they attack us bc they know we caused it?
and we are the bad guys
Yup B))
I knew it
We’re actually bad :’)
Then again I don’t feel it’s very nice to blame me for the problems of my ancestors
true true
Also I’ve noticed that honks energize crabs like if they’re knocked down if you honk they’ll get up so I feel like we have a relationship with the animals (since the honk does smth positive for them)
actually the honk is supposed to knock them over, but if you honk multiple times the crabs can be overturned again
m e g a b i r d
O h m y
but we do know the elder were always elders
those eldererrrs zzz what did they dooooooo
@gray bridge yes its all the elders fault and maybe they realize that they did something bad and use their knowledge (emotes) to help us get to eden and restore the peace with the crabs and krill
Lmao yes
i think said this earlier but maybe it was greed for more than what endless light could offer, then they fell but then they got greedy again
sky does have hats
very nice hats
but i missed em all
aw i want my avatar to have a nice fedora
who’s “they” in this... the elders? And what makes you think they fell twice?
elders
so in the intro sequence
there's all the elders
so then it shows them falling to the clouds where they made the various realms
but the second fall is more of the fall of the whole civilisation
lol
ooh like the elders in the wasteland and forest didnt take car of their world?
care*
yeah i think was more of disregarding it and utilising the environment to create power diamonds for technological advancement
then again that's just a rough theory
yeah and they tried to use the creatures as power? like when you burn the plants? and they became mean
hmmm maybe??
maybe they wanted to utilise their light or like
convert their kinetic energy to potential energy for whatever stuff they were making
like waterfall electricity generator thingies
thats a good theory
just a theory... a game theory
ok im gonna log into the game now zzz this was fun :D
yeah it was byeee
Bye all
Hey just realized that first gated courtyard in Forest was a dock for butterfly jar boats, tho not sure whether they could’ve gone thru the mural cave across from them
I guess based on the concept art that they frequently come to the hidden forest to mine for the stones to the point of making docks and all :0
What are these and why're they at Isle
That is from the season of lightseekers
There is a seasonal spirit from that season there
oyez that's confirmed that
different realms represent different stages of life
but the different stage of life thing is probably not related to the actual lore of sky tho
So no idea if anyone has come up with this at all(they probably have) but what if the ghost mantas in the final area of the vault represents all of the elder spirits coming up to the top of the vault to meet you, since you see them all in the following cutscene?
That game company calls winged lights imprints of children of light
Wait, what if the krill are good and trying to stop you from dying in eden and your winged lights can return to the elders where they use it to corrupt the kingdom even though they seem to be good.
that doesn't seem entirely likely considering the first krill we see has the same reaction towards a random manta
as in, there'd be no reason to attack a manta in the same way if it's not carrying any winged lights
So I'm 99% sure people have already pointed this out, but still:
There are elder faces engraved on the gates. The Eden gate has, in order: Prairie, Forest, Vault, Wasteland, and Valley elders. So everyone except for Isle.
Idk what this means. Maybe Isle of Dawn wasn't on the best terms with Eye of Eden or something like that. Does Vault being in the middle mean anything? Dunno
Edit: I am dummy
Do u also notice that the Dawn elder face is broken in the cutscene?
@lavish wolf isle of dawn was only a tutorial level in old beta... So they omit isle elder from eden gate ..
But they should update it i think
iirc the eden gate used ingame was the same as the one in the prelaunch beta, where isle was more of a tutorial than an actual realm
yeah i agree with amio
Ooohhh ok
give isle grampa some love
Bruh
ginsy how is that so big
Ginsy make sticker now
its an image lol
Oh fair
Ehehdndnwnsndnd well hello large skykid 
I think I finally understand why does the golden boi give you winged light.. I think 🤔
the particles
yep
Is it coincidence that the cloud looks as some animal or something similar? 
Do you think that the tiny secondary fins on the norma mantas are vestigial fins from the quadwinged ones?
Tho it’s definitely present on real life mantas too, so it could just be coincidence
*normal
I was wondering, what gives the sky kids the ability to fly? They need their capes, for a start. But what is the cape made of? would it be an organic material, or would it be made by those diamond farm things?
If somebody has any clue, feel free to @ me since I have the server muted
@indigo sage the theory goes that capes (and anything a skykid wears) is made of light. our clothes don’t actually « exist »
Ah, thanks!
i thought skykids are like demigods
Yo
is it just me or the home island looks like an hourglass, also home space is the only realm that has moving time of day right 
i think home is removed from lore
although if you can work it into your theory more power to u
I do notice that the homespace has a cape constilation on the little rock we are born on and yeeted onto.
This is similar to the manta symbol on the platform we use to turn off the rain
Oo
i thought symbol in the forest represents jellyfishes you summon? it kinda looks more like them
Yea, like how daylight prarie is the mantas-
noticed these statues here holding a power diamond? i also noticed a statue just like these in the part where you see the giant power diamond up close. perhaps these people were like vault people but higher up ooorrr old times vault people (since most vault people have the head piece)

hi does anyone have all the mural locations?
There are ofcourse the main ones in isle, however some require the spirits to see. There is one under a bridge to the right in the dock part of the forest, when it first starts raining. That's all that's coming to mind right now, but they've helped me learn some lore and piece things together. I would recommend just going through and watching all of the cutscenes.
- the little tunnel in isle when you firs enter
- all spirit cutscenes in isle has murals
- murals on a ramp in isle upon lighting up candles
- murals in isle temple
- murals in the towers in birds nest, prairie
- murals by the first area of forest upon entering the gate
- murals under a bridge in the first gated area
- murals in ark
that’s all i can think of at the top of my head
You were way better at this than I lol
i really scoured the game when i got into lore 
haha im just starting with friend so we starting with the murals
im gonna watch all cut scenes soon
when im bored bc all constellations 😠 done
Mural in ark's cave
i wonder how to keep flying steadily after being swept by the storm in wasteland...
you mean the whirlwind at the start? it's probably best to try and hit the sand as soon as possible
yes
you can seemingly skip the blackout cutscene if you land far enough away or on top of a stone structure, but you can still actually trigger the blackout scene if you land on the sand in certain areas -- better to get it out of the way so it doesn't disorientate you later
thanks, I once accidentally managed to fly and reached the stone structure and never succeeded since then lol
i'm not sure exactly what variables are taken into account, but i suspect where you jump into the cyclone/how you're flung around factors in a bit
i've gone on some very different trajectories even though i've never touched the screen after getting pulled in
oh yes and I feel harder to change my heading even though i pull it hard😂
Hmm I wonder where lore discussion went
I can’t find it anywhere 
dang i went through the "search" and looked at murals and i need to look at a lot to understand lore LOL
Ehh u won’t find much
Try reading the pins first and looking at the stuff in the live-streams
There is no current figured out story of the game and no one rlly knows it so the best thing you can do it jus make ur own story out of the stuff u see
Oh and read the intro cutscene
It’s the most important thing we have rn
yes yes my friend and i are going through the murals rn but we alwasy call sky children golems LMAO
oh Snapple
U jus started sky 😳
Oh
we both are basically done with our constellations so we are looking into the murals and cutscenes more
Well, a lot of ppl ignore it
Bc of all the vague story telling, most ppl think the story is jus about a skykid going nyooom with friends
yea i was always very confused when i started with the intro storyline but then it continue much
oh no i understood it but after when the story telling kind of fades off i was lost haha
thank youusss
Can I ask a question? On Golden wasteland it seem to have alot of giant bone sticking out... What creature is that. Is it the krill?
probably whales?
I feel so out of touch with Sky lately,,,, is this the seasonal-holiday effect? 
I can't wait for the next season to come up with theories and stuff
We... need...to hydrate... yes. That's clearly it
@crisp arch hmm .... Flying whales?
what?
Aren't clouds made of evaporated water or something? Maybe all those super small water droplets reflect the sun's light, so touching them will recharge us
Maybe they recharge us via mechanics similar to friends. If we get close, they reflect our light directly back at us, preventing us from losing light that's being naturally generated by our passengers
because this light would normally be lost to the open world, being near such a reflective surface has a net positive on our light storage
the cloud in dark places like wasteland still recharge us i think
Shouldn't the sun give us recharge
Shouldn't the sun give us recharge
@mild lark yeah but the clouds reflect the energy of the sun and its too far away anyways
that moment when u studied climate and still forgot about clouds
yeah they absorb heat
you could argue that the clouds might store some of the sun's UV rays or light like a glow-in-the-dark material, but that might be reading a bit too much into it when light can seemingly form physical matter in the game
i have a feeling skykids are human tbh. more specifically, they may not be made of flesh n bones but rather clouds or some paradise associated things
they're considerably more durable than us in some ways, considering how they can still get up and walk after being battered around so badly
tbh i think they’re made of clay
especially since devs said they used fired clay to make sound effects for the skykids interacting with objects
iirc
don’t quote me on that
ah, that gives a bit more context to why i saw people theorising that they're clay dolls -- though i thought clay and water generally don't mix well
So this is kinda a noob question and I’m probably interrupting something, but I gotta know, what genders are the twins? I’ve always assumed that one was male and the other female but I just wanted to make sure before I seem like a bigger idiot than I already do
one is male and one is female
which is which ? that’s for u to decide
personally i think they like pretending to be the other gender and confusing the other elders because fred and george energy
i'm actually not sure if we've got an explicit confirmation on that, do we? though that seems to be the common assumption that they're one of each, yeah
i think we did i just don’t remember when
Because I saw a fanart Someone made where they both were very muscly men and I was like “wait what”
i mean, it’s ok if people have their headcanons
Yeah
i thought they were brothers at first lol
People can do and think what they want
I’m just making an assumption based on hair
XD
lol
also @orchid crypt i don’t understand your water and clay comment
if it’s fired clay it’s resistant to water
ah, that would make more sense -- i was thinking it'd be of a more muddy consistency since they can actually bend their limbs
i mean, if these are magic light creatures i wouldn’t put it past them to be able to move
a lot of real life physics doesn't apply here with how things are, yeah 
yeah sjdjdhhf
the clouds may just have special properties
certain types of water can hurt you,
so maybe the clouds are an example of restorative water
Can I ask a question? On Golden wasteland it seem to have alot of giant bone sticking out... What creature is that. Is it the krill?
@mild lark
probably whales?
@crisp arch the ribcages and skulls in graveyard golden wasteland don't match any creature in sky we know of; and they certainly don't match the ribcages of the whales (the forest ribcage is structured differently)
I guess so
i have a feeling skykids are human tbh. more specifically, they may not be made of flesh n bones but rather clouds or some paradise associated things
@sinful anvil if the intro is anything to go off, we're made of stardust or solid light
I just said that cuz they're the biggest animal we've seen so far
one is male and one is female
which is which ? that’s for u to decide
personally i think they like pretending to be the other gender and confusing the other elders because fred and george energy
@lethal stump
i'm actually not sure if we've got an explicit confirmation on that, do we? though that seems to be the common assumption that they're one of each, yeah
@orchid crypt there was a live stream where they addressed this very question and I think they said they're F and M but also neither? I'm not sure if it's in my canon doc or not
i mean, does it matter ? they’re cool, that’s what matters 
We shouldn't put human standard to spiritual being...
Yo i wanna ask is there a way for us to die faster in eden? I keep getting reborn and i just wanna die
"Elders are very ancient. We don't know their age or birthdays, gender, or if age & gender existed."
That's not the quote I was looking for krill it
Aren't clouds made of evaporated water or something? Maybe all those super small water droplets reflect the sun's light, so touching them will recharge us
@heady sinew
hence my theory on instant recharge potions.
condensed clouds= water
instant recharge potion= 5 candles
condensed clouds in a recharge potion= 5 candles to drink a bottle of water 
sorey im late but i just had to comment-
@burnt dagger holy krill that's great I love it
I don’t understand science but good job
if skykids, elders, spirits, and etc are genderless.. how do they reproduce?? 
that was a strange thing to ask nvm
Like the hands on hip stance?
just think of them like amoeba. if that makes you feel better
or vegetative plants
😎
@ripe turtle there's some canon around this actually, since we know that the elders were always elders and that mantas and jellyfish just come into existence from ambient light when bells are rung, and there's bells ringing when we approach the gate in orbit; it's a good bet that they don't reproduce
instead they're made either naturally or manufactured from light
The megabird probably does this intentionally, and the nest (in praire) does this unintentionally
Is the elders immortal?
Immortal? Probably yes; invulnerable? No
I just really want to know what creature that died at the battlefield....
Alot of bones
And huge
@mild lark maybe thoes larva?
o
Hmm
Or maybe got attacked by krill when the battle is over
Yeah that a possiblity
There is that one glowing stone in forest when you enter the underground area what does that glowing stone means? I know there where people who've talked about it but I forgot it..
Probably a diamond
maybe the underground is accessible because they farmed it for diamonds to put in the diamond factory
could explain the jars and different entry points/exits/ doors
spirit have eyes that looked like diamonds. meanwhile we are flat-faced
Man, I didnt realize that
Kinda personal but I like the idea that sky kids, elders and spirits have no natural gender. At most, they choose their presentation from the tools provided to them, and no one can be hard on them for their choices.
Plus, there's something special about having the same gender as my sky kid (a big
)
to be no gender and every gender, thats so cool
Glasses have been around in human history for a really long time.
Also guys I've been meaning to ask but..
Other than this shot in game and this concept art, do we truly know what the Megabird actually looks like?

Gotcha
@hushed steeple you might want to remove yours as well 
Oh ya thanks for reminding
Today, tgc has released a video with the artist. They mention that the realms are design with 3 themes: stage of lifes, stages of a day and civilization progress. I didn't know about the civilization part and was wondering if someone has written something about that or could explain me how that works
ive seen ||the office|| and some objects that exist in the real world (like pots, boats). i thought these are there just to look pretty
@hollow turtle home looks like Stonehenge ig thats where we start
now thinking about it they lowkey show human civilization progress? at the start we make pottery and travel by boat, and those pots and boats dont look modern as today. then in valley of triumph we start to see our era in them. golden wasteland reminds me of warnings of climate change and over-influence of human activity
This has nothing to do with anything but the valley of triumph more like valley of downward spiral constellation looks like hockey sticks and I think that’s really neat
starting to see a bit connections in this and history of progress by ronald wright (going more academic here), who argues civilization progress is accelerating and we need to be careful to not accelerate beyond nature’s capability to recover. in sky the golden wasteland can b interpreted that way perhaps
its kinda hard but from realm to realm we can see progress of civilization. at first it’s pots and boats, and then some recognizable items (like ||the office||). then perhaps bc of overconsumption n overproducing, we have golden wasteland
(but even wasteland has ancient looking boats, and the realms dont look into speed of progress)
maybe the theme of civilization is looking into the past like hollow knight (archaeology wink wink)
isle of dawn: practically barren with no buildings (if you ignore the temple)
daylight prairie: structures reminiscent of windmills, elder shown bottling a butterfly
hidden forest: clear signs of technology at the temple
valley of triumph: almost looks roman in architecture, celebrating sporting events in a large stadium (civilisation advanced far enough for some pretty big scale buildings and pastimes)
golden wastelands: signs of war (i.e. technology developed to fight) as well as industrial pollution (metalworking with the pipes?)
vault: seemingly some kind of mystical technology to make projections and elevators, seems very interested in documenting history
i had to bend the reading a bit to suit the "progressing civilisation" idea, but i guess you can kind of say it's there: they definitely built up into something quite grand at the valley of triumph, before something went horribly wrong at golden wasteland
wowow thank you for all these answers, such a cool community ^^
the vault is so fitting at the end before eden ... some humans think its important to leave relics of the past for the future to look over
that idea of leaving behind a relic of some kind also matches quite well with human desires in old age
then what’s the symbolism of eden? why is it such a huge door? why is it the last level as if it is a culmination?
i think it must be the breaking point. that civilization went so devastating & vulnerable
some golden wastelands items reminds of wwI, and yeah, all those metal pipes, and the shipwreck relates to what @sinful anvil said about Ronald Wright
eden almost felt like a reckoning to me: something about the gigantic door and the climb up a huge mountain made me think of greek mythology for a moment
the problem is the realms dont capture progress v well. they’re just like different stages
one can make a thesis paper out of this
there's a lot of interpretations we can make, yeah, but i'm not sure we can say most of these are accurate to what the actual lore is
I personally feel like Vault was futuristic, like, I wouldn't have been surprised if I saw a gigant computer screen somewhere, even, we can travel to the Office there. Also, maybe tgc idea of progress includes that search and protection for knowledge
vault pretty much jumped straight past computer screens and went with projections, the way it felt to me
like they didn't need monitors, they could do holograms
gosh i thought this game is gonna be all about nature but they also worked modernity into this. sky god-children exploring modern civilization, thats beautiful
there's a lot of interpretations we can make, yeah, but i'm not sure we can say most of these are accurate to what the actual lore is
@orchid crypt I agree with you, but I feel that those are different/parallel things: in one hand, all that lore and in the other hand, all the subtle themes of stages
maybe tgc idea of progress includes that search and protection for knowledge
that's kind of how things feel in the real world now: we're still trying to develop new kinds of machines and the like, but "technology" nowadays is more about the pursuit of knowledge than it is the creation of physical tools, if that makes sense?
it went from physical to mental
like a few centuries ago, it'd be about which civilisations have managed to harness fuel to make cars run, and then who could build the best planes; now everything's a lot more about intangible knowledge (particularly programming and internet-related capabilities)
as civilization grew so did quest for knowledge. as quest for knowledge grew the opposite went for technological items’ physical size
thats what i was under the impression of
i guess growing civilisations are always pursuing new knowledge, but the kinds of tools they make with that knowledge has definitely changed over time
also, I don't control to much of the lore, but iirc the black rocks technology that started developing in the hidden forest (quite rudimentary in the first map, and more developed in the bridge and the temple) was the leading motive of the sky world decay. So, we are reliving the progress (Valley) and slow decay (Wasteland) until the climax of the destruction (Eden). So, could the Vault be... like a Noe's Ark?
so, my understanding of the happenings:
- the planet and the sky used to be unified and the star people could come and go as they pleased...
- ...until the king did a Big Bad in eden (see the mural where he eats the "apple"), related to the light energy/crystals. as those are power sources, the metaphorical meaning is that the king valued power more than human connection, which would absolutely lead to downfall in this world
*this may or may not be the trigger for the "darkness" as well? and a war??? unclear. either way, i think the "eating of the apple" was the catalyst for nearly all implied unrest in the game - or the reverse - the darkness came and the king thought it was the best course of action/a good excuse to do the bad. either way:
- the children of light are stars that got trapped down on the planet due to the king's actions. you are one of the stars and you have been sent down to bring the other kids home (like a fallen angel, sort of, or an angel disguised as a human)
- when you sacrifice all your winged lights at the end of eden, you also sacrifice your own, leaving only your dark half. thus, the kid you hug at the end is yourself! you also need your dark half to physically manifest in a way that matters. kinda like that whole original sin thing in Christianity
it'd add more meaning to why it's called "Vault" then -- they're trying to protect things from being lost
i've yet to check out the murals properly, but now that you mention it, sounds like they might contain a lot of extra detail i've been overlooking
i was actually thinking of the forgotten ark rather than vault, lol.
though on your second last point: my understanding is that we're a separate kind of being known as "sky kids", while the winged lights we've been collecting are "imprints of a child of light", according to the devs at one point...there's some kind of distinction, though i don't know what it means
yeah! my theory is this:
You are one of the "imprints" who's still in heaven/orbit before the game starts. you have to be corrupted with darkness to get the ones trapped down there back, if that makes sense!
i'm not sure if the game makes a distinction between body and soul/spirit, but i've always rolled with the idea that the sky kids' bodies are actually made out of dark matter rather than light -- their skin's quite dark, and it'd make sense in terms of how they're able to "absorb" light
yeah that's exactly what i mean
they don't outwardly look like beings of light if they're damaged to the point that you actually lose your hair
yes!!!!! the "darkness" is the body and they need to have it to have a physical form. skykids are also glowy from the inside! the eyes.
actually, that's an interesting point: the eye glow is supposedly just from the mask
their actual faces seem almost featureless
there's one cosmetic that's like "maskless", and it's just their blank face that you see when you lose all your light
intresting
they dont look like they have mouths :v
they don't, no -- it only occurred to me earlier today that it's probably because we usually can't talk in-game, hence why most communication with other players is done with gestures
a sky kid's birth is a reverse of the sacrifice at the end of the game. you gain darkness (sin) to go down to earth, and then lose light (leaving only your dark half) to save those you can
a sky kid's life is... v sad
i'm kind of wondering whether "darkness" in this game is necessarily evil -- that's a fairly western concept of light and darkness
there's also the yin-yang angle on it, where it's the idea that everything should exist in balance
yeah, that too. i hope that comes up
that'd mean that if both the sky kids and krill are darkness-based creatures, their defining difference is "greed": krills try to take whatever light they can get on animalistic urges (instinctive hunger, maybe?) whereas the sky kids are clearly benign and seem to go around sharing what light they've gathered
so far there's a fair amount of Christian theology in the game, imo, with darkness representing sin and light representing the soul/purity/uncorruption.
the possibility that skykids are darkness (sin) underneath while our actions and choices are for some the opposite is interesting
in journey there was a theory that the guardians were trying to collect your cloth for their long dead masters - i wonder if there's something up with the krills?
you can say we are born of sins yet we can choose to be kind and save as many spirits as we can
yeah ^
oh, about the christian theology thing: there's an excerpt from an old interview which is pretty interesting in that context -- the creator said that he didn't want to make a religious game, even though it's a deeply spiritual experience
ah! i got that vibe. i think religon is a good way of contextualizing the world we have, though, especially considering the whole eden/ressurection/heaven thing
i don't think the lore setting of sky is meant to be based on any one set of cultures, though the architecture itself was from certain parts of asia to evoke a more exotic atmosphere for most people
totally. i'm not dying by the framework i'm giving it, it's just the one that makes the most sense to me.
yeah, i agree that it's a great tool for reading into and breaking down things
krills also seem empty. a skykid has a nice golden light whereas a krill or an ancestor has a blue light. hmmm
HM
yeah now that you mention it, your floating spirit is blue in colour if you're following a friend around in the last part of eden
oooooh
likewise i dont think it is connected to christianity that much but rather we choose to see it. for me its just seeing the opposite things like light and dark, nature and civilization. there are gods but hey doesnt multiple religions do
the krill...almost sound mechanical when they fly over you
and the krill are generally found in wasteland - a strongly industrial looking area
and eden is unrecognizable but there are bits that look like rebar and pipeline
yeah, there're some pretty industrial bits to eden jutting out, and i think that giant red crystal at the end is probably the same kind of thing we saw back in the hidden forest's temple...just much bigger
!!! oooh
whatever it was, it felt like it was a reactor of some kind
the red crystals absorb energy. i wonder if that was like... a way to collect more energy, but it went way wrong?
it'd make sense thematically, yeah; as far back as daylight prairie, we saw them trying to harness light in some way (butterfly put into a jar)
i'm not entirely sure what the dawn elder was doing though, if someone has any ideas on that one 
yes! okay: the king wasn't satisfied even with the immense prosperity of his land and people and wanted more, and thus "ate the apple": created the massive red crystal. but it went wrong - he was abusing the power given to him and asking too much and it destroyed himself and his world
have you heard about the idea of a civil war in golden wasteland?
yeso yeso
someone put forward the idea that the war was between the wasteland elder and the king
hm
well
there are two symbols on the weapons seen
sun and diamond
who was on what side? we don't know
ooooooooh
there was also another theory that it was between naturalists and industrialists
what's the wasteland elder and king one though o; i've never heard of that one
it was based on the idea of how some of the blockades were positioned around the "castle", if we could call it that
looked less like the castle defending itself and more an attack on it
i feel like if you could "end" the game you would destroy the massive red crystal
it makes me wonder if that's what the earlier sky kid statues were trying to do: why else would we have found some statues so far out towards the crystal?
i think that's the light kids that tried to make it back to orbit, but as they collected darkness they got stuck there?
@gray bridge i forgot one very critical point to the idea about a civil war between the wasteland elder and the king: in some concept art, there're notes depicting him as a "corrupted king"
but that also makes sense
oooh: dark stone important
butterflies yellow, wl yellow, stones/ancestors blue.
and a red stone is a oneup from a blue stone and closer to yellow on the color wheel, but like, bad
we obviously can't take a lot of the stuff in the old concept art as absolute canon since they may have been revised, but the king's character design still exists as a statue in-game
huh so the 'castle' in wasteland is where the king was?
so what's the floaty structure in orbit o:
with the theory i was reading, no: the king resided at eden i believe
i don't think the lore setting of sky is meant to be based on any one set of cultures, though the architecture itself was from certain parts of asia to evoke a more exotic atmosphere for most people
@orchid crypt
The architecture is from Tibet, Bauthan (?) :3
the castle would've probably been commanded by the wasteland elder as one of his "knights", you could say, but the belief is that they turned on each other
yeah, i couldn't remember the exact location the architecture was taken from without reading the whole article
i just remembered that that was the one specific thing mentioned as direct inspiration, while the lore was meant to draw from a wider range of influences
yeah, staying solely christian is not right but it's the best framework i have
i can also see it as a fight between chaos and order as in ancient egypt, where red is the color of death?
red does seem to imply danger in sky, yeah, between the crystals and the alert phase of the krills
many candles are also red though
i wouldn't read too far into it though, as in, red candles are still perfectly safe
but red has the implication in many other works, so lol
let's just say red is a symbol of multiple things in sky
sky feels like a fight against entropy and apathy
i can also see the focus on Resurrection/coming back as a Buddhism thing. it's not "eternal life" as a christian thing but a cycle
ultimately getting too detailed with the lore defeats the point; thatgamecompany tells stories in wide, sweeping strokes, and it's about the overarching message, not the little things.
i think that's a result of good storytelling (to me), that we get so invested and crave for answers we ultimately don't need
like... ahhhh i need to use my translator again
Sorta like with Freddy's story.
It's told the same way Sky is doing it.
Wide strokes.
with such wide gaps, naturally we'd want to fill it. who said we couldn't? and curiosity and intrigue is natural. so i do think it is completely fine that we can try to fill them as much as we can, although there are really endless possibilities. after all, it's the result of our engagement with the story sky has given to us. it doesn't leave us so confused until we just dismiss it as almost plot-less and 'lAzY sToRyTeLliNg' but instead, the story is a wider painting we view from afar, but can't see the small details. we still appreciate it - we just wish we could get closer.
man my brain at 1 am... thanks for coming to my ted talk if you read all that
damn those some true words tho
Truest words tbh.
All came from light. Eden was like the center of light or something. The other elders took the light from eden to create their realms and stuff. Eden elder tried to make more light but uh darkness and they had to send the realms into the clouds. The elders thought they were safe but darkness spread and the realms fell. The skykid is living a previous life before the realms died h (Orbit is heaven)
The spirits were just villagers that fled to other realms
You don’t have to use spoilers in here, but thanks for being mindful!
oh wh- no need to spoiler tag?
It's lore, no need!
Nope
Oh ok
Not here! Hence the spoilers part of #lore-discussion-spoilers
Time to edit--
It lets people know that this channel has spoilers in it that are being discussed freely 
Lovely
Your name lol
h
So who says skykids aren't just reborn spirits who lived so long they forgot who they are
Eden reminds me of a nuclear power plant meltdown
Nvm then
They’re not the same “species,” for lack of a better word, at all
oh 
The chunks of rock falling like graphite and concrete
Subspecies i heard?
Lotsa theories gone awry w that sentence
ye lmao
Hage, the author of the doc, used subspecies as a descriptor but the devs didn’t use it
Aliens inhabiting after a spiecies died out it is then
All notes are Hage’s comments and aren’t by the devs
Basically
For me like skykids have to keep living a previous life and dying and reborn everytime 
but eh
For me like skykids have to keep living a previous life and dying and reborn everytime
@opaque mango they can never feel peace can't they
Maybe not extra terrestrials but hard to say how exactly star kids reached the world of Sky
the spirits when they became spirits (d e a d), they lived in darkness until the skykid relieved their memories (The spirits couldnt go to orbit)
Maybe some mixture of whatever the spirits were combined with other species
The Eye of Eden is the roots of all the corruption, destruction and evil that later on went further and further to infect more realms until they infected the minds of the people apart of the ancient civilization which caused an internal, violent civil war that would be the total destruction of the civilization and it's people's.
my brain awake at 1 am i
I know there’s a theory that skykids were specifically created by some entity, perhaps the megabird, to save the spirits or so
In a way I feel like we're the aliens looking at the memories of that robot kid from the movie Artificial Intelligence (A.I.)
It could also be that sky kids were engineered by the spirits race via some technology
There’s another one that skykids are the reincarnation of the Eden elder and/or king
But engineered primitive and designed to evolve into what we see now
There was eden elder, but they died and is the shiny boi you hug when you die before orbit timeee
The temple was prob around the point of no return?
This theory is based on the fact that the devs said that skykids have some sort of connection to the Child of Light
It could also be that sky kids were engineered by the spirits race via some technology
@gray rivet honestly wouldn't be surprised
Some think the child of light is the king and/or Eden elder
But we don’t know for sure
i feel bad for eden elder with my theory h
I doubt the spirits engineered skykids though
If anything, it would be the elders or higher beings
skykids are elders of homespace
Isn't child of light (winged light) just dead statues from Eden but with their soul released?
the statues are dead skykids
The devs have mentioned this child of light in the live-streams before
It’s interesting that sky kids can use spirits tech though 🤷♂️
Winged light are imprints of the child of light. Singular child of light
The statues ARE dead skykids, that is true.
The shiny bois you get maybe the skykids are the shiny bois but like wearing stuff
The canon lore doc is pretty interesting to read through

It’s also really short 
Where can I find that canon info?
In the pins here!
Ah right
though on your second last point: my understanding is that we're a separate kind of being known as "sky kids", while the winged lights we've been collecting are "imprints of a child of light", according to the devs at one point...there's some kind of distinction, though i don't know what it means
@orchid crypt the sky kids are also referred to as children of light occasionally by the devs; I think CoL refers to all the children of the megabird
The tragic past of any seasonal spirit
Fun
Hi Hage!
Enchantment:
The lights powered the boat and the shops, they were traders ready to sell their stuff
the boat crashed, the lights went yeet the enchantment spirits had to live in ark and died
Ironically enough, despite my name
I do not spend a lot of time in this forum
This is fun
It is
Nah, I think it was more than an accident, azreel.

They did farm and set up a life there
Death?
S p i r i t s
Ye
Only one I really remeber seeing dying is those in the cave in the forrest (crying emote)
Yes
Truly, that realm is a very important place, it served as the trade hub of the ancient civilization, so in the civil war there was a annihilating battle which wiped out many lives.
So like deaths deaths aren't my special
Mining trip went wrong 
Faint spirit is dying
Interesting in the lore it says “Now we call to you” after “if only they had listened”. Is it possible that sky kids are in fact a contingency to any potential disaster for the spirit race
I think faint died from a krill injury h
I think faint spirit is actually a death. The spirit is wounded, probably fatally
im not alone with that theory
No, the faint spirit is playing dead to protect himself from danger.
Interesting in the lore it says “Now we call to you” after “if only they had listened”. Is it possible that sky kids are in fact a contingency to any potential disaster for the spirit race
@gray rivet poor them if they count on people who yeet themselves at krills
I think the they had listened the they are the elders
Agreed
@hushed steeple thats another theory ive heard too
But playing dead didn't work, and he, ironically, died as a cause of foolishly playing dead.
wasteland water drowned!1!1!!
It was killed!!!!!
It’s a tale of a self inflicted apocalypse I believe
In what realm do you find that playing dead spirit again?
Wasteland
Cower is hiding from krill
First area on the far left
It got killed by a krill
Wasteland hiding spirit tho
They were so scared for their life...
With the sky kids as a contingency to continue on in some form
Skykids aren’t spirits
@cold steppe to be specific the devs said that sky kids weren’t elders, the spirits weren’t mentioned
The shiny bois that give you winged light actually belong to the statues in eden AKA dead skykids
Oh fair
Again poor contingency when all we do is nap, play tag and be reborn
🤣
Wh-
That’s interesting then
Maybe it’s less contingency and more like a museum of memory
i deleted that lol
So that the spirits could have a way to never be forgotten
Also, for the cowering spirit, he was travelling or something, got detected by a krill, so he had to hide while being absolutely horrified of the krill and while he absolutely did not want to die. But, the krill found him while he was vulnerable, and he got killed.
Maybe it’s less contingency and more like a museum of memory
@gray rivet now that
Would make a lot of sense
They are replayed memories like holograms
And everything is in ruins
NOOOOOO BABEY
So that the next civilization doesn’t make the same mistakes??
Valley looked like roman empire thoo
Also, for the cowering spirit, he was travelling or something, got detected by a krill, so he had to hide while being absolutely horrified of the krill and while he absolutely did not want to die. But, the krill found him while he was vulnerable, and he got killed.
@hushed steeple again
Fist time I saw that I just wanted to hug them poor dear
2 am!!1!1!
So that the next civilization doesn’t make the same mistakes??
@gray rivet maybe they are just so far off from it is as museums today but interactive
Also, I do think this ancient civilization was very advanced, it might have even been a powerful empire.
I know there’s a theory that skykids were specifically created by some entity, perhaps the megabird, to save the spirits or so
{Wren}#4130
As someone that’s looked at all the lore this is what I bet
2 am!!1!1!
@opaque mango Areel
Sneep
Orbit is where light came from
Exactly @steel wigeon
I CANT SNEEP HHH-
I also agree with the megabird creation theory
It was also a very strong part of the story in the concepts
@hushed steeple yeah but they wanted more light and u h
And a sort of technology
I CANT SNEEP HHH-
@opaque mango try!
i tried just now
Winged light are imprints of the child of light. Singular child of light
@cold steppe actually they use singular and plural in two different videos, it confused mochi and I a lot

It was also a very strong part of the story in the concepts
@cold steppe instert me trying to remember what the megabirb is
Megabird??
Hi Hage!
@cold steppe also hi! May the megabird’s blessings be upon you
The cape has 2 layers
The top layer is the colour and stuff
Bottom layer is the light
thats why when you lose light it turn white

the cape is made of light i thinkk
I forgot what a megabird is again pls help
The cape has 2 layers
The top layer is the colour and stuff
Bottom layer is the light
thats why when you lose light it turn white![]()
the cape is made of light i thinkk
@opaque mango the outer darker side as camouflage and inner light to keep you sane
Wait since founders cape under is black when you get krilled will it turn black?
Replace sane with safe or power up and yes
skykids use echolocation idk if they actually have eyes or its just a mask
No but capes as camouflage does makes sense
Especially the white and black ones
Ahhh there are capes with dark inside however all the under clothes are white I believe
Certainly all the ones from the main story line
I gotta
do i delete it lol
Nah nah
o
isnt there an ark krill
@opaque mango my personal interpretation of the ark murals is
« here’s how our society worked »
« Then the storm happened and after the storm krill came »
Ark krill is babey
Nobody:
Me: haha theory go yeet
Exactly what I got
Ark krill isnt like other krills i heard? like they dont notice skykids alot??
Nobody:
Me: haha theory go yeet
@opaque mango that is our job my dear
That is our job
i like it
And also it seems there was building and rebuilding of something in the ark
Ark krill isnt like other krills i heard? like they dont notice skykids alot??
@opaque mango i mean u gotta get to it first
It leaves you alone if you leave it alone
The spirits sold capes and stuff like cosmetics whichiscapessouhyeah
And they died with it
@opaque mango i mean u gotta get to it first
It leaves you alone if you leave it alone
@steel wigeon so its a nice krill? i dont think ive met it before
Ah yes
The spirits being dead loans sharks
Hey, i'm new here, may i ask what is Ark Krill?
@steel wigeon so its a nice krill? i dont think ive met it before
@opaque mango it will yeet if you touchie but otherwise is cool they say
Maybe the krill has been tamed by enchantment spirits
I don’t see it as selling though. It’s more like trading with light as a currency
I know, i mean, is there is a Krill in Ark? I've never seen it before
Hey, i'm new here, may i ask what is Ark Krill?
@tender oasis krill you see when you look behind you when you get to the ark
Behind boat
Yes, it’s near the beginning where the boat comes into ark
It’s somewhat hard to see if you’re not looking for it
You can get krilled by it if you try
Babey krill
I forgot what a megabird is again pls help
@opaque mango the megabird is widely believed to be a demigod of Sky, the creator of Sky Kids and the Elders (possibly not the spirits), a Hivemînd of souls, the ball of light we fly into in the ascent, Orbit is inside the megabird
now my headcanon is also that the megabird is: the reason behind constellation barriers, and that winged lights are probably like megabird feathers
The one that flying near building?
I wanna pet it but apparently it still hugs
Yes you can
winged light are megabirb feathers?
I though it was the wasteland krill from far before
sAM E

@hollow pier honestly megabirb scares me a bit
I though it was the wasteland krill from far before
@tender oasis so did I but apparently you CAN fly up to it
Search it on yt
Kind of a lovecraftian thing almost
Megabird was the first creature that came from the light
the other creatures are descendants (except for dark creatures, they came from dark)
@tender oasis so did I but apparently you CAN fly up to it
@steel wigeon
I see, i will try it tonight
Gl
An ever present deity that you cannot even see with power beyond imagination
Thanks for telling me
@steel wigeon
I see, i will try it tonight
@tender oasis do say results
Wasteland theory!1!!1!
The bones in graveyard are a different creature, prob guarding wasteland but krill exists
in beta, wasteland was called shores of manna. for me that its what its called before it became a wasteland-
I think that’s definitely true
I am not saying they are whale bones but I am not sayi g they aren't
h this keeps me very awake i like it
And i see some creature like an appa from avatar the legend of aang in top of vault, i thought it was Mantas before, but when i saw it twice it's not, anyone know about this creature?
Because the bones there CLEARLY aren’t all krill
@tender oasis do say results
@steel wigeon
Wish me luck
Attack on wasteland-
The giant flying thing is the whale
@steel wigeon
Wish me luck
@tender oasis you will most likely need it so have all the luck you can
It’s in Forest underground caverns and in the area between Valley and Wasteland as well
And i see some creature like an appa from avatar the legend of aang in top of vault, i thought it was Mantas before, but when i saw it twice it's not, anyone know about this creature?
@tender oasis whale
winged light are megabirb feathers?
@opaque mango this isn’t canon but to me it makes a lot of sense because it explains why we have a connection to the CoL that left them, why they’re always in the same spot, why they SING, and why when « plucked » they still recharge us
Some of those bones could be whales for sure
It’s in Forest underground caverns and in the area between Valley and Wasteland as well
@cold steppe eden too technically
Forest cavern looks like a place to escape from all those rain
I edited to say as well 
@tender oasis whale
@steel wigeon
I see
Some of them look almost like dragons bones or something
Since V said they saw it in eden
s o m e
Maybe the unknown bones are like ancestor whales? idk
@tender oasis you will most likely need it so have all the luck you can
@steel wigeon
I will 😂
gl with ark krill
And i see some creature like an appa from avatar the legend of aang in top of vault, i thought it was Mantas before, but when i saw it twice it's not, anyone know about this creature?
@tender oasis that floor of vault represents wasteland so there’s a high likelihood that the cosmic whale is an uncorrupted krill
Could be older species of whale like creatures
Just because they look like they aren't real doesn't meant they are a fake krill
Oh wait I see now
Orcas-
The giant cosmic manta thing in Vault?
ik they arent in sky
Is that what they’re talking about?
Yeah it is
Ahh yeah. Not the gray whale
The elders vibing in the elder room tho
Ahhhh
I mean those mantas are technically either spirits or star born mantas
gl with ark krill
@opaque mango
Wish i can take an photo or video of it
That creature looks very much like a sea slug species
@tender oasis that floor of vault represents wasteland so there’s a high likelihood that the cosmic whale is an uncorrupted krill
@hollow pier
I see
The one up high in vault
Krills live in polluted places
they prob attacked vault but there wasnt enough pollution hh
vault has all the lore in it hahahahhahah-
I mean those mantas are technically either spirits or star born mantas
@steel wigeon or projections
@opaque mango
Wish i can take an photo or video of it
@tender oasis you can
There is an pic and video option in sky in the bottom right corner below flight
The whole vault is clearly tech
@steel wigeon or projections
@hollow pier honestly they all could be
And im vibing in my bed under my blanket
@tender oasis you can
There is an pic and video option in sky in the bottom right corner below flight
@steel wigeon
Is it? Thanks, i dunno before
@tender oasis thé buttons are hidden until you tap the very bottom right of the screen
Yeah you click it like you would to check candles and there is an camera icon
icon*
@opaque mango this isn’t canon but to me it makes a lot of sense because it explains why we have a connection to the CoL that left them, why they’re always in the same spot, why they SING, and why when « plucked » they still recharge us
@hollow pier
Wait, they sing?
honk..?
You know the brilliance behind the lore of sky is that it can be interpreted many ways and still work
@tender oasis thé buttons are hidden until you tap the very bottom right of the screen
@hollow pier
Okay, thankss
The whole vault is clearly tech
@gray rivet what if it is all a game
And yes it is a game but like VR
Like a VR museum
all came from megabirb

The noise winged light make when you collect
WINGED LIGHT SING it’s fantastic each winged light has its own unique non repeating song they make this noise not when you collect them but when you vibe next to them WITHOUT collecting
Mby skykids just can't read
The noise winged light make when you collect
@cold steppe
I see
It’s a soft hummmmoooooaaaaa
(edited)
They each make the same noise when you collect them
Interesting
I mean the platform in vault and the puzzles to proceed are clearly technology. The clear mantas and the giant sea slug dude could very well be projections. The constellations shown on the walls are very obviously projections
Shows a very high level of intelligence
The devs have said that Vault was created to be dream-like, so it’s not clear if it’s technology or memories of sorts
Anyway as my deleted msgs said
Gtg to study
Lovely talking to you bye bye
“[Vault] becomes like a dreamlike journey (...)” question: how does the elevator work “(...) left it up to interpretation (...) is it real? Is it a dream? Well later in the level we do have something to hint at that” from the livestream with the Vault’s dev Atlas
“I wanted to make Vault kinda like a dream or memory and the memory is not like things in the real world and the memory is not isolated from the real world. The world in other levels. And you can kind of see connection between that and that.” Atlas talks about the manta shout as an example “and they [the mantas] also gives you a hint about that." then Robert says “So the mystery remains”
Technology/magic maybe but the levitating platform has to be technology
Also bless Hage for the document
bye lore
The hint that atlas talks about, the manta call indicates that vault is real
Bye Lore
They talked about like the way crabs walk
There’s even a cutscene to show it has a form of propulsion
vault is a tiny mall
I guess i will do some research about the mantas, whale, krills, ancestor, and the vault 😂
Reminds me of bloodborne or dark souls lore
This is the worst time to be awake
Some of the best in video game history
but here i am
When Robert says « the mystery remains » I think he’s talking about how the elevator works because that was the previous question in the Q&A and it didn’t get answered @cold steppe
This is the worst time to be awake
@opaque mango
Same, in my time it's the worst time to awake 😂
I think but I could be wrong
So the Vault is most likely real?
I always thought the vault was contained in like a 2 way pocket dimension.
Vault is most likely real
But if it is real, then it's most likely in some kind of pocket dimension.
Vault from outside looked a tower, wasnt it called tower in previous versions
My best guess and personal headcanon is what @drifting heart just mentioned
Considering the higher you go the larger the rooms are.
You can see a cutscene of the elevator lifting out of the ground though by what appears to be some form of energy
I was thinking that perhaps the first few levels of Vault were “real” and the rest were a sort of dream (the levels with the stars) since the last level of Vault can be seen in Eden, which could be the actual summit of Vault
Don’t know for sure though
A crystal surrounded in something like electricity
Pocket dimension could definitely explain it too
Well technically Lou we sorta have a possible way the crystals work.
That makes sense
Because about halfway up there is no more structure that isn’t defying the laws of physics
A crystal surrounded in something like electricity
@gray rivet
And we can see crystal in every map to open door or something, so maybe the crystal is like an electric system in sky?
What about the lanterns in each realm? they are different
like does each design represent the realm and stuff?
It could also be a magnified form of solar power.
I think lanterns are a sky kid thing
Lanterns in forest are nice
My theory, in more detail, is that Vault isn’t a tower it’s a gateway into a pocket dimension that’s replicating the elder cutscenes (which are confirmed to exist outside time and space, aka pocket dimension, while still affecting the real world) and that the first floor of Vault and the floor of Vault that leads to Eden (after meeting the elder) are GATEWAYS into Vault
I think the lanterns maybe built by sky kids who came before us
There is eden gate at vault rite? maybe the darkness came from there, spread to each realm, causing them to fall?
Why skykids and not spirits?
They're pulverized butterflies.
@drifting heart they’re powered by pulverised butterflies but made from trees in forest
@gray rivet a n c e s t o r s ?
I think the lanterns maybe built by sky kids who came before us
@gray rivet
And maybe they put the crystal too?
Ah right.
forest with no leaves
The crystals/darkstones/power diamonds are all made by the ancestors
Actually that would make sense with the level of the vault (after the first two floors) being a pocket dimension.
There is eden gate at vault rite? maybe the darkness came from there, spread to each realm, causing them to fall?
@opaque mango
Maybe they keep it before and somehow it's break and caused it?
Wait that means..
Maybe. But more likely just other sky kids on the way through the game world. Leaving them like bread crumbs and gifts of light like little oasis
Are the ancestors the elders?
If the vault is a pocket dimension, and we know the cutscenes of the elders exist outside time and space..
Ancestors=spirits
I know the concept art called them ancestors
Then that means we don't go anywhere special for vault mom.
We're still in the Vault.
my sisters theory: The rain absorb cape energy from the skykids. when evaporated into clouds, the skykids that go into the clouds can get more cape energy.
Are the ancestors the elders?
@cold steppe i think yea
I always saw the rain like how it would effect a moth in our own universe kinda
I know the concept art called them ancestors
@cold steppe That's old beta concept art, ancestors refer to the spirits we help out.
We're still in the Vault.
@drifting heart
Whattt 😶
@drifting heart I know. I wasn’t sure if it was changed later or not
@tender oasis There's a big theory that the Vault is a pocket dimension, and the elder cutscenes also happen in pocket dimensions. So that means with Vault Momma, we never left the vault's pocket dimension to go to Vault Mom's pocket dimension; instead we're taken to another part of the vault.
We're still in the Vault.
@drifting heart pocket dimension inside a pocket dimension? Idk
That also I guess brings up the possibility that we are descended from the spirits
Not sure @opaque mango
@tender oasis There's a big theory that the Vault is a pocket dimension, and the elder cutscenes also happen in pocket dimensions. So that means with Vault Momma, we never left the vault's pocket dimension to go to Vault Mom's pocket dimension; instead we're taken to another part of the vault.
@drifting heart
I see, thanks for clearing it
It's just a different piece.
imma just
@cold steppe sometimes the best answer is the most obvious. We wear their clothes and use their technology
eden elder in vault?
o h
I personally think that the elders cutscenes happen within personal pocket dimensions, and that’s where we hug the light boi (or collect one winged light) when we die
@gray rivet that could definitely make sense because we also mimic them
8 pillars? the elders?
Though technically we can also wear the elders’ hair
So it’d still work I think for us to travel from a manufactured dimension to a personal one
I like that Hage, but in my eyes it'd make more sense that Vault Mom's dimension isn't a personal small dimension.
But rather the entire VAULT is her dimension.
Maybe i will go to watch all cutscene after try meet Ark Krill
@opaque mango what is that figure holding??? A planet???????
vault is interesting tbh
Ark krill is nice. Just chills unless you mess with it
maybe light?
I never noticed that
So i can make another theory
Ark krill is nice. Just chills unless you mess with it
@cold steppe
I wanna pet it😂
8 pillars? so there was an eden elder but like they are not around anymore?
I like this theory, but I think it works better that instead of going somewhere different in vault she just changes the environment around where we’re sitting
Light maybe but I wouldn’t think light would be in the shape of a perfect orb 🤔🤔
Funnily enough V_, there was a massive discussion that the Ark Krill was partially responsible for the Ark's crash.
Maybe it's a piece of the Megabird.
The lights from enchantment were
There’s also 3 orbs on the boat from the isle area in Lightseekers
Funnily enough V_, there was a massive discussion that the Ark Krill was partially responsible for the Ark's crash.
@drifting heart
Well that's interesting
Hmmm right
Isnt orbit like
a o r b it?
@opaque mango what is that figure holding??? A planet???????
@gray rivet a planet of awesome size, lit by no sun, an invisible titan, all thick black forests and jagged mountains and deep, turbulent oceans
orbit is a circle?
I feel so uncultured, is that a reference, Hage?
whats that sorry
Welcome to Night Vale reference haha, and yes I am familiar
Ah, i have to go, i'll join the discussion again after meet my doctor
bye V!!
I have like three HP lovecraft board games 
Byee
From Wikipedia

h m
Is it possible that the mural is an interpretation of a god like figure not literally holding our sky planet but omnipresent
People call orbit orbit because it appears to be above the world of Sky
orbit is sky heaven, also where light came from? its rlly bright
The sun and orbit/the megabird are two different places in the sky
Actually speaking of the Megabird.
I think the megabird floats above the planet in a stationary orbit feeding and thats why there’s the beam of light
We might actually have a full body appearance of the Megabird itself.
Or at least an avatar.
I always thought that beam in the background was Eden.
It is
But anyway, megabird.
The beam is center Ed in eden but not necessarily coming from it
This might actually be its entire body.
At least the beam is coming from Eden
This might actually be its entire body.
@drifting heart that’s canon I think
At first I thought the top were just wings so I thought its body was just massive wings.
Or looks like it’s coming from it
But then I realized that wouldn't make sense.
pheonix? (i forgot how to spell it again h)

thats why we go to orbit!
we’re all going towards a giant ball of lamp
we’re moths from start to finish 
yes
the catch the light quest we have? chasing lamp
getting wax? getting lamp
getting winged light? energy lamps
Darkness absorbs light. Our skin is dark, that's why we are able to absorb it and take it to orbit. Orbit emits the light the world of sky needs to sustain our lifeforms. In order for the world to exist, this light must return to orbit somehow, and that's our mission. If we don't do this we would cease to exist. Maybe the old civilization forgot their true mission and that's why they dissapeared and darkness spread through the Wasteland that used to be Golden.
The light didn't returned to orbit and grew dim. The reason for this was the old civilization inner fights. Instead of helping each other against a hostile environment always in danger to fall to darkness, they fight each other for the light, that is what gives shape to cosmetics and works as fuel for mechanisms.
Cracktheory but if megabirb is source of light, does that make Horizon a nest?
Are we eggs or is that light children?
!krill thatskybot
what's Horizon?
Horizon has become the fandom name for the world of sky
Guysss, whats the most commonly accepted story/theory for the crying spirit?
Is this the place to ask that ¿?
My best guess is that they went into the caves to try to uncover materials for making darkstone or power diamonds, and were trapped in there
Wait in Prarie there is birds nest so could that be megabird nest
yes, so we see them all trying to dig their way out, but darkstone covered their exit (which we burn to get in)
then part collapsed on 2 of them,
a third was consumed by darkstone
we don't actually know what happened to the crying spirit, as her memories don't go that far
i think for the crying spirit its that they saw the two people eating together and cried because they were alone
I wish we could replay the hunters memories again
I wish in vault each floor allwoed you to replay the memorie of the spirits ingabiting that kingdom
the Megabird is what you see in the sky after Eden, and zoom out from in the credits before being reborn
Ahhhh true true I forgot
Thanks a lot 
everything is one in the Megabird, blessed be the light
We are all one and one is us all
they'll always have seasonal passes
the preorder is currently down due to bugs, but TGC has confirmed that they will be back up before the season starts
also, just as a note for the future, questions about the game itself and not the story should go in #questions-and-help 
no worries! 
ok, that's sad
They were the last one in the cave i think
i want to hug crying spirit
same thing here
its a spirit so its dead
lets change the subject before I start crying like him
okay
the spirits when they became spirits (d e a d), they lived in darkness until the skykid relieved their memories (The spirits couldnt go to orbit)
Me at 2 am
I actualy wanter to ask about the wasteland lore. Anyone has any theory about what happened there? And what are/were all those pipes for?
Looked like a factory
the first landscape sure has a structure like it
the ruined temple looks a lot like the hidden forest one
it even has the same golden celling structure
except at the ruins it fell to the ground
Wait how many statues are there
of what?
AZREEL WHY DID U WAKE UP AT 3AM
@elder night go away
what statues?
Because i have a theory that the shiny bois in the realms (80 of them) belong to the statues and the statues are skykids
Then
thats why you give them back
@elder night share your theories here not spam
Eden statues, bluespirit, the one u give ur lights for.
I believe those are called the fallen ones, no?
the eye of the storm
it looks a bit like sauron's eye to me
except it throws debries at me
but ok, GW is industrial. How did it ended up so ruined? No other real is that bad.
*realm
yup
against who, though? the krills?
true
yes, it makes sense
shame they don't show it at the vault cutscene
oh, that would be nice
unfortunatly, I didn't played those 
*the lightseekers
enchantment was the last one, right?
so I played it
I dowloades the game during rithm season
so i didn't get to play lightseekers
It happens
no idea
XD
Any possibilty of new maps 🤔
