I just had another look and I too saw the black bells, perhaps it wasn’t fully implemented earlier
#lore-discussion-spoilers
gray bridge
it's fine 
clear jolt
Was exploring battlefield. I wonder if this is a power crystal
sly kestrel
Probably
clear jolt
Ahh I can't send the image
There's like a diamond shaped pipe on his chest
The thing I'm standing on
hushed steeple
🧇 🍿
swift helm
it's either it's a bug or it's something that hasn't been implemented for everyone yet
@gray bridge its not a bug, just some adjustments and have been tried to beta first
It was a bit confusing for me a bit when i see it in beta🥴
clear jolt
I noticed that the symbol on this shield was a diamond while the symbol on Wasteland elder's shield was a sun.
Who were they fighting with??
hushed steeple
Wasteland elder also used diamond shield
unborn fog
ooh okay so
backstory - wasteland was an industrial place where factories were making power diamonds out of raw materials and sources of light, like the butterflies from prairie and isle
so obviously wasteland is really polluted and wasteland-ish now, that s from the production of the diamonds
hushed steeple
There are butterflies in wasteland too
unborn fog
so the sun, or like for nature and non pollution had a civil war with the diamond producers
hushed steeple
Probably
unborn fog
yeah there are butterflies in almost every realm, just the ones used for production were sourced from prairie and isle
mainly sourced
hushed steeple
Maybe
unborn fog
it was depicted on the forest factory door
hushed steeple
But I'm still confused about the wasteland elder... Which he took
orchid crypt
wasteland elder was sun shield, wasn't he?
clear jolt
yeh the elder's shield is a sun
orchid crypt
clear jolt
oh i initially thought they were having war with the light creatures
spring blaze
weird
orchid crypt
hmm, so the constellation shows a heater shield...wait, the murals as well? i don't remember those
clear jolt
lemme try searching it up
orchid crypt
hmm, it is
i wonder if that means he switched shield types, or if the silhouettes/murals just use that shape because it's more easily recognised as a shield at that level of detail
orchid crypt
because a rounded/octagon shape on a mural would just look like a ball at a glance
orchid crypt
but then they could've just as easily put the sun icon on the heater shields and the diamonds on the rounded shields to avoid the confusion either
hushed steeple
Great ginsy
clear jolt
oh yehhhh
spring blaze
sort of makes sense considering most of the battle is like, by the front of the waste temple, which leads to vault
spring blaze
im assuming that those with the octosided shield were defenders of vault, which would make sense IF the wasteland elder’s actual shield is the octo one
well we dont know the cause of the battle, i wouldnt be naming teams
its up to u tho 
orchid crypt
i guess there's nothing stopping him from just picking up a fallen enemy shield if he really needed it, but narratively speaking, i think we're supposed to believe he was in octagon/sun side?
clear jolt
team sun and team diamond haha jkjk
orchid crypt
why does this sound like a game of pokemon now
clear jolt
xDDD
hushed steeple
Btw the Eden's weapons storage room has sunshield and swords
spring blaze
team sun and team diamond, two opposing rival gangs in the all new Pokemon Sky game coming 20XX!
orchid crypt
wait a minute...i think we've seen those swords somewhere else before
clear jolt
wait there was a weapons storage room?
hushed steeple
There's
orchid crypt
someone went to explore eden a while ago, i think those swords appeared at the end of the first part of eden
hushed steeple
That room with 1 wing light.. in 1st area of eden
orchid crypt
orchid crypt
courtesy of bluespirit back up here: https://discordapp.com/channels/575762611111592007/632004389137154048/731691094894444595
but then there're sun shields in that same building too...
that really does make it seem like a civil war broke out
orchid crypt
i don't think any diamond shields were spotted in the area, but if the swords were meant to be weapons of team diamond (as suggested by the relative shades of the weapons and shields in that image above) but they appeared alongside the sun shield in storage in this building here, it'd suggest they all originated from the one military force
there's a cracked shield alongside the two swords in that image bluespirit took above, yeah, but he also had another one from that same building showing an undamaged sun shield that pretty much looks like it's just being stored there
that doesn't look like the position you'd find it in if a fight had broken out here
mortal viper
maybe it is a trophy room
orchid crypt
i suppose it could be, but we've got stuff from both sides in there rolling with the above theory
so much ambiguity 
mortal viper
we need a Lore season!
frozen pivot
The sun shields seem to have been used by elder sized spirits, which i find weird cus there have been no spirits the size of elders
The shields is as big as the spirits actually
Dunno if its relevant to wats happening here tho
And where did the the transparent material came from on chill spirit's sunglasses
hushed steeple
Sunglass in stone age .... Not fits
clear jolt
maybe stones painted white and the yellow part is just golden pieces
like the stuff you see in prairie xDD
hushed steeple
Then how can they see while wearing a stone?
hushed steeple
Ah ye fair
chilly kestrel
also glass isn't THAT hard to make XD
sly kestrel
Glass aint in sky tho
They confirmed that so rn I’m jus thinking it’s some random sky material
hushed steeple
So if our ancestors don't have eyes (even skykids) maybe they saw objects using echolocation?
clear jolt
actually wait, do spirits have eyes?
orchid crypt
the questgiver appears to have eyes, but not sure if those are fake
orchid crypt
the crying spirit would be a bit nonsensical though if it was crying without eyes though
clear jolt
true dat
hearty yoke
Umm I have a theory about vault...it might sound a lil weird but I think of it as a library. Where there are all the spirits stored, as memories. Like how the ghost manta of vault is called as memory wishperer. The spirits of vault are actually priests who stayed there to make sure that the spirits were safe.
sly kestrel
I agree with you about the stored memories and knowledge part, vault is a library
BUT
Spirits weren’t always spirits, they were ppl once too, and their spirits weren’t stored there. The praying girl had graves for dead scholars most likely but there’s no proof that their spirits were there
trim vale
That's basically what vault really is
chilly kestrel
why is there a graveyard in a library
glass sigil
idk
void plover
but who buried them after they died?
sly kestrel
Ppl who were alive
warm lava
hushed steeple
Ok guys I didn't know it before... Just noticed while relieving a spirit in sanctuary... The orb which is in spirit body is darkness
When I burnt that orb coincidentally the quest for "melt 10 darkness" showed completed
I had melted 9 darkness before relieving the spirit
So spirit memories stays in darkness?
Until we melt that and relieve the spirit?
Wow
sly kestrel
It was sort of a game mechanic added in a later update but I guess there could be more into it
manic gyro
oh, was looking for information about the King... thanks
there were temple guards as well weren't there...
quartz jackal
So after you completed the bell quest for the quest giver, the cutscene shows what looks like baby manta swimming in the water and then flying
What kind of the creatures are they
cold dock
someone pointed out they were from early game concepts
spring blaze
maybe as the game progresses we’ll see more of the old concept arts be implemented ingame
i feel like the cosmetics in this season doesnt really match the vibe of sky, but tbh if they were able to make flying stone boats and store information in stone lanterns then they can definitely make sunglasses and beach chairs 
spring blaze
i hope they improve on the valley races!
heady lake
Hey Guys me and some friends found this at the forest temple, I'm not sure if this symbol has any relevance but I remember it being similar to the box that was on the boat in sanctuary. Any thoughts?
oak lintel
whats with the second mega manta in vault that shows up as shadow when you deep call
sly kestrel
Bug
oak lintel

if its a bug then ive been seeing it since the day i joined sky

Hi! I just discovered the proof
hushed sable
Ok guys I didn't know it before... Just noticed while relieving a spirit in sanctuary... The orb which is in spirit body is darkness
When I burnt that orb coincidentally the quest for "melt 10 darkness" showed completed
@hushed steeple there's a theme of creatures being either completely in the light or the dark. But there's also a theme of corruption of light creatures. So either the spirits were creature of light that got corrupted or they were more neutral in life
carmine saffron
That dark creatures aren’t necessarily evil
These sunbathing crabs didn’t attack me
Wait I’ll find a way to send
There. These crabs behave differently from the ones in the caves
lethal stump
those have attacked me before—
lethal stump
ajsjdhdhf
gray bridge
wait let me check
do they really attack?
they're definitely not as hostile as normal crabs or the one in the caves
sly kestrel
Nope they never attacked
I guess they don’t like brick but fr tho
They are completely friendly
The ones that do attack you have the black spots on them, I noticed this a while ago
This led me to believe they weren’t always bad creatures
Tho I am confused why the ones in the mountain are more hostile than usual crabs and the island ones aren’t hostile at all
lethal stump
baby darkness
hushed sable
This led me to believe they weren’t always bad creatures
Tho I am confused why the ones in the mountain are more hostile than usual crabs and the island ones aren’t hostile at all
@sly kestrel right. No hesitation
I used myself as a personal punching bag destruction while someone else helped the spirit get by
bleak basin
Also when u throw the spirits light at them they dont attack you at all
like if they are in the circle
hushed sable
Does *sun light subdue them?
bleak basin
time to test
karmic ledge
Hello! I have a gift for you all 
https://twitter.com/thatskygame/status/1282813297717243905
Thought you folks might enjoy this tweet thread!
winter badger
uuuuuh imma ask for a second if thats fine. so when we go to the office, we see concept art for the games that say something corresponding to the constellation. for example, the isle of dawn has the word/theme of birth and the forest has the word/theme of teenage. does that mean that the whole game is just talking about the circle of life?
karmic ledge
Thats one of the interpretations! Theres a few other analogies as well
bleak basin
YOOOO
winter badger
YOOOOO! first try as well! that was my first guess tbh
bleak basin
Concept art very cool
gray bridge
the old isle elder looks like that styx river guy sending off skykids like they're dead souls
sly kestrel
Charon I believe
gray bridge
yeah that guy
sly kestrel
I think jus a ferryman in general was one of his motivation designs
Also ash
Thank you very much
winter badger
ah the ferryman in some aspects work as the one who delivers souls right?
sly kestrel
@hollow pier HAGEEEEE
New concept art, yr gonna love it
hushed sable
The old bird idea was interesting. Like the little sky kids were nestlings finally leaving.
sly kestrel
Also yeah, in a lot of concepts I read that the isle elders job was to guide souls to the megabird and shepherd them
winter badger
oh
sly kestrel
I think I like this concept the most, 2nd favorite is the vulture idea
And I think I see a whale in that mural over there
gray bridge
those statues are the same as the return shrine ones right o:
sly kestrel
The light holding statues seem like a concept that lasted a rlly long time
spring blaze
why dont i see those arts in their twitter? 
lethal stump
i love all their concepts—
i love aLL OF THE STUFF THE TEAM MAKES KSKSJHDHDF
brittle gust
Some of the early concept art are goooooooood
spring blaze
OH MYF ODKDKDOFOOF
gray bridge
merry christmas
hushed sable
I think I like this concept the most, 2nd favorite is the vulture idea
@sly kestrel this concept really appeals to those of us active in the lore channel. Lol
spring blaze
wonder why they chose a vulture
brittle gust
They tend to bring back old assets by experimenting them and put them on future use
brittle gust
wonder why they chose a vulture
Vulture is like death angel for me
spring blaze
i guess its supposed to be ironic? lol
gray bridge
in tibetan culture vultures are entrusted to bring souls of the dead to the sky, this is called a 'sky burial' actually
brittle gust
in tibetan culture vultures are entrusted to bring souls of the dead to the sky, this is called a 'sky burial' actually
@gray bridge
That one! Where vulture will feast on the deady body
This is actually a good concept that could connect to 'sky burial'
rotund cipher
i actually really like the idea of the isle elder being a vulture, maybe its just me but it looks so grand and magestic
but also intimidating for your first come around
amaze
reminds me of that giant crow in dark souls
spring blaze
reminds me of the zoroastrian burial where they also leave corpses out in the open on a tower for vultures to feast ln
rotund cipher
isle elder comes, and sc00ps you away to the magical world
brittle gust
But if they turn the isle elder into vulture then the rest of elders must be animals related to rituals as well
rotund cipher
yeah i think they were! i think someone mentioned long ago
something about when i asked about what that dead bird was in valley's citadel
i forgot what they were, maybe we'll see all the animals when they release more images this week!
(also i kinda miss the old isle, as much as they developed it to make it more simple for new players to understand my little baby me did not understand where to go because of the... giganticness of it
the old isle seems to be relatively one track)
brittle gust
Some early concept arts are actually great and can be part of the game
rotund cipher
even me now after going through beta didn't understand where all the spirits were
spring blaze
ig its why they try to keep current isle barren. like its big, but theres not much there
brittle gust
I wonder if they will part vault and isle of having seasons as well
spring blaze
ive never play the old beta isle builds but from what ive heard, it was too long for a tutorial and too detailed for a beginner realm
brittle gust
The old isle is actually great but the tutorial is the downside as what you said
rotund cipher
when i was a small moth everything in this game was absolutely humongous, wasteland's boneyard felt like went on forever.
isle is fine for me its just that its so massive and theres very little or camouflaged landmarks to it so when i was tiny and small, i would keep getting lost and go more towards the right of the map
brittle gust
The current isle is too big and isolated
rotund cipher
the most interesting place is the island behind the clouds, but theres a wind against you in the tunnel and it easily just kicks you out
spring blaze
id love to explore old isle. i wanna ride that boat to prairie yo
brittle gust
I wonder if the old maps of the old beta will comeback as new area
rotund cipher
same, i miss that little banana bird even though i never met him will be missed
spring blaze
iirc the music we hear in prairie now was the music that played in prairie back in beta
brittle gust
I love the temple on old wasteland cause theres a lot of place you can hide from krills
I watch videos from old beta
rotund cipher
i loved the design of the old isle but yes it does look pretty complicated i wish they didnt just demolish it though
rip aviary and old isle
there were apparently dark children (assumed dead) on the beach from assumingely eden. for me, playing the game over and over many times, i think thats really creepy and clever but only once you play the game once or twice and realize "oh my god, holy honk. those are.."
as a moth you probably would just think they were statues or sumth
spring blaze
i heard devs have plans to bring aviaray back somehow
brittle gust
But we will never know whether they might bring back the old maps and replace the current but more furnish
Some of old beta maps are actually on top
spring blaze
aviary is well loved
brittle gust
If they bring all of old beta maps right now with the current graphics then it will look majestic
rotund cipher
i love a lot of the old maps i would get my phone blown up from the heat just to explore the big prairie islands and the isle and the forest
even if it was just once i would love to explore and sneeek peek
(not my image)
i mean... i wanna explore every in and out
i wanna go on that little boat ride through the islands as well
brittle gust
Not to fully compare but the old maps are more like Sky than the current map
rotund cipher
heres a playlist of the old beta version of sky (aka sky light awaits)
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4S1wIq9bF1x_tulu6U-CNV80HyjVCZct
(just realized the krill had a traditional red light and when they'd see you their light would turn white and they would make absolutely no sound
scary)
brittle gust
Wow old wasteland aren't that isolated than current
lethal stump
silent krill are scarier than loud krill imo
brittle gust
There are a lot of places you can hide from krills inside the temple in the old beta 😭
Now its like a race to the other side cause you don't want to get caught
lethal stump
temple ? like in battlefield ?
brittle gust
No the temple after the entrace in wasteland
The one with one krill
There are a lot of torn buildings that you can hide from krills, now its more corrupted water
Plus its not scary to farm 😭
hushed steeple
Lore discussion started around 4:30 am for me.....
I missed the party
lethal stump
it’s kinda conflicting
on one hand, the devs improved on their old work (light awaits) to make it something they like (cotl)
on the other, everyone loves how light awaits looks and wishes we could have stuff from it back
cold steppe
I wonder if we would have said the same if it was the other way around
sly kestrel
I still can’t believe what was announced on news
WE ARE GETTING ONE FOR 7 DAYS AHHHH
And I like how they did the “calling all story, lore, art fans”
cold steppe
that's us
swift helm
There is no butterflies in vault
because they're only a memory there
hushed steeple
Ok guys if sunlight makes crabs friendly then think about it what would happen if somehow a krill comes in sunlight.... We can ride on that?👀
swift helm
round pulsar
So it’s been confirmed that the Dawn Elder is the narrator at the beginning?
hushed sable
Not quite, it was an old concept. But he still might be the narrator
orchid crypt
yeah, that just confirms that's how they were going to do the intro level before, not necessarily what's going on now
manic gyro
voice by morgan freeman
hushed steeple
Ok so narrator means that one as well who talks to us in intro?
hushed sable
Yes
hushed steeple
Interesting
brittle gust
It has more sense tho cause of the voice and he guides
King's guidance is Isle Elder
sly kestrel
It’s most likely not the narrator
6 elders and the isle elder is one of the 6
When the narrator was talking, he/she spoke as a person outside of those six elders
mortal viper
Hello my favorite bunch of lore addicts!
So, what are your theories for the weird looking alien heads in sanctuary?
sly kestrel
Huh
brittle gust
Isnt sometimes narrator tends to 3rd person?
kind pagoda
The broken bells?
sly kestrel
There are no alien heads
brittle gust
Possibility that Isle elder can be narrating thru 3rd person
mortal viper
brittle gust
Its the manta
sly kestrel
If u look at the doc given to us, it shows that it was actually an old concept design as well
So they are simply bringing it back to sanctuary
brittle gust
King's Educator is the Vault Elder
kind pagoda
It probably is a ruin like most other things on the islands. Symbolizing the mantas and new fish bird? things
sly kestrel
I think it’s a manta
kind pagoda
Yeah I think it is
sly kestrel
Not many birds in the sanc now that I rlly think about it
spring blaze
reminds me of a whale tail lol
brittle gust
Its always manta in the end
sly kestrel
And the season is sort of manta themed
kind pagoda
No but what are those fishy things
sly kestrel
Fish mantas
spring blaze
i call them fish mantas
sly kestrel
Or
kind pagoda
Cute
kind pagoda
babies!
sly kestrel
Idk actually but I would jus call em a type of sky manta
mortal viper
And here was I hoping we would get just a little bit more lore 
brittle gust
If you look here it is stages of manta
sly kestrel
Jus like how birds have a variety of species with different forms
kind pagoda
They are like mosquitos. Born in he water, and fly later on
sly kestrel
That’s an old concept but yeah
brittle gust
Still applicable tho since all of the manta in pics are in the game
sly kestrel
Yeah but it might not have the same meaning that is being implied in the concept
brittle gust
We'll never know
kind pagoda
We need canon lore now
brittle gust
Some of the old concepts are possible to be lore since some are part of the game
sly kestrel
Can’t depend on em tho
Bad odds to jus guess on concepts
I could’ve sworn I saw ginsy typing
brittle gust
That's why you make theories
brittle gust
What would it look like if they combine old map with current map?
brittle gust
Most of the old maps are actually good
brittle gust
On the old beta
brittle gust
heres a playlist of the old beta version of sky (aka sky light awaits)
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4S1wIq9bF1x_tulu6U-CNV80HyjVCZct
Here are the playlist
brittle gust
You can see the old maps on the gameplay
brittle gust
Of course its not its old what did you expect?
hushed sable
I need to put together something that shows all the different references to mantas as well as all the types
sly kestrel
Then idk why u are discussing it in the first place silent sky
hushed sable
There's like 3 different versions that appear in the glyths
spring blaze
i think silents trying to say what sky might look like if they somehow incorporated old beta sky with the live sky we have
brittle gust
Why do i feel like Jay is against every ideas and theories here?
sly kestrel
When did I say or ever do that
hushed sable
He plays devils advocate sometimes, It makes us think more imo
brittle gust
You question every ideas and theories and won't even agree on them
hushed sable
I quite enjoy what Jay has to say
sly kestrel
I agree based on factual things, but if it’s non canon I will tell em what is and simply that
I don’t shut down ideas, I simply say what I know that is canon and what’s not
What I was confused about was how u were comparing the maps from old beta to the current sky version
ocean ibex
Hey! I don’t really hangout here so what’s canon?
hushed sable
Basically everything in the live game except for the ||office & debatibly oreo||
And in the pins under the canon doc
brittle gust
i think silents trying to say what sky might look like if they somehow incorporated old beta sky with the live sky we have
ocean ibex
Oh okay
sly kestrel
I mean, of course u have freedom to share what u think whether it’s canon or not
But I don’t immediately shut it down and be rude about it if that’s what ur trying to imply about me
wind bone
They have a point though. It’s not very nice when someone is trying to show off a theory they have and get immediately shut down becuase it’s “not canon”. You should just be more open to what people want to say instead of putting them down like that
brittle gust
I never said you shut it down what I'm saying is you don't just disagree on an idea cause of possiblity of it being not part of canon
manic gyro
there's some uh... soundtrack that got cut... wasn't there?
orchid crypt
i believe there's cut music/soundtracks that was mentioned in an interview, but whether they were ever actually released is another question
lilac stone
If isle grandpa was vulture he still would be a grandpa to us 
lost hull
@brittle gust I think Jay’s trying to narrow down his own theories bc I know that’s what I do, I personally like to eliminate what’s not canon
It’s not anything personal
sly kestrel
Well if u want to share an idea silent sky , I’m not going to stop you
That’s all imma say for now
My bad if I did seem rude
brittle gust
If isle grandpa was vulture he still would be a grandpa to us
A cool elder
orchid crypt
minor sidenote, but if anyone mentions something being confirmed as canon by a dev, i'd really love to see sources for that where possible just to see if it's possible to dig a bit more into their words or if there's anything else hidden there
brittle gust
Its okay forgiven but please if you want to make someone's idea realistic or canon, modify it thoroughly
sly kestrel
minor sidenote, but if anyone mentions something being confirmed as canon by a dev, i'd really love to see sources for that where possible just to see if it's possible to dig a bit more into their words or if there's anything else hidden there
@orchid crypt well the pins is a good place but there was also some dropped knowledge lost in this chat
The search bar might help
U can search up ash or reika’s messages on here
lilac stone
Here is concept art
orchid crypt
yeah, i've just come across info sometimes in interviews on random websites that might not be on this discord as well, so just thought i'd mention it
hushed sable
That looks like a monster
lilac stone
Also it seems he is harvesting light from the fish
woven perch
it has the same pose and everything!
wind bone
woven perch
see? not all concepts get scrapped, some get repurposed like this one 
hushed sable
The dolphins in that are intriguing
orchid crypt
those creatures around the "king" on the concept art look pretty dolphin-like, maybe the game was meant to look more animal-themed before? our sky kids still look a lot like birds with the way they fiddle with their capes sometimes
woven perch
tgc show me the dolphins
sly kestrel
Looks like a hybrid of megabird and the king mural
lilac stone
At one point we imagined Isle of Dawn to be the transition from the real world into the world of Sky . "
wind bone
I wouldn’t even say concepts get scrapped they’re just what they are, concepts, one step in implementing something in game
Different doesn’t mean scrapped
sly kestrel
That’s a better way of saying it
woven perch
or they just havent made it into the game yet
manic gyro
i think that would have been an interesting concept, and they should have kept on with it
woven perch
after all, we're only at the beginning
lilac stone
@manic gyro mmm no, it would ruin the feel of sky
manic gyro
at least for the prologue
hushed sable
Like the huge ark getting repurposed into the forgotten Ark
sly kestrel
There were a lot of concepts put into the season of sanctuary too
lilac stone
It could become a citadel, like valley's...
sly kestrel
Oh the archives was actually in a form based on a scene from the movie “Laputa castle in the sky”
.....I think
manic gyro
i think sky's bronze-age aesthetic has already been tampered with considerably
lilac stone
Maybe it could be from a new kingdom
sly kestrel
Me neither
manic gyro
need an excuse plot for the ||office|| portal
lilac stone
Beta isle was shorter, no wonder they changed it
Though the boat thing could turn out really good
Yes
orchid crypt
whoa, the atmosphere in some of those is quite different compared to what we got as the "final product"
woven perch
i realize they're going to give us concept art everyday, life is great
gray bridge
i like how the colours were changed to reflect the dawn part of isle, not really bright but it isn't so night-ish either
woven perch
archives owo
lilac stone
Also this
sly kestrel
Going by the mysterious moose king mural, I noticed it sort of corresponds to another concept of the megabird on how empty souls are reborn and there’s a cycle of life that goes around. Notice that the starting creatures don’t have blue orbs and later on in their migration, they have the blue orbs, and this happens all in a repeated circle
brittle gust
The one on the lower right is actually good
sly kestrel
Oooou my bad if I interrupted
woven perch
the style and feeling of the murals has evolved a lot 
wind bone
hot dating
woven perch
sera no
orchid crypt
is that not what it says? i wasn't reading it as anything else
manic gyro
however, i do also like the nostalgia that the present isle intro gives me... playing Shadow of the Colossus with my uncle 14 years back in time
lilac stone
Any idea what is happening here?
sly kestrel
The creatures are getting their orbs
Well.....idk actually
Ash wouldn’t mind if I asked her about this right? I mean it is an old concept....
lilac stone
It could indicate that there's no chance the same soul would go in the same bodies
sly kestrel
“If a creature dies unnaturally, it’s corpse will be left behind”
sly kestrel
Possibly
lilac stone
No, not dead, they are in torment
sly kestrel
I’m going by speculations of other concepts I’ve seen
sly kestrel
It’s very similar to the Megabird life cycle of migration
clear jolt
Are those clouds or the sea?
lilac stone
The bottom looks like a desert
clear jolt
Ah
gray bridge
maybe that part is the separation between life and death
lilac stone
Do journey and sky exist in the same universe?
sly kestrel
Looks like waves to me now that I think about it
lilac stone
Yeah
sly kestrel
I mean, the creatures do look like fishes
lilac stone
Or they could be the cloth creatures...
clear jolt
And I noticed that the birds don't seem to be entering the wave like area
gray bridge
maybe that's how they were able to ascend to fly from being in the water?
sly kestrel
Birds, fishes, which one
sly kestrel
HAHAAA
gray bridge
like those smol flippy mantas in sanctuary just went flipflipsplashsplash and BOOM they were out of the water
orchid crypt
i'd say fish and birds don't really have a distinction in sky considering just about all creatures fly, but then we've got crabs and the random fish in the home pond
sly kestrel
I feel like it’s more of a metaphorical thing going on
lilac stone
I think they were under developed mantas
sly kestrel
How fish are flying and their skeletons being in water and the glowy soul orbs
lilac stone
They were still being evolved
sly kestrel
I never knew I would investigate on an old concept
lilac stone
Each cell multiplying
clear jolt
Also, did you guys noticed that the colour of the dark plants in sanctuary isn't as green as the other realms?
lilac stone
We just activated what they needed
gray bridge
so if we go anticlockwise on that picture it's like... the fishy thingies dive into the water, die, then they ascend with the blue thingies or something?
lilac stone
@hushed steeple mammals they would be
sly kestrel
Maybe the ones on the bottom werent able to be able to ascend to the moose king like the others, and that’s why it was bound to the seas
And yes
Instead of megabird
I shall say moose king
gray bridge
can we call the one in the mural in vault mooseman too
sly kestrel
Well in the current vault mural it looks more like a crown
But it’s jus this specific concept that gives the vibe of a moose or deer
Megabird + moose man + moose king =
Mega moose man king
brittle gust
Correct me if im wrong, isn't Moose king of the forest?
lilac stone
GRR IT JUST COULD BE ART STYLE
spring blaze
i mean considering how the isle elder was originally a vulture, im gooonnnnaaaa guess the rest of the elders were concepted as some sort of animal
hushed sable
I wonder if we can find any references to just the kings crown somewhere
wind bone
Forest was a lynx
hushed sable
Maybe it was made out of bone and darkstone
It's fun to imagine what it would look like
gray bridge
why did i think prairie elder would be a gigantic butterfly
brittle gust
Hahaha
long turtle
Im in love with the vulture elder if he would ever exist in the game
sly kestrel
Oh yeah I remember them saying that they were originally going to be animals, and later updates they became humanoids wearing animal masks but eventually they jus removed the entire animal vibe
I guess we jus have to wait until they release the docs
brittle gust
I like it but i found it scary
gray bridge
sorry this might not be relevant to live but whaaaat, do the light-holding statues correspond to the elders o:
hushed steeple
This is as similar as that concept art... The creatures have a orb near their head when they passed the king (I guess)
mortal viper
the creatures in the fisrt pic look a lot like krills
mortal viper
it is a child's game
open bridge
Mhmm
hushed steeple
The king's half body ...
sly kestrel
Quick lil comparison
mortal viper
ooooooooooooooo
brittle gust
Megabird ❤
open bridge
Poor prince, his head is stuck in the grass
hushed steeple
King*
open bridge
Oop yes king
hushed steeple
Tho I'm not sure
sly kestrel
Well in earlier concepts amio, the prince and king were the same person and when the king supported the megabird and before he was crowned king at valley
He was the prince
mortal viper
does the prince still exists in the game?
hushed steeple
K sir
open bridge
Maybe we will find him oob
sly kestrel
We jus gotta WAFO blue spirit
mortal viper
now is the time the devs show up to give us a light
hushed steeple
He's in Mario world
open bridge
What if we request tgc to make a Land of Lore somewhere oob 🥺
sly kestrel
They won’t do that
open bridge
don't kill the hope please
sly kestrel
It’s a bit too early in development
I sort of like how they slowly give us the story bit by bit and it’s like a bit of foreshadow for a big lore answer that will be revealed later on
sly kestrel
Like a story development
They did say that it wasn’t fully written out yet
So they are constantly revealing and making the story
One day we’ll have our answers
hushed steeple
If they revealed the full story now ... It'll be kinda boring ??
sly kestrel
Sort of, but it’s a bit hard to explain
Sky is the first chapter after all
Jus think of it like this
Every good story needs to have a good development first
open bridge
:o
mortal viper
from my part, I want the story but I also want to keep speculating and never getting answers
it doesn't make sense but... 
open bridge
So there will be another game? A sequel?
sly kestrel
We dunno
sly kestrel
Maybe like updates to sky but idk
A second half of the game could be possible
mortal viper
I just don't know how they would fit a sequel in the game considering its cyclical mechanics
It could be a prequel about the elder's fall
spring blaze
we live as spirits haha
hushed steeple
They'll collect candies instead of wax
sly kestrel
Prequel will be amazing actually
mortal viper
agree
sly kestrel
We could play as....a spirit that lived through the events of the kingdom
But idk, playing as a skykid in a prequel wouldn’t make much sense since they didn’t exist until after the fall
mortal viper
maybe they did
gray bridge
maybe play as an ancestor 
brittle gust
What if they change the Sky instead?
gray bridge
we are megabird
brittle gust
We are the darkness instead
sly kestrel
How bout we play as a manTA
hushed steeple
🧇
mortal viper
Sky: Kingdoms of Light and Darkness
hushed steeple
Play as Baby krill
gray bridge
sky: creatures of the light
sly kestrel
Right now I’m jus dreaming but if
IFFFF
There is a prequel, I can almost guarantee that we won’t play as skykids
brittle gust
Sky: Kingdoms of Light and Darkness
It is actually good, but might not be children friendly
sly kestrel
Rated r sky
mortal viper
Well... 
gray bridge
but... eden
brittle gust
They might change gameplay and concept in future
mortal viper
It is actually good, but might not be children friendly
@brittle gust Just take the Darkness bit, and it is
spring blaze
stuff can be family friendly but be scary too
like rapunnzel is a kids movie but it has dark themes
brittle gust
Sky: Kingdoms of Light and Darkness
I think this will need fighting or something
mortal viper
scary is part of life
spring blaze
thats what wasteland is for owo
brittle gust
What if all this time Light is the evil
gray bridge
i don't think there's a 'true' evil ya know
brittle gust
True true
sly kestrel
I mean, now that I think about it
A second game would most likely be a prequel, I mean we sort of topped off the story when we saved the elders and saved the fallen. We also do a lot of spirit saving in sky cotl so idk about sky being the first chapter since it seems like it was the end of a great story
Now we jus need a game to experience what happened in the past with the entire kingdom and the ancestors “mistakes”
mortal viper
yess
brittle gust
I mean, now that I think about it
A second game would most likely be a prequel, I mean we sort of topped off the story when we saved the elders and saved the fallen. We also do a lot of spirit saving in sky colt so idk about sky being the first chapter since it seems like it was the end of a great story

They could make this into a movie hahaha
mortal viper
why
brittle gust
It has a great storyline
mortal viper
much better to play than watch
brittle gust
Do you guys will like it if they bring back the weapons?
mortal viper
what weappons?
sly kestrel
Wdym bring back?
spring blaze
man i dont think sky should be made as a movie bc somehow it would be butchered or something
brittle gust
They were weapons before but got scrap
spring blaze
can you show us?
sly kestrel
U mean like how avatar was butchered when it was put into live action 🤢
mortal viper
I need pics of this
brittle gust
I saw it on yt but i don't think im allowed to say the channel
sly kestrel
Hm
woven perch
ah
brittle gust
Yes
spring blaze
oh. him
woven perch
jay..
spring blaze
yeah no it was never ingame
sly kestrel
Yeah don’t show it
brittle gust
Yup yup
spring blaze
any content from him is hacked, so lets not heh
gray bridge
if you think about it generally anything that is not a movie but then is made into one turns out bad
spring blaze
yeah
brittle gust
I saw on early concept art the sky kid is fighting the darkness using light
sly kestrel
I thought it would’ve been a cool concept
agile galleon
Butchered...anything...is harsh. Creative license is a thing as well as things not being easily transferable from one medium to another.
spring blaze
i mean technically we already fight darkness with light
one good example is burning dark plants
mortal viper
the other is bowling crabs
sly kestrel
But the kid is using some light thingy
@brittle gust back then, U were supposed to save him and give him the light
It changed of course
sly kestrel
Yeah u would save dark creatures
mortal viper
awn
brittle gust
If krills can die
mortal viper
I want to save the krills!
sly kestrel
Who knows, they might add that to a later update
brittle gust
I wouldn't mind saving the krills
mortal viper
Light Krills
brittle gust
Oooooooooh guys did u see the like early concept arts creatures?
sly kestrel
And yesss
Idk why but I always felt a slight compassion for the krills and what prolly happened causing them to be so aggressive and hateful
brittle gust
Dark creatures
sly kestrel
Crabs are scared of them
agile galleon
Maybe some day we'll tell the story of Krill
brittle gust
Ooooooooooooh
gray bridge
i really want to know how they have that light from their eye 
brittle gust
Poor krills i think they were good bois before but turned dark 😭
sly kestrel
Well it’s sort of a motivation from journeys cloth guardians
The red and blue light they have
woven perch
any theories you have on that?
mortal viper
thank goodness the crabs don't do that anymore
brittle gust
The turrets may be guard to the King's kingdom
mortal viper
and spiders would be realy creepy
brittle gust
Got corrupted as well
sly kestrel
Don’t forget the jaw creatures 🤗
mortal viper
Oh I saw those
agile galleon
Sky is a spiritual successor to Journey, but that doesn't mean it's beholden to the story told in Journey.
brittle gust
If the creatures were in the sky what do we use in defending?
brittle gust
Just run for our lights hahaha
sly kestrel
Obstacles
mortal viper
the hopes we wouldn't get eaten
gray bridge
i am very happy that kaonashi/no-face-like monster isn't in the game anymore
woven perch
those creatures dont have eyes, so i'd assume we'd have to be really quiet (maybe sound mechanic?)
sly kestrel
I’ve seen some creepy stuff in the concepts actually
Floating faces that are actually creatures
Masks that hide in the clouds and stare at you
brittle gust
i am very happy that kaonashi/no-face-like monster isn't in the game anymore
@gray bridge
Can we see it????
hushed sable
It looks like that asteroid monster from starwars
brittle gust
I’ve seen some creepy stuff in the concepts actually
Floating faces that are actually creatures
Masks that hide in the clouds and stare at you
@sly kestrel
That is super GRIM, im loving it
gray bridge
i mean maybe it might come back who knows
if it does i'll probably have worse nightmares
agile galleon
That's kind of the point of concept, get an idea on paper and see what sticks. Doesn't mean it'll be used, but also means a concept could be shelved for future use or repurposed from the original idea.
sly kestrel
Ktjn u are talkin a lil bit more in here than usual
Taking a break?
agile galleon
Am I not allowed to come in here?
sly kestrel
And yeah, a lot of old concepts made it to sanctuary
Noooo ur allowed
I like it when ur here 
orchid crypt
please hop in more often, we need lore
gray bridge
i've never seen you around here before but hello
mortal viper
those creatures dont have eyes, so i'd assume we'd have to be really quiet
@woven perch ok, we would all fail spetacularly if we met them, because all we just do is scream and run with lit candles
hushed steeple
||i have seen tentacles in ark mural.... Wondering if those are belongs to that octopus of dark creatures concept art👀 ||
agile galleon
It's highly unlikely any new info will come from me, story will be revealed in-game when we're ready.
sly kestrel
Well tentacles are new
Never heard anyone see it like that before
hushed sable
The dark octopus would be cool. In the idea thread I see a lot of push for an underwater level
orchid crypt
underwater level sounds kinda conceptually difficult, given how the sky kids behave when they swim
we don't have nearly as much mobility as we do when we're flying
sly kestrel
They swim super slow 2mph
Unless ur a chibi....
gray bridge
that octopus reminds me of that other octopus from ff but i forgot which ff
mortal viper
unless under valley's lake
hushed sable
I agree, I was thinking it could be more like the lake and underneath it
brittle gust
How bout the corrupted water will turn tentacles when you are near it?
hushed steeple
This... Maybe octopus buried in sand
hushed sable
O.O
woven perch
oh hey
sly kestrel
Oh thassa boat I’m pretty sure
brittle gust
This... Maybe octopus buried in sand
@hushed steeple
I think that's the ark buried on the sand?
agile galleon
those are the back halves of boats, but they def look like tentacles!
sly kestrel
They could also be arms with some rlly messed up broken wrists
woven perch
thats the fun of theorizing, sooo many possibilities 
agile galleon
There's no wrong answers
hushed steeple
Who knows that an octopus is Hidden in ark and we'll be able to see that in future season
silver forge
Those are swan heads poking out of the sande :V
sly kestrel
U rlly want that octopus idea huh
woven perch
i'd like that amio
gray bridge
imagine a giant octopus swimming through the sky wewewew
brittle gust
When you're just farming and a tentacle holds you
orchid crypt
we've got floating jellyfish already, so shape-wise, an octopus may not be too far off
hushed sable
I'm imagining him wrapping around some ruins
mortal viper
It's ink drains our light if it is dark
sly kestrel
I mean, if they can animate sea turtles, birds and jellies
I think they can do an octopus
brittle gust
A giant spider that like in limbo
orchid crypt
i think it's visually a bit off to be an enemy though, because octopi tend to be quite round -- the hostile lifeforms we've encountered so far are pretty angular in shape
gray bridge
.... squids
mortal viper
give them spikes
orchid crypt
yeah, a more angular squid might do the trick
fossil iris
brittle gust
We will shoot light from our chest to defeat this creatures
mortal viper
I feel like the dev. are just reading all this and taking notes
sly kestrel
Like it plays off as nice buts it’s not
@fossil iris I completely read that wrong 🤭
hushed steeple
Why y'all taking octopus as our enemy... That could be our friend tho
orchid crypt
we're just actual sky kids fantasising about what kind of crazy adventures we can go on at this point
gray bridge
lore channel:
tgc: write that down write that down!!!
mortal viper
ready to surprise us witha a halloween season
sly kestrel
Concepts say otherwise
hushed sable
A good octopus will hold your hand
woven perch
octopus friend could be giving that skykid a hug for all we know
brittle gust
I wonder if regular spirits not from wasteland also encounter krills?
hushed sable
octopus friend could be giving that skykid a hug for all we know
@woven perch yeah, the octopus will love em to death
brittle gust
Hug the light out of you
hushed sable
What if instead of a big creature they're small and latch onto you
And slowly drain your light
Like a little leach
mortal viper
and more notes are being taken
hushed steeple
Let's post our octopi ideas in #wishlist-and-ideas-archived 😈
brittle gust
sly kestrel
Oh yea
brittle gust
World War Crabs
mortal viper
XDDDDD
sly kestrel
Crab stacc
mortal viper
thy are already annoyng as they are
gray bridge
i mean, if we had enough crabs in an area... future season material
brittle gust
Oooooh all Realms has crabs now
mortal viper
imagine how much more difficult GW would be if they did this grouping thing?
brittle gust
Before sanctuary Prairie hasn't
hushed steeple
Isle ?
gray bridge
wait not isle?
hushed sable
Do the crabs in the new area look any different than the crabs in the other areas?
sly kestrel
Not rlly
hushed sable
I swear they're lighter in color
brittle gust
Except Isle
hushed sable
Must be the lighting
sly kestrel
Except for the non hostile crabs at the islands
mortal viper
there are GOOD crabbs!
gray bridge
nah it could be the lighting
sly kestrel
And yeah it’s lighting why some seem different
I took a white pale aggressive crab outside and it turned gray
mortal viper
when the dark ones try to go to the light it turns to ash
hushed sable
when the dark ones try to go to the light it turns to ash
@mortal viper wait what
sly kestrel
Oh that’s a result of server splitting or carrying a crab too far from its original place
mortal viper
It happened once at the jelly fish cave
gray bridge
i might have to disagree with you on that one
mortal viper
it attacked me but I dodge
hushed steeple
Bruh
sly kestrel
Server splitting yk
hushed sable
Also I love how there are so many more jelly fish. They're honestly my favorite creature in sky
mortal viper
evil coincidence
sly kestrel
And I am sure the sun has nothing to do with them turning into ash
I always smuggle a bunch outside
hushed steeple
But their sound is kinda mosquito type
woven perch
boop thats interesting :o
hushed steeple
?
mortal viper
our capes have that pattern too
hushed sable
The recharge!
woven perch
the belonging ones do specifically
orchid crypt
it's probably feathers rather than scales?
gray bridge
yeah i noticed on the underside of kiki ts cape there's that pattern too
sly kestrel
I’m seeing a lot of different ppl react to some of the stuff we say
U guys are open to join the convo too you know
brittle gust
Featherly Scale?
agile galleon
There is a robust, already established lore for Sky. No need to borrow your ideas here.
mortal viper
it is oddly placed for both
orchid crypt
i'd suggest it's probably a feather based on how we've seen a lot more bird motifs in this game than anything reptilian
agile galleon
What I really came in for was discussion of sneeping traveler actually being a lizard person. 
woven perch
ktjn 
gray bridge
wait what's this lizard thing about
sly kestrel
U mean the beta nickname we gave him 
woven perch
Lost would be so happy right now
hushed steeple
Really
sly kestrel
I’m almost a grown adult and I still have to look up some of the stuff ktjn says
hushed steeple
I also Googled it buddy
orchid crypt
first thought when i saw those were treasure maps
woven perch
the shy stance spirit is reading a book, so maybe!
brittle gust
A Scroll instrument?
woven perch
also music sheets kinda look like that too 👀
sly kestrel
Scrolls possibly STORY SCROLLSSSS
brittle gust
Oooooh yes
sly kestrel
There was also some other stuff in the back that looked like sleeping bags but that’s jus my interpretation
brittle gust
What if we learn something from scrolls?
hushed steeple
Treasure hunting map
woven perch
why do you think they do, boop? 
sly kestrel
Better to have something visual than to read
Ami right boop?
mortal viper
lore scrols would be nice
woven perch
i like that
brittle gust
They want a shape that is similar to King's head shape?
hushed sable
They're bird fish, they have no official name rn
sly kestrel
Maybe a map.....TREASURE MAP
HIDDEN AREAS
HIDDEN LOCATIONS
AHHH
brittle gust
We smack the crabs using scrolls
sly kestrel
And and and
Thas prolly why there’s a boat and...
woven perch
so many good theories y'all
sly kestrel
Why do u like abusing crabs man 
hushed steeple
iPad or skypad?
sly kestrel
iPhone 20
woven perch
booky
brittle gust
Sky spirit are advance
hushed sable
What's interesting to me is the sleeping spirit is on a physical boat... it's not a memory
gray bridge
skyphone... probably using sky-pe
sly kestrel
Well with these scrolls I guess it’s safe to say that writing was a thing in the sky world huh
Or idk, it could jus be a drawing
woven perch
thought: since that spirit has a book, do you think the vault memory diamonds weren't available to the whole civilization?
sly kestrel
That or maybe vault diamonds didn’t exist at their time yet
hushed steeple
Well we saw sunglass so it's not a surprise to see iPad on spirit's hand
brittle gust
I think memory diamonds or cube is sacred
gray bridge
maybe only vault scholars could access the diamonds?
woven perch
would fit with the enchantment spirits previously being scholars, since they carry diamonds in the ark
sly kestrel
Might be future tech used by specifically the scholars and not for other realms use
Or they simply didn’t exist when those spirits were alive
Or maybe they jus chose to read books instead
hushed sable
You know they might be
They also set up a shop with them... could they have been selling some non sealed away ones
hushed steeple
You know what I love to read any kind of story books in vacation instead of using any modern device.. so maybe spirits also feels like me
sly kestrel
Also who knows
It prolly ain’t even a knowledge book at all, it could jus be a lil fun story or something that sky civilians would read at their time. I mean not everyone loves history ami right?
(Cough cough me who got an f)
Maybe she was writing the book
hushed sable
She's looking at that cover quite intensely....
sly kestrel
“Timid sky author”
gray bridge
that makes me wonder about the general leisure aspect back in the spirits' time
sly kestrel
I knowwww
She didn’t even open it, it was intense cover staring as if she was like “uh how do I read again?”
Sure
I mean valley has their games
And their lil competitions
But back in praire days I guess books were a thing
Other then hard labor that they normally did
hushed sable
I bet they had a lot of firework shows
sly kestrel
Sanctuary was an escape from daily civilization as well
hushed sable
They made a stick that explodes
sly kestrel
They also made metal cages that u smack with a stick and it makes noises
keen estuary
I'm sure they had books and paper, we get sheet music after all
gray bridge
there's the travelling troupe from rhythm as well right
sly kestrel
Belonging family sort of confirmed that they rlly did play it
Other then the other spirits that jus casually have em on their back as a game mechanic
keen estuary
I bet Skykids are incredible at charades
hushed sable
Let's add dancing
@hushed steeple ok spirits know how to have fun
keen estuary
🎵 spirits just wanna have fun 🎵
hushed steeple
Dude they lived in Kingdom for long time ... So it's normal that they know how to have fun
sly kestrel
Actually now that I think about it
Belonging family rly did have their leisure time
Dancy boi was exploring a cave and vibin at the top
Prairie girl was flirting with flowers, mom was getting sparklers for her kids, and grandpa was stealing knowledge from a forbidden archive
I guess the grandpa don’t count tho
He sort of committed a crime
But oh well
keen estuary
Although, hide and seek seems like a way of courtship for me...
@hushed steeple
What kind of hide and seek u been playing?
woven perch
cool grandpa is going to end in spirit prison
hushed sable
Good to know these spirits aren't just a bunch of war fanatics cough gw
hushed steeple
No gender I guess?
keen estuary
Veering off a bit, because I'm genuinely curious:
Does anyone else feel like the krill in GW are less the creatures the ancestors were fighting and are more battlefield scavengers?
Because it seems to me that there's no evidence that they were involved in the battle? There's no dead krill anywhere, that I've seen anyway..
heady sinew
You mean like vultures?
keen estuary
They prowl around the remains of the dead, searching for any scrap of light that runs into view, and continue on
A bit yeah
keen estuary
They're very opportunistic hunters. They wait for something to come to them.
These are scavengers, not true predators, because they give up when their prey (the skykids) prove too difficult a target (hiding, running out of range, etc)
brittle gust
I think when krills die they turn into a mushy darkness
keen estuary
They take one lunge and move on
Not to mention, whatever is in the Graveyard was huge, and had bones.
Krill clearly have an exoskeleton
sly kestrel
Not rlly scavengers but I saw them as ruthless creatures that attack everything dark or not
Well
Except other krill
keen estuary
Plus, those spindly limbs would be good for getting into small spaces to pick out scraps of light clinging to things
sly kestrel
And some of the spirit memories proved that the ppl were scared of them too and prolly prey for the krill
keen estuary
Just because they're scavengers doesn't mean they're not vicious and ruthless
Hyenas are pretty nasty, but also scavengers
gray bridge
random theory: since krills are dark creatures yet have light, maybe they're the opposite of altruistic skykids: they just want to destroy whatever
sly kestrel
Yeah but
One hole is that they don’t attack other krill
But I get what ur saying
They rlly did prey on everything
hushed sable
It's possible they just genuinely want to destroy light
keen estuary
Shoves my essay comparing Skykids and Krill to angels and demons and how GW is the battlefield from the First Fall under the bed
hushed sable
If they did eat light creature to stay alive they would have moved on from wasteland to somewhere else for a better source of food
keen estuary
They could be trapped there
gray bridge
yeahh, i was trying to say that since skids and krills are kind of like two sides of a similar coin (bless my english today )
sly kestrel
Not jus light tho, they preyed on the ancestors and crabs are also scared of them
Most likely meaning they could’ve attacked them too
Oh wow
keen estuary
If they did eat light creature to stay alive they would have moved on from wasteland to somewhere else for a better source of food
@hushed sable
They could be trapped. The vortex is on one side, and the Vault is on the other, they may be trapped in a basin like area, hence the forced scavenging
hushed steeple
keen estuary
Let's make this darker: The spirits trapped the krills and the survivors are distractions to keep the krills stay in graveyard
@hushed steeple
Adding this to it, the Golden Wasteland is now a test, a rite of passage for those who desire access to the vault
hushed sable
The ark shows them showing up with the storm (at least it implies it)
brittle gust
I read that sky kids are just entertainment purposes
sly kestrel
wha
hushed sable
The krill are not in any land that has direct sunlight
Maybe large amounts of light can hurt them
hushed steeple
keen estuary
Hence why they want to destroy ours
hushed sable
Ye
hushed steeple
Ready?
keen estuary
hushed steeple
To be krilled
sly kestrel
Try to pay attention to their locations as well
3 at the battlefield, one at an abandoned and ruined factory, one at the shipwreck and a load of them blocking the entrance to the eden diamond rock rain
Oh and the graveyard
brittle gust
If you have light and krill can see you, time to die
sly kestrel
Maybe ask urself
If they are simply wandering and mindless creatures, why do they specifically pay attention to these key spots
keen estuary
Don't forget the ones who come up when you open the gate to the temple
gray bridge
oh yes jim joe and john
sly kestrel
Yeah the 3 at the battlefield
hushed sable
Guard dogs
sly kestrel
It is obvious that they have some sort of intelligence
keen estuary
oh yes jim joe and john
@gray bridge
W H E E Z E
hushed sable
I propose the idea that they can be summoned like how we summon the manta in prairie
hushed steeple
Even they can spot us half map away in graveyard
keen estuary
If they had intelligence, they wouldn't lose us the instant we stepped around a conveniently placed rock
sly kestrel
OH AND ANOTHER ONE at the entrance to the hidden island where the ark is
gray bridge
i was going to say that krill caused the forgotten ark to crash and then the other krill at shipwreck caused that
but like
agile galleon
coming in a little late but yes scrolls exist, there's a dedicated scroll shop in Ark after all.
sly kestrel
Idk I jus speculated that they seem to pay attention to key areas and they aren’t rlly mindless and dumb creatures that wander and hunt wherever they find an enemy
keen estuary
I never said mindless, just opportunistic rather than cunning
brittle gust
What if krills are made to save things that are related tolight when they were not corrupted, but now that they are, they will killl all things that is related to light
sly kestrel
Like why a factory
Why the entrances to some places, why the shipwreck, why do 3 wanna kill you once u open the gate to the temple
Stuff like that I pay attention to
keen estuary
They may know that those are the places where the light carriers are going to go and be most often
Best places to patrol and set up an ambush
sly kestrel
I don’t think ambushes exist according to krill
brittle gust
I mean aren't things turned opposite when they got corrupted?
sly kestrel
Well we still don’t kno if they were good creatures before but idk
keen estuary
What else would you call the scenario where you open the temple gate and three krill come out of the sand to gnaw your tender bits?
sly kestrel
We shall get our krill answers soon
Well that happens when they are protecting something
hushed sable
In sky I don't think we've seem something before it was corrupted so it's hard to say how darkness would change the creatures of sky
keen estuary
It's still an ambush, protection or no
brittle gust
A Light Shrimp flying up the sky
hushed sable
Let's say the krill were light dragons before they were dark
keen estuary
The one in the factory comes up out of the water
hushed sable
What would a light dragon use a search light for?
sly kestrel
Probably jus to see
brittle gust
What if krills are actually guard in the wasteland that trained to kill darkness but got corrupted instead?
sly kestrel
What would they guard tho
Why is the destroyed factory so important for krills to look out for; and the graveyard and the shipwreck etc
keen estuary
In reality, it's probably less a searchlight and more a game mechanic to help us realize we're in their line of sight, so you theoretically could ignore that if you wanted to talk about light dragons
hushed sable
I know, but it's such a huge part about how they interact with the world and their environment
brittle gust
I think they guard the king's place?
keen estuary
Oh for sure, it was just a suggestion if you were stuck on it
sly kestrel
I personally see them as a creature constantly looking out or guarding
gray bridge
i'm still wondering why they specifically have blue light when searching i can't let go of my theory that they can detect spirits/skykids because their spirit is also blue like the krill light

Well if that’s the case I’m still wonderin why they don’t all jus gather up at the kings place instead of spreading out to some other key places
Also it’s a design motive from the guardians from journey, they had the red blue light as well

They're territorial, but sometimes are in packs?

So I think they wanted to sort of put the idea of them into sky

Blue is often used in games to indicate a passive light or gaze and red as having its attention
You see it in things like Legend of Zelda too

Blue in sky is used in a lot of different ways tho as well
When I went through the beta album they went through a lot of colors for the light before they landed on blue

Blue makes sense in golden wasteland, since everything is that greenish yellow ick color, it stands out

I’m not gonna put too much attention towards the spotlight since it has a lot of simple reasons to exist but
I guess it could have a bit more lore reasons

Wow autocorrect got me good there

When you first fly you glow blue, the same blue the krill shine
Spirits souls are blue

What’s ur guy’s opinion on me saying that krills don’t have a physical body
keen estuary
Sorry to open this can of worms and then bail, but I have to get to bed, goodnight, y'all
gray bridge
i mean if they did have a physical body how would they move out of the ground and all that
hushed sable
They ram into us
