as it's literally just tgcs office

Okay, did y’all notice this in office?
candid wave
I have multiple sightings of the curvature and atmosphere of the worlds... as well as a working diagram that I drafted regarding the gas giant.... take a look for yourselves.
random glen
what do you mean by gas giant
candid wave
As far as the Gas Giant theory goes, I have put together this descriptive diagram to illustrate my theories to help visualize the theoretical & mathematical bits of my conjectures. Please "view original" to view in detail @hushed steeple @cyan halo
@candid wave
Yes FINALLY! The orbital pathway is IDENTICAL to that of most known gas giants (based on my calculations of sky kid jump hight correlated w/approximate weight/hight differentials) you will also notice that the spirits in ||the office|| have computers which are mainly composed of precious minerals which have to have been mined from the core (which is the only rock/mineral composition of most gas giants)
@candid wave
random glen
oh so you are talking about the actual planetary structure of sky
candid wave
Im thinking the planet we're on is a gas giant with a nitrogen rich atmosphere and a water cycle. The land masses we're on could be orbital objects in a ring system around eden.
@cyan halo
Yes
exactly
cold dock
but office isnt a part of the lore
random glen
that's interesting however the computers in the office aren't actually in-universe for sky, its the office of the tgc staff and the computers they used to make the game!!!
candid wave
A gas giant, nitrogen rich atmosphere, Eden as the core
@candid wave
Each realm a spot on the planet that is in a perpetual state of time
@candid wave
due to the orbital lock of the planet w/the sun star
@candid wave
Dawn, morning, noon, night, etc, etc, etc
@candid wave
Sources? @random glen
random glen
there is plenty of technology in universe in sky though!

i dont think that needs a source the staff literally have said thats what the office is 🤔 however that is an interesting theory!

i've always thought skykids were specially made just to carry out whatever mission they're supposed to be on

Either way... I think that the office has some elements which could be accepted into lore
random glen
i agree with you res
i feel like i read somewhere here people theorising they were made of clay or something
which is interesting
inland folio
loam?
short owl
I figure that while actual meta content isn't able to be meshed into cannon, the office may be represenative of a place spirits could work
gray bridge
it's also interesting to note that skykids' limbs aren't the same colour as their heads
random glen
i think about it when i see them hehe
modest loom
i feel like they're mainly made of coal and the arms + legs are some type of clay ?
gray bridge
but then again, they have a fully-connected figure even when not lit up (idk how to phrase it)
short owl
@random glen I thinj it's wax. We wax hands and legs to ensure our bodies are safe for handling wl
@gray bridge could work because the office is set out in a spirit friendly manner. If we traveled sky looking for offices, we may find a similar layout.
A chat table, providing a place to talk and have meetings. Technology that's them sized rather than HUUUUUUGE like the factories

okay sooooo me and my friend @cold dock were exploring in sanctuary today! and we realised something about the crabs. so obviously theres two kinds of crabs here, the ones in the cave, and the ones outside of the caves who are friendly and make me uwu... so we were like, what if we take out a crab from the cave and put him with the nice crabs?!!?! will he go nice too?!?!! 🥺 and we tried it aaaaand he literally walked the entire way back to the cave. this guy literally walked through the ocean to escape the light. we followed him the entire way and i have pics which i'll post but i just thought lore wise this is really interesting, because it doesnt happen with the crabs in forest, we tried this too and they just chill about but there's a lot less sun there.... ya just thought some of you might like this incase nobody else has done this yet!!!!
@random glen murals in the crab caves at Arc suggest the crabs attack bc their environment was destroyed from ancestors stealing water
balmy crow
I've been thinking- the crab cave in Sanctuary may be an observation cave or an arena of some sort? This is probably wrong but since the crabs in that area are very vicious maybe they built that structure out of an unused cave to observe how they act? Since theres that high viewing point idk

1 more interesting thing in Sky
the first 3 realms are more in touch w nature. the next 3 are more mechanic.
mortal viper
true
hearty bramble
I think their technology also developed along the way?
sinful anvil
in the next 3 the nature theme is almost gone
hearty bramble
The first mechanic we see between the three realms are the one in the forest temple, it's the first working machine we ever Saw, then it all started from there
in the next 3 the nature theme is almost gone
Not much but yes, I agree with that :'D
mortal viper
I wonder if GW was once a forest like Hiden Forest
hearty bramble
I think the downfall of technology is around the Wasteland era, it was named Golden for a reason but yet, it is also the downfall for these Machinery before it finally risen once again in the Vault kingdom era
I somehow think that these realms with their kingdom lived a different era and when one falls, a new era was risen to continue the life, but in different places? As if they (the elders and light beings) goes from one place to another, like from Isle, to Prairie, to Forest and so on
Though, it doesnt really fits with the "Together, the fallen stars builds a new home in the clouds" (?) Sentence from the intro
I'm not sure :'D
I wonder if GW was once a forest like Hiden Forest
But there was only sand there though ;;
mortal viper
now there is only sand
but we see trees are necessary in the diamond production
and about the kingdons existing in different times, I don't think it is likely. They look like an evolution, but they also seemed to be dependent from one another. For example, Forest needed the buterflies from Prarie to make the diamonds
same thing for Wasteland
hearty bramble
Yeah, you got the point,,
mortal viper
also, at the inicial cutscene we see each of the elders raise a realm
but your theory is an interesting take
and as was said by the devs before there is no right or wrong here
just crazy people with crazy theories
hearty bramble
Yeah x'D
Basically just us sharing our own ideas of what we think about the Lore, it's quite nice discussing it

I've always been confused as to why the crying spirit always starts with one look, but ends with another different looking person,,, would anyone care to explain??
gray bridge
i feel like that could just be some sort of uniform they all share but then again i forgot the whole cutscene sequence so 🗿
hearty bramble
For me, I think it's because the crying spirit is the only one that lived the longest and Saw her friends died one by one, so it's like a memory of a group of spirits, but going towards the end of the memory, we see it from the crying spirit's perspective since she is the longest to live, hence that's why it's ended up in her
Some of them do(?) :'D
gray bridge
depends on the crab. the two crabs on the island are friendly, normal hostile crabs usually have black particles around them and are more grey in colour

the spirits are taller anyway so they look normal against the buildings i guess

Tiny potion!
hushed steeple
A question just out of curiosity
Why shiny boi avoids rain?
brittle gust
I think it will dissipate their light like sky kids
tranquil thicket
water will put out their light
like extinguishing a candle's flame
presumably it's like this with them as well since for sky kids you can lose winged lights by standing in the rain
orchid crypt
someone once asked why rain affected the sky kids, but not swimming in water (or even being submerged in ice water in valley)
tranquil thicket
true, true
definitely there's something about the water purity involved in valley/home vs. wasteland
orchid crypt
for rain/swimming in general, i made a suggestion that it's like how being in the rain is worse for us than swimming because of how there's the wind chill factor, but i've got no idea about the ice water scenario
tranquil thicket
i think the falling rain is probably also meant to be polluted somewhat perhaps? given it's in forest where there's so much growing darkness
orchid crypt
that's possible, yeah, although i don't think swimming in any of the water there affects your health either so long as it's undercover
brittle gust
Theres someone said that manta was the cause of raining because they were locked down in the temple.
orchid crypt
the manta, or the jellyfish?
brittle gust
Maybe the rain stop when you step and light all the candles on to the third platform because the manta knows you'll save them.
lethal stump
skykids are between 2’7 (chibi) and 3’11 (height 1)
orchid crypt
(sky kids are smol beans, yup)
brittle gust
Or maybe its the Elder who was crying, on the cut scene the Elder was sad
orchid crypt
i've never considered that sadness interpretation before, interesting...it does kinda thematically work since sadness is seen as a darker mood
it feels a little once-off to me personally though, in the sense that i don't feel like we've seen mood influencing the weather/environment in any other instance of the world if that's what's happening
mortal viper
Maybe the cutting of the trees affected the balance of the clouds treetops, causing it to condense and fall as rain
brittle gust
Yeeaaah but the question is who cut the trees?
brittle gust
Maybe the Elder Forest starts all of what's happening and regret it in the end thats why the Elder forest is sad
normal berry
I wonder why crabs hide from krill
mortal viper
Forest Elder is in a hurry to get back to work
crude fable
I think it was greed more than sadness who produce the darkness crisis. The old civilizations were waging war between each other. Sadness is sad not mean
It's okay to be sad
In fact, I think the mission of the old civilization was probably the same us ours, but they forget it, and the darkness crisis started because the light in the individuals was not returning to orbit. Instead of understanding the great scheme of things, they focus on wealth and prestige, and that produced an unbalanced between the darkness and the light. In my sky theory, darkness exist no matter what, but there was an expansion of it because of the ancients greediness.
We are made of darkness and light, that's why you see the dark and light kid hugging at orbit
Darkness is our material self, while light our animated self, that's why when we die we turn dark
haughty timber
basically what im getting from these early design posts is that sky used to be even floatier

So I have a odd question? So there are two valley elders and two races and two temples! Two ways that you can go in vally. What way do you guys think one of them own! Like the girl might own the flying race? That’s just an example! Just out of curiosity!
turbid shadow
Relax!!
nimble siren
this is definitely a stretch, but since yin = feminine and also earth, while yang = masculine and also sky, i think the male elder owns the flying race and the female one owns the sliding race
speaking of the valley elders, what's their relation to each other
i assume theyre twins but ive also wondered if they were lovers instead
lethal stump
they’re confirmed to be twins
nimble siren
oh alright
lethal stump
however when it comes to lovers, i headcanon mama forest and mama vault are together but that’s just me being gay

also this is the height stuff i referenced earlier

i wonder how tall this makes the elders
lethal stump
very tall
nimble siren
true lol
lethal stump
i might go as chibi into the elder room oob and when theyre all standing straight, compare myself to them
however they hover over the ground, so i should probs just count pixels
sly kestrel
Oh yeah, vault elder and forest are related
nimble siren
wait theyre blood related?
dang there goes the headcanon i just discovered and accepted
lethal stump
i dont think theyre blood related
i think theyre the kind that historians look at and go ‘aw so close they were like sisters’ when irl they were gey
but thats just me

they lived together for 20 years and never married, so depressing

welp it would be pretty weird to ship two people who are potentially family so i'll just hide in the shame corner now
lethal stump
i have no shame
i see a lot of my headcanons as removed from proper theories anyways lmao
delicate coral
Something that I’ve been puzzling on recently is the depiction of five elders for Eden
The portal gate for Eden has five elder heads around it, for every realm except isle
And this latticework can be found throughout Eden
orchid crypt
but isn't that diamond the king's head?
i can't read apparently 
delicate coral
lethal stump
cause isle wasn’t considered a realm, just a tutorial, so it wasn’t counted on the eden door
this was in beta, mind you
still hasn’t changed
gray bridge
i mean, there could be a reason why the isle elder still hasn't been put on the gate but who knows 
yep there's usually two symbols for the king (i think)
the three diamonds and that one big stretched rhombus
mortal viper
Maybe the isle elder died before the gate was built
he is the only one with a broken mask
gray bridge
vault elder's mask is pretty broken too
mortal viper
I feel like eden's gate was built after whatever happened there
to contain the darkness, the storm and the destruction
aside from Forest, no other realm has an entry gate, and as I sent earlier, eden's gate look pieced back together
delicate coral
I just find it strange that instead of depicting the supposed Eden elder, it depicts the other elders
mortal viper
He is the diamond on top
hushed steeple
The bell
mortal viper
and if the gate was built after eden fell, it would make more sense to put the faces of the ones protecting the people by raising that gate, than the one who caused all the mess
delicate coral
Okay but there's two other things that doesn't account for
delicate coral
- The latticework either leaves out the vault elder, instead depicting the eden elder, or it doesn't depict the eden elder
- the gate that's actually in eden does not have a symbol for the eden elder on top
mortal viper
King = Eden elder = diamond shapped bell on top
hushed steeple
It has
gray bridge
vault elder's mask is the centre i think
hushed steeple
Prairie,forest,vault, wasteland, valley
From left side
nimble siren
if the latticework was built after eden fell i guess it would make sense that theres no eden elder
hushed steeple
Hey it's as same as in vault mural i think
mortal viper
?
hushed steeple
The vault elder cutscene
delicate coral
Here’s the gate in Eden (if it'll ever upload)
nimble siren
i just had a thought, since vault elder is usually depicted on the top does that mean theyre more high ranking than the others?
or is it more of a round table situation
mortal viper
we believe he is the king
gray bridge
vault elder?
mortal viper
Knowing king propaganda, it is there somewhere
nimble siren
maybe it's damaged?
gray bridge
maybe because it's vault but the other elders due have to make a semicircle around the vault elder in the cutscene
mortal viper
I would go check but I got a boring text to read
gray bridge
yes there's always king propaganda somewhere somehow
nimble siren
it looks a bit like the rocks around the gate collapsed
nimble siren
maybe the symbol got buried?
hushed steeple
Maybe because the gate is in eden so
gray bridge
i can check hold on
mortal viper
maybe the symbol got buried?
@nimble siren possible
hushed steeple
Btw there's Eden elder symbol behind the gate little top
delicate coral
In which case it would be implied that the gate was built before Eden turned sour
gray bridge
there's partial king propaganda here
nimble siren
the king is everywhere

“so did u hypocrite”
skykids and vessels: mb .... lets just get along

is the king propaganda stuff not correct o:
mortal viper
we don't know if it is propaganda
we just know he is everywhere in sky world
every realm has at least one bell with his head on top
hushed steeple
Even the home
mortal viper
and GW has 9 statues + 5 turrets
gray bridge
we really aren't immune huh...
lethal stump
realms: exist
king: its free real estate
mortal viper
XDDDDD
Since we were talkig about sizes, I feel like some of the statues in GW are his real size
he is depicted in the concept arts as the tallest of all elders
lethal stump
considering the size of the door in the eden castle i wouldn’t be surprised if he was that tall
delicate coral
The king is eden
He's just the entirety of eden
It makes perfect sense if you think about it
nimble siren
i thought the size of the door was just a flex on how great it was
mortal viper
it is a possiblility
delicate coral
The statue of the king in the propaganda poster:
That shape is present in every realm in sky
How?
The eden lens flare
Additionally, from the canon google doc
the king is not present in the same way as spirits or elders, and it can be implied that he's present in some way in every realm
mortal viper
He's just the entirety of eden
@delicate coral The vault cutscene does show the kind inside eden's mountain
gray bridge
wait that's new
actually i've never seen the theory of the king being eden itself o:
mortal viper
I have mentioned it multiple times 
maybe he wasn't always eden. But as he got corrupt, he fused with the mountain
gray bridge
i'm sorry bluespirit i think it's my dementia kicking in pls forgive this old person
nimble siren
hmmm is the king a physical representation of eden or did he become eden later
mortal viper
i vote for the later
delicate coral
hm, maybe it actually fits better for the king to be the huge power stone within eden
mortal viper
but the first brings a hole lot of new theories to my head
pale kestrel
Tbh the king is gone, never really was going to be in the game
We all want him to exist but sadly our dreams of his existence are all in vain
delicate coral
That fits better with the vault cutscene, because it's kinda like he's trapped in there?
sly kestrel
Ash confirmed the king to be in game lol
gray bridge
the king's still around but he's just... not as explicitly shown as like elders or spirits pls we just want to see king propaganda
mortal viper
Tbh the king is gone, never really was going to be in the game
We all want him to exist but sadly our dreams of his existence are all in vain
@pale kestrel devs confirmed he exists, just not the way we wanted
nimble siren
maybe he messed up when making the big power rock and is punished by being trapped forever in the mess that present day eden is
magic stream
Is there any possibility that the Narrator was the King all along?
mortal viper
there always is
delicate coral
Those two possibilities are not mutually exclusive
pale kestrel
What narrator?
gray bridge
the one in intro
gray bridge
what do you guys think of the king and the child of light though
pale kestrel
The glowy when you || die in eden ||
gray bridge
the shiny bois were described as imprints of the child of light
nimble siren
i thought all skykids were the children of light
pale kestrel
I think that he is like the god figure of the sky universe
gray bridge
in the intro there's just the child of light
pale kestrel
He is The light
nimble siren
wait the megabird is the god right?
unless its a thing where king = destruction and megabird = life
gray bridge
the thing is that the light in-game is your friend constellation
pale kestrel
Well I don't really hang out on this channel much
delicate coral
I was under the impression that the children of light were skykids, and are what you get when you combine the shiny bois with the husks in eden
gray bridge
like your friend constellation is titled 'the light'
pale kestrel
These are my personal theories
I don't actually know what is canon
I have my own theories for all of sky
delicate coral
There's a google doc in this channel's pinned messages with all the canon stuff we know
other than that we're really all in the same boat as you, it's all speculation
gray bridge
sorry for the topic change but i just wanted to show this observation o: (first drawing creds to bluespirit)
the eden door might be a bit of a stretch but the symbols on the back and the wings of skykid in the intro are kind of similar?
it's always that specific curve(?), but the vault statues's wings are much more pointier compared to the curve of the intro wings which could suggest something but then again i could be overthinking this
mortal viper
the structure in the back of the statues does looks like wings
but i don't know how to use this knowledge 
gray bridge
ok same

Also also, I'm sorry for going from one thing to another... Are these mantas? Do they only swim as a baby and learn to fly when they get older?
@hushed steeple those bird fish can be discovered flying around after we return the first bell

Those are manta fishes

But in the intro the Human Figure on the mural went down as well
@brittle gust It's commonly believed that the seventh tail of light came from the clouds according to the intro, as the figure doesn't fall and the tail is first seen coming from the clouds
it was said in canon lore that spirits, elders and the kids are different species
@mortal viper The canon is that the elders and kids are different but different species isn't the right phrasing

descendant species as I remember

This skele also resembles the one in vault right?
@inland folio the whale skeleton in forest has a different spinal structure than the ribcages in vault and wasteland

The single person probably got so conflicted that they just kinda... Snapped in two
@short owl in a live stream they said that "the valley elders are twins" I do love the theory that they're the same person split in two thou! It's neat and I can totally get behind this
i feel like i read somewhere here people theorising they were made of clay or something
@random glen there was a Q&A on game design (IIRC) where tgc was asked what kids were made out of, and they said another staff member could enlighten them then said staff member said that the noises for sky kids was clay
hollow pier
Also I just read what Ktjn said earlier, I don't mean to be gatekeeping or come down hard on what's "real and true canon" my intentions are to be informative not abrasive
This ring looks like
These!

@hollow pier heck I haven’t seen those pictures omg that BRAID though. But about the thing - were those a kind of door you had to open with light that you collected? Kind of puzzles that bring you to the next level? And the ‘’solidified motes” are like things that you can hold that light/energy in to transport/trade/gift it?

The motes are an early concept of candles that we have now I think

If the king and the eden elder are the same person then it's the king for sure, which is my bet
hushed steeple
I finally figure out about the giant bones at gw
Okay, so credits to the comic maker on Twitter, I forgot their usename
But when I was reading that comic, it shows the gw elder killing a krill and leaving it to rot
So maybe the giant bones we saw at gw are bones of the krill
This ring looks like
@hollow pier what game is this and where you find it?

||I want to ask something which I noticed in office, there is a board in office which talks of what area is what, like isle is childhood and etc etc...but only and only vault is not given there??? Is vault something else than the usual birth to death timeline considered for the areas of sky||

An interesting thing about Eden: it's the one place where others can't really do anything for you
hushed steeple
Vault is more like a dream realm rather than an actual realm

They can light up shrines so you can rest, and scream at you in shelters, but having others with you doesn't make things that much easier
And it keeps ripping you apart from people

You can play hide n seek in eden

i just assumed it was the wind or something until now

@magic stream are you an Indonesian. Just asking 👀

Yeap

Maybe corrupted king chanting to get skykid's soul?

I keep hearing about a corrupted king and a prince. Are they cannon or just a theory?
lethal stump
king is in-game, prince is not confirmed
hushed steeple
Ah king is confirmed tho
gray bridge
prince could either be completely scrapped or he grew up into king but who knows
lethal stump
king is a mech imo
magic stream
I like to think thats the voice of the Darkness itself...more creepy that way
Not theory tho
lethal stump
the prince is an eternal child, so he has this throne-mech-thing built to make himself seem more powerful and strong
orchid crypt
halconera, they're from concept art -- whether the prince is still canon isn't entirely clear, but we've been told the king is still part of sky's lore
little hornet
Do we ever see the king? I have been playing since ios release, but I have never seen him. Am I justblind?

ahh

Thanks!

those statues in battlefield are him we think

we "kind of" do, but also not really -- there're statues in golden wasteland resembling his character design

@whole quartz what if vault is the library

OMG YES
alpine sentinel
and the vault of knowledge could have the stuff you need to learn

That's👀

The shelves looks like that😅😅

oof thats what i was typing

isnt a library a vault of knowledge already 
alpine sentinel
yEEEEEE
spring blaze
whole quartz
but there’s no knowledge in it, we can’t read the stone thingys
spring blaze
possibly
hushed steeple
But we skykids can't crack those knowledge lantern
short owl
Ooooh you know what we could have that would give us speculative material but not answers? In universe FICTION
delicate coral
Because we don’t speak spirit

And then another thing, the ghost mantas are actually called memory, so maybe there is something related

the knowledge lanterns are too darn smart

Maybe an event for next season

Ghost mantas is in your dreams

Vault is so underdeveloped, imagine if it gets developed and we can get to the ingame lores😍
alpine sentinel
yesss!
hushed steeple
There's some lore already in vault
hearty yoke
Underdeveloped as in less candles and stuff😭😭😭
whole quartz
Maybe that out-of-bounds tree could be put in the center of the library!

nice ideas

and you need to light all the candles to make the tree bloom, and you can’t access the information until the tree blooms

A mix between the vault and the cottage core aesthetic

I think we ll never get any clear lore in game, this abstract lore is what make us keep playing sky

Doesn’t give you cosmetics, but is there to give the area more liveliness
hearty yoke
i used to think of the vault spirits as preists
spring blaze
i wish the devs would just add an area that isn’t related to any season, bc when new areas are added its for upcoming seasons
like they’d just be like “surprise! have a new area”
hushed steeple
Getting a full lore will make me feel bore to play the game
magic stream
i wish the devs would just add an area that isn’t related to any season, bc when new areas are added its for upcoming seasons
@spring blaze may be just add lil bit more details to exist areas would be awesome
hushed steeple
Like some must needed changes 1st... The eden gate..the died bird in valley... Those constellation in prairie and citadel
short owl
That's why in universe fiction would work so well
Multilevel symbolism means only some details are relevant
And we have no idea which ones
peak ore
there might be some hints & references in new areas though
magic stream
Honestly im still in awe that a game with this much awesomeness is just a mobile game
peak ore
Honestly im still in awe that a game with this much awesomeness is just a mobile game
@magic stream fr, this feels like a console/PC game
magic stream
Imagine what kinda game produced if TGC made an console or PC game...it would be a massive game
short owl
It's coming to console so
peak ore
there's Journey
short owl
Though tbh... Maybe starting mobile helped with scale
magic stream
TGC can have all of my money
short owl
Small team could build an awesome mobile game on a smaller scale and budget, then build up.
lethal stump
if it was console/PC maybe we could have gotten king battle in eden
magic stream
This game remind me so much about how i felt back then when i first played Skyrim...so much blur stories, so much lore to dig, complex histories, etc
whole quartz
That’s what the library is gonna be for!
And maybe some scattered information on shelves
Throughout areas
magic stream
The Vault was kinda has same purpose as library tho
whole quartz
True
magic stream
Even tho we cant get all the information in game
whole quartz
Maybe the information has various symbols on the front like the books in Skyrim

brittle gust
Is diamond shape = 4 edged star?
brittle gust
The like diamond shape designs everywhere
magic stream
I think what we consider diamond shape is just plain rectangular diamond shape
brittle gust
In our capes star symbol is 4 edged star and kinda look like diamond shape like other designs on the game, so maybe the diamond shapes are 4 edged star but simpler
whole quartz
Suggested it!
magic stream
I think our cape winged light symbol is entirely different symbol
brittle gust
Cape winged light symbol is same as the King's head shape
whole quartz
we royalty fam
magic stream
But, im not sure about light shape on our mask and chest...kinda similar with diamond shape
brittle gust
Ooooh i saw something inside of a sky kid that has the same symbol of the cape
I will try to screenshot it to clarify what i saw
magic stream
I wonder what is that place looks like up close
hushed steeple
That's a 2d image of an another factory
magic stream
Sometimes i really wish we could get a glimpse of what every realms looks like before
abstract crypt
Have the Sanctuary lore been discussed here? If so, kindly send me link so I can read some good stuff
orchid crypt
i don't think we've seen any 2D cutout techniques used in sky up till now, but i'm not sure anyone's ever gone far enough out of bounds to confirm if something off in the distance like that is still fully 3D modelled or not
lethal stump
isn’t the eden mountain 2d ?
orchid crypt
i'm not actually sure, has anyone ever confirmed it?
hushed steeple
orchid crypt
wait, i'm thinking of when we see it from after valley...in earlier stages, it'd make a lot more sense
hushed steeple
isn’t the eden mountain 2d ?
@lethal stump the eden mountain pics we see from prairie is 2d ... I went close to that
lethal stump
what about other realms ?
hushed steeple
I guess 2d as well
orchid crypt
it'd make sense to use 2D instead of 3D models though for faraway objects, saves on resources
lethal stump
yeye
orchid crypt
i couldn't tell with how eden mountain looked from valley, because it looked animated
lethal stump
that thing in wasteland looks 3D-ish
orchid crypt
or to be more precise, end of valley/beginning of golden wasteland
hushed steeple
That took 20 minutes swimming alone in a vast open sea to reach that mountain
I thought the clouds are real but that turned out just a transparent wall
2d structures
lethal stump
damn how did you keep your light ??
orchid crypt
i'm impressed you got that close, i can never get past the wind walls
abstract crypt
They really have to massively save resources so the game can run on mobile devices
hushed steeple
There's no wind wall if you go from prairie elder room
lethal stump
how do you do that ?
hushed steeple
I guess glitch isn't lore related?
orchid crypt
i'm guessing a chibi fall through the floor to hit the ocean?
but yeah, that might not be lore-related now that you mention it, we're veering a little offtopic
abstract crypt
What's the lore of Sanctuary?
lethal stump
we don’t know yet
hushed steeple
We've to restore the bells
abstract crypt
Oh I forgot, as its story has to progress yet which takes the whole season
Okay okay, I must wait and return here for us to discuss
brittle gust
Its at the back of sky kid diamond shape, theres also in the front the light at the center but the picture won't send
orchid crypt
what if sky kids are actually just walking batteries?
we already call them that when tagging along with an uber
hushed steeple
What if that orb which is on skykid's chest is the ball which is eden elder holding in vault mural?
lethal stump
i think it’s our candle, since it disappears when we take our candle out
well, more specifically, our light
orchid crypt
kinda makes visual sense considering the animation we do when giving away winged lights in eden
hmm, i wonder if that might also tie into why you can hear a heartbeat in-game when holding another player's hand, if you're in a quiet enough area
there's a fair amount of attention drawn to the sky kid's chest/heart area
brittle gust
The heartbeat may came from the light
frozen pivot
Or that could be the skykid being nervous
brittle gust
You can hear the heartbeat at any place that is quiet
orchid crypt
yeah, both when you're holding hands or piggybacking another player
frozen pivot
But ye, sky kids are basically vessels for light, they can absorb and contain it finitely
shy scaffold
Personally I think skykids are part krill because the glow shifts from yellow to blue when it is consumed by red crystals or when flying upward. The light is hiding our true nature.
brittle gust
Sky kids are Hybrid of Light and Dark
orchid crypt
you also emit a momentary blue glow when you take off into flight while standing on the ground (actually quite anxiety-inducing because it's a similar shade to the krill spotlight)
magic stream
Part of Krill are a bit...
frozen pivot
That blue glow is just when the sky kid loses light
Theres a theory why that is but, thats how its made i suppose
brittle gust
I think this is
lethal stump
« connected »
« indifferent »
orchid crypt
i think they've changed the nature of dark stone (if they're now the red crystals we see around eden), but they probably preserved some of the colouring concepts
frozen pivot
It literally represents lost of light
Or lost of connection as that visual represents
brittle gust
I think they change it to red crystal to represent pure darkness and danger i think?
orchid crypt
probably also because the colour palette of eden would be a bit off otherwise
but yeah, it's the same colour as an alert krill's spotlight, which is a clear "stay away" signal
frozen pivot
I think its just residue from when the diamond erupted
orchid crypt
it could be, though it makes me wonder if dark stone still exists/is visible in the game somewhere then if it wasn't removed/changed
brittle gust
I think dark crystals are red crystals that lost it's pure darkness and danger?
Oooh the dark crystals still exists, if you go to eden and go closer to the kids that turned stones when coming thru the cave, there are dark crystals on them
orchid crypt
whoa, i'll need to take a closer look at those details then, i never thought too much about the blue cracks/patterns on them
brittle gust
Here the pic from above
orchid crypt
though i remember people suggesting that sky kids might be made of darkness/similar to krill because of how your remnant soul is blue, but that again would also work with the earlier idea that blue just signifies a lack/loss of light
hmmmmm....that's definitely some food for thought
it's not quite the exact shade that i imagined it, but it's also different from the black residue our characters build up while going through the last part of eden
short owl
Well... We only went blue after sacrificing all our wl, and continued to have our light drained
brittle gust
I missed a detail, when we stand near red crystal did it suck up the light of sky kid or it gets absorb by the sky kid?
brittle gust
The dark water sucks too but the water is not red by means
hushed steeple
Here the pic from above
@brittle gust I'm quite sure that one is from old beta stuff
short owl
True, but it's also black
hushed steeple
The old blue eden
short owl
It doesn't need to glow red to distinguish itself from normal rocks

@brittle gust I'm quite sure that one is from old beta stuff
@hushed steeple
The pic is from you

Also... There is still a blue crystal'ed kid in Eden
brittle gust
But theres red emitting on the picture
hushed steeple
@hushed steeple
The pic is from you
@brittle gust yes i asked that then I got my answer later🙃
brittle gust
Oooh so the red on the side is not the current eden?
brittle gust
Oooh is there a King on the old Beta?

Re “candle is the sky kid’s light”: watch the left hand when they put it away

The vault is itself a king statue tho
@hushed steeple that's in front of vault; vault itself is the giant brick wall behind that extra tall king statue

Maybe he is
Affected by the loss of so many, he now wanders a place that does not technichally exist
Only when the remaining elders and spirits are summoned to Orbit will the king finally rest

You mean with the krill or with me

i think it’d be cool if when we 100% all the constellations, we get to « meet » the king

That'll take my entire life
brittle gust
Yeeees then have King's Ultimate Gift
hushed steeple
Or more than that
lethal stump
cause if we save the other stars
i wish we could have a chance to save the last one
brittle gust
It is sad tho to not being able to save King
lethal stump
yeah
or, more precisely, not being able to save the prince
the king is a big meanie 😠
hollow pier
And then another thing, the ghost mantas are actually called memory, so maybe there is something related
@hearty yoke they're also called spirit mantas, but we're also told that text shouldn't be considered canon but sky kid's interpretations of what they see
hearty yoke
What if the king fell into darkness and disintegrated, his essensce turned into krills, now hungry for lights so it hunts children of lights
brittle gust
I'll cry if we are able to save the King or Prince with him thanking us for our hard work and dedication.
hushed steeple
Or he'll take our soul to create more darkness and kill megabird

nOOOOO

Thats unexpected

But can be be good Twiiiiiist

@hearty yoke they're also called spirit mantas, but we're also told that text shouldn't be considered canon but sky kid's interpretations of what they see
@hollow pier ohhh... Actually I thought that because, most of the sound call for kid are named like - manta wishperer, bird wishperer and all, and the spirit manta was called as memory whispered... that's why I thought it was canon
lethal stump
forest mom but even more angry
brittle gust
Then because of that we can now manipulate darkness

i think it would be cool if a new ending was added with the king/prince, or maybe even megabird themself

i think they've changed the nature of dark stone (if they're now the red crystals we see around eden), but they probably preserved some of the colouring concepts
@orchid crypt We think darkstone might be the "power diamonds" that we see in all the realms (and what the giant eden crystal is)
At first i thought the King was the Giant on the office
@brittle gust I LOVE THIS THEORY
Only when the remaining elders and spirits are summoned to Orbit will the king finally rest
@short owl actually, you joke but there's a good chance this may happen; we've been promised an ultimate ultimate reward for completing all the constellations

The giant on the office scares me

where did the devs say this

ohhh... Actually I thought that because, most of the sound call for kid are named like - manta wishperer, bird wishperer and all, and the spirit manta was called as memory whispered... that's why I thought it was canon

in my headcanon he was a dumb kid who got in way over his head and was corrupted by it

We are going to die once we finish all the constellations cause we are just borrowing light?
I mean we die and reborn but like die and just stay on orbit?

Maybe there will be a gift from a being of light who can't let go of horizon? We return a lot of spirits to orbit... But maybe not all want to stay

@normal berry not in. Is.
normal berry
Once again the eden diamond is a power source so he is prolly not the diamond
short owl
He is the power source... And is likely crying out for help
brittle gust
Maybe he covered himself with crystal?
normal berry
he would literally need to be forged inside of one if that was possible
brittle gust
But is it me or the crystal is oddly shape? Like it shape like a diamond but has some missing parts on it.
lethal stump
it looks like a flower ngl
normal berry
likely because it overloaded and blew up
brittle gust
Maybe he was crystalized to stop the spreading of darkness, so that only the eden was affected with the storm?
lethal stump
yea but there’s darkness in every realm except vault
if he was supposed to stop the spread of the darkness, it didn’t work very well
short owl
Or the darkness spread faster than desired. The storm seems to be receding, if slowly. If the storm is this bad when muffled, how bad would it be otherwise?
lethal stump
krills everywhere
brittle gust
Krills on Isle
lethal stump
poor moffs—
eager shore
I dont know if this has been brought up before, but
The Season of Sanctuary takes place in the Daylight Prarie, which, if memory serves, links up to childhood. Sanctuary, safety.
I was just flying through there when I realized something
The main island reminds me a bit of Neverland, a safe place for children who never want to grow up
lethal stump
it is an « escape from civilization » afterall
and two of the seasonal spirits look like kids
brittle gust
When u honk in Sanctuary Island theres no this
lethal stump
theres no goal in vacation, only to have fun !
and ignore the political collapse of the kingdom you live in
brittle gust
theres no goal in vacation, only to have fun !
@lethal stump
Yes yes that's why it's hard to make a lore out of it
pale kestrel
My theory of this season
It's a family vacation
The quest giver and his wife the shell collector go on holiday with thier kids Thrillseeker, Whisperer and Bookworm
Along with the quest givers grouchy father-in-law, and sunbather brother-in-law
Which also explains why the upgraded grateful expression has a heart

Is the prince canon?
lethal stump
no, but the king is
normal berry

lethal stump
no, devs said hes canon iirc
lethal stump
well, some may think that the prince grew into the king, they might be separate, or if you’re a weirdo like me you think the king is actually a mech suit for the prince
safe sequoia
Thanks. How do we know about the king? I’ve done Eden a few times and didn’t see anything...
lethal stump
hes not in-game like the other elders, he’s instead in art and statues around the realms
lethal stump
i want him to be in game tho * sobs*

@safe sequoia if you wanna play spot the king, there is 9 statues of him in GW, you just have to find them

that should be a game
