Actually...

Thinking about it, every Realm has clouds separating it from the next, EXCEPT for Wasteland to Eden. Those 3 realms don't. So maybe Sky is actually split into 5 different realms in general, instead of 7, like we all thought.

hushed steeple
#

I forgot which cut scene it was but there was one where it shows the "stars" falling from orbit. Which is the origin of those different realms. And eden fell last at the top of everything while the other six fell at its sides, so it does make sense.

#

So maybe the six realms just surround eden?

chilly kestrel
#

it WAS a volcano and eden was on top - volcanic soil is the most fertile kind, so i can absolutely see a magnificent garden being grown on top of one, if we fudge the science a little.

#

so then when the king Did A Bad the mountain... well, erupted, in some sense.

round fossil
#

I really think having a map of Sky would really help out alot, ngl pCry

chilly kestrel
#

i'm not entirely sure how this works, because i was also sort of vibing with the idea that vault was the volcano hollowed out

round fossil
#

That wouldn't... Exactly make sense though.

chilly kestrel
#

no it doesn't XD

#

lava themed vault tho pEyes

round fossil
#

Is there really a volcano in Sky tho? pThink

chilly kestrel
#

that's just a Theory (tm)

#

but if you look at the screenshot you posted, it really does look like an erupting volcano, doesn't it?

hushed steeple
#

It kinda does

chilly kestrel
#

constantly suspended in the moment it all went wrong

round fossil
#

No, because it's shining like light. Lava wouldn't be as bright or shine like that.

chilly kestrel
#

i'm not talking literally.

round fossil
#

I know. I'm just saying it doesn't fit.

hushed steeple
#

Maybe its just a mountain

chilly kestrel
#

i'm saying it's evocative of one

#

look - i showed a sky screenshot to a friend who does not play sky and they were like "nice shot of that exploding volcano"

round fossil
#

I'm gonna watch the beginning cutscene when you first start sky again, maybe get some clues.

chilly kestrel
#

so. i'm just putting things together for fun - volcanic soil being immensely fertile, that eden is on top of it, the whole idea of a volcano = looming catastrophic disaster

#

maybe vault being an empty magma channel, even though that is a bit unrealistic.

candid wave
#

The face masks in season of enchantment were meant to encourage mask wearing for the initial COVID 19 outbreak in China.

round fossil
#

Ok.

#

So I watched it again.

#

And I noticed 3 things, actually.

gilded timber
#

It could be good source of light and energy too...just saying

hushed steeple
#

I think its the storm

round fossil
#

"But Darkness blinds, so I cast them away."

hushed steeple
#

Which cut scene is this?

#

This is the one I was looking for

round fossil
#

The very first one, when you start sky. You can only watch it once, so I looked it up in YouTube.

chilly kestrel
#

i think that's the creation of the elders, maybe

hushed steeple
#

Oh ok

#

Yeah i think so too because the king fell with them

#

He just fell last

round fossil
#

i think that's the creation of the elders, maybe
@chilly kestrel

No. He's clearly casting them away. I can link the video to watch it if you want.

#

Secondly..

#

If the King is indeed speaking,

#

Then he created you.

#

"Wake up, my child. Bring the lost stars home."

chilly kestrel
#

you can still be loyal even if you're thrown away?

orchid crypt
#

if the king created the child, that just makes me think that the sky kids are the prince

round fossil
#

Presumably

#

At lastly...

#

As I watched it, it seemed like the Spirits were thriving before the Storm.

#

The King cast them away, yes

gilded timber
#

Wait why this text is different? I mean when I started game it was like this:

round fossil
#

But they made a Kingdome among the clouds

hushed steeple
#

Ohhh

round fossil
#

But

gray bridge
#

the darkness blinds one is from pre-live iirc

round fossil
#

"If only they had listened."

#

It's at this point I think the King fell completely to Darkness, and created the Storm.

chilly kestrel
#

i'm intrigued by the idea of the king casting his court away because they got infected by darkness - that explains why you have to share your light with them, firstly, and secondly, why they guide you to eden. "save that idiot from himself. you're our only hope"

hushed steeple
#

It makes sense that the king was the one who cast them away, because he is different from the other elders. He is the king, hence his name. His light is also differnt from the others so maybe he just went with them as a overall ruler?

round fossil
#

Either way, this beginning cutscene holds a lot of answers.

Right now there's 2 theories it seems...

  1. The King got taken over by Darkness, and cast away the Stars.

  2. The Stars got taken over by Darkness, and the King cast them away.

Either one could fit. It's just a matter of explanation.

chilly kestrel
#

that's a very intriguing and sweet dynamic. the idea that all the elders still want to help their corrupted king...

#

or we could have both!

hushed steeple
#

I think maybe they lost their untiy and so they parted their ways into the clouds

chilly kestrel
#

the darkness came for the stars and then the king

hushed steeple
#

So then the king had to go with them, to keep their bond somewhat together

round fossil
#

Probably trying to persuade them to turn away from Darkness

hushed steeple
#

But as time went on the king was corrupted by darkness (for some reason) and so the other kingdoms were effected by that

round fossil
#

And then the Storm

chilly kestrel
#

which is why i think, in this instance, it's a depiction of the elders.

hushed steeple
#

Yes they were once all together including the king.

round fossil
#

Actually...

#

Hold on a moment.

#

"with the Stars United, our light was infinite."

#

And then it leads to the screenshot link posted above

#

So yes, it's a depiction of the Elders, and the King.

hushed steeple
#

I wonder what darkness it was that made them fall, is it the same darkness that we see in the clouds? If so then that means the darkness originated from orbit and it soon followed the stars to the clouds

#

And so corruption existed before the ruin of those realms

round fossil
#

And this cutscene.... It makes me think that Obrit is yet another Realm, that was ruled by the King and the Elders before their downfall. And when we go there, we get reborn because we aren't meant to stay. We are supposed to travel the realms looking for lost spirits, and return them home.

chilly kestrel
#

so, what i'm getting from this:

  1. unification
  2. darkness came - the king cast his stars/court away due to infection from darkness
  3. cloud kingdom with king still in eden
  4. still not strong enough to fight away darkness hence the "war" in wasteland. it wasn't enough to keep darkness away, though - weakness due to lack of unification
  5. the king "eats the apple" and corrupts eden
  6. time passes! (jeopardy music)
  7. that's your cue! you are born.
round fossil
#

No, I don't think the King ever corrupted Eden.

Because he created us Sky-Kids. If he was corrupted, he wouldn't beg us to bring home the Stars/Spirits.

chilly kestrel
#

i track the last part, but am sketchy about the first part.

hushed steeple
#

Well in this world things are reborn

#

So maybe the king was reborn

#

But he's not the same as before so his corruption didn't follow

round fossil
#

No... I don't think so. Stars only live once. Sky-Kids were meant to be Reborn, everything else is living, a one life type of deal.

chilly kestrel
#

i'm reading the king "eating the apple" as shown in vault as a sacrifice for powe, maybe intended for the greater good. he did it before the darkness came for him.

#

and now he's existing outside of a logical construct.

round fossil
#

Hmmm

chilly kestrel
#

i think the castle wouldn't be on top of the mountain if the king lived in eden XD

hushed steeple
#

Well we technically all end up at the same place, the light. The light reforms things and brings them back to life. If we are reborn with the purpose of dying again then what happens to other living things (including stars)

chilly kestrel
#

it's in orbit now but the murals generally show it as on top of the mountain.

hushed steeple
#

The source of their power?

chilly kestrel
#

that's generally assumed to be him "eating the apple" - it's up near his mouth and he's in eden.

round fossil
#

No... Eden being on top of the mountain is symbolism for your final destination, your final fight before the finish.
It's where it all began.
I am positive the King lived in Eden after their first downfall.
Before everything, I'm sure they lived in Obrit, with the King in absolute power.

open hill
#

Imagine if they made a prequel game explaining everything

round fossil
#

Like that would happen...

hushed steeple
#

Lol

open hill
#

it would be cool tho

round fossil
#

Then this would be like fnaf, except less scary.

#

And less confusing and endlessly frustrating.

open hill
#

imagine a cutseen where your standing on a cliff and all you see is a cloud of darkness with krills leading the way

chilly kestrel
#

going with the themes from the game (relying on your friends), the king's story being isolation -> weakness -> last ditch sacrifice for power -> catastrophic consequences.

#

kou, that's a reoccuring theory!!

#

the idea is the king "ate the apple" and that caused him to no longer exist physically, just in fragments. the skykids are those fragments trying to atone for his actions

#

and no yikes here, that was excitement!

hushed steeple
#

Well we are called children of the light. And at the beginning cutscene the narrator called us child. Idk where I'm going with this but I just thought to put it out there XD

chilly kestrel
#

so the skykid's story is an inverse of the king's. reaching out -> becoming stronger -> sacrifice for friends -> reward

#

however i like to think a skykid is still a separate entity from the king, i think. they might have some of his soul but none of his conciousness. don't ask me why, i just prefer the idea.

hushed steeple
#

Yeah I think it was confirmed that the children are a different being from the elders and spirits

round fossil
#

I'm thinking that the King was never corrupted.

I think that the Elders let in the Darkness, and the King tried to rally up the untainted warriors to fight the Krills (and whatever else).

"If only they had listened."
@round fossil

This explains a whole lot more. The Elder's being tainted explains why we need to give them light, and help the lost spirits, and even why the King created us.

On a side note: I like the idea of the King being split into pieces, as Sky-Kids tho (would explain the connection of the full-bodied Kingt to the Sky-Kids body).

That being said, the Sky-Kid has their own sentiant personality in each one. So they are not like the King. (Like the movie 9, if you've seen it).

cold steppe
#

Hage clarified that the devs haven’t actually said that skykids are separate from spirits, only elders

#

Unless something was brought up recently

hushed steeple
#

Oh

chilly kestrel
#

that's what i was saying, kalor.

round fossil
#

I was clarifying it.

chilly kestrel
#

the king was very close to getting corrupted and "ate the apple" before the darkness got to him.

hushed steeple
#

But why is eden the most destroyed if the king wasn't corrupted?

#

Darkness basically consumed eden

chilly kestrel
#

i think his sacrifice ascended it

round fossil
#

Hm

hushed steeple
#

Ascended what?

chilly kestrel
#

the castle - give me a minute and i'll explain.

hushed steeple
#

Oh ok

#

I think if we understand exactly what this darkness is then the fall of the stars would make more sense

#

Like is the darkness not literal darkness but more of a infection?

#

Hence why it can spread?

#

Idk

#

And the storm

#

Is that the darkness?

chilly kestrel
#

i think the king - whatever he did - that mural of him "eating the apple" was to ward off darkness, and it worked... sort of. yes, he did keep darkness away from him: at the cost of his life and kingdom. but it was relying on power and not on his court and people. (power corrupts har dee har har)

hushed steeple
#

Is so then thats why there's so much krill at eden, it came from the storm, the "darkness"

#

Ah

chilly kestrel
#

also note the blue stones that can be charged with light... the red stones are like a really bad version of that.

round fossil
#

Darkness basically consumed eden
@hushed steeple

That my friend, is where the crystal comes in I think. If the crystal is the source of the Elders and King's power, then as the Elders got corrupted, so did the Crystal. It's why we can't destroy it/why the game having a cutscene of it being destroyed doesn't exist.

Darkness is like evil. Evil can spread, but it is not an infection. Evil is a state of the being and thoughts. Evil can grow, spread, and manifest itself in different ways as long as it has a root. (That being the Crystal/Elders)

chilly kestrel
#

the red stones are an attempt to make a better blue stone, but it went wrong: it takes light and gives off none of its own.

round fossil
#

If we purify the root, the darkness goes away.

hushed steeple
#

Interesting

chilly kestrel
#

or perhaps it went right.

round fossil
#

So in reality, us reviving the Sky-Kids in Eden, and them heading toward the Crystal, is most likely us purifying the Crystal, to be rid of the Darkness once and for all. And then we go to Orbit, and be reborn because replayability.

chilly kestrel
#

well, we can't purify the crystal

#

we can't heal it with light because they only take light and you can't fill them up.

round fossil
#

No, I think we can, it just doesn't show it because Replayability

hushed steeple
#

Where does the crystals power come from where does IT come from?

chilly kestrel
#

we're saving the people we can

round fossil
#

Orbit.

chilly kestrel
#

the liiiiiiiiiight

hushed steeple
#

So if its power is light then we have to destroy it. Maybe

chilly kestrel
#

and skykids can't really destroy things... except darkness.

round fossil
#

No. Because it's corrupted by Darkness. Darkness can be purified.

chilly kestrel
#

and the red crystal isn't exactly darkness, it's more like a black hole...

round fossil
#

So we don't have to destroy the crystal.

#

Just purify it.

chilly kestrel
#

the more stuff you throw at a black hole, you're never going to fill it, just make it bigger.

#

same for the red crystals, i think: more light won't make it better.

#

if you replay eden, you'll notice there are smaller red crystals around, and that you can't purify them - there's nothing you can do, you just have to avoid them.

hushed steeple
#

Yeah because they can take your light

#

Darkness is the absence of light so if the crystals power is light then it had to have consumed the light in eden and brought darkness

round fossil
#

If there is one question that can be answered from the Devs besides what the heck is the storyline, it would be what exactly is the Eden Crystal

chilly kestrel
#

i honestly think orbit would be a lot more powerful if the storyline was less opaque

#

as it stands i was mostly like "oh. that's nice" when i did it as a moth

#

i could tell there was powerful and important stuff going on but it all went over my head

half viper
#

What if the king is the dark skykid at the end? 😶😶

chilly kestrel
#

no i think that's us

#

i think if anything the king would be the light skykid!

hushed steeple
#

Maybe the only thing left of the king is his spirit

round fossil
#

Yeah. Orbit is made so you aren't there for hours trying to find every piece of Lore and candle wax as possible an hour, because it's just so you can get wings and be reborn. Nothing special to it except for us Lore Folk.

half viper
#

Oooh the one waiting for us to return ....

round fossil
#

What if the king is the dark skykid at the end? 😶😶
@half viper

My dear friend, you just opened up a new can of worms all by itself.

open hill
#

omg

round fossil
#

Let's please not stroll down that path of possibilities.

open hill
#

yeah maybe hes the last kid to be consumed of darkness so hes the first you see

hushed steeple
#

I thought the sky kids were different from the elders?

#

And our job is to bring them home

round fossil
#

The reall question is... Where the - do you go when you die, and why is that cutscene even a thing.
Like B r u h

hushed steeple
#

You go to the light when you die

open hill
#

im also not sure what the conection is between the civilisation and the elders

hushed steeple
#

The light is the source of life and the end of death

#

So that whole last cutscene after eden is what happens when things die

#

They go back to the light

#

And thus reincarnation

#

Even mantas can be reborn but maybe as something else

#

However the light isn't the home of the elders.

chilly kestrel
#

the idea that we're king fragments makes sense too, because then we're constantly going back to save the people we can

hushed steeple
#

It's probably just their source of power

round fossil
#

These theories are making me question my life choices of ever even reading this chat. At first it was a cool game, and now I'm obsessed with the Lore, just like I was with Journey.
The cycle never ends.... Why ThatGameCompany! Why do you make good games and stories!!!!

Every creature is made of light (except for evil stuff). And actually... I read a link in the pins, and it enforces the transformation/warp theory.

The post said that the C r a h b s movements immitate something, and what could it be? So do Krills immitate something? Are they both warped species? Or just C r a h b s? Are the Krills a separate species all together?

#

It's pin #4, scrolling down. Read the Doc.

hushed steeple
#

Hmm I'll read that and give it a thought

round fossil
west swan
round fossil
#

No, I think it means from the game e.e

#

So I think that C r a h b s could be a warped version of a more peaceful creature.

#

It's just what is the question.

#

And if Krills are the same way.

west swan
hushed steeple
#

So does that mean darkness creates life? Or does it just warp things?

round fossil
#

As I said before, Darkness is able to spread and manifest itself in different ways as long as it has a root of power.

If we take this literally, it manifests itself as the dark plants (like in Forest). It can also warp things. It doesn't create life, it creates a physical form in it's image. It's not alive. It's just there.

#

Therefore the plants aren't truly plants, just Darkness changing it's shape into something like plants.

#

It explains why we can find it in weird areas.

hushed steeple
#

Oh ok

half viper
#

Going off that, darkness cannot create, it can only warp. Krill being a warped whale maybe? Crabs I dunno

hushed steeple
#

Crabs were probably just nicer before

round fossil
#

Maybe crabs were mini jellyfish?

half viper
#

🤣 maybe the office has pre-darkness crabs?

sweet dirge
#

Crabs are found in almost all the realms

round fossil
#

Office isn't cannon tho, so not possible xd

hushed steeple
#

I think there was a cave that showed crabs living peacefully with other living things

round fossil
#

No, I don't remember there being a cave like that. pThink

hushed steeple
#

Its near the forgotten ark

#

In wasteland

sweet dirge
#

The drawings on the cave walls?

hushed steeple
#

Yes

sweet dirge
#

Ah ok

half viper
#

Here's another thought: Did the Elders create the boats? Or was that foreign technology? (Think invaders like Columbus brining ocean ships) would explain the large wreckages in wasteland

hushed steeple
#

I think its foreign

#

Oh wait

half viper
#

So forgotten Ark being the Elders culminating triumph over foreign tech?

round fossil
#

It probably was foreign...

hushed steeple
#

No I think its their people's technology, which lead to their downfall like it days in one of the pins

round fossil
half viper
#

Ahh, so pre-fall tech

#

Yep, makes sense

hushed steeple
#

Well they had boats the travel

steady geyser
#

yeah forest is the beginning of the tech, valley the apex, wastes the downfall

half viper
#

Even more so when you realize Season of Enchantment was restoring it by a spirit

hushed steeple
#

And they collected light

round fossil
#

yeah forest is the beginning of the tech, valley the apex, wastes the downfall
@steady geyser

But there are boats in Prarie bruv

hushed steeple
#

You have to remember that these are civilizations too with advancing people

sweet dirge
#

Even more so when you realize Season of Enchantment was restoring it by a spirit
They didn't really restore tho they just made a market

half viper
#

🤣

hushed steeple
#

The elders didn't live with them they just watched over them ig

half viper
#

Well, it has working fins/wings now

#

So semi-restored

steady geyser
#

at the origin the isle elder was supposed the send you on a boat to prairie in the clouds

round fossil
hushed steeple
#

Yeah and the water isn't polluted

round fossil
#

Boat, fully functional, in Prarie.

hushed steeple
#

And there is more light and plants

sweet dirge
#

I really hoped it would become a working ship again pFIRE pFIRE

hushed steeple
#

So restored ruins is more Ike it

half viper
#

Okay so boat tech just advanced, in size and complexity

steady geyser
#

yeah kalor i'll try to find again where i saw this, but it was pretty much official lore in my memories

half viper
#

🤔🤔 Do any of the Elders.have capes? Or only spirits?

solar quest
#

Only the spirits have capes

sweet dirge
#

Only spirits it seems

spring blaze
#

the waste elder has a cape

solar quest
#

he has?

sweet dirge
#

Really!?

half viper
#

What if spirits and Elders are fundamentallyndifferent?

steady geyser
#

its damaged right?

half viper
#

And we the Skykids are the fusion of two worlds?

solar quest
#

Hm...sometimes i wonder what exactly happened in wasteland tho...

half viper
#

Would explain why only wasteland elder had cape

sweet dirge
#

The storm happened

steady geyser
#

i think the lore is they tried to exploit a new ressource and they polluted the land

spring blaze
#

its like those heroic cape stuff

solar quest
#

Yeah i know but whats with the war zone

half viper
#

Unless you consider class-based society, and Wasteland elder was same class as spirits while the others were not

sweet dirge
#

I remember there being a theory about some sort of civil war

round fossil
#

Oh yes, another usefull peace of information I read from the canon Doc in pins...

  • the castles are not where the Elders live. Just places that the Elders cared for.
  • They were not the first beings to come to Sky.
  • Elder cutscenes take place in a separate (almost) dimension, I guess a different pocket of space, but it still affects the world.

So just keep those things in mind.

half viper
#

Interesting

#

Similar to Greek mythos, Elders live in Olympis

#

Wasteland elder is demigod (like Hercules)

#

So he can have cape and fight

sweet dirge
#

I remember they were given power from dark stone

hushed steeple
#

I think he just has the cape to represent his heroic traits, he is a warrior

half viper
#

Spirits would be populace?

hushed steeple
#

But our capes are different

half viper
#

Skykids is still an enigma

round fossil
#

Sky-Kids were created by the King.
(See the beginning cutscene, when you first start Sky. [You have to YouTube it.])

sweet dirge
#

:O

#

I thought.....megabirb

round fossil
#

Whether or not the Sky-Kid is shreds of the King or not is still being discussed.

half viper
#

Right but like what class of being are they?

hushed steeple
#

I thought sky kids were created by the light?

round fossil
#

Nope.

steady geyser
hushed steeple
#

That's why we're called children of the light

round fossil
#

Well technically yes, I guess, if maybe the King used the Light's powers to make them.

hushed steeple
#

Oh

round fossil
#

But the King ultimately made the Sky-Kid, just using the Light to do so.

steady geyser
#

the kids are meant to bring stars back home (sky)

round fossil
#

No, Sky isn't home.

#

Sky is the realms you play through.

#

Home, I am pretty sure, is Orbit.

steady geyser
hushed steeple
#

So home is the orbit where the stars came from

steady geyser
#

yeah mb

round fossil
#

Yes

steady geyser
#

i wasnt clear but yeah

#

you're right

sweet dirge
#

I forgot how cool the intro was

round fossil
#

It reveals a lot of information that people been skipping or forgot about, ngl

half viper
#

You know

#

After watching that

#

I don't think it's the King talking

hushed steeple
#

Same

half viper
#

You see the Ray's come from above Eden

#

I think it's the Light

steady geyser
#

megaboooord

#

the one who's all

half viper
#

Think like Mother Earth concept

hushed steeple
#

Yeah i think so too

half viper
#

She sent us (Children of Light) to restore the light

steady geyser
#

btw this intro presents stars as united in the past, who then fell and created homes (their realms), as if elders were stars? im a bit confused i guess

hushed steeple
#

Yeah thats why we're called children of the light, the king isn't the light he's just a head ruler of the elders

half viper
#

Oooh yeah good point

hushed steeple
#

Ohh

half viper
#

It conflates elders and stars it seems

steady geyser
#

the megabird concept is very clear here

hushed steeple
#

Yeah

half viper
#

Woaaaah

#

It lists the stars/winged light as connections

#

That is very cool

#

So what if they aren't really physical object, but representation of people's connections, and we need to bring them back to the light

#

Paralleling the need to restore people's connections to the light/earth etc

round fossil
#

Maybe that's why dying in Eden is, in fact, inevitable.

steady geyser
#

its our cycle indeed

#

the bird gave us life and we come back to it

hushed steeple
#

we're the sacrifices O-O

half viper
#

Wow makes even more sense that light is connection when you realize that the darkness is isolation, or corruption

steady geyser
#

yes, krills are coorrupted light creatures

#

such as crabs

hushed steeple
#

Yeah it even shows that isolation is connected to corruption

#

In that same website

steady geyser
#

but idk what the big skeletons are in graveyard

#

they are so big

#

bigger than whales

#

and those creatures had big eyes

#

what whales dont have

hushed steeple
#

Hmm

half viper
#

Wow even shows that the darkstone was what granted the Ancestors technology? But it was corruption

#

What if krill are just advanced guardians gone wrong?

#

The Ancestors attempt to bio-engineer the whales to be faster and better?

#

That may be old data tho

#

Since most tech we see runs on light not dark stone

hushed steeple
#

Ok so what was with the story about the forgotten ark?

half viper
#

But it may be a restoration process?

hushed steeple
#

Where they had six different light orbs and one person tried to steal one

spring blaze
#

from the ark murals, there was lightning and a krill, im assuming that it was struck in the storm and/or krilled

hushed steeple
#

So then their boats sank

#

So did that bring the storm?

spring blaze
#

its bene a while since ive been there tho so dont trust my word for it jsjdjsjd

half viper
#

I think Ark is not cause but maybe attempt to save some ancestors during storm happenings, the fall etc

hushed steeple
#

I'm not sure what you mean

steady geyser
#

what is storm btw?

round fossil
#

I'll visit the Ark later... And take photos of the murals, and post them here.

this work is amazing

its pure pleasure

Imma look at the ark murals

There is a historical timeline!! 😮😮😶😶

Really?

SC and post pPopcorn

#

I need timeline. SkyDontGo

Ahh ok some old data

round fossil
#

Oh

#

Rip

half viper
#

There are some concepts here that didn't end up being used

#

Still very interesting!

small temple
#

It does sound interesting

Timeline mentions prince and Elders were the.ones corrupted not the King

#

Wooooooowwww so much in there

hushed steeple
#

I'll visit the Ark later... And take photos of the murals, and post them here.
@round fossil I have the photos of murals

#

I'm not too much into lore, but I took photos of them before

#

Wait there's 15 photos

round fossil
#

Omg I forgot there was just so much of it...

At some point today I will stop guessing lore and actually do my candle run.

But...
I need....

That's exactly how I feel rn.

sweet dirge
#

The pictures depict four winged mantas pWow

round fossil
#

I'm literally about to get up and get me some coffee at 9:00 pm at night.

#

Just because of t h i s

sweet dirge
#

Could enchantment and sanctuary be connected somehow

#

Cause I see four winged mantas which are only found in the new area

round fossil
#

The real question is, are the seasons actual Cannon to the story

sweet dirge
#

Everything is part of lore if its in the main game

round fossil
#

The office is in the main game, but it's not cannon...

#

Sooo

sweet dirge
#

Sure but that's because its office

hushed steeple
#

Season of sanctuary seems more independent from the lore

round fossil
sweet dirge
#

Places like sanctuary and enchanement are far places from Eden so they have their own little stories I assume

round fossil
#

Maybe.

hushed steeple
#

an escape from daily civilization

round fossil
#

:V

sweet dirge
#

The events of Eden sorry

#

You dont see Eden from enchantment and sanctuary aswell

#

Enchanement could be because its in wasteland but you can't see the Eden from sanctuary

steady geyser
#

but sanctuary is just a place under prairie tho

#

its not very far

hushed steeple
#

Maybe they just forgot it?

round fossil
#

Can we talk about the big ship in the Wasteland without wings for a moment? How the heck did it get into the middle of a desert? Was the Wasteland at one point a huge sea with islands and a castle?

sweet dirge
#

Really tho if you check behind the clouds its just a vast ocean

steady geyser
#

well it came from the sea right?

round fossil
#

But where it came from is the question.

steady geyser
#

on the left and right there is sea, corrupted and polluted

sweet dirge
#

I assumed it was a ocean in some time

steady geyser
#

it came from where they extracted the darkness

round fossil
#

There aren't any other boats like it. It's a unique element, and built differntly. So... What was it's purpose? pThink

sweet dirge
#

Oh yea it could be shipping from the factories

steady geyser
#

and as it sank it polluted the surroundings

#

and the por crabs

round fossil
#

C r a h b

sweet dirge
round fossil
hushed steeple
#

It was a warship or something maybe

#

But the enchantment boat looks similar

sweet dirge
#

Warship is a possibility

#

Since the spirit there has the salute emote

steady geyser
#

and the spirit is called captain btw, i like this name

round fossil
#

Well, there are golden jars(?) In it. So if there's any other area with golden jars(?) In it, that's probably where it came from, and would answer this question. And opens up another question... We know the regular jars(?) In Prarie held light (see the canon Doc in pins) so what do these golden ones do, or had done?

sweet dirge
#

Could be the extract from the factories

steady geyser
#

these jars have a purpose in temple

#

ex forest, wastelands first krill...

sweet dirge
#

They're also open and coming out from the ship which would suggest the content in it is what contaminated the ocean

steady geyser
#

maybe where the power of the tech is coming from / stocked

hushed steeple
#

Maybe the jars isn't actually jars

#

Maybe they are ammo

#

Or else

sweet dirge
#

I don't see any type of weaponry on the ship tho

steady geyser
#

hmm i dont know but there a re a ton of them

round fossil
#

I feel like these jars(?) Might answer a few questions. I don't think I've seen them anywhere else in Sky tho, so idk what their purpose is, or could be. Has anyone seen them anywhere else in Sky at all? Or something like it?

steady geyser
#

yeah

#

in temples

#

the forest one as well as the broken one in GW (first krill)

#

it seems part of the mechanism of the temple

sweet dirge
#

A dark stone processor

#

I heard here that the forest temple is actually a dark stone factory and the first krill place is similar

round fossil
#

I don't remember there being Golden Jars in the forest temple tho...

@hushed steeple they have instagram, Facebook and Twitter accounts

@sweet dirge I thought those were bells ngl

#

I thought the same thing

normal berry
#

i thought they were things used to press diamonds

sweet dirge
#

All I know is they are golden jars 👁👁

#

i thought they were things used to press diamonds
I thought that was the spinny thing on top

steady geyser
#

btw nyom nyom your first pic is beautiful

sweet dirge
#

Thank you! stickerHeart

normal berry
#

the press probably needed a top and a bottom to form a diamond shape

steady geyser
#

its so grey behind it i love it

hushed steeple
#

They already shared a post about valley from their Twitter account

normal berry
#

hence why its detached

#

maybe it used to rotate too

sweet dirge
#

Oooo interesting

normal berry
#

before it broke off from the lower platform

steady geyser
#

maybe it would be sending light?

normal berry
#

hmm?

#

wdym?

round fossil
#

So now we know that the ship probably came and went from Forest to Wasteland with the Golden Jars(?).

#

But why forest?

#

Hm

normal berry
#

because, that golden thing ... might not be a jar?

#

read my recent messages for my two cents

round fossil
#

That's why I'm saying Jar(?) Bc we don't know if it's an actual Jar.

sinful gull
#

I always thought they were something to store power diamonds in

#

Like casings?

normal berry
#

^

round fossil
#

They are diamond shaped.

steady geyser
#

i think it might not be coming from forest kalor

normal berry
#

i thought it was a mold of some sort

steady geyser
#

they use the same tech, and the temples are even the same

sweet dirge
#

i thought it was a mold of some sort
Ooooo ^^

normal berry
#

my theory: the raw material was placed inside the lower jar - like thing and then raised up to the top, both would begin to rotate and heat up, refining and molding the diamond into its shape, and when the process was over, the bottom piece would lower and bam! you have a power diamond

sweet dirge
#

Ooo

#

Seems legit pCoolKid

normal berry
#

I mean, surely there is a reason to why the inside is the exact shape of a small power diamond

round fossil
#

I need to candle run now.
But dang guys, y'all are making these theories impressive. It's hard to stop asking questions with this community 🤣

normal berry

my motto is never stop asking questions

you're right ri

I'll see if I can find anything else weird or unusaul on my run, and post it here. See what you guys come up with next :3

i love sky because of how open the lore is. it leaves you questioning and wanting more. it’ll all be revealed someday, but the fact that tgc allows for theories and whatnot is amazing

Maybe you put diamonds in them to make them work

Has anyone seen this before? I saw it beeping from the distance and came to check it out. It also is grabbable

maybe something from an older season? im not sure as i joined during enchantment

round fossil
#

(that candle count be do looking hawt)

Nope. Not familiar with me.

normal berry
#

have you tried grabbing it?

steady geyser
#

yes roger

#

someone triggered an old quest

nimble siren
#

maybe its the invisible boat?

steady geyser
#

used to give you a candle

nimble siren
#

idk much about the invisible boat

steady geyser
#

there is one quest similar to it in the forest temple

gray bridge
#

no the invisible boat has candles on it

normal berry
#

oh i remember those! there is also one in the prairie cave!

steady geyser
#

the invisible boat is located under the first bel, closest to the caves

#

you have to find the light fragments, but they vanish quickly

normal berry
#

to the invisible boat-mobileeeee!

steady geyser
#

its an old quest from the very beginning of live

#

to trigger the quest, sit next to the ring on the circle "manta" rock

gray bridge
#

ahh on the constellation-like platforms right?

steady geyser
#

where the birds fly from to go to the temple once the bells are lit

normal berry
#

ye

steady geyser
#

in forest temple, look on the right for a little door, there is a grey square in front of it. sitting there triggers a quest too

normal berry
#

do all of them trigger something?

#

i only know about a few in prairie and valley

steady geyser
#

finding the lights? it used to give you a portion of candle

#

oh valley? i dont know this one

normal berry
#

there is a circle platform in front of the ded bird in citadel, if you sit on it you can hear meditation bells

steady geyser
#

ohhh truee

normal berry
#

it used to be the old manta voice quest before being replaced by the manta voice spirit

steady geyser
#

thanks

#

and the bord is a leftover

i like the leftover bits from beta as tribute for beta players

normal berry

i like finding them

~~though i was really hopeful at first that they were some lore things stickerGloomy ~~

normal berry
#

if you don't have any lore then make your own lore! SkyLOL

steady geyser
#

yeah thats kinda ktjn's msg haha

#

do you know if there is any qiest like those we mentionned, in GW or vault?

normal berry
#

ive heard there is one in wasteland but i have yet to find it

gray bridge
#

oh iirc the gold pots in vault first floor were for beta quests

normal berry
#

yes but idk how to trigger the quest

steady geyser
#

i mean the one in forest is really hidden, you can't find it by acident, might be the same in GW and vault

#

although prairie and valley have constellation stones

sweet dirge
#

i mean the one in forest is really hidden, you can't find it by acident, might be the same in GW and vault
Maybe that's why it's called "hidden forest" SkyLOL
I'm sorry

normal berry
#

the way i find them is i watch old walkthroughs, find the place and try to recreate how they activated the quest

Has anyone seen this before? I saw it beeping from the distance and came to check it out. It also is grabbable

@wicked egret this is a creature quest from beta

hollow pier
#

So yes, it's a depiction of the Elders, and the King.
@round fossil @cinder bough it’s canon that the 6 falling stars from orbit in the intro are the elders, but as we see a 7th star emerge from the clouds and not fall we think that humanoid figures in the middle might not be the eden elder? We’re not sure; I personally think it’s representative of the megabird

#

the red stones are an attempt to make a better blue stone, but it went wrong: it takes light and gives off none of its own.
@chilly kestrel I think the red stones are broken pieces of the eden megadiamond/darkstone probably which used to be blue before it broke

round fossil
#

Why would the megabird be represented by a huminoud figure tho? pThink

deep heart
#

here's my take- it's a similar way with god-like figures. Nobody knows what they look like, but they exist.

hushed steeple
#

The seventh star was the elder of eden. Thats who remain in the clouds

chilly kestrel
#

I don’t think it broke, I think they tried to upgrade it and it worked a little too well

deep heart
#

I believe there are multiple levels of gods- sky kids, spirits, elders, and the 'god' god

hushed steeple
#

The megabird is just an idea of the source of life (the light)

chilly kestrel
#

“It soaks up so much light! This is the perfect energy- oh goodness. Oh no”

hushed steeple
#

From what I've read

deep heart
#

like a guide! Kinda like how mantas kidnap you in daylight

#

with the red stone thing- I saw a video from beta that had kindof the same blue as the structure in ||orbit.|| it looked almost exactly the same- but just with diff. colors and apparently, it was a glitch

hollow pier
#

i mean the one in forest is really hidden, you can't find it by acident, might be the same in GW and vault
@steady geyser I found the forest one by accident hahaha

#

I don’t think it broke, I think they tried to upgrade it and it worked a little too well
@chilly kestrel it’s definitely broken, if you get close to it you can see it’s shattered

deep heart
#

or maybe it got so corrupt (when you get a lot of something, a thing can turn greedy)

hollow pier
round fossil
#

I am back from candle hunting...

#

And I have one question.

lethal stump
#

i think it’s just a fun easter egg

wise rampart
#

There was an old beta quest to find the eagle nest in the hidden forest

#

so like the oob in prairie temple that was an old beta connector to forest, I guarantee this is just something they never removed

round fossil
#

Ok but no for real, the eggs can't be a thing xd

#

Ngl, I was kinda joking for that one

#

So most of you all probably know this, but in the area with the first spirit, under the walkway, you can find some murals. The mural itself is pretty interesting, I think it relates to the layout of Sky (like a general map, sorta).

It basically shows, (like, 99% positive on this one) Eden and the land below it. And then a forest surrounding it. So maybe the forest surrounds the Realms past it? pThink

#

(dw, I'm not blocking anything important.)

#

I wanna know what you guys think about how this mural relates to Sky, and it's layout. And what you think those buildings are in the Mural.

lethal stump
#

im p sure that temple is the forest temple

hushed steeple
#

Yeah^

#

That's just the hidden forest

#

realm

hollow pier
#

I also think it’s the forest temple, it shows them taking the boats from praire filled with light to the temple/factory

hushed steeple
#

Mhm

brittle gust
#

What if the rain on forest actually regens light but because of corruption it drains the light instead?

round fossil
#

That would actually be an interesting thought.

hushed steeple
#

Aren't we missing something?

#

I mean where are those structures beside the forest temple as shown in the mural?

#

Well the kingdoms are now ruins so Im pretty sure those structures are just destroyed.

#

They use to be civilization

#

Is is tho? We see it in other murals

#

Ohh you're right

#

I never noticed

#

But why is it surrounded by tall trees?

#

So let's say its not the forest temple, then maybe its the wasteland temple? Considering the order of the kingdoms we see and also the structure.

#

It looks more like the broken building before the wasteland temple

#

I forgot what that one looked like

#

But does that mean that the wasteland was once surrounded by tall trees?

#

We're really missing something big

#

That structure couldn't be forest temple

#

Whats your theory?

#

Was it a factory?

#

I'm now clueless¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

Whats this above?

#

(I really should remember these buildings)

#

It's in sunny forest

#

But it can't be any factory/temple

#

This is so smol comparing with the building in mural

#

But looks built in same design

round fossil
#

But why would it be floating high above the actual land?

#

Wouldn't that be considered Eden?

hushed steeple
#

I dont think so

#

Eden is not like that

#

Scroll up I've posted a pic from intro

#

The big temple we see in the mural can't be forest temple

#

I'm pretty sure now

round fossil
#

Then if that's the forest temple, then what building could that bigger one be.....

hushed steeple
#

That's where i stucked

round fossil
#

Well let's see. There are 3 possibilities here.

If we consider the fact that the Temple is floating above the land, the bigger structure could be either

  1. The Prarie Temple
  2. The Isle Temple
  3. A whole different area besides Sky altogether (not likely)

It could also be of a different temple from a different realm, but it wouldn't fit like that.... Unless it was a map, and that's how Sky was made. Maybe the Realms aren't actually "in order." We explore them, but we actually don't know for sure the exact layout and location of each Realm.

#

(except for Eden and Vault. The Vault being located below Eden)

hushed steeple
#

It can't be prairie and isle temple tho

#

That's more like wasteland temple (but it doesn't make sense that wasteland is before forest temple)

round fossil
#

No... It doesn't.

hushed steeple
#

Maybe they did some remodeling to forest temple lol

#

Wasteland temple lookes too tall

#

But similar tho

#

I need to go wasteland nowpFIRE

modest loom
#

isnt the tall one vault? since you ascend it

hushed steeple
#

Ye

#

Yeah

#

But I was talking about the one next to it

modest loom
#

o

#

oops

hushed steeple
#

The middle section looks taller than the mural under the bridge thing

#

It's cool

#

Hmm

#

Agree

round fossil
#

It does look like wasteland temple. But that one in the pic doesn't have the two smaller buildings next to it. So could it still be the wasteland temple?

hushed steeple
#

Well there's one building before wasteland temple

#

I don't have pic

#

I need to go now

#

Wasteland

round fossil
#

Gl, don't get shrimped

hushed steeple
#

I know home glitchpPopcorn

round fossil
#

Alr so let's say the structure in the mural isn't wasteland temple... What could it be then? And why would the forest temple be above it?

It just doesn't make sense that that would be there like that, without a reason. Even if it was wasteland temple, why is forest above it.

#

Also... I do want to point out the boats with the jugs in them in the Mural. Prarie, and Valley both had jugs. (Valley just in one area. The semi-secret tunnel in the Elders vision room)

hushed steeple
#

Guys...

#

I just think its the entrance to the forest kingdom

#

It looks similar and the rest is hidden in the clouds

round fossil
#

It still bugs me though. It doesn't seem right.

hushed steeple
#

Not the best picture but if you look for yourself and fly up there its similar

#

Which would explain why the top building looks like the forest temple, maybe its just up ahead in the distance (from the entrance)

round fossil
#

It still just doesn't sit right.

hushed steeple
#

Why?

ocean ivy
#

Tomorrow’s sky anni post is about wasteland oh boy pPopcorn

round fossil
#

There's something about it that just seems off. Why would the entrance be huge, but the temple itself just a small figure above it?
Shouldn't the temple be larger, the main thing? Why would anyone put emphasis on an entrance?
It doesn't fit...

hushed steeple
#

Well the entrance can still be important

round fossil
#

But why.

hushed steeple
#

And maybe the top building isn't the temple

#

The entrance might be important because its a welcome?

round fossil
#

How long have you been playing the game?

hushed steeple
#

Talking about entrance if guys have noticed all entrance of each realms are more like exit to the realm
(Don't include social place)

round fossil
#

I did feel that way a bit with each realm (except if course, Wasteland.)

hushed steeple
#

There are broken structures beside it

round fossil
#

That's directly in front of Wastelands temple tho. But I could picture a whole building looking like that before the Storm happened.

hushed steeple
#

It's too confusing

#

I just think its the entrance to the forest kingdom
@hushed steeple that's the prairie temple

#

Which enters into the forest kingdom

#

So what

I do just have to appreciate the fact that the devs just slapped something in here like this, and everyone just be assuming it's forest. Like, this story is more confusing than a pretzel rn, and I need sleep xd

do any of you know if there's any significance to the accessory shrine is usually more "decorated" than the other cosmetics shrine?

I stand corrected; the big building more closely matches the wasteland temple icon-my memory failed me

kind bobcat
#

The left painting is Isle, prairie and forest temple, from bottom to top.

lethal stump
#

isle isn’t in those paintings

hollow pier
#

In which case all three of these are forest factories (the forest temple is just a factory)

lethal stump
#

it’s (from bottom to top, left then right)
Prairie, Forest, Valley
GW, Vault, Eden

kind bobcat
#

Or it could just be something insignificant, the valley concept arts do show that the kingdom does indeed have residencies.

hushed steeple
#

Yeah these were once civilizations

#

Even if each kingdom had their roles

#

there were people living there

#

I stand corrected; the big building more closely matches the wasteland temple icon-my memory failed me
@hollow pier but hage it's really odd to agree that wasteland building is in forest

#

Maybe the mural isn't accurate?

#

Well the wasteland couldn't have always been so empty, maybe there were trees, but idk

hollow pier
#

I’m not saying that the wasteland factory is in forest, I’m saying it resembles the silhouette of the wasteland temple/factory

hushed steeple
#

Or yeah maybe its not accurate

#

Ah I understand

hollow pier
#

What I think we’re being shown here is that in forest there’s multiple diamond factories (forest temple design) that surround a wasteland style factory (wasteland temple design)

hushed steeple
#

Also the temple in wasteland has a significant shape at the top

hollow pier
#

@hushed steeple that’s a king statue!

hushed steeple
#

It is?

#

I think the building before the wasteland temple is more similar to the structure in the mural

#

Which was the picture I asked earlier right?

#

Ye

#

Oh ok

#

Maybe that structure is a gate?

hollow pier
#

What I think we’re being shown here is that in forest there’s multiple diamond factories (forest temple design) that surround a wasteland style factory (wasteland temple design)
This makes a lot of sense actually, because we know there’s diamond factories in wasteland, and also in forest MAYBE WASTELAND USED TO BE A FOREST BUT THEY CUT DOWN ALL THE TREES pEyes ah but then there’d be stumps like we have around the forest factory hmm

hushed steeple
#

Now this reminding me about that confusion ""wasteland was once forest""SkyScared

hollow pier
#

I think the building before the wasteland temple is more similar to the structure in the mural
@hushed steeple True! But since the mural depicts a building surrounded by forest style factories and we can’t visit this building perhaps it’s built the same style as wasteland temple but without the king statues SkyThink

hushed steeple
#

There are broken buildings beside that structure as well👀

swift helm
#

:O

hushed steeple
#

Ok ... Guys I'm thinking something

#

Let's go backwards from wasteland temple

#

This building and after this there's a broken factory in graveyard is in little high

#

Same like the mural

#

A factory high above from that structure

#

Kinda similar

#

Hmmm

#

I'm confused now lol imma journey to wasteland and look around

kind bobcat
#

Maybe with enough thinking we can recreate wasteland before it was ruined.

obtuse yarrow
#

so then it'll just be the golden land with no waste lol

kind bobcat
#

Exactly

#

If only we didn't have that much sand.

#

I hate sand

obtuse yarrow
#
  • what even is the golden part of the wasteland
#

every time i go there i get stressed lmao so i lovingly call it trashland ❤️

kind bobcat
#

Well, the broken temple in wasteland is exactly the same as the forest temple

hushed steeple
#

Maybe its cause the sand is yellow lmao

#

Jk

kind bobcat
#

the sand

#

IS

#

G R E E E E N

hushed steeple
#

Well now it is

obtuse yarrow
#

bc it's so dark and awful 😭

hushed steeple
#

Cause it's a waste

#

Yus

obtuse yarrow
#

im blaming it on the crabs'

hushed steeple
#

Also there are multiple giant pipes around

#

What were they for?

kind bobcat
#

For piping stuff

obtuse yarrow
#

oo there's the shipwreck there too right? maybe pirates with gold 🧐

kind bobcat
#

I guess

obtuse yarrow
#

trash i guess?

hushed steeple
#

Or WASTE

#

Lolol

obtuse yarrow
#

bc it used to be a big temple city right? but now it's a ~wasteland~ with no actual waste

kind bobcat
#

The shipwreck section of wasteland is incredibly low.

#

Maybe the sea level was higher back then.

#

What if wasteland was a floating city?

obtuse yarrow
#

oo maybe

kind bobcat
#

And then the water levels dropped and everything got buried under the sand.

#

Kinda unlikely with the catapult in graveyard

#

If the sea level was higher, it would be submerged

obtuse yarrow
#

shipwreck -> battlefield -> graveyard

hushed steeple
#

Anyone has a pic of broken factory?

obtuse yarrow
#

therefore wasteland i guess

kind bobcat
#

Or are you referring to the gatehouse in front of the wasteland temple

obtuse yarrow
#

maybe later ill go examine all the terrain and see if i can find any other cool things

#

once the sky twt acct posts GW for the 7 days of sky we'll know more i guess

delicate coral
#

I don’t think that mural is depicting GW

#

Note the archway with the point on top, that’s not something I can find any trace of in wasteland

#

At the very bottom

Idk I just don’t logically see them being wasteland, all the murals in other realms seem to depict what happened specifically in those realms

kind bobcat
#

Yeah, i see trees in that mural

delicate coral
#

Well they were saying that the mural may depict GW before it turned into a wasteland, that it had trees before the factory stuff started

obtuse yarrow
#

that mural screenshot was taken in the forest right? so it's probably the forest

kind bobcat
#

Probably forming a square or grid

#

Before it broke down

hushed steeple
#

My poor drawingstickerGloomy

eager vapor
#

Perhaps the pillars were parts of bridges for the workers?

kind bobcat
eager vapor
#

From the factory

#

Power ups?

kind bobcat
#

Maybe they industrialized them.

#

Why else would the prairie spirits gather them.

obtuse yarrow
#

mass production and capitalism even in sky 😔

hushed steeple
#

It's for making powered diamond

kind bobcat
#

this is starting to sound a lot more like Journey

sly kestrel
#

Grammar 101

kind bobcat
#

So either that mural depicts butterflies brought from prairie to forest, or wasteland bringing a heck ton of butterflies for no apparent reason

eager vapor
#

Is journey like the beginning or another part of it?

delicate coral
#

They were producing diamonds in both realms probably

sly kestrel
#

Journey has no part in sky in terms of the story

delicate coral
#

The same machine in forest temple can be found destroyed in GW

kind bobcat
#

Y e s

sly kestrel
#

Cuz they are both factories

#

There’s more actually

kind bobcat
#

Maybe the pipes were used to transport butterflies.

hushed steeple
#

Just an another pic of factory

#

2d pic

sly kestrel
#

There’s one, another to the right of where ur standing

#

It used to be visible easily but now u have to fly to the oil water and go up to the fog

hushed steeple
#

Jay what do you think about that forest mural..?
What's that structure?

sly kestrel
#

But point is, wasteland was used for industry as well as forest
Only this time, they took it too far

hushed steeple
#

...

kind bobcat
#

This one?

hushed steeple
#

That's the wasteland temple

kind bobcat
#

It is? pEyes

delicate coral
#

Maybe it’s the easy way out but I think the mural is just inaccurate when it comes to the exact details. It does also show factories built on top of the clouds/trees, which we can’t see in any realm

kind bobcat
#

Maybe those murals predate the structures we see.

#

Grandfathers of the ancestor spirits.

#

Before everything screwed up

#

It could be depicting sometime between the beginning of civilization to eden.

hushed steeple
#

Speaking of eden, I wonder what it looked like before its fall

kind bobcat
#

Well, eden

#

Minus the pipes

#

And metal stuff

sly kestrel
#

Pretty sure it was built with the pipes

kind bobcat
#

In the orbit cutscene literally everything gets obliterated

#

except for that palace

#

Everything else gets destroyed

#

Even the vault.

#

In the beginning of the cutscene you can see the vault shrine collapsing.

#

The stars are the symbol for the elders I think

#

Because that’s what I thought they represent in the intro when the ‘stars fall’

#

And then their progress can be tracked with the isle murals

lethal stump
#

yeh but why are they there

delicate coral
#

So maybe they’re there because the elders were on the boats?

#

Interestingly that same symbol is also what represents the instrument cosmetics

#

(Which is also the only cosmetic with a gold podium, which is consistent everywhere except orbit)

lethal stump
delicate coral
#

Yeah lol, it’s used for a lot of stuff which kind of confuses what it actually means

hushed steeple
#

@lethal stump ans of pic 1
Yes that's prairie elder mask

#

In vault mural he's wearing the mask (in drawing)

POEMS
POEMS
SKYSHOP HAS POEMS

sinful gull

YEAH

#

Hmm I wonder what sky kid normal height to a normal human...

#

Probably the size of a child...

#

Am I right?

wise storm
#

What if they’re six feet tall...

frozen pivot
#

I think i remember someone saying they were around 4 feet tall

#

This has been discussed before but i dun remember if its correct

sly kestrel
#

I want to discuss this so much
@outer pollen the text at the top of the posters is canon, each realm represents a stage of life, but besides that, the whole thing is jus a poster of concept art

hushed steeple
#

There's a pinned msg somewhere about skykids height in real life

The poetry in the sky shop has some nice lore in it, especially the two elder pins

ELDER OF THE ISLE PIN
Dawn breaks with stars fallen,
Ferries stir to distant calls.
Shepherd us home back upwards,
A herald awakes to heed us all.
“Dear Children, no hope was lost,
We saw of your return to us.”
The Elder opens up the skies,
And together again, we fly.

ELDER OF THE PRAIRIE PIN
Fields of harvest, prairies of joy.
Farmer and fauna as one.
The Elder protects the creatures of light,
For darkened days to come.
Fly up, fly away,
For the Children of Light in need.
We shall recall our days of wonder,
And feel its air once more.

The prairie elder one made me think, what if the pots are to protect the butterflies on their journey on the boats, rather than to just catch their light

yknow, if you made an imgur album of all the murals, i can ask a mod to pin it so pll dont have to run back and forth for the murals lol

Alright

#

Also i've never seen any murals in Valley, wasteland and vault

sinful gull

Ark pWow

spring blaze
#

but yeah theres not much going on there overall mural-wise

sly kestrel
#

Isle was the realm that seemed to be one of the first, and it is pretty obvious as u can see it is more primitive and doesn’t have much tech at all, no power diamonds no pipes or nothing
But it’s mural.....it’s showing all the realms including eden and vault, these are more towards the technology side and most likely created after isle since they have power diamonds and more industry. So if isle was so primitive and old, how did they know that these realms existed

lethal stump
#

i cant tell if the TGC pin poem is lore related or not

sly kestrel
#

If it’s not I will scream in 10 different languages

lethal stump
#

May there be sunshine in your soul,
Let the starlight be your wings,

big lore vibes

cobalt palm
#

The older Isle society may have still existed with the other kingdoms, just not progressed in technology and stayed a nomadic culture

sly kestrel
#

True true

#

After all, the tech was corrupted anyway
Maybe they chose to stick with supporting the light, along with praire and that’s why they were still primitive

spring blaze
#

english scream: aaaa
french scream: áááá

sly kestrel

scream in cursive

lethal stump

#

I think prairie may have been the start of the slippery slope to corruption and control of the light

sly kestrel
#

Of course
Valley got the good parts of the power diamonds SkyLOL

lethal stump
#

isle: * cave man time *
prairie: oh wow look at these cool ways to farm now that we have diamonds :>
forest: aha now we have a mining industry and jobs for everyone !
valley: FLOATING CITIES COOL
wasteland: * literally just dies *
vault: * disappears under mysterious circumstances *

#

Seems like Valley is an offering Realm

lethal stump
#

i hope we get pins for the other elders pWow

sly kestrel
#

Valley was actually the celebration realm

lethal stump
#

valley ikeman pins gonna sell out f a s t

kind bobcat
#

I still like the idea of wasteland actually being a floating city.

sly kestrel
#

Yes it did hold residence both rich and poor
But it was also for the celebration, and there’s more details but.....they are from concepts and I think u guys won’t like that

kind bobcat
#

Floating on water though

lethal stump
#

what spirit is the lightseekers cape from

sly kestrel
#

Crab call

#

Her memory is still a mystery to me

kind bobcat
#

So, back to the forest mural

lethal stump
#

?
i thought crab call was the one with sharp bits at the end ?

sly kestrel
#

Seemed like a medic or someone carrying a dead body or both or she was reviving someone or IDK

#

Her story was confusing

kind bobcat
sly kestrel
#

I wish we had their spirit names

#

It’s about forest lol

kind bobcat
#

If it's about forest

lethal stump
#

im collecting spirit names as they come

kind bobcat
#

Well

#

Why

#

ah yes, imported butterfly crackers

#

cronch

lethal stump
#

butterflies were likely turned into light for diamonds

sly kestrel
#

And yes the butterflies were industrialized

#

But

#

That’s not about wasteland

glad geode
#

I have a theory for the dark creature in the game 🙂

brittle gust
#

Did it confirm on what are the cause of the corruption or where did it came from?

kind bobcat
#

Don't know yet.

sly kestrel
#

No but it was confirmed the power diamonds were related to the downfall of the civilization

lethal stump
#

it’s likely the eden diamond ♦️ caused the corruption

sly kestrel
#

Don’t forget the ppl who created it

kind bobcat
#

Wasteland may be in it's current state because they industrialized butterflies too much leading to the absence of light in wasteland. Which probably allowed darkness to grow far beyond what it was capable of.

sly kestrel
#

Idk where u got the idea that wasteland used the butterflies

brittle gust
#

Maybe Wasteland were like that cause it is much close to Eden??

sly kestrel
#

There’s no pot delivery there

kind bobcat
#

none that we know of

#

i dont need more questions i need answers

glad geode
#

The krills and crabs are the real moths because they keep chasing us “children of light” so it could be that the dark creatures are fallen or corrupted skykids. They dont have wings unlike the other light creatures, so its possible their wings were taken from them?

sly kestrel
#

Yes it has favorites and one that is related to the forest one
But no butterfly use in wasteland

#

Only forest

kind bobcat
#

hMm

sly kestrel
#

The mural, it’s about forest

kind bobcat
#

alright

glad geode
#

Aren’t there butterflies in GW?

kind bobcat
