Eh little
I know broken bells exist but I'm trying to remember whether not I've seen any broken pots
But my god cutscene upon manta
But is it?
I think
relaxi theres broken pots in the prairie cave 
The pots has to be sealed
;0
U did see the red wax
You can die in isle if you try hard enough
For the undergrowd and some butterfly seals
you can die in Home too if you try really hard
YEAH BUT ITS HITTING ROCKS
DEATH
AND IS VERY NOT EFFCIENT
we said can, not well
Sweet sweet death
you can die ANYWHERE in sky
some places are easier than others
what's that claw mark on that one pot in prairie temple btw? And why the smiley formation for the red candles below? WHERE DO THE RED AND WHITE CANDLES COME FROM? WHO PLACED THEM? DID THEY MAKE AND PLACE THEM OR DID THEY JUST SPURT OUT SUDDENLY? DONT CANDLE LIGHTS AND WAX BURN OUT? IN THAT CASE HOW ARE THEY RENEWED? WHO RINGS THE EDEN AND ISLE BELL?
Can you die in orbit?
YOU CANT HIT THE ROCK HARD ENOUGH
I have so many questions right now
Calm down
the smiley isan easter egg!
The candle formation is just for fun
thats it
devs probably were like “what do we do with the empty space?” so they slapped a smiley face there and called it a day
Well, is you oob in orbit that technically is death in orbit
The candle we hold comes straight outof our middle area
but bricky said everything in sky was lore. Isn't there some kind of mystery or background behind it? 
Yeah that candle formation has been in the game since forever
Since I was a baby moth in July 2018
I think thoose are like office eastereggs at this point
There’s a way, I’ve seen people do it
For a smileyface I'm concerned@spring blaze
I was curious and wanted to see if I could get there and I could
I mean
To answer your « do they burn out » question, my theory is that they are on a time loop and thus can’t burn down all their wax
For candles there is a explaination
ITS LITERALLY COMING OUTOF UR BODY
The light that is
Wait, there are krebs in office, so you can even die there
time loop? so the elders/ spirits could control time? Too OP
No, it’s a pendant
Well we are children of light
Nope, megabird is in control of the loop in this theory
what about the claw marks on the pot? was there some kind of beast? Nothing in Sky has claws from what I can remember
WHALE
How does magabird look like?
The prarie elder needed to cut his nails
Not krills or crabs. and those are the only aggressive creatures in sky we know of
Credit scene
dnfikffooa
Also area right before office gate
A concept art of Megan @mild lark
What did the scatch mark even look like
woah :0
IGNORE HUMAN WORLD
its like a clawwww
ah, the support for orbit being the eye
Orbit for being the eye?.???
its pointier and thinner on the ends but wider in the middle. 3 marks
Yeh
Megan looks cool though
Still has Megan
shes an octopus! >:D
Mega birb
you can die ANYWHERE in sky
Can confirm, died in sanc island
jellyfish? sorta.
ok ok
a meme, but here’s one of her designs
So beta sky used to have a human world?
Stupid idea but
@lethal stump OH MY
not beta sky. Concept art
ARNT ALL JELLY FISH TECHNACLLY DEAD
no?
n o ?
I mean
Jelly are both alive and dead at the same time
Most of the ones we see ingame are ghost formations
Yeah not if they were actually dead
technically irl jellyfishes are like brainless organic bags floating in the ocean, i consider them like zombies HAHA
LMAO
plastic bags also look like jellyfish so turtles will sometimes eat the bags because they hungry so this makes me sad
raw jellyfish is.. its not bad per se but its just kinda plan bland weird idk. tasteless crunchy jelly
cough lore discussion
do we know if elders age/die at the same rate as humans/ancestors ?
oh yeah! turtles eat jesllyfished
Topic went poof? just like all my friends
NO CLUE about elders age
CAN they die?
age is but a number
i think elders are like immortal
I’m wondering because I’m wondering, realistically, how long their reign was
we don't really have a concrete timeline
specifically the King’s
Realisticlly long enough to wreck wasteland thats for sure
age is but a number
one day you could see valley twins grumpy with an aching back like an old man and isle elder dancing around like its the 1960s
we have a general idea of events, but no idea of how long everything took
And eden was probibly the afterburn
relaxi thats like people irl tho LMAOS
i don’t think the elders physically age
I am concerned about the king tbh
theres these dancing old men you see on the streets and we have the gen z kids with back problems already

mentally?
otherwise the prince would grow up
LIKE WHAT ARE YOU WHY ARE YOU DEAD WHERE DID YOU GO
Calm down
where did you come from cotton eye joe
The elders aren't dead 
hey- let’s curb the caps
does the concept of love exist in sky? friendship clearly does and love is kinda like an extension of it
Oh, that elder is dead
Found this in golden wasteland oob
ah those are the setinals
king statues
Ofc laxi see hot dating
Seraph what 
Hot dating is a coding term i think
oh, is that the concept stuff?
Oh you know
dont you see hot dating on the concept arts
Thats probibly the what we see in the distance while in that weird activation krill shianagains
smh
Hard pass
?
It’s not a coding term lol
What has this even come to
in the world of sky im positive love exists
i just died again
It was most likely an indev name for the game
Because i missed my wing buffs
for me, the greatest example of love is the hands on hips stance we relive in valley for quests
No king references in eden
True
And found what looked like a waterfall
It’s a castle with a crown as a constellation
a child and, assuming, their parent appreciating the view of valley
i went to eden with 2 flaps, i dont regret it
familial love
what
how
I mean in the older betas they were trying to hint we were fragements of the king or something of it
they still are 
ARE THEY THO
oh yeah.. spirits give us their shiny bois each time we go thru eden. we lose them and they shatter during the red rock storm. normal overworld shiny bois return to where they are so do the wing buffs return to the spirits too? I mean, theyre SHATTERED and in the storm. How would they return to the realms and spirits??
The devs said that the king got thanos snapped and you can’t save him anymore
King got yeeted because he did to much bad stuff
He deserved it
we can’t save ourselves either
The king is dead
Long live vault mom
Long live the Skids!
Also who needed the symbols on the vaults elders head?
king go brr and died
do you need them, Hello ?
The king ate the apple and killed everyone because of his hubris
The king found half a worm in his apple.
Lmao
another question about the shiny bois: when theyre lost and shattered, they return to a random location thats been collected from, not where they were yoinked from by us. If they can stay in the spit of another star's then would that mean they are all one being but not at the same time? Kinda like Nyarlathotep
want the snake in the bible representing temptation?
no nno
the snake in the Bible was most likely Satan
Its just we dont know which one we lost
yeah but it’s like tempting eve to bite it
Ginsy who do you think the snake was
idk
i'm not christian so-
why is this bible study all of a sudden
we dont know which one we yoinked
bc eden
This is Lore
Or taken
Garden of eden is not strictly Christian
i always saw it as temptation, not satan haha
and king with what looks like fruit
Do tell.
"Mommy why are these people talking about the bible?"
Its not gonna just take the piece of wing u just thrown in
Itsj gonna take a random one
I dont quite understand but thanks for the answer hello :)
Cause its a pool
sp shiny bois are water? liquid?
its like u cards together but the game always takes a random card
i might steal my dad’s bible to figure this out
last time i heard the garden of eden story i was like 6 and it was heavily simplified
aaa i get it
🧱 “Thall shalt not steal”
It'd be cool if we had some sort of cryptid being like Nyarlathotep in Sky tho 
That’s just the whale
WHAT
So does whale-kun have knowledge of everything? Is whale-kun's knowledge too much for us to comprehend? Will we die if we try to?
i was told to mop the floor an hour ago.
'tis just a floor
dude, stop
Dude.
beta spoilers dont count as lore yet until they make it into live
I am back lore chat, what happened
mk
i pretend i do not see
Please keep it in the beta channels 
Hello spoiled something
oops
but in reality i see 
Oopsie
Pardon
If you know you’re not supposed to talk about beta why would you say it anyway
cant believe you did that in front of a mod
I did not know frick
Ehhh?
Some wedges you got there 
s p a n k
~~I’m innocent ~~
Krebb

Krebb
wait hold ip
A n y w a y s
Let us talk about le krebs
up*
so from Sanctuary, we can see that the little black specks on creatures may be corrupting them and making them aggressive
Where were we
Yes
the friendly crabs have no specks
Yep
Yes but if u concider that krills also have that particle
and krill have so many specks they shed them
OH MY GOD
So they are mean
CAN WE PACIFY KRILLS IF THE SOECKS WERE GONE THEN?
I honestly believe they are just neutral but the specks
These specks?
yeah
Yes
Appears when you almost die in eden
Yayayayayya
no we die :(
I find it interesting that we shatter after turning to stone
You get those when you get hit by a krill too
Haha kril go wryyyyyyyy
Ima guess those particles targets light for some reason
I call it krill dandruff
darkness spores 
Is it form the krill tho?
Possibly from the explosion in Eden?
stone is kinda hardened clay (i guess) and people say skykids are made of clay so do we basically just harden to the point where the pressure is too much and then we shatter?
It would be a nightmare that krill will be attracted to one's deep call
perhaps they are searching for light to be able to return to the light
ooh I have an idea
Or did the krills live in a area that has those particles
Chocolate chips 
stone is kinda hardened clay (i guess) and people say skykids are made of clay so do we basically just harden to the point where the pressure is too much and then we shatter?
@spice kernel this is deep
I have an album of pictures of me dying
so we can see lots of light creatures heading toward Eden throughout the game, and there are many in Eden
what if the (corrupted) krill and crabs are continually searching for a way to get light back so they can ascend to orbit with everything else?
same goober
Also what about the corpses of spirits we save
so many pictures
Ö! The krill are covered in particles engineered in a lab in Wasteland, and when it exploded, it covered the krill and made them violent. My theory.
In graveyard the specks are more visible
Dont they have those particles as well
nike krill
I feel like
Nikrill
Those particles drive them to target light
Which would make sense since there isnt any candles visable in wastland
mind control tekunoroji :0
Like the areas where they patrol
Also, the particles are present in all three maps of Eden
Yes!
Those particles
And they target light!
The climb, eden and stormlock
Those pesky particles
i feel like the particles themselves gnaw away at light
i bet it’s darkness spores of some kind
Pebbles
Im going to guess red might been its natural colour when a large clump of it is together
as if it’s a fungus
Wait
Or krills are literally just a clump of particles
Darkness plants do look like mushrooms
THEY ARE SPORES
YOO
our capes are made out of pure light. when we're not fully charged in the final area, we have specks and our cape is torn
when fully charged, all specks are gone and the cape is mended
hence why I think the particles themselves nom nom light
our capes are made out of pure light. when we're not fully charged in the final area, we have specks and our cape is torn
@spice kernel where final areaaa?
The darkness flakes are bad
EDEN
ye
I wanna see
Torn cape check
honestly darkness flakes might not even be darkness it might be just the diamond specks
we kinda have blazes and specks of light fly out of us when we're fully charged too
True
haha light go "begone dark"
We do have specs of light spew out when we flap
Yes
Can u kill krill when u shoot light beams to em?
skids can’t fight
two characters of almost equal power fire two equal powered blasts
I dont think we have the equivilant amout of sky kids light to throw the krills particles off
No I mean imagine that they can
one finds more willpower and their blast overcomes the other, thus countering it with extra energy left behind
Yeah but its probibly a ton of sky kids swarming one krill
if we take the technical irl issues out
Darkness specks also appear in the alef room
any reason for max 8 skykids per server?
gameplay
LA G
The server might lag if there is more
Rendering skykids strains my gpu
if we take the technical irl issues out
Do krills have armour?
on a lore based level
Do krills have armour?
@bleak basin like a shell maybe?
they kinda groan too
I didnt get to screenshot it though
Also 180 turn
mOaNs Of PaIn
on a lore based level
@spice kernel mmm I cant think of a reason
the krill groans further imply darkness specs mind controlling them ig

Krills were always krills
hey, imma drop out for a bit, reading the story of eden
They attack instantly
@kind bobcat wryyyyyyy
specs 
But war shinanagains and then the thing exploaded
Why does krill lock on first before attacking?
Did u not see its massive e y e
to focus! theyre near sighted
Rip
That would explain why they cannot see us when we are hidning but
If they are dark dragons...then where does the light in their sye come from?
The energy I mean
They did say
sometimes when krilled, you lose winged light but not your light itself (as in appearance). You still gain the darkness specs tho. Any lore-possible reasons for that? (see my image above)
Thats just how our skykids interpret them
How the hell do u not lose winglight and get hit
sometimes when krilled, you lose winged light but not your light itself (as in appearance). You still gain the darkness specs tho. Any lore-possible reasons for that? (see my image above)
@spice kernel they still have inner light I guess
Glitch?
The fire
inner light >:0
We do have a inner light
i asked the QnH channel one time
Represented by the candle
they said it can happen and isnt quite a bug
HMMMN
HMMMMMM
gimme a dime-
The reason why we shatter in eden could be that RED FLAMING ROCKS ARE RAINING DOWN ON US AT MACH 3
And Inner Light
GOOBER TRUE
we do have inner light
Hmmm phYsiCs
Still doesnt explain why the statues in the constant rain area doesnt shatter though 
We should been no rock mode
Well, we do. How else would we have a red candle that’s lit? Talking about inner light.
ok i go now :)
Bye
I mean
We did pull out the candle form us
And when we tuck it in the red candle is gone
It must be a hammerspace. Where else are the tables and bonfires coming from?
Hammerspace?
Bascilly a space that exisst in sky kids stomach light thingy

Or else why was there only one table to buy
but that would t explain
Why whenu move the table the old table moves
If u had infiate u would just throw out more tables
But the table doesn’t break, it’s always a new table
Yesh
when
so i just read the story of the Garden of Eden
alright im out
i shall now lurk
You all have invisible status.
things of note:
- It took seven days to make the earth, theres 7 elders
- The fruit of knowledge of good and evil was described by the serpent as able to « make you like God and know good and evil » so, hubris much ?
- The tree of knowledge of good and evil was in the centre of the garden, like the eden diamond is
also the tree of life
that’s a thing too
And taking the fruit-using the diamond- causes them to be cast out of the garden-makes Armageddon happen.🙂
God was so dramatic about that part
sounds like an apocalypse alright
lemme type it hère
The Lord God said to the serpent,
« Because you have done this,
Cursed are you more than cattle,
And more than every beast of the field;
On your belly you will go,
And dust you will eat
All the days of your life;
And I will put enmity
Between you and the woman,
And between your seed and her seed;
He shall bruise you on the head,
And you shall bruise him on the heel. »
To the woman He said,
« I will greatly multiply
Your pain in childbirth,
In pain you will bring forth children;
Yet your desire will be fore your husband,
And he will rule over you. »
Then to Adam He said, « Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree about which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat from it’;
Cursed is the ground because of you;
In toil you will eat of it
All the days of your life.
Both thorns and thistles it shall grow for you;
And you will eat the plants of the field;
By the sweat of your face
You will eat bread,
Till you return to the ground,
Because from it you were taken;
For you are dust,
And to dust you shall return. »
the bible is wordy, man
I know, I know
what i thinj is interesting is that this happens at the beginning of the bible...but at the end of the kingdom
Hmmm
I do think I remember the devs saying something about taking some from other religions
True
but i just think that its interesting that the beginning happens at the end
The end is my beginning
?
It’s a quote

the devs have said that this is only the first chapter
Uh oh Bricky and Amio

Henlo👋
might mess around and read the torah as well
but in english
because i don’t know hebrew
I was reading that.... That's awesome bricky
what do you think about my observations ?
Well I also think they brought some ideas from Bible
the most interesting is the name of the realm ... "Eden"
Nap time for me! Goodnight/morning/ afternoon to you all. 💤

- The tree of knowledge of good and evil was in the centre of the garden, like the eden diamond is
- The tree of life is also in the garden, so that might be the eden diamond too or something else ??
repost cause it got buried
Nice
so eden = beautiful place originally
snek = temptation/sin
the forbidden fruit/bad tree = eden diamond
tree of life = the light(?)
humans (adam/eve) = king/prince
this is what i think
snek: darkness
yez
Now I'm thinking if that ball type thing holding by the king is a knowledge apple.. it's like he's eating that in mural
i don't even know if the snake was actually snake because translation is complicated
or even cooler
God = the other elders
u think i have enough braincells to read
- checks *
41 pages of tiny obscure poetry ?
ill read cain and abel tomorrow
and slowly work through it
i’ll share any connections here
hey wait a
wait a sec i
im doing think
wait nvm
reading killed my braincells, carry on
yeah, the bible has like 1k pages
Cain and able were brothers. Cain was told to give sacrifice so he sacrificed his brother if I remember right but then god brought him back I think
it’s the New American Standard Bible
My dude. They share the same stories
i know
im just specifying
because semantics change from edition to edition
Ah
Well that’s mostly for the second testament
The first is usually the same all through
Or close to the same
To my understanding that is
religion is funky, man
especially the abrahamic ones
Tru
and since sky is inspired by many religions.......oh boy
however since we’re focusing on Eden which has mostly abrahamic references, that’s what i’m focusing on
That whole family tree of religion is a mess if I recall the sequence right
the abrahamic religions ?
it's complicated(tm)
very messy
i know
but this is what i have access to
it’s also what i can understand
i have niv with me
i have reading comprehension issues so like 
new international version, i'm gonna read the tower of babel since i think there could be some comparisons with babel and possibly vault/eden?
I would honestly look further back into the Mesopotamian religion
i cant read hebrew
true but it's going to take some searching to find a proper translation since stuff can be lost without knowing
we don’t really have a proper translation of the bible
it’s all
iffy
to a degree
just like sky lore :p

Sure does make things convenient huh?
when you want to figure out the lore of a video game so you get a degree in middle eastern theology
time to get a phd in astrophysics to explain why we see planets in the credits
because i’m lazy........
https://www.sparknotes.com/lit/oldtestament/section1/
O o o I can answer that!
sûre, Cat
We see planets cause from what we can tell of the solar system the sky world takes place in its only has one star which the planet revolves around, and also has a moon much like our planet does. But we can see that the elders knew about the two other planets in the citidale from the solar instrument in the center. The two large alternating plates that spin around the small globe in the center are the two planets wee see. So with this info we can assume the twin elders studied the stars.
So it’s just an extra small detail that supports the exsistance of those two plates
The twins are secret nerds........
ooo yeah that's plausible
see that's why i hc they look like total airheads at first but they're actually pretty smart
twins: * having a heated debate about the two observable planets *
vault: since when did they have a brain ?
I honestly think the valley area is based off of the mexica religion
o: how
Mexica ?
i've never heard of that religion let me go google
Aztecs as they’re commonly known today but the surviving people prefer to be called mexica

It’s pronounced ( meshica)
ahhh
also we need to look into buddhism
they’re the ones with the rebirth stuff
Xolotl represents the murdered twin who dwells in the darkness of Mictlan, while Quetzalcoatl ("The Precious Twin") represents the surviving twin who dwells in the light of the sun.[
lore: so what religions you thinking ?
tgc: yes
that’s big cain and abel vibes holy heck
which one do you think got vibe checked
oof, rip Ekh
Spiky hair got vibe checked and failed
but the twins are mirrors of each other
aside from that stone, it doesn’t seem like there’s much difference between them
They’re their own beings in a way
Re watch the cut seen and see how hill hair is more upfront

While spike is trying his best to show he’s just as good
Yo jay
I wonder if they're slightly telepathic allowing them to predict the other more accurately, which makes proving seperate identities even harder
But he’s more careless
we’re talking about mythology and how it relates to sky
Good ol mythology references
i think spike would appreciate how much everyone loves his hair
Quetzalcoatl and xolotl are both representations of the sun
In its rising and setting
So I mean technically the twins would mirror each other....
And it’s make sense that they did
I was looking at twins in mythology the other day and saw Ibeji twins n thought of the statues we see in valley idk nsjsjsd
there’s a lot of twin mythos around the world
I think spike was the astronomer in this relationship. Xolotl brought darkness. And when do you see the stars and planets? At night.
spike is the brains
hill is the brawns
He has a brain? 
i think spike is the brawns
Yeah, hill's hair makes space for the brain
spike ended up wacking the light into the sky
Hill shows more skill in the hockey stick and agility
just because you can do astronomy doesn’t mean you make good decisions
intelligence ≠ wisdom
so spike might’ve been smart, but not wise
they’re young adults after all
The aftermath of the valley cutscene :
" Good job, you whacked it out of the arena "
" ITS EITHER ME OR NOBODY "
i heard a theory about how forest elder design could be based on kitsune but that's not really religious
Vault Vault’s outfit makes me want to look into Islam for her inspiration
tudungs are worn to cover women's hair
tudungs ?
ohhh
but ye, I know hijabs are to cover women’s hair
im just wondering if there’s any specific woman in the Quran who Vault might be similar to/based on
Well, could be a wise woman or so.
But almost every muslim woman wears a hijab
and they all look like vault mom 
infinite vault mom
yeah, i think there's no specific woman in quran vault vault is based on
vault vault is everywhere
Probably the wife of the prophet's friends.
yeah
afaik women don’t play a large role
i think looking elsewhere for Forest and Vault moms would be smort
like the virgin mary ?
lemme google
i dont know, i'm not so religious myself and i often forget about my Quran studies
it’s okay
Maryam or Mariam is the Aramaic form of the biblical name Miriam (the name of the prophetess Miriam, the sister of Moses). It is notably the name of Mary the mother of Jesus.[1][2][3] The spelling in the Semitic abjads is mrym (Hebrew מרים, Aramaic ܡܪܝܡ, Arabic مريم), which may be transliterated in a number of ways (Miryam, Miriyam, Mirijam, Marium, Maryam, Mariyam, Marijam, Meryem, Merjeme, etc.)
- Wikipedia
Vault elder, mother of the twins, keeper of knowledge
vault elder is the twins’ mom
?
megabird sculpting elders out of darkstone
Drops the valley elder and they snap in half
Sculpts the pieces to two separate elders
Megabirb really did went over budget 😔
she spent all of it on the absolute hunk of stone that is wasteland
T H O R
Judging by the forest and hair and what not
but that one time he was in a dress
........
forest auntie is trans now, no one can stop me
there was a story where Thor had to pretend to be his mom and get married to a giant(?) to get his hammer back
what about her ?
God of beauty and war 

sounds like wasteland tbh
I think forest auntie is based off of maybe brigit
freya was the goddess of beauty and a war in norse myth and it was a common like thing in norse myth for villains to be like “i want the hand of freya” and then they were like no
so yes otherwise correct bricky øwo
maybe she’s like. a yōkai of sorts
a kitsune ?
Baba yaga 
WAIT THERES A CELTIC GOD THAT SHAPE SHIFTS AND IS A WOMAN HOLD UP
isnt yōkai japanese mythology?
yes, bowl. Boop brought up japanese mythology so i replied with japanese mythology
Ceridwen
Forest aunt would seduce and lure you in the forest getting you lost.
like a will’o the wisp
just like a kitsune
she doesn’t kidnap us ??
not really, she just snatches it
we were giving it to her anyways
The bugs
OH RIGHT
Where you get stuck in the elder cutscene
SHE DID KIDNAP US
Forest mom, elder of tea and rice.
kami is god btw
swordsmiths
no before that
Yeah
The one with the animal-ish mask
Still has some legs unlike forest mom now which is basically a stick in a dress
anyways enough about elder legs
hEy forest mom is BEAUTIFUL
ah yes
all the elders rock heels
forest mom got no shoes

or does she 
she doesn’t ? i thought she had heels too
I dunno, been a while since i went to the oob
she can punt skykids across orbit
she will punt skids across orbit
She has punt Skids across orbit
Her legs are one with the boots
here's some close-ups of dark plants
Very Very Very High Boots
weird
So basically pants
they almost look, oily?
it’s
oily
do you think that when manta are ground into diamonds the body turns into an oil like substance?
Darkness plants are sticky
the leftovers ? probably
Or slippery
oh they're DEFINITELY slippery
You know the balls that hit mr. incredible in the first movie?
yeah?
magnet balls
I think that’s what the plants do
Darkness plants reproduce using spores(?)
And when they land in specific areas with enough darkness
They grow
mushrooms!!
like, they ARE alive but at the same time
Maybe they can be used to clean up dark water 
they aren't?
they sorta remind me of mushrooms, anyways
which it is
Squeeze mantas
There should be a lot of oily manta muck on the floor
Which there isnt
What if darkness plants absorb dark water and turn it to wax? 
Manta muck as in wasteland water
yes but there is muck in forest temple
yeah
im going there rn

We are going on a trip, on a little rocketship.
ok im hère
the sediment below the water looks a lot like the wasteland gunk
maybe not as concentrated, which is why it doesn’t hurt us, but it’s there
which makes sense
forest is still relatively untainted
I think most of the gunk evaporated and is falling as acid rain
they only have one factory, wasteland had many
personally i think they lived in eden, but it’s up to you for your headcanon
it has a moon
doesn’t make, just moves
which is why there's an ocean of muck in wasteland
the moon gravitated all the darkness water to that one spot
the only three times we see an ocean are in sanctuary, isle and wasteland
Do all of you have eachother added? 😳
wait are we assuming that in lore, time didn’t move ? like there was no day/night cycle in the realms ?
Could be.
yeah
Since the places are named after times of day
realms are time locked
But also in a time loop
ah, we have different theories
only home has a day/night cycle
According to brick's headcanon
I believe they were only time looped after the kingdom fell
which is why water in wasteland couldn't evaporate
before that they had day/night
oh actually
Wait, assuming it did get time-looped/locked
We can estimate the size of the sky kingdom
do you think the rain in forest came from water in sanctuary evaporating?
From isle to vault/eden
But it doesnt make sense since Eden is always visible
WHAT IF THE SKY WORLD IS FLAT
I think every realm is in a "time bubble"
same
a pocket of space where time will always be at a specific point
it’s part of the time loop theory
we don’t know, Cat
we’re still trying to figure that out
Like, if we enter the portal, we can only access one time(passage of time), but Sky Kingdom isn't really timelocked
@hushed steeple Every realm is stuck in a timeline of its own and the portals lead to those specific locations in time and space?
we see the time bubble change from valley to wasteland actually
but we can go from one realm to the other though.
it just goes from orange to green
yeah
Speaking of valley-wasteland i havent been there in a while
aside from a few ruins and the whale there's not much to see
So time behaves the same way climates behave in the real world?
Every area has a time of its own.
Yes
Isle is originally named Dawn
And vault is Night
Storm is well, storm.
Sky language
We havent even decrypted it yet
Or transcribed the isle opening
good thing sky ost is coming 
how long did it take to decipher hyper light drifter’s language
what if we went to megan and just said "heck" in sky language and she implodes
What's Hyper light drifter 
we will find lore and alef’s baby pictures
game with a similar vibe and similar method of storytelling devoid of words with a completely optional language to learn
In some theories, the lanterns in vault could project spirit mantas
there's also another game with it's own language, but it's language is the main gameplay
And we have no references how they are spelled
Nor what they mean
We're stuck with the vault runes, bell glyphs and Aurora's lines.
A few little problems:
- Multiple writing styles/systems
- No comparison to spoken dialogue
- No clear context on the writing systems except the wheels
I can't for the life of me remember the name
that one doesn’t show up, and is only an english cipher
Some dude came in and dropped the raw mural images 
those were datamined
datamined?
Wait so
:(

if only...
what ?
The raw murals
i can dm
i still have them no worries
ok
how many planets are there in sky universe?
if there are many why the megabird chooses to drop the skykid onto the planet that currently we play?
Yeah the mods deleted it 😔
what planets—
Planets
yeah I was wondering about that
i need to die again
what if the sky kingdom was an intergalactic empire
These
oh thank you
What if skykids are merely robots sent on a mission to explore the ruins of one of their colonies
ooo someone mentioned earlier that those two planets can be seen in citadel 
what if OUR planet is just the odd one out with eden
Big brain lore moment
what if home IS a different planet
Homespace is actually a spaceship
And the portals all lead to different planets
We're sent to purge the lands from darkness
sky kids who, we are now sky walkers
enchantment spirits were "traveling to prosperity" so what if ark was a spaceship 
woosh
enchantment spirits are definitely from OUR planet
hey, do y’all think forest and wasteland are on the same level ?
we literally see rhythm spirits leave on a big ol bird that we never see again
sanctuary spirits are from prairie
gratitude spirits appear to be from isle? that's the vibe I'm getting
the belonging family is from forest
and the lightseekers are in vault
we see them have a close relationship with the scholars there
no see
the lightseekers discovered the light orbs and gave them to scholars in vault
we can see eden from all the realms so they have to be connected
then they created the elemental lights and gave them to the enchantment spirits to travel to prosperity, while making blessings as a byproduct
the enchantment spirits took the blessings to trade with whoever they were traveling to
confetti
but that's it
two spirits ain't a lot
There's a flower before the 8-player puzzle
that's an Easter egg
arent those colored dots supposed to be flowers
not an actual sky flower
Flow reference when 
I knew Flower was another game but I didn't know they had made an easter egg for it too lmao
Well
Lets play Lore or Game Mechanics.
Or whatever its called
If the flowers were actually flowers it wouldnt fit the game's overall style and it would destroy phones
Imagine having to render individual petals of flowers in a flower bed
on a phone
i just thought of something
today Ktjn said that this might be « an orrery, an astrolabe, or maybe an armillary sphere » not word for word like that, but the gist is she put those forth as possibilities
now, i did a bit of digging and an astrolabe and armillary sphere are almost identical, however orreries are something different (showing a solar system)
i think it’s a fusion of the two
the thing in the centre is an armillary sphere, but the whole structure is an orrery, representing the solar system (or something to that degree) of sky
with the other three things being planets?
other four, yes
so that means the center is the sun
moon or sun or something
A cryptic interpretation of how time behaves in the sky kingdom
do you think the planets we see in the credits are actually moons and not planets?
Ktjn 
actually, their layout reminds me of the layout the big ghost whale lanterns go in in vault
Our prayers have been answered 
The big orb is called the light
Not sure what it is though
otherwise known as the friend constellation
Gateway to megabirb land
oh I just realized something
skykids are related to the Eden crown AND the light
so that means we're a sort of fusion of light and dark
In the concepts we're also called hybrids, i think.
Kitchen ktjn
yep
she’s typing something long...im scared 
yeah in the light-dark spectrum skids are in the middle in concept art
Skids are hybrids
I'm curious about what ktjn was typing👀

the lore
and then she deleted it at the last minute
you scared her off
~~this is the first time i've seen reika here with my own eyes
~~
okay, I promised I'd get back to y'all...just took a little longer than anticipated.
One of the folks who did a lot of the narrative work is my boss, so yes I have access to that information, but no I'm not going to terrorize her with every little question. I have a pretty hands-off approach to lore, design and narrative have a plan to reveal the lore as they see fit, and I will let them tell their story. Happy to answer technical questions when time permits.
How to pronounce Ktjn: 
Yes I play Sky nearly daily. I have 100% completion on all seasons and hustle my butt to do it. Would be tricky to do my job if i wasn't intimately familiar with the game and it's inner workings.
Some of Sky is translated in-house by developers who are native speakers of Chinese and Japanese. We recently picked up someone who speaks Korean and is slowly working on improving some of those translations. The rest is sent out for localization and the translation is done by folks who may not be as deeply familiar with the game as the people who made it.
@compact olive sorry for the ping but it's hours later. The screenshots you posted looks like a bad model and/or texture and probably doesn't have any lore-related implication to its existence.
Looks like that's about it since Ash popped in and answered some questions. Sorry again for the slow reply. 
Hi reika

thank you Ktjn !
Hulo
thank you ktjn
