A game theo-
A theory can’t be applied if there’s no proof!
And Megan is just s theory
Who’s that
A GAME THEORY
but who created the dark?
what exactly in us represents the dark part
In the game?
the one at the eden of dying on eden??
There's dark and light thing
And when we hug we got revived
What?!
We don’t need spoilers here!
anything really
You guys should check the pin for the confirmed canon on this game.. hope that helps
Yes there’s not much else other than megabirbs and the origins of the children and of the king
||you still click it||
Yes i still clicked them
There’s nothin that explains more subtles things such as why there’s pipes in eden and in the wastelands, why there’s floating orbs, why the coliseum is a little bit broken, why the island’s elder face is broken when we see him first....
(i dont expect an answer just wondering how skykids can do acrobatics… mb its inherited from the prince who may be agile as heck, or the world has v low gravity? or their cosmetics made of light made skykids v light?)
They see and imit what they see, like... childs
no i mean they can throw instruments in the air and catches it. they jump to sit
that sort of things
@sinful anvil their face mask is made of stone.. so low gravity is not it
the megabird and king may be just legends of sky
Maybe it’s us. As we are made of light stuff.
Genetics, i’ll say
True
Which, makes us light
yeah i agreeeee
Alef what the heck are you 
We virtually can't die too so biology can't help us
True
But how stone can move without breaking
Which, makes us light
@static spoke shepherd?
Stronk stone
Me, nah @willow shoal
the stone is small and irl ppl can carry rocks
Crabs, u mean?
Such as pumice
What do u mean? Do u mean stone are glowsticks or just not dense
i mean the stone as a mask is p small and doesnt seem thick, so it might be light enough to float in low gravity
Density affects the weight of an object
This is a fictional world, so real life concepts may not apply
Physics are still physics
does orbit/ skykids have anything to do with orbital hybridization (chemistry) or am i just overthinking? not anything but. it could be applied here somewhere idk.. the stars and the other dark kids maybe didnt have the ability to reunite spirits like we do? so thats why we exist
But what if the properties don’t exist in he world of Sky? @wide root
Then we won’t see what we see, we won’t fall on the ground, water would not be water candles won’t burn properly, well the world itself wouldn’t exist istelf because there’s no laws of physics!
No molecules!
gravity may not work as the same but … they’re like kids. who can do acrobatics. ik they’re not like human kids but damn
I know 10 years old that can do backflips, so i don’t see how gravity is different
Trampoline is a sport and they do acrobatics at a young age there
Even on the ground
10 years old??
Physics with an s. There is more than one property. The world may be made of different properties. And not all of the same properties as on Earth.
well mb young ppl can fare well in gymnastics
Yes, on the ground. If they don’t do it properly... well... anyway there’s kids that can do gymnastics in real life so i don’t see how sky’s gravity is different
Sky kids can do it again and again. Humans cannot.
unrelated
megabird: i created you to atone for a kingdom you didnt know you destroyed
megabird: and you get a flyaway hair that bounces when you run
I know what you mean pale child. Skids can do it again and again. Humans cannot.
@static spoke so you’re saying skykids aren’t biologic beings because they can’t feel tired
Yes
ofc they’re not
So they’re not real childrens
You seem to expect the world of Sky follows Earth’s ideas. Obviously, somethings are not the same.
Most of things are not the same tbh 
ive always been under the impression that a skykid is a stone doll with a soul of light
See you all later!
the ability to do acrobatics without prior teaching is a mystery. i personally hc this comes from the prince. he’s got to b fit or dabbled in some dark magic that makes him agile
sky gravity is the same as on earth,but in holy land skykids may be attracted by the strong light power coming from the megabird
the ability to do acrobatics without prior teaching is a mystery. i personally hc this comes from the prince. he’s got to b fit or dabbled in some dark magic that makes him agile
@sinful anvil they teach themselves by observation!
And what is the holy lands?!?
no they didnt. they didnt just move to the chair and sit. they just jumped and then sit. and thats not from an emote or anything. also have u seen the way they take out their instruments?? dramatic!!
And what is the holy lands?!?
@wide root when you give out all wings in eden, you will enter the holy land
It’s called the orbit, my dear
no they didnt. they didnt just move to the chair and sit. they just jumped and then sit. and thats not from an emote or anything. also have u seen the way they take out their instruments?? dramatic!!
@sinful anvil i’m talking about how they do the acrobatics! Placing tables is probably more of logic, because they figure how to place it, sitting on it.... everybody knows how to sit on something, and for the instruments, maybe that’s the same jedi powers from when you’re floating or making objects float
Holy land 😂
hmm plausible
speaking of ways skykids can manipulate gravity, i feel like nobody really talks about the telekinesis emote
i still dont know what exactly telekinesis emote does
Now someone who knows how to use the lore!
It makes objects float. I belive it’s associated with the levitation emote
It’s really only used for that one door in vault though. Otherwise we don’t get to float stuff
I think skykids have power diamonds, wich are objects that manipulates gravity too
well yes, but to what extent? is it just small things like lanterns and stuff? can skykids lift each other with telekinesis?
telekinesis emote is how tall skykids keep chibis in the air while holding hands with no effort 
Maybe it’s not a question of an emote, but rather the effect that causes the emote: the jedi power thing
is this megabird?
It causes the levitation emote and the telekinesis emote
i wonder if skykids can use telekinesis in like a joint effort to lift really big things
No this is a lot of things going into the brighest thing, wich is also made of animals and skychilds
thats part of the megabird, as seen when you watch until the end of the cutscene
i wonder if skykids can use telekinesis in like a joint effort to lift really big things
@nimble siren one day maybe it’s possible.... repairing the catapult in the graveyard?
a small star that makes up the huge megabird
Megabirb is just a constellation made of glowing stuff
Mantas and skychilds....
actually, how does the sun work anyways
we're in one of 4 planets according to the orrery? i think?
Wut
Photo?
i wanna do planet traveling...
Aliens
i assume that this refers to sun and planets because we only ever see one moon
In the ark of the season of enchantments?
yes
There's a crescent shaped object showing light when u look up in Eden
I assume it's the moon
there's apparently also a visible moon in shipwreck if you go high enough
actually.... i just remembered the big shiny ball that you see behind the portal in orbit when you go on the shiny stairs
welp there goes my headcanon
@orchid crypt this thing?
yeah, that
almost looks sun-like in that lighting, but it wouldn't make a lot of sense if forgotten ark is in the same timezone
although if the bright part is the sun, it'd at least still prove the existence of a moon since that'd be a partial eclipse we're seeing
forgotten ark's one is a lot less ambiguous
How did u get there? @orchid crypt
this isn't my image, it's a sample from the wiki
:O!!!
what exactly is this thing?
that probably doesn't make a whole lot of sense in terms of real world astral bodies
It does
a direct line of sight to a sun should mean the area's much more illuminated than it is
And blue suns do exist in the real universe
then a moon? or just an aesthetic ball of light?
And maybe cameras has sunglasses
i know blue suns are a thing, but if that thing actually is a sun, we probably shouldn't be able to see anything at all given its relative size and distance to where orbit is
Sunglasses
it's more likely something else, unless we assume that suns are depicted differently in the sky universe
Filters
the filter thing doesn't really make sense to me given that daylight prairie was illuminated much better without a sun of this size
the whole area of orbit doesn't actually make a lot of physical sense, relative to what we saw during the ascent actually
Skychildrens aren’t normal beings, for sure. They may not have sunglasses, but they might see with something different than eyes. Maybe it’s purely a game concept to not be blinded by the sun. Maybe we are on another planet, with a different atmsophere wich partially blocks the light
but i don't think it was ever really meant to given that ascent itself looked pretty metaphysical
Wich part of the ascension?
pretty much the entirety of it: none of the weather and physical terrain really lines up with what we saw in stormlock
from the very beginning of eden, the conditions looked far too extreme for any life to flourish, but we saw jellyfish and mantas on the way up through ascent, along with visual themes corresponding to a lot of different parts of the realms we passed by to get to eden -- it feels way too surreal for me to think it's real in a physical sense, rather than a spiritual ascent
For the first part (the difficult and painfull one) i think the big red power diamond causes enough energy to disrupt gravity and megnetic fields, and create massives winds by causing huge heat sources
Maybe it’s even.... a whormole
Causing everything to be absorbed to another place
@orchid crypt Maybe ascent doesn’t take place in Eden for the most part. The first part of ascent does fly you directly out of Eden, so maybe it takes you back down the mountain, back around the vault, and up into orbit
But that doesn’t explain how jellies and mantas would’ve survived
@orchid crypt Maybe ascent doesn’t take place in Eden for the most part. The first part of ascent does fly you directly out of Eden, so maybe it takes you back down the mountain, back around the vault, and up into orbit
So the vault is destroyed, but still intact
we're mostly flying upwards during ascent, i think; the one small drop that happens is only through a flooring that starts going upwards again
i hadn't really considered the idea that it was physically somewhere outside of eden, but it definitely didn't feel like the peak/where the red diamond was for me
Gravity: attraction by something
my theory is that eden is ground zero of the cataclysm that cast the falling stars down into the clouds
the vault is destroyed, but still intact
for that part, i kind of think of ascent as like...the sky kid's soul starts ascending towards orbit in something similar to the rapture or end of the world, because we see a lot of things crumbling and falling as we're going up
yea i just got here lol
Maybe the skykid enter the realm of the deads
welcome welcome, it's always just jumping into the deep end with this channel 
oh dear, the king propaganda starts 
Please direct this to #sky-memes or otherwise further "consequences" might occur
HAHAHAHAHA
Maybe the skykid enter the realm of the deads
that's roughly what i was thinking when i said that the ascent felt more metaphysical to me, yeah
Wait I need to ask
Is there any layout/timeline of what happened to the Sky Kingdom, the Elders, and The King? Is there anywhere I can find the basic structure of the story outside of the intro?
we've got quite a lot of concept art in the pins in this channel, if you're interested
The king does not exist!!!!!! It’s a conspiracy against lobsters!
king is a mech suit for prince < king is a mech suit for lobster
ah, then i don't think we have anything more specific; a lot of the lore hasn't been explicitly told to us
Indeed
AAAAAAA
Here there’s mainly debates about megabirb, the king and skychilds again.... and again............ and again...............
don't forget the propaganda
Ô_ō
also what the planet we are situated on looks like, the religion of the kingdom, the culture...... the behaviors of the creatures
I think the planet skychilds are on isn’t flat
no way it is
it doesn't look it when you go really high up in the air -- there's some curvature to the horizon
It’s a earth-shaped planet probably
skykid planet is definitely round imo, at least from ascent. maybe its a void on the other side nobody knows
Flat on the extreme south and north, probably because of the centrifusigsm effect as the planet rotates
Whomst has dared to defy the king
But it’s theory
How would the planet work?
How, with its many layers of clouds, still work without collapsing
sky is so complex i hate that its so complex but i love that its so complex
yeah, no planetary physics that i'm aware of seems like it'd support what kinda stuff we've seen in sky
theres so much information to take in my brain hurts
friendly reminder that the "underground" part of hidden forest is still in the sky 
It seems like the island and wasteland is a single continent
Because they have sand abd sea
Wasteland looks below the clouds
So they’re at the bottom
like Sanctuary level
Yes
wasteland has a cloud layer above the level for the most part -- the only thing which throws this for a bit of a loop is the forgotten ark area, since there're clouds at "sea level" in that section too
The ark is still in the wastelands
wasteland has a cloud layer above the level for the most part -- the only thing which throws this for a bit of a loop is the forgotten ark area, since there're clouds at "sea level" in that section too
@orchid crypt there’s not really a sea in ark though, there’s a sea of clouds but for the most part it all looks above sea level
There’s a bit of water but I don’t know if it counts
yeah, that's why i put "sea level" in quotation marks: it's what we'd normally see as sea level in the sense that it's surrounding the island, but with sky's terrain... 
At first view the ark looks just like the wastelands when we all entered it at the first time
Is the island and wasteland the same terrain?
I completely skipped over the quotes i’m sorry skdksnd
that, i'm not sure of: you mentioned that the boat we ride on to get to the forgotten ark rises out of the water a bit, but i could never really tell if it really flies up in the air or just hovers above the water a bit at that constant height to get to the ark
it cuts off so
the cutscene doesn't play out for long enough for me to really feel clear about which one's the right interpretation
And there’s no visible entrance way to the ark in the clouds
Yeah
There’s something off in the distance that looks like a structure but it looks nothing like Ark at all so I doubt that’s it
Other boats in like Prarie fly so maybe the boat flies
Maybe it’s indeed in a in-beetween-two-layer
Or a pocket layer itself in a layer, just like a bubble on a pond
there's also the question of cloud behaviour in sky, i guess: so far, we've been assuming that the presence of clouds indicates a high altitude, since that's what we're used to in real life
but there's probably nothing saying that clouds can't also form close to the ground in sky's world
Clouds aren’t normal, point
But it seems they might have a solid core, otterwise matter won’t stick to it
Also when it comes to the realms- you move upwards into prairie from isle, then descend into forest from prairie, then move up to valley from forest, then descend to wasteland from valley, then walk into the vault, which moves you to eden, which moves you upwards and inevitably out the top
when you put it that way, the world of sky is basically a giant rollercoaster for our sky kids 
... yes?
I was going to say my point but then I realized how stupid it sounds so
Say it. It won’t hurt
But it seems they might have a solid core, otterwise matter won’t stick to it
that's the most logical thing to assume with the kind of physics we're used to when we're looking at large buildings and large areas of land like forest and valley, yeah
i wonder how much of it might be floating landmass though, similar to what you might see in laputa
the whole idea about "land mixed with clouds at the lowest point of the level" really does one's head in trying to piece it together
They’re some sort of ice sublimating, and is even less dense than the air
Otherwise how it does float
The majority of it is in the clouds but certainly there are areas that are higher up and lower than others with some going to sea level
Sublimation causes the clouds, and they’re attracted by the coldnest of the ice to stay in place i think
i wonder how much of it might be floating landmass though, similar to what you might see in laputa
@orchid crypt more than normally ig
I don’t really know if we should even think too hard on Sky’s physics- the area it’s situated in is meant to be magical and physic defying so I don’t know if it’s something the devs were intending us to look at
?
entirely random and sudden thought, but i wonder if sky's terrain would be possible in real life if a small planet/moon formed an earth-like environment, and then crashed into a gas giant like jupiter and had all its land mass broken off and floating in the gas giant
.....probably not, since that'd completely destroy the inhabitable environment
I don’t think it would leave anything left, but I did like where you were headed with that
but that's the closest idea i've got to a naturally formed environment where you've got land mass suspended in mostly cloud/gas
yeah, it'd probably get completely blown to bits if it wasn't something artificially invoked
Unless there was an intention and action to preserve certain bits and pieces while the rest got destroyed I don’t exactly know if it would be possible
Oh, you guys missed the whole superconductor debate 
What debate
my brain cannot comprehend some of the things that are talked about in here
I saw it but i read like a bit of it before i got confused akfkakfk
it's okay, the devs thrive on our confusion 
If in Sky's world, there exists a room-temprature superconductor, the floating terrain makes sence 
And alot of other weird stuffs 
Why is this simultaneously the most active and the most chill channel on here
That light/wax in this world has supercondtive properties, and that causes the levitation factors, and also why the people of Sky are so obsessed with it 
You only see floating terrain in high light/creature concentration areas
Cause the lore is dark enough that it gets out of our system without us hating eachother and it's easy enough to flip topics and enjoy crack theoried
looking at how that magnetic cube twitches randomly and then tumbles endlessly, i can only conclude our sky kids are little magnet bois on a superconducting landmass 
that's exactly what my character does after getting thrown down into the lower part of wasteland
Could megan be the supercomputer?
Just kinda... More linked in than normal?
My brain is going to explode
... Now I wish I know the font so I could turn We Are Propoganda into We Are Supercomputer
You're lore'ing hard, bruh 
I never even considered Sky’s physics, I always assumed the Devs wanted us to focus more on the actual lore of the Sky Kingdom and whatnot, but now that I’ve joined the lore channel it’s like... my third eye has been forced open with a can opener and now there’s so much other stuff to take into account
Im back, with some pics
I was gonna lore yesterday but was down, even slept while doing vault farming
Isn't this a reference to the old forest elder concept? (Bunny)
Like I’m literally just a high school student with an intense hyperfixation on Sky I have absolutely no idea what a superconductor is and why it has to be room temperature
yes it’s a reference to old concept, Teth
yes
@sinful gull Superconduction is purely a physics trick to impress your Science teacher with, and annoy your friends with facts about

@modest sequoia it sounds super interesting though!!
im gone for like an hour and this becomes high school physics class ?
How about how the shape of the candle's flame proves that Sky has a gravitational field similar to earth's? 
is this what junior year is going to be like

Can you explain what king propaganda means to my dummy self
it’s basically anything that looks like the king, since he’s everywhere in a very... « i’m the king and i’m in charge and watching you » sort of way
Ooo
Even isle has king propaganda
Thanks

In the window weave patterns
Anything that is shaped like a diamond can be traced back to the king
and
uh
the carving of the king
and
uh
the carving of the king
@lethal stump WHERE 👀👀👀👀
i never visit isle i need to go back now
it lights up when you open the door
it’s been YEARS since i’ve been to Isle..... thank you I will pay him a visit
Also, poop?😂
ARE YOU SAYING THE HARD WOOD I STEPPED ON AND THOUGHT “CRUNCHY”?? ARENT WOOD
haahahha
my skykid went dummy
Im still trying to find the 'poop' reika mentioned
i thought thats beside the shipwreck through the pipe locked behind constellation
It is
krill [bleep]
idea:
what if we are made of darkstone? so imagine some darkstone made kids rejecting their mission for light and … successfully overrides
like an ai gone rogue
[im sorry megan]
on an extreme end, what if some darkstone kids feel their reincarnation calling and start to seek to destroy what we are trying to accomplish?
literal Alef battling Corrupted King
Incoming pics of isle of dawn
Thanks nagati
I guess this is the beginning of how (humanity?) discovered light (megabirbs poop/ember) and started using it as power
You forgot one mural
Wait lemme send it
Is it at the 2 player door?
😔 😔 😔 😔

I shall continue exploring @ me if needed
Strangely enough those 3 light orbs dont really recharge ur light..
Well teth I think those fallen stars shown in the pic are those one in intro
👌
Not the elders teth
Teth?
@/teth
Le moi
Oh him
The pic I sent is the place to obtain our instrument and staffs and stuff
I guess this is the beginning of how (humanity?) discovered light (megabirbs poop/ember) and started using it as power
@tender dune POOP POWER DKAJFAJDHSHD
Just realised the whole temple/ground looks like a boat
The people 0robably used the fallen stars /light to make to make materials and tech
poop powered tech
What do u mean by poop
Like megabird poop
I think it's possible that the megabird could be just an idea of what their God would look like?
It's a tgeory
Ok so in intro there shows 3 trails after the temple scene
And in isle there're 3 star falling
Megabird must've blessed them with stars, when they prayed for it
In mural
well, beginning cutscene says the fallen stars made a new home in the clouds.
Ye
I believe its the megabirds embers/leftovers (from the concept pic) and the ppl just used it as powersource
Must mean Eden?
So they are the civilizations of the kingdom?
Who are they?
the fallen stars
There were people before star people (us)
They prayed for something, and megabird gave stars
yeah i know that...
They harness its power to create
So the people must be natural and plates unnatural
*players unnatural
timeline mentioned the megabird in dismay blessed the kingdom and created the children of light(skykids)
Yes
#lore-discussion-spoilers message
Like in these images there are 3 stars falling
but except isle?
Assuming those are the same
isle may be not part of the sky
yeah,but in world map, its not at the top of clouds
From land world to sky world
From land world to sky world
@hushed steeple a connection?
Seems so
in the isle beach, there are some boats covered inside, what they were used to do?
Transportation

Yee
the ancients sent lights to the sky?
Nope
They used those lights as power source for their boats
That's how they operated the boat
ohm,hmmm so they used light power to drive the boats
They used those lights as power source for their boats
They used powered diamonds ... As far I remember
Pretty sure those fallen stars came from this ember concept. Then the king got greedy and decided to take the center of embers(eden) and so kaboom

isle was built before the forest, so i dont think they used the dark stone
maybe the creatures?
Those built at same time?
There are powered diamond elevator,2 players door in isle as well
I guess they used those orbs i sent at the beginning (the first primitive power source). Then they evolved into creating power diamonds
The door in temple uses powered diamond
U think maybe it was sent after creating the diamonds?
Cuz isle has the least amount of power diamonds
Of course
If we assume those temple built at same time it's not so vague
And there are people in sky world from beginning (before elders came)
So im guessing after creating the diamonds in the other worlds they imported a few to power up the isle
i need to see the concept art right now😂😂
tomcepts are in the pins 
Before we fall we are the connected after that were mixed 8 guess
?-?
We're made of darkness and light both....
That's what I think
We are the imprints of the children of the light, or just the children of the light
Our physical forms are dark vessel occupied by light, I guess
We are descendants of child of light and indifferent (which is dark version of child of light)
not confirmed, some of the sounds skids make when they move on certain surfaces were made with clay though
@sage isle the mask was made out of stone.. so yeah
tis a headcanon of a dev i think
Interesting.
I think we're light that when burned up on entry to sky we become a solid element
I just wanted to know because I'm trying to make my sky kid into a star wars oc, y'all are really helpful

We're wax
Here ye go for the unknownthtime😂
Come to think of it have we ever seen an indifferent
Wait child of light has hair?
Yea we all do
Never noticed that
R u talking about the connected or descendant
Come to think of it have we ever seen an indifferent
@wispy canopy maybe it was us just before eden went big boom
Connected@wispy canopy
But, I could be v e r y wrong
Sneky no need to spoiler tag anything in this channel
Ah, sorry. ^^"
No it's fine
((my theory is the indifferent is the prince so we're like half prince half connected))

Since he's the only tiny one who has a similar body as us
Possible
Indeed
Could the indifferent be the cause of the big bang at eden
King was the cause of kaboom
Hmmm
Power cell systems
Diamond?
You know the thing the vault elder gives us?
No
Then floats into da air?-
That damn huge red floating diamond shape on eden? Yeah that's a huge power diamond.
HA
Could it be possible that they tried to make a gd big diamond but it went corrupt?
So, I'm thinking he corrupted or mishandled a diamond and it went COD zombie nuke noise here
That pic isn’t the huge eden diamond, that’s the whole castle 
@sage isle yeah just like nuclear powerplant.. if you mishandled it a bit.. it backfired
Then, Where's the diampnd?- 
But I wonder why the Isle elder was disbanded
The diamond is basically the eye of eden
The diamond is around there but that pic doesn’t show it
I was gonna say it's in those swirl clouds above it
They didn’t add the tiny detail to be in other realms, it’s jus supposed to be something u see in only eden
No it was that huge thing on eden that shoot beam
But like I said earlier, the diamond is there, but that diamond shaped thing is the second broken half of the castle
Yea isn that the eye of efen
.....reread my message
Damn eye of Eden is tall
Holllly ship wreck
Megabird be chilling up there
Mega bird said to every sky kid:
8 don't think that's mege bird
Wait can someone screenshot what smiley face sent
That could be the star we all enter to get the wing buffs and reborn
I can’t see it
@sly kestrel
8 don't think that's mege bird
@wispy canopy back then, that huge thing was the megabird
I don’t think it’s the same thing today tho
Agreed
The last citscene in the game shows megabird
This is way too small to be megabird
Well, megabird is an abstract entity or something similar to it
Seeing that she consists from clusters of stars in the credit cutscene
Maybe the megabird in that specific concept art shows only part of her
Is king considered as elders?
I come with the realization that this cosmic creature is a mama with 2 bebeys
They're v small

I wonder what happened there
There are 4 baby mantas?
I forgot
I dunno there's probs more but i saw 2 flying infront of her
I wonder if they all died together or if mama bred in the afterlife 
I wonder what this means
Damn eye of Eden is tall
@mild lark hey uhh, is there a more high quality version of this image?
And also, i would like to ask what megabird is?
i can't go image hunting atm sorry
megabird basically is a god, in charge of the light and rebirth
general consensus it that she's in orbit and in the credits
in tomcepts (concept art by tom zhao) megabird is referred to as a 'she' so i'll just go with that
i drew a wonderful image of megabird but im not sure if i still have it
to be fair that's not even how megabird is supposed to look like chibi
res i will literally fight you my megabird is amazing and you know it
Are the inscriptions of sanctuary the same as the ones that call the mantas in prairie?? (Can't in-game screenshot in sanctuary)
yes i think so
you may want to ask brick and mochi about it to confirm since i don't dabble in the transcriptions
@lone hull wdym?
sorry i don't understand your message-
aurora is the megabird?

new theory: the singer AURORA is megabird
hahahaha y e s
that's why we hear her vocals
i mean it makes sense, it's been discussed before actually 

wait is that a legit photo of irl iceland
that's ho-oh
oh i was referring to AURORA the singer of the end credits but

sorry i misunderstood 
What is this thing? The king? Look huge tho
Found this when I digging for content at the pins.
quick question, is there any theories on how the area with the first krill has the same architecture features as the forest temple?
What is this thing? The king? Look huge tho
Found this when I digging for content at the pins.
i'll look later if no one has an answer yetbut it kinda looks like the king's head, i'm not very sure tho
quick question, is there any theories on how the area with the first krill has the same architecture features as the forest temple?
there's a theory that the forest temple is a power diamond factory, first krill area might also have been one since you see the see golden spinny thing you see in forest temple but it's broken
oh! yo snap
Yeee
Any ideas on what this thing is in prairie’s villages section?
It’s on the island with the two spirits
On the dock facing the left island
I was thinking the symbol was interesting since we don’t see many perfect circles around the kingdom
Also the two diamonds at the top seem like they mean something maybe
Its a device for recording time, u know
Oh yea this link I sent is the intro for those who'd like ref
When I brought it up here, they said its an easter egg
Its a device for recording time, u know
@sweet dirge
How does it work
i believe it was a clock for what's now the invisible boat
the one in hidden forest is supposed to indicate when the rainbow will appear
Ooo
if i understand it correctly, yeah -- though i haven't paid attention to how the clock face actually behaves in-game or in realtime (i.e. i don't know if it reflects the time in your actual real world location, or if it runs on something in-game to show exactly when something will happen)
the one in prairie shouldn't move, yeah, since the boat's "sorta" cut
can still be accessed doing this, but the fact that it's stored out of bounds to begin with probably breaks the clock

Hey guys just realised there must've been a warning the elders or people didn't adhere to
Found this in the intro
Yes
The intro lines make for very crazy theories.
The elders could've been warned about something by the narrator but chose to ignore it
Which led to the kingdom's destruction
Yea
Thing is darkness came, and the stars made their home in the clouds, only because darkness came, now
Something happened again for darkness to come this far
I think invasion at wasteland
That's where it probably started
Or the theory of the diamond
the one in hidden forest is supposed to indicate when the rainbow will appear
@orchid crypt /excuse me??/
yep i'm not sure when the rainbow appears though
I think every monday morning?
@gilded fossil i don't understand what the ping was for; did you have a specific question, or different info about that?
the wiki mentions this about hidden forest's rainbow, but doesn't mention the clock-like stone -- i'm not entirely sure what to make of that
just found this, regarding mentions of the clock stone
https://sky-children-of-the-light.fandom.com/f/p/3185248821051943305
/waaaaait, actually, i think i've seen an odd looking stone while farming before
how do i describe the location...you know the area where you can first enter the sunny forest that has the small crab cave?
there's a lit bonfire on a raised part of the level on the right side (assuming you just entered the area normally) -- the clock stone is near that bonfire, and is something that you normally encounter on candle runs because you actually burn dark plants off of it
it's at the candle cluster this player is heading towards at 4:39 (rewind or scrub forward a bit to get your bearings if that timestamp doesn't make it clear where that is)
The king is taller than I thought
Just about to ask that lol
/but the valley twins looks even hotter then
Lol

You see their character design
What's with the /
Should*
Why they so red? Were they painted for the ceremonies or something?
What's with the /
@kind bobcat /a signature so that when i steal phones people knows who has whose phone, although the game just "red" all my words soo
Why they so red? Were they painted for the ceremonies or something?
@tender dune /maybe they were put there by the people. white candles tends to unlock doors an stuff, red ones are just ..there
/aaaah, they're seasoned
Didn't I said the crab on valley are livestock?
No? Ok
The twins character design.. looking pretty cool
Found it on the pins
whats this building 
The twins character design.. looking pretty cool
@mild lark /they're frickin hooooooot
Current one also is terrifying though
/i want old concept krill back!!! (although, my phone cant even handle current krill let alone a lot of wavy hair
I'd have cried if the old concept krill attacked me
/im afraid of hair, not blocky roombas
Okay okay so I remembered someone mentioned looking for leitmotifs in the music when it released(?). I just wanted to say that yeah, there's an obvious leitmotif in a lot of the music. (Possible end game spoilers) ||So yenno the voice that sings when you go through orbit? That tune can be heard at least a few other places in the game. I know for sure I've heard it in one of the vault tracks, and I'm pretty sure it's in prairie too. I think I've heard it partially at the start of Eden(The big bwoaaa bwoaaa bwoa bwoaa that plays when you see the big red crystal for the first time after the first area of rocks). At least to me it sounds like some of the same notes. It'd make sense for it to be everywhere else too.|| Idk tho, I just have ears lol
Tbh the new krill is scarier and the old one is cooler
Srry it's a bit off topic but I remembered just now-
No need to mark spoiler here
;3; Oopsie
Yep
I was a bit unsure abt it lol
Yeah you can unleash the word eden as much as you want
Niice
I don't remember who mentioned looking for leitmotifs tho, but those are just things I've noticed while playing the game
me!! i mentioned the leitmotifs !
I rarely use headphones so I have never noticed that
/the leitmotif is fricken everywhere!!! i heard it while racing
But there's also a music sheet you can play with that melody
I dont remember which one, but I'm pretty sure it's from a base game spirit
butterfly spirit in prairie!
You sure?
wait, music sheet?
A sheet you can get in-game
hmm let me check
Gonna see if I can find it on the wiki hold on
/ah, i heared while getting butterfly spirit too!
A sheet you can get in-game
@frail talon /try the foxband they play all the sheets
i have a bunch of leitmotifs typed down and some tracks have multiple leitmotifs, so it's kinda hard for me to remember on the top of my head atm
Does it tell us about anything lore? Am I missing something here :(
the main melody at least plays on the piano
leitmotifs could be lore-relted
I think piano and harp play the same melodies
i have a theory on a few of the tracks
Leitmotifs are usually used to connect everything together in a way, arent they?
/hmm not lore, but the leitmotif represent a time in memory
yep! they're supposed to represent a sort of theme/idea
Like. They use the same melody so it feels familiar, but maybe has a different theme..?
/also, Valley Twins theme is called "the two heroes???"
no that's the wasteland elder's theme
Yes
Checked the wiki again, the sheet is from the manta call dude in Valley-
/whaaaaaaat???
😂
/wait i thought it was for the valley twins?
No, the valley twins theme is "Lets Play"
Name makes it seem like its for the twins
Two elders having civil war on wasteland ???
pines came in and said it could be because you (skid) are the second hero as you're saving the spirits
/holy eden this ties my elder 3 and 5 hated each other theory

@frail talon the end music also sounded a lot like isle music, just with a different tune
When the ost came out yesterday, most of us thought the heroes in the name "Two Heroes" could be :
- You and the wasteland elder
- A fallen elder that fought beside the wasteland elder
- Vault elder and wasteland elder
- You and someone else.
/what about forest elder and wasteland elder?
Or two heroes could be the spear ppl and shield ppl leaders
I don't know.
Do they have any special connection outside being elders tho?
Sure sure, but how so? We know they're all Elders but idk if there's any more in-game stuff that connects two specififc ones other than the twins-
All the elders knew eachother
/what about the shield that has a diamond on it?
the flight music to orbit can be heard in lv4 sleep emote, manta theme, an invitation, upwards dance and the story thus far according to my leitmotif notes which i haven't updated in a while-
That's Sky's theme
yes
Ya
i have it named as 'manta the kidnapper'
The 4-5 notes
We know, but it's a leitmotif in the music
Bro we know its the main theme
What makes you think i said you dont know 
the way you're explaining it??
Yknow what nvm that
How does the similarity of this theme gives us any clue about what happened? Other than the name of theme.. how?
leitmotif-wise
?
ok let me type in my theory, might be wrong but
this is particularly on 'lost and found'
I'll search what leitmotif mean first lol
roughly the beginning lost and found have the same chord progression as most of the elder's themes
it's the child of light, it was always the child of light
in particular, you can compare it to 'the story thus far'
In what part of the game does Lost and found play?
they start of similar, just that the story thus far adds in the additional leitmotif of the sky/manta the kidnapper theme lol
when you hug the shiny boy in eden
Ohh
what's interesting to note that in the vault cutscene, all the elders bow to you
this kind of ties in with another theory of mine
that the col = king = the shiny boy in eden = skykid
col..?
Children of light
if such a leitmotif plays when the shiny kid is there, wouldn't that mean that the kid is a sort of elder? since the leitmotif only plays in elder cutscenes
*child of light
because there's a singular child of light in the intro
Lol yea


Heavily related to the elders...
the only hole in this theory would be that two heroes doesn't have the 'elder' leitmotif
and i think forest mom? i should re-check
somewhat
In wasteland there are 2 shields and 2 spears
A spear next to a shield, and a spear thru a sheild
Two warriors may have dueled
It is battlefield so can't actually count on it but it's an idea
What's a leitmotif
One soldiers uses one sheild.. and the enemies uses one spear.. if there was two spear and two sheild.. that mean there four people have dueled there. One warrior wouldn't uses to sheild do they?
A soldier can use a shield and a spear
An elder did it
Spear in one hand, shield in another
So two warriors dueled
8th with a shield and a spear in hand
The spear user was attacking the sheild user .. it was not the same person .. imo
This a tgeory
A GAME THEO-
Yea
Tru
This is tuff
So what could the two warriors mean
There has to be some physical evidence
I'll listen to the soundtrack
Is it on utube guys
?
ost link on yt
~~sorry i got really excited earlier, i've never really seen anyone else discuss leitmotifs until now
~~
I've watched like 2 youtube vids about music in games and thats t lol
But I think it's interestng to hear and talk about how music is used in games and movies
@gray bridge I kinda see where you going with this leitmotif theory..
yeah i've watched a youtube channel that deals with that topic, that's why i think it'd be real nice to analyse the music for sky, regardless lore-wise or not 
||Tbh I've been wantng to get more into it since I like playing music mysel||
Did I see a normal building??
In the concepts
They thought of introducing sky by transitioning from the real world to the sky kingdom
That's what they came up with
Ooh old wasteland concepts right?
Must be concept for office
Damn imagine if real human are actually in this game... They be farming light with solar panel
The old wasteland concepts were abt seeing more modern buildings and stuff iirc
no office is based on tgc's office i think
Old wasteland elder was weird slug spider thing with TVs and stuff in it
Lemme see if I can find some of the pics-
@mild lark back then the levels before eden was an urban city
The information I got was from their 7 days of sky
Wasn't Wasteland too?
Damn I wish I found this game sooner

can you believe how much it developed 
Wow
From the human world to a whole new world.
I cant find the pic but I think they got it on their insta-
disney vibes
it's always been disneyland, huh
That means they were aiming for a human world before changing it to a complete different civilisation
I've seen all the pictures on the pins about the game development.. yeah it was pretty cool
Yes
hi boop 
Hi
What isekai'd mean?

Ooo
I see the spikies regenerate when my friend misses burning it fully
Is the prince still in this game?
I wonder what the true height of the king
The kind look taller than the wasteland elders.. which is the second biggest elder
Yeah I have that concept art in my gallery
I just wonder how tall the king is when our skykid is next to it
Well, the king isnt as tall as his statues.
Right?
Can't help but notice he wears a cape that closes his entire body... Or is it even a cape?
Mech?
Lmao that remind me of the big stone mech at office lol...
That thing be chilling in the cloud
@sweet dirge btw how do you know the king is big robot?
One of the concepts implies the prince used a beeg suit
Did somebody have a list of leitmotifs?
that was me as well
i gotta re-work it though, i'm not too sure if they're all accurate
oh okay
where would I find that?
I seem to recall that you posted an image of them all a while back
👀
oh yeah that'd be cool if you wouldn't mind 
Res... Could I have the leitmotifs list too..?
i'll dm both of you if yall don't mind 
ye sure thing
oh no that's the manta the kidnapper one
@sweet dirge btw how do you know the king is big robot?
@mild lark
Not exactly a robot but the prince used it as a sort of suit
What's a leitmotif
this is the best way i can explain it
it's like a melody that represents a certain idea/theme
A reoccurring theme?
yes
also, that concept art is why we think the king is just a giant mech suit
small guy with a huge ego
R u telling me that a leitmotif is the music in the background that serve some kind of info
yes and that info could possibly be lore-related
though that doesn't necessarily apply to all leitmotifs
Can u give an example pls, I'd really love to know more bout this
a leitmotif is basically just a recurring musical idea
my favourite example is what i call the 'death' leitmotif
it's not exactly lore-related afaik, but do you know the music in hidden forest?
it's called waltzing in the rain
Yea
and you know the ending piano solo that plays right before you get reborn
the keys are not the same, but the the progression is
i think it's better if you listen because i'm not sure if i'm using the right terms
yeah the melodic idea is the same, it's just in different keys
Alrite what's the name for the rebirth one
I know forest song name
What's the rebirth one
that's the first one I linked
It's not in the soundtrack since a different version was used at launch
yep, i hope it comes in vol 2
but yeah, those two that I linked have timestamps to where the leitmotif comes in
the second one starts a bit earlier but yes
i call it the death leitmotif as forest is the first area that properly introduces to you the concept of death (losing light)
yes, it is possible to die in all other areas but you don't really find that out when you first play until you get to forest, and i guess... you're still kinda dead as the music plays since it's only after the piano solo that you see yourself going to homespace
that's just my own theory though, but whether i'm right or not about it exactly, there's some sort of common theme/idea between the two
I can see how it can sound somewhat similar
Altho they sound diff
There a tad similarity
To clarify, leitmotif doesn't mean the whole song sounds the same
A leitmotif is just one small musical idea which can be found in more than one track
Just saying that because the leitmotif is very clear in those two, not just 'a tad similar'
hm I'm not 100% on it being a death motif though
It makes a lot of sense but I can't see why it wouldn't appear in wasteland's songs or in exhale
yeah i'm skeptical on that too now that i've thought about it more
but idk what else to call it for now
yeah it's fine as a working title
yep, guess i'll have to do some more searching
at the moment a link between forest/what's in forest and orbit/rebirth is pretty unclear to me
@sweet dirge so you saying that tiny black dot on the king's head is the prince??
Ok so.. isn't this represents the king's head? So if the prince was that black dot.. this statue is representing the actual king size imo
Rain theme
It’s the rain theme I think
The image here is a raindrop shape
And the theme starts playing in the credits when we start to see this shape more clearly
And obv it also rains in forest
That might not make a whole lot of sense but it’s what I’ve come up with, open for discussion
I think that if we can say with any confidence that ‘rain’ has its own leitmotif, we can then go on to the natural question of what rain represents in the story, because it must be somewhat significant given that it features visually and musically right before rebirth
i can kind of see the raindrop yes, i can roll with the rain thing for now
the only instance of rain (that is, raining water and not rocks) in the game would be in forest
and the rain drains you of your light
Yeah I think we’d need to see the theme reappear in a future season or something to confirm that with any certainty
Two instances really isn’t enough to say for sure but that seems to me like the only thing they have in common that’s not found in any other realm
oh are we talking abot the kking and his giant body with a crystal on top?
yes

he’d have to be actually the size of the wasteland statues if he was a mech
I think kings "head" is darkstone growing out of his own head
for proof here is me in the kings head at size 1, i fit
in that pic we’re in wasteland battlefield

we were doing table glitch around the area
it got rather chaotic
Me and my friend yeeted upward in home hahah
I'll probs never be able to reach the island so I'll give up
but my point is, at size 1-ish, i fit inside the kings head with some room to spare, and since the concept art prince is not size 1 but is a bit smaller, i think it’s reasonable to assume the mech would have been about the size of the wasteland statues
I thought we had a pic showing the statued as smaller than king
you want the king to be taller ?
YES

King be tol
he has to make himself as big as his ego
that’s impossible
yes, he expanded himself out of existence
he legit just became darkness
darkness as infinite as his ego
