Ye
well TONS DIED
There’s a whale skeleton in forest
We may have watched
die
Oh no
Yeah the faint spirit actually showed him dying
The spirits you gain emotes from stuffed butterflies and mantas into jars and later sucked em dry of light and life till they became black sludge and melted bones.
Not sleeping 😴
Oh..
There were the spirits who died with the crying spirit
Oh my....
... There's a good chance the ancestors who did that were not the ancestors we relived
I know about the crying spirit...
Used them like batteries
Yes its sad
Point is, the skykids came YEARSSS after the extinction of everything. Lots of life has come to an end 😔
Creatures and people
But why can't our character die then? Bcs we're a different species?
There was probably some minig incident and they all died
Also... that was kind of a sudden dark drop... I know things can be dark but like... 5 to 50000 seems a bit cruel
Well we can die but we can also be reborn
We do die, we just get reborn or whatever
Have a lore question for the elders in this chat... big tables ....what’s that all about? (Elder rooms?)
Probably
Oobs
Vault seems like a good place for elders to meet
The area you go during the cutscene
Ye
But why so few chairs around the table?
Pretty sure there were 6
Elder room is an oob
There are 6
No no no let me clarify
And the king probably does not fit there
He was prolly ded at the time
The twins share one
By “elder room” I don’t mean in game oob of elders. I meant the tables were in a room for the elders to sit in. In vault and in hidden forest
the one on the ground
The twins caan't share a chair... though I guess it's possible they can't sit long enough to need one
The table in sunny forest, hidden forest is for Season of Belonging
I... don't remember the top of that room
I don’t believe it’s connected to the elders
The fam
ok everyone time to take a bet. How long till somone calls me "Please" rather than "Null"?
Okay the. Just the vault room
It was such a wholesome season 
It used to be huge, but they reduced the size recently
Elder chairs?
The one in Vault was probably for the
and friends
And, on the ascent to orbit we see similar thrones/graves, which I believe was the real throne room/meeting room
They too small to fit Lasi
Oof I shall see some picture again of it
The vault ancestors barely even reach the chairs with their tall hats
And that door. The handles are huge.
The size of sKids
My personal theory is that it was for the elders
So they were making projector lanterns long before the king died?
Seems possible
My theory goes that the thrones we see in the temples weren’t there at first, rather they were added later (by whom, i’m unsure)
I think the ones that were there from the start are what we see in the ascent to orbit, which I believe was the throne room or meeting room
the grave/sculpture/throne looking things of the elders that we meditate in front of
Those things?
yes
They do
No
ELDERS WERE HAVING A TALK IN THIS?
I mean... not when it was falling apart
Oh I havent tought about that...
please stop discussing hackers, tgc is doing what they can to stop them
When they find hackers, they do their best to ban them
So... were there 6 thrones in vault?
please stop discussing hackers, tgc is doing what they can to stop them
@woven perch
Can I ask something?
Lasi thought*
about hackers? not really, since thats against the rules
Well kinda half half
bruh... talking about hacks and hackers is against the rules @cedar beacon
I hate autocorrect
Lil late Skycrab
please stop
i get that youre angry but its not something that we can talk about here, just know that tgc is aware of the problem
So .....were there 6 thrones in vault ?
6 shrines but idk about thrones
Imo, I don’t think they were there originally, but that’s just my headcanon
There is a table but idk if they are exactly thrones
Table ? In vault ?
Ye

Where the
spirit is at
Statues, thrones... Im kinda getting lost
The gianormous table in vault 2nd level
oh yeah, I forgot about that
Elder movie night
sanctuary islands were their summer resort
“Can you pass the butter, please?”
“Sure...” (gets up jumps on top of table runs to the butter)
Maybe that’s why they were practicing telekinesis!
To pass the butter without looking silly !
Yes yes! Makes sence now!
I have a cool half theory tid bit...
Lets be honest
You can meditate emote (all of those emotes are mental power related)
And guess what it did?
It put light into the stone.
If the twins pass you butter, you better be ready to catch
you’ll probably be able to find their socials on the TGC site
So maybe they were working on a power to light darkness without use of creatures
Like how we have solar panels as well as gasoline and electricity
The meditate emote puts light into the stone. The same way the butterflies are used to resurrect oreo
do you mean pray emote ?
Uh.... (damn, I wrote “meditate” too many times to edit all of them)...yes?
Maybe this caused the war?
The prayers were putting the manta farmers out of business
What an interesting concept 
It makes more sense when you look at the shield
Tsadi has a star on his shield. The diamonds were used to decay manta... maybe Tsadi was protecting vault because they were creating this new free energy source made by prayers. Like the olden days
What ?
?
There are Skids in them
Was trying to find when I call my friends off screen
There are Skids in them
well, technically the truth-
those just look like normal screenshots...
i am terribly confused
Top corner of first pic!!
looks like king mask
everything looks like the king mask
It's more likely the king/prince's mask was made similar to the light symbol/four pointed star.
Sorry so excited
Trying to be organized I promise
When you call another sKid that’s the icon for them
Yeah, that's a star 
Yes but king/prince drawn years before marker was designed
“We are the king/prince” !!
Bricky I found your proof for your theory!!
The marker could be more of a game design thing, i think.
GAME MECHS OR LORE 
oH nO nOt ThIs aGAIn
Bricky come on! Tell me this isn’t a huge find!?
it’s certainly something
Could be something, if not nothing.
Winged light from the Star child, sKid lightless body icon, and sKid call sign marker all like the king’s/prince’s mask?!
Huuuuuuuuge!
We are the kang!
(Dancing around Bricky)


maybe?
Don’t do it Wren...don’t smash this to pieces... 

Side note: I found this old concept in vault, it’s definitely changed a bit but the basics are still there. Candle holder in the shape of a person with chest Bowl for candle and flat head. In new area in vault archives hallways
Didn’t get screenshot was being sky Uber’d by expertly fast friend.
Notice how the Vault ending thing is up here.
Yeah theory is Eden ‘sploded vault top but the vault we see is part of the dream like sequence so still in tact during the “Disney land it’s a small world” ride through vault
Why are we not flipping out about this king icon on the sKids and child of light?
but in sky it has meaning
Even IF it’s just a game mechanic design choice WHY would the devs make the icon for CoL / sKids the damn villain?!
Because the col messed up and will repeat the week until the mistake is repared, even though the tools to fix the mistake are not available
^ theory
Yes. Theory
we can see vault's top though
Damn good evidence !
🤔🤔
🍾 😎 🥂 Bricky!!
Ok this is long but here we go
Alright so The_Dropman and Oz dicussed the interpretations in the perspective of christianity. I thought I would do an interpretation on polytheism, in particular buddhism (I am more familiar with the mahayana branch than other esoteric branches, though the buddhist schools in tibet is mainly derived from theravada branch, so it might not be entirely accurate). There are no gods in buddhism, but the ultimate goal of bodhisattva (any being on the path to buddhahood) is nirvana (I dont really know if there is word to define this in english, but essentially it is the full detachment of desires, greed and suffering). Why is this important, well I believe we and the ancestors are beings that have attained divyacakṣus, which is essentially a vision void of mental distractions and toxicants, in other words, a pure focus. At our chest lies a "crystal" which is always present in every costume (if anyone finds a counterexample let me know), this could be a reference to divyacakṣus, a pure focus.
When our fire is depleted, this crystal is still present though our mask is gone, just unlit. There are six realms of rebirth in buddhism, devas, asuras, manusya, tiryak, preta, and naraka. This could be correlated to the six realms in sky, devas are heavenly figures though they are not immortal and free from suffering correlates with prairies, asuras are demigods that fight against devas and possess mostly of fury, this characterizes valley as the tendencies of mock fighting of the valley elders signifies the aggression deep within. Manusya are humans, signified by understanding, curiosity and tranquility (this is the first realm where dhamma can be directly pursued), it is symbolic to the vault, our quest for knowledge and its preservation. Tiryak are animals and in some extent plants, dhamma can not be pursued in full because the lack of understanding, this is represented as the barren desserts in isle, void of essence. Pretas are hungry ghosts in many cultures, they are under constant suffering of hunger, this could be resembled by the hidden forest, for the rain drains the life of the living being and the land submerges under the clouds of darkness. Naraka are dwellers in hell in essence, they are in constant suffering but of all sources, there are no way to pursue dhamma directly as there is no way of doing right.
This is ultimately depicted as the golden wasteland. What is eden then if it is not naraka, well it might sound absurd at least, but eden is the dhamma. We, the sky children, are the remaining spirit of the king/prince placed in a vessel. For the king/prince fell into the three fires/roots moha (delusion, confusion), raga(greed, sensual attachment), and dvesha(aversion, hatred), thus detaching from the path to nirvana and entering the cycle of Saṃsāra, but consumed by temptations. We are the remaining spirits of the king/prince, it is only through attaining nirvana that we can free the king of ethereal malevolent and evil. There is a proverb that says this but I dont know how to translate it in english in chan buddhism. In essence, the light that awaits in eden is pure light, nirvana itself, we are reborn through ascension, a pure mind until the day we attain nirvana, for the spirits of the king/prince and elders ascend/return home.
You may interpret the realms differently, I dont even think I am completely right
@compact olive @lethal stump @short owl
I LOVE THAT OMG
rebirth is technically the wrong term here because we recall our previous memories/life, but there is not really a better word in english
Did you forget to bring meditation into perspective?
That was a mouthful
But it was a good mouthful
Well you cant describe buddhism without writing an essay
And can we bring up the diamond on the forehead?
Well, definition-wise "Revamp" would be the correct term for Sky's "rebirth" cycle, i think.
It sounds better
Since in orbit we collect our wing buffs and get stronger everytime.
Ah yes meditation
“You are about to be revamped”
“You are about to be revamped”
@dusky sorrel
Nah nvm it doesn’t fit the game😂

The game is too gorgeous for that lol
The meditation pose we perform in-game is the lotus position, it is said that it keeps the mind awake by attaining a pure focus when sensual attachment/perception fades
Dissipates*
Is this the meditation emote we get in vault or the meditation we perform at each elder shrine
In the vault
It is only for manusya, or humans, maybe the meditation we perform at the shrines were for higher entities
I have no idea though
That sounds about right tbh
But who knows🤷♀️
Alright, so the forehead diamond, I originally thought that the diamond was the divyacakṣus, but some mask do not have those diamonds such as animal masks and the without mask item
this lore chat is big brain
Bindi
I always thought it was the bindi
The physical representation of the third eye
Could chakras possibly be relevant? Heart chakra and third eye chakra?
I forgot to mention the third stage of enlightenment in buddhism is called non-returner, maybe it was here the king/prince converged into darkness
The wing king mask images on the cape which represent how many wing wedges you have always reminded me of the chakra. Just off by a few though
I like the chakras theory
if you ever expand on it I’d be very interested
Though the first time we run through without any wing buffs we DO end at 7 wedges (if all wings are collected)
It’s a bit of a stretch
Maybe after I meditate a while
although i must mention, canonically, the prince/king can’t be saved
how does this tie into your analysis ?
I have to go eat right now, I will be back in five minutes to answer this if nothing else happens
alright
Lol slurping food in five minutes
In case y’all are interested in looking these over
Could be we start with root chakra in isle. Simply being
our candle comes from our heart... « Balance, love, and connection »
The 7th elder “isn’t around to be saved” anymore ....but this doesn’t mean it ends there.... maybe the King elder represents something that needed to be erased to bring things together. The king representing a form of greed
Hjonk hjonk throat chakra
lmao
The prince is the form that needed to be restored not the king
That’s why we hug a child of light and not an adult
That would make sense, yeah
Strip away the changes made by a harsh wworld and huge responsibility, and you're left with an innocent child put in a position they cannot be expected to handle
I just had a troubling thought.
Ok, so my interpretation is that our goal is only to end his eternal suffering, to bring him and the elders to light, for nirvana can only be attained by oneself. I am not sure if this counts as saving him
No. If they could handle it, they would never have broken the way they did
Right now, they are plagued by darkness, temptation, and ill-will
In pre-live the emote spirit statues used to have pieces of darkness attached to them
I don't think they started that way. Trying to lead people is a huuuge job, and if you don't have a really strong support system, it's really going to cut deep when you have to make really hard choices
Yep
What if this was mega birds plan all along. To send a figure head (king) to lead the ancestors, who lost their way, From the original cycle of just using flame and not using creatures light, so that the king could lead them to the mass extinction at Eden....then waited for creatures to repopulate the rest of sky and then sent a skid to fix the holy land and collect the ancestors ?
A pickle with a sour taste left either way
A Noah’s ark situation?
When someone is not going to eat, and it's your job to pick who, how can that not take a piece of your soul?
Both?
Because there is no one single unifying deity in buddhism nor are there souls in the buddhist interpretations.
Oh I just meant Noah’s ark like mass extinction and repopulation
What do you call the thing that makes you able to reach nirvana ?
You could argue that the megabird is nirvana hence the true light/deity, but i like bricky theory on the megabird
The difference between a dog who cannot attain nirvana ?
my theory ? that megabird is like old testament god ?
or- christian god in general, frankly
No, the megabird is the collection of buddhas or bodhisattvas
We are apart of the megabird

that’s not my theory lol
... I feel like the megabird Brick and I believe in is a little too messed up to fit your theory
Oops, the. I remembered wrong
i believe megabird to be a sentient god of the sky world
I haven’t seen brick’s theory. Do you have a link perhaps?
it created the ancestors, elders, and skids
Ah nvr mind
Alef = oneness with god kof = forgiven Resh = wicked
... I have never seen the name kof before
@compact olive i dont think i am that far down the path to know what it is, for i havent realized dhamma yet myself
Is it just me, or does your flame that you offer the elders get smaller as you go through?
Well shoot guess I gotta go through the whole game
Can you also check the number of candles, the long ones are at each shrine
The one you offer Samekh is pretty big compared to the one you offer Lamed
yeah the candle count always seemed suspicious
Isle: 1
Prairie: 3
Forest: 3
Valley: 3
Wasteland: 3
Vault: 6
Like the white candles?
Why are some candles white and other black ?
I always thought they are white, where are they black?
White candles trigger some sort of action. Meditation or the tree growth in vault
Yeah I don’t recall there being black candles?
I think the crystal tree candles are not the same ones as the offering candles
There’s only red and white candles
Might be lighting
Oh right, friendship candles too. I guess that’s also an action
oh, and AC are yellow
Ok, so i think eden is the seventh offering, by looking at the Vajrayana interpretation which is practiced in tibet, seven water bowls should be offered to the buddha/buddhas and each one correspond to an aspect of prayer
I havent full grasped the importance of this in eden, any ideas?
OH!
i know:
the point of eden is to get to the end and give away as many winged lights as possible to the small statue sky children
gimme a sec
@pastel brook how do i mark spoilers?
no need to
Black candles anyone ?
there aren’t any
each one will give you wax for ascended candles
Don’t the candles appear white before you light them?
only white, red, and yellow
What color are these ?
Pretty sure those candles are white before you light them
they’re always white
Might just be a game lighting thing
i think that's just a visual glitch thing
That’s looks white ?
im going to vault soon, so i’ll get a pic when i can
what do you think ?
It’s a cape?
It is our purpose...
But like usually the respawn plates with the same symbol/sigils as constellations belong in the same place, like realm
This is the citadel spawn plate
I guess it is just a spawn plate, when we are reborn, we end up here
spawn plate ?
Yes, you actually spawn there if you OOB in citadel
Or rather attempt to OOB
Tested this else where too
sad truth: I spend more time in this channel than I actually play the game
@compact olive they’re white. It’s just lighting, in your image, that makes them look black
That’s grey at best. It doesn’t match the color of any other kind of white. Not candles not capes. Not painted stone. I must be color blind if that’s white
Lol
all of the elder candles look like that though
It’s white but the background lighting is what makes it gray 👌🏼
Yeah I’d call the “greyness” just a trick of the gaming light
when u find the traveling spirit, how did skykid pull out an actual bell? 
it’s from belonging
for every belonging spirit, you pull out a bell to ring which Grandma gave you
when i found the kiki ts my skid pulled out a bell too
Dinner bell calling everyone to the table
Grandma gave you a bell and you would ring it to remind them to meet at the forest table
The “kiki” spirit is from belonging as well
Question for lore ppl, why are all adults dead but only children are alive?
?
in sanctuary there’s, like, a kid
They are a different species and they lived before we did ❤️
And now they’re all passed away
But no current adults are alive
Because we came years after their extinction
Ancestors (the spirits we relive), Elders, and Skids are all different species
They are all dead
is there somewhere where i can read a summary of widely accepted lore theories?
Hello new Lore Moff!

ahh thank you!
is that
Haikyuu profile pic 
yesssss 
🏐
ahhh! got to love haikyuu :))
HAIKYUUU
How did I not catch the Hebrew. I am disappointed in myself
The names of the elders really fit their actions
They aren’t canon
Someone had a theory that the krill are corrupted watchdogs. I noticed flecks of coruption on them in GW similar to the crabs and statues in Eden.
The Hebrew meanings to the old concept names are only relevant to the old idea of the elders
/yall they did not update the vault cutscene, despite changes in home constelation
Did someone say Haikyuu
@hushed steeple /what's haikyuu
ears ?
r they corrupted form of existing species or a form of another kind of species.. hm
/nah krillz dont have ears
those horns or mandibles looking things
I don’t think they’re corrupted, I think they’re just natural creatures
/speaking of species don't you guys think ghost manta looks like a jellyfish fused with a manta?
yeah fair. i mean some deep sea creatures irl are gnarly but nothing “corrupted” them
I don’t think they’re corrupted, I think they’re just natural creatures
@lethal stump /im jusst questioning how they can change their light colors. feels like a manchine
/i mean if we make light, it's yellow regardless
Magic is established in this universe, anything is possible
/ah
Jennifer mixed breeding?
@hushed steeple /ah, why no jelly bones then, we see manta bones
because jellies don’t have bones...they’re jelly
Jellies don't seem to be made of anything but light
we see jellies in Prairie
Perhaps theyre not there due to a certain amount of light thats lacking?
/actually GW only has butterflies and that's it
/krill probably ate everything else
There would only be an amount of light butterflies, and with the size and con(forgot the word) a huge portion of butterflies or light creatures would be needed for atleast one to survive, no less a sizeable one. They’d have to be on the move to maintain their structure as well as finding resources to help maintain it.
Most jellies are in a humid place (underground in forest) or directly above water, or in the water. So maybe they aren't there because the water is corrupted?
@hushed steeple /ah yea, you wont see jellies unless the rain is turned of
And in isle, if i recall, there wouldnt be enough light creatures to sustain a small Jelly, since you’d find the light creatures in small locations, whereas HF, there’s a stream that the jellies would be able to rely on
Though, thinking abt it, it should be the same for Valley, since on the way to the citadel, there’s a stream of light creatures
I think terrain would also have to play a role, since barren sandy areas wouldnt sustain a jelly structure
Yeah, though the vault is kinda odd as a terrain
With the topic before like eden with the crystalized structures, its like an illusion dream. Imo its no different than a pretty and dead realm
/i was thinking ghost mantas are combination of jells and ded manta
@gilded fossil if that theory is true, itd make sense if the two were crossbred in order to survive in that place.
In convservational efforts, it makes sense to crossbreed so a species would survive.
Maybe by chancing with luck they could evolve back to be similar to their original species, like that article about the bird species that went extinct but another species evolved to that species
jellyfish seem physically pretty different, im not sure if they could reproduce with a manta
maybe it works different because theyre both made of light tho
If by light then perhaps
They’re not the same in structure, perhaps witht he engineering efforts by the people, then perhaps it was possible
Compared to the other species like the whale, krill, and krab, i think itd make sense that jellyfish and and ray would be similar, maybe or maybe not genetically
Oh speaking of whale
that seems more likely, but i feel like space mantas are a projection of regular mantas
i remember someone transcribed the runes in vault and they ended up looking somewhat like dna
If we’re going biology-wise, i think whale would be a better fit with ray structurely, but jelly genetically
I havent been on the topic long enough for transcription or cryptology sorry
It still follows the abc phonetic rules?
they are called spirit mantas, so i always assumed they were of the same species as regular mantas
we don’t know what it says
yes but the vault quest reads 'meditate with the spirit mantas'
Maybe in the same family, but not species. I believe in order to evolve to that state, they’d be more classified as a seperate species.
Like dogs and wolves
Ah. Tho itd be more of manta spirits.
/yall question is the hexawwing available as cosmic version?
Like children of light, in reference to remnants of the light. But if it were light children, they’d seem more of a live sentient beings
Idk if wording is that important, but to me it is since it kinda changes the context
?
Ah i misword. Winged light. I kinda saw them more as remnants of the fallen (skykids?skypeople?) [children] of the pure concentrated light
Like in the fnaf ar, remnants. Concentrated forms of light
I think that would make a difference of species,. The concentration of light and the physical structure
If i were to bring other games as examples, like Undertale, magic concentration seems to differ based on species and their physical structure
For example, a more hardy physical reliant species would not have as much magic/light compared to a more vulnerable but magic/light dependant species
Which a jellyfish, a hard contrast compared to a krill or crab, has a structure of a vulnerable “soft” species, but is a big source of light
Along with other characteristics such as color and behavior; this would make the immediate classification as a friendly species. Friendly also in the same context could be prey, as they are also reliant on other of similar behavior to survive
I haven’t read much of the inside of the development and concepts of the game and plot tho so I could he wrong
Mantas would have more similar light concentration, as mantas irl dont have as much physical hardiness
Touching a manta also has similar consistency to a jellyfish if you’re wondering
(I petted some stingrays on the beach during a fishing trip and held some dead jellyfish in a beach trip)
/sad it was ded?
(They were dead for some various reason, I found them washed up)

It was disappointing when i looked it up later, i thought they were alive.
Oh! I might check this later, but for dead jellies, a lot of organisms would feed on it
Perhaps crab
No
They arent. But they do go through a cycle of physical change that makes it seem ageless
/yall
/crab in game ate all the jellz
/krill ate all the mantas
/who will eat the butterfly
If i recall, cell age cycle would be best in order to understand that
In reference to the tiny cave, I think they’d be an isolated bunch
Like the jellyfish cut off from sea, somehow in time I think when finding shelter, the crabs got cut off frome the rest of the other crab populace. Though the topic on their reproduction...is rather concerning
I think jellyfish would consume butterfly, or whale would consume both.
I mean, its likely
I’ll write down what i think since i cant type as fast
Also pardon the quick sketch is crude. Ill fix a better ref later
Oh and my handwriting is a sloppy srry

Looking for references for the whale is something
All i have is a reference pic of its carcass
I might have to use some ref pics from other people’s photography
what
I mean, there’s no fish. Unless there is a premature whale, then its one of the only other sources of light it can consume. Mantas dont really have teeth
They have plating similar to teeth
Got my hand sucked in by one of them. Weird feeing
i touched a stingray, very nice
Its not a good reference, but I also had experience when visiting Seaworld. (Before i knew what they were up)
I think its better when you can to feel it (mantaray) yourself though. Its kinda hard to find a similar texture on a known animal
Perhaps a smooth skin frog?
Its really different
Like when those boba jellies have that give, but its still hard enough to be muscle
Its easier to find washed up jellies low tide (along with crabs and others) and stingrays when high tide comes nearing in (but thats also during fishing since they’re still further out in sea)
Heya, guys am new to chats here but I would love to ask few questions.

My time perception is slightly warped because during those trips im out around close to afternoon to sundown
Ok
@tawny coral will you mind listening to my question? Perhaps an answer as well😅
Sure thing Kimi
So, I was wondering if I could use the elders name which came from this very channel or group and hoping if I could use one will there be a copyright issues, so wondering if I could ask the owner perhaps for a permission or with a credit system?
No, I mean can I use them?
They’re letters, you don’t have to ask permission
Okay that's cool, thanks for reassuring... ❤
I dont think they’re copyrighted. They’re fanon at this rate
So yes
You can use them
Buff moff uprising 
/how many honks do we have in total?
Honk
7 different calls, 3 pitches
Im sorry ahead of time, my only pic other than the whale skeleton is rather blurry
Oh btw what do you guys think the diet of the cosmic manta rays would have to be? Pure light like jelly?
i think cosmic mantas are Ghosts
They're projections
If u see the picture of the inscription
You'll see vault vault and one of the lesser ppl casting a spell to create them
Here u go
/eeeeeeeeeeeeeeh?
There appears to be a boat if not a path down at the start of eden. Also i noticed when u reach the temple a lot of (krill dust?) shows up
You can go down there
/also, from the image, you think real mantas are hard to recreate so they thought they can just make fake mantas that look like a jellyfish and be like "eh, it'll work, we're gonna die in 2 hours anyways"
And follow it back up to the social space entrance
There appears to be a boat if not a path down at the start of eden. Also i noticed when u reach the temple a lot of (krill dust?) shows up
@tender dune /"krill farts'
Upclose pic of the face statue. Also note that the left side has 2 blade/shield which looks like gw's shield. The right side has a shield only and a missing compartment
/hmmm why shield broken?
I tried taking upclose pictures of the statues we see before entering stormlock
/hmmm why shield broken?
Probs to show conflict between the 2 factions. The shield looks like the one u find in gw
W8 still posting more
This i find to be a real goodie
I looked up the sky/moon each time i get close and if u zoom in you can see what appears to be stars / constellation
found this comment on a sky animatic on youtube ;-;
its an intresting idea, really sad tho :<
Hello could someone tell me about lore on wasteland?
Last picture is before entering stormclock

Ty bricky
Okies thank you
I found that stars pic before stormlock to be most interesting
/yall is that the orbit?
I found a shiny place on a cloud but dunno if its cuz of lighting or something there
I think so jenni
/maybe, it's a star/winged light
No
Its like at the horizon
The image isnt that clear
But it's when u look back after reaching the temple/at krill place
And u look to the left side
Its v far probs unreachable
you can oob there
Entering stormlock i noticed that the wall kinda looks like a ship's wall/edge
I dont have a pic of forgotten ark ship sadly
/can you give different perspective to the ship wall
woah...
No these pics are from yesterday
Is that the one in storm lock
Professional oober
I don’t think it’s a ship, I was checking it out the other day and it ends very suddenly I think
Unless it’s a very squared off ship
/to be fair maybe it's just a poly-wall thing
The statues there have a crack and giving them wl makes the crack shine. Unlike the kids that we see outside stormlock who dont have a crack + when we die we dont have a crack either
Im trying to make the species food chain diagram and tbh, i think a concept model size diff would help if it exists
I just noticed from my screenshot that when ur dying your cape is also wrecked
Because the whales are heccin huge, but could be eaten if they were still much younger and babies
But same goes for most animals
/oh, sky ecology
And im trying to think how this would work on ecology of all animals. I know more on animals than plants rip
Oh, and the diagrams colorcoded to the primary colors incase if anyone’s colorblind.
After ascending I wanna note that the butterflies are HUGE and they also do that sound you hear from orbit (when you fly on a spirit) i have a vid but dunno if it will send here
Idk if itd help much
it will help crypto
/hey if it doeesnt then at least we had fun!
The big statue during ascending reminds me of the small statues we see (they look similar in my opinion)
I think thats all for eden xD
I found a different shield in GW battlefield
The shields we usually see are these
i don’t think WL has always been around, so idk if you should make it the base of the food chain
True, but in home it is stated that “Dark dragons are hungry for your light”
So at the same time, it wouldnt be directly, but they’re still coming after it through skykid
Oh shoot i just realized i shouldve made manta to krill red since gw krill attacks manta
🤦
So i change it to kril<—wl as under certain circumstances?
Oh dunno if its game mechanics but the first time i reached orbit I got many shiny children for ascended candles (the statues i saved). But when i went home and back to orbit i got a cutscene for a single child
U think thats what the devs ment when they use singular and plural for CoL??
Perhaps


Can dark plants be counted as manta eaters?

Unlikely? They look so hardy like the crabs.
Idk what could eat the plants, maybe some creature not mentioned.
Not something eating the plant. The plant eating a light creature
Cuz at the same time these are like known creatures. In ecological diversity, there’d be much more, but these models would be considered well known and saves space because alotta models is hard work
We see 2 manta trapped in darkness in forest but im unsure if they're supposed to die or just trapped
Perhaps the dark plants could consume the wl and creatures of light
True @tender dune
Ill fix it again tomorrow morn
Maybe to add the plants in the mix
Oh we also have the elder manta but rn we only saw it as cosmic
Not sure what that thing's diet is xD
And it has tiny bebehs
teth, question for that vidéo, did you save any statues or none ?
I saved statues and got 15 candles
Then i went home in orbit
And went back to orbit likethat
And it showed me this cutscene
Beginning of video. Vid was long so i can't send the whole thing ;-;
Then it shows that cutscene but with 1 child
My crazy theory says something like maybe that's the one kid we who's body is the one bricky found?? That the other 63 statues are just for game mechanics (for us to get ascended candles)
Dunno who wanted this info but I took a look at all the WL during my run and not all of them look at eden
And Oz wanted to see if the child hugger has a constellation behind him at the friend options but there is no constellation;
[dunno if its related to my graphics or not]
should go to disneyland and save none to see what the cutscene shows?
yes !
bold of you to assume i sleep
the diamond shield ?
Yeah
i don’t believe so
it’s only at battlefield
Maybe its the missing item from the eden gate?
doesnt make sense cuz then it will be
Broken sun Shield / dual swords / sun shield / diamond shield
why would there be two sun shields ?
From the gate
Its there
Left side:
Broken sun shield + dual swords
Right side:
Intact Sun shield+ missing compartment
That's at the first winged light
I posted it up at the beginning of my findings but just in case [ this is the right side]
I tried finding the missing item but there was nothing
Anybody else notice the seven doors in Wastland temple?
ye
Mhm
I wonder what that fallen pillar are for ... Doesn't seem to have any purpose
Is it bridges?
Why build thing if it has no purpose
Must be a wall or something
Hellows, I wanted to ask if there is some lore on why our shadows don’t show our cloaks? Because the other day my friend mentioned this and i also became quite curious.
I was thinking they're arches but now I'm thinking they're viaducts/aqueduct :0
Some guess that its because the cape is made of light and light doesnt have a shadow (our body does because its physical)
The fragments of the building that are visible from afar do not resemble the true dimensions of the structure. There are many constructions buried underneath the sand, and speculating their purpose is a difficult task. However, it has come to my attention that the pieces of pipes scattered around Wasteland recurrently appear in a logical sequence. Thus, I have deduced that it was some form of connection/communication between Vault and Valley to convey messengers and shield them from the inhumane dangers of the desert or a supply of goods from the other realms to the Vault, which could not be self-sufficient as there was no arable land.
exactly
Doubt it because the entrances are down
If the water level was high then they'd have high entrances
they're leaning because of the passage of time
it's a ruined structure, certainly it wasn't like that during the times of peace
you mean the graveyard or the broken temple?
Before u go to broken temple
The entrance
It's not high
And there is no entrance above it
Meaning that the water levels weren't that high
Sry i dont think i have a pic so i can't show it xD
Yeah they could be something like arches
I really want granpa isle bring me to prairie with a boat
Because they're found in a surrounding way and not a straight line
actually, the boat took you to aviary
not prairie
no see
in pre live beta home was just
an ocean with your friend candles
aviary was the real hub world
but iirc it was treated as a part of prairie?
i hab question
Sure ask
i confuse why the prairie elder fell in asleep for such a long time
Its a whale
why forest shaman want the flame
just a whale? like, does it have a backstory on why it's there?
I dont know
i see
Johnny all elders want your flame
@hushed steeple i remember isle elder use his magic stick to give skykids the source of flame
I dont think its last of its kind. There are few other whales
thank you for your answers 
In Wasteland, the one in forest and the Eden one
Or its just one whale who is following us
Oops you just said that
We also don't know if whale is a light or dark creature
@hushed steeple whale should be a light creature, for it once helped the ancient fight against the darkness and krill in graveyard
okay
we can see huge skeletons in graveyard,right?
Yes, but they arent probably whale skeletons
those skeletons was the whales
nope, chinese official server editor said in her text: these skeletons are whales
Woah really?!
Hello and i am now confused
in dark stone era, whales helped the ancient fight against the krill
are you able to send the text and translate? o:
Yes please
okay, wait
This skull tho ... Doesn't look like whale
It was never a whale 
The skull is still there right?
Yeah it's in graveyard.
The whale skull is smaller than that one
Some theorize it's a mega turtle 
Yeah graveyard is an anxiety injection for me.. never going there agaib
Yall anyone could send me the whole skeleton of the graveyard creature? Or just screenshot
No I get panic... Then krill be screaming without warning...
Let just say I almost threw my phone out of my window
Yeah I know, just something of it
I have this one screenshot tho... Like one
Where is the skull again? I mean which section of graveyard
Oh translation to English?
Green supposed to be represent peace ... Oh well
s o p e a c f u l
p e e s ?
Because it green
P E E S
CEASE

translation: some people asked, the huge skeletons in Graveyard are belonged to krills? i guess not, for 1) krills are invertebrate, 2)krills’ size are much smaller than these skeletons.
i guess they belong to a type of huge light creature, they had fought with ancients, but unfortunately, they died in the battle and left their bones here forever with krills
That... Doesnt answer If they are whales bones
Must be one of these
No? Ok
No fair! Why krill can no clip through the wall being solid and not me
Wait no
Then how big are they actually.
Do you mean kril is actually bigger
Oh god krill Chibi mask
Teth's diagrams about the whale bones in forest show how wonky Sky is
haha chibi mask 😂
tgc needs to add that
The creature bones are flipped upside down, but they're not
- Confused confusing confusion *
Then the thing that died there has an upside down rib?
The whale bones in forest yes.
I wonder why tho
why a whale died in the forest boneyard?
Hmm maybe because the whale need to support their huge weight...
Real life whale can die with just their own weight if out of water
SOMEONE MOVED WITH THE BONES
Maybe no because huge thing hard to die by small thing...
Must be something huge that can take down that whale
Maybe krill can take this baby whale down... Maybe
Behind the whale are bunch of trees snapped in half. Also the whale crashed into a house/storage
@hushed steeple the trees may be cut by the lumberjacks?
yeah
laugh in whale destroying a huge building
Sky is a puzzle game 😂
I thank tgc to not add actually tree leave because that will make my phone melt on its own
well, in forest, how the light mushrooms grow?
in concept art, it said the light creature trapped in the tree,the power will become mushrooms at last
that sounds not good
why it be trapped? is tree in forest darkness?
bro no it didnt twist its neck lmao
the creatures in graveyard have turtle skulls
so they're creatures we havent seen
the one in forest is a baby whale 
that image goober sent is me trying to figure out the bones, tgc isnt that accurate with the bones alignment so i think just for aesthetics they placed it like that 😂 
blue made the name whurtles for them since they look like a combination of whales and turtles
Hello folks! Any idea on why there is a dead bird at the entrance of the citadel in valley? It's a huge bird! .. no krills here so I always wonder what happened to it
Its from a previous season i think 
that bird was from an old quest in pre-global
you'd meditate in front of it i think
somewhere along the line it'd become alive when you finish the quest
Is there anyone who has sorta theory for the whale?
i can't remember any theory for tuna king atm but we do know there is its skull in the forest boneyard
Ah i see :0
live whales appear in 3 places: the clouds between valley and wasteland; the orbit & the secret belonging cave in forest

i haven’t seen any mural about whales
these huge creatures seem like living in a mysterious way
Are they the light creature elders? idk
they are probably light creatures since they go up to orbit with us
I think they are neutral
the damage they cause when gone near it in ascent to orbit may be from surface damage
how do they die
but who knows
simply by crashing
For me it was too huge to die
every lives die,but some completely reborn in the Megabird, others not
Don't you guys think that whale can easily destroy eden?... Like damn
Don't you guys think that whale can easily destroy eden?... Like damn
@mild lark the strong wind and krills make it very difficult
But it crash destroy a building
And because of it size... It must be heavy. So storm can't effect it too much
sky society if whale could destroy eden
why it didn’t try to destroy eden if it could easily do that?
maybe it knew that eden shouldn’t be destroyed, there are many beautiful souls waiting for light to save them, and back to the orbit
that's the thing
we don't know if the whale has enough power to bonk through eden
or what would happen if eden was totally destroyed
The life and death cycle ends...
No eden.. no scary rock to kill us
And krill probably won't be guarding eden ANYMORE...
They will go for a sightseeing in daylight prairie
Jk

I think if Eden was destroyed we’d stop getting ascended candles
Since we’re specifically told that we get them as a ‘reward for shepherding light through the storm’
Which is interesting wording in itself
/sounds like god made the world and it suck but he likes looking at it
god?
All came from light. Eden was like the center of light or something. The other elders took the light from eden to create their realms and stuff. Eden elder tried to make more light but uh darkness and they had to send the realms into the clouds. The elders thought they were safe but darkness spread and the realms fell. The skykid is living a previous life before the realms died h (Orbit is heaven)
The spirits were just villagers that fled to other realms
hmm this is cool
Do we even have any confirmation that the megabird is in the current version of the game?
Not counting the mural in the water surrounding office
Why not megabird?
@willow shoal /i was talking about a common trope with stories
i misunderstood,
Yeah it’s not confirmed that that’s actually the megabird itself or not
i misunderstood,
@willow shoal /ah no worriesdont bow :"
Idk the megabird just really confuses me since it is in the game but also isn’t
And it just tends to complicate all the elegant answers to lore questions so it’s easier for me to assume that it doesn’t exist 
/where does the big bird boy appear, like in which cutscenes
But king has actual statues which we know for sure are him
And he was confirmed to be in the game
If you're still, will the krill spot you?
Yeah prince is speculation
Sorry this is the wrong channel
Well either way I think we might get some more megabird info within the next few seasons
So that might answer some of those questions hopefully
The big one being: is it a real thing
Well that is entirely possible with the next seasons being hinted at being more lore-focused 
Well not explicitly, but it’s been implied
Iirc the devs said for enchantment that they heard we wanted more lore bits and were working on it
Could be mistaken but I remember something like that
/yall why is there a megabird at the beginning of wasteland??????
Iirc the devs said for enchantment that they heard we wanted more lore bits and were working on it
@delicate coral /we got why crabs attacked us
/we got the cool mural on ship on how rich people made stuff with light
Especially if they’re based in wasteland as I think they will be based on 7 days of sky and Vincent Diamante’s tweets
/neverseen lightseekers! anything lore about it?
/eeeeeeeeeeeeeh?
/okay last time other people theorize about the mural in ark no one mentioned lightseekers
/light orbs feelz like that thing in an abandon tunnel in isle
/aaaaaaah
/i never notice the umbrellas
/also the big hats i thought was to differianciate the poor ppl vss the rich ppl with the long vertical hat
these ancients used umbrellas and wore cone shaped hat
they are lightseekers cosmetics
but i don’t find any connection between enchantment and belonging,from murals

/i think they made light orbs then give it to the enchantmentz
are the light orbs in murals the lightseekers’ light?
/i think so, since they're drawn similarly
/actually, i think the artist reuse the light shape
maybe enchantment ancients produced the lightseekers’ lights into colorful and magic light orbs
So uhhh these people are wearing hats and umbrellas. Lightseekers season introduced those cosmetics. So some people(including me) assumes these are Lightseekers spirits
@hushed steeple /looking at the first pic someone was praying at the big light, and second pic someone was containing the big light
became

/yea
/okay so
/the boat with green/earth light
/why boat with green light is seperated?
/and, is the enchantment people the same people in the murals
green light is different,
needs mantas to appear
excuse me oot but
tsadi like a melody in my head
/lolz
nod spirit didn’t make murals maybe, but she tried to fix the broken ark
/from what i saw from the mural FA had all the orbs, then the next pic looks like one is missing, and a new boat appeared with the missing one (earth orb)
/is she restoring the murals or making the murals
/does the lightseeker people exist before or at the same time as the enchantment people
/i need answers 
guys any one know sky story
can anyone explain to me from zero
/ah
from isle of down
/lore moff intro
Hello new Lore Moff!

/ey thanks oz

Since they're stranded, she might've been thinking of recording their lives so someone will remember them when they died
@hushed steeple /so you think she drew the murals?
/if that's the case, the way she drawn themselves is quite interesting
/the people on ship are drawn to look like vault people, despite them looking more "villagers"
Hey! Can I ask something about Sky light awaits?
Did you guys see the discovery that we are the king/prince ?
🙏 thank you
i’ll try to check thsi
and the pins i checked tho already but i didn’t found anything
Hey! Can I ask something about Sky light awaits?
@hushed steeple /sure thing Lilla
Lila Inna you can ask but I’m not sure how much relevance it will have in this chat as it’s not considered canon (to most in here)
and the pins i checked tho already but i didn’t found anything
@full birch how exactly can I help you, friend?
/yea all of the stuff in there is old and not cannon so keep that in mind
Okay so, when in the beginning you leave from first "Isle" elder with the flying boat and fly up to coulds and the tunnel you can see this big snake/ big whale/ dragonlike creature flying in the end of that tunnel. Any idea what is it and can it be seen in somewhere else?
We should maybe create short description of what is confirmed canon (instead of relying on people to dig through the doc) maybe?
Its so cool 




dont bow :"
