oh oh

#

Also, in wasteland, is the entire sea contaminated? Or is it just a really big lake or an inland see?

broken basin
#

It is

#

Contaminated

mellow sable
#

aaaaactually, the cosmetics are solid light

#

they're not wax

broken basin
#

Yeaahhhh

mellow sable
#

they go away when our light is snuffed out

#

cape remains because it's permanently part light, because it's made from WL

#

everything else disappears though

broken basin
#

But when we die , the cape dissappears , Cause, then there's not even a single particle of light left in us

mellow sable
#

exactly

#

we have lost all our wings

#

which makes me wonder

broken basin
#

We're pure darkness at that time, we become blue and blue in sky is darkeness

mellow sable
#

is the cape the brain of the skykid pThink

broken basin
#

Do they even have one

mellow sable
#

without it we die

broken basin
#

They seem pretty dumb

#

But they can copy things very well

mellow sable
#

they need someone to show them how to nod

red grove
#

Contaminated
@broken basin
But that would mean everysea around the world is contaminated, unless the sea is somehow isolated from the other one

mellow sable
#

and how to cry

broken basin
#

But they have imagination of their own too,

#

They make up the lvl 2 and 4 emotes themselves

mellow sable
#

which makes me think that skykids don't have emotions

broken basin
#

They don't

mellow sable
#

they simply copy things they see from spirits

broken basin
#

Definately

polar pivot
#

well to be fair. everyone needs someone to teach them to do anything. but theyre kinda just born from light instead of having parents

red grove
#

They seem pretty dumb
@broken basin I mean they are kids, a few years ago i did some very dumb things too

polar pivot
#

are skykids baby 🤔

lethal stump
#

That’s up to you, Blinky, it’s very vague for us to interpret

broken basin
#

I think whoever made them, didn't put emotions and big brain cause their only work was to unite the elders. The maker feared that if he/she gave them brain they might make their own civilization and develop themselves

red grove
#

Is Eden causing the storm in the very beginning of wasteland too?

lethal stump
#

Up to you

#

100k that's actually really sad, your while purpose is to sacrifice yourself

broken basin
#

SkyLOL you can call me wolf

red grove
#

Oki!

broken basin
#

Well, we were made for a purpose and our only job is to do that

#

What if skykids were pepes

"-whats my purpose?
-die
-oh"

What if skykids were pepes
@broken basin
Feels good man

thats actually kinda sad lmao

in a way that reminded me of kamikazes

Your purpose is to die for the greater good

#

yeah skykids are created only to slurp wl to yeet the Eden skids back into the sky

red grove
#

Ok new theory

#

yeah skykids are created only to slurp wl to yeet the Eden skids back into the sky
@mellow sable
Sky but skykids are sponges

broken basin
#

With the cape I guess

hushed steeple
#

so sponges with capes

broken basin
#

But that's a debatable question

#

I think cape helps us to fly but it too needs some power source to work

#

Amd that source is light

#

When you are out of energy you still have the cape, but u can't fly

#

Cause there's nothing to power the caoe

red grove
#

Why doesn't the sun recharge us pAngry pAngry pAngry

broken basin
#

It's not correct to call it sun

gilded fossil
#

/sun not real

broken basin
#

You can call it our "host star"

red grove
#

/sun not real
@gilded fossilthatd scary

broken basin
#

Sun is our solar system's host star

red grove
#

Why doesn't our host star recharge us pAngry

broken basin
#

We are not sure if they are in the same solar system

#

That's actually a genius questions though.

red grove
#

maybe the fire that recharge us isn't it exactly fire? Like it produces a different light?

hushed steeple
#

but if the light reaches, wouldn't distance not matter?

broken basin
#

Yes

#

I think they need a strong souce of light near them

gilded fossil
#

/well, to be fair only place with a heck lot of sun are only 3

broken basin
#

You don't simply recharge from the fire in forest home when you are in the forest temple

red grove
#

but if the light reaches, wouldn't distance not matter?
@hushed steeple
The host star (I'm gonna call to hostar to minimize) is powerful enough that some of its light beams perfore the big wasteland cloud blockade

#

so I think it's powerful enough to recharge us

broken basin
#

Distance definately matters

red grove
#

But wait wait wait

broken basin
#

Yeah

red grove
#

Why does the CLOUDS recharge us?

broken basin
#

And it would be a bit of cheating if tge sun recharged us all the time

red grove
#

Last time I checked they don't shine unless you live next to Chernobyl

#

And it would be a bit of cheating if tge sun recharged us all the time
@broken basin yes my favorite game
Lore or gameplay mechanic

broken basin
#

Maybe they are light clouds

red grove
#

Ok but why does the wind recharge us?

broken basin
#

Maybe it's light wind

gilded fossil
#

/the wind don't

broken basin
#

Ok yeah I'm confused

gilded fossil
#

/but birds go with the wind

broken basin
#

Only the wind in citadel

red grove
#

If you get close enough to some of the invisible walls in game your light will recharge

broken basin
#

Maybe that's fake wind

#

If you get close enough to some of the invisible walls in game your light will recharge
@red grove
Really?

red grove
#

Maybe that's fake wind
@broken basin
Sky sounds a little more like a Lovecraftian story now

#

@red grove
Really?
@broken basin yep!

broken basin
#

Birds don't go with the wind, they fly in their own path

#

Amd there are different birds in sky

gilded fossil
#

Only the wind in citadel
@broken basin /i thought it was due to the birds jusst flying around everywhere???

broken basin
#

The Actual birds are the ones which we see in Prairie home, in the ark,
The ones flying in groups everywhere are something different

#

@broken basin /i thought it was due to the birds jusst flying around everywhere???
@gilded fossil
Nope the wind recharges us there

red grove
#

"the wind could be fake, be wary.
The elders weren't born. They have always existed and always will.
There could be a super God in the sky that absorbs all of the light but we are not sure "

half ridge
#

Maybe the wind charges us there because of the giant gold things acting like a generator or something

red grove
#

The Actual birds are the ones which we see in Prairie home, in the ark,
The ones flying in groups everywhere are something different
@broken basin ok so birds are fake too

#

I know it

/also along with the big one there's also smaller ones

mellow musk
#

So, the chibi is a fixed height that is the same for everyone,
But how tall are they in cm?

#

Like

#

Are the sky kids giant or tiny?

#

Or human sized?

gilded fossil
#

/well i guess office

#

/if we count office as cannon, and then scale the irl stuff in there with our size

broken basin
#

I belive there was a photo of their size with was made by comparing the sky kids with height to the trophy table in the office and then calculating their Height with the help of the actual Height of the table

mellow musk
#

Ohhhhh

broken basin
#

The spirits are human sized

#

Elders are giants

#

Skykids are 2-3 feet max

broken basin
#

Thanks brick

lethal stump
#

skid heights !

gilded fossil

/:D

broken basin
#

Chibi is 2 feet 3 inches

#

Max is 3 feet 10 inches

#

So yeah that's smol

#

Forest elder is 12 feet

lethal stump
#

hhh elder heights are iffy

broken basin
#

So, if u have fallen for her, consider the height too

#

She is ultra tall

gilded fossil
#

/yall how far can a deep call reach

#

/can we try measuring with tables

broken basin
#

I'll try to calculate that today, usually the diameter of the sphere produced doesn't fit in the screen to measure it fully

#

/i will try later with tables

/why u type like this SkyLOL

/style

#

/oh

#

how about this

gilded fossil
#

/no stealing mah style

broken basin
#

this is okay

mellow sable
#

yeah see

#

skykids don't recharge with light

#

they recharge with heat

#

like a hot air balloon

broken basin
#

Really

#

SO that means sky kids themselves are HOT since they recharge other skykids

hushed steeple
#

so maybe the reason why clouds recharge skids is because the clouds trap heat (somehow)

broken basin
#

Skykids are hot

hushed steeple
#

lmao

#

that sounds wrong

broken basin
#

But then butterflies are hot too, and spirit's are hot too and all other light creatures are hot? Since they all recharge us. WINGED LIGHT IS HOT TOO 👁️👄👁️

alpine geyser
#

Even when u stand on fire you'll recharge. The more heat u get the quickly u recharge

mellow sable
#

body heat

#

:p

half ridge
red grove
#

Making theories about what's light and what's really the thing that recharge us when in reality hugs are the best way of recharging.

#

Perhaps that is what recharge us, being cared about. Even the animals seem to want us to succeed, with mantas taking you up and butterflies helping you as you honk to them. Everything in sky seems to care about you, I think that's beautiful

half ridge
#

The light that recharges us is actually the warmth of care and kindness of others.pWow that's a nice thought.

gilded fossil
#

/love is power guys

#

/we recharge through the power of friendship

boreal nebula
hushed steeple
#

If you think about it, sky kids are basically made out of the same material as stars. It does mention us as children of ancestors who did come from the stars. Maybe we are stardust and heat that emit light

tender dune
#

they look like the spirits from the valley that follow us, except these are heading to eden

hushed steeple
#

Interesting

#

Have you guys ever seen the area in eden right before rhe second stage of orbit with the huge castle?

tender dune
#

where did u hear about skids being the same material as stars?

hushed steeple
#

Not completely, but in the beginning of the game it says our ancestors fell from the stars or something. Dont take my word for it completely though

#

And when we die we do go through a similar black dwarf phase, just without the wierd gravity stuff

#

This is simply assumption though

tender dune
#

its the elders that fell from the stars to that world, the ancestors are the spirits we meet and ascend, theyre different species

#

from what i know is that we're half connected and half indifferent

hushed steeple
#

Wait they're different species?

#

I assumed elders were just more powerful spirits than the ones we meet

boreal nebula
tender dune
#

elders are definitely different from the spirits we meet

#

keep in mind the spirits we meet werent always spirits and used to be alive

delicate coral
#

I think that skykids, spirits, and elders are all in some way connected to the stars/partially made of stars

#

all the canon lore doc technically says on that is that winged light aren't stars, and that skykids, spirits, and elders are different species

#

But I still think there's a very strong case for all three being made of stars in some form

#

The spirits always descend from constellations after we relive their memories

tender dune
#

maybe the kids and elders, but not the spirits ...pThink

delicate coral
#

So do our friends in the 'The Light' constellation

#

I just can't see why spirits descend from the constellations if they aren't related to stars

tender dune
#

it probs means they used to live in that certain elder's world and contributed something there

#

like you wont see a praire spirit doing praire stuff in wasteland or something

delicate coral
#

I'm not suggesting that the spirits with their corporeal bodies are stars, btw, just that their actual souls(?) are connected to stars

#

We also see them flying through orbit with our skykid friends, and obviously they appear at the end of rebirth

tender dune
#

yeah i understand pThink

delicate coral
#

also yeah I get that they are parts of the constellations, but I'm interested in why they appear as stars in the constellations

tender dune
#

i was gonna say maybe the elder's used a few to represent that community (a head/boss) but then there were some spirits who's stories were very minimal or unrelated..

#

like the fainting guy SkyFaint

#

or the whale/manta calls

delicate coral
#

hm I could see that being the case still

#

What does that mean for all the other non-constellation spirits though?

#

Are they just outside of the constellation?

tender dune
#

hm?

#

not sure tbh

#

these spirits we meet tell a story of their memory, whether they contributed to the sky world or just show a past memory..

#

there are probably more spirits that actually have more info

#

but we dont have them;

delicate coral
#

realistically it's probably just a game mech ig

tender dune
#

ye

delicate coral
#

I still am very confused about the whole way that stars are depicted though stickerGloomy

tender dune
#

xD

#

the stars as in winged light or the elders?

delicate coral
#

stars in the game in general

tender dune
#

oh yeah

#

same

delicate coral
#

the whole concept of what is a star and what isn't is very inconsistent I think

tender dune
#

yeah

delicate coral
#

at least with our current understanding of it anyway

wispy canopy
#

Yea that's true, mentions of the elders and sky kids being fallen stars and spirits being included in constellations and as drop an said the idea of what a star is isn't actually specific but I guess maybe it's those particular fallen stars, maybe we become something when we become the fallen stars, and stars are just stars, just when they fall, they become either elders or sky kids and currently it's just sky kids that are technically fallen stars

hushed steeple
#

What is the topic

sly kestrel
#

Read

cold steppe
#

all lore all the time

hushed steeple
#

I’m gonna post a whole theory in a min so-

#

So the gw was once a desert oasis area as far as i have have looked. So my theory is that the king put in machinery or something like that (hence the wrecked pipes all over the gw) and the elder of gw didn’t like that and began to destroy it. The King found out and as punishment, corrupted the krill and used them to attack the gw. Afterwards, he abandoned the krill there. The reason the krill might be so hostile to skykids is that they remind them of the king that forced them to destroy the gw and attack the skykids. But that’s just my theory.

thats a cool idea

went oob-ing with friends and we saw the vault tree.. but not in the way its supposed to be SkyLOL

modest sequoia
#

Where be that tree pEyes

spring blaze
#

fierce siren
#

(appoliges for spelling) Something that I alawas thougt about was that the sky kids started out as servents, or helpers to the spirets. If you look at the latters you can see that the main one in Valt is spiret sized, and deffently not made for someone sky-kid sized, but in the cave in Praire there is a latter deffently made for someone sky kid sized. I donno if they were exactly servents, but i think the latter size is deffently interisting.

hushed steeple
#

is there any lore about how we can always see ||Eden|| in the distance?

sinful anvil
#

going by mind control theory, why do spirits wave to whatever is up as if they are happy to return there?

short owl
#

A good show keeps us in line. Our partially dark bodies may make us hard to control directly, but we are not immune to propoganda

#

Plus... The world they are leaving was kind of inhospitable at that point

sinful anvil
#

im not sure if they’re acting

#

but ya anywhere is sorta better than here

#

makes me wonder whether these spirits are literal ghosts but memories happy to get out of here

short owl
#

On top of that, regardless of if they are happy about where they wound up, we did just jump through a lot of hoops to help them. They'd be happy to see us even if it was on the highway to hell.

They size of furniture and architecture actually confused me sometime

#

Heyy

#

Mythos

short owl
#

If the elders were regular society members, it would make sense that giant sized stuff would accumulate over time as the elders needed to access things in a secure way and had stuff custom built to support them

#

Smaller sized stuff would likely be used instead by ancestors, who made up a larger portion of the population and still needed to access things on their own

#

why the lore says The skulls and rib cages in the Graveyard are different from the light dragon/tuna king/whale skeleton (there’s a whale skeleton in forest clearing that gives the Whale Call)

#

the creature in graveyard is called light dragon/tuna king, isn’t it?

lethal stump
#

no, it’s not anything we see alive in game

#

it’s something else entirely

#

fanon name is Whurtles

#

(whale + turtle)

so we call whale “light dragon “/“tuna king”?

yes, it's not even a whale but sounds like one.

The whale was based off a Coelacanth iirc

gilded fossil

/i feel bad for everyone in the kingdom

... it also means anything that wasn't flamable was likely gathered in one place that was kept as livable as possible. If your chair can't be burned, i can at least be near the heat source, of which there is only one per kingdom, in hopes of making the flame last

one question, in the earliest version of sky, when we sky kids are born at the beginning ,we dont have cape and we are completely dark.how can we explain this then ?SkyFaint

#

btw it should be considerated that in the end ,elders have been polluted
(i remember ?)

lethal stump
#

Old beta technically isn’t canon

deep zephyr
#

but its true we are dark when lose all wings

kind bobcat
#

Well when we lose all our wings we become lightless but not 100% dark

#

Creatures that are fully dark are the krills, crabs and plants.

#

Keep in mind that skykids/descendants were also called Hybrids pEyes

#

And i think the elders werent polluted but similar to us, lightless.

/maybe elders are dark

In the tomcepts charts they are pretty dark though pEyes

also i dont get why elders are like diamonds. watching the forest cutscene i found teth’s eyes are diamond shaped

why do some spirits have capes while others are not ? does it have something to do with their status? and wtb masks?
wonderiiiiing

lethal stump
#

we don’t have a canon answer, if that’s what you’re after

modest sequoia
#

What your thoughts, Bethel pThink

hushed steeple
#

Spirit Capes are just a game mechanic i think

deep zephyr
#

idk lol, i just hope its not random

#

it is said the cape is a kind of symbol of lighy power (not sure ) then finding out the reason why some spirits have more light then others sounds interesting

modest sequoia
#

Just realized, most of the cape spirits are stances/poses/calls pThink

#

Except for Forest SkyShrug

#

They also seem to be designated to more of the key spirits of the level pThink

wispy canopy
#

I made a theory some time ago that there used to be a serious hierarchy and class division in sky, that's why some have capes and some don't, it either referred to the importance of their division or work or if they're high or working class people,.

#

If u look at valley there r 2 competition trails one requires capes and the other without, that in itself should explain how the Cape and the Cape less competed together seeing that they have the same ending

lethal stump
#

but ancestors couldn’t use the capes to fly like we do

kind bobcat
#

Well they did have a class division and a heirarchy.

#

Atleast the tomcepts suggest that pPopcorn

modest sequoia
#

A little combo of lore/mechanic I think pThink
It seems like the caped spirits may be the core spirits of each level, as in the first designed.

#

The ones that best tell the story of the level

#

Prarie butterfly, Forest resources/hunting, Valley pride/competition, Waste danger....

mellow sable
#

spirits wearing capes is essentially humans wearing capes

#

they're for decoration

lethal stump
#

and warmth

mellow sable
#

which, in turn, is why the cape spirits are more "important"

#

the higher class want something to make them distinct from the lower class

#

in this case, capes!

#

which is why, for example, twirl from lightseekers doesn't have a cape but shush does

#

actually, every vault seasonal spirit except Kung Fu has a cape

#

and every belonging spirit has a cape

#

so that goes to show how important that family is

#

this also ties into my enchantment theory

#

shrug, play fight, doze and crab are all higher class merchants

#

boo and nod are servants

lethal stump
#

eh
we see a porter in forest who has a cape
for context, a porter is:

a person hired to carry burdens or baggage, as at a railroad station or a hotel.
a person who does cleaning and maintenance work in a building, factory, store, etc.
according to dictionary.com
doesn’t sound high class to me

mellow sable
#

hmmm

#

you're right

sly kestrel
#

If we talkin about high class, that’s the scholars at vault
And not all of them have capes

lethal stump
#

additionally, a hunter doesn’t sound very high class either

sly kestrel
#

In my view
The devs jus put capes on whatever spirit they wanted to, and they chose the caped spirits we have now
I don’t see much reasoning on the capes being from “high class people”

lethal stump
#

my lil headcanon is that capes were part of ancestor culture before the elders came, but as the kingdom distanced from its old culture and the elders enforced advancement and tech, few people kept to the roots of what came before
but that’s just my headcanon cause it sounds cool imo lol

#

kind of a reference to imperialism but we won’t get into that today

so he decided to turn to darkness,

Then, he must've have got too corrupted then the Light fell into the cliuds

That's why the lines "had listened" was there?

during the cutscene for the end of eden, there are planets.. i wonder if there’s other sky kids and whole other cities and cultures of them 😳 and what would our planet be called? cause that must mean we’re on some kind of planet

if the stars fell, maybe they fell on different planets, and the reason why we use those warps is to@get to other planets, but that doesn’t exactly line uo@cause you can go from one to another in the same world but just disconnects by a white screen..

Right so since this is not really for general discussion

Sanctuary mantas

We all know that when not moon(or well day)lighting as kidnappers, mantas are getring krilled and turned into capes daily
That has steadily decresead the manta population and left us with smaller mantas and a limited number of larger mantas who have evolved to coexist with skykids to keep their population from extinction
The whole polution and war history has also had an effect on the loss of ancient mantas who were bigger and differently evolved from current mantas
Those are the matas that the Sanctuary spirit brings back to life
They are ghosts of past ancient mantas brought to life and placed in a safe hidden isles where they can safely keep their population growing without the threat rest of the realms have for their existence
Sanctuary is a paradise resort for skykids, but a sanctuary for ancient mantas who have nowhere else to live

/although

#

/according to official game people

#

/no mantas were harm in the making of manta cape. think of it as fake leather

tender dune
orchid crypt
#

Idk why but I think the Elders might haver made a mistake or some soirt
the japanese for that line was phrased in a similar sort of way to how you'd say "those who committed [a sin]" in english, except it wasn't "sin" used there, but "a mistake/wrong choice" specifically

#

just that "committed a mistake" sounded a bit weird to me to word it like that

#

but yeah, it very specifically mentions that the stars who made the mistake were ousted from the sky, and from what details we have, that'd seemingly correspond to the elders (the line appears in the intro as we see the 6 stars falling to the clouds)

/no mantas were harm in the making of manta cape. think of it as fake leather

If no

#

maybe gravity doesn’t matter to sky kids

they aren’t human after all

What holding the air in space like dimensions?...
Because air in earth was hold on by gravity by general

sky kids don’t have mouths or noses

mild lark
#

Gravity is not a problem

pseudo lagoon
#

they don’t really need air i think

#

i mean we can go to the ||ISS in the office|| with no difficulty

#

so it would be the same with orbit

mild lark
#

So how do they flap their wings?

pseudo lagoon
#

🤷‍♀️

mild lark
#

magic

pseudo lagoon
#

it’s powered by light so

#

basically

mild lark
#

At the ground yes. That make sense because they fall their wing

#

They flap their wing using wing power.. but still uses air as a medium to fly through

#

Hmm imma overclock my brain

i don’t really think that stuff is put into consideration lmao

#

they just

#

pseudo lagoon

i get that

#

I don't really a fan of making theory about the origin of the king .. or the spirit. I suck at that.

gilded fossil
#

/i mean if we're talking about space the skids has the ability to sit in mid-air

mild lark
#

I mean we see alot of floating thing in sky already that we skykid floating just normal

#

Alot of thing that defies gravity

#

But energy can't be created or destroyed.. it just changes
So let's say the wing power changes to force to create kinetic energy. And we use air to fly.
And because of how small we are.
I say that we don't need much energy to fly.
But how are able to fly through space? Like in orbit? Where there is complete vacuum.
So for me I think there is two possibilities.
First is because game mechanics so that just debunk my next possiblity.
Second is because megabird is the one that guide us. Like we only fly within megabird's trail. Like there is no way we can fly through space.

So yeah my theory is that megabird is the one that give us the ability to fly in space..
But regarding ||iss in office||
I do think that just an Easter egg

~~onigiri is something, bc during the cutscene when they got on one knee & beckon the light they switched the paddle. then when kakashi beckoned they did go in front but put the paddle behind their back, which is a dumb move bc it would slow down their reflexes, no wonder they cant catch the light. they just see it’s a child and took it for granted that mercy is the default here, when kakashi went “only the strong survives”

What are u talking about?

sinful anvil
#

is the big version of king a mech suit or an actual person?

lethal stump
#

dépends on your headcanons, Pale

#

imo i think it’s a mech
but that doesn’t mean it is

hushed steeple
#

What if the king is just all the elders stacked on top of each other with the prince at the top, this is really messed up

#

And all the elder cutscene are just memories

sly kestrel
#

.....

#

That’s new

hushed steeple
#

Yay

kind bobcat
#

The chances are low

#

But never zero.

lethal stump

like voltron

kind bobcat

now imagine that but with elders

#

Oh my god

#

Not only does Brick think it's a mech, I'm convincing them it's a mech initially designed for one purpose: krill belly rubs

sinful anvil
#

oh dear

#

the fact that dark plants are easy to fall over leads me to conclude: they’re slippery & made of oil

#

mb darkness is slippery

hushed steeple
#

They are made of oil because thin film interference with light(us)

#

Well not made of oil

#

Have oil composition

Who is the king exactly?

kind bobcat

The king is the eden elder.

Ah

I remember something about statues in valley but that’s all I remember

lethal stump

Very tall

#

I thought it was valley so I thought he was supposed to look like those trumpet head guys at the end of the race lol

#

Aah. Thanks for this concept art pictures about the Elders, I finally understand what you mean about the King statues still left in the game.. and this explains why most of you think that symbol is a sort of King's propaganda.

#

But that makes me think even more that symbol could be a emblem of the civilization, rather than the King's proganda.

The King's crown could be shaped to resemble his Kingdom emblem. Kind of like the Westeros king crown (of House Barrateon) is a peculiar to rememble a dear/stag.

#

After all the long pointy top of the crown could be a sign of him highest representative of his Peoples

orchid field
#

I think the diamond head shape represents the dark stone.

lethal stump
#

we see a similar symbol representing the stars
an 8 pointed star, with a circle in the middle
i think it’s meant to represent the elders

boreal nebula
#

Where is this 8 pointed star? pThink

lethal stump
#

in the opening
the halo around the skid, and the stars

kind bobcat
#

Opening cutscene.

lethal stump
#

thank u goob

kind bobcat
#

And it's on the prairie docks

lethal stump
#

do you have the version with the king mask overlay

kind bobcat
#

It's in there somewhere pEyes

lethal stump
#

just look at the mask compared to the symbols goob posted, it’s highly similar

kind bobcat
#

i lost it so i made a new one

lethal stump
#

so yeah
i think it represents the stars
meaning the king was certainly an important star/elder if his mask is legit their symbol

bitter ridge
#

I kinda wanna get into the lore of the game since it seems so interesting, is there any way I can start?

lethal stump
bitter ridge
#

oooh ok, thanks stickerPeace

lethal stump
sinful anvil
#

i think the king/prince is leader of elders tbh

lethal stump
#

i agrée

sinful anvil
#

his mask is a star,,, morningstar

astral valley
#

I see what you did there 😏

lethal stump
#

Morningstar is another term for Lucifer...
lucifer theory lives on

boreal nebula
#

👀 ✝️
SkyLOL

#

He was the first of his kind. Check.
He fell into darkness. Check.
His greatest trick is making everybody think he doesn't exist... Check.

#

SkyLOL striking similarities

lethal stump
#

exactly
i think the reason the elders fell are similar to the story of lucifer

#

Jesus is also called something to that effect

sqwarlockDed 😅

sinful anvil
#

the question is say you lost wl and your inner charged light, would a krill still turn red on you? the answer is yes

sly kestrel
#

Yeah even if u lose all light, they still try to krill you

sinful anvil
#

so i dont get how krills feed on light and the fact that they knock out wls but dont retrieve those wls

sly kestrel
#

Alllll the way until ur dead

kind bobcat
#

Can confirm, got krilled twice in a row while lightless pEyes

sly kestrel
#

Well it can go many ways
1, it’s a game mechanic and they are naturally programmed by the devs to Target skykids, light or not
2, they simply want to kill you instead of needing to feed on light

sinful anvil
#

probs military weappn

#

“they’re hungry for light” then why did they take that wl?

is it bc wls are imprints of the prince?

sly kestrel
#

No confirmation on that stickerHeart

sinful anvil
#

they’re hungry for light but didnt take one

sly kestrel
#

Also, when u lose ur last winged light, that’s when you die and have to go to the dark place and get another wing to be reborn
So technically, as long as ur alive, there’s still light in you

#

That too

#

Tell urself whatever makes most sense to you stickerHeart

sinful anvil
#

light is like our (life)blood ig

edgy sequoia
#

So uh, while I was looking at the pictures @blazing terrace sent, I noticed at the Isle (possibly) elder's supposed to be cutscene, ans I saw what seems to be megabird...?

#

Since I saw a beak or some sort

lethal stump
#

could be pEyes

blazing terrace
#

Yeah well at some point the isle elder was this guy

#

Hold on lemme find

edgy sequoia
#

He has the staff so I basically assumed he's Isle elder

blazing terrace
#

And they slowly became more humanoid and it was scrapped

edgy sequoia
#

Ah yes

blazing terrace
#

I guess that specific piece of concept art was during the transition

edgy sequoia
#

Isle vulture

lethal stump
#

oooooo

edgy sequoia
#

I saw it on Tgc's sky instagram

lethal stump
#

yeah, all of the elders were once animals

edgy sequoia
#

they said it was originally supposed to be a vulture

lethal stump
#

i don’t remember what all of them were

edgy sequoia
#

I think Prairie one was a monkey?

lethal stump
#

i know wasteland was a spider
forest was a lynx
vault was a crow

blazing terrace
#

I picked and pocketed the concept art cropped cause I loved them all but

edgy sequoia
#

Is this the supposed Forest one?

lethal stump
#

yea

blazing terrace
#

Oh wait I see a lion

edgy sequoia
#

It looks like Wasteland tho

#

since it has spears/swords on it's back

#

But Bricky said Wateland's Spider

#

Wasteland*

blazing terrace
#

The spider has a motorcycle stuck on its back

sly kestrel
#

They had many different concepts back then

edgy sequoia
#

Wait what

blazing terrace
edgy sequoia
#

wait wait

sly kestrel
#

But I’m pretty sure that lion was also a concept of the wasteland elder
But I’m not exactly sure

edgy sequoia
#

Can yoou send the lion and the spider again

#

I notice something

blazing terrace
#

I’m loving the hands for legs concept thou

edgy sequoia
#

Yes

blazing terrace
edgy sequoia
#

Looks more of a crab ngl

#

ok so

#

"Tsadi" the lion's concept art has a symbol on the lower right

#

Notice the same symbol on the Spider's (?) head

lethal stump
#

that name is for a different drawing

edgy sequoia
#

oh

lethal stump
#

look at the colour shift of the background

blazing terrace
#

I also see a jellyfish with the elders symbol
These are concept so

edgy sequoia
#

These animal elders look cursed

lethal stump
#

i love them

blazing terrace
#

Unfortunately I didn’t bother taking all of the concept art, just the ones I thought were super cool, so there could be more concepts

sly kestrel
#

Back then, the elders used to have names
These names were based on Hebrew letters and wasteland elder’s old name was tsadi

blazing terrace
#

I saw samekh on one

edgy sequoia
#

Wateland looks more of a crab ngl

blazing terrace
edgy sequoia
#

Jellyfish elder animal looks like a crab, but with longer legs

#

Nevermind it’s lamed
@blazing terrace Which realm was this suppose to be?

blazing terrace
#

Looks like vault tbh, it’s also in the vault section of my screenshots folder

lethal stump
#

The letters in brackets are Hebrew letters, which the Elders are named after:
Isle: Daleth (ד)
Prairie: Ayin (ע)
Forest: Teth (ט)
Valley: Samekh (ס)
Wasteland: Tsadi (צ)
Vault: Lamed (ל)
Prince/Not Corrupt King: Alef (א)
Corrupt King: Resh (ר)
PLEASE NOTE: These names have appeared in concept art and are often used when referring to the elders. They are no longer canon, they are fanon.

night sleet
#

Hm

edgy sequoia
#

For some odd reason, I mistook Daleth as Resh in the old sketch here

blazing terrace
#

Only so much concept art is for lore thou, quite a bit of it is just to gain a sense of the vibe so I doubt the animal elder concepts line up with the current elders at all

edgy sequoia
#

hmm

blazing terrace
#

But like I have more if anyone wants it

night sleet
#

They’re cool though

#

Uhh yeah can I see some please?

blazing terrace
lethal stump
#

there’s also concept art in the pins, Jayati

blazing terrace
#

Good god I don’t wanna clog up chat

night sleet
#

Oh thanks

blazing terrace
#

If you want every single one I have feel free to dm me, know I only zoomed in on the ones I liked

edgy sequoia
#

Oh wow dark Whale

#

big mouth tho

#

Imagine if this was in the game

#

they'd scoop up up to 20 sky kids in one gob

lethal stump
#

...shrimp
is my favourite part of that concept art

night sleet
#

they'd scoop up up to 20 sky kids in one gob
@edgy sequoia ... whimper

#

I wish oh my I so wish
I have their method of attack headcanoned too
their tongue is a spear

edgy sequoia
#

oh god

night sleet
#

That’s

#

Uhh-

edgy sequoia
#

One of the sketches there looks like the modern-day krill

nova sinew
#

Yeah

night sleet
#

Yeah

edgy sequoia
hushed steeple
#

the plague looks inspired by gulper eels, the upper one that is

blazing terrace
#

I’m sure that’s on purpose cause of the “shrimp” note SkyLOL

hushed steeple
#

Where did you find these concepts?

blazing terrace
#

The 7 days Of sky thing from a month ago

#

Of course it’s really tiny there so I just zoomed in to take a screenshot, meticulously

#

I’m a concept art hoarder

hushed steeple
#

I cant zoom in on mobile device, could you dm me some of them if you dont mind

blazing terrace
#

Of course

edgy sequoia
#

note the words not evil

nova sinew
#

That would be pretty cool in game

blazing terrace
night sleet
#

I-I

lethal stump
#

me during quarantine

night sleet
#

Ahahah

nova sinew
#

Thats me

#

A blob

hushed steeple
#

I have a theory that sky children can not hear, but rather see sound, like synesthesia

#

It explains the krill call and red/blue light as perceptions of their noises

#

But the headphone cosmetic feature just shatters this theory

edgy sequoia
#

yes

#

but what if..?

hushed steeple
#

Bricky, is the headphone cosmetic a easter egg or lore?

#

This is crucial

lethal stump
#

i’d say easter egg

sly kestrel
#

Neither

blazing terrace
#

Well the headphone cosmetic thing is just a neat thing that happens when you play music, it’s not exactly lore tied

hushed steeple
#

Alright, so I can continue with my theory

night sleet
#

Yeaaahhh

nova sinew
#

Go on

lethal stump
#

it’s a forth wall break like the office

edgy sequoia
#

yess

sly kestrel
#

Easter egg is more like a hidden feature
Lore is more like.....something that involves the actual story and history

#

The headphones, I would say it’s more of a fun feature tgc wanted to put

edgy sequoia
#

We need more of thae deaf skykid theory

night sleet
#

Yeah

nova sinew
#

Pretty long theory

hushed steeple
#

So essentially the light creature calls resonates with us more deeply as it is in our audi

orchid field
#

The way seeing sounds also explains why we can see people honking from far away.

hushed steeple
#

Sorry I didnt finish

#

Audible range

rancid onyx
#

we have been bats all along

#

i thought skykids have a hivemind

hushed steeple
#

Hence we can not visualize the wave spectrum of dark creatures, except for krills when they dive

rancid onyx
#

since we can also resonate with sky creatures

hushed steeple
#

We perceive them as colors instead, presumably some wavelength that is longer than red

#

That my random audio theory of the day

nova sinew
#

That was interesting i never thought of that

rancid onyx
#

i really like that theory

#

even if i dont agree with it myself

hushed steeple
#

Which part do you not agree with, I literally came up with this while looking at the concepts sent by windwalker

#

So It is not throughly thought out

#

Bricky, does the no mask mask count as lore?

lethal stump
#

i mean, it’s in game, why wouldn’t it ?

hushed steeple

True
