The spirits are, well, spirits

#

They're dead ancestors

thin dirge
#

I thought the spirits were also stars. What was the point if the spirits being in constellations then?

#

Well, the ancestors once being stars

#

Before they died and all

kind bobcat
#

Well, about that we don't know pEyes

#

I don't think the ancestors were stars.

thin dirge
#

Yeah, the Ancestors were probably stars. Why would they be in a constellation then? Its also stated that Ancestors and Elders may be different, but not entirely different being entirely, making ancestors more of a sub-species of Elders, thus stars.

#

At least that's what I read in the Canon lore doc

kind bobcat
#

If the elders and the ancestors are stars, wouldn't ir mean they're in the same level?

#

Just found something interesting while doing a capeless run, though it may be a bug, I like to think it's lore related...
The only darkness not meltable in forest when capeless is that which gather around the power diamonds on the broken bridge.

kind bobcat
#

Assuming that the megabird created the ancestors, they could be some sort of trial version of the elders, and the elders were just upgraded, more godly versions of them.

@kind bobcat
Were technically stars as well so they may be a small hierarchy or generation design in us that differentiate us, elders, and King, and megan

thin dirge
#

Well it depends on our interpretation of Elders, and Elders are much more mysterious and ambiguous. I like to think the ancestors being the descendants of the Elders, but with time, the Elders' descendants weren't as godly as the Elders

#

I kinda see Elders being the brightest star in a constellation

wispy canopy
#

It could be a play of like Greek hierarchy you know, every gen down, the power and position gets lower?

kind bobcat
#

The constellations could be just a metaphor or a symbolization of the spirits returning to the megabird pEyes

thin dirge
#

Or it could be the position of the stars in the Megabird

#

That would also make sense

wispy canopy
#

The constellations could show the spirits that somewhat have something to leave behind and end up being a representative of the realm

thin dirge
#

Also I agree with infinity's idea that with each gen, the power and position gets lower

wispy canopy
#

Thx butterfly

#

I'll BRB, tell me the outcome pls

kind bobcat
#

I think skykids aren't related to the elders though.

#

They're an entirely different species.

#

Or another subspecies pEyes

tender dune
wispy canopy
#

That's true, we're not the same but we do come from stars as do tgey

thin dirge
#

I have a theory about the Sky kids, but it relates to humans

#

They're NOT stars

lethal stump
#

humans may or may not exist in the sky world

wispy canopy
#

What makes you say thay

delicate coral
#

Hm I’m still very unsure about the whole humans thing

wispy canopy
#

There is concept art of human world but not sure if its official

delicate coral
#

I think I have a solution to that problem btw

lethal stump
#

there were concepts where they existed, however it’s unclear if it’s ever gonna be in game

kind bobcat
#

As far as i know, the concepts arent actually canon, it depends on how much of it made it to the game.

thin dirge
#

True

kind bobcat
#

There's still two years of content we haven't even begun to think about though pEyes

delicate coral
#

The figures in the murals are ancestors when they were alive (i.e. not dead, not spirits, living being with corporeal bodies), and the spirits we see in game are their souls (hence the different names of ancestors vs spirits)

thin dirge
#

I thought the ancestors were stars before they died?

delicate coral
#

The spirits (not ancestors) appear in constellations because those are their souls in the afterlife or whatever

lethal stump
#

Ancestors ≠ stars

kind bobcat
#

The ancestors are the spirits when they were alive

lethal stump
#

Elders = stars

thin dirge
#

Oh

lethal stump
#

Skykids ≈ stars ?

thin dirge
#

Oh welp, so goes my original theories then- (Hey, the "Light Created Darkness" theory still lives at least)

tender dune
#

xD

lethal stump
#

im curious about that theory, do tell pEyes

#

@ me in it, i might have to leave soon

tender dune
thin dirge
#

@lethal stump I heard of a quote somewhere saying "The brighter the light, the darker the shadow", the darkness was a simple after effect due to too much light being used

#

@lethal stump Using light as a power source was just like burning fossil fuels for power, and darkness is like the smoke created from that, thus harming the environment

tender dune
#

one @ is probs enough xD

thin dirge
#

(Yeah, lol)

tender dune
#

was this the theory you mentioned yesterday btw? i can copy message link if it is

thin dirge
#

Yeah.

tender dune
#

so u dont get tired typing it again

#

ok

thin dirge
#

(This was my third time explaining it to someone today, haha)

tender dune
#

(This was my third time explaining it to someone today, haha)
oof xD

#

copy and save the message link for the future

kind bobcat
#

The sky kingdom was once a kingdom in literal heaven until one kid with a height complex wanted to play god pEyes

thin dirge
#

Though the first part of the original theory has the humans idea, which is probably now jossed at this point. The second bit has the "Light Created Darkness" part, which really doesn't rely on the humans bit

dim bluff
#

What is the white diamond thing in eden? Why are we trying to get close to it?

thin dirge
#

Hmm, that's a good question...

delicate coral
#

What is it - probably just a big power diamond

#

Why are we trying to get close to it - we aren’t, necessarily, it’s just that the fallen are scattered along the way leading up to it

thin dirge
#

Though is it still possible to deactivate that diamond?

#

Now that's a question I'm wondering...

dim bluff
#

Is the diamond made of pure light?

tender dune
#

i dont think so

#

its more like the red rocks that hurt you

delicate coral
#

If it’s the same composition as the other diamonds in the game it’s part light creature, part tree

thin dirge
#

I think its something used to harness the light's energy to power civilisation

dim bluff
#

Hmmmm

#

I seee

tender dune
#

the way the rocks chase you to hit you makes me feel like the diamond is alive somehow (yeye i know probs game mechanics pOhReally )

thin dirge
#

Okay, somehow I just got the creeps at that suggestion...

dim bluff
#

The story is so unclear to me I don't even know why we exist in the first place

delicate coral
#

Well if we want to get into theories and not simply observations, imo it kind of is alive

thin dirge
#

HOLD ON

delicate coral
#

My headcanon goes that the king is inside the diamond

tender dune
#

brb

thin dirge
#

WHAT IF THE KING AND THE DIAMOND "MERGED"

#

Oh wait, you got that idea already-

dim bluff
#

The King?

#

Who is the king?

delicate coral
thin dirge
#

The Elder of Eden

dim bluff
#

Oh-

#

Thank you! stickerHeart

thin dirge
#

It was believed he was the leader of the Elders too

mild lark
#

Woah back active

tender dune
#

mhm

delicate coral
#

And yeah I’ve been working on this theory quite a bit, I think there’s a fair amount of backing for it

thin dirge
#

This chat somehow goes alive when I'm around and dropped dead when I left

mild lark
#

What the main topic

tender dune
#

i just kinda pass by whenever tbh

delicate coral
#

There’s the evidence I’ve compiled so far

thin dirge
#

just talking about the King rn.... And how the King might actually be... Gosh, it's actually creeping me out when I think of it-

rare field
#

So I was thinking about the bells and how each of the bells call a different manta, and then on the villages bells, that all three call a certain manta, and then in forest, where there were probably more mantas than the two that we find

So the bells are just to call mantas. Maybe the letters on the bells are just saying what type of manta it will call? I haven't looked at the Sanctuary bells to see how different they are but
¯_(ツ)_/¯ just a thought

delicate coral
#

iirc all the bells in the game have the same symbols

#

Could definitely be wrong about that though

pure coyote
#

There was an old concept art where the eye of the storm was actually the corrupted king

thin dirge
#

Soooo.... What if we ring a bell near a Krill to see if it responds like a Manta and prove if it was just a corrupted Manta?

#

Anyone have the bell instrument?

dim bluff
delicate coral
#

Yeah schloes that’s a big part of where the theory comes from, I figure that they may have just changed the way it was implemented into the game

thin dirge
#

(Probably not gonna work with that kind of bell)

mild lark
#

Krill is structurally different from manta..
Manta is a bird..
And krill is a type of sea life.

tender dune
#

the bells are like the tibetan prayer bells irl, the prayers spin clockwise just like the game

#

even when you manta call a krill it wont respond

thin dirge
#

Wait a sec... If the King is actually the Diamond (he merged with it), what would happen if that Diamond is somehow broken one day

echo horizon
#

what if krill are whale skeletons pEyes

mild lark
tender dune
#

wasnt that old krill?

thin dirge
#

Gosh, that would the game more nightmare fuel than supposed to

mild lark
#

I think old krill is different

#

human teeth so scary.. OH NO I HAVE A HUMAN TEETH!!!

tender dune
#

xD

thin dirge
#

Well, it would make it more creepy though... I think...

mild lark
tender dune
#

would be fun

#

oh i thought that was corrupted manta

mild lark
#

Doesn't say anything tho . No text whatsoever

tender dune
#

yep

mild lark
#

I want to ask your opinion about this ...
Let's have a scenario..
What happen if krill suddenly exist in this world...

tender dune
#

in irl world?

mild lark
#

Yes

tender dune
#

they would have probably preyed on anything, and since they are a threat people would hunt them / some might keep in zoo's-or-museums / some will illegally keep as pets

opaque mango
#

saved freed krill?

tender dune
#

the usual u know

opaque mango
#

so krill are like uh corrupted or something

tender dune
#

and a few selection would say that krills are part of this world and must be reserved

mild lark
#

Yep

tender dune
#

imagine a loose krill in a city

mild lark
#

let's reproduce the number of krill

tender dune
#

how big would they be?

short owl
#

Depends on where they appear. Some places they may hardly be notable.

mild lark
#

21 meters

tender dune
#

is that the true size?

mild lark
#

Idk bricky told that to me

tender dune
#

hmm~ okie

mild lark
#

So it like a fly train

#

Ooo dang ... Combined with my theory that krill is heavy.. oof

tender dune
#

mhm

mild lark

Hard outer shell will penetrate even a skyscraper

#

Hello Everyone SkyWave I am new to all this Lore theory, but am interested in it!

tender dune
#

people would def try to raise them to use them for guarding / attacks

#

hiii

mild lark
#

Hello!

lucid shale
#

Where can i start reading bout the lores?

tender dune
lucid shale
#

Ah thx :D

tender dune
#

np stickerHeart

#

in the pinned messages you will also find a canon document, it has all the things that the devs confirmed

#

not everything in the pins is canon

mild lark
#

I think if krill suddenly invade irl world...
I think there would be a war.
Idk who will win because we don't know krill's weaknesses.

tender dune
#

true but i think humans sadly have strong weapons that can penetrate the shells since we have weapons/bombs that would annihilate cities /penetrate walls

mild lark
#

Mhm

lucid shale
#

May i know whats a canon and fanon ? I encounter them a lot in the documents...

tender dune
#

its usually written whats fanon and canon in the pinned message

lucid shale
#

Krills ig never existed in bright places right? Maybe they can't exist at bright places... Just some moff theory here 😅

tender dune
#

most of the pins are also videos of the spirits/elders

#

yeah its possible, we've never seen them in bright places

mild lark
#

That is a good theory

winter pawn
#

off topic but does anyone know like the children we play as are? i like to think they are candles but i really don't know ?

tender dune
#

all theories are welcome and no one will attack you so dw about just talking/theorizing stickerHeart

lucid shale
wispy canopy
#

Hey giys, what'd I miss

mild lark
#

Uh a discussion about what would happen if krill invaded irl world

lucid shale
#

@winter pawn i like the theory where they are the creatures of light 😁

wispy canopy
#

I think it's possible that they were light creatures once

mild lark
#

I once make a theory with lambdaw
That vault is a computer lol

#

Highly unlikely

#

But super fun

lucid shale
#

I feel that vault is the place with the most technologies in Sky, so its kind of likely too 😀

lost hull
#

Maybe it’s like a database

#

Like a physical database

mild lark
#

One major flaw of that theory...
Electricity doesn't exist for transistor to exist so then a logic won't be possible

lucid shale
#

Guys, idk if i get this right... But from some of the documents theories i read...
So basically the realms of sky is set showing the technologixal development being that isle has the least development and vault has the most advances... However during the development of technologies, the natural landscape of the realm becomes more polluted and darkness started to appear more e.g. GW...
I really liked this lore if it was true :O

tender dune
#

yeah

mild lark
#

Yeah that was probably what happened

lucid shale
#

@mild lark maybe the red thingy that flicker on and off resembled the bits of data 0 and 1?

mild lark
#

Very likely

unreal loom
#

I like to think the children dirvie from stone? Like stone creatures with light abilities, but I like to also agree they look organic in a way so maybe wax would be a better? I feel like if they were actually made of light, that their skin would glow? But their skin is dark like ash.. not sure exactly but it’s something I’d like to think about
Since they have fire like abilities, and use the essence of light to power themselves ( like a candle? )
Sorry this is off topic to the current situation I’m just like 😳

tender dune
#

nah its not off topic xD

#

dw

mild lark
#

Oh boi.. umm

lucid shale
#

But from the ||office|| poster, the 7 realms resembled phases in life, like birth, teens, adult, death, ||rebirth|| right?, but i like the previous theory better tho

mild lark

I think I should sleep

My caffeine stimulan has done it job.. goodnight!

u dont need to add spoilers here

#

u can talk about anything here

Gotaa lo e his concept art

hushed steeple
#

Those are all from the same artist?

static gull
#

yep

hushed steeple
#

Right, they are all in the link lol

static gull
#

he also designed "the interiors of the ship "The Morningstar" for the League of Legends Odyssey promo cinematic"

hushed steeple
#

Does anybody knows where the idea of masks came from? Wether it be canon or non-canon

tender dune
#

i see typing but no posting

hushed steeple
#

Are Diamonds called Dark Stones also?

cedar radish
#

Masks, symbolically or physically, are for covering something. Maybe people were unhappy with the King, or there were problems, so the masks became a trend.

tender dune
#

Are Diamonds called Dark Stones also?
i think so

#

we tend to call them power diamonds in this channel xD

static gull
#

Does anybody knows where the idea of masks came from? Wether it be canon or non-canon
@hushed steeple tbh it's probably just because cosmetics lol

tender dune
#

might be for cosmetics but you can always think of them lore-wise xD

#

not everything in the art concepts is in the game/canon, so some might be old or discarded ideas

static gull
tender dune
#

but they give a nice rough idea of whats happening tbh

hushed steeple
#

Yes, was just gonna ask about the Ancestors

static gull
#

you'd think they would make the default unmasked and you have to pay to buy a mask or something idk

hushed steeple
#

Are they the Spirits we meet, or we never met any concept-art-Ancestor?

tender dune
#

yeah and the forehead hole makes me go pSquint

#

Are they the Spirits we meet, or we never met any concept-art-Ancestor?
can you explain more?

#

sry i didnt undestand stickerEmbarrassed

hushed steeple
#

(Yeah, sorry, my english is a lil off, I'm not native). But I was gonna ask about the root of the mask with this picture.

#

The Ancestors used them. But who are these Ancestors? The Spirits?

#

Or we never actually meet any of these concept-art-Ancestor? That's what I meant

tender dune
#

oo

hushed steeple
#

Or are they the Elders?

tender dune
#

dw im not native speaker

#

elders are different than ancestors

#

the ancestors are the spirits we meet and get emotes from

static gull
#

and elders are like the god of the realms lolol

tender dune
#

that concept picture shows you how sky kids might have been created

#

and elders are like the god of the realms lolol
yep since they fell from the sky, they're different entities

lethal stump
#

Elders, Ancestors, and Skids are all different species

#

that’s a concept art, so it’s information might not be 100% accurate to current canon

#

the « Ancestor » in that art looks like old isle elder, so i believe it’s referencing the Elders rather than the Ancestors/Spirits

tender dune
hushed steeple
#

It's hard to not link concept art with canon stickerGloomy

tender dune
#

yeh

static gull
#

oh can someone explain what the lights are

barren bough
#

@here

static gull
#

like why there's blue cyan red blah blah

lethal stump
#

we aren’t able @/here, Romero

static gull
#

hahaha

#

got kicked or left i think

lethal stump
#

well, it’s unclear why they’re those colours

#

we’re not sure, honestly

gloomy orchid
#

Don’t know how long the concept for the lights has been around buts it’s probably the newest thing in the game

#

I thought it had to do with what they correspond to in the Ark, when you had to do the missions

#

Like I remember green made the grass grow, and purple restored all the purple tents and stuff

static gull
#

yeah i've only been playing for around a month and he lights seem really random

gloomy orchid
#

I see

#

Oh! So have you been to the Ark yet?

static gull
#

i actually went there today for the lights haha

gloomy orchid
#

Ooooohhhhh

static gull
#

i think the sky turned bluer when i got the blue light??? but i have no idea

gloomy orchid
#

Yeah! Something like that. It’s been a minute.

lethal stump
static gull
#

so preeeetty

gloomy orchid
#

Ah yes, the middle one is the one I had in mind

#

I remember seeing this way back when it was only beta but didn’t pay too much mind then.

Lol @cedar radish about to drop an entire book 😆

hahaha

I'm very curious about the elders ah

Do anyone have the prelude vid/screenshots

tender dune
#

its in the pins

I read in the ideas and theories docs this: "All creatures are born naturally into the world<{CANON LORE}"

But I couldn't find the source, it isn't in the Canon Lore Confirmed docs.

But fire burns on oil?

hushed steeple
hushed steeple
#

If the wasteland waters are or have substantial oil composition, it would be very dangerous as we would spontaneously combust on contact

inner comet
#

theres a chance it is oil since wasteland has alot of factories in it sooo

static spoke
#

💥

mild lark
#

Maybe it was unrefined oil?

boreal nebula
#

Computer understand that as 0 and 1
I think 1 bit is ten 0 and 1? Idk
Byte is alot higher that a bit..

@mild lark not sure If someone corrected you yet (always alot to read in this channel) but 1 bit is just 01, if you add another , you get 10 which is 2 in binary (instead of our ten in decimal base).

Then Byte = 8 bits ( 10000000 ≈ 2⁷ =128 )

mild lark
#

Oh really

#

I must messed up then

#

I should sleep right now but my caffeine stimulan says no

#

So forgive my grammar errors

#

should I delete or recorrect my mistake? @boreal nebula

#

I'll just delete it..
My brain to tired rn

static spoke
#

Ok

mild lark
#

But woosh another theory
I do think that this ship is broken in half because of there is no water..
Like it collapse by it own weight.
Usually happens for a huge ship. Especially a cargo ship. Oh look the ship design look very similar to irl cargo ship.

static spoke
#

🧐

#

Quite possible

#

It could have been carrying batteries

mild lark
#

How do you spell forgottan again

#

I'll just go with it

brittle gust
#

Forgotten

mild lark
#

The same can be said with forgotten ark ... With such a huge ship. It can't possibly hold it by itself

#

Ay yes forgotten...

hushed steeple
#

What is the battery theory?

mild lark
#

Umm

#

The gold jar is a battery because it seem to powers the whole factory.. idk

#

Might need to see the cutscene again

#

But it look to good to be not detachable right?

@mild lark I like that! It would explain the water puddles in the sands and the water-ish sound of rocks (which some said to be covered in oil, but they would be slippery, wouldn't they )

mild lark
#

Yeah oil will make it slippery

static spoke
#

Just walking along and whoops! Your Sky kid is down.

rugged jackal
#

Has anyone else thought about the slightly-secret area in Hidden Forest? The lush green with the whale cutscene?

lethal stump
#

Pineswood ?

hushed steeple
#

I thought it was called sunny forest

lethal stump
#

that’s the clearing with the pond

#

the underground area is called pineswood

rugged jackal
#

Oh ok

static spoke
#

Ö

rugged jackal
#

Pineswood

static spoke
#

I learned something new today!

rugged jackal
#

But still

lethal stump
#

Imo, I think pineswood used to be a mining operation

#

it’s become overgrown from time

rugged jackal
#

I just always thought that something was... Off?

#

After all,

#

The whale shows up in Eden.

#

And maybe it's a ghost since we see it's skeloton?

#

At least, that's what my friend told me.

lethal stump
#

the skeleton in boneyard is rlly small compared to the whale we see in-game
most think they’re separate entities

hushed steeple
#

The whale also shows up in the cloud tunnels from valley to wasteland

rugged jackal
#

Yeah

#

That's what my friend told me

#

But it's still kind of weird

#

That it shows up in Eden

lethal stump
#

and if it were a ghost, it probably wouldn’t be able to destroy things

rugged jackal
#

Hmm

#

That's a good point'

#

But it IS Eden.

hushed steeple
#

They also damage us when in close proximity

rugged jackal
#

Ohh

#

I didn't know that

hushed steeple
#

Has anyone else thought about the slightly-secret area in Hidden Forest? The lush green with the whale cutscene?
Where does a Whale appears in Forest? Isn't it Golden Wasteland its first appearance? Imma bit lost actually stickerGloomy

rugged jackal
#

The Pinewood

#

And my friend told me it was a whale

lethal stump
#

we call it Tuna King or whale

rugged jackal
#

My best guess

#

Is that they thought the skeleton

#

Was the thing

#

And since the spirit said "Whale Whisperer"

#

They thought it was a whale

#

I'll still call it whale tbh

Yes?

I was hearing ur theory

I was a bit worried

No, continue 🔫pHelloKrill

lethal stump
#

don’t be worried. it’s common that the chat will randomly die simply cause we don’t know what to say/talk abt

rugged jackal
#

I'm not very good at theorying

lethal stump

are you new to lore ?

rugged jackal

And I can't play because it keeps crashing

Theorizing is the correct word

In this chat
You are free stickerHeart

rugged jackal
#

Yep

rugged jackal
#

I also don't know like anything about this whale

lethal stump
#

neither do we SkyTada

rugged jackal
#

We only see it in a small cutscene in Pinewood

#

And in after Eden.

lethal stump
#

we see it in Pineswood, Wasteland social space, and Ascent

static spoke
#

We are flying by the seat of our pants!

rugged jackal
#

Wasteland social space?

lethal stump
#

yes

rugged jackal
#

I call it Wasteland Hub.

static spoke

(Or in some cases, our jumpsuits)

lethal stump

it flies by intermittently and lets out a call

rugged jackal
#

Oh

#

I'll try to go there and see

#

We solved the bloop sound

#

That was a joke

rugged jackal
#

I hope I will since it keeps crashing

#

Looking around

#

Where is it?

lethal stump
#

look behind you, towards where you come from Valley

rugged jackal
#

I'm kind of scared ; ;

#

Well nerveous

#

I wonder why it would be there though

boreal nebula
#

I forgot we saw whales in the clouds after leaving the Valley...

(Back then they scared me to suddenly see this giant Cloud Slugs SkyLOL )

Also in my mind I called Pineswood with Whale Cave/Reservoir or Underground as I read somewhere ( I wish they would put there a Title Captions like in other areas)

rugged jackal
#

First in Pinewood, (Hidden Forest) then in Valley/Wasteland, and then in Eden.

#

Perhaps it's following..?

boreal nebula
#

(it would even help new months understand those ARE whales, when they appear)

i feel like it’s guiding

rugged jackal
#

Hmm

#

Maybe

lethal stump
#

since we seem to be following it

rugged jackal
#

Random Fact: I suggested this to Game Theory

#

Lol

hushed steeple
#

Wait what

boreal nebula
#

Mmm. Perhaps, but would that makes him/her the last of his/her kind
IF it's following us

rugged jackal
#

He's going to ignore me ; ;

#

Hmm

hushed steeple
#

What game theory?

lethal stump
#

don’t take it personally, Lyla

#

the youtuber, Lamb

hushed steeple
#

Oh

rugged jackal
#

Mr Bricky Brinson. How could we be following it?

lethal stump
#

it always seems to appear in front of us, like it was there before we were
and in ascent, it leads us up to orbit
so i feel like it’s guiding/we’re following

hushed steeple
#

It is technically on the same path as the birds, just that it does not take a direct path from which is visible in the playable area

rugged jackal
#

That's a good point

#

These are all good points

hushed steeple
#

The fact that it wields such an immense power and hurt the sky child signify it could represent a quality/element that serves as a double edged sword

rugged jackal
#

Mmhmm

#

Oh yeah

#

And I call Sky Child, Sarah.

#

Don't ask please

#

I'm still waiting for whale

lethal stump
#

once i finish this cr i’ll send a picture

rugged jackal
#

OK

#

I'm with a friend rn so ill be a bit slower'

lethal stump
static spoke
#

I looked like that yesterday

lethal stump
#

he comes up out of the clouds then goes back in

static spoke
#

Aha

rugged jackal
#

Like in the Oinewood?

lethal stump
#

yes

rugged jackal
#

Pinewood?

static spoke
#

I always tried to catch him

rugged jackal
#

Yes

lethal stump
sinful gull
#

the best pics you can get of him are in Orbit

rugged jackal
#

Mmhmm

#

That makes sense

#

BUT GUESS WHAT

static spoke
#

Do tell.

glad forge
#

I touched the one in Wasteland and in Eden as well

rugged jackal
#

I'm going with a friend to Eden

#

Yes

glad forge
#

The Wasteland didnt do anything

#

But the Eden, well I lost energy

rugged jackal
#

That makes sense

#

Well

#

I need to go

#

Bye!~

#

Hi everyone. i read your theories with great interest and all the docs too. i thought i left you this pictures of the whale in wasteland. i took them a few days ago. if you circle in that area, you can see it from really close.

tender dune
#

oo

inland scarab
#

I think the one in eden hurts us, because in this moment it rams full on in the rocks and that needs quite a lot of energy

#

the one in wasteland simply glides thru the clouds and is slower than the one in eden

severe swallow
#

what about the one in hidden forest? under the tree tunnel

inland scarab
#

never come close enough to test that... i will try tomorrow

frigid ridge
#

I always thought they were coeleocanths, not whales—

lethal stump
#

they are modelled after coeleocanths

#

they are not whales

inland scarab
#

coeleo...what-the-what-now?

lethal stump
#

whale is a fan term

Ohhh

#

I see

@inland scarab it’s a fish said to be very little evolved, basically a dinosaur xD

#

It’s very rare and old

inland scarab
#

just googled it, Quastenflosser in my language...sorry😆

#

And very ugly

#

Isoke! French?

inland scarab
#

nope german

frigid ridge
#

Ahhh that sounded similar pff-

mortal viper
#

it’s a fish said to be very little evolved, basically a dinosaur xD
It's actually a really ancient species, probably older then dinossaurs. And if we are to consider evolved as a synonim to proximity to us in the tree of life (which is not right), coeleocanths are more evolved than all other fishes, sharks and rays in the ocean.
sorry for the biological ranting, but I thought I should leave this here

frigid ridge
#

Nono sorry, thank you! I didn’t know quite well, thanks for the info!!

mortal viper
#

you're welcome

hushed steeple
#

I ramed into the one in the pinewoods, and it still hurt us

#

Maybe I will try it again, but I cant actually see my light wedges so it will be hard

tender dune
#

yes it does hurt

#

sliding or ramming hurts

#

doesnt matter what

tender dune
#

why do we sink in ice rink water but float in normal water pThink

ancient lance
#

Maybe because the water is colder and makes us heavier? SkyShrug

fringe yarrow
#

was actually really curious about this so I looked it up - not even a swimmer myself, much less a diver, but it sounds like you would actually be slightly more buoyant in cold water (though the difference is minute enough as to not matter, at least within the range of temps that humans could reasonably dive in)

#

you're also more buoyant in salt than freshwater, but I don't know that it makes sense to suggest Valley's water is fresh and everywhere else is saltwater lol

#

maybe Isle and Sanctuary could be salt, but...

ancient lance
#

True.

tender dune
#

hmmm

#

but forest has 'freshwater' and you float

fringe yarrow
#

yes, that's what I'm saying - it doesn't make sense to suggest most locations would have saltwater!

tender dune
#

ye

fringe yarrow
#

ofc comparing skykids to human buoyancy is probably a lost cause anyway, but... interesting to think about haha.

ancient lance
#

And most of the time water in higher altitudes like mountains are fresh..

And true

tender dune
#

i need to sleep soo stickerTired bbye

ancient lance
fringe yarrow
#

sleep well!! sorry that my answer was basically "no idea, doesn't seem to correspond to earth water" haha

ancient lance
#

Lol you good

tender dune
#

hahaha nah i put the question here for others to think too

#

ill read more answers hopefully later

fringe yarrow
#

it's a good question!!! and I learned things from it, which is always nice~

Can I ask a question

lethal stump
#

yes !

I have been seeing this thing about megabird everywhere, what is megabird?

The debate about the cold water...

You can sink in regular water in the game depending on what angle you go into it at-

fringe yarrow
#

very true!!! i wasn't sure whether to consider that...

#

but there's the spot in prairie caverns that's really easy to just walk into, and most other deep enough spots if you're careful (and/or glitch a little) you can stand on the bottom too, so...

golden cave
#

Have you tried to swim in the sea in GW (the sea toward the forgotten ark?)

fringe yarrow
#

I think the intent is for you to float in most water, though...

#

oh? i haven't :o does it behave oddly?

golden cave
#

I’m panic thoo...

#

We swimming so slowly

#

As it consuming our light so faster

gleaming flicker
#

You can also sink in forest-

golden cave
#

Not so faster but worse

gleaming flicker
#

Specifically the sunny part-

golden cave
#

Yeah

#

Ehh?

#

Really?

gleaming flicker
#

Yeah

golden cave
#

In that jellyfish part or before the jellyfish comes out?

gleaming flicker

The part of the forest that had the table and fire. With the bridges that are connected to the trees.

@gleaming flicker The debate about the cold water...

You can sink in regular water in the game depending on what angle you go into it at-

Never known

#

Ouhhh

#

I think.....it’s maybe from the rain

#

No.

#

The side area

The table and the fire?

#

Where is it?...........

where belonging took place.

#

Uhh blurry but beautiful🥺

gleaming flicker
#

I sunk in that pond

#

Ouh it does consuming our light depends on our angle huh??

#

Never tried😅

#

Well I’ll try it today

#

Being underwater doesn’t take your light.

#

Being underwater in wasteland does.

#

And in ||eden||

gleaming flicker
#

Yup

#

Also

#

Why is Daleth not on the eden door?

lethal stump
#

do you want the boring answer

#

or the cool one

gleaming flicker
#

Both

tender dune
#

givvem mine

lethal stump
#

boring answer: the eden door has been like that since beta, back when isle was a tutorial level so they didn’t really count Daleth as an elder to open the door

#

cool answer: my theory is he did something for the elders to reject him. i’m thinking he wasn’t on board with the invention aka the power diamonds, and everyone else was, so he got kicked out

gleaming flicker

summary of mine too

i finf the 'isle is tutorial thing' not a true ansewr

sneep !

hushed steeple
#

Why is only this segment of the inscription dark?

sly kestrel
#

Idk exactly why but it’s the same direction as the exit/entrance to vault

hushed steeple
#

So we basically can't defeat Krills and we just get revived and stuck in a loop? stickerShock

lethal stump
#

basically yes

hushed steeple
#

But krills aren't allowed at Orbit so when you get there you basically have defeated them, then... you just reborn.

signal temple
#

cool answer: my theory is he did something for the elders to reject him. i’m thinking he wasn’t on board with the invention aka the power diamonds, and everyone else was, so he got kicked out
@lethal stump then why is he with the others in the vault cutscene?

lethal stump
#

the light brings them all back together, Daleth included

hushed steeple
#

Why aren't Krills allowed in the orbit? Is it because it's too bright for them?

lethal stump
#

They’re creatures of darkness, I don’t think they’d want to go near the Big Glowing Ball of Light

lyric isle
#

unrelated to above statement

I’m pretty sure the krills are war machines.

#

I mean, no living creature sounds like...that.

polar pivot
#

well to be fair

#

they try to eat the light

#

i dont think having lots of potential food would discourage them from somewhere

hushed steeple
#

Wait they eat the light? I thought they just dissolve it like how you would blow over a candle type of thing

#

I just realized all the seasonal sprits with a cape that are found in vault have some sort of gold on them on the edges of the cape

bleak basin
#

Hey sooo

#

Tada

wet rapids
#

Sky kids are born fully clothed. pEyes With exception of the cape.

nimble siren
#

does that imply that the clothing is part of the body

lethal stump
#

seems like ours is, since even when our light is gone our clothes are there

nimble siren
#

thats.............. very cursed

dim bluff
#

What

lethal stump
#

would you rather we became naked when we lost our light SkyLOL

dim bluff
nimble siren
#

true but i dont like the idea that the pants and shirt are fleshy

lethal stump
#

they don’t seem to be fleshy

nimble siren
#

actually nvm skykids are made of stone anyways

lethal stump
#

we don’t seem to be fleshy

#

might just be fabric fused with the clay

boreal nebula
#

I think I had read a couple of speculations by ButterflyGaming (if I am not wrong) about the Isle Elder (don't know his Ebrew name) being outcasted thus why his mask is destroyed & his missing depiction on the Eden Gates, but that didn't feel right for me... But it gave me food for thoughts

Like for example, he is the oldest of the Elders and possibly guided all other Elders when they fell on Earth (of Sky)

nimble siren
#

probably

dim bluff
#

actually nvm skykids are made of stone anyways
@nimble siren so you are saying that the rocks around us are... made of the same material as skykids? pEyes

boreal nebula
#

And I think there was another gate (besides the HomeSpace and Eden's Hub to enter the Storm) with the same circular shape in the middle of the door, even if I can't remember where I saw it

lethal stump
#

yep, in ascent

#

the gate to the castle has a circle in the centre

boreal nebula
#

But besides that "other" door, it can be that both Eden ones have a circular shape to point at the Isle Elder (recalling his staff top part)

#

And even if this wasn't a reference for him, I thought:

What if the other Elders are there on the door because they were the one who had sealed Eden in order to contain the Storm ?

#

.
The Eldest Elder was still present in all other representation statues (so I don't think he was casted away) but rather maybe he was the Leader, the wiser and the strongerst who sacrificed for the other Elders to push back the Storm while the others had to fullfill His wish, to not let His sacrifice be in vain

#

.
Another note is that the Eldest arrives in his cutscene exhausted and damaged with the Storm right behind him moments before we heal Him

#

Maybe I thought the last part with "Gandalf's plan to let anoticed Hobbits into Mordor" in mind

thin dirge
#

Ooh, that sounds interesting!

boreal nebula
#

Aaand goodnight

mild lark
#

Isle grandpa is so kind

hushed steeple
#

The way I understand it is that whatever is a physical manifestation of light/energy dissipates when our light has gone out

rancid gate
#

ive had question for a while about our character's light energy: its a super small detail that i guess people notice but disregard,, when a butterfly land on our hand, why does it become pink? i know that we have a connection to butterflies because they charge our wings, but they dont turn pink when they do that...

#

we also use the butterfly on hand emote to open a door so there has to be somesort of connection regarding energy or something

hushed steeple
#

I like that pretty lil detail too, and maybe its just our more potent light energising their natural color, cause natural butterflies carry varied colors on their wings. As they touch us they became more "lighted" and so more colorful. Exactly like us when we get near Mantas, Birds and Jellyfishes.

thin dirge
#

Hey... I was trying to write a document about the theory I made... And a random thought came to me

#

What if one of the main reasons why the diamond at Eden went rogue and stuff was because the King decided to try and merge himself with the diamond?

lethal stump
#

that a theory that comes up a lot around these parts uwu

thin dirge
#

Yeah... Honestly, when I first heard suggestion that the diamond seems to be alive, it really creeped me out

#

Wait, were there "factories" near Hidden Forest too?

lethal stump
#

the Forest temple is a factory uwu

thin dirge
#

Ahh, okay, thanks

Are we free to talk about contents of the office here? stickerHuh

When I was reading what can be made out on these posters, I was really pleasantly surprised. I hadn’t taken the symbolism in the game as to aging, but I thought it was a representation moreso of living and coping with the grief that naturally comes in your life. That being said, aging and grief go hand-in-hand, so I’m not trying to be like, “They’re wrong!” I just really like analyzing this kind of stuff, and typing it out helps me process it. It’s really wonderful to think about how they tied the concept of growth through the game so subtly. Not only the concept of growth, too, but the idea of selflessness and altruism.

As I think about it more, I wonder if Krill and the Whales are tied to two sides of the same coin. The Krill are blatantly destructive beings who actively try to harm you. Meanwhile, the Whales, while they never harm you, almost seem aloft, with not much regard to the world around them. They’re almost aggressively passive in a way. Maybe the Sky Kids are supposed to represent a balance of peace/goodwill and defense of those around them and themselves?

That could tie in with the aging with the fact that early in the game, there are no Crabs or Krill for you to deal with. They’re slowly introduced through the process of the game, and, like how you learn to cope with grievances in real life, you slowly learn how to cope with these enemies as a player.

#

Sorry for the long message!!! This game is just really neat. 🥺💖

hushed steeple
#

I really like your interpretation that whales and krills are two sides of the same coin

thin dirge
#

Yeah, same. I kinda thought of the Krill being opposites of Whales, but not in the way you interpreted it. Yeah, I really like your interpretation too!

#

Also, I kinda finished my doc about the "Light Created Darkness" theory

#

Though, don't edit it if you somehow can pls

#

I thought I needed to make a doc about it cause I had to explain it three times yesterday, haha

#

Four if you count the previous night before that

solar relic
#

Rainy: I agree with your point that skids are a balance! From the concept art they are shown to be in the middle of the dark-light spectrum, but it can also be interpreted as them being both altruistic and not at the same time (I guess this will depend on play style really, ahaha)

#

ButterflyGaming, I can't access the doc, even after I signed in, maybe check the perms?

hushed steeple
#

User authentication failed

mild lark
#

How do you make a doc?

thin dirge
#

Uhh... Google doc?

hushed steeple
#

Google doc, though I usually do it locally

mild lark
#

Actually a cool theory

hushed steeple
#

Interesting theory, null once talked about the mutual dependencies of light and darkness, such that darkness will not simply "consume" all that of light, but maintains its flame to assure its own existence.

mild lark
#

Kinda sad when you think of it...
All of the universe will eventually experience heat death..
Where darkness is light's ultimate nemesis..

hushed steeple
#

I wouldnt say darkness is light's nemesis per say, but darkness is the absence of light, what seems to be the overpowering of darkness is the depletion of light

thin dirge
#

In our Universe, yeah... Though my interpretation as well is that light always eventually returns from the darkness. Darkness and light are natural and act like Yin and Yang. Like day and night. Right now in Sky, we're in the beginning of the "Dawn" phase.

#

The long bitter time before the Sky kid coming to existence and after the collapse of civilisation was the night phase

mild lark
#

You mean the phase that represents each realm?

thin dirge
#

Kinda like that? But each Era also represents day and night, where there are times the light is dominant and the darkness is dominant

#

The collapse of civilisation represents dusk. Its peak was the day. The stars beginning their civilisation was the dawn

hushed steeple
#

Why do we lose light when falling from a high place?

thin dirge
#

I just assumed it's because we get hurt and thus, loses a light

#

Anyone would be hurt if you fly at high speeds and slam into a rock face first, right?

mild lark
#

A sudden lost of energy?

#

I've never lose a wing light head on from a high place tho

sinful anvil
#

Why do geysers not hurt us

mild lark
#

Ive tried it so many time...

#

game mechanics
Imo

hushed steeple
#

You are essentially saying that light is the life force of a sky child, but I do not think it is a direct correlation, we are able to conjure candles out of light, yet we can not replenish light on our own

sinful anvil
#

Ive thought about light is like blood

hushed steeple
#

The game forces you to float unless you dont

mild lark
#

You can't create energy

thin dirge
#

Well, our Sky kid can be interpreted as a vessel for the winged lights, right?

#

If you "hurt" that vessel, there's always that chance of losing some light that the vessel holds...

mild lark
#

That's why we need something to burn to recharge our light...

thin dirge
#

Yep

hushed steeple
#

You can induce energy though

mild lark
#

Yep but you need something else

hushed steeple
#

My main point is that we can perpetually hold candles without draining our own light

#

Unless the candles do not burn?

#

And all energy is conserved when the candle vanishes

mild lark
#

My point of view is the flame of that candle is the soul of skykid?
You can see that skykid kinda wear a necklace.. I'm not sure because someone told me this.. but that necklace hold a light. But when you bring out your candle.. it gone.
Maybe because the light goes to the candle..

thin dirge
#

Yeah, I believed the Sky kid was brought to life from light. Making us similar to light creatues

#

It's how it was depicted in the intro

delicate coral
#

I think that light is granted to us by either the megabird or the CoL, whoever the narrator is in the intro

#

so probably a deity figure that can grant a neverending light source

mild lark
#

wow we living in a world where you can hold light..

delicate coral
#

They say "wake up child, bring our lost stars home" and the visual accompaniment is that light thing in our chest flaring up

thin dirge
#

The light shown in the intro that appears to have brought us to life looks like it came from the sky, so maybe its the Megabird

hushed steeple
#

I believe light is a binding force that wields the dark vessel, when we fall from high altitudes or suffer intense physical damage to the vessel, the force of light then rebinds the vessel together.

#

Fair enough, cant argue against a deity

delicate coral
#

no, the light doesn't come from the sky, the physical bodies do

#

the light flares up and appears on its own

hushed steeple
#

What do you mean?

delicate coral
#

from this time stamp

#

the light flares up on its own, right after the narrator says to "wake up"

thin dirge
#

Look at the intro again. After the stars disappeared, there was a shower of lights afterwards. One of them falls to the top of the mural of the Sky kid. It looks like it brought us to life

hushed steeple
#

Were you replying to my post?

thin dirge
#

I was reply to @delicate coral

delicate coral
#

and I was replying to butterfly

hushed steeple
#

Oh

#

I got confused

delicate coral
#

The light that comes down from the sky is not the light in our bodies, it's just the bodies themselves

#

most likely

#

I think the specifics of that probably aren't of paramount importance anyway SkyLOL

delicate coral
#

yeah, that streak of light ends before we can see what it does

sinful anvil
#

And then we wake up and then not given actual wings pFIRE

mild lark
#

We also look like a meteorite when we are about to be rebirth

delicate coral
#

It could be the skykid's body, or it could be the light itself, but since it doesn't follow down all the way there's not really any way to know

mild lark
#

Just like the intro

thin dirge
#

Yes, but it still went above us. If it continued, it would've went to us. It just didn't show that it went all the way down

hushed steeple
#

in my interpretation, the narrator gave light to the sky child(an empty vessel) to animate it. Our movements are impaired further and further when our light is depleted or under influence of darkness. But we do not ever lose this binding force in eden, it simply can not reunite the fragments of dark vessel anymore and bursts from its core

delicate coral
#

either way the implication is the same, the narrator/deity gave us our light

hushed steeple
#

I agree

thin dirge
#

Yeah

#

Could've been an Elder that didn't fall with the others

mild lark
#

Imagine the amount of player is the amount of skykid canonically.. oof

solar relic
#

definitely skids are vessels of light at least, not fully of darkness but not fully of light either

hushed steeple
#

I dont think multiplayer is canon, rather a mechanics. I wouldnt expect lore to change everyday/everysecond

sinful anvil
#

Been thinking about it ... the sky world is a little bit weird. Everyone is kinda dramatic and slow. Eg telekinesis emote, you need to lean back and extend your hands; forest elder needs a second for the hammer and kinda some time to encase the light and send it up. Even most of the emotes are acted out in more than a second... Except for Sneaky Survivor and valley elders it’s like agility isn’t a must here

Im just. thinking about this

mild lark
#

Just imagining lol

thin dirge
#

I like to think the light went to us in the intro . It would fit the metaphor of the different stages of life*. The light that went down to us could represent a new soul going to a body for the first time

hushed steeple
#

Time is relative

solar relic
#

i think multiplayer is canon, since there's an entire sequence in orbit that shows all friends

#

and there's other unnamed skids flying together as well

hushed steeple
#

Depends on what aspect of multiplayer

#

I have to consult bricky on this

lethal stump
#

what
why was i summoned

mild lark
#

Wow that is fast summoning

lethal stump
#

say my name and i will come

thin dirge
#

There's also multiple streams of light in the intro, which may have been the light that that brought us to life

lethal stump
#

most of the time

hushed steeple
#

We I need help on deciding whether or not multiplayer is cannon

lethal stump
#

up to you

#

goodbye

solar relic
#

nice

thin dirge
#

Oh wow

#

Nice answer. I see it as canon then!

solar relic
#

it definitely is up to interpretation at least

#

for now (tm)

thin dirge
#

When we try to get the grand answer to things, the answers always so simple than expected I guess

delicate coral
#

I think it's highly likely that multiplayer is canon

thin dirge
#

Same

delicate coral
#

the beta had murals with multiple skykids in them too

hushed steeple
#

The one thing that determines if multiplayer is canon is if the storyline ends at rebirth or is continuous onwards

solar relic
#

oh god that king mural with the dead skids

sly kestrel
#

There are no murals with skykids

delicate coral
#

not anymore, in the beta

#

yeah the dead skykids one

thin dirge
#

Wait wha-

#

Oh, that kinda sounds like the concept idea of the king

sly kestrel
#

Well anything in pre launch beta isn’t rlly relevant to the current story

lethal stump
#

that wasn’t in beta iirc ? i thought it was only concept art, Dropman

solar relic
#

i have the photo

sly kestrel
#

Probably is

mild lark
#

Beta is subject to change right?

delicate coral
#

yes

#

but I think that big things like multiplayer probably remained consistent

lethal stump
#

pré-launch beta isn’t technically canon

delicate coral
#

but that's why I'm saying highly likely and not confirmed

thin dirge
#

I like to think it's canon

sly kestrel
#

It isn’t canon at all unless u have some sort of parallel universe theory u wanna head canon on

lethal stump
#

but if youre the kind who wants to obey the canon, then it must be ignored stickerGloomy

solar relic
#

(from my og acc) but yesh, this mural isn't related to current sky anymore since it's gone now stickerGloomy it would be creepy but cool to see tho

sly kestrel
#

Also pre launch beta wasn’t one concrete story
It was a test version that was being changed and updated very often

thin dirge
#

Ohh, that really looks like the concept idea where multiple sky kids had ti be sacrificed for one of them to fight the King

delicate coral
#

😮 hi res

thin dirge
#

One of the kids is standing

delicate coral
#

didn't realise you were back

sly kestrel
#

That was never a concept

lethal stump
#

it was the other way around, one skid sacrificed for the others to move on

solar relic
#

yep i'm back just for a bit stickerPeace am on an alt since i got locked out of my og acc

sly kestrel
#

Concepts are concepts but
One thing I know for sure is that there wasn’t a single concept where skykids fought the king, they were trying to save him

thin dirge
#

I thought when you fight the King all had to be sacrificed but one so that one kid could fight the King

sly kestrel
#

No

mild lark
#

And then you meet the prince.. to fight the king.. yeah

sly kestrel
#

where did u get fighting

#

Can u send me some links

lethal stump
delicate coral
#

if you want to be pedantic the king tries to fight you

but not the other way around

solar relic
#

it wasn't actually a fight, just you trying to survive whatever the king was throwing at you

sly kestrel
#

Yes the king tries to kill u but the skykids never fought
That’s what I’m saying

mild lark
solar relic
#

that's just him rescuing you

#

tis just a field trip to orbit

sly kestrel
#

I see a blank image

mild lark
#

I don't know how to fix that

thin dirge
#

Oops, wrong one

#

"In the end, they decide to sacrifice themselves and give all their inner light to one strongest descendant. The last one faces the Prince."

delicate coral
#

faces =/= fights

thin dirge
#

True, sorry, I guess I said it wrong

sly kestrel
#

That’s....not what that means

delicate coral
#

that's meant to be ≠

#

I couldn't be bothered to find the actual symbol

#

should be "faces ≠ fights"

mild lark
#

Faces is not the same as fights..?

thin dirge
#

Though it still says all sky kids gets sacrificed for one sky kid to face the Prince

#

Fits the picture from Beta

delicate coral
#

yes, when it says that the last one "faces the prince" somebody interpreted it as meaning that they "fight the prince"

#

ergo I said that facing someone is not the same as fighitng them

#

am I the one who's being unclear

#

probably

#

sorry just ignore me lol

hushed steeple
mild lark
#

Idk

#

Maybe ?

hushed steeple
#

It's behind the prairie temple

#

It shows a cutscene towards eden if you're standing the right place

lethal stump

yes, thats from old beta

that used to be forest social space, before it was changed

Owh

#

What’s up with these two islands you can see from home space

#

Are they significant?

lethal stump
#

that’s where the opening cutscene takes place

delicate coral

Oh interesting

eternal hearth

I wonder if there's a way to get there

lethal stump

people have tried

#

windwall is too strong

eternal hearth

Ah pity

that’s where the opening cutscene takes place
@lethal stump
HUH what opening cutscene sorry

Wait

#

Wasn't that pine's picture?

#

I can't remember who reached there before but i remember this picture

solar relic
#

ash/pines made it there yes

tender dune
#

Ah okay

sly kestrel
#

No it’s pines, yeah ur right
They are 2 different people pHelloKrill

thin dirge
#

The way this is positioned is actually interesting...

#

It looks like an accurate map of the place

#

Looks kinda intentional

kind bobcat
#

Is anything there seen in the intro? pEyes

@topaz girder @lethal stump
Ash was able to make it 😀
@sly kestrel
how thoo

What do they do> easter egg
@tender dune

tender dune
#

just there

#

literal easter egg xD

sacred dawn
#

I thought they have a purpose or something

tender dune
#

nope

urban frigate
#

Any theories on it?

tender dune
#

no theories i think since the creatures we see dont look like they lay eggs this size

glad forge
#

Megabird eggs

elder geode
#

ya'll what even is megabird???
been playing for 5 months but
i dont see any mega birds in the gamepEyes

glad forge
#

Well well, you can see one at the ending credits

gilded fossil
#

/end of the credits and in orbit

#

/she important but dev smeaky and makes us theorize all sort of stuff

glad forge
#

And its also in the office portal, in the water around it

tender dune
#

yep

gilded fossil
#

/nice

hushed steeple
#

anyone have any theories on why we get reborn while the skids in Eden don't?

#

I'm not really good at theorising and just want some other theories so I can sort of make sense of what's happening XD

gilded fossil
#

/they do get to go to orbit tho

hushed steeple
#

but why do they stay in eden as a statue and only go to orbit when we rescue(?) them?

#

while we go immediately to orbit?

#

Or do we have to get saved too and it feels like its immediate cuz we get stuck in a timeless limbo or smth?🤔

tender dune
#

thing is we see our body break and we turn into blue spirit

sly kestrel
#

The thing is Chirch, there is no clear answer that was made, the story is up to ur interpretation

thin dirge
#

We're probably not the same being as the other star kids we saved. The way we died seems different to the stars and is more similar to the ancestors more than anything.

high pollen
#

My personal theory is
The statues we save are the sky children who brought their winged lights to the Storm and died
To what was the very first sky child who died there was giving their light to, it's a case of the chicken and egg thing

#

The mirror image we embrace is the winged light somebody has given us so we can fly to orbit

thin dirge
#

For a moment, I thought it was the case when I saw one sky kid breaking out and flying away. I thought it was us for a moment but it could've been just one of the statues we saved

#

Maybe the first Sky kid is someone who tried to get to the Diamond but died?

high pollen
#

Well not giving light to any of the statues still shows the one sky child breaking out so a

thin dirge
#

Oh, so it must be us?

#

Interesting....

#

Explains the reset too

high pollen
#

Thats what I think, but gameplay and story segregation is a guessing game so xD

#

My personal theory in the reset is the flame we leave throughout the kingdom don't last forever so we need to constantly light it up to prevent from being completely engulfed in darkness or something.

#

Light gets trapped in darkstones in darker/shaded areas or within the vicinity of old machinery. Darkstones are weeds!

thin dirge
#

It was a belief, or at least my belief that civilisation was power by using light as an enegry source. Perhaps those murals shows how that came to be a thing?

gilded fossil
#

/yea i think it's the lightseekers people as well, consider that hat and the umbrella

#

/maybe the vault scholars was going to wasteland and bring energy but some got shipwreck to ark so they became the enchantment people?

kind bobcat
#

Yeah, the power diamonds are made using darkstone/darkness which was said to absorb light pEyes

#

And maybe every piece of machinery has a power diamond on it.

cursive epoch
#

Im not really sure where else to put this but does anyone know what those islands are? Its bugging me soooo much when i try to find information online!

solar relic
#

that's where the intro cutscene takes place

#

no one's been able to reach it recently though

cursive epoch
#

Ohhh

#

....... Insert me frantically trying to fly there despite the wind walls

solar relic
#

me

#

it used to be easier to reach using the normal table surfing method but the windwalls we have right now make it pretty much impossible (at the moment) to reach

cursive epoch
#

Awwwww. Would it not even work with a rocket or something ?

thin dirge
#

Only one person made it from what I've heard. This is the pic of what the OOB area looks like

cursive epoch
#

Wow so cool .....

#

I wish u could at least replay it

thin dirge
#

Though I believe that the positioning of the murals are intentional.

#

Normally, places for cutscenes are placed weirdly at times, but this one doesn't

#

Everything is positioned correctly, and looks like a map.

#

Also looks very different from the original cutscene too

lethal stump
#

looks like either a concept, or something that’s a WIP

kind bobcat
#

Or could be the answer to all our questions about the past of the sky kingdom pEyes

#

matpat we need you

lethal stump
thin dirge
#

Got it

#

Oh shoot, its bad quality

cursive epoch
#

Na its ok

#

And yeah the constellations on top also r the same

tender dune
lethal stump
#

it’s also important to mention the symbol over eden is that of the eden elder in the opening, meaning... pEyes

cursive epoch
#

Theres a WOT elder

lethal stump
#

are you new here ?

cursive epoch
#

yes :0

lethal stump
tender dune
#

do it brikeh

#

yas stickerHeart

thin dirge
#

We're actually going in circles THE WHOLE TIME. Our Home Space is just ahead of Eden if the map is accurate

#

The thing above Eden kinda looks more like the Orbit. The king was represented as a more humanoid figure in the intro

lethal stump
#

but look at the symbol
it’s the 8 pointed star, albeit a bit wonky
and the 8 pointed star is the CoL/Eden Elder’s symbol

thin dirge
#

Yeah, true. But he was never depicted as a 8 pointed star in the mural. Not even once. This was the place where the intro took place, sooo...
Plus, during the intro, the Elders were depicted like that too

lethal stump
#

yes he was...?

thin dirge
#

The other Elders were depicted as an 8 pointed star in the Intro, but never the King.

#

Oh wait, oops, I did forget that part

lethal stump
#

The star in eden (probably the king) is the 8 pointed star

#

additionally, his mask is an 8 pointed star

#

the 8 pointed star is the king’s symbol to some extent

thin dirge
#

Though the mural in Ash's screenshot isn't an eight-pointed star. It's a four-pointed star

lethal stump
#

Four pointed also represents the king at times

#

matches the main motif of his mask

tender dune
lethal stump
#

ive always found it interesting what position that puts us in in orbit pPopcorn

tender dune
#

mhm

lethal stump
#

we’re in the centre
and if you summon all the elders
it’s a mirror of the opening cutscene

tender dune
#

mhm

#

i said mhm twice oh no

lethal stump
#
  • CoL = prince = king = us theory intensifys *
tender dune
#

btw is it me or does krill honk replenish your light pEyes i think it did for me

lethal stump
#

i never noticed something like that pEyes

tender dune
#

when it attacked the manta it passed next to me with the honk and my wedges came back pEyes im wondering if its tru

thin dirge
#

The Elders also bow down to you then the crown appears right above in the Vault cutscene

#

It shows yourself first before transitioning to the crown constellation

#

There's also a chance the Prince and the King are different characters in the new story. We're the Prince reincarnated. (Not reborn, reincarnated. Rebirth and reincarnation can mean different things)

lethal stump
#

we don’t know if they’re separate or the same
personally i think they’re the same

#

it’s just kinda up to headcanon at that point :p

thin dirge
#

But... That goes against the idea of the multiplayers in-game... Unless the Prince split somehow

lethal stump
#

imo, multiplayer isn’t lore. there’s only one skid

thin dirge
#

Maybe

lethal stump
#

mostly cause most of the pivotal things we do in game are solo

thin dirge
#

Though I like the idea of the Prince being a seperate entity from the King. There's a theme in game about how the new generation comes to fix the mistakes of the old. What's better than that to make the character a reincarnation of the next gen of the King?

lethal stump
#

only you can light the fallen, if your friends do it it doesn’t register on your screen
only you can be in the cutscenes with the elders, oobs notwithstanding
and those skids are the end are just your past selves

thin dirge
#

Hmmm... Yeah... That makes sense
