I just realised chibis can blink,,,,

chibis also close their eyes in certain poses (e.g. wise stance's crouch, i believe), but i'm not too sure what to make of it from a lore angle

Its so terrifying lmao
Chibis dont really blink unless their doing a specific emote or playing music

ahahahah what if the season is in wastelanf
they are royals and umm gw has ALOT of king propagandq

we don’t know if the spirits are royal

that’s simply a guess on some people’s part

It woould be really funny if they just thrown it in isle
like everyone is like this has to be in vault

they at least look royal though

i hope theres a krill call

Idk if it can be in isle tho??? Its like a tutorial realm and thats about it
bleak basin
They need to put a barrier there then
broken basin
Well,I also believe that there will be 4 spirits and 1 questgiver. That's why only 5 in the art.
bleak basin
Since or else all moths are just going to run in there
lethal stump
there’s always 6 spirits and 1 quest giver in a season

Maybe its just the concepts

Part of the intrigue of this is that there’s 2 characters missing

there are plenty of hidden areas in isle, and even a few barriers, there's also a tall cliff that takes a while to get up with nothing but a crashed ship at the top

That was for a season

I also like the theory that these could be permeant spirits that will be in past seasonal areas

Let's wait and see

in beta or live , none .

What is confirmed:
There is something upcoming that involves 5 spirits
All of the spirits appear to have stone animal masks, but are facing away from us
These spirits will have something to do with a prophecy
late sigil

tender trail
also, if this is a season, it could have scattered spirits like the season of lightseekers
topaz girder
what if the middle spirit carries the prophecy to the king 😎
broken basin
I think there are 5 Spirits(4 + 1 questgiver) cause it there were 7 as usual why would they not mention two in the art.????
mellow quest
Maybe as someone said "they crashed in isle" and maybe they are now the chosen ones ? Or smth
inner comet
I mean based off there looks they look like travellers/scholars plus its called "prophecy" which kinda gives off vault vibes yaknow
topaz girder
i think it could be scattered

considering that all of their clothes are different

sending this again to everyone who's just joining us

The stone masks look very ceremonial

It's too big for a scroll, and perfect size for a carpet
Not denying, but I think what I think

that spirit is on the middle so maybe they are " leading " ?

Hm maybe this isnt a season and it has something related with days of summer lights?
Since tgc doesnt announce seasons that early
solar relic
it is a season and it isn't related to the summer lights event
lethal stump
It’s highly likely to be a season
solar relic
ap08 ap08
topaz girder
summer lights is a small event , why would they add spirits and such big things like this ?
mellow quest
Hmmm
solar relic
i'm thinking that for the focus of the season it'll be finding whoever else isn't in the promotional art unless they'll be adding images of the other 2 in future updates
lethal stump
maybe finding...pieces of them...
- glances at king *
inner comet
i mean they always make it 6 spirits with a new place and that would be weird if Tgc went back to the old way???? They are developing the game soooo
solar relic
they're changing things up perhaps this season probably will be very much different from previous seasons as it may focus much more on lore
tender trail
it's also possible that some of the spirits might just not be finished yet
solar relic
previous seasons have not been so lore heavy, they were mostly for worldbuilding instead
lethal stump
I don’t understand messing up the theme of 7 for a lore season
Don’t you think it would make sense to keep the theme of 7 since 7 is a very important number in sky ?
I feel like there’s two spirits missing on purpose

My personal prediction about this season is that for every quest the player completes (either finding spirits, or something in the vein of sanctuary bells and enchantment lights) there will be a cutscene in which a line of "the prophecy" is revealed, I suspect it will be very vague, but give us lots of fun hints

Valley elders count as 1 elder
@late sigil Please keep beta content in beta channels

Imagine having to get them in eden lmao

I think adding spirits to eden would detract from its intended purpose

Is it weird that the Elder names disorientate me slightly because of the differences between names of letters in Hebrew and Yiddish
Though probably irrelevant, I’m just saying
though it’s...a bit of a way to remember
“Ayin for the Elder, Ayen for the letter”
short owl
Voluntary, I think that's actually where the names came from
abstract crypt
Can someone please tell stop asking and telling beta content here
lyric isle
Exactly
It is where they came from
it just confuses me a bit as this
self-taught Yiddish student to confess
but I’ve gotten used to it now
lethal stump
Which chart is hebrew and which is yiddish ?
lyric isle
Top is Hebrew
lethal stump
When it comes to hebrew letter names, I have a chart that shows something different
I think it just depends on where you got your info
lyric isle
Kind of a difference is that Yiddish has certain letters only used in Hebrew “loshn-koydesh” (literally ‘holy tongue’) loanwords
Ye, this chart is only the letters
not their significances
lethal stump
This is the one I’ve been using. Even then, the letters are spelt differently
lyric isle
There are...several ways (apparently)
lethal stump
Yes
But the way the concepts spell them is the old concept-canon way
which is why people spelling it ‘Aleph’ annoy me sometimes cause the devs specifically spelt it ‘Alef’
broken basin
I think why tgc posted a teaser showing all Cosmetics this early cause they want us to realise that cosmetics aren't the most important part of a season, they are just a side thing. Most people don't think this way. They showed the Cosmetics this early Just to say that they aren't the most important thing
lyric isle
([letter] Sophith? I only know Langer [letter])
barren bloom
I believe it's in the pins somewhere?
@short owl can't find it
inner comet
Alef literally sounds like the first letter in the arabic alphabet (أ)
lethal stump
Yes, because Alpha, Alef, and Aleph all come from the same root letter
lethal stump
‘Alph’ is where they come from, which is the Phoenician first letter of the alphabet
lyric isle
Yes.
lethal stump
and then latin was boring and called it « Ay »
it’s all ✨related✨
But anyways, it’s important to remember that the names are no longer canon, so any connections with them should be taken with a grain or two of salt
inner comet
Okay but why dont they use them anymore??
uncut pier
Elders have names?
lethal stump
They used to, they’re nameless now
tender trail
it's too much of a connection to real life culture

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.

Only one valley name and a prince and king? I

I though that prince wasn't canon anymore
lethal stump
@primal verge take that to #seasons-events-chat
Hah, Noodle, funny story, that’s a claim with 0 evidence
fallen epoch
Is the news prophecy even a new season? no season has had only 5 spirits, nor been announced during another season
solar relic
all right i'm gonna copypaste my explanation again
primal verge
@lethal stump I was sent to here from other channels
lethal stump
The claim that the Prince was no longer canon started in the theory chat and no dev quote to back it up
Mods have said that season speculation that is not lore goes in #seasons-events-chat

Alef is ‘beyond saving’

that includes where the season takes place

So i know there is the insta concept art that was posted but is there more
lethal stump
Yes, there’s a link in the moff doc
uncut pier
Oops sorry i went straight to names

the teaser image is for the next season. each season teaser image in the channel would have ap(number) in their image link. the new teaser image has ap08 (stands for adventure pass) in its link. check the other season teaser images. they'll have ap07, ap06, etc in their links.

so many lore moffs, fun
mellow drift
lethal stump
So many moffs, i feel old
tender dune
short owl
So the elders are locked out of space and time, right? What if we have to go back in time to save the prince? This makes it a "not around" and "anymore"
tender trail
I think that we need to consider that this season needs to not break the lore or experience for new players, that's why the past seasons have focused more on worldbuilding, this is also why I do not believe that the upcoming season will add a "new ending" to the game, unless it is the last season tgc ever plans to release, although I do think we may get hints at big things to come
The possibility of there being a missing questgiver spirit could be significant though, if you want to speculate about a character having importance, who could they be, if there even is a questgiver?
To me it looks like the spirits are all preparing to do some kind of ritual together, but I'm not sure what. These could also be warrior spirits of some kind, but that's unfounded
uncut pier
Its interesting how this channel went from talking about what forest rain might be made of and idle chatter and loose theories to paragraphs of this
tender trail
I just generally write big paragraphs when I make theories, I hope that's ok
mellow drift
uncut pier
No like im not saying its bad there is alot of paragraphs here
mellow drift
It’s so interesting
fallen epoch
Have any of you guys seen the moon inside the game? CONSPIRACY
uncut pier
The first theory here was literally forest rain is wasteland water
Oh that moon confuses me sky's whole moon and sun exsistence is confusing to me
fallen epoch
Wait, have you seen the moon?
fallen epoch
Oh yeah, so have I
lethal stump
Sky has both a sun and moon
tender trail
also many of the past seasons have been existing elements of the game but accentuated
Big masks, big emotes, caverns, but ship, big mantas
fallen epoch
nevermind then 😛
uncut pier
The ark and shipwreck ships are different its interesting
Shipwreck ship was carrying bells from prairie and ark is idk i think they survived an apocalypse or somethin
fallen epoch
I had an odd dream the other day about Sky having a true ending. I'm not going to get into many details, but it was a weird abondonded island like spirited away, it could be found before the Isle of Dawn. This is not relevant, I just wanted to say something about it
tender trail
yeah, one is an ancient ark, likely powered by flight, the other is made of metal and looks much more modern, but they are in the same zone
uncut pier
Different times i guess, ark came first probably or something, idk
fallen epoch
Ark could have been an attempt at expansion of the Golden Wastelands when it was better
tender trail
also, It seems like the things in the cargo ship are metal castings that surround the light diamonds, the forest temple has been identified as a production facility for them. There is a very similar facility early on in wasteland
fallen epoch
(Yeah I don't know what I am talking about)
uncut pier
Oh i thought they were bells
fallen epoch
Hey, what's up with Butterflies? Aren't they stars or somethin?
fallen epoch
well, in the beginning
It showed how the jars were used to transport stars
I think
aren't butterflies the only thing inside the jars?
lethal stump
Elders = Stars
fallen epoch
???
lethal stump
The Stars in the intro are the Elders
uncut pier
Elders are stars that fell out the sky
fallen epoch
Oh
uncut pier
And sky kids are idk
fallen epoch
That is odd
mellow drift
fallen epoch
Well, aren't we stars too? we are in an endless rebirth cycle from the sun
We fell from the sky, same as the elders
lethal stump
Skykids are seen at the end, « wake up, child, bring our lost stars home »
it seems we were sent
We aren’t stars as far as we know
solar relic
in the context of the intro the elders are stars
uncut pier
I thought we are like way down the line stars
fallen epoch
It would make some sense if the children of light were stars

Like we are the future future future future generation
fallen epoch
right?
uncut pier
Since theyre called ancestor spirits
fallen epoch
Also, what is the deal with eden?

skids cannot become elders

We may not be stars, but there seem to be stars associated with us.
I wonder if that means the elders aren't stars, but rather merged with stars
lethal stump
The discord link should have taken you to the message

It says children of light are the new generation like i said

new generation may refer to skids being a new batch of skids (first batch was perhaps the statues in eden)

Fresh out of the oven

megabird oven ofc
fallen epoch
I didn't get that far into reading
:p
So the creatures of light are born from light within the clouds?
hushed steeple
@hushed steeple
Did you except a season like enchantment to come, it was really different, maybe tgc is doing something different this time too.
And though we are used to having 6 spirit. Maybe this time there are only 5 or maybe 1 is gone somewhere.
They annouced it way before cause they know how to build excitement.
Noone knows that seasons are"positive" or "negative" and neither are sure that this season is "positive" ) or "negative".
Wdym warning, excitement warning?😂
Btw hi inky😂 😂 😂
@broken basin (sorry i went to bed) i think the “one spirit went away” is a valid point. Maybe it’ll be like a treasure hunt season? Where the spirits are a little harder to find? That would be cool. I also think i used my words wrong. I should’ve said ominous instead of negative
fallen epoch
Or its memory is lost
uncut pier
Do we know who speaks to us in opening cutscene
fallen epoch
No
lethal stump
Nope ! We have some theories though

I think its vault elder
fallen epoch
Nevermind
hushed steeple
I think its Isle elder tbh it makes the most sense to me
uncut pier
Its obviously oreo he is the true ruler of sky
normal berry
Imo it's the king/ the prince
solar relic
light creatures are not necessarily born from light within the clouds, they could just have been summoned into existence from the direction of the clouds, the creatures do materialise in prairie due to the spinning bells though
fallen epoch
Oreo is actually the reincarnation of a celestial being that crashed into the sun and found rebirth. duh
normal berry
manta's also seem to be born in the ocean

We see mantas come out of the water in sanctuary, makes me think they’re amphibious

@solar relic Does this mean Krill are the exact opposite?

What do you think the eggs in forest are
fallen epoch
OH
solar relic
who knows, krill could be corrupted light creatures, they could be naturally-occurring due to darkness
eggs in forest are literal easter eggs lmao

Nor have I
lethal stump
I know i have a headcanon about « krill eggs » but it’s founded on nothing but having fun
normal berry
oh, just a guess?
mellow drift
Do y’all think that krill could have been other creatures or something and could have gotten corrupted?
short owl
Okay bit of a crackpot theory but what if the prophecy is the photo, and the "beware the prophecy" is to poke fun at us for going mad about the prophecy. But also meta because there was similarly a minor prophecy that will show up in the event that drives everyone mad and then it happens and it's just like... "Oh."
fallen epoch
Could krill be born from the sludge?
uncut pier
I dont think its eggs i think they work like light creatures
normal berry
imo krill are their own species
lethal stump
Personally I think krill are naturally occurring, they aren’t « corrupted » anything
fallen epoch
Same here
normal berry
yuh
lethal stump
And sand

Mantas also come from water

If there are creatures of light it only makes sense if there are creatures of dark

When i was moth i spent most my days standing looking at murals

I like to think that Journey is part of the world below Sky
Prolly not true, but just for myself ^^
uncut pier
Isnt sky chapter 1 of something
fallen epoch
???
uncut pier
Yes i swear sky was called chapter 1
cold steppe
Abzu was not made by TGC. I believe it was the art director that worked on Journey that also did Abzu, but it was not made with TGC
uncut pier
Like someone called it that
stark marten
I think what they meant by that is that the core part of the game (with the regular constellations) is the first chapter, while the seasons kind of function as future chapters with the little bits of lore reveals they sometimes give us
rugged needle
What's Abzu
cold steppe
different game that has a similar art style to Journey
rugged needle
Ooo

@uncut pier i think the comment you are thinking of is "sky series"

normal berry
the theory is that the rain in forest is polluted
lethal stump
I believe the rain we see is precipitated from Wasteland water which is why it hurts
uncut pier
Because sky creatures are modelled after sea ones
rugged needle
Oh? 👀
cold steppe
yeah, I think Jenova Chen said something similar about a chapter 1, but technically the elders' comments about lore aren't official
the elders here are players that were chosen by TGC to be shepherds then elders, so they don't know anything from TGC other than what we are given

I don’t remember where, but I did find the article where Jenova Chen said something to the affect of « sky is only the beginning »

I cant wrap my head around sky kids in relation to elders and winged light and the statues idk why
@uncut pier elders are complicated, statues are lightless skykids, winged light are souls/life force/agility/ binding agent of sky kids

The devs have confirmed that winged light are imprints of the child/children of light
celest turtle
Why there is no shadows for wings ?
uncut pier
No i get it but i cant stop thinking about staues being sky kids

That’s a game mechanic
They couldn’t get the shadows to work properly so they scrapped them

@uncut pier I don't think so
cold steppe
It’s... fun to try to figure out
normal berry
it's our final fooooooorm
cold steppe
It’s difficult to determine if it’s the child of light or the children of light. The devs have used both
If it’s a singular child of light, some believe that’s the king and/or the Eden elder
normal berry
and if multiple, it could be a part of us?
cold steppe
Yeah. There’s a reincarnation theory too
As in we are the reincarnations of the child/children of light and/or the king and/or Eden elder

Its probably not related, but a really long time ago someone in the sky community had made concept art for season of royalty or something? Onr of the hairstyles in beware the prophecy reminded me of it. Im not saying thats the next season i mostly just found it interesting. Im going back to look for it right now

we are the 5 missing spirit idk
short owl
It doesn't make sense for Daelth to have been left with a broken mask for long. Daleth is the first elder anyone sees. Why would a king want someone whose face they destroyed greeting newcomers?
Perhaps the face breaking was caused later on, when Daleth tried to stop the crystal rather than seal it
hushed steeple
I have a crackpot theory that each realm is the same realm just at a different time
So that would make each realm a different civilization residing on the same plane

Hi folks, what's up?

Jay where's your list
sly kestrel
Uhhhh
cold steppe
wait I found it
sly kestrel
Here’s all the current theories about the narrator so far
The king
The prince
Brick
The child of light
The megabird
A spirit who supported the elders and wanted them back home
You
The vault elder
Oreo
And the isle elder
cold steppe
Brick and Oreo are technically jokes thrown in there
but anything is possible in Sky lore

I brightened the new teaser image to see if we missed anything.
I can see a little ball attached to the thing on the middle spirits back.
fallen epoch
Hey, I just realized that this may not be a vault area. There is natural terrain
But I haven't spent anytime looking at it, so
digital willow
This might be at the top of the vault though you never know.
fallen epoch
The terrain in this picture does not match it
Because it ends with a little hill
Not more of this valley shape
short owl
Tbh though, I am expecting forest. Dailies and candles seem to cycle through the realms in order. Events might too.
mellow drift
Anything is possible, it could be a new type of area in vault
digital willow
One of the spirits has a weird shadow.
The one on the left of the middle one has an odd shadow attached to it.
fallen epoch
Isle of Dawn? XD
short owl
Ok so... Who thinks the dark framing could be more than framing?
Maybe the spirits are walking out of a darkness we will have to investigate, having lost two along the way. Those two we will have to seek while lighting the area and revealing the prophecy that ends in very bad news... For us
digital willow
Also the masks are from old concept art.
fallen epoch
Actually, the dark framing could be emergence from somewhere
Man, I want those masks
BADLY
digital willow
The spirits are wearing them.
fallen epoch
Hey, do we have anything outside of the kingdom of Sky?
I mean
could be random travellers if there is anything beyond
digital willow
Probably not but i don't know.
short owl
OH YEAH I FORGOT LEAVING SKY WAS SPOILER VAULTED
fallen epoch
I mean, they are weaird masks and capes right?
heady glade
hmmmm it could be the isle of dawn going on to daylight prairie tho
even tho the light's too bright in the map
short owl
What if this is the first peak we get of the world beyond our little island?
heady glade
hmmmm they could be
fallen epoch
I never thought about how they didn't build the world outside of Sky at all
coarse bolt
Ok, so we were having a discussion about why they collected butterflies in pots in #general-sky-discussion, and we decided they did it to collect the butterfly dust to make the boats fly (like fairy dust ).
fallen epoch
But then again, I am new here
sly kestrel
That’s new
short owl
If all you want is the dust, wouldn't a butterfly habitat be more efficient? Or maybr several fields that you rotate butterflies through?
lethal stump
In the concepts, creatures of light were collected so their light could be infused with power diamonds for energy
To keep it family friendly I shall simply say it was not a pretty process
short owl
... Yeah I was horrified when I saw the concept
coarse bolt
Who's to say the pots aren't a buttefly habitat? 
💎

Oh.

can someone pass me that concept

I would like to see the concept plz

Well, I guess that means, in a way, they used butterfly dust to make the boats fly.

||butterflies and mantas would be crushed into a pulp to extract their light||

cool

Noice! 😄

Hey, does everyone here eat a bowl of Krill'Os everyday? I know I do!

||butterflies and mantas would be crushed into a pulp to extract their light||
@lethal stump
||butterfly dust||
sly kestrel
Mantas idk but based on all of my experience with the theory and all the evidence I got, mantas weren’t used
But
It’s possible
cold steppe
Definitely butterflies at the very least
lethal stump
in the concept art i saw there was bones in the sludge
short owl
Link for the brave. Beware. #lore-discussion-spoilers message

aye
orchid crypt
this whole talk of ||butterfly dust||, how they're made of light and the fact that (winged) light lets us fly now makes me wonder if they were used like pixie dust from peter pan 
cold steppe
thanks
sly kestrel
That was back then batteries were a thing but the idea changed later afterwards
short owl
P sure there is a better one though
steel wigeon
I love how I started this discussion by asking people would they lick sky butterflies
Amazing
coarse bolt
Lol.
sly kestrel
Darkstone was later put in game and there was no factory, simply mining for the stone and this was the forbidden power that caused the destruction of everything
Now we have power diamonds
Something that’s still debated today......I also have an essay on it 😬
coarse bolt
So they started by smacking butterflies ||to pulp|| for their pixie dust, then started mining for darkstone?
lethal stump
this is a more recent concept
sly kestrel
Ye
frail hearth
it all makes sense now
mellow drift
It looks like the thing in the forest temple
coarse bolt
Indeed.
lethal stump
darkstone + light = power diamond
the pulping and the mining were simultaneous
yes, because it is
mellow drift
Fgcgbvjjbhjb
short owl
Cause disturb: ||where is the one that shows a manta get juiced?||
coarse bolt
I see. So darkstones were just containers for light.
sly kestrel
Here’s where this whole idea started
Pots with butterflies were one of the main ingredients put inside the diamond press, the second ingredient is still debated but let’s focus on the pots
These pots were found to have butterflies in them and collected for this purpose so we all assumed that they were used for the energy
And they....didn’t last when this process happened
fallen epoch
I have no idea what we are talking about
sacred rapids
earlier this morning some people where talking about the crying light miner and their story
I cought a bit and the question of what these where poped up and I think that these stacks are stacks light like the name "light miner" might imply
fallen epoch
I'm scared
sly kestrel
Those are graves
coarse bolt
I'm surprised the butterflies in the jars are still alive.
sly kestrel
For her friends th at died
lethal stump
Not really
sacred rapids
I thought the graves where at the back of the cave
sly kestrel
Her 2 friends got crushed from the rocks and the other one....is still being theorized but he died too
lethal stump
Light is seen in game to have physical manifestations
sly kestrel
She moved them later to the back
fallen epoch
Well, it like it could be physical. It makes mantas and crap right? plus there are light miners.
Couldn't that be from the elders though?
coarse bolt
Do boats fly with power diamonds?
grim python
Krill can kill them though so
sly kestrel
Yes but u don’t touch them
coarse bolt
Oh, I get it. They killed all the creatures of light for light, and all that was left was darkness.
mossy bay
Water reacts to the manta coming out and back into the ocean In Sanctuary
sly kestrel
Not confirmed but that’s a possibility
orchid crypt
what's even weirder about the mantas is that the ones in prairie village actually fly right through some parts of the island
sly kestrel
Wasteland used to have a rich amount of butterflies and manta
grim python
In the game or in the lore?
sly kestrel
In the lore
sly kestrel
In the cave paintings it showed proof that life was rich and full of them at wasteland
cold steppe
Or the krill
lethal stump
They aren’t extinct, we see butterflies and mantas elsewhere
coarse bolt
I see.
fallen epoch
Hey, what is the red crystal inside eden?
lethal stump
Most people believe it to be a large power diamond
grim python
a huge power diamond they tried to put on the beam of light
fallen epoch
What is the beam then?
coarse bolt
But they get progressively less as the levels progress (not including isle and vault)
sly kestrel
What do you think about it
A large power diamond is used for tech and power and u see a huge one at eden
What do you think it was used for 🤔
grim python
it didn’t go so well as you might pick up from the subtle hints, for example: everything
grim python
moths
lethal stump
The point of lore chat is to think up your own answers
coarse bolt
Oh, to make moths?
fallen epoch
This is my first time very even noticing this chat
grim python
Last night it was 2 minute slowmode 
cold steppe
Ok crazy theory coming up
sly kestrel
Technically there is no canon ideas about the stuff we are talking about (yet)
We supposed to create our answers and this chat is simply to discuss theories, not try to figure out this “hidden story”
coarse bolt
So moths were made by the ancient civilization.
sly kestrel
No
fallen epoch
Oh, Eden was just used to power everything then?
fallen epoch
@coarse bolt Save the moth talk for Hollow Knight, there is one true moth there
sly kestrel
Chioni, moths are jus a silly nickname for new players with terrible flight and brown capes
grim python
I feel like the fact that skykid’s souls are the same as spirts mean something
coarse bolt
Sorry.
fallen epoch
Don't be
sly kestrel
That’s why this sicker is called moth
cold steppe
So miles’ comment about the power diamond being put on the light made me think of something. What if they were creating the power diamonds to power things like boats and doors and such to prepare for the ultimate power diamond in Eden that would be used to power a boat or some other vehicle to fly themselves back to orbit
Idek if that makes sense though
silent hare
i think eden is a power diamond that went...
badly, to say the least
fallen epoch
What is there in orbit that they needed/
coarse bolt
Oh~ Spaceship~
cold steppe
The elders most likely fell from orbit
sly kestrel
U guys reacted to it before u could even read the whole thing
cold steppe
So they want to go home
fallen epoch
Hey, I have a WIP theory on the "Beware The Prophecy"
grim python
I wonder, does earth exist in the sky universe? In the credits we see multiple planets as we zoom out, what’s on them??
cold steppe
Oh yeah I forgot to include the ending
coarse bolt
What did they want from ||orbit|| though? ||To be reborn?||
grim python
you don’t have to spoiler here
silent hare
my smart lil friend said 'knowledge, prophecy, it probably is in the vault' so!!
cold steppe
Either megabird destroyed the diamond themself to prevent the elders from returning or it exploded because there was too much power
coarse bolt
Oh. Ok.
lethal stump
As wren said, the elders probably lived in orbit so they wanted to go back home
silent hare
and they tried to go home through making a big power diamond
cold steppe
The power diamond theory to power the world of Sky (that went wrong) makes more sense in the entire lore we have than what I just posted here. Just thought it would be fun to think about
grim python
I think the power diamond exploded from too much power tbh, it was probably just a massive amount of power and they weren’t advanced enough to handle it
coarse bolt
Why would megabird want to prevent the elders from returning from orbit, though?
fallen epoch
Well, the kingdom of Sky is kind of small, right? And nothing about the outside of Sky has been built storywise. Looking at these 5 spirit's outfits, they look unfamiliar to the kingdom, right? they could be from outside the kingdom of sky. Considering this, if you look at the photo, you can see a similarity of the landscape of entering the prairie from the isle, right? they could be entering Sky, and thus some crap about a prophecy of their arrival. Then again, I'm an idiot, so
lethal stump
Why would megabird want to prevent the elders from returning from orbit, though?
depending on who you ask, megabird was the one who made the elders fall
grim python
Open world Sky 2 we need it
silent hare
thats pretty smart :o
cold steppe
They were kicked out, possibly for a good reason, and the fact that they didn’t wait to atone or whatever megabird may have wanted (for example, the phrase “they didn’t listen” could tie to this) and instead tried to come back on their own made megabird sad
coarse bolt
Maybe the Elders were already dead or close to dying, so they went to orbit to try to be reborn so they could live forever.
lethal stump
here’s my theory on the fall:

I kind of wonder, what did the spirits look like when they were alive? Are the spirits even aware, or are they just memories?
sly kestrel
Someone had a theory that they fell on purpose and that’s why “darkness came” and the intro was wrong
It also states that they left their home to thrive on the ground where they can rule over people and their knowledge of light and life from their original home is what gave them the idea of power diamonds and how to basically create artificial light.

fallow estuary
So this is the wrong chat?
lethal stump
yes, this chat is for lore discussion. If you just want to speculate about the new season, do it in #seasons-events-chat
In regards to the new season teaser:
- we don't know when this takes place
- we don't know where this takes place
- we don't know the prophecy and why we should be beware
- we don’t know the season name
- we don’t know the season pendant
- lore chat is for lore, #seasons-events-chat is for hype & questions
enjoy theorising

they have 2 years worth of content planned rn
hushed steeple
What if when megabird created the elders they were originally supposed to have wings to fly with megabird and the mantas but something went wrong and they ended up falling from the sky and created a whole new civilization. The part where it says “if only they had listen” might tie into the fact that megabird offered to give them a ability to fly with flames but they used the flames for something else like making power diamonds and such
short owl
Oh did we step into unreliable narrator territory for a moment?!

Yo I feel like there may be some lore in this area, at the second valley area. I’ve never seen any TS or any other information on these little rooms. Maybe they were hideouts BUT my main concern is the fact you need two people to open the first door

Those were for past seasons
sick bison
Ah I thought so-
But why do they have em still there/nothing in em?
i think I’m just being dumb idk
eternal hearth
It might be for a different reason but I believe It’s because of the ts

It was the jumping spirit once

Theories on Sky’s tweet today? 👀✨
short owl
If you're talking about beware, we have several. You will need to pick an aspect of it. We have theories about the prophecy, the spirits identities, the environment...
Possibility 1: this is a stage group. 5 are actors, 2 are stage hands. We see the actors.
Possibility 2: one per area that isn't Isle or Eden
Possibility 3: elders
Possibility 4: something about this season is different
Possibility 5: something happened to the other two.
Possibility 6: to drive the theorists nuts and there is nothing to it. Just looks good on the poster.
Then a bunch I missed cause I decided to sneep snorp

Someone (brick) thought they saw the king in the poster. I do not see it.

i’ve always really wanted to know what this island was and why it would put sky kids over there when they return home
livid valley
Does it? When my friend return home it Dosent show up like that
steel trellis
it very lowkey looks like home, with the biggest structure being the eden gate
tho maybe that’s just the angle of the pic
probably, still, it’s a bit weird that it’s so visible, the meditation ring i mean
i remember was always curious what it was untill i saw a vid of two players who managed to teleport there and it turned out to be a meditation spot
like surely there’s space to put it smwhere where it won’t be that noticeable so why here??
livid valley
Oh Can you DM the link to me?
lethal stump
That used to be accessible in pre-launch

idk if i’ll be able to find the vid rn, but i’ll try

I'm with a Theory about that prophecy thing
And I think I should talk here instead of seasonal chat
I think that thing will not be a season
I think will be a new area

So we don't go to that place after the last cutsce
The final connection
tender trail
I think will be a new area
Between vault and Eden
@thorny siren
I like that theory much more than the "new ending to the game" one, although according to some other users, the image name appears to reference an eighth adventure pass
boreal nebula
But I'm pretty sure there is no moon while ascending to reach Orbit 
which IMHO it would be more bothering than the absence of Eden's Beacon when we are at the Citadel/Oreri (or however it is written)
lethal stump
There is a moon, in eden and in orbit

it would be very nice to spotting a giant moon view from stratosphere

Except the Prince, maybe
lethal stump
If the prince design remained as it was in the concepts
sly kestrel
Wasteland elder doesn’t rlly have a cape it’s mainly jus a cloak
thin dirge
In the concept the Prince flies with you. If it stayed the same as that...
dull fox
I was just curious. Because I thought it’d be cool if one of the constellation rewards was a cape but then I remembered nobody has capes
delicate coral
Quick note about capes, not sure if it’s significant, but usually spirits don’t have stars on the back of their capes like skykids do (since they can’t fly) like this:
But the second spirit in the promo seems to have a very very small star on their cape just above the blue soul thing
Barely even visible but perhaps it’s worth noting
tender trail
I know someone made an image of that cape where it is red, but it looks distinctly white or light gray to me
thin dirge
The star could just be a design on the cape
Also, it was mentioned the cape looks distinctly like the King's lower body/cape? Maybe they had stars on their cape
delicate coral
I wouldn’t go so far as to say ‘distinctly’
The closest comparison I can see is the squared off shoulders but I don’t think that necessarily has to be something limited to the king
maybe some kind of royal uniform or dress code for his advisors? But I would also tend to think that the elders are his advisors
hushed steeple
hey chat what are we discussing this hour of this particular day
delicate coral
The second promo spirit seems to have a star on his cape, which, to my knowledge, is not present on any other spirits with capes
So we’re discussing what that could be
tender trail
Also, one thing to consider is that this is a piece of art and not in-game models, and this may not perfectly reflect the final designs

Seems like a render to me though

there is only one, and you would find it on a full CR (not counting eden)

I agree that we can’t really gather much from the spirits in the poster at this stage
However I do think that the fact there is a prophecy is important
That’s where I think this little reveal is important for how we piece together our lore knowledge

in regards to this being a season or not:
the teaser image is for the next season. each season teaser image in the channel would have ap(number) in their image link. the new teaser image has ap08 (stands for adventure pass) in its link. check the other season teaser images. they'll have ap07, ap06, etc in their links.
