hello new people peeking, we're still talking lore so try not to make it #general-sky-discussion here 
or else we get beaned

Did someone write out the whole story of how ark came to be
wind arch
It's there in the murals
uncut pier
Ik but i meant like here
tender dune
@granpa sadly i wasnt here when people were talking about droppings but im not sure if it was the dev who said droppings or if its was someone who wanted to change the name from poop to droppings
inner comet
okay i think the prince may be the kings child??? Or maybe the king would be more of a guardian since i doubt elders have parents
hushed steeple
tender dune
we did moon, some theories differ about the story but its still similar in a way
wind arch
I'm not sure where I got that actually

I cannot find the message, but the gem holder things that spilled off shipwreck are a good candidate

if ur gonna talk about season stuff then #seasons-events-chat or #general-sky-discussion , we try to keep it lore here

Season revealed the existence of shells

@primal verge kjin said sanc season shouldn't be 100% taken as lore related it was more as change of pace since corona stuff. And he said not everything in seasonal should actually be taken 100% into lore
primal verge
@tender dune i was just asking 
wind arch
It does Introduce some windpanes which might have megan designs on them
Season revealed the existence of shells
we need to name the shells

tribal pecan
I just had an Idea, so basically, we were reading this short story "window-theater" by Ilse Aichinger and basically, there light symbolizes connection, and so I thought, maybe it's the same for sky that darkness is not like "evil" but more like "lonely" there was a concept art about that too, but I cannot find it
if you want to read the story: https://vdocuments.site/aichinger.html
here's the concept art i was talking about
since sky is a game about connection, it could be that the elders are kinda dark because they are lonely and cannot see the other elders enough or something, which would work with us bringing light to them. Maybe we also carry messages from the other elders with it
or something idk
short owl
This does make some sense. Another thing that could have happened was the elders losing contact with the ancestors around them once the storm got bad, causing their once bright social life to fall apart
tribal pecan
literature class is useful for something
short owl
What's up with crabs though? They are in large groups but still crabby dark.
Indeed, the happiest ones are in pairs away from other crabs
hushed steeple
maybe crabs are just really territorial
tribal pecan
idk, I didn't really think to much about it 
it really only applies to the elders and maybe sky kids, as I said, it was a thought that came up in literature class, I was bored and supposed to be focusing on something else
short owl
I have a maybe answer if you want it.
I know that sometimes it's possible to be lonely in a crowd if what you want is a closer connection, since crowds lead to a lot of weak connections or things getting overlooked.
tribal pecan
that does make sense,
quaint flint
I think the crabs are very territorial after all there is only so much deep dark water to hide in. But the one crab in the beginning of wasteland, first mold to burn is really angry
hushed steeple
Wait a second guys.. that sky bot saying something interesting
hushed steeple
Imagine what would king say if someone asks him if he want to build another big powered diamond ...
Also
Skybot is the king
quaint flint
I think the new season will give us more story
I want to know what you think came first in sky
keen onyx
So is the new season actually going to be darker? I haven’t caught up
quaint flint
It looks like isle to me
The beginnings
I asked in feedback for underground tunnels and wall paintings dwelling places and to connect those tunnels to other lands
I asked for it to start in isle it looks so much like my wish
Not that it is, but I’m hoping for more early days cosmetics and story background
And hopefully darker
The storm
I want to know what you guys think came first in sky
What do you think caused the war
tribal pecan
if we could actually hear the prophecy, that'd be great
quaint flint
Yes I agree
frail hearth
Not that it is, but I’m hoping for more early days cosmetics and story background
some of the masks that the spirits wear look like old concept art
tribal pecan
I hope it will be in Isle of dawn, that place really needs more stuff
frail hearth
yep
quaint flint
I noticed the spirit in the last part of wasteland the spirit you chase up the bell tower blows a horn warning of an invasion
frail hearth
maybe an expansion? i understand it's the "tutorial" level, and adding more things will probably confuse new players
quaint flint
No really the game has to progress not hold back there will always be new players
tribal pecan
then the new players would have to finish all the realms once, and could then accses it or something
quaint flint
We had one seasonal spirit there in the tunnel
Yes
They have plenty of time as the seasons take so long
boreal nebula
So the light in your chest goes out when you hold out a candle
@blazing terrace I noticed that too a couple of days ago . Also take a look when the ski kid turns off yhe candle, by putting it back in the chest with the left hand
blazing terrace
short owl
If light is connection and we are completely out when we hug the shiny kid... Maybe that means shiny boi is surprised that we still seek and offer connection with them, even when everything is ripped away painfully in the name of giving to others.
tribal pecan
that sounds pretty viable, and he also offers connection annew and fuses with us, the most deep connection
short owl
We are dark and alone. From their perspective we should be cranky, craby, angry, or cold. But we're not. We just see a friend in need of a hand and a hug.
tribal pecan
And that's also exactly what we need... a little help and a friend... maybe it's like in these fairytales, where they like have to face off against an oponent and it turns out to be them because sorcery, dramatic irony or moral or some narrative test... just less swords and more hugs
short owl
I can make it worse
The reason this light is so strong when surrounded by darkness, the reason it remains, and the reason it caries us through to Orbit when all other lights were weaker are the same reason
This is a part of Aleph that wants to be forgotten and thinks it deserves to be.
It's not a bad part, by any means, it just happens to be the part that feels the guilt of hurting those he cares about. Those last four words just don't go away, no matter how bad things get, so even though this part is separated, it remains lit.
tribal pecan
I don't really get the prince narrative, but it sounds pretty good
maybe Megan arranged a "test" like, "if these 6 year olds won't help others when in need, how are they supposed to save the world"
"only by helping others will they be able to help themselves... muhaha"
red vortex
i dont know what the narrative is or means
tribal pecan
the prince?
tribal pecan
he's either a reincarnation of the King, the King, locked in forevercombat with the King, Megans prophet, Megans worst enemy, our worst enemy, we may be fragments of him, or maybe he's dead
short owl
Hmm... Brick usually does the best explinations
tribal pecan
i'm bad at explaining
tribal pecan
if there are any other prince things, i'm sorry
short owl
Ah yes, all that. Those are different theories
We have verry little information about the prince beyond concepts
tribal pecan
it's kinda a mess
short owl
We know that in one concept, we had to save the prince by (delivering light to the base of the king?)
red vortex
cool theory
short owl
The prince and king may or may not be seperate people. There may be a little prince in the big king head.
It's all vague
red vortex
i saw tghe concept art
tribal pecan
may i point out how contradictory the prince narratives are
red vortex
sure
normal berry
do elaborate
red vortex
dam ur name awesome
normal berry
me? 😳
red vortex
yes, who else
normal berry
idk
short owl
@tribal pecan oh please do. If there is something interesting there, I want it
normal berry
"Ri consumes Euphausiacea during the morning regimen known as breakfast"
tribal pecan
do elaborate
@normal berry I mean, sometimes Megan likes him, sometimes she hates him
sometimes he is the King, sometimes they hate eachother
sometimes we are the prince, sometimes he is the "enemy"
sometimes he provoked the fall, sometimes the King (he may be) provoked the fall, and sometimes it's a collective effort by the elders
and then maybe he's the eden elder, so he's dead
normal berry
oh that's kinda how sky lore be
also in any of those instances its assumed that the king is the eden elder i think
there was never another instance of an eden elder to make the king a separate entity
short owl
We don't have a lot of solid information, so we just kinda run with whatever we have. Without more hints (and we hope the prophecy will provide), it's hard to nail down any actual details
tribal pecan
yes, but can we maybe make different names for the different aspects of the prince?
like lucifer as the one where he provokes the fall
Alef when we are fragments of him
Riun, was it? when he's the king
hushed steeple
Sky lore is kinda like a lot of religions in the real world. We don’t have science or archaeology at our disposal, just some murals and musings, and everyone has a slightly different belief of what happened
short owl
Resh, but not a bad name for that
tribal pecan
Resh, but not a bad name for that
@short owl right, thanks\
hushed steeple
Riun, was it? when he's the king
@tribal pecan
Rian means ‘little king’. No idea what you’ll do with this info but there you go
tribal pecan
thank you
I just would like to be able to know which aspect of the prince we talk about at a time
short owl
A trouble with naming schemes like this though is that suddenly I get Lucifer-Aleph-Resh, and using all three would be a lot to type and confusing
normal berry
I go by the king = prince theory so I use them interchangeably which confuses everyone and myself
tribal pecan
then maybe we number him or something and then you can say, like "in prince 1 through 3 and 5, megan hates the prince" or something idk
short owl
... If we try that, I am purposely starting a small "book" of Prince theories so that each number corresponds to a chapter
It will simultaniously be more and less confusing!
short owl
Erm...
Maybe wait for the cannon lore doc to be ready
We have documents in the works to address this type of issue
hushed steeple
Ok so
hushed steeple
Lore question, why do children of L have capes?
tribal pecan
to fly, and to carry winglight
hushed steeple
@short owl ping my name
No but why do they have it, are they worthy of it or something
short owl
Possibility 1: capes let us fly and hold our wl.
Nonmutually exclusive possibility 2: because the prince did, and the lights are memories of him
hushed steeple
Huh
short owl
We have a task, we need the tools to complete it
hushed steeple
You guys did look on the rock drawings too for more information right?
short owl
A while ago, why?
hushed steeple
Ok
Read the current seasonal ones too
The most interesting ones I found are at Isle of Dawn
tribal pecan
personal theory|| is that the capes hold the winglight, which is soul/blood/life force/agency/will/binding agent/ ripped away from the fallen in the Storm, coming back to call for help, that's also why they always stare towards eden||
hushed steeple
Best theory I've ever heard so far
short owl
Hey question: for those who have access to the other translations of the game (in house only), what kind of grammer surrounds the prompt of "return the light of the fallen"?
Is it singular or plural?
tribal pecan
Hey question: for those who have access to the other translations of the game (in house only), what kind of grammer surrounds the prompt of "return the light of the fallen"?
@short owl going to ask my friend
she has it in german...
short owl
In english, 'the fallen' can be singular
@tribal pecan make sure you ask in a way that clarifies if it's an inherent plurality/singularity, or a presumed one
tribal pecan
oh, that's like a given in german, you could have "der Gefallene, die Gefallene, oder das Gefallene" for singular and "die Gefallenen" for Plural
short owl
We do need to check if german is done in house though.. Hold on
Chinese and Japanese are done in hoise
Not sure about German
tribal pecan
where could I find out?
short owl
I'm... Not sure
orchid crypt
how did we find out about the chinese and japanese being done in-house?
though i guess if in doubt, we could wait for one of the devs to drop by to ask about the german translation
short owl
I was not a primary participant in that conversation, sorry
fringe yarrow
checked via a video and not my own game, but Japanese is plural!
the phrasing is 「失われし者たちに光を」, たち is a pluralizing suffix
orchid crypt
was that the message that pops up in stormlock?
hushed steeple
i am going to start a counter today to when the theory doc/wiki is unveiled.
Day number 1
no news on ETA of theory doc
tribal pecan
what is ETA?
wind bone
It’s because TGC has native Chinese and Japanese speakers
So those translations can be done by them

I would guess that's in reference to ||the filename?||

@hushed steeple I would appreciate if you didn’t, Lamb. It’s a big project, and the people working on it have lives outside of Sky. It will be done when it’s done, that is all we can tell you. Unlike Devs, this is not our job. Do not expect it to be done as if it is.
hushed steeple
ok, am i allowed to start my own project on this then?
lethal stump
I have no power to stop you, I’m no authority figure
hushed steeple
alright
lethal stump
dépends on your interpretation
hushed steeple
Take a look at this picture.
The symbol around the portal leading to the office looks like Megabird.
hushed steeple
I think the placement of this symbol around that gate indicates that the TGC devs are the gods of Sky. And I mean, they are. They made the game.
short owl
Tfw you can't make the joke because lore moff. Ah well. Yeah it makes sense... And I do believe we see developer names while zooming out on the megabird after Eden
cold steppe
short owl
Hey you know that circle thing we do when we gain flaps?
We don't do that when we grab Orbit lights
We Only do that when collecting in the world or when ded
We also don't do that durring races though... Hmm
Could be gameplay, but maybe the memories in the races themselves were memories where Aleph wasn't acting as a leader or trying to be a king/prince
Valley does seem like a nice place for an elder who wants a break from actual leadership
static spoke
The Twins
short owl
are exactly why it's easy to get away with not being a leader in Valley. Lamed probably helped get Valley set up to mostly run itself early on because the twins can't sit still for long enough to actually run it
inner comet
wait why are the valley elders considered as one??
Are they like a fusion or something
lethal stump
i know in a very very very early concept, the valley elder was a single person
Far right, « Samekh »
inner comet
damn they kinda give off air nomad vibes
short owl
uuuuuuh anyone else broken by elder sized Alef?
lethal stump
It’s cursed, i know
inner comet
Isnt he the shortest
lethal stump
in more recent concepts yes
this is the only tall alef I’ve found in the concepts thus far
inner comet
Its either lamed or alef that are the shortest im not sure
lethal stump
alef, he’s skid size
inner comet
Bruh it wont let me send anything?-
lethal stump
need this ?
short owl
Oh thank goodness, normal sized Aleph. Also... Lamed go shwoop
inner comet
Lamed's old concepts kinda remind me of an old witch you'd see in thoes disney movies
trim vale
She's a small grandma
inner comet
A cute one too
lethal stump
she looks like you’d come across her hovel in the forest and she would bonk you with her staff whenever she had the chance
inner comet
Funny how shes the size of a sky kid and alef is a giant but now its the complete opposite
Not really lamed is still short
lethal stump
she’s the shortest elder alongside teth
lethal stump
teth and lamed are around the same height in the cutscene where they are all together
short owl
Tbh, smol Lamed looks like they'd make oppportunities to bonk you with the staff
lethal stump
here’s my skid compared to the two
short owl
Samekh are also short as elders
inner comet
hm,, lamed seems slightly taller than teth a little
Maybe its the crowns(?) That make them look taller
thin dirge
But taller than Teth it seems
hushed steeple
Teth and Lamed are related, aren’t they?
lethal stump
their masks are
inner comet
Nope
lethal stump
not the elders themselves
thin dirge
Oh
hushed steeple
Okay, thanks for the clarification 😂

This has probably been discussed before, but could someone point me in the right direction?
Who was the ruined temple built for? The statues outside remind me of Valley, but the whole ruined structure inside and the crystals remind me of Forest.
Also there is a weird black crystal floating above the altar. Looks like something from a cutscene? But there are no cutscenes in this location 👀
hushed steeple
didnt seraph say something about posting artwork that were not created by you even if credit is given?
still
short owl
Many times in the completed fanart and sketches chat
normal berry
oh you said with credit
peak ore
it sounds more like an ad than something that belongs to this channel tbh
normal berry
If that was official I would have screamed at the top of my lungs
hushed steeple
let talk about why the home spawn plate recharge light, where none of the other ones do
peak ore
for gameplay reasons ig
normal berry
imo home is an area created (maybe by who sent us) specifically to benefit us in our mission, so it would make sense that we had are own little charging station lol
normal berry
oh?
normal berry
wh-
fossil oxide
it turns out
hushed steeple
well, if it is indeed an unique charging station why use the same spawn plate design, does the devs intentionally do this to induce ambiguity?
hushed steeple
oh
fossil oxide
and the moss in snctuary
normal berry
the look like dandelions 
fossil oxide
I know
hushed steeple
they dont have roots
fossil oxide
?
hushed steeple
it is like some sort of spirit essence floating above the terrain
fossil oxide
right
hushed steeple
maybe i am blind i dont know
fossil oxide
but they are flowers
normal berry
so i believe home was created shortly before we were, all the other stone plates never had such purpose because we did not exist at the time, no other creature had such biology as ours so there was never a need for a stone plate that provides light
fossil oxide
and they have these little stems
normal berry
the are floaty flowers
short owl
Ok so... this is more mechanics than anything, but when you summon someone from the void for a wingless run, that is where they beep from
soooo... maybe that is a charge point because it's where the memory that makes us comes from
hushed steeple
so i believe home was created shortly before we were, all the other stone plates never had such purpose because we did not exist at the time, no other creature had such biology as ours so there was never a need for a stone plate that provides light
it just seems so strange to me at least that a device that shares no common functionality shares the same design, unless all the other plates have their own powers and abilities we have not unraveled, or the others have been damaged/defunct
fossil oxide
normal berry
i mean sky has a unique ecology so it doesn't seem too far off to have a flower/plant that doesn't require roots
hushed steeple
well when someone is in the void their character appears to spawns at the plate for any observers even though the player is in the void, so maybe the call originate from this fictitious character that never got destroyed?
the context is home
normal berry
well bear in mind spirits were probably more like humans, they eat, so if they do not require light then why make plates that restore it?
also they had power diamonds, too
short owl
I mean... sure, ancestors may not have consumed light, but the elders might
Having a well charged elder is probably quite helpful
normal berry
then wouldn't there be a charging thing near their shrine?
fossil oxide
what plates?
fossil oxide
the one with the constellation?
fossil oxide
pic plz
short owl
They may have one near their shrine, but they may also have some in other places
fossil oxide
pic....
normal berry
actually
hang on
while there is one near vault elder's shrine, there is none in prairies
I think there is one in isle
hushed steeple
noooo
normal berry
idk, it seems too inconsistent
hushed steeple
my theory is ruined and my disappointment is immeasurable
normal berry
: (
hushed steeple
anyone want to hear it anyways
normal berry
i do!
fossil oxide
yup
short owl
If we ignored theories that could easily be disproven, I would have beenn kicked out long ago. UNLEASH THE THEORY!
hushed steeple
what if the spawn plates only recharges beings that are apart of its constellations, i am personifying the plates here but i actually mean like the ancestor spirits constructed/imbued the spawn plates with energy that would only resonate with spirits in their constellation. so hence we can not recharge power or be granted certain abilities(looking up to the other constellation and our own, and projecting friends into our space) on spawn plates that are not of our own constellation, the wing. So it would make sense that we are given some portion of the ability when we meditate in the shrine of the elders, in that we now share the connection to them and in turn their constellations, thus we are able to look up into only their constellation at the end.
fossil oxide
hmmmmmm
short owl
I hear you and think that is an interesting thought.
normal berry
*nyooms to isle temple
short owl
It's important to remember that we don't see all of any area, so you can't rule out the possibility of additional light plates existing that we never see.
hushed steeple
yeah
short owl
Perhaps some elders have their circular stone thingies somewhere other than their shrine, simply because that's more convienient for them, or because it provides them with an excuse to go somewhere often
fossil oxide
guuuuuuuuys
hushed steeple
i am making the assumption here that all plates in a realm will not resonate at all
fossil oxide
can anyone hear me?
normal berry
if what you're saying is true then it would also imply that we are a similar species to elder
s
hushed steeple
this is because our connection to the constellation diminished rapidly the further away from the elders shrime
fossil oxide
fossil oxide
oh thank god
normal berry
yes, we can hear you
hushed steeple
its energy diminishes by r^3
fossil oxide
how they fight
hushed steeple
like magnetism
hushed steeple
we might be related to the king if what i am saying is accurate
fossil oxide
but weirdly no swords
fossil oxide
😦
oh right
but they weren't for fighting
im not saying the sword wasn't invented
hushed steeple
it leads me to believe there was a battle between valley and wasteland that turned golden wasteland into its current state, hence valley of triumph
fossil oxide
it was rarely use in warfare
hushed steeple
maybe valley had more advanced tech
hushed steeple
likely given the amphitheater setting in valley
fossil oxide
it is my theory that armies in sky used phalanx formations...
shield wall and spears
that would make swords too short and expensive
hushed steeple
interestingly there are no bows
fossil oxide
yup
ill get there too
bows are wooden
with sinews for the string
if there were any they would be rotten and gone
and where do u get sinews from in sky?
spirits don't hunt..
and since there are phalanx formations,
battle would be greek
hushed steeple
cool theory i dont know much about military and weaponry so i cant really validate any details
lethal stump
spirits don't hunt..
there is a spirit who is called « Dismayed Hunter ». it’s confirmed they hunt
trim vale
I sometimes imagine the spirits use the fireworks staff as a projectile weapon
lone hull
Tell the truth catseye
moonbears#6681fbvfxb
lethal stump
We can actually see spirits using the staffs for their purpose in the Laughing Light Catcher cutscene ! It’s used to collect balls of light
hushed steeple
@fossil oxide I love your phalanx theory, however I do have to say that in that kind of battle there were typically very low casualties. Any death was a huge deal, so as soon as the first person was killed, everyone else typically scattered. That doesn’t seem to be the case in Battlefield, but either way I’m heading there now to check it out~
fossil oxide
I know
I read a Wikipedia page on it
I was going more for the Persian war
kinda thing
wars of attrition
and frequent battles
with phalanxes
but u see
we`ve got artillery
fire works
and the krill would obviously be weaponized
some battles could be like roman ones too
the general society we see after hidden forest
is like a roman
society
we got races and stadiums
which have militaristic themes
then we have real battles
in gw
anyone there?
tribal pecan
Idk, I wouldn't say the valley blades were swords,to me they look more like pretty clubs, or something like the sky equivalent of Hockey sticks
fossil oxide
I know
it doesn't really matter what the blades r
its ceremonial
the look like blades
tribal pecan
either that or for sports
tribal pecan
it think they aren't sharp
fossil oxide
maybe sacrifice...
normal berry
a paddle?
fossil oxide
that's the point of ceremoinial stuff
they don't do what theyre supposed to do
any ways do u guys think the light creatures were involved in the wasteland battles?
tribal pecan
but we do see in lameds picture of the valley, that there is like a contest that the Valley Blades are used for
normal berry
looks like a cricket bat
normal berry
cause they sports
normal berry
also is it me or did our name tags become yellow-er?
tribal pecan
I mean the valley elders do use them like cricket bats
fossil oxide
they do
normal berry
i'm pretty sure they are bats of some sort
normal berry
It would make sense if the elders of a very sports/competition centered realm to have sporting equipment
the krill bles the forts
or a floating boat
fossil oxide
or the fireworks
normal berry
a really big floating boat
fossil oxide
nah
normal berry
or fireworks yeah
fossil oxide
remember
these battles are like greek battles
almost identical
probably ships were used to fire stuff
and ram other ships...
but the latter is unlikely
given the shape
so the ships were floating firing platforms for firework users
like seriousely
the admiral
tribal pecan
back to battle
yes, In SA (books, don't ask) there are flying Warriors, and they fight with very different tactics than ground soldiers, instead of spears they use sharp long shardlances (like two people heights), and shardswords are never used in the air... also, battlements are ineffective against them
so it was probably a ground war in sky
tribal pecan
so the krill probably had no part in that war
tribal pecan
maybe they came later, to feast upon the misery
tribal pecan
maybe
short owl
We know the staff can hold and launch light
Maybe it's only fireworks in our hands because we don't know how to use it
tribal pecan
we see the Isle elder use it to command the birds
was it a general or squadleader or king thing maybe?
was it a general or squadleader or king thing maybe?
not the Resh king
topaz girder
we can see two staffs in prairie cave
in the place with lots of pots that can be accessed with one forest spirit
lethal stump
cause the staffs arent weapons
they’re like scythes, they’re agricultural tools
you use them to collect light and put it into pots
mortal viper
or as flares
topaz girder
short owl
I mean... if you have to go into battle, anything big enough and wieldable can be a weapon
topaz girder
oh have you guys noticed the twin ( not necessarily the elder ) sword in eden
lethal stump
yea
topaz girder
those looked more small and fitting for a spirit
hushed steeple
where?
lethal stump
wdym where
hushed steeple
the twin sword in eden
topaz girder
near the shields
lethal stump
it’s at the first WL
topaz girder
yep
hushed steeple
Valley Twin didn't used swords btw
gilded fossil
hushed steeple
oh i never noticed
topaz girder
also , when u go at the back of the first wl building , there's a pipe , it's stiff though
more useless info ! 🎉

fossil oxide
I think the krill were developed in the war to guard key strategical locations
and that's why the ark crashed
oh
and guys we need to give scientific names to the floaty plants and the rock moss
in sanctuary
kat could u make the names?
dandelion genus is Taraxacum
short owl
floaty mc float face
short owl
possibly food or sneeps or work
short owl
I don't really know scientific name stuff
I can give them descriptive yet odd programmer names though
fossil oxide
just think of a word to describe the stuff and run it throught the latin translator
in google
short owl
mossy_rock_1337
short owl
tho tbh... that would be an inividual instance so that wouldn't be a good one for something like this... most rocks like this would likely not have names in the code
in the db though...
fossil oxide
db?
short owl
Database
short owl
RockMosyForestLargeThree
fossil oxide
volitare
is latin for floating
plz null an adjective
for the floaty flowers
in praire
the moss has to wait...
short owl
Huh... that's an odd one to disapear. Maybe I misspelled a thing.
Grain Cilo Birds Nest One
lethal stump
what floating flowers ???
lethal stump
the dandelions ?
lone hull
Like the cricket
hushed steeple
I see catseye changed name
fossil oxide
should we just go with Taraxacum Volitare?
means floating dandelion
vote plz
guys
yup
thx guys
ill send it it to kars
ok now the moss
on the r ocks
lethal stump
it’s just
moss
fossil oxide
Hypnum
genus
sky is a different planet
its a different kinda moss
nothing is the same as real life
how about Hypnum Vulgaris
means ordinary moss
vote plz
guys...
I think the lore channel is dying
lethal stump
no, it gets like this often
fossil oxide
bricky plz vote
lethal stump
i have no interest in the current naming system
fossil oxide
oh...….
hushed steeple
edgy sequoia
back
fossil oxide
?
abstract crypt
for the dandelions
Big Flower
fossil oxide
ohhhhhhhh.
we already did that
but thanks
we already have a name
and we already used big flower
abstract crypt
I like that, big flower
fossil oxide
we already used iton another
flower
abstract crypt
Oh sorry, what's the name you used?
fossil oxide
we used
Taraxacum Volitare
for the dandelion
means floaty dandelion
cause it has no stem
abstract crypt
Why are flowers being named like that tho
edgy sequoia
How'd ypu guys even made up all these names?
wind arch
google translate
edgy sequoia
which language
hushed steeple
Biology
tribal pecan
the language is latin
it's the biologic naming system
though I would be interested in names for phyla... well
edgy sequoia
ohh
tribal pecan
maybe we could do a proper classification chart eventually
tribal pecan
like real biologie... problem is that we have very limited Data for that to go of... no reprodutive rates and if they use eggs or give birth to living creatuers (I am aware of the nest in the forest)...
what are the biotic life that doesn't have names yet?
@edgy sequoia I am sorry, I do not understand
They weren't really human
edgy sequoia
@edgy sequoia I am sorry, I do not understand
@tribal pecan Like creatures/plants that don't have scientific names yet?
tribal pecan
@tribal pecan Like creatures/plants that don't have scientific names yet?
@edgy sequoia I don't know... I am not to interested in that...
edgy sequoia
ohh
tribal pecan
but like, find something like... the baby mantas in sanctuary, ~~are they part of Manta metamorphosis or their own species, to little data, gwraaahh ~~
tribal pecan
i have no naming authority, ask @fossil oxide \
edgy sequoia
why do I keep on calling mantas manats
fossil oxide
ok
guys im gonna clear this up for u guys
we named most of the species in sky
all the plants and animals
baby mantas are actually quite a good idea
maybe the baby mantas aren't babies but small mantas
edgy sequoia
development stage I think
fossil oxide
no like a whole species
of pigmy mantas
lets vote
Myliobatis minima
and if this motion is passed lets stop calling them baby mantas
and start calling them pigmy mantas
because this motion`s passing would mean that the "baby mantas" are a whole different species of manta
and are not babies
sooooooooo
Myliobatis minima
vote ppl vote
hushed steeple
Hold up lemme research real baby mantas real quick to figure out if this is plausible or not
fossil oxide
oh wait
hushed steeple
Okay baby mantas live inside the mama mantas so the Pygmy mantas are more plausible
hushed steeple
Shh it’s always good to take reference from real ecology
Is this me or really our name color little changed
fossil oxide
they r just called mantas
hushed steeple
However important note: when baby mantas leave their mamas, they have no help from their mothers and just look like mini adults
Hmm
hushed steeple
Okie fair
edgy sequoia
4 ppl voted for yes wow
alpine geyser
What's the topic guys
fossil oxide
pigmy mantas are their own separate species!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hushed steeple
I’m not finding a lot but eagle rays seem to be similar to manta rays in life cycle, the only key difference being litter size (one or two for mantas, four for eagles)
fossil oxide
but they look different
and u r right cyptid
hey guys we missed the easter egg birds
edgy sequoia
oh right
fossil oxide
birds that will be born from the easter egg in forest
its called the eagl`s nest so lets go with the genus of eagles
or would u prefer
the great tinanmou
no really
signal cave
Me just lurking:
edgy sequoia
they look cute ngl
hushed steeple
I love them already
edgy sequoia
ooh
signal cave
wind arch
I thought the easter eggs were just that... easter eggs
hushed steeple
We’ve found decorates egg fragments that are about three million years old
hushed steeple
I’m not sure what bird they were from though
fossil oxide
great tinamou
edgy sequoia
also uh
fossil oxide
is what we think
edgy sequoia
anyone aver named the circ;e-winged butterfly fopund in Timid Bookworm's cutscene?
sorry if theres a lot of typos
hushed steeple
Side question: the reconstructed etymology of Easter is *Hausos, would that work for a species name? If not, Aurora and Easter have the same root
hushed steeple
That’s why I said Aurora but yes, that’s fair
hushed steeple
Especially since Easter is named after a Celtic goddess and not Passover 😂
fossil oxide
google seems to think its Pascha
hushed steeple
It is. English just named the holiday weird
fossil oxide
I am not a latin speaker
soooooo
Tinamus Pascha
vote plz
if anyone disagrees speak now or remain silent for a few hours
on this matter
hushed steeple
anyone aver named the circ;e-winged butterfly fopund in Timid Bookworm's cutscene?
@edgy sequoia
I don’t think so
hushed steeple
One day 😣
hushed steeple
Welp

tHE NAME SUITS THE SPECIES THOUGH
IMAGINE THE BIRDS WALKING AROUND THE FOREST

Omg its taking over my brain
hushed steeple
While we’re waiting, I went and looked into your phalanx theory, Pyre; and they were definitely using phalanx weapons, but the spread of artifacts makes it seem like the fighting style was much more rough and disorganize than a normal phalanx battle. Which means very little aside from “it was an important battle with important consequences”
edgy sequoia
srgjias sorry
hushed steeple
Oh and it looks like they used magic to wreck the structures, since the only other thing with that kind of power is whales and there’s no whale bones in battlefield to my knowledge
edgy sequoia
fossil oxide
the phalanx is a formation cryptid.....
edgy sequoia
they're circle-winged but it's not really visible
hushed steeple
I know, I just associate it in my head with all Ancient Greek fighting for some reason
edgy sequoia
wind arch
How many persons do you think would have fought in the battle?
wind arch
ok
fossil oxide
then the battle
wind arch
orbis?
fossil oxide
we did that one already
wind arch
oh
edgy sequoia
ooh
fossil oxide
the ones in orbit
edgy sequoia
what's the name?
fossil oxide
are orbis
fossil oxide
pieris orbis
hushed steeple
It’s okay, Melon 
edgy sequoia
there are butterflies in Orbit?
edgy sequoia
or was is it in Eden Castle?
fossil oxide
back to the translucent butterflies
wind arch
Ovatus? ( means oval )
hushed steeple
I highly doubt we want to name them P. circus
fossil oxide
yup
it isn't latin
pieris circulus is ok
but how about
pieris cataracta
waterfall butterflies
b/c theyre from the waterfall
hushed steeple
Hold up ima go rewatch the scene
fossil oxide
ok
edgy sequoia
yes
fossil oxide
but first lets vote
pieris circulus
pieris cataracta
plz vote guys...
there we go
it is decided
pieris cataracta - the circular butterflies above the waterfall in sanctuary
sly kestrel
....?
fossil oxide
pic plz
topaz girder
What are yall naming
tender dune
i see scientific names i thought we done
fossil oxide
the circular butterflies above the waterfall in sanctuary
no more came up
a lot more
tender dune
They're still the same species of butterfly
fossil oxide
Taraxacum Volitare
tender dune
It will be confusing to name same butterfly but in different places different things
fossil oxide
That's the scientific name for the dandelions in daylight praire
no they are slightly different
I am told
tender dune
What's different about them?
edgy sequoia
smol manats
edgy sequoia
tinamus I think
fossil oxide
that's the moss
fossil oxide
Taraxacum Volitare
That's the scientific name for the dandelions in daylight praire
edgy sequoia
me go eat lunch
tender dune
Usually animals in cutscenes would be translucent so i think it's still the name butterfly species (same color as spirit)
edgy sequoia
nunu
fossil oxide
hmmmmm
edgy sequoia
they has circle wings'
tender dune
fossil oxide
vote
gilded fossil
/guys i've had 2 lunches and you guys are still not done nameing
edgy sequoia
yes
fossil oxide
we keep finding more
tender dune
Jen i also came in to see them naming again
spring blaze
what are you kids going on rn
fossil oxide
so...….
gilded fossil
/taxonomy
fossil oxide
Myliobatis minima
tender dune
We started scientifically naming the species/ all living beings in sky world yesterday. And apparently its still going on ginsy😅
spring blaze
oh my
tender dune
I'm not at home so i can't pyre
scarlet wren
wild....
spring blaze
also uh whats the pygmy manta
fossil oxide
the ones u call baby mantas
spring blaze
in sanctuary?
fossil oxide
lore community decided the pigmy mantas are a whole different species
spring blaze
in the first bell cutscene?
spring blaze
in 8player?
fossil oxide
everywhere
spring blaze
yeah
fossil oxide
in the lake in ice rink too
spring blaze
yep
fossil oxide
give me an adjective that describes it
