I mean we still do call them she/he but canon wise they're genderless
yeahh
are they based off of pollux and castor?
Whats pollux and castor?
it's really up to interpretation and that differs from person to person 
Dora holds with her right. Kakashi with his left
Wait what they have names
nope
those are just fanmade names since the twins' hairs look somewhat similar to the characters
but canon-wise as of now, no they don't have names
ooo i see
does the same apply to all the other elders? like elder of the isle, elder of the prairie, etc.
Ok but I like Res' theory
(●’◡’●)ノ hey there
megan ran out of wax when making prairie and wasteland elder so she had to salvage the scraps to make the valley elders
Megan: To make sure you get along, you only get one arm.
Samekh: get into deep competition
Teth: I made something for you. Now you can hold two things at a time like us!
Samekh: continue to have a sibling rivalry
Megan: I'm yeeting you the hardest.
I feel like the elder creation order goes isle>prairie>wasteland>vault>forest>valley
ancestors: find dark stone only because of how much damage was caused by Teth's crash
isle has to be first
he guided the first spirits
prairie is second, he helped create the civilization
those are just fanmade names since the twins' hairs look somewhat similar to the characters
Ahhh thank you I didn’t know
wasteland was probably third, to make sure the kingdom's integrity remained
vault was fourth, to create an archive for all the knowledge
forest was fifth, she took the knowledge and created things from it
vault and forest are interchangeable
valley was last, they're in charge of entertainment and hence not necessary, which is why megan skipped out on their bodies
ah ok
thank goodness i thought i missed a new character while i was gone
why megan? is it a fanon name?
a typo bricky made
then I have my theoretical dark creature god megakrill
that I call karen
megan also apparently means child of light in some languages?
lore chat best chat
There's a megacrab named bob. They get no chat time.
im down
I agree, this is the best chat
that's our motto
I prefer questions
I saw this thing on a capeless moth’s back, does this mean anything or am I overthinking this? 
That shows up in a number of places
So it probably means something, but the what is unclear
I believe it shows up in the room from belonging
it kinda looks like this, the symbol is on the piano too,, kind of

ahh
is ok neither is mine 
Hmm... You know what else it looks like? One thing in front of two others. (Ok yes weird thing to say but stay with me)
We kinda wind up like that when pulling two skykids with us.
if you're in a group of 4 you can hold hands such that when you fly you all form a diamond shape 👁️
let's just say diamonds are pretty versatile in how they appear as they can make up many shapes and have different meanings as well
i believe we see its cosmic form in vault lvl 5
i believe we see its cosmic form in vault lvl 5
Ooo yeah
It kinda looks like an isopod
oh yes true
and the babies have multiple wings too
maybe related species/subspecies/crossbreed 
or like boop said, entirely different species
Maybe
yeahh we can only speculate for now
Or maybe it’s an older versions of the manta?
@solemn olive Actually you're correct on that, it's an Ancient/Elder Manta
As seen in the concept art
manta but old 
How old do you think the elders are?
Well given the sheer size of the entity
And the fact it looks like it emerged from the water...
I'd have to say at least several hundred to a few thousand years
0-0
Dang
Wait does the same apply to whales?
Cause I think they’re about the same size
I wouldn't be surprised if Whales are an example of Convergent Evolution.
If we're to suspect that Whales are of flesh and blood.
^
Yeah
I think it might be a whale since the rib cage is very rounded
Yeah
If I had to guess the anatomy is prob similar to a real life manta or sting ray
sting rays are worse
They have the same basic features
Yeah true
No those are the ends of the fins
But the skeleton in vault could be a manta
The bones could have been warped
Also see they do not have ribs
Sky mantas could
Then why does a manta spirit (if we're to assume cosmic creatures are just animal ghosts) come out.
True
Actually speaking of cosmic creatures
Then why does a manta spirit (if we're to assume cosmic creatures are just animal ghosts) come out.
They aren’t spirits they are a different breed of manta
Kinda like dog breeds
People are saying that these are actually cosmic elder mantas.
Makes sense, morphology wise they're much closer to the elder manta than a whale.
so are the cosmic manta
Wouldn't make sense they were
I think the cosmic manta are like glass frogs
They are clear
You can see through them
Considering a cosmic manta (normal) comes OUT OF THE SKELETON.
Okay, fair point
Like it literally emerges from the skeleton
So they're not of flesh
They're spirits
I have a feeling their size is actually less on them being living
And actually more on how much the remained were prayed to
Maybe it’s like vampires? Like once it dies it can’t grow more
When we pray to the skeleton it's just one kid
And the manta that comes out is pretty small.
But at the end there are gigantic cosmic mantas
More like ancient spirits
Maybe it works like the spirits in Coco?
Like you have to remember them for them to live
I think the Greek gods do too
Well the civilization has serious Buddhism feels to it.
So maybe it's a mix of both
Maybe
Pray to the skeletons a lot and boom, giant cosmic creature
Only pray a little, it's tiny.
Probably.
Though to what though is kind of debatable.
So, I've been wondering about the so called diamond presses. I wandered around and took some photos.
Perhaps to the spirit connected to the thing they are praying infront of
I noticed one in the forest temple is different (doesn't have any sort of pattern). Do you guys think this is intentional?
The one in the forest temple is probably engineered to work rather than designrd to look good
Here's some more
I'm more inclined towards this being some sort of texture error, but still
Engraving is usually done irl to make things look good, but costs extra. Maybe someone was feeling cheap.
Hm, I'm not too knowledgeable on the diamond making process, but I'd agree.
On another note, this is the same symbol that appeared on the seasonal candles. And please correct me if I'm wrong: it represents the stars, doesn't it?
has anyone see this?
Yeepp ^^
i cant find translation somehow...
especially when somebody here is talking about megan
There must be a translation😳
im sure that i saw it here before
if anyone can find it, please share it here
my wifi is so slow it cant load all pictures in Tom Zhao's site

The translation is right there tho ;;
...im so flipping blind

apologize for that
Also @sturdy cobalt I FOUND THE FLIPPIN VASE IN VAULT.
Lol
yeah, it's a beta leftover
Weird
Yea idk why they left it there
yeah there's a bunch of pre-global beta stuff around 
i guess they're like tributes/memories for the people who were around for pre-global
So what is the eye exactly?
in here it's believed by some that the eye was a large power diamond
i think it's a power diamond gone wrong since it's pretty big. power diamonds are usually very small so they aren't dangerous, but you make a big power diamond like that and it's probably going to go haywire
Maybe it had so much power that it overflowed
yeah, and the diamond probably couldn't contain the power
so i guess it went kaboom and eden is how it is now 
Yup
This is just a thought but what if that diamond was the sphere the king was holding in the mural
Like it was the kingdom’s source of power and light so when it went boom, everything fell down from there
That would explain why theres dark creatures, cuz theres no light to keep them away
it still sucks up or spits out energy
Yea energy but not light
Like maybe the dark creatures co-existed with the spirits until the eye exploded and there wasnt any light to stop them so they attacked
(Before the spirits were dead obviously)
Hello! I joined the discord a few days ago and this is one of the channel's that caught my eye! The theories you guys come up with are really interesting.
Okay!

Message credits to Bricky

Like maybe the dark creatures co-existed with the spirits until the eye exploded and there wasnt any light to stop them so they attacked
what if the creatures were converted to darkness due to the blast, could be something similar to the creation of a black hole
And the reason why dark creature seek light is because they’re naturally drawn to it trying to absorb the light they possibly lost
On another note, this is the same symbol that appeared on the seasonal candles. And please correct me if I'm wrong: it represents the stars, doesn't it?
@hushed steeple it repersents the new season
And the reason why dark creature seek light is because they’re naturally drawn to it trying to absorb the light they possibly lost
@stoic ore well maybe the light eminating from the crystal before it exploded was too powerful for them to get close to
Once the crystal exploded it could have provided the opportunity for dark creatures to take over Eden
I wonder if the sphere of the king has any more importance to the lore cause the Eden constellation show the people praising the orb
In the other murals it shows the elders carrying out their duties and helping their people, but the king mural is centered around the orb instead of himself
Maybe the orb was a source of light and energy for the kingdom
That orb could also be what was the last connection of the sky people to orbit. It would spend most, of not all its time in Eden. And in the end it can be seen expelling light and energy upwards.
This is just a small thought, but what if before the orb didn’t explode it was used to absorb light instead. Like it would be pointed towards the highest point in the kingdom and take the stars from the sky. When it exploded it would have scattered all the light across the kingdoms, hence why there are lost lights almost everywhere.
The light expelling upwards would be all the buildup of all the stolen light
I could be wrong about this, but it would be an interesting reason to why they fell into darkness. They were corrupted for their greed of more light
And this greed would spark the war in the wasteland? Idk
Wow thats a pretty neat theory
Thank u ˵ᐛ ˵
a note about The Orb: in the concepts, it commonly represented « The Flame » which was basically a power source before the kingdom turned to darkstone tech 
Dropping in on the lore chat for the first time and I’m loving these theories 
have you read the lore moff doc ?
Oh no... I managed to lose the moffdoc!

voilà :3
Phew
Much thanks

a note about The Orb: in the concepts, it commonly represented « The Flame » which was basically a power source before the kingdom turned to darkstone tech
Darkstone tech, this is my first time hearing about that, what is it?
- gaspu * you don’t know about darkstones ?
i should probably add darkstone to the lore moff doc
Okies thank u
in summary, darkstone is a material which absorbs flame/light
Ah okay
we would get so many new players
Lets be real most of the new players would leave in like 5 minutes of playing
oof
Moth: walks into gw and sees krill Moth: 😶 leaves
I won't lie I got rlly freaked out by the krill first time seeing it and demanded that my friends take me through gw cuz I refused to go by myself lol
And I'm lowkey still scared haha I barely go in gw for candle runs
I was also really scared until i realized they have tunnel vision
But they’re still scary yea
I do remember jumping into gw real quick for a few quests yesterday, and the krill kept thinking it saw me even though I was chillin in one of the pipes. Like it actually got annoying cuz it kept stopping to check like MOVE OMG
honestly like some people swear krill don’t have peripheral vision , but sometimes they’ll flick their heads toward me and see me even though i’m not in their light like ??? okay sir 🙈
where's the lore >:[
sdskdskds uhh krill are weapons probably :D
Just discuss anything about your knowledge in this game....a good knowledge...
Anyway the most important should be prince/king/Megan(Megabird)...
But we already tired for that
Just hope someone to throw a doc to new lore moff

Hope there is a bot can do that
not yet lol
Hahahahaha
we’d have to ask the mods if they could add that functionality to skybruh
idk sounds pretty hard
im no coder so i cant say much
I would be worried about what triggers sending moffdoc
Personally I think the way they do it in #sky-coloring-pages is ideal
how do they do it there ?
they have a slowdown, that method works because there’s a slowdown
||what does this candle refer to? Why is it at the end of credits, before going back home||
it wouldn’t work in a non-slowdown environment
no need for spoilers !
we’re not sure what the candle is, it’s up to you, mostly 
Kinda looks like our internal candle though
... What if it's not everlasting... What if one day the devs update the scene to show less candle?
What if the size of the candle is already designed to reduce over time and we don't realize it?
PANIC
That would honestly be terrifying lol
Quick question before I drop a theory of mine: What's that diamond-shaped thing at the "end" of Eden? I think I've heard people call it "The Heart" but I wanna be sure..
I have no idea, sorry, I just thought it was the rest of the storm
I think it’s up for speculation, I haven’t seen anything canon on what it is yet
there’s nothing canon on it, but the commonly accepted theory is that it’s a massive power diamond
The eye of the storm
It’s honestly ironic that if the diamond is the eye of the storm considering how chaotic it is there
I guess because around the eye of a storm, it's the most severe.
Oh yeah, isn't the eye of a storm supposed to really calm. My bad
I think the eye is the castle itself
Ahhh truuue
That area always confuses me cause it just “teleports” us there after hugging ourselves
And the area around the diamond looks extremely destroyed with the castle nowhere in sight
Unless it blasts us upward towards the floating ruins, but there’s snow and ground there which doesn’t make sense to me
Someone proposed the idea that we hug that figure inside the diamond
Yeah, I dont really get where that place is, where we are just light
Which doesn't seem far fetched as once you do hug them you move on to the next area with that beam, which is coming out of the diamond itself in Eden
We are in the storm, suddenly we are in a glowing tunnel of jellyfish
Someone proposed the idea that we hug that figure inside the diamond
I think it more like our inner light, the one we always have no matter how dead we are
Like we hug them in our brain
Or soul
It’s could be a representation of inner turmoil and comfort cause our light self looks really sad and lost
if i remember correctly our character is a hybrid, i like to think that we are getting back our other half
That's what I love about Sky: Nothing is correct but nothing is incorrect either. We're free to theorize as we wish
That’s what I honestly love about this game
tbh i didn't know there was lore until i saw this channel lmao
i figured there was lore but finding the lore channel made me 10x as invested in the game
I have to go to sleep, but I wanna talk lore 😭😂
SLEEP!!
Sleep child
sleep bad lore first
This is the equivalent of the I don’t need sleep, I need answers meme
Yeah lol
i stalk this chat everyday so that's basically me
Well goodnight 
gn
See you all in sky!!
Gn 
Idk if this has already been mentioned but I think the seasonal candle model was accidentally changed and

i noticed that as well, it’s the same for me
I don’t wanna get my hopes up but king season?? 
More canon lore??
are the spirits darkstone by the time? i just realize we lit them from stone to spirit form, someone knows something?
maybe, what do you think ?
I think it’s like the cooled core of a star
They’re lights out so they’re just stone and metal
oh yes, it makes sense
and this hapens to the kids itself when the light runs out so
i think is jsut the same with the spirits
but i think in the spirits case, they really turn to pure stone, it even do crumble sounds when it lit 'em
I really hope Prophecy candles aren’t orange after all
we're technically made of light, i think even the cape is made out of light, seeing as we spawn a cap after getting a star
same, i’m so tired of orange 
honestly ruins the theming a little
I was hoping as a moth Sanct ones might be aqua or something
Yeah
thinking the orange of Enchantment was intentional
Lightseekers has everything, even s p e c i a l c a n d l e s
they were BLUE
I kind of want sort of a dull grey for Prophecy candles
actually no that might be difficult to spot
crimson
What about purple 
oooooo
Purple candles sounds nice, maybe like a light shade
- ahem *
#seasons-events-chat
My bad-
It was semi-relevant to the above image
Actually have anyone wondered it's candles and any other light source?
wdym ?
wh
Do you mean like, there’s more than one source of light?
Everything we need to do requires requires candles. Yet in the forest there's a light miner.
Wouldn't that suggest more than one source?
cough diamonds
diamonds are made with more than one source of light
i thought the machine in the forest made diamonds with natural light sources like butterflies and birds rather than mining light
Would regular fire just work?
i think one of the light sources they seek in forest may be the "life force" of things, since they cut trees to get
alright
but we see darkness comes from trees, not light
or maybe im confused 
What did Lumberjack even break with the tree though
they almost hit someone iirc
Idk, talking about candle colors made me think of it, so I'm looking up the meaning of that atm
The spirit in last area the forest is the 《Tearful Light Miner》
Hm... We know that light's important enough to collect with any possible means
Sorry if I'm not contributing much, I'm trying to wrack my brain to coherently make sense
in prairie we also have laughing light catcher
staff is correct
Ye, the colleague failing to gather it
thus what made Lightcatcher burst into laughter
it’s either difficult or colleague is just bad at it/having a bad day

guys so sorry, I will sort of change the topic but... I was thinking about smth.
this was probably talked about before
but i could not find it maybe my searching skills suck
excluding the new ones that come with seasonal areas or the ones that were added way later, I could count 64 "OG" winged lights, I downloaded the game on august 2019 and was noob for half a year since I did not pay much attention so my memory might be failing me so give or take 1-2 to that number. there are 63 statues that you can deposit light in the storm. coincidence?
maybe our og child of light(if there was only one) attempted to do the job of retrieving the stars by himself 63 times
Probably completely intentional
if there were multiple children of light maybe they were sent to the kingdom one at a time
and they all ended up dying in the storm at the end
what i was trying to say was that the statues could be the bodies of the "imprints" we collect
so in the end we would be just returning the light we got from their moments in the land to their owners
Ooh, yes.
I just kinda imagine maybe someone just took the time to knit the manta cape with some fancy smooth silk, and just sat around Sanctuary and watched the baby mantas fly by for inspiration 
I still remember that one dark sky comic 
Nah not that one that one is funny ngl
Yes lol, which one then?
In sanctuary islands we learned creatures have some kind of relation with bell sound, maybe these ancient people (spirits) taught them with bells. My question in we have one of those bells in Home, top of eden entrance, and it rings every 15 minutes. Anyway do you think the bell in home has anything to do with the bells in sanctuary islands?
there are bells in village area in praire too
Yes, they summon mantas
considering how they used to farm light screatures in praire and especially in village those make sense
But the bell in home, does it summon us after eden rebirth, maybe?
So would the mantas that arrive at Eden just die? Or maneuver around the dangerous areas to where the other light creatures are
They reborn too, only if a creature dies by an accident or from a krill attack, they cannot reborn, the skeletons we see in the game belong to those unlucky ones who couldn’t make it to eden
maybe it is to keep the light creatures away from the door
That makes sense actually
Kinda reminds the concept of this one comic I saw that if a Sky kid dies outside of Eden they’re reborn into a new life
:0 heck that looks neat
I think it be neat if the same concept applied to Sky kids, we could have little children (moths) grow up some way
lmao
rebirth is great theme on sky kingdom but i dont think bells contribute to the rebirth directly
Heheh would be super
just my opinion though
Like tamagochi
True 
i think they control/call them
Probably just a way to herd them into groups like cattle or something-
summon the mantas to harvest their light 
and their capes huehue
And to make manta cape ofc /jkjk
:0
no mantas were harmed in the making of manta cape 
Nooo mantas are too cute for this 
in the making of power diamonds though 
also manta onesie- /still jk I promise
HURT FEELINGS DON'T COUNT
But
Whoever looked at a manta and was like I will kill you for power
That would be a not very nice person
tell that to the king
but consider the power in question being the onesie
[climbs on king’s shoulder] [spams the
]
k-
king in manta onsie
now that would be a delight to eyes
I have to draw this now
Why, Bricky
please do
ehehe
I just had a big braun moment
There's the theory we're the Prince, right? Like we're the reincarnation or something-
No
that’s a censored term on this server, furwa
Saying no is censored ?
ah
well, you sent two other words of similar spelling, i was letting you know they’re censored
Yknow at first I was gonna debate that but thinking about it, it'd be kinda cool?
Like the candles we keep with us and vital for our journey through the realms is a piece of the Prince aiding us along the way
Very sentimental appeal
And we lose him when we lose WL (I think he’s more so our ‘light’ than the candle specifically but I do think the candle is a manifestation of our light)
Kinda reminds the concept of this one comic I saw that if a Sky kid dies outside of Eden they’re reborn into a new life
@feral aspen wait elaborate? Do you mean a new life like a manta or a new life like a new skykid
and what's this about a Prince?

ah I see
@sharp bone A new life for a Sky kid
Yeah. Not to get off topic, but I looked into red candles and tl;dr
Red candles are used for bestowing energy, so it makes when we light up another person's candle, we can see their features.
They also help with vitality, which is represented by us restoring each other's light.
It's mostly my speculation, but there's likely some form of candle magic going on, especially with red candles. Candle cakes are red and they restore a lot of our energy.
In said comic they’re basically a new person and have no memories of their past lives
So red candles is a life source basically
same fire, though, yes? Considering in this game your flame is essentially your essence
White candles = Candles made from light
Red candles ≈ Special candles?
Though, our candle is pretty much our soul/spirit manifesting in physical form
Maybe
But this still could mean the Prince is the candle-
Among the list of things white candles are used for, here's what I think relates to here:
Purification, blessings, peace, enlightenment, prophecy and clairvoyance.
These candles can be used for contact with a higher self or spirit guides, which explains why they're used when we buy things from said spirits. And white represents friendship, like the white candles we use when people become friends through the game.
I think ascended candles are like a powered up version of the white candles. Which actually makes a bit of sense when you see them, they're a translucent red. Red is associated with power, and we use these to ascend the spirits, which implies the white candle.
they’re yellow when you craft them
Eee I sending a video
For lore
Notice in the intro of the isle of Dawn that the castle isn’t that far apart?
So, when we came. The castle was about to ascend
And notice how there are the king statues?
There's not much about yellow candles that can fit here, Bricky. But here's what I could find that fit.
Yellow candles are for the mental energy. Helping with memory and wanting knowledge or insight into problems. They enhance and encourage communication.
It's difficult to figure how yellow turns white but it could be an off white coloring?
you are allowed to say || eden || here right just want to make sure
no need for spoilers
if elders cant age, then the prince cant grow into a king by default, like waiting for him to come at age to be crowned. it can work if elders age in intelligence or age mentally, but samekh playing with the light and eventually ignoring our skykid kinda defeats it.
my question is how did the prince become king and eventually rule the realm? if he is at most a teen, that is still not wise or experienced enough. did he really mature by accumulating power and worship or just in some metaphorical way?
okaii
i kinda just realized the castle you see when you first start the game is the same castle you see in orbit
im thinking it had something to do with power level
he might not mentally or physically age, but he might become stronger, perhaps as the kingdom gets more control of the flame ?
does that make sense pale ?
i do not notice many things
ok kinda make sense. the flame might have something to do w it
plastic stone
It's hard to tell really, because we know that corruption inevitably happens
hard to tell what ?
the funny thing is u dont convince the majority to see you as king through strength alone
another thought: the prince brought the flame/light/orb to the ancestors so they already saw him as a saviour of sorts
in game it looks shiny
m bless the mind control theory
When the topic of how did the prince become a king came up
me
well not only the mind control theory, but that’s kind of what happened in the old timeline
Maybe he forcefully took control-
discovering a precious thing and distributing it? well ya that def wins ppl over for a long time
Or he wasn't ready and his mind cracked a bit from stress?
the prince and creatures brought flame to the ancestors
it wasn’t mentioned they were revered for it, but we can extrapolate that information considering the vault mural showing the king being worshipped
Slowly falling into the madness of power and is the result of the fall of the kingdom
ehehe corruption
Good ol corruption 
Yep
ya i think it makes sense now
there’s a lot of reasons the prince could have brought the flame to the ancestors, but it’s likely whatever reason, he did it
/maybe he just saw shiny thing and took it
Btw is there any way to get an idea of what the prince looks like?
Much thanks 
Anyone know what this is?
Considering maybe doodling the prince falling into corruption-
/it was light speed bricky
Strange thought but maybe he didn't mean to be revered when he gave the light? Good intentions could've snowballed out of control and he got caught up in the current of praise?
/it's a glitch perhaps tired
Ahh ok
/looks like the murals in ark but chopped
It's floating in sanctuary
/then it's a glitch 
Strange thought but maybe he didn't mean to be revered when he gave the light? Good intentions could've snowballed out of control and he got caught up in the current of praise?
/conclusion prince is a narc
it’s a bug i’m pretty sure
imagine the kreb carying it
The crab is speaking to me
/the ancient language of god
if thé prince is starting height and the corresponding age, he’s literally 3 years old so he’d definitely get caught up in praise
although
how old at most do you think the prince is ?
imo i see him as about 14
/7 actually
I was thinking maybe in his young/ pre teens, definitely an age where praise can get to you
/i see my skids as 7
yes but according to the CDC we’re between the age of 2 (chibi) and 7 (tallest height)
starting height, 3’2, is 3 years old

who put a child in charge
/megan
wHY DID THE ELDERS ALLOW THIS
They’re like: Child gave us light...ruler it is 
Elders want kids to be independent
/so crackpot theory the elders are teenagers
/they irresposible too, along with a parental figurre that sucks
Isle is a teen how nice of you to say that
/the kingdom was destined for despair
old people just like being referred as young people dont they 
megan: ah yes i will send my teenage children and my toddler son to rule a kingdom
megan: what could go wrong
Isle is a teen how nice of you to say that
/he wore a beard, that's how it become a cosmectic, non of the bearrd is real
Some shots of what I assume is the mandibles of krill attacking ships in ark and shipyard during the cataclysmic event of the spirits time
/
he wore a beard, that's how it become a cosmectic, non of the bearrd is real
my life is a lie
Ooo
Glitch pretty cool tho
megan: ah yes i will send my teenage children and my toddler son to rule a kingdom
megan: what could go wrong
/we should get a megan: worst mom of the year meme
Hmmm wonder why they’re all over places with krill 🤷♂️
lore memes be hoarding into #sky-memes
glitch ? in known issues ? those horns have been there since launch i think
Yea
it’s not a glitch, i’m not sure what jen is on about
/i thought he lou was talking about the walls??
Did you read the message 🤣?
Has anyone have lore about
emote?
It looks like he doesn't agree with the mural behind him
No worries Jen just thought I’d share here
I think it’s good lore material under lighting we’ve never been able to see until now
/does the krill flying above have a lost horn?
Also a cool pic of the darkness sludge coming outta the pipes in shipyard
My thoughts on the krill pieces around the gw is that they’re from long dead krill and maybe other krill like creatures from some sort of battle
Yea it really is grill
Makes a great deal of the dark places of the game look new
Honestly with that new lighting I would’ve just assumed it was some new place
/i want the texture glitch to stay permannant
More of the industrial piping in shipyard
I like it in some places too Jen
Other places it looks odd
I love the black birds in prairie 👌👌👌
The crows
Emm guys....now I know why it’s called as ‘bird’
woah
Do you see that fiery bird AKA Megan/or should I call other name as Pheonix?
it kinda looks like a pheonix
that’s a massive colour shift
I just editing the contrast and...walla there is it ahahhaah
here’s an original one
Wwwwwooooww whattt
what is that?
megabird
You got wider picture so you got wider phone😭😭
no, it’s landscape mode
Ehh landscape mode will make it wider??. Ouh don’t know...I usually using big screen mode..maybe it zooming my screen
That mega bird is really cool
ask in #questions-and-help lanister
I always thought of it as a symbolic Phoenix
Who using big phone will get that modes
Hello new Lore Moff!
Read this short document to get started! Once you’ve read this, check out pins for more information. 
https://docs.google.com/document/d/18B1-SKG3toG0oH0VhOWC5o-cG9u0STAN92QvmbhTDto/edit
Yeah
read this for megan info uwu
Since the game is a cycle of life and death
true
Ngehhh no huh??
There’s actually another place that the mega bird can be seen in the game
But it’s in a spoiler area
where?
Ouh yeah in office entrance
Yea
It’s okay don’t need to spoiler right?
office isnt canon, so let’s take that with a bucket of salt
i whant to go there
heres a clear pic of it
But we can’t see full of it....before this, Bricky have put this picture
Nice
Ahh that’s it
cool
the lil dude in the middle is the prince
/smol dude
Or king
no, it’s the prince
Megabird gives flame to Prince and Creatures
that’s literally the subtitle of the image in the backstory timeline
whats the name?
no, it’s the prince
/wait how do we know??
It looks like Megan is made of smol birbs which is kinda canon but interesting that the ancestors drawing knew that the light creatures were part of Megan
Very interesting. The smaller “birds” actually are picking up light? I guess then coagulating into the mega bird
I wonder if the birds represent us sky kids
🤷♂️
In the original life cycle drafts all light creatures came from Megan, went through the cycle of life, and eventually returned to being part of her again
If memory serves**
/oh yea in orbit we do see a pic of her
I love that the lore can be interpreted so many ways
Side note: Megan is a very pretty phoenix/ourabourous
I love that the lore can be interpreted so many ways
/i love the lore is a breeding ground for crackpot theory
Brilliant
Like really smart. Not giving too much so that it’s obvious but enough so that it’s clearly a real thing. This way almost anybody thinking about the lore can interpret it in different ways and not be wrong or right necessarily
The only other writer that comes to mind is hidetaki Miyazaki
/like my theory about how skids are a gatorade
And maybe hp lovecraft
Here’s the old backstory timeline since i keep referencing it
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DN92-hX2v3nPxc215W2K7YWnmCYTUtGXYTX5uLKq620/edit
Lovecraft was vague about his lore bc he was too scared to leave his house for fear of seeing * gasp * an actual person of color, so scary 🙄

why?
why what ?
/yea?
?
i
what
What is the topic now?
@hushed steeple Dont get me wrong lovecraft was a hideous human being
That’s no question
Oh no yeah
But his literature permeates literally all scifi, horror, fantasy
?
??
But sorry off topic
What is the topic?
lore
Lore
?
The games story
ohh
please specify what you’re confused about rather than just writing a ‘?’ and thinking it covers it
okay
something to set off discussion: what do you think the darkness in the intro is, and what other details do you theorize about the elders’ fall ?
That’s hard bc you can take the falling two ways; either an accident, or they were cast out of the sky. I think the first falling was an accident, but when the civilization they built collapsed it was due to the elders’ hubris
mmm tasty hubris
Said every Greek hero every, approximately five minutes before dying
absolute mood
Maybe from the forbidden forest?
That forbidden darkstone?
Even it no longer canon...
They consume that forbidden stone...they didn’t listen to their more old ancestor story about that stone......DON’T GET NEAR TO THAT STONE OR YOU’LL WILL PAY THE PRICE....
the price is their light....
every greek hero lmao
Okay not Perseus but you get the idea
speaking of hubris, did i tell you about my atlantis and sky comparison ?
darkness could be metaphorical - perhaps the elders got opposing ideas to the narrator. this difference in ideas made the elders leave orbit, and the narrator doesn't like how they had different ideas so they label the elders' change of mind as 'darkness'
or darkness is literal - the connection between all the elders and the CoL brought about infinite light, but then disconnection (as seen in the intro) caused light to,, not be infinite, and brought about darkness - if darkness was non-existent when light was infinite.
morning, i just woke up 
brick, i don't think you posted it here you can send it 
i did, but i can send again
oo okays

- had some cool magical resource that made them really powerful
- hubris. hubris everywhere
- collapsing because of overuse of that magic resource and the decadence and hubris that came with it
- now a dead, abandoned civilization in a very hard-to-reach place
hubris. Hubris everywhere insert meme
What is interesting to note is that I always thought that Aleph would fall with the other Elders but I just rewatched the intro and he gets cut off from the rest and doesn’t seem to fall
Yes ^^
sitting in the corner extrordinarily confused
same
are yall new here?
Lol
im not new here but to the lore extremely

trying to understand any of what i just read took up too much soace in my brain and i think i frogot something
aye Bricky
oo thank brick 
ok time to take up too much space in my brain and forgot some essential things abiut my life now k baiiii

enjoy reading! 
back to the earlier topic
do krill ever die
I don’t think so, Northie
oh
We see no bones and can’t fight them
man thats pretty sad compared to light creatures
im wondering why Alef fell last
there’s got to be a reason, especially considering he seemed to be the first affected by the darkness, it would make more sense for him to fall first
if you go deeper into lore itll get darker so get ready
Unless he chose to fall to stay with the other elders
Like he let himself succumb to the darkness intentionally bc he was lonely
oh what-

my theory is that he had a magical girl transformation before he fell and that's why he fell last 
e-
elaborate...res...
pft
a magical girl transformation?
yeah i'm not joking i think the CoL is the king so the CoL just took another form before he fell down to sky civilisation 
what the heck is a magical girl transformation-
i feel greatly what
Res used confusion. It was very effective!
ah, i was joking about the magical girl transformation part. it was to exaggerate the changing of form
It’s fun to imagine though
o h
magical neko transformation
i though you were being serious-
imagining alef doing a magical girl transformation makes me laugh and die inside
my heart is telling me to draw that but my last braincell says no
imagining alef doing a magical girl transformation makes me laugh and die inside
/neeed arrt
/oh
/oh iff he got mecha transformation
if anyone ever does it i will laugh so hard until my sides hurt and treasure it
boop in that case, i think isle elder is the magical girl 
alr do y'all want him maskless or not
do whatever you want
im still so incredibly lost like you have no idea
/let him get the mask after the transformation
YES
geg have you seen the pins?
im still so incredibly lost like you have no idea
/crackpot theories
a few yes
we’re having a layered conversation, it’d be hard to understand geg
im still so incredibly lost like you have no idea
@fossil mason
We’ve all been a lore moth at one point
im like currently stuck with using discord on my phone so i cant exactly use the links correctly rn
you can start with the canon lore doc/fan theory doc, then try tom zhao's website, then look at the rest 
if you have any more questions you can ask here ^^
there's no set order in how you can look through the pins, but that's just how i'd do it
you don't have to rush to read if you can't right now 
im stuck on a phone for now sooo
just read em at your own pace
also no knife plos 
i shall use my horn instead
plays sounds of silence slowly with an echo affect for more emotion

/you need pics too?
oh wow

/yay!
it's either he's super tall or he's super short with a giant mech suit to suit his gigantic ego 
here’s the important info from lore moff doc, for those who can’t open it
/guys wwhat if the king is the only one fighting the war?
hmm idk
/wait who the heck iss princess bet?
/guys wwhat if the king is the only one fighting the war?
/all the weapons are tooo big
is it
/wait tho, there were plenty of shields broken and scatterd
god im just barely keeping my head in the game here
idk bout all these names i just call em all eldurs (except wasteland eldur i call him dad) and i didnt know there was an eden eldur that we just didnt see im so confused on literaly E V E R Y T H I N G
from now on i will refer to the wasteland eldur as GD
exactly
No
thattoo but thats more personal
yeah-
so golden dad

ANYWAY what was yall talkin bout earlier?
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.
Y’all I showed my sister king in a manta onesie and now she won’t call him king she calls him ‘She-Ra Elvis’ please send help
The manta pants from Sanctuary
It’s Bricky’s fault I drew it
I just call em these:
Isle Gramps
Prarie uncle
Forest mom
Valley Twins
Golden Dad
Vault granny
I still can't memorize all of their Hebrew names
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
just keep mentioning and say it you will remember
as long as people know who you're talking about you'll be fine 
it's always back to the king 😔
diamonds. Diamonds everywhere
i can just imagine somebody hearing that and being like money money money money
hearts hearts hearts hearts
since forest has a power diamond factory i guess it makes sense it'd have a diamond on it
your life life life life
clothes clothes clothes clothes
that's true
one thing that bothers me upon reading about the crebs what were they supposed to be it says the way they walked hinted at it but im just like wut?
wdym?
idk it just doesnt feel like its supposed to have been a bat?
4 legged walking style
ah here's a bat walking for reference
just bc it walks like a bat doesn't mean it could have been a bat but who knows? 
4 LEGGED JUSTU
a small part of me thinks they were supposed to be spiders
GASP
what if they were supposed to be flies
6 legged walk
im not sure but they both have siz legs and i figured if a creb was supposed to be something of the light wouldnt it be able to fly? and still have 6 legs?
crabs have four legs though
weird i remember seeing six
Hey it looks like a coil of lil pipes near the candles under Prairie temple
ooo it kinda does
hmmm
wow exactly 444 candles im impressed
what if its 4444
either that's just the texture or they are pipes, but what would those do?
Well, plus however many are waiting to forge idk
wait of crebs were supposed to be something of the light too? what were krills supposed to be?
credits to @/Ginkomimi#4105 for the pic
they have four legs
boi GW bbq crabs are CHONK
The coil reminds me of coolant grilles
sounds- wh
Dif*
what
white crabs?
LMAO
yall question if crebs were supposed to be a different light creature what were krills supposed to be?
some floating lizard
yeah
hey, it's either we overthink or don't overthink at all here 
im thinkin a slimmer version of the whale or the chonky manta
we have one collective brain cell trying to have lore big brain moments
yes
if we each have 1 brain cell then we all actually make up 4 or 5 braincells so we all gucci
theories on how krills and crabs were made:
- naturally-occuring
- ancestor-made (just for krills - bc of their mechanical sound)
- corrupted light creatures
what do people call it? since i call it mega manta- somehow i think its like the 'parent?' idk or its a far new and diff species?
in the concept art it is an elder manta
CALL IT MAMA MANTA
but i call it the chonker manta 
im calling it mama manta now
which manta?
the fat one in sanc
Hooo chonky manta
i- what let me keep that name in mind but still goin to call it mama manta
mama manta is best
Megamanta?
Mama manta is like the fusion of whale and manta
Mamanta moray (bad Latin joke kill me now)
new species ig-////
not really
im calling her mama manta
I call em chonky manta
if you say new in sky "game" sure
but if "totally new" its a no id say
honestly i'd call her manta queen bc we have tuna king 
It reminds me of the matriarch cat-zeppelin in the Totoro mini-sequel
hol up
i mean the queen one i can agree on that
wale papa and manta mama
Fusion
Babaleen whale
tuna king is the whale btw
I-////
we got papa whale and mama manta in da house yaaallllll
Yeyyyyyyyy
yayy
Sad that we couldn’t ride em 😔
boop 
I wanna ride chonky manta
lmao it's ok
chonky manta be behind wind wall
dont forget about the royal jellies tho yall
all our braincells are melting 
melting cus of chonky manta
the Chrysaora rex?
Has anyone caught big manta over prairie temple
prairie temple?
yes the royal jellies cuz they got crowns
there are giant jellies in orbit ascent
Oooooh
yeah whats up with em
All
how do you know their gender 
tbh i think they are jelly elders, i think animals in sky have their own elders of their species
Waaay above prairie temple spire, big manta but not mama— anee-sama manta
Imma say big jelli
there are bigger mantas above prairie?? woah
so, elder manta, elder jelly, whats the whale ?
elder fish
maybe that whale,, the whale is the elder and the last of its species 😔
Why you gotta make me sad Res
i think the whales in the game are all the same whale actually, so that's
even sadder
😔
There’s one in the cavern in Sunny Forest
yeah, i think it's the same whale too
i think if there were multiple we'd see them all together
What if the whales all died in battlefield or graveyard or smth? They’re definitely big enough to cause the structural damage we see
oh for that; the body skeletons match the whale, but the skulls match turtle heads
i mean that is possible?
😂
