What does it mean
Motus
Motion
I think tripudium is alright. Along the centuries we forgot it was a ritual dance and now it's just Triumph
Motus Aquilae
I must go go find a conjugation of saltare that means dancing as in the adjective
Motion Eagle
Participle, dude
Don’t make me find my Wheelock
I would avoid it's gerundive.. (not sure if it is called like this inenglish) thriumphans
Because for example the gryphonis triumpans is the name of the city of Perugia's emblem and triumphans is about the griffin's standing stance,
If the elders are from an archaic period relative to skids, wouldn’t Greek-derived roots actually be more thematically appropriate?
As far as I know all scientic names goes by with latin
And also think Modus is not specifically the music rythm. For that there is Rythmus
Latin format, but often other roots squodged into conjugation like aforementioned Changyuraptor
Imma look if the Vatican has a modern Latin dictionary online
guysguys
remember Changyuraptor is the genus
so one word only
And also think Modus is not specifically the music rythm. For that there is Rythmus
@boreal nebula rhymus is more like harmony....
Latin format, but often other roots squodged into conjugation like aforementioned Changyuraptor
Imma look if the Vatican has a modern Latin dictionary online
@celest spoke google has one
remember?
just type latin translator
oooook
so currently our species name is "dancing"
Oh are we scientific naming for that rhythm bird?
yup
we r looking for the closest latin word fordancing
Have you guys find candidate names?
@bitter shale #lore-discussion-spoilers message
Ohh okay okay
I shall search for the translation too lol
this is the most participation we have gotten since the founding of the project
what project
Saltare?
ok candidates include saltare
anything else?
ok lets bring the rest
aquilae aurea modum maiestatis saltare navis
I need more explanation
we are making scientific names for the flora and fauna of sky
scientific names are made of the genus and name of the species
so like in a dog
canis is the genus
familiaris is the name
in lions
panthera is the genus
and leo is the name
Most scientific names are Greek though
get it?
:P
so like panthera leo
or canis familiaris
Most scientific names are Greek though
@fading bear most of them are latin.....
this post was made by the people who have too much homework for ancient greek
The names are mostly Greek words with Latin endings (I don't know what they're called in English)
oh the genuses r greek
oh god
the species names are latin
Greek gang
Hellenes represent
It's Latinised Greek lol
so our genus for the rhythm bird is Changyuraptor
we just need a name
aquilae aurea modum maiestatis saltare navis
are our current candidates 
wait really?
I haven't seen it
guess I miss it
so what are we finding now
why are we finding that
u know......
we should vote
aquilae aurea modum maiestatis saltare navis
u get 2 votes
yup
pls vote
a~f
2 votes for all ppl
2
not 1
great saltare is in the lead
bae
if any candidate gets 3 votes or higher it wins
Should i tell people in general to vote here?
But it might can cause some confusion
explain slowwwwly
Okay okay lemme tell general
ok

yeee

I got shared this meditation note. Whose it this from?
@boreal nebula Wow galaxy brain whoever put this they are awesome
When was it changed from triumphus to saltare?
i came here to check up on you lore people and—
i’m not gonna ask
it was never triumphus
how exactly is this lore discussion 
we r making scientific names for all of sky`s flora and fauna
Maybe is my italian mind but Saltare is just To Jump 😕

/i wanna know who this is
Oh.. then It was tripudium... I liked that better
but it was wrong
/also it is plausible
/the isle constellation only had 3 ancestors but the drawings always depicts 4???
/also it is plausible
/the isle constellation only had 3 ancestors but the drawings always depicts 4???
Maybe it was the prophets
aquilae aurea modum maiestatis saltare navis
@fossil oxide what are these names supposed to represent?
we just finished that....
those were the possible candidates
for the name part
in the scientific name of the rhythm end cutscene bird
read the list
Ahhh
we went with saltare
What about the black birds in prairie ? Idk if my eyes deceive me but I didn’t see it on the list
Or you’re going to just name them crows
the black birds are glitched
They... should stay 👀
the black birds are normally grey with white wing tips
and we have those
the "black birds" seem to be able to change color
from a lore point of view
𝔅𝔢𝔩𝔦𝔞𝔩 such a cool font
Can someone tell me more about the prince and his relation with the season of prophecy? Also why is he the fallen prince? Why do we meet him after death?
Thanks 
𝔅𝔢𝔩𝔦𝔞𝔩 such a cool font
@fossil oxide thank you 😌
is that from that jellyfish cave in sanctuary?
is that from that jellyfish cave in sanctuary?
@solar relic Yes
the isle elder is beating up the king!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what? Is that real?!?!
seems to be
I have pics from beta but im not sure if I should post them here
since it's quite cropped out, there's nothing much i can say about it
if it was a proper mural i think it'd look more complete
but as for the prince's relation to whatever the prophecy is about,, we don't know until we get the season, since we don't even know the prophecy yet
but the beauty of the lore channel is such that you can freely theorise without being correct or wrong 
beta stays in beta please!!
beta stays in beta please!!
@solar relic okii!!
what do you think about the mural? do you have your own theories about it?
Yes
wanna share? 
It's from beta lol
aw then never mind 😔
the isle elder beats the king up like obiwan beats up anakin
king fully embraces the dark side
king erases isle mask from the isle gate in home
or in this case prince
is my theory
for me that mural can either mean
something happened to the prince/king that caused him to be knocked out like that. maybe an explosion of the diamond or something? who knows?
crackpot theory: the prince is just lazy relaxing in sanctuary and got the elders to follow him there, that's why that mural is there in the jellyfish cave in sanctuary

Hmmm idk why the prince died...
and one of the 6 figures has a staff
My theory about the prince is he's like the first light, the first children of light. He might be the one who oppose the king, or trying to contain the power diamond so that the king/the realms won't be like now
it wasnt?
Really?
yeah the prince/king wasn't there before
i wonder if that's meant to be there since it got continued
That's weird
see^^
Maybe it was a bug?
was this the poop all along 
i believe that’s a bug 
its still a very strange bug 
have you read the moff doc ?
~~ here it comes
~~
im waiting for manta’s response 
incoming
I don't see it in the pins 
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
(it hasn’t been pinned, unfortunately)
Skjskjskjskj I'm new to this channel
i can tell 
lol
the arrival of a moff is always a joyous day in the lore vault
Lore Vault.. so are we Lore Scholars?
yes 

Eyyo, what did I miss?
😌 and that's on lamed being best elder jk all elders are great but lamed is my favourite
As soon as I got enough I need to unlock the scholars hat/mask then 
did we get any other theories regarding the child hugger? or was it just mine?
i heard of no new theories, do tell 
oh yea i saw that
Ooh interesting theory
Hope to see new other new scholars hat
does that mean the white kiddo is... a candle 
Unlockable I mean
Our flame? 
glances at white kiddo camdol

gigantic camdöl 
it is possible that the kid is our flame actually
while it can manifest as a flame, i think it is also embodiment of light that is within us - which gives us our ability to move about and appear as how we are
(we, as in skids)
our
Light
indeed
👑
i guess it makes sense why when we die and in the darkroom we get a heartbeat sound
because technically the darkroom happens inside us (so basically us talking to the light gem we have)
Indeed💓
When you lose your flame, I found out that when you honk, you can't see the target
Which proves that the flame IS our inner light
cause you have no
Light to guide you
Yep
HOME is where the heart is
HOLE
its ok like how no one saw my butterfly pot
See what?😌
butterfly pot ginko??
a typo i did 
cuz of the typo my theory went whoosh
because technically the darkroom happens inside us (so basically us talking to the light gem we have)
@tender dune
I was thinking roughly the same
You’re in a kind of limbo
that's interesting
Like the Elders
the whole game is limbo imo
there’s just Different Levels of Limbo
well depending on my description it’s actually more like hell but shhhhh
limbo but in different flavours
Ah yes
which flavour do you want:
- unfeeling dark abyss surrounding your tiny platform in the middle of nothing
- your old kingdom and the only catch is time doesn’t move
anyways peace, breakfast time 
bye brickooo
i would like my flavour of limbo as the sad pity star you get after you die outside of eden
i would like an all course limbo
I've heard lots of the second one but not the first
Seeing the recent theory on shiny boy reminded me of something and I have a idea/theory about the lens-flare

Tell about the lens flare
But I need to know more about Season of Belonging
WAIT YES THE BELONGING EMBLEM
Because the symbol and the flare seem akin to me
When you take a WL he/she/it transforms
I know next to nothing about Belonging but it reminds me of the expression that memories ‘ring a bell’
belonging was basically about family of spirits
ye

I know the context but not the spirit stories
uh all i know is that the grandpa was balling and he got into the forbidden archives of vault
And reaches our hearth/chest where there is this emblem
More visible in LightAwaits beta
the symbol is also on the piano

Confetti - just in the fields having fun
Don’t Go - had some sort of thing with crabs
Headpat - “well done, son”
Sparkler - Literally no idea
Loop Dance - no idea either
Wise - got into the Library somehow
And when I look at my chest once, with a very close angle in a column/boat in Ark area I could spot more
hidden in our chest
as in the piano symbol matches with the emblem on the skid chest
See pic above
Yea, it’s my prediction for the >10 wedge symbol actually
possible
And closely related to the lens-flare (longer on the horizontal side)
like how my theory is
is actually megan symbol
oooooooo
diamonds in general in the game can represent a lot of things as said by ash really
This is what I think 11 wedges would possibly look like
same goes for the belonging and enchantment symbols (not sure about the others)
Megan symbol.... Mmm. I always saw it as the Ark carring Enchanted Light... But it could be that Megan curve too
Somehow
ive always seen it as megan 
Prophecy symbol looking like Alef really caught my eye
wait
hands holding an orb.....
y e s
the gratitude symbol is actually a smaller part of the constellation
About my theory. If only I could witness a close chest screen during Eden loosing WLs I could have another proof of that
^yep
to brikson
the constellation is a bell

Only in Stormlock
In Darkroom I think we will either glow too much or not at all
Keep in mind I was able to get that only in a very close shot. I think I was in a boat hole near the
And sometimes I could see through walls too, which I think trigged that POV
i did notice something else in the darkroom but i was thinking it might be just texture since i keep it as energy saving so i didnt bother mentioning it
w h a t i s i t
is it an oob thing?
im too noob for oobs
major cliffhanger right there 😔
heya jouske
The angle trick I meant was sort of like this, when walls get invisible like a 4th wall
Its much more prominent in the hugger child if u see his back. I think we have it too but considering the dark lighting its kinda not as prominent. It reminded me of the thing teb mentioned
Not sure if there is a gamer definition for that
maybe its just a visual bug
interesting 
my overthinking lore brain thinks it isn't a texture bug 
same res😔
😳
so it's not a bug?? 👁️👁️
i was staring and looking at it a lot so it was like that (it wasnt some sort of bug texture angle)
it kinda looks like a diamond
we got a capeless pic somewhere around here to compare stuff?
could be lighting, but the presence of the raised diamond isn’t a bug
king core
yeah what tebkanlo was saying the
thing
we also see the
symbol in valley, ive heard it called king propaganda sometimes 
LOL are skykids hunchback of Notre Dame
isn't that the lightseeker thing?

is that me
trying to know how that symbol is considered king propaganda
is belonging
right right
honestly for me
if i see a diamond in sky i instantly think of the king
that's how much king propaganda has consumed me 😔
same res 
same
diamonds are very prominent in the game, seriously what does it mean??
sanc
rhythm
lightseekers
graditude
enchantment
belonging
thank
diamond motifs can be found around the world of sky, and they’re important
that’s all the devs have told us 

diamonds are very prominent in the game, seriously what does it mean??
@late sigil their robots powered by light obviously
im gonna peace out soon, gl my lore friends
Some call it propaganda in Valley
, becuase if it would have one more diamond it will look like the one most of you call King symbol
hère, teb
completely unrelated note about the krilled manta 
- i honked at it and when it honked back it didnt recharge me
- u cant stay on the manta but flying on it will recharge you
conclusion: did the krill honk really recharge me??
we also see it on the gates
Oh hello all. Sorry for interrupting. But....
i love amios stuff
m i o w h a t
where in valley is this?
I humbly disagree on it being a king emblem... Or it wouldn't make much sense to me why Teth has it too with her mask/hat
dang
I'm searching all around in valley
the place seems familiar
sad no table noises
I humbly disagree on it being a king emblem... Or it wouldn't make much sense to me why Teth has it too with her mask/hat
they’re connected, check canon doc where ash gives hints
good luck amio!
I hope I will have time to read that soon
about the diamonds, i think its connected to power some how, cape wedges are diamond shaped, and in vault it is needed to light lanterns in order to fill up the huge diamond thingy with light/energy as it uses its energy to ascend the platform to the upper floor
and i know the king used something powerful that is diamond shaped, but i could be wrong
thats why we have what we call power diamonds
do you know those diamonds we light up to open doors?
its what we call power diamond
Can call batteries too
in old concept they were called artificial star (in the factory concept of forest elder -who was making them)
yep what amio said too^^
but why diamonds s pe ci f i c a l l y
they're basically made of inorganic and organic stuff (cough butterfly juice)
like why diamond shape and not like..orb/rectangle/etc. shaped?
unsure
me reading the lore chat like a morning newspaper
me watching lore chat like evening tv
and then talking inside it
diamond shape because,,, well i mean OOB the stars are shaped like diamonds but thats tha only connection i can make myself
someone theorised about why its diamond shape (something about it being an equal angle or something ill try to find it)
diamonds can also represent stars and light right
lore cat
stars
no like really
and the writings on the wall
@unborn pulsar are you new here?
hmmmmm
i wanna link the moff doc
@unborn pulsar pins 😳
i got it dw
c*ap cant find it

Credits to Brick
ik bricky knows a lot about tha king n such but i dont think theyre online rn
ah sorry cant find that convo about diamonds but im pretty sure u can google the meaning of a diamond 
yeh brikson left rn
i'd explain more about the king and prince but just read the lore moff doc for now and the pins afterwards
i gotta poof too 😔
grrr i can only find things about the meaning of the diamond gemstone and not the meaning of the diamond shape
awh see ya res

/hi guysss any juicy lore gooing?
scroll up jen xD
OK
i found something
idk if looking up what the shape of a diamond means is looking into it too much but
wow
the person before mentioned it but i forgot who 
hm
makes sense for eden diamond to be broken
no i forgot the name for the fear of godlike things so i went "haha divinephobia" and thought it sounded cool
anyways
i got more on diamond meanings
theres
this whole thing
https://www.eternalsymbols.com/a-global-and-an-eternal-symbol/
Show us 
so many words for a shape thats like 2 triangles slapped together when 2D,,,
Ohh thankies :>
all meanings I researched can be applied to the game
yes
Likely, i always think they choose diamond symbol because it can symbolize a star
but it's a big text, I'll complile it later to a doc and send here for anyone intereted

👁👁
please, remind me to do it, or my goldfish brain will forget
i'd remind you but i'll def forget to
XDDDDD
On the light child Ginko posted, the diamond looks raised
What if that means there is actually a diamond of some kind in the light kid?
Oh pyre, i wanna ask
In the rhythm bird, is the name Saltar or Saltare?
@short owl we have a single diamond shaped pattern on our chest
its more of an oval shape
There is a difference between a raised and a painted shape though
What about on our mask forehead?
I think it's <o> ,
Cape?
Hold on, which picture we are talking about now-
Man, i missed lot of stuff 
same
Hm, looks like we do have a diamond under the circle
#lore-discussion-spoilers message also this for raised diamond
oh gods, are skids powered by power diamonds?! 
very big hmm
Well you could see a very faint diamond shape on their chests with default cosmetics
seasonal pants are good for your freedom
/ anyways
/ i remember someone saying if we take out a white candle the <0> disappears?
/also in concept arts the capes's stars also looks like this <0>
the red ones too
<0> is the king 
So that means whenever we're friending someone we are basically trusting them our hearts👁️👄👁️
yes
as in a literal heart
/that;s cute
This can be a good base for terracotta skids theory
The theory : skids are actually terracotta/clays statues (the same kind like terracotta soldiers in china) that made to revive the sky kingdom after it demise. The statues are activated in long future with the power of light
My mind cannot be contained blue 
/buy ts pants means wasting all our hearts
goob n o
BRICKY
what ?


did- did something happen ?
No
/ ~~idk ~~
We just happy you back 
we just love you

We all love you
/ tbh that's sounds supicious
What are we talking about
on my bus ride to school i had so many thoughts but i must Contain because beta content
/ argh that;s why we dont go into beta
Alright, imma sneep to make sure my cursed thoughts dont come out here
/ yourr brain will explode
See ya, lore crabs 
did someone say crab
good
hide the cursed
So based on terracotta skids theory, and the fact we have a diamond/candle as our heart...
Well, our purpose is to relive the kingdom then lol

So based on terracotta skids theory, and the fact we have a diamond/candle as our heart...
Well, our purpose is to relive the kingdom then lol
bad idea is written all over this
well since you referenced the terracotta warriors, it could also be to protect something, or someone, on their journey through the afterlife
I wish that emote was a in game thing
/well who scattered light around for us to turn into candles then?
/that must have been on purpose
i feel like that’s megan
« hère children, have some treats »
/ yea and burn yrselves while treating
or maybe that was just left there since the end of the world
/ ah also the candle has a heart in the middle
?
?
or maybe that was just left there since the end of the world
Ngl i agreed with this
/uhhh i'm jussting adding about candles= hearts
You know, when we light our red candle, the flash turn into heart shaped?
Well
Its in white too
But y tho
So its like connecting two candle = connecting two hearts
Since this game based on social interaction, i guess it makes sense
I see 
/ and the white candle is just bigger heart!
So
Red candle = part of our heart
White candle = our whole heart
We all just walking candles covered in cosmetics then 
/and buying from ts is sacrificing our hearts
Or... maybe we like giving a part of our life energy to them?
Like, we kinda share our energy as the living for the dead so they can feel/memorize how is it to live again-
Uh yeah i do my best on wording that

/if white candles are ourr hearts then what are ascended ones
As their gratitude, they giving us stuff so we didnt looks like generic walking candle 
Or so we can be more creative and differentiate ourself from the other skids
have u noticed how red candles are always moving, like they are scattered every day and we put them out from inside our cape and so on
while white candles stay in the same place or only move slowly and seldom? like they only move during friendship transactions?
Maybe they represent different kinds of relationships?
Ascended candles... i see it as a token of gratitude from the eden statues? Like, we are releasing them from their rock body prison so they can go back to the stars
And we can use the ACs to bring the ancestors spirits to the star
How is that work? Im... still thinkin on it
Like, why it needs specific candles?
i was thinking the red candles r portable like laptops, and white candles are semi portable like desktops
Why we cant just use our candles to help the ancestors back to the stars?
i was thinking the red candles r portable like laptops, and white candles are semi portable like desktops
Now thats an interesting analogyaltho i cant imagine we befriend someone by showing them a whole pc desktop

red candles are always moving, like they are scattered every day and we put them out from inside our cape and so on
while white candles stay in the same place or only move slowly and seldom. like they only move during friendship transactions.
i was thinking the red candles r portable like laptops, and white candles are semi portable like desktops
so the white candles r bulky and easy to break
the red ones r less so
Red are good for just passing by, with a strong immediate emotional connection that doesn't last.
White are good for paths crossing for a time, and are good for coordinating with others.
Orange are for opportunistic relationships, like that kid you become BEST FRIENDS with while they are on your team in a competiton, but don't expect to actually remain such afterwords.
Only AC red are good for long lasting relationships.
so the white candles we light up at temples are the elders hearts?
food for thought
Now that might be the reason why im not easy to give anyone my white candle-
/ stingy
Nah... its just some of the player i give my candles to never went online again...
/to give out your white candle you actually lose sth
so how about the theory that we use red candles to carry wax
and white candles to channel the power of the wax
/on average you need at least 3-5 minutes to gain a candle
have fun theorising 
/boooi gink
how about the theory that we use red candles to carry wax
and white candles to channel the power of the wax
/chill pyre we saw that dont have to post it twice
sorry
g i n k
its just so easy to scroll away and dissapear
when its on top
so i kinda posted it below....
The power of wax?
so like friendship transactions
think of wax as data, and us as pcs
we need a phone to carry the data around
which r the red candles
oh man that sucked
imma think of a new analogy
/ how about one with skids as bottles and wax as gatorade
lets just say that the reds can preserve the wax
and the whites can both preserve and link it to us
?
Ah nvm, im just doing some bottle and wax analogy

Im gonna delete that
didnt wnat to get into anither trouble again

and the reason the whites can both preserve and transfer is because the whites are solidified wax
oooooooooooooh
i thought of the perfect analogy
reds are glass cups
whites are ice cubes
and wax is water
right?!
Ohh i see 
yes yes yes
i did it
i am the analogy master!!!!!!!!!!
now all we need to do is figure out what ascended candles are....
the lights u run through in orbit could be molten chocolate
and the ACs are chocolate bars
!
OMG i wish my AC was chocolate.....
A theory of mine :
ACs are token of gratitude from the statues we have released from eden. They give those to us not only to bring the ancestors back to the orbit, but also to give us a chance to be more closer with our friends
Oh yesss chocolate candle 
A theory of mine :
ACs are token of gratitude from the statues we have released from eden. They give ut to us not only to bring the ancestors back to the orbit, but also to give us a chance to be more closer with our friends
@bitter shale wait didnt we already banish those weird blue spirits back to where those nature destroying idiots came from?
Which spirits?
in other words didnt we already bring the ancestors back to orbit?
Yeah
/also it is plausible
/the isle constellation only had 3 ancestors but the drawings always depicts 4???
@gilded fossil but there are additional dots/stars in every Realms constellation (which bugged me for a while during my moth weeks). Maybe they will be new spirits?
yup
Ah, well... thats where my theory's flaw is
Altho we already relieve their spirit, they kinda like... stuck in the earth? And ACs is like their token to go back to orbit, also so tehy can revisit the earth to watch us on our journey
Yeah tahts how i intrepeted it-
Aren't AC given by the spirits and is just a way to upgrade the emotes
Those can be touched and interact without output
@boreal nebula yes! Finally someone did notice it! And yeah i agree with your saying, i think tehy gonna add a new spirits for the future
/maybe they had to leave corpes behind
ACs are given by stores to make our homes less hot
/like in buddhism, your corpse stay but your mind flies
@trim vale not really. Did you remember that we are given winged buff from the spirits we gave our ACs?
Oh yeah
i think ACs are given as a reward for saving so many s kids
Likely, winged buff are their gratitude to us, since we kinda like "open" their way to orbit by giving them ACs
Well yeah, it is
Likely, winged buff are their gratitude to us, since we kinda like "open" their way to orbit by giving them ACs
@bitter shale oh yeah
wowza whats goin on in here
/candles
Ascended candles and what purpose they carry
Uh
Yeah
We are talkin about candles
but why do wave/cry have 2ACs
probs holds somethin valuable
what is archangels
ya like one step before normal angel i think
something like that
idk im not religious ha
me too
I have a question that might break the lore channel.....
when someone ascends a spirit and someone else doesnt
is the spirit ascended?
like i didnt ascend most of my spirits because eden runs are scary
but there r many ppl out there that ascended all their spirits
are the spirits, from the spirit`s point of view, ascended?
thats a big brain question
Huh, now you are asking a good question there 
the thing is..... this is where sky lore crumbles
But since sky kid (kinda) canonly alone... maybe they did got ascended
Yeah
It can destroy lot of theories here
because the only way out is to say this game is single player
and that just isnt true
i see ascending spirits more like adding them to your close friends list (on insta) uk. So like its a relative thing. If you give AC you become besties(lol) and get access to more stuff
kinda wack analogy but 
ok that is a great way out
i was wrong
but that would mean ascension as we previously thought and ascension in sky reality is vastly different
I think to really ascend a spirit, we have to buy all of their stuff
Yea
but then again there r ppl who have bought all the stuff
and there r ppl who havent
I kinda like to think that buying all stuff from a spirit = learning all of knowledge that spirit posses
sooooooo
@fossil oxide exactly why its wack
i think that even before ascension the spirits r home
Since there is some game mechanics that need to coorperation
i think that even before ascension the spirits r home and ascension just means better connection
like breakng the clouds that block your transmission
kinda like wifi
if we break the signal blocking clouds we can buy stuff with weaker connections to the ground(?)
Ascension is maybe giving them more of a sort of material form
thus why they are able to give buffs only then
it strengthens their sorta...being
makes them more of a something than nothing
spirits r dead remember?
Yes
maybe we could tweak that a bit
and make it so that the thing that strengthens is our connection to the spirits
What I’m getting at is a random spitball about their transcendent state and ‘what do ascandles do?’
brain thinking
‘maybe it makes them slightly more material’
I know they’re ghosts but
Here's an answer: we are all the same skid at different times in our journey
ok so my theory is that when we save spirits they go high in to the air
in to orbit
and there are many layers of clouds between the spirits and us now
some more than others like the crying and waving spirits
by purchasing ACs we cut holes in the clouds and strengthen our
phsykic(?) connection....
i thinkthis makes the most sense
/ i remember someone saying if we take out a white candle the <0> disappears?
/also in concept arts the capes's stars also looks like this <0>
@gilded fossil that' probably was me... Sorry for ping, I am a late/backtrack reader 😅
What is the reason of the spirits giving us their things, though?
they tell u how to make the things
Time loops are messy so our experiences aren't exactly stable, but the entrance and exit points of the wobble are the same (all spirits and elders safe in Orbit), so it works out
u know how all the cosmetics r your imagination?
Kind of passing down their presence
And because we showed them love by befriending them so they help us on our journey
@fossil oxide wait elaborate on what you mean
A bit like a friend doing ur nails
so if u share red candles with a stranger
u see them
thats because the s kid tell u what he or she looks like
and now u see it too
by using your s kid imagination
So kind of everything is visionary
So it’s kinda of like sheading light on what one would look like,
Ah
the colors and patterns
are the imagination
the cosmetics without light is like greyish white
because they r made of light
the pattens and colors r imaginations
So losing that light kind of wrecks the ‘visions’ of yourself and others?
yup
But they’d still hold there shape? I see the thing with color but what about shape and others can see cape shape depending.
Ah that makes sense
but what about the pants.....
oh....
nice
I’m still confused about pants tho
lets just hope the other pl read it
We could make a poster
pants and hair is pure imagination
Hmm yes, or lack there of depending
We could make a poster
@ornate apex pls do
I shall try
i would love it
poster of what?
the pants?
the cosmetic truth
ah ok haha
Which includes pants
pun unintended.....
Same
so in a nutshell the cape shape is maintaines and controlled by the wing buffs and winged light
the other cosmetics and the cape colors and cape patterns are imagination
and the images can only be transfered by candles
This is the time when im tempted to write theories based on beta content and end up posting them on beta general 
wheeze-
Oooof
But oh well, i shall repost the whole pharagraph after beta content went to live
if i still remember what the theory is-
I regret looking in the beta channel... I tapped on the wrong channel and I'm just 
Why have I done this to myself?
/ you need a brain cleanser for 4 candles and 1 heart alice?
I collapsed the beta category, so it's harder to do that
I'll be fine. I have a YouTube backlog of videos so I'll forget eventually
Alright, I collapsed the beta category and muted it for good measure
Hmm... I wonder if we could talk the mods into adding a "beta channel" role that's needed to see beta channels
But that's a thing for #contact-the-mods
has anyone actually ever made a theory about the rain and swim thing?
/what do all 4 of the animals have in comon ????
The forest rain is acid rain 
/do bats have leggs??
They... do, actually
English is weird man
Hmm... Land animals?
I forgot did means past thing
Also bats hang from their legs
woah floating spiders
... Spiders have eight legs
unless theyre actually arms 👀
lol idk
i didnt even know what they were to begin with
Without linking to beta content (lets just forget beta exist for a while, okay??), here is my theory of the animal symbolizing
Turtle mask : the only water animal, but also can breath at land. Likely they symbolizing adaptation? Longevity?
Bat mask : the only animal that can fly here. Freedom?
Spider mask : the only animal that... can climb? Tbh im clueless with this one
Lion mask : animal that always feared but also become the symbol of might and bravery
Arms have hands, legs have feet. Therefore, spiders have legs.
SPIDERS HAVE FEET???
Spider have... arms?
oh no
Look man, i dont wnat to imagine a legless spider slithering like a snake chasing me around
It already creepy
/they live for very long then?
/i thought they were the top list of feared animals, but then who's afraid of a turtle???
So we assuming the masks are turtle, bat, spider and lion
What are those 4 animals do with a propechy?
/turtles live very long
/i thought they were the top list of feared animals, but then who's afraid of a turtle???
I mean, turtle can bite off your finger if they want sooo
/oh most common house pét- wait who keeps a lion as a pet???
me
/common animals seen in zoos-no wait spiders arent...
I miss you lore gang. What we talking about
/what the 4 animal in new seasons is
A prophecy that will live long enough/be remembered by so many generation (turtle), whispered by the words of many (bat), but only those who have might to discovered the truth from that prophecy (lion)
/without having beta
wait where does the spider come in?
/oh oh i know, endangered species
I'm a beta player so I can't talk stuff that's why I missed you guys. Hugs
i dont know you but i missed you too
/ get cuffs in case ryuu got looose
chain em up
Haha. Anyway i have my initial lore. Can't wait to share it soon
Okay for now we assume spider symbolize fear
"A prophecy that will live long enough/be remembered by so many generation (turtle), whispered by the words of many with their twist and slip of tongue (bat), but still succeeded to cast fear for a long line of a generation (spider). Only those who blessed with might and bravery will discovered the truth from that prophecy (lion)"
/spider can also symbolize money
Gib me you mulla
/if we look into eastern
oh nice cant wait to go to the bank to turn in my spiders
Hahaha
/ i think they mean wealth and not ...litteral money
Also spider i think symbolises calmness, patience, tactic and fierceness
/they eat their babies
Hahaha eat babies
/when they ran out of food

/guys
/what they have in common the 4 animals
/they all eat their babies
/ wait not the turtle tho
unless
Nah man, sea turtle elave their eggs on a shore
The spider makes me think of Anansi
LOL
Who is a trickster
me am trickster
Anansi comes from the Akan religion, which is structured very similar to the setup in Sky
/oooh tell me môre
yos yos we interest
/do they have lions????
The ultimate good is ineffible and doesn't interact with humans
Anansi... are you perhaps talking about Anansi Boys novel written by Neil Gaiman?
And then there's a layer of gods that embody big cosmic forces like the sun and moon
And then there are minor gods like Anansi who intercede between the gods and humans
YO I THINK BLANCA ON TO SOMETHIN
"Akan religion is referred to as Akom (from the Twi word akom, meaning "prophecy")"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akan_religion
/aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
Now this is getting interesting-
And then there are ancestors

Who are treated like spirits or small gods, as in many other religions
Anyway, that's it, really


on the wiki it also says "The Nsamanfo are the ancestors. They are sometimes referred to as ghosts. "
But spider + African megafauna (lion) made me think of Anansi is all
bro youre a genius
Wait blanca, where did you know about Anansi?
It makes me think that Akan was an influence, if not of the whole cosmology, at least the upcoming season
Now we might be know one of the biggest inspiration for the world of sky-
might be
Huh. I don't remember, probably from a children's story?
Hum
it reminds me of one of Neil Gaiman's novel Anansi Boys
And then there is a book titled Anansi the Spider
"Anansi Kokuroko ("the great designer" or "the great spider")" --wikipedia
Oh yeah the Neil gaiman one is about an African god named Anansi as well
I think it was Anansi the Spider, but I don't remember if it's from my childhood or my kids'
I haven't read Anansi Boys, but I have read American Gods, and Anansi is in there
But this is probably going off topic
i havent read those two books, actually

School sucks-
Anyway
Yeah, your point about Anansi is a genius move
Especially since this is about the season of prophecy
I might need to research more about Anansi and Akom religion as well
ya ya look at the wiki its wild how many similarities it has with sky and the season
Hi y'all
Is there a doc on the topic of spirits' relationship with each other?
Here we can see that the twirl emote, the proud stance and the other one are friends and this made me curious on others
I'm kind of thinking they went around borrowing stuff from animistic cosmologies for the whole game
@primal verge maybe, ill check for ya
Hey, I found these statues in orbit 
nice statues
If we connect some part of Akan religion (source from wikipedia) to Sky deities :
Megabird
- "Akan cosmology consists of a senior god who generally does not interact with humans and many gods who assist humans."
- "Followers of Akan religion believe in a supreme god who created the universe. He is distant and does not interact with humans."
Elders
- "The abosom, the lower deities or spirits, assist humans on earth."
- "Abosom receive their power from the creator god and are most often connected to the world as it appears in its natural state."
Ancestors
- "The Nsamanfo are the ancestors. They are sometimes referred to as ghosts."
Who are they depicting? 
I'm pretty sure we don't see them anywhere else, and the patterns seem really interesting
(also, I'm sorry Flos for interrupting your Akan religion comparison
)
No no its fine!
Someone will scroll up and read what i have written lol, dont worry too much
I think it's interesting how the statues seem to be holding a diamond 
And there's only 2
Also for the statues.. they ahve the same headpiece like the one spirit from vault
I think tehy are vault scholar?
That's most likely to be the case
@primal verge i wasnt able to find anything but i may have missed it sorry
yo what if the eye of eden is a giant power diamond or whatever
and it like
cracked open
The hardest part about this season is gonna be figuring out exactly who’s origin story this is @_@, I don’t expect them to give us a clear cut cutscene
@proper mirage it's okay((( thanks for taking the time and doing it
may megabird double your hearts

Likely the prince/king, or skykid
I like to think this prophecy is about the final fate of the prince/king and how we came up
If that’s the case, the sky kid is maybe centuries old
stop making me more excited for the season
Also for the statues.. they ahve the same headpiece like the one spirit from vault
I think tehy are vault scholar?
The question here is: why a vault scholar?
Thats the big question too tbh
What if that place was originally vault? Before it got destroyed
Forbidden knowledge
there does seem to be lots of diamonds in the vault
maybe they brought it there?
