death isnt permanent then
Its more like you're reborn
You can't prove they CAN die, as in permanent-
/hmm okay
important things to the world of sky are left imprinted, like spirit memories
maybe if you didnt leave an imprint, you died permanently
And WL/Shiny Bois, which are often called "Imprints of the Child of Light"
/ is bluestone new btw
anyone think that spirits were never alive. they are created as spirits. since they go about normal life: e.g. travelling spirits selling freaking spells
So if what we're experiencing are the memories of spirits, did they die?
/ what's the deffinition of imprints
So if what we're experiencing are the memories of spirits, did they die?
@dense dawn they all did
but their souls stay
Cause they spirits
becaus ethey imprinted the world
e.g. travelling spirits selling freaking spells
/over price
Pretty much souls
So if they died, why? And where did they go? To orbit?
in the help section of ancestor spirits
its says ancestors are OUR ancestors
whihc means
we are evolved spirits
/eh??? pic tho?
or whatever they were before deth
An evolved form? Probably not, but it's likely we're sort of a new-generation form of ancestors
Maybe
Ancestors 3 : electric boogalo 2
/ skids are pokemon
Skids are meant to be a new generation, based from what the devs said, soooo...
/ also "each kingdom???"
I think that means realms
the realms are kingdoms
Not a seperate Kingdom like Sky
yall keep talking about canon from glyphs and devs
u forgot about help section canon
Realms are the kingdoms of the elders
the elders rule them
Yeah
the ancestors were the founders though
/ well what would that make king then
But they are also conjoined to create one mega Kingdom; Sky
/ well what would that make king then
@gilded fossil bad boi
/ well what would that make king then
@gilded fossil ya know in th us the states have governors?
/would that mean that king is just another outsider?
/aaaah
each kingdom
/gatoroid
and then king got dark
The mention of this... Makes me think that maybe the Prince was meant to be a new generation of the Elders, while we're meant to be a new generation to the Ancestors?
guys ever think since Teth is obviously the builder of the elders
Well why is prarie and valley peaceful then?
but the google play/appstore description states one desolate kingdom
Prairie*
/argh confussing!!!
but the google play/appstore description states one desolate kingdom
@hushed steeple trust the game more than the seller
but they are the seller
And they made it
/well, we're not sure if devs wrote the help section
Yeah, the desolate Kingdom is Sky. The realms/"kingdoms" are more like states-
Ooh, Jen has a point
/well, we're not sure if devs wrote the help section
@gilded fossil who else would've lol
/maybe they got someone else writing it
might be just PR
the help section in the game
The mention of this... Makes me think that maybe the Prince was meant to be a new generation of the Elders, while we're meant to be a new generation to the Ancestors?
go to any constellation
and go to
the help button in top corner
tells ya how to play the game but also has
the our ancestors part
maybe the reason we are able to relive ancestor spirits memories is because we are related to them
/see, the text in ggplay seems to be handled bu the pr team, not devs, it is likely that the help section was too
its a family trait
As far as i know, the UI is part of the game mechanics section.
/see, the text in ggplay seems to be handled bu the pr team, not devs, it is likely that the help section was too
@gilded fossil WELL AT LEAST I CONTRIBUTED SOMETHING
/ oooh i like that theory
Yes, they were our ancestors, but not by blood maybe.
/ chill pedro i mean no harm sorry
sorry 😦
Yes, they were our ancestors, but not by blood maybe.
/by clay
The correct word for it is "predecessor"
Goober has a point too
/pont
Please stop poking at me with my spelling mistakes-
maybe the Ancestor spirits trained the elders to take their place as leader of each kingdom/realm, and then retird to their respective areas
I type fast
My guess is, the ancestors did create us, but not in organic way
Uhhh
Sorta like build us?
cave of prophecies, sanctuary, ark etc.
...The elders are literal gods Pedro
Yes, but they're ancestors
i saw a timeline here
mortals
/nah megan tho
My timeline isn't canon.
What timeline? Concept timeline? Not canon
They are the faleln stars
But i get your point. The ancestors might be the one who teach the elder how to live on earth etc
/ shoulda made it flashy with rainbows
you're welcome.
They do sound mechanical, probably because of their carapaces
Ooh, people theorized that here too
power diamonds are literally generators
That they were machines
When reika barraged us with cursed krills we can see their underbelly is actually smooth
lemme finish omg
/ goob no
krills could've been shells created by mortals or elders
then a power diamond put in the eye area
brought them to life
It would help for you to type in your theory all in one message so it wont get split to pieces 
Yeah
either they became sentient or are being controlled by someone dark
there done
also in the canon lore doc it says crab walkcycles are important
whos gonna ovlunterr for krebb watching duty
volunteer
/ pedro, also have you seen the googly krill?
/ goober may us have the googly eyes krill
But this is TGC tho. Story was vague, even for Journey
ok to clear things up lets think up some things we know are true
I dont play Journey, but that's what ppl told me
that picture gives me nightmares
say somethings that are supported by a lot of evidence
/yep
orbit constellation is fav friend constellation
Journey's ost had a major part in its lore, we think it also might be the case for Sky. But at the moment we can't figure out the conlang yet.
the king isnt dead
Yeah but at least journey had a clear mission; go to the top of the mountain
but trapped indefinetly
Oh, I have the Prince related to Skid theory, and it has about 9 pieces of evidence-
/well, technically, that's just butterfly's theory
Sky doesn't state what 'return the stars' actually is
the king isnt dead
ehm got any proof?
/no one never came and confirmed the fav friend constelation
ehm got any proof?
@kind bobcat devs said hes not able to be saved not ded
The idea of the king being imprisoned indefinetly falls into theory/headcanon lore
how would literally most powerful being DIE
He's not to be saved anymore, that could mean he's dead dead
wait oop smegabird
in the intro the stars are referred to as the elders so i guess it would mean our goal is to return the elders back to orbit 
/well, that could mean ded too, pedro
Evidence that Sky kid is related to Prince
- Skid's constellation (Fave friend constellation) is the exact same as Prince/King's Eden Constellation
- All the Elders bow down to us in that same cutscene. (Maybe in Orbit too if you look at it in one way)
- King's Constellation is literally called "The Light". Prince/King is probably the Child of the Light. Which is a character we're connected to and have a relationship with-
- On our chest where the glowing dot is, there's a faded diamind symbol. The Elders' symbol
- "Sky kids and Elders are not the same or different species"
- Prince looks like an skid. Always does in Concept art.
- We resemble the Prince in murals from intro
- GW Elder treats us like riyalty in old Beta cutscene
- Concept art Prince has intricate designs that may resemble old Beta capes (which were only changed for technical reasons)
yes im back hello
Here it is
/none of the theories could have been true
Evidence that Sky kid is related to Prince
- Skid's constellation (Fave friend constellation) is the exact same as Prince/King's Eden Constellation

@thin dirge number one eden's constellation isnt fav friend constellation
It's the eden constellation.
please don't quote long messages
Maybe.
Does canon comfirm that there is actually a king and prince?
Orbit is officially called the light
the fav friend constellation is called the light
check the canon lore doc cast
Does canon comfirm that there is actually a king and prince?
@dense dawn King? Yes.
Prince? No
omg why is it so hard for you guys to understand
Then why does everyone assume there is a prince?
exactly
I dunno pedro, could be you're the one who doesnt understand 
Pedro, this isn't meant to be some debate whether which is canon or not
I dunno pedro, could be you're the one who doesnt understand
@kind bobcat what proof is there that eden has any connection to fav friend constellation
emphasis on "kind of"
fr gimme proof
Mabe the prince and the king are the same being but the prince is the king in a weakened state
@rapid pollen vault murals.
/yea
@rapid pollen vault murals.
@kind bobcat pictures
The lore of Sky is made vague so that people could have their own interpretation, without it being right or wrong
gimme pictures
/pedro hold on imma fetch pics
Hold on, lemme get them.
Lore chat is not for debate whether it is canon or not, its to share ideas about headcanons and theories
That's the purpose of lore chat
omg wth
/yes
/i can say skids are made out of Gatorade and no one can stop me
Wow I had no idea. It all makes sense now.
Looks like a crown.
Whats ur point
no
the crown is one level and has three points
eden is multiple and has a lot more points
clear difference
The crown literally turned to a drawing of eden
Yeah
h lol
Anyone else notice an odd mix of singular and plural in Reika's statement?
i still think orbit's constellation is that one
Then, it is, for you.
Why not both
But personally, for me it's eden.
my theory is that we can't see eden's constellation because of the fall of eden. i believe its stars were darkened
So do we get a story where eden gets rebuilt?
aight brb nature calls
to think, i didnt even know sky had lore until the survey
asked if we understood the llore
Yesn't
its been made vague for us to know the story just as butterfly has been saying
we'll slowly find out
We have to wait two years for a complete history book.
we are free to theorise for now so nothing much is confirmed
therefore please do not take nor state theory as factual evidence and impose it on others 
spicy apples will get beaned
... Wut
term "spicy apples" is courtesy of krilltjn
Ah
TL;DR : don't tpose on other theorists with your theories or you'll get beaned

Do the sky kids we save in Eden go back to the stars or are those the new sky kids getting reborn with another chance at life?
hm we don't know, but for me i think they go back up to the stars since they don't pass through the rebirth gate like us
^im slow but what res said. it shows that in the cutscene
Oh yeah. We eat their souls for candles.
Also how many of the ancestor spirits can you get from Eden? Is there one for each elder spirit? Or is it a different number cap?
there’s no ancestor spirits in eden
We get them to strengthen our cape just before going back.
oh, you mean wing buffs ?
that deosnt count as canon or lore
this is heavily confirmation biased, you can not just discredit information about the game without proof that it isn't an official source or not attributes to lore. everything is lore until proven otherwise not the other way around. are GDC talks and other interviews not official canon because they are not representative of in-game content, no they are representative of a timeframe of development which is canonical, from there we can infer shifts in lore given the basis.
Yeah. They say "ancestor spirits strengthen your flight" or something right as you're returning. You get them right after collecting the Eye of Eden candles.
everything is lore until proven otherwise not the other way around.
/gatoraaaaaaaaaade
i believe the current amount of wing buffs is dependent on the amount of current travelling spirits that have come and gone, plus the base game WBs
Oh I see. Hm...
/
gatoraaaaaaaaaade
teletubbies
Whats the current cap? I'm only at 3 so far since I'm kind of new to the game.
this doesn’t sound lore related
if you want to look into wing buffs, maybe ask in #eden-spoilers ?
I mean it kind of is. Just wanna see if it's compared to TS or elder spirits.
/
gatoraaaaaaaaaade
well if the legal system was guilty until proven not guilty, there would be no considerable way to prove that one is truly innocent or simply constructed an illusion of innocence.
Might be a non-lore mechanic though. I dunno.
Compared to ? what do you mean ?
Elders don’t give wing buffs, if that’s what you’re asking
Okay so ancestor spirits = traveling spirits confirmed?
travelling spirits are ancestor spirits
o are you relating this to why we only have 7 cheese wedges (iirc) in eden?
travelling spirits aren’t their own « type » of spirit
they’re just ancestor spirits from old seasons
/oh also wired have you seen moff doc???
Does that mean our character is carrying the traveling spirits and they don't want to go back to the stars?
/ ~~ah hah the moff doc lord has gone
~~
Does that mean our character is carrying the traveling spirits and they don't want to go back to the stars?
/wait wdym
we still see the traveling spirits we ascended in orbit flying
base ancestor spirits are sent to the sky after you meditate at the temple. seasonal and ts goes up right after you relieve their memories
/ guys for 1 sec my brain saw ginsy and then thought "ah res is here"
i am res
How come we keep their souls with our cape then?
how many res's are there..
res noises
How come we keep their souls with our cape then?
/we dont?? maybe we do???
wired i like to think of wing buffs as a gift from the spirit
theres two spirits ingame where you can ascend them twice though, so thats the thing where im iffy on “the buffs are their souls”
/ wired you havent told me if you have seen moff doc yet tho
theres two spirits ingame where you can ascend them twice though, so thats the thing where im iffy on “the buffs are their souls”
/who has 2 wing buffs again?
/maybe they have 2 souls
I have. It was just the page with the few definitions on it. I read that and The Vault.
I always assumed they were doing a play on the Buddhist guides who sacrifice Nirvana in order to make sure every single living thing reaches enlightenment first.
#sky-memes @fossil oxide
/ pyre that's for sky memees
oh sorry
Morning crew, what we Lorin’ about?
wing buff i guess
heya 
Bodhisattva. That's the word I'm thinking of.
I’m literally just waking up. Eyes still half shut. But let’s do this! What about winged buffs?
Bodhisattva. That's the word I'm thinking of.
/oh explain?
(in Mahayana Buddhism) a person who is able to reach nirvana but delays doing so out of compassion in order to save suffering beings.
/ res i do have to inform that ginsy tried to pretend to be you
no ginsy is actually me it's ok jen no need to be alarmed
this is my alt
ginsy has always given me res vibes now im 
(in Mahayana Buddhism) a person who is able to reach nirvana but delays doing so out of compassion in order to save suffering beings.
/what nirvana
Oh my god what?
/ ~~so that's why???? my brain told me???? you feel like res??? ~~
In this game is seems to be ascending to the stars where their souls/spirits are released.
(Insert dragonballZ reference of Goku and vegeta doing the joining as one dance here)
/ah, so you mean we;re the bodhisattva
Mhm. They are stuck in the cycle of reincarnation for eons.
/so we choose to help?
Yeah. Bodhisattvas have to endure life after life after life until every single thing has reached enlightenment.
Okay I need some idea of the canon -ness of the reincarnation bit of the game play...
/what nirvana
@gilded fossil nirvana is basically heaven
guys im in eden at 6 light left and im not getting hit by any rocks
ill see if i can get some statue pics and stuff
/oooh nice
nope no statues where i am 😦
who knows? maybe i am giving ginsy vibes instead
anyway i briefly searched up some of the terms since i'm not that well versed in buddhism
this idea of reincarnation from buddhism might denote that we are constantly trying to become perfect/achieve our goals/let go of the bad stuff basically
if i go out to look ill die
i found a yt video that shows eden with no rocks cuz glitch
ill put it here
Yeah. They believe life is suffering and pain. The way to end it is to reach Nirvana which breaks the cycle and you no longer get reincarnated.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvKi4QwhqkA watch this and take pictures they show eden before the rocks
also the glitch to do it
you need warp
and friends
Only thing is our characters die so young. I dunno if it's just because of the game asthetic or if it's purposely that morbid.
Yeah. They believe life is suffering and pain.
/i cant agree more
And we have to regularly be making these horrifying trips as 8-year-olds for a reason.
pretty old glitch
Well the sacrifice of a child means so much more than the sacrifice of an adult
And we have to regularly be making these horrifying trips as 8-year-olds for a reason.
/who let a child do this
i found a statue in eden i ss
two actually
they are the same
they look like scholar hat ppl
I don’t think think the game canon is supposed to include and endless amount of reincarnations
looking at it more, it's very sad that skids are sent out and their sole purpose is to sacrifice themselves and die
like they're literally just born and boom it's time to go and die 😔
@rapid pollen ohh yeah those two
Yeah. Eden is attached to the library. That's the kingdom The Vault was trying to document knowledge from.
But I don’t think they are just born.
I think they are the prince reincarnated
aight glowy boi time
It could be a kingdom in ruins due to a horrible father and the son is now paying the price and trying to make things right.
So this short life is only one aspect of their life cycle
So the son is now stuck in eternal suffering trying to right the wrongs.
Of his father.
that's what i think too oz
it can be like the prince being reborn many times x the 50 million downloads sky accumulated
But I have a hard time with the loop idea....
/ survey seems to bring us plenty of people huh i've met 5 new faces this week
ok im in ascent taking pic
The cutscenes don’t make sense with the additional reincarnations
Which cutscenes
Alllllll of the cutscenes
What exactly are skykids? Fallen stars?
What exactly are skykids? Fallen stars?
/gatorade
i found soem gates look like eden gats but king-sized
they’re skykifs
Why would your reincarnation break daleth’s face again?
/ finally im here when someone ask it
oh boi pedro are you in for a treat lemme grab my vid
the giant gate is a biig king gate
im in the part with the what I call Elder Jellies
Cutscenes are just memories, I thought.
They show us what the elders were doing with their people.
Why don't they make sense to you?
Not for the elders, their cutscenes where they thank you
Oh. When everyone ascending in Eden?
They show us what the elders were doing with their people.
Is that mean... Teth smacking people with their hammer-

just hitched a ride with a manta in ascent
Look some elders had to beat people occasionally.
Don't judge them.
It's a harsh world out there.
elder cutscenes shows the present (we see us giving the flame) while spirit cutscenes shows the past
i judge teth shes probably the evil one
Also, why would the spirits of the ancestors, like the pointing spirit and the hand stand spirit that you’ve already brought to Megabird, be back at eden and flying back up to Megabird
???
So why would we continually have to give the elder’s flames 🔥?
For some reason
Oh yeah. That part I'm pretty sure is just so there is a game.
The ideal/realistic one would be that every time you finish Eden you return to new souls/people/lifetimes who need to be saved. But they can't produce like 7 new games a day.
I picture is as
That doesn’t seem natural. It seems. Like a glitch. An exact duplicate being replicated over and over. Something feels off about that explanation being true.
One cycle is the first expansion. And then we loop back to the start to replay.
We are created to suffer
And once they come out with the next expansion that's our second life.
let's play: is rebirth game mechs or lore? 
Look man, if sky just ended straight after we reach orbit... that would be a very short game 
both
We'll see how they implement the expansion.
Yes, a short game. But is it mech or lore?
Question of the year
Just like how we asking if skids shadow a game mechanic or lore 
top 10 questions science cannot answer
The game isn't really about time travel/time loops. So I'm not getting any vibes that it's lore.
I like the idea of the expansion being the reincarnation but those cutscenes just make little sense after the 2nd 3rd 4th time around
/oh ho have you seen bricky's theory tho wire
That Eden is Father Time and we're trying desperately to go back far enough to stop our father from destroying the kingdom we were meant to inheret?
why sky kids shadows don't have their cape shadow?
personally for me why its both is because im really into bloodborne and that game's lore and game mechanic is in a loop which is exactly whats happening to sky
thats a game mech thing emma haha
yep technical limitations, it'd be pretty hard to render the capes shadows i'd imagine
especially since they look they updated the capes
i did it
theylook more wrinkly

Yeah our characters base is seen in Eden without the cape.
.....
That's the part of the game model with the shadow.
/pyre looks like an onion ngl
It doesn’t feel like an endless loop of sadness and punishment is exactly opposite to Jenovachen’s ideology and purpose for making Sky?
would be a nightmare to follow the exact cape shadow down to the folds and wrinkles 
o ye pyre, what do the colours represent?
but the in universe theory is that the cosmetics r the s kids imagination
and by sharing the red candles the s kids tell each other what they look like....
im gonna follow mind control theory in this case; seems like megabird is ticked at alef stealing the flame
oh and i wrote the realm names.....
/ i say skids are just tupperware
ai tupperware
Buddhism believes that life is pain and suffering. Bodhisattvas are stuck in an endless loop of pain.
that goes and spilles some light here and there
Yeah but I’m asking if that ideology is in line with the creator’s explicit vision for Sky
prob not
Yeah. It's heavily inspired by Buddhism.
buncha skykids flying together
thats why i virtually live in sanc
and also
and prairie
u ever see
theres a bunch of those in teh sky
yes
its that
thats what i mean
This has probably come up, but like Eden is supposed to be paradise right?
It's actually because our characters don't have the appropriate glasses prescriptions.
This has probably come up, but like Eden is supposed to be paradise right?
@storm glacier the lore is that Eden fell
/ pyre and pedro both have a way of typing that's send every sentence, oh dear i read your theories as 1 mess
and it used to be paradise maybe
/
pyre and pedro both have a way of typing that's send every sentence, oh dear i read your theories as 1 mess
@gilded fossil fax
wasn’t built as a paradise but it was built in way better shape then it is now

@sly kestrel yes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvKi4QwhqkA watch this to see eden without the rocks and darkness and stuff
its fr
glitch thing and its actually beautiful
eden probably looked better than it does rn
we could have gotten disneyland but we have rockworld 😔
eden probably looked better than it does rn
we could have gotten disneyland but we have rockworld 😔
@solar relic bro watch the vid
Well.. I mean the matrix movies were inspired by Christianity, but it has an anti Christian message. You believe Jenova Secretly wants a story that contradicts his ideals of togetherness and the importance of selflessness? To be punished forever for an eternity ?
huh why did you ping me
nvm
It’s a glitch, jus bc there’s no rocks it don’t mean that’s what it supposed to look like and that’s the condition it was in before
Oh yeah I was just watching that vid
It’s a glitch, jus bc there’s no rocks it don’t mean that’s what it supposed to look like and that’s the condition it was in before
@sly kestrel i meant thats what it looks liek without rocks
I imagine it woulda been more green before falling
There’s still the red sky, broken architecture and depressing feel
And If the intro is right “a long time has passed” I’m pretty it means it has been crumbling and decaying for a really long time
yes i know
its from a person who glitched back to eden after death through warp
and friend
But
There was no good purpose in why they built eden, this is when the king and his followers corruption was at most
just thought we could lore theory off the statues and architecture bc we can see it clearer omg
/ they wanted more red bull
Oh yes
what else could have been powering the diamonds man, red bull was their well of power 😌
/also i thought gin has theory of the eden statues
That one theory about diamond eden was made to absorb megan's light 
like Tower of Babel story
There’s still the red sky, broken architecture and depressing feel
And If the intro is right “a long time has passed” I’m pretty it means it has been crumbling and decaying for a really long time
The sky is red because of solar eclipse
/oh yea show us your solar ecclipse theory
ooo i haven't seen that theory i think
sneep who? i need answers
me or who?
the myth of Rahu The Sun Eater
According to legend, during the Samudra manthan, the asura Rahu drank some of the amrita (divine nectar). The sun and moon realized it and alerted Mohini (the female avatar of Vishnu). Mohini cut off the asura's head before the nectar could pass his throat. The head, however, remained immortal due to the effect of amrita and became Rahu.
It is believed that this immortal head from time to time swallows the sun, causing eclipses. Then, the sun passes through the opening at the neck, ending the eclipse. The body also turned into Ketu due to a boon, and it in turn swallows the moon on timely basis to cause a lunar eclipse.
Well
The point is, what if The king actually try to "eat the sun"? On vault we can see a mural of eden elder holding a ball
its my crackpot theory which is:
the king is actually eating the orb instead of praying upward with the orb repenting something (because he wanted to replace megan)
sry had to dig said that a long time ago hah
Sun ehre is... more like how he tryna to get more power by absorbing light. He has done absrobing lights from light creatures, nd yet he seek for a bigger light
im now on my wl run after eden and im literally studying every glyph everywhere
So he try to absorb light from Megan
so in this case
rahu = king
drinking of amrita = his ambition for power
eclipse = result of this? inb4 king is in game but his head blocking the sun
i did have another (crackpot?) theory about the eden diamond too
i am back but maybe i shouldn't be because i spent 5 hours on here yesterday 😂
https://discordapp.com/channels/575762611111592007/632004389137154048/752426355009781771
in my personal theory the eden diamond is naturally occuring
i know that's the prince but the mask is similar shhh
yeah that's the moon/sun thing in eden being eclipsed
crackpot theory!! :aahhEyes:
What if they tried digging into the naturally existing eden diamond but their digging was a mistake because it caused the shatter + overflow = imbalance of light-darkness = annihilation due to their greedy mistake
does that mean
they dug their own grave :pPopcorn:
/it doees like an esclipes
does that mean
they dug their own grave
basically yes (ba dum tss)
/hello void
here's a better photo
oh lord i cannot unsee that leftmost skid and his anatomy 
skid gymnastics man 
so what lore are we discussing right now?
eden is in a freaking eclipse??
flos' theory about there being an eclipse in sky
pretty cool 
So how i can connect the Rahu myth with the creation of Eden diamond?
In the myth, Rahu stole a sip from divine nectar which will make you immortal. The King (as Rahu) try to get more light to get more power, so he build a giant diamond and use it to absorb Megan's light (divine nectar)
It did work, but then everything goes haywire. Megan's light that have been absorbed turned into a big chaos and soon become a storm that detroying the once beautiful country. (Sort as Rahu's demise)
the constellation sign
Its quite confusing, truly
second one he sent mantas
I need to think about this carefully 
pedro can you type your sentence as a whole so its doesnt get lost please?

take your time to work on it flos
i think it's a cool theory to expand on
Anywya i will go eat dinner. Talk to you guys later 
/gtg to byyyye

in chinese intro there’re two lines that caught my eye: “The Cloud Kingdom flourished and was destroyed. The stars have endured enough suffering”
so that means elders(?) and eden statues as shiny bois got repercussions from it?
they do seem weak and defeated before we give them the flame
do you have the whole translated chinese intro? i think that just refers to the elders since english intro has the stars as elders, i think chinese intro would do the same. but it depends on what the chinese intro says about the stars and elders altogether
i think its in the pins
i felt betrayed when i found out the english intro is slightly different
there will always be difference in language
and will always have things lost in translation
从前,天上有好多好多星星
有一天,他们却离开天空,
去云间建立了自己的国度
千百年过去了……
云之王国繁荣又毁灭
星星们已经受够了苦难
我的孩子,去寻找失落的群星,带他们回家吧……
Lambda direct translation:
Long [time] ago, there were many, many stars in the sky.
One day, they left the sky,
to build their civilization in the clouds.
Thousands of years passed,
the kingdom of sky [once] flourished and [was] obliterated.
The stars have endure enough suffering,
My child, go find the lost stars, and bring them home...
@willow shoal
credit to lambda
it didnt say the light is infinite
could be a translation thing, though it's done in-house direct translations aren't always possible
chinese to english is weird and so is english to chinese
oh, are we talking about the intro in different languages ?
in here its like megabird didnt cause this and wants us to reduce their suffering
she could be trying to do anything but can’t, or she is a neglectful mother who is unwilling to solve the problem herself
part of me is optimistic that the « darkness » just made megan weak so she couldn’t do anything about it
otherwise, it feels like she’s just watching the suffering for entertainment
i wonder how many else stars fell and created their kingdoms and made a mistake like the king? could there be a multi race of skykids?
what if losing the children of light made her weak and unable to balance the world. which is why she created us and we were able to ascend those Col back to her
Sky multiverse 
megan turns on tv time for my daily dose of the sky kingdom reality show
i just rationalize that she treats everything equally but isnt the soft kind, so she doesnt want to fix every mistake herself
… this server censors another s word that starts with “sad”
sky kingdom: everyones dying
megan: 
im not using it for nsfw purposes thou
even in sky chat that word is censored. dw about it
I mean, I'm pretty sure Megan is tired from fixing up the mistakes the elders and the king made, so she's just watching us frantically trying to fix it ourselves 
i dont think she also can understand the pain elders get from their mistake cuz shes a god
(i got this thought after a hollow knight meta writer states pale king doesnt think like human/common beings)
do y’all think megan is like the elders’ mom
thats what confuses me
y e s perhaps
megan is pretty much everyone's mom if you think about it
i wonder are these the only elders, there can be other sky kingdoms making the same mistakes yet we are sent here
its odd
at least that's my take on it if she creates literally everyone and everything
like God is our dad? lol
i define mom as a literal birthgiver
but as a mother figure? ... no
i see mom as a mother figure so u made my heart 💔
but one thing that made megabird oddly affectionate is out of every world in the kingdom, she sent us here
would there be other skykids fixing other realms
perhaps
that means a lot of realms got messed up 😔
ah i should go sneep now, happy theorising 
I'm not sure about this, but I think Megan is quite weak at this point. With all of the light vs darkness thing going on (and darkness having the upper hand), she's exhausted her energy (perhaps the reason why she's not helping us).
So we're not only trying to save the elders and restore the light, but also trying to save Megan 
Jelly Kingdom I rule it
Location: Hidden Forest, most jellies there
Come be a jelly we have fun.
basically yes noom 
yeah the cycle's broken
small new theory: skykids are descendants, literally the next gen of citizens living in world of ruins. this explains they are given the task to restore the light but not mandatory to do so
I'm a little late,
But yeah,
I think Megan is honestly just really tired. She's got other people to deal with, and plus, the kingdom kind of messed up!!!!
So she just. sent Skychildren down and was like "Call me when you're done"
But I've actually been thinking about the one phrase from the opening:
"Bring the lost stars home."
What does that even mean?
how many more messed up kingdoms are out there tho
are the realms the only realms out here?
the orbit
this is like the fermi paradox (iirc)?
We try to save them, but it's never permanent. Even if it was, we die in Eden, and never accomplish anything.
How are we supposed to bring the stars home, when it can't actually happen?
maybe sky kingdom is where the fallen stars resided and stay
so the main kingdom we focused on ia current one
mb megan just wants to connect elders with her again
But like
Even then
That suggests she wants to bring them home.
Bring the Elders through Eden, up to orbit?????
maybe megan wants the flame the prince stole back
@thorn trout maybe we are some kind of connector for the stars? like, we can meet the elders and show them the way to home but we cant actually bring back them to home
we are just showing them the way
empathically, she allows elders to stay in their realms and only demands to connect themselves with the light, maybe thats what it means to be home. its like seeing ur kid entering the workplace but just give them some means of contact
the elders are the one who can decide if they want to go home
Huh! Interesting.
...But now I'm envisioning them actually visiting Orbit and Megan and.
It's chaos
imagine the elders going up to megabird and say: i still dont wanna go home
then why are you back??
Megan: Oh hey, you're home
Elders: Yes. It's been so long
Megan: Cool. Glad to see it worked
Elder: ...Do you have anything else to say. This was very painful
Megan: Nope
lmaoo
Megan: You're traumatized? Cool!
Elders: THIS ISN'T FUNNY
man i wish we can interacted with the elders more
(Prince and the King) kind of exists, but we leave that up to you interpret their roles in the lore.
that is how i read it, if you consider Prince and the King different entities, the conjugation orexistdoes not make grammatical sense. @/ALD Productions#8129

how starved are we from lore to be looking for clues in grammar from the devs' messages? 
well i consider all messages devs write to have perfect grammar unless otherwise stated, so this must have significance
it is meant to be ambiguous
have fun theorising
bye 
am i just going insane?? or does this yield actual significance?
Could be both at this point ;;
But I'm also getting in the same boat as you, so...
i think i am so desperate for lore i am getting progressively more delusional
Yeah, I get you
The other day I was frantically running through the realms because I wanted to check something
Turns out that all of the "accessories" changing rooms have a stone arch and a golden floor (while none of the rest have it)
Is it lore-relevant? Who knows lmao
it also has the star thingy
Yeah, the sun/star symbol that also appears in the piers in prairie
I think that might be important, I just don't know how
there is nothing to theorize on because what we are theorizing on is a theory. so now we are crafting iterations of meta-theories, and the lore of sky is so vague, people have taken perspective on every detail which in turn expands the lore beyond its initial intent(the devs cannot confirm or deny this so we will never know), so adding all the meta-theories up and inter-dependencies and we get a book, a book about sky that never was meant to be...
I'll go compile the changing rooms 
the stages of a lore dweller, what stage are you all at?
- Excitement, happy to delve into the interesting story behind Sky
- Perseverance, the struggle to maintain theories and find new evidence
- 1st Crisis, questions on the foundational document and its accurate, finds out there is no proof and evidence on anything.
- Hiatus...
- Acceptance, accepts the vagueness of the backstory and project ones own interpretations
- 2nd Crisis, questions the theory of theories and meta-theories and their implications.
- Hiatus..............
- Philosophical, why are we here in the first place, what is our purpose
- 3rd Crisis, there is nothing worth exploring, worth theorycrafting, it is all just... one's interpretation and imagination, there is no story, this all is simply meaningless, empty............
Long time passes... A new update drops... the cycle repeats...
i'm in all phases at the same time
this is just a joke, but we really should have a better system for documenting theories
i feel you
im p much in stages of grief ya
I was discussing with a friend, that possibly the Dark Creatures, could be trying to get to Eden to either, feed off of its light, or another quite interesting possibility, may be that they are trying to be reborn themselves. What are your thoughts?

This probably has close to zero lore weight, but whatever 
Perhaps the symbol represents light?
And the accessories we use are actually just light, made into a certain form
also notice how vault doesn't have a changing room 

i like how they all have the symbol but prairie is just ⬛️

@next jasper I remember reading the concept art and it said all creatures return to the light (somehow)
Since orbit is THE light,they might be trying to reach that and escape the horrible fate they were in
But Eden said "lol nope"
Also Eden has like
No light
Darkness consumed-
It's ok

@hushed steeple
?
I was trying to reply to it
oh
But it seems to get deleted every time i send with my own text
you dont have to quote it
Wait I don't?
I thought that would give more context but ok
Also sorry for summoning you here
OH
I've never used that before..hmm
Thanks for sharing!
part of the messages*
you would have to do it manually though, it is easier on desktop
cries in mobile
I'm usually the one who just spits out theories without more than 2 evidences

OH THATS HOW PEOPLE DO IT-
yeah
you need a space after the >
Hi
I suspect I am stage 5.
anyways lore chat isnt for experimenting with markdown formatting
Ah right,sorry
I'm still at stage one-
I am at stage 1
i wonder what stage bricky is at
Bricky is lore god
Who knows
Re-did the thing
I had misspelled Docks and I couldn't unsee it 
Prairie is just a square
Ye
quadrilateral even
Wondering if they'll fix it soon
prob have
I wonder why only those "changing rooms" have a golden lined floor
I mean, those are some details I noticed, but I've got no idea why they're like that
noom what app did you used to made that
thansk friend
hehe prince / king symbol go brr
wait- that's true
i cant even see my own image but yeah im pretty sure tahts the right picture
It is lol
oh for god sake why is this wifi sucks
indonesian wifi just sucks man
Try reloading discord
eh its already appeared lol
but it seems like there's only a few stars that have those symbol
i cant . english
i noticed the same thing too
its fine
or at least stars that already touched earth...?
so if that symbol represents the stars, does that mean the harp is a gift of the gods?
maybe the season of prophecy dudes are fallen stars aswell ,, maybe they are not really " fallen " more like sent 
hmmm im curious on one thing
daleth seems to eb there when the stars falls. is taht mean... daleth isnt a star?
its quite strange
Daleth?
I'm glad my useless image compiling was worth something
there are four stars in the isle elder mural , and there are four spirits ( if not including a questgiver ? )
daleth is isle elder
Ohhh
hahahah can't wait for prophecy live so we can all go crazy
maybe... just maybe
you might be into soemthing here, fangirl
or how am i suppose to call you-
hshshs
uhhhhhh 12 more days
haha you can call me fangirl or kat 
Is there an official date for prophecy?
the motd is just a placeholder for now , also , i don't think this is the right place for asking that question
Oh 
best to ask in #questions-and-help!
once, 4 stars fell from the heaven. people bring them to the wise elder, who kindly helping those stars back to heaven. With their departure the light creatures can follow and find their way back to the stars
hmmm
4 stars. 4 prophets
and one elder who shaped like Among Us player
interesting
iNTereSting
but also , why is it that symbol there ? it's the symbol of fallen / sent stars right ?
hmm, probably
Do you guys know if there are any other murals depicting stars?
for investigations purposes
hmm lemme check my gallery
i have . Zero memory
Because there are murals in forest, but they're about the transportation of butterflies
nvm my gallery is filled with memes
And the ones in akr are, well...
Hm
That's not the same star shape
Because there are murals in forest, but they're about the transportation of butterflies
send
For the longest time, i thought this one and the one in the changing rooms were the same
I'm not too sure now
BUT what if the symbols of the shields represent two different types of stars?

Instead of a sun and a star
the sun is a star
I'm big dumb

Flos, let me borrow your image
i feel like it would make more sense if the elder hairs were in the dressing room with the star
sun shield symbol lowkey looks like prince ( not exactly the star ) symbol
notice that the biggest temple is Valley temple
yeah
it's a stadium so
The peak of the civilization
valley was the capital after all
also notice how the star symbol on "eden" is actually the biggest and the brightest
LONG NO HECK
ya the eden star symbol looks like the sun shield symbol
also fangirls i saw your message, go to sleep
man what if the war is actually between forest and other realms

why
its 1 am
night still long
fair
man what if the war is actually between forest and other realms
![]()
inhales p r a i r i e
dun dun duuuun
Shoot em with them butterflies, old man 
HAHSGDH
bow down to my butterflies
forest needs prairie for making diamonds bcs i think prairie is like a light creature farm
Basically, yeah. And they also pack them neatly
what if prairie people were giving butterflies to forest without the elder knowing?
black market light creature trading go brrr
then ayin realized and said "don't hurt my poor little butterflies", teth got mad and war
silence 
i'm compiling stars
yes
ok random thing I’ll say
When we refer to the Prophecy spirits (in the
-
transition period we’re in), this image is the up-to-date one in terms of designs, as opposed to the initial reveal teaser.
when you are in beta and u just wanna . U wanna talk abt lore . Youre impatient . Damn this some juicy lore but this is beta content .
Are we not allowed to talk about beta in the lore channel?
Nope
oh ok
yeah i need to enter eden twice to get the lighted one
somehow the cutscene just got skipped to the door opened
the beeg dour
Flos, do you think I should add the door to the star symbols? 
There are six realms right? (Not counting eden) then why are there only five line things at the top
you might want to
If you look closely, there's only 5 elder masks on the door
It’s to do with that in Beta Isle was considered much more a tutorial
some people look into it a bit more with Dalet having done something
maybe outcast for whatever
hell door is the same replica with one in home btw
The fact that their mask is broken doesn't help to reduce the theories 
altho they are more like bootleg baymax heads
Dalet might have had some really awful time
i don't know how to fit the images 
what did the eden door look like before it opened
also
im too lazy to explore realms rn
@peak locust which one? the one after we go out from the vault or in home?
Ah ok
lemme check on yt videos
Flos you're killing me 

OK random idea
the civil war was about the use of artificial power or not
spitballing but the Light vs the Diamond motif
don’t we have diamonds in our bodies? Is that where we get our light from
Uh, I don't think we actually have a diamond inside of us
or some white glowing diamond shaped thing
As in power diamonds
randomly thought that there might have been conflict over the ethics of doing this
I mean, manta are processed
I mean, they didn't have a problem (or did they?) grinding mantas and butterflies for energy
light creatures were abused in the making
it lowkey bothers me that samekh is involved in eden portal
if these aren’t diamonds what are they
Some say that tiny spot is like a manifestation of our light
Since we actually take a candle out of there ;;
We take our candles out of our chest?
Take a look 
Yes
Or rather, look closely next time you take out your candle
I’m thinking of that chart of the colour/shape theory and symbolism
It looks ore like the candle just appears
the one in the mask isn't a power diamond either ;;;
I mean like the shape is a diamond
Was going to go on about the hybrid thing
also is home physically connected to the realms? The engravings on the bell seem to imply so
maybe
There's a whole debate about that
𝑎𝑙𝑠𝑜 does anyone else think the thing at the top look a bit like the prince
WAIT YES
We also have a relatively simpler shape surrounding the glowing thing on our chest
*similar
Actually nvm it looks more like this
If you look close enough, everything looks like the king 
the king seems very obsessed with propaganda
what
do you think the engravings on the bells could represent the six realms, eden and orbit
Also whats the purpose of the bells? We can see that they can kinda "call" to the light creatures
And are the symbols binded with magic? Are they spells?
yeah
or maybe the bells are showing how to mimic creatures
Ok so what if light creatures were killed for light?
obviously the skykids and the ancestors were descended from the animasl
obviously
confirmed by me
im directly descended from the original jellies
Ah
Also why does the king look different in the mural at vault, but we see many shapes of him around sky?
Here let me find pics
wasn’t the mural for the eden elder or something
Yeah
So I'm thinking, maybe his shape we see in the last two pics are either 1. His throne? Or 2. His corrupted form

In your first pick it looks like the person is resting a strange glowing ball
*eating
Yeah
I wondered what that is but who knows
Also in that first pic, we still see the shape of the king
¯_(ツ)_/¯
In your first pick it looks like the person is resting a strange glowing ball
@peak locust lemme show u a thoery from earlier today
@peak locust https://discordapp.com/channels/575762611111592007/632004389137154048/758343522876522546 read down from here and youll know when the theory ends
We keep thinking the whole big structure is the king maybe it's just the throne/tower he's standing on
