Null do you write it as cannon on purpose ?
watch the videos
im watching them, wht is it exactly you want us to pay attention to?
If Forest Elder was wearing the King's Crown, why wasn't she able to put together the power diamond in her cutscene?
Today, I got killed several times while trying to take pics of all of the shields in the battlefield 
will it be worth it, who knows?
im watching them, wht is it exactly you want us to pay attention to?
@fierce spade mask above the forest entrance is old forest elder's mask
I believe that's just an Easter egg, not related to current lore
Ok so what if we aren't the king reincarnated, but the winged light we use, are peices of the king? Cause why would dead skykids be scattered all over sky? When skykids die they harden, lose light, shatter then reincarnate. But the winged light we see throughout sky is an embodiment of light.
yeah the mask for the elder is present in their stage?
And so the child we see after we die, the one we hug. Is the last piece of the king?
is it just bad quality of the photo with backstory timaline or my pc has bad graphics?
Jenova chen explicitly says we are wake up and are “the child of light”
Which makes Bricky’s theory of being
What theory?
it changes depending on which dev you ask, some refer to us in the singular others in the plural
even if it's not canon, the "we are all one and one is us all" (in the old timeline) caught my eye. before entering orbit, we can see light creatures together, forming a megabird-looking thingy
Hm yes
good eye
that makes sense
We all have a piece of Megan inside; together, we're Megan
wait
portals in aviary are not broken
in light avaits
portals in children of the light are broken
gate at isle in light avaits is normal
and in cotl it's broken
Theory that we are the reincarnated child of light/possible king/prince/Alef
brb
everything seems ruined and put back together
Yeah, in Light Awaits
which is not exactly canon
What is light awaits?
An earlier build of the game
fnaf matpat theories flashbacks intensives after saying "put back togheter"
You could call it the true beta, since it wasn't officially released
(it was called Light Awaits during the development of the game)
buttt
it may not mean anything....
but why things from light avaits and concept things are in game files?
and as i know light avaits is still avable on the app store
and rn it is just the same with cotl
Aren't you confusing the current beta build and LA?
idk
light awaits was like the limited live version of sky
if people still have the app, it’s up to date with the current live app children of the light (because light awaits was a live version anyway). but the devs arent going to support light awaits forever and eventually will stop updating it to match children of the light
not lore related but even though its cool the have the app, its best to play sky on the official live app children of the light because of that ^^^
aaaannddd technically since light awaits and children of the light are on the same build, whatever was on light awaits before global launch isnt considered canon anymore
yes 
i see soooooo much things and little aspects that i can't stop showing that
prophecy masks have sooo similiar design to the old concept masks hidden in the files
ultimate gift, if u delete the halo looks almost identical as one of the masks
yea........
Mannnnnn I have a few theories for Prophecy but Beta stays in Beta 😔😔😔😔
star
well yeah LA had a bunch of interesting stuff
anddd
Does the Valley door shows the eden castle?
what is megan theory and other
i'm late
Does the Valley door shows the eden castle?
@hushed steeple yes it shows
i think
I want to know the whole lore so bad
What happened to eden
What happened to all the spirits
How are only kids left

Hey Milan, are you new to lore?
Yeah I am pretty new
I just read something about a godlike person
Well, we have a doc that summarizes pretty much what we know (the old story too)
Lemme go get it
WhAt iS MeGaN tHeOrY
Hello new Lore Moff!
Read this short document to get started! Once you’ve read this, check out pins for more information. stickerHeart
https://docs.google.com/document/d/18B1-SKG3toG0oH0VhOWC5o-cG9u0STAN92QvmbhTDto/edit
Credits to Bricky 
Thanks
Yeah, but that's basically all we know
Worse
We know they
"Kind of"
Exist
i've read the document
absolutely too much place for theories
first
maybe megan is like rosalina in smg 1 and 2?
watch Peach is dead in smg video.
Game theorist
hmmmmm
We are the king! 
(Plays Queen’s “princes of the universe” on the boom box)
That’s what one dev said, Milan
I’m a fan only of the lore, never played it.
But that’s just a theory...a game theory...(and goes back to sky convo)
oke
Yup, try to focus on the lore of sky
okeee
Is no one else excited that sanctuary helps us answer a huuuuuuuge ecology concern in Sky?
yaaa
It represents that creatures of light are reborn/evolved from the geysers
So the point of the life cycle of creatures of light is...
Start at a butterfly...
get brogutnto Eden pass orbit and come back down to sky planet out of geysers as the next reincarnation/evolution...a bird...then a baby manta...then mama manta...then queen mama manta etc.
Ok wow
this is more complicated than i thought woah
what is the corruption
Eden’s prob holy
With opposable thumbs and able to learn back flips on the first try
Eden is/was the holy land where all creatures of light went to rejoin Megabird and be reborn/evolve
Maybe the diamond was way smaller then
maybe the diamond was made the harness the power of the beam 
Diamonds ♦️ weren’t invented until Teth showed up
Teth is the forest elder?
it’s assumed they came from orbit or something similar
SORRY BUT.......
we are uh light..? lol-
can you please not yell in all caps ?
okie sorry
write out your questions and we’ll try our best to answer them
Ok so the giant beam comes from eden diamond
sky is starting to be like religion or something
When we die we get to the black giant room
u know
So I'm assuming the giant beam existed before the diamond was there...
prophets like in the bible
And then the diamond was created to harness that power?
Milan not “from” but the diamond ♦️ is placed over it, so yeah, technically (beacon was there before diamond was built)
Ok so we are not in the diamond after we die?
Question: Who is Elif the Diamond?
Isle: Daleth (ד)
Prairie: Ayin (ע)
Forest: Teth (ט)
Valley: Samekh (ס)
Wasteland: Tsadi (צ)
Vault: Lamed (ל)
Prince: Alef (א)
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.
np
i watched momo sky's video rn
Which one?
What?
Ok so we are not in the diamond after we die?
@hushed steeple I believe we are inside the diamond ♦️ when we hug the child of light. Then we zip out of the diamond up the beacon of light to orbit
or something?
@dapper copper maybe your questions would be better suited to #questions-and-help or #general-sky-discussion
What question do you have Sani?
You had a ? Emote to the “> Ok so we are not in the diamond after we die?
@hushed steeple I believe we are inside the diamond ♦️ when we hug the child of light. Then we zip out of the diamond up the beacon of light to orbit”
Please do! 
I believe we are inside the diamond diamonds when we hug the child of light. Then we zip out of the diamond up the beacon of light to orbit
I have a theory that the prince/king is trapped in that diamond, which could be the child we hug but
That's all I was gonna add, thanks 
I do too... I heavily believe we merge with the prince.
Yeah its possible
Thats a good point tho
But does that contradict the statement that "the prince/king isn't around to be saved anymore"?
maybe the elders as in the concept art evolved from the strange light animals?
Also, do only light creatures evolve?
Didn't they said "the eden elder isn't around to be saved anymore"? So maybe the king and the prince aren't the same person
Cause those are the only things we see in the concepts that evolve when reborn
And only the prince is left
Oh maybe
But does that contradict the statement that "the prince/king isn't around to be saved anymore"?
@hushed steeple Maybe we DON'T actually "save him". Maybe he gives us his power and dies so we can live and then we are one with him?
Ohh yeah thats a good point
Maybe we hug a memory of the prince and he's already dead?
my heart just broke
Sorry
You don’t save him. He saves you
The prince that is.
The king is long since dead
MAYBE we are actually a girl and we are lost love of the prince?!
Only his statues remain to remind us
i don’t think TGC would assign a gender to the player, nor the prince for that matter
And maybe sky is a game for girls not bois?

TGC has said before that the people in sky are genderless, it’s not a gendered game
what
i feel like we are saving us both:
only his soul remains and he needs a physical body to go back to the world
only our body remains and we need light to keep being alive
Anyone else find that (romance with the prince) less relatable than running through a time loop and delivering light until your dying moment only to be saved by someone who is forever trapped in a the role of Death?
How is the jelly kid born......? Oh my god Bricky I think you’ve come up with a fantastic theory!!!!!!!,
!!!,!
Check it
what where?
The jelly kid is a kid... it’s an ancestor but it’s a kid...
right?
gender ≠ physiology
there might still be reproductive organs, just not the same social constructs as us earthlings
The life cycle of creatures of light are to be sent to Eden and be reborn butttttt reincarnated into an evolved form...
Guess who else goes to Eden to be reborn?
all the light creatures leveled up
Maybe the kids get reborn into adults, and adults get reborn into older ancestors with beards and broken backs and bad hips and stuff...wiser...older...stronger, makes us better (singing Daft Punk)
Because we are forever a child of light
i thinked about skykids evolving into elders
Or...maybe the grow spells and resizing spells handle that theory?
the holy site and the surrounding looks like a seamount
Does that life cycle work for other beings besides the creatures, cause all that's there are the creatures evolving
what is that island near home
I think its just a random island
it’s where the opening cutscene takes place, Claus
It kinda does look like seamount
Sani the proof is long gone as no one can visit the island anymore, and one old adventurer had a screenshot of the island and the cutscene mechanics drawn on the side of it....
ashen took pics of the island again recently
Gink!! Sup!
And show meeeeeeee!!
I didn't know about this, thx
where

Does that life cycle work for other beings besides the creatures, cause all that's there are the creatures evolving
@hushed steeple well we only see the evolutionary product not the actual process so who’s to say all things of light don’t evolve ?
so how he?
Yeah thats tru
we dont know claus
sideways rocket is possible?
What I’m moooooore interested in is the implication muahahaha
If creatures of light (boo’fly>baby manta>mama manta>etc)
Evolve...
Then do creatures of darkness elvovle as well?


We at least know that darkness can come from an unnatural death....
darkness on whale bones
Darkness on dying/trapped miner
Do these darkness plants 🌱...evolve...?
I can tell that they can grow but don't know about evolution
what is the altitude of eden?
u think those dark plants grow fast?
Or is darkness the opposite of light in the respect that only things of light through Megan can evolve and darkness is just an ever pressing state of decay
guys wait
seemed like they grew fast to me if they trapped the crying spirit
i will try to get to the island with a fren
Maybe the crying spirit was trapped in there for many years? Lol that’s almost comical
maybe there are multiple species of darkness plants
well we see variations of the dark plants, ones with thorns surrounding the fruits
like the ones with orbs and without
or did the crying spirit and friends fall from upstairs?
guysss
cuz there is a stairs
what is the altitude of eden?
@hushed steeple Eden castle surpasses into the atmosphere, sort of like a tower of bable
In Citadel, there are 4 small orbs over the turntables, each at ascending heights. Then there's the giant multi-layered orb in the middle.
Is that supposed to be the sun? Or maybe the capital, with four kingdoms around it?
it's a armillary sphere it's used to track space stuff
I am speed
i cant english
listen to meee
what's up?
(Listening)
Whys an armillary there? Why is it before the race?
Yes
how do I know? I'm trying to buy one just to have
Darkness...plant..... has thorns...
ive seen different types of them tho 
ya
the ones with thorns and the ones that block like fungi
Krill
krillatail:
and the biiig ones in graveyard

and the smol starting ones in praire
Did you know that there used to be darkness plants sticking to trees in Sky conceptual art
Are all the trees dead?
Maybe evolutions!
oh
Krill has thorns tooooo
I'll try to find the art
thanks
It looks like black bubble gum stuck to a tree trunk
With red or orange light in X’s on it
I know what you’re referring to Silv. I gotchuu
there are different type of light but not different types of dark so dark thingys looking similar would make sense
Is that a dark butterfly in the exhausted shipbuilder's cutscene?
wait what?
do u have a pic buck?
A greyish butterfly goes past his head when he's hammering, and he follows it over to his bunk and passes out.

Isnt that just the color of the memory?
I think it probably is
@hushed steeple that what I've always assumed... But why would the butterfly lead him to his bunk to pass out?
oh wow
The tree in vault has leaves so they probably once did
it’s already in the pins, but thank you
Oh
The bird-inspired capes in some conceptual artworks
heck yeah send those in
GIB BIRD CAPE
is it the manta cape but slightly different?
I want no. 6, 8, 12
The first four look like possibilities
the last 4 also look possible
We havethe butterfly one
Yeah the last few ones remind me of the butterfly cape's shape
but I would really love the middle 6
And if you charge your wings same color
And the ones between the first four and the last four remind me of Journey
I want someone to hug me in no. 4
Unfortunately, we're a little off the topic of lore XD


wait corrupt descendant,,?

wait is that a dark stingray?
The fallen a.k.a. The stone children in Eden eye of the storm
(It's alright, I don't like being an annoying person either XD
But we gotta keep it open so other people feel free to drop in and feel like they won't disturb us!)
It’s krill concept jouske
oo
@thorn trout I love your Forest mama pfp
I feel like those creature things would jump out of the ground and attack
LOL
it grants the ancestors technology and power but is also the source of their corruption (thats it boys we solved the mystery imma pack 💼 )
She definitely has ties to the king, considering her mask shape and the power diamonds, but probably not XDDDD
We believe in Forest mama supremacy
...True
She definitely has ties to the king, considering her mask shape and the power diamonds, but probably not XDDDD
@thorn trout Ok what I did not think that far please slow down my brain empty
you sound new to lore chat, Silv
What if the king is just a position that only children of light can fill?
Like the king is reincarnated every time... and only one king fell to corruption?
no incoming lore moff doc
Was “pffft”the recap?

Oh shut it Oz!
I think I did miss some things
most definitely
-
If you look at the outline of the King and Teth's mask, you see they have a very similar star outline. King actually has the star, but Teth shares the same basic outline. You can look in concept art if you'd like, because I don't have any refs on hand
(Headcanon: Teth made all the elder masks) -
Teth, being a blacksmith, likely made the kingdom's power diamonds, when you consider her vague resemblance to the king. Possibly the large Eden one as well.
Me back and bye
...Well I suppose I did not need to recap that part then XD
But yeah, Teth probably was close to the king and probably made the kingdom's power diamond. Vaguely accepted theory here
Headcanon: Teth corrupted king.
...Ooh boy
She’s a builder. A forger of things
She crafted the dark stones, if she is a “goddess” she is the goddess of progression.
So in this case the other elders have their own connections with the King as well
sky: teth the builder of destruction
No weapon is made without her wisdom, no technology created without her guidance
They prob built the Kingdom together or something
And then boom
something happened
King gone
She’s the only elder who has no care for the Sky child other than its light to recreate her diamond masterpiece... (aside from the playful twins) she feels no remorse until the veeeeeery end
I've been thinking ab the story that is being told in the very beginning of Sky
i just think shes impatient to get on w her job and hates children
Will we really ever finish Sky completely
Lol
probably not silv
Hates children of light is the catalyst for creator of darkness
Wait so we will never manage to achieve our main goals as sky children-
teth the blacksmith of the end

i think she just wanted to finish her masterpiece work. i mean. for how long has she been waiting and remaking that diamond endlessly only to find someone bring it. everyone finds her rude but i find her workaholic attitude justifiable 
And breaker of faces... can’t prove it yet but I’m almost certain she did something to Daleth’s face
I find Teth pretty funny nvm she's gone FERAL
mb she sees us as slacking off
Why does everyone believe Teth did something to Daleth? I wonder what's the context here XD
Teth is that one character nobody understands but just. Lets her be out of fear
i guess its more fanmade personality that lead to that lilly xD
Teth seems like a kind soul with a misunderstandable personality
i feel like shes not evil. she’s just impatient
her cutscene is sad
She seemed really lonely
exactly!!
but i hate her stance in front of the skykids. thats not how u face a child
thinking on it teth seems to be like "finally" when taking your flame in the cutscene
i think maybe, the other elders might have disliked her after she started working on making power diamonds thats why she's lonely
or started avoiding her
(Plays. “ these boots were made for walking, and that’s just what they’ll do, one of these days these boots 👢 are gonna walk all over you!” By Nancy Sinatra as Teth walks into isle of dawn with her hammer in hand)
I am finally not alone in thinking Teth just has some trauma and issues and probably isn't evil!
...This channel is a disaster
ive always been on teth's side lilly 
if u were here a long time you'd probs know why
Teth fanbase aside from me and Ginko, where you at?
(Jk)
mb teth is just impatient
Teth is a builder... she creates tech. She stands for advancement...look at her high heels compared to ancestor gladiator sandals. She created the refinery.
And the. There’s ol’ Daleth
shes not evil or anything she just doesnt want to get along with pleasantries or anything she perceives to b slacking off
Ancient... old school. All about the natural course of life... reincarnation
Stagnation... the old way
don't forget there's tsadi with heels to
tsadi
They stand in opposition to each other’s roles
so u mean teth beating up daleth is a way of technology’s overpowering the old
all the elders with visible legs have heels
Tsadi, our boy
She made the heels for Tsadi
@sinful anvil WHAT
Some people: Teth made heels and gave Tsadi some
Other people: Teth beat up Daleth
he's got like a good foot on those heels
so i take it teth doesnt wear flats
based on my hight estimations
Teth is above your meager fashion choices
To get a better examination of Teth’s type of heels/boots 👢 you’ll have to look up Daleth’s.....(censored)
i think teth hates the king now
@compact olive Why are you so fricking cursed
Cause she put boots to him I’m sure of it
doesn't daleth have a full body robe?
And a broken face
Okay okay okay... IF....She hurt him, she probably had good reason.
And maybe she didn’t hurt him
Maybe daleth fell on some stairs
He’s old. I could see that happening
he tripped over the robe
Stares at Bricky
Or maybe he got banished.
(Whispers) I can also see Teth telling him “now stick to the story old man. You got it?”
i just realized we were talking about where we saw the purple light symbol in sky 
i was looking for teth with heels pic and found this
why are you staring at me 
archives?
You know why you little angst lover
Her forehead
oh dang
ye, daleth has that too
Ooh
that is a unflattering angle
I want those gloves 
What's up with her hair
shh i was taking screenshots of my teth i cropped the pic
it looks like a dad questioning what you just said
Is it just me or does her face look exactly like a bluish version of the sky kid face?
Lore channel is supposed to be serious and then. Sometimes.
We just comment on Teth's unflatteringly angled photo
(jk Ginko)
Is it just me or does her face look exactly like a bluish version of the sky kid face?
which one?
Original/canon moth face
funny thing is when u wear some diff stuff that forehead thing is still there but hidden
has anyone considered that the megabird may not be a deity, but rather an idea or concept?
(O_O).... we are the 7th elder
we have 7 elders already Oz
remember valley is 2 elders
(O_O).... we are the 7th elder(or 8th if you count both twins separately)
Look at the forehead difference
We share Teth’s face
Sorry for the spam
We are Teth
so now we have to have a competition to see who is the true last elder
Okay I'm not helping us stay on track
note that chibi has like a big outline on the forehead
LMAOO
Stamp of approval kid tested Megan approved
oh no
Hell I have a LOT of homework to do. Ping me if y'all need anything and let's try to not get booted out of the channel for not being on-topic XD
Oh no...
RTD #3 (Random Thought of the Day) - the megabird is an ancient creature of light, the last of its kind, it leaves an message for the cloud messenger
Had terrible theory idea
ill just bring this again and remention the purple light. anyone know if all the elders have diamonds on their forehead like teth?
i should probably present my theory after the current discussion
they all have, except valley
"The spirit prays for Purple light. It is said they hoard ancient secrets.
"
why is my english so broken
Skykid = moth 🦋
Drawn to the light... 💡
What if Teth/king built Eden diamond ♦️
.......to trap the other children of the light?......
Oh no....that’s dark....
in the pic i send of the shrines only forest and valley dont have. but what about the real bodies in the cutscenes?
they all have, except valley
well duh they're competing over who gets it
King = moth trapper... for unlimited power source...
I don't think alef would let that happen
i have the all elders pic as tablet background so it's easier for me to check lmao
and yeah the in-game models are like the shrines
u sure koma?? i remember being some difference in the shrines iirc
like between the shrines and the elders
teth shrine doesn’t have a forehead diamond
here
do we know which elders have forehead diamond?
What if Teth doesn’t have diamond on statue to signify she wasn’t under control of the darkness, like a lord of the rings Sauron, she built the one ring to bind them all
all but lamed and twins
not the headpieces
And the kids don’t have It tins because they are innocent
the forehead 
oh that
the ancestors saw what the king was doing and decided to die an unnatural death to stop feeding into the rebirth cycle and thus fueling the power source, and now the narrator, probably related to the king, deceives and manipulate us into thinking the fragments of the stars are scattered throughout the kingdom, and we must journey through eden to return our ancestors to the celestial plane. The sinister motive is never reveal, a puppet to continue fuel the power source, the eden diamond
that is really dark

woah
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
This
i don't have any constellation completed so i can't check
krills were constructed to punish the ancestors that would not obey the king's orders and continue the rebirth cycle, to make their spirits suffer eternally in darkness
woah, my crackpot theory got more recognition than my actual researched theories
Crack pot for the crack head...canon...ers....
Okay but I like this diamond on forehead situation
And I like the mystery of the dark plot by Lambda
ya i just began to think what if this whole thing is a ruse to get skykids to be the living fuel for eden diamond
But how do they coincide together?
i only have isle completed but the mask covers the forehead
(I had an old headcanon theory that Megan is just using us like a food source)
(This coincided with Bricky’s [and others ] ideas about the luceferian king plot)
... isn't the diamond also what you get when you get 2 dots on one dot on cape?
The king is the hero of the story because he fights against the natural order of things which just sees us recycled as soul food (not the southern literal term) for Megan
Megan the world eater 
Nom nom nom nom
lovecraftian horror
Megan propaganda
i think the forehead stamp on them might mean that they had the knowledge as "
It is said they hoard ancient secrets ". and from that old dark stone concept its written that it grants the ancestors technology and power but is also the source of their corruption. which to me makes sense that its related.
i added bold on they because the original line is "The spirit prays for Purple light. It is said they hoard ancient secrets.
". who are they if not the elders and their knowledge ?? 
wait wait
what if the megabird is the diamond in the centre (the eye), and it shows all of the light feeding into it?
what if the rebirth cycle is deliberate made to keep light creatures perpetual sources of light, feeding into the megabird
in turn the megabird grants her servants a gift(a curse) of eternal reincarnations, and longevity
the high elders worshipped the darkness in order to escape the cyclic continuum, in doing so, they lost most of their power given to them by the megabird, they descend upon the clouds as physical form, but most importantly they retained knowledge, because the megabird as powerful as her is could not rival against time itself
That’s my theory lambda, that Megan set it all up to keep feeding
megabird is the real villain of sky 
Maybe she eats to give birth! 
Idk what I just said-
the powers of the ancient deity is fading, but one last continuum sustain her power. this is represented by the large darkness gaps that separate the continuum of the light spectrum, there are six large gaps, hence the six high elders, but where is the last elder? what if it is us?
Like.. poop 💩 ? Sani ?
LOL
We sky kids are her poop? Or like organic babies ?
with this in mind,read the intro again, and let it sink in
"if only they had listened"
"our light was infinite"
"bring our lost stars home"
Home = tummy tum
World eater Megan 
Look at this diagram... she has souls of light coming from all over the galaxy
🌌
but why does megan have this endless appetite in the first place 
Cause she big
She’s like a black hole ?
(O_O) ....... Megan is a light and darkness Oreo cookie !!
Let's say she does "eat" us, what happens then? Do we become apart of her? Do we transfer idk??
Maybe she is duality!!
Maybe what we think is Megan is just the trap door, made to look appealing and pretty... maybe she’s really everything else we don’t see... (because we and mantas make up the bird.... maybe she’s the dark matter than pulls us towards her)
she’s not only the shiny outline we see, but also the darkness around her
"Dark matter is composed of particles that do not absorb, reflect, or emit light, so they cannot be detected by observing electromagnetic radiation. Dark matter is material that cannot be seen directly. ... Scientists believe that dark matter may account for the unexplained motions of stars within galaxies."


Coincidence?? I think not!!!
Yin and yang
IMMA JUST DROP THIS HERE, I HAD THE IDEA OF PREGNANT DARK PLANTS WHO JUST CAPTURE A MOTH AND CHANGE IT INTO A CHILD OF LIGHTS- NOW ADIOS I WANTED TO PARTAKE MY CURSED-

Oop-

Sbfusbudv- I just had to, I had that idea for a Sky fanfiction uwu
im gonna be honest i don’t understand what you were trying to say
what
Okay, but try to leave the caps out this time. Can you re-tell us the theory or idea a bit more clearly?
Oh yeah sure
I had this idea today, rewriting my fanfiction, about dark plants who grow inside of skykids like a infection (thanks Lore discussion for that idea-), but that when it consume all of the moth, it changes them of light to dark, since it’s dark plant-
Does it even have something to do with lore discussion anyway ??
oh that was a lot less disturbing than i read it to be

i saw « pregnant » and « moth » in the same sentence and almost screamed
Lol same
tmw everyone says megabird looks like a phoenix and u wonder why not realizing ur looking at it in the wrong way
On one of the concept art from above about the elders, the forest elder used to have a mask, and a similar one can be found above the the forest temple gates.
a note: why is alef the big star here
:0 I didn’t knew they had names-
cue bricky's chart
So that looks like the isle elder fell first
What chart?
of elder names
Oh!
my question is why is alef here as a star
alef didnt fall yet
Isle: Daleth (ד)
Prairie: Ayin (ע)
Forest: Teth (ט)
Valley: Samekh (ס)
Wasteland: Tsadi (צ)
Vault: Lamed (ל)
Prince: Alef (א)
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.
maybe
:0
have you read the lore moff doc, Astrid ?
is that a yes ? no ?
I didn’t but I have a link to it so I can read it anytime
Im going with no
it’s two pages, barely like 1000 words
yeah
it’s an intro doc, i wouldn’t write a novel for newbies
What if the Eden diamond ♦️ was a good intentioned device, like a stone that would pull boats 🚣♀️ towards it faster so spirits could ascend to Megabird faster and have a nice Disney land ride like trip to Eden.... but something just went horribly wrong and when they turned it on every boat 🚣♀️ in the vicinity was thrown off course and some just smashed into the Eden castle exploding it like it is now...
In this crackpot theory the king has a commercial “do you want to reincarnate? Well come on doooooowwwwn!”
It would be terrible if they had good intentions but faulty intelligence was the cause of the destruction.
But then that would make the war at GW useless so scratch the whole idea.
hey @compact olive , i know this is really late, but here’s a screenshot of spirits being called « lost lights »
tap your character to call lost lights
to call the ... lost light??
yep, spirits are called lost lights
which does me a Confuse
Better late than never... still looking for Jenova Chen saying we follow/connect with one ☝️ Star child to Eden.
Wait... that’s Le Franće !!!
yes, my sky is in french
mais je ne peux pas lire le france!!
« but i cant read france »
also, that’s why i included a translation
Wut
hehe
i also included a translation to not get beaned, considering this is an english-only server
Is that the thingie that pops up when you get near sanctuary spirit?
hmmm
but my point is
this is the main thing that makes me doubt the « ancestors are stars » claim, considering they’re called lost lights
this also basically confirms they’re not the « lost stars » we’re trying to bring home
which translations are done in-house?
japanese and chinese
last patch, they were still updating translations so i dont know
alright
time to switch my locales
why do you ask ?
because i want to see if anything is different
it’s based on distance from the spirit
i was across the map when the prompt showed
ok basically the translation of laughing lightcatcher is laughing light farmer, i hope i did it right, can you confirm pale child?
@/Clary#3359
this confirms your agriculture theory bricky
Lmao I know y’all noticed or something but I haven’t but the prophecy symbol necklace and the symbol on the accessories are the same right?
accessories ? like, cosmetics ? sounds like beta content 
ok basically the translation of laughing lightcatcher is laughing light farmer, i hope i did it right, can you confirm pale child?
lambdaw#8201 ive never realized 光农 could mean light farmer. ur kinda right
but i thought farming only describes a process of harvesting things, so light catching could be a form of farming
maybe English is more specific
you know what is even more strange, ushering migrant is translated as ushering farmer (as in reference to one who practice pastoralism rather than alluding to agriculture)
farming refers to sowing seeds, preparing land, looking after animals, and harvesting
A farmer is for harvesting but generally it is for grown or processed goods, where as catching is more suited for insect farming as you aren’t raising the creature from birth
I mean they sorta do farm light by harvesting light from birds
Which is shown on the spirit’s relived thing
ahh haha I see
english is both pointlessly specific and not specific enough
actually probably translate better to ushering nomad than farmer, farmer is so ambiguous
That is soooo true
Ancestor spirit 1: “But how do we milk the manta?”
Ancestor spirit 2: “What?!”
Teth: we don’t milk. We grind.
Both ancestors: 
what livestocks are in isle?
so we will definitely be calling the light we absorb light milk now🥛
“Got Light?”
“Farming” isn’t restricted to plants and crop farming only
The term can be used for other things as well
That would make a good Sky shirt.
In this case, the praire spirits are not farmers of livestock and agriculture
We farm candles frequently in Sky. 
That too
although it was mentioned in the skyshop poems that prairie was a, agricultural zone
So praire is one big farm or plants and crops in ur eyes?
Although harvesting, farming, and agriculture is present in praire
No one said it was specifically like plants and stuff, in the sky world I thought it clear that it was light they were farming and harvesting in praire
i think there used to be farms and such there
but it was overgrown
since, well, it’s been a while
Bird’s in isle
i think there were once mantas in isle
but they migrated, and so did the people of isle
the three spirits were the last to remain, they stayed to usher new travellers and they were reminiscent of the forgotten land
This just feels less like farming and more like catching
Calling a creature with a bell and waiting for it to come in your island hole and then keeping it inside of a stone encasing to draw out its light?
Ancestors were savage.... meant in the literal and urban slang term
/ guys i just relived the laughing light dud few days back
/it doesnt loook like farming but they wear catching light with the staff and putting them into jars
/but it doesnt loook like birds?? loooks like there used to be light just lying around all the time
Yeah, I had a theory that they harvested light from the creatures.
Cause the creatures do recharge your wings, so where else would they get the light to store in the jars..to ship to forest, make diamonds, and use those diamonds to further their technology... made me think
There could be other sources, such as fire, but we hardly see fire used unless its for opening doors and lighting murals. But idk
/oil?
Oh yeah there's oil at wl
/i remember a theory with oil be present
Whats the theory?
/orange light loooks like it's trying to represent oil
Got any links? Or other info?
/sorry it took too long, also, the chat's bit quite huh
/hey i want to edit theory doc, i want to add crackpot theories, where do i put it
what’s the subject matter ?
/ just some gatorade crackpot
so, its about skids ?
/ yea it's about skids being gatorade
then put it under « Skychildren »
what is the link for theory doc?
it’s in the pins
oh it got revamped, last time i checked there weren't categories
well, there were, but it was poorly shown/organized
@gilded fossil I hope you know that submitting your theory in this manner will lead to it being denied. There’s a template at the top of the document if you wish to properly submit your theory
This is a dumb, but what if krill think the wl in wasteland is theirs and they’re just trying to bonk it out of you
Random but any evidence that sky and journey share a time line?
sky and journey are separate stories and separate universes
mostly due to copyright reasons i think
About sky and journey. In Vault, behind the 2 pl. Door, on the big cubes, there are journey symbols on them. Do we know what's going on with that? Or is it just an easter egg?
They look very similar and seem to follow same pattern/system, but now you say it, only a few are identical🤔
If mega bird is the creator then maybe journey and sky are just two things they created
Only asking what is this over the diamond thing-
The end of orbit?
Idk but it looked like an eclipse or some sort
Oh I was looking at the very top
O h
Well that could be in orbit
But the eclipse that keeps bugging me
NEED CLUE
I think it is eclipse 

Also i didnt know that i can actually insert my theory in theory doc lmao-
Like, man, i should at least write something in there, maybe later
I wonder how interconnected the stories of Journey and Sky are
Quoting this to get some conversation started
I posted it when a different conversation was taking place
From what i recall, Sky is spiritual successor of Journey
So its either they have connected storyline or not, we can only guessing
Altho my thory is Journey taken place not too long after the sky kingdom fall, while sky taking at least thousend years after it fall
Or maybe, journey taken before the sky kingdom even build 
mostly due to copyright reasons i think
Due to copyright reason? I mean... arent they share the same game company-?
what is Journey about
sky is journey's spiritual successor in that sky has similar elements of design and game mechanics. but they aren't related lore-wise, though both their plots follow the 'hero's journey' template
Due to copyright reason? I mean... arent they share the same game company-?
@bitter shale Journey belongs to Sony now
oooh, sony. of course-
yes
so they have to unshadow the capes
@edgy sequoia ohh, that ended quickly 😶
Its either game mechanics or game lore, pick one 
i pick lore
so yk that you need to get winged light to have a cape so i was thinking that the cape was made of light which dosent cast a shadow obv
though it is technical limitations i agree that capes could be made out of light too
yes it is
i pick lore
so yk that you need to get winged light to have a cape so i was thinking that the cape was made of light which dosent cast a shadow obv
@livid valley i think so too
Hiya!! what is the topic of discussion right now? hahaha
lore chat is asneep 
just going to somewhat revive it for a while
https://docs.google.com/document/d/19p_7mI1bI4fxKBk5ogVJCTsU7hzLJejqBgQTSJDAjuo/edit
i finally got a doc to put my leitmotif notes in but it's still messy
i'll probably add in the ost tracks and timestamps for each leitmotif so that my notes make more sense
ok so I wanna talk about. How memories or spirits are made. Do they fade? Do they just come out of thin air? how did these spirits turn to stone WHEN THEY ARE LITERALLY. G A S
Are elders the first human like creatures to exist??? did the elders made these spirits???? are they from.. ANOTHER DIMENSION??? HOW ARE KRILLS OR MANTAS MADE??? WERE THERE A WAR BETWEEN THEM??????
I thought before that the spirits are kinda preserved like the citizens of pompeii were preserved
talked**
but instead of ash, it's darkness
what the hell is a pompeii
do you not know your history?
maybe 
do a quick google and then come back
pompeii was a city near a volcano and the volcano goes kaboom and it preserved all the people i think
yes that
I thought before that eden looked like a volcano
realms
what 
it's been confirmed in the cutscene that the spirits are stars
i heard one time that prairie could've been a volcano
who even made eden???? did the elders do it so the kids can die and get reborn?? MILLLION TIMES????
they made the stuff inside eden but megabird made orbit ,,
who made the kingdoms
did you read the file? or watched the cutscene?
stars.
what are the elders from anyway
so like
may I ask once more if you have read the canon file?
what canon file
yeah have you read the canon doc?

it should give the basic info
i think some of your questions can be answered there
it's in the pins
ah. are you new to lore chat?
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
[credits to bricko]
lore moff moment
just read this, then check the pins, the canon lore doc will be there
Bricko
that way you can settle in
Bricko is the person with the marshmallow profile pic yes?
I haven't met the veterans yet XD
veterans of the lore channel haha
those who has been around since the season of belonging
or since the beta days
before it went to live
hahaha
they're the ones with the most established lore and created the canon doc
there's a list of them in the file hehehe
oh? which file?
ah hage and jay? i consider them lore vets yes, but i don't think there's a set definition of a lore vet (or a vet in general lol)
hahaha I call them vets isnce they have been on this lore channel since the begining ahhhaha
((i don't know how to spell whaaaat??))
i see
anyway back to actual lore lol
hahaha
anyways
what was the topic before?
something about what skids are made of?
I thought of them as just a battery pack and containers to save the children of light (stars)
cause of the wax doll features they have XD
cause we look like mannequins without the masks hahaha
((or we're made from dead children ;_;))
h a h a h a
(( re-animated corpses of the children that died from the cataclysmic event from eden))
((but now we're immortal hahahhaha ))
commonly believed that they are made of clay since clay was used to make some of the sound effects skids produce
there is a doll-mannequin-like vibe to them seeing how skids seem to be simply vessels to carry light
(children of light are not really stars btw, the stars are more referring to the elders in the intro, wl/imprints of col would be better names to avoid confusion)
that's my thoughts as well
containers or batteries made to save the ACTUAL children of lights
we use the energies from the children to power the various contraptions, as well as to fly
ah sorry just got home
yeah, that is possible. saving the generation of skids before us
issokay hahha I think I need to get back to work hahaha
This topic reminded me of that theory I had that we were Prince 2.0, but were born from the Prince's original dead corspe physical form before they fell-
And Bricky
Could you tell me what scholars do in general? Are they like the counselor for the king or?
for the vault scholars i think they were just,, arhciving info/knowledge
but
they seemed pretty important bc there's a bunch of big statues of a scholar around in eden
Ohh so they are people with high knowledge and intelligence then?
IF those are scholars.. after all there are also big statues in Valley Of Triumph (with those giant weird hat)
I wouldN'T be surprised if the put many concept for many class of ancestors
And some are just souvenirs of abandoned concepts
Is it possible if maybe they sacrifice themselves for the king or sumn? I mean they wouldn't have statues if they don't do something significant
Or maybe they are the one who knows about the diamond first?
SIDE NOTE: First time I realized this can look similar to mantas tail
Oooh 

I'm even more thinking that diamon shape with the 2 sidelines is a way of symbolize a heart/soul
As if those 2 lines were the physical frames/hands around our soul
🤚 ♦️ ✋


The souls we have collected
And I have a less materialistic idea about the artificial diamonds
My topic, probs irrelevant but: What if spirits use the wax/candles and hearts to make more cosmetics?
Cause there are so many sky kids, they'd need materials to make those cosmetics.
whats hearts even made out of
no clue but im thinking it might be made out of wax
you light a constellation, it sends a small part of heart
You send a full heart letter, you use up 3 candle
Maybe it's like... more purified or something? Hence why a heart costs 3 candles. Like the transfer process melts it down and back together.
Also entire unrelated but I'll forget soon: the mentions of how the stuff in the vault was supposed to be stored forever but bits are getting lost really, really reminds me of data stored in hard drives. Which degrade over time.
Also paper does, but it's obvious from the outside when paper records need copying to save them.
Not really sure there's anywhere to go with that beyond crack, but was a thought.
/are memories = light?
/did the scholars thought they can store memory-like light in the stone diamond thing?
i mean, look at vault. that place is filled with projector stones
i think they did suceeded in making memory storage
Not sure how this influences things, but harddrives can store things indefinitely as long as they are regularly maintained. The power to do so relies on the fact that data can be perfectly copied from drive to drive without possibility of undetected data loss. Set it up right and the loss of a drive is not the loss of data, just the loss of a drive. Swap in a new one and you are back to your previous state.
Memory storage does not appear to be able to support this feature
My question is, how did they manage to extract those memories?
Like, hard drive store datas from computer. What about memories?
I imagine memory stone did storage those memories but unlike hard drives they are more fragile?
Hmm... Memory can either be stored in body or soul.
is that mean they extract those memories from-
So the memory stones must simulate something similar
We can relive memories from spirits without stealing them, so maybe memory stones are similar?

Buuuuut from what I see, memories aren't perfect. It would not surprise me if duplicating memories was a lossy process
Sky is secretly sci-fi???

i mean, we do have space station sooooooo
But its not counted as canon-
Lmao
Yea
We do have a canon in the game-
/ we also have a yeet machine
What is it then? Fanon?
We didnt have a fan-
looks like the hair of the festive spin dancer 
i was thinking that too lol
Have a rest, boop
take care boop!! we're here if you need us

bro y'all are too nice ahsgddn
Arent we all

Is this a visual bug or why are those birds black?
