Yes, the clothes has patterns
we remember them too
back in prelaunch beta, the chest pattern g l o w s
GINKO SAVE US
Yeah, but I definitely don’t remember sleeves having triangles there
sky kingdom likes edgy things
Look at the sleeves closely
what- i need context i just arrived- 
Plus our 3rd and 2nd big brains are dead
oo
in the credits and the isle
I'm the 4th i think I'm next 
Your smelling your armpits?
it just happens to be on everyone in sky's clothes
I’m not smelling my armpits-
it's a simple design,but quite fashionable
I was checking the diamond symbol thing on our clothes
Then I noticed the triangles on our sleeves
/looks like an ancestor
/looks like an ancestor
@gilded fossil what have you done
No your smelling your armpits stop making excuses Butterfly
What chat am I in..?
/sorry butter
Also someone give Ginko context before our number 1 big brain is gone
I gave them-
Oh ok
I thought the diamond was just some leftover thing from Beta, not lore related, until I saw those patterns
i have no brain 
NO-
but the thought we might have smell intrigues me
Now I’m convinced they’re intentional
but the thought we might have smell intrigues me
@undone harbor what have i done
The diamond shapes are part of ancestor culture
Who else has the same diamond symbol, and also had triangle patterns on their clothes?
we might smell like butter
wait does that mean we're related to ancestors
Who else has the same diamond symbol, and also had triangle patterns on their clothes?
@thin dirge elders and spirits
Elders.

ok so following the thing where elders fall from the sky too
But we also have the ancestor motives.
i mean isle is the beginning and credit is the end so
makes sense why they'd be similar. most songs are like that too
Yall see where I’m getting here?
yeah Megan likes diamonds and triangles
yes, the skykids are sort of like an elder 2.0
Well yea
we're a new generation of elders'nt
They used the leftover light to create us
Cause they look faded out like how Elders looked like without being glowy-
/tho ancesstors clothes also have that pattern??
Yeah
Yep
Also there were 12 elders
@hushed steeple what
i mean, 8 and 9 elders are understandable.
but 12?
elaborate please
i am intrigued
/ooh, did the elders taught the ancestors the pattern onto their clothes
It’s from an old concept of the Valley story arc
There’s statues there that represent Ancestors, now Elders
In old Valley concept
according to isle murals the ancestors predate the elders
the diamond shapes might've existed far before their arrival
What if the conlang song is conlang like what Goob said what if it's just pure conlang
Also what have i done
No, I mean, the old concept of Elders
There were statues of them in old concept Valley
But in the concept, they originally planned for there to be more than 6 statues of those Elders
Maybe there are more realms?
Intentionally left there to make it look like there’s more than 6

I just explained it...
can you show what concept it is
which concept
Actually guys there are 7 elders
Yeah, Elders were know as Ancestors and Ancestor spirits were known as Ancients
eden
Oh my god reading yall discussing stuff feels like going to the underground vault library then found a table with some people and i join without understanding anything but interested anyways
King doesn't count he's the leader
In the old concept I mean
He's still an elder 
:O?
Wait eden has its elder?
Yes
Yeah, Elders were know as Ancestors and Ancestor spirits were known as Ancients in old concept
Oh
/maybe
Im just nee to the sky lore
So there’s only 6 Ancestors in old concepts

/aaah lore moff
This excludes Prince
Guys use me and Ginko as your big brains
its just her thing
Ah ok
It's Jen.
Here it is
trademark
Jen isn't jen with her slashes
Yep that one
It’s in phase 5
/ why do i always leave when people ask why i speak with slashes tho
yeee
Valley was where competitive stuff was held.
“More than 6 statues to suggest unseen Ancestors”
Ancestors, normal people
ah yeah, then that was back when ancestors were the names for our current elders
i mean, we got those dots on each constellation
wiat whAt
maybe there is ancestors that we havent meet or hidden
If you count in that image, there’s other 6 that’s been cut off
actually elders is quite a recent term iirc
So it’s 12
And Elders are like the government
/monarchs
still it's a concept
se we are talking about hidden ancestors?
I need hug someone pls hug i need hug to power my brain
Yey
the canon-ness of concepts are judged by how much of it made it in-game
if you can find those statues in valley, you might be on to something 

/do we have any idea how the statues would look like
Idk
what statues-
My brain’s currently off
other than the golden statues in valley probs 
oh nvm i see it
or maybe it reffering to those gravestones before fly race?

/also the phase 5 thing had one with "meeting the goddess" did they tried to do the hero's journey?
Hey Jen what do you mean by all these phase things
/phase 5 was valley
/story beat 3 was meeting the goddess
a goddess... they might reffering to the original concept of valley elder (the priestess)
Could it be the two ancestors got reborn? Regarding to the 8/10 gravestones
Or the others (graveworkers or future tellers) thought the two might die but nah they don't
Also valley have two elders. Would this mean something or i'm just assuming things
i... found that story line quite strange
like, are ancestors suppose to fight the creatures of light?
dead lorr
Thats just concept tho
Wait, did some theory said they died cause of fighting the creatures if light?
/yea tho
What's the cause of death tho
its so blurry i cant-
/kumo not suuure about that
What are dark stones
what does darkstones do actually
Absorb the Flame
thet old concept of valley was suppose to be very modern, their fires are decorative and no creatures dare to enter it
Absorb light.
Creates energy
Refined to make power diamonds
Oh that red stones in eden?
those stones taht whack you on eden
Dark stone may be an old concept tho
New concept is probably different and they create diamonds instead of just finding some stones of darkness there
hmmm 
thats sounds kinda sus ngl
i mean... forest are where they suppose to mine those stones right?
They use trees
maybe they did create diamond from dark stones ._.
there's a spirit called light miner
The gate of the Forest shrine hints how diamonds are made
They use trees to mine trees wjich are used to mine stone?
they're mining light?
/zac seems to be a new face
should i paste it?
yes moff here
I'm curious what is the light miner mining?

The gate of the Forest shrine hints how diamonds are made
There’s a cutscene that shows it.
The door to where you get the Elder Cutscene
/there's also a light farmer
Also, most players already have it opened it for you
/laugh spirit i believe
Well, for me at least
blame my phone for always crashing whenever cutscene started to play
light catcher 
about the tearful light miner, i did see a small part in the cave thats brighter than the surrounding. was gonna take a pic but then thought nah probs lighting issue as usual 
Guys my brain is broken
Oh i thought the word "light" in light miner meant "not weight"---
oh yeah i also see the red reflection in forest, just like your picture gink
i meant at the
spirit cave. there is a small white area inside
Oh i thought the word "light" in light miner meant "not weight"---
*not heavy pardon my byelingual moment
felt that
conlang language, old concept talk, miners talk
i know this is a little old subject but you know those stone piles you see around? could they be road markers like used in ancient Rome? wait no crying spirit made those so maybe not i guess
would that mean there was an ore for light???
i know this is a little old subject but you know those stone piles you see around? could they be road markers like used in ancient Rome? wait no crying spirit made those so maybe not i guess
oh I thought these were graves?
like they used whatever they had to make the grave
Since they were stuck inside?
yeah idk i guess they are bc the crying spirit made some for her buddies but ancient rome had stone piled road markers
possible @/ Rain the ones at
are most likely simple gravemarkers for us to understand that her friends died. but the ones in the entrances and exits are suspicious
oh shoot, sorry for the ping
Do the piles of stone appear anywhere else I cant remember?
in the sunny forest cave area and at a gate in forest is all i remember... 
mmmm triangles...lots of them
do they not also appear on gates?
or smth like that
like the markings?
just those 2 areas
probably stylistic choice?
does anyone have pics for them stones or is it forest exploring times for me?
im busy at the moment so i can't
i do im looking for them
Anyone know why does vault crumble at the part where whale comes out when heading to orbit-?
It’s not the thing at Vault
Cause that is waaayyy bigger than the one at Vault
It’s Elder-sized big
You could try flying to it or something?
And you’ll see that it’s big
i think
vault is originally built in eden
but it shatters
then it exist as memory in the current vault
thanks!
np
The one you see at the ascent is the exact same as the one in Vault. However, it’s a lot bigger somehow

they have different number of stones so maybe that means something?
haha

@solar relic all the masks are cracked (or were they like that before bc i don't really pay attention
the one in sunnyside has 4 stone plates, dunno about the first area stone pile
all the masks are cracked (or were they like that before bc i don't really pay attention
they look normal tbh
stupid question probs but what are these supposed to be
i go to find the stones and I come back for snth else lol
clocks for a rainbow
underground in the exit
update: the pale spot in
spirit area makes a different sound now i doubt its a lighting issue
With and without lamp
Oooo
Need to check in real quick🏎️
lemme record the sound
once this moff leaves

Maybe it's part of the tree that's near the cave
ill check how close the tree is 
Isn't it right outside?
once this moff leaves
Honk
its inside
No i mean the tree
the tree is making the same sound as that light portion
See Malamatina big brain
stupid question probs but what are these supposed to be
Does it means something that it's covered in dark plant?
Nah it's the clock for rainbow
Also abt the stacked stones Ginko sent pics of earlier, yesterday i said those might be makeshift memorials for low class/working class spirits who couldn't afford proper graves
i think #questions-and-help know the rainbow time better than us
better ask them
same with the mushroom circle time
I know this is out of the blue but I have this question
Are all the elders non-binary
They are up to interpretation ig
Like is there even a concept of gender in sky?
Not rlly
« Elders are very ancient. We don't know their age or birthdays, gender, or if age & gender existed » canon doc
Hmm
they're all genderless and like kumo said up to interpretation if u wanna say she/he
we do end up saying she and he to certain elders and spirits so 
I don't think skykids have parents too like
They just exist there out of nowhere
About the sound thing, wouldn't that probably be just part of a tree?
i suggest reading the pins or starting with the canon doc first 
That's what wood sounds like
||"what's your gender?" "star" "no what's in your pants" "light"||
ingame
About the sound thing, wouldn't that probably be just part of a tree?
it was!![]()
i have a baby observation
Look very closely at the far right
Last dude had a book
I don't think it's clear
"Dear diary, today i died"
i suggest reading the pins or starting with the canon doc first
@tender dune I did but thank you
stupid question probs but what are these supposed to be
@wide night there's actually a similar looking stone in prarie, the blue dot inside the circle is placed differently tho, just underneath the blue dot on top. might be a clock, or a compass
i was goning to say maybe they were going to school or smth and good stuck and died but then maybe they went in to study some rocks and got stuck and died
if u mean the one in the middle area of praire with the mantas, the clock is there for an old boat that was ridable. it was removed tho so only the clock remains
also the stones are totally different, might that mean she made temp graves then when she got out they actually made real graves for them and the cutscenes is her going back there to mourn?
That is likely
if u mean the one in the middle area of praire with the mantas, the clock is there for an old boat that was ridable. it was removed tho so only the clock remains
@tender dune ohhhhhhh ok thx
In general those stacked stones reappear in forest, i wonder if they can be spotted anywhere else?
i tried looking everywhere for them in forest, its just those 2 stacks
feel free to look tho im blind
And then the ones that the miner spirit makes
maybe because most people who died in forest died due to accidents or smth and there partners has to do smth quick?
forgot to send lol
what even started this convo about the miner I forgot lol
The valley graves -> overuse of dark stones -> ??? light stones -> light miner
Yeah that's what i remember about the convo
maybe because most people who died in forest died due to accidents or smth and there partners has to do smth quick?
@wide night ^ Probably! We don't knoe abt the customs in sky, if there was a religious system, any beliefs that existed or anything
I feel like this was what krills are before.
maybe because most people who died in forest died due to accidents or smth and there partners has to do smth quick?
@wide night but they're all in front of gates...
yes but maybe forest wasn't a place were people were resident and only went through for other reasons
I can't word it
Imma bring back the class system based on graves theory i said yesterday :
Stacked stones for those who were in lower classes / couldn't afford for a grave / memorial
Blue memorial : low-middle / middle class, they could afford for graves, used for spirits
Yellow / gold memorial [seen in Valley] : for important publiv figures / high class ancestors / champions
Well imo krills are in sky world from beginning macniii
i agree with your theory except the stacked stones were probably temp
If they were for the common class wouldn't we find more? Yet again they could probably be knocked easily
For some reason that specific social structure here makes me think that forest would be like countries at the peak of industeial revolution, the possibility of working accidents and poverty were v likely — whereas areas like the Valley, that are full cities, would have more wealth
@hushed steeple and this white krill is the last untainted one.
I don't remember if we see blue graves in Prairie, but considering that they were the ones catching butterflies and making boats, they could be in a p good economical condition
That's manta elder macnii
Pft
i agree with your theory except the stacked stones were probably temp
@wide night tbh i can see that, otherwise, since the rain is toxic apparently, the stones of the temp graves could have changed due to the falling rain with its harmful chemicals
@hushed steeple ok I didn't know that draft
K
A close pic of that in game one
Imagine one day the devs accidentally switch the krill and manta programming on accident and you go to Sanctuary and the mantas start beating you 😭😭😭
off subject but can you touch it or do you go through?
A close pic of that in game one
@hushed steeple
It's transparent
aww
I posted a pic earlier marking where you can see her from that close
So the reason skykids take damage out of rain is because the rain is toxic?
does that mean they don't have a physical body???
i mean we never really touch mantas we kind just float on them
They're pure light creature mayby that's why lily?
So the reason skykids take damage out of rain is because the rain is toxic?
I was wondering about this because in-land water won't hurt them but rain does
There are animals who can withstand poison or harsh conditions due to their skin, perhaps mantas have thick skin and immunity to the rain
Acid rain, possibly
so no physical body.?
Not acid rain i think
Sky is post-apocalyptic after all
but why does the rain stop when you step onto the last bridge? is it just because for the players or is it something with lore
Also, i saw someone refer to the manta killer krill's building as a theater, was is a theater or a factory???
since mantas are just pure light does that mean... they've been just waves all this time??
Hallucinations
Imo is a factory I mean nothing looks comfortable for you to sit and look at the manta get crushed
Sky kids are learning from ghosts and hallucinate funky animals yaaaaay
Maybe they don't exists lily
me and the boys chilling on creatures on from the electromagnetic spectrum
that's scary
manta plea
but they call back?
when you spam call they call back at u
Is there any way to save the manta
In wasteland?
?
Don't go to wasteland you'll never see her dying
It's 5000 percent dead
I mean every manta is almost the same size tho
when you spam call they call back at u
since mantas call back they must be alive and real right???right??
on the topic of mantas why do they know the way like how do they lead u is it just natural instinct??
That might be just an ingame thing and not connected to the lore //regarding the wasteland manta thing
There's no worse feeling in sky than getting attached to the manta that follows you and then see it die in gw
That might be just an ingame thing and not connected to the lore
A suffering to the eyes
Wait, that manta followed you?
it does show you where to go next
it does???
Like if you free the mantas and not do the bridge they circle around there
which manta?
The one that dies in GW
Maybe you don't even need to free it
Mantas are the best friend of skids
I think it's only in forest?
no?
forest manta follow u for a bit. gw one doesnt follow its also unridable
wait maybe yeah
Mantas are the best friend of skids
Not in prarie
Prairie manta are kidnappers
doesn't it start following your from prairie?
Not in prarie
@livid valley they're not friends if you're a coward and unwilling to tame them
so not only are they kidnappers, stalkers too???
oh no
😅 i think each manta u meet in each realm is different from the other.
please manta I want to have good faith in u, I love u

Oh I tame them and then crush then
Like, dogs don't stalk you, they follow you bc they love you
The dog is a robot
Mantas are to sky kids what dogs are to humans
the usual common theory is that the birds are showing u the way as we can see from isle elder cutscene
they're everywhere even in eden
Why did I suddenly have a thought about the Prince secretly having some Manta cemetry for the Mantas that died for the production of power diamonds...
The birds are the real hero of the game everyone else go home
to rebirth
To The Light I guess
I think the forest manta starts accompanying you from the first cutscene until the entrance to forest boneyard
oof
That's what i remember
yes when you enter forest it's there
I dont see manta following me in that green forest cave tho
nah its just the 2 that follow u in forest boneyard (i love them thats why i remember them
)
Oh YEAH! and then it gives u a little pat when you need to recharge
yes when you enter forest it's there
@wide night
Theories that make the Prince seem like a good guy make me soft, considering he's a literal child,
here u go the manta followers https://discordapp.com/channels/575762611111592007/575818672476782634/752446605982171140
If Prince was a genuine bad guy, he wouldn't even be saved in the concepts
Jdhdhd i literally can't bring myself to think that the Prince would become the Corrupted king
children are evil though
Can be, yea
Children are wonderful
bbye
have fun theorizing
I gtg, i wanna draw sky stuff after my classes but idk if I'll be able to hhh
In any event I think it's probably less that the king himself is bad and more that the king is a representation of the pollution/greed/general bad ethical practises of civilisation as a whole
Anywyaddb have fun yall!
I still think they're more of a child than anything tho. While Prince could be a spoiled child, sure, its hard for me to imagine the Prince/King being like that... idk, just doesn't seem to sit well with me.
That's just my opinion tho.
Reika did say it was left to us to interpret the King/Prince's role in the lore. We can have our own headcanons whether they're greedy spoiled child or some innocent child who easily made mistakes.
what does the king do exactly? or has done?
Well, its actually very vague
Some theorize he's a bad guy who's gone selfish and stuff
Some theorize they're just someone who made mistakes or something like that
i know everyone probably moved on from the topic when is as gone but I'm gonna bring it back anyways hoho
so if we assume the 4 stacked stones are temporary graves and we've seen they've only been found in forest so far, forest could have been a mostly unpopulated area that for whatever reason there arent much people living there so there is a high chance for people to get lost (also it's a forest)
now remember how we said mantas only guide you in forest, maybe that's because forest is the place where people get lost the most ?mantas just don't want us to die 
?
reverse bikini bottom maybe
also if the mantas are mostly trying to guide us why does it just stop at the spirit in the first krill area? it isn't trying to be like hide here and there it's just...watch me die? then after all it could just be like that to show players what happens when t
It's to aware new players

You know journey has a same scene where it shows a creature get attacked by the guardian there when players reach the wasteland like area, (i forgot the name)
hh I never played journey you just mean it's TGC's way to help us learn right? 

"watch and learn"?
I never played too .. just watched gameplay walkthrough
Maybe
sad I wish there was more the selfless manta, it deserves better
gotta love how there is no animation to it poofing it just disappears
I wish to krill those mantas in prairie village area,they always kidnapped me
then who will ferry us to the temple 
true as a moth they were the msot helpful of all
10 wedge cape
my moth brain couldn't think of the fact that I can just go near the clouds to recharge
lol
when u miss the manta ride in prairie village and u only have one wedge cape : 👁👄👁
do forest/valley and wasteland exist at the same time canonically? i mean wasteland is a broken version of those two realms so i was curious
/maybe maybe not
Wdym broken version-
/i think they exist at the same time tho,
hm
there’s no answer, it’s all up to you
wasteland's terrain is actually ruins of forest and valley if u see closely, koma
/also, nothing about it is confirmed by devs
hmmmmm okey thank u for the answers
/wait wut? it has valley ruins as well?
/hmmm???
As someone who's spent an insane amount of time in gw, I haven't seen many structural coincidences 
/the roof tho
with high pillars and stuff
/same architecture with the roofs in valley and gw
the entrance looks kinda similar ngl
The entrance?
The diamond factory is the same as forest's, that is the only coincidence I have seen
entrance in battlefield
Which one's the entrance?
i mean its pretty obvious when u go to battlefield
i dont hab a pic rn so i cant show it
Uh, do you mean the broken window we use as passageway?
hm no
am talking about battlefield
its rly big, just like the door/space we go through when we finish valley race
what we go through has a mesh pattern along the top, it’s not there in valley
hm i dunno its just another theory
/ mat pat noises
Wait, wasteland used to be a part of valley, right? Maybe that's why they look similar
/maybe? in the 7 days of sky they called valley "golden valley" instead of valley of triumph
the one krill area in gw is the final forest temple that connects to valley, it kinda makes sense that the next areas in gw is valley

It's scary and sad to imagine forest ending up like wasteland,,
yea😔
This is the entrance we were talking about (just the top tho)
/i like how the mesh is more complicated than the one we see in forest
the last two look the same
/but gw one has a shape of the prince at the bottom
Forest has it on top 
ok so I'm 99% sure I'm reading too much into it bUT
you know how basically all the birds we ever see are going towards eden/ "the Light"?
the only instance where we see birds not doing the same is in isle
first birds you ever see
The ones coming out of the cave
I might be blind but... I tried to count them and each time they turned out to be 8
8 birds always going against the flow
this info maybe be absolutely usless but thought I'd put it out there
Yeah, sometimes we theorists have our attention in some weird stuff 
the other day I was counting shields in gw battlefield
Most of meshes, structures are same in game to reduce game size
Hm, that's a fair point
Saw them
/noom was that you in the vault doc
/counting the sheilds
Imma check again cause I didn’t get the screenshot
/
noom was that you in the vault doc
Vault doc?
no, bluespirit counted the shields iirc
/ah
It looks like there’s more than 8 tho
Oh wait, I think there is 8... or 7?
Yep, 8
MmMm must represent the elders!1!
I counted again, and it’s 8
/tHeRe's 8 eLdeRs
Jen, which vault doc? I'm getting lost in the pins again ;;
the theory doc by butter
/ the og butter lol
/oooh nice
/i hope it means sth and not sth lore ppl looked too hard into
Probably could mean something
I'm at the optician and this how I decide to use my time while waiting lol
hmmhmm 8 birds
what could they ever mean
I wanna see if something happens to those birds when they fly away...
I think they just keep flying around right above the cave
I wanna try getting to them before they get out of the cave
I kinda wanna get someone with piggy back and a table and just go as high as possible next to the birds
I think once I was too close when I took a pic so they scattered and one went back into the cave then out
it's a cute detail
Them scattering when you take a pic
/wb slickback
hi were looking too deep into 8 birds in isle wanna join?lol

--Lurking mode on-- 
C...Can I share smth I thought of for lore 👉👈
yes !
/yesssss
YES
Sure, go ahead!
/do please sharee
So I thought of something last night. This probably has been talked about before and I may even be repeating words, but I felt that I should share this revelation.
Last night, when my friends and I were meeting the elders, I noticed how they don’t fly/don’t have capes (gw has one so they are excluded). This made me wonder, why is this? That’s when I thought... What if the children’s lives follow something similar to the Indian Caste system? Meaning, the children reincarnate multiple times to climb up the six castes of rebirth. Perhaps, the spirits determine the quality of the children’s actions through their lives. The elders perhaps once had capes/wings, but upon reaching their finest form, there was no need for them, the spirits letting them die in peace. They had reached their purest form through acts of heroism, kindness, and whatever else they had achieved before ascension. Now, they are our deities.
/ooooh fressssh take!
/ is this what the devs meant by skids will never grow up to be elders????
—We are. Not in our purest kind??—
Our karma is not good enough for us to be our purest form 
it's not my fault crabs are so flippable
/i left a moth onto the catapult with 0 warmning so that's...probably why
You monster (jk
/hmm, what would the king be then koda?
wow you
/koda can you climb down the caste system?
we do disturb wildlife by flipping crabs and riding animals
@sour goblet go on
As the real Caste system operates, you are capable of climbing either up or down the ladder. It’s a long process before reaching ascension. It’s basically like learning how to accept yourself and others and being kind no matter the reason or cause.
I saw a ping in this channel but idk how far back it was
/yea also sorry about that they pinged by accident
Nah its cool
** I’m thinking that we burn them darkness to get candles it’s a way of the devs saying “ burn the dark side of some one to get their good side”**
hello, can I join this lore? 
/do please join my friend!!!
Yes please!
YES
That brings me to think, like previously said, it’s mentioned that these children will never grow up. Perhaps there is something keeping them from reaching their purest form...
The spirits.
The spirits lurk amongst the land, restless until found by the children, being relived again and again. Because of this, they wish the children to live forever again and again, unlike themselves. Perhaps they have selfish desires to see these children born forever because they never had the chance to fully live their lives.
/ oh my the only thing we agree is that lore= vague and people = join.
/anything else sparks debate and stuff
/koda, that's really sad
YEAH :(((
oh god thats deep-

@sour goblet True, AND ALSO TO KEEP IT HOL ITS NAME “children”
HOLD-
do you consider us the lowest caste?
and elders the highest?
If so then what's in between?
children is the main thing about this theory?
/which caste would the prince and/or king be
so many questions
/which caste would the prince and/or king be
@gilded fossil The highland
I dont think there’s really castes, Lily. Since Skids are kinda an Elder subspecies anyway (neither the same nor a different species)
”IM TAKING THE HIGH GROUND”
/dud coulda been kicked down tho
Elders are definitely the highest. I don’t believe the children are the lowest caste. Perhaps in this universe, the lowest caste are ones with darkness.
”IM TAKING THE HIGH GROUND”
/imagine king t-posing
LOL
OOOOOO
good job, on reading the whole doc!
King flossing for an hour
Elders are definitely the highest. I don’t believe the children are the lowest caste. Perhaps in this universe, the lowest caste are ones with darkness.
/so that's why the krilss bonked us!!! they hated us on the higher caste
King flossing for an hour
@frail hearth Loop dancin
bruh I want the wl to loop dance 
King flossing for an hour
this but it's just the king
That’s what our light represents. Our value/ascension in the caste.
coughs lore ?
Though is the caste system notably unfair or, like a lot of them, are the dark creatueres convinced that they deserve their position?
JSYDH
@wide night , ah yes
KDJDKDJ
ok back to lore
Though is the caste system notably unfair or, like a lot of them, are the dark creatueres convinced that they deserve their position?
@hushed steeple I definitely believe they think they believe in their cause, or that they deserve to be as they are. I wonder whether or not krill are simple minded like animals, though.
Would krills be worsening their karma by hitting us or would their karma grow by doing that?
/oooh maybe they needed the light to get sum gud karrma
Now i understood the gatorade joke
/looool kumo
Would krills be worsening their karma by hitting us or would their karma grow by doing that?
@hushed steeple I think krill are the lowest of the low. There’s no turning back for them, so what’s the point of turning to the light? Only seek to destroy.
now that I think about, omg.
/oooh maybe they needed the light to get sum gud karrma
Karma = light?
Maybe every time they hit us they get a little bit of light
/oh i like that koda
But krillls do dodge our lights, not absorbing them
it is mentioned they « eat » light in the MOTD
why do I always think krills are basically dark kids In one body wanting revenge,and yet wanna be like the sky kids free, roaming, exploring
/they too low anywways, why bother to go up?
cluster of hungry souls
/oh yea everyone seen the lore moff doc right?
cluster of hungry souls
@sour goblet Souls wanting revenge ((oh god this is just fnaf vibe))
why do I always think krills are basically dark kids In one body wanting revenge,and yet wanna be like the sky kids free, roaming, exploring
They might be dead children, who were like spirits, but associated with something dark and became krills?
They might be dead children, who were like spirits, but associated with something dark and became krills? I
@hexed carbon I guess
/thatskyplayer youre making me think of that one very disturbing centipide
I’m-
What if the concept of venturing into the Eye of Eden was basically just to repeat the endless cycle of saving, sacrificing, and becoming one of those statues?
After we save those statues and die, we disappear into the ground, and we are very much the same to the other fallen light, in terms on appearances. What if the amount of light to be returned to those statues was indefinite? Like there will always be another batch of fallen children waiting to be saved, but as you save them, you ironically become one like them, except now instead, waiting to be saved by another sky kid
We don't know how many sky kids there were, as well as those fallen lights as statues, and because of what I said above, our attempts to save and break through the storm ironically helps it to persist? Like there will always be a batch of fallen lights waiting to be saved, and always another sky kid, to take their place, but ultimately add up to the pile, now sharing the same fate to those they tried to save?
I know we get reborn and all, go up to the orbit and stuff, but who's to say that was the old us? It's more likely that we left the old us petrified in the middle of the storm, while our new selves get to start over
We both put ourselves in that kind of struggle to end up in limbo, and at the same time, ascension.
I don’t think it’s the children who became dark, however. I like to think that the children follow a set path of life because they are wired to, much like animals and insects. They don’t think about why they do it, they just do. It’s their nature. Perhaps the krill are dark spirits instead...
They might be dead children, who were like spirits, but associated with something dark and became krills?
@hexed carbon Conga line of cursed Skids
I guess the theory of dark kids stays
one thing: krills are shown to exist alongside ancestors when they were alive, but skids didn’t exist alongside ancestors 
/Faux that briings up the question of who was the first batch of skids?
one thing: krills are shown to exist alongside ancestors when they were alive, but skids didn’t exist alongside ancestors
THIS
/in eden
Does sky creatures need foods
the ones that presumably tried to save the King/Prince from their downfall?
THATS WHY I THINK HOW I PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED...
They're like made of either darkness or light does they do,, eating?
Also on what Faux said: first, I think we leave our bodies behind but keep our souls and memories, and second, I’m forever partial to my head canon that the statues we save in Eden become little moff Skykids
Does sky creatures need foods
@tawny summit they’re made of light, so they don’t need to. But perhaps they can. like in Steven universe lol
those were the original sky kids, and we are nothing short of a replacement, since there is no seemingly possible end to the cycle
Also just mentioning this, light isnt visible if there's no darkness
maybe that's why we still get to relive all the other spirits
because our efforts would then just be useless in the end if it persists no matter the effort
and we never actually changed anything
just did see and relive the memories of the original sky kids
Also just mentioning this, light isnt visible if there's no darkness
Perhaps that’s why dark creatures believe they deserve to be as they are, but for all the wrong reasons.
maybe that's why we still get to relive all the other spirits
because our efforts would then just be useless in the end if it persists no matter the effort
But, how did the spirits died?
So my guess is the light and dark creatures are complementary, one won't exist if there's no the other
maybe that's why all those spirits still stay at Earth, they were never saved
or not. There's no way of saying for sure
WHAT IF the krills are basically sky kids who were ** supposed** to be skykids but instead they are failed “projects”
Perhaps the spirits stayed on the physical plane because they were never able to share their light.
The ecology of Sky consists of light and dark. Both are natural and just part of how the world works. That bit is confirmed to be canon
it's possible that everything was in a timeloop
time loop theory—
And now are trying to prevent us from our own light so we become like em
WHAT IF the krills are basically sky kids who were ** supposed** to be skykids but instead they are failed “projects”
In what kind of wad did they fail? They can fail in light, or darkness?
me is confusszled
@modest gull
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
There is NO LIGHT with out an opposite!,
Also i've been thinking about this thing: did skykids lose their memories when they reborn? The ingame system didn't reset our friendship/spirit nodes (yeah that would be very annoying) when we reborn but game system and lore might differ ig
woah
/eeeeey lore moffff

@tawny summit I don’t think so
I agree with slick, definitely not
so what are we theorising 'bout today?
so what are we theorising today?
@modest gull EVERYTHING
children of light, and darkness I think

Lots of thing
E V E R Y T H I N G I S E E
My theory that we’ve been building upon is that the children follow something similar to the Indian Caste system, among other things.
well if the children of darkness existed, there could be a possiblity but we haven't seen any references to them yet
I'm a lore moff starting today and i'm already absorbed in this
Wordbuilding stuff are interesting
but this is theorising land so yeh
Light kids->skykids->DARK KIDS/ADULTS??

everything is considered
Ground: Adults of the Dark

Light kids->skykids->DARK KIDS/ADULTS??
![]()
That might be close to elders
HOL UP
/still thinking why prince is white tho
THE ELDERS ARE KINDA DARK
i like how the elders were named after the hebrew alphabets
Skykids are nearly neutral
in fanon world
i like how the elders were named after the hebrew alphabets
/yea it was in the concepts, no longer canon, but we use them anyways
aleph, daleth, teth
Tru
kinda reminds me of someone
The elders are out of light? That's why in the elder cutscenes we give light to them
THE ELDERS ARE KINDA DARK
They were out of power, I think since they needed more light
The elders are out of light? That's why in the elder cutscenes we give light to them
@tawny summit
yeah i think so
so what Im trying to say earlier was
The Sky Kids are essentially stuck in limbo, unable to ascend into the orbit permanently, or get petrified for good, living their lives over and over again, without their prior awareness about it
/who let a kid die?
well I get to honk and doot my horn so I ain't complaining
idk
That’s also kinda why I don’t believe the time loop theory just because it’s sad and I don’t wanna
What’s messed is these kids all got these dead parents and siblings
but the more sad a thing is, the more likely it is true
Reality is often disappointing
i wanna theorize 'bout the krill
and they luv ya too much
Soo we die to GET NEW THINGS??
so much they ram their heads to ya instead of proper kisses
HOL UP
“I died and all I got was this dumb cape”
OOF
lmao HAHAHAHA
so what do you guys think bout the krills
said cape can make you fly
I need to make that a meme for #sky-memes
it ain't dumb fr
“I won a hair but at what cost” 
HAHA YES SLICK
I'm done w my tutor lesson and I'm here to point sth out and link it with philosophy again
Krills are angry anti social shrimps that get too excited when they see someone else
Me : wanting to join in but dont know how to join in also confused and not confused
Continue on -
/ hi pastel
We were thinking about how krill are clumps of dark creatures/spirits
the krills seem to hate/collect or destroy the light
they hang round things that steal light
/yes do please add your thought but no pressure pastel
i.e eden and the polluted water
(me thinking they like garbage like the racoons outside my house)
They
yeah
/ark krills tho?
Enchantment ancestors said “shoo”
/yes do please add your thought but no pressure pastel
I really dont have much thing to share, so like yeahh, I will prolly join in any time
i think that krills are like corrupted light or smth idk anymore
Feel free!
Well one thing we all can agree on is. They are darkness. It’s how they came to be darkness that’s the question.
can we krill krills and they loose power? 
idk what say anymore tho
/ oh woww several ppl are typing that's like super rare in lore chat
Or perhaps krill were never turned to darkness and were always existing.
👀 👀
As a moth I always thought they are some thing we should kill, although F U N N Y T H I N G I S T H A T W E A R E K I D S H O WW W W W
/its okay celestial, no need to big brain all the time
/
oh woww several ppl are typing that's like super rare in lore chat
@gilded fossil I feel responsible for this HAHA
I see lore moffs... But where's lore moff doc
Well one thing we all can agree on is. They are darkness. It’s how they came to be darkness that’s the question.
/oooh i thought krill mechanical but go on pleae
/that;s posted amio!
Oh ok
Imagine KRILLS BUT ELDERS MODE
so yeah
I have a theory

OH GOD NOES
Do share
tell us
what if the prince was an inncocent child and he saw the spirits being men to the ligth creatures, and he somehow sacraficed himslef and the king was sad and got corrupted
👀
Yknow i get that it's game mechanics that we still have currencies and emotes and know the functions of the game after we are reborn, but i learnt today that according to Socrates' theory, Psyche (the soul) used to live in the world of Ideas and then came to inhabit human bodies. When it became part of the human body, it lost it's memory and had to learn everything from the start. The knowledge still exists within the soul, but it has no recollection of it, so someone has to help rediscover it.
It reminds me of how we still have emotes, but we have to collect winged light all over again. We have no wings when we are reborn, we start at nearly nothing. We know where everything is, we have the knowledge and in this case light within us, but we need sth to bring it back. It also reminds me of how ppl theorize that children of light are the memories of the Prince. Maybe the Prince parallels the Psyche, and orbit is the world of Ideas. Maybe we really were designed to resemble him after the Prince when he died, and now his spirit and knowledge live within us
Guys, i can see the future and wanna know who the next TS is?
@slim pumice #general-sky-discussion or #questions-and-help
Thats a nice theory Indigo
How far can we go
What if the krills were secretly the elders testing us
@sour cradle To add onto this, what if the elders are capable of shaping darkness, hence their placement on the light/darkness scale.
/indigo did the ancestors be mean to the dark creatureas as well?
Megan created us, not the king
@sour cradle To add onto this, what if the elders are capable of shaping darkness, hence their placement on the light/darkness scale.
@sour goblet ELDER KRILL
/hey uh celestial do please dont quote long messages
oof
@modest gull dont quote long text it clogs the chat xD
ELDER KRILL ELDER KRILL
sorry
Dm
ELDER KRILL ELDER KRILL
@sour goblet YES SIR
YESSS
If the Universe is so big, then why won't it fight me?
/indigo did the ancestors be mean to the dark creatureas as well?
@gilded fossil i dont think so maybe the dark creatures were in hiding in their own place and when darkenss came they came and occupied the sky kingdom
Pet krill.
👀 👀 👀
What if the krills and darkness were old elders who are completely out of light, and no child helped them to give them any light and changed to a krill or a crab?
Later on, they were hidden in the dark forgetful.
p e t k r i l l
I also have another theory thats not related
THATSKY I LOVE THAT

@hexed carbon OOOOO
oooohh
Juicy lore 
but that would mean they're where hundreds of elders before us
True
mhm
So this implies that darkness brings one to crave light, making them power hungry (?)
So this implies that darkness brings one to crave light, making them power hungry (?)
@sour goblet I guess so
cause there's so many CRABS (srly it wants me to rip my hair out) and K r i l l
Would the corrupted king still have light within him?
I would be surprised if there would be more elders = more lore = more seasons = MORE FOOD FOR THE LORE TABLE
crabs will eat your hair after you rip it off

Eat everything
@sour goblet Y e e t s
wait
If shadows are lore, then what if the cape is made out of winged light (i think this has been said) and cosmetics are just our imagination and you have to buy the copyright from the spirits to use it as part of you. You see other skykids by sharing a candle, and the flame is the connection and you use a mental link to share what your idea is of yourself. when you share with someone you will eventually forget what they look like but if you become thier friend you will nevef forget 🙂
SO WAIT, WE HAVE NO SHOES UNLESS IF ITS FROM A SEASON

SO WHAT THE GAME IS TRYING TO TELL ME
There was a similar theory to that (without the copyright) 
PAY FOR SHOES??
Pay for shoes 
Ah yes, much like real life
Agreed, @sour goblet
cause its 11:57 pm over here
Bye celestial!
SO I WALK BARE FEET
Have fun @modest gull !!
and me needs sleep
SEE YA !!
baiiii!!!
Sneep!
S N E E P
ALL LEVELS
cause its 11:57 pm over here
@modest gull Scuse me, Its 11:04pm where I am 👁👁
Anyways, back to the lore?
**AND GO THROUGH THE DESERT SAND AND THE GRASS AND LAND
