/bacc to lore

hexed carbon
#

yes pls

#

about capes shadow thing..isn't it just bc capes are made of light and light has no shadow?

#

p h y s I c s

tender dune
#

Its possible lily

hexed carbon
#

Very

sour goblet
#

So, if the elders are part of darkness as shown by that chart earlier, perhaps darkness does not equal bad intent

worn citrus
#

@hexed carbon well err too bad
they tasty

wide night
#

oh damn I didn't know it was up do debate

hexed carbon

#

/everything is up to debate lily

OBJECTION

wide night
#

but like...physics

#

/also, i remember dark and darkness r 2 different things

sour cradle
wide night
#

do light creatures have shadows?

tender dune
#

And they're wonky hahah

wide night
#

so I guess they do have physically bodies after all

sour cradle
#

Spirit manta goes BRRRRR

tender dune
#

Like the 2 mantas in sanc have a small round shadow

wide night
#

oh yeah how about spirit manta?

#

shadow or no shadow?

#

gghhg too lazzyyy to checkk

Makes sense for projections

wide night
#

ok how about Spirits

sour cradle
#

ok how about Spirits
@wide night Due to them being spirits so no shadow I guess

sour goblet
#

Spirtits

sour cradle
#

Les work for the tgc SkyLOL

wide night
#

i thought so too but when it comes to lore

#

U can never be too sure

sour goblet
#

What are we talking about shadows for? Sorry I missed some of chat

tender dune
#

Yeah. Sadly there is always a fine line between game mechanics and lore 😔

wide night
#

yeah they're literal light sources anyways

hushed steeple
#

I mean, so are Skids, though

wide night
#

their capes

#

Not themselves

hushed steeple
#

Thats fair

heavy eagle
#

Tgc : ok so how do we make a bomb game, but with this specific budget on adding shadows

Devs :

Devs : make everything light

TGC : you're a genius

#

/that is genius ngl

sour cradle
#

“The elders?, the elders are pretty sus!, did you get the lore chat doc ? THATS A MUST!”

hushed steeple
#

the elders were ejected

sour cradle
#

a reference to a meme but sky mode

#

the elders were ejected
@hushed steeple The elders were the dark creatures

hexed carbon
#

||lets get back to the lore I’m scared if a mod caught us||

tender dune
#

They're always watching. Like skybean cEllieSkyHeart

sour goblet
#

So like I had previously mentioned, is it reasonable to say that darkness does not equal ill intent/evil? Because after all, the elders exhibit some darkness.

sour cradle
#

Yessir

hushed steeple
#

And Skykids are both light and dark

#

Neither is necessarily good or bad

tender dune
#

Yeah because they never told us what 'darkness' really meant so

sour cradle
#

So I suppose there should be darkness holders

sour goblet
#

That begs the question, what is the value of light and dark in this universe?

wide night
#

okok I have something to say but I feel like it might just be mechanics

you know how spirits have a center/orb thin g and it stays dark it you light it up, like giving it light and it starts ..and I use this word quite literally, projecting the spirit's memories?

#

oh no sent when there was a convo on going

tender dune
#

Light seems to be very important in skyworld. Its basically the whole purpose of the world + for megan + to all

hushed steeple
#

What if Skykids were made by Megan with the intent to be balanced but she’s biased and so they ended up more on the side of light idk man

tender dune
#

Yes lily. Even when u relive their memory they're enveloped and have the dark dust on them (before u SkyGoTeam )

wide night
#

so like....the orbs/cores are just projectors?

#

im a bit confused and want to hear your thoughts on this
teth(forest elder(did i get the name right)) stels the little flame and then proceeds to make the door open for us. Why was she mean when she is helping us?

@hushed thorn It may have something to do with how she died in her past life. Perhaps she is restless.

proud rover
#

ok, this is just a theory, but what if sky-kids are blind and we use echo-location to sense other players and our surroundings pPogKid

hushed thorn
#

our eyes are made of light

wide night
#

may be wrong but I do get the vibe the elders are so tired of this, some are physically fatigued, some asleep others frustrated others depressed n the twins well...I guess they have eachothers' company

proud rover
#

yesh, we are blinndd

tender dune
#

Well indigo. Many are with teth is mean and some of us (cough me) think her action is justifiable. Her old scrapped concept teth used to be an elder who lures us and steals our flame in the end. This version is very mild and sad

wide night
#

so she is helping us she's just mad bc she bored?

proud rover
#

yea shes weak also

hushed thorn
#

Ok

proud rover
#

like that maybe frustrates her

tender dune
#

Deezers our original face (maskless) is with our eyes closed so pPopcorn have fun theorizing

wide night
#

our eyes are made of light
ok how about this...we have light either our bodies and our eyes are just holes that the light is seen through

proud rover
#

mhmhmhmh

wide night
#

Oh dam

tender dune
#

Even with the mask our actual eyes are closed

wide night
#

forgot about thatone

proud rover
#

thats y we see sound frm animals also

sour goblet
#

ok how about this...we have light either our bodies and our eyes are just holes that the light is seen through
But aren’t our actual eyes under the mask always closed?

proud rover
#

we LITERALLY see sound

hushed thorn
#

honk

proud rover
#

echolocation bruv

tender dune
#

From what i remember about the devs "sound is half the experience"

proud rover
#

Oh. my

hushed thorn
#

honk

wide night
#

OH NO THE HINK..IT MAKES SENSE

#

you honk to locate your friends

tender dune
#

All theories are welcome they dont have to be approved by us btw SkyLOL

wide night
#

**hink

proud rover
#

bruhhhh, what started as me repeatedly honking has opened another door to another theoryyy

sour goblet
#

Perhaps it gives light (pun not intended) to the concept of the five senses

proud rover
#

yeshhh

sour goblet
#

And how allegedly they can enhance upon losing one

proud rover
#

ohhhh yess

sour goblet
#

That’s not true to real life, but perhaps the myth is true to the game

proud rover
#

Sound is more than 1/2 the experience

hushed thorn
#

And when we honk our calling to the light gets stronger

proud rover
#

ohhh, yea

wide night
#

lore chat stop blowing my mind challenge failed

proud rover
#

lol

hexed carbon
#

I

sour goblet
#

Does that mean “light” counts as actual light, or a metaphysical thing?

#

Or both?

proud rover
#

meta-physical

#

lol, idk wht tht means

tender dune
#

Beyond physical ^

proud rover
#

but it sounds cooler

#

ohhh

short owl
#

In real life, it's not that the sense gets stronger, but that you spend more resources on that sense. So it kinda has the effect of being stronger because you are more used to focusing on it and. Spend more thought time

proud rover
#

hmmmm m e t a

short owl
#

Also I too believe darkness isn't evil, just protective and pushed too far

sour goblet
#

Thinking back, I wonder why the elders need light after passing.

proud rover
#

yes thats y my sky kid missed most glow bois, cuz they're blind, not cuz they're bad at flying, pEyes pEyespEyespEyes

hushed thorn
#

yay class just finished so i can fully pay attention to lore now

yes pls

#

continue about lore

proud rover
#

noice 👌

hushed thorn
#

Soon im going to go thru wasteland and take too many pictures of lore related things

#

and king statues

sour goblet
#

What exactly do the elders use our light for?

proud rover
#

strengthening themselves, rite?

#

atleast tht wht i understood frm the cutscenes

#

they were missing light and were weak, and the light makes them strong

wide night
#

i say m a ybe keeping their culture alive?or like the mechanisms they know something along those lines?

sour cradle
#

KDJDKKSKS IM BACKSkyKDance

sour goblet
#

That seems too obvious and straightforward in my opinion ONLY BECAUSE light doesn’t necessarily give “power,” right? The elders have passed, so the light can’t necessarily transfer to them, can it?

proud rover
#

mhm, mhm nods

sour cradle
#

That seems too obvious and straightforward in my opinion ONLY BECAUSE light doesn’t necessarily give “power,” right? The elders have passed, so the light can’t necessarily transfer to them, can it?
@sour goblet The fact they take the light from sky kids

hushed thorn
#

Very big cape

wide night
#

Or just a flag that got nae naed because of idk time ig

sour goblet
#

I agree with lily

#

I don’t think it’s too significant

hushed thorn
#

I wonder why it was put there

wide night
#

it is dark and windy there so they probably bonked somehow

#

and this piece of fabric has been chilling there since

hushed thorn
#

Neat

wide night
#

do you have other ideas for why it's there?pPopcorn

#

i want different perspective!!

hushed thorn
#

maybe it was pit there as a warning

#

Also i thought of something not realted at all

#

what if the poop is the citadel bird

wide night
#

which bird?

hushed thorn
#

The one that is very big and looks dead

#

in frint if the first arch

wide night
#

my memory is genuinely failing me rn

hushed steeple
#

Heya SkyWave
I'm just gonna drop my shield compilations and run away

sly kestrel
#

No

hushed thorn
#

Do you think music sheets have anything to do with lore

sly kestrel
#

Someone thought about that too but we couldn’t rlly find anything

#

I jus concluded they were simple gameplay unlockables

tender dune
#

5?

#

I counted 6 diamond shields before pThink

#

comebacknoom SkyDontGo

queen owl
#

I don't suppose you have a map of those shields do you? I have a vague idea half baked but checking their positions and which way they point would help

#

If not absolutely fine I'll just run around later

tender dune
#

No i wasnt that bored but ill do that next time

queen owl
#

I just saw them and realised it might help

#

<3

#

Thanks. Will try remember let you know if I do.

hushed thorn
#

Lore chat seems slow

lethal stump
#

people are either asleep or in school :p

tender dune
#

Its just dead. Leave it as is uwu

#

Peace is nice

queen owl
#

I suspect the vault temple shield might immediately break the idea but shhh

#

Naptime for lore chat

hushed thorn
#

Ok

tender dune
#

Vault temple shield? pThink

hushed thorn
#

i still need to eat
Said i was going to eat 20 mins ago

#

Bye

queen owl
#

There's a shield against the vault elders shrine

#

Hang on I may actually have a screenshot with it in

lethal stump
#

do you mean wasteland pSquint

tender dune
#

I dont remember that in vault..

queen owl
#

facepalm

#

Yes

#

Yes I did mean wastela d

tender dune
#

😂

queen owl
#

Please excuse me

tender dune
#

Dm dm

queen owl
#

Words get misplaced and swapped and I don't realise ^^;

tender dune
#

Do we have a readymade gw map to cross the shield locations or do i have to make my own??

#

me art be wonky

queen owl
#

Also yes in form one that shield does wreck my idea BUT I'll poke the others and see if they fully contradict or not.

#

... there is one but I'm not sure if we may use it? Or how useful

wide night
#

i wish there were just empty templates of the general structure/landscape for maps so we can just fill in stuff we want

#

if only I had the time

lethal stump
#

i believe they marked where shields were

tender dune
#

Also bricky since ur here just wanted to say the spirits pose is very close to your mystery body. I remember someone mentioning that old beta had ancestor statues in eden so maybe its a beta reminant?? (Hopefully not but stickerGloomy )

lethal stump
#

the mystery body is sitting straight up, with hands on its lap

#

it’s sitting in our neutral position

hushed steeple
#

Ginko, I'm alive if you need me

tender dune
#

Yeah i saw it while i ran eden SkyLOL its just chilling horizontally

#

NOOOM

wide night
#

oml what mystery body

lethal stump
#

lemme grab a screenshot

tender dune
#

I remember seeing 6 diamond shields in gw i could be wrong tho

#

In battlefield only. 6 sun 6 diamond

lethal stump
#

it’s basically in the default sit

tender dune
#

Look at it chilling there SkyLOL

wide night
#

oh that's not just weirdly shaped rocks/debris?lol

#

y'all eyesight is very impressed

tender dune
#

Nah its very much body hhahaha

wide night
#

impressive

#

i couldn't see anything at first lol

hushed steeple
#

I'm not exactly sure. I mean, that's what I counted, 5, but perhaps I missed one in between the krills and the panic SkyLOL

lethal stump
#

looks too humanoid to be random debris

tender dune
#

Bricky did spend 4 hours exploring stormlock for lore so yee

queen owl
#

Ah yes there are. For some of it. One has shields marked, other doesn't.

hushed steeple
#

rather, Ginko, we should go together to count shields pPopcorn

tender dune
#

i disconnect a lot i dont think it will be pleasant for u pOhReally

#

Haven't been on on here for a while, seems have died out.
I feel like the next season is going to make this channel go nyoom once again

hushed steeple
#

Go n o o m ? pHelloOreo

queen owl
#

We do associate diamonds with elders, right?

hushed steeple
#

In a way, yeah

lethal stump
#

yes, diamonds are basically a symbol of technology

queen owl
#

Cool cool

prime pasture
#

yes, go nyoom nyoom. I think last time i saw this chat active was when Enchantment was here haha.
@queen owl yes.

hushed steeple
#

We've had some discussions, but nothing groundbreaking (or at least I don't think so)

prime pasture
#

I've been inactive here lately, since the lore chat is pretty dead these times

queen owl
#

~~oh goodie I just noticed the Eden note on shields this is going to be fun >.<

but squinting at Eden ones should help...~~

#

I'm only here when it's dead I get scared when it moves fast

prime pasture
#

I remember that one time when it was active in enchantment, there were putting murals in chronological order, theories, and stuff
though i have no idea when it died out again

hushed steeple
#

Sometimes it gets too heated stickerCold

lyric isle
#

but aside from that it was a literal beach episode

sadly

maniacal laughter in Prophecy AP reciever-to-be

prime pasture
#

when i saw the big manta, I was screaming "I SAW THAT BEFORE" and my moth friends didin't understand and told me it's jsut out how i saw it before

lyric isle
#

Same.

#

I was somewhat “called it”

prime pasture
#

I need to make it in to a meme for #sky-memes now haha
Sky Lore Communtiy: Hey! I have seen that before
Moths: What do you mean? It's brand new!

tender dune
#

the moment i saw 6 bells and each time the bells called more manta i was like. oh boy last one gonna be elder manta..

#

From what I know, Proph is going to be a ride

#

i was with my friend yesterday in FA and we discovered some weird stuff. dont wanna discuss it yet i guess till they're in the server tho stickerGloomy

lethal stump
#

i might, when i’m done cleaning my paints

prime pasture
#

Yeah, I'm trying not so spoiler myself to discover it together with moths i adopted with force. But from the concepts, I can tell it's gonna be a huge bomb
I still miss the seasons where all spirits weren't in one place though. Would've treated rhythm better if i knew. . .

lethal stump
#

i hope we get that format every now and then

#

maybe after prophecy

lyric isle
#

I’ve put a restraining order on myself regarding one of the cosmetics

#

anyway

#

(restraining order is ‘you can only see it on yourself x times before it’s in possession’)

hushed steeple
#

After prophecy, there'll be more variety in the seasons' mechanics, or at least that's what I understood

lyric isle
#

(x is to be decided)

#

Ye.

I'm mad at some beta videos, they put REAL big spoilers on their thumbnails

iirc u see that same icon at eden too

oh ok

tender dune

remnant?

hushed thorn
#

What was the bird in the beta

#

was it still jist a random bird

sly kestrel
#

It was for a light quest
U might see it in action if u search up sky light awaits on YouTube but u basically flew around collected lights around the citadel and the bird would give u a reward

#

Would’ve been cool if that bird had some other lore significance tho

#

Other than being a simple beta memory

wide night
#

does anyone think much of the background noise/distortion happening when you're in a silent place?

compact olive
#

No one has any theories on king using/ building home space?

#

Really?

#

Come on that’s gold ! 😆

#

The implications that the king had the home space built are astronomical

#

Think about it....

#

The reason the home space has those closets was for the king’s wardrobe...

#

Prince / child of light

#

Those icons aren’t of us (per se) they are of the prince

#

He had access to visit any of the civilizations

#

He’s essentially a time traveler even

tender dune
#

I'll hopefully read it in the morning cuz ur theories are cool stickerTired need to wake up early so gnight

compact olive
#

He commissioned or had the gates built. Which is probably why his Eden entrance is gianormous

hushed thorn
#

Wait how big is the king

#

Comparesd to a krill

compact olive
#

With a window into time he probably started seeing how things could be improved

hushed thorn
#

and compared to us

compact olive
#

Tiny

#

The prince inside the king is a skid size child. The king Mecha suit? No telling how big really

#

We can speculate it was large. Little smaller than The size of of a statue

hushed thorn
#

Ok

compact olive
#

Lemme find the concept art for jt

static spoke
#

Oooo

#

Concept art!

sinful anvil
#

how big is the king compared to tsadi?

compact olive
sinful anvil
#

wb gw elder

compact olive
#

Bigger than Tsadi by double maybe even triple

static spoke
#

Yep

compact olive
#

If you’re wondering if the king could ride a krill it depends on what you believe. This art shows that he essentially could ride a krill

#

But duuuuuudes....
he built the home space !!

sinful anvil
#

i think home is our time out jail

compact olive
#

But there’s imagery to suggest the king was in the home space

#

Lol, “time out jail” that sounds so messed up

lethal stump
#

the king in that concept is around 17’4 pPopcorn

compact olive
#

He always won at basket ball

#

That’s why they made the games hockey based in Valley

#

So the 17’4 king wouldn’t have unfair advantage

sinful anvil
#

iron freaking e, because we came back only to be small kiddies

lethal stump
hushed thorn
#

Oh hes big

compact olive
#

He’s little more than double Tsadi’s size

sinful anvil
#

wheres the mech suit so i can stop being short lmao

#

jkjk

compact olive
#

I wish!!!

lethal stump
#

although remember that the elders changed a lot from these concepts to now, until we see an animated model of the king we don’t know how tall he might be pCry

compact olive
#

What if the mech suit is just stilts under the long cape?

lethal stump
hushed thorn
#

Wouldnt it be great if the king appeared in prophecy

#

even if it was just a glimpse

compact olive
#

Mmmm......

lethal stump

i hope he does stickerPlease

(Zips lips)

#

tbh a 3D model of the king would probably make some phones blow up

lethal stump

i mean dépends on how they plan to animate him

#

It would make my head blow up

dépends on his design

hushed thorn
#

Well we have giant statues

Without telling you what prophecy is the name and the art already implies it’s about a time before the wasteland era

lethal stump
#

well, it’s confirmed to be an origin story

#

Yes...

hushed thorn
#

Im just internally screaming right now

#

I can’t say more... 🥺

#

i hc the black part on the king in concept design is kinda a cape tbh

compact olive
#

It is a cape

hushed thorn
#

Imagine if that was his body tho

#

just a big block

sinful anvil
#

p sur he moves smoothly

compact olive
#

Very rectangular

#

Or like jello

sinful anvil
#

what if alef kind of used this mech suit so long that his consciousness just merged with it like he cant separate from it physically now

compact olive
#

It looks like a cape in concept art...

#

Maybe he could fly

#

(O_O)

sinful anvil
#

ive read a fic that assumes he flies

hushed thorn
#

oh no giant flying king

compact olive
#

King: “I’m Batman!!”

hushed thorn
#

Wait how big is he compared to a krill

compact olive
#

With or without a wing span?

sinful anvil
#

hmm all the elders are humanlike. lamed and forest has hands

#

so the king...

hushed thorn
#

Im going to go find some lore

compact olive
#

Find more evidence of the king in home space

hushed thorn
#

Well i have some questions about forest

#

Im going to homt to find king stuff now

#

Also why is this diamond symbol everywhere

#

Bye

frail hearth
#

no matter how fast you run, you can't escape the diamonds

lyric isle
#

It’s a symbol of the ancestors

steady token
#

You guys like my new wig?

lethal stump
#

coicle

short owl
#

Maybe that's to mark it as very much NOT ancestor?

lethal stump
#

circles and related shapes (organic shapes) are ment to represent the light, separate from elders

short owl
#

Also thing to note: there is a hard stone dark shell on it's head where other mantas have a diamond

lethal stump
#

those eggs are just easter eggs, their affect on lore is debatable

dense umbra
#

Could be a secret sign from the devs still

short owl
#

there is plenty of evidence that all life is made of Megan's children. Not a lot of evidence that megan is a good parent though

lethal stump
#

megan should have her mom card revoked

#

My theory I came up with 30 seconds ago is the wine jars were a present from prairie elder that forest elder promptly ignored

(Also? Aren't there a few in the underground cave? Tbf I close my eyes and beg people to take me through there still so I could be very wrong)

crisp wave
#

i wonder why when you haven't friended somebody you need to sit down to talk

queen owl
#

Alright so I wanna poke shield locations to see if I can get more info, but I will forget why I wanted to and my laptop is throwing a hissy fit so I can't update a map with locations and directions regardless.

However, we have two shield icons. Diamond and sun. Sun has eight point, as does the child of light call, and in the dressing pods you do get a more circle form.
Also, the Eden elder is shown with an orb, not a diamond, in the vault depictions.
Ergo, I would like to postulate that the shields are of two separate armies - one of the elders, and one of the king.

That only sun ones were found in Eden is evidence for, alongside the symbols.

That the wasteland elder shrine and him in the curscene have a sun one is against the theory. Why would he not have an elder shield?
Really, when there are diamond and sun shields, why does he have a sun shield and nor a diamond one? Especially when he has a diamond weapon? I guess maybe shape preference?

Now two armies does not mean they were opposed to one another, and I mean he could have grabbed whatever was convenient, but is odd.

There's also the refugee not he wasteland seems to go towards him, not away from him. She isn't fleeing the wasteland. So. Presumably she came from elsewhere and was seeking sanctuary with an elder.

I have more thoughts but it's late and I just got distracted

#

As for sitting to talk... not sure if game design or lore reason. Possibly because you need to use light to recombine the shards of the king that exist within us all to be able to fully perceive one another? SkyShrug

heavy eagle
#

Sun symbols have also been found in Prairie

#

Also what refugee are you referring to?

wanton hill
#

i guess they're EASTER EGGS in a literal sense too...

#

I do agree though, that the refugee spirit raises a lot questions!

#

theres a refugee spirit in wasteland @heavy eagle

heavy eagle
#

Hhh i don't remember it, might check later

lethal stump
short owl
#

Alice: I use the polite telepath theory. Before you friend someone, you need to ask permission to enter eachother's heads. Because they can't talk to do this, the convention is that you sit at a candle. Good friends give eachother permission to talk freely

lethal stump
#

this one

heavy eagle
#

OH HER

wanton hill
#

i agree. the game is a lot safer if you cannot dm someone unless they agree to it first

#

also, there's something influential about sitting down to talk with someone. if you look at them, the benches look inherently friendly. i know the sky devs care a lot about faciliating good social interaction while avoiding negative social interaction, and i think this may have been a good way to do so

#

the candle system is whats interesting, though

#

why do you need candles to talk? and why can you still use candles if someone else put them before, and did not use them?

#

it's almost like a parking meter

vestal swift
#

Megabird wishes to be paid for all the light she gave us

#

The solution?

#

PARKING METERS

sinful anvil
#

i think the prince is a capable telepath but after he’s reincarnated we got badly nerfed

lethal stump
#

damn imagine the ruler of the kingdom being a telepath
imagine how much that power could be abused

velvet thunder
#

The parking metres be Eden lmao

vestal swift
#

Lamed constantly trying to wrest her mind from his control

lethal stump
#

telepath ≠ mind control

vestal swift
#

Like there are a lot of psychic spirits in vault

#

So maybe

lethal stump
#

it just means reading minds

vestal swift
#

Ye but like trying to block him out of her mind

#

So he can’t read what’s inside

sinful anvil
#

judging by this mind reading skill is inflexible for us, like how we need to exert it only by candles,
how capable is the prince of doing it then? i mean mind reading at all times can drive you insane

vestal swift
#

Hm

#

Maybe he has his own memory blocks to store others memories in

sinful anvil
#

then its ironic that in elder cutscenes i cant even interpret what each elder is thinking, like
if it were the prince he’s like I get it, Forest, you wanna be rude

vestal swift
#

I honestly don’t think teth would be rude the prince/king

sinful anvil
#

nah i was thinking about forest cutscene

vestal swift
#

I think she does it to us because she’s angry at what he did and we are basically his weaker reincarnation

#

Just a theory

sinful anvil
#

nERFED

short owl
#

What if we need candles BECAUSE the prince didn't? If Megan had mind control via being able to abuse the telepathy that sustained her being within the collective consciousness, then it is likely that at least some members of the population were telepathic. But telepathy can be quite the problem if you can't shut it off when you want. Our creator may have given us the candle system to spare us from having to hear everyone around us.

#

Additionally, you know what would make a good argument for someone being the leader? They can tell what it is people around them are thinking.

lethal stump
#

...how is that a good argument for someone to be leader ?

#

people usually keep their thoughts to themselves for a reason

sinful anvil
#

at least u can hear their needs

short owl
#

Harder to manipulate, more able to accomodate people, less likely to overlook someone's needs

lethal stump
#

I don’t know anyone who would be okay with invasion of privacy of that calibre

short owl
#

Also suspiciously good at noticing when someone needs something

hushed steeple
#

do you think masks were a part of the king/prince's agenda to attain unobstructed channel into the ancestors, or to weaken the mind control abilities of the megabird?

sinful anvil
#

well yeah a tyrant wouldnt care

hushed steeple
#

murphy's law intensifies

lethal stump
#

exactly

#

a telepathic leader would cause tonnes of problems, it would make tyranny even easier

short owl
#

A problem easily overlooked by a young society with few prior societies to learn from

lethal stump
#

the sky kingdom existed for thousands of years
and there were likely ancestor civilizations before that, as we see in the isle murals

sinful anvil
#

and like we already can imitate (horribly). the prince can mirror what everyone does and add that with mind reading he can mirror imaginations probably

vestal swift
#

damn

#

That’s cool

short owl
#

He may also not have started tyranical, but started out just trying to fix problems to reduce the number of unpleasent thoughts in his head cause it doesn't turn off

hushed steeple
#

question once you save a spirit after going to the temple does that spirit go back into orbit?

wasteland is more of a stretch between valley and vault, judging by the descriptions

quaint veldt
#

So the season of prophecy icon, is the same as the “your light” icon. It’s mentioned whenever you are lost, and in your friend tree. Your friends can send you a “gift of light.” So maybe “your light” is more than just your life force. Any thoughts?

wanton hill
#

also i know this was talked about several hours ago, but i personally think that mind reading would make someone a better leader. and as for being tempted to abuse power, well you already have a lot of power to abuse if youre a leader. If anything, having such a strong connection with people and their thoughts will make you more empathetic (unless youre a complete psychopath). It's easy for people to imagine others as less human to exploit them and not feel bad about it, but if you are inside their minds you will realize that there are human and deserving of rights. If you hear the problems of the disadvantaged all around, you can't turn a blind eye. you cant ignore it. So i think it would make someone more inclined to be a better servant of the people (since personally, i think thats what leaders are supposed to be!) not to mention all the added career benefits. No assasination attempts for me, bucko, I could hear those bad intentions a mile away! Yeah dude, I know why you tried to make that trade deal. Not happening. Wow, I've got food stuck in my teeth? Better get it out. You like people who wear blue? I'm wearing blue tomorrow then.

#

That's interesting. @quaint veldt I think this may be comparable to when people say "sustenance" for humans. Sky kids are made out of light, and light is their sustenance. When we talk about sustenance for humans, we talk about "soul food" and "spiritual sustenance". Friendship is an emotional need as well. I guess light = what you need, whatever it may be?

short owl
#

Also: Oh your partner is embarased to speak? Well that's been compensated for. Have someone who's not good with words and tone? Well that can be countered as well. Making your coworkers angry? That's not going to go go unnoticed. Secretly cursing me out and insulting me? Well that's certainly getting noticed.

wanton hill
#

But, just to confirm, is the gift of light symbol the same as the other symbols mentioned?

tropic island
#

would it be interesting if sky and hollow knight collab?

wanton hill
#

@short owl Yes absolutely! The benefits are endless!

short owl
#

Of course... there would be downsides, but how long would it take for them to get noticed by others?

#

How often would a smooth recovery at the right moment cover up the warning signs?

#

How long would it take for anyone to find out that the leader is about to blow?

wanton hill
#

Here's the thing though, you can just read someones mind to see if theyre suspecting you. And why they are suspecting you

lethal stump
#

i subscribe to the “absolute power corrupts absolutely” philosophy, i’m still made uneasy by the thought
it can also give one insights into someone’s trauma, their secrets, their fears, etc., which means whoever can see those things can use them to manipulate. and depending on the kind of telepathy, would the telepath be able to turn it on/off ? or would it be constant ? are they able to be fended against ? or is it practically unstoppable ?
i don’t know about you lot, but if i knew someone was a telepath i would get as far away from them as possible. especially if they were already in a position of power above me. “what can go wrong will go wrong”

short owl
#

And also, if the world JUST WON'T SHUSH, how long do you really think it would take for them to isolate themselves once that becomes an option

bitter shale
#

Oh we talkin about king's mind manipulation rn? pEyes

short owl
#

current theory: Megan manipulates, Aleph just can't stop listening no matter how badly he wants to

bitter shale
#

The thing about mind reading is, its like a double edge sword

You can see someone's darkest secret and developing paranoia at the same time

#

But it depends of that mind reader tbh

#

Wait whih one is the mind reader here

#

Alef or megan

lethal stump
#

yes, this is very vague and underdeveloped
but to be frank, the details of these abilities are down to headcanon

wanton hill
#

its beneficial in so many tangible ways but can take a real big toll on your mental health

bitter shale
#

Imagine hearing whisper for 24/7 nonstop

#

Stuff like that can have a big impact on someone's mental health and sanity

short owl
#

Megan needs to be at least telepathic within those that make her up in order to be a successful collective conciousness

#

so I guess that makes Megan both?

wanton hill
#

Well, I think you would develop a way of blocking it out. Just like how we can block out information (except those with sensory processing disorder). Unless, of course, you gain the ability from an older age. Some people who regain the ability to hear and see after not having them for years get extremely overwhelmed, but the rest of us can deal with it. (I mean besides me and other people who have issues like sensory processing or misophonia)

short owl
#

Oh and here is a more thing: In the stars, there would be a decent amount of physical distance between everyone. If distance is a factor, that makes people relatively quiet, and may make it so others have to put in effort to fully reach Aleph.

On one tiny planet though...

bitter shale
#

One tiny planet filled with sentient beings

#

That can be very overwhelming

wanton hill
#

What if you hear the thoughts of those you are closest to mentally at the time? Instead of physical distance, mental distance

#

since its a mental gift

bitter shale
#

Other than alef, do you think the elders can communicate telephatically with each other?

short owl
#

The effects would still play out. In the stars, you'd have quite a bit of time between talking to people, so they'd be relatively quiet. On a planet in one society you're probably going to be talking to people quite often which lets them get quite close mentally annd thus quite loud

#

Flos I had not considered that far

bitter shale
#

I mean... its possible

#

Like, they are from the same kind, stars

short owl
#

Maybe starrs hear the ones who have constilation lines directly connecting them

bitter shale
#

Huh, now thats a good one pEyes

thin dirge
#

Yeah

#

And yes, I've been lurking-
pSkyPeek

short owl
#

which makes it worse because it means that Aleph would have gone from a quite reasonable social group of 8 to a social group of one, only to wind up with a social group of way too many

bitter shale
#

Ooh SkyLOL pPopcorn

wanton hill
#

Possibly, but I think human beings are usually pretty good about developing ways to focus their attention and block out unneeded stuff. I have an issue with sound, for example. I have to wear noisecancelling headphones. From my perspective, there's so much sound in the world. So very much. There's more sounds than there are people around me, the hum of the computer, the air conditioner, the fan swirling, the neighbor mowing their lawn, the sink running in the kitchen. But no one else notices because they can filter senses.

bitter shale
#

Sensory overwhelming pEyes

wanton hill
#

yes exactly its so overwhelming

#

jeez im having flashbacks to the time where i supervised noisy kids in the middle of an imax theatre

bitter shale
#

To filtering stuff from one senses is one form of adaptation

#

Ouch, that must be hard

#

I might worded that wrong, oof

wanton hill
#

yes its weird. i can close my eyes. but i cant. close. my. EARS. its so unfair why do i get to close my eyes but not my ears

#

why arent we built with ear plugs like were built with eye shutters

short owl
#

Maube because when everything works right, our ears are passive perefrials and eyes are our focuses. We don't always need to focus on something, but we do always need alerting if something happens

#

But that's outside of lore

wanton hill
#

i think the biggest source of sensory information is the eyes. so in order to sleep or rest, it makes most sense to shut off that. then you still need something so you arent completely shut off from the world. Is that what you're saying? (albeit more eloquently)

#

but yes that is outside of sky lore

#

this channel comes up with more lore than what the lord of the rings series has i swear 😂

short owl
#

Yeah but 3/4 of it doesn't have a chancej tto be true. At least 3/4 of stuff I come up with

wanton hill
#

Well, you never know. And it's still well thought out, even if it isnt cannon. That's the point of lore, to come up with explanations for things!

hushed steeple
#

I see some new faces here

hushed steeple
#

I have to agree with bricky on this one, the problem isn't about what good thing can be achieved via telepathy, but rather why a telepath has to be good in the first place

short owl
#

I mean there might not be a real reason why a telepath has to be morally good, but it would still provide significant benefits over nontelepathic candidates

wanton hill
#

Thanks @hushed steeple , this helps a lot! I'm glad we have a google doc. Is it updated frequently based on the server discussion?

hushed steeple
#

I don't think so

short owl
#

The moff doc? Uh well... probably not terribly often. There are other stuff in the works that can be updated more frequently, but the cost of entry doesn't increase nearly as often as content goes woosh

hushed steeple
#

why would it provide significant benefits over nontelepathic candidates?

lethal stump
#

it’s an intro doc, it only explains basic information thus doesn’t need to be updated very frequently

short owl
#

Ooby, nice irony.

hushed steeple
wanton hill
#

well, as iwas talking about earlier, only someone who could not consider the emotions of others (ie a clinical psychopath) could ever handle being a telepath and a bad person at the same time. And personally, I think being a leader always gives too much power for someone who can't be trusted with it, regardless if they are telepathically gifted or not

normal berry
#

it's funny that the lore i'm most excited for is the implication of paper

lethal stump
#

you don’t have to be a psychopath to disregard peoples’ emotions

#

also psychopath is a clinically outdated term, use Antisocial Personality Disorder

short owl
#

It also assummes that they're handing being a telepath. If being a telepath in their environment is being too much to handle, you're kind of beyond the point where what they care about is a primary concerrn

lethal stump
#

this discussion can’t continue constructively unless we lay out the details of this telepathy

wanton hill
#

thats true, but if you read my previous rant about telepathic abilites, i explained why telepathy forces empathy unless you are simply incapable of feeling it. anyone can be a bad person, if they decide to say, view other people as subhuman or not within an in group. or if they ignore other peoples sufferings to serve themselves. but if you are a telepath, peoples minds and emotions are completely revealed to you.

lethal stump
#

is it on/off-able ? can it be focused to one individual, or is it always whoever’s in the area ? can it be fought against ? is there a limit of sorts ?
things like these define what can and can’t be done with this ability, but if we’re speaking telepathy in general then nothing can really come of this discussion past vague comments or assumptions

wanton hill
#

we did try to address that earlier but we did not come up with a conclusive answer, iirc

lethal stump
#

cause the problem is, it’s down to headcanon

short owl
#

If you can't turn off your telepathy and always hear those around you, you could easily overload, getting to the point where yu can'tcare about others. If others are lucky, you might be able to shut yourself in and limit who enters your range, but then you have the problem of you only ever hear those you let in, and miss information from just about everyone else

ember temple
#

What’s this talk about telepathy?

sharp lichen
#

I feel like getting reborn isn't actually being born again

#

It's just sacrificing your cape for ascended candles

short owl
#

oh, you know, making Aleph suffer from having a supernatural ability. That's all ^.^

wanton hill
#

yeah sensory overload, but for most telepaths if they were born as telepaths or at least had it for several years, would develop a form of filtering like sentient life forms typically have for all senses

ember temple
#

Which elder is Aleph again?

short owl
#

The prince

ember temple
#

Oh

short owl
#

True, but if you put someone who lived out in the country all their life in the middle of a city, they gonna be feeling the overload

wanton hill
#

ah probably

#

Yeah

#

so it wouldnt really be on/off, it would be adaptation

hushed steeple
#

what is the range of the telepathy?

i feel like you are overthinking it

wary jackal
#

So the upcoming TS is not TS with piano? SkyWhew

wanton hill
#

lambda, i spoke about the range earlier. see, what range are we talking about? what variable is it spread across? for the typical senses the range is physical distance because they are physical senses meant to sense things based on distance. but would telepathy apply the same way? or would it be some hypothetical "mental" distance, since it's not really a physical "how far away is this in the real world let me map it out" kind of thing

#

I think the clue for this would be finding out how the telepathy actually works. Like how it's done. Is it brainwaves of nearby people or is there some great mind system that would allow for a new sense to tune into?

thin dirge

So the upcoming TS is not TS with piano? SkyWhew
@wary jackal That's the Chinese ver. of Sky, which is different from Live and also has a different TS Schedule. Also, this isn't the right chat to talk about TS-

wide night
#

makes sense, after all they're connected

hushed steeple
wide night
#

look at noom's pic above, the spiny plate thing is the same one in beta but without the whale tale thing???

#

words, I don't know them

#

It's not the same as the one in valley

#

Look at the patterns of the one in valley then the one in vault, they're different tight?

#

right?

#

or am I tripping lol

hushed steeple
#

Looks same,and that's a bird statue

solar relic
#

those look a bit similar to the ones in sanctuary to me

wide night
#

oh bird? I always thought they were whale tails but considering we don't have animals in sky with such tails then birds make sense

tender dune
#

The one behind tsadi has a circle but also has those >> <<< triangles around it

#

4 triangles like the ones in valley

wind bone
#

It's cuz WL was a part of Valley at the time
Wasteland and valley have always been separate levels

golden girder
#

Lemme slither in here I've never been here before I don't think so

hushed steeple
#

Probably same just to reduce game size.....sqwarlockDed

wide night
#

sometimes I think I'm just blind at this point I didn't see the patterns

kind bobcat
#

Wasteland and valley have always been separate levels
I think they meant they were part of the capital at some point SkyLOL

hushed steeple
#

Industrial work behind the capital... Not bad

wind bone
#

I have poor reading comprehension 😔

tender dune
#

Same lily. I only noticed when i was gonna post the pic xD

kind bobcat
#

It's very likely that wasteland once looked more like valley.

#

man it's sad those turrets werent added in-game

hushed steeple
#

Just 5 on the top of temple

solar relic
#

i was thinking valley-gw-eden had similar architecture/design for the buildings

hushed steeple
#

No function tho

stone crater
#

huh
I have some questions i need answered

#

who is the other person the game is talking about?

#

what led to the storm?

#

where the krill inside/came with the storm?

#

Where did the sky kids originate from?

#

I have some ideas too

#

not just questions

#

first, the little texts happen when you light spirits or ‘abandon’ them, leave eden when in the middle of dying, lead you to the direction of where your supposed to go and etc

#

sure some might say, “well that’s just the game telling you what to do if your new”

#

but what if they were actually a part of something?

#

Hey hey, I just went to ||office|| and ||the spirit there today|| was normal at first, following them but near the end they said ||"We are doomed" (while looking at a poster of Journey I think? In the crab room) and "it will disappoint" (while sitting on the couch)||
Any idea what it means?

stone crater
#

it says “Together we will replenish the stars”

thin dirge
#

That's not lore related

tawny summit
#

Work burnout

thin dirge
#

The spirits represent the devs

neat fractal
#

I still wanna know what it means

thin dirge
#

I think that one's related to how Journey was created

neat fractal
#

Seems interesting

thin dirge
#

The company went bankrupt (or almost did) while creating Journey

#

And when they planned to make usernames anonymous in Journey, Sony at first refused cause they thougnt it wont sell if they did that

#

Its not really Sky related or lore related

#

Idk...

#

Corpses?

#

Idk

ember zodiac
#

Not corpses

hushed steeple
#

Stones

wide night
#

Probably temporary graves

@thin dirge well I'm sorry I'm new and didn't know, it seemed interesting like there was a story behind it so I thought I'd share

hushed steeple
#

@ember zodiac kindly delete the pic.

thin dirge
#

Its alright

hushed steeple

Look carefully

It's from betapFIRE

Only that hat.. cape is in live GWtloLaugh

#

It's sad if you think abt it, the team for Journey was burnt out and starting to lose hope at some point and some ppl from it also worked in sky, I'm just glad that they found a way to project their feelings, it can help a lot

#

Everybody say thank you devs SkyPray SkyBow

solar relic
#

i just backread and oh no i'm sad shejdn
yeah, i'm very thankful journey was a great success it and for tgc for pushing through and bringing out sky for us. i haven't seen that spirit in office but it's a nice tribute to really see how far tgc has come pWow
this really became tgc-lore-discussion-spoilers huh? aye sorry let's go back to lore

stone crater
#

the krills must have moved in and krilled all the spirits, that’s why golden wasteland is in ruin pThink

#

and the golden part of the name must have a meaning, since it leads to vault

tender dune
#

Sand is golden pPopcorn

stone crater
#

lol

#

hm

round river
#

A lot of gold probably ¯(◉‿◉)/¯

stone crater
#

oh right that reminds me

#

at the ship in golden wasteland

#

not the one at forgotten ark though

#

the one with the spirit gate

modest gull
#

👀

stone crater
#

there’s loads of bells and graves(?)

#

maybe the bells count as ‘golden’

#

lel

#

so

#

sky kids were like farming to the spirits

#

we always dropped from the sky

#

then when The Storm came almost everything went to ruin, at least the most important places in sky

#

golden waste land was the place where you can go to vault, Vault was abandoned but was still functional, then eden was most likely to be the main area of sky

#

there was orbit in eden, loads of krills, and winged light to collect

#

now that i’m talking about eden, i’m wondering what was the castle in the sky when we enter orbit

#

now about the other realms

#

isle is not as ruined as wasteland

#

it has the flame technology ( the two player door)

obsidian fjord
#

someone talking about lore

stone crater
#

y e s

obsidian fjord
#

i have found my place

stone crater
#

cool

obsidian fjord
#

in the circle of life

stone crater
#

yep

#

i’m just talking to myself in lore chat

obsidian fjord
#

it's okay go on

stone crater
#

ok cool

obsidian fjord
stone crater
#

so

#

prairie is a peaceful place

obsidian fjord
#

i used to think that isle is like a place of creation or smth

stone crater
#

it’s painting walls have some info too

#

isle is good

#

back to prairie

obsidian fjord
#

i have been trying to understand the wall paintings but stickerGloomy

stone crater
#

there is a picture in the chat

tender dune
#

The ones at shipwreck are actually used for power diamond making. You can see the golden molds in the forest temple and first area where manta gets krilled uwu

stone crater
#

poor manta

#

where and how did the manta even get there anyways???

#

was it like the manta in forest where it follows you?

#

it might have followed a sky kid to wasteland, and lost the sky kid

#

so it stayed there, waiting for the player it was following to come back(?)

obsidian fjord
#

WHAT

#

THATS SO SAD

stone crater
#

it’s like that dog that waited for its ownerpCry

tender dune
obsidian fjord
#

so in order to atone for it losing the kid, the manta keeps being reborn to show other sky kids the danger of the krills....

stone crater
#

visible pain

tender dune
#

Manta probably was stray i dont think it followed SkyLOL

obsidian fjord
#

smol mantas follow smol sky kids tho

stone crater
#

but then how did it go through the race

obsidian fjord
#

let's just hope that it was truly a stray

#

but i still feel bad

#

it keeps being resurrected only to be eaten by the krill

tender dune
#

My theory of manta light draining grinder factory was that it was the sole survivor of the factory but eitherway got krilled in the end. Because in forest we see the mantas being released from their prison after medidation pPopcorn its just my theory tho

obsidian fjord
#

oh.....

tender dune
#

Other reason why we see manta get krilled is to show krill's power and for us to fear them i guess. Since dark dragons will try to take our light

obsidian fjord
#

that's also sadddd

tender dune
#

i enjoy angst pFIRE

obsidian fjord
#

i couldn't find the painting walls pictures and theories here

#

i tried scrolling up and up

tender dune
#

usually found in the pins

#

Which ones are you looking for specifically?

stone crater
#

there so manyyy

obsidian fjord
#

any painting really

#

because i spent ages trying to understand them but....

tender dune
#

Im pretty sure i remember people posting isle murals together in a pic. I can't remember who

obsidian fjord
#

omg these wall paintings are so confusing

#

or am i just a dumdum

stone crater
#

dunno?

tender dune
#

What do u understand with these murals?

stone crater
#

second mural is us falling from the sky

#

the one under that is them taking us on boats

obsidian fjord
#

first one is people praying to the stars

#

humans or ? idk

stone crater
#

then the two under that mural is them sending us to a elder meditation place

tender dune
#

humans or ? idk
The ancestors (who are the spirits) yes

obsidian fjord
#

OH

#

wait the ancestors were humans ??

tender dune
#

We don't know tbh they're probs 'humans'

stone crater
#

h m

tender dune
#

We do see them eat and hunt and sleep so

obsidian fjord
#

huh......

tender dune
#

I say humans for easier understanding

stone crater
#

i mean like they are humanized light

tender dune
#

They were alive before y'know SkyLOL

stone crater
#

which the sky community calls them spirits

obsidian fjord
#

We do see them eat and hunt and sleep so
@tender dune this....makes sense

thin dirge
#

Four prophets... Four people in the mural... pThink

obsidian fjord
#

wait and is that an elder summoning mantas ...?

tender dune
#

second mural is us falling from the sky
You sure its us falling down? pPopcorn

stone crater
#

butterfly got a point tho

obsidian fjord
#

You sure its us falling down? pPopcorn
@tender dune probably the king's messengers or smth (?)

#

making the "humans" well...spirits (?)

tender dune
#

Yeah the isle elder but he's not summoning a manta but yeeting that orb upwards (his job is shepherding).

obsidian fjord
#

manta shepherd

tender dune
#

All light sheperd SkyLOL :

thin dirge
#

The last mural reminds me of the concept of Isle Elder once being the ferryman or shepherd. He was the person who shepherd souls to Megan

stone crater
#

i mean there’s 2 types of stars in the mural, 1 is the ones in the sky with the lines indicating that were falling chosen(?) from the spirits, second is the ones on the ground with the circle around it

thin dirge
#

I think its a concept of Isle Elder that's still in canon

obsidian fjord
#

Megan? is that a typo?

tender dune
obsidian fjord
#

yes i am a lore moff

tender dune
#

Megan is megabird. It happened from a typo bricky made before

obsidian fjord
#

OHH lmaooo

#

megan xD

thin dirge
#

It was auto correct I think

obsidian fjord
#

wait what megabird....? sorry i'm new to this lore discussion

#

my friends never discuss lore or anything :(

solar relic
#

the lore moff doc will explain pPopcorn

obsidian fjord
#

they just kidnap orphans and fly around

thin dirge
#

Well, lots of people do that

obsidian fjord
#

@sangti why you here ???

thin dirge
#

Not everyone chooses to dig into lore of Sky

stone crater
#

sky lore is interesting

obsidian fjord
#

one of my friends is lurking 👀

tender dune
#

Some say the stars that fell in isle mural were the elders. Some say its the light which they used to power the boats. My own persobal theory is that they're megan embers that happened to fall and still had power in them [since megan rebirths in mt. eden]

stone crater
#

ooh

tender dune
#

Which then led to civilization and etc etc kaboom and end

#

Welp

obsidian fjord
#

oooohh

stone crater
#

valley is interesting though

obsidian fjord
#

wait what's the megabird?

#

sangti i see you typing

idle geyser
#

I better check the doc first

thin dirge
#

Read the doc

obsidian fjord
#

OH THAT BIRD

#

bruh

#

i once told my friend about how the ending galaxies look like a giant bird but he said nah

#

it looks like a phoenix tho

#

if the sky children's souls and lights came from it, then it kinda explains how sky children can be reborn over and over again

#

also i noticed that one of the elders' name is Ayin

#

it is very clear that it was taken from Ayin Sof, or Ein Sof, one of the 10 Sefirot in Jewish Kabbalah

#

it means "unending"

tender dune
#

They have names but they're no longer canon but fanon SkyLOL they're hebrew. Pretty sure the hebrew meaning of them is in lore doc

#

Bricky made them lemme find it

obsidian fjord
#

oooh okayy

tender dune
bitter shale
#

i mean, megabird as a phoenix can work too

#

since phoenix symbolizing immortality
