/may i us the dimmed version ginko?
wait is that people worhsippung
Maybe king is showing gratitude towards megan?

You know how some show regret as they pray. This could be him showing regret
It represents connection. Its stated literally in a concept of Sky and it seems likely to me its still a thing in the current game
Huh?
pov ur an ancestor praying to the king while they eat a ball of light
I think that will be more beta (which is not allowed here)
Is that Beta-
Prophecy is not here yet..
ohhh
jshahah it pains me that prophecy is not here yet
We'll find out when we actually are in the season
Prophecy is in a few days

Its most likely inaccurate
still 5 days remaining
Based from the bugs in beta too

Wait a min-
i need it too
We're not at the castle when we fly to Orbit-
I thought the diamond was at the castle-
today i just found all the season icons have one thing in common
Rest of castle went up
But we're far from the top
today i just found all the season icons have one thing in common
@willow shoal maybe that means all comes from light
Its like we weren't from the castle itself
and the world’s basic color is yellow
Because it wasnt 
i think we were at the base of the castle before the camera panning out sequence
I only thought that's the top building of the castle
I dont have the english term in my head atm but stormlock first area is like a place of worship in a way. Then its the castle (which went up)
Mmmm watcha talkin-
U can already see from the way the statues are placed and the way the floor is designed
This feels like more solid proof for my headcanons then-
@tender dune like a temple?

I guess so?. Prayer temple like some egyptian temples
Prayer room?
Seems like... they build the eden diamon under the castle? In some kind of underground room?
Probs not a room, its open area
Hmm... There's a golden light thing coming out of the top bit of the castle-
the golden light is probably from the diamond
I once pointed out its a lot like the Elder beam thing that showcases the constellation
Thing is people keep saying eden diamond is built by ppl. My theory is that its natural 
i accidentally oob'd there a couple of times and it comes out from the floor
Nah, we were just flying away from the diamond
The same golden light can be seen coming from the diamond and going up
me headcanoning that the diamond thing is a cocoon
But we just flew away from the diamond
Then we see a seperate beam on the floating top of the castle
diamond is made of dark stone,right?
so it can’t glow itself, but needs to absorb the light and energy from outside, that’s why it glows.
that’s my theory
/am sorry for interupting
the disney castles, notice how in isle cutscene the top seems taller?
Because its the same castle...?
/ kadal keep the coccon theory
Light is red cuz of theme i guess (when ur dying)
i will jen
/it looks different
/one is taller? if they're the same they suppose to look the same?
Then the Ascent to Orbit is kinda... odd...
This is the top of the castle
i wonder what Bricky’s idea about that is
Cause we just flew from the area of the castle, as well as the other guys, but then we see the top bit of the castle again?
/hmm yea that's probably it
Am I kinda getting confuzzled about this?
/it coulda been some changes to the game back in old beta as well
Maybe we flying over the part of castle that didnt get nyoomed to th3 space
does castle have official name?
Eden Castle.
is that a moon? the first eden picture
I think its like how we see the weird circle in gw temple from shipwreck vs when we see the gw temple in battlefield
Is that pyramid bill cipher i see-
Anyway
Good night butter!
I... dont think its a crescent moon tbh. Its more like a solar eclipse
And the color of the sky really fit with it
/also floss had theory about it being a eclispe
jinx 
/okay about sky temperature tho
/i was thinking man it must be very hot in stormlock
Or it might switch from cold to hot almost instantly
skykids has really strong skin
Do we have skin? 
/ skin or clay?
we hav stone
/or is it even clay?
i guess haha
stone
I can only bet stone-
A hardened clay perhaps
who knows 
Clay
strong clay that debris can’t damage
Water is in its liquid form there
what’s our mask made out of
So the temperature might be not too extreme except some parts
what’s our mask made out of
@fast jasper stone
@fast jasper another hardened clay
paint
/gatorade
why not tgc’s codes haha?
why am i thinking the rhythm mask made out of obsidian-
yes
Ooh obsidian 
masks are made of stone, according to the canon lore doc
i thought that was a headcanon
it’s canon iirc
We are too chaotic to get a porcelain mask-
lMaO tRu
stuff would shatter
o oops i misread the doc then 
We bonked face first to the floating islands, whoever give us porcelain mask would be very tired to give us new masks everyday-
btw are crabs slightly bioluminescent? cause they turn a different colour when you bring them outside
guess it would depend on the lighting of the area you bring them to
like the sanctuary crabs
Just like chameleons i suppose? Their colour change doesn't look like light-creating
They don't glow like irl bioluminescent animals
They turn red though when they see us
the crabs usually turn grey tho when outside
they are seething with hatred
You see meerkat. A lot of people say they change color because of lighting issues but my own personal theory is they change color as gray in the sun because they want to aborb light but when they're in caves/indoors they're white which is similar to pale creatures in caves irl
true that
Woah that have a big possibility
o ye ginko do you have your compilation of krebs in different areas?
Interesting... some animals do have ability to turn their color darker to absorb more sunlight
just like your phone screen if you have auto brightness on
As u can see that gw crabs are outdoors (dark clr)
Wait if you bring a nice snacyqry crab to sanctuary caves, will it turn mean? Or vice versa?
What if it's like human skin cells when tanning but like, much more faster
It takes time to change something
Meanie stay meanie
Specially behaviour
Id link my crab summary report but yeah im on phone atm 
crabs also turn red when being roasted either than being angry
crab?
i still have that one last crab experiment to do too
Kreb kreb
Can you bring crabs to differnt areas with you
ginko's crab summary report
#lore-discussion-spoilers message
Thing is i heard that they turn yellow-red when held on flames because of something from the office (like a bug) and it remained that way?? 
crabs also turn red when being roasted either than being angry
I think it's their reaction to light
They turn red when recognizing skykids that are made of light and when roasted (exposed directly to light)
thank you res so much 
welcomee 
I think it's their reaction to light
They turn red when recognizing skykids that are made of light and when roasted (exposed directly to light)
in this aspect they work similarly to krill eyes![]()
It won't i think
No, they fall through. Same with jellyfish
ok
Only skykids can float on them... And Maybe ancestors
hello computer(?)

Only skykids can float on them... And Maybe ancestors
maybe it's because skids have light? i think it works similarly to how you can float as you ride on animals
on the mantas there’s a purple light holding you up
Jelly(mosquito) call spirit was floating on jellies?
They do float. Sry for late reply
FLOAT CRAB
Ill check with other fungi
Check again with jellyfish too then, because they used to not float (I think) unless something changed ??
does anything happen to the crabs when exposed to wl?
Yeah they float in fungi
does anything happen to the crabs when exposed to wl?
they keep shaking and turn red like they're about to attack the wl but they never do
Jellyfish... are there crabs near jellyfish??
In the cave in Sanctuary, and at the end of Forest if you bring one from the temple
inch resting
Ah heah
They does with fallen wings
I think they fall but ill speed go to sanc now
With manta they def fall. Tested that
Can krill float on manta elder?
coming soon to you in sky 2: electric boogaloo
wouldnt they attack it tho
Why don't crabs attack light creatures like they attack skykids
i think skykids glow a stronger light
With jellyfish they fall
maybe they do but only when they touch the ground
thats why they don't chase you if you fly
crabs too short to attack
Yall notice how the prophets look bigger and taller than the average spirits
in the teaser image they look about the same height to me
might be perspective though
since teaser images are usually much more panned out to fit all of the spirits
oh no i thanos snapped 2 crabs😂 😂 😂
I saw a vid and they looked bigger to me
we'll see in 2 days heh
wait i gotta see heights
Any other crab tests u want me to check?
hes a chonky boy
I saw a vid and they looked bigger to me
@inner comet isn't that part of beta still or can we talk about that here (sorry i'm still confused by some tags)
We can't discuss things here yet outside of the teasers, if you're referring to beta content please don't do that yet
that's beta content it shouldn't go here sorry
But if we're judging based on the teaser, it looks like they're a range of heights. One of them seems pretty tall but the one in the middle is kinda short
yeah on the teaser they all look pretty tall to me
i wonder if the middle one gets bullied about their height 
I wouldn't dare if I were one of the others, too close to the kneecaps
i wonder why the prairie bells are corrupt/dark before you light the candles
I guess it could have to do with activating the bells. They didn't used to be that way, it came from an update like a few months ago or something (can't remember exactly when)
It's similar to the bells in Sanctuary in the bell tower that were black but turn gold again when we've restored the memory fragment
ohhhhh
The only bells that stay gray are isle bells
I
inch resting
I know people have already done most of these expiritments but i want to see them for myself
And yes i have an entire memo dedicated to being a crab scientist
Have u read my crab summary?
Yes
When u drop crabs from high areas they just..slow free fall like so slow it looks like they're walking on air
Cool
Took maybe 5 or 10 mins for one to fall can't remember (we were losing our mind over witnessing jesuscrab))
U can take crabs anywhere (i took them to top of mountain)
Ok
We dropped it from timid gal
cool
that is a very long way down
ive warped to my friend with crabs before but we havnt really expiritmented besides trying to bring the forest temple crab to valley or at least as far as it can go(it keeps falling and getting lost in the clouds)
The things i did
Yeh thats kinda what i thought. I know i wasnt being very original
You can carry crabs with piggyback or warp (thats how we fast travel with them) but once ur swimming in water the crab will autodrop iirc
Do crabs float in water
no they sink
Hahah dw just another crab addict here 
so if i brought a crab to the middle of the ocean i would never see it again
i tried transporting a crab solo
How did it go
Not well i guess lmao
they all just sank
i tried doing a thing but the water was too deep so i couldnt grab the crabs back
There is one last experiment that i couldn't do yet because server keeps merging. Will probably have to do it with 8 of my friends in the server or something 
What expiriment
hi does someone knows where it is (i know its wasteland)
Try asking in #questions-and-help ^^
thanks
Also does anyone notice the little triangles at the sleeves of sky children’s clothes?
I wanna know what they represent
Don’t a lot of the spirits also have those little triangles?
triangles are a common motif in ancestor attire too iirc
I now notice that o.O
if i overthink it i would say that it plays in with sharper shapes representing technological advancement (diamonds basically) done by the ancestors
(i doubt they'd go so far though as to mean that lol)
I tried searching the meaning of the triangles in google but it gave me laundry tips instead
Oohh
In the concept it used to mean that, no longer canon tho but I like the idea
yep 
skid clothing reminds me of how you'd wrap a newborn baby for some reason
might be because of the main part of the clothing where it looks like it's wrapped around the skid body or it's my midnight brain playing tricks on me
Triangles were a common motif in Neolithic clothing. It’s basically how humans decorate clothes, but make it really really old
guys i found this thing while recollecting wl in the crab and jelly cave
Oh yeah, I think they look like hieroglyphics but they appear to be cut off 
Just give me a Sky writing system TGC please
Guys is there any lore for how gw fell apart and became like how it is now?
Most think war
It's still pretty open, but the weapons and shields lying around are suggestive
I think they look a little like clipped elders, left being the valley twins, then forest, then prairie, then Isle and his crook
wait was it among the elders or the dark creatures
@fast jasper is this in the sanctuary area? I'll see if I can glitch out and see the rest
Indeed
There is another shiny thing after Eden though..
That looks like a very small sun
Just got into sanctuary, but the texture is cropped too, so unable to see more oob unfortunately
It will likely be visible come the season
do you think that there was another valley elder before the twins?
If so, it would just be Samekh as one person, I think
yep
ugghhh i swear i will read it all
we were theorizing over crabs earlier
omg crabss whereeee
Lore chat loves crabs more than anything I swear 
kreb seems really protective of their area
krebies just wanna play
If so, it would just be Samekh as one person, I think
@hushed steeple that might explain why they only have one eye each
And one organic arm (the other is a prosthetic)
btw does anyone ever say anything about the dead bird at the valley citadel's gate?
oh it's a leftover from old beta
like a uhhh......trophy
Pines keeps hinting at crab lore, eventually it will be figured out
hmmmm that's anticlimactic but alrightt lmao
truly
crab king

Eden rain becomes crabs 
Did someone here mention having seen the sun symbol in the prairie? Went looking but couldn't find and would be very helpful to know.
Or if you've seen it anywhere outside the battlefield and Eden that'd be amazingly useful. I am further developing last night's hypothesis...
the traveler ||is in a place where clouds cover the sky and the day grows dark||
skybot no
Rocks have feet now oh no.
is it the one on prairie dock ??
@queen owl it's on the piers in the villages by the bells
Thanks both!
... That hint is both misleading and not lore. For shame Skybot, for shame.
imagine THE SHAME of saying something offtopic , not - related to lore , out of nowhere , in the lore chat
@pastel brook sneep
also forest rain is bad water aint it ?
Fine
since krills ( from what i've seen ) come from [ bad ] water , maybe krebs form like that too ?
Might be. Rain may also just be slippery and get in places that standing water doesn't
The standing water in wasteland is extra sludgy to get into those places too
were the changing station at the prairie always dark or is it a bug like the birds
ohhhh
Anyone have any theories about what this is supposed to be? It’s in hidden forest near the campfire in the second level
Clock for rainbow nothing much
Ohhh okay. I haven’t seen a rainbow before so I didn’t know 😅
what rainbow thing?
If the clock aligned a rainbow will appear
ohhhhh
Pretty cool I guess not alot people see it
The rainbow appears at 5:00 am/pm pdt
Where exactly is the rainbow clock? I tried looking for it once but didn't came across it
uhh its under a tree near the cave to sunny forest i think
there are dark plants growing atop of it
Somewhere near the end of part three of forest.
On the plateau
And yea, covered by dark planta
Okay noted
near the big bonfire on the river area @kindred oar
Will check. Thanks!
Lore chat loves crabs more than anything I swear
it me im sorry
it me im sorry
me tooi may have made a list of crab expiriments
i have made so many lists and pics/vids of crabs
same
Lore chat loves crabs more than anything I swear
wait wait wait
if crabs are dark creatures
how would roasted darkness taste like?
okay but
what about that plant in graveyard that turns into butterflies
are some dark plants butterfly eggs?
wait what
tbh i think the plants covered a butterfly pit
she means in graveyard, that butterfly pit
.>
i see it as butterflies caught in darkness, like mantas do in forest
i think its the same as when u uncover a pot with dark plants on them
i've never burnt the graveyard plant so idk
not the big plant koma
i mean, i thought i saw butterflies come out of a dark plant in forest too so. Butterfly eggs
then what planT
tiny round things with no spikes under the top of the highest structure
after the drak-plant stairs
eudhdn i have to go check brb
i have a pic lemme find it 
u know where the sneak stance spirit is?
above that area
theory: what if wax is actually butterfly eggs that didn't get to hatch because they got trapped in candles/dark plants?
finally
this is the buttefly pit @ koma

i tend to erase pics of things i talked about before and no one really found interesting thats why i coudnt find it in my folder.. 
I have made progress in my crab expiriments
Hi, how rare or often are the yellow metals used in the world of Sky? Are they gold? Or just yellowish metal?
How good are the ancestors with their metal craftsmanship? Are the shields made from stone or a different material entirely? I am doing a deep dive with these details for I am speculating what skykids would be like if they are mobilized for warfare, either to fight krills or each other
Yes I know but this is a deep dive speculation of an alternate universe or on a worldbuilder/historian viewpoint on how would the people of the Sky world cope with such a thing
What could go differently if the weapons used in the golden wasteland were much more effective against the krill? In their current technology, will they be able to stand a chance against krills (and possible ancestor to ancestors conflict) with the current materials provided in the world
It is by all means not a suggestion for the game to give it PvP elements, no
The game is not intended for such
With all that said, this is mere speculation rather than suggestion
For we have seen that the ancestors in the Golden Wasteland stood no chance against these seemingly unkillable beasts
Also is the Golden Wasteland a frontier against these Krills? Or are they a military society/government? Or perhaps they were forced to take and make arms to fend themselves?
So what are you assuming the krill are in this case?
I'm sorry if I don't seem to understand your question, I lack sleep for I need answers
But will try to answer your question to the best of my abilities
And to that I answer; can they be defeated with the current technological level of the world of Sky with the materials and natural resources (as seen on the game) to make a weapon or a tool to defeat the dark dragons
What do you think the krill are (so I can understand your theory)?
honestly I see them as war machines but that’s irrelevant
We've seen the fall of the Golden Wasteland and how the remains of the soldiers grow in intensity the more we go towards the end as if they made their last stand, upon investigating, we see no corpses/remains of krills, meaning could they perhaps be beyond powerful and advanced than the ancestors for them to beat the krills?
Irrelevant? It is relevant in my case
Interesting, war machines you say?
That begs the question, who made them? How are they made?
And why
one could argue krills are made like mantas are, basically a culmination of darkness as mantas are culminations of light
Interesting, so your theory is that no ancestors were involved in making these seemingly unstoppable killing machines?
yeah, i believe all creatures aside from possibly crabs are natural and not man-made
Interesting take indeed
and i don’t believe them to be unstoppable at all, they have many exploitable weak spots and maneuvers on the battlefield
let’s say you have your group of soldiers with shields and spears, and a krill primes on the group. They have plenty of time to get into a turtle formation so when the krill dives it impales itself on the spears, and the shields protect the soldiers
skids are children, of course we can’t fight them
Interesting, although given how much our skykids fly upon contact with an aggro'd krill, one might say that a static turtle formation could cause more casualties than lose formation
But the take you have upon impaling itself with the spears begs the question
How strong is the armor of a krill for their spear to penetrate? Or how strong is the spear to not shatter upon impact?
Perhaps their eyes is the weakness
judging by the fact they attack with their face, yet seem to have little facial armour, i would say a series of spears through the facial exoskeleton would be a death sentence
I could agree with that as well, ever think that their face/eye is made of glass? I kinda see it that way
glass doesn’t exist in the world of sky 
Oh yeah! I missed that detail
My bad
Hmm I see I see
If they dont have access with glass making and their weapons and shields seemingly looked like it was made of stone
How did they forge the bells? Is there a mining area for these metals? Are they gold?
By determining a civilization/society on how advanced they could be in making tools and weapons determines their long survivability in threats
they seem to have metals, but their weapons are stone
a dev came into chat, I think it was Nick, and he commented that stone is the primary resource of the world of sky
Are children of light actual children whos souls are there, or are they fragments? Do we have any theories on this?
Penguin gives a really good question here
there’s some theories in the theory doc !
i believe it’s something to do with the king/prince 
Hmmm stone I see? Interesting
Where can i find the theory doc
in the pins 
Ok thank you
Oh man, a lot of research is still needed so that I'd have enough data to draw what a skykid/ancestor warrior would look like if they are facing krill threats or other sky people
Thank you for catering me and my questions/theories Bricky :D and Penguin and also Voluntary
I will return later in the morning
My questions have been satisfied for now and I shall now get a 05:25 am sleep
Has anyone spoken about why the isle elder’s mask is the only one missing on the eden gate in home space? Seems a little odd
I think weve talked about it but i dont know any thoeries
i have a few theories but too lazy to message link them
gnight
well, there’s the boring answer and the fun answer
boring: it’s a beta thing, isle wasn’t really considered a realm, more a tutorial. thus the elder didn’t exactly matter.
fun answer: you get to make up your own answer :3
can someone pass me a pic of the light constellation
i have way too many favorite friends and censoring their names blocks half of the constellation jshsh
it looks like a crown i think
king's crown
also i just erased my friends names/icons with editing in gallery lol
boring: it’s a beta thing, isle wasn’t really considered a realm, more a tutorial. thus the elder didn’t exactly matter.
i boo at this boring answerisle has so much lore everywhere (and now with SoP isle lore will explode)
yEs thank you
np
Okay i give up what is this place and what purpose does it serve? I'm sure you guys know all about it LOL. Sorry I'm a bit of a newbie hope this isn't annoying 
not really booing you lmao, just booing that answer that i've seen peeps use
i think that place is just a liddol...lore corner
there are too many things in isle that show that its more than just a 'beta thing', thats why
this might be interesting for u kubbimo. tbh i still dunno what those buildings in the middle are i tried to find them in game but gave up 
https://discordapp.com/channels/575762611111592007/632004389137154048/749961593240158339
thank u... very interesting indeed. now i'm losing my mind a little less
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
if you want more questions answered, read this uwu
So the valley also has graves everywhere. Even moreso than the vault. The race entrances, the temple... So, all the roof buildings you go through. Am wondering if it's maybe considered some sort of greathonour, for their famed sportsmen or something.
if we want to go dark execute the loosing team but there's not nearly enough for that
but also game limitations
And no idea where I'm going for with it, but last thought for the night: the crab legs when flipped really, really remind me of like wind up beetle toys I had as a kid. With the way the legs wriggle.
maybe the sport is really dangerous?
the graves at the beginning of the race are decorated with gold, so I'm personally leaning towards the honor theory, that those graves were placed at the beginnings of races as some sort of great honor for important people
Hey, so this probably doesn't belong in this chat, but I got the karate mask today and I realized that it doesn't cover over the original face, it swaps it out. I don't know how I didn't notice that before, that the face is always covered by a mask. It gave me some odd vibes of the Mask Maker in Hollow Knight 😛
Oh! I got a question! What's up with the Krill trying to attack the Vault of Knowledge?
It gave me some odd vibes of the Mask Maker in Hollow Knight 😛
@fallen epoch
I see exactly where you come from.
That pic u sent earlier
I simply thought it was an overall view of forest and it’s factory but it does hold a mystery bc the main building in the mural looks nothing like the main forest factory
It looks like a building I’ve seen in golden wasteland and reika said that both buildings have similar motifs
And then I gave up theorizing
listening to Painting got me thinking about Alef as lucifer theory.
ive got a counterpoint. if the prince is the darkness that made them fell, why was his head connecting with elder stars from each constellation?
one could argue that the circular light surrounding the prince is the « light », which slowly fades around him
but tbh ive abandoned lucifer theory for beta prophecy reasons 
counter to counterpoint: that symbolizes his former status as an “angel”
Wait what is the alef is lucifer theory
Lucifer Theory
#lore-discussion-spoilers message
Former angels are regarded as fallen angels
Unable to return to heaven
could the statues be “fallen angels”?
My theory is that CoTL are past Sky Kids, our true ancestors that were wiped out during Eden’s Fall, that’s why you find their statues there. The WL found through the realms are their remnants, scattered across the Sky Kingdom. Once you return their light, they awaken once again.
Could make sense :0 since in the beginning we are told to “return the light” or flame
Ye
That was theorized in this chat in the past! And yeah, its definitely possible!
Ah, I see.
what if ..
we are alef and we’re told to return the flame bc he hoarded too many into himself. megabird just removes his memories and makes him give his light baxk
Oof
(inspiration drawn from bricky&null&others)
That is so chaotic haha
"Return the light of the fallen"
But who were the fallen anyway?
the statues in eden
I figured it was the elders :0
Naw like
Who/what are they exactly?
up to you
ohh
Were they really sky kids? Fragmentations of memories of the fallen ones? Or just bounded and petrified children of the light?
Got me thinking
Maybe sky kids are the Children of the Light?
Are the statues in Eden children of lights?
I mean, that's how I saw it?
I could too but Im uncertain
Idk about the fallen
The lack of the lore is making me
But I always though skids are the Children of the Light
I don't see anyone else regarded both as a child, and a being of light
But maybe Prince was THE Child of the Light. Like, the incarnation of the Light of some sorts-
Not a being of light, but Child of THE LIGHT. Remember the fav friend constellation
maybe we are reincarnated scattered fragmentations of the prince's will to save their kingdom?
The fav friend constellation is called "The Light" and The Light is mentioned a few times in the game directly
It's the place where we're reborn in
So it was explicitly stated that we are children of the light?
We're not Children of Light, as in Children that are made of light, but Children of The Light, as in, The Light's Children
I see
Also, CN Narrator of Game Intro says "My child"
As in, we're the narrator's child-
So narrator is probably the Light
I guess so
I always imagined the Light being the soul or heart of Megabird
Its the sentient part of the Megabird
There's not much on other alternatives
So Ill take this as canon for now
Is it Megabird ir Meganbird?
Ohw lol
Well, auto-correct, I think
i was tired and mistyped
you don’t know the amount of times i’ve called her legbird
My brain goes too fast that even my fingers can't catch up and then I end up doing all kinds of typos
Oml
Is there an evident reason or anything on why we get reborn instead of going with the statues we had saved in Eden?
Apart from game meta, in our journey we relived numerous spirits' and elders' lives as well as help them pass on, and from that, we've essentially saved a civlization from limbo, except for the other spirits that are truly gone
So after we had completed Eden for the first time, is there really a reason for our sky kid to keep living in the material plane? Or is getting reborn a reward for the sky kid to now finally live as they please?
Getting reborn was a reward in the concept lore of Sky and also the story of Journey (TGC's other game)
Since the sky kid initally came there for that purpose to bring the lost stars home
So I don't think its necessarily a punishment like others are saying
And now the purpose has been served, so I guess its just a reward
How is it a punishment?
sorry to interrupt, i had a random thought if you guys want to hear it
Sure!
ok so, i think the megabird is actually very weak at the time in game where the sky child arrives, like her powers have become a fraction of what it once were
I guess the concept of reliving that kind of same life over and over again indefinitely without any prior knowledge about it is punishment similar to how it is in the planes of Limbo
i say very weak, but it appears to us still as ethereal power
But how did she become weak? Were the parting of the lost stars and fall of eden contributed to it?
Just wondering
i am really sorry, i have to go somewhere right now, i promise i will be back to answer all of your questions
Yeah, I did headcanon that over time, Megan wasn't as powerful as she was in the beginning. The Light, which was her soul, can be barely seen when you zoom out and see Megan in her full glory. I think over time, the Light wasn't as brilliant as it was before
Ok
Bye Lambda 
So I don't think its necessarily a punishment like others are saying
how did the others see it as a punishment?
I guess the concept of reliving that kind of same life over and over again indefinitely without any prior knowledge about it is punishment similar to how it is in the planes of Limbo
Kinda what you said
Also, we die over and over again
In Eden
(Really, really traumatically)
In their awareness, it wouldn't be really a punishment if the victim has no knowledge and awareness on the fact it happened indefinitely
(I cannot express enough how much PTSD Skykids must have which is why I keep saying it)
I think our skid does remember tho
Kinda makes you think if sky kids are despondent to any sort of emotion and sentiment after the whole spiel
Also I see it as Skykids retain their memories and progress after Eden, which is why Megan tells them their journey is just beginning after the first Eden run instead of giving the whole speech all over again
Also also I like to go by the head canon that ancestors teach Skykids how to feel emotions
inch resting
When you wake up after rebirth, very subtle differences there from the time your skid wakes up when you play the game for the first time implies our skid does have memories of past lives
In that case, skids are bounded by the same fate they are blessed to start their life with
btw is this a whale skele and if it is what killed it or it was a krill who killed it
Which doesn't amount to much if seen from a different perspective if we've already finished helping all spirits pass on and save the fallen statues
Like when your skid wakes up for the very first time when you play the game for the first time, as they were getting up, they were surprised to see the light stone on their chest
Oo i forgot that niche detail
However, after rebirth, your skid doesn't do that
They just... get up
Also, yeah, that does look like a whale-
Ohhh shoot-
Its was the baby of the Whale we saw-


How the darkness grows on their ribs makes me think if the whale died after the darkness somehow sprouted from within
Maybe it got corrupted but died in the process?
Looks like it actually crash landed on the building there-
It could have grown after Whale died
I mean, trapping butterfly for a long time or when butterflies die off, it creates dark plants-
Could have grown from the death of the Whale
Well, that's how I see it when it comes to dark plants
Maybe it can grow anywhere? Seeing that darkness grows on even non-soil ground
I see
Cause dark plants are seen anywhere butterflies were present
We have seen butterflies in forest, so there may have been abundant with them
wait are there any other plants than dark plants and our bioluminescent grass
Bioluminescent flowers
i mean like leafy plants
The door to the Forest factory/temple and also the murals at the first part of Forest suggest they actually also used butterfly pots to create diamonds-
Not much other than the regular grasses you see and flowers that seemed to glow when you walk thru them
Maybe they had to abandon that method because it created too much dark plants
Is the vault centered within the big building we see in the battlefield of GW?
And if so, then Vault is still within GW biome right?
That means after Valley, there's nothing but similar areas to GW, and due to how vast GW is compared to other maps, its possible that Prairie and Forest and Isle are the only ones that can currently support life
Most likely
I see it as inside the Eden mountain
The temple was at the foot of the Eden Mountain
It was like that in very old concepts too
what if the stars meant the elders when they fell
Ooo I see
Didn't notice that
from orbit
It was believed to be so
Mostly due to how vast GW is that I didn't consider to be it within or near a mountain
When you use rocket at GW social space, you'll see the Eden mountain, and its super close
That's why I think GW is not that far from Eden
The mountain, I mean
i think eden isn’t visible from the isle
Actually, it kinda is
But the Isle temple covers it
But when you fly from the temple, you see the Eden castle
If Eden is visible from that afar, would that mean Eden mountain is higher than everest?
We may have not been going in a linear line
One concept of Sky shows the map of the Sky Kingdom
Its in one big island, and we've been going around it
I think
But this is a fantasy game, it could be as high as Everest-
Come to think of it, does makes sense-
If not, as high as Olympus Mons
When you fly to Orbit, the top of the castle is literally reaching the stratosphere
Its possible but some areas are connected closely, like prairie and forest
Its top is actually reaching space-
When you fly to Orbit, the top of the castle is literally reaching the stratosphere
Which makes flight hella easier but slow down pls or be on fire
Due to air friction
Oh yeah
Being a fast typer is good
except for the part where u keep going thru typos
Also, if we're leaving the stratosphere, we should reach the speed of at least, mach 11, since earth's gravity still bounds us
Like that one time I called the King "Kiny"
But our skid doesn't seem to be at Mach 11
Sky doesn't work like our world tho
W8 this is a fantasy game so might be magic
King + Tiny = Kiny
Its a good nickname tho lol
Fast typer + fat fingers + on mobile = worse than average typers
true
Yes that is me rn
wait arent skykids lighter than usual? plus our cape so that kinda makes us float
Not are cape, are body. Even without a cape you can still "Glide"
ok I am back
When things that fly glide, they leave vaportrail at the tip of their wings, and skid's vaportrail comes from their hands doing a t pose apart from their cape actually making that
Welcome back lambda
okay, so the 1st Βeta testing didn’t have winged light yet?
Hello new Lore Moff!

who’s that directed at ?
nothing was said about elders and ancestors being of different species in the canon doc
only skids and elders in that skids cannot grow up to be elders and elders have always been elders
alright
how tall are ancestor spirits? are they the same height as the twins or shorter?
is anyone in the mood to read a three page text wall?
Wait do skids eat?
skids dont have mouth
How do they make noises tho
Lol
skids absorb light, and they fly with ponchos
it's safe to say they make noises with magic
now that I think about it, I never thought about that, it seems the more energy a call requires, the more closer to a fetal position a skid needs to be, could this reveal some insight into the source of the call?
We do have noses though
And mouths
How do you explain the Shhhhh emote
you need to bend down to perform a deep call while a normal call only involves nodding the head
shhhhh, we dont talk about that
I just made a double pun didn't I
Yup
And the yawning one too
aren’t those technically noises?
i have no idea to be honest, I haven't thought about emotes in depth
what are your thoughts on it?
Because pay attention to where they place their hands
oh crap i forgot the shivering emote
Over their mouths
If the devs didn’t want them to have mouths they would have changed the emotes
Because why put an emphasis on a body part that doesn’t exist
Now that I think of it we have solid evidence that they sleep
well the ancestors do sleep
what do you think the ancestors heights are
Evidence coming from the bed in Prarie, and the snoring from the level 2 version of the fainting emote
Hmmm
I’m still trying to figure out Skykid heights
it already has been figured out
let me find the link
i think it said the heights in the lore vautl
we have canonical skykid height
like from 2’9 to 4’10 or something
So If we compare the height of the tallest or smallest sky kids to the ancestors, we will get our answer
there were a lot of attempts to calculate height on the elders
i am not sure about ancestors
so the normal height is 3’2
we even had krill size determined to some accuracy by lego
#lore-discussion-spoilers message
tmw ur so short that the tallest skykid can reach ur shoulders
note measuring using the chart is still susceptible to perspective distortions but it is the best method we have and probably the best will be able to have currently
I cant grammar
this is what i got from this height comparison thing i found
Lol I’m as tall as an ancestor
actually skids are belly height
so ancestors are “humans”
basically
so elders arent rly like giants
they seem more like ppl taller than average
or athletes
thé elders heights are wack and aren’t accurate to their ending scene so i tend to disregard them
wait i gotta do the twin heights that are in the doc
Wouldn’t the sky kids also be human height since they are just smaller, younger versions of the ancestors?
not necessarily, we see an ancestor child that looks very different from ourselves
we aren’t the same as ancestors
but we’re similar
the sightseer’s kid is taller than skids
why aRE SKIDS SO SMOL
even smaller than an ancestor “human” come on we are demigods
well i did spiky and hill
they’re the same height, though
and damn they tall
rip
as i said, the heights in the doc are inaccurate since they don’t match the ending cutscene
oh well
i thought elders are gonna b a lot taller tham ancestors
like, teth is supposed to be 2x lamed’s height but they’re the same height in the cutscene
like giants
welp
ok bye everyone, i will come back with my theory tomorrow hopefully
Bye
Wait, aren’t the skids in every cutscene?
wait lamed’s cutscene place i think the height can be more accurate
so oob is an option to mesure i guess
i think what’d be best is if someone who knew how to do heights went to the all elders oob (since that’s the only accessible one now) and measured their skid to the elders
i did a very, and i mean very crude measurement and teth came out to around 6’2 and tsadi was like 9’5
Man, if only Elders were able to be in that stone form ancestors are
wait which elder tsadi
Wasteland
ohhh
i thought teth oob is fixed
Rip
all elder oobs that require tables don’t work anymore iirc
Lol
Well someone has to have footage
the problem is that the elders aren’t consistent throughout the cutscenes for some reason ?
like in the forest cutscene, teth is huge then in the vault cutscene shes like barely 2x our size
I think that the “group photo” in the Vault is a projection
isnt teth in the back like very back beside tsadi
yes
i guess that kinda explains
i took some photos in the oob but they weren’t ideal
is the valley cutscene oob still available
yes
Maybe Orbit would be the best place for measurements? It's the only place we are meant to get that close
that would make lamed a giant
The down side is their positions make it hard to measure
Is that a problem?
Lamed being BIG
i just
it doesn’t feel right ?
maybe it’s the vibes, but i don’t feel like lamed is supposed to be giant if in the two main cutscenes we see her, she’s pretty average sized
upload it directly from your photos
yep
OH HECC YEA
well she is is kneeling
my estimate is that all the elders are at least 6ft
Wait, I don’t think anyone answered my question earlier
Why were the Krill trying to break into the vault?
Some theorize they were actually trying to get out of vault 
Although, whether they were trying to break in or break free, the reasons are too vague to give a straightforward answer as to why
sorry
dont be sorry
Okay so-
You all know Orbit, right?
What if that place is heaven for the spirits?
I was thinking that it probably is, and the spirits had to edit it for skykids as a last resort
When they created us and stuff
I mean orbit is the universe, and the spirits live in constellations
So it makes sense
Alright, so in the prologue vid, they're talking about the Kingdom. How the stars (in Orbit presumably) kept the light. But one day it fell dark and the stars fell.
I really think the stars are us because we're represented as stars and when we come back from Orbit we're represented as stars drifting from the sky.
:D Thank you!
I noticed that we were talking about height earlier and I’ve had a question rattling my head for quite some time
Why are all the ruins and buildings and stuff so oversized
For instance, in valley the stands are MASSIVE
and the doors are huge
I have a possible answer. The Spirits and Elders are huge as well. So it was built to accomodate.
We came way after.
And yet some things seem to be skykid size such as lamps and the platforms in the trees in forest
Yeah I thought that too till I found the cheer emote. We see the spirits memories against the stands and the spirit is the same height as the step
I like to think now, that the Power Diamonds were built closer to the downfall of the Kingdom. And someone prophesized that the descendants would be smaller.
😌🥰
:3
I am wondering if the skykids are silicon-based life form
Because the skykids loses energy and turns into stone
Hitting an obstacle makes a crisp impact.
We dont know what skykids are made of officially so you can theorize whatever u want (silicon is a new fresh guess btw xD ). 
well we do know the texture though
skids look similar to the ancestors which are described to be made out of something with charcoal-like texture
and i heard that the sound effects for skykids were made with clay
the ancestors which are described to be made out of something with charcoal-like texture
Wait really?
from their appearances, It's safe to assume that, and given how their color palette seems to be focusing only from various degrees in the black to white palette
hitting an obstacle actually makes a ding like sound, kinda like a small bell
or is it the crashing sfx?
That ding sound sounds a lot like irl clay ding
I’m personally feeling parallels to golems for some reason
do you think its quite weird that there is some ancestors that need to be be given ACs twice?
like the waving guy in prairie and the crying lad in forest
I had this completely random idea just now
@bitter shale weird maybe, but I get more permanent wl
the reason crying requires 2 is the intensity of those last moments
but it doesn’t make sense for waving
It’s the cosmetics
For crying it’s that that trauma requires more to ‘heal’
They wanted to fit in more AC into the spirits, I think that’s why
Cry and wave are the only two emotes that go to lvl 6 so i dont think so
@bitter shale yes
well, i found something interesting among the season icons
just take a look
all of them are symmertric except gratitude
and their basic color is gold
Each season icon jus had a meaning to their season, I don’t think they looked into meaning of it being symmetric
but the gold icon maybe means the light?
I can tell u each meaning of the icons but u have to be more specific on when u say “gold” icon
Technically all of them are gold
interesting
So....which one are u talking about
Or do u want me to jus make a list on each meaning
ohhh i just try to find if they have something in common
But some symbols tend to have multiple meanings
I mean, some seasons are connected lore wise
But not the icons itself
Like enchantment symbol 
go ahead, I’m waiting for the connection
I remember its also been said that some symbols have multiple meanings. I dunno if they thought of multiple meanings in the previous ssns tho (stares at rhythm symbol)
Gratitude....well it’s a bit obvious what the symbol means but it can hold other meanings
Lightseeker is the symbol of 2 hands holding the light, belonging is supposed to represent a connecting chain, which symbolizes family coming together or people coming together. Winter...this is a bit obvious as well, there were multiple concepts of the winter icon but it mainly revolves around the ❄️
The enchantment icon holds multiple meanings but one main one is the symbol of the ark
Sanctuary, 99% sure it’s a manta symbol and the prophecy icon
Well I’m not allowed to discuss that just yet 🤫
And like I said
The icons have no connection
The seasons and the lore yes
But....not the icons
There’s no reason to
megan
That too
Megabird
Megabird nickname
i know
Then why ask
Then why ask
@sly kestrel idk the connection between icon and megan
That’s actually a new theory, I never heard of it being Megan before
Although it does seem off topic to add a symbol of Megan to the enchantment season
I mean, not enough to add it to the entire icon
u know,at my first look of it, i think it must be the harp
The story isn’t much based on the megabird itself
But she contributed to making the orbs
Yeah there’s theories that it played a role
But not much of a big one
Ahhh I see u have different views
Its her embers that made the orbs
Does ur theory at leasttttt include the fact that the enchantment spirits were vault scholars
Pretty sure that was made clear
Does it at least include the lightseeker season
Yes
enchantment orbs were made by spirits, weren’t they?
They were tweaked by the vault spirits
Trying to find my theory msg link gimme some time (its a bit old i didn't update it but it has the first part of my theory)
I have a summed up version of mine
Not all the details are there, but it explains most of it
This is my view and opinion on the backstory of the ark. The spirits from the season of lightseekers found this mysterious light source and decided to share it with the scholars, they then adapted it to make new powers, psychic, illusion, fire, water, air and earth. Scholars had an idea to change the world with this power, to seek prosperity and change, probably to undo the damage in wasteland. When the season started it even said that these spirits were on their way to prosperity. But with all that power and all the orbs in 1 single ark, it attracted a deadly storm and caused them to crash into a deserted place. They were stuck here without a way out so they decided to adapt to their environment and wear clothes for the desert and we see them as “turban” clothes. One of them even made a farm. With no way out, another one of the scholars painted murals on the ark so someone could know their story and maybe one day, someone will find the ancient ark buried underneath the sand and fulfill the ancestors wishes

Oops, I heard that enchantment spirits were witches/wizards, they carried the orbs to the eden but fell by the storm/krills
Found mine its a bit unupdated tho but the ark ember thing is there #lore-discussion-spoilers message
If I went to details...well it could flood this chat and i don’t wanna do that
Also my friend and i found some weird stuff in ark but im looking for more details to try to theorize
Some stuff that were..off
I have a tiny theory on the extra debris on the hidden island
I didn't screenshot all the anomalies we found but it seems like there is more than what the theory mentions
A lot of ppl questioned what’s with the extra boats and giant anchor
To satisfy my head, I simply said that there were others that knew about this hidden place. Ppl who prolly tried exploring before the ark crashed
There were 4 different types of boats there I believe
And who knows, could’ve been more underneath the sand
I did oob under the sand
Well not literally under the sand
No boats down. All on the edge of the surface xD
But..story wise
Yeah
||morals are always profound||
And the murals in the cave at the island
Do u think the scholars made that mural, or older and more ancient habitants made that mural
island? u mean the ark?
The ones in the crab cave?
sanc?
Forgotten ark^^
No I mean the hidden island where season of enchantment takes place
Ye
And island and a giant boat is not the same thing
ooh, so that’s clear
We dont have much difference in ppl doodle murals. They all have 2 lines (the ones in cave and ones on ark)
the spirit in the cave was named as “Explorer”
He was named a pioneer
Do you have any theories of the pillars found in ark? We see them in FA and in isle. I never saw ppl mention them
If ur referring to the spirit at isle of dawn
They're very abnormal
Looked like some ritual tbh 💀
But idk actually, but ur right, it did seem abnormal
which pillars?
Could’ve been simple design they came up with but
It seemed a bit random to me
Couldn’t explain it
They're found in front of crab cave. At red light.
In isle They're at the cursed wl pedestal
I think i have pics w8
Also, I forgot they are in isle too
Now that I think about it, there are some connections to isle and the hidden island
I think i erased the ones in FA cuz i thought ppl would ignore my findings but let me search thru my phone again 
The boat with the design of the ark and the lights, the pillars, and the mural similarities
.....now I’m a lil confused
Why do they have connection

Vault too
Vault has different pillars
It looks more formally made
And it looks more like some ritual with candles
Who knows what that dude was doing
isle has so much lore everywhere (and now with SoP isle lore will explode)
