Yet they still help you in eden.
@drifting heart that is unrelated im saying whales can not recharge us cuz they dont have sparkles
Light creatures are just the carriers.
@drifting heart yes
Talla invents new words because his brain is literally running on a mix of auxiliary power and way too much imagination.
This solves a lot of confusing lore parodoxes
Like what?
For instance if light creatures recharge us why dont whales?
Well.
Whales arent mean cuz they help us i eden
From a gameplay perspective you technically aren't supposed to even get near the whales.
Or I should say whale, singular.
There's only one whale in Sky.
From a gameplay perspective you technically aren't supposed to even get near the whales.
@drifting heart talla, there r always 2 explanations in a fictional universe the in universe explanations and the real life explanations
There's only one whale in Sky.
@drifting heart that is highly controversial and most certainly wrong
Not necessarily.
The Whale is clearly travelling to somewhere each time we see it.
Lets say there r 2 ppl a and b. a is in caverns and b is in eden both see a whale.....
Pyre, you're being hypocritical now.
Remember what you just told me in response of 'gameplay perspective'
You're literally going against it now.
Lore is always an in u iverse explanation. In lore, we ignore reL life explanations
Wha.... no....
In universe there's only one whale.
@drifting heart in universe is the conclusions we arrive at by observing sky
Mhm.
If we observe sky we can see there r 3 whales .
How do we know
Forest is fatter
Eh no, they're the same fatness.
And forest whale cant escape caverns cuz its too big
You just never see the other two from the butt
And theres probably and exist hidden in the clouds...
Also the whale is clearly diving into the clouds.
An exit*
What's to say there isn't a tunnel system it went through.
Observations also reveal that the caverns whale rests in one place after jumping around
And how does this point to that they're different whales exactly?
Things can stop for a second.

2 ppl each in valley and eden see a whale. If we say this is a game mech this is the real lifw
Explanation
It's a game mechanic, the game is programmed to load the whale.
Same logic applies if you have 3 skykids viewing all three whales at the same time.
It's still the same whale, in universe.
Its a multiplayer game. If 3 skids watch 3 different place it still means that they rin the same world
Not really.
It makes sense that there is only one living whale in universe, and each time we see it, as in ourselves not 3 skykids at once to screw with game mechanics, it's always coming out of the clouds like.. well a whale breaching.
Let me give u an earth explanation of your logic if i see a logger head in the pacific and a few weeks later another i the atlantic does that mean there is only one loggerhead in the whole world and its migrating like its on steroids?
No. This isn't even the real world lmao.
Not everything has to be exactly like earth.
Is it wrong to send yor friend to watch the loggerhead in the pacific while u watch the one in the atlantic just to confirm there r more than one?
Also let me counteract your loggerhead argument with another real world argument.
The 52 hertz whale
There's only one of it.
Yet it's sighted in multiple locations.
Well more 'heard' in multiple locations.
Yes so if u see a 52 hurtz whale and send a friend to your last sighting of it its not there this is not the case of the whale tho
Dude, seriously, it would make sense for there only to be one living sky whale.
How?
Well first off gameplay =/= lore
Cant there be more
Your logic of 2 skykids in different areas at the same time is just gameplay mechanics being manipulated to your thinking.
Heck there could be a thousand whales living in some distant clump of clouds and we might not know about them
Maybe yes.
But until that happens.
There is only one living whale.
Which is honestly pretty sad because everytime you see it pre-orbit cutscene, it's calling out.
Almost like it's trying to call for pod mates, but it doesn't know it's the last one.
It is doomed to die alone.
Do either of you have evidence to add proof to your views, or is this conjecture?
Your logic of 2 skykids in different areas at the same time is just gameplay mechanics being manipulated to your thinking.
@drifting heart think of sky as a single world populated by thousnds of skids since that is the truth.... sending someone to forest to check on whale one while u check on whale 3 is completely logical lorewise
Ironically we both have evidence.
Do either of you have evidence to add proof to your views, or is this conjecture?
@delicate coral yes if u send a friend to caverns while u go to eden u see 1 whale each. One in caverns and one in eden
His evidence is multiple players seeing, well multiple whales.
Mine is observation of the whale's movements, general locations, and the fact that it comes out of the clouds every time you see it.
Which is a bit odd.
If it were two whales.
Why would both be coming out of the clouds?
Why isn't one already floating around above the clouds?
Cuz thats where they live...
As of right now we are unsure whether multiplayer is a game mechanic aren’t we? Thus that whole argument is potentially in jeopardy
It like saying if there r more than one shark why r all the sightings in the water?
Pyre you're using faulty logic.
Which....
If they were two different individuals they would be doing different things.
Like using your shark logic.
Me and my friend sees two sharks of the same species in two different locations, but one is turning left and the other is diving down.
Additionally, I don’t think that the whales ‘coming out of the clouds’ is really evidence to your point... all creatures (of the same species) in sky function under the same code as each other, so sharing behaviours is true of all species.
all sharks swim and eat. whales jump outa clouds and im on my bet texting right now a few hours ago i was using my computer
Not u prophman
Yes but that's game code, we can't use game code to say they're different individuals.
I think that it’s equally faulty logic to say that A exhibits similar behaviour to B, therefore A is B
Huh so it deletes that acronym.
Also I corrected that portion Pyre.
I meant to say individuals.
Yeah but the sharks were doing different actions in their swimming.
When you mentioned sharks swimming the first time.
Your wording made it out to be they were doing the same exact action, as in same direction, same depth, etc.
Maybe slightly, but it's still the same arching emerge then dive.
The exception being eden
Because he goin' up.
Yet again like every animal was going upwards.
Maybe slightly but its still the same action swishing their tails
um hi
can someone tell me about the murals in the Prophecy cave? :3
Oh the murals?
Thatsike saying omg the dolphins r jumping why arentthey flying like birds?
what's the story behind it?
..Crud I actually haven't looked at the prophecy cave murals yet.
since the season is about the origins
When I was doing the season I just barreled to the trial lol.
i guess it'd be generally about the sky kingdom way back
Yes
I looked a the big one we got after the water trial and i think I can tell something about it
Oh? What does the water trial mural say?
Or like what can you infer from said mural.
I don't think the mural is finished yet though
Alright, I'll describe it first. Is that okay? :D
Sky Whales never swim.
@drifting heart i was making an example about how u could say the same thing about sharks
Oh wait that....
Imma fix that
Sooooo there r many whales right? Have i convinced u talla?
No, I'm being respectful and letting Brontosaurus describe the mural.
Brotosaurus is describing the mural? Im so sorry pls continue bronto
At the base of the mural, we can see an island. Slightly above that, there are a few spirits (they look the same as the ones on the Isle murals, can't quite remember how many there are) In the sky above all that, we can see clouds. Inside those clouds, there is some kind of half circle door. there is a little trail leading up to the door and I think it might look a little bit like the prophecy cave. Above the clouds we can see 2 stars falling down (3 trails, but one of the stars has already disappeared into the clouds)
Prob daleth being banished... and the prophets seeing that?
Those "Starts" look similar to the lights in the smaller murals at the entry to the cave. Though they aren't coloured I believe
Daleth is the prince right?
I'm in class right now, but maybe I'll be able to send the picture I took of the mural
No daleth is the isle elder
I still don't get these fanon names I legit can only figure 'em out if it's "X elder"
Ok then back to the whale debate
oof
Ok lets sort this out first
thank you guys!
If we send friends to watch different whales is that possible lorewise?
My teacher is almost finished explaining what we have to do so I'll send a screenshot in a minute!
Oh...
Well I mean Pyre.
I'm not doubting the possibility of there being more Whales.
The world of Sky is way too big for there not to be.
Ok lets start with this is sky multiplayer?
are you guys talking about the Whale or the Mega Manta?
Whale.
okay!
I'm on the side of the Cave/Wasteland cloud bit/Eden Whale is the same individual.
If it is multi player its ok to send ppl to watch whales and if its singleplayer the possibility of there bei g one whale exists
Pyre is on the side of they're different individuals.
I'm not really sure tbh
I mean to be fair though.
I am sure that there were more Whales once
(Because we can see the skeleton of one in forest)
Oh yeah and I'm not doubting that there are other individuals out there that we just don't know about.
But this, specific, whale from my perspective is the same individual.
If sky is multi player its ok to send ppl to watch whales thus confirming there r at least 3 whales and if its singleplayer the possibility of there bei g only one whale exists
We do have to keep the game mechanics in mind
So which is it
That's the iffy part.
Lore is a "maybe"
But in-game it's a no-brainer that it's multiplayer.
I don't really think the multiplayer part is important to the question
Yeah I actually think that both are possible regardless of multiplayer now that I think about it
We do have to keep the game mechanics in mind
@fading bear ok bronto i dont know how many times 8ve said this but in every fictional universe there r always 2 explanations the real life explanations and the in universe explanations lore is in universe and game mechs r rea life
Even if multiplayer is canon, they can’t exactly make only one whale appear at any given point in time
That’s just an obvious limitation of what the game can do
Also there's one point I want to bring up that not only works in our favor but also against us.
Here’s the mural btw, it was hard to take a good picture of it since it’s folded around a wall
You never see two Whales in the same place.
That's true
@fading bear ok bronto i dont know how many times 8ve said this but in every fictional universe there r always 2 explanations the real life explanations and the in universe explanations lore is in universe and game mechs r rea life
@teal orbit I know. No need to get defensive lol. I just meant that we shouldn't mix them up
Game limitations tend to get in the way of lore.
Yeah I actually think that both are possible regardless of multiplayer now that I think about it
@delicate coral if the game is multi player it makes sense 7 can send ppl to watch thw whales in cavern and Wasteland while i watch the one in eden, so we can confirm there r at least 3 whales existing simultaniously but if its single player the other players dont rlly exist
It could be one whale but game limitations show three because, well it has to.
Else the game itself wouldn't work.
Dont go to game mechs pls that isnt lore
In universe and real life explanations r different
So.. flying isn't lore?
The game is programmed to show the whale when players get to a certain point in the realms, so we can’t really use that as proof
I do think it would be kind of cute if it was one whale following us al the way to orbit
Otherwise the game would have to constantly check the location of every player in every realm and cross-reference between them to make sure there’s no multiple whales
Yeah lol, so it’s not really feasible to argue that we’re meant to reach a conclusion by sending multiple observers
But those r real life explanations
The star wars franchise makes everything to sell toys but there is always an in universe explanation same goes for almost
all fictional universes
Hey, I wanna bring up a topic about Pointing Pilgrim
Not now plsplspls
Ok
So the real reasons behind what the game does is not lore and we need to find the in universe explanations to why that happens aka lore
We need to find out why there r 3 whales when we send multiple observers
And dont say phone burning cuz that isnt lore
I don't really think we can come up with a grounded explanation on this topic.
Oh yeah?
How about there r 3 whales
Wow that sounded mean srry
But rlly
The simplest and least paradoxical explanation to why we see 3 whales is that well, there r 3 whales
I feel lile there is indeed 1 whale
If we would send two observers, everybody would see a whale, but we would not be able to find out if that's just game limitations or something else
There would be no way to prove it
We haven't seen all those whales together, so that may be a sign that its 1 whale
And I agree with Bronto here
There's not really much enough evidence
Yeah, I'm siding with Bronto here.
Guys game limitations isnt lore....
I think it might just be up for interpretation
There's just no way to tell if it's a real lore reason or just game limitations.
True, but there's literally no solid proof we can bring that there's 1 or 3 whales
Its like saying starwars is just fir selling toys so there should be no lore for star wars
I know game mechanics aren't lore, but they do limit our ability to test our theories
Barely any proof at all
Now I'm not saying there's only 1 left in existence, that's stupid and impossible given Sky's size.
We can't prove there's 1 or 3 unless we have some event where we see mutliple whales together or a dev confirms so
I think its left to our interpretation
But in this specific area, the only reason would be that there's only 1 or 3 whales, it's up to how we view it.
WE SEE 3 WHALES AT ONCE WHEN WE SEND MULTIPLE OBSERVERS AND SINCE GAME MECHS ARENT LORE WHAT OTHER POSSIBILITIES R THERE FOR A LORE EXPLANATION?
This chat is exactly here to discuss about heacanons and theories, this chat is NOT for debate
Pyre...
No caps
Wow Pyre has gotten salty.
Pyre, calm down please
Once again, game mechanics aren't lore, but they limit our ability to test certain things
Oh im not angry.. the debate is so large i was trying to make my textblock more visible....
I dont get angry over lore...ppl
This chat isnt for debate
Now here's a really weird lore question, what would a whale taste like?
I mean, can be, but not this kind of debate
Like an arowana i guess
Kinda fishy haha
Saying one is right and the other is wrong, trying to prove they're correct and stuff
That kind of debate
is not what this chat is for
Yes I know Whales kinda look like Coelacanths but eeehhhh
I mean, trying to prove theories is a good thing, but not like this
what does a Coulacanth taste like 
I guess we need to think of both living and dead whales to reach a hypothisis. The 3 living whales that we encounter in the game can be found in Forest, in the clouds before GW and Storm (this one is questionable though since that could be considered afterlife?). So, where can we see remains of possible whales? Forest, GW and Vault. Is it plausible to say the whales suffered heavy losses due to the advances and expansion of civilization and their impact on wildlife? Not an original hypothisis, I know...
I have no idea and I want to try it 
So... its ok if i say that my theory is that the stars didnt actually fall because tgc had to make the intro interesting and thats the reason the intro is like that?
Lol.....
Could be?
Hmmm
I wouldn't doubt Whales suffered heavy losses
My current theory is that the intro is not in the chronological order that we thought it was in
But never mind
||I mostly think the elders didn't listen to the main star which is why they are kingdoms now||
One kingdom....
To rule them all
I thought that maybe the first half explains what happened to the stars when the Kingdom fell
Huh....
Not before the Kingdom was built
Oh you mean
The second part is a flashback
The kingdom above the sky?
YES
What if....One light to rule them all and in the darkness bind them 
No, I mean
The first part shows the stars being united under one Kingdom "With the stars united, our light was infinite"
"But darkness came and the stars fell"
||although that sparks the question for me HOW DOES VALLEY HAVE TWO CHOATIC TWINS??||
They aren't chaotic.
Not before the Kingdom was built
@thin dirge so u r saying there was a kingdom and then the kingdom's stars fell and made a new kingdom on the clouds and that was destroyed and now we r born?
They're teenagers basically.
No....
I mean, the first part explains what happened to the stars and Elders when the Kingdom of Sky fell
When Eden went booom
Remember JP intro?
Saying the stars made a mistake and were driven from the Sky?
What's the JP intro?
Well, the point of no return was called the Original Sin in Japanesw
Maybe a main winged light did a mistakes?
That's when the timeline gets really wonky
And then ONE WITH ALL RULE plays a role here?
Cause the Eden Diamond was called the Original Sin, that's kinda implying its the mistake that caused the Elders to fall
But the fall was meant to be before the Kingdom was built, right?
I believe so?
So things arent lining up
I mean, the first part explains what happened to the stars and Elders when the Kingdom of Sky fell
@thin dirge but after that, after the stars fall in the first part.... the fallen stars make another kingdom on the clouds..... in the opening.... am i wrong?
Unless... The first part of the intro... did not occur before the Kingdom was built.
and by our light the kingdoms are being kept in the clouds , away from human world eyes
Pls tell me if im wrong i need to watch the opening again..
👀
You can do it!
Here's the chronological order of events in the Intro
Ohhhhhhhh so theback part of the opening comes first and the front part is like a flashback thingie.... that makes sense..
Second part of the intro happens first
Showing the kingdom being built and prospering
Yesyes i get it now
The first part we see in the intro is actually AFTER the second part of the intro
I like it when theories dont contradict what u experience in the game
The first part we see in the intro is actually AFTER the second part of the intro
@thin dirge yes i got it

I like this theory a lot actually!
I like theories that make sense without multiplayer things and game mechs
uhm
Nvm
Soo... Its more like
"With the stars united, our light was infinite"
"Together, the fallen stars made a home among the clouds"
"But darkness came and the stars fell"
"If only they listened.."
"A long time has passed, now I call to you"
"Wake up child, bring the lost stars home"
Some parts dont make sense, but I think its mainly the murals telling this-
The game is more lore-ish if u ignored the relaxing stuff
Pog

@thin dirge but who's talking to us ?, A SECRET ELDER
??
The Light
Prince prince prince 
Prob megan
The Light/Megan
AAA Megan
Yeah probs Megan
light noises
In CN Intro, it says "My Child"
CHILD
So megan
Megan is technically
So its our momma, the Light
Our ancestor
Huh?
Our big
Sky: Children of the Light
The fact that they have lots of kids 
Those little golden things in Sanctuary that point in the direction the wind is coming from (IDK what they're called) actually represent Megan btw hihi
Yes
Yep
Yesyes
hihi I asked Tom Zhao on instagram
M egan = light ??
I mean I think so
Guys we rlly need a doc about game mechs tho .it gets so confusing
Ooo oki oki
My headcanon is that the Light is Megan's soul or something. Her sentience-
Also
I believe Megan is like a collection of souls combined into one entity
Why don't we have emotions..?
I think we do
Once we start we basically 🧍♀️
Oh guys if things r classified as game mechs there r no in universe explanations about that thing right?
I think we do have emotions, just not a very expressive face lol
Thats wind
I think we do have emotions, just not a very expressive face lol
@fading bear our face is not the emotion showing it's our body language
/Those little golden things in Sanctuary that point in the direction the wind is coming from (IDK what they're called) actually represent Megan btw hihi - **Don't they point towards the Light but also towards Sanctuary? ** 
Yeah that's what I mean hihi
We were originally gonna have blinking masks like Chibi, but it made all problems like for the Gratitude masks
If the wind lets up the skid stands up a bit
Thats how we know when to jump that gap in eden
Ohh wait yeah they point the way for wayward souls
Also, our skid stops paying attention to WL when we get to the final corridor in Eden
Their posture is crouched down a bit too
Thats the wind....
Or is that a game mech too?
I think Sky lore has a lot of similarities with LoTR tbh...I'm seeing some very clear comparisons
I don't think its just a game mech
Eden is cold u know...
The last worry of our skykid is the wind
Oh, if you get breathing lvl 3 and 4. You will see that the chibi mask is blinking
Its weird and awesome
Their biggest is for them not saving enough lost ones
The last worry of our skykid is the wind
@sour cradle but it still crouches cuz it doesnt wanna get blown away
@sour cradle but it still crouches cuz it doesnt wanna get blown away
@teal orbit very true
Pls guys...
Yeah, but in Eden corridor, its the only place our skid is posture differently like that
Make a game mech doc
And also, our skid stops paying attention to the wl too
we don't need a doc for everything tho, it's really up to you whether you want to interpret it as purely game mechs or not
When you see a WL, our skids can't get their eyes off of them
we don't need a doc for everything tho, it's really up to you whether you want to interpret it as purely game mechs or not
@solar relic yes but whenever i try to explain a bizarre and unexpected thing the game does, the ppl here keep sayimg game mech.
We need a standard or summin
And in my opinion, I don't think the stuff in Eden like the Skid being crouched down a bit and no longer looking at the WL is just a game mech
At least for me to know which ones r not game mechs
when chibis blink but adults don't
Hol up

lol
Ktjn said that all masks were originally going to blink
But they came across a problem with Gratitude masks
It just boils down to the fact that a lot of the bizarre and unexpected things that happen in Sky probably aren’t intended to be interpreted as deep in-game lore, they’re just things that happen because of something to do with the way the game is coded
So my headcanon is that Skids do blink
Yes but arent those part of the universe too?
It just boils down to the fact that a lot of the bizarre and unexpected things that happen in Sky probably aren’t intended to be interpreted as deep in-game lore, they’re just things that happen because of something to do with the way the game is coded
@delicate coral that
It is difficult to tell sometimes what’s intentional and what’s not, but essentially that’s what we’ve got to decipher
So my headcanon is that Skids do blink
Chibi mask still blinks i think
So if its not intentional its officially not part of the lore? Nooooooooooooooooooooo
Yeah, it does

They probably kept it on the chibi and made it a feature for chibi
So we r not gonna think about why only chibi masks blink cuz thats a game mech?
Well that’s where we have to figure out if it’s intentional
Given that it requires extra effort to animate blinking, we can probably deduce that it is intentional
Chibi mask only blink when you do breathing lvl 3 and 4 (I think)
Cause I never saw my skid blinking without that emote so-
Well, I think they just kept the blinking as a feature for chibi. But that's just how I see it. Nothing wrong with you having different ideas
Kinda related to this... in Christianity if the church thinks something on earth was unintentionally created by god they ignore...it?
@icy spruce Actually, it also closes in some emotes like Praying Emote lv 1
And also when
- taking a screenshot emote
EMOTE - wise man sit
- while runnin
- floating emote
- more

Like in medieval times
not sure what kinda christianity you're talking about but that's not how that works lol but anyway you're still free to think what you think even if others disagree
Oh thanks
Just curious
What kinda Christianity did the guys in medieval times believe in i wonder...
Anyways
Could u guys tell me if things r game mechs when i bring things up?
Like in eden if i follow the whale there and not finish the flight only i ascend into orbit... thats a game mech too right?
Oh and the animals in my vicinity ascend too
Im pretty sure the devs didnt intend that
Couldnt we just say game mechs r part of the universe?
It would be so much simpler...
And so fun
In what way?
If we say game mechs arent part of the lore wind walls dont exist
The game isnt multiplayer right?
If game mechs arent lore
I mean I don't think we have to worry too much about game mechs
And so many frustrating paradoxical problems
it limits some things, but it doesn't effect too many lore related things
I mean I don't think we have to worry too much about game mechs
@fading bear if i am the only skid then everything i did with other players dont exist in lore so everything done after the game starts isnt lore
And if the game isnt single player, the forgotten ark would both he save and not saved, the spirits would both be save and unsaved
And stuff like that
but the multiplayer thing isn't just game mechs I believe
Cuz some players have saved Spirits and restored the ark but moths havent yet
Multiple players is a part of lore and it's a game mechanic too, cause we see a 3 skykid constellation at orbit
but the multiplayer thing isn't just game mechs I believe
@fading bear imma blow your mind.... moths havent restored the ark and they havent saved a lot of spirits but veterans have. So r the spirits saved? Is the ark restored? If the game is a multiplayer those things dont make sense
ohh salty lol
I belive that, which you're talking about rn is more game mech pyre
Cause if they'd do that, only 1 player in the whole game will be able to play it,
If the game is singlr player, everything skids have done with the help of ither skids arent lore cuz there is only one skid so everything rught up until the birth of a skid makes is lore, but everything after that is not lore
Brick believes its a game mech-
May or may not be the same with mee
But the 3 skykid constellation is a reference to Beta
I belive that, which you're talking about rn is more game mech pyre
@broken basin so if that was a game mech then the game is a single player which makes everything after the birth of a skid not lore
Imagine a season with 3 skykids constellation with tons of new friendship emotes 
Were u not here for enchanment?
there was only 1
Ik but more than that 
Anyways if we do not incorporate game mechs into lore, the lore itself crumbles
That's why i said it's both
And thats why its a paradox
How can a game mech be lore when u said game mechs arent lore and even if it is, read multiplayer and then single player. scroll up
Think about that ppl gtg
wow what happened
Yeah...
ok, i'll stop here, this is looking more like an argument, Let's just believe what we believe. ❤️
I agree with your point too, that's why i said multiplayer is game mech and its lore too
oml we’re still going on this
what did i miss, ;-;
angry game mech talk ;-;
What we loring about

ok
Okk
But before that we were talking about the prophecy mural too (the big one)
Big one?

the big one
https://discordapp.com/channels/575762611111592007/632004389137154048/763669635077373954 here's the analysis I did
I just asked which one is the big one skkakakkskskskks
if you scroll down you'll find a screenshot of it too :)
Oh ok thanks❤️
Wait I'll copy paste what i think about that hehehe
In the intro we see 1 star falling and Isle appearing
Maybe , that 1 star broke into fragments layer and that's why we see multiple falling things when the water trail murals scene starts
I think the current mural (the one that appears after water trial) shows the 4 prophets along with the Isle elder (the one with the horns, cause they look like his mask) creating the caves of prophecies.
In the first scene ,we see,stars fall, which is probably the continuation of the intro where the stars fell. The star that fell in Isle was the Isle elder, I still don't understand how the prophets came to be but let's just say they existed for now.
Then in the cutscene, we see Isle elder and 4 figures which I believe to be the 4 prophrts appear, which means that they are in Isle of dawn.
In the next scene we see a patch of clouds clear, and some stairs and a cave entry appear. This represents the cave of prophecies. This whole scene depicts Isle elder and 4 prophets making the hidden caves with their powers.
what prophets? There is only skybot
I agree skybot
the little thing in the clouds looks a bit like the prophecy cave tbh
But i agree that those people look like they're waving to someone, which might totally contradict what i said
Yeah, it is the caves
I still don’t think the horned figure is the isle elder
He appears in two other murals differently
Yeah, but i think the one in caves might be when he wasn't an elder just yet and it was very early,
When they just fell
Hm I was under the impression that they were just always elders, even back when they were connected to the CoL in the intro mural
Prolly after the person gave them all the 4 wisdoms and after the kingdoms were made, then they became elders?
I think that there was no sky Kingdom before the elders fell
They made it themselves
Except the castle
And eden
yeah I believe that too. Though there might have been something else?
Cause in the intro we see they fall in the clouds, and AFTER THAT, the temples appear which points out that they were made after the fall
So, currently I'm thinking Prophecy tells us the story between the fall and the making of sky world
It tells what happened after the fall
oohhhh yess that's so cool
What did u read?
But it's still unclear how the prophets came to be.
Like, did they too fall with the elders or were they already there,
Or did they arise from their elements
Oh
I dunno im on a mobile browser so its all kinda squished
Hm idk I’m just really iffy on anything related to the prophecy murals atm... the half circle door doesn’t sit right with me either because that type of entry just doesn’t appear anywhere in the cave with stairs leading up to it
I think I’ll just wait for the other murals to interpret since my issue is a lack of info I suppose
Also we have, two vault scholars on the Prophecy door
if only @broken basin had listened...
what??
what did i not listen to
Maybe the Prophets were like shamans or the early leaders of the ancestors
bruh i totally knew this was gonna happen
Woah I forgot about that... that intro line is related to the prophecy then I suppose
Surely you didn't propheSEE this one coming 
Skybro is popping off
skybot really do be talkative
Wait maybe the prophecy was about the fall of eden!!!
Hmmm
And they didnt listen
Huh
We need to light up the diamonds in the hands of the scholar states, which means that the door won't open without light, so anything dark can't enter
hmm that would make sence
Wait, we still don't know why they fell
That’s what I’ve been thinking too, the prophecy foretells the Eden catastrophe, it explains all the ominous messages
They tripped down a rock
Maybe the mural is spelling out the prophecy
Think about it nothing in the cop is related to prophecies so it must be the mural
The fates have spoken
Like we know eden exploded later after the kingdom had developed, but why did they even fell and made a kingdom, was it a punishment to them given by the king, did a KING even existed back then??👀
Were they yeeted out from the sky by megabird?
All we know is that “darkness came”
Yeah, darkness came, and they fell
The king could have existed since there is so many darn statues of it
Whether that’s literal darkness or corruption of some sort we don’t know though
What? No eden falling is after the ki gdom and the kingdom is after the ders falling
The darkness can be anything, it cam be greed in Their soul for more power?
Or maybe the big diamond was mismanage and absorbed light? Since diamonds can absorb light and that's how darkness came-
Greed could be one
Yeah ‘darkness’ is really up for interpretation
I had a theory about the Prophets and their "Students". They knew the corruption was comic, but the Elders didn't listen and continued producing Dark stones. The Prophets started to teach their students in Isle (the place where the diamond production had the least impact)
The mural prob is the Prophecy
Prophecy? WHERE?! 
Yes I also think the mural is the prophecy
And that eventually we’ll get to the big Eden kaboom
Well, diamonds are made from light but can absorb light which is quite confusing-
And the prophecy is about the collapse of the kingdom of sky (after the fall of the elders)
yeah!
Well, diamonds are made from light but can absorb light which is quite confusing-
@icy spruce diamonds r made by darkstone and they r charged by light
Wait
Elders were in sky>darkness came and they fell down on the clouds>they build a kindgom>they discovered that power diamonds (an infinite source of energy) can be manufactured by combining equal parts light and darkness>first factory in Forest>gw is burned down and factories are built>hunger for more light to make power diamond increased>a war happens>something went terribly wrong>eden kaboom>kindom destroyed, villagers died, elders lost light and went in a limbo>megan sent us to re-unite the elders with light>the elder reunite and return to the skies
This is what i believe to be the timeline
Yup
Wait what, but didnt forest elder created diamonds using light?- aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
diamonds r made by darkstone and they r charged y light
@teal orbit diamonds are made with half compressed light too
im just stalking because i barely know anything about the lore 
That represnts that diamond production first started in Forest
Same,,
And I thought the other half was with the material from the trees
@teal orbit diamonds are made with half compressed light too
@delicate coral half compressed?
They use pots of light for the power diamonds
The process is shown in the door to the temple in forest
But the light is what the diamond stores
They squish mantas and fill diamonds with light and that makes diamonds float
That little cutscene to open the door shows that it’s half darkstone/wood from the trees and half light from mantas/butterflies
Wait I just edited it to include more details
Elders were in sky>darkness came and they fell down on the clouds>they build a kindgom>they discovered that power diamonds (an infinite source of energy) can be manufactured by combining equal parts light and darkness>first factory in Forest>gw is burned down and factories are built>hunger for more light to make power diamond increased>a war happens>something went terribly wrong>eden kaboom>kindom destroyed, villagers died, elders lost light and went in a limbo>megan sent us to re-unite the elders with light>the elder reunite and return to the skies
Yes
Also to anonymoth and person, have y’all read the lore moff doc?
yup! And all of the pinned messages

oh i think i already read it a few days ago
heavy breathing
lol
dropman 🏎️ i was about to send it 
Nyoom~
the only thing i did to figure out the lore is explore wasteland out of boredom
I've never read it carefully cause when i came here, it didn't exist, i think jay told me most of the basic things 
yeah it wasn't around for me either lol
Hello i have spoken once again
thankfully newer lore moffs can catch up faster now
This time i only spied on this channel for 2 hours
When I first came here I read all of the pinned messages
I’m pretty sure it was made after I joined too... luckily I was also around for a lot of the inside jokes being created anyway so I’m not lost when they pop up 
i was so proud to find out the each relam representing a stage of life by myself without ever seeing the thing in office, but then i came to know that it's already canon and is in office
i'll never forget the day i started king propaganda
wwwwwwwww
~damn~
You started most the king theories and propagandas here res
Also prophet of fire is the best
brick made the meme tho lol
YOU ARE NOT IMMUNE TO PROPAGANDA
oh no
~prophet of fire is HUGE~
which prophet are we talking about?
See any similarities

owo

Yeah

The devs said many things in sky are ghibli inspired 👀

Does that include crabs too?
that's a possibility
OMGG SO THATS WHY I SEE MANY PEOPLE DO ART OF SKY x GHIBLI
TH EOLD KRILL DESIGN IS SCARY
they could be

Are crabs just 4 legged spiders with a big stone on their back?
i hate spiders.. i love crabs.. what a coincidence
There's never a yes or no in lore

Krill desgin looks krilly and that makes it not scary for me
What a coincidence i hate spiders too
Well krill in the real world is a shrimp and thats why the fandom/community named it krill
I hate insects in general-
Waving bellmaker should focus on class rather than trying to talk to his crush

look at that ancient fish looking creature just emerging from the ground/clouds/water??? and then about to e n d you seems scary
Guys can we focus on krill's story real quick?
Idk much about the creatures story
And applauding bellmaker is the most intelligent lad in class
Like......i have a theory that they were banned from the kingdoms
Maybe that's why she's able to carry rocks
Cuz they didn't produce light
Cause she focuses on class
Applauding bell maker is literally me
applauding bellmaker is cool
Btw guys what actually happened to the spirits and elders 
I'm not sure if this was discussed in the lore channel already but what actually happened to them
How'd they turn into spirits
they die
And some even had fresh water and a source of crabs to eat (for example Forest or Wasteland)
Most of them died due to the eden explosion
who even grilled crab at wasteland and didnt take it
Some like the crying spirit died of other causes
Since spirits are exactly like humans as seen in season of enchantment but except they have light
who even grilled crab at wasteland and didnt take it
@dense arch
The dad spirit from belonging
Some like the crying spirit died of other causes
@broken basin wait the crying spirit actually died in the cave?
Yea
Yep
thats actually sad :((
noclip through the wall
She saw all her 3 friends die, and then even after days, noone came for rescue so she may have died due to depression, dehydration and starvation
What do you mean by explosion?
There was a big explosion in eden
Cuz i thought the corruption era was a full scaled attack and not a explosion
Which destroyed most of the kingdom
Also, most of the vault was destroyed since it was below eden
At eden
The big red diamond at eden
^^
Did it reach isle?
I'm not sure if it's the red diamond, could've been a mega diamond factory
Well, isle has little to no destruction, which means that it was very far away from it
i think it didnt reach isle?
Most destruction was seen in valley and gw and ofc vault
Valley and gw must've been closer to it
i think gw is the closest
But then why'd the creatures of darkness imvade Wasteland the most?
i mean nvm thats obivous but
And vault was directly below it, but still the floor1 and 2 didn't get destroyed maybe cause they were too far below
It probably weakened some warriors and giants in gw and valley
odd theory that hasnt been brought up before, but i have this theory that 1: dark creatures lived underground
and 2: that they saw in infrared
my main idea for the whole "living underground" thing is mainly inspired by the sensory spots on a krill's model around their "eye", you can see it on Reika's modded models very well! the general shape of their pointy head and body would make a smooth digging/burrowing body but their horns is the only discouragement for that idea
this idea also goes hand in hand sorta with the idea that dark creatures see in infrared! seeing light and darkness as solid colors and not seeing what the sky children actually look like.
it would help them see in pitch black, if they were in a cave or something, i think that idea is cool.
this idea was generally just for an rp because it sounded cool and i loved the idea but it was inspired minimally off of crabs hitting fires out idly
(sorry for spam, just sharing 3 am thoughts with you guys)
But in valley they had more warriors but in gw they only had a few giants
So they attacked wl
Woah, that's interesting, but can you please explain more on how they see the infrared spectrum of light, didn't quite get what you were saying
im still not really sure abt the lore
im not really sure how to describe it too well.. do you know what infrared looks like? 
Guys lets talk about the realms in order and what happened to them in the great fall so none of us get confused
where can I find Reika's models?

@hushed steeple .
Well, infrared is the light spectrum which the wavelength is just a little longer than the red light wavelength in the light spectrum
Also known as heat?
Yea
Not sure
Basically it senses heat or smth
i can send a picture, but basically they would see the light radiating off of an object or character and how much, they would basically see it in red-> blue with red being the warmest/brightest and blue or purple being the coldest/darkest
So uhh
This is a normal vs infrared image, the figures can still be made out in infra.
Maybe you should remove the word infrared and say that they just saw darkess as one thing and light as one and nothing else
And its a tyoe of vision some creatures have
like snakes
For example in the movie "Predator"
The predators have heat vision aka infared vision
radio-tvwaves-infrared-red-orange-yellow-green-blue-violet-ultraviolet-xray-gamma
where can I find Reika's models?
@fading bear
you can just go
from: @/Reika#1556 has: image in the search bar!
oh thanks!
Yeah it goes like radio, micro, infra, visible to humans, uv, xray, gamma
I forgot micro-
uv= ultra violet

Wavelength gets shorter as we reach the right side of the spectrum
i took a screenie in eden but the thing looked like the elder place at the top of vault
Its much larger tho
Yep
Elder-Sized
my stomach hurts for sitting too long trying to find out abt lores
We actually discussed this a lot of days ago
my idea for the underground thing might have been cool in a story where the dark creatures break free from a hole in the ground and cause an in-balance/war
but i actually dont know much about the lore unfortunately so i dont know how well that would slot in, feel free to theorize off of that im too sleepy to think
skykids consume candle wax juice daily
m a n t a j u i c e r
I belive dark dragons were formed when the pollution from Burning the trees in gw to clear land to industrialize it accumulated.
But your theory is p cool too.
candle wax juice makes your body healthy and your wallet full of candles
meerkat im pretty sure that was how the power cores were made at some point

also i have a question how did the mantas even get stuck in darkness plants at forest
snatched by plant
Power diamonds recipe is embedded on the forest door so that it teth forgets, she can look at it
revenge because the mantas keep kidnapping us doe
2 parts darkness, 2 parts light
Will make your power diamond, powerful and bright
tbh i have no idea, they would be too fast to be grown onto and very low to the ground which doesnt make sense for something without feet but idk.. do they take naps?
if mantas take naps and how is something to think about, do that have nests? do they have eggs? omg alright hold on
Maybe darkness was grown intentionally at places as manta trap by Forest villagers as per the rules given by teth.
btw is there a hint of how the prince looks like (not like the one from concept art) in sky? like the king's patterns at gates etc
what if the eggs in forest were manta eggs
Maybe darkness was grown intentionally at places as manta trap by Forest villagers as per the rules given by teth.
@broken basin wait but why trap the mantas

what if the eggs in forest were manta eggs
@rotund cipher but.. but i thought mantas are from lights?? like that??
m a n t a j u i c e r
but do darkness grow that fast
yes
So my theory is:
Isle: A small town a place that civilization started got attacked by krills hence the holes.
Prarie: Sort of got damaged hence the BIG holes and the sudden stop of the bell towers.
Forest didn't get attack but the krills tried to but knocked trees instead so they retreated cuz the trees are close together.
Valley: Again. they retreated into fear because of the warriors, and some warriors led them to Golden Valleys (Golden Wasteland)
Wasteland: Krills got mad and rampaged everything destroying homes,destroying giants.
Vault: ded
Eden: Attacked it even more than Golden Valleys.
vault seems to be underground or a large tower going upwards
vault:ded is so amusing what-
Lol
tbh i think vault is more like a large tower
yeah vault is more of a building
because when you go from wasteland you go straight to vult
it could be built into a mountain technically and go up into eden
VAULT
speaking of which how did they bring an entire floating island up there
i think ive actually seen concept art of what vault looks like
vault in inside the big cloud mountain and eden is directly above it
also you can see the end of vault when you walk into eden in the lobby/hub, it looks cool hehe
or how did they moved it through eden
speaking of which how did they bring an entire floating island up there
@undone harbor logic
i took a screenie when i was ascending to orbit with eden in the bg
welp its sky we cant talk logic here
gravity machine broke
space?
that's a lotta clouds
there do be less gravity tho
ah yes cloids
SHHH
eden castle is something that gravity bows to
to the broken off parts i assume
Well from Wasteland there is no mountain
we cant see it from wasteland to??
why am i talking here im supposed to be sleeping see yuhh

(also theres a mountain in every level in the skybox lol, wasteland is cloudy as heck)
@broken basin wait but why trap the mantas
@dense arch
To extract theirjuicelight which can be combined with darkness in the diamond press to make diamonds.
j u i c y
Poor Mantas , were trapped in cages in the factory
mmm light juice yumm
more like manta juice
wait so if we exist back then would we be light juice as well
what if they tried to put the big elder manta in the juicer?
Oh
what if they tried to put the big elder manta in the juicer?
@broken basin that explains the big tree
not big enough tho
lets juice the whale manta...
Guys why are we talking abt mamta juice can we go back to lore
thats a lot of lights
imagine a krill that big

MAMTA JUICE
imagine a krill that big
@undone harbor There were....just ded
The mantas and krills we've seen have been babies or teens
The manta whale was one of the adults

we need a new home shield everyone
Uh don't we all know that
From the eden lobby
Looks like a King Statue
You can see top of vault
Also
Wait also, in not even sure if that place is eden
When we are in wastelamd we are also in the clouds of eden
Cause the text says eye of eden only when we enter the 2nd area
Yea it just looks like a sandwich for some reason
Yea there
The vault is thin
WAIT THEN WHAT EVEN IS EDEN
im a smol manta
Maybe that's just the top
You can think of eden a big garden for the king's castle
Not every game has a correct like idk..... background?
If you've heard of gardens of eden

I belive eden was as beautiful as those before it got kaboomed
also if we connect the garden of eden with eden mural...
We need Ginko cuz we're visually losing our minds right now
seems like it depict the eden elder try to eat the 'forbidden fruit'?
Apple of eden
APPLE OF EDEN BAHAHAHA
- King's connection to the Light
- King eating da apple
The king is eve then
But both kinda... contradicts each other...
king consume more light?
Hmm... Now that I think about it
We need Ginko we are losing our minds right now if only he could go on discord amd visit lore channel
Darn, this is the problem when you see spoilers too early
yeah...

NO-

When eve ate the forbidden fruit, adam fell right?
When king ate the forbidden fruit, elders fell
I don't know much about the adam eve story so I'm not sure
eve ate the fruit and gained the forbidden knowledge. adam know and follow his wife's path, thus gaining the forbidden knowledge as well
iirc
But the fruit was a fruit of knowledge

That allowed them to differentiate between what's good and what's evil
idk why the fruit can be called as forbidden when it contained knowledge... 
why preventing them from knowing what is good and bad?

As i said: we need ginko
Someone was preventing the king from eating it so he gains knowledge , ?
Why would they do so
Yea.....
It doesn't fit
Or wait....
I think i might have solved it
It was the prophecy spirits who did
Cuz since they might have known about the prophecy of the great fall of eden and what was the cause of the fall? Right. Bc the elders were experimenting with light and exploded eden
No, but eden explosion happened later
After the fall
Fall was one of the 1st things that happened
Explosion happened near the end of time line
Now I'm thinking of the Elders themselves fed the King the apple
OMG THAT'S CRUEL
The prophets warned them that it'll cause darkness to arise and the castle will fall

Wait is sky... A christian game??
But they didn't listen
Yep exactly what i was going for
They didn't listen
They didn't listen TO THE PROPHETS
We're just simplifying it
They didn't listen TO THE PROPHETS
@broken basin This is exactly what i was going for
Yay we big brain
Well think about it, you play an angel that flies around in realms above the clouds, helping souls ascend to the afterlife.
Cotl?
Children of the light
says who
But yea , we are technically angels who fell from sky who save the elders , so sunwood is technically right
And darkness
That's why we are children of light, not children of darkness
so there is only 3 prophets that wearing capes, fire prophet didnt
But empty vessel you say? How come were filled with light?
Also the angel wings
And the fact that angels are usually depicted as small children
I'm still shocked by thinking about what we just discussed, about eden and king gaining the forbidden knowledge
Okokok
I think we solved the story
Time to clean up
noooo laaa xD
i mean fire prophet is indeed a big lad but that wont be the only thing that prevent them to wear a cape right-
The prophets foresee everything 👁️
We r both light and dark
Eh
Winged light is our light part
They should make another realm after eden called lilith with twice the difficulty
We just made a theory hahaha
We ourselves r a subspecies or elder
I'll definately see more on it and polish it ❤️👄 ❤️
They should make another realm after eden called lilith with twice the difficulty
@wise marsh Uhhhh why tho?
Well
Well cause lilith was adams first wife
What would be the purpose of that?
More content?
Well yeah obviously but we haven’t had a new realm in forever
