super small dark particles in water
So does that mean that the wasteland might be supposed to be a swamp?
That suggests darkness might just be supposed to pool there, but be cleaned up by regular growing plants
Guys if u handstand while sliding u still get trails from the feet...
Wasteland seems more like a delta to me. A swamp is a wetland and a forest, and both of the above require plant life in order to function
I believe it was a forest which was burned for industrialisation
A delta is when a river fans out as it reaches a sea or ocean
I believe it was a forest which was burned for industrialisation
@broken basin obviously
But it borders on the sea
Ah. That makes a lot of sense and fits well with the shape of the landscape
A delta is when a river fans out as it reaches a sea or ocean
@hushed steeple oh... yup its a delta then
And the lack of large plant remains
Sooo basically wasteland was a delta with a lot of trees but now the trees r gone
Wait , deltas tend to have a lot of vegetation around the water. So maybe that was the case,?
Oh heck you're right
And the lack of large plant remains
@short owl let me introduce u to tim, the dark tree i burn down everyday
I think this mural tells just that
No thats forest making clouds
the shape of the smoke cloud is pretty recognisable
A forest that makes clouds seems legit
This is all of them, and the realms
But yeah, it's just what i think, <3
Imma go now folks
Aite
Smoke often looks like clouds
read the text in the photo
... P sure the text is by theorizer
It does. I can unfortunately confirm that it can be really hard to tell if it's smoky or just misty (since where I live, there's been a lot of fires lately, to the point where it's become normal).
Terroriser? I prefer theorizer
The smoke cloud looks unusually close to what a krill looks like
Where even is the cave?
Huh?
The cave of prophecies
Oh. Far side of Isle, past the giant rock thing, in some clouds, but not at the temple (because I am A+ at giving directions)
#questions-and-help will be a good place to ask lore related for here only
that's fair meowphecy
Hohohoho
Sorry
Don't worry mistakes learned
Anyways imma sneep now good night and have fun making theories
Dw it happens a lot, you're by no means the only one who's come to lore for help 
Goodnight Meowphecy 
wasteland is the mortal world
@livid valley
Yes. For example, we don’t die when we mimic the fallen soldier from Wasteland, we ‘play dead’
@hushed steeple It would be kind of hilarious if the play dead emote was an instant game over/self-destruct button though. Don't you think?
Or it just sends you straight to Orbit
Like sorry you accidentally unalived yourself but that’s on you buddy
Wow epic emote then
Might be! All of the spirits friends did die
when two friends remain they built the grave for other two friends. when that man died she built a third grave
What is the significance of the megabird btw?
No one made grave for cry spirit 
does every ancestor spirit come w a grave? like in the beginning point when u burn it to start off the memory?
wave, shiver emote has a grave; thats all i remember
nope
That's actually so sad and dramatic. Like just imagine 💔
does every ancestor spirit come w a grave? like in the beginning point when u burn it to start off the memory?
wave, shiver emote has a grave; thats all i remember
@sinful anvil in the very beginning areas,where you can exchange with spirits in each realm their is a grave for each
o the social areas...
Guys we have a lore moff
What is the significance of the megabird btw?
@wild crescent lore moff
nyx isn't new
also res, guess what, you were right
My disappointment is unmeasurable and my day is ruined 
nevermind, I thought for some reason the description for the switch release was revised
turns out to be the same
@wild crescent lore moff
@velvet thunder
What the heck is the megabird? I've never heard of it.
Also, I'm new
Bruh
Mega bird is megan

Probably shouldnt say "megabird is Megan" as if that explains anything
Flago - Cry does have a grave now tho...

@livid valley
Who the H-E double hockey sticks is Megan?
Megan is a joke name for the megabird
Does the bell that rings at home have a meaning?
it tells you the hour
clock for hour
Oh i though it was something more
@willow shoal johnny do you know about 光志, it is a fanmade magazine for sky(in Chinese), apparently Jenova Chen was wondering if he could get a physical copy, hmmm. I dont know traditional that well, it is going to take hours for me to read this
I dont think anything lore significant is in there though
I envy your chinese reading skills... i never could memorize many of the characters
Speaking it would be fairly easy if only i knew more nouns...
so I was looking at the elevator in vault and noticed it has a crack in it as well as a second darkstone coming out of the bottom
also one of the sides has dark sigils instead of light ones, although I think that is a texture bug
i just peeled through some of the docs and im so stoked that there's a big ol lore community here

welcome rainy, we hope you enjoy loring here with us

Yes! Lore everywhere! Nice to meet you lore moff!
also elevator from... underneath (forgot the english word)
underneath ?
ah yes that will do
Below
#eden-spoilers message not Elders of the Valley? 
yeah, the twins count as one elder
intresting
I was doing my Eden run and in the very last part of the castle (orbit) where the vault statues are, I noticed something
Indeed
the area below is exactly the same as the last floor of vault
I showed a video of that a few days ago xd
oh, really? sorry, I didn't know
also, the jellies inside of the castle are king jellies
(edited image for easier viewing)
aaaand one last thing
in Eden, just as you cross the big door, there's this big butterfly clutter that's flying directly inside this big pipe in the background
Oh, I never noticed that
me neither, this is the first time I see it 
the vault look-alike in eden is actually way bigger 
also i think those king jellies are like... jelly elders??? or are they the true king all along?? 
their walk cycle ? yea ?
So I was wondering, I don't know much lore besides the cutscenes the game gives during the temple scenes, is there any lore I've missed? I'm thinking a lot and I'm a lore nerd so I'd love to learn more about the game!
Plenty of documents in the pins! Some are theories and some from the devs
Just check the pins basically xd
Oh thank you
Can someone explain these odd murals in sanctuary islands?
How has this gone over their heads?
But they do look like the prophecy spirits.
Along with another spirit doing something to a....idk but someone is getting picked up via magicks.
Or yeeted
Maybe defended after falling?
never noticed that the temples resemble candles
is this the prophet pushing them down (and yanking another spirit in the process) or a spirit actually fell down and the prophet went to grab them (but didnt realize the other spirit gets tagged along)?
Mmmmmmnooooooo vut i cant tell you more brr
@sinful anvil likely the lattet
Latter
Where has my english gone
so just their mind slipped?
Yeah, the one spirit slipped and fell and the other two was gonna catch em
At least that's my theory
And then they both went down to check on the fallen spirit
@hushed steeple you know what those king jellies remind me to?

Flos
and here I thought it was something lore-related 
hahaha, don't be
I was thinking about jellies
are all jellies spirit jellies? based on their color and patterns, they're pretty similar to spirit mantas
If sky jellies become flower, they would be Diphylleia grayi
Idk i just like it
And our jelly hair have the same pattern
Its been awhile since I've been here, what we talking bout lore peeps
Mostly the new season
Ahhh okay
wait, there's actually a jelly that's known for having a yellow spot in the middle of their head
commonly called the 'fried egg jellyfish'
Ohhh that’s why jelly hat looks like a fried egg
@urban ginkgo oh ur right
didn't find anything too interesting about it tho
the only interesting fact is that they tend to live in cold waters ig
I wonder if thats why jelly guy was always in the caves with the other jellies
cough cough valley's ice rink
Oop
I mean, I bet the cave was cold too (?
Yeah 😗
🤣
more on the fried egg jellyfish...
they are usually confused with lion's mane jellyfish (pictured below)
these are one of the largest species of jellyfish and also have a yellowish spot in their center
thanks for coming to my Ted talk 
oops
altho im quite intrigued about the yellow spot on their... head?
while ours shaped like a diamond
who pinged me?
not me, i just come back from sky
i misread that
@willow shoal johnny do you know about 光志, it is a fanmade magazine for sky(in Chinese), apparently Jenova Chen was wondering if he could get a physical copy, hmmm.
I dont know traditional that well, it is going to take hours for me to read this
@hushed steeple well idk
let me search
comes to observe the lore masters discussing about lore finds out they're just having food
Having fried egg
hewo frens ( ´꒳`)੭⁾⁾ I'm here to ask for your opinion abt this kind of mask in forest, reminds me of the new season quest giver
that's concept forest elder's mask
oh so that it's, thank you so much(´˘`)♡
@green tartan your name i-

ASKSKSKSSK
ok folks i just read the stuff about the jellies.....
we need to change the genus of the jellies
pyre, if it helps in anything, the 'fried egg jellyfish' is a whole species
they had to create a whole new species just for that single jelly
it's a species that consists of one (1) jellyfish
Imagine a jelly so bizzare you need to made a whole new species for just one jelly
ikr??
before, they were grouped up with the 'moon jellyfish', but scientists discovered little by little that the egg jelly didn't quite fit in with the standards of a moon jelly
oh hey guys i just found out.... we already made a scientific name for the little jellies... do u think we should delete that one?
don't ask me, I just brought the eggs to the table.
whatever you decide to do with them is up to you, man 
e g g
those little jellies i kept insisting should be another species..... apparently a long time ago we voted and said we should.... but if u guys now think otherwise.... we should delete it...
vote pls
u know... those teeny tiny jellyfish... in sanc and stuff
imma post my latest meme on sky memes and then imma come back....
I have a theory i want to share want you guysss. So i think that the prophets from this season are like megabirds messangers. In the first cutscene it says “if only they had listened” i think megabird is waking us and she is talking about the elders, i basically think the king / prince managed to control them and the prophets tried to warn them.
After the king took control the elders decided the prophets where bad and maybe killed them or forced them to hide behind the clouds.
also you know how thatskybrophet says beware the elders? I think maybe thatskybrophet served or serves megan and still thinks the elders are bad after being controlled.
Or maybe thatskybrophet has memory loss
before you continue, what skybrophet says has nothing to do with actual game lore
we learned that not too long ago

Hjz hknwjhnzkuns
I think the rest of your theory is dope though 
lol the king jellies are there yay
swag
I wasn't intending to stay up this late 
go sneep 
now that you've said that, I can't 
Hello people!!!!
K so this isn't really lore based or anything
But I've noticed the mask that each elder wears
Excluding the valley twins since their masks arent collectable
That each mask represents something
The isle elder mask looks similar to the boats we see on the murals in isle
And the praires elders mask is suposed to look like the butterfly jars
And for the forest elder I dont know what hers is supposed to be
But I guessed that it supposed to represent the temple since the mask looks like it has layers
And there are multiple doors that lead to the end of forest/pink forest
For wasteland I'm not about that one either
Was thinking maybe a shield or a weapon of some sorts?
And for vault I thought of it being like a building since vault has an elevator
And the vault elder masks looks like a tower ish
New trial is out, new murals when completed
Aye
i just finished the trial and i have some photos of the mural!! i can send it here if anyone wants it
i think the cave's the one on the other side..?
but those figures lying down, are they dead??
👁👁 i'm scared now
Wait, that's a continuation from the last mural!
When you complete Water Trial
The door was a part of the mural that is revealed when you finish Water Trial
So what the sum of story in trial we get now??
@odd wasp has what it takes to pass these trials 
SKYBOT
anyone has the murals from the water trial?
water trial murals compiled by noom
#lore-discussion-spoilers message
Scroll up a bit for the murals
interesting o, does it mean when the stars fell that this cave or trials jsut suddenly appear in the skies/ cave?
So from that mural we can conclude that there was people who tried to get ove rthe trials
But failed
I couldn't get through the last parts either, the game was so laggy and I was just falling over and over
That's unfortunate
and it returned me back to the beginning of the trial several times 
Look at those dead bodies, they didnt even get near the final gifts
The people that tried to finish the air trial possibly died because they fell
now that murals are getting more important, i really hope i have more time, maybei might make a doc or sort documenting all the diff symbols and see if we can connect the dots
just went to the cave of prophecies and took a look at the mural. it seems they added something else...
or my game bugged badly once more
Just thinking since the orange spirit in the mural was just updated: would a mural glowing in orange or yellow potentially mean that they are blessed with the power of flames from Megabird?
That's a bug
oh its a bug? alright
Okay so I stared at the mural for a moment and uh
Are those ||dead people||?
It actually looks to me like different burrial rituals
So far; Water=Patience, Earth=Resilience
Oh my god, I was just wondering that too. ||are those dead skykids???||
... or people failing at trials
You'll keep trying until you make it through, right @tawdry star?
Hi hi
Why spoilering the dead people part aren't you seeing dead stuff like around sky already 
they're ancestors probably
the two lines on their bodies signify that they are ancestors
so... they might have died during the trials? 
Yeah they do look like dead ancestors 
i have a theory... u know how the prophets each teach 2 ppl? then we see 2 corpses for each trial.... and u see that shiny boi on a boat from the left? prob after all the students failed the test, but one day the chosen one aka the prince aka the shiny boi arrives and completes all 4 trials so the prophecy states that the dud who completes all 4 trials becomes the king prob and so he ruled....
So far; Water=Patience, Earth=Resilience
@sage hemlock most likely
Air=Flexibility
Fire=Bravery
Imagine stretching while flying
Perservance?
Resilience is Perseverance
Oh
Yes
What
Yeetus feetus chatus revivus!
note : normal butter will turn red when land on our finger. this one didnt and stay blue even on our finger
and it did recharge me!
even faster than a normal butter
Wait that person in the boat, it's golden
The golden lines which fall in the intro , represent us, right?
So, i assume that is the child of light
time to edit doc

Dont trigger the bot please
It's not a fun thing to play around with like that
I dont think so that intentionally triggering the bot is fun
well I do
let's stop this and get back to lore
Yes
Spoopy I think no one mentioned it or asked about it here, pls don't do it
It's clogging up the chat
So basically SkyKids don't have light but rather draw it from the sources of their cosmetics.
Like mine for example, i draw from gratitude(cape) modesty(hair) and bluiss of exploration (mask)
crystal/diamond in the Trial doors.. or am I the ony one seeing the pattern recalling Teth's mask?

hmmm
did Teth build this place-
i wonder....
what is this suppose to be-
fire trial i know
but
tehre is no obstacles there
except that steam-swirl thing
and yet dead bodies littered that place
are we gonna get hunted by steams-
It's fire
so i assume its steam
Fire things gon hunt us
are we gonna be trapped inside labirynth of fire-
But idc I'll piggyback this trial
imagine flaming walls
OH
slowly entrap us
i know what they are but i'll shut up
i actually know too but shhhhh
We need u
it's
beta
did Teth build this place-
@bitter shale maybe, but I don't think she did.. this seems older than her
You don't talk abt a lady's agr
i mean-
That's ruude
elders are ageless-
Debating whether it'll be ok if i draw child elders with diff hairstyles
I mean the building *maze doesn't have the style/architecture of her Temple
It looks much older
Like the whole Cave Of Prophecies
Let them wear the chibi ! 
yES
Ooh. Imagine Samekh (Dora) tricking Samekh (Kakashi) into wearing that mask

And then Dora running away
Followed by a Kakashi chibi running behind LOOL
If you do this, please tag/ping me

So the ancestors who were teached by the spirits died in the trials?
That's sad
Did anyone notice the shiny kid in a boat on the water mural? Do you think that's us?
Maybe 
i have a theory about that
Hey all, I think I might make a doc or page on jsut murals, like what the symbols might represent, or locations that has murals.
Is there some way you would like me to categorize the document? like eg: making the more 'humanoid' symbols as its own category, etc?
o
Yess
res 3 fastt, and definitely that would be awesome 
i think your ides would be better if you're putting all the murals in there since a doc can hold them all
im planning to use notion to make the page so hopefully it looks a little better to look through!
Ooo?
i think for now you can sort them by which images appeared after which trial? and if you want there can also be a separate section for the humanoid figures too
/aaaaaah i am here again crying from not being able to play till saturday
i am very thankful we have the floating rocks in the cave now so that we can take better pics of the murals
don't worry you're saving yourself from this trial
/WE HAVE FLOATING ROCKS??
same res! Makes it easier for us to see the upper murals
indeed, instead of having to fly up all the time 
anyway i'm really hoping those ancestors aren't dead 
/so what's the new murral like?
the lights are there now
and they depict the trials
and there are ancestors' bodies lying down in the trials
so they might be dead
or they just embraced the floor and gave up just like me halfway during the earth trial
U know... based on the things in front of the air trial doors imma guess that the air trial is about floating platforms like the ones in vault...
we don't know sadly if they're dead or not
U know... i actually considered deleting sky during the earth trial
but they are there hopefully just vibing with the ground
If it really is the ancestors, that means they try to gain power through the trial as well??
/maybe they be lisstening the earth and try to speak the language of ants?
/oh spiders, not ants
U guys remember my mural theory about the shinyboi being the chosen one? Waaaay up there...
The ancestors may have never made it except for the prince...
Lanister just dared me to use lol here right now... so LOL
/oh yea about the shiny boi
/in the prophecy cave mural
/it do be bug
/wwait you probably knew that tho sorry
/yaya!!!!
This is getting more interesting... Does that mean the prophecy is about us
#lore-discussion-spoilers message "The prophets have spoken and they said [name] would come and save us all"
When the storm was starting to get stronger the prophets said someone would save them all from the darkness, that someone is us, that someone is the new generation of Sky people, the Skykids basically. But something or someone is preventing us from stopping the storm going on at Eden. It could be the shiny boi we hug before ascending or something else we don't know yet.
"Wake up, child. Bring our lost stars home." (Intro cutscene)
Welp, there you have it. The narrator might be one of the prophets talking to us. They had it planned since day one and knew they were all screwed. The elders then got punished for literally being the reason why all the ancestors died, and fell. To stop the storm, us, the skykids, the new generation, the "someone" that would save them all, have to complete the constellations, summon each Elder and make the storm stop to Eden. We "saved" the Kingdom, but it's too late to fix the realms.
In conclusion: the prophets predicted the coming of the Skykids, told the ancestors they would come to save them, but by then the kingdom would be already destroyed. Now we have to bring back peace and the stars (elders).
[I feel like if we complete all the constellations the storm at Eden will stop, but it's unfair for players who just want the hairs not be able to play the most iconic part of the game]
The prophecy foretells that @frail hearth... ||Will actually have a very good day today||
wrong
very cool theory
Yup
i think the prophecy predicted the coming of the skids too
/aaaah i love it!
Wow that's really an awesome theory
/okay question wwould the prophets predict the krills
it depends, maybe??
thanks (´༎ຶོ v ༎ຶོ`)
since the prophets go wayyy back they might predict krills?? but we'll see
I wonder what the full mural will be like... If it's really about us then I predict when the next trial is done, the shiny boi will show up in the earth trial
/aaand also, did the prophets predicted the someone preventing us part
the prophets are watching
/yea sky bot
actually we were only supposed to see the shiny bois when the fire mural comes out
so the mural got bugged
/yeaaaaa that tho
it's a pesky bug lol
bugs are pesky in general
you fix one another somehow comes up
/wait tho i havent seen the murals yet can someone send me a pic?
/ooooooh
/the colors represent the trials then, i doubt it represent the ark's colored lights
yeah they represent the elements
/andddddd with this i feel like the ancestors dieeeeed wwhile doing the trials
/oh yea iss the earth trial maze-like?
yeah
/wait tho i havent seen the murals yet can someone send me a pic?
@gilded fossil
/beta people what sort of suffering is the mural tryna tell ussssss
/thanks alfr friend
two scenarios i can think of
-
the ancestors we see are completely different ancestors from the base spirit ancestors in our constellations, they just happen to share hairstyles. they died in the trials
-
the ancestors survived but they failed to complete the trials. that's why they were able to grow up and appear as we see them as base spirits our constellation
ded peps cus of trial was it
possibly
skybot now prophetbot 2.0!
i-//
/lmao sky bot only lore chat here
/orr maybe the dead people is the previous set of people, like 1. that res said, and the only one to survive was the prophets
@gilded fossil you don't have anything to do with this, do you? 
/maybe skybot
i
skybot do be like that dw
intresting
/yea no sky bot is made by mods not devs
so like the one who survive be the next prophets ig
/but we can respawn
i think kadal means in context of the prophets
ye ye
like those who survived the trials became the prophets, so the four prophets we have now got their status because they made it through their respective trial
I think Golden Wasteland had a diffefent name before the eden disaster, I am assuming it was called Golden City or something like that
We still see that golden material all over the portals, i guess it was mainly used in golden wasteland
i think it was called Golden Valley before
it probably was a part of valley
they might have been collectively called golden valley
Do you think that golden material has a bad effect like dark stone causes?
It is mainly used as decoration but
i don't think it does? valley seems to be just fine and it's pretty golden n shiny
kinda in ruins but still looks alive
yeahh
tho i be wondering why there are cheerings in ther race
gw might just be the way it is possibly due to the storm in eden or something something power diamond factories pollute the environment
just like irl
Because people get excited in race, most probably
what if the cheerings were like the cries of spirits that have disappeared? or are we reliving the race every time we do it and remember people cheering for us 
it could probably some remnants/memory fraction from the past
/wwell, wwe do see flying white specks in the stadium place
/~~i cant be in game rn ~~ but like the specks of light you collect in the race seems to be floating all around the stadium
Just wait and see folks
I will be right...
And remember this... i guessed all of this and all the things stated
up there are guesses with evidence
U guys dont get the joke do u....
Wait in enchantment
Red- illusion
Blue- water
Cyan- air
Green- earth
Orange - fire
I forgot the purple one , can anyone tell me what it represented?
Wolf <3
the purple light turns the ark into nighttime and decorate the ark
english wack hours 
/~~ eden's been buggy makes ya stuck forever shouldnt risk it although some came thru just fine~~
I came thru...
i can't run eden until november anyway so i'm fine 
Why?
anyway back to lore
/yea
Yup
/so did the ancestors died?
maybe
/in the trials?
/i thought they can swim but like
/pyre do please chill on the spoilers from the beta
/oh yea
/one question
shoot
/why is the statue at the end of the trial shaped the way it is?
So, we are kinda cheating in trials, we can respawn 😂
But they couldn't :") and died
But wait
If they died, how are they the future realm spirits?
i meant 'send the question' LOL
the statue at the end of the trial represents the prophets right?
with the masks and all
Yes ig
/the same mask?
yeah the masks look the same
The prophets give us eye juice the wisdom
So was it like a deal/bet/challenge?
If you complete this trial, I'll give you this wisdom.
/huh i wonder what that would make the return shrine in home be
/ if you manage to suffer through this trial, you get jeus powers
Also, am i colorblind or is the eye juice of earth Prophet yellow when it's supposed to be greenish
it's a greenish-yellow
Very little green :"),
Especially in the "wisdom giving" cutscene
or a very light green
I saw it mostly as yellow
Tho the light looks green
Wait, no pyre
In all trials, so far, the element is our enemy.
In water trial, the water tries to harm us
In earth trial, we can die Cause of the floating stones (represnts earth)
So , what if in fire trial, fire is an enemy to us, thats what it looks like rn
/earth always be green tho, unlike the chinese elements green would be Wood, but like, wood isnt in the 4 elements thing, anyways my brain hurts
/ eeeeeh
Wait, no pyre
In all trials, so far, the element is our enemy.
In water trial, the water tries to harm us
In earth trial, we can die Cause of the floating stones (represnts earth)So , what if in fire trial, fire is an enemy to us, thats what it looks like rn
@broken basin no... our only savior was the rocks and the void killed us...
/pyre do please stop?
/and... maybe delete your messages?
Oh... right srry
Uh..What's happening here
I was so good at guessing stuff
Its nothing all records have been purged
/i was asking about the shrines at the end of the trials
@gilded fossil oh ok
/what would that make the return shrines be
If the trials r like the matrix then the shrines r prob just images your brain makes to come out of the illusion... kinda like doors in divergent
Can't wait to play the next trial 
Eden was a cakewalk compared to the earth trial... im actually scared for wutever the air trial might be...
👁👁
Wut if we have to fly and land with percision thru obstacles? I rlly cant do that...
/pyre one last time im telling you to stop
Hi all, it is still very much empty but heres the document which i will fill up more about the murals and glyphs when I have the time ;; Hopefully it will come in handy in the future for all of us!
https://www.notion.so/fierying/The-Glyphs-of-SKY-f854de030de74ec787a75580a1f81531
Cool
I did some spoiling i regret it but apparently jen thinks im still doing it...
b
bruh
Oh.... then it prob was the other things....
Well... same but different things...
Nvm
Also, speculating on already revealked void of fire trial is a-ok
OH MY GOOOOD LIKE THE JUMPING WASNT ALREADY HARD ENOUGH TO CONTROL 😭😭😭
im never gonna finish this trial
I finished cause of server merge
What if trials are supposed to eradicate ppl who don't have those virtues
Like water=impatience
Earth=rush, english is not my first
that's so
cruel
Good point
that's an interesting theory 
Like fire trial to get rid of cowards
What if trials are supposed to eradicate ppl who don't have those virtues
Like water=impatience
Earth=rush, english is not my first
@stone rivet earth= quitters
OH MY GOOOOD LIKE THE JUMPING WASNT ALREADY HARD ENOUGH TO CONTROL 😭😭😭
@sand aurora ok elle here is some advice... dont stop in the final jumping part and always go left... if u wait before jumping there, your timing goes off and its hard to get it back.... the timing on the floating rocks is just right for u to think quickly and jump,jump,jump without stopping...
Oh but think a bit tho....
Kinda
Actually, waiting worked for me once in the big parkour area
Tho I had to move a bit to stay on the platform
And waited for the next one to be flat so I can be stable on it
/uhhh bit towards seasonal chat tho guys
True
resilience
Imma gonna do the trial again, brb
U know.... i get this feeling that certain ppl in this channel hate me cuz i do things that offend them and if this is tru i am so sorry... but this is prob just nothing...
I wouldn't be angry on you if you ever offend me
Imma gonna do the trial again, brb
@thin dirge wut? U wanna go there again? Wow i got trauma there...
I wouldn't be angry on you if you ever offend me
@livid valley awww thanks
/well, we still be talking seasonal chat like, so how bout bacc to lore?
I haven't do earth trial yet
@livid valley think of the worst case scenario and multiply that by 5.... it makes eden look like praire.... never underestimate the earth trial
/well, we still be talking seasonal chat like, so how bout bacc to lore?
@gilded fossil oh srry bacc to lore
Lol any lore stuff you think in there?👁️
Got some isle of dawn murals!
https://www.notion.so/fierying/ISLE-OF-DAWN-0928a9e4fde24822b755eec185391c3e
the elder for dawn doesnt look like the one in the cave of prophecy :0
I had this theory that shinyboi was the prince and he was kinda like tha chosen one and he was the only one that survived the trials when everyone else died and then prince became king.... wow that sounds like anakin's story...
good job fierying
/lamd how's the streams going?
so i found a dev interview with the lead artist and reika done on gamedev unchained
i have not watched in depth
i also got a pdf of the art of sky from Yui Tanabe's GDC talk, though i think it is just a trimmed down version of the Gnomon school presentation
Is there anything wrong with my theory?
Feedback ppl plz
Wait wuts gnomon school?
I wanna see
Dev stuff
Link plz
What if the prince didn't beat the trials "honestly" cause he was playing for his life rather than honor?
gnomon is an art school i believe, mostly popular for having grads that does crazy good 3d artworks
Oh that is a good idea... but how.... no cape no items...
What if the prince didn't beat the trials "honestly" cause he was playing for his life rather than honor?
@short owl
pins
for link
Oh thx
Perhaps the barier to bringing items can be overcome
Or perhaps he tampered with the environmebt in some way
Ooooh great mental prowess
The prince could be psychic...
Trials are SPIRIT WORLD!!
back to more digging
/thank you lambda
... Ancestors don't look like they have chest candles. It occurs to me that this would make EVERYTHING harder.
/why null?
Laying down people could be meditating. Leaving body and entering spirit world.
All those checkpoints only work cause we can light them on fire
/ooooh the new murals right flago
/although, maybe the checkpoints arre there for us?
Imagine if we couldn't raise the platforms in the water trial
Ergo Season of AVATAR!
Shouldn't they be at least living in a good time rather than a colourless world
Pity
Ergo Season of AVATAR!
@inland narwhal as fun as that may seem it is not the case.... no one can bend...
So sad
/well, aesthetics tho
Prob more like season of aristotle
I’m making a video on sky kids bending elements
good morning y’all, what’s up 
/eeeey it's bricky
/hey does anyone have a pic of the statue (?) shrine thing that we can light up that raise the platform in the water trial
iirc it’s like this just with the water symbol instead
/hmmmmm
/very well
/someone (Null iirc) raised a good question tho
/did the ancestors died because no one had the ability to light the stone things
/ or maybe they cant parkour idk
ancestors cant git gud so they died
/pppfpffffft
/yall who have been to beta tho
/give me sth unanswer in beta that's not spoilery
/ or all things unanswered are spoilers???
has anyone wondered about this yet ? someone was obviously here before us...someone rather strong
That shape looks like the big jar that they use to put butterflies in
the prophets are watching
/give me sth unanswer in beta that's not spoilery
Here:
/ again i have to wait till saturday
/i bet someone must have cheated the trials?
/do we see any cheating in the earth trials, and the water trials also
Water trial is sorta impossible to cheat unless you managed to sneak your cape in or a floating spell or sth
has anyone wondered about this yet ? someone was obviously here before us...someone rather strong
@lethal stump
I was just thinking about it and how it is the only exist. Like if that wall wasn't destroyed the maze would be impossible to finish
/wait what
Does that actually make you completely invulnerable to the water?
>
maybe the maze wasn’t made to be complete-able
Earth trial has alot of shortcuts
Also who are these 3?
I keep seeing them everywhere.
I suppose these 3 are the same as the 3 skids in orbit with Megan. But still... Who are they?
I got it. Imagine for a sec that you're not like... Special or anything. You aren't even an adult. And you've been chosen to run the challenges. You know verry little except that you are allowed your clothes, mask and hair, but no items. You also know that better people have failed. So you sneak some things under your clothes, the most important of which are candles and matches
/you're the shiny boi on the boat that got spoiled
/ignis, that's just how people are drawn
/like ancestors
I just think it's odd, since these 3 are portraited in lots of murals
considering their lack of defining characteristics, i’m betting it’s just a general symbol of « worship »
/maybe it's like how animals are drawn in some of my country's art
/they just always draw 5 of them since like, 5 a lucky number or sth
/idk
Yea
Water trial is sorta impossible to cheat unless you managed to sneak your cape in or a floating spell or sth
@neat fractal cough piggy cough back
Aldo idk if y'all already discussed this, but
The ppl on these new murals. Why are they lying down? R they dead?
For your ingenuity you keep your life. And are sent to the next trial. Of course you do it again. This time is harder, but you still manage to keep your life. So of course, when you are made to continue, you do it again. And again for the last trial because of course you want to live. But... Also... Now that you succeeded, people treat you differently. You can't admit what you did so you play the role people hand you, even though you desperately don_t want to
Also piggy doesn't work
I tried it with friend
/that's like a total change in tone null
/also
/sound like that thing in the hunger games
Aldo idk if y'all already discussed this, but
The ppl on these new murals. Why are they lying down? R they dead?
Probably too lazy like me
/you chosen to do, you dont wanna die, but if you dont die people just gets ya
Wait I'm confused, are we allowed to discuss beta prophecy here?
/nuh uh ignis
Then whom are y'all referring?
We're allowed to disguise it as speculatuion on trailer and murals

I am nonbeta. Most of this is fair game cause I am without beta knowledge
Hahaueaha
I'm trying to be extra careful on not spoiling here beta content
I just wanted to make sure y'all are talking about prince
Poop
So I don't accidentally spoil it for anyone
/ no poop
ඞ
Y'all the fire trial is walk through void with fire thst kills you, i saw it in trailer
confused even more
Huehuehue
Kinda
/yea i guess so
So y'all think prince cheated on those trials
/ yup!
Oh wow it actually makes sense
"the king wasn't good at being the king"
Cuz he cheated
King became corrupt
Cuz he cheated
/ also, @stone rivet spoopy, I didnt know that the void was in the fire trial, you just spoiled me stuff
/hmmmmmmm
Cheating makes you corrupt pretty cruel ngl 
What makes y’all thought the King cheated?
/buter what do you know
But like... Of course he cheated? Would you NOT cheat if your life depended on it?!
/
also, @stone rivet spoopy, I didnt know that the void was in the fire trial, you just spoiled me stuff
Your fault ngl, it's in the revealed trailer
Hmmm

Y’all have a grudge on the King or something?
/maybe?
Would you NOT cheat if your life depended on it?!
But that's actually pretty plausible version
/i think he just wanted to live
As I said before, there doesn’t seem to be any evidence the King was evil or necessarily bad tbh
I mean we already cheating hard on those trials
/like the witch hunts
Hmm
I mean we already cheating hard on those trials
How
/Witch hunts be like: He be witch! Burn! ( and of course you tried to cheat) and if you do: Still a witch! Drown!
Interesting take on the Prince cheating...
Ok so trials are deadly?
But how could the Prince cheat?
Like, idk, there doesn’t seem to be anything that allowed the Prince to cheat
Plus, there’s only 1 Prince compared to a bajillion skids
like prince could've snook his cape
Not sure how a candle would help...
/wwell to start
/you need to light the platforms and stuff to get access to cool stuff in trial
/candless= advantage
👁️
/yes! and i havent played
I just did my 3rd run on it

They should stop the server merges when you die
It happens sometime after dying
Its glitchy, if you die X times you restart from very beginning
Somehow, I didn’t encounter that problem on my first run, so it took me about 20 mins
I think
20-30
Also y'all want a little life hack?
/a bit seasonal-chat ish guys...?
Wish the music kept playing lol, only heard it when I died
Yeah it is
I came here to see if
Obv
I can delete if it's a glitch
Sure!
Damn a dangerous bug
/you werent suppose to see until like,..4 weeks into the season!
holy, sorry
Thankfully I checked and it's only this
Nothing else came with the bug
I shall
/yea but i have theory of what that is but ill refrain
Report
/although we should get bacc to lore?
I deed
Haha is maze actually forcing us to retrace lore-famous Creb Walk Cycle
/elaborate?
and here I am, trying to flatten the mural 
it's by no means perfect, but I hope it can at least be helpful
and here I am, trying to flatten the mural
@hushed steeple thats amazing! would it be ok if i use this image to put in a glyph document i am working on?
yes please 
So uh, that extra thing that appeared in that one place, that’s not meant to be there right?
It isn't
@hushed steeple that latest adittion was a bug and shouldn't be there
the shiny boi?
Sure! Thank you for understanding
I also didn't know at first
Anyways, I find it funny that every "kid" shown in the trials is sideways
I think those sideways “kids” are spirits, since they have the sashes around their bodies
Possibly the spirits in the memories of the prophets
Yeah! The students
c-could the sideways posture mean they're dead
That would be sad
Yeah there’s also only 2 sideways spirits for each trial in that mural so I assume they’re the ones from the memories
I think for the sky citizens to become spirits, they had to be in some sort of ritual
cause we know the kingdom had (at least) more habitants than the spirits we know of today
That's interesting tho!
"for food like moths" caught me off guard right there
I think it’s intriguing that we get a kind of ‘special power’ at the end of each trial - at the end of the water one we get to be totally tubular 🏄♂️ and at the end of the earth trial it’s like bastion where the ground forms around our feet... I wonder if that’s a remnant of the magic power of the prophets, if they even had such a power
good it’s not just me who
surfed
Anyway only haven’t been in here much as dodgy connection
Random thought, but did the prophets get caved in their own cave?
I probs sound crazy but hear me out
The prophets/spirits are found in the cave of prophecy, meaning they must've died there. The cave was previously blocked by a giant rock as well as clouds, preventing any sort of way in or out. What caused that rock to cover the cave I'm not sure, but the clouds then covered it up over time (I assume)
and also I haven’t paid much attention to the murals yet

base on the water trial mural, maybe because the star fall and smashed the rock maybe?
The Prophecy is here? Hide!! 
Magic?
Because the rock went on vacation to sanctuary
meaning they must have died there
Is that true? I don’t think that’s a requirement to have a spirit memory in a location, just that the ancestors have been there in their lives
Maybe the Questgiver has something to do with its reopening?
Lmao Jkjk idk actually, it's a half baked theory
Is that true? I don’t think that’s a requirement to have a spirit memory in a location, just that the ancestors have been there in their lives
@delicate coral take the crying spirit for example, they were also trapped and died while mining
I see profiles
But there’s also all the other spirits who seemingly didn’t die... like, I feel that it’s pretty morbid if the hands on hips spirit has a heartwarming memory with their child on top of the mountain and then just dies there lol
Moff doc porb
/lore moff doc!!!
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
Credits to Bricky for making this 
There
It has some details on what we talk about here
But there’s also all the other spirits who seemingly didn’t die... like, I feel that it’s pretty morbid if the hands on hips spirit has a heartwarming memory with their child on top of the mountain and then just dies there lol
@delicate coral I suppose so, but at the same time, it depends on the spirit? Some have a happy ending, some don't
Indeed, so I’m not sure that it’s a safe assumption that spirits must have died in a location for their memory to be there
Yes, which is why I said my theory is half baked XD
I'm technically a lore moff still so don't trust me completely
Put it into the oven 👁️
Nothing wrong with a half baked theory, it just needs a little more time in the oven
Aaah the joke was sniped!!
/yall did the stone where we light and get a platform in the water trials a grave

We need more baked theories
Better print out my theory and baked it
Everyone get working cuz we're literally making no progress at all and we're just arguing

/thta's the point in lore chat tho
Indeed
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. (I posted this before but I don't think other people have seen it before)
When the water in prophecy cave glitched into the air, I didn't notice at first and when I flew in and landed in water I immediately thought
"did the water prophet just flood the cave?!"
Dosent seem flooded 
’s calling
