Wait what 
@livid valley it was a glitch in the system
No pings >:(
LOL
No pings >:(
Apologies
SHE STRAIGHT UP FLOODED THE CAVE
Water prophet goes all out
Evil
Kokichi did you say there’s no sun in sky before?
cave b FLoOD
arguably we see the sun in prairie
Because there totally is a sun
There's a sun during sunset at Home isn't there?
I see home as a diffrent area
/valley do be sun tho
Home is home
prairie
No.
Connecting the sky realms
how bout prarie
O
prairie and valley have the sun
heck, valley literally used to be called sunset
I never noticed that
Messiah my eyes
dusk was it
Wait
dusk was wasteland
I just thought of smth
oh
Yes
te ll
What of we have already completed/lived our purpose in sky
and everything is a loop :0?
Are we put in limbo but never noticed?
Vibe
What if we bring the stars back home truly
What if we restored the light and we restored everything and brought back everyone
What else is there to do now
👁️ ikr they are really cruel
What do sky kids do after
What else is there to do now
@hushed steeple rinse and repeat
They do Skids stuff
After they lived their purpose
Wait for new seasons lol
Sorry for interupt but I noticed this and idk if this supposed to be a sunlights
That moonlight
Moonlight
there’s the moon, but no sun in wasteland
/no kadal that's a krill
Darn I'm slow again
If you oob up there theres a moon

Uhmm since sky is a social game... To befriend people and help those who started their lives?
Brb gonna sacrifice moths
NOO
Kk back to lore 👁️
Ima go
Uhmm since sky is a social game... To befriend people and help those who started their lives?
Actually I think that is a good point boop, skykids don’t seem totally driven by their purpose, we’re not like robots who only live to fulfil a predetermined goal, but instead we take our time on things like individuality (with customisation) and socialising with friends
Introverts in sky 
like we can't get closer to em
We can land on them and ride em
i'm confused why they produse sort of wind
They don't want you hurt their eyes obv 
*i'm no talking bout game mechanic TimE fOR scIenCE
Tbf if somebody came up to me solely to poke my eye I’d probably try to produce a powerful magical wind wall too
*i'm no talking bout game mechanic TimE fOR scIenCE
Eye producing winds never heard of that in science 👁️
Yea same
Does anyone remember the turtle thing from Light Awaits that y’all talked about here some time ago?
/yea wolfy
I would produce a powerful wind wall that pushes flying glowing light children and make them lose their flame to protect my eye
👁️ I think I was not here to see that
/what how?
The one in Caves
/wolfy explain!
EXPLAIN
We sit on the circles hdhfjsjs
Wait what are you talking about kinda confused
One person per circle and we just wait
It’s whack tho
Have you seen docs?
Cuz eventually it activates woo
Is there pics 👁️
/yooo send pic????
Sometimes, if ur lucky, you hear the meditation sound effect when you sit
Yes that
A turtle from beta
We’re still trying it
We’re stuck at the collect the light frag part
Oh?
I'm to scared to say Brick
What does it do when you a activate it?
Or else i would summon the great lore moff himself
yes ?
/ppppppppft

why
AJKDSAGAJHGF
/light speed bricky
HOW DO YOU-
Bricky always here be looking at the chat 👁️
I won't even ask anymore
i do not reveal my ways
same
Ok
What does it do when you activate it?
Nothing
Hyped dropped to 1 percent instantly
/well, wolfy hasnt post what happens when done in live tho
it just makes the noise
Spin me right round baby right round
if you sit on one of them, (sometimes) it’ll make the meditation noise but it won’t activate
Brick, why- why do you always appear whenever i say your name....-
/he do be magiiiic
Turtles in sky when 
/brick wall magic
Do you watch the server for like 24/7 or smth
let’s not worry about me
Brick aka biggest brain in lore chat history
let’s worry about lore
/sooo lore
/why handstand is resilience?
It's not beta 
/you have to be resilient to stand on hands?
Sorry guys forgive me-

Hello new Lore Moff!

Credits to Bricky for making this 
there
Pyre I think you have forgotten who is Amio
Amio is
/dust of emote is resilence?
Hardworking
resilience is like persistence or perseverance
doing something despite the odds
Oooook earth dust off water calm down air headstand and fire all hail the king
/do you even have to be resilent to dust of the dust???
Dust off the trial
He literally goes on sky for us to take pictures and show us them
« dust yourself off and get back up » how more resilient can ye get
So we can study them
/oooh my smol brain,...sorry i was dumb
/do you even have to be resilent to dust of the dust???
@gilded fossil when u r done with a long journey u tend to do that... brush off all the dirt and soot
Brick is right
@gilded fossil when u r done with a long journey u tend to do that... brush off all the dirt and soot
No pings oki?
Never dust off my shoulders tbh 
/what? i didnt ping?
Oh yeah.... the lvl one emote looks kinda arrogant....tbh
Never dust off my shoulders tbh
tbf, I don't think you've fallen while trying to climb a big rock
/what? i didnt ping?
Kokichi is mentioning pyre
Just call Shouldn'tEdenRunHisWeek Jen
Kokichi is mentioning pyre
@livid valley wut?
Wut?
Ok so Pyre pinged Jen
/kokichi it's fine
Then i said just call Jen Jen
tbf, I don't think you've fallen while trying to climb a big rock
I mean I did rock climbing
this isn’t lore 
/yea lore gúy
Aite 
I'M GETTING SENT TO DEATH ROW HELP
Or at least a commander in an army... hence the PYRE...
It's still going 👁️
/KAY SO ABOUT THE SToNES
/what's the equivalant of that in earrth trial
Like where do we get out the confetti i don't understand
And where does it go why'd it disappear
there's this thing you light in the maze
/and gets you a platform
@gilded fossil u know how in eden u light up a weird statue? Its that
i believe the effects in emotes are basically children’s imagination
/yea but this is different, the stone looks diffent
Someone said earlier that they were graves
And another said, without those stones the trials would be really hard
I think,, it's part of the trial
To continue, you need light, something the student spirits probably didn't have?
/i mean, what it does
But Idk how that actually connects
i believe the effects in emotes are basically children’s imagination
Ahhh thank you Brick boi
/Nite i said the graves part
/yea but this is different, the stone looks diffent
@gilded fossil they painted it grey so the contenders would see it...
Sorry my memory bad plus it's almost 11pm
Stone is stone
Almost the same thing, Jen. An old bowl in an altar. The difference is the symbol is for earth, not water
/what it does is what im asking
Ohhhhhhh
Stone is stone Light is Light and Crabs are stupid
Yea the alter isseparate from the island....
it seems to activate some parts of the maze so that we can get through
In water, they make hills
In earth, the move rocks/walls to create openings??
It moves some floaty rocks around
/ooh okay thanks
Their purpose is for us to continue the trial
Make sense for the petals to be confetti since it glows somehow
/Nite SNEEEP
never, Jen
Oh yea...
ngl i like how the door like floats up when open tho
/did someone wants us to continue ourr trial safely?
ngl i like how the door like floats up when open tho
Ah yes gravity
it's9 52 here
yall, go sneep
Its 10:51 for me
Exactly the same time it seems
I usually go to bed at 12:00 But i sleep at 2:00
n o
/did someone wants us to continue ourr trial safely?
I think it’s more that the trials wouldn’t be possible without those pedestals, so they’re kind of required
SNEEP FOR WEAK
Hey @hushed steeple, did you get enough sneep snorp today? 
NO
/well, a lot of ppl seem to have die in the trials
Sky bot 
/why dont WE die?
Oh damn it’s 2am, Gn y’all have fun 
I DON'T NEED SNEEP BROPHET I NEED ANSWERS
Guysguysguys i think we r focusing on the wrong thing..... how does the door to the shrine open on its own without a trigger in both trials?
/maaaagic pyre
👁️

They open when they think we're ready..
Or perhaps they open once Anubis mask guy thinks we're ready?
/who thinks a child's ready for dying?
What you think that guy is stalking you 
/then again, i have to explain eden
just sitting there while seeing you fail everytime pretty cruel
Prob when anubis thinks he is ready.... remember it took a week after water trial for the earth trial to open
What you think that guy is stalking you
He literally stands in the middle of the cave as well as in home
He knows we're foolish children
Also there's like two green thingies in the entrance, they probably have something to do with opening doors and yeet it away
Oh yeah, they're diamonds aren't they? Remind me of the blue ones in forest
those green/yellow power diamonds are in every door in the maze tho
These diamonds r next gen...... they open without contact sooo cool prob an illusion cuz the trial is a matrix
They r next gen diamonds i think.... and they fly.....
Not open
that's true, the only ones we use light on are the ones in the entrance
So basically we r flying RVs of elders
And then ones where they open themselves, maybe they have a magic sensor of sorts
Once they sense a presence closing in, they open
Our cape energy is depicted as diamonds
I thought they were shaped like stars? 4 pointed stars
And they can differ depending on cape
Do we know what the constellation pebble chalk stuff are for
Cuz if it flies it means its a real diamond
Pebble chalk stuff?
Do we know what the constellation pebble chalk stuff are for
/what?
the what?
/lmao jinx yall
Also, to activate, you gotta sit in this spot

/oooh exactly there wolfy
Yes
/wolfy yea old beta quest
And again, they just fly not open....
The entrance one does, but the smaller ones just go up, possibly in a slot like place above the door (like a sliding door but up)
/wolfy tell me exactly how to activate,,i wanna try too!
something I noticed was that the structure and architectural design of the maze is pretty minimal
Like a spider web?
Kokichi the 2nd ultimate lore lurker
Jkjk
/wolfy tell me exactly how to activate,,i wanna try too!
Just sit on it
not exactly like a spider web, but rather not like any other building we see in the game
Noom, and I think the maze is pretty linear, just some sidetracking for candles
flashbacks to the floating cube with candles
it feels as if everything lacked detail
quietly lurks
/aww man i cant even wait till saturday
/anyways, must sneep yall have fun theorizing!
/wolfy tell me exactly how to activate,,i wanna try too!
@gilded fossil
You sit
On that exact spot in the photo
Definitely not gonna lurk
I suggest havung friends
Ngl earth trial doesn't look very earthy
No thanks
Vsauce noises suddenly plays
That sounds so wrong
“I suggest having friends”
/ do stick too lore when im gone okay
At least like, make it dirt with grass on top maybe? Or maybe they thought it wasn't suited with the aesthetic or sth
Earth trial took me a while to beat because of near the end
That was sand? The texture looked so much harder, like cement
I kept overshooting my hops
rather slippery
Oh, yeah that was most likely sand but the walls, yknow
Brick
Guys i did it
The monochrome scheme of the trial likely didn't help
/ive done that many times
HEHEHE
I thought kokichi was watching anime
Hello everyone! Just got back from the trial!
Ok this time ima poof now
Okay take care Kokichi!

And it was.. not what I expected? I struggled a bit and got pushed back to the beginning— but once I stopped trying to rush and pushed through? I made it!
hey guys, just want to clarify, are spirits our 'ancestors'?
are elders ancestors too?
Ancestors ancestors
What are the round green things growing from the trees in forest? It's weird for it to be leaves for how hard/stiff they are
Only a few have them I think, it's definitely not a branch nor a glowing fungi
After you complete the trial and return to this season’s spirit? There’s now this big markings covering the wall and the flying rocks (?)
if i was to label the ancestor's glyph, should it be "Spirit" or "Ancestors" then in you guys opinion?
After you complete the trial and return to this season’s spirit? There’s now this big markings covering the wall and the flying rocks (?)
I think it’s detailing the previous trials, and what we may have to go through next maybe?
Seems legit
« ancestor spirits » = dead
« ancestors » = alive
Okay so! latest trial was Resilience. Fits well with the Soul of Determination from Undertale, does it not?
Well, all ancestors are dead in the present, so
okay so
i do want to ask
i really hope that this season can explain more about the lore
because im still confused of the whole concept of what Sky's plot and storyline
It's like how the Resilient theme is with the Spider Prophet.
Inspiration from itsy bitsy spider
Thoughts on the water mural?
I can kinda see that!
And the turtle one might be inspired by the rabbit and the turtle
Slow and steady.
like what we've been mostly doing was, collecting the stars and sending them back to ||Eden|| only to rebirth and collect them again
Slow and steady wins the race.
and stylising our characters with the cosmetics
i still want to understand how Sky works and the plot story because IM STILL CONFUSED
Hello new Lore Moff!
Read this short document to get started! Once you’ve read this, check out pins for more information. 
https://docs.google.com/document/d/18B1-SKG3toG0oH0VhOWC5o-cG9u0STAN92QvmbhTDto/edit
wait wha?
I'm pretty sure that the yellow one is the first shiny boi you collect in game, ones the ile elder, the three ile ancestors and- who's the other? The water prophet maybe??
@tropic island theres a few answers in the doc
In that, we see 5 people , out of which 1 has weird horn like things, whom i belive to be the isle elder, the other 4 are the 4 Prophets.
They are waving to a golden child who's going to the caves of prophecies.
I think this golden child is the child of light.
When all 8 villagers failed, the child of light was sent to accomplish the wisdoms. Now we don't know if he succeeded or not, but he must havw tbh 
help im stuck writing prophecies
I think it's implying that the water level in ile was once much higher and it was a proper ile
@tropic island theres a few answers in the doc
@lethal stump well okay i'll go see it and read it
Also, the wl are the imprints of the child of light, so that makes sense too
Huh! That’s interesting
i find that interesting how that one wl is keeping us alive
Yep
@broken basin Maybe the yellow one is the prince?
I know I am very late to the relevant conversation but what if taking our time with things is one of the most important things we do?
Patience is everything
@raven pollen many people believe that the child of light is the Prince/king <3
Niceee
Society winds up so purpose and work driven that we forget a lot of things we care about. That's why the technology became a problem - people worked for it and kinda forgot to chill and chitchat.
I think the wl are sort of the imprints of the CoL, they show his path , and how he travelled across the kingdom.
I think it's the prince cause I'm pretty sure the king got corrupted and we actually play as the prince, the elder of eden-
We just kinda chill amd chitchat while kinda moving towards what we need to do, so we don't get wrapped up in the work
So maybe you're litterally collecting your own memories
Water teaches you about patience, waiting for the water to go down before running to the next safe spot
Earth is using what you learned in the past trial, perhaps purposely being hard so as to test your patience to see if you're able to pass through without rage quitting or getting angry
And maybe next trial requires both patience and resilience?
Lmao I sure got angry
Water trail is about Patience. You have to be patient and wait for the tide to receed and not rush your way through or else you won't succeed
Earth trial is about being resilient, which means, we have to recover quickly from difficulties. When we fall, we just don't have to keep raging about that and recover from it and focus on doing it correctly again instead. Or else we'll fail
Wow, thanks for half repeating me wolfecy
I was at the last part and it sent me back to the beggining lol
@neat fractal haha, sorry i didn't see your message, and typed almost the exact same thing
Lmao it's all good
The murals where we summon when we’re done with the Earth trial kinda looks like people died from these trials, or andy’s coming
They look like corpses
Mhm! And maybe the next trial is something to do with the winds or having to persevere? But I think taking our time is gonna be a recurring theme throughout this
There's also timing the rocks, and walk around when the rocks are circling
Timing is the same as patience I believe
Cuz you need to wait for the right time to jump
Yeah, we can see in the mural that next one has floating platforms, but we don't know anything else yet,
Mhm
And these four spirits successfully got through the trials, all four of them.
Well, I thought they made them
My grammar is terribly whack I’m sorry
What i think is that, to succeed in the next trial, you should have the wisdom from the previously done trial, becuase, earth needs both Patience and resilience. And maybe air will need us to be patient, Resilient and whatever it's focused wisdom is
We got, the manta one to work, the one in villages
I wonder what these are for lore -wise
The masks were a reward from their passing
Dead chat
Don't just call a chat dead after 1 minute, that's not fair and not very water trial wisdom of you
^^
Woweeeeeeee looks so well designed
And the kid spirits (Who are probably the in game spirits IDK WHO KNOWS.??)
we’re taught by them
No Beta spoilers on the next trials
No Beta spoilers on the next trials
It's from trailer
that's not very water trial wisdom of you
my new favourite quote
my new favourite quote
@yes
They probably learn how to do bending skills JK JK IM SORRY Don’t hurt me
heya nulli!
And that quote made me laugh a little hearing that-
I look forward to that one so much

But uh... If ancestors don't have chest candles, how did they get launched
Please don’t send beta here, it will ruin the fun for the new moths who began or don’t wanna get spoiled
oH
It's from the trailer
laughing
Anyways... Prophecy Guide
Keroi, I remember the other day I think you sent an image about a ship but it wasn't allowed in this channel
And I still wanna see what it is 
Yes, Anubis man himself
Found the Staue of air Prophet from the trailer xd
Are we just gonna brush past the fact that trials wisdom are qualities of a ruler
I thought it'd be on the main top platform, but i think that's for the wl
Probably the Prophet of Fire, who was a kid, faced the Fire trial and be like
“I wasn’t signed for this WHAT IS THIS?? A BLACK ORB????”
When spirits saw the trails
"I DIDN'T SIGN FOR THIS"
Later
Spirits:Yay I got the masks!!! Wait everyone is dead?
Owh
what about like they were training for eden. ||in the water trials theres water that kills u like in the point of no return and earth trial is like a maze like in eden||
Eden is a maze?
And no need to spoiler tag here<3

also like unless u had some veteran uber u through eden i think u would be pretty lost in that place
But did eden even exist at that time since it's an origin story?
The boat in Sanctuary kinda tells that the spirits landed in this place, probably on accident..
I use Eden shortcut checkmate > Eden requires Patience, Timing, and Resilience ... These qualities are the main theme of the trials..... ohmymegan
So, the Prophecy was the explosion and the ancestors were being trained to survive that since they warned the king but he didn't listen and the prophets couldn't do anything but train the ancestors so that they survive?
Yeah, but one confusing point is that they mentioned this season tells the origin story of the Villagers
Wait, the villagers?
Wait maze in E***
Take care Boop! It was nice seeing you!
This theory is still dough, but what if the prince cheated through the trials by consuming a falen star or star piece?
Yeah, king is a loser anyways
Like you can't bring items, but if he ate the stuff campfires and spells are made of, maybe that kept him warm enough not to freeze in the water, allowed him to recover from misses in Earth, gave him a little extra manuverability in air, and I guess kept him warm again in fire?
(Have not done fire yet so...)
Kept his flame
Yeah, i think , though we can't bring stuff, we respawn because of the light inside us
Again that seems plausible
But the ancestors didn't have that, so they.....
... Unless we are looking at the wrong abilities. A simple teleport spell would make huge amounts of difference. A teleport spell that we just naturally happen to hace
I think warp is more kind of a game mech
Again I hope that gane bugs have in-game explanation
So that friends can get together quickly
I based it on piggyback glitched
Home, warp, and portals could all use the same magic, which we only have because he consumed and merged with the stuff spells are made from in a desperate attempt to not die in the trials
cut your legs and put them on your shoulders, thats how u piggy yourself
He then could activate the ability any time he had fallen, drowned, frozen or otherwise failed, and would just take a minute to recover before trying again. (The fire stations tend to be where he would go back to in the water because cold)
the spirits appear more, idk, world bound than we are, like, we can just leave an area. Spirits are stuck until we send them away. they do have a body formed of the earth, like we do, but when they leave it behind, they still stay.
https://www.notion.so/fierying/SKY-s-Glyphs-Murals-f854de030de74ec787a75580a1f81531 oof been working on this doc for abit, need to sleep now OTL
still early stages but if u guys have any feedback that would be nice
Hope you sleep well! It looks amazing so far??
Also, i assume sky's physics work diffrently than rl
When you piggyback up you badically jump on your friend, while he does the same
when we use the home interaction, there is a light beam moving up. I think, we may be transporting our light (personhood) into another clay/soil body.
I've finished earth trial, last bit wasn't as hard as I thought
I laughed everytime I died and idk why
But aside from that-
The thing that happens once you re-entered the cave..floating rocks are literally the same thing as the entrance for air trial 
Seems sus
Yeah, but one confusing point is that they mentioned this season tells the origin story of the Villagers
@broken basin
what if... we're the villagers..?
@rancid phoenix air and fire haven’t been released in live yet, please delete your comments about them
Gameplay for fire has yet to make it into trailers or live
Launching has made it into the trailer, but beyond that nothing is known
Wow, I just got spoiled smh
Yeah. I noticed. I am considering summoning mod if it is not deleted soon.
It's looks gold in the picture but not when i saw it myself
But aside from that-
The thing that happens once you re-entered the cave..floating rocks are literally the same thing as the entrance for air trial
Seems sus
Also uh..no one?
Maybe the child isn't supposed to start gold?
Like they become gold through trials where they lose bits of themself and have to use the magic of the thing they ate to replace those bits
YES
I guessed correctly
Earth trial is wisdom of reslience!
resilience is a specialized form of patience, it's patience with one's failures and short-comings
isn't that strang\
Why ain't anyone saying anything about the earth trial's effect to the propechy cave is floating rocks??? What's gonna be air trials thing then since the entrance to it is also floating rocks??
@neat fractal not much to say I guess
If you wanna talk b you may need a starter theory
I asked this like an hour ago smh
Thank you for the response anyways
I wasn't on lunch an hour ago
i will return soon, gotta leave now thoug
does anyone know if this 2 glyphs are representing the same thing? which are the mantas?
i feel one represents the birds though but i really don't know
the top represents the birds i think
bottom represents mantas
there's a mural from reliving one of the isle spirits' cutscenes that shows presumably the isle elder summoning birds like in the cutscene
i got confused since in daylight, the bells at the top thats suppose to bring the big mantas has that symbol too
but yea thats very true!
the same bells with those symbols can be seen in forest (before the temple area, where the jellyfish are eventually summoned) iirc as well and even in home so i'm guessing it's just a general symbol to represent light creatures
oo interesting
The bottom kinda looks like a diamond side?
Like the kind we light up with our candol
It also has hard lines
i think you can see that symbol in the forest temple on the walls of the light creature trapping (probably) chamber
i think you can see that symbol in the forest temple on the walls of the light creature trapping (probably) chamber
is it at theee
1st gate and theres the hidden chamber or is it another one?
i'm not sure about the hidden chamber thing dhdjdnd but around the middle of the structure, where on top is the forest elder's stone/shrine thing, there's these sort of windows around it? at the sides iirc that symbol is there, it might be just an arrow or it could represent mantas being put in there to be crushed up 
then again i might not remember it correctly because it's 1 am rn 
nice same timezone haha
eyy 
but yeah i think the arrow-like symbol could represent a literal arrow or a manta, i've only seen it in isle and forest temple afaik
yea, interestingly the arrow like symbol is imprinted on the roof of the daylight temple too
oo i didn't know it was there too
inch resting indeed
i should probably sneep now, good night and happy theorising! 
gnite!
Nice, same time zone also
Looking at the murals so far, I’ve noticed that there’s the same door drawing indicating that they’re connected directly to each other. I also saw that in the mural, that there’s a person drawn with horns similar to the isle elder and the mural depicts people being sent off in boats like in the mural in the vault. In the second mural it shows the trials, but everyone is lying down without a single person standing. Since there’s was no one drawn near the masks standing, I’m assuming they’re dead.
Based off everything give I think the elders pick some of their best warriors and send them through the trails and retrieve the stars themselves. The issue is that without their original light (since they fell instead of being sent down like the skykids) they’re much weaker and end up dying in the trials. Driven by their possible greed to gain lights they continually send people through the trials despite knowing that it will kill most if not all of them and would try to hide the truth from the rest of the kingdom to keep some false hope that they could still return to the stars.
Ignore the pic of thatskybrophet’s message
TLDR: the elders sacrifice the sky people for lights
seraph confirmed skybot’s comments don’t connect with lore 😔
I'm sorry to hurt you but...
Skybrophet. Confirmed not lore :(
💔💔 crying rn
Kinda think my theory would be plausible cause I just used the bot to confirm it or not
I’ve been bamboozled
I rewrote my small theory to remove everything dealing with thatskybrophet (couldn’t get rid of the image though without deleting the whole thing)
This was just a though of what the murals mean
... So you think the prophecy is a lie to get energy, and then somehow someone finished the trials?!
That seems... Wild
I think the prophecy told could be real to some degree, but the elders misunderstood/twisted it use it to their advantage maybe
The voice of @stoic ore is a whisper that echoes through the ages. May we meet again in the Eye of Eden!
The skybot said they distrust of the elder and we should watch out
seraph is a community elder, and the community elders are in charge of skybot’s random comments
seraph said that the « elders » probably refers to mods, not the in-game lore elders
Most likely
Hey wait isn't there a prophet Seraph in a major culture
No wait.... Maybe something to do with angels?
i feel that prophecy has something to do with why the isle elder isn't carved into the eden mountain
the funny thing is the trials are generous with checkpoints, like dying isnt a big deal

I say that is either because that's where the prince most used the star bit they consumed to not die, or because TGC opted for mercy on players
Maybe both
I believe that isle is separate from the other realms for some reason
The isle elder imo is really significant
what if the isle elder is actually the prince/king
or the eden elder
I’m not sure if that will be the case cause it has been said that the king can’t be saved
hm that's true
Maybe the isle elder worked directly with the king
could be
i'm thinking the isle elder is either not at all responsible for the destruction, or completely responsible
I think he could be more innocent due to how far his realm is compared to the other kingdoms so it was much harder for him to get involved
It’s pretty interesting though that he’s the only elder to explicitly tell us to go to eden
The first two spirits’ emotes are really nicely attuned to their respective trial themes and totem critters.
Water emote: arm gestures like breathing in/out centering exercise for patience, but also like a turtle swimming
Earth emote: looks like brushing off lil bugs, but also dusting yourself off after picking yourself back up to try again
... What if the spirits were supposed to fail in training so that they could learn to do these things
@glass cliff #screenshots-and-videos ?
i think the "dead" people in the murals are either "bodies", vessels for the people that move through the trials, deposited for when we die and need to reappear, or they are really dead people, who failed the task and could not fall into new bodies of clay
I also think that the trials were never attempted by any of the spirits, for they traveled there as children and the mural depicting them dead would be wrong for they were alive as adults
they could be different spirts than the ones we see in the base game. possibly family ?
ok, then i have a question, why would the families send their children on an errand like this one, where it is uncertain if they would survive?
famé, money, power, etc
also religious reasons
people die for religion all the time
willingly
idk, that sounds a bit to fairytale for me, religion makes sense though
and we don’t know that these are teens/children
they could be considered adults by ancestor standards
and who usually gets sent on suicide missions ? young adults
what suicide missions?
the trials, considering we see dead people in them
and if you’re asking for rl examples, WW1 and 2 had mainly 18-30 year olds on the front lines
the younger they are, the less likely they are to have settled, have kids to leave behind, and the younger they are the more willing they are to face danger
Sooooo why exactly are there no adult characters in the game except for the spirits?
I knew I saw this square/rhombus/lozenge shape elsewhere than Hidden Forrest and Teth Temple
Or the so called Factory in Wasteland (but in that case it is a copy of Teth's temple)
I’m really confused now because I thought that the trials were suppose to prepare the cloud people to go on a Conquest of the other worlds, that’s what it seemed like first hand seeing as how all the isle spirits are named as pilgrims and settlers and such, but at the end of each trial so far, there’s also a winged light. Basically children who never learned any emotes and died before they ever could. At least that’s what I think they are, but then that would mean these trials are to save the various children across the clouds
But save them from what then? What happened to them
Maybe I’m thinking too much into this but it just kinda seems weird how there would be winged light at the end of such an ancient and early event. Supposedly the “origin” of the cloud people
i would answer your qualms but i’m forbidden 
i wish we got a cutscene with the eden elder
even like 2 seconds would answer soooo many questions
SkyKids are the fallen stars that we see in the intro. That’s why whenever we go to see our friends they are stars. Lame theory I know, I literally just talked about in a call with my friend
lol
imma post this here, it isn't mine but look at the forest elder
The fallen stars we see in the intro are confirmed to be the elders @rich tusk
My bad, just scrolled up
This doesn't make any sense. I have no idea where to start- a little help?-
are you new to lore?
This lore? Or general Sky lore
This doesn't make any sense. I have no idea where to start- a little help?-
what is "this", I presume you mean the lore material discussed here
The parts I'm confused and don't make sense to me is the Season Of Prophecy lore. I don't know where the start> what is "this", I presume you mean the lore material discussed here
@hushed steeple
well, it’s not complete yet
not all of the murals are revealed yet
until we get all the murals, we don’t know the story
I understand that. Just the two murals- and the stories behind that-
I'm sorry if I'm not wording my words correctly ^^"
I honestly think the figures in the murals are not "dead" but we are looking at it in the same frame of reference, flip the image 90 degress and you will see what I mean
Ah-
like I am almost certain the murals are drawn in top-down perspective
the symbols of the mask technically not are suppose to look like that, but it is to portray its characteristic and significance because drawing them in the xz plane will render them indistiguishable, like you usually see an out-of-place image in the xy plane on teasure maps drawn in the xz plane
Yeah, someone called them “corpses” but I think they would’ve put a gravestone if they did die
The lack of information about the fire trial compared to the other trials is interesting and also kind of infuriating lol
it does not actually make sense to draw a maze in XZ perspective(it will be a long rectangle with shading to denote depth) unless you are in first person, in which case the murals resemble the mind/viewpoint of the author. I am 99% sure this isn't the case though given the maze mural will always be the odd one out in this scenario whether it is drawn in XZ or all others are drawn in XZ
Come to think of it, where do these trials even take place? I get the water one could just be some arctic region, but the earth one is just floating somewhere as well as what we’ve seen of the air trial
and the fire trial is just
the one problem my theory has is the water trial mural
I just can't see it in either perspective
I think the trials are kinda like dreams or visions. We meditate to get to them and come back with our cape already back on
Harp has a good point.
Ooo that could be true since they test mental and emotional traits rather than actual strength, hence we don’t have capes either
The earth trial would definitely test if whoever can stay calm through diffcult challenges and not rage out.
What could air be then? Balance isn’t that mental... Patience and tenacity correspond with the emotes so
Maybe? Or maybe wisdom, although it doesn’t fit all that well with the emote...
No, it was resilience-
Yeah I’m pretty sure air is handstand
Oh oops-
Yeah, maybe balance
Since we are doing a headstand as an emote.
In the memories, we also see the Prophet and students doing balancing
The Applauding Bellmaker literally carried a huge boulder, and was balancing with one leg
The Prophet is later seen also balancing on the rocks with one leg-
prophet clone reporting for duty! 
The Applauding Bellmaker?
Shes one of the students
Oh!-
For Air Prophet
I guess I missed that one
The one with pigtails
I saw her, I don't even vthink I even looked into her.
Yeah, we had a whole conversation about the students and their identities here before
Dang. I completely missed that 
I missed that too, do you think the prophets they train with correspond with their jobs? Since the bell maker has to make and lift heavy bells
The students are:
Pointing Pilgrim - Isle
Applauding Bellmaker - Prairie
Laughing Light Catcher - Prairie
Waving Bellmaker - Prairie
Blushing Prospector - Forest
Hide’n’Seek Pioneer - Forest
Courageous Soldier - Golden Wasteland
Stealthy Survivor - Golden Wasteland
I believe it is the Soldier tho
no, thé mohawks are différent
lemme show you
i have the soldier mohawk, i’ll compare it to the disciple mohawk
Isn’t there another spirit with a Mohawk in prarie or one of the other earlier realms?
theres soldier mohawk and boatmaker mohawk
different
im wearing the soldier’s mohawk, the disciple has the boatmaker mohawk
@thin dirge so voila, i have proven my point
Interesting
If u have ever tried headstanding the first word to come to your mind would be balance...u rrly dont need to be flexible.... and plus u see all kids of balancing things in the spirit memory thing...
Maybe it is just balance but we're all thinking way too hard about it
Yup it prob is balance...
The way the headstand is so slow i would say patience but the water prophet already has that one...
don’t worry citizens, your prophet is here
Pyre is using big brain
I am?
What is fastest? Flying or sliding or juoping or running?
In order from fastest to slowest plz....
Person with the answer plz ping or dm
Or both
I think sliding
@hushed steeple I think sliding only if going downhill, flying when going across long distances, and jumping is faster than running. Sliding in valley is def the fastest
Since i have reached speeds that are so powerful that became uncontrolable
@hushed steeple sliding
that's really dependent on environmental conditions: you can pick up a huge amount of speed on certain downward slopes, but there're also parts of the game where you gain incredible flight speed momentarily (e.g. boosting off one of the large mantas in village or one of the large jellyfish in ascent)
Or geysers! Those are fun
what's certain is that normal running is the slowest option, while jump-skipping covers distance more quickly -- sliding is faster than jump-skipping provided the slope is steep enough, while flying in general should always be faster than jump-skipping unless you're getting pushed back by the wind
also with the sliding race in valley: i think the optimal route actually involves a little bit of aerial movement along with sliding most of the way build speed; there're some sections where it's probably faster to launch yourself into the air rather than sliding (i find that one section after the large cavernous tunnel to be quite slow if you slide down it normally, so i actually prefer to use the ramp to launch over most of it with a flap in closed wing mode)
...not actually sure how this pertains to lore discussion, but was too interesting a question not to go in-depth on 
at least in the sliding race u got gravity to drag u down
problem is once you reach some drops that are beyond a certain height, the air resistance and landing actually slows you down significantly. since the majority of the sliding race is on a downhill slope, you have to start gliding immediately upon jumping off the platform, unfortunately when you fly, you always start in closed wing mode so just by that you are slowed down by a large margin
also I am fairly certain Sky's physics engine simulate air resistance and other factor on surfaces
Any lore on the building in the background?
It’s probably another factory to make power diamonds
Can we discuss that red diamond thingy in eden..? And like...why did the stars fall from the sky? And why we the players are the only living sky people in the entire game? AND What we think the biology of sky people would be? They seem like they're made from rock or clay which is a little off, and they don't really seem to have sexual dimorphism among their "genders" aside from hair and the female coded spirits wear longer robes..
Are the elders gods in the sky peoples cultures?
Wowee there’s a lot in there
And unfortunately there’s no solid answers to most of those questions so I can only answer in theories
So for the diamond in Eden (I assume you mean the big one in stormlock), most of us assume that that’s the cause of there being nobody left in sky
Basically whatever went wrong with it probably caused that fracture at the top, and in some way that caused all life in the sky kingdom to be eradicated
And then skykids came into being after that event (meaning that I think skykids as we know them weren’t around before the big apocalyptic event)
Now I’m going to venture even further into theory because there’s really no solid answers on the sexual dimorphism thing. Personally I think that skykids are golems, and the ancestors made our physical bodies out of clay before the apocalypse, which resulted in us not being eradicated since we did not have life at that point. I think that after that, we were given life by some other entity, possibly the megabird, possibly the child of light
So if we’re golems, it stands to reason that we don’t have many biological differences, because we would literally not be biological beings

That’s my take on those anyway
Those are some really awesome theories and answers 😌 thanks that allows me to have a better grasp on what exactly is going on in the game!
Also remember that there’s a lot of people here who have very different takes on everything too, and since we really don’t know, any theory is equally valid 🙂
I still stan the "Elders go pew pew" theory so can anyone explain where the elders went after they got launched into the sky?
Did they go to orbit?
Or just die in space
I would assume their physical bodies were destroyed and their light ascended into orbit
their cutscenes take place outside of space and time so
i'd say something like limbo
It's such a masterpiece seeing high ranked leaders get launched
you don't see them in orbit until you complete their constellations
Baiiii
Peachy are you new to the lore channel?
Have you read the lore moff doc yet??
The wuT
Hello new Lore Moff!
Read this short document to get started! Once you’ve read this, check out pins for more information.

It’s a good starting place for learning about some cool lore stuff
Hello
Is anyone on
Ok hello ghost yes person
I feel like having a lore discussion but I dont know what to talk about
the elders obviously went to a PU after building up speed in the same shrine for eternity 9 thousand years
i relate to that statement.. @jovial comet
are yall new to lore chat? 
I am T_T
you can refer to the lore moff doc prophman just sent above munchkin, if you have any questions or thoughts about what you read you can say here!
okey. but what if i just repeat what y'all have said TwT. I know lore is kinda a b i g thing in this fandom 
no theory is wrong
I worded that badly
the lore of sky is deliberately vague to permit variant interpretations, so all theories are welcome and there is no objectively right interpretation, though there is a true base story
actually not many people know that there is lore (at first)! i've seen many people only find out about that when they see this channel exists
and don't worry about bringing up ideas that have existed already, it's natural that some people have similar theories 😌
I still stan the "Elders go pew pew" theory so can anyone explain where the elders went after they got launched into the sky?
@hushed steeple omg ur drawing is so cute 😂
Aight I have one- but idk if it's already been covered or not
ooh yes do share

res, do you know when is the soundtrack "The Cloud Messenger" played?
That krill-summoning beacon at the end of Battlefield- was it created to summon krill or does the mechanism simply agitate the krill
i haven't seen discussion on that, but there's no devices the beacon triggers to irritate the krills seen, but it does somehow summon the krills at least.
OOO OOO I HAVEVA THEORY ON IT
is there any lore about where krills came from, or how they originated?
also lambda 'the cloud messenger' plays as an interlude between 'flight' (ascent) and 'the light beyond' (when you're in orbit and you've flown past a number of spirits already)
I kinda have a theory abt it... TwT
I've just assumed that since the krill are somewhat sensitive to light they'd come out of hiding because of that beacon
oh right, I forgot I asked that before
Or they could have weaponized that in whatever battle took place then
i forgot you did ahaha
You know how in Eden, we're supposed to give our winged light to all of the lost souls there? It seems to imply that this is where the winged light scattered throughout the game came from; from all of these poor children stuck in Eden. But if they lost their light in Eden, then how did it end up scattered all around the other kingdoms? That seems like a pretty huge distance for it to go.
Pls share dem theories-
I don't think it is the light that summons the krills, but the activity of the contraption, which is powered by darkstones, think of it as emitting radiation
@queen locust OK soooo when we look at wasteland, its basically a battlefield, used during skirmishes between krill and Sky people. I think the krill wanted to get into the wasteland temple, and have been waiting dormant for the entrance to be open.
When they felt the shift in energy that allowed the temple door to open, the flocked which is why they head in that general direction
Also, if the winged light did come from the children in Eden, how do you explain new winged light in new areas? For example, there are four new winged light in the trials. Where are the four children in Eden that light apparently came from?
@hushed steeple I always thought that the children died in the areas we found them in and like the children in Eden aren't like... those specific cihldren. The game emphasizes cooperation and community, so what if we are all just part of one being?
If their goal was to get into the Temple wouldn't it have been relatively easy for the Krill to simply smash their way in
we know krills are attracted to light, but not to all types of light
🤷♂️
how strong is a krill tho? 
Then again krills are only barely able to kill off Skykids
krill origins: krill could have been naturally-occurring, man-made or corrupted light creatures, those are the three most common theories about them
wl: their souls/light could have been scattered by the storm in eden, or they are left there as memories/imprints of their tracks. i have a longer theory on this but what do yall think about it?
I agree with the imprint thing at least- Ancestors but on a somewhat larger scale or something I dunno
i think it's the krills' speed that enable them to knock you down
@solar relic I kinda lean towards the corrupted light creatues... I looked really closely at the elder manta in sanctuary, not going to lie, it kinda looks like a krill but big and poofy
Fr
do you guys think krills are actually attracted to darkstone emissions, some waveform/radiation that they emit?
Especially its head, like it kinda has the same like spotlight head?
If krill were attracted to that I think we could add on to that one Skykids are successful diamond batteries theory
they do not actively seek out light, they are only aggressive once we come into their range instead of actively seeking light
imagine if they actually did seek light tho in the game O_O that would be s c a r y
if krill actively sought light, all realms would have be krill-infested 👁️👁️ but that makes you wonder: what are krills looking for specifically that they circle around specific areas?
I feel like krill are a combination of the corrupted light creatures and man made theories.
I feel like they were at one point a completely separate species, but once they were corrupted, they lost a lot of their cognitive ability, which would explain why they have a spot light for an eye, and why they are on a set track they rarely stray from when they move
I have a theory but I can not go in-game to check right now, could someone get an full image of the manta in wasteland
on it
thanks
mainly the head
Its gold
gonna die getting this photo uwu
Like a mini version of the fully grown ones
oml good luck buddy
i got this boissss

I also just wanna ask... where is the homespace in like... relation to the other realms?
homespace seems to be a separate dimension from the realms
kinda similar to where the elders are
It seems like its a way point that served as a means of transportation for the sky people to quickly and easily go between realms
mhm mhm
I personally think that whatever homespace is it wasnt around before sky kids, or at least the ancestors didnt find it
I was riGhT
manta very bright
well my theory was wrong :/
that the krill rose from the waters because it detected filaments of darkstone energy eminating from the manta, its headpiece. you have to look at concept art to understand this one. but I do not think the manta headpiece is dettachable, or man-made
at least in the current game
or it may be it detected it from us? hence the cutscene and the darkstone energy in us is too far from the krills to be detected in the temple area, but the emission from the darkstone trigger was enough to alert their attention?
maybe. the water is so shallow tho how they fit in it OwO
What made Wasteland... a wasteland?
I've heard many theories but idk what majority thinks T_T
hmm
you should read the shield theory, very interesting stuff
I will let res explain this one, I have to go to sneep
aw
happy theorizing
Hm.... perhaps that's why Eden's final stage is so dark... the biggggg diamond polluted it....?
a popular theory on the factions is that the people with the sun shield are the ones who are against the usage of sun diamonds, the diamonds are the ones for the usage of the diamonds.
the diamond faction is believed to be of the king's side, advocating for the use of diamonds.
this ties in with gw elder having both shields (seen in the temple and in the cutscene), it could be that he switched sides later on from the king. it's all just theories though
correct me if i'm wrong boop
Spear and swords, right?
trying to find a pic on google v hard T_T
in the temple you see the sun on the shield. then in the cutscene there is a diamond shield instead, i think
??
i can go get it
his shield has the sun
watching it rn
but his armor and spear has diamond
i t h i n k?
i'll brb
(i might be wrong on the cutscene)
Are we talking about wasteland again?
yes
yeah there are multiple takes on the theory, but at their base all agree that the suns and diamonds were against each other
wow that's so cool 
Something interesting I noticed is that the cave of prophecies music has what we speculated was the ‘elder’ motif
Idk if it’s helpful at all but it is curious and might suggest that the elders are linked in
👁️👁️
ah, about the elder leitmotif, i realised i was pretty inaccurate on some of the themes
but when i have time i'll check in on the leitmotifs in the cave,, in november
also it took me a while since i actually don't have many music sheets, but i realise music sheet 4 has the main leitmotif and music sheet 5(?) has the other main leitmotif afaik
This is extra interesting if you consider that the cutscenes get you closer to the elder than the constilation does.
Kinda lore but also not, and a pun
How can skykids fly with their capes?
Because they're, "LIGHT"
So, by seeing the mural.
We can see that fire has 2 people has died in that trial.
Which kind of gives me that fire is most dangerous one.
Causes of deaths in each trial:
Air - probably being blown off and hit by rocks.
Fire - Unknown
Water - Drowning
Earth - By falling.
I haven't done earth yet
I got angry at sky for making me wait
I have a prophecy theory
o k
But here’s another prophecy theory
If the pass is mainly about the king, did the prophets worship the king?
Psh, I'm WAY cooler than those prophets! 
Basically- The caves were meant to put the emote spirits through harmless simulation that constantly regenerated them Forest and wasteland for water,prarie and vault for earth [[maybye]],Air for valley and dawn,then fire is basically meant to be all of them maybye?But they associated fire with eden so much it became their worst ideas and the worst level
Hi skybot
Yea
Notice where the draft is going? It looks like something is going there. No draft would go unnaturally.
Sadly I can't send any photos because I can't make any noise cuz its 12 .w.
And y e s
The only good thing we see on the murals is the water.
Yea-
The water mural after we finish the trial-
Yea
But earth however, warned us.
Nyoom if you head up from the questgiver there's a little grassy area, the continue flying up to oob and look around
There's not much though really
I have too many theroys-
I cant spelllll
Maybye the stars were supposed to give them power over the chosen element?Similar to how the water dosent m u r d e r us after we sit down the second time?
One time I dragged a bunch of moths through the border then l e f t
I think this may or may not relate to the ark quests, which have you find light orbs related to water, earth, air and fire but idk
They're what's depicted in the murals on the way to the cave i believe
No you're fine, you might be on to something
Should i explain?
I have nothing better to do
Ima do it
I wasnt here for many seasons but I've done alot of research on em...im thinking they all give us a bit of backstory to the former state of the world's.[Before Edens corruption and Wastlands pollution and forests rainstorm] and when people were happy,and this seasons spirits are clearly teaching the spirits something!So what if when everything collapsed the seasons went into hiding and the seasonal areas shut down?As skykids explore the seasons reopen and stay there [Seeing as you can go back to seasonal places after the season ends]
Rolls into the void

Eclipse, i think you are into something there
Considering all season locations are "hidden"
Didnt know much about older seasons like rhythm and gratitude, but if you see sanctuary and enchantment locations...
Also Prophecy cave literally placed between the clouds
Sanctuary could be a place that showed the Kingdom at it's best
Enchantment I think could represent their advancement
Veering away from the harmony showcased in Sanctuary
prophecy makes it seem like there’s a hollow cave beneath the 2p door with the butterflies & 1 wl
I've got no clue about the other Seasons however-
