seemed like a very civilised place
yeah
it’s harmony. sky talks about balance too besides will
how was the eden diamond formed tho thats what im interested in knowing about
interested*
wait the pipes
right
wait hang on a second
wasnt there a theory that dark substances formed darkness creatures like crabs, plants and krill?
there aren’t really any other power diamonds in Eden, so all that industrialization must’ve been to create that single diamond
apparently it is a giant fractured darkstone
and when i went to eden it just pumps out ligh
light*
I mean there are the two untainted crabs in sanctuary, so my theory is that they actually used to be normal creatures until they got corrupted
easily overcome by darkness huh
They are smol
yes
n0
lol
there's actually a big pipe where you can see tons of birds flying into
in eden?
Where?
I've a pic
have u tried to go in further to that pipe?
it is clouds aswell so
are there windwalls there
you can't go much nearer than the crab crib
are there windwalls there
yup
oh
perhaps an oob will do
I don’t think those are butterflies, they look like the same glowing dots we see at the exit from graveyard
I think those are birds
thats definitely a way to get themselves to the light and into orbit
i cant think of anything else
The thing I find interesting, in Daleth’s (isle elders) cutscene, he sends out a flock of birds to guide you onwards. Then, you end up seeing those birds in every other realm (except wl and vault). My theory is that these are the same birds the entire game.
yup that is a way to get to the light
100%
its just that they can just oob whenever they want
you see those when u are at the constellation table in eden after u have ascended
did I send this one already?
yup
wait, so that means there are enough birds in sky to make a continous loop from isle to eden and loop back without gaps from the rebirth stage
they go through the light then back to daleth
yes but if you stay in one spot, you will see every one of them..
they are in every realm
exactly
so they also need to go to the light
hm
maybe the birds represent the skykids daleth has guided to the light
they're smarter and avoid the krills 
maybe the birds represent the skykids daleth has guided to the light
maybe idkk
what
The thing I find interesting, in Daleth’s (isle elders) cutscene, he sends out a flock of birds to guide you onwards. Then, you end up seeing those birds in every other realm (except wl and vault). My theory is that these are the same birds the entire game.
the synchronous formation of the birds resembles a bridge, might be significant to some aspect but I have not found what though
I'm not sure but I think that, at some point (before the big kaboom) those pipes were used to fuel the huge power diamond
were the birds part of the fuel? 
hmmm
I might have scrolled up a bit for this but I do have a question
What would the Archives be doing needing that much water
I know, it's against all common sense to store important stuff right next to water
It couldn't have been samples because who takes a sample size of water that big
could they be trying to have some sort of reserve?
That too actually-
Vault seemed like a safe place to become a refuge of sorts for the coming catastrophe
specially the archive
But then why does the place look as wrecked as it does
was this discussed already and I'm just late fkdkdk
no, not really lol, dw
I've seen theories about a 'krill escape' from vault, because of the sizes of the many holes
I'm not too sure tho
Was the krill there for lab tests- because that is an incredibly tight space to do study on something so dangerous
assuming the krill was naturally occurring at least
they could've had baby krills that grew up
If it were baby krill I'd be more inclined to believe that there was a krill break-in
they came to rescue their friend 
no one touches the babeh krill-
I'm pretty sure crabs broke in, but I don't think they could make holes that big
Definitely not- unless it was a horde of them or something
Crabs can throw a sky kid back by a considerable distance and knock away winged light
are there canon bigger crabs like in the beta?
What do you all want now 
@pastel brook what we always want. ANSWERS
and to hug cry cause lets be honest... Being locked alone in that cave until their eventual death is a cruel fate
Maybe the crabs ate the wall?
Could they digest something that solid-
i'm just picturing a horde of crabs against a wall om-nom-nomming on that for several millenia-
I mean, they kinda resemble rocks...
wonder what they eat though
I mean naked mole rats can chew through concrete for what i heard maybe crabs do something similar?
~~ crabs ate through the wall and fell into the void~~
actually... would crabs float the same way we do?
wait, crabs float?
did anyone try to drop them into the void?
ideally you would do this via warping
oh do you mean they fall very slowly?
no, I did mean floating in the void 
we need to test this
more crab experiments for ginko(once they return to lore chat)
didn't ginko say they were leaving lore chat until all of the murals were out in live?
I must have missed that
actually... would crabs float the same way we do?
@hushed steeple they do... go to the crab cave in sanc and try to swim
They will jump in right afrer u
float in vault... in the void
Oh
Lets figure out how the void works...
U do mean the starry floor right?
yup
hand me your krill theories
Probably the starry floor works by pulling your wl towards them... like mushrooms and jellies
Which means crabs wont float.
nono, not theorically
hand me your krill theories
@young vale they r beasts of war.. like Hannibal's elephants
And tyey were used to shoot down flying targets like warships and whurtles
nono, not theorically
@hushed steeple wdym?
like, if we were to actually release a crab into the sarry floor... would it float?
It prob wont in game
And in lore too
Oh hey noom your pfp is zuko?
haha, yeah
it's been for a while
Zuko is the full package when it comes to a protagonist...
Redemption is always so fun to watch
zuko is honestly the bare minimum we should expect for a good-written character
But he has redemption....
There r 3 things u need to be a cool hero... first u need to do cool stuff, second u have to wear cool stuff, and third redemption (optional)
Zuko has it all
Hey noom totally unrelated but if u r bald and wear the red cape and use a resize potion to get bigger, u look like aang when u go to eden
Ok folks gtg bye~~~
huh, thanks for the tip, bud
Hewo! This might be useful to the ones who thinks what the lights in the writings of the entrance of the Cave of Prophecies were the Prophets, i think isn't is so, here my thoughts
This isn't is an attempt to make competition with Noom, he/her have the best compilations
?
Thank you krephet 
Hey theorists, want to know any of you guys know what this glyph is? idk if it means like some sort of a special star or like enlightenment?
i think you see those symbols in the intro cutscenes
we do!
I think it represents the Light or Fallen Stars, but Idk for certain
representing the elders after the disconnection, then you see them fall down
elders are the fallen stars in the intro
do you think the fallen stars ARE the elders themselves or like a source of power that one of the ancestors took and became the elder?
the falling stars are confirmed to be the elders
because in isle of dawn the ancestors brought the stars to the temple, but not a depiction of the elders?
and Daleth is a different glyph
it was said in a japanese livestream and also in the canon lore doc i think? let me check
in the context of the intro, the falling stars are the elders at least
oh, didnt know about that ! will help check it out too!
ah yeah, it's just in the context of the intro cutscene that the fallen stars are elders, but i'm not sure what the lights in the first cave in isle represent
now that i realize the one of the memories showed this
i guess the fallen stars are like
a source of power, and the elders are just a representation of these powers, rather than being the stars themselves
?
since they are of the light, i guess it could be interpreted that way? i thought of the elders as physical manifestations of whatever they were as stars in orbit
also, it's quite interesting that in that spirit's memories' murals, there's always 4 people. reminds me of the prophets 
heya sorry to interrupt, is there a guide for lore newbies? i was abit overwhelmed with too many links in pins and dont know where to start
i can send you the lore moff doc!
ok thanks!
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
[credits to bricko]
the elder name of valley is samekh in the doc, so both valley elders are called that?
yep! that was their concept name, they shared it. some people like to split the name among the two of them to differentiate (usually sam and ekh or sa and mekh)
ooh thats cool
The masks above the Eden gate make me curious... sorry this isn’t the best picture, but does anyone have an idea on who these belong to? The one to the far right looks an awful lot like the Valley elders... and the one on top kinda looks like Vault elder, but what are the rest supposed to represent?
They’re the elders, excluding Isle grandpa
He wasn’t part of lore (only tutorial), so he’s not invited to the party
Sad grandpa noises
Rip Isle grandpa 👊😔
the intersting answer is a possible conflict or event that occured caused the isle elder to not be present
He's busy guiding the moths
Why when we're in Orbit we shine in a different color than the childrens we save in Eden If we save them using our/his (idk) Winged lights?
they could possibly denote that they don't get reincarnated and can go back up to the stars
or also to signify that that they're of a different generation from us though they have the same model as us as well
their capes don’t have the cuts like ours, they’re solid 
And another thing, it's a little dumb and crazy, but anyways... What if all the spirits we saved on our journey did the trials too, and also get a Winged light or some kind of energy that would become a Winged light when we help them ascend (When we give them the ascended candles energy left by the Sky kids we save and they turn Golden) and was all planned to give us more power in our next reborn(s)? (Assuming they knew that one day we would go to earth to save them with the ability to reborn like other light creatures) But why? Why would we need to go back stronger?
they look bigger too, or are you just small? 
they look bigger too, or are you just small?
@normal berry
No, I'm in normal size... I guess, I don't know tbh, I drank a lot of resize potions 
i think those skids stay the same size no matter your size
unlike the glowy boi we see in eden 
It all I’m see
wow
/hiii friends what we talking
so they’re descendants/light/trees/mantas/sky kids/Isle elder/boats/butterfly pot/megan/?
/thats like a lot of things in one
What’s up with this
Belonging place
I wonder if the murals at the front of the cave of prophecy is not the layout of how the trials are but where they were originally found? and somehow transferred into the cave?
I have a random thought..... What if the firework staff was a weapon or something to signal spirits in the war.....
in the forgotten ark i think it was meant for festive or for celebration
Found another Powered diamond ... This time it's in forest temple

I'm highly curious about the design on it
Wait- there are more like this-
I have a random thought..... What if the firework staff was a weapon or something to signal spirits in the war.....
to alicia
Here's one in wasteland
Could be oob thing but you know... It makes me wonder about the design of powered diamonds
i guess unless we know what its probably connected to or any device around to show what it does, i guess it can probably be just a more powerful version of a usual diamond?
Dark stone is the old name of those dark plants (that we burn daily)
Then what are the diamonds on the doors we burn to open.... Power stone?
Powered diamonds/batteries
ooohh
But we can call anything by our own Choice
in similarity with creating electrical systems in the present day
Ya.. it can even make boat to fly
but of course there isnt much comparison with that
the source of this energy you can also see it gradually be used more and more as the realms become more industrialized
has there been any form of compliations of theories on the murals we know so far?
like for example what happened with the forgotten ark?
Hi...
The murals on the forgotten ark are said to tell how the ark ended up there in the first place, and what it was carrying iirc
In one of the mural depictions, you can see their ships crashing down
And by the looks of it, only the ark we found survived, partially
Did we see how or y they crashed?
Not sure, I just go there for the sake of candle running
mhm thats true, was more curious if people had deciphered more on the 1st few parts, like what did stars provided for our ancestors that allowed them to make different magic
i do have the murals with me if you want to check?
Yes plz

https://www.notion.so/fierying/FORGOTTEN-ARK-a26e00cabaec4237b5980d68503b0864
was asking because i just wanted to fill up this document more
Even though I already completed the murals and the ark
@worn citrus me 2
So from the mural depictions, you can tell that they were possibly affected by the storm from eden, since golden wasteland is pretty near towards eden, and vault is literally the building after the battlefield in wasteland
In their dying moments, they reach out for help from the stars, and us sky kids can possibly be the ones answering their call by helping them pass on
One of the mural depictions also show a krill and multiple stormclouds
And since there's no weather at all in wasteland, the storm that led to their demise could be most likely from eden
From wut i can see the cloud ppl gathered the essence of several elements and put them in orbs, making the lights, which means the lights r artificial... and while the cloud ppl were transporting the lights there came a storm and with it a krill blown away by it... the krill attacked the cloud ppl and the lights were blown away by the storm to various locations in sky>therefore the realms r not tye same place at different times but rather different places all existing at the same time
And as faux said the storm could be from eden
I wouldn’t say cloud people but u sorta got the idea
This would mean there were 5 krill in eden but one got blown away
I wouldn’t say cloud people but u sorta got the idea
@sly kestrel i thought it was another name for ancestors...no?
And from my view
They found the fallen lights and thennnnn tampered with them changing them to new elements, so they aren’t fully artificial
Hmmmm but the mural with fire...
And I don’t think the storm from Eden jus walked into wasteland
I believe that all the 6 lights together on the ark caused an intense gathering of power and force causing a storm to attract
And then crash
🌩
🚣♀️
Ok then how about the storm was attracted from eden by the emense power of the lights
Ohhhhh or maybe the king sent the storm to take the lights
All the realms we see at least have one building that's either damaged, or in ruins
And since spirits are scattered in each realm and we assume that their dead and waiting for sky kids to help them pass on, what else could have destroyed and killed them all other than a catastropic event?
My theory here is that the storm in eden was originally gigantic spanning through all realms, with isle having the least affected part since its the furthest from eden
And it doesn't really make much sense how come peaceful areas like isle of dawn and daylight prairie have damaged/overgrown/ruined settlements without something like a storm or something else contributing
And after progressing through each realm, the settlements we see get larger, more damaged, and more sophisticated
At least that's how I see it
i just noticed this fallen king statue...
o whr is that??
wasteland graveyard
the entrance to the next area
there is another statue on the other side
Ok then how about the storm was attracted from eden by the emense power of the lights
@hushed steeple possibly, but then again if u rlly think about it, edens storm is a bit distant from wasteland
Eden’s storm is at the top of the enormous mountain and only on top of the mountain, not even close to the tip of vault, the tip of vault jus has wind and some rocks
Wasteland is at the very bottom of the mountain and jus seemed completely out of nowhere. Yes ur theory about the lights causing the eden storm to move to the ark sorta makes sense, but I couldn’t rlly picture it happening since it’s so distant and it has to go a long way. It jus seemed more logical that the lights itself caused the storm
Psychic, fire, water, illusion, earth and wind
All in one boat
how about the king sending the storm theory?
Hmmm
If the king is involved, I would say that it’s not much possible
The storm is more of a result from his wrong doings and his punishment in some way
In his full corrupted form I guess he could control it
But idk
Seems a bit of a stretch
Especially since the story of the lightseekers and the ark schoolers are a bit distant from the story of eden
I FORGOT ABOUT PAUL
I’m still confused tbh
Did he wander there? Was he sent, was he from eden? Did he jus decide to guard the island
Oh it’s the dev nickname for the hidden island krill
I think
Idk I forgot
But anyways
I forgot about him and honestly dont kno where to start
I guess my only assumption is that the krill could’ve possibly been around the island for a long time and the ark scholars jus found him there when they crashed
Well, there were krills around during the time of some ancestors
Idk if it’s the same krill we see or older ones
But it’s possible for both ways
Normal creatures of light migrate to the megabird constantly and have a steady cycle of life
Dark creatures don’t migrate, they simply stay, so I’m guessing bc they don’t migrate, they don’t age technically
The krill we see is possibly years and years old
But then again
Someone had a theory that they are dying as well as crabs
When we are close to death, we have these black flakes that crumble around our body and it’s shown on the eden kids and the kneeling ancestor bodies
With the krill and crabs constantly dropping flakes, my friend thought that maybe they are dying
And this is why they constantly feed on light
Them being dark creatures is what is slowly causing them to die, they can’t have a healthy sustained life bc of lack of light
But tbh I rlly don’t know
They need backstory
Krill season when?

And this is why they constantly feed on light
Them being dark creatures is what is slowly causing them to die, they can’t have a healthy sustained life bc of lack of light
O i like that theory, might explain why the crabs in sanctuary island under the sun is passive, but once in the cave they get aggressive
and if the forgotten ark murals in the cave is true, it would also mean that that area used to be bright too?
Yes
Oh wait
The place where the lights were made is bright
The place the ark crashed was only bright before the industrialization and pollution of gw
Wut u r saying is basically a summary of modern day krill biology
Great job boop
U r not saying anything weird
/hello friend i see chat not nyooming rn
No nyoom? :<
Nyoom
Wut is nyooming?
the chat goes so fast
hooooo
i am a little confused. what's the prophecy or the prophecies exactly in this season?
So where is the king now? Dead? Stuck at Eden? 
i think we don't know for sure what happened to the king, where the king is...
/maaaaaybe
/we have no clue
/well one of the devs did say sth about there nothing left of the king to be save or sth
/buuuuut that livestream is not archive
oh...
think what we know so fair is still just a small portion of the full picture, hopefully as weeks go by and we get to go through more trials that we will know the truth
/ livestream hunt!!!!!!!!
/yessss fiery
/~~ beta peps do come here and lurk with popcorn~~
/they know sth we dont
/ uh oh i just silent the chat
here
thid may sound bery stupid but i want to clatify it in my head so i am asking it anyways.
does the eye of eden have nothing to do with that light circle u go when orbit happens?
what's with the ancestors?
/in the murals for the trials
/yooooo what's the thing with the ancestors tho
as in them dead ancestors?
/yea they arent ded as we know it
/we still see them as emotes, grown up living their lives
/what light circle delph
@gilded fossil after the eden realm u get ressurected and go into a place like heaven.
/ahh orbit you mean!
/so
maybe the 1st few that went to the trials, many has died along the way, and only those 4 spirits manage to beat it, and they lived on, training and advising the others that hasnt gone up yet?
/the murals after the earth trial has the ancestors, (or the symbol for ancestors) drawn as lying down during the trials
Most likely they're ancestors
is it sure thst they are ancedtors?
oh
Neither Prince nor skykids
/yea ancestors are drawn like that PLUS a stripe at the middle!
And the big point is they don't knew about our existence
But as it's a prophecy.... Who knows👀
hey @hushed steeple do you know anything about this prophecy everyone keeps taking about?
why wouldn't they?
i have been working on a mural and glyph document if you prefer to refer from there for easy access :0
Till now there's no evidence to think they knew about our existence
I could be wrong tho
but we didnt exist at that time
did we?
/i dont think so
/they prophet-see it coming
i do not see u_u
/bruh skybot
b r u h
/let delph finish where;s your ettiquete
See skybot is a prophet now and he didn't saw us
i have been working on a mural and glyph document if you prefer to refer from there for easy access :0
/aaaaj nicccce ~
so the ancestors know about us coming because of the prophecies
its not concrete, but we speculate thats it
https://tinyurl.com/SKYMurals < link to doc
why would they enter in the trials tho?
the trials teach virtues like resilience etc.
/the trials seems reallll strange out of all things
the prophecies have to do with the truth
not virtues
its confusing
maybe
they had to enter
the trials
/pins been messy for the murals tho, im glad someone's compiling it
so the proohecies would be shown
for example if someone can stand the truth
they are worth to see a propjecy and truth
?
Could be they knew us... Could be no... All we can is now ..waiting with patience
/waiting with resilience!
i mean usually we probably don't want to go do something that deadly unless if its of real importance to do i guess. And if the purpose of the trials are based on virtues that they need to acquire, probably that importance of why they want to do it is what was to come for them?
/yall i was thinking the elders all lacked patience
i didnt understand the last question fiery
prob a bad analogy but its like the marshmallow experiement where you are told to not eat for 10 mins, and if you managed to you can have double the reward
or something like that?
okay now i see
~something like thattt
can someone show me (with a doc) or tell me the story. why the elders have no light, why darkness came etc...
?
please
King is the fifth element [Frozen2 - Show yourself, step into the power]
As far as i know we don't know the story of those 2, but we have speculations from fans like us that made some theories
lemme find the doc
no i meant the realm elders
You know interesting thing is both water and earth are part of an ancient thought from what everything made
In Sanskrit it's called as PANCHATATVA
The word 'panchatatva' originates from Sanskrit, where "panch" stands for five and "tatva" indicates elements. Following the universal law of life, every thing on this planet is composed of five basic elements or the "panchamahabhutas". These are : Akash (Sky or Space), Vayu (Air), Jal (Water), Agni (Fire) and Prithvi (Earth)
King is Sky
no i meant the realm elders
ya like really, we all don't really know the story of that and why darkness came

do we know then what the symbols of the constellations stand for?
i mean with further explanation
It's the king mask
Our inner light

the rest?
Owh
Umm I don't...
these
Haven't worked on those
Do actual constellation even exist?
It's the king mask
@hushed steeple is it proved?
*yet
@hushed steeple no but in concepts we can see that mask on king's face
do we know then what the symbols of the constellations stand for?
probably what the elder's purpose were?
like daylight elder he was collecting jars and all so prob thats why it showed a jar?
oh.
wisdom
something
handy work
sports...
war related...
and knowledge?
we need all these and the emotes to be developed?
Isle’s elder staff
yeah i know
I think these lore are all designed to be vague, heres a reminder from one of the devs i believe:
“Not everything is necessarily official canon for this season [of Sanctuary]. Though that can be applied to any season. Sometimes we need to break the fourth wall a bit to create good gameplay experiences.
I've seen some folks [...] come down pretty hard on one another about what "real and true canon" [...] It's for everyone to let their imaginations run wild, not to argue about who is correct or create some kind of gatekeeping.
We've presented the story of Sky intentionally vague so that you can freely project your interpretation of it without anything being concretely right or wrong.
so yea, we don't really have a full picture or understanding, hence we are all kinda like
devouring small bread crumbs
and making stuff up that seems plausible
ok i see. like a poetry or any other literetural work. that have many meanings depending on each one's perspective...
Wut r we talkin abt folks~~~
i asked for the constellation symbols
and what are their possible meanings
Ohhhhhh good topic
U do see the pictures tho...
You know, i have been thinking... what if wach realms are represented by animals?
Isle : Birds
Prairie : Butters
Forest : Jellies
Valley : Mantas
Wasteland : Crabs
Vault : Memory Mantas
Eden : Krills
Like i only memorized a few but gw is a shield with 2 spears on it and the light is a crown with a cross on it
i asked for the constellation symbols
@hushed steeple
For wasteland... i was choosing krills but then i see crabs are more common there
While Eden is more fit with Krills
i like the idea of thinking about the animals too
Eden is prob just nothing and gw is the krill prob
im using those for my sky ocs cough cough but yeah i love that concept
but i find animals' meanings have connection with something else
i now focus on the icons, symbols
spears, shields, vaze, staff
Vaze?
lel
Ya mean vase?
i meant that thing that has inside butterflies
Ohh
dndjksjsjs
Pots
How does light creatures are not affected by forest rain? Only skid.
i find helpful the image of the elders.
sometimes the bigger one has strength that means brave. that is just an example
Oh hey phrased that way it’s like Tarot arcana: staff =wands, pots = cups, spear = swords?, shields = pentacles/coins
My theory about that, Flago :
Light creatures are made of pure light, while we skids are hybrids of light and darkness. The rain didnt effect the light cretaures probably since the darkness cant effect a pure light. But since we are made by two elements... imagine it as two sides trying to take over a body
And the rain helped darkness inside us to take over
that is what i would say. since light creatures can give us light
they are sources of light too kinda
Indeed
The ancestors were also not affected by rain. As we can see it in shivering spirit’s memory. They just felt cold.
They are spirits
Like normal humans do
But I'm not saying that they were like humans ,but maybe
But feeling cold is being effected.
They already dead. When they alive they might get affected too... or if we looking at the devs saying "ancestors are stars", which mean ancestors was a light being too
Maybe their light was better sheltered, which lead to less dramatic effects?
Or maybe sky kid is rain intolerant
Yep, Nulk, you got the point
They might be light being, but even then they need to take a shelter or they will slowly effected by the darkness
I think ancestors were normal Villagers of the places and did their jobs, maybe they neither had light nor darkness or maybe had both, so they were in the middle
We like to let our light connect to almost everything, so our baby light is exposed to the rain
Skids are hybrids of light and darkness, which mean they are balanced but it also mean one side would try to take over the control if there is a chance
But why only forest rain? Not prarie, not isle, not valley.
or dark is already in control and we just like to listen and care for our light which keeps us fed friendly darkness theory for the win
@inland narwhal because it only rained in forest?
@inland narwhal do you mean , Why it only rains in Forest?
Also, according the cutscene... its seems like the rain is triggered by us for an unknown reason?
Frozen water, waterfalls, fresh water.
I have something but it’s not appropriate to say..... ||beta||
gasp
Hmm... If darkness is trying to protect light, maybe the rain is a protection to prevent overuse of the forest from repeating?
how did the ancesotrs die?
Some died from the trials, some might died when eden goes mental
if you're cry, alone, hungry, and trapped
I think this is rain in Forest
matter too protects light beings from rain but weakens those who arent pure light...
Huh... interesting
What if the source of water in water trial is actually from forest rainwater?
think of the lights in season of enchantment too
The only place it rains is forest, so this might be Forest
Or maybe enchantment orbs.
So trial of earth is green orbs right?
Iirc we found it on prairie bird nest... and that might be the reason why theres floating islands on prairie
that is what i am saying😅
Btw
Doesn't that thing on which green light is sitting look like an undestroyed bird tower
Bird tower?
The ones in birds'nest
You mean that tall thing in the center of earth trial
That flies when we go near it
regarding that « realm » part, is that the element or where the coloured light is found ?
i still cant forget that moment ngl-
Ooh yeah, those towers with candles on top
Also, the mural with Forest
Isnt green orb land on one of the floating island? That didnt have any building
The rain is creating rivers
Yeah, exactly what i mean butter
The only place that seems to originally had rivers is Valley
The light is creating rain which is creating a river
Thats also the location of the blue light in Enchantment..
But,... That's a lake, isn't it
SoE: Water element was in valley. And fire was in forest. And wind in isle.
Maybe it used to rain in Valley?
Plus, the freezing of the waters in Valley is actually not a good thing...
That’s in a different mural
cyan was between isle and prairie
Now im confused... it is blue or cyan-
@broken basin can i dm you real quick ?
No, wait , valley light in soe was blue, but in Prophecy, acc to me it's cyan
Its either Samekh become Elsa or the element in valley didnt work like it was expected to be
About the freezing rivers in Valley, it’s actually not a good thing. Cause it looks like the rivers and lakes that was originally in Valley used to flow to GW, and we see a lot of ships and waters there.
If the rivers and lakes dried up, that would stop the flow of water to GW
Drying it up
Maybe that’s what happened with Saluting Captain
And the pollution cant leave wasteland
Maybe
Instead its increased there
Not quite what I’m thinking, but...
forgotten ark blue light magic also helped unpollute the water there too :0!
wouldnt valley have always been frozen ? cause...it’s a mountain range ?
But not solid frozen right what we got rn
Yeah, but remember how valleys and mountains work
They’re the starting point of rivers that flow into the Ocean
Because of thawing water
Except if valley literally located on top of the world or soemthing
I guess? It’s not my best explanation, I definitely remember learning something about water cycles and stuff like that
We need Sky 🗺️ of the realms and how close it is to ||Eden.||. We can see ||Eden|| from everywhere except wasteland and vault.
Rivers and streams generally start from mountains cause I think lower down, ice melts into streams and then rivers then into the ocean-
glaciers in the mountains create rivers which flow down to basins, and in this case wasteland is a river basin (it’s even between two mountains) and from there lakes are formed and rivers also go to the sea
also no need to spoiler tag here
For one thing forest and wasteland seems to have pipes connecting and straight to Eden.
forest..?
Oops
I think maybe the rain from Forest may be pollution rain coming from wasteland. The pollution there got into the groundwater and comes down as acid rain. That leads me to believe that the forest is technically “closer” to Eden, but perhaps the path through Valley is easier.
I was gonna say, Forest and wasteland have same design of switch activating room. Forest’s elder room and wasteland’s first area where the manta is krilled in loop. And how the pipes and wasteland and Eden connects
give us a map tgc
Yes , because both of them are power diamond manufacturing factories
And the gw one is a bit bigger than Forest.
it’s the same design but different, slightly
and yknow
one is functional and the other is destroyed
I think they came up with the idea of making diamonds and tested a factory in Forest, then, when they succeeded, they built a whole industrial area but took it too far
So, with my theory, we would be going in a bit of a ^ shape to get from Forest to valley to wasteland
Perhaps there is an entire barren area between forest and wasteland that is unsurpassable, and we go to Valley to get a bit of higher ground to make it easier to traverse through
maybe since hidden forest and golden waste is on ground, its technically faster to go from there but not as fun and sunshine
can be how hidden forest has the hideden cave underground
Which would then mean that the factories in Forest aren’t necessarily a separate starting area. It’s just a less densely factories at the edge of “town”
Yeah , probably gw was a big river basin?
And river basins tend to have a lot of vegetation around them.
Underground cavern above clouds 
More like undercloud cavern 👁️ 👄 👁️
i hope some day we have like an official sky map to know the height and distance diff 
With the oob boat in Forest, it would seem like the forest is overtaking the polluted area and reclaiming it, similar to the area around Chernobyl. If we waited centuries, perhaps the Wasteland would eventually succumb to the healing of the forest.
From valley though Eden looks closest
Yeah, but i think we can make that out by looking at the amount of destruction in a Realm
The more the destruction, the closer it was to eden
The vault whole top is broken, and we can see it in 3rd floor, maybe rest of the walls got destroyed, since vault is Directly below eden
Yeah, but i think we can make that out by looking at the amount of destruction in a Realm
The more the destruction, the closer it was to eden
question though, why does valley looks more healthier than forest though? if its closer to eden?
Maybe it's not
like i guess depends if the source is from the heart itself, or the decaying lands
Also, valley too, has quite a lot if destruction of you look at the colonies, but not so much in the citadel
Btw, forest gates area is pretty-much undamaged
its so cute
So this is what I envision the map probably looks like. The higher elevation would reduce the impact in the mountains that the wasteland receives
I am a 5* artist. Lol
I think since eden was high up, lower elevation was less damaged
An example is vault, look how floor 1, and 2 are completely fine , but from 3, all walls are broken
Ehhhh I don’t know. A tower will usually break down from the top down anyway, as the top is more exposed and precarious.
Yeah, and since vault was below eden, that makes sense that it's upper part is kaboomed
But it all depends on how this pollution works, which we don’t know either. Is it aoe or gravity induced?
Doens't this look like a krill
Oooooo it does
I think it's the pollution from which it's forming
As we can see the smoke from the light going up into the cloud
I've been here for hours help
long time listener, first time caller
Im seeing the mural as the smoke from the fire becoming the cloud and the other things r tongues of flame burning down the forest
Remove that message, and yes it is
Pspspsp sorry i didnt talk actively today- got something to work on
Jk lol
I won't explain I'll just say that you should be careful bc of it
What?
Lmao
Brain bleach for anyone who need it
Yea he was joking
Dont take anything spoilery i say seriously and i am so sorry if it caused any damage...
There's no such thing as a dark worm
Yes
Who would make a dark WORM???
I’m constantly torn between “I want to know what’s coming” and “I want to wait til it happens”
But also “I don’t quite understand it when it happens anyway”
It does, and can we just now stop that topic, let's continue that krill cloud thing👍👍
And saying things like that is adding more to it pyre and kokichi, please understand <3
Most definitely
That horrifying creature is definitely not there at all
It's a lie
So for the trials, is that reliving the lives of our ancestors and the path they travelled to gain their light?
Pyre, please
Oh oops
Well idk how we get transported to the trials
It is a deep pocket dimension after all
I think it's just our soul that's there, that's why we can't use any items
Lots of mind altering substances in a ritual is my guess
We even meditate to get there
Yeah it's like a interactive dream
We aren’t actually there
Krebby is HERE 
Lucid dream
I wish i could lucid dream :'(
THE MATRIX THEORY is coming to light
Wow lots of faces i haven't seen in a while
Wow lots of faces i have never seen
The spirits are acting like a shaman of sorts
I'm not new here, but I'm a bit busy with the studying
Same
Same i just lurk around lore chat
I'm not new here, but I'm a bit busy with the studying
@kind musk oh i was saying i was new
Sometimes i talk tho
But definitely Kokichi and Pyre, also Omenkitten are krebbys i never seen before 
The water trial I kind of get. But what is the significance of the maze?
I’m new. Like 2 weeks old
Remember?
The water trial I kind of get. But what is the significance of the maze?
They we're talking about vault and now fire trials and the pollution
The water trial I kind of get. But what is the significance of the maze?
At the end says something about Resistance
Resilience*
even tho I'm not new, I'm not active here, so noone knows me
Resilience*
Oops
The spirits are acting like a shaman of sorts
@sick tide i dig this theory.... its kinda like my theory where since usually prophets emphasize their connection to god the stone masks and the halo r the prophets' attempt at that...
has anyone heard from the prophet recently...?
Everyone knows me for my lurking and other stuff
Let them speak 
The brophet actually gives us clues
Plus brophet doesnt own a mirror...
Lets type stuff about prophets until brophet gives us the knowledge we need
Thats a bad idea
Maybe it’s signifying that we have lost so much, we don’t even remember WHY we are rescuing the fallen, and they are concerned that will lead to a repeat of history
I'm in love with pants 
Have we taken a wrong turn lately? 🤔
Anyone have a solid ask about prophecy?
Oooh guys imagine if moths of the future go "the fire prophet ts is coming!!! I need those pants!!!
henlo what are we discussing about.
Like we talk about rhythm pants
-is a (kind of) moth who is excited about pants tomorrow-
I actually saved my Candles specifically for the Blow Kiss spirit, lmao
Well, at least when I started saving them
👀
Im excited for pants tomorrow, but I'm not considerated a moth though
Me too
That’s like, 4 weeks from now
A few months later we could tell moths: back in my day, we used to love rhythm pants
/bacc lore tho lmao?
Yes
Yeah
Yup

Korea is so dang cold right now
Im on my phone outside and my f8ngers r trembling as they thpe
Why is the isle so barren (besides the obvious reason that it’s a starting area)
Are we pushing further and further out away from the pollution in an attempt to get away?
/did they all just stayed in that prophecy cave?
beware the ||mods||
haha
Why is the isle so barren (besides the obvious reason that it’s a starting area)
@sick tide i love your mindset!!!! The ability to separate game mechs from lore is a virtue i value a lot
/no you brophet
what are game mechs
/like stuff that exist because THE PLAYER
Game mechanics
/and not the story
/the line is blurry tho
Game mechs r evil things that i have now excommunicated from the lore church lmao
Sorry i was idle, in what are we now?
/a bit harsh pyre lmao
I was jk
Think of it as the desert to Jerusalem.... only travelers there.... no settlers
I mean, it works. Our population could be looking for somewhere new, and you’ve just been given some crazy task by your great uncle who isn’t willing to move on from the devastation and loss
/everyone do be in that cave, no one needs to be outside anyways
I need my computer to be fixed soon or the lore PDF will be for the next year 
/hmm lore pdf?
Yes, i was writing a lore pdf
-waves cane- back in my day, we respected our fallen!
Guys the spirit is the pointing pilgrim... prob anyone who goes to isle is trying to hang out there like do we see more than 5 skids in isle at once?
/ yea grandpa we've heard that a trilion times
Wait grandpa didnt u say our great great great grandpas blew up all the stuff the fallen made?
/yea we can see more than 5 skid as one
Usually
Imagine you’re the youngest and all your older brothers/sisters are like “what you believe that old lunatic? It’s suicide to go to the wasteland, you know it!” And then you’re like “NO BUT ITS OKAY I HEALED A PART OF THE WASTELAND I THINK WE CAN DO THIS! COME SEE MY BOAT!”
It partially fills with water at the start n u cant steer it
@hushed steeple nah I mean the big purple one
I realised.. the only one who really looks identical to the spirit students in the Prophets’ memories is Pointing Pilgrim. Since we’ve seen spirits repeat hairstyles (mainly QGs), can we be really sure the other students we saw were the spirits we relived?
But obviously somebody believed in you, cause now there’s a shop there
But gramps and gran support him/her and says cool, but your parents say dont just stand there, go to eden u cant go half way...
Plus, some of them really had different appearances, only hair matched-
/the pointing pilgrim in the memos barely age as well
If you’re gonna kill yourself, you might as well do it proper.
/ooof a bit harsh kitten
Yea...
Make your life mean something, save the fallen
More like it
The only student in that area also seemingly took their teachings and showed it to us in the memories of that spirit is also Pointing Pilgrim
Dying out in the wasteland doesn’t help anyone, even if you have a cool boat
Most of the other spirits we theorised that were the students had memories that barely correlated to what the Prophets probably taught the students
I told them this would happen but did they listen??
I did... they did... we all did...
So makes me believe that Pointing Pilgrim was actually the only spirit that was actually in those specific memories
Maybe the pointing pilgrim was the youngest? Idk, kids who grow up and out tend to not keep the same appearance as a structured school setting
/yalll
Yeah, but remember what I said above too
/maybe the other reuse their hairstyle like to remember the oness who died in the trials
Their memories doesn’t correlate with the Prophets teachings, their appearances are different aside from Pointing Pilgrim and also Pointing Pilgrim was kinda the only one who is actively aware of us after reliving his memories and points us to the temple, as if he was waiting for us
Or anticipating us I mean
Despite his simple appearance, hes actually the most unique spirit there is and also our first spirit that we encounter
So I think Pointing Pilgrim is the only student that was taught by the Prophets that we actually encountered in the game
help im stuck writing prophecies
We search out all the others, but pointing pilgrim searches us out
U do realize that spirits prob go to a barber shop and choose from different hairstyles.... so its quite possible for different ppl to wear the same hairstyles
I still think Pointing Pilgrim was still the only student there that our skid met
Also, that wouldn’t make sense for the devs to put there
Maybe the hairstyles can signify the period of time they lived in? Like how cultures shift over time
Yes that
Or maybe region
Which, not everyone can be a student of a prophet. Some people have to do the hard work
As I said, the devs put those spirits for a specific reason. It wouldn’t make sense if they suddenly changed their hair later
Maybe the devs just gave them random hair...
We aren’t all just hanging around listening to religious leaders as our day job, so that could make sense for that being the only student
It isnt a job...
/wait the devs said that specifically Butter>>>
They r dedicated students at summin like a boarding school
And schools are normally teaching you the skills you need for a trade. Or, at least, they should be
/wait the devs said that specifically Butter>>>
@gilded fossil huh?
Yup
Search up the definition of a Prophet
As I said, the devs put those spirits for a specific reason. It wouldn’t make sense if they suddenly changed their hair later
/i mean.. this is confirmed??
Imma make great use of the calm down emote... if the moth im ubering starts getting excited and starts clapping like mad and pointing i could turn calm down on and then the headstand
I guess
But sometimes spamming certain emotes can make u lose the other dud's hand
/prophets are more on the religious side of things
@gilded fossil yes
Hence the stone masks and the halo
But sometimes spamming certain emotes can make u lose the other dud's hand
/well this is not lore, but, spamming emotes as the leader of the group wont lose their hand
Is any one elses head goinv PELICAN!!!!or is it just me
/ only lose when you're BEING LEAD
Yes
/anywways
The moth is being led
Why are certain spirits represented by animals, and not others
/they are teahcers, not nesscerily looking for future
If it goes crazy over the emotes i need to calm them down
/they just teache the word of god
/they are teahcers, not nesscerily looking for future
@gilded fossil yup
Why are certain spirits represented by animals, and not others
/that i dont know tbh
They r?
Lmao
what happened there-
/ded chat is ded
eh it's lore chat

/i want to revive chat
but like what happened in pyre's place
/but i cant do it
/that;s for gen chat
but it's only mentioned here soooo
what's lore poppin 
ooh
/ seal tho
yeah
/ yesteday i thought of one of the prophets telling their student: If you want to eat then you have to work
what prophets? There is only skybot
I'm-
WHEEZING
/ if you dont work you eat krill eat rock
have you thought about how spells might be just king shaped gingerbread cookies
What we talkin about

/oooh imagine christmas
with some spells put in it
"we are doing this to avoid the king he wants to put his head everywhere so-"
/pffffft
/imagine asserting dominance so much that everyone has to stamp cookies in his head
the king looked at his statue and went
I want to be that toll
and he saw the krill has that long body
assuming it was because of darkness mutating it
so he just
darkness everywhere make me toll
then eden crystal went kaboom
/aaah must go now
/imma leave with a question i hope it keeps lore people talking
ah
bye!
to alleviate our suffering
Can you sue a toll rock statue?
no,but we can sue the spirits

how do you sue the spirits when they're dead 
Yeh the spirits are basically beyond needing material things so they won't bat a head to it lol
...sorry for not really contributing anything to this chat-
they can still sell stuffs
AND we can meet the elders
storm in their room
Skids: we wanna get your stuff
Spirits: sure
Skids: get our stuff too
Spirits: naw lol no
"they took our stuff when they said no refunds"
imagine each shrine like the home shrine could be a home shrine
the ones in the trials look like the home shrine
so can it turn into another skid's home space?
/nuh uh seal the shrine at the end of a trial looks bigger
/and the face of the animal for the element
/really makes you wonder about all the shrines
/yea but the trials it gives ya power!
/okay okay but like in the seasonal areas like ark and sanc
/the return shrines seems to have scales
/yea eden shrines are more like torches
/and in forest and gw you still can return using the beta bird statues
/reaaaaaly makes ya question what is a statue
What if statues weren't always statues?
A detailed rock
Sky could have been a world where the closest thing to a statue was someone who died in an interesting position
I’m a bit new to the lore but the thing in the middle of the thing on the top of this door reminds me of the king in the concept art 🥺
Hullo
Idk I was candle running Isle and I saw this and said “hey the thing in the middle looks like the king”
I thought it was interesting
/king propanganda everywhere in game lmao
The things next to him look like the return shrines
/i think it;s depicting other elders but you could be rright
/although, the things next to that do look like portals to realms
hey guys, was it said that the isle of dawn elder isnt actually grandpa?
Yeah
/fiery nuh uh
like where was that being said at?
Also woah not grandpa?
idk i was reading thee
/not confiremed by devs? but not denied either
non canon doc
yea it is, just confused on where that headcanon came from
/i say
king propaganda everywhere
/he faked his beard
The king and prince are very interesting to me
/yall i notice prophecy cave total lack of king stuff
also where can I find more photos of those two?
I wanna learn more about how Eden was formed 
k a b o o m
yeah but like
a compilation
/lore moff doc yet Coasty?
yeah but like
a compilation
/bricky has it maybe? need to summon him tho
I haven’t really opened it yet all I saw were the links in the discord
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
/ Og by Bricky
It forces me to go to a discord channel and it won’t lemme do that inside of the app e-e
/ah, that okay then
Probably because this is from Ancestor's past, the kingdom isn't yet established, so no King exists
@hushed steeple t-that's way too far-
/well, boop we do see king on doors
/and other isle stuff
/hmmm why the season look like king
/this thoooooo
i have seen your future, @gilded fossil, and... well, i won't spoil the surprise 
/bruh shut up skybot
/you be like cat, you dont come when i pspspspsps
The prophecy symbol DOES look like the king/prince, Pog
the start of people won't need trials though,right?

@pastel brook I've seen your future you are looking pretty DISMANTLED
why would they be advanced enough to do such trials sksks
@pastel brook I've seen your future you are looking pretty DISMANTLED
@stone rivet ahh idk if you were talking about me,but thanks
no?
ah
trying to make a joke-
/people must live somewhere tho
isle might be just where stars fall
Oof?
so they made a station there
I was trying to post a link so I could go to the discord channel 
/ coasty u say sth skybot dont like?
so they can pick stars up and yeet them to the sky
I am a stinky mobile user
/this?
oof
No
/well, you cant post link to other channels friend
I’m trying to open the links in the docs
