Yeah but maybe since diamonds have power our skin is some variant of coal that doesn’t burn
Bc power diamonds aren’t the same as regular diamonds obv
Switching topic. The kids pajamas kinda look like a Buddhist monk clothes
@lucid silo adding more to this
And if u look closely when we collect wax it goes straight into the diamond on sky kids clothes...to power the diamond I presume
Idk just a theory 
Yee
Oo poggers
Yesss poggers indeed
Sky is poggers
Lol
Indeed
yo has anyone figured anything out about these yet?
This is inside a child?
@quiet willow yep
I went into somewhere which was cramped and got that view
@proper mirage They look like drawings of constellations- but most of them don’t match up with any constellations we’ve seen 
I could not not save a picture of it
the one in the picture looks like the isle elders staff tho lol
Maybe it's a map
i was thinkin that too
like maybe for the spirits or something but idk what itd be trying to say since its in the prarie
The one with two circles is where prairie is maybe
@quiet willow yep
@lucid silo wow, they have the old stars that was once on their capes before
@proper mirage There’s more though- one in particular that I remember, from birds nest, looks a bit like Orion?
There aren’t any constellations like that yet
@lucid silo wow, they have the old stars that was once on their capes before
@quiet willow really?
Kinda looks like the cassiopeia constellation
That's cool (legau
)
@quiet willow really?
@lucid silo yep, on the very start of the game, the stars on the capes was just like this
somewhat like the beta stars
its missing the ring around it
Yep
Where is the isle elder during the isle cutscenes?
Almost Orion- has to scroll through so many pictures to get it 
pretty sure that stone thing is a beta memory
i think im late to realizing this but aAWHGAFSTAH ITS HIM
Bru
bru
the 8 pointed star is what’s called the prophet’s symbol in arabic culture
what if the lil dude became king because he passed all the trials
The prince and king are separate entities I think
I believe they're the same
But in the concepts, the Prince flies out of the King's body, but I think that Corrupted King was formed from the dark stone that trapped the Prince
we don’t know for sure, Caesar
Has anyone completed prophecy yet?
I know people buy event candles but probably haven't 100% it
the constellation ? Why ?
there’s plenty of people who have 100%’ed the constellation
Im on 45% too!!
Ayyy
Thought I was on 30% something
there’s plenty of people who have 100%’ed the constellation
@lethal stump i havent seen it actually
Is it the one at the valley door?
is this lore related ?


Anyone have any interpretations on the elder cutscenes?
i think im late to realizing this but aAWHGAFSTAH ITS HIM
@proper mirage oh my god![]()
![]()
those two at the top are definitely the valley twins no doubt about it
i forgot to ask if anyone actually made any theories for the season lol
Omg The one by the green star could be the prairie elder
i forgot to ask if anyone actually made any theories for the season lol
@proper mirage idkI wanna make theories on it but I don’t really know where to start :/
Red is wasteland elder, green is the valley elder, yellow is prairie and blue is forest
There was a helpful infographic detailing the murals if I recall
I wonder if the fire trial has something to do with creatures of the dark
I just woke up and jumped straight to this chat what the heck 
Lore is a lifestyle now I see
What if it's just a bunch of crabs always yeeting themselves at you?
I'm sorry I havent slept in awhile
Cause things look sketchy in the fire trial
I haven't played it myself since I'm not in the beta progran but I have a very strong feeling I'll hate it 
At least in the trailers
Ye
In the trailers it shows a huge dark orb
I havent seen the trailers...
it looks like well burn in the fire trial according to the murals lol
Oof
Well can't help but wonder what glorious way we'll die during it

What if there was a thing where if we already completed the trial before we get a shortcut through to the winged light if we want to
That's more for wishlist and ideas
are the murals supposed to be them finding the elements and taking them to the realms?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZUmN0wtetU - link to the trailer
dang beat me to it
I think the isle elder created them?
Or maybe the elders usurped the powers of the prophets and took away the elements for themselves
if the isle elder created them then he really just burned down a whole forest huh
I feel like that's just demonstrating the elements powers
I think bricky postulated that the flames burned away the forest in the golden wasteland
there was a forest there?
i'd get the mural from under the Forest bridge but
I'm in a Meet call right now but I'm fairly certain that the temple depicted in that mural is the Wasteland temple
The flames WERE given to Wasteland Elder, it couldn't be just some coincidence
That it was a diamond production site as well backs this up in that they must have razed the forest to the ground to make way for the construction of the factories you find scattered in that realm
nevermind here it is
Though I doubt the Isle granddad gave that to Wasteland elder expecting something as disastrous as deforestation-
Maybe they harvested butterflies as well or something
The boats with pots seem to be coming from prairie
Certainly
And it's also in the wave cutscene
So question is what did they do with the butterflies?
Eat?
One popular theory is that they're juiced to make diamonds
The same way we think they took mantas there to get juiced
I've just been believing that they transported them like that for that purpose-
kinda wonder what the Butterfly Charmer thinks of the Laughing Light Catcher scooping them up for the light juice
BUTTERFLY JUICE????
yes my good man- butterfly juice
That's one of the theories present here anyway
lmao yeah that too
Considering they're beings of pure light I think those factories were just designed to concentrate that light into a container- the diamonds
us: haha butterflies prettii so shiny
ancestors: butterfly juice go brrrr
Maybe not created so much as it just deliberately hidden by someone, but that might just be me
Sanctuary looked to be rich in resources so it's weird to me that the place looks as preserved as it does
perhaps those bells were broken on purpose
Sanc dad, maybe?
We see in the Prairie villages that mantas are attracted to the sound of the bells
So those bells being broken in Sanctuary and scattered in peculiar spots could have been intentional
We like walls of text here lmao- easier to find
Anywho- I'll take what morsels of lore we can get from Sanctuary so I agree with how it might have come to be
Sanc's pretty out of the way but it did give us the Elder Manta
i wonder if the mantas have a larvae state, or a state before they are able to fly around
we know smol manta-> big manta-> extra big manta-> whale manta but what's before smol manta?
hmm
so they just spring out from water itself?
or maybe there are manta eggs in water
mmmmm manta eggs
maybe they can breath in water and in air
who wants some scrambled manta for breakfast
maybe someday we might
i.. dunno either sweats
i think frogs are supposed to be amphibians...? and i know nothing else
Amphibians yeah
arent there like itty bitty manta bird things
Itty bitty manta bird thingies is now my new favorite way to describe them-
what if its just a coincidence
Sky takes inspiration from Ghibli films so I wouldn't put it past TGC to have incorporated those elements in because of that XD
slides in
The vault at laputa with all the cubes was also an inspiration for the hidden archives at vault 
And
And
And
Reika made the bow tie cuz she loves kiki’s delivery service



ok now I’m off
Hahaha always late to the convo
pspspspspspsp
:'(
Dw I was late too
Well then let's liven it up
So before the stars fell there were already people below right?
who are they
No, the stars fell and they made a kingdom
But in the Isle murals
I mean I could ask what kind of sounds you think Skids could produce since that’s relevant to a thing I’m working on but also requires basic knowledge of the International Phonetic Alphabet so
It seems like there were people below already, who watched the stars fall?
And yeah, the Ancestors were in Sky before the Elders were
The way I understand it in the beggining is that the stars fell and they made a kingdom ancestors after.
where did the ppl live if they came first? In the clouds where they fall to the ground?
Hmmmm,,
If they came first, where did they come from?

megan made em
If megan made them first where would they live?
Hmm
God made earth first not humans where would they live if god made humans first
@meager canyon I might actually have an answer regarding a theory I came up with the other day (having to do with where the people came from)
Hmmm

woo! yesterday i spoke in lore chat for the first time as a lore moff and jumped directly into a slightly intimidating rain debate. i am back again today, glad to join u all!
@grim kiln can u elaborate?
Kskskdkdkksks omg welcome Kelei !!
@chilly thunder welcome kelei!
Ay welcome kelei XD
Glad you are enjoying lore chat!
Aight so. In the opening cutscene it mentions the people falling from the stars to the clouds
ye
Oh so the people came with the kingdom?
thanks for the welcomes guys!! yday was intimidating but fascinating,,, theorizing is fun :))
The people came from the stars, landed in the clouds and then they built up a kingdom in the clouds
Basically, I'm guessing that sky kids were stars tht fell through the clouds, and Eden is where they get sacrificed 😢
@chilly thunder haha beware this game is just like fnaf all over agian
The clouds is earth, in a sense
five nights at freddy's
Five Nights At Freddy's
i was too chicken to play that game;; but i appreciate the warning @meager canyon haha
PIZZA PARLOR GAMEKEKEHHWS
The lore rots my brain and I love it
Okay okay back to toebeans' theory
I’m still alive lmao
Aight so I basically developed a timeline of the history of the kingdom of Sky
We don’t know who sent the Sky Kids, but in the opening cutscene we do get information on the origin of the kingdom. So I think going through the realms in order is like tracing the kingdom’s history.
Isle of Dawn is barren and full of boats. Led by the Isle elder, the spirits (who are migrants) landed on the shores of Isle and decided to settle in the clouds.
That’s the start of the kingdom.
Question: if they where migrants where did they originally come from? the ground?
The stars, remember?
Oh okay......
skykids! (and everyone i think)
Were the Elders not the Fallen Stars that were being referred to in the intro
Yeah? Both Sky Kids and spirits came from the stars.
I think the spirits and sky kids are the same, since they generally look the same and use capes
The elders are spirits tho
Ancestors and Skykids are different from one another
Yes yes
oH
from that opening cutsene it said stars made the kingdom the all the ppl where made from megan, and the ppl built civilization from there, not everything was there,
anyway do I continue on-
Nor can Skykids ever grow up into Elders
who are the winged lights then??
That's still just a theory though so take it with a grain of salt
Winged Lights I mean-
@hushed steeple no the prince. Maybe the king
ack i feel bad for bringing it up now,, let's let toebeans continue
yeah
I think that the Elders were the oldest stars and built their own kingdoms
Toebeans cmon
Okay so on to Daylight Prairie. By then, the spirits are being led by the Prairie elder. The kingdom is starting to grow, and workers are needed to sustain it. As well as researchers (like the butterfly charmer and bird call dude) to keep the kingdom going. We can see in the yawn spirit’s workshop some of the items that appear in later areas, so this is possible.
@hushed steeple I go by she/they pronouns btw
It’s chill you didn’t know
In Hidden Forest, the spirits (led by Teth) are starting to realize the dangers of living in the clouds. Which is why all the spirits are angry, sad, chilly, etc. By now we can see things are starting to pick up a little.
When we hit Valley, we see the most structure out of any area. The spirits of that area (led by Sa and Mekh) try to take their minds off the dangers of the world by breeding a sort of competitive spirit in the people, at the same time preparing them for what is to come. The games make the people happy, but they also gauge their abilities.
I think Valley was the height of the kingdom actually
KELEI
@pseudo heart yes??? what did u realize????
OH EDIT I REALIZE WHAT U REALIZE
sqx!!! from tgcf
YES
Osjwnskka wait lore
(sorry will move to ... dm?)
what are the elders headcanon names?
It I understand where u are getting it after all one of the spirits in forest builds something in the trees but do you think they built it all by themselves? The trees? I don't think they have the power to do that even the matirelas to build Each realm, I belive the realms where there and the anscestors built it up, civilized it and lead my the elders of each realm. I'm not very sure who made the realms and the elders and the ancestors or what caused them but that's my theory, take it with a grain of salt.🙃 I also believe the ancestors are almost nothing like the humans (biology wise) when they where made I belive they where made to be fit to live in the clouds. I also believe wasteland was destroyed by forest in a war BC he was on the kings side but that's a whole nother theory
Well I’m not saying Teth built the trees or smth. They kinda influenced the areas around them, hence why the trees have no leaves (they’re all cut down)
They built structures, but natural stuff like trees and grass already existed before they arrived
Who do you think made them?
Idk. But let’s save that for after this train of thought lmao
Okay
Golden Wasteland is next on the list. Carrying the competitive nature left by the previous generation, Tsadi leads the spirits into battle against the growing darkness in an effort to protect their kingdom. But they’re ill-equipped to carry out their task despite all their weapons, hence why almost all the spirits are all afraid, injured, or somehow in a sort of lost state (like the Saluting Captain’s ship going down)
Want the Elder names? You’re in luck! The letters in brackets are Hebrew letters, which the Elders are named after:
Isle: Daleth (ד)
Prairie: Ayin (ע)
Forest: Teth (ט)
Valley: Samekh (ס)
Wasteland: Tsadi (צ)
Vault: Lamed (ל)
Prince: Alef (א)
King: Resh (ר)
PLEASE NOTE: These names have appeared in concept art and are often used when referring to the elders. They are no longer canon, they are fanon.
Thanks @queen locust
Anyway, to Vault! What remained of the kingdom sealed themselves away in a safe place built long ago (likely by Teth’s group), filled with vast amounts of information. So the spirits, led by Lamed, do copious amounts of research to figure out what went wrong and how to stop it, picking up other skills like levitation along the way. Maybe they had a plan in mind, praying for help to come from the stars (and that help ended up being the Sky Kids)
How is Hebrew pronounced? He-be-ru or heb-rew
Oki thanks
So- instead of the civilization coexisting in between each realm, the civilization is progressing through the realms?
Sorry for interrupting u toebeans
please continue
@queen locust Yes!
I feel like the vault wasn't made last I feel like the most important things are there and only the most trusted can enter
Eye of Eden represents the kingdom dying out at long last. Resh and Alef are all that’s left, and they, too, beg the stars for help. They send down a first wave of Sky Kids, who die trying to save Resh and Alef. The winged lights are the light that the Sky Kids carried, scattered around the long-abandoned ruins.
we collect WL tho
only to give it back to the Sky Kids at the end
you mean the fallen?
yes, those are the Sky Kids I’m referring to
Oh I don't really agree with your theory but your are very well onto something here.
The second wave of Sky Kids is where ours came from. It’s too late to save Resh and Alef since they’re already long dead, so our goal is to bring back the Sky Kids we lost.
Yet in finding the spirits, we take them along with us when we go up to Orbit.
Which is why we find the elders in Orbit as well

We gave them enough light to return to the stars (which is why we give them all a flame and why we light the spirits)
though this is not confirmed, I believe the WL are parts of the princes soul, is kingdom was in despair and he was willing to give his soul to the Fallen, but he died before he was able to. So he scattered his soul hoping it gets found by sky kids and used to revive the fallen (his people) but I believe the king wasn't as faithful to his kingdom and all we wanted was power and fame, when his people wanted to basnish him he tured them into the fallen using the corrupt diamonds (the red rocks)
Niceeew
I feel like putting all your theorys up here is more organized then in ur thoughts
I agree! Plus others can take it and build off it
The ancestors were there before the elders I'm pretty sure
Considering the first isle mural shows them worshipping the stars
The fallen star insignia is the same design as the elders symbol
The way I see it, the ancestors (if the seasonal spirits are what you’re referring to) came along with the spirits and elders, but settled elsewhere and did their own thing. They probably worshipped the stars as a reminder of where they came from.
I agree with Caesar actually, the Ancestors are never depicted s having fallen from somewhere
Might just be me but I believe it was only through the influence of those Elders that they've progressed at all
Elders fell, made themselves a home in the clouds- amongst those Ancestors
Now alot of ppl have different theorys on the diamonds, I believe since teth was a blacksmith, she originally found out a way to merge darkness and light to make diamonds. She gave her creation to the king and the king gave it to the rest of the realms to use for doors and such. But then the king got greedy and wanted to extend the power of gems. He used them to make bad things and teth was against him. But the wasteland elder was on his side. (Explains the elder symbol on his shield) I'm not sure who's sides the other elders are though. I'm guessing on teths side (vault not included BC she is making sure the vault information doesnt get into the wrong hands.)
King mad machines to make the diamonds. He gave them to tsadi that explains the pipes. Then about the destruction of wasteland .teth put war against wasteland explaining why you see forests symbol on flags and why some spirits (the one with the horn) sent a signal looking like he sent a signal in war and some ppl looked like in despair BC they where the ppl of wasteland.
But thats just a theory. A GAME THEORY
This took me half an hour 😅 if I continue my entire theory it would take another hour so I'll stop here take it with a grain of salt or 2
There’s so many conclusions we can come to here 
@grim kiln ? Where
I don’t need sleep, I need answers
Just in general. All the different ways you can think about the timeline and dynamics between the elders and spirits.
Hm
you need sleep to get answers
Sorry for the block of text 😂
Lmao no worries- blocks are yummy
:)
It’s easier to bite into a big block of that tasty lore theory
:))))
I actually still just believe that Teth and Tsadi were on the same side of that war- if there ever was one
Lamed being a neutral party I can take though
Yeah
Mostly it has to do with how I've interpreted the symbols they used-
Diamonds being a pro-diamond force and Suns who didn't agree with the use of diamonds
Teth not being on the side who utilizes the things she uses to great effect bugs me a bit idk
The fact that the symbols for forest are in wasteland that is destroyed also that a spirit used A war horn ik there was a war there
I'm not disagreeing with you on the war part- just the part where Teth and Tsadi were on opposing sides
The fact that there where king statues in waste land tells me tsadi was on kings side and since there was evidence that teth was there and part in its destruction I feel like they are on different sides or teth is confused on what side he was on And thought he was in kings side 👀
There’s also evidence he was against him as well
How?
Yep- that too- that Tsadi uses both shields has just been a sus topic
Also, may I ask that u use the normal elder names
It’s confusing for new people and not everyone likes having to memorize concept fanon names jus to understand people
Like wasteland elder
Forest elder
Isle elder etc..
So if they were on opposing sides I at least don't think that the Wasteland Elder would be on the King's side
or at least have stayed on there
It is possible tsadi wanted to talk this out, no violence. And teth thought he was in kings side. Maybe he didn't have sides he just wanted peace
@queen locust yes I think he changed sides I forgot to put it in
In the concept art the wasteland soldiers fought creatures of light
Not sure how much they let in of that
This goes with tsadi's personality too the big but soft personality thing that tsadi has
aight we're gonna have to drop the concept names I think XD
That’s an old concept that isn’t used anymore
War on creatures isn’t a thing In the current story unless it’s a head canon u have
Back when....the prince was such a cruel person 
Well the vault mural kind of connects to that
This is the old concept on the war of creatures
They were innocent of course, but they despised the king’s ideas and...yeah
But now there’s nothing that implies that they still had a war with the creatures
There’s no battle evidence at the graveyard and at the battlefield where the temple is, there’s no creature corpses
There’s a possibility that they fought krill and they were some dark and abnormal creatures that needed to be defeated
But there’s also a possibility that they were created and used as guard dogs, if u pay attention to the krill movement
I'm kind of curious what caused all the destruction in the factory
That reminds me— why is there an empty round platform behind GW elder’s statue? It’s not quite like a diamond press, maybe more reminiscent of Citadel
has anybody wondered what this thing is in forest?? I remember trying to burn it in my moth days 
Rainbow clock, Pacific Time iirc
Which one are u talking about
@sly kestrel the one with the diamond press
If it's the one in the first krill area then it might be just that-
I dunno if one krill is enough to cause that much damage on its own tho- might have had help from the ones in Graveyard
Hello I presume spoilers are allowed here looking athe channel name so I have a question, what do y'all think about this constellation? Like right next to me
The one that looks like three spirits
Leftover from beta if I remember correctly
Are those 3 children or 3 skids? Or they just the same thing and I'm dumb xd
Me too but sadly Oreo's just an easter egg
Kinda like those actual easter eggs in Forest
And the entirety of Office being an easter egg
Oreo is the true supreme god of the sky universe
oreo is megabird
Lmao sorry to disappoint- we love Oreo don't worry XD
Ok here some food for though regarding oreo
Oreo has white and black coloration
It symbolizes the dichotomy that exists currently in the sky universe between light and dark
The pattern is uneven because just like the transfer of light it is not a clean cut process
Oreo is imposter
Amio sus 
why is it that every time I see Amio's profile pic I see the gates of hell
ITS IS DRIVING ME INSANE
IS THE DUNKLES AND MANTAS RELATED???
Dunkles?
sorry i had a stroke there for a second
No I think
lemme find a pic of one real quick
what in Eden is a dunkle
U mean 

?
Dunkin Donuts
Oh a whale lol
Is dunkle the official name or sth?
definitely not lol
Oh lmao
I find it hilarious that this grand thing is nicknamed Dunkle
From Dunkleosteus I persume?
DINKLE?.?
They're natural creatures of sky rather than light or dark creature
Dunkle means dark in german so I figured it was a krill or something
Oh wait slight spelling difference
i made the nickname up
but ya its from dunkleosteus
Maybe it evolved an armored head to ram through buildings
specifically buildings? 
The one in forest completely demolished a building
was it not Orbit-
rip dunkle
rip the building it wrecked
Imagine you're a spirit chilling at home and this whale just busts through the wall
Also wait
The thing that jumps out of the water in sanctuary isn't one of these guys right
you'd probably see it coming a mile away- home has no walls-
ya its different
And no- that was an Elder Manta
I see
aka dunkle-ray
Can someone explain the dog thing? The dog summon that no one seems to be able to summon
It has nothing to do with the lore sjajjdd just a fun egg
its an easter egg lol
memes aside Oreo is an Easter Egg
I think it's one of the devs dogs
that’s adorable
Maybe oreo is the king??
After the king fell from eden they took their remaining power and shifted into a cute dog
Like Gunther from adventure time except replace king with alien and dog with penguin
Either way oreo sadly doesn't have much to do with lore
👌
Wait a sec- if the whales are natural creatures then how are we seeing one rising in Ascencion
Were light creatures not the only creatures we were supposed to be seeing ascend?
/wdym oreo has nothing to with lore hes the narrator!!
Imagine if the narrator at the beginning had a voice..and turned out to be just barking with captions on screen 
/yoooo
/viridi
/i think your onto sth
/the whale could be are dark creature
/but the krill would be unnatural creature
Krill I think are just not gonna be able to go whatsoever
If I were to take into consideration how they're made at least
If they really were born from the mishandling of the elements like we've gone over a few times now then I doubt krill are ever able to ascend
But the whales being a natural creature is sus
I think it's strange that we see a whale instead of say- one of the bigger mantas
Unlike the Ancestors who were natural creatures that we played a hand in letting them ascend, the whale is just really weird to me
or maybe I'm just looking too much into this and Ascension isn't limited to simply light creatures-
i think whale is considered a light creature even though it can hurt us
like it doesnt intentionally hurt us like the krills and crabs. we just happen to bump into them and it cant see us from its fat long body 
Wait the whale can hurt u???
@sly kestrel the one with the diamond press
@ornate olive ahhh I see
May I ask where u got that phrase tho “diamond press”
The office hostess seems so wierd. Who else invites bunch of children to krills?
megan
to me I think the office is the dev’s playground where they host events and stuff
Like that giant robot
I’m still confused where that came from, I thought it was a game reference but there isn’t any tgc game out there with a robot like that
found out they sorta get the light from the creatures
I jus wanna see the king :(
Good news there's propaganda of him all over Wasteland XD
I mean. Like
I need king lore
I am starved of king lore
Acknowledgement in game
Hmmmm
Throughout the whole game , I have seen white mantas and there cosmic forms but I have never seen the white form of cosmic jellos.
Where do you think skykids came from?
The non-cosmic jellyfish metamorphosed into them
Yes
Jokes aside I think the jellyfish are just naturally transparent
Or maybe the non-spirit jellies all died off?
There are bunch of islands faraway from the home area.
couple of them are cutscene islands
/henlo henlo what we be talking about?
is ||eye of eden resets|| before the ts leaves or after?
normally the ts leaves 24 hours after the eden reset
/uh
but with the end of daylight savetime idk if it's gonna be 1 hour more or less... anyway plenty of time to do Eden again
oops sorry for wrong channel
/thats not lore?
yes, sorry I thought I pressed seasonal chat 
My bad! I was sure im in #questions-and-help
Lore behind krills coming out of the toilet krills exist in real life & tgc is trying to warn us 🚽😂
Yeah, so he's not just a random maniac trying to purify water like i thought
That makes me think of other spirits were Also some sort of professionals in their things
/we need more enchatment TSSSSSS
Yeah,
Double benefits, i get to save Candles, and we get to have lore hints
/not for the cosmestics, i dont like some of enchantment
Then maybe the crab Spirit was a zoologist?
No,
Crab whisperer is the one from lightseekers i think
You know, how people try to imitate animals' movements to make them think they're one of them, so that they calm down
Maybe, they were thinking of them as food?, Simce they needed it
Yeah i tried too when I got crab walk emote
/nah
Even the spirit tried amio, 😔 but he too, failed
/did we pollute the water as well as taking?
No
/huh
So,
Nod was a muralist
Snooze was a construction worker?😅
Crab dance was maybe a zoologist or just a random idot
Scare was a farmer or more so, an 'Agriculturist'
Shrug was an alchemist
I think Playfight was a mycologist? Since she was finding mushs.? But idk, her temper quick tho
.
Playfight was an "angrologist"
/well crab walk was messing with play fights mushrooms
Wait, it was the scare who was with playfight iirc
Which makes sense since he was a farmer too, (kind of same field)
you mean the funky spook guy?
Yeah
I think official names of these spirits will give us a lot of lore clues, since their name has their profession
/wait really?
/iirc someone said crab walk was put in time out because the guy was messing so much
/time out in the caves
It was scare, i can remeber, due to that Wizard hat
Well imo crabs were not became hostile cause ancestors took waters
I think it's because of darkness they became hostile... Most likely what happened with crabs... And the water we see got reduced probably because of the darkness?
A theory how the water level got reduced:- we know the time do change before eden accident.. means the world do rotate around its axis.. so maybe after the eden accident the world rotation paused with the weatherand time changing on it.. most likely wasteland got dry summer time so most of waters there got vaporized
Warning :- thousand grammatical mistakes
Credits to nastymold
Poor guy
Maybe that's just the bright lighting of Sanctuary
/wait a second,....would that mean krills are probably white as well?
/since
/gw makes things darker
No
Well, but it won't make white black
Remember the canon name ?
Dark dragon
Krill in office when seen coming out of the toilet is still dark black
I guess this explains it
/amio that short answer plus the pfp is creeping me out
/flip 5 dark creatures tho
Dark creature crabs
Happy Halloween
Not just "dark creatures"
Krill in office when seen coming out of the toilet is still dark black
I guess this explains it
Also, see this jen
/yeaaaaaa tho
What's tsadi doing?
Giving the wisdom of fire trial/orange light but what's that thing to which he's giving it?
Looks like a king statue but that diamond in they middle?
Maybe so,or that might be the vault of knowledge
/a shield perhaps
I think he's just bringing it to the GW temple?
Why do I think it's a lantern
But which lantern??
/the floaty ones in vault?
Hey so you know how Spike's hair covers their missing eye but Hill's doesn't? Do you think Spike is self concious about it?
Maybe hill is slightly better at most athletics and social negociation so spike feels second rate
/that's sounds like angst material ngl
So... Nickname checks out
What's also interesting is Hill's hairstyle frames the missing eye
Whatever happened to the giant diamond at the end of our journey?
After the fallen were restored, they flew towards the diamond, but then the view swapped to us ascending while the castle in the mountain was crumbling down.
@hushed steeple you speak my name , you summon meh
The diamond just
Stays there
We're stuck in an never-ending circle of death and rebirth
Who summoned this mighty ancient being Kairyū?!
that depends on how you see it
rebirth could simply be a game mechanic to replay all over again
or we're meant to rebirth as part of the lore
also you still see the diamond exploding in the cutscene with your saved statues, but then again it's not our objective to stop that diamond from exploding
but rather to just give back our light and send the elders back to orbit
I see..

My dream cape FINALLY
don't you guys think it weird we don't see any bones of the ancestor spirits?

Also, what would happen if the giant out-of-control diamond in eden DID explode?
Or I mean, get destroyed?
what if the ancestors just
poofed into thin air
that was how sublime the destruction was
... that was a bad joke
also you still see the diamond exploding in the cutscene with your saved statues, but then again it's not our objective to stop that diamond from exploding
@solar relic
Wait what
yes
you still see the diamond exploding
hold on
from my first eden run ever wahaha
we don't know, but maybe?
but even if you stop the diamond the whole place would still be in ruins 😔
Right..
just a quick question, does the office NPC (the one with cyan cape) have a name?
I'm asking here bc I guess it's a more specific question and the lore people know eveything
lore people don't know everything actually
we know as much as everyone else
the office npc's name is paul btw LOL
thank you!
wait when did they get named paul?
not sure when but i know ash said it i think
Man i missed corpse talk
Or did I- I just always thought that when we relive an Ancestor's memory we burn their corpse
Somehow they're always kneeling
Kneeling and covered with rocks
Then again there's Tearful Light Miner
Idk if they buried their companions' corpses but they did put down graves
What happens if we gather all the lights?
My friend was able to see the light as well.
@lucid silo I think we can summon candles by a jewel our skykids have on their chest, when a red candle is in their hands the jewel disappears
@quiet willow I did a test while in orbit as I was capeless there so it was easier to see
And god, the skykid after putting the candle away just patting their chest is so cute
Like, grabbing the light to put it inside themselves
I thought we (Jen) already discussed about the candle thing
What happens if you do stop the diamond?
Wdym by stop the diamond
I thought we (Jen) already discussed about the candle thing
@hushed steeple bahaisiwnvwgwh I brought it up yesterday because I asked what the skykids were made of
I guess the rock rain would stop but the place would be completely destroyed
oh look my favorite karasuno member is Here
Hello what are we lore-ing about today
Went to general sky discussion for the first time,,,, so overwhelming

Oh Eden rock rain??

Let’s see.. Corpses of Ancestors..
What happens when you actually stop the giant diamond in eden...
Then the storm in stormlock would disappear ig
Since it's what's causing the winds I think?
And a continuation of the skid having a diamond on their chest where their candle is
Oh I thought we discussed about the ancestor corpses yesterday? What about it specifically??
Since it's what's causing the winds I think?
Yeah, the storm.
Oh I thought we discussed about the ancestor corpses yesterday? What about it specifically??
Or did I- I just always thought that when we relive an Ancestor's memory we burn their corpse
Somehow they're always kneeling
Then again there's Tearful Light Miner
Idk if they buried their companions' corpses but they did put down graves
- ViridiAve
Does it make sense for those to be their physical corpses? In terms of location I mean?
Take the heroic stance spirit for example - that would imply that they either died on top of the mountain after the spirit memory, or that they went back there following the memory and then died there
I mean... The place may be completely destroyed, but it would finally be in a good enough state to rebuild
hm this prompts an interesting thought - did the spirit memories we see perhaps occur directly before whatever apocalyptic event happened in sky?
maybe that's been a suggestion I've missed because I haven't been around in the past few days
I suspect not, especially if you look at the seasonal spirits were doing
hm yes seasonal spirits do complicate that theory, good point
Someone DID say that those memories are the ones that the spirits remember vividly, whether good or bad.
Sanctuary spirits all had memories that involved the quest giver, so it doesn't make sense for all of them to have died immediatly after.

Maybe one day I can be a real ghost! 
omg here too #??#(**?

So our question here is,, when did our ancestors' memory happen?
Skybot drove us a bit wild during early prophecy
What lies in wait for you can only be overcome by ||sneep||
I'm still upset that skybro's prophecy messages weren't lore 
Some of them look like were before tragedy while others are during it.
Especially those in GW
Maybe they just all died at the same time skkeuejwkak
I wonder if any gw memories were after it...

the TS’s name in french is translated as “indifferent alchemist” and i went crazy before realizing french translations aren’t canon 

I’m not the ping culprit 
They may not be cannon, but the way translations are commonly done may mean that they are more of a hint than you may think
Okay so I've thought about the chronology of how things would have to work out if we suppose that the bodies are actually ancestor corpses. I think in order to feasibly fulfil that and not have it just be a weird coincidence where they all died at the same time for some reason, the ancestors must have had advance notice that the whole apocalypse thing was coming. If they already knew that they were doomed, perhaps they each then returned to the location of their strongest memory for their final moments, and that's why their corpses are located near the memories we see... maybe.
That's the conclusion I see as reasonable if we assume that the bodies are for sure their physical corpses
Usually translators are given the terms and a context that goes along with it. This helps prevent accidental translations that suggest someone ate a block rather than an apple (spanish for apple and Spanish for block are apparently the same thing?)
So... That means that however TGC described the spirit in their translation documentation led to each of the spirits translated names. In theory, we may be able to take the common threads between the translations to figure out what TGC told the translators about the spirits.
translator is mindless
But I mean these aren't crazy texts they're translating
It should just be a simple case of adjective and a noun
never mind I’m just kidding 
I wouldn't think you'd need context to translate indifferent alchemist
The shorter the text, the longer the context
u know in CN version the translation is sometimes mindless
The shorter the text, the longer the context
@short owl I don't see how that makes any sense
Besides they literally give us the memory of the alchemist
If we never saw any memories then maybe you'd give the translators some context
But in this case it's self contained within each memory
When you have a nice long sentance, you can clear up inconsistencies by looking at the rest of the sentance. But if I were to ask you to translate "date", you would need me to tell you if I mean the noun or the verb. And if I ment the fruit, then you would REALLY want that context text
Yeah but that doesn't apply in his case
Were given the person and were given the memory
And how do you know this?
I have something completely different that needs to be prepared for translation
So I have at least experienced one way of doing it
That doesn't matter though
Regardless of how they tell the translators
You're not going to name it krill slayer or something
I don't understand, is there a difference in the translations? Brick said that it translates in french as "indifferent alchemist", and that's the name I see too... did I miss something 
That's what I see as well
Same?
Tgc isn't going to go around letting translators confuse the playerbase
Is it different for others??
Oh, brick's version of sky is in french
I suppose he just isn't aware that that's also the english name
?
you have to change your phone language
if you want to be safe on the most "accurate" translations use the chinese/japanese languages since they are done in-house
other languages may have also gotten explanations and contexts for translations in sky but even so, there have been localisation improvements in patched for few of the languages that have been done outside office
hiya res 
yo nice name dropman 
lol thanks, likewise!
Ok yeah the Chinese and german translations are all the same
I think that when we're talking about this particular translation it's also pretty important that we use accurate wording, because 'indifferent' is something we know to have a deeper meaning in the concepts
The Chinese term they used seemed more akin to cold
Like giving the cold shoulder type
But then again my mandarin is a bit rusty
the shrug does kinda give off a feel of "eh, whatever!" or "huh, why should i care?"
yes indeed, it might not be relevant in the game as we know it today (it could just be the word 'indifferent' in a literal sense), but it's still perhaps something to keep in mind just in case it's significant

I had a theory that the Twins where one person but they where separated
Please ignore, if you wanna
I had a theory that the Twins where one person but they where separated
Please ignore, if you wanna
@hushed steeple anything to support that theory?
in one of the japanese livestreams it mentions that the twins have always been twins though
But it is strange that they always refer to the twins as one person
Unless the elder name is more of a title
Maybe they're the same person in two different bodies?
And both of them share it
Yeah
iirc they were conjoined, I think I remember there being images showing that each of them has half prosthetic limbs?
They have a prosthetic arm
Dang the elders got some good surgeons
And I noticed that they have one eye
Ok what are y'all loreing about

elder twins

i think the canon doc got updated it doesn't say the twins have always been twins anymore
i guess it's a translation error? (as in the error is that the twins have always been twins)
That suggests they were born
Elder twins having prosthetic limbs?
The Twins eyes, its like theyre separated....
I don't make sence so I go scroll up and read
But the hairstyle, imagine their hairstyle fused
#lore-discussion-spoilers message here is the prosthetic thing, from Raf
#lore-discussion-spoilers message and more from tebkanlo
OMG
Yes, like that
Thanks
I noticed that
Idk if it's just my phone but whenever I click links like that nothing happens
i personally think that megan decided to give them half of a pair
like
maybe they have one eye each, one working arm each
why? i think megan wanted them to cooperate because they probably fight a lot so they have to rely on each other
Is it confirmed that's a prosthetic?
not confirmed in the doc at least
It looks like a prosthetic arm.
it just looks very prosthetic-like
megan split the valley elder into twins

Seems a bit direct
the reason is what i’m interested in
If Megan can do that why not just fly down and pick up all the light
Wait, have you ever noticed the eggs in Forest?
i see as more of a 2-in-1 pack kinda thing, like you have two juice boxes sold as one pack
get your 2-in-1 elder pack at just 99.99 sky dollars today
those are literally easter eggs
Yes
I know the eggs
about that translation thing from the lore doc, I'm relying on google to translate for me but it says in the livestream "they are twins in the first place", so I would interpret that as meaning they were always twins
But the eggs tho, whats in those?
My japanese is very rudimentary though so idk
Easter bunnies

we can ask mochi if we ever see them around for clarification on the translations
so question is, who’s the eagle
The dead bird in valley?
we know one thing at least, the Dawn elder was an eagle at first
just this
no isle elder was actually a vulture haha
lol i though that Teth was saving them for snacks But,an Eagle in a rainy forest? The Eagle be dead now
i haven’t found any connection between these things
might have gotten inspiration from sky burials in tibetan culture 
isle elder was what now?
Vulture? That explains the dessert
Teth snacc, teth hammer, teth scary- but teth pretty
Lol you should see the old wasteland elder design
Daleth
That's some nightmare fuel
Half corrupted
Oh, the concepts
lol I was real confused for a second there
I heard that they planned the Wasteland cutscene that he will sacrifice himself to the krills
u can have a look on 7 days of Sky in twitter
Res u fast
Wait what-
yeah wasteland elder was going to sacrifice themselves to the darkness in order for skids to advance, but that was in concept art, didn't make it to pre-global in the end though it would have been great angst potential and would rip my heart out
Vulture
Isle vulture looks like it eats skids for breakfast
OMG
he may be a guide for kids
I’m back!
Vulture granpa lays eggs?
Vulture granpa lays eggs?
@junior robin how can Daleth lay eggs-
Ok nope those eggs ain't vultures
Creatures of light are born from orbit
idk if this helps but
about the tibetan burial thing i was wondering if that's the inspiration for isle's concept art version vulture. jhator in tibet is when bodies are left to be eaten by animals, particularly vultures as a sort of 'mercy'. said that the vultures will carry up the body souls up into the sky (and maybe into heaven/whatever equivalent of an afterlife up in the sky). i wonder if that's what isle elder was supposed to be doing at first?
If u mean those eggs in forest ... those are literally Easter egg and not connected to lore
Those were for a beta quest named "visit the eagle nest in forest"
Note:- there's no eagle in sky.. not in present nor was in past..
Oh thank you
The whale probably kamikazied the building
Probably teth's friend that whale was (according to Twitter post of sky concept doc)
Ohhh
Teth being friends with a whale... Imagine a crying Teth
Well, i gtg
See ya!
She suffers a lot lol
Teth: angsty elder
Bye ~
Concept
Feel like the dead whale in the forest is a bit too small
The one in the hidden place though might be
That could explain why it's still alive
It's a concept art ..we don't know which whale exactly it's referring
More of Twitter concept art y'all probably already seen this maybe-
Mmm i mean the next image of that depict teth on the whale tho
Oh wait
What animal does the skeleton near forest temple belong to?
Whale
Turtle head whale 🐋
What if
That whale skeleton was Teth's whale? 
I forget what u call it
Aye this cropped pic.. teth is riding on the whale
Indeed

AlsoTeth was a Lynx

9 tail
You got what i mean
Ok im back whats happening 
Yes
Probably
Also lads
Do you think the trials depict each realms condition?
Water trial depict Forest condition with darkness water. Earth Trial depict Prairie with floating islands and stones. Air trial depict Valley with Ice platforms and winds
@junior robin yep
Ya 4 in front.. and 5 in back
I have 24 hearts left to complete that constellation and get that hair-
Oh wow
Lynx
Issa cute- cat

i imagine teth lynx version with a smug look on her face
9 tailed Elder Fox Teth. Now this is getting outta hand-
Maybe the trials already existed
As longa s the elements existed
Think about this. Elements exist, and to gain it one need to go through difficulties to proof that they are worthy enough to handle the elements
Doesnt taht mean the trials already existed since elements existed too?
so each trial connects with a realm?
i’m quite confused
maybe all the puzzles will be solved after the fire trial
Mmmm
Think of its like the trials and the elements already exist long long before the stars fell.
The trials are located on pocket dimensions where each elements stored and influence those pocket dimension into the elements liking (air got ice and wind, water is archiphelago style, earth is floating rocks, fire is inside a dark sphere)
So when the elders got the elements, those elements influence each elder realms
From the trailers fire trial looks questionable
||Fire trial is in fire
||
Water influence Forest as rain, Earth influence Prairie as floating islands, Air influence Valley as ice and wind, and Fire (probably) influence Wasteland as Ooze and darkness creatures
Trial of fire is not out in live yet ?
Yeh
Im writing this based on teh teaser
Since ita seems fire trial will take place inside a dark sphere
Ok fair enough
Also its kinda fit with how we enter wasteland btw
fire, water, ice and air are the 4 basic elements while the light is the whole world
Of the elements, only fire produces light
Air produce cold, fire produce warmth
Mmm maybe
Air and water produce cold. Fire and earth produce warmth?
Air allows light to pass through. Water resists it, and earth straight up blocks it
Mmm maybe
Air and qater produce cold. Fire and earth produce warmth?
@bitter shale lava, yes
~~i learned it from Minecraft ~~
the Sunset was a city located in storm mountains
Ooor maybe, what if valley is naturally frozen, but air element worsen the weather?
It's surmised air brought wind which was used in the races
The earth element brought plant life to prairie
Naturally frozen in like always snowy and cold, not like Arandelle after Elsa went mental
one of the most confusing things is skykids could breath under the ice lake
I believe skid didnt even need to breath-
True considering you go to orbit
Like man
If we did breath, how we can survive in orbit-
Indeed
And the Space ship too
that would depend on whether you think of orbit as literal space or a spiritual sort of afterlife
Fire burned down the woods of gw
@ornate olive that reminds me of Charcoal in the Rain
We only died when our light extinguished by darkness
And for a more disturbing thought, you'd risk lighting your lungs on fire every time you pulled a candle out
Other than that nothing can kill us
@ornate olive i mean, the red candle is our heart
In literal way
||Megan: My kids, why’re you so stubborn to eden?||
My question is why we can pull our candles out safely while IN the water
Proof? You remember taht ecah skid have light dot on their chest. It dissapeared when skid pull out their red candle
How is the Hide 'n' Seek Pioneer so tall? She has the chibi mask
Because its their chibi size
Omg she like the tallest spirit of then all
Might be taller than the elders 
Yeah!
Out sizing both the prophecy spirit and Teth
it has been foretold that @short owl will seek a deeper understanding... AND FAIL 
Even taller than krills
king is the tallest 
snorp! 
maybe we need more concepts about prophecy
Yes
