Everyone else: sleds would be fun
Me: (thinking how to connect my theory into others) So if wasteland is Rome maybe Forest would be Carthage because of the Punic Wars
I still cant wrap my head around lamed and teth being related
tbf all the elders could be related if you want to think that way
one big happy (?) family

@faint olive Scratch that the geography is out of wack
Just starting to realize that most of the realms are floating island
I still cant wrap my head around lamed and teth being related
Same, I'm trying to make it work, but it's just so obscure for the moment
We really don't have any information besides "they are related"
maybe it’s something that got phrased weird? like they do something similar and that’s why their masks are similar..? im reaching lol
Maybe lol
That their cutscenes both involved a flame being used on a diamond is sus
true
Heck they both have diamonds in the cutscenes
vault and forest?
maybe forest sent that diamond to vault that they hand you to set on fire
Yeye that's what I was thinking
No
WAIT WHAT
tsadi? the gw elder?
War-wise- probably
yeh
It was forest and vault
oh
right?
No, it's Teth and Lamed
But not Vault and Forest
huh.... lemme check again-
They could be related in some other sense
That one
the diamond has something to do with this probs
I think it might’ve been a confusion abt the theory that forest and wasteland went to war with the forest and vault being related
Yyyyep- anyway
Because none of the elders are described as being dead and that their actions have an effect in the waking world, it's possible that Forest Elder's diamond is the same one as Vault Elder's diamond
« The masks of forest and vault elders look similar because they are related »
ah
well
i think i have misread it
she just beamed it up to fly through the outside of time and space to get to vault
lmao
she sent it to vault NASA
vault is nasa

Hello friends
Isnt there a space day in the office?
hi!
Heyo
Get the lore moff docccc
@rose gorge thanks
we connect the dots
Those cookies are baked with chaos and probably the remnants of skykids
I'm not prepared
Maybe even a hint of fried shrimp
Wait does any have the lore moff doc
Hello new Lore Moff!
Read this short document to get started! Once you’ve read this, check out pins for more information. 
https://docs.google.com/document/d/18B1-SKG3toG0oH0VhOWC5o-cG9u0STAN92QvmbhTDto/edit
By brick
Where are you from
Oh
All
the moon
read the rules
The ground
Thank god someone got it
we are not allowed to tell personal info
i went N y o o m
Oof
It's not personal it's just name
n y Ö Ö m
Of place of world
we already have space station in game anyway
Which is located of earth
bold to assume everyone here hails from earth chinmay
@rose gorge yeah
I don't think that the space station is canon
Lol
pretty sure office isnt anything to do with lore
Still NASAAAA
I support isro

bruh hang on, this isn't what the prophecy foretold!!
that’s the Indian space exploration place isn’t it
ANYWHO- could Vault elder and Forest elder be related in some other sense other than that?
uhhh maybe?
@rose gorge indian space research organisation
I guess they dress kind of similar??? question marks???
I think it's funny; we usually have someone like Brick that is all professional and has the lore doc and everything all prepared. But today it's just the idiots on duty trying to find it
💔

Damn
Oof, I'm just joking



i am the idiot on duty 😄‼

Lmao relax I'm on the same boat- professional idiot here-

@queen locust lol
anywyas
but we do need to get back to lore before the mods come
I'm just a lurker that occasionally pops out
Yeah let's get back on topic
alright
Anyways, lets go to an easier topic which I have no idea
the eden elder is very interesting
ok
that is not a simple topic but go on
oh
Isn't he the King?
nvm then
Yeah oof
ye
yeah he is the king
Go onnnn
dont be shy Talk abt the eden elder 
What about King?
Is this a symbol of his?
Yes
yep
Okay cool
That and the propaganda scattered across Wasteland lmao
Ye you can see them scattered all over gw
Also I went through wasteland and I didn't realize how many king statues there are until now
eh
lmao
oh my
wait that thing on the way to social space was a statue too-
Yep
seems like it idk
I had to go back and check
I just thought it was a random thing from the top of a building
there's some in every realm
what if the king wanted to be the light ? king's symbol is pretty similar to
which is a symbol for the light isn't it ?
or is it the symbol for our light ? and if so ,,,, skid = king theory ??

I thought it looked more like the Prince's symbol but ok
Been told it was the Prince's symbol in place of the King's but then again
True
Theorizing king’s greed got em and tried to be the Light but overloaded power diamondo go boom
Idk though
I've also been told they're the same person so-
lore chat is whack sometimes I love it
Yeah, the information on both of them is kind of vague
I think they’re two differ people
imo the prophets r sent by megan and megan is the light so
Btw if anyone wants me to get screenshots I can get them
Well prince is about the size of a skid and king being 17’
Well we can't be so sure that they were sent by Megan specifically just yet
there's also the king mech theory
Megan isn't really confirmed, are they?
well , they are prophets , they must be picked / connected w megan
Megan isnt really confirmed I think, not sure
megan is just vibing
Hav you watched the end credits to the very end
i think so ? idk Bro,,,
ah alright
Megan is the credits
Megan is confirmed i think since they do actually appear once
They appear at ||office (well, going to office) and orbit|| if I remember
office , orbit , and end credits
But I dont know, I have horrible memory
There is a chance that we just saw some light that the devs put in the credits because they thought it looked cool and went "hey that might be a god"
No need to spoiler tag fam
You mean the rebirth cycle concept at the portal to office?
Hey that might be a bird
lmao
You mean the rebirth cycle concept at the portal to office?
yeah
We're like the Greeks seeing a line of stars in the sky and calling it a goat
random but my memory is bad what does the forest constellation form again
kind off, the camera view is a bit small (well, for me)
Anvil
@rose gorge hammer and anvil
It's a hammer and an anvil
thanks
Aren't the sky kids just a reference from beta?
Tbh, looks more like many stars just at one place together,
Like the milky way band
indeed
Wait what were they suppose to do?
But yeah, it does form the megan shape
Ye
other than beta leftover, idk much
Ohhh ok
pics i stole
I-
eheee thats my pfp

That sure doens't look like 'a creature' (the 2nd one)
More like a collection of stars
wait @sly kestrel where did you get that
@wispy cedar get what
yeah haha 😳
dont forget this uwu
Where did we get that it was a god?
It’s a difficult concept that is sort of put out of context but
we really saw a bird creature and went "mmmmmff God,, "
It does have the megabird in it
birds are above all else
Wasn’t a bird at all actually
Have the devs confirmed or at least acknowledged it's existence?
Nice
Currently there’s no specific proof of it in the current game
Would make sense if she was tho
Its megabird, since it's GINORMOUS and looks, like a birb
So we literally just went 'yeah we can make it a religion-'
No
ah also have you guys went to fire trial yet
What ppl say about megabird is wayyy out of context sometimes, but theories are theories
"We can make a religion out of-" "no, don't"
tehre is a very interesting cutscene when you attempt to got there
i haven't gone on Sky in days so
But the fire trial isnt out yet?
better update your game first
AHHHHHH
Flos don’t spoil it, I don’t think the fire trial is out
yeah but the door already can be opened
Wait, fire trial is 6 days ahead ,
Only teh door
I wonder what the fire trial will bring
ONLY THE DOOR
Like the drawings
Ajdmdfmdmss
NOT THE TRIAL
smirks in beta
DONT LOOK AT THE DOOR EITHER
ONLY THE D O O R

Good
But why- it's a door
altho if you attempt to interact with the barrier.... you will get a very interesting cutscene
Wait so i dont have to keep oobing to the fire trial enterance room
altho if you attempt to interact with the barrier.... you will get a very interesting cutscene
@bitter shale fr?
@fast jasper oob the barrier instead
Technically u weren’t supposed to oob there in the first place....
wait what barrier
No i mean the door bit not the barrier
Bringing it out again, What's tsadi doing with the orange/red light or whatever wisdom we get from fire trail
im in the middle of class rn cant open sky
Maybe it’s time u guys start talking about lore rather than breaking into the fire trial and getting in earlier than everyone else 🤔
that's a pretty manra
Gonna go update my gamee
we cant played the fire trial for now lmao, we can only access teh door to its meditation spot
@broken basin 
forget the child ever existed
i can't read that and not laugh
Like, at first, it wasn't there,then they put it in an update, and in this one, they took it back away
also lamed is here now yeeee
Looks like lamed's climbing the vault,
Could be an accidental error they wanted to fix
Leaked murals
Looks like lamed's climbing the vault,
i cant help but imagine Lamed actually climbing the vault building in spiderman style-
the visual image that provided to me
i-
it was suppose to be a suprise
Vault doesn't look like it even exists yet- like Eden
the elders but they’re superheroes
they might build the temples and the castle after they retrieve all the elements
I mean, She's just climbing that cloud mountain, but, climbing ☁️ mountain?
Forest Mom is Thor confirmed-
lmao
i love that
Forest mama used those hammer and anvil to make power diamonds , not to beat up the King. So, she maynt be thor😔
Awww
just because she used it for that doesn’t mean she can’t totally go and give the king blunt force trauma
But her hammer does return to her like that
forest beating up the king 2k20
lmaoooo
Anywho- I think Vault Mama's climbing the mountain to build the Vault along with Eden
what Tsadi would be then
Anywho- I think Vault Mama's climbing the mountain to build the Vault along with Eden
spiderman style

Well, looks like they all are just exploring the empty kingdom and figuring out stuff
vault with spidey sense
Surely they'd need somewhere to record all the stuff they've been figuring out
indeed
Like, Prairie elder looks like he's making a building, which may or maynt be the praire temple, but idk,
Technically all murals are like that
Also, he's using the earth element to make a building, which involves stones and rocks, so, does that make sense?
Like, Prairie elder looks like he's making a building, which may or maynt be the praire temple, but idk,
good catch! only Ayin that depicted build the temple in the mural
The key to understanding the story of a mural is by understanding the message of the picture, rather than judging it without meaning
I still am not sure if that's supposed to represent the Prairie temple, but many people say that here.
In the bigger picture, it all looks like they're just starting with the exploration and stuff, and probably trying to make a civilization?
why is golden wasteland called golden wasteland if the entire map is green
Also flos
May I ask that u stop using the old concept names, it was kindly asked a few times, even by ktjn but the main point is that those names cause confusion to new players and it’s better to say “realm elder” instead
Isle elder, forest elder, etc
probably
makes sense if prairie elder is the first to build their temple because, well, earth element is very helpful to building stuff
ah-
okay then 
It may have been Golden once- just like how it wasn't a Wasteland once
It was a huge industrial area once
green wasteland-
but it's a wasteland now so why isnt it golden now-
There were some spots of gold but I think “gold” was used to represent how great they intended the place to be
Overall, the whole place was jus an industrial area that went horribly wrong with lots of different events
Yeah, also, they used some golden pots to transport stuff instead of normal stone pots.
That’s....
Idk, of that contributes anything for the name, but that's that
Those aren’t actually pots
alao some road there have gold paving as well
Those are...what I call batteries for the diamond factory at wasteland
It’s at the first krill area
what are those then? diamond molds?
The cargo ship was delivering these to that factory
huh... interesting
Ehhh I’m not sure on the details
But they were used for the factory
Diamond carriers, golden carriers, batteries, call em whatever u want
Ehmm may I say something about the golden name.... I just think that, anybody that lived in EDEN before Boom called it as Golden Valley... One it is Golden valley and turn to be separated because of the polluted water..... Why it called as golden?
Because the sun reflecting the sand and snow?
But I do kno they aren’t pots
Well, what i think is that
When , they made the industrial area, things mustve got better for them, they got a lot of Power diamonds and stuff to use.
And it was a start of a new golden era
I’m pretty sure they intended that to happen but it never did
Their mindset of “more diamonds more power” is kinda what corrupted everything
Hungry for power
My head canon anyway
It revolves around the king too but
When u rlly think about it, the ppl were sort of to blame too
Some may have rebelled but most followed him
But, weren't they all doing it since the King forced them, and ofc, he was a king, not a normal person
Whether he forced them or not is unclear
Based on who he is I think.....he sort of told them too and they listened bc they longed for a better kingdom as well
I mean, his mural shows that he had tons of followers
But some of them definitely woulve thought about the light creatures they were sacrificing?
Yeah
Ash told me that the scribbled lines on the people at the bottom often refer to “many people” rather than the exact count
And the fact that they are all bowing down and putting their hands up looks pretty clear that they were his followers
But are you sure that guy is swallowing it... Not deliver it to the sky?
I didn’t say anything about that orb
I do know it represents something tho
Just weird to swallow something(even we know this story were related to apple story)
Could be like Adam and Eve with the Bible version of eden and the king eating the apple leading to the destruction of Eden could be related to how Adam and Eve are the apple which lead destruction to the garden
But personally I don’t have a clear theory
Well, his mouth is wide open, and he has an orb right in front of it,
That's what made me immediately think he's tryna swallow it
I-
No I'm gonna swallow it
It could be representing the power he is holding or the darkstone or anything
Possiblitites are endless
he screm
Hahahahahahah
Imagine king roaring and instead a cat meow comes out
o r b
But isn't the kingdom just a story of hubris? They wanted more and more power and it eventually led to their downfall
Wow they really are the greeks
Yeshhh
That's one way of viewing it

Just like atlantean
Wellz it's like a general idea,
More power you get, more greedier you become, more close the end comes
Cool
Its prelude feels like the cautionary tale in Journey kinda-
Yeah
Well, it feels like journey since the devs are same, and they had a similar idea with this too
But the actual lore is quite different and unseen
References, details, designs, similarities, YES
Same story, NO
Imma go to bed, but I'll see you around tomorrow! Bye!
Sleep well, waves !
Night Waves

King says rawr
Awwww
Emmm but my sister said that 'rawr' is dinosaur language to say 'I love you'
She saw that in ig
aww
rawr xd
Rawr xD uwu
khjhhbjvufjchchcjc
This chat goes brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrshstshtshrshsrhsrsgsrsvsrhsrsgsrsgsrsgsrgsrsgsrsgsrsgsrsgsrgsr
Its kalm now
|-o;; havent been here for a while now I think about it
Ah looks like I finally got the chance to talk about some spirits/ancestors theories ( well more like questions really )
hmm ... where to begin ...
Do the Prophets ( and their students??? ) ever visit the small long cave with the three glowing orbs. I mean, if they do, what would their thoughts about those glowing things be and do they ever had connections with the Lightseekers and the Enchanters ( as I like to call them lmao ) ??
👀 I mean considering the small cave with the three orbs correlated to the Lightseeker, what kind of thoughts do the Prophets and the Lightseekers had upon each other?
Would be interesting if there’s certain agendas between the Prophets and other ancestors if thinking about it. I mean who knows, maybe some ancestors who heard of the stuffs from the Prophets may thought they’re crazy, and hence having agenda against their prophecies/beliefs
hmm but that’s just a random thought that’s recently caught my interest, since we still don’t have the solid evidence of tensions between various ancestors.
Ah gtg my phone about to run out of battery but that’s just my today’s short talk about spirit/ancestors stuff lmao

I'm not sure if its been asked before but why are the trees in Forest made of stone? Are they like, fossilized wood? but they wood have retained their colour, and before that, would have probably deteriorated because of the rain.
Well, I heard beta stuff’s gotta go to beta channels since some of us still doesn’t have access to fire trial yet
hey.... folks....
we need scientific names for the sacrifice bird and the super charge mushroom!
the mushroom`s genus is tricholoma
and the bird`s genus is pseudochelidon
the dead bird from the Valley Citadel 👀
Ouhhhhh
and for the mushrooms , those glowing light fungus from the Hidden Forest?
that or the one from the Forgotten Ark in Wasteland?
But I think mostly from the Hidden Forest
You mean the one we burn
Oh no, the ones you see in the Hidden Forest, where you see these arched like fungus that allows you to float above it and recharge your lights!
Ouhhh that one the light fungus just like jellyfish structure?
something like that! but they're the one thats attached to the trees in the forest
But you know what that scientific name for super charge mushroom actually is a bird....
wut?
oh? 👀
Ehhh no I mean that bird
so far we have these
Hehehehehehheeh
ok so what adjective can we use to describe the super fast charging mushroom in caverns?
anyone?
@sand abyss, @median stone ...
Explosive charger?
no like a single word
Am I wrong my English is bad
hmm 
Ouh
Can you give one example for that
google does that for us
luminous?
like red, dark, tall, big, slow, stuff like that
Ouh
srry skymii we have too many species named lux...
I love luminous
anything else?
that's about it for me 
sacrificial?
Yes sure what you think suit it, actually I can't help much on this adjective as my English is not advanced yet
u could use the google translator to translate words from your language into english...
How about sacrificious
thats wut i do for latin
Sacrificio pseudochelidon?
the genus comes first
Ahh okay sorry for that
i was thinking more like anclabris or dapalis
/naming things again?
yup
the valley sacrificial bird and the super charger mushroom
i realized we hadnt done those yet
Mortus avium?
I did that using Google translate to latin
Wait no please don't take this one
yup
it literally means dead bird lol
we dont want to name it that
plus
pseudochelidon comes first
then the other stuff
Aves hostias?
pseudochelidon comes first...
Ahhh sorryyy
and hostias apparently means holy bread now...
ok we got sacrificio, anclabris, and dapalis
wut dya want
ok pseudochelidon dapalis it is
That is sanctus panem
@median stone wut does that mean?
/hey guys iss the water trial mural fixed?
/for elders' sake kokichi chat's been dead way before i got here
lmao
Hm impresif the pic looked fine so I’ve been looking at this for a while and wonder what is their purpose on being there tho
/ah kadal thats king propaganda
Ahh interesting
But that makes me wonder was there something underneath
Like a building or some sort
/yea how do these things stand anyways?
I thought it was Prince propaganda- since it's similar to the Prince's mask
/well i say prince and king are the same person, but feel free to say otherwise
oh ok
Anyone here had the origin of sky story?
look, reika already confirmed that Citadel was actually a very high tower and our current citadel is actually just a peak of it
maybe its teh same thing with other realms too
including those king porpagandas on prairie's cloud tunnel
also doesnt the shillouette lookin kinda weird
arent the center part of the castle suppose to be broken down or something
or is it what left from the castle?
/okay how did the castle got separated from there
Prolly, the giant diamond
explosion, maybe
also notice the sun halo
its the same halo like WL
quite interesting isnt?
is eden diamond an accumulation of WLs?
/where is it coming from? orbit?
...not from orbit imo, i think its from underneath the floating castle
yeah the halo is around the whole of eden (base eden/castle base + floating castle)
The halo is there just to make players go to it
But it could be the Diamond? It could also be the Light, but in a different angle so it looks like it's in the Mountain
Light/Orbit
Also, hai
/ah chat's been quite. im just waiting till me get fire trial out
In 6 days
6 days till we enter a dark mass
... Hey why is the water trial the only one where we AVOIDED the element in questionm
the water there could be like the wasteland water or something? eh...i don’t really know
cold water
/the water in the ice rink isnt cold then????. its under ice????

now this is confusing-
we are clearly shivering under the rain
but we didnt feel cold in ice rink water????
specialw ater 😏😏
The halo is because the destroyed castle and the big diamond shine a lot, you can see it just by standing next to it
indeed
also im curious about one thing, can anyoen see the remains of the castle when in eye of eden?
@wind kraken most probably since it’s the trial of a dead teacher, the spirit, that same being makes the water kill you so you complete the trial as you should. It’s the spirits doing
@bitter shale no, but eden it’s full of statues and constructions, we might be in a part of the castle in the last eden level
@bitter shale that’s of course on of all the animals and creatures we see. Most probably a kind of bone whale
It looks so pretty, is such an incredible castle
ice cream
Disney land
Ice cream
Demn i got voted out-
Ow
disneyland ftw
orbit is way higher
the castle is like the "midpoint" (idk another term for it) in the ascent to orbit
Newbie to the lore, but maybe they tried to get the elders/stars back up in the sky but they opened a portal to eden instead, idk..
maybe they used the eden diamond and the light from it to go back to orbit 
There are pipes in eden, what would they have been used for?
I still wonder what was that area used for before it became what we now know, how did that castle structure get into orbit or near orbit
Eden before the diamond got exploded
That floating castle you mean? Britannic?
Probably because of shock waves
I don’t think so
They always appear like there was a great battle
So most probably the eden diamond appeared there by itself and corrupt the land
Newbie to the lore, but maybe they tried to get the elders/stars back up in the sky but they opened a portal to eden instead, idk..
@fickle viper Eden has always existed,, tho not the way it is right now, it used to be a kingdom(?) Castle (?) Like the others were
Yeah, it’s destroyed just now
Oh to see an eden cinematic before the cathasptrophe
Eden castle cutscene,, I want to see it in its glory 
I wonder whatever destroyed the area of eden, also affected the area of the golden wasteland, but if that’s true, then why wasn’t the vault of knowledge affected.
Maybe the diamond has always existed though? Maybe like,, a normal corrupt-free diamond?
Serving the purpose as a gateway to orbit?
Until maybe people did whacky stuff and it went kaBOOM
That makes sense
All realms are destroyed if you look carefully to the building . Only vault was safe cause it was inside the eden mountain .. i think
vault might have been very protected since it's pretty much where a lot of info was stored
Probably
If at one point, every part of the game had people living there, then some catastrophic event happened, (wiping out most if not all the population in the area) what could have been that event that lead to the abandonment of the areas
Vault was damaged pretty heavily tho. The higher parts may be destroyed but hidden by the projections, and the lower parts have broken floors, sand all over, leaks, and giant holes in the walls
mhm
One wall even lost it's corperality
oh also i just noticed the prophet's souls have color based on their element
Wait what i never noticed
Is anyone else really bothered that our skykids are stuck ||in a constant cycle of returning and losing CoL?|| Like it makes me sad to not see any lasting change. Why do they go on? Why don't things get better in ||Eden|| like they do in Ark or Sanctuary?
No need to spoil here!
And tbh, I feel the same way. It's almost disheartening.
I think it's more of a game design, but in lore theory, it's probably supposed to represent just that. Eternal life and death, something we can't fix because nothing is ever "truly" fixed, considering the state of the Elders and whatnot.
It's kind of sad, tbh.
It is... But if I may offer an alternative: perhaps the cycle isn't Eternal. Perhaps it's the cycle that allows the clouds to part and seasons to happen
If this is true, then the work we do isn't endless, just really long
If they need more of the Sky Kingdom restored before they can help themselves, they would likely have a system (ascended candles) that encourages working with the ancestors and gets us invested in restoring the world (seasons)
It would be difficult for us to tell how much we are doing because we lack a map of the kingdom or a checklist of things that need to be done. But that doesn't mean there isn't a task list that we are in fact making progress on - just that we can't see the task list.
There are two years of content planned right now, but I doubt fixing Eden is gonna happen in this chapter. So might I propose a thought that restoring Horizon (land of Sky. I find the name funny) could easily be a 10 or 20 year task. A completable one, but one that we won't see until a later chapter.
@pseudo heart yess
Well, maybe they will include it in some moment whyamiwillow?. Anyhow every new season brings up the lore
Anyhow that sounds great, the concept of millions and millions of spirits of light triying to recover a corrupted land is intersting, pretty and really useful
I don’t bealive they abandoned @true galleon most probably they all died
But orbit is not a place, orbit its like the other side, the mere world apart from físical, not a place
They’ve updated the cave in latest patch, the monolith engravings are now lit
Also, the murals are a lot brighter
Oh, nice!
I noticed my last time through eden that one of the pipes is acting as a passage for creatures of light. Like they're flying into it going toward eden. I thought pipes were all for moving sludge away, but maybe some are supply lines.
Makes sense. Usually where pipes go out, there are pipes that go in
So...where are the pipes delivering the critters? And where would they be going if there were no pipe?
Well someone had a theory about it a while ago but
It’s quite dark
But one of the “kind” theories about it is that creatures of light used that pipe as a safe passage to orbit
i wanna read the dark one
I wanna read it too
Yes let us read it
Me too, honestly
My theory regarding the pipelines; they were used as supply chains for the energy crystals by channeling/extracting the inner light from living creatures. Think of how industrialization brought manufacturing to a whole new level.
So...where are the pipes delivering the critters? And where would they be going if there were no pipe?"
I imagine that he pipes are related to the darkness creatures - mainly krill since crabs are just corrupted.
The question is: were the pipes added before or after the destruction of GW?
Did they contribute to the fall, or were they a byproduct of the light leaving the land?
I'm pretty sure they're made before, and contribute to the fall.
Since the pipes are primarily associated with waste and industrial activities, which seemed to be carried out extensively in wasteland.
Do you think that is possible for krill to onece have been good? I believe that krill (and crabs) were filled with light and joy, like mantas and birds. But as disagreements over darkness and light started to split the kingdom of sky apart, and as wasteland became poisoned with evil and darkness, the krill and crabs were possessed by evil and darkness. They started to turn, attacking a kid here and there... until they became so changed that they were deadly. Sadly no light krill remain, and only two kind hearted crabs live in sky. They live on a small island in the sanctuary islands. Perhaps one day we will be able to force the darkness out of these poor creatures and restore them to their once lovely lives. That is my krill and crab theory. I also think that this matter relates to deforestation and pollution in our world today-darkness caused a sad chain of events that destroyed a one thriving kingdom. Our choices all have consequences, both good and bad.
I have a question—where do you guys think the home island exists in the Sky geography and who built it? Also what is that island in the distance 
Hmmm
there’s some theories that the island in the distance is isle of dawn 
Yes
That’s what I think
Home is very close to isle, and though it is called “home” not all sky kids live there. Most choose to make their homes elsewhere in sky, such as in prairie, of valley.

Has anyone ever tried to draw a full map of all known sky locations?
It would end up very long lol
OK how about this:
- Isle elder: manages skykids
- Prairie elder: manages light creatures
- Forest elder: manages manufacturing
- Valley elder: manages sports/recreation
- Wasteland elder: manages defence
- Vault elder: manages knowledge
I'm watching you, @queen locust 
uh oh cold pings by skybot 
I have a question—where do you guys think the home island exists in the Sky geography and who built it? Also what is that island in the distance
The island in distance is where entrance cutscene is, it is not isle
skybot pls I have a family
And I guess that makes sense? We should be able to see Home from Isle as well if that's true
guys i found that forest mama is suppose to be shoulder height with wasteland
I have a question—where do you guys think the home island exists in the Sky geography and who built it? Also what is that island in the distance
i believe home island is actually located near eden
did you remember the first time we got spawned in home island? everything is dark except for occasional lightning. and you might wanna recall where lightning always appeared....
Lightning be flashy
So behind eden?
might be
altho therevis another theory that the first home island is located differently than home island after we get into a realm
altho its kinda confusing as well
why there need 2 home islands?
actually, if you look at all the cabinets throughout the realms the structures of them remains the same throughout
same order, same places where the gold is chipped, etc etc
so it's not that far-off to me that the cabinet moves with us from realm to realm
Cabinet
@livid yarrow I think krill are machines. Have you stood next to one in a safe spot and listened carefully? Also they shine a red and blue light from their face. In journey the other TGC game, these machines that look very similar to krill were created in order to destroy whoever the enemies were. I think they won and now it seems like maybe sky is a continuation somehow and these machines are left over just roaming around trying to fulfill what they were programmed to do.
sky is a spiritual successor to journey, meaning that it does not expand on journey's lore/universe but has similar design/theme/game mechanic elements
krills work similarly to guardians, yes, though you aren't doomed if you're spotted by a krill unlike with guardians but they are not the same
Krill sound like gears turning that were broken part way.
but still, it's possible that krills could have been war machines
the most apparent evidence is the mechanical noises (oops a bit late, but yeah what sylvos and asteria said)
@turbid ridge wow! What a theory!! I really like it! Yes-I’ve definitely noticed a lot of similar aspects between krill and those other dark dragons things. However, I firmly stick to my theory and you should to yours. Isn’t it wonderful that people like ourselves could come up with such ideas, simply based on a video game? No... this is more than a video game...in fact, I don’t know what to call it... maybe an... experience! Anyway, I love your theory!! -Sible
😁
personally I think krill are naturally occurring creatures, and my one evidence for this is that any technology in sky (i.e doors, floating platforms and boats) all have diamonds on them (presumably to power them) however krill lack this

please ignore the googly eyes LMAOOO but yeah i think the krill eye could be of the same material as power diamonds but in a different shape (might just be for gen chat chaos purposes that they removed the eye tho or it's a separate... design thing)

@normal berry but it seems like the good ppl created the diamond technology and evil created krill so maybe different technology and different power sources etc
Also I think it’s symbolic of sickness/old age/death. They only show up in GW (midlife) and Eden (end of life)
If you have been in the office, the posters on the wall are what I read into
I’m gonna go look at one close up again....
no need to spoiler office here btw!
you make a good point, and perhaps you are correct, but I respectfully disagree and believe that krill are natural organisms
although it would be interesting if they are indeed mechanical
for me i think that krills are corrupted light creatures of some sort
they're dark creatures but still are able to possess light (though not the good kind aha). and also because of the creature in vault lvl 5 representing gw i think it could be an uncorrupted krill
I've mentioned this before but it feels relevant. but i like to imagine an uncorrupted/light krill would have little antennas like these instead of horns, idk it's a cute thought
yo that's so cute!!
I heard someone here talking about how there's a kind of uncorrupted crabs in the sanctuary island that merely roam around and don't attack you, they don't have dust in their feet (more visible when you pick them up) which I think signifies corruption,, Krills have those dust too so maybe Krills were natural occuring creatures that just got corrupted somehow?
The voice of @sinful anvil is a whisper that echoes through the ages. May we meet again in the Eye of Eden!

Your link has a word in it that the filter doesn't allow
i lost 3 wls to get these pics
are there 4 shattered statues here? and 2 blue crystal statues?
yeah the blue crystal ones are around that area or the area before that
i can't remember the number since they always disappear too quickly for me to see but i see about 3 of the normal statues (not the pre-global blue crystal ones) in your first photo flos
there is one who got shattered before have a chance to get a pic of it
tehre is one before teh gate thing iirc
im too lazy to go back there again lmao
reasons(tm) and i can finally update my leitmotif notes too 
makes you wonder tho - why do those statues fade away? what makes them unable to be saved like the 63 statues in stormlock
they already didnt have souls in it
therefore didnt need to be saved
where their soul go? idk about that
looks like they don't even have a soul 😔 they just. fade away into nothing
indeed
literally gone, reduced to atoms
unlikw the statues that can be saved, these ones didnt have blue lines. just... bare statues
kinda sad tho
maybe they failed somehow? in whatever they were trying to do
we can't return wl to them so they either didn't have wl in the first place or they don't qualify somehow
if i understood your question correctly, when you first finish reliving a spirit they will appear in their realm constellation after you meditate at the realm elder's temple
e.g. when you first finish living the wave spirit's memories, you'll need to visit and meditate at the prairie elder's temple in order for the wave spirit to appear in the prairie constellation
as for the lore reason, i'm not sure about that 
probably more on game mechs 😔
damnit i just died i couldve gotten u pics )-:
it okie
can get em next time
lately i've been trying to fly up in homespace because of the repeated "home is where the heart is" thing and it does kind of look like a heart shape. and also i wish could have taken a better pic of the layout of the realms + constellation plate so i could line it up with the intro cutscene h
Mickey mouse
I WAS ABT TO SAY IT LOOKED LIKE MICKEY MOUSE LMAO
pale version of mickey
Demonic mickey
The krill behave a bit similarly from the guardians of the game "jorney" (a game made by thatgamecompany)
because they were inspired from journey
Krill is just alot crab combine and become terrifying being. You cant proof me wrong
How did they cause the downfall
Meme by @teal orbit
Alright so
Many people believe that kid is the prince/king that once ruled in sky
if there is summin bad in sky, its summin the king did
The king got corrupted, created the diamond in eden and destroyed his own land
But it's just a theory
Any questions
Wait doesn't that mean we have part of the prince/king in us
Since we regain our light after hugging them
Maaaybe


Maybe thats why his diamond spits out light/winged light
👀
our hair is light too?
coz when you lose your flame you become bald
and it's white colour
Why do people call the characters moths?
because brown cape looks like moth wings
does anyone noticed that prophet's spirits have the color of their associated elements?
for example this is water prophet
unlike regular spirits which is light blue
Can you show the other spirits? Cause it's possible that it's just the color without it emiting light
who lives or lived in the house-like structures of the valley sliding race?
or are they just parts of the temple?
also yeah the prophets all have colors as themes, idk about their statues but their cutscenes in the trials have them I'm pretty sure, their colors are also on their masks
@thin dirge lemme get pic later-
are skychild
I don't need sleep I need answers
what
Also about the Home island thing..
The weird thing is,,,
The "homespace" that we end up in when we come back after entering the point of no return
Is also the homespace we start in when we first get into the game
A theory says that maybe the game also takes place in the same world as jorney takes place
That'd suck since so many players are Android and we have no idea what's in Journey 
has anyone figured out what the murals in the cave say? 
Which cave?
@hushed steeple
Yknow when your entering that thin hallway or whatever and murals appear? Thats what i was talkin about
Wha? You mean the one where the trials and the seasonal guide is?
Hehe it's fine. And no I didn't have time to work on them yet...
But, emphasis on yet 
Can someone link me that sky creatures doc?
/the name thing? haha, pyre has it trying pinging the dude
Does anyone know the number of eden statues? Edenites if you will.
63
Gracias
/edenites? where did taht name come from?
My head just now, and my history with path of exile
/what a particularly oodd number really
To give us 15.75 acs instead of 16
/nah thát's the game play perspective
Lol I know, just jokin'
I like to think
/also, the game call them shrines
They were same as us
But they didn't get near the light, or lost the will on their way
That's why you meet all you "save" in eden
Because we didn't lose our will, the players kept pushing after the light was gone
/is that the people you havent be friended yet or is that the fallen we see in orbit flight scene?
/oooh preserverance huh?
The way I see it, after the "fall" you have to find the light in you to power through
The fallen couldn't, so you give them your light
/ohhhhh
To help guide them
/go on
*The feeling of the Winged Light fills you up with DETERMINATION!
But you managed, you fought the absense of light and prevailed
Honestly though, jokes aside, Winged Lights might be helping us in the end to keep going.
/this is a new take really, how you think about the white boi we hug?
seems like only current skykidp given the ability to find their own way to ascend
/okay im not gonna throw in prenc just yet i wanna see how vorth theory goes
I'm in class rn so I dunno how I can elaborate, but...
In the end, when all light is gone, we are the only ones who can save ourselves
also i agree with your theory vorth
That's my take on eden anyway
typinh im surgival glovke ism hoard
Thanks
/okay so what are the winged lights then
the light part of the fallen
@bitter shale yus
/why arre there more wl than 63
This is what I thought too
Well, some fell so hard...
xD
Falling rocks
My best bet
Destroyed some of the shrines
yes
/ohhh yea that too
No they probably meant, you can collect 80 before first eden
/okay also wth was with the wl in the trials
HOLD ON
to lure us
Some spirits have more light in them
Some have two light, we know because some spirits offer two light upgrades
are those spirit that can given ACs twice?
wait what
oh yea
/ah the laugh and the cry iirc?
/oh nope the wave
/was the wave lad and the cry lad parrt of the students in the prophecy
legend has it that ... everything will change
Damn bot, that was ominous
/when the fire nation attack
lmaoo
/eh, bot's lying to us
b r u h
are there any spirits that need to be ascended twice other than waving and crying?
/nuh uh iirc
K I gotta go guys, catch you all later, you've been wonderful, thanks for listening in to my ramblings
cya later mate, thanks for teh theory
/those are not rambling those are LORE
y e s
what
wdym what
/what are wls
shiny boi who soemhow got sun halo like eden diamond
/its like, nothing can fly on their own
im not wrong rite
/maybe they are part eden diamond?
mmm maybe? imo wls are pure light, i believe eden diamond is pure light too thats why both emits sun halo
Uhhh.. Did you forget that the wls are the imprints of the prince?
Some say they're help the Megabird send
only imprints
Yeah
its never said whose imprints wls belong specifically
also after entering point of no return it written 'return the light to the fallens'
not confirmed that the child of light from the intro (who is probably the one the wl are imprints of) is the prince but you can think think that way, yes
also very late but i'm not sure how many wedges you get after hugging eden glowy boi. 7-8 i think? 8 wedges is plausible since now (according to wiki) there are 91 wl in the realms, but 7? not really sure :/
Prolly 7
it depends on what is counted as seasonal maps/areas
/ark? sanc? the archives?
i just counted all the wl that you get if you were to travel in a linear fashion to vault (no side areas, just basically going through the realm visiting the least areas possible)
other than those jen i guess i'll count any areas that were from seasons/don't have any base spirits (need to recount again)
/oh yea also sunny forest/ underground
about 56 wl excluding areas that came during seasons/have no base spirits
excluded areas
isle: cave of prophecies + boogie spirit area
prairie: sanctuary
forest: sunny forest/underground caves
valley: sparkler maze in valley temple
gw: ark
vault: archives
56 wl does give 7 wedges and if you add the 10 wl from eden you still get 66 which is gives 7 wedges
it appears we have different sizes of crabs (regular crab on the left)
/okay new thing to add to i want list
since their being cooked I wonder how they taste?
and how long have they been there?
I dunno
the sky kingdom must have fallen a few hundred years ago
how are they not completely charred?
mmmm i imagine the crab shell is actually stone
thats why we literallyw ent flyingw hen they smavk us
just like how eden stone smack us
/smacked
Or maybe we get transported to the home island over there??
Oop I just realized the topic has long passed ekjwnwmakkax 
So i was wondering the temple in the forest is the only one with this thing on i wonder what purpose it brings
Was it only for beauty bc teth want to ooor is it for something else
Ping me if there’s any theory bout it
HOLD THE HECC UP
Hm
The Elders have been in Sky before the stars even fell
Yee
And the prophecy cave way even before that?
Apparently not rly
Idk
In my head canon it’s in the middle when the elders ar still ruling the kingdom
Not before the elders
But idk too
The timelines ar confusing
Or,, maybe they made the prophecy cave with those elemental lights..
I assume that the murals are told backwards,, The Fire mural might be the first mural and the last is the Water mural
-The elders came down first and used boats to transport the elemental lights to create the kingdom
-for some reason they made the prophecy cave
-The isle elder watches, anticipates even, the stars falling
The prophecy is the fall of the stars?
Wait no..
HOLD UP THE GEARS IN MY BRAIN ARE TURNING
Slooooowlyyyy
Then the ancestors are not the stars either?

Idk man
Things seem to make sense
Maybe
After you die in eden, you return to the home space island, but you fall from the sky
Ouch
Everytime i think if what happened to a place, I end up think what did that do to affect the other places
Same

The only clues we ever get are either the drawings of the walls, or the state of the place
Oh my god
What?
What if the shrines in Eden are us.. our old bodies? We die, we leave our old bodies there, we get rebirthed, we go through the realns again, we save our old body to ascend, we leave our new body and the cycle repeats itself
The cycle of rebirth
True
Thant makes sense
At least that solved the mystery of those who are trapped in eden
Brain hurty 
Same 
u know... ppl keep asking how the light seekers r related to enchantment and prohecy...
and i have a theory...
Spill
great
see...
in enchantment murals and proph murals...
they r always harvesting the colored stuff (like red, green, blue, cyan, and stuff)
and putting it somewhere...
so my theory is the lightseekers were gathering lights from each realm to put the essence of each realm (
wasteland
vault
forest
prairie
valley
isle)
in the lights...
