In the opening of sky
Doesn't help that the storm's still going after a long while-
Beta castle was grounded
Cursed
Maybe darkness attcaked that castle
Like
It didn’t float or anything
The castle was intact b4
Before now how it stayed up there floats still a bit mystery
Maybe the elders lived there?
Well of course- that castle from that above screenshot was just part of the entire castle
At least that's what it looked like to me anyway-
Ye
Well ya not wrong from the opening cutscene eden’s castle is humongous
It do b fell into ruins cus of darkness
I think the darkness plays a factor, but I don't think it could have done that much destruction on its own- but that's just me
Nope
Hello new Lore Moff!
Read this short document to get started! Once you’ve read this, check out pins for more information.

Yeah there is two castles in eden
@rapid juniper there’s only 1, it jus got split bc of the storm

@lethal stump thanks i now know who is megan
I think the castle was already floating
Just-
Decayed over the past thousands of years
Yeah it is already floating
Ok goodnight
The whole thing was always together, if u look at eden u can see the top broken off compared to when it used to look like
I cal em spires and yeah ig so, I see em everywhere tho
Even before ascension
Jay do you mean this pillars?
ok listen
i 1000% believe pnr takes place interior
not exterior
In the cave, i believe
Altho i see no cave opening after pnr
Before now how it stayed up there floats still a bit mystery
Time stopper
So no daylight cycle
I think... The diamond in Eden
Was supposed to be above the Eden shrine
By Eden shrine I mean the huge Vault-like shrine that we see during ascension
The diamond in Stormlock is supposed to be floating above that, like how the Vault diamond goes at the Vault summit
The diamond is far bigger than the shrine
So it fell?
Wait where is that pillar located?
@bitter shale in storm lock
The diamond is far bigger than the shrine
The Eden shrine is a perfect size for the diamond
Actually the shrine is far bigger than us skids
I don't think so
It's like 5.. 10 times the size of the Vault shrine
Well
So it fell?
@fast jasper probably
Big diamond go d r o p
sliding noise
Compare the size
Actually that’s a relatively good size
I think tgc made it big for illusions
Like the Elders
U know the eden diamond was probably bigger than what we see now?
The eden diamond went wheeee
Well all theories are welcome
Elders said nuh when it fell
(•̀ᴗ•́)و
Ded for 3 hours

Surprising, it's usually alive when I'm away
extreme wishful thinking but what if the prince and king are really different and its really alef who’s saying “but darkness came” which means the elders eventually follow the king who later turned corrupt so alef is the good guy who became us, but this leaves the question of why the narrator addresses us as “my child”
i mean... since alef might perish to create us... are we become some kind of alef's descendant or something-
is eden elder a smol child in a very large coat
even better
eden elder might be a smol child in mecha suit

however i just found. an artist named kaomogori or smth interpreted them as two different people so its more of a Your Mileage May Vary situation
Btw I just noticed crabs flakes disappear when you drown them in clean water
they still kick u tho..?
not if I flipped them :)
Creebs are actually really flat when It comes to their back's, so they literally have no way to get up
thats funny, idk. xD
Btw I just noticed crabs flakes disappear when you drown them in clean water
@hybrid oxide crab dandruff
Sometimes crabs get back on their own or being helped by other crabs
I wonder why in sky crabs are making frog-like noises, while butterflies are singing like birds
I mean god there is a BIRD so-
I don't know any frogs that sounds like sky crabs
me eighter, but This is the closest thing I can think of
im sure its not just raw frogs sounds, but
Aight sounds like I'll be drowning some crabs later on

@sinful anvil also where can i find this kaomogori person? Im inerested to see their arts

In my theory, the stars are us, skykids
we are uhh megabird's uhhhh ""children"" or like,, a part of them, at least. They gave us the power of flame or light to defeat/remove the darkness 
/i see it as multiple people telling the story, each adding for the other
/because i see it as,the first part was the elders, proud and happy
/and then darkness came and it was the prince telling his side
/and then megan/or prophets, idk telling us to give them some help
I haven't been this scared since my creator got stuck in someone's basement 
Now this is all confusing
Lmaoo skybot
It's a bit unlikely that the ancestors are the stars, because they're the ones who worshipped the stars
/part star then?
But it's not likely the elders either since they watched the stars fall
/ohhhh
/ancestors are rocks!
Just.. 
Compare the size
Amio#0305 actually I think the diamond is just a rip in space, really
Like a black hole
If you look at the animation closely it actually doesn't look solid at all
/a tree, tru, it looks woobly
/haha it's okay
Idk but the Isle elder seemed to have an important task of guiding something
/shepherding!
Yes but what
Another thing i noticed
When you get close to that watch tower on the left
Something that looks like a rock falls down
This is my only pic of it, sorry if it isn't clear lol
/down or up?
Huh?
/the rocks at the watch tower
Down
A huge chunk falls down
It falls from the watch tower
We don't usually notice it when going through eden because we are too busy finding statues 
But it's really interesting
Why would they need a watch tower near their shrine?
/okay
LOL
Nahh it's okay
/oop lemme get a pic
Lol
Yup
But like, who would try to attack eden anyways?
/there's also a statue, similar with a head, it's like a vault scholar or sth
Oh wow
/eden seems to be a sort of heaven, maybe a capital? very big factory?
From the ruins of eden, it looks to me more like a pavillion in ruins
Like, the ones in ancient greek, with all the pillars and suff
But if it's a factory or a pavillion, then the watch tower part doesn't make sense
So yeah, maybe a capital!
/unsure about the watch towers really
/who makes a watch tower in a shape of a scholar>
Maybe its a structure
Hm if we go check for ourselves maybe we could see the structure clearly by using a glitch but its risky going to eden just for the screenshot lol
/what are you talking about this is lore chat we do that all the time
/for lore!!!!!!!!
Yes, sacrifice your WL for lore
So were going to eden
You need a freind but sure im just lazy to get all wl back
*stares at my 85 wl* nope-
Who didn't got all the statues?
*stares at my 55 or 56 wl cause I keep on procrastinating and won't get my WL *
Well if im with my freinds i would take pictures of strange things in eden ,cuz i wanna do eden with freinds 
oh ok
Should slowly explore after EoE area location. 
i-
/yall i have 82 ac i can do it?
hmmm, if ya want
if you're planning to scavenge stormlock for the statues be quick because the statues crumble apart and then you'd only able to find the things on their backs as well as their heads
at least some of them do
when they crumble you can see their remains somewhere in stormlock
also i just had a thought do you think those statues represent skids but really tall? or even the king in another form? the thing on their backs look similar to the wings on your skid in the intro
i think i've made comparisons before hold on
discord please give my old account back
#lore-discussion-spoilers message
@solar relic ThAtS 4 mOnThS aGo
WoA-
YoUr An Og
/yea res has plenty of alts, one time her alt came and i told myself there's something verrrrryyyy res-like about this person
hold on you thought that was real???
Back to lore!
anyone know what the (literal) easter eggs in forest are for?
It seems they where for a mission on a past season
Instead of find the light, meditate whit the mantas, it was find the egg
which season?
No idea
Damn
/like when we still have blow kiss as main spirit
what this birb be? its lying on its back...
just pre-global things
Ok but like
/you know, if you sit on the round stone thing in front, you can still hear the meditation sound thing
that doesnt really answer any questions...
/and it used to be like the manta voice collection
ohh
the bird/eggs didn't have any lore significance in pre-global if that's what you're asking
whats with the slashes?
/~~'\*/'it looked like the winged light shaped but cant use it here ~~
just jen things
Her cat uhh broke her keyboard or something so there's slash on everything (If I remember)
wwww
back to lore or something
it was brought up before here but yeah why are the statues in the beginning headless? hm
/wait what about the others res
it was brought up before here but yeah why are the statues in the beginning headless? hm
@solar relic it's not a statue lol
it's the marker for the beginning of the trial
the end one is a statue tho
/it sorta is technically
it's like a kiosk
they're the same model(??? idk what other word) but the beginning is headless
not rlly
i cant believe i have to do the air trial everytime for ONE winged light qwq
/same 3d model ye
Sad
Anyways, right the air trial checkpoints doesn't have the air symbol?
So as the water trial, Earth is like the only one that has it's symbols on the checkpoints if there is none in air
But whyyyyyyyy
oh boy let's play: is it a bug or is it lore?
/yes
i-
/wait holup all the statues at the beginning is headless right?
Guess so
/oh
/it could be that the prophets chop of the head at the beginning as a sign of victory
The prophets have spoken and they said @gilded fossil would come and save us all 
/nah i have hw
waht
Also, if water and air doesn't have the symbol on the checkpoint. Does that mean Earth and fire has it's symbols on the checkpoint 
why would they chop the heads off
as a sign of victory
thats too violent for a kid's game
o-o
/yea one time we thought the manta cape was made out of mantas lmaaaaaaaaaao
yes
/ktjn said no tho
yee
/but they took the heads of and made them masks
..
in the app store there is a warning for mild horror 
krills
i-
/eden is horrifying too
hm but i don't think the models' heads got made into masks tho
but it's still questionable
mhm
Or it just symbolises that you just uhhh got a wisdom or smthng
When you suck at explaining
Bro why do y'al think they were statues lol
/yes, butter accepts all theories!
/ohhhhh could a been a mistake
anyway
/should we ping him tho, credits where credits due
yeah you should bring it up with either butter or brick if you ever see them in chat
nah i didnt make the name up
no one put it in
the doc tho
so i put it in suggestion
it was
Forest Mama
for Teth
Hmm... What are your theories about the Fire Trial?
It's also the last Quest Node, meaning it'll give the last cutscene

May be important
hm
today we have crying spirit quest, right?
this is very interesting quest
pay attention to the blue star. It shows us which spirit do we follow. In case of the light miner, the star isn't in them
but in other spirits, or even their graves, I think
the blue star that shows up when we call
I wonder why thats the case with her. Its a 'she' I think.
spirits don’t have gender 
they can be whatever we want them to be 
part way through it changes, it goes from being the miner’s friends to being themselves
ok, so everyone will ignore what I said and focus on a fact that I said 'she'
ah, thx brick
i always assumed it was a glitch 
Hello!
Here is the friendly reminder, the next monday will be our next trial, which is Trial of fire. So you shall prepare your soul before going to the cave of darkness with the ghosts that will make paralyzed in the night. So make sure to go with friends and open Warp if you want
Yea goodluck
Its very easy tho
Yes, time to die 2345686543 times
Wait do people actually find it hard?
𝔹𝕣𝕠-
Wait do people actually find it hard?
@hushed steeple actually, if you play it on beta ( spoiler) you will find it easy
Air was ez
I kept watching my friends fall over and over lol
We all know you seem to see easy to all Trials
wat
Jk
I had a stroke reading that lol
lmao
i-
Do we know the old seasonal spirits’ names? since the names update is pretty recent..
once they come as ts they'll have names
yes it was hard Kokichi not everyone has godlike reflexes
lmao
was going to send an updated theory of mine but i exceeded the limit by 1000 characters 
i-
hello please prepare for an incoming wall
i couldn't condense it much
In the intro, the CoL no longer having the rings of light around them is followed by the disconnection of light from the elders. This could mean that the CoL decided to go down to the ancestors from orbit and take a physical form in order to rule/connect with the people. As light was infinite when the CoL and elders were connected, this disconnection might have caused darkness to come. Elders followed them down
CoL, in physical form, was crowned king as the elders had revered him (their connection to CoL bringing infinite light) and thus the ancestors/spirits followed as well. He resided in Eden - most likely a beautiful place.
Then came his discovery of power diamonds (courtesy of Forest elder but he might have taken full credit maybe that's why Forest elder angy). Seeing how they could benefit the ancestors, he ordered power diamond factories to be started to mass-produce power diamonds.
Seeing how much the power diamonds helped the kingdom, which in turn, made him even more revered by the people, the king became more prideful. More diamonds were made. More light creatures were sacrificed and the waters were getting murky. The more he exposed himself to the darkness of power diamonds, the more he lost himself. He started off with good intentions and then became corrupted.
So, in his greed for power and his desire to keep his position and pride and as a show to the people, he wanted to harness the power of a gigantic diamond - the diamond in Eden. He ordered for a large power diamond to be built in Eden. I'd imagine this was around the time a possible battle/war between power diamond and anti-power diamond factions took place in GW.
Then the diamond was finished. He drew close to the diamond, wanting to absorb the power. But he was blind to how the diamond could not take its own power, and as he held the diamond (not really held, just touched I guess, according to the vault mural for eden), it exploded.
The king’s physical form is utterly destroyed by the blast, and he has to turn back into the CoL form which is trapped in the diamond.
In the storm, however, imprints of his soul/CoL are scattered throughout the realm. These imprints could be paths that the King had taken before, or they’re just there because they’re there from being blown away by the storm. Or, those imprints are from the previous generation of skids sent before us.
In the following years post-destruction, the first generation of skids - modeled after the CoL sent by Megan adapt to life in the sky kingdom and set up places like the social areas and maybe even leave behind their candles as signs they were there. They are given parts of king's soul (aka CoL) to try and save the king/eden elder.
Maybe the eden elder needed a lot of skids to be saved - so maybe this is why we are in an endless cycle of rebirth - there are so many unnamed skids in orbit and they could be all the previous generation of skids that were saved before.
But in the end, previous batch of skids manage to reach the eden elder, but they lose all their light in the process. They turn to stone for a long time.
Your skid now has go to Eden to save the fallen. Because they saved you before, now you will save them.
And here I blame Megan (Megabird) for not cleaning up the mess and instead leaving it to us to clean it up lol. i lost track midway so i'll probably tidy it up before sending it to the theory doc
I want to have something in response, related to the current murals in Prophecy, but it's kinda late for me atm
I'm supposed to be asleep
get your 8 hours of sneep snorp broski
@solar relic this is amazing - thank you!!
thank you for reading! 
I enjoy your tragedy 
Okay that just sounds wrong
Also you know what seems infinite but is different in a way that only becomes clear when you really dig in? Regenerative resources
You know what acts like a regenerative resource?
🔥
So here is a theory:
The elders had enough flame. They ALWAYS had enough flame. If they used some, or even a lot, they still had enough
The ancestors did not have enough flame, so with the exception of Daleth, the elders began offering their flame.
But as technology advanced the ancestors used light faster than the six elders could regenerate it.
The elders didn't understand they were running out either, since they had always had enough
That was a well executed pun. And also yes
One thing Skykids have that the elders didn't: a sense of how much flame we have
If we get low, we KNOW about it
Maybe that's why Megan never gave us PPE, so we would know what being low means
oh that could tie in with that line in the intro scene
maybe they were told to not overestimate the power of their regenerating flames but they were confident that they could meet the demands of ancestors and technology. but they didn't listen (besides good ol' daleth), got too confident in their flame and eventually they became the state they are in as we see them now
Maybe Daleth was the one who warned them? If Daleth fell into the water, it's possible they went out and were the first to discover what it meant to run out of light
... What if the trials were based on the elders first experiences?
Could someone explain what the Ark is for me?
All i know is that it's supposed to be combination of all tribes (my friend's words not mine)
Daleth fell in harsh water. The valley twins had to navigate an environment that kept whipping them around. Ayin had to navigate a confusing world where slipping on the ground meant falling into the abys. Aleph may have had to figure out a way to get light stored somewhere so he could recover if he is able to generate but not store it (note: based on prediction about fire, not knowledge.) Until he ran into Lamed
Oh hi Ali
Dang Forest elder still wears heels even with all that legs?
Hello !!
I think the distribution of elemental lights is based on the quality that the Elders possess?
The wisdoms
The elders held that
I wanted to tell you earlier but you weren't on - I read your doc. Not a bad story, though I notice that there are some areas where you express uncertainty about details. Have you considered expanding the theory by exploring implications of different options regarding the areas you are uncertain about?
Forest elder is stronk
But fell out of it when the darkness came
I wanted to tell you earlier but you weren't on - I read your doc. Not a bad story, though I notice that there are some areas where you express uncertainty about details. Have you considered expanding the theory by exploring implications of different options regarding the areas you are uncertain about?
Ah ! It was only a first draft, I plan on expanding, revising and/or removing stuff when time goes by
It's my first theory after all
Ah, makes sense. Might I reccomend moving to a hosted doc so all links are kept up to date?
I tried moving it but got overwhelmed with the doc and chickened out 
(You can clearly see them in the cutscene)
Water — Wisdom of patience: Forest elder. They lost that patience, you can clearly see it as they impatiently snatched the flame from the skykid.
Earth — Wisdom of resilience: Prairie elder lost it when they fell asleep.
Air — Wisdom of balance: Makes so much sense for the elder twins, when the darkness came they started to compete each other and eventually lost that balance.
Fire — Wisdom of bravery (?): Wasteland elder lost that bravery when he put his spear down, as if they're giving up.
btw what does PPE mean in null’s theory?
Wait what are the ancestors?
It means it's time to sleep
Ali
Ancestors are the spirits you relive
That's no joke
Oh
Oh
That's the actual term
Personal Protective Equipment is a standard term for equipment used to handle standard on the job hazards like chemicals used on the job
Yes
I've literally been hearing that term everywhere but I didn't think it was what u meant in your sky theory
Aight sleep
I have to sleep
It's 12:30am
Have fun pondering, Lore folk !
Here's some long bois




























Rest your brain for brain juicer
For brain juicer does not like weak and tired brains
((Unrelated but the game has white butterflies right))
they’re either yellow or blue i believe
Huh
Thought the ones in forest are white
Guess they're too shiny
Welp that throws away my crackpot theory
What do you guys think of the drawings in the cave of prophecies?
i-
I think it’s cool
Ya gotta delete the spaces
Ohh, thanks you
let’s try to keep to lore, y’all 



whalessss
how about we talk about the sparks that fly out behind us when the flap
you have no idea how hard that was to screenshot
Oh
I know it's light but why do they fly out?
also you glow blu after you use a wedge by blue meaning lost or death :p
The kid just used its light power to impulse, it’s like an energy impulse
I have just noticed that the sky kids mounting the krill emojis are not complitelly well connected and that perturbs me
Nice fireworks staff by the way
oop i see it now
s h o r t


when you enter the #lore-discussion-spoilers and its just a bunch of chorts
yes
im probably going to speedrun the fire trial when it opens just to get the next mural
mhm mhm
the murals give literally no clue as to what fire trial is tbh
like wit errythin else you got like
Ooh floaty rock! Ooh maze!!
Ooh water!
And then fire is just like Ooh empty space!
well that’s why im speedrunning the trial
gl mate
What do you think its prophet is
Like the Prophet of Water is patience and stuff
I haven't been this scared since my creator got stuck in someone's basement 
uh
hold up
well it says it when you first complete the trial
air = balance
earth = resilience or something
i dont think it works like that but i feel like it was to prepare for something to come
mhm mhm
LIke i said i remember hearing a theory that the trials were to do something for the kingdom or smoething
chaos 
@sinful anvil also where can i find this kaomogori person? Im inerested to see their arts
![]()
![]()
![]()
@bitter shale it’s kaomogi on tumblr. they have some elder ships and wholesome drawings (& they know hk too!)
MHMHMHM! They're also eyebaus on twitter
They also do BFB and like MCSM but that's irrelevant and also off-topic
So anywayssss
"You have honored the wisdom of patience" is the quote
dere it is
The Wisdom??? Hmm......
The word Wisdom is capitalized as far as I can remember which means its a Proper Noun
Hmmm
in chinese it says “you must be [widom of patience] as they say in the legends” or smth
Hi everyone, I talked about making a website trying to lay as comprehensively as possibly the lore of the game. I was thinking of combining my own ideas and some I have found here (on the drive folder) and write a linear story.
Would it be okay if I did so while crediting you (with your discord handles as they’re the ones used on the drive folder) for every idea I got from here? Or do you think it’s irresponsible and I should only go with things I thought on my own?
The website is for pure fun reasons, it’s not really a guide but more of a story. Is that morally okay?
Maybe check in with the lore wiki team first since that project is kinda similar?
I'm not against my ideas beong shared with credit (make sure you use ALD_PRODUCTIONS rather than the nick, which changes often), but being aware of other produvts may prove helpful
Nini, i tried to do the same thing, but here, and bricky said that was against the chat rules and if i wanted to do it i should do it somewhere else...
So u r definitely in the clear and it dhould be moral...
@little island
what are you talking about ? i don’t recall saying that making wikis/compilations was against chat rules
Since it’s been some time since someone posted a theory about a lore, here’s a video, maybe it could help
they updated the intro 
AJSHJSJS 👁
Hey guys, I have a question, does anyone know what these are, are they in every realms? They kind of look like a clock ? Idk if it's lore... Passed season related... Or total mystery ?!
What ?! Really, how ?
Oh wait, the invisible boat I know, but, it's not supposed to be in the game anymore right?
i think so
Weird, so it's from passed versions of the game, do you think we can activate them again?
Thank you for sharing this @hushed steeple because I’m pretty sure that’s not the intro I had
Weird, so it's from passed versions of the game, do you think we can activate them again?
@whole prawn most likely not, the devs tend to keep a lot of things from the beta in as an easter egg
like that weird golden pot in floor zero of vault
unrelated to that, but i found this mural in a cave of sanctuary islands. is this a glitch ..or?
ignore the crab. simply vibing
What do you think of the prophecy quest giver? I think if he's based off of Anubis then he might be watching over the dead or the spirits in their afterlife. Since he hasn't been involved in any of the spirit memories or the murals so far.
well i havent directly theorized on anubis but we were given a tip that their mask means something
Someone knows what the dead bird in valley is? 👀
so im either thinking that their halo on their mask references the halo that appears over candles, or the crescent moon we see in sky
Someone knows what the dead bird in valley is? 👀
@random cove it is also a leftover from the beta
it was supposed to tie in to the manta call quest iirc
And since he's the one who shows the murals to the skykids and gives out quests, I had a thought that maybe he's a leftover, or a former student of the prophets who stayed behind to keep the story secure. Except that my theory on the halo was that it was similar to the eden crown, meaning the qg was on the save level as or tried to be the king, maybe failed. Or with the theory that the halo and eden crown were just symbols of rare greatness, the qg could have been the leader, but he wouldnt have had a job 👁️
Ok i go now bye bye
Ohhhh...

thats a really good theory!! especially with what little we have been given on the questgiver lol
like that weird golden pot in floor zero of vault
@desert sun omg yes I was wondering about that one too for a while, so it's just stuff from the beta that the dev didn't fully removed... It's like intriguing and frustrating at the same time 😂
hopefully this final cutscene and mural will give SOME backstory on him haha
because from what i can tell, anubis hasnt even been in the murals
Considering HOW MUCH POPCORN BETA PEOPLE EAT HERE
( i have not been here for any mural talk at all so i know 0% of the theories )
I hear we're talking Fox Jesus lore
It's either gonna be good or super anticlimactic
FOX JESUS IM- 
Beta folk make me want to smash my head into a wall sometimes with all the teasing smh
Oh no beta folk that's me, I can't say anything, actually i havent been paying attention to the murals anyways so i came here for a better eye

i look at the murals and the lore cogs in my brain start to turn? and then it all stops making sense all at once LOL
i cant form anything on it
i feel that-
My brain is computer noises but like the qg is a complete mystery
so 
Beta is actually a tease because we have to wait for live to catch up to hear the theories
Anywho- about Fox Jesus, Anubis is a Jackal
when prophecy first started i remember someone shared the final mural multiple times and i have since erased it from memory but Man
why do we call them anubis again?
He's a god from egyptian mythology
It just kinda stuck, the mask looks like anubis, and the drum is west african
That mask is almost an exact replica of his face
ohhh okok, that makes sense
i dont know my mythology which is realllllly bad for me since im into sky lore
jackal jesus
He's the guy overseeing the weighing of the hearts thing- to see if you're worthy of entering heaven or cast into hell
that would have real weird implications if the mask is actually based on anubis
Fox Jesus got stuck to me idk why either it's probably the halo-
jackal jesus is a personal fav
Anubis' most notable role is being God of Mummification
But other than that and showing up here and there, he's actually not present in a lot of the myths
sounds familiar
He's more of a background character on the Egyptian Phanteon
jackal jesus left us to get milk and still hasnt returned
I'm not in lore chat often but isnt there a theory stating that the prince/king is the megabird's child, the king would be jesus, and eden crown being similar mask halo,,,
actually, my eyes hurt, I'm gonna finish my lunch

Well yeah. Where are you gonna find a cow in Sky?
The prophets are 4 elements. Is there a 5th element?
Milk the whales, easy, theyre mammals arent they 
The prophets are 4 elements. Is there a 5th element?
@violet depot good point !
Psst hey @desert sun, I heard there's a prophet somewhere that's very shy, but you didn't hear it from me 
I DIDNT EVEN SAY IT THAT TIME

You quoted it
fair
but yeah, if the 4 prophets have ties to elements then what would anubis be? the avatar?
but when the world needed them most....
google tells me the 5 elements are air, fire, water, earth, and... SKY
have y’all ever heard of the aether ?
its just the universe kinda
it was said that since light had to travel through something, they came up with the element aether which is basically a light conductor that allows light to go wherever it pleases
its the empty space and it tops all the elements
(im eating dont worry)
Well there's plasma, energy, darkness, etc ive all seen as replacements for the 5th element.
Maybe the quest giver is one of the periodic table of elements, which i'm saying as a joke but still
or, the markings on the anubis mask are the same color as the UI in game, 
Maybe Anubis is just the guy who brought it all together
Or perhaps Nothing is in itself an element
anubis is like the robin of the gang, doesnt really have a power but hes there to lead and have moral support :)
well, it seems his drum has the power to reveal murals, which we see in game is related to candles/light 
Kinda wonder what virtue's associated with the vacuum of space
A
Are you saying anubis doesn't exist?
Hey maybe he is just a tool/puppet the prophets used to guide us through it all 
well, it seems his drum has the power to reveal murals, which we see in game is related to candles/light
starts smacking the drum near random walls
... suspiciously sniffs Brick's suggestion for Beta hints
i would never tease beta stuff UwU 
only watch your suffering as you await the fire trial 
Press X for doubt
I'm pretty sure if you listen closely at the isle side of the entrance, you can hear the drum in the clouds 👁️
why does he hit his drum every 2 weeks and just dip like "aight thats my work for the month"
He aint getting paid for much else
do spirits even get paid
He's dead what do you pay them
youre the one paying them lol
They get paid with candles and hearts, and then they go back to spirit heaven
yea yea if you stand next to the portal you can hear the drum beat, like when you stand next to a portal at home
Technichally he pays us
Is the currency candles because we're lighting them up like a shrine or something
The questgiver bankrolls the candles.
sneak stance and memory call are rich now, they get 50 hearts on the daily, regularly, 
He pays us in lore
i wonder if the currency before everything died was candol, or if it was different
good, my favourite spirit making bank like she deserves to
i wonder what happened in the past to make everyone die
sneaky survivor supremacy
ive named sneak stance raz and im way too attached to her
shes best gorl
oh hell yeah
Oh, I didn't think of that 
So the other outcome is "uh, thank you for the hearts and candles, but we can't use these, oh ok, you're still giving us them, uh would you like my cape?"
I named her Nadi 
I just thought they were a he this entire time kajsjakj
I use they/them for them on my own, but use whatever pronouns the chat is using at the time 
i use they bc its easier in convos
Anyway- back to Jackal Jesus
JACKAL JESUS OML
jackal jesus and spirit currency
we know other elements exist thanks to enchantment, so maybe JJ is one of these?

JJ-
Assuming we can say that Jackal Jesus is associated with Aether- what virtue is it supposed to represent?
what were the enchantment elements?

One summoned murals
, and one summoned the bazaar 
perhaps aether is versatility ?
the red light...
Water, air, earth, spell shop and fire, murals, civilization
it lurks in dark places
perhaps it has to do with krill and the red crystals in eden?
all objects can pass through aether
it’s everywhere
and the fifth prophet guides us to be able to complete all the trials
to be versatile
brick is spittin facts
red light seems to tie in to darkness a lot
Reds a pretty dangerous color in the world of sky
hm
the red light is connected with darkness
but reveals murals made of light 
Maybe it's cause the murals give us knowledge, and to find knowledge, you need to look in sketchy places
When you say that it makes me think Vault is some black market for knowledge lmao
lamed: hey kid want some bööks
until the entrance crumbled
Sketchy for good reason- no one was allowed inside and yet it's decimated
^^
if the vault is deteriorating, maybe one day they'll add more rooms to it for us to explore
i had a theory someone broke into archives and stole knowledge but idk who would do that
Also in I think it was chinese, the vault is known as the forbidden library or something similar
i feel like there was some kinda war in the past
forbidden pavilion
i mean, with wasteland being in the state it is
Well Battlefield is named battlefield for a reason, and you dont just scatter that many weapons on the ground for fun 
plus you got all dem soldiers
ash: haha large weapons go brrrr
Unless they were playing a game, and the spirits are just really sore losers
Idk about you guys but I feel like sticking some swords in the plaza today
its giving me botw vibes
Courageous Soldier, Saluting Captain, Fainting Warrior, etc.
krills = guardians
damn did the spirits’ species go extinct?
tbh? from the looks of things, yes
i look to the opening cutscene for that one
from the looks of things, something happened in eden which spread all throughout the land of Sky
probably an explosion or something having to do with the eden diamond
i feel like maybe they were slowly consumed by darkness plants, like one of those miners
Some say the explosion was just the tipping point and from the looks of the lore we got from Prophecy I'm inclined to believe them
which would appear when they feel intense despair
Oh that reminds me, so in the concept art of the spirits, if you zoom in reallly closely and ignore the fact that concept bird call looks the same,
Concept Memory Call looks an awful lot like the current Frightened Refugee,
So I've always thought that maybe fear spirit used to be a vault spirit and maybe ran away from something there? Since battlefield opens into vault, they would have to have ran and awful distance to have been found at the very start of wasteland
Refugee suggests that they escaped from something
except that it directly connects to eden...
And again,,, the archives 👁️
wdym the archives-
the only threat in archives is crabs, and spirits literally cook them for food 
The archives and whatever broke into it
Why would something that's pretty safe need to be sealed away for good 
I have a hard time believing that crabs were the only things down in Archives
by archives, you mean the corridors?
Those walls looked like they needed something big to have broken down like that
Nope- two-player door
that dark, mysterious place?
I do mean the two person door on the right of the ground floor yes 
yeah thats what i mean
i love that place
it has that mystery potential
lore potential
there’s also that matter of lamed/vault elder having those scars that was discussed earlier
do you think vault is supposed to be more protected, or sealed away?
Protected, given the apocalyptic state of Eden. I'm sure the spirits would have wanted their knowledge to be preserved and left for future generations
considering the only entrance to vault is the wasteland elders temple which has a large looming gate, id say guarded
i actually found a long japanese fan comic about the past of wasteland and vault, and despite not understanding a thing they said, the circumstances looked quite dangerous
i think its a good theory
also, if the archives was a sealed off place specifically for forbidden knowledge then itd be safe to say everything outside would be safe knowledge for people to view
i want to learn japanese just for the fan comics
want me to dm you the link?
no thanks, but i appreciate it :)
Miso misoni's comic?
Yep!
I wanna see the comic 
can i send the link here, or in dms?
Better in dms just in case?
If so, I put the whole thing in a quick image translator at some point, its heavyyyyy and i was thinking about it for weeks 
im actually going through their whole account translating their comics with a bunch of translators all working together, and accidentally learning japanese while doing so, the comic is far ahead, but I can work on the translation now 
oooh

there’s an image tranlator-
that exists?!
damn i couldve spared so much time
yeah its miso’s
damn i really wanna see a translation
Though, I don't remember a specific premise, it really was more focused on the
and
cape spirits, but it did say that the vault was built after things started getting out of hand in the rest of the realms, forbidden or at least not open to the public, and it ended with the vault being sealed off after everyone died from wasteland 
Oh damn...
Rei, i'll dm you if i ever finish 👁️
Y E S
oh boy, time to relive the p a i n
it made me love those two spirits even more aaaaa
there’s a lot of fanart of them and i love it
so, what was the whole story with
spirit?
also love the headcanon miso has of sneak stance being mute (im selectively mute so it was nice
)
awww
It was more with
, ||the comic following them being the last one alive of the wasteland spirits and,,, yea||
the ANGST ow

now i want spirit fanfics damn
yeah its really angsty
Anyways, i am off now, I've already translated half of miso's comics, it shouldn't be too long before I get to the wasteland one 
I'll send you a friend request for easy access then 
Also maybe writing miso a thank you letter for inadvertently making me learn Japanese
hehe
The obelisk lights up now!! (So excited for fire trial which is coming soon)
i shall be off too now!
@blazing terrace apologies for the ping I too would like the comics that you already or gonna translate please 
Did i hear angsty comics 
Because I scrolled through them just and damn it's so good but I can't understand them 
also who’s miso
The artist who made the angsty comics
oh ok
Comics?
Indeed
I have an idea of where krill came from
share 
Sry I was gathering my thoughts
So after the disaster that turned Eden into...Eden, wasteland waters became polluted with darkness, causing the small lobster-like things (related to crabs) there to mutate and grow. Eventually they became the ‘guardians’ of Eden
Or sm related to crabs 
wassup my dear lore-seekers??
Sup kreb
Did we just talk about Miso's wasteland comic? 
hello yes i want to see the comic : D
Ill try to find them, then I'll dm
I can dm you guys the link Rei sent me
Is it the translated one? If it is, you can dm me
Nope, it's the original Japanese one
Oh I already found the link for that but thanks 🙏
Alrighty
Anyway, back to lore
I do wonder how Jackal Jesus ties to Prohecy
Maybe fire trial mural will reveal it, maybe not
Lmao jackal Jesus
But I think he's more like, the organizer or sth? Leader? Sth along those lines I'm not sure
with what I said about prophecy being just a hardcore summer camp jackal jesus ||
|| is the head counselor
The prophecy??! don't trust what the Elders say!!
I know what skybot says isn't cannon but
what are the elders saying
GUYS! GOD NEWS!
I meant Good News.
I just re-did my story! Now it can be sent in one post! Yayyyy!!!
can we read it?

nope
what are winged light tho
Do u know which ts will come ?
@hushed steeple that question shall go to #questions-and-help
tis for lore
not ts
glowy bois
oh boy thats a lot of off-topic
Ohhhh boi lemme get typing on my theory for that
So i think our glowy bois are imprints of prince of where he has been before king went all corrupt and basically doomed everyone with the diamond which i assume went boom
Im gonna probably continue this tomorrow
Do you guys knows where the krill came from? And how they came to be?
there are theories for that
Sorry@livid valley
dw mistakes are learned
The prophecy??! don't trust what the Elders say!!
Y'kno... i always imagine Elders tryna tell their people to ignore the Prophecy since... well, its just a 'prophecy', soemthing that didnt always bound to happen and there is no need to worrying something vague like that
Maybe
@hybrid oxide send me the link for that comic fam
same you keep mentioning it




Today quest in valley is to search blue light again
...kinda weird isnt? Blue light, according to prophecy mural, should be in Forest instead of Valley
i do not see u_u

those are different lights tho or not? :0
I thought the lights were related to ark, not propechy?
Hey guys I am back!
Haven't been here for a while
But see this
Sun exists in sky.
...kinda weird isnt? Blue light, according to prophecy mural, should be in Forest instead of Valley
So, it ain't weird then! Cuz collecting lights is part of ark and has nothing to do with the color of propechy symbols
And yes, that was kinda obvious to me that the sun exists
So what were you thinking the light source from the sky before you knew the sun exist in sky?
The Enchantment coloured Lights and Prophecy elemental light are different.
The Prophecy has been lost at sea, I wonder who'll find it...
The Enchantment coloured Light are artificial versions of the original elemental light.

Like, each realm is based on a time of day
You can see the sun most clearly in prairie (day) and valley (sunset)
In other places, you can guess there's a light source coming from somewhere in the sky at least (except vault since its inside)
Hmm ._.
Then I found this
Vault does have a moon
Oob
It's OOB not canon.
Yeah, since the rest are when the sun is up
And from the blue theme in vault I'd assume that was night time too
OOBs aren't canon to the lore.
Did a dev/staff say that?
Also yes it does, but it's more just sparkles around the walls and on the animals
Like in orbit
Did a dev/staff say that?
@neat fractal I don't understand?
Yeah sparkles
I meant did a dev/staff say that all oob isn't canon to lore?
Just out of curiousity so ik for sure
OOBs are out of bounds area.
I wonder why they added a moon in vault if it can't even be seen in there? 
Ikr-
When you break the game , OOBs happen.
Yes yes you don't need to explain me the whole concept of oob
But still makes ya think why small details like that are added anyway
I don't know Zelda so- 
/what-
Also does anyone have a clear screenshot or picture of the concept of the realms in office?
Like that isle is dawn (a child), prairie is day (toddler?) etc etc
Next to the fridge
Isle of Dawn is birth
Daylight prairie is childhood.
Hidden forest is teenage
Valley of triumph is adulthood .
Golden wasteland is middle age
And for the time of days?
Vault of knowledge is where you get old.
Cuz I don't remember for vault and eden/orbit (IIf it has one)
I mean when you become grandpa /grandma
I don't know the name of that phase.
Eden is death
Yeah that's why I asked for the pic oof
Orbit is rebirth.
Yeah that's obvious
Then repeat.
Wouldn't the pic be blurry rho
It's not that visible in general.
The art itself is already pretty hard to read
It's still readable when you see it yourself in office
I just mean the big titles on top
I am typeing from a Android phone.
Same
So don't look at me >.<
What do you guys call the glyphs?
Wasteland Elder wearing heels is the only thing that keeps me going
ya got me there 
Wasteland elder's shiny heels were too much for the world that it broke apart
Wasteland elder too on fleek
That is my theory
Wasteland elder's shiny heels were too much for the world that it broke apark
@pseudo heart yez
Thank u for listening
claps
What do you guys call the glyphs?
@pure leaf Glyphs? Is there a fancy name for them?
Eden elder? King? Prince? MEGABIRD? oh peesh posh, when wasteland elder and their shiny heels come around, everyone cowers and bows to the ground
I think it's safe to say that I've won sky lore 
yesir
....
What is it Nova? Can't take Wasteland elder's divinity?
...
I-


i-
As you SHOULD
Beat the king propaganda or whatever the heck that is with Wasteland elder shiny heel propaganda, start making shiny heel statues everywhere
bye chescal
and yes hit the king propaganda with shiny shooes
they also have sharp heels
My head accidentally swapped brain juice with crack juice this is just what I can think of ,,sorry 

Lmao that was a delight to read
You are: forgiven
I wonder why they added a moon in vault if it can't even be seen in there?
How can they add a moon in vault, vault is just a tower, a celestial body like a moon can't fit in there. I think the light source in vault is all those blue lights of the diamonds, lamps, and the light.
Also, it would be impossible to play if they made vault too dark.
Also, it's true that sky world has a host star and a natural satellite/moon too, the moon is seen in Shipwreck and the ark too in it's crescent form
But both of those are very far away and most likely somewhere among the vast space seen in the credits
How can they add a moon in vault, vault is just a tower, a celestial body like a moon can't fit in there.
I'm not sure if you're joking here or actually serious-
But apparently they did add a moon, if you oob somehow
I don't think it's a moon but more of something that the devs put for the sake of lighting
For the cutscene
Now that you all mention celestial bodies though, idk if I'm looking too much into this, but is everything we see just stuck in time or does passage of time happen
idk I'm kind of drowsy rn
They just happened to use a sphere model and used a glow property to make their desired light effect idek 
I mean yeah maybe Vault Mom just wanted a giant disco ball
And we all thought it was a moon-
I rlly don't think we should look too deep into oobs since it's usually where modellers dump uhhh stuff and it's not something that they rlly put much effort to look pretty
I don't model professionally and especially not for games but I do uhm,, used to? model houses/buildings as a hobby I am definitely not speaking from experience
I hit enter too fast
My question was-
Is there a reason we're given 7 flaps when flying through the ruins after dying?
Like, it's not wing buffs nor normal winged light since it doesn't show a number on the top middle
There is talk about it having to do with the number of findable WL, but the findable WL slowly increases over time. It may also be that 7 is a lucky number or the number of realms.
Yeah I was gonna say I think it symbolizes the 7 realms but internet said no
iirc the reason for 7 flaps is because in the base game (not counting seasonal wl), 7 flaps is the most you can get
also, the number 7 has lots of symbolism around it so i doubt it was an accident, so to speak
where is the eden lore 
@frosty wadi MY FRIEND FROM GEN CHAT-
haha yes
𝑵𝒐 𝒊𝒕 𝒐𝒇𝒇𝒊𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒍𝒚 𝒅𝒊𝒆𝒅
I promise I will stop stalking the chat and say something once I find something to do with lore
ok
#ᵈᵉᵃᵈˡᵒʳᵉᶜʰᵃᵗ
It’s sneeping :((
yeah :((
Well, the big-big brainers are sneeping
Anyways, why does uhhhh Valley portal has one uhhh broken and not?
Wait, lemme send pic
probably because of age or something? i’m not a big brained lore person 
That's ok
Also, only Isle and Valley's portal are slightly more broken than the other portals
there’s no definite answer, you’re welcome to make your own
And both are not that affected with darkness
Since both Isle and Valley has few darkness (one in the 2 spirit barrier (Isle) and in the Valley Maze)
But Daleth's physical form was damaged and the twins' became more competitive. So there's that
Hmm, maybe the portal's signify the physical forms of each elder or something
Then what about the wasteland portal, there’s a lot of darkness behind that
maybe its because its sort of neglected or something? i mean, i feel like the areas with the most darkness are tended too. you usually only visit valley and isle a few times. idk just some of my thoughts 
mb Home is where the prince lived..
Perhaps instead of Isle's and Valley's realm being filled with a good amount of darkness....Perhaps the darkness instead damaged Isle's body and the Valley twins relationship (?, They might do that to make their realm not that damage by darkness)
Dunno
oh!
OH YOU GIVING ME AN IDEA
what if Isle and Valley elders both sacrificing themselves so the darkness didnt destroy their persective realms
like what Chescal said
okay that does sounds like i only repeating what Chescal said-
I-
maybe its because its sort of neglected or something? i mean, i feel like the areas with the most darkness are tended too. you usually only visit valley and isle a few times. idk just some of my thoughts
@wind kraken lots of us visit valley almost everyday


maybe
