looks like we were like.. their last hope
lore nerds rise up 
FLOODED
Gw was a battleground
oop
so who created us??
And an industry
where do we stem from??
Tbh I only come on sky channel bc of the lore
i honestly dashed into here because of the mural
Megan created us (according to most theories)
And who are the people in eden? Is my question like the ones we save
yep. there's spears and swords in battlefield, and the shields have the sun & diamond symbol, representing different sides. a war definitely happened there
What are the... element names again? I know the last one was Courage
jj
Everyone failed but the child of light succeeded and got the wisdom
glowy child doing all the trials
Tbh the fact that the whole concept is a game just confused me more
yep
@chilly jewel patience is water ithink
fire trial is out floks
That's makes we wonder if we, are the child of light
and i can now say DARK WORM!!!!
patience, resilience, courage and the other that i forgot 
And who are the people in eden? Is my question like the ones we save
@obtuse lark wait someone plz answer this I’m lost
ahhhhhh catharsis(?)
/slaps knee.... SO.
balance is air
patience
resilience
balance
courage
you need a lot of resilience to get through that trial 
Why are there statues of other kids in eden?? If they died shouldn’t they have just been reborn?
... I think the murals are to do with the rise of the king. ... this golden figure.. .. completing the trials and ascending. And having that.. king style halo.. like.. cmon
ill call the weird worm cloud tiny dark creature a silverfish
The symbols are different@slender raptor
Prophecy elemental symbols are different than enchantement element symbols
there was a theory that the people in eden are other children of light, given the structure of the statues. but there's also another theory that the six 'angels' being set free in the eden cutscene (right before you begin your ascent to orbit) are the elders that got corrupted with darkness
the people in eden are the diseased who were led to the stars by the child of light
interesting o, i can get why gw has courage, wonder about the others
megannnngyfyifyifyif
TGC or here giving us more confusion with an orogin story than anything else
@broken basin thats the closest we have in the emojis
Oh and also , no Megan,
At least in mural ,
I wonder why
Nuttin
jackal jebus
there is that theory abt the statues being skid generations 1,2,and 3!!!
anubis is the god of the afterlife so i think it’s just making that connection
The prophets probably created the trials so that for the spirits to prepare for the prophecy
only prince succeeded in all
yes
also here be the fire trial mural if ya need it
Ah ok
what if the chronology goe slike this?
long tiem ago, darkness and light live in harmony. Balanced, no side are dominant on each other. That is until the stars fell
one of those fallen stars is an unique one. They have... ideas, brilliant thoughts that leave their peers in awe. maybe thats why they are chosen as the fallen's leader
but ideas are nothing but nonsense if there is no way to realize it. They have to esthablished their position as a leader, but how?
the Unique One thought and thought. And suddenly a briliant idea spark on their mind
The 4 Ancient Elements.
With those elements they can show their power as the true and one leader of all, while also making their brilliant ideas of a kingdom become true
Well, he's definitely not a Spirit since in the final scene we see him and all 4prophets doing their magic thing together to the element thing
The prophets probably created the trials so that for the spirits to prepare for the prophecy
only prince succeeded in all
@opaque mango this makes sense
The streak of yellow at the third brazier is the path to Orbit i think
I dunno if anyone has pointed it out yet
Well, he's definitely not a Spirit since in the final scene we see him and all 4prophets doing their magic thing together to the element thing
@broken basin in the timeline diagram he sent ancestors?
I'm talking about the questgiver
OH ok sorry
yeah meow, that's definitely the beam of light we see in eden from afar and after we just hugged the child
the elements were made for the prophecy thing
i think elders misused it?
Any thoughts on the big mural of the fire cutscene? To me it seems like for different "professions" you had to undergo different trials. Like builders would master earth trial, energy suppliers earth trial, boat builders water trials and warriors fire trial!
Hmmm
I remember the old theory about it being to test for the New King
Which is incheresting
Is it?? I thought it represented the end of water trial on the mountain
okay lads, you can see that the questgiver actually do something to summon the final mural
I feel like that theory of us being descendants of the prince in the mural is sensible
@brisk geyser meibe hug child is king or prince, since prince is one shiny boi
The child in eden is golden
Which is widely said to be the prince/king
The child in propehcy murals is golden,
Whose deeds also look like he's the same prince/King
What about the prince
interesting take sheorun
my own theory is that the prince (or whoever special glowy boi is) blessed the elders with the elements and therefore used those elements to enhance the other inhabitants of the kingdom
Prince??
@near moss thé glowing person
So is the prince still an active character?? Or is he ded
welp here be the fire trial mural if ya like
@brisk geyser maybe there is a difference in mastering one elment through a trial vs. mastering all of them to become prince/king?
limbo
prince is us?
maybe the child in the murals is the same child that we hug before our ascent in orbit 
The child in eden is golden
Which is widely said to be the prince/king
The child in propehcy murals is golden,
Whose deeds also look like he's the same prince/King
@broken basin which makes the we are descendants of him theory make more sense
Ish
WAIT DOES THAT MEAN OURSELVES?
Or the child we hug is the prince!
This boi
prince is us?
@opaque mango descendants more of, I got this from some other chats from above
I LOVE THAT GUYYYGHDGUDYUD
Fallen prince granting us his light again
@obtuse lark oh ye forgot that
so shiny boi
omgomgomg
@fast jasper there's the golden child in the middle? That's funny my murals don't have that
Yes ,i think the child who gathered all 4 wisdoms by completing the trails gave them to the Elders and then, ofc the elders were so thankful and fascinated that probably they thought he is the one who can lead the kingdom and finally the child was crowned?
yes that boi, maybe it's the prince, and if we support our theory that glowy child is the prince then they're the same person
hugging our sad ancestor after we die 
i mean the halo things only come after they did the trials
I saw from somewhere that the glows child in eden is our soul
So we lose it during eden
@tawdry star oooh maybe!! and considering there were other [perhaps dead] bodies in the trials (shown in murals), they didn't master their own element enough but this one child somehow mastered all. 
Like our grey body is a shell
Also, after giving the gathered elements , the child goes to eden with the vault elder to do something 👁️👁️
also isle elder be looking younger tho
hugging the prince. He helps is get back to the world after dying
build castle
@obtuse lark after we hug it, we go shiny, do it likes fuses????
Somewhat yeah
i don’t think we are descendants of the golden child i think we are the reincarnation of that golden child, in eden the spirits bow to us before we are gifted out wing buffs
@edgy sequoia yesh, i can agree to that
@brisk geyser indeed!
waitwait holupholup
||what if bob built the castle||
Bob le builder lmao
wait imma observe the mural more
I mean like, we are a copy of him, so not a descendant but a reincarnation
Oh my- what'd I miss the whole time I was dying in the giant blob of void
If y’all watch Steven universe, there is a wholesome scene where Steven hugs a pink version of himself, and fused together. That’s my take on this elder scene where we hug glory boy in eden
@obtuse lark yes su sghshhahshs
If y’all watch Steven universe, there is a wholesome scene where Steven hugs a pink version of himself, and fused together. That’s my take on this elder scene where we hug glory boy in eden
@obtuse lark YES
akakakj gLORY BOY
do we share a braincell euhshhwwh
Welp, I haven't finished the Fire Trial, but Ive seen the mural before and Ive got a doc of my interpretation of the lore
i changed my current status just for this 
Imma go fetch it cause its out now
So going off of that, we aren’t the prince, but he lives on through us
Somewhat yeah
anyone notice those 4 fallen stars
i belive those 4 stars will become the prophets
God the sighs of relief that must have come from every player who saw beta
@thin dirge pleaseee i wanna have a read
I have a suspicion that thats probably Prince and not King in the mural. It seems by then the GW has been thriving with technology, and Krills do seem to exist already, which goes against the order of when the elders fall from the sky at the start when you try out Sky
Prob the other golden figure at the start of Sky is the king then?
lol I guess it's a bug my mural misses the gold child
why do you guys think the prince and the king are two separate people?
why is teth blue, tsadi orange, and samekh cyan?
whywhywhy???
only ayin gets it right.....
and daleth is doing nothing!!!!!!!
im freaking out rn!!!!
what the... how,,, why?
Read the doc
the fire trial mural!!!!!
Again- please refrain from using the fanon names
I put all my heart and soul into it
why is teth blue, tsadi orange, and samekh cyan?
whywhywhy???
only ayin gets it right.....
and daleth is doing nothing!!!!!!!
im freaking out rn!!!!
what the... how,,, why?
@teal orbit I don’t think color matters
IT IS TIME FOR YOUR THEORY NOW
God the sighs of relief that must have come from every player who saw beta
haha, yeah. i've had these theories sitting beside me waiting to get told
Well, mainly my brain, I havent actually polished the doc
IDK ABOUT THEIR NAMES SO IM JUST WINGING IT
What’s it about
Red it
Thank you BUtter holy s
Read the whole thing
of course its abt the prince, @thin dirge... i made that theory long ago and bricky said be careful that could be a spoiler...
Its about my entire interpretation of the lore
It'll probably give answers that may mindblow you
Read the whole thing pls
i regret doing my new status
Like, all of it
i love connecting the dots
wait vault lady’s mask is broken in the mural
holdup
oh i definitely don't think color matters in the elements, i think it's based on the realms. since orange = fire, blue = water, yellow = earth, cyan = air (from the glow we see from the statues once we finish the trials), it makes sense for each element to be given there.
valley has air because there's flying involved. forest having water is self-explanatory (rain). wasteland having fire represents the courage of the entire environment considering there's a battlefield. and prairie has earth because it mainly consists of grass 
well they explains the scars/stains(?)
WELL THAT WAS A HECK OF A GLORIOUS ESSAY
Me looking at the murals for the 500th time:
My doc, or..?
That’s suspicious, that’s weirddd
YOURS BUTTERS- THANKS FOR SHARING
it probably represents the crack in vault's mask meerkat
now let me read butter's doc after doing my little essay on the elements 
okokok i get u butter...
Mhm well done.
I haven't touched the thing in ages
but heres my theory....
Also, this matches with forest = water/blue , praire=earth/green, valley=air/cyan and gw=fire/Orange or red
The doc I mean
according to butter, three of four elements got replaced in worng realms
only earth got the right place-
yes
why is teth blue, tsadi orange, and samekh cyan?
whywhywhy???
only ayin gets it right.....
and daleth is doing nothing!!!!!!!
im freaking out rn!!!!
what the... how,,, why?
@teal orbit but that was me...
flos...
why do i never get credit...
puts another water element in forest and then it suddenly gives a downpour like rain world
Is the water element the source of the death rain?
hail
ooo!
But that's because I left it unedited for a while
I see some similarities between tpn(manga) and sky
But most of it is pretty much my belief as to how the whole thing went down
Oh, I forgot to add a final thing
@teal orbit fam i was redaing butter's theory when you type it, i didnt read yours. sorry
Oh of course air is balance the air prophet gives u a handstand
I haven't edited the doc much from when I created it, so yeah
all of their emotes relate to their philosophies I’m screaming
I forgot to add something about Enchantment
The emotes are generally related to their realms
@limpid pebble legit thought earth's was suppose to be hygiene lmao
Im goimg to draw bye lore nerds 💝💝
I was gonna research a bit about the Enchantment murals to prove it, but I kept forgetting
About the Enchabtment murals
Aight good luck Boop-
anyways, here is my theory...
i go the same with butter on the first page, but the prophets made the trials to find the prince.... like arthur`s rock... and the prince solves it all, when all the pupils die...
so the prince gets a coronation and travels the realms making imprints to spread light around sky more... but the the prince gets corrupted and turns into the king... then the king grows a consience... and there is that smol part of hhim thats still good... so he blows up eden and his mech, ending his reign of terror.. now hes huddled in orbit regretting all the stuff he did and eagerly helping skids who r righting his wrongs...
earth prophet brushing off the dirt and moving on and continuing after that fall? Resilience!!!
Psst hey @limpid pebble, I heard there's a prophet somewhere that's very shy, but you didn't hear it from me 
godspeed youre gonna need it
guys...
oh ktjn call those soot clouds as shadows-
One of the murals in Enchantment strongly resembles the murals in Isle

came back from reading butter's doc and i literally had goosebumps at the near end of it. kudos to you! the four lights creating havoc in eden actually made sense, good theory 
my theory...
The one with the spirits and the umbrellas, with stars falling down
Butter the doc is good
But then is it actually true that the spirits (ancestors) in isle are the students? Spirits we have relived turn yellow upon reliving again. It could just be that tgc ran out of hairstyles
Thats a good point
I have a hard time believing that TGC would place this here as a coincidence
I have noticed that for a while
what evidence is there to support the theory butter?
im not being mean i just am curious rn
The hairstyles I mean
But what i fear is that those villagers might not even be the ones which we believe.
I mean we have seen so many times that other ancestors, whose memories aren't fully shown also have the same hairstyles and dresses. What i fear is that those pupils in the caves might just be random Villagers. But let's not ruin the stitched lore for now
@teal orbit support which theory?
Oh
wow
no no
That so charming doc actually
can you please include the murals you talk about in the doc though it would really help tie things together
what if golden wasteland is golden because of the fire element
Yeah prophecy one
plz give us evidence....
Oh wait
boy was that an essay
yeah all the murals you talk about in the doc can you add them to it?
For the Isle murals, there's always four ancestors shown
Ahh what kind of evidence? Detail with picture you mmean??
Always four

well done butter
Theres another theory that gw was once a forest but they industrialized the area and built factories. The fire mural at the prophecy cave entrance could be depicting them burning the trees
You guys need to be specific....
very well written

Okay- Butter, a favor
butter did you write that? its so amazing
Thanks
Start with the part where you say that the murals depict events from before Prophecy
I have two questions
- Why would they hide the lights?
- Why and how did the first sky kid came. There was no destruction in the kingdom yet. And as far as i know, skykids were made to return the lights back to the fallen by megabird after the kingdom was ruined.
I shouldve polished it more
but pls evidence.....
Yeahh
evidence plz....
I kinda briefly memtioned the evidence
butter all of the murals you mention in the doc can you add a screenshot of them? between or after the text so it is more comprehensive?
Maybe they hid them to avoid the death of all the others who attempted the trials
wut was it butter?
But the doc was actually a draft I planned to finish up, but I havent gotten to it
Oh hey Boop ya back already-
Some other people's take on the entrance murals. These pics dont belong to me
But, wait, those are villagers
Villagers are extremely different from sky kids
So parts are outdated, some not explained easily
I was kinda worried that I wpuld write too much
maybe they hid them due to the power it has? if i base it on butter's doc, each element holds a great amount of power and if it falls into the wrong hands then it can definitely cause a lot of chaos, so that's probably why the trials are challenging (just my take on it)
Wiat
Yeah, thats true
Only 3 in the first
But all the murals after that explicitly shown four
Even in Prophecy murals
Two murals who four ancestors
but folks.... the lights were caried by the ark and they still exist to this day... and they dont seem to have offensive capabilities in their stable state...
so we passed the trials. The same as the prince did in the past. So what does that mean about our connection to him??
Hmmm no detail can be shown....only those that totally veteran and understand the flow of story can show the evidence
guyguyguys
The lights in Enchantment are artifical, the four of those are kinda like an artificial version of the lights in Prophecy
Thats my explaination for that part
so im thinking the lightseeker lights were like cases to house the enchantment essense and when put together, they form the enchantment lights...
Hmm, i dont think the enchantement lights are connected to the elements of creation, maybe those are just the pieces/debris of the elemental light left
I mean, they're not connected in that way
Yeah, that's not a krill, maybe it's an elder manta
They're like, pretty much similar-
oh and it’s probably irrelevant but what’s the explanation for those orbs in isle cave. The one with the tiny boat??
Wait...
but only light creatures go there so not the krill
it can be a whale as well, but i'm leaning towards the cosmic manta right before vault summit
Is there four in the boat in Isle???
Yep, the krills crying in the corner
boop that looks like it could be the krill as well though
I think there were four lights in the boat of Isle
it can be a whale as well, but i'm leaning towards the cosmic manta right before vault summit
@brisk geyser bricky says the whale is neutral...
Idk if it’s four or three
there's a different drawing of the krill in the overall mural 
But there are some orbs in a boat
I mean, it might not be the cosmic one, maybe it's the normal elder manta?
Dang I'm mind blown my butter xhhdjsjssks
butter when you are finished with it please please add screenshots
guys how do we know the elemental lights r dangerous?
i need evidence plz someone plz

They are memory mantas , which makes me think if they are also just an illusion

I mean- ever tried messing with the elements
@mossy bay I was planning too
Wiki is not always correct
i don't think the enchantment lights are dangerous, cause if we base it on the season of enchantment timeline, all the lights restored the beauty of the ark 
“Wikipedia is not a viable source”
pyre we don’t know that they are dangerous it’s an assumption, what we do know however is that they are powerful and are very sought after.
Jdjdjs butters essay should be pinned hdhdjd
Honestly, there's a chance I may procrastinate from the doc tho
I mean- ever tried messing with the elements
@queen locust actually, we have... it gets thrown halfway acroos the realms and they r perfectly stable and they dont hurt anything in those forms....
Oh, we do see the gw elder fighting the fire light , so that's an evidence that it was dangerous
Also, didn't we see that the light burnt down a whole Forest,? Maybe that's why it's dangerous
i don't think the enchantment lights are dangerous, cause if we base it on the season of enchantment timeline, all the lights restored the beauty of the ark
@brisk geyser yes!!!!!!!!!
so then wut abt butter`s theory?
Maybe not the elements themselves- put into the wrong hands however, you could do some pretty terrifying things with them
What if the enchantment lights are sn example of the real lights power. Like how they should have been used according to butters doc
might be
Well, they're like prototypes of the actual lights. Knock offs or something like that
Its hard to explain it right...

Greatttt, I feel so much pressure now-
Oh, we do see the gw elder fighting the fire light , so that's an evidence that it was dangerous
Also, didn't we see that the light burnt down a whole Forest,? Maybe that's why it's dangerous
@broken basin wait tsadi fights the light?
and if u r talking abt forest, no. thats not wut happened.. the fire made the smoke and those r the clouds
No no no your paper was great
yeah. i think someone here recently mentioned that maybe the enchantment lights are the remaining amount of the elements, and they actually have beauty and good meaning to it (hence ark's restoration) but when too much AND in the wrong hands it can get out of hand
yes
good take boop 
@thin dirge the enchantment lights are the white light broken down and separated by the vault spirits into a synthetic version of the raw element?
but why do ppl keep saying " but when too much AND in the wrong hands it can get out of hand"
It might just be the example of how they would’ve impacted the world, how much good they could’ve brought
The reason why those lights restored ark is because they aren't the natural ones like the Prophecy lights
huh?
Besides, I'm thinking the lights actually corrupted the realms over time rather than immediately
Or am I not making sense again..?
the proph lights ARE the enchantment lights... except for the additions

@teal orbit
Well, noone is sure about what's true, i belive those are flames and there's smoke too, and the tree and burning. You can interpret it differently according to what you think and believe<3
besides prairie of course
Or am I not making sense again..?
@thin dirge kinda.. see... in sky, if it has light in its name its always good..... like ALWAYS
@teal orbit Nah, I dont think they are the same. They're pretty much the same elements, but the Enchantment are artificial while the ones in Prophecy are like, the natural ones from Megan
yea...
I can contrast the idea. What’s the use of hiding the prophecy lights with challenges if the enchantment lights are exactly the same??
they have to be different
so wait the proph lights r different from ench lights?
Well, maybe they were wrongly placed in enchantement and not in Prophecy
Didn't you say yourself earlier Pyre that those Enchantment lights had to have been made from the lights in Lightseekers?
Why hide one, but keep another out in the open??
Since soe events occured after sop events in a way
so there is no lore continuation from ench to proph?
By that logic they're different lights from those of Prophecy
@hushed steeple All of them are artificial, or tweaked lights. The Prophecy ones are the literal embodiment of the forces of nature.
so there is no lore continuation from ench to proph?
@teal orbit these is, a lot in fact
I...kinda explained it in the doc
The enchantment/prophecy lights arent the same i think
Esp when the enchantment lights' locations dont match the realms of prophecy lights depicted in the murals
sanctuary was kinda dead to me
About the connection between Prophecy and Enchantment
i heard a great call ring out in the skies...is it....the prophecy?
how is sanctuary included into the overall lore anyways 
right sorry I was gonna refer to Pyre Boop ahhhh
Enchantment and Prophecy, I believe are indirectly connected
What i wannna say is maybe the enchantement lights are the remains or debris of the lights of creation?
@brisk geyser Mamtas. Manta lore
ooohhhh so the man made enchantment lights threw everything off balance within the realms?
I think they’re just dupes of the real thing
ok soooo wuts the connection?
that- that was the connection-
@mossy bay Uh, no. It was the natural lights being messed with and put in the wrong place that made them messed up
Lmao
What i wannna say is maybe the enchantement lights are the remains or debris of the lights of creation?
@broken basin this?
The Enchantment lights were made in imitation of those original Elemental lights-
Mhm
I think the events of Enchantment were actually predestined or was intentionally made to happen
Well, I'm not gonna connect enchantement and Prophecy for now,
Maybe I'll try to 1st figure out what's actually happening in propehcy since there's so much we haven't discussed and comeback to the connection later
Prophecy? WHERE?! 
do we see the proph lights?
I think they were to show how the lights could have changed a corrupted land like ark into something beautiful. Or the restoration of the kingdoms
oh wait we do srry
@mossy bay Uh, no. It was the natural lights being messed with and put in the wrong place that made them messed up
@thin dirge but how did you come to that conclusion? how did the lights get messed up? the enchantment lights are the ones that we find around the maps though? not the raw original versions
Well, enchatement spirits were simple merchants and traders, it was just that while trading stuff they got in the storm
Also, they didn't originally have the lights, they traded them with the other ancestors. And if those lights were actually the lights of creation, i dont think people would've traded them so easily and woulve rather protected the lights.
Dod you remember this?
I thibk we now have proof.
It was a lie
@mossy bay They may be just artificial ones, but they pretty much function the same. Except, the Proph ones are more... natural elements and stuff
when the prince had his corronation, he was given the full power of all the elements... hence the mural..... so like after that the king was corrupted, he had lots of power....
i will now start taking shots every time we say that that Sanc mural is a bug
@boreal nebula I kept tell you all
It was a bug.
It was a mural bug from the proph murals
Well, we still don't know what's the "function" of the lights tbh
THERE'S MY FIRST SHOT RIGHT THERE
@thin dirge then i don’t understand how what i said was wrong? if the enchantment boat that was struck by lightening and allowed all the elements to release into the incorrect realm wasn’t it these elements that threw sky out of balance?
That enchantment boat was likely struck down by a krill, not lightning
i think that's a very wierd placement for a canon thing.
I mean, why, just why would the devs say "okay,lets cut the elders in half, and make tsadi attack the price and he's dead on the ground, ! Oh and let's put this in the most unthinkable place, a sanctuary cave"
Conclusion : its a bug, now take a shot
yup it’s a bug
Well keep going I like taking my water shots- staying hydrated is important
Lmao
@thin dirge but how did you come to that conclusion? how did the lights get messed up? the enchantment lights are the ones that we find around the maps though? not the raw original versions
@mossy bay That's exactly why I think it was intentional. In the murals of Enchantment, it shows there was a sudden rain of lights, similar to Isle murals. Its probably from Megan. Why? They would do that for a reason, Im sure. Plus, we wouldnt know that the lights were in the wrong locations if we never found the locations in Enchantment. Thats also important to consider.
I dont think its some dumb luck. We were meant to know where the lights were meant to be through Enchantment.
That enchantment boat was likely struck down by a krill, not lightning
@queen locust nah we see a storm hit the boat, the krill is only seen after the storm, and the way the mural is painted the krill could actually be at the beginning of the mural not the end
This could also mean we were predestined to come even while the King/Prince was still around
That lone krill being placed at such an inexplicable location would make me think otherwise but alright
plot twist: there is no lore. The devs just like to watch us flail and try to figure out the mysteries of the game that have no real purpose
That also includes the fall of the Kingdom
Just remember, whatever we see in Prophecy murals, all happened Before enchantement even existed, well, it happened even before the kingdom existed
wait but is the enchantment ark the same ark that was built using darkstone to protect the kingdom from the dark creatures? or is the enchantment ark just a normal one for merchants 
@brisk geyser Thats concept
Does the mini boat in isle prophecy sbout the ark coming??
i have seen your future, @split cairn, and... well, i won't spoil the surprise 
I mean- it's pretty small to be carrying the literal fate of a Kingdom
oh jeesus
ah yes but if we incorporate that are they different? i'm not good with the lore here 
And with the new enlightment the last murals gave us I can finally declare my long secret theory
Among these prophets' students this one I was cosplaying is the Prince!
Chosen By Trials!
That's nice dude
What if these are random villagers and not the spirits we think they are
That tiny boat in isle must have some connection to the ark right?? It has like three orbs in it too
Since many other people in sky whom we sort of see in memories had similar hair and dresses
I would assume that those students arent the spirits
Similar to that survivor, but his/her hair has spiky points
which made me think of a "crown"
spirits are eternal. I think those are the spirits
Yeah, now even think they are random spirits and not the specific ones which many think
I'm still skeptical about those not being the same spirits- again, from deliberate design choice logic
So I’m really behind on the convo and haven’t finished Butter’s essay yet, but if the proph orbs came first and made the different realms the way they are, then the ones in enchantment are definitely copies. They even have an alchemist who was experimenting with fixing the water, although I can’t come up with why the og orbs ended up where they are. I’ll check butters doc rn, sorry if this is just repeating earlier stuff, I skimmed through earlier messages
I mean yes they're spirits but not the ones we assigned they're just random
Wait where do we see the proph orbs except in the murals? Do we, at all?
Indeeed, I agree, they are different
the same shapes of the elemental lights can be seen in ark murals
i'm gonna have to do a lot of reading after i'm done eating aren't i-
Have fun guys I'll be back ajsjahj
There’s the “eye juice”, does that count? Some of the og orbs might be powering the stuff in the trials
Ever since the Twirling Spirit came as TS I noticed that IF a fellow spirit appears in another spirit memories it is golden
Could be, notice how the diamonds in earth trial are green as opposed to blue/yellow in the other areas of sky
if only @broken basin had listened...
Skybot what
it’s a sign
Wait, why did this happen, now i gotta type it again?
go eat
😭
low key I wanna eat
to make myself clear, at the end of Twirls champions spirit, there are 3 spirits, one is definetly the proud tourist stance spirit (the one with the baby on top of ice rink) because at the time I already unlocked its wingbuff and it was golden the first time I relived TS memories
Skybot why, i DIDN'T even say something against the filter
But it’s four in the morning and my parents would not approve
To supplement @boreal nebula
i think the lights from prophecy (but not exactly those specific lights we see) were turned into light orbs by lightseekers, then the lightseekers shared this knowledge with the enchantment spirits who then turned the lights into elemental orbs
But have you ascended those spirits??
no every realm has a light and that makes 6
SOO, if we see a spirit similar to another (like my theory prince) similar to another (black cape survivor) but not colored as golden (wingbuff) one, then they are definetly different spirits
YES, thank you @slender raptor
You mean why weren’t those spirits golden in the prophets memories??
cause thats an interesting theory
guys... did we decide the proph lights were dangerous?
I still think so. But dangerous in what way??
it’s either they’re the same, but since they have different models/are in different ages, they are not golden or they’re completely different tho i would rather believe they are different
yes
Like “shouldn’t get into the wrong hands” dangerous or “we’ve gotta protect the people” dangerous
we think they are extremely powerful
the spirits with umbrellas aren't SoE's but SoL spirits. They are searching for the white light. When they found it, they give it to vault scholars to research about it and they find out that it's made out of many coloured lights (since all the colours mixed up make white). So, that's where SoL ends. But in the meantime, SoE spirits were going to wasteland (maybe the spirits there had called for help. Since they can do magic, they thought, SoE spirits could make wasteland a good place. But their magic wasn't powerfull enough to defeat the darkness of the wasteland. Then, ask for help from the vault scholars who then tell them about the lights. (I think that as you said, they must have collected something in the way to trade the light for. So, then the splitted lights were given to them. Now When they were going back to wastland, the storm got them this time. I cant decide whether they fell becuase of the storm or did the krill attack them since it was attracted to light. But before, when they sensed the trouble to the lights, they used the catapult to lauch the lights one by one into the realms, since they were very intelligent , and had travelled thoroughly through all the places. They were able to set the direction and power to get the lights at least in the safe places or at least away from the danger. And then they crashed when the storm/kri attacked.
What i wanna say is that the location of SoE lights was random and the propehcy locations are the true ones. Also those lights aren't actually the propehcy ones as far as i believe
anything that is powerful that gets in the wrong hands becomes dangerous
protecting the lights from who tho. From someone who might use it badly or from the commoners
Or would the commoners use it badly??
I still think so. But dangerous in what way??
@split cairn my take is that they r dangerous as in tempting and the great power they yield can lead a good guy like the prince to a road to become the king...
the latter^^ the king became corrupted for some reason or another
like since he got fused with the elements or summin on his coronation
hmm h the power got to his head
granted ful acces might be more right
Vault Of Knowledge 
yes fire boi that
But we completed the trials didn’t we?? What does that say about our connection to him

@broken basin the catapult thing is prob wrong but everything else is the same as my theory..
or are they no longer valid since the power has already been claimed??
But we completed the trials didn’t we?? What does that say about our connection to him
@split cairn i think we r a shard of the prince or his mech or summin and since we r a shard, it wears off after the trial
or maybe.....
i think the trial is an illusion? we are reliving the golden childs experience not ours
of course
Oooo good theory
That would explain why we meditate at the statues. It’s like we’re given a vision of their experience
and why we don’t have a cape
Does anyone have ideas on why there is a golden child, literally, at the end of trials
the prohets prob learned a valuable lesson and when they reopened the cop, they only gave skids a taste of the elements, not the full access
oh and the prince leaves imprints of himself in places he likes
@slender raptor
Is that the wl we collect among the realms??
yes
The imprints of the child of light
he is the child of light
Under this logic does it mean that the prince left his footprints as the wl wherever he went
But then is our entire experience just his memories??
our journey meeting with the spirits to go and learn
no we are reliving his memories but with an unbiased standing
And under this logic
We collect the wl
Yeah, maybe he either relived spirits too or that’s how he remembers the different spirits?
The fact that the cape star pattern is his head makes me think of how we are supposedly bringing his memories back to eden
that’s the call
The symbol
It all resembles the crown on his head. Is he the one guiding us
maybe the child of light had the exact same purpose as us though? to carry home and guide lost spirits back to eden? the spirits that we relive are the ones that were left behind
I mean, summarizing whatever above
- prince = child of light
- prince leaves “footprints”: imprints of the child of light = wl
- we collect wl and bring them to eden, shooting them back into orbit
Then die to find even more and redo the process
there must have been a period where the prince became too consumed by the glory and power he gathered over time which in turn made him corrupt maybe he wanted to stop the link between this world and eden to quit the process of reincarnation he wanted to stop the cycle
Man I missed Lightseeker talk it looks like-
The plot thickens
Wait folks... wut? The prince was a separate guy... we r a piece of him prob, but we have our own story and thats to clean up the princes mess...
one question. Is prince evil??
No
corrupted perhaps
So I read that I gotta lit up the pots to see the shiny boi after the fire trial. Welp... Time to head back to the cave for me.
No one really knows?
but then theres the king
Its like an anakin vader kinda thing
The alignments are... iffy
Corrupted to me means evil lol
and then in some way shape or form he managed to do it with the red diamond in eden which particularly turned eden into a nightmare instead of a passageway, dies in the process and ends up reincarnated anyway and now we’re here his reincarnation viewing the death and destruction he caused
Guysguysguys the king and the prince r the same guy and when tbe prince got corronated on eden the power all wnt to his head and he made a giant mech and did bad things... as i said, its anakin and vader
Then again- that too's just a theory
Yes
Not gonna say I disagree though, the coronation part intrigues me
mech?
sure.....
Oh my god
instead of getting coronated with a crown he got a whole freaking mech
whos vader
Oh hey Gab
?
Hi virdi
Ye the mech
I just completed fire trial
Star Wars? The guy dressed in all black-
ohhh
@wispy cedar your name is bob and u dont know VADER? why does noone know vader?! No offense
How...
Not bob, boba
Omg so many more murals
@wispy cedar your name is bob and u dont know VADER? why does noone know vader?! No offense
@teal orbit i know him bruhh i just forgot his name also my name isnt bob
Srry typo
Mech is the last one pictured??
Boba
nvm i like the name bob now
I mean- boba as in boba tea is viable
Or like what cause I’m lost
Not necessarily Boba Fett
@wispy cedar your name is bob and u dont know VADER? why does noone know vader?! No offense
@teal orbit wate sorry you mean darth vader? Sorry I am confused
Ik virdi
because really who even knows Boba Fett anymore
I was making a point virdi
Omg I had boba once and I died. Those balls are not my favorites
ANYWAY
Omg where do I start with the new murals
Wait wut virdi?
ok not appropriate
Where were we-
Stopppppp
murals
Theory-wise
The mandalorian season 2 is comming out and boba is all overvthe place!!! Wut dya mean virdi?
I'm just gonna send these pics I took-
Oh look a krill
My will to live not pictured
@split cairn if you zoom in on the pic that forgetmenot sent earlier you can see an outline of a child in the King's face
So your theorizing the king is a mech??
mech made specifically for king
We call it the vader mech now lol...
I wish
King mech
The king is prince+mech imo
kuscos poison
But the prince is bad by the time he turns into the king
Our purpose is to restore his mess
SHOOT
Yall get wut i was saying hours ago
Whattt
Okay so- lemme get this straight. So the king got a mech, to restore the mess that the king made?
IT ALL CLICKD MAN IM DUMB
No
The king in the mech led to the mess
Basically like SU with ||Pink Diamond & Steve||n?
The king got a mech did bad stuff, and then he did a redemption and blew up eden so now we gotta deal with the side effects and we need to clean it up
I love Steven universe
I feel like the prince is not evil
Idk Star Wars references
The prince us good
dumb it down for me brotha
Is good not us
I thought... theres no redemption? The eden thing was part of the bad things he did
The prince is good then he went rogue, got a mech and did bad things
Basically the Prince is a bright-eyed person with dreams and ambitions and the King is him but older, jaded, and most definitely won over by the dark side
So the prince is evil is what I’m hearing
I feel like there where civilians in eden (fallen) and the mech just blew it up its not a redemption
so what
The skids in eden arent before the explosion i think
So like eden was the death star
I still don’t get why we are physically connected to an evil figure
Or mordor
theyre taking the skids to ISENGARD
We r pieces of the king
You guys keep making references to stuff idk, so it’s like a spiritual journey or something??
Not necessarily- I think what Pyre's tryna say here is that we're the Prince's redemption arc
And we r on a mission to do wut the king started when he finally turned good...
Oh he turned good??
- the prince is not evil, the king is
- the king/prince being us is actually only a theory, some still insist that prince/king are separate entities
- skids are vessels of light
I’m missing the details y’all
Yes when he blew up eden
except there's nothing left to redeem because apparently we slept through the entire disaster
Lol after complete fire trial and see those last murals i thought we have to visit elder spirit again ... but then nothing happen
No we aren't evil the king was evil and we are parts of him trying to redeem the bad things the king did
Thank u so much virdi
U summarize everything i say so well
So we are the good fragments of him??
More like the parts that realized they screwed up
Yeah
and are tryna pick up the pieces
Yup
sorry for being such a bother guys. I’m so much effort 😑
It's okay dude
Its okie
The king turned back good, blew himself up, his soul is huding in eden ascending us
Nobody is a bother at lore chat we are just trying to solve this confusing game
I think we are him, but a reincarnation made by megan, as a punishment, to at least unite all the elders back. And then, we are Trapped in a never ending cycle of death and rebirth, while the elders and ancestors ascend and return to their home.
A punishment?
If anything skids are just curious children following what we’re told to do, they’re purely innocent in this context I believe
I always thought we were separate entities
Yes, a punishment for all the good stuff we did when we were the king
Immortality sucks dude- that's possibly the worst punishment you could give someone
Like completely separate only there to fix his mistakes.
Oh of course the skids dont remember they were once the king
But like not from him
I thought we were the redemption, to help clean up the mess he made for eternity
Yes
Imagine reliving your death over and over and all your citizens get to ascend and come back to the light but you never end up going
Thats wut u r trying to do
Thats messed up
this game is messed up
life is messed up-
Idk when I first played the game. I thought we were like a recruitment the team from the elders
Or at least- you do, you get a taste of peace for a moment, but then you're yeeted back to life
@teal orbit they don't, but we aren't taking from skids perspective, we are talking from the viewers perspective.
U dont rest till u saved em all
We were supposed to collect the fallen spirits and bring them back “home”
Even if you do, you're still reborn aren't you?
Thats orbit
Even if you save them all, the cycle keeps repeating and you always end up in the kingdom back again
Fire boi, u remember the opening cutscene, the place they fell from is home in this case
That's a samsara
Samsara?
Mhm I remember
is it confirmed we are a direct reincarnate to the prince? I was thinking we might be a diff generation or 'species' not under the line of the Prince, but probably the prince might have given us some powers
U will never save them all
Not confirmed Fierying- simply speculation
Fierying, its just a rlly rlly probable theory
I thought we were angels of some sort. On a mission to save the spirits.
I kinda think re birth is a reward... Like I feel like its saying " good job you freed your ppl you redeemed yourself. You will be reborn to enjoy life without guilt as a prize"
makes sense?
Like we worked for the elders
I have a pic from Tom Zhao where he explained the timeline. May I share here?
I was thinking, ok me, time to save more guys... prince if u will kindly open the door to orbit for me?
Skids are called “descendants”. We may not be the same species as the Ancestors (spirits)/ elders
Go right ahead Pokemon Jesus
, re birth is a punishment imo, a reward would've been "good job, now you'll be free from the cruel world and will become a star like Elders"
Anvestors arent related to elders
I knew the king was evil. But I thought he was gone and not “active”
It's not clear though
This timeline is said to be very veeeery old
The reward would have been eternal rest
irl too, rebirth is considered more like a punishment for bad karma (but idk if sky has all that karma and stuff cause definitely the king had a ton of bad karma😂)
Actually, megan is like the creator and spectatir and pusher of the start button... if mefan had intervened in any wat, the krill are gone... so rebirth is not a punishment cuz its self motivated... like a job u do and feel proud of yourself for doing...
Like firefighting
But cery very very painful
Imo, megan is the creator, the destroyer, the punisher, the preserver, the everything.
No
That's why i said "imo"
Maybe we are pieces of the king kept being reborn not lifting the guilt off our shoulders by eternal rest. We are forced to save the fallen who we killed as a punishment. for eternity
If megan intervened, why is gw so evil? Why r there still krill? Megan is prob watching from afar like this us a tv show
Megan just kinda plopped us here, told us where to go, and that was it right? We only ever see her in orbit
i have come for season of prophecy's lore 🤤
We were created by the Megan as a seperate race to fix all the mistakes and restore the kingdoms
Welcome Lynsa XD
Right???
we're still confuzzled-
xD heya
Prob not megan... the prince
I think it's cause Megan is more like a god, and like irl too, many have painting and statues of god, and god doesn't visit the world itself (but ofc by this i dont want to offend anyone irl, with all the god existing or non-existing stiff)
We are talking bout the king but here u can examine this
But if she’s the creator, then she created us
who is megan? :0
Megabird
Mhm
ahh
have you lit the pots for the murals? @meager canyon
Huh
i thinkwe should switch to calling megan megabird and the elders "'Realm' elder" instead of lamed, daleth, ayin ,etc
Those are butterfly pots
Nah they both mean the same thing no matter what we call em@broken basin
But it’s just an easier reference for the newbs like me
Yeah- but we're gonna have to refrain from using them to avoid confusing newcomers
Megan doesntbinterfere in anyway... we r not forced to be reborn... re can rest in orbit for as long as we want, but instead, we get reborn and save more skids and styff cuz thats the right thing to do and we get ascended candles as a thank u from all the spirits we save
No, it's actually been addressed by (i think some dev or mod) to not call elders using the old concept names
Ktjin iirc
They are just short cuts giving our poor fingers a tiny break
Yes
Those are butterfly pots
@broken basin nah, they look like cauldrons
Well anyways I don’t get why we’re connected to the prince/king whatever
Still- it isn't like we're not allowed, but we should minimize the use of the fanon names
Well I get the just calling the Megabird as it is because otherwise we give it a gender when it’s a god and the old concept names can be confusing and aren’t canon but I bet vets have been using the terms for a while
We look exactly the same
What i mean, is that since ktjn has said that, we better start switching
We could be clones of the prince too...
Megan created us to save the realms
i remember reading a theory that we are fragments of the Prince
From the mess HE made
In the prarie mural, i think that's just prairie elder trying to attract the butterflies and putting them in the pots
I mean I could call valley fred and George but like it might confuse ppl
petition to call forest elder Melinda
The prince prob made us to clwan up his mess CUZ MEGAN DOESNT INTERFERE
And isle elder Don
This is too confusing...
I think Megan did interfere
Cant they just pin the fanon names?
SHES the maker of all right
Wasteland would be hagrid-
Who else would have the power to make entities
why hagrid? 🤣
The megabird is the nirvana-style (what i mean is “the highest form of existence”, ay im not so familiar with this term, someone destroy me if i incorrectly used it) god, not the biblical sky father / greek gods god
In the atheist sense megan is the big bang and the matter itself, but other than making things exist they have no effect on stuff.
Fireboi, for the hundredth time, if megan interfered, why do krill exist?
If they were constructs, perhaps- they wouldn't need that much divine intervention
Wut forget me not said
If we talking bout mithology, unless its norse im outa here
Gtg eat I'm gonna check back soon byeeee
Ok...
Aight see ya Gab
Lets hear him out
Megan is the god. She created all of life.
Prince king or whatever is Lucifer in a sense
Lucifer?
lucifer is a demon tho?
Who dat?
Basically the big man downstairs- Satan
Even though Megan might’ve made the krill and anything else perfect, Lucifer (devil) corrupted everything
oohh
Actually, karen is lucifer
That suggests that the krill were intentional, fire boi
Wait do you mean like fallen angel lucifer, or pure evil interpretation?
Megan made the prince too, but he could’ve corrupted the krill, crabs whatever
King is just a poor mortal
Yeah like fallen angel
lucifer is corrupted king?
At least that’s what I was thinking
Karen is lucifer folks
Well, i remember there's something said about light and darkness coexisting, forming an ecology.
MEGA KRILL is lucifer
So it's possible krill existed alongside light creatures 
Or forming a balance
Huh...
Also megabird's creations
Okay then Megan and king are both rulers
Yeah, maybe since we see it in the propehcy murals
i feel like the creatures in trial of fire are like ancient krills without eyes
But why doesnt megan contact us anymore?
Maybe?? I wouldn’t take me too seriously if I were u folks
and here I was thinking the things in the trial were just eyes with smoky ghost tails
Lynsa, u can say dark worm now... i think
xD okay
Maybe she does tho. It would explain the call we get. The way that we are always being guided
I coined dark worms ppl....
In a way we are ther to restore the balance
We get a call from "the light", i.e. , eden or maybe orbit
A few months later, i cansay im the dud that first used the word sark worm...
The light = orbit
“The light”. home. Megan
Ok folks gtg bye~~~
Aight see ya Pyre
Byee
if sky has a profession/class system like an mmorpg, i'd totally become a historian who stays in the cave of prohecy, studying the murals
byee pyre
Same here- but we'll have to stick with the real life version for now XD
xD
class system would be cool.
I have no real talents tho soooo
I like to think I’m sneaky
Oh don't say that- you're here aren't ya?
😂
We're all advocates of critical thinking lmao >:333
That 2.3 gpa came in clutch
anywho- I never got to the brunt of the mural talk so-
mhm
Apparently
I haven't finished the trial just yet so I'm not that sure-
Those four figures near the top of the mountain- are those the Prophets or?
I’m not sure
also dang Eden is a long freaking castle
I think they do represent the prophets
If so, they sure look like they're having fun on the Vault's elevator lmao
Ahah
I do wonder why there's a krill of all things off to the side there-
Wait if they’re going up, what if they’re going to cousel with the prince
it's ominously out of place
If the prince is the one pictured
And the prince/king Idek is in eden
Then maybe it’s like they’re informing him of something
ok did anyone managed to finish the fire trial and get the last cutscene ???
if so, wot happened???
A warning. That they didn’t listen to
I uh- never finished the trial-
I did
/uh oh
|-o;; oh boi
uh I have the vid of the final cutscene if anyone wants
There's a big mural
/the trial iss herre????
Featuring all the elders
Good morning to you too Jen-
/where shall i go now?
hold on lemme crop the last part out
the fire trial Jen!
Git gud in the fire trial Jen
/I CANT Play till saturday aaaaaaah
seriously I have many questions regarding that pic Apollo sent
Oof
it’s aight if I can send the final cutscene here right?
yes pls aksjkajkjka
I was legit just waiting for it to go live it technically isn't a spoiler for me anymore
sorry my wifi is kinda slow rn so it’ll take awhile
O yea, I noticed that the mural aint finished yet
hmm i think its best to avoid this channel if you do not wish to be spoiled
/well, imma leave to avoid spoilers- have fun tho
Yup me two
me three
OwO
Specifically the part near the end where there’s like so many candles
Hold on....the beta version has the prince/king in it...tho for this one
where did he go????
seriously what happened to him?!
Did you do the trial??
I was like, wait where- wut?
yes I did, Apollo
I did the trial, early beta and live
after you do it, you have to light all of the pots on the floating rocks
I don’t have a pic of them, but when you do the murals are completed
Yeah it’s so cool
Send pics J XD
thx Apollo, imma dash back to Sky
I remember seeing theories about 11th wedge design here. It broke my heart TGC missed this important event
Oof
big oof
I'll do it later but thank you for the telling Apollo
I’m not even at 10 yet
same here rip
rip 
Mhm np
I always dreamt of having the belonging symbol on my back
so does anyone know what any of the murals mean cuz I wanna know the lore except for the fact that i have half a braincell
That's a weirdly specific yet relatable dream
ONG MOTH BIG MOOD
im omw to the murals to take more pics
perhaps the history of how the elders and ancestors contributes to the overall world of Sky?
do send
Please indeed send I kind of suck at taking pics
it's a hike
tgc has the wedge ui prepared, they’re still working on the 3d wedge representation though
It’s a whole trek
so many s t a i r s
hmmm though it does wonder as to why the certain someone wouldn't appear unless you have to do those things in order for him to, well , appear
STAIRS!!
Right
He made us work a little extra for it smh
are beta stuff off limits here?
Those directions weren’t really clear to me. I only found out through friends
Yep- can't talk about Beta until it's live
gen chat came up with the theory that the fire prophet is actually hagrid
proof:
• very big is probably half giant
• has a lot of dangerous pets he cannot see anything dangerous about
that is all bye
do the prophets afraid of someone, or somebody who wish to know of the missing figure?
Maybe they covered him up?
i'm too tired to think rn so yall good for now
and since 11 wedges is possible in live now i think it was okay to mention the 11th wedge stuff- but anything that’s still only possible in beta or is only in beta can only b in beta channels yeah
getting clickbaited by the prophets : emotional: gone wrong
hmm...had a feeling the Vault Elder has to do with this
I think I saw earlier in Butters' essay that they covered up the Prince's place
and the prophets in general
How so Mii?
Butters essay was so good
Explained so many things and they really connected the dots
I was lost anyways
I GOT THE PICS!
Was worth the entire time she teased us about it kjsjajk
Wait, since when are 11 wedges possible?
Yayyy pics!
AYYYYYY THANKS J
Noice
Heading their way here, sending...
full send
