i tried flying there
like I can see you're on a statue but
i just got knocked into the water
Big oof
Idk how to explain
Ohhhhh that place-
if there is no wind wall trying to fly there is nearly impossible
imagine its just land being risen up
Also it does kinda look like a factory
or its just
a wall
I've always wondered what the heck it was
Ever since I went to that area for the first time
It's just..... There
In the distance
Almost as if....
There's a reason why it's there
ship dock?
ye
Guys do any of you know the instrument the spirit was carrying?
was the dock always there before enchantment
From the new season spoiler
@austere olive pretty sure
Someone went there before, itâs an old meditation place
If u search up sky light awaits u might be able to see it
have people already discussed the lore for prophecy and can i get a run through of it
@sly kestrel Oh thank you
old beta leftovers
Do u know in sky ask and answer program last year or I don't know when, some said there is a white dot just like somebody light up SOS torchlight
In that far away island
But....
Unfortunately that just a bug
Hm
But the Devs let it be there to be just like an Easter egg
Cool
fun
there is another island if i remember
nah home space is the cutscene one
Ye
in GW yes
Where is other one
i think its the first area you can see it idk i have forgotten
but the pipes and stuff makes it look more like a factory
Distant islands in gw that you can't go to are so ominous
If that's even the right word
Prob not
Just a creepy vibe to them
Any reason why the sanctuary island is shaped like a crescent moon
Manta swallow the sand and Bush Bush away to create moon Island coz she can't fly up to the moon
Ah ye like manta too
!
Yes
maybe those archipellagos once a large island
but gor submerged in water
Maybe
chain of tiny islands
uhh ngl same my english is bad either
Same
water in sanctuary is so shallow though
does anyone understand the lore for sanctuary i wasnt here for the season
whats the thing with the bells and spirits
eh basically just a buncho tourists and tom nook
sanc dosent have much stuff
big manta is fun and silly
dont know how does a elder manta keep going into the shallow waters like its nothing
sanc has sunglasses tho
sanc has timid bookworm
with that timid/shy stance
and their hair
and their cape omg their cape
lol i love timid bookworm sksksksks
what are the smoke guys in fire trial
we don't know but some of us call them dark worms
are th orange things supposed to be eyes

There are some theories saying that the smoke-worms are baby krills. Some says they're not real (aka, nothing in trials is real) and some says that they're another dark species.
i like the idea that trials exist in the subconscious, like that one game
awh whats it called again
Assassins creed?
Superliminal maybe?
Hey everyone! Has anyone noticed how we have a âlight gemâ thingy on the centre of our sky kid? When we take out our candle , itâs not there anymore. I think its the âlightâ inside us, that is , weâre the children of light so.. also in our shadows our cape does not appear. I think itâs because the cape is powered by light and light cannot cast a shadow. Which is also the reason we lose our cape when we lose all our light. What do guys think? Iâm new to the lord channel.
yeah
Yep
for fire trial wormies i think itâs a weaker dark creature, bc jenova chen said its essence of darkness. they are formed just material enough but cant gain strength so they can be used to train initiates
Yea I think so too. Maybe thatâs why they canât make us lose winged light , but the krill can.
Is a turret
Excuse the head but why the outer ones arenât activated
But the ones on the building activated
King is watching you from afar đđ
Hello new Lore Moff!

Credits to Bricky :]
P.S. Always check the pins, theyâre cool.
Oh thank u ! :3
no problemo
Guys is this the kid from the prophecy cave 
possibly
Yeah
Its color is different
It looks like the kid that we hug in eden
And it's a fallen star based by the memory
So it's a stid (star + kid, I guess)
are skids fallen stars
the king is... flat
It looks like any capeless skid who isn't lit up
Yeah but it lookslike a player
Oh
lmao
Nice, king is a flatty patty
Hm
notice the... uh, idk the english lmao, on the chets part
what-
oob?
Nooe its not
Yes
Is king anywhere else in any other kingdoms?
I'm pretty sure its everywhere
Yes but only wasteland
There are king symbols/statues everywhere
Well, there are some King propaganda I think
In every realm
But they're most noticable in GW
Yea
King kinda gives me horror movie vibes
We don't know if their good or bad
quute the inpeccble timing if I may lmao
I no brain what is propaganda
Perhaps because GW used to be where the spirits lived (ehem, according to some person's observation: When you go to the race, it will say something about race down the whatever and the city gates will open you. At the end, was an arena so perhaps GW was a city where people used to live/work in)
The thing that makes you blindly support one person/party
Lki
Prolly the reason why GW has a lot of King propaganda
Basically advertisement but if you were in war
Hm
I also said that theory about gw being a city lmao
Golden Wasteland and Valley were once the one realm iirc
Ah yes. I still believe it used to be kingdom
ye, Golden Valley
I still don't get that theory
Hmm maybe king is just the symbol used to wasteland to show the light side of the war
In*
Was there a light side to the war?
I don't think it's as simple as just a light vs dark war
There is proof for a light vs dark
Or just a war against everyone
If it were a war against krill don't you think the barricades you find in battlefield to be pretty useless
I don't quite believe krill where apart of the war.....
wifi terrible
They'd just fly over them and that's to say nothing of their inherent strength
you see the thing on the chest part
Then who- pray tell- is your dark side
Me?
Well ye
all around me are familiar faces...
I am confusion
Maybe krill were like an offensive tank used by the dark side
also krill have helicopter sound-
@bitter shale 
somehow I seriously doubt that krill would submit to anybody
ye, me too
fam i just got krilled 5 times when i try to go to that king statue... i know their sound well
I-
I know I joke about krill wrangling but really krill are too powerful for the spirits
scoliosis shrimp
Of creatures
I used to believe that wasteland was with king and then later betrayed him, since I also used to believe gw and forest had war I believe forest wasn't with king. The rest I'm not sure but Im not quite sure of all of that now
There aren't any guarantees when it comes to krill
Then you can't really consider that a dark side?
Light side used whurtles and maybe mantas, whereas the Dark side was more offensive and used crebs and shrimp
If it was a civil war I don't think you can simply relegate it to a light vs dark matter
pog
I'm not sure with anything now
In eden
Death room
We can see
There are 2 kiddos
One is dark
And other is light
I don't believe there used to be a good/bad I used to believe that king was bad but not we are not sure
Someone suggested
I don't think that has anything to do with the war
That everyone (aka humans in sky) are made of part light and dark
Some have
More light in them
And some have more dark
If you are implying this part of the game is a hint to the war, I see where your getting this from. But we see them both getting along
So maybe that's the division between light and dsrk
humans in sky?
Ancestors actually
the chest part
Uhh spirits and sky kids are "humanoids
ik man
Sky kids make for even less of a case for human-
Ok then they are just humanoids
Their structure looks human but their absolutely not
;-;
mhm

But,,ancsestors can technically be referred to as the "humans" of the game to make it simple
Ugh I'm gonna call them humans cause its simple
k bruh
Ok so
Maybe the dark side won the war ( looking at the current state of wasteland)
But then
Where could they have gone?
Hmm anyone have anything to suggest 
Everyone lurking?
Nah- mostly I just have questions
and even then I need to find a way to articulate them smh
I have a question
Why is the swamp white-ish in the cave in golden arc but itâs dark anywhere else
Is this lore related or TGC just said yeet and put it here?
I think TGC just said yeet yeah
/which swamp???
U know when u head into that cave far back
With the crabs and that one wl
The water is super pale
Compared to Normal bog water
might be due to lighting
or the water is different from the usual gw water since the ark is farther away from mainland
/also they can clean it
đ
Looks dirty water rather than the usual "Ooze" that we see normally in GW and Eden
yay i love spoiler land
Hello im new here, just wondering if is there an official lore of sky and where i can read :3
I guess the girl is the new questgiver

so since prophecy is almost ending what are yall thoughts and theories about the lore?
So that's means we can wear yeti costume 
Maybe the kids (wl) were like fallen kids and the spirits were trying to rescue them and that explains the trials i guess ;-;
I guess the girl is the new questgiver
![]()
@empty nest capeless!
wait ur on to sumn

Hmmmm maybe something diffrent this time as ultimate 
Iâve not looked into any of the lore in this game but I was checking out the spirits in Isle and I noticed that almost all of (by that I mean two) spirits in there are teachers of some sort
That was a
moment for me
Correct me if im wrong, so the reason there are spirits down there is because they went to low from where they once came?
no idea Fam
The order of the realms feels more like a timeline to me
I read a bunch of the stuff in pins a few minutes ago and this is what I think:
The Isle of Dawn is when pioneers first started exploring the land and worshipping dem elders
Daylight Prairies is when âtechnologicalâ discoveries were being made (the gathering of light, creation of bells) but worship of the spirits was still a big thing and nature was important (that worshipper spirit, the abundance of creatures of light which help guide and carry the light children throughout)
Hidden Forest had more technological breakthroughs (those fancy bridges and many lanterns and buildings around) but natural light was becoming more scarce (and also that stuff I read about wood and dark stone fusion)
Valley Of Triumph is where society was flourishing thanks to all these advancements and the people were mostly prosperous but there was an absence of creatures of light and similar nature things
Yeah, each realm is meant to represent a stage of civilisation
Wasteland is the fall, Vault is when they leave knowledge for future generations to fix the past mistakes of the pervious generations
Yeah! Its pretty cool!
I also never really paid attention to the spiritâs stories the first times I went through them
Some are pretty depressing...
I noticed 
I want to know what happened to the fallen kid in the Isle of Dawn
And the fam on the boat
Ye
I said earlier Iâve never looked into it
I usually just wander around and explore every nook and cranny

Originally from Brick
the crying emote spiritâs story is pretty sad and I just noticed it recently omg
Her hair was my very first not-free hair
this breaks my heart everytime ngl
another glass of water everyone, don't go gen chat pls-
To be fair it's kind of hard to tell when we're starting to veer off
I took a discord friend to get them the crying spirit and once they got the emote what they said was
âThis game...Wowâ
And just hdkgu
lore, pls
Also I see we have some new faces here- welcome!
we'll get them next time lmao
yeah im new to lore
I'm just gonna drop this here, it's the first two lines of the opening text translated to my Sky language, with grammar etc.:
RenatÄnor onesteltyi, arĂ n lasedent naleno' renalith.
Lor dan pelnum na-erennè, ton nĂ -lestoren renatÄâŚ
With the stars united, our light was infinite.
But darkness came, and the stars fell...
Welcome to the brain cell juicer family lmao
Yes, where lore consumes our brain juice every 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 second
Oh hey thanks Acorn- got not idea what language that is tho
it's a made up language
woah
oh-
I'm developing it
cool
O h- awesome!

I remember there was one topic we kinda left hanging btw
Could the war have been happening around the same time the Eden boom happened and the krill only infested the lands then?
Eyo wassup lore peeps
Heya Flos
hallo Flos
I-
Anyway
anyways, topic of the time
Because earlier someone brought up the war again and I didn't know how to ask that just yet
mostly because I disagreed but it did get me thinking
I mean.. based on prophecy mural, arent krills already exist when the CoL build the kingdom?
They did yeah- but I meant that in the sense that the krill could have emerged in larger numbers after a large chunk of the land has been rendered dark
And if the war become an end to the kingdom... so i believe krill existed before the kingdom build
Ooh i see
Surely the krill couldn't have occupied the same spaces that we see them do so now right?
ye, but when did the krills entered sky kingdom--like when did they become a threat-threat to them I guess-
That's kind of how I'm thinking rn- they only came and occupied the spaces after the land has been ruined the way it did
Hmm maybe before the kingdom exist... krills already there
But after the kingdom build and starting war... krills multiplied?
Oh yea, maybe the trigger to the imbalance is when the prince possesed the elements...
Because I'm an advocate for the idea that krill have always been a natural part of the ecology, but it's weird that the krill would have already made places like Eden and Wasteland their habitat
The elements wasnt suppose to be claimed by anyone 
Alternatively, the elements weren't used in the way that they were meant to
What if shadow are krills but not solid?
Maybe the elements get haywire... those elements are proved to be too strong for even the elders
Uhh soot clouds
smoky dust bunnies
I still dunno if they ever existed outside the Trials so I guess I can't completely rule them out
Why are they called as shadow anyway
There might be a purpose why they called as that
other than that's probably the first thing that comes to mind when you see them?
Maybe a metaphorical representation of someone's fears and doubts?
A manifestation of terror in the shape of what skids are meant to fear the most?
Or just shadow in general? When light cant goes nyoom on a solid things?
Hi, Iâm back
Aka getting doused and becoming a shadow of their former selves?
Heya Lemon- and welcome to lore chat btw!
I just thought of them as clouds of darkness
you are going to hate what I call them personally
Shorter, stubbier, and decidedly less solid and hostile
Welcome back Tokito
Mui mui
Soot clouds
They do have more a presence of fear tho
Krills : scoliosis shrimp
Shadow : soot cloud
Their resemblance to krill don't really escape people- thus most of the time we see theories on how they're linked
scOLIOSIS SHRIMPA AKSJKKAKSAJKJ
THAT
I'M CALLING THEM THAT NOW LMAO-
The way only ripples of the eyes can be seen, they seem to have much more aversion to light, literally grinding against the edge of it
im gonna hunt the ts now, talk to ya later-
oh ye
Mmkay good luck Flos
I don't think it's an aversion actually- more of an indifference
I realize this addresses me, hello, Tokitou is my child and I will murder for him
They actually seem more like machines than krill
Idk what's happening but I'll just stick on my theory of everything in trials are not real-
Because krill- being that natural part of the ecology that they are- could have just developed that sense of hostility to light
Yeah
While the dark worms don't actively seek it out
It just happens to snuff out whatever is in it's way
@civic zenith, there is no official lore, but we believe it goes kinda like this....
#cozy-sky-discussion message
But the shadows physically could not touch âem. It was like cement grating against cement
Gasses- maybe smoke clouds
Which scared the crap outta me initially
or at least that's how it felt considering this is the Trial of Fire
That makes sense
Btw, where is that collection of info on the king/prince? Links-through-links are funky on mobile and am curious
Info on the King and Prince are kind of scattered through concept arts
shadows r prob gas....
The whole king-prince thing fits in with the idea of a new generation and rebirth perfectly
but wut abt the eyes
But there's some compiled in the Lore Moff doc
duds..... wut r the shadows` eyes made up of?
time and again I've seen you guys link their eyes to these things 
Rippled red-yellow colouring
And if I'm to interpret that red thing as the symbol of memory I might have a guess
Memory manifesting as your deepest, darkest fears
i was thinking more like spirit gates...
How so?
the ripple..... it looks like it...
Yeah but what else-
soooo maybe its a moving dark version of the spirit gate
A spirit gate's function is to restrict access to certain places
Spirit gates are also lighter in colour 
And I dunno if that's how I'd interpret those worms
Maybe as a warning not to continue, maybe as a subtle jab at our abilities and worthiness-
Ehh spirit gate? Where
Going on the memory symbol theory, how do you think that would fit into the trial of fire or season of prophecy?
Hi viri
Mostly I just likened it to memory considering the Red Light summons murals in the Ark- kinda like revisiting memories but on a larger scale
And a different medium I guess
hallo
Wb Chesca
Oh so thatâs why that symbol can be interpretted as memories
Take that interpretation with a grain of salt tho, it hasn't been confirmed yet
As for the Fire Trial I went over that earlier- the dark worms bearing that kind of symbol might have had something to do with our memory
In this case- something to test your courage- manifesting into something one would fear
Likely the idea of memories being used like this has been present since Prophecy but it isn't until Enchantment that it's given a form of it's own I guess
In a completely non-lore related theory, it could be because muted red-orange stands out against pitch black well without making it painfully bright or obvious and simply makes the design better
This is just the artist in me speaking
Yeah that too lmao- and the fact that it's the Fire Trial- and orange in this game being heavily associated with fire
Yeah
Iâm not entirely clear what the order of seasons are, tbh
I started participating in them during enchantment and then came back during prophecy
Neither do we but Prophecy is definitely the first in the list-
Ohhhhh
Gratitude- Lightseekers- Belonging- Rhythm- Enchantment- Sanctuary- Prophecy
i do not see u_u
That's all we have so far- plus the upcoming one
Fewer than I thought
This game's like 2 years old XD
Prophecy being first also makes sense since the elemental theory of fire/earth/water/air was one of the first alchemic theories of how the world was composed
I just remember running into Vault on my brothers phone however many months/years ago and learning to fly
And idk about the others though- but I have an inkling that Lightseekers came before Enchantment, in-universe
Sanctuary could be somewhere around the time before or during the war
If I'm to believe that the war was about the light creatures being juiced anyway
The Sanctuary map area feels like a Mii Sports Resort ngl
My understanding of Sanctuary's place in the lore mainly comes from Prairie Elder's poem talking of protection
Oh? đ
Nope
Didnât know they existed
I haven't found out about them until recently myself lmao
Aight lemme grab them real quick
I shall return in however many minutes with deeper understanding
That first poem already, âferriesâ sound like the spirits, âheraldâ is the prince/king and âweâ is the elders
Those are firsts for me when it comes to people interpreting them lmao
But they're intriguing
I also noticed âOur memories as oneâ as a recurring motif
Most likely referring to the journey of reliving each spirits memories and then becoming one with many in orbit
The âYou And Iâ poem, I think that refers to the Prince, but not the king
I think it refers to the moment after dying in Eden where you hug that light child
Especially since they, yâknow, hold hands for a moment, become one and proceed to fly over the clouds and into the night sky together as one
Prince and our skid being friends sounds close enough I think lmao
Aight, I read âem all
I guess all the mantas seen in the realms are migrating towards orbit, from what I read and that orbit is referred to as âHomeâ by the elders and the sky children, not sure of the spirits
Although the Petal Cape Pin did 
The Ancestors are kind of in a weird place for me ngl
Though they're connected to the Elders, I've seen people say that they were native to the world of Sky even before the Elders fell
Of course there had to have been several other spirits that we've never seen- or never save, because they're already either saved, or they aren't meant to be
I've also seen people say that the reason they're able to ascend at all is because of the Prince, and that it's what the Eden Diamond was made for
To link the world of Sky to whatever Orbit's supposed to be
A lot of it's speculation but I'm inclined to go with it XD
I do agree with the separation of the anscestors and the elders
Using the Isle spirits for example, the spirits seem to be more similar to how humans are than they are to the elders. Worshipping fallen stars, the elders, as higher beings/deities and also when that one spirit hidden behind the stone stair things that lead to the Isle shrine witnessed a falling light child, their reaction had no indication that they were aware of what was happening
It seemed more like a âWHOA WHAT IS THAT?! OHMYGODITâSACHILDGARYGETTHEFIRSTAIDKITâ situation
Stargazer: Oi Voyager
Voyager: Yeah
Stargazer: I think we're parents now
Voyager: ...Daleth help us
I like to imagine they went straight to their Elder like 'hEY YOU FELL FROM THE STARS TOO COME HELP US OUT HERE'
âWHAT DOES THIS CHILD NEED FOR SUSTENANCE TELL US PLEASEâ
The other dudeâs a voyager? I saw him in a hole with a miner
'DOES IT E A T- WHAT DOES IT EAT- DOES IT REQUIRE HUMAN SACRIFICE-'

Oh I actually just call him that because he looks like the Voyager
Rejecting Voyager is the one in the caves
Ohh
I thought that dude was a miner
I didnât even realize the spirits had names until a few days ago when I was doing quests
They're easy to miss- I don't remember them all myself
Isle's a special case though
Yeye
mostly because it has the fewest asjkajk
I had to double check that there were only three earlier
The guy that Voyager was with was a miner- and I think he was going 'No no' because the Temple is a sacred place or something?
Then again there was already a hole
And whole murals inside
Maybe that's where the three spirits really died who knows
Yeah
I sorta assumed that each of the spirits died relatively close to where theyâre located
The weeping spirit dies in the cave, that guy in the cemetery in Vault stayed in there, uhhh
So did I honestly- but that'd be kind of sad for some of them-
Itâd be straight up tragic
Like imagine Sightseer dying where she had her precious memory of being with her kid
I-
Or Butterfly Charmer dying among the things they loved the most
...which one is that
The Yellow Cape one
Sightseer is in Valley right
The one with the kid ye- the one that we relive sometimes for a daily quest
I donât remember a kid
Then again, I spend more time staring at the clouds
Literally
the other spiriittttttt
That's actually one of the key features of that specific spirit lmao
Like how in the Miner's memory they showed how one of their coworkers died because of the dark plant
Oh wait, itâs the one up on the slope in the skating area
ye
akskakajkja imagine that WAS just a friend tho lmao- I can't imagine you'd lift up your friend to the skies XD
I-
man lucky you- I'm too much of a twig to do that to any of my own friends
Some of my friends are super short and light
Anyways, back to spirits dying sad deaths
Oh yeah- speaking of spirits dying via dark plants
In hindsight, those memories are likely only the most prominent ones that those spirits experienced
I mentioned Voyager and the miner beneath the Isle temple before right
one glass of water-

yes ma'm-
anyway
There were dark plants underneath the Temple, right-
I'm thinking that those could be the actual corpses
Same goes for the Miner actually- that giant chunk of dark plant in the cave- it's them
ehem, everytime the lore chat went off-topic. We drink one glass of water- Anyways, lore-
This is more of a reference to an earlier convo in the chat more than anything but it kinda stuck with me XD
the deaths, not the drinking game-
Ye
yep, ANYWAYS LORE
So all of those dark plants we burn- those might have been spirits-
key word is might
:0
Maybe
perhaps
Because we also see dark plants across the map that are too small
One of those docs does say that the dark plants are confirmed to take light
Or maybe size isn't an issue and really it's more of them manifesting into the plants after dying- really I don't completely know where I'm going with this
Maybe how large the plants were had to do with how much they had to endure before they died?
death at its finest
there's also a good amount in Prarie
Sanctuary
Hm yeah
That giant plant in Sanc
man
I mean, there's quite a lot surrounding (help, I forgot how too spell-) the shrines thing-
are there any plants in vault?
Oh no that's just how I've called them
they keep kidnapping me in the middle of the run
i can't swear so i tried my best-
Quite annoying when they do that
Vault does have plants but not up the elevator thing
Archives doesn't have any of the darkness plants
Oh I think I might have a small theory about vault?
Down those paths that need two pepl
nor does the rest of Vault actually
do share-
Oh right
I think the building might just be two levels high (and a basement)
ooooo
ngl I've always pictured the real Vault to be just a little higher than that
Eden gate shows us otherwise
It feels like it enters into a different world to me
At the thing before Eden, when you look back, you can see vault. It's pretty small
When you ascend to the third (?) level you can see the walls falling apart
As far as we know the real Vault really could have actually just been up until what we see of the second level
yeah
H
Because it's at that point that things start getting a little trippy
I'll get some screenshots later, I'm in class rn
The mass gathering of floating platforms in the third level of Vault is kinda sus
Thanks for the brain food tho Bronto lmao
hehe np
Thus 'Vault is a projection' theory
yee
yeeeesssssss
Vault is so trippy, I love it
Cause like at the end of Vault, that is the real Vault
It might explain why there aren't any plants there too actually?
hhhhhhh
Wait I think there's a weird statue thing on top as well, I think I have a screenshot of that
Vault scholars finding ways to die somehow without letting whatever's inside of them to grow into a dark plant- idk
Technically there are plants but only those two trees that grow instantaneously (which may also be a symbol for artificial creations replacing nature)
Alternatively it could be a preservation of a type of plant that might have existed in the kingdom once
The structures kind of resemble those twig plants in Ark
Weren't they made of crystal though?
I remember seeing somewhere that those were crystal trees lemme check-
maybe. They donât actually show up anywhere else in the game that I am aware of
They are, but at that point Vault took shape as a dream
So it's either merely a replica or another projection
Hm yeah-
Or a plant that they've developed like Lemon said
And yet those winged lights were still completely real
Wait what actually is that layer of weird red-ish star thingies that keep you on the level you're on though-
the winged lights and spirits only showed up when the real Vault was left behind
That layer resembles pieces of light quite a bit
There were one spirit each for the first two floors
The one that gives you telekinesis and the one behind the 4 player door
:1 yeah
Both of them are behind 4-player doors though-
okay the first floor then aksjajksj
That symbol looks fAmIliAr
haha yeah
What might that ball be
Was that symbol that same one from the Valley- with the overlapping diamonds and stuff?
I'll draw a little picture of what I think it looks like from up close
Symbolic? Structurally important? Decorative? Other uses?
King propaganda?
Oj wait, the diamond symbol is separate from the ball
ye
Itâs on itâs on post
I kind of remember someone sending a pic here once of the very tip of that
So that ball most likely has to do with the function of the building
god I should have saved that thing
I wonder if someone's tried OOBing to the ball thingy yet-
knowing Sky players- there's definitely someone-
Pffff-
hallo, what'd I miss?
Heya Chesca- mostly Vault and dead people talk
Many dead people in this game
An interesting thought; everyone but the players are dead
The Elders actually aren't dead according to interviews
Wait is the Prince still alive or nah-
Just somewhere in limbo
ehhhhhh debatable-
Oof ok-
Depends on whether we say them being the Eden Elder and being 'not around to be saved' counts as them being dead
ye
Who knows, maybe itâs âcause he never descended and thus never needed saving
That's one way to look at it
Another plausible theory about the Prince and his 'sort of unsalvageable' status does kind of have to do with us in a way
That being he's split into however many skids there are running around
Either as repentance or an act of martyrdom depending on who you ask
That matches up with a thought I had just now
Earlier when I was reading the âYou And Iâ poem I saw it as a poem about the skids and the prince
And I connected the prince to being that light child you hug after dying in eden
Several of the poems reference becoming one being, sharing memories, returning home
If we think of the skids as pieces of the Prince then the idea of becoming one works well and that whole scene makes sense
If the Prince played an important part in the story of the world of Sky then it also makes sense that heâd want to know the stories of the people who lived in it, hence the reliving of spirit memories
I just realized rn that somehow the King has become pretty much just an extension of the Prince at this point XD
50 million pieces of the Prince holy smokes-
ah yes- getting split into 50 million separate consciounsnesses and walking their ruined kingdom in 50 million ways
and dying 50 million ways eventually-
That funny moment when the entire new generation is actually just one guy living and dying again
Actually sounds like the movie 9 now
One man, many pieces of his soul
I can imagine the Prince being so disappointed at us whenever we do something stupid like-
"Child you have a piece of me in you why are you like this-"
manic children running around- flying headfirst into krills because they want to give them belly rubs
messing with spirits using rogue furniture-

god Megan is it not about time you gave your kid a break-
I donât quite get how Megan participates in that world
Like, itâs a giant cosmic bird? Alright
Honestly Megan even being an actual deity is kind of sus
We don't know whether or not Megan is an actual god or just a gigantic lump of light that's vaguely shaped like a bird that we call god
Doesnât sound too far off from what is sometimes done irl so 
sounds like actual religion
The entire concept of "god" is actually really confusing so let's not dwell into that territory-
and I happen to be a fanatic at trying to learn how to debunk religion
Sky doesnât seem to have much of a god
Every organism presented thus dar have been grounded to the reality of the world in some way
The spirits used to be living physical people, the animals are real, the elders exist partially in the own plane, etc
Didn't they worship light or something though-
Wait actually what did they worship-
ask the ceremonial worshippers idk-
Heck those guys just feel like the weirdest exceptions-
In prophecy mural they worshiped the prince
They had a lot of candles and several darkstones
you have to get through an entire 8 player door to get to them
Yes
heck you don't relive their memories through burning their corpses
And that's so far the only instance of that ever happening in the game
The large number of darkstones incorporated into their place of worship probably has some significance
There technically aren't even "memories" like we usually see for spirits like man-
They are memories
Oh right the two from the races
And the whispererâs, idk how they work
What
Crab Call so far is the one with poems dedicated for her right- among the crab whisperers
Huh why do some spirits get memories you follow and collect, but some get guiding ones, and some light-collection ones, and some don't even like- get memories of any kind-
Idk man, Iâm just thinking of how you burn the dark plants and get the whispery magic voices
For variety
And the questgivers-
oh man the questgivers-
They're the weirdest case of them all since they do count as spirits in-universe
The quest givers have the vip outfits that everyone wants
The memory is showed when collecting spirit
Yes
Are the questgivers technically "elders" of the seasons or nah-
No
Yeah but beyond that- the QGs don't have any memories to relive
They don't have corpses to burn
So theyâre like plug-ins to help the seasons function
And some of them don't even get to go with their friends
I asked this last night and I'll ask this again- are Enchantment, Sancturay, and Prophecy Guides just kind of doomed to their connected places until the end of time?
Iâm not sure where this convo is going but itâs 3am my time so goodnight
Bye

They are- they're basically mini-Elders-
Well i think there soul is in the place
Like there body is buried
In the place
Ancestors that are not quite Elders but are intrinsically tied to their constellations all the same
That kinda sucks for them then-
Y
Yes
Yes
Right
Group of spirits can form a constellation so like everybody can make a group
Still- the questgivers have no memories to relive, and so far no means for Ascencion
Yes
It kinda makes sense since your favourite friends fill up a constellation when you get more favourite friends-
Not everything in game should be interpreted literally in the lore of the game tho .. just my 2 cent
Well ye 'cause didn't they say Sanctuary technically wasn't canon?
that's- terrifying
Yes
<<âNot everything is necessarily official canon for this season [of Sanctuary]. Though that can be applied to any season. Sometimes we need to break the fourth wall a bit to create good gameplay experiences.>> -Canon Lore Doc
I'm new to this lore discussion but has anyone ever thought that when we die in eden the part where we flew up to ascend is just memories when the battle happened? And child you save are your friends who you will eventually see ascending with you. Or maybe they saved you?
oh heck- welcome to lore chat then XD
Umm uhhhh THE LINK MAN
I hear ye- gimme a sec-
Oh wait- I trust you've looked into the pins tho?

H m
What
Okay so I've been thinking about that season teaser and I'm now quite confident that each of the spirits will be inspired by one culture each from within asia.
The one on the right is clearly Korean inspired with the gat and hanbok
The second from the left is most probably inspired by a himalayan culture (where the yeti myth originated and where that clothing is typical)
The one on the left seems to be Chinese inspired, with an angular version of that typical red/gold wave pattern on the cape (though I'm still not sure about that one, because I can't pinpoint the origin of the scarf in my research)...
But I'm completely at a loss as to what culture the second from the right could be inspired by! The closest I can guess at is a similar fur coat I saw in an image of Kyrgyzstani culture, but that's pretty far-out given only the coat. The mask looks a little bit like a bee's antenna or something but I just can't figure out what it could be... Anyone have any better ideas of what region it could be?
Hmm... Dont know much about that
the lady on the right looks like a ladybug to me
Well, the red hair tie and bun kinda reminds me of something but that could be my deja vu messing with me
Probably just deja vu
If you look closely, you could see gold with the red hair tie of the spirit
Well, the coat could just be there just cause its a Winter Season
No vietnamese cosmetics 
maybe they represent the seasons?
Yes, I could be wrong about how they're themed, but I think it's just weird if two of them are so obviously based on unique asian cultures and then the other two are based on something else entirely
yeah
The yeti guy is winter, the one on the far right with the yellow cape is summer, the spirit next to them is spring based off of the pink designs on the fluffy cape that reminds me of cherry blossoms and the one on the left is autumn
i think lady bug is summer? korean man is fall?
Anyone got any ideas about the ponytail spirit
oooo that actually makes sense :0
:0
I just thought they were sping due to their cape having pink highlights
Uuu new thought haa
My first thought is that they look like cherry blossomes
What story here now
lel three of them wearing fur though, as an Australian I surely would not survive the end of spring and the beginning of autumn if I wore fur

Ooh, g'day mate
Tho, its night
I'm not Australian, but I can say I live in the country-
Anyway, BACC TO LORE
australia gets too hot sometimes đ
Well, I live in a hot area-
But it's raining recently. Seasons here are weird
The area I live in, I mean
Well it is almost winter and my country is very hot đ like very very hot
||
gonna be 40 degrees the next 3 days where I am and we're not even in summer yet||
Sometimes it gets hot in the night
anyways yeah lol my point is, I don't know how much sense it makes for the spirits to represent seasons if three of them are wearing fur
Maybe because they probably live in Valley...?
i guess u can say they wear fur cuz of the area they're in rn?
Hoverboarding season 
Jk it wont happen
y e s
The only places that dont have Seasonal areas like Enchantment, Proph and Sanctuary are now are Forest and Vault.
and Eden...
yeaa,,
Forest seasonal area might be a swampy place
ooo
Hoping for light frogs 
aww we need light phrogs i- 
Also, the devs had 2 years worth of plans, and are still planning and stuff
In one year, they would probably be able to do Forest and Vault
If all the seasonal areas are all fill then will there be more đ¤
They could do another in realms that already have Seasonal areas, but...
Oof, true
Owh sorry
ok, updated stories for two of the isle spirits. thoughts? they're both very interesting
Well, I was pretty surprised that TGC was willing to change spirit memories to this extent
It means other spirits could have their memories changed as well-
I think they changed it for the next season 
I think they changed Point to explain why candles are so significant in Sky
Kinda a bit like the murals that were originally going to explain why flame was so significant in the old Sky lore concepts
And i think the kid that fell is the ponytail girl
Hmm, tbh, I'm not sure on that...
a nice theory
Come spirit changed memory to give some hint about the murals in Prophecy
the prophecy cycle starts again...
the fallen kid doesnât have a soul orb, but the ponytail kid does, i donât think theyâre supposed to be the same person
That's what I thought too
Maybe while she travels to deliver the candles she fell of and met the new seasonal spirits that are coming
:0
honestly i prefer assuming most background characters are unique in their own right
it makes the kingdom feel like it has more than 37 inhabitants 
if she really is the quest giver then maybe the ult gift isnt a cosmetic as much as its an upgrade for our skids
Unless if its the default QG, that guy being already in another spirit memory kinda explains that spirit a little rather than being random
I like this 
Then seasonal hearts might be useless this season đ¤
seasonal speculation (not lore related) goes in #seasons-events-chat yâall
we were talking before about how valley has high and low social classes. i always assumed the place under the clouds to be low class (floating places like flying race are high class). but the new ssn spirits seem high class to me? any thoughts?
it looks like its the buildings behind the stadium peeking from the clouds
Anubis mask- god of mummification and the afterlife as well as the patron god of lost souls and the helpless.
AFTERLIFE
GUYS
Any wierd connection between eden and prophecy or trials

Lore channel be sleeping anyway when y'all wake up ping me I wanna know your thoughts
Perhaps we're looking at a suburb population. The areas outside but still really close to town can be really nice.
there is no afterlife in sky
the villiage will most likely at the base of the citadel mountain ridge.
the season villiage
@junior robin
i pinged them
but they said......
/ah then okay
so... the designer of valley says that the citadel is the rich zone and under the cloud cover is the working class
/rich and poor
the proletariat, in smart words...
it is very likely the next season will be a villiage at the base of the citadel peak
/seems pretty close to the stadium from the teaser
the stadium is super high up
see... there is this valley, if u will, between the citadel and the stadium.....
/they seems to be havibg fun too
yes
/maybe this time is just regular life in the sky kingdom
its valley
/and not grand story like prophecy
Anyway yeah there's no after life in sky but rebirth
Just random thoughts
What are trials for? does the season guide have any connection with Eden at all. Idk why I think this maybe because of the mask-
trials r for picking the ruler of the kingdom

Prince? Is the successful skid to finish the trials right?
/yea we think
Heyo lore-seekes! You guys miss me? Probably not, what are you guys talking about?
/hi krebby
hi
Hi everyone 
lol
/i dont know you but you know what wb, we talking about new season!!!!
I'm flipped creb! I just evolved
Prophet of crebs was my last nick
/aaaah henlo flipped krephet
Exactly 

Idk if it's considered but
/no no
Looks cool
see?see? dopo
below the stadium
its a dopo
Whats dopo?
Ack
Well I think what as the prophecy this season will have four spirits and the "girl" (There's no gender actually confirmed) is the qg
the darkness is just prob typical valley shadows...
the girl is the qg????
wut abt the yeti?
I think
