lyric isle
#

I’m a bit lacking in the lore game at the moment, my krill theories collapsed entirely recently

#

I need to get that spark back

strange parrot
#

That skykids and wl are just shards of the King's light

grand swift
#

makes no sense

strange parrot
#

One of the points for this is that the friend constellation is crown-shaped

#

I personally think it does make sense

lyric isle
#

how do I get back into lore if a big chunk of mine was debunked

#

I feel disheartened

#

Krill were a very fascinating topic for me, and the ideas I had led to links to interpretations of many things

strange parrot
#

I mean, skykids fall from the sky
Probably from Eden
And of the diamond shattered, maybe the king did too
His light would rain down from Eden eventually, giving birth to the wl and skykids

lyric isle
#

but “all creatures are born naturally into the world” and everything I loved to think of krill dropped dead on the spot

#

aaaaaaaall because I thought they were machines

#

and everything was based off that

#

Note to self to avoid doing that again - getting too invested into an idea

#

Oooooooo.

#

I had a crackpot idea of ‘they’re cyborgs’, but the thing in concept art about them being corrupted light creatures

#

mechanical krill in any way seems dead

gilded sphinx
#

Hii nice to meet you all! I have a question about the new season (season of dreams) does someone knows if tgc will add candles in the new map?

grand swift
#

oh there is only one candle

gilded sphinx
#

One candle? You mean we can get one candle per day?

#

Owww

#

I really hope they add more because it would be better,you know the map would be more visited by sky kidds and a lot of other things...

short owl
#

... I suspect and hope Quinoa is joking

#

We have not seen much of the village

grand swift
#

oh i forgot beta isnt talked about here

#

hope i didnt ruin anything

short owl
#

QUINOA!!!

#

Make beta go poof pls

celest spoke
#

Office krill is a sleeping princess and other krills want us to pass on wakeup kisses from them

quartz hull
#

Anyone got thoughts on the krill queen concept art?

queen locust
#

wait there's krill q u e en s???

quartz hull
#

In some concept art!

#

It’s uh

#

It would be horrifying

queen locust
#

I know it's concept art yeah but the only piece I know of are the big furry balrog m o u t h s

#

And the many arms

#

and just generally gigantic worms with mouths

quartz hull
#

trying to find it again...

#

cuz it might not have been concept art and all my possible theories are ded

queen locust
#

I mean- don't fret too much, I'm sure there's merits to it

quartz hull
#

hm,,, i shall return with theories later when my evidence isnt,,, bad

lethal stump
#

i don’t think i’ve ever seen any krill queen concept art pThink

bitter shale
#

and set

#

at teh same direction

scenic hedge
#

Because game say frick you

bitter shale
#

b r u h

scenic hedge
#

listen

#

Idk what the sun is doing in sky

#

Some realms are stuck in darkness or just S U N F O R E V E R

bitter shale
#

and home have working time for some reason

#

and the said working time is wacky as well

scenic hedge
#

Yea

#

It’s just a game mechanic

bitter shale
#

you know this can be a good lore if we try enough-

scenic hedge
#

w e d o n t a s k

#

oh boy it’s time again

bitter shale
#

aye-

scenic hedge
#

LORE OR GAME MECHANIC

bitter shale
#

night at home is wacky as well

we never see moon, and only one side of the sky is bright

lethal stump
#

i say lore pHelloOreo

bitter shale
#

and yet we didnt see any lunar body that emith the light like moon does for earth

scenic hedge
#

There’s a moon above wastelands clouds

#

But in ark the lighting appears as day

#

so ????!?!!??!??!!??!?

bitter shale
#

....at this point i just gonna pretend every places in one realm that give us 'holy light' whenever we enter it is actually in another dimension or soemthing

#

say, if sky is located on a planet... does that mean the planet just... stop rotating?

#

it would be impossible for us... but hey this is a game-

scenic hedge
#

Ok

#

honestly whatever it is it

#

I’ll just go with it

hushed steeple
#

How did you get up there

bitter shale
#

hmm :<

i like to think the tunnel of manta we go through is liek the core of megan-

bitter shale
scenic hedge
#

yep

hushed steeple
#

I see ppl up there sometimes in pics and I'm like

H o w

scenic hedge
#

hmm :<

i like to think the tunnel of manta we go through is liek the core of megan-
@bitter shale it’s a tunnel of light now

#

probably for lore or just looks

teal orbit
#

Thats where they go before getting a buffet and descending back to the real world

bitter shale
#

buffet-

teal orbit
#

Guys, we gonna start mantas now~~~~

bitter shale
teal orbit
#

New episode

bitter shale
#

mantas are mutated clouds

teal orbit
#

Shower me with your manta theories lol

#

And ping and dm

bitter shale
#

light creatures can phase through solid walls

teal orbit
#

Great i like it

#

Cuz they r light

bitter shale
#

jellyfish in sunny rorest soemtimes phases through a rock mountain

teal orbit
#

Ye ye ik

bitter shale
#

manta... well you wee the big one who always phase through the island on the very far right

teal orbit
#

Ik

#

No more evidence more theories lol

#

I have enough of those

bitter shale
#

hmm

do you think mantas that die because of unnatural death become ghost mantas?

teal orbit
#

Mantas phase thru the ground in valley too

bitter shale
#

we see that one in vault

teal orbit
bitter shale
#

also

if manta made into diamonds... perhaps ghost manta used in the making of memory lantern...

teal orbit
#

Again,

bitter shale
#

#

Srry

bitter shale
#

no worries lol

teal orbit
#

Ok ping plz from now

sacred rapids
#

I saw you pinged me pyre but I ain't scrolling to it so what did it say?

short owl
#

What if we haven't seen Krill Queen concept art because she's always wearing long rope and vertical?

#

With a fancy shaped head

sacred rapids
sacred rapids
blissful basin
#

Pretty sure these are graves?

teal orbit
#

Ye those r graves

fast jasper
#

oof

blissful basin
#

Ok but in the trials of prophecy cave murals

teal orbit
#

For sky geo

blissful basin
#

Are there graves in the trials

#

Like that would explain the random candles in the earth trial. They are memorials.

#

And the water trial mural has like ppl laying down and fading away.

#

Sus.

teal orbit
#

Those r icebergs...

#

The water trial thing...

#

The lying down ppl r dead ppl without graves

#

The 2 student spirits for each trial

vestal swift
#

Premc has returned

#

What have i missed

edgy magnet
#

Can anyone explain to me the lore theories behind Eden

#

I’m new to discord

#

And I loooovvvvveeee theories and mysteries

#

Please

vast crane
#

Uhm, I don't know if anyone has brought this up, but remember how the isle elder is suppost to guide the boats to shore and stuff? But his mask is broken and he can't see?

#

That's sad. pCry

#

I just went and checked how many boats there were. There were 7 that I could find.

novel marten
#

It makes the updated point spirit more emotional then. His friends got in the boat, but maybe they didn’t come back...

vast crane
novel marten
#

And one of the spirits that went on the boat is in a tunnel next to the isle temple

livid valley
#

nice boats

#

aint sad tbh

vast crane
queen locust
#

On the bright side those candles probably weren't enough to cover the whole kingdom tho so maybe they came back to restock

hushed steeple
#

Hey is there any place on the internet where all known and (confirmed?) lore of Sky i written? I woud loooove to read it and learn about it :3

queen locust
#

Every piece of canon lore is on there

hushed steeple
queen locust
#

I recommend starting with these links

wise rampart
#

anyone have tom zhaos original art? And the realm concepts as well. Asking for a friend

#

danke

queen locust
#

Most of the concept arts are in the pins as well

#

Morning Boop-

vestal swift
#

I AM HERE AND I HAVE FIGURED OUT HOW TO BOLD

sacred rapids
queen locust

lore chat sneeping peacefully

#

The prince himself👀

pseudo heart
#

He's got some priorities for sure SkyLOL

pallid pumice
#

helllo im back

vast latch
#

Hello back I'm tired

frosty elm
livid valley
#

it kinda does have something to do with lore

#

but tis just a biology of it

#

not much interesting

coral eagle
#

It's a cool find!

queen locust
#

it's an incredibly cool find-

hushed steeple
#

But thanks to this I just now realized the Dedede mask is actually a canth mask.

livid valley
#

what...?

#

dedede

#

canth

#

What.

#

i am overly confused by this sentence of the internet

#

produced by a few megapixels

#

in this app

#

in a server

#

in a channel

hushed steeple
#

According to Google, canth is a "thunder lizard" or "thunder beast" etc

#

And dedede in urban dictionary is a... Giant penguin?

livid valley
#

i am confused on why this creature is decribed as dedede and canth

#

it dosent sound like the whale at all

keen osprey
#

does anyone know the elder's names pEyes

livid valley
#

Isle: Daleth (ד)
Prairie: Ayin (ע)
Forest: Teth (ט)
Valley: Samekh (ס)
Wasteland: Tsadi (צ)
Vault: Lamed (ל)
Prince: Alef (א)
King: Resh (ר)
PLEASE NOTE: These names have appeared in concept art and are often used when referring to the elders. They are no longer canon, they are fanon.
credits to bricky

keen osprey
#

ah thank youu

#

who's the prince 👀

hushed steeple
#

I meant the character from Kirby, who sometimes wears a very similar mask, and canth, as short for coelacanth. The big fishes.

queen locust
#

Wait- the memelord himself is a mask

#

The almighty Dedede

#

The h e ck

hushed steeple
#

Are the big fishes called whales? But.....the whales are the ones in sanctuary I thought. These ones look like coelacanths in my view.

#

Yesss. I mean it even has the little jaw and the pointy horns and eye holes.

queen locust
#

Also @keen osprey are you new here by any chance-

keen osprey
#

kind of haha

queen locust
keen osprey
#

ooh thank you

queen locust
#

welcome to lore chat then- I recommend starting with these docs to get a feel for what we talk about here

keen osprey
#

oke doke

queen locust
#

the big brain cell juicer family welcomes you

keen osprey
#

lmaoo

queen locust
#

you shall never escape the juicer >:3333

keen osprey
#

:0 shock

livid valley
#

i will give you negativity come

queen locust
#

A quick run-down of the Prince though- they're an elusive figure in Sky that doesn't really show up overtly, kind of like the King

#

They're a vague entity who the lore chat just kind of accepts is the Eden Elder

#

There's still a tiny margin of a possibility that there's a third candidate for that title but as it stands it's either the King or the Prince

keen osprey
#

oh

hushed steeple
#

I think most of the context I kind of use to think about the King and Prince comes from concept art

queen locust
#

Or both of them depending on who you ask

keen osprey
#

OHH

hushed steeple
#

Like the one where the Prince was inside the corrupted form of the king and escaped with the player.

keen osprey
#

woah

queen locust
#

Oh yeah- that was an old concept where the Prince and the King could be different people- you get to take the King down with the Prince iirc

keen osprey
#

** iNteNse**

hushed steeple
#

I kind of take that to mean the prince corrupted into the king at some point but from my understanding in actual cannon all there is is vague hints at his existence to begin with.

keen osprey
#

hm

livid valley
#

wanna know about the juice maker

queen locust
#

As it stands most of you see of the King is in Wasteland-

keen osprey
#

is the king/prince the figure with the star shaped head

hushed steeple
#

Like “oh your freeing his child like wonder” or something artsy like that

keen osprey
#

oo

hushed steeple
#

I think the eden portals top is shaped like his head too

keen osprey
#

OH I THOUGHT STARHEAD WAS THE WASTELAND ELDER'S DAD 💀

hushed steeple
#

How all the elders faces are in that portal. Even him.

keen osprey
#

haha

queen locust
#

except peculiarly Isle Elder

livid valley
queen locust
#

Isle Elder is notably absent from the Eden gate

keen osprey
#

👀👀

hushed steeple
#

Oh. I Should go recount

keen osprey
#

i just assumed that was all the elders-

livid valley
#

family..?

queen locust
#

Not really- there's 5 masks on the door and the Isle Elder's isn't any of those

keen osprey
#

oop

livid valley
#

why a shrug for me

keen osprey
#

i need to work on my observing skills

#

BECAUSE IDK WHAT I WAS THINKING ASDFASHDBF

hushed steeple
#

Yeah, theres only five faces

livid valley
keen osprey
#

pls don't hurt me

queen locust
#

Lmao bro we won't hurt you-

#

-physically-

keen osprey
#

HUH

queen locust
#

because this channel gets dark-

hushed steeple
#

Isle elder seems to be a lot of exceptions

rose tusk
#

What if Megan was the king in a more powerful form. He changed in order to save his son, the prince, whom was the Eden elder, from the doom of Eden.

keen osprey
#

whatwhatwahtwaht

hushed steeple
#

Hes also the only elder to not get an element aside from Vault

rose tusk
#

I don't know

keen osprey
#

OH

rose tusk
#

True

livid valley
#

hey wanna read about the manta juicer

keen osprey
#

WHT

#

YEAH

livid valley
#

Lit

hushed steeple
#

And the only one to have a broken face before we meet him

queen locust
#

ah yes- the j u i c e r

keen osprey
#

who;s megan pCry

livid valley
#

anyway

keen osprey
#

o-

rose tusk
#

Yeah, basically

keen osprey
#

j u i c e r?

queen locust
rose gorge
#

i mean vault kinda has a broken face but way less severe pThink

keen osprey
#

JHASBFHASFA

livid valley
keen osprey
#

GIANT LUMP

queen locust
#

The one that just KIND OF looks like a bird

#

That's Megan

keen osprey
#

OH

#

THANKS

hushed steeple
#

The squiggle

livid valley
#

lets capture the mantas and crush them into power sources called diamonds

hushed steeple
#

In the end credits

keen osprey
#

oh

rose tusk
#

Anyways, that was just an out of the blue thought, lol

keen osprey
#

interesting

queen locust
#

yes that gigantic contraption in the Forest temple is a machine and there's more just like it in Wasteland

hushed steeple
#

Oh

keen osprey
#

DANG

hushed steeple
#

Thats. Not a great place for an alter to put all the children under

keen osprey
#

someone said that the reason that forest and valley have gates is to protect from krills pEyes

queen locust
#

First time I've heard that ngl

#

Tis a bit of a flimsy defense though, if krill can just fly over those gates

hushed steeple
#

Also the last bit of pristine forest behind the gates. Humm.

keen osprey
#

tru

hushed steeple
#

A big thing I been thinking about

#

Elders can’t grow, they exist as they have existed

#

So why

#

How was the King young or have had a prince?

keen osprey
#

woashdfasjdbfasdf

queen locust
#

i asked the same thing a few times a few days ago ngl

#

And there's a couple of answers for it

hushed steeple
#

Does Isle have a alter in top of vault?

queen locust
#

If the Prince were the same person as the King, it's possible that he didn't just age

#

He could grow, but not necessarily age up

#

If the King were a mech- even moreso

hushed steeple
#

He didn’t age, just got big. And spiky.

queen locust
#

he just got the world's biggest freakin' growth spurt

#

greedy prenc

keen osprey
#

bahhahaa

queen locust
#

And ye the Isle Elder has his altar

#

The same altars are present in Ascension

hushed steeple
#

And the other thing is that he seemed to come down willingly and not fall to the sky kingdom

#

If that IS him

queen locust
#

which is why its weird that he's only specifically excluded from the gate

hushed steeple
#

It might make sense if he came later on

queen locust
#

It's unlikely that the Isle Elder of all people would be late

hushed steeple
#

Oh not isle oops I meant king

queen locust
#

Ohhhhhh King-

keen osprey
#

wait what's an altar 🗿

#

sorry I'm still reading the docs-

queen locust
#

Shrines-

keen osprey
#

OH

queen locust
#

The ones that you use to meet the Elders

hushed steeple
#

Just what im calling the statues where you light candles to see elders

keen osprey
#

OHHH

#

bruh i am ✨smooth brain ✨

queen locust
#

Tis okie- I think we all just kind of call them different things anyway XD

keen osprey
#

oh

#

well

hushed steeple
#

Dude nothing has names for things stated anywhere in game aside from missions it makes sense.

keen osprey
#

:T

queen locust
#

like how krill are dark dragons- that kinda thing

keen osprey
#

ohh

#

wow

#

i like and dislike how tgc left a lot of sky up to our interpretion

hushed steeple
#

Same

queen locust
#

I'm leaning on like cuz then this channel wouldn't exist if it was overt-

keen osprey
#

tru

hushed steeple
#

But now im gonna built a personalized idea of what happened and everyone else can be dead wrong wahhaahaha

keen osprey
#

lmaoo

#

mood

queen locust
#

the fanfic writer in me will clutch on to the fanon Elder names

#

A sneeping lorechat is a lonely place

hushed steeple
#

They do look more like coelacanths than whales

teal orbit
#

Ye... its a misnomer

#

But comon names r common names...

#

After all, thats why we have the scientific names and the classification system

hushed steeple
#

idc im calling them coelacanths now

teal orbit
#

As u wish

#

Now seriously... manta theories...

hushed steeple

Manta theories...
Where r my precious manta theories...T.T

pearl verge
#

Hello

#

I want to ask one single question

#

Is there any way that happy ending somehiw exists

#

?

gilded fossil
#

/hmm?

#

/uh, technically, the game has no ending

pearl verge
#

I MEAN YEEA BUT

#

like in the eye of eden

gilded fossil
#

/annnnnnd, i mean, being reborn is pretty happy i guess?

pearl verge
#

Where red crystals are falling constantly, nonstop

#

There is a thinglie you can light, that most of the times open a door or so

#

... So I was extremely curious

gilded fossil
#

/uh, statues?

pearl verge
#

No like the light shrine idk its name

gilded fossil
#

/like the funny thing at the ...

#

/home return to adventure

#

/thing

pearl verge
#

Nono

#

Wait

gilded fossil
#

/ohhh maybe provide a pic?

#

/i think we're are refering to different things in stormlock ( rock rain place)

pearl verge
#

This type of thingie

#

And its in the area where it rains rocks nonstop

gilded fossil
#

/uh...

#

/huh

#

/i would call it a latern

#

/okay, what about them?

pearl verge
#

Like

#

Maybe it opens a door or smh

#

And there is an ending withiut dying

undone harbor
#

we have to die
that's literally our mission

#

the more peaceful ending for our skid is we leave the game for a while(or maybe forever)

gilded fossil
#

/yea we think that what it is

#

/wait

#

/stormlock doesnt have those latern things?

pearl verge
#

There is one

undone harbor
#

there is one

pearl verge
#

In the middle of it

teal orbit
#

It was possible to not die in beta, but not anymore lol

undone harbor
#

but we normally don't have enough energy to light it

pearl verge
#

Thats the issue

#

I had

teal orbit
#

Wut????!!!!!

undone harbor
#

well
what's the most wings you have

teal orbit
#

How?

undone harbor
#

9?

#

10?

#

11?

pearl verge
#

One guy had 11

#

Plus

teal orbit
#

Ok folks manta theories manta theories

undone harbor
#

like your current amount of wings right now

pearl verge
#

Sime sort of ascended wings are in beta

teal orbit
#

We need to start production on episode 6 now... lol

pearl verge
#

Some*

undone harbor
teal orbit
#

Ok... plz elborate lol

gilded fossil
#

/okay

#

/but like you wont have enough light

#

/ohhhhhh

#

/instant recharge might do

pearl verge
#

Yeee

undone harbor
#

that's where the instant recharge comes in

pearl verge
#

WAIT

teal orbit
#

Folks...

pearl verge
#

Fr

teal orbit
undone harbor
#

ok normally we don't see butterflies near mantas

teal orbit
#

Ye...

undone harbor
#

must have some rivalry or something

teal orbit
#

So u r saying that mantas eat butterflies to recharge?

undone harbor
#

not really

#

both are light creatures and light creatures don't really lose light

teal orbit
#

But butterflies r far away from most light creatures cuz they were placed where there was no light... like... nutterflies arent next to mantas purposefully... lol

undone harbor
#

eat butterfly

#

grow b i g and s t r ö n k

#

nutterflies

teal orbit
#

The spirits did that intentionally... the placing pots in light creature-less places...

#

Thats why butterflies were farmed lol...

undone harbor
#

forest has some butterflies too

teal orbit
#

Ye

undone harbor
#

and they aren't in pots

#

but the population is low

teal orbit
#

Oh those are failed transport attempts lol

#

We explain that in the documntaru

undone harbor
#

and there are only like
2 mantas there

#

they aren't too big

#

skid size

teal orbit
#

There are quite a lot in forest...

#

The mantas...

undone harbor
#

wait
I was thinking about the bridges area

teal orbit
#

So u r saying butterflies are intentionally killed by mantas cuz of rivalry?

#

For wut?

undone harbor
#

ahhhh should have said that sooner

#

no they eat butterflies to be bigger

#

I think when they are larger they can even eat birbs

teal orbit
#

Oh... yea... currently we r going with each size is a different species

undone harbor
#

;-;

teal orbit
#

Cuz that way we can get more theories

#

And we agreed to it last time

undone harbor
#

welp we gonna throw this all away then

teal orbit
#

Oh qnd when the mantas emerge from the clouds they are fully mature and without a pygmy manta stage and canon livestreams confirm the emerging from clouds thing is how they r born...

#

So... welp...

#

Srry...

undone harbor
teal orbit
#

Ye...its tru

undone harbor
#

I thought they went from water-

teal orbit
#

Nah

undone harbor
#

when was that livestream again

#

I don't really watch livestreams

teal orbit
#

The one abt where creatures come from

#

I dont watch it either... this is from the canon doc

#

Canon doc quote from livestream lol

undone harbor
#

huh...

teal orbit
#

So our current theory is that mantas get a progress wipe when they r reborn and they stay underwater till they intellectually mature but not physically

#

Born in clouds, then jump straight into water lol

undone harbor
#

megan really did that huh.

teal orbit
#

Ye

#

I just realized omg in sky is omm

#

Oh my megan

undone harbor
#

teal orbit
#

Ikr?

undone harbor
#

I've seen in comics said oh my bird

#

megabird

#

or even krills

teal orbit
#

Huh... omb it is

#

Ok bacc to lore

#

Manta theories: wut else ygot

undone harbor
#

ummmmm
my brain juice isn't working aaaaaa

#

I think people used to ride them???

teal orbit
#

Here's a tip...
Make up smth shocking and then find evidence in game to support it lol

undone harbor
#

can ancestors even finish cloud race

#

I know a boat can't fit through

#

so I place my bet on mantas

teal orbit
#

Maybe the flying race used to be a manta chariot or riding race

#

And ppl used to bet on the mantas lol

undone harbor
#

manta race.

teal orbit
#

Like u said

undone harbor
#

I REPEAT

#

MANTA RACING

teal orbit
#

Ikik kalm down lol

undone harbor
#

they just nmooooooom

teal orbit
#

Lets hope they dont kidnao spectators lol

#

Orrrr

#

Maybe they did

#

Nope

#

They didnt

#

They dont kidnap us loo

undone harbor
#

"manta 5 is at first place!"
""wait...manta 1 is catching up!Can it win the race?"

  • s w e a t i n g*
bitter shale
#

i wish we got a cutscene showing a spirit riding a manta...

undone harbor
#

or maybe they're trained not to kidnap ppl

bitter shale
#

lmao

teal orbit
#

Ok more theories lol

bitter shale
#

manta race manta race manta raceeee

teal orbit
#

They were prob just selectively bred not to be able to host stasis sparks

#

Ok more manta theories

bitter shale
#

also the mantas seems to attracted to us. whenever i walk on forest a manta always appeared from the earth and flying around me even when my wedges are full-

#

and that time i actually honk to two mantas and they actually honked back-

#

whil stopping mid air

teal orbit
#

Why do u think that happens?

undone harbor
#

imagine a person makes a Cars edit but instead put mantas in

spring blaze
#

wym mantas totally kidnap skids

#

look at the poor victims of the prairie village!

bitter shale
#

forest manta arent big enough to kidnap us so they talk to us in hope to distract us from our main quest-

teal orbit
#

Nah (confirmed)

undone harbor
#

or they just like light
light warm
forest cold

bitter shale
teal orbit
#

Light creatures try to help us

gilded fossil
#

/they kidnapped us like horrible suckers they are!

undone harbor
#

look at how many times they got stuck in lanterns

bitter shale
#

they still cute tho :<

undone harbor
#

poor creatures got so cold ;-;

bitter shale
undone harbor

#

prairie manta goes woooo whooooooo

And vault summit cosmic mantas

undone harbor
bitter shale
#

vault mantas are cool

undone harbor
bitter shale
#

but i hope they stop pushing me from reaching the candles-

teal orbit
#

Keep em coming folks more theories and ping me

bitter shale
#

why we only see one manta in orbit-

#

is there a manta that follow us from the start until the end?

#

likw, i believe that smol manta keep appearing whenever i go

#

and its the same size manta

undone harbor
#

like I said earlier
GUARDIAN MANTA

#

gaurdian angel but manta

bitter shale
#

megan didnt wnat us to end up like the prince so she send a manta to guard us

teal orbit
#

Manta god mother lol

bitter shale
#

and it got krilled

undone harbor
#

naaaa

bitter shale
#

in gw insteaf

#

but got revived in vault

undone harbor
#

probably it got tired of our shenanigans

bitter shale
#

as ghost manta

teal orbit
#

Nah

#

It

undone harbor
#

so it told the krill to make a scene

bitter shale
#

'for megan sake stop playing with the krills i just die to protect you-'

undone harbor
teal orbit
bitter shale
#

but the bigger the mantas the more they seek solitude

undone harbor
#

well just crack

#

but you know what I meant-

#

crack

#

how can crack and

#

theories

#

not go with eachother

#

is this what forbidden love feels like

bitter shale
undone harbor
#

I still don't know how birbs are EVERYWHERE.

#

not counting wasteland and vault

bitter shale
#

i mean

the god is bird so makes sense why birbs are everywhere

#

hey wasteland have birbs too

undone harbor
#

wait where

bitter shale
#

the closet flush thyphoon

#

uh

#

idk the name

undone harbor
#

ohhh that-

#

that's still in valley territory

bitter shale
spring blaze
#

there used to be birds in wasteland

pseudo heart
#

I mean,, there's birds hanging out in Ark

spring blaze
#

yeah but pre-ark

#

the entrance to battlefield from graveyard, you know how theres this weird swirl that goes towards it? it used to be birds

hushed steeple
#

So what are we talking about today-

pseudo heart
#

Maybe the krills ate them

spring blaze
hushed steeple
#

Also hi-

spring blaze
#

truly hungry for light

pseudo heart
#

Helloo SkyWave

hushed steeple
#

Did i come at the wrong time-

pseudo heart
#

Nope

#

All is welcome

spring blaze
#

its quite dead right now

hushed steeple
#

Lol ok

#

So uh-

#

Lets talk about battlefield and vault?

queen locust
#

good god battlefield

#

in battlefield there's really one immediate topic that comes to mind and that's the Two Shield Theory- basically just whatever's caused the war in Wasteland

#

but Vault is a broader subject

hushed steeple
#

Mhm

#

What if the battle happened because some people wanted to find out what was in vault

#

Since it holds the knowledge of all the realms

queen locust
#

Tis possible- this could be one of the reasons why Archive was trashed

#

And the Archives is the most forbidden of places in Vault

#

Tis safe to assume that the Archives held dangerous yet valuable information- but whatever information that could have been is a mystery of its own

#

If the motivation for the war really was Archives then whoever was on the revolting side won

#

that's a big if btw don't quote me on that-

hushed steeple
#

Well we know that the cutscenes of the elders affect the world somehow

#

So how did they get it-

#

Because the door-

#

Dosent look damaged

#

But ill go check

queen locust
#

Idk what the cutscenes have to do with that-

hushed steeple
#

They must have like broken in or something

#

But the door dosent have like a huge hole in it or anything

#

So they either opened the door somehow

#

Or-

queen locust
#

Maybe they had a mole in Vault? But then if there was then there should have been signs of someone breaking out from Vault itself

hushed steeple
#

Hm

livid valley
#

Hi

queen locust
#

It's kind of weird that the Archives would be chock full of signs of someone trashing it

#

But the outside of Vault looks fine

#

Also heya Meow

hushed steeple
queen locust
#

...wait does it though

teal orbit
hushed steeple
#

E

livid valley
#

Imagine saying hi

hushed steeple
livid valley
#

L

queen locust
#

After the cutscene at the summit, we get transported to the real Vault

teal orbit
#

ok ok folks bac to lore

hushed steeple
#

Yep

queen locust
#

And THAT Vault is trashed

livid valley
#

Ok bye

hushed steeple
#

Very

teal orbit
#

manta theories... come on ppl we can do this...

queen locust
#

pyre we'll ping you if we come up with any

hushed steeple
#

Ill think of some

#

After i explore every inch of Sky again

queen locust
#

does it necessarily have to be one specific creature btw like

#

what if someone wants to discuss a creature you've already gone over-

#

oh well- we'll discuss what we please regardless

hushed steeple
#

Theres always room for more theories

livid valley
#

Pyre is doing the creatures one by one

queen locust
#

Yep- so in a way you're never really done with the creatures you've already gone over

livid valley
hushed steeple
#

So anyway, vault

queen locust
#

Ah well- it'll be no problem if we can just ping you about it

teal orbit
queen locust
#

Our curiosity can't possibly hold out until you give the go-ahead for krill m8

hushed steeple
#

Lol

teal orbit
#

i thought all hell would break loose at mantas but i-its super quiet...T.T

hushed steeple
#

Ill think about it

queen locust
#

Tis why I asked why it had to be one creature at a time

hushed steeple
#

Besides, i like krillies more than mantas

teal orbit
#

ohhhh ok all creatures and ill sort thru them lol

#

god megan this will be chaotic

queen locust
#

Not really- we'll ping you if any creature theories come up

#

It's not gonna be all chaotic if they had say- different sections right?

#

You don't have to worry

teal orbit
#

ye ye i`ll sort it all dont worry abt me

#

just shower me with animal theories

#

how do mantas sleep?

#

are the glowing things on their top and bottom their eyes?

queen locust
#

do they need to sleep because they always just seem to be moving

teal orbit
#

why do they have mouths?

teal orbit
queen locust
#

Were the ones in Sanctuary dormant before we summoned them, or were they generated?

teal orbit
#

oh those just lived under the sea but we dragged em out

queen locust
#

come to think of it why are they always just arriving when we ring bells of all things

queen locust
teal orbit
#

the bells mimic the sound of their species.. i think...

#

and they think its another herd

vocal ore
#

heyo theorists, what is the topic of today?

queen locust
#

The Prairie Elder poem suggests he was a protector of light creatures so maybe the bells were his doing?

#

Mantas apparently-

teal orbit
#

mantas...

queen locust
#

Bells in Prairie summon mantas- and there are professions in Prairie that are dedicated to building bells

teal orbit
#

so it was prairie

queen locust
#

I think- that's kind of what I think anyway- look at me being desperate to fit Sanc into lore-

#

then again the Sanc guide has a manta cape- but I have an alternative thought to the 'it's made of baby mantas' theory

#

Maybe he wears it so he could interact better with the mantas?

teal orbit
#

so.. if i sum it up,
the scientists in the daylight prairie designed specific bells to correlate with each species` call to summon them like taxies...

hushed steeple
#

Theres a theory that it made of what-

queen locust
#

yeahhh that was the immediate conclusion when it came to the manta cape

#

That it was made out of an actual manta

hushed steeple
#

Irl, mantas carry other fish so-

teal orbit
pseudo heart
#

Jello hair and manta cape—

queen locust
teal orbit
#

ok

queen locust
#

I mean- maybe they weren't necessarily made out of the things they're supposed to represent

pseudo heart
#

Whose idea was it to make living creatures clothes and call them fashion

#

Oh wait

queen locust
#

You know how sometimes people attempt to be more like the animals they're taming to try and get close to them

teal orbit
#

they are meade of light as if they were molecules...(confirmed)

pseudo heart
#

looks at real life

teal orbit
#

and yknow i only say confimed when im sure

queen locust
#

I think that's what's happening with Sanc guide and Jelly Whisperer

teal orbit
pseudo heart
#

To tame a jello, be a jello

teal orbit
#

orrrrrr

hushed steeple
#

To tame crabs- be crabs

teal orbit
#

or,
they killed the corresponding species` alphas and wear it like a trophy and so the mantas and jellies follow them...

queen locust
#

to tame manta- you don't need to do anything they'll kidnap you either way

#

...I'll just stick with my less gruesome interpretation-

teal orbit
teal orbit
queen locust
#

man it probably didn't work out for Crab Call Lady

hushed steeple
queen locust
#

then again we don't have like- a crab cosmetic yet-

#

maybe it only works if we look like crab

teal orbit
#

huh.. ye...

hushed steeple
#

What do u want us to dress like-

#

A rock-?

teal orbit
#

with 8 legs

queen locust
#

A pokemon yes

#

You just gotta be a pokemon-

vocal ore
#

have y'all ever thought about the fact that they might had of used some sort of spells to the bells?

pseudo heart
#

The manta drawings probably

teal orbit
#

remember, crabs in sky are not even remotely related to irl crabs.. just their names

hushed steeple
#

Yup

pseudo heart
#

Also the rune-like stuff engraved on them (u can see the deets in the pins)

queen locust
#

Would a manta respond to an enchanted bell- of course it will-

hushed steeple
#

There are tame crabs tho.

pseudo heart
#

They're not tame crabs, they're uncorrupted iirc

queen locust
#

the tame crabs are a weird case but I think Pyre can explain that better with symbiote theory

hushed steeple
queen locust
#

We're enchanted but we ain't bells-

hushed steeple
#

Me in prairie: manta pls-

#

COME TO ME

queen locust
#

I kind of lean on the spells too now that you mentioned the engravings

pseudo heart
#

Manta: swoops when u don't want it to

queen locust
#

Because there's other bells in the realms that don't really function the same way

#

Like the ones in the Forest bridge

vocal ore
#

cosmetic manta hink could call one but it normally doesn't work most of the times

hushed steeple
#

Ye

queen locust
#

that probably summon jellies instead idk

hushed steeple
#

Lmao

#

I heard that vault is kinda like a dream or memory

queen locust
#

There's a canon dev quote that leans on that

vocal ore
#

I never understood how the Vault works

hushed steeple
#

Cosmic mantassss

#

Or- spirit mantas

queen locust
#

I'm not sure who said it first, but once we talked about Vault and there was a point where you could have either fallen asleep or just fell into a dream

#

Around 3rd floor, but 2nd floor is sus too

#

Because notice how the structure just kind of becomes literal space

hushed steeple
#

I think 2nd going to third

#

Yea

queen locust
#

Someone said that the lanterns were probably the ones that caused us to be able to witness the dream in Vault

hushed steeple
#

Theres a lot of mantas to talk about-

vocal ore
#

Is it the mechanism thing that brought us into the dream or did the Vault elder do something to us?

queen locust
#

Considering the Vault Elder's busy in limbo I sorta doubt it's all her doing

#

keyword- all-

hushed steeple
#

XD

vocal ore
#

It still doesn't really makes sense tho

hushed steeple
#

?

#

Vault isss pretty complicated

queen locust
#

Vault trippy

hushed steeple
#

Yea

queen locust
#

man I'm convinced we were probably under a gas or smthn and we were just hallucinating after the 2nd floor

vocal ore
#

They built multiple shrines inside of the dream (?)
Spirits/ normal people could apparently enter it anytime before
and-

hushed steeple
#

I gtg now, i'll ping when i find a theory on mantas. See ya

vocal ore
#

heck i forgot my points already

queen locust
#

Aight cya Ani

#

take your time Azulii XD

vocal ore
#

But wait- how do we enter Eden if Vault was a dream? Is Eden also a dream?

queen locust
#

Nah- notice how after the Vault Elder cutscene, we're transported to a vault that doesn't look quite right

vocal ore
#

You can't just fall asleep somewhere and waking up at a different place unless someone or something carried you-

queen locust
#

Some people think that it's the real Vault, and that the blue-ish, dreamy, space Vault is someplace else, but ultimately just not that real

#

Though I've seen the Eden is a dream theory here somewhere too

#

i can't recount it that well tho-

vocal ore
#

So the GW just has a gate to a dream

teal orbit
vocal ore
#

Because if that's true, then the entirety of the vault we got to see was a dream, the 2 player doors also led us to a spacey area which doesn't seem very real

teal orbit
queen locust
#

Archives at least is an established place that we know existed even before the fall of the Kingdom

#

somehow it ALSO has the weird trippy space floor

teal orbit
queen locust
#

Archives existed before then as a place of forbidden knowledge and no one was allowed to enter

vocal ore
#

I now headcanon that the Vault elder and her scholars do drugs

teal orbit
#

oh yes me too

queen locust
#

oml-

teal orbit
#

but like everyone who goes into vault is doing drugs too

queen locust
#

easy on the hallucinogens there old lady

#

or were they also on narcotics

vocal ore
#

drugs are in the air

teal orbit
#

remeber the happy clouds in SU?

vocal ore
#

oh yes

undone harbor
#

pffff

#

drug clouds

teal orbit
#

as i keep telling u, lamed IS blue diamond lol

vocal ore
#

Maybe it's drug stars/lights in Vault

undone harbor
teal orbit
#

oh this has been here a long time

#

there r even several memes abt this

vocal ore
#

Blue diamond is Teth and Lamed fused together pEyes

teal orbit
#

ok bacc to mantas

queen locust
#

Oh right- Pyre the other day I came up with something of a crackpot creature theory

undone harbor
#

really
guess I missed out a lot

queen locust
#

Tis probably best if I DM'd it so gimme a sec

undone harbor
#

imagine going up on the elevator and say:"yo come here and drink this floaty light juice"

queen locust
#

fLOATY LIGHT JUICE AJHSJHAJ

#

is Acolyte the only sober one since she's on the bottom floor

vocal ore
#

Lmaoo

queen locust
#

or would she be the most drunk- wait are we allowed to talk about that kind of thing here

#

then again we did go an entire segment with that manta juice thing

vocal ore
#

Technically this is lore

#

Technically

teal orbit
#

ye... but even guns arent allowed here... sooo

undone harbor
#

uhhhh
we can call them light juice

#

I think we can keep going until someone comes in and stop us-

vocal ore
#

Ok back to loring

#

Did we actually get to see any stars in game that’s not an elder’s domain? The ones in Vault felt artificial to me and homespace is weird

undone harbor
#

uhh orbit?

#

megabirb owns that place

vocal ore
#

That’s also technically not in the living realm anymore???

#

I think think we’ve seen stars at all in the normal sky realm

#

Only in Elder’s domains, Homespace and orbit. None of them are in the Sky realm except i guess Homespace

#

That’s a lowkey interesting detail tbh

pseudo heart
#

Guys guys

#

A thought has been: thonk

vocal ore
teal orbit
#

oh hey folks

#

are the shiny diamonds on the mantas their eyes?

pseudo heart
#

The darkness plants are from living creatures that has been corrupted??? Affected by darkness

teal orbit
#

yes

vocal ore
#

Nani

pseudo heart
#

Okay so listen

teal orbit
#

symbiote theory go brrrr

pseudo heart
#

Remember the tearful light miner's memories?

teal orbit
#

ye...

bitter shale
#

You know, i always imagine... if skid are indeed made of wax...

And candles are made of wax...

What if when we collect waxes the wax become our skin, and then we shed it off and made candles from it

queen locust
#

that's lowkey horrifying

pseudo heart
#

One of their team had a plant grow from them

queen locust
#

and then we give it to dead people for their clothes

bitter shale
#

We give our skin to the spirits

vocal ore
pseudo heart
#

The balls inside the spirit that we burn are forming darkness plants

queen locust
pseudo heart
#

Not just those

bitter shale
#

It is darkness plant

#

Counted as one

pseudo heart
#

Fragments of spirits too

bitter shale
#

The quest did counted it as darkness plant

queen locust
pseudo heart
#

See the spirit in the middle bell island in prairie villages

queen locust
#

Here's your visual aid

pseudo heart
#

Thamk you

pseudo heart
queen locust
#

man if all this time all those plants that we've been burning are all just corpses

#

is this advanced recycling

pseudo heart
#

Okay lemme get to that

vocal ore
#

I still don’t get how skids can see ghosts

teal orbit
#

huh...

queen locust
#

Like- we burn the corpses and then we trade them for their... clothes...

#

o h

#

O H

teal orbit
#

wait wait wait buiding on that.... i have a more evolved theory...

queen locust
#

wait a hot second

pseudo heart
#

The reason why we get wax when we burn darkness plants is because we're basically getting the light that the plants ate from the living creatures

teal orbit
#

maybe darkness plants are like mushrooms, but they grow on living things too

queen locust
#

IS THIS WHERE CANDLEMAKER GETS HIS W A X FROM

#

DOES HE MAKE HIS CANDLES FROM DARK PLANTS

#

It's TECHNICALLY a natural source of wax

teal orbit
vocal ore
#

So the bells had light in them?

bitter shale
teal orbit
#

skids were made after the fall

queen locust
#

CANDLEMAKER W H Y0 YOU WERE MY FAVORITE SPIRIT

teal orbit
#

a long time after the fall

queen locust
#

true but the sentiment stands

pseudo heart
#

Skids once lived alongside with the ancestors

#

At some point

queen locust
#

those dark plants are possibly corpses

pseudo heart
#

See: ushering star gazer

#

No no, not corpses

#

Well technically

#

It's more like..

#

They eat the living creature from inside out

vocal ore
#

Imagine if one of these days the plants becomes more sentient like a venus flytrap

pseudo heart
#

Oh no

queen locust
#

god no that's morbid on so many levels

bitter shale
#

Oh

Oh god

#

Thats perfect-

pseudo heart
bitter shale
queen locust
#

so darkness plants are where candlemaker gets his wax from and those may or may not have killed a man

vocal ore
bitter shale
#

Interesting that only elder's spirits that consumed by darkness

queen locust
#

beautiful-

bitter shale
#

And im gonna make it EXTRA ANGST

#

You mind if im using that for my AU-

pseudo heart
#

The plants have grown randomly in walls and things are maybe fragments of spirits that were supposed to ascend, but they got trapped (see the yawning spirit in Prairie) they're supposed to be flying around (see the spirit with collect the fragments of light mechanic in Valley Citadel)

queen locust
#

Sky but it's deadlier than usual

bitter shale
#

stickerShiny stickerShiny thankies

#

Sky but hardcore mode

queen locust
#

Please do-

pseudo heart
#

Does it sound convincing? Hhh

queen locust
#

lore fodder for the brain is yummy

bitter shale
pseudo heart
#

Yes yes

#

Because u know..

#

explosion

queen locust
#

stares at ceremonial worshippers

bitter shale
#

man i wish we got a spirit that riding mantas on the cutscene-

#

I wanna see manta race :(

queen locust
#

Manta Call: wa o- I'm everywhere :DDDDD

pseudo heart
#

Dang shower thoughts rlly are another level SkyLOL

bitter shale
#

Got me thinking

Maybe manta race is like a high class entertainment? While skate is more for middle to low class pThink

bitter shale
queen locust
pseudo heart
#

I was just sitting in the shower like pEyes🚿

queen locust
#

the toilet is the altar of knowledge everyone knows this-

pseudo heart
#

No I thought of the idea while I was in the shower hhhh

#

When I tell yall I rUSHED when I hit that idea

#

Nyoomed here

bitter shale
#

Dont forget to dry yourself first-

queen locust
#

speaking of coming up with shower thoughts I need to try and write up a theory about those cursed Ceremonial Worshippers

#

just- why do you guys exist-

bitter shale
#

The water just evaporate while we playing sky under the shower

pseudo heart
#

Go take a shower Boop

queen locust
pseudo heart
#

Heat water with stove

#

Kettle

bitter shale
#

Kettle water pEyes

queen locust
#

Oooooohh add leaves while you're at it

vocal ore
#

Listen listen
An AU where all elders and most of the good things have been replaced by horrifying things
I specifically have this idea where the Hidden Forest is called the Woodlands and nobody knows what happens to those that enters it
Some say that the forest elder is in there, waiting and calling the skids to come to her, some aren’t even sure if she existed at all
Those that enters the Woodlands never comes back out, it’s thought that they either died or have found the elder’s light
Some skids would tell others stories about how they would see a feminine figure holding an umbrella that has a latern attached to it, the latern’s light is oddly intriguing to them and they would feel dawn to it
That feminine figure would stare at them for awhile before stepping back into the fogs, her eyes shining malice a cyan color before disappearing completely

queen locust
#

Helps relieve muscles and stress

#

Mango leaves are good

bitter shale
#

Also i believe there is another ancension happen other than ours

pseudo heart
#

Here's some mango leaves for u Boop 🤲🌿🌿🌿

queen locust
#

Azulii what if the Forest Elder was like- concept Forest Elder-

#

She was scary back then too ajshjahjshhaj

#

she had more l e g

pseudo heart
#

Ooh ye I was about to mention djeneje

bitter shale
#

Since we are children of the light... and i believe child of light is the leader of ancension...

Maybe tehre is a reason why this game titled as children instead of only child

vocal ore
#

That’s just an AU where present forest elder got killed by the concept one to which she now says “yeah come to me I’m totally your forest mama totallyyyy”

bitter shale
#

Likely, there are other ancension happens other than ours, lead by another children of lights

#

Seems this to be megan's way to restore her power

queen locust
#

man it's only like 9 pm over here but Imma conk out
