Byee

[icy spruce]

and once again

lore chat shall be krilled

or smthng

[queen locust]

took too long to do Biology and the next seasonal quest is still an hour away akjsjakjska

[tribal badger]

Im just going to dump this here but

I like to think that each of the spirits emotes correlates with the elders and what they maybe represent or are like.

[queen locust]

That's actually kind of accurate- like how all the fun, lighthearted emotes are in Prairie and the moodier emotes are found in Forest

Valley has a very show-offy vibe to it, and Wasteland emotes are all cautious and guarded

[tribal badger]

wo a

[queen locust]

Isle having the base emotes of pointing, ushering, and rejecting are all pretty simplistic and easy to understand

Vault is kinda hard to place though but they seem more dignified and self-assured

[sharp summit]

what does the mountain with the crack down the middle symbolize
like the entrace to cave of prophecies, sanctuary island big mountain, flying race entrance?

also has there ever been a season within the vault of knowledge?

[sly kestrel]

arTicle 15 pArAgRapH 69
“the seasonal content and a lot of the additional features/entertainment is to build up the world rather than the lore”

[glad galleon]

but- prophecy-

[slender raptor]

i think cracked mountains are just "something is on the other side".

"crossing"

[hushed steeple]

Hi-

[hushed steeple]

Rather than, used to give more importance to one thing when two alternatives or preferences are being compared. Never said it had nothing to do with lore at all ovo

Guess i came at a very dead time.

[livid valley]

n I c 3

[sly kestrel]

Well it does involve lore, but not as much as giving answers to eden’s history and the explosion and the crack in the mountain and stuff like that
the seasonal content is mainly for building up the world and showing different perspectives and stories in different places we never knew existed. No doubt it gives lore, but it’s mainly for world building

If that makes sense

[queen locust]

okay spoilers for anyone who hasn't seen the new skater spirit memory to the fullest yet and I'm one of them but like

why does the Postman look like he's training her for the Winter Olympics

[rose gorge]

HFJWJSJWDNRJ

[queen locust]

nO SERIOUSLY- H U R DLE S

there are hURDLES

and I can't even show pics because the spirit memory goes by fast-

[rose gorge]

I know— all I comprehended was the hurdles, skater and postman being there and had no idea what was happening otherwise

[queen locust]

also if I'm hearing the sound effects right are we doing axels as we're going down the slopes

Twirling Champion would be proud of this girl-

[rose gorge]

i-

dang-

[soft hamlet]

Hey I have a thing to say

Is dreams guide spirit is iceskating spirit girl but older ??

[queen locust]

Possibly? We haven't really seen enough of either to be sure

[soft hamlet]

I believe it's from season of gratitude

But now I'm doubting that guide spirit being once that iceskating

Cuz we can see 'em together during season of dreams teaser

BUT it can be possible that guide spirit is "seeing her younger self"

Imagine that when finishing last quest, guide spirit will wear the ultimate gifts cosmetics

Nope, we can see both guide spirit looking at iceskating girl

[bitter shale]

yea

only brief

[soft hamlet]

I meanthis teaser

[bitter shale]

they watching the skater from afar

[soft hamlet]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1UsWN82Ir8

So the question I've been asking here was "is guide spirit the iceskating girl but older ?"

Saying this again for newcomers

Can't be sure about that. Maybe the picture here is the vision from guide spirit's eyes

Wha-

Sheesh ! The same hair as scaredy refugee

Hmm ?

[hushed steeple]

Plot twist: spirits can also collect candles to buy other spirit's cosmetics

Also explains the skater girl and come here spirit

Jkjk

O o p

[lone hull]

the prince is outta here, I think.

[grand swift]

[hushed steeple]

I WILL NEVER AGAIN PLAY THIS QUEST

[livid valley]

Why

[bitter shale]

pain

[livid valley]

oh

[icy spruce]

What

[bitter shale]

except if tgc actually add extra time

i might reconsider :>

[livid valley]

They will take away time

Make it harder make it worth the lore

[lone wigeon]

I did the quest 1st try and so many ppl appear to Have trouble with this
This makes me feel weird XD

[bitter shale]

basically postman and skater have a race. postman using their sled while the skater follow with only their skate shoe-

WHAT KIND OF TORTURE IS THIS

[lone wigeon]

Maybe thats how she died

Also

[bitter shale]

also postman teach the skater how to jump, it seems

[lone wigeon]

Does she really Have skate shoes?

[bitter shale]

idk man i cant imagine them skating with bare feet-

[lone wigeon]

I did not Have time to look at them while slideing down the slope and that makes me sad

They Arent barefoot

They do Have some shoes

[bitter shale]

well yea with shoes at least

[lone wigeon]

But they seem to be more like dancing shoes

[bitter shale]

except if you some madlads who didnt have nerves system

[lone wigeon]

So its not as bad as skate ones

Look, Sky kids can slide barefoot, stop overreacting XD

[bitter shale]

idk how thick their sole feet are, but they do indeed only wear pointee shoes-

[hushed steeple]

Hi, im back from my cr. Whats the top-

O k

[bitter shale]

[hushed steeple]

Suffering?

[bitter shale]

im suffering through lags and constant server merges so yeah you know the pain

[hushed steeple]

Ik how to fix that. I just turn off my wifi and wait a bit.

Pfft.

[bitter shale]

i did the same tbh

but the timer-

SO FAST

[hushed steeple]

Quickly do the quest before i merge server

[bitter shale]

[hushed steeple]

Anyway, yall were talking about s h o e s ?

I couldnt imagine skating without my ice-skating shoes-

That would be cold. Very cold.

Do you know how col-

[bitter shale]

i cant even stand up on skate shoes

[hushed steeple]

W h a t

[bitter shale]

i might just gonna surrender and become one with the ice rink

[hushed steeple]

I learnt ice skating when i was like 6

[bitter shale]

:"<

at least teach me how to stand on skate shoes-

[hushed steeple]

Just balance, my friend.

[bitter shale]

cause of pandemy they close the skate arena-

[hushed steeple]

Trial of air ok? B a l a n c e.

[bitter shale]

aight im gonna try after pandemy finished-

jk i will try after they open the ice skate again

dunno when they gonna open tho-

[hushed steeple]

You must have patience, resilience, balance and courage. Go on, redo the trials.

[bitter shale]

its been one month since i goes to the trials lmao

[hushed steeple]

Ice skating will be exactly the same.

[bitter shale]

well at least real life wont lags the same way my phone whenever i try to do a trial-

[hushed steeple]

Lol

[lone wigeon]

You’ll he surprised

[bitter shale]

stooooop dont scare me like that

[unkempt arch]

E

I need a topic so i can start a new essay

So what part of Sky? :>

Guess the chat is still dead

[compact olive]

They kidnapped the star child when they were supposed to set it back to mega bird

[signal blaze]

Hi, idk if this is the place to ask this but i know some people might have an answer for this question. So, why are there murals that have krills in them? were krills once creatures of lights and got corrupted or are they just there for no reason?

[compact olive]

There is no clear answer to that

In original concept art they were creatures of light 💡 corrupted by darkness

But since one developer said “there’s a rich ecology of light and darkness” everyone is split on whether krills are their own species since the beginning or if they were giant light creatures (like the one in sanctuary) devoid of light and corrupted by darkness

Short answer.... no one has definitive proof

To support either case

[signal blaze]

thank u

[compact olive]

I believe they were made into dark things as they don’t show up in any other murals except the prophecy mural (which tells the future) and the ark mural (which shows the storm@ of darkness)

[lucid glen]

Is there a clearer version of the murals someone made

[compact olive]

Im sure there’s some fan art version of the murals out there but I don’t think it’s an entirely finished product. There was once images which were pulled from the games source code but that was banned in this chat. Those were the clearest versions of the murals

Mind if I ask why you ask for a “clearer” version?

[lucid glen]

I don’t have the brain capacity to ingest the theories I’d make with it

[compact olive]

Does this help a bit?

I have to revise this to incorporate the newer murals from prophecy

[hushed steeple]

Guess I'm not sleeping tonight

[brave meteor]

Is there a higher res version of that?

[weak wharf]

Does anyone know what these sparklies are in this Enchantment spirit memory?

[potent lark]

maybe that’s light from when the spirits were alive? since it’s the same color

does anyone know the significance of the three sky children in orbit with mega bird? i’ve always wondered about them

[slender raptor]

when enchantment started there were no tents in the area as the quests arent out yet. the spirit memory contains those tents so they look overlapped with the tents you have rn

[weak wharf]

Oh that makes more sense then-

[brave meteor]

So when/how was the existence and role of the megabird confirmed? Or are we just guessing? This is the first I’ve heard of it.

[pseudo heart]

The old Light Awaits logo iirc hh

[covert niche]

It was quite a big thing in the concept art, and the huge cluster that appears in orbit also resembles it too(?) Though this is just my guess.

[pseudo heart]

In the ending scene too

[brave meteor]

Oh ok. I never really thought of it that way

[pseudo heart]

Though we don't know how much of the concepts made it into live

[brave meteor]

Normally I’m pretty big on lore but with sky I just can’t figure it out lol

[pseudo heart]

If we did then the lore chat wouldn't exist

Have yall seen the lore moff doc

Iirc Megabird was mentioned there

Uhhhh was she

Anyway

Time to sneep for me

gn!!

[pale geyser]

Have a good night!

[hoary violet]

So skykids don’t have fingers

That’s what I thought

bc spirits have fingers but we don’t

also uh

Does cork canonically exist

because the recharge potions have corks in them

or some kind of stopper

[cosmic timber]

cries in fingerless

[hushed steeple]

Good morning

I just woke up and didn’t do anything but pick up an i-pad what are we doin

[hoary violet]

Uh

I’m asking the lore guys stupid questions

[willow shoal]

I'm going to bed

[hushed steeple]

Look at how much king tall
He like a tower

This is the beta concepts just so u know mr king won’t be seeing any visitors apparently

[glad galleon]

why do dem kings have them asgore build-

[tribal badger]

buff

Actually no

w i d e

[glad galleon]

w i d e HSJSHSJDJSHD

sky king also had like a spear/staff as a weapon in the concept art right?

[tribal badger]

Yep!

On your way up eden as concept
The king had a spear to yeet at you

It was called The King's Spear

[glad galleon]

intens dodging

[true grove]

Everyone: eden king
Me: my time has come

[fickle onyx]

going trough that zone with the king would be terrifying

[hushed steeple]

t a l l

Also I want the king to come back I don’t care if he tries to eat our wings adjdfgrdfgds

[frail hearth]

same

[glad galleon]

honestly same omg-

terrifyingly epic

[glad galleon]

I mean anything just to debut right?

also is the village middle or low class of golden valley?

wait till hermit valley and we will all be shook

[hushed steeple]

Candles are money

Money is candles

[glad galleon]

our money turns to candles but never the other way around

[hushed steeple]

😳

ngl it feels weird with the currency being candles and them just being all over the place... like wouldnt the candles just be stolen?

So they stealing from us

I KNEW IT

They must be rich

He rich man
He knows the secret of candle make

He makes whole candles

We collect little wax to make candles

[hushed steeple]

No he makes the wax
gasps
He magic man

WOAH

LETS KIDNAP HIM

He’s the most powerful being in sky

How would we kidnap him

He’s too powerful

What dose he look like

Look

He make candle

Scary

He is small

I will knock him out

He’s just far away

But he is too stronk

Do not challenge him

:(( he is too stronge

He will eat turn your candles to red rocks

Oh no

He speaks with the candles

Gasp

He is the king in disguise

Omigod

The king

I ask him for candle

[glad galleon]

he seems like a scientist/innovator showing his new way of currency to higherups

[hushed steeple]

He says no

Cries

He looks like he broken

He annoyed at me

Imma run away before my candles gone

Ima go draw again

Ok back to lore

[glad galleon]

I was always curious about Memory Whisperer spirit

[pale geyser]

first we have to kidnap megan, dammit

[glad galleon]

like were they in charge for the memories for the spirit mantas or vault memories only? or were they also behind all the spirit memories in sky?

[glad galleon]

ill bring da kreb

[pale geyser]

yes, don't forget krebs, they will help us

[hushed steeple]

Stahp don’t think about kidnapping him your candles will die and you will be cursed to never get candles again

Kidnapping Megan is fine tho

[pale geyser]

lmao I just want megan, forget candlemaker

[glad galleon]

megan invented candle forging

they are always watching us through that blinking red dot

[pale geyser]

i mean-

idk

[hushed steeple]

So let’s get Megan!

[pale geyser]

maybe he too, is a wyrm

[hushed steeple]

Too bad I’m the only fork here HAHAHAHA

You see, he is lacking forkness

[pale geyser]

Remember mattpats theory about how the knight is a reincarnation of the king

[hushed steeple]

Yes the theory is trash

[pale geyser]

ikr

[hushed steeple]

Now back to sky lore

I’m jealous king uh

tall

He tower

It looks like they really wanted the forest elder to have an umbrella

Then vault man go squish

[pale geyser]

smol fork bug

[hushed steeple]

Shut

[pale geyser]

ooh, new theory, megan is the radiance

[hushed steeple]

Am not small

Please stop

Please

I hate the radiance

[lapis notch]

I ask of you

Who’s the kid on the right of Vault man?

[covert niche]

That’s the prince

[lapis notch]

So small 😭

[compact olive]

I can make a higher resolution image of the time line. I still haven’t even finished it. I’m only 2/3rds done.

And yes the Mega bird is all over the concept art, however, the bird can be seen at the very end of the. Credits after Eden/orbit completion. So this (and the location of orbit and the floating spirits dying towards orbit) confirms there is a giant bird like image made of all of the light(souls) in the galaxy.

Because there is literally only a few hand fulls of written text in the entire game much of the mega bird is not wholly confirmed by words but rather by visuals.

Things like knights bowing to a bird like candle 🕯 and bird statues bringing you home and the stars forming a bird are what point to “what made it into the game” as far as concept art is concerned.

[true grove]

Ajkajskakakakakamak i need this chat to be alive for what i'm about to show

[compact olive]

It’s the same with the prince. Though not by name, there is mural art of a child of light with a special star 🌟 like crown/mask/head, for example in the prophecy murals in isle of dawn. This doesn’t 100% confirm it is a prince, but the concept art helps us to understand who this is/was supposed to represent

Bring it Yash

I’m alive

[true grove]

So i went exploring a bit in wasteland battlefield

Andd

[glad galleon]

omg why cant i sleep hH

[compact olive]

Because sleep is for the weak!!

[glad galleon]

i am weak das why i need sleep but hH-

[compact olive]

What did you find in battlefield Yash?

[glad galleon]

i wann seee

[compact olive]

(Does deep call to energize Fine Tyler’s cape of light)

[hushed steeple]

W h a t

What did you find

[glad galleon]

i like how we are jus impatient at this point

[compact olive]

Yash is toying with us. The anticipation is growing!!

[true grove]

King statue seems to have a slot for diamond and he is holding it

All of the statues on the temple/castle have glowing eyes i'm guessing they were building something big

I'm not exactly sure if it was the power diamond in eden or maybe king was trying to absorb the power of crystal

So war may have happened between the king, the dark creatures, king's followers and other wasteland elder/sun shield team

Sorry my internet connection isn't the fastest

[compact olive]

Oh that’s the battle turret gun

[true grove]

Gun

[glad galleon]

that- gun?-

the gw temple has a gun?-

[hushed steeple]

It’s just king statue

[compact olive]

Yeah In concept art you were supposed to dodge it’s blast like a krill searching for you. It’s the cities gate tower defenses

[hushed steeple]

Ye

[compact olive]

They’re all guns. It had like 8 total

[glad galleon]

wait are the statues the guns or is it on the- oH

[compact olive]

It’s what shot holes in the creatures in graveyard

Statues are guns

Transformers I

You’ll find it in the Tomcepts

Tom concept art

[glad galleon]

what in the high tech was wasteland in-

[compact olive]

Yeah, pretty high tech. The creatures didn’t stand a chance against their defenses

[true grove]

So my legend of korra mecha tank theory is ded

[compact olive]

I’ll try to post the concept art but I have to dig

Brb

[glad galleon]

omg tysm im so curious now

i should really read through the concept art sometime

i stopped after seeing the old krill-

[hushed steeple]

Corrupt king fighting stuff

In the bottom right corner

He look scary

[glad galleon]

I bet he was strict when he was leading wow

[hushed steeple]

I want to stand on his head

He tall

[glad galleon]

takes 5 flaps to reach his height i bet

[true grove]

Yess

So they are cannons

[compact olive]

Yup

[glad galleon]

omg it do dem transformer stuff whoah

[true grove]

So much security to protect vault huh

[compact olive]

And the black bones in graveyard with holes are dead creatures shot by those canons

[hushed steeple]

I like the king
He tall tower I give him me wings
So I get tall too

[glad galleon]

he seems sweet but hH

i wanna see him in a cutscene in the future

[compact olive]

What is hH ?

You have seen him

[true grove]

So wasteland was in a hole before storm

[compact olive]

In prince form

[glad galleon]

hhhHHH like jus a sigh yknow

[true grove]

Suddenly underwater theory seems to fit

It also looks like a mine

[glad galleon]

I mean,,, there is dark water scattered across the realm

[compact olive]

Wasteland is basically a defensive fort dug around the mountain 🏔 that housed the beacon point where mega bird picked up souls/light

[glad galleon]

so it was a high security base to protect information ans stuff?

[brave meteor]

Sorry to interrupt but what’s the underwater theory?

[compact olive]

not just info

But the beacon to the mega bird as well

It’s dubbed the “holy land”

[true grove]

Imagine those towers spotting you in battle field then you you see cannon/diamonds shooting towards you

[glad galleon]

wing light? more like fireworks

[compact olive]

Eden is the city built on the holy land and vault is the elevator library to the city of Eden and wasteland is the fortification around both

[glad galleon]

omg im glad the canons are broken and deactivated hH

[true grove]

The wasteland was underwater then all that water was transferred to the factories to cool the diamonds

[brave meteor]

Oooooo that makes a lot of sense

[glad galleon]

so is Eden restricted? or is Vault the one restricted? or is both?

i sound so stooped rn its like about to be 3am here-

[true grove]

Imagine a moff activating the diamond in front of the fort and the towers get activated and spotting you

[brave meteor]

I think it would make more sense for vault to be off limits

Since it’s the vault

[glad galleon]

I can imagine other people using boats for transportation to eden instead of going through vault

[brave meteor]

Yeah

[glad galleon]

but we have it the hard way

[true grove]

Vault's name was forbidden Vault once before release

[true grove]

What was the diamond about

[glad galleon]

vault was broken and blew up right? was it the ones who broke in or was it the higher ups intention to not leak info?

[compact olive]

That’s the hard part

[glad galleon]

the archives seem like there was a break in

[compact olive]

The diamonds ♦️ in general are power diamonds

They use up light to create power or energy

However the giant red one in the storm of Eden is where the child of light / the prince is located (when you hug him)

So it could have been used to block up the holy land beacon to absorbs its power.

[brave meteor]

Do they use it up though? Or just require it to activate? You don’t really lose light while using your candle to activate stuff

[glad galleon]

sry guys i should sleep now, i have classes in like 5 hours

[true grove]

I want this wasteland even if i die

[glad galleon]

nahhh dat look like a roblox obby-

jkjk sry gnightHSJDJDHS

[true grove]

[compact olive]

They use it up

That’s why they need more creatures at first

So here’s a simple explanation of it

[true grove]

They used diamond first?

I thought creatures were used before

[compact olive]

Creatures of light give off light. Or fire 🔥 depending on the context.

They willingly gave this to the ancestors to help them with their needs.

But then....

In hidden Forest the ancestors learned how to pull light from the creature with darkness (power diamonds ♦️)

This not only pulled it from them but it could be used to drain them so much it would

Drain the creatures physical forms to black sludge

[fading peak]

.... are you saying that the toxic water in the wasteland is drained creatures?

[true grove]

so wasteland water is manta juice

Now i will cry over every bone in wasteland

[fading peak]

Bruh this is one dark meme

[true grove]

So the beacon was there from start or elders build it after falling from sky to return to space

[compact olive]

Was there from the start. It is on every planet

[fading peak]

They’ve been trying to return to the heavens where they fell from? Still wondering what caused them to fall

[compact olive]

It’s is how creature and ancestors reincarnate

[true grove]

[compact olive]

That depends on your interpretation of the world

Could have been greed

[true grove]

I need to dig deeper in vault

[compact olive]

They seem to have moved away from their god or the mega bird and seemed to have created technology to do things on their own

[true grove]

Mega bird ahhh wait

[fading peak]

Perhaps they suffered from an emp and now their equivalent of Silicon Valley has fallen to ruin, nature reclaiming it

[compact olive]

Concept art says the use of power diamonds caused the creatures of light to become creatures of darkness

[hushed steeple]

Slurps manta juice

[true grove]

They did try it in early beta

[hushed steeple]

Manta juice tastes good

[true grove]

So it's a cycle with no end

[hushed steeple]

I love this new manta juice

I recommend you try it

[true grove]

[hushed steeple]

Y e s

[fading peak]

This feels like people recommending blood pancakes to people who have never had blood pancakes

[hushed steeple]

Blood sausage, (German thing) tastes really good

Back to lore

[fading peak]

So, this is legit the first time I’ve ever seen a depiction of the megabird

Very pretty

[tough path]

What do yall think sparkler spirit’s title is gonna be?

[true grove]

Ahhhhhhhhhh

I have one more thing

All the towers are missing the diamonds

[brave meteor]

Prolly for the best

Don’t wanna get shot by lasers

[true grove]

And krills have those blue diamonds so-
Darkness may've used those diamonds and boom krill is born

[steady tundra]

me: talks about lore

friend who doesn't know I played longer than him and he acts like I'm more of a moth than him: mega bird isn't in the game

me: I said this was not confirmed canon but-

[lethal stump]

those are statues of the king, not towers

[brave meteor]

Ohhhh

[steady tundra]

okay it's canon that the king's head is a diamond

[compact olive]

I have to get back to work

[lethal stump]

do not cite the ancient texts to me, for I was there when it was written

[true grove]

Those were watch tower that trigger cannons

[true grove]

[lethal stump]

the devs have confirmed they're just king statues

iirc Ash (Concept Artist) referred to them solely as such

however, the statues on top of the temple are more remeniscent of the "turret" or "cannon" concept

[true grove]

King statues that were watch towers

[steady tundra]

no where is safe-

[true grove]

I went exploring today and yes

So- now what's the mystery if we know everything

[fading peak]

So, Dusk is what the wasteland was called before it went all wrong and it used to be a fortress/major city?

[brave meteor]

I think

[true grove]

Not city but like a fort gates to protect eden and vault.
Like the main defense

[brave meteor]

It represents midlife crisis too right

[true grove]

They were thought to be different stages of life so ye

[fading peak]

Yeah I remember seeing that billboard in the office

[brave meteor]

You know with all the themes of fire and rebirth, could megabird be a phoenix?

[hushed steeple]

Well from now it is to me.

[hushed steeple]

I’m back

And gone again

[nimble sphinx]

What is Lore?

[finite lava]

could the story of Sky be a metaphor?

or many metaphors?

[hushed steeple]

Hi, i got some time so any topi-

What is happening

[finite lava]

I dont know if im allowed to say this but my friend and I were talking and im just wondering- could the story of sky perhaps connect to the bible in any way?

[hushed steeple]

M a y b e?

||I mean, just look at eden-||

[finite lava]

exactly

[stable zodiac]

Well for starters the word Eden is connected to religion according to the definition.

[finite lava]

oop heres my other friend lol

[hushed steeple]

Eden's story could be connected. What about the other realms?

[stable zodiac]

The other realms represent the stages in life.

[hushed steeple]

Mhm?

[hushed steeple]

No I don’t think so.
I see why they would name it that but I don’t see why they would brink religious stuffs

[finite lava]

hold on ill maybe join in later- im trying to see what another friend thinks rn

[hushed steeple]

Well i think it could be connected in some way. But to me, its just eden-

Yea

I don’t feel like they would want to bring it in
You know?

Just because

It’ll get complicated

And stuffs

So

ea

Ok, so new topic pls. i wish to write an essay

Yes new topic

...

Hhhh

[stable zodiac]

Sorry had to get images of the first cutscene so you can hopefully understand better.

So we talked about it and broke down what we know. If you look at Adam and Even and the garden of Eden. That’s basically what happened post Eden. All was good and then everything went down hill. Look at these images, that’s basically what happened.

[finite lava]

Leo they said change of topic

It may be better if yunno 👉 👈

[stable zodiac]

Aw man so then we really can’t talk about sky lore if it involves religion? Darn I was ready to blow these people’s minds.

[finite lava]

We can talk more in dms if you would like :>

[graceful osprey]

those are more like laser-blasting turrets

[hushed steeple]

No, but I checked it, and a lot of stories are like this. Some of the Bible’s stories were inspired by older stuff too (I’m sorry don’t be mean to me). So there is a big chain of influence and stuff, plus I don’t think they would uh, put religion in because it would get complicated and uh, talking about stuffs like this gets me feeling weird let’s talk about other stuff

Back to wasteland cannons

[stable zodiac]

You’re not being mean but the word Eden is a religious word. But yeah I see what you mean.

[graceful osprey]

nobody:

Sky king: I do as the crystal guides

[hushed steeple]

Nobody:
Sky king: T A L L

[graceful osprey]

resize potions go brrr

[winter haven]

Hey everyone, just a thought after reading a little of the topic.
In the season of Dreams we get this Ultimate gifts who seems like a Phoenix (to me). I don't know how end the season of Dreams, don't want to spoil myself, so I clearly can be really wrong on this. But I thought, "What if the ultimate cosmetics is the costume that the skater girl wear for her big show ?" Would it then be a representation of the Megabird ? Just an idea...

[hushed steeple]

Look at tall sky king

He tower of a man

[graceful osprey]

im quite sure he is the size of the turrets in gw

[hushed steeple]

So

Ye prob right

[graceful osprey]

what if eden diamond fits in the king's helmet

[hushed steeple]

It may be megabirb

[hushed steeple]

King: monches diamond: POWER UP

[graceful osprey]

oh my...

[stable zodiac]

Well I personally think the phoenix cape and mask as an ultimate reward is very fitting creature for sky. ||Considering skykids and phoenixes are both reborn.||

[graceful osprey]

i was tginking more of just shoving into his face

no need to spoiler here

[hushed steeple]

Slams face into diamond
yes

[graceful osprey]

this is a spoiler channel

yes

[stable zodiac]

Wait really?

[graceful osprey]

lorechat has become meme chat

[graceful osprey]

yes

#lore-discussion-spoilers

[stable zodiac]

Oh did not know that.

[hushed steeple]

Ye. I told him
Also no need to spoiler here!

No for her, she doesnt wanna be spoiled

It’s a spoiler channel

[finite lava]

hello. Before I heard that the gates could represent stages of life? is this true?

[hushed steeple]

Morgane doesnt want to be spoiled on season of dreams

[graceful osprey]

well the different realms can

[finite lava]

what stages?

[graceful osprey]

dunno about the gates

[graceful osprey]

of life

[finite lava]

oh yeah realms right

[hushed steeple]

Not the gates, but the stages yes

[finite lava]

sorry I call them gates

im dumb lol

[hushed steeple]

There’s concept art saying that

[finite lava]

where can I find it?

[winter haven]

Oh it's ok ! I'm happy to be confirmed in this, just don't want to see the cinematics 😉

[hushed steeple]

Lol

[hushed steeple]

Thats the office posters one right? If not, i have no idea whats happening

Yes

Office posters

Oof

[hushed steeple]

That’s old me

It’s an old photo I had to dig up, sorry it took long

I’m a moth there

[finite lava]

ahhh I guessed it!

ok thank you!

[fading peak]

I’m laughing a bit that one of the most moody elders represents teenage years

[pulsar iris]

Just to add, I think the sky universe in in a solar system with three other planets..||(no contact has been made as of yet)||

[hushed steeple]

Ye

It is

[fading peak]

||It is possible, and it could tie into the fact that you can go to space and visit a space station. Maybe the world is more connected similar to lay lines which could be used as mental portals||

[finite lava]

crying emote 😳

[fading peak]

You look at Teth and tell me she doesn’t act like a moody teen

[finite lava]

truee

man sky is so cool

[fading peak]

It is

[hushed steeple]

Hi im back, whats up-

[fading peak]

This server is scaring me a lot, but this lore chat is helping keeping me calm

[hushed steeple]

Oh oop-

[finite lava]

I havent looked at the other parts of the server in a while

general makes me anxious tho lmao

[fading peak]

We talking space and king turrets

[hushed steeple]

I have never talked in gen chat

N e v e r

[finite lava]

ive,,t r i e d

[hushed steeple]

I only look in 3 channels

[fading peak]

I might have made the mistake of suggesting a pirate treasure hunt season in there oops

[hushed steeple]

This, beta updates, and looking for group. These are the only channels i frequently look into.

[stable zodiac]

That’s ironic.

[fading peak]

How so?

[finite lava]

I kinda want that lmao

sKykId wiTh eYepaTcH

y e s

[hushed steeple]

Y e s

[stable zodiac]

Because usually lore makes people overwhelmed by theories and such.

[willow shoal]

What??

[hushed steeple]

Sharing braincells is gud

[finite lava]

tis fun

[willow shoal]

[fading peak]

Hilariously enough, I prefer learning and talking about folklore and archeology than about random stuff that goes at a speed that could break the sound barrier

[willow shoal]

anyone knows What's that in the middle?

[stable zodiac]

Same, I’d rather discuss theories or ideas because it’s a work out for my brain. Where as talking about random things just makes me lose braincells.

[fading peak]

Speaking of archeology. Do you think that this world of sky is similar to the myth of Atlantis? Like, I like to imagine that as the game goes on we can be revealed more areas that will reveal how the people used to live and possibly what might have led to the elders being seen as gods I guess would be a good word?

[wind bone]

The topic has passed but please do not talk about beta spoilers here

[finite lava]

woah ive never thought about that bef-

huh?

[hushed steeple]

Mr tall king man I thinks

[wind bone]

Someone spoiled what happens at the end of dreams so I deleted it

[finite lava]

ohh ok

[pulsar iris]

Maybe only the elders and king were tall

[willow shoal]

ohhh

[stable zodiac]

That monster.

[fading peak]

From how the temples are so intricate, those things we’re definitely built with time, so I’m certain the elders were seen as gods that the spirits worshiped along with the king. Maybe they didn’t acknowledge the megabird and that lead to some downfall?

[pulsar iris]

Awhile ago someone said there were giants in sky... like the weapon sizes in wasteland

[stable zodiac]

I mean skykids are the small bunch not even taller than the quest giver or spirits in general. smh

[fading peak]

-gasp- what if the elders and kings believed themselves to be higher and greater than the megabird and it resulted in an Icarus scenario? Fly too close to the sun and you might get burned

[hushed steeple]

Maybe as to they get older they get taller?

[willow shoal]

Skykids won'tgo older

[stable zodiac]

That’s what I was thinking. I think the downfall had something to do with not listening to megabird and so the stars fell and their light was no longer infinite.

[hushed steeple]

I mean the spirits

[willow shoal]

Ancestors?

[hushed steeple]

Yes ancestors but most of us call them spirits by now. It doesn’t matter what you call them

[pulsar iris]

The original spirits are all taller than a max height sky kid. I was saying that with the objects we see, the spirits aren’t even proportional. So giants

[stable zodiac]

Ah.

[hushed steeple]

Turrets and old wasteland path concept

That’s what the statues were for

[fading peak]

But what happened to the diamonds?

[hushed steeple]

They probably fell out with time

[willow shoal]

Corrupted, Exploded

[hushed steeple]

There a theory floating around that they misused diamond tech and fell

Hi, im back for the third time-

Let me go back to screenshots

[willow shoal]

their falls were caused By The giant Ark or Darkness

[fading peak]

I mean, other diamonds and power sources remain. What do you think happened to the diamonds in the turrets? Either something moved them or they broke apart and are buried under the sand

[winter haven]

Could the Krills have attacked it ?

[fading peak]

Why would they?

[pulsar iris]

Wasteland looks pretty crappy compared to the other realms.. maybe degradation

[willow shoal]

guys, turrets never took place in the live or beta test

[hushed steeple]

It be concept

[fading peak]

We can still talk about concepts, tho, right?

[pulsar iris]

Don’t see why not

[winter haven]

I mean they attack us because of our light, and where there is Krills there is no diamonds... if they produce some light that attract them... maybe ?

[willow shoal]

Things in game Are more important and believable than that never appeared

[pulsar iris]

Sky had a lot of terrifying concepts for us hahaha... there were extra creatures and mines but toned it down in favor of just crabs and krill

||Concepts may be added in later so I think they’re worthy of discussion||

[stable zodiac]

How about we tone it up now? Getting bored of krills.

[pulsar iris]

I’m saying!

[pulsar iris]

Remember at the beginning of wasteland where the manta gets eaten? I think any appearance of light is either their food or their enemy

[willow shoal]

we could use concept art to be part of our theory, but sometimes we need to think highly of the things in game

[willow shoal]

[pulsar iris]

I know journey isn’t sky... but in journey the krill adjacent creatures flee from too much light, but take out the cape people whenever seen. If a lot of light was exposed to the krill what do you all think will happen?

[willow shoal]

it just destroys your light not eats

I think nothing will happen

[pulsar iris]

...

Maybe they inecenerate

[stable zodiac]

When I first saw Wasteland I looked around and noticed the place is a castle in a desert. Also the shipwreck area looks like a harbor. So it’s possible that’s where all the trading and shipments happened at. Also I could be wrong but I remember hearing some kind of seagull/bird noises at the shipwreck area.

The salute spirit’s memories also shows a spirit heading off on a boat.

[willow shoal]

[pulsar iris]

So wasteland was a port city? Exporting what to where?

[willow shoal]

GW was a city or factory

[stable zodiac]

To other places we don’t know anything about. But I believe shipwreck area was definitely a harbor.

[winter haven]

I always thought it was a military base...

[pulsar iris]

🤔🤔🤔🤔

Let’s see

[stable zodiac]

Maybe? The pipes in Wasteland are probably the sewer system. But other than that not sure how it could’ve been a factory?

[willow shoal]

#lore-discussion-spoilers message

[pulsar iris]

The first area after social area in wasteland has temples similar to valley. When you oob out you see more buildings similar to valley

[willow shoal]

looking through these and you will find GW is a forbidden place

[stable zodiac]

Oh yeah I remember those.

[pulsar iris]

So we know the birds lead the way, we see them in forest and we see them in prairie... are they seen in valley after you leave the stadium?

[fading peak]

I said this before but I was under the impression that the Golden wasteland was either a fortress or a metropolitan city. And from the old concept art and how close the waste is to the vault, I believe it could have been a fortress to protect the vault from invaders

[winter haven]

Oh ok make sense. Or could it be possible that the city was here but the rest of GW was the military base of Sky ? The city got wiped out somehow ?

[pulsar iris]

Maybe wasteland was a sub city of valley, a lower class area of sorts

[willow shoal]

looking into the whole journey of sky, we follow the birds’ steps except wasteland
uhhh, I guess the strong wind eye of wasteland just blows the birds apart and they reunite at the exit of graveyard
Yeah, which make me think going to GW was an accident. We were not intended to go there
ferryman doesn’t want to show us the sadden and dark history of sky

[pulsar iris]

I think it became a base later on... there were refugees there, implying that it was habitable at one point. Also that spirit seems to be leaving wasteland by going back up the clouds towards valley

[fading peak]

And yet we must learn it regardless

[fading peak]

Ooooh that sounds like it makes more sense. It could have become more militarized as the years went on and darker times approached

Maybe as a resulting order from the king who had become corrupt in some way?

[pulsar iris]

I think the ferryman simply did not know, isle’s shrine is left out of a lot of stuff and it’s so far away from wasteland they could have not seen it and sent us on our way

[pulsar iris]

Crazy thing is, we still don’t know who they were fighting?

[winter haven]

Is it not Darkness ?

[fading peak]

Perhaps there wasn’t any actual enemy? Maybe the king had become paranoid in his corruption

[gilded spoke]

whats popping yall

[fading peak]

Yo, we talking about the wasteland

[gilded spoke]

ok

[willow shoal]

maybe Ferryman wants the birds lead us to the Eden but accidentally the birds crashed at the Eye of GW

[gilded spoke]

whos ferryman?

the king?

[pulsar iris]

... you got me thinking, maybe there’s an upper level of wasteland were the birds travel, but the wind flushes us downward

[lone wigeon]

This guy has a point XD
What if hide and seek spirit is even taller, and the chibi mask is the only thing that can make them shrink to acceptable size? XD

[fading peak]

The birds could be flying above the clouds

[winter haven]

Above the clouds maybe.

[pulsar iris]

Birds get flushed with us nvm.. but aren’t seen under the clouds

[fading peak]

they dieded

[gilded spoke]

actually we see the birds in the end of graveyard

[lone wigeon]

Heck, there are even birds in Eden

[pulsar iris]

? You have a screenshot

[pulsar iris]

They travel by pipe, super safe

[gilded spoke]

no

[lone wigeon]

Its the graveyard entrentace to the battlefield

[gilded spoke]

yes

[winter haven]

Oh maybe it's same in GW ? But we don't see the pipe they use.

[pulsar iris]

Are birds... large projections?

[exotic berry]

I didn’t realize there was grass in GW’s social space.

[winter haven]

Of what ?

[pulsar iris]

Just projections.. I say that cause they just fly, never land or rest, or follow us around like manta or butterflies

[exotic berry]

They land during the Bird Caller’s memory. I’ll go take a pic~

[winter haven]

Oh I see.... Could the birds be some sort of "Lights of life" ? The river of life or something like that.

[pulsar iris]

It’s strange cause that’s a memory... but they don’t interact with us in modern day. Are they even real??

[exotic berry]

All creatures seem to either be born of light, or by light’s lack.

Either the dev’s didn’t want to worry about collision boxes, or the fact that every creature we see slides through solid matter shows that they’re not like creatures we know.

[rapid juniper]

I think the birds are mega bird

[winter haven]

Oh yes like Megabird parts ! And they go back to Eden to merge back !

[pulsar iris]

Bunch of minor birds

[rapid juniper]

Yeah I think so

I think the creatures are dead to

[exotic berry]

It’s possible, I suppose. All things seem to migrate back to the holy land’s light for rebirth.

[pseudo heart]

Ah yes hh

[rapid juniper]

Yes

[pulsar iris]

Then there’s the small flock in home 🤔

[pseudo heart]

Well everything goes to the holy land for rebirth

Uhhh except dark creatures

[pulsar iris]

A FORESAKEN REALM FOR KRILL??

👀

[pseudo heart]

Well we don't see any dark creatures during ascension so xjjsnd

[hushed steeple]

But imagine.....crabs leap off the ground and fly back to dark orbit

[winter haven]

The Dark creatures aren't affected by the circle of rebirth I think. It would go well with this concept of ying and yang going on.

[hushed steeple]

Or dark orbit is down.

Yeah. I agree. I think dark creatures do not rebirth.

[rapid juniper]

Yeah they don’t

[pulsar iris]

The opposite of a cycle is a lack of one

[fading peak]

The dark creatures are cursed to roam this life until all is destroyed or saved

[pulsar iris]

So maybe they’re already in the bad place

Is their curse immortality then?

[fading peak]

Possibly, I know that it can be a horrible curse

[hushed steeple]

They don’t seem.....all that sentient.

[pulsar iris]

I guess lack of renewal causes that

[hushed steeple]

That would be a fun thought, that Krills used to be sentient people, but living to darn long turned them into animals.

[winter haven]

Maybe. And since there is not much light around they suffer through it. If we stay in the theory that light and darkness can't live without the other.

[fading peak]

They’ve been in that singular life for so long that it’s made them go insane perhaps? Like, they’re unresponsive to some things and aware to others(ie skykids and mantas)

[hushed steeple]

But most light creature also seem like animals. And they go for rebirth too.

[fading peak]

But those animals are of light, they can rebirth. Creatures of darkness don’t seem to do that

[hushed steeple]

Im not sure if spirits are light based, but considering you can stand near active spirits and be recharged, im gonna say they are.

[pulsar iris]

Light creatures do not attack, they heal, and respond to kids of light. Dont know how many times the manta in forest has saved my life 😭

[pulsar iris]

Maybe their dead form is made of light. Since they’re waiting for us in orbit

[exotic berry]

Or it’s their residual life force/their state of being alleviated from their burdens.

In concept art, it explains that we’re purifying spirits by using our candle, which goes back to my thought that the spirits are tied to their past life due to a strong emotion.

[stable zodiac]

0 they don’t even come to me when I manta call. Also I saved them from the darkness plant and no flight power. So I had to walk to a light source and almost lost all of my light.

[queen locust]

They come to you on their own- experienced it enough tryna burn that plant on top of Light Miner's cave

also good morning lore chat-

[pulsar iris]

Also the manta in valley help if you’re airborne

[stable zodiac]

I know that but they aren’t helpful for that reason. They don’t come to you when you need them.

[hushed steeple]

I think the spirits are trapped on sky kingdom due to the eden explosion. They look like statues just like the frozen sky kids in eden. When they get coated in the dark powder, they can’t fly to orbit.

[exotic berry]

Good morning to you. Evening for me.

[queen locust]

Aw now that's not fair on them- mantas are being living beings too, you can't expect them to be ENTIRELY subservient

[stable zodiac]

Well if they weren’t trapped then we would see no spirits in Sky. Expressions to get or anything.

[pulsar iris]

That makes sense, since there’s darkness found in every realm except vault

[hushed steeple]

but how many times have I freed the manta with 1 flap left and it just goes “ok see ya!”

[pulsar iris]

Places that are exposed to open air recover faster

[exotic berry]

And they raid Prairie villages, yoinking unsuspecting Skykids off their perches and sailing back to the clouds.

[stable zodiac]

Mhm.

[queen locust]

I'm sure that's not what they meant to do lmao

And it's not fair to assume they have the same level of sentience as a skid that can approach another skid in need of light

[icy spruce]

what

[queen locust]

Not saying they AREN'T sentient to some degree tho

[hushed steeple]

And the ones in Vault you have to race to the end or they will keep swishing you away from the candles....

[icy spruce]

so, what's the topic or smthng

[pulsar iris]

😭😭😭 be nice to them they’re trying to help 😭😭😭

[exotic berry]

Not really much of one. Right now it’s just how mantas behave.

[stable zodiac]

Regardless, they don’t give you light when you need it. Not a bad thing or a good thing. They just don’t.

[exotic berry]

”DOHOHOHO YOURE COMING WITH ME TO THE SKYYYY”

[queen locust]

I guess the lesson is that not everybody can be Manta Whisperers lmao

[hushed steeple]

That they target sky kids low on flight and swarm them seems to be some form of instinct or intelligence. Who know.

[pulsar iris]

Also after the final quest in sanctuary, the manta flock comes to you and help if you’re dying in mid air

[icy spruce]

I

[fading peak]

I mean, I think that butterflies are more helpful. But mantas, similar to the birds and butterflies and jellyfish don’t really seem to be aware of skids the same way skids are aware of them

[queen locust]

how do you die in Sanctuary in mid-air

[pulsar iris]

Not dying per say, more running out of wings

[queen locust]

ooohhhhh

[icy spruce]

ye

[pulsar iris]

If you scream at them they start to swarm

[hushed steeple]

All the manta swarm spin behind you in sanctuary. Are we sure they are not trying to eat us?

[queen locust]

do any of the creatures we see even need to eat

[pulsar iris]

Uh

[stable zodiac]

Nah mantas aren’t as loyal as butterflies. They come to your beckoning deep call or your hand when using the butterfly emote.😌

[gilded spoke]

light

[winter haven]

Maybe they just need light to life.

[queen locust]

Emphasis on the word need btw

[hushed steeple]

Prolly not. Maybe krills eat the pain of children, because they sure don’t seem to care about the light after its bashed out of us.

[queen locust]

they feed off our fear and frustration lmao

[pulsar iris]

Which is why using the home trick is ethical

[queen locust]

like pLEASE JUST LET US BURN THIS GIANT CORPSE PLANT

[pseudo heart]

Where? In sanc?

[queen locust]

Nah- Graveyard

[stable zodiac]

Krills don’t like beings with light ex: skykids and mantas.

[pseudo heart]

oh

[gilded spoke]

cremated sneak stance

[pseudo heart]

The gy plant lmaoo

[hushed steeple]

The true final boss plant in wasteland

[pseudo heart]

It's fun to burn it

[stable zodiac]

The big plant in Sanctuary I don’t even bother burning it. It’s too big so I wait for it to be burned when server hopping.

[queen locust]

anyway- if a creature made of light eats light does that count as food- like yeah I know they have mouths but we don't see them actually eat

[gilded spoke]

cremated belly rub emote

[hushed steeple]

How do we know thats not their eyes?

[queen locust]

Same goes for anything else really

[pseudo heart]

Mantas hab mouths—

Wait

What are we talking about anyway

[pseudo heart]

I'm in class djhebdbenwnsnxnehs

[winter haven]

Mmmm I think they more like absorb it. Like frog through their "skin".

[pulsar iris]

So the real question is. Does anything in sky need food??? The spirits in ark farmed but never ate!

[queen locust]

They have mouths because look at that thing that is a mouth and I find it terrifying

[gilded spoke]

MOUTH

[hushed steeple]

Aside from dubious manta light spot, I doubt there is a single mouth in all of sky

[queen locust]

do you not see the thing I just sent-

[pulsar iris]

Do they speak through emote then?

[hushed steeple]

Aside from the dubious manta light spot-

[queen locust]

that is a m o u t h

[stable zodiac]

I don’t think they do. I think it’s just light or darkness that the two kinds of creatures feed off of.

[gilded spoke]

yes mouth

[queen locust]

No I'm not talking about the light spot

[hushed steeple]

Oh

OH NOW I SEE IT

ITS A MUPPET

[fading peak]

The mantas are secretly the descendants of Kermit the Frog

[queen locust]

is Kermit the King

[icy spruce]

what

wha t i n me ga n

[pulsar iris]

If something doesn’t eat is it alive?

[fading peak]

KING KERMIT

[queen locust]

Depends on what constitutes as alive in this universe

We know mantas leave bones so they can die

[pulsar iris]

True

[hushed steeple]

Oh wait. Bird call feeds birds.

[pulsar iris]

Since sky ppl have graves then that implies corpses

[tribal badger]

photosynthesis

[pulsar iris]

And the dead bird in valley means they can die as well (doesn’t decay which is REALLY WEIRD)

[hushed steeple]

Eat vague white light pellets

[stable zodiac]

The only creatures that are alive in Sky are anything but the spirits.

[pseudo heart]

The bird in the citadel is an LA resource

[tribal badger]

dead undecaying bodies are.. Odd..

[hushed steeple]

Is it a real bird?

[queen locust]

And I'm pretty sure that bird is a statue-

has anyone tried stepping on it

[pseudo heart]

It's an ode to old Sky,, it's just.. there

[hushed steeple]

Either way it means swallows exist somewhere

[stable zodiac]

Why did they call old home space Aviary?

[hushed steeple]

I will take this along with old Prairie and Forest face, and office poster for “technically still in the game” points.

[pseudo heart]

Homespace is different from aviary hh

[pulsar iris]

Used to be a bird nest

I was never there and I miss it

[hushed steeple]

I want. A big nest in home island.

[queen locust]

Big nest for giant skid cuddle pile

[hushed steeple]

It can be a gift from the spirits because they just wanted to see what would happen.

[pseudo heart]

Wait lore xndjs

[pulsar iris]

I think what happened, was the devs sacrificed space for a day and night cycle that lined up with the skykid’s timezone

[hushed steeple]

I like home island better anyway. Its cozy.

[stable zodiac]

I just want home space to have a place where you can play games with your friends. So far skating is one thing but that won’t stay forever.

[hushed steeple]

I heard once the distant islands where where the opening takes place, is that true?

[queen locust]

Oh ye- talked about that yesterday

[pulsar iris]

I just wish it lined up with lore? It’s a time dependent liminal space where kids pop in and out of existence

[winter haven]

Maybe... but like the cycle doesn't work that well. I mean, even if I'm in the middle of the afternoon (when I play mostly) I always get night XD

[pseudo heart]

It actually existed way before homespace island, at the first it was only the loading area

There'd be an island with a portal in front of you, your skid would hold the hand of an npc at some point. When you enter the portal, you'll start the game

[pulsar iris]

You gotta tap the spirit again, it switches to night when interacting with a spirit, it only changes though when it’s not night for your time

[hushed steeple]

I don’t know how it would work lore wise. Your kid shoots down from orbit each time you log on? Your kid wakes up? Dunno.

[pseudo heart]

That island grew into homespace that we know today hhh

[hushed steeple]

Random thought

What if those realms were one big area, but then continental drift stuff happened-

[pseudo heart]

homespace turns to night so we can see the stars....

I think what we should take away here is that homespace has an actual daylight cycle

[hushed steeple]

Homespace seems pretty much created for sky kids. Imagine spirits jotting in for unlocks and thinking “this is where they live?”

[pseudo heart]

Quest master—

[pulsar iris]

I was thinking maybe like.... stuff on the walls, and maybe a giant homing beakon/ shrine... the last thing the elders built because they knew we were coming

[hushed steeple]

Quest giver is designated parent for the season.

[stable zodiac]

I think they are in one big area but it’s a cloud. Because I don’t know if it’s true but according to this all the realms in Sky are in a cloud.

[hushed steeple]

Aight

They said something about the portals for each realm supposed to look like a progression, some gates being older. Maybe home island was a long time in progress.

[pseudo heart]

LMAO,, off-season questmaster giving the new season questmaster a pat in the back and a "good luck for what ever you'll see there"

[hushed steeple]

Or they just exported some portals.

[queen locust]

Sleepy Traveller: yeah good luck these children are nuts

ST: And they have tables

[pastel brook]

Hello? Is it me you're looking for? I can see it in your eyes

[pseudo heart]

beware of the tables

[pulsar iris]

||Beware the prophecy ||

[stable zodiac]

Also I learned about this bug and another reason I think all the realms take place in a cloud is because Hidden Forest is.

[icy spruce]

what?

oh

[hushed steeple]

Isnt that more just game dev stuff?

[pulsar iris]

This is the coolest bug I’ve ever seen

[hushed steeple]

It is....really cute to think about forest being in a cloud though

I want it on my desk

[queen locust]

Forest at least is in a cloud but what about the sea-level realms of Isle and Wasteland?

Not to mention Sanctuary

[stable zodiac]

It’s super easy to do. Place a table on the umbrella when the spirit appears and then zoom in. Your screen will zoom out into infinity and when zooming back in you’ll see the cloud and then Hidden Forest inside of it.

[stable zodiac]

Well judging from the image I think they are. You’d have to just zoom out really far like I did in Hidden Forest.

[queen locust]

Firstly I don't really know how to do that and secondly the horizon in both realms and Sanc suggests wide open oceans

Unless you're suggesting even the oceans are condensed on the clouds?

[stable zodiac]

Yeah, maybe some areas they are in a cloud some are just sitting there.

[pulsar iris]

When you rocket out of the planets orbit, you can see sanctuary is within an ocean

The base of the game is set in an ocean, you can see it when you’re in oobs

[pseudo heart]

Yeah..

[queen locust]

I'll leave it to you guys who have better experiences in OOB then- I'm not fit for OOB-ing XD

[stable zodiac]

Now that I think about it you can just rocket out of a map to get a zoom out of the realm.

[queen locust]

and I generally do not want to rocket out of a map so again- I'll leave that to you guys

[pulsar iris]

Rocket ship 🚀: the only way to travel

[stable zodiac]

Wait does anyone have a pic of what Eden looks like when you rocket from social space in Wasteland?

[teal orbit]

hi folks

[pseudo heart]

Also going to share: absolute disappointment

Howdee

[teal orbit]

hi icecream mountain

[pseudo heart]

Oh gosh forgot to remove spoiler hhhhh

[icy spruce]

hallo

lmao

[pseudo heart]

Hemlo henlo

[teal orbit]

wut do we have here...

[pseudo heart]

Cardboard cutout eden 😔

[icy spruce]

yes

:D

[teal orbit]

o...kay...

[rapid juniper]

I also have that

[stable zodiac]

I brought that up because from that view it looks a giant cloud that connects Valley, Wasteland, Vault, and Eden.

[teal orbit]

any lore topics?

valley isnt on a cloud?

[rapid juniper]

Uhm

[teal orbit]

i think

[winter haven]

Well we can also interpret the drawing as that, yes all the realms were in the clouds at a time, but some of them or some parts of them fell off the clouds ? Maybe after the corruption of the King ?

[rapid juniper]

Valley is ona a cloud

[pseudo heart]

Ah the realms

[stable zodiac]

You’d have to look around at that spot because that view alone isn’t good enough to see that.

[pseudo heart]

Are in a spiral formation

Also valley

Lemme grab my lay out

[teal orbit]

valley is a mountain... i think...

[stable zodiac]

It is, if you go oob or do the Valley race you’ll see that.

[rapid juniper]

Yes everything is in a cloud except isle

[pseudo heart]

I think valley has a lower ground level

Valley used to be connected to GW

[rapid juniper]

Hm

[teal orbit]

thank you

[pseudo heart]
