also i’m reading what a plant is specifically to see if we’d be considered plants or just photosynthetic animals but like
man idk whether or not we have a rigid cell wall 😭
It also makes sense because the stars falling to the clouds is like an invasive species being introduced, what if the dark isn’t bad and we’re the ones destroying the environment?
wait a minute
wait a minute i’ve -
i’ve done a project
on an invasive moth species
omg
You’re brilliant
😭 not brilliant it was for my bio class man
Invasive moth species made of starlight that is destroying the natural environment of the darkness
but they are all the leaves of the trees.. and the trees had to use energy to grow those leaves back so over time they couldn’t grow any more back and just started dying jdbdjdndk
I don't know if y'all have watched the movie Avatar (2009), but a quote from the movie really made me think about the whole Eden Elder incarnation thing. Something along the lines of "All energy from the forest is borrowed, and we have to give it back someday". It made me think that the winged light, the sky kids, everything and anything made of light basically, is just being recycled from the Eden Elder
Cuz in Eden we sacrifice our winged light for the Fallen, and when we are reborn, the winged lights reappear in their old locations
Everything feels like one big circle if you know what I mean
ooh maybe: skykids are kinda like humans in the way that we have entered a society and removed all things that would be dangerous to us... but in the process harmed the ecosystem
krill might naturally be living in the wasteland as scavengers... but giant spirits came in and fought them off in the battlefield instead 👄
Lollllllll
I absolutely love this theory
Interesting 
big centipede man was just vibing man
if the whole point of the game is to return the lights of the fallen to their bodies and become reborn when that task is done...
how come all return to their old spots??? were the fallen sent back to their original positions or are these new spirits?? are we cursed like sisyphus to forever collect the spirits of the fallen and return them... only to have them be lost again?
To expand on this you see like, in the beginning of the game, we are born in Isle you could say, as a reincarnation of the Eden Elder, we have "borrowed" light from the Eden Elder who is no longer around to be saved, and we go through our journey borrowing more and more light as we find it. In Eden, we sacrifice it all and that it when we return our borrowed light, and we are reborn again and the cycle repeats itself
🧐 intewesting
also i like to imagine collecting wl to fly as the spirits of the light flying with you
like in spirit they fly alongside you and lift you up among the clouds
you can’t see them but they are there with u 🥺🥺
THAT IS SO SWEET UWU
i agree with the cycle things!! though i’m wondering how it works???
are the new lights that appear new spirits who we must return or is our progress reversed every time we make it
do we lose all the progress we had once we lose all lights in eden?? is the only way to complete them at peace to make it through eden? or are there just so many lost that we must spend this much time returning their spirits to them because there are just so many
Imma go grab some lucky charms hol up 
o ok!!!
hm...
i’m wondering if the starlight thing is applied
there are millions of stars in the sky and maybe we are tasked with returning each one??? and yet we could never possibly get all of them... but together we could make more progress than alone
Yeahhhhh
In Orbit, the statues you return your light to say thank you before they all disappear back into the stars
starlight kids starlight kids 😌
The clip is working fine for me!
Oh thank you 
Welp guys I've lored myself out today haha see y'all later

Can’t help but feel like that was directly directed at certain individuals.
It’s a general statement to everyone who talks here
Yes it's a general statement I'm talking to everyone
A little theory I made up is that when you are reborn you have no memory of your old life until regain all the stars.
Every star you get a new memory comes
So all the friends and spirits saved as well?
Yeah it's just a theory
Imagine your friend walk up to you fresh out of eden and they’re a shadow 😭
Oof
i am not sure if this is really a “lore” based topic...but it’s definitely “fun”!
if you like sky archeological adventures there are the remnant magical stone clocks around sky...
left over from “world events “ that predate seasons...
these stone clocks indicate a magical or mysterious “happening “ ...like the rainbow in forest ...the fairy circle in prairie...and the giant eggs in forest...
any ideas or discussion on how these may be a part of “lore”?
Theory: all krill are good and of the light. 
sure
that could be the devices our ancestors used for their own activity eg. forest ppl were miners so they used those clocks to indicate when to start/stop working.
also i had been thinking, maybe the rotating disk in citadel could also be a massive clock. if it isnt just for the statue
So the krill are actually the true creatures of sky and mega bird sent white creatures like mantas who came to corrupt the natural state of the krills existence
The dark dragons do not like the fact that they have been run out of their own land
And the humans who lived side by side with the ancestors helped to hunt and kill the dark dragons to extinction. So there are no more dark dragons in existence.
yknow thats actually an interesting take on those guys 
Why thank you I’m not even finished
I uh- scrolled up, and I would like to apologize for feeding into the unwelcoming behavior of the chat
It wasn't in my intention to make newcomers feel unwelcomed by directing them to certain documents, but if that was what happened then I take full responsibility and apologize for my behavior
Art should be welcomed to be experienced and interpreted differently by everyone- and if my actions have in any way impeded on that, then I'm truly, deeply sorry
The logic of these Krill and crab are questionable
If I hated light, I'll avoid it. But these guys ram at any creature of light at sight.
So don't tell me they're actually fiercly attracted to the light but their hard bodies end up bonking at us-
Jkjk
And again, this brings me back to the fact Krill produce a blue light.
Skids go blue when they lose light.
The krill's eyes go red when they encounter light creatures. Red is a warm colour.
Then they end up doing a mad dash towards said light creatures the same way I'd aggressively approach candles while doing a candle run
hzbhxhxbzw the boulder one literally was the sisyphus example i gave lmao
O o f
My bad 
Lemme just
so the Shadow?
?
Shadow is also dark creature
I think bricky should add
in the canon doc
I have asked Jenova Chen and he said That's Essence of darkness
Still gets me curious why their eyes glow other than a gameplay design to make players aware

Hiiiii
May I intrude? 
Lol I found a lot of paintings on the Forgotten Ark and I couldn't help but think it looks like a timeline
Is it Enchantment time- hell yeah XD
aw man you're gonna love the look of Ark once the quests are done-
Anyway, what did you make of it?
Someone made a full compilation of the arc murales right? Are they pinned by any chance?
Well I noticed the swirlies look like Megabird from the screen shot in the Vault doc
The first photo I mean
The second looks like forest cuz there are lines like trees and they have umbrellas
Also I think the lightseeker ultimate gift had those hats!
Ooooooooo
Lightseekers is spot-on- they're also the only spirits we know of that have umbrellas
I also noticed that the symbols in the third photo are most likely colors
The symbol for green light is on the mural
It's like, photo three, they find the colors
Photo 4, they release the colors
Something like fireworks
Photo 5 they want to bring their discoveries (the colors) to the king, maybe idk
What do you think was the purpose for the fireworks
And they are rejected
In photo 6
Almost like the king had no interest in their light
Too dug in deep into his own corruption to accept any form of enlightenment
So you’re saying in photo 6 the king rejects the light?
Idk lol
Well while you were going through your analysis, I thought they messed the place up with the fireworks haha, but that didn’t make sense anymore after you kept explaining
we actually know how they crashed, it was a storm 
Storm?
Cause it looked like they packed stuff up and we’re moving approved goods then we’re capsized
Yeah
Also I noticed that the elements are captured in balls
Maybe the storm was darkness rejecting the light not necessarily the king
in the teaser/cutscene for enchantment, the line was something like « they went searching for prosperity »
however i’ll have to find the video
That'll help a lot
here
Then released. Maybe the balls kept them in a certain area, but after the boat was capsized and everything broke lose, we have to go to the original locations to recollect them
Yeah that would explain why the colors are scattered everywhere
frick that’s the wrong video, hold on
OK imma watch it brb
OH!
But there's no captions
yeah, i swear i’ve seen a copy with the captions
i was around for enchantment but i don’t remember what it said word for word
brb
Like who turned the boat on?
Im back
Well... ive got a lot
Lolllll feel free to spill
Ok forst, abt the ark crashing
Yeah
*first
The nodding lady drew all the pictures correct?
What who's that
The last ts
the text from the cutscene, i thought it mentioned a storm but it doesnt, it just shows the storm:
A group of Spirits started their voyage towards prosperity.
Take the boat and set sail. Follow their path, a new land awaits...
The murals depict Both thr krill AND the storm...
It would have not made sense for a gov funded expensive fleet to crash cuz of one stirm, or one krill (they were planning to go to GW after all, they must have installed precautionary measures)
Which can only mean a combo of the 2 disasters created an unforseen even that got past the ark's defenses and caused it to crash...
she's called "approving muralist" iirc and her memory is her painting the murals
Srry for all the typos
Oooooo
Aaand my theory is gone with the chats...
Yeah cuz the krill is on the mural too
Oh great someone finally notices my theory
But it kinda looks like the krill got electrocuted too?
Probably yes
Considering that they actively live in eden, I think they’re okay haha
The transition one minute it's there
Next minute its feet are sticking out of the ground
It WAS in the storm with the ark... so they were electrocuted ig, but im not sure the electrocution damaged them...
Unless that's lighting and boat tips
the krill in the mural is likely the krill around the entrance
The light was rejected and the darkness was spared
Just noticed that there are two large grounded boats in enchantment, but only one is drawn
Oh Pyre idk if u scrolled up but did u read my theory too? 
Well I noticed the swirlies look like Megabird from the screen shot in the Vault DOC - The first photo I mean - The second looks like forest cuz there are lines like trees and they have umbrellas - I also noticed that the symbols in the third photo are most likely colors - The symbol for green light is on the mural - It's like, photo three, they find the colors - Photo 4, they release the colors - Something like fireworks - Photo 5 they want to bring their discoveries (the colors) to the king, maybe idk - And they are rejected - In photo 6 - Almost like the king had no interest in their light - Too dug in deep into his own corruption to accept any form of enlightenment
(this is all in reference to the photos I posted)
But now I think theres a lot of things I'd change
Ok pic one.
Those are lightseekers and they are catching the light in each realms
Pic 2.
Still doing that, but in forest
Perhaps they think megan bestowed them with the lights... so tgey squeezed in a megan pic?
Either that, or they are drawing the night sky
Yeah
Pic 3.
They take the lights to the scholars in vault, and they find out why the vault gad commissioned them - they were working on a secret project, and they already had a prototype ready... the light of illusion
Pic 4. Tgey gotta go make more lights so they go get the essences of fire, air, and stuff to put inside the lights
And they do
But aren't the symbols inside the circles for colors?
Yes
The colors each represent an element
And in pic 4, they are colkecting the el3ments and putting them ind
Side the lights
ah yes the element of purple
Pic 5. They set sail
Pic 6. A storm starts,sinking the ships
Hmmm
Seems pretty straightforward
When I first saw these I was hoping they would give a little more insight into why the Eden Elder died but turns out it's just a record of a specific incident 🙃
Yea unfortunately:/ they don’t dive into the specifics of that..: yet.. meanwhile how do you think it happened?
Well personally I think the Eden Elder died because he discovered darkness, endulged himself in it, led the Elders to follow, and now that he's not around to be saved we are tasked with righting his wrong and bringing light and prosperity back to the Elders and to the world of Sky ✨✨
🤔🤔
So in this take, you believe that the Forgotten Ark project was an effort headed by the Eden Elder to try and restore the land he'd ruined?
That’s a good theory, it’s highly possible for that to happen, the storm got too wild and caused the boat to capsize... the next question then is, was there always a storm, or did the eden elder create the storm
actually that's part of what I wanted to ask- is the storm in this take the storm that you pass through to get to Wasteland, or the storm in Eden?
Or was it another storm entirely?
Why do you say that?
The cyan light cleans the sky
But somehow when we first entered enchantment there was no storm
aight gotta attend class now- have fun theorizing fellas
Byeeee
Wow that would actually make sense
Yeah that's what I was saying
It would be interesting to try to place this situation in both scenarios and see which one makes the most sense
no one's in the meeting yet hhhhhhh
mmkay to try and visualize both scenarios right
I figured it was Eden bc they are going up
I want to see what you do with it being the storm in Eden tho- it helps that there's krill there
can we wonder that the giant spell makes you 6 ft
The Eden Elder is always portrayed as being up in his kingdom above everyone else
the max Hight in this game for a skid if w/out giant spell is 4'0 ft
So when they go up, it also makes sense that the ark ended up in Wasteland because the other colors are scattered across the realms anyway so it's not that unexpected for the ark to end up somewhere else
Wait so they were in eden and ended up in wasteland
Like it feels like they went up to try to show the king the light, the good, and the kings cup was already full, he didn't want anything to do with them so he caused the storm to prevent them from coming up
Yup I get it no w
The colors break out of their shells upon impact, scattering them across the realms
aw heck we don't have class- awesome-
Man lucky u I have an exam
Heck- good luck then Rizel
✨✨Good luck sparkles✨✨
I think I see how that could have happened from Eden
Does that also mean that here, everyone died slowly?
Also if we think a out it geographically it makes sense that it could end up in Wasteland since Eden is so far above the rest
Wdym
Because whenever we reference the storm in Eden, normally I see the theory say that the storm killed the populace there
If the exploding diamond didn't kill them, the storm will
That's what I asked earlier ye- I wondered if the storm you referenced was the storm we know of in Eden
How do we know anyone else lived in Eden though?
We don't really have any way of knowing but that would be an interesting overlap
It's a giant place with dams and residential architecture the likes of what we see in Valley
I'd be surprised if people didn't live there
Understandable- it's sus that there aren't any dark plants there either
Dude there aren't?
The reasoning for that is usually the Ancestors evacuated, or they were all obliterated to the point that there's nothing left
But if the Eye is such a source of darkness then why aren't there darkness plants????
Oh ye there aren't any dark plants in Eden
Weird
However from a game development point of view it makes sense that there aren't any darkness plants or collectible spirits in Eden since anything interactive would distract the player from the game objective, and most likely be hard to get due to all the wind
I actually don't think Eden is a source of darkness more so that it's a beacon of destruction
It's not impossible that the two aren't synonymous in this case
Could u elaborate on that beacon of destruction part?
oh- I mostly call it that because of all the rocks and pop-tart rocks that constantly come out of it

I don't think it was meant to be a beacon of destruction though
Pop tart rocks lol
Well obviously not
The Eye of Eden was meant to be ruled by the pure king of light, in the paradise above the clouds. Hence the name Eden, which typically is supposed to have a positive connotation. In the Bible the Garden of Eden was meant to be paradise, but Adam and Eve, the rulers over the garden you could say, fell to corruption
The Eye of Eden was supposed to be paradise, the place of purity and untouched holiness
However I'm curious now of the background of that shiny diamond at the end of Eden
That thing- has been likened to so many things- but normally we consider it an out-of-control power diamond
Like the ones we see in Forest and such
Makes sense but then why isn't it blue like the rest?
I for one think that it's an upgraded version of a power diamond
The main colors in the game are yellows and blues right? So the yellow is good and the blue is death and destruction, red is barely present in the game so why is the diamond red?
I suppose 
Think what else red is associated with in this game and it gets a little confusing
Cosmetics notwithstanding
Red enchantment orb summons murals, and red krill lights mean you maybe need to get out of its sight
Red is a warm color, but it isn't a friendly one
We are the reincarnation of the Eden Elder so we wear red. The Eye of Eden was the dwelling place of the Eden Elder, so it's Red. The power diamond could've belonged to the Elder, so it's Red? Idk
wh- when do we ever wear red unless it's by choice
I did- and then I said that they don't count-
Oh 🤣
That's what notwithstanding is
Oh lol
Does that mean postman is sus
this is a dumb lore related question but where do the children come from? and they’re children right? does that mean theres adults? or are they just immortal (I’m with the immortal theory)?
We are arsonic rascals
The children of light? Or the skids?
the playable characters
I'd say we are reincarnations of the Eden Elder or we are stars, it's a little sketchy
Skids then- well we don't actually have a definitive answer as to where exactly we came from- one of the common answers is that we were sent down by a deity
Megabird, specifically
they could come from another universe, I mean the starting area is called “home” and it’s an empty island. Maybe the children are stranded there?
Purposely stranded, or just made with sole purpose to help the spirits
Who knows
Altho the theory of us as alien sounds cool
If being sent down to clean up another civilization's mess constitutes as stranded then yes
No one would expect there will be cute aliens liek us uwu

technically we're textbook aliens and so are the Elders lmao
Just- falling from somewhere
where do we even keep our candles, why do they instantly light up when we take them out?!?
The red candle is our life force or equivalent to ehart for human.
Apparently in our chests accroding to some interpretations
You know that diamond in our chests
You see there is a light dot on our chest? It dissapear when we put out the red candle
anyways just a question but if the prophets came first then shouldn't they be elders
oh didn’t know that- but I still don’t know if the children shove them in their pockets of not
I don't think it was up to the Prophets to call themselves Elders-
the candle to hold the loght
Imo spirit and elders are different... equivalent to human with greek gods
Because Elders are another species entirely and were always just that- Elders
They shove it into their body

like mc or somethin?
What is mc
minecraft
makes sense
All we carry around are candles anyway
Also connecting the theory that skids are made of waxes...
mainly why we have hands
Imagine if skids actually grow layer of new wax skin and when its enough they will shed it off and craft it into candle

LOL

we give them their cremated remains is what you're trying to say
I like to call it as hardened dead skin


You can clearly see the similarities between the spirits and the Elders tho, both are blue mostly
Probably just cuz they're dead tho
also have you noticed that depending on the pants your skin changes?
In truth we can't know much about what color they were when they were alive because now they're blue to signify their death, the spirits I mean
Its more like that since both of them are stars
Ancestors already confirmed to be stars
The Elders are probably blue to signify their inherent corruption
Yeah and the sky kids could actually be stars too
Yes
To some extent anyway
did you know Teth used to not be that mean in the beta
This is lead to my headcanon that skids are reincarnated sky people

Y e s
Cuz in this scene in Orbit, the saved souls of the fallen sky kids go up to the stars
They still kinda keep Teth's fox persona btw
....not fox fursuit i mean-
Notice how forest elder's hair tied in many knots
Where did @queen locust go 
I like to think it represent their former design as 'fox-like personality'
Literally my favorite person to theorize with lol
Lamo
I'm flattered lmao
Yayyyy ur back
Had to finish up classwork-
Welcome bacc viri 
It's OK haha
We're back to "where did the sky kids come from" haha
Wait didn’t skids come from mega bird
I wanna think they did but there's also the possibility that they didn't
so on the off-chance that Megabird doesn't actually exist what do
What's the deal with Megabird anyway, like how much to we know about it
We know they're a deity in concepts, and that they show up in the credits
Do we even have any confirmation that Megabird is in the Lore to begin with?
megabird is the natural control???
How much of concepts carried over into the final product is unknown
Like I believe she’s the one who talked to us in the intro
Oh Megabird was only in concepts?
Possibly? We're not entirely sure- it's highly likely that she carried over in the games
A deity separate from the king correct?
what if our pov is the megabird
Lolllll
What if we are the reincarnation of the Megabird rather than the Eden Elder
Hm
Hi Back, I'm Chesca
Hmm, could be! But instead as whole incarnation of Megan, we are just part of her
Mm like
i'm reading the candidates for a skid being the reincarnation of either god or a wannabe god and there's smthn weirdly poetic about that lmao
My headcanon is that the original CoL, that become the king/prince/eden elder was suppose to be 'whole incarnation' of megan. Or as her representative on sky world
we probably the conscience because we make the decisions ||I'm christan so i belive in this stuff||
But when that CoL fell as well, Megan decided to learn from the mistake and made lots of CoLs intead
i almost read that as us being reincarnations of a reincarnation

reincarnationception
No problem lol that's just basic brain mechanics
my headcanon is that the trials in prophecy iare based of real places that are almost as dangerous than eden
My religion strongly believe in the concept or reincarnation btw, so yeha i tend to know about this kind of topic 
does that mean we can find the soot clouds in real life?

Floshie you are a valuable resource then 
NO I MEANT THEY ARE ACTUAL PLACES IN SKY
how do you hug g a s
Well if it's called the cave of prophecy then whatever happens in there must be prophecy
Flying babies

We can still make it work tho-
dangerous gas that may or may not give you tuberculosis
Or dried up your life force
[RATECATED]
same thing lmao
The prophecy that has been fulfilled btw
This is becoming unhealthy lol I've been in here all day talking about lore
if you understand what i meant i'm sorry
i have been talking about lore for 3 months straight you will be suprised that i managed to stay alive at this point
bruh I've been in here enough times to be the thing I don't wanna-
Then what we would need to do is find out which prophecies we can observe and investigate the final outcome from
The prophecy likely telling us about how the kingdom was built
Like have any of the prophecies present in the cave been fulfilled in a place we can actually research them
Who responsible for that and how it can happen
Given that the Prophecy showcases a Kingdom that decidedly hasn't been destroyed they've likely all been fulfilled
My intrepetations : CoL goes to the trials to claim the elements. They succeded and give those elements to the elders to help them maintaining their land. The CoL got crowned as their ultimate leader on eden mountain
Aside from maybe the krill, we don't see any traces of a downfall
Well obviously but I mean it's not enough to hear the person say they're going to eat an apple tomorrow, you gotta watch them eat the apple the next day and see that the apple is bitten into after the fact
the CoL is the prince right?
Possibly ye
Here is the interesting part : the light that shoot from the eden mountain peak, and then dissapeared in next mural and being replaced by a diamond planted in the mountain right under the castle
I still cant determine if the light beam shoot upon or from the eden mountain
✨ DIAMOND ENERGEY
✨
@queen locust U know?
Hmm what if it goes like this? The light beam is the gate of ascension. When the CoL got crowned they also claimed that gate of acension as well, turning them not only as ultimate leader for Sky people but also the ultimate guide for the light creatures and the spirit to the Light
You see, when we ascend, light creatures only moving when we move too. If we purposely get stuck on a building, they stopped mid track
I'd say smthn except it's hard to juggle between filipino debate lectures and actively applying them here on the fly lmao
Wut 🤣
The fact that we are called as Children of The Light... we seems to be the successor of the original Child of Light
Imma step out for a bit and listen to my lectures brb
Not as the Sky People leader, but more as their savior to guide them to the light
Good luck!
Absolutely
Yes yes yes yes
Lollllll
Well personally my headcanon, I think the Eden Elder died because he discovered darkness, endulged himself in it, led the Elders to follow, and now that he's not around to be saved, we are his reincarnation and we are tasked with righting his wrong and bringing light and prosperity back to the Elders and to the world of Sky ✨✨
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Arsonic janitor
Hoi
Is it legal for me to drag stuff from the Beta channels in here if it may not be all that related to the beta?
There's this really cool vid of the chonk whale in there, and the angle is amazing but idk if it's actually from the Beta per say as in its not a new thing
It's more like, a good camera angle
I'll ask the mods I guess 🙃
Ok
Wait how do I ask them
nothing about the beta is allowed outside of beta channels, not even behind spoiler tags 
Are you a mod? Maybe I could show you specifically what I want to send maybe you could make an exception if it's not related to the beta, u make the final call
Oh my starry elders!
im not a mod
you can still dm me though.
Oh oki but then technically I'm not allowed to send it to you
i gave you consent. you can :D
Oh ok haha thnx
i think hidden forest should be higher, if we look closely, its sandwiched between the clouds, not entirely below them
the fluffy stuff in the caverns is fog...
i think
there are no clouds in a cavern
and the stuff in the entrance to the hidden forest too
thats fog too
plus, we can be sure its on ground lvl cuz of its altitude in relation to valley and sanc
understand now?
oh god
IN COMING TEXT WALL
this is not a drill
i repeat, this is not a drill
a) it functions the exact same as other clouds, there is fog in-game (see wasteland) and it functions nothing like clouds. if it were fog, we'd be able to go through it, but we cant.
b) forest is almost on-level with the rest of prairie, specifically the village/butterfly fields. we ascend briefly from the village, where the prairie temple/forest social space is, then we descend again to forest. they're on the same level, or at least close
im not talking abt real fog... light fog... like the light clouds...
but i do think i get b)
i might have to revise the map...
im still not convinced on a) tho
but that doesnt rlly matter now
let me draw up a little diagram of what im thinking regarding the elevation
But don't we go a lot downwards from the praire (forest social space actually) to reach the forest?
And then from forest ww go uowards to reach valley
And then into the cloud storm, and fall into the wasteland which is at sea level
Also, i think hidden Forest Isn't between clouds that's just the first little place, all of the rest of it is at ground level. It's not necessary that there'll be big flat layers of clouds, they can be small amd dynamicm
There isn't 1 single huge layer of cloud for the whole world
there is a general "reference" for the ground cloud layer though
this is mostly how i interpreted it (it’s a simple diagram that’s why it looks janky)
Yeah, this is great. Imo, it's still very confusing how vault and eden connect, like, according to me, vault is directly under the eden castle. But then we see the entrance of eden is from a weird room in vault. We dont know where that room is.:")
imo vault is inside the eden mountain
Yeah, i mean the same, which puts it under the castle that sits at the peak
yeet
and the hallway we walk into is probably the transition between the wasteland temple and being underground
Wait, what if the building we go around in the eden flight is vault?
then what do we come out of when we finish meditating ? the building at the beginning of eden ?
Hmmm, ah, I'm not sure lol, it's so confusing
Maybe there is two vaul5? Idk-
i think that ascension takes place in the palace, after all it is the "eden temple" like we see in the murals in isle, it'd only make sense to visit all the temples rather than isle, prairie, forest, valley, wasteland, vault, and vault 2: electric boogaloo
Hmmm, maybe when we go into vault from wasteland, it's all a dream, and we're actually sitting in that room all the time, when we pray , the reality comes out. But i still don't know what is that room, and not sure about this whole thing
That room has the elevator, so it has to be Vault....
then where's the eden palace ?
Eden palace should be levitating tho
I believe eden temple and the castle is the same
i dont think it really makes sense for ascension to be in vault - aside from the shrines there's little proof to make it make sense
Eden has two completely different places, a huge industry, and then, a beautiful castle
I think Eden built on the ascension mountain.
Yeah, but then where does vault fit
Some say under eden castle. I say, completely separate like in the intro. When the elders teleport you, you are no longer in vault.
Hmm wait
Or maybe its the portal that warps you.
Wb this then
what
It's cropped from the complete mural chart
Thats why some say vaults under eden
Man this is terribly confusing
Yep
But also it shows vault separate from eden in intro. So. Either the intro is wrong and vault is under eden or thats not eden
intro could also be stylized
2nd eden 
after all, in the intro the temples arent even in proper order iirc
Or the tiny tiny space between vault and eden is being stylized as right under when its really farrr away
I think that's just to depict the realms separately, but I'm not disagreeing, it's an interesting thought
they're all over the place
Hmm like what if vault and eden located on the same mountain but separated as well
Idk, i just can't imagine of Vault as skyscraper alone in the world, like it just fits under eden.EEEE
Ok so there are mainly two ideas
One is , the vualt peak is at the eden social space,we can even see it
And second is that the vault is under the eden castle
Well theres is a big structure right behind GW temple, where it leads directly into Vault.
I guess it.....kinda does....look like Eden mountain
Imo, there's a very long hallway that connects gw temple and vault
Yeah
Hmm wait lemme finish my cr to show you guys soemthing
I don’t understand why Vault would be depicted as a tower if its inside a mountain completely. But more recent depictions do seem to point at vault stuff being in a Edeny mountain
helo! whats the topic
Maybe because of land slide
How vault got stuffed inside eden mountain
And where exactly vault locatef
i'm- Bricky you're a lifesaver
i couldn't articulate that last night-
i was too confused-
Huh guys
What if eden diamond was sturctured the same like summit
But it was located on somewhere under the castle
huh
Instead of vault
Like, vault summit might be the miniature of eden diamond summit
Idk that can work
you know those shrines at Vault summit- I was wondering if they represented Vault or Eden
Because at that point Vault was a projection- or at least just really not... Real
I mean when you go to eden you can see the thrones when flying to orbit
Hmmm if vault is indeed only projection... then doe sthat mean it showing us our ascension?
Uh like
So maybe its what it used to look lkke?
Idk I still think we ascended from a ground floor to a higher floor but I can't help but wonder if there was an actual structure like that within Vault
And why is it depicted as a tower.
And since it's established that the different levels were representative of different realms I kept wondering
because that was the basis of us ascending to a second vault last night iirc
TWO VAULT?!?
which still doesn't make sense to me a full 14 hours later
like- okay there's a real vault and a dreamy vault
How many vaults do you need
4
A third one apparently
What if. What if what if. They retconned Vault being its own building.
And we will never know
Maybe someday we get a nice, current game, not just a rough concept, juicy map of Sky kingdom to settle all our hearts.
wonder if someone'll try to recreate Sky in Minecraft for that
o
it reaches deep into the ground, but it also brushes the clouds... some parts of it almost touch orbit
quick question- where the hell would Eden be if what we're circling around in Ascension is Vault
Eden isn't just the broken tips of castle directly above that part of Vault that almost touches Orbit
unless you mean to tell us that Eden is built around Vault
i'm just genuinely confused
because to my understanding this building behind me is where Vault ends and Eden begins
Vault extending beyond this point is also beyond my comprehension because we're greeted by the gate to Eden after this
does this help you, virdi?
and I don't have to agree with everything that either of you say
oh yeah
sure
no one is forcing u
also, think of eden as the outer wall of vault
vault is the inside of eden
get it?
at least thats wut we think
currently
Yes I get that- and I also get that Eden is bigger than what we see in that mountain
When we exit Vault, we're now on the part of the mountain that's close to the summit- that's how I've always perceived it
Yeah same
And yes I know that Vault could be bigger than what we see
And Eden is even higher up
yea
It just doesn't make sense to me that Vault could reach that high, nestled in so deep in another realm
A realm that- mind you- was meant to function as the capital
eden is the thing u have been climbing the whole time...
the thing thats even higher up is the palace and orbit
yep since in isle u can see the lighting in Eden
i have another map for u


I dont even know what the topic was
Mantas are cool and they're made out of light
Iike to imagine how all of the light creatures relate to the realm
i'll... have to find more ways to properly articulate why I find the 'Vault reaches all the way up to Ascension' thing confusing
They use mantas to diamonds
The topic here is always
✨ L O R E ✨
Wait it does??
i'm confused and disagree
But i thought that vault-
:v
Was vault-
I also don't get the 3 Vault theory
I was a little confused how the exit to the eye was to be below vault.
Thank you

oooooh a potentially heretical theory?

WHY
what
WHY MUST YOU DO THAT
wh-
heresy isn't a thing-
What o.o.
p l e a se-

ok whats the 3 vault theory
Yeah i was gonna ask that
what's heresy? Idk my english
its basically something against orthodox religion
oh
Isn't it like blasphemy?
ok so back to this "3 vaults theory"
yes
A thing that shouldn't exist by Pyre's discretion in this chat
Idk what it is
ok...
Oh
tell us
Idk what it is so ye-
I had no idea there was more than 1 vaults theory
ikr?
E

ok i got my holy texts ready
what
I need to excuse myself and cool down- Pyre I swear to Megan, the canon isn't a bible
Ye
no theory should be considered heresy
its a joke
i do'n't care if you find it fun, it doesn't feel fun at all
It's kinda offensive joke
it is?
Mhm
It's okay, just don't do it next time
it was kinda a warhammer thing..
oh ok
i understand u guys arent familiar with that kinda stuff
so yea..
no more heresy jokes
ok
Okay uh-
but seriously lets hear the theory
Yesyes
anyways, since that uh situation is cleared up- L O R E
what
the 2 vaults theory...
Ye
pretty sure I've heard it in lore chat
time for scrolling up
I only really know about how the elders worked with light and eachother. Or theorize that is :v
Like, about Vault having a copy
lets go ppl gogogo
But I might've misread it
is the scrapped timeline in pins I can't find it and could I have a big version of it, others are still blurry even if I wait for it to load?
Oh is that based off of there being two meeting rooms, one after vault and one in orbit
?
ig
couldnt find it.. T.T
Sadness
oh hey guys i wanna be sure abt smth... why isnt beta allowed here, even with spoiler tags?
Beta must be kept strictly in beta channels only
but WHY.
Spoilers
but... spoiler tags
No.
as u can see, my motive isnt to bring beta talk here, but rather to find out WHY
Ik
That, and beta doesn't really have any new lore uncovered as fsr as I'm concerned, and a lot of people from not beta come here. It's mostly just warning about eden and office
So bringing up beta stuff is just an outlet to spoil new cosmetics and season things
Yes
then shouldnt the scrapped timelines and stuff be banned too?
its basically the same as office as far as lore authenticity is concerned
Beta content isn't allowed here because it's not officially part of the game. Plus, we want this to be one of the few places on social media Sky players can come and trust that they'll be able to avoid beta spoilers if they don't want to see them.
:D ^
So
Huh...
O
O
Haha the scrapped timelibe is not officialy part of the game so thats banned too?
Am i taking this the wrong way?
Beta is not officially part of the game...yet
Ig
Pyre cares about beta, friend
Scrapped timeline as in like light awaits?
As a lore buff, a great joy is to find the lore first hand
eh
Then give me something to talk about-
Ok now is the time for our much needed military talk
O
Huh?
Uh, sacrifice dashes pls
I think wastelands animal isn't a dark creature, but rather a whale.
thank you
What's going on 
Idk
What is this wasteland animal u talk abt, brick
A topical discussion....right? 
Perfect
ig
I think that because wasteland was once probably a great golden city, with a grand aura much like valley
I read that as tropical hhhhh
But this is sky chat right 
Yes go on uvu, this is interesting
So, something about that would attract a whale? 
ye, I also agree that GW was once a great city
Mhm
Excuse me, who controls the canon doc?
There is no canon doc
E
E
wha-
Is my life a lie-
I mean the canon lore doc
Someone keeps a google document to take notes on different theories and guesses that are shared, but there's not a document of canon lore that's floating around in the community
I also wonder if the bones in graveyard were whale bones, as we see in sanctuary that whales can be masssivveeee, and we know they have bones because of the fish call spirit
Golden wasteland has no houses. I think it was built to protect vault and eden
More like... london... see... valley mines the darkstones, but doesnt refine it as far as we know
Thats forest and wasteland's job...
So my guess is, GW went from being a forest dwelling realm to suddenly a smoggy place like london... rather than valley...
And by london, i mean the old one where there was a lotta fires and tons of smog

Oml i was thinking cannon doc as in like the cannon in office
My life is a lie.
mine too
What
YES THANK YOU
One of the devs said that they aren't exactly whales as the skull was inspired by turtle
Oh
Interesting 
Artistic liberties, haha—I mean, have you ever seen a whale that was by all other appearances a giant fish? 
WHURTLE
W h u r t l e
Yea .
@ Pyre the document pinned in this chat is not a list of canon lore.
I don't think wasteland was dark until the downfall of eden
But they were still a strong military built fortitude
If that's the right word
Guys do you think Shadow has a connection with Krill?
Wait what???!!! Omg my world is falling apart
What do you mean???
Bricky, are they right?
Is the canon doc actually no different from the theory vault?
Oh god oh god
Great niw im freaking out
oh no
Why....aaaah
Hehehe
Hmmmm... well I'd assume so. I think krills are just manifestations of darkness, as are shadows, just different. Shadow worms are fast and continuous, while krills search and pounce
Hold up. It wasn't clear to me which document you were referring to, because there are a bunch. I was referring to Butter's—were you talking about Hage Kingsama's? If so, that's where the miscommunication lies

Bricky said that he didn’t controlled the doc
Ohhhhhhhh
Who is bricky. There's a fellow brick? :o
Yay
YAY
Oop
Oh
The canon doc live ON!!!!
the King
*lives
I was about to get krilled
My guess is they were designed by prophets for trials. As they can be destroyed after completing the trial
so what’s Jenova’s mean?
Yeah, the trials feel like they're in some weird dream space, not entirely physically real
Imo, the "canon" really shouldn't be taken seriously, and we should theorize whatever weird stuff we want bc it's fun 
Sure
As a strong believer of trials are a stimulation, I believe that worms are just imagination or smthng
the krills come from Shadow?
Prob not?
I suspect the krills are a corrupted creature
Nagati, are mods normal players in sky? Do they know/have more than the average sky player? Not saying you guys are different 
Yes yes
Just a normal player :D
Jenova Chen: Essence of darkness
The older and crustier of us might have been around long enough to read more articles and catch more livestreams is all. But no secret info 
essence of darkness sounds like a perfume name 
Oop

Smells like Golden Wasteland 😌
Petrol smells
Krills would be mega lookin light creatures o.o
Made from finest quality krill oil 
I think part of the reason that wasteland fell so hard is cause it cane with out warning from within the vault tower, or behind it.
Like Eden?
Yeah. An explosion stemming from the overbearing light from the King, if they exist
Typing skills 💯
I always considered Vault to be the more forbidden place. A vault is supposed to be safe, protected storage, closed to outsiders, keeping away people who could damage something
Yeah. I think wasteland was more like a port or a city
King did existed but we don't know what happened to them. I really want to see king in eden shooting lightning from his eyes 
Wasn’t the Vault used to be a city?
I do wonder however, what is it rhat the lantern lookin things hold. Is it like a book, or do they store light of various kinds?
Maybe memories and spirits?
Night City
I think vault was just a vault, a fantastical one at that, but a vault nonetheless
Vault was supposed to store knowledge which future generations could use to learn about their ancestors.
Perhaps to learn about/from their mistakes, based on that intro text when you open the game for the first time
Yes but all we see are constellations 
Tgc could've added murals to show downfall of each kingdom or what happened before the fall 
I once heard someone say that it's a yin yang situation
Henlo lore discussion peeps, what you talking about 
Also, if you think about it. The Golden Wasteland might have been the only entrance to the ground in the planet of sky.. if it was deeper.
dunno
Scroll up a bit and you can get a good idea 

I like the murals. My favorite being the ones in the docks in the beginning of Forest
oh KRILL
Vault could've been a good movie theater ngl 
That paired with the Ayin cutscene shows that the jars of butterflies were manifestions of just oure light, which they transferred to forest. If that made sense. It's late so my communicating skills are going down
That as in the murals under the forest docks*
hm...
I always wondered.
Did the spirits come from the Vault of Knowledge?..
If the vault was destroyed then..
would the items spirits gave us
or themselves
would cease to exist.
Completely.
Because, I'm thinking that the spirits are more of... projections
On the right side they seem to be entering teh forest and left side leaving
So forest could be a diamond factory
hm
Nn yes cause she did repair it...
can i ask something-
Nn?
.
what do you think spirit's original color was before they died?..
I was thinking like us. Like golems
My guess is much like skids
They wear masks all the same, and some even wear capes
I wonder why we close our eyes when we take our mask off
Probably cause if our eyes were open they'd look weird 
Imagine skid having anime eyes
👀

I was actually thinking about that earlier, and notice the Elders are faded blueish too
Fun fact: Sky kids are forever unlit, we are only pure light when we hug our lit selves.
in eden
also
i have another theory i'd like to share-
Oooooo
