Think about it, since we are inside the megabird, or we shape the megabird.
Let's think ourselves as blood cells.
We, our job is to make the megabird live.
HOWEVER
(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
The Megabird is already dead.
It's HEADLESS
Unless megabird is a blob of light 


Did i just krilled the chat?
Give me my record :pPopcorn:
ha
oh
Hello new Lore Moff!
Read this short document to get started! Once you’ve read this, check out pins for more information.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/18B1-SKG3toG0oH0VhOWC5o-cG9u0STAN92QvmbhTDto/edit
gosh it freezes again
If golems can be made out of light, sure...
But u sure abt skids being light creatures? U reference concepts a lot and the concepts say we r neutral...
But think abt it... if we are INSIDE the megabird, how do we know what it looks like aside from that concept?
We DO have that pic from the cutscene remember?
I was talking abt that
No need to read any docs to share your theories. We should stop sharing lore moth docs
i mean
we can just reccomen lore moff to read the doc if they want to
only reccomend tho
no matter if they gonna read it or not
I recommend they do read it bc they need to understand that there rlly is no concrete written story that everyone expects there is and the lore moff doc explains a lot about what actually happens with the lore and the tiny details most players want 
i never understood that one.... if they dont read our "introduction to lore" doc, how will they ever know what we are talking abt?
even without the fanon names, there are dozens of concepts that dont show up in the game, like the prince and the king...
tbh, i was looking for more docs to read when i started and i was so confused... im thankful someone showed me the lore moff doc to this day
Recommending to read it is ok. But telling new people that they have to read it to join isn't good. Seraph explained everything thing 
sure sure
I agree with you docs are interesting 
But we can make a welcoming environment by answering the questions instead of sending them to docs. After that we can recommend them 
sure sure
So what are we discussing today 
the sky shop poems
im thinking we can squeeze out a few canonically backed theories outta those
im not saying all theories should adhere to canon
i dont think so
i wanna write smth that gets pinned here
so imma compile them now lol
Don’t weep, dear Elder, we heed your heart,
Tomorrow is a new day.
The scattered light, you broke in vain,
No longer falls apart.
“Dear Child, we waited your return,
Our true savior of the sky.”
Let love and compassion deeply in,
With you, we too will heal.
Hear the Mantas call to us,
Drizzle mutes our way.
Rest with us under shelter,
Stay warm from cold, we lay.
Follow the light, sweet Manta.
For we will fly with you.
Side by side, up on migration.
To home once more.
Chibi, do you remember when we first met?
Chibi, the times we watched sundown?
Chibi, how I nursed you well?
Chibi, seeking me this lifetime?
Thank you, Chibi.
With you, I am not afraid.
A kiss to share in highest highs,
A kiss to bear in lowest lows.
You inspire me everyday.
You encourage me every way.
You are my superstar, my best performance,
My stardust, my northern light.
Save all your whispers,
Your soothing words.
Descend to friends, soar up to birds,
Through even a long day, they wait alone,
Your crabs, they huddle, as you come home.
The show must go on!
Won’t wait a season longer.
The troupe moves to rhythm.
Your ship steers onwards.
Before then, you slowly ponder...
What a crowd, what an act, what a stage,
What a thought it would be to meet you here again!
some of these are pretty useless
but who knows...
dang
Links to both Skyshop poem docs
pin pin pin
oh i bet we can make a "things we can now confirm as canon based on the poems" doc
what say you, @queen locust
huh what- I'm actually not even sure these are that canon
they.... arent???
much less do I want to have to try and dissect these
well... if i dissect and dm them to u, can u make the doc?
Bruh if you write those on a google doc of your own that'd be easier
why
wh- just write the dissection on a blank google doc- that is literally less work than sending them to me and having me make the doc
there is so much thats in those poems that could refine canon A LOT
i want the doc to be pretty
bruh
and I write everything in Arial and Calibri
its ok
relatable
Tell you what- a microsoft word document works just as well
okokok i`ll do it on my own then...
mk

So, lore
tom zhao's concept art (fanon btw) has some ideas about the division of working class
we see it reflected on the world design, especially in valley and wasteland. my theory is... maybe there's a way to examine the clothes that the ancestor spirits wear, to tell what kind of position they have in the kingdom
so that way when we identify spirits, we can see which realm they actually came from and what sorta life background they had. instead of linking them exclusively to the region they're in :v
good work
We see several other valley spirits in memories of village spirits. So my guess is that they existed in same timeline
there we go
all the pieces of canon clearly stated by the poems
surprisingly few tho...
dissappointed..
Interesting... send me a link and lets get to work lol
It isn't opening 
When i get back to my laptop i will fix it and ping u ok?
Ok yashl...
It should work...
@true grove

i... need to take more ancestor screenshots before i can examine them and make a doc
Try going to sky's fandom
I bet they have screenshots of all the spirits
Soooo? What dya think, yashl?
U r my beta tester rn
Elder is responsible for flight
And together again, we fly.
I think this refers to past beta versions in which elders used to give us wings
But those poems are abt live, and they are for sky merch that only work on the live version of the game...
Plus, those poems were made pretty recently
So they are prob not based on beta
At least not exclusively
Maybe elders giving us wings was the original concept. Stars were pretty late addition to sky.
They could've just put in poem as it isn't necessary to use pins :pPopcorn:

Poems are descriptions of the live version of the game by the devs...
So i think its canon..
Lore discussion here I come again 😭😂😂😂 what’s the chat about today?
today is a new day for canon

guys there’s a video introducing Jenova Chen about the ideas of eden
However it is fully in Chinese
@wind bone “please keep the inside jokes and fanon names to a minimum. To be clear, please stop referring to Sky elders with their old concept Hebrew names and referring to the megabird as "Megan". These things often mentioned here are either fan-based or scrapped long ago during development”
Does this include the word Krill or Skid / Sky Kid? Because I think these are Fan-based names as well.
whats this? translation?
a video introducing Jenova Chen about the ideas of eden
oh
Sorry for no translation 
thatskyshop Poem doc?
ye
i.. cant read it
I suggest that the doc could be added more languages versions
this is an english only server tho...
if u cant read english u should be in another community iirc
well, I mix English/Chinese/Japanese together
u dont see me writing stuff in korean do you?
Elder of The Forest Pin
"Don’t weep, dear Elder, we heed your heart, Tomorrow is a new day.
The scattered light, you broke in vain,
No longer falls apart,
“Dear Child, we waited your return,
Our true savior of the sky.
Let love and compassion deeply in,
With you, we too will heal."
I thought it’s “The scattered light you broke in vain no longer falls apart” or don’t I remember it right?
yea
oz just deleted it
ig we will see why in a moment
meanwhile, ppl, plz read this thru and check for any errors plz
if u wanna that is
She, The Forest Elder (who in concept art had the name Teth ) is implied to have broken the light intentionally “in vain”
“The scattered light, you broke in vain”
She tried to break the light... why?
Perhaps the people, the fallen stars (who were also called ancestors in concept art) might have been the ones to abuse the diamonds (also called power diamonds in concept art) ?
u dont remember the cutscene?
she was trying to make diamonds
the sledge hammer
and also that
yes...
To do something in vain is to do it intentionally... but to no avail or with no positive result
to form the diamond, maybe
teth use it to made diamonds
So this poem (from that game company’s pin shop) implies that the forest elder (who’s name was to be Teth in concept art) did this act of breaking the diamond on purpose
....there is a reason why their temple have manta juicer-
no they didnt break the diamond
they break the light to made diamond
and the light here might reffering to light creatures
Ahhh then nothings changed and it’s exactly the same as when we original theorized she used mantas for manta. Juice . Okay .
i mena you can theorize that teth might use more bigger light source-
like idk people maybe idk lol
I thought the “scattered” and “broke” in the poem (located in the game company pin shop) was about the shattered and broken diamond (which was called a power diamond in concept art)
you see my pfp? its a picture of reborn cycle. notice that light creatures are sourced from a bigger light deity...
this lead to speculation that light creatures are scattered light of Megabird
I think the poem is talking about how teth broke the light in vain, making it scattered. But when we enter the cutscene we glue the stuff together with our light so it no longer falls apart
Scattered light of The megabird (who is named in concept art depicted as the bird shape of light in space/orbit) hmmmm I see
good intrepetation btw 
Yes I can see how the forest elder (named Teth in concept art) was break the “light” in the poem and not the diamond (also called power diamonds in concept art)
while i myself intrepeted the scattered light here as light creatures, its nice to see others repretetations hehe
When you.. juice light creatures, how does their light scatter? Im trying to grasp the idea theyre like glass..
tbh i see megabird like megakaryocyte... a big cell in bone marrow that producing platelets that will help on wound recovery.
basically, platelets are reproduced from megakaryocyte by fragmentation. These fragments will enter blood stream and called as platelets.
This how i see the connection of megabird and light creatures : megabirds from some concept arts are depicted as a massive light creature that will release smaller light creatures. it can be saif that these smaller light creatures are fragments of megabird, or scattered light from the Light
perhaps she intended to create diamonds using the light she acquired from the light creatures, in vain, since she did not succeed (the cutscene depicted her being unable to forge the diamond before we arrive)
my take is they cannot forge the diamond since they didnt have any light left 
can you imagine squishing a lemon or orange? maybe its like that
hmm, how would "break" translate in that context tho... I'm searching for something else since she (logically) wouldn't break the diamond
but breaking the light creatures, to reach for their light
perhaps
I'm not sure ofc, just some theories owo
breaking, squishing, juicing, extracting
feel free to enrich/debunk this theory owowo
imagine light creature as a wet sponge. imagine squishing that wet sponge until there is no water left

exactly- that's why i think it's not very probable the "light" refers to the creatures.
if that's the case, then we also aid her in creating diamonds, the same diamonds she attempted to create using the light of the creatures 
tbh same, i love sky mantas ;-; i cant help but to feel sad whenever i imagine manta squisher-
we need the diamond to open their temple door anyway-
yeah... that makes me think that the elders' intentions might not be so pure... but anyway, theories theories theories (most of them untrue)
so how is "break" used here? what else, that is considered light, could she have broken, and in vain?
first of all, let's analyse this: "the scattered light, you broke in vain, no longer falls apart"
I perceive the scattered light as light creatures, uncontrolled, free in the "wild"
which also reminds me that we shouldn't compare our own world to sky - the "juicing" or "extracting" might also not have been something cruel
"The scattered light, you broke in vain,
No longer falls apart" teth either broke the light, or the scattered light. for the former- it could refer to megabird. but how does converting lightjuice into diamonds scatter the light? the latter- it could refer to the light creatures. but why do they no longer fall apart?
and why "in vain"?
the "in vain" I think refers to her broken diamond in the cutscene
she attempted to create diamonds using the light, but failed
the diamond could've also been destroyed by something else tho owo
but that's the most accurate explanation I can provide for the phrase "in vain"
hmm this statement of yours make thinking
if the scattered light here indeed reffering to the diamond... and Teth broke it in vain (which is intentional)... do you think it because they realize the danger that diamond can cause? it is heavily hinted that Teth is the one who create the diamond in the first place... and when they find out the danger they try to destroy it but it is too late...
so that means that the light became scattered after the breaking, and it was not scattered before
nice theory owo
I really like this
the forest temple door implied taht to create a diamond need a balanced amount of darkness and light
I interpreted as scattered in the first place, leading to the conclusion that it originated from light creatures; but now that you say this, I think your theory is better owo
and the "in vain" could refer to the fact that even though teth broke it, it could not avert the crisis
if the scattered light here reffering to light creatures... Teth might intentionally 'break' these light creatures in order to make diamonds... but the diamond producing is, while very useful it also bring a terrible consecuences... they might didnt realize the danger at first, too blinded by greed, but when the danger become too big to ignore they are trying to prevent it, but it is already too late...
oof I need to go, will come back later
owo
here is the thing, light creatures that died because of unnatural cause will leave bone or carcass... manta does have bones (can be seen from vault), but if the production of diamonds requiring the 'juicing' or 'squishing' the mantas...
:0 hi
they might didnt leave intact bones. they might leave sludges
hi math!
im assuming the light creature carcasses are the one who formed the sludges in GW
They have the same exact markings as elders
If the light is the diamond and teth realizes the danger they pose then why are we skids trying to restore it? (Putting the flame into a diamond happened twice- once in forest, once in vault)
The dieamond that were restored is used to open the door... this is like the least thing teth do for the skid : they can open the door for the skid to proceed
they look like belonging symbols
what if there are more than one megbird like creatures 
how does aqua johnny have all those super cool pics?
from internet 
not the diamond... teth broke the candle, and back in the day, teth broke the mantas and birds...
see...
let me spell it out for u:
The scattered light, you broke in vain > thats the light she smashes with here sledge hammer, be it candle, manta, or bird
No longer falls apart. y'know how at the start of teth's cutscene, teth has all those small diamond shards and teth is sad and frustrated?
thats the failed version... the ones that fell apart... get it now?
oh.
i was asking like a specific site...
ofc it was the internet
some are from Tom Zhao’s Site and others are found in game or in google

well, hmmm I don’t think highly of the poem
but the canon derived from them will prove useful
but for it to be recognizable as canon, it should not have any logical flaws
so thats why im asking
another link
cuz the old one was buried far beneath chat
guys is some german people here? i am done with my first part with my german fanfiction about the eden eldar. and would like if someone from the lore could read it and help me if i did sth wrong 😅
i’m lazy and i didn’t have completed the doc
if yeah just dm me ^^
I got pranked
General is a mess so I came here
This is a mess too, but slow
Mhm
They require a candle. Does this mean that spirits also carry candles? Have we ever seen one doing so?
And again, they seem rather not practical to use
For example the workshop in praire village. Why would spirit working there need a second person to acces it. Its not that important, is it
And yeah, did the spirits carry candles
I don't think they carry candles or seen one doing
I think it's an in game thing the diamonds could've been there but the way to open might be different 
It could be just trying to make people cooperative but to lore it can be security. And they could be using a object of kind to open the doors without candles specifically
Also as we see in forest elder cutscene it might be that way to tell us that diamonds were made to store light
Well maybe it's the light, not the candles.
The Elders each had a way to use light right?
Maybe
That would be soo cool if they could just touch it and boom
I'd say heat
Thats kinda ood since only red candles work, right?
I'f i's light and the diamond need slot just to function it's something that seems like a bad power function
Yes,
Isle used it to guide birds
Prairie used it to make butterflies
Forest for diamond
Valley as a sport
Wasteland to open vault
Vault to make diamond
YAY did u guys see that?
someone accidentally spelled elder as ELDAR!!!!!
hahaha i thought i would not live to see this moment!!!
thats an eldar ^
btw
Lmao
Gj potato
Well that is the only candle we have...

Not really
yeah.. ig thats tru
I mean
We can pull out white candles, or the fireplace
I think im getting into gameplay side
Those work too 
the white candle is a candle in your inventory... its not smth u have with u all the time and it burns out.... unlike the red candle
They burn darkness plants faster
The white candle I believe is the small light burning during the starting of the game keeping you alive
The fireplace is fire, not a candle and white candles are like currency... If you put a fireplace on a diamond does it open? I've never tried it...
not.. really... cuz when the game starts, u dont have a white candle.. just the red one...
()_o
no it doesnt nor does it burn darkness plants
Thats weird too
i disagree, cos you can see that during putting your red candle away you slap a light into your chest
I've seen someone try the feast table but dunno if it worked
yeah
wait what?
It does have candles on it...
I tried in vault
It didnt
Gain light +1
I've seen someone on youtube do that to open 2 player door
Hmmmmm, cool.
WHAT NOW?
yeah... i agree... especially since you dont have any white candles at the start of the game.... try going thru the tutorial again and u will see lol
Yeah i saw the feast table at Prairie door but it was already open so idk if it worked
It's been too long I have played sky to remember I have a red candle in my chest
well, idk abt diamonds, but it cant burn darkness plants so doesnt count as a real candle
Yah, did anyone ever talk about the candle in chest?
i did..
like, they place the fire exactly under the diamond so the fire will light up the diamond
That is so weird
And the fact it only shuts down when we burn out
Flame connected to our soul in form of a candle
That's kinda why I believe it's the one keeping us alive when you have no winged lights
yeah that flame is YOUR flame
the one that goes out when u r in the rain for too long
i think the candle is just to hold the flame, not an actual part of us
That does make sense
Or does it...
I saw some original concept art and in that skids had fire instead of a candle
Hmm.
I was thinking about the capes... and the spirits wearing them.
We know that our capes and we are connected, but did spirits know about this?
And the fact that they could actually fly?
Were there any winged light back then?
Their capes Have no stars do they couldnt Have fly
But what the hell are these things
oh yes sure sure but the flame its holding is THE flame
awwww wuts that
I believe their capes are to look cool when they see the other generations of skid having it though I could be massively wrong
yeah thats what i meant
Early desgins of skids
those early designs are so pretty
The devs seem to want the much more Mysterious way
Hahahaa yeah I know. I am also writing a story about my pnp eldar character xD I never thought Someone here would know them too!
To make our brains burn ofc
Oh
Wrong reply
Damn
Hahaha it’s ok
Sorry sorry

yeeeesssss
blood moths for the blood god krill
sculls vets for the scull throne eden
- 🌽
Haahahahahahah you like them too I quess? XD
im not much of a chaos fan...
i like the eldar the best...
then maybe the tau?
the imperium ranks third
Hmmm. I know more about the eldar as about the dark eldar. Have to say I am reading the eldar books before the dark eldar books xD
Hmmmm I don’t really like the Imperium a lot. (Sheeesh don’t burn me because of my heresie)
nope not the dark eldar too spiky... i like the gentle streamlined flow of asuryani weapons
im not too deep inot wh40k tho...
more of a star wars fan myself
Yeeh know what you mean but for one day I had to read more about them for a fake background story. (Yk mission in pnp) well there I saw that they are pretty interesting)
Yeah same. I am pretty new
huh...
i... think we need to get back on topic before the mods krill us
Hahahahah would it be okay if I dm you? I would like to write more with someone who also like them
sure
Thanks ^^
Hmmm. You just can offer him to a small group if you want
aaaand there is no action here
Give a topic
When you say sky kid it’s obvious what you are talking about, vs names from concept art that most people will not have seen or known about. Krill is different since it’s been a nickname for the dark dragons (and at one point an official name) by the community and developers since before the launch of the game
No topic?
hello
more than one megabird lol
umm light creature migration
As you can see there are birds and mantas coming from all directions, it suggests that light creatures live everywhere, and that there might be more kingdoms/realms to explore
add what?
About this
Uhm
Some of the poem may be referring to past elder concepts I mean
Especially Forest's
I mentioned this before
The poem would fit beta Forest Elder more
has anyone made an encyclopedia of sky creatures
id like to make a book of the manta variants and jellies and stuff
Ah,, I've made a chart for manta variants with Chrome spice, would you like to see??
yes please

Yes they do hh

I'll probably add more stuff when I get the time to.. incl elder manta.. Gotta update boat chart too aaaa
I'd love to hear them in the mornin tho


i think mantas taste like pasta
pasta?...
with butter
no sauce
now i want manta shaped ravioli or something
are spirit mantas and jelly mushrooms made of the same material
Manta pasta with a side of crab?
TGC start making manta ravioli and jelly mushroom marshmallows
what is wrong with you ppl, mushroom marshmallows, eating our friendly mantas, what

Okay but if the ancestors and elders didn’t eat mantas or jellyfish.. what did they eat? Did they eat crabs and only crabs? Because if that’s the case, that would imply they either hunted them to near extinction or they farmed them
WELL
In the ark there’s a farm
So they might’ve been omnivores
Unless the crops were used for making fabric or something
Why not both?

There's a website for Sky concept arts that include some light creatures!You have to scroll a bit, but would you like the link?
yes please 
i wanna make a collage/scrapbook about the creatures but from a skykids perspective
https://www.tomzhao.com/sky1
Here you go!
yoooo theres so many concepts that didnt get into the game that im gonna steal for fanart
I like looking through these pics for fun!Theres some stuff that wasn't added in game that seem cool!
these are beautiful 
YOOOOOOOOOO LOOK AT THIS
modern sky
sorry, im getting off topic lol
I’d love to play a game that takes place in that flooded city
the vibe is so different
ok one last thing
has anyone discussed this yet
HUMANS?
so...
THEY ARE ON EARTH?
i found something linking whales to krill
looks like the whale dies and it light decides to go adios an there are some bones left. In the absence of light darkstone grows on it
concept arts conflict so much sometimes
where did your message go?
wait maybe humans have become extinct (on earth at least) so that the kingdom of sky could thrive
yes global warming
thats why its flooded
I always thought of this game as more of a metaphor for life and death but people here always talk about the sky world as if it’s an actual place
But I think of it as more of a concept
life benefitting from the death of others maybe

I think Sky has like a deeper meaning as in life in endless and so are the possibilities and Sky has become like an actual home to others
like the kingdom of sky benefitted from the extinction of humans
It appears that the elders and stuff were originally neutral
not good or bad
They did some bad stuff but weren’t bad guys
if the concept arts are true, then why don't we see ourselves in the human workd after being reborn?

and the realms are just what our souls see
Remember that concepts are just concepts! This doesn’t mean that what they are showing aren’t in game or scrapped per say, it could just be in a different format now
we’re just throwing around ideas 
or maybe we don't experience anything in the human world. everything except our personalities get erased when we go to the world of sky.
Yeah that’s fine, just try not to get into the mindset of things being 100% right or wrong
I don’t mean you specifically 😅
i haven't
archiving our human experiences n stuff
oh sorry lol
note how it says "empty souls"
very well could be
do you think isle of dawn counts as the kingdom of sky?
hmmmmm
because it only says sky when we are between isle and prairie
the human world is where our bodies are but our hearts are in the spirit world 
Morning guys! What’s the topic 👀
watching lore moffs discover the concept arts is cute
link between human world and sky world
me and pikachuncoming up with wack theories about what sky is based on concept art
maybe humans are the same as skykids
did you just call us cute
im not a moff :(
humans have evolved to adapt to their post-apocolypse situation
relative to me, you and crumch are moths uwu
ow
I’m shaking and crying how could you say this
i've been here since about June 2020, you're babies, its adorable 
now continue, im intrigued with what you come up with
ive been here since august 2019 
I-
but I only joined the discord recently
i only found out about this server recently
im speaking in terms of the server, yeah
i've been here since around march 2020
anyways back to lore uwu
yes
why did i think march 2020 was 3 months ago 🧍
We’re using our fresh, smooth brains to come up with the most ridiculous theories
Ayeee We started around the same time!
I think megabird is a selfish cosmic entity which benefits from absorbing skykids
So who are the skykids and how does it connect to the human world
we’re the embodiments of human souls
it sucks the soul out of the ascended skykids and yeets them back onto earth
Megan really just went and regurgitated a child back onto earth but kept their soul
only thing i wonder, is if the sky and human worlds were connected, dont you reckon the sky world would show signs of human intervention ? it looks rather alien imo
ded
the old concepts, yes
in the isle of dawn concept arts there were what seemed like some modern buildings
although as time went on, it was solidified by the devs that the sky and human worlds are separate
WHAT
crumch i was just describing that city
i still beleive that the sky kingdom is in the same universe as Earth (note how i said the same universe but not planet or solar system)
although there is s o m e possibility that the human and sky worlds will be revealed to be connected, specifically based on this interaction reika had with someone in the chat:
q: can skykids travel outside the world of sky?
a: douzen thats gonna be a spoiler so i cant say
bricky joining this is like an Olympic wrestler joining some kids play fighting 
VERY INTERESTING
if the universe is infinite then that means that the sky world could be out there
what about the laws of physics?
AHEM I think skykids could be the spirits of humans. Not actual people, but the little glimmers that make each person different and keep us going.
ok you made me picture a skykid in a control room in a human's brain
why did you say no to the laws of physics?
If u think about it
because physics are overrated
I mean tho it is possible
Isle elder is kind of like Charon and the river Styx
It would be more like a simulation than a natural kingdom
I wouldn’t worry about physics too much since like every video game doesn’t have 1:1 real world physics
Unless it’s the point of the game
but we are literally F L Y I N G
Charon 
i'm scared
we also don’t have mouths and can make breathing sounds
sky kids are just built different
we’re quirky
don't drag me on a boat and take me across a river to the underworld
Instead of a river to the underworld it’s across the clouds to a “paradise”
what if we breath out of our eye holes?
but then the paradise is actually Eden and then a portal to go back and do it all again
pain
thank y’all for humoring my crazy theories lol
Wait if sky kids breathe through their eyes what happens when they aren’t wearing a mask
Since they keep their eyes closed
uh
this is all terrifying
they just blow air out in all directions
Wow kind of like how frogs drink through their skin....
you just show up in the pity room if you spend too much time maskless
or their head explodes or they have porous skin
skykids do have nose-like protrusions if you look at their model from the side, i think they have noses but it'd be too graphics-intensive to model the nostrils and details
Yeah but who wants logic here
I personally like that skykids don’t have too many details, they’d fall into the uncanny valley if we had all the weird details like nostrils
this is lore chat
realistic skykids would be horrifying
i wouldnt be opposed to the idea of skykids not really having the ability to breath and stuff, but rather imitating the spirits for the sake of it because its cute
What- what are yall taking about 
Art of sky kids with fingers still freaks me out even tho I know logically they do have fingers
I think the "nose" shape is just to make sky kids look better to each other
UM ARE WE DEAD ALREADY THEN???
That’s what I headcanon
Well the game is centered around death and rebirth
Coming in here after playing too much Spiritfarer was probably a bad idea
Did you know in pre launch beta instead of waking up in home you’d wake up on the isle shores!
Even after finishing eden you’d end up in isle
And that made much more sense
So are we just Stella then? ||Wandering around till we feel like dying again?||
I put spoilers just in case some of you didn’t finish
similar, giccix
imo i like to imagine skykids dont need to eat, breathe, sleep, etc., but they do it to mimic the spirits (although this is mostly for fanfic sdfng)
home should be part of isle
because skykids are "born" on isle of dawn. But spawning at home would be a lot easier
Why do we have nose if we don't breathe 
A headcanon I have is that skykids don’t really have feelings but they learn them from spirits
So we- the dead children, are tasked with visiting a dead world, to save long dead spirits ? So we can all die together ?? In eden??
and maybe take the things they learn back to the human world
thats like saying why do we have eyes if skykids dont even need to open them to walk
take a water shot every time we say "die" "dead" or "death"
... what if when the game is shut down there’s one final cutscene
I found it heres me and my friend in isle after eden
And we all wake up, with hands and fingers and human faces, to our parents
NO THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN
You can tell it’s old bc cookie pendant 
OH MY GOD
Everything good must end right? Death is in the game as we know it
The game will die one day ..
That would be a great ending

humanity will annihilate itself
Crumch you know abt sky originally being a cloud sequel right?
incoming existential crisis
WAIT WHAT
Yeah jenova talked about it in an edge article
I want to fully restore eden at the end. End could be like we all gathered enough light to restore eden 
we die twice
And we look outside at a star lit sky... and see a single manta singing on its way to orbit
in sky, you only live trillions of times
Fanfic loading...
....[sighs] eden crown 

So sky is basically the culmination of everything tgc has ever created
The love child of the company, the final masterpiece
except flow
the early prototypes do look a bit like cloud dont they
flow is the weird redheaded cousin
flow is irrelevant
I should do art of a human looking out to see a city with one manta flying around
its just a nice fancy arcade game
I feel like orbit has a lot of flow references, I feel like if we look hard enough we’ll find the worm haha
i think the reason flow is so divorced from the rest of the "TGC Canon" if you will, is because its just so fundementally different than the others in the roster
like
Cloud - Help clean the planet
Flower - Bring life back to a dying ecosystem
Journey and Sky - bring back light and life to a destroyed kingdom while making friends
Flow - devour your enemies
it just kinda sticks out, yanno ?
Did u know while you’re in the light (the part where you get reborn) you can tap the glowy bits floating and they do a little explosion away from the tap
like, in orbit ?
I think of eden as storm > orbit > the light
Because that’s the name of the constellation
ah The Big Orb
thats a thing? :O
there aren't many aquatic creatures in sky
Besides the birds and butterflies there are only aquatic creatures
well, all of the creatures that are supposed to be aquatic decided to float around
but they don't live in water
and crickets 
...what if we’re all in a coma
WHAT CRICKET
The crickets in home
you can hear them
oh...
You can’t see them, but I doubt they’re underwater
Where are the crickets hiding
👀
then we’d see cricket flavored bubbles
What if we were the crickets all along...
do you think some of the things in sky aren't actually there
for example the crickets
A skykid chirping cricket noises is sort of endearing to me now haha
Maybe we hear it cause we’re all in a coma and hear crickets outside while we sleep
yes
Wait, it’s all crickets? Always has been.
What if we’re in a coma and Eden is us dying in our sleep
Collective imaginings by kids
evrything is not real :(
this is giving me the same vibes as the shelter music video
I think the world of sky is real, but us existing in it isn’t
after dying, we are stuck in a land made of literal dreams
I knew a dude that was in a coma for a little over a week and he saw all sorts of weird stuff while he was gone, so I wouldn’t be shocked if that was what skykids are
Like we are real kids with experiences n what not, our consciousness are transferred to another world that actually DID exist, and we’re using borrowed formed to interact with each other and the world
INTERESTING
The mega bird needs us by putting us into comas
Our bodies are not real
We are not real
my friend somehow didn't see anything in his coma
we can’t feel pain, or anything. We don’t even show the 7 signs of life
Way to give skykids an existential crisis--
That’s why I think we’re all trapped in some collective dream
maybe my friend was not close to the other side enough
What if we’re all in some kind of matrix type thing and we’re all hooked up to one shared dream
i was thinking
and sky is just a substitute for a real world so our brains don’t rot
I mean we can pop in and out of existence with a simple tap of the home button
No one will know were we’ve gone
Mega bird is the one that is connecting us
Oh I read back and saw that Isle Elder might also be referenced as Charon? Would that mean that the skykids' journey is just them reliving their past, albeit in a symbolic way? I'm pulling on ends here lol
Spiritfarer vibes
🤔
Spirit fear more like it
I talked about this yesterday a little but it wasn’t centered around that
So basically my thoughts were that we as sky children are a fragmented version of the eden elder (and is why we don’t see them in game in person at all)
And us going through the game is us regaining our memories of our past life and fixing things
i'm tired i'm not gonna type unless if I see aomething really interesting
I always imagined that when skykids basically die, their light goes to build the Eden Elder back up, but of course is torn away for rebirth once more
Idk what myth I referenced for that, I used this concept for my Eden Elder fanfiction
its only 7 pm for me
Brb
Please send it To me I love fanfics

Soon 
I’m gonna log off now, I hope I contributed to this channel
thanks for talking about this, it was interesting
these were some cool theories
thank you for sharing your theories too
Same here, I'm going to go sneep now! This is actually my second time here and everyone's been so welcoming here rather than before 
#beta-discussion is where that belongs
Thank you for beating me to delete!!
Anyone up for some speculation on how the Season of Dreams affects the "life's journey" in the levels of Sky?
Apologies for the wall of text in advance, but here goes...
Of all the things in the Season of Dreams, there is one thing I keep coming back to, both ingame, and in thought, which is this new gate in the coliseum at the end of the valley races.
I love how we can make valley into a circuit in game, but what brings me back to it in thought is how it affects the linear "life's journey" throughout the realms in Sky.
Without dreams, after the races finish, we plunge into the wasteland.
However, with dreams there is an opportunity to revisit another of Sky's and lifes paths.
The name Dreams fits too, after one path in life ends, we can choose to dwell on how great that time was and pass into difficult times. But, with a dream, you can choose another path and though different, we can spend more time in the clouds, or citadel, it may be different, but it is more rewarding.
What is more, is that to follow your dreams is not simple or easy, you must have faced some adversity, represented by the wasteland spirit requirement in the constellation gate, and additionally you need to make our way up a long hill and through dark tunnels before you can get back to where you started, like when following your dreams in life.
Valley is the height of civilization for the ancestor spirits in Sky, but it is through the lowest levels of that civilization where some of the greatest opportunities and powerful dreams happen.
The more I think about the area, themes and season in general, the more I discover.
Thanks for reading this wild speculation, and keep Dreaming 💤💭
what's inside the other door 
oblivion
A wind wall I think
I've never been in there 
Sort of looks like a Journey Wanderer or something
Uh.... I saw the pinned comment and-
Well there goes 90% of the language i use here.
Entrance to the village of dreams,if that helps 
Maybe that door is reserved for a future season?
Like Season of Hope or something
Oh!!
I went through that door i think...
When you use one of the uh boat rides in the village it brings you to the coliseum
It leads to the village of dremas
No, we are referring to the other door
Yes,you can enter from the coliseum
Wich other door?...
On the other side
In the left?
Well, the Hermit valley has yet to be opened...
So maybe it leads there
I doubt there's... 2 villages...
Or maybe that's for the Rich?
In the left??
Ah.
I'm curious,does anyone have a guess about what these mean?
The temples
I can't remember..damn
There's boats to probably get into the temple
And jellyfish all over the place?
And also boats are general transports
@rigid ember This Door. Not the one going inside the Temple
Yeah, they're a thing in this game
Boats fly
Most likely to ship something,because they have something in there
Yep
Also,they go all alone?
Well
I think they have crews
My memory on the cutscene for the waving Bellmaker is off
We can tell that for the boat in Wasteland
Yeah...
Yes
To me that just tells me the wasteland boat might be carried by us
There are boats all over the realms tho
And
Boats must be a common transport
Do you guys remember the no no emote?
There's no other transportation system XD
From Isle?
Ok
It has that vase thing in the back
That appears in the drawings in the boats
Yep
I'm not sure why it has that there
Could be a sign that it needed to be transported
Maybe
Yeah
Question
I think the Prairie people shipped light in jars to the forest to be turned into diamonds
waitnO i mean the left one thats still closed so-
You mean butterflies
Wow,that's an interesting idea!
Can be pure fire
Well is most likely to be butterflies
For sure
Which means animal mistreatment is... Sadly a pert of the theorized lore.
They used creatures to create powrr source
hey good idea
i think they did the same to mantas as well
Yep mantas too
Manta juicer
But i don't exactly like the idea of forest being a factory area cus to me it doesn't explain anything in the rest of forest
You'd think the forest would have more factories and mines...
Yeah
So idk
But the crying emote does do mining
Yep
Light miner
.... And some caves and such might be mines too idk
Now that I think of it
Forest is a good area for resources

UHH
Take a pic
Can't plah sky rn
how does mama forest has so much power over a hammer and light
Elder
What
Mama forest and forest elder are the same
I just like calling it mama forest hehe 
No no I mean the power
Pfff
I see elders as the minor God's
Yep
Being send down by Megan- wait I mean megabird
welp
Makes sense?
It's so much easier to say Megannnnn
back to the topic 
Megabird the the Major God only one mind you is the one who creates
where was there more writing?
A irresponsible God at least
Sanctuary,Prarie,Forest,Isle,Cave of prophecies...
A lot of places
Is there any writing in Valley?
Writing like drawings

You can only see her at orbit
k
The end credits too
Eden no
I don't think there is in the village of dreams?
So eden and village of dreams nlt
Still a non appearance character still a very important one
I don't say about megabirb or whatever it was (srry if it comes out rude)
Just like these
I think theyre saying that theyre not talking about the megabird
Yes,I'm talking about drawings like the picture I sent before
:>
i rhink they are bringing the light creatures and maybe chopped down trees to be processed into refined darkstone
J u i c e d
Howdee
Where is that omg
Holy land
No no,, i meant where during ascension
Almost at the end
not opening....
i wanna see...
That's the light part of us,if I would say.
oh, also, there is a reason i came here today...
there is a theory i would like to share with you...
or rather... a new piece of canon
Ok..
I sent many useful images in this channel
you can search them and find sth interesting
Cheese
"Dear Children, no hope was lost,
We saw of your return to us."
and then
Children of light are of new generation
the first quote seems to say skids used to exist before the fall
but the second quote says that skids are new to the world...
which can only mean one thing.... skids are pieces of smth or someone that had a lot of power and influence...
influence enough to know the rhythm troupe (knowing ppl from outside the kingdom)
influence enough to make the elders wait for your return...
you know where im going with this...
Megabird mmm
L
Im really warming to the “everything is Prince” theory
"we saw of your return to us" kinda feels like they have saw us before
more like the skids are the prince
As something else..
please remove it as it’s datamined

Could have prove the generations of skid does quite exist
it’s against tgc’s code policy
but they CANT have cuz we r a new generation... which means they have met our OLD selves... what we used to be, aka imthinking... the prince
“Everything” is hyperbolic. I mean the sky kids, the wing lights, the white one that fell in isle, the one in eden, the ones on the CoP murals ect. Ect. Ect.
Also pyre u can't go around calling ur theories canon u know—
I miss the little dot in the middle.
He's like the excited guy
Hhh
yes yes i think so too
but the winged lights are imprints of the prince prob
Since old megabird still kinda in the game in the form of the flight gauge
nono it isnt my theory...
its 2 pieces of canon...
I-
haha
do i see my new pfp?
Hey
, please read the statement we’ve pinned yesterday! The purpose of the lore channel is to have fun and discuss everyone’s take on the story, not finding out what is or isn’t canon 
That used to be in everything
Will do! 
sure
isnt this from old beta?
It's more of concept art
oh.
Interesting he has a very.. long chin
The chin became his beard ig
Ah majic
✨
I feel a little better knowing old man Isle does not seem feeble at all after he gets some light.
Insert confusion
the moon in eden
Ohhh
png version...
its not a real moon prob
I didn’t even look for a moon in eden. Next time though

There’s a moon in wasteland!
not scientifically possible
so what’s this?
Moon in wasteland is really bright
yeah
i haven’t noticed that...
Light reflecting off the moon irl won't be as that bright so the sun must be very uh
ark
Maybe its a planet and has multiple moons?
The moon is visible in other parts of wasteland as well, just harder
I have some pics of me above the clouds, give me a moment
Aite
From the first area of wasteland
I've seen it at shipwreck
Fun fact, that moon used to be a crescent but they changed it to a full moon
