i think im confused on elders and ancestor spirits like
the stars that fell from the sky.. wss the elders? or all the spirits elders and ancestors
elders are the ones in the cutscenes
was*
and the ancestors are the rest
thatsss what ive been confused about
but the stars falling in the opening cutscene are the elders
everybody fell
yes
ahhh
but in the cutscene graphics
its the 6
those ones were the elders
i see
and later 7 when the eden elder joins them
eden elder being prince/king?
maybe
uh oh
but unlikely
cuz the prince didnt fall til later
after the stars made their home in the clouds
who received the stars when they fell??
but thats just a bit of theory mostly consisted of canon
who are the ppl praying to the stars
no one
where do u find canon?
the ancestors
ancestors are praying to the stars cuz they wanna go back?
in a way
thank you for the doc💕💕💕
they`re more like "oh cool our leaders are falling too i wonder if we have to pander to their will here too"
yknow?
ahh i see
hahaha get my id?
thats starting to make sense
finally
i was dying when i saw it lmao
hahaha
ima read thru this doc real quick brb
ok
Is the kong the king
Welp looks like pyre is ooffline
:(
ever since the icr cream cake lore theory last night ive seriously wanted to make ome for each realm.. or cupcakes
@teal orbit 👀
Ice cream cake?
ice cream cake of the sky gods
lol hello
Nono
There's LOTS OF LORE!
1.the elders are apparently evil.
2.there's 8 elders. So.... Is the glowing child the 8th!?
The elders are people who messed up and destroyed sky somehow.
But it's unclear how or who. Because it might not be all 8 elders
.... Wait what article did this come from?
Yeah!
how did i miss that
So there's 7 (counting the 2 Valley peeps)
the elder thing was quite obvious tho
I think that means that the 8th had to be the glowing child?
Or...They're in orbit??
idk
hmmmm maybe the shinyboi in orbit?
Yeah that's what I thinking too
that has to be it
that would mean.... i think we finally proved the eden shinyboi is the eden elder...
maybe
we might need more evidence
currently there are too many possibilities revolving around the king, prince eden elder, and the eden child for me to make a theory....
but dude thats interestingggggg
Yeah...
which means imma take a brak
O
link to the whole article
i ddnt even put that tg
I wonder what happened to the eden elder to make them into just.... A glowing child
quick discussion
is prince a separate entity from king or are they the same being?
^
sooo its open to interpretation... I think if the prince and king do exist.. they are the same person probably
is this even allowed here?
This article id about SKY Beta, no?
hmmm prob not?
no clue
It was about sky when it was called Sky: Light awaits, right?
i just found it
Cus that's the home area in Sky: Light awaits...
lemme go back and see
Okay
i've done it tons of times, and other ppl have too...
its just a gif of a nuclear test tho... no one`s rlly dying so ig its ok?
ohhhhhhhh
I guedd

Cuz uh
ok then that article is canonically irrelevant
... If it is that might.... Hm
Still though.... 8 elders is an interesting theory.
welp, not my field of expertise anymore sooooooooooo
And it does give us new opportunities....
my thoughts are that they are 2 different things
king got 'sploded to another planet
and prince is living it up on another land on this planet
that's my opinion tho
It said sky was to be released in 2017 right?
it said it was announced to be released in 2017
"anounced in 2017"
I misread that
Oke
I guess they just used an outdated photo?
But then again when did Sky: Light awaits become Sky: children of the light?
When the global ver released iirc
Which was... Uhhh
2019?
Uhhh
I know android release was 2020 and it was out for about a year before that
July
??
it could have been way older than the article was posted
I thought it was right before enchantment
like I joined near beginning of enchantment (late April)
I dunno
well anyways
Right, android was 7th of April
beta had a funky timeline if that's what your asking
Beta timeline is basically almost the sane
but faster
Well, prelaunch beta is quite similar
The only difference I can remember is that skykids' bodies are dead kids pushed to Isle of Dawn's shores and was given light by a bird
Nvm the elder cutscenes are also different
must be a avatar for megabird
The only cutscene that stayed relatively the same is Prairie man (background change) and Vault lady (no solo part, different murals than the finalized one)
if we are children of the light is megabird the light?
like sorta
I guess so?
she (megabird) is literally a bunch of stars
If you think that the bird-like thing at the end of the credits is Megabird, i guess you can say that
then what else can be megabird?
The whole of orbit?
the megabird sphere
The megaball of light
the ancestor spirits were always spirits?
I think they're humans before they're spirits
or sky people
Or something similar to humans, at least
Humans... That have evolved to get used to the high altitude and lack of oxygen up there?
the clouds do hang pretty low in some spots
and they also don't have a mouth or nose so do these skpeople have to breathe?
I'd like to think the lack of mouth and nose is just a stylistic choice
yeah that to
Probs because if they had noses they'd look weird
It would be... Pretty horrifying if you see a mouth and noseless person absorbing a crab
from what we're already used to seeing yeah
sometimes you just gotta
Y'all remember who i am right?
Spirits: consoom krab
👀
no
Eeee kinda? I remember seeing you in lore chat a couple of months ago
oh that's you keko?
as is par here
well stupid discussion I want to start
is there a sky multiverse?
skultiverse if you will
i get the feel of a skultiverse after eden and all the kids fly off into beams of light in different directions
Maybe the planet of Sky is outside of our supercluster
And Megabird is just Laniakea
Dem realm doors do be shaped like candles. "Wick" and all
sup thats been on my mind a lot that shape is EVERYWHERE in the realms
its literally in every deco in every realm
Well, this IS a society of candle-worshipping moths
Except for the home realm portal itself 
right^
You know just a funny thought, not really serious
But if each realm has an elder, are we technically elders of the home realm? 
Moths rule home realm
We have such a cute tiny little island 

No spirits cuz we collected them all

Speaking of moffs
LÄMP
At what point in the timeline did the rest/social spaces exist-
Between the realms
Same goes for the cloud tunnels to travel between them
I always thought the spirits made them for us somehow in the past but idk why

Prophecy? 
Seriously tho-
Isle and vault have no wardrobes

A h
Then again the vault being directly connected to the wasteland altar I believe was explained
Plot twist: The saved statues (considering their capes) were the original bridges and messengers between the realms. Their final mission was to do some stuff in eden and failed.
Then we moffs are like version 2.0 to save them and what remains of the fallen realms
Don’t forget that they also had flying boats! But I wonder if anyone kept mantas as pets/beasts of burden, or if they were viewed more as a means to an end (power diamonds).
Oh right I forgot about those 
I'm questioning this
Why would trees-
It's like they got no leaves either. Just cloud floofs
b r u h
When I tried flying to the top of the area, I teleported back to the area before the elevator
Ksnakkananama
so little tree saplings are just tiny lil clouds dabbed on them
Judging by how the floor is carved, I think that tree was used as a place to observe religious ceremonies. As for the trees, you can see it either as a game mechanic or that the trees legit don’t have leaves.
CONSPIRACY
o h h e c k
what would the cerimonial worshippers even worship other than The Light
But why would the floor merge so seamlessly into the tree as if it was a part of it-
Megabird
A h
I think the floor is wood and it’s carved into the tree
But w h y
WhY wOuLd iT dO thIssSs
To observe the ceremonies I guess
eh
Why not while flying-
wait we're forgetting oreo in that area? what if they were-
yanno-
worshipping oreo
One crystal tree in the Vault has leaves but the other ones don’t. 
I'm sorry if I sound like I'm not taking your opinion into account
Yep
I thought these "trees" were actually like chimneys for factories until I saw their roots
This whole server is for theorizing and asking questions so it’s fine.
the leaves look the same as the blue crystals in the stones lining the vault walls. possibly knowledge leaves? aka leaves that store knowledge
A h
hmm
i wonder what they are going to plan for vaults season now that i said knowledge memories
I think that, based on the shields we see in the Wasteland/Eden, that there were two factions of Sky citizens, and they may have fought one another, or maybe they fought together against a third force — anyway, the sun-symbols were more appreciative of nature while the diamond symbols sought to conquer it. Don’t know why there’s sun-shields in Eden, then. Very confusing. Might not be true at all
Season of memories?
Jkjk
ikr
season of nostalgia?
jkjk
i also wanted to bring up the sand in vault
because wasteland protects the vault
Btw, what are your thoughts on the paragraphs I wrote starting with this one-
OMG I ALSO FOUND THE SAND SUS
Jkjk
But yeah it was still sus
Same with the crabs
If you are wondering why there are co flicking translations, that is because the story is intentionally vague and/or there was a miscommunication somewhere.
*conflicting translations
oooo ive always thought how the pointing candlemaker stayed in isle when he was older and i theorized it may be because he saw his friends and peers die in the trials and feared it, even if it prophesized power to those who complete them
BUT ALSO SUS SAND
bc fr
they have 2 heavy doors protecting that thing
to keep the knowledge safe from mean krills uwu
but if theres sand there it has to mean something got in
right?
theres no sand leaking from the ceiling, eden has no sand
oml im taking over this server i apologize-
Well...i remember people discussing abt how wl and vault fought against forest and eden elder
You can tell by the symbols on the shield
And try looking in archives there's a big hole in the wall
And lots of damage
It surely wasn't a crab
It could be king? Idk tho
Ever since I've completed the trials, I've been wondering... what exactly have those murals been trying to tell us? Like, are those elemental powers separate from Light that powers us?
I'd like to offer my take on this- basically, I think the murals were telling us of how the Kingdom came to be
Someone came before us, and they succeeded in gaining the power of the elements- after which they shared that power with the other Elders
While that happened, they came across the mountain that would eventually become Eden- and that final mural shows us the Eden castle, very much whole
In addition to that, the final mural shows us the Kingdom at its peak, with the Elders working in harmony under the power of the person who completed the Trials
As for who that person was, I think it's the Prince
It's a fairly common take
What was the point of the trials though, they put us through difficult situations to test our patience, balance etc. Like they were preparing us for something, but what...
The Trials for us I think were mostly us just tryna find out what the heck happened so long ago than a preparation
These things have existed before the Kingdom even began, and it's why I don't think they were meant for us
then again it's very sus that the Trials still exist even after the Kingdom has already fallen and the initial Prophecy fulfilled
New enigma:
If the skiilift ends there (at the platform we get left...
... where did this other pillar here do?
Maybe the skiilift was leading elsewhere
And the line leaves us there just because the boats have an automatic function like:
Then execute u_turn()```
Leading to Eden, maybe
But the fact there are different boats can be misleading
Or could simply mean there was some other stop stations in which you switch line for the next segment of route
That's a pretty long way to Eden-
Could it be because that the elements are still exist even after the kingdom fell?
Imo the elements cannot be destroyed, even by eden diamond explosion. But i think they can be divided/separated into smaller scale. The thing that we retrieve after we meditate in front of each element statues... i think those are the remnants of the original element
The ultimate reward of the trials are different for vurrent skid and the original Child of Light. For CoL, of course are the original alements. But for us are the WLs
You remember that one theory,that stated that there was a whole another city that placed on GW clouds before they fell to GW?
Yea maybe the skilift lead to that town
Also remember that dream village is located under the clouds. They might need skilift to go to other upper cities
it was decay (canon)
hahahahahahahaha
buzzkill aint it
what
oh ye, I remember
aaaaa, been quite a while since I last checked the canon doc
I thought it was Py ray
hahahaha...
plz get it
uh pronounced
lmao
aaaanyway,
for those of you who are in search of certainty in prince-king lore, you are lucky, as in the coming text block, the eden elder, king, prince, cotl will become clearer than ever
(of course, all of it would be canon but if i make mistakes, plz make sure to ping me and tell me abt it)
and so begins the story of α(alpha)
i came up with this in math class and thats why the name`s alpha

interesting
the thing is, there are so many contradicting theories abt the prince and the king that its rlly hard to decide which is likely at all...
that`s cuz we have been looking at this all wrong... "prince" and "king" are mere titles, nothing more... the real guy behind all this is alpha...
alpha is the one star that didnt fall in the opening cutscene... (the name isnt canon i just gave them that name)
why is alpha so important?
you will soon see why...
but first, i recommend u go watch the opening cutscene first
ooookkaaaayyy now that you have watched it, we can continue....
in the opening cutscene alpha doesnt fall. alpha isnt the eden elder. thats very important... the camera focuses on the elders that fall and leaves behind alpha.
then a 7th star emerges from the clouds and lands on eden... thats the eden elder... why? cuz as canon dictates, the stars that fell in the opening cutscene are elders...
now... the eden elder and the other elders collapse, but there is still a few things falling.... now what could those be?
they are shiny and they cant be the elders cuz those have already fizzled out (they actually did... u literally have to give them your light in their temples) nothing else could have fallen.... except for alpha....
but multiple shiny things are falling... hence, alpha shattered and fell, and became the cotl.....
to be continued
i have something that disproves your theory, but go on
alpha is seen a few times in sky history...
orbit room
this... im not so sure tho
its not the eden elder cuz we dont get to meet them (canon)
but it may be just a part of us... so... think what u will here
you can see i have been refraining from using the words "prince" or "king"
thats cuz we still dont know which is which
u decide if alpha`s the king, prince, or both
same goes for the eden elder
but this just may be the true story of the king/prince
i see....
fire away
maybe we can improve my theory
maybe we`ll have to scrap it altogether
lets see...
the thing is, all the stars do fall at the same time
but alpha doesnt
i’ll have to try to send the video, if i can’t then i’ll just send a screenshot
alpha, thé col, DOES
alpha does?
Hello I um got theories abt the storm
no, they all fall at once
alpha is the one in the middle
we dont know
Now I can tell ma theories abt the stooorm?
what should i call you, @delicate osprey
Witch
Ok pyre
cuz... read my whole name out loud
Now ma theories abt da storm
So
I also want y'all POVs
What did the storm disturb?
it distubed the air :((
Now hol up a minute, how you can get the cutscene with that quality???
i recorded it myself
Was it with vertical screen mode
A
Ngl thats wack
no, it’s just my regular ipad resolution
I personally think the storm disturbed alota things
do you have the whole cutscene 
yes, but discord won’t let me send the whole thing
Ooof
ok folks, its qna time
ask your questions abt my theory
remember, alpha is the one in the middle
the one that doesnt fall
I mean... its kinda different
The one bricky send is in better quality
Hm yeah ;-;
doesnt matter
bricky`s has the most importent part
anyway
do any of u have anything to ask me abt the theory?
bricky`s was a good question
my mental stability
eden is already running smoothly
I disagree, we see in the air trial mural that eden was entirely barren until the shinyboi arrived
A
we do?
this is interesting
in the air trial mural coupled with the fire trial, the shinyboi makes the light beam appear
oh the ascension beam
thats not important rn.... the infrastructure marks the construction of a realm
the ascension beam is an accessory
the construction likely began after the shinyboi arrived
meaning there basically was no eden until they arrived to claim it
no
i see
i am now gonna go edit that part abt the fire trial shinyboi being alpha
wait a bit
Its funny, from the intro cutscene i see that the child isnt fall, until we past the clouds and saw the 7th star fell-
the 7th star isnt the child(alpha)
the eden elder is formed straight from the clouds
the eden elder is a new elder
alpha isnt
these recent turn of events make me question the existence of alpha
imo, i don’t think the eden elder is formed from the clouds
oh?
we ARE certain alpha is the original form of the cotl....
and we know alpha plays a major role...
if anything, the child in the centre just fell later than the other elders, giving the impression of falling from the clouds when they actually just fell from orbit after the elders did
it would line up with the prophecy shiny boi only falling after the elders to complete the trials etc etc, since we see the elders were already established but eden was not
alpha knows the elders and the rhythm troupe
the elders await alpha eagerly....
Hoo!
good idea bricky
thats what i thought at first
but thats not how it goes.... the streak suddenly appears from the clouds
Imo the CoL or the 7th star does fell after the elders, maybe 
they are completely different beings
#lore-discussion-spoilers message
8:00
timestamp
see for yourself
alpha aint the eden elder
see the message above
did you see it?
hm, perhaps, but imo it doesn’t make sense for the elder to just a p p e a r from the clouds, it’s just a logical through-line that the being falling in the centre with the 8-pointed star symbol would be the same being who was in the centre of the circle with the 8-pointed star symbol
what are the names of the twins again? 
but the thing is, its completely logical....
you're forgetting:
so you’ll actually see creatures emerging from the clouds and manifesting as the light sort of comes together. You can also think of it as almost like atoms or molecules, like as the light comes together new life is being born”
see?
their fanon names are Samekh
most likely the eden elder was a creation by megan to replace alpha in the elders' new home
so they’re both samekh?
yes
dépends on how you interpret it, Noot
I see that eden was builded first, followed by other temples...
This might line up with prophecy mural, that implying that the kingdom builded after the child get the 4 elements
They share the same name
oh no
either both samekh, or collectively called samekh
imo i split the name into Sam
and Ekh 
ill just use the emojis 
Samekh is Valley Twins
But you can differentiate them Into Sah and Mekh
it but you`re missing the point, floshie... we are trying to decide if alpha and the eden elder are different entities....
Or like Bricky's 
Yeah for that tbh i still need to read it again since im kinda misuderstood some part 
i mean frankly i don’t agree with the existence of this « alpha » but go off i suppose
i just think it’s the child of light
yes, obviously
Personally I like the idea that they have the same name so everyone just did what we do
Vaguely describe their hairs
thing is bricky, alpha is the name for the super powerful cotl before alpha split into multiple smaller weaker cotl
Eh
why eh
The name alpha doesn't do it for me
Oh yeah I forgot I set my nick to this
honestly i’m having my own personal- er- crisis, if you will- regarding what the eden elder, king, prince, and col might relate to, considering the eden elder mural doesn’t match up with any of the king/prince symbolism in game
We don't need a naming poll though?
no one is fixating on names, though ?
Hmm.. I think Pyre's theory does make sense somewhat
I'd even add something to it
Guys let's just call it the seventh light
its better to leave them outta this haha.. after all its just a title... like duke
awww i liked seventh lighty
it’s not « just a title » it’s literally the character’s name ???
I-
ok then
sure
but we dont know if 7th lighty is the prince or the eden elder is the prince
Maybe that means the COL's apple was intended to be a recharge?
apple?
oh by the way,
Prince and the King kind of exists, but we leave that up to you to interpret their roles in the lore
Kid falls, gives literally everything to these people, and becomes desperate for more energy as he runs out.
they are 2 different ppl by the sound of it
He uses something he shouldn't have to recover, and that takes a toll
hmmmm
interesting
ok imma clear it up a bit....
7th lighty: ex leader of the elders, original form of the cotl
eden elder: current leader of the elders, substitue made by the megabird, opener of the ascension beam and the golden boi in the season of prophecy
thats what we know for sure rn
Hello
I just have come to say that im reading the theory vault doc and I really like the idea of krills being just drained light creatures and because of that they hunt, to try and reclaim the light that was once theirs, but stolen
thats all, I like this thought. xD
its really sad tho..
I feel like this is MORE than we know for sure
u consider prince and king to be the same person?
when creatures are being formed by megan out of light, they are neutral.
during this state, if they are exposed to dust, they are created as dark creatures
if they are exposed to stasis sparks, they become light creatures
if they are exposed to nothing, they become neutral
dust is parasitic. it eats up the light inside a creature and makes it constantly hungry, forcing it to be carnivorous, and hunt for external sources of light.
stasis sparks create light a lot and sustain both the light creature and the stasis sparks, and in return, the light creature takes stasis sparks to other places
neutral creatures consume small amounts of light, or none at all and usually consume organic matter.
remember the symbiosis theory?
im a believer of canon
so no
elaborate plz
thats weird because the prophecy seems to be about prince..?
dunno, the symbol looks like his head
what other possibilities are there?
the eden elder might be the prince we dont know
wo, wo wo, brick is here?
the symbols in game are vague enough that we could have a variety of theories and beliefs about who the eden elder, king, prince, child of light, etc., may be
we can never say with complete certainty what we do or do not know
I need a quick breather.
it was directed more at pyre tbh
This guy here is the one you're talking about right?
Notice the ring around the seventh light, very similar to a winged light from far away, yeah? When a winged light is collected it "breaks" or leaves behind little fragments of light that the player can use to recharge even after they've collected it. Let's say hypothetically this ome is special-- more powerful or something. At the end of orbit, if you walk straight through the rebirth gate there is a winged light, but it isn't visible. You only know you've collected it just before the credits. In other words, I believe this one didn't fall. The light-halo around winged lights is also similar to the one around the peak of eden, visible from the other realms. That backs up my statement that this winged light is more powerful. That last winged light is part of the seventh light, and the one creating the halo around eden.
I'm not sure exactly what this could mean, i interpret it as the eden elder/prince may have gotten greedy and tried to take the seventh light, and its pieces became us, the skykids. how do you guys interpret this?
the only cotl-like creatures in sky at the time are the eden elder and seventh lighty... so the fire mural shinyboi has to be one of them
but since the fire mural shinyboi was there before eden and vault, its the eden elder...
interesting... i agree with most of what you are saying, but wl belong to the fallen spirit statues on eden as far as canon is concerned and spirits make that same halo too... but other than that, its good
Ahh yeah, good point.
Okay, slightly cooler now. Pyre, a lot of what you say is theory. There's not a problem with having lots of in-depth theories, but they are still theories.
the king, prince, and the cotl yea, but the eden elder?
what i said abt the eden elder is backed by evidence... but ok sure we dont know for sure
suuuure..... sure
And it often kinda feels like you are trying to make your thoughts end all be all.
kinda.
all be all?
whats that?
oh i searched on google
and oh god no
im so srry if i came out that way...
i second null’s observation
it can be very frustrating when you come up with a theory and act like because you used canon or used observation that it’s the ONLY interpretation that we can use
well.... my theories are very loose
There are no collectable spirits in eden, so i guess that wouldn't impact it? The halos might imply energy, as the emote spirits are dead, let's say ghosts. The elders don't have halos, and are alive in my opinion. (I'm new to the lore scene so forgive my lack of knowledge) does this make the winged lights dead? Or just otherworldly
think of lore chat like literature class
not all observations/interpretations will be the same and that’s the point of media analysis
this goes for everyone here, we should at least keep it in mind
yes yes
and with that i’m off to have breakfast
i wasnt trying to force stuff on u if thats what u r saying
You also have a habit of challenging people when our theories don't fit yours
hmmmmm by eden spirits i mean the eden statues... the fallen stars, the fallen spirits of your ancestors
oh... im srry
my literature teacher has a different view on this matter and thus nobody can get any good grades or anything, because if our thoughts arent identical to her's, we're doomed.
Dont be like that teacher everybody
I agree with this. Sky canon is intentionally vague to the point of nonexistent, all we have are gameplay elements and symbolism found in the levels. Everything is open to interpretation
but other than that, sure
ofc u can decide to ignore canon too
we dont force canon here
it would be like star wars legends
it would have a merit of its own
I always thought those statues represent fallen skykids, other players who died completing eden, and you're saving them/reviving them.
That's more a log of things we know devs have said
which... is the defenition of canon...
if the devs say smth abt the live version of the game, its canon
No, just something that HEAVILY implies canon.
I am sure Reika has said things that are deffinately not canon cause Reika is the type to joke.
The story can change.
Offhand comments can be inaccurate.
The document needs to be treated as a good reference, but not absolute
there are no off hand comments there
Briefly skimmed it, I'm siding with null. They don't give us anything certain about the story itself, mostly random bits about the creatures being almost a manifestation of/born from light. Again, bits and pieces are confirmed but how you connect them is completely open for interpretation
connect?
Connect.
how do u connect confirmation?
Stringing what we do know together where there are no confifmed bonds to create theories and stories.
plz give me an example...
Not connecting confirmation, connecting the information that has been confirmed
im confused rn
Like how i connected the openimg cutscene "seventh light" halo with the halos around the winged lights.
Both things are known to exist but no solid link exists and I am theorizing and coming up with one
im not sure i follow
Does anyone else follow? Sometimes I'm bad at explaining things
the only things u can logically string together are quotes
u cant string together observations and call that canon
that would be absurd
I'm not calling it canon
ik
They are theories.
So your point is?
This is a nonissue, let's move on
so uh
yall think eden is that mountain connecthing the kingdom with uh.. heaven or wherever they had fallen from?
thats the ascension beam
I’ve been sort of lurking and what you said totally makes sense to me, if it matters in any way 
but back to seventh lighty and the eden elder
Actually, yes, maybe the rulers of whatever realm they fell from destroyed it and severed the link, which is why we can't get back
Alrighty, thanks for letting me know
the beam after hugging the shiny guy?
yes
right...
the very one
The ascension beam takes us to get reborn, we don't stay there permanently
It's a sort of limbo
we dont have to leave orbit yknow......
well.. theres nowhere to stay anyway
thats the home of the stars for ya
so there's no point iGuess
I personally don't think orbit is the original home of the spirits and skykids
ok then
well, it does lead to the kingdom
but after we returned the stars to their constellations thats where they went... soooooo
canonically speaking, it is their home.... thats where they fell from
but u can think whatever
seriously no one`s forcing u
this does kinda makes sense
Lets just vibe like this, rn it feels a bit sour
That is a good point actually
can we let this vibe for a bit too?
this one rlly is lore significant
bzhzhzhzhzhzhsssssttttt
That is not even Sky related
it.... is
its just like entering the gw
spiin
oh.. right.. the mantas.
and uh.. other..
right...
I always imagined that more like SMOOOOOSH
huh...
I wonder why we never see any jellyfish which isnt spirit
well, not counting that jelly hair
jellyfish aint spirits
they are just transparents
slightly off topic but i want to bake a cake for my birthday tomorrow and decorate it to be sky themed, was thinking maybe the eden door pattern or one of the elder-shaped heads around it
I was referencing it to spirit mantas, thus spirit jelly
Also gonna ask what you think of the shapes
those are elder faces
I mean the jellies could be post death
just masks shapes to me
I know they correspond with the elder faces
Moreso the order of them
Where they're placed
Any ideas why theres only 5 instead of 6?
you mean isle not being there
oo and by the way, if you exit the eden beyond the pnr these faces at home will light up
Gentle reminder that no one is required to read up on any sort of document to come up with a theory for the game. If they want to take external info as a reference, that's fine. If they are coming up with a theory based solemnly on what they saw in the game, that is also fine, nobody is more right nor wrong than anyone else. The game's open ended and the amount of interpretations players can come up with is endless, and there's nothing wrong with that.
Yes
I am wondering about that too
Valley twins are in one shape too
ok hers my theory for the whole thing back there btw
7th lighty: ex leader of the spirits, original form of the cotl
eden elder: current leader of the elders, substitue made by the megabird, opener of the ascension beam and the golden boi in the season of prophecy
canon also supports all of this
Isle elder is either insignificant or the most significant.
isle was banished prolly
because smakeh (valley)moment
i think?
I read that they were originally supposed to be just one, but since they are supposed to be twins I suppose that doesn’t seem that strange to me, but isle isn’t there at all
They are friend shaped
isle was prolly opposed to the project
oooo, and also, this light on the doors reminds me of that halo which is seen over that little humanoid figure on walls
ok i gotta go sneep
hf
Yes!! Exactly
its non canon time everybody
👀
cya later
Not everything has to conform to canon imo
That would be boring...
goodnight pyre have fun
Byee!! Sleep well 
yeah its already in the pins lol
that explains the landscape, might explain the boats and why many creatures we see are water creatures
mantas, jellies and stuff
flying
and the majority of these creatures learned how to fly
Theres also a lot of water in oobs, but that most likely isn’t significant
like how
no idea dood, lmao
but isnt it sad that crabs cant fly? maybe thats why they are so angry at us, for flying while they cant
dont know how they did it but must have been a funny story
do you want them to fly tho
IF they even came from the water in the first place
they are like mini krills if they can fly
yah, good point, if they were airborne they would be too powerful
theyre good at climbing walls tho
i mean most of the creatures have the "we know names from our real world" while in sky it has completely different kinds
indeed
I mean... idk?
like... mantas are called mantas, in daily quests
dunno if it means anything.
nah
daily quest is quests and since young people are playing they need to understand this things properly thus putting the "we know names"
This structure reminds me of the aviary from beta (i wasnt in beta but i looked at the imgur links in the pins)
just to not make it confusing really
that is a nice structure
It's in the eden social space
wo wo w8, aviary is just a word for big cage?
Also, these boats. Boats in different places have different patterns and I'm still in bed so i can't go looking for matches
Aviary was a prototype version of home
Likely referencing how aviaries can be used to teach birds to fly in a controlled environment
aviary is bootiful
You can perch in the openings by the way
The wall looks like it was either thrown together in a hurry or falling apart
Or both
interesting thing about that wall: if you look closely, the pillars are headless king statues 
off with his head
Ooh-- do we have any scs of pillars with the head?
not with me rn cause im on my computer, but the statues in wasteland battlefield are king statues with the head
I'll have a look later
Honestly it would be cool if the king died French Revolution style lmsgfh
Maybe they tried to erase any imagery of him but in battlegrounds because of the krill?
I also think it's interesting that there are pipes in Eden and wasteland
its hard to remove king
his
propaganda is everywhere
try to remove king propaganda ? good luck
that king guy has big brain ways
Sky propaganda 
I recently learned that the Krill seem to be infected by the darkness just like the crabs.
Aviary and home were always separate places
Are there any theories about who this umbrella holding whateveritis, is? I just noticed it in the ||office||
Oh that’s the concept version of the forest elder! You can find the full image in the pins
She apparently used to lead people deeper into the forest
And then abandon them I guess?
Oh wow, that seems to be a drastic difference from what’s actually in the game now, the headpiece looks awesome though
The idea was abandoned, but remember that an early version of her would have led you to your death whenever you are mad at her for snatching your light
(For me, that is often)
That makes the forest look so much darker, I never thought of it that way it sort of felt more melancholic to me, glad forest mama doesn’t lead us to out deaths 😭
Yeeep
i mean... if we still have home button, that wont be a huge problem innit-
That mask has returned as peaking postman's mask
notice that one of the twin in the first concept is much shorter that their counterpart
and in next concept they are in same height
megabird said its my turn on the height
Whos the guy with a star face on the far right?
ah
The peeking postman mask is a bunny but the mask the forest elder used to wear was said to be a lynx
Also fun fact you can still see this mask above the temple door
I think the gold thing on the prarie temple is also supposed to be the prarie elders concept mask
Aw man I was reading this channels history up to October 2019 and there still isn’t much more canon lore at all ;;-;;
Yeah the devs did that on purpose, they want the story to be open ended so people can come up with their own conclusions!
This is how journey and flower are too
I think those games are easier to understand than sky tho lol
I haven’t played journey, I’m a little hesitant on it cuz of reviews on the App Store about the game being buggy and abandoned 😔 and I get what they’re going for, but after going through all the early concepts and that timeline it all seemed so cool, like there was so much to it but now it feels like sky has nothing in comparison idk if that makes any sense whatsoever 😂
The game was originally a PlayStation exclusive, so playing on there is the best experience
The game wasn’t ported by tgc to other platforms, Sony contracted different companies to do this, Annapurna interactive are the ones responsible for the iOS port
But also it’s just going to be hard in general to port a game of that magnitude to a mobile device and not lose quality
Oh I actually had no idea it was available on ps, I’ll definitely look into that!
Tried it on a laptop via Steam Play. Worked pretty well.
IMHO Journey is a less ambitious game than SKY. Seems like it should translate well to any platform.
no character customization, really. just two texture styles and a few trim details depending on how many lives you'd lived
zero variation in gameplay design, you follow the same path each time
2 player only, multiplayer
it's an amaznig experience of a game, but seems like far less of a challenge to run than SKY
:V they look soo similar
Where dat from?
I found this pic somewhere and the caption was if you get 520 million light years away from earth... you'll see One hundred thousand galaxies like this
I just found this place with my friend! We entered into the television in office
And oh boy oh boy, this makes me think
What earth was a real civilization, and spirits decided to break it bc evil this that, and that’s why there are winged children everywhere
Lol everything inside the office isn't related to sky world 
https://m.imgur.com/a/iGkSRIX
The last image here has something that implies the king and prince are/were intended to be separate beings
So that shiny boi we hug is the prince 
Maybe.
There's also this in the google doc that backs it up more
So the king IS eden, and the prince is somehow rescuing skykids
Maybe
He doesn't look very friendly
His mask looks like the prophecy pendant symbol
prophecy pendant but evil
Prophecy pendant but oH GOD WHAT
Hmmmm what if he became king by completing the trials, sword-in-the-stone type beat
Fulfilled the prophecy
i kinda feel like he was born into it
We know season of prophecy is connected to the lore through the symbolism and tgc said so when they introduced the season
Additionally, they used the word "beware" centered around the season, implying that the prophecy foreshadowed a catastrophic event of some kind, or had unforseen consequences. Maybe the king has been a less-than-benevolent ruler?
Another minor thing is; the prophecy guide's mask is missing the crescent
Doesn’t the prophecy guide have the crescent in game tho?
WHAT HAPPENED TO VAULT ELDER? MELTED BLOB?
Yeah, Vault's journey is... Messy
ah sorry i didnt see your ping earlier thanks you!
thanks didn’t see your ping earlier either! if you’ve still got it i’d like to see 
The "beware" has deffinately driven a lot of us to look for answers.
Personally, I think the wisdoms were the kingdom's downfall.
If you are too patient, you do not apply urgency when nessasary.
If you are too resilient, you will spend resources where you should not.
If you are too balanced, you are unfocused.
If you are too brave, you will go up against that you cannot defeat and lose.
And the worst part is, you can wind up convinced that the solution to your problems is more of the problem
Uh
..... Hi
First off don't mention the office here
Things in beta stay in beta
Second off.... We were meant to be in the king at some point!?
The office is in live and beta 
maybe he consumes our light? if we continue with the 7th light theory from this morning, maybe the prophecy was also connected to the special winged light, and when the king took it for his own, it caused a catastrophic event that destroyed Eden and parts of the realms, and instead of stability he's now this entity that is constantly hungry for light- think about a massive star that burns too hot and collapses in on itself, becoming a black hole that sucks in everything that comes near it.
Hm
That's an idea! I really like that
Maybe the diamond that splurged red diamonds is... His heart??? Idk lol
What's the difference between a fire and a flame?
Perhaps the answer could be a clue to this sight
N o m
Wassup y’all, what’re you guys discussing right now? :))
big think
Much think, big smort
(But like for real what were u thinking XD
I honestly don't know
UhHhhhh
I don't think sky kids need food
But there is the crab roaster thing in gw
Maybe the ancient spirits ate roasted crab
that's from season of belonging, pleaful parent was cooking them
Yummy
blushing prospector is a former villager of the village of dreams?
yes
but died in forest
The ancient crab 
imagine how overcooked those crabs are by now bro
It's so overcooked they melt in your mouth XD
Hello, i have returned to explore lighty some more
The 7th lighty
Lighty for short
Oh great now chats ded
Welp
Chat ded
i can't see it bruh
That... aint lighty... see, lighty didnt fall until after the fall of the kingdom... the proph boi is the eden elder with almost no doubt... but u r free to think whatever u see fit.
proph boi = the golden boy in murals?
Given that the proph shiny boi made eden and helped with vault, its the eden elder
Ye
what do you think the isle elder is?
Ig he didnt support it
And was banished
i cmt remembaa TT
Smart daleth
Thats lamed no?
idk who lamed is
oooohh
Yeah...
Do limit the use of concept names
Ok back to lighty
My final theory is lighty was the leader of the elders in the sky before the fall
But when the stars fell and lighty didnt, the other elders needed a leader to replace lighty... so the megabird foretold the coming of the eden elder
And thats proph...
After the fall of the kingdom, lighty was kicked outta the sky and split into many different pieces, creating the cotl
Wait who’s lighty
Hm lemme see again
By logical deduction, the cotl are pieves of lighty
i thought that we would be kids of whoever woke us up
All the other stars fell and were extinguished
It looks a lil like something decended from the middle of the fallen stars. Coulda been something else I guess.
We are all kids of the megabird
Even lighty and the elders
Thats the eden elder
Lighty isnt the eden elder
But the same pointy circle around Lighty is the same sun lookin dealie on top of eden structure. and maybe the other structures I can’t rememebr
Thats the eden elder
I think they are the same. But it comes down to interpretation.
It NOT being eden elder would line up with eden elder being born as an actual child.
It being eden elder would match the number of elders seen in vault mural and explain who was missing in intro.
kami thats what i was tryna figure out
Can go either way easy peezy
i was slowmo-ing the video like no the middle ddnt fall
lmaooo
then all the sudden there is a new one
According to my theory the eden elder was lighty's replacement so its normal they look the same...
But they cant be the same being, cuz the eden elder's trajectory starts below cloud cover, meaning the eden elder was created in those clouds...
But lighty exists above all that doesnt fall
So lighty aint the eden elder but think what you will
I recommend u watch the opening cutscene again
It pans down after the others fall. Then a lil streak of light goes to eden peak.
My theory works just as well?
The center dude never appears to fall
Yes
Lil streak is the eden elder(canon)
But that could also be his light streak in the middle
The lil streak comes from BELOW cloud lvl
That's quite tragic 😔
Could be the megabird.
So yall now understand lighty aint the eden elder?
Sky lore is a jello
im asusming megabird is like a name for "The light" since its the thing we are all apart of or something???
the thing is, there are so many contradicting theories abt the prince and the king that its rlly hard to decide which is likely at all...
that`s cuz we have been looking at this all wrong... "prince" and "king" are mere titles, nothing more... the real guy behind all this is alpha...
alpha is the one star that didnt fall in the opening cutscene... (the name isnt canon i just gave them that name)
why is alpha so important?
you will soon see why...
but first, i recommend u go watch the opening cutscene first
ooookkaaaayyy now that you have watched it, we can continue....
in the opening cutscene alpha doesnt fall. alpha isnt the eden elder. thats very important... the camera focuses on the elders that fall and leaves behind alpha.
then a 7th star emerges from the clouds and lands on eden... thats the eden elder... why? cuz as canon dictates, the stars that fell in the opening cutscene are elders...
now... the eden elder and the other elders collapse, but there is still a few things falling.... now what could those be?
they are shiny and they cant be the elders cuz those have already fizzled out (they actually did... u literally have to give them your light in their temples) nothing else could have fallen.... except for alpha....
but multiple shiny things are falling... hence, alpha shattered and fell, and became the cotl.....
to be continued
Nah dude. I still think they are the same even if I can see them being different.
JELLO
No... the megabird is the creator of everything.... basically god, singular, in sky
Im still learning and lore hunting forming. its too soon for me to form my opinion i think
Ok...


sacrificed himself for SkyKids and was half corrupted
