They sell spells, so they’re probably involved with enchantment somehow…. I am thinking. I don’t think they’re part of the ench crew necessarily just because they look so much different, but they probably met at some point.

They have the prairie pot mask so I’m going to guess they are from prairie. Maybe they saw the enchantment spirits when they came through their realm and were so fascinated they decided to start making spells as well?

An idea of how skykids eat

  1. Insert edible item into eye
  2. Light inside incinerates edible item
  3. It smells good when it burns

Someone (including me): Maybe the sky kids actually have regular humanoid bodily functions and organs and stuff and all the extra stuff is gameplay/the fact that they're aliens
Lorechat: No, they have to eat through their eyes.

unborn narwhal
frigid tinsel
#

I believe they have mouths in-universe, just isn't shown in-game for whatever reason

keen shore
#

Digestion is easy for me to comprehend as it relates to skykids. The food would just get incinerated and turned into light.

Blinking is a bit weird because I don’t know why they’d need to do it, but them being able to is not.

Chewing and the acrual process of eating? Hmm… A bit harder. I can see skykids having mouths. Chewing is a bit weirder but now that I think about it, I can see it too. I still see them as charcoal shells with light inside, but am beginning to think that they still function like humans do in some areas, like eating. They’re just made up of different things

I do not see them having organs at this time, but that’s just because I think it’s cooler for their entire body and soul to basically just be really fiery and hot super concentrated light. Like the food just goes in and wooshhh incinerates instantly into light, powering them.

continuation....even though im getting too into this, The krill begins to shine red light on the moff and wasteland elder is having a minor anxiety attack because forest will literally eradicate him for basically traumatising her apprentice, so he begins to run towards ze moff. Vault has turned the video call thing away, prairie is traumatised and is leading the othe moffs away, isle is standing (in the least). Suddenly the krill begins to launch towards the moff, only for a big hammer to smash down on the wasteland elders head knocking him unconsious and silently puttiing duct tape on the valley twins mouths as the mysterious figure destroys the krill in one go and leads the moffs away. The elders have been taken away and wasteland elder is now in hospital with a concussion. The end. oh and the valley twins were forgotten.🤌 Now peace out to my broken hands.

Ok ok. I have a whole theory going. (Here bc the server is down lmao)

Ok so Season of Prophecy: because there is no “the darkness is coming” part in the prophecy, I think it was made while they already knew about the darkness coming and the prophecy was a last ditch effort. The prophecy they got was “someone will come down, master the element trials, ascend us all, and spread light to the land.” So they started testing and training each new spirit that came to see if they are the chosen one.

Also fun fact: the spirit guide is in the Fire Prophet’s memory as a student. (Also a lot younger)

Will attach videos. Don’t mind my friend haha. They’re just vibing with me.

#

Also: no way that the hair styles lining up with the spirits in Daylight Prairie is a coincidence

Very sure that they’re the same spirits, just younger

compact shale
#

When you ascend a spirit, their model turns yellow

Their model is also yellow in every instance they appear, such as their memories...

and other spirit's memories

If none of them are yellow, it either means you haven't ascended the spirit you think it is, or the student isn't using the same spirit model as the spirit you think it is

burnt saffron
#

Are you sure? By the time I took this photo, I had completely finished Aisle of Dawn. I’m pretty sure the yellow spirits is just the spirit you’re following

#

Because there’s no way that guy isn’t this guy

compact shale
#

Yes, spirits turn yellow when you buy their ascended node

Their models aren't the same, the one in the first pic doesn't have a jar, the one below doesn't

It's a technical thing, not a spirit identification thing

The one above could be the one below but off the job

Or they could be 2 different Isle priests who look the same because priest uniform and such

harsh pecan

#

I have a theory that may not make any sense...perhaps skykids were a backup plan made in secret by the isle elder because he knew that what the king was doing was wrong and would result failure. Salem said that it wouldnt be possible because the isle elder couldnt possibly by himself have that much power. Then i thought about it and realised that in lore it was possible that they were made quite quickly...hands are mittens, only power is spells, flying and nonsensical honking and are built quite small considering other creatures in sky....the stone art is isle is made by the isle elder himself to educate the new skykids. Oh and if this is all nonsesical i still have a question....who made the stone art actually because it seems to have been made after the apocalypse.

burnt saffron
#

Oh. Actually, it’s kind cool. Through the Troupe greeter I learned that there were spirits after the apocalypse. They just also died out eventually. I think they could have drawn them? In the moth male spirit’s memory, you see drawings on the walls

Moving on haha. For @outer hare

I have a theory that we are the same creature as the spirits, just… still alive. (I’m nurturing all my theories rn haha. Only have screenshots and videos for Aisle of Dawn)

But then that begs the question of why can we fly but they can’t? Maybe it’s because they don’t have enough WL? They can give us Wing Buffs so clearly they have some (or wing buffs are made from something else)

It was also really confusing to me why the spirits had capes if they can’t fly

#

It would be like a chosen one trope, where we’re the same creature, just special bc we’re special

compact shale
#

Why do spirits have capes if they can't fly?

Well, it's heavily implied (maybe once stated) that Navigator's cape looks like that because it's also a traffic signal device, but I don't know if any of the other capes have a special purpose

Or maybe spirits CAN fly, but they absolutely need wind, kinda like IRL wingsuits?

outer hare
burnt saffron
# compact shale Why do spirits have capes if they can't fly? Well, it's heavily implied (maybe ...

My running theory is that spirits with capes only have 1 wedge (so they wouldn’t fly because it’s not really efficient for them. Kind of like you wouldn’t build a chicken coop with the purpose of flying in mind. (Because they’re not that good at it) but then why don’t they have stars?) I don’t know. I’m figuring it out haha.

And haha… I miss a lot of jokes. Social cues? What are those

#

Oh also. I’m pretty sure that spirits are born in Aisle of Dawn and then have to offer a candle to the elder to move on to the next world. Based on these screen shots

#

But there’s also inconsistency with this. There are several children in Valley of Triumph as well as a spirit with parent in their name, so can they reproduce? Is a parent just someone who adopts a young spirit? Did the children in VoT just get speed ran through it??

Ancestors can reproduce, yes (though that doesn't necessarily mean they do it the human way), since several spirit memories have spirit children in them. Confident Sightseer has a child in theirs, and young skater + the scouts from assembly exist. Then there is the child from the switch trailer. Weather they can reproduce as spirits is up in the air. I have a theory that they're all actually still around, but other people think they're deader than dead and only temporarily descend sometimes to help us.

As detailed the world of Sky is, I am very certain that us skykids do not have learn about the birds and the bees when it comes to ancestors.
Can we accept the Stork Tale and leave it at that?

probably lol
Even if sky kids could also grow up and reproduce, they don't even necessarily reproduce like ancestors (Though, I actually doubt that, since sky kids seem more and more to be 'ancestors, but they can fly now')

nimble ingot
#

Skykids are fireproof, can take a rock to the head and keep skipping along like nothing happed (maybe lose their light, but wont suffer a concussion), can fly (as you stated), and change their appearance at a moments notice.

Ancestors on the other hand do not change their cosmetics (at least not often when it does not come to events), cannot fly, need to rest eat and drink, have a soul and live in a civilisation.

Sure, Sky ancestors are not exactly like humans, though they are based on human living and civilisation.

tranquil harbor
#

Raider, saying 'ancestors but they can fly' was just an incredibly simplified thing, not me saying it's the only difference period
Also, young skater changes her cosmetics in dreams. I think they don't change for simplified game reasons, not canon reasons

nimble ingot
#

"cannot fly"
(I thought that I mistyped at fist)
Skykids are similar to ancestors, though I do not think they are ancestors.

For what little worth the concept art still holds, a skykid stands a better chance at being a descendant (similar but different) than being an actual ancestor that got the ability to fly and sort of immortal (due to being reborn). That or a hybrid that includes the ancestors and something else (either Light itself, the elders or the King).

I don't think sky kids are ancestors, I meant that in a 'they are crazy similar way'

Hello Sajain!

floral grove
# compact shale Why do spirits have capes if they can't fly? Well, it's heavily implied (maybe ...

If the Ancestors'/Spirits' capes acted as wingsuits, we'd see more "drop-off towers" scattered around the kingdom. They're towers whose sole purpose is to serve as a high ground for the Ancestors to jump off and fly with their capes, kinda like a diving board. Though, I think the most logical explanation for the capes, at least for me, is that they were worn because they used to be the trend and or they were very functional. Humans wore capes for a long time and had only been replaced by jackets recently. They protected people from rain, served as wind breakers, provided warmth and they looked really cool. Perhaps the question is why Sky Kids were made to use capes for flight and not for other practicalities like what I mentioned with humans earlier

#

If we replace the Sky Kids' capes with wings, they will still be functionally the same. Perhaps Megabird had a good sense of fashion so he made sure "default" Sky Kids wore capes as a callback to the kingdom's past fashion before everything died

I'm sure candles are just a way to visualize light and be poetic since candle light is notoriously frail, especially so we can quickly make a difference between the candle counter (currency) and flame counter (life when you're out of wl). But in canon maybe they were just a means to carry light offerings and ancestors didn't have litteral candles in their chest SkyLOL

# gritty aspen Have we worked out the biology of the sky kids?

So essentially the lot of us are pretty sure skykids are not biological, fleshy beings. Rather they’re prob golems, made of inanimate materials brought to life with magic.

My Working Theory on the Composition of a Skykid
–clothing, hair, masks & other cosmetics made of light.
–a humanoid physical shell made of some magic-induced earthen material (i.e. clay, stone, ash, charcoal, meteorite) that has a hole in the chest and eyes.
–this hollow shell is full of light, such as winged light and neutral light.
–their cape, a manifestation of winged light.
–their flame, manifesting as the light in the hole in their chest and held outside their bodies via a red candle.
–their soul, appearing as a blue sparkle.

As far as I heard (though may have missed a couple of conversations about it), it could be a crab, a small krill, or even something else that has claws. Which no enemy in the game so far has that would be a definite suspect.

And then winged light allows for more light to be stored in the shell, or perhaps winged light modifies the cape

frigid tinsel
#

you're free to interpret thing as however you'd like since we don't have any clear info on how skykids function.

though I think the opposite – flames are rather weak. winged light makes their flames more resilient and, when their flames are extinguished, they can thrive off their flames. skykids need light to function. their flames serve as a constant power source. winged light serves the primary purpose of flight but the secondary purpose of extra power. underwater, winged light protects their flame from going out for whatever reason (which goes into oceans are realms of darkness that I don't have time to explain in length).

"wax" is the community term for what's called "pieces of light" in game. I don't think skykids use this neutral light for power but rather to make their cosmetics. skykids have some degree of light manipulation. they may feed off their neutral light too. that remains unclear. they definitely use it to rechagre.

Some common speculation is that the Prince was a powerful entity similar to a sky kid, and this character won the trials of Prophecy, and became the King. And then the society advanced and lost its way and the King became corrupted by darkness and then ….. the future. We are here and there’s a storm and they are all history now except their spirits.

Going off of this (for the second time >:|)

In this case in particular, I’d like to think that the climates began to fluctuate/find and even ground. It’s pretty hot and cold in journey, from literal dry desert to endless blizzards.

Perhaps snow began to melt and create large bodies of water throughout the realms, thus also jumpstarting the greenery. This would then be ruined by whatever may be in the GW pipes as well as failing to tend to the lands and keep them in order (isle of dawn)

In Light Awaits, the realms were as follows:

Golden Wasteland - Dusk / Shores of Mana
Vault of Knowledge - Night / City
Eye of Eden - Storm

Forest was noted in the old lore to be where the dark stone was found. So, it is theoretically possible that these realms had a major point in the plot.

Well, they do. The realm [noun] is being described [adjective] whether as [adjective][noun] or as [noun] of [adjn], the latter when a noun describes another noun like an adjective. There’s a specific term for it, I don’t remember.

I dont know what was boneyard called in the past.
The Forest used to be referred as a lumberyard, or a quarry. while The Wasteland was a similar case, but a ruined front of the city. At least, that is what I gathered based on the old lore concept art.

Shipwreck in Wasteland was a fan name, interestingly enough, based on the boat in the area. The actual name was later on revealed (I don't recall where) to be Crab field, because of the crabby bois.

Earlier to day, I wondered if the boats might be inspired/influenced by Scandinavian boats (Vikings) and interestingly there is this one tid-bit.

Based on what I read, Viking boats have usually 2 main types. For mercantile and war, though there is overlapping when it comes battle.
The war boats would be smaller and narrow for speed. And they would rely either on sails to move across the water, or rowing oars.
Boats were vital as they means that Vikings could fish from the deep ocean, bring lifestock to other lands, carry cargo and move groups of people around across the waters.

You think that the ancestors consider water to be holy because they used to have boats like us, and even the arrival of the sky boat with the discovery of darkstone didnt change that ?

# rigid mural You think that the ancestors consider water to be holy because they used to have...

well... Theoretically and based on the old lore, yes.
As for the current lore, I am not certain.

If the vases carried water and were left in the temples, the yes.
If anything, the Wasteland temple seemed to be once the best candidate for the water theme, so for Wasteland, it might have been important enough to have water come in. I dont think the dark water in there is an accident, or a sign of ruin, but instead a remnant of the place once had water as the lower level for travellers to safely dock inside and enter the Vaul.

# outer hare What is this art made for? Any specific realm/temple?

This was an early concept by Jose Luis Vaello Bertol, and this one was for the Elder of Dawn based on the design.
What I would like to point out is how the water in the scene (while not easily visible, it is noted) implies holy ground.

Still water represent holiness as it call back to the biblical creation of God moving over water, how water is pure, and Jesus walking on water.

While the current game does not use this scene. I believe the reference still lingers in the current game as the ground in Orbit is water.

Yeah, a lot of stuff in terms of design was vastly different. Just look at the capes as we discussed recently. They were removed cause the game got a lot slower with stuff this intricate.

There’s also the Aviary. I wonder what will happen if all these LA features came in a PC release of Sky

nimble ingot
#

The design of the cape would be blank when you start the game for the first time. As you complete playthroughs, upon being reborn, the cape would become more detailed until it is fully detailed.
This was a nice call back to the Journey capes.

That’s a good point. But even if it was to improve performance, I would love to see Realms that take like, a full half hour to traverse even without candle running. A much more “open world” feeling to them. pEyes

yeah, looking at the old play throughs, the world felt more spacious and the skykids felt so small and fragile.

A lot of players were upset about losing Aviary and getting Home.

I am sad to learn about Dawn used to me much more, interesting, detailed, exciting even!
And now all the we got is a blank realm with no daily quests. Sure, newborn moths and bitter vets can have some peace and quiet there, but the realm feels left out in more ways than what feels like the realm deserved.

# nimble ingot yeah, looking at the old play throughs, the world felt more spacious and the sky...

I honestly don’t mind how small Home is compared to Aviary. Would it be nice to have a larger place to hang our capes and lounge around? Of course. But at the same time, I don’t think I want a home that’s just, this big open area. It might feel too…spacious. (And yes, I am aware that this contradicts that I said above.) I feel like the current size of home is just fine for it’s intended purpose, but maybe that’s just me.

#

Aviary had more potential for mapping and makes a lot more sense then what I do for current maps-

nimble ingot
#

Flight season area at least brought back some of the aviary vibes.

With spacious areas, I can't help but think of the open air above the village in Day.
Would it kill the mantas if they flew a tad bit higher up?
That and wouldn't it be much if there were a boat or two going about in the air above them?

Places like Sanctuary islands had nice open spaces to zoom around in. But players will have to land at some point, so the problem naturally lies in finding a balance between exploration, flying and content (what is there to explore).

I was looking through the light awaits initial beta isle, and i discovered it looked quite similar to the concept art for season of flight. ( im not sure if this helps anything but i noticed it and thought i might post it ^^)
