# frigid tinsel i am cr uber once again

ok I will explain instead then . ok so @ocean saddle the gist of the headcanon is that those statues summon the elders or have a connection to them somehow, hence why they’re in vault (cutscene where elders get summoned) and were in orbit castle for same purpose.

ALTERNATIVELY, a headcanon of mine that I just remembered is relevant here is that the place we die in pnr and part of where that statue is, was the former top floor of vault and the vault temple just got moved down later.

Unfortunately we don’t have too much info on how these statues work but here are some ideas

# ocean saddle Okay, so can someone tell me why is there a shrine-like structure from the Vault...

disclaimer: so part of this is headcanon
as Salem explained, the statues seem tied to the Elders. meditating in front of them brings you to their pocket dimensions. after the Vault Elder's cutscene, the rest of the Elders join you, so the circular ring of Elder altars seems to correlate with multiple Elders in that pocket dimension.

note that the altars are around the Vault Elder's statue. perhaps the Vault Elder held some importance than being a mere co-ruler, perhaps being the original Eden Elder before Chosen One / king stole the show. or perhaps the arrangement gives them the ability to summmon the other Elders into their pocket dimension.

# frigid tinsel yea but that's not the Vault. That's Eden

It reminds me of the Vault summit, honestly.
I have this (unrefined) headcannon that what we see during our ascent is Sky getting destroyed in the storm. Kinda like "life flashing before your eyes".

It's not refined, it's just kinda what I interpret from it. SkyShrug

frigid tinsel
# white junco I don’t have the images on hand but in the concept art from the animation teaser...

part of it may be that the Vault is underground inside the Eden mountain. it would not be visible from outside Wasteland Elder temple.

although there's a theory that the Vault was made later in the kingdom's history. Salem's headcanon takes that the beam of light over Eden was triggered by the Chosen One could've charged inside the mountain, destroying the rock and leaving a vertical tunnel that would be the scaffolding for the Vault

That's not what I meant

# hushed steeple That's not what I meant I don't think those things are actually *there* physica...

I'm very not partial to sudden unexplained dream sequences "it's not real" tropes and all that, so I'm inclined against them. in this case, it doesn't make sense to me – granted we transition from soaring above stormlock to that whole ascent, which makes the geography unclear. there is at least something up ahead that is obscured by the Eden diamond.

it would also be important for an Eden Elder or the king to be able to summon or access all the Elders, so perhaps that ring of altars was made for their purposes.

the path to the ascent also is in ruin, so if it were a flashback to what couldn't be saved, wouldn't it look not as destroyed?

white junco

we also have this depiction of vault from an isle mural that confirms it is very tall

Notice the giant Diamond in top of vault temple… is that the corrupted power Diamond? Maybe…

hushed steeple
# frigid tinsel I'm very not partial to sudden unexplained dream sequences "it's not real" trope...

It could also be a statement of
"Watch the stuff you tried to save get destroyed anyway"

I can't really get behind everything requiring a physical presence because meditation is an important part of Sky. The headscape or whatever you want to call it holds importance – it's how we meet the Elders and how we learnt to swim. So I don't want to discount things happening inside a Skykid's head on the principle that everything should have a physical presence.

rigid mural
#

Perhaps the presence of all the elder statues in vault is to foreshadow the cutscene and Eden ? Cos I know that the room you're in after the vault cutscene ends doesn't have a single altar, so maybe those were a part of the elder's memory ?

hushed steeple
#

Basically the "real" Vault – the realm not influenced by the Elder's magic – is the tiny room we see after the full cutscene (is what I think)

Kinda sad to think about actually pCry

Eden is also foreshadowed in Vault mama's cutscene as the crown that takes the shape of a mural

floral grove
#

If Vault Elder has the ability to turn one tiny room into a gigantic tower with the use of her magic even after her death, does that mean she's the most powerful of all the Elders except for the King? pEyes

#

The Vault Elder being the most powerful is now my headcanon. I haven't seen any sort of supernatural abilities from the King yet so I'll just exclude him

tranquil harbor
#

we don't actually know if the elders are dead. They might not even be stuck, and that space is merely their 'office' of sorts where they deal with the children

Since I read you other comment about lightseekers and cycle and spring, by reading this list of seasons it's kind of a let down 😅

I hoped the Lightseekers had taken place on as a springtime, instead it started in September (fall) 2019. Soo that all seasons had a meaningful period assigned to each.

Meanwhile Rhythm (which during Sky Light Awaits was a drafted Winter Season) was the definitively released between winter-spring of 2020

#

Then how about Flight? Have someone in lorechat figured why and how a peaceful season like that could ve themed to the withering fall ? 🤔

I've been thinking, and I think Megabird is actually something like Ponyo's mother. As in makes up the sky itself in a way and swims under the water in Orbit. It would be a pretty solid theory considering how the office lake light creatures are spinning in water and not in the sky like most other light creatures. Cause the office lake light creatures are pretty reminiscent of murals and said creatures in there are usually found in orbit or smth
But I do like the headcanon that Orbit isn't as it seems, that the not only is the sky not the limit, but that the ocean below is also deeper. Especially with season of Abyss cause that makes it feel like there's stuff underneath the waters that we haven't explored yet, including Orbit's water.
Maybe our Sky kid just hasn't experienced true death or so and can't go under Orbit's water. Who knows.

Orbit seems like a far away place in outer space, almost how Heaven is depicted and at times theorised to be a separate dimension.

the use of water as the floor in Orbit may symbolically imply the place is Holy and pure.
In Genesis, the story of creation tells of God moving over water, creating the heavens, the earth, the plants and animals; and lastly creating mankind to live in paradise, the garden of Eden.

When mankind disobeyed, they were cast out of the garden and had to live out their mortal lives and the knowledge they gained from the forbidden fruit.

Apologies for the tangent, back to the topic:
The water mural is unique and poses interesting questions regarding the lore. It is near the office portal, which is established to be non-canon, yet Vault is.

I like to think that the mural being at the edge of what is canon and what is not, jmplies that the King and Megabird (the figures in the mural) are the most distant and elusive characters in the Sky lore.
Which partly lines up with the more powerful beings tend to be harder to come by in the game, and them being the divine beings of the Sky world.

Was everything destroyed after we sacrifice everything or was it just vault that was destroyed due to it’s close proximity to eden?

It could even be the other way around. The turtle was decorated by Ancestors

I think there was a urban legend or a real fact about a turtle with markings on its shell which dated back to centuries SkyThink

anyway, now that we have this light turtle I think there might be another species (who know, maybe more earth base similar to tortoise ) with horns and goatee, like the one we saw depicted by the water prophet mask

# clear glacier I've been thinking, and I think Megabird is actually something like Ponyo's moth...

I’ve been thinking about the water in Orbit too. Consider

When walking toward the rebirth door, the spirits pop out of the watery surface beside our starry path. Yes we can walk on it, but we can’t disappear into like they do. Perhaps under those waters is the Light and Orbit is merely the surface. If we could dive under the waves, we would be submerged into the Light.
As for why we can’t go under the waves, not sure. I do like your idea that because skykids haven’t experienced “true” death they can’t go in. I’ve been thinking that since skykids’ mission is incomplete — there are more spirits to be saved — that we are reborn and can’t reunite with the Light completely.

I do like to think that touching the water briefly connects one to the Light.

I like to think that ever having the waves touch you, you can hear people within the Light whispering to you or get a taste of their memories

Water can also be thematically tied to connection and universiality. Water is everywhere, found in even the most remote places, and has theoretically been all over the upper crust of the planet thanks to the water cycle (powered by the heat of the sun, a star). All the mass of water has remained on Earth ever since it’s been here. Ancient organisms and species long extinct have had the same water you have, in a way connecting you with the past and future beings to you. So to me the Office mural being projected in water seems to reference that.

Water has been useful for travel, sailing over it brings people and things across great distances to far off lands, for better or for worse. Black American arts often features a sentiment of kalunga

a cosmological system that understood bodies of water to be bridges connecting the lands of the living and the realm of the dead.
to connect with ancestral Africa.

So again the water in Orbit and mural may be embodying a spiritual connectiveness. While skykids cannot truly submerge themselves in the Light, they can still bond to it

Now I’m on a rabbit hole of mythologies. I got work to do

#

The mythology discussion made me realize that orbit reminds me quite a bit of the concept of heaven portrayed in the Divine Comedy. Where space and heaven are the same thing, and everything is brightly glowing and orbiting around a central brightest point (in the Paradiso that point is God, which I don’t think applies in sky but it’s interesting)
I still need to actually read the Divine Comedy, I have it around here somewhere but I haven’t gotten around to it. But based on what I’ve read about it, the shot of orbit we first see where it’s too bright to make out details could potentially match up

#

@white junco notice the small swipes. You don't need to make a midair twist/twirl, I think it's necessary just to get a good angle to get pushed up

Then (when you start loosing the ground as relative point) you need to orientate in midair where the wind wall is and that's why I advice to train with circular/spiral gliding (so that the trail can help you figure out also if you're loosing height)

For context Esther, that specific boat model has been bothering me for ages, since before the sanctuary one came out, and I still don’t know why it looks like that. It’s in the first room before Eden too, as well as one spot in forest

It’s so weird to me because only some of the boats with that model have darkstone slots on them. How did this boat even function??

keen shore
#

MAYBE, but the spots it’s in would make that super weird. Plus there’s manta boats in the wind paths and they looked nothing alike

hushed steeple

So, the boat definitely looks as though its ueavy and strong, like it’s meant to be reinforced. One slight possibility could be that it was used during the war, but there is nearly no other form of evidence to support that.

We also do it the entire Eden journey, probably to shield from darkness in the air, although I don’t think we do it in wasteland/Forest where it’s also dark, weirdly enough

queen forum

I think the darkness particles are carried with the wind, and since the wind in those places isn’t nearly as strong enough as it is in Eden, it doesn’t really affect as as much.

Going slower than that, gives you a similar animation of them taking deliberate steps, almost limping, while holding onto their chest.

Yeah, I think that’s it. Wasteland is dangerous, but you really have to travel a bit to find direct danger. Eden, however, doesn’t care, and will beat at you every step of the journey no matter where you are.

rigid mural
#

I like to think the elders hold back the storm while we fix what we can, so wasteland being protected by 2 elders if you count Vault, it is hostile but not as lethal as Eden.

frigid tinsel
#

I find Wasteland isn’t as dangerous due to its distance from the center of the Storm. Eden becomes more dangerous the closer to the red diamond you go, especially given the red darkstone rain

rigid mural
#

Wasteland is dangerous if you don't know the terrain well (moths) or if you're reckless, but it's doable even when you're tired.
Eden needs you to observe and know the rythm of rock rains and enough luck to not be repeatedly knocked down when you get hit.

native shoal
#

Wasteland is only really dangerous to those unused to it

#

Eden straight up kills everyone regardless of skill level, the only difference between moths and veterans is how long it takes to get killed

not really sure. since it correlates with the daily quests, the timing of their blooming may be just an in-game thing. I like to think that in-universe that they're much like irl flowering trees – blooming at the start of the springtime, maintaining their flowers for a period of time, then the flowers fall off and they remain inert.

as for the wisteria tree in Forest social space, it's prob gonna disappear.

on seasonal guides being parental
Gratitude: adopted gratitude vets, really good at distracting and entertaining kids
Lightseekers: probably the kind that doesn't speak much but lets kids sleep against them while they enjoy their tea
Belonging: a litteral grandma
Rythm: probably not parental but likely really good at entertaining kids
Enchantment: doesnt strike me as being particularly parental but i do see them being a favorite among nerds because they are likely very astute
Sanctuary: the cool uncle that knows some secret passageways to hidden spots, probably popular with adventurous kids
Prophecy: same vibe as enchantment but for stories, probably good at entertaining kids albeit they would probably get overhelmed with rowdy and loud ones since they live in a cave
Dreams: a litteral parent
Assembly: probably would be like a sibling, definitely would play and get in trouble with sky kids
TLP: no
Flight: Similar to prophecy but probably handles loud kids a bit better
Abyss: a bit shy but actually pretty tough, probably can handle rowdy kids better than appearances may suggest, would likely take on an older sibling role

okay okay but i expect mellow to be the one that teaches canoneer how to play the electric guitar
and one of the songs is that one tiktok audio where it's run run from fnaf but electric guitar cover pEyes
and canoneer especially plays it when missing mellow

since cannoneer learned their favorite song from angler, and we know angler is a fan of sea shanties, I propose cannoneer sea shanty metal cover on the electric guitar

So Mellow Musician has been released huh

Musician: *makes manta calls on the guitar
Someone who knows: STOP IT!! YOU'RE MAKING YOUR GUITAR SCREAM!!!!
Musician: Dude what
Someone who knows: DON'T YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR POWER SOURCE IS MADE OF?!
Musician: Aren't those just magic rocks?
Someone who knows: Dear birds....

Skykid: Okay gang, Mellow's guitar has run out of power. Now... (takes out torch) Angler, Cannoneer, I need to burn one of your capes to power it again. Which one will it be?
Angler: W-why do you need to burn our capes...?
Skykid: Your capes have the power source we need for the guitar.
Cannoneer: BIRDDAMIT, WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST ASK?! (detaches darkstone pendant from cape and yeets it to skykid so hard they fall over)

Here's Megabird. Fun fact, our galaxy belongs to a supercluster called Laniakea and it looks like a Sky manta pPopcorn

It occurs to me that our capes – the lil teardrop shape at the top of the screen with our wedges – it fills the negative spaces of Megabird's silhouette pEyes

#

He could be the "Light" that shows us the way when we honk and the one in the game title. If Sky Kids are the children of light/Megabird, then that means Sky Kids are like the direct descendants of Megabird which explains the teardrop shape of our capes fitting almost perfectly in Megabird's empty space. As if he had to sacrifice a part of himself in order to create Sky Kids to save the Kingdom of Sky pEyes

Either that or he's just one wacky manta-looking creature with a large wingspan with a bunch of strips for wings SkyLOL

Confirmed spirits can't wear coats the normal way.

#

Dancing Performer, Bumbling Boatswain and Performance Questgiver:

tranquil harbor
#

I wonder if they're actually coats or if 'cape that looks like a coat' is just popular fashion trend for spirits (for skids at least, it might just be that they're channeling their winged lights into an object to act as wings) Would it look good if they wore them properly?

compact shale
#

There is concept art of the Boatswain cape being worn properly

I feel like it's to more easily visualize how they look on skids and some spirits can wear coats properly.

Do you think Cannoneer was specifically built to be loved by the fandom so that everyone would get shocked at their fate?

They've got the edgy looks, the arson, the hammy personality that attracts the crowd, a weapon, the look that appeals to all genders...

TGC knew Cannonneer would be popular, I bet hearts on it.

I mean, I didn't actually like cannoneer until right before the final quest. Either way, when the final quest is 'save this person', you want players to want to save them

Old message but I felt like there's another explanation for why we can't see SkyCall when we honk in Valley:
It's supposed to represent adulthood. And to me, that's a time in one's life when we're just finding our own path and shaping our future. We pave our own path...
...and so there's no objective in sight.

Now that all the spirits of Performance have been publicly revealed by TGC, does that mean we're allowed to discuss the lore implications of the darkstone guitar ?

I really like that this shows darkstone itself or its use isn't evil, but that its mass production probably was a huge part of the problem.

why did golden wasteland sink down?

  1. Diamond technology caused corruption
  2. Corruption spread (possibly from Eden to the rest of the kingdom)
  3. There was a war??? (Wasteland)
  4. Spirits with unfinished business need our help to ascend - it's not practical that everyone in the kingdom would have had unfinished business, so (this idea was mine)

Ooo I like it

meaning things they wanted to do before they died

frigid tinsel

there's a trope that ghosts of the dead don't want to or can't move onto the afterlife without completing some to-do list of things they wanted to do on the living world before dying

but if the corruption spread why is daylight not affected?

hallow pilot
#

Lol, so some spirit whanted to feel cold before leaving.

hushed steeple
# hallow pilot But what do you mean by unfinished businesses ?

There's this common belief that ghosts are dead people who haven't been able to cross over because there was something in life they couldn't do. So they haunt places and possess people. (These are not my personal beliefs.)
To free ghosts, it becomes the job of the living to find out what the ghost is missing and return it to them - do it for them, etc. And then they can be free of the limbo.

hey fellas im just putting this here since ash seems to have said all the intros that went in live were relevant

hushed steeple
# shadow seal maybe the worlds are the stages that the world went through?

That is also my idea especially based on the Vault cutscene - all the constellations show how a civilization progresses

  1. Isle - finding new land
  2. Prairie - learning to coexist
  3. Forest - using the land to your advantage
  4. Valley - Peak of civilization
  5. Wasteland - civilization falls to war/famine/disaster
  6. Vault - trying to retain knowledge to rebuild and get better, learning from the past
shadow seal
#

i also thought of the same thing

#

also maybe there is a reason the seasons are each in their worlds. like isle has prophcy

rigid mural
#

the realms are associated with stages of life and stages of civilisation yes ! trying to find the picture showing that

sharp lichen

# shadow seal also maybe there is a reason the seasons are each in their worlds. like isle has...

where we cants use our capes to fly. so they didnt know of wl then.then is daylight we have sanc which representing peace bc it was the great start to the civilisation . then in forest assembly was them finding the objects to build with and flight was them learning to use the wl and capes. valley was the peak of their civilisation when they started focusing on entertainment (preformance) and passions (dreams)

#

as the person above me says both a abyss and enchantment show the fall of the world as it crumbles down and krills take over. then the little prince which was in vault might be showing how the spirits left their land just like he left his planet

My lore theory: A long time ago, before the spirits discovered eden, they lived happy lives. Prairie was very peaceful, isle was mostly deserted. Forest had no rain, valley hosted races charging candles for admission and got their food and supplies from wasteland, which was a trading post. Vault was like the community library. Then, they discovered eden. And many moved there. It was paradise for a while; the biggest city they had. The king used the crystal to power everything and his castle was humongous. Then, he got greedy. He used the crystal’s power for his own gain and benefit. However, he was corrupting the crystal as well and soon it blew up. It cast shards of itself all over the realm, blew boulders from their place and started a huge storm. Everything became uninhabitable and the darkness took over the realm. The darkness spread to wasteland, where a huge war was held. Mantas we’re corrupted and turned into krill. Butterflies turned into crabs. The spirits lost the war, but in their last moments, sealed the corrupted realms off, allowing the others to live safely. However, the elders saw a dark future. They called upon the start for help, and the stars sent us. However, minimal amounts of darkness leaked into the other realms, putting crabs into prairie and starting the poison rain in forest. Valley was unaffected, but since they lived on a cold mountain, they got their food from elsewhere (wasteland) and after wasteland collapsed, they starved. Isle was not affected in any way, being the farthest portal from eden. Others tried to restore light, but didn’t make it. So now we have to return their light to them. Every time we go to eden, the crystal’s dark energy drains and it screams in pain. When we ascend spirits, we allow them to return to the stars to have a peaceful afterlife.

shadow seal
#

this is also a very good theory!

rigid mural
#

noticed something about eden, maybe its true state is what we see in the realms, then in hell (red eden with krills) as it gradually breaks down, but what we see in orbit is dreamlike, much like the vault, to give us an idea of what the place looked like in the past

keen shore
#

I have a headcanon that the person we hug in orbit projects the “former” Eden for us as a thank you when we give them their light back. I’m not super willing to declare it as anything close to canon because it’s just a cute/sad thought on my end, but it might be relevant here.
