I really like the Babylonian inspired lore of the Calamity universe [Betrayal and cannibalizing of benevolent Gods (also similar to the lore of Bleach)]. It's such a human thing to covet the powers of those who only have your best intentions in mind.
I’m very curious, where do I go to read this lore because there’s so much about the calamity mod that I want to know about lore wise and often have a hard time finding helpful videos like this.
I do think to an extent Xeroc is atleast fine for what he did given that it was also a means to end the dragon kings suffering, which is a morally fine thing to do, its not ideal to have to kill something but if the poor thing was suffering till death....might as well end that suffering to leave them at peace, though it could be very questionable whether or not Xeroc should be let off the hook, i definitely feel like he shouldnt be seen AS guilty as most of the other gods like Noxus or Providence who are clearly in it for the power and dont care for others, Xeroc atleast not only became a more powerful god, he also became the gaurdian of the terrariaverse, and despite most instances i do believe Xeroc to atleast be Nigh-Omnipotent, so he would make a fine over arching deity, and one that dorsnt deserve AS much hate as most of the other gods do
I may very easily be wrong, but if you pay close attention to the lore items dropped by bosses, I got the impression that: We, as the character ARE Yharim (far fetched, I know), and that we have awakened after some sort of long slumber. The lore items constantly refer to Yharim as “I”, and it is even mentioned in “The Roar of the Jungle Dragon” that we shall hear his dying roars, and that an enemy awaits us that we cannot defeat. Even saying that our rival stands in his way, I think Yharon may be trying to stop us. Also in the Hive mind lore, it is said that they purely harness the power of gods, while weak ones. If we fight and defeat these “gods” so early on, who’s to say we aren’t just Yharim warming up for what is to come? Another theory I have formed is that we may be Xeroc. In the later parts of the rock’s lore, it seems to reference a goal of time travel. Maybe we are a past Xeroc from the either Past: we are being tested by our future self whom has achieved time travel and come back to prepare us. The rock is a keepsake because it was given to us as a sign of recognition by ourselves Or future: something happened and we were laid to rest, the awakening lore suggests wings and worthiness. Sounds fit for a corrupt god. We, too have achieved time travel and that may even be why we were incapacitated. We now walk a path of bloodshed to reach what we once were, and stop him from doing something horrible. Just vague theories, please share your constructive criticism with me! 🙏
Wait so the souls u get after each boss if Yharim talking to the player? or is it the messages in chat after major bosses are dead like wall, all mech bosses plantera etc?
A person mentioned how I would think towards martians and here’s my answer. They are advanced in tech however they use it for primitive activities like ravaging planets.
Interestingly, enough, when the person absorbs the soul, the resulting God is way more powerful than either individually. In fact, most of the dragons were on the power level of the average normal eidolon wyrm. It’s a whole interesting process and I might make a video on it at some point honestly.
@@tuki9979yeah yharon was probably one of the strongest, yharim would have become god king by absorbing yharon which may have put him above xeroc or close enough for that title
It should be noted that Yharim's crusade wasn't all moral. This is because: - Yharon and Yharim were very okay with committing literal genocide against Gods and their followers, from the very beginning. If Yharim was able to, he'd gladly do it again. - Not all Gods were bad. The two Gods of Ilmeris were actually benevolent and caring, but they were killed nonetheless. - Also, it's war. Inevitably, war crimes will happen.
