Wind: Nomadic people are those who love wind. They are born of change and circumstance. Their worst enemy is the jailor of restriction. Seldom seen with restricting clothes, they like to move as they please. Messages pass their hands many times a day, and they love to be the bearer of news: whether good or bad, gossip or fun. They are desert people: hearts of sand and time, ever changing, always different. They are late-night pitstop people: gas station spirits and moonlight souls. People of change, people of destiny, people of drive.
Rain: Gentle souls. Instead of being in constant state of growth like most people, they are in a constant state of settling into themselves. Their presence is a calming one, even if they are not calm within themselves. They create effortlessly, ideas always flowing from them when they are present. When ideas are not present, the drought comes: not a drought of dehydration, but a drought of inspiration. When this drought comes, the people of rain have nothing to offer. All creativity is gone, all motive is lost. That is, until it rains again. A mysterious people, are those made of rain.
Thunder: Thunderous people can often be too loud, too much, and too frightening to those who do not understand them. Their anger holds the power of the earth, and heaven forbid you should see one cry. While they may shout and laugh, and be the greatest presence in the room, their loudness does not reflect who they are. Stormy emotion is their way to be heard, even if it isn’t the way they are best understood. You do not know a person of thunder, until you have studied while one slept next to you, or watched from a distance as they created something. You can hold no judgement to their stormy hearts until you take the time to know one. And should you manage to befriend one, you will find a strange sense of ancientness in their mannerisms. In the way they look off into the distance when they think nobody is watching, in how their art reflects people and places that no longer exist, in how they breathe so steadily beside you, as if they are meant to live forever.
Hail: Just like that embarrassing thing that happened to you in second grade, just like a memory that fills you with nostalgia at odd hours of the night, so hail people only appear in the moments before you fall asleep. They are beautiful in person, yes, but it is not until you have a time to ponder their beauty that you begin to see how incredible they truly are. Buffeted by wind, thrust up into the sky over and over again, their hearts have hardened to ice. But ice can melt; that is apparent with people of this kind. Give them a warm touch, and a kind eye. They will melt, and it will be beautiful.
Snow: Falling slowly, falling beautifully. People of snow are quiet and sad, but there is beauty in it. They drift downward, decorating the world with beauty as they go. You don’t see them much, since they’re quiet and rarely around. But it isn’t until they go missing that you realize how much they’ve impacted your life. They have an odd habit of making everything seem alright. When they speak, it is as if all the world is silent around them. You can never quite describe it, but they have a gentle peace about them: as if they know they are quickly failing, and are content with darkness that will approach. I’m sorry if you’ve ever held one’s hand, because there is no falling out of love with them. I’m sorry if you’ve ever heard one sing, because their music will never stop ringing in your ears. They are quiet. They are beautiful. They impact you in small ways, until everything you’re made up of seems to hold a piece of them.
Did this at like 10 in the evening last night
hdjfhwhdjqks so ive finally picked up the brick again and and im nearing the deaths(tm) and my spotify decides right now and then to play empty chairs at empty tables
A bunch of them, actually. Most of them came from the official Sky Discord
This is gonna be long. Very long
The timeline is something like this:
- The Elders (and the "King") fell to the clouds
- The people living in the clouds (the Spirits, they weren't always spirits) found them and made them their leader, 1 for each realm (2 in Valley)
- something happened
-Downfall and Everyone dies (except the Elders)
- Skykids are born
PART 1: THE CONFIRMED CANON
1. The Elders and The King
The 6 falling stars in the beginning cutscene are the Elders
The Elders have known each other before they fell. Elders are always Elders, Skykids will not grow up to be Elders (Elders, Skykids, and Spirits are different species).
"Elders are ancient. We (the devs) do not know if age or gender exists for them."
The Elders are not in their temples right now. Their cutscene takes place outside of time and space, but they affect the world (butterflies fly out of vases after prairie elder cutscene, the door opening after forest elder cutscene, etc.)
Forest and Vault Elders masks look similar because they're related (friends? Siblings?)
The power diamonds (first seen in the forest elder cutscene) is related to the downfall of the civilization.
The King exists. He plays an active role, but the role is different from the Elders. "He is not there to be saved anymore"
2. The Realms
Valley: "Golden Valley is like a downtown of the Sky kingdom. People built a huge city on top of this mountain, using boats to move between places."
"Golden Valley consisted of both rich and poor communities, centered around the theater. They all enjoyed the race that went through the entire city."
Vault: "There are many interesting props we designed for the area. Lots of valuable information was stored with the hope that it would be used by the future generations."
"Not only was this area filled with manmade structures, we also wanted to transition the level into a more magical, dreamier space. So we made it transform into a more organically magical space as you progressively move higher."
PART 2: THE FAN THEORIES (only gonna put 3, tell me if you want more of these)
1. Wasteland War Theory (Two Shields Theory)
In the area before Wasteland Temple, there are two types of shields.
The first one is a circular shield with a sun symbol on it. The second shield is a pentagon shield with a diamond symbol on it.
The battle in Wasteland could be between people who is under the King's control (people who want to use the light inside the power diamonds) and the people who rebels (people who doesn't want to use the power diamonds)
The wasteland elder is using the sun shield in his cutscene, but has the pentagon shield in the vault mural and constellation. He could have changed his side.
2. Eden Diamond Theory (Stormlock Diamond)
In the Stormlock area, there is a big red diamond shooting red light to the sky.
The theory is that the Elders and the King wanted to use the big Eden diamond to go back to the place before the fell (orbit?). Something went wrong and the Eden diamond exploded, killing the citizens (later they become a spirit) and destroying the land.
3. Megabird Mind Control Theory (a crack that refuses to be crack)
Megabird is evil and the Elders are trying to stop the bird.
PART 3: OBSERVATIONS
1. King Statues/Propaganda Statues
2. Elder Information
Some of these may be incorrect (especially the height, since the person who did the height observation looked at the individual cutscene of each Elders and the final cutscene with all of the Elders)
