why no sections for gods? you didnt mention Noxus who created the disortion , what about the abyss? wasnt life almost near extinction when draedon just used the sulphorous sea as his waste bin and wasn't it because of the death of Silva that life in the sea didnt go extinct?
you skipped bosses like providence , the signus , storm weaver , ravager , and the slime god. and , the empress of light of course , the emisarry of the xeroc but still great video
Im incredibly interested where you found this information! I've heard many variations that seem to conflict with this timeline, like yharons egg actually being a gift from his mother, and the casting of them into lava being a punishment for his brothers occult behavior. Also I never heard about the early life of Draedon so I'm very curious where you heard this? Love the video though! This is exactly what ive been looking for.
@@tofudoge6730 Everything you listed in your comment is old lore. The mod's lore was rewritten 2 years ago. Despite that, tons of people still just assume those things are canon.
One thing I've noticed is that after the start of Yharim's crusade (when the Devourer, Draedon, and Calamitas are recruited), we get almost no information about what Yharon was doing the whole time.
@@Midnight_Minute a little theory of mine is that Yharon doesn't like to fight. his dominion is rebirth so probably he is more of a healer the a fighter. so as the other powerful allies joined the crusade he withdrew as much as he could and he would only fight when necessary.
love this video. But i have few things I would like to say. From Draedon we know that he lived for 660 years Which would date the present date to approximately 1,887 years Additionally, we also know that Dreadon join Yharim for 72 years. which means that in ~1875 Calamitas, Dreadon and Permafrost left Yharim we also know that Calamitas was in the Yharim Army for less then 10 years this may mean that she joined in ~1860 to 1865 Also D.O.G could joined Yharim after Calamitas because killing Wall of flesh strengthens Sunken sea. which could mean that the wall has the Essences of the God of Electricity.
@@OMGREALDUMMYFROMDVN I simply wrote that D.O.G was recruited after calamitas join Yharim. because if the Wall of flesh has the essence of the God of Electricity in it, it means that when Calamitas killed the God of Electricity, his essence was locked in the Wall of flesh, which means that D.O.G has not been recruited yet.
maybe dog was recruited after but there is plenty of gods in wof, and it effects like the entire continent not just evil biomes and I doubt wof had slime god for the toxic sludges to form or any of the other weird hardmode creatures So I can see it being either way imo but I personally think calamitas was last to join
Honestly after thinking about it for a while I do think that it's fairly likely that DoG joined after Calamitas (I forgor about the essences being stored in WoF)
there were quite a lot of details that were missed in this... but it was really good! probably the only ACCURATE lore summary video i could point people too that's out right now
Yeah, honestly I tried to get most of the major points so that the video didn’t drag on for like an hour lol (though I’m interested in hearing if I forgot anything major which I probably did)
@@TAD-bu2ciThe only scenario where that'd happen is if the entire writing team leaves and the new writers just randomly decide to retcon it all. Aka astronomically low chance.
This is good, you did well compiling most things we know so far (And I'm just really happy to finally have a good timeline in video form lol, hopefully this will limit the misinformation being spread around). I do have some small gripes but they're not really major so- 1. Genuinely, I recommend making a script for your videos. Even better if it doesn't just say what's on the slideshow word for word. Would also limit the understandable stutter, which would make the video less distracting. 2. Pretty much the only things I'd change are the Astral Infection being moved way later in the timeline as it happens after the Terrarian already shows up. Another one would be making it clear that Yharim was never a hero. His plan from the start was genocide of an entire race of people essencially. That's not hero material, regardless of the motive. Anyway, yes, very good video. Will spread it around.
I disagree with not calling Yharim a Hero. being a hero is subjective, from one perspective he was a hero and from the other he was a traitor. he wanted to kill the gods who were murderers to many. a lot of gods were really evil. of course killing 'good' gods was... not nice. but even after that a lot of people still saw him as a hero. Of course, as I said, it's subjective, so if you disagree with me, that's ok. Oh and one more thing, hejka miło cię tu widzieć :D
@@gaster6670 i don't think that it's necessarily fair to have either standpoint, ultimately he was doing what he felt was necessary, and whether that makes him heroic is up to personal interpretation
Nice vid, man ❤ I've been following your channel for a bit now and it's been fun PS: I hope Calamity expands on Silva, Braelor and Statis. Or even bring back Daedalus. I like the Idea of a full Final Fantasy or Konosuba band of hero's existing before the the Terrarian
It’s been said by lore writers in the discord Daedalus is probably the creator of draedon, braelor will be a npc in the distortion and status will be like a night time travelling merchant with quests and the final one being to kill signus
Calamity is honestly a mod that makes the game feel like its own experience, I would highly recommend (just maybe play with the magic storage mod, you don't want to have to deal with chest organization lol)
learned the whole lore of calamity from your vids, now im playing infernum and the little animations that are in there makes so much sense, i know infernum isnt canon? i think but it maches what you talk about in your videos almost perfectly. i dont understand why the envy of the devour is bringing smth to profaned godesses palace in the right side of hell, but again i dont think infernum is canon so /shrug. In conclusion great vid keep it up bro :)
And then we go into a random year where uhhhh funni crystal ball wants to kill you until 2nd phase where it becomes a literal horror god beyond your compression
I think the implication from the game mechanics is that once an Auric Soul is consumed by a new being, the soul takes on the personality of the new being. Providence returns not as the original diety of flame, but as Providence. I assume were we to fight Xeroc in canon Zeratros wouldn't return, it would be Xeroc. Horrific.
Bit off there but yeah when a soul is consumed it isn’t the auric soul anymore Providence killed the dragon of flame Gods (except silva but that’s due to being a elemental not a god) don’t revive so xeroc wouldn’t come back
I was wondering why it was taking so long for another upload, but now peak has arrived (Also I have a question, is yharim actually a lizhard or is that just old lore)
There isn't really a canon answer, but I would think that Yharim knew that his time with Yharon was coming to an end eventually, and while he would definitely be saddened by Yharon's death, he would find solace in the fact that Yharon will come back some day, even if Yharim doesn't get to see it himself
Ok so I didn’t really bring it up, but due to Yharon’s souls essentially being intertwined with Yharim’s, it essentially greatly lengthens his lifespan (however it is not eternal life, as Draedon tells the player that if you hasn’t emerged now, that yharim probably would’ve died of natural causes before anyone else could fight him)
Yharim is not over 200 years old. Draedon woken up in 1227 and lives for ~660 years so the game takes place in ~1887 Yharon's was reborn in 1781. ~1887 - 1781 =~106 now we don't know how old Yharim was when Yharon's was reborn so... lets say he is about 130 years old
Heya, so you got most of this more or less right, but you missed the fact that the lore items are yharim, the main villain, talking to you, and hes great at lying. He wasnt a fallen hero, he was always a genocidal maniac. We don't actually know if xeroc did anything wrong, and the gods were not all united. Notably, we know the gods that were killed to make the hallow were good, from... A developer statement, I think?
I didn't really want to get too much into Yharim's ethics as I already made a video discussing it, but I do agree that I should've made it more clear that Yharim was contacting you through the lore pieces
Other comments have already mentioned the need for a script, one that doesn't repeat the bullet points, so let's get into a different point of improvement; audio. How do I put this? Your mic is quite ass. If you're making a narration video, getting a better microphone or at least processing your current one to make your voice a little less grating could be the difference between people watching the entire thing, or just skipping through the vid on pause to read the bullet points (admittedly what I did). That's not me making fun or hating, just a genuine point for improvement. Your current mic sounds boxed in with a lot of harsh mid/high-mid frequencies, making it really difficult to listen to you if you combine it with the stutters and the lack of info that wasn't already on the screen. There's no clean lower end so your voice sounds hollow and doesn't have body, and the higher end is nonexistent so your voice has no clarity and air. The dynamic range constantly changing as you get closer and farther from the mic or as you start speaking louder or not, is pretty jarring as well. A bit of compression on your audio track could probably do wonders to make that a little less distracting. There's also inconsistencies in the gain levels of the BGM you use, some being louder and some being quiet. Most notable one would probably be the Deific era segment, but that also may just be the producer side of me noticing smaller, insignificant details that general viewers won't care about Overall, cool video that needed to be made. But I think you could make an even better version that has the improvements the comments pointed out and cram in far more info once you work on your audio. You'd be surprised how long people are willing to listen/watch if you make the audio so good that nobody notices it's been an hour of Calamity lore already
Thank you for the feedback, audio is honestly something I've struggled with quite a bit, and I've had to kind of wing it a lot. It's one of those things where I know that something's wrong, but I'm not experienced enough to know what. Thanks for the comment, I'll be saving it
No? Refights are not canon except for folly (a species not a specific being so it’s not impossible to find another adult) and supreme calamitas refights which is more so a spar
So yeah this took a while... if i got anything wrong feel free to let me know lol

There is the lore doc on the calamity discord but that is a lot of reading
Thanks, it’s something I’ve wanted to make for a while but just got around to finishing. I hope it’ll get at least a few new people into the lore

Also D.O.G could joined Yharim after Calamitas because killing Wall of flesh strengthens Sunken sea.

permafrost left yharim after a while dog was recruited, after which calamitas left too

If you want all the lore there is a document in the calamity discord with literally everything public
This man is absolutely goated
now I’ve officially become a nerd on lore

Domain Expansion: Auric Rebirth
Great video, can’t wait for it all to be retconned in about 6 months give or take
Yeah it happens lmao (the real secret is that means I can make a new video lol)
