Lore guidelines ["???" spoilers]

If you want your creation to feel like it could happen within the confines of the lore hopefully this will help. There is a consistent and coherent narrative here and I'm digging into it so this will evolve over time. The way ??? (hereby referred to as the void) talks in certain words have their vague translations

Consume = learn/lesson
Effigy/effigies = entity/entities
Sing/ing/song= talk(ing) / communication
Compose = form a story
Vessel = physical body (player)

Scale of measure:
Ripples = tiny actions (inconsequential action(s))
Waves = big actions (significant action(s))

Shore = ?core?
Scripture = structure
Temples = body
Shrine = ?outer shell?
Root = intention/s
Wood = machine
Void = from a different dimension

Windows = A way to view data/items to/from the "void"
Door = A way for an entity to go to/from the "void"

Weave = doing/creating
Threads = done (single)
Tapestry = done/history (collective)

Orchestral = understanding
Consume = learn/lesson
Effigy/effigies = entity/entities
Sing/ing/song= talk(ing) / communication
Compose = form a story
Vessel = physical body (player)

Now; these feel more written as poetry and thus poetic licence, it's less about direct translation and more about understanding the ideas. I've been told writing Japanese is similar in that regard

Maybe you should mark this as a spoiler?

I did not see any options to do that on a phone.

If you surround the text with

I believe, then it'll work.

Oh you meant like that.. I feel like doing that for the entire thing is a little annoying

Fair enough Maybe even just putting something like [SPOILERS] in the title even?

Feels unnecessary, if you're clicking on something called lore guidelines.. idk I think it speaks for itself 🤷‍♂️ I suppose the clarity is worth it. There is quite a broad range of things people could do with these 3 oddities we have now. Dimensional rifts, duplications, transmutation. By all means @me in #ideas-discussion if you want to check how plausible an idea is. Some ideas I could make work with the lore is: - A dimensional depot downloader ✅ - A pocket dimension you can walk in and build inside akin to Factrissimo ✅ - the ability to create more spheres and sloops ❌ (However, a drone could go far outside your sector to bring them from other places)

Harmony = ???

Orchestral tuning: We're in the process of understanding each other Orchestral harmony: We completely understand each other. In this case harmony and tuning are qualifiers to the word that means understanding. I did have to rewrite my notes as they are at my desk and I'm away from that until the 12th 💀 I did miss "compose' Compose = form a story. "Harvest the scripture and compose it into a blood-song" Blood-song Knowledge-communication take our structures and tell us what you learn .. or something in that same realm..the idea is relayed.

For those not afraid of some slight (or major) spoilers, the game translations offer some more insight. Some things from above that I can cast some more insight on (reveal at your own risk): Temples - bodies, but not human ones. Think bigger. Think celestial Shrines - Can mean a place or also artefact Root - Origin, plain and simple. Either in space or in time Bodies, Organs, Bones, Limbs - Think of the mechanical equivalent of that, on a very big scale. A Body is made up of all of these parts, so a body is the complete collective of machines, built structures and transportation infrastructure - a factory Its quite a neat analogy, because a body is pretty much just that - a factory, designed to generate energy, process incoming resources and its components serve a greater purpose

Yeah these are all exactly what I felt them to be.
