World Concepts For Some Secret Discoveries

A while back, I mentioned that I wanted to see Jungle and Ocean discoveries. So... here are some ocean Discoveries + 1 Jungle Discovery I thought of.

Jungle(Only 1):

Spoiler: The Silent Gazer

So this discovery is about the Olm and the Crystals. It is located in the Dernel Jungle, and there will be a temple at -671, -356, and there will be 4 'eyes' that hint towards the location that you must stand on. Once you've stood on that spot for 5 seconds, you will be brought to a cutscene, where beams of light from the 'eyes' join together, and then pierce through the ground, revealing more parts of the ruins of the temple, as well as triggering the Discovery.

Lore:
The Silent Gazer
One of the ancient races that inhabited the Dernel Jungle fled a land of darkness to escape the endless gaze of a creature. While they were all trapped inside various temples, their minds slowly became more and more degraded. They tried to use 4 mysterious artifacts to ward off the shadows, but instead, caused the shadows of insanity to come to them.

There is also a drawing there, depicting the original Olm that united the crystals and showing them destroying the civilization in the Dernel Jungle.

Spoiler: Tomes (Moved to Ancient City)

Originally, I wanted to put these in the discovery, but since TrapinchO said that it could ruin the signs in the city, I decided I would move these tomes to there.

Day 1, Scriptures of Ledama
I have successfully escaped the land of ..... The ... will survive another day.
I have helped to construct a temple that could be used in the future to one day hopefully fight back the force that has ruined our homeland.
As my purpose as a priest, it shall be done.

Day 4, Scriptures of Ledama
Another member of my civilization arrived with 4 crystals of different colors.
The Crystals themselves are emitting a powerful aura near them. I believe these could be used to return to our home, although we have not seen anything like this in the ...... ........
Perhaps it could be used to blind the all-seeing creature.

Day 12, Scriptures of Ledam...
The crystals... They seem to... Be emitting a force... Every time I look at them, I feel like my mind has become touched with power.
I am also slowly beginning to lose my memory. I think my name is Ledam... Ledama?
I had always thought of uniting the Crystals to unlock their full potential, but alas, such a power could... But does the good outweigh the bad?

D#y 24, Scriptures of Le... Crystals...
I have slowly... I need the... begun to obsess over the crystals.
They keep on... I need th... Interfering with my mind and cloud it with the... I NEED IT...
Perhaps such artifacts were not to be uncov... I NEED THEM...

H#l# #e, Scriptures of Crystals...
I must... no... I NEED THEM... no...
UNITE THEM... no... DEATH... no...
POWER... yes... GOD... yes...

Spoiler: The Silent Gazer

Spoiler: Tomes (Moved to Ancient City)

THE EYE OF CRYSTALS... (This is supposed to be random characters)
I NEED IT I NEED IT I NEED IT I NEED IT I NEED IT I NEED IT I NEED IT I NEED IT
I WILL UNITE THE CRYSTALS I WILL UNITE THE CRYSTALS I WILL UNITE THE CRYSTALS
ALL WILL FALL ALL WILL FALL ALL WILL FALL I WILL BECOME GOD.

Note of Fro...
Ledama... He's... He's gone insane... He used the crystals and absorbed their power...
He's no longer one of us... He's now a three-headed beast... He's destroying our home...
It was unwise to bring these crystals here... It has made most of us dead or lunatics...
We weren't being followed by the shadows... We never were...
If anyone reads this, let it be known that these should never-
The rest of the tome is chipped off.

Ocean (Only 3):

Spoiler: Lightless Husks

This discovery is about how the Parasites have spread, yet are easily killed due to barely any light existing in those areas.

To trigger the discovery, go to (-250, -4075) on that island, and in that spot, there will be an endermite. Right-click it and it will die, triggering the discovery.

Lore:
Lightless Husks
The Parasites in Gavel have spread through boats shipping cargo or passengers through Llevigar. However, due to the lack of Light in the other areas where the boats go, they have nothing to leech off of, and essentially starve to death.

Spoiler: Shifting Peaks

This discovery is about how the Colossus can affect the land in the Maro Peaks and east of there as well.

To trigger the discovery, make sure you bring a pickaxe, and there will be a light blue vein to mine from, the resource being called Shining Vein. Once it has been mined, you will experience a mini-earthquake, and then a Miner NPC will run away and hop on a boat to sail away.

Miner: Gah! It's happenin' again!
Miner: Every man fer' themselves!

Lore:
Shifting Peaks
The Canyons in Gavel are affected by an enigmatic, Colossal being. Due to a magical barrier across the mountainous coasts of Gavel, the being itself can still cause the land to shift around it, as well as causing mysterious floating islands to also be seen within the Ocean. However, it cannot cause a massive geological rupture due to the barrier.

Spoiler: Goblin Defectors

Go to the Regular Island, and then talk to the "Human" NPC there.

"Human": Hello gob- I mean… Hoo-man?
“Human”: Welcome to Regoolare I land.
“Human”: What that? You want to enter my baz-men-tuh?
“Human”: No! No one enter my baz-men-tuh!
“Human”: Unless, you have a item for my baz-men-tuh?

To get the item, just kill a "Human" mob on the island, and it will drop. Return to the "Human" with the item.

“Human”: Go away! No enter my baz-men-tuh! Wait…
“Human”: That it! That the item! To tell truth…
Goblin: I am no Hoo-man. I am Goblin from Llevigar Plains.
Goblin: Other goblin want to fight with Orc but I want to live safely!
Goblin: This is sanctuary for peaceful Goblin and Orc, we don’t want war here!
Goblin: Even Villager welcome! So Hoo-man, come down in my baz-men-tuh!

You will then see the Goblin Village, and you will also have permanent access to it, without needing to get the item again.

Lore:
Goblin Defectors
The Orcish War in the Llevigar Plains has had a toll on morale for some Goblins and Orcs. As such, they have made their own boats and sailed all the way from the Llevigar Plains to find an island to call home.

Thoughts on these?

Edit: Also don't mind the 2 spoilers for The Silent Gazer, forum editor bug.

 

Signs in the Ancient City exist.

I think that would be too much. Regular island was supposed to be a secret. ("unofficial")

 

They do, I just kind of wanted to give an insight how one Olm went so insane of the crystals and how they basically doomed the rest of their kind.

Also true, but kind of wanted to give a reason for goblins existing there.

 

There was presumably no "rest of their kind".
And you would ruin the point of the Signs, their practically only reason to exist.
Also the Signs are one of the unique sources of lore (the other being Skien's island signs)

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

By rest of their kind I meant the ones that went to the Ancient City.

Also true for the signs, although idrk how to not ruin the whole point of the discovery while also not ruining the Ancient City signs.

 

I quite doubt that there were many of tuem there after the attacks. (or surviving ones for that matter, we have no idea when they got out.

Simple. Don't create the discovery.
Or you could focus it on the purpose of the temple instead of the Olm themselves.

 

Alright I think I found a compromise for the discovery so it won't ruin the signs in the Ancient City while keeping the discovery:

There will be a drawing depicting the first person to use all 4 of the crystals, and the tomes will be moved to the Ancient City.

 

Feels kinda iffy.
Why would you explore something that is quite well documented, when you could explore a completely unknown area?
