SPOILER Stuff About 1.20

You are right, I missed that part completely.

Now I'm just going to give some pure speculation but if corruption really is not part of the dark and is just a force of chaos, what if in order to destroy the Dern Beast, we somehow convinced Bak'al and his armies to work with us instead of the Beast.

 

do you know where this image is from? would like to know

 

1000 years of the Corruption wars...

Bak'al is evil. Not Evil, just evil. Another bad guy. Don't really count that he will help us

 

out of curiosity do we know what the corrupt realm was before it corrupted ?

 

Similar to Wynn i'd say

 

As @Matteo_Games said, it was presumably the same as Wynn. We are "just another battlefield"

 

Right so there is the Realm of Light, Realm of Darkness/Dern, WynnWorld, the Corrupted realm, do all worlds have gateways to all others or is just wynn special by having both the portal to Rol and Dern?

1000 years ago was the portal opened or merely discovered if so why didn't corruption seep through before. We know the Olm once inhabited the city within SE and we know Se was once like wynn, until darkness came, so does this mean the Portal to Dern just *bang* existed or is it like a gate? Speaking of which, when did the War for the Realms start? when wynn's corruption portal was found, but that cannot be true since we know corruption existed before that within the Corrupt realm.

I don't know any of the new discoveries but why isn't there more corruption in gavel as that is where the (or 1) RoL Gate is? I think Decay has something to do with Darkness, especially since in old Rol Quest line, we know that the northern light forest decayed into the dark forest as Orphion's light began to fade?

I'm confused at where I was even going with this post, help.



Oh and Edit: What about Dead Island. It is corrupted but there are no corrupted spikes that I can remember yet a Dern creature planted an egg or seed there, causing what looks more like decay than corruption? Same goes for Skeins island although I don't think we know if a Dern Creature went there also

 

Wynn is special because it's the (current) battlefield used by the Light and Dark to fight. However, as @TrapinchO said, it might not be the only plane of existence they're fighting in. If that is the case, then the Nether realm might have portals to RoL and Dern too.

The portal opened 1000 years ago and was discovered around the same time. It could be assumed that the portal opened because it was discovered or vice versa. The corruption didn't spread beforehand because the only means of it spreading (the Portal) was not opened yet.

The Realms prey on weak spots in Wynn's plane of existence to open portals. The Darkness opened a portal to Wynn's world in an unspecified time and destroyed the Olmic civilization, so yes, you could say that the Portal to Dern popped into existence, however the circumstances behind its opening may be deeper.

The Dernic Beast says in the Light Forest ultimate that the War of the Realms is endless. The two influential forces most likely fought in other planes of existence besides Wynn's own one. It is just convenient for us to place the beginning of the War of the Realms at 0 AP since that is where most of the stuff began, however there are examples of the Light and Darkness influencing our own plane of existence before that (Eg. the entirety of Gavel, and the invasion of the Silent Expanse)

The Corruption doesn't happen in Gavel because the Light and the Dark never directly fight there. Gavel is a province of Light, Wynn is a province of neither so the corruption happens there when the two influences clash. The Decay and other similar things are caused by the absence of light and the abudance of darkness. The infection of Orphion and the Realm of Light by the hands of the Darkness directly influenced Gavel and created the Decay.

In Dead Island's case, it is indeed more likely that a phenomena similar to the Decay happened instead of the Corruption, yes. I would explain why Skien's Island is corrupted, but that is a VERY long story, that you can read in the wiki when you look up General Skien (Long story short: Skien used to be a general in the Troms army, however he was betrayed by one of his own soldiers that got corrupted. As such Skien failed to protect Troms, went insane and got banished to Skiens Island. The ghost of the corrupted soldier who betrayed him followed him to the island and corrupted him and his island)

 

In 1.20, the Realm of Light, Dern, and the Realm of War(corruption) are all in the same plane of influence. Presumably, all 3 portals/gateways lead to different points on the same plane and allow the realms they lead to to somehow influence the land on the other side.

 

No. There is no "Corrupted" realm. The Nether is not the realm of Corruption, it is a normal world overrun by the Corruption. Mind the difference please

We are just the "current one"

Bevause there was no reason for it. The war started just about 0AP

Yes

Why it couldn't be true? The Corruption existed on another world, so what?

That is a good question.

________________________________

As far as I know the lore states that this is where rich families put their corrupted members.

 

These are conflicting. And also if the war started at 0AP, how come corruption existed beforehand to to corrupt the realm that would become the nether. Corruption is the child of light and darkness clashing so clearly there must have been some sort of conflict prior to 0AP.

Also darkness. The portal to dern was open before 0Ap cause the Olm were destroyed before 0AP by the darkness, so did the war start then but the problem with that is why wasn't there any corruption then since the portal that unleashed the corruption from the nether was opened at 0AP.

Not gonna lie I think the lore might need some refining

________________________________

Cause Light + Darkness = corruption, hence some clash must have taken place before then. (This was meant to be in the message above)

 

The war on Wynn. They presumably thought many wars before. I think this might be more of a wording problem than inconsistency

But it has to clash with Light in order for Corruption to be created. SE is completely isolated area.

We all know that. And I don't think this one is the biggest problem (in the sense of this not being that big)

 

No but why open there, if they were not at war on wynn at this point?

 

I assume that there was a weak spot in reality. And you always want to expand, to spread your influence
