Outdated Lore

Over the course of The Legends of Elenia's development and creation processes, there have been many aspects of Legends lore that have since become irrelevant/outdated. This page does not include smaller edits or changes, but rather, catalogs huge or detrimental changes to Legends and the various pieces of lore that it is made of.

Removed/Outdated Concepts
These are aspects of Legends lore that have been entirely removed/deemed non-canon. Though they may share similarities with other articles on the wiki, they are most of the time not related/directly connected.


 * Legends | Legacies: Being the final chapter of the original Legends trilogy, this story would have focused on characters from all timelines, including the likes of Xonoth, the four warriors, and the heroes of the futuristic Elenian society, teaming up to prevent the destruction of their world.


 * Eskalion, The Cursed Realm: Originally, this was where the final chapter of the original Legends story would take place. This realm was a melting pot of the universe, where dead worlds were recycled and mixed with others. Elenia would find it's way into here after Villain's Respite.


 * The Origin and The Entropy: Two beings that represented order and chaos respectively, they were the two most powerful beings in the universe, second only to their creator, The Circle of Legends. They both ended up dying after Xonoth stopped The Circle.


 * The Circle of Legends: The Circle was a godlike being that surpassed all life in existence. It used the souls of worlds to keep itself living, and implemented the rule of The Cataclysms. It was said that it's dreams made up our universe, and that it knew of all futures and pasts to ever occur.


 * Rodwen: The sister moon of Elenia, it was created after the events of Legends | Legacies by Xonoth.


 * Legends | Villain's Respite: Originally being a spin-off, and later becoming an official chapter of the Legends trilogy, Villain's Respite focused on the children of the warriors of Rise of Shadows dealing with the resurgence of Xonoth, who manifested himself in the Digital Plane, allowing himself to take control of the futuristic society of Elenia. This story also focused on the consequences of the actions of all those within Elenia, as the world ended up being consumed by Eskalion in the end.


 * The Digital Plane: A pocket realm tied to Elenia, it was able to conduct signals and energy waves seamlessly, allowing the Elenians to implement it into all technologies within Elenia. Xonoth used this realm to rebuild himself after Rise of Shadows, and brought chaos back to Elenia.


 * Freelancers: Soldiers of Uldren who became integrated into society after Legends | The Shepherd of Fire, they were described as a mix biblical demons and celestial warriors, donning red hoods and possessing fiery eyes.


 * BludGen: Bludling (Haechra) drones genetically modified by the Angelican government, they built themselves off of the stolen DNA of other lifeforms.


 * A.I.: Inhabitants of the Digital Plane, used to assist Elenians with their technologies. Many of these programs were later corrupted and influenced by Xonoth, as time went on.


 * Lesser Gods: Children of the Upper Beings, they recreated the universe after the War of the Gods.


 * The Others: The last survivors of the War of the Gods, this race was originally what Xonoth was said to be, along with other beings found in Eskalion.


 * Sniks: Snake creatures related to the cult horror Snike, they were created when Snike was slashed open during Rise of Shadows.

Why were these concepts removed?
"'Much of Legends lore has been changed since it was created. Many of these things were simple fixes or tweaks to existing concepts, which allowed us to distance ourselves from the original source material (Terraria) and have our own, unique thing. Other times, the concepts were too convoluted or silly to take seriously, such as Eric Kadian's last name being my own, McCray (Which was done out of a lack of creativity), or the idea that Legends was a part of a universal cycle of destruction and reconstruction run by a literal circle. And while the ideas that were eventually removed had some merit, and had originality, they were ultimately ideas that were better off separated from official canon. Some of these have the possibility of returning someday, but they will most likely stay in the vault and collect dust.' -Alex, a.k.a. iCobrettii"

Significantly/Retroactively Changed Concepts
These are aspects of Legends lore that are still a part of canon, but have since been drastically changed to better suit the current story, or even have been completely altered into something new.


 * Xonoth: Xonoth is the oldest villain in Legends lore, both in canon and in reality. He was the first villain to have been introduced when Legends was just a Terraria RP, and because of this, has had the most alterations made. Originally being the leader of the Brotherhood of the Void, Xonoth was not only the Great War legend, Eric McCray (Now Eric Kadian), but also an ancient entity born from The Upper Beings, possessing the broken body of the Void Warrior. Along with this, when Villain's Respite was still considered canon, Xonoth was a computer virus that began to affect Neo-Elenia's cyber systems. After a while, his character was examined and split into two separate characters, that being Xonothikalius, the Void god, and The Visigor, devoted warrior of the Brotherhood, and son to Eric Kadian. This was done to solidify the type of character Xonoth was becoming, while also paying homage to what he was supposed to be.


 * Terraria Continuity: Legends originally was founded as a Terraria story, made during the 1.3 update's launch. Some of the characters were the same, and the basic concept was also very similar, but Legends at this point was not different than Terraria. Things like Vakmu or Celrious didn't exist at the time, they were still called The Eye of Cthulhu and the Moon Lord. When the first few roleplays came out afterwards, some more of the recognizable characters were introduced, but the story still wasn't separate. It was only until iCobrettii (who went under the username Lunatinatical at the time) was banned, that time was spent on making something different than Terraria, and separating Legends and it's source material began. Terraria's influence on the lore can still be felt to this day, and it's something that will always be a part of Legends
