Considering how novus can fly and swim, maybe it could be that Novus is canonically dead and is a ghost Warden flying about

[@orinaoz8686]

it's description says it was carrying 2 eggs in it's arms when it was first seen tho so maybe it was able to continue it's species and perhaps live inside of an ice cave?

[@justlacking8984]

I will use this info for more lore I guess

[@xuannguyenthi3720]

So novus probably have water breath when it still alive and he died and become a ghost his breath become cloud

[@flame6836]

also that explains why novus is the only warden completely made out of non living material

[@megeelee]

1:33 heya! For anyone wanting more lore implications, I ventured over to the location when the vira update dropped (Vira update as in the new spider Halloween creature) and when I flew over to it as a gobli, those eye decorations (I call them eye stalks, because essentially that’s what they are) and I saw one eye stalk placed to face those pillars. If this isn’t a hint at something big, I dunno what is. Edit: also, I’m pretty sure that the novus warden statue isn’t a statue at all, but a body, a corpse. If we look at all the other examples, they’re all black and white (not counting the ardor here, though maybe the ardor’s pink glow could hint something further), the novus’s corpse is actually really dulled out, but it’s the default coloration of the novus, this means that the novus is dead, but what’s really interesting is some patterns on the novus is actually still glowing. This could mean a lot, any ideas anyone?

[@potato7777]

Wow

[@Dommymakesturd]

Nice theory, about the novus, i think that glow means it was a glimmer before...? I dont know, i really cant think of anything creative

[@decimalheckery5737]

I dont think it's a novus corpse, but i do feel it may be related to something. I also think its interesting to note that both hellion and novus have time motifs. Novus marks fresh life, the 'starting' of time (lore stated on the wiki) and hellion is labelled as a time lord/ This could imply that, possibly Novus was the previous "time" warden, and that hellion either took over the role, shunning novus in the process, or that the novus tried and failed to usurp hellion as the time deity. If novus marked fresh life, perhaps even life brought back, and hellion (+ garra) represented the passing of time and life, having novus reverse said passing would break the flow of the rest. Ardor and Verdants life and growth were required to keep in balance, but when Novus's life and growth directly attempted to fight against helli and garra's roles, it became troublesome. Alternatively, my theory is that since novus doesnt exactly fit into a singular role (being both all-terrain and having similar power/traits to the other wardens), it's "false" because.. theres no role for it to fill. its an outcast, and with having no purpose, it became false. sorry for the text wall whoopsies

What if it got petrified withen the stone, Medusa style? Maybe a bunch of monsters with the fear ability gathered up and petrified it with fear

[@yolocalfrind._2210]

My theorie about why hellion is chained and why boreals toes are on icicles: about hellion, i think it was chained bc it was really intelligent and it had a limitless power to change time, so maybe it could lower or speed up time. About boreal, i think boreal also could be very intelligent like hellion, and could freeze anything, also these both warden faces look very evil. Like hellion's, it has holes, not eyes, and boreal eyes look really evil. They could have a very powerful and limitless power that other wardens couldnt get and they both got tortured and chained. Also about novus (my theorie about novus is very similar to yours), i also think its a false warden or it also was a really intelligent warden, but it was pretending to be one, it got some warden powers from somewhere like a usuall warden, but novus actually abused its power somehow and discovered, with that power it would seem like a warden, but the other wardens discovered out novus was being fake, and then the others got its legs and its body separated so it couldnt move and tortured him exactly like the boreal and hellion but a little more brutal. And about these pillars, i think theres might be a 7th warden (actually a 6th bc novus is a fake one) and the real 6th one would be revived by ardor bc ardor can give life to anything and everything, also i think 6th one would be a next summer warden or a new winter warden. (This took me 30 mins to write lol)

[@undercookedsalmon]

I mean, according to the devs Hellions are canonically pretty docile

[@MiraidonxKoradonYT]

I believe the boreal shrine statue is holding icicles

[@TheNuggetXD]

Eigion looks more evil than boreal ngl

[@ThomSon_Entertainment3390]

aight here is my theory: novus warden isnt really evil nor mad to the other warden i think the novus was sacrificing itself by unleashing it powerful aura so it can help the creatures being stranded at the middle of the sea and also here are the behavior of the novus "The Novus Warden has the same intelligence levels as the other wardens, usually staying underwater. Solitary, but many creatures like to surround it due to the positive natural aura it emits. It does not have eyes, instead, it uses its extremely long protrusions to ‘see’ the world around it. It is passive most of the time, and only attacks if it faces a real threat. Usually found alone. The way that this creature appeared in Sonaria is completely unknown but, some people believe it came from another planet. Somehow, every time it emerges, it looks completely fresh and untouched, as well as being the most (chronologically) recent warden to be spotted, thus earning the name ‘Novus Warden.' The Novus Warden usually enjoys floating in the water as it uses up less of its magic. Sometimes stranded creatures in the middle of the sea find themselves being carried to shore by the Novus Warden. The Novus Warden is a species capable of feeling emotion. Their aura changes completely when in a bad temper, making those too close to it feel uneasy. The Novus Warden can laugh." also we can get a little hint from the description "This warden's appearance marks the start of fresh life" also i think the devs add false o novus bc the rocks made the novus and the novus statue is representing its trying to sacrifice its life or resurrecting because of the life/healing aura unleashing by novus thats all owo

[@ThomSon_Entertainment3390]

also you can see novus rocks at the old trade realm if you look at the middle you can see the rock has the mark of novus maybe the old trade realm was suppose to be the novus real placement of statue or novus kingdom

i think the statues are made so smaller creatures protected by wardens can respect and not some kind of imprisionment since there are more than one of each warden novus isn't evil or good it's just a ura who really wants to be a warden and probably kept the REAL sixth warden (likely aquatic) underwater by telling lies of how dangerous land is and the healing can be explained by cloud breath healing 1% hp every tick the "aura" is simply the ura's passive heal ability somewhat weakened by the layers of material covering it and it turning from direct healing to a feel good aura

[@jonellebirmingham2486]

To be honest it was really nerve wracking to see novus in chains. I literally got goosebumps. But what I think is, due to the appearance of the mystery pillars and how they are hidden by the cliff is BECAUSE that it once belonged to novus? Maybe novus was dethroned for betraying the council of the wardens and instead of being sentenced to death like Garra wanted, it was chained down and was deemed a false warden.

Btw, Im working on a 2nd part video of this theory! I will mostly talk about the new room full of warden mask and needles (and,, maybe new warden theory as well!) Stay tuned for that Update : The video is done!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqPVlIB5rtyYnK8

[@atharhere3025]

i have a theory for the plates, maybe the plates resemble how each of the elder wardens die. first gara (tablet translation was death) came and plagued the land with death and destruction, so ardor (life) had to give his life to give all other sonarian creatures the strength to keep living, and verdant (growth) gave its life source for the fertility of the land (with that star thing its holding in the statue) and hellion (time lord) bide time for both of those wardens and were captured by gara and imprisond untill it died of starvation. And boreal (freeze) chose to fight gara head on but lost and was freezed to death by gara. and gara was executed for bringing death. so there u go. gara died for bringing DEATH, ardor gave LIFE, verdant gave GROWTH, hellion bide their TIME, boreal FROZE. oh an beafore gara was discoverd, the other wardens thought novus (false) was the culprit, because novus was the only one not effected and novus is so mysterius and always apear to be fresh, even thought other creatures was struggling to live, so novus was imprisoned and left to die, so novus died because of a FALSE acusation

[@beeeeeeeeeeg]

so smart :O

[@girlpoweripadgaming4416]

unlikely since garra's statue seems to be normal and you can't really assume novus just "died" because there is more than one of each warden (we know this because the devs stated hellion is a great parent meaning their capable of reproduction) garra i see is a warden that guides lost souls into the afterlife and those who died peacefully and are still respected by their loved ones are reborn and zhelijen (information gotten from COS wiki)

[@Sleepy_sky]

that makes so much sense

[@Blizghtmon.]

thats a good theory on Novus honestly and the whole thing.

[@girlpoweripadgaming4416]

my theory is novus is a ura pretending to be a warden (notice they both can fly without wings, both have an active ability water gale that no other creature has and are both all terrain) the sixth warden might have been aquatic and since novus is the only warden we know who can swim it could have convinced the lonely aquatic warden to come on land and use its water gale to confuse it so it couldn't get back underwater and would die of beaching the other wardens found out and destroyed novus's statue so creatures started seeing it as an "outcast" and hat explains why novus are portrayed as "shy" and "rare" and "always seem to come back recovered (they've been used to getting mocked and learned to easily recover from it) potentially the aquatic wardens live deeeeep underwater and novus has tricked the other wardens into thinking it's the new warden since only it has access to the aquatic wardens and could have convinced them that land is scary and deadly and might have even killed one by beaching to prove it the fact that novus has no facial features besides a mouth can also point to it being a ura using rocks and materials to disguise itself also there are more than one of each warden so novus couldn't have just "died" since we have to view each warden as a species novus may also have not protected smaller creatures much as they are all busy keeping other creatures from knowing the existence of the aquatic warden and isn't afraid to kill them to do so which raised suspicions by other wardens

[@holycrusader3119]

ura and novus have 0 design similarities, you could litterally claim ura is a norskog in a suit because they both fly without wings.

I have theories for all of them in the video Novus: novus was a co leader in the wardens until a creature reported the leader died now he became the leader but he started lying about everything like “we have enough food” or “we will need new wardens” but the other wardens noticed his lies and chained him up under water leaving him to drown or die UNTIL they found out a creature told him all of his lies and the warden checked on him he already was ded so they pitted the gold thingy writing “FALSE” as it was a false death Garra: the death god like hades he was the most powerful warden until hellion beat him in combat now he ventures alone not with the other wardens for food he kill a lot of kens or other big creatures making them nearly extinct as he ventures farther he found a cave and stayed in as the volcano erupted when he tries to get out the cave got closed in by a Boulder he stayed in with no lights,food or water making him die,as the other wardens saw his ded body they write “death” as he was the death god Ardor: ardor a life god whom give life’s to plants,flowers he loved but when the volcano erupt killing all the plants he tried to revive them but making him weaker and weaker every 100 plant he did until he gone weak and lay down a bit eating trying to get its energy back ardor ded by his sicknes the warden granted him the gold plate and write “life” as he was a life god *plot twist the thingy on their stones was the date they ded*

The wiki says there is more than one of each warden and Novus has the warden rage, it was definitely a warden also the statue was made of stone and the horns of it fell off so it was a statue the false could mean anything.

I know i got future site, but i think novus is simply a creation of the angelic warden, i think it took pity on a fallen creature so it took whats left of it body and crafted it into a honorary warden, this explains the many stoney formations and the sowing of its mask, and i believe that explains the powers it has, like for example being able to warp the atmosphere around it is because of the fact it is technically a soul, and the fact that the limbs are held together by energy

[@lil_axolotl1285]

What if the 6th warden is acctually the 7th and it is coming in the future? What if the lore is that said 7th warden is on the loose after killing the rest of the wardens with some sort of a breath that freezes creatures in stone, and kidnapped the other wardens, slowly killing them with its breath, torturing them, keeping them in a prison, and Novus escaped, but died from being too consumed of the stone while on its way to try and save Hellion, and it fell into the water, and creatures never saw it again? The "Fake" For the novus warden might mean it could tell lies from truth as a power, like how "time" is for hellion, and its in the time gacha.

[@dukieeee4600]

So here's my theory: This is based on the last part of your video, I researched what Novus actually meant, there are 2 things I discovered, 1 in latin word it says "Free", "New" meaning it could be the representation of Novus being the new warden, at least it was the last warden to release if I'm not wrong, however the scary part is the second one that I discovered, "Novus" is a long tribe known for its "dirty tricks" meaning they're decievers or liars in order to survive. At first I doubt my researchings but after I finished your video, they do really connect.

[@dukieeee4600]

If I'm right, Novus wasn't meant to be a Warden, I think there are certain creatures that can get the title of a Warden and Novus wasn't selected, but for some reason the Novus was released as a Warden, the pillar that you saw was probably meant for the Novus Warden, and as the mystery began to open, they removed the Novus Statue and threw it in the water where it cannot be seen... My perspective.

[@INTHISSILENCEIBELIVEEEEE]

hi! i ahve some lore for ya! theory: boreal, hellion, and novus where framed by one, more powerfull, and honestly petty warden. one is a flier. one is aquatic. these two wardens are suprizingly mates, (flier being mother, sea being father) one was loyal, and the other wasent. sea was not loyal. he left his mate, (the flier) to reside in a petty, and quite shamefull place, (hence why theres a GIANT skull at the end of the dunes pond tunnel) and was sadly invaded by tiny parasites, who took advantage of his seasion long sleep and ate him from the inside out. and flyer had just given birth to *Boreal warden* *Verdant warden* *Ardor warden* *Hellion warden* and *novus warden* . flyer cherished these beings while they where babies, and let them go once they became juvinile and have learned how to walk, talk, and various other things a baby could not do, they where released by what seasion they looked like. boreal was released at winter, verdant released at spring, novus released under a rainbow (since their flyer, aquatic, and land.) garra warden released at autumn, ardor warden at cherry blossom , hellion released at summer, so flyer went to go find food, but she starved to death whilst looking for the food she needed. *i'll give more lore when i have more info*

[@creaturesofsonaria5039]

My Theory (WARNING: THIS THEORY IS NOT BASED OFF OF WHAT THE STONES SAY, THIS IS BASED OFF THE WAY THE STATUES LOOK) - Maybe Novus warden was an accident made by the "Gods" of Sonaria. When it came to Sonaria, the other wardens hated it. Execpt Boreal and Hellion. The other wardens thought it was discusting. When they chained the Novus up, the lake wasn't full of water. But over time water filled the hole. While it was slowly filling, Hellion and Boreal had tried to help it, but one day they both got caught bringing it out of the hole. As a punishiment, they locked them all up in their own territories. They made their life hell, until the wardens decided they had their fun, and turned them to stone. The "Gods" of Sonaria were angry that the other wardens killed their creations. So they also got sent to their terriories, and got turned to stone.

Maybe ura was the actual sixth warden?! Here me out… (PLS NOTE: This was when sonaria was maybe young and some wardens were still new)) Maybe Novus was some other duller species and grew envy of the other wardens for having such divine power so it might’ve cleverly killed the 6th warden (aka the ura) and managed to steal its powers and abilities. Although, some of the more powerful powers like uras passive heal didn’t quite come to fit with Novus so all it can admit is a divine aura. You might be wondering abt the other wardens, well both ura and novus stays in the water and rarely come out so maybe the other wardens couldn’t find out bc ura is always underwater (lol that doesnt mean they know uras existence)). So i believe one of the wardens realized the truth and lured the novus out of the water and destroyed it as well as its shrine.

No only wardens can have wardens rage and again it's said that whenever novus appears it's a sign that new life appears it's aura helps things to flourish and no there is nothing suggesting novus is always underwater from what I have seen the game is practically implying that novus rarely appears literally anywhere. Novus is a warden and an interesting thing is novus is linked with magic and life force the only creature to be confirmed with "magical" ability as I quote "The novus warden is a large majestic beast bound by incredible life force and magic, so strong it's aura sometimes help the elements around it to flourish."

[@EA_GAMES]

Also does this scream "evil" "dull" or "envious" to you? The Novus Warden has the same intelligence levels as the other wardens, usually staying underwater. Solitary, but many creatures like to surround it due to the positive natural aura it emits. It does not have eyes and instead uses its extremely long protrusions to ‘see’ the world around it. The Novus Warden is usually found alone, passive most of the time, and only attacks if it faces a real threat. The way that this creature appeared in Sonaria is completely unknown but, some people believe it came from another planet. Somehow, every time it emerges, it looks completely fresh and untouched, as well as being the most (chronologically) recent warden to be spotted, thus earning the name 'Novus Warden'. The Novus Warden usually enjoys floating in the water as it uses up less of its magic. Sometimes stranded creatures in the middle of the sea find themselves being carried to shore by the Novus Warden. The Novus Warden is a species capable of feeling emotion. Their aura changes completely when in a bad temper, making those too close to it feel uneasy. The Novus Warden can laugh.

i think cos developers are trying to give us a hint of the lore and i think novus is a false warden because he even doesn't have a number but why is heliion number is weird you well realize that both hellion and novus dont have numbers and they are the only 2 warden that we see chains on them don't have a number maybe novus like you said wasn't real warden but what does that mean and hellion maybe he just did something outlaw so they chained it or maybe novus chained hellion to pretend that he is the fifth warden and removed his number and he was later got punished

[@girlpoweripadgaming4416]

hellion likely has a false number because it's in the time gacha and time is portrayed in numbers a lot so hellion might have changed the number to pretend to be the first warden sort of a weird flex and wardens are to be viewed as a species and not an individual

[@pujarrannaghor9237]

Considering it's the only that after novus were the EIGION and Angelic wardens which were probably used as a less powerful version of novus as novus could swim and fly so they separated the jobs to different wardens as without novus the air and the sea was left without and governing

[@seankennethleblanc6235]

well thx for traumatizinmg me with pokemon music

[@WotahMeow]

Yipee

[@KamsSketch]

I cant wait to see haw things will turn out. Also my Novus sp is gliched, evry st i make is with sit/lay/eat/drink animations going in the graund, and idk haw to fix it... Do you have any idea what i can do abaut it?

[@WotahMeow]

Nope thats a bug that the devs havent fix so

[@KamsSketch]

@@WotahMeow I gess i have to wait... A lot Tnx for telling me

[@royanisenen2251]

The novus statue might be moved by the other wardens to the fliers playground and novus once was at the pillar place where theres no warden

[@nelakolaric2970]

i just realised the owl. it has pillars on itself and has the floating thing on the forehead that every warden had. i dont know if this is meaning something but just pointing it out

[@Codizo]

My theory is, that hellion was chained up for killing the last warden, and hellion lied and falsely accused Novus. Other wardens believed him and accused Novus of killing the last warden, but the "Warden Creator" was against it. He chained up Hellions statue, while the other wardens destroyed Novuses statue in the water. After the warden creator chained up Hellion, everyone was against him, killing him. Or another theory which is less likely to be true. This time it's Novus who's the bad guy. He wanted fame and power, and when he found the secret "Vault" or "Room" thingy with all the Wardens masks, he threatened the warden creator with the "I will tell everyone" card. He was given a mask too, but a weak one since power can be created by goodness. He attempted to make him stronger and limit hellions power by chaining up hellions statue. He was killed by the wardens too late. He has killed the warden creator and all of the wardens sweared they would do very bad things to his kind. They destroyed his statue, thus making him untradable and sealed into the sonarian world and not free to explore the trade realm.

[@FuryLightNight]

2:10 maybe this theory is right bc the new warden is coming and his name is angelic warden maye the angelic come back from death

[@misoso1805]

theory: guardian war between life and death and it could be said that perhaps the novus is like lucifer, betraying god (the most powerful being in this boreal case, the greatest, most feared and powerful guardian) starting a fight between the sides, life and death falling like this is a leader (novus) and following peace among the remaining guardians

[@onepenny001]

I was thinking a little similar about the fact the novus murdered a warden. It could have hid the body somewhere

[@liampillay7889]

There might be a god or some sort of a smart warden trying to kill other wardens

[@karl7699]

Angelic warden go brrrrr

[@xianezekielfrio8753]

Maybe novus lost his “warden” title and was chained underwater and couldn’t escape without food for 72 years so he lost his glow and electricity

[@xianezekielfrio8753]

Thats why novus is rarely seen in oasis

[@finnedreaper7069]

Wardens are a species not a singular animal so it couldn't lose its title as warden

[@royanisenen2251]

Boreal statue looks like its being totured and hellion statue seems to be chained and prisoned and novus statue it looks like its body is torn apart

[@dragcond2859]

My theory that, due to the new warden mask cave, the novus mask is stiched together, I think that the wardens made the novus protect against the migraiting creatures from Daimona, but it failed so they sentenced it to death, for not doing its job and leting creatures like the Sar hingaro come to sonaria, and even more maybe the sar, and other posible creatures from Daimona enprisoned the other wardens, for not letting them come to a safe world like sonaria, and tryng to block the portal.

[@zlypes4287]

the biggest what if in history💀

[@orinaoz8686]

hey meow u should check out the warden mask cave

[@BoneSeekerTheRainWing]

I looked up the definition for the word "Novus" and I got: New Fresh Young Unusual Extraordinary A new succession of ages ???

[@silverfutureboy9405]

Perhaps the Novus will be reborn as the new warden?

[@LzeniX]

Novus may not born as warden but later become one which make it diffrent

[@KitkAt366]

And now...whats up from the Angelic Warden?...

[@rev474]

I believe that hellion was chained up for hurting novus and Garra punished both of them, to be chained up and starved, ardor was the first to give the stars life, from a star the first aeries was born, verdant grew that aer.

[@herrscher_of_f2p560]

I think the warden that Novus killed off, (Aka the actual 6th warden) is the warden of the ocean. If you think about it all the wardens (except Novus) represent a biome, Garra - Volcano, Ardor - Swamp, Verdant - redwoods & Flower dome, Boreal - Tundra, and Hellion - Desert. If the ocean warden was released I think it would be named, The Okeanos Warden.

[@silversoulfox3610]

this might sound wrongly as i tried to guess what could this mean, im guessing that this new type of warden of all wardens nor creature of sonarians, could be a puppeteer of the Wardens, hence we all did saw there's Needles around the area and the skeleton holding it, what really also confused me, is the Gate, i know it just a ancient relic symbol on the Gate, but it kinda shows like a Sun or maybe a face of a creature or warden we do not know, what makes me feel uncomfortable is, other statues are chained, possibly "Studying" or trying to take their forms or maybe take their abilities or powers.

[@Kikiasamm_cos]

I have a theory about wardens, so there is a secret warden cave it has all the warden masks and there is a Verdant arm in the bush next. To the verdant mask so what if the wardens made the Zochoo and Fluti? Because they look like they where stitched together.

[@flabungon2235]

Garra is might be like close to Aid, the god of death kingdom

[@Dazlor05]

Interesting...

[@Chofurkey]

Novus themself trapped the other wardens, tortured, but kept them alive. They then got sick and tired of being alone, no company, no nothing, the sonarian creatures hated novus at this point, they knew what novus did, the scrapped models for creatures? Those, they went extinct trying to contain the novus, but finnaly the novus surrendered and ended up in the water, improsined, and dead.

[@Iam_WhoIs]

remember when people had a theory that athulyth was a fallen warden? i wont elaborate
