    The theory about the player being evil would sound true if the Dryad wasn’t supporting you in your battle against the squid god and if the Guide never stated that the lanterns in the sky are people celebrating your victory against a boss

    I would say the final theory is pretty wrong. Terraria's lore states "Cthulhu sought to bring about destruction and domination, before an ancient race of Dryads waged war against it and crippled it by ripping out its organs. Cthulhu then retreated to the Moon to heal and prepare for its next attack." And due to the Engineer's quotes the Lunatic Cultist wanted to heal Cthulhu by making mechanical parts aka the 3 mechanical bosses. So we saved Terraria by killing Cthulhu. Also Redigit, the owner of Terraria, stated that Moonlord is Cthulhu. Meaning we are the heroes saving Terraria. As for why the lihzahrds attack you that is simple. They are acting out of fear. In the end credits we see the Witch Docter and Princess make peace with a few lihzahrds. The Pillars could be a seal on Cthulhu made by the Dryads. This could be confirmed because when you kill Lunatic Cultist's followers he shatters a Celestial Sigil, interestingly the sigil has none of the Pillars' dust that we need to summon him. However we aren't evil for killing the Pillars. Their Bestiary states them as "terrifying tyrants". There will most likely be ANOTHER last update (Who knows if it is really the final one) and we might get more lore from it. Who knows.

    • @silverstorm9561

      half-incorrect actually about the pillars, ill use the solar pillar's bestiary entry as an example: "Representing a flaming celestial event known as 'solar flares', this tower holds the seal locking away a terrifying tyrant." no where has it ever stated that the pillars themselves are the tyrants. it's directly referring to them sealing the squid god away, but true that the player isn't evil for doing so, the only reason they have to be destroyed is so the player can officially destroy the squid god since the dryads couldn't prior to the events of the game!

    But the game also refers to things like the eye of cthulu as an "evil presence" and the moon lord as "impending doom" so then wouldn't we seemingly be doing the right thing by removing them? Also when we kill plantera the spread of what we know as the "evil biomes" halves so knowing that these biomes are cursed and evil aren't we doing the right thing by removing plantera? The old man who has been cursed by skeletron insists that we remove his curse and kill skeletron and the dryad is insistent that we cleanse the corruption/crimson so I do think in some circumstances we're being the hero we were meant to be.
    And maybe the reason we can't leave is because it's like a dark souls scenario where you have been chosen to be the one to cleanse the evil from that world and you're binded to that plane of existence well the others are not

    I always believed that the reason you can only fight the cultist after Golem is because Golem is somehow connected to the sun, explaining the sun-related abilities and drops. While this would not make sense bc the empress of light should be this sun god, keep in mind the empress is stated to be a tyrant controlling the hallowed forces, so while its not controlling light itself its controlling forces of light. Anyway, back to golem, the process of killing him causes the cultist to spawn because you “killed the sun” in a way, which is why the “lunatic” culstist summons the “lunar” pillars and then the “moon” lord, because now all thats left in power is the moon.

    Alright, my own theory:
    So we already know that the entire Terraria world is much bigger than the small little island we spawn on. So why can't we go outside it?
    Here's what i think:
    *We are not supposed to. For we are the guardian that was tasked with the mission to protect the entire world from the outer/evil forces. And the island we're spawn on is the beacon where the world attracts these forces the most.*
    Let me elaborate: Eyes of Cthulu, Brain of Cthulu, Eater of Worlds, Skeletron, and all of their mechanical forms, were spawn on this island, through the many weird phenomena happening such as the corruption, the crimson, or the many experiment of the cult. These are all forces that threaten the balance of the world. And it did, however it was stopped by the dryads, and possibly a lot of others that we might not know about, but even after they stopped it, it never truly died, and will keeps growing by the day, while the defenders of the world was absolutely crippled after the war. So someone have to come up with a solution.
    That solution was us. We were created somehow, maybe normal birth, artifical, magic? Who knows, and it doesn't matter. What matters is that we were created as a weapon, a guardian to defend the world *at any cost*. Which means that we are allowed to do anything, as long as we can stopped these forces from spreading across the land, through the sea and making it out to the bigger world, whether it's giant monsters, aliens, funny pumpkin, or Cthulu, lord of the Moons. These are all to be exterminated the moment they went out of control, no matter what. Getting equipment, invasing habitats, murdering creatures are all to serves this one purpose. We are the guardian that ultimately serves to defend the world, even if it means cutting losses and making sacrifice. And this also explained why we can't leave the island, this area is our jurisdiction. We aren't allowed to just leave it.
    The best example i can think of, is the Moon Lord. Think about it, if we really are doing the best for our world, why the fuck are we summoning an outer evil moon god? *Because if we doesn't, someone else will eventually. And their version of the Moon Lord is going to be much more dangerous than the one we fought.* Why am i so sure about this? Because the Moon Lord we fought is clearly incompleted, half of its body is missing, only the ribcage remain of the lower body, it's brain was exposed out in the wind, arms barely able to move... Which means that we didn't help summoning it, but rather, rushed the process by killing the cult members, so that it was crippled on summoned, and much more efficent to kill. That is an act of a guardian, willing to take the most optimized route to protect the world, no matter how unethical it may seems. We are not the good guy, we are not the bad guy, we are just someone with a mission, doing what we deem are for the best.

    But in my opinion, what happened must have been something less extreme, maybe that the world were messed up by Chuthulu and that the people got or cursed, under his control or unafected, then, the people that survived became objectives of the _Cultists_ and maddened people.
    The people got so mad that they became skeleton or were affected by things like Zombification easily, so then...
    The cultists basically workshipped Chuthulu and I think that maybe the corruption is a plague made by him, maybe a way to wipe out the life and get the planet for itself, being his choice what we make in the start.
    Cancer to kill all life, or a parasite to asimilate it all.
    Then, whith that said, it makes sense that the civilations of "terraria" survived, and then the corruptions we se are thr over concentrated corruption that refuses to die aganist the forces of nature, then in hardmode it expands thanks to the souls, being able to resist the pressure again and creating the hallow indirectly as an overload of light made by the sudden absence of shadows absorbed by the sick lands.
    The terrarian just does not have a resason or meddium to leave his homeland, that is all
    And maybe after the moonlord, then, maybe, things like Lycans afected by the moon got mad as well because of its influence, being the reason of why they attack you and why they seem to be corrupted even if the terrarian can control themself, being that they got it naturally instead of using a magical item, so they become vulnerable to the Moonlord.

    I really like this theory and wish that terraria rolled with it in future updates leaving more hints. also I think it would be cool if after dyeing to the moonlord instead of saying you were slain it said something like "what are you doing!?" or "This wasn't meant to happen...". I think this would bring a lot more realisticness to the gods are testing you theory Idk.

      I don't like this theory due to evidence countering it. The corruption and crimison are considered diseases on the world itself. If not for the terrarian, then Cthulhu would of been healed, and the hallow itself is not only a place where npcs can live but some it's their favorite place to live.

    This is a great theory, other than the fact that the moon lord is literally Cthulhu, an ancient god of destruction who most definitely caused the residents of the dungeon to go mad and as such they kidnap the mechanic to reconstruct Cthulhu's body with robotics. The world is already out of balance when we arrive, the corruption/crimson is already spreading and there are zombies just walking around. If something I said here was wrong feel free to correct me, but I'm about 99.9% sure we are the good guy in Terraria.

    @danolantern6030 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    A few things about this i’d like to say
    1. It is rather interesting to think that the gods could’ve cursed this civilization to go mad,but i don’t really think it’s that. I mean,Cthulhu canonically exists in the Terraria universe,so it might be once Cthulhu,now banished Moon Lord attempting to contact the denizens of the city to help it,but causing most of them to go cuckoo crazy. Even the Old Man,who was unfazed,was struck by the curse to make it him the Dungeon’s Guardian,utilizing a mix of his skeleton and Cthulhu’s skeletal remains.
    2. While the Goblin Tinkerer is a deserter to his own people, it can’t quite be that the Pirate Captain and the Witch Doctor must be so. A loading tip states that Pirates are unpredictable, being why the Captain moved in, and it wouldn’t be out of the question that they fight amongst each other,likely in sorts of ‘clans’. The Witch Doctor may have been playing with strange forces,and it might’ve upset the Lihzahrds,believing their Witch Doctor to be evil. He doesn’t resent them for this, however, knowing what he did, but attacking them out of self defense.
    3. The Moon Lord is Cthulhu. They are not like Minos from Dante’s Inferno,the Judge of Hell. They are Lucifer,the ultimate prisoner of it. We do disrupt quite a few guardians of the world,but we destroy just as many of its evils. We kill the first of the many malices from Cthulhu, the Eye of Cthulhu,whose was his watcher. We slay the culmination of the world’s evils - The Brain of Cthulhu or the World Eater - We defeat the Dungeon Guardian Skeletron,and free the Old Man from their curse. We further terminate the attempts of Cthulhu to ressurect themselves,obliterating the Mechs. We stop the Lunatic Cultist’s rituals,and at the end of the game,after an ultimate ‘immunological response’ from the worlds as the Celestial Pillars,we destroy Cthulhu himself,now a hollow husk of what they were. And we dominate them,turning them into the ultimate tortured of Terraria, a puppet that attempted to defy the gods,and lost. Truly,if we were the evil of Terraria,the gods would’ve smited us long ago.
    Thanks for coming to my Tedtalk,and i’ll see you in the next one.

      Dungeon has evil energy and the skeleton of their god. The curse is because the dryads sealed the moon lord, and they're trying to break that seal and summon him.
      Water is the natural counter to fire, which is shown to be 'good' (makes NPCs happy) and water has been shown to be 'bad' (water candles summon enemies). Water energy is being used just like fire energy in avatar or "Dark" energy in any other show, because it's evil

    While i like the theory it doesnt really explained the dryads and what they stod for. Some of what your saying makes sense but the witch doctor and the lizards not being friendly could just be that they grew up differently since there isnt a way out of the temple exept if you have the key. Where do you get the key? Plantera who most likely made Plantera? The dryads. Stuff like that. Also the line "Be safe, Terraria needs you" could kinda debunk the theory
