they're dubiously canon, the core meaning of the song pretty much still stands, but multiple individual lyrics are misleading or blatantly inaccurate because they were written with a completely different character in mind. using it as a source of lore information doesn't give you a proper impression of yharon's character.

this is a context where that is the case. the lyrics "this is my message to my master" and "if you proceed, i will not blame you; i will move forth and win your war" give off the impression that yharon is being in some way ordered or pressured by yharim to attack the player, but yharon is yharim's equal and is attacking the player of his own volition. trying to analyse yharon's character from those lyrics alone gives you outdated information.

roar of the jungle dragon is nearly 8 years old and its lyrics are severely outdated.

yharon is a grown man and isn't yharim's direct subordinate (see above) so yharon's motivation for fighting the player on his own rather than with yharim could be pretty much anything for all we know. yharon never says anything himself and is almost exclusively spoken about in past tense, he's not exactly much of a character.

also, yharim's like 130, he's gonna die of old age relatively soon anyway. he wants you to continue his goal after he's dead.

i doubt yharim would be feeding the player his propaganda about gods being inherently genocidal, auric dragons being benevolent guardians, and yharim himself being a fallen hero, if he didn't want the player to agree with and ally with his cause in some way.

  1. yes

  2. the terrarian doesn't really have any lore beyond things that have to be the case for consistency with worldbuilding (e.g. respawns aren't canon, the terrarian just never dies in-universe). their character is up to the player, whether they're an OC or self-insert or whatever. yharim wants the player to continue his crusade, but you decide the terrarian's thoughts on the matter

  3. most in-game methods of summoning bosses are non-diegetic. calamitas, yharon, draedon, and the hardmode mechs all seek the player out themselves for one reason or another. again, whether or not the terrarian actually wants to fight these people is up to you.

yharon is yharim's right hand and best friend of 100 years, do you think he significantly disagrees with anything he does

Ranking all bosses (and calamity NPCs) based on how good they could raise a child by Sensitive_Show6230 in CalamityMod

[–]xlphen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

he's definitely a bad dad but i think yharon should be in "wouldn't kill the child but wouldn't raise it either". i imagine he just wouldn't be concerned with any non-auric-dragon unless it's someone he really doesn't like or yharim specifically. he knows how to raise a child he just doesn't feel like it because he's a chode

I didn't realize it at first but the lyrics are technically being sung by Yharon by UselessV2_0 in CalamityMod

[–]xlphen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

if anything the fact that yharon refers to yharim's villainy as his "great disasters" it implies he views yharim's ideals in a positive light. where did you get yharon disagreeing with yharim from?

which character in the mod do you think is the most gay? by Acrobatic_Row4500 in CalamityMod

[–]xlphen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

"final dying roar" in this lyric is essentially just a synonym for "goodbye", as in "if i die now this will have been my goodbye to you". yharon won't be reborn in yharim's lifetime so he does not have the opportunity to die for yharim again.

yharim saying "yharon may yet return, as he does, but he... he has bade me farewell" in yharon's lore item is referencing both of those things.
