everything you never wanted to know about qilby.
From source: unknown. Probably someone on Plus4chan.
"There are two parts to this: The game Islands of Wakfu and the actual series.
The game takes place some 10,000 years before the series, on another planet. This planet is actually the second planet the Eliatropes inhabited, after their first one was destroyed by mecha aliens called Mechasms. The Eliatropes had a council of six people and six dragons: Yugo/Adamai, Qilby/Shinonome, Glip/Baltazar, Chibi/Grougaloragran, Nora/Efrim and Mina/Faeris. All six of them are immortal, as when they die, their wakfu returns to their dofus, and when both Eliatrope and dragon are dead, and both have returned to their dofus, the wakfu recharging process begins, and when it's complete, the dofus hatches, rebirthing the Eliatrope and dragon.
Moving on, the game starts as everything's just fine, you play as Nora, the youngest of the council. You are told by Mina, the priestess of the Eliatrope council, that you have to prepare for something, bla bla bla, turns out Orgonax, a Mechasm, has found the Eliatropes again. You are soon told by Grougaloragran that Qilby has betrayed his people and killed the king. King Yugo. You see, Chibi, the prophet of the Eliatrope crowned Yugo king, something we learn made Qilby very mad. You are told that Qilby has betrayed his people, and long story short, what happened is basically this: Qilby considered the Eliatrope lifestyle that they had now, that king Yugo has led to live, is wrong, and that there is no goddess Eliatrope, and that Eliatropes are meant to roam for planet to planet, collecting the wakfu they need to power their spaceship Mount Zinit.
They had used it once before to escape their old destroyed homeworld. We also learn that Qilby was performing secret experiments, involving Stasis, the anti-wakfu, essentially death itself. Stasis was forbidden from their new home planet, but Qilby brought it back. Why? We don't know. It's also highly likely that it was Qilby that brought Orgonax to their new homeworld, in an attempt to expose the lie that is the goddess Eliatrope. You give Yugo and Adamai's dofus to Grougaloragran near the end of the game, who takes it and goes to the world of 12, where he guards it until it hatches and the series starts. Over the course of the game, Glip gets killed, Chibi is already dead before the game starts, Mina sacrifices herself, Yugo is killed by Qilby, Qilby we never know where he goes, and Nora sacrifices herself to stop Orgonax from killing the goddess which turns out to be... a flower.
Now when Qilby emerges from the Eliacube in episode 6 of season 2 [of the TV series], he tells Yugo a different story. When he first emerges, he is clearly terrified, screaming NOOO, and trying to escape, until he realizes that Yugo and Adamai have no memory of the past. This is most likely because they lost so much of their wakfu upon death, it took them 10,000 years to be reborn. After recovering a bit, he tells his story, in which he claims that he was king, and Yugo and Adamai were killed by Orgonax after sacrificing themselves, and that all the Eliatropes were killed, except the kids, who were teleported to "a dimension beyond space and time" by their parents, and that Yugo did the same with him. He doesn't mention his experiments, or anything. He then says that they can release the trapped Tropes by getting Qilby's dofus, so they can use that wakfu to reopen the portal and release the Tropes. And that's where we are now.
[In Islands of Wakfu] Nora and Efrim seem to have recently reincarnated and grown to maturity as she and Efrim are still referred to as "children" by everybody and seem to be in the dark as to what a lot of the council members are up to and they keep telling her they wish they could tell her more but she just has to trust them.The type of Eliacube Nora has looks different (you can see the kind of Eliacube from Wakfu within the game) and talks and has an AI which is suspicious that everybody is trying to deceive them but ultimately believes in its owner. Nora rescues 5 children who are probably kids from Les Gardiens that are teleported away by Baltazar to a place where they will supposedly be safe for eternity. It is mentioned that nobody remembers their birth even though these children are younger than everybody else.
You never meet Qilby or Yugo, but you find messages left behind by Qilby explaining some of what he wants to do and asking for forgiveness and understanding. If the messages are to be believed, he really did betray the king because he felt like the king did not want to reclaim all they had lost and would rather run away and stay in a false sanctuary. He felt that the king and that the council were propping up a false goddess to keep everybody placated. He claimed that this was not the original purpose of Eliatropes, that the true way of Wakfu was to travel through the crosmose consuming, that they were not intended to stagnate. He repeatedly claims that he is going to save them and make them see the truth and that only he can truly understand Chibi. Orgonax is referred to as "our enemy", but is implied to have a history with the council that goes beyond mere conflict and to even have once been their ally. It appears to have a personal grudge.
The Lu-Fus are a race whose homeworld was consumed and they are currently working for Orgonax, worshiping him. Although they are referred to as being "shackled", implying they are slaves, they actually appear to have quite a lot of autonomy and seem to feel the Eliatropes deserve what they are getting, although they are not without guilt. It is subtly implied that it may not have been Mechasms but actually Eliatropes who consumed their world's wakfu, possibly to fuel the Zinit spaceship, after which Orgonax found them and offered them a chance to take it all back. The "Goddess Eliatrope" is suspected to not exist by Qilby and the Eliacube, although Eliacube starts to think she is real after Nora survives an assault by Orgonax. While the statue seems to have been a fake by Mina, there is definitely SOMETHING Nora finds where Grougaloragran says the goddess is supposed to save them, although it looks more like a giant plant monster.
Nora defeats Orgonax alone. Chibi was already a soul island, Glip died fighting Lu-Fus, Nora plants Minas soul after she dies helping her reach the sanctuary and Chibi's soul, Yugo was killed by Qilby according to Grougaloragran and Mina, Qilby was missing the entire story and Eliacube comments that there is a rozen (stasis flower) growing where his soul island should be planted. Grougaloragran escapes with Yugo and Adamai's Dofus, Baltazar escapes with the children, Phaeris is never seen, Adamai was presumably killed by Qilby or Shinanome, Shinanome is never mentioned, yet Orgonax is still at large and unharmed.
It appears that if the council did anything, it was make Orgonax break a nail, literally. Efrim blows up the broken nail and their Platypus friend enters Orgonax' hand to sabotage his systems and make him lose his grip on the mountain. Nora then takes the "hand" of the "goddess" and uses her absorption powers to breath in all of its Wakfu, blasting Orgonax with a super version of the goddess song (basically an orbital cannon), the effects of which are not clear other than Orgonax recoiling and an explosion of wakfu streams that can be seen from orbit, the entire planet is bathed in blue energies, and the streams propagate far into space, like the "goddess hair" steams of wakfu which were supposedly a feature of the original Eliatrope homeworld. Maybe this destroyed Orgonax or sealed him or blasted him back into space or something, but it appears to have resuscitated the planet and removed most of the stasis corrupting it."
Things I'd like to know, knowing S02E20 is coming soon:
What is his intent?After the events of the Council of Twelve, it doesn't look like he has a huge love for the races of the World of Twelve or, at the very least, huge faith in them. Last he was around, they didn't even exist (except for that "proto-Sadida race" the copypasta refers to) and it's likely he's feeling a sort of, "we were here first" superiority over them. After he accomplishes what he wants to do, what'll his judgment on the rest of the world be?
Appropriately enough, what does he hope to accomplish? If Islands of Wakfu is to be believed, he believes that the Eliatrope race is meant to bounce from planet to planet, draining wakfu as they go instead of sitting in one place. The sedentary lifestyle the Eliatropes took on is what led to his dissatisfaction. Even in his rendition of the Eliatrope story he told Yugo and Adamai, he said that before they arrived at the World of Twelve they'd done just that -- bounced from planet to planet taking the wakfu they needed to keep going. Does he hope to release the Eliatrope people, indoctrinate them to his philosophy, then take his desired place as king? Where would Yugo fit into all of that? And wouldn't the Eliatropes remember that Qilby killed their king a thousand years before?
