Landfall being Italy-based makes me think Kingdom is researching a method to pull Venice to the ground.

hence, "land" "fall"

[unkempt forge]

surely the blorbos were initally going to be used to catch venice when it fell back to the ground

https://tenor.com/view/clueless-gif-24395495

[noble zenith]

I'm convinced that the KSEC secure email is definitely from a Ragged Raven

if they bring Tariq back imma be pissed tho

just randomly resurrect him guys it's fine

[raven grove]

[unkempt forge]

I don't think the writers would do that

[unkempt forge]

I was gonna do the red circle around it with the arrow pointing to freddy thing but I was too lazy 💀

[dense pasture]

curious how VP apparently demands their personnel to leave their past life behind, but that doesn't seem to count for Brimstone

[noble zenith]

doesn't seem it applies to most agents nowadays

Neon doesn't seem to count

[elfin bison]

Ofc not, hes the boss

[raven grove]

There seems to be a lot of bias towards agents with Kingdom/K-Sec affiliation keeping most of their past life

[dense pasture]

surely that's Brim's doing

I guess it depends on where the agent has worked before joining/what they did before

[soft trench]

no voicemail this patch? womp womp

[dense pasture]

fr💀

[soft trench]

lack of buildup for new agent makes me think it's gonna be something like gekko where their introduction is revealed AFTER they're in protocol 😅

[elfin bison]

Top tier meme

[dense pasture]

and that makes me sadge

[elfin bison]

Brim is kinda sus to me

[dense pasture]

because so far man I just don't care about Gekko

[noble zenith]

Gekko hasn't had any solid lore that makes him interesting

[elfin bison]

Im still waiting for a reason to have gekko on the team, lore speaking

[noble zenith]

just vague ideas

[raven grove]

All he did was steal pokemon

[dense pasture]

not even his vls are interesting or tell us something

most of them are just kind of... lazy

[steel steeple]

no voicemail is kind of disappointing

[soft trench]

yeahh 😭 part i was looking forward to most

[steel steeple]

ep 7 in a month and no real buildup or anything lore related outside of the patches…. ehh

[dense pasture]

bruh

voicemails are like my favourite thing about patch days

[elfin bison]

I would like them to stop introducing characters and focus on the ones we have

[dense pasture]

yes please

they won't do that, but I'd love them if they did

[noble zenith]

any Skye lore please

please?

no? okay thanks riot

[dense pasture]

also, now that it was Fade's anniversary, that marks an entire year that Sova had any relevancy in lore

[elfin bison]

They should do it, the lore population isnt as big and we all want the same. Gamers dont care about lore so there is literally no need to keep introducing new names

[noble zenith]

KAYOs only relevancy is that his core sucks

😔

[dense pasture]

at least he gets voicemails

I saw that

[raven grove]

https://tenor.com/view/nuh-uh-nuh-gif-25159854

[dense pasture]

what made you change your mind

tell me, don't be shy

[soft trench]

😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭

[raven grove]

i was trying to find evidence that it's been even longer since breach was relevant but i forgor he was also on the strike team

[dense pasture]

as far as I remember he has had at least three voicemails since

[raven grove]

nah but those were like slice of life stuff

[dense pasture]

true

but CONTENT still

[raven grove]

i can see the nephew vmail being somewhat relevant to strengthening brim and breach's relationship tho

[raven grove]

hasnt sova had like

a voicemail

or 2

[dense pasture]

one

[raven grove]

since fade

[dense pasture]

ONE

[raven grove]

oh

[dense pasture]

oh wait

no two nevermind lmaoo

I don't know my lore

but they were both ages ago

[raven grove]

they should introduce valorant lore class into every education system

[soft trench]

only one in the past 2 acts right?

episodes*

i think the one after fade was at the end of episode 4

[dense pasture]

yess

[soft trench]

& then the one about his injury

[dense pasture]

the one about the 'non-life-threatening' injury but at this point I'm sure it was and now he is just

deadge

[soft trench]

LOOOL

[dense pasture]

he got bored of not getting to do anything

[serene pumice]

I keep pretty close tabs on the ATLAS emails, and I can't figure out what it's in reference to. It sounds like a new on-side incident happened, but???

What I mean is. It's clearly not in reference to the initial activation of Lotus. We know that because no one from ATLAS was present from that incident, but for this one, they're suggesting interviewing personnel, aka witnesses to the accident

Given the injuries of a concussion and an amputation of the hand, it sounds like they may have attempted to activate The Nexus and the device retaliated

(I'm assuming concussion leading to a coma, or likewise)

Also hold up. If ATLAS wants to turn on The Nexus and the VL wants to turn it on as well, why don't they just go back and turn it on? Nothing is stopping them, not really

New Lore drop, new thread! Kingdom has been crunching for Project Landfall; They have been working day and night, but seem like that is not enough. They are transferring personnel from different divisions to work on Project Landfall...

Twitter · May 23, 2023, 6:25 PM

[uncut musk]

Gekko buddies were supposed to catch ascent sahaquiel style

[half tapir]

Eva reference

[uncut musk]

[serene pumice]

Hmm. A bit strange that the sender of the most recent email is concerned about the company not being transparent, and that they're surprised to discover a secret facility. We know Fracture was in development for over a year, probably 2 years ago at this point, so K-CORP being secret isn't that new. But they appear to be, perhaps, being more overt with it? Is it perhaps a sign of shader practices, or what?

[buoyant island]

I think it is mainly that as Kingdom's research expands they face more research that needs to classified for various reasons, from political to safety to keeping the rivals out reasons. However, we should also remember Kingdom has had 3 major security breaches in recent years from Yoru's Mask being stolen from Icebox to Fracture being fried and then the Blorbos being stolen. All three were really sensitive research, the parties responsible for either of these incidents have never been found. It does make sense for Kingdom higher ups to become more cagey with information and more paranoid with their newer sensitive projects. Their top priority projects constantly get sabotaged so things are not quite right for them.

[cinder plover]

if most predictions are correct regarding Landfall being about bringing Venice back down, does that not mean a divergence from KAY/O's timeline?

[cinder plover]

I don't think the motivations are the same. VL Astra's knowledge of the activation of Nexus is important to their own cause, given how close she is to the whole Guardians shebang, and I think ATLAS is doing it because monke brain go brr, must turn on big space beam Purely for the sake of experimentation and to prove the reproducibility of the event on Lotus, I mean.

also, it sounds like insubordination rly do go brr at ATLAS they be losing limbs and getting yeeted into a coma and stuff over there

[serene pumice]

Idk if they meant for that tp happen, lol. More like they're in the find out stage of fucking around

[cinder plover]

Yeah
To be fair, this is going from the hypothesis that Astra and ATLAS has different perspective of what Lotus is. That being: ATLAS is working from a scientific trial-and-error method of figuring out the function(s) of the site, and if possible, its historical significance to their reality, while Astra is working off of (I hope) some form of memory or recollection that is inherent for current Guardians.
All that is just fancy schmancy way of saying, Astra might know what Lotus does, but not how it does it, while ATLAS knows how Lotus does its things, but not what those things are for.

It's not like Rito is gonna confirm jack shit here's coping that next PBE has juicy stuff too

[uncut musk]

inb4 it's actually both of them know nothing and they're just touching shit to touch shit

[cinder plover]

Both Delacroix's subordinate and Astra going "Oh hey, a hole" and put their entire forearm in it

(or maybe coworker, who knows, cus the homie is ||REDACTED|| )

But this line makes me think that Astra has that Guardian backstage pass

[serene pumice]

What I wonder though. If ATLAS is trying to activate Lotus, even on accident, why isn't it more of a concern for the VP?

[sacred torrent]

brim is being sneaky .. i dont like it . im also so sad about the lack of actual lore . especially for skye and gekko , pls give us SOMETHING i dont CARE about maxbot anymore

[cinder plover]

hmm ... maybe the C site spike detonation did away with any potential Nexus opening?

combine that with ATLAS swarming Lotus, and it's not exactly happy-go-merry between VL and ATLAS, it's unlikely that something like that would happen again

[uncut musk]

it just kills all the wires 💀

[cinder plover]

damn they really said fuck cable management

[uncut musk]

not with all that overgrowth....

[cinder plover]

good luck untangling it tho

[uncut musk]

the way its literally strangling the main tower

[cinder plover]

oooh kinky i mean what

[uncut musk]

it wasn't here for some

reason

(inconsistancy)

[cinder plover]

✨ Radianite ✨

[uncut musk]

i think the idea is that C site is where most of the power is produced

so they blew it up

[cinder plover]

that's plausible, or it could be where most of the power is stored, either way, good luck turning it on with no radioactive battery

inb4 they just chuck Rad borgirs into C site to replenish tho

[uncut musk]

error needs to wait another several thousand years

[cinder plover]

It's but a comma, compared to the lifetime of the Guardians

[buoyant island]

If it works yeah

[solar bloom]

We do have that tho???

The Omen voicemail about Maxbot no? @steel steeple @soft trench

[soft trench]

yeahh i realized after looking in lore announcements

[solar bloom]

Hell we don't even have confirmation on whether he's radiant or human

[solar bloom]

I see lol

[noble zenith]

Sage has an email where she pretty much wonders aloud if he really is a radiant, because he doesn't fit any of our preconceived notions of being one. He's definitely not a normal human though

[solar bloom]

Which reminds me of yet another basically discontinued story line, radiant classifications

Like pls rito, don't just introduce us to something new and then leave us hanging

[noble zenith]

how are they supposed to siphon content out of their fans if they don't???? smh

[solar bloom]

True

[buoyant island]

I think that voiceline makes it clear that the two Astras do not know exactly the same thing... It is possible that their Astra knows more about what Lotus is about while Alpha Astra knows more about each Artifact individually probably

[buoyant island]

the C Spike detonation imo definitely removed some of the needed amount of Radianite needed to power up the Nexus

[buoyant island]

I actually think Sage's Email to Brimstone makes it clear that he IS a Radiant. Actually from Sage's Email I think the markings on Gekko's left arm (the arm he brings in front of his eyes when he wants to see through Thrash's eyes) are what Sage is referring to "creature bonding process"

[noble zenith]

His powers are kind of niche but they're still powers

telepathy but ONLY with these little guys

[buoyant island]

yeah that is why Sage is talking about a Radiance spectrum

[noble zenith]

We have Radiants who could actually collapse the universe into a black hole if they tried, and then Gekko, who just has some little fishy friends

Forever wondering why Astra teamed up with Reyna on Alternate Earth but if they take this long just to tell us who Gekko even IS I don't have my hopes up

[buoyant island]

yeah... the pacing of lore delivery and how much it covers the story each time is definitely something to restructure

[solar bloom]

True

[solar bloom]

Ye, but concrete confirmation would make it a lot better

[noble zenith]

they have more than enough resources to have a completely separate lore timeline to patch releases, it honestly baffles me why they refuse to use them. It feels so inherently counter intuitive

[half sentinel]

For Landfall, I know some had mentioned the theory that its referring to Ascent and bringing it back to the ground. I was just scrolling thru and notice that for the Radiant War, there was a line mentioning "Dopo Secoli dalla sua Ascesa, Venezia Affonda [After centuries of it's rise, Venice falls]" could this be foreshadowing? Or perhaps the line is just referring to Venice falling metaphorically

[buoyant island]

The timeline and events of the universe KAY/O comes from does not really match Alpha... for example in that headline in the trailer it says " after centuries of its rise" meaning either in KAYO's universe Venice rose in the middle ages OR it is way way in the future which then can create some inconsistencies. IF Kay/O's timeline is happening in future is not a definite future, it is a possible one which might not happen in Alpha.

[half sentinel]

so perhaps venice falls earlier

in alpha

[buoyant island]

IF it falls. Remember if Landfall is a project that is really about lowering Venice then it could work, but also might not work.

[half sentinel]

right, assuming that it is referring to that

[buoyant island]

true

[half sentinel]

not me imagining chamber being like: not in my house you're lowering venice

and just chambers all over the project

lol

[cinder plover]

oh that sounds more plausible, although Rito hasn't given us jack shit about Omega's POV on recruit and lore

[cinder plover]

imagine if this is Riot's way of saying that the Radiant War is coming a couple centuries early

[half sentinel]

that would def be interesting, I just feel like there's a lot of storylines going on at once and adding that possibility is going to be a whirlwind of lore to discover

I just want more lore man

[noble zenith]

we all do

[cinder plover]

i mean if this is a multi-year project rivaling the scale of LoL, multiple threads is possible, including the inception of the Radiant Wars

[half sentinel]

I need a valorant show similar to arcane

[noble zenith]

trust me I'm sitting here seething and coping wishing my favorites had more than 15 minutes explanation of lore

(and that's like, at most .)

[cinder plover]

i don't think we will get it any time soon the main thread of lore is ... in its infancy, and even with outside threads like Yoru's storyline or Chamber's, at most we'd have like, a very patchwork, incoherent season of Valorant

[half sentinel]

also it's interesting to see in Brim's office that valorant protocol is apparently a "private sector consulting" I think

[cinder plover]

Cypher's disinformation network go brrr i guess

[half sentinel]

I do wonder if Brim will respond

and if he does

what would he say

about the creatures

[cinder plover]

i hope so, this is kind of a pivotal moment for Brim's lore, seeing whether or not his work with VP is more important that his camaraderie in K/SEC

[noble zenith]

I feel like it'll definitely be a telling point as to whether or not he's ready or willing to move on from everything that's happened at K/SEC

[cinder plover]

hopium that this is one of the catalyst that makes Reyna hate Brim more, and KAY/O being someone with future insight, will surprisingly be the one to mediate it, despite the fact that he was made to dawg on Radiants that'd be one hell of a story wouldn't it

[noble zenith]

KAY/O is definitely gonna become more important once we establish Brim's either willingness to move on or vice versa (this is extreme hopium for any kind of meaningful bounds in their relationship)

[half sentinel]

I can see Reyna finding out that Brim still contacts/is contacted by Kingdom and thus it drives her to want to split off from protocol

since she is already distrusting towards tech and humans

Because I think devs once said when you're in protocol you gotta wipe your past life

and it's quite hypocritical the captain of protocol still has links to his past employment

[cinder plover]

yeah and if Rito can make Garen and Katarina fall in love, I believe they are capable of making KAY/O a more fluid character than "I was made to dawg on Radiants, it ain't gonna change now"

[noble zenith]

he already has so much potential

we can already very very clearly see how much he cares about Brim

He is the person who had to watch Brim be at his worst and then fucking die, I don't think he wants to go through that again nor allow Brim to go down that hole of dispair

this would be a very reasonable way to allow KAYO to have more character development / open up more emotionally about Alternate Earth

since we know it affects him so much that even Fade can tell

[cinder plover]

do we know whose consciousness KAYO was molded from?

[half sentinel]

theory was brim's best friend right?

[cinder plover]

yeah i remember that too, although i am not too sure

[noble zenith]

no, but I don't think it matters. I think KAYO is his own person at this point, and doesn't have any memories of anyone he was modeled after

His own experiences have made him a different person

[carmine epoch]

What?

[noble zenith]

KAYO speaks of Astra being on the Radiant side of the Radiant war in his voice lines, how devastatingly powerful she was, despite her obvious dislike of Reyna on Alpha

We don't know the reason why they worked together, it seems as though the Astra he fought and the Astra he currently works with are two very different people so far

[half sentinel]

it's possible astra and reyna got along better in his other timeline

[noble zenith]

many things are possible with the Radiants honestly. he doesn't give much insight beyond his hatred of them and how they hurt people lol

[half sentinel]

for me, I wonder which side Omen is on. Because of his connections with Viper, yet he's a radiant so it would seem like he'd pick the radiant side

[noble zenith]

I don't think KAYO has ever mentioned Omen as a Radiant?

the only voice line I can think of for Omen is a commend voiceline

[cinder plover]

i guess that'd depend on whether or not he knows who he was, and how he could reconcile between what he was and what he is

[noble zenith]

KAYO obviously knows most of the Radiants but he doesn't have comments on all of them

some might not have been active or picked a side during the war

and I don't think he was created at the beginning of said war, either

[cinder plover]

true, or maybe he was just not there to absolutely wreck their shit

[half sentinel]

I can't wait to see Omen dog on maxbot

high key

[noble zenith]

true! but I feel like just from his trailer it's not unreasonable to assume that his creation was when the war was already raging

[cinder plover]

oh that reminds me, KJ very recently worked on KAYO, i imagine that Reyna will have some strong words about that on the future

[noble zenith]

KJ seems to take a liking to KAYO in general, as both a project and a person, and that definitely doesn't help Reyna's obvious hatred of both of them

[carmine epoch]

Who r thosw

[noble zenith]

I honestly think it's going to be a nail in the coffin for Reyna if/when Brim and KAYO get closer, and/or if he decides to keep ties with K-SEC

[cinder plover]

Legends of Runeterra OC, if i remember correctly, although i think i've seen them in League too

[noble zenith]

Both would be horrifying for her and her experiences

[half sentinel]

add on the possibility that lucia dies

[noble zenith]

KAYO is quite literally the epitome of everything she hates in life

[half sentinel]

cuz viper can't save her

it's like we throw all the angst on reyna

[noble zenith]

i love Reyna so much she is my vessel for evil and sadness other than KAYO

[half sentinel]

LOL

[cinder plover]

Honestly i think KAYO is the perfect solution for this. At the very least, he knows the main cause of the rift between Humans and Radiants, so it's possible that, after seeing all this Human-Radiant cooperation (something that is not possible for him to see at the point of his creation), he'd try his best to preserve it

or he could just punt reyna into space and say "gg ez no re"

[noble zenith]

If he originally came to Earth to destroy more Radiants, I don't think that's his intention anymore. He clearly cares too much about friends like Phoenix to the point where he actively disobeys his programming

He clearly cares more than he lets on.

I think him being vulnerable is just strange and terrifying to someone who is so new to sentience and critical thinking.

[cinder plover]

true, he's far beyond rote repetition, so it's honestly unsurprising to see that his programming can be more that just "Kill Radiants"

[carmine epoch]

Tbh i’d not be supposed if KJ’s tinkering would cause him to revert to original programminf

[cinder plover]

that voicemail to Brim

[carmine epoch]

Whats rote mean?

[noble zenith]

I really hope not, I don't need KAYO to commit more war crimes ♥️ /hj

[buoyant island]

honestly depending on what Kingdom is really trying to do here and the fact that Paul Delmann works in the project ( and I have a theory about Paul working with Chamber) I wont be surprised if he is looking into project landfall too

[noble zenith]

forever thinking about his voicemails to Brim. I just need these two to be happy

[buoyant island]

Chamber be like we dont let Kingdom do big things in this household

[noble zenith]

typical boomerbot supremacy in my humble opinion

[cinder plover]

Kingdom antifan 4lyfe

[noble zenith]

can't let Kingdom do shit, they'll definitely fuck it up. we see how they fucked up this perfectly good robot and gave him anxiety /j

They gave him a lot more than anxiety nevermind

[buoyant island]

I don't think that would be something that pushes Reyna out... If Reyna can train someone like Neon who is giga pro Kingdom then she will understand Brim using Kingdom for VP's goals rather than serving Kingdom

[cinder plover]

to be honest, we know far too little bout Gekko's lil buddies to know why they are important enough to be mentioned in the same context as Landfall :

[noble zenith]

Reyna is definitely up to something in particular

[cinder plover]

but it'd be a fun thing if Rito doesn't give out like, 2.5 crumbs of lore every patch

[noble zenith]

2.5 is really pushin how much they give us

[buoyant island]

well, Dizzy can float for a while... that is kinda big imo

[cinder plover]

they cooking, and we are allowed to maybe stay outside the kitchen for a sniff

[noble zenith]

they all exist! that's clearly all we need to know according to John riot /j

[cinder plover]

i was thinking something like using Thrash to detain the entirety of Ascent

[noble zenith]

THRASH GOTTEM!!!

[uncut musk]

i dont have any hope they are not cooking shit

[half sentinel]

low key more chamber lore? involvement of project landfall?

[cinder plover]

also, can we also acknowledge some ATLAS homie seeing a hole in B site and decided to put his entire forearm in it, just for that thing to get sliced off like damn pastrami?

[tropic sonnet]

@cinder plover has leveled up! (13 ➜ 14)

[cinder plover]

thanks Sabine

[uncut musk]

they're cooking a half baked reveal that cuts off and then no explaination is given

it's undercooked

[buoyant island]

could be... keep an eye out on Paul; Where he is, Chamber is not far behind

[noble zenith]

I mean I feel like I'd do the same thing out of pure curiosity

[cinder plover]

"Oh hey, a hole"

[buoyant island]

the whole stove is off tbh

[uncut musk]

because even oran and ruben have more story and explanation than than gekko ever got

[noble zenith]

they are cooking with no gas 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 no stove 🔥🔥🔥 no fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥 no oven 🔥🔥🔥

they clearly don't own an air fryer

[half sentinel]

at this point i'm more excited on the new agent than gekko

💀

gg go next moment

[noble zenith]

honestly

imagine dropping a character and then deciding that writing lore and publishing it is just too hard 😭

[cinder plover]

this some Oliver Twist level shit, cooking with hopes and copes and imagination, with a sprinkle of hallucination we be starving out here

[uncut musk]

just super disappointing

[noble zenith]

one day riot will realize how much lore sells

[half sentinel]

still thank whoever designed and made fade's lore to expose majority of protocol

[uncut musk]

because it sounds like the people working on him really liked working on him!

so like .,/.>>>>?????

[cinder plover]

i think they saw it with arcane, but was like "nah too much work"

[uncut musk]

except for the fact that they write WHOLE NOVELS for league

[noble zenith]

they see it literally everywhere because one of the most popular games in the world mostly sells for it's lore around characters

[cinder plover]

that is the definition of a W story arc

[cinder plover]

lore team diff ig

[buoyant island]

to be fair I think Gekko's story lies ahead of us; as in it is not yet told... before finding the blorbos he seems to have lived a generally balanced life

[noble zenith]

being actually allowed to publish lore cuz I know for a fact the Valorant writing team is crying their eyeballs out having to keep their mouths shut for months or years

This is 100% an executive decision and not the writers fault

I woulda spoiled the whole thing already 💀

[cinder plover]

true, also to be fair, we're like, only 3 years old lorewise, there's still time left and yes i'm snorting them copium up

[noble zenith]

I've consistently been snorting an insane amount of copium ever since I started liking KAYO an unreasonable amount

[cinder plover]

we need a :tactibearBased: emote for this

[noble zenith]

I need him to be happy (IMPOSSIBLE)

[half sentinel]

Kayo is def unique cuz it's the battle between like what you're programmed to do versus like do you have the free will to go against what you're programmed

[noble zenith]

kayo is unique because that mf is gay 😭‼️‼️

imagine being a genocide robot and then one day randomly waking up that shit must've been crazy

[cinder plover]

KAYO stands for "Brim's Body Pillow"

[half sentinel]

[noble zenith]

I see nothing but fax

I just want those two to be happy in particular and all of their friends. KJ is now his stepdaughter canonical

[cinder plover]

mfer be embracing that "Make love not war" mentality

[noble zenith]

LMFAO

This made me snort thank you

[half sentinel]

The thing with Kayo is like... he knows what happens in the future (at least for his timeline) and he travels to a diff one to try to prevent it. But the thing about like preventing futures is the thought of like... the more one tries to prevent it, they're just accelerating towards that very future they try to prevent

so I def can't wait to see if Kayo can defy the future

tho part of me want the civil war cuz chaos go brrr

[noble zenith]

I feel like KAYOs original intention was to kill every Reyna but when he got to Alpha earth he was like omg! my friends! and now has changed his mind even if he still absolutely despises Reyna

I feel like it would hurt him to leave another Brimstone more than it would benefit him to kill every Reyna

This mf is sooo gay what is wrong with him (I would willingly die for him)

[half sentinel]

perhaps to keep brim alive he has to make sure reyna doesn't go bat shit crazy

[cinder plover]

not necessarily true i think, KAYO's programming is definitely malleable enough to allow for change in his perspective in the matter of Humans v Radiants, i'm sure that he might take up some role of like, a mediator of some kind to prevent any rift between the 2 factions

pure speculation tbh, but would be fun to see

[noble zenith]

honestly I feel like there's a hidden factor about his mind at play right now. I don't think he'd be able to look Reyna in the eye without killing her

[cinder plover]

if Rito actually releases lore for once

[noble zenith]

Something tells me that Radianite is doing more than just letting him move

But that's just a game theory

[uncut musk]

does he even know why the conflict between humans and radiants happened

[cinder plover]

oh god imagine if Game Theory channel got a hold of Val lore

[uncut musk]

i will dive off a bridge

[cinder plover]

holup imma synchronize dive with u

honestly thank fk they don't make vids about Val lore, i think they learned from Undertale that their speculative bullcrap is not gonna work with games that have actual lore

[uncut musk]

https://tenor.com/view/genshin-impact-amber-nosedive-amber-dumb-gif-18766273

[cinder plover]

noclip into the Tevyat backrooms

[noble zenith]

I don't think he's ever specifically stated the catalyst, nor do I think we know. he's the only source of information about the Radiant Crisis tbh
