right

#

like its been a couple 5 or moreso years

#

so hes been dealing with abyssal threats and later on wild hunt for awhile now

#

and this whole time`

#

he hasnt even met rerir yet

#

meanwhiel fucking flins over here beating ass and getting his ass beat by phantom rerir once bina left the fatui

#

we still dont know why tsaritsa made bina use up almost all her power for her right

#

maybe shes collecting all sorts of primordial energies/powers from her harbingers

#

one hell of a molotov cocktail to hit the heavenly principles with

#

elements of the seven, kuuvahki from the light realm, maybe abyss from the void. phlogiston and primordial seawater, perhaps even a part of irminsul itself

#

anythhing to fight the heavens that could create even the slightest bleed

#

im sure that'll go swimmingly

#

the fact tsaritsa basically used bina as a battery for

#

something

#

then just basically left her for dead

#

shes obviously using it for something with very little regard for others

worldly rain
#

Maybe because instead of changing the environment for them the fake humans start using it as weapon against their order... So they themselves come out and destroy them and start the cycle again...

Maybe this is the reality of forbidden knowledge... Instead of being used as tool the fakes ones start using it for themselves and that's where the backup plan aka forbidden knowledge triggers and destroys the fake humans

#

This neatly ties up with the nature of forbidden knowledge being similar to abyss

#

Yes as in case of deshret it created eleazar

#

Hmm maybe... The abyss itself is what allows the fake ones to go against their plan
And forbidden knowledge is what stops them

#

But then PO being abyss doesn't fit

#

Yes but I'm saying that forbidden know only triggered when desret tried to go after the truth
So in a way it indeed is a safeguard from PO to prevent anyone from finding the truth

#

Or just a side effect I guess

#

It's a side effect of pursuing the truth more of a safe guard
But we'll see...it depends on if PO indeed is related to abyss which so far doesn't look to be the case

worldly rain
#

That's what the game tells us yes
But the theory is about what the game is hiding from us..

#

Barbeloth a baddie fr

hushed narwhal
#

barbeloth reminds me of some character i forgot name of

brave marten
#

I wonder if she's playable

#

Citlali 😭

#

sorry but

#

Citlali is a HORRIBLE example

brave marten
#

Citlali is hardly a hag

#

it's a horrible and shit way to use the hag trope

#

I don't even consider her one

#

I hate Citlali so much for that

#

real

#

her character / personality is shit too

#

Mare Jivari WQ did nothiny for me about her

#

but I'll give u that about her SQ

#

it's just any good things her SQ did are undermined by the rest of the stuff

#

at least for me

#

it's not that more like

#

how she behaves

#

I mean yeah that but more like

#

remember the Dain quest in Natlan

#

and how she behaved when she saw Direidyth?

#

maybe

#

I do like

#

her interactions with Enjou

#

but I can't tell whether that's because I love Enjou a lot or because their interactions were actually nice

#

Enjou is too goated

#

what are the chances he gets a playable model when we get Mare Jivari eventually

#

considering the time bs mare jivari has

#

maybe he died in the future

#

and the artifacts went to the past?

brave marten
#

possible but who knows

#

with the map time releasing in the current patch cycle

#

I genuinely doubt they'll release mare jivari before NK ends

#

NK map left, Dornman port and a summer map

#

Mare Jivari won't fit

#

indeed

#

I guess

#

what phoenix

#

ohh okay

#

probably an evolved dragon

#

well they gotta hurry up

#

Snez has a lot of shit to resolve before Khaenriah

#

oh well

#

we'll see at least a year from now

#

maybe more

#

BRO

#

IS THIS YOU

#

I JUST OPENED TWITTER AND THIS IS THE FIRST TWEET I GOT

#

WTF

brave marten
#

idk about teasers

#

yeah ik

#

wouldn't be surprised

#

did u see the new discord policy

#

and their new ceo?

#

ah okay that makes more sense

#

look from which country he is and you'll understand why they started doing this

#

goddamn parasites

sly bison
ebon iris
#

with that bob ass cut? hell yea

#

i wouldnt be surprised if another witch becomes playable either in snezhnaya or khaenriah

thick oyster
# sly bison

Vedrfolnir will use his time powers to reverse her age and remove the wrinkles she has C_TaoHehe

queen prawn
#

Out of everyone,why himC_TaoHehe

#

Hexen is well connected to Shade

#

Also Alice should be able to reverse her age with magic

thick oyster
#

Duh

queen prawn
#

what was that

thick oyster
queen prawn

#

bro you didn't have to go that far 😭

glad crypt
lilac coral
#

it's klee A_GaspTao

sly bison
#

Bro even if she’s NPC jailed they are NOT using the standard bob cut NPC as her basis and you know it 😭

lilac coral
#

they'll use it but give her like 3 extra strands of hair

lilac coral
sly bison
#

Expect Fujin level at minimum

lilac coral
#

they took notice of her bombs

#

and admired it

They’re very good

"A literal ancient dragonlord in our ranks hmm lets see how about we send her to help with evacuation (anyone with a stable enough body and mindset can accomplish this) yeah that sounds good"

brave marten
glad crypt
glad crypt
#

and of course ineffa wants to stick with aino

brave marten
#

she's still miles better than the other two options

#

acting like Aino needs protection

#

she'd one shot them 😭 ✌️

#

anyways fine you guys get stuck on Ineffa what about the rest

#

and doesn't matter how enhanced Lauma is she shouldn't be better than Ineffa

#

as far as we know the only enhanced thing about her is her blood

#

with a dragonlord core

#

by Aino

#

the same person who made the kuuvahki turret in nasha town

#

wherr was this mentioned

#

assumption

#

doesn't count then

#

a robot made by Aino using a dragonlord core should be superior

brave marten
#

you're acting like she's

#

like this

#

but she isn't

#

Lauma is not Sandrone level

#

logically Ineffa should be better than Lauma, Lauma has no confirmed stuff that make her stronger

#

her only enhanced thing is her blood

river valve
#

Well sandrone is fontaine made and big part of ineffas structure is also from fontaine

#

And somehow mondstadt

brave marten
#

the NK wildlife is sensitive to kuuvahki

river valve
#

And aino made the kuuvahki canon

#

We're really 🐓 measuring engineers now

brave marten
#

point is

#

Lauma and Nefer have no business being there

#

over the other people

#

I like how no one is arguing about Flins

#

wow reloading ur gun takes a whole week?

river valve
#

Ammo problem binas musty ahh granny body is sloppy as hell

brave marten
#

I was making fun of ur typo

#

never thought about it like that

#

bro got tired of waiting he tried to fix it himself

river valve
#

Didn't rerir just change the aim

brave marten
river valve
#

Oh thats right the fucking stabilisers or whatever needed check up and we had to do a whole bs

brave marten
#

Rerir is the good guy confirmed?

#

he fixed the cannon for them

river valve
#

Not like rerir did fuck all if his ass didn't kill the roboarm guy he would've done the check up

brave marten
#

nah Rerir's the good guy

#

trust me

#

Dottore and Rerir were the real good guys in Nod Krai and traveler and his band of super villains were trying to stop the good they were doing

#

real shit

brave marten
#

Dottore opened the sky for them to bring down the moon

#

I mean

#

I feel like genshin at the start wanted to portrait a lot of gods/archons/shades etc as villains and should be brought down

#

but every arc it feels they abandon that more

#

genshin at the start was about humanity becoming free and choosing for themselves and now all thr gods are good guys except HP

river valve
#

Ethically disgusting vs morally outrageous 🔥🔥🔥🗣️

brave marten
#

a lot of stuff about Fontaine was abandoned tbh

#

pollution

#

remember the pollution part

river valve
#

Fontaine was gonna be piltover and zaun

brave marten
#

that's why Dottore's the goat

brave marten
#

that shit was abandoned real quick

#

I swear bro if Snezhnaya's story is one more about a god being the good guy and a human being the bad guy I'm crashing out

river valve
#

The main premise of inazuma sounded so cool but man did they not care for it

#

Yeah

brave marten
#

Raiden was interesting until they forgot everything she did post AQ

river valve
#

The upper city of wealthy and elite ppl vs the stinky ppl

brave marten
#

and people returned to worshipping her real quick

brave marten
#

Silco's the goat

river valve
brave marten
river valve
brave marten
#

she killed ur fucking neighbour 2 days ago mf why did u go back to worshipping her

#

seriously? how?

river valve
#

Do the watatsumi ppl actually worship ei

#

I dont think so right?

brave marten
#

actually real

#

oh

#

that

#

the eternal ayaka was because of covid

#

and it was way after Inazuma AQ was over

river valve
#

Oh nah eternal ayaka was during sumeru era

brave marten
#

so no the ccp didn't intervene

river valve
#

Inazuma storyline looks like it changed tho

brave marten
river valve
#

Trevail trailer talks about the bafuku and all that and there's nothing about it in the actual storyline

river valve
brave marten
#

it is I'm certain of it

brave marten
#

and how it wasn't brought up

#

I assumed it's either a mistranslation

#

or something in japenese they translated to english in the AQ

river valve
#

That makes more sense actually yeah

brave marten
#

especially Fontaine

#

actually idk which one

river valve
#

Sumeru is interesting tho bc "the burning pages of purana" or whatever hasn't happened and every aq finale so far is the name they showed in trevail

brave marten
#

but honestly the one that I was hyped up about the most is Sumeru and how it seemed like the dendro archon was endorsing the lies and the false knowledge and all but it just turns out she's in jail

river valve
#

You cannot tell me that iansan and the current iansan were supposed to be the same person

brave marten
brave marten
#

people always say it was a mistranslation and in chinese the AQ name is the same one as the game

river valve
#

Natlan still could've been very peak the initial vibes were immaculate but then mavuika decided "its ALL about me"

brave marten
#

we're talking about Sumeru's

glad crypt
#

dottore was in the wrong though

#

you're just brainwashed dottore fana

river valve
# brave marten and the saurians 🥀

I got the biggest brick up moment when neuvilette said its the nation of dragons at the end of the fontaine aq and then the dragons in question turned out to be marketable plush sized mascots 🥀💔

brave marten
glad crypt
#

you

brave marten
#

where

#

😭

brave marten
#

it was

#

u just said it

glad crypt
#

also natlan is covered in ancient dragon ruins

brave marten
#

NO BRO

glad crypt
#

zandik was confirmed

brave marten
#

mf keep up

#

the travail trailer had a

glad crypt
#

though we figured it out like in 2022

brave marten
#

different AQ name

#

in english

glad crypt
#

truth among the pages of purana was a mistranslation

brave marten
#

but in chinese it's the same one as the ingame AQ

#

so it's a mistranslation

brave marten
#

yeah

#

sadly

#

yeah

river valve
#

OR there's gonna be another sumeru aq

#

TRUST

glad crypt
#

also

#

everwinter without mercy

#

for snezhnaya

brave marten
#

what does puranas mean?

glad crypt
#

i think khaenri'ah's AQ could be a subtitle

#

like song of the welkin moon

brave marten
#

feels like it's hinting at the Irminsul

glad crypt
#

uhhhh

#

A Traveler on a Winter's Night, that's it?

river valve
glad crypt
#

funny enough

brave marten
#

everwinter without mercy in the end of the year

glad crypt
#

a traveler on a winter's night refers to columbina

#

or does it also refer to the traveler

#

hmm

brave marten
glad crypt
#

it'll have it's own name and everything

#

like song of the welkin moon

river valve
glad crypt
#

lemme find it

brave marten
#

we should make bets on who's the "archon" figure of Khaenriah

river valve
brave marten
#

I was about to drop a slur due to how bamboozled your reply got me

river valve
brave marten
#

she got the advantage of being a woman

glad crypt
#

i swear columbina says traveler on a winter's night some point in the AQ

river valve
#

Also he's dead as fuck thats a tiny little detail

brave marten
river valve
brave marten
#

BRO ISTFG IF THE ABYSS ORDER PLAN TO MAKE KHAENRIAH AGAIN IS MAKE COPIES OF OLDER PEOPLE TOO

#

I WILL CRASH OUT

river valve
#

Playable human capitano

brave marten
#

they'll make a "good" Irmin playable bro 😭 😭 😭

#

I doubt Hroptatyr

#

I don't think he'll ever be playable

#

Hroptatyr I mean

brave marten
#

so he's safe

#

what I'm scared about is

#

a "good" Hroptayr, Irmin and Rerir

#

oh yea Surtalogi too

#

come on you know it too

#

the sword

#

idk how to spell it

#

the one Columbina mentioned

#

pertaining

#

project Stuzha

#

it's a sword in mythology but we don't know what it is in gensh

#

yrs

#

yes

#

it's Thrain's sword

#

in mythos

#

yeah I saw it

#

saw someone making the theory that both Capitano and Dottore are supposed to represent it

#

who's supposed to be baldur in genshin

#

saw it in Capitano mains

#

mistletoe is a plant that infects trees or smthn iirc

#

and their theory was that Dottore and Capitano are both a virus

#

Dottore burns it and Capitano replaces it

#

seriously? 💀

#

I played god of war and that's not the idea I got from its Baldur

#

I thought GOW franchise is faithful a bit to mythos?

#

so baldur didn't become insane in mythos?

#

also since when a god of beauty and youth is a man?

#

usually gods like that are a woman

#

fair enough

#

in GOW Baldur was killed using the mistletoe too iirc

#

Loki tricked him

#

the son of Kratos

#

oh it was an accident?

#

I played it a few years ago so I forgot ngl

#

in any case, I don't think they'll use its norse name knowing it was Thrain's sword in mythos for funsies

#

fair enough

#

did you play the latest event?

#

did u see general capy

#

no no

#

wait lemme find it

#

one of the units

#

u can use

glad crypt
#

for snezhnaya

#

inb4 tsaritsa design

brave marten
#

he's either returning at the end of NK or at the last main AQ of Snez

#

when they start with project Stuzha

#

I mean when

#

they launch it

#

completely

thick oyster
brave marten
#

just like Varka in the animated teaser

#

potential feat

brave marten
thick oyster
brave marten
#

the Dvalin one was his potential anyways 😭

#

shit never happened

thick oyster
#

It was what would have happened if Varka didn't fight the Wild Hunt

brave marten
#

yeah

#

still impressive anyways

#

but giving him a potential feat is so funny

thick oyster
brave marten
#

what feats does Arle have

#

beating Fontaine traveler

#

helping pulling down the moon

thick oyster
thick oyster
brave marten
#

🥀

#

in any case

#

I hope the wild hunt leaves huge consequences in Mond

#

to give a proper reason

#

for Varka going on an expedition

#

for 5 years

thick oyster
#

So Varka can beat him

brave marten
#

if they show the disaster Varka saw is pertained to Roland and that he's pretty strong and he spent the 5 years looking for him

#

that would explain things well ig

thick oyster
brave marten
#

I'm certain they will through Andrius

thick oyster
#

Yeah I hope

brave marten
#

we're supposedly fighting an evil Andrius in the SQ?

thick oyster
#

Varka did go to Hyperborea before Nod-Krai

thick oyster
brave marten
thick oyster
brave marten
thick oyster
brave marten
#

she stunned him for a sec 🥀

brave marten
#

did he?

#

yeah an evil one

#

as evidenced by the darker fur and red eyes

thick oyster
brave marten
#

I'm assuming in those 5 years he was looking for Roland

thick oyster
brave marten
thick oyster
brave marten
#

Roland because he saw him in the disaster Barbeloth showed him

thick oyster
#

Varka went to Natlan too

brave marten
#

and Koitar to gain her blessings

#

also this isn't true since Roland is leading them next patch

thick oyster
#

Yeah that's why Dottore has to direct Varka to Amsvartnir

brave marten
#

nah Roland went to Kheanriah allegedly and learned the truth, doesn't mean he stayed there or around it

#

fair enough

thick oyster
#

Mondstadt means Moon City

#

Well it says (Mondstadt) in parentheses afterwards

brave marten
#

still

#

saying he was there for the moon

#

is a big misdirection

thick oyster
brave marten
#

I don't like it but whatever

#

all I want for now is for them to give a reasonable explanation

#

for the 5 years Varka spent

#

on his expedition

#

no offense but whoever thought that wasn't part of an event is actually an idiot 💀

#

🥀

brave marten
#

did usee this

thick oyster
brave marten
#

can't wait for the preload

#

to know whether there's a fake Roland or nah

thick oyster
brave marten
thick oyster
brave marten
brave marten
thick oyster
brave marten
#

🥀

thick oyster
brave marten
#

🥀

thick oyster
#

I saw someone put Arle over the unit that stays at a distance
That was funny

brave marten
#

agenda impact is funny

#

@thick oyster @odd thicket there's this from the new Varka anecdote

thick oyster
#

Wonder what the Ley Lines are about

#

Please be Capitano

brave marten
#

that's what I thought too

brave marten
thick oyster
brave marten
#

please please please

thick oyster
brave marten
#

that too yeah

#

I really can't see why Roland

#

would try to attack Mond

thick oyster
brave marten
thick oyster
brave marten
#

that doesn't make sense

#

because he's goated af

ebon iris
#

"If abyss be thy name. I pledge thy loyalty"

#

Yea so Roland might have a bit of a sore spot rn

brave marten
#

that what

#

oh

#

why would Ved instruct Roland to take control of the wild hunt and attack Mond

#

I mean

#

in the trailer

#

there were wild hunt enemies surrounding that spot

#

and the statue of Venti was destroyed

thick oyster
#

Rostam is dead and Arundolyn too

#

Wonder if the Wild Hunt showing up in Mondstadt means that the Rerir boss will also be in Mondstadt too

#

He hasn't revived anyone though

#

He can't just bring people back as puppets

#

Can't do that

#

Roland is the only one with allegiance to the Abyss

#

Gosoythoth became Xiuhcoatl

#

Vedrfolnir wouldn't do that

#

He doesn't control the Ley Lines
Only Capitano is going for complete control of them

#

Loom of Fate only makes new ley lines

#

Doesn't control the old ones after Caribert merged with it

#

That hasn't happened yet

#

Ved doesn't work with the Abyss Order
They're separate somehow

#

Chlothar just worshiped him

#

Ved disappeared right after
He doesn't really care too much about them

#

He questioned why they even worship him

#

Cause they worship him

#

Maybe
But he doesn't take a direct approach

#

He doesn't really want to
Variables and the like

#

That was just talking in their heads

#

To make a new God probably

brave marten
#

what's the chance that since Ved cares about Khaenriah he also cares about its people so that was his fucked up way of helping Rerir

brave marten
#

I just don't see him making Rerir allat to help him in his plan somehow considering he was hesitating at first, feels like it was genuine advice he gave to Rerir

ebon iris
#

LMFAOOOO

brave marten
#

sometimes I feel like you're imagining most of those

#

why? don't they both want HP to go down?

brave marten
#

same goal different methods that can fuck up the other's plan?

#

fair enough

#

need next patch to drop soon, surely there are some Rerir crumbs

#

thinking about it

#

Varka's SQ haz Roland

#

Ved and potential Rerir crumbes

#

crazy

#

two years from now you'll be posting a Google doc explaining why Ved is playable like Capitano and Rerir mains do

#

doubt it

#

yea we talked about it once

#

out of the sinners Rerir, Rhinedottir and Vedrfolnir are likely the playable ones

#

oh that

#

I imagine he freed himself

#

from Teyvat's fate

#

that's why

#

but logically Dain is the 6th sinner so he should be free too

#

in Sumeru right?

#

didn't those Sumeru creatures in the desert say he got it there

#

or am I remembering wrong

#

oh okay

#

wait

#

if he's like that because of the ring

#

then he can't be the 6th sinner

#

his body should be immune to degradation automatically if he was

#

like every other sinner

#

how do you know that

#

this was said explicitly?

thick oyster
brave marten
#

she's the only one of the bunch I'm certain is playable

thick oyster
brave marten
#

or she was just following Irmin's orders 🥀

thick oyster
#

Vedrfolnir was talking in her mind and made her do it

brave marten
#

or she didn't do it, it was actually Hroptatyr

#

bro you nearly gaslighted me

thick oyster
#

Irmin was actually the illegitimate heir
His sister was supposed to be the queen but he stole it

#

Khaenri'ah's AQ will reinstate her and have her lead Khaenri'ah to glory

#

She is the Archon equivalent

brave marten
ebon iris
#

Can't believe hrop is a misogynist 💔

brave marten
thick oyster
brave marten
#

the age of male "Archon" figures has long past

thick oyster
ebon iris
#

NOOOOOOO LMAO

brave marten
#

like Arle

#

or Skirk

ebon iris
#

What do u guys think Rhine's tragic backstory before the Cataclysm was

thick oyster
ebon iris
#

Why she accepted abyssal power

#

If rerir was for love/tholindis

#

Lowkey im thinking it has to do with her and children

#

Not just making the perfect lifeform

brave marten
#

it does seem like they're marketing him decently

ebon iris
#

She mentions something like that in the first Hexenzirkel teaser

thick oyster
brave marten
thick oyster
thick oyster
#

And she's the first 200k DPS

thick oyster
brave marten
#

I think that's just about the crazy experiments she dies

#

does

brave marten
ebon iris
#

See i can see why u say that but knowing hoyo they probably have SOMETHING to make us feel bad for Miss Apocalypse Bringer

brave marten
thick oyster
thick oyster
ebon iris
#

It worked with Rerir bc the dude has no grand ambitions or desires very personal things at the expense of others (mostly)

#

But idk how u could justify say

#

Surtalogi

ebon iris
#

Or Rhine

thick oyster
ebon iris
#

She can be a baddie all she wants

#

I just wanna know what she was like pre Cat

thick oyster
#

It's weird that Rhine is just content being a Shade
She has to have more in store

brave marten
#

judging from her interaction with Hrop she doesn't seem like she changed

ebon iris
#

I also wanna know what happened to her immediately after she gained abyssal power bc rerir went and killed himself

thick oyster
ebon iris
#

Did she start making more monsters too

#

She clearly didnt help Khaenri'ah in the slightest

brave marten
ebon iris
#

Oh?

thick oyster
#

Yeah

thick oyster
brave marten
#

I think Rhinedottir would lose her appeal if she got a tragic backstory

thick oyster
#

Doesn't really feel like her though

brave marten
#

there were no hints to one either

ebon iris
#

We seriously need a Sinners PV after 6.7

#

Before snezhnaya trust

#

ALSO WHEN ARE THE SHADES GONNA FUCKING INTERVENE

#

HELLO???????????

brave marten
thick oyster
brave marten
thick oyster
#

Yeah but she doesn't really seem to care in the Shade video

thick oyster
brave marten
#

I think Rhinedottir's next goal is to break free from the restrictions of the HP without losing the power of shades

#

she doesn't seem like she's happy with being restricted

ebon iris
#

So Istaroth intervened alright

#

What about everyone else

#

Is it just gonna be her

brave marten
#

what the fuck is the Hexenzirkel's whole deal?

#

sustaining the borders?

#

is that it?

#

the 6th one I think is Furina referencing Neuv's first name

ebon iris
#

rrr

#

lol

#

Yea ok idk if that abyssal snake thing with rerir is gonna amount to anything

#

Bc rerir rejects it

brave marten
#

what'd she do

thick oyster
ebon iris
#

They had to check skirk when she came

thick oyster
#

No she didn't

#

That was just Alia eulogizing

ebon iris
#

Tho I guess they werent around for surtalogi lol

thick oyster
#

Alia just hated Lovia

brave marten
#

I don't see them doing much tbh

#

other than sustaining the border

#

well they did say they clean up after Rhinedottir

thick oyster
brave marten
thick oyster
#

She already had a connection to Natlan
Yohual probably contacted her

brave marten
thick oyster
#

Ronova wouldn't care about Rotwang
After HP whipped her for caring about Natlan

brave marten
#

fuck

#

I forgot about that

#

wasn't that just the abyss being the abyss?

thick oyster
#

Alia wasn't guided by Ronova

#

She just says that to keep up her act of caring about the gods

#

The only God she cared about was Columbina

brave marten
#

wouldn't it make sense if a shade interfered tho? Rotwang's schemes could've cost the entire planet

thick oyster
#

To praise Columbina and remove all influence of other gods

perhaps they ask Istaroth first

and she says

"nah they got it"

everytime something happens

the shades*

?

thick oyster
brave marten
#

oh that one

#

okay yeah you're right

thick oyster
#

Not really
Istaroth just gave them some visions

brave marten
#

you're not delusional this time at least

thick oyster
#

That's because the Moon reflection is reversed time

#

And Istaroth is a time God

brave marten
#

hmm what would Ved gain from trying to consume Rerir tho? we agreed on him trying to help Rerir at first and how was he able to access the moon reflection?

#

wait did they ever explain how was the abyss able to enter the moon reflection?

#

this is annoying

#

I hope all these questions are answered before NK ends

#

fuck if I know

#

who's betting on them keeping it vague in 6.4 too

#

god hoyo is the god of vagueposting

Roland could just be acting on his own

Roland would have no reason to attack Mond

it must be something big

His only line of dialogue is going "oh that's interesting" or something

Did he also clap Koitar?

Did the new wings got released?

Did it tell some new lore?

#

Oh let me check honey hunter
Rip homdg/ambr A_HuPensive

#

Three more weeks I guess or was it two...but yeah

#

Dw found it on hh

thick oyster
#

It's also on the wiki

worldly rain
#

Damn the lore reveal looks insane

#

Is that traveler mentioned the 3rd descender?

#

@odd thicket egg mentioned C_HuPepeSmile

#

"According to legend, the king of the Fae of the Snowlands — a hero born from the bones of a great beast — sought to unite the entire continent "
Could he be born using the bones of cryo sovereign?

#

It was giant beasts plural not great beast singular in this case...

#

I mean if we assume giant beasts to be drgaons then great beast among them is naturally the sovereign

#

Yeah so irminsul has door that leads to egg and the egg might be the origin of someone that was enemy of the tsar(abyss? Or PO or someone else entirely)

#

Spirit of ftost I'm not sure but traveler could be the 3rd descender?

#

Isn't that the inverted tree? I remember that to be the case

#

I think in fortune cards

#

Arcane cards IT let me see if I can find it

ebon iris
#

All Sinners have a part in the grand scheme that is defying fate

#

Even if they have setbacks

#

Even if theyre not around

#

One way or another they are tied to Teyvat, their home

#

"We may accept this fate or defy it, but we cannot deny it'

worldly rain
#

Yeah I didn't find it C_TaoHehe

#

But I found something else
"For since the very beginning, only one ruler has controlled the countless kingdoms that have arisen.

They are the "Emperor" who slumbers within their eggshell,
Yet proclaims themselves undying."

#

Could this emperor be the enemy described in the wings?

#

He slumbers within egg and is undying...

worldly rain
#

My thought obviously goes to it being PO (the merged original humans theory)

ebon iris
#

Lmao its just ff14 shadowbringers

#

Urianger is an astrologian in combat but also in the job class is their abilities to see fate

#

Also its from the peak trailer Shadowbringers

worldly rain
#

Hence the undying but then they were to go find the egg to finally kill them

ebon iris
#

🎵 AUTHORS OF OUR FATE ORCHESTRATE OUR FALL FROM GRACE🎵

#

OUR DEFIANCE DRIVES US STRAIGHT TO THE EDGEEE

#

Sorry anyway

worldly rain
#

Of course when tsar finally struck the egg the real one arose amd that's when he's supposed to die... According to the tale

#

Actually combine this wings lore with what we know of tsar
And we get the picture that the enemy describe here is abyss and the location where he's fighting the enemy is cataclysm (that's where he actually died)
Then the identity of traveler could be abyss twin

"To kill the enemy, the Snow-King would need to find a fissure buried deep in the earth's darkest strata. Within that crack lay a tree that grew downward."
Could be the same location where abyss originated? Khanerriah? The same underground where Irmin went with sibling too...

ebon iris
#

Maybe its just me but the whole tale near the end is very The King in Yellow-esque

#

Descending deep deep down, passing through space and dimensions

worldly rain
#

And tsar shattering the egg might be one of the reasons for why PO went in hibernation after cataclysm...
And again I'll be using the theory of PO being abyss originator C_TaoHehe

#

Egg is the shell where PO hibernate

#

This would be the truth tsar found

ebon iris
#

"Stare long enough into the abyss, and it might just stare right back at you"

#

It can mean a lot of vague ass things but I cant imagine it was fhe answer he was looking for

worldly rain
#

Because abyss mimics...
Remember natlan?

ebon iris
#

Are we the baddies type shit okay man

worldly rain
#

Well the abyss mimicked xhul as well as other pyro archons to impart fear and despair among its adversary

#

A_HuTaoShrug won't find the answer unless we have concrete info about PO I guess

#

Maybe PO doesn't have any face... After all the theory of original human says it's merged consciousness of them

#

So maybe they don't have proper form

#

Remember how PO is described as having wings?
But now remember the new boss info?
It said abyss grew wings to obey the order of this world
Maybe PO was the same when he descended the first time?

#

No he didn't set the order he took control over it and modified it I guess you could say
But the order was of nibelung only

#

Hence the moon sisters saying nibelung didn't teach them order

#

So when PO took control they couldn't do anything

#

We literally have the dialogue

#

There's no speculation here

#

Yeah merged consciousness won't have strict gender I guess

#

Which they said nibelung didn't teach them
Hence implying nibelung knew of the order
You could say the order is the planet will itself
And that's why PO took over the will hence the 1st descender

#

Descenders being the ones who can rival the will...

#

Yeah true but it definitely predates PO

#

So my og comment saying PO grew wings because of the order still holds true in a sense

#

Frost Spirit still remains... Wonder who would that be

#

No he built on top of that
Remember the artifact said he still needed the moons and the tide in his new order?
Implying he didn't overthrow the old order entirely

#

Or couldn't as the artifact implied

#

Not really as tides still exist so does the moon... Remember he spared one still?

#

As for the war damages that was abyss related

#

Which dents the PO abyss theory still A_WheezeTao

#

As abyss was brought by Nibelung lol

#

Hmm...

#

Unless the narrative itself is wrong C_TaoHehe

#

That's the fog of reason... We're told wrong history A_WheezeTao

#

Would she still remain alive? And what would she be doing in khanerriah?

worldly rain
#

"The path where "strength" is sacrificed for "human wisdom",
Is that of the "Hanged Man" who seeks to glimpse the mysteries of the demonic heavens hanging from the white tree. "

@odd thicket demonic heavens hanging from the white tree...

#

The hanged man arcana card

#

Ved probably

#

That monster being demonic heaven aka PO...

#

Abyss

ebon iris
#

And the archons names

#

🤭

worldly rain
#

...Could the concept of merging of civilization be abyss related?
Would PO themselves being merged entity be afraid of larger entity than them coming after them?

ebon iris
#

Wow it seems everything the HP made and or established has a demonic name

#

How interesting

#

Meanwhile Khaenri'ahn names are different in historical origin arent they?

worldly rain
#

And when you think about it the only reason PO could dismantle the order could very well be because they're abyss orignated and abyss is directly opposite of light
Hmmm

ebon iris
#

The sinners names are all prose/literature/mythos from mostly Nordic mythology right?

#

Rerir for example

#

And Vedrfolnir

#

And Surtalogi kinda

#

Volsung saga

#

Thought that was Ved i forgot lol

#

But ur right about the Odin connection

#

Okay ved u silly goose what are u doing

#

Cause durin is abyss right

#

I been saying this already but the abyss is literally ink that can rewrite the story of fate, but its too volatile unless it can be controlled by a steady hand

#

Otherwise it ends up ruining/destroying other stories

#

Yea

#

The whole durin sq honestly put in great perspective about fate and the best analogy through a story and writing

#

If the abyss is ink, then the traveler probably is white out and a pen

#

Well whatever removee ink lol

worldly rain
#

Teyvat chapter being written by celestia C_TaoHehe

ebon iris
#

Now im just imagining the sinners all on one computer trying to write something on the file and fighting over control lmao

worldly rain
#

So simulanka fate was sealed until traveler was brought in to change that
Now why couldn't the same be true for teyvat
Descenders being brought in to change the fate of teyvat...

#

Yeah but the twist would be that the fate celestia wants is to create the abyss filled environment suitable for their people...
If men of lithin is to go by anyway..

#

Not really because as you guys said abyss in controlled manner unravels old order to pave way for new but uncontrolled influx destroys

ebon iris
#

Ok wtf is Men of Lithin i keep seeing it being mentioned

worldly rain
# ebon iris Ok wtf is Men of Lithin i keep seeing it being mentioned

Basically there's being called "humans" who found "lithin" a kind of energy source (that's also their composition btw)
They used that to build their civilization until they polluted the environment too much that it became inhabitable

Then they went underground and merged their consciousness into single entity, this entity then designed fake "humans" (their memories and history) and spread them on the surface
They also created "technocratic assembly" to control this lithin among the fake ones (as well as used "fog of reason" to hide their reality)

The goal was for these fake humans to follow the "design" to create the suitable environment for the original "humans" to come back to surface

Btw the composition of fake ones was directly opposite to orginal ones so environment suitable for original ones would be fatal to fake ones

There's also a small minority of original humans who didn't merge and instead they kept reincarnating among the fake humans (this is basically the basis for vision holders theory)

ebon iris
#

HOLY

#

uh ok

#

So these fake humans are made by OG humans right

#

Who are supposed to be these og humans

#

From the unified civilization?

#

This is a Teyvat thing right

worldly rain
# ebon iris Who are supposed to be these og humans

It doesn't say anything
But that's where the theory comes in
So...
Orginal humans merged is basically the egg aka PO
Technocratic assembly is celestia
Orginal humans who didn't merge and instead reincarnate are vision holders
Fake humans are basically well the humans we see

ebon iris
#

Goddamn

worldly rain
ebon iris
#

But the fake humans are basically all the teyvat people we know then

#

And theyre fine

#

Meanwhile all the dragons are almost extinct

worldly rain
#

Assuming lithin is indeed phlogiston
Which makes PO aka original humans digital based lifeforms
This also ties up neatly with what little we saw of niberius and her being a digital screen

worldly rain
# ebon iris Meanwhile all the dragons are almost extinct

Yeah how the dragons came into the picture doesn't fit the theory right now

But there is one mention of dragons in the book and that's basically this...

"A colossal head and slender limbs, connected by countless threads to a seemingly reptilian body.

"What you are looking at is a 'Human.' It is the last specimen of its kind in the world."

Implying orginal human head was somehow connected to dragons body

ebon iris
#

Hmmmm

worldly rain
#

Yes but a lot of stuff just doesn't fit with what we saw with whole dragons lore

#

True but somehow I doubt it's that simple

#

The only problem with this is the addition of unenlightened ones
They don't fit the dragons at all

#

Nor is there any history designed for them...
But we know it is for humans by istaroth

#

There's also the technocratic assembly and the fog of reason
Those two also don't fit dragons but do fit very well with celestia and false sky

#

The thing is we don't know anything before PO descended from the egg
And that's where the theory comes into the picture that it tells of the story before that event
The missing prologue...

#

Genetic vault does exist in the book
That's what the unenlightened ones are basically

#

Siblings are definitely involved in this whole thing we just don't know how

#

If the world arcana is to believe then irminsul creation involved them

Fair enough

I think Dottore is probably going to be hydro or electro

But it'd be ironic if his vision was the element of the nation/archon he so detested

ebon iris

#

He'll probably get one in some climatic moment

ebon iris
#

Well how else would he even have powers

#

He's not a sovereign or god or anything really

thick oyster

#

He's just

#

An investment banker

thick oyster
#

Maybe adepti skills if he's from Liyue and trained with them

ebon iris
#

Imagine that, pantalone man an adepti

#

Nah

#

I'd rather prefer he was a normal human struggling amd making his way up the societal ladder to be where he is now

He's probably immortal somehow
So something is a little up with him

Yelan's most lore relevant moment is stealing a coat that was supposed to be for the Tsaritsa

everything after 2.7's quest is her going after random ass criminals E_pepelol

for being the richest woman in the world shes incredibly selfless

#

i love her for that

oh yeah

I hope

thick oyster
#

Won't give him a skin though

brave marten
#

he doesn't get something like Venti
