Fuckass bitch
I don't even like Neuvilette either but the enemy of my enemy is my friend
Hm oh yeah
We don't know for 100% certain
We thought Natlantea was just another word for Natlan
Yes, and I'm very curious about that
Well it was technically
Natlantea is the name of the Natlan of old
I mean, kind of like Remuria and Hyperborea no?
I think the intention was just her being childish again but I just don't really like it
A little higher than that
It was the literal afterlife
Natlantea?
Yeah
Hmm
Which was the capital of Xiuhcoatl's Natlan as a whole
The capital of Inazuma is "Inazuma City" after all
No he was going to end himself with Phlogiston
Not Abyss
Mondstadt? Mondstadt city
Yes that
Only when he first awakened
Oh yeah and also Pre-Raiden Inazuma lore, I'm also interested in that
I know we got a bit of that in the Temple of Space apparently, but like I want more on what Inazuma was before it was Inazuma, like before it became an island
I don't recall that
I wish we got more on the Electro Sovereign
Hm I wouldn't know where it is
I don't care about sovereign lore but if it comes with Inazuma lore I'll be happy
I mean yeah the electro Sovereign is pretty mysterious right now
Well yes, but it wasn't just Delphi on the surface
There's a domain description in Inazuma that hints at like, Inazuma being a desert with a Tyrant who wanted to worship the Irminsul tree or whatever
Yeah that is weird
bro
I saw this
and genuinely fuck yeah we need a murder mystery quest on the trains
I beg of you hoyo make Snezhnaya peak
hell yeah we were built for this
but tbh it woul be too easy
so it more logical we gonna get ambush in the train
Right, there's still Hroptatyr "The Wise." We know nothing about him except being the genius of the Five Sinners... but haven't we heard his voice amongst the chessboard meeting of the five?
Hroptatyr's voice is most definitely not the same as Pierro's.
I thought Dain has it. We could fight him at the end of the journey.
Wdym? We know the sinners power were taken from sibling and skirk sq talks about dividing it into 6 parts
5 sinners and finally the last one left is the og aka sibling
That's logical conclusion unless some weird shit happens
There's dain too but...
I was basing that on 6 pygmy theory now I'm not sure about "hidden" sinner anymore
no i meant if the power of sibing was divided into 6 parts and 5 of them were taken then obviously the 6th part is left with them only otherwise they wouldn't have any powers left if all of it was taken which isn't the case
I don't think so as it was told that sinners took the power from sibling so it has to be sibling not irmin
Possible yeah
Or he's secretly Hroptatyr's duel personality or some shit
Unlikely but there's going to be some kind of twist with him
Pierro real identity is probably the vice chancellor Vik (or whatever the name was) who didn't agree with Hroptytr
Irmin didn't take it from the Sibling per say
They just used the Sibling as a channeling device for the Abyss into him
Low-key feel like he's a red herring
But it's possible
Eftirvit
Well Rhinedottir is an asshole so
She's probably jealous that Eftirvit and Hroptatyr both are higher ranked than her
Well her personality did change a little after fusing with Naberius
Hm
Haden: Yes, we knew that the great Abyssal power within (her/him) had been divided up...

Where? I don't remember
The main quest dialogue says it was split from sibling
Irmin could have just taken his own abyss powers
They both went underground after all
When it comes to lore and main quest I'll trust main quest over lore
Until something changes of course
Yeah but that could just be abyss not sibling related which sinners took from them
Well they did break the cycle so there's that yes
Well I guess we'll just have to wait then
For now one thing is confirmed it's that the sinners took the powers that was divided from sibling
As for Irmin well guess we're waiting for more info then
They aren't willingly working with Vedrfolnir
Vedrfolnir isn't directly working with or ordering the Abyss Order. He's only indirectly guding them.
I belive it's said when Dainsleif tells us about the Sinners for the first time
The servants of the Abyss Order do but we don't know if the Sibling does
It was made in Vedrfolnir's image
Yeah he also mentions Irmin there
It's in an "inversion" of the god of freedom too
So they are rejecting the "freedom" bestowed by the gods in exchange for the "freedom" of the Abyss
And the ruins are of Lang-Gan, a moon worshiping civilization
It carries a variety of meanings
This is just one of them
Also we still don't know what tf happened to Zhiqiong 😭
It is?
The NK glider is very confusing as a whole
And The Tsar's death
Yes a friend told me about that
Maybe it's a metaphor for PO inverting Nibelung's original tree?
Or something
But how do we know it's the PO per say? They also sound abyssal
I just meant I already know the reference bruh
No he did I think
Irminsul and Nibelung are both Nordic words
Or Germanic I mean
Who else could it be though?
Could be a similar situation to Egeria
Rukk isn't the first she's just the first celestial creation
Yeah....
Could be that PO is leeching off the world in some way to restore itself
Then the "new tree" could be an inversion of the old
Maybe Phanes burned the old tree like what Dottore is going to do
Or was there?
We don't even know what the inversion truly means
Yeah I thought so
Hm
So this Irminsul is presumably the same as what the dragons had
Or
PO did something to the tree
She barely mentions anything to Nahida
Apep mainly wanted to talk about how she got corrupted
That's just about the old world in general
Yes but she didn't want too
She hates humans and the gods and wouldn't really want to talk to them
That's what I think too
But Ley Lines were from the dragon era
We know this and you agreed iirc
And Ley Lines are Irminsul's roots
Let Lines are Irminsul's roots
Not with roots though
Only with branches
So there was an old Irminsul tree
Then
That had the Ley Lines
No
One with the dragons
There has to be
99% of everything the Human Realm has was stolen from the Dragons
This description mentions "a tree"
Yes
Hm?
Yes
Yes
That's about the Travelers saving the universe and Teyvat from abyss I guess
But who tf is "the golden lion"
That's what I'm most confused about
So it's Phanes
"The "universe" stands firm"
But the silver tree sprouts twice
And one is from the Travelers
So who was the first?
Fischl's father is a metaphor for the PO?
But they're mostly the same?
Hm
I think it means that the Travelers might regrow Irminsul
No.
They were in stasis most of it
Twin was recovered in Khaenri'ah
Yes, with the Aranara at least
And Dain
Also they were in Asmoday's zoo for a bit
Yes
And the Traveler was never there
In the zoo I mean
Asmoday was probably always working against PO
For a while at least
She only left the temple 500 years ago
She could have been like Istaroth
Working against PO behind the scenes
But how else do you explain her giving the Travelers different treatments?
Well we don't know where our Traveler was stored for the 500 years
Also I got a theory on why the Sibling isn't a descender
Exactly
We don't know
There's something greater going on here
Yeah that's where she fully broke away
But Istaroth was also always against Phanes too
And there's also Venti's introduction voiceline being hella suspicious to this day
Asmoday's Scions prayer was completely redacted too remember?
She's always been weird
Perhaps because it contains info about her
Asmoday might have something to do with the Moons
Since Istaroth was the "protector" of the "4" moons
So that could relate to why it was redacted
Idk
The existence of the Watchers implies she wanted to be as great as the PO
But she fell short
She was always just one part of a greater whole
Like Radagon to Marika
Kinda
Yes, Asmoday could have been like Ronova
Only a follower out of fear/resignation
Until the Sibling or whoever convinced her otherwise
Traveler, Capitano, and Asmoday destroying Celestia
Yeah sorry
Dainsleif, Capitano, and Asmoday destroying Celestia
Damn,
Dainsleif, Capitano, and Pierro destroying Celestia
Male king is a kind and good ruler
Hands over responsibilities to three women
They immediately fuck everything up
What did John Hoyoverse mean by this?
I seriously can't wait till Hyperborea comes out and the Voyager is portrayed as a good guy
It'll be so funny
I get ragebaited so hard by them it's actually unhealthy
Only failed because Xbalanque was a celestial lapdog
She still possesed the body of a random kid to bang an angel
Idc what positive thing she does
My theory is that she probably like, convinced him and that their personalities merged somehow
Yeah
It is a weird plot point
There's definitely missing info there
I can feel it
Whose that in this case?
Yeah, really don't think Hoyoverse would do that
Something more is happening
I don't think Hoyoverse will care about victims of male assault
They just don't want to talk about assault in general
Makhaira
Lynette (kind of)
The flower girls from Ludi Harpastum
But I get what you mean
Hm, I was going to argue that those are more implications than direct things
But yeah you know what I mean
It's in the manga
Or some aritifical creation maybe
Since he had stars in his eyes
Also they would hold a festival where essentially the nobility could have their pick of women
No they were always like that
It's not mentioned they changed
But if he was pre-existing then yeah they probably changed
Yeah, feels like we're missing info
Still
I don't think Hoyoverse is going to acknowledge the fact that it is assault
And most people won't give a damn either
Everytime I bring this point up people will say "well actually that plot point is just there because Hoyoverse would get censored for having a queer couple"
But its a stupid fucking plot point anyways, and I doubt that they would be censored for having a sort of niche background lore character who we probably won't meet be queer
Otherwise Jeht would have been removed from the game already
Wait she was gay?
Where is it said that the unnamed youth got their star shaped eyes after possesion
Looking at the wiki article it doesn't mention anything
Yeah, thats my point
So why do they have to have this weird ass plot point about the possesion
I mean its probably going to amount to something but its still weird as fuck and I hate it
Like I said earlier I feel like they'll just reveal the boy was just a vessel she made or something
Because I just can't see them writing her as that to be intentional
Iiirc some years back there was an event that had a girl write a valentine's letter to Jean
Lol
You can't but I can
I don't think the boy was a vessel, I think he's going to be related to Khraun-Arya
Yeah he probably will be
But how we don't know
I don't see how any of those screenshots prove that
She had that reaction cause of the Voyager in him
I doubt she would have seen every human in her kingdom before
Yeah but the Voyager's pressence is what shocked her
It was the main thing not the eyes
It was to link the boy to Khaenri'ah probably
Justice for the kid, Seuter and Koitar can both go rot in hell
They're searching for Seutervoinen not her vessel
Isn't Seutervoinen a fucking like
Octopus creature though
She's "non-chordate"
They could still be looking for her
No it isn't
She was there as a spirit
When she talked to Nibelung
Was she?
Doesn't mention her posessing a dragon
But then how did she commincate with Nibelung?
Well I wasn't implying that but maybe she came in her true form
Yes and that's what Surtalogi is looking for
Her spirit
Wasn't a ship
It's just a vessel containing her body
Leaked Seutervoinen design reveal
I wanted to um actually you
If
We are to assume pale Princess is a metaphor for Koitar and Seutervoinen
Which I believe it to be so
Then the boy and Seutervoinen is the Light Prince
Meaning they could be hidden in Irminsul
Yes
I think Seutervoinen's new vessel is Pierro
But he's in control she's just a voice that gives him advice
Abyss
Phanes, duh
It's always Abyss
Could be the six pygmies
Uh
I don't know??
I'm not aware of Changeling/Nod-Krai/Snezhnaya lore whatsoever so
No not Nibelung
Disasters
Because they thought Nibelung was associated with disasters after the Funerary Year
It was pygmies not changeling
And changeling is not even any specific kind of fae anymore it's just name used for fae who have been interchanged by human baby at birth
Even for ajax we don't know what kind of fae pakkusuika was now...
Speaking of Ajax and light prince they do have similarities but also multiple differences
I'm sure one of those aspect do match but then it could be that pale princess story is just combination of multiple people
I think ajax is just like gunhildr/knight of boreus...a name/title shared by multiple people across history
With og being the 3rd descender
That would explain multiple legends
Jack Frost are the furthest from looking like human they are the first one to cross out...
Pakkuisuika was a changeling remember meaning he replaced human baby and took their place at birth...
Its not about reproduction it's about appearance
Lumi is jack Frost we know how they look
They're not human like at all 
We'll see in snezhnaya but I'm 90% sure it's not jack Frost
All pure elemental beings can
Fae at birth replaced by human babies aka changeling...
Yeah I'm sure they're so pure that not even one months old baby fae changes their appearance to look like human
Not even linnea could do that but pakkusuika must've done so I guess 
Linnea was a lil baby and child
She just hasn't learned how to yet
I mean the name implies they might just be birds
And pakusuika was also a changeling meaning he was also replaced at birth
Besides we're talking about jack Frost being able to do that
There's no learning here
Random idea I just had
Imagine if we got Nibelung's full design in Nicole's character teaser
Unlikely but could you imagine?
Yeah
But we also knew he served the Hyperboreans
Hm
And had to hide that it was only when she was little and her wings hadn't grown that her human parents were duped
Alright we can just wait 
Yeah probably but her lore links to him
There are two mention of jack Frost so far none have human description
Her into mentions him I mean
It didn't fail
The rebellion caused his return
Doesn't say their rebellion failed
Also it's just a fairy tale retelling and not literal for what happened
They fled after Nibelung returned
That's why they tried to make Saarelainen
And succeeded
The timeline is unclear
He's probably immortal so he could have gotten cut up years after the Funerary Year
He could have been like 1234 when he died
Maybe he was a baby
Or still being made
He was reborn as an infant
Assuming he's Ajax
Yes
But there were other factors
He was made to "merge with the world"
There were survivors
Also the Abyss was there
To be fair
No we literally see it in a flashback
The rebellion lasted until the Funerary Year
No it wasn't
It happened during the Funerary Year
No it was Hyperborea
They say so
That failed that's why remnant of hyperborea started their cult practices to continue their og goal
Which led to Reed another failed experiment
Yes, Avrelian is a recreation of Saarelainen
That's why their corpse parts were both carried around places
Well both were overrun
I doubt it
Both are same place
It's used interchangeably
Yes and it's deep under the frozen ice too
We see it in the Archon Quest
Still Hyperborea
And it happened before Funerary Year
So Hyperborea was crushed some time during Funerary Year
Yes
Because Hyperborea was around in the Funerary Year
It was only crushed after
Besides the Archon Quest
Also because it had Abyss in it
Still means Hyperborea existed during the Funerary Year
Alright
So the rebellion hadn;t failed yet
Sure
Phanes shot themselves in the ass by cursing all the Angels though
And Nibelung taking the Moons wouldn't help
They may have had to fight against Nibelung too
Since Seuter didn't like the Abyss
Phanes, Nibelung, and Voyager
Canon helped the remnant of hyperborea aka frostmoon scion
This alone is proof enough that rebellion ended before funery war as canon was dead after the war ended
No all the Moons were teleported out by Columbina
Canon is just the only one who lasted long enough
Oh right I forgot about that mb
Some people survived the nail drop
So she saved those guys
We see it in the flashback
When the gang are exploring Hyperborea past to try and find Columbina's name
It's during when we see the Nibelung and Three Moons murals
There are always some survivors
Dragonspine had some survivors
Tsurumi had some survivors
That's assuming that people wouldn't have vacated before which they did
Those who remained got nuked though
Not all of them
lemme get the screenshots
Here
The Moons are dead (post Funerary Year) + Hyperborean
Hyperborean not hyperborea
They left the og place it got destroyed
They are the remnant saved by canon
The palace sunk underground the frozen sea
I'm sure the kingdom was big enough that some place survived the nail
You can see the debris as well it's not in perfect condition
Yeah and it had some survivors
Looks like Enkanomiya ngl
That's because the architecture of unified civilization was the same
They look very similar to each other
Yeah
I more meant the general darkness surrounding it all
And ambiance
Only the girls got antlers though
Sexist fuck
I'm guessing voyager helped Nibelung get out of the void sea
Probably sent signals or coordinates of teyvat to him
I wouldn't be surprised if that was the real reason for PO nuking them 
Want spoilers from leaks?
Yeah
I'll wait so no spoiler 
K 👍
"Hello this is voyager I asked you to leave teyvat with me did you decide yet?.. "
Nibelung be like "bitch I'm stuck in void sea what do you want from me?.. " 
Phanes after destroying multiple love story
He made people and people make cocaine and meth so by extension, yes
He's got that "I tried assaulting my own wife" aura that Phanes doesn't have yet
cz Phanes has no wife otherwise he'd have done that like he did it to everyone else
Phanes just assaults their kids
Like a fraud
Uh I should probably emphasize that I'm not talking about physical assault
Yeah I know...
Uh
Anyways how are you all in this fine Sunday
Good
I'm bored out of my mind personally
Yeah I know that feeling
Ah ok, I haven't read the chess boss material
Not specifically from my Rerir prediction
It's just a thing from alchemy
Hmm
There's also Sophia and Christ who are in Gnosticism a "Syrgzy" aka male and female emanation of God
Notably in Genshin a Syrgzy has to do with the Moon Sister stuff
Sophia is also referred to as the "Bride of the Lamb" but the bride title isn't meant to be literal, it's just a metaphor for the church
Oh yeah, you're right, but I just mean that the spellings are very similar, lol.
The lamb is meant to represent Christ/Jesus.
Is that like mentioned anywhere in game lol.
?
Logos is PO's symbol in the artifacts, right?
Wdym
Ah
Hymns doesn't say he
Barbra has crosses on her clothes
This means crucifixion is canon
Jean also has crosses as earrings
"God of gender unknowable"
That's reaching I feel
King is gender neutral in Genshin
Both Rukk and Nabu are called kings in Genshin
Those two and Deshret were known as the "three kings" when they ruled together
Femboys are sins against God confirmed
That's why Barbatos is the Archon closest to the demiurge Phanes
Well he seemed to have some in with the Shades in general
The only one who comes close is Zhongli and he doesn't have any Shade temples in his territory that we know of
Hih
Where is lucifer mentioned in genshin
Or are we talking about koitar
Lucifer is probably Koitar
Fraud doesn't even have her temple in his land
Venti is everyone's favorite child
Yeah
The Nameless Bard somehow took Istaroth's power on his own too
Shocking even her
The Asmostein files
No he wanted to prevent Decarabien's power from exploding everyone
And he did it
I think he wanted to sacrifice himself
Or knew that he would have to
No
Where is it stated
Yep
It also killed him
Getting exploded by time powers doesn't sound particularly pleasant
Yeah
He did die but his identity was lost
Winds carried by time or whatever the phrase was
"his body fell"
That's how you describe someone who died
And the artifact set
He died
His name got removed from history
And now only Venti remembers him fully
Well Istaroth has partial control over it as a Shade
The name "Venti" might be the Nameless' name for all we know
Istaroth didn't know he took his powers
No they just now associate it with Barbatos' identity
She wouldn't really care since the Bard died soon after
The price was paid
Ronova was punished for making the Night Kingdom
Yeah but I meant his human bard identity
And Xbalanque was kept secret by her
Istaroth prevented his story from being carried
Death of a name
He did die physically
No it did
"Stories brought on the wind will bloom into legends in due time."
Without time the story never bloomed
Only Ronova can grant immortality like that
He was a peasant living in Decarabien's city
It did reach the tree it was just left hidden and unknown
Venti does
Because he took on his appearance
Istaroth's power just effected the surface
Yes
But he is still left behind in some way in descriptions and stories
It's only his name itself
Unlike Rukkhadevata
The Bard is still there
To an extent
They're both removed from history to an extent
Yes because Irminsul was directly impacted
Idk much about Gnosticism
Yeah
I could see it being the case, I've seen some theories about it
But right now, the main theory I have is that Capitano is Jesus and Sophia is going to be whoever the name in the Pyro Gemstone is
And that the Demiurge is Mavuika/the Pyro Archons
But it is a very massive crack theory
Well, when I say Mavuika is the Demiurge, I don't mean she is the the Demiurge, just like, Natlan's Demiurge
Phanes can still turn out to be the real Demiurge
My understanding from just reading on wikipedia is that
Sophia tried to do something without her Syzygy, or in some other myths she was trying to understand the Monad, but she failed, was about to die(?), and the fear of her own death causes the material world and the Demiurge to be created
The Demiurge creates the physical world, but before Sophia is banished she secretly infuses a "spiritual spark" (pneuma) into his world
The spiritual spark I believe will definetely tie back to the Allogenes and vision users.
Yes, but, in the context of Natlan
The Natlanese when they die, go to the Night Kingdom, not Celestia
So I think the spark is for the Natlanese to be able to ascend to Godhood without being tied by Celestia, does that make sense?
In comparison, Venessa ascended to Celestia, but Venti sees it as a bad thing
Now, idk how that ties into Demiurge Mavuika, but I have a feeling that Mavuika's plan is to change those rules of Natlan with the Archons?
But, the Demiurge is said to be unaware of Sophia, and what she put into his physical world, so Mavuika will do it unintentionally as a mistake, idfk
Like how Decarabien was Mondstadt's demiurge
No.
D*ttore mains don't deserve rights
Anyways, I don't have a lot to add
Sophia's name literally translating to "Gnosis" is also interesting
Be insufferably annoying
God I wanna get the new Tomodachi life so fucking badly but I don't have a switch 2
Yeah 😔
Yeah
Well, actually
Well, ok
When talking about the Spiritual world and Irminsul, my mind immediately goes back to the moon palaces and how souls used to originally go there
I have a feeling, that maybe, Irminsul might be burnt down, so the original Moon Palace can be rebuilt???
Not trying to paint Zantinydik as a good guy here though
But I do have something to say in regards to the moon palace, and that has to do with the boatman in Inazuma
Well, the Boatman mentions a "Lady of the Golden Hall" with the Golden Hall being the moon palace
And he's there to gather the souls of the Tsurumi Island people
We know from some new dialogue in the temple of space that there were multiple "boatmans" and that they would all be tasked with bringing souls to the moons
The Boatman doesn't seem to acknowledge the fact that souls now go to Irminsul though, he still mentions the moon palace.
So could the moon palace still be "alive" and functioning in some way? And who is this Lady anyways? I don't think she'd be one of the moon sisters, especially if we assume that somehow the moon palace is still "alive"
There's also the Schwanenritter Knights from Khaenri'ah, and how one of them has the title of "Sentinel of the Golden Hall", but I don't have much to add about that, but its worth mentioning
Tsurumi Island did have a weird time warp thing going on
So maybe that could be why the Boatman was confused
Yes, why?
Yes I know
Idk
Where did Dragon's souls go before the Moon Palaces came to me?
Does it matter though...
A topic forgotten since neuvellette...
Actually wait pyro also was trying to but it failed
Yeah nvm...
Boatman in tsurumi was ghost version no? Like what we see in nod krai with hyperboreans...
Basically mirage from the past...
It's likely the reason they wouldn't know about events with irminsul and souls after the war
@odd thicket did you talk with the writer that has ??? as name on top of library in new map? Who're they?
Where was this info? I didn't find anything about it...
Yes with ??? as name
I'll send later then not playing right now...
Maybe Khaenri'ah had some connection to the Golden Hall (or one of them if there were three) since they had the Crimson Moon in their kingdom for a time?
Also the Moon Palace could be outside of time in some way like the Moon's reflection is I'm guessing
Lauma got her's at birth
I'm finally playing through the Temple of Space btw
It's pretty good
Yeah
They're just some guy
They're not important
Khaenri'ah as a whole has afterlife connections considering you get a quote from Dante's Divine Comedy at the gate
...Like the Apathetic Interval in the Temple sort of...
But condensed
Khaenri'ah may have been a "blind spot" in some way
That's my theory
Because Dain said the gods' gaze didn't fall there
It was similar to it but not identical
Yeah but maybe they wanted to avoid getting strong ambitions to be free of fate/visions
Remember what Rene said about visions?
Why keep it mysterious then 
I first thought it's auther of Vera's Melancholy but the way the cage notes talks about him he probably got out so can't be him
Just talk to him bro 🥀
Probably yeah
But it could have been a precaution
Maybe "dying" early freed them from fate in some way
We see Khaenri'ahn relics in the Temple
A field tiller at least
Still
We also don't see any Snezhnayan
Though that could just be limitations 
Or were they truly? Well Vedrfolnir implies it I guess
But there is something odd
I did it doesn't reveal his name nor what he's writing...
He just think we're some woman(forgot her name but you can find her below she's the former queen) and wants us to not disturb him
Kept talking until he gave us chest and that's it...
How fate works in Genshin is getting more and more mysterious
In the Luyang Academy?
It isn't. It's pretty confusing
The library top at small house
Yeah I talked to him
Did you do the painting puzzle next to him?
Uh no...i didn't see the puzzle
How could it still exist when Phanes is dormant?
Or why would they design everyone to rebel against it?
That might unlock more dialogue idk
But fate is governed by the false sky
And constellations
But the False Sky is Asmoday's power
Yes I know
He became a tyrant to try and make humanity stronger for some grand purpose I forget
Also became a worm
I don't think PO is that though
They're the demiurge. They're unaware of how they're small in the grand picture
It's like the 4 stags of Yggsdrasil maybe
All 4 Shades are the 4 pillars of fate
In some way
No it just records things
I'm talking about this guy...also where's the puzzle?
Oh no not him lol
Yeah I haven't gotten to him yet

I thought you were talking about someone else
@odd thicket this the guy I was talking about btw
That's because the "memories" of two Durins couldn't co-exist
Also speaking about the Ley Lines I found something interesting
No there's no puzzle here
His identity is left a mystery
You do get a chest if you keep pestering him though 
But the false sky won't disappear when Irminsul does
So they have to be separate in some way
Where does it say that again?
No he says vindia it's the former queen of uh some place during remurian era
Btw I found something interesting
Let me qoute it..
She says she's queen of Uxellobrogi
She was puppet queen basically
Her kingdom surrendered to both Remurians and High king of Aremorica...
Yeah I remember her
She calls people of Aremorcia barbarians 
This description
Why tf does it say there "was" a tree that stretched to every corner of the world
It's a small detail but like, why
Also I just realized all the "Irminsul trees" are silver when the actual Irminsul we find is either pink or blue
Or the fact that PO modified the leylines
Maybe?
Yes, the original Dragon Irminsul too
Also there are Ley Line sprouts near every Nail impact site
Or most of them at least
I have a theory but again it connect with greater imaginary tree lore of hoyo games...
Basically the og leylines of dragon era were branch of Imaginary tree
But that created a problem as now teyvat could be found by abyss along those branches
PO basically by making synthetic leylines cut off the connection of teyvat with Imaginary tree this made teyvat hidden from the approaching abyss
Untill the whole Nibelung Voyager episode where the location was then revealed and abyss came anyway
Teyvat being linked to the imaginary tree directly would explain why Nibelung was so special
But the original dragon ley lines are still around partially, they're just "modified"
That doesn't really say the sky was completely destroyed though
Some holes probably would have formed
Cause the Sinners would have poked holes in it
Or at least Surtalogi did
Unclear
The Cataclysm only happened when the Sinners took their power
Yes and then the Sinners took it
I'm most confused about the time line placement of Rhine's kids though
Cause did she make them as a Sinner or before?
Only like half a day
The Cataclysm lasted an unclear amount of time too
Bakunawa literally tore her into two piece she wouldn't survive that if it was before becoming sinner...
Not to mention both bakunawa and durin appeared after cataclysm started
Also the Bakunawa had "transcendant" abyssal power
Even rifthounds were said to start flooding teyvat after cataclysm started
👍
I imagine his death caused the Abys to explode out of him
Also it triggered the "traps" he laid around the kingdom
Used them as a channeling device
He probably intentionally died
Since how could a being as powerful as him be killed in combat by 5 normal dudes?
Oh yeah
Not nearly enough to defeat Irmin
Also not all of them
Most of his power would have been concentrated on keeping the wind wall up
Also Irmin is way above Decarabien
Two coughing babies vs hydrogen bomb
What was he doing
Not in a direct way
If you read durin story lore you'll understand what Rhine actually did with these creatures
See they are abyss consciousness lingering in the cosmos
What rhine did was bound these consciousness into her "creations" made out of alchemy
The combination of teyvat alchemical creation with consciousness of abyss is what led to these abyss monsters like durin/ bakunawa etc
Maybe he knew he had to die so that he could truly ascend
Like Ajax
He had to be reborn
So he let Dain "kill" him
The consciousnesses are from the unfufilled fates
Durin was probably the unfufilled fate of some dragon killed by Phanes
Same with Elynas
So rhine might be working on her alchemical creation already before cataclysm but the binding of abyss consciousness only happened after she became sinner
In short durin bakunawa etc couldn't possibly happen before cataclysm is what I'm implying
I agree
Well she made the Rift wolves before it
Since we see Rerir fight them
Also we know she fed the failed Albedos to Durin
Yeah rifthound were lesser consciousness and we know khanerriah already had apaosha in their lake so Rhine definitely had experimented with them before
Although the flooding of rifthound again only happened after cataclysm
It make sense though sinners power just magnified the scope of her ability
Yup for Rhine that's alchemy
Probably yeah
We have to keep in mind that events don't happen instantaneously after all
Coming to khanerriah from other nation itself would've taken much time for arhons not to mention preparation before going into "contaminated" area
Remember makoto only went to khanerriah when the "news" arrived... Who know show much time it took for the news to travel too
But definitely enough for sinners to leave the zone zero
I mean yeah signs were there but the scale wouldn't have been predictable
Otherwise they would've stopped it before it's occurance
She didn't fight it
Tenoch and the 6 heroes did
He did went inside the spiral abyss deep underground that's where he possibly died
Possibly
I doubt it's another
The world quest last survivor of Tenochzitoc doesn't mention her in the final conflict at all
It talks about king of fae who United the continent
That's literally Belyi Tsar
Also iirc they didn't want her to fight in the conflict because she was too valuable to die
Not really
Tsar is confirmed to die at khanerriah
Glider just add lore around that in lore way
It shows all the heroes were there
On the thrones with the weapons besides them
He had his own throne
If Mavuika was there she would have a throne
Yes
Because he led the conflict
The note from Reed quest I forgot his name the guy who was impersonating him...
She was
Talking Stick says Tenoch was the one who summoned them
The heroes
That Tenoch led to fight the Bakunawa
She was too valuable to die
He agreed to her plan to shove herself in the flame for 500 years
That's about it
That was after Bakunawa explosion killing Tenoch and Sanhaj
Last Survivor doesn't mention her
They would have been stretched thin
Baku was fought by 3 individual only Tenoch, Lord of Night and Sanhaj
Mav already got into sacred flame for future travel
It wasn't made by her
It was made by later archons who would've mentioned if she was there
Mavuika wasn't there
The trailer doesn't show the fight
There
Were
The ones who helped repress the Bakunawa
In the interim between Mavuika's first term and second term
Mav wasn't present during the fight otherwise it would be told she was there
Game doesn't say any of that though
It doesn't.
That was in the interim before a new one emerged
There was no one immediately after Mavuika flamed herself
It doesn;t show the battle they had with the Bakunawa and whether or not Mavuika was there
No Tenoch and Sanhaj already sacrificed thenmselves
Yes
He was
He summoned them
He didn't have an ancient name though
Bakunawa could twist the time so his presence in time period of previous archon is not questionable
However after sanhaj tenoch killed him and venti blew mare jivari off the timeline there wouldn't be any other episode of him anymore
Well he got the biggest throne in the temple
Yes the ones after Mavuika first got flamed
Since they maintained the Bakunawa's seal
Yeah I posted tha
Ah ok lol
They could only be in the interim
Bakunawa was sealed in Mavuika's term
Thee had to come after
Since they're maintaining Bakunawa's seal
Dumbass
There were
The temple mentions them
Bakunwas was AFTER Mavuika
The archon room that sealed the entrance to mare jivari area was made by multiple successive archons
Mavuika is Archon
Bakunawa is sealed
Other Pyro Archons maintain seal
That's the timeline
Yeah, they even mention "Kiongozi has been gone for a decade" which likely refers to Mavuika probably
Yes.
It's a matter of inference
They could only come after her
Because the Bakunawa was first defeated in her reign
The temple was only made during her reign
^^
In the screenshot I sent
Last Survivor of Tenochzitoc
In a subspace
Until someone became Archon again
Which they did
But they didn't enter the temple
The Archons in the temple maintained the seal
Because the Bakunawa happened under her
How do you not understand this
No it wouldn't
The Temple was made for the Cataclysm
That's why it has the thrones of the heroes and Tenoch
Stone Tablet: ...I cloak the Enigmatic Land, and shroud this palace...
Stone Tablet: ...only the legacy of heroes may awaken... — Shulevitz
Temple was likely built by this guy
Ehhh, I don't necessarily disagree...? I mean, I have my own theories on the Pyro Archons, but current evidence suggests that there did come Archons after her
No Tenoch and Sanhaj just exploded it
No because Bakunawa travels into the past before the seal
They didn't blow the Mare Jivari off the timeline
Yes during Mavuika's era
Only into the past
Not the present
Bakunawa's destruction across the timeline was the reason tenoch and the team decided to end him and venti seperated him across the time
Wanderer troup episode is just one part of his destruction
And then the Archons after Mavuika helped seal it
Keep it sealed
No there was no seal
Because the Temple wasn't made
Not the Temple that's modern
Because it's stuck in the Mare Jivari
Since it got blown off the timeline
No they scattered him into pieces and the area of mare jivari was sealed by venti
The real mare jivari was seperated by natlan through night kingdom that sanhaj summoned
Archons temple later was build to act as a seal for this night kingdom area
Yes
She just said it was in a pocket realm
Created by Sanhaj 500 years ago
Her suspicion around temple comes because the place was a secret known only by archons
She even says she'll ask mavuika about it later
Temple is not on the same space
It's in natlan only why would it travel to past?
Mare jivari is the place that's been thrown across time
Yes only the True Mare Jivari time travels
That's why Enjou wants it
And temple was built only after baku was thrown across time by venti
It doesn't have a seal
The seal is for the fake mare jivari area aka mini night kingdom
And temple was build to act as that seal
Real mare is just gone from the time it doesn't exist in current time
That's not how it works
Venti didn't send it to some different time
He removed the space from time big difference here
It's like he took a page of a book and tore it off
No what you said implies taking page number 28 and fixing it to become page number 8 or something
Time traveling is still part of the book
Bakunawa was removed from the book itself
You said it's possible for someone 2k years ago to meet mare jivari not true is what I'm saying
Wanderer troupe episode happened when baku was still part of current time
I'm saying after he was sealed it's not possible for teyvat people to get into mare jivari anymore doesn't matter which time past or present
Why do you think enjou said only through flesh of bakunawa you can go to real mare jivari?
It's like moon prison you can't just go there...its different timespace all together
You need special powers
Maybe we can ask venti to do so for us I guess but enjou couldn't so he had to use baku flesh
Temporal disruption happened during cataclysm
Baku travelled across time during cataclysm
It was only after that it's power was known that they decided it was dangerous and venti got involved
So no wanderer troupe didn't happen after cataclysm it was during it
I don't think the Bakunawa itself could have traveled to the past, as in outside the Mare Jivari it's just that people coming to the Mare Jivari from the past would have encountered it
If it was the case, then the remaining Mu-Natlans who didn't set for Mondstadt 1,000 years ago would have been dead already, no?
Because they were all killed in the Cataclysm when the Bakunawa was created.
I'm not good with time travel stuff, so please correct me if I'm wrong.
It was created to burst Baku from inside yes but nothing to do with enjou using Baku flesh to gain access to real mare
The space got distorted basically
So you remember how in space and time quest we followed deiredyth? And later spacetime from 500 years ago was merged into current?
Basically the same Baku was merging his surrounding across spacetime
Oh ok
I mean, I'm ngl I didn't really understand the Space and Time quest either but I'll take your word for it LOL
To give an example imagine you're walking along the road and suddenly you start feeling heat and when you look around your environment is all lit up by flame and you see a big dragon in front of you
That's what happened with wanderer troupe more or like 
The area where they were resting 2k years ago was the same space where Baku appeared 500 years ago
Two spacetime merged basically
In even more simple terms let's just say bakunawa can do what istoroth/venti can except it doesn't have brain and it's purely animal instinct 
It can't control the powers
Ah, I see that's a better explanation then lol thx.
Mare entha what?
What's that?
Oh this yeah but we got to see one where Bennett was no?
Area where his constellation was fixed
It was basically seeping into the teyvat spacetime
I bet enjou will do some shit which will let real mare back into teyvat or something
Ngl I was expecting this summer update to give real mare but now they ain't even releasing x.8 anymore 
Imagine how I'm feeling
I don't even give a damn about Nod-Krai, Snezhnaya or anything
Like I've been waiting for the Mare Jivari to come out ever since 5.3
I'm suffering
I don't check any Genshin reddit stuff
I mean, I just don't interact with the Genshin fandom anywhere aside from the wiki and this channel so no
You could've just said that in beginning 
Instead we went on tangent and started talking about spacetime... 
We'll be waiting for long time now
Not until snezhnaya arc gets completed most likely then only

End me now atp
Yeah but you said same timeline which made it confusing 
If it makes you feel any better
We just got some Golden Hall lore
Share IMMEDIATELY
Diotima's dialogue in the Temple of Space
Also, idk if I told you already but this next part is some spoilers in case you want that
Oh I knew about that already 😭
Vedrfolnir's villain speech
Is it leaks warning ||about the 6.7 area? Yeah you told me||
Hm yeah you already know
Yeah, I'm very excited.
Well, I was just saying in general that we got more lore
^
Ved after struggling forever finally finds the true mastermind... It's his future self 
Reminds me of movie plot where hero is the villain 
Shizo version being future self but yes
Archer from fate type shit
Hi daily tholindis oomf :)
Yes LMAO
Its oomf
for the yumeshippers
Really? I search up tholindis on tenor and scroll down a bit
Plus some of my gifs are there lol
LMAO
Yes! Ive got a few more too from bilibili
They do!
Id love to send u more lol
No offense to people who like Tholindis but I don't see how people think she looks like a playable character
Like to me she's no different design wise from the direidyth girl from the space and time quest idk
LMAO
I would argue she looks a little better than direidyth (bc her design got reused for minnie) and so far tholindis is unique, but playable Tholindis is extremely copium
I doubt it
LMAO
Yea until ved shows up in 6.7
Trehee
Quiet
But were all good
No delusional coping
Unlike a certain other subreddit
🤭
Ahhh
Classic khaenriahn writing curse
Either ur fridged or nope the fuck out of the narrative until its time to conveniently need them again
LMAOOO?
Who is this
Fair enough
If we meet another npc this upcoming dain patch that only exists just for that and die off itll probably be in that category lol
Unless fucking asmoday shows up
Or worse
Vedrfolnir
Halfdan, Clothar, Caribert, Direidyth
Damn all these Khaenri'ahns dying for the sake of the plot
And theyre all in traveler/dain quests too
Better hope ved doesnt show up teehee
Or he might be the outlier
Is halfdan important to the descender's lore though
GODDAMNIT VEDRFOLNIR
Oh???? Really?? Explain.
Uh
That one
Irminsul???
I don't know
Oh ok
So you're saying he caused the upside down city..?
Also, was the upside down city originally part of Lang-Gan do we know
Like Remnants of Lang-Gan before it was destroyed
Oh, right I forgot about that
The Inteyvat flower deal
The flower in Lumine's hair
Yes, it was literally the first mention of it if I recall
Lmao
Rerir's obsession is getting the huzz
I mean shes a baddie i understand the crashout too
It's back
whats this version's event about anyways
weapon con
Wdym
Ah ok
Old news...where's the real Liben? 
WAIT, LIBEN IS BACK THIS VERSION?
😔
Great but also disappointing
Is he voiced this time? I feel like we've only heard him once and it was the only other time he appeared NOT during the box of marvels event

Sweeeet
He's voiced yes
Well they can't all be winners
The kids who wanted to plant vegetables???
Show me a screenshot
Fuck that sub
It was probably ironic though
Zibai ain't even loyal to Celestia lol
I want someone to make a dragon agenda sub already ngl
*1 Shade
Istaroth isn't loyal in the slightest
Naberius is Rhinedottir
Only Ronova is loyal and she's going to get her ass beat in Snezhnaya
Look at this bullshit that I found
Just don't even bother arguing
Apep and Xiuhcoatl got turned into zombies
I'm beginning to think about just commenting the Israel flag under every post of theirs
Also Nibelung was at least sane enough to not immediately kill the Moons when he came back
Who knows what his actual plan was upon returning
Israel has higher meme factor these days
Yeah
Or the Qu from All Romorrows
Yeah but before he knew about that
Like when he was a couple light years away still
He wasn't but he was like Xiuhcoatl
Dying with moments of clarity
Yeah...
Save us Moon lore please save us
He was turned into a "half-alive corpse"
Idk maybe they had some telepathic connection
"only its gray corpse shambled on"
Maybe it was like how kings ingest poison in small amounts to become immune or something
But he accidently took too much
He was also a dragon though
They're light beings who don't mix well with dark
Or he got into some big battle with it or something
Wonder if he made contact with the andromeda empire
I think he probably made contact with the Traveler's planet and gave them technology
Would make things come full circle in a good way
Not millions
They have seen stars explode but that doesn't mean they waited an entire star's life cycle
They just saw one from a distance
It was a complete coincidence though
We don't know when Nibelung was born either
A burnt planet wouldn't have much potential
"Continued its journey"
Had no potential though
It didn't
It had no potential
It was a burnt rocks
Maybe cause it realized Khaenri'ah pulled the Sibling down or something
Idk
So the timeline is this
Passed by Teyvat
Sibling somehow disembarks
Ship returns, crash lands on Nod-Krai
Traveler gets woken up by Sibling during Cataclysm
Ship gets taken to the moon
Were they?
They traveled around Teyvat with Dain
Asmoday does at least
Where is that stated again?
I mean the two visits could have been in fairly close sucession
For all we know
Hm
Sibling could have been dormant on Teyvat until being awoken by Irmin
Not traveling
They played with the Aranara post Catalcysm
It's been like 3 years since I played the quests I don't remember them lol
Tbh I wouldn't really like that but it is possible I guess
Also suppose what events they interacted with
My interpretation was that it's predicting the future
In the future of the story the twins will hold hands and Irminsul will bloom
Wonder what 6.7 will have
The whole "Luna X" naming scheme was just to avoid the 67
What the fuck is this gif
Idk, some bullshit
Btw, I was looking at the wiki for the Mare Jivari again, and there's this
It's an interactable you find near the Bakunawa arena, I thought it was interesting
Well, assuming Snezhnaya will be the real 6.X patch
Which will be confusing as hell and I will still refer to it as 7.X
Then there's a change for them to make that """"joke""""" in the future
Yeah
Well, I was thinking that maybe that those etchings were alluding to lore on tje Mu-Natlans and maybe the Phoenix, not stuff regarding the Bakunawa...
Well, what about the supposed structures in the distant they mention
Could be related to the Phoenix civilization
Perhaps Enjou's homeland too or something
Though it could be an extension of Natlantea
I think the phoenix is probably related to the dragons
I mean the pyro vishaps devolved into bird-like saurians, phoenixes have fire, and reincarnation/emerging from the ashes is very dragon coded
Maybe the phoenix was one of the dragonlords or something in a new body
It's also Istaroth and Asmoday too seemingly
Hm, doesn't Istaroth mention the twin in her Lunar Arcanum?
Abyss Sibling I mean
"The "Wheel of Fortune" turns ever onwards,
But there are things which are never forgotten,
Things that can never be destroyed.
At least, I am willing to believe so.
Just as you believe in reunion with her."
The her is probably Lumine
Who else could it be
Istaroth is taking directly to the reader, which is the Traveler
Also Lumine
Makes 0 sense
Lumine is the one portrayed as the Abyss Sibling 90% of the time
No it does
Reuniting with Lumine is Aether's whole motivation
In the trailers
Lumine is the Abyss Sibling
They can't do it with everything
It's assumed to be Aether
Because that's what it defaults to
Only in dialogue
That used neutral pronouns I think
With trailers they aren't going to release two different versions with different pronouns
Istaroth is talking about the Sibling
Doesn't make sense with anything else
Why TF would Traveler be searching for any of them
That is the you
No
It gets the point across
Traveler doesn't know anything about the Voyager
They have 0 connection
It's brain dead
Traveler doesn't know them at all
Nothing
Nor are they searching for her
She was also in a male body last time
Are they? I don't remember them searching for her...
That's just cause they hadn't seen Nod-Krai until that point
Surtalogi ordered Skirk to look for her
Where...
