lauma + flins is a way better combo than lauma + nefer

and flins requires very little account investment to function

Well, almost right

the first descender is Phanes, the second is Voyager, the third is Saarelainen and the fourth is the Traveler

do we even know if descending was even a thing back before the current fate system was implemented?

The way I see it
Phanes changed the world
Nibelung tried to "sustain" the world by reverting it to its original fate
Nibelung failed
Nibelung does not meet descender criteria

Some are, some aren't

lyric fossil

"Once upon a time, the titan craftsman of the skies once wove the destinies of all living beings, the golden harp their instrument of fate."
"That was the divine plan of the heavens. If it were followed, the entire world would usher happiness in."
"Yet even the ignorant can dream, and in her dream, a new future revealed itself."
"She saw men raise a tower to the heavens, and from its heights, the tower's apostle waging war against the sky..."
"She saw roaring beasts, each larger than a mountain, breaking free from the bonds of the earth..."
"She saw three moons casting their light upon the sea, a sight soon eclipsed by an ancient dragon rising like a tide."

@thorn sun

#

Like PO did

thorn sun
#

My point is just that PO wasn't originally as heavy handed in his rule as he is now.

#

iirc

#

Before the war of vengeance.

plain portal
#

Originally Moons governed the cycles of teyvat
PO as 1st took control and created new system which we know as fate
2nd destroyed this system and PO had to recreate the system
3rd we don't know what they did but they powered gnosis so...
And as 4th we are constantly changing fate as the story progresses
All descenders (except for 3rd because we don't know most of their stuff) have changed the world order or are in the process of changing it

thorn sun
#

Relaxed fate rules -> Humans get uppity -> Bad shit happens -> New, restricted fate rules implemented.

But so far hoyo has used teyvat only for the world as well as continent under seven so A_HuTaoShrug

Dark Sea logically must be under the same laws

The Heavenly Principles cast a fake sky covering the whole planet and created a system that hijacks people into a concept of "fate"

It would be incredibly nonsense if they're just "Oh no we are powerless against anything beyond these arbitrary borders"

The most likely scenario is just that yes the Dark Sea is influenced by the same planet wide rules, but Celestia never bothered to a stake a claim on those areas, probably because as the name suggests, it most likely is mostly just water

Yeah then celestia never had a god establish themselves in nod krai

Wonder what name would be the belyi tsar ‘s

Also Celestia doesn't even really care about if a place doesn't worship a god, they were leaving Khaenri'ah alone until they started dabbling in abyss blasphemy

Nod krai is part of sneznaya according to sneznaya.

stone portal
# thorn sun Nod krai is part of sneznaya according to sneznaya.

Many Nod-Krai citizens themselves acknowledge it as part of Snezhnaya geographically

Because there's no reason not to, the continent is divided into 7 nations not 8, they don't seem to have any uncategorized land, so Nod-Krai has to be counted as something

#

And because the original inhabitants, Frostmoon Scions, came from Hyperborea which likely is located somewhere in modern Snezhnaya, it is natural to link themselves to that nation rather than either of the other two bordering nations, Natlan and Fontaine

thorn sun
#

And Genshin acknowledges it.

#

"Just because it doesn't have a ruler doesn't mean it shouldn't be ruled." - Sandrone on Nod Krai.

#

It's all bullshit.

thorn sun
#

We also see it played out with the Fatui bullying the frost moon scions.

stone portal
# thorn sun It's all bullshit.

Autonomous regions are not some wild concept, they have always existed, and can still count themselves as geographically part of a larger nation, while not acknowledging any government

Just because Russia/Snezhnaya claims bs, doesn't mean the region's status as both autonomous and within another nation are exceptionally odd

thorn sun
#

With Lauma (literally Lithuania's goddess of land / fertility btw) saying they'll not hand over anything to the fatui and will draw a line in the snow with their blood.

#

The parallells are blatant here.

#

I did not think Genshin would dare go so hard on this concept, but they are.

stone portal
#

Nod-Krai is Snezhnaya geographically, because the Teyvat continent doesn't have uncategorized land

Simple as

#

The Fatui now want to extend this to "we rule Nod-Krai because of this" but that's a separate issue

thorn sun
#

Or it's just Nod Krai.

#

Like most people call it.

stone portal
#

It is Nod-Krai, located in the southern part of Snezhnaya

The game also describes it like this

#

Hell I imagine Nod Krai came about because of the modern Ukraine war.

#

It's a region that did not exist as part of Hoyo's planning 5 years ago.

#

And it specifically highlights the countries that have historical beef with Russia irl.

thorn sun
#

So perhaps Hoyo felt it necessary to change their plans for Snez.

lyric fossil
#

Wait

thorn sun
#

No it didn't.

lyric fossil
#

In pale princess

thorn sun
#

They changed a bunch of the story stuff a year or so ago.

#

The whole space ship arc came out of nowhere.

#

They tweaked a bunch of the lore to accomodate Nod Krai.

lyric fossil
thorn sun
#

And yet it came out nowhere that we had a key on our person ALL THIS TIME

#

And just forgor to mention it.

#

Hoyo adjusted their writing to add more layers of depth to it and to speed up the lore progression towards the endgame.

#

Because they realized people are starting to stop caring.

#

That's why we suddenly got the gods limit trailer, it's why we're now fighting a sinner, it's why the moons are max focus now.

#

Hexenzirkel is getting involved for real. So much lore progression.

plain portal
#

I mean they literally released entire dev stream to explain the same they were too slow before and only now are increasing the lore into the main story

thorn sun
#

Yeah.

Fuck, I need to stop procrastinating and speed run through that 11 hour archon quest

#

Natlan was a big blow to their playerbase and they're taking steps to do better.

plain portal
#

Kinda sad cause natlan lore was peak

thorn sun
#

I liked Natlan's area, exploration and especially character kits.

#

The story had decent moments.

#

But overall I was mostly skipping it.

plain portal
#

I guess with natlan they found out the hard way that most players don't actually read lore and you need it in the story itself to keep their attention and hype A_WheezeTao

thorn sun
#

But honestly I genuinely think they had initially planned to group together the baltics + Finland + Ukraine into Snez as a whole.

#

But then the war happened and doing that now would be uh, controversial af.

#

So instead they split Nod Krai off from Snez's arc and are presenting it in a much more nuanced light.

lyric fossil
thorn sun
#

It's a guess.

#

So far the way they are absolutely mega shilling Finland of all countries is fun af to see.

plain portal
#

In the lore nod krai was levelled by the nobles of sheznaya so take it as you will

lyric fossil
#

levelled ?

plain portal
#

It was remote borderland and was used as well for expansion into the area by old tsar

plain portal
#

Let me get it

#

"...In those days, the land was leveled by the northern Hunting Winds, cutting down the unruly frontier folk at the behest of the despotic Knyazes.And in a bid to seize the power left behind by the heavenly moons, a mad monk who spoke in strange tongues presented a treacherous plot to the Tsar of all fae.
Thus were the Moonchildren, hidden in their mountain forests, scattered, sisters driven by fate down divergent paths. "

thorn sun
#

That's recent enough to be after the rewrite isn't it?

plain portal
#

Yes

thorn sun
#

Also yeah that's giga old times.

plain portal
#

Yeah I meant the plot of nod krai being in opposition to sheznaya is in the lore itself

thorn sun
#

But the way they're depicting kuutar (finnish moon goddess) as having been part of the fatui, but was ultimately used and betrayed by them

lyric fossil
#

and judging by pale princess nod krai was always gonna happne

#

happen

thorn sun
#

Is just like, very on point for Finland.

plain portal
#

Like lauma has very good reason for doing what she does A_WheezeTao

lyric fossil
#

it is the moonlit forest

thorn sun
#

And seeing Lauma say the "line of blood in the snow" is VERY on brand for the baltic states 😭

#

And Finland for that matter.

#

It made me appreciate her writing waaay more.

#

So it just feels like their rewrite added many layers of extra respect towards all the countries Nod Krai is meant to represent.

#

And I'm here for it A_HuTaoWOW

#

Ye they always do their research just fumble sometimes with execution
Thankfully not the case with nod krai so far E_pepelol

Dumb question since it's for a reddit hypothetical, but in the event that we (and it will never happen most likely) get a catalyst that increases Charged Attack speed, would it allow Neuvi's CA ticks to be faster ? I assume not and that they're fixed intervals and not tied to animations (like Beidou's passive and her CA animations), but still want to make sure.
