Stupid Counter arguement... Maybe it's just HEAVY "Physical" Power charged? Gold has near always been the color of charged attacks among all characters. Being instead of the combination of elements, being the absence of it into pure power. Course, i know absolutely nothing really, this is more just observing the color showing up in different ways, and the "light element"/ Traveller's power never having real canon explanation on what exactly it is or comes from. I guess this is kinda an Occum's Razor i'm using? Dunno! Meshing with the vid calling it Reason, maybe Pure physical power is "Reason"

I still think the twins come from another world they literally were trying to get out

natlan does not have a god.

Reason's opposite is not delusion. It's emotion. The oposite of delusion is reality. So... Big flaw with the hypothesis, there.... The Traveler's sibling is not a descender, because (s)he is recorded by Irminsul. While the Traveler is not. But maybe that's because (s)he died (and then got resurrected). But they likely could use the same powers, as we are... Someone mentioned it sometime (sorry, don't remember who and when) that we seem to habe the same powers as they do. Aranaras were saying it, too, I think. Now, about the power... Why it is likely to be light of some sort: Lumine and Aether. Both name meaning light. They are references to the 5th classical element (fire, water, air, earth, aether). Which was cosidered to be some sort of light. Luminiferous aether is also a theorised medium for the propagation of light and gravity. Luminiferous meaning light-bearing. It was supposed to be the thing the universe is made out of (where no real matter is - like in space). It should also be the opposite of void... So, it is not light exactly, but more like the matter of the universe before it takes specific shape. This, the fact that we are called a star and in the opening scene have 6 wings, like an angel in gnosticism (which is a huhe inspiration of the lore) all supports the theory that our power is indeed light. How can we use it sometimes, but not always? Well, if you think back, first, we had no idea we had powers. Then, we accidentally used it with Dvalin's tear and since then tried to use it on purpose, which got easier and easier... Our normal attack before resonating with wind is also called past memories, suggesting that we forgot how to use our power. Once we resonated with one element, we gained some control over matter and we got more of that with each element. Just as we get more and more experience in fighting and so become stronger opponents... About Childe, he for sure has stronger will than Teppei and I am certain it makes a difference. He is also a vision bearer, while Teppei and Diluc's dad weren't. Clearly, when it comes to controlling powers one's willpower gives the base. When Kazuha became determined like crazy, he suddenly could use 2 visions. While Beidou could headstrong her way through cilling a monster without a vision... We, it seems, win the headstrongness race. I would also like to point out, that Sustainer has red cubes and it engulfs her gold cubes coming from her hand. It is consistent with alchemy, where rubedo trumphs citritas. A well-known alchemist also says, the almighty of Christianity shines gold, but once Christ was resurrected from the dead, he wore a red crown... Meaning with all this, that we didn't reach our true potential, yet, and that the Sustainer was stronger than us because she did. But the game's name and dropped lines left and right suggests that at the end of our journey we will reach the level of rubedo, too. Btw, missing elements from the namechard are: void, light, the two arke from Fontaine and whatever Dains has.... Maybe...

Hey, I am the author of the theory posted on Reddit that you linked and I enjoyed your video a lot. For me it is surprising that some parts of it still kinda make sense although it was probably even before Fontaine that I was fixated on that evolution thing. And then we learned that modern Fontainians were indeed genetically not real humans. But Natlan lore is really complex and it’s somehow hard to digest, esp now that we learned that dragons had their own really advanced civilisation

1 and a half years later, and you were absolutely close to the Truth miss blue, really impressive.

This makes so much sense

The people of Natlan being unable to leave the city or have bad things happen to them because they would be outside of the protection of the archon or whatever sounds a lot like the cataclysm pushing half-blooded or immigrant khaenri'ahn's into teyvet and out of whatever 'protection' they had from the curse (maybe related to leylines) caused them to turn into hilichurls. A lot of people think the purple crystal is the soul of the dragon king or whatever and like other descenders (such as our traveler) have the power to cleanse the abyss and thus was keeping people safe from abyssal corruption in Khaenri''ah, but was also corrupted by the abyss and used its powers to corrupt the minds/soul of khaenriahns and maybe the shadow material world was being swapped out for the realm of the night in the khaenri'ah to try and ressurect the dragon king but in turn brought all the corruption from the realm of night into khaenri'ah and thus pushed everyone either into the realm of night to be corrupted OR pushed them into teyvet where if they were half blooded or immigrated would turn into hilichurls. Also its worth noting that Dragons are from a place of pure elemental like the light realm and we found out in natlan that pure elemental power negates/purifies abyssal power. It's possible all pure blood Khaenri'ahns have this purifying ability to an extent with descenders having the most elemental compatibility or ability to manipulate multiple elements. It's possible that our travelers are indeed dragon descendants or have some form of dragon blood in them. Its also possible that Descenders are different in the sense that they can manipulate both light and dark energy making them fit to maintain the balance of teyvet and the material world and the leyline world (as we see that the 'darker' energy seems to connect with the subconcious, leylines, memories and such and needs to be cleansed in the physical world as it creates phyiscal 'filth' and 'mud' like seen in the chasm and around the sakura tree).

I think the sword the traveller use might be his original sword

Wait... am I haluccinating or does Aether have that star thing on his chest aswell?

this was my first assumption as soon as they told us about the gnosis' being pieces of a descender. that the gnosis' were our sibling and the abyss sibling wasnt a descender because they were a fake/copy

Somewhere on the other side of Teyvat, a certain devoter of the "Fake" Primordial One and Simp for a Herrscher of the Void lookalike is trying to deny, let alone counter, this theory.

a short crackpot theory i had abt the pureblood khaenrians is that theyre the ancestors of all the humans in hoyo’s other game, tears of themis, as they all have diamond shaped pupils

When you think about it. The humans created by Egeria were cursed to revert to thier oceanid forms shall they come into contact with primordial water. Any children they had also inherited this curse. This, to me feels alot like the curse of the wilderness, where people who "forsake" thier God.

Me thinking of building traveler after Every traveler theory

Interesting theory😊

Gonna refer to he Primordial One as PO for simpleness. There is actually proof in Before Sun and Moon that humans or humanoids existed before the PO, quoting "Forty Years After the Held Branches" chapter of the book: "The Seven Sovereins were vanquished, and the seven nations submitted to the heavens". The last part of this sentence and the recent Natlan lore about pre-PO era, we can say that there actually was a civilisation, even an advanced one, showing us that it has existed for a long time before it was destoyed by PO. And with this, we can assume that this civilisation found a place on Teyvat, that was later named Khaenri'ah, to escape PO and all this alien invasion, taking all the knowledge that they had to construct all that machinery that we can see all over Teyvat now. And if this and your previous theory about the twins origins are true, then we can explain why the twins have wings, why Traveller can wield all the elements and why the Traveller is a descender and the sibling is not

I’ve had this theory too! They were all driven underground by the PO. What if the PO was created when the abyss tainted the primordial sea?

I think khaenriahns are just evolved vishaps

Or Perinheri is just wrong about the curse being linked to betraying your god. It's a fictional book and that sounds like a made up explanation. And the derivation of the human race as all being from a destroyed homeworld that the Twins and the PO both came from just got re-confirmed in the new wings. Rather unsubtly at that.

I feel this is the case. Something tells me Teyvat isn’t just made up, but literally one big storybook of a God who can’t remember who they are. I want to say Paimon is connected to the Twins via 2 options, their creator (Primordial One) or their collective power (twins are the Primordial One’s children). I feel like the twins being the first humans of Teyvat make more sense, it explains their abilities, and the fact they were told they’re not from this world originally was to confuse them; at some point they were compromised by Celestia and likely were forced to leave. I think Alice being the storybook witch guide adds credence to my view, every year Alice comes up with a new way to explain information, I assume they cannot be told directly because Celestia, but Alice (also not from this world), manages to make a playable quest that explains in a way the exact information she wants us to know. Add in the fact we connect to domains via a terminal, and have these checkpoints…it’s all connected via the world tree, but how is that were the only ones that see these checkpoints and use them? All these anomalies point to the twins being the original rulers, and the character cards indeed provide proof. I wouldn’t be surprised if the twins actually created this world with the help of the dragons, but their memories are suppressed too. Notice how Zhongli’s archon statue item is called “stone of remembrance”, our traveler still doesn’t have their full memories; I think the archons have memories that are being suppressed by Celestia too. This also explains why the archons tell us information in pieces, they know more than they tell us.

Interesting video! Personally, I think it's the other way around - the "pure-blooded" Khaenri'ahns are the descendants of the humans that came with Phanes/were created by them, and the ones that turned into Hilichurls are native to Teyvat. For the longest time, I've had this idea that the Curse of the Wilderness is not a curse at all. Rather, it's just the people of Khaenri'ah returning to their original forms - not unlike Fontainians becoming Oceanids again. The Abyss Order didn't turn into Hilichurls, Mages and Lecters - they just reverted back from being turned into humans, though none of them know the truth, so they think they've been cursed. This falls in line with the Abyss and Hilichurls having apparently existed in Teyvat way before the Cataclysm, and possibly even before the Primordial One. It also explains several of the "demi-human" species of Teyvat like the Hakushin and the Tighnarians. So in a way, Celestia did create humans... by basically making the species of Teyvat into humans, in the same way that they supposedly terraformed Teyvat to make it inhabitable by humanity. Also, it never made much sense to me that Celestia punished Orobashi and the people of Enkanomiya for finding Before Sun and Moon. if anything, the book makes Celestia and Phanes look good, like defenders of humanity against the Sovereigns and the Abyss. So why would they try to hide that information? Well, because the writing on the "Ark's Opening" era has information that could lead to what I said above. One thing of note is that the terms "our ancestors" and "the people of the Seven Sovereigns" are used a few times instead of simply saying "humans", which leads me to think this could be a deliberate distinction. Finally, here's some text from In Light, Beneath the Shadow, another book from the collection of Enkanomiya: "With only one mouth, this being sometimes has four feet, sometimes, two feet, and sometimes, three feet. Though unable to morph into other things, it is able to walk on the earth, swim in the water, and fly in the sky. The more feet it walks on, the feebler it grows. What is this being? Answer: A human." That part about morphing... that's kinda weird. It could be just a way to lead into the rest of the riddle, but the implication there would be that morphing (not evolving) into different things is the norm for lifeforms in Teyvat, and that only humans can't do it. But if so, could other things turn into humans? Well, after Fontaine... we know the answer is yes.

0:05 I'm sorry I can't take Clothar seriously anymore after seeing countless guides with this man and his elongated arm 😭

i completely agree with you and can see two possibilities: 1) humans evolved alongside dragons, but never claimed to be rulers 2) khaen'rians are dragon heirs (vishaps maybe?), dragons could morph into everything

I was just thinking the exact same thing yesterday. Btw you're theory about this deserves some recognition and i think not alot of people realize how important it is to talk about "Humanity" on Genshin Lore since imo Humanity is more important than the Abyss Celestia and even the Archons

Fontainians are the true humans, considering that Nuevalette is the one who made them into real humams

I have had the theory for a while that they were the original humans of Teyvat and the Primordial One brought the other humans who now resides in Teyvat to Teyvat but I’m not good with piecing theories together yet

The name used by the Vahumana Darshan is actually Dahri instead of Dhari

i always suspected that the dragons had civilizations of their own, a single, unified one. When I was exploring Enkanomiya, I had a hunch that the former Hydro Sovereign wasn't at all a scary, violent being of the depths for... Some odd reasons (mainly, inconsistency in the narration) and I deduced that he stayed around with the survivors alongside Istaroth on his own volition (probably interested in these odd little aliens, since it's pretty canon this dragon had a heart of gold and was a nurturing, loving creature since he was the original god of life) and I guess that it was at that time he was slayed. Probably being already very wounded from the ordeals above. But my whole point is: I THINK the khaeri'ans are actually dragon-related. Can't really explain why this is each time an stronger opinion, but until proven wrong, I'll go with it. And Natlan confirms that they WERE ORGANIZED AS A CIVILIZATION so I wonder if in the "evolution" process of thing, they did not evolve into human-like forms? I mean, Neuvillette is said to have EVOLVED into the shape he has now... Sooo... It that GARGANTUAN trillobite evolved in... Let's say, an annoying little onikabuto, maybe that's what the fallen dragons evolved to? Tbh, Apep's fungus were already starting to talk and they become more "complex" as they evolve. Who can't say they wouldn't become a plantsim (sorry the joke) in due time if Apep didin't dislike humans so damn much?

Hey! Good video! Hope your doing well. We're still on the same page! I'm definately linking this video in my fic chapter #18 & #20 - if your still ok with that? Will copy this over to the usual place, in case YT chooses to nuke it. Chap #18 is already posted - I'll just edit it and add it in.... again: if your still ok with my putting your links in it. Hopefully I can post chap #20 before my spine surgery on October 25th. If not, it will be after I recover from the surgery.

The single civilization before the gods arrived is now known to be that of the Dragons. I doubt, humans existed during the time of the Dragons' reign. It's possible the Khaer'ahns were the 1st created humans of the shades, but overtime, sin began to multiple, creatures wanted to become human, whether through cross reproduction, self evolution, or self modifications etc. That caused the humans true blood to dilute into the humans of today. Another possibility and one i believe more, is the Dragons that ruled before Phanes came, were the original creators of humans, that's why Khaeri'ahns have serpent like pupils. When Phanes came and overthrown the Dragons civilization, it also throw the dragon humans into the ocean (the fogotten realm). That's why Khaenri'ah had no access to the sky they once knew their whole life, Celestia covered up all the evidence and now pretend to be the first to create humans in their image. The current generation of Khaenr'ahns have lost most of their history except for the few rumours that survived.

Omg some of these thoughts are so unique and true!!! The erosion/karma curse stuff?! How is this the first time k heard this idea in alllll the big lore videos!!!??! You’re a genius 🙏🏻 :)

Heeeey~ good to see Blue cooking again. In this contex, i think that at least Khaenri'ahns, Fontainians, and Natlantians (plus traveler duo) are native. The longshot im aiming for is that human and vishap were both memory-hijacked by Irminsul back in the day. That human and dragon was all part of the natural order of the world, and celestial didnt do squat except set themselves up as a cheap imitation of what the dragons were

Love your logic & references in this video! I hope more people get to hear about your lore videos - you deserve that!

Wake up, babe, Blue just dropped a theory video

HIIIIIIIIII

I think the traveler's element is one of the 2 standard hoyoverse elements missing from genshin, Imaginary. Meanwhile Dainslief you could not pick out of a lineup of the other element, Quantum. These are two opposing elements that have an annihilate reaction to eachother, but do not interact with the other elements. If that sounds familiar, yes, pneumaousia are these elements. the game just doesn't want to call them that. As to what the traveler is. I subscribe to the theory that he's a wishing star.

Anterograde amnesia real life disease

And it is already confirmed the abyss twin is from teyvat.

The day people realized that childe is the third descender, the day i die in peace

No 😭😭😭 Yaoyao is going to become and Adepti, Baizhu & Changseng will become immortal and Qiqi will have her forever family 🫶🏼🪻🩷

Seeing this now is interesting. The humans breaking free from the gods is just like the simulankans breaking free of their tracks, just like the god of fate intended! Does this mean the primordial one intends for the humans to break free once they're ready? Also the hexenzirkel created the end of the world in simulanka; perhaps it's an analogy for the sea of flowers?
