Ancient History of Teyvat - Primordial Gods & Dragon Sovereigns Before Sun and Moon | Genshin Impact

#HoYoverse #GenshinImpact #Genshin
Special thanks to Genshin Impact for sponsoring this video!
Before Sun and Moon chronicles the unknown history of Teyvat that ordinary folk have been forbidden to read. It tells the tales of belligerent dragon sovereigns, a war vanquished, the Primordial One, and a goddess whose existence was lost to time and the tendrils of a thousand winds…
Excited to finally show you this project I've been working on! Note that this video is an interpretation of the early history of Genshin as told in the Byakuyakoku Collection "Before Sun and Moon" and might not necessarily be accurate to the original Genshin timeline!

I have a strong feeling that Venti's second story quest will tackle the story of Istaroth as well.

[@Minsleif]

I really hope it does! 🥺

[@iDontReallyKnowTbh]

Oh ye- wait… does that mean we’ll fight Istaroth…? As all other archons second story quest unlocks a weekly boss… oh dear god…

[@chalkprinc3]

@@iDontReallyKnowTbh probably not since we had Razor's story quest to give us the second Mondstadt weekly boss. However, if they choose to give us three per region, I can see Venti getting one, Liyue and Inazuma getting a 4* story quest for one, and Sumeru getting the Kusinali Story Quest and 4* story quest

[@morax5015]

I wish.. I mean Im glad they are starting to touch Irminsul but seriously Genshin needs to focus more on its rich history and beings like Istaroth in it's next major quest or character quest..

Hi. My little son got a symptom of dyslexia. May I know how do you overcome this problem? Is there any specific therapy for this?

[@celtickitty6547]

@@farifairis7388 Can you contact the school that your son goes to & ask for their help? Many schools have specialists who can help children with all sorts of issues. Then you can get what's known as an IEP (individual education plan) that will say what kind of accomodations that your child is to be given as they go to school from year to year. You can also help by getting large print books & slow things down when it comes to reading & writing. So break up a story into smaller bits, write out a word at a time not a sentence at a time & as your child feels more confident you can increase how much they can do. There is no shame in getting an IEP or asking for help for your son. Let him know that having an IEP is like needing glasses to see things, it's a tool that allows kids to learn & grow.

Fake Sky theory: the Primordial one actually lost the war and the Second One Who Came/Heavenly Sustainer usurped Celestia and pretended to be the Primordial One.

[@grandcatofmagic]

@@kamveng453 To add to that, the Second Throne created Gods, and then had a war between the Gods to see which were stronger than the others. Those gods were called Archons. The war between Khaenriah and the Throne was the Primordial One trying to regain control of Teyvat.

"The winds that blow from afar carry fresh life to these shores" could be a reference to istaroth

i love everything about this! i've always listened to the lore, but ive never taken the time to read through 'Before Sun and Moon'. The art is amazing. This is great

[@markitosevans1955]

And now we know that the primordial one was a bit Evil and nuked ancient civilizations,so most likely he won against the second throne

I hope that hoyo decides to make this art canon as the dragons and the scenery are breathtaking. I can't wait for the next parts of the timeline.

[@ThatOneGanyuMain]

Great job here! They better make Istaroth playable or I'll rage 😐 I wonder if, since Venti is a Wisp of Wind from the Thousand Winds (which are correlated to time), he's sort of like a son to Istaroth? Regardless, I can't wait to have them in the same party.

[@XXXravenXXX]

It would seem to me that Venti is the "queen" chess piece... the Goddess of Moments, who, like Rukkhadevata, gave herself to King Deshret. So, she, by the thousand winds, gave herself to the people of Teyvat. Awaiting one who could answer the call that would lead them to open the secret gate hidden beneath Mondstadt to Khaenri'ah. All in hopes that, ultimately, a champion would rise uniting together all people to break the shackles placed upon the people of Teyvat by Celestia. Similarly, the way the Traveler did in Inazuma with the Shogun Raiden Ei, who oppressed the people unreasonably, wherein, the Traveler united with the people of Inazuma against the Shogun's tyrannical law and broke the chains that bound the people to a law that was no longer serving them.

[@elainasynranelt]

You mean istaroth. Venti is istaroth’s child in a way, since he is one of her thousand winds

[@XXXravenXXX]

@Elaina Synranelt [1st Apostle of Mumei] yeah, its a bit of all of the above...similar to Rukkhadevata and Nahida... the same, but different, but the same haha

[@XXXravenXXX]

I would say Venti is a "branch" of Istaroth as that might make my line of thought clearer to my meaning. As the archon quest impressed upon me, the idea of interchangeability with the term "branch". A branch is still part of the whole tree, not necessarily different. Though, our perception should be understood as limited through the lens of our humanity and thus described as a paradox beyond our ability to completely understand.

[@elainasynranelt]

@@XXXravenXXX It’s more accurate to say that he’s a strand

[@XXXravenXXX]

@Elaina Synranelt [1st Apostle of Mumei] How so? As the term, "branch" is actually used in game to describe the paradox of Rukkhadevata's transformation into Nahida.

[@7uzaifa]

I read almost all the lore by myself I just enjoy it but even so I can connect most dots by myself quite a sum of the stuff stay hazy so watching lore being told by someone else in such an excellent manner makes everything clear, of course i meant the whole channel with that, but this this is a masterpiece.
