[1.5] What are Domains? - A Genshin Impact Theory

Upsetti spaghetti because after I finished this I found like, 5 other things I want to add in so I guess that's getting rolled into another video...

[@PawClow]

Don't know why but I always get an uneasy feeling whenever the Abyss lore comes up, like the secret of Teyvat is being unveiled and Celestia will silence us :P

[@michaelatbarnett]

That bit about the 7 archons and the 5 archons of the abyss is REALLY fascinating. Very good catch and very good video and lore delve, Ashikai!

[@spoopydraws8362]

This is one of the best and most grounded theories I have heard in a while wow, very eye opening and I cant wait to see more to this game

[@aaravia4904]

We do know that durin is a creation for sure, but there is another character in the game suspected to be created artificially. This character is Albedo. After hours and hours of digging, I've realised that these two may not be the only creations we've come across during this game.

[@redo3073]

HOLY you were right about heralds dropping ley line branches

[@niffleraku]

My theory with the domains since most of them have Kaerin'ahn writings and thematically match dain was that these really were just remnants of Kaerin'ah. I figured Kaerin'ah might've grown/spread really wide underground so that's why gateways to the domains could be seen everywhere in Teyvat, but this theory sounds more solid than mine lol

[@krislegionau4997]

I know nothing about Genshin so the first sentence hooked me and now I have to know more.

[@youzeeeee]

the game is getting darker and darker... i'm in awe

[@nine-ji2ub]

This really is interesting! The tiara sets that you've pointed out, I went and read its lore & got some speculation...

[@safeusername4925]

Would you look at that. abyss heralds and lectors did actually end up dropping leyline branches

[@reyfel11]

WOW!! This was one of the best theories out there. I loved your theory and I was wondering about domains too. I would also like to add that once you reach floor 8 of the spiral abyss, you start seeing some symbols on the walls which look a lot like the symbols in a puzzle in dragonspine. Also, in the part where the 7 archons rule the heaven and the other 5 rule the abyss, what if there were 5 regions in the abyss and we only know 2 of them as of now which are Khaenri'ah and the kingdom in dragonspine.

[@Saint_8312]

This is soooo underrated, best theories i've ever watched. Particularly the theory of the Abyssal Archons, that is very interesting. That is probably why in the Teyvat chapter's trailer video, Khaenriah isn't mentioned as the 8th nation but instead "??th"-chapter, because the Abyssal Archons may be introduced there (multiple acts, each act for each Abyssal Archons).

[@aloevera3975]

“& they gift us with memories of a time long past”, makes so much sense... the artefacts do describe past events and all

[@seansmith6380]

During the idol animation why can the traveller produce the same stars as paimon

[@aceslycer]

It's so refreshing to hear the difference between your old videos and now. You sound so calm here.

[@AcreKlein]

I don't really pay attention to the lore when I play Genshin, just on a surface level. Nevertheless, your videos are really nice to follow. I'm looking forward to the next. :>

[@cold4462]

I love these type of theory’s and honestly thinking about all the theories that people have made makes me question a lot of thing

[@bianca-ku4ym]

ive been getting into genshin lore and im so happy i found your channel, absolutely so cool to see the depth that the devs and everyone apart of the creation of genshin impact has put into the entire story. the story part of genshin is truly a fundamental and fascinating piece of work. i cant wait to see the end of the travelers story.

[@deathbrick3541]

I know this is late but I was thinking that there’s more to paimon. My theory is that somehow the traveller subconsciously created paimon through khemia when they first fell into teyvat. This is backed up by paimons galaxy cape immediately linking her to the abyss and also the travellers idle animations. Definitely worth some thought.

[@aguy3953]

I have a theory
