[@mi.mapuchi]

Venti’s quest also foreshadowed aranaras from Sumeru ( whole stuff with imaginary friends and Lisa’s device from Sumeru that helps to see aranaras) and know we understand stuff with souls from Natlan. The fact that it was enough for Venti to find Stanley’s soul and dispel it in one minute while Capitano was suffering 500 years for holding these souls. Venti definitely has special abilities and powers, but he prefers to be a carefree bard. I really wait for his character development and reveal his true power. His 2nd SQ will have the craziest lore bombs ever

[@Discopandda]

Figuratively it means someone who can't read the room. For example, something horrible happened to your friend, but instead of sympathizing with them you just make a joke or just focus on something you find more amusing.

[@hanbeitakenakasama7735]

When I ran through Capitano and Ororon's storyarc during the AQ I couldn't shake off the feeling that it is too similar to Hans Archibald and Stanley. It's much more apparent when you realize that the Mare Jivari is located in Natlan, and then it hits you: The spirit of Hans living on in Stanley is very real and he cannot move on because Natlan's Ley Lines are whacked and isn't letting spirits of foreigners to pass on into the afterlife. It also affecting Stanley's personality mirrors that of Guthred's possession of Ororon, though for Stanley it is subtle and took years, as if Hans was living through him. It wasn't just some person terribly missing his partner and idol and taking on his name and mannerisms, it was an actual side effect of having two spirits residing in one body.

[@the_knut]

I actually had a different interpretation. I don't think the spirit of Stanley Venti claims from Hans is the real Stanley. Instead, I think it's similar to the Guthred we meet in the Night Kingdom, a memory created by the stories told about him. But the real Guthred was in the Captain'd heart, and the real Stanley never escaped Natlan. Which makes my interpretation very sad, as that means Stanley's soul shared the same fate as the lost souls we encountered at the start of Act 5 alongside Xilonen and Citlali

[@Deedoubled]

​@the_knut it's a good theory but unfortunately it doesn't make sense becasue the story of Stanley would only exist if many Natlanese knew about him and also it WOULD be in the night kingdom already so it would have no need to stick onto Hans

[@sisters8a]

The only plot hole I find is when citlali is helping return souls to the night kingdom and says that if they don't go back they will dissappear. So, souls need to be inside the Ley lines - night kingdom to not dissappear, but they somehow survived inside Capitano? (well could be a thing about his heart being a Khaenrian device). But Stanley's soul? How? Why didn't it dissaper? Unless it was inside Stanley, but then, Hans would have been possessed. Like ororon. (Which isn't the case). The relationship between leylines and souls is intricate as is and stuff like this only makes my head spin. 😵‍💫

[@hanbeitakenakasama7735]

​@@sisters8aThe difference is that the souls Citlali are trying to save are disembodied. For Hans Archibald and those in Capitano, they are being housed inside a body, albeit one situation willingly and the other unknowingly. There is also less risk of the soul getting corrupted by the Abyss if being protected by someone else, but it does come with side effects (Capitano unable to sleep because of hearing all their voices and Ororon almost getting taken over by Guthred).

[@Deedoubled]

@ 1 distinction Guthreds takeover of ororn was extremely forceful and he made himself obvious. I cant imagine that Stanley would have the same objective seeing as he was a hero and Hans was his good friend. Second, the only reason takeover even occured to that level is because ororon’s soul was incomplete. The Captain’s soul is complete threfore even though there were mutiple souls stored in HIS HEART they could not vey for control. Stanley was simply attached to Hans (the guilt probably made it easier for Stanley to take refuge)

[@manodessuu]

Everyone talks about Hans carrying Stanley’s legacy, but I think the real standout is Venti quietly stepping up as Mondstadt’s Archon. Stanley’s soul being in Mare Jivari-a place Venti described as a desolate, windless wasteland-shows how far Venti’s reach and compassion truly go. Despite Mare Jivari being outside his domain, he still brought Stanley’s soul back for a moment to give Hans closure and honor the real hero. It’s subtle, but this moment proves Venti isn’t just a carefree bard; he takes his role as the God of Freedom seriously when it really matters.

[@kostakonomi]

Stanley's soul jumped to hans body he didn't stay in the mare jivari that's why venti managed to put him to rest it also explains why after the quest hans is still pretending to be Stanley as his soul got influenced by him for years

[@suds8235]

so when did mare jivari disappear? is stanley referring to the actual mare jivari he described or where it used to be because if they did go to the original mare jivari that means it disappeared while we were travelling teyvat and was there whenever stanley was adventuring

In the manga, if I'm correct, Venessa's (founder of the Knights of Favonius) tribe (they were called the Children of Munata) ended up in mondstadt and were enslaved by the Lawrence Clan (Eula's Clan). When Venti told Venessa abt the Lady of Fire (a previous pyro archon, her name was murata) Venessa replied, "The Lady of Fire?" as if she didn't know who she was At that time, those native to natlan who left the nation would face memory loss and emotional issues (like in this video) answering the question on why Venessa didn't remember her literal archon. edit: CHAT I FORGOT THAT MURATA WAS A MISTRANSLATION

[@captaindanger13]

It's "Children of Munata" not "Murata." Munata is what they named Natlan in chinese before they changed it to just "Nata" cuz they realized they don't need the "mu." So "Children of Munata" is supposed to be Venti telling Vanessa what country she came from. It is not a reference to who the archon was at the time, otherwise we would've seen that name "Murata" in the fake pyro archons voices the new weekly boss uses during the fight.

To add to that, it is highly likely that we will meet Venti before departing for Snezhnaya.

Still, it is also likely that the orange color was meant to represent the default-colored traveler, as the game hadn't even been released back then... ... but knowing Genshin's foreshadowing capability, I wouldn't write it off just yet.

[@danaanna9281]

Yes, Venti is the most sus of all archons. What he tells us at the end of Mondstadt's quest implies that he knows very well that we are a descender and that we are the hope of this world. What's more, throughout our journey, we often read “the winds from afar have annonced your coming/ a change”. And Venti is responsible, because he's watching our progress and helping us from afar, because he already knows everything. Which makes sense if we're in samsara. So it's not really surprising and it would confirm that Venti didn't give his gnosis but a copy because he knew the signora would take it away from him.

[@abohsukampret]

Or rather, he doesn't really need gnosis to show his real strength. If we look at the Archons so far, we can see that they're not really fond of their own gnosis. Zhongli is literally tired of it, Ei doesn't give a damn, Nahida just can't be bothered with the trouble of keeping two gnoses, Neuvillette & Skirk agree that they're generally bad things to carry around. Only Mavuika's holding onto it, because as a mortal, she understands what it takes to have godlike powers.

We're most likely going back to Mondstadt soon, probably before Snezhnaya, and get the biggest Venti lorebombs there are, theres too many signs. Devs did say we're going to Nod-krai first, and although it's technically part of Snezhnaya, I'm assuming that won't take just 1 patch since theres hardly any time in 1 patch for all the unanswered questions that have arisen in 4 years. Nod Krai is likely gonna be after 5.x (basing on the fact that we got character silhouette reveals and theres no snezhnayans among them so Nod-Krai is likely 6.x). Im guessing they'll use this opportunity to tie loose ends before we move to the big chapters that are Snezhnaya (as a whole) and Khaenri'ah. And during this time, we could also return to Mondstadt and get Venti's 2nd story quest, Dorman port, and whatever it is that Dottore is doing in Nod Krai (Mavuika gave the impression that Nod Krai should be big (not size wise, lol) and she specifically stated NOD KRAI and NOT Snezhnaya as a whole, and then there was also the mention of a new element that isn't one of the 7...) *There was also this photo event when we returned to the point the game starts and Paimon said smth about how at the end, we find ourselves at the start again... TLDR; based on all the info we have, my guess is 6.x is gonna be an opportunity for devs to tie all loose ends, a return to Mondstadt, as well as Nod-Krai & Dottore stuff, and then actual Snezhnaya arc "Everwinter Without Mercy" could very well start in 7.x.

Soul can posses others. Hans, at least, would not mind because of his guilt. Strong soul resist possession, but Hans would be invested in ensure Stanley's soul stay with him, at least instinctively.

[@JennLefrost]

Honestly if you do Citlali tribal quest there is also correlation. Spoiler below: So Huiztlin says that memory of other person that will make "colours" when weaving the scroll. Thus, the scroll can be preserve and the story will not be forgotten by future generation. Hans act as Stanley so people will remember Stanley as a great adventurer. So Hans also almost like preserve the "colours" or Stanley soul.

[@andrihusainsudra]

But instead of waving a scroll, he told his stories

[@stampergoeroe1384]

Honestly this makes Venti's story quest way better than it actually is.

[@jeroxama5877]

This channel never click baits and i love it

[@ivymondal9663]

I was thinking about Venti story quest while doing the archon quest too, how Stanley's soul followed his friend back

[@Zwizard247]

at least we finally got a reason after all these years why we never saw a natlan person in other nations since launch

[@rapcen3313]

Ventis stories ages like wine. The older it gets the better truly it is

[@Neeta-san]

Venti is definitely more than it seems.. The true Venti, Varka and Alice, they will definitely make a major highlight.

[@SytrixPlayZ]

We need Venti 2nd Story Quest fr!!

[@kaikouchickamatsu]

Holy crap this is so cool. I love learning about the lore in this game and how your actions affect everything else. Love it.

[@lunaerum]

Rarely do I ever take the time to comment on how good a video is, but this one deserves it. It was precise, short and concise, and you showed the scenes that backed up what you were saying. You crafted an EXCELLENT video here, and you should be proud. No run-arounds or pointless information, you went straight to the point. I pride myself in knowing the Lore of Genshin, and your style is one of, if not THE best style for lore videos that I have seen. I think other lore content creators could take notes from your style. Bravo, kudos to you, I hope to see more of you in the future.

[@angelaziegler1320]

Venti def knows a lot about Ronova, Istaroth, Seelies, Heavenly Principles, Khaenri’ah probably even about fake sky, true nature of Teyvat, OUR origin, Dragons, Dragonspine, Hexenzirkle, The Abyss Order, The Abyss and basically everything. He probably just want to keep himself low for safety. Mondstadt is (I think) the only Nation that didn’t suffer from Abyssal invasion 500 years ago. At least not to the same critical level. Liyue (the chasm), Inazuma (Sacret Sakura), Sumeru (dessert), Fontaine (not abyss but primordial sea), Natlan… how he prevented Mondstadt from destruction 500 years ago?!

[@toawing]

Venti is definatly keeping things to himself and I'm sure that the remainder of the four shades will be important in future.

[@kurokyuu]

That's great to know that Natlan NPCs are all over Teyvat now. Have to grab some dialogs today~ I'm really interested if near the end of our story we must go back to Mondstadt to enter the final Part in ~1,5 years.

[@asterionmt]

And then "some" parts of this community tries to convince people that the writing team had rewritten or "forgotten" plots in 1.x versions. Patience people!

[@Jaxv3r]

I can understand them, if they did this quest 4 years ago, most people who would have forgotten it by now, unless you play the game this year or last year

[@Ventis_lore_eater]

Frrr, they don't trust mihoyo (which is understandable)

[@Yozhio_Sunny]

The fake sky has been told since 1.1

[@JolineLola]

Maybe if hoyo did a better job at story telling this wouldn't be such a big issue, I like genshin's lore and story but sitting through it is such a pain in the neck, especially with the long filler uninteresting dialogues and lore crumbs hiding in the most random things or events in the game.

[@weeewohoo1685]

But it is true tho lol

[@GuyWithAnAmazingHat]

Leylines carry memories to the Irminsul, memories are what we become when we die, that is the form of the soul, Irminsul is basically the afterlife. When someone is stuck with the souls or memories of someone, it's because they are mourning and can't let go, it is depressing for both parties because the soul is holding back the person and the person is not letting the soul go. Natlan has come up with a way to mourn the souls of the past by remembering them as heroes and honouring them, collectively letting go and letting souls become great memories. Natlan is a story about remembering our history and legacy, honouring the great deeds of ancestors and those who came before us. It's about how a country's peace and culture is built upon countless sacrifices. It is also about how true Death is when one is forgotten completely, but as long as one is not forgotten, they will continue to inspire and help future descendants as memories and lessons to learn from.

[@da_riceboy161]

“I am blind but it is you who cannot see!” -Venti, probably.

[@Ayumu31]

This makes me even more hyped for ventis 2nd story quest. Who knows what it will be about. He has so many secrets...

[@hoerulisfab5088]

I feel like venti’s story quest 2 would be the biggest lore drop ever

[@Eva_Graces_Stories]

If we’re wrong about the story of Teyvat circling back around to Mondstadt, then I’m going to be VERY ANNOYED.

[@phanesisalive]

1:32 I think that it was not a war of dragons and heavenly principles, because at that time on Teyvat there were not even leylines (after all, they were created by the Primordial, as the Lord of the Night said). Therefore, the speech is probably about the war of the dragons with the Second Descender

[@RikkuHedervary]

@@phanesisalive ??? didn't Second Descender cause so much tyranny to the Heavenly Principles?

[@AhmadSaifudin116]

If the ley line is indeed created by the heavens, then what kind of protection the dragons used to fight the abyss? Since as far as we know the abyss (void realm) already exist since the dragon's time

[@agentese1285]

Então a Irminsul foi plantada pelo Primordial?

[@user-sq1oi9qp8w]

@@AhmadSaifudin116 1st war went for 40 years (dont know what a year constitutes) and dragons lost then dragon king brought forbidden knowledge from outside to fight

[@phanesisalive]

@@RikkuHedervary yes he did

[@RGabrielR]

As I was done with Natlan 5.1 quests I noticed I never finished Venti's Quest, so I got that revelation coupled together and made a lot of sense because I had a lot of context, now knowing of Capitano things made much more sense (yeah, it took me a VERY long time to get back playing Genshin and I jumped from Liyue to Natlan almost directly before finishing Inazuma)

[@mazako_]

It may sound weird, but in 1.0, after doing venti's story quest, I told myself that I have to visit Mare Jivari if it comes out, and just Natlan in general. And here we are, my favorite region since 1.0 is here at least, so I'm somewhat happy (didn't see Mare Jivari yet, since it vanished from the map)

[@alankoh1841]

Since mavuika uses power from the shades of death, would be true to say that venti might be using the power from shades of time. Wind will guide us, meaning venti has went through the story. Ehe, we meet again traveler

[@komi-samabeliever7319]

Now that I think about it. Capitano's story, power, and drip, and was host of countless souls resides inside of him. He's on the same level of a Dark Souls character man, the caliber of a protagonist in fact.

[@karma4859]

And people have the nerve, the audacity, to say this game is trash. Whenever I see stuff like this I am reminded why I love it so much.

[@animemax7788]

TLDR: Venti Story Quest NPC Hans carries his friend Soul Stanley who died on Natlan back to Mondstadt. It foreshadowed Natlan's Nation backstory, which was prepared 4 years ago.

[@squidychan]

Aside from Venti forshadowing the Natlan..has anyone observed that the stone pillars representing each tribe in Natlan have already been forshadowed in Enkonomiya 3 years ago? There are three mini stone pillars below Dainichi Mikoshi's tower and is guarded by 2 ruin guards. It was also a place where you could teleport to the top of the tower.

[@avaritia5677]

It warms my heart to see all these natlan npc's just living the moment and being finally free to go wherever they want

[@lime1452]

I just wanna say this as a genshin impact lore enthusiast (I'm not a player). From a manwha I've read "anything said is carried by the wind", so as the anemo archon he could really know anything said🧐. It's a stretch but I think it's a good one😅

[@uyabnuno8105]

Venti (Barbatos) may seem careless and easy going... but at the right time, he is a very helpful and wise character... maybe because he has lived for a very long time... he is even friends with the mysterious Hexenzirkels.

[@blakeeielrs8018]

Dang I had to stop the video because I haven’t done the story yet, but now I’m even more interested

[@omage3457]

Another cool thing is how this all relates to the quest with Azdaha since we know that the ley lines naturally erode and change course over time which is what resulted in Azdaha going insane and forgetting his pact with Zhongli

[@kiyomi_kamimoto]

Also teased the "I pretend to be someone else" for Ei and Furina, in a sense.

[@mazmuz987]

Remembering that Venti's second story quest hasn't revealed yet, this hold even more mysteries...

[@Littlegreenwitchcandles]

So much venti lore but no venti rerun 😂

[@JOSHUAj519]

Hope we also get to see more of Bennett’s lore. Maybe on Bennett hangout event 2 or Bennett story quest(We have 4 star story quests at the beginning of the game while most of them are from Mondstat so it’s possible) There are theories stating he’s from Natlan but unfortunately left the country since childbirth. Maybe this is why he has such bad luck.

[@luwirap]

Natlanese NPC suddenly popping around Teyvat is the best thing ever happened after completing the Archon quest! :D

[@anonymousaylin4609]

I love how people are saying that Natlans story was rewritten and stuff,but when you look at the past everything was foreshadowed and fits right in

[@justadragonnamemarcus1751]

Venti is really son of god of time and can see future

[@LegendShron]

I didn't even notice the change in teyvat surrounding people.

[@craaam4905]

Apart from the wind being mentioned in a multitude of places, if I’m not mistaken the Mare Jivari is also a place “where the wind does not blow.” So to have Venti, without gnosis, reach his winds to the “corner of the world” so easily-says a lot about him.

[@Le_Thalia_GeniusSociety]

Venti is a part of Istaroth's (The thousand winds of time) 1. Venti's power over wind is referred to, both by himself and by various descriptions in the game, as calling on the power of the thousand winds. 2. Venti was originally a "single thread of the thousand winds" before he amassed power and eventually rose to godhood and the position of Archon as Barbatos. Mondstadt’s Archon questline feels more like a prologue than a deep dive into the nation’s lore. Unlike the richly detailed stories of other regions like Liyue, Inazuma, Sumeru, and Fontaine, Mondstadt’s quest was lighter in tone and largely focused on defeating Stormterror and freeing Dvalin from corruption. Most of the region’s deeper lore is buried in books, item descriptions, world quests, and environmental storytelling. Unlike other nations, the Mondstadt story quest feels more like a prologue than a lore-heavy story quest. Most of the lore we’ve gathered comes from books and game descriptions, rather than the story quest itself. While the quest does provide some lore, it’s not as deep compared to the quests in other regions. For example: Sumeru: Nahida’s story reveals the connection between Rukkhadevata and the forbidden knowledge. Inazuma: Ei’s story dives into her relationship with Makoto, the Sacred Sakura Tree, and the effects of the Cataclysm. Liyue: Morax’s story explores his connection to Azhdaha, the Yaksha, the Adepti, and the Chasm’s mysteries. Fontaine: Focalors and Furina’s story introduces Egeria, the Hydro Dragon, the Melusines, the prophecy, and the Shades of Life-though there is still more to uncover. Natlan: Mavuika: connection to Xbalanque, Rovona, Wayob, the Lord of the Nights, Saurians, and etc. In comparison, Mondstadt’s lore from the story quest doesn’t dive into these kinds of deep historical or mythological revelations. Instead, most of the significant lore is scattered across books, item descriptions, and side quests.

[@HiraAmiq191]

Such a rich story for the land of Dragons. Truly remarkable. I somehow only connect to Kachina and Mavuika with the rest of Natlan NPC and not the heroes. Idk why...but yeah maybe because Natlan has so many secrets and unique way of survival. Thank you for sharing eventhough I don't play yet the Archon Quest. I still don't understand why Natlan has Night Kingdom. And now everything answered flawlessly

[@youdonthavetoknowsssh8154]

How crazy will it be if the Finale happen in the very beginning of the journey, Mondstadt? I mean much of Monstadt is barren, full of mysteries and the big shots are on an expedition or wander elsewhere.

[@Normalaatsra]

Anyone reckon Hans-Stanley was also undergoing a manic phase for hosting Stanley's soul in his heart, like Capitano? He was quite the character too in the Venti CQ.

[@felreizmeshinca7459]

Genshin writers definitely did a great job making us feel nostalgic while they experiment ideas & slowly reveal it vaguely.

[@trck1562]

bruh monstadt major problem we've done is just saving a hypnotized dragon. -liyue got childe reviving a water hydra -inazuma problem is the archon -sumeru above archon child and a tree -fontaine an archon again -natlan didnt play yet

Well, I have never seen animes foreshadowing so much like genshin does except for AOT and I love it.

[@GiantBUThead]

As I was playing the natlan AQ I remembered venti's quest and realized why the souls that die in natlan do not return home now. Still i'm hyped to see mare jivari and it's story, especially since they teased it in the citlali event.

[@Saihamaru]

just finished the AQ and thinking of looking for natlan npcs in other nation, but you beat me to it lol

[@nektoneizvestniy2050]

I am impressed and intrigued by the fact that Venti is one of the gods who has been to so many places. He had come to Liyue many times, been to Inazuma, and probably seen the Mare Jivari. I would venture to guess that the Anemo Archon visited all the nations of Teyvat. It seems that there are very few places that Venti could not reach. For the wind of freedom, there are practically no boundaries.

[@john2043]

That is really cool how they actually put them like everyone is traveling

[@Gabls]

Thank you very much for the content!

[@anthonymanggoi1337]

Given we just saw Ronova in this update and this video's on Venti, would you say it is 'time' for Venti's Second Story Quest to come out of the 'shade'? Get it? 'Time'? 'Shade'? Venti?
