Teyvat's Eternal Cycle of Destruction | Genshin Impact Theory

Teyvat will not burn in the fires of Celestia or be devoured by the cold maws of the Abyss... In the end, it will be the Fatui of Snezhnaya who will chart the course of the "New World". Of that much, I am certain.
The release of Fontaine confirmed several theories I had in mind regarding the direction of Genshin Impact's gameplay and lore. This video discusses Genshin Impact's World Building as of the 4.0 World Quests of the Narzissenkreuz Institute and the Institute of Natural Philosophy.
This video was originally about Guizhong but somehow I ended up with Alain Guillotin, Zhongli, and Il Dottore...
Thanks for watching 😊!

This video was originally supposed to be about Guizhong, but somehow I ended up here... Real talk though, the original version of the video is 1 hour and 40 minutes long. I ended up cutting out a lot of topics (many of them were already voice and edited lmao). I will include a list of topics that were supposed to appear in this video but got removed in case you care to check them out on your own (or just want to know). - Basically everything about Guizhong (the irony...) - Detailed story of Elynas - The Greek myth of Narcissus and Echo - The Greek myth of Hade, Demeter, and Persephone - Summary of Alice in Wonderland & Through the Looking Glass - Detailed discussion around the character design of Zhongli - Summary of the Narzissenkreuz Adventure World Quest Series - Details regarding Alain, Jakob, Mary-Ann, and Rene - Details regarding Remus and Remuria - A bunch of stuff about Alice (Klee's mom) and Morax - Basically everything about Xiao - Recap on the previous video - A lot of stuff about Jesus (Yes) - A lot of stuff about Yang Chen-Ning - Other minor topics I might repurpose some of those into different videos, however, it is extremely unlike to be anytime soon. I will talk about Guizhong later tho.

He's a descender, he's immune to Irminsul rewrites. But he also holds his contracts firmly, so they doesn't fear him turning on them. Yet.. he gave the gnosis willingly, even though he said there's nothing worth a gnosis.. So he believe that Tsaritsa plan is going to work

[@daechwitasuga3910]

@@Gabe-eu6sk Perhaps he's being careful not to anger Celestia again. It has been years since celestial nails fell into Teyvat and also years since the Khanreiah war. Like I said, I just feel like he's being held hostage by celestia if the rumors were true that he is a descender.

Man i wish this guy could collab with ashikai,they sure could pull out a banger , she's so deeply educated in the mythology and opera sides of the game while having a very good grasp on other sides ,and he's so deeply educated with well,i have no idea but idk? Scientific side of things? Or logical perhaps,while also having a great grasps on the other sides, ah gosh that collab would be something i dream about everyday.

[@IDontWantHandlesWTF]

Fuck no. Ashikai is biased af. She purposefully brushes past important characters and plots revolving around those characters due to her bias, and makes the ones she likes to be more important than they ever will be. Such as Kaveh who turned out to be an irrelevant character but because he's her favorite, she theorizes the fuck out of him with no basis, just bias. Another example is her latest video where she completely disregarded Childe's relevance in the archon quest as just an "easter egg'' because she hates his character. I never understood why people think Ashikai is a good lore channel, when she can't even make analysis and theories without her bias clouding her judgement.

[@shycracker]

Her depth located on her awareness of the 3rd party inspiration for the design and decision making goes on Genshin Impact. This guy depth located on the actual understanding of the Hoyoverse as a whole and it's influence on the making of Genshin Impacy game.

[@Indian_gae_boii]

ashikais videos are great don't get me wrong, but her videos are mostly catered towards casual players who are interested in surface-level lore or archon quest explanations, ashikai will only cover broader topics about a region but never go too deep into it, shes great as a beginners lore channel, as was the case with me but i feel like she dosent conver things too deeply, she obviously digs quite deep into the lore given how she often references deeper topics but she will not cover such topics because most of her viewers wont be intrested in say, what happened to gurabad in detail or the subsequent city states that came after,

[@ayanokoji9608]

@@Indian_gae_boii she doesn't cover deep lore itself in great details ,but her long recaps do ,unlike the beginner guides or quick recaps, and in the theory videos she's assuming we are familiar with the deep lore ,but her theories and analysis are very very good and deep enough as well .

28:25 if you think about it, that's what the Sacred Sakura in Inazuma does... And it has the same blue colour. Raiden Makoto was the reason behind its creation. Thus, it confirms that Raiden Makoto knew a lot about this concept. I feel this is somehow connected to why she decided to go to Kahreah alone, and also to her death. Maybe she went to Kahreah to get this technology to save Inazuma from the attack of the abyssal monsters?

[@mabilleaudrey2154]

They said all archons went to Kaenri'ah to destroy it

[@nawawii3750]

Makoto likely got the knowledge in the "Before Sun and Moon" from Orobashi. And what's in that book that's forbidden? Istaroth And considering that Makoto got help from Istaroth planting the Sacred Sakura at the beginning of time, it confirm that she got knowledge from "Before Sun and Moon". Remember how Istaroth helped Enka people create an artificial sun with golden power? A very powerful power source that doesn't align with any element? Imaginary power if you say. That's the power of the shades, and PO. Something not even archons can wield, but they can borrow if a higher power intervene. The Sacred Sakura filter filth in the key lines, isolate it, and and allow energy to return pure to Irminsul. Effectively removing monsters of the abyss, and anything else that's outwardly. The filth itself need manual purge, which MC does. As he does purify Dvalin tear, and many other things.

[@mabilleaudrey2154]

@@nawawii3750 It was the snake who discovered and became the God of Enkanomiya lol 😂 I don’t remember that Istaroth helped them to create the tower tbh because it was after the Archons war and Orobashi’s suicide against the Shogun Raiden. And at that time Makoto was already dead in the Cataclysm.

[@mabilleaudrey2154]

@@nawawii3750 he was forbidden by Orobashi looool because she was the only one who was treated by Celestia about read the truth about them! If Makoto really read it then Celestia would have destroyed Inazuma if Makoto decided to not die like Orobashi did for Enkanomiya. Remember no one knows about them because Phanes locked them away before the start of the Archon war. Celestia didn’t even gave gnoses yet to the Seven GOds so ho could she have knew about them when the book was underwater even before her birth? Beside you seems to have forgotten that this book was stolen by Kaenri’ah but no one knew about it because those who stole the books died at Enkanomiya and it was locked. So if they had the book I don’t see how Makoto would have learned about it 😅😅😅 Zhongli said that Celestia send the archons to destroy Kaenri’ah but no one of the previous Seven knew what was going on. There was two events going on 500 years ago. Kaenri’ah destruction and a attack from the Abyss :) As electro Archon Makoto and other were send there without knowing why Celestia send them here to contain the Abyss Attack lol 😂

[@zafkielvondegurechaff3634]

On the topic of Zhongli using imaginary energy. One namecard says that light can refract in many colors but people stop at 7 because they are lazy to count. All of that while having the 7 elements in the namecard itself. So with this is very clear that every element is just a simplified version of the light real or imaginary element so every archon is, in a way, capable of using imaginary energy

[@deathsinger969]

oh. my. fucking. GOD. This is incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I´ve never seen a Genshin Theory going this far and actually making sense, and trust me, I´ve seen many theories. I dunno what it is but i felt such a great feeling of awe during that last part, like omg it makes so much sense and I love it. Thank you for your incredible work!!!!!!

this helped piece together a lot of teyvats world together for me, like i thought the new fontaine mechanics were out of place but its cool to see it existed this entire time. 😳😳 the different cultures use this same concept in different ways

[@treecycle268]

dang, this actually starts to make sense, when the abyss energy is in a chaotic/undefined state and celestial energy being ordered under certain "heavenly principles", or Teyvats law so to speak, then it would make sense that the state inbetween these 2 would be neither chaotic nor ordered. It would simply be undefined or raw (in this case blue). And if you have something that is neither fully chaotic and is undefined, then it should be relatively easy to assign a definition to it and turning it into a defined state, for example into the fire element like in Deshret's places.

39:59 and yet, despite all of that... There are still dummies out there who think Raiden is stronger than Zhongli.

[@darkreunion7882]

the fact that you say that with a raiden pfp

[@generalkinobi1033]

fr💀

[@daten9075]

There's more in-game evidence supporting that Raiden has a bigger martial prowess than Zhongli in the present. Also you're conveniently ignoring that Raiden can create her own sub-space as in the Plane of Euthymia, which according to this video, suggests that she has some domain over the Imaginary element as well, and not only that, her domain over the imaginary element was strong enough that she managed to preserve Makoto's own plane of euthymia 500 years after her death.

[@ReverseElectro]

@@daten9075 Check Morax's greatest feats in Liyue and then cross them with Beelzebul's greatest feats. Let us put all of the terraforming and world-building (literal world-building) that Zhongli did to the Mountains of Teyvat aside. Let us also put all of the Dragons, Gods, and Monsters that Zhongli defeated aside. Let us also put the fact that he was infamous for his martial prowess that he was known as a god of war and given the title of the "Warrior God". The strongest enemy that Beelzebul canonically defeated as far as we know was Orobashi (maybe she defeated someone stronger but we don't know yet). Orobashi already lost to Zhongli before fleeing to Inazuma. That alone ends the discussion.

[@daten9075]

@@ReverseElectro Please take Raiden off your pfp because its obvious you dont know shit about her lore. Ei also has killed other Gods, did you forget there was also an archon war going on in Inazuma? Orobashi was a god too if you forgot. And Ei also killed the Thunderbird and sealed it within Seirai Island. The slash she used to defeat Orobashi was so strong that you can still feel the remants in Yahsiori Islans (the electro radiation). And not only that Raiden had enough power to surpress the Tatarigami aka Orobashi's karmic remains on Yashiori island. And Raidens biggest feat is literally FIGHTING THE SHOGUN PUPPET FOR 500+ YEARS. She was literally locked in combat for hundreds of years against an enemy thats on equal footing with the Archons. And she herself said that if she even faltered for a single second, she wouldve been killed. You also forget that Zhongli himself said that he lost a great deal of power after giving up his gnosis, Raiden was never in possesion of a gnosis, and at the end of her SQ2 she unlocked the true power of the Musou Isshin, so she walked out stronger than she did. You can make the argument that Zhongli in his prime was stronger than Raiden, which would be true. But AS OF THE PRESENT, Raiden is the strongest Archon as of now until we meet Tsaritsa and Murata.

This is the one of greatest genshin theory I’ve ever seen.. and I’ve seen ton. Like the way you brought all these points up and it all combine into this cohesive ending. It so good u definitely earned a follower

[@jx2k331]

Fantastic video! Everything lines up and you connected so many loose ends. Just adding on to your theory about primal light originating from the light realm, we’ve already seen this from the Latin incantations that are in the game the incantation used by Mona in Unreconciled Stars and the outer wheel of the beastly rifts in Fontaine read as Ex culmine locis in magno elementorum Lux se effundat in mentes dei ("From the peak of light, to the greatness of the elements. May light surrender to the mind of god.") Abyss Lectors use an ominously similar version: Ex culmine lucis in magno obscuritatis. Lux se effundat in mentes abysso. ("From the peak of light, to the greatness of darkness. May light surrender to the abyss.") It’s almost as if they channel the primal energy via abyss/celestial power. Hypostasis even have a similar line “Ex Culmine Lucis In Magno Elementorum” which is just the shortened version of Mona’s, likely because the hypostasis are natural manifestations from the light realm, not controlling the primal energy but being one with it Another thing I wanted to ask: in the nymphs dream (now revealed to be Rene the dragon narcissus and the hero Alain), Rene says that the “The star-beasts shall drink the amniotic fluid of the world dry. A hundred years from then, all life on its surface shall be wiped away”. Considering the primordial sea is the birthplace (womb, amniotic = womb liquid) of teyvat, we can assume the primordial sea is this “amniotic fluid” and somehow the whole world formula has to do with the “star beasts” drinking up all the primordial waters. How do you think that fits into your current theory?

[@marsinaresvt]

Perhaps the star beasts tie in to this theory's suggestion that the Traveler will become Dottore's "god project" (54:16), rather than taking a bite of the world they'll drink deeply from the primordial sea.

There is something else there. Some missing link. What does the Abyss twin have to do with this? The loom of fate and the fall Khanria.

None of them are really covered in this theory.

@@jamesreese4170they probably could be at *some* point. Its less of a “we have missing links” and more of a “the game has yet to bring up any hints” we’re only on fontaine. And theres gonna be many more events genshin will make that future players will never get to play that have an important role in fleshing out the whole story. Since we get a lot of abyss/kheanriah/dain lore once every nation patch, we might get something in fontaine’s version that adds to this theory.

My guy this vid is FIRE. It’s been a long time since a theory has blown my mind as much as this one!!!! Your the FIRST person I’ve seen put that stuff with the Fatui together like that. Damn man great job!!!!

[@naisu5298]

now you made me want to pull for zhongli! damn it! great video and immediately subbed within 10mins of the video! keep up the great work!

[@xvgarnet]

I love this. It's amazing all the research you do to make these videos. Makes me a bit sad it's not too popular. You should write a book, my guy.

[@Hardystonite]

One of the absolute best theories I've seen around here about Genshin lore, if not the best. This was SO entertaining, I'm looking forward to more!

[@aranara_song]

This is so interesting, such a well done video!

[@kiplingwasafurry1108]

This is so well done and surprisingly easy to understand with my basic understanding of Genshin lore. I am interested in seeing breakdowns of Genshin's cultural and historical inspirations.

[@athruncagallifan]

I don't watch long videos but man, you kept me watching till the end... maybe because one of the topic was Zhongli. This is by far the most sensible and most probable actual lore for Genshin, it is intertwined with the other Hoyoverse game/lore. I am also in awe on your take about the reasoning behind how was Xiao saved during the 2.7 chasm quest and it makes sense. So probably also why Xiao's karmic debt (might be abyssal in nature??) become tone down when he met traveler because traveler's power counters abyssal?

[@chibi7649]

Honestly the best video on Genshin I have ever watched. This is so incredibly put together thank you so much for making this. What an insane experience, it explains EVERYTHING!

[@anchesenamonsims5356]

I love your videos and theories!

[@kostavasilev]

Dude... this video deserves 200k+ new subs. Mind > blown

[@Roxanewolfie]

i first watched this because i'm a Dottore simp and just wanted some juicy lore/theories about him but oh boy... this went FAR above & beyond anything i could've expected. what a comprehensive, well thought-out, and informative video. i'm going to be rotating this idea in my head for the next several weeks because i love everything covered here. THANK you

[@syzeone5510]

Your video is jus like, holy F that is so good. I've never seen any of said ideas evoked in any other theorist on youtube. That work is really commendable: your videos are filled with very unique and plausible ideas which are extraordinarly justified with great arguments and researches. Tho please, we need someone to make a syntesis of those videos because they last long and... it is full of lotta interesting infos. Tho keep the good work ! can't wait to see what the future holds for that channel. Your work is very high quality, and we don't have to wait centuries to devour such good content. 😎👍

[@reactinod]

Damnn loved your theory.. I literally woke up and was still sleepy so I started this video and it knocked the sleep right out plus the amount of research it would have taken. Great work

[@hydroho]

thank you for reading through all the lore and putting it on a video and not to mention tying it to real life mythology, science and religion. jfcccccccc this was a ride

[@IDontWantHandlesWTF]

EXTREMELY well-put video. This was very comprehensive and packed with so much scattered information from Genshin that is either skipped or slips through mind after some time. This makes me so much more hyped to continue playing and see what the Fatui really are going to do, and my fondness for the character of Dottore after watching this video has increased so much. I was disappointed by Genshin's lack of exposition regarding the abyssal ooze in the chasm, the lumenstone's energy, Kvarena energy etc but watching you explain and piece everything together blew mind. It all makes so much sense. I hope you continue making these high quality theory videos.

[@witchcandy3671]

You cracked the code! I think i learned more from this video then from the last 3 years of playing Genshin. Thank you so much!

[@RookieFir]

This was actually an insane video to watch, so many connections, but everything falls into their place so well and it just makes sense! Traveler really might just become the original god or, as the game calls it "Genshin" in the end and make an "impact" on Teyvat's laws. Anyways, fantastic video, I watched the previous part and now this in one go and it was an absolute wild ride. Like some other commenters said this really does feel like the best theory video of Genshin so far for me at least. Keep up the great work!

[@mintyichigo5153]

The emotions in your voice The passion in your tone The well articulated thoughts What kind of treasure did i stumble upon? how long have i been missing out? instant subscription 😂❤

[@falopa1541]

YOUR VIDEOS ARE SO INTERESTING THANKS!!!!

[@regacybot]

This has to be the best Genshin Theory video ive seen so far. Now I want to see how some more of the big things like Hexenzirkel and its eccentric witches, or kingdoms like Sal Vidagnyr and the future telling power possessed by the lady there etc fits in, and if it could actually fit.

[@Managlyph]

This is an insane video. Incredible work.

[@steindoesnothing]

that was great. you managed to capture everything in one complete theory and i cant think of any flaws in it. im astonished

[@VividPastels]

WOOWWWW this is such a cool video! Amazing, amazing job, well done!!! This must've taken so much time and brain power, you are very dedicated. Thank you for putting this out, I'm sure your predictions will turn true in later patches. My hat's off to you sir

[@shironasama0445]

My mind has been blown, incredible video Be careful, Dawei is going to find you and silence you for solving the whole game

[@rohitpant9300]

One of the best lore-theory video I've ever ever seen truly loved it

[@arber7240]

Omg this video blew my mind! Holy shit I appreciate your work and the fact that it makes me appreciate hoyoverses work even more!

[@snowcordie9322]

I got mind blown more than once watching this. Thank you!

[@lonelywolf777]

VERY good theory. I appreciate your work. New sub earned

[@chuuwife]

video quality is tooooooo good!

[@romanfairy]

I love seeing theories after part of a theory is disproved because it helps make ways for new answers. we have new information on the gnosis which doesn't disprove parts of this, but does change it a little. I'm excited to see how the theories in this (super long) video play out in new patches.

[@melkerbotin7098]

This video is amazing!!

[@tinnakitudsa2529]

You make me remember why I love genshin theory video so much

[@YaBoyTarek]

This theory was amazing. you explained everything in genshin that needed explaining that needed one in a very believable and logical fashion. Also the fatui's plan at the end was amazing (similar to how the stellaron hunters are "puppeteering" the trailblazer for an ideal future). However at times it was very difficult to follow when you excitedly explain concepts like quantum mechanics. You were a bit too quick and my brain had difficulty catching up. But aside from that, the rest is an easy 10/10. Thank you for taking time in making this video

[@viraajkulshreshtha9027]

i love the chaos in this video. its amazing.

[@Orion_TheyThem]

21:02 okay i really wish you had subtitles for this part. And not just auto generated. Because i had to rewind like 5 times and i still couldn't understand what you were saying, you were talking so fast. 😭 24:38 but THANK YOU!!!!! i NEED somebody to talk more about the Nameless Ruins in the Chasm being tied to Fontaine. Because in the ??? place the Book of Revealing takes you to.....right at the entrance is a purple hazed window. And if you look into it, it is the upside down fountain in the Nameless Ruins in the Chasm!!!!!

[@shironeko1611]

I’m glad I’m not the only one who sometimes has trouble understanding his fast talking 😭

[@Hie_Hyoumaki]

The only Osial believer is Beisht and me. THE DOTTORE INTRO IS GOLD THANK U

[@huh3132]

I love your videos with my soul

[@isapizz4]

Did you really think you could make me click on the video by using a picture of Dottore? You were absolutely right

[@prattaydey2603]

O my god my head hurts....god dam😅🎉🎉🎉🎉 The vid was too good... I'll be waiting fir the next one

[@tinnakitudsa2529]

This video is so good!!!

[@isaiahhaley4816]

Idk how to start this theory but your video really interestsed me I would just like to point out my theory in sections and I hope you read it Pneouma and ousia I would just like to say that this is definitely Genshin trying to confirm that light and dark exist in to the game so we know pneouma is imaginary in Genshin and ousia is quantum well what if pneouma represent celestia and ousia represents the abyss if you really think about this it’s not that bad of a representation first I would just like to start with pneouma we know it’s a element of light and that it means soul if you analyze that it actually alliance really well with the concepts of visions, we learned from Inazuma that visions connect to the person’s ambition and a ambition comes from your heart, or in other terms, soul so if you think about it, visions are basically a organ that is given to vision builders that physically represents there, ambition and if there backstory, or personality aligns with one of the 7 Archons then they’re gifted a certain element we know that the Archons don’t personally handle visions since ei talks about it in her voice lines, so it’s definitely celestia handing them out it was even said in game that each person that has a vision has a chance of ascending to godhood but if I’m going to be honest, I believe that’s honestly just lie if that were really true, then the current Archons would have been once vision holders that I send it to godhood but that’s not the case I believe that visions are given to people who have a single goal in their life that they want to pursue that aligns with celestia basically it’s like a budget version of a gnosis that each archon has to strengthen their power but for vision holders, it’s their emotional power that gives them power of a vision basically what I’m saying is that the stronger, the ambition, the stronger your vision will be now let’s talk about ousia we know it means “to be” at least that’s what I heard and I actually perfectly aligned with the abyss. If you look at all the people who controlled the abyss, they have all been changed physically into a Lecter or a hareld basically be a best ones to you evolve humans into a higher power to take control and we also know it has a will of its own, which also matches how vision holders have ambitions with visons it connects with your heart but with the abyss, it mostly connects to what you want to be or what you want to know now look at childe he’s learned the arts of the abyss and has a vision we know from the recent Archon Quests that his vision hasn’t been working now I believe that’s because of his foul legacy just how pneouma and ousia create a reaction called annihilation, which is basically opposing each other, visions and the abyss do the same thing or I guess more specifically celestial power, and abyssal power do the same thing it’s possible childe has been feeling down. It is because his vision is weakening along with his ambition as well because of the foul legacy and it doesn’t help the fact that he has a delusion as well also something I like to add when pneouma and ousia create annihilation, suspiciously kinda, looks like the color of Anemo which brings me to my second theory Venti and iseroth Now we know venti has the queen gnosis and the queen is known to be the most powerful even more powerful than the king itself now I think is frankly obvious that Celestia is the king with the other Archons being other chess pieces as well (geo and cryo rook dendro and electro bishop and hydro and pyro knight) now I believe Anemo is both a celestial and abyssal element, because we see the abyss order taking a statue of the seven and using it to gain power and we also know that the statues at the seven were most likely created by celestia when the seven Archons were chosen now ventis statue looks really similar to most of the statues of enkonomyia and in one area you can see that there are directly for statues which could represent the poor shades. There’s also another area of that in the chasm which we can see in a portal in the abyss area we’re we try to find the melusin now I believe venti wasn’t originally supposed to be created I believe iseroth created him because she also for saw a prophecy of the future Anemo has been an element that has h heavily been associated with time which is the reason why I think it’s a celestial element and abyssal elements since childe re marks his time in the abyss differently, been in the outside world now I believe venti was created so the traveler can embark his journey across the seven Nations I mean think about it teyvats story is distinguished into chapters basically like a story book and in one of the world quest in Fountaine it talks about how we’re in the story but the traveler wasn’t originally supposed to be in it so what if the same applies to Genshin what if teyvats fate was already supposed to be sealed, but since the travel is a anomaly from the outside world influencing teyvat there are many possibilities of what teyvat could end up if you’re wondering why I think Venti is the reason on how the traveler Kim embark on their journey is simply because he’s the first archon we meet in fact, the very first character in the game that we meet (besides Paimon) if he never saw him or if he never existed he wouldn’t have helped monstadt or wanted to search for the seven in fact I believe iseroth creating Venti is the reason why the siblings aren’t even in teyvat in the first place I could be wrong about that one, but it’s a possibility Teyvats fate I am going to start off on the story by saying that teyvat is on it seventh loop or samsaranahida says that everything in this world runs on a loop and proof of this is the fact that there are seven Archons in teyvat and there were seven sovereigns who possessed each of one element like the archons I believe in the dragon age teyvat was already in its six Loop, and since the dragons went to war with celestia I believe it was beginning to enter. It’s seven sleep if we think about it teyvat could’ve had a brutal war we’re all life forms perished during the war with the dragons and the heavens and it says in the book of sun and moon, that the primordial one created humans and plant life so it’s possible at that very moment teyvats seventh loop has already started and I believe it’s going to teyvats finally one is because in the notes of the world quest says that civilization won’t be alive saying that the abyss wall in golf all of the world, and not even a mint would be left Mona also says that constellations can predict the outcomes of people and tell about their past lives we know that there are six constellations when you look at the cons of the playable characters in the reason for this is the fact that we’re still on going to seven loop of teyvat and every loop we go through it as one more constellation of the past world or life if we align the constellations with a seven archons venti would be out of the picture because he’s the queen and the other archons posses the rook bishop and knight pieces this one’s a bit of a stretch, but I could understand why Ending thoughts Venti definitely has more lore coming especially since 90 percent of the lore in this game connects to him even king deshret who was the goddess of flowers, who is a seelie from celestia and celestia, has the floor shades, and iseroth is one at the Ford shades, who created venti I also think teyvat being at its final loop is a really interesting story line and could be the main plot point in the ark of khaenriah

[@RukkhaRukkha]

I like some of these ideas

[@shycracker]

The color scheme of Anemonis similar to the color of what happens when Pneuma and Oumos crash to each other creating Annihilation or Balanced stated. But Lynette prove this irrelevant because Anemo character can have Ousia oriented in tandem of their Anemo vision.
