Egeria and Focalors - Records of the Hydro Archons (Genshin Impact Lore)

[@kurumitokisakiii1080]

Egeria really intrigues me I really hope we see her full actual design someday. I kinda picture her as like a mix between venti and focalors since shes related to both lol

[@Lw2lbakGaibakTalaly]

I think that we will see her in the genshin anime since it is about the archon war

[@Wolf-vy7et]

​@@Lw2lbakGaibakTalaly It's not confirmed

[@Lw2lbakGaibakTalaly]

@@Wolf-vy7et yae you are right but it would be cool

[@jonrebalonzo8248]

When you look at the mural of the prophecy in Fontaine's archon quest, Egeria is seen to have black hair so that's a first.

[@F1ll1nTh3Blanks]

She's gonna get the Decarabian, Goddess of Flowers and Deshret treatment. Annoying but what can ye do.

[@brandonrojo7678]

I can't believe Sumeru was also involved in Fontaine's backstory.

[@b4u4ever26]

i don’t know why there was no mention of egeria's Consciousness in the archon quest because it would’ve been nice if we go in the water beneath the tree and communicate with egeria just like how we did it in the fountain of lucine.

[@dreamshade8123]

Perhaps this’ll be explored in the upcoming dain quest

[@b4u4ever26]

@@dreamshade8123 it’s a good guess.

[@Keiki-kun]

​@@b4u4ever26 you would have to do the entire desert world quest to finish Fontaine's main quest if that were the case However, it may be that in the future we will receive a continuation of this world quest

[@b4u4ever26]

@@Keiki-kun or adding a voice line about her strongest emotions just like fuirına had in the fountain would be nice too and i don’t recall revisiting old places in world quests because after you unlocked most of the mechanisms while completing the quest you’ve completed on of the most important thing in the quest so if you come back the quest would be a little bit empty

[@FireBlueZ]

A really good job on summarizing the lore. I was confuse (or forget) of how Remuria rule over Fontaine before Focalor, welp everything answered now.

[@lnsflare1]

I wonder what the "rogue" Oceanids feel now that Focalor's/Furina's plans and lies have been revealed and come to fruition. I'm gonna have to check if Rhodea still says "AN ASSASSIN FROM MY HOMELAND?" and I hope we get to see Idiya have a mutually awkward tea party with Furina and Neuvillete.

[@Keiki-kun]

What bothers me is not knowing what exactly Makoto and Ei are Are they simply thunderbolts? and that's it? without any elaboration? I know Venti is mysterious and a wind spirit but he at least has more lore than both of them combined

[@darylewalker6862]

The temporary event where we got the demon umbrella sword. The focused NPC was a set of paddles exposed to so much youkai chi (from the nearby festivals) that the paddles themselves evolved to become a (single) youkai. Makoto and Ei may be similar kind of youkai.

[@tiredcloud3741]

they are probably youkais, looks like each archon (the new gens at least) are ascended beings of whatever local mystical creature their region has

[@Azzywrld224]

I really feel bad for Focalors

[@alanstewart9216]

I agree

[@callmerosa170]

Oh speaking of Hydro Archon stuff.. the words on the Varunada Lazurite Gemstone havent been spoken yet, right? Based on the lines "I must correct you. People here bear no sins in the eyes of the gods." it makes sense for it to come after the main story. Probably not a flashback since neither Furina or Focalors couldve known 100% that the plan would work. Ive been lazy so i actually still havent played Furinas 1st SQ, but i assume the lines werent said there based on what ive heard about the quest. All logic points to Furinas 2nd SQ in the future, but unless they introduce someone new and important to challenge Furina i cant see her correcting anyone tied to the Archon Quests about their views on Fontainians. Ive been thinking about this for a while but Dainsleif perhaps? Were definitely getting an interesting Dain quest considering where we left off last time, but for the first time we have a situation where Dain could maybe be willing to interact with an "Archon". I imagine Fontaines events would be quite intriguing maybe even shocking to him with both nations having been branded as sinners and doomed to destruction yet Fontaine managed to undo all of that and fool fate itself. Furina and Dain could totally chat about lore stuff with us.. right? Neuvillette can join the tea party too i have some questions for him... Well Furinas 2nd SQ is more likely but this would be cool too.

[@bangtanssera]

i love it how well you summon lore up thank you so much these videos are very useful and help a lot to navigate in lore

[@kal.xi3]

Hydro archons lore is here!! lets gooo

[@Mays_Irminsul]

Just had a thought; So we know/can speculate what happened to the Sovereign Dragon software the so far released nations: Dvalin, Azdaha, Apple, and Neuvillette, all except for Inazuma/Electro... And we just learned from Skirk that the Gnoses are made from the remains of the Third Decender. We have yet to learn the identites of the Pyro and Cryo for certain. Onto my speculation... What if the Gnoses are the Electro Soverign? From what I know, there is very little lore on them, and Ei did say that Eternity is the closest to the Heavenly Principles... and what if it was both literal and metaphorical, and maybe it had ties to the Loom of Fate, 'cuz, t'know /eternity/? I think it's as likely as any other knowing Genshin!

[@Sulfuric_Hrid]

Azdaha isn't sovereign, Also Dvalin is a descendant of Anemo Dragon not a sovereign

[@toshikazukofunchannel527]

you speculated a little bit off though. The only confirmed sovereign dragons in game are Apep and Neuvillette. Dvalin isn’t the anemo sovereign nor is Azdaha. In the up coming patch, in Chenyu Vale, that map could actually have some informations about the Geo Sovereign Dragon

[@F1ll1nTh3Blanks]

​@@toshikazukofunchannel527 Actually, the only one that is confirmed in EN is Neuvillette. Apep is also speculated. It's pretty obvious that Dvalin, Azhdaha and Apep are all sovereigns or primordial elemental dragons at this point but it's not actually confirmed. CN is much more definitive on them being sovereigns but since EN translation is different, it's understandable for people to be more focused on that.

[@texben123]

So Fontainains are actually Oceanins That were transformed into humans, which is why people are reverting back to their original state. But I have a speculation that parts a bit of an exaggeration, my theory is that Seeles and Oceanins Were used to create humanity. The creator of the world, used Seeles, artificial bodies to create humans because I know humans,Archons, and Seele are not native to the planet Teyvat. And created artificially through cloning, Seeles most of them disappeared. My theory is they turned into humans as a part of the cloning process. Because I know the myths of Archons and Seeles it’s not exactly accurate because humans exaggerate stuff and forget key details because they completely forgot they’re from another world.

[@vukkicos5688]

Considering we know very little about Egeria, Hoyo hiring a VA for her, and also the whole bunch of world quests regarding and relating to her, I do wonder if we are going to see her one day in one way or the other. My current theory is that The Knave is Egeria's "reincarnation", same way as Cater is Carter's reincarnation, where someone, possibly Rhodeia but this is a whole another topic, took a part of Egeria's consciousness from Harvisptokhm and planted it onto a hilichurl as a means to revive her. This would explain as to why The Knave feels so passionate about protecting Fontaine as well as her origin and source of power, and would fit thematically, considering that, in both Inazuma and Sumeru, we had a major world quests that would eventually heavily relate to Archon's second story quests (talking about The Aranara's questline and Sakura Cleansing Ritual). This time it would connect to Unfinished comedy and by extention, the whole Narzissenkreuz questline

[@toshikazukofunchannel527]

Where did you get that information about Focalors hiding inside the Oratrice? Focalor didn’t said she was inside the Oratrice though

[@SiliconOneFour]

"And then I "became one" with the Oratrice, taking Fontaine's Gnosis with me... Yes, it would seem so, wouldn't it?"

I feel bad for focalors, she basically had save her people by executing herself because of egeria’s actions.

[@Gabi.Lilian]

But if you followed the story, you would know that Focalors was one of the oceanids who asked Egeria to be like humans and ended up leading Egeria to commit the sin. Looking logically, it was kind of fair that it was one of the transformed oceanids who resolved the issue

[@nicklegege7305]

Why are you purposely mispronouncing Egeria’s name?

[@SiliconOneFour]

It wasn't on purpose, I just thought it was how I pronounced it lmao
