Everything we Know about Nod-Krai and its "Mysterious Power" (Genshin Impact 5.3 Lore and Theory)

[@sarwatarannya8786]

The tsaritsa won't tell you this but the harbingers actually flooded the streets of nod-krai with crack cocaine after the cataclysm

[@the-xm2qi]

Flooded the streets with Forbidden Knowledge

[@alifeinpurpose]

Ayo 😅😂 I saw the thumbnail and I was rollin as someone who grew up and lived in the hood for 20+ years when I read the description of No-Krai from liben and the pryo archon I was done lol and then this hilarious comment on top of all that is wild!🤣

[@peanut67896789]

this shit was so stupid

[@Truck-kun11]

I can't wait for Dottore to have a big ass Disney Villain castle with a theme song and everything. As for the rest of Nod-Krai i imagine something very Skyrim-like, with lots of bandits and underground organizations

[@gladiusbladeofthenorth9939]

You just made me imagine Dottore with a Disney villain song.

[@arwinv9005]

i mean the harbingers already have their own music theme and songs😂

[@TheUnintelligentOne]

Or should we say Da Hood

[@IAmNotDiluc]

What did we expect of the Doctor and his cronies

[@seagl4ss]

Dawit in Dahood.

[@krizi8032]

Nah but Liben getting robbed, "autonomos" region of Snezhnaya, it's in the south, Voynich Guild (Voynich or Wojnicz is a surname and historic town in Poland, derived from the Polish word wojna meaning "war."), if Nod-Krai doesn't end up being Poland inspired I'm gonna riot.

[@XallbX]

nod-krai was referred to both as "not a part of snezhnaya" and "part of snezhnaya" combining that with your comment makes me think of kaliningrad

[@yadakakadu]

I'm going to bet that it has more to do with the infamous manuscript.

[@George_Wong]

It's going to be a mix of Poland and U(krai)ne.

[@its.galactic]

The mysterious power must be in fact be our sanity that we lost, cuz no matter what day or mood it is, I'll find myself in a domain battling for a non DEF stat for once

[@communitygamer117]

The power of beyond/transcendental is probably Quantum, not to mistaken with Darkness which aligns with the Abyss. Light element is likely Phlogiston and the siblings are probably entirely composed of it. If there's a 4th then it's likely Imaginary and belongs to the Shades and Primordial One. Potentially all deities would've transcended/reside in Celestial. I don't think Darkness or Light will be playable IF they exist. So that's really only leaves Quantum or Imaginary. SUPRISE SUPRISE

[@kevingame3198]

So if the traveler sibling is quantum element hence the white glow it's likely physical element which counter any element which is even stronger than meta element like cryo and geo

[@Jfernandez02]

Personally I think phlogiston comes from Imaginary/Light element

[@orochi_08]

before HSR people start jumping in here, imaginary is the power of the imaginary tree and is associated with time and therefore fate. Otto wanted to change fate and time by manipulating the imaginary tree to find a timeline where Kallen was okay. the sea of quanta is where everything uncreated gets recycled and then the tree drinks it back up and uses it in new timelines. i dont think they will be elements on their own. i bet they will be like pneumousia and nightsouls. Skirk was announced as cryo, but she will definitely have a quantum mechanic in her powers and i think it will function (as a game mechanic) like a mix of nightsouls mode and childe's stance change. white glow does not mean quantum or physical, i think it will just scale off physical damage buffs because spacetime is affected by physical forces i dont think theyd just introduce new artifacts to grind for.

[@minami_...]

I mean skirk will be the 100th character so she might just be a new element.

[@sebay4654]

My current guess is it's the blue energy we've seen tied to ancient civilizations like deshret especially considering a certain doctors adornment with vials of glowing blue energy/The celestial nails power of stabilising

[@jacobseil7996]

When talking to Liben I had immediately felt like the Voynich Guild was just scamming him. Charged him to retrieve his goods, and then probably robbed him themselves when he was on his way out. Easy to keep track of goods coming into the city and where they might end up if your reputation has unfortunate travelers that got robbed by other gangs coming to you for help. Learn where the shit was taken and who the culprits likely were, rob them of the shit they robbed and play the hospitable hero, show your guests the way out, and then have some masked men take the shit back. Keeps your guild looking noble while staying on top of the other gangs. Calling it now that the Voynich Guild is just the Mafia.

[@ErikaBuilds]

I think any powers we see or receive from here on out will be separate from the "7 elements" which have already been established as such. I believe the most likely is "the power from beyond this world" because its already been named dropped several times by Dain and Skirk. If Traveler is able to use this new power I think it will come in the form of a gadget to equip, and not an addition to the 7 elements.

[@516callersurge4]

Can we talk about the dark sea? 2000 years ago during the archon war the gods who didn’t want to be ruled by the 7 Archons/watched over by Celestia, went to the Dark Sea which i think is just A huge place which isn’t protected, probably wasteland? I think we go there after Khaenria’h since Its too mysterious and unknown to us.

[@orochi_08]

the dark sea refers to anywhere outside of teyvat and celestia's domain. theres debate on if enkanomiya counts as a dark sea area.

[@516callersurge4]

@ Im thinking it was at one point in history but not anymore due to that serpent. Would be dope if we travelled outside of the teyvat landscape, im guessing “The Dark sea” would be gloomy full of gods long forgotten.

[@Dart-90]

2:47 paimon gonna get stolen

[@downhill18]

And hopefully dottore sews her mouth shut

[@Jaynat_SF]

I agree with the reasoning laid out in the video for why the 4 listen in it (abyss, beyond, light and creation) will not appear anyime soon. My current baseless hypothesis is that it'll be the power utilized by the Celestial nails that will be harnessed in Nod Krai. The nails have been around for ages, both in-game and in-world-history, and it seems the Khaenri'ahns knew of their power because many ruin machines seem to have attempted to get a hold of them. Considering how many Khaenri'ahns make up the upper echelon of the Fatui, I won't be surprised if they brought with them whatever they knew about these nails and what could be done with them. There is also the possibility that it's the same thing the Khvarena from Sumeru is supposed to be, since it should be old enough to fit the description and not something Mavuika encountered before.

[@teyvathero]

which youtuber video have you watched

[@_Choco_]

Traveler is NOT ready for the hood, lmao 😂

[@rain_drop23]

I can't wait for Dottore 👹

[@Elti979]

what if its the power of friendship manifested into the souls of the gangs in nod krai and the power makes them act like cute magical girls if they get too violent. a curse from the shade of magic aka miricle magical girl sirin aka herrscher of the void aka shade of void aka beloved sustainer of heavenly principles

[@mcKaeyaa]

yall aint built for nod-krai cuh

[@あいす-Mizushima]

I was thinking what if currently Cryo Archon (Tsaritsa) was corrupted by Abyss Element ? Since "Abyss" not original from Teyvat. I feel the story of Genshin will detour to Nod Krai before the Snezynaha.

[@Moonlight_619]

if there is a new element that is not from visions or celestia that can be the gate to have characters who hate celestia and dont want or have visions like dain,pierro,capitano and maybe skirk, aslo what if the new "power" its not an element and is tegnology from other world? mavuika and skirk already say that there is another worlds so maybe is from another one i know sounds weird but man i really want hsr x genshin

[@danielesarte8431]

Darkness - abyss (make Enjou playable) Quantum - Skirk ( if they have balls or else just a Cryo Hydro or Electro character) Rhinedottir and the betrayers of Khaenri'ah Light - the Traveler after mastering all 7 elements Imaginary - the PRIMORDIAL ONE and the Shades

[@reveriesend4668]

Hmm I like this theory. Atm I'm on a very long crack that SWC actually did erase him/herself out of the records and asked the Shades to attribute whatever he/she did to either PO or the Shades themselves. Which means yeah the part that the Second Throne and the Heavenly Throne having wars might have been the lie in Before Sun and Moon (since there are certain people in our fanbase that like to think that thing is just HP propaganda,) So the existence of a 4th unknown, not-playable force can become more proof for this long crack.

[@sleepy-fc6rf]

i've seen people suggesting that snezhnaya is going to somehow get delayed to focus on nod-krai, which i just don't believe my two cents is it'll either be implemented like chenyu vale or the chasm but snezhnaya will still release in 6.0 maybe slating nod-krai for very late 5.x cycle

[@aSweetSummerSolstice]

Nod-Krai is part of Snezhnaya though. My guess is they want to divide the story of Snezhnaya as part 1 and 2 to be able to tell a fuller story

[@nullspace9927]

It's the Void, the power of gravity, space, and time. The power that exists in vast space within sea of stars. The void predates the world of Teyvat. Neuvillette said "that power" when he first met Skirk. This was the first sign. Skirk warped the SPACE of the Narwal and then spun him into a BLACKHOLE. Skirk is going to be playable soon.

[@pontoancora]

My bet is that Mihoyo is trying to set up the post snezhnaya story, and new game mechanics as well. Cook with me: We all knen what to expect until snezhnaya, since the launch. Yeah we have khaenriah too, but without a number, that is more subjective than others. Lots of people ask/complain that the game need to improve/get something new with battle. Remember how much dendro revitalized the combat? Another thing: we know that theres at least on new extra element, because Dainsleif power has even a "name" just not woth letters we know. Not only that, all the power from beyond talk we have. Tcg and twins gold power also make us to expect a second power. So even without abyss or celestial power, we will get new powers. So my bet is: they will show some chars using the new power in nodkrai, probably with skirk being playable in this element/power. Maybe they show the second power somehow too, but i dont think so. The point is that this new power will open another group of reactions, not necessarily with the old ones, but with the gold power of the twins. If im right, they can expand to other new powers like the video mentioned: abyss and celestial ones. 4 new powers can make a good amount of new reactions, has some exclusivity, so we will be incentived to pull new chars, like a gacha needs, and people will be VERY interested to play after snezhnaya.

[@ahmadmelhem1499]

I don't think there is going to be light and dark elements , I think it is more like mechanics for characters are using it . For example bond of life mechanics for some fontain characters , nightsoul mechanics for natlan. So dark and light going to be the same like a character is cryo but having dark mechanic to trigger additional potentials.

[@Dottoreismylife]

All I hear is that I will see my pookie soon xd

[@dolar6162]

Voynich Guild immediately made me think of Wojnicz aka polish city and surname. I even live quite near Wojnicz, its name comes from a word "wojna" aka war. I'm really hyped for this region

[@crammothy]

My question is how important is Nod-Krai. Will we visit it in the latter part of 5.X, the early part of the Snezhnaya story in 6.X, or will we have the Snezhnaya chapter in 7.X with Nod-Krai having a full interlude archon quest chapter.

[@maj0ga.]

I could easily see the element they're teasing be some niche mechanic bound to the region, but at the same time would be good testing ground to test the new element and Skirk should be the perfect opportunity to fully release it. And you kno everyone is going to want to pull a brand new element character even if it's good or not. I could see Traveler utilizing this new element only in that region through the mechanic but won't be able to unlock its full potential until after we master Ice

[@THE_FOOL-S0]

Traveler should unlock cryo before we start talking about an eighth element

[@kevingame3198]

And 9th and 10th element

[@ImportantBeef]

my bro Liben got robbed by that guild twice bro you can't change my mind

[@mekolayn]

An unfortunate neighbourhood in America means a wealthy neighbourhood in Eastern Europe. The moment I've read about that merchant telling about Nod Krai I've immediatelly remembered the tales about the 90s, or the 10s back when there were literal anarchist fiefdoms. Imagine not living in a place where the central authority is just the most powerful gang in the town

[@nikibnnuy]

can we summon the primordial one during the live stream?

[@spieds9994]

Might have commented previously but have a memory of a goldfish, so will leave interesting etymology for Nod-Krai and Voynich guild here: First, we have Nod-Krai. Krai can either mean Edge (I.E Krai Stola (Край Стола) = Edge of the table) OR region/land, so this part is obviously the latter one. Nod is not a real place in Russia or Slavic countries afaik. YET, there's actually such a thing as the Land of Nod, which is a place mentioned in the Book of Genesis of the Hebrew Bible, located "on the east of Eden", where Cain was exiled by God after Cain had murdered his brother Abel. There's also this part from Wikipedia that does sound quite a bit like what Liben described, I think: "Josephus wrote in Antiquities of the Jews (c. AD 93) that Cain continued his wickedness in Nod: resorting to violence and robbery; establishing weights and measures; transforming human culture from innocence into craftiness and deceit; establishing property lines; and building a fortified city" Second, for Voynich Guild, it could be named after Wilfrid Voynich (especially if Voynich is the name of the founder of the guild). Wilfrid was a Polish revolutionary, antiquarian and bibliophile. Voynich operated one of the largest rare book businesses in the world. He is remembered as the eponym of the Voynich manuscript. (The manuscript is its own rabbit hole) But the interesting part from the wiki is this: "In June 1890 he escaped from Siberia and travelling west by train got to Hamburg, eventually arriving in London in October 1890. Under the assumed name of Ivan Kel'chevskii at first, he worked with Sergius Stepniak, a fellow revolutionary, *under the banner of the anti-tsarist Society* of Friends of Russian Freedom in London. After Stepniak's death in a railway crossing accident in 1895, Voynich ceased revolutionary activity." One thing for manuscript, though, is that it hasn't been deciphered to this day iirc So good chance Nod-Krai is the closest thing to modern day Khaenri'ah

[@dear_totheheart]

What if the temptation referenced by the people in the “Time before Sun and Moon” refers to either a direct or symbolic creation of the Tower of Babel, the unified civilization attempting to reach the heavens out of their own arrogance and attempt to claim authority from God? The sky cities in Natlan seem fascinating in connection to this merge of technology and extending to the stars prior to destruction. I have to believe there is a connection the Babel or lore hidden adjacently. Those descriptions also include the civilization being disunited and dispersed, much like the peoples having their languages distorted and tribes forming and spreading out across the earth after the fall of Babel. The passage also refers to the early civilization being destroyed by a flood, reminiscent of Noah’s Ark when the world was flooded for 40 days and nights before the water receded and launch the restart of humanity from the prior age. Additionally, Teyvat means “world” in Hebrew, this video highlights aspects lending credence to connections to Heaven and the Garden of Eden prior to the Fall of Lucifer as the 1st Descender who led angelic and humanly revolt against the Divine, the seelies as angels, the state of souls, Tree of Life as Irminsul, the protected sphere as a sort of simulation designed out of benevolence (i.e, Simulanka, the false sky/moons), ah the considerable Messianic references within Capitano, etc, and these are simply the more recent ones - there are so many lore aspects consistently being related to Biblical motifs and Christian symbolism that I cannot help but claim that Divine revelation and retribution is afoot and also may hide more answers to our Genshin speculations!

[@grzegorzbrzeczyszczykiewic5880]

The name of the Guild is interesting, given the existence of Dottore'a base there and Wojnicz Manuscript which derives its name from a polish scholar. The manuskript is a series of texts deom various fields of science written in a yet-unbroken cipher. Nod-Krai inspired by Poland makes sense historically and thematically since even during USSR poland was an autonomous state within soviet influence zone. Can't wait to pull for Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz as first Snezhnayan character 😂

That blue genesis element used in. Celestial nail. That cure abys corruption. Dottore working on that power. That blue element. Urminsoul use that blue genesis element too. We seen root of urminsoul that is also blue colour. Same as blue genesis crystal. Dotter ear have assesory just like celestial nail. And dotter made lequid we sae in winter trailer of fatue. Dotter holding liquid that is Blue colour 😶😶😶😶 DO YOU UNDERSTAND DAWIT 🙂 Primos gem colour is rainbow. And we purchased fate get starglitter we can buy anything from paimon bargain shop😶. That means everything in tayvat made by blue element. GENESIS ELEMENT . Even leyline. Dainslef use same blue element and heis uniffected by. Curse🙂 do you understand dawit

[@davidjohnson8273]

One element people forget about - well it probably isn't one - is when Dain is talking shit as usual in the Chasm, and he says, "Khaenri'ah's technology, Abyssal power... Two things I couldn't be more familiar with. They're just cheap tricks to me." Since he says "two things" the implication is that he doesn't mean Khaenri'ahn technology is Abyssal power. Therefore he might mean that Khaenri'ah had it's own element.

[@GLoLChibs]

[@Gabrielzinho7891235]

Its quantum, its 100% either quantum or imaginary, at best they might rename it but it will be essentially the same shit. Hoyo LOVES reusing stuff since, theoretically, all of their main games take place in the same universe/multiverse. My guess its imaginary because quantum would overlap way too much with abyssal power, and since it comes from before the heavenly principles left it would make sense that some remnants of its power remain in the world in some regions

When the glorious PRIMORDIAL ONE conquered Tyvat….instead of just killing the dragons or terraforming Tyvat to make it uninhabitable for them like the light realm was for humans…. Did he give the dragons authority and a place in the world at the top? Out of kindness or compensation? Then Nibaloser came back with dragon crack and several ungrateful sovereigns and dragons rebelled….. which means they could no longer be trusted to hold the elemental authorities… and this the gift was confiscated and given to a more trust worthy species, the newly created gods…..

I personally don't want a new element. Because the last time that we got a new element on 3.0... yeah we all know how that turned out. I really don't want it to repeat Edit: if you're not picking up what im putting down, i mean the whole meta just being a slave to one single element and the reactions around it for 1-2 whole years. And it was not fun. Thankfully we are now out of the dendro supremacy era of genshin, and i really don't want something similar to happen again

[@yadakakadu]

The temptation probably was to question things. Or humans being human. The 'divine' abhors independence and independent thought. And you are wrong again that the Primordial/Principles created elemental energy, as the Elemental Sovereigns predate the arrival of the Primordial, thus elemental energy also predates it's arrival. Though you started the video that you are uncannily observant of the readily apparent, the obvious, and that which is spelled out for you. One thing I give you is that you are an expert at obfuscating wether you deliberately ignore the discrepancies in the narrative you build and which you base your Primordial simping on, or you are just so stupid that you don't recognize the contradictions that come out of your mouth.

[@agentese1285]

obviously the lord of the night lied 🤡

[@yadakakadu]

@agentese1285 90% sure she was lieing unwittingly as the elements are sure as shit not her perview and her only source of info on it is the Principles. Makes it more believable. Makes you wonder what is going on truly behind the scenes, because it sure as hell is not what Dawit theorizes.
