La Signora was probably more violent towards Venti because of her own personal hatred towards him. Signora was previously a citizen of Mondstadt, and when her husband died during a battle she blamed Barbatos for it. I know the lore in the crimson witch artefacts are about La Signora.

*SPOILERS if you haven't finished all of Dain's quests as of 29.06.2022* Khaenri'ah is supposedly the actual last nation we're supposed to visit and it it ABSOLUTELY extremely important to the main story. The Tsarisa might want to rebel against the gods, but Khaenri'ah was a land of vanilla HUMANS that actively rejected the rule of gods and the heavenly principles and it's why it was destroyed, because they kept taking and taking and taking from the gods' domain, presumably inventing technology without permission (Khaenri'ah's war machines), doing immoral alchemy (Rhinedottir's alchemy beasts i.e. "playing god") and harnessing cosmic powers (Dainsleif's "power from beyond") without playing by Heavenly Principle's rules. It's the "Adam and Eve" of Genshin's nations. Literally all of Khaenri'ah's surviving inhabitants were cursed with eternal life and all except Dain, with accelerated soul erosion (overall eternal torment) as a form of punishment (hilihcurls and abyss enemy origins). The "poetic" language sometimes used throughout the game makes the events and philosophies of all parties involved a little cloudy, but if you ever want to make a theory about Khaenri'ah, I suggest starting with Dainsleif. Most of Kaenri'ah's known lore comes from this gorgeous narrator meta-man.

[@bombombakudan2831]

Yeah I'm sure he knew that Signora was originally from Mondstadt and didn't want to hurt her even if he very much could (especially since they were right in the middle of the city + he probably already knew his gnosis would be taken and didn't seem to value it much anyway). I don't like how Venti keeps getting portrayed as this weak wimpy guy.. like yes, he is weak, but only when compared to the six other archons. Dude is *still* an archon. We know that Havria, who was one of the weakest gods to exist, turned everyone around her to salt when she was killed due to the uncontrollable release of her powers. It's very much clear that, compared to humans, gods, no matter how weak, are still more powerful and this is even more true for archons. So it's laughable to say Venti couldn't have stopped Signora if he wanted to. I mean, come on, this dude literally terraformed Mond at one point, he might not be as strong as he once was but he's still an archon lmao

Hey Matpat. You missed one major chunk of lore that changes how the events of the game we're going to play out.

[@BrokenFortuna]

As a loyal Genshin theorist, there are a few things I feel need to be addressed. 1: If you wanna talk about lore, read the manga. In the manga Venti clearly shows some kind of PTSD towards Celestia, no need to theorize. And if Tsaritsa wants to overthrow them she's not exactly the bad guy. 2: Tsaritsa, the way Venti was the god of freedom, used to be a god of love. Venti mentions her change of heart happening 500 years ago, back when the disaster in Khaenri'ah happened. Her relations with Tsaritsa changed a lot since then. Remember that Khaenri'ah wad a godless land. 3: The reason why Signora treats Venti so roughly is far more personal than just "you a lazy god". Signora actually hails from Mondstadt and thus used to be one of his subjects, but left after her beloved Rostam died. She's angry he doesn't even recognize her. 4: Venti was actively trying to stop the Stomterror conflict initially by talking with Dvalin, then giving powers to the Traveler, then trying to soothe the dragon with a holy lyre and eventually helping to take down the dragon himself. Not like he wasn't trying to do anything, as fun-loving as he is

[@ХейтерТрендов]

*The Game Theorists IS GARBAGE!* *Here's the proof* kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXK0qYOJrLJnnpI*

[@thatmanatite]

In reference to the last sentence of point 3.: perhaps Venti did recognise Signora, which would explain the bit of taunting as well as a lack of resistance from Venti in their scene in the game together as Venti may have wanted to give Signora a satisfying moment of revenge against him.

[@ZeAwesomeHobo]

It's a 15 lore video meant for everyone, I wouldn't expect much of the manga material to be mentioned. The dynamic between Signora and Venti is interesting, but is an aside to the theory's main point. The same goes for Venti helping Stormterror. Specifically, Venti wasn't trying to quell Dvalin to save Mondstadt, he wanted to help his friend. But that doesn't pertain to the overarching story, especially when the game itself counts the majority of that as a prologue.

venti isn’t bad at his job, his job just isn’t what you think it is: it might seem like he’s bad at being a god until you realise that he’s not just the god of anemo, he’s the god of freedom as well, so he’s not ruling monstadt because it’s his JOB not to rule monstadt. also, he does do his job in the sense that he’s protecting monstadt, as he freed it from decarabian, gave dvalin the strength to defeat durin and when dvalin was cursed and tricked by the abyss order he was immediately on the case and eventually freed him as well. also, signora didn’t take the other archons’ gnosis by force because a) the other nations were more reliant on their gods than monstadt so they needed a window of opportunity and b) if signora tried to 1v1 morax or ei she would get clapped (which is exactly what happens with the raiden shogun), barbados is just weaker than they are

QUESTION for genshin community as a new player would I be able to play previous quest and STORY events?

[@doodleghost6225]

my personal favorite theory/hc is that the archons weren’t given a choice in the destruction of khaenri’ah. Like, that they were manipulated or controlled to do it, or that their gnosis brainwashes them into following orders (hence the willingness to part with it later). It would also explain why Zhongli can’t talk about it. The idea that he formed a contract to keep quiet in exchange for something (power, safety for Liyue, more control of his personal choice) and that, because of his nature as the god of contracts, he can’t break it. (fun bonus concept: it isnt just that it would go against his principles, i love the idea that he physically can’t. Like, it would hurt him to do so or he literally can’t say the words.)

Some Corrections -The Gnosis isn't technically the source of archons powers, As Venti says, it connects them to Celestia. Raiden confirms this by being able to use electro without being in possession of her gnosis -Tsaritsa doesn't have the Electro Gnosis. It's mentioned that after Scaramouche got it, he disappeared and never handed it over. -Celestia isn't the heavens. It mentioned that Celestia wasn't a part of Teyvat, in a "Noah's ark flood" they killed all the vishaps that inhabited teyvat originally. It is theorized that Teyvvat is based on Norse Mythology, where the sustainer is "Heimdall" and where the travelers were at the beginning was the rainbow bridge -Venti didn't go to "hang out under a tree" he went to heal after signora injured him -Venti actually trusts Tsaritsa since they have a long history together

Correction: Venti ISN'T one of those "ignorant gods" - he KNOWS that there's darkness at play in terms of Celestia - as seen in the official Genshin manga - and he didn't seem to care much after his gnosis was taken. Plus, SPOILERS FOR SIGNORA'S BACKSTORY - the reason Signora took his gnosis so violently was because, during the attack on Khaenri'ah, Signora's lover Rostam was slain. She hates Venti's guts cuz Rostam's death was the result of a cataclysm that was supposedly orchestrated by the gods (which I heavily believe the Archons had no say in, not that Signora knew) so her archon - cuz she was a former Mondstadter - failed her and her lost love.

clarification: Venti did not "abandon" Mondstat. He simply decided that as the archon of freedom it would be unfit for him to rule Mondstat. He did NOT abandon is responsibilities as an archon! When he is needed as an Archon he rises to the occasion- being woken up from his slumbers (THAT HE MIGHT NOT EVEN HAVE CONTROL OVER.) He did this during the cataclysm (fighting Durin) - when the aristocracy got too bad- and most recently during the stormterror incident. Venti is not an archon that abandoned his duties!

When you look into the Lore of Khaenri'ah, you quickly find contradictions, things that dont fit just right. Then what comes to mind is "History is written by the victor" and the victor was Celestia. The most common Theory is that Khaenri'ah, may have advanced technologically to far from Celestias norm (Like Sal Vindagnyr/Dragonspine) and were attacked for that. They defended themselves and lost. Now 500 years past, Khaenri'ah is portrayed as the "Bad Guys" for doing something they shouldn't have and it doesnt help that Gold (Alchemist from Khaenri'ah) summoned or created shadow creatures to battle that ultemately ravaged Teyvat after the War. The War itself and the turmoil following were dubbed "the Cataclysm" afterwards and left a bitter taste in the citizens of Teyvat (did also not help that at least 2 Archons died during the War, the Dendro God of the Woods and Baal/Makoto former Electro Archon and Sister to Ei/Beelzebub the current Electro Archon)

The land was inhabited by 7 dragon lords and vishaps. But an ENTITY(probably from another world) came and defeated the dragon lords and put a layer above called the human realm which we are currently in. It is said that the sky is actually a false sky and that the archons that were given authority by celestia and can be controlled using the gnosi(lmao). Also to mention when humans of khanreia got too close to a certain truth they were wiped out by celestia and this is precisely why our twin in the game is fighting against celestia using the abyss order. Honestly it is already told taht the abyss order wants to take celestia down but then why would they make 2 separate organisations for the same goal.

Kunikuzuchi (Scaramouche), a prototype puppet vessel of Raiden Ei has it since Yae Miko gave it to him in order to save the Traveler.There was an event explaining that Childe/Tartaglia is finding him for that reason, to take it back. So they (the Fatui) still have 3/7 gnosis, since Scaramouche took it upon himself to take the gnosis of his creator/mother and betray the Fatui. Celestia and the Tsaritsa may not be the big bad, but the balladeer himself. He’s chaos incarnate, a stronger puppet than the Raiden Shogun, holding a gnosis, and having a plan of his own that no one knows about. He’s not affiliated with anyone, he’s just playing everyone by his hands. Also you can read some artifacts and some in-game items for some additional lore of some characters, especially Scaramouche.

Love the theory. One thing I want to point out is that Signora had a personal vendetta against Venti which would explain why she took his gnosis violently. She was originally from Monstadt and he was being an "absentee archon" during the cataclysm which resulted in her lover's death. So she became an immortal witch and eventually swore loyalty to the Tsaritsa.

[@AnimeGeniuss]

@CK Lim only thing is in her lore they’re kinda specific on who her lover was in Monstadt. But I do theorize that the Tsaritsa is a spitting image of Signora. When Signora became the crimson witch of flames she lost her human form. But she clearly had one in the story. And Venti says how she “stole the smile of her master’s face”. I think Signora has the Tsaritsa’s face

Maybe he started playing after the theory regarding Zhongli but after a year or so you'd think one would be pretty close, if not already, up to date. Maybe getting up to date isn't so easy and I'm just an ignorant day one player. Maybe all of the above is just me unhealthily obsessed with the game. Who knows? Hard to tell!

I usually love Game Theory's deep dives into super interesting lore and theories (and the silly theories too), but this one felt a bit disappointing, especially since the game has given us so, so much to uncover. The entire Inazuma quest line finally confirmed a ton of stuff about La Signora and gave us even more questions about Scaramouche.

Hey mat, just wanted to inform you on a few things! 1- The reason why Signora and The Tsaritsa opted to act violently on taking Venti's gnosis is because he has been away for so long that he has became the weakest of all the archons, as he says it himself. And it's about Signora's personal past! I recommend everyone who reads this comment to take a look at her past and it would explain some stuff about Venti being the only archon to have his archon violently taken away from him 2- The day that Khaenri'ah got destroyed, all of the archons were persuaded into destroying it alongside Celestia! You can actually learn this from the story quests of archons in the game as they mention it. It's presumed that Venti was persuaded by saying Durin had been coming from Khaenri'ah to destroy Mondstadt which lead in Dvalin getting corrupted. Zhongli was contracted to destroy it and never speak of it (which we learn in his story quest) and Raiden Shogun's sister (the original, old archon of Inazuma) had died there amidst battle. AND GUESS WHAT, Tsaritsa was the only archon to refuse the order on attacking Khaenri'ah. A little side fact, she actually used to be the God of Love, until she had to harden her heart I hope you read this! It should be useful on your future theories on Genshin Impact and for any other theorists out there interested in Genshin lore!

The Tsaritsa doesn't have Ei's gnosis YET and Childe is out to get it. Scaramouche or Kunikuzushi actually has it- he didn't tell signora that Yae Miko had already given him the gnosis which leads to her death lmao ☠ The reason why Scara wanted it for himself so he could feel complete or something like that. He was originally the puppet created by Ei but he was too fragile or weak to serve as a vessel for the gnosis because Ei doesn't need it cause she's meditating in her plane of euthymia however, she managed to create another puppet that doesnt require a gnosis to function aka the Raiden Shogun In the 2.2 event called "Labyrinth warriors" is where it was revealed that Childe was looking for Scara because he took the gnosis all for himself There were also some speculation on twitter that Childe *might* lose to Scara

Well Scara is higher on the Fatui power scale, so Childe losing is likely if we use that as measurement of pure power.

You really did Venti dirty in this theory. He wasn’t completely neglectful of Mondstadt, he just didn’t want to rule over it. This was a nod towards old Mondstadt with the old ruler who was a tyrant, and he didn’t want to become another ruler like that. Venti is more about freedom in which he allows Mondstadt to rule itself. He went to Windrise (if I remember correctly) to heal himself from the incident, after all, he is one of the weakest Archon (due to some events leading him to disappear for hundreds of years). Edit: Because I suck at writing

[@snobsy2877]

in my opinion he did everything dirty... the gods didn't give the Gnosi because they just wanted to. in Zhongli's case he was fulfilling a contract which we know from his story quest is the most important thing to him. as for yae miko she gave it to Scaramouche (who betrayed the tsaritsa and kept the gnosis for himself) in order to save the life of the traveller.. who she deemed more important because the traveller was capable of saving Ei. Also the thing with the other archon helping is just so Bullcrap because like... the fatui corrupted Inazuma.. i don't think that's something Ei would forgive.

[@elpenguinoofmexico1388]

Its a way of looking at it. Venti didnt have to rule invisibly but u cant deny he’s lazy. In truth Venti comes across as the guy who doesnt do much and then comes up w/ excuses. That being said he’s still a gr8 guy but u have to understand that Venti choosing not to rule isnt out of altruism. If u watched his trailer, it’s a funny little clip of him asking Andrius and then Dvalin to help him do something productive (cant remember what) but they all say no and Dvalin specifically says that he knows Venti long enuf to know he’s lazy and needs to do his own work. U cant just say Venti is serious when he wants to b; like that’s partly true but deep down, even if he’s helping Vennessa set up the Knights of Favonius, he’s rlly doing the bare minimum. Zhongli’s a gr8 example of an ideal ruler (b4 he retired). When there was problems he was front and center, and then he gathered adepti powers and consolidated his ppl. He established contracts and set up a lot of basic things. In the end he let his ppl do the most governing while he just came once a year to read some prophecies. That’s what Venti should have done. Dont take everything an Archon says at face value. Venti is lazy, tho maybe they shouldnt have been that harsh abt it

[@mercy5004]

@@snobsy2877 Not to mention Ei didn't "give up" the gnosis as a means of cutting her ties with celestia (Though he was right in that she didn't want to be a part of them) She gave up the gnosis because it was physically impossible to take it with her into the puppet. She even tried to modify the gnosis to turn it into an extra energy source for the puppet, but the gnosis resisted anything she tried to do. So if she couldn't make it a part of the puppet, and couldn't physically hold onto it anymore...she needed somewhere safe to put it. She even says that she was reluctant to give it to Yae Miko because of her personality, but she felt like Miko was her only real choice. OF course it even led to a small conversation like this: YM: Who's to say that I won't sell this? RE: Well I hope you won't, but I know that if you did, you'd only sell it for something of equivalent worth...and there's not much out there worth a Gnosis.
