[Genshin Impact/CN HoYoFair] Sand Dust

Here comes our new Genshin Impact anime music video! This video is based on the Genshin teaser: “Legacies in the Sand” video, starting from the time when the Scarlet King, King Deshret founded his dynasty → the disaster happened → King Deshret sacrificed himself → Greater Lord Rukkhadevata lost part of her power → the birth of the Lesser Lord Kusanali. There is a lot of information in this video, and of course, we have made many adaptions and re-creations to spice it up. It’s kind of pitiful that we did not include some of the follow-up stories of King Deshret and Flower God's Artifact stories and how King Deshret eventually unleashed the forbidden knowledge upon the world since the storyboard was created during the 3.1 version update.
The video is called “Sand Dust”, meaning that no matter how shocking the story has happened, everything will eventually return to dust. The video name also implies a metaphor for the chaos after prosperity.
The music is called “King Deshret” since the music style and the theme design was originally set in the desert area, but finally, we decided to add a section for the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata at the closing part during our production so that we could connect to the birth of the Lesser Lord Kusanali to inherit the legacy and guide Sumeru.
Most of the character designs are our original fan designs. The plots are mostly based on the official PV, and we made some more fan work extensions.
Anyway, I hope you like this video!

@@denatajasper Greater Lord Rukkhadevata was the original Dendro Archon, she is the girl with long white hair wearing white dress in the video. She sacrifice herself along with King Deshret to suppress the forbidden knowledge, exhausting her power and turning her into a childlike form we now know as the Lesser Lord Kusanali a.k.a Nahida. Further context and Spoiler: Later in the story we found out that Nahida is a separate entities created from the purest branch of Irminsul Tree by the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata. And Rukkhadevata, now left as a memory corrupted by the forbidden knowledge inside the Irminsul Tree, requested Nahida to erase all memories of herself as this is the only way to save the Irminsul Tree from further corruption. Nahida reluctantly erase all memories of Rukkhadevata from the Irminsul Tree, which in turn erasing all of the record of Rukkhadevata's existence from Tevyat's history. Rukkhadevata is now forgotten by the world and even by Nahida herself, with only Traveler (and us) as the only entities that remember her existence and her sacrifice.

[@Kitryugaming]

They put these in game. In the record scatter all over the Sumeru. The thing is in this game it more about present what u/traveler experienced. In which you only learn thing from text record and people words and ruin exploring. However, these records isn't in order or even complete nor real. You player/traveler have to connect the piece together in order it become a book, a story, a record. Even so, it might not correct order or 100% present of history. However, none of that prevent traveler/player to picture about the past of Sumeru. These short is not 100% present the actual/real history of Sumeru, it just one person mind or group idea how they imagine the history of Sumeru based on information they get within the game. These mv work better as fanmade than actual official cutscenes.

[@Black.Spades]

@@Kitryugaming The records are mostly man made (written by NPCs), and often centuries after the event. So during the age of the Gurabad kings. Besides, the can of worms called memory wipe made everything more unreliable. Who's to say we didn't have a memory wipe before? Or even more than 1 before. ZhongLi is wary of history changing over time (and Venti perhaps too, so he records it in allegories). Maybe something of the past was the reason for this. Even in-game item description (presumably not written by NPCs) doesn't always seem to be a continuity. So there's also the question of how much the devs keep up with their own previously released lore, or if they change the story later on for some reasons.

[@mariapazgonzalezlesme]

King Deshret wanted more than anything to see his beloved once more, the Goddess of Flower's smile. But alas fate is cruel and order is unkind to gods, which their wishes are mere specks of water that quickly vanishes from the scorching light. His selfishness and grief brought torment for his people, corruption destroyed the land, tainted the skies black and the screams of pain of his people --- of her people too --- the ones who swore to watch over, holding their heads in pain, cruel whispers filling their minds. At that moment, Deshret knew what must be done. He will be forever cursed through history and his deeds will be sneered by the new generation. How foolish he was. To be blinded by pain, realizing too late the mess he has created. But not more. The golden jewelry and white cape were tossed like nothing. He rises his head towards the light. And through his power, the city was no more, hidden and buried beneath the renmants of forgotten dream. For the first time in his long immortal life, he felt humbled, he felt small, he felt like an ant walking through gigantic dunes of the desert. The Scarlet King. Deshret. The Lord of Sands. The Conqueror of Djinns. Has choosen to leave this world behind.

Brilliant work as always!! Upon reading paradise lost artifact lore, I feel so sad about the friendship/love between goddess of flower, king deshret and rukkhadevata. The story about three of them is beautiful but also tragic. While the gods in other nations were at war fighting one another, king deshret shared his throne with two close friends, one of which is also his love. Yet his curiosity brought her demise, and he must have gone through hell to salvage the situation and protect both his and her people, only to fail and have to sacrifice himself in the end. And then there is Rukkhadevata who had to see both her close friends died and tried her best to save their people as well. It made me even more upset knowing that there is a rift in relationship between the desert and forest people even though their gods used to treasure each other so much :(

[@Direk_Carla]

Technically, this also happened in Inazuma. Makoto/Ei didn't fight Orobashi, they actually welcomed the Watatsumi islanders with open arms. The Watatsumi people were able to keep their own religion and pray to their own god, and they had rituals together like the Sakura cleansing. It was also Orobashi's curiosity that led to the demise of the bond that had once existed between the two cultures, since his way of suicide was to provoke an unprecedented war and die by Ei's polearm in battle.

She acts as if it was an act of good grace that she "allowed" them to give offerings to their own god and worship their own god, when orobashi was the one who gave those people hope and lead them to the surface, using parts of his own body to create an island for them to live on and call home.

man i love the three God-Kings of Sumeru lore sm, no doubt out of learning about all of the nations, they have to be my favorite. King Deshret, Nabu Malikata (Goddess of Flowers), and Rukkhadevata were some of the coolest gods in the game and i'm kinda sad we won't be learning any more about them (except for deshret if he is indeed the 'sinner') i just think their lore goes crazyyy. i mean they had a three way tie in the Archon War because they all rules together, King Deshret rejected the Gnosis from Celestia, having it go to Rukkhadevata. King Deshret and Malikata created Ay-Khanoum, an ancient city made for the Jinns. King Deshret loved Nabu Malikata, but more importantly she was someone he trusted more than anyone. While both Nabu and Rukkhadevata knew he was planning something crazy, he only told Nabu Malikata one night. He wanted to rebel against Celestia and he sought after forbidden knowledge. He didn't know what he would find, but he thought this would bring him close to getting the power to finally fight off Celestia. By the time Rukkhadevata heard of these plans later, she refused to work with them and left for the forests, never to reunite. Leaving only King Deshret and Nabu Malikata to continue the plan. Nabu Malikata had told Deshret, whom she lovingly called Al-Ahmar, that she knew of a way to help him. She helped him through a ritual where it's implied she knew that she would die. After the ritual was one and only King Deshret left alive, he mourned for her so bad, he went mad. He used the Celestial Nail in the desert to create the Eternal Oasis to lay her to rest. Eventually, he would release forbidden knowledge, and Rukkhadevata would return to help him because they were still friends after all. Then the second time the forbidden knowledge spread, King Deshret sacrificed himself, was subsequently eaten by Apep, and Rukkhadevata used a huge amount of her power, turning her to a chid again. Then when the Cataclysm in Khaenri'ah happened, Rukkhadevata couldn't go to Khaenri'ah because in Sumeru, something ELSE was happening and it plundged the world into darkness and Irminsul was once again polluted. So she snapped off the purest Twig of Irminsul and that was the birth of Kusenali. They were twins or clones in the way that both Rukkhadevata and Kusenali were made from the exact same source, Irminsul. So while the same 'creature' was in Teyvat, ultimately they are two different individuals and the reign of the Three God-Kings of Sumeru, came to an end. They were just so interesting and their Allyship during the Archon War speaks to how the Archon War wasn't some terf war and that they didn't actually need to fight until there was only one God left per nation.

[@dontaejones7419]

[Not a criticism, as everything you said was right and this was a really good run down of the lore] The reason Rukkhadevata didn't leave was because Irminsul and/or she was infected with Forbidden Knowledge. By helping Deshret, she came to know it and by knowing it Irminsul knew it. And, with Irminsul knowing it, the tree was infected by it. Deshret realised this in himself, that by knowing Forbidden Knowledge, it would always remain within Teyvat. Thus, he knew the only way to rectify his mistake was to die and take Forbidden Knowledge with him. This is the same decision Rukkhadevata cane to during the Cataclysm. By knowing Forbidden Knowledge, she didn't just doom herself and Sumeru but (as the avatar of Irminsul) the entire world. Thus she made Nahida, a successor who could purge the world of Forbidden Knowledge and then go on to protect Sumeru in her stead. A task she completed by ensuring no one remembers Rukkhadevata and that Apep was purged.

[@brooklyns.b.3570]

I love the parallels between the old Kingdom of Sumeru and the Guilli Assembly in Liyue. Both had 3 Gods ruling them jointly (King Deshret, The Goddess of Flowers & Rukkhadevata for Sumeru and Rex Lapis, Guizhong & Marchosius for Liyue). King Deshret had the power and the Goddess of Flowers had the knowledge he'd never get until the end when she died, same thing happend with Zhongli & Guizhong. As for the third God, both Guoba and Rukkhadevata used all their powers to quell the corrosion and withering within the land and in doing so both lost all their memories and shrunk in size. The difference is in the decision that each of the two man made, Zhongli decided to live by Guizhong's ideals and made an oath to protect Liyue and carry the vision they had; as in to live for the future. While King Deshret couldn't accept the Goddess of Flowers' death and continued to search for a way to revive her. He kept dwelling on the past and it brought him and his people their demise.

But at the same time, it was also his fault. Deshret sought out the forbidden knowledge which brought the downfall to bring back the goddess of flowers. He had to sacrifice himself in the end to salvage the situation and rukkhadevata also had to sacrifice a portion of her power to contain the consequences. and this all happened in the time of the archon war were the world was already unstable.

Not sure if he really sacrificed everything for his people... From the last quests of Gurabad, we know about massive wars, revolts and corrupt aristocrats that enslaved people and it was all when Deshret was still alive and in power. Perhaps he isolated himself to try to find a way to revieve GoF and thats why Rukkadevatha left him and built her own kingdom, far away from the mess that Deshrets petty kingdoms became. Tho, the whole timeline of Sumeru history is incredible messy, I must say. How does Archon War fit into this?

When 3.0 dropped, I was excited for Sumeru lore. The first few books I discovered in the House of Daena were about Rukkha & a new chara named King Deshret. I immediately read them as a lore enthusiast. The moment we were exposed with his grief about the fall of his kingdom, I was excited for more, so I tried picking hints on new artifacts. Then 3.1 dropped, more exposure on his mourning & sadness about his beloved friend, Goddess of Flowers, and how their friendship with Rukkha was. The more I explored his kingdom’s remains in the desert(Golden Slumber quest & talking to NPCs), the more I found how intelligent, resourceful & how he was loved by his people & Djinns. But also, how he dearly missed his friend to the point he would sacrifice everything to build a new paradise & even betrayed by his King followers. At that point, honestly, his story became sad for me as I read. As more updates dropped until 3.3, more artifacts,weapons and books revealed his motivations. King Deshret became one of the side chara that I found very interested with, just like how Kitsune Saiguu was in Inazuma. Now 3.4 with new area just dropped, I cant wait to explore more about Deshret & Goddess of Flowers!

This's the best summary of the Sumeru story arc. Press F to King Deshret, the great lord Rukhadevata and the Goddess of Flowers 🤧 It's still not completely clear to me what kind of great wisdom Deshret was looking for, but apparently from his point of view, these searches cost the death of an entire people, his loved ones and himself.

The Legend of the Three Magi The God of Wisdom, Greater Lord Rukkhadevata The Goddess of Flowers And Dreams, The Last Moon Sister The Scarlet King, King Desheret of The Desert I love every bit of lore about them. Especially when 3.4 was released, I have been enlightened about the fate of the Three Magi. The Wisdom of the Greater Lord that was forever lost and can no longer be remembered even by the forest. The Dreams that she envisioned now lost in the whirlwinds of sands, the Eternal Oasis is nothing but the last remaining memories of the late Goddess of Flowers. And the Scarlet King's legacies buried in the ruins of his kingdom. The pain and grief of losing his friends and his people, his monolith stands as a reminder of the bitter past.

Я посмотрела эту великолепную работу уже минимум 10 раз и никак не могу остановиться - здесь прекрасно всё, от рифсовки и дизайна персонажей до музыки. Король Дешрет невероятен, я просто влюблена, эти глаза завораживают... Если однажды разработчики выпустят офицальный дизайн Дешрета, который будет не похож на этот, мне действительно будет больно. История сделана из него тирана, который узурпировал власти и которого победила богиня Мудрости. Но на самом деле Дешрет был великим правителем, его нация процветала, была великой и обладала выдающимися технологиями, люди обожали его. И эта любовь сохранилась только в сердцах жителей пустыни, они так мечтали о его возвращении, что перешли все грани. Эта анимационная работа трогает до глубины души, это большая трагедия Сумеру и её великих правителей. По-настоящему грустно находиться в руинах пустыни, видеть погребенные под песком обломки былой цивилизации... Ах... Это видео потрясающее... Спасибо за проделанную работу!!!!! Она навсегда останется в моём сердце.. 🤧💔💔💔

Играю в геншин, но лор скипаю всегда 59 лвл Теперь пожалела лол

[@Lemon_chik30]

Царь-коментарий, буквально передали мнение всех любителей лора этой игры. Верно было подмечено, не был он никаким тираном, а искренне любил свою страну. Так уж сложилась печальная история.

[@tom_reddle]

Обожаю лор пустыни, впервые читала всё что только можно, даже лороведов искала. Дешрет лучший и этот дизайн.. если хоеверс сделают когда-нибудь его не таким, я умру просто.

[@Rayanfelt]

Ещё после постройки храмов она ушла дальше искоренять запретное знание а аль азмао пожертвовал собой. Руккхадевата уменьшилась до тела пордостка по типу Фурины и уменьшилась до размера Нахиды за каждое использование силы, было сказано в видео как её длинные волосы сильно уменьшились. Хто демонстрация её полной и ослабленной силы

[@fictionalcharactersarehot]

rukkhadevata is too gorgeous to be real 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️

[@liz651]

Zhongli did say the traveler is witnessed. Therefore, we will always remember this. 4th wall breaking.

Что за стена четвёртая?

[@user-oy8bp5td9x]

素敵な作品をこの世に生み出してくださってありがとうございます。 言葉を失ってしまう程に美しかったです。

[@rhanielyt9946]

The story of King Deshret and Greater Lord Rukkhadevata is truly beautiful

[@seraphi3387]

Bro this gave me chills to see the sheer majesty and magnificence of King Deshret's kingdom. Makes me wish for the Traveler to go back in time to see this in person and we can travel around the kingdom to see the amazing architecture and interact with the civilians. It would be so cool. Same for the other ancient ruins we see around Teyvat.

[@TheMelucifer]

I even don't know the whole story yet, but I cried so hard!! The way rukkudavata didn't hesitate to help and the way King deshret gone... I can't help but it break my heart-

[@user-fh1os5yr6m]

キングデシェレトの実在性すごい感じられるし、マハールッカデヴァタがたしかにスメールのために尽力した姿が見られて嬉しい

[@anikastover3145]

It's crazy how relatable this is too old Egypt and how they have fallen. You can totally see what exactly Hoyo got inspired by. Love how this work has it perfectly translated into this beautiful animation!

[@nerdreturn9528]

I can’t believe I didn’t see this until today. This is a amazing fan work, the art and music go together wonderfully. I wish we could get some more desert lore between Deshret, Rukkadevata, and the Godess of Flowers. If anyone has any lore websites they enjoy, whether it be desert, abyss, dainsleff, world quests etc please do share! Thank you :D

[@orein1880]

Holy why is everyone so pretty-

[@Deadinside.0]

Not me simping for this guy while everyone is talking about serious shit and stuff

[@YuseiLover18]

I hope one day we get to see what Deshret actually looked like. Similar to how we first saw Guizhong.

[@PurplexxInuxBokuSS]

This is insanely top quality. It even got the Genshin art style 100%. Sumeru storyline is honestly the best one out of all the nations so far, and I can't wait to see how the next regions stack up.

[@farifairis7388]

You are the real god and hero, Lord Rukhadevatte..! You save the world, while the others destroy a kingdom..

[@jinnatraihan4842]

man genshin is diving deep after the sumeru archon quests.i wonder what emotional disaster awaits us in natlan considering its a nation raged with war

[@mugic8241]

It’s officially been one year since this came out and it still feels kinda new

[@Direk_Carla]

This is awesome presentation!.. the sands and the forest will never forget~

[@rebekahgarrow2390]

Imagine if they had this soundtrack playing at King Deshret's Mausoleum when you walk in. It would be like the final story of his legacy. Or even getting to see this video in the game. King Deshret's story ans Greater Lord's are both so tragic but love filled. It always makes me sad that all that remains is ruins and legends of the two great leaders

[@caladensama3479]

If only we can have a event where the travelers lost sibling helped Deshert and the Goddess during that crisis. Opening up the possibility of Deshert banner.

[@reireireitard]

I'm barking for king deshret

[@1313fina]

大慈树王真的好坚强啊。从原本的三人组变成两人后来变成一人。最后连着一个人为了须弥，为了整个提瓦特，牺牲了人们对她的记忆，自愿被消除。

[@fr0ck360]

Rukkhadevata 🤝 King Deshret Being actual homies despite being distant of their own beliefs and knowing the risk of ending their existence. I wish she was playable

[@vortexclue]

She's playable bruh. She's nahida now he pluck the purest branch in irminsul to create nahida her next incarnation.

[@fr0ck360]

⁠@@vortexclueBruh I love Nahida being cracked and all. But, Rukkhadevata’s design is so pretty and such a wasted opportunity. Coping for 5 star skin of her

[@crunchycheesecake659]

Ok but why is king deshret so fine 😳

[@kerberonos5632]

Wow, i just follow the story with only text, but this... is really masterpiece

[@Thenerdybirdy33]

hoping we get to travel our siblings journey for a short while at some point. Really want to see Rukkhadevata proper in game.

[@marcusaurelius4777]

Nahida skin when? lol

[@comesu6716]

​@@marcusaurelius4777that would be the biggest buff to her alrdy cracked kit. Her sales would skyrocket 💀

[@R.victorhugo.S]

When you feel chills is your whole body for 3 minutes straight... You know you just watched a masterpiece.... That's amazing and I don't have enough words to describe it. Thank you for that amazing video and work!

[@EvanPrecieux]

hoyo labs has one of the best animation teams i almost cried

[@comesu6716]

This is fanmade

[@h2musicChannel]

RUKKHADEVATAAAA ! May the Teyvat forget u, but i never

[@anant1649]

Everything is so creative and amazing, I loved king deshert so muchhh the golden eyeliner is sooo creative!

[@Rose-zd6jg]

I really wish we could meet King Deshret, he seems like a kind yet cool god, He looked at his people with such care in his eyes he wanted peace for his people and he was completely ready to lay his life down for their protection. P.S. Anyone think it possible for Cyno to be like some kind of descendent of King Deshret or maybe a reincarnation, I only think this because their looks and personality's kind of match up. And its not all that far fetched considering a few other characters we've met and quests we've done. I'm just wondering because that would make a great story quest and it could also mean Cyno might be the one to restore the desert and its people to its former glory. (with the help of Nahida and others of course)

[@HaruFelx]

Right? I mean cyno is hiding something... Its not him hiding it, but hoyo is hiding his lore lmao

[@xoly9979]

This is fan-made And cyno is just a descendant of deshrets former servant That's all there is to their relationship Cyno doesn't hide any lore 😅

[@kaneki-t]

I honestly still can't believe that this is fan made. Good job everyone!

[@Iah4realzies]

I- I need to know more about Deshret omg. I MUST KNOW EVERYTHING WHERE CAN I LEARN THE LORE! 😭😭😭

[@animecafe1142]

nothing could match the hype of sumeru

[@Livan-yuruikami]

King deshret's look is an absolute masterpiece

[@SamuraiSx19]

This was so far my favorite quest region and the lore of Deshret, Nabu and Liloupar just made my heart cry.. gosh this video enraptured emotions wildly 😢❤

[@dustandsparkle62]

The desert is already a HOT place, why the King Deshret is even HOTTER Man I rewind the scene where he tossed away his cape🥰😍 it's the HOTTEST

[@ArlechinoMF19]

I hope ufotable will do about This section of the story as well

[@roahnosh]

I love it this provide us players lore and actually visualize the majesty and grandeur of the era when King Deshret ruled the desert. I haven't yet explored the desert part but now I know there are cities buried beneath the sands. I mean the game actually implies this but to see it in this video is a whole different experience.

[@byme5756]

Can they pls make a movie 2 hours long about this forbidden knowledge as a whole thing? I mean look at this fan made short movie??just imagine how amazing it is if they make it

[@baquithemonkey5330]

So beautifully yet tragically portrayed, and the music was fantastic. I love every second of it

[@NahualUlloa]

There is soooo much potential for the anime series and possibly movies covering plots like theses, just like the Fate series just Ufo please gooo hard on the lore and create a lot of stuff.

[@Mari_Say]

This so beautiful that I'm almost teared up 😭❤️ The story of King Deshret's and Rukkhadevata sacrifice will always be one of the saddest and heroic! 🌿 Thank you so much for this! 🌺

[@cep3ak]

she exhausted her strength and her form became that small child

[@-K423-]

Imagine creating a story about three godkings of Sumeru with a production level on par with the Dune series. It would bring me so much happiness.

[@zer0ix956]

Fate of the archons of Sumeru are the most tragic so far. They were misunderstood, misinterpreted and lastly one of them even got erased entirely from history.

[@K.NyanTao]

OMG what a masterpiece the animation the background music its a perfection 💕

[@s.k.nathuriel4269]

the flute parts are just majestic, full of emotions...what an amazing work you and your team has done ^^

He kinda looks like Cyno and that makes it better.

[@genshin_boost7831]

So this is fan made... The talent is on another level... Great job
