I feel like it’s no coincidence that Albedo and Kaeya were planted in Mond together. It wouldn’t surprise me if Rhinedottir and Kaeya’s father are colluding together. If I’m not mistaken aren’t the Rhinemaidens and Alberich connected?

[@Minsleif]

YES!!! you are absolutely correct hehe

[@Allthingsasian]

@@Minsleif I love your videos by the way 💗💗 thank you so much for all the lore theories and videos. So excited to see Dain and Kaeya Tomorrow! Also it’s crazy we still don’t know Kaeya’s dad’s name yet 😂😭

“We should actually fear whatever descends from the skies.” I’m curious if this is why Zhongli, Yae, and Nahida each try to justify the transferences of their gnoses, and if they think the traveler is a golem/archangel who’s gonna report back to the Heavenly Principles if the archons don’t give even the crappiest excuse. I’m also curious if the archons don’t wholeheartedly trust the traveler, or if they see him as an obstacle, despite the traveler’s intentions to protect Teyvat as long as they’re stuck there

[@Lemonorange367]

I’m confused. Zhongli is a descender isn’t he? If the (world) Trevat is 6000 years old and Zhongli is over 6000 years old he would have had to descend to Travat wouldn’t he? Is he one of those we should be afraid of? Also the travelers were summoned by the heavenly principal and are descenders as well! Though has information in Irmasol on their time in Trevat, the other lived with the Jester when he was a royal madge in Khaenri’ah,before Khaenri’ah fell. Before he becomes the Wanderer, Scaramouche tells the Traveler this information about their twin. He also says he doesn’t know when the twin arrived or left. Scaramouche says h the Jester told him this information. Kaeya has yet to make his final decision on what he will and won’t to Monstadt. With all these other countries we still have to play through, I feel much more will change over time.

[@gktte2574]

@@Lemonorange367 he isn't, i think there is a confusion about him descending. Him descending meant when he was still going down every year for the people of Liyue to cast words on what will be going on in the incoming year. He is not the "descender"

[@gustykraken]

@@Lemonorange367 i believe that he's one of the 7 dragon sovereigns, i.e. existing before teyvat's creation

[@typh2630]

I don’t wanna jump to conclusions, but every “higher being” who’s interacted with the traveler has no reason to doubt their character so far. Zhongli tells us that the reason he’s so open about sharing teyvats history with them is because they can act as a sort of safeguard for them should they ever disappear, he hopes that history could still exist somewhere. Nahida sounds genuinely fascinated by the traveler (very fitting) and by extension wants to learn all there is about who exactly this “alien” is and how they operate. Given everything and everyone they’ve met during their time here, I’m pretty sure they can sense and recognize the traveler is a gentle spirit, otherwise they’d have no reason to help them or even converse with them at all. I think this is baseless speculation, bcuz yes, there are obviously some things that gods can’t outright share with them but even then they don’t mind if they happen to come across and find those answers on their own, which is why zhongli refused to share what he knew when he was asked, yet also told them that if they want to know they have to find out themselves. Also none of those ppl had to “justify” anything to anyone, the traveler doesn’t inquire any further reason outside of just wanting to know for curiosities sake.

[@ShivamSharma-nk9sd]

​@@gustykraken same, as we saw in the first lantern right when morax death was faked.. His form is dragon

[@yenisluvr]

I just like the whole khaenriah lore. Personally the best storyline in the game

[@loocydity6119]

What we need.. is actually a SECOND Venti Quest. Like COME ON!! Ei and Zhongli both already had theirs and every archons' second story quest usually mentions Khaenri'ah. Imagine if Venti gets one, oh boy, the lore bomb is gonna be insane.

[@HauntedTS13]

That’s why but I’m so excited!! I feel like Venti is the key to put everything together. He knows literally everything and everything he does is with purpose. I’m excited for his second quest, especially since his first one wasn’t really about him

[@hopefearchild4957]

Imagine getting Venti drunk and he explains more about the other god and asks us to find him ingredients for his wine just to show us how to go under cider lake for shits and giggles.

[@KiroPerida]

My theory is that everything we did and will do in the game is what the other sibling did in the previous timeline. And the travelers fate would lead to what the sibling is now. And the sibling's fate is to be the traveler. It's a loop

[@alesthra]

Yeah. I agree with loop. Still, loop means that sustainer is part of it too. Tbh I'd love to have next volume of story to be about sustainer being sent to Teyvat instead. She loses her powers, just like traveller can resonate with elements, meets Paimon too, but unlike traveller she knows lots about Teyvat from the beginning and she tries to fix the loop. To see what's wrong with Teyvat. At the end she'll fight twins, but don't worry. Twins won't die. Sustainer won't die either. After the fight they come to a compromise with Paimon convincing Traveller that sustainer is not a villain, that she's an ally. Volume 3 would be about sustainer and twins joining forces against Demiurge and freeing Teyvat. Volume 4? I have no clue. Still, no matter what but twins,Paimon and sustainer remains a team which protects Teyvat or even entire universe from any threat. By the way. Imagine this...shades of Phanes are 4. Phanes is real God not imposter Demiurge. What if those 4 shades are: twins, Paimon and sustainer? That would make them 4 being inseparable team later even more.

[@Lendina7292]

​@@alesthra that would be really good.. and seeing sustainer in human from woah

[@Coffeine99]

think about it like this, Celestia came after the primordial one, what if the second who came, came from he Traveler's world after destroying it? The twins were sent here to unalive the second one but because of passage of time and the long travels and erosion, they forgot their goals. The retainer of heavenly principles trapped them here because (I Hope) she remembers their mission and the only way to make them remember is to trap them. The first twin recovered from the erosin earlier and began touring the regions, finding out about her/his true purpose and now we have to do the same. Basically we're anarchists in Teyvat but with good reason :D

[@maikcampbell]

Thinking about this. It’s truly sad how much Venti must have gone through to give the people of Mondstatt the illusion of freedom as an enforcer. He choose peace with Celestia but at the cost of lots of lives and his own happiness. No wonder he drinks

[@fakewibu9021]

After listening to Kaeya's story in Sumeru. I wonder, why almost Khaenri'ah remains (Albedo, Kaeya) went to Mondstad instead of Sumeru? Why they used Barbato's statue instead Buer's? Why did Durin attack Mondstad instead of Sumeru? Sumeru is the land of knowledge and wisdom, the land of the archon who guards irminsul. Why did they send the spy to Mondstad? Why did Albedo send to Mondstad to do his research? Why Alice has the title of the defender of old Mondstad, even though she is not from Mondstad and travelling through every region? Why is abyss fixated on Mondstad instead Sumeru?

[@cydzerlight1383]

The status in front of the church in monstadst had this words translated to 'door to celestia', i believe thats a portal wjere they will face the heavenly princip/3m

[@UnlimitedMichi]

Albedo was created after the fall of Khaenri'ah but still sus

[@oneandonly8746]

In the endgame mondstadt will be the most dangerous region

[@bakutiddies9895]

there are theories about mondstadt having a connection to celestia bc of the message in the statue of the seven (in front of the church). there's also that island that's not on the map that was a temple for the god of time, that has ruins underneath it (these ruins are under water and do not show up in the map) and it's connected to the thousand winds temple (i think it was also meant to worship istaroth) point is, there are many things pointing towards mondstadt having a link to celestia. so maybe mondstadt is the beginning and the end of our journey

[@charliesheet6699]

cant say albedo was planted in mond since alice is the only person who knows his creator gold. It's like calling your mother's best friend "aunt" when they're around bc they see each other as siblings. (but yea, still sus) durin attacking mondstadt might be the effect of the abyssal corruption(?) since abyss' goal is to F with celestia and mond is literally the gate to celestia.

[@spyrothetimelord]

honestly, i like the idea that Kaeya's mission as the last hope is just to carry on living peacefully, and that Albedo's mission is to understand how and what makes him truly human now (namely, his emotions and humanity, relationships, etc). We probably won't meet Alice until the next region of Mondstadt is released, but even with the little we know of her, she views the people of Mondstadt as family and Gold is her friend (?), so i don't think Gold herself would make Albedo attack Mond, unless maybe to see if his desire to protect the relationships he built is strong enough to stop him? idk the characters i'm looking forward to having/seeing most are Gold, Alice, Skirk, and anyone else related to the Hexen... Mona's thing lol. I'm also curious of anyone in Diluc's network (still waiting for someone to be affiliated with Dawn Winery like him... it can be me Diluc I'll join your team)

[@spyrothetimelord]

side note, i appreciate that your videos are rather short and concise. I don't have a lot of time to read the lore or watch videos, so shorter ones are much nicer to see

[@froztfire_]

Do you remember during the sumeru archon quest we see the same boxes of unknown God near irminsul and we know both irminsul and khanri ah are deep underground so it is possible that they were closer to each other and the people of khanri ah have saw something about gods so they challenged them and heavenly principles killed them so no one knows about the truth and some of the boxes might have come near to irminsul

[@jinminchoi838]

After the 3.5 event quest, I ought to believe that Monstadt being the city of freedom is a secure haven for the group of Witches and their successors and many others. Albedo and Klee are there because of Alice and Barbato's connection. Lisa also chose to settle there. Kaeya was sent there I think coz it's much safer to hide his identity.

[@yunamoonlight1015]

8:40 A Geo Tiara is missing as well. So the Geo Tiara would probably have something to do with the Ancient Civilization of the Upside-Down City in the Chasm, the Dendro Tiara most likely has to do with Khaenri'ah and the Anemo Tiara has something to do with whatever Civilization is hidden under Cider Lake.

[@brahmaduttamahapatra4222]

wait! mond was ruled by deccrebian and venti rose to godhood later. Kanriah and mond doesnt seem to have coexisted at that point. But monstat sent its army to destroy monsters to kanriah so they seem arguably close.

[@tiffanysthoughts9040]

Hi! A german viewer here! I personally wouldn't translate 'Nachtvorhang' to 'Night Realm' but to 'Curtain of Night' meaning the approaching darkness of night. This however doesn't take away from your great theory! 😍💙

[@Minsleif]

Ahh thank u for this!! ; - ;

[@iamspencerx]

Also Dämmerung isn't exactly dawn, it could be, but not always. Dämmerung is twilight, so it could be either dawn or dusk. Dusk is called Nachtdämmerung, while dawn is Morgendämmerung. I'd translate it as "the night curtain is the nemesis of the twilight"

[@The_King_Of_Craziness]

Ok that Wagner caught me off Guard 😂 🤣 💀

[@kiwipower3352]

[@arashi_no18]

Could pimon be the forgotten god of time by any chance. She always had some links with time. Like only appearing on the menu screen when time is stopped and everything is frozen but she keeps moving. And also the chasam quest it seems the time was relatively fast for her than other persons present there.

[@Grimsoul09]

Wouldn’t she be resistant to the changes then more than anyone else. Also, it’s thought that the voice at the end of sumeru AQ. No confirmations yet tho but that makes the most sense.

[@Glacier7474]

Dainsleif also says that he will go against Albedo and stop him if Albedo ever goes out of control. So in the future we can expect Traveller and Dain vs Gold or her other creations alongside Albedo

[@Wind.flower_]

4:58 seeing Wagner like that caught me off guard

[@Moon1tan]

While I did notice early on that the Khaen from Khaenriah could be read as خائن in Arabic I didn't think that riah could possibly be رياح (it didn't click at the time since I assumed that middle eastern influences would be exclusive to sumeru so I wasn't thinking too much about it early on but with everything we know about sumeru now it makes sense) Though besides the name, one other thing that came from our history is the use of the phrase Khemiya for Rhinedottir's form of Alchemy For those who don't know, Chemistry as a science originated from the middle east The word Kemiya (كيماء), or specifically Al-kemiya (الكيمياء) literally means Chemical in Arabic Won't go into too much details on the historical events to keep things simple but eventually it became Alchemy in English before Chemistry Honestly this just makes me even more excited for the new Dain quest and to learn more about Khaenriah to see what else they include from middle eastern history/language It's fun to notice references to things I'm familiar with culturally in media I like Great work as always Minsleif!

[@yunamoonlight1015]

Well, since we now know that Khaenri'ah is literally located beneath Sumeru the arabic references make sense! Damn, that was an insane lore drop!!!

[@Moon1tan]

@Yuna Moonlight yep with that bit of info as well as the lore of the ruin golems it all makes sense now I thought the Khemiya part was probably a coincidence since clearly the research team wanted to use the origin/root of Alchemy in real life which is AlKemiya in Arabic due to its history However the rest I thought was probably unintentional I'll have to keep my eyes out for future khaenriah lore with this in mind from now on

[@yunamoonlight1015]

@@Moon1tan Same!!! I swear, the lore of this game never stops to amaze me!!! ^^

[@iamspencerx]

This is a very copium take. All accounts in the game about Khaenreah say it was a proud nation and an aspiration for the others, yet because of words that sound more or less the same you think it means "traitor [of the] winds". Not only is the name not even grammatically correct in Arabic to support this idea (it should be الرياح الخائنة or خائن الرياح but definitely not خائن رياح), the very nature of their nation doesn't support having such a name, this is more a name for a person or a gang of bandits, and definitely not one of a proud and prominent nation. Also the word Kemia now means chemistry, but that wasn't always the case. It was just alchemy at first, and later the science based part that we now call chemistry separated from alchemy but kept the name Kemia. The non science based part kept the name alchemy but was called Khemia in Arabic.

[@Kanashimi24]

Having shadows under water doesn't automatically means a ruin underground. There is Shadow all over Liyue sea like Wangshu Inn, Dihua Marsh. Lingju Pass, Qingxu Pool is basically all shadows.

Theres a lot of red flags towards the destruction of mondstadt even Dainsleif emphasizes this a lot, far into the future mond will experience a great calamity wiping out everyone even their beloved archon plus the fact that literal Khaenri'ahns are amongst them, mond is basically like a ticking time bomb waiting to explode, everything is so calm with mond for now...because later on it will be catastrophic. They will meet their demise at the hands of The Abyss order

[@xsupremeyx9923]

Well also the fact that the Abyss Sibling descended on Khaenriah first and then Khaenriah met it's ultimate demise which ultimately made the sibling choose his/her path with the Abyss Now the Traveller descended into Mondstadt first, if Mondstadt meets it's ultimate demise somehow then the Traveller might choose his/her ultimate allegiance after that event.

[@harukinakamura6630]

@@xsupremeyx9923 thats what im thinking too i think mondstadt will be the next "khaenri'ah" this also brings possible death flags to venti since im assuming he will attempt to defend mond from the aAssault of the Abyssal forces, and i think Albedo will be the catalyst for the destruction of mond he'll be like Rheindottir 2.0

[@lkrdp9463]

I always vaguely thought that the shadows found in the coasts of Teyvat waters were somehow related to the ruins below, particularly in Tsurumi and Watasumi. So, this vid reinforces that. I am now more certain that Khaenriah may be the whole Teyvat since it was stated in Enkanomiya that the ancient civilization was found throughout the world. Khaenriah may also be responsible for the domains in Teyvat. Also, perhaps Khaenriah is continuously fighting against descenders since it (and humanity) were created by the first descender, Phanes. And that maybe Abyss is also an alien force that can be considered Descender which corrupts and transforms creatures.

[@yunamoonlight1015]

Perhaps Khaenri'ah isn't exactly a single nation even. (I kind of have the irrational urge to go and count how many hilichurls there are to make an estimation for not full-blooded Khaenri'ahn citizens. But of course I won't do it, because that would be an absolutely ridiculous undertaking which probably wouldn't even yield any viable results, because Hoyoverse most likely didn't keep stuff like this in mind and just randomly placed Hilichurls literally everywhere.)

[@lkrdp9463]

@@yunamoonlight1015 Well tbf, referring to hilichurls is kinda iffy because from the clue in the ruin golem in the desert it is implied that transformation into hilichurl is a result of some curse that hardens skin and abnormal hair growth (prolly eleazar), so anyone having the curse MAY become a hilichurl. I was also specifically basing off on the underground ruin architecture from Decarabian/Stormterror's Lair, Sal Vindagnyr, Liyue Ruins, Tsurumi Underground Ruins, Enkanomiya, and Sumeru Rainforest Underground Ruins (desert ruins kinda have their unique architecture due to high civilization by Deshret). So im expecting similar architecture from fontaine til snezhnaya. Unless Natlan has different ruin architecture like in the desert. Sorry for the long reply im just excited abt all these similarities XD Also, it was said that the Jinn are descendants of the Seelie race iirc from the Liloupar quests, and we know that seelie are everywhere as well.

Heyho German bloke here with a very minor nitpick. I would translate Nachtvorhang with either night curtain or night veil. The first would be the literal translation while the second makes a little more sense within the context. Haven’t really heard anyone use Vorhang as a word for realm though. Not sure if this changes anything. Btw. I love that you go out of your way to use the correctly pronounce words like Mondstadt. For a native speaker it sounds much more natural this way.

[@Suited_Nat]

2:22 to add onto this, Dainsleif talks about if albedo were to destroy Teyvat that he’d do anything to stop it. Like as in- it holds a lot of weight, especially since Dainsleif is known for not directly interfering with the “flow of time” within Teyvat. Either way- I still love all the Khaenri’ahn lore and ur channel. It motivates me to make like- catalogue docs of my fav Khaenri’ahn characters: Ie: Kaeya, Dain, Albedo.

In the video about bevore sun and moon, it's said that "If there was hunger the heavens would bring down food and rain. If there was poverty the earth would bring forth its riches. If melancholy were to spread the heavens would reply with their voices." If the other shining shades, like Istaroth, have a second element, then this could indicate which elements these are. I would assume Dendro, Hydro, Geo and well Istaroth is often referenced with female singers in the soundtracks, so the voices could be a nod to her. I say second element, because there is a theory that the other three shades are the gods of life, death and space, since together with time these are the limits of human life. There is a video on this by IslandXD titeled "How Paimon LEAKED Her Own Identity" that talks about the shades and what powers they might (have) possess(ed).

[@FaeriePrince]

I do kinda buy into the idea that Kanri'ah and Monstadt are two societies that split during the primordial era, but I have some beef with how you described the two splitting. You have said that Monstadt "accepted to be controlled" but I would not describe it that way. Monstadt has always valued freedom (and has always been free or fighting to be free), whether under the aristocracy or all the way back to the primordial era. In the primordial era, they were under Istaroth's care (we get hints of this from the "Time and Wind" quest), and since Istaroth is the Shade of Wind and Time, she care for freedom because "wind" (or anemo) has always represented freedom. We also know that when the Second Throne descended on the world, Istaroth fought for "freedom" from their "rule". Another thing to note is that both Monstadt and Kaenri'ah care deeply about freedom from oppressive/divine rule. The difference is that Monstadt always chooses to revere the gods who "rule" them (Barbados, and in the past, Istaroth who both barely seemed to rule, let alone control their people), while Kahnri'ah wishes to be free of divine rule entirely.

[@ZakiAoi]

Yo, Why your outro slap so hard? 🥰🥰🥰

[@Coffeine99]

it's quite simple. I had a theory some time back (I haven't even started sumeru quests) that Celestia, the thing really high up in the sky....is a PRISON. The second god that came and defeated the Primordial one was actually an interstellar being who destroyed their own world and had to flee to Teyvat to hide from it's fate of death which is to be sealed by The Traveller twins (who aren't from Kaenhiah, but are interstellar travellers) and maybe the god/woman we see at the beginning of the game who traps us here, maybe because we, as the travellers forgot our goals due to erosion or memory loss. Celestia (the thing in the sky) now rules Teyvat and was keeping the 7 archons as their last line of defense against the traveller twins but the archons (most of them) seem to have realized that it is a trap and are hence, giving their gnoses away. The Prison holds the Primordial one and the seven shades who are much weaker now due to constant corrosion. Anybody who ascends to celestia is kept there, brainwashed to fight for selestia when the time comes. In the end, monsters will rain from the skies and the Archons will side with the traveller. As a by product of winning the war against celestia, the whole 'God' thing will be over and Kaenhiah will rise.

The end of the video literally foreshadowed the newest reveal that Khaenri'ah is located under Sumeru 😅

[@ilios-kai-fengari]

Rhine didn't have enough just destroying Khaenri'ah. NO. She had to send her child to destroy Mondstadt as well

[@edvardbenes3114]

Maybe a bit of a stretch but if the tsarista and the abyss order want to reach celestia, what if they are somehow connected? maybe the twin and the tsarista have something like a deal or something, i mean the fatui have no intention to stop the abyss while lots of others do. maybe the tsarista is part of the abyss? or maybe the twin is part of the fatui, or they could be entirely seperated but i dont know how genshin will end with both of them wanting to reach celestia, unless of course they are somehow connected

I think monstadt and khaenriah were near each other

Its strange how there are theories saying how, supposedly, Khaenriah is near Mondstadt in some way but, at the same time, with the recent patches, Khaenriah is below Sumeru

[@anaplaysstuff]

How have the recent patches suggested Khaenri'ah is below Sumeru?

I can Assure u as a South Asian (or specifically Indian) that Sumeru if not most, half of it is at the least based on Hindu and Muslim Culture or should i say its based on Indian culture and history generally

No, it's actually Indian/Arab/Egyptian based.

It's really nice how you try to pronounce Mondstadt correctly! I don't think any other creater does this.

[@Rafooling]

In fact she does pronounce it incorrectly, it's a German word "st" should be pronounced as "sh" Not "J".

[@Rafooling]

And "D" is almost not pronounced at all. So it's Monshtat

[@FuyuYuki92]

@@Rafooling I know that, I'm German, but she's definitely putting in much more effort than other creators and I think that's nice.

I read the Genshin Impact lore, because it's the most detailed, spiraling, riveting rabbit hole I've ever had the pleasure of falling into, but I'm new to your channel, so I'm at a loss for words other than questions. Um. Is that the VA for Paimon collaborating with you, or is that your impression of the VA for Paimon?

[@Minsleif]

My impression of Paimon ☺️💙

[@dustinsanity85]

@@Minsleif That's insane! I was so surprised she popped up I thought it was a real collab! That's such a good impression!

[@Enochnes]

the 8 pointed star is the symbol of ishtar/inanna from sumerian mythology and in the genshin universe we have an ishtaroth they're the same characters from different mythologies isthar from sumerian and astharoth from demonology and astarte

Interesting. If Mondstat and Khaerina'h was one nation, why is Khareina'h near Sumeru, while Mondstadt is not?

didn't traveler fished Paimon out of Cider Lake? Paimon is becoming more sus every min.
