Kusanali and Rukkhadevata - Chronicles of the Dendro Archons (Genshin Impact Lore)

[@rishisharma5827]

I can’t help but feel that rukkhadevata always ended up cleaning other people’s messes, resorting to even gruesome means like sacrificing desret or using hydro archons body to sustain teyvat. While celestia and desret were busy in politics, she and nabu malikata were the ones who were left with the ugly parts of dealing with the consequences.

[@acostureirinha]

Yeah, just like in real life the nature accepts our humanization destruction of it, even if we depend on it to survive. We eat it, burn it, destroy it, and it keeps on giving us it's gifts 💔

Important note at 4:15 After Nabu Malikata's death, the city of Ay-Khanoum-ruled by the three gods-was destroyed. As a result, the people of the three gods scattered throughout the desert. This was when the city of Gurabad was first founded as a vassal state (a state which has its own ruler but admits as a subject to another state; in this case, Gurabad admits as a subject to King Deshret's civilization). This meant that Gurabad started to exist around the same time that Lord Rukkhadevata left King Deshret along with her devout followers to found their own civilization in the east. PS Gurabad was first destroyed before the death of King Deshret, when a Jinni named Liloupar sabotaged the city's human rulers. We know that King Deshret was still alive during this time because he punished Liloupar for causing the fall of Gurabad by splitting her into separate bottles. After King Deshret's death, the city of Gurabad was rebuilt as it so happened that it existed around one of the seven temples built during the spread of the forbidden knowledge in the desert, and then fell for the last time, never to rise again.

[@Indian_gae_boii]

wait i thought the three gods ruled another city together? vijayvalla was its name. ay khanouom was made by nabu malikata for the jeenies and it was jointly ruled by nabu malikata and dehret, no rukhdevta

[@isaiahhaley4816]

Sometimes I forget that ruhkkadahvata took the form of a child for 2000+ years I can only imagine her as a adult when we saw that cut scene which means that the other archons (specifically venti and zhongli only remember her as a child) meaning that their memories wouldn’t be much affected, considering they don’t know much about her

[@JoshuaA1307]

I speculate that the part of Rukadevata turning into a child was actually a Nahida effect (aka the original dendro archon used all its power and sacrificed themselves and made Rukadevata the new dendro archon while erasing the previous archon)

[@morax5015]

if all 3 gods: Rukha, Deshret and Nabumalikata survived to to this day Sumeru would probably rival or even surpass Fontaine in terms of technology..

[@mahibmansibriju9136]

I mean just look at dashreets invention. I think it already exceeded fontaine in terms of technology but was destroyed

[@WackyChu]

I love rukkhadevata’s design! It’s so ethereal but one thing I wish they touched on more was where Nahida was born. I guess she just popped out of thin air in the desert. I’m really curious to learn more about the new hydro archon’s creation and how she became the archon now.

[@robertmelconde8151]

yes good lore their was another in some theory players said that the beginning of sumeru archon quest when you go to the statue of the seven sumeru you can hear the faint voice of rukka said "world forget me" when you finish the archon quest of sumeru you cannot hear it anymore because rukka was already remove/forget

[@WhiteKoneko]

Well done as always. Fair de well our dear Sumeru. Maybe next year fall event Nahida can have a proper birthday festival full fun and smiles wishing her "Happy Birthday" like she so rightfully deserved but was robbed of by Azar and his group and the Fatui. I would love that very much for our Yakshini tree fairy goddess as she deserves the world. For now it is off to Fontaine to take our part for this curtain call. *hums Arabian Nights as I leave Sumeru*

[@kayleighdriessen]

I doubt that, Nahida's just gonna be like the other characters who's birthdays are rarely to never celebrated in Genshin Impact as special events aside from maybe their voicelines of reading their birthday-letters.

[@8niidle13]

A topic I would love to see you cover: everything we learned about the aranara. I was too lazy to read all that text during the aranara quests, so I still have no clue what they are, where they came from, or what we did. A summary with some additional lore from other sources would therefore be much appreciated!

[@Leon-yg5gm]

certainly the saying of Rukkhadevata "taking the form of a child" after using her powers to fight against deshret's forbidden knowledge is just when Rukkhadevata replaced the irminsul avatar before her, right? Since that's now the story with nahida taking the form of a child after using all of her powers fighting in the cataclysm once Rukkhadevata was erased from the world's memories.

[@SiliconOneFour]

I mean it's certainly possible, that would be really interesting actually!

[@icecell]

I really love how Zhongli travels places depending on the topic. ✨️

[@KurtacusRex]

Various parts, especially the aranara environmental details, hint our sibling passed through on their journey. Im curious, when was their journey relative to all of this? for example, the travelers were leaving, so if the sibling passed through when nahida was found the PAIR would have initially landed sometime around the end of Deshrets reign.

[@dylan_brauns]

Okay, given the two teaser trailers we've gotten on Fontaine so far, could it be argued that the kids (Rene and Jakob) from the investigation notes, are of the Melusine species? Idk, if this was covered already, but I just thought about it. Maybe Melusines don't eat? Great video as always!💙

[@jackreacher7495]

Wouldn't anything we believe Nahida did actually have been accredited to Rukkh? That's how we'll know of her deeds

[@MrGrimx1]

Thanks for another great video!

[@mohamedphoenix2866]

I heard indirect and unofficial news about dehya's dmg will increase in the coming versions

[@Necrochaosium]

We know apep was hit by a nail just after she ate deshret's remains and got apocalypsed (forbidden knowledge overflow) , the question is : is this the one that made her go from green to sand coloured or was there a nail earlier than that used somewhere else that caused changed the forest to sand and her colour. The maelstrom on mount davamand was probably the later nail. Deshret's kingdom rose when there was already sand much earlier than this.

[@SiliconOneFour]

There was just one nail, it fell before King Deshret's time.

[@Necrochaosium]

@@SiliconOneFour yeah your right I was misinterpreting it; the nail fell after the dragon king died before deshret got the forbidden knowledge himself.

[@ProfessionalPizza7]

Could you do a lore on ancient inazuma, mainly hibiki, teruyo, and michihiro and teruyo and the related people? And the iwakura 3 thing Love your videos

I definitely want to at some point soon, likely after Fontaine is out for a bit!

Maybe I'm remembering wrong but didn't kusanli talk to us first during an event?

[@thatguyjp2047]

Not that I remember. The first time we heard her was during the archon quest (but I might be wrong)

[@sparkknightella]

@@thatguyjp2047she talked to us during the Midsummer Islands event in 2.8! She stopped us from using the Dodocommunication device to contact venti!

[@anshnanavati]

Yes, she spoke with us at the end of the 2.8 midsummer island festival.

[@DavidJohnson-ib1dh]

So... you figure that Rukkhadevata goes to Tunigi twice? Once to create the big tree stump and the Gaokerena, then off to do something with the Irminsul and then back to Tunigi later on to help purify it... when she dies? But why would helping purify the tree stump kill her? It's not that hard to do so. Traveler does it without any real issues.

[@DavidJohnson-ib1dh]

Plus if the corruption in the tree stump is considered forbidden knowledge then why does it still exist after Nahida claims she got rid of it all? ie why does the Traveler have to purify it? Or are you saying that the tree stump used to be corrupted by forbidden knowledge and get cleaned regularly but now it's corrupted by something else, like Abyssal energy? and it's the same process to clean both corruptions? but wouldn't Nahida deleting all forbidden knowledge have obviated the need to purify the tree stump for a few decades at least? Or do you think it was always forbidden knowledge plus something else all along and when forbidden knowledge got globally zapped by Nahida the other stuff still needed purifying? That still feels like Zuran wouldn't be in such a hurry to get it done though.

[@SiliconOneFour]

No, she went to Tunigi and created the Harvisptokhm, went to Irminsul, and died. Simurgh purified the Harvisptokhm.

[@SiliconOneFour]

And the Harvisptokhm was corrupted by Abyssal energy, not forbidden knowledge. The Sign of Apaosha reflects the Abyss and corrupts the area below it.

[@DavidJohnson-ib1dh]

@@SiliconOneFour OK. That sounds more like it although you might have said it wrong on the video, or I heard it wrong. I thought you might have been putting the statement in the Folio of Foliage together with the rest of the lore in a clever way. It suggests Rukk. died in Tunigi, but if there had been two trips it changes things. Well whether you meant to say it or not, it's not a bad idea... but it has some issues. Another possibility is the Irminsul is at Tunigi somehow. I'd think it was a trivial detail except the changed version of Folio changes precisely this detail. And it just seems-- why? Is it going to be important?

[@DavidJohnson-ib1dh]

@@SiliconOneFour And it's purple, not red. If that really is a defining difference between Abyss and Forbidden Knowledge.

[@DustBowl.-_9]

Ok where is the place where the flower goddess died… maybe I haven’t done a quest or something but I haven’t seen that or the 3 thrones

[@SiliconOneFour]

We don't know where she died, but her cemetery is the Eternal Oasis made by King Deshret. You gain access to it during the Dirge of Bilqis Questline.

What did nahida do with the electro gnosis though? Did she just keep it or give it back to raiden

[@mybeaniebooz9601]

@@khaliquet1 oh thanks i forgot

[@pedrosilva-di4lg]

Nah I think you got the boss fight wrong. Basically what happened was: Dottore build an Eva for Freddy Mercury that was powered by the electro gnosis and all the nightmares of his Asian mom, but the to punish his misbehaving Nahida punished him by putting him in a Genjutsu loop until he felt sorry for being a naughty boy. Then Nahida slapped him on the back of his hand, he became depressed and attempted suicide. In the end Nahida adopted him and they all lived happily ever after. The End.

[@MrMaiio123]

On a silly note, Apep is not a they, Apep is a she

[@SiliconOneFour]

Throughout Nahida's Story Quest, they were actually referred to as 'it.'
