The Hexenzirkel Analysis/Speculation | Genshin Impact Lore

[@TheLaughingManLore]

Which is your favourite witch of the Hexenzirkel? I think it's Nicole for me right now.

[@morax5015]

rhinedottir

[@emz4320]

Old hag for me

[@hey7492]

Alice. She's been one of my favorite characters ever since I read her travel guide in 1.3♥️ can't wait for the Sumeru edition

[@alexfirth21]

I’d say the land of Night is Snezhnaya. If not the other two would be Immernachtreich place that Fischl claims or the Abyss. Reasoning Snezhnaya makes sense is the fact we saw Tsaritsa’s palace only at night, it’s known as Everwinter…winter has the least daylight of all seasons, and like you said that would be akin to polar night as no sun at all. Also Scarlett was wearing a very Snezhnayan looking outfit so her being pale and having light colored hair is a bit on the nose.

[@TheLaughingManLore]

That's what I thought too, it'd make sense wouldn't it? Though I've been told it isn't so who knows haha. I had an idea the land of night could be all of Teyvat too but it gets into Gnosticism and the world being of darkness and stuff which I thought would be too long to explain and probably isn't the case anyway. Really hope we get some good lore on it next patch!

[@spreadhappiness3250]

I hope they will release the rest of the pale princess and the 6 pigmies soon , I've read all of it and I can't wait for you to theorize about it , the book is really interesting.

[@TheLaughingManLore]

Ahh I hope we get some more of the book soon too! I've got a few scripts written that sort of cover it so now I need to find the time to record haha

[@Daktaros]

omg i love this!!! maybe random but something jumped out to me, the name day of anders being the 30th of november and determining the weather on christmas - that's kaeya's birthday i have a theory that diluc is genshin's jesus, because his birthday is the earliest date ascension day can fall (it's walpurgisnacht too which is interesting for different reasons lol) and because the dawn winery theme that's used for diluc's part in the silhouettes of the night video, could be referencing "greensleeves" but could also be referencing "what child is this" which is about jesus so the connection to both kaeya and christmas is hmMm...

[@TheLaughingManLore]

I love this comment! I had no idea about this connection, making me wonder about Kaeya's mother now who maybe was from Mond and why he was left there? Just speculating haha

[@Daktaros]

@@TheLaughingManLore truuue!! that's a good point :D and doesn't the khaenri'ahn star look like the star of bethlehem? especially the white one on the front of kaeya's clothes. idk if that's what they were going for with it but kind of sus

[@TheLaughingManLore]

@@Daktaros Just looked up the star of bethlehem and it really does, especially being elongated at the top and bottom. I'll be looking into that tonight I think, thanks for the info!

[@robertmelconde8151]

speculation by many theories is the other missing hexen is diluc mother and other is skirk(childe master) but what if skirk and diluc mother are one? Other possible theories that diluc mother if she is part of hexen are possible involve to the creation of the delusion because crepus ragvindr have this kind of weapon vision and others are fatui

[@TheLaughingManLore]

I hadn't thought of that but I did hear about the teapot at the witches tea party being similar to the one in Dawn Winery - that'd be a pretty amazing reveal if she was one of the witches. I hope she was now haha. I always thought of Skirk as more of a melee combatant but tbf that doesn't mean she couldn't be a witch too, I hope we get anything more on Skirk other than one mention.

[@LadyCorax]

I suspect the I/J discrepancy may be a conflation of Julia with Iulia, either intentionally or as an artifact from translation

[@Jinkani]

Ashikai has a video over this as well and make this connection. It was a historical thing as well that J/I interchangeable

[@TheLaughingManLore]

Ahh I hadn't thought of that, sort of like in the older languages where they were basically the same letter? That could explain it quite nicely yeah.

[@hey7492]

For me, the 2 unknown members are Skirk and Istaroth herself Istaroth being more like a founder or a past leader who disappeared It's likely Alice and Istaroth knew each other bc of Enkanomiya, and now we got information that Barbatos was challenged by Hexenzirkel once, though they seem to be in good terms now. Also whole Hexenzirkel's job revolves around Ley lines which save memories, so I think initially Alice and Istaroth started working together perhaps at Istaroth's discontent with Celestia erasing things of the timeline, so she got Alice who's a descender to work with that, and I also think Hexenzirkel's main goal is to maintain balance as you've said. In both elemental matters and timeline matters. So Nicole talking to us right when wanderer erased himself, and her whole subject of study being Teyvat's direction and order is related to Hexenzirkel's goal itself. Good video :D Hexenzirkel has always been my favorite organization in genshin and I'm very happy we finally got more information about them

[@GhostEmblem]

Honestly your video are criminall underrated.

[@TheLaughingManLore]

Thanks Ghost! Glad you liked it!

[@Sacration]

Omg this is so good, I love this video damn, you got to be into something cause for me : Alice (Elysia) Rhinedottir (Eden/Gold) Nicole (Aponia) are the core members of their coven And that Barbeloth is the first humain or part of the first like its so fiting to not ne true . I also think that you are right about Magdaleine and Nottfrigga about being part of the groupe, I had my suspicions because of the inequal chairs, you juste wiped my suspicions away Also I think the Night Mother, the Abyss, the serpent of the Genesis Pearl and Marana are likely to be the same entity cause the later (Marana) does mean in the Sanskrit language Death (due to the onset of disases, poison or snake-bite) so for me it manifest into forbidden knowledge, wethering, abyssal corruption but thats just my theory 😅

[@TheLaughingManLore]

Those three are my favourite characters from ER so I hope we're right on them partly inspiring the three witches of the Hexenzirkel. Haha yeah it'd be funny if Barbeloth being called an "old hag" is actually even older than anyone expects her to be, like ancient. The twin sisters do fit into the group the best for me too but I always wonder if they're throwing out red herrings for us to be distracted by sometimes, I'm hoping the new Nymph artifact set having some more crumbs for us on the Hexenzirkel to help us out with all these mysteries. I've never heard of that! That's so interesting it's related to a snake bite. It seems to me that the divine are sort of taking over the place of/preventing proper death too somehow which could line up with Hoyo's games generally being humanity vs entropy/death. In this case it'd be like Celestia found a way of stalling against death/entropy but aren't able to "defeat" it, assuming the serpent is the personification/embodiment of death/entropy. Hope that made sense, this stuff can get so complicated haha.

[@Sacration]

@@TheLaughingManLore Same tbh. Yeah would be so funny im looking forward to see Barbeloth in Fontaine like you theorized. You know what? Very possible it would not be the first time anyway but Im lowkey confidant ahah Yeah really hope the sets talks about Nicole or about Fontaine im taking either eheh! I learnt about it after my first encounter with Marana's avatar in the aranyaka quest and im still chocked Wow didnt thought of that but it makes so much sense ! Cant wait to go further the rabbithole in futur updates Anyway keep up the good work !

[@SubutaiProduction]

Oh baby a 26min video! I know what I'm watching in bed tonight!

[@TheLaughingManLore]

Haha hope it doesn't give you any weird dreams!

[@sigimarar]

111 available subs???? HOW (it shows as no automatic but handmade holy..)

[@starlordprime4505]

Hey man you did a good job on 👍 genshin lore can see in the future doing a lore story on mona I would love to hear more of her story life 😎👍

[@TheLaughingManLore]

Thanks! I hope we get some more lore on her soon, I'd like to know what sort of training she went through with Barbeloth.

[@datguy6101]

Lets gooo

[@TheLaughingManLore]

Hope you found it interesting!

[@roseilver]

As someone who had read leaks of whole "Pale Princess and Six Pigmies" siries, your theory about their relation to Snezhnaya are actually wrong. That all i can say

[@TheLaughingManLore]

Ah well haha, thanks for letting me know without spoiling.

[@roseilver]
