During the Chasm/Archon Quest, a thing Lumine didn't take into account about Aether, is that shortly after seeing the shared memory, he is starting to deviate from his sister's ideals. The Abyss Leader expect that at end of their journey, their sibling would finally understand their reasons and join them, however, siblings always tends to be opposite from each other. Aether may be able to see the big picture of Teyvat, but that doesn't mean he approve of Lumine's choices.

[@bengreene4972]

They agree on some things, disagree on others, the traveller may begin to agree more with their sibling as they learn the truth of celestia, the gods, archons, khaenri’ah, the abyss, archon war, teyvats history, etc

[@unknown20005]

it’s pretty much like one big sibling dispute and we hear all this talk about archons being gods but why is nobody talking about the fact that aether and lumine are probably also gods and not just any gods but potentially the most powerful gods in existence capable of wielding all the archon’s power’s without needing a vision and capable of traveling through space itself and both are unknown in age we could also say that the siblings could be the representation of yin and yang or good and evil and your personal story it just depends on which one you choose at the start

I think it's more likely that the Traveler's memory of entering Teyvat was wayy, wayy before the Cataclysm. In the We Will Be Reunited Trailer, you see Lumine (or the Abyss sibling) kneeling down and clenching their fist against their chest, in front of what is described as The Cataclysm. It is most likely that the nation the Abyss sibling sees burning in front of them is Khaenri'ah, which is supported by Raiden Ei's animated sequence from the Inazuma Archon Quest, where she states, “ But I've seen a nation stride forward and lose everything to the Heavenly Principles ", where the same image of a burning nation is displayed. So if the travelers, who supposedly JUST entered Teyvat 500 years ago (during the Cataclysm), see this random nation burning aflame, I don't think the Abyss sibling would have made such an emotional gesture towards a place they weren't already emotionally invested in. Hence coming to the conclusion that the Travelers entered Teyvat a long time ago, and probably adventured all over the place. I know this doesn't really explain how the Abyss sibling was travelling partners with Dain, while the other sibling was somewhere else completely. But to be fair, Venti does have a voiceline that asks our Traveler if they can't remember him. Which is very sus.

[@lexiejvsrm7069]

Yeah but didn't Lumine decide to wake up Aether after seeing the cataclysm and escape Teyvat? Why is reviving "homeland" more important NOW? Something could have happened after she explored teyvat with dain bc she couldnt leave teyvat anyway and saw the true nature of the gods and all

[@callmeravenlee1972]

That’s true. He saw the unknown god AND remembers her obviously. But he attributes his sister’s disappearance to the abyss

[@astraySparrow]

@@callmeravenlee1972 that's because the Travelers introduction is confusing on purpose, by the time they face the Sustainer one of siblings is already a Abyss Sibling and wants to leave not only to continue their journey, but to protect the nation they took shelter at, it's mentioned that Abyss Sibling woke up earlier than MC, and we naturally assume Abyss Sibling woke up earlier after separation by the Sustainer, but in actuality Sustainer already knew and observed actions of Abyss Sibling and decided they won't let them escape, whilst our MC is completely clueless about what is going on, at that point they just woke up and don't even know the local language. So yeah by the time of meeting with the Sustainer our Sibling is already taken by the Abyss metaphorically speaking.

[@nightshiftsoleil4707]

Does anyone have any thoughts why the respective abyss twin is referred to as "Your Highness"? I feel like Khaenri'ah, a place with reverence for their original royalty (seeing Dain's self-loathing over failing to protect them) wouldn't so easily call a random helper like the twin, "Your Highness". This is also going off the assumption that the Abyss Order are completely made up of former Khaenri'ahns. Even though we've saved Mondstadt, Liyue, and Inazuma, no one really does so much as call us a hero of sorts. And the phrasing of 'homeland' specifically, represents deep emotional ties. For people who tout that they travel and call themselves adventurers, calling somewhere 'homeland' feels strange. It's such a specific term, not "home" or the "the land I call home", but "homeland", it sounds like something you'd hear from a nationalist of sorts. Hate and resentment over a number of centuries could probably corrupt the twin to some degree, fanaticizing their ideals, but blaming such terminology on 'corruption' feels narratively weak, to me at least. I also don't think the twins are the original royalty, or related to them, but I feel like they have very deep ties to Khaenri'ah in a way that hasn't been revealed yet. Or maybe Khaenri'ahn civilization has connections to something a lot deeper than just Teyvat. I also don't play Honkai, so I can't really make any comparisons there either. Granted I'm not terribly invested in hidden lore and haven't brushed up on the older archon quests so I could very well be missing something, but it's interesting.

[@alexfirth21]

I have a theory that Tsaritsa is a relative to Aether and Lumine, and likely crowned the abyss sibling Prince/Princess when he/she agreed to help the abyss. That or he/she is married to one of the Tsarita's children. Remember Katarina was introduced as her daughter in The Chasm.

[@Drave_Jr.]

I think the Lumine spent a while in Khaenri'ah before the Unknown God. Lumine spent a good amount of time, and her detached conversation with Dain implies this happened before the Fall, otherwise she would've mentioned he's a liar, also it makes little sense for Lumine to avenge a dead nation. We don't know how long the Travelers spend in a world, nor their age. These are the two main ways to check how they view home. Khaenri'ah is most likely Lumine's Mondstadt, in that she feels close because of the general feel it gave off. I'm sure many would want to avenge Mondstadt if it was destroyed.

[@ChillwithAster]

Most likely what happened is that Lumine rose to that position before OR after the cataclysm. Whatever eldritch being truly rules the abyss order is what appointed Lumine most likely. Lumine's royalty status would either have to be seeded from YEARS of dedicated service to Khaenriah (given we dont know how long she's been awake), or a promotion of some sorts after the Cataclysm

[@isdrakon9802]

I feel like she was simply the most qualified. If you look at lumine she does look like someone who'd be royalty, aether does as well to a lesser extent

[@leafdragoon8551]

It's possible that the dark mud may affected Lumine's memory, since we have seen people who are affected by the dark corruption have memory problems. She may actually believe that she and her brother are from Khaenri'ah and are royalty.

[@NioFiota]

Traveler reminds me of the Doctor from Doctor Who. Both have similar experiences to exploring worlds and meeting people and trying to fix whatever happens with companions (or a sibling for the Traveler's case) while also being ancient and nearly immortal. But that's it. The difference between these characters is that The Doctor does something called "Regeneration". When they "die" they get replaced by a new body with a new personality, though their core memories are intact. There's no text that tells about The Traveler's mortality so I assume they just don't age.

[@coxwang40]

It will be interesting if we consider K.K. as Kevin Kaslana of Houkai 3rd. That means the twins could be much more stronger than any Archon in Teyvat when Lumine and Aether take back their real power. As that power are based on Houkai energy, the twins also be able to destroy the whole Teyvat land. Therefore, the unknown god must consume much of her power to seal twins' real power, that would waken the Celestia and make Celestia unable to stop the coming revolt of the Archons. No doubt cryo Archon had sense the wakening of the Celestia and she decided to take this marvellous opportunity, other Archons, such as Morax and Barbatos, they took their best way to support cryo Archon's revolt.

[@jovelyndungog5366]

Nah kk and kevin have different honkai genes

[@Silber_Ag]

If the twins are from a world that died when Kevin Kaslana was around to say something, we do not know what world they're from, only that it was consumed by the honkai, like so many others, as Su observed. How are Visions, Gnoses, the abyss and the realm of light(Vishaps) related to the Honkai? What did the gods do to contain it? We don't see many Honkai Beasts or Zombies rampaging around, and the aggressive behavior of the ruin machines can be easily explained by their origin in a bellicose Khaen'riah. Are the Rifthounds Honkai Beasts? If so, what does that mean for Durin and Albedo? We only know that Genshin is certainly part of the honkaiverse. Who knows, maybe the full release of Star Rail has more answers, maybe the truth of the world sheds some light on that. What would a Herrscher in Teyvat do anyways? Until they truly unlock their powers, any archon obliterates them easily. Only some Herrschers and maybe some very rare individuals can tap into honkai power to a sufficient degree to actually destroy continents and the like. The Twins didn't seem like that. A MANTIS (or similar) can be incredibly powerful but mass destruction is usually a Herrscher thing.

So I think everyone and their mother knows the Project Arc theory for the travelers at this point, the Travelers are the two things the Previous Era of Honkai sent into space in order to preserve the human genome. Now I'm kinda colorblind, but don't Venti's eyes look like Earth when viewed from space? Not to mention cbt1 lines about the travelers escaping from the Honkai, we'll discard these since they probably changed it, but the world ending threat turning civilizations into dust is in line with mo of the Honkai. Btw its known that the PE couldn't have figured out cloning, so they most likely sent out people into space to preserve humanity, do with that information as you will.

[@bamgm14]

The Project Arc connection, while strong, has a few problems one being, as things stand, there is no official connection between Genshin and Honkai minus the extra party dialogue by K.K. While heavily implied, I think it's best not to run of it just yet. Not until we meet K.K. in Honkai since we know he is an actual character there. If K.K claims to be incharge of Arc, we have a our connection but if K.K i just an Observer, like Apocalypse with the Void Archives checking out Dvalin then we have a different set on our hands

Lumine being the leader of the abyss is a recent thing (from Karya) Also the heralds line from 2.6 Lumine flashback might suggest she might've been acting as sort of an advisor or something to the abyss because he says " so the proposal finally had your blessings" if she was the leader shouldn't it be something like she approved it or commands it. Blessing sounds a bit out of place seeing that Khenriahn's never believed in gods. If this the case it would suggest that their Chasm experiment was in preparation phase long before the sibling met or maybe even but before Arther woke up (after 500 years) I'm wondering if this is the case did the Abyss didn't have a leader before ? Because kaeya says "they're United under a single leader" To which Paimon says "they have a leader now?" So what was Lumine doing during that period and what was the abyss doing without a leader They most likely had alot of different faction amongst themselves because of kaeya emphasizing "United " If he was just telling us about how they have a leader he would've just said so I can think of two possibilities Either Lumine has been going solo across the world (most likely in the Dark sea) after the Cataclysm OR She didn't woke up 500 years ago (after encountering the sustainer) but a few years back, and something notable and interesting also happened a few years before Aether woke up, Alice left to investigate something dangerous Lines up too well to be a coincidence Something always bugged about the abyss sibling is, why wait for 500 years. Why not try to take over Dvalin when he was poisioned Also if Lumine indeed appeared and took over the abyss, around the time Alice left, then it would mean that Dain and Lymine's world tour took place before the Cataclysm I m think this is possible because she has almost opposite opinion of the God (from her wanting to end them) while Arther thinks of them as friends

[@BOverlord]

It's been confirmed by MiHoYo that Honkai Impact and Genshin Impact are in the same universe. The star devouring darkness is definitely the Honkai. K.K. is obviously either Kevin Kaslana or Kiana Kaslana (my bet is on Kevin because the Unknown God looks exactly like Kiana but the twins didn't recognize her, plus Kevin actually goes by K.K.). The Twins traverse the Sea of Quanta which contains bubble universes. Most likely Teyvat is one of them. Oh, and there's an official artpiece from Honkai 3rd Impact where an organization is actually watching what is happening on Teyvat. Basically Genshin is one of Honkai's Alternate Universe story events, but an entire game.

I have a problem with the currently accepted timeline... it just doesn't make sense that the Abyss Twin woke up almost immediately after being caught by the heavenly Principles. At various points it's been hinted that the Abyss Twin has been active since almost immediately after the Cataclysm. However... what if the fight between the Twins and the Heavenly Principles happened not after the disaster in Khaenri-ah, but before? That the Heavenly Principles was catching them because they had a specific role for them, with the Traveler Twin essentially taken hostage? That the horror at seeing the destruction is due to their realization they had a role in this? Their drive now to restore Khaenri-ah, a form of atonement? If the view of the destruction was indeed Starsnatch Cliff, then below, under all that destruction, was where the Traveler Twin was sealed away, so the Abyss Twin may well have thought their sibling lost in that disaster, hence wandering the world relatively directionless, until finally throwing their lot in with the Abyss order...

WARNING: SPOILERS Does nobody notice the similarity in the intro to wishing? when you get a character, they come out of the stars, in the form of a constellation segment, so maybe, the travellers were actually travellers sumonned by someone, because technically, when we wish, we summon characters and weapons On the other hand, if we look at many game mechanics, has anyone noticed that when you pause the screen, in co op, it doesn't pause everything? mobs can still move and hurt you, so maybe, paimon doesn't work when you go to another world, and possibly, co op, is a way of the traveller going through their own memories of their friends, but its plagued with tevyat. Considering that dainslief also has a galaxy cape, LIKE PAIMON, and a mask covering him, showing irreparable damage to that area, I can conclude that dainslief was the companion and "paimon" for the abyss sybling. Another thing to point out is their clothing, both of the twins are generally wearing clothes that could signify/show a status, so our abyss twin could possibly be true royalty, as the clothes we wear are forever, and the symbols on the clothes do not change either. Coming back to game mechanics, when you decide to change the time, instead of showing a simple clock, it shows an old clock capable of only moving 48 hours at a time, maybe, something like the bell's clock, in the description of the bell, it states that the weapon is old and its clock barely works anymore, keyword, being barely, it still means that it works to some extent, meaning that the clock in the bell, could possibly be a smaller version of the clock we see earlier. Possibly relating to the events of khaenriah and the abyss twin. Going back to dainslief being the paimon for the abyss twin, it could be that our abyss twin, created that clock, and on their adventure, people made replicas of sort, making the bell weapon with it. Another game mechanic in the time skip is how it almost always, goes up and shows the landscape, possibly indicating the traveller seeing the stars align in a way, the only place it doesn't happen, is sumeru, and as almost all of us know, sumeru, was in a samsara. Sumeru is also protected by the academia and 2 gnosises in the city, Scaramouche's gnosis & Nahida's gnosis, if this is true, it means that our time skipping ability is directly related to khaenriah, which is lessened/weakened in areas with great "celestial" power.

[@krys9463]

Thankfully there will be a new hoyoverse game soon called Honkai Star Rail, which I believe will have quite a few clues to the twins origins. Since your literally on a train that travels from planet to planet, so there's a chance that the characters will have at least heard about them. If the twins aren't from Project Ark, which they might not have but there's more lore to come about that, then things may have played out differently. For example their planet was destroyed however they were saved just in time, learned how to travel the galaxy and defend themselves, then left to find a new home. If we do get info about the twins through Star Rail then at most I think we'll be waiting until at least the second planet, by then we might be in Fontaine (maybe) it depends on when the game is fully released. On another note, the popular idea is that the gnostic chorus siblings are the twins. But I've been wondering if they are actually former pawns that failed to get the job done, whatever that may be.

I remember that all the archons have ideals. (From another video of yours i think)For example Ei got corrupted by those ideals and became more of a villain to Inazuma itself (Sakoku decree and vision hunt decree). Could that happen to Abyss sibling? I am going to word this diiferently. Lumine could have been blinded by wanting to bring her homeland back whether that homeland is khanre'ah or her actual homeland. I am not too deep into the lore but this could be possible. Her goal blinded her and now she just wants it back. Wants to have her own people, have a place to rule alongside with her brother. At the end, to have her brother understand why. It seems Aether doesnt agree with them already. ''To illuminate the bright upper sky'' It doesntt make much sense to me. I tried this because Lumine's name means ''to illuminate'' and Aether's says it means bright upper sky. All names have meanings so that mean's Hoyoverse's names probably also have meanings. IT seems weird to bring this up but it could be a clue for what could happen in the future. Almost everyone in the genshin lore train knows about Scaramouche and the fake sky. ''To illuminate the bright upper sky'' is just the action of illuminating the sky. This could as well just be nothing or a reference to how they came as stars long ago. Stars illuminate the sky. Of course this is just me rambling without coming to a direct answer so anyone who reads this could percieve this their own way

I have a theory, when the heavenly principal takes one of the siblings away from the other, she places one sibling in the past, another in the present or the other way around.. That's why one of the siblings information is in the IRMIMSUL.

Happy Anniversary! Thank you for your videos!

When you are talking about the unknown God in the background is the same on the loading screen Well you're waiting for the resources and data to load After it loads it has a door and the door has a bright light and send you through it I believe that the door is the gateway from the 2 dimensions when you 1st go to play the game

I just realised that Dainsleif's dash is very similar to Yelan's Do they use the sane magic ?

[@albedomain2446]

K.K. Kiana Kaslana, Kallen Kaslana, Kevin Kaslana. Hmm.. Maybe a Kaslana.

[@ChikyuuKun]

No.

I wish Lumine was the main traveler 💔

Genshin was confirmed to be a part of the honkaiverse. This makes things even more interesting for the Travelers.

[@gorgonzola9373]

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@Awesomesauceeee-f4d]

I got the musical Diagnosis about Genshin before the vid started 💀👍✨

[@NivaOranir]

I think you really need to get into the honkaiverse lore, genshin ties into it to a point where its not just theories but pretty deliberate parallels. Genshin might be another world but its still a parallel one to honkai 3rd's world.

[@dewitt4724]

Love your channel keep up the good work

[@leon6717]

Could it be that lumine is a doppleganger of sorts? Being that all things must come to an end in teyvat. Doppleganger are born when an immortal being does not die. And instead a shadow clone takes their place, this is improbable I just thought it was an idea.

[@detroider7844]

Please make a video on A.R. Because we can go to Inazuma at AR 30 and meet Dain only at AR 45 Maybe Sumeru will be available at AR 40 before meeting Dain

I'd like to think that they're made this way (mysterious) to be a blank paper for us to fill. Maybe we'll know the truth about them at the end of the story. Hopefully.

Hi! I love your videos

[@jonathanmatthews8862]

I wouldn’t put too much weight on the opening cutscene. It is a story telling mechanic. The events you witness are the events as the traveler remembers them. It is possible that the traveler does not properly remember what happened and what we witness is an inaccurate or incomplete scene.

[@stwawbewwycat9378]

Okay you are not going to believe me but my name is also aster but I say it as asteer a bit of a longer e sound , this is my first time watching a video of yours :)

I love your videos Aster!

[@Nyxaris_LnD]

I am insanely late but... I have a this question in my head and it won't go away. I am getting the impression (and I might be incredibly stupid too. I don't know), but I feel like Traveler slept twice? First time upon arriving (?), or later? And then, we sleep again for 500 years after the Unknown God seals the Traveler to prevent them from leaving Teyvat? O.O I might be wrong but I feel like we spent more years sleeping than awake in Teyvat 🤣

[@TsaritsaTheSnezhnaya]

Please update it after all New Region Archon quest

[@lockdown888-]

Khaenri'ah was destroyed the storyline same Æsir-Vanir war that was caused by Gullveig from Norse mythology ... In genshin it was war between Khaenri'ah and The 7 Nation but the reason still unknown maybe traveler siblings have made something that Heavenly Principles fear of..same as Gullveig that make Odin fear about her power ...when Khaenri'ah was destroyed by the cataclysm The Seven Nation fight with monster, abyss order (Khaenri'ah people) and Fatui that all represent to Ragnarok .. Ragnarok is the end of the world it was war between Æsir ,monster and Vanir correct me if I am wrong.... traveler siblings past lore same as Gullveig

[@Qmontun]

Wait... The battle pass cutscenes was about the traveler???

[@bloodyblue9117]

No but it’s a thought

[@nicolevelazquez344]

I’m still confused. So the traveler was asleep twice?

lol imagine if we are the unknown god's kids and shes just grounding us because we were fucking around the universe too much and neglecting our godly studies

[@elknolasshrineofraja3966]

❤️❤️

[@Sui0Generis]

So lemme get this straight, according to: dain and lumine, celestia is bad. the abyss order, celestia is bad. the fatui, celestia is bad. the vishaps, celestia is bad. the hilichurls, celestia is bad. so why the hell are they all in different factions fighting each other if they all have a common enemy and all of them have supposedly "learned the truth of the world"?

[@ChimeraLotietheBunny]
