    Not sure if this is foreshadowing or misdirection but in clorinde's storyquest an entity known as a "devorator" that influences people with weak wills from within. A certain abyss sibling is known to have a much weaker will than their traveller sibling. Maybe 500 years of being worn down by everything will do that to you, but it's a possible explanation for their sudden shift after visiting verdofnir's speaking stone.

    • @TheLaughingManLore
      @TheLaughingManLore 8 днів тому

      Nice find! I haven't done her quest yet but that word apparently means something like "devourer" which would fit with what I'd imagine the black serpent would be like as the abyss seems to devour and convert things. Interestingly, the Dusk Leviathan/Aeon Oroboros from HSR is known as the voracity because of it devouring everything, maybe they're using a similar concept.

    Great take on what could have happened in the cataclysm, basing it a little on faerun's netheril is cool in it's own way, even if this ISNT the story it makes me wish that you were right about this just because of how cool it is. Paimon definitely looks like a disempowered entity the question has always been who. Why not a disempowered istaroth?

I was shocked at the similarities between the Forgotten Realms and Genshin, started off with noticing they have a Mount Celestia ruled by 3 high gods and having 7 tome archons beneath them and then read up on Netheril and Abeir, I'm sure Genshin's writers must've used it as some inspiration.

    I would love to think that Nibelung is the 8th, bearing the light element. This aligns with the theory that he may be the 3rd descender from which all the gnoses (all colors) came from. We know now from Skirk and Arlecchino that when living things die, they sometimes leave their bonds to the world as curses. Like Clervie who was a special case and left a sentient "curse" after departing.

    • @TheLaughingManLore
      @TheLaughingManLore 11 днів тому

      I hadn't connected him possibly being the third descender and the light element being split up to create the gnoses but it fits really well doesn't it, even the curse around gnoses that Skirk mentions when things die. Maybe the curse around the gnoses would be stronger too due to Nibelung's corruption by forbidden knowledge before he was seemingly killed.

    Wow this is detective work! So far the most solid theory I have heard connecting the dots. What I find fascinating, is what people of Sumeru called Khaenrians... Like you mentioned, the name Khaenriah in Arabic means Betrayer of the Winds, but the people of Sumeru called them "Dahri" which could means atheists, but specifically Dahr means ithe infinite stretch of time, or time immemorial... And a Dahri only believe in time as the cause of creation not gods. So when you said Vedrfolnir holds a twisted reverence for Istaroth, it makes sense, and if time is the only god you acknowledge, being the "wind witherer" definitely makes you a sinner.

    • @TheLaughingManLore
      @TheLaughingManLore 11 днів тому

      I totally forgot about the Dahri meaning! That's a really good catch, I just found this quote related to it from the Koran where "the miscreants" (dahri) say: “What is there but our life in this world? We die and we live. Only time (al-dahr) can cause our death.” I wonder if killing/stealing the powers of Istaroth was a way for them to avoid death? It could even tie into the whole immortality thing that Khaenri'ahns have going on.

    You missed a key detail. In Norse Myth, Surtalogi is name of Surtr's Sword and that sword "Surtalogi" was originally named the Twilight Sword as its the sword that would bring Ragnarokkr aka the "Twilight of the Gods". If Dainsleif represents the Twilight Sword aka Surtalogi in Genshin then Khaenri'ah represents Surtr and just like how Surtr was destined to destroy Asgard using Surtalogi, Khaenri'ah was destined to destroy Celestia using Dainsleif. This is why Lumine says that he failed to protect the people of Khaenri'ah because he defiedhis Fate to bring Ragnarokkr to Celestia (Also I would like to mention that both Dainsleif and Skirk use this so called Powers From Beyond which are basically Black Flames and these Black Flames have said to be the only powers that can turn Morax's Spears and Pillars Black.

    I quit Genshin recently but oh my god I completely forgot about Captino and Columbina 😭😭 I might come back to get them but I really really hope they make a new model for characters with more muscle mass like Captino(?) than just using models like Tartaglia or Diluc cause obviously they don’t have the same body type. But if they use diluc’s or tartaglia’s model I am never coming back 💀

    Here me out maybe Hu tao is also connected to Crimson moon dynasty, like her position as the 77th Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, a branch of the Qixing with "ancient lineage", and her interest in collecting artifacts related to the "Crimson Moon dynasty"( talks about it in her story quest), ok imagine this If Hu Tao's predecessors are from the Crimson Moon dynasty managed to escape curse, like they made a "contract with Zhongli for protection", This could also add depth to Hu Tao's backstory ( like how she did not get to meet her grandfathers ghost) and the protection of a god like Zhongli.

Where hu tao's power is pure/stable maybe its passed down in her family lineage or something, and the missing 76th director maybe its her parents and the power went rouge in their case or something, welp we'll find out after another 5 years ig

    Something to note, Fall of Faded Castle seems to be telling the story of Boethius not Remus. It says in Movement of an Ancient Chord that even children were being turned into golems at that time, which is sure to attract some attention. I don't think that the connections that Arlecchino or her ?past life? has to Fontaine are done being explored. We have only reached the tip of the iceberg since creating a realm of consciousness like she can seems to be an extremely divine power.

    • @TheLaughingManLore
      @TheLaughingManLore Місяць тому

      I can see how that'd work yeah, I was thinking that Boethius sorta took control while Remus was still king but sleeping a lot, kinda like Deshret and Irmin being sorta MIA. 100%, so far we've only seen gods be able to do that and Arlecchino's possible ties to a shade could lead into some really good lore reveals. Just hope we don't have to wait like a year for more haha

    This is awesome!! Arlecchino's lore is really cool. I'm hoping for a Part 2 of her story quest, or for her to have a major moment in an Interlude quest. The Crimson Moon dynasty is fascinating, but unfortunately most of the Khaenri'ah we know of concerns the Eclipse dynasty. It's also interesting that Poe's "Masque of the Red Death" is not the only literary work referenced in her talent profile. Nabokov's "Invitation to a Beheading" is also mentioned in her NA talents - and Nabokov's story has a lot of flag-raising parallels to Arlecchino's lore and the endgame.

    Not sure if anyone has mentioned it before but the pre-khaenriah civilization of sal vidagnir on it's fall also mentions some people wishing to live basically as khaenriah ended up living (without gods). The nail that hit in dragonspine seems to be suppressing the "warmth" of the scarlet stones. Durin's corpse was made with alchemy that we know was also in use during the crimson moon dynasty, also has the same stuff that was within the frostbearer tree: the scarlet quartz. (which I think like the ooze in the chasm being transformed abyssal energy) the quartz is possibly transformed crimson moon flame/energy. The fall of sal vidagnir could have been the start of the crimson moon dynasty of khaenriah. It could also have been the reason why sal vidagnir fell in the first place if they were experimenting with crimson moon alchemy.

      If i remember it right, before the fall of Sal Vindagnyr their people are aware of a certain nation able to progress without a god, but Sal Vindagnyr did not practice or attempt the same alchemy. Also the frost bearing tree when the nail struck the mountain turned into ashen white color. Only when Durin's body landed there did it absorb the red stuff and the crimson agates started appearing in the mountain, which happend many many years after the fall of Sal Vindagnyr.

The withered irmunsul branches near nearly all nail locations implies some sort of localized reality corruption.

    So I have 3 harbingers already they all have different elements do you think they will give us a 4th that will be earth based? Do you think it would be him? It would be really nice to have a 4th to round out a team. Lastly would also be nice if since he's a captin HE gets a big buff for each harbingers in the party (like 25% starting from 25% for a total of 100% to double his damage) and help him solo bosses that would be very befitting would it not?
