[4.6] Arlecchino and the Bloodline of the Crimson Moon – A Genshin Impact Theory



Arlecchino is many things – a father, a harbinger and the last descendent of the Crimson Moon Dynasty… which actually makes her an angelic vampire penguin.

I’m serious about the penguin part. The secret to the bloodline of the Crimson Moon and Khaenri’ah is connected to the story of a rather familiar penguin.

  1. *NOTES & CORRECTIONS*

    – Arylus pointed out that the line from A Drunkard's Tale, "what you call wine, we call the abyss" isn't quite so literal. Instead of calling out the abyss directly, it uses 渊源 (yuanyuan) which means Origin vs 深渊 (shenyuan) which is used for the Abyss.

    So this is complicated, and I'm not really qualified to comment on intention of meaning here, but it doesn't really change the meaning too much. Hopefully someone with a deeper understanding of the linguistics here can add some clarity. From my understanding though, the "origin" in this case is like the "nothingness of the void" which I think still fits with our current concept of the abyss, and it would imply that the stuff inside of the abyss is "source material."

    I'll update this note if/when I can get a better/clearer explanation.

  2. I actually think she is in reference to Jack o Lantern.
    Those little things are will o wisp. (Ignis Fatuus) Ignis Purgatorius.
    Stingy Jack struck between world.
    The knave in poker card are know as Jack.
    Guess who wield the scythe?
    Jack the ripper …. reaper (in some depiction) .
    Scythe is use in harvest.
    Arlecchino is also inspire by Vlad the Impaler (Dracula)
    He is known for impale his opponent on the war ground and bath with their blood.
    Arlecchino is try impale us with the spike that come up from the ground.
    Arlecchino wings look like phoenix too.
    Her throne look like those hand of the Archon.
    I dont want Arlecchino to cry.
    Like the prophecy of the mural.
    She who sat on a throne weeping alone.

  4. hmm idk. why do I feel like some things feel.. pretty holey? not to mention Arlecchino, in the end, "drowns" anyway.
    also we still need to find out about the 3rd descender and the totally missing 2nd descender.

  5. HELP I DONT KNOW WHAT IS UP AND DOWN.

    So irminsul is upside-down (like the hindu ashvatta tree) so celestia is downwards and the abyss is upwards

    Seelies are both faeries and angels. Angels live in heaven (up) and faeries live underground (down)

    And the abyss order are also angels and they live in the abyss which is (up)

    And also in norse mythology there was a dragon , nidhogg, that chewed at the roots of ygddrasil and an eagle at the top of the tree.

    Also the connection between dragons and faeries reminded me of maleficent.

  6. I'm not that into lore but I can't help but be reminded of Demian by Herman Hesse when you mentioned two worlds! It probably doesn't mean anything but I find it interesting because Hesse was heavily inspired by Jung and gnosticism and those are things that Hoyo really likes to take from 🙂

  7. Who else can start a video with "angel penguin vampire" and conclude it with a well-formed theory on the Moon Sisters, the Primordial One's human population project, Rhinedottir, seelies, and the dual effects of the curse put on Khaen'riahns?

  8. Can someone clear something up about the Primordial One SPLIT himself into the 4 shades, why are they being referred to as separate beings. Did the Primordial not become the Shades from that point on after splitting?
