  2. Thanks for making this video! One small thing: there are pyro Natlan visions. Or at least that hotspring auntie that's Mavuika's Hot Spring Buddy has one on her hip. Looking forward to more vids, lore dives and theories! I think we're probably not going to get pyro powers from the Statue. We might get them from the Sacred Flames or the Wayob.

  7. One thing I noticed, Xbalanque’s story is VERY close to that of Prometheus. They both stole fire from the gods, giving them to humans. What’s more is that Prometheus is punish by getting his liver eaten everyday, giving him a constant cycle of near deaths only to be revived after.

  10. So before the video a few thoughts:
    1. This is the first time i beleive that the abyss and abyssal lectors etc are directly involved in an archon quest (Dainsleif ones feel like a side plot) if u dont count the sumeru hallucination. Maybe they are getting closer to tieing these plots together?
    2. Capitano is likely conspiring with olorun and he is likely to be the night master hero which could be an interesting conflict. Also the captain seems to be on a time limit of is own and could be one the hero twins from the legend of Xbalanque.
    3. The Wayob behaves in a motherly way and is in the night kingdom. The six pygmies is an important book that the abyss were after (remember Lisa) and in that book, there was the night mother. Could they be related? Also six tribes, six pygmies?
    4. Basically no seelies in Natlan yet the one we see is directly in the night kingdom? Columinbina?

  13. has the fatui ever actually forcefully taken someones gnosis before?
    like venti kind of but there are theories that it was staged, and venti didnt want the gnosis anyways
    liyue was contract
    inazuma was also a deal
    sumeru was also a deal, although was kind of coerced but still, traded for info
    fontaine, nuevilette chucked it after getting suggested its bad luck

    also i think its kind of obvious its just humans trading places on the pyro archon divine throne, having half of the dragon sovereignty over pyro being their power
    archons are an identity based on who takes the place on the divine throne, but what race you are can be different
    zhongli is an adepti
    venti is a wind spirit i think? something along those lines
    nahida is so called the purest branch grafted from irmunsul, something along those lines
    focalors was an oceanid familliar originally

    not too sure about ei, not a human presumably due to natlan pyro archons being affected by aging, but could be still due to preserving her mind inside her plane of euthymia with raiden shogun puppet -also the line with "It is said that Makoto was born from the light emitted, while Ei emerged from the shadow cast by the same divine ray" not too sure, but probably thunder/lightning incarnations

    my guess is they also have a pyrovision initially that gets assimilated into the throne or something, representing their ascension

    also isnt the original sin not creating humans but appropriating the power of primordial sea? not sure.

  14. When I got to the scene after Day 1 with Kachina being harassed, I was ahead of my son (for the first time ever) in quests, and I sent him the message, " 'I'm happy to oblige' is my new favorite line in Genshin… and it's because who says it and when." When he got there, he agreed vehemently.

  18. Guys wake up, a lot of archon was originally a Human, we know for sure for EVERY current Archon but Zhongli and Nahida. Venti was a simple bard, Ei was the previous Archon bodyguard. Nahida is the personification of the Sumeru's kid's dreams and fantasies, we all know how Furina was made and… welcome to league of spoilers: archons are all humans, it is just a title, they are no god, just super sayans elected from Celestia with Gnosis to mantain its order and dominion on Teyvat.

  20. Also i forgot my best favorite cutscene too about Mavuika & Capitano are fighting off so good, then were lucky. Also Kinich really states than the actual traitor is him or as Ororon usually assisting him by joining him through the Captain so badly…😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

  24. I think the main reason people from Natlan suffer from symptoms like memory loss if they leave the nation is due to their reliance on the Night Kingdom.
    The way I'd describe the Leylines and Irminsol is essentiall as a big server that hosts all the data within Teyvat. Since peoples memories are stored in and can even be manipulated through Irminsols databank (like how Scaramouche erased himself from history), it means the brains of all people in teyvat are essentially connected to Irminsol wirelessly, with the leylines acting as routers.
    The people of Natlan on the other hand are an exception to this, since the Night Kingdom replaces the function of their Leylines. This is why they go to the Night Kingdom when they die and why they can be resurected. Their data is stored separately and under different conditions.
    If we contine with the pc allegory here, we can imagine the Night kingdom as it's own server (likely even running on a different "operating system" to Irminsol).
    Natlan does still have shallow Leylines, which is why Irminsol has a record on the nations history and why people from the other Nations can enter Natlan without issue. But the Night Kingdom seems to only exist within Natlan (or at least only seems to be capable of extending to broader Teyvat in a very limited capacity) and so people from the nation become unable to access its databank if they go too far away.

    So to summarize: people can't leave natlan cause the nation runs on linux and has shitty wifi.

  31. I have a speculation.

    What if capitano when release is headless?? The twins??? Lol

    And

    Maybe the owner of the talking stick/someone that leave Natlan… as he leave natlan he loses his flame* thus not able to use the elements but doesn't explain why he still alive…😅😂😂

    Just speculation though…

  33. Kind of disappointed to see that one of the biggest Genshin Lore Masters misunderstood the fight between Capitano and Mavuika.
    The fight was a draw, nobody won, nobody lost.
    Capitano wasn't RESCUED, he was FORCED out of there by the 3rd party person. This whole "Capitano got bodied" bs is just sad and shows how low the Genshin community has, once again, gotten, when it comes to story comprehension. Not to mention how bad the translation was for the latter half of Natlan AQ. One of the biggest victims being the whole unnecessary Capitano hate…..
