With the release of 5.0, we’ve got the brand new region of Natlan to explore, and a whole lot of lore to go along with it. And with new lore comes new terminology and mysteries, so I thought now would be a great time to go over all these newfangled terms and mechanics. Of course, this stuff is still pretty new so there are a lot of gaps in our current knowledge that I have to fill in with a healthy dose of speculation. Hope you’re ready for it!

I have a question about the statues of the seven: why did it not change after mavuika 500 years ago? Why doesn‘t it show Xbalanque? Did Celestia or idk someone else build the statues during, after or because of the cataclysm? What does that mean for the other statues? Did i miss something?
Mark your bingo cards for a Deshret mention!
Ashe I'm here because I wanna be 🙂 33:49
23:04 i guess im not wrong, but the six tribe users in the present that she needs to archieve that plain received the original heros ancient names from the past that helped her, like tupac with mualani, she need their memories and story to archieve her gols, but she didnt want to bring those exactly heroes with her, right?
4 of then already unlocked those memories: Kinich, Iansã, Xilonen and Mualani
I did not have auto play on. 😤
😁
So basically Natlan is going to be the Super Sentai chapter of Genshin.
if people inside natlan with their reflections inside broken leyline system cant go out of natlan then how are people outside come inside natlan without any consquences?
If miss ashikai were to receive a vision most probably would it be
Either DENDRO or GEO for her manifesation for Wisdom and Hard work that she dedicates to her fellas
Teyvat is essentially a holographic universe. It is a world built on information rather than energy or physical matter. Irmansol is the hard drive and the Night Kingdom is the RAM. The Abyss and Forbidden Knowledge operate like computer viruses.
15:47 YES!!! I’ve been saying this that there’s no Pyro tribe cuz it’s already represented by the Pyro Archon!!! But then again, some people want to stick with their personal head canons that a 7th tribe existed and it’s the Children of Murata.
I didn't have auto play on lore lady
21:59 The leylines were most likely destroyed by the Pyro Sovereign"The pitch black flames scorched the land, and even the white tree withered, and the final envoy's glow shattered"
Finally she is back ❤❤❤
Mais uma canetada da doll
15:55 I know we don't have enough information yet but I'm excited to see if the night kingdom and it's mistress have any connection to the Immernachtreich and the night mother, I love fischl lore
32:02 IMO, it's far more likely to be Ronovo.I really doubt bringing back the dragon responsible for the suffering of ancient Natlan people is something Mavuika would do.
Around 27-28 minutes in, you talk about abyss and elemental energy being opposites, and start drawing an analogy to arkhe, but if they worked like that, how come do we have abyss lectors and such? Or corrupted saurians?
thank you, now everything is clearer to me 😀 <33
Also when the characters were purifying the Wayob, all the elemental energy goes towards it while the abyss energy goes towards the golden light Traveler produces.
I swear to god I saw someone say xibalba in game and I thought they were referring to the night kingdom. Either that or someone’s name
That doesn't have anything to do with the video, but what if perinheri is capitano?
Wait, it wasn't obvious that Each of the Tribes ONLY has Members that represent ONE Specific Element? As far as I can tell, Each Tribe will ONLY have Characters from ONE Element that the Tribe Represents, and no, there won't be any Pyro Tribe, because Pyro represents The nation as a whole. We already know that the "People of the Springs" including Mualani are Hydro, The Children of Echos including Kachina and Xilonen are Geo, Scions of the Canopy including Kinich are Dendro. But then there's Iansan from the Collective of plenty who are Electro, Chasca is from the Flower-Feather Clan who are Anemo , and Citlali is from the Masters of the Night Wind who are Cryo… At this point I'm 95% Certain that we will KNOW which tribe a character is from just by looking at the Element of their Vision. And those Elements will reflect their specific Saurians, Also the Characters from those Nations will have Mobility Abilities that reflect their Saurians: People of the Springs will ALWAYS get stuff to travel over water and lava, Children of the Echos will always get something to Climb Walls, Scions of the Canopy will always get some Kind of Grappling Hook effect… No Idea how the other 3 will move around so far, but flight feels likely for the Anemo Tribe.
It should also be noted throughout the exploration of the Lore of Natlan that it's not JUST Mayan and Aztec lore that we have to take as the core source, Each tribe Represents different Nations in the Real World. The Children of the Echos seem to reflect the Pueblo Native Americans from the South West of the United states (Look up their Cliff Dwellings, you'll see it right away), The People of the Springs are Polynesian or more specifically Hawaiian (The dude that gives you Reputation Quests during the day is Called "Kahuna" that's all the proof I need) , the Scions of the Canopy are Inca (The focus of their culture on Ropes and how they Live at the top of a Mountain in reference to Machu Pichu should be Proof enough of that). We don't really know what the other 3 represent yet, But I'm Fairly Certain that the Flower-Feather Clan will be For Native American Nations from Further North, given Chasca's whole Cowgirl look (Her sister also sports a Northern American Modernized Traditional Look)… The Naming Convention for ANCIENT Natlans being Mayan names should be taken to be similar to Names of people in dead Civilizations in other nations, like Enkonomiya is Filled with people with Greek Names, and the Sea of Bygone Eras is filled with Romans, and khaenri'ah is all Norse names. The Main Difference being that Natlan still remembers them and didn't bury those people's History beneath their modern civilization the way the other nations did (Probably due to their ancestor Worship though the Wayob and "Ancient Names")
Can't wait to see the Deeper dives into each of them!
I don't believe in using YouTube Autoplay 😤 I selected an ashikai video myself and imma watch every second of it gotdangit
That was such a great video, you always make it easier to understand such complex concepts in genshin❤️❤️
So if Chasca is the Anemo chosen, only Cryo is missing… Cryo, Capitano's element…
how incredibly boring
you do a great job at making hoyo's already horrible and boring narrative even more boring. congrats. take the dislike.
you must have a great talent. i rarely dislike videos.
I think you missed a little detail when the traveler and the others are interacting with the Wayob, if you look at the particle effects you can tell the vision bearers are projecting elemental energy into the Wayob, but the traveler is pulling Abyssal energy into himself. So if the Traveler is creating an annihilation reaction, it might be worth noting that is doing it by manipulating abyssal energy into his body.
anti matter legion
annihilation gang
if you did kinich story quest . it was that ancient heroes name that first rose during era of first pryo archon. it might contain remnants of xblalanque's power
basically, the six heroes has first ancient name of each of their tribe .
what happen if you collect the six of them ?
31:31 i don't want another archon dying
9:25 this is somehow connect to Benny…. I have no proof of this just trust me bros
I'm not on autoplay, I just hang onto your every word.
Didn't have the autoplay on, just love your theory munching <3
I think it's a pretty generic concept that all the elements (or colors) come together to form the light element (white)t to challenge the power of darkness. That said, where Hoyo really deserves credit is how they carefully thread the needle of various cultures and theologies into a cohesive tale for everyone. A literal fairy tale that reflects reality, and perhaps, a reality than can be changed due to a literal fairy tale…
Ashikai, fyi, I do not have autoplay on. I got to the end of this video because I like how you explain the cultural contexts in ways that I couldn't wrap my head around without your research. Thank you for your service to the fandom.
I couldn't help but noticed the pipe in ZZZ that emited ether looks the same with the towers around the Natlan stadium that emit Sacred Flame. Seems like Ether in ZZZ is just another name for Abyssal power in the ZZZ world.
"Khaenri'ah failed to stop the cataclysm in their nation" is probably the most hilariously propagandistic phrasing I've ever heard.
Thank you for the Video i had shit day and this helped a lot
I subscibe to this lore and theory.
You should be a voice actress, your voice is so unique and expressive!
tlaloc is the /aztec/ equivalent to chaac btw
I think the Night Kingdom may also be referencing Plato's World of Ideas
Okay but is Ajaw THEE pyro dragon sovreign? Or is he just a pixel saurian who likes calling himself as the Almighty Dragon Lord Ku'hul Ajaw
"you must have autoplay on"
me:… I actually clicked on this video from my notifications… 😅
Why did u change the thumbnail?
26:45 is Mavuika really intended as the 7th ancient name? Because considering we'll craft ourselves one that'll be 8 total. And presumably the Traveler should get pyro powers at some point in the archon quest, so it'd make sense if they were supposed to fill in the pyro slot. We also don't know how strong Mavuika is now, after sacrificing her power.
quick note chaac is the name for the mayan rain deity, tlaloc is the aztec version; at 5:24 you said tlaloc was the mayan version
why is natlan so dark souls coded ‘lighting the first flame’ bro I do NOT wanna fight gwyn again 😭😭😭
Question. I saw a theory a while back that the reason the Abyss Twin isn't a descender is because somehow they had a branch of themselves spliced IN to Irmunsoul the same way Rukka and Wanderer spliced themselves OUT, and that may have messed with the twin's memories. Do you think that could be done to the Traveler if Mavuika makes us an ancient name, thereby tieing us (and our memories, since that's the whole point of an ancient name) into the leylines and therefore Irmunsoul?
no i don't have autoplay on i just like listening to ashikai >:(
