The Rainbow Destined to Burn is definitely one of the best, if not the best, Archon Quests in Genshin Impact so far. As expected, Version 5.1 brought with it an outstanding amount of Lore and Story revelations for the players.
We got insight on False Sky, Ronova & Xbalanque, the Heart of the Abyss, the origins of Ley Lines, and even a confirmation that Seelies are Teyvat’s Angels!
That’s a lot, so I decided to compile most of the important details into a single video to simplify the explanation process and reference it in the future when needed.
Thanks for watching 🙂!

Will you make a predictions video in anticipation of 5.3 and what we'll find in the Abyss, and exactly who or what we'll be fighting with Mauvika?
Natlan has been pretty damn awesome so far but one thing that annoyed me is that the traveler had capitano a person of rank from Khaenri'ahn right in front of them and didn't ask him a single damn question about their sibling or what happened there.
Erm amazing theory!! but may I add that it’s Firmament with an M and not ‘Fernament’ ☝️🤓
The vid ended. Still waiting to see who tge abyss waifu is. Is it the one from GGZ?
Wouldn’t call the wayobs angels tho? They’re more of a creation that came from one
The source mechanism was explicitly stated to have been created by the angels not the dragons. Which would explainn why it looks like Deshrets device since he got knowledge frooom the Seelies.
The lore of the AQs so far has been interesting but the writing of those quests have been really subpar.
touching on that last revelation, its reminding me of other times red and gold have shown up in the plot… obviously the traveler, when they arrived in teyvat, had gold energy and wings, theres the alchemist rhinedottir who is nicknamed gold (whose creatures like elynas and durin notably seem to have hearts and blood of crimson red that twist and corrupt things around them, which if red is associated with rubedo and the absolute celestial power, i wonder if that might be why they do that? maybe they are rubedo, but improperly made? maybe rhinedottir's goal is to artificially recreate rubedo (and thus secure power equal to or above a descender), and has failed again and again, so she turned instead to chalk and gold?)
i think there might be some kind of connection between gold being power, but false power in a way – something strong but still below the peak of rubedo
i wonder if that might be associated with paimon in a way? her clothing contains accents of rose gold – something that could technically be said to be between gold and red
it might be lore filled but it bored tf outta me (normally i enjoy lore parts but natlan was very boring in act 1st and 2nd) but the 3rd and 4th completely made up for it. And honestly you see they have been stepping up the game since sumeru and the archon quest did not disappoint nice but for me fontaine is slightly better because i had fun troughout most of the archon quest. But dont get me wrong, the war act was absolutely the best archon quest (alone) in genshin.
Would that mean that dain is stronger the captain😮
Hm. But Wayob themselves are not Seelies, they are the collective consciousness of dead people. It's only the main player that is the seelie.
Also I think the the girl who Controlls the white abyss might be lumine in this context since the first time we meet lumine she already can use both abyssal energy and omni element..
Always love it when the craziest crackpot theory turns out to be the closest if not accurate prediction 😂
Ah! I have like surface level knowledge of genshin, but with every major update. I become more and more interested in the lore of this world. I need to do some research.
7:36 really, my guy? Just look at Zhongli's coat from the back LOL WHY NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT THIS. The 'inscriptions down the middle' are EVEN MORE similar in his coat than in the desert mechanisms. But ofc, this doesn't fit the rest of the theory. Still, I think it's sus.
1:55 Wayob's aren't Seelies. If they were Seelies then the first Wayob would have been "created" (more like starting a new job than being created) at the beginning of the Night Kingdom towards the end or just after the end of the Apocalypse war / war of Vengenace / war against the 2nd throne. Instead we are told that the first Wayob is not formed until Chaac and his heroes died. This suggest that the Wayob are some sort of result of the dead souls of Natlan people being gathered together after they dissipate. They're made of dead natlan people's memories and souls somehow? But for sure not Seelies.
As for the primordial Khaenri'ahns there are better arguments to support the position that they were the descendants of a mix of humans and Seelies from ancient times. Just the fact that their royal blood is such a big deal shows there was something messed up about their ancestor's biology so it's just a question of what weird thing they interbred with and Seelies are creatures we get myths about interbreeding with humans, and now that they've been called Angels we can note that biblically angels did interbreed with humans and the descendants were very strong "heroes" which god was angry about. Not exactly a million miles from the Genshin story.
since this lore follows gnosticism that took some things from Christianity and perverted it I got idea that if Khaenri'ahns are descendent from seelies aka angels (aka fallen angels cause they have been exiled) this would mean that Khaenri'ahns are Nephilim, which died in great flood, but since they were made in ritual that used fallen angels and humans (fallen angel possessing man) and they did horrific things and did not repent , their spirits were cursed to roam the earth forever as demons (btw 90% are imprisoned-aka without any power to harm humans), what would that mean for game idk except that they don't want good for the rest of ppl
if I had a dollar for every time a video game made yog-sothoth a little girl, I would have 2 (GGZ & FGO), which isn't much, but it's still funny it happened twice! Any other sponsors?
Very nice break down. I believe i found the thread that connects paimon to the moon, and which one she is. Working on it now, actually.
But yes, thx for sharing your thoughts and research👌
Please make a video about gosoythoth and white abyss regardless if she is in genshin or not
8:04 isnt moshiri ceremonial site on Tsurumi island same thing?
yep the moon resembles in HSR. wait did all moon looks identical?
Hello. Is capitano xabalanque?
Idk if it was this video, but you mention in one how Mika’s account is wrong because of blue eyes. I’ve been seeing around on social media (and idk how right it is) that the blue stuff on Dain is the rot that has consumed all of Capitano, so could that be what he thought were blue eyes? Great videos btw, I watch every Genshin release!
My Name for Now, did any reveals in this patch actually come as a surprise to you?
I first thought that Ronova was confirmed as the unknown goddess at the beginning, but now I'm a little confused, she's not, is she?
10:30 . Wait then does that mean that the power of the abyss is ultraviolet and the power of heavenly principle is infrared
Like how uv causes cancer and forbidden knowledge caused elazor and infrared can cause burns like the burns on heavenly principle
the broken moon beyond the fake sky reminded me of the HSR x fate collab picture
Omg, the current ashikai video, alongside with the past one, this video and like the 3rd after this, mix up so well, i feel my brain is just too overwhelmed, but it makes so much sense when you combine these!!!!!!🤯
The question I have that no one else seems to be asking is… What did Capitano mean by "already??!?!?!?!?"
"You met Dainslief already?"
ALREADY???!?!?!?! What are they planning????
Seelies are devolved form of angels*
You know, I wonder if the fragments in the sky weren't of a destroyed moon, but of the primordial one's "eggshell," after all I think I remember it being said somewhere that the firmament was made from Phanes's egg.
Didnt we see a pice of that in a ditch a kid was looking into
let the man cook
I want to watch this so bad but haven’t finished the archon quest yet 😭😭
Stellarons~
RAAAHHH WHENS THE NEW VID COMING OUT RAAHHH
Phlogiston and Light is a cool mechanic
