EXPOSING Welkin Moon's BIGGEST SECRETS | Genshin Impact Theory

by



In this Genshin Impact Theory video, I will discuss the biggest secrets hidden behind the Welkin Moon attempt to expose the truth behind the story of Genshin Impact. While we can assume that the Welkin Moon has nothing to do with the story and is a simple mechanic for rewards within the game of Genshin Impact, the Welkin Moon Lady is hiding the biggest secret. A puzzle piece that will explain everything about the lore inside the game. She is quite literally connected to everyone and everything.

Unironically, weโ€™ve already seen her inside the game. This video will include stories up to Genshin Impact patch Version 3.5. Everything to do with the ancient civilization, Seelies and the 3 Moon Sisters, the Abyss Order, the Traveler siblings, the memories of the Irminsul, and even spanning from Nahida to Venti. This video is part two of my long going series of the structure of the world in Genshin Impact.

  1. Hello everyone! Thank you all for waiting so patiently!!!

    I hope you enjoy the video, and here are some additional notes and context for the video:

    You might be confused with the implications behind the Starsโ€™ Blessing. It actually makes sense to Layla, because her backstory with sleepwalking and her state of mind and consciousness within dreams. Not to mention, her idle and attack animations are essentially Stars that are accompanied by a Moon.

    As for the topic of Elves, I am speculating that Alice is a purebred Elf like Nahida. I could be wrong. But I am suspecting that any characters with Elven ears with white hair and pale complexions are purebreds. It is also interesting to consider that Alice has deep connections with the Adventurerโ€™s Guild and their Moto is โ€œAd Astra Abyssosqueโ€ which means Journey to the Stars and Abyss, giving another connection to how Laylaโ€™s โ€œStarsโ€™ Blessingโ€ might be connected with the Moons, particularly with the Abyss.

    As for characters like Layla and Klee, I am assuming that they are half Elves. Also, I am aware that Iansan of Natlan does not have pale complexions as I am assuming. She probably just got a tan xd.

    Of course, I just want to make sure to sayโ€ฆ

    Rememberโ€ฆ This is just a Theoryโ€ฆ

  4. The thing that first drew me towards you as a Content Creator were your well thought-out lore videos. When I discovered your first lore videos, I was so hooked, had to share them with all my friends, because of how well researched and laid out they were. Then I started watching you more and more, even tuned into your streams and got a little sad that at some point, your theory videos had gotten less and less. I am so glad to finally have a new theory video! Theory Thursdays are fun, but your dedication to the lore and uncovering the truth really shines through the best in this format. I am aware that video editing is a tough job, especially with how much effort you put into yours, but I hope that maybe, possibly? we can see more videos from you again!

    With the upcoming Dainsleif quest in 3.5, I am sure that we will get another lore bomb dropped on our heads and I hope that it will give you enough fuel to make another video!
    Love you lots, Island! Great video, great theory and see you in the next livestream (that I can catch, bc european timezones are suffering)!

  9. Bruh i was trying to find this out like last week, because i logged on and randomly thought why does the welkin moon girl look similar to the omnipresent god statue and just came to the conclusion that they are the same or all the moon sisters look the similar.

  10. Look, you made an excellent job for making such detailed and elaborated theory, especially connecting each one together seemingly like this.

    But this made my sorry ass sadder, since whenever I think of moon in Hoyoverse, is Always back to Kiana.

    All of the shades somewhat represent our Tuna till the most obscure bits doesn't help my depression ๐Ÿ’€

  12. Whenever I see Paimon and the three moon sisters, all I see is Kevin and the main Honkai trio from the latest story arc. All it took was them giving Kevin the same black diamond hair ornament as Paimon.

  14. Great theory as always!
    The thing I find odd abt all of this is that the moon in the skies of Teyvat is always a full moon while the moon in the login screen can be seen in cresent, so I don't really think they are the same, and there's also the thing abt the fake sky….

  17. On point! As always! I cannot shake off the fact that Nahida, in her character story quest, sees only ONE shooting star, not 2. Also i don't think the moon in the loading screen is one of the 3 sisters. All mons in game are full, while the one in the loading screen is a crescent moon, while the icon of the Welin is a waxing moon. Like the location of the loading screen does not belong to Teyvat therefore is not ruled by its laws, planets included. Side note: there's another entity that is not affected by changes in Irminsul…. Zhongli.

  18. Island you forgot to mention that all three moon positions are Down,Middle,Above(celestial/beyond physical world) maybe just maybe i think that Paimon was close to all three of them

    If we look at aranara quest Paimon was Portrayed as Silver floaty and there was a chariot that used to drag all the moon's around(looks like i forgot some lines) and the other thing is If you look at the Mondstad Church in map it has similar shape as Login Gate

  19. One and only complaint: music is too loud and your vocals are literally yelling to get over top of the music. Balance it out a little more, lower the music and quit having to shout. When I have to turn down my headphones because the music is so loud, I can't understand your speech because it muddles into the background music.

  20. It may sound crazy, but what if… the flower-Paimon(moon goddess, goddess of life), feather-Barbatos (god of death?), clock-Istaroth (moon goddess, goddess of time), cup-Asmoday (moon goddess, goddess of emptiness), crown-Primordial One. It makes sense, as Paimon is precisely connected with Celestia, the statue in Inazuma (defined by Istaroth ) is similar to Welkin moon, feathers are a direct symbol of Venti + his connection with moons/time/Istaroth

    Seelies came from Celestia, they were messengers of heaven and helped people, but they were not shades. It was a separate developed race. As for Venti, there is also a fact that after the death, Venti directs souls with wind. + Everyone knows the joke that each character with anemo vision has a dead friend? Remembering that obtaining a vision is based on the character or life position (which corresponds to the archon). Does that mean that every owner of anemo vision goes through death? Just like Venti being the God of Death. And Venti also gave blessings many times, but I want to remember one very important thing. It is thanks to the blessing of Anemo Archon that all gliders can fly. The scientist from Sumeru studied this and realised that it did not lend itself to the laws of physics. We have never seen such a "global" blessing from other archons. But this just crazy thoughtsโ€ฆ

  22. Another Venti connection that was not mentioned in the video; it was the civilization of seelies whose destruction started the fight between the moon sisters, and venti was a seelie before becoming an archon.

  27. I will say, though as per usual this is a very interesting take as usual, I am still very attached to the theory that Paimon is the god of time, and this kind of clashes with the idea?
    Great work as usual, and food for thought!

  32. So in an Ashikai theory from awhile ago (Time in Teyvat Explained), I left this comment: "So going off of some ideas you threw around in here, if Teyvat is a domain, and what you said in a previous video about Hoyoverse making every gameplay mechanic have some sort of canon to the world, then in that case, the door we enter into every time we log into the game is, in fact, a domain door. Furthermore, we can tie this into co-op, as going to visit another player is seen as "going to another world", and if domains can exist connected like bubbles, and time doesn't matter, then the existence of co-op might be proof of Teyvat as a domain, and explain our individual Travelers being forced to follow the "rules" of each player's world. By "rules", I mean the inability to visit places you might have gone to, but another player hasn't because they haven't played enough, or being able to visit places you haven't been to yet if you go to someone's world who's farther in the game than you. Thus, time does not matter.

    Back onto the login door though, this brings up the question. Does this mean that the door, and all the stuff surrounding it like the pillars and the path leading to the door, exist outside Teyvat entirely?"

    Now, during The Morn a Thousand Roses Brings, there's a point when the Traveler goes out and realizes there's a bunch of different spaces that turn out to be the dreams of the people of Sumeru. What if those dreams are also, themselves, domains? If we take this idea and blow the scale of it up massively, we can take this as "Teyvat is the creation of a dream." If we have a bunch of different instances of similar dreams going on, via all the many players of Genshin Impact slowly playing through their accounts, would that not be the same or similar to the idea of the cyclical nature of history in the world of Teyvat? To expand on this more, all the playable characters are just dream versions summoned from other dream domains, and this can even connect it into the trial system for testing out the characters on banners.

    Now, as for Venti, I propose that Venti is unique, in that all versions of Venti across all the different domains, actually share the same mind and memories. This would explain how Venti remembers us, but the Traveler doesn't remember him. I'm also certain this idea can explain how we, the Travelers, are descenders, but not our sibling. By having Irminsul act as a giant Akasha terminal, its harvesting this one big dream across the entirety of each version of Teyvat. Our dream, as the Traveler. Why is our sibling in the Irminsul but not us? Well, we are in the Irminsul, but like the Akasha system, its just decided we have no right to access that information, so it just acts like we aren't in it at all.

    I'm sure there's holes here I missed or things I'm not thinking about, but I really think there's something here to build on. Hell, there might be something here that connects this whole thing back to Honkai, such as all these dreams actually being simulated realities or something, which can be speculated by the large number of computer-like things we can derive from all we've seen, like Irminsul being a giant hard drive/server, or Nahida's combat animations.

  33. None of the moon sister has been shown yet i think. In the first chapter of Genshin manga Venti remembered 3 girl silhouettes and it's most likely that they are the three moon sisters, and the three don't look like any character we know.

  40. At first I thought the Unknown God was the shade of space, because of how her powers looked. But now I think that she is the shade of death, because she seems to be some kind of executioner. She is the only one who comes to stop/kill us. And she's heavily implied to be the one who destroyed Khaenri'ah. That's all I have XD.
