Genshin Impactβs lore is crazy complicated, whether youβre new to the game or a long time player. This quick introduction puts the disjointed information weβve learned in the first year into one timeline, explaining the points that are most important to the plot.
00:00 The World
00:29 Ancient History
02:25 The Cataclysm
05:15 Present Day
I have other scripts in the works diving into the most important complicated bits, but honestly, theyβre a huge undertaking, so Iβve put together a few collections of the works I pay most attention to, annotated with my notes.

I only recently started digging into the lore of the game. Itβs so much shit going on and K canβt connect the dots. These videos helped me a lot and so please keep on making videos like these. You definitely helped a lot of people!
very cool

reminder: vision holders are not demi gods but they channel energy from the gods and archons do not hold archon thrones atm, celestia and the archons are separate parties. It is unknown if archons are on a celestial throne.
LMAOL, I was delighted with your delivery and enjoyed this complex story in this mess of a world. Thank you.
After all the quests Iβve done, I realized that the archons are very suspicious. Like, Venti could have easily killed signora but didnβt . And zhongli just handed over his gnosis. But Baal just killed Signora like how I excepted venti or zhongli to. I wonder why Baal could kill her but not venti and zhongli. Iβm a bit stupid so I hope that one day there will be a video to explain it all
thank you so much i was very confused what was going on. i think i understand it a bit more but am still confused by who celestia is
i dont know about everyone else but i kinda wanna know the lore cause I LOVE A charter SO MUCH (thx for making this vid now i get the story better)
underrated video, thank you for putting this together!
What does it say about me that I was immediately down with this presenter the moment they said the f woid in the opening bit?
I watched this bevause my friend plays the game, i barely do and decided to educate myself on some lore
thats a really cool vid but dude your bgm is SO LOUD
and now with the introduction of Enkonomiya we were told about Phanes a primordial being and his four Shining Shades that helped humanity way before Celestia came,they were talked about in the book Before Sun and Moon that Orobaxi read and was sentenced to death by Celestia
first were the vishap dragonheirs, then came Phanes with his shades and humans. The Seelie predated humanity, which means the Seelie had their civilization begin during the reign of the dragonheirs. Then came the "second throne", unsure if this second throne is celestia or the three moon sisters, since the three moon sisters either overthrew Phanes or they were 3 of the 5 shades. Regardless Phanes is overthrown, and the three moon sisters end up dying anyway, and celestia comes into power, with the celestia islands presumably made from the corpse of one of the moon sisters. During this time all the shades have left, with the exclusion of Kairos, who stays around until sometime before the archon war but after the fall of old mondstadt. Celestia orchestrates the archon war, destroys many of the civilizations that have been around since the time of Phanes (Tsurumi, Sal Vindagnyr) and the Dragonheirs (Byakakoku), sometime after the sinking of Byakakoku and before the Archon War, Khaenri'ah comes into existence. 500 Years ago, Khaenri'ah falls. It is uncertain when the travellers come to Teyvat, but it is known that the abyss sibling wakes up around the fall of Khaenri'ah.
Bro genshin lore is worse and more complicated than fnaf lore π
still canβt believe seelies weβre smart but they be going to inazuma to find their statue things in liyue-
You mean weβve been killing former human all along?
I have been watching quite a few videos about Genshin Lore. It seems literally impossible though to find a video that can explain the story to somebody that has never touched the game.
Even though this explanation here is really good I feel that most outsiders wouldn't still get what's going on.
THANK YOU! Itβs been so hard for me to find anything talking about genshinβs lore that doesnβt start from the beginning π Iβm a lore fanatic but everything Iβve seen up until this video had been complete nonsense to me, so thank you!
There is a world tree for each element. The world tree of Dragonspine is the element of the stars.
Dain hinted us that the traveler had the power of the stars. There are 7 gnosis, each representing a chess piece but the 8th, the king is missing. The element of the stars. Scaramouche also hinted that there is something with the stars.
Pawns have the power to become any chess peace except the king. So the king has to come from another chess set? And the travelers hinted that the siblings have been traveling the worlds. Each world is a chess table. Each chess table has its own king. I'm guessing Teyvat misses a king, so one of the travelers has to become the king.
Where can I find genshin lore but without the wiki. Unless thereβs only the wiki then I guess Iβll settle with it
I think the story will be completely told once 100% of map can be accessible among all players⦠in a couple more years.
It is currently version 2.6 since the time of my comment.
I still donΒ΄t get why the traveler was asleep in the first place tho.
This helped thank you I was a little confused but now I get it also dain at the end wrong time to pause
Tysm u made my mum scared of me π
Anyone here because they skipped too much dialogue and have no idea whatβs going on
I'm now even more confused
great vid!! thanks!!! canβt aIt for part two ππ
i generally like to put it into 5 eras-
1st era- the ruling of the 7dragons/wishaps (mentioned in enkonomiya) before the primordial one came and defeated(? yrs ago)
2nd era-primordial one rules over celestia peacfully with the moon sisters the sellies and 'blessed' the dragonspines civilisation (sal vindygr records)(4000-? yrs ago)
3rd era- primordial one dissapears, fall of the moon sisters, sellies get turned, sal vindygr gets the pole dropped on them by celestia(sal vindigyr records) and then archon war starts (theory)(2000-4000 yrs ago)
4th era-khaneriah and enkonomiya develop and learn of the 1st era thigys and are very angry, enkonomiya gets oblidarated by celestia, khaenri'ah fids out abt that and celestia find out abt them then someone(either the gods or khanerians) start a war against the other while that force defends (harshly) but in the end celestia oblidarates khaenri'ah and curses its people leaveing maybe only the higher ranking cursed to immortality(theory). Golds creation durin loses against dvalin, albedos creation(?), a familiy inside khaneri'ah escapes (theory on kaeyas family) (1500-500yrs ago)
5th era- aka the current era, princess of the abbys, geo archon 'dies' , tsaritsa collecting the gnosis and developing the fatui, venti reshaping mondstats grounds, dvalin out of control, the new electro archon, officiall new dendro archon, world tree, 12 descendats of the primordial one (less then 500 to current yrs ago)
anyways the ages are just theories, i forgot if they were dragons, lisards or vishaps(1st era) idk if im mispelling sal vindygr but im reffering to the acient civillasation of dragonspine
What's honkai impact what's the difference between this and honkai?
Planning to write an Elden Ring or Dark Souls crossover fanfiction with Genshin, so this video gave me some useful context.
No joke, im starting to think Genshin Impact is starting to dominate Dark Souls/ Elden Ring in convoluted lore. π
