Interesting theory… I definitely look forward for the archon quests though!
i sometimes wonder how much wisdom the people of sumeru really have if they put this much pressure on a child. sure kusanali is hundreds of years old but her mind still works in ways of that of a child, since her vessel is literally the body of a child. she just wants to protect whats left of sumeru (if there even is anything left at all)
Good theory btw😁
I'm in pure shock 😭 you have such good points on everything especially the rainforest mirage part
Your theory brought a lot of questions, so I decided to watch the trailer again, specifically the fading part. From what I deduced, Sumeru's buildings may be a ilussion, but not all is fake. On my opinion, I don't think is a Mirage, but rather is a memory / energy that is returning back to the Ley Lines, the place where is belong to. And is possible that Abyss Electro Lector is messing up with that energy, because he mocking ask "Or you are just in denial?". Meaning that there's something those Sages have been hiding from the public.
On my opinion, the Divine Capsule is a scam, it doesn't posses knowledge but rather Archon residue or corrosion. And it have been created by Fatui, similar how they have been creating Delusions at Inazuma — the people of Sumeru doesn't seem really care if you have a Vision or not. And that Capsulle is what caused that Eremite and Machine to lost control of their bodies and suffered a type of corruption.

The God of the Woods is also the God of Wisdom. Kusanali is the God of Wisdom, as well as the God of Flowers. It's like Venti who's the God of Freedom and the God of Anemo/Wind at the same time.
Does the withered plant (from the chasm) related to sumeru? Sumeru and chasm is near so it will make sense that this withered plant has something to do with the withered land. (The plant is found in a cave with a huge tree and several totems)
omg that’s such an interesting theory!!! can’t wait to see what the sumeru quest has in store
Now I just hope your theories are right. I can't imagine a better plotline!
I feel regret lol. This is more like spoilers rather than theory. Just too reasonable
Wow! this video was really good, you deserve more views
Ok I neeeeed everyone’s opinion on my thoughts cause I don’t really have them organized yet lol. This all stems from the portion of the video with the voice that says “the world… forget me..”. I personally think this is the original god of the woods (I’m gonna be calling her Ruk to make it easier for me lmao) I don’t really feel like it has that childish softness that we heard in kusinalis and even Klees voice. It just feels and sounds more adult to me. My little mini theory is that ruk isn’t actually dead or if she is then it wasn’t the cataclysm that directly caused it. I think she’s trying to say something along the lines of “the world won’t forget me” this makes me wonder if it was the sages who are potentially behind her disappearance. If they found a way to keep her subdued they might be using her powers to keep the upkeep of sumeru and have kusinali as a vessel for their controlling. I wonder if maybe the rot(I can’t remember what it’s called omg) is being caused by ruk in her weakened state almost as a cry for help. Though I think kusinali is really an archon ruk may have only lost her position to kusinali through her containment and drainage of powers. I believe kusinali is good and has good intentions and that she really is more of a puppet to the sages. (Maybe a tie in with scaramouche also being a puppet and not feeling in control?) I’m not sure if any of that made sense and please comment with more ideas or corrections!
Edit already: I forget to mention how I think the desert people are seen as bad when in reality they are just trying to see the sages fall and the return of their god of the woods. They seem to know that something is off about the whole situation and it reminds me of how the fatui are framed to us as enemies when their true intentions may be to save us all.
It does make sense, but I won't hold my breath too long. We'll just have to wait for next week, when version 3.0 finally comes out, to learn more. I did hear a rumor somewhere of how the harbingers will play into all this, but I won't hold my breath on that either. I'm just excited to explore this new country and story!!!!
here before famous
this is AMAZING! in all honesty i really hope this theory is actually true or at least super similar with the whole mirage thing and the desert actually being sumeru and the rainforest is from Kusanali.
I knew that that Nahida's story would be sad 😭Can't wait to have her on my team and never getting rid of her 💚
Sumeru more like Westview in Wandavision
I was already wondering what would happen if presumably Kusanali’s wish of “The World Forget Me” would come true.
This definitely gives some good ideas about what the consequences would be.
It also raises some questions about what would happen if in other parts of Teyvat the majority were against their archon.
Would mondstat be a snow covered tomb for its people?
Would the bindings of dead gods in Liyue fade?
Would Inazuma be a land of endless storms?

Nahida: I'm an archon!!
Sumeru citizens: Awwww baby, you don't look like one…
Seed of sumeru ?
I am from Iran and here is some info:
Sabzerooz(day of grass) is probably based on norooz, it's the persian new years holiday and it happens in spring , thus the connection between plants and spring
My guess is that Kusanali is not a shade or 'rebirth' of Rukkhadevata, but rather that she has inherited all of Rukkhadevata's knowledge via the Irminsul tree that their consciences are connected to. As for why Kusanali has created the mirage, I'm not sure, since my theory would mean she wouldn't think like a child. But I do believe (from a gameplay, business and purely practical perspective) that at the end of the Archon quest, Kusanali will use her power (or likely, the Gnosis) to turn the illusion into reality. I can't imagine Hoyoverse would just completely discard all those environments and assets bc they were 'only a mirage'.
Hoyoverse is sus…The tree in the thumbnail looks like the imaginary tree….
its not tignari….its tahynari…..am i ryt?
I think Kusanali is a version of Lord Rukkhadevata in the same way Guoba is a version of the Stove God
Damn girl, I think you might be right
I have a theory that probably isn't true but nevertheless, I think Sumeru city is indeed a mirage but not the entire rainforest.
It is a city built around a huge tree. In the trailer we see as Nilou dancing everything starts to fade away and in the next shot, we see Traveler standing before the Irminsul tree. I think under the mirage of the city, lives Irminsul tree connected to Rukkhadevatas consciousness the same consciousness powering the Akademiyas resources (Akasha terminal). And the bad guys trying the expose it and burn it to the ground as Dottore did in the Fatui trailer. (He said he's committing "blasphemy" which means "insulting a religion" which further proves my point)
Man, Kusanali wanting to disappear with the mirage according to your theory really does hit home. She's like a lot of students nowadays; cared for by their parents (the worshippers of her/the citizens of Sumeru on her birthday) and yet putting immense pressure on them because of their shortcomings (being a product of Rukkhadevata's death) which causes them to become stressed and have low self esteem, resulting in feeling like they're not good enough, a burden, and wanting to disappear. Not only that, but with how Sumeru's ideal is wisdom, it only fits the reality of multiple students in the education system to this day.
damn they put the baby in the trauma blender
People have also theorized that the previous dendro archon which I won’t even bother to spell their name was the one who made the rain forest mirage or something like that cause shes the dendro god and didn’t want people to live in the dessert I guess? And now that she’s dead the mirage is slowly fading away because now the mirage is in Kusanali hands and as you said Kusanali probably sees herself as a disappointment and the stress she’s getting is fading the rain forest into wither
I’m not completely sure but this is what I just found 🤷♀️
