The CRIMSON EYE of the Heavenly Principles (Genshin Impact 5.3 Lore, Theory, and Speculation)

by



I just want to talk about Ronova, the shade of death, and the Heavenly Principles. And Crimson eyes. And Natlan and Khaenri’ah and maybe Capitano and the cataclysm. Kaeya is somehow here too (as usual). Also apropos of nothing, long live the Vinster King, Irmin.

  1. Silly note I thought I’d put here: Kaeya’s elemental burst line is “this moment will be frozen in time!” and in Chinese the literal translation is “this moment, will be your eternity!”

    Found it funny considering you mentioned eternity.

  2. Narzissenrkeuz' large hydro tulpa form also has a crimson eye! He was trying to become a descender, so it seems that he might have been imitating the First Descender like Ei was…

  3. I've been going crazy about Tasraque being a banned saurian name for months, I'm happy you brought it up just so more people are aware… even if it ultimately ends up not amounting to much. Another great video as always.

  6. Great video! Its crazy how much potential foreshadowing Genshin does that we just have no clue about until years later when the connecting information is released. All these theories get me even more excited to see what is to come next! And yes my smoke alarms are working!!

  10. People in Fontaine were oceanids and have special blood. Arleccino has some special blood and it's crimson Moon origin, part of Ronova power of death.

    Primordial Sea in Oceanids blood can be convoluted and made into a drug. So does Arlecchino blood can be make into something else. She kills using it by erasing people from Irminsul and makes a new person. She's a creator of live like albedo, crazy alchemist

    This is a proof that Arlecchino has a tiny fraction of the Ronova power of death and ancient Khaenhiah were connected to heavenly principles,

    I have some thoughts about Raiden and her eternity mimic immortality. She was basically heavenly principles puppet.(Opposite in lore)
    Fischl is from beyond teyvat, but not descender.

  11. I haven't played genshin in a while, but between the amphorous story bringing back Flame-chasers, Hi3 part 2's main story having Helia become "corrupted", and the eye imagery coming through strong in all 3 games recently as well as imagery of distorted lands (amphorous black tide for example, or Hi3's sea of data), I think they're doing something with the Herscher of Corruption across all their franchises that have some kind of ties to Hi3. I genuinely don't have enough knowledge to base all this off, but going purely off imagery and how I've understood the story so far, I think that the concept of Corruption will play heavy into the stories of all 3 games. Arlechinno IMO even serves as a good representation of the idea of corruption. Just throwing stuff out there

  14. regarding Khaenriah's divine alignment, it is more like this, cmiiw

    -cluelessly worshipping The Crimson Moon. once them "Heretics" astrologists found out they'd been worshipping a Shade of Heavens, riots might broke out collapsing the Crimson Moon Dynasty
    -atheistic Eclipse took over the reign

  24. Oh, theories, you're asking about? I got some from way back when.

    I had theorized, way back in fontaine, that there's a pattern of Celestia keeping its hands shockingly clean – as in, being unrelated to the enactment of the verdict. The signature of that in the past was cases where multiple causes were given for one effect, but it clicked for me in Fontaine, when we saw it explicitly.

    See, Celestia condemned Fontaine, but it was the Narwhal that would cause its flooding. And the Narhwal was under Surtalogi's control. Of all the people that could be agents for Celestia, Surtalogi is… low on that list. So, Celestia decides a condemnation, but it happens through an angle they couldn't be related to.

    And this clicked with past events. Orobachi explicitly, and Kaenriah implicitly. We knew for a fact Orobachi was condemned to be executed for reading Before Sun and Moon, and for escaping the archon wars (which gave him the chance to). But he wasn't slain by Celestia, nor by a Raiden ordered by Celestia to take him down. He was slain by a Raiden pushing him back from territory he threatened. Again, two causes, one effect.

    And, we were still at that stage where Kaenriah's destruction was blurry. Some sources cited condemnation by Celestia due to how it operated and what it reached for, others cited Reihndottir's creations spilling out and threatening the surrounding nations, which prompted Archon response. Same deal.

    And now, we see it in action and in full. 'A rule, not a price', and so using Ronova's death necessitates someone will die. Not because of using the power, exactly. The sacrifice wasn't 'causally' linked to it. The lord of the night would have needed it, Ronova or not. And not dying, in any way, would lead to inevitable, widespread death. Not Celestia burning stuff in revenge, but as implied, things just… happening. Perhaps even as a direct result of the Night Kingdom's collapse, which explains what makes 'the archon' a high-valued sacrifice and capitano 'a suitable alternative' – pure lifeforce fuel value.

    So, past, present and future, all at once. When Celestia decrees a punishment, things will always just happen to align, perhaps even from before the decree, to make the punishment happen, on its own. Not even 'indiretly' by celestia's hand, but outright, with no relation to it.

    That's how fate's puppeteering works. I won't be surprised to learn the Nails fell because some dragon damaged the firmament just-so, for example.

    And if descenders can stir fate, which we've seen them able to, and if 'the life of a descender is more valuable than you can imagine', then my crackpot theory of descenders as hotfixes by teyvat's creator, deployed ahead, being exactly the next piece needed for its engine and course-correcting inevitably-charted fate, kinda gains legs.

  26. Something interesting as well, the winter night's Lazzo trailer Basically goes over a brief Look into the fatui Harbingers goals.
    Pierro: the Gnosis
    Capitano, the plan
    Dottore, his experiments
    Pantalone, his money
    Arlecchino, her children
    Tartaglia, his fighting
    Sandrone, her introvert
    And so on
    Columbina references How young Dottore looks, the prime of his life, and "mourning" Signora's death. Three of the four Shades also have to do with the lifespan of people, life, time, and death. So I wonder if her story will explore the three…

  28. Kinda on a tangent, but the whole theme of names and roles in Natlan in particular has made me think on more than one occasion if Amy might accidentally take on the role of actual Fischl at some point.
