  1. Any corrections or additional info will be added to this comment!

    • Aether was also believed to be what waves of light shined through (if I'm reading it properly).

  3. I wonder if the sun symbolism and the tsariza gem hint on the fact that in the end the traveler will either purify the world… Or destroy it completely. (Or at least change it in a drastic way)

  4. Part of me that kind of feels that Aether and Lumine aren’t from Teyvat directly, is the fact that neither of the two have ever remembered Teyvat in the past, and neither of the twins are a part of Teyvat until the Abyss Crystal thing tied Lumine to Irminsul. It may be that both Aether, Lumine, and the Primordial One have similar origins, especially given how connected Phanes and Aether are in real world mythology.

    I would love to see a video talking about Aether and Lumine’s possible origins lore-wise, especially given their lore in the Sword of Descension description, which also convinces me that they aren’t natives of Teyvat

  5. Straight up, the twins are my favorite characters in the game. I hope that by the end, Mihoyo spoils the fuck out them both and gives them everything they've been missing since the start of the game. Shit i hope they make them the first 6 stars or some crazy shit lmao

  6. Here is fun facts for you. Lumine's name also deprives from an old Alchemic prayer and book, Lumen de lumine. Which is latin and means "Light from light" in English. The themes with Aether can apply to Lumine too. I don't need to mention of the orphic hymns ect you nailed that beautifully!! But I can mention these:

    -I mentioned already but they do have themes of gnostic Aeon Jesus(whichever twin you pick), whom was sent by the Monad(original god) to stop the fake god(deimurge) and save humanity by teaching to ascend and achieve gnosis. In Christianity Jesus is often refered to as the "Brightest Morning Star" as well. Such stars include Polaris, Venus, and Sirius for example(all these are morning stars if I recall).
    -Then there is the themes of Fenrir whom, a child of Loki is bound out of fear by the gods. However come Ragnorak Fenrir breaks his chains and swallows Odin.
    -Then there's the King Arthur and Mordred themes. Arthur was said to be the rightful king and would return when world needed him most, wielding a holy sword as proof of his heritage. Unfortunately he clashes with Mordred, killing Mordred and in some tales Arthur is laid in Avalon to slumber until as mentioned one day he returns.

    -Seraphim were the highest and strongest order of angels out of the 9 Choirs of the 3 Triads of Angels, they stayed closest to god and many were his messengers and warriors. They had 6 wings(3 on each side of the back but bibically accruate ones are freaky as fudge).

    Hopefully these are all interesting details from this mythology weeb were interesting to you too. 🥰😇

  7. I wish MiHoYo makes a few moments in the future main quests where Paimon and Traveler just talk about each other, while maybe not revealing too many details for mystery aspect, after all they have traveled 5 regions already and they still don’t really know about each other’s past
