The Desert of Hadramaveth is shrouded in past mysteries. It is here where we encounter a floating glass bottle named Liloupar who turns out to be a Jinni. She has an extremely interesting past which is explored through various quests in this area and through the fragments of Lioupar that we collect. In this video, I present this beautiful story, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did 😀

Oh man, thanks for getting that lore in order. I found a lot of stuff out of sequence and struggled to get it into the right order, plus the sheer amount of information was a bit hard to digest. So having this video lay it all out comprehensively is awesome!
It's also an interesting story of lapses in judgment. Liloupar saw humans as greedy and corrupt beings, and yet chose love over her beliefs. She wanted that kind of happiness in spite of what she thought of humans, thinking that she had found the exception to the rule. She still warned Ormazd to not betray their pact, so she herself wasn't convinced of their love overcoming mortal desires. And as it turned out, it really didn't. Her curse was premeditated, and as she herself put it, her revenge would be to inflict the same pain threefold. So, as he betrayed her love, Liloupar would curse the three next in his generation to betray his love all the same.
It may seem overtly cruel to pull innocents into this love feud, but for starters, Liloupar doesn't share mortal values. To her, using her children to exact her revenge was no big deal, because she still loved them, and they were also Ormazd's children. At the same time, her children would also prove her right again and again, succumbing to selfish desires just like she would expect mortals to.
And as she herself noted, Liloupar doesn't regret her deeds. To her, this was a case of "fuck around and find out", and Ormazd certainly found out. She warned him, and he ignored it, at that point, all responsibility fell on him, at least in her eyes. She simply did what she had to, which was to take revenge on him for breaking her heart, and she felt justified even in her last moments with you and Paimon. However, that didn't stop her from facing the consequences of her actions and accepting her own karma.
At the end of it all, I really liked Liloupar. Another character on my growing list of "NPC's that I want to see become playable".
Liloupar: My children are waiting for me
Me, at 80% exploration: No u don't
So… tldr, Liloupar is basically Yandere goes brrr?
There are thousands of Asian folklore that ends with calamity, I am Indonesian and there was a similar story where mother cursed their child that lead to their doom called Malin Kundang (West Sumatra).
I was shocked to hear that Gurabad calamity was started by brokenhearted mother cursed words, although not many people came from Asia, it is recommended to take every words coming from your birth mother and engraved them to your heart, some may not happen instantly, but most of their advices may arise in later life, these days my mother keep 'cursing' me for my rebellious phase and it shall passed down to my off springs later on but since I am not married nor in any sexual relationship, that can be arranged and postponed at least for 10-20 years later 🤧
AI art is pretty cringe dude
im too busy to read all the dialogs thats why i thank you for these types vids
I so supries with liloupar past time
Names of the OST used please ?
In short, liloupar commited Ayato's past incarnation (Otto Apocalypse, Honkai Impact 3rd)
Damnn so this is what the 5 hours world quest told us about 🤣🤣 you're my livesaver ðŸ«
Wasnt the Jinn talking about Tabibito being an exiled prince/princess? What is that all about. That reminds me of the battlepass story.
Can you do Xiphos' story next?
Whats the name of the song at 0:13 ?
Where was it mentioned about Liloupar specifically using the powers of the abyss to start the plague in Gurabad? Jinni's have abyssal power? That's kinda wild.
Gotta say, this story really does sound like such a fairy tale or folklore. It gets so excessive. A mortal and jinn fell in love and built a kingdom together, but then the mortal betrayed the jinn, so the jinn used her mystical powers to screw over her descendants.
If I heard of this story out of context and knew nothing of Genshin, I would believe this to be a real folklore. I've heard of some real folklore like this, that also gets so excessive and dramatic.
Liloupar did what she did because she's not a human, her abilities for empathy is as good as my ability to lick my own forehead. She just couldn't understand that there are better, more humane ways to deal with her predicament, and so she resorted to the extreme. I don't like her attitude. She's also kind of a racist, but her treatment of Jeht and the other Tanits gives us a glimpse of what kind of society the ancient Gurabad was.
Man, Gurabad arc in the Genshin anime would be very interesting.
I hope we get lore for Ay Khanoum (probably butchered the name) in the next desert expansion.
sandstorm area ost really gave me goosebumps
Liloupar split to seven parts just like playable character with Constellations.
No wonder why even king deshret get mad at liloupar.
Thank u for the summary… i skipped all that unvoiced dialogue…
For me not voiced= not important enough for mihoyo = why should i read for hours
Im confused. There's a book on Daena – "Tales of Shirin and Shiruyeh", it says there that it was Shiruyeh who went mad (because of neverending nightmares after killing his own father), got lost in a "black chasm", and never found again. And then the plague came from that chasm, affecting "half the population of gurabad", with survivors calling it "Shiruyeh's plague".
Hey guys, I been playing Genshin since launched, but I didn't play it for months since Summer launch (September 2022 to December 2022), I catch up on all the quest recently during New Year break. But still kinda confuse on the lore, and I think some of infos are from event quest? For example, Nilou sleep in water?? Where is that clip from? And the Mika from monsdalt?
Love your lore summaries and analysis so much! Work been busy lately so watching your video helps me a lot to keep up with genshin lores =]
It's crazy to think how many stories Genshin contains. Like our journey itself and the existence of traveler itself is a web of questions. Thanks to you for sharing the lore in the game.
I really dislike the whole "this knowledge will bring destruction to you but I'll tell you anyway because I don't care I've warned you" I know you're all powerful beings but istg I hate it.
So basically Liloupar and her Jinni race are just yanderes cranked up to 11 and the downfall of Gurabad is because Ormazd fell in love with a yandere.
I guess the traveler and paimon dodged a bullet at the end there.
where did you get the artwork for the characters? it looks spot on honestly
Can you make a video how the Orchard was created, tnx!
Jeht playable when?
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS..
Me tired already to do the quest so cant focus to the story. GOD AND GODDESS BLESS YOU FOR MAKIN' THIS
anyway, will you make one too about King Deshret and Nabu Malikata (wish type it correctly)?? I still confused about the ETERNAL OASIS lore.
I'd add something extra, if you guys remember "the whispering parchment" (or if already done the short puzzle and got the chest, "misterius parchment"), open it (it's in inventory, scroll down to bottom part) and read it. Apparently Hasad the Golden Adventurer able to get inside Gurabad, and there they got cursed.
The kicker is she still believes she did no wrong, so her end is in the future.
I really loved how you narrated the last part. Your choice of words was excellent and fit in perfectly with the sad music in the background. I never knew that Liloupar was going to go to the Abyss just to reunite with her children, it almost brought me to tears despite knowing what she did.
Ever since the start of sumeru i feel so overwhelmed by the lores of the ruins and ancient civilizations so this was really helpful.
Sad that you used AI art for this video
i dont remember getting the quest memories of gurabad
i was wondering where the others are and kinda spoiled myself that liloupar would leave
There is 1 thing I don’t understand when the kings of gurbad were being and all what was king desheret doing .didn’t he even bother to do something about.
i know she isn't human and therefore doesn't abide by human standards and morality, but GOD do i hate how rude she was to the desert people, it was borderline racism imo 💀
