THE WITNESS: Why The Archons Need the Traveler [Genshin Impact Lore And Discussion]



#genshinimpact
Teyvat, for all of its beauty, has a hidden danger lurking in the shadows. Which is why today, I want to discuss the idea of why the Gods, or more specifically the Archons need the Traveler. And why the World needs the Traveler. Because the Traveler is known as the ultimate witness in the world. But what does it really mean to be a witness, and why would the Archons need a witness in the first place?

  1. With the card game being added to the game everything makes sense.

    The "Omni Element" dice is the creator. All the other 7 elements are light frequencies which when combined creates "pure light".

    We all know the travelers are children of the creator not only of Teyvat, but everything that exists and that the people who rule over celestia are NOT the true gods.

    The archons are working together with the Tsaritsa to dethrone whoever rules over celestia, that is why they have been giving away their gnosis. They have figured out they are being used as pawns to sustain Teyvat's biggest fraud:

    The 7 elements are a lie, there is only "pure light". Celestia has managed to weaken the true creator and split its light in 7 weaker frequencies. The Archons are broken shadows of the same being.

  2. What Celestia is hiding is the use of a fake sky to force the people of Teyvat to have an already written Fate instead of letting them free to pursue their destiny.
    And those who's actions break through that fake sky ends up having a Vision, that way Celestia ties them into a made up constellation to make them submit.
    This is the knowledge that Dottore gave to Nahida according to my theory.

  4. All that knowledge (zhongli/Venti) and yet they didnt tell us shit. Nahida (and Ei to to a certain extent) was the ONLY archon who gave us any good info on how to find the sibling and the overall state of teyvat. They were useful.

    Nahida > Ei >>>>>>>>zhongli/Venti

    Traveler only cares about the sibling. Teyvats issues just keeps getting in the way

  5. On the topic of records and recording things, this reminds me of something called ā€œThe Golden Recordā€ a, well, record, that has sounds of the earth, music, and greetings in 55 different languages. It was launched into space, as a sort of Time Capsule, in hopes that any other spacefarers may one day come across it. Preserving earths legacy, and telling our story to extraterrestrials people.

    What I’m trying to get at is that’s it’s very similar to what the traveler is for Teyvat. With Aether bring called ā€œGoldenā€ on multiple occasions. example: Golden Nara, Golden Comet, or just ā€œblondeā€ if you want to count that. Aether is practically a loving golden record of Teyvat, and possibly many other worlds and planets that have made him a witness as well.

  6. i think it's very sweet that all of the archons we've seen so far see us as another way to preserve them forever. because traveler has been around so long and they're implied to be immortal, traveler will always carry memories with them. and no matter how wary they were of us at the beginning, they realize that traveler is someone they can rely on to be around them for nearly forever. and not only for them, but the twins are able to preserve all of teyvat. and unlike the irminsul, the traveler's memories can't be tainted, changed, or forgotten.

    the twins may not have started this journey to preserve teyvat nor deeply care about this world, but as their journeys go on, they can't help but care about teyvat. it's kinda bittersweet because there will be a day where teyvat won't exist, but traveler will continue to carry everything that teyvat was. to acknowledge the duty of being the witness means accepting that this will all be gone one day.

  7. One thing that nobody seems to question is the fact that if Celestia didn't want the twins on Teyvat why are they even there? Celestia were literally the ones who put the Traveler on Teyvat, let them live, and made it so they couldn't leave. The Travler wouldn't have even been on Teyvat to be a 'witness' and discover Celestia's secrets in the first place if the Sustainer hadn't interrupted them just as they were about to leave. Did the Traveler and their twin uncover some sort of forbidden serect before Khaenri'ah was destroyed and Celestia didn't want them to take that infomation beyond Teyvat? If so why didn't they just kill them instead of putting them into a coma? Are the twins so powerful even Celestia can't get rid of them without ramifications? Or is the Traveler also unknowingly serving Celestia's purpose somehow and eveything is proceeding just as planned? Interesting… I want to know what other people think.

  8. Damn, this captured perfectly one of my biggest fears that one day when humanity comes to an end, there won't be anything left to remind future civilizations about our legacy. Everything will just simply disappear as time goes by. Heck, even this amazing game and many others will be forgotten eventually. That's just sad
