- It's a bit late (by a couple of patches) and I'll probably need to update the Scaramouche section fairly soon, but here it is! The Beginner's Guide to Genshin Lore: Inazuma Edition!
This video is a complete (but not comprehensive) timeline of important events in Enkanomiya and Inazuma from the (presumed) beginning of Teyvat's history to the arrival of the Traveler (and the beginning of the Inazuma Archon quests). Again, this video is NOT comprehensive. Think of it as a highlight reel with an estimated order of events you can use as a basic framework of understanding.
Corrections and updates will be in the pinned comment below!

**NOTES, CORRECTIONS & UPDATES**
- I made a small error regarding Kazuha's Friend and his duel. Kazuha's friend did not fight the Shogun directly, he challenged Sara to a "duel before the throne" in the same way the Traveler challenged Signora. The loser was put to death. I knew this and still forgot to properly clarify it in the script.
Even I didn’t realize that. I always thought he went against the Shogun. Interesting.
How did he lose to an archer of the same element when he used a sword then. Was Sara standing on a unclimbable hilichurl tower? That’s cheating
@@minglifeng2862 Kujou lore-wise is pretty strong.
This makes total sense since if he fought the shogun directly he would be sliced to bits in seconds
In the cutscene you can actually see Sara holding a sword by her side
I love how cohesive and intertwined the Lore in this game is. For example, Kazuha as a character only exists as he is because Orobashi read a book 2000 years ago
I can't imagine a massive snake reading a 20cm book, how he was holding it?
@@joaolana3425 i assume he eat the book like the books we use for level up...where they go when we use them..its a joke, But between this game and elden ring i will not be Surprised for any deeper meanings
@@Lorix84 lol dw i found it funny
@@joaolana3425he was sitting on a little chair with a reading light with a tiny monocle
Just sharing. Not sure where I saw it, but there was this scene in Scara's back story in Sumeru's archon quest where Scara brought lavender melon to the deceased child only to find out that he's dead. It was connected to the lore with the Pharmacist and that one Samurai guy who we were task to pray and worship. Apparently during that time, the "doctor" or the attending physician by then told the people on that island that eating Lavender Melon will help cure the disease cause by Tatargami.
That Samurai guy's lore, Nameless Samurai and every lore in Yashiori Island are the best lore in Inazuma for me. Darkest too. That island has a depressing vibe for a reason. Nothing good happens there.
Oroboshi's trial being represented by Ace Attorney was the best thing.
18:24
Kazuha's friend challenged >the vision-hunt decree enforcers< (said in the PV- SPOL, in Kazuha's story number 4 and by an npc in the shrine). Until he came to Sara who defeated him and consequently, Shogun Raiden executed him. At no point did he fight Shogun. I clarify this because he fought against Sara.
Thanks for your video, it was necessary because Inazuma's story is very hidden. Good luck with the Sumeru guide~
Although you are correct, Kazuhas friend did wish to witness the might of the Shogun's Musou no Hitotachi right? Perhaps facing the Shogun was his intention all along, as he firmly believed there would be a person that is able to withstand it, hence trying to himself, ending in his demise.
That's just my own understanding ofcourse.
@@protagkun8859 He was already defeated by then, so it doesn't really matter.
@@protagkun8859 It was a win-win for him. He either won and kept his life and Vision, or he lost, and had the opportunity to face not the Shogun, exactly, but the Musuo no Hitotachi, specifically.
@@effortlessfury That's not a win-win situation. A lot of people misunderstand his intention and think he just wanted to face the Shogun or see the Musuo no Hitotachi, which isn't the case at all. He died because he was trying to fight for freedom, not because he was on a suicide mission to see the Musuo no Hitotachi. His reason for wanting to withstand it wasn't to prove his strength or something, he's not Childe. It was because he wanted to show there could be someone strong enough to stand against the oppressors. But he never got to try and withstand it because he was already defeated by Sara in a duel before the throne and then the Shogun executed him after he had already been defeated. He only fought because he was trying to protect his vision from being taken and got killed for standing up for what he believed in. That's not really a win at all, just a tragedy.
@@blue7609 you really should listen to Kazuha explain it in the animatic from the Inazuma prologue. And then consider it only relit specifically when he faced down the MnH. There's no basis in anything anyone has said in game for your belief.
I like how that us the player collect all the books and lore and read the description on the artifact but the traveler dosent read but just collect them and acts shock to the information given by characters instead of the traveller figuring out themself lmaoo
Traveller does read books tho (not sure about artifacts) i remember them saying they read about the topic at hand in books (in a quest) paimon questioned "wait, why do you read books? They are boring!" (or something along the lines) we got two dialogue options to chose:
1. They are interesting
2. There might be clues about our sibling
Its Paimon who gets shocked about most information, traveller tends to stay nonchanlant only during big revelations (like in archon quests) do they express their surprise.
Minor oopsie at 8:39, Miko is around 500 to 600 years old since she has five tails, fox spirits start growing one tail/one hundred year when they hit 200 years old.
Every single time I think that your videos can’t get better you post another one. I’m starting to think that you are simply too amazing for this world😵💫🤗
she's ready to ascend to godhood
A descendant confirmed
Celestia is chasing her down
Even tho i read lore item description and books theres still some info that i missed and didnt piece together and this video just put all the lore i know together smoothly.. i think this guide is perfect specially for the newer player who are interested in genshin lore.
same! almost all the npc and characters here mention I all know except a timeline that stitch them together, this video help a ton piecing it together!
The editing in this video, holy !!! :D Thank you for making this. As a lore enjoyer, sometimes researching it myself can be a bit tiring or confusing .. so this is SUPER HELPFUL.
@5:05 so Ei committed suicide so Makoto can become the 'sole victor' (at least in Inazuma) thereby allowing her to ascend to godhood??! Wow I didn't know that. Then Ei just got resurrected or more accurately 'reconstructed'? I'm so confused.
It's kinda weird like couldn't raiden do the same when her sister died? She had the gnosis and all ...
I think the elctro twins were weapon spirits 1 spear and 1 sword thus one was unforged and then reforged after her sister ascended. (she now lives in her sisters sword body.)
@@hazaubel6532 probably because you need to plan ahead. Both sisters were aware that Ei was gonna kill herself so they probably took the precautions needed to conserve her conscience. However Makoto died unexpectedly in Khaenriah and so I assume by the time Ei got to her she didn’t have the time to conserve her.
@@hazaubel6532 I guess Scaramouche was also a test for that but Ei probably wasn't as knowledgeable about that technology as Makoto was
@@hazaubel6532 Makoto was the brains of the twins while Ei was the brawns. By then, you can assume Ei doesn't really have enough knowledge as Makoto had to do the same thing, although she had enough to make puppets who could've been vessels for the Gnosis (or better yet, Makoto)
The editing on this video is immaculate.
OMG, the editing so freaking cool and i love the details as well. like 3rd dead moon etc
I needed this! I actually know all of this, but it's hard to have a full picture of everything together. In my head all stories don't connect to each other ^_^"
OMG Ashikai your editing skills have improved so much! Kudos to you and genshin's lore
YESS!! Another guide!! :D can’t wait to watch this- OMG THE EDITING!! It’s awesome!! :O I love it.
12:42 wait… I just had a thought. So from Ei’s second story quest, remember how it we were indirectly told that Istaroth had a hand in creating the sacred Sakura? and how the creation of said irminsul tree kinda reshaped the memories of the people there except for Ei because she was in Khaenri’ah? Considering the parallels to the final act of the Sumeru archon quest, I’m starting to wonder if Istaroth could potentially have the ability to manipulate and create irminsul trees & their data. If so, they could be the ones concealing the fate of our sibling, and also maybe the one that put our siblings info into the irminsul database, however if that’s the case I don’t believe it was because of malicious intentions.
Also, had another thought, and it was about Dainsleif, and his title as bough keeper. I was also wondering if Dain could potentially have a connection to irminsul, similar to what many scholars were trying to achieve in Sumeru, except his connection was deeper in some way. Maybe he was like a personified file preserver, overseeing irminsul data and making sure nothing went wrong.
This random thought brought me back to another question I had from we will be reunited. The abyss sibling explicitly states that Dain directly failed in protecting the citizens of Khaenri’ah, which heavily implies that he had the ability to save them.
If my random thoughts are correct, maybe Dainsleif, seeing that the deaths of the Khaenri’ahns, (a lot of them harboring forbidden knowledge) realized that those people being absorbed into the leylines would spell disaster for teyvat, and chose to not preserve them, not knowing that Celestia’s punishment would be a lot more severe than he imagined it to be. Perhaps this is also why he’s managed to stave off the curse for so long, because of this supposed ability.
This is probably all crack, but I thought it was an interesting thought. XD
This lore hear is so well presented, I feel Like I'm genuinely reading (well listening to) a well written history book. Great video
i love lore of inazuma. its self contain yet so much info.
absolutely love the editing. you make the perfect storyteller !!
The pacing and editing makes this video very enjoyable, bravo!
Thanks for the amazing Inazuma lore guide💜! The editing gets better every single time, especially this is one of the best Ashikai video💯 of all time for sure.
I love love love the visuals of this video, the editing is *chefs kiss*
the editing is so good-
already knew most of it but having in video all nicely put together is so useful. thank you!
The editing on this was TIGHT! Amazing work presenting the information. I gotta go through a few spots more carefully but it helped solidify the timeline quite a bit in my head, Thank you!
your efforts are much appreciated!
its always great to refresh on previous lore and your presentation style gets all the bonus points in all the categories.
holy moly the editing is so fun and engaging! thank you TXR for such a wonderfully edited video, and of course ashikai for another hard banger
A lot of the things in the video were new to me, never found them when playing myself. Appreciate the work you did here, cleared so many doubts. Also, the editing of the video is absolutely a beast.
I just want to say that I am so so so thankful not only for your super informative video but also just the overall enthusiasm!! ❤❤ I also love the editing (makes it so easy for a visual learner line me 😚)
I LOVE this! As someone who's interested in the lore, but struggles to consume it via the game (specifically the non-voiced world quests), this is perfect! Thanks for this! I'd would love to see a Beginner's Guide to the Aranara World Quest!
OMG YAY! So excited to watch it while drawing! Thank you so much for the video💕⚡
I love this! So nice to have all the lore streamlined in one beautifully edited video under 20 minutes
excellent comprehensive summary of inazuma and big ups to your editor! what a great team you two make :D cant wait for more stuff from this duo in the future
Love the video and editing, keep up the good work!
This is one of the best edited videos I’ve ever seen. Not only was it informative but also entertaining. Well done!
god the amount of names in this video gives me a headache. I swear I watched every scene like 5 times and found myself using this video as a baseline for further research on wiki. Its so amazing and honestly Im so impressed, always though the Inazuma lore was complex but I did not knew that it was THAT complex. Love your work, wouldn't have known the story without you
Woah. Great intro and editing. Wonderful video, so much informations and still presented so well. It helped me put everything into order and timeline for the first time.
Awesome work (btw the editing is also fantastic)! this video is incredibly useful for me, because i adore Genshin lore but it can be get super complicated to follow, specially on Inazuma.
Thanks a lot, your work make me enjoy even more this wonderful game.
Absolutely awesome how you gather all this history. Amazing how much lore the put into Genshin…just wow and it’s only one nation. There’s 6 more plus Khaenria etc
the editing in this is very epic. editor-san is doing a great job.
I just love your videos so much, they fill my heart with excitement more and more about the game and I've been playing since release, but so much gets lost in translation or is never even mentioned. :D
The editing in this video is top tier, amazing!
I love the editing!! Thanks for the new video
i loved inazuma as a whole, but this made me realize just how intricate and well-written the nation’s storyline is
thank you so much for this 🙏 it helps me appreciate inazuma's history and lore for i didn't really dive through it because of the scattered information about it.
THE EDITING IS SO GOOD!!!
good job as always! you never miss man, this video was a full pack and everything was so on point (i also learned some new things i had missed) thank you again for your great videos!
I love the video editing!!
Yet another amazing video! The editing is ever changing and becoming so great! Keep up the amazing work! Can’t wait for the Sumeru guide 😜
Awesome video as always! I love how u managed to conclude everything and makes it easier to understand 😘
Btw just adding a little tidbits for Kazuha at the end. The Yashiro Commission aka Kamisato Ayato was the one helping Kazuha escape with Beidou when the Vision Hunt decree happened. I love that tiny detail for some reason.
I LOVE the intro so cute !! your editor does great work ash
Omg the editing and the content, simply amazingg
Thank you for relasing a new lore!, i just binge watched all your videos and was missing your lores!! >.
Really really REALLY good job editor!
i love this series! can't wait for you to update on other regions like the chasm or maybe even dragonspine. keep up the good work
love the video, the content and most of all the editing is just so funny i love it
Seriously amazing editing! I m mesmerised
this was so well made! thank you so much
Ahhh how can I like this more than once
I genuinly love your videos ♡ they are the best
Perfect, subbed. No reason to stop when the game content starts, I’d love a continuation with an equivalent summary of the gameplay story…
I was just watching your hexenzirkel video
the editing is phenomenal!
Still funny picturing a GIANT SNAKE stumbling upon a forbidden book and reading it. Preferably with comically small reading glasses.
That is canon. I refuse to believe otherwise
Finally been waiting for this
First of all, wow, that was amazing. Condensed abd straight to the point, and with some hilarious presentation bits.
Secondly... wow... just wow... 😵
Amazing recap. I really enjoy the lore but read non quest lore resources very rarely so these videos are invaluable.
About Ei having sacrificed himself, this is a fiction from the book Treasured Tales of the Chouken Shinkageuchi. She herself states this: "The account given in the book "Treasured Tales" is largely an accurate one. At that time, she was preoccupied with various domestic matters within the island, so as her kagemusha, I assumed her identity and joined the troops dispatched to pacify Watatsumi. After this point, however, the story turns into mere wishful thinking. Back then, I was just a martial artist wrapped up in all the fighting, not a social reformer or moral leader." More about Ei: III
Love the editing❤️
damn the editing slaps, gj on this one!
The editing in this video is amazing
Just wanted to say thank you for all the time and effort you put into these videos. I love Genshin world building but I get really overwhelmed with Genshin lore and sometimes the way it’s written in game is a little hard to process.
Thank you again Yanfai, keep up the good work
very nice production luv it
Like, I was live from 2.0 to 2.8, and only this time I have learned all of these! Thanks a lot Ashikai!
All hail, Ms. Ashikai!!! 😭🙌 Have been waiting for this for ages, it's fINALLY HEEEERE! Thank you for this! 💗💗💗

In the Song of Life it's mentioned that he was created with the purpose of holding the Gnosis but it wasn't mentioned that the Gnosis was inserted into him, just that he shed tears in his dreams.
Anyways awesome video as always!
Some details on Inazuma's lore became much clearer for me, can't wait for the next installment 👍
The flower of the same set mentions that the Gnosis indeed inserted into him.
@@b-meuwu1236 The Bloom Times piece mentions that the phantom in his dream was like "The young man in the *distant past* , who was akin to a blank sheet of paper" and with the "The wanderer did not know he had any faculties from dreaming. Thinking this must have been the researcher's little trick, Or perhaps it was the resistance of that *bygone* heart" it gives me the impression that dream took place at least after he joined the Fatui since it seems to reference Dottore and the distant past where he was still a blank sheet of paper during his wanderings.
@@-Genki It's this part "You once acquired the 'heart' that you always dreamed of"
"But it was but a mere prop for lies and deception."
"Now, you will finally obtain what belongs to you,"
"And this false construct of a body can at last aspire to power over this world.". Gnosis mean god heart in Chinese so yes, Ei did put the Gnosis into him then took it away, and now he has it back
I just got to Inazuma yesterday, so this is very helpful.
Thank you.
Hey i binged ur vids while working got me thinking for work too! Thanks will be doing commissions now
FINALLY!! I get the gist of both mondstadt and liyue (even a little bit of sumeru) but I've always been confused about inazuma so THANK YOU!
Thank you so much, this is great for people who are new to the game
Finally its here! Been waiting for this one. I'll go get food for this one.
The editing on this is just chef's kiss
I love these lore videos! It’s hard to put everything together when you’re only getting bits and pieces while normally playing the game.
I’m so glad for you Ashikai cuz to me it’s the exploration of Inazuma that sets me back from getting into its lore, its just too tedious. I haven’t even unlocked Enkanomiya yet lol.
As usual thanks for the super detailed contents
Banger content yet again
OM god it came out lol!!! Soooooo excited to watch it love all your vids ashikai!!!!! ☺️☺️☺️
this is peak storytelling! i love the graphic depictions
Thank you for the well-put video. This will surely help me remember Genshin's lores, since my memory is not that good 😂
Pls publish more videos i really enjoy them and even watch them more than one time❤️
Thank you so much for this video! I've been looking around for videos on Genshin lore and yours was the best I could find. So much information condensed so tightly. Can you also do some more re-cap/summary videos for the events that actually happened in game? Especially for Inazuma which I think has the most complicated story line(s). I was really sad when you ended the video cause I was hoping you'd continue all the way up til the end of all the quests right before we went to Sumeru.
Amazing vid!
on god i need Kazuha and scara to meet ..................... AMAZING VIDEO AS ALWAYS!!!! its wild how i didnt even knew half of this info or at least how it entwined in the story overall. i play on mobile and pretty dyslexic so its hard for me to read in world quests, thank you so much for those videos you are doing lords work
the editing is top notch
I needed this!!!
Thank you for this!
HOLY SHIT THE PRODUCTION QUALITY OF THIS VIDEO !!!!!! Nice !!! I loved it.
That majoras mask moon has me rollin 🤣 didn't expect that
so good video !!
i quit genshin 2 years ago since I don't know how to fight and upgrating things are just too complicated for me but i really love the lores, character backgrounds and world building in this game.. so, thank you so much
I feel like a child again! listening to my favorite storybook. Such superb in-depth storytelling.😅
Was just sitting there this morning “man I wish Ashikai had a new video out” AND HERE YOU ARE. A GIFT FROM THE ARCHONS.
