Edit: CC subtitles are up! Any retrospective notes, comments, etc, will go here. - Some people have noted that Perinheri's pronouns change in different languages. I have checked this and this is ONLY true for Chinese TRADITIONAL. Not even Chinese simplified. I usually try to check for any language discrepancies in CHS, not CHT. Also, the pronoun change ALSO applies to the line with the king addressing the advisor - so it's not unique to Perinheri. Because of these observations I'm inclined to think this was more of an error or unintentional (or the developers had different ideas originally, and it was not fixed for the update).
I've been told that they actually did change the pronouns thing from beta to the official version. Apparently in the beta the genders used to match the Abyss twin, but now they match the Traveler. I've no idea how trustworthy this info is though. Also, another weird thing: Perinheri's gender only changes whenever he is directly spoken to: the 'you' is changing. Any other time he is referred to as, well, 'he'. The Sage on the other hand isn't referred to by any gendered pronouns outside of the 'you' instance, so their actual gender is unclear
Kaeya's grandfather fought an 8 headed hydra = 8 pointed star of KHR, as in rebellion? Then a silver-haired banshee makes me think of Paimon, for some reason. Silveris the color of the moon, after all.
@@_dragonflies_I've read a different version of this on the lore subreddit. They said that the traditional chinese text for 4.5 was full of mistakes and sloppy for the patch as a whole. And that it did seem like the text was generated automatically from simplified chinese using some kind of automated tool. Such as replacing every 'you' so it matches the traveler without actually checking if the 'you' was referring to the traveler at all. I didn't save the link so I hope I'm not misremembering.
I think, that cycle has to do with development. They have to balance the "need to drop stuff so people keep playing" with the "need time to develop and test" parts. And then need time for bug fixing, so... /\_/\_/\_/\
I literally looked a guide to get the fontaine achievement collecting all the books, and just bought perinheri without looking at it or anything, only to see theory videos talking about it like the greatest lore drop in a while. It’s just funny cuz I never visited the fontaine book guy and the one time that I finally did, it happened to be when perinheri was added
I have a theory it was put there as a sneak peek for the next update, a way to introduce the ideas so it's a bit easier to get the significance of certain things
I wish they did it more there’s literally no reason for them not to be able to write a few pages every patch, y’all only get story content like twice a month anyways and it’s mid asf unless it’s a .0 patch
Us next time we see Kaeya: what do you know about the Crimson Moon Dynasty? Kaeya: nooo don’t ask me about the history of my homeland’s monarchy and changes that happened across centuries that puts my seemingly normal existence into renewed question traveller youre soo sexy aha let’s talk about wine instead
Hol Up, Khaenri'ah is a dead nation right? and kaeya is basically a spy from that nation so wouldn't that mean that khaneriah is still sort of alive working underground or it it that kaeya is just really that OLD.
@margaritasauce4235 not necessarily. There are the Khaenrians who were afflicted with the immortality curse. The nation itself may have fallen, but there could still be remnants composed of people who haven't lost themselves to the curse yet. Kaeya is likely descended from some of those people.
Elynas was a creature that originally came from what can only be assumed to be this "sea of stars". Rhinedottir transformed him, an abyss creature, into an entity that can exist in Teyvat. If Perinheri was "created" by the Khaenriahns as an artificial person, then it could make thematic sense. The difference here is Elynas knew he originated from the abyss, while Perinheri's first memory was his trial as a child. Either way, this book reinforced my believe that the abyss, aka sea of stars, is actually space, where aliens and spaceships alike can get to Khaenriah but cannot get to Teyvat directly.
It's funny because, in the part where you mentioned Kaeya, I noticed something peculiar. Moonstad is a place where many Orphan children come. First there is Razor who was adopted by the Spirit of a God. Then there is Bennett who was found by some explorers. Then there is Rosaria who was abandoned and raised by thieves. I don't know if I consider Albedo an Orphan but basically he is a foreigner who arrived in those lands with Alice and Klee. Then there is Kaeya who was left there by his father. And if we take into account the traveler... Is Moonstad a kind of parallel to the orphanage mentioned in the book?🤔🤔
That end bit with Kaeya... SAME. And it actually recontextualizes what his 'Father' had told him last: "You are our last hope." With this theory, it stands to reason that Kaeya is their last hope of breaking the shackles of Fate. Even now for those who weren't cursed or killed during the Cataclysm, they're still yearning for Freedom. Hence why he's left In Mondstadt of all places.
I have a different interpretation of why Perinheri can't remember before that fire. The description of that tunnel is strange. He says it's like it was made for children, there is no other entrance, yet he's on the far end of it when his memory begins, there is coal ash everywhere and specifically 'there are no cobwebs'. They asked 'did you die' because he did. He burned in the fire, and using some kind of alchemical magic he was brought back as a 'glitch' or 'error code'. Like they forced a rebirth in the same samsara, which makes him no longer connected to any past gods, and no longer a child of the world. This is similar in the way that delusions seem to be messing with or burning up your future/future lives. Arlecchino most likely also went through this process.
I'm just a simple girl, thinking about a character who also: has red (ish) eyes is an orphan with unknown lineage was cared for by a seemingly very important and misterious figure of authority is bonded, through adoption, to someone who fights the good fight against rift wolves whose destiny is marked by revelations, Sin and Divine Retribution in the stars/constellation is tied to Mondstadt That's right! I'm talking about Rosaria once more!
AND WRIOTHESLEY! same cryo vision begotten after killing off an abusive parental figure, atheism, not really caring about visions and the heavens, similar history of childhood violence and even colour scheme, constellation is cerberus(?), like the heart of naberius found by R and Albedo???
He lived so long, even if he just kills one thing every few hundred years, he ends up killing lots a things...😅 But he admittedly knows lots. Probably everything we want to know. It's just that he made a contract not to speak of .... Well... Most of it, it seems. I just want to know what will happen when Neuvillette brings judgement upon him... That will be a long trial.... (Although judgement doesn't necessarily mean punishment at the end...)
About final section of the video - what if Irmin isn’t Crimson Moon, but just his eye is? In myths Odin gave away his eye for wisdom. What if this was some sort of a deal - Irmin gets knowledge and as an exchange whatever has that knowledge gets to use his eye
This book is seriously driving me crazy. Of course there is the probable arlechino connection but we should also not forget that we’re due for a dain quest
OH one more thing, obviously theres some connections we already know about the curse of the wilderness but i think we should especially rethink about Clothars child specifically saying he felt like he was stuck in a small black room or something. I feel like this might be relevant and connected to like the chimney and stuff. He literally then asks "am i dead" LIKE BRO....
Me: anticipating Venti during the Arle bit You: Kaeya ❤💙 No but the part about Perinheri, Angelique and freedom made me think about the fact that Venti became the God of Freedom around the same time period and now this book has given me my 10 headache because the more I read and watch vids about it, the more interesting it seems
Just saw this comment as well as the one made by @yaririscapellan4874 , and it has led me down the crack theory rabbit hole that perhaps Venti had something to do with their desires for freedom/attainment of it. In the Gliding Manual cutscene from the Mond Archon Quest, it talks about how 'birds that wanted to fly asked the Anemo God for help'. In response, he helped them realize that they needed courage in order to obtain their desire. Mind you this is pry just meant to give courage to people learning to glide, and could be seen as a double entendre for the people of Mondstadt to gain the courage to fight for their freedom, but who said it has to stop there? Anyway, when the bird imagery was used around the 23:00 mark, I too gained a headache much like your own lmao.
also the curse of the wilderness is so insane because if betrayal of the gods turns one into hilichurls, i am reminded of the BSaM line about the early humans signing a covenant with the PO, and how Deus Auri is all about contracts and betrayal of contracts will be punished in this land where gods walked (summit shaper). Prithiva Topaz talking about mora being symbolic of morax's blood (hey eucharist myth) coupled with citrinitas and golden mora being at the core of the quid pro quo of any contract that made liyue the flourishing harbour it is today...I digress for now HOWEVER the hilichurl cultural customs book talks about a tribe in dadaupa gorge (called the Eclipse tribe btw) that worships an eclipsed sun.interestingly, the TRAVELLER has a voiceline about the eclipse tribe, where paimon asks the traveller why they are pondering about the eclipse symbol used by the hilichurl tribe, and we CHANGE the subject.
@@readonlymemoriesIt’s notable that this line was available from launch, which means it predates “We Will Be Reunited”. It was basically foreshadowing that the Traveler knew about Khaenri’ah from the beginning, but just hadn’t said anything until then. That little fact is why we shouldn’t make too many assumptions about the Traveler. They know more than we do about a lot of stuff. I also find it very interesting how the Traveler will often get rid of Paimon somehow before talking about specific subjects. While they may be our point of view character, they are still very mysterious.
the main difference between any old coin and Mora being the fact Mora is an alchemycal catalyst is so interesting to me. Not to mention the triquetra which brings it full circle back to talks about the PO. Morax being name dropped in Perinheri is deffo not just a coincidence.
11:25 crimson moon is also depicted weirdly enough in the solar pearl description >Just as Kunwu finished polishing the Solar Pearl, the splendor of the heavens shone down and a crimson moon filled the sky. But did this phenomenon mean that Kunwu had indeed received divine assistance in his craft? Or was it a measure of his own accomplishment that his lofty ambitions had sufficed to send waves through the firmament and even elicit a response from the heavenly bodies?
Wow Perinheri, the book, as an allegory about how only a being coming from the abyss can escape from the shackles of fate, is not why I envisioned starting my day with. This makes Venti look so suspicious, though. How can he, a Heavenly Principles contracted God, be the representation of Freedom? He doesn't have a Vision, so he can't be tied to the fate of this world or something along those lines, in René's words. Maybe his famous "What is freedom if demanded by a God" line doesn't refer to himself and his people, but the heavenly principles and their subjects. Angelica gives me the creeps. At first, I thought she was some kind of Hexenzirkel witch or a Visionary of some kind. Now, she could be an allegory within an allegory and represent from the Heavenly Principles to the Old Order of the world. Perhaps a heavenly envoy, a Seelie, Istaroth herself or just a fragment of hers, a close follower of an unknown God-King... But why name-drop Deus Auri in all of this, WHAT DO YOU KNOW MORAX??!!
everyone making theories about kaeya meanwhile Pierro who not only has a covered eye, tear symbolism, knew whatever the Khaenri'ahns did will bring destruction, and never even speaks like a normal human being
This was such a good video!! Also ik its just a silly theory but your notes abt Kaeya maybe being from the orphanage and the ppl there being connected to the sea symbolism due to the abyss... it reminded me that during Kaeya's hangout when he talks to Venti, they are both metaphorically referring to Kaeya as someone who is in a boat, in a rumultuous sea, sailing towards the dawn with the wind as a guide... it feels rlly sus now... I just aaaa rlly recommend revisiting that interaction again haha
9:35 That gate behind Kaeya leads to the abyss... and it's near Mondstadt and Snezhnaya... i remember Varka saying that Mondstadt and Snezhnaya both have a common enemy, and that's why he is on an expedition. I think we could get a map expansion near the Abyss gate since Dornman port is also close to that area too
It’s interesting to note that Kaenri’ah has star eyes. Looking back from Arlecchino/Peruere’s origins, her ancestors must have made a pact with the Crimson Moon, morphing their eyes to Crimson X’s as a sign that they made a pact with an entity. Which is why Arlecchino has X’s in her pupils, stating that she is a direct descendant from that blood lineage.
watching this made me recall an achievement in sumeru desert called "la luna rossa", you get it for completing the chessboard at safhe shatranji and it says "across this vast chessboard, what horrors have been enacted under the light of blood-red moon?" and i think it might be related to this so i thought i share it with you guys good video btw
I just realized something. If you look really closely at the cover of Perinheri, if you study the eye closely, you'll realize that it's not the eye of someone from Khaenri'ah. The most destiguishible thing about people from Khaenri'ah, besides their flashy clothes, is the pupils of their eyes. I don't know if this is a stylistic choice or if it means that, whoever is crying, is a character in the book that isn't from Khaenri'ah. If Perinheri isn't cursed for leaving, then that could mean that he, himself, isn't genetically Khaenri'an or he has something in his blood that Kaeya might have as well that keeps him from being cursed. Okay, you mention about King Irmin being THE crimson moon, but I really thought about it and while you said it as a joke, you might not be too far off even metaphorically speaking. When I saw that image you put on the screen, the first thing I thought of was the "Dwarf in the Flask" (or "Father") from Fullmetal Alchemist. (He was also called "homunculus," but I won't call him that because there were a lot of those and they'll come up as I'm writing this.) "Father" was a being created by an ancient people who studied alchemy and created him, a being with even greater knowledge on the subject. They kept him in a flask to gather his knowledge. All he really was was a small black cloud with a single eye. He became more powerful by killing most of the people of that ancient civilization, giving him enough power to take a human form and make him and his friend, a slave of the people in this civilization, into immortal beings/breathing philosopher stones. He then created seven homonculus from himself with human forms, each one one of the traditional deadly sins. His goal was to become the perfect being and to do that, he tried to fuse and become one with God. However, God did not join him and, in his own words, he had to pay a "steep price" for "playing God." With this in mind, I wonder if the story of the "Dwarf in the Flask" is anything like Irmin's. Considering both Khaenri'ah and FMA are stories about alchemy and the act of playing God, I honestly wouldn't be surprised.
Note that distinctive eyes are characteristic of their aristocracy - people like Alberich clan and Dainsleif. Common folk who risk hilichurlification had ordinary eyes.
So that would make the Crimson Moon the third Fate, the one that snips the thread of life. Based on how the eye looks horrified maybe it doesn't like its job of ending mortal lives, or maybe doesn't like that it's ordered to _not_ end mortal lives i.e. inflict the curse of immortality upon those who defy Fate. Ooorrr, maybe it's horrified because as one that can see all Truth, it can _see_ when a mortal is escaping Fate, but can't do anything about it, knowing that by crawling through the hearth away from its reach of death, the mortal in question is cursing itself to immortality, and because the Crimson Moon knows that is a terrible curse, it cries.
i love MOTHER roozeveltfox whispers crack theoy in my ear at night, so i can dream about the foundings of khaenri'ah and maybe get to see my dad in there too (kaeya)
i have a theory that my silly goofy brain made before i got meds: kaeyas name is very close to calla - calla lilies. theyre only found in mondstadt, near water, BUT they only appear on more of the eastern side of mondstadt (somehow they dont spawn in stormterrors lair) its suspicious that kaeya is seemingly so young if hes from khanrieah and was able to grow up like a regular person, its also mentioned that he was found nearby dawn winery... and where is dawn winery? near a lake! he also has some werid connections to both sumeru and mondstadt itself - almost as if he was blessed by barbatos and rukkadevata before she died, we know she didnt participate in the destruction of khanrieah BUT she may had dipped her fingers into the matter its also odd that we find more people from k'hanrieah or related to k'hanriean near chasm like for example sumeru... my weird brain conclusion goes like this: rukkadevata somehow saved some of k'hanrieah people using her powers, causing to almost destroy irminsul and killing herself (as we know, the "forbidden knowledge" might just be the bane existence of k'hanrieah or the art of khemia) AND, some reaching and adhd unmedicated mind is needed here BUT - kaeya mightve been turned into a calla lilly, and protected by barbatos for 500 years - enough time for people to forget about the importance of the last name "alberich" that would also be why kaeya was found out of nowhere, like as if he spawned there! ALSO (but this is just my imagination) i feel like we will get someone upcoming that will be some form of a royal family guardian that will recognise kaeya (maybe someone that was locked in celestia? maybe knows skirk closer? MAYBE will tell us more about who the heavenly principles are and what happened there? some paimon lore?) thx for reading the rant lmao
@@roozeveltfox i really need to get back into Tears of Themis. Also unfortunately I don’t have the writing skills to write such a fic at this point (I have none🥲) but maybe after I get better after working on smaller projects I’ll give it a go.
oh yeah and like kaeya not being full blooded but not turning into a hillichurl... the last hope being something related to the fact he is somewhat immune to the curse,
i wonder if ‘alberich’ was the surname assigned to khaenri’ah’s orphans - like how house of the hearthers are all surnamed ‘snezhevich’ or ‘snezhevna’. could also explain why kaeya talks about his “father” in hidden strife?
The section about a new kind of wild birds unchained from fate being created really reminds me of the story of barbartos teaching the first birds to fly, It makes me wonder if there were any venti shenanigans going on way back in khaenriah :D
Ah a great theory vid for my birthday! Perinheri is truly mindbreaking and I'm obsessed with it. Hope that with the release of Arlecchino the info from the book gets referenced and explained more in depth. Got to the kaeya part: I'm taking this as fact now. Nothing else matters Kaeya is Genshin Impact
"IMMERNACKTREISCH" A place where everyone is always naked!!!! 😂😂 I understand that the ch sounds are hard to pronounce, especially because this word has both. The one in Reich is the same sound as in Alberich. It's not Reisch. The first one... is really hard to do for an English speaker. But "nackt" (what you pronounced) means "naked" and "Nacht" means "night". Also, it should be stressed on the first syllable if you want to be correct. IMmernachtreich. It's just... as a German, Fischl pronunciations rub me the wrong way. 😅 (I do say Monstatt though, not Mond shtutt, because Stadt means town and Mondstadt is a region and it would confuse me).
LMAAAOOO damn. well in my defense(?) english is my native language and i cant even speak english right ahahaaaa thanks for the tips tho, i won't trust the google translate voice as much as an instructor 😭
@@roozeveltfox No need to defend youself, pronouncing foreign languages is hard. Google Translate voice does a pretty good job with German though. You can trust it. And, lets be honest, the realm of everlasting nakedness is a meme by now. 😂😂 This was a very interesting video btw. I loved it, especially the Kaeya rant at the end. 🥰
i think the devs said that Fischl's mispronunciation is on purpose lol cause shes just role playing and don't really know how to properly pronounce it😆
@@rrora. I know that it’s on purpose!!! And I love that fact. But I worry that some people might think that the words are actually pronounced that way way. “Mein Fräulein” for example makes me feel uncomfortable in a special place I didn’t know existed. I can’t listen to Oz.
What if this whole time we thought keaya’s “real father” was a man, but he’s actually just been an orphan from the house of the hearth this whole time, and the previous knave put him in mondstat as a sleeper agent.
See, with the 4.7 update and caribert quest, an interesting detail has come to my attention: Caribert Alberich is a half-blood since his mother does not hail from Kaenri'ah hence him turning into a hillichurl after the cataclysm. Despite that fact, when we saw him under Human traits, he sported the same pupils as full blooded Kaenri'an ( primo pupils being more prominent and the color of his eyes peeking through it kind of like a window.). Kaeya is theorised to be half sumerian which would have explained his smaller pupil and how its coloured black like a normal one. Now thinking back to something Albedo said in the event shadows amidst the storm: "To create artificial life, one needs to infuse it with life energy, at the end it gets sealed in with an alchemical substance that spreads into a 4-point star/diamond shape." Your feeling that Kaeya might have alchemical origins( or at least been through genetic modifications) seems plausible. That would be true for every other kaenri'ans as well ! Similar to how the people of the Xianzhou Luofu have been rendered practically immortal thanks to alchemical experiences done on their ancestors in Honkai Star Rail ! What do you make of this? Am I being delulu or is there a hint of truelulu?
ooo.... that's an interesting point re: the pontil mark. I think the only (minor) thing is that Caribert said his image was created based on his father's, so that may be one kink in that. Although... Caribert would have known what his own eyes looked like pre-hilichurlification, right.... I also thought it was interesting how they gave him blueish hair and a single blue earring - which obvs reminded me of Kaeya - but at the same time it really emphasizes how SO different they look, despite current thoughts they're both halfbloods. tbh I'm gonna go with truelulu (but if it's delulu, I'm still down with it lmao)
yet another classic roozevelt banger, what a great video reading the books I was immediately intrigued by the arle connections more than anything, but I'm always so impressed by how well the writers manage to tie multiple threads into the lore books
This is my favorite lore channel, and I'm sorry to all the other lore channels. Your sense of humor delights me. Yes, my smoke detector batteries are good, the red blinky light tells me it's all good. Also, I will not be looking directly at the solar eclipse because unlike Kaeya and Fischl, I do not have protective eyepatches nor magical vision. I will tolerate this channel indefinitely and look forward to all the tinfoil hats.
Ok so, for the longest time I thought Kaeya's eyepatch was weird, because if it was actually hiding his pupil shape, that would make no sense because the other eye has it too. I figured if there was any significance to it and it wasn't just a normal blinded eye, that the eyepatch might have been sort of a misdirection, to make you think what's beneath it instead of thinking about the weird eye pupil he has on his other eye. But if he actually has a second, even weirder eyeball in there that makes it much more practical.
It’s been a HOT second since the last time genshin dropped something that compelled me to open a google document and jot down everything that came to my mind in that second, I swear to god I can’t believe they hid all this lore in a book many people might not even notice. Actually, thank you for pointing it out on twitter - I would have been completely clueless otherwise 🫡 Honestly I’ve lost all hope of reconciling the actual timeline of events with the legends, mostly because there is a LOT that especially in Liyue mythology just doesn’t fit. In this case in particular though I am inclined to believe that perinheri takes place sometime when the shift between the crimson moon and the eclipse dynasty happened, mostly because the story begins in “days [where] a crimson moon shone down upon the subterranean realm, and not the dark sun of latter days” and it later says that “Though the crimson moon set, and the dark sun descended into a yet darker dusk, that transcendental person […] never arrived”. It wouldn’t be a stretch to think that machinery wasn’t super advanced yet, and alchemy still was prevalent during that time; not that this makes the timeline any less wobbly, though. There is SO much that can be said about this book, it’s kinda insane. The callback to the Universitas Magistrorum that we saw in the “Achievement: Orbits” namecard, the one mentioning “two star having been captured by world’s gravity”? The fact that at some point at least one Alberich in history DID have horses? The references to the Orlando Innamorato/Furioso, a novel where THE MOON is seen as the big basement in the sky where all vanity, folly and dreams and ambitions end up - you know, ambitions? Those pesky little things that award people with visions? KARL INGOLD MENTIONED?? HI KARL!! I MISSED YOU!! All jokes (jokes?) aside, i was definitely shocked to see no mention of kaeya - until there was, of course, it CAN’T be a roozevelt video without a good dose of Kaeya conspiracy. And while YES, I do agree that has to be some sort of foreshadowing for Arlecchino’s origin story or whatever (I still hold on to the conviction that she cannot be human, not when you are rank 4 among all harbingers), I DO think that Perinheri's story has to do something with Kaeya. I really struggle to put my finger on it, I guess it’s mostly the overall themes of freedom (“I shall not bow to the will of fate. I am no pawn in heaven's plan”) and the very direct very clear parallel to the fact that neither Perinheri nor Kaeya are affected by the hilichurl curse. Angelica, though, it’s such a puzzling character in this story… this is where I really struggle to separate legends from facts; how much of what she says is real? If she is just an ideal of freedom, was her backstory needed at all? What is this implication that Morax quite literally caused freedom to run underground? Am I going insane? I might be going insane. I apologise for the ramble-y comment that barely touched upon any of the points you brought up in your video, but I do think you did a very good job connecting all the instances where a red moon was mentioned in game or outside - I completely forgot about the blurb on Dain’s profile, for example. The fact that the blood mon is not just a literal blood moon in the sky, but something that goes much deeper… I’m so curious to see how much more they will push this imagery. The next dain quest can’t come soon enough. EDIT: Also oh my god, extreme tinfoil moment: if perinheri and kaeya are supposed to be somewhat connected to eachother, and if your brilliant analysis on the bird motif is true, I wonder if it was actually purposeful to start Kaeya's hangout on him just hanging out with a bird (also his constellation being of a bird... actually, specifically the "Pavo ocellus", the 'eye' of the peacock that might be its actual eye or the many eyes on his tails; tails that are associated to elementalism and ley lines as the spantamad symbol suggest... I am not sure where I am trying to go with this, but man there is a lot of eye and birds related symbolism out there)
Is Arlecchino related to the crimson moon? Like, if we link the crimson moon to the three moons of teyvat, which are based on the moirai, it seems like it is the moon of death/destruction. Arlecchino has literaly a scythe and is called "Dire Balemoon". She has links to orphanages and that would explain why she is ranked bellow colimbina (who is teorized to be the shade of death). Idk, just feels like too much coincidence. We can even relate her other codename "The Knave", which is another word for "jack", which is one of the three figures in the deck of cards. Also in her ult we can see something like a moon behind her. Maybe I'm thinking too much of her... Great video btw
Another UA-cam theorist, My Name For Now, theorized that Arlecchino might have come through the crimson moon dynasty harth and viewed the crimson moon. He theorized that the Crimson Moon dynasty was searching for a descender, a golden star, and they would capture a lot of red dwarf stars, which is what Arlecchino was. Her motifs and eyes he theorized show she had gone through the Crimson Moon harth, and viewed the crimson moon and died and was reborn. Anyhow he explains it better in his video.
I think you’ve misread, they left the kingdom in a chase, meaning Perrin was after Angelica to probably try and kill her but leobrandt didn’t want that so he was also chasing them or maybe even ran with Angelica at first until he inevitably fell from the curse. I’m soooooo curious as to who Angelica was tho my first thought was “angel” so columbina?
You know, Fischl's name card mentions that Oz can block the sun with his wings. Also, she has a couple voice lines where she asks Oz to block the sun with his wings. Look at the golden raven emblem dropped by treasure hoarders, and notice how it's a raven blocking the sun with it's wings. Then take that emblem and put it next to the most refined deathly statuette. It's the same picture.
"The Sages think themselves to be all knowing, but we alone are wise to the virtue of those acts of folly" Does this imply that Pierro belonged to the Crimson Moon dynasty and the sages from the Eclipse one, the "acts of folly" being the heavy usage of forbidden knowledge (FB). Was he already aware of what FB was or what it could do, how the constitution of beings from Teyvat would not be able to properly process it. How old is he and why the fuck does he keep wearing a piece of a broken mask... Let me see that left eye Pierro, LET ME SEE THAT EYEBALL MR.KHAENRI'AHN ROYAL MAGE. Kaeya, Dainsleif and Pierro walk into a bar, Chlothar is the bartender and there is only Death in the Afternoon. Make it happen Mihoyo, i know John Hoyoverse is reading this 🧐
I love everything about this but also when you mentioned that Kaeya put “Father” in quotes, like Lyney and Lynette, I went “Huh that’s kinda funny that they both do that AND they’re spies tasked by said ‘Father’ I wonder if every nation is supposed to have crazy kaeya lore or kaeya parallels’
I think Perinheri could be the Abyss sibling because of drifting into Kaneria and from a destroyed world from the stare sky and the the travelers have a lot of star symbolism
Busted out laughing at the cut to Kaeya. Also, as nuts as it is, I think it's an incredibly fun and tasty theory that I would absolutely love to see bear out in reality. We have a precedent for characters being vessels, explicitly or in spirit, of entities we've encountered before--Nahida is the Rukkha of the new samsara, for example; Cyno is straight up possessed by Hermanubis (whatever that means) (there's probably a reason we got Perinheri now and we're getting his SQ2 with 4.6); and so on (I guess Kun Jun getting possessed by a fragment of Azhdaha's will counts??)
ngl I heard about Signalis and it sounds amazing but i think im too much of a coward to play it (im scared baby with survival horror games, which is funny because i love horror)
man im just worried about childe. "defying fate is the ultimate sin" bro has already tried fighting his constellation twice (the constellations literally representing fate btw), and plans to fight it a third time :,)
You know who else has red eyes and can probably see the unseen when normal humans can't? Sigewinne. By extension the Melusines could also have some version of the Eye of Condemnation. I know Siggy doesn't look like much but I've been intrigued by her cunning ever since Fontaine Act 4 and I think she's going to be another unexpected lore drop whenever she becomes playable.
this is my first time watching one of your videos... when you said Kaeya instead of Arlecchino, you had my grattitude. when you linked Kaeya to Irminsul, you got my sub 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Perinheri really has me doing a double take anytime moons and/or eyes are involved (as an Ei Stan, her eye of stormy judgment skill, her charged attack being designed after a crescent moon, and being the only archon so far who we have NO idea how she was created yet is giving me crazy brain worms even tho there’s probably nothing too crazy there)
Ooh very interesting video! I love the idea that Kaeya's "father" might actually be an Arle equivalent, and Kaeya an orphan. I've always thought that the last interaction with his father was incredibly odd. Him being a product of a Khaenri'an House of the Hearth might explain some things (like why he was sent as a "spy," implying he's gathering intelligence). I'm thrilled that you touched on the connections between Fischl and Kaeya because I've been so intrigued about the parallels between them for years! However, I'm definitely in the minority because I think Fischl isn't merely some plot-irrelevant cosplayer. The fact that Oz actually exists and is an entity with his own thoughts, personality, words, and voice (which, as far as I know, is not something any other Vision is capable of) is enough to convince me she has real power. Also, there's the fact that they made her playable in HI3, and the fact that her musical theme is shockingly similar to the Fatui Harbinger motif. (Also, I think the Mondstadt library is hiding some possibly-important secrets, and that's where Fischl got her Vision... but I digress.) In any case, Fischl and Kaeya have another connection imo: they are both thematically linked to performance. There are a few other characters who similarly share this theme of playing a role, notably Childe and Furina (with Childe and Kaeya both connected to the phrase "never-ending performance"). Fischl's island in the summer fantasia event was very clearly based on theater and playing roles. In the end, the conclusion to her story was this: "Please be proud of all that is unreal. For we are greater than this world! For our magnificent kingdom is a small and forbidden paradise!" There's so much to explore about the idea of stories, even ones that are objectively false, having the power to transform people and the world (a theme also touched upon in the Thelxie event). As for the dark tunnel in Perinheri, it's definitely suspicious that it's his first memory. It almost seems to me like a twisted version of birth--the birth canal replaced by something like an oven or chimney, which is filled with ash and ends with "death" instead of birth. Perhaps bringing a being into existence this way is something that would allow them to subvert / be free of fate?
ahh so many good points! I've drawn a looot of parallels between kaeya and fischl for a while, e.g. a lot of Eternal Return themes, amongst other things, but also the immernachtreich being a land of arts and performance and Kaeya foreshadowing Furina's "all the world's a stage"... so it's WAY beyond coincidence!! That's just one reason I make sure to listen to Fischl dialogue even if it's just for a cute cat-petting event lmao. I'm excited to see where they go with this!!
@@roozeveltfoxHer dialogue is always so intriguing, even in the silliest events! I couldn't help but notice how much she brought up images that evoke Remuria in the cat petting event. This line in particular is VERY interesting after watching the trailer (which shows that we will be led by a talking cat to Remuria, where we will fight a statue/golem): "Yes, statues! Forged in the image of cat familiars by melting the venerable coinage of lost dynasties and adorning them with strange pearls and dewdrops from the depths of a fjord." Hopefully we get a Fischl and Kaeya interaction in game some time--I think it would be fascinating.
The line about the khenriahns treating the ones who came from the oceans with honor because they thought that Gods come from Oceans is really weird when you consider the fact that khaenriah was a Godless nation and from what we get from Dainsleif might've been an antigod nation. The line from Dain's introduction..... Isn't it in the book but like in reverse. I think either A. The line in the book and Dainsleif's intro is an Allegory talking about something else OR B. They're both referring to two separate things. The line in the book is referring to the Dynasty and the line from the book is referring to the actual Crimson moon AKA the eye of judgement. Hmm.... What if the Crimson Moon Dynasty was named after the Eye of Judgement, I think it was said the Khaenriah is somewhat close to Irminsul is it not? So they could in theory watch and know everything and be or atleast try to be the one's who judge the world. It would be hella ironic if that's the case. I don't think Irmin is the eye of judgement because why would he destroy his own kingdom and the fact that khaenriah fell to the Gods. Judgement would not just ignore the anhilation of a nation as just would it? If u were to believe Angelica's claim of being a Gods follower who was DESTROYED by Morax then I think she might be the follower of the Evil God who had imprisoned Xiao and the yakshas simply because of what happened to Hleobrant. He went mad got really aggressive and turned into a monster (even if the reasons were different ) the symptoms are pretty much the same. The Arlacheno connections are dubious at best because she might be the head of the house of the hearth but she isn't the one who created it or even it's first head there gave probably been a few dozen heads already depending on how long the house has been functioning, the name could've even come from Piero himself. If we don't go into specifics then the Kaeya's idea works because Osayeil had 5 heads I think if those were his heads
Ive been thinking if the Sinner is going to be similar to Angelica in the sense that he himseld (assumingly) is going to be representetive of a concept of... well.... Sin, compared to Angelicas 'Freedom'. You also point out that Angelicas claim of being from a nation dubious, im still skeptical and to some extent I think it might be a red herring. I think its a good point to raise, but I wonder whats the relevance of bringing up Zhongli in the first place. On the crimson moon, yeah, Asmodays cubes def feel strongly tied towards it, although i also think this is a bit of traveller lore because of them purifying durins 'Crimson Tear'. Tear... Crimson...Eyeballs.... great vid tho keep up the great work!
7:12 For this, Morax was a god killer before he became Archon. It's also possible he already made a contract to protect some mortals, just not yet a contract with Ghuizong, and this is why he was said war god.
speaking of solar eclipses, in ancient chinese mythology they supposedly occurs when a celestial dragon devours the sun! and yeah i think that dragon is nibelung! and then i don’t really think it’s too far off to equate the sun to the crimson moon + also maybe this is why the melusine sluasi describes the sun as black? BECAUSE YKNOW mr “father of melusines” elynas is a dragon (rhinedottir edition) soooooo…….. yeah :] idk where i’m going with this but the POSSIBILITIES ARGGGHHHHH (side note: i think korean and vietnamese mythology have similar myths with dogs and frogs, respectively, but THE dragon nibelung???? it’s too good)

Edit: CC subtitles are up!
Any retrospective notes, comments, etc, will go here.
- Some people have noted that Perinheri's pronouns change in different languages. I have checked this and this is ONLY true for Chinese TRADITIONAL. Not even Chinese simplified. I usually try to check for any language discrepancies in CHS, not CHT. Also, the pronoun change ALSO applies to the line with the king addressing the advisor - so it's not unique to Perinheri. Because of these observations I'm inclined to think this was more of an error or unintentional (or the developers had different ideas originally, and it was not fixed for the update).
9/10 needs more tin foil.
I've been told that they actually did change the pronouns thing from beta to the official version. Apparently in the beta the genders used to match the Abyss twin, but now they match the Traveler. I've no idea how trustworthy this info is though.
Also, another weird thing: Perinheri's gender only changes whenever he is directly spoken to: the 'you' is changing. Any other time he is referred to as, well, 'he'.
The Sage on the other hand isn't referred to by any gendered pronouns outside of the 'you' instance, so their actual gender is unclear
Kaeya's grandfather fought an 8 headed hydra = 8 pointed star of KHR, as in rebellion?
Then a silver-haired banshee makes me think of Paimon, for some reason.
Silveris the color of the moon, after all.
You lost your bet that Kaeyas eye is Red. I just checked and its black-bronze and looks mechanical.
My 20 Dollars please. ^^
@@_dragonflies_I've read a different version of this on the lore subreddit.
They said that the traditional chinese text for 4.5 was full of mistakes and sloppy for the patch as a whole. And that it did seem like the text was generated automatically from simplified chinese using some kind of automated tool. Such as replacing every 'you' so it matches the traveler without actually checking if the 'you' was referring to the traveler at all.
I didn't save the link so I hope I'm not misremembering.

shit is real, you explain well how genshin patches works
its a cycle between lore update patch > map expansion > archon quest and repeat

i love how perinheri just came out of nowhere in one of the most filler patches ever
We need brain stimulation on this filler patch or else were gonna go crazy.
Sacrifices were made.
I literally looked a guide to get the fontaine achievement collecting all the books, and just bought perinheri without looking at it or anything, only to see theory videos talking about it like the greatest lore drop in a while. It’s just funny cuz I never visited the fontaine book guy and the one time that I finally did, it happened to be when perinheri was added
I have a theory it was put there as a sneak peek for the next update, a way to introduce the ideas so it's a bit easier to get the significance of certain things
I wish they did it more there’s literally no reason for them not to be able to write a few pages every patch, y’all only get story content like twice a month anyways and it’s mid asf unless it’s a .0 patch
Us next time we see Kaeya: what do you know about the Crimson Moon Dynasty?
Kaeya: nooo don’t ask me about the history of my homeland’s monarchy and changes that happened across centuries that puts my seemingly normal existence into renewed question traveller youre soo sexy aha let’s talk about wine instead
Dang it Kaeya stop dodging the darn questions, we need ANSWERS! And for that matter 'calvary captain' where the heck is your horse?
@@loveunityandpeacekaeya rifthorse era when
@@loveunityandpeace Varka left with them all
It however doesn't explain why he took the cavalry and left the captain 😭
Hol Up, Khaenri'ah is a dead nation right? and kaeya is basically a spy from that nation so wouldn't that mean that khaneriah is still sort of alive working underground or it it that kaeya is just really that OLD.
@margaritasauce4235 not necessarily. There are the Khaenrians who were afflicted with the immortality curse. The nation itself may have fallen, but there could still be remnants composed of people who haven't lost themselves to the curse yet. Kaeya is likely descended from some of those people.
Elynas was a creature that originally came from what can only be assumed to be this "sea of stars". Rhinedottir transformed him, an abyss creature, into an entity that can exist in Teyvat. If Perinheri was "created" by the Khaenriahns as an artificial person, then it could make thematic sense. The difference here is Elynas knew he originated from the abyss, while Perinheri's first memory was his trial as a child. Either way, this book reinforced my believe that the abyss, aka sea of stars, is actually space, where aliens and spaceships alike can get to Khaenriah but cannot get to Teyvat directly.
It's funny because, in the part where you mentioned Kaeya, I noticed something peculiar. Moonstad is a place where many Orphan children come. First there is Razor who was adopted by the Spirit of a God. Then there is Bennett who was found by some explorers. Then there is Rosaria who was abandoned and raised by thieves. I don't know if I consider Albedo an Orphan but basically he is a foreigner who arrived in those lands with Alice and Klee. Then there is Kaeya who was left there by his father. And if we take into account the traveler... Is Moonstad a kind of parallel to the orphanage mentioned in the book?🤔🤔
I've been thinking lately about how much thematic weight mondstat's characters hold compared to every other region.
Also Diluc. This really seems to be a pattern. Kinda reminds me of the anemo and death correlations again…
also funny that Mondstadt means "moon city" and even has the biggest hilichurl tribes in dadaupa gorge, one which is the Eclipse Tribe...
WAIT... WAIT... FUCK DUDE
Not to mention Mondstadt means Moon City.
That end bit with Kaeya... SAME.
And it actually recontextualizes what his 'Father' had told him last:
"You are our last hope."
With this theory, it stands to reason that Kaeya is their last hope of breaking the shackles of Fate. Even now for those who weren't cursed or killed during the Cataclysm, they're still yearning for Freedom. Hence why he's left In Mondstadt of all places.
I have a different interpretation of why Perinheri can't remember before that fire. The description of that tunnel is strange. He says it's like it was made for children, there is no other entrance, yet he's on the far end of it when his memory begins, there is coal ash everywhere and specifically 'there are no cobwebs'. They asked 'did you die' because he did. He burned in the fire, and using some kind of alchemical magic he was brought back as a 'glitch' or 'error code'. Like they forced a rebirth in the same samsara, which makes him no longer connected to any past gods, and no longer a child of the world. This is similar in the way that delusions seem to be messing with or burning up your future/future lives. Arlecchino most likely also went through this process.
Very interesting.
Cater was truly soft-launching the concept of whatever the hell they did to Arlecchino
Another theory I've read, is that Perinheri was a Hilichurl before, but the magic of that tunnel managed to reverse the transformation.

Just wait and see
The sheer joy roozevelt has for talking our ears off about Kaeya is something I wish I had
I'm just a simple girl, thinking about a character who also:
has red (ish) eyes
is an orphan with unknown lineage
was cared for by a seemingly very important and misterious figure of authority
is bonded, through adoption, to someone who fights the good fight against rift wolves
whose destiny is marked by revelations, Sin and Divine Retribution in the stars/constellation
is tied to Mondstadt
That's right! I'm talking about Rosaria once more!
OK BUT ACTUALLY ???!!!
AND WRIOTHESLEY! same cryo vision begotten after killing off an abusive parental figure, atheism, not really caring about visions and the heavens, similar history of childhood violence and even colour scheme, constellation is cerberus(?), like the heart of naberius found by R and Albedo???
@@Mishri2005It’s a recurring theme. All these things also apply to Diluc.
Oh why did I think Razor lol
What if Rosaria is King irmin?🤔🤔🤔
Why does everything that starts with "In Liyue ,once there was a god/king/demon" and ends with "killed by Rex Lapis/Morax/Deus Auri"?
Zhongli definetely knows more things, also his "dragon" skin used in the hoax...
Zong do kill alot of things
He lived so long, even if he just kills one thing every few hundred years, he ends up killing lots a things...😅 But he admittedly knows lots. Probably everything we want to know. It's just that he made a contract not to speak of .... Well... Most of it, it seems.
I just want to know what will happen when Neuvillette brings judgement upon him... That will be a long trial.... (Although judgement doesn't necessarily mean punishment at the end...)
I honestly would not be surprised if Kaeya has already given us all the spoilers in the game.
About final section of the video - what if Irmin isn’t Crimson Moon, but just his eye is? In myths Odin gave away his eye for wisdom. What if this was some sort of a deal - Irmin gets knowledge and as an exchange whatever has that knowledge gets to use his eye
(yeah I am still strong on my Crimson Moon is Honkai theory)
It reminds me of Cocoon of Finality thing...@@netzilore
whenever I miss Kaeya, I'll revisit your videos
This book is seriously driving me crazy. Of course there is the probable arlechino connection but we should also not forget that we’re due for a dain quest
OH one more thing, obviously theres some connections we already know about the curse of the wilderness but i think we should especially rethink about Clothars child specifically saying he felt like he was stuck in a small black room or something.
I feel like this might be relevant and connected to like the chimney and stuff.
He literally then asks "am i dead" LIKE BRO....
HMMMMMM VERY INTERESTING POINT
@@roozeveltfox LITERALLY, perinheri has literally been spinning in my head especially after watching cariberts quest again
Me not being able to sleep and watching my 3rd perinheri video this week. Why the hell not 😅
Me: anticipating Venti during the Arle bit
You: Kaeya ❤💙
No but the part about Perinheri, Angelique and freedom made me think about the fact that Venti became the God of Freedom around the same time period and now this book has given me my 10 headache because the more I read and watch vids about it, the more interesting it seems
Just saw this comment as well as the one made by @yaririscapellan4874 , and it has led me down the crack theory rabbit hole that perhaps Venti had something to do with their desires for freedom/attainment of it. In the Gliding Manual cutscene from the Mond Archon Quest, it talks about how 'birds that wanted to fly asked the Anemo God for help'. In response, he helped them realize that they needed courage in order to obtain their desire. Mind you this is pry just meant to give courage to people learning to glide, and could be seen as a double entendre for the people of Mondstadt to gain the courage to fight for their freedom, but who said it has to stop there? Anyway, when the bird imagery was used around the 23:00 mark, I too gained a headache much like your own lmao.
also the curse of the wilderness is so insane because if betrayal of the gods turns one into hilichurls, i am reminded of the BSaM line about the early humans signing a covenant with the PO, and how Deus Auri is all about contracts and betrayal of contracts will be punished in this land where gods walked (summit shaper). Prithiva Topaz talking about mora being symbolic of morax's blood (hey eucharist myth) coupled with citrinitas and golden mora being at the core of the quid pro quo of any contract that made liyue the flourishing harbour it is today...I digress for now
HOWEVER the hilichurl cultural customs book talks about a tribe in dadaupa gorge (called the Eclipse tribe btw) that worships an eclipsed sun.interestingly, the TRAVELLER has a voiceline about the eclipse tribe, where paimon asks the traveller why they are pondering about the eclipse symbol used by the hilichurl tribe, and we CHANGE the subject.
The traveler has a voiceline about eclipse tribe??? Welp time to visit their profile page again
@@readonlymemoriesIt’s notable that this line was available from launch, which means it predates “We Will Be Reunited”. It was basically foreshadowing that the Traveler knew about Khaenri’ah from the beginning, but just hadn’t said anything until then.
That little fact is why we shouldn’t make too many assumptions about the Traveler. They know more than we do about a lot of stuff. I also find it very interesting how the Traveler will often get rid of Paimon somehow before talking about specific subjects. While they may be our point of view character, they are still very mysterious.
the main difference between any old coin and Mora being the fact Mora is an alchemycal catalyst is so interesting to me. Not to mention the triquetra which brings it full circle back to talks about the PO. Morax being name dropped in Perinheri is deffo not just a coincidence.
11:25 crimson moon is also depicted weirdly enough in the solar pearl description
>Just as Kunwu finished polishing the Solar Pearl, the splendor of the heavens shone down and a crimson moon filled the sky.
But did this phenomenon mean that Kunwu had indeed received divine assistance in his craft? Or was it a measure of his own accomplishment that his lofty ambitions had sufficed to send waves through the firmament and even elicit a response from the heavenly bodies?
Wow Perinheri, the book, as an allegory about how only a being coming from the abyss can escape from the shackles of fate, is not why I envisioned starting my day with.
This makes Venti look so suspicious, though. How can he, a Heavenly Principles contracted God, be the representation of Freedom? He doesn't have a Vision, so he can't be tied to the fate of this world or something along those lines, in René's words. Maybe his famous "What is freedom if demanded by a God" line doesn't refer to himself and his people, but the heavenly principles and their subjects.
Angelica gives me the creeps. At first, I thought she was some kind of Hexenzirkel witch or a Visionary of some kind. Now, she could be an allegory within an allegory and represent from the Heavenly Principles to the Old Order of the world. Perhaps a heavenly envoy, a Seelie, Istaroth herself or just a fragment of hers, a close follower of an unknown God-King... But why name-drop Deus Auri in all of this, WHAT DO YOU KNOW MORAX??!!
Zhongli doesn't have a vision but he is clearly tied to the fate of this world.
Most obvious candidate for Angelica is someone from Sal Terrae
20:05 OKAY BUT the weird EYE in a four-pointed STAR on the board??? jesus this creeped me out so much
everyone making theories about kaeya
meanwhile Pierro who not only has a covered eye, tear symbolism, knew whatever the Khaenri'ahns did will bring destruction, and never even speaks like a normal human being
Pierro is like my fav so trust im just waiting for the tiniest new crumb about him. i will be unhinged and unstoppable
This was such a good video!!
Also ik its just a silly theory but your notes abt Kaeya maybe being from the orphanage and the ppl there being connected to the sea symbolism due to the abyss... it reminded me that during Kaeya's hangout when he talks to Venti, they are both metaphorically referring to Kaeya as someone who is in a boat, in a rumultuous sea, sailing towards the dawn with the wind as a guide... it feels rlly sus now...
I just aaaa rlly recommend revisiting that interaction again haha
I came back here because of the recent leak
Knave talking about the Crimson Moon Bloodline is crazy. and she also talked about the moon being a eye gazing down upon the mortal plane.
where did she talk about thiisss i wanna know her lore so bad
@wistgljlmaibmhtlywthmtgthm on her character level you can also find videos about it here on youtube
9:35 That gate behind Kaeya leads to the abyss... and it's near Mondstadt and Snezhnaya... i remember Varka saying that Mondstadt and Snezhnaya both have a common enemy, and that's why he is on an expedition. I think we could get a map expansion near the Abyss gate since Dornman port is also close to that area too
It’s interesting to note that Kaenri’ah has star eyes. Looking back from Arlecchino/Peruere’s origins, her ancestors must have made a pact with the Crimson Moon, morphing their eyes to Crimson X’s as a sign that they made a pact with an entity.
Which is why Arlecchino has X’s in her pupils, stating that she is a direct descendant from that blood lineage.
Kaeya could be older than he looks - he could have been literally "frozen in time" ala Faruzan or Diona's ancestor in the Cryo Regusvine
NEW ROOSEVELT VIDEO JUST DROPPED WOOOOH ❤
watching this made me recall an achievement in sumeru desert called "la luna rossa", you get it for completing the chessboard at safhe shatranji and it says "across this vast chessboard, what horrors have been enacted under the light of blood-red moon?" and i think it might be related to this so i thought i share it with you guys good video btw

Arlecchino lore theories: I slep
KAEYA lore theories: 🤩🤩🤩
I just realized something. If you look really closely at the cover of Perinheri, if you study the eye closely, you'll realize that it's not the eye of someone from Khaenri'ah. The most destiguishible thing about people from Khaenri'ah, besides their flashy clothes, is the pupils of their eyes. I don't know if this is a stylistic choice or if it means that, whoever is crying, is a character in the book that isn't from Khaenri'ah. If Perinheri isn't cursed for leaving, then that could mean that he, himself, isn't genetically Khaenri'an or he has something in his blood that Kaeya might have as well that keeps him from being cursed.
Okay, you mention about King Irmin being THE crimson moon, but I really thought about it and while you said it as a joke, you might not be too far off even metaphorically speaking.
When I saw that image you put on the screen, the first thing I thought of was the "Dwarf in the Flask" (or "Father") from Fullmetal Alchemist. (He was also called "homunculus," but I won't call him that because there were a lot of those and they'll come up as I'm writing this.) "Father" was a being created by an ancient people who studied alchemy and created him, a being with even greater knowledge on the subject. They kept him in a flask to gather his knowledge. All he really was was a small black cloud with a single eye. He became more powerful by killing most of the people of that ancient civilization, giving him enough power to take a human form and make him and his friend, a slave of the people in this civilization, into immortal beings/breathing philosopher stones. He then created seven homonculus from himself with human forms, each one one of the traditional deadly sins. His goal was to become the perfect being and to do that, he tried to fuse and become one with God. However, God did not join him and, in his own words, he had to pay a "steep price" for "playing God."
With this in mind, I wonder if the story of the "Dwarf in the Flask" is anything like Irmin's. Considering both Khaenri'ah and FMA are stories about alchemy and the act of playing God, I honestly wouldn't be surprised.
Note that distinctive eyes are characteristic of their aristocracy - people like Alberich clan and Dainsleif. Common folk who risk hilichurlification had ordinary eyes.
30:30 “Silver-haired banshee” is Arlecchino. Signora has blonde hair
I LOVE YOU FOR THIS. yes. THIS IS PERFECT! PRINCE KAEYA LIVES ON!!! THERE IS HOPE!!!
So that would make the Crimson Moon the third Fate, the one that snips the thread of life. Based on how the eye looks horrified maybe it doesn't like its job of ending mortal lives, or maybe doesn't like that it's ordered to _not_ end mortal lives i.e. inflict the curse of immortality upon those who defy Fate. Ooorrr, maybe it's horrified because as one that can see all Truth, it can _see_ when a mortal is escaping Fate, but can't do anything about it, knowing that by crawling through the hearth away from its reach of death, the mortal in question is cursing itself to immortality, and because the Crimson Moon knows that is a terrible curse, it cries.
i love MOTHER roozeveltfox whispers crack theoy in my ear at night, so i can dream about the foundings of khaenri'ah and maybe get to see my dad in there too (kaeya)
i have a theory that my silly goofy brain made before i got meds:
kaeyas name is very close to calla - calla lilies. theyre only found in mondstadt, near water, BUT they only appear on more of the eastern side of mondstadt (somehow they dont spawn in stormterrors lair)
its suspicious that kaeya is seemingly so young if hes from khanrieah and was able to grow up like a regular person, its also mentioned that he was found nearby dawn winery... and where is dawn winery? near a lake!
he also has some werid connections to both sumeru and mondstadt itself - almost as if he was blessed by barbatos and rukkadevata before she died, we know she didnt participate in the destruction of khanrieah BUT she may had dipped her fingers into the matter
its also odd that we find more people from k'hanrieah or related to k'hanriean near chasm like for example sumeru...
my weird brain conclusion goes like this: rukkadevata somehow saved some of k'hanrieah people using her powers, causing to almost destroy irminsul and killing herself (as we know, the "forbidden knowledge" might just be the bane existence of k'hanrieah or the art of khemia)
AND, some reaching and adhd unmedicated mind is needed here BUT - kaeya mightve been turned into a calla lilly, and protected by barbatos for 500 years - enough time for people to forget about the importance of the last name "alberich"
that would also be why kaeya was found out of nowhere, like as if he spawned there!
ALSO (but this is just my imagination) i feel like we will get someone upcoming that will be some form of a royal family guardian that will recognise kaeya (maybe someone that was locked in celestia? maybe knows skirk closer? MAYBE will tell us more about who the heavenly principles are and what happened there? some paimon lore?)
thx for reading the rant lmao
31:16 reminding me of my baseless idea that that popped into my head for a fic that I would never write that Kaeya is a clone of Irmin lol.
ngl i had a similar idea a while ago solely based on some random Tears of Themis lore that made me wonder this as well lololol (WRITE THE FIC)
@@roozeveltfox i really need to get back into Tears of Themis. Also unfortunately I don’t have the writing skills to write such a fic at this point (I have none🥲) but maybe after I get better after working on smaller projects I’ll give it a go.
oh yeah and like kaeya not being full blooded but not turning into a hillichurl... the last hope being something related to the fact he is somewhat immune to the curse,
i wonder if ‘alberich’ was the surname assigned to khaenri’ah’s orphans - like how house of the hearthers are all surnamed ‘snezhevich’ or ‘snezhevna’. could also explain why kaeya talks about his “father” in hidden strife?
And after doing The Knaves Story quest & Boss fight this theory sounds very Interesting
The section about a new kind of wild birds unchained from fate being created really reminds me of the story of barbartos teaching the first birds to fly, It makes me wonder if there were any venti shenanigans going on way back in khaenriah :D
Ah a great theory vid for my birthday! Perinheri is truly mindbreaking and I'm obsessed with it. Hope that with the release of Arlecchino the info from the book gets referenced and explained more in depth.
Got to the kaeya part: I'm taking this as fact now. Nothing else matters Kaeya is Genshin Impact

The first one... is really hard to do for an English speaker. But "nackt" (what you pronounced) means "naked" and "Nacht" means "night".
Also, it should be stressed on the first syllable if you want to be correct. IMmernachtreich.
It's just... as a German, Fischl pronunciations rub me the wrong way. 😅
(I do say Monstatt though, not Mond shtutt, because Stadt means town and Mondstadt is a region and it would confuse me).
LMAAAOOO damn. well in my defense(?) english is my native language and i cant even speak english right ahahaaaa
thanks for the tips tho, i won't trust the google translate voice as much as an instructor 😭
@@roozeveltfox No need to defend youself, pronouncing foreign languages is hard.
Google Translate voice does a pretty good job with German though. You can trust it.
And, lets be honest, the realm of everlasting nakedness is a meme by now. 😂😂
This was a very interesting video btw. I loved it, especially the Kaeya rant at the end. 🥰
@@mendelynn thanks!! and i agree, the realm of everlasting nakedness is too good 😂
i think the devs said that Fischl's mispronunciation is on purpose lol cause shes just role playing and don't really know how to properly pronounce it😆
@@rrora. I know that it’s on purpose!!! And I love that fact. But I worry that some people might think that the words are actually pronounced that way way. “Mein Fräulein” for example makes me feel uncomfortable in a special place I didn’t know existed. I can’t listen to Oz.
Damn, who if not Odinn should represent the concept of fate, dude lives knowing how he will die
I always love your videos. Even if kaeya=irmin doesn't amount to much, it's hella fun to consider.
The Kaeya theory is exactly in line with some of the things I've speculated myself! So cool to see it all get tied together in this way ahh
I like how genshin has a character cosplaying a very powerful being
My favourite part of the video was 28:33 when she said _"It's Kaeya time!"_ and then she Kaeya'd all over those guys.
What if this whole time we thought keaya’s “real father” was a man, but he’s actually just been an orphan from the house of the hearth this whole time, and the previous knave put him in mondstat as a sleeper agent.
See, with the 4.7 update and caribert quest, an interesting detail has come to my attention:
Caribert Alberich is a half-blood since his mother does not hail from Kaenri'ah hence him turning into a hillichurl after the cataclysm. Despite that fact, when we saw him under Human traits, he sported the same pupils as full blooded Kaenri'an ( primo pupils being more prominent and the color of his eyes peeking through it kind of like a window.).
Kaeya is theorised to be half sumerian which would have explained his smaller pupil and how its coloured black like a normal one.
Now thinking back to something Albedo said in the event shadows amidst the storm: "To create artificial life, one needs to infuse it with life energy, at the end it gets sealed in with an alchemical substance that spreads into a 4-point star/diamond shape." Your feeling that Kaeya might have alchemical origins( or at least been through genetic modifications) seems plausible. That would be true for every other kaenri'ans as well ! Similar to how the people of the Xianzhou Luofu have been rendered practically immortal thanks to alchemical experiences done on their ancestors in Honkai Star Rail !
What do you make of this? Am I being delulu or is there a hint of truelulu?
ooo.... that's an interesting point re: the pontil mark. I think the only (minor) thing is that Caribert said his image was created based on his father's, so that may be one kink in that. Although... Caribert would have known what his own eyes looked like pre-hilichurlification, right....
I also thought it was interesting how they gave him blueish hair and a single blue earring - which obvs reminded me of Kaeya - but at the same time it really emphasizes how SO different they look, despite current thoughts they're both halfbloods.
tbh I'm gonna go with truelulu (but if it's delulu, I'm still down with it lmao)
don't post genshin theories at 3 AM 💀(gone CRACK)
TRY TO STOP ME!! YOU CANT!! AHAAH
congrats on achieving the irmin-kaeya dimensional merge
yet another classic roozevelt banger, what a great video
reading the books I was immediately intrigued by the arle connections more than anything, but I'm always so impressed by how well the writers manage to tie multiple threads into the lore books
A nice glass of wine and theories make my night. Thank you for your amazing theories!
This is my favorite lore channel, and I'm sorry to all the other lore channels. Your sense of humor delights me. Yes, my smoke detector batteries are good, the red blinky light tells me it's all good. Also, I will not be looking directly at the solar eclipse because unlike Kaeya and Fischl, I do not have protective eyepatches nor magical vision. I will tolerate this channel indefinitely and look forward to all the tinfoil hats.
18:51 love the reference sm, good going!
Ok so, for the longest time I thought Kaeya's eyepatch was weird, because if it was actually hiding his pupil shape, that would make no sense because the other eye has it too. I figured if there was any significance to it and it wasn't just a normal blinded eye, that the eyepatch might have been sort of a misdirection, to make you think what's beneath it instead of thinking about the weird eye pupil he has on his other eye. But if he actually has a second, even weirder eyeball in there that makes it much more practical.
It seems like Perinheri is the abyss sibling, and Hleobrant is probably Dainsleiff.
Deus Auri strikes again. He was such a monster in Archon War.
It’s been a HOT second since the last time genshin dropped something that compelled me to open a google document and jot down everything that came to my mind in that second, I swear to god I can’t believe they hid all this lore in a book many people might not even notice. Actually, thank you for pointing it out on twitter - I would have been completely clueless otherwise 🫡
Honestly I’ve lost all hope of reconciling the actual timeline of events with the legends, mostly because there is a LOT that especially in Liyue mythology just doesn’t fit. In this case in particular though I am inclined to believe that perinheri takes place sometime when the shift between the crimson moon and the eclipse dynasty happened, mostly because the story begins in “days [where] a crimson moon shone down upon the subterranean realm, and not the dark sun of latter days” and it later says that “Though the crimson moon set, and the dark sun descended into a yet darker dusk, that transcendental person […] never arrived”. It wouldn’t be a stretch to think that machinery wasn’t super advanced yet, and alchemy still was prevalent during that time; not that this makes the timeline any less wobbly, though.
There is SO much that can be said about this book, it’s kinda insane. The callback to the Universitas Magistrorum that we saw in the “Achievement: Orbits” namecard, the one mentioning “two star having been captured by world’s gravity”? The fact that at some point at least one Alberich in history DID have horses? The references to the Orlando Innamorato/Furioso, a novel where THE MOON is seen as the big basement in the sky where all vanity, folly and dreams and ambitions end up - you know, ambitions? Those pesky little things that award people with visions? KARL INGOLD MENTIONED?? HI KARL!! I MISSED YOU!!
All jokes (jokes?) aside, i was definitely shocked to see no mention of kaeya - until there was, of course, it CAN’T be a roozevelt video without a good dose of Kaeya conspiracy. And while YES, I do agree that has to be some sort of foreshadowing for Arlecchino’s origin story or whatever (I still hold on to the conviction that she cannot be human, not when you are rank 4 among all harbingers), I DO think that Perinheri's story has to do something with Kaeya. I really struggle to put my finger on it, I guess it’s mostly the overall themes of freedom (“I shall not bow to the will of fate. I am no pawn in heaven's plan”) and the very direct very clear parallel to the fact that neither Perinheri nor Kaeya are affected by the hilichurl curse. Angelica, though, it’s such a puzzling character in this story… this is where I really struggle to separate legends from facts; how much of what she says is real? If she is just an ideal of freedom, was her backstory needed at all? What is this implication that Morax quite literally caused freedom to run underground? Am I going insane? I might be going insane.
I apologise for the ramble-y comment that barely touched upon any of the points you brought up in your video, but I do think you did a very good job connecting all the instances where a red moon was mentioned in game or outside - I completely forgot about the blurb on Dain’s profile, for example. The fact that the blood mon is not just a literal blood moon in the sky, but something that goes much deeper… I’m so curious to see how much more they will push this imagery. The next dain quest can’t come soon enough.
EDIT: Also oh my god, extreme tinfoil moment: if perinheri and kaeya are supposed to be somewhat connected to eachother, and if your brilliant analysis on the bird motif is true, I wonder if it was actually purposeful to start Kaeya's hangout on him just hanging out with a bird (also his constellation being of a bird... actually, specifically the "Pavo ocellus", the 'eye' of the peacock that might be its actual eye or the many eyes on his tails; tails that are associated to elementalism and ley lines as the spantamad symbol suggest... I am not sure where I am trying to go with this, but man there is a lot of eye and birds related symbolism out there)
Is Arlecchino related to the crimson moon? Like, if we link the crimson moon to the three moons of teyvat, which are based on the moirai, it seems like it is the moon of death/destruction. Arlecchino has literaly a scythe and is called "Dire Balemoon". She has links to orphanages and that would explain why she is ranked bellow colimbina (who is teorized to be the shade of death). Idk, just feels like too much coincidence. We can even relate her other codename "The Knave", which is another word for "jack", which is one of the three figures in the deck of cards. Also in her ult we can see something like a moon behind her. Maybe I'm thinking too much of her... Great video btw
Another UA-cam theorist, My Name For Now, theorized that Arlecchino might have come through the crimson moon dynasty harth and viewed the crimson moon. He theorized that the Crimson Moon dynasty was searching for a descender, a golden star, and they would capture a lot of red dwarf stars, which is what Arlecchino was. Her motifs and eyes he theorized show she had gone through the Crimson Moon harth, and viewed the crimson moon and died and was reborn. Anyhow he explains it better in his video.
"I" see you
Rooze is back - just in time for the madness
I think you’ve misread, they left the kingdom in a chase, meaning Perrin was after Angelica to probably try and kill her but leobrandt didn’t want that so he was also chasing them or maybe even ran with Angelica at first until he inevitably fell from the curse. I’m soooooo curious as to who Angelica was tho my first thought was “angel” so columbina?
I just want to add that Traveler can use the Elemental Sight, the icon is.... A four pointed eye. Dunno what this means but seems fitting lol
You know, Fischl's name card mentions that Oz can block the sun with his wings. Also, she has a couple voice lines where she asks Oz to block the sun with his wings.
Look at the golden raven emblem dropped by treasure hoarders, and notice how it's a raven blocking the sun with it's wings. Then take that emblem and put it next to the most refined deathly statuette. It's the same picture.
I don't see much similarities between them, except for the single red eye.
"The Sages think themselves to be all knowing, but we alone are wise to the virtue of those acts of folly"
Does this imply that Pierro belonged to the Crimson Moon dynasty and the sages from the Eclipse one, the "acts of folly" being the heavy usage of forbidden knowledge (FB). Was he already aware of what FB was or what it could do, how the constitution of beings from Teyvat would not be able to properly process it. How old is he and why the fuck does he keep wearing a piece of a broken mask... Let me see that left eye Pierro, LET ME SEE THAT EYEBALL MR.KHAENRI'AHN ROYAL MAGE.
Kaeya, Dainsleif and Pierro walk into a bar, Chlothar is the bartender and there is only Death in the Afternoon. Make it happen Mihoyo, i know John Hoyoverse is reading this 🧐
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO SINCE THE BOOK CAME OUT. been stanning since the shattered halberd analysis thank u for the food
I'm so here for that Kaeya theory oooh boy I feel like you're definitely onto something
I love everything about this but also when you mentioned that Kaeya put “Father” in quotes, like Lyney and Lynette, I went “Huh that’s kinda funny that they both do that AND they’re spies tasked by said ‘Father’ I wonder if every nation is supposed to have crazy kaeya lore or kaeya parallels’
I think Perinheri could be the Abyss sibling because of drifting into Kaneria and from a destroyed world from the stare sky and the the travelers have a lot of star symbolism
Busted out laughing at the cut to Kaeya. Also, as nuts as it is, I think it's an incredibly fun and tasty theory that I would absolutely love to see bear out in reality. We have a precedent for characters being vessels, explicitly or in spirit, of entities we've encountered before--Nahida is the Rukkha of the new samsara, for example; Cyno is straight up possessed by Hermanubis (whatever that means) (there's probably a reason we got Perinheri now and we're getting his SQ2 with 4.6); and so on (I guess Kun Jun getting possessed by a fragment of Azhdaha's will counts??)
Haven't watched the video but I know it will be about Kaeya
Oh my. This game is a bookworms dream. It has so much lore, tales, and mysteries.
I mean the last part does make sense since peacocks are also alchemical symbols and that's Kaeya's constellation
'that's a weird first memory, right?'
cue: 30 clips of albedo in the background
That big red eye reminded me of Signalis
iykyk
ngl I heard about Signalis and it sounds amazing but i think im too much of a coward to play it (im scared baby with survival horror games, which is funny because i love horror)
Stargate... Actually, what is the spiral abyss gate if not stargate, huh?
man im just worried about childe. "defying fate is the ultimate sin" bro has already tried fighting his constellation twice (the constellations literally representing fate btw), and plans to fight it a third time :,)
You know who else has red eyes and can probably see the unseen when normal humans can't? Sigewinne. By extension the Melusines could also have some version of the Eye of Condemnation.
I know Siggy doesn't look like much but I've been intrigued by her cunning ever since Fontaine Act 4 and I think she's going to be another unexpected lore drop whenever she becomes playable.
NO WAIT ONG IM CONVINCED. KAEYA KING IRMIN VESSEL CONFIRMED
thanks for inviting me to your TED talk, i liked it loads. Only improvement would be to serve refreshments.
this is my first time watching one of your videos...
when you said Kaeya instead of Arlecchino, you had my grattitude.
when you linked Kaeya to Irminsul, you got my sub 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Mitternachts Waltz definitely has one of the weapon descriptions of all time.
Perinheri really has me doing a double take anytime moons and/or eyes are involved (as an Ei Stan, her eye of stormy judgment skill, her charged attack being designed after a crescent moon, and being the only archon so far who we have NO idea how she was created yet is giving me crazy brain worms even tho there’s probably nothing too crazy there)
Well now we know who Perinheri really is
I'm Really happy that find your Channel XD
U addicted to Kaeya just like ME!!!!
Ooh very interesting video! I love the idea that Kaeya's "father" might actually be an Arle equivalent, and Kaeya an orphan. I've always thought that the last interaction with his father was incredibly odd. Him being a product of a Khaenri'an House of the Hearth might explain some things (like why he was sent as a "spy," implying he's gathering intelligence).
I'm thrilled that you touched on the connections between Fischl and Kaeya because I've been so intrigued about the parallels between them for years! However, I'm definitely in the minority because I think Fischl isn't merely some plot-irrelevant cosplayer. The fact that Oz actually exists and is an entity with his own thoughts, personality, words, and voice (which, as far as I know, is not something any other Vision is capable of) is enough to convince me she has real power. Also, there's the fact that they made her playable in HI3, and the fact that her musical theme is shockingly similar to the Fatui Harbinger motif. (Also, I think the Mondstadt library is hiding some possibly-important secrets, and that's where Fischl got her Vision... but I digress.)
In any case, Fischl and Kaeya have another connection imo: they are both thematically linked to performance. There are a few other characters who similarly share this theme of playing a role, notably Childe and Furina (with Childe and Kaeya both connected to the phrase "never-ending performance"). Fischl's island in the summer fantasia event was very clearly based on theater and playing roles. In the end, the conclusion to her story was this: "Please be proud of all that is unreal. For we are greater than this world! For our magnificent kingdom is a small and forbidden paradise!" There's so much to explore about the idea of stories, even ones that are objectively false, having the power to transform people and the world (a theme also touched upon in the Thelxie event).
As for the dark tunnel in Perinheri, it's definitely suspicious that it's his first memory. It almost seems to me like a twisted version of birth--the birth canal replaced by something like an oven or chimney, which is filled with ash and ends with "death" instead of birth. Perhaps bringing a being into existence this way is something that would allow them to subvert / be free of fate?
ahh so many good points! I've drawn a looot of parallels between kaeya and fischl for a while, e.g. a lot of Eternal Return themes, amongst other things, but also the immernachtreich being a land of arts and performance and Kaeya foreshadowing Furina's "all the world's a stage"... so it's WAY beyond coincidence!! That's just one reason I make sure to listen to Fischl dialogue even if it's just for a cute cat-petting event lmao. I'm excited to see where they go with this!!
@@roozeveltfoxHer dialogue is always so intriguing, even in the silliest events! I couldn't help but notice how much she brought up images that evoke Remuria in the cat petting event. This line in particular is VERY interesting after watching the trailer (which shows that we will be led by a talking cat to Remuria, where we will fight a statue/golem): "Yes, statues! Forged in the image of cat familiars by melting the venerable coinage of lost dynasties and adorning them with strange pearls and dewdrops from the depths of a fjord."
Hopefully we get a Fischl and Kaeya interaction in game some time--I think it would be fascinating.
The line about the khenriahns treating the ones who came from the oceans with honor because they thought that Gods come from Oceans is really weird when you consider the fact that khaenriah was a Godless nation and from what we get from Dainsleif might've been an antigod nation.
The line from Dain's introduction..... Isn't it in the book but like in reverse.
I think either
A. The line in the book and Dainsleif's intro is an Allegory talking about something else
OR
B. They're both referring to two separate things. The line in the book is referring to the Dynasty and the line from the book is referring to the actual Crimson moon AKA the eye of judgement.
Hmm.... What if the Crimson Moon Dynasty was named after the Eye of Judgement, I think it was said the Khaenriah is somewhat close to Irminsul is it not?
So they could in theory watch and know everything and be or atleast try to be the one's who judge the world. It would be hella ironic if that's the case.
I don't think Irmin is the eye of judgement because why would he destroy his own kingdom and the fact that khaenriah fell to the Gods. Judgement would not just ignore the anhilation of a nation as just would it?
If u were to believe Angelica's claim of being a Gods follower who was DESTROYED by Morax then I think she might be the follower of the Evil God who had imprisoned Xiao and the yakshas simply because of what happened to Hleobrant. He went mad got really aggressive and turned into a monster (even if the reasons were different ) the symptoms are pretty much the same.
The Arlacheno connections are dubious at best because she might be the head of the house of the hearth but she isn't the one who created it or even it's first head there gave probably been a few dozen heads already depending on how long the house has been functioning, the name could've even come from Piero himself.
If we don't go into specifics then the Kaeya's idea works because Osayeil had 5 heads I think if those were his heads
Ive been thinking if the Sinner is going to be similar to Angelica in the sense that he himseld (assumingly) is going to be representetive of a concept of... well.... Sin, compared to Angelicas 'Freedom'.
You also point out that Angelicas claim of being from a nation dubious, im still skeptical and to some extent I think it might be a red herring. I think its a good point to raise, but I wonder whats the relevance of bringing up Zhongli in the first place.
On the crimson moon, yeah, Asmodays cubes def feel strongly tied towards it, although i also think this is a bit of traveller lore because of them purifying durins 'Crimson Tear'. Tear... Crimson...Eyeballs....
great vid tho keep up the great work!
7:12 For this, Morax was a god killer before he became Archon. It's also possible he already made a contract to protect some mortals, just not yet a contract with Ghuizong, and this is why he was said war god.
These Hoyoverse and their giant eyeballs.
speaking of solar eclipses, in ancient chinese mythology they supposedly occurs when a celestial dragon devours the sun! and yeah i think that dragon is nibelung! and then i don’t really think it’s too far off to equate the sun to the crimson moon + also maybe this is why the melusine sluasi describes the sun as black? BECAUSE YKNOW mr “father of melusines” elynas is a dragon (rhinedottir edition) soooooo…….. yeah :] idk where i’m going with this but the POSSIBILITIES ARGGGHHHHH (side note: i think korean and vietnamese mythology have similar myths with dogs and frogs, respectively, but THE dragon nibelung???? it’s too good)
sometimes the best theory is the funniest one if it comes true. red blob irmin ftw!
Its Kaeya, my beloved, its always him. Also lmao laughing at the song at the end 😂😂
