Thank you so much for watching!
i love when genshin drops huge lorebombs through obscure little books, it makes discovering all that information even more exciting
U mean it sarcastically right 😂
I hope you're joking because I hate it. The ONLY reason I know about this book is from the UA-cam lore channels I follow. Otherwise, I would have never known about this book let alone to look for it
@@xChaosFlowerno one is joking, it's the best way to present lore. Never played jrpgs or what?
@@hebislayno.
@@Jevjevjevj “best”
I think Perinheri represents our sibling in Kaenri'ah. In the Chinese version their gender changes depending on which sibling you play as, which reminds me of the Caribert quest line where you play as the sibling you chose but you're reliving the Abyss twin's memories.
Angelica being the Tsaritsa makes sense. It would explain why she had such a strong bond with Rosalind (La Signora) due to the tragic love story parallels.
If Arlecchino was at the orphanage in Khaenri'ah she could said she was from Fontaine because she was born in the region which is now Fontaine, after all the only people in Khaenri'ah that weren't turned into hilicurls were the pure blooded Khaenri'ahns so people who moved there before the cataclysm without any Khaenri'ahn blood were likely cursed as well.
Also on the topic of the Tsaritsa I think Venti once stated that the original pyro and cyro archons were replaced before the cataclysm.
good video the three characters on that story book reminds me of the 3 realms too Hleobrant(void), perinheri(human) and angelica(light/vishap)
Arlecchino ate tartaglia’s vision cuz she was feeling hungry and thirsty
Sounds like a bad idea, even if you are a Fatui Harbinger. Visions are pretty much indestructible (Keqing tried), and they seek a way back to their owner.
I don't think Perinheri could be the 3rd descender who's remains got used to make the Gnosis since Angelica said he couldn't shoulder the world. She could have been mistaken, but we have no reasons atm to believe she was. But I do believe that Arlecchino has some relation to the Crimson Moon based on the red eyes on her outfit and from what I saw from her boss fight leak.
Seems more like a grim reaper/death more than anything.
An interesting detail in the CN version of the book, Perinheri's gender actually changes depending on which twin you play as.
If you choose Aether Perinheris a guy but if you chose Lumine Perinheri is a girl.
I wonder if there will be a significant reason in the future? if so then the book might get an update in the future.
My theory is that Arlecchino may be a sort of "failed descender". Maybe she did come from another world, but didn’t have a will powerful enough to rival an entire world. See how the travellers have these angel motifs, and Arlecchino also has a lot of angel wings in her design. She could be like a fallen angel
She could be from outside but not descender as Traveler
She mentioned that she's from Fontaine, so she's more of an outsider than a descender
@@xChaosFlower and your just gonna believe her?
I've seen some info where the art of Khemia was prevalent during the Crimson Moon Dynasty. I personally think the passage where it describes Perinheri being in a dark corridor is actually his subconscious being awake but his body is lying in a table or something. They were never in a dark corridor or somewhere else, they are still in the orphanage, but Perinheri was undergoing some human transmutation via Alchemy, and his subconscious went to a different "place" where he saw the Crimson Moon looking back at him. Even though his subconscious is in a different place, he can still hear the things around him. That repeated question from the grown-ups where they ask if he's dead doesn't make any sense in the first place, but if they were asking it for the sake of getting a response from him, then getting a response would mean a success, or, in order to succeed, the subject has to die first, then be reborn.
It's basically what happened with Caterpillar in the world quest.
Now I understand the story clearly
There is a notice board in the fortress or meriopede that speaks of the "Tri-coupon troupe" that says: Some say that only two medicines can cure a multitude of sins. One is time and the other is silence. When her true love dies bearing hatred and she herself is framed and exiled, will she choose silence or vengeance? Amidst nearly boundless enmity, how will her fate sink and resurface?
Seems like this story is related somehow.
i love hearing your theories, and will wait for more in future
Thanks
Feels good to be back on your video
i watch your every single video and this was an insane theory
Clear and comprehensive as usual, silicone
love your voice and the way you narrate, great videos
one thing i wanna to add, from memory Venti once mentioned during early stage of the game, that, all Seven original archons and their follower, including The Tsaritsa used to hang out, or at least, were in good terms since they were drinking together. Until something happened 500 years ago, The Tsaritsa stopped and refused to talking to venti. This means, even before the Cataclysm, no necessarily the cryo archon, but the The Tsaritsa was already beside one of the seven archon, hence why Venti has met her in the pass during archon meetings. So, i don't think she would be Angelica, since Angelica's "god" was killed/defeated by Morax, and it would be weird for someone who claims to be free, to follow another archon.
Another thing about that is, as far as we know so far, there were only two gods that the death was related to Zhongli with in the Liyue region, Guizhong, Fujin's master (killed by the primordial jade cutter), and by speculation (coz we don't know if morax actually killed that god or not?) Xiao's old master. Everyone other gods that zhongli has encounter, as far as the available lore is concerned, was either siding with Zhongli, or sealed away one way or another, even "Chi" didn't technically die.... so it would be interesting to see if there are more Liyue area to be unlocked, which might add more pieces to this little puzzle.
Also dire balemoon translates to “solitary figure in the dark that brings
disaster”
孤暝厄月
I remember Zhongli saying that the Tsarista was the god of love, but now she's bitter and dead inside. So this book explain her story bits by bits explaining a lot of stuff about who she was in the past and what she might do in the future. Her having one part of her lover made her go mad and full of hatred, her love is no more and she want revenge on who harmed her lover.
She probably gather ever gnosis to probably revive him to take revenge on Celestia for what they did to them.
For Arlecchino, i think she just might be lying in a way about her being from Fontaine, more like if the previous Knave was from Fontaine, she took her place or fused with her to become the new Knave, meaning that now she's "from" Fontaine but in reality its just a façade to hide her true birth place. There's one more thing im curious about, is why her eyes have a cross in them, her eyes are very different from every single character in the game, they are pretty unique like if she tried to hide her pupiles by cutting them or because she's a fail experiment.
tbh i think her pupils are just an artistic thing, since characters like hu tao have unique pupils but they don’t really mean anything. the only consistent eyes are khaenriah eyes, as all confirmed khaenriah have the primogem-like eyes. but who knows, maybe we’ll see future characters with eyes like arle
@@nookpurinHu Tao's eyes *may* mean that they show living people who were on the border of the dimension of the dead and came back to the world of the living. All characters with unique eyes have a situation in their story that could change their eyes, so either in the Arlecchino story they will show us why her eyes became like this (like it was in the Baizhu story), or we will find out a situation that could explain her eyes.
@@nookpurinAnother instance of consistent eye shapes is the Seelie, they had been stated in every book to have Golden/Amber eyes with piercing pulpils.
Just wanted to add that one to your knowledge do with this information as you wish.
@@citoyenneteavanttout7273 Golden eyes? Like the Traveler and Sibling? It's very possible that they are related.
@@citoyenneteavanttout7273kujo sara is a confirmed seelie/j
She could have been reborn in Fontaine, but born elsewhere. Have you read the fall of the faded castle?
Also!
our sibling also considers KhaenriahHis homeland year is from another world
That would explain the gliches in her idle. The world is
basically telling her : You are not supposed to be here.
The line about how Khenriahns treated the sea people (people who came from the sea) with honor and respect is very concerning because the reason behind it as stated is that they believe Gods came from the sea. A normal honourable sentiment at first glance until you consider the fact that Khenriahns never worshipped a God and the fact the Dainsleif warns us not to trust the Gods but equally not to do something rash against them and the final bail in the coffin is that fact that this book is an allegory, a dairy tale so what if the honor and respect they speak of is the opposite of what they actually did. What if Khenriah was killing off Gods that dare approach or an even more interesting thought what if they're the reason behind those Gods suddenly disappearing in the Dark Sea
This Angelica, i think she might have been an associate or a subject of Xiao's former master who Morax killed to save Xiao and the Yakshas because of what happened to Hleobrant how he started acting strange and aggressive almost as if he's gone mad similar to what happened to the Yakshas in the later stages of the war.
It's possible that the Khenriahn envoys were failed Descenders but I have my doubts because of two reasons
1. How Perenheri was treated if there would be a failed Descender they probably wouldn't survive the test itself
And
2. I'm not a 💯% sure but I don't think we have known anywhere other than Enkanomiya to have had Khenriahn envoys visit them
I can't say for certain but I don't think Perenheri is the abyss sibling because we can't be certain about where does it takes place on the timeline. Plus I have a strong belief that only 1 Descender can exist in a given Samsara Cycle.
This book also puts Kaeya's clan in a very conspicuous position as their clan has existed for many millennia longer than any ruling Dynasty so why they take over the rule only just now after the nation was almost completely Destroyed.
If Perenheri could be the dead 3rd Descender or maybe even the first who knows
Also i know this isn't necessary and i don't have a problem in particular but it just sounds weird
It's Dei- Us Auri in other words Morax and not Duse Auri 😅😅😅😅😅
About Alberich clan, it's perfectly normal for noble clans to last longer than ruling dynasties. They just don't have as many enemies. And the people seeking the title of a head of a noble clan can't get away with as much as people who seek the throne.
I don't think perinheri could be a descender.Didn't the book explicitly say that no such child(descender) arrived at the orphanage?
Yes, but I also explained a loophole in that idea.
Angelica said he does not have the nobility to shoulder a world, but that he has his own destiny. So, Outlander.
I don't think Perinheri is the third descender.
I think the lovers in Genshin are ourselves, the traveller, and the abyss twin tho.
if angelica liked perinheri did the celestia knew about their reletionship? if yes than wouldnt that make them dum as they made angelica the archon who has a high chance of betraying celestia after they hand angelica the gnosis as it is made from her lover's remains AND if not then we can get more places like the dark sea as they dont know everything or they don't rule everything.

This is a very interesting theory! I could definitely see some, if not all of the points being correct. My first thought on Angelica's origins were potentially Columbina - I believe the part where she reveals a sort of true form to Perinheri could be her biblically accurate angel form that I know you've theorised about before too. Perhaps Angelica could also be Paimon lmao. But I do like the idea of her potentially being the Cryo archon! The ties with her being an archon of love, and her herself being a part of The Lovers is very interesting!
"Biblically accurate angels" are just a trend phrase from the recent past 5 years for a yt video about angels from the book of Enoch, a book that is not included in the Bible. The ang3s described in the actual Bible all have human shape... so....
@@asedoprojectAnd these are not real angels, this is just an interpretation that the apostles created in ancient times to not scare their followers. High ranking angels have always been as incomprehensible as God to mortals. That is why their real appearance is called "Biblically accurate" because it is literally a description of their appearance from the Bible, and not an interpretation and humanization from artists.
How about the Khaenri'ah descendants where originally Hylichur and the god where the one that made them human.... so in denying those same god they condemned themselves in limbo...... yes no maybe?
Help- my initial thought before you discussed about angelica was that Arlecchino could actually be Angelica ToT
That the gid she could've been talking about was egeria back then, and by the time she did it was when she was taken by Tsaritsa. The destruction of her nation was that of the time when the heavenly principles had mercilessly struck their nation down because of the 'sin' that Egeria had commited.
where did you find this book in genshin
it's the bookstore in Fontaine! I believe an NPC called Angelica stands next to it!
@@EnchantingELK NPC's name is Angelique in English translation. Close enough.
About outlanders and descnders... Isn't like Traveller both? If i'm not mistaking the Unknown God reffered to Traveller as " Outlander ,your journey end here..." How can blud be both? Simply built diff???
Well every Descender is an Outlander, as in they come from beyond Teyvat, but not everyone from beyond Teyvat could be a Descender.
@@SiliconOneFour ty for explanation man!
red moon ?
BLOODBORNE REFERENCE !!?!??!?!
Real life reference 🗣🗣🗣 ????!?!?!
IM EARLY.
🤫🧏
just a hunch, Angelica is Damselette
I've seen people say Columbina, but this is new
@@xChaosFlower Aren't Damselette and Columbina the same person?
@@dungusbungus559 oh sh*t. They are. I rarely seen people use her codename 😅
me too !!!!
:- D
inb4 this is about Capitano instead lol
arlecchino is sus
LEAK SPOILERS
Are you still there? are you ready for a leak?
good
she definitely has some sort of connection to the crimson moon. her pyro attacks look more like blood than fire, and her signature weapon is literally called "crimson moon's semblance"
Tbh there’s so much more pointing to he being something otherworldly/a reaper of sorts.
