AAAAA YESS! I LOVED THE REACTION WHEN THE TRUTH OF THE FOUR DECENDERS HAD BEEN REVEALED!! Another thing is that I heard that in honkai star rail had a glider from Genshin impact. I'd like to believe that honkai and genshin are kind of connected, I don't play honkai star rail since I barely have storage sadly but hopefully one day I'd be able to give it a try. I've been exploring the desert and almost 100% it, and to think the abyssal sibling belonged to the world of Teyvat, they were the anomaly. Before I used to question as to who in the world we were traveling with if our twin belonged to the world.
Rewatching this just reminds you how PEAK Sumeru was, and I think because some people might prefer Sumeru over Fontaine, just shows how good this AQ really was (For me Fontaine AQ is the favorite). I still can't believe they managed to top this in Fontaine, and I guarantee, just how we were like "How the hell are they gonna top this in Fontaine?" and they did, the exact same thing is gonna happen in Natlan, where we will be like "HOW??", which I can't wait for, I am prepared to have my mind blown this fall, not to mention this upcoming Dain quest(I HOPE IT'S 3 HOURS LONG PLEASE HOYOVERSE)
BRUH I just realized- when I was watching your Aranara Quest let's play I was super confused because I didn't remember any mention of this 'Queen Aranyani', but brushed it off since I thought it was my bad memory. Turns out no, and I also ignored the fact that I never saw 'Lord of Verdure' or the alternative titles in your playthrough either, which is what changed before and after the final act of the AQ. The attention to detail is crazy. Also, in retrospect that hurts all the more, because "The forest will always remember" said after the forest forgot... Crying_hand_over_mouth_meme.png

After this archon quest I am really questioning what Venti knows and remembers, since at our first meeting with him he implied that he knew us and we don’t remember it. Does he remember previous cycles?
gotta love how nahida gives you a mindbreak moment, honestly i think theres somekind of false memories aether has, this might make a huge turn in the end, like how the twins are together in the teyvat chapter trailer, but its only aether in the end. also i think genshins story will combine with honkais story eventually, it is hoyoeverse after all.
1:14:40 i think its the other way around, Aether(Player) is the Original & Lumine is the clone, 'Born or Created from Khaenriah' thus she originates from Teyvat and is Recorded in the Irminsul.
After that Goddess of flower talk with deshret, makes more sense. Like she warned deshret not to seek the master of the four shades if he does it Nail of retribution will fall, doesn't that mean Phanes is the Heavenly principles and second who came is someone unknown? As third one is already dead.
If we assume the master of the four shades/phanes to be the enemy of celestia/the heavenly principles, then we can interpret the heavenly principles nuking deshret with a nail as them wanting to maintain their big coverup of phanes' existence, like how it's forbidden to read before sun and moon and how orobashi got killed for reading it
What is cool about the whole helping the desert plot is that in the second part of Jeht's quest both Cyno and Nahida are mentionned in notes around the tribe of the tanit, which actually connect the WQ to the AQ
Instead finishing sumeru archon quest myself, I'm really out here finishing sumeru through your playthrough 💀( Thanks for the additional lores and things i missed after skipping sumeru and fontaine) (Im too lazy to continue the samsara quest, please dont judge💀🙏😭)
Quick update, i just finished the samsara quest and i have to say it was unexpected and beautiful. It felt like such a fever dream, dunyarzad pranking me now, i almost dont wanna finish the quest because i thought she was gonna disappear
Arnold gigabrain exploding no one saw this convo coming that's for sure. I just assumed as we faded to black with dottore none would have been revealed but i ain't complaining. Ty Arnold
1:14:14 Do you think that maybe, because someone is manipulating and editing things about Lumine, similarly to a computer, the “computer” now recognizes Lumine as part of Tyvate? Like someone is constantly messing with and changing Lumines fate that the tree now recognizes it and just saved it as if Lumine is part of Tyvate. I don't know how to explain it but this is just purely my own theory.
They ll do anything to cut off Zach's payment lol, even if it means forcing the dendro archon to possess the traveller to speak instead of showing up personally lol
Damn big respect to you for wanting to see how the games connect with each other. I’ve been living my Genshin life wanting to see how this connects to the greater Honkaiverse, Sea of Stars, Sea of Quanta, the Abyss, Honkai corruption, and the fact that Otto once peered into Teyvat. The devs even said that Teyvat is a bubble world in a past interview. I can’t wait to see more connections too!
Ah descender lore. Nice to look back on how much info mihoyoverse didn't tell or hid behind specific choice of words. When we believed that only descenders were from beyond this world. (Spoilers of perinhlra book from 4.5 if you haven't read it) Perinhlra + a line from wanderer's quest tells us the answer to why lumine is from this world, isn't a descendar, and her info got covered. I mean.... I'm guessing... It's still theories.
Lumine isn't from this world but even outside creatures are recorded in irmansul such as narwhal Their are many outsiders in tyvat but non of them are considered as descender hack kondri'ah basically have army of outsiders
@@Talia_Vantas tell why abyss twin is not a descender? I mean if you want to read the book just Google it. It's not very long. I mean I guess quick answer, she can't fight the world so isn't a descender. She started out belonging to the world because (based in the end of sumeru and wanderer's quest) she was summoned to khaen'riah. And adding info from perihenri. She got brought to khaen'riah because of the thing the crimson moon dynasty of khaen'riah were doing, basically farming for shiny outlanders (descenders, Pokémon reference btw) Of course this part has no concrete proof, but one can assume that if you get the will to rival a world, you can be a descender, which I think was what narzzikeunz tried to do. So abyss twin, I'm assuming, after getting the Sinners and abyss help, became a descender or maybe sharing a descender title idk so she gets blocked in irminsul (note this theory is based on the possibility that the term descender being literally just a title, you have to be recorded by people to know if you're descender, you don't just instantly get a title.)
After now having bedtime stories Dain quest I'm thinking our twin (or the leylines) had their memories altered by the Loom. Would explain why they and Dain constantly contradict eachother, why they're in Irminsul, why their Irminsul memories suddenly get fuzzy and why they had such a drastic switchup. Also now that the loom is complete, any memory alters can't be undone which seems pretty unimportant to the plot to add unless it's actually incredibly significant to the story. The Aranara also knew of the Loom and really pushed the idea of memories so it feels like Irminsul now being the only way to erase memories and people is going to come back into play especially since we haven't see Dottore burn the tree and we haven't had they travail teaser Sumeru title as a quest but every other nation thus far has had it. It also lines up with his following the Gnostic Chorus (battlepass story)
My own cracked theory. Lumine is an alchemical accident born on teyvat and blew it up when the Khaenri’ans attempted to make a copy of her which resulted in us and sent us flying like a shooting star. 🤣🤣🤣🤡
1:06:00 If the abyss sibling is actually from beyond Teyvat, the traveller is correct, there should NOT be any info on them in Irminsul. There isn’t any info on the traveller as well, that’s why they are totally exempt from alterations within irminsul. However, this line from Nahida indicates there’s something strange going on with the sibling, because there actually is info on them in Irminsul
Hey Arnold I dunno if you already got them but apparently 4.5 added 2 new books in the fontaine book store. Apparently it has huge lore in them ppl are saying it's sun & moon level.
She’s an outlander for sure, but the NZKZ Ordo questline clarified that someone can only be classified as a Descender” if their will is strong enough to create a world, destroy a world, sustain a world or protect a world. During Sumeru we were under the assumption that Descenders are people outside this world, but ANYBODY can be a descender if their will meets those criteria. So in Ally’s case, she’s an outlander but not a descender.
@@MurderofBirdsImpact Ah yeah fair. Having played both Horizon titles, I'm sure if stuff pops off and Sony renews a perma contract with Hoyo, Aloy will have a will that rivals gods for sure haha
after rewatched sumeru AQ I realized that Nahida w will eventually figures about Rukadevatha. She inherited her memories as it was hers but sonethings doesn't add up like King Deshret sacrifice still happens and the Irminsul contamination 500 years ago. Since she knows she's the avatar of Irminsul she'll probably figures that she can't purge the contamination without purging herself and since this happened maybe this will lead her to think why and she'll start to connect the dots? Could take thousands of years tho 😂
the heavenly principles is one person i’m pretty sure- and that’s phanes, the first who came or the primordial one. i think celestia is a group of gods, while the heavenly principles is like their leader. but he has been silent for many years as nahida said. also, could celestia really be the second who came? didn’t phanes create celestia? wouldn’t that mean celestia is from teyvat? the second who came was apparently punished by the first who came for waging war against phanes and his shining shades, the third is unknown but they’re apparently dead and their remnants are now what we know as the gnoses thanks to skirk. still don’t know why lumine is not classified as a descender, can’t wait for natlan to hopefully find out more intel about the descenders and the truth of this world. also could it be possible the tsaritsa is collecting all the gnoses to revive the third descender and wage war??
I mean if you've gotten to the narzzikeunz notes and the perihalyl (however it's spelt) book then you probably have a good idea why lumine isn't a descendar
Phanes, Primordial one, Heavenly Principles, Celestia(more like place/title) is the same entity. Back in the days it was popular to think that Celestia is a second who came and an impostor who overthrew Primordial one. But since then we had multiple cases of characters(Neuvilette, Apep come to mind) who call the one who stole power from dragons(Primordial one) Heavenly Principles. And imo second who came is Nibelung and I am dying on that hill :D.
@@The_original_one yeah i’ve heard of that, i just thought lumines will to revive the homeland (khaenri’ah) was pretty strong? i mean she did say her war with destiny would not end until she’s seen the abyss engulf the thrones. but, it did say something is obstructing her fate so it could also be that
The biggest lore drop ever. Aether is the 4th yet Lumine isn't? Does Lumine travel around the world make her not the descender. Primordial One should be the 1st for overthrowing the dragons yet Heavenly Principle is the 1st? There's also second who came.
@@rubixlp6545nothing confirmed but in my opinion it's very clearly pointing that heavenly principles and phanes are the same But if you want to follow murderofbirds theories then yeah, he thinks hp and phanes are different people and celestia came to overthrow phanes. Idk if he has the same theory now since it's been 1 year since this, but during this video, he wasn't changing his theory yet based on what nahida told us.
@@Evitzeoshowerthoughts Primordial One has Four Shade while Heavenly Principle has Seven Archon. That's a bit contradicting. if we follow Arnold's theory, 1) Primordial One 2) Second who came 3) Heavenly Principle(???) But we know in Fontaine quest that the gnosis is created from remains of the 3rd descender made by Primordial One and Second Who Came. Gnosis are used by Archons to connect with celestia Heavenly Principle = Second Who Came is my current theory. Zero idea on who the 3rd one is
@@diputsnoob3815 why is phanes having 4 shades and celestia having 7 archons contradictory exactly? Istaroth is definitely not an archon and is the god/probably shade of time... anyway I highly doubt disregarding the advice of the god of wisdom, even if she said it was a theory, will be a good idea. Well if you want to keep following arnold's theory then sure, I'm just here to give my input on how edit: even though neuvilette has directly called phanes as hp..." End if edit, these are just theories. oh yeah, I was gonna answer you that we kinda know why the abyss twin isn't a descendar. Narzikkuez or however it's spelt world quest has notes that tells us not everyone from beyond can be a descendor, they must have the will to actual go against the world to be a descendar. as for if you want my guess on the descendars. 1st phanes who is the heavenly principles and the sustainer is a shade. 2nd is 2nd who came obviously but no name. 3rd is nibelung, the dragon king who became a descendar and came back to fight, lost again and got recycled into the gnosis. yes very crackpot.... and...idk stripping nibelung made him into the Sinner lol.
Hm, I think the theory that Lumine could’ve created a clone of us that didn’t really “fit” in to Teyvat is really interesting, because that would’ve happened around the same time Ei did it with Scaramouche, using the technology from Khaenriah. Both powerful women creating male clones, abandoning them and then letting them travel off by themselves, and both of these clones being “exceptions” to Irminsul. Not gonna lie, it does feel like there is some kind of reflection between Aether and Scaramouche, and this kinda pushes that connection if it’s true
Wait, what??? Are you talking about the voice in the inn at the end, where I thought that was Istaroth when I initially did it? That was the Wanderer Archon Quest Interlude, not the Sumeru Archon Quest.
I wonder if Aether and Lumine are alternate universe versions of each other and not actually twins, so that would explain why one twin is part of this Teyvat, and the other is considered a descender 🤔
1:08:00 I think when the Sustainer of the Heavenly Principle took our sibling (Aether or Lumine) she might sent our sibling to the Teyvat 500yrs ago and then she sent us to the current Teyvat. That might be the reason why our sibling already knew about world of Teyvat and has recorded from the Irminsul.
I know this quest is very old and maybe you are not confused anymore regarding this but Heavenly principles, first descender and phanes are the same person. Even if they are different then Phanes is supposed to be the shade. Unknown god is not Heavenly principles, she's the *Sustainer* of heavenly principles.
@@MurderofBirdsImpact I am sorry but I personally don't watch theory videos since that would override my own theories and experience of the game. I have recently gotten to know you, and from what I watched so far I am sure you cooked 🔥
I was outright dismissing your theory on the traveler being copied from Lumine but then- I got chills when you mentioned Albedo because I remembered that potion he had the Traveler drink to verify his internal energy processing, and then when we left he looked at the remnants of the vial saying something was similar to him?? help??? Alright good thing I save screenshots of these things. He said: "Those born of earth are bound by its imperfections, but those born of chalk are free of impurities... You and I are alike, both composed of a substance that has yet to be fully defined" You might be onto something (??? maybe??) there, though exactly in which direction it goes I'm not sure. Might just be referring to the traveler being a descendant from beyond Teyvat and nothing else. (no idea if anything else was made clear after Fontaine, I haven't set foot there yet, so it's my take lacking that)
Its canon guys, the hoyo devs didnt do dehya dirty by making her kit bad. It was her own wish, she wanted to put herself to the test, being OP as fuck would have made everything way too easy for her, so she chose to do everything the hard way.
Need your opinion Arnold I don't know much about the lore, but I wanted to ask If one of the sibling is the descender, do you think there is time loop in this game? Since we chose one of the sibling (assuming Aether) in the beginning, what about the players who chose Lumine? You think somewhere in the future we would come to a moment where we return on time (back on the beginning, but as Lumine) but the difference would be we already know what would happen. I don't know if this comment makes sense, but I really love the concept of time travelling
I do want to say that irmunsul only makes up the history of teyvat therefore Lumine shouldnt be in irmunsul its like how even when fate is changed in irmunsul it doesnt effect us because we are not of this world therefore if she was not of this world nothing would be recorded of her in irmunsul and tampering with it would not effect her memories this voiceline is proof that somehow lumine has become intigrated with the world despite not being apart of it i have my own personal theory that our abyss twin isnt even real the leylines of the world are meant to grant wishes in caribert we learn the gods responded to the summoning of lumine i assume that we came to teyvat to look for our sister and the heavenly principles granted our wish of wanting to find our sister and therefore responded by summoning a creation like our sister for us to go on this journey and find it would explain why this is only the teyvat chapter because in the end we will learn she isnt real and continue on to the next world to find her

1:04:05 oh boy, we in for a treat
Instead finishing sumeru archon quest myself, I'm really out here finishing sumeru through your playthrough 💀( Thanks for the additional lores and things i missed after skipping sumeru and fontaine)
(Im too lazy to continue the samsara quest, please dont judge💀🙏😭)
Quick update, i just finished the samsara quest and i have to say it was unexpected and beautiful. It felt like such a fever dream, dunyarzad pranking me now, i almost dont wanna finish the quest because i thought she was gonna disappear
Arnold gigabrain exploding no one saw this convo coming that's for sure.
I just assumed as we faded to black with dottore none would have been revealed but i ain't complaining. Ty Arnold
Pierro being above the first seat of the harbingers is scary asf
1:14:14 Do you think that maybe, because someone is manipulating and editing things about Lumine, similarly to a computer, the “computer” now recognizes Lumine as part of Tyvate? Like someone is constantly messing with and changing Lumines fate that the tree now recognizes it and just saved it as if Lumine is part of Tyvate. I don't know how to explain it but this is just purely my own theory.
They ll do anything to cut off Zach's payment lol, even if it means forcing the dendro archon to possess the traveller to speak instead of showing up personally lol
Aloy kinda canon as descender 😂 lezgo!
Listen idc what the game says I fully believe our twin was the 3rd descender and that’s some morbid information to know
The lore dump gave me a headache but I welcome it
Sumeru gave us so much lore
Literally the BEST region in the game for a reason!
@@MurderofBirdsImpact I agree with you!
Im really curious how tsarita unite all the harbinger since according to lyney all harbingers have different motivation and motives?
Damn big respect to you for wanting to see how the games connect with each other. I’ve been living my Genshin life wanting to see how this connects to the greater Honkaiverse, Sea of Stars, Sea of Quanta, the Abyss, Honkai corruption, and the fact that Otto once peered into Teyvat. The devs even said that Teyvat is a bubble world in a past interview. I can’t wait to see more connections too!
Idk.. but paimon sweating hard when nahida mentioned descenders
Ah descender lore. Nice to look back on how much info mihoyoverse didn't tell or hid behind specific choice of words.
When we believed that only descenders were from beyond this world.
(Spoilers of perinhlra book from 4.5 if you haven't read it)
Perinhlra + a line from wanderer's quest tells us the answer to why lumine is from this world, isn't a descendar, and her info got covered. I mean.... I'm guessing... It's still theories.
Lumine isn't from this world but even outside creatures are recorded in irmansul such as narwhal
Their are many outsiders in tyvat but non of them are considered as descender hack kondri'ah basically have army of outsiders
Can you tell me please? C: with spoiler warnings
@@Talia_Vantas tell why abyss twin is not a descender? I mean if you want to read the book just Google it. It's not very long.
I mean I guess quick answer, she can't fight the world so isn't a descender. She started out belonging to the world because (based in the end of sumeru and wanderer's quest) she was summoned to khaen'riah.
And adding info from perihenri.
She got brought to khaen'riah because of the thing the crimson moon dynasty of khaen'riah were doing, basically farming for shiny outlanders (descenders, Pokémon reference btw)
Of course this part has no concrete proof, but one can assume that if you get the will to rival a world, you can be a descender, which I think was what narzzikeunz tried to do.
So abyss twin, I'm assuming, after getting the Sinners and abyss help, became a descender or maybe sharing a descender title idk so she gets blocked in irminsul (note this theory is based on the possibility that the term descender being literally just a title, you have to be recorded by people to know if you're descender, you don't just instantly get a title.)
@@The_original_one thanks for explaining the book
@@Evitzeoshowerthoughts thank you!
After now having bedtime stories Dain quest I'm thinking our twin (or the leylines) had their memories altered by the Loom. Would explain why they and Dain constantly contradict eachother, why they're in Irminsul, why their Irminsul memories suddenly get fuzzy and why they had such a drastic switchup. Also now that the loom is complete, any memory alters can't be undone which seems pretty unimportant to the plot to add unless it's actually incredibly significant to the story. The Aranara also knew of the Loom and really pushed the idea of memories so it feels like Irminsul now being the only way to erase memories and people is going to come back into play especially since we haven't see Dottore burn the tree and we haven't had they travail teaser Sumeru title as a quest but every other nation thus far has had it. It also lines up with his following the Gnostic Chorus (battlepass story)
My own cracked theory. Lumine is an alchemical accident born on teyvat and blew it up when the Khaenri’ans attempted to make a copy of her which resulted in us and sent us flying like a shooting star. 🤣🤣🤣🤡
It is remarkable how the game itself, changing names and censoring parts, forgot Rukha... Ruka... who?
I like Neuvilette's shade to Furina in his intro lines for Nahida😅
Paimon : we have lawyer in home
1:06:00
If the abyss sibling is actually from beyond Teyvat, the traveller is correct, there should NOT be any info on them in Irminsul. There isn’t any info on the traveller as well, that’s why they are totally exempt from alterations within irminsul. However, this line from Nahida indicates there’s something strange going on with the sibling, because there actually is info on them in Irminsul
Hey Arnold I dunno if you already got them but apparently 4.5 added 2 new books in the fontaine book store. Apparently it has huge lore in them ppl are saying it's sun & moon level.
I'm aware. I'm gonna try reading Perinheri (and maybe Time Trekker) before Version 4.6 releases.
Now that I think about it, if The Traveler is not recorded on the history of Teyvat, then Paimon will be the heroin on the records of Irminsul?! 😂
Aloy is 1000% the 5th Descender, who came after the Traveller.
She’s an outlander for sure, but the NZKZ Ordo questline clarified that someone can only be classified as a Descender” if their will is strong enough to create a world, destroy a world, sustain a world or protect a world. During Sumeru we were under the assumption that Descenders are people outside this world, but ANYBODY can be a descender if their will meets those criteria. So in Ally’s case, she’s an outlander but not a descender.
@@MurderofBirdsImpact Ah yeah fair. Having played both Horizon titles, I'm sure if stuff pops off and Sony renews a perma contract with Hoyo, Aloy will have a will that rivals gods for sure haha
after rewatched sumeru AQ I realized that Nahida w will eventually figures about Rukadevatha. She inherited her memories as it was hers but sonethings doesn't add up like King Deshret sacrifice still happens and the Irminsul contamination 500 years ago. Since she knows she's the avatar of Irminsul she'll probably figures that she can't purge the contamination without purging herself and since this happened maybe this will lead her to think why and she'll start to connect the dots? Could take thousands of years tho 😂
the heavenly principles is one person i’m pretty sure- and that’s phanes, the first who came or the primordial one. i think celestia is a group of gods, while the heavenly principles is like their leader. but he has been silent for many years as nahida said. also, could celestia really be the second who came? didn’t phanes create celestia? wouldn’t that mean celestia is from teyvat? the second who came was apparently punished by the first who came for waging war against phanes and his shining shades, the third is unknown but they’re apparently dead and their remnants are now what we know as the gnoses thanks to skirk. still don’t know why lumine is not classified as a descender, can’t wait for natlan to hopefully find out more intel about the descenders and the truth of this world. also could it be possible the tsaritsa is collecting all the gnoses to revive the third descender and wage war??
I mean if you've gotten to the narzzikeunz notes and the perihalyl (however it's spelt) book then you probably have a good idea why lumine isn't a descendar
Phanes, Primordial one, Heavenly Principles, Celestia(more like place/title) is the same entity. Back in the days it was popular to think that Celestia is a second who came and an impostor who overthrew Primordial one. But since then we had multiple cases of characters(Neuvilette, Apep come to mind) who call the one who stole power from dragons(Primordial one) Heavenly Principles. And imo second who came is Nibelung and I am dying on that hill :D.
“ not all who came from beyond the stars are considered as descender that tittle only belong to those who have the “will" to rivel an entire world"
@@Evitzeoshowerthoughts thank you!! i’ll do that:)
@@The_original_one yeah i’ve heard of that, i just thought lumines will to revive the homeland (khaenri’ah) was pretty strong? i mean she did say her war with destiny would not end until she’s seen the abyss engulf the thrones. but, it did say something is obstructing her fate so it could also be that
The biggest lore drop ever. Aether is the 4th yet Lumine isn't? Does Lumine travel around the world make her not the descender.
Primordial One should be the 1st for overthrowing the dragons yet Heavenly Principle is the 1st? There's also second who came.
I thought the primordial one and the heavenly principles are the same entity
@@rubixlp6545They are not. The Heavenly Principles defeated the Primordial One (Phanes) and took over.
@@rubixlp6545nothing confirmed but in my opinion it's very clearly pointing that heavenly principles and phanes are the same
But if you want to follow murderofbirds theories then yeah, he thinks hp and phanes are different people and celestia came to overthrow phanes.
Idk if he has the same theory now since it's been 1 year since this, but during this video, he wasn't changing his theory yet based on what nahida told us.
@@Evitzeoshowerthoughts
Primordial One has Four Shade while Heavenly Principle has Seven Archon. That's a bit contradicting.
if we follow Arnold's theory,
1) Primordial One
2) Second who came
3) Heavenly Principle(???)
But we know in Fontaine quest that the gnosis is created from remains of the 3rd descender made by Primordial One and Second Who Came. Gnosis are used by Archons to connect with celestia
Heavenly Principle = Second Who Came is my current theory. Zero idea on who the 3rd one is
@@diputsnoob3815 why is phanes having 4 shades and celestia having 7 archons contradictory exactly? Istaroth is definitely not an archon and is the god/probably shade of time...
anyway I highly doubt disregarding the advice of the god of wisdom, even if she said it was a theory, will be a good idea. Well if you want to keep following arnold's theory then sure, I'm just here to give my input on how edit: even though neuvilette has directly called phanes as hp..." End if edit, these are just theories.
oh yeah, I was gonna answer you that we kinda know why the abyss twin isn't a descendar. Narzikkuez or however it's spelt world quest has notes that tells us not everyone from beyond can be a descendor, they must have the will to actual go against the world to be a descendar.
as for if you want my guess on the descendars. 1st phanes who is the heavenly principles and the sustainer is a shade.
2nd is 2nd who came obviously but no name. 3rd is nibelung, the dragon king who became a descendar and came back to fight, lost again and got recycled into the gnosis. yes very crackpot.... and...idk stripping nibelung made him into the Sinner lol.
1:21:02 yeah i got more questions than answers
Keep uploading your previous stream videos! Because i cannot afford subscriptions in Twitch
Don't worry, I plan to upload everything until we're catch up with present-day content! I hope you'll continue to watch and enjoy the videos! :)
Hm, I think the theory that Lumine could’ve created a clone of us that didn’t really “fit” in to Teyvat is really interesting, because that would’ve happened around the same time Ei did it with Scaramouche, using the technology from Khaenriah.
Both powerful women creating male clones, abandoning them and then letting them travel off by themselves, and both of these clones being “exceptions” to Irminsul. Not gonna lie, it does feel like there is some kind of reflection between Aether and Scaramouche, and this kinda pushes that connection if it’s true
Oh u didnt include the allegedly talking to istaroth to someone in this video isnt that the part of this archon quest
Wait, what??? Are you talking about the voice in the inn at the end, where I thought that was Istaroth when I initially did it? That was the Wanderer Archon Quest Interlude, not the Sumeru Archon Quest.
Fun fact:
Nahida is confirmed to say the second most lines in the entire game behind Paimon.
They are degen Bros 🤣😂
I wonder if Aether and Lumine are alternate universe versions of each other and not actually twins, so that would explain why one twin is part of this Teyvat, and the other is considered a descender 🤔
1:08:00 I think when the Sustainer of the Heavenly Principle took our sibling (Aether or Lumine) she might sent our sibling to the Teyvat 500yrs ago and then she sent us to the current Teyvat. That might be the reason why our sibling already knew about world of Teyvat and has recorded from the Irminsul.
I know this quest is very old and maybe you are not confused anymore regarding this but Heavenly principles, first descender and phanes are the same person. Even if they are different then Phanes is supposed to be the shade. Unknown god is not Heavenly principles, she's the *Sustainer* of heavenly principles.
Watch my recent Natlan theory video. I’m well informed now compared to this two year old video
@@MurderofBirdsImpact I am sorry but I personally don't watch theory videos since that would override my own theories and experience of the game. I have recently gotten to know you, and from what I watched so far I am sure you cooked 🔥
1:04:03 Lmao!
My theory is one of twin is just a clone of the other
I was outright dismissing your theory on the traveler being copied from Lumine but then- I got chills when you mentioned Albedo because I remembered that potion he had the Traveler drink to verify his internal energy processing, and then when we left he looked at the remnants of the vial saying something was similar to him?? help???
Alright good thing I save screenshots of these things. He said: "Those born of earth are bound by its imperfections, but those born of chalk are free of impurities... You and I are alike, both composed of a substance that has yet to be fully defined"
You might be onto something (??? maybe??) there, though exactly in which direction it goes I'm not sure. Might just be referring to the traveler being a descendant from beyond Teyvat and nothing else.
(no idea if anything else was made clear after Fontaine, I haven't set foot there yet, so it's my take lacking that)
Its canon guys, the hoyo devs didnt do dehya dirty by making her kit bad. It was her own wish, she wanted to put herself to the test, being OP as fuck would have made everything way too easy for her, so she chose to do everything the hard way.
I have a theory that our sibling cause the war 5000 years ago and not celestia.
Need your opinion Arnold
I don't know much about the lore, but I wanted to ask
If one of the sibling is the descender, do you think there is time loop in this game? Since we chose one of the sibling (assuming Aether) in the beginning, what about the players who chose Lumine? You think somewhere in the future we would come to a moment where we return on time (back on the beginning, but as Lumine) but the difference would be we already know what would happen.
I don't know if this comment makes sense, but I really love the concept of time travelling
1:04:04 *vine boom*
I do want to say that irmunsul only makes up the history of teyvat therefore Lumine shouldnt be in irmunsul its like how even when fate is changed in irmunsul it doesnt effect us because we are not of this world therefore if she was not of this world nothing would be recorded of her in irmunsul and tampering with it would not effect her memories this voiceline is proof that somehow lumine has become intigrated with the world despite not being apart of it i have my own personal theory that our abyss twin isnt even real the leylines of the world are meant to grant wishes in caribert we learn the gods responded to the summoning of lumine i assume that we came to teyvat to look for our sister and the heavenly principles granted our wish of wanting to find our sister and therefore responded by summoning a creation like our sister for us to go on this journey and find it would explain why this is only the teyvat chapter because in the end we will learn she isnt real and continue on to the next world to find her
correction it wasnt caribet we learn this it was the archon quest digging into irmunsul with character
I'm calling It
Dain Is the true Brother of lumine while aether Is adopted
I would like to see you playing honkai impact, Upload your gameplay i wanna see it 😑😑😑
When the time is right, I'll be sure to do so.
