For some reason, I can’t see Arla as someone who could betray Lyney, Lynette, Freminet, and the other kids of the Hearth. But I can absolutely see her betraying the Tsaritsa and other Harbingers.
Well !! If you are betraying Tsaritsa then you are in your right head and how funny people don't want to see Tsaritsa fail but want to see Harbingers fail
She wont betray the kids simply because she never actually cared for them u cant betray the tools you use shes literally said to only care for herself like not once moment do we see her actually care for the kids the bit where she saved lynette is too vague we dont know her motives in doing it and Everytime she actually says something nice to them its in regard to their usefulness to her its literally said she kills kids who escape from the orphanage theres a whole world / side quest about it in inazuma And wanderer describes her as a wolf in sheeps clothing and childe says shes out right insane and would betray people for her own benefit sure they can be maybe lying but if 2 harbingers talk about her as this manipulative wolf in sheeps clothing who only cares for herself its definitely a sign
With that periheri book it seems obvious now that the house of the hearth originated in khaenriah, pierro has just shifted it's purpose to being more than just finding a descender amoungst the wandering beings that enter the world, it could also mean that the traveller is actually going to be protected by the fatui since they seem instrumental to their plan. The struggle for pierro is going to be to convince the traveller to go along with the fatui's plan, but depending what it is, that might be easy.

THANK YOU FOR SAYING IT! 4.5 not only brought us the lore-heavy book series but it also brought some mentions of Dornman Port with Eula and Beidou's visit during the alchemy event! I'm convinced that Eula or Beidou will play a role in that region once it releases just because it seems like both of them visit the port often. Anyways, great video!!
It's said somewhere that the inverted statue from we will be reunited was apparently smuggled from dorman port and somehow eula and yanfei got involved in it
@@pinoystepmaster Too bad. The fact that you think every update needs to be as exciting as the archon quest updates says a lot about your ability to understand how long it takes to make a game as big as Genshin.
@@catdownthestreet I said literally NOTHING else but that the patch is dry and you are accusing me of all this. You can still enjoy genshin while acknowledging that this update is nothing special
There’s this character from Perinheri called “Angelica”, and if memory serves well, she descended from a line of priests. Her nation lost to Deus Auri (Zhongli), but she refused to live under his reign, so she left and went to Perinheri’s Kingdom. She used three different identities throughout the story, the first one being a young lady from Liyue (when she met Perinheri and his friend), then a witch (when his friend got turned into what was most likely a hilichurl), and finally, “freedom”. With one of Arlecchino’s appellations being “Father” (a sacred function), I wonder if she and Angelica are one and the same, or maybe a manifestation of some sort.
😭😭 I hope I don’t sound mean, but that song isn’t originally created by Hoyo for Kafka. It’s more like a remix, and the base is Winter, by an awesome composer called Antonio Vivaldi. I highly recommend all of the Four Seasons orchestra!! All the pieces are just stunning to listen to
@@JulesVante No,no, you don't sound mean to me. Appreciate for your Correction and mentioning. In defense of myself, Why would I write down Kafka theme instead of the original orchestra name? Because it is short and well-known to Kafka fan. (No offense to original orchestra tho)
Fun fact: the super original Arlecchino in the commedia dell'arte is originated from a cunning, conniving carachter, that was often also called "The prince of Demons" and his multicolor clothes come from the idea that he is dressed up in the souls of people he conned into going to hell.
I also saw that the original Arlecchino is a demon but was decided to be turned into a play stock character. Genshin devs could be going with that part
A fact that rappresents that Arlecchino (from commedia) is a master of disguises in the french version is the fact that he's actually a "maschera" (a character who people dress up as) in the italian holiday of Carnevale! I'm italian, and I'm so happy to see our culture rappresented in media
fr i found the perinheri book like 2 days ago and couldnt find ANY video about it and thought i was trippin lolll straight up khaenriah lore had me hyped ngl. cant wait for u to cover it more into depth
Praise you for reading the lore so I don't have to 🙏 I can see why people go so hard for Father. She's been the first character I've really been excited for since Neuvillette / Furina
You're so knowledgeable that you can pioneer a program on the lore of Genshin Impact at a top university. Or write a doctoral thesis on "The Genhin Impact Lore and its cultural significance". Hats off to you.
In MC voice lines, where we have small conversation with Paimon. There one “about tribes” (iirc) that suggests that MC does know/remember something about Eclipse tribe.
It's always a treat to get long form content from you! I've gotta go pick up those books soon, that sounds like an interesting read! Thank you for summarizing it all so neatly
Hey Minsleif! I don't know if you did a video about Venti statue on Mondstadt but if you didn't can you do one? You know there is a writing under Venti statue says "Gateway to Celestia". Also, people think that the loading screen when we open the game is Celestia and that loading screen is actually on top of Mondstadt. We can't reach there without cheats or bugs because it's soooo far up in the sky but it's there. Interesting topic don't you think? I wanna hear your thoughts and theories about this.
That Wanderer and Childe edits at 15:38 and 15:44 were genius. I really really liked how you put their video at left and their lines at right. I appreciate details like this. Good job!
Your lore videos are simply amazing and you explain possible connections and theories so well. Genshin lore is really deep and interesting but incredibly tedious to work out... So thank you for explaining it for us all!
There is this theory on youtube that all ppl with pyro visions had to fight for their „throne“ with some previous holder, or their ancestor, and here we are, Arlecchino also fits this theory perfectly! And author of that video came to that conclusion (also aboutother elements) because the main feature of vision holders is that they share some similarity with the corresponding archons‘ biography. So yeah, definitely in Natlan there will be some throne succession plot, I‘m now convinced his theory is the most legit about visions‘ criteria. That was a little off topic but yeah, your video gave me this insight
17:40 the “she won’t be working hard for people to forgive her” I can’t even deny this. Yet again, you fixate on Dainslief, Arlecchino has been mine for years XD
Since you mentioned the 3rd descender, you should check out "My Name For Now's" video on why Dain is the 3rd descender. The battle pass cutscene isn't about Aether and Lumine.
Have you read Fall of the Faded Castle? It includes a figure with piercing eyes, dark robes, and a connection to a blood moon that is described as baleful.
I'm a little late for the vid, so don't know if it's gonna be read, but when you mentioned the Descender theory because of Pierro's frase in her drip marketing, I think the frase refers to how her whole motive in the story to this date was to challenge Fontaine's prophecy (which I interpreted as her trying to challenge "fate"), and it is also said repeatedly that she will use everything in her power to try and stop this prophecy, so she would've "earned" the right to challenge fate somehow. Great video too!
Tbh I do like Idea of her still being evil yet caring on her own way . Especially for Hearth siblings .She ofcourse has her own not moral ways of doing it. Someone can be evil yet still show care for someone.
This really reminds me of a story I’ve read in my childhood called „der standhafte Zinnsoldat/The steadfast Tin Soldier“ (German. I don’t know whether or not it’s related but at 7:20 (background video) it’s exactly the same as in the story.
I'VE BEEN STARVING FOR SOMEONE TO SPEAK ABOUT THIS BOOK as soon as I read it I immediately knew that this was massive, glad one of my favourite lore creators finally did it!
No!! you are right on the descender consciousness thing. why? well, we know rank 123 are god level beings(how strong as gods? stronger than archons? we don't know). And arlecchino is 4th. now the problem with this ranking is..well a few things. - Number 5 pulcinellla is an elf like creature. Only two other elvish creatures that we have seen so far are...well Rukkhadevata and Klee(and by extension Alice). Now assuming that there is a race of people like elves, and one of them is supposed to be the avatar of irminsul which happened to be rukkhadevata. But even this connection aside, this would kind of mean that elves have the potential to reach the realm of gods given enough time, as evident with Alice's abilities and Pulcinella's high rank(I mean same can be said for Yokai and Adepti..if strong enough, they can be considered gods like Zhongli was) - Number 6(former) was scaramouche, who was a suitable container for gnosis, he eventually attained artificial godhood too, its just that the plan was thwarted otherwise his god form might have been perfected eventually. You see what i m getting at? Harbingers 1-3 have attained levels of god. Harbingers 4-6 showed "potential" to achieve that godly power. They just are not up there YET to be classified in the same tier as 1,2 and 3. I mean think of it this way, Scaramouche who "became" a god, was ranked below arlecchino and Pulcinella. He was a puppet from divine origin and with dottore's intervention it was almost certain that he will attain godhood someday. then why rank him so low? Simply because Arlechhino and Pulcinella simply have more potential than him. Pulcinella has yet to step into the territory of god powers. and Arlecchino..well arlecchino could just be a hilichurl body husk with the consciousness of descender. Thus she has the potential to be a godly being IF she gets a more suitable body, but for now, she isn't there YET.
arlecchino and columbina are the most linked characters of the game from the few informations we have about both of them with the christian symbolism, comedia dell arte lovers, both of them seem to be referenced in perinheri etc etc i wanna know what thats abt hyv pls give us smth
Aah can't wait for 4.6! Am guaranteed and 97 wishes saved so far! Arlecchino will be mine, first harbinger and first limited Fontain character that I'll have.
Should we take Wanderer's and Childe's word at face value though? I mean Wanderer actively disses all of the Harbingers with little regard for their accomplishments. He's not one to care for learning about his associates considering he ditched them for power and when he WAS serving them was used mostly as a weapon in and out of the Abyss. He was also fooled by Dottore as well. So I'd say the Wanderer is definitely our most reliable source of judging characters. And Childe is the lowest rank who only cares about power, so much so even La Signoria fooled him with the plans to get get Gnosis from Liyue. I get that we have to analyze everything, but I'll always say this; just because someone says something doesn't mean it's factual. Characters can lie and deceive.
when it comes to Arle's lore we already know some more hints besides in-game content, namely "dreams" that give us a "hint" at visuals of her abilities, passives, ability, passive and constellation names along with their flavor text etc.
If Arrlechino is betraying Tsaritsa then she is sane and right just live freely like Scaramouche she maybe wants house of hearth to be free from fatui and for that if Arrlechino betraying Tsaritsa, Traveller will still see her as hero.
Thank you Minsleif 😊 I haven't played genshin since Baizhu's banner so I'm lost on where the story is currently on. This is very helpful because while I don't play the genshin anymore, I really like the game's lore and this video is godsend cuz I saw the Father doing flips with a scythe and I kinda wanna go back in game just to get her. This makes me wanna go back to the game more.
You might want to consider that either there was no previous Harbinger heading the House of Hearth or that if there was it was Arlecchono herself, and she pretended to replace herself because of some sort of split personality or twin or similar, just as we have seen in Inazuma and Sumeru.
Am I the only one thinking Angelica could be Columbina? And Per-inheri sounds similar to Pierre? And they have another one cursed, where Arlecchino has black hands like Carterpillar... What if they are the ones from the story
15:34 they're right though, even Arlecchino herself, said that if she will ever be in opposing sides she won't hesitate to destroy Cryo Archon. She's most disloyal fatui harbinger. I find that ironic if comparing it to house of the hearth forbidden rule.
Beautiful video as always, I just can't wait to pull our new Fatui harbinger! P.S. Little reminder that "Fatui" is also an italian word, and it's actually pronounced "Fàtui" instead of "Fatùi" like they always do in the English dub. Japanese dub pronounces it correctly tho. Something "Fatuo" means something insignificant, inconclusive, superficial, frivolous. It may refer to how the Fatui are, in the end, just a tool for the Tsaritsa's plan of rebellion with little to no other purpose?
hi Minsleif!! amazing video, love when genshin does this kind of stuff cause i’ve lowkey been starving for more khaenriah related lore lmao. one question - where did you find the Perinheri book? i would really like to read it!
16:53 Arlecchino fan here, If you don’t want spoilers for her constellation, stop reading: The burned claw as mentioned in 16:53 below Columbina’s sigil is her confirmed constellation.
It's still a dry patch tho but yeah you're the 1st one to actually agree that this book is a metaphor for the events that took place 500yr ago and the red moon is probably the abyssal will which is mostly depicted as a serpent with red eyes and the book even mentions that the child saw something enormous like a giant red eye Also if arlecchino is similar to perinheri then it's totally in view that she can also alter her figure and distort herself to look like that of a human And always remember eclipse Dynasty is related to alberich clan who became royals of khaenri'ah after irmin and clothar is one who worships the Abyss dubbing our sibling as the abyss itself Also fatui are said to rival that of god but doesn't mean they can go against a fully fledged god and arlecchino character is that of a two faced being and her hiding her powers from fatui to an extent is a pretty acceptable and she isn't evil but i would say she is someone who only likes people she raise and her constellation is that of a purifying fire and abyss also wants to burn the world similar to tsaritsa and pierro what more is that i believe fatui will betray the tsaritsa a god who stopped loving has yet to face the betrayal of her own obsession and love is most of the time related to betrayal in folklores and myths
A dry patch if you don't care about any of the content that is being released this patch. The moment this fandom learns that "what is a dry patch" is subjective is the moment I find peace. What this patch is is a moment of down period since they're not releasing a lot of content this patch, which will always be a blessing for those who need those down periods, despite what players heavily invested/addicted to Genshin say.
@@TheGeekyRedMage i don't get it why you're ranting about your opinion here but i am not at all addicted to this game I've been away from this game for at least 2 months now and only occasionally come back if i find something interesting to me most of the patches are dry as I don't find them intresting The word dry patch itself is very subjective to me this patch is that way because i came back and didn't find anything intresting so obviously im gonna say what i felt like if you're very well versed in such things i suggest you post that comment to someone who is constantly playing this game not someone like me who doesn't even bother with 60% of the content i only play for characters i find interesting and lore that's it thank you for your comment but i hold my opinion strongly since i do not claim to be a part of genshin's community
Even the lore explainer are confusing. Maybe it's the multiple competing theories, poorly separated, that confuse me. I never really know where we're going... @Minsleif have you considered overlaying an onscreen outline over the flavor imagery at key points throughout your videos? It would really help me understand things.
Maann i REALLY thought that the hand of glory had something to do with crepus's delusion cuz like the similarities between these fwo is strange as hell
for the orphanage for the outlanders/descenders in the book, if arlecchino is from that orphanage, or just has ties to it, i would say arlecchino is a counterpart to one of the siblings, whether it be the abyss sibling, or the sibling we choose to play as changes the reason. the reason for the abyss sibling is because they are not considered a descender, but yet we know they aren't from teyvat.. but yet they're in irminsul, so arlecchino as their counterpart would be glitching and remember scaramouche as scaramouche. and the reason for the one we pick, well a counterpart for someone who ISN'T in irminsul wouldn't be in irminsul either, right? i know that contradicts the abyss sibling thing, but how come the abyss sibling is in irminsul but our traveler isn't?
1:05 THEY GOT THE EVANGELION COLLAB?!?!?! It's been so long since I've heard about anything related to Tower of Fantasy, and the first time I hear about them in forever, I find out they have an Evangelion collab. lmao
when people talk about arle saving the whole village we never consider the fact that maybe it were fatui who poisoned the water and caused the commotion, like even navia pointed that they were conveniently close and so willing to help? yeah sure
There are some lines that confuses me after reading Perinheri. "And as for me? I betrayed no one, not for a moment, until my god died, so I too bear this curse not. But you now see who I truly am, yes?" "I am freedom, that which has broken free of fate. This is what Hleobrant sought in agony, but that which is now yours for the taking. And I hope this was mentioned in the summary.
There isn't also another Fontainian book speaking about the red moon? If I remember correctly, it is a green book speaking about an hominous figure that purge a king and his castle during a party. It should be a reference to Edgar Allan Poe's tale of the masquerade of red death
14:10 I think the knave can care and have altruistic motives (at least when it comes to Fontaine). However I will say she seems like a saint compared to how Signora is portrayed in the story (yes I know she has a tragic backstory but it’s really about how you act rather then what you endured that matters in the current story)

I used to play this game from the very release date but it has some serious issues, crashing very often on non-gpu intel processors.
I was surprised of TOF sponsoring a GI video!!! 😂😂😂
Where did you even get all the footage of her past what?
I just remembered, in German the house of the heart is called Haus des Kamins which translates to house of the chimney
Tower of fantasy sponsored a video regarding genshin. Sounds almost poetic
they also sponsored i win to lose’s video about powercreep in genshin and a lot of people found it really ironic lol

For some reason, I can’t see Arla as someone who could betray Lyney, Lynette, Freminet, and the other kids of the Hearth. But I can absolutely see her betraying the Tsaritsa and other Harbingers.
Well !! If you are betraying Tsaritsa then you are in your right head and how funny people don't want to see Tsaritsa fail but want to see Harbingers fail
She wont betray the kids simply because she never actually cared for them u cant betray the tools you use shes literally said to only care for herself like not once moment do we see her actually care for the kids the bit where she saved lynette is too vague we dont know her motives in doing it and Everytime she actually says something nice to them its in regard to their usefulness to her its literally said she kills kids who escape from the orphanage theres a whole world / side quest about it in inazuma And wanderer describes her as a wolf in sheeps clothing and childe says shes out right insane and would betray people for her own benefit sure they can be maybe lying but if 2 harbingers talk about her as this manipulative wolf in sheeps clothing who only cares for herself its definitely a sign
It’s almost like it’s been said in lore that Arlecchino would betray the tsaritsa.. 🤔🤔
She's the type that genuinely cares for others, and she was the only harbinger that mourned signora's death.
because you heard that! Childe says that word by word
With that periheri book it seems obvious now that the house of the hearth originated in khaenriah, pierro has just shifted it's purpose to being more than just finding a descender amoungst the wandering beings that enter the world, it could also mean that the traveller is actually going to be protected by the fatui since they seem instrumental to their plan.

i was starving for arlecchino content. thank you
Btw top 3 Harbinger ranking is:
3. Columbina
2. Dottore
1. Capitano
you’re so good at this
I swear if lore content creators cook something, it always brings me interest in genshin lore. Minsleif and Murderofbirda are my fav atm
Your lore videos are simply amazing and you explain possible connections and theories so well. Genshin lore is really deep and interesting but incredibly tedious to work out... So thank you for explaining it for us all!

I don't ser dains as a descender and less than a dead descender
The alchemy event is ONE OF THE BEST EVENTS EVER, in ANY game period so its ignorant for people to say were in a dry patch
Have you read Fall of the Faded Castle? It includes a figure with piercing eyes, dark robes, and a connection to a blood moon that is described as baleful.
I love the narration and pronunciation
Yeah, the dry patch allegation are insane! They just drop the best event in game (potion simulator) I'm addicted.
I'm grateful for lore enthusiasts 🙏 Pretty cool to hear about all the details I miss
I love the lore and theory videos!!!! Can't wait to see what might come true
right that makes it so much fun!!! even if things turn out wrong haha (and I've def had wrong theories!)
I am so sure she's the dark figure described in the fall of the faded castle book, there's just too many similarities to be a coincidence
This book is insane 😱😱
I'm a little late for the vid, so don't know if it's gonna be read, but when you mentioned the Descender theory because of Pierro's frase in her drip marketing, I think the frase refers to how her whole motive in the story to this date was to challenge Fontaine's prophecy (which I interpreted as her trying to challenge "fate"), and it is also said repeatedly that she will use everything in her power to try and stop this prophecy, so she would've "earned" the right to challenge fate somehow. Great video too!
The thing is, why do Childe and Wanderer call her insane? Is she actually clinically insane or is it because she’s so “morally grey”?
Doesn't matter, all you gotta know is she is daddy mommy

well, we know rank 123 are god level beings(how strong as gods? stronger than archons? we don't know). And arlecchino is 4th.
now the problem with this ranking is..well a few things.
- Number 5 pulcinellla is an elf like creature. Only two other elvish creatures that we have seen so far are...well Rukkhadevata and Klee(and by extension Alice). Now assuming that there is a race of people like elves, and one of them is supposed to be the avatar of irminsul which happened to be rukkhadevata. But even this connection aside, this would kind of mean that elves have the potential to reach the realm of gods given enough time, as evident with Alice's abilities and Pulcinella's high rank(I mean same can be said for Yokai and Adepti..if strong enough, they can be considered gods like Zhongli was)
- Number 6(former) was scaramouche, who was a suitable container for gnosis, he eventually attained artificial godhood too, its just that the plan was thwarted otherwise his god form might have been perfected eventually.
You see what i m getting at? Harbingers 1-3 have attained levels of god. Harbingers 4-6 showed "potential" to achieve that godly power. They just are not up there YET to be classified in the same tier as 1,2 and 3. I mean think of it this way, Scaramouche who "became" a god, was ranked below arlecchino and Pulcinella. He was a puppet from divine origin and with dottore's intervention it was almost certain that he will attain godhood someday. then why rank him so low? Simply because Arlechhino and Pulcinella simply have more potential than him.
Pulcinella has yet to step into the territory of god powers. and Arlecchino..well arlecchino could just be a hilichurl body husk with the consciousness of descender. Thus she has the potential to be a godly being IF she gets a more suitable body, but for now, she isn't there YET.
arlecchino and columbina are the most linked characters of the game from the few informations we have about both of them with the christian symbolism, comedia dell arte lovers, both of them seem to be referenced in perinheri etc etc i wanna know what thats abt hyv pls give us smth
the other Arlecchino is currently dressed up as Eula
Aah can't wait for 4.6! Am guaranteed and 97 wishes saved so far! Arlecchino will be mine, first harbinger and first limited Fontain character that I'll have.
Should we take Wanderer's and Childe's word at face value though?
I mean Wanderer actively disses all of the Harbingers with little regard for their accomplishments. He's not one to care for learning about his associates considering he ditched them for power and when he WAS serving them was used mostly as a weapon in and out of the Abyss. He was also fooled by Dottore as well. So I'd say the Wanderer is definitely our most reliable source of judging characters.
And Childe is the lowest rank who only cares about power, so much so even La Signoria fooled him with the plans to get get Gnosis from Liyue.
I get that we have to analyze everything, but I'll always say this; just because someone says something doesn't mean it's factual. Characters can lie and deceive.
Navia knows she isn’t trustworthy.
when it comes to Arle's lore we already know some more hints besides in-game content, namely "dreams" that give us a "hint" at visuals of her abilities, passives, ability, passive and constellation names along with their flavor text etc.
AT LAST!!! A POV from Minsleif. ❤❤
Arlecchino might betray the fatui but she will not betray the children of the house of Hearth.
i can't wait for arlo's story quest and get disappointed if there are no lore drops 😊😊😊
15:08 maybe arrlechino should have been with the fountaine police
If Arrlechino is betraying Tsaritsa then she is sane and right just live freely like Scaramouche she maybe wants house of hearth to be free from fatui and for that if Arrlechino betraying Tsaritsa, Traveller will still see her as hero.
Thank you Minsleif 😊
I haven't played genshin since Baizhu's banner so I'm lost on where the story is currently on. This is very helpful because while I don't play the genshin anymore, I really like the game's lore and this video is godsend cuz I saw the Father doing flips with a scythe and I kinda wanna go back in game just to get her. This makes me wanna go back to the game more.
You might want to consider that either there was no previous Harbinger heading the House of Hearth or that if there was it was Arlecchono herself, and she pretended to replace herself because of some sort of split personality or twin or similar, just as we have seen in Inazuma and Sumeru.
I find it funny how there's a HSR song (Sparkle's theme) in a Genshin lore + theory video
Good video btw
what if perinheri was actually the abyss twin? they were reborn and is now a part of teyvat, but they died in a deifferent way?
i love you minsleif keep doing your videos !!! 🤭💕
Am I the only one thinking Angelica could be Columbina? And Per-inheri sounds similar to Pierre? And they have another one cursed, where Arlecchino has black hands like Carterpillar...
What if they are the ones from the story
Arlecchino is surrounded by mysteries. From what I've seen and heard she not too bad and not too good but in between.
15:34 they're right though, even Arlecchino herself, said that if she will ever be in opposing sides she won't hesitate to destroy Cryo Archon. She's most disloyal fatui harbinger. I find that ironic if comparing it to house of the hearth forbidden rule.
My final theory justification for Arlecchino Basil Elton
1:00 (I know its just the backgroundmusic, but) 🥨🍻 GERMANY MENTIONED 🍻🥨
7:10 It's strange that Arlechinno uses the same kind of elemental power as the unknown God... By creating that kind of red portals...
8:00 her theme for her tea party with furina is called hearthfire
Pierro is not actually number 1 its Il Capitano while Pierro is the director or leader of the Harbingers
Yeah Pierro isn't a Harbinger anymore.
Love your voice 👍💙 cant wait for arlecchino 160 wishes saved
YIPEEEEEE ARLECCHINO LORE THANK YOU❤❤❤
Beautiful video as always, I just can't wait to pull our new Fatui harbinger!
P.S. Little reminder that "Fatui" is also an italian word, and it's actually pronounced "Fàtui" instead of "Fatùi" like they always do in the English dub. Japanese dub pronounces it correctly tho. Something "Fatuo" means something insignificant, inconclusive, superficial, frivolous. It may refer to how the Fatui are, in the end, just a tool for the Tsaritsa's plan of rebellion with little to no other purpose?
hi Minsleif!! amazing video, love when genshin does this kind of stuff cause i’ve lowkey been starving for more khaenriah related lore lmao. one question - where did you find the Perinheri book? i would really like to read it!
16:53 Arlecchino fan here,
If you don’t want spoilers for her constellation, stop reading:
The burned claw as mentioned in 16:53 below Columbina’s sigil is her confirmed constellation.
i hear khaenriah, im immediately interested
It's still a dry patch tho but yeah you're the 1st one to actually agree that this book is a metaphor for the events that took place 500yr ago and the red moon is probably the abyssal will which is mostly depicted as a serpent with red eyes and the book even mentions that the child saw something enormous like a giant red eye
Also if arlecchino is similar to perinheri then it's totally in view that she can also alter her figure and distort herself to look like that of a human
And always remember eclipse Dynasty is related to alberich clan who became royals of khaenri'ah after irmin and clothar is one who worships the Abyss dubbing our sibling as the abyss itself
Also fatui are said to rival that of god but doesn't mean they can go against a fully fledged god and arlecchino character is that of a two faced being and her hiding her powers from fatui to an extent is a pretty acceptable and she isn't evil but i would say she is someone who only likes people she raise and her constellation is that of a purifying fire and abyss also wants to burn the world similar to tsaritsa and pierro what more is that i believe fatui will betray the tsaritsa a god who stopped loving has yet to face the betrayal of her own obsession and love is most of the time related to betrayal in folklores and myths
A dry patch if you don't care about any of the content that is being released this patch. The moment this fandom learns that "what is a dry patch" is subjective is the moment I find peace.
What this patch is is a moment of down period since they're not releasing a lot of content this patch, which will always be a blessing for those who need those down periods, despite what players heavily invested/addicted to Genshin say.
@@TheGeekyRedMage i don't get it why you're ranting about your opinion here but i am not at all addicted to this game I've been away from this game for at least 2 months now and only occasionally come back if i find something interesting to me most of the patches are dry as I don't find them intresting
The word dry patch itself is very subjective to me this patch is that way because i came back and didn't find anything intresting so obviously im gonna say what i felt like if you're very well versed in such things i suggest you post that comment to someone who is constantly playing this game not someone like me who doesn't even bother with 60% of the content i only play for characters i find interesting and lore that's it thank you for your comment but i hold my opinion strongly since i do not claim to be a part of genshin's community
Now that we're in Natlan and Perinheri also talks about resurrection, i wonder will it have some connection to Natlan too 🤔
Will you be covering more star rail lore in the future?
Even the lore explainer are confusing. Maybe it's the multiple competing theories, poorly separated, that confuse me. I never really know where we're going... @Minsleif have you considered overlaying an onscreen outline over the flavor imagery at key points throughout your videos? It would really help me understand things.
Love you coping about Dainslief lmao- that’s been me with arlecchino for at least three years until now lmao
Maann i REALLY thought that the hand of glory had something to do with crepus's delusion cuz like the similarities between these fwo is strange as hell
Arlecchino is a very interesting character
❤❤❤❤❤❤ so much effort was put into this video ❤❤❤❤❤
for the orphanage for the outlanders/descenders in the book, if arlecchino is from that orphanage, or just has ties to it, i would say arlecchino is a counterpart to one of the siblings, whether it be the abyss sibling, or the sibling we choose to play as changes the reason. the reason for the abyss sibling is because they are not considered a descender, but yet we know they aren't from teyvat.. but yet they're in irminsul, so arlecchino as their counterpart would be glitching and remember scaramouche as scaramouche. and the reason for the one we pick, well a counterpart for someone who ISN'T in irminsul wouldn't be in irminsul either, right? i know that contradicts the abyss sibling thing, but how come the abyss sibling is in irminsul but our traveler isn't?
Great vid!
Despite your tagline, I wanna go read the lore now
I love arlecchino ❤❤❤❤❤
Babe wake up, Minsleif uploaded another banger lore video
Literally one of my best lore channels out there. Sometimes, just relaxing and linking points with minsleif video is just the vibe
1:05 THEY GOT THE EVANGELION COLLAB?!?!?! It's been so long since I've heard about anything related to Tower of Fantasy, and the first time I hear about them in forever, I find out they have an Evangelion collab. lmao
when people talk about arle saving the whole village we never consider the fact that maybe it were fatui who poisoned the water and caused the commotion, like even navia pointed that they were conveniently close and so willing to help? yeah sure
There are some lines that confuses me after reading Perinheri.
"And as for me? I betrayed no one, not for a moment, until my god died, so I too bear this curse not. But you now see who I truly am, yes?"
"I am freedom, that which has broken free of fate. This is what Hleobrant sought in agony, but that which is now yours for the taking.
And I hope this was mentioned in the summary.
There isn't also another Fontainian book speaking about the red moon? If I remember correctly, it is a green book speaking about an hominous figure that purge a king and his castle during a party. It should be a reference to Edgar Allan Poe's tale of the masquerade of red death
hey is it just me? Or at 2:38 the girl with blue or light blue eyes, the one who seemed to be sitting I kinda think she looks like Noelle
“Are you dead?” (Chick fil a ad)
14:10 I think the knave can care and have altruistic motives (at least when it comes to Fontaine). However I will say she seems like a saint compared to how Signora is portrayed in the story (yes I know she has a tragic backstory but it’s really about how you act rather then what you endured that matters in the current story)
too lazy to play the new patch, this channel is saving my life and time :) many thanks
The Dainsleif butt showing up cracks me up LMAO
WE’RE GOING TO BE EATING GOOD WITH 4.6 LORE
