    Absolutely LOSING my mind at the last part (around 29:20 ) because Dainsleif’s constellation is an ouroborus. His title is also Bough-Keeper which means tree-keeper and you’ve already theorized that Dainsleif would go to the Irminsul trees to answer Lumine’s questions about Teyvat and the world. So using your theory, Dainsleif is the snake guarding the tree of life and the philosopher’s stone/child. This could add another layer to his line, “Defeat me and command me to step aside to prove that you are worthy enough to save her.” That he says in the Travail trailer.

      Because maybe they are going around from world to world in search of this genesis pearl (that can bring back the tree of life Maybe*) so that they can take it back to their own world and revive the dead tree of life.
      And also Lumine is referred as Princess by the abyssal creatures kinda nodding towards the line from BP that says the first heir was corrupted and believed herself to be the queen of this world. Also she was the first one to wake up in teyvat.

    POST-VIDEO NOTES + CORRECTIONS:
    - So the picture of the emerald tablet (illustration) with the triquetra on it is not the one that's supposed to be here. The triquetra is not in the original (historical) illustration, but was added later for flair in a TV show. I was trying to get a higher res version of the illustration and did not notice the difference. I have since found a better one on... wikipedia. Go figure. Here it is for those of you who want to see it - upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6b/Houghton_Typ_620.09.482_Heinrich_Khunrath%2C_Amphitheatrvm_sapientiae_aeternae.jpg
    - A Triskelle isn't a uniquely Irish symbol, it's an ancient Celtic symbol.
    - I mentioned this in the video but your mileage will vary when it comes to interpreting the Kabballah. I wanted to clarify that I am specifically referencing Hermetic Qabalah which is quite a bit different from Orthodox Kabbalah. Neither interpretation is necessarily wrong as they are both correct within their own contexts. I like to use metaphors I think a lot of people can understand, so this is also including my own interpretations. For example, traditionally, Chockmah means Wisdom whereas Binah means Understanding , but those are too abstract for me for practical use. So I liken Chockmah to a seed that is only fully usable when planted in the Ground(Binah), or else it will not sprout and grow. I treated each Sephiroth this way.
    The following is taken straight from wikipedia's tree of life page, just as an example of how I reached these conclusions, "After "Binah", the universe gets down to the business of building the materials it will need to fulfill its evolution and be creating new combinations of those materials until it is so dense that, by the stage of "Malkuth", the initial pure limitless energy has solidified into the physical universe."

    Not super related to the majority of the video (which was great by the way! fantastic work) but if the Genesis Pearl is a seed, and the word for "god" and seed is the same in Hilichurlian, do you think there could be a possible connection between the two? It's shown that hilichurls can harness the elements, so it's understandable that they would view the source of the vessels through which elemental energy flows as divine. That combined with the theory that at least some hilichurls are corrupted Khaenri'ahns would have interesting implications as well

    8. Hod (Hod) [הוד] = Glory or Splendor
    9 Yesod (Yessod) [יסוד] = Element or Base of a principle {Geo Archon ?}

      Chesed more accurately translates to kindness. We don't have a concept of 'grace'. Grace is a christian concept. Source: I am jewish, I was raised jewish.

I haven’t watched the video in a while, but I’m pretty sure one/all of the moon goddesses are now dead, which is why the moon in Teyvat doesn’t have phases.

  • @TheCheeseman1983
    @TheCheeseman1983 Před 3 lety +19

    Love the video! I have a few scattered musings that may spark some ideas.
    First, in the Pale Princess, after the Prince of Light is betrayed and killed, his body is specifically noted as being stashed in a tree hole. I can’t help but suspect that this may be a metaphor for the the Irminsul tree, given the symbolism of the rest of the story.
    Next, what if the red cubes Lumine witnessed during the fall of Khaenri’ah are actually the souls/memories of the citizens being sealed inside the tree/leylines? After all, the Sustainer does seal the other twin into a cube in the opening. This may only be the most recent of such events, the tree may contain the anguished souls of countless innocents of past civilizations that have been unjustly imprisoned.
    If the previous speculation is true, what if the Abyss Order monsters weren’t the intended result of the gods’ interference, but rather an attempt on the part of the alchemists to escape such imprisonment, which ended up having (presumably) unintended consequences?
    It’s notable that the Abyssal Twin never actually says that the cursed form of the Abyss denizens was an act by the aggressors, merely that Dainsleif failed to prevent the kingdom’s destruction, and was forced to witness its citizens transform into monsters. The two events are only described as contemporary, not causally-linked.
    Assuming the previous conjectures are accurate, perhaps khemia is an attempt to harness the sealed power of the true creator/source of enlightenment, which is symbolically represented as the Genesis Pearl, sealed inside the earth and protected by a dangerous serpent (the Sustainer). The travelers were sent to “retrieve the pearl” insomuch as they are supposed to release the seal and restore the means by which people can escape the domination of the false gods/demiurge.

    • @TheCheeseman1983
      @TheCheeseman1983 Před 3 lety +5

      Another thought, what if the trees we see in the domains are petrified because the Sustainer/demiurge has tried to disable them? Perhaps they are attempting to control access to the tree’s power, using gnoses/visions as a means to siphon off that power and channel it into their own followers? Furthermore, what if the reason the traveler is capable of resonating with, and then controlling, elemental power is because that is actually the traveler’s power that had been stolen from them in the first place? Perhaps the reason the other twin seemingly has their power is because they already resonated with all the elements over the course of their journey, reclaiming the power that had been stolen from them?
      Smachurls are capable of wielding elemental power in a more primal way, from their stronger connection to the leylines. Abyss monsters may use Khaenri’ah technology to channel the Abyssal power to manipulate the elements. The Harbingers’ Delusion is likely modeled after the Khaenri’ah tech, but less regulated and safe.

    Your lore theories are always fascinating and the amount of research done is just amazing, I love them.
    Now it makes sense why and how Khaenriah - an underground civilization - becomes the most advanced civilization, by mastering the art of khemia a.k.a alchemy, since they are the closest to the alchemical tablets and the "alchemy-benches" (the irminsul trees), since alchemy itself is the "art of creating anything", and the theory that every (well not every, but majority) form of "power" in Teyvat is sourced from within the earth itself, becomes even more plausible.
    Also perhaps the advancement of Khaenriah contributed to the "sour-ness" of the irminsul tree, somehow it was being misused by the citizen of Khaenriah (which led to Khaenriah's demise), to the point that the tree;s thought became ominous, i think it is very likely that the "misuse" is related to the things that Dainsleif really hate (remember Albedo's trailer, where Dainsleif said that if Albedo were to make any mistake, Dainsleif will take matters into his own hands directly), which also supports the theory that Dainsleif is the one guarding the pearl.

    The inversed image at 12:32 reminds me more of a cobra than an owl, you can see the eyes, the hood and the pointy teeth so it could be a reference to the serpent in the story

    @Ventus1105 Před 2 lety +2

    Love the video, really highlights how much care has been taken in regards to the game when players can delve into lore this deep, things not everyone would appreciate as they just go about their day using their resin.
    I will say I was personally surprised when you mentioned the Sephiroth(Familiar with them via a different game called Lobotomy Corporation) but I should've expected it when dealing with the tree of life. Can't wait to see more from you!

  • @robertsanssouci2093
    @robertsanssouci2093 Před 3 lety +5

    My new theory is this; Dainsleif is looking to purify the world tree and that will unleash all the collective memories freeing the unknown god (the person he loves) from her corruption. The travelers are homunculus, just like Albedo, except their souls aren’t from Tevat. They’re from somewhere else. Someone is sending purification beings across the universe to occupy homunculus bodies and purify corrupted worlds. Worlds corrupted by Honkai

    • @robertsanssouci2093
      @robertsanssouci2093 Před 3 lety

      Furthermore; Dainsleif and the traveler are at odds because the traveler knows freeing the unknown god means one of the twins must absorb her powers to free her. And that will kill them. The sacrifice Dansleif is cursed from doing himself. Hence why it’s his punishment. Because he wants to do it himself but he cannot. So he needs one of the twins to die to free her. And the other twin would rather try to use the abyss power to fight her (won’t work). Meanwhile the being controlling the Unknown God is Gold. Who has also been corrupted. This is where Albedo comes in. Albedo will learn how to kill Gold.

    • @robertsanssouci2093
      @robertsanssouci2093 Před 3 lety

      And even more; This is why La Signora will fail. She believes she needs seven elements to defeat UG. This is wrong. You need the seven elements to be able to absorb the curse out of her. She’s doing it artificially by collecting gnosis. You do it naturally because you are made for this purpose.
      Oh and Tevat is a planet that has been encased by a giant wall to contain one of the Honkai. And it’s being observed externally almost like an experiment. Tevat will be the first planet to defeat one of the Honkai and it will be the universes first glimmer of hope

  • @moni9236
    @moni9236 Před 3 lety +5

    something I feel that you should know is that, out of the seven metals in alchemy, the one that represents the sun is Gold. along with the line about wisdom ascending and the current sumeru archon being the god of wisdom, this is leading me to think that Gold is the dendro archon. also, I think your theory about the emerald tablet might be proven right thanks to one of albedo’s talent descriptions. it reads:
    “This Geo bloom has an unusual property mirrored in the aim of alchemy. To rise from the earth, into the sky, and become the sun”
    loved your theory btw!

    some spoilers for the games (somewhat referenced) so....I'm watching this after completing all of the main quest story, and um Ashikai I love how this theory hit it on the head. Irminsul and how in the summer quest we find out that its basically dying and causing a withering. Oh my gosh, I am absolutely freaking out on this you did this a year before Sumeru even came out!!!

    "As above as is below" - The design is identical on top and bottom as it represents the duality and what we look for outside can be found within in us
    The emerald tablet script is vaguely similar to that of Tao De Cheng is terms of duality and connection.

    This sequence of videos goes deeper than the depths of the abyss...
    This is the 4th linked one in a row (even though I already read/thought about lots of lore before) that hooks me and I still need to go back to first one to finish it!
    I wonder if I'll manage to reach and get all stars on the last floor of this abyssal expedition and how I'll use "the condensed hopes and dreams of universes that once were" to "meet" or "entwine" the "fated".

  • @eranlevy1140
    @eranlevy1140 Před 2 lety +3

    Well, at 20:58, the story told by Venti for me represents very closely the story of the 2 siblings (the mc and her brother/his sister) and to why did the mc's sibling started to help the abyss. You can see a lot of things that sounds close to the story, like the hero thinking she's the queen of the kingdom of darkness (or you can say the literal name of the sibling "prince of the abyss") or the the part of a follower who already went in her footsteps (the mc). it doesn't look from the story that the followers actually knows what's her final goal actually is (except of general idea of returning the peal), the only thing Venti says is that "a second crowned has already taken up the PATH where the first had stumbled". Moreover Venti literally tells you "this is the story of YOUR JOURNEY, of your tale to be told" like it's literally tells you it's your story (as the follower). as for the kingdom, I will use the reference from another theory video (czcams.com/video/jqyWMId7x7c/video.html 2:08) that's talking about that the sibling were send by the true god to save the world of Teyvat, after the first sibling failed and became the prince of the abyss, the second sibling wakes up and start his/hers journey around the world of Teyvat. that's at least my theory about this cutscene, I hope you'll read it. I'll be happy to hear your idea about this theory. tnx anyways for reading!

    This theory was absolutely aMAZING. I love how thorough and interesting your videos are! Though i do have one question, when i was looking at the “owl” carving on the domain tablet, i also saw something that looked like a snake (with eyes and fangs and slender body). Could it be possible that the domain tablet is actually visually representing the snake on either side (above and below) of the pearl, almost as if its looping around/ protecting/entrapped around it like the battle pass story intro and this theory suggests?

  • @kallistiravenhurst5232
    @kallistiravenhurst5232 Před 2 lety +1

    Thing about the relation between fruit and seeds that might be neat for the theory:: the fruit can be viewed as either 'food' for the seed once it sprouts [assuming the fruit rotted around the seed] or as a lure to get an animal to relocate the seed into a better situation for growing. In a sense either way the fruit is used as a way to help the seed grow.
    Food for thought

  • @fayhills8934
    @fayhills8934 Před 5 měsíci

    I also think that the that we face is part of the transmutation process. Little bit like ingredients where the resin are the last one that we add to the mix. The circle in the center of the stone tablet can represents the space where the transmutation taking place. The triquetra with the broken part may refer to the third moon. The 4 "eyes" on top and on the bottom remind me to the portal that the abyss is using to move in all Tyvet.
