    Theorists, it's been a while since I talked about Genshin Impact and with the 2.5 update there is a new development I think I should cover. We need to talk about Tsaritsa, the Cryo Archon of Snezhnaya. Now, we the player have never actually SEEN her, but boy does she hold a lot of implications as to the future of the game's story. Get ready to go DEEP and find out who the real bad guy is and why you may have been fighting the WRONG PERSON this whole time!

    La Signora was probably more violent towards Venti because of her own personal hatred towards him. Signora was previously a citizen of Mondstadt, and when her husband died during a battle she blamed Barbatos for it. I know the lore in the crimson witch artefacts are about La Signora.

    Fun fact: all archon’s have magic hair. When they use their abilities it glows. If you look at the cutscene when signora takes venti’s gnosis, his hair never glows. Meaning he wanted his gnosis taken. He wasn’t actually being as resistant as it looks, it was an act. He’s secretly rooting for the tsaritsa, like zhongli.

    *SPOILERS if you haven't finished all of Dain's quests as of 29.06.2022*
    Khaenri'ah is supposedly the actual last nation we're supposed to visit and it it ABSOLUTELY extremely important to the main story. The Tsarisa might want to rebel against the gods, but Khaenri'ah was a land of vanilla HUMANS that actively rejected the rule of gods and the heavenly principles and it's why it was destroyed, because they kept taking and taking and taking from the gods' domain, presumably inventing technology without permission (Khaenri'ah's war machines), doing immoral alchemy (Rhinedottir's alchemy beasts i.e. "playing god") and harnessing cosmic powers (Dainsleif's "power from beyond") without playing by Heavenly Principle's rules. It's the "Adam and Eve" of Genshin's nations. Literally all of Khaenri'ah's surviving inhabitants were cursed with eternal life and all except Dain, with accelerated soul erosion (overall eternal torment) as a form of punishment (hilihcurls and abyss enemy origins). The "poetic" language sometimes used throughout the game makes the events and philosophies of all parties involved a little cloudy, but if you ever want to make a theory about Khaenri'ah, I suggest starting with Dainsleif. Most of Kaenri'ah's known lore comes from this gorgeous narrator meta-man.

      The correction is actually based, he did flee with the Gnosis and Tsaritsa sent Childe after him. Those are facts
      But it might just be part of her plan, Scara's role is to keep the Gnosis since thise things are directed IP address to Celestia and imagine 4 Gnosisis in one place?! Celestia might be like "what's going on with them?" And who wants that since the Cryo archon literally wants to overthrown the government? =)))

    @BrokenFortuna 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1877

    As a loyal Genshin theorist, there are a few things I feel need to be addressed.
    1: If you wanna talk about lore, read the manga. In the manga Venti clearly shows some kind of PTSD towards Celestia, no need to theorize. And if Tsaritsa wants to overthrow them she's not exactly the bad guy.
    2: Tsaritsa, the way Venti was the god of freedom, used to be a god of love. Venti mentions her change of heart happening 500 years ago, back when the disaster in Khaenri'ah happened. Her relations with Tsaritsa changed a lot since then. Remember that Khaenri'ah wad a godless land.
    3: The reason why Signora treats Venti so roughly is far more personal than just "you a lazy god". Signora actually hails from Mondstadt and thus used to be one of his subjects, but left after her beloved Rostam died. She's angry he doesn't even recognize her.
    4: Venti was actively trying to stop the Stomterror conflict initially by talking with Dvalin, then giving powers to the Traveler, then trying to soothe the dragon with a holy lyre and eventually helping to take down the dragon himself. Not like he wasn't trying to do anything, as fun-loving as he is

      In reference to the last sentence of point 3.: perhaps Venti did recognise Signora, which would explain the bit of taunting as well as a lack of resistance from Venti in their scene in the game together as Venti may have wanted to give Signora a satisfying moment of revenge against him.

    • @ZeAwesomeHobo
      @ZeAwesomeHobo 2 ปีที่แล้ว +50

      It's a 15 lore video meant for everyone, I wouldn't expect much of the manga material to be mentioned. The dynamic between Signora and Venti is interesting, but is an aside to the theory's main point. The same goes for Venti helping Stormterror. Specifically, Venti wasn't trying to quell Dvalin to save Mondstadt, he wanted to help his friend. But that doesn't pertain to the overarching story, especially when the game itself counts the majority of that as a prologue.

  • @annalise9011
    @annalise9011 2 ปีที่แล้ว +239

    The reason why Signora was so violent in her snatching of the genesis is also partly due to a personal feud with Venti. Look into the Crimson witch artifacts, you'll see her story. She blames Venti's incompetence for her late lover's death. And hates/holds a grudge against him.
    I was also hoping that you'd tap into the CN text more because there was a lot of translation liberties that was taken for artistic reasons and are not actually accurate. Which is why as someone who hangs out in both fandom, I find that the CN lore department are often much more accurate in predicting the future chapters. I would strongly suggest you cross reference some of them, they are quite excellent.
    Tian li 天理 is actually a phrase that exists in chinese, used in longer phrases like :天理难容 (Tian li nan rong) (something along the lines of Order would not allow). It's... less destiny and more natural order, like physics, but imposed upon this world. Like karma, or things like balance. Basically, rules of the world. In Genshin, it is hinted that the rules of the world is opressive and similar to dictatorship.
    By arrogation in the original terms, they meant less taking something, and more that humans have advanced to a technological level they should not have, this is how how powerful humans should be, and therefore they shall be destroyed. Part of the reason Khanriah was destroyed was that Gold, the alchemist, figured out how to create life. And that is a power the principles determines that humans are not meant to have. And for the achievement of one man, the entire kingdom was destroyed. Of course there was also the matter that the things Gold created were monsters and they were out of control, but still.
    There's also a theory in CN that Visions, or in CN, Eye(s) of the God(s), are used to spy on those Celestia deem dangerous. It makes sense from the original text. These are the Eyes of the Gods, they're given by Celestia and not the Archons, given to those with the power to become gods and binds them to their wish so they become so vulnerable when their Visions were lost. Of course, this is just a working theory somewhere.
    Much like how in some literature Celestia would be used as a name for a personification or a god/goddess, 天理 can also be used as a name. In fact in the CN fandom it is often seen as and referred to as a name/ title.
    There is so much lore in Genshin, and it is even tied to their broader universe with Honkai Impact. Honestly none of these theories Ive mentioned here have considered Honkai yet. But hey, I don't play Honkai. If you want more in-depth analysis of the CN version, go to Bilibili.

    Hey Matpat. You missed one major chunk of lore that changes how the events of the game we're going to play out. The tsaritsa never got the Electro gnosis because the balladeer who hates Humanity has stolen it and is missing. Also to add to your theory of Celestia being evil in the manga Celestia is shown to be designed like a prison and when asked about it by Vanessa the ancient hero venti becomes flustered and uncomfortable unwilling to answer

  • @doodleghost6225

    my personal favorite theory/hc is that the archons weren’t given a choice in the destruction of khaenri’ah. Like, that they were manipulated or controlled to do it, or that their gnosis brainwashes them into following orders (hence the willingness to part with it later). It would also explain why Zhongli can’t talk about it. The idea that he formed a contract to keep quiet in exchange for something (power, safety for Liyue, more control of his personal choice) and that, because of his nature as the god of contracts, he can’t break it.
    (fun bonus concept: it isnt just that it would go against his principles, i love the idea that he physically can’t. Like, it would hurt him to do so or he literally can’t say the words.)

      I don't like how Venti keeps getting portrayed as this weak wimpy guy.. like yes, he is weak, but only when compared to the six other archons. Dude is *still* an archon. We know that Havria, who was one of the weakest gods to exist, turned everyone around her to salt when she was killed due to the uncontrollable release of her powers. It's very much clear that, compared to humans, gods, no matter how weak, are still more powerful and this is even more true for archons. So it's laughable to say Venti couldn't have stopped Signora if he wanted to. I mean, come on, this dude literally terraformed Mond at one point, he might not be as strong as he once was but he's still an archon lmao

    it might seem like he’s bad at being a god until you realise that he’s not just the god of anemo, he’s the god of freedom as well, so he’s not ruling monstadt because it’s his JOB not to rule monstadt. also, he does do his job in the sense that he’s protecting monstadt, as he freed it from decarabian, gave dvalin the strength to defeat durin and when dvalin was cursed and tricked by the abyss order he was immediately on the case and eventually freed him as well. also, signora didn’t take the other archons’ gnosis by force because a) the other nations were more reliant on their gods than monstadt so they needed a window of opportunity and b) if signora tried to 1v1 morax or ei she would get clapped (which is exactly what happens with the raiden shogun), barbados is just weaker than they are

Plus, SPOILERS FOR SIGNORA'S BACKSTORY - the reason Signora took his gnosis so violently was because, during the attack on Khaenri'ah, Signora's lover Rostam was slain. She hates Venti's guts cuz Rostam's death was the result of a cataclysm that was supposedly orchestrated by the gods (which I heavily believe the Archons had no say in, not that Signora knew) so her archon - cuz she was a former Mondstadter - failed her and her lost love. Just wanted to throw that out there.

    clarification: Venti did not "abandon" Mondstat. He simply decided that as the archon of freedom it would be unfit for him to rule Mondstat. He did NOT abandon is responsibilities as an archon!
    When he is needed as an Archon he rises to the occasion- being woken up from his slumbers (THAT HE MIGHT NOT EVEN HAVE CONTROL OVER.) He did this during the cataclysm (fighting Durin) - when the aristocracy got too bad- and most recently during the stormterror incident.
    Venti is not an archon that abandoned his duties! It would be unfair as to categorize him as such.

    -The Gnosis isn't technically the source of archons powers, As Venti says, it connects them to Celestia. Raiden confirms this by being able to use electro without being in possession of her gnosis
    -Tsaritsa doesn't have the Electro Gnosis. It's mentioned that after Scaramouche got it, he disappeared and never handed it over.
    -Celestia isn't the heavens. It mentioned that Celestia wasn't a part of Teyvat, in a "Noah's ark flood" they killed all the vishaps that inhabited teyvat originally. It is theorized that Teyvvat is based on Norse Mythology, where the sustainer is "Heimdall" and where the travelers were at the beginning was the rainbow bridge

    When you look into the Lore of Khaenri'ah, you quickly find contradictions, things that dont fit just right. Then what comes to mind is "History is written by the victor" and the victor was Celestia.
    The most common Theory is that Khaenri'ah, may have advanced technologically to far from Celestias norm (Like Sal Vindagnyr/Dragonspine) and were attacked for that. They defended themselves and lost. Now 500 years past, Khaenri'ah is portrayed as the "Bad Guys" for doing something they shouldn't have and it doesnt help that Gold (Alchemist from Khaenri'ah) summoned or created shadow creatures to battle that ultemately ravaged Teyvat after the War. The War itself and the turmoil following were dubbed "the Cataclysm" afterwards and left a bitter taste in the citizens of Teyvat (did also not help that at least 2 Archons died during the War, the Dendro God of the Woods and Baal/Makoto former Electro Archon and Sister to Ei/Beelzebub the current Electro Archon)

    The story goes much deeper with the 2.5 update. There are actually 3 realms, The human realm, the light/vishap realm and the void/abyss realm. originally there was no human realm or gods. The land was inhabited by 7 dragon lords and vishaps. But an ENTITY(probably from another world) came and defeated the dragon lords and put a layer above called the human realm which we are currently in. It is said that the sky is actually a false sky and that the archons that were given authority by celestia and can be controlled using the gnosi(lmao). Also to mention when humans of khanreia got too close to a certain truth they were wiped out by celestia and this is precisely why our twin in the game is fighting against celestia using the abyss order. Honestly it is already told taht the abyss order wants to take celestia down but then why would they make 2 separate organisations for the same goal. It doesnt make sense to me. something is not clicking. There is definetely something missing. Hope you make a theory on that

    The thing is, MatPat, is that The Tsaritsa still doesn’t have the electro gnosis. Kunikuzuchi (Scaramouche), a prototype puppet vessel of Raiden Ei has it since Yae Miko gave it to him in order to save the Traveler.There was an event explaining that Childe/Tartaglia is finding him for that reason, to take it back. So they (the Fatui) still have 3/7 gnosis, since Scaramouche took it upon himself to take the gnosis of his creator/mother and betray the Fatui.
    Celestia and the Tsaritsa may not be the big bad, but the balladeer himself. He’s chaos incarnate, a stronger puppet than the Raiden Shogun, holding a gnosis, and having a plan of his own that no one knows about. He’s not affiliated with anyone, he’s just playing everyone by his hands.
    Also you can read some artifacts and some in-game items for some additional lore of some characters, especially Scaramouche. Thank you for covering Genshin Impact again, hope we get to see more theory from you soon!

      @@jessicam9491 that statement is a speculation of mine lmao. I already played Enkanomiya and yes I know how shitty Celestia is in-game. But for me, the mere presence of Scaramouche and the uncertainty of his actions and plans is still more frightening than condescending gods. Celestia destroyed Enka and some parts of Teyvat 500 years ago, but Scaramouche can literally be the personification of “fear of the unknown” because of how little we really know of him.

      I dont think he's up to date, maybe he plays the game but definitely not up to date based on a single inconclusive clue:
      The fact that he doesn't know how to spell Khaenri'ah suggests that he might've not been through the Dainsleif quests - either that or it was just to introduce the joke 'I would go back and look up for the pronunciation of kAyNri'aH but uhm that entire nation was destroyed sooo what're they gonna do about it?'
      Maybe he started playing after the theory regarding Zhongli but after a year or so you'd think one would be pretty close, if not already, up to date.
      Maybe getting up to date isn't so easy and I'm just an ignorant day one player.
      Maybe all of the above is just me unhealthily obsessed with the game.
      Who knows? Hard to tell!

    well, tbh.. the reason why venti lost his gnosis in a violent way is because signora particularly had a beef with him. when she said "absentee archon of mondstadt", it's rather personal because she lost her lover before with the reason being that venti didn't help his nation at the war where signora's lover died.
    tsaritsa may also have some beef with venti but i'm not sure what exactly (vemti mentioned that tsaritsa cut off ties with him 500 yrs ago). i don't think it's really about his way of ruling mondstadt...
