    Maiden's of Sanctity is honestly like an incredibly lovely send off from Sumeru for me. Just wrapping up the Desert and into Fontaine. Also telling us the story of the sacrifice of the 3 goddesses for the peace here ... I just loved this last Sumeru quest.

    Genshin's world quest sometimes such a hassle to start but when you get through, it is usually very beautiful. I finished both Dirge of Bilqis and Vourukasha Oasis few days before 4.0 released because of procrastination, but it felt really good like a parting gift from Sumeru.

  • @jonson856
    @jonson856 ปีที่แล้ว +18

    The story to the Eternal Oasis was that Jeth leaves a memento of her father and mother that place and spends some time there to reminisce about them. Though if I remember correctly, she never really knew her mother.
    It's a very sad yet beautiful song. A bit like a bitter sweet ending.
    Finally her parents found the Eternal Oasis.
    Yet Jeth lost both her parents.
    So in a sense it's also get saying good bye to them.
    And the song, if you listen to all parts or phases of it, reflects that as well. Though I would say in the song it's her parents saying their good bye to her and she is left with an echo of them.

    Maiden of Sanctity and its instrumental version Caress of Three Mothers is one of the few songs that have made me emotional and almost bring me to tears just from the music alone.

    Across Dimming Asterisms will forever be in my heart. My characters were too strong to have a fight that lasted more than a minute, so I haven't had the chance to hear the whole piece - that is, until I and my friend went to Setekh Wenut to clear the achievement about infusing his spheres and this absolute banger accompanied our run.
    Maaan, it hyped me up so much I was headbanging the whole time instead of focusing on the fight but it was glorious.

      Remember when in her character demo Candace said “nights in the desert are cruel. Sleep soundly, and know that I’m watching over you”? Wind of Tranquility feels exactly like that.
      It feels like an almost motherly protection. It feels like safety and peace, in stark contrast to the usual restlessness of the desert.
      It feels as if you’d been walking in the desert for days with no sense of security and with danger possibly coming at you at any moment, but then you arrive in Aaru village and finally have all the tension lifted off your shoulders, knowing that there’s someone protecting you and that you can rest easy.
      Absolutely beautiful track 🩵

    The first track, Across Dimming Asterisms, has a strange time signature that keeps on changing
    0:49 is 5/4 which gives it that slow motion
    3:06 is 4/4 which gives the illusion of speeding up
    3:30 is a mix of 4/4 for 2 bars and then 5/4 for 2 bars and repeating. This section, although has the same melody as the beginning section, has a completely different rhythm which is fun to count. The accents on the beats in the first 5/4 bar of each phrase gives it a flair
    4:24 until the end is 5/4

    there are a few soundtracks in sumeru that have an aesthetic that felt really fresh compared to the rest of the game, starting with the withering zone battle themes. shadow in ruins was one of those, that really gave me that "futuristic" vibe that makes the identity of khaenri'ah feel foreign as it should

    Maiden of sanctity OST is for 3 characters who has a connection to Vourukasha's Oasis:
    Nabu Malikata (Goddess of Flowers) - the creator of Khvarena
    Previous Hydro Archon ( Lord of Amrita ) - Vourukasha's Oasis is the location where she died during the Cataclysm 500 years ago & all of those water at the oasis & Amrita Pool is her remain ( probably her blood )
    Rukkhadevata (Previous Dendro Archon) - Creator of Simurgh, the ancestors of Pari species from Nabu Malikata's Khvarena given to her. She's also the one who planted Harvisptokhm tree at Vourukasha's Oasis to anchor the late Previous Hydro Archon to the mortal realm during the Cataclysm 500 years ago, just before she went to Irminsul, creating Nahida & died in front of Irminsul.

    In the Teyvat stories. That BIG DOOR was an ancient gate to the Khaenri'ah. Khaenri'ah is the nation of human. And it was the strongest, glorious nation in the past. I think that music expresses the glorious that Khaenri'ah had before, the sanctity of this gate, and the loneliness of no one. So i think it is really like the halo.
