one of my favorite bits of minor coerthan lore is that there's an abandoned castrum (castrum aquilonis) that they stopped construction on because of how tremendously shitty coerthan weather is now. the garleans -- from garlemald! notorious for its harsh conditions and shitty weather! -- took one look around coerthas and said, "actually, fuck this."

this is after they sent a spy to infiltrate ishgard & lost her. thing is, lucia received the ranking of "goe" before her defection: that places her at the same social rank as rulers of imperial territories and provinces, and among the frumentarii, it would indicate leadership. she was not just a normal field operative, she was a major resource for the empire. and she took one look at aymeric and said, "ummmm yeah i'm catholic now."

ishgard racking up Ws and clowning on the most powerful country in the known world at every turn just by existing in the mountains and having cold weather and hot elves. that is so funny to me

The Aranara world quest series was so good? L O N G but so good and emotionally driven I actually felt emotional during the finale of it all fsjdnfkjn but most important of all it was so damn cool to actually see someone being gifted a Vision??

Rana getting a Dendro Vision along with all the existing Dendro characters Vision stories will certainly be adding to the theory on the requirements for people to get that vision specifically

If you don't mind me asking, what's the theory?

((Ho boy, anon you don't know what you've just unleashed--))

((Okay. Okay, I'll summarize it, but it's major spoilers for the 3.0 Archon Quest!!! For Sumeru's first act!!! You have been warned!!))

((Okay so my theory brain was thinking like "You know, there seems to be a lot of repetition themes going on in Genshin, like the past repeating itself, or implied to repeat itself, or at least has some of those vibes of the past repeating itself" And with how the sky is canonly fake in Teyvet, I've always thought Teyvet was some sort of artificial world that was on repeat. On a loop.))

((Then you get Nahida just, outright saying this nonsense: ))

((I know, I know, she's probably just referring to the dream world that the traveler and everyone else is stuck in being on repeat here, but... but... bear with me... there's more mentions of this concept that seems like she's not just talking about the single day in this endless festival.))

((Everything in this world runs in a loop.))

((Nahida is speaking in cryptic nonsense to most people, but you know what this screams to me? This screams, "I know this world is a false one, and it's in one never ending loop of repeated history."))

((Now, whether this is a true time loop (everything goes back in time and resets at a certain point) or a pseudo time loop (everything feels like it's repeating but time is actually moving forward, it's just our perception of time being reset) is up for debate, but I personally think that with the mention of the God of Time, Istaroth, that the former is more likely.))

((So Genshin has a false sky, and Nahida implies that it's very likely that, like the world of dreams the Sumeru government created to harvest dreams, Teyvet is, itself, a false world on a time loop.))

((So here's where I get more into speculation than theorizing based off of canon evidence--I think that Paimon and Venti, who have connections to the God of Time (maybe being Shades?) have something to do with this endless loop. Venti less so, for I think that Venti has the ability to remember things from previous loops, like how Traveler had in the Archon Quest. Venti always seems to know what to say and when to say it, except for... odd instances where he does seem taken aback and surprised. A few people theorized that since he is related tot he God of Time, that he can see into the future--but if that's the case, why does he get surprised at all?))

((My theory here is instead this--Venti has memories of previous loops, so he knows all of the songs of the past, present, and future, and certain core events that he's come to expect and memorize--but there are new instances that he doesn't expect, or never encountered, or doesn't remember encountering.))

((One behavior of Venti's that is, largely, overlooked imo is this one line in his story quest that, when you combine it with Nahida's words, suddenly becomes quite a troubling statement.))

(("Let's meet at the usual place."))

((This line alone means absolutely nothing out of context--but when you remember where this supposed usual place is, you'll star to see the bigger issue if you remember the answer.))

((Venti is saying the "usual place to meet" is at the Statue of himself--the large one in front of the church--and in the hands of that statue. Why is this a problem?))

((For something he refers to as "The usual place" where he and traveler meet up... the player has never once in the entire game before this point met Venti in the statue's hands. Discounting the first time we meet him at the statue, we never even meet Venti at the Statue's base. Yet he's referring to it as a common occurrence, as if it's a preferred spot for them to "meet up." Most players actually assume that the big tree at Windrise was the "usual place" because we've met Venti there more often than at this statue.))

((Another thing to note is that a certain mechanic makes a whole lot more sense when you think about it--you know the quest markers in Genshin that tell you where to go, so you're not aimlessly wandering around trying to figure out what to do for days on end? Well... if Genshin is going to continue it's path down the genre deconstruction path that it seems to be going down (especially with the reveal that Katheryne is a fucking android of some sort--) (Another example that may be brought up in the future is respawning, since they said that Hilichurls can only die at certain spots like the Chasm (and thus what happens to Hilichurls we defeat out in the wild?) and the Ley Lines (The Ley Line sbeing revealed to be houses of memories, and thus, when we fight Ley Lines, we are fighting the memories of enemies, not actual ones) ectect) then this mechanic would also be on the agenda of deconstruction--something to explain away with lore. What better way to explain it than to be the Traveler having a sense of Deja-vu and vaguely remembering where to go and what to do?))

((That is mostly speculative theory though, of course.))

((As for Paimon, which I mentioned earlier--I think that her being very clearly suspicious may play a part in her apparent connections to the God of Time. If Venti is immune to the erasing memories aspect of the loop, then maybe Paimon is the cause of the loop. I suspect that the loop officially started when we met Paimon, if the time loop theory is true, and that we may encounter an instance where the traveler gets severely hurt or almost killed/on the verge of death. Panicked and scared of losing someone she cares about, Paimon's time abilities unlock and go rampant, thus sending the Traveler back to a time where they were safe and alive. This sort of ties in to how upset and scared Paimon got when Traveler disappeared on her for the whole day and... yeah, I do think she does truly care about us.))

((Again, this is pure speculation as to where the story is going to go, but regardless if it ends up being true or not, I really like the idea.))

((I really lope time loop/pseudo time loop plots, I eat that shit UP. And you know what? I'd really like to play with that aspect of Time Looping and retaining the memories of loops with Venti. With his cryptic nature and thinly veiled depression, well... yeah, I really dig the idea of him just persevering through these loops with no idea what to do or how to stop them so he just drinks himself silly until it starts again. Also I'd love to RP as Nahida/write a drabble about Nahida and this interpretation of Venti at some point.))

((Anyway thanks for coming to my Ted Talk :'D))

there’s nothing more unsettling and more tasty than finding all the crumbs related to the investigation team, learning about the ruin guard ciphers on your own time, discovering all these notes and records in random places yet contained to the same general areas, seeing vague references to zandik hidden away on bulletin boards in sumeru city,

and just slowly, slowly trying to piece together what exactly happened in what order and realizing who this is talking about

when i read “we buried dastur sohreh” at the end of one note, followed by the another starting with “the deceased, dastur sohreh” and it’s titled dissection notes, I Fucking Knew we were in the deep shit now

//ARCHON QUEST SPOILERS

Nahida is such a sweetheart. She really cares so much about her people and her most loyal follower. She did everything to keep Dunyarzard alive and to break everyone free of the samsara. She really is a good archon.
