Bedtime Story - DAINSLEIF IS BACK! Genshin Impact Archon Quest 4 Act 6 

That's why the quest called bedtime story. it's a story when we heard when still awake, yet it still goes on when we asleep. Though we don't remember it how it end. and don't know when it turn us to be dreaming

I think the duality of Caribert being selfless when it came to comforting the hilichurls and being selfish in the bigger picture perfectly encapsulates his character. Because first and foremost, he is a child of Khaenri'ah. Of course he would care about his own cursed people rather than wonder about the Abyss Sibling's plans in using the Loom of Fate against the rest of the world. The gods had forsaken and even persecuted his homeland, while the other nations did not give a damn other than using them as an example in their history books, the sinners who defied the Heavenly Principles. Furthermore, he was a child when he basically died and his consciousness only matured in a virtual reality. Why would he consider the good of the world he never even knew? He only learned to care about Vimara Village because he became a part of that community through implanted memories. He is both selfless and selfish, as well as naive to the point of being ignorant; which makes him a great character for an NPC because he holds such depth that it makes him realistic and relatable.

Caribert is the GOAT, you can't argue otherwise. If you did try to argue, argue with the wall.

I understand why ppl dislike the whole memory erasure trope, but it just makes this quest even more tragic, and makes the story of the twins even more devastating and so well done. I hv a feeling that the writers did this due to mentioning ‘the sea of flowers at the end’ it’s definitely very endgame stuff and Traveler already knowing about this would be crazy, so allowing the player base to know but not the Traveler would be justified in my opinion! Also Caribert came in clutch with that photo, so thankfully the Traveler knows that we reunited just not the conversation that occurred. Also Lumine mentioned ‘you wanted to find a place in the universe where that one flower was in full bloom’ when taking about arriving in the sea of flowers, very interesting.. It’s definitely something to think about for sure 🤔

1. Dain is back and went to buy milk for a year (or more) again 2. Caribert is handsome as f- and he's so pure, feels bad for him 3. F- YOU HOYO FOR DENYING US THE REUNITE TWO TIMES IN A YEAR 4. Also F- you Hoyo for the final image 9/10 quest, just wish it was longer

We were almost reunited.

Fun facts: According to soundtrack "Forest of Jnana and Vidya - Disc 1" Song title of Vimara Village Night Theme is *_Enchanting Bedtime Stories_* no wonder why they put entire quest within Vimara Village :)

The picture at last isn't a memory that caribert left behind to the MC ,instead it's caribert weaving two different interactions of him with either siblings. Both siblings would only remember it as they've only met caribert ,while in reality,one of them haven't as they've met each other instead. This is the first usage of *LOOM OF FATE* in its lowest potential.

the title of the quest "bedtime story" makes so much sense if u think about it. the twins reuniting in a "dream-like" setting then the traveler wakes up not remembering what their conversation was about but felt like something really happened is basically like us irl whenever we dream something but can't recall it once we wake up also the place the sibling told them is supposed to be the last destination of traveler's journey so remembering it won't make them feel the same joy/surprise as their sibling did

in my opinion, yes i agree that caribert was selfish to use the loom of fate solely for his goal and then let it be complete in the hands of someone he doesn’t rly know and that he has no idea what’ll be done with the loom, but also… why wouldn’t he be? he doesn’t care about the big picture plan- he died for the sake of it, and he is understandably resentful of that fact and so he wanted to experience living a normal life if even just through people’s memories. his ultimate goal was a selfless one too- to help and comfort other hillichurl after he experience the same mental anguish they all must be experiencing. i think this gives great nuance to his character instead of just being this puppet to the abyss who did what he was told bc he had no other choice- no, he used the loom of fate for his own desires which is way more, well, human. it sets up the idea that in times of conflict, people are nothing but pawns for those with more power to use for their own means, something that the abyss twin comments on when they talk about caribert with us. i like the idea of both celestia and the abyss order having very flawed methods of achieving their goals, however noble and “for the greater good” they think those goals may be

"When the twilight sword is prepared for battle, any army I send would only be marching to their doom...better that I face you alone" the most badass line in the game just for hoyo to offscreen the fight 💀. Maybe hoyo will animate it like the arlecchino animated short

*"I promise i'm not crying, my face is just sweating"*

They improved so much with the storytelling, Dainsleif and other characters' little facial expression change, Paimon EN Voice direction finally done right. So good.

This Archon Quest was amazing😭 I want to summarize 4.7 Archon Quest and speculate a bit about the plot. 1) Dainsleif has a brother named Vedrfolnir. Vedrfolnir or "The Visionary" is also "The Sinner", who inspired Chlothar Alberich to create the Abyss Order. It makes me sad that Dain assures the Traveler that no irreparable damage has been done between them and their sibling, while his relationship with his brother is most likely forever beyond repair.. 2) Dain is stronger than the abyss twin. He held back during their battle because he didn't want to hurt them. The Traveler probably has a long way to get on the same level as Dain. Not to mention becoming stronger than him. Btw, is it possible that Dainsleif can be stronger than the Archons and the top three Fatui Harbingers? 3) There were 5 great sinners in Khaenri'ah who betrayed this nation and used the powers of the abyss for their own purposes - Rhinedottir (Albedo's mom and creator of Durin and Elinas), Surtalogi (Skirk's master, who also pursues the perfection, like Gold), Vedrfolnir (Dain's older brother), Rerir and Hroptatyr. 4) Also, I've long wondered why and when Dainsleif's right side was affected by the abyssal power? As we can see the other showed khaenri'ahns don't have the same thing, so I guess the other Sinners tried to make Dain the 6th Sinner forcibly? This may explain the fact that he uses the power of the abyss (like his brother). But Dain has more bluish abyssal power, when Vedrfolnir has that dark purple-colored. 5) Caribert wanted to use the Loom of Fate to comfort the hilichurls. But the abyss twin decided to use the Loom of Fate for a different purpose, which has not been explained to us at this point. Tbh, I don't fully understand how this device works, but I think they just want to alter reality with it. 6) I find it funny that the abyss twin was talking about how Dainsleif failed to protect Khaenri'ah when he was probably the only one at the time who was even trying to do anything about it. Since the other 5 just got the power of the abyss and didn't use it for good lol. I'm really starting to think the twin is being manipulated. Maybe by Vedrfolnir, maybe by someone else. 7) The Heavenly Principles is now in an inactive state and has been for 500 years (this is what Nahida told us btw, but now it has been re-confirmed by the abyss twin) 8) WAIT A SEC- Is it possible that Vedrfolnir was the one who erased the information about the abyss sibling from Irminsul when their journey came to an end? (Nahida told us about it in the final act of the Sumeru Archon Quest) If Caribert was the one who could implant memories, then someone more powerful like Vedrfolnir could erased the information in Irminsul, right?

7 archons, dragons 6siners pignin 5 sinners 4 shades ,descenders 3 moon sisters 2? (siblings???) 1?(primodial one???)

I enjoyed the quest. SPOILER- A couple things I took from this quest: 1.) We knew Rhinedottir was a cause of the cataclysm, but now we "know" there were 5 sinners. Skirk name-dropped the first three while Dain just named the last two as well as identified the crystal, who was previously named by Skirk. Since they were name dropped, if we follow patterns, the other 2 have been referenced already somewhere and/or will be explained more in Natlan. 2.) There are parallels here of the abyss twin making the same "mistake" as Nibelung, Deshret, and the sinners by using the abyss. 3.) My theory is that Paimon is/is related to the Heavenly Principles. This makes us guided by the Heavenly Principles while our twin may be guided by the abyss.

I loved that I noticed the 2 dolls in the tree of atossa and caribert

HoYo definitely writes the most wholesome stories! My heart was definitely not broken after this quest! 😭

23:22 "Rächer" is not a name. It's more like a title; it means "avenger" in German.

I understand why bran thinks it's selfish, but something that I think he forgot in this moment was Caribert and Lumine are on the same side. The Loom of Fate had the power to change the world as you said, why would he not give it to the person fighting for people like him who was cursed? Why would he not give it to the person he trusted to do something about how they have been wronged? I think if I was part of an oppressed group, and I was handed a power like that, there's no one else I'd give it to but the person resisting that oppression. It was just a bonus that in the process, he was able to offer comfort to the ones who also suffered like he did. To him, he wasnt strong enough to wield the full power of the loom of fate, but he still tried to do something to the best of his abilities. Anyway, this was a short but sweet quest.

the "if that were the case, i would hug you too" AND THE TOUCH ON THE ABYSS SIBLINGS FACE AND THEN FADING THROUGH GOT ME

Damn, the soundtrack inside Caribert's consciousness is something though. Can't wait for Hoyo-mix to release another album.

So what if Caribert helped complete the loom of fate and used it to achieve his selfless goal to ease the hilichurls suffering if for a moment. I believe he had every right since it was his life that was sacrificed so the loom of fate could come into existence. One way or another the loom of fate would have been completed anyways, regardless if he had a hand in it or not.

"Sea of Flowers". Now why does that sound familiar? Oh right, way back then at the teaser for all regions. The final chapter, where we supposedly will fight Dainsleif after completing the journey. Literally on a place filled with flowers

Dain should be tied down next time to stop him disappearing. Absolutely beautiful music in this quest. I felt so sad for the poor traveller...

I agree with Bran's take on Caribert being selfish but not for the same reason. First of all, Caribert doesn't have any means of "holding" the Loom of Fate, he said it himself, he's just a very miniscule part of it, he doesn't even understand nor could he see the scope of its capabilities. He only has one goal for it and for him to be able to do that is to ask our sibling to complete the Loom so he did what he did...he needs to act fast too because his "individuality" is dissipitating (well based on what I understood) that's why he did what he did, he is selfish in that regard, he's not selfish for handing over a device he didn't even know or comprehend the full power of. He's pure and single minded, he just wants to give the Hillichurls comfort, he is selfish and not at the same time. Also it's not as if he can actually give the Loom to Aether, he can't even touch it, he can't exist on the outside world where the Loom exist, so I think him giving Lumine the ability to do that is the selfish part, for him, his wish is more important because that's the only thing he can do now...he's already dead anyway.

I'm pretty certain Dain stored the eye inbetween his ginormous balls of steel

Not just the sinners do not tryed to protect Khaenri'ah but in fact "Gold " Rhinedottir was the one who caused it.

Why would Caribert care about being selfless or selfish when he knows he's already dead? Why not hand the Loom to one of the few people he knows will use it for _something_ , not just to keep it away?

I can't wait to see all the new Ashikai theories about the new information (It's ASTOUNDING)

1:03:03 i gotta disagree here, yeah caribert doesnt know exactly what's gonna be done, but he knows lumine will use it to go against celestia who in his perception took away the life he and countless others could have had. he probably hates celestia and knowing someone will use that weapon to attack celetia is probably more than enough reason to complete and hand over the weapon. celestia hasnt exactly done good on teyvat, taking it down is probably a good cause to him. it's selfish because he has a personal vendetta but it;s also not purely selfish 'cause he's helping take down who he sees as a bad guy. calling him dumb as fuck is a very questionable take imo.

I love Caribert, sorry he is not stupid or selfish like u said, i mean he literally HAD NO CHOICE. If he refuse then what? he will be disappear PERMANENTLY and the research will still continue with ANOTHER test subject / hilicurls

Bruh, imagine youre in Caribert pisition, you are dead no, not event alive, you dont ve a chance to live, and you said he selfish? Heh all human bruh, ALL. He did that because was once a hilicurl too, he knew their pain and suffering more than everything. So why not become selfish even if the world being destroyed, who cares bruh, he and the hilicurl were suffering and not "living" anyway

The picture at the end was most likely created with the completed Loom of Fate since it is implied to be able to affect the material world. Even Dain mentioned that the abyss order is not capable to affect the reall world """YET""" . Assuming this is true, I find it sweet that this world ending anti-celestia weapon was first used to materialize a photograph for a pair of lonely twins.

1:13:00 I was also thinking about something like that, but I realize it a few seconds later in my playthrough because of this one thing. In the memory/dream, soon after Caribert is gone, Lumine phases through Aether. But at the end of the dream/memory, she put her hand on Aether's head and there's no blue sparkles like before, meaning she's actually touching him. The absence of Caribert is complete when they touch the 2nd time because the photo that we have is taken when they're still sitting together, and that is presumably the last thing he did. After that someone else had to be the conscience inside the Loom of Faith, and since Aether doesn't remember about these scenes, there was only one other person/conscience in that place at that time

this is my 5th time witnessing this quest. (my own run, watched thejonathon, jihyorge, rintaichou, now bran) i can't move on from this 😭😭

My reaction when I saw Caribert for the first time, was. "He looks like a mix of Chlothar and Keaya!" Who else?

Caribert is my best buddy now. Must have a ragdoll or plushie so i can read bedtime stories to him stat.

I can smell the ashikai video comin'... "The smell of malted brains in the morning"

Handing the loom is not selfish in any way.... it is naive, but thats as far as it goes.

Yep 🥲 the story really hits at last

the amount of Kaveh spam in the chat made me laugh so much🤣

Bran uploading a masterpiece on my birthday definitely a gift for being your subscriber:D

People who get upset with this quest don't seem to understand how exactly the memory loss thing makes sense. I'll explain it in two simple points. 1.) Regarding the loss of memory in itself, it makes sense when you consider that Caribert's memory is held up by his own consciousness and looped around a false Irminsul, made by the loom of fate. If it were made by integrating his consciousness with the real Irminsul, then yes, the traveler would've remembered beyond the boundaries of the space. But since it was created with the help of the loom's false Irminsul, it causes the traveler to forget. People have tried to use the Scaramouche and Rukkhadevata things as an excuse to hate on this quest, but again, using a false Irminsul made with the loom of fate causes there to be a different understanding. 2.) Regarding the specifics of forgetting the reunion, but not Caribert, this is easy to explain. Caribert himself was the one channeling his consciousness through the false Irminsul, meaning that when he disappeared (i.e. before lumine got there), the traveler wouldn't remember anything following because the domain was already collapsing in on itself. Slowly but surely, the space was falling apart, and the abyss twin only had a little bit to talk with their sibling. This is also why they didn't drop any major lore here and chose to just sit and talk, because the abyss twin knew their sibling would forget. If it were longer, I would've liked it better, but for the lore drops and the fact that I get to feel smart, 9.5/10

Of course Bran has a bad take on Caribert.

After 84 years of buying milk, dainsleif is back and still as cool as ever 🗿✨

I've never been this early to a Bran video! Cheers! Also, Hoyo did the siblings dirty!

The Sea of Flowers at the End is in the Travail trailer from 2020. That is huge end game stuff that HOYO has been planning since the beginning!! And also Caribert is the best!! No one can tell me otherwise 😢😢😢

i loveee caribert so much what a dynamic character they made. bro wanted to live so bad but was still shackled to his duty as a khaenri'ahn (idk if thats the right way to put it). even tho bro prolly didnt fully want to / need to, he still gave dain his memory of giving the eye to us. bro is the most perfect anti hero character ive seen it a while

So the traveler is actually hiding his true identity from Teyvat? He said that lumine is the only one who calls him Aether.

As Lumine, I got confused thinking that Caribert was actually Aether as the missing person, probably because I recalled the trailer. Seeing the hilichurls just chill like that, and then the Caribert speaking reminded me of Ena's Dream.

we were reunited, we was reunited, we what reunited?

I love the person in the chat who said: "plot twist his name is villager". Genius!! LOL

Even after all of this, I still don't think the Heavenly Principles is bad.

The chat at the beginning saying that Kaveh is the missing person is killing me

I really waiting for u playing Clorinde quest! I always love to watch u do quest. Keep doing what y enjoy i am happy for u❤

Finally 🤧 Found your reaction vid for this. I thought you haven't posted this one yet hehe 👐

1:21:52 with Loom of Fate they can now make anything they want with playing or producing new Ley Lines. Like coding computer, Caribert coded this picture exists in Ley Line, therefore it is here in Traveller's hands

Here's the thing: Caribert is not in control...despite the fact that he is able to harness the power of the loom, he really is just a vessel...whose existence should have been gone long ago. He was only able to hold on to it for so long for his personal goal but it wouldn't change the out come. That being said: WITH or WITHOUT him, the Abyss twin or the abyss faction will complete the loom of fate, it is bound to happen. it just the matter of time or different means to aquire the eye from Dain... So Caribert really didnt have a choice. All he can do is just ride along and achive his own goal. Its not the matter of him being selfish or not

i did the quest with Lumine, and for some reason, the role of the abyss twin fits aether a bit more in this quest, bcs hes the older brother and it just feels right

Surely I am not the only one to feel like the archon quest was way too short?

About the trust issue, He knew Lumine for a long time, she has access to Caribert Domain (she even helped his father showing a good impression, Lumine was even angry for Caribert sake at the end) through the time skip that we (Aether) was asleep even if he didn't knew what was her plan 100% at least he know she was not evil who would obliterated the world. That's why he agree to help her and he has his own objectives for the Lume of faith.

After doing the quest, I wonder what is really the Loom of Fate? Is it a device, a machine, an ideology, an alien entity, a prophecy? We don't really know, as it is not much explained even by Caribert. Now that it's complete, by what degree will it affect between the siblings who are longing to be reunited but belonged on the complete opposite sides? The fact that this offset Traveler quest is the oxymoron of the "We Will Be Reunited" quest, makes it more dreadful than before. Almost, but still away, until the main reason is not solved or eradicated. As of now, only Nahida revealed the entity of the Traveler, and Skirk revealed a bit of past of the entity before the existence of the Traveler. It's either more revelations will be unfolded at Natlan, a hard truth at Snezhnaya, or a complete detail at Khaenri'ah (if it is showed as a independent arc). But in general sense, the Traveler quest is dark on its own. 😕 Edit PS: Regarding the five Sinners, they are actually hinted from Kaeya (entry IV). And connecting the dots, three of them caused trouble on Teyvat. Could be a possibility that these Sinners know something about Celestia, knowing the fact that no archon talks about them at all? 🤔

Kaeya: “Khaenri'ah, huh? You sure know a lot! The legacy of Khaenri'ah is long gone. The sinners are all that's left, and they're not worth mentioning.” This is from one of Kaeya’s voicelines. And after 4.7 you realise: He knows who the sinners are and despises them the same way Dain does. The fact that this voiceline has been here since the beginning of the game is crazy and we are only discovering the context behind it now… Kaeya 100% knows more than he ever lets on, so him saying he doesn’t know much about Khaenri’ah in the previous Dain quest was a complete lie. And this quest just raised more questions into who Kaeya is: -Caribert died at 8 years old so Kaeya is not him nor is he descended from him. - Caribert’s appearance is based on what his father believed he would look like which is awfully similar to Kaeya with the dark blue hair and the single blue earring each of them wear on their left ear. (Pierro also wears a single blue earring on his left ear as well). -Dainsleif says the 5 sinners were the ‘hopes’ of Khaenri’ah. Kaeya is also called the ‘last hope’ so what does that make Kaeya?… Overall every Dain quest just gives us more questions to Kaeya, Khaenri’ah and his lore than answers.

The voice at the end of Inversion of Genesis did say to only trust what Traveler sees with their own eyes. So yeah kinda faire that everything u remember or don't remember could be manipulated.

1:13:15 reminds me of an episode in No Game No Life There's these 2 siblings who are like super intelligent and one of them made a bet with someone which caused him to disappear as part of a plan and his sister had to figure out stuff and make him come back into existence I don't remember exactly what happened but that's what I remember

Sumeru text when we enter Caribert's realm: "Farewell atossa, I apologize For making you know me Unwilingly. Still.. i don't wish You to forget me." _~Alberich Caribert_

I have a huge feeling that the heavenly principles will wake up when we get to snezhnaya storyline..bcoz all the gnosis will be collected and we dont know what the tsaritsa will do with it..i also think that snezhnaya storyline will be the best out of all the archon quests in my opinion

It came to my mind after lumine said that the flower grew in teyvat, Lumine(abyss twin) is a part of this world according to irminsul but our sibling is not part of this world. Could it be that the twins originally came from teyvat but irminsul/the twins etc forgot for some reason that they came from teyvat but for some reason irminsul remembers our twin and made her part of the world again or something happened to our twin that made irminsul register our twin as part of this world. either way it's interesting how the flower that she has is located at teyvat and that they were searching for it on their journey but didn't found it the first time they travelled teyvat before they lost their powers.

My guess is that the pieces that the 6 exceptional individuals are holding are similar to the gnosis. While the gnosis are the parts of the 3rd descenrder, the the one the Sinners + Dain is holding onto is probably the piece of Nibelung (after it got defeated a 2nd time). And together they can recreate the Dragon of the Abyss. In fact, I would go as far as to say that Dainsleif's piece is in the shape of a ring based on what we learned in the Pari world quest in sumeru where He was seen clutching a ring, immediately after the Khaenriah disaster. If this is true then We have the Fatui that gathers the gnosis to build their 3rd descender lego set, while the Sinner gang wants Dain to handover his piece to finish their Nibelung lego set.

I think this quest finally gave me confirmation on an issue I’ve been wondering about; how many hilichurls have we killed that were once former citizens of Khaenri’ah? Cuz Hilichurls were a monster species before the curse, so it’s not guaranteed that we’re harming innocents from Khaenri’ah. And whenever a quest highlights the cursed hilichurls, it’s usually in situations where we’re unable to hurt them, like how you can’t damage them in this quest. But we can kill Abyss Order enemies all the livelong day because they’re an antagonistic faction in the game, like regular monster hilichurls are. It’s like the distinction between the Fatui and the House of the Hearth, they’re linked but they don’t serve the same role in story and gameplay. Going forward, maybe cursed hilichurls will be peaceful, affected by Caribert’s actions in this quest, setting them apart from regular monster hilichurls.

"The Sea of Flowers at the End" reminded me of that scene from the Teyvat chapter storyline preview, where we see first Lumine with Aether, and then Aether (traveler) alone among the "sea" of flowers. I wonder if that is the place where it all actually ends? Because it was the end of the Abyss siblings' journey. But what will happen then? I guess we just need to wait a few years 😂

To make it clear, Focalor's plan was not to fool the Heavenly Principle, but only to fool the Heavenly Principle's preordained verdict. It means that the Heavenly Principle casted a unescapable spell upon Fontainian's fate and the spell it self will be fulfilled whether or not the Heavenly Principle is looking at them. So even if the Heavenly Principles are "sleeping", the spell it self will still take effect. So what Focalor did was fooled the spell only and not the Heavenly Principle themselves. Also mean that Focalor knew that the Heavenly Principles were sleeping all along.

Waitt if the leylines have the ability to "bring back" the dead and the loom of fate has the ability to create leylines, that would mean.... lumine wants to reenact the scenes of the khaenrian war or bring back the past.... idk just my theory

1:23:17 Hell yes. I was so happy to have many of the unanswered questions finally answered

Dainsleif returns after what felt like years and then proceeds to drop a boulder-sized lorebomb onto us. Atleast Caribrt apologized for his actions which he admitted he's aware of were selfish, we never got an apology from Egeria for basically being responsible for the prophecy about the fall of Fontaine by rising sea-levels happening cause she had been too giving to the Oceanids who wanted soooo much more than these lives they were given by Egeria in the first place leaving Neuvillette and Focalors/Furina to clean up her mess.

Dainsleif with the eye in his butt really threw me off man 😂

Wait... just imagine that collecting all the gnosis might result to the heavenly principle to be awaken lol that will be the Tsaritsa ultimate failure and will give the Fatui(Fools) a real meaning.

Even though the loom of fate was just now completed, its probably had some effect on every aspect of the story up to now. It seems like it can alter the past (everything we have played up until now) paradox-free.

Calibert overheard Lumine telling Aether that they won’t remember their conversation and went “fuck that.” 1:21:54

This is such a great quest.…. It broke me. I think the photo is Hexenzirkel doing.

This makes me sad, Calibert is such a kind person. I hope this quest is longer or they should show us Lumine and Dains fight!

1:04:25 Does it matter how powerful the Loom of Fate is when Caribert is already dead?

Calibert looks so much like Kaeya, I can't get over it. 😂 We know they are AT LEAST distant relatives, but they honestly looked much closer than that. Ahhh, I want to find out so bad. (given his skin tone, I am guessing Kaeya is half Sumerian, half Khaenriah, but how he beat the curse idk. Perhaps children born after the cataclysm don't immediately turn?)

The dain stuff aside, am i the only one who's first reaction was to ask nahida the moment memories were mentioned like i feel like they could have added nahida in there if this quest was a bit longer

Did anyone else notice his hair at 1:07:00 went from a darker blue to just straight black in the cutscene?

Something i just noticed I don't know if anyone else already write this. But at 1:12:26 the travelers Name changed to Aether. Normally it is always the Name the Player gave, but not this time. I didn't even notice this when I played the quest myself!

Its a 9/10 quest..everything was perfect..if they would have added the cutscene for the fight between dain and lumine it would have been one of the best archon quests..but still enjoyed the archon quest..W hoyo

So... purely speculation on my part, but I've been thinking about this for a while now - ever since we found out at the end of the Fontaine AQ what the gnoses were... "The remains" of the third descender, whom... we still not sure who it is, but we know we - the Traveler - are the fourth. Now... bear with me, what if... what if our Abyss sibling WAS the third descender, and what if the reason why they seem to resonate so well with the Abyssal energies/powers is because the balance of that - the light realm/all our elemental resonance was literally piecemeal removed from them and used by the Primodial One (the first) and Heavenly Principles (the second) to create the gnoses? I know the gnoses technically predate our arrival to Teyvat, but we already know that time is fluid in this world, and there's been timey-wimey stuff before (the Great Narukami Shrine's sakura tree) and there's been some speculation that there's some ability to manipulate space and/or time by the earlier descenders? AND it would explain why our sibling has been etched into Irminsul as belonging to this world - if the gnoses/elemental piece of them had gotten whisked back to near the start and embedded as part as an integral part of the world. And their remainder, the abyssal piece of them, is now the only remaining piece and therefore taken in by the Abyss, which we know predates Teyvat and existed in the world as the opposite of the light realm that the Dragons were part of. Anyway, this has just been circling my brain for a while now, and I'm probably COMPLETELY off/wrong, but I felt like I finally had to put this out there.

Me balling the entire time the siblings are talking

my only gripe with this quest was how short it was!!! I know dain quests are on the shorter side but mannnn it's really missing like half an hour imo

The place Caribert took us to looks like the Eternal Oasis where the Goddess of Flowers was supposedly entombed!

What if the Irminsul tree will be on fire because there are too many new Ley Lines (created by the Loom of Fate) and it kinda overloaded? Since it's like a memory card/storage of Teyvat's data right (memories, history, etc). And Ley Lines are the cables that absorb and transfer them to the Irminsul tree to store.

Hmmm. Idk why it felt so short this time. But im not complaining tho.

Loom of Fate may just be an alternate option for all pf the people in Teyvat: Do you want to change the tragedy in your past? For example asking Shenhe if she wants to enjoy another life with her parents happily or continue to be the person she is right now. I would say this is a very hard choice to make.

YESSS DAINSLEIF

they will start putting Caribert in the interactive maps now! I can just see it! Caribert is on of the prettiest male npc;s i have ever seen!

23:16 ,,Rächer,, is a german word and we use it for a person who wants revenge. I am german so i find it funny that a german word just puppt up in a English sentence.😂😂
