Dainsleif Backstory & Lore Explained! The Real Origin Of Khaenri'ah & The Sinner Theory 

Plot twist: Celestia DID wipe out Khanriah, as in killed everyone. Gold brought them back from the abyss through Khemia. Pure blood Khanrians came back with immortality and half blooded turned into monsters due to a side effect of the method Gold used. The Curse, is the side effect of being resurrected where immortality was the sought after result.

My theory is that the Hillichurlification is what happens when people without significant resistance to Abyssal Energy/Forbidden Knowledge due to Irminsul essentially being a computer that runs the Teyvat program and being unable to correctly process Abyss-formatted code, and there's only one curse, Immortality, which was given to make sure that their corrupted souls didn't further corrupt Irminsul if they died and entered the Leyline network. On that note, the Loom of Fate plan might be an attempt to create a new Irminsul, this one allow to process Abyssal Energy without getting corrupted, thereby either just allowing the Hillichurls to die, or creating a new Teyvat whose laws can sustain Abyssal humans, thereby detransforming the Hilichurls.

This vid made me think of a possibility. Maybe Dain actually worked with the PO to bring on the curse. With the risk of Khain’rians’ being corrupted by the abyss, immortality keeps their information out of Irmunsol before being reborn. It would explain why the abyss twin looks at Dain like a betrayer. Dain’s hatred for the gods comes from the unexpected results of the curse. Keeps everything grey morally with Celestia protecting the Irmunsol from abyssal corruption and Dain thinking he did the right thing at the time at the cost of Khain’riah

Usually lore theories seem way out there but I really like this theory. I can see Hoyo doing something like this.

11:12 i would be up for the theory Khaenrians are "natural" humans to the world if Neuvillette himself (with all his regained Sovereign memories) didn't confirm literally all humans are not part of the natural world (in his voicelines) :0

I don't buy the "khaenri'ahns are vishaps". But what if Rhine created only dragons to mimic and try to repopulate the world with dragons? Or maybe not repopulate, but replace the dead sovereigns. And what if old civilizations worshiped dragons, or at least co-existed with them. That makes sense why Khaenri'ah refuses to worship any god, why Rhine has dragons creations, Ouroboros and Dain. What if, for Khaenri'ahns the dragons were like gods? It's exactly like in christianity, when they eradicated any pagan and pagan gods and beliefs. Some refused to convert and they were killed. I see the same scenario here, idk.

Morax is older than 6000 years old. He says this. 7000, 10,000 300 years old? Timeline is so whonky and as for that really really really hard to pinpoint actually time of anything. The Travelers were “heavenly summoned” years before the fall of Khaenri’ah as Scaramouche says one of them lived with Pierro when he was a royal Madge in Khaenri’ah before he became the head of the Fatui. Both Dainslief and the Pierro must have known one another before the fall of Khaenri’ah. Maybe they were just out and out plain traitors to King Irmin, and went to the Tsaritsa to become a part of her plain to take down Celestia? The Traveler would definitely have a reason to hate Dainslief.

Interesting take at the end does make sense even using humans as Khain'riahs people if the dragone would be a big middle finger to celestia from the dragon king actually if u think about it

Been waiting for this one.

It could be that "sinners" who get wiped out don't have as much of an impact as someone being cursed to be a monster forever. Humans tend to forget history easily. So what better way to keep humans loyal to Celestia than to have constant reminders of what will happen if they stray? I do agree that most likely the Khaenri'ahns aren't human or at very least not fully human.

Solid theory and lore all in one video I'll take it!! I voted for Yae miko looking forward for that one❤❤

Redeemed or not, i am saving for him only.

Dain looks so buffed up in the thumbnail!! woah! 😄

Can’t wait to get to this nation only thing keeping me playing is the story of this game

If this is true then it makes sense why the gnosis were crafted from the remains of nibulong, cuz he's the king of dragons.

Wait so Sukuna is from khaenri'ah!?!?this explains everything!

Actually an interesting theory. I rate it, gonna see how this ages in like 2-3 years.

The curse was made made by the sustainer. She is the ruler of the kingdom of darkness, Teyvat. The curse was made so it the world would never forget or challenge Celestia ever again.

Anxious... Edit**. Tks for the mention in the video. I felt honored 🤗🌷. Regarding the theory, I think your ideas were very good. Them being dragons fits with many situations in the lore. We know that everything they put in the game is a clue to the truth. The people of Fontaine not being human is like * Seelies placed on purpose to follow us the path to the truth * Theory: The suggestion that Lumine is working for Nibelungo caught my attention. By coincidence, yesterday I was reviewing the Quest with Caterpillar and when the traveler goes to sleep, he tells a story. In the story there is a moment when "the princess joins the witch to help her*.... Lumine and Nibelung?

Didn't know we can just label people as good or bad like that.

I voted Venessa but solid video hope we get more lore on this guy in game soon!

I like the twilight sword title it sound cool😊

Layla, Clee, Clee's mom, Nahida are halfbreed dragons

Wait right before 3:00. That was Sukuna!!! Is Sukuna finally going to be our free 5 star for Genshin ????

Well I bet you're kinda eating your hat now, after playing the latest quest and hearing the sinner was.. someone else entirety

❤

well this is what happens when you look behind the curtain 😉

Or maybe dainslef like traveler can use element with no vision, look like that what he is going to be, fr color scheme he look hydro element so he may use hydro power with no vision just like traveler

Wasn’t it mentioned that Khanriah isn’t part of Teyvat though?

Worst possible timing for a lore video

Dragons, as we ‘European’ descendants know them are like what you see in media. However Asian Dragons look like ‘snakes’. So saying, “He looks like a snake!” is mute as that is how Asians dragons have always looked. Asian culture dragons differ in one way or another, usually number of toes or claws on their feet.
