Mondstadt Character Secrets [Genshin Impact Lore] 

i find mondstadt to be the intriguing region just because of how many secrets all of those characters have, there is just way too much left unsaid

Another possible fact about Kaeya and Lisa: - Kaeya's work does not line up with the duties and responsibilities of a Cavarly Captain, and rather matches up with a Spymaster. - Thus it is Theorized that Cavarly Captain is a Title to hide his actual activities from the general public and the Snezhnayan diplomats all over the city. - Given the point above, Lisa's title as "Librarian of the Nights of Favonius" and "Witch of Purple Roses" also come into question, especially after taking into account that in Mondstadean culture, roses symbolise important secrets that shouldn't be revealed to anyone, and that Lisa's Design has Roses all over it. - Thus She might actually be the Secretary of the Knights of Favonius, not in the boring modern sense of the word of course, but the original cooler "Keeper of Confidential Secrets" sense. - Also: 1) With what we found out about Irminsul rewriting History, but over looking texts that are more fictional in nature. 2) What we learn about how Lisa goes around doing her Job. 3) That Lisa holds a number of books that the Abyss Order is after in her Library. Lisa might be secretly collecting Fictional books which she suspects contain hidden truths about the actual History of the Continent. - Lastly, since the Colour purple is associated with the lightning of Inazuma, whose Ideal is Eternity, Lisa's witchcraft title changes from: "Witch of Purple Roses" to *Witch of Eternal Secrets*

Another secret about Lisa: she seems to be aware of the Aranara and have tried to build a device that can view them. Remember Venti's story quest that began with a special device that lets you see people's childhood imaginary friends that adults generally dont have anymore? It was made by Lisa, and she traveled back to Sumeru to get the materials she needs. And even crazier: there are devices called seed mirrors at various places in the Sumeru rainforest that allow you to detect mischievous Aranara in hiding. How do you operate it? Apply Electro.

Another interesting thing about Kaeya that is actually in Mona's voicelines, she says: "Kaeya Alberich? He's a Pavo Ocellus. Destined for greatness and grandeur... and to hide ugly realities behind a layer of charm and elegance. He believes he has made a clean break with his past, but one day fate will catch up with him. When it does, he will have a major decision to make." People often say that they don't know which side Kaeya is on, Khaenri'ah or Mondstat, but Mona says, "He believes he has made a clean break with his past", so that indicates that he has already decided to refuse whatever mission his father gave him and has chosen to live peacefully in Mondstat. But Mona also says, "but one day fate will catch up with him. When it does, he will have a major decision to make." it shows that eventually he will have a confrontation with Khaenri'ah/the Abyss, likely involving said party to do something to Mondstat for the salvation of Khaenri'ah. And it will be for Kaeya to decide if he will try to stop them, or let it happen. I do not know if Kaeya will choose Mondstat or Khaenri'ah when that time comes, just because he chose Mondstat doesn't necessarily mean he will not change his mind, but I feel like he will choose Mondstat because he has already chosen them, making the probability he will chose Mondstat higher, his relationship with Diluc will give him more incentive to not betray Mondstat, and the mere fact that he's playable

I love the backstory for Venti forging Morax's signature in the slave contract. It does so many things in one story. It shows just how corrupt the old noble families were. It shows just how important the idea of freedom might be to Monstadt considering their history. It also shows that although Venti believes in freedom, he's willing to manipulate the people towards freedom

Eula's vengeance is literally "I will remember this", as in "I will remember your kindness and I will pay you back". She acknowledges that her family line has brought harm to Mondstadt so she herself embodies all the sins of her bloodline and convert them all into kindness. She doesn't care if others see her as a sinner or a weird person, as long as she protects and brings positivity to the people, that's all that matters, she will erase the stigma of her bloodline by ending all the sins that associates with her family.

In Germany the rose was used as a sybole of silence and secrecy during the medieval times. A picture of a rose could be found for example near the confessional. I visited Eltz castle a few months ago and there was this one conference room. The first thing you saw was a jester mask, a symbol to speek freely in this room and on the only exit door was a carving of a Rose, a reminder that nothing should be repeated outside of the room. That little detail about Noelle was realy cool.

Interestingly, the rose thing has origins in our world as well. the term "Subrosa" means to keep things secret, and literally translates to "under the Rose".

To tell all Venti’s secrets, you need a video of more than 30 minutes😅

Sucrose is the most mysterious and sus to me. She doesn't show up often (fix that Mihoyo) but when she does a little more about her... interests are revealed. She definitely feels like the type of scientist to do whatever it takes for her experiments. I do hope for a hangout story with her soon.

another fact about kaeya is how he enjoys putting other people in difficult situations ( activating a ruin guard to cut his opponent off which put all of them in danger ) maybe as unintentional way on releasing his frustration on his kaenriah-mondstadt dilemma

Venti doesn't fake his stories, remember that nahida said histories and memories that are hidden well in songs or poems can't get erased by irminsul, and that's what venti's doing, he's preserving them. Well that's my theory anyway

Barbara is like Elizabeth from Kuroshitsuji with that sword thing. Will we get an epic moment of Barbara slaying enemies like Elizabeth did? Would be epic

What I find interesting was that Mona and Ningguang were actually the first hint to us towards what happens to Visions when their masters die or give them up. Since Mona's was an old Vision and Ningguang's was explicitly stated to have been put on the market after some old lady died, (Ning wasn't exactly happy about it relighting either) Kazuha really just reinforced a point that had already been made in the game when he told us that tidbit.

Whenever I encounter secrets in a Hoyoverse game I think back to Elysia in Honkai. Long story short a lot of players thought she was really suspicious. We were suspicious for nothing, it actually made some of us feel bad cause she was one the nicest and most forward characters, and people just distrusted her for no reason. Her little secret could hardly be called a secret, she was actually that forward with it.

Happy 2023!!! One of the biggest pieces of Mondstadt lore that intrigue me is the artifact lore. Being overly convoluted as it is, they definitely drive a lot of people away but the essay-long 5 star artifacts arent the prime focus here. The ones I’m focusing on are the lesser known 3 star and 4 star artifacts, which, surprise surprise, can be primary found only in Mondstadt and Liyue. Sets like Exile, Traveling Doctor, and Resolution of Sojourner have or will hint towards Mondstadt characters, based on existing theories on artifact lore! And don’t even get me started on the 3/4 star tiaras… even if they don’t directly correspond with Mondstadt or Liyue, they show hints towards Khenriah and Celestia. That alone should explain well enough how important these tiaras could be.

rubedo - the reddening - is the last step of the magnum opus giving your creation blood, so it can start to live. citrinitas - goldening - is giving your creation morals and ethics. if rubedo comes first, then the creation might come to life without being an ethical being, which might be leading to destruction ("if one day, i destroy mondstadt ..."). so the incorrect order of the creation of life might be a fatal mistake by gold (funny how her name is gold and the "goldening" stage cames too late)

I never noticed how built Bennett’s character model is.

1:52 "So technically if you ask who is the crimson knight in the KoF you'd have 2 answers.....BARBARA"

Don't forget that Nymph spent a year nominating only Lisa for the position of captain following their two minute practice duel.

imagine if Barbara getting sick of using catalyst so she just start using sword hitting enemy

Barbara is so real for only allowing herself 30 second- depression😂😭😭😭I am crying

Bennets title is trial by fire but in stories, all trials start for a grand reason i always wonder what the reason for his trial is and if will it ever be revealed

2 interesting things I wish to mention is about Fischl and Klee. Amy’s Cosplay of Prinzessin Fischl might have 2 inaccuracies about it, in the cover of the book “Flowers for Princess Fischl” you can see that the character Fischl has white hair, and that you are unable to see the color of her free eye. Amy would’ve been unable to dye her hair and make a cosplay eye contact even if she knew Fischl’s Eye color. (Read the book “Legend of the Shattered Halberd” to learn something even more interesting) Now as for Klee, she is the complete epitome of “Happy Go Lucky” (while as for Itto, who is the epitome for Dumb Strong)

You could have also talked about Razor's crude wooden box where he keeps items given by friends. We don't really know who gave which item, so it's fun to theorize :D great video!

Everyone in Mondstadt plays Genshin Impact while diluc here be playing Assassin's Creed with his secret contacts

“Albedo eats spiders.” Me: *chokes on water*

List of Mysterious or sussy Character in every region throughout lore: Mondstad: Albedo Kaeya Venti Varka Alice Lisa Liyue: Baizhu Inazuma: Maybe kokomi, with her dragon constellation theory and dark sea relation? (Can't find any mysterious side of inazuma character, since all of them seems just live their life without any hiden agenda.) Sumeru: Dottore Scarlet king? I wonder why Mondstad chara has the most unfinished story and mystery around them while other region just mind their own business. Ei and Nahida is not in the list since theirs story already done, and we know almost their back story. Zhongli story almost done too (The only mysterious things about him is his contract with tsaritsa and celestia)

i main kaeya but i never read his character story until a few days ago 😭 his story is actually really crazy

are sucrose ears a consequence of one of her experiments or she is a desecndant to the kitsune tribe from the dandelion sea? like, some kitsune left dandelion sea and went to inazuma while a few stayed

I like this, I hope we get videos like this for the other nations as well. personally, I do read all the character stories and voice lines I unlock, but that's just for the ones I unlock, so learning details about characters I haven't gotten high friendship on is great. and even for the ones I do know, it's just entertaining to hear in this format.

A cute little tip bit I don’t think anyone has noticed, her in friendship info or ascending info (I forget which one) it states she is sucker for romance and she love to look out to window at windrise and dream and somebody being that relationship. But a lot of people don’t know that her favorite book is Vera Melancholy a romance book. AND there is a copy of it on Dilucs desk (you probably won’t see it if u haven’t already picked it up) which may be a tip but towards them have the same longing

I want another Amber Story quest I’d like to know more about this Intelligence network, maybe expand Mondstat to include a traversal sewer season

People definitely over look the character stories. People on tiktok were arguing because they swore up and down that it isn’t confirmed that kaeya is from khaenri’ah

mondstadt is one of the most wholesome yet terrifying nations I love it

One day we’ll get older versions of units and I’d love to see Barbara be a hard carry dps with her sword

Additional fun fact, Mona have decent salary, but she spends too much mora to purchase everything related to astrology that she ends up running out of budget for necessary stuff like food. GAA event revealed that. Also, Fischl's real name isn't really hidden. Even the trailer gave hint when her dad called her in real name which in turn she responds to it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but somewhere I read that Noelle's red roses also mean extreme commitment and loyalty... I can't remember well though.

Thank you so much Aster! The little lore bits were so interesting to listen to ❤

Thought I heard "Klee's hidden bong caches"

Can't wait for secrets of the other regions, I love this so much! Also, I hope we get more in-depth lore about magic and the witch coven The Hexenzirkel. I feel they were glossed over too quick.

happy new year! I feel like we need to learn more about Sucrose! She is one of the most secret and sus characters in the whole game in my opinion. We dont know much about her, but the things that we know are quite scary i'd say. She stalked Diona, she experiments on hillichurls and even has the same attack patterns then the anemo cube! Her goal is it to create a world for her friends. I really think she will be important later on! It feels like she knows something of Khaenriah but just doesnt wanna tell us. Hopefully we get to see her more often!!!!

Btw Fischl always do an investigation in a wrong way but ended up with right answer, in conclusion its she like invented her own math calculation and got the answer right this is during event in Mona, Fischl and Scaramouch first appearance

*Another obscure fact about Sucrose:* Keep a Hilichurl jail trapped within her laboratory.

another fact for Noelle, she carries a baron bunny too, but its not rigged to explode.

Kaeya dad's eyes were full of hope and hatred. Hope of what. Hatred towards who.

I knew most of those😅 I really am obssessed with Mondstadt😂😭

Aster can voice over a character in genshin

just a quick thing!!! Albedo is *not* backwards in his stages of Alchemy,, his is derived from Ancient Egypt, the original creators of Alchemy itself~ the stages are Nigredo, Albedo, Citrinitas; the Dark, the Moonlight, the Sun; Soil, Chalk, Gold. Rubedo is the process in between, the Sunrise, the Change, the Refinement. the source everyone has been getting information from to say hes backwards comes from a guy (not too long ago) trying to explain the processes in relation to the stages of death, further adding to the misunderstanding of the *original* processes of Alchemy, by the Ancient Egyptians,, Ancient Egyptians started talking with Ancient Greeks, taught them Alchemy, they made advancements in both places, and then the Romans came and messed everything up, so alot of the actual original processes and meaning got taken over by greed and the literal "turning lead into gold" instead of 'purify something to its stability' and in game, its stated that people didnt think much of Alchemy... other than helping make a thing or help a little here and there. until Albedo came around and showed them what its capabilities are~

If barbara is a sword user she will be the first medium female sword user of mondstadt. For now we didn't have any mondstadter medium female sword user mondstadt:? (barbara if she learn to use sword) liyue: keqing inazuma: ayaka sumeru: nilou

I just had a crazy thought about Mona , if Mona writes for the court of Fontaine,what if we saw her in Fontaine and if Sandrone is the main antagonist for the Fontaine archon quest ,what if sandrone controlled Mona like a puppet and Mona would be come like a boss fight. I’m mean sandrone’s code name is “ marionette”

I feel like Diluc’s intelligence network includes high ranking people in the adventurers guild and even the Hexenzirkel. He probably knows (or at least has correspondence with) Dori, Beidou, Ningguang, and any other well-connected people who might be known internationally. He also hunted the Fatui harbingers for a while. It’s in the manga. He didn’t manage to kill any of them but he foiled Dottore’s plans in mondstadt. I really hope Diluc gets to kill Dottore. It would be revenge for Crepus. Either Diluc, or Collei since she suffered at his hands. Alternatively an Alhaitham and Kaveh teamup would be pretty cool since they represent the 2 sides of Deshret, rational and emotional. And though Deshret also did some questionable things, he ultimately did what he did with his people’s best interests at heart (including sacrificing himself to save them from his mistake) and he valued his friends more than anything else, which is the exact opposite of Dottore putting experimental results ahead of lives, loyalty, and ethics.

Happy new year Aster! Thanks for deep diving in the lore and digging up such wonderful details,love the content and your personality in general! Keep up the great work and keep being awesome!

I have not gotten a lot of character stories yet, but now I'm very much intrigued after learning Barbara can apparently use a sword and may be GOOD with it??????????? Also, love these smaller chill with minor lore videos. It's nice learning about the characters in some ways both light hearted and more serious of themselves.

That fact that Barbara can use a sword is…scary loo

The part when Nahi showed us the fairy tale that she hide somewhere in Irminsul, many ppl just didnt regconise but the main idea of the part is “There is someway to evade Irminsul not to change or erased the information by hidden in songs, stories or poems”. Seems like Venti sus again in the lore of ọther nations

I think Mona's voice line for Venti is easily overlook,because before the wind thingy. Mona saw a scryglass while looking at Venti's constellation. Or it's just me?

happy new years and love this content!!!

idk if this is translation weirdness or not and if someone can correct me on this please do, but everything that you can see about klees status in the knights of favonius, she is considered a full fledge knight without directly stating it

I hope Amber will see her grandfather again 😊

i never knew so many of the things you said! i honestly kinda forgot about mondstat until now lol

you barely even touched upon Venti's fake stories For those who haven't read his 2nd story, Venti has a habit of portraying Lord Barbatos as a mischievous trickster god in his stories and poems, something highly unapproved of by the church of Favonius

Bennett contesting Guts with how much suffering they took lol

Happy new year aster🥳🥳

I wish we would get more story quests for older character. They should release like 4 story quests each patch

Wow 1:38 that's pretty cool

Horray! Happy late or early new years to everyone!

When it come to Albedo...maybe we are the ones who have it the wrong way around? And thats why alchemy dont work in our world? Food for thought! XD

I really hope you do this with the other nations as well, it's really fun.

Barbados is really the "dude, trust me" archon

Monstadt is slowly becoming the Ohio of Teyvat

I love the game it's lore and characters and I like reading books irl but for some reason I can't bring myself to read the character stories in games or the books and notes and stuff. Someday I'll go trough all of the characters stories and profiles but it's not gonna be soon.

Happy New Year

4:47 Wait... did I just hear a Harry Potter reference there?

Mona's vision doesn't actually glow when you use an ability. She just use it as a memento from his master. she can use hydro abilities because she is a mage like klee's mom and the coffin 🧍‍♂️

oooo love the intro

To be honest Mondstadt's story feels unfinished in a sense. Like there's an expansion and/or timeskip incoming. The one I personally feel for the strongest is Noelle. I really think that she'll have a "you don't need to be a knight to express the values of one" moment, where, in spite of people fearing for her safety, she decides to help and completely turns the tides in a huge upcoming conflict.

Mondstaders:- normal modern names. Liyuens:- decent Chinese names. Inazumans:- short and simple japanese names. Meanwhile NPCs in sumeru:- archaic ancient Hindi names 😂 and incorrect gender names 😂

Imagine if Venti is also the god of lies, he lies often and hides information, its a big part of his personality

so since Hydro useres are well known for its wealth, would be Barbara is one of the richest girl in Monstahdt behind Mona 🤔

Venti and Kaeya are the most sus among these characters

Wholesome video ngl

monstadt of all nations feels like the most like you haven't seen the last of it, there's too much lying in wait, too much potential to be left as just the prologue chapter.

Let's be honest, many of us went into this waiting for the "Albedo eats spiders" fact

Imagine if Venti would turn out to be the biggest traitor amongst all of them lol idk but honestly monsdaht has alot of Sus Chrs.

SSR Barbara. But it's not surprising she was trained with a sword, she comes from a family of knights and her father was an adventurer. Would she just be like Jean though, a healing knight, her family seems to be more like Paladins.

is Kaeya the only survivor of kaenri'ah? in the story it is said that the people of kaenri'ah get cursed and turned into hilichurl, so how did Kaeya survive it? and is he the only one who survive it? Albedo is not a human, so there's a chance the curse didn't befall him because of that...

I seriously want to see Barbara wielding a sword

Hi Aster!

I feel like Sucrose being the first to introduce us into tcg while she herself doesn't know who sent her this gives me a feeling she's prolly related to someone really strong and important to story in later chaps, prolly also in the opposing side. Dottore is my guess but oh well

\\m//Happy New Year Aster\\m// Hope this year brings lots of Intriguing Lore and Secrets 😏😏😏 ... and lore on the Spiral Abyss unless I didn't pay enough attention to it cause I still find that place Sus... especially when we where in the Yelan and Xiao event that we saw some arena like place that was connected to the Abyss... I was so sure they where gonna use that platform soon for something 🤣🤣🤣 Like summoning lots of Abyssals Creatures or even meeting Skirk since she's been the character I've been most interested in ever since Child mentioned her 🤔 ...wonder if this year we'll get to see something of her at least 🤔

Hearing Seamus pronounced as See-mis threw me for a loop ngl. The Irish are typing in the chat as we speak.

Hey hey. Loved the video as always. One thing I want to say is Barbara’s fathers name is pronounced shay-mus not sea-mus. Sorry if this seems nit picky. Love your videos

FINAALLYY SOMEONE KNOWS THAT AMBER IS PART LIYUEAN :DDD

MONDSTADT!!

I just wanted part II story quest for every character now

what a relaxing voice

I like the new intro

Hi! I stumbled upon this vid and I would like to know what you're saying since I am deaf. Been desperately wanting to know what you're talking about Kaeya, haha. Liked!

Mondstadt!
