When I came across the first ruin in Natlan, I immediately thought, my God, it's the same architecture as Enkanomia and the city at the bottom of the chasm.
Good video! regarding the kokomi bit, there is also the similarity between her constellation and Neuvilette's constellation and the fact that she represents a carp and carps in myth can become a dragon, not saying this is important but its just interesting considering the big relation between Sangonomiya and inkanomiya and the whole prophecy of the reincarnation of the hydro sovereign
@@hirods9889 like the riddle of a vishap turning into a man with a cane to attend a ball, AKA- Neuvillette. Ashikai covered that a while back and i still think about that to this day.
@@KrackenSyndrome yeah exactly. So even if the dragons are not THAT bad (BSM may have exaggerated things a bit.) I believe there is some truth to it. As for what it is. It's everyone's guess
According to your theory the actual reason Hexenzirkel would have beef with Venti would be because it was he, and the bard child he now appears as, who lead the rebellion that toppled Decarabian (who you’re theorizing to be a Sovereign and I absolutely agree) But when they confronted Venti and challenged him I have a feeling Venti and Istaroth simply showed them that the moments are part of a grand plan
I have a theory that I’ve stood by for years and it’s that the Barbados and Istaroth statues are built to scale. What I mean is that they’re the size of their statues when they take their true form. I think it was proven twice. Once when Raiden shows us her power up and it’s got huge hands carrying her. And the second being Wanderer in mech form. Dottore is trying to create a god and he straight up showed you how big they are So, another reason why the witches changed their mind about confronting Venti could very well be that he simply showed them Barbados in his massive form wearing his full Archangel gear and they were like “We aren’t fighting that. Nope”
Before watching this video I had an epiphany, and I'm not sure if your video covers this, but I'm guessing it does. The architecture in Natlan that belongs to the ancient dragon civilization... looks exactly like the architecture of Dragonspine, Enkanomiya, and the Chasm. And considering the theory that Seelies are dragons... I have to wonder. Was the Unified Civilization actually called that because it was a nation of dragons and humans living together? The Seelies did guide and watch over humanity at one point (the same era as the Unified Civilization iirc) so if they are somehow related to dragons... Suddenly things are making a lot more sense. I'm unfortunately going to have to throw my theory about the twins being two halves of the Primordial One out the window if this is true, mostly because it relies on the idea that the Primordial One created Teyvat and eventually made the Shades and split themselves into the twins to save the world the twins are apparently from. It's a complicated theory BUT it could still hold some weight if I consider the idea that the twins are still the Primordial One, they're just fated to fight against their purpose (which is presumably to eradicate the dragons under this new perspective, although I previously believed the twins were created to bring Teyvat out of its bubble and make it reality, Simulanka style). Then the reason why the Abyss Prince/Princess is fighting against their original purpose is not because they don't want to lose their individuality by merging with their twin, but rather because they want to overthrow the Heavenly Principles and allow Teyvat to become like the Unified Civilization again. I'm going to have to do a lot of thinking lol
@@catdownthestreet you know i didnt say it so directly, but i mostly just covered enka. Fr, i could've added a whole section about architecture and round doors. Honestly, i wouldn't scrap the twins being the PO, just yet. The way i see it, they're from the original civilization, and they might be dragon king reborn and divided. The original PO before that title was swiped. Based on Neuv, Pahsiv, Natlan, and Linguan, human-kind seems to be the natural progression of the dragon's evolution And after seeing the shadow pins being suspiciously like sky nails, i kinda think celestia is just making knock- off brands of everything the dragons did.
Ever since caribert 2.0 iv been hyper paranoid about lore changing. The khanrian heroes locked away in natlan... I wonder if that even could be caribert? Like they weren't heroes, but he is changing it so they can be remembered that way bc despite their corruption they didn't deserve that fate? Idk. Other instances of khanrians fighting abyss predate that though so I think it unlikely in that instance. (Dragonspime messages) BUT THEN mavuika had to come and say the past and future and present are all concurrent. Nothing is real.
Also geology, I have caught 2 references, zhongli quest and chenyu, to "geoleogy" changing. That's the history of earth. The first time I thought it a translation error. When I read it in chenyu... I think it might be signs of fate/history having been re-written
Translation error as opposed to "geography" changing, i.e an event like the formation of the chasm. Geology would imply entirely different sediment formations and stuff, history rewriting
Irmansul may be over emphasized, every nation has had something pretty fundamental to the world, mondstadt and inazuma being vague to me as of yet, but seems implied. Zhonglis mora wasn't just coin, but fundamental currency for material transformation. Primordial sea in fontaine Primal fire in natlan I'm sure something about wind with venti is more important than i realized, and inazuma was just very... abstract but I think the electro ability to recall the shades and memories for the tea party with ei's dead friend was involved in the trend. I'm essence, irmansul we emphasize because it's the first time the story we manage to understand what's going on metaphysically, not because it's more important than the other elemental keystones of the world. The loom of fate, probably requires more than recreating the tree, as if the gnosis and archon systems fill that function for Celestia, we have been fixing celestias loom this whole time.
@@KurtacusRex indeed, ya gotta wonder what the order's been doing with the loom since it's been completed. It would be a nice call back to see another remnant of Caribert's tampering before his consciousness dissolved, i think.
@@KurtacusRex oh man, this is a topic i haven't wanted to touch as of yet, but yes. Mondstadt, i feel, was tricky cause it was the start, and there was simply too much to introduce. The big take away from that is the potential of Allogens/vision holders and the fact that the game is kick started about saving a dragon. Again, in inazuma, it was mostly about visions, and how much they're a literal piece of their bearer. (Though optional, it also covers the consequence of not having a leyline tree, compared to having one.)
