Are The Twins FROM Teyvat? | Genshin Theory

So the twins reunited, but not really. And yet all I can think about is that damned flower. What secrets could the Inteyvat hold? Let's talk about it, we might even learn a thing or two about where the twins came from...

Hey, everyone! It's been...a minute. Sorry about the lack of uploads, I've had a family emergency to deal with. For the next 2 months I will have my hands full as I'm finishing up my thesis, but I will do my best to upload at least every 2 weeks. I have a lot of content to catch up to!
Anyway, onto better topics: What did you think about this quest? What do you think the Abyss Order is planning and where are the twins from? 🤔

[FrederickSkinner]

I had this theory ever since that scene after Dvalin flew away. This IS their original world before the dragon sovereigns took it. Then the PO took it and changed it. Then SWC nearly took it or did. We traveled to other worlds and time passed during this. And now, like Planet of the apes, we have finally come back. The Sea Of Flowers At The End is the Statue of Liberty moment.

I love how you acknowledge both twins as valid Travelers!

Your video made me think of a theory. What if both twins were equal in descender status up until the point where you're forced to pick one as your canon Traveler? The moment Susty traps the other sibling in her cubes is when their information gets incorporated into the Teyvat databse, sealing their fate as Abyss Sibling?

[Schnubi]

Isn't the traveller the only character ingame who can canonically use the teleport waypoints? To all the other characters they're these ancient things that just happen to be there. I too thought about the twins being from a long forgotten Teyvat far far in the past.

earth looked different 10 billion years ago.
The twins left planet billion years ago would not recognise planet now

The fact that Genshin Plot twist is hinting at something even more torturing for the twins... TEYVAT is not only in 3 cycles, one that once a civilization develops it is destroyed, 2 that Their is literally a TIMELOOP where we return non stop where we started and 3 the 4 cycles where we're in the khaenriah one, THE TWIST EVEN MORE IS THAT OF MEMORY I always believed that they themselves don't know where their from but their programmed to believe in it their origins itself is a Lie and that their from TEYVAT

[eutnngu]

finally someone is talking about this!!! this was my first thought after playing the bedtime story quest. i left comments suggesting this theory on several lore videos covering the quest in the hopes that somebody would read it and talk about it. but nobody seemed to read them lol. maybe i’ll find my comment and post it as a reply under this one

[epicazeroth]

I think it's more likely that the Inteyvat was transfered to Khaenri'ah by whoever summoned the Twins, to make it comfortable for them. The reason the flowers die outside of it is that they shouldn't even be there.

[mitab]

What if Inteyvats aren't native to the planet of teyvat?, what if the primordial one is originally from the same world that the twins are from, amd phanes took Inteyvats with them when they left,

Then they came to an unnamed planet and created the continent of teyvat, after all both phanes and the twins had the same goal, finding a new home

[romanfairy]

I've had a theory about them being from some era of tevat for a long time. Im not sure HOW they fit, but ive wondered if the abyss sibling knows that is someway and thats why they dont have the willpower to change it.

[elisabethnunez]

I think they have a connection to the SOHP, Primordial One, Third Descenders or even Nilbelung

[duellingmasterheropokeland]

I was thinking the twins were from the light realm and the true forms are some sort of draconic creature more evolved then vishaps but not as evolved as a dragon sovereign or they are the kids of Nibelung

[PoliEllyana]

And then there's Fatui wanting to burn the old world away, so, like, deleting the original leylines? That one is gonna be bugging me for a long time after this

[VeraldoAncodini]

It makes no sense for them to be, we know who the original inhabitants of Teyvat were and we know that the flower, despite its name, isn't native to this planet.
Those with sufficient access to the leylines could make a field of Inteyvat. Khaenri'ah probably made it their national flower in honor of Lumine, and the reason it petrifies outside of Khaenri'ah is because it was made artificially or they require to be "enabled" in the Irminsul ley lines for them to grow.

[davidjohnson]

I still don't see any evidence here to stack against the mountain of evidence for "Twins are aliens from elsewhere".

What it does say is that the Twins had advanced knowledge of the Inteyvat flower, before they came to Teyvat.

So there's 2 possibilities here:
(1) the Inteyvat has only ever grown in Khaenri'ah and so they must have been to Khaenri'ah before
(2) the Inteyvat also used to grow elsewhere, presumably including the destroyed home world of the Twins

Dain's statement that it only grows in Khaenri'ah is not an issue as (1) what does Dain know of other planets and (2) technically if the Twins home world was another planet and was destroyed then it's still true that Khaenri'ah is (now) the only place it can grow.

We know there's many other Terran flowers that now grow in Teyvat and would have been introduced while the Primordial One was terraforming Teyvat. Sunflowers for example. There's also many other non-plant species from Terra. Cats and dogs for example. Human beings for example. Since the Twins come from a world that had human beings (ie them) it's reasonable to suppose it was the source of the Primordial One's Ark species. So why couldn't Inteyvat have been introduced to Teyvat at that time? (presumably it wasn't named "Inteyvat" then).

The only real coincidence is that it only grows in rare conditions and it became the national flower of Khaenri'ah possibly due to it's symbolism. But that symbolism could also have applied to Terra. And the symbolism is problematic anyway. If the Inteyvat represent the way that Khaenri'ahns themselves cannot leave Khaenri'ah without becoming Cursed (brittle and undying) until they return to Khaenri'ah once more where (hypothetically) they can finally "die" properly, then this suggests Khaenri'ahn citizens out to have known about the Curse, which is also suggested in the book Perinheri, but pretty much ruled out by the confusion recorded by actual Khaenri'ahn citizens during the Cataclysm, when faced with Hilichurlification.

They didn't know about the Curse.

Perhaps this is MiHoyo's fault for making Inteyvat the national flower symbolically and jumping the gun a bit? or perhaps we're not meant to see Inteyvat as a metaphor for Neohumanism / Hilichurlification?

I hope in the end there will be choice, i want to stay with the harem i created and i cant leave paimon 😭💙 without me she cant survive

[lilo]

The "When your homeland returns to this world" thing is refferring to Khaenri'ah, where the sibling was considered to be the Princess/Prince, as seen in the Caribert Archon Quest, when Chlothar calls them "Princess/Prince of Khaenri'ah".

In Chinese, the Abyss mage says something along the lines of: "When your kingdom once again rules". You see, Homeland is never mentioned there. Early Genshin localization did have a few issues...

[rajaryan-feoy]

“HA! You though" Hoyo, probably - man my heart hurts but it made me laugh so fucking hard I can't tell you, they're monsters fr

[WhiteKoneko]

Let's add in fact MC Twins abilities mirror the 7 dragons.👀🐉
