Now I want a lore recap of the entire lore before the game's events (Creation, Descenders, Enkanomiya, etc..)

[lunar]

this makes me feel very nostalgic.. i can’t believe snezhnaya is literally next year 😭😭

[Nightstar]

"Apparently the people from fontaine are BUILT different"

[ArchonKujo]

I can't believe that we've been through this game for 4 years straight and it's already reaching new insane lores in every nation we enter, here I wasn't really that excited for Natlan and man I regretted on said that before

[demilettucee]

A history of a game that has spanned for 4 years condensed into an almost 30 minute video is insane work. Hats off to you!

[GiraultAndrea]

having a story recap is nice, especially for the earlier parts because i haven't done them in a while

[Therian_Puppy]

the traveler should imo become more and more jaded since every region is the same cycle of "oh ill help if you do this, this, this, this, this, this and this." and then "oh sorry idk lol ill keep an eye out i guess" it should piss them off to no end ffs

[OhLordSpareHer]

Out of all of the beautiful (archon) quests, the Sumeru one is just best imo. I love Sumeru so so much ahh. It gives me so much nostalgia for some reason.

[lenxac]

A 4 years worth of story turns into 27min video. Amazing!!

[Blueberieeee]

I cant believe natlan is in just a few days and snezhnaya is next year..I remember how hyped i was during fontaine like it was yesterday

[CynariGames]

thank you for the recap!! absolutely insane that we are now headed to natlan. Natlan felt like it was an eternity away, even when Fontaine released last year

I think the Fatui probably have 6/7 of the Gnoses. The Fatui took the Anemo, Geo, Electro, Dendro, and Hydro gnoses. Since the Tsaritsa is the Cryo Archon, odds are high she already possesses the Cryo gnosis unless something unexpected happened... So if my assumption that the Cryo archon has the Cryo gnosis is correct, then the Pyro gnosis is the final chess piece to obtain...

[gahdayumshawty]

now that I think about it, Inazuma's story was perfect, it was just that the story telling was messed up with alot of wasted potential

also sumeru and fontaine were PEAK ong, with both story and story telling, I have high hopes for Natlan

[furishirogane]

Although The Global scale production of Mora is done by Liyue Golden House with the help of geo gnosis (as it stopped operating when it's taken) there's no line or text in game that ever says Mora is created by the power of Geo Gnosis in the first place.

According to Zhongli SQ1, Rex Lapis taught his people how to build a house using Mora at the beginning of Liyue Harbor's construction. Following the recent info from Xianyun's SQ about Guili Assembly's fall being the peak of Liyue Archon War, that means Rex Lapis relocating his people back to the sounth of Mt.Tianheng and the construction of Liyue Harbor were done at the height of war. He wasn't even an archon yet he already had the power to build a house of out Mora. Not to mention how Hoyo pushing his Deus Auri title a lot lately. So it isn't about Geo Gnosis being the power that creates Mora, but about Liyue Golden House is no longer able to produce Mora without it hence the "no new Mora can be minted".

[sssocker]

even after “the road not taken” animated short people still don't want to admit that the POV that hoyo is trying to tell is aether looking for lumine not lumine looking for aether. it is what it is

[deannerodriguez]

Zhongli can still make mora, timeline wise, it won’t make sense if he can’t. He’s been making mora since the beginning of Liyue, 3700 years ago via his SQ1 talking about making the first house of Liyue fully out of mora… and the end of the archon war and the likely place a gnosis is given was 2000 years ago. The Geo Gemstone says its his flesh and blood, even people from Sumeru says so. And he’s called Deus Auri by Neuvi, literally meaning “Gold God”. Add that in The Dialogue of the Desert Sage, the magical wand looking polearm… Aamon said that transformation into gold and mora are the Sole Province of Deus Auri. In the AQ, Zhongli was talking about needing the Geo Archon’s power to create mora… who is suppose to be dead, it won’t make sense if new mora still is being minted or more are appearing out of no where when the only god that can make mora is dead… basically its Zhongli being vague at best… which he is…a lot of times like his age…

[ASCZHER]

It seems that most all the Archons that the traveller meet so far has a intention of or has an event that seems having something to do to the liberation of the people of all Teyvat and its beings.
Maybe just maybe most of the current Archons want it except for the Tsaritsa (or maybe its an act to convince people that she is cold hearted) that in the end she will have the middle finger in front of the Heavenly Principles.
The Archons however will remain to guide the people just to ensure that the powers and the beings of the Abyss will be at bay. Also to avoid the same mistakes of Khaenri'ah.

[ArchonKujo]

It's honestly crazy that we're already heading to Natlan, I remember a video like this before Fontaine dropped and time flies fast...

[ToastieSwiftie-udit]

dang this makes me realize how old this game is getting

[inertia]

am i the only one that’s tearing up watching the video? as a 1.0 player, i love the game story so much and recapping it makes me me emotional😢
