INSANE Truth of Welkin Moon | Genshin Impact Theory

In this Genshin Impact Theory video, I will discuss the biggest secrets hidden behind the Welkin Moon attempt to expose the truth behind the story of Genshin Impact. While we can assume that the Welkin Moon has nothing to do with the story and is a simple mechanic for rewards within the game of Genshin Impact, the Welkin Moon Lady is hiding the biggest secret. A puzzle piece that will explain everything about the lore inside the game. She is quite literally connected to everyone and everything.

Unironically, we’ve already seen her inside the game. This video will include stories up to Genshin Impact patch Version 3.5. Everything to do with the ancient civilization, Seelies and the 3 Moon Sisters, the Abyss Order, the Traveler siblings, the memories of the Irminsul, and even spanning from Nahida to Venti. This video is part two of my long going series of the structure of the world in Genshin Impact.

[IslandXD]

Hello everyone! Thank you all for waiting so patiently!!!
I hope you enjoy the video, and here are some additional notes and context for the video:

You might be confused with the implications behind the Stars’ Blessing. It actually makes sense to Layla, because her backstory with sleepwalking and her state of mind and consciousness within dreams. Not to mention, her idle and attack animations are essentially Stars that are accompanied by a Moon.

As for the topic of Elves, I am speculating that Alice is a purebred Elf like Nahida. I could be wrong. But I am suspecting that any characters with Elven ears with white hair and pale complexions are purebreds. It is also interesting to consider that Alice has deep connections with the Adventurer’s Guild and their Moto is “Ad Astra Abyssosque” which means Journey to the Stars and Abyss, giving another connection to how Layla’s “Stars’ Blessing” might be connected with the Moons, particularly with the Abyss.

As for characters like Layla and Klee, I am assuming that they are half Elves. Also, I am aware that Iansan of Natlan does not have pale complexions as I am assuming. She probably just got a tan xd.

Of course, I just want to make sure to say…
Remember… This is just a Theory…

Venti also has his own cycle of sleep and reawakening. He sleeps for long periods of time and reawakening when Monstadt needs him. this ties back to dreams and stars as well as Alice, as the Golden Apple Archipelago is the severed mountaintops of Monstadt severed by Venti himself. Venti seems to be intrinsically linked to every subsection of this games lore, as well as the concept of Samsaras. This also brings forth the idea that the game starts and ends in Monstadt. Venti is therefore also linked to Nahida in multiple ways, as well as Alice, and is also the only Archon (other than Nahida) that hasn't gotten a Story Quest 2. I'm very excited for 3.5 because of the Dain Quest as well.

[wuttatota]

To be honest there's SO MANY sus things about Venti. Him showing the people in windblume their memories from the past?? Venti seemingly able to govern souls in Mondstadt and lead them to the afterlife. The line he says about knowing every song from the past, present, and future. His gnosis being the Queen piece. And that's not even scratching at his Istaroth connections.

I think it's very telling how Ei and Zhongli got their second story quest first before Venti, because they can't reveal too much about Venti just yet.

[Kanashimi]

To add a spice to this theory, Venti's skill is called "SKYWARD SONNET"

[t.k.]

Also Mondstadt literally means 'moon city'. We can see the moon over green fields in Venti's eyes...

[eiarsan]

Legit since the beginning i've been thinking that the moon should have a bigger role in Genshin story since Hoyo loves the "Moon" so much considering their very first character, Kiana (most likely derived from Diana), means the moon princess/goddess and they've been reusing her in all of their games excluding ToT and ZZZ. I won't be surprised if the moon is connected to the Sustainer tbh.

[Dhooparty]

Wouldn't be suprised if the Blessing of the Welkin Moon and Abyssal Moon giving us primogems essentially means that primogems are fragments of the moon sister's bodies. The seelies are always guiding us to treasure and within those chests are often primogems.

[zaura]

At first I thought the Unknown God was the shade of space, because of how her powers looked. But now I think that she is the shade of death, because she seems to be some kind of executioner. She is the only one who comes to stop/kill us. And she's heavily implied to be the one who destroyed Khaenri'ah. That's all I have XD.

[RejectedInch]

On point! As always! I cannot shake off the fact that Nahida, in her character story quest, sees only ONE shooting star, not 2. Also i don't think the moon in the loading screen is one of the 3 sisters. All mons in game are full, while the one in the loading screen is a crescent moon, while the icon of the Welin is a waxing moon. Like the location of the loading screen does not belong to Teyvat therefore is not ruled by its laws, planets included. Side note: there's another entity that is not affected by changes in Irminsul.... Zhongli.

[maiphan]

Btw something I want to add. Mondstadt means "moon city" and Liyue means "glazed moon". Perhaps Venti and Zhongli has something to do with the moon sisters. They also give up their Gnosis very easily. Venti pretending to be easily subdue by Signora was very suspicious since only the top 3 Harbingers has powers that rival Archons. Therefore, it can be deduced that he gave the Gnosis to the Cryo Archon. Zhongli also make a contract with the Tsaritsa and gave the Gnosis away. Also I think Klee's mother, Alice, could potentially have the answer to all. Alice was a close friend of Gold or Rhinedottir, the "Great Sinner" who was responsible for the Cataclysm 500 years ago. She's not affected by Irmunsul and is assumed to be an outlander. Klee's an elf and probably so is Alice. Khaenri'ah is also probably related to the moons. The Eclipse Dynasty, which literally means the moon, was the last dynasty before Khaenri'ah fell. The recent Caribert interlude chapter also reveals the gemstone that is linked to the Abyss and called himself a "Sinner". Perhaps the 3 moon sisters' fallout has something to do with this. That was a great video though with detail analysis though!

[namelessjaysun]

3 moon sisters story could be an allegory. It could represents the 3 realms. Light realm, Abyss realm and Human Realm

[jayemmzz]

I always enjoy these types of videos and thought thats put into it that just makes you really think or wonder. A lot of the theories that actually gotten correct like the albedo or signora one just ages like fine wine, and even the ones that got wrong (like baizhu being the dendro archon) are still an interesting take and is still really entertaining to listen to, and to be fair a lot of the context are still yet to discovered until some of the regions went live, but the fact that you can still piece these parts just from tiny details or info scrambled across the teyvat just makes these even more amazing.

[Veremisia]

The thing that first drew me towards you as a Content Creator were your well thought-out lore videos. When I discovered your first lore videos, I was so hooked, had to share them with all my friends, because of how well researched and laid out they were. Then I started watching you more and more, even tuned into your streams and got a little sad that at some point, your theory videos had gotten less and less. I am so glad to finally have a new theory video! Theory Thursdays are fun, but your dedication to the lore and uncovering the truth really shines through the best in this format. I am aware that video editing is a tough job, especially with how much effort you put into yours, but I hope that maybe, possibly? we can see more videos from you again!

With the upcoming Dainsleif quest in 3.5, I am sure that we will get another lore bomb dropped on our heads and I hope that it will give you enough fuel to make another video!
Love you lots, Island! Great video, great theory and see you in the next livestream (that I can catch, bc european timezones are suffering)!

What's interesting is that you mentioned how Teyvat goes through a samsara of life and death. This is similar to how in Honkai Impact it was confirmed that humanity goes through a 50000 year samsara of civilisation growing (life) and the honkai wiping it out (death).

[solonfey]

And don't forget that Venti's VA is the one who sang the Opening song of Genshin Impact

[ItsRaijinGaming]

Bro, you did a MAGNIFIC job. The wait was worth, a well explained theory about EVERYTHING, and in the end VENTI IS SUS! Have a good rest, a break and a burger! You deserve it! (PS: I've edited the word TERRIFIC and replaced with MAGNIFIC because i was trying to say with TERRIFIC on how AMAZING was your video, not anything bad.)

[HamSlacks]

Honestly fucking brilliant. Like these are all a bunch of sub topics, observations, and rabbit holee I've gone down within the last few years. But dude. You did so much better at connecting and tying all these things together than I ever could. Worth the wait.

[mi.mapuchi]

It may sound crazy, but what if... the flower-Paimon(moon goddess, goddess of life), feather-Barbatos (god of death?), clock-Istaroth (moon goddess, goddess of time), cup-Asmoday (moon goddess, goddess of emptiness), crown-Primordial One. It makes sense, as Paimon is precisely connected with Celestia, the statue in Inazuma (defined by Istaroth ) is similar to Welkin moon, feathers are a direct symbol of Venti + his connection with moons/time/Istaroth

Seelies came from Celestia, they were messengers of heaven and helped people, but they were not shades. It was a separate developed race. As for Venti, there is also a fact that after the death, Venti directs souls with wind. + Everyone knows the joke that each character with anemo vision has a dead friend? Remembering that obtaining a vision is based on the character or life position (which corresponds to the archon). Does that mean that every owner of anemo vision goes through death? Just like Venti being the God of Death. And Venti also gave blessings many times, but I want to remember one very important thing. It is thanks to the blessing of Anemo Archon that all gliders can fly. The scientist from Sumeru studied this and realised that it did not lend itself to the laws of physics. We have never seen such a "global" blessing from other archons. But this just crazy thoughts…

[AbcightDev]

Another Venti connection that was not mentioned in the video; it was the civilization of seelies whose destruction started the fight between the moon sisters, and venti was a seelie before becoming an archon.

[aoi]

One more thing I noticed is that, Venti's skill is also called 'Skyward Sonnet'
