I think the point about kinich bringing citlali inazuman papers was misinterpreted a little. Those inazuman papers are actually light novels and citlali just gaslights kinich into thinking theyre for work because she's a closet weeb lol. It only makes sense after you read mualani's character story 4 where she bribes citlali with early access to light novels lol

I think you missed something about why Natlan people won't go outside their nation.

This is actually revealed by Mavuika herself at the end of Act II; since the leylines of Natlan are weaker, the Night Kingdom acts as a substitute for them. The Wayob protects everyone within the nation as such; leaving means they would suffer memory loss and emotional issues. The Wayob are strict when it comes to people leaving the nation because that would mean extending their power beyond the borders, which should have been expended to fighting the abyss.

I love that they chose all 6 other elements to represent the 6 tribes, but found a way to incorporate pyro into all of them in some way. I'm really impressed with Natlan so far

I love that besides the polynesean/hawaiian inspirations from The People of Springs there are a third major inspiration: Brazil.
The bossa nova, one of the Obsidian's NPC named Caramuru (named by the first Portuguese to meet the Tupinambás - a major indigenous brazilian tribe).

As for Anchieta (named by the Catholic Jesuit Priest "Padre Anchieta" that founded the first schools in Brazil)
Ipora ( Good Water in Tupi-Guarany language)
and others. It hits me hard when I find Anchieta selling goods there, I, myself studied in a school named by him.

Klement, I said this before and I'll say it again: you're criminally underrated as hell; you clearly deserve more recognition, and I hope that someday I'll finally see you in that state. Great content as always! Keep up the great work!

Mavuika states at the end of the Archon quest when you talk to her at Kachina's party, that Natlanders are tied to the Wayob and the Night Kingdom since they don't have leylines. So any Natlander who ventures outside the region for too long starts loosing their memories and personality.

That's probably what happened to Vanessa's tribe, they left and completely forgot about their homeland, disconnected from the Wayob and aimlessly wandering Teyvat.

So when Venti asks for stories from Vanessa about their people, Vanessa has none to give. They're a displaced tribe far from home. :(

What I really really want to know is: What is the meaning behind the spirals being a prominent symbol throughout Natlan, especially when related to dragons/saurians? I just finished Kinich's quest yesterday and the part where we light the flames was also a spiral, and even the G symbol on the scions of the canopy are technically spirals. Then there's the various markings on the saurians, the land formations, the dragon script etc. It's Uzumaki all over again here.

Also lastly what interests me is that Natlan is basically mimicking how the archon and vision system was created with the light element refracted into 7 elements. The Wayob (archons) granting ancient names (visions) to the people, and the pyro element being "refracted" into 6 tribes with their own unique draconic trait.

On “why are the flower-feathered clan have red styled clothes” it must be because of the cucusaurs color! 😮

I just love it when klementime ta— *snores*

((Genuinely, I like your 'Kazuha' voice and hearing all the facts about Natlan))

[javisleif]

This guy is probably a teacher.. cause i can remember now every piece of lore he mentioned now thanks to his tips to remember ❤

[markvicferrer]

I hope all 6 tribes are evenly represented. Echoes, Canopy & Springs are getting a lot of exposure.

I see a new vid, I click and watch. Salamat.

8:28 if the traveler really doesnt wash their clothes, that stank probably was enough to flush the raiden shogun out of the plane of euthemia.

For the Masters of the night wind (Mictlan) tribe. Aztec (Nahua/mexico) is the main base for the tribe as seen by the npc names. For the Flower feather clan I am not too sure but hopefully someone can answer that in the comments. I do appreciate Mexico being everywhere in Natlan through the language of Nahualt an indigenous language of the Nahuas in Mexico which can be found in every tribe. Food, weapons, ancient archictecture, characters who have Mayan/Aztec influence in other tribes like Kinich, Xilonen but I'm sad they seperated Citlali and Xilonen as they are both Aztec/Nahua girlies lol. But yes, My lindo Mexico is in every tribe and throughout Natlan is just beautiful to see but can't wait for Mictlan because that's my people lol.

Great video. I'm reminded of early criticisms about Natlan saying that's too many different cultures as inspiration and would result in an incoherent mishmash. It's nice to see that in reality, each tribe is like a nation unto itself, each with its own real-world inspiration, history, and heroes.

[foxianjade]

You earned a new sub because of your voice, you sound so much like Kazuha 😭🩷 also love the vid 🫶🏻

[sunglassfrog]

One thing I exited to see about the other 3 tribes its the saurians how they look and how they plays, people say saurian mechanics in natlan its the boring or slower version of the playable character which is true but what makes natlan unique is the biodiversity of the region and how the region itself inspired by many mish mashed culture irl hope natlan will be as big as sumeru but if not then atleast I hope its as big as sumeru dessert or liyue

[Lady_Miko]

HELP I love the fact that in the beginning you had to mention the tacos being a dish in Genshin.

Btw great video! 😂🎉

[callmeandoru]

The Children of Echoes OST are metal af. Didn't know until today that that's part of their lives

[serene]

yo your explanation is so fun to watch! I really looking for more in the future! Fun production of yours! You need more recognition. Also, I'm a genshin player that don't care about lore, but bc of your video I'm so ashamed I never realized there are 3 more tribes to it! And its fun to learn their lore and characteristics! Here's to more!
