Biggest Natlan Reveals From 5.1 (Abyss WAIFU Confirmed?!?) | Genshin Impact Lore

The Rainbow Destined to Burn is definitely one of the best, if not the best, Archon Quests in Genshin Impact so far. As expected, Version 5.1 brought with it an outstanding amount of Lore and Story revelations for the players.

We got insight on False Sky, Ronova & Xbalanque, the Heart of the Abyss, the origins of Ley Lines, and even a confirmation that Seelies are Teyvat's Angels!

That's a lot, so I decided to compile most of the important details into a single video to simplify the explanation process and reference it in the future when needed.

Thanks for watching 🙂!

Will you make a predictions video in anticipation of 5.3 and what we'll find in the Abyss, and exactly who or what we'll be fighting with Mauvika?

[Gnidel]

I think "the price is death" doesn't mean that the user will die. I think it means giving away death, making the person unable to die. Functionally cursing the person with the curse of immortality. If Capitano has the power of Ronova, it could mean that the user of her power in Khaenri'ah failed to pay the price so the rest of the nation paid it, cursing entire nation.

[BlueDaisy]

i swear Kaeya becomes more and more sus every patch, like that boy knows something. anyway time to reread princess Mina and get a headache

[DrakeWurrum]

From some searching into the original inspiration of Yog-Sothoth: "In one case involving the town of Dunwich, Yog-Sothoth is known to have been summoned for the purposes of impregnating a human female, who then gave birth to two partially-human children."

Ayo? I feel like you need to do a video on her sooner rather than later, because now I'm wondering if the Traveler twins might by children of the Abyss instead of gods of light....

Alternatively, this could explain the true origins of the people of Khaen'riah, if not the "gods" of Teyvat along with their association with the Ars Goetia...

[danieldodson]

On the topic of the broken moon beyond the sky, there is a short world quest involving a "star fragment, " in the westernmost corner of Natlan. The fragment itself looks a lot like the fragments of that moon. And during the quest, it is revealed that there are apparently legends about people reuniting the fragments of a fallen star and being granted powers for doing so. Granted that legend is told to us by a literal child, so a grain of salt applies.

Additionally, another little fact of potentially no lore significance, is that this "star fragment" bears a distinct materials pattern called the Widmanstätten pattern, and is only found in meteorites because of the conditions for forming the pattern only exist in space.

[ReverseElectro]

To be honest, at this point, between your old explanation using Jakob Baker and Neuvillette along with Arlecchino and now the Wayob, I think that the theory of Khaenri'ahns being directly related to Seelies has surpassed the point of speculation. We're now just waiting for Hoyoverse to outright confirm it. The evidence is just too overwhelming in favour of that.

[Necrochaosium]

Another thing about the quest that was revealed is how the abyss itself copies and reproduces things from teyvat to use as weapons. We have that shapeshifting abyssal "flower" that can become almost any entity. (this was also shown in muatani's quest in 5.1 also)
I like that you linked wayobs with the "guardian angels" of the unified civilization, wayobs themselves are like guardian angels of the night kingdom reflecting peoples wishes to protect themselves from the the darkness of the abyss. The relationship to abyssal inquisitors, jacob (formed by eating pieces of elynas), all that borrowed power. The kinship between durin and elynas with almost identical stories . (decent entities trapped within nightmare forms and clouded by delusions by who knows what).
Gold herself who seems to been made insane (with lucid moments), makes me think also that alice found some way to stabilize gold's insanity.
We still have the unknown formation of ousia and pnuema in fontaine that hasnt been explained fully which is likely related to the whole phlogistan energy -> elemental energy

[rajaryan-feoy]

The Harbengers might have more Khaenreans than Sneznians at this point

7:49 Deshret Mention...wait wrong channel

[supermonstars]

Why is NOBODY talking about Guthred? How did a Khaenri'an ghost appear in Natlan with the way Natlan's leylines are and the Night Kingdom being kinda...xenophobic? To me, it's extremely obvious that Capitano is chock full of ghosts of his fallen comrades. Both Mavuika and Ororon comment on the unusual presences within him, and when he says "you heard something from here, didn't you?" he looks to his wound. It seems like he's leaking souls and one of them slipped out to possess a body in order to serve him again. If your theory about him being a General is true, he could be carrying the entire Khaenri'an army within him. Definitely something that could come into play once he faces his "final foe", whoever they are, considering his diminished personal strength.

[Zeke]

Capitano IS Anfortas Albrecht. I’m 99% certain.

The leader of the swan knights. General of Khaenriah. So Capitano’s knights WERE the swan knights. Or at least they were the most elite force under his command. I say this because in Perinheri, a guy named Albrecht is noted as being the leader of half of Khaenriah’s knights, and one of Khaenriah’s strongest warriors. AKA he was a general. And the only Albrecht known to hold a high military position and be super important to Khaenriah is Anfortas. Bc Clothar (the only other Albrecht ever mentioned by name who lived during the cataclysm) was just a civillian at the time. A noble, but still not a member of the mimitary. Plus, Anfortas was the one who took over as Regent and evacuated Khaenriah after Irmin became “indisposed.”

Plus Capitano personally claims responsibility for failing to save Khaenriah. He specifically says “I failed to save Khaenriah.” Not “WE failed to save Khaenriah.” So he must feel some responsibity beyond just being one of the protectors of the nation. He wouldn’t do that if he was just some random no-name commander in the army. Clearly he was someone with great authority. And the only foreshadowed and named person in Khaenriah who he could be is Anfortas, as it makes sense that the guy who steps up to fill the role of regent would feel responsible for the fate of the nation.

And the fact that he was one of the strongest warriors in Khaenriah also explains why he is about as strong as Mavuika. (Even stronger in his prime). No regular commander would be that strong. We saw Halfan, who was an elite soldier under Dainsleif, and he wasn’t even close to Capitano or Mavuika’s level.

I do wonder why Dainsleif wasn’t included in Perinheri as one of the strongest fighters. But my guess is that the author didn’t have access to all the people in Khaenriah, only to the information that was available to the public. Because none of the sinners OR Dain are listed there. And I would expect Surtalogi for example to be one of the strongest people in all of genshin’s lore, not just in Khaenriah. So it’s most likely this person who wrote the book didn’t know what Dain and the sinners were capable of.

I've been entering youtube everyday just to see when you upload about Natlan's archon quest, finally😼

[Raininpain]

Fun thing about the localization the achievement for meeting Capitano is "The General in his Labyrinth". Also for some reason the Localization team wants to downplay Capitano's feats.

[hlonghi]

"Knowing Hoyoverse there are only 2 futures for Capitano: Either he will die or he will be Firefly. And I hate both of them" - Zy0x 🤣🤣🤣

[NatureWatcher]

When I read "Abyss Waifu" I knew EXACTLY what you were going to talk about...

[Keiki-kun]

If GGZ is coming up in the argument you know its going to be bs because of the characters that thing has 😂

One single random character there can 1 click every Herrscher or Aeon in the honkaiverse

[generaltoszur]

I wouldnt neceserally say that capitano being send on his long journey by ronova should mean that he was hired by her to do something, what if it just refers to curse of immortality and final foe capitano was talking about could possibly be shade of death and him wanting to fight her because of the curse she put on his people

[AlyAly-R]

If the construction of rubedo consumes souls then maybe that's what visions were originally meant for? Instead of feeding in a multitude of normal souls they're powering a philosophers stone with the souls of vision holders that have been artificially improved. Allogenes can ascend but they're not allowed to so that they get an almost godlike soul as fodder instead of a normal human soul.

[Travek]

Interesting ideas with Capitano and Ronova, but I took the "sent you on your long journey" to refer to the curse of immortality on the people of khaenri'ah.

[darkpaperiniks]

I have a theory, what if the Crimson Moon Is a finality, like kiana in honkai impact? What if in genshin there Is a finality who is embracing Humanity and keeping It obscure of the honkai out of the false sky? 🤔
