A Guide To The Celestia's Demon Gods Of Teyvat [Genshin Impact Lore and Theory]

Ойындар

#GenshinImpact #hoyocreators #gameplayadventure
You know how Genshin’s Archons have multiple names that we call them by? Well, If you’ve ever driven into Genshin Lore, you would be familiar with the words Ars Goetia, or maybe the Lemegeton. This is the book where the name of the Genshin’s Gods are derived from, like Barbatos, Marchosius, Morax, and the like, and today, I’m going to be showing you all the Demon Gods of Genshin Impact and their correlation with their mythological demonic counterparts.
Disclaimer, this compilation doesn’t include any leaked or datamined Gods; I’m just going to be talking about the ones that have been confirmed in the game’s canon. I also hopefully haven’t missed any Gods from 3.6 considering this patch is still very new, but if I did, feel free to put it down in the comments. I’m also going to be very transparent because this is just a motif analysis and not really anything deeper, I’ll only be using surface sources like Wikipedia or Britannica since I don’t think anyone here wants to see me start reading latin. But fun fact the whole PDF of a book of lucifer is apparently available and I have read it before trying to look for Paimon allegories.

    Hoyoverse did extra research on Beelzebul, which is different from Beelzebub. Beelzebub, Lord of Flies, is said to be a derogatory twist on Beelzebul which means Lord of High Place(Heaven). Hoyoverse specifically chose Beelzebul over the more infamous Beelzebub that's far more commonly referenced, showing that they did extensive research on the Ars Goetia.

    There is evidence that the old semitic religion that eventually became the basis for Judaism had a bit of a schism about Baal and Yahveh. Yahveh was also a god of storms that were kind of different than the one Baal presided over. The whole thing is fascinating. Like how they tried to syncretize El (another god) with Yahveh and this thing didn't work quite as well as they wanted, hence the schizophrenic nature of Yaveh in the early bible. (El was a benevolent god while Yaveh was a raider's god.)

    In CN/JP/KR, the word for Demon and Magic are the same, "魔", pronounced "Mo" in CN and "Ma" in JP/KR. This originates from the ancient times when demons are thought to able to perform magic so magic is called "魔法"/ Mofa/Maho/Mabob, which means Demonic power/ability/technique. Genshin double downed on this and made the elemental gods actual demon gods, who have the demonic ability to use elemental magic. All demon gods are translated as Archons in EN, but the "winners" of the Archon war are given the title of Seven Elemental Gods and they continuously pass down the title. What I want to know is when non elemental magic using gods will still be called demon gods in CN if they ever appear.

    Perhaps English translation gets to be the butt of the translation joke once again.. Although, I don't remember lesser demon gods like Marchosius, Havria, Guizhong/Haagentus, Andrius, Osial and Orobashi, ever been referred to as archon, in the English translation. They are only referred to as god's or spirit. The only one I can think of is Decarabian, who was recognised as the 1st "archon" the 1st throne of Celestia to fall, during the archon war. Cant remember any info for Naberius and Amun being recognised as archons.

    Not really, 魔法 is typically used for western magic and in Genshin setting they don't call the elemental power "magic". In CN it's pretty consistent that everyone was called demon gods before the archon war ended, when talking about Zhongli before he became archon he was called geo demon god in his story profile and Childe's conversation after you beat him. EN translation is a mess especially early in the game like the demon god of vortex is translated to overlord of vortex etc etc.

I took a little peek at the wiki and it seems like a reference to the demon Aamon, rather than the egyptian sun god Amun.

Ose fits Oz well since he gives true answers concerning divine and secret things (which I like to interpret, Fischl's chuunibyou lines) as well as being the thing that the conjurer desires. There's no way they would name a normal character the same name as the Demon names right? Fischl being in Unreconciled Stars has a significance? No way.. I need answers.... edit: nvm, Aster knew.

    I found this about morax Morax is a powerful fallen angel who stands between Heaven and Hell. Demon Morax is an incredibly powerful creature from folklore. He is a demon prince, believed to be the offspring of Asmodeus and can often be seen as a giant bull with a human face or head. Morax has been associated with several abilities or powers, but his most well-known one is being able to bestow fortune on those he favors. Morax may have had thousands of incarnations over history, but in modern times he remains a source of fascination among scholars, occultists and practitioners. He is typically regarded with fear by some and reverence by others who believe that his gifts can lead to immense luck and prosperity when invoked appropriately. Morax is known for possessing tremendous strength, capable of manipulating the elements for defensive reasons and easily shrugging off weapons meant to harm him; as such few try to fight him directly. He also wields formidable magical abilities which further amplify this advantage, allowing him to move freely through the planes of existence at will or employ powerful spells when necessary. Despite his intimidating appearance, Morax tends to follow an ethical code of sorts: while it's said that he can be capricious if provoked however in general he only aids those who show respect and adhere to honest bargains made with him. Because of this he's been credited as being responsible for several successful business deals or investments despite impossible odds. In modern times Morax still leads an active role in folklore although much less frequently than his peers. Regardless he remains a figure worthy of respect for many who understand the power held within his presence - both beneficial and detrimental - making it prudent to understand how one might go about invoking his favor should they require it. 1. Demon Morax is an ancient and powerful being who has long been thought to inhabit the darkest corners of the universe. He is an entity shrouded in mystery, rarely seen but often felt by those brave or foolish enough to traverse his domain. Little is known about this enigmatic entity, but what is certain is that he holds tremendous power and knowledge, far beyond mortal comprehension. He has the ability to shape reality as he wishes; able to bestow both rewards and punishments upon those unfortunate enough to cross his path. 2. According to legends passed down through generations, Demon Morax was once a godly figure said to have been cast from the stars thousands of years ago as punishment for some unknown failing. Although no one can be certain of why he was cursed, it's believed that in his time he was far more powerful than any other being in existence and was feared even among other gods. What remains are tales of a dark and foreboding titanic entity whose influence carries into modern day through cryptic references in occult texts and fearful whispers of his name uttered by scholars and adventurers alike. 3. Those fortunate enough to survive encountering Demon Morax describe him as a looming figure all dressed in black robes, usually with hoods pulled up over his face to hide any physical features or distinguishing markings if present. His size also varies between tales as some say he appears gargantuan while others detail him walking amongst mortals without anyone taking particular notice or showing any signs of fear towards him - which strongly suggests form-shifting abilities on top of whatever other abilities he may possess. 4. Almost universally accepted about Demon Morax is that his presence always heralds danger whether it comes directly from the entity himself or from forces associated with him such as servants, creatures, objects or places connected with him.. This makes it extremely difficult for anyone foolish enough to approach him willingly since there's no way for them to gauge what kind of menace awaits them upon doing so until it's too late... 5. It's likely this same fear-inducing aloofness which also discourages deeper research into understanding more about who exactly Demon Morax is since almost everything regarding him as either destroyed due potential adversaries having caught wind of such pursuits - or perhaps just because even knowing Would be dangerous on its own merits... 6. While opinions vary wildly on how best to handle coming across or even having dealings with Demon Morax - most will agree bravado will not be well received given how many tales concern curses levied at those seeking confrontation rather than cooperation when it comes making requests (or demands) intended solely to elicit personal gain... often afterwards leaving their target in much worse standing than before they made contact with him -: if they're lucky enough walk away at all!.. 7 It seems many believe that outsmarting this powerful entity might be possible - given its incredibly wide array of powers - yet few dare take up the challenge largely due catastrophic consequences potentially outweighing potential rewards gained should one succeed.... A constant reminder for all why tread carefully when dealing with Demon Morax! 8 Then again there are written accounts chronicling individuals who were successful at negotiating favorable outcomes despite facing considerable odds against doing so making it clear fearless asser. Morax is an evil demon from the 7th layer of hell that has mystical powers. He is known as the Prince of Dark Powers, and he rules over a legion of demons and monsters that serve him. Morax has been invoked by many cults to do their bidding throughout history, making him one of the most feared figures in occult literature. Because he is closely tied to the infernal underworld, Morax is often associated with Satan himself. As part of his evil power, Morax controls the actions of his minions and can cause them extreme pain or death when disobeyed or unwilling to do his bidding. He can also transform humans into demonic creatures at will and control weather phenomena like hurricanes and earthquakes with his dark powers. Due to his immense magical prowess, Morax is worshiped by many occultists who believe that summoning him can grant wishes or protection. Nevertheless, it is generally believed that invoking him comes with great risk as it often involves temptation by powerful demons, pacts with dark forces, and even physical possession by Morax himself. Morax is a powerful King of Hell who rules over the entire East and has authority over thirty legions of demons. He assists people in finding lost items, helps with astral projection, and provides wisdom in spiritual matters. He can also grant favor from other entities in the spiritual realm. However, he will only grant requests that are made willingly and not through force or deceit.

    If Paimon is the Primordial One, it will be the biggest betrayal in the game. So far, the Traveller is either deceived by some side characters, betrayed by a few friends, used as a tool, and kept in the dark by the Gods. I think it'll get darker when we reach the final chapter of the game.

    i don't think it would be much of a betrayal depending on how they go about that plot if she really is the primordial one. if it turns out the primordial one lost, then they can just say she lost her memories and had shrunk due to losing her powers, since we know that can happen to gods. however if she's been lying to the traveler the whole time then yeah that's different. but considering this is the profile text for the traveler: "The sustainer is passing away; the creator has not yet come. But the world shall burn no more, for you shall ascend to the seat of "the god."' it can be theorized that 'the creator has not yet come' refers to the primordial one who has likely disappeared, which could indeed be paimon after losing the battle to the second who came

    Descenders like the Primordial, Second One, and traveller are not bound by the laws of Teyvat therefore they are immune to Irminsul influence. Paimon forgot Rukkhadevata after Rukkha erased herself from the Irminsul records so the theory Paimon being the Primordial One is debunked. Paimon is probably from the extinct Seelie race because they are known to guide humans predating Cataclysm.

    This is kind of doing the same thing all of the "Paimon is the Unknown God" theories seem to do: disregarding how much Paimon loves the Traveler. I mean, just look at the separation anxiety she gets during several of the Sumeru quests. Not to mention voicelines, where she constantly protests against the idea of leaving the Traveler's side. Also, the demon Paimon is said to never lie, so even if she is a deity, she probably doesn't know or remember. She already shows many signs of amnesia, so I don't think it's out of the question that she is hiding things she doesn't even know about. I feel like it would be more fitting, thematically speaking, for Paimon to be a reincarnated Moon Sister. Some background information: The Moon Sisters, first mentioned in the Byakuyakoku collection from Enkanomiya and the book Moonlit Bamboo III, are ancient deities, older than even Morax. A great calamity befell them after they witnessed the marriage of a Seelie and a human, a union strictly forbidden in Teyvat. The calamity destroyed the Seelies and the newlyweds exactly 30 days after their marriage. During this disaster, the Lunar Palace, home to the three Moon Sisters, was struck. The sisters turned on each other and eventually died by each other's hands. The corpses of the sisters can be seen in the sky and in the Spiral Abyss. But where is the third body? Now the interesting thing is, the Moon Sisters were probably the rulers or even creators of the Seelies. And even more interesting is the tale the Aranara tell of the Seelies. They believe that at least one Seelie survived the calamity, who eventually came to dwell in the desert and befriended Greater Lord Rukkhadevata and King Deshret. The only person who matches this description is the Goddess of Flowers. I'm sure you've heard this theory before, though, so I won't bore you too much with the details. Another possible survivor is Istaroth, who is heavily implied to have some connections to the Goddess of Flowers and may even be the same person as her. Also, the Moon is often connected to time itself, so it would make some sense. Maybe. Anyways... Now what does all of this have to do with Paimon? Well... We all know the theory that Paimon is the God of Time, Istaroth. And I've already established the connection between her and the Goddess of Flowers, who is most likely the sole survivor of the Seelie race. Paimon is described by many characters as being like the Moon, silvery and specter-like, some even going as far as to say that she is like a fairy or a Seelie. And who do we know has connections to the Moon and the Seelies? That's right, the Sisters. So then, what exactly is Paimon? Probably a Seelie. There are many times in which she is compared to a Seelie, but she never seems to refute the possibility that she actually is one. And you know the Welkin Moon symbol, that white-haired woman? She looks oddly similar to Paimon, and her bowl even has the same "Omni" symbol that Paimon has on her outfit. "Omni" is a symbol of the elements, and we already know Seelies have the ability to shift forms and resonate with other elements. So maybe Paimon is a Seelie reincarnated?

    Since I know you haven't been doing the Sumeru world quests, I just wanted to inform you of a couple HUGE lore drops in the recent world quest. First off, we actually see the entrance to Khaenri'ah and Katherine says we will get to explore it later. We also learn that Khaenri'ah is apparently the homeland of ALL humans, like humans originated there which means that's where the Primordial One and his shade created them. During the world quest, we are handed this book titled "Rene's Investigation Notes" where it's apparently a team of people from Fontaine investigating a Khaenri'an workshop, highly indicated after the Cataclysm. In it, we get some big lore drops. Apparently, the thing that fuels Khaenri'an tech is Azosite, which is harvested somehow from Ley Lines(although they also mention somewhere, not in this book, that what fuels their technology is from beyond the heavens and is most likely forbidden knowledge for it let's them create machines that defy this world's rules, so I dont know if they're talking about Azosite or something else they add to it). Also, at the end of the journal, we can believe that the Fontaine team in there found something that could potentially be the power source that is powering Fontaine to this day, possibly Azosite. I say this because they discovered something that could greatly help Fontaine, and since they were mentioning the Azosite power source before, I have to think it's that. Also Fontaine might have had mechanical human beings at the time??? That's just speculation though but the way they portrayed 2 of the people on the team as "children", but one of the person's teeth came in fully so that they're considered an "adult". Like first off, why would children be on that exhibition and having your teeth fully come it making you an adult isn't really a human concept. I don't know, something about that seems fishy. We also learn of this race called the Pari that was created by the goddess of flowers, who is part of an ancient race(possibly seelie) that was wiped out and transformed but she escaped the transformation somehow. The Pari fight a giant Abyss portal that apparently popped up during the cataclysm and released all the monsters. They had the help of the order of Skeptics(apparently an old Darshan at the academia that was moved by the Schwaneritter(the guard of Khaenri'ah) of how they fought to the last man defending Khaenri'an citizens, so they admired their dying wish and helped the Pari get rid of the monsters. With them, there was also a golden haired, masked swordsman, who was half monster(confirmed to be DAINSLIEF WHAAAT), and a one-armed sage(maybe Pierro?). Together, they fought and sealed the monsters off and Dainslief left with the Abyss sibling, and the one armed sage went back down into Khaenri'ah. This raises many questions because we know that Dainslief wasn't of pure blood, and he was going to turn into a monster like everyone else who lived in Khaenri'ah but didn't have pure blood, but he still managed to transform back but we don't know HOW. And did he fix it before or after he left with Abyss sibling? Also, apparently how they sealed the Abyss portal during the Cataclysm was THE ORIGINAL GOD OF HYDRO sacrificed herself while doing battle there!!!! And the God of Dendro took her body and made a tree to seal the portal off!!! And apparently later the lochfolk came later to her remains, not liking the new hydro archon, and seeing how the old hydro archon wasn't the same THAT'S when they left. So the theory of the new hydro archon killing her is apparently incorrect. But this does give an interesting theme of cleansing with hydro. Perhaps the Azosite or whatever they discovered in that workshop to get the energy source is slowly polluting Fontaine and because it's Khaenri'an, they dont know how to make it work properly. Maybe the hydro archon is scared that its from Khaenriah and thats why she is obsessed with justice, to try and act to celestia that she isnt doing anything they dont like(aka using a Khaenrian and possibly illegal power source according to celestia). Okay, those were the main huge lore drops of this quest, but there are still a bunch of interesting smaller ones too. I can't believe they revealed this much in the world quest, it makes me so excited for Fontaine! If you want to know more, you can look at all the info that released on the wiki, you can also look at playthroughs of this quest on KZread, or you could play it yourself if you want but you said you won't do that for a while so idk. As far as I know, you don't need to do the previous world quests to do this one, because it isn't related to the previous quests and I just had to talk to Katheryne to do it. But yeah I just wanted to inform you of those super juicy lore bits!

    Apep is also another name for Apophis, who was an Egyptian god of chaos who appears as a giant serpent. Apophis/Apep opposes Ma'at, which stands for order and truth. I thought this was an interesting correlation because in Nahida's story quest we're essentially purging Apep of the destructive chaotic energy, and trying to make Apep come to terms with the truth that she should let go of the past. So perhaps in addition to taking inspiration for Apep from the Ars Goetia, maybe Hoyoverse also tried to tie it in to Egyptian mythology (which also ties in with the Sumeru region)

After all Ose description matches Oz and it is said that Fischl "summoned him", like he literally appeared at her window with a vision like if he just awaken from long slumber, the same way Venti did before for example.

    9:34 Citing from the Genshin Fandom Wiki: Following the theme of gods in Genshin Impact being named after demons in the Ars Goetia, 安德留斯 _Āndéliúsī_ , "Andrius" is likely derived from 安德雷斐斯 _Āndéléifěisī_ , "Andrealphus," the 65th demon. In Johann Weyers' Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, Andrealphus is instead the 54th demon. It has also been theorized that Andrius is based on Andras, the 63rd demon who is said to be highly dangerous and rode on a black wolf. However, Andras' Chinese name, 安托士 _Āntuōshì_ , has much less in common with Andrius' Chinese name than Andrealphus' does. For this same reason, 安杜馬利烏士 _Āndùmǎlìwūshì_ , "Andromalius" is also a less likely name basis. 15:00 Very glad you included Aamon! Even if it's officially Amun (from Apep), Aamon was what I theorized the name to be based on the desert script on King Deshret's sarcophagus. 16:47 If Nabu Malikata had a demon name, Apep likely would've mentioned it as she did with King Deshret as Amun. But no, her only mention of the Goddess of Flowers was as Nabu Malikata, which is as close as we have to a "true name". 17:54 This may sound odd, but there is support to the theory that "Barnabas" is the Tsaritsa's demon name. Yes, the one from the manga. Yes, Barnabas is actually _not_ the Seer's name but something everyone assumed because of the god juice snake's lines. From analysis of the lines, the "sickening power" the snake is talking about is not itself in the third person but Kaeya's Cryo Vision, which is usually seen as a gift from the gods.

    I believe Andrius is Andras. The Genshin wiki disagrees with that because the different transliterations. People need to keep in mind that Chinese transliteration of foreign languages isn’t rigid and you technically can transliterate them into any characters with a similar sound in any dialects you want. If a character Shani Andras from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED is called 夏尼·安德拉斯, Andrius安德留斯, with only one character difference, can definitely be from Andras. And considering the wolf associated with Andras. Andrius is Andras for me.

    Currently I’m writing a Fan Story based in the world of Genshin, the twist being that the traveler woke up on the beach far later than in the game, and the the world without their presence led to many disasters and a very different world from what we would know it as. The demon names of Andromalius and Andras are used by two characters of mine (I’m excited to see if these names do indeed appear in the game one day) these two names go to two archons that are born during our absence, and Andromalius is the name of the new Electro archon, he’s the current Emperor of Inazuma and his goal is indeed punishing thieves and discovering truths alongside the travelers help. The story deeply explains what happened while we slept, and the story of Inazuma takes center stage, along with the idea of new archons and the alterations of fate, I do love watching your content to get a better understanding of this story I love, both the one I watch unfold through Genshin, and the one I’m currently writing out of the love I have for the games story.

    Here are some theories I have about everyone: Baal (Makoto) is at the top as the 1st King of Hell, which leads me to think she was the oldest and most powerful of the Seven. The Tsaritsa may have had the strongest connection to her as they both seem(ed) to care more about their land and people. Her loss may have been what triggered her vow of vengeance against Celestia. Next is Paimon as the 2nd King of hell, so there’s definitely more to our silver floaty friend than meets the eye. Barbatos (Venti) is the third on the list as the 4th Earl/Duke of Hell, which makes sense because there have been several accounts of him being extremely powerful and reshaping the land around Mondstadt. Then comes Astaroth (Istaroth - one of the shades of Phanes the Primordial One) as the 14th Duke of Hell and Focalor (Hydro Archon) as the 15th Duke of Hell. Naberius, which is mentioned as having a connection to Rhinedottir (Gold and “R” of the Hexenzirkel), is the 4th Marquis of Hell. Marchosias (Guoba) is the 7th Marquis of Hell. Decarabia (Decarabian), the 15th Marquis of Hell, was the one who founded the region of Mondstadt 2600 years ago but trapped his people behind a barrier of wind (Stormterror’s Lair area). They rebelled against him and that was when Venti (Barbatos) rose to archonhood. Next is Buer (Nahida), the 2nd President of Hell. Morax is the 4th President/Count of Hell. I think Murata might be based on Malphas, the 7th President of Hell. Interestingly, Amy is listed as the 11th President of Hell. That’s Fischl’s true name. Just above her on the list is Ose (Oz?), the 10th President of Hell. I think that the Tsaritsa is Beleth, the 3rd King of Hell, and that she’ll be a catalyst user as it’s mentioned that he uses a hazel wand.

    i dont know if you’ve made a video about yae miko yet but i’d absulutely like to see what other people think about her true power and if we can actually trust her. there are so many details which makes me think if yae could end up being a villain. for example- why did she practiced raidens attacks and combat style and how is she even able to know? is it cause she’s “always watching?”in the archon quest she literally taught raiden how to place her consciousness into objects. raiden also cannot predict yaes strategy since she doesn’t reveal anything about herself at all (proof in raidens voice like about yae miko)in yoimiyas voiceline about yae it revealed that she can make illusions or make clones of herself and in her burst voiceline she also says “i’m always watching” which proves that( also, why did genshin added the line about yae ? they wanted us to question her abilities) and in the archon quest i believe, there was a part where kojou sara asked yae and the traveler to give them 3 days to return a letter (or something) and yae seemed completely calm even at the last day as if she knows how the day will end. when she saved us from scaramouche, why did she gave the gnosis away if she could’ve easily make an illusion or fight him instead or make a portal to escape without giving away the gnosis yet she still chose to gave it away. she can practice the enemy and their attacks and she was probably also there when raiden created scaramouche and she also knows raidens combat attacks and raiden is more skilled then scaramouche so so theres no way she would’ve been too weak for him. and genshin also posted on facebook a post about yae were she predicted the entire plot about sumeru and the time loop and stuff. she said it in the same way how she told us how she “defeated scaramouche and made him beg on his knees”. she also published illegal books to yae publishing house which contained secret information what just got told in a “novel” way. pls make a video about her it would be really interesting about how much power she actually has

    I haven’t seen anyone mention this, but as someone who loves esoteric religions, and has learned a lot about genshin lore without playing it, but it really seems to draw on two concepts, demonology and gnosticism. Demonology is obvious through this video and comment section, but in this “TED talk”, I’m going to go into the gnosticism part. Gnosticism is a heretical sect of christian theology that believes in two gods, Christ, and the god of the Old Testament. The god of the Old Testament is seen as evil, for creating a world that tortures humanity. He is served by seven lesser deities, who rule over elements and are associated with seven planets. These lesser deities are also seen as the highest demons, evil spirits who serve the evil god. These lesser deities, the head of the demons, are called archons. Hence, why it can be seen as to why the seven archons in genshin are named after demons. This gives an alternative to the hell theory, but instead implies evidence of celestial being based on El, the evil deity of gnosticism. I think the genshin team did extraordinary research if this turns out to be the basis of the game and the names. It could also point to the traveler being the gnostic notion of Jesus in Teyvat, one who helps leads his followers out of the evil world into “heaven” or the good world, one of bliss. Kinda crazy. I simplified this a bit, but I it is part of it. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

    This would also explain why the roots to celestia are called a gnosis, because in Gnosticism, one learns of the truth about the world through gnosis, or knowledge, so said knowledge could be a connection to celestia. Hence, why the archons have their gnosis, and why the fatui are hunting down all gnosis.

    17:35 when they gave us the chance to change the wanderer’s name i've thought a lot about it because i wanted it to fit perfectly his character so i named him “Phenex”. think about it, the akademiya wanted to turn him into an artificial archon so i thought it would be perfect if i named him after an ars goetia demon just like any other archon of the game. just like a phoenix he “died” once because he couldn’t bear the weight of his sins but after the 3.3 archon quest, he “revives”, joins the traveler and gives him the honor to give him a new name. it would be quite disappointing if muratas name turns out to be phenex but good thing they gave us a second chance to change the wanderer’s name. i also find it fascinating how hoyoverse did something like this to the fatui. “fatui” derives from the latin and means “foolish, dumb” and each member has a name that comes from “la commedia dell’arte”, an italian theatrical form characterized by masked figures such as “pulcinella, pantalone, arlecchino, il dottore… they are iconic carnival masks known for their funny personalities. so basically they took inspiration from the ars goetia for the archon’s names and from the carnival masks for the harbingers. hoyoverse really did an amazing job adding culture, metaphors and fun facts to the plot.

    I mean I'm making an oc that's supposed to be the Pyro archon (which from a very brief research, I think she fits Amon better, exceptfor his relation with the god of time), but taking note on genshin's team decision of mixing different inspirations in one, she'll have another name based on it's cultural inspiration, be it Huitzilopochtli (God of war) or in my not so obvious case, Itzpapalotl. Both of those names could do since Amon is associated with wrath in some sence... *Edit* After some consideration, me and a friend decided for the name Alocer/Alocas. Thinking back on a possible Itzpapalotl inspiration, Alocer, who is depicted as having the ability to spit fire, ironically fits a goddess who became adored after being burned alive.

    Most are not familiar with Gnosticism so it’s unsurprising people missed that. Demiurge is the one that created the Archons and grants world-governing powers. Literal translation for Archon quest in CN is Demon God quests. Zhongli is also called Demon God of Geo in CN. Hence why he has a demon name, Morax.

    7:02 Yeah it always irks me when i hear this. Focalor would still be pronounced with a /k/ in french, because it's a hard c. I don't where mihoyo went to think that was the french pronunciation. At first i thought it was a word play with "Fausse" which mean Fake and would be in tune with what seems to be her character and Fontaine. To anyone wondering, "c" will always be a hard c in front of ⟨a⟩, ⟨o⟩ and ⟨u⟩ and pronounced /k/. Unless it looks like this "ç" (called "c cédille"), in which case it will turn into a soft c and be pronounced /s/. Additionally "c" is always a soft c in front of ⟨e⟩, ⟨i⟩ and ⟨y⟩.
