    Childe's relation to the Narwhale is that he encountered it during his time in the Abyss and Skirk never told him what it really was. It left a huge imprint on him and is the reason he has a vision as a copy of it manifests in his burst. He's been seeking that whale to kill it but he's just not strong enough (yet) This was the 'personal business' he was on in Fontaine.

Plus if they changed the rankings, it would just create another discourse and drama and we all know that the harbingers dont get along with one another. Heck, they havent even updated who will the new 6th and 8th harbinger since wanderer changed the original timeline and signora died.

    Surtalogi, Skirk and Childe might have connection with Alice and her magic cabal in some form or another, I'm not surprised if Klee and Kaeya will have interesting interactions with Skirk in the future regarding personal and worldbuilding lore that would bring great implications of Khaenri'ah as a whole, knowing how Surtalogi, Childe, Alice and Kaeya more than often have way more knowledge than they supposed to be If Genshin will do awakened characters' release akin to both Honkai Impact and Honkai Star Rail does, Kaeya would be very likely to be the first among 4* while Klee would be also logical to be the first among 5* to have their hypothetical awakened characters' releases during 7th region if not after 7 Nations being opened (as it would go beyond the 7 Nations of Teyvat into uncharted dreams which also something Khaenri'ah envisioned for the future of humanity in Teyvat), both of them are released as earliest characters afterall so there could be thematic to these, as Honkai Impact also have a lot of awakened characters from loli body to adult-sized body characters to show their growth in-game lore and character (well, most of the time at least, Crimson Vow is still quite childish compared to most other characters in Honkai Impact despite having powers rivalling among the strongest in Honkai Impact's power-scaled characters alone)

    Rheindottr refers to the daughters of the river rhein, basically water nymphs whose river possessed gold and great fortune. Alberich the king of the dwarves (and Khanreiah) steals the rhein daughters' gold to fashion a magic ring. Skirk may refer to Circe--pronounced 'surs'--a goddess of sorcery from Greek mythos. She is known for turning her enemies to animals, most notably Scylla, who in the Genshin world, is the dragon prince who fights Remus. Also, Skirk's master Surtalogi may refer both to Surtr, the King of the flame giants and Loki, the norse god of chaos and mischief. Either way he's definitely an antagonist, which in the world of Teyvat probably means he's one of the biggest heroes.

    I'm guessing The Abyss is going to turn out to be the typical "by all means possible" villain. Basically, good intentions, but going about it the wrong way. Bit of a prediction: After beating the Abyss we choose to carry on their mission and storm Celestia, where after a climactic battle we rip open the sky Shadowlands style and challenge The Heavenly Principles directly. Hard to say where Snezhnaya fits into all of this, if they are against The Abyss or The Heavenly Principles. Though maybe I'm forgetting some interaction between them and The Abyss at some point.

  • @infinitygamecosmic9171
    @infinitygamecosmic91717 ай бұрын

    Fun fact: Surtalogi Skirk's master, he is very similar to Dainsleif, they are both named after swords Surtalogi is the sword of the fire giant Surtr in Norse mythology . With this the fire giant set the world on fire at Ragnarök. Dainsleif belonged to king Högni who was a legendary king in Viking mythology. The Dainsleif sword was made by the dwarf Dain who was among the most famous and talented craftsmen in the cosmos. The word "Dainsleif" meant "Dain's legacy". (similar to how Childe transformation is called Foul legacy) Also according to both Furina and Focalor the prophecy/punishment was send by Celestia . So the rising primordial sea level wasn't the whale doing but Celestia, Surtalogi just send the whale there to eat primordial sea water (Skirk confirm this). He most likely did this to stall Celestia punishment on Fontaine . According to Skirk dialogue she let Childe petsitting the whale. So basically: -Childe escape prison -go into primordial sea -meet whale -swim up to the surface -meet Skirk -Skirk ask Childe to watch over the whale while she go do something -Skirk leave -Childe fight whale -whale swim up to opera house and start attacking peoples ... honestly sounds like something he would do Theory: 1 . Gold might be infertile (or can't get pregnant) you see it is a common myth or belief that witches cannot get pregnant, yes Alice is Klee's mom but what if the same cannot be said for everyone else like say Gold (where am I going with this? You'll see in a moment) . So with this in mind, Gold one of the royal of Khaenriah, with a desire for a child to called her own, use Khemia and started practicing her craft in creating life. This would explain why one of her first creation, the rift hound lack intelligence unlike her later creations like Durin,Elynas,etc... but until this point she have only created monsters and dragons. What she want is a human son so she created her first human Surtalogi, Surtalogi might have impurity, but with her emotional attachment to her first son, she didn't dispose of him ( unlike what she did with Albedo's half digested brother, favoritism). Much like Durin, Surtalogi also wanted to see the world outside of Khaenriah, Gold agree to let him leave the same way she did with Durin . While exploring Teyvat he might have caught the attention of the Archons or Celestia itself, they later found out what Surtalogi is and What Gold have done. So they carry out punishment on Khaenriah ( similar to Fontaine) . Debunking Why I called Gold a royal? -According to Dainsleif Albedo title back in Khaenriah was Kreideprinz translate to English means chalk prince and Gold is Albedo's mom so...yeah. Why did I say that Surtalogi have impurity? -Surtalogi title is The Foul. Dirty, filthy, foul, nasty, squalid mean conspicuously unclean or impure. Why did I say Gold have emotional attachment to Surtalogi? -because unlike Albedo's brother (susbedo) he is still walking around, either that or he just run away from Gold Why did I say he was a creation of Gold and is the cause of Khaenriah demise? - according to Dainsleif, Khaenriah was destroyed because of the use of Khemia/ alchemy/ the art of creating life. With the Fontaine Archon quests and Surtalogi name I think most people can put 2 and 2 together. Surtalogi was the sword and not the wielder or craftsman. He was the sword that started the flame, burning Khaenriah like what we saw in the we will be reunited trailer. Theory 2: Skirk might not be a decender (emphasis on might), Skirk said she no longer return to the surface/ Teyvat especially after finding out the truth about the gnosis. She also said that she have been training under Surtalogi ever since she was small (most likely sometime 500 years ago after Khaenriah got destroyed) so...yeah. Theory 3 Surtalogi might be in possession of a gnosis. Skirk said she have seen a gnosis before . Given that for the past 500 years we know where all the gnosis are Anemo in Venti body same for Zhongli Makoto die,Ei become the Archon and give the gnosis to Yae Miko sometime 500 years ago The one who shall not be named die, give birth to Nahida, also give Nahida the gnosis and Nahida was locked away for 500 years And the hydro Archon put the gnosis inside the Oratrice to stored power for the last 500 years All we know now is that the Pyro gnosis is still somewhere in Natlan that's why The Captain is there (still not much lore there) So by process of elimination the only possible way that Skirk could have seen a gnosis is with the Cryo gnosis ( Or maybe Surtalogi is in possession of an entirely different gnosis with new element who knows)

    Just a fun discussion, and if you don't have time, no worries! I'm still not convinced with your timeline of events. You mentioned that Childe met Skirk when he first arrived at the Primordial Sea, and then she left to do something. While it's a possible interpretation, she never explicitly said that, right? So, what quotes from her lead you to believe this is the case? She mentioned, 'It was just supposed to be a short private training session for me... I didn't think that my disciple and my master's pet would start brawling in the meantime.' Let's examine how her statement connects with what we know. From Skirk: 1.Her master raised the Narwhal in Teyvat's Primordial Sea. 2.It was supposed to be her short private training session. 3.She didn't know that Childe and the Narwhal were fighting each other in the meantime. From what we know: 1.The Narwhal already consumed all of Primordial Sea's water, so its next target is the people of Fontaine who have Primordial water within them. 2.Childe held back the Narwhal for a long time. The assumption that makes sense from their words is that Skirk's master raised the Narwhal in the Primordial Sea for her training. She intended to wait until it consumed all the primordial water before fighting it. Unfortunately, she noticed too late that the Narwhal had already consumed all of the Primordial Sea and was about to attack the Fontaine people. If it weren't for Childe stopping it for 40+ days. And this is why what you said hasn't convinced me. If she was there when the Narwhal had consumed all of the Primordial Sea's water, she would have fought the whale for her training right then and stopped the Narwhal before it went on to attack Fontaine. You could argue that when she was there with Childe, the whale had not finished consuming the whole sea yet. However, I doubt that's the case as well, because why would she not have noticed that the Narwhal was about to finish eating? So, my assumption is that she only arrives when we've already beaten the whale. That's why she said, "Thank you for helping with the 'cleanup.' It should've been my job, but... Oh well," when we first met her.

    @@bluesnow7004 ​​⁠ Ok here you go Skirk: "That kind of power is wasted on it. It's not cooperative, it's eat too much...even my disciple has more important things to do with his time than pet-sitting. The only thing that creature has going for it is its looks." ( Someone's jealous) " That the All-Devouring Narwhal used up all its strength fighting you." "Such roiling hydro energy will prove difficult for the planet's deep seas to digest" Roil: make a liquid turbid or muddy by disturbing the sediment "As such, the Fontaine back on the surface has most likely been thrown into chaos" As for the whale eating all of the primordial sea then moving to the surface to eat the people of Fontaine: When we enter the portal we are literally standing on mountains of that stuff so the space whale got no reason to eat the people of Fontaine, what's even more surprising is that during the second Archon quest there were too much Primordial sea water even with the whale eating it all for the last 400 / 500 or so years. (Info about how long the whale have been eating primordial sea water for I got from the Fontaine institute quest. It might even be longer than that who knows) Oh and this is just my personal thoughts but I think that the plan to fool Celestia was created by Focalor and Surtalogi to "stall" the punishment from Celestia. The reason why I said stall: Even after everything that happened, you could only fool them for so long, sooner or later they will realise what's going on. When that happens an even worse punishment than the primordial sea will come. Navia: " It feels like someone left these slates and these words here for a purpose. But does HE mean that Fontaine should be destroyed?" I think it is also worth pointing out that Focalor herself never said she created the Oratrice. Not once did I hear her say that she created the thing. Focalor: "MY work over these five hundred years...has been to constantly accumulate Indemnitium within the Oratrice."

    Considering Surtalogi's obsession with "power from beyond" he might be another extremely powerful Khaenri'ahn. Also taking into account that he taught Skirk the way of the sword we can deduce that he might have been part of one of the many Knights Order in Khaenri'ah like Schwanenritter which Marshall Anfortas was the leader of or the Black Serpant Knights which Dainsleif was the leader of. But he is also compared to Rhinedottir so he could very well be part of the Royal Mages of Khaenri'ah. Also if we really go into crack theory he can be the sinner as Surtr was destined to cause Ragnarok (Doomsday) but was defeated by Thor wielding the power of Odin and banished him to the Sea of Eternal Night. In Genshin's terms, Sutalogi might have been the one to start a war with the Heavenly Principles but the Sustainer wielding the powers of the Primordial One defeated him and banished him to the Abyss.

    While you are in the Express in Star Rail, if you hear the News, they talk about a newly found simulated universe that is inside a cave (I don't remember other details). Just a thought. Btw, Skirk is almost certainly from Teyvat. She said that has been in the Abyss for many years, and she has not "gone up to the surface". Her many years may be decades if not centuries with the way she talked. But she never mentioned visiting other worlds, at least I didn't notice anything like that. Also, the Heavenly Principles are focused too much as the bad guys right now, and it makes me feel there are more things behind this.

    Surtalogi is a play word on Surtr-Loki. A fusion of Surtr the firy giant demon that would end existence starting by the destruction of Asgard (Realm of the Gods), he is the ruler of the world of Fire (muspelheim) and Loki god of mieschief whom 3 children will anable the start of Ragnarok : Jormungandr the world water serpent that grew so much that he encircled the world and bite his own tail (like Ouroboros), Fenrir aka Fenrisurflr the giant wolf messenger of misfortune and Hel or Hella the goddess of Death who rules the underworld. So this is pretty big, kinda implies his overall importance. His title The Foul hint something about Skirk and Ajax. Basically using the Foul Legacy is like utilsing The will/power of Surtalogi. Verdrfolnir in north myth is NOT the eagle. Actually Verdrfolnir is an awk perched between the 2 eyes of the Giant bird living at the top of Yggdrasil the World tree, perched on the highest branch. There is many theory on what Verdrfolnir represent. The wisdom of the eagle ? (Like Odin/Irmin with his ravens), a messenger ? (Tho that is already Ratatoskr job) we dont know. In genshin they are named The Visionary so much like Barbeloth or Nicole they are a prophet/ess, capable of divination, astrology on a worldwide scale Anyway Surtalogi The Foul Verdrfolnir The Visionary Rhinedottir Gold Scandinavian names ? Seems like they are Khaenri'han to me but I could be wrong(tho the only scandinavian people in Genshin are all related to Khaenri'ha like Alberich Dainsleif Skirk or Kær Anyway I love your videos and this one is no exception 🎉🎉

If a tree usually has its roots on the ground, an upside down tree would have its roots... on the sky. So by connecting the dots, one could infer that the Abyss is, in fact, in the sky of Teyvat. And it would explain the "skies are fake", because it could be a barrier separating Teyvat from the Abyss. Also much of the Fontaine lore call abyssal beasts like Elynas as "Star Beasts", and the Narwhal is literally called "Visitor from the far side of the Sea of Stars". So yeah, the Abyss is the Cosmos beyond the sky. And people that come from other worlds in the cosmos could be considered "Abyss Dwellers", like Skirk, Surtalogi and Rhinnedotir.

    It's all linked to Norse Mythology because Khaenri'ah is heavily inspired by norse mythology; just as Mondstadt is to Germany, Liyue to China, Inazuma to Japan, etc... Khaenri'ah is most likely Nordic/Norse. The ruins, the names of the black serpent nights and everything else heavily implies Norse mythology.

    the one thing i’m rlly looking forward to in the end of the game is how the intermingling of all the factions ends up playing out. we’ve got the archons, fatui, dragons, celestia, hexenzirkle, abyss order, seelies and now surtalogi etc. it’s becoming harder and harder to understand who’s antagonistic and who’s not. the traveller’s choice will be gut wrenchingly hard. at first i thought celestia would be the big evil bosses but the invasion of this otherwordly narwhal, which itself is the plaything of this otherwordly faction of beings like skirk and surt, means there could deff be an argument to be made about celestia not being as bad as they’ve been presented - well on an intergalactic scale. imagine if celestia and the HP are really just trying to defend teyvat from the higher-order threats, no matter the method? perspective is key in this game and N opened up that door for us. not only did perspective allow fontaine to be saved by focalors looking beyond fate, but it looks like it will be a HUGE deal going forward. early in the game, our limited perspective made us think the tsaritsa was an antagonist and her plan was probably to fuck over the other gods for whatever reason. over time we’ce realised her plan likely has to do with overhtrowing celestia instead, and now here i am looming over the possibility that celestia has a plan to destroy something else too. truthfully, i didnt expect skirk to be revealed so soon - as she has been, i genuinely expect us to meet someone from celestia relatively soon - a representative of sorts. i hope at least, cause that would add another piece into this ever-growing puzzle of who the bag guys really are. or maybe there are no bad guys? or maybe the bad guys are fate itself? or maybe, like the progenitor of hoyo games, the legend of saha does, we can never save the day until teyvat itself is annihilated.

    Fun thing about Ragnarok is that it's not "the end", it is "a ending". The majority of gods, giants, humans etc die, but, afterwards the world and the survivors rise again, cleansed and renewed. One interesting note, Odin, while concealing his true powers, wandered all around in order to learn the secret truths of the world. In English, he is called "The Wanderer.".

    1) Surtalogi is referenced by name in Wagner's Nibelungenlied, and is specifically the flame used by Surtr to burn the world during Ragnarok. 2) Skirk's name is most likely an alternate romanization of Κίρκη, or Circe. Another possibility is that she's a reference to Skuld of Norse mythology, the goddess of the past (along with Verdandi and Urdr, the Norse version of the Greek Fates).

    Ine thing I realized watching this video is that Skirk is probably named after a Norse being as well. When I looked it up (and specified Norse Mythology), I got two results: Nixies, which are Germanic water spirits, and Skírnir, who's name means "Bright One" and who was a messenger of the god Freyr. The weirdest part is that both cases suggest that Skirk should be male.

    I have an outlandish theory. In the Caribart quest, the Primordial refers to himself as a sinner, and creating life without Celestia's permission is a sin in Teyvat. Perhaps he was referring to becoming a sinner after the second one who took the throne. The Hillichurls were praying to him, and they are people of Khaenri'ah. He also possesses an insane power that could restore Caribert's mind. He is linked to the Abyss, which suggests that he might be hiding there beyond Celestia's reach. His power is likely similar to what Skrik called "power from beyond this world," which may have given him enough strength to bring back Caribart's mind.

    Its even more interesting, since Hilichurism (and "The Curse of the Wilderness") by the records seems existed way before the Khaenri'ah incident, not to mention being native to Tayvat (with its most nations), and likely directly linked to the Tayvat Curses Systems of Celestia.

    The entity we met in the Caribert quest refers to themselves as a 'sinner, but why are you calling them Primordial and saying their sin was to create life? As I understand it, the Primordial One who created humanity doesn't need Celestia's permission to create life. The Primordial One is Celestia's ruler. The Sinner's 'sin' is more likely related to forbidden knowledge than the creation of life.

    Dain could be wrong. Don't forgot the curse of Erosion is erasing his memories. So it may be he started out agreeing with Khaenri'ah but centuries of memory loss plus the Nations demonizing Khaenri'ah as the ones who caused the Cataclysm, could have him internalizing the negativity Teyvat has about his homeland and thinking Khaenri'ah was doing something wrong. The curse of Erosion means Dain is incapable of being an reliable source. That said, even if Khaenri'ah as a whole is more or less innocent, I do think that Gold and any supporters she had were up to something shady. That there were at least someone who were up to no good, whether they were actively malicious or too obsessed with their research to think things through and wound up crossing the line.

    At this point IDK what to think, We know that Tayvat has a barrier around it somehow that seals it off. the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles defeated the Primordial One & the 4 Shades. Then used the 3rd descender to make the Ginoses and create the 7 Archons to rule the 7 nations. Then Khaenriah was experimenting with the Abyss creating monsters and through the Abyss both visitors and creatures from outside Tayvat was breaking through the Barrier and entering Tayvat, Then The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles destroys Khaenriah and now we have alot of outside attention being drawn to Tayvat. It seems like the Sustainer want to put a stop to People & Things Entering and leaving Tayvat. We know in HSR people are aloud to travel from World to World on the Star Rail Express. Expect for Tayvat. So ether because Genshin is a prequel to HSR where the Star Rail Express isn’t been created yet or because Tayvat is not technologically advanced enough to handle other worldly threats. Fontaine is most technologically advanced place in Tayvat, and that is still just “Steampunk Era”. Nothing like the technology we see in HSR.

I suspect we'll play as one of paimon's shades or angels. Either the God of life, death, time or space. And we'll fight the Elemental Dragons from the primordial age, and we'll witness paimon being dethroned by the unknown God. Genshin impact Phase #3 I suspect we'll understand more about were the decenders actually come from, and I suspect the witches know the answer cause they are astrologists, they deal with things in outer space. So I suspect our key powers there would be celestial Energy and abbysal energy. Which will link us to hokai impact.

    'A mysterious and gargantuan creature from another world. Poets often liken the starry sky to the ocean. They've seen or dreamt of countless bioluminescent plankton floating on a moonless sea, resembling a galaxy, or the moonlight ripped apart by waves on the sea's surface, like shimmering stars. In the most fantastical stories or outrageous lies, the stars found in the depths of the cosmos might be teeming with life, much like Teyvat, and the universe itself is akin to an ocean. Realistically speaking, however, if a profound universe full of life exists, why hasn't any of that life made contact with Teyvat? Maybe the universe has been constantly trying to infiltrate Teyvat, or maybe a higher power created borders to protect this world.' quoted from the discription of the all devouring narwhal. this makes me think that when dettore told nahida about the "skys are fake" and stuff the fatui might have the info on who actually is PROTECTING or ISOLATING teyvat from the "sae of stars".. just my little speculation lol

The Sustainer of Heavenly Principals is the 2nd Descender. 3. The Third descender is the exiled Dragon King who returned with powers from outside the world, and was chopped up into the Gnosis after he lost a second time.
