Something I feel a lot of people miss is the fact that with this quest, mihoyo finally managed to turn another main character into an unreliable narrator, as is their trademark writing style. The Traveller, up until now, has always been an infallible witness, capable of remembering _everything_ , no matter the circumstance. You can think of it like Teyvat being a computer and the Traveller is the user: even if the computer’s AI (Nahida as the Avatar of Irminsul) deletes and overwrites a file (like when the memory of Rukkhadevata was deleted and overwritten with a new history), the user is outside of the computer, watching, and will remember the deleted files regardless of the efforts of the AI. Now, with this quest, we had a chance to see the Traveller _forget_ due to memory manipulation. The collapsing of a Realm of Consciousness should NOT have tampered with their memory, since with the deletion of Rukkhadevata, so did _her_ RoC disappear, and yet the Traveller still remembers all that happened. This shows that the Loom of Fate exists and manipulates at a dimension higher than not only Irminsul but also the Descenders. If the computer exists at, say, 3 dimensions (2 spatial + time), and the user at 4D (3 spatial + time), then the Loom of Fate must operate at _least_ at 5D, if not higher. The Abyss Order knows this but the Traveller… has forgotten, so they don’t know this. Thus, anything that happens from here on out has the shadow of doubt cast on whether it _actually_ happened as shown or has been tampered with by the Loom. Personally, I doubt they’ll abuse this fact but will instead wait to lull the players into a false sense of security so that everyone forgets this terrifying fact until it becomes most important and we might even just be a little too late. Or not, maybe it’s a red herring and the Traveller will be just fine :) mihoyo is a company of wholesome, heart-warming stories, after all :)

You make a good point but I disagree to some degree. The realms of consciousness always ejected their guests once the space starts to break down so their was never an opportunity to see what would happen if you are hanging out in a space without its owner, second none of those owners where actually deleted just hidden from normal Irminsul users, like hidden files in Windows. They are still their technical just normal users can see. Since Caribert realm of consciousness was unstable to begin with because it shouldn't have existed and he was an actual component of the loom, once they finished activating it, that space literally went poof. So it's not so much that the travelers memory was altered as that he was writing memories to the game after it already closed. So everything after the last save just didn't take. So although this does introduce the potential for manipulation of the traveler too to a degree I think it really is specific to the situation.

The Traveler has always been an unreliable narrator, made clear in the first Dain quest when they suddenly pop up with talking about how they remembered Khaenri'ah when the idea that they had any memory of it had been entirely unmentioned up until that point. Even Paimon was surprised so the Traveler hadn't talked about it with her either. It's good to remember that the Traveler in the context of the game has their own mind and goals and those may not always be things the player knows because the Traveler isn't actually a self-insert (shown in the cutscene with the Abyss sibling by pointing out that Abyss sibling is the only one to call them by their real name because the name we give them is _not_ their true name).

I just remembered nahida told us that someone super powerful might have messed with the abyss sibling's constellation. With the 5 sinners name dropped in this quest I feel like it might be one of them who did it. I also have a long suspicion that teyvat is actually their homeland, rebuilded. The twins existed from the time far before even the sovereign dragons. But this is just my baseless theory haha.

Since the travelers were in the celestia in the beginning of the story, from where they're trapped by the heavenly principles there's something it points to. Either, celestia is the entrance to Teyvat or they're already in the celestia to fight? Probably the twin knows that they're no match for celestia and needs reinforcements. That's why he needs the power from the abyss. The Fatui is on another mission. Their goal may be is to ressurect the 3rd descender from whose remains gnoses are made. I also suspect paimon being the 3rd descender because she's the one who leads us. She's the one who knows the way. No local is able to lead us like her. She knows the way to all the regions. Doesn't it mean she's already been through Teyvat? Just like the twin? And happened to get into a child's form when her powers were seized to create the gnoses. A similar thing that happened to Rukkhadevata.

Here’s a general lore theory of something that might be common knowledge, but I’ve never heard mentioned. I think the two things you need to control the fate of Teyvat are a God and a Sword of Reason (usually a descender). Since the beginning of the game, the Fatui and the Abyss have both been working on God creation in the background. Hell, it’s the entire reason cited in the pale flame set for Dottore being recruited to the Fatui. Contrast the attempt to corrupt and control Osial with Balladeer as the God of Wisdom. Both of these were just prototypes, though. Meanwhile, both sides are also working on constructing their own “Sword of Reason”. The Abyss needs forged one by making the loom of fate, meanwhile the Fatui are gathering the pieces of a descender - probably for the purpose of forging their own. Narzissenkreuz attempted the same thing. Gods collect the will/worship of their people, and he was attempting to entirely subsume the people of Fontaine. Once that was completed, he would have been a God (in the process of forging his own Sword of Reason.) This was the only way he saw to escape fate - being able to rewrite it. Lends some credence to all the theories suggesting Paimon is a god (who knows which one though, lol). Because that would give us both a descender and a God in our faction as well.

@daridon2483

Paimon is 100% a god, there are a bunch of hints in game that she has ties to celestia, down to her very design. Hell, she even jokes in the traveler's voicelines about being the god of protection, and that might actually not be too far-fetched from what she actually is So if your theory is correct, then we already have all elements to control fate in our hands, to "reweave fate" as dainsleif said in travail. Maybe the Loom of Fate plays a big factor in this aswell

I think the Loom was always supposed to be completed, because it will be required later on when a certain doctor will do something evil and bring disaster. Also, remember that only a descender can fully utilize the Loom of Fate, and I don't think Khaenri'ah's plan to revive the 3rd will work(if that even is their plan), leaving Aether the only one capable of saving Teyvat.

I was rewatching the winter nights lazzo as I was editing this and I realized that when Pierro said "the sages think themselves all knowing but we alone are wise to those acts of folly" he was absolutely talking about the sinners and their plan isn't exactly his plan. I don't think they want to resurrect the third descender I think they need all the gnosis to construct something powerful enough to burn the entirety of the roots of Teyvat. Effectively destroying the whole world which would seem to be a foolish thing to do. And they keep talking about the old world and the new world. I don't think the Fatui want a leyline system at all, because that's were the preordained lives that everyone is running from starts. They probably want to go back to the dragon world system which is from the light realm rather than the leyline realm. And they are aware that the Abyss has no favorites and will devouring everyone and everything equally. It like the Finality all it wants is to push everyone towards the realization and acceptance of Death. Lumine is truly messing with something she doesn't understand. Also it's interesting that the title for this update and quest pertains to dreams and stories but in the picture only Lumine is asleep. Aether and Dain are awake and know what's really going on.

given what dain says "you must defeat me to save her and rewrite fate yourself". This could mean that all these factions want to rewrite fate for their own reasons. So the traveller will likely have to remove all these factions 1 sinner at a time to get to the point where dain says these words. The big factions we know of are The hexenzirkel(gold), the abyss order(verdofnir), The fatui (?), The archons(?). With a possibility some of the big 5 are working together or may have even perished.

It's abundantly clear that the MC is almost moved to tears whenever they see each other, but the abyss sibling just acts like they could care less about them (with maybe the exception in this quest?).

The animated short that got released recently at least does show the Abyss sibling cares just as deeply. It would seem that in the game they feel they can't let that show.

As much as I have issues with the way the story was told in this interlude, I do think the information about the Sinners is going to be extremely important going forward. With each passing nation I see more and more people flock to "the Heavenly Principles are the real enemy, not the Fatui or Abyss Order"... and I really, really can't agree - if anything, I think that would be the more predictable answer, given Celestia is the only major player we've never interacted with directly aside from the intro scene. With the information we have up until now, it seems that unless Forbidden Knowledge is involved, the HP seem pretty okay with most "rebellions" against it (such as allowing King Deshret's nation to exist despite him refusing a Gnosis outright, or being fine with Orobashi basically leading his own nation until he found the forbidden book, plus Khaenri'ah itself, which was a godless nation to begin with). So while the factions seeking to dethrone might have good intentions (keyword might), I'm pretty sure it's gonna end up doing more harm than good. So where do the Sinners come into play? Well, we do have that teaser of the seven nation that ends with Dain implying we'll need to fight him at some point. I think the last few arcs are going to pit us against the Sinners one by one, ending with the Twilight Sword himself. They will be the final enemies of the game, not the HP. As a last sidenote, didn't people datamine 5 unused elements with placeholder data in the game during Fontaine? Maybe the Khaenri'ah arc could last longer than we originally thought.

i left this comment on a few videos after the bedtime story quest came out cause i wanna see what others think.... I wonder if…… aether and lumine’s original home world…… is teyvat? but they just don’t recognize it? their home world was destroyed, but lumine “belongs to THIS world”, and we know the primordial one came and basically destroyed the original teyvat and rewrote it… the twins also wanted to find a place where the flower from their now-destroyed home world grows, and at the end of lumine’s journey through the rewritten teyvat, she found the place, on this “new” world. there are the theories that the new teyvat is a dream, and the “forbidden knowledge” that its denizens cannot understand is that the real teyvat is actually destroyed and they’re now living in a fake dream world. when apep ate deshret and absorbed his knowledge, all she could see was death and destruction and wasteland, as if she was peering outside of the dream and seeing the “truth of the world”, but it was so jarring that she cannot understand and it just causes her pain. the truth breaks down the dream, which causes all the adverse effects we’ve seen in game (withering, eleazar, etc). if i remember correctly, lumine also refused to link up with aether because he has not yet reached the end of his journey and learned the truth that she learned at the end of hers. maybe she hates the heavenly principles and she is determined to fight this war by any means necessary, because at the end of her journey when she found the sea of inteyvats, she realized that this is actually her original home world, but the heavenly principles destroyed it and trapped everyone in a dream/samsara to cover up the truth, and to have control over everyone. so now lumine is determined to fight for her homeland, and is waiting for aether to finish his journey, learn the truth, and understand why she has “taken it this far”, in the hopes that he will see where she’s coming from and join her.

Hear me out why: The idea of two World anchored together is nothing new & hinted from Honkai 3rd Bubble Worlds anchored together, to HSR Izumo & Tataragami literally mesh with one another. The Idea why I thought Lumine's, Aether's and probably the PO Old World too is the Abyss: Inteyvat only withers on their Homeland / Homeworld, Aether's & Lumine's World have such flowers. Aether & Lumine were associated with the Abyss, calling them prince / princess by the Khanreans, knowing that they are royalties of this Old World / The Abyss. I speculated that the PO used the power of the Abyss / Quanta from his Home World too, to wage war against Old Teyvat. The same power that Nibulung, King Irmin, and the Sinners acquired against the Heavenly Principles. And anchored them together to have both the power of destruction / Quanta & creation / Imaginary, also new stable world. To surpress both world, the praise Teyvat corrupts the Abyss & vice versa were true, the light realm power of Dragons & Abyss destructive power.

i’m still stuck on the shriveled seed we find in the chasm as pimon tells us she has a story about it but never brought it up since

Ok I have to point this out. The Heavenly Principles and The Sustainer Of Heavenly Principles are two different entities. I think it’s important to point out that when Lumine asks the god who she is, the god says SUSTAINER of heavenly principles, she doesn’t say she is the heavenly principles herself. The meaning of sustainer means someone who upholds or supports something. So by name, The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles supports the actual HP but isn’t the actual HP herself. Also. Lumine says the HP has been(I think she said sleep or something since the cataclysm) but if that’s case how did she attack the twins? The Sustainer and The HP are different gods altogether. Nahida mentioned when The Heavenly Principles changed the fate of the twins. I think the Heavenly Principles ordered the Sustainer to go after the twins. I also think that the actual Heavenly Principles ordered the Sustainer to destroy Khaenri’ah instead of doing it himself/herself. The Heavenly Principles also waged war against the Seven Sovereigns and stole elemental authority to give to the Archons and that probably took away an indescribable amount of power for The Heavenly Principles to do something on that scale and then regarding the Archon War and the Cataclysm in Khaenri’ah, The HP probably still didn’t have the power to directly intervene which would also tie into why he/she sent the sustainer to Khaenri’ah in the first place. We barely scratched the surface on who The Heavenly Principles are let alone their powers but we have a small grasp of what The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles are capable of because those dark swarms of red cubes that she used against the twins were the same ones that were seen when Khaenri’ah met its unfortunate end which leads me to believe that it was in fact The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles who attacked Khaenri’ah because in the time between its destruction and the twins getting attacked by her, The Heavenly Principles would’ve still been sleep and at this point The Heavenly Principles has been asleep for way longer than 500 years because we don’t know how much time has passed since the destruction of Khaenri’ah

True, but the sustained could be part of the heavenly principles. What do mean by that? Well, I you remember the opening cutscene, the first time we meet the sustainer, she appears through a portal, but it isn't a single portal, it's a 3 door portal (does that make sense?) , implying that whenever that portal appears, it's meant for 3 heavenly beings to appear, however, that is not the case, only the sustainer walks out of it. What could this mean? Tbh I'm not really sure, but this could be implying that the heavenly principles consisted of 3 entities ( or moon sisters, who knows :) ?), and that the sustainer was supposed to rule or keep in check the other 2 entities. Clearly something happened and they are not united anymore leaving only the sustainer to rule the heavenly principles. That's why I feel like people keep interchanging the "sustainer" and "the heavenly principles"... That or paimon is just the heavenly principles but shrinked.

Except the 5 sinners name and the power of loom of fate there is nothing much about lore or any questions left like other Dainsleif quest do. Honestly in my opinion this archon quest is pretty much simple just like a bedtime story.

What is the difference between greater lord and caribert in terms of our memories?

@@lyn6852 Dendro Archons can affect memories through the Irminsul (big pink tree from Sumeru storyline). Caribert affected memories using the power of Abyss, which was an unfinished "Loom of Fate". Now that it was completed, you can think of it as of the Abyss Order's ability to hack reality, fate and people normally "generated" by Irminsul. While they can't directly change the reality, they can create it, and through it affect future outcomes.

In terms of their both being gone. Rukkadevata was literally hidden from everyone who derives their memories from the leylines. So tampering with the leylines could wipe her out of the records. Caribert only existed for a short while in the leylines natural, then he just occupied a space in it where he could mess around with the rest of it. Of course he couldnt give the traveler false memories because he isn't beholden to the leylines. He was just visiting his mental space. When that mental space got deleted, no more memories could have been saved in it but the traveler was still present. Think of when you maybe save and then exit a gamd but the computer kind of lags so you can run around for a few more seconds before really closes and none of that was saved. Caribert though wasn't wiped, he just died in the leylines too now, Greater Lord Rukkadevata was wiped. Hope that answered you question but if not feel free to ask, I like explaining 😁

Thanks for the explanations~ So this really means that the abyss is the reason why our siblings irminsul record was cut off? Becoz this previous leylines memories in dains quest are before our sibling join the abyss...?

Also just remember this.. whats with the afternoon time? Like that 3PM? Seems like the events always happen during that time?

I'm curious how powerful this loom of fate ? Why traveler affected by memory erasure, we know traveler is a Descender.

The Traveler is unaffected by Irminsul because their status as a Descender places them outside of the things that Irminsul has control over. The Loom of Fate is also outside of Irminsul's control since it can make its own Ley Lines unaffiliated with those created by Irminsul. I would imagine if the Loom of Fate became a new world tree to replace Irminsul, the Traveler would no longer have Descender status because they would be a part of the world woven by the Loom of Fate. Which...may be what happened to the sibling if this is some sort of ongoing cycle.

Paimon has to be Celestia man...

No Paimon must not be Celestia, she must be FROM CELESTIA.

I have to agree with you even though the popular opinion is to hate them. I actually wonder who is it that Genshin wants to portray as the villain or if they are purposely leaving it very vague which side you should choose. The only real enemy I think is the Abyss or true Death.

I don't get why there are only five sinners. Hoyo has by now established that the natural selection of the Imaginary tree, whichever form it takes, manifests in twelve instances. Whether it's the Herrschers, both in GGZ and HI3, or Sentinels from Acheron's world. No matter how you look at it, the sinners, who have taken the power of the Abyss, are the "manifestation" of that selective force, an analog of Herrschers. So, why aren't there seven more?

I was thinking this too. I didn't know this lore about the imaginary tree but maybe there are entities we haven't met yet who will add to these that we have met

i cared about 4.7 and then i stopped caring about the rest of it forever i am now free, fuck your "and it was all a dream that u forgot" bullshit

The whole quest wasn't a dream though. Only that last little bit of conversation with Lumine after Caribert dissipated. Everything else was recorded and Aether know that they lost the battle to stop the loom of fate from being complete. He just isn't going to remember getting to talk to her.

I kinda hate that this quest is super short and mostly uneventful. I miss the first Dain quest we had where we had to fight for our life trying to escape and enter that domain and fight our first Abyss Lector.
