    Love this. Makes me wanna read all the books myself, honestly. This game is such a goldmine if you look even just the tiniest bit deeper than the main story and banners. The Hilichurl books are great and I frequently reference them and their wiki pages to decode hilichurlian-- every Hilichurl noise in the game is actually translatable communication. The reason they all yell "YA!" when they see you and start attacking is that "Ya" translates to "human!" It's interesting trying to decipher what they're saying as they attack you. Some of it's pretty interesting as they're sometimes actively insulting you/telling you to stand still/congratulating you on being a worthy opponent.

    20:48 maybe someone already mentioned it, yes, the seven sovereigns were the seven sovereign dragons(of which Neuvillette is a reincarnation of one) who's powers were stolen for the gnosis' that give power to the archons. 7 sovereigns = the power of the seven archons

    oh I didn't even know leanard had a book, he had a event for himself back in 1.1 called unreconciled stars spoilers and his will was so strong his constellation fell from the sky. And the mountain he wanted to climb was the spiral abyss island before it sunk and oh, I'm guessing you haven't made it to the fountaine arc nor nahida part 2. Won't say what it entails. Edit nevermind someone already said it, yeah the 7 sovereigns are the dragons. It's really cool that old finch and callirhoe got 2 events that told their story and gave it a conclusion. Also apparently callirhoe can grant wishes because diona got her wine powers from callirhoe was it ever accepted arlechinno is angelica.....angelica is from liyue while arlechinno is a crimson moon dynasty descendant. I feel the most popular theory I'm caught up with is angelica is istaroth the god of time because of the line "I am freedom" which links to venti being god of wind, and istaroth other title is 1000 winds of time and was worshipped in mondstat on the mysterious island ah the 2 musketeers, another book that made it to the limited events. Though idk if it was made with the event or before that is some painful ruin snake gameplay...

    The little witch and the undying fire gets better by knowing that each chapter is written by a different member of the hexenzirkel and that it's essentatially a goodbye to Andersdotter, a deceased member who wrote a lot of the fairytales in teyvat. And since fairytales serve as a way to preserve memories altered by irminsul, the book mentioning that the universe is dying is ominous to say the least.

    Quite a lot of the stories in the game are actually just record-keeping tools that can circumvent Irminsul tampering. Basically, the knowledge that “some stories are historical allegories, not fiction” can’t really be erased, and by reading the stories you can deduce what you *don’t* know, that you should have known. This method isn’t always effective, as Lesser Lord Kusanali simply replaced Greater Lord Rukhadevata in all historical texts, but when The Balladeer erased himself without providing a substitute, the stories about his life allowed us to re-deduce it after the tampering took place.

    Just some interesting lore, or the like, additions to some of the books, in case anyone is interested (sorry if some were already mentioned): 2:00 So, some people know more about this book than others cuz contents of all the other volumes got datamined and leaked at like the beginning of the game. As for why people find significance even more now (SPOILERS FOR THE LATEST DAIN QUEST, you've been warned, skip to next timestamp if you don't wanna see it)..... it's almost confirmed that the six pigmies in the story are the 5 great sinners of khaenriah + dainslief (he says "me and the 5 sinners" in the quest specifically). To understand this, you need to search all the volumes yourself (obviously might spoil yourself) but basically the six pigmies in the story seemingly have the reversed personality traits of the sinners and dain 2:55 For the pharmacist Yasumoto. This is actually part of a quite sad world quest. Basically, he was a traveling doctor that wanted to help cure tatarigami on Yashiori Island, even when half the villagers died. He might have continued to stay cuz of guilt of those he couldn't save and responsibility to the living. In the first note, you can see that he didn't have a cure, so he at least tried to make Lavender Melon soup for people to at least try to make people believe that they feel better. The only thing, in another note that we can find, people actually have discovered what he was doing and it wasn't pretty: "...Yasumoto is a fraud. All he does is boil Lavender Melon with Sugar, which has no medicinal properties whatsoever... ...He always seemed like a waste of space, and sure enough, he can't be trusted..." In the second note, woman mentions her child Chouji, who is part of the other world quest on the island Third note mentions that Yasumoto will try the cure on himself after meeting the traveler. That's where the world quest with Yatsumoto actually starts and we help to gather materials for him for a few days. After that, Yasumoto disappears but by following him with elemental sight, traveler finds a basket of Naku Weeds that are left behind on the southernmost point of Yashiori Island. While his fate remains ambiguous, the Chinese description of the achievement for doing the quest is "Witness the ending of Yasumoto." 3:55 Someone, in 2021, tried to translate this ballad based on the info we have on hilichurlian language (this isn't a perfect translation but still, credit to Thekenneths on the wiki): "Hello! Hello! You eat meat! Not, not eat meat, You eat vegetables! Eat vegetables, eat stone, You weak weak!" 4:20 So, the you actually meet Roland on Tsurumi Island and help him in a quest, after which he leaves, but the funny part is that he manages to drop his diary, which is the last volume of the book 5:30 Another fun fact, with addition of the new mode, Imaginarium Theater, you can draw fortune slips there once a season (month) and those have excerpts from random books (you can find it on the wiki page of the theater). And some of them ARE from History of Kings and Clans. Here are the volumes it has (basically the History of Kings and Clans: name of the volume): Tyrants, Heirs, and Rebels (I), Tyrants, Heirs, and Rebels (XII), Tyrants, Heirs, and Rebels (V), The Cultivation of Mondstadt (V), Tyrants, Heirs, and Rebels (III), Tyrants, Heirs, and Rebels (XI) 6:05 So, the end of the book implies that the boy will walk across Teyvat to find the young girl friend. The boy is the author, Chang the Ninth and the girl is Little Nine, a ghost girl you can find and have a world quest with near Qingce Village. Chang didn't know that she died and thought she just disappeared, while Little Nine became a ghost and stopped aging. It's a really bad TLDR but there's a whole quest for that if you're interested that can be found even on wiki. Or just search the girl's name on wiki, it will give the TLDR of their story 6:40 Ode to Khvarena is actually really important lore vise and while i understand why it might sound like just Colorful language but NO, all of those are actual names, people and places in Sumeru. I don't see a point of explaining it much, though, since there's a whole quest chain called "Khvarena of Good and Evil" that explains most of that stuff and is one of my favorite world quests (just cuz of all the lore it gives) (the quest chains is also super long and i won't be able to TLDR it) 9:30 This book actually gave us quite a bit of important info on Remuria, considering it came out in 4.0 and Remuria itself came out in 4.6 11:30 Mondstadt tower, i'm pretty sure, is a reference to a Hunchback of Notre Dame. And one of it's later excerpts can also be found in the Imaginarium Theater 12:43 Also lore relevant book, mostly to just the whole lore of the Desert (well, King Deshret's part of the desert to be exact, AKA Al-Alhmar AKA Amun, the guy has quite a few names and a LOT of lore connected to him). The end is also abrupt cuz it continues in one of BEST world quests story wise. Like, people want an NPC from that quest to become playable character, she's such a good written character (the name of the quest is The Golden Slumber + has continuation quests) 15:45 Not anything about the contents of the book but most people hate it, cuz to get the last volume you have to fish 10 pages from the waters in Inazuma and you have a 2% chance to get a page along with the fish you caught. Some people still don't have that volume 17:55 Leonard is actually the first big Event NPC, the 1.1 event, Unreconciled Stars (which is really important to lore TBH) was kinda about him. He did found the way down but couldn't actually conquer the mountain. So instead, he CREATED THE WINDGLIDERS that all the people use nowadays in Teyvat. In the event, The strength of his will was so strong, it induced the meteorite showers that sent those who touched it into a deep slumber, where they dreamt of ascending the mountain. Those trapped in the dream felt compelled to climb it, as though possessed. You can also see that, with creation of Glider and his name, he's basically a reference to Leonardo da Vinci 18:25 So, the aristocrats mentioned here actually have more story on them in other parts of the game (mostly weapons). Specifically Eberhart, Eberhart's slave (the gladiator from... Gladiator artifact set), red-haired reaper (Vannessa), Parsifal and Priscilla 22:05 Without spoilers, there definitely is more truth 23:00 Guizhong is actually really important character to Liyue and was theorized to even be Rex Lapis' lover (though game only states them as very good friends). You can learn more from 2023 Lantern Rite event 27:35 This one is actually a retelling of the events of the first volume (well, prologue) of genshin manga. Definitely a recommended read if you liked the book 27:55 Funnily/Interestingly enough, Legend of the Shattered Halberd seems to be really important for lore. Not only does it have some allegories to the main story but Prinzessin der Verurteilung at the end is literally Fischl. Well, not the playable character (real name Amy) but the character she LARPs as. And that character might also be really important to the lore. Making Amy herself a walking and talking red flag anytime she talks as Fischl. And obviously, it's connected to Flowers for Princess Fischl 28:15 This is actually a retelling of the history of one of the places in the desert, connected to a world quest and is part of the quest chain with that best written NPC i mentioned previously. The book itself is inspired by the story Khosrow and Shirin from real life (1/2)

    29:50 Vera's Melancholy is my favorite book (cuz it kept me up for a year) and it's definitely lore related and also seems to have some Lovecraftian stuff in it. In case you want some important parts from it, the beginning part about different Worlds: The first is about Delphi, it's an actual place IRL but is also a place in Enkanomiya, the world with 14 Valkaries fighting against doomsday is literally about another of Hoyoverse's games - Honkai Impact 3rd. And the book also has very important quote at the end "Only the future can save the past", which is important cuz it's a direct quote from Dainslief's character card (it's 1 to1 in Chinese translation) and that card got even more importance after the recent Dain quest 33:15 Well, people still had to be depressed for 3 years, since the book came out in 1.0 and the Finch's reunion only happened in 4.1 39:30 Not only was it written by different Authors, it was written by multiple Hexenzirkel witches and implies that Octavia might be one of those witches that we haven't heard prior. Also possible implications for the game's story with that world ending event at the end, since Hexenzirkel witches are kinda important and powerful and would know stuff like that 44:10 The book itself might actually be an allegory for Khaenri'ahn stuff or some other. Aside from that, Volume 1 is actually about Penguin that Freminet named his meka after - Pers 45:25 La Chanson d'Erinnyes is another of the lore important books but i like that it's based on the Song of Roland and some Arthurian legends (well, i guess it's part of the lore that is based on that and book is based on the lore) 46:55 The advanced empire is most likely Khaenri'ah, especially with the "giants with one eye" that throw "Bulle Fruits" with accuracy 47:55 Perinheri is actually REALLY important, especially to Arlecchino. It's the first book that confirmed that Khaenri'ah had 2 dynasties. Also, Angelica is agreed to be either Istaroth or Venti, not Arlecchino (Arlecchino has more connections to Perinheri himself) 48:45 I think it's more or less agreed to be an allegory or retelling of our sibling's and dain's travels but not confirmed 53:45 Another quite important book lore-wise related to abyss and seelies 1:02:15 A bit of a correction, wolf doesn't want to go but it's the boar princess who suggests to feed him with her companions. He was literally stupefied when she said "I will sacrifice everything to feed your hungry belly!". He did help her catch them though. Also, this book is the inspiration for the whole aesthetic of the Imaginarium Theater. You can find the plushy Wolfy (Though the boar princess wolf is just one of his "roles") and the boar princess on the painting. Also, Nicole, from Hexenzirkel is a boar too ??? 1:03:00 Not only that but during Raiden's Story Quest act 1 it's the book that you can suggest for Raiden to read 1:07:20 Heart's desire might have allegory to real lore of the game 1:08:55 If you're interested in this book, roozevelt has a really interesting theory video based on it (called "Time is (NOT) an Illusion) on how time might work in Teyvat (though, spoilers for quests of course) (2/2)

    Finally have the time to watch this video! Thank you, this was a very entertaining watch. I think a lot of these books make more sense when you do the world quests and that's when people will appreciate it more. But you get there when you get there. It's the same with the lore. Only problem is if you missed limited time events that gives more context or continuation to the books because i think that makes them more interesting, like the two musketeers (where chevreuse's investigation leads to finding a real murderer related to this book), heart of clear springs (the continuation of this book and how the spring fairy relates to diona) and the one about leonard. Btw im only assuming you missed them because i think you would've mentioned them in the video if you did the events, which you can probably find somewhere on KZread if you're interested. Sorry this has gotten long. Again, thanks for the video! I really think what you did here - for yourself and other viewers - can make exploring genshin more enjoyable as you progress and get to know the world more.
