Crack outlander narwhal theroy has evidince now???
Okay so a while ago I made a post saying that childes trauma whale was an outlander/descender because of the reasons that whales are often themed around the cosmos and outer space and that there are whales on the space train astral express. But now I have some more evidence to back up the theory??(how did this happen)
it is stated in the nymph artifact set in Fell Dragon's Monocle "And before the dragon falls into the chasm that dissolves all things, he will think of the times he once spent with the hero. And at last, he will say:
"Yes, hatred shall not fill me. I know that you have not seen the sights I have, and that is why you wish to stop me."
"The star-beasts shall drink the amniotic fluid of the world dry. A hundred years from then, all life on its surface shall be wiped away.""
It is stated by the dragon as they fal into the chasam that dissovles all things(Primordal water) "The star-beasts shall drink the amniotic fluid of the world dry" I belive there is a russian tale that speaks of a whale called ivan that drinks the see now i belive that is the narwal and it has also been supported by the fact in the 4.2 livestream(Spoilers for livestream ahead.) That one of its attacks swallows up you and the sea.
The secound major piece of evidince comes agian from the the 4.2 livestream
With both the splash art and the attacks we can see the whale breaking through the sky and with stars comiing down simalar to the Travler desending from the stars. Again another connection to the travller is how themmed with stars they are star all around them breaking childes constallation there are not many othe charchters are. And in the english livestream it Sarah the Eng voice of lumine says this
This otherworldly litralley being descibed as not from this world, so hopefully we shall get and answer in 4.2 baby.
Yaksha have Latin names (Alatus, Menogias, Boscacius etc) and "warlike temperaments"
The famous musician featured in Golden Troupe artifact lore is named Boethius - not his real name, but a Latin one bestowed upon him by King Remus - who came from a "barbarian tribe"
One of Xiao's titles is "Golden-Winged King," and he's also a flautist.
Chongyun believed, during the anniversary quest, that Diona's Oceanid blessing felt like adeptal affinity
The yaksha are adepti
Conclusion: Yaksha - and possibly all adepti - are from Fontaine
[2.2] THE 4 PRAYERS CIRCLETS - Do They Foreshadow Genshin's Plot?
Originally tweeted on Nov. 19, 2021 (Version 2.2)
https://twitter.com/celestiabyss/status/1461390916821069824
Celestia being secretive, people questioning the divine, the search for answers in "deep places", and other recurring themes - these are mentioned in the lore of 4 certain circlets that offer elemental resistances.
The 4 circlet sets are:
Prayers for Illumination
Prayers for Destiny
Prayers for Wisdom
Prayers to Springtime
The descriptions for each set are all pieces of the same puzzle: they seem to tell the story of ancient Teyvat and their ties with Celestia. Now let's dive in!
[Prayers for Illumination]
It seems that ancient Teyvat used to be in contact w/ Celestia, and used to be covered in "eternal ice" that begun to thaw. People could hear "revelations from the heavens" directly, and "envoys of the gods" were present. Who could be these envoys?
"It was a time of great prosperity, when all was left in the hands of such heavenly revelations."
The envoys said that "the world would soon enter a new and brighter age". The people wondered if these "wonderful times" might come to an end, but the envoys were silent about this.
Thus, the people chose a "chief priest" among them to search for answers in their behalf.
The chief priest was sent out into the "deep places of the world".
"To antediluvian ruins and long-buried altars of sacrifice, to seek answers and enlightenment..."
Going to ruins in search for answers...does this experience seem familiar to you? In our travels, we've consistently encountered mysterious underground ruins (Dragonspine, Tsurumi, etc.). Makes me wonder if underground areas will be endgame...

[Prayers for Destiny]
This circlet almost has the same story as Prayers for Illumination, but with extra stuff:
"elemental flows were smooth and well-ordered" (were the leylines ok in ancient times?)
"A hundred years of bounty were written in the stars..." (constellations?)
[Prayers for Wisdom]
This is where things get even more interesting! We now see the people questioning/challenging the Gods, and this is a recurring theme in Genshin (e.g. Khaenri'ah, Inazuma arc).
"Their prosperity brought pride and ambition, and the mind to question."
The people "questioned the heaven's authority, and schemed to enter the garden of gods." This angered the envoys of heaven, and the line that followed notably mentioned Eternity!
"For to question eternity was forbidden, For earth to challenge sky, inexpiable."
This makes me wonder if this is related to one of Ei's lines, "Only Eternity can bring us closer to the Heavenly Principles."
Witnessing the fall of Khaenri'ah, the death of Makoto, and other losses while purging "obstacles to progress" made her fear of loss even greater.
Ei then began to pursue Eternity, but hers is a "static" one (never-changing). She also gave up her Gnosis and cut off all ties with Celestia.
Although Ei's actions can be seen as rebellion against Celestia, she's not actively going against them. It seems more like "avoidance".
It also seems that Ei is "playing it safe". We still don't know what exactly are the Heavenly Principles, but to protect Inazuma, she's using Eternity to become closer to said principles. This is more like a "I don't want Inazuma to end up like Khaenri'ah" kind of situation.
The whole Celestia-getting-angry portion also reminds me of Dainsleif's lines about the Hydro Archon and the Tsaritsa from the Teyvat Chapter Storyline Preview: Travail.
Dainsleif said this about the Hydro Archon:
"The God of Justice lives for the spectacle of the courtroom, seeking to judge all other gods. But even she knows not to make an enemy of the divine."
This seems to be another hint that Celestia must not be angered.
Meanwhile, Dainsleif said this about the Tsaritsa:
"Her followers hope only to be on her side when the day of her rebellion against the divine comes at last."
In contrast to Ei, the Tsaritsa is actively going against Celestia (e.g. collecting the Gnoses).
But wait...the Tsaritsa doesn't seem to be the only one actively rebelling against Celestia right now. Yes we also have...the Abyss Twin!
"Until the Abyss has engulfed the thrones, my war with destiny will see no end..."
The Abyss Twin wants the Traveler to continue their journey and see the "true nature of this world".
It seems that for the Abyss Twin, reuniting can wait, and that "engulfing the thrones" is of urgent importance right now.
The Abyss Twin has already traveled Teyvat once, has more experience in Khaenri'ah, and is furious with Dainsleif for failing to protect Khaenri'ah. This seems to explain why they're siding with the Abyss.
Given that the Cataclysm happened 500 years ago, and that the Abyss Twin's pre-Cataclysm experience in Teyvat could be a lot different than the Traveler's experience now (factors such as differences in historical contexts and people they've met), I really wonder how the Abyss Twin concluded that the Traveler will also find the "true nature of this world" at the end of their journey, because their journey MIGHT BE different.
Unless...this is a case of "history repeats itself."
And with that, we move on to the lore of the last circlet!
[Prayers to Springtime pt. 1]
Like Prayers for Wisdom, Prayers to Springtime also mentions Eternity!
"All prosperity must someday end, But this does not mean that nothing is eternal. At the end of a cycle, the earth shall be renewed. Thus eternity is cyclical."
Eternity is cyclical...this is in contrast to Ei's "static eternity", but I speculate that "cyclical eternity" might be the new kind of eternity she will strive for.
In her story quest, Ei tries to think of a "new form of Eternity".
She realizes that while change is inevitable, there are also some things that don't change.
What could be a good way of showing that Eternity can CHANGE but can also be CONSTANT?
A CYCLE! It shows change AND repetition!
I've always wondered why Eternity was the 3rd ideal introduced to us. It was introduced so early, and the ideal itself is still Ei's WIP (work-in-progress).
But maybe this was intentional. Maybe like Ei's Eternity, our knowledge of Teyvat's possible cycle is still a WIP.
[Prayers to Springtime pt. 2]
It's interesting to see how the last paragraph of this circlet is the first paragraph of Prayers for Illumination. It now directly mentions Celestia, and once again mentions that the earth was covered in "unending ice".
Now that we've read the lore text of all 4 circlets, I want you all to read them in the same order:
Prayers for Illumination
Prayers for Destiny
Prayers for Wisdom
Prayers to Springtime
Does reading them feel like a cycle?
I also wonder if the "unending ice" symbolizes something...perhaps a major catastrophe/phenomenon?
For instance, we've learned of civilizations being wiped out (Khaenri'ah, Sal Vindagnyr, etc.). They're different civilizations, but I speculate that this stuff happens cyclically.
And now the ongoing question remains...what will happen to Teyvat this time?
What will everyone do? (Traveler, Abyss Twin, Archons, Fatui, etc.)
And whatever happens, what will be Celestia's response?
Is Teyvat truly stuck in a cycle of destruction and rebirth?
And that concludes the thread!
I apologize if the thread is messy and I'm just going in circles (pun intended). But I hope you've learned something from it!
There are topics related to this thread that I wanted to cover but I'm not that confident enough, especially when it comes to leyline, domain, and Dragonspine lore. So pls feel free to share your thoughts and link some stuff! I'd love to hear about other connections you've made between the 4 Prayers circlets and other pieces of lore! Thank you for reading!

I’ve noticed I tend to get Invested in things slowly but when I do it is all-consuming, so when I check something out just to see what my friends are talking about, it’s just.

My friend Eagle: I know I said I wouldn’t spend money on Genshin Impact, but hhhhhhhhVenti banner.
Me: Oh, Venti’s swag! He’s the little dude you fight at the Golden House, right?

Eagle: H-
Me: Rostam was a knight in the Knights of Favonius around 500 years ago, famed as the "Wolf Pup"[1] and the close friend and rival of the Grand Master of the time, Arundolyn.

Early life
Death
Rostam was friends and rivals with Arundolyn, forging a bond strong enough that, after he was slain in battle, Arundolyn never entered combat again out of grief.Rostam wielded a sword in battle, and his combat style is still practiced by the Knights of Favonius to this day.[2] He also mentored the White Knight, whose pursuit of uncompromising justice eventually turned him into the Bloodstained Knight.[3]
Early life
Rostam and Arundolyn spent most of their childhood together, first as rivals and then as fellow knights and close friends. He also fell in love with a maiden back in Mondstadt,[4] and was the mentor of the White Knight.[5]Despite being a Knight of Favonius, Rostam did not shy away from doing dirty work in the background — it is said that he even inherited Kreuzlied's secret society, which was formed 1,000 years ago to help Vennessa overthrow the Aristocracy.[6]
Death
After the fall of Khaenri'ah's Eclipse Dynasty and the cataclysm that followed, Rostam embarked on an expedition with the Knights of Favonius to exterminate monsters that spewed forth. He died in battle, however, bringing an end to his career as a knight of Favonius after 23 years of service.[7][8]Following his death, Arundolyn never took up the sword again. Meanwhile, the maiden he fell in love with returned to her hometown in Mondstadt only to find it destroyed by monsters and Rostam dead. Out of a desire for revenge, she used liquid fire to transfigure herself and became known as the Crimson Witch of Flames.[4][9]
Trivia
Rostam was a mythical Persian hero. Among the mythical figure's achievements is slaying an azhdaha; however, there is currently no known link between Genshin Impact's Rostam and Azhdaha.

The Urn of Earn is a urn approximately 5 feet tall and 3 feet in diameter at its widest point, with an opening large enough for an average human child to slip into. It is made of a strange, almost crystalline substance, purple in color and resistant to all attempts to scratch its surface or even alter its color by magic. It appears to have been completely, though unprofessionally, carved from a single immense crystal, causing it to have a jagged appearance and making holding it by is handles somewhat painful as its edges dig into the hand. It is usually sealed with a heavy iron lid, though the lid itself is not part of the Urn and may be removed, damaged, or replaced.
The Urn cannot be teleported or moved through a Gate, nor can it be stored inside of an extradimensional space (it will simply resist crossing the threshold). It must be carried, either by hand, cart, or a spell such as Floating Disk.
Each day, a single gold coin is formed inside of the Urn. These coins can be removed with little difficulty. The Urn will slowly but consistently generate these coins each day until it is either completely full, or placed inside an Antimagic Shell or Magic Circle Against Law, both of which impede the Urn’s functions and prevent any of its qualities from manifesting. The Urn’s greater properties manifest when any substance is placed inside of it.
Any non magical substance placed inside of the Urn of Earn is slowly transmuted into gold, and the gold is shaped into gold coins. This process is by no means perfect or efficient; it takes one day to transmute one pound of solid, non-metal matter into only 1d4+1 coins. It takes a day to transmute one pint of liquid into 1d3 coins. Metals are transformed with the greatest “efficiency,” one pound of metal transmuting into 1d6+1 coins. Flesh, soil or similar loose substrate, and non-wood plant matter are the least efficient, taking a full day for 1 pound to be transformed into 1d2 coins.
Items inside the Urn are slowly broken down over time until nothing is left but a pile of gold coins. The interior of the Urn is coated in a very thin layer of gold dust as it turns the air itself to gold. Items weighing less than the Urn’s thresholds are turned into piles of golden dust, which the Urn will shape into gold coins once it contains enough.
Living creatures imprisoned inside the Urn experience 1 point of Strength and Dexterity drain every 2 hours as portions of their anatomy are transmuted into gold. Once both their Str and Dex are drained to 0, the creature is effectively killed, it’s body petrified and turned to gold, which then begins flaking away and turning into coins. Creatures immune to ability drain are not immune to this painful transformation, though being immune to Polymorph protects them.
Destruction: the Urn of Earn can be destroyed if kept inside a lifeless, airless, perfectly sterile environment for 1 continuous year, at which point it will begin transmuting itself into gold. Because of the loss of mass involved, the Urn will usually only manage to generate 1d20+5 coins before shattering itself irreperably and breaking its magical effect.
The Doom Idol of Ib is a unique artifact, a jade statuette of the Great Old One Bokrug that grants its holder immunity to insanity and Wisdom damage, as well as the power to cast Horrid Wilting once per day… Provided that the user also targets themselves with the spell in addition to any other targets they may have.
The Doom Idol has a much worse, more significant use, though: It acts as a magnet for the Ib Shades; froglike, man-sized creatures whose touch causes overwhelming fear and corrodes physical matter as if it were acid. Ib Shades can automatically sense the distance and direction of the Doom Idol regardless of interposing matter or magic and relentlessly move towards it in crowds of dozens at a time to retrieve it and bring it back to the shrine of Bokrug in the Dreamlands.
While the Shades cannot sense the Idol if it is taken to another plane, the waterways of the Dreamlands flow through the minds of all thinking, dreaming creatures. It’s only a matter of time before the Shades can catch its scent once more and begin to track it down, assaulting unfortunates in their sleep to figure out where their treasure is.
