The Divine Damsel of Devastation
Opera by The Yun-Han Opera Troupe (x)
Damn, Enkanomiya is so beautiful. I don’t think a scenery in Genshin ever gave me such an impression
About Arataki Itto (Quest Spoilers)...
I really loved Itto's event. It was just what I've come to expect of a character like him. He's loud, boisterous, has a kind heart, and he's really funny to watch and listen to.
I felt bad he and Takuya got arrested at the end, but they did kind of bring it on themselves. Takuya did some pretty bad stuff and Itto didn't really help his own situation.
The Traveler got to tease Paimon some more, there was a funny Onikabuto fight, and the storyline for the event was pretty good. It seemed like Takuya was a little floppy at times - blaming Itto and the red oni for his situation but then turning around and trying to keep Itto out of it only to go back to blaming him before finally calming down. I think I'll chock it up to him being morally confused with his choices.
Granny Oni went from sounding like she wanted to give Itto a piece of her mind to singing his praises. Granny's are scary.
That first oni cutscene broke my heart but the second one had me smiling like an idiot. That was a nice way for the event to end and I loved how Itto appeared at the end of it.
Now, if he would just come home.
So about the update...
There have been several speculations about the kingdom in the sky and the kingdom of darkness that's referred to in the cutscene at the beginning of every battle pass, and with the release of Enkanomiya, my remaining two braincells made some electricity and came up with a coherent thought.
The pearl
The symbol of the Gnostic Hymn looks an awful lot like the genesis pearl that the heir from the kingdom in heaven was tasked to find.
So this one is guarded by a snake (wow good job may who would've thought). This may lead to Orobashi who saved the people of Enkanomiya from the Dragonheir of the Depths. This Dragonheir is used to refer to the Bathysmal Vishaps in Enkanomiya. "Bathysmal" refers exclusively to something belonging of the deep sea (Note that the word used is Bathysmal and not Abysmal, indicating two distinct regions). So whether this snake is Orobashi or the Dragonheir is still unclear, but my guess is the Dragonheir since the events of Orobashi rescuing the people and bringing them to the surface are relatively recent (at least from my speculation).
The involvement of the Abyss
So we know that the abyss is clearly involved because of the Pyro lector. It was searching for a book which proved that Celestia came from someplace other than Teyvat and before that, it belonged to a single civilization. We'll come to that later. It calls Enkanomiya the land of sinners, which sounds oddly biblical for a nation who proudly calls itself a nation without gods. Khaenriah most definitely wasn't the first nation destroyed by Celestia, it's predecessors being Sal Vindagnyr and Tsurumi. The common thing between these two nations was that it was cause by a weapon or weapons which destroyed the let lines there and caused the climate to go into disarray. We don't know whether Enkanomiya was always in the state it is right now, requiring artificial modification to change the time of day, but it may be a possibility that Enkanomiya, like Khaenria, was destroyed for questioning the authority if the gods. Perhaps Khaenria was built by another group of people who fled Enkanomiya after it's destruction.
KFC windglider lore
Yeah this is definitely a bit of a stretch but this is what the windglider lore says:
Once upon a time, that world was ruled by dragons. But not the ones you hear about in stories. These were more akin to a cross between lizards and chickens. It might be hard for you to imagine it, Klee, but that was exactly what that world was like: fish-dragons lived in the oceans, and bird-dragons soared through the skies on wings that were super huge! They were powerful creatures, and so they looked down on all the other animals. In that world, they were rulers of all life. Later on, humans appeared in that world. No one knows how that happened. Maybe they came with the falling meteorites.
So that's the relevant part of the lore. I would like to draw your attention to the fish dragons living in the ocean, which may resemble the Bathysmal vishaps. I mean, they don't exactly look like the Durin/Dvalin-esque winged dragons who breathe fire. So maybe Enkanomiya is the remains of this civilization? Or a part of it? At least the sea part of it. Now these falling meteorites may be a reference to the wishing system. Yknow, those stars and all. Also when we're out of primogems, we can buy genesis crystals which could be fragments of the genesis pearl? Idk it's downright speculative from here on.
Primogems
Speaking of primogems, their description mentions them to be shining with the condensed hopes and dreams of universes that once were. And we wish with primogems. And we wish for characters. So maybe, Celestia were the ones who created humans in Teyvat? Which leads on to this insanely speculative theory I have which says that Celestia may be one of the projects launched in the Honkai universe to preserve humanity. Sigh this is too much work maybe I'll make another post about that theory.
Leaks utc:
While this tanuki event didn’t seem very interesting at first, it’s actually fun as Paimon and the Traveler talk about their journey and reference people and events that happened.
And I’m too curious about that thing with Kaeya. I really hope we end up discovering what’s up with that because they’ve been mentioning in this third part non-stop and even Paimon is wondering about it! Edit: We don’t get a resolution for now 😕
Just for the fun of it I decided to climb up here and turns out you get an Achievement for it! lol
I’m really liking this event so far! I always say this but it’s nice having events where we see part of the cast of that region just chilling with each other.
I mean, we got conversations we never had before, like Zhongli and Hu Tao in the same scene, finally! Even Xiangling was there! (And Guoba). And then Beidou helping Ningguang (for money of course) and Xinyan helping too. It’s great doing things together, I hope we get more characters in later parts.
Last year with Xiao was wholesome but it felt like a missed opportunity to include the others, I’m glad they have learnt.
Now if only we could have Xiao and Zhongli in the same scene....
Also I have to say this, Ningguang’s new dress is the best skin they have done. Probably even my favourite alternative costume from all we’ve seen in advertisement and such. It’s so beautiful, the color blue looks great on her and it’s a nice change from her usual dress, it’s worth it.
OH MY GOD I FEEL SO DUMB 😂
Yesterday I climbed this place and today I find a sidequest that gives me an easy way to come here!!
You know what? Whatever, it’s more fun climbing yourself lol
