Have you ever wondered about the fact that Dorian had to take care of the Knights' logistics duties for six months while pretending to be Hertha? Do you think he had to panic study it?

Ooook we’re headed back to dragonspine to look for that last scarlet floaty thingy, lets see how everyones doing…

We got:

enthusiastic adventurer with access to fire, and he brought pants, shit do you need an extra jacket?

angelic wind spirit possessing a manakin, oh, he’s actually in something that wont cause hypothermia

homunculus alchemist who’s used to the cold weather and—

VENTI PLEASE, YOULL GET SICK— no your cloak wont be enough to keep you warm its not even designed for that! Look this may not be fashionable but you can change as soon as we leave, i know im being a mom friend but please work with me here *sterling yeets a spare hoodie and pants at him*

Finished this!

Sorry.

What.

Did you.

Just say?

Dragonspine is not a part of Teyvat?

I think there's a crack theory to be made out of this.

I wasn't playing genshin during Albedo event so it's fitting coming here as Durin kinda... You know about big events here but wasn't there to witness them

What if Lohen is an Imunlaukr?

The Imunlaukr clan is an old Mondstadt clan that appears in Dragonspine lore and sacrifice set. To this day, we don't have any information of them in the present Mond... (I haven't explored Dorman Port yet so idk if there's something there, no spoiler pls) but what if Lohen has some relation with the Imunlaukr?

It is said that this clan is formed by warriors and is dedicated to entertaining the gods by fighting. They usually die young because of their lifestyle and, contrary to other families like the Gunnildr, they don't care about glory.

Curiosly, Varka says something similar:

"I used to think he was like a younger me — eager to fight strong foes and win glory... Turns out, he's just into the fighting part, couldn't care less about the glory. *sigh* Well, at least when he's fighting the enemy, it keeps him busy. Otherwise, he'll be digging traps to ambush me out of boredom."

And now with those leaks of Lohen's gameplay and the fact that he'll be a 5 star, I expect some interesting backround. And I mean... I can totally see his dedication to combat and bloodshed. 🧍‍♀️

Dragonspine continues to live rent free in my head.

Durin’s blood — original Durin, I mean — was poisonous, and corrupted and incapacitated Dvalin for several centuries after the Cataclysm. I think Durin’s blood was tainted by the Abyss, as part of Rhinedottir’s many experiments in creating lifeforms?

And yet, that blood also revitalized the Frostbearing Tree — which if I remember correctly is a part of Irminsul that was damaged from the Nail being sent down on Sal Vindagnyr — via bringing it Crimson Agates.

We also have another tiny lore piece on Durin’s blood through the Scarlet Quartz we can break to stave off the Sheer Cold. As expected, it’s toxic to normal humans.

The only we have to go off of is in the Archive Description, that Durin’s blood apparently seeped into the ley lines, which could explain the Crimson Agates forming.

Now obviously, something about all of this still sounds weird.

I need new current / mini Durin to go and investigate the Frostbearing Tree and OG Durin’s blood (i.e. the differences between Scarlet Quartz and Crimson Agate). I know they’re just game mechanics; but lore-wise, it’s just a waste to not study them. 🥀

Especially after how Skirk (iirc) compares Abyssal powers to natural calamities like storms, and questions whether the Traveler can actually purify abyssal corruption, or if it’s some other kind of power.
