Spoilers for the new Genshin web event and the quest "Caribert", please play the quest and/or go through the current lore for the web event before reading this if you don't like spoilers!

The self proclaimed "MatPat of Genshin", here to obsess over the lore so you don't have to drive yourself insane, presents...a brief display of something I've noticed relating to Paimon!

I know how everyone is talking about the star on the moon symbol in the Song of the Welkin Moon event, how it matches Paimon, and all the theories about her being the new moon, but didn't we clearly see from Alberich's pupils that the eyes of Khaenri'ahns are not merely diamond shaped, but star shaped, star shaped but the exact same shape as the star on the sign and on Paimon.

I don't see many people talking about this...am I the only one who's noticed this lmao?-

As a Khaenri'ah lore enthusiast and a Paimon lore lover this was HUGE for me. What if, as we've seen in the past there are those who worshipped the moons, and those who still do, but what if in the future there is revealed a race of people(possibly Khaenri'ahn) who worshipped Paimon, the brightest star and the new moon.

Also did we all skip past how when you wish it looks like shooting stars falling from the sky and you wish with "fates" and the only way to get "fate" is from PAIMON.

Here's my current theory for the identity of Paimon(skip this if you don't wish to hear it): Paimon is the fourth moon sister, the new moon, the Welkin Moon which shall be referred to as "God of Fate" and she shall be the one to take back ownership of Teyvat from the heavenly principles and rewrite the order of Teyvat, bringing karma with fate for all the gods as well as the heavenly principles themselves, and the traveler will likely have the choice to stay and rule over Teyvat as the new "sustainer" alongside Paimon or to continue their journey to the next world with their sibling.

Ok this might just be sleep deprivation talking but hear me out, have you ever noticed or really stopped to think about this.. whenever you get in-game mail from "Paimon" it isn't signed like a normal name, instead all in capital letters as if listing each individual letter, foreshadowing? I really need to get some sleep-
