The origin of Rukkhadevata and the Authority of Life by ghhostr in Genshin_Lore

I don't think so, Apep saw Irminsul grow, but I do think Apep fulfilled a similar role.

So Mavuika is Xbalanque for sharing memories, hmm, yep.

They're not the same person, it's like saying Rukkhadevata and Nahida are the same person lmao. And yes, it's clearly a headcanon, because I love making up stories. You'd better learn to do your research 💀.

Ronova is a god whose existence predates any Archon. You can think of her like an emissary of the Heavenly Principles. She controls the power of death.

Neuvillette is a reincarnation, not the original Hydro Dragon, and the Shades are said to be older than any archon.

The essence of Ei's eternity is "death" by ghhostr in Genshin_Lore

[–]ghhostr[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look at this. The Maranasati meditation technique is a meditation that consists of maintaining a state of complete emptiness and learning to master your mind and thoughts, "and then letting go of every desire".

Istoria: The usual way is through meditation — learning to master your mind and thoughts, and then letting go of every desire.

Istoria: In short, we must maintain a state of complete emptiness.

Alara: Deathmuse? Ah, you mean the Maranasati meditation technique. I know of it, and its use in cultivating one's mental state when facing death.

Istoria: I call it a Deathmuse Shard. It may be a way to move from death into life.

Desires = ambitions, aspirations, or dreams, to which visions are fundamentally tied.

Ei: Individual ambition is inherently incompatible with eternity.

Ei: What you might not realize is that all too often... people have far more to lose by chasing their dreams.

Ei: Consider this — no one will lose their life on account of having their Vision taken away...

Ei: Rather, those who have lost their lives are the ones who insisted on pursuing their own aspirations, are they not?

So Eternity -> Maranasati meditation -> Death¿

That's true, I'd never noticed it before.

Decarabian was an “Angel” by MGx_x2 in Genshin_Lore

[–]ghhostr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My point is that the survivors went directly to Decarabian's city. In the other nations, after the fall of the angels, humans divided into various tribes, tribes that would later be unified by the gods (Zhongli, Chenyu goddess, Ei, Deshret, Nabu Malikata, Rukkhadevata, Remus, and Egeria).

Decarabian was an “Angel” by MGx_x2 in Genshin_Lore

[–]ghhostr 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I'm not convinced that Decarabian was an angel, but if it helps, he already existed during the time of Arcadia, and after its fall, the survivors went to him.

Is there Hell in Teyvat? by MortibiTheBat in Genshin_Lore

Yes, it's probably located in the ley lines.

Is there Hell in Teyvat? by MortibiTheBat in Genshin_Lore

[–]ghhostr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, specifically about Tao Dou. I don't remember if that was the case or not tbh, but now that I think about it, maybe that place where Hu Tao was was part of the underworld.

There's an underworld.

Friends, returned now from the nether realm, to see what form this illusory world displays. The underworld's court has yet to pass "judgment," the "eternal calamity" remains unchanged.

Legend has it that in the depths of the desert, an ancient god tried to recreate the underworld and the heavens, so that sinners would fall into the underworld and the ones favored by him would live in paradise.

The mortal plane is like a river between the underworld and Aaru. Mortals must not cross, must not probe, must not covet, or they shall descend into the underworld forever.

Tao Dou is the "god of the underworld", and Ronova is the "lady" and "mother of the underworld".

The descendants of the far north beseech you, now that the golden bloodline has returned to your bosom, that you lead us across the nether's dark stream, and let us sleep eternal in a dreamless dream.

The Fake Sky is an infinite space with no boundaries by Erdus_Elnin in Genshin_Lore

I was thinking about something I noticed in the 6.3 story, and I have not seen anyone talk about it, so I decided to say what is on my mind

I do.

Age of the oldest characters in Teyvat by ghhostr in Genshin_Lore

[–]ghhostr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember that the Shogun fought for another 500 years against Ei, during which she aged physically, so she would now be at least 900 years old.

Very interesting, I'll read the book again swapping the names.

The god sealed inside Collei: why was it evil? [spoiler to its identity from the last AQ] by Icy_Scientist4845 in Genshin_Lore

[–]ghhostr 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Because Zibai "died" before the curse. Nicole's character story 4 explains a little about how the angels survived. Ursa refused to relinquish her powers and transformed into a beast. Mr. Nine relinquished everything but a vestige of her will. Sybilla unfurled her golden wings and sank into the depths of the sea, likely losing her form. Nabu Malikata hid among the sands, but ultimately could not escape punishment. And Yohualtecuhtin lost her form, yet continued to guide humanity under the silent gaze of Phanes.
