Hey guys whats up, Aru! Finally we're getting
Arlecchino, but this Arlecchino isn't the graceful and friendly 4th harbinger we’ve seen
before, this is the true wolf that would even betray her own archon if it was “absolutely
necessary”. Necessary being to fight with her own children and the possibility of harming a lot
of members from the House of Hearth. So in today’s video we’ll e going over the “King” of the House
of Hearth in Crucaena’s fairytale. Arlecchino’s stance on that entire fantasy, as well as
why she needs Princess Marcotte or Clervie, even though we’re not entirely sure yet.
Not only that, we’ve also got Remuria and Petrichor that were hinted at in previous lore.
As well as a new Sumeru drop with Cyno and the High Priest of King Deshret, Hermanubis. Which
could give more info on a lot of Sumeru’s lore, especially the desert region of Teyvat. And
speaking of Desert, we’ll likely be getting lore about Natlan in the form of new artifact
sets which we haven't had for around 2 patches now. This will include the short animation about
Arlecchino as well as some theories around it too. So hopefully, I can ease you into what you
can expect in 4.6. You already know what's next, timestamps will be down below for any
topic you fancy, let's get started. Arlecchino - house of hearth - fatui plan
vs Arlecchno plan - Project Stuzha - Childe We already know that Arlecchino has her own plots
different from the Fatui. But looking at the trailer it seems like she's finally showing what
she's really up to. To Arlecchino the stage is now set, and all she needs is for her pawns to move as
intended. But Arlecchino’s grand play isn't only within the House of Hearth or in Fontaine, it goes
much deeper and probably far older. The preview for 4.6 is Two Worlds Aflame, the Crimson Night
Fades. Two Worlds Aflame is a hard stretch to the Khaenriah book, Perinheri. The book states that
Perinheri traversed the fire of two worlds within the hearth, and that he was reborn. “All plans
need someone to enact them. May frost blush under the crimson moon, A symphony resound from the
depths, And let sandswept secrets sleep no more, Til there's naught but to await an inescapable
fate.” From this alone, we know that Arlecchino’s plan stretches to possibly level or even exceed
that which the Hydro Archon Focalor has done. Whatever Arlecchino is planning to do, it extends
to people that she knows she can't control. Which are the children of the Hearth, the traveler, and
even Neuvillette. Quite similar to Focalor’s plan relying on things outside of her control, waiting
for the right dramatic moment. Frost blush under the crimson moon may be a relation between
Khaenriah and Snezhnaya, rather Pierro, the Tsaritsa and Khaenriah. A Symphony from the
depths stretches all the way to Remuria and his “Grand Symphony'' to combat the prophecy of
the heavens, or Fortuna. Sandswept secrets are probably the old world’s secrets after every
cycle. Where old worlds are buried beneath the sand or the ground, think of every old world ruin
that we keep finding under the surface. Finally the inescapable fate that we
can only wait for to happen, pointing towards Nicole’s words of wisdom
“People call such things "fate," and it is written in the stars — it cannot so easily be
altered. Ultimately, fate shall serve as your only guide no matter what will happen in Teyvat's
future. All you need to do is to play your part.” Project Stuzha could be one of Fatui's projects,
and it's likely related to Childe. Stuzha means bitter cold, and is a staple weather that the
people of Snezhnaya have become acclimated to and are fond of. Blizzards almost don't end in
Snezhnaya, so if they mean to bring that perpetual winter to all of Tayvat or at least Fontaine. Then
we’re slowly beginning a war between nations. But in Norse Mythology, a blizzard called fimbulvetr
would come first, before Ragnarok occurs. TLDR Ragnarok is the end of the world where everything
dies. Coincidentally Skirk’s master is Surtalogi the Foul, named after the fires of Surtr. And
both Childe and Skirk abyss powers are called Foul Legacy”, so its Surtalogi’s Legacy, Surtr’s fire
made manifest. And what does the Tsaritsa want? “Since you endured my bitter cold, you must have
the desire to burn, Then burn the old world away” A bitter cold to endure before the end of the
world burns everything in its path. So if Project Stuzha does happen, then we can expect more events
that lead to the end of Teyvat. But a project that big is probably going to need either the Hydro
Gnosis or the Remains of the third descender. Both I would think Pierro and Arlecchino already
know about. But Arlecchino still has the gnosis, so I think this new plan that includes the
Hearth members as well as princess Marcotte is what she needs to thwart her master’s
plans. But who exactly is Princess Marcotte? Freminet & what I can only assume as princess
Marcotte can be found in Freminet’s character story “Tales of the Snow Winged Goose ''.
When Fremminet feels different emotions, different fairytale characters appear in front
of him and to a degree interact with him, especially Pers. Princess Marcotte has long pink
hair that comes to him whenever he feels timid. Freminet knows of the time when Princess Marcotte
was still a seed, and that she rode across the ocean on the claws of a crab, abandoning her
birthplace for a promise of a better life. And in the animation teaser Clervie does the same,
so it could be implied that Arlecchino is looking for her childhood friend, Clervie. A scene in
the trailer shows some eyes sneaking around Lyney and Freminet at what looks to be Poisson.
This could either be Princess Marcotte herself, or worse Arlecchino spying on them. It's
possible that Princess Marcotte is hidden in Poisson since the 4.6 preview poster seems to
be the children in Poisson. The portal itself is oddly similar to portals that the Melusine
have through Merusa Village. Freminet has also been searching for a way to reach and
touch his imaginary world. So maybe these feelings that Freminet has are connected
to “places” that he finds. A lonely place, a timid place, and a troubled place. But that
would mean Freminet has a sight that's similar to what Melusine could see. Like the paintings of
Melusine, the sight from drinking certain potions, and gut instincts that Melusine have. The problem
is, Arlecchino is also already watching them, along with another Arlecchino inside of her
red moon pyro powers looking at the viewer. Not to mention Arlecchino glitching like she
isn't actually there. Well for that we’re gonna need to talk about the short animation in a
different video. Now, I may have already made one by the time you’re watching this, in which case
there will be a link here as well as down in the description if you want a video specifically about
Arlecchino in the trailer and the short animation. So Hoyo just released a short animation. "The
Song Burning in the Embers' ' shows off some interesting locations, and events that are likely
related to the trailer and the story of 4.6. 1st is Arlecchino's real name Peruere, which is kind
of close to Perinheri. Interestingly Peruere if translated to cn souls awfully close to
Perinheri, listen. So maybe the entirety of Perinheri really is Arlecchino’s story,
if not maybe shes a descendant of Perinheri in some way. 2nd is this shot of what looks to
be Fontaine, as well as this arena that looks like Remuria’s, the Narzissenkruez Orphanage,
or the House of Hearth in Fontaine. Which means Arlecchino is possibly from around that time
period. The arena where she fought Crucabena is similar to this destroyed arena within the
trailer that I think is located around here where numerous Fatui operatives, and skirmishers
are also found. But their Orphanage’s location is still unknown. So maybe this was the same place
as the animation. And could be where Freminet first saw “Princess Marcotte” or Clervie.
3rd, The previous knave named Crucabena, and a child of the hearth had a clash long ago,
and it led to the latter replacing the former. Leading to this animation here where she stomps
Crucaena. The only lead I have on Crucabena, is this character here named Ceridwen who is a welsh
goddess of rebirth, transformation & inspiration. Ceridwen was the mother of a hideous son named
Mordvan, and a beautiful daughter named Creirwy. Of which Clervie if translated to cn is Keleiwei,
and it sounds similar to Creirwy. So it's possible that Clervie is actually Crucabena’s daughter, and
Arlecchino is the “hideous” orphaned son. Clervie also possessed a lumidoce bell necklace, while
Crucabena highlights pruning a lumidoce flower instead of letting the entire plant which could
hint their familial ties. And probably speaking of Clervie’s death being dealt with, instead of
letting the rest of the Hearth fall. Which did happen, Arlecchino killed Crucabbena & replaced
her as the “Knave”, as a curse to bear. As for why she is looking for princes Marcotte we don't
know yet, apart from her relation as very close childhood friends. But her childhood friend is
the reason for her curse to fully flare up in the short animation teaser. So maybe Arlecchino
wants to see Clrevie so she can embrace her curse fully. And this has something to do with the
emotional load that Arlecchino can manage to hold which is why its related to Freminet. The
Idea of Kings, Mothers, and Fathers I think goes deeper than just a replacement for a Harbinger.
Technically Peruere should be the “King '' as mentioned by Crucabena, yet wants Lyney to be
the “New King ''. Crucabena also highlights the one true King which is the same king in her
Fairytale book. This reminds me of the loneliness sickness that was in Freminet’s event. We know
Freminet has been sealing up his emotions, so maye whenever he feels certain emotions he ends up
seeing his friends. And that his way of following orders and doing things is a wall thats keeping
him from his final metamorphosis. Arlecchino from the short seems to also be sealing away emotions.
Her curse flares up when her pet spider died, and Freminet once went to the deep sea to release
his emotions where no one could hear them. As well as Freminet’s own Imaginary World that he one
day wishes to enter. So do Crucabena & Arlecchino suffer from the same illness? Arlecchino’s curse
seems to stem from the same emotional curse. So maybe sealing away and releasing them this is
part of her curse. And releasing those emotions will lead to their true form. Which is what I can
only assume as a butterfly instead of a spider, since butterflies undergo metamorphosis. The music
also hints at freedom, wings, and fate. Arlecchino in the trailer starts with the wings of a bird
longing to be free. Then turning into a spider, but to Arlecchino, shes a butterfly. I
could insert a relation to Mordvan the son of Ceridwen being hedious regardless of
what he does here but thats enough theory. Moving on, Petrichor is a seemingly peaceful
town known for its waterfalls and exceedingly pure waters. As to how that is, its still unknown,
but its located in the Nostoi Region of Fontaine, and holds secrets of the once magnificent nation
of Remuria beneath a Sea of Bygone Eras. Petrichor means “Golem” in the ancient language, and is
within the vicinity of stone statues that are said to be related to the loyal Army of Remuria, the
Golden Troupe. Remuria was once a glorious kingdom that preceded the Hydro Archon, Egeria’s rule of
Fontaine. This kingdom was created roughly after the fall of Gurabad by the God-King, Remus. This
also happened after the imprisonment of Egeria for creating the human-oceanids that dwelled in
Fontaine. Arriving on the land of Meropis and teaching humanity some basic living skills, and
more importantly music and the arts. Now, music is basically the cornerstone and essence of this
kingdom, which you can see from every aspect of their sunken eternal city. Every part of this
kingdom was made with “harmony & symphonies”, and was ensured to “harmonize” with the rest of
the kingdom of King Remus and his ideals. Even so far as bestowing his power to a select
few individuals and calling them Harmosts, making them his trusted generals. From the golden
instruments that can only be found within the Golden Palace of King Remus, to the Capitolium
with its overflowing melody and aromas from their musicians, or the Machimos which is a famous
city of warriors, all the way to the kingdom’s fairways that helped spread the “Grand Symphony”
of Fontaine “Sumphonia Capitolii”. It was King Remus’ dream that brought him to creating this
symphonious land, but it was also that same dream that drove him insane. Sadly this kingdom fell to
a prophecy similar to that of Fontaine’s. As well as King Remus going mad because of the prophecy
told by his seers. To avoid this fate or Fortuna that was bound to happen, he mixed the Primordial
Water that was under his control at the time. with an Immortal Stone, creating this fluid called the
Golden Ichor. Which he would then use to dissolve humans and stick them into stone golems so they
could also be “immortal” beings. Such grand and regal golems of both Petrichor and Reuria at
first glance are actually the dissolved souls combined with Ichor now encased in these musical
stone shells. It is unknown if they move at their own will with their souls, or if some form of
musical magic moves them. Which could be the latter considering we can make things move using
music. Now that didn't go well because Remus was so abyss-bent on his Symphony & ideals. The local
“barbarians” which could have been just normal people, vishaps and dragons, and even the oceanids
rose up and rebelled against Remuria. Harmosts betrayed each other, the kingdom sank beneath the
sea, and all manner of life died because of King Remus’ dream. Today the kingdom is still standing
but the once proud people that lived there are no longer there. Only the remains of a faded golden
kingdom stand with golems that possess the souls of dissolved humans, as well as the instruments,
and contraptions that King Remus & his musicians used to play his Symphony with. But when
the tune of the kingdom plays once more, the “Golden Troupe” will be given the reward
for their steadfast loyalty to the kingdom. Hermanubis was a priest of the Great Red
Desert during the rule of King Deshret, also known as Al-Ahmar, or the Scarlet King if
you still remember that name. Very little is known about Hermanubis apart from being the “greatest of
sages”. And his power is still present to this day through the General Mahamatra, Cyno. But that
power came at the cost of great suffering ever since his childhood, which was made more difficult
since he is a desert dweller. He would have been made into a lab experiment by the higher-ups of
the Akademiya. Similar to Azar the previous grand sage did with humans and the Samsar. Thankfully
he was raised as a forster-son by his professor and former sage Cyrus who was also mentioned
in the trailer. Hermanuis is mentioned as a Greco-Egyptian god responsible for bringing souls
to the underworld. A syncretism or amalgamation of the Greek god Hermes & the Egyptian god
Anubis, possessing a human body and jackal head. Representing his priesthood as well as
being an investigator of truth. As of right now, it is unclear how Cyno was bestowed this
great power or curse. But from the trailer it seems it was through a revival ritual of
either Hermanubis or King Deshret himself, and Cyno became the vessel of Hermanubis’ power.
It also looks like we’ll see a dedicated temple, as well as priests of Hermanubis. Which is where
Sethos comes in, as the other chosen one for the wisdom of Hermanubis. He seems to also have
an electro vision as well, which could be a reason for also being chosen. Its interesting
too that Cyno can “return” his power. Whether that means he just gives it or he has to lose
his life for in a Ritual Duel is still unclear. Just a last quick segment for Natlan that I
already talked about in my previous video. The people from Natlan, especially their warriors,
dress to imitate their saurian companions. Dragon companions in Natlan were mentioned in the
Talking Stick, but if humans also dress to look like dragons, then maybe Natlan actually is
a “Nation of Dragons”. In the sense that humans there are actually dragons. But the character
design of Iansan in the traveil teaser is more of an example of humans mimicking dragons. The
character Ranjit, seems like the few or the only character that was able to return from Natlan.
The new artifact set Unfinished Reverie looks a lot like Mayan and Aztec inspirations.
Quetzal bird feathers found throughout Mesoamerica symbolisms. The Mayan and Aztec
Calendars’ sun rays, and headpieces. That and the Vibro Crystal Event often gives lore on later
patches too, so we can hope for ore Natlan lore And there we go everything from the 4.6 special
program that I could give lore and theory for. As of right now editing this video, I'm currently
watching the short animation for Alrecchino and it is absolutely crazy. I’ll be making a dedicated
video on that and will be added on the endscreen once Im done here, so I’ll see you guys in the
next video yeah? Like comment if you enjoyed, subscribe and hit the ell for more
ramblings and stay mad theorists. BYE!
