Dainsleif, Prophecy & Her (Genshin Impact Lore Theory & Speculation)

[Music] some say a few are chosen and the rest are drags but i say we humans have our humanity we will defy this world with a power from beyond now you who has set foot in this world your journey has reached its end but one final doorway remains step forth if you have understood the meaning of your journey defeat me command me to step aside show me that you are worthier than i to rescue her then the threads of all fate will be yours to re-weave my memory has all but faded completely but i will always remember how much she too loved these flowers who is dane's leaf well chances are you've heard his voice prior as it is present not only in the tavare trailer but many of the character introduction videos from the official gentian impact channel from this i would say it is right to assume that this character will be extremely significant to the plot one day but as of right now what we know of him is very limited it comes from conrier a hidden corner where the god's gaze does not fall but those who exist there dream of dreaming outside the perpetual meantime of a sheltered eternity his words not mine another poetic kanria is not under the watch of the seven centuries prior the fall of the black sun dynasty threw the kingdom into chaos its people said to have been cursed and transformed into monsters is theorized that these monsters are what we know as the abyss order the name danesleef ordain's life was the name of a legendary sword crafted by dane at dwarf in norse mythology also known as dane's legacy the sword was imbued with magic that dictates it must take a life before it once again can be stowed in other references dane is referred to as devalin and i'm sure you may have come across this name in monstadt already yes this is the true name of stormterror the dragon imbued with animo i'm not sure if any of this has significance but i feel it is interesting to point it out could danes leave have some ties to storm terror or could they just like the sound of the names there are some commonalities between the two however people of conrier seem to have a feeling of neglect as if the rest of taivat have forgotten about them this feeling is very similar to that of what divalin felt when he awoke from his cursed slumber upon awakening he felt that monsant had forgotten about him and this left him open to the corruption of the abyss order maybe the story of the violin is just a metaphor for the relationship between tevat and kanria but this is just conjecture so take that as you will it may be nothing so let's move on to some other details he has one eye that appears to be covered up while the other is left exposed within his exposed pupil is a familiar symbol that i believe has great significance to my knowledge there is only one other person that shares this unique feature furthermore there is something else that binds these two characters and that is they both hail from conrier do you know who that individual is this is your chance you are our last hope kai's father squeezed his son's lean shoulders as he spoke seemingly looking right through kaya to some place far beyond on the other side of the horizon sat there distant homeland of kanriya kaya would never forget the look of both hope and hatred in his father's eyes as he uttered those words there is part of kaya that is hidden from the world he is an agent of kanria placed in monstat to serve their interests abandoned by his father near dawn winery he found he was welcomed by monstat with open arms kaya does not have a favorable view of his homeland however he has this to say about it and on the subject of his covered up eye he just attempts to pass it up as if it's nothing what does kaya have to hide unfortunately we do not know we can only speculate however the symbol within his revealed eye is a significant one and i'll go into that more later for now i want to explore another question i have with regards to dane's leaf so the trailer is the scenario where eva is picked as our protagonist so going forward this is how we will proceed the assumption is that she who needs rescuing is looming right this is suggested by how she is present at the start of the trailer and then missing by the end however my memory has all but faded completely but i will always remember how much she too loved these flowers well this just strengthens the case look looming's got those flowers in her hair but for this to be true we have to pass off a few details first of all we know lumen isn't in a state of needing to be rescued she seems to be going about freely leading the abyss order we could argue that she is under the control of something and that is what she needs rescuing from second of all in the scenario where lumen is the main character these statements no longer make any sense eva has nothing to suggest that he loves these particular flowers so why even mention them at all thirdly somehow lumen has to have a long history with dainsley for this to hold water the lion my memory has all but faded completely suggests a great amount of time has passed since the time you spent with her this is possible but for me to explain this we may have to go off on a bit of a tangent so often that tangent we go one common theory is the idea that lumin and eva have been sent into different times and the unknown god is the god of time it is an interesting theory and i'll put a link in the description so you can go and watch it if you haven't already but i will attempt to summarize here the premise is the unknown god sends lumen to the time of the cataclysm which we assume is 500 years before afa in the present this allows lumen to have an established history in tavor allowing time for her to encounter dainsley however i do not subscribe to this theory and i will explain why when the guard encounters the siblings she consumes them into a cube and she can be seen holding one while our chosen protagonist also gets consumed this suggests imprisonment to me not sending to a different time to further back up this claim is what is written in the character story for the traveler a boy and a girl stood and missed the turmoil under unfamiliar sky you were a pair of traveling twins passing through countless worlds during your journey descending upon a continent named tavat you hoped that you would be able to enjoy your time here but as you awoke among the falling stars you saw the world in turmoil a cataclysm raging across the land there are two possibilities in the timeline that this could be either the arkhan war which is 2 000 years prior to the events of the game or the cataclysm which is 500 years prior due to the language and the specific use of the word cataclysm i think it is right to assume that it was 500 years ago when the siblings entered taylor you sought to leave this place and move on to the next world but an unknown god stood before you barring the way this deity was spotless floating over a world of chaos looking down on you the god took your only kin away and you were sealed and cast into a deep slumber filled with nightmares when you reawakened the world was changed the flames of war raged no longer and nothing was left that looked familiar the line that interests me in particular is a deep slumber filled with nightmares in the trailer we will be reunited looming witnesses destruction of what many believe to be monstat and the cataclysm that happened 500 years ago however i'm not entirely convinced that this is the case it could just be an artistic interpretation in the trailer but the possibilities lumen is not witnessing the cataclysm but instead witnessing events to come as they seem to be unrealistic like a vision or nightmare it is stated that the one responsible for the cataclysm was an alchemist known as gold who came from a far away land conrier he used his talents to create an army of shadowy monsters and it is believed that his power originates from the abyss you may have heard of a dragon known as durin recently in the dragon spine arc this dragon attacked monstat during the time of the cataclysm barbatos intervened and summoned forth divalin who emerged victorious but unfortunately fell into a great slumber due to the poison blood clots and wounds caused by the battle only to reawaken 500 years later in the present this was the nature of monsant's version of the cataclysm and i don't feel the imagery that lumen sees reflects these events so what were these events that lumens saw could they be these nightmares could it be a prophecy visions of things to come whatever she's exposed to in these nightmares is what set her on the path to engulf the seven thrones in the abyss the tangent only serves to speculate on the identity of her being looming and the possibility that lumen has history with danes leaf i do believe it is still possible lumen may have awoke from her slumber long before ether and i believe this is implied but what if lumen is a red herring there is very specific phrasing in dainsley's wording she too loves these flowers emphasis on two this could suggest a number of things but dane's leaf loves these flowers as well on the other hand he appears to be speaking directly to ether so that she too could be translated to she just like your sister loves these flowers i will draw attention to the problem with looking into the wording of english translations so if anybody is able to interpret the chinese for these lines maybe the implication that she is somebody besides lumen is dead in the water but for the sake of fun let's entertain the idea that she is not lumen but somebody else flowers are used a lot in my hoyo games and they often symbolize something in the seely animation for example flowers are present when she's trying to break out these flowers appear to resemble lilies and the meaning associated with them is often cited as purity or rebirth in the case of this animation celie's giving in to her of herself thus shattering her purity these flowers are actually quite similar to the ones in question however they lack the blue petal but could these at least be a species of lily i actually wasted a lot of time trying to work out if these flowers exist in game and it doesn't seem they do besides on newman's head of course this draws me to the conclusion that this flower is not native to any of the existing areas in the game so where are the flowers from if i were to hazard a guest i would say they're from the world that tava resides within otherwise dainsley wouldn't be familiar with them did lumen pick them upon arriving in the world i guess you could say we've hit a dead end we cannot suggest that from conrier as it is stated the siblings came to tavat and conrier is not considered part of taylor what bothers me is dane's leaf appears to have history with these flowers there is the possibility they are native to multiple locations and they are a special flower that only grows in very specific conditions so considering the predicament we find ourselves in let's entertain the idea that these flowers grow in conrier and she comes from conrier just like danes leaf as i believe this is still plausible i mentioned at the start the symbol within their eyes we've seen this symbol before in a couple of places first of all paramount has this symbol in her hair clip i wrote an entire section on her however i had to cut it it's not relevant to the point and warrants its own video so i'll just conclude that nope i don't think pyroman is our mystery girl so let's move on albedo has the shape on his neck but albedo is not a girl moving on i will just put my bias forward now i have high hopes that this character i'm about to explore is the girl dainsley speaks of i've posed this question to a few others who theorise around the game when it comes to hong kong depictions in genji do they only take the appearance or are they adopting themes from these characters in my previous video i spoke briefly about how mae attempts to hold on to her friendship and how this could align with the themes around the god of eternity let me show you an example of overlapping themes between the sustainer and the hershey of the void but when you wanted to leave and go on to the next world your path was blocked by some unknown god [Music] outlanders your journey ends here who are you the sustainer of heavenly principles the irrigation of mankind ends now [Music] [Music] me [Music] m a theme between these two characters is the idea that mankind must be suppressed and kept in check granted hongkai's version is far more extreme as it is about explicit destruction of it but the similarities do exist do you want to get this body back and save the girl you are right is she a loved friend and a member of your little family did you build sweet little memories together made any lasting promises if that's the case then i shall kill her precious family with her hands and body those of you who loved her and are trained to save her you shall drink from the chalice of pain sorrow and despair and endure the most gruesome death of this world [Music] trapped within the herschel of the void is the girl keanu kaslana a girl that is honest to a fault will openly admit to her ignorance and low intelligence however will always excel at being practical this is the pivotal idea within her character her friends battle with her in attempt to pull her from the grip that imprisons her maybe you've picked up on the point i'm making here when the sustainer appears we see the same symbol tied to conrier when our protagonist strikes her the same symbol appears once again if she is indeed tied to conrier there is a possibility for history with danes leaf if mihoyo is going with a similar theme for this character she could be somebody who is trapped within the sustainer a vessel for something more sinister step forth if you have understood the meaning of your journey defeat me command me to step aside show me that you are worthier than i to rescue her then the threads of all fate will be yours to re-weave the prophecy shows destruction and signs that it is by her hands defeating her will allow the re-weaving of fate to prevent this destruction but he doesn't say defeat he says rescue command me to step aside and rescue her he has been trying for a long time and he's asking the protagonist to prove to him that they are worthy to do the job that he has been unable to thus far so i posed the question could she be the sustainer of heavenly principles [Music] finally to wrap up this is a prophecy found tied to dain's leave quoted from a self-proclaimed prophet i will go for it line by line the confluence between past and future this suggests a river or pathway between the past and future i'm not certain of its meaning but it may pertain to the abyss where time flows differently to the outside world this is established in child's character story but i won't dwell on that line any further as it could just be for flavor the original calamity has been overturned yet the island in the sky set the earth to burn the world has recovered from the original cataclysm yet whoever resides on the throne in the sky has set things in motion to lead to the events of another calamity from this we conclude that the prophet is speaking of events to come not events that have passed chalk pursues gold in this time in opportune albedo is known as the kaidu prince which in german is the prince of chalk there is so much to say about abido that is beyond the scope of this video in short i believe there is evidence that points to gold being the nickname for albedo's master his motivation to investigate urine and the sword linked directly back to gold i believe he's already pursuing gold as it appears he's looking for his master the eclipse is swallowed by the crimson moon events we see in the we will be reunited trailer more evidence to suggest lumen is seen things to come not experiencing things that were the future must atone for bygone mistakes as the bond familiar falters and breaks the same blood elders and the youth such is the cycle of the world in truth this alludes to the collapse of tavor bounds between the nations faltering and the world falling into disarray that is known for being a world of war and destruction and this is what the cycle of the world appears to be it must atone for its mistakes many cycles consist of death and birth destruction and rebuilding and it appears tavat is no stranger to this concept i mention the flowers maybe being a type of lily their appearance buckens the trailer maybe they represent the rebirth of the cycle the trailer start is during or after the cataclysm when the siblings arrive the trailers end being the end of the story when our protagonists finally re-weave fate starting a new cycle or they could just like flowers dane what is that strand of blonde hair to you someone you must kill or the object of your penitence the hair probably represents somebody who has failed and a solution to this mistake is to kill that who the hare belongs to this killing may be optional it's hard to say the hair could belong to our damsel in distress but i don't really think there is any solid reasoning that suggests that these two lines are equatable it neither strengthens nor debunks the case i find myself questioning the sustainer's hair colour i'd say white but it has more colour to it than other characters in the game with white hair so i'm not going to argue the case that she's blonde kiana fan may get mad if i do as in honkai her hair is obviously white i do love it when things come back around it's as if i laid the seed perfectly and created a bookend for the video remember i mentioned ainsley sharing his name with a sword that must kill before he can be stowed once again this shows how his name fits his character perfectly he cannot rest until his mistake is undone the sword must take a life before it can once again be stowed and then his video probably lacked a lot of focus but i hope i did invoke some thoughts and ideas on the possibility that she is someone outside the obvious assumption as far as i'm concerned her identity could be either lumen or the sustainer but she may well be somebody we haven't even been introduced to yet not knowing is all part of the fun [Music] you
