What's Going On In Mondstadt? [Genshin Impact Lore and Theory]

one such active storytelling is strange compared to the other nations where instead of introducing a concept and explaining it extensively as a pivotal focus of world quests monsat's lore is Introduction of characters and Concepts that bleed into the end game in just linger for a very long time mansa's arkan Quest is a character-driven tale but doesn't really focus on the aspect of the World building of the city because it doesn't want to bombard the player with too much information but it purposefully leaves so many things only hinted at instead of being directly explained and this is a strangely consistent pattern almost all threads of mansat's story are leading up to the questionable end game which can make the city of Freedom both mysterious and strangely underdeveloped from an active storytelling point of view while other nations get their share of exposition delivered by other characters monstat gets vague introductions that only ask more questions and plant bigger seeds of doubt it's a fascinating execution of ideas that constitute monster identity monster is one of the only Nations that currently as of 3.7 have not yet received a permanent location update on the map ever since 1.2 just the threat of golden apple archipelagos that come and go with its own cloud of mystery and that's what I love about Monistat it's cooking and in this video I want to open the many major plot threads that have been referenced to but haven't completely been explained explored or concluded yet disclaimer this video is just speculation and nothing here is indicative of the final product but I also do want to mention that the point of this video is to show you how many work in progress storylines mansat has in comparison to the other nations who had their fair share of conclusions to tie their major story beats into neat bows but the stranger thing about monstat is the fact that it's the first nation it has the least on-screen development from a World building perspective outside of the more Festive Celebrations it's not a bad thing by the way don't misconstrue that sentiment as me disliking monstat's writing it's just at the nation has a unique delivery of its World building as opposed to the others which I find very fascinating ponsad has yet to have its martosis level lore drop about Alice for its massive lingering World quest that continues on about the past so let's begin this video with the history of the hexen circle now we're going to open this with a topic that was introduced in 3.5 and hinted in Lisa and Mona's character voice lines the hexen circle is a strange group of powerful people that weren't properly name dropped until after the Tea Party cutscene and while we got the dialogue that talks about a vague aspect of each of its members the cutscene is less so explanatory as it is introductory it's a group shouted in mystery so much so that the fun and colorful Vibes of the cutscene don't actually do the deeper lore implications Justice For example the heckton circle has Alice or Cleo's mother and Ryan daughter as their well-established faces Alice of which is one of the if not the most powerful artificer and Sorceress in the entirety of monsant if not the the whole of tabat while her jovial nature Blends well with the aesthetic of the cutscene there are some Minor Details that are left purposefully vague or deceivingly light-hearted Ryan daughter's story for example is introduced with a lighthearted manner of her becoming a mother with introduction of Albedo being her child not really talking about this scarier lore that she was one of the main suspects that began the cataclysm of conria and also feeding her failed prototypes to the dragon that eventually created subject two barboloth is Mona's teacher that we hear her complaining all about and ander's daughter is the author of the boar princess a book that has a lot of questionable references to the series and Barbados lastly Nicole was theorized by the traveler to be the voice at the end of 3.3 because she was a guide towards the truth of the world when a change occurs there's so much mystery shrouding the members of the hexen circle but some of them even bleeding into the questions of whether or not their ascenders or descenders so I'm really excited to see how genshin develops these witches considering they used to have a quarrel with Beatles until he said that they should come to peace while the cutscene makes it seem like they had a pretty cordial conversation you do need to consider the implications that the god of monstat just had an agreement with powerful people in devot to maintain the Peace of the nation makes you think huh the story of the primordial human project if you didn't play gentian impact in 2.3 you would miss the fascinating confirmation of Albedo's inhumanity 2.3 opens us to the lingering lore of Albedo's past and Ryan daughter's existence prior to the cataclysm it introduced us to a new NPC known as subject II or unofficially adopt as the primordial Albedo subject to was a failed prototype of Ryan daughters project to create life from the inorganic and he was the result of the primordial human project however due to unfortunate circumstances he was unable to meet Ryan daughter's expectations and was cast aside into the belly of the Dragon however many years after that incident whether it was because of durian's black blood or the strange energies of dragon spine primordial Albedo eventually turned however when he returned from Dragon spine he saw that the real Albedo was able to enjoy The Human Experience despite his origin jealous of this development he created a meticulous plan to create another fake Albedo to draw out the real one thinking that if Albedo took out the fake third Albedo then he would have his guard down in which subject 2 would kill the real Albedo in her place of entirely when he least expected take his name clothing sword friends and identity the stranger thing about the story Quest was that the ending of subject two's fate is unknown and up to theories in the event we see that Joel a boy who was previously in the foot of dragon spine waiting for his father to return eventually becomes reunited with him but his father mysteriously has Amnesia and is unable to recall events in the past coincidentally prior to those events jobel was attacked by the fake Albedo that subject to created so the theory goes that subject 2 is still out there but he posed as joba's father to experience becoming a human or he didn't and his story is still brewing in the background to be something even more nefarious knows really probably not Toyo verse because we're moving on to 4.0 and we've yet to see a single line of dialogue ever returning to this but hopefully we got more about this when we eventually meet Ryan daughter right but I do want to see what subject two is up to ah ganshin's love for the vague and unknown estheroth is an enigmatic presence in the lore of Kenshin as she continues to appear as a focal point in the salvation of devot the reason she's on this list is because it's the Rod's second connection and her first in the entirety of the lore when she was still known as the god of time was in the Thousand winds Temple and the sacrificial series she used the Korum onset alongside venti hence the quote about the wind in the seeds of time venti is also known in his character stories as a thread of a thousand wins a moniker that connects well with istarat's or notation of being the Thousand wins itself according to the people of encanemia but the stranger thing about it is her sudden disappearance something that lore theorists have actually debated over for years some speculated that she disappeared far before that which explains why she has a lost history some speculate though that she is still alive and well but just delegated the ruling of monster divanti instead regardless is the rat's connection to both monstatin and nazuma and her power over time make her a formidable character in the lore varka and Expedition one of the more active story lines that's happening completely off screen is the expedition that senior members of the Knights of favonias are currently undergoing there is a reason that Jane is known as the acting Grandmaster and that's because the current Grandmaster is away on an expedition far away from monstadt Furthermore Sheamus pack left with him according to Barbara and what makes us more Curious is that Sheamus is from the church of evonius not necessarily a knight and is one of the more important political figures as he's a cardinal of course according to Godwin Barca left and took 80 percent of the knights with him where the actual Expedition is taking place though is unknown our why the Expedition is occurring but we know that leeway Harbor was one of the places that were visited by them and honestly we also see the consequences of this Expedition on the remaining members of the Knights of evonius the Cavalry for example are mostly with varka with the prime exception of Kaya and it was during the batui's slow threats on monstat alongside Devon's Terror that the nation's lack of Manpower really showed the look also says that while he understands a grand Masters position he can't make sense of his actions jinhosa says that at some point Minka was on the front line of the Expedition team it's also through Mika's character story that we learned more about what actually happens with Expedition they enter various dangerous and restricted areas some of which have unnameable wandering creatures that could become a nightmare for any night unfortunate enough to stray away so while it was never directly referenced this Expedition could be varca's repetition of a previous Grand Masters expedition to the abyss 500 years ago arundelin lost them at the previous Knights of avonius traveled to conoria during the catechism and I wonder what their true purpose is for trying to redo that expedition 500 years ago if that really is the motivation Fenty character story quest part two venti's character story Quest Part 2 is one of the most awaited pieces of potential lore drops in the entirety of gentian not only because it's venti a narcon at least and an associate of one of the shades known as isroth at most but also because he is the only currently released archon to have no characters to request part 2. despite being a present spectator-like character in three events prior and being the first ever limited 5 star of genshin impact 20th characterization as the trickster contradicts his good-hearted nature towards a traveler so it's no wonder that people are curious what he could possibly know about the cataclysm and everything from 500 years ago though because I don't personally have any theories on what his story Quest Part 2 could be about feel free to comment your thoughts and answers to this question if venti had a story Quest Part 2 What ancient monster topic would you like him to discuss the inverted statue I was tempted to remove this one but I realized that if I wanted to talk about it at all I feel like this is the time may I remind you that we never got confirmation that the inverted statue was ever removed from the ruins the traveler references it in the arkan Quest Kyra bear but there is no direct confirmation that the inverted statue of venti was ever dealt with it's very much possible that the feed the black just means that the traveler left and that's kind of spooky considering that this is supposed to be an important component to the disorders plan of creating a mechanized version of asayo kind of like what the Torah did for Scaramouche I hope that someone took it down off screen though I hope Danes leave had half a mind to dismantle that thing Dorman Port now if we're talking about potential permanent locations added to mons that Dorman Port is a name that you've probably been hearing about it's a port that the Scribe to be too far from the nameless Island to try reaching the place by boat and it's home to several trading routes that require constant reconnaissance by yulum because it's a good distance away from the main city Dorman Port is where massive shipments come and go which would explain another great sector of mansat's economy up until now there's a question of how mansat manages to have their import and exports considering we don't know much about their economy since their wine industry it's good to see that we're getting more information since Dorman Port is where they apparently get their goods from leeway Harbor recently a trading route has opened between Dorman port and Port ormos which relies on the export of fruit but because of the journey that the cargo has taken the quality has been questionable the Court also has many Merchant Caravan routes that travel between the port itself and the city during festivals which is why they need to up security to make up for the increase in traffic it's a location that's been mentioned multiple times despite not being on the map so it's only a matter of time until monstad expands towards the North and hopefully we see the port but that's it for me today a retrospective look into the neat story beats of monstat but I do think that we should put more of a focus on the newer region since fonts outside of being a background nation in the grand scheme of the story is perfectly fine the reason that Monster's story feels kind of underdeveloped compared to other nations is because we need to respect that it was the first ever Nation hence our introduction to the world of savant we can't exactly just dump all of the heavy topics like Urban cell or Forbidden Knowledge or Celestia on one Exposition onto the traveler so I respect mansat's execution of doing it slowly but surely but still introducing enough topics that make the city of Freedom mysterious but that's all I'm gonna go back to playing genjin soon because my break is finally over and here's a few announcements May was kind of my break where I slowed down myself but
