**VIDEO NOTES** - *Amendment:* I failed to mention it in this video, but the founders of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor were also responsible for helping cleanse the lands of plague alongside the Yaksha. I should have at least name-dropped them there, but I didn't because whenever WFP comes up I go on very long theoretical tangents. We'll talk about WFP in another vid, promise. Same for the Exorcists of Liyue. (truthfully, while we do have Hu Tao and her whole quest to go on, I still don't feel like I know enough about the plagues that time OR the Exorcists.) - *Correction:* I was unaware of this prior to releasing the video, but some of you in the comments pointed out that there's a translation error in regards to Azhdaha's discovery. I placed him at around 2,600 years ago, but some of you said that in CN he should have been found closer to 3,700 years ago. I CANNOT FIND A SOURCE FOR THIS so if you have one, please @ me.

But a good few months ago I kinda made a big stink in a comment of one of your live stream vods about your view on Thoma and I just wanted to apologize for that. My behavior was unacceptable and , not to try and defend it but just as a point of explanation, I have issues with anger that have been getting steadily worse alongside my trying to cope with other issues and sometimes I let it get the better of me. Tryi8ng to work on it. But anyway , again I'm sorry for acting like a jerk and just want to say I genuinely do really enjoy your content.

I know it’s a bit reductive since this video is about all of Liyueto, but Morax threatens to be one of my favourite characters in fiction. I’d gladly watch a movie about him going from young “meat-head” Morax to the wise lead adepti we know as Zhongli. There’s a real character arc there, and even a dark side as well.

I think that the Archon Quest of Liyue doubles as both our introduction to Liyue as well as a Memorial to Guizhong. My headcanon is that after the dust settled and the people of Liyue came to Mourn Rex Lapis's "Death" Zhongli attended the Rite of Parting to Mourn Guizhong, he used his alter Ego as Funeral Advisor and Director to arrange the Rite such that it would seem like a one dedicated to Rex Lapis, but in reality, he meant it to be for Guizhong.

There's a teaser about Guizhong, Cloud Retainer and Madame Ping relationship. It shows their youthful human form and how to interact with one another. To which Guizhong was to Zhongli like what Makoto was to Ei. Zhongli was the warrior who do all the fighting while Guizhong was like the brain of the operation with all the tactics, which was exactly how Makoto was to Ei. And not too much surprise, both Makoto (Ei's older sister) and Guizhong died cause they ventured into battle with the very little strength they had, both Zhongli and Ei failed to protect their tactical partner and was both immensely personality changed by that same failure

Ah Liyue... history so fragmented that it was referenced in Zhongli's first story quest. How erosion and people often warp the records of history. Kinda surprised you don't reference the fact that the Hu clan/Wungsheng Funeral Parlour were the ones responsible for quelling the plagues while the Yaksha dealt with the dead gods and curses. I think its note worthy because Zhongli chose to work for them most likely because of their history, capability of working with the supernatural and their sense of boundaries. But I understand that its diving into the more comprehensive/specific side of history rather than general history. Just thought there was a lack of acknowledgement on the human contributions on the history of Liyue like the Exorcists and the Millileth.

at the start when u assumed that the old liyue harbour was most likely at the current harbour's location. i think there's also reason to speculate that old liyue harbour could have been further inland. in the liyue section of the teyvat travel guides, Alice had speculated that jueyun karst was initially submerged underwater (suggesting that zhongli had raised the earth in some form). Zhongli, who was accompanying her as a guide through jueyun karst, didn't confirm or deny this speculation but alice's recounting of the event suggests he was at least amused by Alice's statement. just something to think about :) I love ur videos!! thank you for all the great lore content

Lisha is such a strange region, but part of why I put in the assumption about "Old" Liyue Harbor is because the Guili Assembly specifically says it stretched from Mt. Tianheng to Stone gate. If they wanted to include the Lisha area, they would have said like, from the CHASM to stone gate. And if that was Morax's old settlement, then why abandon it later? Seems weird. Not impossible by any means, but it does feel weird and wouldn't explain why the original followers of Morax went to sea so often.

awesome video! i’d like to point out that adeptus is a title given to one that has made a contract to protect Liyue, with Rex Lapis. It isn’t a category of beings, like illuminated beasts or dragons. Ganyu is half human, half qilin, but she is still an adeptus since she made a contract with Rex Lapis. I believe her “adeptal lineage” talked about in her story quest is a mistranslation, and references more her illuminated beast side. This is similar to how Yanfei’s father is an adeptus, but Yanfei is not, since she hasn’t made a deal with Rex Lapis, but she’s still half-illuminated beast. And through her work as a lawyer, she’s considered an “honorary adeptus” to some. Qiqi uses adeptal arts, techniques used by illuminated beasts and adepti, but she is not considered one herself. It’s a little bit confusing, but I thought it was worth mentioning. Morax is the “Prime of the Adepti” because he is the leader, and the Archon, the most important protector of Liyue.
@Ashikai

Yeah this is kind of the issue with the English translation. IMO, it's a lot easier to convey the concept of "adepti" than "illuminated beast" so I went with the former. Ultimately you are right, it is just a title.

Both wanted to protect their people, by their own ways but these people they had cherished eventually killed them back. I just can't fault the two gods doing those things such as creating a wind barrier or creating an underground city, they really meant good will so seeing how they ended up, I just feel sad. I think until now Decarabian is still a Tyrant King from Mondstatders while Havria had her small peace from her remaining believers but on the wrong perspective.

Memory of Dust "This is the mark of our pledge, and it is also my challenge to you." "All my wisdom is hidden within this stone dumbbell." He remembers meeting the young woman with the billowing sleeves, remembers the way she acted solemn, yet seemed joyful when she presented him this token. What a silly notion. There was no formal contract between them. They were merely two people walking the same path for their own reasons... But he remembers the scene of their first meeting anyway, when the Glaze Lilies were still in abundant bloom. He also remembers those words she spoke at the end - again, amid the Glaze Lilies. "Those little people are as small and fragile as dust." "Because they are so small, they know not when they will lose their lives to disaster or strife, and so they are afraid." "Because they are afraid, they try so hard to become more intelligent. This I understand." "So I thought that since there is such a gulf between us in strength, I should use technique and wisdom instead." "With your brawn and my brains, this city would surely become a great one." Her final smile was a lonely one, even as her form dissolved into the finest dust. "It seems that our journey together has come to an end. As for that stone dumbbell, forget about it, would you?" "This is the mark of our pledge, and it is also my challenge to you." "All my wisdom is hidden within this stone dumbbell." "If you can unlock it-" Many years passed, and he was never able to unlock that dumbbell, nor would he ever learn what might have followed that sentence. Over the years, the wild Glaze Lilies, too, dwindled till at last they were no more.

All the animal statues we see around Liyue are Adepti who asked to be turned in Statues.On top of that there were countless that fell in battle. Though only a few of the battles are mentioned.Several hundreds might even be a thousand battles that took place over the soil of Liyue.

There's a star event in 1.1 and the follow up in 1.3 in The quest" We'll be reunited" There's a stolen archon statue which might be served as the stars older. since it's stolen,it cannot control the stars,and then stars falls. But stars fell first in 1.1,and the stolen statue in 1.3 which is not in order ,i don't know why.

I like to think that Morax's stone spears that he pinned Osial with were actually more like giant hands. This might be a crazy theory but I feel like each of the Archon's bursts are tied to outerspace in some way. Raiden cuts reality around her and reveals the starry sky with each slash of Musou Isshin. Morax pulls meteors down from Outer Space through golden divine portals. Venti's Burst, while being made of wind, resembles a black hole pretty closely. I wonder if they'll continue this motif with the other Archon's bursts.

adepti is the plural noun, the singular is 'adeptus' (xiao introduces himself as adeptus xiao) and adeptus is a title held by illuminated beasts that have a contract with morax. similarly, 'yaksha' is a job title not a species (despite its rl origin as a type of nature spirit). omitting the important role of the hu family and wangsheng funeral parlour in combating the plagues during and after the war is a bit disappointing too because it's one example we have of humans being proactive rather than just being led around by the gods. I also don't 100% agree with your placement of azhdaha in the timeline but this comment is getting long enough lol. nitpicks aside, this isn't bad. fairly coherent and digestible. 👍

Valid critique on the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. You're not the only one to bring it up. Whenever they come up I fall into theory hell so I left them out. In hindsight I should have at least mentioned them... I think we'll get more information on them in an upcoming patch though. At that point it'll be neat to do a deep dive into their lore specifically and then point out when on this timeline they slot in and what their contributions were. As for Azhdaha, someone else has pointed out that there's a translation error I wasn't aware of that puts Azhdaha a lot farther back. I haven't seen the error yet myself, but I will put out a correction if it really does change things.

making a corrected version of this video, and I will make sure to include them this time. Just because they send me into a theory spiral, doesn't mean they should be excluded here.

Would there be any chance that the Lisha province may potentially be remnants of the Lunar Moon Palaces? I’m saying this because wasn’t the book (Moonlight Bamboo Forest?), which mentioned the palaces and the seelie was, sort of located in Liyue? This is just a random thought with very little possibility haha 😂 Just a throwaway thought here

The way you use tone and verbally annotate the stories of this series is everything I'm here for. Also, the way you piece and deliver information is definitely captivating. I would LOVE if you had the time to do summaries for the chapters in Honkai! (I'm not trying or wanting you to increase your workload or anything but.. none exist!) 😅 Love your work as always Ashikai, please continue to do what you do 😊

I'm not really qualified to do Honkai summaries.... mostly because I'm not really invested in the stories of the individual characters so much as I like the higher-level plot stuff. I wouldn't be able to do them much justice.

@@Ashikai That is no problem at all. I for one would just like to hear your summary of the story (incase i've missed pieces of information) so then I could ponder any crossovers between Honkai & Genshin but in all fairness.. I think you've covered them in one or two of your earlier videos. (Thank you for those btw!) 😊 & Also, thank you for your reply! 😊

It mostly like not lore related reasons. There's this conspiracy theory that the devs made lots of last minute changes that seems to contradicts lore. for example: freedom sworn sword lore is about monstastd while being Kazuha's BiS weapon, yet aesthethically it suits Jean more and was mostly likely made for her but was changed last minute when they realised Kazuha won't have his weapon released with him. It's tinfoil hat theory kind of theory but it makes so much sense when you piece things that don't seem to make sense lore wise together. I recommend watching both tenten and braxophone video on this. They delve deeper into the topics. Tenten's video title: Viral CN conspiracy theory and Braxophone's is: CN has a theory.

Amazing video !! Zhongli's evolution is quite incredible I have a question tho, do you think it would be possible for azdaha to be one of the seven dragon sovereigns the primordial one fought against, or one their heirs (like the baptismal vishaps) ? Would it be a stretch to assume that?
@Ashikai

I don't think it's a stretch. It's possible, but we know so very little about the dragon sovereigns that I'm not sure what camp I'm in.

Missing yaksha seems tied to the Chasm so maybe we'll get lore there.
