SEASON ONE
Every episode our team will work to provide you with visual and video aids to help you better understand comparisons and what we’re talking about.
Below are some resources surrounding the Abyss Order that may be helpful to better understanding this week’s lore:
In our very first Dainsleif Archon Quest, we learned about the Abyss and what they’re trying to do in Mondstadt. This occurs after the finale of Liyue, and introduces us to many new ideas of the Abyss and shows us our first Abyss Lecture. We also get some insight into what our twin is up to.
Childe has a character demo that Hoyoverse used to show off his skills before he was released. In this video Childe discusses his battle skills while also writing a letter home to his family. He says, “The future that the Tsaritsa desires, the future the people of Snezhnaya desire, it will be had.”
When the chasm was first released it came with a new Dainsleif Archon Quest. In this quest, we learn more about the curse on Khaenri’ah as well as how Abyssal portals work for transportation and what our twin is up to as the leader of the Abyss.
In Enkanomiya we learn about a time before the gods and find out Khaenri’ah also knew about this time. We meet Enjou, our favorite baddie, who is on a mission to find a book that proves there once wasn’t gods in Teyvat. It’s a deep dive into lore around the Primodial one and its four shades.
Hoyoverse released a “We Will be Reunited” story teaser that went with the original Dainsleif quest. It showed us more insights from our Abyss Twin’s perspective and what they may have gone through while we were in stasis.
Childe has a story trailer that is narrated by Dainsleif. Dains gives us an overview of Childe’s combat style while also giving us some insight into the Harbingers and Childe’s Abyssal training. This trailer makes it clear that Childe is unsure of the powers he has.
When we first enter Mondstadt we hear of the Storm Terror Crisis. We quickly learn that Dvalin, one of the four winds, was poisoned years ago in battle and that the Abyss is now trying to corrupt him while weak. The purple shard on his back represents the poison left behind from Durin.
In the official Raiden Shogun Story Teaser, we can see the friends that Ei has lost in her journey. One of the friends is said to have been overcome by Abyssal Corruption, leading to a fight between her and Ei. It is assumed she died from her injuries, and she can be seen for a moment in this video.
