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 11th Harbinger, Tartaglia, aka Childe, aka Ajax, that may be helpful to better understanding this week’s lore:
In the official Childe character demo, we hear him reading a letter to his younger sister Tonia about the “trivial” matters he’s dealing with in Liyue. Chaos, burglary, attempted murder… you know, trivial things.

We talk about the Harbinger video that was released over the summer out of the blue. It gives a glimpse into the Fatui Harbingers and puts a face to all the names.

Genshin is good for bringing both history and mythology into the story. This week we discussed their reference to Ajax the Great & Teucer. Ajax the Great was a warrior in the Trojan War and Teucer was his bow-wielding half-brother. Their story is told in Homer’s Illiad, but here is a shorter read for those interested.
Is Feenster right… does the Fatui’s Pulcinella, aka The Rooster, look like Igor, the manager of the Velvet Room in Persona 5?

You’re right Feens, “He’s up to something alright.” I mean, but when is he *not* up to something?
….he tries to kill the traveler
…he tries to steal the gnosis
…he was going to obliterate Liyue
…he is a Harbinger after all
But what should we expect from the boy your mother always warned you about? Hurry, somebody warn the traveler!
