SEASON TWO
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 what we discussed about Cloud Retainer that may be helpful to better understand this week’s lore:
The most recent lore we learned about Cloud Retainer came from this years Lantern Rite. Not only did we get to see her in a human form, but we learned more of Streetward Rambler (aka Madame Ping) and Guizhong.

The other living adepti we meet in the game are Moon Carver and Mountain Shaper (Bee’s favorite). We meet them during our first initial Liyue quests.
The Guili Assembly once ruled over Liyue before the Archon War. The assembly was established by Morax (Zhongli), Guizhong, Streetward Rambler (Madame Ping), and Cloud Retainer. But also included other gods like the God of the Stove Marchosius (Guoba).
On Mount Aocang you can still find the table where Cloud Retainer, Morax, and Guizhong would meet. There are notes to their favorite foods as well.
While Shenhe and Ganyu were technically the only disciples Cloud Retainer had (at least during this era of Teyvat), she was also very fond of Madame Ping’s disciple, Yaoyao. She even created the rabbit Yuegui that protects Yaoyao.
Tif mentioned a similarity amongst Morax, Cloud Retainer & Xiao’s eyes in her now-debunked theory. It is still a neat nuance that maybe will reveal itself to have some meaning in the future.
As we started out this episode you heard us talk about “Cloud Retainer’s Fruit Container.” This is the great little spot in our friend’s teapot that always tickles us.

Lantern Rite showed us the young version of Madame Ping that we’ve all been waiting for.
A definitely an improvement from the leaks in the past.
