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 the Chasm that may be helpful to better understand this week’s lore:
The second skynail we see in the game is down in the Chasm, and of course, we have to cleanse it again.
Who was Celestia targeting this time? The abyss?
We talk about the theory that the empty space above ground at the Chasm is a similar shape as the bottom of Celestia, leading people to believe they were once whole. If you haven’t seen it, you can see Celestia in the sky throughout Teyvat.
In the southeastern section of the Chasm, we see the upside down city in the Nameless Ruins. Has it always been upside down? Are we upside down? Or is this a reflection of the abyss?
Volume 6 of the Records of Jueyun explains how the Chasm was formed from a falling star. You can acquire all volumes of the book collection throughout Liyue.
The Unusual Hilichurl most likely had the same fate as the other hilichurls, but what makes him so special? What business is he doing with that shnazy tie? And why does he have so many cabbages? You can find the Unusual Hilichurl in 14 different spots across Mondstadt & Liyue, all shown on the interactive map.
The skynail’s purpose seems to be protecting the world from forbidden knowledge. The Staff of the Scarlet Sands weapon says, from King Deshret’s point of view: In the original world, the barriers were torn down, and the dark poison had penetrated the earth. To heal that fragile, sad, and imperfect world, the spikes descended and pierced through the earth’s crust.
The Amethyst Crown from Flower of Paradise Lost artifact set also speaks about the skynail from the perspective of the Goddess of Flowers: But the master of the heavens, consumed by fear for the rising tide of delusion and breakthroughs, sent down the divine nails to mend the land, laying waste to the mortal realm…
There are many spots in the Chasm where you find glowing purple text. As Al mentioned, you can read the translated text over on Reddit.
