// archon quest spoilers, please read with caution.
What we already know
・Kaeya and Dainsleif are from Khaenri'ah (and Albedo but i'll get to them later)
・Kaeya can understand and communicate in hilichurlian
・Dain can also understand hilichurlian
・Past Residents were turned into Hilichurls/Abyss Order
What we don't know
・ Can Dain communicate in Hilichurlian?
・ Who Dain (actually) is
・ Who Kaeya (actually) is
Suspicious?
Kaeya's ULT is the exact same as when CRYO abyss mages summon a shield.
Also, is Kaeya's vision fake? All vision bearers in Mondstadt have 3 winged visions while Kaeya's is the only vision to have 2 wings. Definitely something to look into.
What's interesting about this is while Cryo Abyss Mages and Kaeya both harness cryo, is that they both have the ability to teleport.
Kaeya always has wind of what the Abyss Order is planning.
Where could he be getting that information?
*from the source*
For Dain, we already know has an unknown vision, or no vision at all.
Which is not similar to a hydro abyss mage, but rather an abyss HERALD.
Which so far we have only met a hydro.
Which suspiciously, they both have blue/purple power.
They both use the same colour schemes (same with Kaeya)
We already found that Heralds and Dain have been fighting for a while, it could just be a childish war. But there's definitely something more.
As well as, Dain was a past companion of *traveler's sibling* which meant he'd (as he said) had been around for a while. He harnesses a lot of knowledge like Mr. Zhongli. What is unknown about this is how long the AO have been around.
Dain kept giving us one liners, he kept saying short misleading stuff. Ideally to keep most of him secret.
Once *traveler's sibling* came to /retrieve/ Dain, they found that traveler had been working with Dain. And we find out thanks to the twin that Dain isn't as he seems
What the twin failed to warn us of was *What* Dain is.
He clearly isn't a vision holder, meaning he's either a being from another world OR he's an entity.
Going back to Albedo and history with Gold the Alchemist.
Albedo draws hilichurls often. It's hinted that he also speaks hilicurlian
This could be, that he knows the hilichurls as when they were citizens.
We already know that Albedo isn't fully human, (hence his Kreideprinz title, literally translating to Chalk Prince because he's made of Chalk from an experiment iirc)
What we can assess from this, as Albedo is from Khaenri'ah too, is that Albedo may also be part of the ao.
He's planned destruction on mondstadt and he has reason.
He is, yes, afflicted with the knights. However that could be a facade. We don't have enough evidence to prove it
As i mentioned about Gold, we know that Gold was a master Alchemist which turned himself into Durin.
Dragonspine is a dragon's remains, which i have a feeling may be Durin's considering Durin (aka gold) was from Khaenri'ah. Which is why Albedo is so close to Dragonspine as it's his Teacher's remains. Quite sad when you think about it.
I would assume Durin died when Khaenri'ah fell.
While Albedo is at Dragonspine, he analyzes the hilichurls there which we recently found was past residents of Khaenri'ah.
The big question i have is, how did the residents turn to hilichurls while Albedo, Dain, Kaeya and the star twins still stay human.
Due to Albedo not being human (thanks to Gold)
We know he most likely cannot die. This isn't for certain, but he hasn't died again so it most likely means he's immortal. Or at least for now. Or that he is extremely close to death, like qiqi when she recieved her vision.
(Dragonspine also preserves him as it is so cold)
My thoughts are that the 3 are plotting against Mondstadt, however it sounds like Acting Grand Master Jean and the Grand Master were aware they are from Khaenri'ah, if it is actually true that they are ao.
It's also interesting how they all wear a piece of blue while that's probably coincidental, albedo's eyes represent an alchemy table. Kaeya represents a cryo abyss mage with the shapes on his shirt and his fluffy shawl.
Dain and Abyss Herald both have a cape that represents the galaxy and unknown as well as the blue/purple mist.
Kaeya's burst sequence also has circling ice shards which heal him about 10% of his original hp and deal 25% atk damage.
Which "coincidentally" has the same properties as a Cryo Abyss Mage when it summons it's shield which they both can only do once the energy recharge bar is full.
If it is that Khaenri'ah is just the Abyss Order, Where do the travelers come in?
They're comparable to hilichurls and primo geovishaps considering they both can manipulate chosen elements by choice but they take an appearance of an average human which is different from those. So, what are the travelers?
While Rex Lapis, Barbatos and the 5 other archons can use their element without a vision, like the travelers. They cannot change element. Whether this is physical or mental, we don't know.
What we know: (pt.2 after the 4th chapter)
・ Dain went /back/ to the abyss order with their weapon and what they needed
・ Kaeya and Dain have more than likely met, or acknowledged eachother's existance.
・ Dain is a part of the Abyss order
What we don't know:
・ What Dain is planning
・ Whether Albedo, Dain and Kaeya are teaming
・ What Albedo could be compared to
We hear from Dain and Boreas that the first field tiller shot the missiles which made the people fear that it was the end of the world or whatever,, so,, what if it wasn't the field tiller, what if it were people falling from Khaenri'ah. Falling to Teyvat.
Questions:
VENTI HAS A FAKE VISION, (obviously) COULD KAEYA HAVE BOUGHT A FAKE VISION FROM THE SAME MANUFACTORER?
DOES VENTI KNOW ABOUT KAEYA, DAIN AND ALBEDO?
Albedo has a voice line where he asks if he can trust the traveler to protect mondstadt if he loses control. Is this foreshadowing towards a large scale attack with the abyss order?
As previously mentioned, he is from Khaenri'ah which was an archonless nation and was destroyed during the archon war, which could be that he holds a grudge against Barbatos. It would be no surprise considering Barbatos, Morax, Guizhong etc were parts of the war yet made no attempt at saving the residents of Khaenri'ah. As like Dain dislikes the archons, so may Albedo.
Please let me know if you have any thoughts about this.
