What Is Nahida? (Hint: Not An Elf) - Lore Trails | Genshin Impact

  • This is a follow-up to a theory where I explored the possibility of the Elf-Like characters of Genshin Impact (which are of an unspecified race as of the release of this video) being one and the same as the evolved dragons of Natlan which Neuvillette mentions at the end of Act V of Fontaine's Archon Quest, Masquerade of the Guilty.
    Following that theory, many people asked me whether Nahida fits that description. Well, my answer is no since Buer is a character of specified origins as the Avatar of Irminsul... However, if Buer is a Tree Fairy, then what implications could this have (or not have) on other characters that resemble her?
    Thanks for watching 😊!

    Keep in mind 2 things:
    1. I know that the overwhelming majority of you guys never had an issue with what Nahida is. However, a considerable number of comments asked me to clarify this from the previous theory.
    2. This is a video to test the waters with quick and simple lore discussions where I share ideas that I have here and there about the game. It is a little on the longer side because I had to throw in a few disclaimers at the start. I aim for future ones to be considerably shorter. But if you do not like it regardless let me know.

      This for sure. One feeling I took away from this style video is uncertainty. If the goal here was to persuade people to your conclusion, then it needed to be more concise with fewer tangents. If the idea is to use the audience to start a conversation, then I think the casual stream of consciousness works just fine. I couldn't quite tell which direction you were going with this one.

    Regarding Klee and Alice. I thought that I could remember that Venti called them elves in some event, but couldn't remember where. Now I've found the exact quote and it was different that I remember: "A mother and daughter, both with long *elf ears* and the most amazingly adorable personalities." A very strange phrasing and the only possible reason for it can be that they are indeed not elves. So you are probably right.

    I thought Nahida's origin is pretty clear in Archon quest.., she's originally a twig from Irminsul which hasn't been corrupted by forbidden knowledge, saved and given form by Rukkhadevata? She even claims to devolve into single leaf/ grass if she exhausted most of her powers (? I don't remember the line, it's on 2nd chapter of her story quest)

    • @Rozherhn
      @Rozherhn 9 месяцев назад +1

      It is not so much its origin but what this implies at the level of Lore of Genshin Impact and even at the level of the entire universe today, we are talking that rukkhadevata was possibly also created and most likely it was the same fans who made her in her image.
      But this also implies that in GI the knowledge and management of the irminsul is at a level so superior to all other worlds (games), given that the irminsul is basically an imaginary tree, something that for other worlds is something little known.
      It is possible that GI is so advanced that it leaves the other worlds far behind.

      I think there's more to allogenes than originally thought. I used to think people calling Ningguang a reincarnation of Guizhong were insane and now I think there's something to it. Especially now that we know Celestia controls fate and constellations to some degree, I think that there are certain humans that are bound to allogenes of the past and this is how the Heavenly Principles wants to change fate to make themselves more powerful.

      @Uryvichk 9 месяцев назад +6

      @@F1ll1nTh3Blanks In some of Mona's astrology lines, she mentions certain characters being "a [constellation name]," in the same sense an astrologer in our world would say someone is "a Scorpio" or "a Libra." This suggests constellations are not exclusive, or at least, they're not exclusive to just one person throughout history. People who share constellations may share destinies, though they express them in different ways.
      As an example: Deshret pursued wisdom and became a leader. Alhaitham pursued wisdom (the truth about the Akedemiya's corruption) and became a leader (acting head of the Akedemiya after the corrupt ones were overthrown). Deshret became corrupted by forbidden knowledge, Alhaitham became corrupted by forbidden knowledge.
      "But wait!" you say. "Alhaitham only PRETENDED to become corrupted as a ruse. Deshret actually was corrupted!" Yeah, but remember what Focalors proved: You can fool fate, as long as you go through the APPARENT motions. Focalors PRETENDED to do nothing to stop the prophecy while ACTUALLY taking steps behind the scenes to subvert it such that it happened on her own terms. Alhaitham PRETENDED to be corrupted by forbidden knowledge, which may have been enough for fate to go "OK, sounds right, I'll check that box off your destiny."
      TL;DR: Multiple people can have the same patterns of destiny, but they only have to vaguely follow them to satisfy the fates ordained by the false stars. If you know your own destiny, you can control how it happens to your advantage.

    On Raiden, on "When Thunder Strikes" line she states she's "the most supreme and terrifying incarnation of lightning in the whole of Teyvat", which aligns with what she says in the cutscene about her being the shadow to Makoto's lightning. Anyone who knows more than I about this please correct me, but I believe what Ei and Makoto are has to do with the whole concept of the Shinto religion where everything has a soul: nature, natural phenomena, daily life objects, etc (animism). Another example in game, but a lot less powerful, is the hagoita lady from the Inazuma event (Hanyuuda Chizuru). Which goes hand in hand to your theory of Ei and Makoto being very powerful youkais, I think it's all connected. The Sumeru glider describing her as "a wooden thing made of electro" might be refering to the fact that Ei's current body is a puppet - if the puppet's body literally made of wood but reinforced by elemental power, or just a little nod to Pinocchio there, it's up to debate but both are valid, I guess :P

    Before finishing video:
    I think Nahida and Rukkhadevata manifest to look like elves because the Irminsul and Dendro are a magical tree and plant magic and fae-type creatures are often associated with magic and plants/forests, which mostly works from a design perspective but depending on how the world is it could work from an in-universe perspective as well

  • @bliblibloo8293
    @bliblibloo8293 9 месяцев назад +6

    I think a midway between the scripted videos and this would be really nice- maybe having bullet points of what you want to talk about to give it more structure. I think your enthusiasm in the scripted videos shows more and helps in making the video exciting and interesting-- plus its fun to listen to a person talking about something they love and that was missing for me here. either way, im very excited for the next video!
    about the content of the video
    nahida or elves with downturned ears being tree fairies makes sense to me, we have other types of fairies afterall-- spring fairies aka oceanids, "light" fairies aka seelies etc... its also worth noting that the cycle of life of nahida and the aranara is the same, and its suggested it is also similar to paimon which could be why she appears as a child. Perhaps this is because they all come from a "fairy" origin race.
    to challenge the idea, Rukkhadevata wasn't born into the role of the avatar of irminsul like egeria, and deshret was offered the gnosis and likely authority over the irminsul before her. This could mean that the process of becoming an avatar of irminsul is unlike becoming the heart of the primordial sea-- perhaps its alteration of your constitution? or maybe it just links your consciousness? it doesnt necessarily contradict the idea that they are tree fairies which is awesome but its something to think about. and its also so weird that deshret was offered the gnosis before rukkha, perhaps he had an innate authority over irminsul.

    Oh also, every archon so far (besides zhongli and rhukkadevata as we don’t know what their original form was) were originally the purest for, of their respective element. Nahida is the branch of irminsul, which I’m pretty sure is one form of the purest form of dendro, venti was a pure elemental being, a wind spirit, ei and makoto were lightning, egeria was literally the heart of the primordial sea, which means she was water, and the oceanids were made into humans by her using the primordial sea, and focalors was one of those humans, making her water as well.

    I think The dendro archon or may i say irminsul created by the roots or ichor of apep so the irminsul having the D.N.A of the apep and the other dragons also. Have familliar D.N.A to apep so that makes sense the 7 original archons are the seven artifical sovereigns whose created by primordial one or shades of them, the barbatos is the wind soul of istaroth egeria was the new heart of the primordial sea created by the shade of life,baal and beelzebub born with the thunder(maybe the thunder was the electro sovereigns thunder) and they have relationship with istaroth too and buer or irminsul also have a relationship with istaroth, we know that from before sun&moon book the parable of kings tree volume the priest(istaroth) grown upped new tree, egeria is the half sovereign or half draconic bc egeria created by the god of life and egeria born with the piece of the hydro sovereign or the blood of hydro sovereign(ichor) i think phanes also born with the ichor
    Legend says that when the first usurper came to the primordial sea, the first sovereign gave him a goblet of water.
    Later, he became the unquestioned god-king, and used this goblet of water to refine the mysterious drops of dew, establishing a splendid and powerful empire. The cosmic egg of phanes is the aether itself in mythology and the egg created by chronos/ananke ananke or chronos also the serpent what if the chronos or istaroth do a time travel with aether at the end and they will create the Cosmic egg so aether is the designer of all what the rene said in the wq and gnostizm the monad the real god was abandon the earth and demiurgos who was. Simillar to primordial one seperated the earth and heavens he/she played a god role

And stolen their Blood(like an ambrosia from greek mythology and there is a point amrita also means ambrosia in sanksrit the lord of amrita means lord of ambrosia(immortality in sanskrit)) and became a god who has a wings and androgynous maybe he/she was androgynous in the beginning or he/she stole that blood and he/she create his/her egg and he/she became a half draconic androgynous god @DragonMJE

    • @F1ll1nTh3Blanks

      Yes, there's also the fact that the archons have the dragons authorities. Ultimately, we still await the origins of the gods, supposedly they're beings created by the shades of matter from Celestia and or the light realm now Teyvat.
      My untrained theory is that Khemia and ancient alchemical derivatives is either the Celestial art of creation or based on it and it is not completely compatible with that which is the dragons Primordial nature. Which is why certain humans and gods alike are cursed. It's partly based on a note which talks about Khaenri'an developments and the description of the Aeonblight Drake.

    Dude dragons and elves are two different races neuvillette only says that the dragons in natlan have settled a type of coexistence not that they are half human half dragons it’s kinda like how the people of Fontaine have reached coexistence with the melusins he never mentions anything about them, living human lives as for nahida her design is heavily inspired by elf and fairy styles because of her title as the god of wisdom, and being a god of dreams, she represents basically a fairytale of kids imaginations plus she was born irminsul which was said to be a magical tree, so why wouldn’t she look like an elf? Nahida has no connections to actual dragon features just because you have some crack theory about the elves and the dragons being a similar race, which is completely wrong also just because another game Hoyoverse made has a character with the elf ears with the dragon formed does not mean that they’re going to do the same with Genshin especially since we already have a playable dragon, who doesn’t have hears remotely similar to the elves also if Klee Alice and lansan our elves, which they very obviously are that doesn’t mean that nahida wouldn’t be an elf yes, she is not a true person from that race by each are from every nation is a god of some Unique creature only from that specific land venti is a god spirit zhongli is a adeptal god ei and mokoto are Yokai nahida and ruhkkadahvata are fairy elves gods like the aranara and egeria and folcalore are oceanide gods

    Nahida and Rukh even share the same what trees do, like - if you take a branch of a tree and plant it, will it be the same tree or new one ? It will be the same tree with different fate, so "technically" it's both - same and not the same at the same time*.
    Btw, I did not get exactly when Irminsul appeared in Teyvat ? Was it there before The First Who Came rule, was it before the war with the Second Throne ? If it was "planted" by the First one, may it be then connected to Authority, Power of original Dragons ? So may Nahida's similarities then be the consequence of that connection ? Or even if it was there before the First or Second, I mean when it was the world where Dragon Lords ruled, still, may it be connected to Dragon's Authority, Powers, Constellations or whatever and that makes Avatar of Irminsul also look alike Dragon-humans (or whatever we call them....) ?
    P.S. - I like both formats, as prepared and managed videos, same walk-n-talk videos too, I'm more about the topic they cover.
    P.P.S. - Remember "The power of time accumulates slowly and goes unnoticed" ? As Apep creature said to Nahida "Power of Time" required to Shapeshift, to change to another creature and Nahida as an Archon had enough of "Power" to do that.

    Yes Nahida is the avatar of Irminsul.
    Yes Nahida is an exact copy of Rukkhadevata but with her own ego and personality.
    so rukkhadevata is also an avatar of the irminsul.
    and following the hoyoverse lore where nahida is a version of teresa, and since nahida is a copy of rukkhadevata it can be said that rukkhadevata is also a version of teressa
    and Teresa in her story was born as a clone of Karen Kaslana.
    I could conclude that rukkhadevata was created based on the same fanes to administer the irminsul independently, almost as if it were a "shadow" of it, hence its importance within the lore.

    Nice video! I don’t necessarily dislike this format, but as someone with massive ADHD it’s definitely much easier to follow scripted content. More casual formats like this typically have some backtracking, repetition, skipping around etc that can be a little hard for me to keep up with. But I love listening to you so I would definitely still watch more videos in this format!

    I personally don't mind this kind of video format,
    Also my opinion on Nahida and everyone's race:
    -The poetry gala event should be about this
    -Remember when Kirara met Diona? She said that her cat-like features came from her being a nekomata youkai, but Diona was only familiar with her Katzlein ancestry in comparison
    I really think it's reincarnation bullsht, but it's not the way people commonly think, for now

    Another thing i will mention: if your making short vids on a specific point, the wandering, rambley style makes me never want to watch it more than once. Which is to say, i watch lore discussion vids over again to review things, and it's a hassle for me to sift through 15mins of off topic to find the on topic points

    I do like this type of video. Maybe if you try to make a rough script or key points you want to talk about so it'll be easier for you to convey your thoughts will make it better.
    On the topic of Nahida though, maybe if irminsul is to be cut or destroyed in any way she will become the new irminsul? She IS literally made from a branch of irminsul so maybe? Alot of plants can be regrown from a branch or a cutting from the original plant.

    Regarding Nahida's appearance. She still could be half-tree spirit, half-dragon, as an admin of Irminsul, which might as well be made partially from the dragon sovereign power stolen from Apep.

    I really like this kind of videos! Annnd I would ask a question that maybe fo you lore experts is stupid, but through all of this video intrigued me... Isn't it comproved that Rukkadevata IS A SEELIE? The very last one of it's kind indeed... And ALSO Irminsul's avatar... How can thise two informations coexist? It just doesn't make sense to me. But at the same time... Could this be that the elve ears are the last bit of characteristic that remains on all of those characters, independently of their current origin? From Alice to Klee, to Laila and Nahida? Please if someone could elaborate I would be very grateful! ❤🙏🙏🙏

    I enjoy a more freeform flow, but a lot of rambling and disorder can get in the way of that, ngl. So, as others have said - with some slightly better organization (bullet points or whatever) and a bit more concise, it'd end up being quite nice.
    I don't enjoy the amount of repeating and chaos, but I wouldn't have you not upload these, just because I wouldn't enjoy that, especially given it doesn't get in the way of your other stuff. So even if I weren't to necessarily watch em cuz of that, I'd still see no issue with you uploading em for others who might still enjoy it despite that.

    Well we also have to think about the heart of the primordial see right? We don't know what Egeria was. But we do know the focalor was an oceanid, who was them turned fake human like all other fontainians and then turned into a god. So nahida can very well be more than just the avatar of irminsul just like focalor was more than the heart of the primordial sea ( or if neuvillette was the actual heart he was still more than just that, he was a dragon funnily enough)

    You made some really good points, but I'm not really sure that I like this video format. I don't mind it being unscripted, but I think it'd be better if you add structure to the flow of ideas. Because for some of this video, I got lost with all the things being just thrown around here and there. Still a really good video though.

    What is Klee? Klee is a child of Alice and an unknown father.
    But we do have some idea about what Alice can be. Alice was mentioned in Enkanomiya (but we can't be use it's the same person), so I think she is the tree spirit from the "Parable of the Tree". And her husband is the gardener.

    • @kotarouinugami1745

      Alternatively, the Parable of the Tree could be the origin story of elf-eared people like Alice, Klee and Layla. With each cut branch from a tree becoming a separate person.

      @@kotarouinugami1745 I think we should not look for a bird specifically in Genshin for that role, but the name - Rukh/Rukkhadevata, but even if technically she was a fairy of a tree and Malikata more fits the role of a gardener, but Amun Al-Akhmar was actually inspired by Solomon and exactly Malikata gave him a knowledge and then exactly Rukkhadevata build ring temples and infused them with divine power of life to protect world from spreading the infection of forbidden knowledge for the first time.

    i dont want to sound rude but venti taking a form of his friend means that archons can look however they choose.
    nahida is literally confirmed to be a tree branch, we even get one after finishing the archon quest. paimon also pointed out that if she starts using too much of her power she will shrink even more and return to that.
    so basically she can manipulate her looks and appearance (as shown when she turned into a fungus) but maintaining that "form" of her uses too much power so she cant lets say revert back to an adult like rukkhadevata.
    since she now believes that she is rukkhadevata, in theory she should want to look like that.
    now about the elf ears rukkha probably thought they were cute so she just chose to have them, while nahida being her carbon copy now has them too💁‍♀️
