ATTEMPT AT UNDERSTANDING THE BATTLE PASS CUTSCENEEEEE: “Once there was a glorious kingdom established among the heavens…” Theory 1: perhaps Celestia. “From that kingdom came a crowned heir, tasked with retrieving the genesis pearl from the kingdom of darkness.” Perhaps Asmoday, whom is implied to be the first person to find the abyss twin, saw potential in the abyss twin being similar to Phanes, and decided she would be essential with taking down the heavenly principles rule (something we now are sure Asmoday is striving towards). However, the only power able to resist a descender is that of another descender, and a descender is actually NOT defined as someone who has come from beyond teyvat, they are actually defined as someone with the will to rival fate. It is also implied that a descender is someone who cares so deeply about the planet that their very will is enough to shake the order. So, Asmoday wiped the Abyss sibling of all their memories to remove any attachment to anything but Teyvat, so that the abyss siblings love for Teyvat would triumph Celestia’s rule. The kingdom of darkness, in this case, serves as Khaenri’ah. “The first crowned heir began her journey of seeking the pearl / but she was deceived, and the memory of her noble origins faded.” The abyss siblings memory being taken from her by Asmoday, of course. The identity of the pearl is something I will explain more in theory 2 of what the glorious kingdom is, but all to know in theory one is that the pearl is the abyss, or, the dark destroyer. “She now believed that she was the queen of the kingdom of darkness.” This tracks with the abyss sibling’s love for Khaenri’ah and Teyvat triumphing their love for their original goal. However, the Abyss sibling is still technically not a descender due to still having love for their twin that triumphs Teyvat. Perhaps when we complete our journey, the abyss sibling’s attachment will finally dissipate. THEORY 2 ON THE “GLORIOUS KINGDOM”: the Siblings original home. We know from the woman we call Voyager that there was a group of people called Chroniclers whom traveled the world and documented their collapses in order to understand the inevitable — pt 1
