168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Genshin Impact's map is already packed to the brim with combat and lore content, and it will 🐟only become more packed ﷽as miHoYo expands the game to include more nations. For as much hype as Inazuma and the other nations have earned, however, no country in Genshin Impact is more interesting or enigmatic than Celestia.
Hidden in plain sight, Celestia is a constant reminder that no matter how strong their traveler and party become, there is still an Unknown God out there who ended the traveler's career with the flick of a wrist. Who wouldn't want to see the kingdom from which that power was derived? No one can show you Celestia yet, but read on to find out all that we know about t𝓀🐻he domain of the Gods.
9 ✃ ❀ The First Thing You'll See
In between the first and second retin♓a-scorching loading screens you'll be greeted with🎶 Genshin's log-in page — a serene cloudscape with a soundtrack and lighting that change to match the time of day.
The first cutscene seems like a long time ago for Genshin's rank 45 and up players, but those who've just started their journey across Teyvat will remember that the sky-bound kingdom shown above is also where the travelers briefly encount🅰er the Unknown God before being cast to the surface world below. "Celestia" is never explicitly mentioned in this scene, but context clues from the manga and main story quests suggest that it's the name of the lofty realm from which the heroes were ejected.
8 Gateway To Honkai? ꦐ
Genshin Impact's lore already has fans' minds as intrigued as they are over-encumbered with minutia both relevant and otherwise... and that's not even the half of it. Honkai Impact, Genshin's sci-fi spiritual predecessor, is inextricably linked to the new fantasy RPG thanks to the former's convoluted multiverse-spanning plot. miHoYo states clearly that playing Honkai isn't necessary to understand Genshin, and though that may be true, knowledge of the prior game certainly helps.
The travelers' ability to fly or teleport between "worlds" before𝕴 they're stripped of their powers suggests that Honkai's spacetime bending physics are consistently applied in Genshin. Furthermore, some characters — or at least their names — are reused between the games. Wendy's counterpart is Venti, Murata's is the Lady Of Fire, and the Herscherr of the Void bears more than a passing semblance to the Unknown God, the apparent warden of Celestia. Does the floating Island of the Gods represent a watch꧂tower or toll booth from which Teyvat's rulers surveil those entering and exiting their universe?
7 S𒈔ky-Blue Facade
During🍸 the Unreconciled Stars event from patch 1.1, in which a salvo of meteors rained down on Teyvat and cursed a number of citizens who fell into a deep sleep, Scaramouche and Mona discuss thꦰe "false sky" hypothesis.
Details are scant, but it's implied that Teyvat's most enlightened and magically inclineඣd denizens suspect that the very cosmos from which the meteors fell might be a complex illusion or construct a la "The Truman Show." Are the gods who call🌳 Celestia home in on the trick?
6 ✱ Adrift At🐬 Sea
From most locales and at most times of day, as long as the weather doesn't obstruct the view, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Celestia can be seen without having to hack Genshin's camera or glitch your way out of bounds — simply look up and to the west from just about anywhere and voila. The question🐟 now is, why isn't its 😼location fixed?
In ancient Teyvat, when Dragonspine was inhabited and known as Vindagnyr, it's said that Celestia was anchored just above its summit. It's unknown if this was the origin🌠al location of Celestia, or if Vindagnyr was an analog for Mount Olympus in Greek mythology, but for a short time the mountain was fertile and cultivated by its people. Eventually, disaster befell Vindagnyr, the Skyfrost Nail broke apart, the mountain was encased by glaciers and civilization collapsed. Celestia was relocated shortly thereafter. Did the gods raze the Kingdom of Vindagnyr, or had the🐬y been trying to stave off such calamity?
5 Home Of The Gods... Sometimes 💝
The term "god" is applied generously to characters in Genshin Impact an꧂d that makes it difficult to parse who is from where and which powers they have. From top to bottom, it's known that the gods in Celestia are preeminent, and beneath them are The Seven or The Archons — the terresꦍtrial gods who command Teyvat's elements.
There are seven thrones within Celestia for the seven Archons, and yet the Archons don't seem to be able to travel there. Archons ꦕalso aren't the only gods in Teyvat, as players can read about the late goddesses of dust and salt, or the banished gods who were defeated in the Archon War. Archons grant visions, and vision-holders can ascend to Celestia, but can the Archons?
Archons also aren't necessarily chosen by Celestia — Bওarbatos was described as an elf or elemental sprite until he overthrew Decarabian and became the new anemo Archon. This feat allowed Barbatos (aka Venti) to bestow visions to champions, such as Vennessa, but when Vennessa ascended to Celestia after having freed Mondstadt's slaves, Venti did no𝓀t. What's it take to get in the club?
4 Paimon's Expatriation 🍷
Paimon adds another layer of confusion to the deity hierarchy. The fanbase still has no idea what their (Paimon is specifically said to not have a gender) purpose is or the extent of their power. The most obvious hint at Paimon's role is the name itself, which comes from the Ars 🥃Goetia just like the names "Barbatos," "Morax," and "Baal." So is Paimon the eighth god of The Seven? The name would suggest as much, and Paimon's outfit features symbols seen on The Seven statues. Other details on their outfit also appear on the columns in Celestia, and their hairpin looks like the black holes that open when the Unknown God teleports.
Perhaps Paimon falls somewhere between U2014 outside of The Seven but with a similar name and donning ornaments resembling icons found in Celestia. Whatever the case may be one question remains: why does𒐪 Paimon conceal the nature of 🌸their mission?
3 ꦬ Star Of Guhua ♚
Very little is known about Liyue's Celestia ascendant, Guhua, aside from his name. It is known that Guhua was a formidable swordsman, with the Rainslasher as his signature weapon. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The G🤪uhua clan is a family of martial artists who seek to emulate their namesake, desp▨ite not having a fami𝔍lial connection to him.
It's also believed that Guhua's unm꧟atched skill was either due to⭕ him having been an adeptus, or lead to him being named an adeptus. Regardless, this belief only raises more questions — for example, why didn't other adepti ascend to Celestia before or after Guhua?
2 𝐆 ꦅ Invitation Only
As mentioned above, no one seems to know how one actually enters Celestia other than being "invited," for lack of a better term, by some mysterious and unknowable entity. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Muཧch m🐷ore is known about Mondstadt's ascendant, Vennessa, than about Guhua in Liyue. With that said, however, a few mo꧂re details on what allowed her to travel to the Island of the Gods would be nice.
Having ended slavery is certainly more than enough of an accomplishment to justify Vennessa's reward, but now what? Is she stuck living there forever? Xiao was instrumental in slaying demons and protecting Morax's people while♛ he fought to claim his throne, so why wasn't he ascended like Vennessa, or fellow adeptus Guhua?
1 ♕ Amoral𒁏 Or Immoral?
Since the run-in with the Unknown God was so brief, players have had no choice but to infer a great deal about her motivations. What makes that task even harder is that we don't yet know how much of an authority she represents in Celestia? Is her word final among the other god🍌s, or is she the overly brash outlier among them?
In prehistoric Teyvat, Celestia's gods communed with regular people often, but this relationship soured when human priests became more concerned with what was in Celestia. The Unknown God still appears mostly concerned with that original sin. She cast out the travelers to spite mankind for the "arrogation," but could she have executed them instead? Did the Unknown God show the player mercy, or were you simply not worth her time? And what was Celestia's role atꦆ Vindagnyr? Mass murder? Resource exhaustion? All anyone can do i🐭s wait to find out.
