The latest Archon quest in Genshin Impact, titled ‘A Space and Time for You,’ has unveiled an intriguing twist regarding Khaenri’ah. This quest revealed that Khaenri’ah has seen a revival, which raises various questions about how this ancient civilization was brought back into the spotlight of Teyvat. Let’s dive into the storyline and unravel the mystery behind Khaenri’ah’s revival.
For those who might be unfamiliar with Khaenri’ah, it was an ancient civilization in Teyvat that existed 500 years before the events we play through today. The people of Khaenri’ah were advanced in technology and notably did not worship the gods. The sibling of the Traveler, who is referred to as the ‘Savior’ or the ‘Prince’/‘Princess’ based on the selected character’s gender, awakened in Khaenri’ah without memories but soon regarded it as a second home.
- Khaenri’ah was a highly technologically advanced civilization that relied on knowledge over divine worship.
- Traveler’s sibling was embraced as a savior in Khaenri’ah, which became central to their identity.
- The King of Khaenri’ah sought forbidden knowledge from the Abyss to push their technological limits, leading to catastrophe during the Cataclysm.
- After a creature known as ‘Gold,’ created by an alchemist from Khaenri’ah, invaded Teyvat, Celestia retaliated, resulting in the total destruction of Khaenri’ah.
- Pure-blooded Khaenri’ahns were condemned to immortality, while others were transformed into monsters.
- The Abyss Order, emerging from this destruction, is led by the Traveler’s sibling, aiming to destroy the gods and resurrect Khaenri’ah.
- Dainsleif, a legendary figure from Khaenri’ah, strives to prevent the Abyss Order’s plans from coming to fruition.
With that foundation laid, let’s explore how Khaenri’ah’s revival unfolds in the quest.
Khaenri’ah’s Revival in Genshin Impact Explained
As the quest progresses, we witness the Abyss Order launching an attack on Natlan. The Traveler teams up with Dainsleif to investigate these events, culminating in a confrontation with Haden, a sword master from the past. Haden unveils that the chaos is merely a diversion to allow the Traveler’s sibling an unobstructed path into the Night Kingdom.
The grand scheme aims to regenerate Khaenri’ah using the assistance of the Lord of the Night and the Loom of Fate. The sibling’s objective is to reconstruct Khaenri’ah’s Ley Lines without the constraints of heavenly rules. Although some Ley Lines were created per the sibling’s vision, the revival of Khaenri’ah requires more steps.
Memories of Khaenri’ah
To fully restore Khaenri’ah, the first necessity is its lost memories. Ley Lines are essentially repositories of memories; without them, Khaenri’ah cannot truly be revived. However, the curse of immortality has ravaged the souls and memories of its people. To counter this, the Abyss Order decided to induce meditation in Abyss Mages, allowing them to regain fragments of their past to contribute to the Ley Lines.
However, even this wouldn’t suffice for a true revival. The Abyss Order ingeniously deceives Dainsleif, whose memories remain intact, into reminiscing about Khaenri’ah. Haden capitalizes on this opportunity, feeding Dainsleif’s memories into the Ley Lines.
Finding Space for Khaenri’ahn Ley Lines
Once the memories are integrated into the Ley Lines, the next challenge is to find a physical location for Khaenri’ah. The Abyss Order, recognizing the constraints, proposes to establish Khaenri’ah in Natlan within a different space-time as a temporary measure. This strategic placement allows Khaenri’ah to coexist beside Natlan’s Night Kingdom without conflict, as the Loom of Fate writes the memories into the new Ley Lines.
Nevertheless, it’s important to acknowledge that for Khaenri’ah to fully revive, a stable existence in Teyvat is crucial. The sibling’s decision to confront the Traveler reflects this necessity, highlighting the remaining challenges ahead.
Is Khaenri’ah Fully Revived in Genshin Impact?
As it stands, Khaenri’ah has not completely revived. Although some Ley Lines have been established, additional memories must be integrated, and a proper space must be designated for its full revival in Teyvat. Until the curse of immortality is lifted, the citizens of Khaenri’ah will continue to suffer. This curse may only be broken with the downfall of Celestia and its Heavenly Principles, likely aligning with the true intentions of the Traveler’s sibling and the Abyss Order.
