Introduction

This is a sideblog where I brainrot about Khaenri'ah and make hcs bc I am always weak to "destroyed forgotten home" feels and an interest in Celtic/Nordic mythology

Will include:

Headcanons about the culture

Theories about what went down, lore hypotheticals, and philosophical rambles

Basically OC-ifying NPCs (please join me) + known Khaenri'ah-affiliated characters

Admittedly a lot of focus on Dainsleif because he's my blorbo

Celtic/Nordic mythology/history research, mostly for said hcs and theories

(As admin, I am not much of a shipper and would prefer most asks or add-ons to not be of such, but we'll figure it out.)

4.7 archon quest live react utc!

okay I started this a little while after starting the quest but I'm talking to atossa now

my original theory was the missing guy was dain but this dude has lived in the village for ages so it can't be LOL

and THEN i started thinking oh could this be a wanderer type situation ,,,, but who knows 🤷‍♂️

if this quest goes deep into traveller sibling stuff like that animation that dropped suggests I'm so not gonna be stable after this btw LMAO

well duh paimon of course the abyss is involved this is a dain quest didn't u pay attention 🙄 /j

DAINSLEIF HOW I HAVE MISSED YOU

God he's just as pretty as ever ,,,,,,

has his outfit gotten more detailed or am I just forgetting things 🤔

ugh I need to kiss him

it's so hard to pay attention to what he's saying when he looks like that 😪😪😪

ALSO IS IT JUST ME OR DOES HE HAVE A HUUUUUGE CROTCH BULGE 😳 not that I'm looking or anything I swear it was just so prominent

anw I support big dick dain theory

DO NAWT ASK IF WE BELIEVE OUR SIBLING BETRAYED US OMFG what do I respond what do I SAY

I'm going w I want to have faith in her 🙏 truly I think the traveller understands their sibling so intimately that they're still trying to reason out that they're in the right with whatever they're up to ,,, but it's also understandable that they might feel betrayed bc clearly their sib can contact them if they really want to and they're just choosing not to ,,, 😔 idk bro it's complicated

"there's still hope for the two of you to reconcile" 🥺🥺🥺🥺 I WANT TO RECONCILE 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

omg sinner lore cmon tell me who it is I wanna KNOWWWWW is it someone we know already or what

vedrfolnir is a Very mondstat sounding name,,,,

DAINSLEIFS OLDER BROTHER ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

WHAT . THE . FUCK .

STOP ARE WE ACTUALLY ABOUT TO GET GENUINE KHAENRIAH BACKSTORY RIGHT NOW I WILL SCREAM AND BAWL MY EYES OUT

five sinners of Khaenri’ah ooooo

RHINEDOTTIR?!?! OH MY GOD?!?!?!?!?!?! I KNOW WE KNEW SHE WAS INVOLVED BUT LIKE OH MY GOD SHE WAS INVOLVED INVOLVED???

oh my god is that why albedo looks the way he does w the blond hair and the blue eyes is it bc he's been modelled in dains brothers image ,,,,, (<- delusional theory hours)

god fuck i love abyss lore so much this is why i still play genshin man

ooooooo okay so they weren't directly involved in the cataclysm but that in itself IS the problem bc they could have helped stop it I see i see im with it 🧠

our sibling WAS travelling with dain though right ... we're not gonna get slapped with oh yeah we showed u them w dain this whole time but it was to throw u off bc its really his brother ... right ....

well surely the purpose of the loom of fate is to rework the world. like. loom. fate. kinda an obvious name if u ask me

oooo yes please be to do with the leylines I LOVE when shit is to do with the leylines

OOOOOOOO WAIT DID THE ABYSS TRY TO IMPLANT SOMEONE INTO PPLS MEMORIES USING THE LOOM AS AN EXPERIMENT PERHAPS

christ paimons yawn just fucking exploded my ears

omg dain got implanted w memories of The Guy ,,,

"and it appears he has the ability to "implant" memories into the minds of others" THATS WHAT IVE BEEN SAYING DAIN

we would work so well together bbg

omg we're gonna go look for the eye

of all places he chose the outside of the chasm?? hmm.

DAIN?!

BBG DAIN WHAT IS HAPPENING TO U

he's being fucked with isn't he .... im abt to throw HANDS w someone aren't i

this domain description is scaring me maybe i don't want the answers to be revealed bro

oh we r fully In the chasm now huh

don't get me wrong it makes sense I just also feel this was way too obvious of a location for dain to hide smth so sensitive LMFAO

WDYM THE MECHANISMS HAVE CHANGED OVER TIME

why do I feel like dains brother has like. possessed him or some shit rn. just a bad feeling I have LOL

I'M NOT COMFORTABLE HERE LADS I FEEL VERY BAD VIBES RADIATING FROM THIS ALTAR ROOM

picking aether once again a choice I will never regret

THIS IS SO INTENSE BROOO

I'm not gonna lie I thought for a split second we might be getting a taste of playable dain there ,,, of course I was too hopeful 😪

omg the disembodied voice,,, whoever is doing this put their whole va-ussy into it icl

the fact that we're not just. back in the world map rn. and this is a "special story mode" map. is scaring me a little icl

everyone remembers him now and he's not gone missing ??? and he was WITH SOMEONE??? bro what is HAPPENING RN

genshin don't make me piece this together by myself u KNOW my theories are full of shit

we're in someone else's memory was right omg okay maybe I'm not full of shit after all

I'M BAWLING HE JUST WANTED A NORMAL LIFE

sobbing and screaming "even the form you see before you is nothing short of an illusion [...] an imagined version of what I would look like if I had had the chance to grow up" IM NOT WELL RN

I'm omw to hyv hq to make caribert exist in teyvat fr I can't handle this shit

CARIBERT DID YOU FUCKING SIDELINE US SO DAIN COULD BE AMBUSHED BY LUMINE????

"I'd love to hug you too" IM NOT OKAY RN I CANT DO THIS

oooo okay so our sibling wants to use the loom against celestia that tracks but like. how?

o shit she's so right u would think the whole furina focalors thing would have angered celestia but they're just. quiet.

STOPPPPP OUR NAMES BEING PERSONALISED IS A CANON THING BC OUR SIBLINGS THE ONLY ONE WHO CALLS US BY OUR REAL NAME WHAT IF I KMS

"for some reason I'm not interested in asking questions rn" IDC DUDE IM INTERESTED TELL MEEEE /j

"why can't we continue our journey together?" my meds aren't powerful enough to fight this shit rn /j

im never playing genshin again what the fuck /j (<- loves it)

PAIMON YAWN JUMPSCARE AGAIN

DAINS INJURED :( BUT HE LEFT :(((( BBG COME BACK :(((((

we literally only don't remember meeting our sibling that's so fucking tragic what the shit man

"I'm not sure why but it almost feels like I lost something" SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP I CANT DO THISSSS

caribert left a memory for someone as to what "happened" :( his legacy can live on in the village :((((((((

now what IM interested in is whether the loom of fate is going to have any significance in natlan or whether we're still going to have to wait til the 5.7 dain quest next year to find out what's going on with it bc if it's complete NOW why would they wait a whole year to put their plan into motion

aw atossa really loved caribert huh :(((

THE PICTURE?!?!?!?! I'M GOING TO END IT ALL RIGHT NOW.

fuck me what a quest,,,,

as usual ty to anyone who bothered to read through the brain vomit LOL ily <3 im gonna go uh. cry a lot now, goodbye 👋

This is my depiction of RÉRIR, also known as the Rächer of Solnari—one of the Five Sinners of Khaenri’ah mentioned in the Archon Quest "Bedtime Story."

The name Rérir comes from Germanic myth, where he is known as a mighty ruler who avenges his murdered father and becomes the ancestor of the legendary Völsung bloodline—a clan of tragic heroes and cursed legacies.

His title, "Rächer of Solnari," may translate to Avenger of the Sun-Corpse—a poetic nod to:

Sól (the Norse sun goddess)

Narfi, son of Loki, who may symbolize death or decay.

Symbolism in the Art:

Sword Upright: Rérir holds his blade like a gravestone—a symbol of justice turned to penance. The sword is massive, sacred, and unmoving, as though weighing the sins of an entire kingdom.

Facing Left (Past): He gazes back—not to fight fate like Surtalogi—but to mourn what was lost. The leftward gaze invokes remembrance, regret, and the passage of time.

Freckled, Scarred Face: A weathered man whose beauty lies in grief and survival. Every line tells of battles fought, oaths broken, and hopes extinguished.

Sunlike Halo + Sword Lightburst: “Solnari” may mean sun-corpse—and so Rérir is framed in dying light.

Armor Grid Motif: Like Surtalogi, his armor is patterned with structured alchemical geometry, marking him as a product of Khaenri’ah’s elite warriors.
