I still can't believe they gave itto a rock and roll event without xinyan

[persicipen-archive]

the purely technical issue i have with genshin is that they have started to prolong dialogue sections into awfully large bits. it means that if your game crashes or you have to step away from playing or lose connection, you will have to replay a big chunk of unskippable dialogue that you already know, until you get back on track. i really wish we had more stops in between for the game to save and reload safely, even if it’s just teleporting, walking a bit with the character, moving time, anything at all to get out of the dialogue for a break without losing your progress.

[Genshin Impact] Who was Coppelius and what are his masterpieces ?

Finally ! It is time for me to talk about THIS GUY. Before getting into theories and speculations (because this game never ceases to surprise us with its absurdly huge lore and foreshadowing) it would be a great thing to start with the beginning and by this I mean : Who is he ?

Coppelius was a musician and playwright that lived in Fontaine around 500 years prior to the game's events, before the cataclysm. Almost nothing is known of his life before becoming what we could consider the most famous artist of the nation, but a well hidden element can help us imagine how his childhood was. In Dwight Lasker’s office, located in the ruins of the Institute of Natural Philosophy, we can find this little paragraph at the beginning of his Ancient Notes :

“...Though it's a shame, we'll have to miss it. I was looking forward to Coppelius’ new work. Ever since he was a child, he's always been incredibly talented…”

We can understand that Dwight Lasker knew Coppelius as a child, which could mean that he was also an orphan that grew up in the Narzissenkreuz Institute in the same time period, along with Basil Elton, Karl Ingold and Emanuel Guillotin. (If only there was more information about that !)

Coppelius had a troupe and we learned through the instrument maker Giovanni, Patrono of the Pascale Family at Petrichor, that the family’s ancestors used to be the luthiers who tuned the troupe’s instruments. But who knows if they traveled to other nations ? Talking about Petrichor, this is where we can find one of his descendants : Goldoni. This woman also aims to be recognized as a great playwright. Please go talk to her, she's saying very interesting things !

Now let's see some of Coppelius’ plays, starting with “Golden Hyperborea”. This one depicts the story of a homesick flower (a Lumidouce Bell, referred to as “Weeping Crystal”) who wanders in the freezing lands of the north, which suggests : Snezhnaya. This is where its beauty is made eternal by the icy winds. It is important to note that for Fontainians this flower is said to represent parting and the wish for reunion…

If we follow the critics of his time, this play perfectly aligns with the author's obsessions. It was said that Coppelius gave a great importance to eternal beauty and eternal love, an obsession that can be found in every line of his last works, which also includes “Clockwork Coppelia”.

"There is no absolute good or evil, only absolute beauty and ugliness. And that which makes beauty is eternal love…”

–Coppelius’ words, given to us by Goldoni.

If you are familiar with the lore, the second one will probably remind you of something, this is “Parsifal”. This play is about the eponymous elusive thief from Mondstadt’s old history, and of course the Blue-Eyed Spear Witch. This story inspired two other famous and very special artists from Fontaine : Parsifal the great and her assistant Josephine, they lived around 500 years ago, like the author.

Most of his plays show his interest for history, the next one is “The Saga of Aurelius” that we can read about in the “Silvershower Heartstrings” weapon.

People are unsure about Aurelius' existence, mostly believing that he was invented, just like Ajax (Really?) but in reality, he was one of the four Harmosts of Remuria. Through time, the uncertainty explains why there are a lot of variations for the Harmost’s story. As for the script Coppelius wrote, Aurelius was “a hero as glorious as gold, who conquered countless traitorous nations and cities for Fontaine”.

Some of the other interpretations of the story say that Aurelius and his troops went to the Pine Forest (Dryas Woods) where the protagonist met a young maiden : Dryastis. Some say that she saved him from his foes and took his hand, asking him to take away the conflict and sorrow from this land. And others, that she gave him her bow only for him to get killed by traitors later. Or even, that Aurelius’ passion for Dryastis was so strong that he pursued her in the forest and that she fled to the riverbank, weeping to her pure-water mother, the ruler of the Many Waters. The divinity took pity on her fate, and turned her into a pine tree to escape.

Another play, “Masque of the great”, is mentioned by Goldoni but we don't have any information yet. I first thought it might be about the story told in “the fall of the faded castle” because of its references to “The Masque of the Red Death” by Edgar Allan Poe but we know a Great historical figure who wore a mask : Remus.

There's more of his works that we don't know about yet, or some already named plays which are not clearly attributed to him in-game.

But his greatest, most interesting and famous play is the last one that could not be performed to completion, “Clockwork Coppelia”. You can partially read this one in the “Flowing Purity” weapon !

The character Coppelius, whose name is the same as the playwright, created an automaton : Coppelia. Because he committed an unclarified sin he was chased and his plan was finally exposed to the marechaussee. He bids farewell to Coppelia before his punishment, asking her to sing for him one last time. But she does not want to sing of this sin and inevitable punishment, she says that everything he pursues is illusory, as hollow as stage scenery.

Later in the play, Coppelia is traveling with a young man named Nathaniel. She explains to him why she travels, that she is searching for her creator even if she believes him to be dead. The clockwork lady says that all sin will be forgotten once her rusted gears return to the same ash as Coppelius’ bones. Nathaniel asks Coppelia what she exactly plans to do, she reveals that her heart was stained by the same sin during this journey. What we know of the incomplete play ends with Coppelia wondering how her tortured heart could even find peace.

The first and last representation of this play coincides with its author's death. When Coppelius presented “Clockwork Coppelia” at the theater it was interrupted during the first intermission because of the Cataclysm. Only few spectators survived the destruction of the opera theater and it is only through them that some parts of Coppelia’s story are still known.

After five hundred years, this unfinished tragedy can be seen come to life as the Icewind Suite, the duo of automatons inspired by the play.

According to Maillardet, the researcher from FRIKEE who built them, the idea first came from the director Bossuet. But honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if he stole this idea from someone else because it already happened…Since he was forced to resign from his role as a director, Maillardet took over the project. However, this engineer wanted to achieve something different by creating the Artificed Dancers, it gradually strayed from the first idea and became this world Boss we now know.

Maillardet also adds his bits of story from what he understands of it, about “how Coppelius was defeated in a war against temptation, and was thus punished” and how Coppelia, in her love, nearly died of grief and set on a journey to save her imprisoned creator. But he also says that no matter the drama, it must end in a lovers’ dance.
