Makes an offering to all the adorable little wind wisps on the dash. One hopes a delicious apple suffices! Now that he thinks about it, can the little wind wisps even consume food? Ah, one supposes he will find out soon enough.

Since you asked so nicely: WHAT THE HECK ?!?!? REMAINS OF THE THIRD DESCENDER??? WHOMST ??? Do you think the Heavenly Principles are gonna do something about Focalor's masterful trick ?

I haven't done the last world quest and I'm not ready™

THERE IS SO MUCH I WANT TO DISCUSS ABOUT THE THIRD DESCENDER THING. I am going to be 0% coherent about any of this but I'll do my best

So we know of four Descenders at this point:

The Primordial One (who Neuvillette calls the "First Usurper," which I find very spicy of him);

The Second Who Came - who, according to Before Sun and Moon, fought and lost to the Primordial one, BUT who, according to Neuvillette, then proceeded to help The Primordial One make the Gnoses from the remains of the

THIRD Descender, who we know nothing about besides that their remains are the seven Gnoses!?; and

The Traveler [Abyss sibling ISN'T considered a Descender but this might be because they don't REMEMBER it (see: Battle Pass quote from Venti and the gnostic Hymn of the Pearl).]

We still don't know WHERE they came from, WHY they came to Teyvat, WHY they insisted on having beef with the Dragon Sovereigns or why THEY are the only ones allowed to create human beings while anyone else who tries to do so gets the hurt put on them. However we DO know that apparently they can be split into pieces Horcrux-style. (Which probably shouldn't surprise us at this point considering how many times various Water GoddessesTM have done so)

"Functions ruined" !? Cool so what IS the Primordial One if they have "functions" ???

"Resentments and loathing of the world" is, I'm assuming, a reference to Forbidden Knowledge (which, as I've discussed previously, has shown itself to be VERY emotionally-based).

If the PO and the "one who came after" created the Gnoses together - what happened to the Third Descender? Did they die? Was this a punishment? Did they willingly sacrifice themselves? Who WERE they in relation to the first two descenders!?

"Thus did humans come to ONLY possess these seven remembrances" - so THIS and what comes after it is, i am almost CERTAIN, a reference to the Archon War. We know that there could theoretically have been more than seven Elemental Vision types, based on the Elemental Specialist namecard. This would, however, imply that ALL OF THE ARCHONS, living or dead, are pieces of the Primordial One ("fragments of the primordial") that proceeded to fight amongst themselves for the chance to have one of the Gnoses.

WE HAVE CONFIRMATION THAT even though the "heavens" are the ones that pick whether someone has a strong enough "wish" to get a Vision, THE ARCHONS THEMSELVES ARE THE ONES THAT GIVE THEM OUT. That's not that important for lore I don't think but DAMN IT, it's important to me and my love of forming character dynamics where there are none!!!

As far as the last thing is concerned I will be genuinely shocked if Focalors' little switcharoo on the Heavenly Principles doesn't come back around later in the game. Like, she hacked the system. Someone's going to notice eventually.
