Things we don’t know about Old Mondstadt (that Hoyoverse refuses to tell us)
Aka things that haunt me (and probably many other old mondstadt fans)
(keep in mind- not all of these may be entirely unanswerable as of now, some have partial/vague canon answers, while some may have completely canon yet relatively obscure answers)
(for the sake of making things easier to write, i will refer to venti’s dead friend/the nameless bard as “nb” and the red haired warrior as “rhw”, and specifically wisp venti as “wispti”, and i will be referring to the group of wispti, nb, rhw, gunnhildr, and amos (and maybe decarabian too if he’s relevant in that context) as the “old mond gang”)
Note- lots of paragraphs ahead
1- why is nb nameless? does he just… not have a name? does he have a name that he either intentionally or unintentionally kept secret? did he have a name that he used openly and oftenly, but it was forgotten by history as time went on? if anything, did he at least have some sort of nickname people used for him (so we can stop calling him “some nameless guy or smth idk”)?
2- While nb being, well, nameless, may be a bit more justified, what about rhw? did he also have some sort of name? would calling him “ragnvindr” (or similar) be entirely un-canon? did he at the very least have some sort of code name/nickname?
3- what is the timescale of the rebellion? did it take weeks, months, years? decades? how long ago did thoughts of revolution start in old mondstadt? were the people always unhappy, or did old mond use to be a better place?
4- what is nb’s role in the rebellion? did he start it? is he just a leader in general? or is he just there for the moral support? was he on the front lines or in the distance, playing his lyre to rally the troops? is he a strategist? has he ever directly fought anyone on the opposing side?
5- actually, how old is nb anyway? pretty sure most people agree that the rest of the old mond gang are adults (not wispti but like. i’ll touch more on that later), but i’ve seen stories/theories/headcanons about how old nb was (at the time of death) ranging from around 14 to 23 years old- that is not a small range by any means. (according to a poll i made a while ago, 16 was the most common answer on what people thought their age was (my headcanon too), but there was definitely a lot of range in the answers)
6- If Amos and Decarabian’s romantic relationship is so toxic (for lack of a better word), how any why did they get together in the first place? Did amos enter the relationship aware decarabian was against some of the things she wanted most in life? did she enter the relationship purely to try to “fix” him? was he abusive towards her, or was it just a lack of attention/affection/caring about other things more than her? or was it that he never loved her/was attracted to her romantically at all? were they still in a relationship even until the very end, or did they eventually split up when they both knew they would have to fight eachother and that things wouldn’t work out between them?
7- according to the “biography of gunnhildr” book (i think that’s the name), it says they worshipped the wind spirit barbatos and treated it like a deity, while other sources say wispti was nameless and was like. just kinda there. is one of them the truth, or both, or neither?
8- does wispti have arms and/or legs of any kind? can he talk/communicate with people? if so, how does he go about doing so?
9- it’s implied in “a drunkard’s tale” (an ingame book) that the wind spirit that transformed into a fox and helped create wine is the same wind spirit as well. wispti. if that means wispti can shapeshift, to what extent can he do it? can he even become a human/humanoid (not to the same detail and/or time extent that modern venti/barbatos can do so but still)? if so, how does that impact his relationship with nb and/or the rest of the old mond gang?
10- how long did the members of the old mond gang know eachother? did most of them meet in relation to the rebellion, or did some of them know eachother before they got to that point?
11- what is the order of events between amos dying, nb dying, decarabian dying, barbatos getting the gnosis, barbatos taking nb’s form, the end of the fighting, and rhw leaving/abandoning (for lack of better words) everyone? how much time took place between all those happening?
12- what exactly are the purposes of the tower? is it just a living space/government building for decarabian and amos, or is there more to it? did other people live in the tower too? if the circular ruins/symbols seen in the tower present-day were also there back then, why and how are they there? are the light actuators in the tower related to anything involving decarabian’s power/immortality and/or the storm wall?
13- how impenetrable is the storm wall, really? is everything restricted from going in or out, or are some people able to move freely? what is the immigration/emigration rate of the city? how often are things imported and exported? does the wall have any intended purpose other than for keeping the blizzard out?
14- how did amos get her bow? why is it so (hypothetically) powerful? where did she get it and how did it “retain its power” to this day?
15- how “old” is wispti? he could theoretically be any “age” between “manifesting into existence shortly before his first interaction with nb” and 14 billion years old/as old as time itself(and you thought nb’s theoretical age range was large.) how much did wispti truly know before getting involved with the rebellion? was he technically a toddler (in terms of knowledge/mentality), or does he actually have thousands of years of knowledge?
16- to what extent did the imunlaukr (i probably spelled that wrong) and lawrence clans participate in the old mondstadt rebellion? were they involved at all? should the old mond gang be eventually expanded to include more people? (lawrence, venerare, etc)
17- HOW DID DECARABIAN LOOK LIKE? HOYOVERSE PLEASE. IF YOU WONT GIVE US HIS FULLBODY DESIGN WITH MULTIPLE POSES AND FACIAL EXPRESSIONS AT LEAST GIVE US SOME CRUMBS ABOUT HIS APPEARANCE (how tall he was, hair color, outfit style, special accessories he wore, weapons he used, etc)
18- what is the relationship of the old mond game to eachother? were they friends? found family? or were things far more complicated than that? (and what was their reaction to knowing amos, one of their biggest allies, was also the lover/partner of their (the old mond gang’s) enemy?
19- did some of the genshin weapons with lore relations to old mondstadt actually get used during old mondstadt? (aka did nb get to use freedom-sworn as an actual combat weapon)
I probably left out a lot of things so i may go back later to edit, but there are just. SO many things hoyoverse keeps behind the lore basement. If anyone would like to add onto this list, or provide personal headcanons and/or canon answers to the things mentioned here, i highly reccomend doing so.

Royalty AU! AU summary below! ✨
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Royalty AU + Omegaverse + a bit Furry)
Mondstadt. Kingdom of crops, large meadows and good wine. Most of its inhabitants are winged beings (For example Jean is an eagle, Kaeya a peacock. But there are other animals like Diluc who is a lion or Klee a bunny!)
It is ruled by Decarabian (Alpha, bluish black wings) and his wife Istaroth (Omega, white wings) Their heirs are the Bard (Who I call Dorian in my AUs until Mihoyo gives me his damn name) (Beta, tan wings) and Venti (Omega, white wings with turquoise accents) they are twins!
Decarabian was unfaithful, her lover was Amos which caused Istaroth to execute her and leave the kingdom, leaving Deca as a single father, LOL. He totally invested in his little children. Super protective father.
Dorian being the oldest for a few minutes and a Beta was chosen to occupy the throne when Decarabian passes the command or is no longer there. He was raised to be the next king, although he hates the word "rule" he prefers to say that he took care of Mondstadt.
But two years ago Dorian contracted the terrible disease of eleazar, he was on the verge of death then but he survived. He now has to rest a lot, suffers from fatigue and muscle pain, sometimes black scales grow on his body causing numbness.
Decarabian searched for the best doctor specialized in the disease, who turned out to be the Fenec Tighnari (Omega) of Sumeru, where this disease is somewhat more common there. Tighnari travels from time to time to treat Dorian.
When the scales cover a certain amount of his body they must be removed, this is very painful and Dorian spends a lot of time in bed, although when he feels better he usually plays music in the garden.
His personal guard the Red Knight (A lion Alpha, I called him Brend because I don't have his name either) has been in charge of his care since he contracted the disease and spending so much time together sparked the spark of love!!
A secret love, of course, only Venti and some gossips like Kaeya (Omega, Captain of the cavalry and Venti's best friend) know about it.
All this made Dorian unable to govern properly, there is no cure for his disease and they know that if it worsens he will not live much longer. So Decarabian, much to his regret, had to pass on to his second son, Venti.
But since we're in a dumb old monarchy, an omega can't rule by itself! So Deca must make an arranged marriage for his precious omega son (Imagine Decarabian raging here, no one touches his child)
And of the 6 kingdoms that remain, what better than to ally with the beautiful neighboring kingdom? Liyue! A huge kingdom, full of mountains and a booming economy with its huge port. The Liyue royals have money, trade, good relations with the other kingdoms, they are perfect.
Liyue is ruled under the harsh dynasty of Osial (Alpha Blue Dragon) his wife Beisht (Quillin Omega) his eldest son and heir Zhongli (Alpha Dragon-Quilin) his middle sister Ninnguang (Alpha white and gold Dragon) and little sister Ganyu ( Quilin Omega)
Zhongli has a complex because he is the only one who is a mix, he is embarrassed by the soft golden hair on his tail, and his father does not hide his disgust.
So Osial does not hesitate to accept the neighboring kingdom's offer, it is his chance to gain territory and get his son out of sight, leaving his favorite daughter Ningguang in control of the port.
In order not to look bad in front of the other nations, Decarabian throws one of his famous parties, this time with the theme of courting his son. Although he has a contract prepared for Liyue.
At the party Venti is very upset to find out about this whole thing, but he meets Zhongli and they hit it off right away! Despite being a dragon he is not scary like the Kitsune that Ianzuma rules (Ei is here, sent by Makoto, her courtship fails even though she was not interested lol)
Still things are awkward and embarrassing between them! They dance, and Venti is fascinated by the sparkling jewels that decorate Zhongli's horns (He likes things that sparkle, he's a bird) Zhongli gives him one of his chains, making a small bracelet as a courtship gift.
They are cute! Meanwhile Osial only examines Venti with disgust, but approves of his wide hips which will be useful for egg-laying, the contract calls for an heir after all.
After the dance, the next day it is announced that Zhongli was the winner of the courtship and the arranged marriage is official!
Venti wants to run away from all this, and refuse marriage, at least leave it for a few years to really meet Zhongli. But Osial threatens that if they don't get married now, Dorian will have to marry Ganyu.
Zhongli is horrified because his sister is still very young, and Venti does not intend to destroy the life of his brother who is in love with his knight, besides that stress could worsen his illness.
So Venti accepts the marriage.
There is a lot of drama and many more characters here! But maybe one day I'll be encouraged to write fic! For the moment I will continue roleplaying happily with my homie and making silly drawings of this
Thank you for reading!

Alice casually blowing up parts of old mond., making it look like there might've been some more damage while Deca is nappin' under his tower
KZHFKSHDKSHD
Au where she wakes him up and puts him on babysitting Klee duty. Venti wakes up to protect Mondstadt and is SWEATING when he sees Deca giving Klee a piggy back ride. Decarabian is like "Huh that Bard has kin. Oh that bard's kin hates me. Nothing new"

i’ve seen other people point out that decarabian Might not be dead
to my knowledge, venti’s character stories never explicitly say he died, only that he “fell” and was defeated and such
i saw a post pointing out that the seal on the tower in old mondstadt is similar to the design from venti’s elemental skill, and paimon’s dialogue when you fall down there is unique
we’ve seen before that when a god dies, especially violently, there are huge effects to the surroundings (havria of course coming to mind). however, nothing like this was mentioned that i know of when the revolution won against decarabian
so if decarabian is still alive and sealed away in old mondstadt, the question is, will this actually be relevant at any point or is it just an interesting detail

I’ve seen quite a few people do something similar, so let’s see if this works-
If this post gets at least 500 notes before, say, March 10, I will write a oneshot (few thousand words) of Amos and Decarabian getting a divorce
Rules-
You may leave as many comments and reblogs as needed, however there needs to be at least 20 separate people contributing to the note count
If you have any ideas for the fic itself, I highly reccomend listing them in the comments/reblogs (who knows, I may still write this even if the note count isn’t reached)
Good luck :)
Edit- changed goal to 75 notes since 500 seems fairly unreasonable

Finally...I finished my Tangled AU! It only takes me ALL DAY but I am happy and satisfied 🙏🏻✨
Yes, Bard's hair is short in the front because Deca tried to cut (?) it when he was a baby but as you know he lost his magic power so I think that part is a dark bluish and the rest of the hair is..I don't know, anemo color? then when Knight cuts it completely it goes all dark.
I also wanted to make Venti like a real chameleon but it's cuter for him to be a "Wind Sprite" here! He can change his appearance so he's kind of a chameleon LOL
I really don't know if Decarabian here is the real dad or he kidnapped the baby Bard! But if it turns out to be his real father then the mother is Amos or Istaroth who also has some kind of power and they are divorced after having a magical baby pfffpf I DON'T KNOW
I wanted to include Zhongli here in a way but I don't know how, imagine in this world there are dragons and he is one! Like, instead of riding the horse Max there is Zhongli HAHAHA
I can't believe this AU possessed me like this...But long hair Bard is killing me HE IS SO PRETTY!!
End.

Burnt Hands Pt.1
Prologue.Pt0.1
Tumblr media
A story about a tired student in school trying to get by, but ultimately breaks down. During a late night study session the student falls asleep, only to get transferred to Genshin impact; and later on various other games. Getting transferred to Genshin wasn't really what they wanted as their life plan is ruined and now they have to live in a world without their family, friends and away from anything they were truly familiar with.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Entry.01: A Hold or a Slip.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: ??-??-????
Location: Teyvat(?), Unknown
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Waking up, the first thing they noticed was the ache in their spine. Stretching trying to get rid of the pain, they notice two things; the bright warmth of the sun, and the vague sound of finches chirping. The latter gave away a bit of concern, at that time they were abroad studying at a college. The thing about the finch that they heard, it was specifically a crimson finch which was not native in the area they were currently inhabiting. And they would know, their fathers were avid bird watchers.
They got up in a panic, and felt their blood run cold. “Oh god no, no, no, no. Please no, fuck where am I? Where the fuck am I! No, no, calm down. Just breathe, it's going to be fine.” They said, breathing heavily. “Alright, calm down. Think, fucking think! How many hours did I sleep? How much time will I waste getting back home? I'm going to miss all the lectures this week. How the fuck am I even going to get back, where am I? Europe? I see pine trees and snow in the distance, and mountains covered in snow. Wait… aren't those the lamp grass thing-a-mabobs . Aren't they from Genshin, doesn't Aiko play that on her playstation back at the apartment.”
Laying back down, 5 seconds wasted. They decided to think whether or not this was some kind of dream, feeling their body everything was the same; no wallet, phone, keys, ID, fucking nothing. Feeling for anything, literally that could help them in this situation. Hitting their forehead in frustration, they felt a cool stone sticking out. Pulling on it made it hurt, as it felt like it was embedded within their very skull. As they briefly pulled on the stone, a transparent screen opened in front of them, “what in the fantasy transmigration manhwa bullshit is going on? Welcome player? You are one of the few lucky candidates…to be chosen to play in a game of survival. Complete tasks to level up, failure to do or comply will lead to punishments that may vary depending on the importance? Rewards may vary…”. Denial is all they could feel, that and anger.
They never believed in a higher being, but players? Punishments? What kind of scheme or prank is this really? Was this some kind of sick fucking joke, this is a waste of time. Time they never seem to ever have enough of. Reaching out their hands to touch the screen, seemingly to be somewhat interactable from the way the screen went to show a familiar scene. It looked like the one you would see in the game when you open the menu. They were fairly familiar with the mechanics of the game as their roommate often played in the living room, whilst they either cooked in the open kitchen, cleaned the room or just read books of many varieties.
Clicking on the inventory they saw, the many artifacts and weapons their friend had whaled and spent their time collecting. Abundance of food and overworld materials, but the many quest items their friend spent years on were missing. The tab for the serenitea pot was missing and was replaced with something called ‘home world’; filled with various clothing items and jewelries they and their friend owned. It had seemed many of their items were taken from their apartment in the real world, and were placed within the limitless inventory.
Other than that, everything seemed the same within the menu screen. That was until they opened the map. Remembering their friend had 100% exploration, it was a surprise that the map didn't only just show 0% exploration on all available regions. But, the map looks far different then the one in their memory. Instead of the guili plains being a large grassy plain with ruins scattered around, there were semi large buildings and homes scattered across the area. A bazaar lay waiting in the heart of it all, one thing they also noticed about the area as well was the rather large intricately made building situated between two mountains. Zooming out to see the name of the area, there was no dihua marsh nor was it named the guili plains. A new name was strewn across the whole area, the Guili assembly. Looking further the snowy area seemed larger than it was, and there was no mondstat city either.
“You gotta be kidding me, this is definitely that stupid gacha game Aiko plays. But it's not the fucking same, Aiko said that the Guili assembly got destroyed 3000 or so years before the actual timeline started. Great, now my info is useless. Anything I could've used is out of the window, I can't even read any of the readily available books, they're in another fucking language! And I'm far from any type of civilization” they said, frustration evident as tears start to form in their eyes. They felt so helpless, they're stuck. They had nothing to help them, it's not fair. Why now, just when it was getting better. Everything just had to go wrong, what the hell did they do to deserve this.
“Alright calm down, think. It’s going to be fine, it's only been 6 minutes and 23 seconds. What I need to do is change clothes. If I'm seen in strange clothing, I might be classified as an outlander like the traveler and god knows what will happen then”. Thankfully for them, Aiko's wardrobe had many different styles of clothing. Props and clothes for cosplay, Antique and vintage styled clothing and of course modern day clothing. Picking out clothing to help blend in wasn't easy either,as they couldn't simply gauge what era of fashion the current Teyvat was in.
Managing an outfit out of the the dozen of clothes and planning a possible safe route by looking at the map; The area which would be soon be known as Mondstat looked to be torn away by countless battles anemo and cryo marred the land, a far cry to the peaceful and free lands they once knew. So their current route was to go through the outer bounds of Dragonspine, if they encountered any thieves or elemental beings. Their safest bet was to just run.
The system had yet to set any tasks. Getting up and eating some food from their inventory, they set off on the route they planned. Using the pins, they created a path that they could follow. They just simply didn't want to get lost, it didn't help that the terrain was unfamiliar to them. Two dings break through the silence, two bars showed up in the bottom of their vision; Achievement Completed: “Baby's first steps” and Achievement Completed: “That's weird…That's suspicious”. The second achievement looked strange, they had always had exceptional hearing but they couldn't hear the sound of any footsteps. In fact, they couldn't hear anything. It was eerily quiet, not the chirping of birds nor the sound of the winds breezing past them. Strange as the land nearest to them had been torn away by the elements.
As suddenly as it became quiet, the sound broke through violently like a bursting dam. Winds poured towards them making it hard to breathe, a cacophonous voice rang within the area. A residual shiver ran down their spine. One word echoed through their head as they shifted their head towards the voice, danger. They knew that whoever was there could've killed them with just a wave of their hand, but they didn't and it was possibly an act of mercy, hopefully. The presence they encountered once again spoke, this time in a lowered tone open seeing them. “Who thou mortal, to traverse around such a desolate place, doth thou desire to meet thy end? A child of man should’st not be out to hither. Here is torn by war and famine, I, Decarabian. God of storms and leader of the Tempest Children. One only wishes to bid, what is the reason for thy travels?”
Our protagonist froze at the name. Decarabian, the God of storms and lord of the tower. A tyrant that trapped his people within an area surrounded by a wind barrier. His title was different but who else could it have been, he was the one who fought Andrius for several years. “Ah, one is apologetic. Thou must have been quite perplexed by one's decorative vocabulary.” Decarabian said as he must've seen the troubled look that the person held as he continued. “One's followers had said that one often appears quite hard to speak to, especially when one uses language from a forgotten time. But, one has dawdled enough. Tell ones illuminated being, what is thy name.” Thinking for a moment, an alias would be better wouldn't it? A few things was the fact that they were in a familiar, but also unfamiliar place. They knew the lore, as their friend often spoke of it during dinner time. If what they know is true, then it's best to stay hidden.
“I was not given a name at birth and often lived as a nameless individual, I have no home either. But, I have a great many acquaintances. You could say they themselves provided me a name, you may call me Barbēlō.” deciding to use their friends' nicknames within the game. Decarabian proceeded to ask “Barbēlō? An interesting name, may I call you Barbie-”. “No” a fast and a curt reply left their mouth, showing a face of destained. They had no qualms with Barbie as a character, but they did have a past with the said character as a child. They just didn't want to have to be reminded of a certain event from their past. Having Decarabian call them that also reminded them of their families teasing, a bittersweet feeling gnawing at the back of their mind as she is reminded of their family.
Sensing their growing corcern and sadness Decarabian decided to change the subject, asking them if they wished to follow him to his colony of followers. Whilst he wondered, what happened to them before they met? Futhermore, they now known as Barbēlō. Proceeded to agree to stay for a bit of time before leaving to futher wander Teyvat. That was when they set off; both with silent questions hanging over their heads, and various emotions drifted through the wind that passed them by.

HELLO EVIL ADOPTION DOODLE AGAIN, i would color this now however if i do not go to sleep soon tommorrow me will be grumpy so have some deca healing wispi.. I am extremly unwell about them
YES YES YES THIS IS EXACTLY HOW I IMAGINE THIS WE ARE ON THE SAME WAVELENGTH 💖💖💖💖💖
He is so small,,,, Carmen could hardly remember the last time his friend was this small and weak,,,, they both put in so much effort trying to gain strength and now look at them. Depending on Decarabian to heal their spark of hope
NB is so so so tired. He hates how warm it is when falling asleep near his new dad. He hates how his heart is yearning for family. He hates how he loves being spoiled.
And Venti is here! He knew that no matter what he would be happy as long as his other half was by his side... but like this? Like this!
...
He gently brushes his friend's head. Soft. Familiar.
He feels Decarabian wipe the tears off his face.
His friend is safe... he is.... safe.....
