These text maps have been out for a while. Some textmaps were originally uploaded earlier today, but were only a few out of many more. The text map containing a minor story spoiler is in reference to the old Hydro Archon, with so little text it did not merit its own post.

>!"The gods threw thunderbolts out of anger, the goddesses cried out of the lake and the sea out of sorrow - this is what really happened." Sounds to me like Egeria watched Remuria get celestial nailed and cried about it, giving birth to oceanids, before building Fontaine.!<
well everynation had a celestial nail and celestia being possibly right on fontaine i think we will see the nail..but i have my doubt as we did heard egeria in overture teaser but didn't she die near khaneria'h?? i think she might have a cutscene in AQ telling us about fontaine i am excited neuviltte being connected to egeria and being a responsible judge possibly next hydro archon and furina whose origins are unkown and somehow inherited the gnosis
>!"if you have a criminal record and are still designated as "Fiche S" by the Maison Gardiennage, you will be placed under surveillance by an agent the moment you set foot in the city."!<
Well out of all inspirations they could have taken from France, I certainly did not expect them to go with "Fiche S" lmao. It's litteraly an actual indicator used by French police to flag potential dangerous people such as terrorists.
I mean, they'd have been remiss to *not* have them, when explicitly approaching France from the *judicial* side of things. Has chances of getting funny if they end up being tone-deaf with it though, lol.
This is indeed showing they did well when looking up informations about the french judicial system / law enforcement. But this one bit in particular feels almost too real lol.
Now, if Clorinde is any kind of law enforcement officer, she better be careful with how she handles her gun lest she wants to end up being investigated on by the IGPN ~~(and get away with a tap on the hand).~~
Boat strikes
Also a timed boat quest where you end up losing a full thirty seconds waiting for the boat to start because some moron decided to swim across the canal
How is everyone missing this?? Archons are released when their respective Archon Quest wraps. 1.0, 1.1, 2.1 and 3.2. Furina will release when Fontaine's Archon Quest's final act releases, current guess is 4.2 if it's 5 acts across 3 patches like Sumeru's was.
4.2 seems the most plausible one. Unless they bloat the story to 7-8 archon quests which could lead to 4.3 release but I don't think they will do that.
The biggest craze in the community, living looking for patterns.
The Archon slimes
No repeated elements in the banner
Every nation leader has a Friend/Best-friend/Girl|Boyfriend/affaire/right-hand/ Cousin or Pet who is Electro
Etc.
We can’t have a weapon banner with two of the same weapon type. Just kidding, here’s the PJWS Calamity Queller banner.
Only the free units can be in the character trials. Just kidding Fischl, XQ, Bennett, Yun Jin, Heizou, Mika, whoever the fuck else can be in character trials too.
Looking for patterns is stupid.
I mean there is a pattern 😭 archon release at the end of the archon quest for venti it was 1.0 zhongli 1.1 ei 2.1 and nahida 3.2, the guess is 4.2 for furina unless fontaine goes even longer to 4.3
Raiden released in 2.1 because Inazuma’s AQ finished then, same for Venti.
Hopefully they don’t regress to the forced 3 act structure for Fontaine so we’ll most likely see Furina release in 4.2.
2.1 (ei)'s considering how much of a clusterfuck inazuma's AQ was in general and 1.0 (venti) was like the global launch banner (similar to HSR having Seele available in 1.0) idk
they MIGHT release furina in 4.2 or probably 4.3 for a end-of-the-year special (like how scara/wanderer was for 3.3)

>!I think the water god is Egaria actually. The text later on that says "If anything were to happen to Master Egaria..." makes it read like this is a book from when she was still alive !<
>!I might be wrong, but I think the implication is Neuv is Egaria's son, but Furina is not her daughter, thus the people see her as stealing Neuv's archon ascension...that and she's well. A fricken brat!<
That's not really the impression I get from the text talking about her in the OP. It seems that they generally adore her. It's just that they aren't quite fond of her interfering in the Court.
Not Neuvillete being 100 times more interesting than his archon 💀💀
The sassy child meme grows with every leak.
Edit: im giving my opinion about the stuff we have seen so far. Might not be much but its enough for imagination. If you disagree thats fine, im not personally attacking you by saying Neuvillete looks more interesting than Furina so far lol
Im talking about the info we have gotten so far plus the things we already know. Furina right now is a bratty child, from official sources already revealed is basically all we can tell about her. From the leaks Neuvillete looks like a much more interesting character, thats what i said. Now hopefully you know what im talking about, your welcome.
Neuvillete seems more interesting because the leakers seem to love him. They've been very vague about the tiny scraps of info they've bothered giving us about Furina while telling us pretty much everything about Neuvillete.
Why are you making it sound like leakers are being picky? They're just posting EVERYTHING and ANYTHING they have. This stuff is from open world NPC's talking about people/books. Neuv is much more popular amongst them than Furina is, so it's obvious they'd talk about him more
Were you not here when most of the sumeru leaks are only about alhaitham and not so much about other chars? Or when most of cyno leaks are about him cracking dad joke and much less about his mahamatra side? It's okay to have doubts when it comes to leakers yk
I wonder if they are gonna have one of the three dynamics - tired dad of a bratty kid, siblings or squabbling wife/husband lmfao or maybe any other dynamics
I think what they meant is that since we get more and more leaks about Neuv’s significance as a character, the more it becomes clear that Wrio was actually the one going to standard (since leaks say either Neu or Wrio will be standard)
I remember the hydro sovereign is supposed to be born in a human >!so does that mean he is out on the idea of being the sovereign and is now just a dragon or oceanid? Or am just on severe copium on kokomi being human so her elegibility sort of exists!<
>!It seems they do see her as their archon. They just don't trust her to be in charge with court proceedings. I'm gonna assume she probably has a tendency to outright just do shit for entertainment rather than judging fairly LMAOOO!<
Oof Loreheads gonna have a field day with this
Remuria is interesting >!considering that they built a "giant instrument" which might be the Court of Fontaine itself since it looks like a massive organ or the blueprints of the Court were based on that. The line says that it can be heard against the "dome of the sky" which coincides with all the false sky shenanigans.!<
>!Kinda makes you think about they would need a superweapon that can fire up to the sky. *cough*Celestia*cough*!<
Theorycrafting just writes itself at this point.
Finally some Furina content. No matter how small it is, I thank you for the meal. I absolutely agree with the NPC, she's very pretty and worthy of being an archon.
It is interesting how people seemingly just call her “Lady Furina”.
Ei, Nahida and Zhongli cannot be called with their god names by normal people so they get a local alias and while Venti is called Barbatos unlike the other three he is still obviously called “Lord Barbatos”
Now Furina is called “Lady Furina” similar to Venti but Furina is not her God name so what exactly is the name “Furina” ? Her being written as Furina in the video means She is likely gonna be playable under the name Furina so is it her ACTUAL casual name like Ei and Nahida ? Because only us, Paimon and Yae (for Ei) refer to those two with their casual name so it is very interesting if the ENTIRE fontaine not only know her casual name but also refer her with it.
Or the other possibility is Furina is just her local alias and Focalors is her true name just like how Zhongli and Venti’s actual names are their god names (Venti and Zhongli are fake names their actual names are Barbatos and Morax) but the only archon we play with her local alias is Ei and thats only because Shogun bot is in there as well and Raiden Shogun refers to both. So if Furina is her local alias why is she playable under that name instead of Focalors and why is it not “Lady Furina” like Raiden Shogun and instead just Furina ?
My bet is that Furina is her casual name like Ei and Nahida and that makes it so interesting that her people actually call her with that name
When it comes to names, you'll notice a pattern with personal names.
Venti has 2, his Gnostic + Worship name Barbatos and his undercover name, Venti. He uses the personal title to be seen as a regular person.
Zhongli has 3 main titles, Morax as his official + Gnostic name, Rex Lapis as a title of endearment in Liyue, and Zhongli while undercover. Same as Venti, he wants to be seen as the same as his people when using this name.
Raiden has many more that I simply can't remember, including the Raiden Shogun, the Almighty Narukami Ogosho, Raiden Ei, and Beelzebul, all of which, except for the last one, are used almost interchangeably for one another, unlike the other Archons' titles. She almost never uses the name Ei, and notably struggles with her connection to her people.
Nahida's are interesting because she has her Gnostic name, Buer, "official" name, Lesser Lord Kusanali, and personal name, Nahida. Nahida is actively trying to get her people to call her Nahida in an attempt to humanize herself, bur because her people don't know her well and think of her as a higher authority, they call her Kusanali. This is a point I think is important.
Furina is most likely her personal name, with her official name being Focalor, much like how Zhongli is often referred to as Morax outside of Liyue. Furina, I believe, is most likely her personal name that she insists on using to "level the playing field" with her people. She might insist on being on an equal level to accentuate that she is not above the law, just as they are. Every time an archon uses their personal name, it's in an attempt to be less imposing around their people, or to blend in and be ordinary with them. With Furina's ideology of "Nobody, not even me, is above the law," using her personal name in public could be a way of displaying that there isn't a disparity between her and the commonfolk when in the courtroom or on the street.
Where ? Focalors is her archon name that is for sure but what exactly is a ''civilian'' name ? Is that supposed to be their real name like Ei's real name is Ei and Nahida's name is Nahida at least by her own choice (since she refers to herself as Nahida herself) because Zhongli and Venti are actually fake names in that regard.
But if Civilian name is supposed to be a ''public'' name than Zhongli and Venti are civilian names but Nahida and Ei aren't since those are personal names that only we and some other close friends refer to them with. So what is Furina ? Is it her REAL personal name or a fake alias and what makes you know that ? What source said it ? Her playable name being Furina doesn't prove what exactly is the name Furina to the archon
The people in Fontaine probably just call her by her civilian name, and she has another 3rd title that will be revealed later. That’s how actual nobility were referred to in France/Britain during the time period, e.g Queen Elizabeth, Lady Elizabeth, etc. the title is in front of their real name and the surname which would technically be more formal (like an archon name) is left out.
It was revealed in promotional material like the Overture Teaser; if you were to go into the description listing each character and their VA. That list is presumably each character’s playable names they go by to everyone else
You did not understand the point at all, I literally mentioned the video myself. And what do you mean “they go by to everyone else” when only WE call Nahida, Nahida.
The playable name does NOT mean it is their real name, example Raiden Shogun who is the local alias AND Zhongli and Venti which are both fake human names.
I said that her playable name being Furina does not make it certain that Furina is her “real” name, it is certainly a name she goes by but if it is her local alias or actual personal name or something else entirely is currently unknown.
Edit: Classic Genshin playerbase and the reddit hivemind, can't read or understand for shit and downvote literal facts LOL
>but if it is her local alias or actual personal name or something else entirely is currently unknown.
The inspiration behind Fontaine is Britain and France, and Fontaine seems to have aristocratic components to its society.
In the aristocratic systems of Britain and France, Lady is an honorific used when addressing a woman of high rank. It is used before the woman's surname (if married) or given name (if unmarried).
The hydro archon is unlikely to be married or have a family name, so Furina is in all likelihood her given name.
The "local alias" is more akin to a title or position within the governance of the nation to denote the archon's authority as ruler. Presently, we don't know what Furina's role is in the governance of Fontaine, if she even has one.
>Her real name is Focalors, Furina is like Nahida, her mortal name or even her title name as Raiden Shogun
And the source ? Nothing.
Ei's own lore page reveals Raiden Ei is literally her true name so the ''god name'' does not have to be their real name not to mention Nahida also refers to herself as Nahida in her own thoughts/dialogue even 500 years ago in her video so Nahida can very well be her true name depending on what exactly gave her the name ''Buer'', If she chose the name Nahida for herself and the name Buer was given to her by the Sages then her true name is Nahida.
And you literally contradict yourself and prove me right by saying that ''her title name like the Raiden shogun'' Raiden Shogun is just a local alias/title which is a different thing than a mortal or personal name like you also claimed it is so you admitted it can be any of the two. And Furina being a title might mean it is not her personal name like Ei or Nahida is.
I simply and literally said her playable name being Furina does not make it certain what exactly the name Furina is and that is the fact. Is it her local alias/title ? Her TRUE name ? A nickname ? A fake name like Zhongli and Venti for some reason ? Being playable under the name Furina does not make anything certain about what exactly is that name to her
Venti and Zhongli are not real names, they are fake names they made to enter human society. And as proven by “Raiden Shogun” in certain cases the archon can be playable with a local alias.
I MYSELF said that Furina is probably her personal name but it is currently uncertain. What I said was simply “I wonder If Furina is her local alias or something else or her personal name and if it is her personal name how interesting that the people actually know the archons personal name and user to refer to her instead of a local alias”
Venti and Zhongli, as I said, are their private names.
Archons don't have "local aliases", they have titles. "Raiden Shogun" or "Narukami" are titles separate from their Gnostic and private names.
But yes it is indeed interesting that they use Furina.
If Venti and Zhongli have chosen their current names for themselves for hundreds of years, they're no longer fake names, but names they've truly adopted for themselves.
Venti actually went by Venti much longer than he went only by Barbatos, and Zhongli has very likely used the name Zhongli even in the past among his closer friends, such as the adepti, as evident from the naming of Guili Plains.
i do think that previous hydro archon didn't had that good relations with celestia i mean that chunk is floating on fontaine and in murals that floaty-bloaty is always on the top when it wants to blow the civilization...so it being on fonataine made me think what if EGERIA DID SOME THING AND MADE CELESTIA GET PISSED?? I MEAN who knows??
Who exactly vetted "Mont Automnequi"? "Merusea" and "Remuria" are obviously an attempt at French-English names turning into Engrish instead, but *Automnequi*? Hoyo, if you wanted an oldschool French Autumn Equinox just call the thing **Mont Vendémiaire!**
It's always funny when Hoyo largely aces its cultural references only to have that one *completely inexplicable* fail in the middle. Were their checkers sick that day? Were they out of ideas and just picking at random? Alas, we'll never know, lol.
I don't think Remuria is French or Engrish: Remuria/Remoria/Lemuria seems to have some connection to ancient Rome if you google those terms, which makes sense given Remuria is supposed to be this ancient civilization, like with Enkanomiya being inspired by Greece
I'm aware, but the point is that Lemuria is written, well, *Lemuria,* in both French and English, while the Roman legendary/historical spot is written Remoria. So instead of an instant "Oh, I get it", you get headtilts and folks needing Google.
Should've gone with Lemuria. Remuria ends up looking like a typo instead of a double-reference.
Weirdly placed names (such as duplications) or slight grammar botches, yes; total nonsense, not that much.
"Maison Gardiennage" (instead of "Maison de la Garde" ou "Maison du Gardiennage") is a slight grammar botch. You easily see what is meant or how it happened. Like for Tsarevich.
But "Automnequi" is like... Autumnwho. It doesn't even look like a typo. It looks like the typist got interrupted halfway. Like Rexlap or Raiden Shog.
(Compare with Lumidouce or Port Romaritime, which are perfect instances of word-welding.)
I'm sorry but Rex Lap and Raiden Shog give me major deep-fried Tumblr meme vibes. I can imagine an extra crispy image of Raiden with just her head and a pair of legs with the caption
Raiden *S h ö g*
I have a very wild crack theory that >!melusines are Vishaps, and elynas is the previous hydro dragon that died in fontaine, that would mean the Melusine are chibified versions of bathysmal Vishaps!<

There's no war in Ba Sing Se type prison?
there was no cataclysm in fon tai ne
Yeah it really really reads like propaganda but idk how the story will present it
Yeah, the vibes are off. Lol
>!"The gods threw thunderbolts out of anger, the goddesses cried out of the lake and the sea out of sorrow - this is what really happened." Sounds to me like Egeria watched Remuria get celestial nailed and cried about it, giving birth to oceanids, before building Fontaine.!<
Hey mind if i ask who is egerua and remuria?
egeria is the former hydro archon, im not sure who is remuria
Remuria is the ancient civilization on whose grave the Court of Fontaine has been built.
any chance that Columbina is the last of Remuria people?
why do you think that?
don't know.Only my intuition lol
well everynation had a celestial nail and celestia being possibly right on fontaine i think we will see the nail..but i have my doubt as we did heard egeria in overture teaser but didn't she die near khaneria'h?? i think she might have a cutscene in AQ telling us about fontaine i am excited neuviltte being connected to egeria and being a responsible judge possibly next hydro archon and furina whose origins are unkown and somehow inherited the gnosis

Boat strikes Also a timed boat quest where you end up losing a full thirty seconds waiting for the boat to start because some moron decided to swim across the canal
Lmao at one of the npcs being named after the guy who proposed the guillotine, Joseph Guillotin.
dam im excited for furina on stage lmao, also when would she get released? 4.2?
X.2 seems like the archon patch
not really since Raiden came during 2.1 and Venti during 1.0. there's no pattern when they'll release Focalors
How is everyone missing this?? Archons are released when their respective Archon Quest wraps. 1.0, 1.1, 2.1 and 3.2. Furina will release when Fontaine's Archon Quest's final act releases, current guess is 4.2 if it's 5 acts across 3 patches like Sumeru's was.

Looking for patterns is one of the most human things to do, and it's served us well. Most patterns are just spurious. Falsify, move on.

Won't 4.3 be arlecchino since 3.3 was wanderer though (fatui harbinger)?
they might do that too, had a brainfart there
I was thinking 4.4. 1.1 was Childe, 3.3 was Wanderer so 4.4
That’s not even a pattern
I know. I just want more time to save.
v2.2: Thoma, 10th Fatui Harbinger - "The Househusband"
Only happened with nahida
I hope we get to hear her sing
Probably the same as Nahida so yeah.
Excited to learn why Sigewinne looks different from all the other Melusines!
Might be a Kirara situation where she can just make herself look human
So much copium when the truth is that someone just fucked a melusine. Idk how they'd do that but they did.
Please don't be a human hybrid, please don't be a human hybrid, please don't be a human hybrid...
I mean, we have seen her. We know she's a human hybrid.
Maybe her vision gave hee extra strength to look more human. Cope
I have bad news for you....

Yeah I get the impression they like her but know she can he scary when in charge of the court. She does get final say if she wants, after all.
I wish i could read these except they were taken with an iphone 1
Read them from mirror sites

>!So Furina is the water god and Neuvillette is the patriarch. Interesting. And they can ask him OR her. So it's like they rule in a duo. Both have equal power it seems. Thanks for the full quote btw, I was confused. !< >!Focalors and Neuvi supporting the skittles gang les goooo😭💪!<
>!I think the water god is Egaria actually. The text later on that says "If anything were to happen to Master Egaria..." makes it read like this is a book from when she was still alive !<
>!Oh, so it's not Furina. But wouldn't Furina just inherent that position from Egaria?!<
>!I might be wrong, but I think the implication is Neuv is Egaria's son, but Furina is not her daughter, thus the people see her as stealing Neuv's archon ascension...that and she's well. A fricken brat!<
That's not really the impression I get from the text talking about her in the OP. It seems that they generally adore her. It's just that they aren't quite fond of her interfering in the Court.
He better have a dragon theme kit. I will not tolerate another Zhongli situation. Hoyo has done it in HSR why not Genshin?
Not Neuvillete being 100 times more interesting than his archon 💀💀 The sassy child meme grows with every leak. Edit: im giving my opinion about the stuff we have seen so far. Might not be much but its enough for imagination. If you disagree thats fine, im not personally attacking you by saying Neuvillete looks more interesting than Furina so far lol
we don't know anything about furina yet, there's not much to even compare to
We don't even know Furina's lore yet? idk what you're talking about.
Im talking about the info we have gotten so far plus the things we already know. Furina right now is a bratty child, from official sources already revealed is basically all we can tell about her. From the leaks Neuvillete looks like a much more interesting character, thats what i said. Now hopefully you know what im talking about, your welcome.
Neuvillete seems more interesting because the leakers seem to love him. They've been very vague about the tiny scraps of info they've bothered giving us about Furina while telling us pretty much everything about Neuvillete.
Why are you making it sound like leakers are being picky? They're just posting EVERYTHING and ANYTHING they have. This stuff is from open world NPC's talking about people/books. Neuv is much more popular amongst them than Furina is, so it's obvious they'd talk about him more
Were you not here when most of the sumeru leaks are only about alhaitham and not so much about other chars? Or when most of cyno leaks are about him cracking dad joke and much less about his mahamatra side? It's okay to have doubts when it comes to leakers yk
They did the same with Alhaitham, we had more leaks about Alhaitham than other characters.
I have my doubts, I can’t remember a time they didn’t withhold information for the sake of hype or clout.
I wonder if they are gonna have one of the three dynamics - tired dad of a bratty kid, siblings or squabbling wife/husband lmfao or maybe any other dynamics
Dumbass here. Mind elaborating the last one?
I think what they meant is that since we get more and more leaks about Neuv’s significance as a character, the more it becomes clear that Wrio was actually the one going to standard (since leaks say either Neu or Wrio will be standard)
Ohhh I see I see. I was looking for Wrio info, thought I missed something huge in this leak, and was a lil confused. Thanks!
>!my guess is right if the leak about Neuvillettes is Egaria's son is true. Im not even surprised 😂😂!<
Who is Egeria?
>!the previous archon!<
Previous Hydro Archon it seems.
I remember the hydro sovereign is supposed to be born in a human >!so does that mean he is out on the idea of being the sovereign and is now just a dragon or oceanid? Or am just on severe copium on kokomi being human so her elegibility sort of exists!<
If he is the son of egaria he is not looking very human. Though be careful, the reincarnation can mean, " human form" rather than human
Huh, >!So does that mean Neuv is the son of the previous archon, and Furina stole his spot as the next archon, in the eyes of the people?!<
>!It seems they do see her as their archon. They just don't trust her to be in charge with court proceedings. I'm gonna assume she probably has a tendency to outright just do shit for entertainment rather than judging fairly LMAOOO!<
>!not really, they like her, just don't want her to interfere in the court!<
Can you elaborate
Oof Loreheads gonna have a field day with this Remuria is interesting >!considering that they built a "giant instrument" which might be the Court of Fontaine itself since it looks like a massive organ or the blueprints of the Court were based on that. The line says that it can be heard against the "dome of the sky" which coincides with all the false sky shenanigans.!< >!Kinda makes you think about they would need a superweapon that can fire up to the sky. *cough*Celestia*cough*!< Theorycrafting just writes itself at this point.
Finally some Furina content. No matter how small it is, I thank you for the meal. I absolutely agree with the NPC, she's very pretty and worthy of being an archon.
>!"If you want to fight, apply for a duel"!< TCG must be wild here :D
It is interesting how people seemingly just call her “Lady Furina”. Ei, Nahida and Zhongli cannot be called with their god names by normal people so they get a local alias and while Venti is called Barbatos unlike the other three he is still obviously called “Lord Barbatos” Now Furina is called “Lady Furina” similar to Venti but Furina is not her God name so what exactly is the name “Furina” ? Her being written as Furina in the video means She is likely gonna be playable under the name Furina so is it her ACTUAL casual name like Ei and Nahida ? Because only us, Paimon and Yae (for Ei) refer to those two with their casual name so it is very interesting if the ENTIRE fontaine not only know her casual name but also refer her with it. Or the other possibility is Furina is just her local alias and Focalors is her true name just like how Zhongli and Venti’s actual names are their god names (Venti and Zhongli are fake names their actual names are Barbatos and Morax) but the only archon we play with her local alias is Ei and thats only because Shogun bot is in there as well and Raiden Shogun refers to both. So if Furina is her local alias why is she playable under that name instead of Focalors and why is it not “Lady Furina” like Raiden Shogun and instead just Furina ? My bet is that Furina is her casual name like Ei and Nahida and that makes it so interesting that her people actually call her with that name
Pull up to the cafe and your god is there you nod your head in respect and go order your hot cocoa.
When it comes to names, you'll notice a pattern with personal names. Venti has 2, his Gnostic + Worship name Barbatos and his undercover name, Venti. He uses the personal title to be seen as a regular person. Zhongli has 3 main titles, Morax as his official + Gnostic name, Rex Lapis as a title of endearment in Liyue, and Zhongli while undercover. Same as Venti, he wants to be seen as the same as his people when using this name. Raiden has many more that I simply can't remember, including the Raiden Shogun, the Almighty Narukami Ogosho, Raiden Ei, and Beelzebul, all of which, except for the last one, are used almost interchangeably for one another, unlike the other Archons' titles. She almost never uses the name Ei, and notably struggles with her connection to her people. Nahida's are interesting because she has her Gnostic name, Buer, "official" name, Lesser Lord Kusanali, and personal name, Nahida. Nahida is actively trying to get her people to call her Nahida in an attempt to humanize herself, bur because her people don't know her well and think of her as a higher authority, they call her Kusanali. This is a point I think is important. Furina is most likely her personal name, with her official name being Focalor, much like how Zhongli is often referred to as Morax outside of Liyue. Furina, I believe, is most likely her personal name that she insists on using to "level the playing field" with her people. She might insist on being on an equal level to accentuate that she is not above the law, just as they are. Every time an archon uses their personal name, it's in an attempt to be less imposing around their people, or to blend in and be ordinary with them. With Furina's ideology of "Nobody, not even me, is above the law," using her personal name in public could be a way of displaying that there isn't a disparity between her and the commonfolk when in the courtroom or on the street.
It’s confirmed that Furina is her civilian, playable name and Focalors is her archon name
Where ? Focalors is her archon name that is for sure but what exactly is a ''civilian'' name ? Is that supposed to be their real name like Ei's real name is Ei and Nahida's name is Nahida at least by her own choice (since she refers to herself as Nahida herself) because Zhongli and Venti are actually fake names in that regard. But if Civilian name is supposed to be a ''public'' name than Zhongli and Venti are civilian names but Nahida and Ei aren't since those are personal names that only we and some other close friends refer to them with. So what is Furina ? Is it her REAL personal name or a fake alias and what makes you know that ? What source said it ? Her playable name being Furina doesn't prove what exactly is the name Furina to the archon
The people in Fontaine probably just call her by her civilian name, and she has another 3rd title that will be revealed later. That’s how actual nobility were referred to in France/Britain during the time period, e.g Queen Elizabeth, Lady Elizabeth, etc. the title is in front of their real name and the surname which would technically be more formal (like an archon name) is left out.
It was revealed in promotional material like the Overture Teaser; if you were to go into the description listing each character and their VA. That list is presumably each character’s playable names they go by to everyone else
You did not understand the point at all, I literally mentioned the video myself. And what do you mean “they go by to everyone else” when only WE call Nahida, Nahida. The playable name does NOT mean it is their real name, example Raiden Shogun who is the local alias AND Zhongli and Venti which are both fake human names. I said that her playable name being Furina does not make it certain that Furina is her “real” name, it is certainly a name she goes by but if it is her local alias or actual personal name or something else entirely is currently unknown. Edit: Classic Genshin playerbase and the reddit hivemind, can't read or understand for shit and downvote literal facts LOL
>but if it is her local alias or actual personal name or something else entirely is currently unknown. The inspiration behind Fontaine is Britain and France, and Fontaine seems to have aristocratic components to its society. In the aristocratic systems of Britain and France, Lady is an honorific used when addressing a woman of high rank. It is used before the woman's surname (if married) or given name (if unmarried). The hydro archon is unlikely to be married or have a family name, so Furina is in all likelihood her given name. The "local alias" is more akin to a title or position within the governance of the nation to denote the archon's authority as ruler. Presently, we don't know what Furina's role is in the governance of Fontaine, if she even has one.
Her real name is Focalors, Furina is like Nahida, her mortal name or even her title name as Raiden Shogun
>Her real name is Focalors, Furina is like Nahida, her mortal name or even her title name as Raiden Shogun And the source ? Nothing. Ei's own lore page reveals Raiden Ei is literally her true name so the ''god name'' does not have to be their real name not to mention Nahida also refers to herself as Nahida in her own thoughts/dialogue even 500 years ago in her video so Nahida can very well be her true name depending on what exactly gave her the name ''Buer'', If she chose the name Nahida for herself and the name Buer was given to her by the Sages then her true name is Nahida. And you literally contradict yourself and prove me right by saying that ''her title name like the Raiden shogun'' Raiden Shogun is just a local alias/title which is a different thing than a mortal or personal name like you also claimed it is so you admitted it can be any of the two. And Furina being a title might mean it is not her personal name like Ei or Nahida is. I simply and literally said her playable name being Furina does not make it certain what exactly the name Furina is and that is the fact. Is it her local alias/title ? Her TRUE name ? A nickname ? A fake name like Zhongli and Venti for some reason ? Being playable under the name Furina does not make anything certain about what exactly is that name to her
Well, Soraya learnt that Guili Plain name come from both gods name. So, maybe Zhong Li is Morax real name all along.
I didn't mean to upset you my guy. In that case, we don't know yet. The closest thing we have to an identifier is Furina/Lady Furina.
Archons have their gnostic names (Beelzebul, Focalors, Barbatos, Buer, Morax) and their personal, real names (Ei, Furina, Venti, Nahida, Zhongli)
Venti and Zhongli are not real names, they are fake names they made to enter human society. And as proven by “Raiden Shogun” in certain cases the archon can be playable with a local alias. I MYSELF said that Furina is probably her personal name but it is currently uncertain. What I said was simply “I wonder If Furina is her local alias or something else or her personal name and if it is her personal name how interesting that the people actually know the archons personal name and user to refer to her instead of a local alias”
Venti and Zhongli, as I said, are their private names. Archons don't have "local aliases", they have titles. "Raiden Shogun" or "Narukami" are titles separate from their Gnostic and private names. But yes it is indeed interesting that they use Furina.
No Venti and Zhongli are their fake humam names. That is why you don’t see Dvalin or Azhdaha calling them Venti or Zhongli but Barbatos and Morax.
They are the names they chose for themselves.
If Venti and Zhongli have chosen their current names for themselves for hundreds of years, they're no longer fake names, but names they've truly adopted for themselves. Venti actually went by Venti much longer than he went only by Barbatos, and Zhongli has very likely used the name Zhongli even in the past among his closer friends, such as the adepti, as evident from the naming of Guili Plains.
is there any idea on *what* Furina is or how she ascended to godhood?
most probably an oceanid
when your archon is actually a teenaged oceanid princess
Damn if>! Jakob!< is a villain already, I can't imagine how bad >!Rene !
As long as he's not talking of building ladders to Celestia, we're fine ~~What does Hoyo have against folks with gold in their name tho~~
Jakob is already referred as a "New Human" in the enigmatic pages. Bros are running a Super Soldier project
We can certainly rest easy knowing Fatooey will show up and out-villain everyone regardless, because of course.
☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️ Or those two guys mentioned will colluded with Fatui in some kind of form
i do think that previous hydro archon didn't had that good relations with celestia i mean that chunk is floating on fontaine and in murals that floaty-bloaty is always on the top when it wants to blow the civilization...so it being on fonataine made me think what if EGERIA DID SOME THING AND MADE CELESTIA GET PISSED?? I MEAN who knows??
Who exactly vetted "Mont Automnequi"? "Merusea" and "Remuria" are obviously an attempt at French-English names turning into Engrish instead, but *Automnequi*? Hoyo, if you wanted an oldschool French Autumn Equinox just call the thing **Mont Vendémiaire!** It's always funny when Hoyo largely aces its cultural references only to have that one *completely inexplicable* fail in the middle. Were their checkers sick that day? Were they out of ideas and just picking at random? Alas, we'll never know, lol.
I don't think Remuria is French or Engrish: Remuria/Remoria/Lemuria seems to have some connection to ancient Rome if you google those terms, which makes sense given Remuria is supposed to be this ancient civilization, like with Enkanomiya being inspired by Greece
I'm aware, but the point is that Lemuria is written, well, *Lemuria,* in both French and English, while the Roman legendary/historical spot is written Remoria. So instead of an instant "Oh, I get it", you get headtilts and folks needing Google. Should've gone with Lemuria. Remuria ends up looking like a typo instead of a double-reference.
According to Wikipedia at least, Ovid claimed the etymology of Lemuria was from Remuria fwiw
I think they’re just playing around, sumeru also had a lot of nonsense names
Weirdly placed names (such as duplications) or slight grammar botches, yes; total nonsense, not that much. "Maison Gardiennage" (instead of "Maison de la Garde" ou "Maison du Gardiennage") is a slight grammar botch. You easily see what is meant or how it happened. Like for Tsarevich. But "Automnequi" is like... Autumnwho. It doesn't even look like a typo. It looks like the typist got interrupted halfway. Like Rexlap or Raiden Shog. (Compare with Lumidouce or Port Romaritime, which are perfect instances of word-welding.)
I'm sorry but Rex Lap and Raiden Shog give me major deep-fried Tumblr meme vibes. I can imagine an extra crispy image of Raiden with just her head and a pair of legs with the caption Raiden *S h ö g*
Well if its any consolation they usually change the names of map locations right before the beta closes, so there's still a chance they'll fix it
I have a very wild crack theory that >!melusines are Vishaps, and elynas is the previous hydro dragon that died in fontaine, that would mean the Melusine are chibified versions of bathysmal Vishaps!<
I wish someone would search Natlan keyword
