About the twins' arrival in Teyvat (spoilers: Song of the Welkin Moon Chapter Act 8)

[](https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Lore/?f=flair_name%3A%22Traveler%20%E2%9A%9C%EF%B8%8F%22)In act 8 of the Song of the Welkin Moon, it's revealed that the Travelers' spaceship has flew over Teyvat thousands of years ago, and barely came to a stop before going back on its journey for thousands of years.

I've seen people link the ship's AI to the heavenly principles based on the Traveler's new outfit. Would that be when the HP arrived in Teyvat, then? Though, why hide its own ship on the moon later on?

In the quest though, the Traveler wonders if their sibling has left the ship at that moment, thousands of years ago.

But that can't be right, right? Khaenri'ah couldn't have summoned the sibling thousands of years ago, the people whom our sibling met in Khaenri'ah 500 years ago couldn't possibly have been born. Is HoYo purposefully putting us on a wrong lead?

Or perhaps the sibling really did crash in Teyvat alone thousands of years ago, but was only founf nearly 500 years ago? Could their journey thousands of years ago be the reason why they lost their memory?

Watch the recent video of catwithbluehat about the true nature of the spaceship and how the traveler and the twin sibling wind up in teyvat and find it for yourself.

Khaenri'ah might well have been around thousands of years ago. 500ish years ago, the Eclipse Dynasty overthrew the Crimson Moon Dynasty - but we don't really know how long the Crimson Moon Dynasty was ruling Khaenri'ah before that.

We DO know that the Crimson Moon Dynasty were interested in Descenders, and even set up an organization to care for individuals who arrived on Teyvat from outside, in the hopes that one of them would turn out to be a Descender.

Perhaps they were the ones who originally summoned the Twins, and after taking over King Irmin capitalized on their success by bringing the Abyss Twin under his control.

We know from Arlecchino's Story Quest that the blood of the Crimson Moon can be used to erase memories. Perhaps King Irmin used that blood on the Abyss Twin in order to make them more cooperative. They might well have been hanging around with the Crimson Moon folks for a long time and simply forgot about it once their mind was wiped.

Wasn't it King Irmin who summoned the twin? That would mean he'd lived for thousands of years then

I don't think that it was ever stated that King Irmin summoned the twins - only that Khaenri'ah did. Players assumed it was Irmin because Irmin did all kinds of things with the twin (adopted them as prince/princess, proclaimed them savior, used them to harness the Abyss), but I don't think it's stated anywhere that Irmin himself summoned them, or even gave the command for the summoning to be performed.

If there's some lore bit that I missed, or have forgotten, that directly confirms that King Irmin was responsible for the summoning, please let me know!

We know two things Heavenly Principals did to the Twins

Sealed their powers And bude the ship outside the Teyvat on Frostmoon

If Heavenly Principals Is the Ai whose job was to Terraform And create new civilization for the Twins, why shouldn't they stop the Twins from leaving in anyway possible.

Their Space ship Is already beyond Firmament So they can't leave with it And because of their powers being Sealed they Are unable to leave on their own.
