[SPOILER] Questions abt the 6.3 archon quest

So I just finished the new aq and i have SO MANY questions... When Dottore during our last fight w him slit open the fake sky and when arle, nicole and varka were pulling the frost moon closer to teyvat, WHERE WERE THE SHADES? Surely they must have noticed this and also that dottore technically had a trilunar authority? Why did the shade of space intervened when the traveler and the twin were trying to get out of teyvat but ignored this huge thing that could technically destroy teyvat?

Also, the HP kind of destroyed 2 of the moons and the mood goddesses w them but how could they let Columbina become a trilunar goddess? Clearly they didn't want the 3 moons and that's why they put a fake moon in the fake sky after the war of funerary flames

I mean it doesn't make any sense AT ALL?

I mean, the HP is kinda sleeping. Too busy pondering why life slumbers to bother with anything that's happening outside. The shades probably didn't do anything, because its implied that the Hexenzirkel was busy with something that Dottore caused on the borders of Teyvat. The Hexenzirkel includes one of the shades, Rhinedottir, so it could probably be assumed that all the shades were involved in it.

I mean I guess, but still Rhinedottir is only one out of the current 3 shades so if the shade of death said that they will have to act personally on the affairs of teyvat now, why then didn't the remaining two (istaroth and ronova) do something about all of this?

HP destroying the moon not because they hate the moon/goddess, but because the 3 moon was used as weapon by Nibelung. HP actually letting the 3 moon continue their job when they take over Teyvat.

HP was also never credited for destroying them.

HP moved them out of the firmament, we always assumed that HP did destroy them.

But now we know that the 2 that got destroyed gave their authority to Columbina who represents the only moon that survived/ the Frostmoon only survied because it had a moon goddes with authority.

Riersa2026-01-28 06:36

I think it simpler than that, weapon destroyed in a fight between 2 extremely powerful individual is normal. If HP specifically trying to destroy the moon they won't spare the last one.

"I mean it doesn't make any sense AT ALL?"

Welcome to Genshin Impact, where players have to fix argument flaws with far fetched theories for this to make sense.

Pick the explanation you like the most, the HP were too busy or sleeping, the shades were playing cards and didn´t notice or maybe Dottore placed some kind of spell to keep this hidden from the HP and their shades.

a lot of things still dont make sense since the story isn't finished.

it didn't made sense why harry potter was "the chosen one" up until the last books anyway.

Considering that the Heavenly Principles was responsible for transferring the ship on to the frost moon. Perhaps that was what it intended to use the moons for. So it needed to preserve one.

Considering that Dotorre may have survived, perhaps we will see the shades deal with Dotorre in an off Traveler's screen animation.

Considering they allowed the frost moon to reenter the firmament and reviving Columbina, perhaps that is the effect of the world formula altering the fate of the world. The shades did not have to intervene.

Considering that the Heavenly Principles reshaped Teyvat to become the Traveler's new home, why would they allow the twins to leave?

maybe because:

the shades were not told the detail of HP‘s plan: why humans were created?, why the elemental authority were given to gods (not shades)?, what the purpose of distributing vision?, etc etc…

now HP is sleeping, the shades cannot acts freely because it might interupt HP’s plan. they can only uphold the old rules, like the punishment on khaenriah (when talking to capitano).

in the teaser ‘god limit’, the shades create sub space with human in it, maybe for them to guess what actually HP’s plan is. the experiment failed, and the shades destroyed the sub space.

They intervened in Khaenriah but surely Dottore's doings and the splitting of the false sky for all of teyvat to see has to be so much worse? Even Nicole said that bringing the moon closer and through the firmament made teyvat more noticeable for the rest of the universe and I assume also the Abyss

Arsyl262026-01-28 12:34

no i mean, intervened in khaenriah was ordered by HP when he still awake. so the shades know that doing that will not messed HP plan. but, what if all Fatui actions still within HP expectation or part of HP plan? if human can somehow divine the fate, surely the god in heaven can do better than that.

if abyss is the main calamity / villain in genshin, since it can even corrupted nibelung, even without dottore splitting the false sky, the abyss are already within teyvat.

not to mention after the fight with dottore, alice and the mages are more concerned about the realm border than the false sky.

Do we KNOW HP was awake at this point? I assumed that it went to sleep after the Archon War, once the Archons were established and the Gnosis and Vision system (which HP set up as a replacement for its own authority) was in full swing.

Has HP been explicitly stated to have done ANYTHING in the time between the Archon War and the present?

At the time of Khaenri'ah, Asmoday introduced herself as "the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles". That implies that the Shades had already taken over HP's duties. The Cataclysm most likely fell under the category of "stuff we're allowed to get involved with". For whatever reason, "restoring the moon's authority" and "restoring a Dragon Sovereign's authority" are NOT.

Arsyl262026-01-28 17:57

didn't columbina said that HP is the one that hide traveler spaceship?

Neospanner2026-01-28 19:24

Perhaps - but that COULD mean "the Shades acting on behalf of the Heavenly Principles". If it was the HP's orders, it's still technically the HP, even if the HP doesn't do the moving itself.

Arsyl262026-01-28 19:36

even if that the case, the order should come sometime when the khaenriah calamity happened, instead of HP give order at the end of archon war, get to sleep, then shade carried out that order 1500 years later? after the crash, the spaceship was left at crash site for a long time.
