Some questions regarding the lore: (spoilers for Lantern Rite event)

So I have a few questions, if somebody could clear them that would be great. Also I apologize if the questions have already been asked, but to the best of my knowledge they haven't:

1.(Above image) So did the Archon war end a thousand or two thousand years ago (like what Ningguang said)

2.Who called Rerir the Racher of Solnari? Did they just give him the name in Khaenriah? Dain said he was called the ravager of the moon but also said he didn't know why he wanted the abyssal power, so somebody must have given him the name

3. As per [https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Shattered\_Moon\_-\_Sublimation](https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Shattered_Moon_-_Sublimation) Rerir's weapon when he lived in Khaenriah "glimmered with the power of Death". But where would an ordinary spy get Ronova's power from and why hasn't he paid the price?

1. The Archon War ended 2,700 years ago. A better translation for Zhongli would probably have been "millennia ago."
2. We don't know, but all of the Sinners have titles. It's likely a Khaenri'ahn thing, since "Rächer of Solnari" basically just means "Hunter of the Crimson Moon," which fits his job.
3. He doesn't have Ronova's powers. But all of the Sinners are meant to be reflections of the Heavenly Principles and the Shades (Hroptatyr is Reason, Rhinedottir is Life, Vedrfolnir is Time and Surtalogi is Space). That's why Rerir was introduced as "Blasphemy Against Death." I'm guessing that's for ending the lives of kids and such; murder is blasphemy against the Ruler of Death's power by giving them an untimely end.

Also he is frustratingly hard to kill, though that is presumably a feature shared by all sinners since it stems from the abyss.

Huh, I get the first. About the second, Dain called Rerir ravager of THE moon, idk how Rerir got a title from jumping random kids connected to it. Also as for the third, even though the sinner refers to Rerir, and calls him moon hunting, it says "in" an ancient land which refers to him as a Khaenriahn before becoming a sinner

Also calling murder blasphemy against Ronova seems a little extreme, like many people are murderers but they don't seem to be enemies to a shade. All the sinners weapons should glow with death but only Rerirs does even though all weapons are made to kill

Rerir got his title, which translates to "Moon hunter" due to him hunting survivors of the Crimson Moon Dynasty. It also relates much later to his obsession over the moons themselves due to loosing Tholindis, his lover(which abyss gaslit both lovers). As for being related to Renova, his title "Blasphemy Against Death" means he's breaking very laws Renova set down in every sinful, sacrilegious manner possible.

I understand the first point, ty. I seem to be confused on the ravager of THE moon part, clearly the crimson moon kids were not THE moon. Also the title had to have been granted before losing Tholindis since he was stuck in the moon's reflection for all those years, and nobody would know about his deeds there. Also even if he was related to Ronova his pre-sinner iteration weapon shouldn't have been, right?
