Let’s enter the land of Dendro and Wisdom - Sumeru!

I am super excited to be exploring this place! The landscape is so lush and vibrant in the rainforest… And we get to meet Collei and Tighnari too! I’m glad that Collei’s story has an important role in the main storyline. I think she’s a wonderful cinnamon roll character and must be protected at all costs! I didn’t know that her original disease wasn’t cured, after the purged the evil god remnants from her that the Fatui experimented with. We’ve got to do all we can to support her as her good friends!

What is happening with Irminsul... why do I get the feeling it was reaching out to us, not the other way around...

Shortly after the 3.0 Special Program, I made a Tweet Thread with some thoughts/predictions about the whole situation in Sumeru, which I'll include below as well:

I’ve been thinking a bit about how there could be similarities between Ei and Kusanali.

This is just a prediction at this point, but I’m thinking about how in Inazuma, we learned about the two-folded nature of the ideal of eternity. What if wisdom, too, has a role that is much more complex than we’re inclined to see? (Thread I guess)

In the Raiden Shogun’s second story quest, we learn about the ideals of eternity held by Ei and her sister. Ei’s idea of eternity is what we’re more used to expecting, regarding time never ending and things staying still. Makoto’s idea was more profound and harder to explain, having to do with the idea that eternity was the collection of moments, each one as precious as another, and that all should be cherished.

What if it’s something similar in Sumeru? The trailer indicates that the previous archon of Sumeru was also the God of Wisdom. The sages don’t seem too happy now that their old archon is gone. Rukkhadevata created a city that was an oasis of knowledge and studying, but now the people in Sumeru have an archon that seems more childlike and innocent. Perhaps they are caught in more traditional ideas of what wisdom means, that it comes from experience and years of life, and a younger archon cannot provide the same “wisdom” that the previous one did.

But in reality, isn’t there something to be learned from the innocence of a child? We can learn a lot from them because their worldviews aren’t as strict as adults, and they perceive the world with an openness that is hard to keep as you grow. Is that not in itself another form of wisdom?

The element of lightning is fleeting and doesn't last long. This aligns more closely with Makoto's ideal of eternity. A similar comparison could be made between the old and new Dendro Archons. Dendro represents life. The old Dendro Archon was like an old tree, a pillar that provided support to her people in their pursuit of knowledge. But the new Dendro Archon is like a new sprout, emerging in the world for the first time. Similar to Electro, the Dendro element also has a duality in nature.

I wonder what’s gonna happen in the story. I’m super excited to learn the reasons for all the chaos that have been happening in Sumeru and explore the beautiful landscape and meet all the new characters. These are just a few thoughts in my head.
