After today's information, many of us have a multitude of questions: What will happen to Natlan? Where is the gnosis? What does the Captain have to do with it?

I don't know the answers to everything, but I want to try to understand what I saw and explain the "vanished" of pyro gnosis.

My thoughts: In usual form, gnosis is a material thing. Therefore, if it disappears but doesn't actually cease to exist, it will change form — from material to immaterial. In other words, it will become memories.

The only line of fate that could directly address the issue of gnosis is the line of Natlan.

We know that Natlan as a whole (including the NK and MJ) is currently disconnected from the Irminsul. Therefore, if the pyro gnosis has become memories, then it is located not in the leylines connected to the Irminsul, but in the NK.

Thanks to the Captain (and possibly the Loom of Fate), the NK has gained such influence that it can now communicate with natlanians anywhere in Teyvat — and therefore influence leylines everywhere.

It's like CapitanoVPN, bros

Theory summary: Gnosis currently resides in the NK in the form of memories. The burning of the Irminsul affected Natlan's fate line, causing a "rollback" in time and space. The only way to return the gnosis to material form is to resurrect with it.

What do you think?

We all know the common belief among genshin players that the fatui harbingers are ranked by strength.

What if I told you that Childe, who proposed this idea, is actually a poor storyteller who was deliberately misled?

So, Childe's story tells Pulcinella saw potential in him, but the youth's passion for destruction was too strong and needed to be controlled, so he was offered a career start from the very bottom. Tartaglia is an elite, yet young warrior, and the only thing he can do is fight. Everyone knew about this "flaw", and so, for Childe, brute force became the only tool with which he could prove his worth. This is one of the reasons why Ajax believes the harbingers are ranked by power.

But that's not all.

We know the influence of a name in the world of Teyvat. A name is a person's destiny. As the saying goes, as you name a ship, so it will sail. So it is with Ajax, whose name originally belonged to the third descender.

The fate of the descenders, as we know, is impossible to track. Probably Tsaritsa simply doesn't see Childe's fate because of his name. It turns out that the lowest rank for Ajax is not only a way to track the growth of his power, but also, in a way, a test of the significance of his destiny (?).

So, we finally smoothly approach the key topic of harbingers' rankings: destiny. Is it truly the key to the rank of harbingers?

Let's find out.

What is the real reason why the ranks don't change? Let's imagine Tsaritsa is a director, and the harbingers' ranks aren't positions, but rather their roles in the film.

Start from the beginning:

The Signora played her role as a diplomat, but died in the process. She had no other goals (or none are known). This means that in her film, Tsaritsa saw Rosaline merely as a tool for gathering gnosis.

Columbina played her role, gave up her last strength, but in the process, she was reborn as the Trilunar Goddess. This means that in her film, Tsaritsa saw her as a link between Teyvat and the Moon. Columbina didn't understand the value of her life, so Tsaritsa's goal was to ensure that Columbina realized who she truly was, her role in the world, and became an integral part of it, its new divine support.

If the Harbingers (Sandrone and Capitano) are behind the scenes, where it would seem that everything is over for them, but for some reason their roles (ranks) are not vacant, then this is a clear invitation to continue.

Based on role theory, it follows that Peruere didn't simply displace Crucabena, but rather proved that as an actor she is better suited to play the role of the father (mother) of the hearth. Columbina, in turn, would not be able to fill Zandik's role because she lacks the knowledge and abilities necessary for the role of "Dottore" unlike him. Likewise, Zandik would not be able to fill Thrain's role because he lacks the skills and knowledge necessary for the role of "Capitano"

All roles are not equivalent to one another and are predetermined for each harbinger individually, so role (rank) changes cannot occur between them. In other words, it is not the harbinger who chooses his role, but the role that chooses its harbinger.

So, for the harbingers to finally lose their rank, they must either fulfill their role in Tsaritsa's plan or be replaced by someone who can better fulfill their roles. These roles are secured not only by the harbingers' power, but by the potential of their destinies, which Tsaritsa was able to discern in each of them.

What does this mean for Capitano?

Well, as we see, his role still remains him, and it consists not of collecting gnosis, but of something much greater, which we can only guess about. I am certain that no one will be able to displace Thrain from his role as "Capitano," because he has something no one else has — his name, his own destiny, which he has already taken control of.
