Ever since the very beginning of the game, we've believed that the Anemo Gnosis was the Queen piece of a chess set while the Geo Gnosis was a Rook. Logically, that means every other Gnosis should follow that pattern.
But what if we're wrong about that? What if the Geo Gnosis ISN'T a rook, and the Anemo Gnosis ISN'T a Queen? Does it change anything?

A new book called Perinheri has a ridiculous amount of new and valuable information stuffed inside, each piece able to unravel or shed new light on an already existing mystery within the game - one of them being Arlecchino and her House of the Hearth.
This theory doesnt quite end up where youd expect it to. Part one of three? Maybe?

How about some bonus materials for theorizing? Heres a redemption code: SPAC2OI365XA
Cariberts explanation of the Loom of Fate really helps fill in the blanks for a lot of little things throughout the game. It feels kinda obvious in hindsight and boy, is this discovery satisfying!
...Providing my hypothesis is correct, of course. This is a theory, after all.

Level up your game time with the all new REDMAGIC Astra 2 Gaming Tablet: https://rmg.gg/a35fd5a7
Considering were six years into the game, and were in the nation of answers (Snezhnaya), I thought it would be good to compile Teyvats important historical events in chronological order. Im sure most of its gonna be important soon...
Right?
RIGHT!?
Note: Our knowledge of in-game events is in a constant state of flux, so this video is just a snapshot of my understanding of the lore as of version 7.0.
