![[5.0] NATLAN EXPLAINED! - Genshin Impact Lore & Theory @Ashikai](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/PR37UyWBK8o/maxresdefault.jpg)
Uploaded September 2024 | Updated September 2026, 4 days ago
Free materials with code: RNIF57C3MF58
With the release of 5.0, we've got the brand new region of Natlan to explore, and a whole lot of lore to go along with it. And with new lore comes new terminology and mysteries, so I thought now would be a great time to go over all these newfangled terms and mechanics. Of course, this stuff is still pretty new so there are a lot of gaps in our current knowledge that I have to fill in with a healthy dose of speculation. Hope you're ready for it!

This video covers the world quests released in Genshin Impact version 3.4: The Dirge of Bilqis and Apocalypse Lost as well as a very brief recap of the Golden Slumber. It also includes a chronological summary of all of the events surrounding the rise and fall of Gurabad - something that was alluded to within these quests, but in a non-sequential hard-to-follow way.

Honestly this is just thirty minutes of me trying to square the timeline when the timeline doesnt make sense (yet).
Hey Hoyo, how about you give us some more concrete dates, hm????
No timestamps. We morb like true lore-ists.

Remember when I used to stream? Me neither. Anyway, heres what I would have said on stream - if I streamed - but in a more coherent format, about the upcoming summer event patch and the brand new region of Natlan!
No timestamps, spoiler warnings, or citations this time. This is pure, unfiltered theorizing just like a stream. But without the streaming.
I should stream.")

This started out as a simple attempt to match up paths with the Titan Protocols. Since we knew 9/12 I figured filling in the last three would be pretty straight forward.
It wasnt.
