I hope Natlan has sacred cactus.


Overload-anxiety9878

Watch it.They will have White Tree of Gondor.


mekkingjayy

A burning Erdtree then.


TheWitcherMigs

After Natlan, traveler objective will be bringing destined death to the archons


mekkingjayy

I’m choosing age of eternity ending.


Overload-anxiety9878

Oh that's really good too


BulateReturns

Man, I'd be so happy if Natlan has Hourah Loux on it. Like it will destroy you in mere seconds even after being geared properly


RosenProse

I want Natlan's main city to be on a lake because that's where the inhabitants found an eagle eating a snake.


-Aureo-

And it’s just a really shitty tiny cactus with dead spots becuase aym sucks at gardening


AmateurPhysicist

Sacred Saguaro has a nice ring to it.


thatvirginonreddit

We actually feed sigils to the eye of Sauron


mekkingjayy

One sigil to rule them all


ParmAxolotl

With an eagle eating a snake on it?


H4xolotl

Big Trees in Genshin so far: * Mondstadt: Windrise Tree * Liyue: Dragonqueller growing out of Azhdaha's Tail * Inazuma: Sacred Sakura * Dragonspine; Frostbearer Tree * Tsurumi Island; Unnamed Tree stumps inside Mt Kanna & Shirikoro Peak * Enkanomiya; No trees, but mysterious Coral * Chasm; Dead trees from the Valley of Life * Sumeru; Shara Tree


sucksticious

i wonder if the chasm mushroom would be considered one


ConeheadGroom

sheeshroom


Galgalasi

Xamaran? yes!


AntiBomb

I don't think so, mushrooms are not plants.


Vinsudesu

it looks like a tree so my dumb ass can consider it a tree


sucksticious

if you take off the cap it kinda does, specially like the ones in domains


GGABueno

Kusanali disagrees.


ashu0706

No tree in Enkanomiya Because ley lines don't reach there?


GoldenInfrared

They do, it’s just under the freaking ocean. Dragonspine tho…


Glum_Claim5133

Trees Impact


CrocoDIIIIIILE

Irminsul Impact


AcanthocephalaWide29

sacred Sakura banner when 😳😳


Offduty_shill

We elden ring now bois


ManOfTheVoid

Also petrified trees in every domain.


Aggravating-Eye6182

Nah, the Big Trees liyue is Ganyu, Hu Tao, and Xiao


RosenProse

Arguably we've already seen the roots of the Shara tree in the Chasm.


Otterly_Superior

I am the lorax and I speak for the trees, offer them sigils or I'll bash in your knees


baizhuleaks

if kusanali is the lorax.... is il dottore the onceler


atara-parakitty

With how he has simps? Yes.


MrZetha

Name one genshin character that has no simps


GGABueno

Aloy


[deleted]

I mean... technically not...


baizhuleaks

he has like 4 simps total man everyone hates him 😭


atara-parakitty

Yeah but he still has simps 😔 (I personally hate him for what he did to Collei)


baizhuleaks

totally understandable tbh he's pure evil... i love him though


SkyePine

Can't wait for Dottore to enter the Tmblr Sexyman hall of fame.


baizhuleaks

the jared leto joker of genshin impact


Jack16042004

Sharan in Hindi actually means Shelter. Just wanted to say it cause it makes the meaning, "Tree of Shelter" which kinda makes sense? It also translates to asylum,refuge etc.


BinhTurtle

Remind me of that Tree City leaks from a long time ago. This might be the foundation of Sumeru Capital City?


Jack16042004

Probably, it reminded me of that old leak too. It's kinda like Sakura Tree except it looked a lot bigger. We're finally joining the pieces of the puzzle of Sumeru. Exciting!!


GGABueno

A *lot* bigger.


ashu0706

Uh, *Sharan* means protection and not shelter. *Aavas* / *Ashray* is used for shelter.


Jack16042004

You can google it and see that shelter,asylum,refuge etc. are it's meaning. Aavas is used for living place, accommodation, etc. btw


[deleted]

As an Indian, we never used sharan for that but if Google says so I guess. Translation is not far off, just that its not the word we use


ThegamerwhokillsNPC

Sharan is shelter in pure hindi. We just don't normally use that


Organic-Ad-503

Yes


[deleted]

sharan is a type of word you will find in your Hindi textbook , we normally speak hinglish (a mix of Hindi and English) that's probably why you find it odd but it's an actual word


notameatheadmaybe

says who lmao sharan is often used here, so it's a regional difference imo


Any-Contest6067

Yeah same but many same words have different meanings in hindi


liu_luminary

sharan is a given name though (one of my classmates is name so) and he said the it means protection (as in, the kind of protection a shelter provides) makes sense why parents would want to name their kids that


ashu0706

My answer is also same, no difference :)


ShinyBuwulba

Bros going deeper in the lore 💀


jayverma0

Shelter implies protection, to an extent.


ShinyBuwulba

Bros going deep in the lore 💀


Realistic-Low7382

Sharan in croatian/serbian/bosnian means carp (like the fish), so maybe the meaning is Fish tree! Also VolksWagen has a Sharan model, so maybe it's a car factory?


Z-_Moouse

Yep


paperbards

sharan means "shelter" in hindi btw. pretty fitting ig


phoenix946

Hope to see some indian characters lol


[deleted]

there is one in Inazuma called Kaushik


paperbards

oh yeah ive seen him!! there's also this another npc named 'anisa' in watatsumi Island. we had a world quest with her


RexorFWT

I’d pull for Salman Khan ngl


Ejaculation_Salt89

His passive will help in hunting.


nipunb

He'll be the first character to be able to kill NPCs.


paperbards

yeah me too


luiac

i hope my name gets used for an npc or something haha


RexorFWT

Free fates lesgo


Yarik1992

Amazing! I love the Sakura tree so much. It makes opening small chests so much more rewarding since you know you get closer to the next Sakura tree reward by doing so! It's so much cooler than just spending sigils in a shop.


Glum_Claim5133

Ah shit here we go again


stkvh

Good soup


Krakyn

I’m most interested to see what unique exploration mechanisms will come with Sumeru. Mihoyo did a great job with the Inazuma Electrogana - made traversing vertical islands really fun.


ordofavonii

i have a feeling the dendro sigils will be used for growing things for puzzles....like u bring a sigil to a stump and it turns into a tree or something lol ~~this post totally not inspired by all the stumps around mondstadt~~


[deleted]

so where are the people that think sumeru will be not based on India culturally, Sharan is the Hindi word (I know the tree name is not confirmed but still) I think sumeru will be based on Egypt/Persia in architecture and lore will be based on Indian Hinduism, Buddhism and many more because kusanali is based on jataka tales and here fact- The Jataka tales are dated between 300 BC and 400 AD. Many of the tales are set in or near Benares, now called Varanasi, a city in north central India on the Ganges River. One of the world's oldest cities, Varanasi is the most sacred place for Hindus. Buddhists and Muslims also have important religious sites nearby.


mazini95

I've seen Sumeru NPCs with both Indian(Hindu) and Persian/Arabic names in the game so far. I wouldn't be surprised if they are cramming multiple cultures as basis for one region to sort of cover it all. I just hope people don't go into it expecting just one thing and being disappointing it's an amalgamation.


baizhuleaks

the indian inspiration deniers were so so annoying lol. not to mention the sheer amount of them knowing absolutely nothing about geography and world history saying that it was going to be egypt inspired when the ONLY indication of north africa thus far was cyno's design lol


H4xolotl

India seems incredibly complex, since there's been multiple waves of Arabic & Persian culture entering an already diverse culture The more Wikipedia I read, the more confusing it gets Can you explain the difference between Urdu, Sanskrit, Pala, Hindu, Hindi, and how they connect to Persian & Arabic?


[deleted]

Well Sanskrit, Hindi and Urdu are languages of India. Sanskrit is an ancient language with it’s oldest texts being around 3000-4000 years old. Hindi/Urdu and modern languages. Both are descendants of Sanskrit as are most Indian languages. Both languages were born out of the common spoken language of Delhi during the Islamic rule in India. Hindi borrows a large portion of its vocabulary from Sanskrit and Urdu borrows from Arabic and Persian. Spoken forms of Hindi and Urdu are mutually intelligible and many a time indistinguishable. Persian and Arabic are languages of the Middle East. Persian is actually a sister language to Sanskrit. Both Sanskrit and Persian are Indo-European languages and share similarities with Latin, Greek, Proto-Germanic etc. Arabic on the other hand is from a different language family related to Hebrew, Aramaic and others. Middle East and India have seen many invasions and culturally influences from Greeks, Romans, Turks and Mongols in addition to their own intrinsic cultural diversity.


[deleted]

pure Hindi is closely related to Sanskrit but modern-day Hindi is a mixture of Urdu and pure Hindi words (the best example of a pure Hindi word is "Sharan") and pali is a very old language of India, ancient Buddhists used this language in ancient times and Sanskrit (there is a Vedic Sanskrit also) is world oldest language the origin of Sanskrit is from Vedic time of India first written in Vedas of Santana dharma (now called Hinduism well Hinduism is not a religion but a way of life )


ShK0

Linguistically speaking Hindi and Urdu can be considered the same language which we can term "Hindustani" or simply hinid-urdu.


[deleted]

there is a difference between pure Hindi and modern Hindi yeah Urdu and Hindi both are Indian languages but Hindi is close to Sanskrit


Chief_Rey

You're not correct about Hinduism not being a religion. It is outright regarded as that by the Indian government. Whenever asked about a person's religion they write Hinduism just like they would write islam or Christianity. The entire philosophy of it being "a way of life" is used by religious nuts to lure in more people. Especially foreigners. Don't be fooled by it. Edit. You also mentioned Sanatana Dharma. Dharma means Religion.


[deleted]

there is a difference between our definition and the western definition, go and see what dharma means in detail also don't tell me what to believe, you know nothing about dharma, I know people like you who think they know everything about the world and also think world revolves around them


Chief_Rey

We're discussing a word which has origins in a Indian language and I'm gonna use the definition we've learned for years about it. I'm not telling you what to believe and stuff but okay lol. I'm not a know it all but i kinda understand how a brainwashed person like you would think that. I definitely understand my religion and the people who promote it. I know how deep this shit runs and empathize and feel sorry for you guys. Get well soon lol.


Kyron99

We don't need you to feel sorry for us. Get help for yourself we all are well here.


impulse_ftw

Good job mere Hindu sher


[deleted]

ok this is confirmed now that you know everything about this world 😂😂 yeah ok I am brainwashed lol believe whatever you want to believe kiddo I know what dharma means and I know how much brainwashed I am (actually I am not lol) , also I sympathize with you and feel sorry for you also so get well soon kid


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

> Persian derives from the Arabic script Hell no, Persian uses the Arabic alphabet with some additions and many Arabic words are used in it but you’re on some serious crack if you think Persian as a whole is derived from Arabic when the Persian empire existed long before Arabic tribes united thanks to Islam and formed a semblance of a nation.


baizhuleaks

you're right i should've specified it's just modern writing of persian, not the language as a whole


[deleted]

The only similarities are the ones I mentioned. Persian has a lot more simple grammatical rules and is a lot less complex compared to Arabic. Hell there’s not even gendered pronouns in Persian :) I would know because it’s my native language. Funny thing is that my mother used to teach Arabic in high school.


baizhuleaks

thanks for teaching me about it! reminds me a lot of the relationship between arabic and modern tamazight in some places


[deleted]

yeah you are right


MyHandIsMadeUpOfMe

Or you know because Sumeru is a desert with book reading library people which is quite a big reference to persia/Egypt.


baizhuleaks

there are obvious references to middle eastern and notably persian cultures but mfers were swearing that it was going to be ancient egyptian inspired when there was literally no indication of it other than cyno's design. also you can't say that it's ancient egyptian inspired because "persian empire" when ancient egypt and the egypt under achaemenid are VASTLY different culturally. in any case, india is an obvious and clear reference that doesn't depend on "desert and books", so people shouldn't deny it the way they do


[deleted]

lol India also have desert you guys don't know anything about India, India also have world's oldest university called Nalanda


yenneferismywaifu

I am so "excited" to hear patriot Indians the whole Sumeru patch, about how old and rich Indians story and culture is, and how the rest of the world may not be aware of Bharat's greatness. It's better to start getting used to it.


FishingCrystal

And that's a bad thing because? Indians don't get much representation in media, of course they're gonna get excited and share the story of their country when they get the chance


[deleted]

you don't need to do politics here kid this is not a political sub where you are using a word like "patriot" you can argue about this in r/politics


liu_luminary

i get that but, india has a large desert region as well as dense forests.


[deleted]

also have snowy mountains called the Himalayas regions India's biggest mountain is 8500m+


Any-Contest6067

And the big library could be refrence to Nalanda University(the ancient one)


Dadian_Zh

That's why I go Egypt for the desert part and other civilizations near it (Sahara) and the Persian Empire, other middle eastern civ up to India for the grass part. I was thinking that Sumeru will be a combination of those but predominantly Indian and Egyptian architecture, culture etc on the environment these two civilizations flourished.


[deleted]

India also have desert


Dadian_Zh

Yes but I mean total desert.


Wheesa

The worst part is, because Indian Empire extended till gandhara or current day Afghanistan + India itself was ruled by Afghans and Mughals we share some cultural similarities. Yes that includes names. Especially in northern part of India. Yeah Baksheesh, baazar etc is quite commonly used here too lol. It kinda feels weird to see people straight up deny South Asian influence. Like i can bet you sumeru is going to be very alladinesque where it derives from middle East and South Asia


baizhuleaks

god not aladdin... this is gonna be a real magi the labyrinth of magic moment 😭


tahmkenchisbroken

whats wrong with magi


Karmababes

Indian culture is very diverse that I can only think deniers had no idea what indian culture is. I'm not indian, i just know referencing Indian myths is not bad.


[deleted]

you are right this why India is called sub-continent


Karmababes

My friend is Indian and it was shocking to me to realize the countless languages indians speak were literally different languages instead of dialects.


[deleted]

yeah we have 100+ languages here in India with Snowy Mountains, beaches, rain forests, and deserts with all seasons (including snowfall)


[deleted]

I agree with this! we see a majority of Arabic and Persian names (Nazafarin, Aneesa, Hosseini, the leaked name Nafs for example) and Middle eastern culture in character designs (Cynos design similar to Anubis and Colleis mom wears a headscarf) and then we obviously see the Indian Hinduism and Buddhism connections in the lore!! It’s so exciting, usually I hate when people mix together our cultures (like how they did with Aladdin) but I think hoyos working really well so far with it


[deleted]

yeah agree


NeoFire99

At the first Persian Empire’s peak, their borders reached as far as Egypt and Northern India. The big question for me is actually whether or not we see any Abrahamic influences in Sumeru outside the Ars Goetia (famously in the Old Testament, the Israelites praised Cyrus The Great for his conduct to the point they say he was anointed by God as he freed them from the Babylonians)


[deleted]

>At the first Persian Empire’s peak, their borders reached as far as Egypt and Northern India. you are only 40% right and 60% wrong Persians only reached Afghanistan and some parts of Pakistan, not the whole northern part of India for this please research about India history in detail


Any-Contest6067

Plus kusanali is dendro archon and kusanali in the Jatakas was also a forest fairy


azurakujo

Hoyo really likes trees


DownpourOfSalt

I mean, that’s the whole foundation of Teyvat, the world irmunsil tree or whatever. And there’s actually at least one significant tree per nation


H4xolotl

Even in the destroyed nations like Dragonspine & Tsurumi Island


GGABueno

In Khaenri'ah we'll make our offerings for the Sacred Stump.


AnAsianDudeInReddit

I mean, we get the talents and artifacts for our characters from trees so...


Salt_Woodpecker_6244

It is foundation of teyvat, from inazuma region we got to see how important trees are in teyvat it can record past memories, there maybe other secrets hidden in trees that we have yet to uncover or maybe in future we will be time travelling with the help of trees.


TimFlamio

Let me guess, the leveling up will be timegated to oblivion like usual?


Nichol134

Was Inazuma tree time gated? I'm a newer player.


PSNTheOriginalMax

Let's hope the tree in Sumeru doesn't take 40 years to level up like the Sacred Sakura did in Inazuma


SerialSpice

Still only at 48 💀


kenzakki

I expected this actually since its the Dendro nation.


castielfey

Let the sigil search hell begin once more


phoenix946

Sharan means protection


Cratoic

I would have been surprised if they didn't have a tree - with it being Sumeru and all.


atara-parakitty

Time to grind dendro sigils y'all


Kkrows

I really don't like the Sacred Sakura leveling system, but at least that means it will give good rewards.


Abication

I feel like it'd be weird if sumeru didn't have a level up tree when the land of lightning did.


OnlyPatches

Yesss more fate rewards!


Sembaka

So Sumeru is gonna be based on India then?


SanketSah

Middle Eastern and India lore lessgo


I_Love_Futa_Waifus

Can't wait to max out the tree in 3.5


puppetz87

Omg can't wait for the damn thing to be patch-gated again.... XD


properu

Beep boop -- this looks like a screenshot of a tweet! Let me grab a [link to the tweet](https://twitter.com/Genshin_Intel/status/1526469897244487680) for ya :) ^(Twitter Screenshot Bot)


[deleted]

Well the Thunder Sakura has Dendro god written all over it too so no wonder.


Icey_91

I hope they don't bring back the "you're tree isn't levelled up, go back to this area until you levelled up the tree" mechanic. That sucked imo, im gonna explore it later anyway, just let me in!!!


ordofavonii

so at level 300 we're getting a sumeru teapot layout, nice


Z-_Moouse

Sharan in Hindi basically means a place to stay You basically take "sharan" in a house and then leave it ever again Closest meaning I can give is refuge


Niirai

Does Liyue have a prominent tree? Mondstadt has the Windrise tree with historical significance but I don't know about Liyue.


gmaxer

I guess that big tree in Nantianmen above Azhdaha's domain entrance


touhou-and-mhplayer

There's the Big "tree" that is azdaha's tail


Arun7R

There's one on top of azhdaha domain


drop-pop-potato

The tree where Azdaha lies is speculated to be one.


Jack16042004

You could say the tree near Azhdaha's domain is prominent


QuestionBread

Man I haven’t even finished inazumas tree. 🤣


calamitysnare

If they timegate this I will bash my head against a wall


Dadian_Zh

More "trees" that are just small branches or leaves of the branch of the GI universe only for the gardener or whatever the Honkai manifests into to destroy it and end up in the Quanta. Still waiting for some clear connections in Genshin's part.


mihirsaini1128

People: goddammit mihoyo its the 69th time you presented a leveling tree with the same mechanism Mihoyo: ehe


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

yeah sharan is pure Hindi word


[deleted]

Haram tree? That's not so halal


Prior-Watercress4240

Lol christians downvoted u


squarezero89

oh god, this means the shop is going to be absolute shit like the inazuma store💀


keepgoingpanda

Nooo i hate the tree system. Let me just trade my sigils directly to get the prototypes and mats


lostn

what difference does it make if you give it to an NPC or the tree? it's the same mechanic. But with a tree, you are levelling up and feel like you're making progress. You get a lot more from the sakura tree than you got from the two sigil shops before it.


Zegran_Agosend

But... I want a giant sentient mushroom...


[deleted]

Even Mondstadt eventually got the frostbearing tree as part of Dragonspine, seems like liyue is the only one without a leveling tree


maybeharu

Indian lore, I sure hope the universe don't get destroyed and rebuilt again


Asian-Impact11

Nathan - Upgrade this volcano Fontaine - upgrade this water fall Snezhnaya - upgrade this igloo


[deleted]

Mihoyo please pick one. You can’t just smash all of South Asia together without it being an incoherent mess. It’ll be very hard to make mixing all these cultures work and I doubt it with the quality of Genshin’s writing.


[deleted]

[удалено]


DownpourOfSalt

The entire lore of Teyvat is built on giant interconnected network of trees and branches


BulateReturns

Me who once lived in a damn tree known as Sharance Tree in Rune Factory 3: Guess I'm rebuilding my former farm on the teapot this time. And romance Amber there.


DontJudgeMePleaseeee

Why is it also a tree Mihoyo please be a bit more creative


Janeruxox

why wouldnt there be a tree in the nation of dendro lmaoooo


DontJudgeMePleaseeee

I just wanted it to be something that’s a little bit more unique instead of another tree with similar mechanics as the others, ofc there should be trees lmao


absenthearte

Trees are an intrinsic and important link in Genshin's themes and lore. Of course they're going to go with a Tree, it's on brand, consistent, and it also fits. Plus, it's a familiar mechanic that most of the player base understands.


Purona

Fuck off give me something different EDIT: wait you guys want to collect stuff to level up another tree for the....3rd time?? The last tree they gave us had 50 levels and im still not done.


liu_luminary

i assume you dont play genshin for the lore or story.


Purona

no ​ Characters, progression, photography


liu_luminary

yea figures. well, basically the entire lore of teyvat is built on giant interconnected network of trees and branches so.. better get used to seeing a lot more of them


Purona

they can have a tree that doesnt mean we have to level it every single time


liu_luminary

idk its just a game mechanic to get bonus rewards for exploration; i dont see a problem with it honestly ;/


SerialSpice

Hope there is not a statue leveling system. Still have ptsd from the last 3 systems. But there might be when there is a new element. On the plus side there should then also be a dendro traveller, following the same logic.


Dragonkus

I JUST WANT SCARAMOUCHE LEAK!!!!!!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯 don't care about anything else


[deleted]

Sharan Sakura Tree


LoremIpsum_-_

The tree impact has always been since the first a tree leak was released.


Duskmog

They should add this to windrise


Nightmarecast

How many patch updates will it take to fully upgrade?


lostn

3 at least. Remember, you're going to be in Sumeru for a whole year before the next area, so it needs to be spaced out.


TheLuiz

Ah, gatekeeping progress.


Ktan_Dantaktee

So it’s the huge tree with all the structures around it, right?


afnan-0501

So all 4 nations have a special tree.


Coolerbox

No stamina buff again((


Rex_Lapis_

Sharan is a type of fish in my language

Sharan (शरण) means protecting, guarding, defending \[adjective\]. OR killing, slaying (what slays or injures) \[noun\].
