so a thing that caught my eye was this scene implying that the traveler should have some suspicions over the archons and the gods. The gods in celestia definitely, but the archons were another story

The archons [mostly from venti] attitude towards celestia was always portrayed very negatively and tsaritsa despises them so much that burning everything to the ground seems the best option

So the Gods of Celestia were the ones to corrupt Khaenriah and not the archons [but how sure can we be of that??] So what were the archons doing 500 years ago??

The Sumeru Archon died that same year; We dont have much information about the Geo Archon on this time besides the chasm but we have a lot about the Anemo archon but this is where it gets a little bit messy,,,

when Khaenriah fell through corruption by the gods, it corrupted Gold the Alchemist who then corrupted Durin and wreaked havoc in mondstadt, which prompted the Anemo Archon to “awoken” and send Dvalin. The keyword here is “awoken”

That would mean that Venti only awoken AFTER khaenriah already fell down and the people got corrupted which would prove they have no direct connection to the fall

further to prove this are these lines which means he really did rise just for dvalin and the people and not for celestia

now the tricky thing here is that Dainsleif says this when talking about Venti in the miscellany meaning that he met the anemo archon 500 years ago but when and where?: https://twitter.com/qingxinq/status/1341724410487529473?s=20

And not to mention now that its confirmed that the traveler actually DID wake up 500 years ago as well. This line doesn’t seem that strange anymore:
but again when did they meet?

i think i also need to mention that its still UNCLEAR who gives out the visions if its the elemental archon, nation archon or if celestia themselves so far theres a lot of info that contradict each other and none of the 3 are actually fully canon

additionally: archons are still aligned with celestia even if they are pawns of it or they oppose it they are still very much connected to it so they might not be directly responsible for the destruction but they did allow it to happen
