Genshin Ineffa: Dragon Civilization and Mystery of Origins

In Genshin Impact new version, many Travelers must be very interested in the background story of the new character "Ineffa." As a brand-new robot character, what story led to her creation? Which race is she connected to? Today, let's explore the story of Ineffa's origins together!

Ineffa and the Legacy of the Ancient Dragon Civilization

When researching Ineffa's character earlier, I speculated that this mechanical girl might be connected to Narukami's ancient dragon civilization. This point was confirmed in the 5.8 preview program: Ineffa's core is an artifact of secret source technology created by the dragon race. The "home" in the signal unconsciously emitted by the unconscious Ineffa does not refer to Nod-Krai, but to Narukami.

"Important memories of Ineffa are missing. Will this journey back to her homeland, Natlan, allow her to recover those memories? And would that even be a good thing?"

Since Ineffa set out and got closer to Natlan, riots by the Secret Source Automations have become more frequent-almost as if they are calling to each other. This indicates a close connection between Ineffa and Ancient Dragon technology, and her authority level is quite high...

Ineffa's origins seem to be connected to a former Dragon Sovereign Lord. Based on dialogue in the PV, this Lord is likely Ix Ajkotz'i'j Iq'ismal Waxak, the eighth seat among the Thirteen Sovereign Lords. She is the Dragon Matriarch who raised the founder of the Flower-Feather Clan, the human hero Lianca. Lianca's lifelong ideals of supporting the weak and fostering coexistence between humans and dragons originated from this Matriarch's teachings. Even the clan's name, "Flower-Feather Clan," derives from the Matriarch's title, "Priestess of Floral Candles and Skyborne Feathers."

However, according to the Dragon Council records we found in the Ancient Sacred Mountain, this Dragon Matriarch should have long been dead—not on the battlefield of the human-dragon war, but executed by a vote of her own kin.

At a critical juncture when the war was dire and the Holy City was on the verge of collapse, the CL-12 "Murmuring Spring" Ix Roq'ratik'obala' Ka'alahun initiated a motion to execute the Eighth Seat on charges of treason. Several Supreme Lords had long despised the CL-08's protection of humans, seeing her as a thorn in their side. With Lianca following Hibarak to attack the dragon race, the Twelfth Seat finally seized the chance to eliminate the Eighth Seat. The weapon (Chain Breaker) forged by dragon craftsmen under the Matriarch's order for Lianca became "ironclad evidence" of her betrayal.

Facing the accusations, the Eighth Seat never backed down, still calling Lianca her "proud daughter." Although some Lords tried desperately to protect the Eighth Seat, the resolution was ultimately pushed through by a faction led by the Twelfth Seat. This loving Dragon Matriarch finally fell under the blades of her own kin.

Regarding the "Matriarch may still be alive" hint in the new version PV, the possibility that the Eighth Seat escaped execution and survived in physical form to this day is practically zero (after all, even the "Sage of the Stolen Flame," Kukulkan, has burned out). The only plausible explanation is that back then, with the help of sympathetic colleagues, she underwent a life pyro-fossilization process-similar to the Ninth Seat "Chronicler of the End Times" Ix Uxul Tz'ib Bolon and the Fourth Seat "Hermit of Myriad Fates" Aj Awaj K'umilal Kan-transferring her consciousness and memories into hardware, allowing her to endure as a "digital lifeform."

However, I do not believe that Ineffa is a transformed and amnesiac Dragon Sovereign Lord. Instead, she seems more likely to have been created by Lianca's Matriarch for other reasons.

It is not surprising that the dragon race could create an advanced automaton like Ineffa. After all, the ancient dragon civilization possessed highly developed technology-they had already stepped into the interstellar age, built miraculous projects like space elevators, and used super AI to manage vast cities and automate production, all commonplace for them. What truly feels remarkable is that Ineffa has a human-like form. It seems unlikely that any Lord other than the Matriarch, who deeply cherished humans, would willingly create such a being.

The second paragraph of Ineffa's character commentary, once enigmatic, can now be confirmed as authored by Lianca:

Lianca's tone is like worrying about her own sister traveling far away. If Ineffa was indeed created by the Dragon Matriarch, it would perfectly explain this special affection Lianca holds for her.

After millennia, Ineffa returning to her homeland and drifting back to the Flower-Feather Clan, her starting point long ago, can only be called a twist of fate.

Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that Ineffa was created by another Lord-or even by the Fire Dragon Lord Xiuhcoatl himself. The biggest question remains: for what purpose did the dragon race create her back then, and what mission did she set out to accomplish?

In any case, the scenes related to Ineffa in the PV are explosive (though completely unpredictable). We can only wait for the story to unveil the significant secrets buried within Ineffa and reveal the truth behind that sealed chapter of ancient dragon civilization.

That's all the background story about the new character "Ineffa". I believe this will surely answer your questions, Travelers! Of course, there are still countless untold stories about her. Let's anticipate and explore them together! And don't miss our future articles and fun in-site merchandise.
