Heh,court etiquette is notoriously difficult to master.There are endless rules. Fortunately,Her Majesty isn’t a fan of all the excessive formalities,so she’s not
going to give you a hard time about that.

It is the only one of the seven Gnoses whose whereabouts are unknown.And reportedly,you were the last to see it
So while it may have joined the Ley Lines for now,it will one day be excised..
It’s okay,Danica.We must freely share whatever information we can disclose.Think of it not as the price we pay for cooperation,but the compensation we offer
The Gnoses possess a powerful elemental affinity,and are capable of amplifying their bearers power.
As such,if their potential is exploited to the fullest,many new possibilities emerge…including the power to transcend the limits of one’s authority.
You will be aware by now that the Shades of the Heavenly Principles,Life. Death,Time,and Space,are ubiquitous.Civilization is but a lie told to us by fate.

For this reason,long ago,she began storing each day’s memories using a transcription prism.
Much like the Stellar Linchpin,a transcription prism contains the power of the Third Descender.Both are therefore free from the influence of certain laws of Teyvat.
Objects like these are variables from beyond this world,brought to us by the Third Descender.They are indispensable tools in our fight against the Heavenly Principles.You will witness another use of the prism s shortly
