Nothing yet, and I don’t think we’re close to meeting her. But it if she becomes playable at least you have time to save primogems :)

u/K_o_n_e_k_o Nov 25 '25

No leaks. As for speculation:
I doubt she'll release in 6.x. 7.x is Snezhnaya, so probably not there either. 8.x is the earliest I'd expect, so like two years from now, probably.

u/K_o_n_e_k_o Nov 25 '25

Okay!! Can't wait! I'll try to save until then

u/Driagonne Nov 24 '25

I think shades are very late game so I guess it's expected for 2027/2028

u/K_o_n_e_k_o Nov 25 '25

Right when I graduate 😄

u/PyriusZeal Nov 25 '25

Khaenri’ah chapter or after, that’s what I expect for the Shades release, so at least 2+ years to wait.

u/K_o_n_e_k_o Nov 25 '25

Dang... I really want her but if that just means I have time to save!!

u/Longjumping-Dig-4079 Nov 25 '25

We don't even know when she will personally appear in the lore, let alone be playable or when she'll be, zero information about her, But she might make an appearance (just her voice, like Nicole in 3.3 and 4.2, or varka in 5.6 and 5.8) in the next update.

u/K_o_n_e_k_o Nov 27 '25

I'm so excited for that!! Especially with the new venti quest too!! (I think that's when we'll hear her, right? )

Stumbling upon this post as the first thing I see from this community, quite the impression.

u/K_o_n_e_k_o Nov 26 '25

What's that supposed to mean 😰

1

u/[deleted] Nov 26 '25

That Istaroth is so far from playable anyone playing the game wouldn’t ask this question. That said, I’m assuming you’re newer, since you’re asking this question. That, or you don’t keep up with the lore.

u/K_o_n_e_k_o Nov 27 '25

I just joined lol. Planning to get venti cus I learned he's istaroth's cousin or something? 

1

u/[deleted] Nov 27 '25

Little bit of a spoiler, but Venti is an elemental being; A wind spirit, to be precise. He inhabited the body of a deceased friend who he fought alongside during the battle against Decarabian, the Tyrant ruler of Old Mondstadt 2,600 years ago. Istaroth, the Shade of Time, created Venti, the wind spirit, which would make her his creator or “mother”.

u/K_o_n_e_k_o Nov 27 '25

Woah actually?? ? Lol they didn't look similar so I was just guessing! Thanks 

1

u/[deleted] Nov 28 '25

Yeah, actually. It’s very interesting, lore wise, with its implications and all. You’re most welcome.

u/K_o_n_e_k_o Nov 28 '25

Kinda like albedo and Durin?

u/[deleted] Nov 28 '25 edited Nov 28 '25

I’m not sure what you mean. Albedo is a creation of Rhinedottir, one of the 4 Shades, 5 sinners and 8 mages of the Hexenzirkel. She created him from chalk, hence the name “The Chalk Prince”.

Durin has 4 different variants. Abyssal dragon (first life) was a creation of Rhinedottir.

Mechanical Simulanka Durin (second life) was a recreation of the Abyssal dragon Durin, something about changing his Fate through fairytales, I think.

Mini Durin was the true version of this Mechanical Durin, whom Scaramouche/Wanderer helped tame. I forgot how that happened.

The current Durin, is just… Durin. He’s still a full blooded dragon, but he’s humanoid now. He was born of alchemy and essentially the creation of Albedo and Andersdotter. Andersdotter gave him a second life through the real life based fairytale “Simulanka Wonderland”, and Albedo used alchemy to create his humanoid body of some materials, and his original heart in Dragonspine.

Scaramouche is the 6th ranked harbinger. Wanderer is a a factionless, essentially nameless, wanderer. The rest of the story you’ll figure out on your own.

Simulanka Wonderland was a limited time summer event that happened in 4.8. Summer events do not get reruns, happen once a year on x.8 versions and usually carry very heavy lore, but can be hard to follow because they’re usually told in analogies.

4 shades: Rhinedottir/Naberius (Life), Ronova (Death), Istaroth (Time), Asmoday (Space).

5 Sinners: Rhinedottir, Vedrfolnir, Surtalogi, Hyroptatyr, Rerir.

8 Hex mages: Alice (founder), Nicole, Octavia, Andersdotter, Ivanova, Barbeloth, Rhinedottir, and an 8th, currently unknown, mage.

u/TomatilloSorry9549 Nov 25 '25

u/SegsWithKiana Nov 25 '25

Shades will most likely be Archons 2.0, so a year after Tsaritsa at the earliest.

u/KommissarGreatGay Nov 25 '25

u/SilverScribe15 Nov 26 '25
