[ the amber lord. the title is reminiscent to the way the people of teyvat worship, kaveh thinks. kaveh has never been particularly religious; you didn't have to be, he supposes, when you knew that god existed and did something important up in the echelons of the akademiya, but most importantly, kaveh hadn't gotten to where he had been today through any kind of blessing. a god's existence was similar to the knowledge that stars and planets existed - irrefutable fact, with clear impact on the world around you, but far away enough that it wasn't up to kaveh to determine what or how they led their lives. but nahida - she's different. or rather, the concept of nahida changed what kaveh had known about the fabric of existence, and knowing that, the title of the amber lord resonates.

both title and a job. priest-like, kaveh thinks, but in the way of the akademiya enacting nahida's will rather than in the sacrifices of the late deshretian era.

Well, no. [ even the thought of it is novel. kaveh's eyes gleam. ] But the Rtawahists - that is, the Darshan that is in charge of astrology and divinations of the future - have always theorised its possibility. But our world of Teyvat has vast quantities of unknown factors to begin with; it didn't seem like a priority to research other worlds when we haven't even gotten our own figured out. Though that seems like a bit of a point for regret, considering how little I know about our current situation.

So you're used to this sort of thing? This world-to-world business.
