Who Is Kumyo Kyo?
Kumyo Kyo was one of the Sovereigns who ruled the Old World, each holding a pair of opposing principles. His were Reality and Illusion. He is the elder brother of Darsea, another Sovereign.
His appearance stands out: a young blond man carrying a parasol. Many players have noticed he looks a lot like Aether, the male Traveler from Genshin Impact.
Kumyo Kyo and the World-Ender
His most important act was a promise kept. For his sister, Kumyo Kyo sealed the World-Ender within the Plane of Illusion. The World-Ender is the force tied to the end of the Old World. Victus beat it seven times, and Amstradath‘s pact made it immortal.
After the Sundering, Kumyo Kyo vanished. Where he went, and whether the seal still holds, are open questions in the story so far.
