This iis technically part 2 of my Perilous Trail Quest Analysis that has been lumped in with my own extensive analysis of Genshin's Yakshas. We'll be going over what a Yaksha is, what they're based off of as a race, their history, each of the five foremost Yaksha individually, plus a deeper dive on Xiao, and a few small theories scattered throughout.
