SPOILERS for the 4.2 Archon Quest, "Masquerade of the Guilty" and the World Quest "Search in the Algae Sea" (the Narzissenkreuz Finale).

The Narzissenkreuz Ordo quest was very esoteric due to abstract language and riddlespeak. Who were MaryAnn and Lyris, and what happened to them? What was the plan of Rene and Jakob to avert the catastrophe of the World Formula? Most importantly, what is the Holy Blade of Narzissenkreuz, and how is "reason" made from soul, wish, memory, and persona?

Rene directly compares Traveler to the Holy Blade, and also makes a distinction that not all who come from beyond can be descenders... What is the implication of the similarities between Traveler, Descenders, and holy Blades, with regards to the gnosis?
And how does this go back to Kaeya and his pirate grandpa???
