MAJOR MAJOR MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE NEW WORLD QUEST “THE DIRGE OF BILQIS” BELOW.
Like seriously do not read unless you finished it bc you will pee yourself. I’m warning you.
Jeht cannot catch a break. It’s really no surprise to me that Matriarch Babel used the Fatui to gain her status, but to use Jeht as an assassin and lie to her, telling her that the people she killed were traitors and not her fellow tribesmen is insane. I am terrified of when the game will allow us to bring this up to Babel and Jeht. Knowing that Jeht didn’t have to kill anyone, especially her ‘brother’ Azariq. Babel and Azariq were in the collusion together, but I suspect that he caught feelings for Jeht and in turn began plotting to betray Babel, hence why she wasn’t upset that he was murdered.
This letter also mentions that not all of the other 8 elders were killed, so maybe we’ll run into them in later world quests? I wonder, after falling through with so many people and being unable to trust none of them, in the upcoming breaking point with Babel, will Jeht start to question us too? We’ve just so happened to be present at every moment which she is deceived. Oh Jeht, you poor girl.

Jeht: Trails of Betrayal and Babel's Gaslighting
© Hoyoverse
Content Warning: Mentions of gaslighting. Contains spoilers on world quest after The Dirge of Birqis. I forgot the name.
Liloupar, the Jinni in the bottle, told us that Jeht is someone we must protect. At that time, I had no idea what she meant. Sure, Jeht was a dear friend and a valued ally. But I didn't realize back then that what she meant was far more sinister.
When we last left her, she has found her home within the Tanit tribe. As the trusted subordinate of the matriarch Babel, she was responsible for executing those who were deemed traitors to the tribe. At first, Jeht obeyed the matriarch's orders without complaints. She executed Aderfi for his collaboration with the Fatui. Then she executed Azariq for the same crime. But when Babel told her of our supposed treachery, Jeht refused to do the deed. She knew deep in her heart that we would never do such a thing. But Babel claimed that it was true, sending Jeht to hunt us down. The worst part is, she told us that Jeht was the one who had gone rogue.
I had my suspicions of Babel from the very beginning. When I first saw her, something about her ring my alarm bells. Her display of maternal affection was not genuine, but a ploy to manipulate those around her. She will not stop until she gets what she wants, even if it means dirtying her own hands with the blood of her fellow elders. She got rid of them pretty quickly in order to consolidate her power within the tribe. Jeht began to suspect Babel after we told her of our conversation with her.
During the confrontation, Babel tried to turn Jeht against us, telling her that we are the traitors. She pitted us against Jeht, reminding her that the Tanit tribe is her family. But Jeht, fiercely loyal and lovable Jeht, refused to fall for her lies any longer. Once Babel realized she could no longer control her, she immediately turned on her, calling her a filthy outsider and ordered her men to kill her.
The confrontation with Babel and the entire tribe turning on Jeht was heartbreaking. She thought she finally found a home to go to, only for it to be taken from her. Once again, she was all alone. Not only that, Babel sent scouts around the desert, informing the Eremites that Jeht is dangerous and untrustworthy. By spreading this rumors about Jeht, Babel screwed her over and ruin her socially. After all, no Eremite would dare to help someone who was branded a "traitor" by their own tribe. By isolating her from the rest of her fellow Eremites, Babel punished Jeht and called her an ungrateful child. This is a tactic used by abusers to isolate their victims to make them more reliant on the abuser. Even Babel's maternal personality was just a ruse. And once she deemed you're no longer useful, she will get rid of you.
To be honest, I really feel bad for Jeht. She was declared an outcast by the mother she thought she could trust and screwed her over by spreading false rumors about her. That, ladies and gentlemen, is what you call toxic parenting.
Despite what happened to her, Jeht remained strong. She took her mother's name and used it for herself. She even declared that she will found a tribe of her own. The only thing I could do for her is pray for her happiness. Wherever she is now, I hope that Jebrael and Ufairah are proud of their little girl. In the coming version 3.5, I hope we see Jeht again and go on adventures with her. She could use a hug.

Long rant regarding Sumeru's longest questline (golden slumbers -> her foes rage like great waters)
This is a weird place to share my thoughts on a Genshin world quest but it's not like i really use any other platform.
So, Jeht from Genshin impact, Sumeru's longest running world quest line.
Never thought I'd ever say this but hyv's writing has gotten to a point where i am happy to say that i felt true dread (in the best way, as intended by the writers, probably)
Spoilers for "golden slumbers", all the way up to "her foes rage like great waters". And it's a really long wall of text, not intended for anyone to read, but if u need to scream about that questline, feel free to join me. I feel like I'm screaming into the void rn. No one i know cares about the story or is caught up as far as i am
Most people have like an npc that made them cry in Genshin. To a lot of people it's teppei from the inazuma archon quest. For me, it was Jeht.
The golden slumbers quest started really slowly for me but i needed the primos for upcoming banners, so naturally i rushed through it.
I'm really glad to have been playing while eating lunch because i was still able to skim the dialogue and find the traveller building a relationship with Jeht and her father. I didn't cry when her father died, though. It certainly did leave a sinking feeling in my chest with how raw jehts emotions were then but in the end, i took the primos and dipped
After a few updates, hyv added a new part of the desert and i entered the tanit camps and unexpectedly met jeht again, who was slowly trying to settle into a new community. Matriarch babel set off warning bells the first time i met her, sending jeht to hunt traitors of their tribe in cold blood. I was like "what the fuck? That's pretty dark for a game like this, they didn't even shy away from the descriptions".
We do the story line, meet some people of the tribe, make acquaintances, all is well.
Until Jeht was inevitably betrayed by the very man she built up so much trust with since rejoining the tanit. Its not that some guy tryna force marriage onto a women is shocking, it's the fact that it was done in Genshin impact. It was just unexpected, but the best part is, jeht did not shy away from killing that man (someone she saw as a brother at first) in cold blood as soon as his betrayal was revealed. And then later she kills another tribesmember finding out that he also betrayed them
Oh and somewhere in between, we come close to finding that babel has set up jeht for betrayal as well, but the matriarch smartly covers it up. Truthfully, i did not trust her.
Anyway at this point i was like man this girl takes zero shit. The story goes on, you find that eternal oasis, and Jeht gets to leave remnants of her parents there as their final resting place. At this point, i started feeling emotionally connected to Jeht, and it warmed my heart so much that her parents could stay together in a place they dedicated their life to finding
Quest ends there, after reporting back to matriarch babel. Nearly a month later, because i haven't returned to the tanit camps since, i find that Jeht reappears with another quest. I happily talk to her, and she wanted to retrieve benben (the cute little pyramid robot) to fix him up. We do exactly that.
There was this weird interlude where you meet another woman who was basically groomed into being a mindless killing machine by her own father, which began instilling a sense of dread in my stomach, and later you're forced to kill her, to which i then started feeling like REALLY uneasy. And not only that, i also lose liloupar, the jinni jar that had stuck with us for a good while, and this build up of losing people left and right started getting to me.
I didn't think about it at first when i was playing but at this point i was cutting through each part of the quest with impatience and hyper focus. I even resorted to using my best team (floor 12 spiral level of efficiency) because i couldn't stand taking my time to get used newer team comps
We're told to do some investigation and such which eventually leads to clues of jeht's betrayal. Babel then sends US. US, THE FUCKINF TRAVELLER to hunt down jeht and my god i was scared I'd have to kill her like i did with that poor falcon girl. There were just so many deaths flags present
Investigation goes on, i find out that the motherfucking fatui had a hand in this, that jeht was sold out and captured by them. Mind you, i had no issues with the fatui, if anything they were a minor nuisance. But in the moment, i never thought i could muster so much hate towards a ragtag team of stupid, visionless scoundrels.
Even the ones that were begging for mercy and giving us information- i wanted to cut him up so bad regardless of his pleas for innocence. Even the traveller themselves and paimon began getting straight to the point. They took no shit from anyone they crossed paths with. This build up, the death flags, the climbing desperation that traveller and paimon began to exhibit, and even the notes/descriptions that defeated fatui gave us, it built up such a sickening pit of dread in my stomach that the moment i finally found Jeht displayed on my damn scream i actually slumped on my chair and sighed in relief.
I was just so thankful that i didn't have to kill her. But if anything, i was more scared of how much rage she showed after killing tribesmen sent after us. It turns out babel had set us up so that we would be pitted against Jeht (which of course didn't happen) and the climax includes Jeht confronting babel, and giving her no time to talk because she openly admitted to scheming against both traveller and jeht.
In the end, babel fell like all the open world enemies we kill- ended in cold blood. Jeht didn't hesitate, not even in her in-game posture or the dialogue. She told babel she would kill her, and she did exactly that, no hesitation whatsoever.
And i almost cried seeing the empty tanit camps. I thought Jeht would be all alone again, until benben showed up. At this point it was like three in the morning and i was on a voice call with a friend that didn't even play Genshin, and i almost cried to him about jeht.
All in all, hyv's storytelling has clearly improved by an insane amount since inazuma (the chasm and enkanomiya kind of counted i guess, it's stories were actually quite intriguing). I won't say inazuma was a total disaster because i will admit, i enjoyed the overall story, it was just the execution of it that was a let down.
But sumeru's archon quest had me on the edge of my seat. And Sumeru's longest world questline rivalled the sacred sakura's questline as well as ruu's questline (which says a lot because in my experience, ruu and kazari were the most memorable npcs)
I honest to God have never once played a game that captured my heart so earnestly before. I was literally sweating nervously the entire time at the end. I felt the anger and the dread and the worry that hyv most likely intended for the player to feel when we desperately searched for jeht to its fullest.
I wasn't expecting an immature, bratty and outspoken npc like jeht to capture my attention. There were a lot of ups and downs with our relationship as the traveller with her, and against all odds, we still remained close friends. I don't care that she's a bunch of pixels on my laptop. I don't care that this is a questline with a definitive end. I'm just glad that jehts free to roam as she pleases, and that she has benben so she would never have to feel alone.
This was definitely an indication of hyv taking into accounts of the pacing and player input and building something beautiful out of it. And if the rest of Genshin's stories can be written like this, it's safe to say that I'll definitely be hooked until I've exhausted the full game.

Jeht
She appears in the Golden Slumber and The Dirge of Bilqis world quest series. Jeht befriends a primal construct called Benben while exploring desert ruins with Traveler, her father Jebrael and a scholar Tirzad. Later she joins the Tanid lead by matriarch Babel, until they try to kill her. She then sets off on her own journey.
Ruu
We first meet Ruu on the Tsurumi Island during a world quest Through the Mist. His singing was notixced by a Thunderbird, who took liking to him. However, after some time he was sacrificed to gain the Thunderbirds favour because of the bad situation on the island. When the Thunderbird saw this, she became enraged, destroyed the village and locked everyone on the island into a time loop, so they would forever relive their destruction.

God, I can’t WAIT until the last quest for the Desert of Hadramaveth unlocks on February 6 so I can forget all about this fucking mess.
Dirge of Bilqis could have been a simple, sad and somber quest about us helping Jeht find the Eternal Oasis so she can lay the remains of her parents to rest there together.
Instead the quest got unnecessarily padded out and derailed by useless internal conflict and betrayal within the Tanit, the Fatui, who had to be involved too bc we can’t have a big Genshin quest without those darn evil fantasy russians always ruining everything everywhere, AND another NPC specifically prejudiced against the Eremites who had to learn to not be racist anymore.
Babel could have just been the leader of a matriarchal Eremite tribe who took a liking to Jeht bc she was reminded of her deceased daughter but NOOOO she had to get to her position by colluding with the Fatui and using Jeht as her personal assassin, manipulating her into murdering innocent people so she could be the sole leader!
Azariq could have just been the big brother figure who bickers with Jeht and calls her annoying nicknames but nooooo he had to work with Babel and then try backstab her too by planing to have Jeht replace her as matriach and then make her marry him!

[Some takes I intend to write after finishing the world quest:
-Matriarch Babel and Candace are parallels of one another in the way they conduct/hold authority over their people.
-Jeht could benefit from staying in Aaru Village if she wished. There is potential for Candace and her to bond, potential for them to become like sisters and for her to help guard the village as well]
#the voice: a#[jeht and benben have my heart in pain okay. she deserves a chance to heal and find the strength to trust and a sense of belonging]

We get to meet with Jeht again!!! Wahhhh!!! I missed you!! 🥺
She’s with another tribe called the Tanit who live in the desert, and have a farm of docile crocodiles! As being part of the group now Jeht works to deal with traitors of the Tanit. For Beben they’re unfortunately not working and is under repairs from a member of the Tanit
But now the traveler and Jeht are going to investigate a temple!
Oh Jeht….I wish that your path and the traveler’s will alway intertwine so we’ll always meet again
Here we get introduced to Azariq who gets along quite well with Jeht being like a brother to her (from Jeht’s words) Together we explore the insides of the temple!
Here’s a cute little scene of Jeht getting annoyed by Azariq and we had the option to join in or tell him to stop lol
Although along the way I can’t help but feel suspicious of Azariq and the Matriarch Babel…hopefully these feelings are wrong haha!!

Jeht and Jebrael: A Father's Love Beyond Slumbering Sands and a Daughter's Promise in the Timeless Realm
© Hoyoverse
SPOILER ALERT: Please finish the Golden Slumber questline and the Dirge of Birqis before reading this post. :3
Jeht was a young woman we had encountered during Sumeru's world quest, The Golden Slumber. She and her father Jebrael were mercenaries hired to escort a researcher named Tirzad across the deserts in search of ruins. This father and daughter duo endeared themselves not just to the Traveler but also to many players as well. Jeht was a bubbly girl with a taste for adventure whereas Jebrael was stoic but not unapproachable. Although he may be intimidating, Jebrael has a soft spot for his wife and his daughter.
© Hoyoverse
But what was supposed to be an adventure became a dire situation when Jebrael's past caught up with him. His old friend Samail appeared, searching for the throne of King Deshret. While we stew in confusion, Jebrael warned him of the consequences if he sits on that throne in Khaj-Nisut. The dashing Eremite mercenary knew what would happen if Samail sits on the throne. But he wouldn't listen. When he sat down, all of Khaj-Nisut shuddered. Jebrael stopped him, but he got trapped within the Golden Slumber. Jeht called out to her father, begging him to come back. But he was lost to her forever.
I'm sure that many of us Travelers went back to the throne to try and get Jebrael back. But it was a lost cause. He can never return to his daughter's side, forcing her to face the world alone. The last time we left her in Aaru Village, she was crying at the loss of her father. And to be honest, it broke my heart knowing that this once cheerful girl has her world shattered in an instant.
Then we reconnected with her via Katheryne in Sumeru City. We found out that Jeht found a new family in the Tanit tribe. During her time there, she became more mellow and wiser. But she retained her tenacious personality and quick wit. She also became decisive when dealing with those whom she thought was a traitor to the Tanit tribe. As Matriarch Babel's left hand man, she gained the respect of others in their tribe.
In her quest to lay her father's axe and her mother's research notebook to rest, Jeht had encountered many trials and made difficult decisions. Nevertheless, she remained focused on her goal. I'm sure that wherever he is, Jebrael is proud of his little girl. But despite Jeht's matured demeanor, there were times when she longed for her father's presence. This was particularly true when we reached the Eternal Oases and laid down her parents' stuff underneath a tree. Though she looked peaceful, there's this sense of loneliness in her because of what happened to her parents. Nevertheless, she gained the good will of Liloupar, the Jinn that led us to the Eternal Oases. She even bid us to look after Jeht, stating the reason that she's a good person and must be protected at all costs. Never mind that she could protect herself quite well. But knowing that she fulfilled her promise to her parents, Jeht moves forward with her life. And I wish her nothing but the best for her.
#genshin impact#genshin impact jeht#We missed you sweetie!#jebrael#rest in peace#Well that was a punch in the gut
