Artificial Human

The Albinaurics must be artificial humen, as described in the text of Albinauric Bloodclot.

Albinauric Bloodclot
Albinaurics are lifeforms made by human hands. Thus, many believe them to live impure lives, untouched by the Erdtree’s grace.

Further consideration suggests that the Albinaurics was created from silver tear.

Larval Tears
Core of a creature of mimicry known as a silver tear.
As much as a substance as it is a living organism.
Material required by the amber egg cradled by Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon, to birth people anew.
Being born anew allows the reallocation of attributes boosted by leveling up.

In fact, the blood of the silver tear and the blood of the Albinauric are silvery white.

In addition, this Larval Tears is a hard-to-find item, but for some reason it’s in the Village of the Albinaurics.

Also, the origin of the Albinauric is “the primordial drop of dew”, as described in the text of Albinauric Shield.

Albinauric Shield
Tall oval shield made of metal carried by young Albinaurics.
The ornamentation represents the primordial drop of dew from which they are said to have been created.
Boasts exceptional magic damage negation.
The Albinaurics’ most formidable foes were sorcerers, after all.

From these points, it is thought that the Albinaurics are created from Larval Tears.

Academy of Raya Lucaria

The Larval Tears is an item for Rennala, at the Academy of Raya Lucaria, to reincarnate us.

In addition to the Larval Tears, multiple items suggest the relationship between the Albinauric and the Academy of Raya Lucaria.

For example, the text of Albinauric Shield says, “The Albinaurics’ most formidable foes were sorcerers”.

Also, the text of Albinauric Pot implies the Cuckoos discriminated against the Albinaurics.

Albinauric Pot
Craftable item prepared using a ritual pot.
Enchanted by sorceries of the Cuckoos.
Consumes FP. Throw at enemies to impede recovery actions using a flask of tears for a certain duration.
The Knights of the Cuckoos do declare. Behold, thy defiled blood.
Unlike any humor that flows in our grand realm.

Also, Rennala has been researching the technique of rebirth, but the children born from the technique cannot walk, just like the Albinauric.

Considering these points, it is thought that there is some kind of connection between the Academy of Raya Lucaria and the Albinauric.

As explained in an article, the Albinaurics would be created by transferring souls into silver tears through the magic of Raya Lucaria.

Discrimination

The Albinaurics are subject to discrimination, as described in the text of Albinauric Bloodclot and Albinauric Pot.

Moreover, the Village of the Albinaurics is located deep in a poison swamp.

Also, the text of the item Black Dumpling that the Albinaurics drop in the Volcano Manor suggests that the Albinaurics were tortured.

Black Dumpling
Mask forced on a victim’s head to lend torture an extra degree of cruelty.
It magnifies one’s fears and makes them acutely aware of all forms of pain.
Raises attack power when the wearer suffers from madness.
When the Black Dumpling goes on, the torturer no longer seeks answers; only to inflict suffering without hope of relief.

Perhaps experiments were conducted in the Volcano Manor to modify the Albinaurics for combat use.

Actually, there are first and second generations of the Albinauric, and the first generation cannot walk, but the second generation can move quite agilely.

Since the Volcano Manor is the hideout of those who want to crush the Golden Order, they may have focused on the blood of the Albinauric, which has the effect of inhibiting the blessings of the Golden Order.

Maybe there is an idea that artificial humen are allowed to discriminate.

Faith in Miquella

The Albinaurics have been discriminated against for a long time, but there are some people who try to help them.

One of them is Miquella.

Miquella seeks to create a new Golden Order to save the weak, because the current Golden Order is powerless against his sister Malenia‘s rot.

So, Miquella created the Miquella’s Haligtree as a safe place for the weak to live.

Royal Knight Helm
Silver helm of Loretta, a Knight who served Miquella’s Haligtree.
Loretta, once a royal Carian Knight, went on a journey in search of a haven for Albinaurics, and determined that the Haligtree was their best chance for eventual salvation.

Actually, it needs Haligtree Secret Medallion to get to the Miquella’s Haligtree, and Gideon killed a large number of Albinaurics in order to get the medallion which is given to the Albinaurics.

As a result, despite the creation of Miquella’s Haligtree to save the Albinaurics, a large number of Albinaurics were killed because of it…
