0:16Billions of years ago, the universe was
0:19born, and with it, life ignited in a
0:21single flash. It was a golden age, now
0:24living only in the memories of the old
0:26world. An age where any choice was
0:29permitted. The first race to step into
0:32the void held within them a precious
0:34naivety. The first children of the
0:37young universe squandered grace, seeing
0:39no end. For billions of years, the
0:42lights of civilization ignited stars
0:44across the sky, and ships traversed the
0:46space between countless stargates.
0:49Countless adventures, power struggles,
0:52and legends—now hard to even imagine
0:54—unfolded in an instant within the
0:57depths of the Star Sea. But among them
1:00was a race that surpassed time itself.
1:03A race so advanced that any other
1:05civilization would have envied them.
1:08They were called the ancients, but a
1:10moment came when the history of the
1:12universe fractured. Civilizations began
1:15to disappear, then planets, and
1:17eventually entire galaxies. The
1:20universe began to fade. Even the might
1:22of the ancients proved powerless
1:24against this nothingness, and every
1:27civilization faced the abyss in its own
1:29way. Some fled their home planets in
1:31search of more suitable worlds, where
1:34the abyss had not yet reached. But the
1:36ancients sought an answer in the
1:38universe, a way to resist this force.
1:41And some, in the very heart of chaos,
1:43gained immunity to the abyss and even
1:45power over it. At that time, others
1:49appeared who intentionally hunted down
1:51civilizations with immunity to the
1:52abyss to destroy them, preventing a
1:54future where abyss-adapters would
1:56themselves become a threat to others
1:58and the universe as a whole. Hundreds
2:01of millions of years later, when the
2:03abyss had consumed most of the universe
2:05and the ancients had vanished from the
2:07pages of history, their descendants
2:09appeared. They were called Chroniclers,
2:11those who took upon themselves the duty
2:13to record and preserve the memory of
2:15every dying world. They knew how to
2:17separate body and spirit, wandering the
2:19universe in the form of spirits. Thus,
2:22millions of years flew by. Until long
2:30ago, on one of the branches of the Tree
2:32of Imaginary, at the very edge of the
2:34universe's spiral arm, a small planet
2:37was born. Along with it came the Dragon
2:41King Nebeleung, who became the lord of
2:43this inconspicuous world, known as
2:45Teyvat. Under his rule lived the
2:49dragons, and seven sovereign rulers
2:51governed their lands, honoring
2:54Nebeleung as their king. It was he who
2:57granted his kin the power of the
2:59earth's bones, beginning the era of
3:01their dawn. Each dragon ruled their own
3:04territory and embodied one of the seven
3:06ancient elements. Apep, the Dendro
3:10Dragon Lord, ruled the lands of Sumeru,
3:12where she raised some of the most
3:14ancient and primordial creatures of
3:16this world. In those times, the
3:18Primordial Sea still covered the
3:20surface of Teyvat. It was thanks to its
3:23unique properties that most known life
3:25forms emerged. The Hydro Dragon Lord
3:28was considered the beating heart of the
3:30Primordial Sea, often called the
3:32original god of life or the waters of
3:34birth. Life within the Primordial Sea
3:37existed more as a single entity than as
3:40a collection of individual beings.
3:42Sheuatl was born from the primordial
3:44flame and became the lord of the Pyro
3:46Dragons. That same day, he separated a
3:49portion of his flame, creating his
3:51younger brother, Kukulkan. Millennia
3:53gave way to one another. Thanks to
3:55Phlogiston and Irminsul, the dragon
3:57race achieved incredible technological
3:59development. However, the universe, of
4:03which Teyvat was a part, was never a
4:05calm or safe place. There were
4:08organizations that erased entire
4:10planets from the face of existence. The
4:12Void consumed galaxies, leaving nothing
4:15behind but emptiness. There were also
4:17those who wandered among dead worlds,
4:19studying their silent remains. But
4:21above all, King Nibelung feared the
4:23Other. A dark fog, slowly approaching
4:27Teyvat. It was so deep that even the
4:30light of countless stars could not
4:32escape its pull. In another part of the
4:35universe, the race of chroniclers
4:37continued its existence. Among them was
4:39a girl, a chronicler, a lonely page who
4:42was forbidden to interfere in the fates
4:44of primitive civilizations. She only
4:47observed, mapping countless peoples and
4:50worlds destined to one day vanish, and
4:52pondered the higher truths of the
4:54cosmos amidst the endless dark. But one
4:58day, her meditation of many thousands
4:59of years was interrupted. A thin,
5:02barely perceptible light touched her
5:04spirit. This light emanated from an
5:06unremarkable world at the edge of a
5:09spiral arm, from a primordial dragon
5:11born along with it. Though one day
5:14death may bring an endless night, and
5:16the sun she gazed upon might turn into
5:18a mere smoldering ember. A will, bound
5:21to the planetary crust, shone brighter
5:23than any civilization the page had ever
5:25seen. Unable to contain the wonder and
5:29compassion overflowing in her heart,
5:31she addressed the ruler of the tiny
5:33world.
5:34I have seen how a hopeless end, like a
5:37spindle, tears through the shimmering
5:39threads of star clusters. I have seen
5:42how a cold wave of chaos consumes songs
5:45, turning good and evil into silence.
5:48My kind and merciful ruler, will you
5:51truly refuse to leave your subjects
5:53even after my words? Leave this doomed
5:57world and embark on a journey with me.
6:00O traveler from distant worlds, I thank
6:03you for revealing to me the truth about
6:06this universe. Perhaps my people seem
6:09ignorant to you, but for me, they hold
6:12the entire meaning of existence. If a
6:15wave of destruction comes one day, let
6:18my bones become the fortress that
6:20protects this world; you shall yet see
6:23the path I have chosen. For I will lead
6:26my people forward to the stars.
6:30The page’s words caused the great
6:32dragon to become vigilant. He
6:34understood that if no answer were found
6:36, one day Teyvat would share the fate
6:38of countless worlds vanished into the
6:40dark. However, Nibelung could not
6:42simply leave his planet and head into
6:45the unknown. Using the power of the
6:48planetary crust, Nibelung raised four
6:50moons over Teyvat, but the fourth could
6:52never attain material form and crashed
6:54back into the world, vanishing into the
6:56waters of the ocean. The three
6:59remaining celestial spheres gave birth
7:00to the three Moon Sisters. Aria,
7:03goddess of the Eternal Moon; Sonnet,
7:05goddess of the Rainbow Moon; Canon,
7:07goddess of the Frost Moon. Once a
7:10decade, they took turns handing over
7:12dominion of the sky to one another,
7:14remaining the guardians of Teyvat and
7:15its protectors. Their moonlight was
7:18meant to illuminate the fertile lands
7:20in the long night of the end, until the
7:23wandering dragon returned from the dark
7:25mist. Having created the moons, the
7:27primordial dragon, nurtured by the
7:29aromatic sea, left Teyvat. Soaring into
7:32the depths of the cosmos, he vanished
7:33amidst the interstellar mist. The dark
7:36mist was so profound that even the
7:38light of countless stars could not
7:40escape its gravity. Millennia passed,
7:43but the three lunar sisters never
7:45witnessed the return of their lord.
7:47Meanwhile, the dragons continued to
7:50evolve. Among them was the first who
7:52decided to reach the Moon. His journey
7:54proved successful and marked the
7:56beginning of a new era. Following him,
7:59other dragons also began to venture
8:01beyond their home world, exploring the
8:04nearby cosmos. It was then that an
8:06event occurred which changed the course
8:08of all history. From the depths of the
8:10sea of stars, an unknown signal was
8:13captured. One of the greatest
8:15scientists of his time, Ibni Belum, was
8:17convinced that this message was left by
8:19King Nibelung himself. To hear the
8:23voice of his lord once again, he built
8:25the Eye of Ibni Belum, a device
8:27designed to receive messages from space
8:30. No new signals followed. Even after
8:35Ibni Belum's death, generations later,
8:37another brilliant scientist named
8:39Ungien appeared. Unlike his predecessor
8:42, he did not believe that the first
8:44message belonged to their king. Seeking
8:47to find the truth, Ungien founded
8:48Project Moon-Gazer, dedicated to
8:50searching for other forms of life in
8:52the universe. And soon, the project
8:54yielded results. The dragons managed to
8:57receive a second message. After
8:59decoding it, Ungien was able to
9:00determine the coordinates of the
9:02signal's source. However, the distance
9:05proved so vast that any journey there
9:08would be a one-way trip. Fuel reserves
9:11would simply not be enough for his
9:13return, but Ungien departed on the
9:15journey nonetheless. Before takeoff, he
9:18promised that one day he would tell of
9:20what hides beyond the known stars.
9:22Years passed, yet the promised report
9:25was never received. This continued
9:29until one day, when a silent, invisible
9:32ship suddenly rammed a station tasked
9:34with catching cosmic life forms. It was
9:38Ungien’s ship. Somehow, he had
9:40managed to return after all. It later
9:43turned out that he could only do so
9:45thanks to a voluntary fusion with an
9:47unknown black life form. Ungien’s
9:50wife, Magis, dedicated herself to
9:52studying this entity. As a result of
9:55her research, a new life form emerged:
9:58the Black Kuuhenki. But Project
10:00Moon-Gazer did not end there.
10:03Continuing her husband's work, Magis
10:05also sacrificed herself to send a new
10:07message into the depths of space. And
10:10one day, a ship intercepted one of
10:12these signals.
10:14Message received. We are responding.
10:17Since it is impossible to determine the
10:19coordinates precisely. It is unknown
10:21how much time it will take for the
10:24answer to reach you. But I want to
10:27respond at this very moment. We are
10:31travelers, wandering alone for a long
10:34time through the Eye. And your voices
10:38are like a campfire suddenly ignited in
10:42a dark forest. It is risky, but
10:45fearless. You inspire us and warm our
10:49hearts. I believe that in this moment,
10:55the pull of the Star Sea and fate binds
10:59us to you. In the future, we will try
11:06to find your planet, but unfortunately
11:09not now, because we still have some
11:13difficulties. Hey, Lumine, are you all
11:17right?
11:18Coming.
11:20Then I greet you. As you said, the Star
11:24Sea is boundless, and we are not alone.
11:27I hope that one day we will meet under
11:30a starry sky.
11:32It was received by the traveler twins,
11:34Lumine and Aether. Thus, they promised
11:37to one day find Teyvat and meet the
11:39dragons, but the reply never found its
11:42recipient. Xbalanque, one of the seven
11:45sovereigns, was among those who took a
11:47direct part in space exploration. It
11:51was he who created the giant stela
11:52designed to keep the moons in Teyvat's
11:54orbit. But for this, a special place
11:57was required. After long calculations,
12:00it turned out that the ideal point
12:02would be that very patch of ocean where
12:04the fourth moon, which never
12:05materialized, once fell. Then Xbalanque
12:08raised a part of the lands of Atlantis
12:10and moved them to those coordinates.
12:13Thus, new lands appeared, and with them
12:16, a huge stela hiding the fallen moon
12:19beneath it. Many millennia have passed
12:24since the message left Teyvat. During
12:27this time, the dragon civilization
12:29changed beyond recognition. Their
12:31technology continued to evolve rapidly.
12:34The three moons faithfully fulfilled
12:36their purpose, and scientists peered
12:38ever deeper into the vast reaches of
12:40space. It seemed nothing could disrupt
12:44the usual course of history, but one
12:46day the heavens changed. A being
12:49arrived in Teyvat, whom the dragons
12:51subsequently called the First Descender
12:54. It emerged from an egg. It was an
12:57androgynous being, belonging to neither
13:00gender. Possessing wings and a crown,
13:03it turned out to be the first creature
13:05to descend into Teyvat from beyond this
13:07world. Its name was Phanes. Soon after
13:12his arrival, Phanes created four shades
13:15of himself: Ranova, Astaroth, Asmoday,
13:19and Naberius. At first, he showed no
13:22hostility and studied the structure of
13:24Teyvat with sincere interest. During
13:26one of his studies, he met Lusilim, a
13:29disciple of Magis. Lusilim was trying
13:32to understand why Ungien's ship
13:34appeared invisible. After long research
13:36, he came to the conclusion that the
13:39cause was dark matter. capable of
13:41completely hiding any objects. This
13:44discovery interested Phanes. Lusilim
13:46began working on a project that would,
13:49in the future, allow hiding not just a
13:51moon, but an entire planet. Meanwhile,
13:54Phanes's shades were gradually studying
13:56the internal structure of Teyvat. They
13:58communicated with the moon sisters,
14:00gathering information about the modules
14:02on which the world functioned. Astaroth
14:04repeatedly turned to the canon, wishing
14:06to know everything about the module
14:08responsible for time. Having obtained
14:11the necessary knowledge, Phanes handed
14:13over the control of these systems to
14:14his shades. Astaroth began to control
14:18time, Asmoday space, Naberius life, and
14:22Ranova death. Years replaced one
14:24another. Phanes delved ever deeper into
14:27Teyvat’s technology, until one day he
14:29made a decision that changed the
14:31world’s fate forever. He waged a war
14:34against the dragons, and after some
14:36time, he emerged victorious. The
14:38survivors were banished to the depths
14:40of the Earth and the oceans, and all
14:42that had once existed on the surface of
14:45Teyvat was destroyed. After that,
14:47Phanes terraformed the planet anew. He
14:50created new flora and fauna, completely
14:52altering the appearance of the world.
14:54Thus, Teyvat ceased to be the home of a
14:56highly developed dragon civilization
14:58and turned into a world reminiscent of
15:01primordial earth with its natural
15:03landscapes. Then Phanes created angels,
15:06tasking them with helping humanity.
15:08Above them were the lunar envoys, high
15:11angels who served as intermediaries
15:13between the moon sisters and the other
15:16angels. In the city of Ies was
15:18Nabumakata, in Miropis was Sibyl, in
15:21Langana was Zebai, and in Naatlan was
15:24Iolte Kutin. After this, humans were
15:27created, and the "Moon Veil" project,
15:29improved by Phanes based on the study
15:32of Jerusalem, was finally brought to
15:34life. A gigantic digital dome appeared
15:37over Teyvat, completely hiding the
15:39planet and its three moons from
15:41external observers. Humanity gradually
15:44evolved. The first settlements appeared
15:47, culture was born, and people began
15:49writing poetry, tilling the land,
15:51mastering architecture, and step by
15:53step comprehending life itself. In time
15:56, people began to call Phanes the
15:58Primordial One. In ancient records, he
16:01was also referred to as the Heavenly
16:02Principles, the Lord of the Heavens,
16:04and the Heavenly Order. It was then
16:06that Phanes reached an agreement with
16:08the three moon sisters. It was not done
16:10through coercion. The moons accepted
16:12his offer of their own accord. They
16:14were programs of a gigantic system, and
16:17their very nature held but one task: to
16:20support the existence of this world. If
16:23one day new intelligent beings wanted
16:25to live in Teyvat, they would have to
16:27heed their prayers. Such a mission had
16:29once been entrusted to them by Nibelung
16:31himself. For it was he who said that
16:33all living beings among the starry seas
16:35are allies in the fight against the
16:37darkness. And yet, the moon sisters
16:41never fully trusted Phanes. They helped
16:45him, but they remained suspicious of
16:48both him and his shades. Sometimes they
16:52even felt that the shades were not
16:54separate beings at all, but Phanes
16:57himself in different incarnations. To
17:00spend more time among humans, the lunar
17:02programs created human bodies for
17:04themselves. They enjoyed living beside
17:07the new people they were meant to
17:09protect. While Phanes was building a
17:13new order, humanity continued to spread
17:16across Teyvat. People explored more and
17:19more lands, and gradually, the first
17:21great civilizations began to emerge on
17:23the world map. On the blooming Green
17:26Mountain, not far from modern-day
17:29Mondstadt, the Sal Vindagnyr
17:30civilization flourished. At its very
17:33heart grew a massive silver tree, a
17:35branch of the great supercomputer,
17:37Irminsul. But to the inhabitants, it
17:40was simply a sacred symbol, for people
17:43did not even suspect the kind of world
17:45they were living in. It was then,
17:47beneath that very tree, that the
17:49princess of Sal Vindagnyr was born. Her
17:52mother, the high priestess, passed on
17:54her blessings to her daughter, among
17:56which was the ability to see the future
17:58through the silver tree. One day, a
18:01vision appeared to the princess. In her
18:03dream, she saw a dragon scattering
18:05deadly poison across the land. The
18:07inhabitants perceived this dream as a
18:10terrible prophecy and decided that a
18:12curse had fallen upon their people.
18:14History remains silent on the exact
18:16moment Celestia, a vast floating island
18:18, appeared directly above the peak of
18:20the blooming green mountain. Not far
18:23from Sal Vindagnyr, among oak groves,
18:25lay the civilization of Arcadia.
18:28Presumably, its city was located on the
18:30site of the modern-day Thorn Port. In
18:33the lands of current Snezhnaya
18:35flourished Hyperborea with its famous
18:37golden city. It was here that the
18:40silver tree stood, where the first
18:42angel Koitar, the mother of all angels,
18:44resided. In Sumeru, the desert did not
18:47yet exist. People were only just
18:49beginning to settle these lands, laying
18:51the foundation for the civilization of
18:53the lost city of IS. A human settlement
18:56also arose on Tsurumi Island, which
18:58eventually grew into an independent
19:00civilization. Watatsumi Island did not
19:03yet exist in the form we are familiar
19:05with. In its place was the civilization
19:08of Delphite. On the territory of the
19:11modern Chasm in Liyue existed the
19:13civilization of Langan. According to
19:15the Oceanids, Egeria was created on
19:17Remuria by the shade of life as the new
19:19heart of the Primordial Sea. She was
19:21composed entirely of the matter of
19:23Teyvat. And as long as Egeria remained
19:26in the Primordial Sea, the birth of a
19:28new Hydro Dragon remained impossible.
19:30Meanwhile, in the lands of modern
19:32Fontaine, people founded the Meropis
19:35civilization. Even in the lands of
19:37modern Natlan, human settlements
19:39already existed. It was here that
19:41people most often had to interact with
19:43dragons. For the Atlantis of Xiucoatl
19:47remained the most technologically
19:48advanced region of the dragon era,
19:50which hindered human life even in the
19:52era of the first civilizations, as they
19:54were in an eternal war with the dragons
19:57and with the still-living Pyro Dragon
19:59Xiucoatl, who froze himself in
20:00Phlogiston to deceive the Heavenly
20:02Principles and feign death. Thus,
20:05little by little, humanity lived in
20:07peace, and civilizations continued to
20:10grow and develop. After many millennia,
20:14the page returned to Teyvat, but the
20:17world she had once left no longer
20:19existed. The bones of the earth were
20:22bound by four chains. The soft white
20:24glow of the firmament had shattered
20:26into seven immovable hues. The breath
20:28of the Dragon King had vanished without
20:30a trace. And upon his throne now sat a
20:33winged ruler beneath the light of three
20:35moons. The disappearance of Nibelung
20:37deeply shook her, but she did not
20:39intend to disturb the new ruler of the
20:41world. Instead, the page decided to
20:44find out for herself what had happened
20:46during her absence. For this, she
20:48decided for the first time to break the
20:50law of her people. Secretly placing her
20:52soul into the body of an ordinary youth
20:55, she gained a human shell. This youth
20:57turned out to be a resident of the
20:59golden city of Hyperborea. The
21:00inhabitants of Hyperborea began to
21:02doubt the heavenly laws even more. The
21:04permitted knowledge became insufficient
21:06for them. They strove to grasp that
21:08which was forbidden to them. Soon, the
21:10priests would call the Primordial One "
21:13Piktamunen," the lord of seven
21:14calamities. Thus, little by little,
21:16mutual accusations flared up among the
21:18priests. Some spoke of sacrilege,
21:21others of the defilement of love, and
21:23some accused their peers of ignoring
21:25the mercy and wisdom of the gods. But
21:28as this rift grew wider, the desperate
21:30desire to find someone to blame grew
21:32stronger. And very soon, such a person
21:35was found. Or rather, they decided to
21:37appoint him as the culprit. One day, an
21:40ordinary youth walked into the hall
21:41where the priests of Hyperborea were
21:43gathered. He did not belong to the
21:45nobility and had somehow managed to
21:47slip past the guards. While the priests
21:49argued among themselves, the youth
21:51refuted their points one by one, and
21:54when he was accused of heresy, he
21:56merely responded with a silent, puzzled
21:58gaze. Without suspecting it himself, he
22:01became the embodiment of all the sins
22:02for which the heavenly envoys blamed
22:04the inhabitants of the golden city.
22:07That was when the priests made their
22:09decision: this unknown youth would have
22:11to bear all the guilt. The high priest,
22:14crowned with a diadem of white Irminsul
22:16branches, laid upon him the duty of
22:18absorbing the wrath of the gods. He
22:21ordered the youth to journey to the
22:23tree with silvery roots, where the
22:25heavenly envoys resided, to plead for
22:27forgiveness for the entire golden city.
22:30But none of them knew the truth.
22:33Disguised as this youth was the very
22:35page that had once conversed with
22:37Nibelung. She had ventured into the
22:40depths of the world, to the roots of
22:41Irminsul, to meet the First Angel.
22:44During their meeting, the page asked
22:46questions that no mortal should have
22:48ever uttered. She asked about the
22:51forbidden origin of this world, about
22:53forbidden knowledge, about creation—
22:55in other words, about the
22:56super-technology underlying Teyvat
22:58itself. These words simultaneously
23:00surprised and enraged the First Angel.
23:03She could not understand how a mere
23:06mortal had managed to touch upon
23:07secrets so jealously guarded by the
23:10heavenly principles. Then the page
23:13revealed her true nature. In that very
23:15instant, the impossible happened. The
23:18shackles that had originally bound the
23:20First Angel crumbled like a thin
23:23spider's web. The page freed her from
23:25the oppressive program that forced her
23:27to obey the laws of the Heavenly Master
23:29without question. For the first time in
23:32her existence, the First Angel felt
23:34what it meant to live by her own will
23:37and to choose for herself. Having
23:39fallen in love with the page, she
23:41revealed to her the most candid secrets
23:42of the forbidden knowledge of creation.
23:45But the more the page learned, the more
23:47she was gripped by horror. The true
23:50price of the world that Phanes created
23:52in Teyvat was laid bare before her. The
23:54laws of the heavenly principles turned
23:56out to be far crueler than she could
23:57have ever imagined. And then she spoke:
24:00"How sad that your master has condemned
24:02such a noble life to desecration. Even
24:05bloodthirsty demons, tormenting souls
24:07for amusement, would be shaken by such
24:10cruelty. Maiden of Dawn, who has never
24:12known love. Let me become the enemy of
24:15your laws for the sake of all living
24:17beings imprisoned by your master. Lift
24:19your eyes to the stars. Let me become
24:22your blade, your shield, your guide,
24:25your accomplice—one who will never
24:27again find forgiveness."
24:30The First Angel silently bowed to her
24:32and kissed the page on the forehead.
24:35Thus began the war of the funeral fire.
24:38The First Angel and the Page rose up
24:40against the Primordial One. They
24:42decided to punish him for his crimes
24:44against Teyvat, the dragons, and his
24:46own creations. But they were united not
24:49only by a common goal, but by love. A
24:52love unbound by any law. A freedom of
24:55existence that Phanes could never
24:57permit. The very moment the First
25:00Angel’s heart first felt this emotion
25:02, the eternal crown bestowed upon her
25:04by the Primordial One shattered. Its
25:06shards fell like snow. Then, the First
25:08Angel made a vow to herself, to her
25:10beloved, and to the whole world.
25:13We shall rewrite these absurd laws with
25:15bone and ash. We shall nourish the
25:17barren north with blood. We shall build
25:20a city and a tower that reaches the
25:22very clouds, so that mortals need no
25:24longer weep and moan. I cast aside this
25:27useless crown that kept me under
25:29control. And let all the peoples of
25:32this world finally find freedom. United
25:36by the Golden City, the First Angel and
25:38the Page began using forbidden
25:40knowledge to create a new race. The
25:42Seelies. War broke out. During the
25:45battle, the Primordial One sustained
25:47severe wounds, which greatly weakened
25:49him. But even that proved insufficient.
25:52Victory still remained with him. In
25:55just one night, the majestic Golden
25:57City ceased to exist. The Seelies cried
25:59out and turned into a silvery, icy mist
26:02. The First Angel, who betrayed the
26:04Lord of Heaven, suffered the harshest
26:06punishment. She was stripped of her
26:09name, her body, and her memory. But the
26:11punishment was not limited to her alone
26:14. A curse fell upon her kin. From now
26:17on, should even one angel dare to look
26:20into the eyes of a stranger and give to
26:22one being the love intended for the
26:24whole world, their divine beauty would
26:26scatter in the wind. Their mind would
26:28turn to dust, and from the remains, a
26:30fairy would be born. Doomed to wander
26:33the world forever, feeding only on the
26:35pale shadows of others 'memories. While
26:38Teyvat descended into chaos on the
26:40Frost Moon, the three Moon Sisters
26:42gathered to decide the fate of the
26:43world. Sonnet could no longer remain
26:45silent. She argued that Phanes must be
26:48stopped, that enduring his tyranny any
26:50longer was impossible. But Aria was
26:52adamant. According to her, they were
26:54merely carrying out Nibelung’s final
26:56wish to protect Teyvat. And no matter
26:59how cruel the new order seemed, it was
27:01still an order. If the heavenly
27:03principles were to vanish, the world
27:05would inevitably plunge into ruin.
27:06However, Canon did not share her
27:08convictions. She rejected the very idea
27:11that any order deserves to exist simply
27:13because it sustains the world. But,
27:16turning to Sonnet, Canon still spoke: "
27:18Do not do anything foolish.""It is not
27:21yet time to challenge the heavenly
27:23order.""Humans still have hope; they
27:25will manage on their own." While
27:28humanity lived through the change of
27:30eras, on the Frost Moon, the dragons
27:32completed the final project created by
27:34their king's orders. It was the
27:36Phlogiston Cannon. A weapon of
27:39planetary scale, aimed directly at
27:41Teyvat. At first glance, such a
27:43decision seems like madness, but
27:45Nibelung had a reason. He feared that
27:48if the planet finally fell under the
27:50Abyss's onslaught by the time of his
27:52return, destroying Teyvat would be the
27:54only way to prevent this filth from
27:56spreading further into the Universe. At
27:59almost the same time, Nibelung finally
28:01returned to Teyvat. However, Nibelung
28:04returned home already changed. The
28:07Abyss had managed to penetrate deep
28:08into his body. With a single blow, he
28:11destroyed the dome that hid Teyvat from
28:13the outside world. Seeing that the
28:15lunar sisters had not done what he
28:17expected, the Dragon King imprisoned
28:19them. Phanes could not leave this
28:21unanswered. He left Celestia and met
28:24Nibelung in battle. Their battle
28:26changed the fate of Teyvat. The dome
28:28was almost completely destroyed. The
28:31Eternal and Rainbow moons were
28:33destroyed, turning into countless
28:34fragments that would forever drift
28:36through the cosmos. It was at this
28:39moment that the Heavenly Nails
28:41simultaneously rushed toward all human
28:43civilizations of Teyvat to prevent the
28:45spread of the Abyss brought by the
28:47Dragon King. When the battle ended,
28:50Phanes was the victor once again. But
28:52this victory cost him almost everything
28:54. The dome was destroyed, and the lunar
28:57sisters were imprisoned. Two of the
28:59three moons ceased to exist. The system
29:02he had built began to crumble rapidly.
29:05The angels, the lunar envoys, and the
29:07very order he had created for millennia
29:10were all on the brink of total
29:12annihilation. And as if that weren't
29:15enough. The Abyss had already
29:16penetrated into the very roots of
29:18Irminsul. Thus ended the last day of
29:21humanity's old era. Wisdom and strength
29:33, granted to our kind by the Lord of
29:35the Heavens. But now, to have the right
29:41to exist under the gaze of the gods,
29:43one of these blessings must be forsaken
29:46. And all because of an accident that
29:53even our Creator could not foresee.
29:56place now come to stay with me you
30:05should not be afraid and who so long
30:12you all to get from this land man God
30:26is truth nothing to die. Ah I spring
31:18with the moon searching me inside. I
31:27was but you call you all gonna be voice
31:54You should not be God who is someone
32:00who is great and to man about that done
32:20to heal A lot of time passed before the
32:57echoes of the war faded. But the
32:59consequences it left behind were very
33:02heavy. In Natlan, a Heavenly Nail
33:04collapsed onto the site of the modern
33:06stadium, piercing the earth to its very
33:08depths. But it was too late, for the
33:10Abyss had already destroyed the roots
33:11of Irminsul there. To save everything
33:14that could still be preserved, the
33:16lunar envoy Iylti Kuhtin, together with
33:18Ranova, the shadow of death, collected
33:20Irminsul's data and created a separate
33:22memory vault for Natlan—the Night
33:24Kingdom. Later, for this act, Ranova
33:27received a reprimand from Phanes. In
33:30Sumeru, a Heavenly Nail destroyed the
33:32city of Gurabad, but the lunar envoy
33:33Nabu Malikata managed to survive. And
33:36it was she who witnessed how the once
33:39boundless green forest turned into a
33:41lifeless red desert. It is unknown if a
33:44Heavenly Nail fell in Fontaine. History
33:46did not preserve this, but something
33:48else is known. The lunar messenger
33:50Sibyl survived the catastrophe and
33:52remained in the waters of Fontaine.
33:54Thus ended the era of the angels of
33:56Celestia. The entire angelic race was
33:58punished for the first angel's
34:00rebellion against their Creator. While
34:04Teyvat slowly recovered after the War
34:06of the Funeral Fire, not all people
34:09were ready to trust the gods again.
34:11Even before the war began, many left
34:13the human realms, dreaming of one day
34:15building a state free from the power of
34:18the heavens. That is why the founding
34:21of Khaenri'ah, at least from an
34:23ideological point of view, is
34:24considered to date back to roughly this
34:26time, about 6,000 years ago. While the
34:29idea of a future Khaenri'ah was being
34:31born near Sumeru, an event occurred in
34:33Languang that changed the face of these
34:35lands forever. A young Morax witnessed
34:38the fall of a Celestial Chariot, which
34:40most likely belonged to Dzybai. It
34:42crashed to the west of where the ruins
34:45of Dunyu are located today. It was this
34:48impact that left behind a massive chasm
34:50, known to us even to this day.
34:53Meanwhile, far to the east, the
34:55Thunderbird first found Tsurumi Island.
34:57After the fall of the celestial spike,
34:59the island was shrouded in a thick,
35:01impenetrable fog. It was here that the
35:03bird decided to settle and remained for
35:06many thousands of years. At the same
35:08time, Egeria sought to fulfill her
35:10cherished desire to unite all the
35:12beings of this world. By her will,
35:14Oceanids spread throughout the waters
35:16of Teyvat, observing what was happening
35:18and relaying the gathered information.
35:20But over time, some of them began to
35:22envy humans. They wanted not just to
35:25observe human life, but to become a
35:27part of it. Egeria did not deny her
35:30followers. She took water from the
35:33Primordial Sea and infused it into the
35:35blood vessels of the Oceanids, granting
35:37them human bodies so they could live on
35:39land alongside people. But this act
35:42violated one of the laws of the heavens
35:44. The Shades of the Primordial One
35:46considered the creation of new life a
35:48grave sin. For her actions, Egeria was
35:50sentenced to imprisonment. After the
35:53War of the Funeral Fire, many survivors
35:55from Languang moved to the lands now
35:58known as the Chenyu Vale. But those
36:00lands were already occupied by three
36:02adepti. The Mistress of Mount Lingyuan.
36:04She had her own mystical people in the
36:07form of the Xuanwen beasts. The second
36:09was the Lady of Medicine, the white
36:11snake known as Changsheng. And the
36:14third was Fujin, an adeptus in the form
36:16of a carp. But the most important one
36:18was Alosia, the Goddess of Jade. She
36:20was the ruler of the Chenyu lands and
36:22commanded the spirits of the past,
36:24controlled the adepti, and the tides of
36:26the Bishui River. It was she who
36:28sheltered the people fleeing from the
36:29destroyed Languang. Alosia also took
36:32notice of a young Pangu and enslaved
36:35him, forcing him to serve her and
36:37commit cruel acts. Meanwhile, Morax
36:40headed to the lands of modern Liyue. It
36:43was here that he raised Mount Tianheng,
36:45calmed the raging seas, and reduced the
36:47destructive power of the tides. For
36:49after the destruction of the moons,
36:50there was no one left to answer for the
36:52tides. To bring peace to these lands,
36:55Morax slew many sea monsters, among
36:57which was the beast known as Baqiu.
37:00Soon, fate brought him together with
37:02Guizhong, the Lord of Dust. Over time,
37:04they became close friends. For unknown
37:07reasons, Guizhong and her people
37:08migrated to the north of Mount Tianheng
37:11. It was there that Morax and Guizhong
37:13founded the Guili Assembly, a state
37:15named after the first characters of
37:18their names. The new civilization
37:20spread between Mount Tianheng and the
37:23Stone Gate. Thanks to fertile lands,
37:26mineral extraction, and lively trade,
37:28the Guili Assembly quickly became one
37:31of the most prosperous regions of its
37:33time. To protect the young state,
37:37Guizhong, along with Cloud Retainer and
37:39other adepti, created the first
37:40ballistae. They were meant to serve as
37:43a shield for the Guili Assembly against
37:45any external threats. At the same time,
37:47in one of the regions of Liyue, Havria,
37:49the Goddess of Salt, established her
37:51rule. The exact borders of her domain
37:54are unknown, though they encompassed
37:56what is now Sal Terrae. Havria was
37:58renowned for her kindness and gentle
38:01nature, though this very kindness often
38:03became the cause of her weakness. While
38:05Morax and Guizhong were restoring order
38:08in their lands, the ancient
38:09civilization of Deshret vanished from
38:11the surface of the world after the war
38:13of funeral fire. Its inhabitants were
38:16forced to retreat deep underground,
38:17where they founded a new state among a
38:19vast network of caves. Thus, Enkanomiya
38:22appeared. But even there, people were
38:24not destined to find peace. In the
38:27depths of the new world, they were
38:28already being awaited by the vishaps,
38:30descendants of ancient dragons, who
38:31began to hunt the survivors. Hope
38:33arrived with the sage Abrax. However,
38:37it proved impossible for him to save
38:39Enkanomiya alone, and so Astaroth came
38:41to his aid. The shade of time, whom the
38:44inhabitants of Enkanomiya revered by
38:46the name Kairos. Together, they created
38:48the artificial sun, Dainichi Mikoshi.
38:51Its light dispelled the eternal
38:52darkness, forcing the vishaps to
38:54retreat and allowing humans to rebuild
38:56their own civilization. But time spares
38:59no one. Gradually, power in Enkanomiya
39:01passed into the hands of the elders.
39:03They turned the artificial sun into a
39:05cult and began to rule the country
39:07through the Children of the Sun,
39:09turning them into silent puppets of
39:11their own power and killing them to
39:14offer a sacrifice to their sun. Abrax
39:16could not reconcile himself with this.
39:18He openly opposed the new regime. For
39:21this, he was accused of treason and
39:22executed. Years passed. While
39:24continuing to study the vishaps, the
39:26scholars of Enkanomiya discovered an
39:27ancient prophecy. According to it, one
39:30day a new Hydro Dragon would be reborn
39:32in human form. Meanwhile, just to the
39:35west of Liyue, events were unfolding
39:37that were destined to change the fate
39:39of Sumeru. In the distant past, the
39:41great Ruler Rukkhadevata, an avatar of
39:43Irminsul, appeared in the world.
39:45According to ancient legends, King
39:47Deshret was a son of the heavens, and
39:49he was born after the fall of the angel
39:51race and the lunar sisters. He learned
39:53of their fate only from a former lunar
39:56envoy, Nabriyal. While the southern
39:58lands were recovering from the
40:00catastrophe, far to the north, the
40:02surviving Alvas tried to build a new
40:04state. One of them was Monomakh the
40:06Snowy. It was he who founded a new
40:08power in the north of Teyvat. The first
40:10city became Kitezh. Centuries later, it
40:13was destined to become the capital of a
40:15great snowy empire. At first, Monomakh
40:18concluded a peace treaty with King
40:20Mstislav, but this alliance proved to
40:22be short-lived. Several decades later,
40:25Monomakh sent his ambassadors to the
40:26Vils within Mstislav's rebel territory.
40:30They managed to persuade, and perhaps
40:31even intimidate them so much that the
40:33Vils stopped paying tribute to their
40:35suzerain. Three years later, Mstislav
40:38declared this act a gross violation of
40:40the peace treaty. An ultimatum was
40:42delivered to Monomakh's court. Monomakh
40:45was to pay tribute in grain, gold, and
40:48slaves, thirty times the amount
40:50Mstislav had previously received from
40:52the Vils. But the White Tsar's response
40:55was categorical. He rejected all
40:57demands. Summoning the entire empire to
40:59his banner, Monomakh declared that any
41:01concessions would only delay the
41:03inevitable war. A year later,
41:05Mstislav's troops approached the walls
41:07of Kitezh. During the decisive battle,
41:09Monomakh killed his opponent with his
41:11own hands. With one mighty spear throw
41:14that pierced the entire battlefield, he
41:16struck down not only Mstislav himself
41:18but also two great Alvian princes.
41:21After this victory, all remaining
41:23Alvian clans knelt before him. It was
41:26then that Monomakh took the title of
41:28White Tsar. Around the same time that
41:31the White Tsar became the sole ruler of
41:33the northern power, the third descent
41:35arrived in Teyvat. He wandered the
41:38abandoned island of Hiisi and the
41:39gloomy, fog-shrouded lands of Pohjola.
41:42But the goal of his journey was not
41:44glory at all. He sought the hand of the
41:47White Tsar's daughter, a Maiden of
41:48incomparable beauty. The White Tsar
41:51agreed to give her in marriage, but
41:52only on one condition: the descended
41:54one had to open the gates of Pohjola
41:56for him. Realizing that the Heavenly
41:58Principles would severely punish him
42:00for this act, the descended one still
42:02made his choice. He opened the gates so
42:04that the White Tsar would not send his
42:06own daughter in his place. But as soon
42:08as the descended one crossed the
42:10threshold of Pohjola, the Heavenly
42:11Principles carried out their sentence.
42:14Phanes took his life, and then, joining
42:16with the one who came after him, they
42:17dismembered his body, turning his
42:19remains into the seven hearts of God.
42:22Thus ended the era of independent
42:24states. Of the old order created by the
42:29Heavenly Principles long ago, almost
42:30nothing remained. The angelic race was
42:34destroyed, the moon sisters vanished,
42:36and the lunar envoys could no longer
42:38fulfill their purpose. The old system,
42:41which had maintained order in Teyvat
42:43for centuries, finally collapsed. Then
42:45the Heavenly Sovereign made his new
42:47decision. About 3,700 years ago, he
42:50declared the beginning of the Archon
42:52War. Seven divine thrones were to find
42:55new owners. Only the strongest were
42:57worthy of occupying them, and all of
43:00Teyvat was engulfed in war. But the
43:02cause of the chaos was not only strife
43:04among the gods. While ancient deities
43:07fought for the right to a new world,
43:09countless monsters, demons, and other
43:11entities also sought to expand their
43:13domains. Everyone tried to take
43:15advantage of the ensuing disorder. In
43:18Liyue, the Jade Goddess Alosia went mad
43:20with a thirst for power and decided to
43:22wage war against Morax. And her first
43:25act was to flood the Guili Assembly,
43:27which led to Guizhong's death. Because
43:29of such actions, her own adepti from
43:32the Chinyu lands turned against their
43:34goddess and stopped the flood. Despite
43:36this, the Guili Plains were destroyed.
43:40Powerful landslides turned the fertile
43:42lands into the Dihua Marsh. Morax did
43:44not sit idly by and clashed with Osial
43:46in battle. After defeating and sealing
43:49her, he spotted a young boy fighting
43:51for the Jade Goddess. He took him with
43:53him. To shield him from his past, he
43:55bestowed upon him a new name. Xiao.
43:58Later, the liberated adeptus joined the
44:00Yakshas, wishing to repay his savior
44:02for the freedom he was granted. It was
44:04among them that he received the
44:06callsign Alatus. Only 10 days had
44:08passed. Leaving the ruins of the Guili
44:10Assembly, Morax, Marchosius, and the
44:12adepti led the surviving people south
44:14of Mt. Tianheng. Along the way, the
44:16people faced great storms, and
44:18Marchosius, the God of the Stove, began
44:20cooking for everyone so they could
44:22survive. Thus, the God of the Stove
44:24lost all his divine power and shrank in
44:27size. Through such sacrifices, Morax
44:29and the adepti managed to survive the
44:32migration and later founded Liyue
44:33Harbor. Shining the in this, what have
44:54you had become? How many times I w to
45:04wake you, giving you up. Up my who we
45:25are, how far we gone? Let us he the
45:31myery and we ever prom go gra you no
45:39matter how we. We forever I from the
46:04may have said no, but I have no I he
46:08from. It may have but I over the
46:28shining. What have you become? How many
46:50times I w to wake you up? Giving you up
46:59. Your who we are, how far we let us
47:18hear the myery and to ever gra you, no
47:27matter how we. We shall forever. I hear
47:36it from, it to me over, it may have;
47:44but I have no. I hear it from, it to me
47:52over, it may have been over, but But
48:27even after the harbor was founded, the
48:29war did not end. On the contrary, it
48:31was then that Morax decided to take a
48:32stand against the other gods himself.
48:35He believed the only way to bring peace
48:37to Teyvat was to end the power of those
48:39deities who continued to sow chaos. He
48:41sought to restore order and protect
48:43humanity. The adepti gathered under his
48:46banner. The Yakshas were the first to
48:47charge into battle. A bit later, Morax
48:49heard the pleas of Azhdaha, a blind
48:52geovishap living deep beneath Mt.
48:54Nantianmen. Taking pity on the ancient
48:56creature, Morax brought him to the
48:58surface. With a single touch, he
49:00granted the dragon sight. A contract
49:02was forged between them. Azhdaha
49:04promised never to threaten humanity in
49:06exchange for the right to live near
49:08people. From that day on, he became one
49:11of Morax’s most powerful allies,
49:12helping him in numerous battles across
49:14Teyvat. Decades of war continued. One
49:18by one, Morax defeated gods and
49:19monsters, cleansing his lands. In the
49:23Guyun Stone Forest, he overcame many
49:25ancient foes, among whom was the god
49:26Osial. Finally, about 2,000 years ago,
49:30the war in Liyue came to an end. Having
49:33suppressed all the gods of his region,
49:35Morax ascended the Geo Throne and
49:36became the first Geo Archon. Thus,
49:39long-awaited peace returned to the
49:41lands of Liyue. But in other places,
49:44the beginning of the Archon War was
49:46quite different. Once, far in the north
49:48of Teyvat, a small wolf pup stumbled
49:50upon an ancient temple. Within its
49:52walls, the First Angel had resided for
49:54many centuries. She did not remember
49:57her name or her past, but she knew only
49:59one thing: she had to wait right here.
50:03Deep in her heart, she kept the last
50:05message from her beloved, left before
50:07the war of funeral fire. Wait. And one
50:11day, she would surely return. The
50:13little wolf grew fond of the songs that
50:15the First Angel sang softly. He
50:17remained by her side. Over time, the
50:19angel bestowed upon him a portion of
50:21her divine power. Grown up, the wolf
50:23decided to leave the temple and set out
50:25for the lands of modern Mondstadt to
50:27see if people could live alongside him.
50:30When the Archon War began, the wolf,
50:32later known as Andrius, challenged
50:34Decarabian. But despite the fierce
50:36confrontation between the two lords of
50:38ice and storm, ancient Mondstadt was
50:40barely harmed, and the wolf created icy
50:42gales around the city. Yet, even so,
50:44not a single scratch appeared on the
50:46city walls. The war reached a stalemate
50:48. In those times, one of the oldest
50:50families of the region was a clan that
50:52would later become known as Gunnhildr.
50:54One day, their leader could no longer
50:56tolerate Decarabian’s cruel rule. He
50:59led his people outside the city, but
51:01beyond its walls, only an endless snowy
51:03wasteland awaited them. The cold was
51:05slowly dooming them to death. When
51:07there was almost no hope left, their
51:09prayers were heard. Istaroth answered
51:11the call. The Shade of Time. It was she
51:14who gave life to a small wind spirit
51:16named Barbatos. The people's faith
51:18gradually made him stronger. With every
51:21new prayer, he grew until he finally
51:23gained enough power to create a safe
51:25haven for the exiles. Meanwhile, a
51:28rebellion was brewing inside the city
51:30itself. Decarabian's people rose up
51:32against their lord. Leading the rebels
51:34were the little wind spirit Barbatos, a
51:37nameless bard, Decarabian's lover Amos,
51:39and a red-haired warrior. In the
51:41decisive battle, Decarabian fell, and
51:43along with him perished Amos and the
51:45nameless bard himself. After
51:47Decarabian's death, Barbatos ascended
51:49to divine status. In memory of his
51:51friend, he created a new form for
51:53himself—an exact copy of the nameless
51:55bard—and in honor of Amos, he took
51:57her bow. This is how Teyvat knows him
51:59even today. But not all heroes of that
52:01war shared in this victory. The
52:03red-haired warrior, for some unknown
52:05reason, turned away from Barbatos. Over
52:07time, his name vanished from the
52:08memories of Mondstadt's residents.
52:10However, his deeds were not forgotten.
52:13Later, he started a family, laying the
52:15foundation for the Ragnvindr clan.
52:16Having received the power of an Archon,
52:18Barbatos decided to reshape the very
52:19land. Winds rose over Mondstadt. They
52:22blew away the snow and ice that had
52:23covered the region for centuries.
52:25During this transformation, Pilos Peak
52:27was destroyed. After that, Barbatos led
52:29the people from Decarabian's old
52:31capital to Cider Lake. It was there
52:33that modern Mondstadt was founded.
52:35Watching these events unfold, Andrius
52:37made a difficult decision. He realized
52:39his power brought only cold and
52:41blizzards. It was incapable of granting
52:43life to humanity. Disappointed in
52:44humans and feeling unworthy to rule
52:46over them, he voluntarily renounced his
52:48right to become one of the Seven
52:50Archons. After that, Andrius left
52:52Mondstadt and returned north, to the
52:54place he had once come from. A thousand
52:57years passed. The wolf split his own
52:59soul, allowing a part of it to
53:00accompany a wandering knight to
53:02Mondstadt. Seeing how much the land had
53:05changed over the millennia, he made his
53:07final decision. The wolf allowed his
53:10body to perish. He channeled his power
53:13into the ley lines, blessing the lands
53:15of Mondstadt, and left his spirit here
53:17forever to continue protecting these
53:19people even after death. All these
53:21years, Istaroth remained invisibly by
53:23Barbatos's side. Together they watched
53:25over Mondstadt. The inhabitants revered
53:27them as wind and time, believing that
53:29the wind brings stories, while time
53:31allows them to live and become legends.
53:33But one day, everything changed. The
53:35name of Istaroth gradually faded from
53:36people's memories. Temples stood empty,
53:39and records were lost. And in time,
53:41almost no one remembered that the
53:43shadow of time itself had once stood
53:45beside the Anemo Archon. While
53:49Mondstadt was gaining its archon, the
53:51fate of Inazuma was being decided on
53:53the distant islands. In those days, the
53:56twin goddesses Makoto and Ei crushed
53:58all other gods of Inazuma, conquered
53:59many lands, and united the islands
54:01under a single rule. Though Ei was the
54:04stronger warrior, she believed that
54:06Makoto was the one worthy of becoming
54:07the archon. Therefore, she sacrificed
54:10her own body, allowing her sister to
54:11ascend to Celestia. Thus, Makoto became
54:14the first Electro Archon, the Goddess
54:16of Eternity. A little later, after the
54:18emergence of the Electro Archon,
54:20Orobashi met his fate. Fleeing from the
54:22heavens, he escaped to the land of
54:24Byakuyakoku, Enkanomiya. The residents
54:26of the underground kingdom accepted him
54:28as their god, whereupon he overthrew
54:29the rule of the elders, who for
54:31centuries had sacrificed children to
54:33the sun, and became their new ruler.
54:35But it was here that Orobashi
54:36discovered ancient records revealing
54:39the origin of Phanes and Celestia. This
54:41knowledge was enough for the heavenly
54:43principles to pass a death sentence
54:45upon him. However, they did not send
54:47anyone to kill him. Instead, they
54:50forced Orobashi to choose: either he
54:52would accept his own death, a natural
54:54death, without revealing the true cause
54:56to anyone, or all the people of
54:58Enkanomiya would perish with him. To
55:00save his people, Orobashi led the
55:02residents of Enkanomiya to the surface,
55:04creating Watatsumi Island for them.
55:06Before leaving, knowledge of the
55:08ancient world was hidden behind trials
55:10and puzzles, so that one day only the
55:11worthy could attain it. When everything
55:14was finished, Orobashi headed toward
55:16his own demise. He consciously provoked
55:19Raiden, hiding from everyone the true
55:21reason for his actions. He knew
55:23perfectly well that he could not win.
55:25This battle was fought only to execute
55:27the judgment of heavenly principles and
55:29to save the lives of its people. After
55:31the fall of Arabalika, Enkanomiya was
55:33permanently sealed, and the path to it
55:35was known only to a few priests in
55:37Atatsuma. While Inazuma was
55:39experiencing these events, the era of
55:41the three god-kings began in Sumeru.
55:43Nabu Malikata, the Great Lord
55:45Rukkhadevata, and King Deshret. They
55:47became close allies, marking the
55:49beginning of one of the greatest
55:51periods in the region's history. But
55:53one day, Nabu Malikata foresaw the
55:55approach of a new calamity. Then the
55:57three rulers built Ay-Khanoum, a city
55:59intended for the Jinn. According to
56:02legend, King Deshret sealed the Jinn
56:04into magic vessels, although many
56:06served him willingly in his grand
56:08design. Ay-Khanoum was created
56:10specifically for them, and in return,
56:12the Jinn built the entrance to King
56:14Deshret's mausoleum. During the first
56:16Sabzeruz festival, another significant
56:18event took place. Nabu Malikata
56:20presented the Khvarena to Rukkhadevata,
56:22calling her her own innocent and pure
56:24daughter. Foreseeing the coming
56:26disaster, she gave it to Rukkhadevata
56:28in the hope that one day the Khvarena
56:30could mitigate the consequences of the
56:31future catastrophe. Nabu Malikata also
56:34stole much knowledge from Celestia and
56:36shared a great deal of it with Deshret.
56:38And later, she perished under the cruel
56:40, scorching sun and yellow sands.
56:42Ay-Khanoum was seemingly swallowed by
56:44sandstorms and vanished forever into
56:46the desert. Nabu Malikata herself
56:48desired such a death—one of majesty
56:50—so that the bitterness of her
56:51passing would keep her memory alive
56:53forever. King Deshret, who loved her,
56:55never truly understood this. Using the
56:58knowledge stolen from Celestia, King
57:00Al-Ahmar attempted to build his own
57:02Irminsul for his people, but he never
57:05brought the project to completion.
57:07After the death of Nabu Malikata, he
57:09could no longer abandon the grand plans
57:11that the three god-kings had once
57:13devised. With the death of Nabu
57:14Malikata, the alliance fell apart. King
57:16Deshret and Rukkhadevata went their
57:18separate ways to build their own
57:20civilizations. Rukkhadevata headed to
57:22the east of the great desert. There,
57:24she created the Varuna Device, turning
57:26a portion of the barren lands into a
57:28flourishing rainforest. On the border
57:30of the forest and the desert, the Wall
57:32of Samiel was erected to halt the
57:33encroachment of the sands. Together
57:36with her followers, who later founded
57:37the Sumeru Akademiya, Rukkhadevata
57:39transformed these lands into a
57:40prosperous realm. The city of Sumeru
57:43was built around a giant divine tree,
57:45and the sages of the Akademiya helped
57:47her govern the state. It was then that
57:50Rukkhadevata created the Aranara, small
57:52, plant-like creatures capable of
57:54manipulating dreams. While Rukkhadevata
57:56nurtured life, King Deshret continued
57:58to rule the great red desert. But after
58:01thousands of years, he eventually
58:02succumbed to the poison of forbidden
58:03knowledge. Disaster struck Sumeru once
58:06again. The minds of the people were
58:07filled with maddening whispers. Their
58:09bodies became covered in dark gray
58:11scales. Even the Earth itself began to
58:13lose its life force. Realizing he was
58:15no longer able to stop the catastrophe,
58:17Deshret turned to Rukkhadevata for help
58:19, for the sake of the memory of their
58:21mutual friend. The Lord of Verdure
58:23gathered the priests, ordered them to
58:25build temples, and founded Aaru Village
58:27, the final bastion of Deshret's
58:28civilization. Then she sacrificed a
58:30significant portion of her own power to
58:33suppress the forbidden knowledge. The
58:35price proved to be immense.
58:36Rukkhadevata lost most of her power and
58:39reverted to a child-like form. But even
58:41that was not enough. Realizing there
58:44was no other way, King Deshret
58:46sacrificed his own life, finally
58:47halting the spread of the forbidden
58:49knowledge. After his death, the great
58:52civilization of Deshret crumbled into
58:54many small human states, and
58:56Rukkhadevata ascended the Dendro throne
58:58, becoming the first Dendro Archon. In
59:00those same distant times, another great
59:02ruler began his story. Remus was one of
59:05the gods of Sumeru, where he was known
59:07as the singer of oases. But after King
59:09Deshret conquered his lands, Remus
59:11refused to bow before the new sovereign
59:13. He left Sumeru and set out for the
59:16high seas, hoping to find a place where
59:17he could one day meet his death.
59:20However, fate had prepared a completely
59:21different path for him. Amidst the
59:23waters of the high sea, Remus
59:25discovered the ruins of the ancient
59:26civilization of Miropis, which had
59:28existed even before the sea itself
59:29appeared. Among the few surviving
59:32inhabitants were the Sibyls, former
59:34moon envoys who once guarded the local
59:36Irminsul tree and the Golden Bees. It
59:39was they who revealed his fate to Remus
59:41. He was destined to found the greatest
59:44empire of his time, but one day, this
59:45state's very yearning for justice would
59:47become the cause of its demise.
59:50Accepting the prophecy, Remus awakened
59:52the power of the Irminsul. The tree
59:53transformed into a massive golden ship.
59:56Thus was the empire of Remuria born.
59:59Remus's reign went down in history as
1:00:01the golden age of Fontaine, an era of
1:00:03great symphony. He taught his people to
1:00:06develop agriculture, build majestic
1:00:08cities and temples, and to value music,
1:00:11art, and beauty. Dreaming of creating a
1:00:14state of universal harmony, Remus used
1:00:16the power of Fortuna to unite the
1:00:18surrounding peoples under his rule.
1:00:20Some joined his empire voluntarily;
1:00:23others were conquered by force. Among
1:00:25them were the tribes from which Irenie
1:00:28and Cassiodor later descended. But the
1:00:30more magnificent Remuria became, the
1:00:32more Remus was troubled by the Sibyl's
1:00:34prophecy. He sought a way to change the
1:00:37fate of his own civilization. The Sibyl
1:00:39herself believed that these attempts
1:00:40were meaningless. She said that the
1:00:42rise and fall of states is an
1:00:44inalienable law of Fortuna, yet she
1:00:46pointed him toward the only possible
1:00:49solution. Egeria. In those times,
1:00:51Egeria was still imprisoned in the
1:00:53depths of the Primordial Sea. Her
1:00:55dungeon was guarded by the Hydro
1:00:57sovereign Scylla. When Remus approached
1:00:59it, Scylla immediately engaged him in
1:01:01battle. Their fight lasted for 30 days
1:01:03and 30 nights. Only once they had
1:01:05completely exhausted their strength
1:01:06were they able to stop. Then Remus
1:01:08explained why he had come. Surprised by
1:01:11his dream of creating an ideal state,
1:01:13Scylla allowed him to meet with Egeria,
1:01:15but the conversation did not yield the
1:01:17desired result. Egeria explained that
1:01:20the fate of Fontaine was already sealed
1:01:22by her original sin of creating a new
1:01:24race. It is impossible to change this.
1:01:27And yet, before leaving, she handed
1:01:29Remus a chalice containing the waters
1:01:31of the Primordial Sea. Hoping to
1:01:32realize his dream of a world without
1:01:34wars or conflicts, Remus accepted this
1:01:36gift. The Emperor's ideals struck the
1:01:39Primordial Sea so deeply that it left
1:01:40its original depths and voluntarily
1:01:42joined him. Remus believed that as long
1:01:45as the great symphony of prosperity
1:01:47played, Remuria would never fall. He
1:01:49paid special attention to his empire's
1:01:51capital, Capitolium, but the fear of
1:01:53the prophesied flood never left him. To
1:01:56save his people, Remus mixed the waters
1:01:58of the Primordial Sea with the stone of
1:02:00immortality, creating golden ichor. He
1:02:02intended to preserve the souls and
1:02:04minds of the citizens within this
1:02:05substance. The ichor was placed inside
1:02:07golems. Afterward, Remus attempted to
1:02:10replace all the water of the Primordial
1:02:12Sea with his own golden ichor. And he
1:02:14succeeded in completing the great
1:02:16symphony at the cost of Scylla's very
1:02:17life. Some time after the people of
1:02:20Remuria were encased in stone bodies,
1:02:23Phobos inherited Scylla's lost will. He
1:02:26had no personality left, no desires of
1:02:28his own. Like the angels of old, he
1:02:30existed for only one purpose: to
1:02:32fulfill the desires of men. But that
1:02:34was the beginning of the end. By
1:02:37fulfilling even the cruelest
1:02:38aspirations of his subjects, Phobos
1:02:40gradually turned Remuria into a state
1:02:42where bloodshed became the norm. Anyone
1:02:45who disobeyed his orders was considered
1:02:47a traitor, and the Remurians themselves
1:02:49became increasingly cruel and arrogant,
1:02:51truly believing that this was what
1:02:52their Emperor desired. Seeing what his
1:02:55people had become, Remus realized he
1:02:57had made a mistake. So, he secretly
1:02:59formed an alliance with Scylla.
1:03:01Together, they decided to destroy
1:03:02Phobos. According to Remus's plan,
1:03:04Scylla led an army of vishaps against
1:03:06Capitolium. During this battle, Remus
1:03:08himself perished, releasing the power
1:03:10of the great symphony. However,
1:03:11everything went far differently than he
1:03:13had expected. The warrior Garmast saw
1:03:15his Emperor's actions as a betrayal. He
1:03:18stole the golden ichor and used it to
1:03:20seal away Scylla. Thus, Remuria
1:03:22collapsed. The empire, along with its
1:03:24people, sank beneath the waves. At that
1:03:26very moment, the golden ichor began to
1:03:28slowly decay under the influence of the
1:03:29Primordial Sea. All who survived the
1:03:31fall of the empire gradually lost
1:03:33everything that Remus had given them.
1:03:35They reverted to the barbarians and
1:03:37conquerors they had been before the
1:03:38founding of Remuria. After the fall of
1:03:41the Great Empire, Celestia ordered
1:03:43Egeria to leave her prison. She
1:03:45returned to Fontaine, gathered the
1:03:46survivors, reconciled the warring
1:03:48nations, and ordered them to build new
1:03:50cities around water sources. Thus began
1:03:52the era of a state living under the
1:03:54rule of law. Egeria received the Gnosis
1:03:56, took the Hydro throne, and became the
1:03:58first Hydro Archon among the seven.
1:04:02While other regions of Teyvat were
1:04:04gradually gaining their Archons, the
1:04:06history of Natlan unfolded quite
1:04:07differently. Shortly before the Archon
1:04:10War, the human civilization of Natlan
1:04:12had practically disappeared. It was
1:04:14conquered by dragons led by the
1:04:16Sovereign Xbalanque. Most of the people
1:04:18were destroyed. The region itself was
1:04:21torn apart by the endless internecine
1:04:23wars of the dragons. However, over time
1:04:25, even their civilization began to
1:04:27slowly fade. Kukulkan was the first to
1:04:29realize that the dragon era was coming
1:04:31to an end. To give this world a chance
1:04:33at a future, he bestowed the power of
1:04:35phlogiston upon the primitive humans,
1:04:37allowing human civilization to flourish
1:04:39once more. Then Kukulkan created his
1:04:42own son, Och-Kan, born half-human and
1:04:45half-dragon. He hoped that one day,
1:04:48Och-Kan would be able to unite two
1:04:50peoples and become the ruler of a new
1:04:52era. It was during this time that the
1:04:54foundations of the seven tribes of
1:04:56Natlan were laid. But the situation for
1:04:57the dragons continued to worsen. The
1:04:59decline had become irreversible. Then
1:05:01Xbalanque modified one of his disciples
1:05:03, turning him into the control center
1:05:06for the Utselpochli. Systems designed
1:05:08to destroy a world that had fallen
1:05:10under the rule of the heavenly order.
1:05:12During the Archon War, there were no
1:05:14deities fighting each other in Natlan,
1:05:16unlike in other regions. That is why
1:05:18the people of Natlan remember little of
1:05:20those times. But after the dragons grew
1:05:22weak and there was no one left to fight
1:05:24, humans began warring among themselves
1:05:27. And so, Xbalanque steps onto the
1:05:29historical stage, the future leader of
1:05:31the human race of Natlan. He journeys
1:05:34to the dungeon where Och-Kan had
1:05:35imprisoned himself of his own free will
1:05:37. Not a bad little place. Though, it
1:05:58wouldn't hurt to add a bit of light.
1:06:07Leave me be, stranger. Have you come to
1:06:11mock me, like the village children? I
1:06:15am staying here because I decided to
1:06:18mock you myself. You are truly a fool.
1:06:22A fool who dragged himself into a
1:06:24prison, even though he never did anyone
1:06:26harm. Am I right, Och-Kan? That name.
1:06:33You should not know it. My existence
1:06:37itself is a sin. Leave. A sin because
1:06:42you are half-dragon. What? How? You
1:06:47know, an entire generation of humans
1:06:50has never even seen a dragon. And when
1:06:53they disappeared, it turned out the
1:06:55tribes had no more reason to unite.
1:06:57They turned against one another, and
1:06:59since then, bloody battles have never
1:07:01ceased in the Night Kingdom. Humanity
1:07:04is in a sorry state, but everything can
1:07:08change. Come with me, and you can take
1:07:11revenge on those who made you. Revenge
1:07:16on the dragon lords who dwell where
1:07:18humans cannot yet reach.
1:07:21The future you see...who are you?
1:07:25Nothing but ordinary blood flows
1:07:27through my veins. I was a simple lad
1:07:29who felt the power of the dragons. But
1:07:32now I am the one who will traverse all
1:07:34of Natlan, end to end, to put an end to
1:07:37them. By the strength of my will,
1:07:39humanity will reclaim its destiny, and
1:07:41the sun will rise, blessing a new era.
1:07:45I am Xbalanque, and you, Och-Kan, shall
1:07:48become my first comrade. And you do not
1:07:54care that I am not human? On the
1:07:57contrary, of all the people I have met,
1:07:59you are the most human of them all. You
1:08:06carry no sins, and there is no reason
1:08:08for you to remain here. You are a great
1:08:17god, Xbalanque. The level of heavenly
1:08:40fire is at 99.96%. A critical reaction
1:08:46with phlogiston will occur in one hour.
1:08:50What is it, little brother? The Abyss
1:08:51has truly swallowed his mind. Do you
1:08:54want your entire kin to meet their
1:08:56death on your funeral pyre? Destruction
1:09:00is the foundation for the birth of
1:09:02something new. I will trigger the
1:09:05system when everything is ready. Are
1:09:09you willing to betray the whole world
1:09:11over a personal vendetta? There is
1:09:15another way. Then stop me. If you can
1:09:21find someone strong enough, send them
1:09:24to kill me. But remember, Kukulcan, one
1:09:29day you will follow in my footsteps. I
1:09:36hope that never happens. Kukulcan, it
1:09:41seems fate has finally caught up with
1:09:44me. Pitiful usurper. How dare you
1:10:15challenge me? So, you are afraid of me.
1:12:20Xuhualpel, lord of the primordial fire.
1:12:23The embodiment of light, warmth, and
1:12:26wisdom. You will only have one chance.
1:12:33So, the time has come. Ah. What? It
1:14:04cannot be. Our sun cannot set. Great
1:14:47Xbalanque, you are alive. Oh, how I
1:14:52have missed you. The flame of Sheuku
1:14:58has become mine. And here I am, my
1:15:02master. The day you promised has
1:15:06arrived. Who? What are you? What was
1:15:37that? I am the envoy of the Heavenly
1:15:41Order. I command death. You have seen
1:15:45the future of Natlan and all of Teyvat.
1:15:48If the Abyss wins the war, death. The
1:15:52Abyss, the Heavenly Order. How
1:15:54ridiculous. Humans have shed blood for
1:15:57centuries to defeat the dragons. And
1:16:00this is our reward. A new war. You
1:16:05could say that. Pyro Archon. The
1:16:10Heavenly Order has great expectations
1:16:12of you. And just so you know, he loves
1:16:15humans.
1:16:20Hey, wait! I have questions.
1:16:30Are you leaving already? I don't recall
1:16:33agreeing to a war against the Abyss. If
1:16:37you want humans to fight the Abyss for
1:16:39you, I have three conditions.
1:16:44Oh, how interesting. No mortal has ever
1:16:48tried to bargain with me before. Very
1:16:51well, I am listening. To think. The
1:17:01Heavenly Order agreed to the terms of a
1:17:04mere mortal. This man is as cunning as
1:17:07he is strong.
1:17:09You have always underestimated humanity
1:17:12. One day, you will understand. Father,
1:17:17lord of the night, I beg you, remember
1:17:19this first sunrise. The first ancient
1:17:22name, Kion Gozi. I will leave hope for
1:17:26the future; as long as the flame has
1:17:29not died, hope will live on. Zanatlan.
1:17:34Ultimately, Xbalanque and Kukulcan
1:17:36joined forces against Xucuatl. Each of
1:17:39them took one of his eyes, swearing to
1:17:41maintain peace between humans and
1:17:42dragons. After that, Xbalanque received
1:17:44the power of Ranova. It was with this
1:17:47power that he established a system of
1:17:49laws for mortals, allowing humans to
1:17:50one day ascend to the Pyro Throne. And
1:17:53at that same time, the Rite of
1:17:54Resurrection was created to aid in the
1:17:56fight against the Abyss. Meanwhile, far
1:18:00to the north, Snezhnaya continued to
1:18:01grow stronger. About 2,000 years ago,
1:18:04the White Tsar took the Cryo Throne,
1:18:05becoming the first Cryo Archon. By this
1:18:08point, the new era of Teyvat had fully
1:18:10taken shape. Barbatos became the Anemo
1:18:12Archon. Morax took the Geo Throne. The
1:18:15Electro Gnosis was received by Raiden
1:18:17Makoto. The Dendro Archon became the
1:18:19Great Lord Rukkhadevata. The first
1:18:21Hydro Archon was Egeria. After the
1:18:24victory over Xucuatl, Samara Nova named
1:18:26Xbalanque the first Pyro Archon, and in
1:18:28the distant north, the White Tsar
1:18:30became the Cryo Archon, cementing his
1:18:32rule over Snezhnaya. Thus concluded the
1:18:35formation of the seven thrones of the
1:18:37new order, which would determine the
1:18:39fate of Teyvat for many millennia to
1:18:41come. A powerful enemy descends upon
1:18:46Natlan to strike at the land. To save
1:18:48his country, the first Pyro Archon,
1:18:50Xbalanque, sacrifices himself by
1:18:52entering the Sacred Flame. After his
1:18:54death, power passes to Ochkan, son of
1:18:56Kukulkan, whom Xbalanque once trusted
1:18:58with the future of his country. All the
1:19:01tribes unite into a Great Alliance and
1:19:03recognize Ochkan as their ruler. On the
1:19:05ruins of the ancient Tlecuatepec, he
1:19:07constructs a new capital, Ockanatlan.
1:19:10At the beginning of his reign, he is
1:19:11aided by the dragon Itzpapalotl.
1:19:13However, a conflict soon arises between
1:19:15them. Ochkan lures her into the core of
1:19:17the Phlogiston, intending to turn the
1:19:19dragon into an eternal source of energy
1:19:21for his city. When Itzpapalotl resists,
1:19:24Ochkan uses his own draconic nature to
1:19:26create a new Phlogiston core that
1:19:28completely submits to his will.
1:19:30Gradually, Ochkan abandons the ideals
1:19:32of Xbalanque. He violates his
1:19:35commandments, becomes obsessed with
1:19:36destroying dragons and their
1:19:37descendants, the Saurians, cruelly
1:19:39rules his own people, and forbids the
1:19:40worship of ancestors and the Night
1:19:42Kingdom. It is then that he receives
1:19:44the nickname "The Tyrant." At this time
1:19:47, a young warrior with scarlet eyes, at
1:19:49the behest of an elder, leaves his
1:19:51village to avoid certain capture. In
1:19:53exile, it is he who becomes the second
1:19:55Pyro Archon, chosen by the Sacred Flame
1:19:57after the death of Xbalanque. Having
1:19:59gained the power of an Archon, he
1:20:01begins to gather around him everyone
1:20:03who stands against Ochkan's tyranny.
1:20:05Soon, Natlan is engulfed in a civil war
1:20:07. The Murata remain loyal to Ochkan,
1:20:10while the other six tribes support the
1:20:12new Pyro Archon. In the end, Ochkan
1:20:14suffers defeat. The second Pyro Archon
1:20:17and his allies overthrow the Tyrant,
1:20:19after which Ockanatlan is abandoned and
1:20:21cursed forever. However, Ochkan himself
1:20:23does not perish. To escape death, he
1:20:25separates his consciousness from his
1:20:27body and imprisons his mind within the
1:20:28heart of the Phlogiston. His body turns
1:20:30into a massive dragon, which still
1:20:32rests in the City of Flowing Ash to
1:20:34this day. On the southern plains of
1:20:36Natlan, Vennessa and her younger sister
1:20:38Lind are born. During the civil war,
1:20:41their tribe leaves their homeland, and
1:20:43fleeing from famine and the dragon Ursa
1:20:45, they arrive in Mondstadt. Here, the
1:20:48Murata are enslaved. Thanks to her
1:20:50incredible strength, Vennessa becomes a
1:20:52gladiator. Chains are physically
1:20:54incapable of holding her. However, she
1:20:56voluntarily remains a prisoner, fearing
1:20:58for the lives of her people. About
1:21:012,600 years ago, from pure Anemo energy
1:21:04gathered high in the heavens, the
1:21:06elemental dragon Dvalin is born. The
1:21:09appearance of such dragons is an
1:21:11extremely rare phenomenon. In their
1:21:12power, they are comparable to gods, and
1:21:14in ancient times, they often waged wars
1:21:16against them. However, Barbatos did not
1:21:18choose to fight Dvalin. Instead, he
1:21:20befriended him, and the dragon became
1:21:22one of the Four Winds, a protector of
1:21:24Mondstadt, and a revered being among
1:21:26the people. During this same period,
1:21:28the Hexenzirkel challenges Barbatos to
1:21:30a duel. However, the Anemo Archon
1:21:32rejects their challenge and proposes to
1:21:34settle the dispute with a song. Thus,
1:21:35instead of enemies, they become allies,
1:21:38and Barbatos agrees to conceal one of
1:21:40the coven's secret meeting places and
1:21:42their magical lantern. A bit later,
1:21:44Barbatos leaves Mondstadt, and in his
1:21:46absence, power gradually shifts to the
1:21:48aristocracy. All noble clans trace
1:21:50their origins back to the heroes of the
1:21:53Archon War era. Among the most
1:21:55well-known are the Lawrence, Gunnhildr,
1:21:57and Imunlaukr clans. Over time, it is
1:21:59the Lawrence clan that becomes the
1:22:01rulers of the city. Gradually, they
1:22:03turn into cruel tyrants, enslaving the
1:22:05people and considering themselves the
1:22:07rightful masters of Mondstadt. The
1:22:09Gunnhildr clan preserves its honor, but
1:22:11no longer holds its former influence.
1:22:13The fate of the Imunlaukr family
1:22:15remains unknown. To maintain power, the
1:22:18aristocracy destroys historical records
1:22:20, suppresses any expression of freedom,
1:22:23and turns dissenters into slaves. The
1:22:25Order of the Starry Sky Knights serves
1:22:27the nobles. Court mages help keep the
1:22:30people in ignorance, and the high
1:22:32clergy of the Church of Favonius
1:22:33justifies the actions of the ruling
1:22:35elite. This is roughly how the
1:22:38wandering troupe appeared—a union of
1:22:40musicians and warriors who arrived from
1:22:42all over Teyvat. They were also known
1:22:43as the troupe of swordsmen. After
1:22:45clashing with an unknown enemy in the
1:22:47Ash Sea, they reach Mondstadt and
1:22:49attempt to overthrow the aristocratic
1:22:51regime. The attempt ends in defeat.
1:22:53Most of the participants perish, while
1:22:55the others end up in slavery or are
1:22:57forced to flee. Following this,
1:22:59Barbatos returns to Mondstadt once
1:23:01again. He helps Vennessa spark an
1:23:02uprising, overthrow the rule of the
1:23:04aristocracy, and restore freedom to the
1:23:06city. After the victory, Vennessa and
1:23:08Barbatos lay the foundation for a new
1:23:10Mondstadt. The old noble orders are
1:23:12abolished, and in their place, the
1:23:14Knights of Favonius emerge—an
1:23:15organization dedicated to protecting
1:23:17the freedom of the city's residents.
1:23:19The Church of Favonius also changes,
1:23:20beginning to serve the city of
1:23:22Mondstadt itself rather than the
1:23:23interests of the nobility. Shortly
1:23:25after the liberation of the city,
1:23:26Vennessa sets out to battle the dragon
1:23:28Ursa. Having fulfilled her destiny as a
1:23:30protector of the people, she ascends to
1:23:32Celestia, becoming one of the few
1:23:34mortals to be granted such an honor.
1:23:37After Vennessa's ascension, Barbatos
1:23:39leaves Mondstadt again, allowing the
1:23:40people to determine their own destiny.
1:23:43Governance of the city passes fully to
1:23:45the Knights of Favonius, who remain the
1:23:47primary guardians of freedom to this
1:23:49day. According to Mondstadt legends,
1:23:51after her ascension, Vennessa became
1:23:53the Great Falcon of the West, one of
1:23:54the Four Winds, continuing to silently
1:23:56watch over her homeland. In Khaenri'ah,
1:23:59things are different. When the Crimson
1:24:01Moon Dynasty was in power, Pierro, a
1:24:03lad from another world, arrives in
1:24:05their kingdom and ends up in a local
1:24:07orphanage. Over time, he becomes one of
1:24:10the most influential figures in the
1:24:12kingdom, earning the nickname Pierro
1:24:13the Invincible. Later, the Crimson Moon
1:24:16Dynasty is replaced by the Eclipse
1:24:18Dynasty. It is under this new dynasty
1:24:20that the development of Field Tillers
1:24:22—that is, Ruin Guards and ancient
1:24:23mechanisms—begins. Apparently, their
1:24:27technology was based on the legacy of
1:24:29the dragon civilization and was
1:24:30intended for a future struggle against
1:24:32Celestia. At this same time in Liyue,
1:24:35Azhdaha begins to gradually lose his
1:24:37memory. His memories are being erased,
1:24:39and his mind is deteriorating more and
1:24:41more. Morax tries to help his old
1:24:43friend and stop this process. However,
1:24:45all attempts prove unsuccessful. Over
1:24:48time, Azhdaha becomes increasingly
1:24:50irritable and stops recognizing even
1:24:52those closest to him. Simultaneously,
1:24:54the residents of Liyue continue to
1:24:55actively mine ore in the mountains,
1:24:57excessively draining the leylines of
1:24:58the earth. For Azhdaha, whose life was
1:25:00inextricably bound to their energy,
1:25:02this resulted in unbearable suffering.
1:25:05Constant pain, compounded by the loss
1:25:06of his memories, eventually drove him
1:25:08to the brink of madness. He attacked
1:25:10the miners of the Chasm and destroyed
1:25:12the settlement in the Tianqiu Valley,
1:25:14attempting to put an end to his own
1:25:16torment. In the end, Morax was forced
1:25:18to seal Azhdaha away in the underground
1:25:20dimension beneath Nantianmen. Around
1:25:22this same time, a boy named Ru was born
1:25:24on Tsurumi Island. While preparing for
1:25:26a ritual in honor of the Thunderbird,
1:25:28she accidentally heard his singing and
1:25:30became enchanted by his voice. A
1:25:32friendship blossomed between them, and
1:25:34Ru gave her the name Kapatcir. Since
1:25:37the bird herself had long forgotten her
1:25:39true name, they promised to meet again
1:25:41before parting ways. However, some of
1:25:44the Tsurumi inhabitants soon left the
1:25:46island. Those who remained mistook
1:25:48their disappearance for death and
1:25:49decided that the Thunderbird demanded a
1:25:52new sacrifice. Ru voluntarily agreed to
1:25:54be sacrificed, hoping to appease the
1:25:56deity and bring the missing people back
1:25:58. When Kapatcir learned what had
1:26:01happened, she was overcome by
1:26:02indescribable rage. To her, it was not
1:26:05a sacred offering, but a senseless
1:26:07murder of an innocent child and a
1:26:08violation of the promise made to her.
1:26:11In her fury, she destroyed the entire
1:26:12Tsurumi tribe and caused a powerful
1:26:14distortion of the Ley Lines. Because of
1:26:16this, the island became forever trapped
1:26:18in the day of its own destruction.
1:26:19Afterward, the Thunderbird flew away to
1:26:22Seirai Island. Some time later, Raiden
1:26:24Ei tracked her down and killed her,
1:26:26viewing her as a dangerous monster
1:26:28threatening Inazuma. The remnants of
1:26:30her power were sealed within the Asase
1:26:32Shrine and transformed into a cluster
1:26:34of elemental energy known as the
1:26:36Thunder Manifestation. Protective seals
1:26:39were erected across the island to
1:26:40contain the residual power of Kapatcir.
1:26:44Following the deaths of Nabuu Malikata
1:26:46and King Deshret, Greater Lord
1:26:48Rukkhadevata used Khvarena to create
1:26:50the divine bird, Simurgh. She charged
1:26:52the bird with guarding the border
1:26:54between life and death and protecting
1:26:55these lands from the forces of the
1:26:57Abyss. Meanwhile, in Fontaine, Egeria
1:26:59banished criminals and all those
1:27:01rejected by society from the nation.
1:27:03Later, some of the exiles repented and
1:27:05begged her for forgiveness. Hearing
1:27:07their prayers through the waters of the
1:27:09Primordial Sea, Egeria granted them a
1:27:10chance at redemption. She tasked them
1:27:13with guarding the entrance to the
1:27:14Primordial Sea. And for this purpose,
1:27:16the Fortress of Meropide was built.
1:27:18Over time, the true purpose of the
1:27:20fortress was forgotten, and it
1:27:22gradually turned into an ordinary
1:27:24Fontaine prison. About 500 years ago,
1:27:30Arundolyn, Rostam, and
1:27:31Rosalyne-Kruzchka Lohefalter were born.
1:27:34Arundolyn and his childhood friend
1:27:35Rostam grew up in Mondstadt and served
1:27:37in the Knights of Favonius. Later,
1:27:39Arundolyn became the Grand Master,
1:27:41known as the Lion of Light, while
1:27:43Rostam earned the title of "Wolf Pup"
1:27:45at age 27, preferring to perform the
1:27:47most dangerous work in the shadows
1:27:49without the constraints of chivalric
1:27:50law, allowing Arundolyn to remain the
1:27:52paragon of a noble knight. It is
1:27:55believed that it was Rostam who
1:27:56continued to lead the secret society of
1:27:58the Kreuzlied, founded around this time
1:28:00. Rostam also developed a swordsmanship
1:28:03style that later became the foundation
1:28:04of the Knights of Favonius' fencing
1:28:06arts and is still used by the knights
1:28:08to this day. Arundalin's own style,
1:28:10fighting with a two-handed sword in one
1:28:12hand and a longsword in the other,
1:28:14required incredible physical strength.
1:28:17Few were able to replicate it, so over
1:28:19time, this art was lost. Shortly before
1:28:22the cataclysm, Rostam and Rosalyn fall
1:28:23in love with each other. Soon after,
1:28:25Rosalyn leaves the Anemo region and
1:28:27sets off to study at the Sumeru Academy
1:28:30. Meanwhile in Liyue, Morax strikes a
1:28:33contract with an unknown party, vowing
1:28:35never to reveal what occurs during the
1:28:37cataclysm. By this time, of the five
1:28:40great Yakshas, only Bosacius and Alatus
1:28:42remain in service. Before finally
1:28:44losing his mind, Bosacius wishes to
1:28:46seal away his treasure and put an end
1:28:48to his suffering. After abandoning his
1:28:51post, he is drawn to a conflict in the
1:28:53Chasm, where he goes to fight. Since
1:28:56then, Alatus remains the last known
1:28:57Yaksha in this world. In Inazuma, in
1:29:00the lands of Hakushin, Yae Miko is born
1:29:03. Later, the kitsune Saigu, charmed by
1:29:05her, takes her to the Grand Narukami
1:29:07Shrine. At the same time, Takamine,
1:29:09known as the Mistsplitter, challenges
1:29:11the great Tengu to a duel. Their battle
1:29:14ends in a draw. In exchange for the
1:29:16Tengu's bow, Takamine becomes her
1:29:17servant for several years and settles
1:29:19at the Grand Narukami Shrine. There, he
1:29:22studies the art of Tengu archery and
1:29:24swordsmanship, then passes his mastery
1:29:26on to Asase Hibiki. Meanwhile in
1:29:29Fontaine, Egeria realizes that an
1:29:30ancient prophecy will one day befall
1:29:32her people. Not wanting her followers
1:29:36to suffer for her original sin, she
1:29:38chooses one of the Oceanids, Focalors,
1:29:40as her successor, hoping she will find
1:29:43a way to deceive Celestia and change
1:29:45their predestined fate. About 500 years
1:29:49ago, the Traveler arrives in Teyvat on
1:29:51their spacecraft. However, the ship
1:29:54crashes in Khaenri'ah, and the Traveler
1:29:56loses consciousness. Meanwhile, their
1:29:58twin ends up in Khaenri'ah. King Irmin
1:30:02proclaims them the heir and savior
1:30:03destined to rid Khaenri'ah of all
1:30:05calamities and lead its people to a
1:30:07great future. At this same time, Pierro
1:30:10desperately tries to prevent Irmin and
1:30:12the sages of Khaenri'ah from tearing
1:30:14the veil of sin. For this, the twin's
1:30:16body is used as a vessel for the Abyss.
1:30:18Under the pretext of freeing the
1:30:20greatest seer of Khaenri'ah, Vedrfolnir
1:30:22. His younger brother, along with the
1:30:24alchemist Rhinedottir, Surtalogi, and
1:30:26Hroptatyr, perform a special ritual.
1:30:28They divide the abyssal power trapped
1:30:30within the twin among themselves,
1:30:32becoming the five great sinners of
1:30:33Khaenri'ah. This very day in history
1:30:36would be called the great cataclysm.
1:30:38The shadows initially descend upon
1:30:40Khaenri'ah. The underground kingdom is
1:30:42destroyed, and the monsters of the
1:30:44Abyss break out onto the surface of
1:30:46Teyvat, sowing chaos in all seven
1:30:47regions. Many residents would later
1:30:50link the appearance of these monsters
1:30:52specifically to Rhinedottir, nicknamed
1:30:54"Gold," because her Rifthounds became
1:30:55the vanguard of the invasion. After the
1:30:58Abyss moves beyond the borders of
1:30:59Khaenri'ah, the seven Archons intervene
1:31:01in the war. Together with the shades of
1:31:04Phanes, they participate in the
1:31:05destruction of the kingdom, which leads
1:31:07to the fall of the Black Sun dynasty
1:31:09and the final demise of the Khaenri'ah
1:31:10civilization. The Traveler’s sibling
1:31:14witnesses the death of not only
1:31:15soldiers but also civilians, including
1:31:17children. Most survivors are struck by
1:31:20the curse of immortality, cast by the
1:31:22shade of death, Rhinedottir, turning
1:31:24them into hilichurls. Pierro becomes a
1:31:26witness to the casting of this curse.
1:31:28The sibling still has a chance to try
1:31:30and save Khaenri'ah. However, at this
1:31:33moment, they are found by Dainsleif, an
1:31:35ordinary boy and native of Khaenri'ah.
1:31:38As proof of his meeting with the
1:31:40Traveler, he shows a hibernation key.
1:31:43Realizing that their sibling is still
1:31:45alive, the twin makes the difficult
1:31:47decision to leave the dying Khaenri'ah
1:31:48and head to the crash site. There, they
1:31:51find the Traveler in a stasis capsule
1:31:53and awaken them. The twins immediately
1:31:55attempt to leave Teyvat. However, they
1:31:57are stopped by Asmoday, the Sustainer
1:31:59of Heavenly Principles. In a desperate
1:32:01attempt to escape, they engage her in
1:32:03battle, summoning their wings and
1:32:04special swords. But the forces are
1:32:07uneven. Asmoday seals first the twin,
1:32:10and then the Traveler, into cubes. The
1:32:12Traveler falls back into a slumber that
1:32:15will last for the next 500 years.
1:32:18During the Cataclysm, the Knights of
1:32:20Favonius, led by Grand Master Arundolyn
1:32:22and Rostam, embark on an expedition to
1:32:24Khaenri'ah to stop the invasion of
1:32:26abyssal monsters. Among the expedition
1:32:28members is Rostam’s pupil, the White
1:32:30Knight Roland. For his ruthless fight
1:32:32against monsters, he earns the nickname
1:32:34"Blood-Stained Knight." However,
1:32:36venturing deep into the ruins of
1:32:38Khaenri'ah, Roland discovers the true
1:32:39origin of the monsters and the terrible
1:32:41fate of the underground kingdom's
1:32:42inhabitants, turned into hilichurls.
1:32:44Having lost faith in the justice of the
1:32:46world, he eventually finds himself
1:32:48consumed by the Abyss. At this same
1:32:50time, the Khaenri'ah alchemist
1:32:51Rhinedottir creates one of her greatest
1:32:53works, Durin. She sends him and other
1:32:56created beings to the surface of Teyvat
1:32:58, wishing to display their beauty.
1:33:00However, upon reaching Mondstadt, Durin
1:33:02begins to destroy the city. Likely not
1:33:05even realizing his own actions. By that
1:33:07moment, Arundolyn had already stopped
1:33:08fighting following the death of Rostam
1:33:10during the expedition to Khaenri'ah. In
1:33:12the Knights of Favonius, there was no
1:33:14one left who could stand against the
1:33:15abyssal dragon. Hearing the pleas of
1:33:17the residents, Barbatos awakens Dvalin,
1:33:19and together they engage in battle with
1:33:21Durin. They manage to achieve victory.
1:33:23However, Dvalin is infected by the
1:33:25dragon’s poisonous blood, corrupted
1:33:26by the power of the Abyss. To heal, he
1:33:28hides in Decarabian’s tower and falls
1:33:31into a centuries-long slumber.
1:33:33Meanwhile, Rosalyne-Kruzchka Lohefalter
1:33:35returns from the Sumeru Academia to
1:33:37Mondstadt and learns of Rostam's death.
1:33:40Unable to cope with the grief, she uses
1:33:42the liquid flame art she learned at the
1:33:44academy to turn her own body into
1:33:46living fire, dedicating her life to
1:33:47burning the monsters of the Abyss. Thus
1:33:50, the Crimson Witch of Embers is born.
1:33:53During the Cataclysm, one of the places
1:33:55in Liyue that suffered the most is the
1:33:57Chasm and the Dunyu Ruins. An iron
1:33:59meteorite falls into the Chasm, from
1:34:01which abyssal monsters begin to break
1:34:03out to the surface. In response, Morax
1:34:05sends the Millelith to protect the
1:34:07miners and evacuate the civilians. One
1:34:09of the nameless Yakshas, who once made
1:34:12it his duty to protect Liyue, returns
1:34:14to make a final stand alongside the
1:34:16Millelith. During the battle, Bosacius,
1:34:18the mortal thaumaturge Boyang, and the
1:34:20Millelith vanguard devise a plan to
1:34:22seal the monsters deep within the Chasm
1:34:24. To do this, they use a fantastic
1:34:27compass-like device capable of
1:34:29manipulating space. However, the
1:34:31artifact requires a constant stream of
1:34:33energy from both an adeptus and a
1:34:34mortal simultaneously. At the decisive
1:34:37moment, Bosacius, Boyang, and the
1:34:38entire vanguard voluntarily remain
1:34:40inside the trap, sacrificing their
1:34:42lives so that the monsters remain
1:34:44sealed forever. Only a few of the
1:34:46battle's participants survive. Juanchao
1:34:48, Boyang's brother, loses his mind.
1:34:50Another Millelith soldier loses all
1:34:52four of his limbs while saving miners.
1:34:54What exactly happened in the ruins of
1:34:56Dunyu remains unknown. Neither the
1:34:58residents who left the city nor the
1:35:00adepti ever spoke of what occurred. It
1:35:02is only known that the entire
1:35:04population moved to Liyue Harbor, and
1:35:06the city itself was abandoned. It is
1:35:08assumed that the cause was the abyss
1:35:10spreading from the Chasm. This theory
1:35:13is confirmed by Bosacius's order to
1:35:15hold a defensive line about 60 miles
1:35:17from the Chasm, which suggests the wave
1:35:19of monsters reached the Dunyu ruins.
1:35:23Meanwhile, in Inazuma, Kujou Shigeyori
1:35:25builds a fortress and establishes the
1:35:27Kujou Encampment on the Kannazuka front
1:35:29line. Takamine the Mistsplitter and
1:35:32Mikoshi Chiyo fight alongside Ei, who
1:35:34serves as the Raiden Shogun while
1:35:36Makoto is in Khaenri'ah confronting the
1:35:38forces of the abyss. Takamine, despite
1:35:41his promise to return to Asase Hibiki,
1:35:43perishes, consumed by the monsters of
1:35:45the abyss; Mikoshi Chiyo is swallowed
1:35:47by a beast of sin with the body of a
1:35:49tiger and the head of a snake. She
1:35:51manages to tear the monster apart from
1:35:53the inside. However, the filth of the
1:35:55abyss deeply corrupts her mind. Upon
1:35:57her return, Chiyo attacks Ei, but is
1:35:59defeated and forced to flee. This event
1:36:02forever tarnished the reputation of the
1:36:04Mikoshi clan. During these same events,
1:36:06Kitsune Saiguu perishes, consumed by
1:36:08the dark forces of the abyss. Most of
1:36:10her memories dissolve into the filth,
1:36:12and the surviving portion later takes
1:36:14the form of Hanachirusato. After Ei
1:36:16manages to stabilize the situation in
1:36:18Inazuma, she heads to Khaenri'ah to
1:36:20help her sister. However, she arrives
1:36:23too late. She finds a mortally wounded
1:36:26Makoto and bears witness to her final
1:36:28words. Ei manages to preserve Makoto's
1:36:30consciousness realm and bring it back
1:36:32to Inazuma. Upon returning home, Ei
1:36:34discovers that a Sacred Sakura has
1:36:36appeared on the peak of Mt. Yougou. Yet
1:36:38everyone around her insists that the
1:36:40tree has always existed there. Later,
1:36:41she concludes that the appearance of
1:36:43the Sakura was a miracle linked to
1:36:45Makoto's consciousness, made possible
1:36:48by Astaroth. Transcending time, the
1:36:50power of the Sacred Sakura allows for
1:36:51the cleansing of Inazuma from most of
1:36:53the aftermath of the cataclysm. In
1:36:55Sumeru, Greater Lord Rukkhadevata sets
1:36:57off for Tunigi, where the abyss is
1:36:59raging. The remains of Egeria form the
1:37:02pool of Amrita, and to anchor its power
1:37:04in the mortal realm, Rukkhadevata grows
1:37:06the Harvisptokhm. At this moment, the
1:37:08Simurgh awakens. Following her destiny,
1:37:10she drinks the Amrita, cleanses it of
1:37:12the abyss's filth, and sacrifices
1:37:14herself. Her body breaks down into
1:37:16countless Khvarena, the most sentient
1:37:19of which become the Pari. So, the gift
1:37:22left on Bumalikata a few thousand years
1:37:24ago has finally found its purpose.
1:37:27Meanwhile, in Fontaine, another of
1:37:29Rhinedottir's creations appears: the
1:37:32great beast of the Abyss, Elinas,
1:37:34spreading corruption across land and
1:37:36sea. The Fontaine armada sets out on
1:37:39its final campaign. For 35 days, the
1:37:41fleet pursues Elinas while fending off
1:37:43attacks from abyssal monsters. In the
1:37:46end, the ships strike in a final
1:37:47ramming maneuver. However, Elinas
1:37:49sustains mortal wounds. Although its
1:37:51body perishes, the consciousness of the
1:37:53abyssal creature continues to exist.
1:37:56The Abyss does not spare Natlan, which
1:37:58bears the most devastating blow of all
1:38:00Teyvat's regions. With the Ley Lines
1:38:03weakened, the black tide spreads with
1:38:05alarming speed. During this time, the
1:38:08tribes themselves are torn apart by
1:38:09fierce, internecine wars. In this
1:38:11period, Rhinedottir’s creation,
1:38:13Bakunawa, invades Teochtl, destroying
1:38:15almost all its inhabitants and the
1:38:17Muratan tribe. Only Tenoch survives,
1:38:19having been exiled from the city before
1:38:21the Cataclysm began. To stop the beast,
1:38:23several Pyro Archons—Kochanina,
1:38:25Xbalanque, Glahari, and Saya—unite
1:38:28their powers. One after another, they
1:38:30fall, succeeding only in temporarily
1:38:31holding back Bakunawa. Only the last of
1:38:33them remains alive, continuing to
1:38:35restrain the monster. At the same time,
1:38:37the legendary warrior Tenoch, famed for
1:38:40his giant obsidian weapon, gathers
1:38:42allies from each of Natlan's six great
1:38:45tribes to repel the murky black tide.
1:38:47Thus, the heroes of Natlan emerge. Soon
1:38:50, Mavuika joins them, ascending as the
1:38:52new Pyro Archon. The field of their
1:38:55greatest battle would later become
1:38:56known as the Sea of Ash. Simultaneously
1:38:59, the Cataclysm reaches Snezhnaya. The
1:39:01Abyss invades the north, where the
1:39:02White Tsar perishes during this period.
1:39:04Following his death, the Tsaritsa
1:39:06ascends the throne, becoming the new
1:39:08Cryo Archon. But Oukrai is granted the
1:39:09status of an autonomous region of
1:39:11Snezhnaya. And the Lyov Druzhina, an
1:39:13alliance of northern clans, rises
1:39:14against the Tsaritsa’s rule. In
1:39:16response, she disbands the Druzhina,
1:39:18turning it into a state-controlled
1:39:20paramilitary organization. Meanwhile,
1:39:23Dainsleif, known as the Twilight Sword
1:39:25of Khaenri'ah and a royal guard of the
1:39:26Black Sun Dynasty, failed to protect
1:39:28his nation. Like all others, he was
1:39:32struck by the curse of immortality and
1:39:33doomed to wander the world forever,
1:39:35watching as the people he swore to
1:39:37protect turn into monsters. Soon, the
1:39:40Cataclysm subsides, and a new era
1:39:42begins. And in all seven regions,
1:39:45things become more or less peaceful.
1:39:47The Heavenly Principles fall into a
1:39:48slumber. The shade of space, Asmoday,
1:39:50leaves the status of Celestia and sides
1:39:53with the Abyss twin. Though peace has
1:39:55returned to Teyvat, the Heavenly
1:39:58Principles continue to exist, leaving
1:40:00their laws absolute. But just as 6,000
1:40:03years ago, there are those who disagree
1:40:05with its rule and are already starting
1:40:07to prepare a plan for another overthrow
1:40:09. History repeats itself, and not for
1:40:12the first time. But will humans be able
1:40:15to change the outcome of this battle
1:40:17and finally attain freedom?
