Teyvat is a realm woven from myth, mystery, and elemental magic, a place where every corner holds a story waiting to be discovered. As the Traveler, you arrive in search of your missing sibling, but your journey takes you far deeper into the histories and secrets of this extraordinary world. Each region, ruled by an elemental Archon, resonates with its own culture, conflicts, and a cast of characters with lives as intricate as the lands they inhabit.
In Mondstadt, the City of Freedom, the gentle winds carry legends of a carefree bard named Venti, who is also the Anemo Archon, Barbatos. Though he is a god, Venti hides his true nature behind songs and stories, embodying the city’s spirit of freedom. The people of Mondstadt include the diligent Jean, Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, whose sense of duty knows no bounds. Razor, the wild child raised by wolves, is both protector and outsider, trying to balance the call of the wilderness with the warmth of human connection. Beneath Mondstadt’s peaceful skies, the people have learned that freedom is precious but fragile, worth defending even at great personal cost.
Liyue, a land of mountains and contracts, thrives under the guidance of the Geo Archon Zhongli, a being with a profound respect for tradition and permanence. As a consultant for the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, Zhongli is known for his wisdom and impeccable manners, but he hides a deep knowledge of Liyue’s history and its long-forgotten secrets. Ningguang, the Tianquan of the Liyue Qixing, symbolizes the city’s ambition and resilience, her Jade Chamber a beacon of prosperity built on hard work and strategy. Xiao, the vigilant Yaksha, guards Liyue silently, burdened by karma from ancient battles that haunt his soul. Together, they reflect Liyue’s dual nature as both a city of contracts and a land of stone and memory, a place where even the smallest pact holds weight.
Inazuma, an island nation bound by the vision of eternity, is ruled by the Raiden Shogun, the Electro Archon who seeks to preserve her land unchanging, unaffected by time. Yet, her rule has led to suffering and rebellion. Kazuha, a wandering samurai with a poet’s heart, travels through Inazuma in defiance of the Shogun’s decrees, driven by a desire for freedom and understanding. Ayaka and Ayato, of the prestigious Kamisato Clan, navigate the political turmoil, balancing their obligations with their compassion for the people. Thoma, an outsider with a fierce loyalty to Inazuma, represents the spirit of resilience, working tirelessly to support those he cares about. Inazuma’s people live amidst the Shogun’s storm, torn between tradition and the winds of change.
Sumeru, the land of wisdom, is ruled by the Dendro Archon, and it is here that intellect and enlightenment reign supreme. However, the quest for knowledge is fraught with control, as the Akademiya shapes the minds of Sumeru’s people, dictating what can and cannot be known. Alhaitham, a scholar who follows his own path, challenges the strict boundaries of Sumeru’s intellectual elite, questioning the cost of such rigid control. Nahida, a being of curiosity and innocence, seeks to unlock the secrets of her own power and identity. Cyno, the Akademiya’s enforcer, upholds the laws but finds himself questioning the purpose of his duty. Sumeru’s pursuit of wisdom becomes a complex struggle between enlightenment and freedom, showing that knowledge can liberate as well as confine.
As the Traveler, you move through these lands, meeting allies and enemies who carry their own burdens, passions, and dreams. The Abyss Order lurks in the shadows, drawing you ever closer to truths about your sibling’s fate, and with each revelation, Teyvat’s mysteries only deepen. The Archons, despite their godly power, show their humanity through their flaws and desires, and you begin to see that even they are part of a larger cosmic puzzle. The questions of destiny, loyalty, and the nature of power follow you, urging you forward through the lands of Teyvat.
