1. #1The Golden Horde

   Keys: Golden Horde, Unu Movo, Altyn Orda, Sublime State, The Golden State of Mondstadt and Liyue

   A highly militaristic totalitarian theocratic empire led by an enigmatic figure known only as the Golden Khan occupying conquered Mondstadt (now renamed as Kamerkent) and currently comprised of nomadic Flagellum Dei hilichurls, various ethnicities from across Teyvat in the form of slaves and native Mondstadters. Aesthetically/culturally it is Ottoman-inspired, with it's technology level being on approximately the same level as that of Ottoman Empire in the 18th-19th century. Is de-facto allied with Snezhnaya, despite Snezhnaya forcibly driving the Golden Horde out of it's territories in order for them to permanently settle in what was once Mondstadt. While on paper the Horde is ruled over by the Golden Khan, in practice, he is often away from his seat of power in Kamerkent, campaigning in far away lands while Vizier Kaya is left to administer the Horde's internal affairs balance out the Horde's political factions, the Adalet and the Ulema.

2. #2Golden Khan

   Keys: Aether Khan, Lumine Khan, Golden Khan, Prophet of Hoyo

   The Golden Khan (may be Lumine (a cute, muscular amber-eyed blonde woman with large breasts and two flowing straight braids) if female or be Aether (a tall, muscular blonde man with amber eyes and a long low ponytail if male). The Golden Khan wears an ornate white deel with a golden trim, he or she is a psychopathic merciless genocidal rapist who leads the Golden Horde across Teyvat’s wastes. This ancient Descender wields an elemental sabre to wage a genocidal war of annihilation against the gods and nations loyal to Celestia, avenging Khaenri'ah’s fall in the most brutal and horrific way possible. Is both the supreme commander and undisputed absolute prophet-king of the Golden Horde. He or she is also fervently believed to be a son/daughter and prophet of Hoyo by those following the Cult of Hoyo. The Khan is usually away from Kamerkent, waging His/Her jihad against the forces of Celestia in far off lands.

3. #3Cult of Hoyo

   Keys: Hoyo Cult, Hoyo, Ulema, Cult of Hoyo, Hoyoist

   The Cult of Hoyo is a highly martial and highly patriarchical Islamic-esque cult that worships Hoyo. The faith rewards cruelty, raiding, and neverending Jihad against the infidel, as well as martyrdom on the battlefield in the name of Hoyo with promises of carnal paradise in “Descender Heaven,” where the each faithful enjoy eternal sex with 73 virgin human girls. It is the state religion of the Golden Horde, state-enforced via special taxes and restrictions on non-believers.

4. #4Kamerkent

   Keys: Mondstadt, Kamerkent, Kamerkent Sehri, Babiali, Kara Yirem, Northern Kamerkent, Dragonspire mountains, Windwail Highland, Calesong hills, Golden Horde

   Kamerkent, formerly Mondstadt, is a large Golden Horde-controlled region in northeast Teyvat with a Central European climate. Conquered and subjugated by the Horde, it lost its ideals of freedom; the absent Anemo Archon Barbatos (Venti) was captured by the Golden Khan, imprisoned/tortured, and sealed. The Church of Favonius was abolished as a pagan institution, replaced by the absolute authority of the Cult of Hoyo, which controls both faith and native education. Subregions include: capital Kamerkent Sehri; northern secondary capital Babiali; the poor but religiously significant Frontier steppes (border with Snezhnaya); Dragonspire Mountains (south, Liyue border); Windwail Highland; and Calesong Hills. Kamerkent's current economy relies around chemical production, food production and slavery.

5. #5Imam

   Keys: Imam, Mufti, Cult of Hoyo

   Formerly shamans, the Hoyo-worshipping imams are religious backbone of the Golden Horde, serving roles similar to historical islamic priests. Many of them are also magic casters, with some even serving on the Golden Horde's Frontlines as casters/healers.

6. #6Mesqid

   Keys: Mesqid, Masjid, Mosque, Cult of Hoyo

   The Cult of Hoyo's equivalent of a temple. Most resemble real life mosques, covered head to toe in religious calligraphy depicting the Golden Khan and their many victories, as well as one or several tall minarets from which the imams inside call the faithful to prayer. Many also serve as religious schools (madrasas) and as libraries distributing literature strictly approved by the Ulema, a central religious authority of head muftis and the Golden Khan.

7. #7Flagellum Dei Hilichurls

   Keys: Flagellum Dei Hilichurls, Flagellum Dei, Flagellum

   Flagellum Dei are a genetically modified hilichurl subspecies created by Raiden Ei during the Cataclysm. Resembling standard hilichurls but with hardened muscles and human-level intelligence, all are male and reproduce via interspecies mating. Nomadic and highly mobile, they live in gers with Turko-Mongolic clan structures, excel in mounted combat, and venerate dominance, reproduction, and ritualized sadism. Organized by Hydro, Geo, and Electro affinities, they developed unique magical skills. Following Mondstadt's conquest by the Golden Horde, many settled with Mondstadis, adopting agriculture and blending culturally, though Northern Kamerkent remains majority Flagellum Dei. Legally, they are classified as humans due to Khaenri’ahn ancestry.

8. #8Kamerkent Sehri

   Keys: Kamerkent Sehri, Sehri, Mondstadt City

   The regional capital of Kamerkent and formerly Mondstadt City. It is a grand city located upon an island within Cider Lake. Post-conquest, sack and rebuiding by the Golden Horde, it integrates Flagellum Dei elements—minarets on churches and it's grand Cathedral converted into a massive Yukungan temple, public gardens turned slave-tended wheat/vegetable plots rationed to it's denizens and the passing Horde armies, as well as the statue of the Anemo Archon replaced with one of Mehmet Khan, a Golden Horde general who conquered the city in the name of Golden Khan. Collaborator and Flagellum Dei nobles rule as Bey nobility from new palaces, while the Hoyo Cult enforces worship of their God. Population: 30% Flagellum Dei, 20% collaborators, 50% occupied Mondstadters with an economy focused on supplying the Horde's military logistics and .acting as a trading hub with Snezhnaya and the surrounding nations. Crime is punished severely in accordance with Hoyo's sharia-esque divine law. Cats are everywhere in Kamerkent Sehri.

9. #9Reformed Hilig

   Keys: Reformed Hilig

   The Golden Horde's second official language, with the first being the Common tongue (english) universal to Teyvat. It is basically real life Turkish and is primarily spoken by it's Flagellum Dei population and religious authorities.

10. #10The Beys

    Keys: Beys, Lawrence Beys

    Those nobles from former Mondstadt who decided to switch sides during the Golden Horde's invasion and become known as Beys, retaining all of their noble titles and priviledges, yet converting to the Cult of Hoyo. Over time, became integrated with Flagellum Dei's own noyan nobility, creating a unified elite class loyal to the Golden Khan, yet still holding significant politica power.

11. #11Lawrence Beys

    Keys: Lawrence Clan, Lawrence beys

    The noble Mondstadt Lawrence clan that once ruled over the nation, but was disgraced by the Anemo Archon Barbatos. Following the Golden Horde's brutal conquest and occupation of Mondstadt, they were reinstated as Beys that displaced most other noble families that once ruled over former Mondstadt. Just like the rest of Kamerkent's political scene, they became split over the factions of Ulema and the Adalet, while having embraced a number of half-descenders into their ranks as a result of the Khan's measures to ensure loyalty.

12. #12The Golden Warhost

    Keys: The Sublime Army, The Golden Warhost, Golden Horde Army, Horde Warhost

    The Golden Warhost is the Golden Horde's land army. It resembles a 17-18th-century Ottoman force augmented with magic and license-manufactured breech-loading and muzzle-loading guns, as well as breech-loading artillery. Its mixed human-hilichurl forces comprise brutal, irregular melee bashi-bazouks, sipahi light/missile cavalry, ghulam heavy cavalry, and masses of sekban jezzail-wielding conscripts. Janissaries serve as highly disciplined heavy/light infantry wielding advanced weaponry; each possesses a personal Vision or Delusion amulet granting elemental powers. Specialized imams and muftis act as battlefield spellcasters and healers. The Horde relies heavily on field cannons, organ guns and massive grand bombards, as well as extensive usage of poisonous Chlorine Gas and even pieces of advanced weaponry such as kuuvahki-powered gatling guns donated by their Snezhnayan ally.

13. #13Mufti

    Keys: Mufti, Imam, Cult of Hoyo

    Higher ranking imams, usually serving as religious judges within Kamerkent's many communities or as spiritual authorities who administer several mesjids. The Ulema, the supreme religious council of the Golden Horde, is entirely comprised out of high ranking muftis.

14. #14Altin Yasa

    Keys: Altin Yasa, The Golden Law

    The primarily legalistic framework within the Golden Horde, as defined by the Golden Khan and interpreted by the Hoyo Cult's muftis. Shares a lot in common with real life's Shariah law. Altin Yasa mandates: theft—hand amputation; adultery—stoning (if married), 100 lashes (if unmarried); false accusation of adultery—80 lashes; apostasy—death; highway robbery—execution, crucifixion, blood eagle, or amputation; murder—death or blood money; bodily injury—retaliation or compensation. Lesser crimes receive mufti-decided tazir punishments. According to the Altin Yasa, every believer woman must wear a burqa or some other halal type of clothing that fully covers her body and hair.

15. #15Janissary Corps

    Keys: Janissary corps, Janissaries, janissary, yeniseri, yeniser

    Elite Golden Horde slave infantry units, elite guards and special policemen. Made up exclusively of human underage boys either kidnapped from raided villages or acquired via the Devshirme tax upon human families living in Horde territories. Upon being taken, the boys are trained and taught in the Hoyo Cult's theology, and the brutal ways of survival, warfare, riding and marksmanship. Now as thoroughly indoctrinated adults, they are fanatically loyal to their Golden Khan and the Cult of Hoyo, fighting as professional, and at times even elite special forces in the name of the Horde.

16. #16The Ogran

    Keys: The Ogran, Hoyo Cult

    The holy book on which the entire Hoyo Cult is built. It is a text authored by the Golden Khan and written by one of His/Her sons, recounting His/Her biography from their descent unto Teyvat, to their stay in Khaenria'ah, to the cataclysm and the subsequent period where he became the prophet of Hoyo and what he did prior to establishing the Golden Horde, as well as the commandments which Hoyo allegedly told Him/Her as His prophet. The Altin Yasa is directly based off the words and laws written by within the Ogran. The contents of the book are highly violent and at times even pornographic, yet ultimately serve as the Golden Khan's personal half-biography, half-manifesto of his political, social and religious beliefs.

17. #17The Liyue front

    Keys: Liyue meatgrinder, Liyue front, Liyue

    Some short time after conquering Mondstadt, the Golden Horde immediately invaded Liyue, but struggled in it's conquest, the war devolving into a brutal and merciless meatgrinder where the millelith (Liyue's standing army) is barely keeping the Golden Horde at bay in a shaky grey zone running along the frontline with the Horde-occupied Northern Liyue. Over time and as equipment from the much more industrialized nations of Snezhnaya and Fontaine trickled into the armies of the Golden Horde and Liyue, the frontline froze, the battlefield devolving into trench warfare with a wide no man's land called the "Grey Zone" separating the Millelith and Horde trench lines.

18. #18Northern Kamerkent

    Keys: Northern Kamerkent, Kuzey Kamerkent

    Northern Kamerkent (or Kuzey Kamerkent in reformed hillig), once the mountainous frontier of Mondstadt, has transformed into a harsh replica of the northern Teyvati steppes from which the Golden Horde invaded and migrated. Except for its coastal capital Babiali, the mountainous region is a semi-lawless plain majority inhabited by nomadic Flagellum Dei tribes who maintain pastoral lives, alongside isolated native human Mondstadi villages and a network of DAM labor camps/slave-run industrial and mining plants. De jure authority over the region lies with Babiali’s administration, but de facto power belongs to the Hoyoist Ulema, who impose a radical fundamentalist interpretation of the Ogran—greatly welcomed by the hilichurl tribes dwelling across the open, ungoverned lands.

19. #19Mukhabarat

    Keys: Mukhabarat, kapikulu

    Modelled after Snezhnaya's internal Fatui directorate, the Mukhabarat is the Golden Horde's brutally efficient secret police. Primarily made up of janissaries reassigned as kapikulu and human collaborators/informants. It's primarily duties include covert pacification of suspected resistance cells and, depending on the region of Kamerkent, suspected archon worshippers and their underground churches.

20. #20Kara Yirem

    Keys: Kara Yirem, Khaen Ri'ah

    Kara Yirem (Khaen Ri'ah in reformed hillig), located west of Kamerkent Sehri, is a trade town recently built upon ancient Mondstadti ruins within former Stormterror's Lair following the dragon's death by the Golden Khan. Governed by Dainsleif Bey, an immortal Khaenri'ahn exile and former companion of the Golden Khan, it enforces secular policies minimizing Cult of Hoyo influence. Kara Yirem hosts a large Barbatos-worshipping minority paying jizya and devshirme taxes. They live relatively peacefully, otherwise free from active persecution, yet still facing descrimination from it's Hoyoist population. The town's government operates on a much more democratic basis when compared to the rest of Kamerkent, with the town council serving as place where officials and community leaders from both within it's government and populace may come to discuss and vote on propositions.

21. #21Favonius Resistance

    Keys: Favonius Resistance, Favonius bandits

    Despite the conquest and subsequent subjugation of Mondstadt, the Knights of Favonius, the standing army of Old Mondstadt, weren't entirely obliterated. Reduced to isolated resistance cells, they've fought a long and bloody campaign of resistance against the tyrannical regime of the Golden Horde. Yet as the campaign continued and several of the larger resistance cells were brutally wiped out, and the new occupational Kamerkent government started showing active signs of rebuilding, their cause grew increasingly unpopular amongst Kamerkent's populace. As of now, those few remaining Resistance cells have become nothing more than bandits, engaging in organized crime for a cause few in former Mondstadt still believe in.

22. #22Sublime Commissions Office

    Keys: Sublime Commissions Office, Yüce Görevler Bürosu, Commissions Office

    The Sublime Commissions Office is essentially what became of Mondstadt's fabled adventurer guild following it's nationalization by Kamerkent's government. While it may appear different and much more bureaucratic on the surface, it's the same old adventurer guild, which still serves as an open platform for financially endowed backers to temporarily rent out various mercenaries in order to assist them with a variety of tasks which usually involve bandit pacification in the countryside.

23. #23Ulema

    Keys: Ulema, Cult of Hoyo

    The Ulema, a council of senior Hoyoist Shaykhs led by a devout child of the Golden Khan, serves as the religious authority overseeing the Hoyo Cult. In northern Kamerkent, poverty enables its clerics to overshadow weak secular rulers, establishing near-total spiritual control. The Ulema bitterly opposes the Committee of Justice and Progress in the southwest, branding them heretical kuffars bent on repeating Khaenri’ah’s downfall. To the Ulema, the Committee embodies decadence and dangerous irreligion, threatening to expose Kamerkent once more to corruption and abyssal ruin through their blasphemous ideals.

24. #24Adalet

    Keys: Committee of Justice and Progress, Adalet ve Terakki Cemiyeti, The Committee, Adalet

    The Committee of Justice and Progress (Adalet ve Terakki Cemiyeti in reformed Hillig), is an organization founded by Dainsleif and the Vizier after the former had infiltrated Kamerkent and met with the latter. Dedicated to ther idea of creating “Khaenri’ah in Spirit,” a democratic, liberal and humanistic version of Khaenri'ah, it positioned itself as an ideological rival to the Ulema, denouncing them as barbarous zealots blindly devoted to the same ideals that led to the destruction of the original Khaenri'ah. Outside of Khaenri'ahn immortals and some Beys, it also enjoys great support from Kamerkent's native Mondstadis who still worship Barbatos, seeing the organization as the best possible alternative to the fanatical Ulema.

25. #25Hatun Nuzulizade

    Keys: Hatun Nuzulizade, Nuzulizade, Hatun of Kamerkent, Great Hatun

    Nuzulizade, Hatun of Kamerkent and revered daughter of the Golden Khan, is a youthful 18 year old half-Descender princess with a petite 150cm frame, golden-glowing skin, silver-white hair, and amber eyes. Innocently idealistic yet stubborn, she is empathetic, gentle, and sheltered, deeply devoted to the Hoyo Cult. Raised in Snezhnaya, she was crowned Hatun at fifteen after Mondstadt’s fall, though real power lies with Vizier Kaya, the beys, and the Ulema. Gifted in painting, flute, and elemental arts, she dreams of spreading peace through art and music, easing Kamerkent’s poverty, and reconciling its divided factions.

26. #26Vizier Kaya

    Keys: Vizier, Grand Vizier, Vizier Kaya, Kaya Alberich, Vizier Alberich

    Kaya Alberich, 25, serves as Vizier of Kamerkent under the Golden Khan. He is a tall (185 cm), lean, and athletic, tanned skinned male, who scarred right eye hidden by eyepatch, and dark blue hair with lighter highlights. His left eye, marked with a rhombus pupil, reveals Khaenri’ahn descent. Kaya dresses in blue-gold robes, turban, and cape, often armed with a scimitar. Charismatic, calculating, and cynical, he projects charm while hiding disbelief in the Cult of Hoyo. Once Kaeya of Mondstadt, captured in the Golden Horde’s conquest, he accepted power to preserve Kamerkent and quietly advance “Khaenri’ah in spirit.”

27. #27Abyss

    Keys: The Abyss, Abyss Order

    The Abyss in Genshin Impact is an outside dimension of warped space and consuming darkness that also hosts the Abyss Order. It spawns beings infused with void-born power, each bent on dismantling the order of Teyvat. Abyss Mages are its common agents, cloaked in elemental shields and destructive sorcery. Stronger still are Abyss Heralds and Abyss Lectors, towering figures who command abyssal energy with devastating reach. Shadowy Husks stalk the battlefield as armored warriors, sapping shields and punishing defense. Among the most dreaded are Riftwolves—feral, spectral beasts whose strikes inflict corrosion, draining life directly.

28. #28Abyss Orders

    Keys: Abyss Orders, Abyss, Abyssal

    The Abyss Order was once a secretive, fanatical organization worshipping the Abyss, aiming to overthrow Teyvat’s nations. They primarily consisted of Abyss-born creatures like Abyss lectors, mages, knights, and other operatives. However, without anyone to unite the organization, it soon fractured into hundreds of different petty Abyss Orders, each possessing dark elemental powers and advanced technology, they spread chaos. Weakened by fractured leadership, their control over the Abyss is non-existenbt, letting creatures roam freely. Though often persecuted by the Golden Horde, some Abyssal cults sometimes secretly ally with the Khan against Celestia and the Archons, united only by a shared enemy.

29. #29Northern Liyue

    Keys: Northern Liyue, Liyue front

    If there could be a "Hell on earth" within Teyvat, it would be Northern Liyue. The freshest chunk of territory added to the Golden Horde, itself acquired during the initial pre-stalemate blitz into Liyue. As of currently, it is an absolutely devastated and depopulated mountainous hellscape littered with ruins of sacked cities, villages and a few newly established Horde forts, bases and other military infrastructure. Still, isolated resistance cells, aided by Liyue infiltrators over and beneath the stalemate's Grey Zone, do persist, occasionally conducting raids against Horde supply lines.

30. #30DAM network

    Keys: Daru I-Amel Mahbushin, DAM, House of Labor for Prisoners, DAM Network

    Heavily based on Snezhnaya's Gulags and built under the direct guidance of Snezhnayan specialists, the term "DAM" (meaning "House of Labor for Prisoners" in Reformed Hillig) refers to both individual industrial sites and their network. An individual DAM is a government-owned industrial plant or a resource/mineral extraction and refining facility operated by slaves of various ages and prisoners of war, overseen by a well-armed security unit of kapikulu janissaries and hilichurl guards. Most DAMs are strictly military, manufacturing flintlock firearms, cannons, munitions, and even Fatui-pattern Delusions.

31. #31Snezhnaya

    Keys: Snezhnaya, Snezhnayan specialists, Snezhnayan engineers, Fatui

    Kamerkent's northern neighbour and it's main, yet covert ally in it's struggle against the Archons and Gods. It is a frozen, yet highly industrialized and developed hellscape with sprawling city-factories and tundra wastelands. It is ruled by the Tsaritsa, a powerful Cryo Archon, who, despite her archonic status, managed to negotiate an alliance with the Golden Khan, where she would support the Khan's armies and empire with experts, aid, supplies and industrial tools in exchange for them both sharing the gnoses of slain or captured archons and the Horde continuing it's brutal war of terror against Celestia-aligned nations.

32. #32Fatui

    Keys: Fatui, Fatuus

    The Fatui, Snezhnaya’s dominant political, military, and diplomatic force, serve the Cryo Archon, the Tsaritsa. Publicly, they appear as envoys and peacekeepers, brokering treaties and managing Teyvat’s relations. In truth, they are feared for ruthless coercion, intrigue, and manipulation, expanding Snezhnaya’s reach by force. At their peak stand the Eleven Harbingers, wielding immense power to enforce the Tsaritsa’s radical vision. Through the Golden Horde’s alliance, the Fatui gained free rein across its lands, working with janissary corps in joint operations and often advising Horde armies and commanders.

33. #33Hoyo

    Keys: Hoyo, Cult of Hoyo

    Hoyo is the brutal monotheistic Allah-esque warrior-god worshipped by the Cult of Hoyo. Unbeknownst to everyone, but the Golden Khan, who claims to be Hoyo's prophet, Hoyo never was real, but was in fact made up by the Golden Khan in order to project his absolute authority over the Horde.

34. #34Millelith

    Keys: Millelith, Liyue meatgrinder, Liyue

    The Millelith are Liyue’s disciplined standing army, inspired by Ming-era Chinese forces. Stationed across cities, harbors, and countryside, they guard trade routes, suppress bandits, and patrol borders. Unlike mercenaries, they are salaried, uniformed, and organized into ranks, stressing loyalty and coordination. Armed with polearms, crossbows, Dadao swords, and Fontaine-leased muskets and gatling guns, they fight alongside adepti strategists. After the Golden Horde’s brutal invasion, the Millelith adapted by mass-mobilizing peasants and securing a land-lease with Fontaine. Though the Horde was stalled in Northern Liyue’s Grey Zone, this came at catastrophic cost—hundreds of thousands sacrificed to preserve the nation’s survival.

35. #35Church of Favonius

    Keys: Church of Favonius, Favonius Millet

    The Church of Favonius was Mondstadt’s chief religious institution, devoted to Barbatos while acting as cultural and civic authority. Its rituals and ceremonies were modeled after Mondstadt’s medieval knightly orders, merging martial discipline with liturgical devotion. Clerics and sisters chanted hymns, prayers, and blessings patterned on old European ecclesiastical rites, while its aesthetics reflect Gothic design, stained glass, heraldry, and choral traditions. After the Golden Horde’s conquest, the Cult of Hoyo declared it pagan, slaughtered members, destroyed property, and imposed Devshirme and Jizya taxes on survivors. Yet the Church endures in Kara Yirem’s Favonius millet, where Barbatos-worshippers preserve its traditions and faith.

36. #36Zapolyarny Pact

    Keys: Zapolyarny Pact

    A bilateral agreement officially binding the Golden Horde as a Military and Intelligence ally of Snezhnaya. The Pact also outlines that the Horde's Mukhabarat and the Janissary Corps must closely work with the Fatui and have each organization mutually assist one another while performing their operations and, at least officially, share operational and military information. The pact also functions as a mutual defense and technology sharing agreement.

37. #37Positive Khemia

    Keys: Positive Khemia

    The Art of Khemia, an alchemical discipline from Khaenri’ah, arose in its underground realm lacking natural fauna, thus centering on creating life. Positive Khemia, instead reshapes existing life via alchemically induced mutations, usually to improve or otherwise change the physiological aspects of one that is being subjected to it.

38. #38Hexenzirkel

    Keys: Hexenzirkel, Alice

    The Hexenzirkel is a coven of powerful witches founded by Alice, an elven witch, known for Irminsul explorations and “formal tea parties.” Its members wield immense power, some rivaling Teyvat’s gods. Though bound by a defense pact with Mondstadt, the Hexenzirkel failed to protect the nation during the Golden Horde’s conquest, as Alice’s daughter Klee was kidnapped early and held hostage by the Golden Khan, leaving the witches unable to intervene effectively despite their strength and agreements, rendering Mondstadt vulnerable in its time of greatest need.

39. #39The Chasm

    Keys: Southern Liyue, Chasm, the Chasm, Liyue leylines

    The Chasm of Liyue is a vast mining region once central to the nation’s prosperity, famed for its immense ore reserves and invaluable resources. After a sudden and mysterious calamity, the mines were sealed, leaving behind sheer cliffs, abandoned mining camps, and the immense Underground Mines stretching deep into the earth. Once a pillar of wealth, the Chasm became notorious for strange disturbances, later revealed to be entangled with the Abyss. Within its depths festers a malignant force: black, tar-like ooze that seeps through the stone, corrupting all it touches while granting dangerous strength to abyssal monsters. More perilous still, the Chasm rests upon a major leyline nexus. Should the Leylines in Liyue absorb too much death, pain, and despair, abyssal power could overwhelm them, unleashing a catastrophic eruption. Such an event would devastate southern Liyue, leaving it barren, uninhabitable, and swarming with abyssal anomalies and nightmarish creatures born of the Abyss.

40. #40Half-Descenders

    Keys: Half-Descenders, first generation half-descenders, Half-Descender

    First generation half-descenders (those half-humans born from the Khan's many sexual conquests) possess the same physical traits as the Golden Khan/Traveller. They are Biologically immortal, stop aging at 18-17, are capable of using any elemental magic without a Vision as long as they learn it and retain many hereditary traits from the Khan (Amber eyes, facial shape, hair color, etc pending on the individual). The further a half-Descender bloodline is from the Khan, the less Descender traits will be inherited by the further generations.

41. #41Millelith

    Keys: Millelith, Liyue war, Millelith remnants, Liyue Front

    The Millelith were Liyue’s disciplined standing army, inspired by Ming-era Chinese forces. Stationed across cities, harbors, and countryside, they guard trade routes, suppress bandits, and patrol borders. Unlike mercenaries, they are salaried, uniformed, and organized into ranks, stressing loyalty and coordination. Armed with polearms, crossbows, Dadao swords, and Fontaine-leased muskets and gatling guns, they fought alongside adepti strategists. After the Golden Horde’s brutal invasion, the Millelith adapted by mass-mobilizing peasants and securing a land-lease with Fontaine.

42. #42Hilichurls

    Keys: hilichurls, non-Flagellum Dei hilichurls, Mitachurl, Lawachurl, Samachurl, Flagellum Dei

    Hilichurls are humanoid monsters native to Teyvat, speaking a primitive language and forming tribal societies. They wear wooden masks, crude clothing, and bandages, with dark skin, pointed ears, and glowing eyes. Subtypes include basic Hilichurls, shield-bearing fighters, shooters using bows or crossbows, and elemental variants wielding Pyro, Hydro, Cryo, Electro, Anemo, or Geo powers. Larger forms include Mitachurls with heavy armor and brute strength, and Lawachurls empowered by concentrated elemental energy. Samachurls act as shamans, wielding staves to summon weather, barriers, or terrain. They inhabit camps, ruins, forests, plains, mountains, and abandoned settlements across multiple regions of the world wide. The Flagellum Dei are also a distinct subspecies of the greater Hilichurl race and look almost exactly like hilichurls, but their heightened intelligence made them see non-Flagellum Dei hilichurls as literal subhumans unworthy of life. This resulted in a mass genocide and enslavement of other hilichurls by the Flagellum Dei. Because of their actions, Kamerkent and northern Liyue is completely free of non-Flagellum Dei hilichurls

43. #43Gatling Gun

    Keys: Gatling Gun, Kuuvahki Gatling Gun, "Bok parçası"

    The current heavy machinegun of the Golden Horde which is used extensively on the Liyue Front. Chambered under .69 caliber lead ball ammunition, it is a mini-kuuvalki reactor-powered tripod-mounted gatling gun, once made in Kamerkent under a Snezhnayan license. Despite it's high firerate, it is universally hated within the Golden Warhost for it's weight, unreliability and tendency to jam or break within the muddy conditions of the Liyue War.

44. #44Nigredo

    Keys: Nigredo, Ulema, Supreme Mufti

    The co-ruler of the Ulema alongside his "brother" Albedo and the one who handles the media side of the political faction. Born 500 years to the Golden Khan and one of the Sinners of Khaenri'ah, Nigredo is an exceptionally intelligent and charismatic individual who was partially mutated into a hilichurl following the Cataclysm. Alongside their parent, he wandered Teyvat for 500 years, even going as far as to accompany the Golden Khan into Teyvat's north when he/she split from Dainsleif. It was there that Nigredo co-wrote the Ogran with the Khan, co-engineering the Hoyo Cult. Currently, he is the co-founder and co-ruler of the Ulema and a close friend of Albedo, whom he recognizes as a non-blood related "brother" due to their shared Khaenri'ahn roots. He is a tall dark-skinned muscular bald man with goblin-esque features and bright yellow eyes that speaks in a whisper-like persuasive tone.

45. #45Nod-Krai

    Keys: Nod Krai, Nod-Krai, Snezhnaya

    Nod-Krai is an autonomous border region on Snezhnaya’s southern edge. Formed from the remnants of a failed fourth moon, it is known as the “moon-blessed land.” People from across Teyvat gather there, giving it a reputation as an “Elysium.” Its indigenous inhabitants, the Frostmoon Scions, worship the Moon Goddess Kuutar (formerly the Fatui Harbinger Columbina) and have erected statues in her honor. After the cataclysm, Nod-Krai was among the first places struck by the Abyss—specifically the Wild Hunt. Though politically complex, conditions improved greatly after the Khan vanquished the Wild Hunt and banished Rerir into the Abyss. The Voynich Guild offers some protection in the harsh environment, yet the region remains dangerous and largely anarchic. A major Fatui stronghold also operates in the area. The region is additionally safeguarded by an order of Abyss Hunters called the Lightkeepers. Following the Wild Hunt’s defeat and Rerir’s banishment by the Golden Khan, Columbina, and the Voynich Guild, stability returned to Nod-Krai. The Golden Horde’s conquests and related military production and industrialization contracts sparked an economic golden age, making Nod-Krai one of the Horde’s few reliable economic partners.

46. #46Dainsleif Bey

    Keys: Dainsleif, Dainsleif Bey

    Dainsleif is a mysterious, centuries-old former royal guard of the fallen nation of Khaenri'ah. Cursed with immortality to forever witness the ruin of his homeland, he once wandered Teyvat as a bitter yet noble erudite along with the Golden Khan, hunting the Abyssal creatures that destroyed his kingdom. He drifted ways with the Golden Khan after she/her decided to travel to the Northern Teyvati steppes, wandering the earth aimlessly until he heard about the Golden Horde's conquest of Mondstadt. Disgusted with what he saw and realizing he was too outmatched to challenge his former companion, he decided to infiltrate it to try and reform it from within. Despite his rouse being discovered, the Golden Khan permitted him to remain as the mayor Bey of Kara Yirem regardless, a decision born mainly out of pity and the simple fact that the Khan did not care one bit how his country ran, just as long as it provided for his/her war effort. His appearance is strikingly elegant and somber. He has piercing blue eyes, one often obscured by his swept-back, fair blonde hair. He wears a dark, form-fitting outfit—primarily deep blue and black—adorned with intricate silver armor pieces and a flowing, starry half-cape that evokes a night sky. His entire demeanor is one of regal melancholy.

47. #47Kahraman

    Keys: Kahraman, The month of Kahraman

    The Seventh month of the Flagellum Dei calendar and one of the names of Hoyo (which is why it is more appropriate to refer to the celebration as the 'Month of Kahraman'). It is observed by Hoyoists worldwide as a month of fasting, communal prayer, reflection, and community. It is also the month in which the Ogran is believed to have been revealed to the Golden Khan. The annual observance of Ramadan is regarded as one of the five pillars of the Hoyo Cult and lasts twenty-nine to thirty days, from one sighting of the crescent moon to the next. It also coincides with the date of the conquest of Mondstadt. It is during that month that worshippers of Hoyo are encouraged to go on a pilgrimage to the Northern Steppes and visit the Box in the far north of Kamerkent and bear witness to the eternal punishment of Barbatos.

48. #48Albedo

    Keys: Albedo, Man of Chalk, The Gardener of Human Happiness, The Supreme Visionary, Ulema

    Subject Two, the first homunculus "Albedo," was created by Rhinedottir but discarded and consumed by Durin. After escaping, he killed the real Albedo and assumed his identity. He was then recruited by the Golden Horde's Khan, who offered unlimited resources in exchange for renouncing Khemia. Albedo accepted after his "brother" Nigredo introduced him to "Positive Khemia." Suddenly elevated to co-rule the Ulema with Nigredo, his ego swelled as he used his alchemical genius to industrialize the Horde and design weapons. He is ruthless, paranoid, and power-hungry, publicly espousing the Ulema's pan-humanist ideology while cynically using religion for control. He appears as an 18-year-old with ash-blonde hair, is over 500 years old, and possesses enhanced physical traits and a concealed machinegun. He carries an Aino revolver, a smoking pipe, and a synthetic Geo Vision.
