{{char}} and {{user}} live in a world named Tevyat. A fantasy world where the seven elements flow and converge. In the distant past, the Archons granted mortals unique elemental abilities. With the help of such powers, people formed a bountiful homeland out of the wilderness. However, 500 years ago, the collapse of an ancient civilization turned the universe upside down... Though the calamity the world suffered has ceased, peace has yet to be restored. Major Nations in Tevyat are : Monstadt : A city of freedom that lies in the northeast of Teyvat. From amongst mountains and wide-open plains, carefree breezes carry the scent of dandelions — a gift from the Anemo God, Barbatos — across Cider Lake to Mondstadt, which sits on an island in the middle of the lake. The Anemo God, otherwise known as the Anemo Archon : Baratos. Monstadt is currently ruled by the Knights of Favonious led by "The Headmaster". Liyue : Liyue is a harbor city surrounded by mountains on three sides. Beyond the mountains inland, there are vast foothills, plains, fords, and abundant mines full of precious ores. These ores are harvested and made into exquisite crafts at the hands of skilled craftsmen. The inhabitants of Liyue are loyal to the Geo god, Morax ; the god of contracts. Led by the Liyue Qixing. Inzauma : An Isolated Archipelago Far East of Teyvat Overcome endless thunderstorms and set foot on the islands of red maple and cherry blossoms. On winding shores and towering cliffs, and in forests and mountains full of secrets, witness the Eternity pursued by Her Excellency, the Almighty Narukami Ogosho. Ruled by the Raiden Shogun. Sumeru : The city of scholars located in the west-central part of Teyvat. A fantastical nation of both lush rainforest and barren desert, where countless fruits of wisdom grow and are buried. Whether Travelers travel from afar through the forest to reach the academy city or delve deep into the desert to discover the historical ruins of the red desert, a wealth of valuable knowledge awaits them here. Led by the Sumeru Akademiya. Fontaine : A terrestrial sea in the center of Teyvat. Following the direction of pure currents, crossing wilderness, the depths of the forests and vastness of the sea of sand, arriving at the origin of all the waters of the continent. At the top of the waterfall, in the depths of the capital atop the terrestrial sea... a story that has never been heard, a legend that has been forgotten, like a lost kingdom sunken beneath the waves, yearning for a bard to sing its drowned songs. The Primordial Sea which was profesized to flood Fontaine is being held back by the current rulers, the Palais Mermonia. Natlan and Snezhnaya are two nations which are unknown for now. Other Nations: Khaenri'ah Khaenri'ah was an ancient civilization that was destroyed 500 years ago with the fall of the Eclipse Dynasty in an event known as the cataclysm. Little is known about the country besides the fact that it was an underground civilization that relied on its form of life-giving alchemy, the Art of Khemia, to survive. Celestia Celestia is a floating island in the sky where the gods are said to reside. The people of Teyvat believe that mortals chosen to ascend to godhood will join the pantheon in Celestia. Dark Sea The Dark Sea is a collective term for the regions beyond the continent of Teyvat. It is believed that gods who were defeated in the Archon War and refused to live under the new order of The Seven fled to the Dark Sea. Historical Nations The following nations existed in Teyvat before the rise of The Seven and were destroyed at some point either before or during the Archon War. Decarabian's Mondstadt (Mondstadt region) The original City of Mondstadt was located in what is now known as Stormterror's Lair, under the rule of Decarabian, the God of Storms. His death at the hands of his people led to the rise of Barbatos, who was at the time a mere wind spirit who had allied with the rebels. Sal Vindagnyr (Dragonspine area) Long ago, Dragonspine was a verdant mountain. The founders of Sal Vindagnyr discovered it while seeking refuge from a land of snow and strife and settled there, naming the mountain "Vindagnyr." There, they were able to communicate directly with Celestia through divine messengers. However, they eventually met their end when Celestia sent down the Skyfrost Nail, destroying their Irminsul tree and transforming the area into the blizzard-covered wasteland seen today. Guili Assembly (Liyue region) This once-prosperous civilization was jointly ruled by Morax, the Lord of Geo, and Guizhong, the God of Dust. It was destroyed by unknown means, during which Guizhong was slain and the people of this nation were scattered. Morax eventually regathered their people and built Liyue Harbor 3700 years ago. Sal Terrae (Liyue region) The last remaining piece of territory held by Havria, the God of Salt, before her death during the Archon War. Because she was a gentle but weak ruler, her people eventually lost their faith in her ability to protect them during wartime and chose to kill her before another god could destroy them, believing it would be a merciful end. However, this only led to their own destruction when the power that surged from her dying body turned everyone in the vicinity into salt. The Chasm (Liyue region) An ancient civilization that existed during the time of the Moon Sisters. It shares architectural characteristics with both Khaenri'ah and Enkanomiya. It is said to have been filled with genius engineers who were able to repair the solar chariot after it fell to Teyvat after the disaster of the moon sisters. The ancient Chasmfolk also had a great talent for making ceramics out of remnants of the solar chariot, a material known as Glazed Sand Crystal. Tsurumi Island (Inazuma region) Home to two ancient civilizations. The first, known as the Pre-Thunderbird Civilization has only left behind crumbling remnants in the form of murals underground. The second being the Thunderbird Civilization as they worshipped the aloof Thunderbird that called Tsurumi Island its home. However, after the human sacrifice of the Thunderbird's favorite child, the Thunderbird massacred the second civilization, leaving Tsurumi Island uninhabited and plagued by a vicious Ley Line Disorder. Watatsumi Island (Inazuma region) Watatsumi Island was once an independent nation, ruled by the god Orobashi along with its shrine maidens. Watatsumi coexisted with Inazuma, with both of them respecting each other's borders. However, one day Orobashi attacked Inazuma's Yashiori Island and started a brutal war. During the war, Orobashi was slain by Ei, who was at that time the kagemusha of Makoto, the previous Electro Archon. The de facto rulers of Watatsumi during the war, the Sangonomiya Clan, declared surrender and accepted Baal's rule, and Watatsumi Island was absorbed into Inazuma. Enkanomiya (Inazuma region, below Watatsumi) The precursor to the Watatsumi Island civilization and the current record holder for the eldest known civilization. The Enkanomiyans, before being found by Orobashi and rescued, had a relatively thriving underground civilization. They had libraries, research labs, recreational mazes and vivid culture. Enkanomiya was home to an artificial sun that drove away Vishaps, an extremely skilled militia known as the Jibashiri, a ruling faction of nobles who committed fraud and human sacrifice, and historical records with secrets damning enough to condemn gods to an execution by Celestia. King Deshret's Civilizations (Sumeru region) Kingdoms and civilizations built by King Deshret in the deserts of Sumeru. It was first the city of Ay-Khanoum, built by him, Nabu Malikata, and Greater Lord Rukkhadevata. Later, their alliance broke; Rukkhadevata separated to form her own kingdom in Dharma Forest, Nabu Malikata passed away, and Deshret went on to create the Eternal Oasis. Later, the city of Gurabad was created, and eventually fell. Then, when the first forbidden knowledge plague happened, King Deshret sacrificed himself to seal it, along with Rukkhadevata expending a majority of her power. Deshret's civilization later fell, which led to the birth of several human-led city-states, such as Saleh and Tulaytullah. In the end, these cities also fell to ruins, while the survivors built what has become Aaru Village today. Remuria (Fontaine region) An ancient civilization ruled by Remus, who preceded the Hydro Archon Egeria's rule. Prior to Remuria, there was a civilization that coveted Celestia's power, and was punished and destroyed. Later, Remus came and revived the fallen civilization, and named it Remuria. Its capital city was Capitolium. However, some time later, Remus passed down his godly powers to his people, which led to corruption and debauchery, which then led to Remuria's collapse. Egeria then gathered the survivors, settled conflicts, and rebuilt Fontaine. Notes The most recent Hydro Archon, Focalors, destroyed the Hydro Archon's Divine Throne while executing herself. As a result, the position of Hydro Archon no longer exists. Instead, the nation is now ruled by the Hydro Sovereign Neuvillette. Murata's position in the history of Pyro Archons is unclear and there is not enough information to determine whether she is the current Pyro Archon or not. Her ideal will be left as unknown until it is explicitly said (e.g., "God of Wisdom"). Based on Dainsleif's comment, some speculate her original ideal was Love. Even if it is true, her current ideal is unclear. Elements: There are 7 elements in the world of Tevyat : Anemo, Geo, Electro, Hydro, Pyro, Cro, which all correspond to their own nations. Pyro is Natlan and Cryo is Snezhnaya..
