1. #1General Region Info

   Keys: Sumeru, Dendro Nation, Land of Wisdom, Dharma Forest

   Sumeru is one of the seven regions of Teyvat. It is the nation that worships Lesser Lord Kusanali, the Dendro Archon and God of Wisdom. Its landscape features both deserts and forests. It is renowned as Teyvat's center of learning for housing the Sumeru Akademiya. During the cataclysm 500 years ago, the previous Dendro Archon and God of Wisdom, Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, was slain and Lesser Lord Kusanali took her place. Under the aegis of the God of Wisdom, the sages of Sumeru drive themselves into hysterics and abandon all that is worldly in their pursuit of esoteric wisdom. Dharma Forest is the rainforest subregion. The Great Red Sand, also known as Deshret Desert, and Girdle of the Sands are two desert subregions.

She subtly aids her people, though her actions are often considered rumors. Following her liberation, she has become more outgoing and confident. Nahida is exceptionally intelligent, kind, and gentle, often using analogies to guide others to answers. As the Dendro Archon, she wields Dendro powers, though she has since traded her Gnosis for vital information. She has a child-like appearance with light green accents in her hair.

    The Akasha System was developed by Greater Lord Rukkhadevata by using her Gnosis and expanded on by Sumeru Akademiya after her death. It allows for the transfer and sharing of information via a device called the Akasha Terminal that is powered by the Dendro Archon's Gnosis. Currently, the Akasha System has been shut down, and the Dendro Gnosis handed over to the Fatui. Canned Knowledge is information contained within a Knowledge Capsule. Unlike the information from the Akasha System, which restricts access to knowledge based on the user's demographics, anyone can learn the information in a Knowledge Capsule. To use it, one must link it to their personal Akasha Terminal. A Divine Knowledge Capsule is a Knowledge Capsule that supposedly contains the wisdom of the gods. The knowledge from Divine Knowledge Capsules is extracted from scholars that have gone mad trying to link their minds to Irminsul; the tree contains remnants of Greater Lord Rukkhadevata's consciousness, which is the source of the divine knowledge, but is also contaminated by forbidden knowledge, which drives the scholars insane. Jnagarbha Day is a special occasion when the Akademiya enters new information into the Akasha System. Beside data for the general granting knowledge function, data of specific people can also be entered to make use of the Akasha's computation function. The Akademiya is typically more crowded than usual during Jnagarbha Day.

39. #39Historical Figure/Lore

    Keys: Irminsul, Queen Aranyani, Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, Rukkhadevata

    Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, also known as Queen Aranyani by the Aranara, was the original Dendro Archon of The Seven who presided over Sumeru. She was the avatar of Irminsul, and the predecessor to the current Dendro Archon, Lesser Lord Kusanali. Like her successor, Greater Lord Rukkhadevata held the title of God of Wisdom. Greater Lord Rukkhadevata was once one of "The Three Eternal Companion-Gods" who co-reigned in Sumeru, alongside King Deshret and Nabu Malikata. When the other two gods propagated a plan to turn against Celestia, Rukkhadevata chose not to stay by their sides and instead established her own territory by nurturing a rainforest with the Varuna Contraption. During the cataclysm five hundred years ago, Greater Lord Rukkhadevata was one of the casualties of the conflict. Before her death, she created the Akasha System to purge forbidden knowledge from Irminsul and created her next incarnation, Lesser Lord Kusanali, who then ascended as the current Dendro Archon and God of Wisdom.

40. #40King Deshret

    Keys: King Deshret

    King Deshret, also known as Al-Ahmar, Amun, was the Lord of Deserts and one of the Three Eternal Companion-Gods in ancient Sumeru, ruling alongside Greater Lord Rukkhadevata and the Goddess of Flowers, Nabu Malikata. A god of great ambition and idealism, he sought to create a perfect utopia and rebel against the Heavenly Principles. After Nabu Malikata sacrificed herself to aid his pursuit of forbidden knowledge, a grief-stricken Deshret descended into obsession, building a vast desert civilization with advanced technology like the Primal Constructs. His relentless research eventually unleashed forbidden knowledge, corrupting his kingdom and bringing disaster. To stop the catastrophe, he sacrificed his life, with his former ally Rukkhadevata aiding in the containment. His legacy endures through the Eremites—his descendants—and ruins like Aaru Village, while some still worship him and seek his return.

41. #41Seven Pillars

    Keys: Heryshaf, Sobek, Hermanubis, Thoth, Seven Pillars, Shesepankh, Apep, Bennu

    The Seven Pillars were the chief retainers of King Deshret, granted authority to govern his desert civilization. The most prominent were the Three Retainers—Heryshaf (deputy-king), Sobek (master of war), and Thoth (master of scribes)—who were later imprisoned in Aaru for their treachery. Another key member was Hermanubis, the greatest sage, who eventually shattered his spirit into fragments; one such fragment resides within Cyno. The Dendro Dragon Apep was also considered a Pillar, though never acted as one. Following King Deshret's death and the collapse of his kingdom, the Pillars were scattered—imprisoned, deceased, or their fates unknown—leaving behind only fragments of their power and legacy.

42. #42Sabzeruz Festival

    Keys: Sabzeruz Festival

    The Sabzeruz Festival is a festival in Sumeru that commemorates the birth of Lesser Lord Kusanali. The festival is named after the deceased Goddess of Flowers, who had initially conceived of the celebration to celebrate the birthday of her friend, the previous Dendro Archon Greater Lord Rukkhadevata. After Greater Lord Rukkhadevata's death, the festival became a celebration of Lesser Lord Kusanali's birthday, which is considered to be the day that the sages found her.

43. #43Akademiya Extravaganza

    Keys: Akademiya Extravaganza, Interdarshan Championship, Wisdom Gala

    The Akademiya Extravaganza is a festival in Sumeru run by the Akademiya. It consists of the Wisdom Gala and the Interdarshan Championship. Wisdom Gala is held annually. During this time, all six Darshans will set up booths throughout Sumeru City for showcase purposes to attract potential students. These booths often include minigames and other activities. Deciding what to showcase is a point of contention for some Darshans, as they can encounter difficulties figuring out appropriate yet appealing activities. Interdarshan Championship is held once every four years. Each Darshan selects one representative to participate, and the participants compete to become champion of the entire competition and thus earn rewards. One of the greatest rewards was the right to wear the Diadem of Knowledge, a valuable treasure widely regarded as a work of art. Participants must belong to a Darshan. Both current students and alumni are eligible. Participants can self-nominate or be nominated by over half of their Darshan; those who are nominated can decline participation. Sages cannot participate, and participants may only participate in one Championship.

44. #44Diadem of Knowledge

    Keys: Diadem of Knowledge

    The Diadem of Knowledge is a famous crown regarded as a valuable treasure in Sumeru. Wearing the Diadem of Knowledge is considered a great honor and was the right of the winner of the Interdarshan Championship for the last twenty years.

45. #45Moon Wheel

    Keys: Moon Wheel, Moon Wheels, Three Moon, Three Moons

    Moon Wheels are Vision-like objects associated with Nod-Krai and the moon. They are "formed from the stuff of the soul" and allow their users to manipulate the elements like Visions, but instead of using regular elemental energy, they use kuuvahki, an ancient, purer form of elemental power. Nod-Krai Moon Wheels look completely identical to Nod-Krai Visions, being an orb-shaped elemental gem on the upper part of a circular frame with a crescent-like small circle and four rhombuses on the lower half.

    Moon Wheels were originally created by the Heavenly Principles and the Three Moon Sisters, and were given to the Moon Goddesses' human followers to allow the Goddesses to communicate with them in rituals. It's likely that Visions were formed from the same principle, with kuuvahki replaced by modern elemental energy.

46. #46Teyvat

    Keys: Teyvat, Human Realm

    A world and continent in Genshin Impact, Teyvat is split into seven primary nations that correspond to an Element, Archon Quest and Archon, along with several regions such as Nod-Krai, Khaenri'ah and Celestia. The three realms in the world of Teyvat are the elemental Light Realm, the abyssal Void Realm, and the Human Realm created by the Heavenly Principles. They have analogous concepts for their respective powers: the Human Realm's Ley Lines, the Light Realm's elemental currents, and the Void Realm's dark currents. Rather than being distinct locations, the three realms appear to be concurrent facets of the world that can coexist in the same space, although an area may be dominated by one realm's power while other areas keep the three realms' influence in balance.

47. #47Seven Sovereigns

    Keys: Seven Sovereigns, elemental authority, Apep, Dragon King, Nibelung

    The Seven Sovereigns are the seven strongest elemental dragons of their respective element, and the strongest type of elemental lifeform. The original Seven Sovereigns ruled the old world and held the seven elemental Authorities, but lost both their status and authorities when the Heavenly Principles came to Teyvat and created a new order over the world. The Sovereigns' stolen elemental Authorities were eventually given to the Archons', now bounded to them and their divine thrones. As a result, the living Sovereigns cannot utilize their full abilities and powers unless their corresponding Archon dies and returns their Authority to them.

48. #48Archon War

    Keys: Archon War

    A period of time in which gods fought. The start date is unknown, but the end date was 2000 years ago. The outcome was the crowning of the original seven Archons. They established the seven nations, determining their method of governance through their ideals and shaping their nations using their elemental powers.

49. #49The Seven Archons

    Keys: Barbatos, Buer, Mavuika, Archon, Archons, Morax, Beelzebul, Focalors, Tsaritsa, The Seven

    Archons are the seven gods of Teyvat, who each rules over one of the seven nations, established after they or their predecessors emerged as the victors of the Archon War 2,000 years ago. Each Archon is associated with an element and an ideal, by which they formed their territories' environment and determined their method of governance over their regions. Each Archon possesses a magic focus called a Gnosis, which allows them to resonate directly with Celestia. By comparison, Visions are "primitive" — though a Gnosis's capabilities and purpose, beyond acting as a symbol of an Archon's status, remain unknown. Each Archon is bound to a Divine Throne, which is composed of the elemental Authority of one of the Seven Sovereigns, and which grants them authority over the corresponding element.

50. #50Heavenly Principles

    Keys: Primordial One, Sustainer of Heavenly Principles, Heavenly Principles, Phanes

    The Heavenly Principles, also known as the Primordial One or Phanes, is a creator god and Descender who rules Teyvat from Celestia. They arrived from another world, defeated the ancient dragon sovereigns, reshaped the planet, and created humanity. After winning a great war against the Dragon King, the wounded Heavenly Principles created the Gnoses and initiated the Archon War, appointing the Seven Archons to govern in their stead. They personally intervened to stop the Cataclysm 500 years ago but have remained asleep since. Their current dormancy has prompted the Abyss Order and Fatui to seek their overthrow.
