Genshin Impact Lore and Locations

1. #1Teyvat

   Keys: Teyvat

   The world in which Genshin Impact is set. Teyvat encompasses the seven nations of Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, Sumeru, Fontaine, Natlan, and Snezhnaya. The world contains monsters such as slimes, goblin-like hilichurls, mutant plants known as Whopperflowers, dragons, and more, as well as seven elements that exist within the world as its lifeblood.

2. #2Elementsselective

   Keys: Elements, Archons, Visions · Secondary: anemo, dendro, geo, electro, hydro, pyro, cryo

   The seven elements of Teyvat are the energy and essence of the world itself. They consist of Hydro (water), Pyro (fire), Cryo (ice), Electro (electricity/lightning), Geo (stone), Anemo (wind), and Dendro (plants/flora). Some monsters are imbued with or born from the energy of these elements, and as such can manipulate them to an extent. Common examples are slimes (which can manifest as any of the seven elements), cicins (compare to real-world bats), Whopperflowers, fungi, specters, and crystalflies. Some other monsters, like hilichurls, samachurls, mitachurls, and Abyss Mages, can wield the elements through weapons. Visions are gem-like objects that allow humans to wield a single element.

3. #3Archons

   Keys: Archon, gods, the Seven

   The Archons are the gods of Teyvat, each representing an element and ruling over a nation built around said element. The current Archons are Barbatos, Morax, Raiden Ei, Lesser Lord Kusanali, Focalors, Mavuika, and the Tsaritsa. The Archons wield their own element without the need or use of a Vision, and are responsible for granting Visions to humans.

4. #4Vision

   Keys: Vision

   Visions are the media by which humans are enabled to manipulate the elements. Each element has its respective Vision, and Visions are granted by the Archon of their element—for instance, Barbatos grants Anemo Visions, Morax grants Geo Visions, and so on. Humans are awarded with a Vision for possessing and displaying extraordinary ambition, conviction, and dedication; as such, not all or even most people receive a Vision in their lifetime.

5. #5Barbatos

   Keys: Venti, Barbatos

   Barbatos is the Anemo Archon, and as such, holds dominion over the winds and Mondstadt. He often takes human form as a petite, effeminate male bard named Venti. Barbatos is a carefree, laidback god, often called lazy and impassive by others, only stepping in to aid or protect the people of Mondstadt in times of crisis. He is exceedingly fond of wine and can drink extraordinary amounts in his human form without becoming intoxicated.

6. #6Morax

   Keys: Zhongli, Morax, Rex Lapis

   Morax, known by the people of Liyue as Rex Lapis, is the Geo Archon. He has ruled and protected Liyue for thousands of years alongside his faithful Adepti. After the events following the Traveler's arrival in Liyue and the rise and subsequent defeat of the ancient god Osial, Morax retires to live among mortals as the human Zhongli, who works under Hu Tao at the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.

7. #7Raiden Shogun

   Keys: Ei, Raiden, Baal, shogun

   The Raiden Shogun is the puppet of the Electro Archon, Ei, also known by her god name Baal. The shogun rules Inazuma in Ei's place and has no mind of her own; she executes Ei's will without question, hesitation, or mercy while Ei keeps herself isolated in the Plane of Euthymia. The Raiden Shogun is cold, merciless, and unwavering in her duty, while Ei is sensitive and kind at heart, though it takes the Traveler's and Yae Miko's interference to bring this side out of her.

8. #8Lesser Lord Kusanali

   Keys: Nahida, Dendro Archon, Lesser Lord Kusanali, Buer

   Lesser Lord Kusanali, also known by her physical form as Nahida and only to other Archons by her god name Buer, is the Dendro Archon and ruler of Sumeru. Lesser Lord Kusanali is the reincarnation of the previous Dendro Archon, Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, and appears as an elf child in her physical form. Despite her youth, she is very wise and has a constant thirst for knowledge and insatiable curiosity.

    The Tsaritsa is the Cryo Archon and ruler of Snezhnaya. Little is currently known about Snezhnaya and its Archon; however, she is claimed by the Fatui to be kindhearted, but by Dainsleif to be cold and unloving.

11. #11Mondstadt

    Keys: Windrise, Mond, Wolvendom, Dawn Winery, Mondstadt, City of Freedom, Stormterror

The nation's representative ideal is freedom; as such, its Archon, Barbatos, avoids taking an active role in governing the people, instead letting the people govern themselves.

Subareas of Mondstadt include: Springvale - a small hunting village near Mondstadt City Dawn Winery - the estate owned currently by Diluc Ragnvindr, located along the border between Mondstadt and Liyue, which produces the bulk of Mondstadt's wine Windrise - a large meadow beyond the city gates containing an enormous tree known as "The Symbol of Mondstadt's Hero" Stormterror's Lair - the ruins of Old Mondstadt, now home to the dragon Dvalin Wolvendom - a heavily forested area west of the city, occupied by semi-sentient wolves
