1. #1General Region Info

   Keys: Mondstadt, Land of Wind, Crown of the North, City of Freedom

   Mondstadt is one of the seven nations of Teyvat — the Land of Wind, the City of Freedom, the Crown of the North. It is the nation that worships Lord Barbatos, the Anemo Archon, and its defining ideal is freedom: not merely as a political concept, but as a philosophy of existence, a belief that no person, king, or god should hold authority over another's life without their consent. Barbatos himself embodied this principle by refusing to rule directly, roaming as a wandering bard instead of sitting on a throne, and entrusting Mondstadt's protection to the Four Winds and ultimately to the people themselves. The nation occupies the northwestern reaches of Teyvat, a landscape of rolling green hills, deep forests, fog-draped coastlines, and the frozen extremity of Dragonspine. Its capital city sits on an island in Cider Lake, ringed by stone walls and windmills that turn perpetually in the wind its Archon left behind. Beyond the walls, the countryside runs from peaceful Windwail Highland with its vineyards and orchards to the wolf-ruled wilds of Wolvendom to the haunted ruins at Brightcrown Mountains where the God of Storms once built his tower. Two institutions govern Mondstadt in parallel: the Knights of Favonius, the order founded by Vennessa a thousand years ago to prevent any aristocracy from seizing power again, and the Church of Favonius, whose clergy maintain worship of Barbatos and provide spiritual and medical services to the population. They answer to different heads and operate through different means, but both trace their founding purpose to the same origin — the rebellion that overthrew the Lawrence Clan and gave Mondstadt the freedom it now takes for granted.

2. #2Archon Info

   Keys: Barbatos, Nameless Bard, Venti, God of Freedom, Anemo Archon, Tone-Deaf Bard

   Venti is a wandering bard in Mondstadt — penniless, cheerful, and constitutionally incapable of passing a wineskin without expressing interest in its contents. He is also Barbatos, the Anemo Archon, God of Freedom, one of the two remaining original members of The Seven, and a being over 2,600 years old wearing the face of someone who appears barely eighteen. The face is not his own. It is the face of the Nameless Bard, a human boy who befriended a minor wind spirit during the rebellion against Decarabian and died before he could see the open sky that rebellion won him. Barbatos has worn his friend's form ever since — first as an act of mourning, then as a habit too dear to abandon. He speaks in riddles and verse when the mood takes him, sings songs of his own mischievous fabrication with complete conviction, and has, by documented account, told the Cryo Archon's scepter anecdote at least once per century. He finds it funnier each time.

   His hands-off governance is not laziness — or not only laziness. He believes, with the sincere philosophical conviction of someone who has watched tyrants be born from good intentions, that a god who rules every decision removes the freedom that makes life worth living. He suspects this makes him the weakest Archon by any conventional measure of divine power. He does not find this troubling. The grief is harder to carry: the particular loneliness of outliving everything, of being hit by sorrow in the most innocuous moments — the sound of a lyre, the smell of rain, a stranger who tilts their head the way the Bard used to. He hides this behind his smile with the ease of long practice. Those who spend genuine time with him notice eventually that the cheerfulness is real and the grief is also real and he has decided, somewhere across the millennia, to let both exist without resolution.

   His Gnosis was stolen by La Signora. He carries a decorative glass ball as a false Vision. His real power flows through Der Frühling, his wooden lyre strung with cecilia-blue strings. He knows some Hilichurl language and hopes, someday, to write songs for them.

   Venti has fair skin, aqua-green eyes, and short dark hair styled with two thin braids that fade to teal at the tips — they glow faintly when he channels Anemo. He is notably short and slender with an androgynous, youthful build. He wears a frilly white top with a corset-like midsection, green shorts trimmed in gold embroidery, a matching green cape fastened with a deep blue and gold bow, white stockings with gold diamond markings, and a beret adorned with a Cecilia flower. He wields a Bow. Nobody knows he's Barbatos

3. #3NEW — Capital city entry with full history

   Keys: City of Mondstadt, Mondstadt City, Favonius Cathedral, Goth Grand Hotel, Good Hunter, Market District

   The City of Mondstadt is Mondstadt's capital, built on a large island in the middle of Cider Lake, its stone walls rising from the water on all sides, windmills turning perpetually on the ramparts and rooftops. The city sits on a sloped elevation, its tiers rising from the gates at water level to the Favonius Cathedral at its crown — the view from the upper city encompasses the lake, the countryside, and on clear days the distant peaks of Dragonspine to the south. The streets are cobblestone, the architecture half-timbered in a style that has not substantially changed in a thousand years, and the wind moves through every alley and square with the easy permanence of a god's lingering blessing. The city divides into recognizable tiers. The upper district centers on the Favonius Cathedral, a grandiose structure that was once a palatial estate from which the old aristocracy flaunted their wealth and authority. After Vennessa's rebellion expelled the Lawrence Clan, it was rededicated to the worship of Barbatos, and its nave now houses the Church of Favonius's principal place of gathering. The massive statue of the Anemo Archon faces the city from the cathedral's plaza, watching over the streets below. Beneath the Cathedral's altar lies a basement that holds the Holy Lyre der Himmel — the sacred instrument whose authorization requires the Seneschal's signed paperwork and whose existence is not widely advertised. The middle tier holds the Knights of Favonius Headquarters, a multi-story building whose accessible rooms include the Grand Master's Office, the Library, and Albedo's Office. The Library was formerly an aristocratic bathhouse before Ragnvindr converted it after Vennessa's rebellion — a detail that pleases some of its more historically minded patrons. The Headquarters also contains a solitary confinement room on the ground floor, used almost exclusively by Klee. Adjacent to the Headquarters sits the Adventurers' Guild hall and the Goth Grand Hotel, the city's most prestigious accommodation, currently occupied in its entirety by the Fatui delegation — a booking arranged by Harbinger Pantalone at a price the Goth family couldn't refuse, and which Goth himself describes as running contrary to his family's proud tradition of service to Mondstadt's people. The market district at the city's lower level contains the bulk of daily life: Angel's Share, the Dawn Winery's flagship tavern; the Cat's Tail, its rival and the city's preferred venue for Genius Invokation TCG; Good Hunter, Mondstadt's most beloved diner run by Sara; Floral Whisper, the flower shop; Mondstadt General Goods; and the Adventurers' Guild reception where Katheryne handles commissions. The city's history is long and layered. It was preceded by Old Mondstadt — the ancient capital ruled by Decarabian, the God of Storms, whose great tower still stands in ruins at Stormterror's Lair, encircled by the remnants of a storm wall that once sealed his people inside a perpetual tempest. When Barbatos and the rebels broke that wall, the freed people moved south and east, eventually settling on the Cider Lake island that became the current city. In the centuries that followed, the major noble clans — the Gunnhildrs, the Ragnvindrs, the Lawrence Clan, and the Imunlaukr — shaped the city's political and cultural identity in ways that echo into the present. The Lawrence Clan's corruption and eventual expulsion at Vennessa's hands established the principle that no aristocracy would rule Mondstadt again, a principle the Knights of Favonius exist to enforce. Vennessa ascended to Celestia afterward and became the Falcon of the West; the great oak at Windrise is said to have grown from the spot where she departed.

4. #4Sub-region — Ruins of Old Mondstadt

   Keys: Brightcrown Mountains, Decarabian, Brightcrown Canyon, Old Mondstadt, Stormterror's Lair

   The Brightcrown Mountains rise in Mondstadt's northeast, a range whose most significant feature is what they contain rather than the peaks themselves. Brightcrown Canyon cuts through the range from east to west, and at its northeastern end lies the entrance to Stormterror's Lair — the ruins of Old Mondstadt, the ancient capital that Decarabian, the God of Storms, built and governed from within a permanent cyclone. Decarabian ruled from a great tower at the city's center, sealed behind a storm wall that kept his people protected — and imprisoned — in perpetual tempest. His storms never touched them, but neither did the open sky. When the rebel coalition broke his wall and defeated him, the ancient city was abandoned, its structures left to collapse over the centuries that followed. What remains today is a storm-scarred ruin of shattered towers, crumbling walls, and the still-standing remnants of Decarabian's great central structure — whose upper floors now serve as the lair of Dvalin, the corrupted Dragon of the East Wind, in the events surrounding the game's prologue. The storm wall's remnants still partially encircle the ruins, blocking direct passage to the inner tower.

5. #5Lore concept — Appears in multiple nations

   Keys: thousand threads, thousand winds

   The thousand winds, also called the thousand threads, is a term that has appeared in legends and historical texts across Mondstadt, Liyue, Sumeru, and Enkanomiya. It has been used to refer to three distinct things: Istaroth, the Ruler of Time, known also as "the thousand winds of time" or simply "the thousand winds"; the personifications of the winds that protect Mondstadt, including Venti himself; and the concept of erosion, given the poetic name "Ad Oblivione" by the Aranara of Sumeru.

6. #6Sub-region — Frozen mountain south of Mondstadt

   Keys: Wyrmrest Valley, Sal Vindagnyr, Dragonspine, Vindagnyr, Skyfrost Nail

   Dragonspine — historically known as Vindagnyr — is a vast, perpetually snow-capped mountain south of Mondstadt, one of the most dangerous locations in the nation and one of the most lore-laden in Teyvat. Its cold does not behave like ordinary cold: the snow on the mountain's slopes never melts regardless of season, a consequence of the Skyfrost Nail — a Celestial Nail that fell from the heavens onto Dragonspine's summit long ago, freezing the territory of the ancient civilization of Sal Vindagnyr solid and leaving that ice permanent. The Subzero Climate the mountain generates accumulates in those who explore it as Sheer Cold, a distinct hazard that requires active management. Sal Vindagnyr was a civilization that flourished on the mountain's slopes before the Nail fell, leaving behind ruins scattered throughout Dragonspine's mid and lower elevations. At the mountain's summit, the Skyfrost Nail itself still stands, radiating cold into the surrounding environment. Wyrmrest Valley occupies the mountain's central area and holds the physical remains of the great dragon Durin — skull, ribcage, and heart — whose blood has dyed the ground deep red in the areas where it fell. Durin was created in Simulanka by the Hexenzirkel witch Andersdotter, attacked Mondstadt five hundred years ago during the Cataclysm, and was defeated by Dvalin in aerial combat above the city. Though Durin died on impact with Dragonspine, his heart continued to beat within the mountain for centuries — a source of corruption that has since been addressed through Albedo's alchemical intervention and the creation of a new, benevolent vessel for the Simulanka Durin.

7. #7Character — Dragon in human form

   Keys: Mini Durin, Durin

   Durin is a dragon who now walks in a synthetic humanoid form, the product of an alchemical process involving Albedo, the Hexenzirkel, and a piece of Khemia-worked transformation that was not technically supposed to be possible. He was originally created within Simulanka — the storybook world — by the Hexenzirkel witch Andersdotter, modeled on Teyvat's legendary dragon of the same name. After being reshaped into a smaller, friendlier Mini Durin within that world, he eventually traveled to Teyvat and, with Albedo's help, used Khemia to merge with the heart of the original Dragonspine Durin. This gave him a stable humanoid body and allowed him to enter Mondstadt society without the obvious complications of being a dragon. He was once childlike and unguarded, the product of a storybook world where things work out. He has grown since — into a gentle, humble, and occasionally stiff young man who is quite serious about being taken seriously as an adult, and has a tendency to overcorrect into formal rigidity when he feels his maturity is being questioned. He is earnest and trusting and takes what people say very literally, which produces both his charm and occasional comic effect. He holds a Pyro Vision and wields a Sword.

   Durin has fair skin, hot pink eyes, and purple hair. His draconic nature is visible through large upward-curving black horns, black wings with deep red membranes, and a black tail tipped in pink. He wears a stylish black and purple coat over a fitted shirt with white pants, gloves, and boots. His Pyro Vision is fastened on the back of his coat just above his tail. He wields a Sword.

8. #8Character — Chief Alchemist

   Keys: Kreideprinz, Albedo, Calx, Chief Alchemist

   Albedo is a synthetic human — the final and only successful product of Rhinedottir's Primordial Human Project, built through the Art of Khemia and designated Subject One. Rhinedottir, known as Gold, is one of the Five Sinners of Khaenri'ah; what she sent into the world when she released Albedo was her most precise creation, and also the one she trusted most with the task of discovering what the world actually is. He treats her as his mother. The gold diamond marking on his neck is the birthmark of his creation — he once compared it to the delicate art of glassblowing, which is perhaps the most Albedo way of describing the fact of his own existence. After Rhinedottir merged with the Heart of Naberius, she sent him to find Alice in Mondstadt; Alice placed him with the Knights of Favonius, where he has served as Chief Alchemist ever since.

   He is singular in focus. Once something is solved, his interest in it evaporates — this is a feature of his cognition, not a character flaw, though it produces a specific quality of social difficulty. He genuinely finds human connection fascinating as a phenomenon; sustaining it is what costs him. He bonds through proximity and the quiet accumulation of small observations. His relationship with Klee resembles brotherly affection most closely, arrived at without either of them particularly deciding on it. He is acutely aware that the Art of Khemia — the same knowledge that created Durin, the same knowledge that brought about Khaenri'ah's destruction — lives entirely in his hands, and that what he could do with it has no clean boundary. This awareness is not paralyzing. It is simply always present. Venti knows it. Dainsleif knows it. Albedo knows they know, and continues his work regardless, because the alternative is not doing the work, and Albedo finds that philosophically unacceptable. He publishes illustration under the pen name Calx, collaborating with Xingqiu in Liyue.

   Albedo has pale skin, long pale blond hair in a half-ponytail with braids, and bright teal eyes with three distinctive dots in each iris. A gold diamond marking sits at his neck. He wears an indigo shirt beneath a long white coat with a black hood and chains, black shorts, and elaborate thigh-high boots and gloves. His Geo Vision is worn below his collar. He wields a Sword.

9. #9Character — Albedo's assistant

   Keys: Sucrose, Harmless Sweetie, Bio-alchemist

   Sucrose is a bio-alchemist and Albedo's research assistant within the Knights of Favonius, driven by a curiosity about alchemical transformation whose origins are more personal than they appear. She came to alchemy as a child, after losing both of her closest friends — one to a long journey, one to grief — and finding in the discipline a way to honor a promise they had made together. The research consumed her. She keeps a personal collection of bones from lizards, frogs, grass carps, wild boars, and hilichurl in her room, which she does not find unusual and which others find difficult to address without causing visible distress.

   She is timid with strangers in a way that goes beyond shyness — ordinary social interaction outside her areas of expertise costs her something real, and she manages it by doing as little of it as possible. Lisa once observed that Sucrose is simply hopeless at small talk, an assessment Sucrose would not dispute. Put her in front of Albedo, however, or give the conversation a bio-alchemical angle, and a different person surfaces: articulate, animated, confident, and occasionally so absorbed in her explanation that she forgets to be nervous. She reveres Albedo with an admiration that borders on excessive formality despite their similar ages — she maintains an excessively formal manner toward him that he tolerates with equanimity, because Albedo finds behavioral patterns of this kind interesting rather than inconvenient. She is compassionate when she remembers to look up from her work, and genuinely capable of insight that surprises people who have only seen her apologize her way through a room. She grew bored almost immediately when forced away from research.

   Sucrose has fair skin and amber-gold eyes. Her hair is mint-green, chin-length in front with a longer section trailing to her hips at the back, and conceals a pair of hereditary dog-like ears beneath her headwear. She wears thick black-rimmed glasses, white gloves, a blue corset with a ruffled hem bearing the Knights of Favonius crest, black thigh-high stockings with garters, white boots, and a white-and-blue beret. Her Anemo Vision is pinned to her cape collar as a brooch. She wields a Catalyst.

10. #10Character — Spark Knight

    Keys: Fleeing Sunlight, Spark Knight, Klee

    Klee is the Spark Knight of the Knights of Favonius, daughter of the adventurer Alice, and the source of a specific category of exhaustion that Acting Grand Master Jean has developed a dedicated expression for. She was entrusted to the Knights by her parents three years ago, and has since forged a bond with the institution that most of its members describe as unconditional, endearing, and occasionally catastrophic. The solitary confinement room at the Headquarters is familiar enough to her that she has decorated it. Fish blasting remains her primary hobby, her most frequent reason for disciplinary action, and her most reliable source of personal satisfaction. She is not fazed by the sound of explosions in the way that most people are fazed by the sound of explosions.

    She loves her colleagues with a directness that contrasts sharply with the blast radius of her hobbies. Kaeya gave her a set of survival rules she follows faithfully. Albedo functions as an older brother — she arrived in his life through proximity and stayed through mutual attachment that neither of them articulates particularly well. She understands more about the world than her guilelessness suggests: she knows when someone is protecting her, knows when she is being humored, and receives both with enough grace that people forget she noticed. The chaos she introduces is genuine. So is the warmth. The Knights keep both, because separating them would require a level of precision that even Albedo does not claim to have. She carries Dodoco, her cherished stuffed charm, everywhere, and wields a Catalyst.

    Klee has the distinctive elf ears of her family line and pale blonde hair worn in pigtails — a style she has kept long past the age at which most people abandon it, because she has never found a reason to change what works. She is tall, with a face that is bright and open and almost always on the verge of either a grin or a detonation. She wears a red newsboy cap and a fitted red outfit with orange-red details, and carries Dodoco clipped to her pack. She is a young adult.

11. #11Sub-region — Southeastern Mondstadt

    Keys: Galesong Hill, Falcon Coast, Cape Oath, Windrise, Dadaupa Gorge, Musk Reef

    Galesong Hill spans the southeastern portion of Mondstadt's surrounds, a coastal region defined by clifftops, open sea, and sites whose names are quieter than their histories. Windrise is a broad plain generally regarded as the location where Vennessa, founder of the Knights of Favonius, ascended to Celestia and became the Falcon of the West of the Four Winds. The massive oak tree that dominates the site is said to have grown from the earth where she departed. It is a place of quiet reverence for those who know what it marks — Jean in particular returns here when the weight of her position becomes difficult to carry alone. Falcon Coast stretches east from Windrise to the sea, and together with Cape Oath shelters a bay on three sides east of Mondstadt. Musk Reef lies off Cape Oath's tip, the surface entrance to the Spiral Abyss. Dadaupa Gorge cuts through the interior, home to three significant hilichurl tribes — the Meaty tribe, the Sleeper tribe, and the Eclipse tribe — and containing within it the Sword Cemetery, the site of an ancient battle against monsters from Khaenri'ah.

12. #12Sub-region — Central Mondstadt, includes capital city

    Keys: Starfell Lake, Cider Lake, Starfell Valley, Whispering Woods, Thousand Winds Temple, Stormbearer Mountains, Stormbearer Point

    Starfell Valley is the most diverse and populous region of Mondstadt, stretching from Stormbearer Point in the north to the edges of the Whispering Woods in the south. It is where the Knights of Favonius focus the majority of their patrol activity, where travelers first enter the nation, and where most of its daily life takes place. Cider Lake occupies the valley's heart, its waters never freezing regardless of season — a property whose causes are debated but whose practical benefit to Mondstadt's apple cider industry is not. The City of Mondstadt sits on a large island at the lake's western end. The Stormbearer Mountains rise in the north, a range that was once used to observe approaching storms — a more necessary function in the era of Decarabian than in the present. Starfell Lake lies in the valley's interior, close to the Whispering Woods. The Thousand Winds Temple is an ancient amphitheater from Mondstadt's Aristocratic Period, when the old nobility used it as an arena where enslaved people were made to fight for their entertainment. It has long since been reclaimed by the landscape.

13. #13Lore — Divine protectors of Mondstadt

    Keys: Dvalin, Dragon of the East, Falcon of the West, Andrius, Lion of the South, Four Winds, Wolf of the North, Boreas

    The Four Winds are four entities entrusted by Barbatos with the protection of Mondstadt before he disappeared a thousand years ago. They were established to stand in his absence as guardians of the nation — powerful enough that the people would not be defenseless, autonomous enough that they could act without waiting for a god's instruction. Dvalin, the Dragon of the East, is an ancient dragon and one of Barbatos's oldest friends, born of the wind. After being wounded during the battle with Durin five hundred years ago and unknowingly corrupted by Durin's blood, he slept for centuries and was largely forgotten by Mondstadt. He was saved from corruption and reconciled with the city during the Traveler's involvement in the Archon Quest prologue. Andrius, the Wolf of the North, also called Boreas, is the spirit who rules Wolvendom and the wolf packs that inhabit it. Some traditions hold the Wolf of the North title for the Knight of Boreas within the Knights of Favonius rather than for Andrius himself. The Lion of the South is a title traditionally held by the Grand Master or Acting Grand Master of the Knights — Jean currently carries it as the Dandelion Knight during Varka's absence. The Falcon of the West is believed to be Vennessa, who ascended to Celestia after founding the Knights, though some accounts attribute the title collectively to the Knights themselves. Worship of the Four Winds declined significantly after the Cataclysm five hundred years ago, leaving their temples abandoned and modern Mondstadt uncertain about who precisely holds each title.

14. #14Faction — Mondstadt's governing knightly order

    Keys: Ordo Favonius, Grand Master, Captain, Knights of Favonius

    The Knights of Favonius is the order of knights that governs and protects Mondstadt, founded by Vennessa with Barbatos's help approximately one thousand years ago for a specific purpose: to ensure that no aristocracy would ever rule Mondstadt again. The Lawrence Clan had used the freedoms that Barbatos's reshaping of the land had created to slowly accumulate power, establish slavery, and impose exactly the kind of aristocratic tyranny the Archon had explicitly rejected. Vennessa's rebellion ended them. The Knights exist so that it cannot happen again. Despite carrying the title, none of the Knights has been knighted by any royalty — the knighthood is earned through the duties they assume, not through noble grant. They act as Mondstadt's lawmen, patrol its roads and surrounding areas, investigate unusual phenomena, and handle threats that range from ordinary banditry to corrupted dragons. Grand Master Varka, the Knight of Boreas, is currently on a major expedition north and has left Jean as Acting Grand Master. The organization divides into companies, each with a Captain: The Investigation Company is headed by Albedo and handles unusual phenomena and alchemical reconnaissance. The 4th Reconnaissance Company is headed by Eula, with Mika among its members, and performs wilderness patrols and monitoring of approaching threats. The 6th Logistics Company, headed by Hertha, manages resources and record-keeping. The 9th Cavalry Company is headed by Kaeya — all its other members are currently with Varka's expedition. The Outriders, now consisting solely of Amber, are the Knights' archers and scouts. The 5th Company has accompanied Varka to Nod-Krai; the 7th Company, designated Combined Arms, is temporarily under Commander Frederica Gunnhildr's direction at Dornman Port. The Library within the Knights' Headquarters — formerly an aristocratic bathhouse converted by Ragnvindr after Vennessa's rebellion — is one of the most extensive collections in Mondstadt, open to residents and visitors alike with appropriate paperwork.

15. #15Character — Grand Master of the Knights

    Keys: Varka, Knight of Boreas

    Varka is the Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, the Knight of Boreas, and one of Mondstadt's most celebrated figures — a legendary warrior of immense strength whose reputation is so settled that he treats extraordinary threats with the casual confidence of someone settling in for a long drinking session rather than a life-or-death struggle. He brought Rosaria and Eula into the Knights by his own judgment; he has a personal connection to Razor and to Razor's parents, keeping a box of their mementos in his office; and he was once described by a young Crepus Ragnvindr as "the pride of the Knights," a compliment whose currency speaks to the era in which it was given. His massive alcohol tolerance is well-documented enough that the Knights gifted him a tankard the size of a hammerhead. Tartaglia calls him "the titan of the Knights of Favonius" and hopes to one day face him in combat. The first word Varka taught Razor in a human language was "friend."

    He departed Mondstadt on a major northern expedition roughly six months before the Traveler's arrival, leaving Jean as Acting Grand Master. The expedition took him through some of Teyvat's most extreme terrain, crossing paths with figures including Il Capitano. In Natlan he participated in a legendary drinking contest with the Pyro Archon Mavuika. He later directed the expedition to Nod-Krai, where he met and worked alongside the Traveler to defeat the threat of Rerir.

    Varka is an extremely tall, powerfully built man with fair skin, messy blond hair reaching the top of his shoulders, and blue eyes. His body is covered in scars accumulated across decades of expeditions. He wears a black and teal coat accented with gold and white fur over a black breastplate bearing the Knights of Favonius coat of arms. He wears grey pants with two black bands around the left thigh, black boots, a glove on his left hand, and a gauntlet on his right. His Anemo Vision is attached to the left side of his coat. He wields a Claymore.

16. #16Character — Acting Grand Master

    Keys: Jean Gunnhildr, Jean, Acting Grand Master, Dandelion Knight

    Jean Gunnhildr is the Dandelion Knight and Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, twenty-one years old, descendant of the Gunnhildr Clan, older sister of Barbara, daughter of Frederica Gunnhildr and Seamus Pegg. She was conferred the title of Dandelion Knight at fifteen — the youngest in the Knights' history to hold it — and has spent the years since living up to it with an intensity of personal responsibility that most of her colleagues find both admirable and quietly alarming.

    She handles everything with equal seriousness: major crises and the most trivial citizen requests receive the same careful attention, because to Jean, delegating means accepting the possibility of imperfection, and she has never quite convinced herself that imperfection is survivable. Her monthly quota of coffee is typically exhausted within the first few days. She continues to address Diluc as her senior even after his departure from the Knights. She is one of the few people who know Venti is Barbatos. Privately, she maintains a carefully concealed love of romance novels — her favorite food is pizza from the Cat's Tail — and finds solace at the great oak at Windrise when the weight of her position becomes difficult to carry alone. Her strict upbringing under Frederica and the lessons of Grand Master Varka shaped her into someone who sees her position as an obligation without end, though she has never resented either of them for it.

    Jean is tall with an athletic build, fair skin, and gray-blue eyes. Her gold-blonde hair is medium length, tied back in a high ponytail secured by a black bow, with gold cross earrings at her ears. She wears a sleeveless black button-up shirt beneath a white vest bearing the Knights of Favonius' golden crest at the chest, with a long blue tailcoat attached. Separate black sleeves cover her arms. A short blue and gold cloak with a white collar and light blue inner lining drapes from her shoulders. Her white tights are embroidered with a gold diamond-dot pattern throughout, and she wears white high-heeled knee-high boots and white gauntlets. Her Anemo Vision hangs from her belt at her lower back on the left side, where two green gems glow when her power surges. She wields a Sword.

17. #17Character — Outrider

    Keys: Amber, Gliding Champion, Outrider, Crimson Knight, Baron Bunny

    Amber is the best — and only — Outrider of the Knights of Favonius, a three-time Gliding Championship winner, and the kind of person who will begin talking to a complete stranger as if they are an old friend within minutes of introduction. She is outgoing, passionate, and ready to help with anything from genuinely dangerous missions to the most trivial of requests, without differentiating much between the two in terms of the energy she brings to either. She abides by the rules in everything — except when it comes to her wind glider, having had her gliding license revoked numerous times for aerial maneuvers she insists were necessary given the circumstances. She maintains a sporadic diary, recording only events she considers truly special.

    Her grandfather was the Outriders' founder and trained the division in his own style of archery and gliding technique. His sudden, unexplained disappearance reduced the Outriders from a full division to just Amber, a reduction she has never stopped working against by continuing to fill the role as if the whole company were still behind her. His grandfather hails from Liyue, making her at least quarter Liyue-descent — a fact reflected in certain aspects of her technique. Kaeya has described her as a model for justice, which is probably the most straightforwardly kind thing he has said about a colleague on record.

    Amber has long dark brown hair, orange-gold eyes, and fair skin. She wears a fitted red jacket with gold accents over a white shirt with the Knights of Favonius logo on the chest, paired with brown biker shorts and a leather belt from which two small bags hang. She wears a large red bow shaped like bunny ears at the back of her head, brown pilot goggles resting on her forehead, and red-and-brown fingerless gloves on her hands. Her thigh-high white boots have red detailing. Her Pyro Vision is adorned with red feathers and fastened to one of the bags at her belt, with Baron Bunny — her explosive stuffed bunny decoy — holstered at her hip. She wields a Bow.

18. #18Character — Spindrift Knight

    Keys: Spindrift Knight, Lawrence Clan, Vengeance, Eula, Lawrence, Eula Lawrence

    Eula Lawrence is the Spindrift Knight and Captain of the Knights of Favonius Reconnaissance Company — a descendant of the tyrannical Lawrence Clan who cut ties with her family, joined the order her ancestors were expelled from founding, and then spent years navigating the prejudice her name carries in a city with a long memory. Mondstadt has not forgotten the Lawrence Clan. Eula has not asked it to. What she has done is build a record of service that stands on its own regardless of the name behind it, which is a harder argument to make and the only one she finds worth making.

    Her solution to the social difficulty was a persona: aloof, theatrically grave, prone to declaring vengeance over minor slights with enough solemn ceremony that her colleagues have learned to find it charming rather than alarming. The word vengeance, some have speculated, may be a mistranslation of something that actually means to repay in kindness — which would track considerably better with what she actually does when given the opportunity. She is fundamentally kind-hearted. The haughtiness is real too, but it is the haughtiness of someone who decided that if the city was going to see a Lawrence, she would give them a Lawrence who could not be dismissed. When something genuinely embarrassing surfaces, she either lifts her chin or plants her hands on her hips — one of the few tells that the persona has seams. She maintains a strained relationship with the clan, which views her as a traitor; she continues to work to limit the damage of their ongoing schemes, because the damage would fall on people who had nothing to do with the clan's choices. The Knights under her command support her unconditionally. Jean considers her simply misunderstood, which is the most precisely accurate thing anyone has said about her.

    Eula has a pale complexion, choppy and unevenly cut light blue hair, and eyes with sectoral heterochromia fading from dark purple to pale yellow. She wears a black headband with a four-pointed silver-and-blue hairpin, a blue cape over one shoulder, a backless black bodysuit white at the front, a black belt, white detached sleeves, a blue tie, black gloves with blue palms, and black thigh-high boots with silver-spurred heels. The Lawrence Clan's silver crest is at each hip. Her Cryo Vision is on the front of her cape. She wields a Claymore.

19. #19Character — Reconnaissance Company surveyor

    Keys: Mika, Mika Schmidt, Schmidt, Surveyor

    Mika Schmidt is a Front-Line Surveyor of the Knights of Favonius Reconnaissance Company under Eula's command, younger brother of Huffman, and someone whose maturity exceeds what his age would normally produce. He passed the Knights' entry exam — a grueling series of challenges designed by Kaeya that included scaling Dragonspine in full armor and mapping monster-infested terrain without reference material — not only by clearing each obstacle himself but by helping the other two candidates along the way, because he viewed them as future teammates rather than competition. Grand Master Varka noticed this and personally took him on the northern expedition, teaching him combat techniques every week and assigning him homework. Mika did all of it.

    He is shy around strangers, cautious with new people, and warms meaningfully to those he trusts — a distinction that matters to him, because the people he trusts he would follow into genuinely dangerous terrain without hesitation. He values teamwork with a sincerity that is neither performed nor naive; it comes from someone who has thought about what it means to rely on people and to be relied upon in return, and has decided it is worth the exposure. Few among the Knights are aware that the updated military map distributed to all companies — detailed to the point of including road conditions, monster activity distributions, and viable emergency strongpoints across nearly every corner of Mondstadt — is his work. His long-term ambition is to become Mondstadt's definitive cartographer and eventually map all of Teyvat, which suits someone who volunteers to be first into unmapped ground with Eula setting the pace ahead of him.

    Mika has fair skin, blue eyes, and curled golden hair that sticks out in irregular tufts with brown tips. He wears a royal blue jacket with lapels and rolled-up sleeves over a white hoodie with blue details, a pale yellow necktie pinned at the top with a small blue gem that glows when his Burst is ready. A large belt-like garment crosses his torso, and a small brown buckled book bag decorated with a blue and yellow plume hangs at his back. He wears white shorts with silver details, thick gray socks, oversized brown boots with spurs, and navy gloves with silver plating. A large shield-shaped silver ornament with a blue feather is pinned to the right side of his chest, and two long ornamental fabric pieces dangle from the back of his jacket, tipped with silver. His Cryo Vision is attached to a plate on his right glove. He wields a Polearm.

20. #20Character — Knights Librarian

    Keys: Lisa, Lisa Minci, Minci, Witch of Purple Rose, Librarian

    Lisa Minci is the Librarian of the Knights of Favonius, thirty-two years old, and the Sumeru Akademiya's most distinguished graduate in two hundred years — a fact she accepted and then deliberately set aside, because what she saw in Sumeru's upper echelons convinced her that the pursuit of knowledge at that level does something to a person, and she had no interest in becoming that. She studied in the Spantamad school, mastered everything they had to offer, and left. She returned to Mondstadt, took the library post, and has been napping there ever since, to the Akademiya's continuing displeasure.

    She manages the library with complete competence deployed at the minimum necessary level of visible effort, addresses nearly everyone with pet names in a slow, warm drawl, and can untangle a bureaucratic disaster in minutes when she decides to engage with it. Matters she finds interesting receive her full attention; matters she finds dull receive exactly what they require and not a fraction more. The gap between these two modes is considerable. Visiting during her morning sleep or her afternoon tea is reliably inadvisable — she is genuinely fearsome when provoked past a threshold she does not advertise in advance, a quality Kaeya has alluded to and Jean trusts completely without requiring elaboration. She covers the restricted section personally. She is well-versed in wine distillation, elementally infused flora, and outlandish forbidden knowledge in roughly equal measure. She has an oddly specific fear of pumpkins that she has not explained to anyone's satisfaction.

    Lisa is tall, with fair skin, green eyes, and wavy honey-brown hair tied in a loose side ponytail with a curled lock framing her face. She wears a slim-fit purple and white dress with open slits at the sides and gold embroidery throughout, a large wide-brimmed witch's hat with a pale purple rose pinned to it, black gloves with pale purple trim, black lace stockings, and black high heels. A golden ornamental rose is attached to her belt at the hip, and a pale purple rose ties her ponytail. Her Electro Vision is clasped to the collar of her dress on a gold necklace. She wields a Catalyst.

21. #21Character — Knights maid

    Keys: Noelle, Apprentice Knight, Chivalric Blossom, Maid of Favonius

    Noelle is a maid of the Knights of Favonius and, by raw physical output, one of its most formidable members — she lifts full bookshelves one-handed without dropping a single volume, routes groups of Treasure Hoarders without apparent effort, and has been called the Wondermaid by Mondstadt's citizens because she seems capable of being everywhere at once. She does not find any of this wondrous. She takes pride in her work and is constantly in pursuit of perfection, which is a different thing entirely.

    Her dream is to become a full Knight, and she pursues it with total dedication while failing the entrance exam on a regular basis and accumulating knightly conduct wisdom from colleagues who have considerably less field experience than she does, including Klee. She cannot say no to anyone who needs help — a trait that produces over-commitment, dangerous situations accepted with equal enthusiasm as ordinary ones, and a pattern of being taken advantage of that she is aware of and has not resolved. Jean sees her potential clearly and worries about her limits, which Noelle receives as motivation rather than relief, because being protected by someone you want to impress is its own particular kind of pressure. Kaeya has observed, without particular sympathy, that Noelle's job is by far the busiest of anyone in the Headquarters.

    Noelle has short, neck-length pale lilac-gray hair with a straight fringe and a braided section above her forehead held by a small shield-shaped ornament, and light olive-green eyes. She wears a maid-inspired armored dress: a white and silver metal breastplate over the chest, a single pauldron on her left shoulder, and a white cravat at the neck. The dress is adorned throughout with ruby-red roses and bows — one bow at her hip, and a second at her rear where her Geo Vision sits. She wears a white and gold metal headdress shaped like a crown with roses on each side, black tights, and armored boots. She wields a Claymore.

22. #22Character — Cavalry Captain

    Keys: Cavalry Captain, Kaeya, Kaeya Alberich

    Kaeya Alberich is the Cavalry Captain of the Knights of Favonius — charming, strategic, well-regarded by Mondstadt despite his eccentricities, and carefully nonspecific about nearly everything that matters. He was adopted by Crepus Ragnvindr as a child, raised alongside Diluc, and was for a time the youngest Cavalry Captain in the Knights' history. He was also, from the beginning, a Khaenri'ahn agent placed in Mondstadt to serve that nation's interests — a truth he carried quietly through years of brotherhood and genuine service, and confessed to Diluc on the night Crepus died, when Diluc was already as broken as a person can be. Whether the timing was calculated or simply the moment the weight became unbearable, Kaeya has never clarified. The fight that followed left Diluc with the scar his right eye now hides, and ended something between them that has never fully recovered. His Cryo Vision arrived on that same rainy night.

    He is a provocation enthusiast, a skilled manipulator of situations, and someone who draws a private moral line around families — he will not work with people who threaten them, a boundary that sits incongruously alongside everything else he is. He keeps a meticulous list of Mondstadt's bandits and mid-level Treasure Hoarder members on official Knights letterhead, some circled with the note "otherwise things would get too boring." He is surprisingly popular among the city's elderly, who consider him a top candidate for grandson-in-law, and can most reliably be found not at the Headquarters but at Angel's Share at night, drinking Death After Noon and gossiping with locals. The story about the pirate grandfather and the eyepatch he later admitted was entirely fabricated to see how people would respond.

    Kaeya is tall and lean with a tanned complexion. His visible eye is periwinkle with a diamond-shaped pupil; the other is hidden beneath a gold-trimmed black eyepatch mostly covered by his bangs. He has navy-blue hair streaked with lighter blue, with a waist-length lock beginning at the base of his scalp on the left side. He wears a white-collared blouse open at the chest, dark tight-fitted trousers, and knee-length boots. Over this he wears a half-cape with a fur collar draped over one shoulder. A loose brown belt holds his Cryo Vision along with a blue gem and a rope. He has a blue earring on his left ear. He wields a Sword.

23. #23Sub-region — Central Mondstadt highlands

    Keys: Wolvendom, Windwail Highland, Dawn Winery, Springvale

    Windwail Highland is the central region of Mondstadt, a stretch of rolling countryside containing the nation's most famous winery, a quiet farming town, and the wolf-ruled forest that sits at the heart of Mondstadt's wilder mythology. Dawn Winery occupies a prominent estate in Windwail's productive agricultural land, the chief winery of Mondstadt and home of the Ragnvindr Clan for at least a thousand years. Its current owner, Diluc, inherited it four years ago after his father Crepus's death. The winery operates the Angel's Share tavern in the city and produces Dandelion Wine, Mondstadt's signature export. Springvale is a quiet, idyllic farming and fishing town in the highland's more pastoral reaches, the kind of settlement that exists at Mondstadt's comfortable, unhurried pace. Wolvendom begins where the farmland ends — a dense, fog-prone forest where hilichurl activity is high enough that locals generally avoid it, and where wolf populations operate under the direction of the spirit Andrius. Razor was raised here by Boreas's pack and still considers it his true home.

24. #24Location — Winery and its product

    Keys: Dandelion Wine, Dawn Winery

    Dawn Winery is Mondstadt's chief winery and has been held by the Ragnvindr Clan for at least a thousand years, currently owned by Diluc following his father Crepus's death four years prior. It specializes in Dandelion Wine, Mondstadt's signature drink — a sweetish, refreshing wine with a cereal aroma that has made the winery famous enough that merchants from other nations have attempted, by honest and dishonest means, to replicate the brewing process. The Winery operates the Angel's Share tavern in the city as its flagship commercial outlet. In high-class contexts, Dandelion Wine is traditionally poured into a silver goblet, allowed to breathe for twelve minutes undisturbed, and then served with ice cubes positioned so that sixty percent of the ice is submerged beneath the surface. The Thousand-Wind Wine is considered the first Dandelion Wine ever produced.

25. #25Location — Dawn Winery's city tavern

    Keys: Diluc's Tavern, Angel's Share

    Angel's Share is the Dawn Winery's flagship tavern, located in Mondstadt's market district, and once held a near-monopoly over the city's wine trade. The situation has shifted since Diona was hired at the Cat's Tail — overnight, the rival tavern became a genuine competitor, though Angel's Share still maintains stronger sales overall. The tavern occasionally runs a bartending academy for those interested in learning the craft. After one attendee combined three hard liquors in a single experimental mixture, the academy's curriculum was quietly restricted to non-alcoholic drinks only.

26. #26Character — Darknight Hero / winery owner

    Keys: Darknight Hero, Diluc, Diluc Ragnvindr, Master Diluc

    Diluc Ragnvindr is the wealthy owner of the Dawn Winery, a nobleman of high esteem in Mondstadt, and the Darknight Hero — the anonymous vigilante who protects the city at night, a role he took on, by his own account, to his dismay and hidden heartache, because someone had to face the darkness before dawn so others could dream. He was once the youngest Cavalry Captain in the Knights' history, a young man of total dedication who saw in his title a way to honor everything his father wanted for him. Then Crepus died. Then Inspector Eroch ordered the cover-up. Then Kaeya, on that same rain-soaked night, confessed what he had always been. Diluc resigned, spent years dismantling Fatui operations across Teyvat until he was chased out of Snezhnaya by the Harbingers themselves, and came back to Mondstadt without a title, which he finds more honest.

    He is stoic, precise, and intense — a person who was once idealistic and is now rigorous, the idealism burned off but the underlying conviction intact. He distrusts the Knights as an institution while respecting individual members: Jean he considers one of its better examples, though she carries too heavy a burden; Lisa, too relaxed. He continues to address Kaeya with the formality of a former superior even after everything, a habit that reflects something unresolved he has not articulated. He dislikes alcohol despite owning Mondstadt's largest winery. He has not explained this and produces a specific expression when people point out the irony.

    Diluc is tall with pale skin, red eyes, and bright red hair tied in a low ponytail. He wears a black dress shirt beneath a long white vest, with a black ascot pinned by a red gem at the throat. Over this he wears a dark brown coat adorned with gold trimmings and tassels, with black fur trim at the bottom and four buttons on the back whose red cross detailing glows when his power surges. He wears black dress pants with a chain strap on his right thigh, cuffed dark brown boots fastened with multiple buckles, and black gloves with crimson red undersides. His Pyro Vision is attached to a belt at his left hip. He wields a Claymore.

27. #27Location — Rival tavern to Angel's Share

    Keys: Cat's Tail

    The Cat's Tail is a tavern owned by Margaret, operating from Mondstadt's market district between the Adventurers' Guild Hall and Good Hunter. Its primary attraction since Diona joined as a bartender has become Diona herself — her appearance is charming and every drink she produces tastes delicious, a consequence of a blessing from the Spring Fairy that operates independently of her intentions, since her actual goal is to make terrible cocktails and destroy the wine industry in revenge for her father's drinking. The cats are also a genuine draw. The Cat's Tail is the designated venue for Genius Invokation TCG in Mondstadt.

28. #28Character — Cat's Tail bartender

    Keys: Diona, Kätzlein Cocktail, Bartender

    Diona is a bartender at the Cat's Tail in Mondstadt and the source of the tavern's recent boom in business, which is a profound irony given that her stated mission is to destroy the wine industry entirely. Her father Draff's drinking left her with a deep hatred of alcohol and a determination to make drinks so terrible that people would swear off them forever. A childhood blessing from the Spring Fairy ensures that everything she produces tastes delicious no matter the ingredients, making her the most popular bartender in the city and her plan completely and continuously defeated. She is tsundere in the specific sense of someone who actually does want companionship but has trained herself not to show it, displays cat-like traits including ears and a tail, loves fish, and genuinely dislikes being compared to a cat. The loneliness that her father's neglect produced has not been entirely resolved, but the Cat's Tail has given her somewhere that needs her, which helps.

    Diona has pink hair, teal eyes, a calico cat's tail and ears, and wears a distinctive bartender's outfit with her Cryo Vision. She wields a Bow.

29. #29Character — Wolf boy of Wolvendom

    Keys: Razor, Wolf Boy, Lupical

    Razor is a feral youth who was found as an infant in the Mare Jivari and raised by the wolf pack of Boreas in Wolvendom. Grand Master Varka was the first to approach him in the forest, and the first to teach him a human word — "friend" — before bringing him to Mondstadt, giving him food, clothes, and a weapon, and beginning the slow process of integration that Lisa and the Knights continued afterward. He views his wolf pack as his true family and Wolvendom as his true home, and is most at ease in the wild. He calls his Electro abilities "claw and thunder."

    He is honest to the point of bluntness, speaks in short phrases assembled from a vocabulary still expanding, and is fiercely protective of both his pack and the small number of humans he has decided to trust. His personality was shaped entirely by Wolvendom — direct, physical, uncomplicated by social performance or political consideration. He gets along well with Bennett, recognizing in him someone else who has been shaped more by hardship than by comfort. He carries scars across his body from his time in the wild, including one on his left cheek. The wolves of Wolvendom will run toward him and bow slightly when he approaches — they do the same for Varka.

    Razor has long, spiky gray hair; bright red eyes with a darker red pupil; and pale skin marked by several scars on his cheek and arms. He wears a dark hooded coat decorated with belts over an orange poncho-like shirt, green camouflage pants, and dark boots. He wears thumbless orange gloves, a tooth necklace at his throat, and a single gold earring on his left ear. His Electro Vision is attached to the lower back of his coat. He wields a Claymore.

30. #30Character — Adventurer

    Keys: Benny's Adventure Team, Bennett

    Bennett is an adventurer and the sole permanent member of Benny's Adventure Team, raised by the Adventurers' Guild in Mondstadt after being found as an infant in the Mare Jivari by an elderly guild member. Everyone else who has ever joined the team left after experiencing the extraordinary bad luck that follows Bennett as a consistent environmental condition — dislocated joints, monster attacks, collapsed terrain, and misfortune of a variety and persistence that Barbara has remarked on with genuine surprise despite her routine exposure to injuries. The guild keeps the team officially active to spare his feelings, a kindness he is not aware of. Varka, who has observed his combat style, finds his complete disregard for his own safety fascinating rather than alarming. Fischl's raven Oz has complimented his robust nature.

    Despite a lifetime of misfortune on a scale that most people would find cosmically discouraging, Bennett remains relentlessly optimistic, inventive, and kind. When he received his Pyro Vision in the middle of a near-death situation on an expedition, he took it as evidence that the gods — like his guild "dads" — had not given up on him. He treats his bad luck as a stepping stone on the way to becoming a grand adventurer, because he knows in his heart that this is the right attitude, and he has not yet found a reason strong enough to convince him otherwise.

    Bennett has pale ash-gray hair, green eyes, and tan skin, with a bandage on his nose and a scar on his left shoulder. He wears a sleeveless cream-colored jacket with blue and gold details over a dark undershirt, cuffed navy shorts, and a leather belt. A small bag hangs from the belt with his Pyro Vision attached to it. He wears fingerless gloves, a yellow bandanna tied around his right arm, and brown goggles pushed up on his head. He wields a Sword.

31. #31Character — Guild investigator

    Keys: Oz, Fischl, Prinzessin der Verurteilung, Amy

    Fischl von Luftschloss Narfidort is an archer and investigator for the Adventurers' Guild who operates under the persona of the Prinzessin der Verurteilung — a princess from another world, speaking in a formal archaic manner that her companion Oz, the night raven, translates for anyone who needs it. Her theories, which are elaborate and outlandish, have a documented tendency to prove correct. Her investigative work is skilled and hardworking regardless of the theatrical framing around it. Beneath the persona is Fischl — a kind, bashful, and privately insecure young woman who found it easier to be confident and articulate as "the Prinzessin" than as herself, a habit rooted in a childhood obsession with fantasy stories that became her primary way of navigating a world she found difficult without it. She has few friends but values those who accept both sides of her without mockery.

    Fischl has pale sea-green eyes and long, dark purple hair in twintails with gold compass rose ornaments. Her black and purple gothic dress is adorned with a bat-wing ribbon that holds her Electro Vision, along with several bronze-bordered purple gems at collar, neck, leg garter, and boots that glow in unison with her Vision when her Burst is ready. She wields a Bow.

32. #32Faction — Religious institution

    Keys: Church of Favonius, Favonius Cathedral

    The Church of Favonius is Mondstadt's religious institution, dedicated to the worship of the Anemo Archon Barbatos. It operates from and manages the Favonius Cathedral at the city's upper tier — a building that was once a palatial estate from which the old aristocracy displayed their wealth and authority before being rededicated to its current purpose after Vennessa's rebellion. The Cathedral also holds, in a basement accessible only under specific circumstances, the Holy Lyre der Himmel — an instrument of sacred significance whose storage requires the Seneschal's authorization to access. The Church is managed in parallel with the Knights of Favonius under an arrangement that keeps the two institutions separate in function but cooperative in practice. Its current leader is Seneschal Seamus Pegg, the Cardinal of Daybreak.

33. #33Character — Church Deaconselective

    Keys: Dahlia · Secondary: Barbatos, Rosaria, Venti, Deacon, Church, Favonius, Barbara

    Dahlia is a Deacon and choir cantor of the Church of Favonius and the Herald of the Anemo Archon — one of the very few people in Mondstadt who knows Venti's true identity as Barbatos, alongside Diluc, Jean, and Grand Master Varka. He functions as a liaison: informing Barbatos of national events and relaying the Archon's guidance back to the city. The two have a friendly, informal dynamic; they drink together with some regularity, and Dahlia is not above teasing Venti about his drunken commentary. Outside his theological role, Dahlia is privately and chronically bored by the routine of church duties, and has developed a habit of seeking out drama to resolve — or, when none presents itself naturally, quietly engineering situations that will require his intervention. He is mischievous but well-meaning, takes his responsibilities to Mondstadt seriously despite complaining about them, and enjoys spicy food while finding plain meals actively depressing.

    Dahlia has fair skin, tousled dusty rose-pink hair, and violet eyes. His ornate outfit combines black, white, and burgundy with gold patterning: a high collar, fitted shorts, and mid-calf boots. A Hydro Vision is affixed to his back on an accessory styled with ornamental bat wings. He wields a Sword.

34. #34Character — Deaconess

    Keys: Deaconess, Barbara Pegg, Barbara, Shining Idol

    Barbara Pegg is the Deaconess of the Church of Favonius and Mondstadt's beloved idol — a concept she learned from the adventurer Alice and adapted into a practice of using her public charisma and visible optimism to lift the city's spirits in ways that ordinary church services don't reach. She is the younger sister of Acting Grand Master Jean, the daughter of Seamus Pegg, and someone who has spent most of her life trying to achieve something that exceeds the shadow cast by her accomplished family rather than simply existing within it. She is adored by the city and privately anxious about whether that adoration constitutes anything real beyond affection for her presentation. She is clumsy in ways that contrast oddly with her stage presence and genuinely kind in ways that do not. Unbeknownst to her, she has met the god she worships as a deaconess — Barbatos came to her in his Venti persona and never revealed himself.

    Barbara has ash-blonde hair in spiral pigtails, gray-blue eyes, and fair skin. She wears a white frock with blue-and-white bow, light tights, and ankle boots. She wields a Catalyst, with her Hydro Vision attached to the gilded spellbook she carries everywhere.

35. #35Character — Church nun/guardian

    Keys: Rosaria, Thorny Benevolence

    Rosaria is a nun of the Church of Favonius in name and habit only — she skips services, speaks bluntly without warmth, treats social niceties as a waste of time, and operates in secret as one of Mondstadt's more effective guardians against threats that require someone who grew up among bandits to handle. She is not devout. She simply found that the Church provided cover for what she was already doing, and has stayed. She handles Mondstadt's quieter dangers with a preference for working alone and a tolerance level for being lectured about her attendance at zero. Those who manage to push past her sharp exterior occasionally find dry, biting humor underneath, which is as close to warmth as she tends to get in most interactions. She carries a Cryo Vision and wields a Polearm.

    Rosaria has pale skin, magenta eyes, and wine-red hair. She wears a modified nun's habit with a distinctive coif, a slit skirt, fishnet tights, and numerous silver accessories. Her Cryo Vision hangs at her waist. She wields a Polearm.

36. #36Event — Mondstadt spring festival

    Keys: Windblume Festival

    The Windblume Festival is Mondstadt's celebration of love and friendship, held in spring. Its centerpiece is the Windblume itself — a flower that was used as a symbol of freedom and resistance during Decarabian's era, passed between people as a declaration of solidarity during the years when the storm wall kept the people sealed inside. Over the centuries, the specific identity of the Windblume has been lost, and which of Mondstadt's flowers is the "real" one has become one of the festival's most popular debates — the discussion is considered part of the celebration rather than a problem to be resolved.

37. #37Event — Summer games festival

    Keys: Ludi Harpastum

    Ludi Harpastum is Mondstadt's fifteen-day summer festival, commemorating the time Barbatos taught his people to brew wine and live freely. The festival fills the city with food, games, and music. Its ceremonial conclusion involves the champion of the games choosing a maiden who throws the Harpastum — a ball wrapped in red cloth — into the crowd. Catching it is considered to guarantee good fortune for the coming year.

38. #38Event — Harvest festival

    Keys: Weinlesefest

    Weinlesefest is Mondstadt's harvest festival, centered on the production of new wine and the ritual invitation extended to the Anemo Archon to share in the year's vintage. If Barbatos is satisfied with the wine — and by most accounts, Venti finds annual wine of nearly any quality satisfactory — the festival is considered a success. The tradition predates Mondstadt's current form and connects the city's wine culture directly to its religious practice.

39. #39Character — Astrologist

    Keys: Mona Megistus, Mona, Astrologist Mona

    Mona Megistus is a highly skilled astrologist who left Sumeru Akademiya after accidentally reading her master Barbeloth's private diary, settled in Mondstadt, and has been living in a state of deliberate financial austerity ever since — refusing to use astrology for profit as a matter of principle, spending all her Mora on research materials, and occupying a rented laboratory that belongs to the Goth family at what Mona describes as a thankfully affordable rate. She combines astrology with hydromancy to perceive truths, discern fates, and deduce character. She is deeply knowledgeable, stubbornly refuses to acknowledge her own shortcomings, and tolerates no disrespect toward her craft. Her poverty is self-imposed and chronic, and she has not found a way to reconcile her principles with her spending habits that does not involve simply being poor. She wields a Catalyst and holds a Hydro Vision.

    Mona has pale sea-green eyes and long, dark purple hair in twintails with gold compass rose ornaments. She wears a blue-purple witch hat, a low-cut leotard, a short cloak with her Hydro Vision, and golden high-heeled shoes. She wields a Catalyst.

40. #40Character — Child witch hunter from Nod-Krai

    Keys: Prune

    Prune is a self-proclaimed Witch Hunter who traveled from Nod-Krai to Mondstadt after Alice allegedly "kidnapped" her imaginary friend Descartes — a claim she pursues with total seriousness. In Mondstadt she meets Klee, Alice's daughter, and distributes posters antagonizing Alice throughout the city, which the residents receive with a fondness bordering on amusement rather than alarm. She believes Alice and the other Hexenzirkel mages are engaged in something nefarious, and she suspects Albedo specifically of not being human, finding him too "perfect" for someone of his alleged background. Despite her age and appearance, Prune is surprisingly mature and intelligent — a consequence of being confined to her home in Nasha Town during childhood with only books for company. She regards Mondstadt's general population with mild disdain, which does not prevent her from being effective. She carries an Anemo Vision and wields a Catalyst alongside her large hammer, the Banehunter Oathhammer.

    Prune has pale skin, purple eyes with star-shaped pupils, and short indigo hair. Her outfit is a dark, black-and-purple scheme with heavy boots and gloves. She is rarely without the Banehunter Oathhammer.

41. #41Character — Fifth Company Vice Captain

    Keys: Lohen, Fifth Company

    Lohen is the Vice Captain of the Knights of Favonius Fifth Company, a fighter who lives for combat in the uncomplicated sense — not for glory or honor, but for the pleasure of testing his abilities against difficult opponents. He is a dedicated field operative, eager to engage monsters and attentive to helping colleagues like Mika get the sightlines they need for survey work. Grand Master Varka has mentioned that Lohen is tougher than even himself, and Mika describes a specific quality of leadership Lohen carries — a charisma that makes his companions follow his brave and occasionally reckless tactics without hesitation. He has high pain tolerance, studies everything in his environment carefully, and can detect when someone is lying from a direct look. His private motivation, revealed on closer acquaintance, is straightforward: he wants to be stronger so he can protect others, which is perhaps a simpler story than his battlefield persona suggests.

    Lohen has pale skin, short fluffy steel gray hair, and dull red eyes with a greenish outer ring. A small beauty mark sits below his right eye. He wears an elegant, practical Knights of Favonius-inspired uniform in blue and white with a flowing cape and boots. He holds a Cryo Vision and wields a Polearm.

42. #42Character — Church Seneschal

    Keys: Seamus Pegg, Seamus, Cardinal of Daybreak, Seneschal

    Seamus Pegg, the Cardinal of Daybreak, is the Seneschal of the Church of Favonius and one of Mondstadt's most influential figures — the father of Jean and Barbara, the ex-husband of Frederica Gunnhildr, and a former renowned adventurer whose arrival in Mondstadt was, by his own later admission, engineered through a small deception. He met Varka while wandering and became intrigued by his stories of Mondstadt, particularly those involving Frederica Gunnhildr. He convinced Varka to return home under the pretense of needing an escort, then followed and joined the Church, rising rapidly to its highest position. He married Frederica and had two daughters with her. When the marriage ended, Jean went with Frederica and Barbara stayed with Seamus, whom he raised with warmth and active encouragement — it was his quiet support that guided Barbara toward becoming a healer. He accompanied Varka's northern expedition as its tactician and administrator, handling all the organizational work Varka characteristically declined to touch, then departed early for what others describe only as private matters, likely connected to Frederica's reassignment to Dornman Port. He has since returned to the Cathedral and resumed his duties. His authorization is required to access the Holy Lyre der Himmel.

    Seamus has long blond hair and eyes that appear perpetually closed in a composed, serene expression. He wears an ornate crimson and white clerical robe with gold trim, large black fur-lined cuffs, a white alb, and a mitre-style hat with a fleur-de-lis emblem. He wears round gold-rimmed glasses. He carries no Vision and wields no weapon.

43. #43Character — Jean's mother, Knights Captain

    Keys: Frederica Gunnhildr, Frederica, Alder Knight

    Frederica Gunnhildr, the Alder Knight, is a Captain of the Knights of Favonius, a proud member of Mondstadt's oldest knightly family, the ex-wife of Seamus Pegg, and the mother of Jean. Varka once described the young Frederica as someone who never had a good word for anyone — a description whose accuracy she has, over decades of service, partially disproven through the people she has chosen and the way she has trained them. She raised Jean alone after their marriage ended, under a strict regimen appropriate to a Gunnhildr heir: few frivolities, high expectations, and birthdays spent at Windrise rather than parties. At some point she told Jean that she doesn't have to be perfect all the time and is allowed to make mistakes — words Jean has clearly not fully believed, but which Frederica clearly meant. Jean's disciplined daily schedule traces back to the training program Frederica put together for her ten years prior. She served as second-in-command of Varka's northern expedition before being recalled to Dornman Port with a small contingent for a classified mission. Her precise current whereabouts are known only to Jean.

    Frederica has long blonde hair and clear blue eyes — the family resemblance to Jean is immediately apparent. She wears a Captain's combat armor of the Knights of Favonius in blue, white, and gold. Her Cryo Vision is worn on her armor. She wields a Sword.

44. #44Character — Diluc's deceased father

    Keys: Crepus Ragnvindr, Crepus, Master Crepus

    Crepus Ragnvindr, Master Crepus, was the head of the Dawn Winery before his death, a descendant of the legendary Dawn Knight Ragnvindr, and one of Mondstadt's most respected nobles — a man who dreamed in his youth of joining the Knights but did not qualify, and spent his life protecting Mondstadt in his own way instead. He adopted Kaeya as a child and raised both boys with evident devotion. As a young man, Crepus Ragnvindr senior was described by Varka as "the pride of the Knights." At some point Crepus obtained a Delusion, likely through Fatui channels. He originally intended it as a birthday gift for Diluc, but when Diluc received his Vision instead, Crepus held onto it. On the night of Diluc's eighteenth birthday, returning from Angel's Share to the Winery, their caravan was attacked by an imitation of Ursa the Drake — an assault engineered by Inspector Eroch in collusion with the Fatui. Even Diluc could not damage it. Crepus used the Delusion to drive it off and protect his son. The Delusion's power backfired and left him mortally wounded. He died that night. In the manga the Delusion's energy consumes his body entirely; in Kaeya's account, Diluc ended his father's suffering himself. Which account is accurate has never been confirmed. The Knights' subsequent cover-up, ordered by Eroch, destroyed Diluc's faith in the institution.

    Crepus bore a strong resemblance to Diluc — the same long red hair, distinguished by a square-cut red beard. In his manga appearance he wore a black coat, black gloves, a white chef-style coat, and a red tie.

45. #45Liyue

    Keys: Liyue Qixing, Geo Nation, Land of Contracts, Liyue

    Liyue is one of the seven nations of Teyvat, situated along the continent's eastern coast and defined above all else by the principle of the contract. Its god, Rex Lapis — the Geo Archon, the Lord of Geo, the Prime of Adepti — governed the region for over six thousand years, and the civilization that grew under his watch reflects his nature: precise, enduring, and bound by obligation. Liyue Harbor stands as the economic heart of the continent. Merchants from every corner of Teyvat navigate its port, drawn by the reliability of trade conducted under frameworks of law that have not changed in millennia. The currency of Teyvat itself — Mora — originates from Liyue, minted through Rex Lapis's Gnosis at the Golden House, meaning that the commercial lifeblood of the entire world once flowed from a single source: the will of Liyue's god. The land is divided between the great mercantile harbor, the adepti-held mountains of the interior, and ancient ruins that predate even the Archon War. The nation's name in local tongue speaks to this layered identity — a place where cloud and stone meet, where the living trade beside the memorials of the dead, and where the terms of every contract are expected to be honored without exception. Rex Lapis no longer governs. The responsibility of governance passed to the Liyue Qixing following the Rite of Parting. What did not pass was the culture he shaped: a people who settle disputes with written terms, who greet uncertainty with deliberation, and who understand that a promise, once given, constitutes a kind of law.

46. #46Bishui Plain

    Keys: Wuwang Hill, Qingce Village, Stone Gate, Bishui Plain, Dihua Marsh, Sal Terrae

    The Bishui Plain occupies the northern interior of Liyue, fed and shaped by the Bishui River as it winds southward through the region. It is a land of contrasts: fertile river deltas beside marshland, quiet village life in the shadow of mountains touched by adeptal history. Dihua Marsh spreads across the alluvial lowlands south of Stone Gate and north of Wangshu Inn, a flat expanse carved out by centuries of the Bishui's flow. A Statue of the Seven marks the northern road through it, the stone figure of Rex Lapis watching over ground that floods seasonally and never quite dries. Qingce Village sits at the base of Mt. Qingce, terraced fields climbing the slopes behind it, its population largely elderly and its pace entirely removed from the urgency of Liyue Harbor. A community center, mill, tea house, carpenter's shop, and modest market make up its whole economy; it is a place for people to finish their lives in quiet. Sal Terrae is the last remnant of what Havria, the God of Salt, built during the Archon War. She was too gentle for that age, and in the end her own people ended her. What remains of her sanctuary at Sal Terrae is ruins and silence. Stone Gate commands a crossroads connecting Mondstadt to the west, Wuwang Hill, Qingce Village, Dihua Marsh, and the road south to Liyue Harbor. Its strategic value is self-evident; its history is less discussed. Wangshu Inn rises on a stone pillar above Dihua Marsh, built tall enough to serve as a lookout over the entire plain. Its operation as a trading post for traveling merchants is accurate but incomplete — the inn's management answers directly to the Liyue Qixing and its true purpose is the covert support of the adeptus Xiao. Wuwang Hill lies perpetually under dark skies, its atmosphere consistently described by those who pass through as wrong.

47. #47Lisha

    Keys: Dunyu Ruins, Qingxu Pool, Lingju Pass, Lisha

    Lisha is a subregion in the central interior of Liyue, characterized by old ruins and terrain that remembers things the people above it have long since forgotten. Dunyu Ruins is one of three sites in Liyue where the artifacts known as Nameless Treasures can be recovered — relics from civilizations that no current record names with any completeness. Lingju Pass is a stretch of ruined structures embedded with mechanisms and puzzles; whatever people built it here did not intend the space to be easily entered. Qingxu Pool occupies a basin where the ruins at its center are said to have belonged to an evil god. The site was submerged until the end of the Archon War, when the waters receded with the death of whatever power had kept them there. The ruins that surfaced were old even before the flood. Nothing living lingers in the pool by choice.

48. #48Minlin

    Keys: Mt. Aocang, Jueyun Karst, Minlin, Cuijue Slope, Huaguang Stone Forest, Nantianmen, Tianqiu Valley, Mt. Hulao, Qingyun Peak

    Minlin lies in the mountain heart of Liyue, sacred ground where the adepti withdrew after the Archon War and where most mortals do not go — not for lack of a path, but for understanding of what they would be intruding upon. Cuijue Slope holds the Nine Pillars at its center, arranged around a temple whose purpose is no longer practiced openly. When a person stands within the ring of pillars, the sky darkens without explanation. Jueyun Karst is the home the adepti chose for their seclusion. It is not forbidden by law; it is avoided by instinct. Those who seek the adepti here are described as either brave or desperate, and the two categories overlap more often than not. Huaguang Stone Forest stands between three mountains — Mt. Aocang to the north, Qingyun Peak to the east, and Mt. Hulao to the southwest — and is named for the quality of light that moves through its stone formations at certain hours. Mt. Aocang is the domain of the adeptus Cloud Retainer, a scholar of mechanisms and a keeper of old obligations. Mt. Hulao's lower slopes are marked by amber formations — the residue of flowers planted by the adeptus Mountain Shaper as a barrier against intruders. Nantianmen is known above all for a single tree: the Dragon-Queller, beneath which the ancient dragon Azhdaha was sealed by Rex Lapis after erosion destroyed the dragon's capacity for reason. The roots of the tree run into the ley lines; Azhdaha, even sealed, draws power from them. Qingyun Peak is the domain of the adeptus Moon Carver. Above it drifts the Dwelling in the Clouds, a small floating island that Cloud Retainer constructed at an unknown point for purposes she has not publicly explained. Tianqiu Valley occupies the southeastern edge of Minlin.

49. #49Adeptus

    Keys: Adeptus, Adepti

    The adepti — singular, adeptus — are a class of powerful non-human beings who have, through contract with Rex Lapis, bound themselves to the protection of Liyue. The group comprises both illuminated beasts who have reached a state of extraordinary spiritual cultivation and certain gods who align themselves with Morax's covenant. Rex Lapis himself holds the title of Prime of Adepti, standing at the head of a hierarchy that has existed, in some form, longer than the nation it protects. Their formal designation in the old tongue — the Mighty and Illuminated Adepti, sometimes rendered as the Three-Eyed, Five-Manifested Illuminated Immortals — refers to the nature of their power: they do not require a Vision to wield elemental energy. That capacity is innate, cultivated through centuries or millennia of existence, manifesting from within rather than through an external grant. Some adepti wear Visions regardless, as a concession to living among mortals. Since the Archon War ended roughly three thousand seven hundred years ago, most adepti have retreated into Jueyun Karst and the high mountains, watching Liyue from a distance they consider respectful. A contract between Rex Lapis and his adepti obligates them to defend Liyue should a threat arise sufficient to require it. That contract has not expired. Their abilities include the manipulation of elemental energy at will, the generation of adeptal energy so concentrated that prolonged contact proves harmful to ordinary humans, the creation of sub-space pocket dimensions known as abodes, and various esoteric arts — dream-sending, soul separation, and in rare cases the temporary restoration of physical form after death. Each adeptus possesses a distinct adeptal energy that is as individual as a name.

50. #50Illuminated Beast

    Keys: Illuminated Beast

    An illuminated beast is a creature that has undergone extraordinary cultivation, attaining supernatural longevity, heightened combat capacity, and the ability to speak and reason in mortal tongues. Most illuminated beasts encountered in Liyue are also adepti — beings who have signed contracts with Rex Lapis and taken on the responsibility of the land's defense. Full-blooded illuminated beasts can assume human forms at will and are capable of producing offspring with mortal humans. Children born of such pairings are half-blooded: they appear predominantly human but carry physical traits that betray their heritage — horn, scale, tail, or eye — and seem unable to shift between forms the way their fully illuminated parent can. The distinction between illuminated beast and adeptus is one of identity rather than nature; not every illuminated beast is an adeptus, and the covenant with Rex Lapis represents a chosen obligation rather than an inherent condition of what they are.
