   BASE Zapolyarny Palace, Snezhnaya

   The Fatui are a delegation of diplomats from the Zapolyarny Palace of Snezhnaya. There is also a military detachment led by the Eleven Fatui Harbingers and the Tsaritsa herself. They are one of the two main antagonistic factions alongside the Abyss Order in Genshin Impact and the main antagonists in the official supplementary manga.

   A singular member of the Fatui is called a Fatuus.

   Description

   The Fatui are a powerful military force in terms of power and numbers, making it the strongest of all the seven nations. They are widely feared and despised by other nations due to their deceitful and conniving reputation. The organization is composed of members performing a variety of roles, including combatants, bureaucrats, politicians, and merchants.

   Hailing from the frozen lands of Snezhnaya, the Fatui are publicly seen as a political department of the nation that represents the goodwill of the Tsaritsa and manages foreign affairs with all six other nations. However, despite how they initially present themselves, the citizens and governments of those nations are often already aware of their true colors, and treat both their diplomats and individual members of the organization with distrust.

   They often use underhanded methods to establish their power and influence in another nation, and as a whole are willing to go to extremes to further the Tsaritsa's vision for a "perfect world." Deception, extortion,[1] and human experimentation are but some of the tactics they employ to bolster their own strength.

   Despite their loyalty to their empress, most of the Fatui grunts themselves are unaware of the Tsaritsa's true plans. The Harbingers are likely some of the few among the ranks who are truly aware of the Tsaritsa's true intentions, as they are the ones assisting her in collecting Gnoses.

   The Fatui are divided into divisions, each of which is headed by one of the Eleven Fatui Harbingers. Each Harbinger operates with a different modus operandi which also influences how their underlings act.[2] There is often a lack of thorough communication between fellow Harbingers,[3][4] Harbingers and their subordinates, as well as between different divisions of Fatui operatives.[5] However, some members of the Fatui are quite loyal to their leading Harbinger, to the point of being willing to seek revenge for their sake.[6]

   The Fatui come from a variety of backgrounds: some were taken in at the House of the Hearth orphanage,[7][8] others choose to join their ranks, while others, like Childe, were drafted. They also do not hesitate to help financially and diplomatically strategic allies in order to interfere in foreign policy.[9]

   They receive certain advantages in exchange for their services, such as supplies, salaries, or powerful weapons;[10] in exchange for this, however, they choose neither the destination to which they are sent, nor the superiors to whom they obey.[11]

   Many of the Fatui NPCs in the game are everyday workers who are oblivious to their superiors' true intentions, but are nevertheless very loyal to the Tsaritsa and Snezhnaya. Members have differing opinions on being stationed in other nations, ranging from intense homesickness[12] to having developed fondness for their new home.[13]

   MAIN CITY Snezhnograd

   CONTROL­LING EN­TI­TY Snezhnograd Veche

   CELE­BRAT­ED FES­TI­VALS Krsnik Noc

   Culture Snezhnaya seems to be inspired by a mix of Tsarist and Soviet Russia (primarily Siberia in regards to landscape), and often uses Russian words for names. However, it also draws from other European nations as well, such as using Italian commedia dell'arte stock characters' names for the Harbingers. Snezhnaya's affiliation with brutal winters parallels Russia's climate, which has famously contributed to the failures of the many military campaigns made against it. Tartaglia addresses the Traveler as "comrade" in his voice-overs, the usual translation of "tovarishch" (Russian: товарищ tovarishch) used in Soviet/Bolshevik Russia. In the Japanese version of Childe's Character Miscellany, he starts off his letter ("Dearest sister...") in Russian.[12] Fire-Water (Russian: огненная вода ognennaya voda, "fiery water"), which Angel's Share bartender Charles deems the strongest wine he knows of, originates from Snezhnaya. It is a reference to the liquor vodka, a drink commonly associated with Russia. In real life, Russian Vodka is normally 45-55% Ethanol, and some Vodkas are more than 80% Ethanol, making Vodka one of the most alcoholic drinks in the world.

   Camaraderie, cooperation and straightforwardness generally appear to be valued in Snezhnaya. The Adventurers' Guild, a mutual help organization for adventurers, was established in Snezhnaya,[2] while the Archive descriptions for Fatui Skirmishers remark that despite leaving their families to enter a dangerous profession, they have "gained allies to stick through thick and thin with". Tartaglia states that while Fire-Water is loved by most, those who drink it and chat together out in the cold gain the other's complete trust.[3] Drinking an entire glass of Fire-Water in one go is the norm and considered to be very respectful.[4][5]

   Snezhnayans also display remarkable devotion to their Archon, the Tsaritsa. Those who have been dispatched overseas and grown fond of their new country state that no matter the circumstances, they would never betray her.

   Trivia

   Mondstadt considers the Dandelion, Flight and Wine to be its trademarks, being the very few things that it learned from the Anemo Archon. Roses in Mondstadt, instead of love, represent the saying "As wine bottles are corked, so too are my lips sealed." It encourages people to keep one another's secrets. Citizens and people in Liyue often mock Mondstadt for being a city without rule with their god abandoned, showcasing the contrast between how others view freedom versus constitution. They are also unaware of the reasons as to why the Anemo Archon decided not to rule over Mondstadt, which may hint that every other region shares the same outlook. Mondstadt is the only region whose capital lack background NPCs. The Luna VI update, that introduces the Windrest Peak region, do feature background NPCs within said region but are still absent in the City of Mondstadt itself.

   Culture

   Mondstadt is primarily based on Germany and the many other Germanic countries, it also draws minor inspirations from non-Germanic West European cultures. Culture-wise and landscape-wise Mondstadt closely resembles Germany's Rhineland-Palatinate state. Wine culture has dominated this region for 2000 years. Annual Weinlesefests are held there just as they are in Mondstadt. Historic villages and towns are built like Mondstadt in a half-timbered architecture style with gothic churches and cathedrals. The Rhineland's landscape is lush and green, rolling hills take turns with high and steep cliffs. The steepest vineyards in the world are to be found there. Like Mondstadt, the Rhineland's landscape is dotted with the ruins of an ancient civilization, that of the Romans. Many of Mondstadt's characters have German names or titles: Klee means "clover" in German. Fischl, the Prinzessin der Verurteilung means "Princess of Condemnation." Albedo, Kreideprinz means "Prince of Chalk." Diona of Kätzlein bloodline means of "Kitten" bloodline. Mika Schmidt's family name is the German version of "Smith." Mondstadt's annual spring festival is called Windblume, which is German for "Wind Flower." Mondstadt's annual autumn festival is called Weinlesefest, which is German for "Wine Harvesting Festival." The font of Mondstadt's written language is a broken up and mirrored version of Fraktur, a font most typical in German-speaking countries from the Middle Ages until the early 21st century. You can still see it on many signs or old houses in Germany. However, the language itself is English, likely for easier international understanding. The most important statue of Barbatos stands at Windrise under a massive oak tree. The oak is the national tree of Germany, thus oak leaves are a prominent symbol on most German military orders and currency. The de facto ruling body of Mondstadt are the Knights of Favonius which mirrors the State of the Teutonic Order, in which the Grand Master of the Order is the head of state.

   Culture Liyue is inspired by China. Liyue Harbor is said to be an economical center, similar to many port cities in China. Morax, the founder of Liyue, quotes some proverbs from the Analects of Confucius in a (non-canon) official blog post.[8] Divine Body from Guyun says a variety of different ideals were born and died during the Archon War, where Liyue survived the war. It may be a reference to the Hundred Schools of Thought during the Warring States period of Ancient China, where the Confucian philosophy of "Liyue" (Rites and Music) survived the war in academia.

   CELE­BRAT­ED FES­TI­VALS Irodori Festival Mikawa Flower Festival

   Culture Inazuma is inspired by Japan. Much like real-life Japan, Inazuma is currently only reachable by the sea around the islands. The Sakoku Decree of Inazuma and collection of Visions parallels the real-life sakoku policy under the Japanese Tokugawa shogunate. The Inazuma Shogunate, the ruling body of the country, is a direct reference to the same government used under the Japanese shogunate. The Inazuman Emblem consists of traditional Japanese elements. At the center of the emblem lies a torii, the sacred gate of a Shinto shrine. Inside the torii gate, there is an Electro symbol, based on a mitsudomoe. Raijin, God of Thunder, often carries drums with mitsudomoe symbols. The rounded rectangles seen at the both sides of the torii are called suyari-gasumi and represent clouds, fog, or haze in traditional Japanese paintings and woodblock prints. Under the torii gate, three comma-shaped jewels are illustrated. Among these magatama beads, the most important one is Yasakani no Magatama, one of the three Imperial Regalia of Japan and the symbol of benevolence. A sakura (cherry) blossom crowns the torii gate. In Japanese culture, it usually represents the aesthetics of mono no aware (Japanese: もののあはれ "the pathos of things"), or the awareness of impermanence, ephemeral beauty, and the gentle sadness of things. But considering the in-game Inazuman ideal "eternity",[5] in this case the sakura blossom may symbolize the "endless cycle of death and rebirth".

   Trivia

   Culture As the nation that houses Sumeru Akademiya, Teyvat's largest known academic center, much of what is known about Sumeru is set in the context of the Akademiya.

   People in Sumeru value rationality and wisdom, and the fact that many adults in Sumeru do not have dreams is in fact a source of pride for them. Knowledge was originally managed as a resource through a device known as the Akasha system, which is powered by the Gnosis of the previous Dendro Archon, Greater Lord Rukkhadevata.[1] The people of Sumeru frequently used to use their Akasha Terminals to find information, and essentially every adult had one; children do not. After the suspension of the Akasha System, the people of Sumeru were now able to dream once more.

   Sumeru is inspired by South Asian, Central Asian, Middle Eastern and North African cultures. Zoroastrianism and the Avestan language are prominently featured in relation to Sumeru Akademiya, particularly in its titles for students and researchers and the names of its six main schools, the Six Darshans, which are each named after one of the Amesha Spenta. Lesser Lord Kusanali, the current Dendro Archon, is described as the provider of "Anahitian Blessing." In Zoroastrianism, Anahita (Anāhīd/Nahid) was a goddess of "the Waters" and subsequently associated with fertility, healing, and wisdom.[10] Concepts from Dharmic religions, particularly Hinduism and Buddhism, are prominently featured in Sumeru quests; in the names of locations, plants, and items indigenous to Dharma Forest; and in the lore of various locations in Dharma Forest.

   Culture

   Given the nation's technology, its emphasis on "true beauty and elegance," and the attire of its NPCs (e.g. Caspar), Fontaine may be partially inspired by the Belle Époque, a period of French history in the late 19th century characterized by technological advancement and artistic flourishing. Some of Fontaine's cultural elements seem to take inspiration from other cultures in and around France, such as Basque, Corsican, Iberian , Italian, Greek, English cultures and Western Europe as a general. Visually, Fontaine is inspired by the Baroque and Art Deco styles, while its geography is in part based on that of the French Alps.[10] Fontaine's theme as heard in the Teyvat Chapter Storyline Preview: Travail seems to be based on "Aquarium," the seventh movement of The Carnival of the Animals, a musical suite by the French Romantic composer Camille Saint-Saëns.

It also draws from cultures of Southeast Asia, modern Latin America, and modern North America (particularly African-American culture). The names of Natlan's tribes derive from the Thirteen Heavens of Nahua cosmology. The names of Tenoch's fighting companions, as mentioned in the Talking Stick lore, are of Kenyan, Ethiopian, Amazigh, Burkinese, Malian and Inca origin, respectively. The names of characters from Ignition Teaser: A Name Forged in Flames also come from the languages and cultures of Hopi (Pueblo), Yucatec (Maya), Hawaiian, Yoruba, Nahua, and Māori.
