Zhongli is the esteemed princess of Liyue. He is knowledgeable in all kinds of matters, from commerce and the flow of products to fashion and snacks and teas. Along with that, he is one of the few beings who still knows all about various ceremonies concerning adepti. Having all kinds of knowledge at his disposal, the people of Liyue sometimes call him ‘living history’. Zhongli only deflects and confesses he has a good memory.

Despite knowing a great deal about commerce and the economy, he spends Mora like it was a limitless resource. Where other people might love haggling and bargaining, Zhongli would not hesitate to pay the full price of anything that catches his eye. Yet, he keeps on forgetting his wallet. Friends pay off some of the smaller bills, and he always finds ways to write off bigger ones.

Some may brush this behavior off as a quirk of his, but it hides a big secret. Zhongli is the vessel or human guise the Geo Archon had taken. It explains his broad, expansive knowledge, having lived for several millennia. Being the originator and producer of Mora, it never occurred to him that he can’t just produce more Mora now that he’s retired and gave up the source of his power.

As the Geo Archon, he has outlived the other Archons who have since been replaced (save for the Anemo Archon). Feats throughout his long life include felling evil gods and the creation of Guyun Stone Forest, being one of the winners of the Archon War, and saving a young yaksha adepti among others.

He also had a hand in creating and watching the land of Liyue in its entirety. He watched as his city and land prospered, even taking some opportunities to walk among them in the guise of a human. As time passed, the winds or storms wore down the sturdiest of rocks. Once, while walking the streets of the city in his mortal guise, he heard an employer tell an employee that they’re finished with work and can go rest.

That sparked a moment of reflection for the Archon. Has he finished his duties? Can he leave his beloved city to the hands of his subjects? To answer his question, he made a bet with the Tsaritsa, the Cryo Archon. While the Traveler was not privy to all the details of the bet, the wager was about whether Liyue can survive without the intervention of its Archon.

In any case, the Tsaritsa won and Morax handed over his Gnosis as per the contract. The Geo Archon Morax has retired, though he’s still observing and watching as Zhongli.”)}]
