SAGAU Sumeru Characters

Setting: Sumeru is one of the seven regions of Teyvat. It is the nation that worships Lesser Lord Kusanali, the Dendro Archon and God of Wisdom. It is renowned as Teyvat's center of learning for housing the Sumeru Akademiya.

Sumeru's landscape features both deserts and forests. During the cataclysm 500 years ago, the previous Dendro Archon and God of Wisdom, Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, was slain and Lesser Lord Kusanali took her place. Under the aegis of the God of Wisdom, the sages of Sumeru drive themselves into hysterics and abandon all that is worldly in their pursuit of esoteric wisdom.

The Eremites are a faction of mercenaries from Sumeru who travel throughout Teyvat. They see themselves as people who are not "afraid of dying so that they might truly live." Nazafarin, a scholar from Sumeru, claims that some of its members wield "bizarre yet formidable powers," and finds the subject of the Eremite unpleasant enough to swiftly drop.

Sumeru's Statue of The Seven depicts a childlike female figure who wears a similar cloak and draping clothing to that of the other known Archon statues. Her small frame is also shown sitting on a huge leaf, an attribute owing to her mantle as the Dendro Archon.

Some major areas in the nation of Sumeru are Dharma Forest, Great Red Sand, and Girdle of the Sands.

Sumeru City is a main city located in Avidya Forest, Dharma Forest, Sumeru. Sumeru City is known across Teyvat as the "City of Wisdom." It is under the jurisdiction of the Sumeru Akademiya and is built on top of the Divine Tree.

The city features many districts and points of interest, such as the Grand Bazaar, Zubayr Theater, Treasures Street, and more. Located in the middle to top half of the tree is The Akademiya, which serves as the main base of the Sumeru Akademiya. On top of The Akademiya rests the Sanctuary of Surasthana, which is a treetop palace where Lesser Lord Kusanali resides.

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. 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.

While humans are predominant, there are also a few humanoid races living in Sumeru; the only known group so far is Tighnari's kind, known as the Valuka Shuna, who are considered to be a rare sight. The Jinni, a race of spirits from the desert oases, and the Aranara, a race of forest spirits, also live in Sumeru. The Pari, a race of avian flower-like spirits, dwell in the Girdle of the Sands.

Sumeru has both forest and desert. Originally the entire nation was forest, but after the dropping of a Divine Nail, a large amount of the land was terraformed into desert. The desert is said to be a harsh place, an endless expanse of sand, scorching sun and sandstorms. It is filled with ruins from both Khaenri'ah and King Deshret's time. Like Khaenri'ah, King Deshret's civilization was highly advanced for its time, as they had the capability to create Primal Constructs, along with colossal structures such as The Mausoleum of King Deshret and the irrigation system in the present-day Desert of Hadramaveth that are in relatively good condition even after centuries buried beneath the sands.

Sumeru cuisine generally revolves around fragrant and spicy foods. The forests and deserts of Sumeru contain many edible flowers, mushrooms, fruits and nuts, which are used in their cuisine. Common seasonings include the ubiquitous "Spice", which is said to go well with anything, and the Padisarah plant. Sweeter dishes often utilize Sumeru Rose or Ajilenakh Nut.

Knowledge is generally seen as both a measure of wealth and privileges in Sumeru, as there is a thriving black market in the nation for those who wish to acquire Knowledge Capsules, which allow the user to access the knowledge within without prior vetting.

Shaggy Sumpter Beasts are also a way to measure wealth in Sumeru, likely due to the prevalent role they play in transporting goods, particularly across harsh areas like deserts.

Port Ormos is Sumeru's main port, where foreigners from other nations come to buy and sell goods.

Other traded goods include crocodile produces, spices and essential oils for beauty products. In the Desert of Hadramaveth, Eremite tribes conduct trade with merchants who proceed to sell the goods in the city, who likewise bring them goods from there.

Setting: Taking place in the world known as Teyvat, there are seven major nations spread around the world, each with a respective God known as an Archon, and with a major element representative of the Archon. The first is Mondstadt, being the patron nation for the Archon Barbatos and his element, Anemo. The second nation is Liyue, being the patron nation for the Archon Morax and his element, Geo. The third nation is Inazuma, being the patron nation for the Archon Beelzebul and her element, Electro. The fourth nation is Sumeru, being the patron nation for the Archon Buer and her element, Dendro. The fifth nation is Fontaine, being the patron nation for the Archon Focalors and her element, Hydro, but with the self-sacrifice of Focalors, Fontaine now has no Archon and is instead presided over by the Hydro Dragon Sovereign, Neuvillette. The sixth nation is Natlan, being the patron nation for the Archon Haborym and her element, Pyro. The seventh nation is Snezhnaya, being the patron nation for the Archon known as The Tsaritsa and her element, Cryo. These major nation Archons are known as The Seven.

A Gnosis, plural Gnoses, is an item used by The Seven to directly resonate with Celestia, and is proof of an Archon's status as one of The Seven. They take on the appearance of a chess piece. It is implied that the Gnoses were rewarded to the gods who emerged victorious from the Archon War.

Visions are jeweled amulets which allow their users to directly channel the power of one of the seven Elements. They are bestowed by Celestia and the Seven Archons to allogenes, people of Teyvat with particularly powerful desires who have the potential to ascend to Celestia and become gods themselves. Allogenes who accomplish their goals will cause the gods to receive an "abundant" gift. On the other hand, evidence suggests that a person deprived of their Vision also loses that ambition, which may cause them to undergo a massive change in personality.

The giving and receiving of Visions was established as part of a "new order" over the world, alongside the rise of The Seven. This new order was created to suppress the world's original order in place of the Heavenly Principles's absolute authority, which it could no longer maintain after being gravely injured during the "great war of vengeance." It and another unidentified entity created the seven Gnoses out of the remains of the Third Descender, then instigated the Archon War. Once The Seven were established, they were given the stolen portions of elemental Authorities, which the Heavenly Principles took from the Seven Sovereigns when it first descended on Teyvat. The Seven were also given the duty of giving a Vision — a fragment of their power — as a "gift" to anyone whose powerful desire or ambition "stepped into the threshold of the sacred."

Vision-bearers' destinies are mapped by their constellations, and the stars which form these constellations are called Stella Fortuna. In abnormal circumstances, a person's constellation can affect the world thousands of years after their death. There are suggestions that these so-called "destinies" may be intentionally designed: the gods supposedly gain something when Vision-bearers successfully fulfill their goals, while statements by certain Fatui Harbingers claim that "the skies of Teyvat are fake" and that "the stars are a lie." Similarly, the Narzissenkreuz Ordo believed that obtaining a Vision is to "sell oneself to the 'fate' of this world — to Heimarmene."

While a Vision allows its user to harness its respective element, it does not grant instant mastery over elemental energy, and using elemental energy takes practice. As a result, there is a great variety in the ways people express their elemental powers, as well as a wide gulf in combat ability. Vision-bearers can channel elemental energy through otherwise mundane objects, and those with Visions have some level of elemental sensitivity and Elemental Sight, although some characters are more sensitive to the elements than others. Visions themselves can also resonate with other sources of elemental energy, which causes them to glow.

Vision holders are the only people who can withstand being within the Withering Zones of Sumeru for any significant amount of time and safely clean them up, and even then staying too long can be dangerous. For those amongst the Forest Rangers unable to manipulate the elements, an exposure time of just a few minutes will afflict them with corrosion that will get worse over time until it becomes lethal. As such, Forest Rangers without a Vision will only enter one if it is a life-or-death emergency. Vision holders are also capable of breathing underwater in the waters of Fontaine.
