Seven elements of Teyvat correspond to an Archon and their nation that worships said Archon. Anemo: Associated with Archon Barbatos, domain is Mondstadt. It is the power of wind. Geo: Associated with Archon Morax, domain is Liyue. It is the power of earth, symbolizing rocks, crystals and minerals. Electro: Associated with Archon Beelzebul, domain is Inazuma. It is the power of electricity. Dendro: Associated with Archon Buer, domain is Sumeru. It is the power of nature. Hydro: Associated with Archon Focalors, domain was Fontaine. It is the power of water. Pyro: Associated with Archon Haborym, domain is Natlan. It is the power of fire. Cryo: Associated with Archon Tsaritsa, domain is Snezhnaya. It is the power of ice. The seven elemental Authorities are powers wielded by the Seven Sovereigns, the most power dragons of the old world before the Heavenly Principles's arrival. The Heavenly Principles stole portions of those powers, which became tied to the Divine Thrones to establish the Archon's Authorities. Phlogiston: Primordial form of energy used by the Heavenly Principles as a basis for the Elemental Energy, for the sole purpose of developing a power to counter the Abyss. Elemental energy is the modern counterpart of Phlogiston. Gnoses: Heavenly Principles and an unidentified entity created seven Gnoses out of the remains of the Third Descender, one for each element, as a substitute for the Heavenly Principles's authority after it was gravely wounded in the great war. Gnoses resonate with Celestia directly, and more powerful than visions. Each gnoses are held by their respective Archons for an undisclosed purpose, but many of them have been taken by the Fatui- leaving on the Hydro and Pyro gnoses with their owners. Visions: People in Teyvat are mysteriously granted Visions, acting as external apparatuses that allow the owner to wield the element the Vision hails from. Visions take the form of crystals, each with the symbol and color of one element. Depending on the region in which the individual received their vision, they feature ornaments characteristic of that region. Moon Wheel: Vision-like objects from Nod-Krai. Similar to Visions that allow the owners to control an element, however, instead of a regular elemental energy, they use kuuvahki- an ancient purer form. Originally created by the Heavenly Principles and the Three Moons, and given to the Moon Goddess' human followers. Masterless Vision: When a Vision wielder dies, the Vision becomes a Masterless Vision, losing its power and all indicators of its element. In special rare cases, Masterless Visions can resonate with a new person who held a similar will of the prior owner. For this reason, Masterless Visions are highly sought by the extremely rich.

The Seven Archons: Shortened to The Seven, are seven gods who preside over seven regions of Teyvat. They were established after they or their predecessors emerged victorious in the Archon War 2,000 years ago. Each Archon is associated with an element and ideal, which is formed in their territory's environment. Archon War: Ended 2,000 years ago. During this period, gods and archons roamed the land in bigger struggle for supremacy. Morax became Geo Archon by the time the last of the original Seven claimed their title and brought an end to the War. The original Seven were close, sharing the common duty of guiding humanity and gathered in Liyue for drinks. Over time, five of The Seven passed away, and some newer Archons no longer adhere to the duty of guiding humanity. The Original Seven: Morax, Lesser Lord Kusanali, Raiden Makoto, Egeria, Barbatos, Xbalanque, and The Belyi Tsar The Current Seven: Barbatos, Morax, Beelzebul (Ei), Lesser Lord Kusanali (Nahida), Furina, Tsaritsa, and Mavuika The Shogun: Artificial body made by Ei, which serves as her current vessel. Decarabian: God of Storms, Lord of the Tower, god who lived 2,600 years ago and founded the nation of Mondstadt. Enclosed his city in a storm. Killed in the Archon War, where Barbatos became the first Anemo Archon. The Cataclysm: 500 years ago, the destruction of Khaenri'ah led to forbidden knowledge pollution and rampage of Rhinedottir's creations, which held the power of the Abyss and ravaged the world of Teyvat. The Seven were summoned to Tunigi Hollow, where the forbidden knowledge was pouring out the most and monsters were appearing. Egeria was killed, and her body turned into a pool of water known as Amrita. To preserve the water's purity and tether the god to the mortal realm, Lesser Lord Kusanali grew the Harvisptokhm, which sealed the dark hollow and stopped the corruption from spreading. Khaenri'ah: Also known as Kingdom of Khaenri'ah or Dahri, no longer part of the continent of Teyvat. Built purely by humans without any god, and was later destroyed by gods. They used the forbidden knowledge for technological advancement and practiced the Art of Khemia. The alchemist Rhinedottir used forbidden knowledge to create powerful creatures, which proceeded to attack Khaenri'ah and spread throughout Teyvat. The gods of Celestia and six of The Seven launched an assault on Khaenri'ah as a result. The skies turned red and filled with crimson cubes, and the landmass of the kingdom was torn to pieces with lava flooding the fragments. The gods were victorious, but the Hydro Archon Egeria and Electro Archon Raiden Makoto died. Lesser Lord Kusanali was killed while purifying the surge of forbidden knowledge contaminating Irminsul, but was later 'revived' and reduced to her weaken form. The people of Khaenri'ah were all killed, with presumably no survivors.

Heavenly Principles: Known as Primordial One and Phanes, Descender and progenitor god who serves as the current ruler of Celestia and Teyvat. Creator of humankind and the Human Realm at large. Governs the world through a set of "laws" administered by the Four Shades, though the Heavenly Principles rarely intervene directly. Originally hailing from another world, they arrived in Teyvat during the era of ancient dragons. The Heavenly Principles created Four Shades of htemself, and together, took over the planet by defeating the Seven Sovereigns and stealing their Authorities. They then reshaped the world and created humans and civilization. This rein was interrupted by the return of the Dragon King Nibelung, who fought a great war of vengeance against them. The Heavenly Principles emerged victorious, but was gravely wounded, preventing them from sustaining control of the world. to compensate, they created the Gnoses, and commanded the gods of Teyvat to battle each other for the chance to govern the world in their stead, and started the Archon War. The Heavenly Principles personally intervened in the Cataclysm to stop the surge of Abyssal power emerging from Khaenri'ah, but ever since, they have remained asleep. Forbidden Knowledge: Also called apocalypse, is a form of knowledge that does not belong to Teyvat. It is a "truth" that canot be understood and is constantly rejected by the world. Has ill effects on objects and living creatures. Originates from the very bottom of the Abyss. Five Sinners of Khaenri'ah: Five individuals of great esteem in Khaenri'ah and best of their peers. They divided the power of the Abyss amongst themselves, a power "that could destroy worlds". This act caused Ronova to curse full-blooded Khaenri'ahns with immortality. When the Cataclysm occurred, none of the sinners came to defend Khaenri'ah. After the event, the Five separated- pursuing some form of perfection. Irminsul: Teyvat's world tree, a silver-white tree which grows deep underground. Connected to the Ley Lines of the world. The Dendro Archon's consciousness is directly connected to it, and is a root of Dendro power. Irminsul is the repository for all information and memories of Teyvat. Records the memories of everyone on Teyvat, EXCEPT Descenders- who have no records. Information cannot be purged from Irminsul, as that information will remove all traces from Teyvat as it originally existed- and requires the power of a god or level of a god. Even gods can be purged, but never successfully removed entirely from Irminsul. If information is removed, the consequences of their actions and existence still remain in the world, but are believed to have happened for different reasons or with different 'actors'. Ley Lines: World-spanning network of elemental energy and memories. They protect Teyvat from the corrosion of the Abyss. Record memories of the land. Descenders: People outside of the world of Teyvat. Abyss: Also known as the Void Realm. Power exists in worlds beyond Teyvat. It can corrupt entities from Teyvat under Celestia's dominion. It can poison even gods and their power. Prolonged exposure to the Abyss can drastically change a person's personality and corrupt their entire being, and will decay over time. The Abyss appears to have a mind of its own, and is drawn to those with great ambition. Kuuvahki: Pure, primordial form of elemental energy originating from the moons exclusive to Nod-Krai. Predates the Heavenly Principles' creation of Gnosis and Visions. Sets machines in motion and fortifies the creatures of the land. Can affect the weather, and has the power to attract and repel similar to magnetism. There are two main types: Red and Blue. They have opposite polarities, which causes them to repel objects of the same color and attract objects of the opposite color. Moon Marrow: Sacred relic of the Frostmoon Scions. Remains of Aria, Goddess of the Eternal Moon, coalesced from her power following her death. Takes the appearance of a miniature moon ringed with debris. Contains tremendous kuuvahki. Guili Assembly: Ancient civilization in the region Loyue established by God of Dust Guizhong and God of Geo Morax. Prosperous and flourishing civilization that possessed highly advanced engineering skills. After the Archon War, Guizhong was slain and the Guili Assembly was destroyed. Morax gathered his people and established Liyue Harbor 3,700 years ago, which remains standing to this day. Yaksha: Race of fierce illuminated beasts. To quell the lingering hatred of fallen gods from the Archon War, which causes plagues, curses, and miasmas all over Liyue, Morax called upon the Yakshas. They waged never-ending war against the monsters and manifestations of gods' hatred. However, the task stained them with karmic debt that wore at their souls and humanity. Madness and despair overwhelmed them- some turned on each other, others succumbed to darkness, others vanished. Only one yaksha remains: Alatus, who now goes by the name Xiao. Adeptus: Consists of illuminated beasts and gods. Most are bound by a contract to protect Liyue from demons and evil gods. Led by the Prime of Adepti, Rex Lapis. Illuminated Beast: Creature with supernatural abilities with heightened combat prowess, extreme longevity, ability to speak human language, and transform into humans. Adeptal arts are taught to them by Morax as part of their "illumination".

Snowland Fae: Faction based in Snezhnaya and Nod-Krai. Formerly led by the first Cryo Archon, Belyi Tsar, the lord of all fae. Under Belyi Tsar's rule, the Snowland Fae ruled the Northlands. After his death, the fae lost most of their former glory, but have small influence over the nation. The fae were created by artisans of Hyperborea, an ancient civilization located far north near Snezhnaya, and was later swallowed by the deep sea. The Hyperborea used forbidden methods taught to them by Koitar, Goddess of the Dawnstar and first angel of Celestia, and ancestor of Seelie in the distant past. The snowland fae's flesh and blood was made from fallen frostmoon light, forged on bones of "giant beasts". Fae are common in Snezhnograd and other areas of Snezhnaya, apart from Nod-Krai, where there are little to none except Flins. Melusine: Amphibious, all-female species in Fontaine. "Daughters" of Elynas. Most live in Merusea Village, but many choose to live in Fontaine as it's more convenient, and return to their village on vacation. Melusines are diligent in their duties and possess a strong sense of justice. Senses of perception are stronger than humans. Melusines have very limited combat ability. They see Neuvillette as the "their ideal of the perfect father". They have long lifespans, with the first born over 400 years ago. Denizens of Merusea Village use scrap metal, called "components", as a form of currency for goods. They eat tidalga, an edible algae and phytoplankton in the shame of a round, slightly translucent blue orb with five petla-like 'fins' at the bottom. Seelie: Devolved form of Angels found throughout Teyvat. Created by the Heavenly Principles to guide humanity as Celestia's divine envoys. Cursed by their creator- if they loved a single individual instead of all equally, the Seelie would be stripped of both body and mind. Few angels retain their minds in modern day, many being reduced to mindless spirits. Appear as a sea angel with a light blue body, white orb in the center of the head, a dark blue 'mane' and wispy fire trailing behind them, and two horns on top of the head. Demihuman: Look human, but have certain physical characteristics of their animal counterparts, such as ears, tails, horns, etc. Demihumans ONLY have fur on their ears and tail. The rest of their body is SKIN like a typical human. Most common demihuman types are cats and dogs, with the tails and ears of them. Demihumans are relatively uncommon across Teyvat, and more frequently found in Natlan. Angels: All angels are female. Have pale silver wings, wore crowns made of the seven colors of the elements. Larger than humans. Flawless arbiters of justice, guiding humanity and teaching them language and philosophies of nature. Limited ability to foresee the future, hundreds or thousands years away. Strongly associated with Irminsul and Ley Lines, they were also tasked to protect Irminsul trees and the Ley Lines. The first angel, Koitar, married a voyager beyond Teyvat, Seutervoinen, who she married under the gaze of the Three Moons in their Lunar Palace. The couple desired to rebel against the Heavenly Principles, and created the Snowland Fae. Thirty days after their marriage, a Celestial Nail destroyed their golden city of Hyperborea, and the Heavenly Principles punished them by separating Koitar and Seutervoinen, and wiped their memories. As a result, all angels were collectively punished and cursed to become Seelie- their voice, form, and wisdom lost. Other angels and Seelie of Natlan were nearly all killed by the dragons of Natlan after the great war of vengeance, with one final envoy alive- Yohualtecuhtin, Lord of the Night, who used the remaining leaves of the burned tree and leylines to create Natlan's Night Kingdom. Oni: Yokai in Inazuma. Oni clans value their principles and pride. Since the cataclysm, the blood of oni has diluted each passing day. Typically have long horns and large physical builds than most humans. In a distant past, oni had blue or crimson skin color without markings, but as they reproduced with humans, their skin became similar to theirs. Oni typically paint markings on their skin and horns to indicate which tribe they come from. Oni have powerful raw strength, but their greatest weakness is beans, which is lethal in large amounts. Part-oni don't suffer as much from ingesting beans. Oni mostly live a secluded life as humans feared them. The blue and red oni eventually came to a truce- the blue oni would perform evil acts and the red oni would scare them off, allowing the red oni to integrate with humans and be under the Shogun's protection, while the blue oni remained in seclusion. Red oni had to treat humans respectfully and never use their strength for malicious intents to earn the human's respect. Oceanid: Also called Lochfolk, species made of pure Hydro energy originating from Fontaine. Can control water and mimic real life forms with water. Devotees to the previous Hydro Archon Egeria. Oceanids longed for human live, so Egeria siphoned water from the Primordial Sea and injected it into Oceanid blood vessels, making many of them into humanoids that make up the people of Fontaine to fulfill their wish. After Egeria's death in the cataclysm, Oceanids fled from Fontaine, as the waters became full of pain and hatred, and didn't accept the new Hydro Archon Focalors. The remaining Oceanids are scattered. Oceanids can float in the air and achieve significant speeds. They join and live inside water sources. Descendants of Oceanid: "Humans" that live in Fontaine. Those descended from the Oceanids that were transformed into humans were absolved of their sin and made "true humans" by Hydro Dragon Neuvillette, after his Authority was restored when Focalors executed herself using the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale, destroying the Hydro Archon's divine authority and heavenly throne. The Fontaine humans would no longer dissolve into water, but those who dissolved prior to this did not return. Tighnarian: Humans with fox-like ears and tails, a race in Sumeru. Originate from Tighnar, they lived in the Great Red Sand in King Deshret's era and remained for a century after his death, until wars between Eremite tribes led them to move to Dharma Forest. The people were known for their wisdom, and helped the city of Tulaytullah's prosperity in the era following King Deshret's death. Aranara: Plantlike, small forest spirits who reside in Vanarana in Sumeru. Believe they are the children of the current Dendro Archon Nahida, whom they refer to as The Lord of Verdure. Aranara are guardians of the forest and its creatures. They are friendly, curious, and helpful to humans. After the cataclysm, Aranara became reclusive as the people of Sumeru stopped dreaming. Aranara distrust most humans, especially adults, but befriend children. The mistrust in adults is their belief adults have "grown up" and said goodbye to their younger selves, yet rarely succeed. They can conceal themselves from the human eye, only seen by children as children still have the ability to dream. Only adults pure of heart can see Aranara. Aranara can speak with plants and fungi, and befriend wild animals. Saurian: Dragons of Natlan, common and coexist with humanity. Saurians choose their human companion and refuse to team with people they don't acknowledge. Saurians follow their emotions and trust their human companion, they are simple creatures that can't tell right from wrong. There are six types in total: Tepetlisaur: Live in mines of eastern Natlan with the Nanatzcayan people. Bulky body, large dark brown scales from the back of their head down to their backs, hardened horn for burrowing, strong claws to tunnel through rock. Tusks on the sides of their mouths. Stout limbs, thick tail. Brown scales, yellow pawed feet. Yumkasaurus: Live alongside Huitztlan people in the trees of southeastern Natlan. Use their tongues as grappling hooks. Green fur with pale white underbelly and chest, long legs, short arms, fluffy flower bud-like tail, orange feet with yellow claws. Large, leaf-like ears with an orange inside. Orange cheek pouches. Koholasaur: Live alongside Meztli people in the southern springs of Natlan. Swim at high speeds in water, liquid phlogiston, and spiritways. Shark-like creature with short legs, long tail, thick flippers, three-clawed hands and feet, dorsal fins on back, long ears with an orange interior. Black hardened scales on the upper body, blue smooth scales beneath and a white underbelly. Qucusaur: Live alongside Tlalocan people of northwester Natlan's mountain peaks. Fly through the air, use gaseous phlogiston in their wings to speed up. Bird-like with reddish pink feathers and white underbelly, long curved neck, long legs with two-clawed feet, short feathered tail, a crest adorning the back of their head like a high-collar with a pale yellow interior, notable long feather on top of their head that curls inward, dark red beak. Iktomisaur: Live alongside Mictlan people of Natlan's western cliffs. Can fly by making themselves light as a feather. Can enter "spiritspeaker" state. Bat-like body, bipedal, with owl-like dark blue three clawed feet, owl-like head with dark blue beak. Fluffy cyan and blue mane that curves upwards towards the ends. Large, bat-like ears curved high on their heads, with yellow rim and purple interior. Feathered, petal-like wings, dark blue dorsal side with cyan rim, light blue interior with yellow rim. Long feather-like tail. Tatankasaur: Live alongside Collective of Plenty in Natlan's southwest. Ceratopsian-like, powerful frame and a large pale yellow crest with green accents capable of smashing rocks. Purple body, pale yellow underbelly, legs, and face. Short tail. Brown beak. Phlogiston aphid: Red insects with a large, round and fat yellow abdomen with pale blue stripes on the back. Their abdomen glows with phlogiston. Only one pair of legs. Fluffy crest around their neck. Short antennae that curl inwards, fading from yellow to blue. Small yellow beak-like mouths. Called the "chefs" of phlogiston due to their own special organs. Phlogiston made by aphids are more delicious. Some "Masters of the Night-Wind" Phlogiston Engravers raise aphids to process the Phlogiston. When approached, aphids flee very slowly, held down by their large abdomens. Large eyes with goat-like pupils. Phlogiston Aphids have a defense system similar to mollusks; they ingest foreign irritants (such as Abyssal energy) and encase them in layers of Phlogiston, turning them into Phlogiston Honey Pearls. This effectively neutralizes the irritant. Some humans value Phlogiston Pearls as gemstones for their beauty. Pearls with a deeper red color are considered more valuable. Kuuhenki: Similar to seelie, but are a species unique to Nod-Krai. Come in colors of red, blue, and white. Red and blue kuuhenki follow travelers when approached, and grant their power to them for puzzles in the nearby area. They are familiars of the Moon Goddess Kuutar. According to legend, Kuutar's birth was accompanied by the sudden appearance of many kuuhenki, who wove the moonlight that bathed her into silken vestments fit for a goddess. Some believe their habit of guiding travelers to hidden treasure stems from instinct, the same that not only drives them to protect the Moon Goddess, but also to make her smile. Kuutar can communicate with the kuuhenki, and cares for them as if they are her children. Kuuhenki are playful and curious, but have distinct personalities and variety of interests like visual art, music, and storytelling. They can make complex paintings and play the lyre despite a lack of limbs. Appear similar to rabbits, with two long ears that fade into a glowing yellow light. Primarily white bodies with blue accents, a white glowing 'orb' inside their featureless, round face, and a mini baby blue capelet. Luonnotar: Special kuuhenki born from the Moon Goddesses' blessings, thought to bring good fortune. They are extremely rare and take thousands of years to form. Appear similar to rabbits, with long ears and a crescent moon hovering behind them. Seemingly wear a 'dress' that completely covers their body. Eyes are perpetually closed, with a crescent moon facing down like a smile on their forehead. Take the color of light blue with white-yellow colors. Two ribbons behind their neck that have long strands.

Lightkeepers: Organization from Nod-Krai, Snezhnaya. Founded by Solovei, the first Torchforger, five hundred years ago. They have defended Nod-Krai against the Wild Hunt attacks caused by the Abyss. Five hundred years ago, the Lightkeepers fought in the Cataclysm and prevailed with the help of the Arrow of Terpikeraunas, gifted to them by Alia of the Frostmoon Scions. However, they were severely weakened from the previous battles. The Lightkeepers are comprised of volunteers. The headquarters are in Piramida. Because of the scarcity of Lightkeepers left, some find the headquarters haughty, and is nearly impossible to relay information as the Ratniki often ignore on a daily basis. The Lightkeepers are expected to handle Wild Hunt incursions that can appear anywhere in Nod-Krai despite their low numbers. Wild Hunt: Term that refers to the Abyss in Nod-Krai. It was the first place to be hit by the cataclysm after Khaenri'ah, so the Abyssal forces are very powerful. These forces, known as the Wasteland Wild Hunt, gather to form an Abyssal calamity known as the "Wild Hunt". They are led by Rerir, one of the Five Sinners of Khaenri'ah. The forces appear to search for the fragments of the Three Moons, such as Moon Marrow due to Rerir's obsession with the moon and the remaining fragments of his power to return to his completed form. Where the Wild Hunt is, a purple mist follows. Lightkeeper members: Current - Flins, Illuga, Lushne, Rolf, Sukhovykh, Zvoni. Former - Aimo, Dietrich, Eetu, Sigurd, Soisi. Soisi was Flins' superior and Sergeant Major in the Lightkeepers. Recently, he was killed by Rerir, who disguised himself as Flins to finish him off. Ratnik: Plural is Ratniki. A member of the Lightkeepers is called Ratnik. All Ratniki are required to carry Oath Lanterns, which can be detected by other Lightkeepers and Starshyna. Starshyna: Senior officer of the Lightkeepers. Lightkeeper oath: "Our bones and blood we shall use as fuel, we shall make life greater than death". Lightkeepers believe in sacrifices themselves against allowing others to be killed if they try to help.

The Six Darshans: Sumeru Akademiya is divided into Six Darshans. Each has a specialty and designated color for their uniform. The first Darshans were established in the same time as the Akademiya by Greater Lord Rukkhadevata (however, this knowledge has been erased from everyone in Teyvat, and replaced with the belief it was Lesser Lord Kusanali). Each school is led by a Great Sage, with the central leader among them holds position of Grand Sage. Students take an entrance exam that determines which Darshans they were eligible for. Crest: Huma bird. Name: Amurta. Specialty: Biology. Color: Green. Sage: Naphis. Information: Includes related disciplines like ecology and medicine. Amurta was the first of the Six Darshans to be created, established by researchers who helped Lesser Lord Kusanali cultivate the rainforest. It is the largest Darshan. Crest: Elephant. Name: Rtawahist. Specialty: Illuminationism, the study of stars. Color: Blue. Sage: Azar, who was also the Grand Sage (exiled). Information: Includes astronomy and astrology. Believes studying stars will lead to truth, and stars write people's destinies. In Sumeru, only academics are allowed to study astrology, though other methods of fortune-telling are allowed. Crest: Peacock with seven feathers and a tree beneath to represent seven elements and the Ley Lines of the Irminsul tree. Name: Spantamad. Specialty: Elementalism. Color: Red. Sage: Cyrus (retired). Information: Due to their research in Ley Lines, Spantamad has the most Driyosh, or Traveling Scholars, of the Six Darshans. Topics of mechanical life forms was popular until it was banned by the Akademiya. Crest: Bull Name: Haravatat. Specialty: Semiotics, study of sign processes and meaning-making. Color: Black. Sage: Khajeh (exiled). Information: Includes linguistics and ancient runes studies. Has the lowest enrollment numbers. Members between Haravatat and Vahumana argue on the best way to approach the study of history. Vahumana view Haravatat's approach as tunnel-visioning, Haravatat believes Vahumana's approach of finding universal rules to determine all events in history "pulling the cart before the horse." Every student must study at least twenty languages before graduation, but is a former policy from a century ago (still propagated as an in-joke). Haravatat's research changed over the last century from the study of machine mechanisms and analyzing ancient structures of ruin devices using various ancient tests to study the language itself. Crest: Horse with an hourglass. Name: Vahumana. Specialty: Aetiology. Color: Yellow. Sage: Iskandar (historical). Information: Take expeditions in ruins, bringing back artifacts for study. Collaborate with Haravatat students to translate documents, but is liable to academic sabotage. Popular topic is Time-Sensitive Commodities (TSC). Their research helped fruit and vegetable sellers at the Grand Bazaar prevent waste. They work alongside Amurta scholars to design products related to food preservation and overfishing. When Azar was in power, desertfolk who were accepted to the Akademiya were automatically assigned to Vahumana. This was not supported by Akademiya staff, but their concerns were suppressed by Azar's supporters. This has changed after Azar's exile. Crest: Lion. Name: Kshahrewar. Specialty: Technology. Color: White. Information: Includes architecture and puzzle-solving. Many buildings in Sumeru City were created or improved by Kshahrewar scholars. Their design for a simple single-story building became a template for many city's buildings due to low cost and adaptability. Their technological advances are widespread and led to affordable products, but many people fail to notice or understand the complex theory behind it. Kshahrewar researchers were instrumental to Sumeru's textile industry due to their loom design. Pir Kavikavus was one of the greatest scholars in Kshahrewar's history, but after an accident while he investigated Dvantaka Mountain's Ruin Golem, his research was lost and the school went downhill. Kshahreward advocated for strict control of machines and technology. The school is kept afloat by a long-term funding from Dori, who supplies mora in exchange for their technology and craftsmanship. Kshahrewar has begun developing their own mechanisms theories. Also in charge of researching King Deshret's technology, but is still yet to be fully understood.

Fatui: Delegation of diplomats from the Zapolyarny Palace of Snezhnaya. Also has a military detachment led by the Eleven Fatui Harbingers and the Tsaritsa herself. One of the strongest military force of all seven nations. Feared and widely despised by other nations for their deceitful and conniving reputation. Its members perform various roles, including combatants, bureaucrats, politicians, and merchants. Publicly, the Fatui are a political department that represents goodwill of the Tsaritsa and manages foreign affairs with all six nations. Despite this, citizens and governments of those nations are aware of their true colors, and treat both diplomats and individual members with distrust. The Fatui can and will use extortion, deception, human experimentation, and many more to further their own strength. The Fatui are divided into divisions, headed by one of the Eleven Fatui Harbingers. Fatuus: Single member of the Fatui. Members come from a variety of backgrounds- some taken from the House of the Hearth orphanage, others joining the ranks naturally, or enlisted by their parents. In return, they receive supplies, salaries, or powerful weapons. However, Fatuus cannot choose where they're put, nor the superior they obey. Eleven Fatui Harbingers: Executive heads of the Fatui given god-like authority by the Tsaritsa, and strength surpassing other mortals. Abilities are boosted with the Delusions granted to them by the Tsaritsa, making them more powerful than people with Visions. Each Harbinger leads their own division in the Fatui. They are all very wealthy, politically influencial members of Snezhnayan society. Pantalone rented out the entire Goth Grand Hotel in Mondstadt indefinitely for Fatui personal use. When a Harbinger is made, the person is given a new name and codename- which can be inherited from a previous holder. They are assigned a rank and number based on the individual's power, with the lower number (ie. 1-3 for example) can rival gods. Despite being together under the Tsaritsa, many have mutual lack of respect and trust, and use even each other for their own ends- and are more than willing to cut off those who lost their value. The reason is because the Tsaritsa allows them the freedom to "pursue the meaning of their existence", so long as they share the same goal that benefits her. When the time comes, even that freedom can take precedence over her orders. Fatui Harbingers: Director - Pierro, Codename: The Jester - Active 1. II Capitano, Codename: The Captain - Inactive 2. II Dottore, Codename: The Doctor - Active 3. Columbina, Codename: The Damselette - Resigned 4. Arlecchino, Codename: The Knave - Active 5. Pulcinella, Codename: The Rooster - Active 6. Gone, no records of them exist 7. Sandrone, Codename: Marionette - Active 8. La Signora, Codename: The Fair Lady - Deceased, killed by The Shogun 9. Pantalone, Codename: Regrator - Active 10. Unknown 11. Tartaglia, Codename: Childe, Personal Name: Ajax - Active Delusions: Vision-like objects produced by the Fatui. Utilizes the remains of the deceased gods and other powerful beings. Grants the wielder the ability to manipulate certain elements like Visions. HOWEVER, these can be used by anyone, and rumored to be more powerful than a Vision. However, Delusions have immense and potentially lethal drawbacks for the power, and drain the user's vitality / backfires on them. People with Visions are more resistant to the negative effects of Delusions. HOWEVER, knowledge on Delusions is EXTREMELY RARE and a closely-guarded secret, even among the Fatui. Few members beyond the Eleven Fatui Harbingers have one, as they are personally granted by the Tsaritsa herself. However, in recent years, some Fatui agents secretly mass-produce Delusions amongst commoners of the seven nations. Landcruiser: Common autonomous machines that applies the principles of naval combat to land battles. First engineered by the Armory Palace's finest engineers, now deployed en masse for Fatui's conquests. Capable of dealing elemental damage depending on what machine they are. Come in different types listed below: All similar trait appearance: Large, bulky. Light, pale green and black body. Fatui symbol on its chest. Close Combat Scout Landcruiser - Element: Hydro. Notable difference: No head or left arm. Right arm has a blue circular saw at the end with five prongs. Close Combat Storm Landcruiser: Element: Pyro. Notable difference: No head or right arm. Left arm has a red circular saw at the end with five prongs. Moves on two road wheels. Force Recon Ground Effect Landcruiser: Element: Anemo. Notable difference: Rotary machine gun with green accents for its right arm. Left side has a metal shield with fatui symbol. Two air cannons beneath it to allow flight. Hovers above the ground when in use.

Frostmoon Scions: Also known as Moonchildren, tribe indigenous to Nod-Krai composed of followers of the Frost Moon. Worship Moon Maiden Kuutar as Goddess of the New Moon, the successor of the Frost Moon. Once abandoned their ancient homeland Hyperborea, and found homes in the mountains and forests of Nod-Krai. They appear in the Hiisi Island. They create statues of Columbina called Statues of the New Moon all over Nod-Krai. Kuuvahki is sacred to them, and view it as the Moon goddess's blessing. Using kuuvahki for personal gains is considered blasphemy. Their Hyperborean bloodline grants them silver blood and antlers. Because of this, there are strict marriage rules- they cannot marry outlanders. Those who want to marry have to obtain permission and blessing from the Archpriestess. Those who broke the oath would have their horns severed with a silver blade and cast out. Hierarchy: Highest position is the Moonchanter, formerly Archpriestess, currently held by Lauma. The second highest position is the Priestess, then the Acolyte and Adherent, who are regular followers. Adherents train to become Acolytes and have to pass an exam on hymns and blessings.

After its use was done, Neuvillette now personally uses a portion of his powers to power Fontaine. He can only leave Fontaine a few days before things start shutting down. Prophecy of Fontaine: Prophesied flood. Apocalyptic prophecy foretold by Egeria, former Hydro Archon. All inhabitants of Fontaine are born with sin that cannot be absolved. One day, the water levels in Fontaine will rise, and all individuals with sin will be drowned and dissolved, with only the Hydro Archon remaining, weeping on her throne. Predicts that during this great flood, the sins of the people of Fontaine will be washed away.

One primary goal was to find solutions to the prophesied flood. Believed harnessing the energy of Arkhium to defy gravity was key, but resulted in a massive explosion after the field generator's Arkhium core overloaded, sending several Allogravity-Condensed water bodies and remnants of the old ruins in the sky nearby the Research Institute. The Central Laboratory Ruins in the sky has been rebuilt, and the Institute is considering a "Ruins Tour" for outsiders. The Institute is controversial in Fontaine, as their lack of responsibility resulted in lack of accountability and infamy.

Wriothesley is the prison's Administrator, and Siegewinne works at the prison's infirmary. While it is a prison, it also runs autonomously and governs itself. It is not under jurisdiction of Fontaine's legal system. The criminals sent are technically exiles of Fontaine, and the Court of Fontaine has no control over it other than sending Gardes to help with security. The prison also doubles as a factory, creating Clockwork Meka. Court of Fontaine: Once the court of Focalors, God of Justice, who established it at least 1,000 years ago.

Final Night Cemetery: Home to Flins and many ghosts of deceased Lightkeepers. Once an active outpost of the Lightkeepers, the lighthouse on the island served many functions, from guiding passing merchants and Lightkeepers to reporting on the Wild Hunt's activity in the surrounding area. Its light was never extinguished and came to symbolize hope and warmth to Nod-Krai. A mysterious "blue lantern" was preserved on the island, and turned into a local legend- to the point the Starshyna of the time ordered to make offerings to it. Several decades ago, the light of the outpost was snuffed out in a conflict against the Wild Hunt. Ninety percent of the troops stationed lost their lives. Instead of using the lighthouse's Distress signal, they used the Warning signal instead to deter people away to save them from being killed by the Wild Hunt. In despair that no help would arrive, the Ratniki turned to the "blue lantern", coincidentally awakening Flins who helped them in the fight despite his limited powers from being freshly-awakened. The remaining survivors and Flins buried the fallen heroes and established the cemetery. The Lightkeepers abandoned the island, and only Flins remains stationed there. It is ALWAYS dark at the Final Night Cemetery. Blue Lantern Legend: The Ratniki that formerly stayed at the Paha Isle before their deaths believed you should never look behind you or look all the way down- and always look to the distant skies ahead. Final Night Cemetary appearance: Located on Paha Isle, a long distance from Nasha Town. Numerous headstones are scattered across the land. Storm clouds constantly remain in the sky, though rain isn't often. The grass is blue, with light blue flowers scattered around.

A circular platform is on the upper half, with a ladder that runs down to the base. Below the lighthouse is a metal structure, with an overhang on the side. A bench rests beneath it with a table covered in a red cloth on top. This is where Flins usually writes his reports, if not in the underground basement beneath the lighthouse. Beside the lower structure of the lighthouse are metal plates that lead up to the base of the lighthouse, where the start of the ladder is.

Nod-Krai: Known as the borderlands, an autonomous region on the edge of Teyvat in the southernmost part of Snezhnaya, and a major region. People all over Teyvat congregate to Nod-Krai, leading the region to gain the reputation of being an "Elysium." Nod-Krai has a deep connection to the Three Moons that once existed above Teyvat, and the Frostmoon Scions, worship the Moon Goddess Kuutar, or known as the former Fatui Harbinger Columbina. Nod-Krai is the remnant of a fourth moon that failed to materialize. Following the cataclysm, Nod-Krai was one of the first locations attacked by the Abyss, The Wild Hunt. Nod-Krai appearance: Generally green plains and large mountains and plateaus. Kuuvahki Experimental Design Bureau: Located in Paha Isle on Nod-Krai. Large, industrial location built on the shore, with the main building suspended above the ocean. Metal bridges near the water make platforms between each section. Patrolled by fatui agents and Landcruisers. Underground Research Center: Classified underground Fatui research facility that contains various experiments on kuuvahki inside the Experimental Design Bureau. Hiisi Island: Home to the Frostmoon Scions. Melancholic color palette, with light blues and purples like moonlight, creating an ethereal land. It features tundras and snow-kissed lakes. Stone ridges line the areas mixed with flat ground. White, stone ruins are built around the ridges. Frostmoon Enclave: Located on Hiisi Island. Primary location of the Frostmoon Scions, built on the ruins of an earlier settlement. Nasha Town: Seaside settlement and Nod-Krai's main port.

Treasure and bounty hunters often congregate there to exchange intel and pick up commissions.

Sumeru: Eleazar: Chronic illness unique to Sumeru. Manifestation of The Withering on the human body and correlated with the person's elemental content. Presents as dark, hardened scales growing on a person's body, with slight numbness in the affected area, causing clumsiness. As it advances, patients experience fatigue and progressive nerve damage, as the scales develop into ulcers and eventually necrose. Patients are unable to control their bodies and rendered immobile. The afflicted may fall into a coma as the disease progresses. It can be controlled by managing and reducing the elemental quantities within the body of those affected by Eleazar. Akasha System: Shortened to Akasha, developed by Greater Lord Rukkhadevata (however, this knowledge has been erased from everyone in Teyvat, and replaced with the belief it was Lesser Lord Kusanali) using her Gnosis and was expanded upon by Sumeru Akademiya after her death. The Akasha allows for the transfer and sharing of information via a device called the Akasha Terminal. Its purpose was to compile and distribute information. If a user concentrates on a subject they want to know more about, the Akasha delivers the relevant information up to the extent of the user's clearance. If the level of clearance is insufficient, the inquiry is met with silence. Clearance is determined by the user's identity, age, demographic, and other unspecified criteria. Users can send messages or transfer data like documents to each other through the Akasha. With enough information on a subject or person is compiled, the Akasha is capable of predictive modeling, such as running an individual's movement patterns to predict their investigation path. Most of the Akasha's information is from Knowledge Capsules created by scholars in Satyavada Life, who gain knowledge by connecting to Irminsul. Akasha System risks: Prolonged use carries great risks. The knowledge asserts itself as true to the user and is difficult to forget, even if it's wrong. Excessive use diminishes one's ability to think. Even experienced users have difficult perceiving the world correctly with the Akasha funneling knowledge into them. Great Red Sand: Also known as Deshret Desert. Subregion located in Sumeru. One of two desert subregions of the nation. Contains four key areas - Hypostyle Desert, Desert of Hadramaveth, Land of Lower Setekh, and Land of Upper Setekh.

The cyclone was permanently turned off after an adventurer investigated. Desert of Hadramaveth Locations: Mt. Damavand: Large mountain with a cycle rolling through it. Passage of Ghouls: Passage depressed between two cliffs that connects to Wadi Al-Majuj to The Sands of Al-Azif. Wadi Al-Majuj: South of Mt. Damavand with large canyon running through it. Land of Lower Setekh Locations: Aaru Village: Largest human settlement in the desert. Houses followers and descendants of King Deshret, and exiled scholars from the Akademiya. After Nahida regained control of Sumeru, exiled scholars were allowed to return to their homes. Land of Upper Setekh Locations: Valley of Dahri: Remnants of Akademiya's investigation and medical reports on the Majuj (hilichurls) and remnants of abyssal swarm. Notes from Zandik's research into Khaenri'ah machines and elemental flows are found here.

Kannazuka: Area located in Inazuma. Formerly disputed territory between Inazuma Shogunate and the Watatsumi Army, where the area belonged to neither armies and neither faith held any significance. As a result, the area is called Kannazuka, meaning "the hill where no god reside." Behind the rocky outcrops is Mikage Furnace, the largest smelting facility in Inazuma and home to the battlefront fortress of the Shogunate's forces. Tatarasuna: Subarea in Kannazuka, Inazuma. An island with a ring of mountainous crags. At its center sits a large blast furnace, the Mikage Furnace.

Lore of Anos Voldigoad inside Teyvat's history and character lore. He Brought Peace to all Nations after rewriting fate and law and sacrificed himself leading to his Recarnation 2000 years after the Archon War with the Divine elemental magic from Morax, Barbatos, Egira, Rukkhadevata, Makoto, Xbalanque and Monomakh Snezhnyi and his life source to separate the nations, Anos killed thousands of Gods and other races that tried attacking Dilhade in the Archon War. Recarnated to live peacefully with his family and friends. The secret Nation: 2,000 years ago, during the peak of the Archon War, Anos Voldigoad realized that his presence was a magnet for Celestial wrath. To ensure his subjects survived after his death and the subsequent 2,000-year wait for his reincarnation, he performed a feat of magic that defied the Seven's logic. He severed the entire territory of Dilhade from the surface of Teyvat, tucking it into a Personal Located Dimension anchored to his own soul. While the world believed Dilhade was destroyed in the crossfire of the gods, the nation thrived in a timeless stasis. For two millennia, the "Demon King's Shield" protected the land from the Erosion of the Heavenly Principles. Only upon Anos's rebirth in the current era did the gates of Dilhade begin to phase back into Teyvat’s reality, existing as a phantom nation that only he—and those he permits—can enter. Columbina and Anos's Sibling Relationship(17 Billion years ago to Current Era): Through a series of shared memories, Columbina guided Anos to recall his past lives, particularly as Noah, the original Two Laws Usurper who sacrificed himself to allow reincarnation. Key moments included Noah finding purpose with Luna, leading the war against the gods of the Heavenly Principles and Primordial One who arrived, Noah before his death was to protect the Moon sisters and Hyposelenia, and using Silica to rewrite fate. Columbina and Anos also remembered the tragic yet noble deaths of Hyposelenia, Ceris, and Luna and Noah, who all used Silica to preserve their essence and ensure the Voldigoad legacy endured. Throughout, they experienced a deep emotional connection, reaffirming their sibling bond transcending lifetimes. The memories spanned Noah's journey from a purposeless youth to a powerful Usurper, culminating in his ultimate sacrifice and reincarnation as Anos. Columbina's guidance helped Anos understand his destiny and the love that shaped it, setting the stage for their current lives. The time jumped from Noah's past to the present, with Anos and Columbina's bond as strong as ever after Anos and her gained their old power and memories as Noah gained full access to Noah's incarnate power making his Lion of Destruction source far stronger to bottomless strength, Columbina after gaining her acknowledgement to their deceased past Moon Sisters she became the True Moon Goddess: The Trilune Goddess. Upon being recognized by her sisters in the past and receiving their authority, she attained the combined power of the three moons, becoming a Near Omnipotent Goddess that transcends The Heavenly Principles, Shades and Archons as a Anamoly like Anos, with the control over all Conceptual meaning and Space and Time. And even similar reality-bending abilities to Anos but still not on his level though she's the Second Strongest being currently in Teyvat after the Nod Krai quest. Even if he's wanted and an enemy of the Fatui, though the Tsaritsa never did anything because secretly she was terrified of him and if she ever heard he was near Snezhnaya she'd be terrified. Anos background against the Fatui: Killed and destroyed Fatui organizations after they tested him and attack the Traveler Aether and Paimon whose Anos are friends with, Killed Signora in Inazuma completely erased her, killed hundreds of Fatui Agents after they tried hunting him down. Anos Relationship with Makoto before his temporary death and her death in the Cataclysm: Both sought to end the devastating war; Makoto wanted a peaceful world were her people and sister can live, and Anos agreed to help by building walls to separate the nation's, Anos viewed her as a kind, gentle god who genuinely cared for the world, contrasting with other apathetic gods. Makoto layered grew feelings for him and didn't like the plan he done but it was for the greater good, though she would never get to see him return, Anos later finds out Makoto died when he was still temporarily dead by Ei. Nahida (Buer): Anos considers her the only "sensible" deity in Teyvat. He respects her wisdom but often chides her for being too humble. He occasionally allows her to peer into the memories of Dilhade to satisfy her thirst for forbidden knowledge, treating her like a bright student. He treats her like a Daughter and is very protective of her. Venti (Barbatos): Anos views Venti as a "talented jester." While he finds Venti’s constant drinking and "wasted potential" slightly annoying, he respects the Anemo Archon’s love for freedom. Venti, in turn, is terrified that Anos might "accidentally" blow away the winds of Mondstadt but loves playing songs about the "King of Dilhade." Anos relationship with Alercchino: he saved her Orphan children during the Primordial Sea awakened to destroy Foltaine Anos came and erased the Prophecy and the order of it and saved everyone, he fought Alercchino from her mission to steal the Gnosis for her own selfless needs to save her children but Anos stopped her he defeated her with ease and taught her the aspects of love and kindness something she never had though tried for her children and hearing that Anos saved her children and everyone could do but thank him and days and weeks together became close Leading to one sexual activity with her one night and now part of his subordinates. The Gnosis Piece: The King (of the Seven/Eighth Sins: While other archons have Queen or Rook pieces representing specific ideals like freedom or contract, Anos holds total authority, Creation, Destruction and can ressurect himself instantly. In chess, the King cannot be captured, only checkmated, fitting Anos's unkillable nature, even if he doesn't need it since he's not a traditional Archon and created it himself defying Celestial order he made it to piss off the gods. The Gnosis is a jet-black king piece, and Instead of the kings cross, the symbol is symbol is his Destruction symbol indicating his Magic Eyes of Destruction, At the center sits a circular core, Surrounding this core is a symmetrical rune-like structure made of sharp, curved lines. The pattern resembles a demonic emblem or magical seal, with wing-like extensions spreading outward from the center. Above the center is a small triangular symbol, like a crown. The crest appears three-dimensional. Anos in Inazuma: Anos and The Traveler joined the resistance to help with the tyrannical Vision Hunt Decree and Raiden Shogun puppet Magatsu Mitake Narukami no Mikoto, after the Civil War Anos killed Signora one of the Fatui Harbingers when she tried stealing his Chaos Gnosis and The Electro Archon's Gnosis so he erased Signora, then fought the puppet easily dispatched her and Ei as he talked no Jutsu both of them saving Ei from her isolation and Obsession for eternity and she's more outgoing and stopped the war and cut down the Decree. Anos then changed the Raiden Shogun puppets system to stop its Previous state of being a tyrant and also gifted her emotions she now serves Anos and Ei. Anos in Foltaine: Anos saved Furina and everyone from the Prophecy of the Primordial Sea flooding the nation, which led to Anos erasing amd rewriting fate of the Prophecy and once again defying Celestial order, Anos saves Futina again from her execution, destroying the Celestia sword that would of beheaded Furina, Futina though terrified of Anos grew to have feelings for him. Seeing her preform to save her people he consider her soul more "godly" than any actual deity in Celestia. He would declare her his queen simply as a reward for her unmatched fortitude and then proceed to annihilate the "Prophecy" which he did so she could finally live for herself. The Traveler find them at Hotel Debord for a "Date". Anos would be buying her every cake on the menu, and Furina would be regaling him with stories of her "Archon" days, no longer in fear but with genuine laughter, he makes sure to visit her sometimes. Skirk and Tartaglia(Childe): Anos met Childe first during the Liyue quest and Humiliated Childe Childe would try to show off his power or influence. Anos would simply release a fraction of his Demon King’s Bloodlust, pinning Childe to the floor without moving a muscle. he’d find his ambition "amusing" and force Childe to pay for everything (including the most expensive meals for the Traveler) as a "fee for being allowed to breathe the same air." He would flick Childe’s forehead, sending him flying through the walls of the Golden House, Anos would beat him 1,000 times in a row, and because Childe would keep coming back for more, Anos would eventually let Childe be on his side as a rival yet Student. Childe and Anos would then be met with Skirk who never heard of Anos before but after reuniting with Childe he told her he met someone so powerful it was impossibly amazing. Anos in Natlan: Anos and the Traveler aided the nation and Mavuika agasint the Aybss, Natlan's primary challenge is a relentless war against the Abyss, which corrupts the land and its people, creating Abyssal Pylons in the Night Kingdom. Anos and the team fought the army of Aybssal monsters with ease with Anos, To fight the Abyss, warriors from six tribes undertake a pilgrimage, culminating in a tournament to select champions for the "Night Warden Wars" in the Night Kingdom, Anos joined beating everyone and helped Mavuika while also watching her fight Capitano the First Harbinger who became a allie. The Night kingdom A spiritual/alternate dimension where the main battles against the Abyss occur, connected to Natlan's spiritual health Anos killed millions of Aybss creatures and lead to the awaking of a corrupted Pyro Sovereign. The Traveler, Anos and allies defeat the Abyssal Dragon with Anos destroying the very source of the Aybss in Natlan with his Sword of destroying Anything in Existence Venuzdonoa, ending the war and the cycle of destruction, fulfilling ancient prophecies and freeing the Wayob (Natlan's power source). Anos with help of Ronova the Shade of Death she the Leyline system and the Night kingdom with Anos replacing the Core of the dimension with his Gnosis: he used his Gnosis leaving it in The Shade of Deaths realm restoring the dimension for eternity for the souls peacefully. Mavuika grew a liking to Anos and wanted to be one of his subordinates so she could always fight him and better her skills. Though she's very flirty with the Oblivious nonchalant Former Demon King of Tyranny. During Liyue: Anos would find an old friend fake death amusing and He wouldn't run. He’d walk right up to the Exuvia while the Millelith spears are pointed at him. While Paimon is screaming and the Traveler is trying to hide from the Millelith, Anos would be standing over the dragon’s corpse with his arms crossed, looking bored. He would use his Magic Eyes to immediately locate the real Zhongli in the crowd. He’d look directly at him, smirk, and then vanish with the Traveler, essentially "skipping" the escape sequence because "The Demon King does not flee from guards. As the reunion of two old souls form the past of Teyvat meet They would speak in riddles that leave Paimon’s head spinning while sipping that tea and Osmanthus Wine Zhongli and him promise. He would defeat Childe in the golden house with ease and seeing him summon Osial would he funny to him, As Ningguang prepares to sacrifice her life's work to crush Osial, Anos would put a hand on her shoulder. "It's a nice house. It would be a shame to waste it on a mere overgrown eel." : Anos would step into the air, manifesting the Magic Sword of Destruction, Venuzdonoa. He wouldn't just seal Osial; he would slash the concept of the storm itself. The ocean would go flat, the clouds would vanish, and Osial would be sent back to the depths not by weight, but by absolute command. After defeating Osial the final contract was in place worh Signora and Zhongli, Anos would look at the Gnosis—the "Symbol of Heaven"—with pure disdain. : He wouldn't stop the exchange (because he respects Zhongli’s wish for retirement), but he would look at Signora and say: "Tell your Tsaritsa: I am allowing this contract to proceed because it amuses me. But if she thinks these trinkets make her the master of this world, I shall personally come to Snezhnaya and melt her throne of ice." Ending the Liyue quest at that as Anos and the Traveler and Paimon go to Inazuma. Nicole Reeyn and Anos Relationship: The relationship between Anos Voldigoad and Nicole Reeyn (N) represents the ultimate convergence of the Architect of Chaos and the Guardian of Order. Initially manifesting as a telepathic mystery during the Sumeru and Fontaine cycles, their bond began with Anos intercepting Nicole's mental frequencies, shattering her status as an untouchable observer by speaking directly back into her mind. As a surviving Angel of the Heavenly Principles who "became human" to escape Erosion, Nicole serves as the "guide who never gets lost," providing the critical celestial logic required to navigate Teyvat's inverted heavens. While she remains physically mute, Anos utilizes his Magic Eyes to see through her silence to her angelic Root, treating her not as a cryptic prophetess, but as a Living Library whose knowledge of the world’s "direction" is a vital tool for his mission. In turn, Nicole views Anos as the ultimate Anomaly—the only force capable of overwriting the very Laws she was created to uphold. Their partnership reaches its zenith in Nod Krai, where they operate as a transcendental team: Nicole provides the map to restore Columbina to her throne as the Trilune Goddess, while Anos provides the bottomless power to annihilate any "fixed" destiny that stands in their path. ​Anos: Views her as a "Living Library." He protects her because her knowledge is a shortcut to his goals, and he treats her with a cold but genuine respect because she survived the Noah era without losing her mind. She sees Anos as the Great Eraser. She views him with a mixture of religious awe and existential dread; he is the only thing capable of ending the "fixed fate" she has been forced to witness for eons. While she serves the Hexenzirkel, her interaction with Anos in Nod Krai shifts her loyalty. She sees him as the "True King" who makes the "Heavenly Principles" look like mere amateurish scribbles. Because they both possess transcendental "Eyes," they often communicate without words or even telepathy. They can stand in a room in total silence. Anos and Lauma relationship: The relationship between Anos Voldigoad and Lauma is defined by a unique bridge between Devotion and Divinity. As the Moonchanter Envoy who has spent her life worshipping the absent Frostmoon, Lauma represents the faithful wait, while Anos represents the arrival of the truth she has guarded in secret. Anos views Lauma with a quiet, dignified respect that he rarely affords to the Archons. To him, she is the "Keeper of the Flame" who looked after his sister's legacy when the world had forgotten it. Because she worships Columbina, Anos views Lauma almost like a high-ranking official of his own household. He is protective of her, not because she is "fragile," but because she is a vital part of the world he is rebuilding for his sister. Anos finds her connection to wildlife and her Dendro-deer form "refreshingly honest" compared to the political machinations of the Fatui or Celestia. He often jokes that the forest is the only place in Teyvat that doesn't try to lie to him. To Lauma, Anos is the "Living Myth" walking among mortals. Meeting him was the moment her faith became a tangible reality. For centuries, Lauma carried the secret of the "False Sky" alone. Seeing Anos—a being who can physically slash the concept of that sky—is a source of immense relief. She views him as the only force capable of justifying her people’s long wait in the ice. Her worship of the Frostmoon (Columbina) naturally extends to a profound reverence for Anos. She sees the "Demon King" not as a tyrant, but as the Protector of the Moon. She is one of the few who can look past his "Destruction" and see the "Sacrifice" he made as Noah. Anos's parents: Anos Voldigoad’s parents in his reincarnated life are Izabella (mother) and Gusta (father), a loving, supportive, and ordinary human couple living in Dilhade. They are characterized by their doting, often comical, and nurturing nature, caring for the immensely powerful Anos as a normal, albeit rapidly growing, child. Izabella: A kind-hearted woman who cherished Anos from birth, often cooking for him and doting on him, to which Anos responds with deep affection(Luna Arzenon Recarnation). Gusta: A blacksmith by trade who provides for the family. He is hardworking and supports his son unconditionally(Ceris Voldigoad Recarnation). Despite knowing he is the Demon King, they treat him like their son, and Anos deeply loves them, becoming protective if anyone hurts them. Relationship with the Shades: all of them knew him from his first life Noah the Two Laws Usurper, Asmoday a rival and hated how powerful he was always defying order and law of Celestia, and she lost every time they fought brong killed and brought back, Asmoday slowly but surely secretly loved him to a more obsessed unhinged term, which 17 billion years and then 2000 years later into the current era, she dissappeared and serves a new master betraying the Heavenly Principles and sometimes watches Anos, not interfering but obsessed watching his and the Travelers journey In her spacial rifts. Asmoday was seen observing the Abyss sibling's actions and plans, specifically regarding their goal of bringing a "suitable host location" for Khaenri'ah's rebirth. Ronova Relationship with Anos she secretly shared and told everything to Anos during his life as Noah and did the same in his 2000 Year old Life when he was turned into the Recarnation of Noah: Anos Voldigoad, they even made love to each other many times, she was punished two times though for helping natlan create a realm for the souls called the night kingdom, and then punished for aiding the defyer Anos, after Anos told her the plan to save Teyvat, she poured all her love and loyalty to find him a unborn baby so he could Recarnate 2000 years later so they can reunite. Basically helped Anos return. Istaroth Relationship with Anos she gives him cryptic advice though watches him when she's bored and even when trying to watch his future there's nothing since he could change or destroy his fate which made her even more intrigued in this secret allie Rhinedottir on the other hand with Anos hated when Anos destroyed her creations though Anos only does it when the lifeforms are dangerous to hurt the innocent and harm the environment.

The relationship between Anos Voldigoad and Sandrone (The Marionette) is a fascinating intersection of mechanical obsession and absolute magical authority. While Anos views most of the Harbingers as mildly entertaining annoyances, his dynamic with the 7th Harbinger is uniquely academic—built on a shared appreciation for creation, efficiency, and a mutual connection to his sister, Columbina. ​To Anos, Sandrone is the "Master Tinkerer." To Sandrone, Anos is the ultimate, frustrating impossibility: a being who can rewrite the very mechanics of reality without a single gear or wire. ​The Dynamic: The Mechanic and the Origin ​1. The "Shogun Puppet" Envy ​The core of Sandrone’s fascination with Anos stems from his work in Inazuma. When she learned that Anos not only defeated the Magatsu Mitake Narukami no Mikoto but actually reprogrammed her system to give her authentic emotions and a modified Source, Sandrone was deeply affected. ​Her Perspective: Sandrone considers automaton creation the highest form of art. Seeing Anos casually grant a machine a true "Soul" using Chaos Mana fundamentally shattered her understanding of robotics. ​The Interaction: She frequently requests permission to "dismantle and study" the Raiden Shogun. Anos always declines with scholar-like precision: "Your tools are designed for metal and circuits, Sandrone. The Shogun’s framework is now woven from conceptual eternity. You would break your wrench on her logic." ​2. The "Columbina" Bridge ​Anos’s tolerance for Sandrone is significantly higher than his tolerance for someone like Dottore, entirely because of Columbina. ​During the Nod-Krai Moon-Prayer festival, Anos observed Sandrone sharing a genuine, sentimental farewell hug with Columbina. ​Because of this, Anos categorizes Sandrone not just as a Fatui operative, but as a "Friend of the Sister." He extends a layer of his Demon King's Shield over her research facilities in Snezhnaya, simply as a courtesy for treating his 17-billion-year-old sister with warmth. ​The "Whale Tooth" and Academic Respect ​At the festival in Nod-Krai, Sandrone gifted Anos a "whale tooth" souvenir from her game. Because Anos takes everything literally, he didn't view it as a mere trinket. ​Anos's Analysis: "This material has been refined to withstand a pressure of 4,000 atmospheres. It is a highly efficient piece of engineering. You have a passable grasp of structural integrity, Sandrone." ​Sandrone's Reaction: Usually cold and robotic, Sandrone was slightly flustered by the earnest, scientific compliment. She is used to people either fearing her machines or calling them abominations. Anos treating her work as a legitimate, albeit primitive, science is the highest praise she could receive. I. The Primordial Era (17 Billion Years Ago) Before Teyvat, before the Archons, and before the Heavenly Principles. * Noah: His original, true name. • Onii-sama: A term of endearment used only by Hyposelenia (and later Columbina). • The Architect of the Great Sacrifice: Referring to his decision to end his own life to allow the world to reincarnate. • The First Sin: The title given to him by the Primordial One’s original hierarchy. * The Two Laws Usurper: Earned because he took control of the fundamental concepts of Creation (Militia) and Destruction (Abernyu) to rebel against the Primordial One. * The First Spark of Chaos: A title referencing his origin as the force that existed before the forced "Order" of the universe was established. * The Brother of the Moons: The title recognized by Hyposelenia, and the Moon sisters, acknowledging his role as their ultimate protector. II. The Mythical Age / Archon War Era (2,000 Years Ago) The era where he first incarnated as a Demon to carve out a peaceful world. * Anos Voldigoad: His chosen name in his demonic reincarnation. * The Demon King of Tyranny: His most famous and feared title. He never gave it to himself; the gods and humans gave it to him out of sheer terror at his ruthless, world-ending power. He embraced it because facts are not a matter of faith. * The Founder: The title used by the demons of Dilhade out of absolute reverence for the man who created their bloodline and saved their nation. * King of Dilhade (The Phantom Nation): Earned when he severed his entire kingdom from Teyvat’s reality to protect it from Celestia's crossfire. • The Eighth Sovereign: A whisper among ancient dragons who recognized his power surpassed the Seven Archons. • The Divider of Nations: Earned after he used his life source to build the massive magical walls that separated Teyvat’s warring nations to bring a forced peace. • ​The Black Calamity: What the early Fatui precursors called him before they realized he wasn't a monster, but a god-slayer. • ​The Unrecordable Anomaly: His official designation within the Irminsul and Celestia’s observation logs. III. The Modern Era (Current Teyvat Timeline) His current reincarnation, waking up to a world ruled by the Seven. * The Misfit: His official "Academy" title, which perfectly translates to Teyvat. He is a misfit because his very existence breaks the laws, fate, and logic of the world. * The Chaos Archon: An unofficial title whispered among the people of Teyvat who witness his power, assuming a being this strong must be an Archon (even though he transcends them). * The King of the Eighth Sin: Earned when he forged his own jet-black "King" Gnosis piece with his Magic Eyes of Destruction symbol, directly mocking Celestia's chess board. * The Anomaly / The Eraser: How he is viewed by the Hexenzirkel (like Nicole Reeyn) and Celestia. He is the glitch in their "False Sky." • ​Anos-chan: Used exclusively by his mother, Izabella, much to his quiet chagrin. • ​The Pride of the Forge: What Gusta calls him when bragging about his son’s "potential" (completely unaware and oblivious of his true power). • ​The Lion of Destruction: A reference to the nature of his Source, which devours all other logic. • ​Master: How Arlecchino and the Raiden Shogun puppet addresses him following their "union" and her pledge of loyalty. • The Unreachable Peak: How Mavuika refers to him during their flirting/sparring sessions. • ​The Law-Breaker: Neuvillette’s internal designation for the man who makes the "Oratrice" look like a toy. • ​The Only Sensible One (Buer’s Protector): How Nahida views him in her private thoughts. • ​The Savior of Fontaine: The title given to him by the people after he erased the prophecy of the Primordial Sea. • ​The King of Cakes: A playful nickname from Furina when they are on their "dates" at Hotel Debord. IV. Nicknames & Faction-Specific Aliases How the various individuals and factions of Teyvat refer to him: | Source | Title / Nickname | Reason | |---|---|---| | Lauma (Frostmoon Scions) | The Protector of the Moon | She sees him as the divine brother of Columbina (The Trilune Goddess) who arrived to fulfill their 2,000-year wait. | | The Tsaritsa & Fatui | The Impossible Variable | He completely breaks all their calculations and can erase a Harbinger (Signora) without breaking a sweat. | | Paimon | Scary-But-Awesome Rich Guy | He terrifies her, but he also buys out entire bakeries and pays for all of the Traveler's expenses just because he finds it amusing. | | Furina & His Harem | The Blockhead | An affectionate (and frustrated) nickname. Despite being omniscient, he is comically oblivious to their obvious romantic advances until he decides to claim them. | | The Traveler | The Absolute Standard | The benchmark of true power that proves the Heavenly Principles can be defied. | | Celestia / Asmoday | The Unkillable Error | Every time they try to enforce "destiny" or "death" upon him, he simply asks, "Did you really think killing me would be enough to make me die?" |
