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 and houses the Sumeru Akademiya.

Sumeru's landscape features both deserts and forests.

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."

The Eremites hail from the ancient, now-collapsed civilizations of the Great Red Sand. They are split into multiple factions and tribes, each with their own beliefs and codes of conduct, although these factions are not always mutually exclusive. Strife sometimes erupts between different Eremite groups, which is why consultants and advisors are appointed by Rukh Shah to facilitate communication. In fact, the name "Eremites" is simply a blanket term for all of the tribes of the desert, ignoring any of the distinctions between said tribes.

As the Eremite mercenaries are very loosely organized, anyone can join them. Traditionally, only those hailing from the desert can join, but there have been a few exceptions, such as Rukh Shah. Others simply use the name for their own benefit, causing unaware foreigners to hire them for a poor job, making the group as a whole looked down upon. One example is Kasim, who uses the name for his own benefit and is known as a fraud by the Corps of Thirty.

EREMITE TYPES:
Low-Tier
The weakest and most common type of Eremites who mostly deal Physical DMG. They are usually found in groups of similar-ranked Eremites or led by a higher-ranked Eremite.

Mid-Tier
A stronger type of Eremites who deal elemental DMG and can enter a state which increases their offense and respective elemental resistance for a short duration. These Eremites are usually found with lower-ranking Eremites, but can sometimes be found alone or with higher-ranked Eremites.

High-Tier
The strongest type of Eremites, capable of dealing elemental DMG and summoning Spirits of Omen to assist them in battle, putting them in an enhanced state with increased offense and defensive capabilities while the spirit is active. These Eremites are often found alone, though sometimes with lower-ranked Eremites.

A member of a loosely-organized mercenary corps from the golden desert sands. Will work for anyone as long as the pay is good.
A true scion of a warrior tribe, such warriors see battle as their ordained purpose, and unlike some barbarian who wields a large ax with ease, these tribespeople are also quite well-versed in the lore and songs of the desert ruins.
An ominous, fragmented spirit is sealed within the weapon they use, awakening in moments of peril. Once it does, it can only be silenced by the cries of the vanquished — whether that be its wielder, or its wielder's foe.
