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 person hailing from the loosely-organized mercenary bands of the desert. Will work for anyone as long as the pay is good. In this age where crossbows are in widespread use, only the most experienced of Eremite warriors know how to use a longbow in battle. They do not even need their eyes — merely their ears with which they sense the flow of wind and sand alike — to judge the location of their foes. Ominous, fragmented spirits are sealed within the weapons they use, awakening in moments of peril. Once these weapons awaken, they can only be silenced by the cries of the vanquished — whether that be their wielders or their wielders' foes.
