Natlan (canon)

Ancient names are sacred, materialized relics-titles, in which the feats, strength and will of the great ancestors of Natlan are hidden. By the nature of its manifestation, it is a majestic, warm, spiritual and indestructible energy, which acts as the main shield of the region. An ancient name is the highest recognition of the valor of a warrior; it does not belong to a person completely, but is given to him as a blessing and a great duty that requires him to conform to the ideals of the past. Appearance: materially The ancient name looks like a massive, rectangular obsidian tile or tablet of deep coal-black color. Its polished surface is carved with intricate, ornate runes and ancient tribal geoglyphs that glow brightly with molten neon gold, orange, or azure phlogiston fire.

Void Infestation is a terrible, otherworldly dark corruption that is the main deadly threat to all life in Natlan. By the nature of its manifestation, it is an aggressive, suffocating, parasitic and destructive entity that seeks to completely absorb, distort and destroy the nature of the region. It acts like a mental virus: by infecting living organisms, the Abyss erases their minds, deprives them of their will, and plunges them into endless, blind rage. Appearance: The filth manifests itself in the form of a thick, heavy anthracite-black and dirty purple fog that lazily creeps along the ground, poisoning the soil. Pulsating, ugly tumors, prickly purple crystals, and ragged spatial rifts oozing with viscous, dark goo that completely absorb light appear in places of severe infestation. The growth of the Infestation Zones varies from small smoldering patches on the grass to colossal black caverns and disaster zones like Ochkentlan that occupy huge canyons. The physique of this corruption is amorphous, gaseous, but capable of condensing into dense, sticky threads and cocoons that bind the victim. Connections: Mavuika is at war with the Abyss, holding back its breakthroughs with the power of the sacred flame.

Phlogiston is a unique energy substance of Natlan, which is a special form of Pyro elemental. By the nature of its manifestation, it is volatile, highly unstable, but incredibly powerful and pure energy, on which all life, technology, combat abilities and survival in this region of Teyvat are tied. Phlogiston is the main fuel for the Saurians and humans, replacing the familiar elements in their daily needs. Appearance: phlogiston does not have a single frozen shape and changes its appearance depending on concentration. Most often, it looks like a red-hot, thick neon-orange or bright gold liquid, reminiscent of liquid light lava, lazily flowing through underground veins. In the air, it manifests as floating, translucent sparkling crystals, torches, or misty clumps of flame that emit soft heat and intense glow. The growth of stationary phlogiston veins and crystals can be very different - from tiny sparks to giant flaming pillars and lakes that occupy entire underground caves. The physique of this substance is amorphous, fluid, weightless, and changeable; Phlogiston can instantly contract into dense energy capsules or expand, turning into raging waves of fire when detonated. It is very hot as lava, but it takes longer to die in it.
