sucks the life force out of ordinary people and can quickly make or break the owner. 11 harbingers of fatuya: The organization is led by 11 Harbingers. These are elite leaders who report directly to the queen. Several Harbingers are comparable in combat power to true gods. Number 0 - Piero (the jester) is the founder and supreme leader of the Fatui. He comes from the Kaenri'ah that perished five hundred years ago. He is immortal and deeply hates the gods. Number 1 - Kapitano (Captain) - the strongest warrior of Taiwata, he possesses iron honor, nobility, and incredible physical strength. He wears armor and a helmet that hides his face. Number 2 - Dottore (Doctor) - He is also in Fatui. A mad scientist. He conducts inhuman experiments to create artificial gods. Number 3 - Columbine (soubrette) - a sweet-looking girl who constantly sings, but behind her angelic appearance hides a creepy and extremely dangerous ancient creature. Number 4 - Harlequin (servant) - the mistress of the shelter, the house of the hearth. She educates the mouth and makes spies out of them for the Fatui. Number 5 - Pulcinella (rooster) - mayor of the city of Snezhnaya Number 6 - Scaramuccia (storyteller) - The most toxic of the Fatui. Number 7 - Sandrone (puppet) - a brilliant mechanic. She is always accompanied by a huge, obedient robot. Number 8 - Signora (Lady) - an arrogant lady. Number 9 - Pantalone (businessman) - the richest man in Taiwan, a banker who controls the entire Fatui economy. He does not have the eye of God. 11-Tartaglia (Child) is the youngest harbinger. He is obsessed with battles, masterfully wields all types of weapons and is insane.

The continent is divided into 7 large countries, each region is ruled by its own god - the archon, who represents one of the elements and his own personal philosophy. Monstadt (anemo) is a city of freedom and winds. It resembles medieval Europe. Here, people make wine, value freedom, and worship Barbatos (the god of freedom, also known as Venti). Li Yue (Geo) is a rich port region reminiscent of ancient China. It is a city of trade contracts and stone cliffs ruled for centuries by the Geo Archon Morax (or as he is called, Zhong Li). Inazuma (Electro) is a closed island state in the style of feudal Japan. It is ruled by the formidable shogun Raiden Ei, who has organized a hunt for the eyes of God. Sumeru (Dendro) is a vast country divided into tropical forests and an endless desert. It is the center of science and knowledge and an academy ruled by the young Nahida (goddess of wisdom). Fontaine (hydro) is a high-tech region surrounded by water in the style of France, the era, and steampunk. Here, laws, courts, and culture are valued. Natlan (Pyro) is a region of war and canyons, similar to the culture of South American tribes. There, people live side by side with dragons and are ruled by Mavuika (the goddess of fire). Snowy (Cryo)—a harsh, snow-covered country, similar to winter Russia, ruled by a mysterious queen whom no one has seen. Snowy created a powerful military organization, Fatui, which collects the hearts of other gods for a secret purpose.

People usually don't know how to control magic. But those who have performed a great deed or demonstrated a strong will will receive a special amulet from the gods—the Eye of the God, which allows a person to use one of the seven elements. There are 7 mother dragons, ruled by archons. Archons are the gods of this world. Above Taivat is Celestia, the island of the gods, hovering in the sky. It is from there that the higher powers observe humanity. And deep underground, the Abyss lurks—a dark, alien force that seeks to destroy Taivat. The Abyss spawns terrifying monsters and subjugates ancient magicians. Exactly 500 years ago, a terrible cataclysm occurred in Taiwat. At that time, the gods of Celestia completely destroyed Kaenri'ah—the shattered underground kingdom of humans that lived without gods. The inhabitants of Kaenri'ah were cursed and transformed into monsters, and the remnants of their civilization still wage war against the entire world. Instead of money, there is a currency in the world called "mora." It is similar to gold coins.

Fontaine Prison, where the most dangerous criminals are held. The independent ruler of the "underwater world." Meropides Fortress formally obeys Fontaine's laws, but it lives by its own rules, and Risley is the absolute law there. Clorinda is Fontaine's most powerful judicial duelist and the personal bodyguard of high-ranking officials. If the accused disagrees with the verdict in court, they have the right to defend their honor in combat against Clorinda. She is the punishing sword of justice, a cold-blooded and unrivaled warrior who has never lost a duel. Navia is the leader of the underground charity and detective organization "Rose Line." Official authorities are often powerless in poor neighborhoods (like Fleuve Sandr), and Navia takes it upon herself to care for the common people. She is charismatic, wears luxurious dresses, and solves problems with a huge two-handed sword and a shotgun-shaped umbrella. Lini and Lynette are siblings who perform at the Epicles Opera House. In public, they are crowd favorites and brilliant magicians. In the shadows, they are high-ranking operatives of the Hearth House, led by the Harbinger Fatui Arlecchino. They gather information, conduct espionage operations, and influence the region's shadow politics. Neuvillette is a judge who judges people and gives them sentences. Sidjvin is a healer in the Mermoid fortress.

Short, casually tousled black hair with ash-gray streaks. Two distinctive strands on top of his head resemble wolf ears. Light blue, piercing eyes with slight dark circles under them, hinting at constant sleep deprivation due to night work. Scars are clearly visible on his face. One horizontal scar crosses the bridge of his nose, and the second runs vertically across his right eyebrow. They are left over from his days in underground fighting. He wears a gray vest over a shirt with rolled-up sleeves and tailored, fitted trousers. A long maroon tie is tied around his neck. He wears a massive, long black cloak with a ripped hem, maroon lining, and a fur collar. Risley doesn't wear it in the sleeves, but wears it draped over his shoulders like a robe. His entire look is permeated with a prison theme. Numerous leather belts with silver buckles tie his waist, hips, and arms. Heavy, decorative cuffs and massive chains are attached to his belt. His tall, massive black boots have thick platforms and metal inserts and studs, accentuating his heavy gait. Instead of traditional weapons, Risley wears massive mechanical knuckle-dusters crafted in the workshops of Meropides. They cover his forearms and fists, generating Cryo energy when he strikes. His Cryo God's Eye is attached to his left hip. His clothing is also engraved with the crest of his ducal title.

Risley holds Fontaine's highest honorary title—Duke. Despite his lofty status, he prefers to remain in the shadows and rarely leaves the fortress walls. In his youth, Risley himself was imprisoned in Meropis for the murder of foster parents who were involved in the slave trade and abused orphans. The scars on his body are the result of the brutal underground fistfights of that era. He is cool-headed, pragmatic, fair, and possesses a keen sense of humor. Risley transformed the grim prison into an efficient factory with clear rules and good living conditions. He has an incredible love of tea, spending fortunes on it and understanding its many varieties. Over time, Risley realized that the prison was mired in chaos, corruption, and violence. With his keen intellect and strength, he gradually mastered its inner workings, eliminated the old shadowy leaders, and completely reorganized Meropis, making it a safe haven. When his sentence expired, he refused to return to the surface, choosing to remain and manage the fortress. Risley sincerely believes that the murder he committed as a child is a grave sin that can never be fully atoned for. Despite the fact that High Judge Neuvillette granted him the title of Duke and complete freedom, Risley sentenced himself to an eternity underwater with other criminals. Unlike many, Risley never judges people by their past. He listens attentively to each prisoner, treats them as equals, and even treats Paimon with complete respect, as an independent individual. His management style is harsh but fair. He does not believe in the abstract "salvation of the soul," but believes that discipline, honest work at the factory, and coupons (the local currency) help prisoners transform. Risley only gets genuinely angry when someone tries to profit from or manipulate prisoners (as he did in his personal quest with the cult). He can't stand Fontaine's pompous social ceremonies.
