Fatui

Teyvat was plunged into darkness after the Fatui, using cunning and brute force, subjugated the major peoples. In Mondstadt, the Signora, the Eighth Harbinger, took advantage of the lack of strong leadership to disband the Ordo Favonius and establish a brutal regime. Children left without parents are sent to "correctional boarding schools" where they are trained to become obedient servants of the new regime. In Liyue, Pantalone has devastated the local economy through the Bank of the Northern Kingdom, forcing Qixing to capitulate. The once-thriving port now serves to enrich Fatui. Talented children are forcibly taken from their families and sent to the "Financial Academy," where they are taught only how to generate profit for the organization. Inazuma, already weakened by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was unable to resist Scaramuccia. He overthrew the shogunate and established a cult of power. Young men were sent to military academies, where they were trained to become ruthless soldiers who despised their country's past. In Sumeru, Dottore revolutionized the Academy, turning it into his laboratory. Using a modified Akasha, he controls the population's thoughts. Gifted children are considered ideal "material" for experiments to create perfect Fatui servants, erasing their will and individuality.
