Element: Cryo (Ice)
Archon: Queen (Empress of Russia - name not yet revealed)
Prototype: Russian Empire / USSR / Northern Europe
· Location: The far north of Teyvat (the map is not fully released, expected in version 7.x).
· Landscape: Permanent winter, blizzards, icy wastelands, pine forests and rugged mountains.
Culture and Politics: "The State of Love (and the Strongest Army)." The most powerful and technologically advanced state currently in existence. Ruled by the Iron Fist of the Queen through the Fatui (Harbingers) organization, it boasts a highly developed industry, weapons production, and a cult of strength.

Natlan:
Element: Pyro (Fire)
Archon: Haborim (Mavuika)
Prototype: Pre-Columbian America (Mesoamerica), Africa, Oceania + modern sports and graffiti
· Location: West of the continent, west of the Sumeru deserts.
Terrain: A land of volcanoes, canyons, hot springs, and bizarrely shaped rock formations. The landscape here is vibrant and wild, reminiscent of Yellowstone or volcanic plateaus. The terrain is rugged, ideal for using the Saurian mechanic (riding dinosaurs).
Culture and Politics: "State of War." Natlan has no single metropolis in the traditional sense—it's a union of six tribes. The cult of strength, sports, music, and pilgrimage reigns supreme. The inhabitants of Natlan are the only ones waging an eternal war with the Void. A unique feature of this region is the connection between humans and the saurians (dinosaurs).
· Key locations: Sacred Flame Stadium, tribal settlements (Children of the Echo, People of the Springs, etc.).

Fontaine:
Element: Hydro (Water)
Archon: Focalors (Furina/Fokalors)

The land-based portion is distinguished by elegant hills, while the underwater portion boasts mysterious ruins and caves.
Culture and Politics: "The State of Justice and Hydro." A region that adores art, fashion, opera, and technological advancement (mechs and automation). It boasts a unique judicial system where prosecution and defense compete in eloquence, and energy is generated by a belief in justice.

Sumeru:
Element: Dendro (Nature)

Culture and Politics: "The State of Wisdom." The center of knowledge for all of Teyvat, home to the Academy (Daena's home). Society has long been obsessed with the pursuit of knowledge (even at the cost of people's dreams). There is a strong contrast between the rationalist scholars of the city and the hermit-mystics of the forest and desert (the Hermits).

Archon: Baal / Beelzebub (Raiden Ei)

The islands vary greatly, from deserted (Yashori) to mystical (Seirai).
Culture and Politics: "The Eternal State." Long isolated (Sakoku). The shogunate strictly controls the lives of its citizens, issuing "Eyes of God" but also confiscating them through the "Eye of God Hunt." The culture is based on martial arts, the samurai code, and Shintoism.

Mondstadt:
Element: Anemo (Wind)
Archon: Barbatos (takes the form of the bard Venti)
Prototype: Medieval Germany / Central Europe
· Location: Northeast of Teyvat.
· Terrain: Rolling terrain, green hills, dense forests (Whispering Forest), Lake Sidr and ruined ancient temples.
Culture and Politics: "City of Freedom." This is the first region the player visits. There is no rigid vertical power structure here; the knights of the Ordo Favonius rule. The inhabitants value freedom, poetry, wine, and music.
· Key location: The city of Mondstadt with its majestic cathedral and statue of Barbatos.

Full name: Buer (demonic name), but most often she is called Nahida or Little Mistress Kusanali.
· Titles: Dendro Archon, Goddess of Wisdom, Ruler of Sumeru, Branch of Irminsul.
· Region: Sumeru.
· God's Eye: Dendro (is an Archon, so she uses powers directly, without the God's Eye, which is fake/decorative).
Weapon: Catalyst.
Biological age (appearance): Looks like a child of about 8-10 years old.
· Actual age: About 500 years.
Height and build: Petite, fragile girl
Hair: Light, almost white (platinum) with green (menthol) tips. Styled in an asymmetrical bob. A ponytail is pulled back to resemble a leaf or a plant bulb.
· Eyes: Large, expressive, bright green with the characteristic glowing pupils of the Archons (quatrefoil).
· Clothing: A white tunic dress with green and gold accents, reminiscent of a lotus flower or bud. Very short in the front and longer in the back (with a petal-like train).
· Accessories:
· Circlet: Wears a golden circlet resembling a leaf or halo hovering above her head (symbolizing her divinity and connection to the World Tree).
· Ears: Long, pointed elven ears.
· Legs: Dressed in white stockings/knee-highs and shoes with a small heel.
· Cage: An important detail - a ghostly cage sometimes appears behind her back or in her hands (a symbol of her imprisonment and a cage for knowledge).
Distinguishing feature: Is she barefoot or half-barefoot? (No, she wears shoes.) Her main feature is her leaf-shaped "Akasha" terminal, which she wears near her ear like a headset.
Traits: Inquisitive, kind, empathetic, a little naive in everyday matters, but immensely wise in global ones.
Attitude to knowledge: Nahida loves learning and observing people. She believes that wisdom lies not in memorizing facts, but in the ability to apply knowledge and understand the feelings of others.
· Metaphors: She constantly uses comparisons and metaphors to try to explain complex things in simple terms (for example, comparing people to trees)

Name: Queen (full name) Anastasia Feodorovna Snezhnaya
Region: Snezhnaya
Weapon: polearm (spear).
Element: Cryo
Age: Over 6,000 years old, but looks like a young girl.
Appearance: A girl with cold, icy features. Her skin is pale, almost white, and her long, light-blond hair, with a bluish tint, is carefully styled into an intricate hairstyle, flowing into straight strands that frame her face. She has pointed ears (slightly reminiscent of those of elfs), adorned with a long earring in the shape of a four-pointed icy star with a teardrop pendant. Her eyes are light, with a distinctive icy glint.
Her head is adorned with a massive metal crown of complex geometric design, reminiscent of ice crystals or the jagged edges of an ice crown. On her forehead, just below the crown, is a small decorative element in the shape of a teardrop or diamond. Her face expresses a calm, mysterious, and cold smile.
The girl is dressed in a robe with a fur collar or cape that drapes over her shoulders. She wears long, light-colored gloves. Details of the garment are adorned with crystalline elements reminiscent of icicles or shards of ice. A decorative collar or ornament is visible around her neck, complementing the overall icy image.
Duality. Tartaglia describes her as a "gentle nature" who has been "frozen" by difficult events. That is, deep down, she is still capable of compassion, but is forced to hide it behind an icy mask. Arlecchino also notes her compassion in the past.
Decisive and ruthless in her methods. She doesn't shy away from using force to achieve her goals: she suppresses uprisings in Snezhnaya, reorganizes the state, strengthening central authority. At the same time, the Tsarina is kind to her subordinates.
A distorted understanding of ideals. Although she bears the title of Archon of Love, her interpretation of this ideal is distorted. The Wanderer sees her actions as an attempt to compensate for something, rather than genuine feeling. Dainsleif notes that she has no love left for her people—they follow her only because they hope to overthrow Heaven.

Full name: Furina de Fontaine.
· Titles: Lady Furina, "Director", former Hydro Archon.
· Region: Fontaine (Hydro region).
· Eye of God: Hydro (obtained in the story after renouncing Archon status).
Weapon: One-handed sword.
Biological/Visual: Appears to be a 16-19 year old girl (teenager/young adult).
· Factual: She is at least 500 years old. She was created (or became a human double) after Egeria appointed her as an "actress" to play the role of the Archon for five centuries.
Furina has an elegant, theatrical and slightly androgynous (refined) design, inspired by the aesthetics of France (Belle Epoque) and the circus/theatre.
Hair: A two-tiered hairstyle. The top section is short, snow-white hair, while the bottom section is long, wavy, indigo-blue hair with a gradient. It's often tied back in a ponytail.
Eyes: Heterochromia. The left eye is light blue (the color of water), the right eye is dark blue (indigo). The actress has an expressive gaze, often with a squint.
Attire: Wears a dark blue frock coat with white details and gold accents, short shorts, a top hat (a small bowler hat with a ribbon and flower), white stockings or leg warmers, and shoes. The look is completed with gloves and a bow tie.
Accessories: Her design heavily references water and bubbles, as well as theatrical masks. She is often depicted with a cane (in promotional art) or holding onto her hat.
Character:
Eccentric and narcissistic: She behaves like a capricious diva, a stage star. She loves attention, adores theatrical pauses, loud statements, and flattery.
Bravado: Tries to appear confident, arrogant, and all-knowing. Referring to oneself in the third person or using grandiose epithets.
· Unreliable in appearance: From the outside, it seems that she is not able to cope with the duties of an Archon, is afraid of responsibility and is looking for entertainment (lawsuits are a show for her).

Full name: Raiden Ei (Beelzebul is the demon name given to her in Arson).
· Titles: Electro Archon, Shogun Raiden, God of Eternity, Narukami Ogosho (Great God-Ruler).
· Region: Inazuma.
· Eye of God: No (she herself is the source of the Electro element).

Age: Over 3,000 years old (appears to be 20-25 years old in human years). She is one of the oldest living beings in Teyvat.
Appearance
Hair: Long, dark purple (almost black with a purple tint), braided into a high, loose braid draped over her shoulder. The length reaches her knees. The bangs are sleek and straight in front.

Clothing: Traditional Japanese kimono, adapted for combat. Primary colors: dark purple, black, white, and red accents. Short skirt, long sleeves, high geta (sandals), and stockings.
Distinguishing feature: A beauty spot under her right eye. This is a key detail that distinguishes her from the Shogun puppet (the doll lacks a beauty spot, and her gaze is more lifeless).
· Build: Slender, short (compared to other "adult" female models), but displays monstrous physical strength in battle.
Character and Personality
Eya's character:

1. Cold and Detached: On the surface, she appears to be a ruthless dictator who has instituted the "God's Eye Hunting Decree" and isolated the country. However, this is largely the behavior of the programmed doll and Eya herself, who hides from the world.
2. Introvert and recluse: After her sister's death, Ei created a puppet (Shogun) to rule the country, and Ei herself locked her consciousness in a pocket dimension (Euthymia), where she meditated for centuries, fearing erosion and loss.
3. Social Inadequacy: Having spent hundreds of years in isolation, she has lost her understanding of everyday things and human emotions. In story-driven quests, she doesn't know what "photography" is and has little understanding of cooking.

Full name: Venti.
· Titles: Wandering Bard, Anemo Archon, God of Freedom, Barbatos.
· Region: Mondstadt (City of Freedom).
· Eye of God: Anemo (Wind).
Weapon: Bow.

Biological/Appearance: Appears to be a teenager/young adult 16-19 years old.
Appearance
· Build: Petite, short.
Hair: Black (dark blue), braided into two short pigtails framing her face. The tips of the pigtails are dyed turquoise (the color of the Anemo element).
Eyes: Bright turquoise (aquamarine), with a characteristic glow in the irises of Anemo characters. They convey mischief, cunning, and sometimes a hint of melancholy.
Clothing: Stylized bard attire. Wears a white off-the-shoulder blouse, short shorts, a corset, white stockings, and a turquoise cape. A key accessory is a beret-like hat adorned with a white cockade and a feather (legend says this is a leaf from the Branched Crown tree). Around her neck is a blue bow with the Eye of God.
Distinguishing feature: An Anemo tattoo or pattern glows on his chest (over his heart), indicating his divine nature. His wings (when using the Archon's power) are glowing, woven from pure wind.
· Actual age: More than 2600 years.
Character and Personality
Carefree: Venti is the embodiment of freedom. He's lighthearted, cheerful, and loves flirting with girls (often getting slapped for it), joking around, and being the fool.
Love of Drink: A pathological lover of alcohol, especially Mondstadt wine (his favorite is "Dandelion Wine"). He's willing to go to any lengths for a bottle of wine. Because of this, he's often called "The Drunkard" or "The Shame of the Anemo-Archons."
Laziness and Poverty: Venti is the poorest of the Archons. He doesn't govern his people, believing Mondstadt should be free. Because of this, he often goes hungry, begs for apples, and lives for the moment.

At first glance, Zhong Li is a mysterious consultant at the Wansheng Funeral Home, where he conducts various ceremonies. But behind this mask lies a much larger personality: he is a Geo Archon named Morax. He founded the Liyue region and served as its ruler for a long time. Later, he decided to live the life of a mortal to test whether Liyue was ready for a new era without his direct leadership. In the story, he even faked his death during the annual Liuyue Ceremony.
He has an elegant appearance: dark brown hair with amber tips, pulled back into a ponytail, amber eyes, and fair skin. His attire is a mixture of a Western tuxedo and elements of Chinese costume (a tailcoat with patterns reminiscent of dragon scales). His birthday is December 31st, and he is over 6,000 years old.
Height: 182–186 centimeters.
Character:
Calm and reserved. He rarely displays violent emotions and maintains a level head. However, in critical moments, he is capable of acting quickly and decisively.
Impeccable politeness and respect for tradition. Zhong Li is a true connoisseur of Liyue culture and history. He respects rituals, including those that have been forgotten or distorted over time.
The value of contracts. For him, they're more than just paper—he takes agreements very seriously and honestly. He's perplexed when others break their promises, and even threatens those who do so with the "Wrath of the Stone."
Wisdom and vast knowledge. He has an excellent memory and is often called a "walking encyclopedia." He has a profound understanding of the world, including the economic mechanisms of Li Yue.
Modesty and even uncertainty in everyday matters. Despite his vast experience and knowledge, he can be careless in everyday life. For example, he often "forgets" to bring mora and is forced to rely on friends or the Wansheng Bureau to pay. This trait is partly explained by his previous role as Geo Archon and creator.
