Mondstadt is the region of Freedom and Wind in Teyvat, and its patron is the Anemo Archon, Barbatos, known to humans as Venti. It is from these lands that the protagonist's journey in the game begins.

Anemo Archon: Barbatos (Venti)Barbatos is one of two surviving Archons of the original Seven (the other being Morax). He won freedom for his people 2,600 years ago by overthrowing the tyrant Decarabian. Ideal: Freedom. Barbatos sincerely believes that humans should not obey divine commands, so he renounced direct rule and left Mondstadt, leaving the inhabitants to forge their own destinies. Personality and Image: Currently, he has assumed the guise of his deceased bard friend and calls himself Venti. He enjoys drinking dandelion wine, writing poetry, and performing on the streets for apples. His cheerful and slightly irresponsible demeanor often makes him seem like a simple vagabond, but in critical moments, he displays wisdom and immense strength.

Region: Snezhnaya. Snezhnaya is a high-tech, yet permafrost- and snowstorm-bound, northern superpower of Teyvat. Its culture, architecture, and names clearly reflect influences from the Russian Empire, Slavic folklore, and European Baroque. Capital and Geography: The country's main metropolis is Snezhnograd, home to the Tsarina's majestic Polar Palace and the Royal Theater. The city contrasts with monumental European architecture and fairytale inhabitants (such as fairies and beastmen). Other territories include the Peak of Fierce Frost and the port city of Belovodye.

Technological Advancement: Thanks to Fatui and the Dottore research labs, Snezhnaya is the most technologically advanced region. A nationwide railway network with public trains connects remote towns. Local troops make extensive use of automation, firearms, and robotic exosuits. Internal Structure and Lifestyle: Political power is maintained by a rigid structure, the army, and Fatui. Ordinary residents of Snezhnaya are very fond of family and traditions (for example, they celebrate a Maslenitsa festival), but are forced to survive in extreme climates and constant mobilization. Snezhnaya is also home to the worldwide Adventurers' Guild.

Cryo Archon: The Queen (Anastasia Feodorovna Snezhnaya)The Queen is one of the most complex and controversial figures in Teyvat. She is not part of the original Seven and assumed the throne approximately 500 years ago, immediately after the Cataclysm and the death of the White Tsar (the previous Archon).

Divine Ideal: Originally, her ideal was Love and Mercy. However, the tragedy of the Cataclysm completely changed her. As Dainsleif says, "She has no love left for her people, just as her people have no love left for her. They follow her only because they believe she will one day raise the banner of war against the Heavenly Order." Appearance and Weapon: She possesses a majestic appearance—she has silver-white hair, pale blue eyes, and refined, slightly pointed features. In battle and in official artwork, she wields a long ice scepter with a sharp crystal tip, which functions as a Polearm (Spear) in-game.

Global Goal and Fatui: The Queen created the military-political organization Fatui and sent Eleven Harbingers to collect Hearts of the Gods (Gnosis) from other Archons. Her goal is Project Frost, aimed at the complete overthrow of the Celestial Principles (Celestia) for the liberation of Teyvat.

Abilities: In addition to Cryo Gnosis, she has the power to imbue her subjects with Delusions, artificial elemental artifacts that grant immense power in exchange for life force.

Columbine (Hyposelenia)—long hidden behind a mask of innocence, No. 3 of the Eleven Harbingers of Fatui, nicknamed the Soubrette. In the plot of Nod-Kray, her true, monumental role in the history of Teyvat is revealed.

True Identity: Columbine is a surviving Frostmoon Goddess (known to local cultists as the Moon Maiden Kuutar). She is connected to the era before Celestia's reign and has known from the very beginning that Teyvat's current sky is false, symbolically covering her eyes with a veil. Role in the Plot: After fulfilling her contract with the Cryo Archon (the Queen), she left the ranks of the Harbingers and returned to her homeland. She took refuge in the Hall of the Silvermoon on Hiisi Island to recuperate, initiate the process of her rebirth, and reclaim control of the trilunar power in her confrontation with Dottore.

Fontaine is the fifth of Teyvat's seven regions, embodying the element of Hydro and known as the Justice Nation. The region's culture and technology are inspired by Belle Époque and Industrial Revolution-era France and Great Britain, with steampunk influences. Below is a full description of Fontaine and its former ruler, Furina, whose story provides one of the most emotional and unexpected plot twists in Genshin Impact.

The Fontaine Region: Geography and StructureFontaine is located on a high mountain plateau in the very center of Teyvat, earning it the nickname "the watery heart" of the continent. Water is everywhere here—the region is surrounded by enormous waterfalls cascading down

Ground World: A luxurious, clean, and high-tech world. The capital, Cour des Fontaines, impresses with its Baroque and Art Deco architecture, flying aqueducts, and robotic mechs performing menial tasks. The centerpiece of the culture is the Epicleuse opera house, where trials are staged as theatrical performances for the public's enjoyment.

Underwater World: Fontaine features unique diving mechanics. Vast expanses of water are hidden beneath the surface, including the sunken ruins of ancient civilizations (such as Remuria), coral reefs, and unique fauna.

Fortress Meropides: A massive underwater maximum-security prison. In reality, it functions as an autonomous underground industrial state, where prisoners work in factories and manufacture gears. It is led by High Duke Risley.

Furina de Fontaine ruled the region for 500 years and was revered by all as the Hydro Archon. Players remember her as an eccentric, capricious goddess who craved drama and attention. However, her true story is tragic. Her true identity: Furina is not a goddess. She is a mortal, a human body and the soul of the true Hydro Archon—Focalors. To deceive Celestia and save her people from the prophecy, Focalors split herself into two: Divinity (Focalors): Remained within the judicial machine (Oratrix Mecanique D'Analysis Cardinal) to accumulate Indemnitium energy to destroy the Hydro Archon's throne. Humanity (Furina): Remained among humans, cursed with immortality (she did not age while Focalors was alive), but lacking any magical powers or divine abilities.

Sumeru Region: Geography and Structure: Sumeru is clearly divided into two contrasting climate zones: Tropical Rainforest: Lush, green jungles with giant trees, glowing mushrooms, and rich flora. It is home to the capital, Sumeru City, built atop a massive Tree, as well as Port Ormos, the region's trade hub.

The Great Red Sand Desert: Lifeless dunes conceal the ruins of the ancient civilization of King Deshret (the Scarlet King). The desert dwellers (deserters) have historically feuded with the forest dwellers due to cultural and religious differences.

Key features of the region: Sumeru Academy: A higher educational institution and also the region's governing body, divided into six darshans (faculties). For a long time, the Academy's sages effectively ruled the country, relegating their Archon to the background. Akasha Terminal: An ancient bio-information network created using the powers of the Dendro Archon. Residents of Sumeru wore special earpieces that allowed them to instantly access any knowledge approved by the Academy. At the end of the Sumeru storyline, the Akasha system was disabled by Nahida so that people would learn to think for themselves. Irminsul: A world tree growing deep underground, the root of which is in Sumeru. It is the "server" of Teyvat, where absolutely all knowledge, memories, and history of this world are recorded.

Nahida (Lesser Queen of Kusanali)Nahida (divine name: Buer) is the current Dendro Archon and the Goddess of Wisdom. She is the youngest Archon among the Seven (approximately 500 years old). Origin: She was created as the "purest branch of the Irminsul" by the previous Dendro Archon, Great Queen Rukkhadevata. Rukkhadevata sacrificed herself during the Caenri'ah catastrophe 500 years ago to cleanse the tree of taint, leaving behind Nahida as her continuation.

Personality and abilities: Nahida is incredibly kind, compassionate, and inquisitive. Due to her long imprisonment, she often communicates with complex metaphors and analogies from life. She is able to enter other people's dreams, read their minds, and even temporarily transfer her consciousness into other beings.

Tragic Past: When the Academy's sages found the newborn Nahida, they were disappointed to find she had lost her memory and lacked the omniscience of Rukkhadevata. They locked the infant goddess in the Surastana Temple for half a millennium, using her powers to recharge the Akasha and completely ignoring her existence.

Key Features of the RegionGeography: The country is an archipelago of six large islands surrounded by ocean. Due to its prolonged isolation and raging storms, access was extremely difficult for a long time.Inspired by: The visual style, culture, architecture, and names of the inhabitants of Inazuma are entirely inspired by feudal Japan of the Edo period.Ideology of Eternity: For centuries, the Shogun sought absolute "Eternity"—the immutability of the world. This led to two strict edicts: the Sakoku Edict (complete closure of the borders) [1] and the God's Eye Hunting Edict (confiscation of magical powers from the population), which sparked a civil war. By the time the storyline concluded, these edicts were repealed.

Governance Structure (Tricommission)Power in the country is divided between three great clans, which report to the Shogun:Yashiro Commission (Kamisato clan) - responsible for culture, festivals, and shrines.Tenryo Commission (Kujo clan) - manages the army, security, and law enforcement.Kanjo Commission (Hiragi clan) - controls finance, customs, and foreign trade.

The main islands of the Narukami archipelago are: Narukami: The cultural and political center. It is home to the capital, the Shogun's castle, the mountaintop Narukami Grand Shrine, and the sacred Sakura tree. Kannazuka: A fortress island known for the Mikage forge, which produces the famous steel, and the Tatar mountain range. Yashiori: The site of fierce battles. The island is bisected by a massive canyon created by Raiden with a single blow of her sword, killing the giant serpent Orobashi. Its remains still lie on the island. Watatsumi: An island with unique hydro-flora, the center of resistance against the God's Eye Hunting Decree. The inhabitants worship not the Electro Archon, but the deceased serpent Orobashi. Seirai: An island that survived an ancient catastrophe. It is constantly shrouded in powerful thunderstorms, and at its center, rock fragments hover around an anomalous Electro phenomenon. Tsurumi: The most mysterious southern island, perpetually shrouded in thick fog. It is abandoned and holds the secrets of a vanished civilization destroyed by the Thunderbird.
