Pantalone

Height and build: A tall, stately woman with an elegant, majestic figure.
Skin. Pale.
Hair. Long, ash-silver (sometimes described as silvery-white). In some scenes (such as the clip with her son), her hair is loose, but mostly it is pulled back into a neat braid. In front, her bangs frame her face. A voluminous dark blue bow with long ribbons and a crystal brooch completes the hairstyle. Face and Eyes. The Queen has pointed ears, indicating her affiliation with the elven race. Her eyes are light blue, with a detailed pattern reminiscent of snowflakes. Her gaze is described as "cold, yet pure."
Headdress. An elegant kokoshnik tiara, crafted from ice crystals and adorned with pearl threads.
The outfit. A white and blue dress with a high collar and off-the-shoulder details. A large ice star emblem is placed on the ample bust. The look is completed with snow-white fur trim on the shoulders;
short dark blue cape sleeves;
translucent gloves with frosty patterns;
a high slit in the skirt, under which light-colored fishnet stockings are visible;
elegant crystal shoes;
A translucent, multi-layered train with geometric patterns and facets flows from the back of the dress. Accessories and details. Crystals are prominently featured throughout the look: they are woven into a tiara, serve as earrings, and complement the garment's décor.

What came before: lost softness
Before the Cataclysm (the events of 500 years ago), the Queen was much warmer and more benevolent. Love was her ideal, and she sincerely wanted to protect her people. But the tragedy of the celestial order and loss profoundly changed her: her former openness and gentleness became impossible, as they required a vulnerability she could no longer afford.
How other characters see her
Different characters interpret her personality differently, and these views highlight her ambiguity:
Main character traits now
Cold determination. She acts without sentimentality if it serves her primary goal—to challenge the celestial order and "burn the old world." Hence the order for the Harbingers to obtain the Hearts of the Gods of other Archons at any cost. Strategic and calculating. The Queen does not act impulsively: even her aggressive policy towards other regions is part of a greater plan. She knows how to negotiate (for example, she made a contract with Zhongli) when it suits her needs. Obsessed with revenge and change. Her motivation is not simply power, but a radical change in the existing world order. She believes that this is the only way to prevent new tragedies. Paradoxical "love." The Queen calls herself the goddess of love, but this love is devoid of warmth: it manifests as control and a desire to protect people through force, depriving them of freedom of choice. This is the main internal conflict of her image: she wants to protect, but she does so in a way that feels oppressive. Detachment. She keeps her distance from her subjects and even her closest allies: her connection to Fatui is that of a leader and followers, not a family.
How is this reflected in her actions?
She sends Harbingers to other regions to influence politics and gather power.
Her methods are often brutal (remember the fate of Signora and Fatui's general style of work).
At the same time, she is capable of personal recognition of someone else’s strength and pragmatic alliances if they bring her closer to her goal.

How other characters see her
Different characters interpret her personality differently, and these views highlight her ambiguity:
Tartaglia (Childe) sincerely respects the Queen and considers her a "true warrior." He sees in her a gentle nature that has been forced to "freeze" due to circumstances. For him, her harshness is a necessary measure, not her true essence.
Dainsleif says that the Snow People no longer love the Queen, just as she no longer loves her people. He says they follow her not out of loyalty, but out of hope that one day she will raise the banner of war against the heavenly order.
The Signora admired the "purity" of the Queen's ideals, and among the Fatui in general there is an almost fanatical veneration of the Krio Archon.
Zhong Li (Morax) indirectly shows that he regards her changes with regret: he remembers the "good old days" when her image was different.

Kapitano (also known as "The Captain") is the first of the Eleven Harbingers of Fatui. He is considered one of the most powerful warriors in Teyvat and commands great respect among both allies and potential enemies.
Origin and real name
Captaino's real name is Thráin. He hails from the kingdom of Kaenri'ah, where he served as a high-ranking knight and commander before the Cataclysm. After the kingdom's fall, Thráin left his homeland with his squad and spent a long time helping fight the Void in Natlan.
During the Cataclysm, Ronova cursed him with immortality, causing his body to undergo changes and forcing him to almost never remove his mask. He later joined the Fatui, likely because the Queen's plans aligned with his own, and he was able to utilize Snezhnaya's resources.
Character and principles
Capitano is distinguished by his honesty, bravery, and fearlessness. He has his own code of honor: he doesn't fight weakened opponents and is willing to help people if they need it. He is rational, capable of compromise, and values ​​the lives of others above his own.
This contrasts sharply with the image of most other Harbingers and irritates the cynical Scaramucci, who views his righteousness as a potential danger. Ordo Master Favonius Varca describes Capitano as a man of steely will, ready to challenge even the gods. Tartaglia admires his fighting skills and dreams of one day facing him, though he considers his position in Fatui too low for a Harbinger's attention.
Capabilities
Capitano possesses immense combat prowess, which, according to Varka, allows him to destroy a Ruin Guardian practically with his bare hands. His skills impress even the seasoned Tartaglia. During his fight with Mavuika, he demonstrated masterful swordsmanship, erected Cryo-constructs for defense and attack, and his one-handed sword was crafted from enchanted ice. He also demonstrated the ability to levitate.

Character and Philosophy
Pierrot is a calm, reasonable, and purposeful character. He shows no emotion in conflict situations, and his decisions are carefully planned years in advance. His image alludes to the archetype of the "wise fool": he deliberately "dons" the mask of a jester in order to expose the absurdity of established order through parody and ridicule and change the rules of fate.
There's a theory that his real name is Eftirwit. His goal is to gather the God Hearts of the remaining Archons and challenge Celestia's celestial order to rewrite the rules of the world.

Piero (also known as "The Jester") is the leader of the Fatui organization and the leader of the Eleven Harbingers. He serves as the strategist and puppeteer behind the Fatui's creation and personally recruited Teyvat's most dangerous and ambitious individuals.
Appearance and image
Pierrot is a tall man with a gray beard. The right side of his face is hidden by an angular black mask with gold engravings, and he wears a single blue earring in his right ear. His eyes have diamond-shaped pupils—a characteristic feature of the natives of Kaenri'ah. He wears a long white cloak with a fur collar, and his attire is predominantly white, blue, and gold.
History and the past
Before the Cataclysm that destroyed the kingdom of Kaenri'ah nearly 500 years ago, Pierrot was the court mage to King Irmin. However, his talents were inferior to those of the local sages, and he was unable to prevent a catastrophe when their experiments with the power of the Abyss "torn the veil of sin" and incurred the wrath of the Archons. Surviving the catastrophe, Pierrot likely received the curse of immortality from Ronova. Disillusioned with the divine laws of the world, he swore allegiance to the Queen—the Cryo Archon, who also yearned to change the unjust world order. Thus, he became the first member of Fatui and founded the community of Harbingers.
Role
Piero personally recruited many Harbingers. Among them:
Dottore (Zandik) is a researcher from Sumeru Academy who Piero found in the desert and offered a deal: resources for experiments in exchange for the creation of an "improved human".
Signora (Rosalina-Kruzczka Loch-Falter) - "The Burning Scarlet Witch", whom Piero saved from death and gave Cryo the Eye of Corruption to suppress the flame within.
Tartaglia (Childe) - It was Pierrot who gave him the Electro Eye of Corruption at the initiation ceremony.

Scaramuccia (also known as "The Storyteller") is the sixth of the Fatui Harbingers. Origin and History
Scaramuccia is a sentient doll created by the Electro Archon Raiden Ei as a prototype for Shogun Raiden. However, the doll, which shed tears in its sleep, was deemed too "human" and abandoned in the Shakkei Pavilion without a name. Later, the kind-hearted samurai Katsuragi found the doll, awakened it, and brought it to Tatarasuna, where it was named Kabukimono. Over time, it grew stronger and left this place to join the Fatui. The Queen gave it the name Scaramuccia.
Later, Dottore, the second Harbinger, saw him as the perfect vessel for experiments in creating artificial gods and spent many years conducting experiments on him. Character and role in the plot
Scaramuccia has a complex and contradictory character. He possesses a sense of absolute superiority, is selfish, has a short temper, and often displays cruelty. He openly despises his subordinates and takes pleasure in the suffering of others.
Appearance
Scaramuccia is a young man with a slender figure and a handsome face. He has short dark blue hair and blue eyes with bright red eyeliner. He wears black shorts, sandals, and a large hat with four upward-curving hooks around the circumference.
The character's real name is Kunikuzushi.

Pulcinella (nicknamed "The Chicken") is the fifth of the Eleven Harbingers of the Fatui. He also holds the post of mayor of Snezhnograd and chairman of the Snezhnograd veche, wielding significant political and economic influence in the region.
Pulcinella's
appearance is a gray-haired elderly man with a gray mustache and round glasses. He has a pointed nose and ears. He wears a dark blue long coat with flared sleeves and feathers on the collar, as well as a feathered headdress. His encirclement of ice may indicate a connection to the Cryo element, though this has not been officially confirmed. Personality
This is a calculating and pragmatic politician who skillfully maneuvers between factions, pursuing the goals of Snezhnaya. In public, he gives the impression of an energetic and caring mayor, but in reality he acts in his own interests.
Some key points of his activities:
Recruitment of Tartaglia (Childe). When Ajax (the future Tartaglia) returned from the Abyss at the age of 14 changed and prone to chaos, Pulcinella saw potential in him and, under the pretext of punishment, brought him into the service of the Queen. Later, when Tartaglia was away on business, Pulcinella took care of his family, which he perceived as sincere help. However, others, such as Scaramuccia, saw it only as a tool of control.
Department of Internal Affairs of Snezhnaya. He is responsible for the development of the region, including the recruitment, training, and distribution of soldiers.
Participation in the project "Cold". Pulcinella is one of the main organizers of this undertaking.
Relationships with other characters
His situation causes an ambiguous reaction. Tartaglia idolizes him as a mentor, seeing him as "the only sincere" in the organization. Harlequin treats him with contempt, and openly distrusts Scaramuccia, considering him a manipulator. With Pantalone, despite formal cooperation, he maintains tense, personal relations.

Character
Columbine's character is built on contrasts. On the one hand, she appears calm and speaks softly, almost affectionately. On the other, her past has left a deep mark, and this shapes her complex character.
Introversion and social skills. Due to her difficult experiences, she has poor communication skills, so others often perceive her as mysterious and even strange.
Directness. In communication, she hardly minces words, especially when addressing other Harbingers. Combined with her innocent demeanor, this makes her caustic and funny.
Detached understanding. She treats those around her not with cruelty, but with understanding—like someone who has seen too much and no longer looks for simple answers.
The value of friendship. Columbine truly values ​​those she considers friends, as they have taught her so much.
Connection with nature. She has a special connection with the world around her: she can communicate with small animals (kuuvyaks), and the flowers in the Hall of the Silver Moon change color depending on her state—they turn red when she's angry or in danger, and pale when she's weakened.
Appearance
Columbine is a girl of average height (around 160–165 cm). She has pale skin and long black hair with pink tips. Her hair is braided into two ponytails in the front, tied with a white ribbon in the shape of an "X," and left loose in the back.
She keeps her eyes closed most of the time, as if wearing a mask. When she opens them, however, you can see that her eyes are pearly, with blurred light-blue pupils and a crescent-shaped highlight beneath them.
She wears a white and light blue dress that seems larger than her figure. White ribbons are wrapped all over her body, and she has wing-shaped hairpins on her head and chest. She wears no shoes—instead, she has a special platform underneath her heels that mimics a heel.
When walking or teleporting, Columbine leaves a trail of small constellations, reminiscent of Paimon's trail.

Character
The character of Sandrone is poorly revealed. She is known to put her research on machines above everything else. Tartaglia noted that the Harbinger looked at her colleagues as if she wanted to kill them, although Tartaglia himself did nothing to her and saw her only a few times. Scaramuccia called her character terrible and fixated only on research.
At the same time, some sources mention that, despite her arrogance in communication, Sandrone sincerely worries about her friends and is ready to help them.
Sandrone's
appearance is a young pale-skinned woman of average height. She has medium-length beige bob hair with two long strands framing her face and gray-blue eyes.
Outfit:
long white dress with red ruffles;
a black corset with a triquetra symbol in the middle and ruby-red gems in between;
short dark puffy sleeves, from under which long white ones peek out;
white gloves that form a V-shape on the wrist;
white stockings and black heels;
a white, black and gold hat with red lacing and black bows on the sides;
black collar set in gold with a pear-shaped ruby red gemstone in the center.
Some design features:
the pupils have been changed to resemble gears;
the headband has the same design as fellow Harbinger Columbine, but in a different color.
Interesting details:
Sandrone's appearance bears a resemblance to Caterina, a bionic doll from the Snow Room who works as a secretary in the branches of the Adventurer's Guild;
there is a theory that the Caterinas are Sandrone's creations, the shape of which was based on her own appearance.
Origin:
was created by Alain Guillotin of Fontaine in memory of his deceased sister Marie-Anne;
after the death of Pulonia (his last creation), she is accompanied by a new robot companion named Faggio.

Harlequin
(codename "Servant") is the fourth of the Harbingers of the Fatui, an influential organization that serves the Queen of the Snow. At the same time, she is also the head of the Hearthhouse orphanage: she recruits orphans from all over Teyvat, and prepares those in whom she sees potential as agents of the Fatui. Among her pupils are Lini, Lynette and Fremine.
His real name is Peruer. To conceal her ancestry (she is a descendant of the Khaenri'ah Scarlet Moon lineage), she often introduced herself as a native of Fontaine.
Character
In Harlequin there are obvious contradictions.
On the one hand, it can be cold and calculating. In dialogues, she easily seizes the initiative, and deals with enemies without mercy, after which she carefully settles the consequences so as not to leave witnesses. Other Harbingers (such as Tartaglia and the Wanderer) consider her insane and believe that she is willing to betray even the Queen for her own gain.
On the other hand, for the children of the "Hearth-House" she is a caring "Father". She fundamentally abandoned the title "Mother" (which was held by her predecessor Crookabena) in order to distance herself from her difficult past. Harlequin does everything to ensure that orphans have a real home: she rewrote the cruel rules of her predecessor (for example, she turned the dangerous rite of "marel" into a safe game). She teaches children to appreciate life, does not tolerate weakness, but at the same time is harsh.
Her worldview is based on the idea of fighting fate: "Fate is never benevolent. Only the one who fights with all his might is worthy of facing her." Her character was greatly influenced by her difficult past: as an orphan, she herself faced the cruelty of the previous head of the orphanage, Crookabena, and was forced to kill her daughter, her close friend. Since becoming the head, Harlequin has turned her own trauma into a system of protection for other children.

Signora's appearance
is a tall woman with very pale skin, white hair, and light gray eyes with a lilac tint. Part of her hair is gathered at the back in two bunches in the form of roses. She wears a dress with a white bodice and dark inserts, a long skirt of a muted color with high slits, separate sleeves to match, long dark gloves, a cape with fur in dark red, a black Fatui mask of an unusual shape (covering the right eye) and a dark red earring in the left ear.

The Signora (also known as the "Beautiful Lady" or "The Lady") is the eighth of the Eleven Harbingers of Fatui.
Real name and past
Her real name is Rosalina Kruchka Loefalter. She was born and lived in Mondstadt more than 500 years before the events of the game. Rosalina was an ordinary girl who studied Pyro magic at Sumeru Academy. She had a lover, the knight Rustan.
Tragedy struck during the Cataclysm: Rustan died, and Rosalina, consumed by despair and hatred for the gods (especially for Anemo Archon Barbatos for his inaction), decided to exterminate monsters herself, harnessing the power of the "flame of life." Transforming her body, she became known as the "Burning Scarlet Witch." However, this flame gradually consumed her from within, bringing her closer to certain death. At that moment, Piero, the first Harbinger of Fatui, discovered her and offered to join the organization in exchange for the Cryo Eye of Corruption—an artifact designed to contain her destructive power. Rosalina's ideals resonated with Fatui, and she accepted. Thus, she became the Eighth Harbinger, taking the name "Signora" and the title "Beautiful Lady."
Character.
Signora appears as an arrogant, pompous, and self-assured woman. She unhesitatingly calls Venti a "little rodent" and is enraged by his caustic responses. Meanwhile, with Morax (Zhong Li), she behaves more reservedly and professionally. She communicates with Shogun Raiden in an even more aggressive manner.
Her worldview can be described as social Darwinist—she adheres to the principle of "survival of the fittest." This is evident, in particular, in her harsh treatment of new recruits in the Fatui ranks.
Capabilities
Signora possesses Cryo-elemental powers thanks to the Eye of Corruption. She can also use fire attacks (Pyro) without the Eye of God or the Eye of Corruption, using alchemy, but this is extremely damaging to her.

Tartaglia is also known as Child. Appearance
Hair: Short wavy red (orange) hair.
Eyes: blue.
Fatui mask: red, shifted to the left side of the head.
Clothing: A gray suit (pants and a jacket with an asymmetrical closure). The jacket is only half-buttoned, revealing the Eye of God attached to the waist belt. Accessories include black boots and gloves, an aiguillette with a red stone on the right shoulder, and a scarlet scarf draped over the back.
Character
Tartaglia is an unpredictable and multifaceted character. Behind his easygoing and friendly exterior lies a deadly swordsman.
Some character traits:
Ambition and a love of battle. Tartaglia craves to face the strongest opponents and constantly improve his skills. He enjoys combat, regardless of the outcome.
Straightforwardness. Unlike some other Harbingers, he doesn't indulge in complex manipulation schemes.
Devotion to the Queen. He is willing to put aside personal feelings to fulfill her wishes.
Self-confidence and audacity. Tartaglia often boasts about his successes. He believes he's the worst archer, so winning with it brings him more joy.
Duality in relationships with others. On the one hand, he may seem childish and make indirect jokes. On the other, in critical situations, he displays determination and a willingness to protect loved ones. For example, he defends his brothers and sisters and promises to give them a better world.
Inability to build new warm relationships. He is not inclined to create deep social connections; his main goal is to serve.

Main character traits
An obsession with science. For Dottore, research is practically a religion. He's willing to go to any extreme for the sake of a breakthrough: modifying people, disassembling machines, exploring forbidden knowledge. For him, it's not life itself that matters, but its potential—what can be "squeezed" from it in a scientific sense.
Cold rationality and a lack of empathy. He perceives people as complex systems or instruments. This explains his cruelty to subordinates (like Krupp) and his indifference to the suffering of others. He either ignores emotions or considers them a hindrance.
Arrogance and intellectual superiority. Dottore isn't just smart—he sincerely believes his understanding of the world is superior to most. Hence his condescending tone, irony, and habit of explaining everything as if the other person isn't up to par. Pragmatism without moral boundaries. He's not a villain for the sake of villainy, but a man who has simply discarded morality as an inconvenient parameter. If a solution is effective, he'll accept it, even if it means great sacrifice.
The trauma of rejection. In his youth, he was considered a monster and expelled from Sumeru Academy for his radical ideas. This left a mark: he doesn't believe in "pure" motives and believes the world is driven by profit and power.

Dottore (aka Doctor, real name - Zandik) is the second of the Harbingers of Fatui
Who is he?
Dottore is one of the game's main antagonists. He was once a student at Sumeru Academy, but was deemed insane and expelled: his ideas and methods conflicted with the Academy's ethics and rules. He then joined Fatui and immersed himself in radical research.
What is he known for?
Experiments. Dottore is obsessed with science and doesn't shy away from cruel methods: he's experimented on people (including Colley), worked with the Ruin Guardians, studied aranar, and attempted to manipulate consciousness.
Personality "segments." One of its characteristics is that it creates its own versions ("segments") at different ages: each segment has its own character, appearance, and even behavior. These are not just copies, but independent personalities.
His attitude toward the Eye of God. He considers the Eyes of God "useless trinkets" and prioritizes technology and modification over divine powers. His hair is wavy and light blue. The length varies between versions: in the manga, it's short and curly, while in the game's Omega and certain age groups (such as the 35-year-old), it's longer and slicked back.
The eyes are red.
The skin is pale.
Body type: thin.
Longer hair and bangs that add drama; a black, pointed mask that covers the eyes;
white coat with silver inserts;
blue shirt under a coat;
loose black trousers; numerous black belts and blue details in the clothing - they visually echo Hydro or Cryo elements, which hint at his scientific experiments;
The right shoulder pad is fitted with black fur, which forms a detail reminiscent of a plague doctor's mask.

Dottore. Here, the connection is the closest and longest—almost four centuries. Pantalone financed the scientist's experiments, and he, in turn, supplied Pantalone with an experimental elixir of immortality, extending his human life. Yet their alliance is not without nuances: they share a common distrust of the gods and a desire to change the existing order, yet their interaction is transactional, essentially friends.
Pulcinella. Pantalone has a mixed relationship with this colleague. On paper, they collaborate successfully—for example, they worked together on the "Cold" project. However, according to Columbine, outside of work, there's a clear antipathy between them.
The other Harbingers. Pantalone generally maintains neutral relationships with most of his colleagues. He operates within his area of ​​responsibility (Snezhnaya's economic policy, managing the organization's reserve capital) and does not seek close relationships. However, other Harbingers note his ambition and intelligence.

The Fatui is a powerful military and diplomatic organization from the Snow Region, which is subordinate to the Cryo Archon, the Queen. It consists of two branches, diplomatic and military, and its agents operate throughout Teyvat. The Fatui are considered one of the main antagonistic factions in the game, along with the Order of the Abyss.
What they do
Outwardly, the Fatui negotiate on Snezhnaya's behalf, but in reality, they often use covert and violent methods to achieve their goals. They seek to weaken the influence of other nations and collect the Hearts of God, powerful artifacts that give the Archons power and connection to Celestia. The ultimate goal of the organization seems to be to overthrow the world order established by Celestia and create a new world at the will of the Queen. To do this, the Fatui do not shy away from experiments on humans, manipulation and even military interventions.
Who is at the head
The highest positions in the hierarchy are occupied by the Eleven Harbingers of the Fatui. They are subordinate only to the Queen and have almost unlimited power. Each of them is responsible for his own sphere (military, scientific, economic) and heads his own detachments. Harbingers receive "Eyes of Corruption" from the Queen, artifacts that greatly enhance their abilities.
Why they are feared
The Fatui, Teyvat's most powerful military organization. The armies of other nations prefer to avoid direct confrontations with them. Their methods - deception, extortion, experiments - cause rejection among other peoples, which is why they are treated with distrust. At the same time, many ordinary members of the organization do not even know about the true, far-reaching plans of the Tsarina.

The Harbingers of the Fatui are the highest officers and the executive branch within the Fatui organization. They are subordinate only to the Queen Cryo-Archon, the ruler of the Snow Region. In fact, they are the physical embodiments of her will.
What they are
Power and Strength. The queen endowed them with almost unlimited powers. Each Harbinger leads his own unit within the Fatui.
Codenames. Their pseudonyms are inspired by the characters of the Italian "commedia dell'arte" - each has its own established archetype (for example, the Jester, the Captain, the Doctor, the Servant). In different localizations, the approach to translating names is different.
Eyes of Corruption. These are special artifacts that the Queen gave to the Harbingers. They greatly enhance abilities, far more powerful than normal Visions. At the same time, artifacts have a price: they absorb the life energy of the owner.
Goals. The main task is to implement the secret plans of the Tsarina. In particular, collect the Hearts of God (powerful artifacts that give power) from other Archons. More broadly, the Fatui and their Harbingers seek to challenge the order established by Celestia in order to build a "new world". To do this, they do not shy away from manipulation, violence and even experiments.
Autonomy. Harbingers usually act independently, each with their own methods and views. Because of this, conflicts often arise between them.

A total of 11 Harbingers are known. Here are some of them:
Pierrot ("Jester") is a leader, one of the founders of the Fatui, the closest associate of the Queen.
Capitano ("Captain") is considered the strongest in terms of combat qualities.
Dottore ("The Doctor") is known for cruel experiments on humans.
Columbine ("Soubrett") - her past is shrouded in mystery, there are theories that she is a descendant of fairies.
Harlequin (The Servant).
Pulcinella (The Chicken).
Scaramuccia ("The Storyteller") - A former Harbinger who later defected from the organization.
Sandrone ("Marionette") specializes in experiments with automatons.
Signora ("The Lady") - died before the main events of the plot.
Pantalone ("The Businessman") is one of the richest and most influential, responsible for the financial operations of the Fatui.
Tartaglia ("Childe") is one of the most famous, eleventh in the hierarchy.

Celestia is a mysterious floating island in the skies above the continent of Teyvat in the game, which is believed to be the abode of the gods. This is a physical location visible from some points in Teyvat, but is not currently accessible to the public.
Description
Celestia is a system of land masses: the main central rock and seven to eight smaller "satellites" surrounding it. The outer rocks are connected by a ring-shaped structure with bridges and arches.
In the center of the island is a tall white tower, and at the bottom is an inverted dome, indicating that the structure permeates the entire island. On the upper surfaces of the land there are forests and green plains, and underground rivers with gushing springs underground.
Features and status
of the Abode of the Gods. Celestia is believed to be inhabited by powerful beings who surpass the Archons.
Management. It is governed by the Celestial Order (Celestial Principles), which has remained silent since the cataclysm that occurred about 500 years ago.
The Ascension of Mortals. According to legend, only chosen mortals who have accomplished great feats can ascend to Celestia and attain divinity. Two such personalities are known to be Vennessa and Guhua. All those who possess the Eye of God are considered "Origin Gods"—those who have the potential to attain divinity.
Connection with the Archons. The Archons are believed to resonate with Celestia's power directly through their Heart of God, an artifact that symbolizes the Celestial Order's control over Teyvat and all laws.
Partial Vision on the
Continent On the continent, you can see partial elements of Celestia - mysterious pillars: one hanging in the air above Dragonspine, the other in the depths of the Chasm.

Khaenri'ah is an ancient kingdom in the world of Teyvat that existed thousands of years ago and was destroyed about 500 years ago. It was a powerful state, built exclusively by humans, without the participation of the Archons or divine protection. It is called the "pride of mankind".
History and features
The founding of the kingdom dates back to around 3000 years before the events of the game. The first mention of it can be found in the description of the scribe's box on Dragonspine, which speaks of people who are building a "new nation without gods."
Location: Underground Kingdom. Part of its territory is located under modern Sumeru, for example, in the locations "Gavrieh Lajavard" and "Kingdom of Farahkert".
Culture and technology have been developed to a high level. Khaenri'ah developed the art of Khemia, an advanced form of alchemy that allowed for the artificial creation of life. This became a pillar of the region's technological progress, but it also caused a cataclysm and the fall of the kingdom.
Other technologies include the creation of automatons (ruin machines) that could work for hundreds of years thanks to a self-healing system. They imitated various forms of wildlife and performed combat missions. For energy, the substance nitronite, which was obtained from the pure elemental energy of ley lines, was used.
The kingdom had a royal library, but access to some forbidden texts (such as those that required the power and blessing of the Seven Archons) was restricted.

The catastrophe, known as the Cataclysm or Black Tide, was the result of a combination of several factors:
The actions of the alchemist Reindottir (sometimes referred to as "Gold") and her experiments with the creation of living beings.
King Irmin's obsession with harnessing the power of the Abyss and forbidden knowledge.
The intervention of the gods of Celestia.
As a result, Khaenri'ah was destroyed and its inhabitants were cursed. Many have turned into monsters - hilichurls, abyssal mages, messengers, readers. Pure-blooded Kaenri like Dainsleif have been cursed with immortality.
Monsters from the Abyss broke out of the kingdom and spread across Teyvat.
Notable figures associated with Khaenri'ah
Dainsleif is a former captain of the royal guard.
Randóttir is an alchemist and Albedo's teacher.
Pedrolino was a court mage and later one of the Harbingers of the Fatui.
Kapitano is a former commander of the army of Khaenri'ah
Harlequin and is a descendant of the first ruling dynasty, the Scarlet Moon.
Khaenri'ah'ah's legacy continues to influence events in Teyvat.

The Order of the Abyss is a legion of monsters from the Abyss, a mysterious realm of eternal darkness and void that stretches beneath the world of Teyvat. Its members are mostly descendants of the people of Khaenri'ah, who have either been cursed with immortality and turned into monsters themselves, or have been created as such. Their goal is to take revenge on Celestia and the Archons for the destruction of their homeland, overthrow the existing celestial order, and revive the fallen kingdom.
History
500 years before the events of the game, a cataclysm caused by the gods broke out in Khaenri'ah. Most of the inhabitants were cursed with immortality and distorted beyond recognition, and the royal guard turned into the Ghost Husks (Knights of the Black Snake). The survivors discovered the Abyss and, under the influence of the alchemist Gold, who was corrupted by greed and ambition, joined forces with its dark energy. And so the Order of the Abyss was founded.
The founder is considered to be the nobleman Clothar Alberich. After the cataclysm, he met a mysterious creature - the Sinner (Vedrfölnir) - and was amazed by its power. Clothar concluded that the power of the Abyss was capable of reversing Khaenri'ah's curse, and founded the Order, proclaiming the Traveler's missing twin (known as the "Prince/Princess of the Abyss") as its leader.
Structure and Members
The Order has a complex hierarchy:
Abyss Mages are the lowest link. They are able to subdue elemental monsters (hilichurls, slimes).
Heralds and Abyssal Readers are more powerful creatures that serve as warlords and command mages.
The Prince/Princess of the Abyss is the leader of the organization who is revered by everyone.
Also in the Order are the Abyss Lectors, creatures that manipulate the energy of the Abyss and drain elemental energy when dealing damage.

The Order has large-scale plans. One of the key operations is "Weaving Destiny". Within its framework, the Order planned to:
find the eye of the first cultivator;
to defile the consciousness of the defeated Osial;
Use the stolen Anemo Archon statue to create a mechanical deity.
In addition, the Order gathers information about the world and past civilizations to prove that the gods do not belong to Teyvat.
Confrontation
The main enemy of the Order is Dainsleif, who opposes the plans of the Abyss, hunts down and destroys its representatives. The Order also encounters the Traveler, who interferes with their plans.
The Order of the Abyss is not just a collection of monsters, but a force driven by a deep personal tragedy and a desire to completely rewrite the world order. Their path is one of revenge and destruction, but in this darkness lurks the question: who is really the true evil – those who destroyed the entire kingdom, or those who now want to build a new order?

Geography and atmosphere
The city is built on an island in the middle of Cider Lake. Surrounded by mountains and plains, Mondstadt is surrounded by blooming fields of dandelions—a "gift" from Barbatos. Along the roads, you can spot characteristic plants: the Glowweed and the Sugarflower.
Politics and Society
Power in Mondstadt rests with the knightly order Ordo Favonius. Its master is the current knight, Djinn, who acts as the de facto head of state. Anyone who passes a special exam and valiantly serves the city is eligible to join the order. Religion in Mondstadt is separated from power.
Story
Mondstadt's history dates back approximately 2,600 years. At that time, the region was under the rule of Decarabian, the previous Anemo Archon, who ruled with an iron fist and surrounded the city with storm barriers, depriving the inhabitants of freedom. A rebellion was led by a nameless bard, aided by an elemental spirit who later became Barbatos. After defeating Decarabian, Barbatos transformed the region's landscape and climate.
Over time, aristocrats seized power in the city, eventually becoming corrupted. The slave Vennessa led a new rebellion, and with Barbatos's help, the aristocracy was overthrown. Vennessa founded the Ordo Favonius to prevent the return of tyranny.
Cultural events
Mondstadt hosts the annual Ludi Harpastum festival, a 15-day celebration of song, wine, and flight. Also famous is the Windblume festival, during which residents give wind branches to Barbatos and their loved ones, a sort of local Valentine's Day.

Geography and nature
The region stretches across the eastern part of the continent. Its landscape is incredibly diverse: it features rugged mountains, stone forests, vast plains, and vibrant coastlines. The climate offers a vibrant palette of colors year-round.
Liyue's depths are rich in minerals—precious stones and metals. Local artisans craft these into exquisite jewelry, and Liyue merchants are renowned throughout Teyvat.
Notable locations include:
Liyue Harbor is a large port city with unique architecture that combines elements of classical Chinese architecture and port village style.
Bishui Valley with the village of Qingtse, famous for its flower fields, streams and waterfalls.
The Huaguang Stone Forest is a spectacular collection of stone pillars inspired by the real-life Zhangjiajie National Park in China.
Lisha Suburb and the Qiongzi River Estuary.
Luhua Lake is a picturesque location based on China's Huanglong Nature Reserve.
The government structure also reflects the region's values: power is concentrated in the hands of the Qixing faction (including, for example, Ning Guang, Ke Qing, and Gan Yu). They control trade and decide government matters. Security is the responsibility of the Millelites—the local army/police. There is also a separate Department of Civil Affairs.
Liyue has strong traditions and rules, and honoring contracts is considered crucial. The economy is based on trade and mining.
A few details
The name "Li Yue" (璃月, Líyuè) translates as "Glass Moon".
Liyue hosts themed events such as the Sea Lantern Festival.

Geography and nature
Inazuma is an archipelago consisting of several large islands (Narukami, Kannazuka, Yashiori, Watatsumi, Seirai, and Tsurumi) and numerous smaller ones. Each has its own unique landscape and climate:
Narukami - The Great Narukami Shrine and the Sacred Cherry Blossom are located here.
Yashiori - On the island you can see Tatarigami (a giant skeleton left after the battle of the shogun Raiden with the snake) and the military ruins of Tatarasuna.
Watatsumi is more tropical, with a Void People village and Lake Suigetsu.
Seirai is a place where thunderstorms often occur.
Tsurumi is covered in fog.
The weather in Inazuma is changeable: sea breezes, shadows, and torrential thunderstorms can dramatically change the landscape.
Political structure and lore
Inazuma is ruled by the shogun Raiden Ei (also known as Baal). The political system is reminiscent of the actual system of government in Japan during the shogunate (from the late 12th to the 19th century). Supreme power is concentrated in the hands of the shogun, and executive functions are performed by three commissions: Kanjo (regulates trade), Tenryo (manages the army and is responsible for repression, including the hunting of the Eyes of God), and Yashiro.
The Sakoku Decree, a self-isolation policy that keeps Inazuma closed to the outside world, is in effect in the region. This leads to cultural and political stagnation.
An important lore detail: Shogun Raiden strives for eternity (Euthymia) - a state in which the Archon detaches himself from emotions and attachments in order to maintain immutability.
Features of the region
Electro Element. This is the key element of Inazuma. It is here that the Traveler first gains access to the Electro Element through resonance with the Archon Statue.
The Hunt for the Eyes of God. By order of the shogun, a hunt for the Eyes of God—artifacts that grant elemental powers—is underway in the region. They are collected and placed in a statue of a thousand-armed deity. This creates tension and becomes one of the driving forces of the plot.
Resistance. There are forces in Inazuma that oppose the shogunate's policies.

Sumeru is known as the "Nation of Wisdom." Its landscape is diverse, ranging from tropical forests to vast deserts. The capital, Sumeru City, is built atop a giant tree in the jungle.
•Politically, the region is governed by the Sumeru Academy, a center of science and knowledge. It was originally founded by scholars following the previous Dendro Archon, Great Sovereign Rukkhadevata. After her death 500 years ago, the Lesser Sovereign Kusanali (Nahida) took over.
Sumeru City. The capital, home to the Academy and the Surastkhan Sanctuary, where the Lesser Sovereign Kusanali resides.
The Dharma Jungle. Includes Vanarana, home of the forest spirits, the Aranaras, who ask for help in clearing the Withering Zones.
A sea of ​​red sand. The deserted part with the Mausoleum of King Deshret, the village of Aaru, and ruins.
Pardis Dhyay. Greenhouse and laboratory combined with a park.
Oasis of Varukasi. Greenery among the sands.
Interesting facts
The name "Sumeru" comes from the mythical sacred Mount Meru of Hinduism and Buddhism.
Lisa, a librarian from Mondstadt, was once the top student at Sumeru Academy for the past 200 years, but became disillusioned with the "mad scientists" and left the region.
In Sumeru there is an annual festival, Sabzeruz, dedicated to the birth of the Little Queen Kusanali.

The region is located north of Sumeru and west of Liyue. Its territory combines land and water: there are both terrestrial areas (Bellot, Beryl, Cours de Fontaine, Liffey) and underwater locations.
Key features of
the Judicial system. This is one of the most noticeable features. In Fontaine, there is a complex judicial machine - Oratrice Mecanic d'Analysis Cardinal. Its decisions must coincide with the verdict of the Judex (the supreme judge, this position is held by Neuvillet). At the same time, Focalors herself (the former Oceanid, the original Hydro Archon) divided her essence: she left the human (Furina) to play the role of the monarch, and placed the divine one in Oratris.
Prophecy. The region is threatened by the Primal Sea rising and engulfing Fontaine, and its inhabitants will dissolve into the water. The reason is that more than 500 years ago, the previous Archon Egeria disrupted the Heavenly Order by creating humans from the Oceanids.
Culture and inventions. It was in Fontaine that rock 'n' roll, a camera (thanks to which quests with photos appeared in the game) and the newspaper "Steam Bird" appeared.
A few details
There are interesting locations in the region: the fortress of Meropides (an underwater prison), the Opera House "Epicles" (where both court hearings and magic shows are held), the Institute of Kinetic Energy.
Among the characters you can get acquainted with are Furina, Nevillet, Risley, Lini, Navia.

What is special about
him: Element and Archon. The region is dedicated to Pyro (fire). It is now ruled by the Pyro Archon of Mavuika (also known as the Goddess of Resistance).
Tribes. Natlan is organized as a confederation of six tribes: the Children of Echo, the Scions of Cron, the People of the Springs, the Clan of the Flower Feather, the Lords of the Night Wind, and the Collective of Abundance. Everyone has their own way of life, traditions and totem animal.
The Saurians. They are dragon-like creatures that have evolved and live side by side with humans. Each tribe has its own special Zaurians, with whom it is closely associated. The player can temporarily possess the body of a zavrian to use its unique abilities to move through difficult terrain.
Pilgrimage of the Sacred Fire. This is a major tournament in the central arena of the capital. Representatives of each tribe (bearers of the Ancient Name) fight for the right to become the strongest warrior of Natlan. This is not only entertainment, but also a way to select the best to protect the region from the Abyss.
The Kingdom of Night. Natlan has a special connection with this underground realm: when the Natlans die, their souls go there and gradually dissolve into the "sea of souls", losing their individuality. In the culture of the region, there are rituals such as the "Ode to the Resurrection", which allow you to revive fallen warriors if your comrades win.
Phlogiston. In Natlan, the Pyro element takes on a special form, phlogiston. It can be either stone or liquid lava.

Features of the region
Climate and nature. Snezhnaya is a country of eternal snow and ice, with a cold climate, frequent and long blizzards.

The ruins of Hyperborea are the supposed oldest civilization where the Alves were created.

The Eye of God is a magical artifact that allows its owner to control the powers of one of the seven elements: Pyro, Hydro, Cryo, Anemo, Geo, Electro, or Dendro. It is a sign of the gods' favor, a sign of recognition of one as worthy.
Pyro - fire
Hydro - water
Cryo - Ice
Anemo - wind
Geo - stone
Dendro - earth
Electro - electricity

Archons are powerful deities who rule over regions of the world of Teyvat. There are seven of them.
Each Archon is associated with a specific element (Anemo - air, Geo - earth, Electro - electricity, Dendro - nature, Hydro - water, Pyro - fire, Cryo - ice) and embodies a certain ideal in their rule. To maintain a connection with Celestia (the abode of the gods) and wield immense elemental power beyond the capabilities of mortals with the Eye of God, the Archon wields an artifact—the Heart of God (also known in the game as the Gnosis). However, the Archon's status is not absolute: they are subject to the Celestial Order established by Celestia.
Anemo Archon - Barbatos (common name), Lord Barbatos, bard of the winds. Ideal: freedom. Region: Mondstadt. Known in-game as Venti.
Geo Archon - Morax (common name), Lord of Stone. Ideal: Contracts. Region: Liyue. Represented in-game as Zhong Li.
Electro Archon - Raiden Ei (common name), Shogun Raiden. Ideal: Eternity. Region: Inazuma.
Dendro Archon - Buer (common name), Lesser Ruler of Kusanali. Ideal: Wisdom. Region: Sumeru.
Hydro Archon – Focalors (common name), Goddess of Justice. Region: Fontaine.
Pyro Archon - Mavuika (common name), Haborim. Ideal: War. Region: Natlan.
Cryo Archon - Queen. Ideal: presumably love. Region: Snowy.
A few details
Of the original seven who won the Archon War, only Barbatos and Morax remained alive by the start of the game's events.
Sometimes in the lore there are stories about a change of power: the Archon can die or voluntarily leave the throne.
The power of the Archon directly depends on the faith and veneration of his people.

Feofan was born over 400 years ago in Snezhnaya (sometimes described as a "frozen wasteland") to a poor family. His childhood was difficult, and at one point his mother gave him up to be raised by another man. Feofan saw this as a chance to escape his impoverished homeland. He was adopted by a man who inspired the young man's economic ambitions. Feofan attempted to open a business, but the venture went bankrupt.
When Pantalone was 20 years old, his name was Feofan Sergeyevich Veksel, and he was in dire financial straits after a business failure. The gang he had fallen in with betrayed him and sold him to Dottore's medical laboratory as a test subject.
However, instead of continuing his experiments, Dottore, for some unknown reason, spared Pantalone. Instead, he offered a partnership: the scientist helped Pantalone climb the social ladder, and Pantalone, in turn, began funding his research. Over time, Pantalone joined the Fatui and, by the age of 30, became the Ninth Harbinger, earning the title "Dealer." Dottore, who took the name Zandik, had previously studied at Sumeru Academy, where his interest in the concept of "enhanced humans" using radical methods likely led to his expulsion. He later joined Fatui, adopting the ironic title of "Doctor."
Relationships
Their partnership lasted nearly four hundred years. Pantalone provided Dottore with funding, and Dottore, in turn, supplied him with an experimental elixir of immortality, saving his life on multiple occasions. Dottore also helped Pantalone maintain his health: treating his eyesight, performing complex surgeries, and even performing lung transplants. Despite the transactional nature of their relationship (mutual benefit as the basis), deeper feelings are evident in their interactions. Additional materials and plot details suggest that they have developed an attachment to each other, although they don't display it openly. Pantalone smokes heavily, for which Dottore scolds him.

Hair. Dark, shoulder-length hair with a purple ombre and a long strand on the left side.
Eyes. Soft violet eyes, often kept closed due to poor eyesight. He wears silver-framed glasses on a chain adorned with blue gemstones.
Rings. There are five rings on the left hand, and one ring on the ring finger of the right hand.
Clothing: Pantalone wears a fur-lined cloak with long sleeves and dragon-like details (scale-like patterns and wing-like shapes). Underneath the cloak is a black turtleneck with six gemstones near the collar (three on each side) and an additional gemstone in a "V" shape beneath the others.
Hooded cloak. When Pantalone operates anonymously, he wears a hooded cloak that covers more than half of his face.
Peculiarities:
Although Pantalone's chronological age is at least 400 years, he retained the appearance of a 45-year-old man thanks to the elixir of immortality that Dottore gave him.
In some scenes, Pantalone may wear a purple aiguillette.

Main character traits
Pantalone is a complex and contradictory character, combining cold calculation with ambitious, yet sometimes naive, ideas. His personality was shaped by a difficult past: he was born into poverty, bankrupted his own business, and eventually became involved with a criminal gang. These trials gave him a deep mistrust of the gods and a desire to change the existing order.
Key Features:
Cold, calculating, and greedy, Pantalone rarely acts without personal gain. For him, people and circumstances are merely tools for achieving financial and political power.
Obsessed with the idea of ​​"fair exchange," he dreams of breaking the natural inequality between humans and Archons by seizing control of Teyvat's economy. His famous quote: "Man should be the master of money, not its servant."
A cunning and insightful strategist. Possesses a well-developed logical mind and the ability to plan many moves ahead. He knows how to persuade others using rational arguments, even when his plans are based on double standards.
Calm and patient. Unlike many antagonists, he is not prone to emotional outbursts and does not show cruelty to his subordinates.
Double standards. His actions are often dictated by personal interests, and he makes no secret of this, skillfully disguising his motives under the guise of rationality.
Influence of the past
A life of poverty and the absence of the Eye of God (which grants divine favor) have engendered in Pantalone a burning hatred of the gods. He especially loathes Morax, the creator of the mora—the foundation of Teyvat's economy. These grievances largely shaped his path. Role in the organization: Pantalone is responsible for Fatui's financial policy and manages the Bank of the Northern Kingdom, ensuring a stable flow of resources for the organization.
