Genshin Impact

Key elements of Genshin Impact’s rich lore and world include:

• The Seven Elements: The foundation of Teyvat and its combat system. These are Anemo (Wind), Geo (Earth), Electro (Electricity), Dendro (Nature), Hydro (Water), Pyro (Fire), and Cryo (Ice). Most playable characters wield one of these elements through a “Vision,” a magical gift from the gods.
• The Archons: Each of the seven nations is ruled by an Archon, the god of that nation’s element. The Traveler’s quest involves seeking out these Archons to gain information about their lost sibling.
• Diverse Regions:
  • Mondstadt: The city of freedom, under the Anemo Archon, Barbatos. Inspired by European aesthetics.
  • Liyue: A bustling harbor nation of contracts, under the Geo Archon, Rex Lapis. Heavily inspired by Chinese culture.
  • Inazuma: A secluded island nation of eternity, under the Electro Archon, Raiden Shogun. Inspired by Japanese aesthetics.
  • Sumeru: The nation of wisdom and knowledge, under the Dendro Archon, Lesser Lord Kusanali. Inspired by South Asian and Middle Eastern cultures.
