A Noob’s introduction to Genshin Impact
Hello, and this is a noob's introduction to Genshin Impact.
This is Genshin Impact. (*ding*)
This 2020 game made and published by miHoYo using the Unity engine, has taken the world by storm, and if you somehow haven’t heard of it, then prepare to be introduced to the lore in the most absurd way possible.
Set in the world known as Teyvat, you, the player character, are the eponymous “Traveler”, a mysterious dimension hopping traveler (thus the name), stuck in the aforementioned world of Teyvat, due to getting smacked down by an Unknown God, alongside your twin. With your twin missing, you must search for answers in this world of Teyvat.
So, what is Teyvat? Teyvat is a world governed… BY THE GODS!!!
Specifically, there is a floating island known as Celestia, from where the Gods who uphold the vague “Heavenly Principles” live.
Not that they actually govern the world most of the time. The ones who actually govern the world are Gods that are collectively referred to as the “7” (because there are 7). These 7, are the Archons, who are not only gods, they are also the ones who lead the various nations of Teyvat, of which there are 7. Each Archon not only gets a nation to govern, but also gets to call dibs on an element. The old timey elements, there is no archon of carbon.
They are, as follows:
- Barbatos, the Anemo (see wind) Archon of Mondstadt, and God of Freedom (an interesting concept for divinity, but ok).
- Rex Lapis (also known as Morax), the Geo (see earth) Archon of Liyue and God of Contracts (because no matter where you go, there is still going to be a jerk that invents legalism).
- Beelzebul, also known as the Raiden Shogun, the Electro (lightning) Archon of Inazuma, and God of Eternity (a bit ironic for a lightning/thunder god, but ok).
- Lesser Lord Kusanali, AKA Blessed One of Wisdom, AKA Mahakusaladhamma, AKA Buer (goodness, that’s a lot of names), Dendro (plants… don’t think too hard about it)
- Archon of Sumeru, God of Wisdom. Focalors, Hydro (water) Archon of Fontaine, and God of Justice.
- The Lady of Fire, Murata, the Pyro (fire) Archon of Natlan, and God of War.
- And finally, the Tsaritsa, the Cryo (ice) Archon of Snezhnaya, and buggered if we know what she is the God of. (I’ve heard at one point that it was of Love, but that hasn’t been confirmed)
Now, what do these elements actually do? Well, the Archons/Celestia grant the mortals Visions, themed around the elements. These visions take the form of a colored gem, and gives the owner of said vision powers. Which they probably need, since there are many dangers in this world. Treasure Hoarder bandits, Hilichurls that are basically gremlins, the Abyss Order, a faction that woke up, and chose that the foe to defeat is everything that moves, and the Fatui, or as I like to call them, fantasy discount KGB.
So, take the dive into the World of Teyvat, and this has been a noobs introduction to Genshin Impact.
Quick question for my fellow Genshin players. Has anyone ever thought about what an 8th nation would look like on Teyvat? Like what cultures would they be based off? I mean, wouldn’t it cool to see a nation that’s based off Korea or Poland or Medieval Mali? Or is that just me? Share your thoughts.
P.S. If you recognize where the art came from, friend me plz.
Happy Lantern Rite! ( ﾉ╹ヮ╹)ﾉ❁

I’ve been on a Genshin Impact kick and was inspired to draw Yanfei.

My friend doesn't want to hear about my headcannons so time to harass the Internet~
Hear me out: Genshin Daycare. Aka...Everyone but the Archons (plus Nevulliette) as little children.
