See also: Timeline

A timeline of historical events in the Inazuma region. References are provided as much as possible. Notes expand on the deduction and reasoning used to draw certain conclusions, which can be read either by hovering over (desktop-only) or clicking on the note. Some specific types of notes found on the page:

  • Lore Discrepancy: When information provided in the game is self-contradictory, retroactively changed, or contradicts information from outside media (such as the manga), it is considered a lore discrepancy. This is different from a translation discrepancy, in which information is contradictory or misleading due to inaccuracies in localization. In the case of a lore discrepancy between in-game information and outside media, the in-game information always takes priority.
  • Translation Note: Used when the original Chinese text and then official English localization do not match, or if something is clearer in Chinese. In the case of a translation discrepancy, the original Chinese text always takes priority.
  • Assumptions: To make sense of the lore — which the miHoYo writers often deliberately obscure by withholding critical information until later versions, giving contradictory evidence, and scattering information across various item sets — editors will sometimes make assumptions to determine the order of events or connect pieces of lore together. However, they may be obsoleted and proven incorrect by new lore and story. These notes serve as a disclaimer, and expand on the editors' reasoning for their conclusions.

If you have any proposed changes for the timeline, please leave a comment and cite your evidence.

First Era

Main article: Timeline § First Era

The term "first era" is derived from The History of the Decline and Fall of Remuria.

War of Funerary Flame

Main article: Timeline § War of Funerary Flame


Enkanomiya

  • Enkanomiya falls into the depths of the ocean and is severed from the surface world.[1][8]
    • Its people prayed to the Heavenly Principles and their Four Shades, but their pleas went unanswered.
  • The people of Enkanomiya clash with the Dragonheir of the Depths, vishaps who fled into the ocean depths after the Heavenly Principles defeated the Seven Sovereigns of the old world. Because there was no light in the ocean depths, the vishaps had a great advantage.[1]

Tsurumi Island

Interim Period

See also: Timeline § Interim Period

While not formally established as its own period in time, Liyue lore indicates there was a stretch of peacetime between the Great War and the Archon War.

Enkanomiya

  • ~6000 years ago[Note 1] ―Soon after the war of funerary flame, Istaroth, the undying wind and one of the Heavenly Principles's four shining shades, is the only one who does not forsake the people of Enkanomiya, as they are able to detect her undying wind from the depths of the ocean.
  • The sage Aberaku (originally known as Abrax) builds the Dainichi Mikoshi (which he dubbed "Helios"), creating artificial light to drive away the vishaps. It is believed that Istaroth granted Abrax wisdom.[1][9]
    • When the people of Enkanomiya attempt to return to the surface a year after building the Dainichi Mikoshi, they are unable to find a way out. They believe this "power of prohibition" to be the work of the Heavenly Principles and conclude that the Heavenly Principles emerged victorious.[1][8]
  • A cabal of corrupt nobles[10] manipulates the people of Enkanomiya into worshipping the Dainichi Mikoshi as a god, and chose a child to be the Sunchild and rule over the land.[11] The Sunchildren were puppet rulers controlled by these nobles. Abrax, and later Spartacus (Supada no Hiko), opposed the corrupted nobles only to be imprisoned by the Sunchildren.[1][10]

Archon War

Main article: Archon War

?–2000 years ago

Note: The term "Archon War" is a catch-all term for the various, scattered conflicts across Teyvat to determine who would become one of The Seven, which arose as a result of the creation of the Gnoses. Due to the timeline's ambiguity, this section also includes events after the Celestial Nails were cast down.

  • >3700 years ago[Note 2] — Seven divine seats in Celestia open up, causing the gods to become embroiled in a bitter struggle for supremacy.[12]
    • Many gods fought for the sake of their ideals for a prosperous humanity. "That which lurks within and animates this relic are the divine remains of lamenting gods. They are unrealized ideals, designs for a prosperous humanity that could never be."[13]
    • During the Archon War, the infighting amongst gods was but one cause of conflict in Teyvat; other creatures and entities also sought to expand their domains, taking advantage of the chaos to encroach on the continent.[14]
  • During the Archon War, Ei conquered many youkai races,[15][16] and the youkai under her banner used their powers to help humans seek refuge in the mountains and build a city by the sea, thus marking the beginning of Inazuma.[17]
  • >2000 years ago ― Ei slay all the gods she defeated and unified all the tribes, bringing all of Inazuma's islands under her rule.[7][18][16]
  • Ei, although the stronger fighter, believed Makoto to be better-suited for the role of Archon and sacrifices her body so Makoto can ascend to Celestia. Makoto becomes the first Electro Archon, the God of Eternity[19][Note 3][Lore Discrepancy 1]
    • Makoto uses her new powers to recall Ei's divine will and reforge her body. Ei becomes her kagemusha (body double),[19][20] and most people in Teyvat gain the impression that there was only one god, Baal (also referred to as the Narukami Ogosho, Raiden Shogun).[Note 4]

Tsurumi Island

  • ? years ago ― The inhabitants of the island began gathering the Thunderbird’s shed feathers and worshipping her, though she paid them little mind. The people learned to use the Maushiro to locate one another amidst the fog, and they both feared and revered the bird. However, the Thunderbird gave them no heed, seeing them as no different from other animals.[4]

Enkanomiya

  • >2000 years ago[Assumption 3] ― The seal isolating Enkanomiya weakened,[8] allowing the arrival of Orobashi, a god fleeing from the Archon War after being defeated and abandoning his people, committing a grave sin in the process.[18]
    • It was revealed that since Orobashi had contacted with the people of Enkanomiya, both Orobashi and Watatsumi as a whole were found guilty of four counts of profanity and eight counts of deceiving living souls. Orobashi was allowed to take all of their transgressions on itself and sacrifice itself so its people would be spared and taken under the rule of Celestia once again.[2]
    • Orobashi was found by a child in The Serpent's Bowels, who begged him to become his god. Orobashi accepted, overthrew the Sunchild's reign, freed his people, protected them from dragons, and prepared them to return to the surface by divine decree.[9][21] After which he became known as "Orobashi no Mikoto" and the "Watatsumi Omikami" (Great God of the Oceans).[22]
    • Orobashi supposedly stayed with the people for a while before leading them back to the surface. He used his power to bolster the Dainichi Mikoshi to have stronger light, and eliminate the threat of the Dragonheirs of the Depths.[9][23] It also supervised the research of the Dragonheirs, now called Bathysmal Vishaps.[24]
    • The Divine Priestess was chosen among the sea-daughters who collected pearls,[25] and was likely the origin of the Sangonomiya Clan. Other clans like the Yuna Clan also originated from Enkanomiya.
    • Orobashi had its people adapted to Narukami Island's language and culture to be prepared for a new life above the sea.[24]
    • On the last day of Enkanomiya before the people relocated above the sea, envoys from Khaenri'ah along with a Ruin Guard came and stole the book Before Sun and Moon, a book that Orobashi personally placed a ban. Antei fought them and prevented the loss of the book, but was also critical injured.[26]

Watatsumi Island

  • Orobashi creates Watatsumi Island out of the coral that grew from its body, allowing them to live above the surface once more as part of the Inazuma archipelago. For years, they lived peacefully, respecting the border with the Shogunate.[7]
    • Orobashi's people call this land Sangonomiya, and themselves the Sangonomiya Clan. They begin calling Byakuyakoku, "Enkanomiya," to contrast it with Sangonomiya.[21]
    • During this brief period of peace, Ei, Makoto, Kitsune Saiguu, Mikoshi Chiyo, and Sasayuri would occasionally gather for picnics and celebrations before the throne.[27][28][29]
    • The legendary tanuki Tsukumo embarked on his famous journey through eighteen sites of Inazuma, one of which was Watatsumi Island, where he took the form of Akuou.[30]

Yashiori Island

  • >2000 years ago[Assumption 3] ― After years of famine, Orobashi’s people urged him to invade the fertile Yashiori Island. Though he refused at first, fearing Narukami’s power, he eventually yielded to their pleas and suffering, seeing it as a way to fulfill his sentence.[18][7]
    • The forces of Watatsumi, led by Orobashi, Akuou, and the twin generals Mouun and Ayame,[31] invaded the island and took control of the ancient city Mumei, with Akuou becoming its vassal ruler.[32]
    • When news reached Narukami Island, war erupted between Watatsumi and the Shogunate, led by Ei.[33]
      • During the conflict, Akuou fought and slew the Great Tengu Sasayuri,[34] a dear friend of Ei, and in a fit of rage, Ei unleashed the Musou no Hitotachi slaying both Orobashi and Akuou in a single strike and splitting Yashiori Island in two.[35][32][36]
    • The war was so devastating and blood-soaked that the city of Mumei was destroyed in battle,[37][38] and the sea turned crimson with blood.[31]
      • Mouun, along with the mighty whale Daikengyou, attempted to retreat but were ambushed and slain by the tengu under Sasayuri’s command, while Ayame perished and vanished into the sea of blood.[31]
    • From Orobashi’s resentment was born the Tatarigami, so Ei created wards called Narukami Pillar to seal his soul and suppress his hatred. The Higi Village was founded and the Yashiori Guardians led by the Kitain Clan took up the mantle of suppressing the Tatarigami.[39][40][41].
    • With the Shogunate’s victory, Watatsumi Island came under the dominion of the Electro Archon. Ei allowed its people to continue worshiping their god, marking the end of the Archon War in Inazuma.[7][42]

Post-Archon War

2000–500 years ago

  • -2000 years ago ― The Archon War comes to an end as the final divine seat in Celestia is claimed, cementing the positions of The Seven's original members.[43][44] Defeated gods who refused to live under The Seven's rule fled to islands in the Dark Sea, where they became evil gods.[45]
  • Because Inazuma lies close to the Dark Sea, the Shogunate has been drawn into numerous wars throughout the years.[46]

Tsurumi Island

  • >1500 years ago[Note 5] ― Ruu is born among the people of Tsurumi Island and makes preparations to participate in the rituals to the Thunderbird. While practicing his singing, the Thunderbird overhears him and is captivated by the sound of his song. Ruu attempted to befriend the god and give her the name "Kanna Kapatcir," as the Thunderbird had forgotten her own name. They promised to meet each other again in the future.[4]
    • However, as the situation on the island worsened and many islanders left only to never return — which people took as a sign that they had died, when in actuality they had settled onto the other islands of Inazuma — Ruu volunteered to be sacrificed, believing this would please the Thunderbird and bring the missing people back.
    • Instead, she becomes enraged upon witnessing his death, viewing his sacrifice as the killing of innocents and a promise broken, and retaliates by destroying the area and killing the entire tribe. To hear Ruu's singing again, she uses her powers to cause a ley line disorder, resulting in the entire island continuously reliving its day of destruction.[4][47]Afterward, the Thunderbird flies over to Seirai Island.[4]

Seirai Island

  • 1500 years ago ― Sometime after arriving at Seirai Island, Kapatcir wreaked havoc upon Seirai Island, destroying much of it and leaving the city of Hiraumi in ruins. To protect her people, Ei hunted and killed Kapatcir as a "monster"[47] atop Amakumo Peak, who viewed her as an "obstacle to progress."[48]

Narukami Island

  • ? years ago ― The Kitsune Saiguu moves from the Hakushin Lands to the Grand Narukami Shrine.[52]
    • At some point in time, the Kitsune Saiguu defeats the Great Tengu in a race, and the Great Tengu becomes her bodyguard thereafter.[28]
    • The Kitsune Saiguu and the bake-danuki Ioroi often compete with each other. One day, Saiguu decides to trick both Ioroi and Baal at the same time: she challenges Ioroi to pluck a Naku Weed from the Tenshukaku gardens. When Baal catches him in the act and nearly kills him for it, Saiguu comes to his rescue and persuades Baal into not only sparing him, but also putting him under her command as the Hidden Protector of the Grove, the protector of Chinju Forest.[28][53]

Pre-Cataclysm

>500 years ago

Cataclysm

See also: Timeline § Cataclysm
Main article: Cataclysm

500 years ago

  • Monsters from the Abyss invade the aboveground world of Teyvat, causing widespread devastation.[63]
  • The Kingdom of Khaenri'ah is destroyed by the Heavenly Principles,[48] causing the fall of the Eclipse Dynasty and the entire civilization.[66] Khaenri'ah's destruction causes a devastating ripple effect.[67]
  • Kujou Shigeyori built the fortress and established the Kujou Encampment on the battlefield front in Kannazuka.[68]
  • Takamine the Mistsplitter and Mikoshi Chiyo are among those who campaigned alongside Ei (acting as the Raiden Shogun) against the dark forces that emerged during the cataclysm.[58][62]
    • Takamine is eventually overwhelmed by the monsters and disappears, despite his determination to return to Asase Hibiki's side.[69]
    • Chiyo is swallowed whole by a "beast of sin" with a tiger's body and a snake's head. Though she manages to tear the beast apart from the inside out, she is stained by its deep sin.[70]
  • Chiyo turns her blade on Ei, only to be defeated and driven away. This betrayal tarnishes the Mikoshi Clan's reputation.[70]
  • The Kitsune Saiguu is consumed by the dark forces and most of her memories are dissolved into filth.[28] The uncorrupted remains of her memories eventually manifest as Hanachirusato.[73]
  • During Khaenri'ah's destruction ― Makoto leaves Ei behind to defend Inazuma, and Makoto alone goes to Khaenri'ah, where she is slain.
    • When Ei arrives to Khaenri'ah, she finds Makoto dying in her arms. She enters Makoto's mind and hears Makoto's last words. Ei decides to save Makoto's realm of consciousness and bring it back to Inazuma.[48][74]
  • When Ei returns to Inazuma, she finds that the Sacred Sakura miraculously appears at the top of Mt. Yougou, although according to everyone else, the Sacred Sakura has existed for ages. Ei eventually accepts that the tree is the result of the miracle surrounding Makoto's consciousness while also surmising its sudden growth was the work of Istaroth, one of the Four Great Rulers.[65]
    • The Sacred Sakura's power help Ei to overcome the monsters and quell the disaster in Inazuma.[65]

Post-Cataclysm

500–100 years ago

  • After the cataclysm ― Ei officially takes up the position of Electro Archon after Makoto's death. As she was Makoto's kagemusha and adopted Makoto's titles as her own, most are unaware of the original Archon's death.[75][76]
    • Disillusioned with Celestia after witnessing the events at Khaenri'ah,[20][75] and in her grief on the losses she sustained over the course of the cataclysm, Ei decides to attain "eternity" by creating a puppet in her likeness. She first experiments with the technology and creates her first prototype, which takes the form of a young male vessel.[75] After seeing him shed tears after his creation, Ei decides he is too delicate to handle the Gnosis and instead seals his powers and leaves him to live his own life. Now armed with the knowledge of how to create puppets, she makes several other failed products, before abandoning her quest to create a new vessel to house the Gnosis entirely.[77]
    • Ei establishes the Tri-Commission, composed of the Tenryou Commission, the Kanjou Commission, and the Yashiro Commission, which oversee all matters in Inazuma.
    • The survivors of Araumi chose not to return, and the city was completely abandoned.[78]
    • Hiiragi Hiroshi of the Kanjou Commission built the prosperous Ritou port.[79]
    • A ritual involving the worship of both the Raiden Shogun and Orobashi is developed. This ritual must be performed before starting any other ritual. The Sacred Sakura Cleansing Ritual is also developed at some point, presumably after the aforementioned ritual.[80]
    • Alice visits Inazuma, where she meets the young girl in charge of the Grand Narukami Shrine, Yae Miko.[39]
    • The Yougou Three part ways, never to reunite:[59]
    • Mikoshi Michihiro, Chiyo's biological son, goes into seclusion in the forests near Konda Village out of shame over his mother's actions.[62]
    • The Great Tengu, enraged at her own inability to protect the Kitsune Saiguu, departs from the mortal realm and leaves behind her daughter, Teruyo.[58]
  • ? years ago ― Michihiro meets Teruyo when she finds him in the forest. She bestows him with the name "Iwakura," and he is thereafter known as "Iwakura Michihiro."[62]
    • 13 years later ― During their tenth duel, Michihiro finally catches Teruyo. Teruyo gives him the title "Tengu Victor" and decides to disappear from his life to focus on her responsibilities to her clan.[62]
  • ? years ago ― Takamine the Mistsplitter somehow emerges from the Abyss after disappearing from Teyvat for many years. He encounters Asase Hibiki, whom he still recognizes, but she immediately kills him.[61]
  • ? years ago ― The pirate Ako Domeki Zaemon of Seirai Island leads a rebellion against the Shogunate. Hibiki, who is reminded of Takamine when she sees him, decides to assist his cause and later uses the magic she learned from the Tengu to release the seals over Seirai Island. This releases the lingering hatred of the Thunderbird,[60] whose power — manifesting as a massive Electro storm at the center of the island — fragmented Seirai island and swept both the Shogunate and Ako Domeki's ships far from the island.
    • The Shogunate evacuates the people of Seirai Island and moves them to Narukami Island. Although the area immediately surrounding Asase Shrine is unaffected by the Thunderbird's hatred, the shrine is left abandoned save for Neko and the other cats residing there.
    • Iwakura Michihiro develops the Iwakura Art sword style and becomes the sword instructor for the Kujou Clan, receiving the title "Douin."[62][83][Assumption 6]
      • After Michihiro develops the Tengu Sweeper techniques, Ei creates a series of Maguu Kenki puppets as failed prototypes, specifically modeled after Michihiro's fighting style and memories, as part of her quest to create a perfect puppet.[84][Assumption 7]
  • ? years ago, after the creation of Maguu Kenki ― Ako Domeki defeats a Maguu Kenki doll and steals it for himself.[85] The ship carrying it, however, somehow gets lost and becomes shipwrecked on the Golden Apple Archipelago.[86] While the sailors eventually manage to escape the archipelago alongside the original islanders, the puppet is left behind.
  • ? years ago ― Ioroi, having been tricked by the Kitsune Saiguu into staying away from the conflicts of the cataclysm, believes her to still be playing hide-and-seek. Unable to get her to show herself, however, he begins breaking the kitsune statues around Narukami Island and in one, finds an important-looking comb and steals it. The Shogunate learns of Ioroi's antics and dispatches Harunosuke, who had returned to Inazuma, to deal with Ioroi. Harunosuke seals Ioroi and many of the bake-danuki into stone statues.[53][87]
    • Sometime later, Harunosuke performs a Minor Cleansing with the help of Hanachirusato.[87]
  • ~400 years ago ― Ei ultimately creates a puppet known simply as "the Shogun," intended to rule Inazuma based on the guidelines for "eternity" she had set. After giving the Shogun the relevant information about herself, Ei discards her physical form to enter the Plane of Euthymia, in which she will meditate for all eternity to stave off erosion.[88][89] Before entering the Plane of Euthymia, she gives her Gnosis to Yae Miko.[75]
  • ~400 years ago ― Ei's first prototype puppet awakens in Shakkei Pavilion, having no name for himself and only a feather as proof of his connection to the Raiden Shogun.[90] He is found by Mikoshi Nagamasa's yoriki, Katsuragi, and joins the group consisting of Armory Officer Niwa Hisahide, Inspector Mikoshi Nagamasa, Katsuragi, Kinjiro, Nozomu, and Vice Armory Officer Miyazaki in Tatarasuna.[77] Others in the group refer to him as the "Kabukimono" (Japanese: 傾奇者 meaning "wandering eccentric").
    • The Kabukimono is well received by the people of Tatarasuna, teaching him various skills, including forging swords. He becomes good friends with the people of Tatarasuna.
    • Nagamasa forges his crowning achievement, the Daitatara Nagamasa. In their joy, Nozomu makes a painting of the nagamaki while Katsuragi and Kabukimono perform a sword dance.[91]
    • A Fontaine mechanic, Escher, comes to Tatarasuna to collaborate. He implements some technologies to the Mikage Furnace, but this ended up releasing dangerous Tataragami and poisoning the people of Tatarasuna, and caused the Mikage Furnace to spew lethal doses of Tatarigami.[90][92]
    • Niwa sends people to Inazuma City for aid from the Shogunate, but none of them returns. Then Kabukimono is sent to Inazuma City for aid, but is rejected by the Shogunate because earlier in the same year, Ei's Shogun has activated and she has entered the Plane of Euthymia. Then Kabukimono asks for help to Yae Miko, who does send aid to Tatarasuna, but they were all shipwrecked. Kabukimono is unaware of this, and considered that the Shogunate had abandoned Tatarasuna.[93]
    • Meanwhile, Niwa confronts Escher, who then murders Niwa and reveals himself to be Il Dottore.[90] He then, as Escher, lies to the people of Tatarasuna, claiming that Niwa fled Tatarasuna. When Kabukimono returns empty-handed, Escher told him that he has been tasked to disable the furnace, giving him a device to help absorb the miasma. After Kabukimono successfully disables the furnace, Escher reveals that inside the device was "a heart that Niwa took from the chest of one of his men," but in truth, Dottore had taken Niwa's heart and placed it into the device. Kabukimono, horrified of this, grows disdain for Niwa and humans, and leaves Tatarasuna.
    • With Niwa's disappearance, Nagamasa, the second-in-command, becomes responsible of the events in Tatarasuna. Katsuragi is willing to face capital punishment in place of his master, and thus Nagamasa cleaves Katsuragi with the Daitatara Nagamasa before throwing the blade into the furnace.
    • Nozomu throws himself into the furnace to save the blade but later dies from the wounds he sustained; Kinjiro afterwards hides the remains of the blade as well as Nozumu's painting in the Arsenal.[91] Both Nagamasa himself and the Daitatara Nagamasa are thereon known as the Katsuragikiri Nagamasa (Katsuragi-Slashing Nagamasa).
    • After Kabukimono leaves Tatarasuna, he encountered a sickly child who is affected by the Tatarigami, his parents, likely workers of Tatarasuna, died of the same cause. Kabukimono and the child makes a promise to stay together forever.[94] But the child dies young due to the Tatarigami. Kabukimono enraged by this, burned the child's house down.[95] His hatred towards gods and humans grows further.
    • After the events above, during his wanderings in Inazuma, Kabukimono names himself Kunikuzushi (Japanese: 国崩 lit. "Country Destroyer").
      • As a result of Scaramouche removing all information about himself from the Irminsul in Inversion of Genesis, various aspects of the Tatarasuna incident and the fall of the Raiden Gokaden are vastly altered. All instances of Kabukimono or Kunikuzushi are entirely removed from history, and is replaced by entirely new characters. Dottore still caused the incident, but there is a "brave swordsmith" of the Hyakume Clan who rushed to the scene. He and Niwa both sacrificed themselves to disable the furnace, but neither of them survived.[96]
  • At some point, the Sacred Sakura takes on the shape of a kitsune head[48] as a result of the kitsune's care for the Sacred Sakura.[74][Lore Discrepancy 3]

Recent Past

<100 years ago

  • ~100 years ago ― To enact his revenge against the "bladesmith," Kunikuzushi masterminds the fall of the Raiden Gokaden, eradicating three of the five schools before losing interest in and abandoning his project.[77][97] His revenge involved instigating a famous swordsmith, Akame Kanenaga, to betray Inazuma;[98][99] because swordsmithing and the Raiden Gokaden are viewed as a cultural institution, they were under the jurisdiction of the Yashiro Commission. As a result, their inability to prevent the situation dealt a large blow to the Kamisato Clan.[100]
    • Yae Miko, predicting that the Kamisato Clan would play a major role in Inazuma's future events, intervened in the Kamisato Clan's judgement before the Raiden Shogun and spared them from punishment.[97]
    • The Kaedehara Clan's head at that time, Kaedehara Yoshinori, stops doing the smithing due to the fearful of Scaramouche's claim.[101] His son Hisamichi attempts to revive the Isshin Art, but to no avail.[102] Eventually, the Kaedehara Clan's fortune keeps regressing, and when Yoshinori's great-grandson, Kazuha, becomes the head, the clan has collapsed.[103][104]
    • As a result of Scaramouche removing all information about himself from the Irminsul in Inversion of Genesis, various aspects of the Tatarasuna incident and the fall of the Raiden Gokaden are vastly altered. All instances of Kabukimono or Kunikuzushi are entirely removed from history, and is replaced by entirely new characters. From Kunikuzushi being the one who masterminds the fall of the Raiden Gokaden, instead, a descendant of the "brave swordsmith" of the Hyakume clan is the one who masterminds it. When the descendant got to the Kamisato and Kaedehara clans, they retaliated, and killed the descendant.[96]
  • 30 years ago ― Tejima arrives in Konda Village and settles there, using his vision to protect the villagers from both internal and external threats.[105]
  • 10 years ago ― Thoma gains his Vision when, after being advised by Kamisato Ayato to leave on account of the Yashiro Commission's succession crisis, he nonetheless chooses to continue serving the Kamisato Clan.[106]
  • 1 year ago ― With the Fatui pulling the strings and manipulating the Tenryou Commission and Kanjou Commission,[107][108] the Shogun suddenly institutes the Sakoku Decree to shut Inazuma's borders and the Vision Hunt Decree — an order to seize all Visions within its borders.[109] Furthermore, since then, no new Electro Visions are known to have appeared, though preexisting Visions can still be used.[110] While Ei is aware that the Fatui are behind this, she does not deem them a threat towards Eternity and does not intervene.

Present

Notes

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 All Celestial Nails are implied to have been cast down simultaneously after the Heavenly Principles won the great war of vengeance. Therefore, this takes place at the same time as the creation of The Chasm, which happened 6000 years ago.
  2. ↑ Occurred at some point before the destruction of Guili Assembly 3700 years.
  3. ↑ In Radiant Sakura, Makoto confirms that her ideal is also eternity, that "Eternity extends time into infinity, dreams illuminate each moment within." Ei comments that Makoto's understanding of eternity is much more profound than her, leading to her "no longer pursuing an eternity defined by stasis." In Wishes in Chapter II: Act III - Omnipresence Over Mortals, Yae Miko points out that Makoto "in each moment cherished the beauty of what was before her."
  4. ↑ While Baal is Makoto's Goetic name and Ei's is Beelzebul, Zhongli refers to Ei as "Baal" in The Fond Farewell and Venti and Zhongli's Voice-Overs about Ei are both titled "About Baal." Given that they are aware of the distinction between Makoto and Ei, it is presumed that they continue to use Makoto's title for Ei out of respect for the twins' decision.
  5. ↑ It is mentioned that Thunderbird wreaked havoc on Seirai Island 1000 years before the Khaenri'ah cataclysm 500 years ago.

Lore Discrepancies

  1. ↑ According to Yae Miko in Wishes, Makoto and Ei "won the Archon War together," whereas Treasured Tales indicates that Ei technically "lost" the Archon War by sacrificing her body so Makoto could ascend. Based on current prevailing in-universe sentiment that the Archon War had a "last man standing" rule, and lore about Boreas choosing death so he would not become the Anemo Archon, the wiki assumes Treasured Tales' account is correct.
  2. ↑ Mask of the Kijin reveals that the preceding materials in its series regarding Torachiyo were all distortions of Chiyo's story. Torachiyo did not actually exist.
  3. ↑ Although Yae Miko claims that she pruned the tree and shaped it like a Kitsune, she immediately clarifies that it was a joke. Therefore, it is also likely that the tree changed shape after the spirit of Makoto became it.

Translation Notes

Editors' Assumptions

  1. ↑ Probably also part of the unified civilization.
  2. ↑ Celestia is depicted in one of the murals below the island, and the object fits the description of the nail.
  3. ↑ 3.0 3.1 It is unclear when exactly Orobashi fled to the Dark Sea and later created Watatsumi Island, or when it was defeated. Orobashi peacefully lived under Baal's rule for a while, which means it was alive after Makoto ascended to Electro Archon, but it was stated to have died during the Archon War. This indicates that both Makoto's rise to Electro Archon and Orobashi's death occurred before the official end of the Archon War 2000 years ago.
  4. ↑ 4.0 4.1 In New Chronicles of the Six Kitsune: Prologue, the chief editor (Yae) tells the author "'I wasn't even born yet when she left,'" to which the author writes, "And I was still in my youth back then." Based on New Chronicles of the Six Kitsune (V), "she" refers the Kitsune Saiguu and the place she left was the Hakushin Lands.
  5. ↑ In both Character Teaser - "Raiden Shogun: Nightmare" and Story Teaser: Promise of a People's Dream, which depict other events in chronological order, the Kitsune Saiguu's death during the Abyss' attack is depicted before Makoto's death in what appears to be Khaenri'ah. From this, it can be assumed that the Abyss attacked Teyvat before The Seven were involved in Khaenri'ah. However, this does not exclude the possibility that the gods in Celestia attacked Khaenri'ah first.
  6. ↑ Because Hiiragi Hiroshi claims Michihiro could rival Ako Domeki with his swordsmanship skills, this implies that Ako Domeki had already grown powerful and influential by the time Michihiro became the Kujou sword instructor.
  7. ↑ The Maguu Kengou is an emissary that fights in Ei’s name, so it’s logical to assume she created it. Given the similarity between the Maguu Kengou and the Maguu Kenki, it’s likely that Ei also created the latter. The Maguu Kenki was designed using the sword techniques of Iwakura Michihiro, the son of the oni Mikoshi Chiyo, who was a close friend of Ei. This doesn’t mean that Michihiro was its creator, but rather that it was Ei’s attempt to preserve her friend’s legacy and strengthen Inazuma.
