Stellar Linchpin
Last updated 2026-09-09
Stellar Linchpins are Vision-like objects originating from Snezhnaya. They allow their users to manipulate the elements like Visions. All playable Stellar Linchpin users have Stellar Jubilee Passives that enable Stellar Glimmer Reactions.
According to the Fatui's research, Stellar Linchpins share some sort of relation with the deceased Third Descender. While it is unknown what causes a Stellar Linchpin to manifest, when wielding elemental energy, Stellar Linchpin users often exhibit a unique kind of power that seems to come from beyond Teyvat. It is believed that when one manifests, impurities from the remains of the Third Descender get fixed in place, which is the reason they are called "Linchpins."[1]
The Fatui seek to use the energy of the Stellar Linchpins in Mistilteinn, a weapon they are creating to combat the Heavenly Principles. As the Heavenly Principles is accustomed to fighting the energy of the Light Realm and is the source of the elemental energy of the Human Realm, the Fatui believe using such energies against them would be futile, and thus have turned to the Third Descender's otherworldly power in the hopes that it can threaten them.[2]
