This page or section is in need of cleanup.
It needs to comply with the Genshin Impact Wiki's quality standards.
It may be disorganized, difficult to reference, have problems with styling or layout, have ambiguous information, or more.
Please help improve this page if you can.
References between Timeline and Nation History subpages need to be standardized to follow the Manual of Style, and need a standardized ref name to prevent errors in the References section.

A very rough estimation of the timeline of the Genshin Impact universe, incorporating historical records, myths, and folk tales. A constant work in progress; take information given with a grain of salt.

To view the timeline by nation, see Region Histories and click on the respective nation's page.

Note: Due this article's size, timelines for specific regions are directly taken from their History subpages. As a result, information related to multiple nations may be duplicated, and updates to their information must be made on those articles.

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.

Old World

  • All elemental beings come from the Light Realm, also known as the Vishap Realm.[1][2] Dragons and Vishaps are the dominant species, led by the Seven Sovereigns under Nibelung.[3][4]
    • Each of the Seven Sovereigns holds one of the seven elemental Authorities, and they are the strongest dragon of their respective element.[5][6] The world is divided among them, and their respective land is attuned to their elemental affinity.[7]
  • Seutervoinen, a voyager who traverses the sea of stars and meditated for ten millennia, sensed Nibelung's presence on Teyvat. She tells him that the world will be destroyed and urged him to leave with her. However, he refused to abandon his people, and instead attempts to lead the dragons to the stars, leading them to develop advanced space technology.[8][9]
  • Nibelung creates the Three Moons of Teyvat and raises them from the surface of the planet.[12][13]
    • Nibelung leaves Teyvat and puts the three Moon Goddesses in charge of governing the world in his absence.[14]
  • While exploring the Frost Moon, dragon pioneers receive a signal from a faraway civilization, originally thought to be a message sent back by Nibelung. The Eye of Ibni-Belum is constructed to recapture the signal.[15]
    • Years later, the signal appears again and its coordinates can be located. Ungien boards the Moongazer and sets out to find the signals source. When returning, he is found to be fusing with an unknown alien creature and is able to transmit an alien civilizations warning about darkness spreading across the cosmos
    • Project Moongazer is launched, intending to send similar messages to other civilizations. Research begins on a technology to cloak Teyvat from the universe.[16]

Sumeru

Main article: Sumeru/History § Old World
  • Apep is the Dendro Dragon Sovereign. She resides in Sumeru, where she rules the land and nurtures some of the most ancient and primordial beings, known simply as Dendro Lifeforms.[4]
  • The Irminsul grew as the first fern to sprout within the lush verdant world of Apep’s court, stretching freely toward the sky.[17][18]

Fontaine

Main article: Fontaine/History § Old World
  • During the Seven Sovereigns' era, the Primordial Sea was located on the surface of the world. Most of Teyvat's lifeforms originate from the Primordial Sea due to its unique properties.[19]
  • The Hydro Dragon Sovereign is said to be the "beating heart" that ruled the Primordial Sea, and could be considered the original "God of Life," as all life on the planet can trace its origins back to the Primordial Sea.[19] Because of this, it is sometimes referred to as "birthing waters" or "amniotic fluid."[20] Life within the Primordial Sea was a collective rather than made up of individuals.[21]

Natlan

Main article: Natlan/History § Old World

When the Doves Held Branches

  • The Heavenly Principles descend on Teyvat and take a portion of the Seven Sovereigns' elemental Authorities for themselves.[6] They create the Four Great Rulers of themselves to help fight the Seven Sovereigns:
  • Before the dragons can finish constructing the Lunar Veil to obscure the Frost Moon, it is destroyed by the Heavenly Principles. Project Moongazer is suspended[16]
  • Lusalim surrenders the results of his research on cloaking technology to the Heavenly Principles.[27] It is implied[Note 1] that these results are then used by the Heavenly Principles to create a False Sky that they envelop around Teyvat, isolating the planet from the rest of the universe.[7][10]
  • 40 years after the Heavenly Principles appears — The Heavenly Principles and their Shades emerge victorious over the Seven Sovereigns, and the world falls under the control of the heavens while the Sovereigns' subjects escape to the oceans. The Heavenly Principles begins creating heaven and earth for the sake of humanity and their creations soon after.[7]
    • This leads to the existence of the Human Realm created by the Heavenly Principles.[1][2]
    • The Heavenly Principles assumes control over the three moons.[8]

Sumeru

Main article: Sumeru/History § When the Doves Held Branches
  • Apep's Dendro Authority is stolen by the Heavenly Principles.[6]
  • The Irminsul was usurped and refashioned by the Heavenly Principles, transforming into a device meant to record and preserve all information within Teyvat, determine the world’s fate, and maintain the cycle of erosion.[18][28]

Fontaine

Main article: Fontaine/History § When the Doves Held Branches

Natlan

Main article: Natlan/History § When the Doves Held Branches
  • Xiuhcoatl's Pyro Authority is stolen by the Heavenly Principles and he is left frozen in lava, falling into a state of false death.[10][6]
    • At some point, the Silver Prince Kukulkan assumes the position of Regent over the dragon civilization in Natlantea during Xiuhcoatl's absence.[29]

First Era

The term "first era" is derived from The History of the Decline and Fall of Remuria. All events take place at an unknown time in the past but allegedly predate Morax's birth, which was over 6,000 years ago.

  • 400 years after the Heavenly Principles appeared — The Heavenly Principles finished preparing the world for humanity's arrival. They and Naberius created all animal life, and humanity creates a covenant with the Heavenly Principles. The Heavenly Principles creates a "sacred plan" for humanity, an era referred to as the "Ark's Opening." Humanity tends to the land, which flourishes, leading to a period known to the Enkanomiyans as the "Year of Jubilee."[7]
    • The Prayer artifact sets — Prayers to Springtime, Prayers for Illumination, Prayers for Destiny, and Prayers for Wisdom — describe a time when the earth was once covered by raw elements — unending ice, flames, lightning and water. Envoys of the gods made the earth more hospitable for humanity and dwelled among them, while humans could communicate with Celestia directly. The white Irminsul trees, connected to the ley lines in the earth, held great importance in the religious rituals of these ancient civilizations.
    • Life during this era is described as one of abundance and seemingly endless prosperity, and divine envoys with direct connections to Celestia dwelled among humanity.[7][30] The Four Shades are among the divine envoys.[21]
    • Once upon a time, the people of the land could hear revelations from Celestia directly. The envoys of the gods walked among benighted humanity then.[31][32] In those days, life was weak, and the earth was blanketed in unending ice.[31] The eternal ice had just begun to thaw, and the first fires were still new.[32] [...] the ancient flames were extinguished amidst the first falling rains.[33] [...] the waters ran dry as thunder first pierced the skies.[34]
  • The nature of the world Celestia created was cyclical; humanity would thrive and prosper under Celestia's blessings before coming to an end, and then the earth would be renewed, and the cycle would begin again.[31] However, humanity was not meant to know this, so the heavenly envoys remained silent when people questioned how long their prosperity would last.[32][33]
    • To receive answers from Celestia, the people appointed chief priests who, wearing a crown made of Irminsul branches, would head to the depths of the world to attain enlightenment.[32][33]
  • Eventually, humanity grew prideful and ambitious and challenged the gods' authority. They sought to take the heavens for themselves and control their destinies, which angered Celestia and the heavenly envoys.[30][33]
  • The Three Moons reside in the Lunar Palace, changing places three times a month to ride around the heavens in a silver carriage.[35][36][Translation Note 1]
  • Around this time existed the Angels (who would eventually turn into the Seelie), a race with beautiful, humanoid forms and great wisdom. They dwelled across the world and were tasked with guiding humanity. They built a large and prosperous civilization across the world and erected large palaces.[37][38][39][Translation Note 2]

Mondstadt

Main article: Mondstadt/History § First Era
  • The civilization of Arcadia was established in the vast oak forests of Mondstadt as part of Teyvat's unified civilization.[40]
  • A group of people seeking refuge from a land of snow and strife find a bountiful and green mountain now known as Dragonspine. They erect a monument on its peak and establish a civilization there, naming it Sal Vindagnyr, and the mountain Vindagnyr. Over time they built a large and extravagant castle on the mountain.[45][46][47]
    • Starsilver is an ore that is native to Vindagnyr, as the Snow-Tombed Starsilver was created long before Durin crashed onto the mountain.[46]
    • The civilization has a large white tree of great significance, and the princess is born under this tree. Her mother, the priestess, passes her blessings on to the princess, which include the ability to foresee events in the future.[45]
    • At some point later, the princess has a dream of Durin spreading poison upon the land. The people fear that this prophecy is a curse upon them.[48]
    • For some unknown amount of time, Celestia is moored above the mountain of Vindagnyr.[49]

Liyue

Inazuma

Fontaine

Main article: Fontaine/History § First Era
  • Towards the end of the "first era" — likely the era established after the Heavenly Principles's rise to power — humanity begins to covet things that belongs to Celestia and attempt to break away from their fates.[53]
  • The people are eventually punished by having their cities destroyed by tsunamis and then buried underwater after 100 days of rainfall, which "drowned all sin and arrogation" and forces humanity to rebuild civilization all over again.[53]
    • Sybilla, a divine envoy tasked with guarding an Irminsul tree, remains as the sole survivor of the flood.[54][55]

Snezhnaya

Main article: Snezhnaya/History § First Era

War of Funerary Flame

Main article: War of Funerary Flame
  • Seutervoinen returns to Teyvat only to find Nibelung missing, with the Heavenly Principles now in control of the world. Seutervoinen decides to cast her consciousness into the body of a boy in Hyperborea. Koitar falls in love with Seutervoinen, and together they pledge an oath of union to rebel against the Heavenly Principles.[8][37][56]
  • Nibelung discovers Abyssal power and brings it to Teyvat, and wages a "great war of vengeance" against the Heavenly Principles.[4][6][10]
    • According to Records of Jueyun, a "sudden disaster" that caused worldwide devastation struck just 30 days after the pledge of union between Seutervoinen and Koitar, which may be related to Nibelung's war.[37]
  • Nibelung imprisons the Three Moons, transforming the moons into weapons of destruction to fight against the Heavenly Principles.[57]
    • The Heavenly Principles shatters both the Eternal Moon and the Iridescent Moon, while flinging the Frost Moon beyond the False Sky.[57]
  • ~6000 years ago[58][Note 2] — The Heavenly Principles emerges victorious and casts down the Celestial Nails to purify the land of Teyvat from Abyssal corruption.[59][60]
    • The Heavenly Principles forbids knowledge of the history that predated this war.[61]
    • Koitar and Seutervoinen attempt to flee, but are punished by the Heavenly Principles with eternal separation and a curse that robs them of their memories.[37][38][59]
      • The remainder of the Angels are similarly punished, turning into the small spirit-like Seelie that are seen today.[35][39][59] Cursed to forget their pasts, they pursue the memories they have left by guiding travelers to their old dwelling places, the Seelie Courts.[37]
        • Not all Angels withered away into Seelies; a few managed to retain their humanoid forms. After the fall of the Angels, a certain wolf-king (possibly Boreas) would meet one of its remnants who had not yet withered away, and befriended her.[38] It is possible she is the "ancient god" from whom Boreas gained his god-like power.[62]
        • A survivor of the Angel race, heavily implied to be Nabu Malikata, went on to befriend Greater Lord Rukkhadevata and King Deshret.[60][63][64]
      • The Three Moons witness the disaster that befalls Koitar and Seutervoinen from afar and mourn their fate. For unknown reasons, their silver carriage is "overturned" while the "hall of stars" is destroyed. The Three Moon Goddesses are killed, with the Eternal and Iridescent Moons destroyed, while the corpse of the Frost Moon remains intact beyond the false sky.[35][65]
        • The wolves in Teyvat have a connection to the Three Moons and mourn their fate.[35]
        • The lost civilization that created the Spiral Abyss has heavy connections to the Three Moons.[66]

Sal Vindagnyr (Dragonspine)

Main article: Mondstadt/History § Sal Vindagnyr (Dragonspine)
  • The Skyfrost Nail descends from the skies, shrouding the city with clouds and snowstorms.[67] One day, it shatters into three fragments, one of which turns the Irminsul tree into the Frostbearing Tree.
    • The princess gives the outlander Imunlaukr the Snow-Tombed Starsilver greatsword, after which he departs in search of a branch of Irminsul in hopes of saving the nation. While he was away, she prepared the fourth fresco in the mural room to preserve his likeness and await his return.[46][68]
    • While the princess works on a fresco, her father, the priest, climbs the mountain in search of guidance as the trees begin to wither. He hopes that her third painting will depict the melting of the snow, but she is ultimately unable to complete it.[69][70] The princess then takes the most complete branch and attempts to graft it onto another tree. However, the branch withers, and she dies beside it.[45][46]
    • Imunlaukr returns, finding everyone dead. Greatly aggrieved and disillusioned, he left his greatsword between the frescoes and descended the mountain. Consumed by confusion and folly, he sought a land filled with war and strife he could lose himself in battle.[46][71]
      • He shattered snow-covered mountains with his spear and brought ruin to three thriving kingdoms, leaving vast lands desolate and countless survivors wandering the wastes. The survivors of the ruined lands subsequently regarded Imunlaukr as the sworn enemy of their fallen peoples and hunted him relentlessly. For the warrior who had claimed a craving to entertain the gods with strains of strife and blood, this was the moment he finally ceased longing for salvation and turned away from the life of a warrior forever.[72]

Liyue

Main article: Liyue/History § War of Funerary Flame
  • >6000 years ago — Morax, a god with dominion over Geo, is born.[73]
  • ~6000 years ago, while Morax was young — After the destruction of the Eternal and Iridescent Moons, the Heavenly Principles casts down a Celestial Nail on Lang-Gan for the purpose of cleansing Abyssal corruption. Zibai, unwilling to leave her people to die, intervenes to temporarily stop the Nail, allowing the inhabitants of Lang-Gan to escape. Zibai dies from her attempt to stop the Nail and Lang-Gan is ultimately destroyed; however, Istaroth manages to preserve her soul by freezing her in the moment of her death and inbuing the fragments of her shattered soul into her Three Deadly Selves.[50][74]
    • The impact of the Celestial Nail leads to the creation of The Chasm, with the remains of the Nail remaining deep underground as the Spiritstone.[75][76]
      • In alternate existence of the event, the creation of The Chasm is instead ascribed to the fall of the Solar Chariot. The veracity of the Solar Chariot's existence or the details of its relation to the Celestial Nail is unknown.[75][58]
    • The inhabitants of Lang-Gan move to Chenyu Vale.[77][74]

  • Enkanomiya falls into the depths of the ocean and is severed from the surface world.[7][61]
    • 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.[7]

  • Sometime following its defeat, the original Hydro Dragon withers away.[3][84][Assumption 4]
    • According to the Oceanids, Egeria is created as the Primordial Sea's new heart by Naberius the Ruler of Life. Despite being created by a "ruler of humans," Egeria is created entirely from material originating from Teyvat.[21]
    • No new Hydro Dragon can be born so long as Egeria resides within the Primordial Sea.[85]

Natlan

Main article: Natlan/History § War of Funerary Flame

Snezhnaya

Main article: Snezhnaya/History § War of Funerary Flame
  • As per her agreement with Nibelung, Seutervoinen casts her consciousness into Teyvat once more, only to find the dragons' power supplanted by the Heavenly Principles. Unwilling to disturb the new rulers, she takes possession of the body of a boy in Hyperborea in order to observe humanity up close.[8]
    • At some point, the people of Hyperborea anger the angels by "questioning the progress of knowledge." As the priests argue about how to quell their wrath, Seutervoinen joins the conversation and goes even further, questioning the very laws of Teyvat itself. Exasperated, the chief priest sends him to Irminsul to plead his case before the first angel, Koitar.[86]
    • Seutervoinen tells Koitar of his identity as an interstellar voyager, shocking her with the revelation of a life beyond the Heavenly Principles' rule. In return, she reveals the secrets of Teyvat's creation, and the two become lovers, resolving to oppose the gods together. This "betrayal" is quietly observed by the Moon Goddesses, who begin to nurse "a longing still more audacious."[56]
    • The Snowland Fae are created by artisans of Hyperborea using "forbidden methods" taught to them by the first Seelie, Koitar.[59]
  • The remnants of a fourth moon that "failed to materialize" falls down into the sea, eventually forming the region of Nod-Krai.[13]
    • Due to the nature of its origin, the power of the moons (later known as kuuvahki) permeates Nod-Krai. Over time, the local flora and fauna adapt to its presence, with some changing in appearance and gaining the ability to manipulate it.
  • ~6,000 years ago[Note 2][Note 3] ― Thirty days after Koitar and Seutervoinen meet,[87] the Golden City of Hyperborea is destroyed by a Celestial Nail.[59]
    • Only the then-goddess of the Frost Moon, Canon, takes pity on the scattered survivors. She guides them to Nod-Krai, where they establish a new home on Hiisi Island and name themselves the "Frostmoon Scions" in her honor.[88]
    • The Frostmoon Scions continue to hold on to their faith long after Huurrekuutar's death, believing that she would eventually be reborn among them. To this end, they begin a long-term eugenics project to maintain a pure bloodline that would one day produce this "sacred heir."[89][90]

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 of Vengeance and the Archon War.

Invalid Transclusion

Liyue

Guili Assembly

Main article: Liyue/History § Guili Assembly
See also: Guili Assembly

Note: The two main sources of information about the Guili Assembly, Stone Tablet Compilations: Vol. I and the World Quest Treasure Lost, Treasure Found, currently contradict each other on whether Guizhong or Morax descended on the land first and which one moved to the area afterwards. Because Stone Tablet Compilations has more information corroborated by other in-game sources,[Note 5] the wiki will assume it has the correct version.

  • ? years ago — Morax descends on the region of Liyue, where he raises Mt. Tianheng, quells the seas, and lowers the tides.[93] To pacify the seas, he defeats many sea monsters including one beast known as Baqiu.[94] Jueyun Karst was created in such a way at an unknown point in time, with the water being drawn into an underground reservoir.[95]
  • ? years ago — Guizhong, the Lord of Dust, befriends Morax. At some point, she and her people move north of Mt. Tianheng for reasons unknown. Morax and Guizhong establish the Guili Assembly, which derives its name from the first character of Guizhong's name, and one character of Morax's (using his name at the time, which is unknown).[96] This civilization spanned the area between Mt. Tianheng and Stone Gate. It was extremely prosperous, flourishing under the trades of agriculture and mining,[93] and became a trading hub.[95]
    • Guizhong establishes four commandments to guide her people:
      "To unite in ambition is to be steadfast and immovable for all time."
      "Wisdom is like water, it nourishes all those who receive it and in it is a reflection of the truth."
      "Fortify the bones, that movement be supple when the time comes."
      "Virtue grows tall like a tree, though there be shade it will flourish forever."[96]
    • Guizhong and Cloud Retainer, among other adepti, create the Guizhong Ballistas to defend the Guili Assembly from external threats.[93][97]

Lisha Civilizations

Main article: Liyue/History § Lisha Civilizations

Note: It is unknown whether the Sea God truly existed or whether he had any link to the Lisha region, but his story and the legends regarding Lisha seem to have some relation.

  • ? years ago — Early civilizations in the Lisha region of Liyue are established at Dunyu Ruins, Lingju Pass, Qingxu Pool. At some point either before or during the Archon War, the civilizations at Lingju Pass and Qingxu Pool were destroyed and submerged underwater, only reemerging after the end of the Archon War.[98]
    • Legends say that these ruins predate the Geo Archon's rule over Liyue. The whole of Lisha was covered by water at the time of the Archon War, and back then this rocky outcrop was nothing more than a little islet that rose above the water's surface. After peace was restored, the region of Lisha unfurled once more as the tides withdrew, revealing the ancient buildings erected by the early peoples.[98]
    • What [Soraya] told me was that these ruins were left behind by an evil god, whose name has been wiped from the record, and its people. But in the end, the sea gave way to forests and fields, the self-serving god was defeated, and the strongholds and temples of the ancient city the god's people once built were left to crumble. That is how Qingxu Pool came to be. The ruins were submerged until the long Archon War finally came to an end, emerging on the landscape as the tide subsided."[98]
  • ? years ago — The Sea God gives his people a year without storms and tsunamis in exchange for a human bride. After many generations, one such bride — whom he had permitted to return to the surface world — caused the destruction of her village after she asked for the Sea God's aid when her daughter was to be taken away from her to be offered as his bride.[99]
    • "The Sea God looked majestic indeed as he sat center stage in his giant clam, holding in his hands the reins of two sea serpents. They stood as imposing as Mt. Tianheng before the royal carriage as their master accepted the gifts of pearls from the village elders and welcomed his new bride aboard the carriage. In return, the village would receive the Sea God's blessing: a year free from tempests and tsunamis."
      [...] The Sea God responded to the call, rising up from the billowing waves to greet the village. But his embrace was a tidal wave that engulfed the village, and took the villagers and elders in their sleep.      [99]

Chenyu Vale

Other Regions of Liyue

Main article: Liyue/History § Other Regions of Liyue
  • ? years ago — Havria, the God of Salt, establishes her domain in Liyue; the original expanse of her territory is unknown, but it included Sal Terrae.[100][101] She was known for being gentle and kind-hearted, but weak.[102] It is theorized that Liyue's flower ball wedding tradition may have derived from Havria's act of handing out bunches of flowers to her followers.[101]
  • ? years ago — The village at Wuwang Hill is established. It would exist in relative peace until some time after Liyue Harbor was established, after which the bewitching song of a whale-like sea monster (potentially the Oceanid Rhodeia of Loch, considering the monster's physical description and current location) led all the youths of the village to their doom, and its elders died with no one to carry on the village.[103]

Sumeru

Main article: Sumeru/History § Interim Period
  • According to legend, King Deshret was a "son of the sky,"[104] but he was born after the fall of the Seelie and the Three Moons and only learned of their stories from an unspecified woman (likely Nabu Malikata or Greater Lord Rukkhadevata).[105][Lore Discrepancy 1]

Fontaine

Main article: Fontaine/History § Interim Period
  • According to legend, the first Oceanid is born after Egeria sheds the "first tear," which later gives birth to all other Oceanids. Egeria bestows a task to the Oceanids "to seek an understanding of the diverse array of species and to love every creature."[106]
    • To fulfill Egeria's desire to connect everyone in the world, the Oceanids disperse across the waters of Teyvat to act as "spies." However, Rhodeia of Loch denies any ulterior motive on Egeria's part.[107]
  • Some Oceanids soon desire to live on the surface, having seen and envied human life. Not wanting to refuse her followers, Egeria decides to fulfill their request by taking water from the Primordial Sea and pouring it into the Oceanids' "blood" vessels, thus creating humanoid forms for them to walk on land.[108]
    • Celestia deems Egeria's "act of life" a sin and sentences her to be sealed for her crimes. At some point, Fontainians learn of a prophecy claiming that water levels would rise and eventually, the people of Fontaine will be dissolved in order to wash their sins, reverting into what they once were.[108]

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 6] — Seven divine seats in Celestia open up, causing the gods to become embroiled in a bitter struggle for supremacy.[96]
    • 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."[109]
    • 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.[110]

Mondstadt

The Age of Kings

Main article: Mondstadt/History § The Age of Kings
See also: Decarabian's Mondstadt

?–2600 years ago

  • >2600 years ago[Note 7] ― Boreas declares war on Decarabian, but fails to land even a scratch on Mondstadt.[111] The war between the two Kings of Ice and Frost[112] turns into a stalemate,[Assumption 5] and Decarabian's people begin to view his rule as one of despotism and tyranny.[113]
    • The Gunnhildr Clan abandoned its fortress in Windrest Peak seeking refuge from Boreas' blizzards inside Decarabian's city. However, Gunnhildr's father, the clan's leader, grew disillusioned by Decarabian's despotic control and led his people out of the city. Struggling to survive the blizzards and cold outside the city, the clan built a shrine high atop a cliff in the east in the Thousand Winds Temple, where they prayed for Istaroth's mercy and protection,[114] which the wind spirit later known as Barbatos heard.[113] Gaining power from the clan's faith, the wind spirit was able to give them a small shelter.
    • A boy only known as the Nameless Bard befriends the tiny and insignificant wind spirit. The boy dreamt of seeing birds in flight, green grass, and the world outside the city.[115]
    • The first wines are brewed in Old Mondstadt when a certain mischievous wind spirit takes the form of a fox and ferments some apples under a negligent guard's care. When the guard awoke, he bit into one of those apples and, finding that he enjoyed the flavor, squeezed the sack that contained the apples to create wine.[116] Also brewed in ancient times was a wine said to make a person forget the past, used so the people could have the strength to keep surviving.[117]
    • Inside Old Mondstadt, people who grew discontent with Decarabian's rule began planning a resistance. The "Windblume" was used as a code word amongst the resistance, with the Red-Haired Warrior among the first to use this codeword.[118]
    • Leonard the Adventurer invents the wind glider. His life goal is to scale Pilos Peak (now Musk Reef), but he fails his attempt and is forced to turn back. He writes the book "Of Mountains and Seas" as an account of his journey.[119][Assumption 6]
    • Boreas realizes that his blizzards could not nurture life and decides that between his powers and his disillusionment with human society,[120] he did not have the qualifications to become one of the Seven Archons.[121] He chooses to allow his physical body to die while his powers flowed into the land of Mondstadt to nourish it.[122] Despite losing his original physical form, Boreas' spirit remains extant and his powers are still strong enough that he can manifest a body of ice and wind.[123][Assumption 7]
  • 2600 years ago ― Decarabian's people rise up in rebellion, led by the Nameless Bard, Barbatos (then known as the "elf" or "wind spirit"), Decarabian's former lover Amos, Gunnhildr, and the Red-Haired Warrior.[124] The Gunnhildr Clan, also participate in the battle.[113]
    • Decarabian is slain in the battle, as are Amos[125], and his death unleashed a violent tempest that threatened to destroy everything in its path. The Nameless Bard then played his lyre to protect the people from destruction, performing a melody that belonged to Istaroth and transforming the storm into a song that would endure for thousands of years, known as Mondstadt. However, the Nameless Bard was unable to withstand the power usurped from Istaroth, dying as the tower fell and becoming forgotten by the people of Mondstadt.[126][127]
    • With Decarabian's death, Barbatos is elevated to godhood himself and becomes the Anemo Archon.[127][128] In the moment ascended Barbatos as the Anemo Archon, he quietly claimed a "strand of time" and preserved the Nameless Bard's lost name: Venti.[126][Note 8]
    • The Red-Haired Warrior, for reasons unclear, turns his back on Barbatos and his name is eventually forgotten by the people of Mondstadt, though his deeds are still remembered. He eventually has a family that would eventually produce Ragnvindr and the Ragnvindr Family.[118]
  • Using his powers, Barbatos reshapes Mondstadt, using his winds to blow away the snow and ice covering the land and terraforming the region of Mondstadt in the process.[127][129] Among the notable changes to Mondstadt's landscape was the eradication of Pilos Peak, which was turned into the modern-day Musk Reef.[119] He then takes his people from Decarabian's old city and moves to Cider Lake, where they build the modern city of Mondstadt. Prominent clans among them are:
  • Afterwards, the Thousand Winds Temple was rebuilt to worship both Barbatos and Istaroth until she was eventually forgotten for unknown reasons.[114][134]
  • ? years ago, after the establishment of Mondstadt ― Seeing that his people had enough wisdom and strength to live on their own, Barbatos departs so he would not be able to become a tyrant.[135]
    • The Windblume Festival is established in memory of those who fought for freedom during Decarabian's reign. The codeword Windblume became conflated with literal flowers,[118] while the festival became one about finding love.[136]

Liyue

The Fall of the Guili Assembly

Main article: Liyue/History § The Fall of the Guili Assembly
  • ~4000 years ago [Note 9]— Xiao, whose true name is yet unknown, is born.[139] An evil god discovers his weakness, using it to enslave him and force him to perform cruel and violent acts. During one battle in the Archon War, the two ran afoul of Morax, who defeats the evil god and liberates the enslaved adeptus, bestowing the name "Xiao" onto him for his protection. Xiao afterwards becomes one of the Yakshas to repay his debt to Morax, and in this role is known by the Yaksha call sign "Alatus."[140]
  • 3700 years ago[141] — One particular battle occurs in the Guili Assembly — despite being a nation protected by Morax, Guizhong, and the adepti, it ravages Guili Plains and causes landslides that transform Dihua Marsh from a fertile islet into a swamp. Guizhong is also slain in the process.[93][96] The exact cause of its destruction is unknown and many theories exist among Liyue folklore.
    • >10 days later[142][Translation Note 3] — Following the fall of the Guili Assembly, Morax, Marchosius, and the adepti lead their people south of Mt. Tianheng, where they establish Liyue Harbor. Morax creates a contract with the adepti to defend it.[97][143]
    • The Millelith Brigade is established to protect the people and defend against monsters.[93][144]
    • Morax teaches his people how to create houses, using Mora to create a model home. He also establishes minted Mora as Liyue's currency, for convenience.[145][Note 10]
    • After creating Liyue Harbor, Morax decides to wage war against the other gods, seeing it as the only way to restore order and protect humanity.[143][146]
      • "He sought celestial order, to stay the tide of turbulence.
        Adepti rallied round him, yaksha guardians charged ahead,
        Frightened by the courageous people the demons fled."        [146]
      • "I wish not for dominion, yet I cannot watch the common people suffer."[143]
  • December 2, >3000 years ago — Sometime either before or during the Archon War, Ganyu is born. She later participates in the war to protect Liyue Harbor, signing a contract with Morax.[147]
    • There are no details on when exactly she was born, however it is speculated that Ganyu may have been alive during the Guili Assembly era based on the wording in her third Character Story.[148]
    • During one battle, Ganyu — who was much more rotund during this time — unintentionally chokes a monster to death when it underestimated her girth and tried to eat her. This incident has led her to maintain a strict diet in order to keep a slim physique.[149]
  • >2000 years ago — Morax hears the pleas of Azhdaha, a blind Geo elemental dragon who dwelt beneath the mountains of Nantianmen. He takes pity on the dragon and takes it aboveground, bestowing sight upon it with just a touch. They form a contract, where Azhdaha agrees not to endanger humanity in exchange for living alongside them. Azhdaha then aids Morax in battles across Teyvat.[150][151]
  • 3700–2000 years ago — The following events presumably occur sometime between Liyue Harbor's establishment and the end of the Archon War. The events are listed in a tentative chronological order, but there is no confirmation on when exactly they occurred relative to the present.
    • During a certain battle in the Archon War, the opposing god slashes Mt. Tianheng, creating a crack in the mountain's foundation and threatening to collapse on the village at the base of the mountain. To prevent this, the adeptus Skybracer has a friend cut off his antlers — a gift from Morax himself, made of his divine essence and thus the hardest material in Liyue — and uses them to prop up the mountain. This act causes the mountains to elevate higher than it had been originally. Skybracer then continues to fight until he dies from blood loss, his blood turning into the Bishui River.[152] The people who lived at the base of the mountain held him in high regard for this action, even more so than Morax.[153]
    • Havria, whose gentle nature and weak martial prowess put her at a disadvantage during this brutal era, futilely attempted to peacefully resolve the conflicts that erupted. Realizing it was too late for anyone to stop, she turned her efforts to creating a place of refuge for humans displaced by these wars.[101][102] However, due to her relatively weak powers, she stood no chance against other gods and chose to make concession after concession, until she lost all her lands besides Sal Terrae. There, she created a small city with her followers — but they, seeing that she had no chance of surviving through this war, decided to give her a swift and painless end rather than consign her to defeat at the hands of other gods. However, the power that surged from her body after her death salinified the city and its inhabitants, while her own body withered away into a small salt flower.[100]
      • Her followers who managed to escape salinification were scattered across Liyue after the loss of their god and home. Many went to Liyue Harbor and eventually became Yinyuan Hall of the salt industry, one of the Eight Trades. Some descendants of those people, fearing Havria cursed them for their ancestors' betrayal, risked their lives to enter Sal Terrae and break the sword used to kill her. By the time of the present, however, Havria's story has been twisted among the people of Yinyuan Hall, and they now believe she was a powerful god who was assassinated by Morax out of envy.[100]
    • Morax defeats many gods and sea monsters at Guyun Stone Forest, including the ancient god Osial, by throwing down massive stone spears to pin them to the ocean floor,[154][155][156] and using Sigils of Permission to seal them. The resulting stone formation, when viewed from above, takes the general shape of his own Geo symbol.[95]
      • ~2600 years ago[Assumption 8] — Chi (in the ancient language, Qingce) makes its nest in the area now known as Mt. Qingce and takes over the region.[157] Morax fights it at a "great height" and succeeds in subduing it.
        • In fantastical Liyue legends, although Zhongli (Morax) reveals they are merely the product of people's imagination,[158] Chi and its nest transform the area around Mt. Qingce into its current state after its death — its body turns into stone, its blood becomes water, and its scales turn into terraced fields. Even after its death, however, Chi's power seeps into the land, creating the Blood-Fed Trees and suspicious orange stones at Bishui Plain that poisoned the area. To suppress its power, Morax seals its remains in five different locations with Geo Seals and water to prevent its revival.[159]
        • People during this time used images to record major events, purportedly because writing had not yet been invented.[159] The veracity of this claim is dubious since the ruins at Guili Plains use written language, although it is possible that Chi was defeated long before the seals to contain it were created.
      • While combating the other gods and sea monsters, Morax used a variety of methods to combat them: along with massive stone spears (pillars), he also summoned meteors,[160] a Geo Whale,[94] and stone birds.[161]
    • The original village at Wuwang Hill falls after a whale-tailed monster leads the youth to their death.
  • ? years ago — The bodies of the gods and monsters Morax defeated over the course of the Archon War were compressed, decomposed, and became part of the earth, while the gods' spirits lost their senses of self and were no longer capable of holding personal grudges.[162] However, their lingering hatred and resentment still remained, creating miasmas, curses, and monsters. Morax summoned the yakshas, a certain subset of the adepti, to aid him in suppressing these manifestations of evil gods. They carried out this duty for some thousand years, even after the Archon War ended.
  • ? years ago — An unknown doctor takes the frontline in eradicating the karmic disease caused by the corpses of the malevolent gods whom the Yakshas had slain. The negative karma had become a pestilence that spread across Liyue. The bodies of the infected humans only furthered its spread, "as the dead were a breeding ground for the disease".[165] The Rite of Homa prevented further spread by cremating corpses which, eventually, caused the epidemic to come to an end. Furthermore, the pioneers of this practice were the founders of what is now known as Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.[165] The practice and parlor have been passed down from generation to generation. The quote of the family is "only an unbound flame can purify this world."[166]
    • The rite conducted by the staff clears the corpses of traces of evil karma so they are able to free themselves and carry on to the afterlife. Their spirits take the form of an ashen butterfly. The doctors (who eventually became the directors of Wangsheng) have never had any regrets due to their altruistic lifestyle, and as such pass on without regrets, also in the form of a fiery butterfly.[167]
  • >2000 years ago[Assumption 9] — After suppressing all other gods in his region, Morax becomes the Geo Archon, restoring peace to the land now known as Liyue.

Inazuma

Main article: Inazuma/History § Archon War
  • During the Archon War, Ei conquered many youkai races,[168][169] 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.[170]
  • >2000 years ago ― Ei slay all the gods she defeated and unified all the tribes, bringing all of Inazuma's islands under her rule.[80][171][169]
  • 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[172][Note 11][Lore Discrepancy 2]
    • Makoto uses her new powers to recall Ei's divine will and reforge her body. Ei becomes her kagemusha (body double),[172][173] 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 12]

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.[52]

Enkanomiya

  • >2000 years ago[Assumption 10] ― The seal isolating Enkanomiya weakened,[61] 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.[171]
    • 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.[1]
    • 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.[174][175] After which he became known as "Orobashi no Mikoto" and the "Watatsumi Omikami" (Great God of the Oceans).[176]
    • 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.[174][177] It also supervised the research of the Dragonheirs, now called Bathysmal Vishaps.[2]
    • The Divine Priestess was chosen among the sea-daughters who collected pearls,[178] 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.[2]
    • 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.[179]

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.[80]
    • Orobashi's people call this land Sangonomiya, and themselves the Sangonomiya Clan. They begin calling Byakuyakoku, "Enkanomiya," to contrast it with Sangonomiya.[175]
    • During this brief period of peace, Ei, Makoto, Kitsune Saiguu, Mikoshi Chiyo, and Sasayuri would occasionally gather for picnics and celebrations before the throne.[180][181][182]
    • 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.[183]

Yashiori Island

  • >2000 years ago[Assumption 10] ― 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.[171][80]
    • The forces of Watatsumi, led by Orobashi, Akuou, and the twin generals Mouun and Ayame,[184] invaded the island and took control of the ancient city Mumei, with Akuou becoming its vassal ruler.[185]
    • When news reached Narukami Island, war erupted between Watatsumi and the Shogunate, led by Ei.[186]
      • During the conflict, Akuou fought and slew the Great Tengu Sasayuri,[187] 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.[188][185][189]
    • The war was so devastating and blood-soaked that the city of Mumei was destroyed in battle,[190][191] and the sea turned crimson with blood.[184]
      • 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.[184]
    • 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.[192][193][194].
    • 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.[80][195]

Sumeru

Main article: Sumeru/History § Archon War
  • Nabu Malikata, Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, and King Deshret befriend each other and become known as the God-Kings of Sumeru.[63][81][196]
  • At some point in time, Nabu Malikata foresaw the coming of the cataclysm. She creates a shard of Khvarena and leaves it in the care of Greater Lord Rukkhadevata.[197]
  • Rukkhadevata would turn the shard into the divine bird Simurgh. She charged Simurgh with "the guardianship of the border between new birth and death".[197]
  • King Deshret defeated many gods, including Heryshaf, Sobek, and Thoth, who submitted to him and entered his service as part of the Seven Pillars.[198][199][200] Meanwhile, gods unwilling to serve him, such as Remus, chose to abandon Sumeru and follow the path of wandering.[201]

Ay-Khanoum

Main article: Sumeru/History § Ay-Khanoum
  • Nabu Malikata, King Deshret, and Greater Lord Rukkhadevata — collectively known as the three God-Kings of Sumeru — build Ay-Khanoum, the "City of Amphitheaters." Its name means "City of the Moon Maiden" in the ancient language of the Jinn.[202][203]
    • Nabu Malikata is said to have an "amicable relationship" with the Jinn.[203]
    • According to some legends, King Deshret captured the Jinn in magic bottles marked by his seal, although the Jinn were also his willing servants in his cause of conquering the world. He created Ay-Khanoum as a city for the Jinn, while they created the entrance to the Mausoleum of King Deshret.[202][Lore Discrepancy 3]
  • Nabu Malikata dies "due to the malice of the burning sun and yellow sand"[203] and the city of Ay-Khanoum is presumably engulfed by a sandstorm and later abandoned.[204][205]
    • Nabu Malikata desired a "spectacular death" so that the bitterness of her death would preserve her legacy forever. King Deshret, who was enamored with her, never realized this,[206] sending him into an obsessive spiral over the shared vision the three God-Kings once had.[207]
    • The "promised land of 'Valivija'" is buried by the desert sands, which may correspond with Ay-Khanoum.[204]
    • Following the death of Nabu Malikata, King Deshret and Greater Lord Rukkhadevata parted ways to create their own civilizations.[204][208][Lore Discrepancy 4]

Dharma Forest

Main article: Sumeru/History § Dharma Forest

Note: Events in this section are currently assumed to be concurrent with King Deshret's Civilization and Gurabad.

  • After separating from King Deshret, Greater Lord Rukkhadevata comes to the East of the Great Red Sand and creates the Varuna Contraption that terraforms part of desert into a rainforest.[208][209][Note 13]
    • At the border between the forest and the desert, the Wall of Samiel was erected to prevent the forest from undergoing desertification.
    • After the forest labyrinth was created, the lord of the forest Viaghara was born from the moon's reflection on the water, resembling a tiger in shape.[210]
  • With the help of her followers, who would go on to establish the Amurta Darshan of Sumeru Akademiya, Rukkhadevata developed a flourishing rainforest. Sumeru City was built on the Divine Tree, a particularly massive tree located in Sumeru's forest region, and the sages of Sumeru Akademiya assisted Rukkhadevata in managing the nation's affairs.[211]
  • Rukkhadevata also created the Aranara, small plantlike creatures with the ability to control dreams.[212]
  • Thousands of years ago ― Rukkhadevata briefly returns to the desert to help rescue King Deshret's people from the effects of forbidden knowledge, and creates the Akasha System to help combat it by uniting the people's wisdom.[213] However, the endeavour exhausts much of her strength and shrinks her into the stature of a child.[214]

King Deshret's Civilization

Main article: Sumeru/History § King Deshret's Civilization
  • While Rukkhadevata creates a rainforest in a corner of the desert, Deshret continues ruling over the Great Red Sand.
  • Thousands of years ago ― King Deshret eventually succumbs to the "poison" of forbidden knowledge.[105][214][Lore Discrepancy 5]
    • The forbidden knowledge brings calamities upon Sumeru. "People's minds were filled with crazed whispers, dark gray scales spread across their bodies, even the land was stripped of its vigor."[214]
    • King Deshret asks Greater Lord Rukkhadevata for help, for the sake of their mutual friend.[105] The Lord of Verdure gathered the priests, instructing them to build temples and creating Aaru Village as the last bastion of Deshret's civilization. She also expended a great deal of her power to suppress forbidden knowledge and regressed into a childlike form. Even this, however, was not enough; in the end, Deshret sacrificed himself to finally put an end to it.[214]
  • King Deshret's civilization fell and splintered into many smaller, human-led city-states.[215][216]

Gurabad

Main article: Sumeru/History § Gurabad
  • The vassal city-state of Gurabad rises after the death of Nabu Malikata, during what is known as the vassal states era.[204][217][Lore Discrepancy 6]
    • The story of Gurabad is first known with the vassal king Ormazd Shah, who founded the city after defeating Huvashtra the Tyrant with the grace of King Deshret and the help of the Jinni Liloupar, whom he would end up marrying.[218] Ormazd had 301 kins, with one of them being Shirin, the half-fairy daughter of him and his wife Liloupar, the latter's three prophecies and three admonitions would later doom the city of Gurabad and most of its inhabitants.
      • Liloupar, feeling betrayed by her husband's descent into tyranny, orchestrate the events leading to the destruction of Gurabad and decides to use her children to achieve her goals.[219]
      • Liloupar would then have a son named Kisra, whom she gives to be taken care of at the hands of the giant bird Ghoghnus (Likely the Simurgh, see Etymology section.)
      • Ormazd adopts Kisra, and give him the surname "Parvez" for his enormous campaign.[204]
      • Kisra Parvez and Shirin are married, though their marriage is not a happy one.[220]
      • Under Liloupar's influence, Shirin murders Ormazd and his 300 heirs with poisoned honey, and her husband Kisra takes the title of the vassal king. He adds the name "ravan" to his bestowed surname, and now his name is Kisra Parvezravan.[204][220]
      • The son of Parvezravan and Shirin is born, and is named Shiruyeh. Fearing Liloupar's admonitions, Parvezravan banishes his son, forces him to cover his face, and forbids him to set foot into Gurabad.[220]
      • Liloupar enable her grandson through various means for him to confront his father Kisra, with her aid Shiruyeh's rebellion turns out to be successful. Shorty after, Liloupar uses the power of the "dark abyss," destroying most of the city with its king transformed into a dark monster.[221][Lore Discrepancy 7]
      • When King Deshret returned to Gurabad and learned of what Liloupar had done, he punished her by splitting her soul into seven fragments and scattered them across the Desert of Hadramaveth, each guarded by a sage.[222]
      • Shirin and Shiruyeh fell alongside the city into an abyss, where they still dwell according to Liloupar.[223] In the culture of the Eremites, the name "Shiruyeh" came to be associated with cowardice and traitors; and both him and his mother Shirin are usually regarded as the main reason for as to why Gurabad fell.[220]

Fontaine

Main article: Fontaine/History § Archon War
  • Sometime after the fall of Gurabad in Sumeru, Remus arrives in the High Seas seeking a place to die. There, he accidentally discovers the ruins of a forgotten city and meets the city's only surviving inhabitants: Sybilla, a former envoy tasked with guarding the Irminsul tree there, and the other Golden Bees. They foretell that Remus was destined to come here; that he will create a new, prosperous and thriving nation; and that the nation's desire for justice will lead to its downfall. Remus' begrudging acceptance of his destiny causes the Irminsul to turn into a golden ship,[55] which they use to establish the empire of Remuria over the waters.[224]
  • Remus' reign is prosperous, becoming known as the "golden era" and the "grand symphony" of Fontaine. Remus is credited for helping his people develop agriculture, construct giant cities and temples, and spread the beauty of music and art.[225] To push his dream of creating a harmonious, enlightened civilization,[226] he uses the Fortuna to call other tribes to join the empire of Remuria and conquers any tribe which refuses to join him, such as the tribe which Erinnyes and Cassiodor hailed from.[227]
  • After turning Remuria into a flourishing civilization, Remus' worries about its future leads him to seek a way to avert the destruction which Sybilla had prophesied. Though she believes it to be a futile effort, citing the rise and fall of civilizations as the law of Fortuna, she points him to Egeria, who was imprisoned in the depths of the Primordial Sea, to find a possible solution.[228]
    • Scylla, who is guarding Egeria's prison, attacks him, and they battle for thirty days and thirty nights. Afterwards, their exhaustion gives Remus an opening to explain the reason for his arrival. Bemused by Remus' futile dream, Scylla grants him passage to visit Egeria.[229]
    • To Remus' dismay, his meeting with Egeria yields no results, as Fontaine's fate was sealed by her "original sin" of creating a new race of humans using the Primordial Sea's power.[229][230] Egeria gives Remus a goblet of primordial water, which he intends to use to "create a world of endless prosperity, one without conflict." Intrigued by Remus' ideals, Scylla decides to leave the Primordial Sea to join his cause.[231]
  • Remus believes that so long as the "harmonious symphony of prosperity" continues to play, Remuria will prosper forever. He sets about perfecting his civilization, paying particular attention to his capital city, Capitolium.[53]
    • Hoping to make Remuria's peoples escape the flood, he mixes the primordial water with an immortal stone to create a Golden Ichor who would contain the souls and minds of his peoples and places this Ichor full of souls into Golems, and tries to replace the entire Primordial Water with his golden Ichor.[53]
    • Remus creates the Grand Symphony with Sybilla's life some time after turning his people into stone.
      • Phobos inherits Sybilla's lack of her own persona (or will). All of its actions are purely to make humans happy.
      • Phobos begins satiating the people's desires of bloodshed, knowing that everyone would follow its orders, as not doing so was "tantamount to betrayal".
  • The Remurians continue to grow arrogant and bloodthirsty, believing that this is what their Imperator wants.
  • Remus, seeing the extent of their moral degradation, conspires with Scylla in secret to destroy Phobos.
    • Scylla leads an army of Vishaps into the Capitolium as a part of Remus's plan.
      • Remus perishes while unleashing the power of the Symphony.
    • The Harmost Boethius, seeing his retreat as a betrayal, steals the golden Ichor and seals the Dragon Scylla with it and the chains the Harmost Euergetia forged.[232]
  • Remuria and its peoples are sunk under the sea at the same time the Dragon is sealed.[233] The golden Ichor is eventually corroded by the Primordial Sea and the survivors turn back into "Barbarism and Annihilation".[226]
  • After Remuria is destroyed and sinks deep underwater, Celestia commands Egeria to return from her primeval prison to take over Remus' position and rule Fontaine.[234]
    • Egeria returns to Fontaine and gathers the survivors, mediating between their feuds, and instructs them to establish new cities around flowing springs, thus commencing an era guided by law which endures to the present day.[53] She is awarded a Gnosis,[21] ascends as the Hydro Archon, and becomes one of The Seven.[235]

Natlan

Main article: Natlan/History § Ancient Dragon Era
  • Human civilization in Natlan collapses and is reclaimed by the dragon civilization of Natlantea, lead by Xiuhcoatl and the Thirteen Sovereign Lords.
  • Most of Natlan's Angels are "devoured" by the dragons.[236]
  • Natlan does not take part in the Archon War — it is instead dominated by in-fighting among the dragons.[237]
    • As a result, the modern people of Natlan know very little about the Archon War.
  • Natlantea gradually declines, and Kukulkan foresees its inevitable end.
    • He brings the power of Phlogiston to the "primitive" humans, revitalizing their civilization.[238][239]
      • Kukulkan's scheme to grant Phlogiston to the humans was eventually uncovered by the dragons, for which the Thirteen Lords and Three Princes attempted to impeach him. However, the proceedings were put on halt when Xiuhcoatl made an appearance at the trial.[240]
    • He also creates his son Och-Kan, a half-dragon, half-human being, intending for him to unite the humans and dragons and rise to the throne of a new era.[241]
  • Sometime near the end of this era, the seven tribes of Natlan are founded. Their religion involves worshipping their ancestors, the Wayob, and the Night Kingdom.
  • Xiuhcoatl modifies one of his pupils to serve as the control hub for Huitzilopochtli.[10]
  • Bifrons, an ancient fungi god from Sumeru, moves to Natlan in order to find a suitable place to restore his strength, eventually arriving at the Great Volcano of Tollan. However, as he is prepared to be planted, a volcanic eruption occurs and buries both him and his attendant, Chatraka.[242]
  • ~2000 years ago ― Aj Imuch' Paxlaq Lahun, the Tenth of the Thirteen Sovereign Lords, is sealed by the human twins Ixquieh and Ahpub within a wristband and buried in a ruin beneath the mountains with Imuch' alive inside it.[243][244]
  • 2000 years ago ― Xbalanque and his army invades the Sacred City of Tollan.[240] After slaying Xiuhcoatl, Xbalanque becomes the first Pyro Archon of Natlan, and the civilization of Natlantea comes to an end.[10][245]
    • The Three Princes and ten of the Thirteen Lords are slain during the battle.[240]
    • Xbalanque and Kukulkan each take one of Xiuhcoatl's eyes, swearing an oath to maintain peace between humans and dragons.
    • Xbalanque borrows Ronova's power to set up a system of "rules" for mortal humans to ascend as the Pyro Archon, as well as the Ode of Resurrection.
  • ~2000 years ago ― The territory ruled by the Ninth Lord Ixlel, Chichen Uctokah, falls to ruins.

Khaenri'ah

Main article: Khaenri'ah/History § Archon War
  • ? years ago ― Khaenri'ah is ruled by the Crimson Moon Dynasty.[248]
    • Early in this period, the priests convinced their "muddle-minded king" that the Crimson Moon (the fusion of the Iridescent Moon's remains and the Abyss) was an all-powerful being, and encouraged its worship among the people. In truth, however, they were likely just interested in using it as a link to the Abyss.[249][250]
    • In descendants of the royal bloodline, the power of the Crimson Moon begins to manifest as the 'Balemoon Bloodfire'.
  • At some point, the Crimson Moon and its marrow are sealed away in a domain that can only be accessed by using the Balemoon Bloodfire.[250]
    • Research on the Crimson Moon's marrow establishes that the its origins are related to a god's power, and that it can serve as a portal to a yet-unknown location.[251]
  • During the Crimson Moon era, Perinheri arrives in Khaenri'ah from another world and is accepted into an orphanage.[252]
    • He eventually becomes one of the mightiest figures in the kingdom, known as "Perinheri the undefeated."[248]
  • The Crimson Moon Dynasty is eventually toppled in a coup, and the Eclipse Dynasty takes its place.[250]
    • Arlecchino speculates that the usurpers may have opposed the discovery of a direct connection to the Abyss, or were incited by an ideological divide.
  • At some point, the development of Field Tillers (Ruin Guards) and other automatons now known as Ruin Machines began, likely with the purpose of combating Celestia.[253]
  • >2000 years ago ― A diplomatic team from Khaenri'ah, including Oogura and Ooshima, travels to Enkanomiya.[Note 14] They attempt to steal the forbidden book Before Sun and Moon, but are thwarted by Antei, who manages to destroy their Ruin Guard at the cost of his own life.[179]

Currently Unknown Regions of Teyvat

  • ? years ago — The Beast of Thunder enslaved a group of people with lightning and wreaked havoc on the land. The Thundersoother, whose family was killed in some sort of sacrifice, went to the cave of the Beast of Thunder, which was either near or in a volcano. He fought and beheaded the Beast of Thunder, and received a crown for his accomplishment, but spent his final days in solitude.[254]
  • ? years ago — The Berserker's homeland was consumed by flame during a war between gods and mortals. Seemingly the only survivor and a powerful warrior, the Berserker's iron mask was burned onto his face when his homeland fell and he went insane from the desire for revenge against Celestia. He went on a rampage, fighting humans, monsters and gods alike over time. At one point he even apparently fought a single giant monster for several years before killing it. However, it seems he eventually died, either in battle or after defeating whatever his last enemy was.[255]

Post-Archon War

  • 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.[256][257] Defeated gods who refused to live under The Seven's rule fled to islands in the Dark Sea, where they became evil gods.[258]
    • After Barbatos pays a visit to Morax — not in need of assistance, but rather to explore the neighboring country — the first iteration of The Seven would often gather in Liyue Harbor.[73][256][257]
  • 2000–500 years ago — Over the course of 1500 years, the original Cryo, Dendro, Electro, Hydro, and Pyro Archons pass away, leaving only Barbatos and Morax as the remnants of the original Seven.[73][256][257] It is unknown how many times those positions have changed hands, but they have since been replaced by the Tsaritsa, the Lesser Lord Kusanali, Ei, Focalors, and Mavuika, respectively. Of the divine archons, the Lesser Lord Kusanali is the youngest, having been born after the cataclysm 500 years ago.[259] Mavuika is a human born sometime before the Cataclysm, and reborn more recently (her exact age is unknown).
    • The original Seven's sworn duty to guide humanity is no longer honored by some of the newer Archons.[257]

Mondstadt

Mondstadt's Aristocratic Period

See also: Mondstadt Aristocracy
Early Aristocratic Period

2600–1600 years ago

  • <2600 years ago ― Dvalin, the new Anemo Sovereign, is born from a convergence of elemental energy in the high heavens. This young dragon was very curious and descended to the continent of Teyvat to observe the world around him. As an enormous and powerful dragon, his presence frequently but unintentionally caused havoc and destruction around him, resulting in fearful or spiteful reactions from humans. Dvalin did not yet understand the consequences of his actions and was thus confused and hurt by the treatment he received.[260]
    • One day, attracted by the music from the Holy Lyre der Himmel, he landed next to Barbatos. Though the humans panicked, Barbatos remained calm and sang of the dragon's beauty. Seeing that the god wished for him to be understood as well, Dvalin decided to stay by his side and befriended him. He learned human speech and the Archon's singing techniques.[260]
  • The Gunnhildr Clan returned north to their ancient fortress, within the lands that would later become part of their hereditary fiefdom in Mondstadt, and over time, this region would eventually become Dornman Port. It's said that the port was named after one of the clan’s ancestors, the Thorn King.[261] And it was here that they established Mondstadt's very first sacred sanctuary dedicated to Barbatos.[18]
  • ? years ago[Assumption 11] ― The Hexenzirkel challenged Barbatos into a fight, but he refused and offered to resolve the conflict through song instead. From then on, they became allies, and Barbatos agreed to conceal one of the group's meeting place and its lantern.[262]
  • ? years ago ― Barbatos departs, and a class of aristocrats blessed with divine powers arose as leaders of Mondstadt. The clans in the aristocracy derived their lineages from heroes who lived during the early ages of Barbatos' Mondstadt.[263] Known clans include the Lawrence Clan, Gunnhildr Clan, and Imunlaukr Clan.[264]
    • Venerare, leader of the Lawrence Clan at the time, built the Barbatos Statue in front of the Favonius Cathedral to commemorate Barbatos' descent. Beneath the statue was an inscription written by the leaders of the clans, pledging their defense of Mondstadt.[133]
  • During this time, the people of Mondstadt worshipped both Barbatos and Istaroth . However, at some point, the Istaroth and the worship of them were forgotten by the people of Mondstadt.[265]
  • Many of the festivals and customs in Mondstadt were enacted by the aristocracy for the betterment of the common people.[263] Such festivities included:
    • Hunting, a regular hobby of the aristocracy in which they worked alongside the common people and shared the spoils.
    • Ludi Harpastum, a 15-day festival which celebrates the blessings of wine, song, and flight Barbatos bestowed upon the people of Mondstadt.[266]
    • Windblume, a festival that celebrates the Thousand Winds.
    • Weinlesefest, a festival that celebrates the return of the Anemo Archon when the west wind blows every fall during the harvest season.
  • 2600–500 years ago[Note 15] ― The incident known as "The Tyrant's Final Fury" occurs.
    • For about one year, the first Field Tiller shot missiles from Stormterror's Lair at anyone who approached.[267] The first Field Tiller had wandered into the abandoned tower of Decarabian after being damaged by Lupus Boreas, who mistook it for a challenger when it wandered into his arena.[267][268]
Late Aristocratic Period

1600–1000 years ago

  • 1,600 years ago ― The Lawrence Clan became the foremost clan in Mondstadt and became the main rulers of the city.[266] However, they grew corrupt and fell to degeneracy, eventually becoming tyrants who enslaved and tormented the common people while viewing themselves as overlords and kings.[132][113]
    • The Gunnhildr Clan allegedly maintained its honor,[113] but were less influential than the Lawrence Clan which ruled Mondstadt. The status and fate of the Imunlaukr Clan are unknown, while other clans among the aristocracy followed the Lawrence Clan's lead.
    • To signal a total break from the increasingly tyrannical Imunlaukr Clan, the Gunnhildrs of the time seized the bishop sent from Mondstadt, hurled him from the window of the sanctuary's high tower, and subsequently tore it down, and ever since then, the port has remained without a church.[18]
  • ? years ago ― The aristocracy used various methods to control the people and keep them ignorant. Anyone who posed a threat to their reign was enslaved and used for labor or entertainment;[263][269] knowledge of the past was suppressed, and cultural and historical relics that would point towards the truth were taken down.[133]
    • The knight order at the time, who referred to themselves as the "starlit knights," served the aristocracy and upheld its degeneracy, using their strength to oppress the commoners.[135][270]
    • The royal mages no longer instilled virtue in the nobles, and instead helped them keep the people ignorant. The Church also used their influence to justify the aristocracy's actions and keep the commoners from realizing the truth.[271]
    • The Church of Favonius suffers a schism, with the higher-ranked clergy backing the nobility.[272]
  • ? years ago ― Ursa the Drake starts terrorizing Mondstadt.[266]
  • >1010 years ago ― Vennessa and her younger sister Lind are born into the Muratan tribe of the southern plains, exiled from Natlan due to civil war across the nation.[269][273][274]
    • 1010 years ago ― After running afoul of Ursa the Drake and being starved by the dragon over the course of several days, she and her people flee to Mondstadt, only to be enslaved by the aristocracy.[266] Because of her great strength, Vennessa was made into a gladiator, bound by chains. The chains themselves could not bind her; as a Muratan, Mondstadt's ordinary-quality ores and lack of her homeland's divine flame meant its metals were nothing before her strength. What kept her subservient was her responsibility to her people.[275]
  • ~>1000 years ago ― Eberhart, an illegitimate heir to Landrich's clan, was a particularly manipulative and ruthless figure who lived at the end of the aristocratic era. He grew up in a noble home with his older half-brothers, Parsifal and Ingbert. Due to his illegitimacy, he was never looked on the same way as his older half-brothers which bred discontentment within Eberhart. He also knew how far the aristocracy had fallen from its golden days and sought to restore the ancient aristocracy's glory. To this end, he used his cunning to become a key figure in the aristocracy's downfall.
    • ? years ago ― Eberhart goaded his older half-brother Parsifal's love of chivalry and play-acting,[276] convincing him to become a Phantom Thief, then deceived him in some unknown manner, forcing Parsifal to flee Mondstadt and removing him from the line of succession.[277]
      • During the late Aristocratic Period, spears and polearms came to be viewed as weapons used by lowly commoners and slaves, likened to gladiators' weapons compared to the noble and elegant sword. However, Eberhart secretly trained to use one in order to overthrow the aristocracy,[278] and even became the disciple of the witch who created the Crescent Pike, using her love for Parsifal to get close to her before discovering her weakness and killing her.[277][279] It appears that he took up the lance to gain an element of surprise against Ingbert, a Vision user, who would have easily bested him in combat otherwise.[276][280][Assumption 12]
  • >1000 years ago[Assumption 13] ― The Wanderer's Troupe is established, comprised of people from all over Teyvat.[281] It was both a musical troupe and a militaristic troop, gaining the moniker "Swordsman's Troupe" as they traveled throughout the continent. At one point, they faced an unknown foe in the Mare Jivari, and they made their final stop in the City of Mondstadt. They tried and failed to overthrow the aristocracy, and most of its members were slain during the battle, enslaved afterwards, or fled.[282][283] Known members include:
    • The founding member was the Conductor who wielded The Widsith, a collection of the Troupe's travels and musical compositions. He was slain in battle.[283]
    • The Sojourner, also known as the harpist and lyrist, who wielded The Stringless. He hailed from Fontaine and left his home country in search of his true fate. He was the second member of the Troupe, having met the conductor by chance. He fell in love with a Mondstadt girl, only for her to be chosen as the Ludi Harpastum princess — which meant she would be claimed by a member of the Lawrence Clan. In the attempted rebellion, he lost his life to protect his allies.[281][284]
    • The Dawnlight Swordswoman, also known as the sword dancer, wielded The Flute and was the third to join the Troupe.[284] She was enslaved after the attempted rebellion and turned into a gladiator, where she ultimately met her end. Even while enslaved, she sang of freedom and openly questioned the aristocracy's reign and the people's acceptance of their rule. Her interactions with Ragnvindr inspired him to rise up against the aristocracy, and he adopted her epithet in his title, "Dawn Knight."[285][286]
    • Kreuzlied, who abandoned the Lawrence Clan, was the fourth to join the Troupe.[284] He wielded The Bell and is the only known survivor of the Troupe, spared because of his lineage. Despite the Troupe's disbandment, Kreuzleid did not give up resisting the aristocracy; he established an underground organization, which would remain active even 500 years later, and used it to aid Vennessa's rebellion.[287]
      • 500 years later, it was secretly used by Rostam to aid the Knights of Favonius from the shadows. It is unknown whether the organization is still active in present day.[287]
  • ? years ago ― After many years of loyally fighting under his master Eberhart, the Gladiator who wielded the Deathmatch (and who the Gladiator's Finale set belongs to) meets his end at Vennessa's hands. Despite fighting many bloody battles for Eberhart's and his own glory, even after he had already won his freedom — having been manipulated by Eberhart into continuing — the Gladiator finds that Eberhart had already left the scene for reasons unknown.[288][289]
    • ~1000 years ago, after the Gladiator's death[290] ― Landrich organizes an aristocracy-led expedition to Sal Vindagnyr, hoping that the expedition will be a great success and their achievements will quell those hoping to rebel against the aristocracy. The expedition party included Ingbert, Eberhart, Luther, Nick, and several other promising young aristocrats. However, the expedition party never returned, so documentation on the event is sparse.[291]
    • Sometime after arriving at the mountain, the team gets caught in a snowstorm and the unnamed members get separated from the others, who meet up at the South Base Camp. Eberhart convinces the others that the unnamed members should be able to find their way back to the camp, and additionally persuades them to investigate a secret room that supposedly contains frescoes and weapons forged from starsilver.[292]
    • Not only are they unable to open the locked door of the secret room, but a cave-in kills Nick, burying his supplies with him. Returning to the South Base Camp, they notice the unnamed members have still not returned and Luther hopes they made it back down the mountain to get help. They decide to return to the original plan of exploring the cellar in the southwestern ruins once the storm dies down a bit.[290]
    • Eberhart leads Ingbert and Luther into the cellar and then takes out a polearm, striking Ingbert first and trying to kill them both. While he gravely injures both, Ingbert uses his Vision to launch a counterattack,[280] forcing him to retreat heavily injured. While bleeding out in the cellar, Luther realizes Eberhart's large-scale scheme, writing down an apology to Priscilla before leaving a message for whoever reads the journal to warn Landrich.[276]
    • After leaving the cellar, Eberhart takes refuge in an area where a prison used to be and plans to follow the waterway to where his supplies are hidden. Either at the prison or between there and the supplies, Ingbert catches up to him and Eberhart manages to kill him. Eberhart then heads east to reach the sea and finds his boat and more supplies untouched. He then leaves for Mondstadt with the knowledge that if news reaches the city, Priscilla — who unbeknownst to Luther, was one of Eberhart's co-conspirators — will warn him by lighting a torch at Stormbearer Point.[280] However, there are no records of Eberhart's return, leaving his ultimate fate a mystery.[291]
      • Eberhart's boat never reaches the shore and the waiting Priscilla gets caught by the nobles after the plot is revealed.[293]

Mondstadt Reborn

1000–500 years ago

  • 1000 years ago, after Ludi Harpastum[Assumption 14] ― The prayers and cries of the oppressed awakens Barbatos from his slumber, and he descends on Mondstadt under the guise of Venti. He befriends Vennessa after she raised the ire of Barca Lawrence, the heir to the Lawrence Clan, and was sentenced to undergo a series of gladiator matches to win her and her people's freedom. Her last battle is against Ursa the Drake itself, as Lord Lawrence had bartered with the evil dragon to give Mondstadt peace with her and her tribe as an offering. At this moment, Barbatos descends on the battlefield and reveals his true form, giving Vennessa the power to prevail against Ursa and freeing the people from the aristocracy's villainy.[266][294]
    • The above is the official history recorded by Mondstadt's historians. However, this was the beginning of a longer rebellion, during which Barbatos forged a contract between the aristocracy and Morax, claiming that the aristocrats had sold all of Mondstadt to the Geo Archon — including their own troops. After it was discovered, this "treachery against the wind" caused the troops to rally against the aristocracy, hastening its end. Only many years later did scholars discover that this treaty was fake.[135]
    • Ragnvindr[295] and Kreuzlied[287] are among those who assisted Vennessa's rebellion, as were adherents to the Church of Favonius mobilized by the Nameless Shepherd.[272] It is unclear whether the rebellion Eberhart intended to assist when he sabotaged the Dragonspine expedition was Vennessa's, or if it was a different one that was being plotted around the same time.
  • After Vennessa's rebellion succeeded, most of the aristocracy and those who had collaborated with them, such as the royal mages, are exiled from Mondstadt.[296] Those who proved themselves uncorrupted, such as the Gunnhildr Clan, were allowed to remain.[113]
    • After the rebellion, the clan would lead a push to abolish hereditary fiefdoms, and likely set an example in handing over their own fief to the people of Mondstadt.[18]
    • Vennessa establishes the Knights of Favonius, with herself as its first Dandelion Knight and Grand Master, and restores the Church of Favonius to prevent tyrants from taking over Mondstadt again.[273][297][298]
      • After the Knights of Favonius was established, a certain Knight of Boreas arrives at Mondstadt and joins them.[299] However, the wolf companion he originally journeyed with chose not to follow him into the city, preferring the wilderness. The two continued to fight together whenever the Knight left the city to hunt or do battle. When the wolf dies of old age, the Knight buries it in the remote countryside and leaves the Knights of Favonius to become a wanderer.[300]
    • Ragnvindr converts the aristocrats' indoor bathhouse into the original Mondstadt Library. It would eventually become the largest library in all of northern Teyvat, up until the Great Fire of Fall Equinox reduced it to one-sixth of its original size.[295]
      • The Barbatos Statue, which was originally erected by Venerare but taken down by the late aristocracy, is also restored, though the original inscription on it has been lost.[133]
  • ? years ago ― The Four Winds are established, with Boreas as Wolf of the North and Dvalin as Dragon of the East. Vennessa was simultaneously the Lion of the South (as the first Dandelion Knight) and Falcon of the West.[298][Lore Discrepancy 8]
  • ? years ago ― Vennessa is chosen by the gods and ascends to Celestia at Windrise. A massive oak tree grows where she stood when she ascended.[135][301]
    • This tree has a mysterious connection to Celestia; Venti channels power from it to purify himself from the Abyss' influence,[302] as well as to heal his body after getting his Gnosis forcefully taken by Signora.[303]
  • ? years ago ― The Great Fire of Fall Equinox reduces the Mondstadt Library to one-sixth of its former size. However, the contents within the library's restricted section, located behind the poplar doors in the library basement, were left untouched.[295]
  • ? years ago ― Boreas and his wolf pack did not originally live in Wolvendom, but moved there at an unknown point in time.[116] It is unclear whether the Temple of the Wolf, located near the Thousand Winds Temple, formerly housed Boreas' spirit.

Liyue

  • After Barbatos pays a visit to Morax — not in need of assistance, but rather to explore the neighboring country — the first iteration of The Seven would often gather in Liyue Harbor.[73][256][257]
  • 2000 years ago — With their combat prowess no longer needed, some adepti seclude themselves in Jueyun Karst. Others ask Morax to transform their mortal bodies into stone, resulting in the stone figures seen around Liyue.[304]
    • Unlike the adepti, the Yakshas suffered a gruesome fate. The hatred emanating from the demons tainted their souls, while the unending slaughters they participated in accrued karmic debt. One by one, the yakshas went mad, died, and/or disappeared.[146][155][305]
      • Bonanus and Menogias most likely both died when the two fought against each other. Indarias went mad with fear and was also dead.
    • The Liyue Qixing, an organization comprised of the seven foremost businesspeople in Liyue Harbor, are established.[306] Ganyu becomes secretary to the Liyue Qixing.[73]
  • ? years ago — A martial nomad named Guhua was known throughout Liyue; his life is shrouded in mystery, but some claim he was an adeptus and ascended to Celestia at the end of his journey. After his ascension, a person who was close to him established the Guhua Brotherhood in his honor.'[307] After several hundred years, however, the organization dwindled and became the Guhua Clan.
  • March 3, ? years ago — Qiqi is born as a human.
  • ? years ago — During one of the battles between adepti and demons, the herb gatherer Qiqi ran afoul of the combatants and became trapped between life and death as a result. Her desire to live granted her a Vision, which the adepti saw as a divine blessing. To save her life, each gave her a portion of their adeptal energies; her life was indeed spared, but she was turned into a zombie, and her mortal vessel could not handle the adeptal power and she went berserk. To quell the disturbance, Mountain Shaper trapped her in amber, where she would remain for several hundred years.[308]
  • >1000 years ago — Azhdaha begins to forget those around him, his memories eroding. Morax attempts to help him fix his deteriorating memory, but the solution doesn't work. He begins to become irritable, his spirit naturally angry for whatever reason.[309]
  • 1000 years ago — The people of Liyue mine in the mountains, overexploiting the area for resources. This causes the Ley Lines to quake, causing great suffering to Azhdaha, who is sustained and nourished by their energy. The pain, combined with his inability to recognize his loved ones, enrages him, and he attacks the Chasm in an attempt to stop his anguish.[309] He destroys the settlement at Tianqiu Valley in the process.[310]

Inazuma

  • Because Inazuma lies close to the Dark Sea, the Shogunate has been drawn into numerous wars throughout the years.[312]

Tsurumi Island

  • >1500 years ago[Note 16] ― 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.[52]
    • 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.[52][313]Afterward, the Thunderbird flies over to Seirai Island.[52]

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"[313] atop Amakumo Peak, who viewed her as an "obstacle to progress."[314]

Narukami Island

  • ? years ago ― The Kitsune Saiguu moves from the Hakushin Lands to the Grand Narukami Shrine.[318]
    • At some point in time, the Kitsune Saiguu defeats the Great Tengu in a race, and the Great Tengu becomes her bodyguard thereafter.[181]
    • 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.[181][319]

Sumeru

  • Following the death of King Deshret — Somehow, a man known as Shah Ramshahr comes to be credited with building the seven towers that were built during the eradication of forbidden knowledge. The towers, which are only known to have been built at the time of King Deshret's death, come to be known as the "Towers of Betrayal."[320]
    • Under the rulership of Shah Ramshahr, who is implied to have usurped the throne of Gurabad from Kavusbay, a descendant of Shiruyeh; seven cities each ruled by a king would come to be built around the seven towers, among which included Ay-Khanoum (which was apparently rebuilt after its initial destruction), Gurabad (a rebuilt version), Saleh, and Tulaytullah.[321]
    • Eventually, Shah Ramshahr perishes and a minister known as Turan Khagan becomes regent to rule in the place of Shah Ramshahr's son, Artaxir. The latter dies at a young age; Turan Khagan, who is suggested to have been Artaxir's murderer, is later himself executed with his three sons. Shah Ramshahr's royal power is transferred among the numerous states that had broken free of his tyranny.[322][323]
      • Humayun Gurkan, who ruled over Tulaytullah, marries Shah Ramshahr's Princess and becomes known as "King Humayun Gurkan." Because of an event known as the "Jinn Uprising," his reign would end in a brutal manner when he gets decapitated at the city of Saleh; this was followed by a short-lived alliance of thirty kings, who are vanquished soon afterwards.
      • Garshāsp, who is credited with having defeated "all the bandits," gains the name of "Muazzam Khagan, Khagan of Khagans." Garshāsp ruled both Ay-Khanoum and Gurabad, at one point in time, he decides to abandon Gurabad and set up a new capital; this new capital burns, and he passes away with his people fleeing to other cities.
  • ? years ago — A large-scale invasion by cruel Khagans on horseback takes place, where they lay waste to settlements all across the desert, including Tulaytullah.
  • ? years ago — A young noble named Goudarz would come to defeat a "false Khagan" and rebels from Tulaytullah, resulting in his rise as a king.
    • At some point in time, he encounter the Ibis King, when asked "What causes our rise and fall?" Goudarz answered: "Conspiracy and betrayal, for it renders the righteous and wise unable to succeed and thus nations fall." Hearing this satisfying answer, Thoth grants him the power to "decieve."
    • Following this event, Goudarz would change his name to Saleb Dowleh and make a rebuilt version of the city of Gurabad the capital of his realm, unifying the desert and entering a time known as the years of "fine rain at sunset."[324][325]
    • Prince Hojir, Saleb Dowleh's heir, consumed poisoned wine alongside hundred of nobles, thus passing away and ending a period of relative prosperity. Saleb Dowleh was accused of having orchestrated the events, leading up to infighting within his own family.
    • He ends up summoning Muzaffar, a Dey from the city of Orghana, who later betrays him and marchs towards Gurabad; pillaging his way to the city.
    • During his conquest, Muzaffar had besieged the famed city of Beit Raha, tearing out its walls and towers. He presented the head of Nasrul to his brothers and comrades and they made a mockery out of it; Nazira — Nasrul's daughter — is then made ruler of the city by Muzaffar and his men.[326]
    • With Muzaffar approaching, Saleb Dowleh sought help from his younger brother once more, and they would reunite their forces. However, Muzaffar defeats the both of them and put Saleb Dowleh's whole family to the sword, he then let him witness Gurabad burning before blinding him and taking his life.
    • Muzaffar abandons Gurabad and chooses to build his city elsewhere in the desert, never returning to Orghana where the other Deys resided.[327]
    • In order to avoid the outcome that befalled Saleb Dowleh, Muzaffar instructed his son Zumurud to have as many heirs as possible; and Zumurud would have 99 offsprings, 50 sons and 49 daughters respectively. Notable heirs included Badanah, Muzzudin, and Hanzade Sultan, under all of whom Sumeru entered a sort of "golden age."[328]
  • ? years ago — Xiphos, a heir from a destroyed kingdom of the desert would settle in Tulaytullah as advised from his master, possibly meeting the jinni Makhaira whom he is implied to have been a lover of. Makhaira would be sent as a tribute to the king Badanah, becoming his concubine; she then meets Badanah's son, Faramarz, and they end up being lovers.
    • In a similar vein to Goudarz, Makhaira encounters Thoth and accept to answer one of his three questions, when asked "What obliterates love and hate?" she answered: "I have nothing left to lose. Vengeance alone can quench both love and hate." Thoth is satisfied with her answer and grants her the power to "be loved," which, like Goudarz, would inevitably lead to her downfall.
    • Makhaira, wanting vengeance for what Badanah's predecessors had done to her ancestors, the Jinn; convinced Faramarz that Badanah's greed would one day cause the kingdom's fall, and both agreed on a plan to assasinate Badanah by setting up his death as an accident. Due to Faramarz's young age, Makhaira becomes queen-regent and rules in his place alongside Balash, one of the many uncles of Faramarz, and he moves to the Emerald Palace.[329][330]
    • Another uncle, Goraz, wanted to restore Faramarz to the throne, starting a rebellion against Balash in order to overthrow him; shortly after however, instead of letting Faramarz keep his throne, Goraz exiles him and takes Makhaira as his queen.
    • Goraz's reign would not last long, as the people and nobles of Tulaytullah were not fond of Balash's disposal and wanted justice, starting a rebellion that culminated in the overthrowing and death of Goraz — likely having been assassinated by Makhaira herself — who gave his head to the rebels so that they could be appeased.
    • After Goraz's death, the city of Saleh rebelled again, claiming to establish a Khagan; Makhaira manages to pacify them.
    • Faramarz returned to take back his throne; however, another twelve of Faramarz's uncles would start a war for the throne, resulting in another prolonged war. Finally, Faramarz emerges victorious from this conflict, and because of Makhaira's alignements with whoever served her interests best, he decides to end her life with a viper's venom, regardless of his love for her. This results in a finale exile to the Rainforest from a conspiracy between city-dwellers and slave-warriors, where Faramarz supposedly lives his last days.[331][332][333]
    • Xiphos, who was in a quest to unify the desert because of his possession of the Key of Khaj-Nisut and advices from his master, became Tulaytullah's protector and the main reason behind its prosperity. This prosperity would not last long, as other cities of the desert and even Tulaytullah's own nobles grew wary of Xiphos and planned his eventual demise; according to a version of the events, those cities had hired a mercenary who is stated to have been an exiled princeling from the desert, and both him and Xiphos met in a duel where the latter gets defeated and killed, which is soon followed by Tulaytullah's decline. Despite this description matching the character of Faramarz, there are no known records of Faramarz having ever been a mercenary, making it unlikely for this to be factual — or at the very least — to be about Faramarz.[334][335]
  • ? years ago — The Old Blind Poet, once a general under Badanah and the master of the hero Xiphos, decides along with other desert folks to permanently migrate to a settlement called Aaru Village, where they would await the return of Al-Ahmar. The many realms of the desert are eventually buried under the sands, leaving only ruins.[336]

Fontaine

  • Cassiodor founds the Marechaussee Phantom to fight against the Golden Troupe.
  • Egeria exiles all of the criminals from her nation, who live in misery as they are shunned by society.[224]
    • Eventually, some of these criminals beg for forgiveness, which Egeria heard through the waters. Egeria grants their wish for redemption, ordering them to guard her secret — the entrance to the Primordial Sea — beneath the waves. This results in the construction of the Fortress of Meropide, where the prisoners live and guard the path to the Primordial Sea. However, this secret would eventually become forgotten over time.[224]

Natlan

  • ~2000 years ago ― Ochkanatlan, the Eternal Empire, is founded by followers of Xbalanque. After Xbalanque "[arises] from the throne to enter the Sacred Flame," Och-Kan takes over as its king.[337]
    • The seven tribes form the Grand Alliance, placing their authority in the hands of Och-Kan.
    • Och-Kan builds Ochkanatlan upon the remains of Chichen Uctokah. Ixlel initially helps him, but resists when he traps her in the Old Core of Chu'ulel and tries to coerce her into powering his city. Och-Kan uses his own "draconic half" to create a new Core of Chu'ulel that he could completely control.
    • Och-Kan goes on to betray the commandments that Xbalanque had left him and earns the name of "tyrant." He becomes obsessed with eradicating the dragons and their descendants, the saurians, mistreats his people, and forbids the worship of ancestors and the Night Kingdom.[338]
      • The Scarlet-Eyed Youth is one of those who are sympathetic towards the Saurians. He was banished by the elder in an attempt to help him escape capture.[339] During his exile, he ascends as the second Pyro Archon, succeeding Xbalanque, and later starts to recruit those who oppose Och-Kan.[340]
    • Och-Kan is overthrown by the Scarlet-Eyed Youth and his party, after which Ochkanatlan becomes abandoned and "cursed." Och-Kan survives by separating his "mind" and "body," placing the former within the Core of Chu'ulel; the latter becomes the Dragon of the City of Flowing Ash.
    • Sovereignty is returned to the six tribes. They reconnect with the Night Kingdom and mend their relationship with the saurians.[338]
  • >1,600 years ago ― An unnamed female Pyro Archon at the time holds martial arts tournaments between Natlan tribes.[113][341][Note 17][Note 18]
  • >1000 years ago[Note 19] ― Due to a civil war in Natlan, the Muratans are exiled and split into two. Some of them leave Natlan and eventually settle in Mondstadt.[341] (See Vennessa's section) The rest are forced to live away from the other tribes at Tenochtzitoc, where the Easybreeze Holiday Resort now exists.[274]
  • >1000 years ago ― Cochanina, an ancient Pyro Archon, drives the Volcano Lord out of the People of the Springs.
  • ~500 years ago ― Mavuika is born before the Cataclysm occurs.

Snezhnaya

Golden Apple Archipelago

  • <2600 years ago ― After Minacious Isle is formed,[343] a group of people gets shipwrecked there,[344] including a grandmother with a family heirloom from her hometown.[345] These people go on to live across the archipelago[343] for at least five generations.[346]
    • The speakers of Conch Retrospection I: Songs of a Distant Home (Five Mountains, Two Paths, One River, Four Winds, and Clan of Song) span a minimum of four generations starting with the grandchild of the first grandmother (the addressee and speaker, respectively, in Five Mountains), or five when including the first grandmother. It is unknown how many generations are not represented by the Echoing Conches. The tightest plausible timeline is as follows:
      • Let Person Z be the speaker of Five Mountains. Her grandchild, who she speaks to in Five Mountains, is Person A. Person A is from generation #1.
      • The speaker of Two Paths could be Person A (generation #1), now grown. She could be referring to herself as "Mommy" in third person, because she may be addressing her child. She speaks to Person B, who would be from generation #2.
      • The speaker of One River, "Grandma," could be Person B (generation #2), now grown. She speaks to Person C, who would be from generation #4.
      • The speaker of Four Winds could be Person C (generation #4), still a child.
      • The "Mother" in Clan of Song is likely not the speaker of One River, as while they both sound elderly, they have different voices.[Note 20] She could be the mother between Person B (generation #2) and Person C (generation #4), which would make her from generation #3. This would also make the other speaker in Clan of Song Person C (generation #4), now grown.
  • 500 years ago[347] ― A pirate crew from a Shogun-ruled Inazuma[348] is separated when their boat splits in half. One group gets shipwrecked on the Nameless Island between Broken Isle and Twinning Isle, while the other group drifts southeast until they end up southeast of Twinning Isle. The pirates lose all of their treasure except for a samurai puppet that they stole, which is later relocated to the Central Platform.[344][348][349][350]
  • 500 years ago ― The pirates and islanders figure out a way to get off the archipelago.[344][351][352][353][Note 21]

Pre-Cataclysm

>500 years ago

Mondstadt

Main article: Mondstadt/History § Pre-Cataclysm
  • >500 years ago ― Arundolyn, Rostam, and Rosalyne-Kruzchka Lohefalter are born.
  • >500 years ago ― Arundolyn and his childhood friend Rostam grow up together in Mondstadt and eventually both join the Knights of Favonius. Arundolyn becomes the Grand Master known as the "Lion of Light," while Rostam becomes the "Wolf Pup."[354][355][356]
    • Rostam gained the title of Wolf Pup when he was 27 years old.[357] He preferred doing dirty work in the shadows, without restraints of being a knight, so that Arundolyn could remain a model knight.[358] It is said that he continued running the secret society established around 500 years earlier by Kreuzlied.[287]
    • Rostam taught the Knights of Favonius his sword style, the Favonius Bladework, which continues to be used to this day.[357][358] Arundolyn's fighting style, which wielded a greatsword in one hand and a longsword in the other, required immense strength that few were able to replicate, and so it soon died out.[354]
  • >500 years ago ― Rostam and Rosalyne-Kruzchka Lohefalter fall in love.
  • >500 years ago, just before the cataclysm ― Rosalyne leaves Mondstadt to study at Sumeru Akademiya.

Liyue

  • Morax signs a contract with an unknown party, agreeing to not disclose whatever is about to happen in the cataclysm.[309]
  • Among the five Yakshas, only Bosacius and Alatus remained. Before he went insane, Bosacius wished to seal off his treasure and to be done with this world.[359]
    • After Bosacius went insane and abandoned his post, he was drawn by the conflict of The Chasm and went there to fight.[164]
    • Ultimately, Alatus (Xiao) became the sole known yaksha left in this world.[305]

Fontaine

Main article: Fontaine/History § Pre-Cataclysm
  • While knowing she could not make an enemy of the divine, Egeria did not want harm to befall her followers because of the prophecy. She assigned Focalors, one of her Oceanid followers, to be her successor, hoping that she would be able to concoct a plan to deceive Celestia.[371]
  • The Fleuvre Cendre, ruled by the outlaw Eduardo Baker, runs afoul of the bureaucracy of the Court of Fontaine; it is raided by the Maison Gardiennage and its leaders arrested. Eduardo is sentenced to exile in the Great Red Sand.
    • The Siege of Poisson — While being led to exile, Eduardo is freed by his henchmen and flees to Poisson, taking the Maison Gardiennage personnel who had been escorting him as hostages. Poisson is razed in the ensuing battle between Eduardo's faction and the Gardes, resulting in the deaths of many of its residents. The mayor of Poisson, Renault de Petrichor, likely died in the siege.
    • In the aftermath of the siege, Renault's son, Rene de Petrichor, and Eduardo's son, Jakob Baker, are sent to the Narzissenkreuz Institute, where they befriend Alain Guillotin and Mary-Ann Guillotin.

Khaenri'ah

Main article: Khaenri'ah/History § Pre-Cataclysm
  • >500 years ago ― Vedrfolnir is born, followed by his younger brother Dainsleif.
  • Irmin ascends to the throne, becoming the last Vinster King of the Eclipse Dynasty.[372]
    • Eventually, Hroptatyr and Vedrfolnir become Irmin's most trusted advisors, and Rhinedottir, Surtalogi, Rerir, and Dainsleif also rise to positions of prestige.[251]
    • At some point, Irmin approves the use of "secrets from beyond the skies" (likely forbidden knowledge), which allows Khaenri'ah to develop technology that transcends the Heavenly Principles. This knowledge also grants the "four pillars of Khaenri'ah" power and prosperity.[373]
  • Aether and Lumine fall to Teyvat while traveling between different worlds in their spaceship[374] after their home world was destroyed.[375] They crash-land and fall unconscious from the impact, and are separated from each other.[376]
    • The Universitas Magistrorum is implied to have predicted their arrival in Teyvat, at Irmin's request.[377]
    • The Traveler's sibling wakes up first and wanders through Teyvat in desperate search of the Traveler. When the sibling arrives in Khaenri'ah, King Irmin declares them his heir and "Savior", who will save their nation from all disasters and lead them to a great future. They become the (‍princess‍/‍prince‍) of Khaenri'ah.[376][372][378]
    • Soon after, Irmin uses the Traveler's sibling as a vessel to absorb "unlimited Abyssal power."[372]
      • Around the same time, Dainsleif is promoted to captain of the Royal Guard, and gains the title of "Twilight Sword."
  • Irmin grows increasingly obsessed with the power of the Abyss, and his behavior becomes erratic and extreme.[251]
    • All of the Universitas Magistrorum's staff and resources are reassigned to Abyssal Energy research, except for Tholindis, a Moon Marrow researcher.
    • At some point, Irmin decrees that all descendants of the Crimson Moon Dynasty be hunted down and eliminated. Rerir serves as one of his secret agents, but hides his grisly role from Tholindis, his lover.
  • Vedrfolnir warns Irmin that continuing to pursue the Abyss will inevitably lead to the fall of his nation. Enraged, Irmin gouges out Vedrfolnir's eyes and casts him into the palace dungeons.[251]
    • When he hears of his brother's imprisonment, Dainsleif mounts a rescue operation with Rerir, Hroptatyr, Rhinedottir, and Surtalogi. Incidentally, it also becomes a coup d'état. In response, the king activates certain "secret mechanisms," which seems to attract Abyssal monsters to the palace.
    • Rerir sees Tholindis enter a portal to escape the monsters, but cannot follow. He rushes back to the group and joins Hroptatyr, Rhinedottir, Surtalogi, and Vedrfolnir in dividing up the Abyssal energy absorbed by the Traveler's sibling. They each take one-sixth,[379] which grants them "world-shattering" power. However, they also become known as the Five Sinners of Khaenri'ah.

Cataclysm

Main article: Cataclysm

500 years ago

  • Monsters from the Abyss invade the aboveground world of Teyvat, causing widespread devastation.[380]
  • The Kingdom of Khaenri'ah is destroyed by the Heavenly Principles,[314] causing the fall of the Eclipse Dynasty and the entire civilization.[260] Khaenri'ah's destruction causes a devastating ripple effect.[383]
  • The sibling witnesses the cataclysm[384] and the Gods destroying Khaenri'ah.
    • The sibling has the chance to save Khaenri'ah, but in this moment Direidyth meets them and shows them Traveler's hibernation key as proof for meeting with them. After making a hard decision and abandoning Khaenri'ah in its time of need, they find the Traveler within their hibernation chamber and wake them up.[385][386]
      • Due to the Traveler's sibling's journey with Dainsleif taking place after the cataclysm, it is presumed that the sibling here has only briefly explored Teyvat before encountering the cataclysm.[387][388][Assumption 17]
  • Before meeting Asmoday, Lumine twines an Inteyvat in her hair.[389][390]
    • If Aether is chosen as the Traveler, it is implied Lumine picked the flowers from Khaenri'ah herself. If Lumine is chosen as the Traveler, it is implied Aether gifted them to her after returning from Khaenri'ah to wake her.
  • The twins attempt to leave immediately, only to be stopped by Asmoday. The twins battle against Asmoday in last-resort attempt to leave, spawning wings and custom swords. The twins lose the fight, with Asmoday trapping the Traveler's sibling first within a cube, and then the Traveler after they attempt to free their sibling. The Traveler falls asleep within the cubes once again for the next 500 years.[385][389]

Mondstadt

  • During the cataclysm, The Knights of Favonius, led by the current Grand Master Arundolyn and Rostam, go on an expedition to Khaenri'ah to fight the monsters.[355]
    • Rostam mentors a man known as the White Knight (possibly "Roland"[369] who loved justice above all else and fought against the monsters of Khaenri'ah.[358][391][392] As he fought monsters, he came to be known as the Bloodstained Knight, and people started fearing him.[392] He then ventures deeper into Khaenri'ah and dies battling monsters. In the depths of the world, he learns about the origin of the monsters that destroyed Khaenri'ah and the ultimate injustice that turned the people of Khaenri'ah into monsters, therefore joining the Abyss Order.[392]
  • An alchemist from Khaenri'ah, "Gold" Rhinedottir, creates one of her masterpieces, Durin.[393][394][395] She sends Durin and other creatures she created to the continent of Teyvat to "display [their] beauty."[396] Upon reaching Mondstadt, however, Durin lays waste to the city,[299][394][380][397][398] although it is suggested that Durin was not conscious of his actions after reaching Teyvat until Dvalin fatally wounded him in their battle.[399]
  • At that time there was no Lionfang Knight, as Arundolyn, then Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius and Lion of the South, gave up fighting after his friend Rostam died during the expedition to Khaenri'ah.[299][354][355][356][357][358] As a result, there was also no one strong enough to take on Durin.[Lore Discrepancy 9][Translation Note 4]
  • The people's cry for help are heard by the Anemo Archon, who calls upon Dvalin. The two engage Durin in battle and eventually defeat him, but Dvalin ingests Durin's poisonous blood, corrupted by the Abyss' power, in the process. To recuperate, Dvalin takes refuge in Decarabian's Tower in Old Mondstadt and falls into deep slumber.[299][394][397][398][400]
    • Durin's corpse falls over on Dragonspine and the power inside Durin's blood seeps into the land, reviving the Frostbearing Tree. Durin's blood appears to coagulate as Scarlet Quartz, due to the high concentrations of the mineral in Wyrmrest Valley, wherein Durin's heart still beats.[399]
  • Rosalyne-Kruzchka Lohefalter returns to Mondstadt and learns of Rostam's death. In her rage and despair, she uses the art of liquid flame she learned at Sumeru Akademiya to turn her body into that of living flame to avenge him, and becomes known the Crimson Witch of Flames.[401][Assumption 18]
  • Dornman Port stood on the brink of destruction. Many knights gave their lives defending their homeland, and their graves now lie beneath the city.[402]

Liyue

  • The Chasm and Dunyu Ruins are two known locations majorly impacted by the cataclysm.
    • An 'iron meteorite' impacted the Chasm and then monsters poured out of the Chasm and in response, Morax sent the Millelith to defend and evacuate the miners.[403]
      • An unnamed yaksha — who had once abandoned their duty to defend Liyue — returned to fight alongside the Millelith. The yaksha and Millelith who chose to lead the vanguard ultimately perished in battle.[403]
      • The monsters' threat was diverted by the combined efforts of the Yaksha — who revealed to be Bosacius, a mortal thaumaturge named Boyang, and the Millelith vanguard. They contrived a stratagem to trap and seal the beasts in the depths of The Chasm by using the Fantastic Compass, a catalyst which had the power to manipulate space. In the critical moments of the fight, Bosacius, Boyang and the Millelith vanguard ultimately sacrificed themselves by sealing themselves along with the beasts because the compass needed constant energy flow from a mortal and an adeptus to operate.[164]
      • There were very few survivors of the conflict in the Chasm. One such person was Rongzhao, Boyang's brother, but he went insane when returned to his family.[404] Another figure was a Millelith who lost all four limbs when rescuing the miners and fending off the monsters, but later he taught himself to become a famed doctor. He set up the memorial of the fellow Millelith comrades after he received a Vision.[405]
    • What occurred in Dunyu Ruins is unknown, but its people decided to abandon the city and move to Liyue Harbor; none of the refugees nor adepti have spoken about what happened there.[75]
      • The emerging abyssal influence was said to be the reason people abandoned Dunyu Ruins, and it became a ruin.[75]
      • Dunyu Ruins may be the byproduct of the main conflict in the Chasm, due to the fact that Bosacius commanded the Millelith force to hold the line at 60 miles outside The Chasm at all costs,[406] which can mean the nearest location, Dunyu Ruins, was also affected by the Chasm's waves of monsters as well.

Inazuma

  • Kujou Shigeyori built the fortress and established the Kujou Encampment on the battlefield front in Kannazuka.[407]
  • 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.[364][368]
    • Takamine is eventually overwhelmed by the monsters and disappears, despite his determination to return to Asase Hibiki's side.[408]
    • 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.[409]
  • Chiyo turns her blade on Ei, only to be defeated and driven away. This betrayal tarnishes the Mikoshi Clan's reputation.[409]
  • The Kitsune Saiguu is consumed by the dark forces and most of her memories are dissolved into filth.[181] The uncorrupted remains of her memories eventually manifest as Hanachirusato.[412]
  • 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.[314][413]
  • 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.[382]
    • The Sacred Sakura's power help Ei to overcome the monsters and quell the disaster in Inazuma.[382]

Sumeru

  • 500 years ago ― Unlike the rest of The Seven, the Dendro Archon Greater Lord Rukkhadevata is not summoned to Khaenri'ah, as she is tasked with protecting Irminsul.[213]
    • Forbidden knowledge contaminates Irminsul, and by extension, Rukkhadevata herself. Since she cannot "erase" herself to purify Irminsul, she creates a successor, Lesser Lord Kusanali, to act as her reincarnation in the next samsara.
  • The king of the forest, Viaghara, dies protecting Dharma Forest. His successors today are the Rishboland Tigers.[414]
  • At some point, the huntress Viridescent finds the blind younger brother of the Bloodstained Knight in Dharma Forest. She is unable to prevent his death at the hands of Abyssal monsters, but goes on to fulfill his dying wish, enacting vengeance on the beasts for the suffering they caused.[415][416]
    • Eventually, Viridescent undergoes erosion and becomes tainted by "black blood" of the monsters she slew. The Bloodstained Knight encounters her in this state and kills her, as she had become a monster herself.

Girdle of the Sands

  • The Gate of Everlasting Mourning serves as the epicenter of the Abyssal invasion into the nations of Teyvat. The monsters tear open a "great rift," which becomes known as Tunigi Hollow.[417]
  • The Hydro Archon Egeria falls in battle at Tunigi Hollow. Her body is transformed into a "sea of pure dew," the Amrita, which concentrates in the Vourukasha Oasis.[417]
    • However, Egeria cannot "be reborn in a purer plane," as she has been tainted with Abyssal corruption. Thus, the Dendro Archon Greater Lord Rukkhadevata causes the Harvisptokhm to grow from the Amrita, granting Egeria's remaining consciousness an anchor in this realm.
  • Simurgh finally awakes from her slumber. As destined, she drinks the Amrita, purifying the corruption and sacrificing herself. Her form is shattered into "countless motes of Khvarena," the most sentient of which become the Pari, who take up Simurgh's mantle and dedicate themselves to cleansing defilement.[417]
  • At some point, the Schwanenritter evacuate Khaenri'ahn refugees aboveground into the Girdle of the Sands.[418] They use their Ruin Golems to aid in the fight against the Abyss, earning the title of "heroes of Dahri."[419]
  • Sometime later,[Note 22] Zurvan, the First Pari, finds a weakened Dainsleif while fighting Abyssal forces in the wilderness. She brings him back to the Vourukasha Oasis to recover, then forms a Laupa connection with him and fights alongside him for a time.[419]
    • "Not long after," Zurvan and Dainsleif meet the Darshan led by Nagarjuna, who claim that they once fought with the "heroes of Dahri" and intend to carry on their will to destroy the Abyss.
  • At some point, the Harvisptokhm seals the rift at Tunigi Hollow. However, the Sign of Apaosha appears in the sky above it, indicating that the defilement is not yet cleansed.[417]
  • The Pari work with Nagarjuna and his Darshan to perform the Rite of Chinvat. Zurvan personally uses the Khvarena to repair the Harvisptokhm's seal, purifying it and extinguishing the Sign of Apaosha.[420]
    • Later, Zurvan fuses the strongest Khvarena into the five Great Songs of Khvarena, which she uses to cleanse the land. Afterwards, four of the Great Songs are scattered, but Zurvan hides the fifth in the Vourukasha Oasis.[420] The Oasis begins to continuously birth new Pari.[419]
    • Some members of the Darshan choose to remain in the Girdle of the Sands and take on the responsibility of maintaining the Harvisptokhm's seal. They forge Laupa connections with the new Pari and begin to call themselves the "Order of Skeptics."
  • Sometime afterwards, Dainsleif leaves the Vourukasha Oasis alongside the Traveler's sibling.[419]

Fontaine

  • 500 years ago ― Egeria dies and Focalors takes over. Due to differences in ideology between Egeria and Focalors, the Oceanids refuse to obey Focalors and go on self-imposed exiles from Fontaine.[107][421]
    • The director of the Narzissenkreuz Institute, Lyris, who was herself an Oceanid, also disappears.
  • The great beast Elynas appears in Fontaine, spreading severe pollution to the land and sea. Basil Elton, vice-director of the Institute and former Admiral of the Fontaine Navy, comes out of retirement to fight against the threat. The Fontaine Armada set off for what would be their final battle; for 35 days it pursued Elynas, all the while attracting monsters from the Abyss. After finally catching up to the beast, the armada slammed into him, which destroyed the ship and killed all its crew while also mortally wounding Elynas.
    • Elynas eventually dies from his wounds, but maintains his consciousness.
  • A massive flood later called the "first diluvian period" (or "first flood period") submerges much of Fontaine, including the Narzissenkreuz Institute. The Institute, now flooded and without a director or vice-director, officially closes; Jakob and Rene are adopted by Karl Ingold, while Alain and Mary-Ann are adopted by Emanuel Guillotin.

Natlan

  • 500 years ago – The Abyss invades, and Natlan sustains more damage than any other region in Teyvat due to its weakened Ley Lines. This marks the beginning of the Night Warden Wars.
  • 490 years ago[241] – The Ochkanatlan Adventure Team, led by Taika, travels to the ruins of Ochkanatlan in search of the Legendary Tonatiuh, which was rumored to hold the key to defeating the Abyss. However, they discover that it was a trap set by brother Kukulkan, who kills almost all of them and takes their souls.
    • Taika's daughter, Bona, also journeys to Ochkanatlan. She finds Och-Kan's "mind" trapped in the Core of Chu'ulel, which she releases and names "Cocouik." Cocouik accompanies her to the Tonatiuh, where she meets the same fate as her father.
  • By the end of the war, the tribes are decimated and their bonds with the Wayob nearly severed. The Abyss permanently roots itself in the Night Kingdom, plunging the people of Natlan into a continuous war against its advances.[424]
    • Knowing that Natlan would eventually crumble if the Abyss was not fully eradicated, Mavuika devises a plan: The tribes would spend the next 500 years regaining their strength, then the Wayob would select six new heroes of Natlan to expel the Abyss for good. In order to personally oversee the plan, Mavuika sacrifices her life to the Sacred Flame to reawaken 500 years later.
    • Due to the consequences of long-time exposure to the Abyss, the people of Natlan must stay within their nation's borders, where the Wayob can protect them.
  • Menilek tries to remove the Flamelord's Blessing from his Saurian companion Holawaqa Ngoubou, but the attempt fails.
  • Mavuika's sister, Hine, assists in rebuilding the Scions of the Canopy.
  • Not long after the Cataclysm, Capitano (then known as "Thrain") and his platoon flee to Natlan from Khaenri'ah. They stay there for a time, helping the tribes fight against the Abyss.

Snezhnaya

  • During the cataclysm, Nod-Krai is the first area corrupted by the Abyss,[425] which manifests there as The Wild Hunt.
    • Neither the Snezhnayan royal court nor the gods defend the borderland region, and Abyssal monsters raze it to the ground.[426][427]
  • Solovei, the Torchforger, and Aila, the first Moonchanter of the Frostmoon Scions, use the power of the moons to turn the tide against the Abyss. According to the Scions' records, Aila travels to the Pillar of Embla at Solovei's behest, "[lighting] a beacon to dispel the darkness."[428] By another account, Solovei borrows power from Aila and "[raises] that first beam of light."[426]
    • Solovei and his allies establish the Lightkeepers, swearing an oath to defend Nod-Krai from the Abyss.[426] Sometime later, they pledge their eternal fidelity to the Tsaritsa.[429]
    • Aila bestows upon Solovei the Arrow of Terpikeraunas, a Frostmoon relic capable of dispelling the Abyss.[430]
  • At some point, Anastasya Feodorovna Snezhnaya succeeds the Belyi Tsar as the new Cryo Archon in an apparently non-violent transition of power.[426][431]
    • Most of the fae nobility disapprove of the change, including Flins, who leaves Snezhnaya in self-exile. After wandering for some time, he voluntarily enters a deep slumber on a small isle in Nod-Krai.[432]
    • Over time, the fae lose much of their political influence and fall into obscurity.[246]
  • Reed Miller becomes an infamous thief known across Teyvat. He seeks to build an "Elysium" for the poor and downtrodden on the wealth of the rich, and founds the Treasure Hoarders on this principle.[433]
    • The Snezhnayan royal court eventually sentences Reed Miller to death for his crimes, although it is unclear whether his execution actually succeeds.[Note 23]

Khaenri'ah

  • Despite their tremendous power, the Five Sinners of Khaenri'ah do nothing to defend their homeland.[434]
  • Ronova, the Ruler of Death, places a curse on all Khaenri'ahns. Those of pure-blooded descent are deemed "the greater sinners" and punished with the curse of immortality.
    • Dainsleif is also cursed with immortality, but is gifted a ring by his brother, Vedrfolnir, that continuously resets his body's condition. However, his mind is still affected by erosion.[376]
  • The Traveler's sibling witnesses Khaenri'ah's destruction. They return to where the Traveler still lay unconscious from their crash-landing in Teyvat, wakes them up, and briefly takes them to Khaenri'ah before attempting to leave this world for another. They are intercepted by Asmoday, the Ruler of Space, who traps and separates them.[253][385]
  • At some point, King Irmin becomes "indisposed" and Knight Marshal Anfortas of the Alberich Clan steps in as Regent, taking Irmin's place at the Regnum Concilium Ultimum.[435][436]
    • Sometime later, Anfortas leads the Schwanenritter to evacuate Khaenri'ahn survivors aboveground to Sumeru.[437] The Schwanenritter and their Ruin Golems aid the locals in their battle against the Abyss, earning them the title "heroes of Dahri."[438]

Post-Cataclysm

500–100 years ago

  • The amount and activity of hilichurls in Teyvat drastically increases,[439] as Khaenri'ahns of foreign ancestry were transformed into hilichurls as punishment for the cataclysm.[440]
  • <500 years ago — The Traveler's sibling wakes up first (again) after being trapped by Asmoday.
    • The sibling spends some time traveling with Dainsleif, until they met Eide (real name Chlothar Alberich) in Sumeru, where he tried to cure his now-turned-to-hilichurl illegitimate son named Caribert.
    • After witnessing the miracle granted by the sinner Vedrfolnir, Chlothar declares the founding of Abyss Order.
    • Not long after the founding of Abyss Order, the sibling parts ways with Dainsleif due to "finding the truth about this world."[388][441]
    • 100 years after Abyss Order was founded, the Traveler's Sibling assumes leadership of the Abyss Order.[442][268]
  • After the cataclysm, September 13 — Rhinedottir creates Albedo. He is born after the destruction of Khaenri'ah and has never seen the nation firsthand.[395]

Mondstadt

  • ? years ago[Assumption 19] ― Before the Crimson Witch of Flame could be fully devoured by her own flames, Pierro of the Fatui Harbingers, finds her and recruits her, giving her a Cryo Delusion to put out her flames.[443][370][444][445] The Crimson Witch of Flame becomes Signora, the 8th of the Fatui Harbingers.
  • 400 years ago ― An ancestor of Ella Musk and Dr. Edith writes "An Investigation into the Cultural Customs of the Wind Kingdom," which is excerpted in Breeze Amidst the Forest.[Translation Note 5]
  • >300 years ago ― Olaf, a denizen from Springvale, is born.
  • 300 years ago ― Olaf is frozen by a Cryo Regisvine while attempting to hunt a certain breed of boar, prized for its extraordinarily sumptuous taste, that is driven to extinction everywhere except for Dragonspine.[446] According to stories passed down during his time, Springvale was formed around a spring created by melted ice and snow from Dragonspine,[447] so it was established after Sal Vindagnyr froze over.
  • <200 years ago ― A Lochfolk named Callirhoe, also known as the Spring Fairy, moves to Springvale from Fontaine and blesses the waters.[107] According to Olaf, there were no stories about the Spring Fairy during his time, indicating she probably arrived after his accidental cryopreservation.[447]

Liyue

  • <500 years ago — In Liyue, the cataclysm created a martial arts renaissance as people sought ways to fight the monsters that continued appearing even after the immediate monster threat ended. Yun Hui of the Yun Family, a clan of blacksmiths, joined forces with master craftsman Han Wu to produce a series of weapon designs now known as the "prototypes."[448][449]

Inazuma

  • 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.[450][451]
    • Disillusioned with Celestia after witnessing the events at Khaenri'ah,[173][450] 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.[450] 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.[452]
    • 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.[453]
    • Hiiragi Hiroshi of the Kanjou Commission built the prosperous Ritou port.[454]
    • 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.[455]
    • Alice visits Inazuma, where she meets the young girl in charge of the Grand Narukami Shrine, Yae Miko.[192]
    • The Yougou Three part ways, never to reunite:[365]
    • Mikoshi Michihiro, Chiyo's biological son, goes into seclusion in the forests near Konda Village out of shame over his mother's actions.[368]
    • The Great Tengu, enraged at her own inability to protect the Kitsune Saiguu, departs from the mortal realm and leaves behind her daughter, Teruyo.[364]
  • ? 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."[368]
    • 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.[368]
  • ? 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.[367]
  • ? 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,[366] 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."[368][458][Assumption 20]
      • 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.[459][Assumption 21]
  • ? years ago, after the creation of Maguu Kenki ― Ako Domeki defeats a Maguu Kenki doll and steals it for himself.[460] The ship carrying it, however, somehow gets lost and becomes shipwrecked on the Golden Apple Archipelago.[349] 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.[319][461]
    • Sometime later, Harunosuke performs a Minor Cleansing with the help of Hanachirusato.[461]
  • ~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.[462][463] Before entering the Plane of Euthymia, she gives her Gnosis to Yae Miko.[450]
  • ~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.[464] 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.[452] 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.[465]
    • 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.[464][466]
    • 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.[467]
    • Meanwhile, Niwa confronts Escher, who then murders Niwa and reveals himself to be Il Dottore.[464] 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.[465] 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.[468] But the child dies young due to the Tatarigami. Kabukimono enraged by this, burned the child's house down.[469] 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.[470]
  • At some point, the Sacred Sakura takes on the shape of a kitsune head[314] as a result of the kitsune's care for the Sacred Sakura.[413][Lore Discrepancy 11]

Sumeru

  • <500 years ago, October 27 ― Following the cataclysm, Lesser Lord Kusanali is born and rises to the position of Dendro Archon to replace Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, who disappeared during the chaos.[73]
    • Following the events of Akasha Pulses, the Kalpa Flame Rises when the memories of Greater Lord Rukkhadevata were erased from Teyvat, Lesser Lord Kusanali is believed by all, including herself, to have always been the original Dendro Archon, and that she lost all of her memories and knowledge during the cataclysm, resulting in her imprisonment by the sages.
  • >400 years ago[Note 24] ― Zandik attends Sumeru Akademiya, hoping to further his research on creating "enhanced humans" despite rejection from his peers and teachers. Pierro tracks him down while following rumors about heresy and recruits him into the Fatui as the Harbinger Il Dottore.[471]
  • >400 years ago ― The Temple of Silence, an organization hailing from the desert that were responsible for knowledge from the era of King Deshret, departs the rainforest due to the corruption of the sages back to the desert, and settle into a large underground temple in Thamud Oasis.[472]
    • Upon their departure, the Akademiya, seeking to cover up their departure, creates a front organization that is responsible for the custody and disposal of information and documents not fit for public dissemination.
  • 200 years ago ― The most talented scholar of Sumeru Akademiya (before Lisa) graduates.[473]
  • >120 years ago, August 20 ― Faruzan is born.
    • >100 years ago ― Faruzan is trapped within ruins related to King Deshret's civilization and was unable to escape until a century later.

Girdle of the Sands

  • Sometime after the establishment of the Order of Skeptics,[Note 25] an investigation team from the Sumeru Akademiya arrives in the Girdle of the Sands to explore the Dahrian ruins.[474]
    • The Order of Skeptics warns them against entering the ruins, but to no avail. Ultimately, they decide to send Klingsor, then a member of the Order, with them for protection.
    • While in the ruins, Klingsor succumbs to the allure of the Abyss and becomes an Abyss Herald. The fate of the investigation team is unknown.
    • Afterwards, Abyssal forces attack the Vourukasha Oasis in pursuit of the Great Songs of Khvarena. Pari and human warriors fend them off, but as a precautionary measure, Zurvan seals off the Oasis and the Dahrian ruins in the area using the power of the Great Songs.
    • According to Zurvan, the Order of Skeptics never recovers from this incident, having lost their all of their archives to fire. Without records of their ancient rites, the Order gradually neglects their duty to maintain the Harvisptokhm's seal.

Fontaine

  • ~499 years before the Archon Quest The Opera of Noirceur and Blancheur in Chapter IV: Act V - Masquerade of the Guilty[Assumption 22] ― Focalors avulses her divinity from her body and spirit, leaving behind Furina as her ''humanity''. Furina was then instructed by Focalors to publicly take the mantle of the Hydro Archon as a measure towards saving Fontaine from the prophecy.
    • Focalors then creates and proceeds to seclude herself in the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale, acting as the Oratrice's verdict-giving system. Continual trials to be held in the Opera Epiclese would allow Indemnitium—a form of power derived from people's belief—to be accumulated in the Oratrice, of which Focalors would allot a small amount to power Fontaine. The majority of the remaining power was to be stored and utilized when the people of Fontaine would hold the trial of the Hydro Archon, as stated in the prophecy.
    • ~499 years later, the Oratrice sentences the Hydro Archon to death. Focalors bears the punishment, and has willingly given up her full authority as the Hydro Archon to the Hydro Dragon Sovereign, thus clears the people of Fontaine from their 'Original Sin', and making them - including Furina - fully human. As the result, the Hydro Archon's divine throne is destroyed - hence there will be no further Hydro Archons and the Oratrice is no longer functional - and the people of Fontaine can no longer be dissolved by the Primordial Sea water.
    • Due to the extreme exhaustion and stress she endured for the last 499 years, Furina leaves the Palais Mermonia and Opera Epiclese, where she settles down in an apartment.[475]
  • ? years ago
    • Karl, Rene, and Jakob explore the Khaenri'ahn ruins in Vourukasha Oasis and Madinat al-Nuhas, guided by the Order of Skeptics. During the trip, Jakob's weak constitution caused his health to deteriorate. Unbeknownst to Karl, Rene went behind his back and used Abyssal power to save Jakob. During this trip, they also deduce the "world-formula" from the records they found in the ruins, predicting a second flood period which would destroy Fontaine in the next few centuries.
    • Jakob and Rene return to Fontaine and soon discover Elynas' remains. They begin conducting secret experiments on the remains, namely by having Jakob absorb Elynas' blood. After some time, he became able to survive without eating by subsisting mainly on Elynas' flesh.
    • During their research into Elynas, Jakob and Rene bump into their childhood friends Alain and Mary-Ann. They are accepted into the Institute of Natural Philosophy following Alain's recommendation.
      • Rene begins recruiting researchers from the Institute of Natural Philosophy into a secret society he has named the Narzissenkreuz Ordo, created to help Fontaine survive the coming apocalypse that he and Jakob had predicted.
      • Jakob and Rene conduct a failed experiment to try to save the life of Carter Scherbius, Alain's sickly research assistant who the two had grown close to. However, the experiment goes horribly wrong and Carter is left in a semi-conscious state with the tissues of his body destroyed, leading Alain to cut off ties with them.
    • Some time after the split, the Guillotin siblings become members of the Marechaussee Phantom. Alain creates a mechanical assistant prototype and names it Seymour, tasking to always accompany and protect Mary-Ann.
    • Lyris returns to Fontaine, although she spends her days alone in the remains of the Narzissenkreuz Institute longing for the past. Rene and Jakob eventually find her and convince her to join the Ordo.
    • Rene decides to become "the first subject" of his radical experimentation and have his personality removed, using the Holy Blade of Narzissenkreuz alongside Lyris' purified essence to dissolve himself into a pure base personality for the gestalt. However, the ritual was a failure, and Rene is almost dissolved completely into the pure waters, only partially saved by Jakob through some unspecified method.
    • Jakob takes over as the de facto leader of the Ordo. During this time, the construction of the Tower of Ipsissimus, the Ordo's base of operations, is finally completed.
      • Jakob eventually creates a Hydro Tulpa to store Rene's disembodied consciousness, using Lyris’ essence, Alain's pocketwatch and Carter's corrupted remains as the basis for his body. He names the new body "Narzissenkreuz," and the newly reborn Rene returns to leadership at the Ordo.
      • Narzissenkreuz then uses what remained of Carter's body to create Caterpillar, a hilichurl endowed with sentience. He also teaches Caterpillar human speech.
    • Emanuel Guillotin is assigned to investigate the Ordo. However, he, along with the Champion Duelist Marfisa, are ambushed and absorbed by Narzissenkreuz. From absorbing their memories, Narzissenkreuz learns that the Court of Fontaine is hot on the Ordo's trail.
  • ~400 years ago — Narzissenkreuz orders Jakob, Caterpillar, and Lyris to enter Elynas' remains, a ploy to draw the attention of the Marechaussee Hunters away from himself. Mary-Ann and Seymour are among those sent to Elynas to arrest the Ordo members.
    • During the battle, someone triggers an explosion which causes multiple human casualties and damage to Elynas' remains. Mary-Ann is fatally wounded and, for reasons unknown, has her personality absorbed by Lyris. Seymour is also heavily damaged. Jakob, however, survives the incident.
    • The Melusines are born from the wounds in Elynas' remains, caused by the shrapnel of destroyed clockwork meka flying through the air from the explosion and piercing through its body.
    • Narzissenkreuz falls into the Primordial Sea hidden beneath the Tower of Ipsissimus.
    • Caterpillar is found guilty of being an accessory to Narzissenkreuz's schemes and imprisoned in the Fortress of Meropide.
  • ~400 years ago — Neuvillette is instated as the Iudex or Chief Justice of the Court of Fontaine.
    • The newly appointed Chief Justice of Fontaine brings the Melusines from Elynas into the rest of Fontaine for the first time. However, Fontainians were hesitant to accept Melusines into their society, believing them to be creatures of calamity due to an increase in "strange incidents," coupled with Neuvillette having just been appointed as the Iudex.
    • Carole is one of the first Melusines to live among humans in Fontaine. She worked alongside the then-leader of the Special Security and Surveillance Patrol, Vautrin, in order to foster goodwill and cooperation between the two species, in spite of the distrust towards the Melusines at the time.
    • 5 years later, Neuvillette awarded Carole and Vautrin with the Medal of Peace for their hard work in developing the relationship between Fontainians and the Melusines. However, not long after, a group of hardliners opposed to Neuvillette, including Thibert and Suavegothe, committed a murder and successfully lured Carole to the crime scene. They then framed her for the murder and incited a crowd of people into ordering her detention, resulting in chaos between the Gardes and the mob. As a result, Carole committed suicide to pacify the situation. Vautrin subsequently became enraged by her needless self-sacrifice and sought revenge on the hardliners, killing them to exact his own form of justice. Neuvillette was likewise upset at the turn of events.
      • After being exiled to the Fortress of Meropide, Vautrin became a model prisoner and established the Mutual Aid Society, which used a design similar to Vautrin's Medal of Peace as their badge for the next 400 years.
      • 400 years later, the Melusine Kiara would have a similar incident where someone threatened her, prompting Neuvillette to personally investigate to ensure an incident would not happen again. Kiara, who was kept inside the Palais Mermonia for her own safety, had a dream where she encountered Carole, who remarked that she was delighted to see the Melusines' dreams of living peacefully with humans come to fruition.
    • The Melusine Sigewinne, wanting to save a human friend, accepts a potion from her teacher to give her a more human-like appearance, with more natural skin and human hands. However, she ends up breaking an ancient Fontainian law regarding turning other species into human, resulting in her being sent to the Fortress of Meropide to serve out her sentence. She chooses to stay after her sentence is lifted to help the inmates with medical needs.[476]
  • ? years ago — Alain leaves the Marechaussee Phantom and establishes the Fontaine Research Institute of Kinetic Energy Engineering.
  • Skirk arrives in Teyvat through the assistance of Surtalogi. She falls with the appearance of a shooting star into the seas of Fontaine, an event which was witnessed by a crowd of people in Fontaine, including Furina and Neuvillette.

Snezhnaya

  • <500 years ago — On Hiisi Island, Aila witnesses the birth of the new Goddess of the Frost Moon,[477] whom the Frostmoon Scions worship as Kuutar. The goddess's familiars, the kuuhenki, are born alongside her.[478]
    • The Scions place statues of Kuutar's likeness all over Nod-Krai. Aila personally carves a particularly large version on Hiisi Island, known as the Idol of the New Moon.[478]
    • Faced with the Frostmoon Scions' devotion and expectations, Kuutar agrees to act as their goddess. However, she comes to find that they feel entitled to her power and care little about her as a person, instead pressuring her into granting their prayers by giving her unwanted offerings.[479]
  • Shortly after the cataclysm, Solovei defends Reed Miller's dream of creating a "paradise" before the Tsaritsa's court, and she grants him permission to rebuild Nod-Krai as an autonomous area of Snezhnaya.[426]
  • 500 years ago ― For reasons yet unclear, the Tsaritsa cuts all ties with Barbatos.[303]
  • 500 years ago — Pierro, a former court mage of Khaenri'ah, meets with the Tsaritsa and expresses support for her goals. They establish the Fatui, a formidable military force led by the Fatui Harbingers, with Pierro as its Director.[480]
  • 400―350 years ago ― the Moon Goddess of the Frostmoon Scions, Kuutar, begins to feel that she can no longer satisfy her followers' demands. She joins the Fatui at the Tsaritsa's invitation, becoming the 3rd rank Harbinger and taking on the codenames "Columbina" and "The Damselette."[479][481][Note 26]
    • Sometime later, she fulfills a yet-unknown promise to the Tsaritsa, which uses up most of her power.

Khaenri'ah

  • At some point after the cataclysm, the Traveler's sibling wakes up first (again) and travels the world of Teyvat with Dainsleif.
  • Both the Crimson Moon Dynasty and Alberich Clan survive the cataclysm and continue to produce descendants (such as Arlecchino and Kaeya).
  • Pierro, having become embittered by the "foundational principles" of the world, meets with the Cryo Archon, the Tsaritsa, and decides to support her cause. They co-found the Fatui.[482]
  • >100 years ago — Sometime after the events of Archon Quest Chapter III: Act VI - Caribert, the Abyss Order is founded by Chlothar Alberich with the intent of taking revenge on Celestia and The Seven.[253]
    • Near the end of their journey, the Traveler's sibling realizes the "truth of this world" and parts ways with Dainsleif. Eventually, the sibling aligns themselves with the Abyss Order and declares Dainsleif to be their enemy.
    • After Chlothar is driven fully insane by the effects of the curse of immortality, he disappears and is presumed to have died in Avidya Forest after finally finding a way to break the curse. The Abyss Order continues operation, now under the control of the Traveler's sibling.

Recent Past

<100 years ago Note: The bullets below are arranged in order of relative reverse chronological order, estimated based on characters' apparent ages.

Mondstadt

  • ? years ago ― One of the statues of the seven in Mondstadt goes missing over night having been stolen by the Abyss Order for their Loom of Fate operation.[483][253][Note 27]
  • 50–40 years ago ― Amber's grandfather, a renowned mercenary leader from Liyue,[484] falls victim to a disastrous monster attack that leaves him the sole survivor.

In a fit of rage, Diluc resigns from the Knights of Favonius and abandons his Vision to investigate the truth behind Delusions for himself.[496][497]
    • Details on Crepus' death are left ambiguous in-universe: Diluc's character stories and one of Kaeya's character stories say the power of the Delusion backfired and killed Crepus,[498][499] but according to Kaeya's Vision story and his description of Diluc in the manga, Diluc personally killed Crepus to spare him the suffering caused when the Delusion backfired.[488][500] The manga's flashback is ambiguous and can favor either interpretation.[494][Note 29]

Shortly thereafter, Rhinedottir disappears, leaving Albedo only a note instructing him to uncover the "truth and meaning of this world," a recommendation letter to give to her friend Alice, and a part of the classical text Opus Magnum.[516] After finding Alice, Albedo is sent to the Knights of Favonius, who could supply him with a laboratory with which to conduct his research. There, his prowess in the Art of Khemia, a yet-unseen art in Mondstadt,[517] lands him the position of Chief Alchemist.[518] Rhinedottir would devoure the heart and fuse with Naberius.[519]
  • 6 months ago ― Grand Master Varka takes the elites of the Knights of Favonius, as well as the cavalry,[520] with him on an expedition away from Mondstadt, appointing Jean as Acting Grand Master in his absence.[521] Seamus Pegg,[522] Frederica Gunnhildr,[523] Mika,[514] and Godwin[524] are among those who went with him, though Godwin was left behind when he took the time to look for Glory's good-luck charm that he misplaced.
    • After Varka's departure, Diluc returns to Mondstadt, taking over as head of the Dawn Winery that he had entrusted to Adelinde and Elzer and taking up his Vision once more.

Unbeknownst to most people, this hero is Diluc himself.[505]
  • A thief steals an artifact from a certain eastern temple in Mondstadt, a vial supposedly containing Barbatos' breath.

    • The Fatui, led by Il Dottore, attempt to take of Ludi Harpastum to recruit more test subjects, but are thwarted in their initial attempt by Diluc and Kaeya's plan, and Dottore loses interest in the city. As some Fatui diplomats are about to leave on Dottore's orders, they run afoul of Collei, who needed a distraction to slip into the city. She uses the power of her Archon Residue to create a serpent of black fire that kills the diplomats, and the Knights of Favonius are obligated to investigate the situation to maintain relations with the Fatui.
    • Collei, seeking information about Barnabas to exact her revenge, runs into Amber, then Jean and Lisa. They give her permission to enter the library as they continue investigating the Black Fire Incident, and discover that the power that slew the diplomats is similar in nature to the Delusion (Evil Eye) used by Crepus several years earlier. Amber, who had encountered Dottore as he departed from Mondstadt, grows suspicious after noticing that both he and the Delusion smelled of Mist Pollen. She decides to try and track him down, and manages to find a Fatui device inside a hilichurl camp. However, she is then attacked by Krupp, a former Fatui researcher whom Dottore transformed into a Ruin Hunter. Together with Jean, who went to reinforce her, they take down Krupp for good and return to Mondstadt with evidence against the Fatui.
    • Realizing that the Fatui are hoping to instigate a swarm of monster attacks during the festival so they can take the credit for defeating them and saving Mondstadt, the Knights of Favonius decide to track down the Fatui devices and destroy them. In the meantime, Lisa contacts her teacher at Sumeru Akademiya to see if anyone would be able to seal Collei's Archon Residue. Amber takes advantage of the situation to let Collei experience Ludi Harpastum's festivities, but their fun is interrupted by Kaeya, who lures Collei away and attacks her to draw out her powers, confirming that she was behind the Black Fire Incident.[526] Upon realizing that Collei herself is innocent, and Amber's interruption allowing her to get away, Kaeya decides to enlist Diluc's help in creating an alibi for the girl.
    • Barnabas, who came to deal with the Black Fire Incident in Dottore's stead, confronts Kaeya about Collei, having witnessed Amber help her escape. Kaeya pretends to help, with Diluc posing as the perpetrator behind the incident to Barnabas' guards. However, Barnabas himself notices the archon power emitted when Cyno — who was sent from Sumeru Akademiya in response to Lisa's message — seals away Collei's Archon Residue. He confronts and attacks Collei and Amber after Cyno leaves to report to Lisa, but is eventually thwarted by Amber and Diluc's efforts.[527]
    • Kaeya "traps" Diluc after Barnabas' defeat, allowing the Fatui guards to arrest him and take him away, thereby absolving the Knights of Favonius from any responsibility. Shortly thereafter, Diluc breaks out, leaving behind his mask and Delusion for an uninterested Dottore. The Harbinger also grows irritated by Barnabas' failure and has his guards get rid of him.[528]
      • In the manga, Kaeya returns Diluc's Vision after he breaks out of prison, hiding it inside the Strange Vase that can be seen inside the Dawn Winery in-game.[Lore Discrepancy 14]

However, she is still alive thanks to the adeptal energy bestowed upon her and, with the seal having worn off over hundreds of years, manages to escape in the middle of the night. She stumbles upon Baizhu, who decides to employ her at Bubu Pharmacy due to her unique nature.[537]
  • >2 years ago[538] — The Chasm is sealed off due to numerous reasons: mysterious accidents,[539] miners dug up a strange, harmful "Wish Granter",[540][541] and strange earthquakes.[542] The decision was made despite the Chasm's wealth and quite surprisingly.[540]
    • The Liyue Qixing set up a seal called the Seven-Star Array to seal off the underground mine. The vital points (and weak points) of the seal lied on the set of Bedrock Keys around the seal.[542]
    • For over 2 years, the phenomenon call the Cage-Shaped Geo Formation began to erect from the bedrock of the Chasm. They have been absorbing Geo elemental energy from the surroundings, slowly eroding the structure of the Bedrock Keys.[542]

As a result, their inability to prevent the situation dealt a large blow to the Kamisato Clan.[553]
    • 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.[550]

    • 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.[470]

Alhaitham invites Kaveh to move in with him after this encounter.

In actuality, an unknown assassin hired by Marcel had shot and killed Jacques, and was in turn killed by Callas. Marcel then dissolved the assassin's body with water from the Primordial Sea, erasing any evidence that would have exonerated Callas.
    • Rather than risk Navia's safety by testifying agains the Sinthe producers in court and provoking them, Callas chose to maintain his innocence through a duel rather than go through a trial. Before dying at the hands of Clorinde, he told her to take care of Navia, a final request which she accepted.[586] In the event that they would try to harm Navia, Callas' associates would reveal information about Sinthe.

Shortly after the monster's arrival, Mare Jivari was reportedly "disappeared", being blown off Teyvat by Barbatos, after he had been given some of Istaroth's powers, to protect the rest of Teyvat from being corrupted, at the cost of several departed souls being unable to pass on.

  • The Saurian Hunter Kinich eventually discovers Ajaw in a ruin and makes a contract with him, allowing him to leave his prison and accompany him in return for using his powers on a limited and restricted basis. Kinich offers his body in return for Ajaw to use upon his passing.[592]
    • Kinich later partakes in a Night Warden War alongside Ajaw. The Abyss adapts to their invasion by taking on the forms of those close to them, and coupled with their increased numbers, overwhelms the group.

The Beginning

Notes

  1. ↑ The description of a veil that can obscure a celestial object lines up with the function of the false sky. During Visitors From the Stars (Part 2), Columbina points out their similarities and theorizes that Lusalim may have used his research results to strike a deal with the Heavenly Principles.
  2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4 2.5 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 6,000 years ago.
  3. ↑ In In the Shifting Light of the Moon, Nefer states that the phantoms of people from Hyperborea "must be from 6,000 years ago," suggesting that this marks either the peak or end of the civilization.
  4. ↑ Based on other volumes in Hymns of the Far North, Pitkamoonen is an alternate name for the Heavenly Principles. Saarelainen's fate of being carved into seven pieces at Pohjola likewise matches the description of the Third Descender's fate of being turned into the seven Gnoses by the Heavenly Principles and an unidentified figure after the Funerary Year.
  5. ↑ Stone Tablet Compilations names Morax as the co-ruler of Guili Plains alongside Guizhong, which is confirmed by the table at Mt. Aocang and the description for Memory of Dust. It also briefly mentions the Guizhong Ballista, which was not within Soraya's scope of interest during Treasure Lost, Treasure Found.
  6. ↑ Occurred at some point before the destruction of Guili Assembly 3700 years.
  7. ↑ The Biography of Gunnhildr gives the earliest known date for Boreas and Decarabian's war at 3000 years ago. However, this only records the start of the Gunnhildr Clan's story, so it may have begun well beforehand, while Venti's character stories give a more precise date for the fall of Old Mondstadt at 2600 years ago.
  8. ↑ A Note in Spring's Leich states that Barbatos, still a wind spirit at the time, reclaimed the Nameless Bard's name in the moment that Istaroth granted her power and authority to him. It is unclear whether Barbatos' ascension as the Anemo Archon, which was originally described as taking place immediately after Decarabian's demise, is meant to be the same incident in which he met Istaroth at the Thousand Winds Temple.
  9. ↑ Xiao was present at the sealing of Guizhong's remains after her death 3700 years ago. In the Story Teaser: Echoes of the Heart video, he can be seen at the 1:45 time stamp.
  10. ↑ While Rex Incognito mentions that people once used jade plaques as currency, the unnamed nobleman — a disguised Morax — reveals at the end of the book series that he made up the story about the jade plaques, likely with the intent of seeing whether it would be taken as fact generations later.
  11. ↑ 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."
  12. ↑ 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.
  13. ↑ The Chinese description for The Coordinates of Sun and Rain details: 依照传说，司草木的女神在沙漠的一角唤出能召来甘霖的精灵，名之曰「法留纳」亦即「水天」。 "According to legend, the goddess who controlled plants summoned, in a part of the desert, a spirit of sweet rains, whose name was Varuna, or "Water-Sky.""
  14. ↑ The Khaenri'ah diplomats appeared in Enkanomiya shortly before the move to Watatsumi Island was completed.
  15. ↑ It is unclear whether the first Field Tiller came to Mondstadt before or after the cataclysm. Barbara's story only vaguely frames the story between Decarabian's death and before the present day, and Boreas' account of his fight against the Field Tiller places it after he moved to Wolvendom — except there is no timeframe for that either. Note that Guizhong, who lived far before Decarabian fell, had access to Ruin Guards and Ruin Hunters, so it is possible that the first Field Tiller wandered into Mondstadt before the cataclysm and not after it, like most other Ruin Guards.
  16. ↑ It is mentioned that Thunderbird wreaked havoc on Seirai Island 1000 years before the Khaenri'ah cataclysm 500 years ago.
  17. ↑ The name "Murata" is used by the English localization of the Manga Prologue: Songs of the Wind. However, the English localization deviates from the original Chinese text by using "Murata" as a personal name. In the original text, the Lady of Fire is left unnamed while "Murata" is only used in the demonym Muratan (Chinese: 穆纳塔人 Mùnàtǎ rén, "Murata people," lit. "Munata people"). Linguistic convention indicates "Murata" is more likely to be a location or nation name than a personal name.
  18. ↑ Venti tells Vennessa about a Pyro Archon that he was personally acquainted with. This indicates that she reigned before he had gone to sleep prior to the corruption of the Mondstadt aristocracy, which happened around one thousand years after his public departure from Mondstadt according to Biography of Gunnhildr. Though Venti's Character Story, Where the Wind Doth Not Blow, indicates that he publicly departed shortly after his ascension 2,600 years ago, he is implied to stayed awake for centuries more due to having participated in the meetings of the original Seven Archons 2,000 years. This places the latest possible date for Murata's reign at 1,600 years ago.
  19. ↑ Enjou mentions that after the Muratans settled in Tenochtzitoc, they "lived in neglect for millennia until darkness returned once more", implying that the settlement took place 1000 years before the Abyssal invasion of Tenochtzitoc.
  20. ↑ This is true for all four voice acted languages.
  21. ↑ The first speaker in Pro-Exit Persuasion (the grandchild of "Grandpa") appears to have the same voice as the islander speaker in Conch Retrospection V: Grand Line in all four voice acted languages.
  22. ↑ According to Zurvan, the Darshan led by Nagarjuna arrived in the Girdle of the Sands "not long after" she met Dainsleif, and the scholars state that they "once fought [...] with the heroes of Dahri."
  23. ↑ The description of Lightkeeper's Pledge states that Reed Miller was executed, while the description of Stratagema-Cognoscenti's Mask claims that the executioner "failed to take his life." Given the mythologization of Reed Miller's life story, it cannot be said with certainty which account (if any) is true.
  24. ↑ Occurred at some point before Dottore met Kabukimono in Tatarasuna.
  25. ↑ Zurvan states that this occurred "several hundred years ago," but after the establishment of the Order of Skeptics, which was around time of the cataclysm.
  26. ↑ Columbina is indicated to have joined the Fatui during the lifetime of the original Zandik, though after he had created several Segments, which places her join date at some point after Dottore's involvement in the Tatarasuna Mystery 400 years ago.
  27. ↑ Since the Loom of Fate operation is still in its early stages in Present Day, the Defiled Statue was likely stolen somewhat recently. However, it was stolen long enough ago that Barbara says that it's an "old story" and happened "a long time ago."
  28. ↑ It is currently unknown exactly when Kaeya told his story that happened "a decade ago" to the Grand Master.
  29. ↑ In the flashback, the pacing suggests that the battle with Ursa ends, Crepus collapses, Kaeya and other knights arrive at the scene, and Crepus dies in Diluc's arm's all in very short order, with no suggested timelapses. However, when Crepus dies in Diluc's arms, there is blood on Diluc's face that was not there when Crepus collapsed after the battle ended.
  30. ↑ Crepus' death occurs 3 years before the manga's events while Diluc's character stories place it 4 years before the game's story, making the manga set roughly a year before the game. However, according to Diluc's stories, he returned to Mondstadt after Varka left on his expedition, making his return occur sometime within 6 months before the game's story. The message on the Cat's Tail Message Board about Collei says she was seen at the "last Ludi Harpastum" before the game's story, with no indication of how long ago it occurred.

Lore Discrepancies

  1. ↑ The narrative in The Lay of Al-Ahmar suggests that he once lived in Celestia. However, this is not corroborated by the narrative of The Shepherd and the Magic Bottle (which states that he learned the story of the Three Moon from the Jinn) or the description of Staff of the Scarlet Sands (which is narrated from Deshret's point of view and says that "she" — either Nabu Malikata or Greater Lord Rukkhadevata — told him the story instead).
  2. ↑ 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.
  3. ↑ Because The Shepherd and the Magic Bottle is a story of unknown and unverifiable origin and excludes any mention of Nabu Malikata, it is highly likely that some of its contents are inaccurate. The wiki currently assumes that Oasis Garden's Mourning's description is more accurate in its depiction of Ay-Khanoum's history.
  4. ↑ It is later revealed in the quest Dune-Entombed Fecundity: Part III by Liloupar that Rukkhadevata had left Ay-Khanoum before the death of Nabu Malikata.
  5. ↑ The Lay of Al-Ahmar suggests that King Deshret heeds the three retainers, builds a great maze for hundreds years, and the kingdom collapses after one night. Since the description of the book states that the information is questionable, the information from the Archon Quest takes advantage.
  6. ↑ According to The Tale of Shiruyeh and Shirin, Gurabad was part of a vassal states era which drew to an end after King Deshret and the Sage-King of the Greenwood (presumably Greater Lord Rukkhadevata) regathered their subjects and recreated their oasis paradise. There is currently insufficient information to confirm or deny its account of the timeline, although there has been no indication of a second Deshret-Rukkhadevata civilization.
  7. ↑ The events recounted in The Tale of Shiruyeh and Shirin highly differ from what is told by Liloupar; the book wrongly attribute the downfall of Gurabad to the actions of Shirin who is more or less presented as the villain of the story, however — during the World Quest Series Apocalypse Lost — we learn that the mastermind behind the events leading up to the destruction of the city of Gurabad was instead Liloupar, Shirin's mother.
  8. ↑ The manga suggests that Vennessa became Falcon of the West after her ascension, but Venti's Character Tale depicts her as a mortal after the establishment of the Four Winds, which indicates that she was both while she was alive.
  9. ↑ Breeze Amidst the Forest appears to place Rostam's death (indicated by "The Lionfang Knight was without a suitable heir") before Barbatos and Dvalin began to fight Durin. However, Elegy for the End says that Rostam fought at the same time as Barbatos, Dvalin, and Durin and that Rostam died at around the same time Durin did.
  10. ↑ 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.
  11. ↑ 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.
  12. ↑ Amber's Character Story 3 and Vision Story conflict on whether she joined the Outriders before or after her grandfather's disappearance.
    One possible resolution of this discrepancy is that trainee Outriders are not considered Outriders proper until they're no longer trainees, as Amber's Vision Story specifies that she officially became an Outrider after her grandfather's death while her Character Story 3 only says that she was admitted to the Outriders before her grandfather's death without specifying if being admitted to the Outriders means officially becoming an Outrider or if it can also mean being admitted as a trainee.
  13. ↑ Crepus' death occurs 3 years before the manga's events while Diluc's character stories place it 4 years before the game's story, making the manga set roughly a year before the game. However, according to Diluc's stories, he returned to Mondstadt after Varka left on his expedition, making his return occur sometime within 6 months before the game's story. The message on the Cat's Tail Message Board about Collei says she was seen at the "last Ludi Harpastum" before the game's story, with no indication of how long ago it occurred.
  14. ↑ The Strange Vase exists in-game and is also referred to in A Child's Secret. However, the events of the manga happen in at least three days, which means that Diluc — who hosted a large party at the beginning of the manga with esteemed guests such as Seamus Pegg — had already been back in Mondstadt for at least three days by the time he received his Vision in the vase, conflicting with his Vision story, which says that he took up his Vision the same day he returned to Mondstadt.

Translation Notes

  1. ↑ The English localization of Moonlit Bamboo Forest (III) states that disaster would befall the world if the three sisters failed to switch places in time. This is a major misinterpretation of the original Chinese text, which says that they continued switching places up until the great disaster descended. (See Moonlit Bamboo Forest § Notes for details.)
  2. ↑ In the original Chinese text for A Drunkard's Tale (III), the sentence "This wasteland is said to be a land beyond the dominion of the deities, inhabited only by [...] fallen gods, where the former palaces of the Seelie now stand empty" refers to The Seven when it uses "deities" (Chinese: 神 "gods,") juxtaposed against the term "fallen gods" (Chinese: 魔神 "demon god,") a term which, at the time the book was released in-game, only referred to gods who lived before the end of the Archon War. It can thus be assumed that the Seelie civilization — and, by extension, primordial human civilization — spanned the entire world and not just the surface-level continent of Teyvat that The Seven now rule over.
  3. ↑ The English localization says "a dozen days," whereas the original Chinese text says 十多天 "over 10 days."
  4. ↑ In Breeze Amidst the Forest, the English translation treats the paragraph beginning with "It was an especially difficult time for Mondstadt." as a cause and the paragraph beginning with "The prayers of Mondstadt's people awoke the Anemo Archon" as the effect. However, the original Chinese text treats them more like two descriptions of events that happened in the same timeframe instead of cause and effect.
  5. ↑ The original Chinese text attributes "An Investigation into the Cultural Customs of the Wind Kingdom" to an unspecified Musk Family member; Jacob Musk is not specified like he is in English.
Cite error: <ref> tag with name "Blizzard" defined in <references> is not used in prior text.

Editors' Assumptions

  1. ↑ It is presumed that this civilization was likely part of the same unified civilization as Enkanomiya due to the identical architecture.
  2. ↑ Probably also part of the unified civilization.
  3. ↑ Celestia is depicted in one of the murals below the island, and the object fits the description of the nail.
  4. ↑ As Neuvillette has memories of the "great war of vengeance", this makes it the earliest point in time when the original Dragon of Water could have died. As Egeria's existence prevents the rebirth of a new Hydro Dragon, there is little possibility for an incarnation to have been born between the original one and Neuvilette's present form.
  5. ↑ According to Fragment of Decarabian's Epic, Boreas declared war on Decarabian but was unable to break through Decarabian's storm wall. However, there is currently no in-game reference to Decarabian's response towards Boreas. It can be assumed that Decarabian either had no interest in fighting Boreas or was equally incapable of overcoming the other god. Boreas eventually chose to die of his own volition while Decarabian was slain by humans and the wind spirit, leaving their conflict a draw.
  6. ↑ Assuming Barbatos terraformed Mondstadt shortly after his ascension, Leonard's attempt to scale Pilos Peak must have come before 2600 years ago, even though Mona rounds his time period down to 2000 years ago. He also mentions Venerare, the leader of the Lawrence Clan at the start of Barbatos' Mondstadt, which means he had to have lived around the end of Decarabian's Mondstadt.
  7. ↑ It is unknown when Boreas died. The land outside of Decarabian's Mondstadt was a snowy wasteland, which would indicate that Boreas had not yet let his powers flow into the land to nourish it, but Barbatos became Anemo Archon shortly after Decarabian fell, which suggests that Boreas had already chosen to remove himself from the Archon War via death by the time Barbatos rose.
  8. ↑ It is unclear whether Chi was defeated at this time or if the seals were established years after its defeat, but the seal at the highest point of Mt. Qingce has a statue facing a "wind-swept ruin," which is Decarabian's capital city. As a result, the seals must have been established after Barbatos' rise as Anemo Archon 2600 years ago.
  9. ↑ Zhongli's fifth Character Story implies that he was already Geo Archon by the time the final divine seat was claimed and the Archon War era drew to a close.
  10. ↑ 10.0 10.1 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.
  11. ↑ Based on the frequency of Barbatos's descent and the Hexenzirkel's possible time frame, the event has been tentatively put here without clear evidence. One of Alice's titles, "Defender of Old Mondstadt," might have been coined during this event.
  12. ↑ Ingbert is never specified to be an allogene. However, Ragged Records refers to someone as one of "the chosen"; this must be Ingbert, based on Ancient Investigation Journal: Part III. So far, those who are referred to as "chosen" are largely, if not exclusively, Vision bearers.
  13. ↑ No dates have been specified for the Wanderer's Troupe's active period, but it disbanded a few years before Vennessa's rebellion at most. Ragnvindr and Kreuzleid were both around for the fall of the Troupe and would later assist Vennessa's rebellion.
  14. ↑ It is unclear when Vennessa's rebellion occurred relative to the failed Dragonspine expedition, but it likely came afterwards or coincided with it at earliest. Vennessa offends Barca on the last day of Ludi Harpastum, after which she was purchased by Lord Lawrence and sentenced to do battle in the arena to win her freedom, but we don't know how long those battles took.
  15. ↑ 15.0 15.1 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.
  16. ↑ 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.
  17. ↑ For the Traveler's sibling to have come across the midst of the cataclysm, they would have needed to travel the world at least for a period of time beforehand. However, because they only have started their journey around Teyvat with Dainsleif after the cataclysm, this means that they must have either only briefly explored the land beforehand, or went on their own journey, which of the latter is not documented anywhere inside of the storyline.
  18. ↑ As Rosalyne set out to burn demons and monsters, the cataclysm may have still been ongoing when she became the Crimson Witch of Flame.
  19. ↑ The lands that the Crimson Witch of Flame burned are unspecified, but as Rosalyne lived in Mondstadt and learned of Rostam's death upon her return to Mondstadt, it is assumed that Pierro found the Crimson Witch of Flame in Mondstadt. The exact time he found her is also unknown, but since the Tsaritsa sent Pierro to recruit for the Fatui in response to the cataclysm and the Crimson Witch of Flame was being burned alive by the very flames she turned herself into, Pierro must have found the Crimson Witch of Flame shortly after the cataclysm.
  20. ↑ 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.
  21. ↑ 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.
  22. ↑ Assuming that each "scene" is a day, these events happened 182,376 days, or over 499 years and 3 months, before The Opera of Noirceur and Blancheur. However, the in-universe date of that quest is not known, and Bennett's birthday and his mails imply that the civil calendar used by Teyvat is either the Julian calendar or the Gregorian calendar without making it clear which one is being used. As a result, it is unclear how many days beyond 499 years and 3 months passed.
  23. ↑ In the manga, Amber mentions that she overheard the argument between Eroch and Diluc while hiding in a cupboard to prank her grandfather, indicating that he hadn't resigned at the time of Crepus' death.
  24. ↑ It is unclear when exactly Albedo joined the Knights of Favonius, but between Albedo's second character story and Klee's first character story, it appears they came to Mondstadt around the same time.
  25. ↑ In the manga, Amber mentions that she overheard the argument between Eroch and Diluc while hiding in a cupboard to prank her grandfather, indicating that he hadn't resigned at the time of Crepus' death.
  26. ↑ Kaveh’s second Character Story explains that he reached schooling age and enrolled into the Akademiya around the time his father died. While his father is confirmed to have died 20 years ago in the event story A Parade of Providence, the vague wording could imply that Kaveh reached schooling age several months to a year after his fathers death.
  27. ↑ It is unclear when the two met. Alhaitham claims in his "About Tighnari" voice-over that Tighnari was part of the Forest Ranger groups that cleared away the initial Withering incident, which would suggest that they met then, but Tighnari implies in his own "About Kaveh" voice-over that he knew Kaveh before the incident, as Kaveh asked him for advice on ornamental flora to use for the project during its planning stage.
  28. ↑ The Sacred Sakura Cleansing Ritual World Quest series reveals that Kameras existed 500 years ago, and the Memento Lens was built for such a device. However, that technology was lost over time. It is unclear whether Fontaine's Kamera was built using restored ancient technology or if it was created independently.
