Fan Art of Characters from Genshin Impact’s Fontaine Region (Part 1) - The Source of All Waters
The world of Genshin Impact, miHoYo’s action RPG that has made quite a splash among fans the world over, is exceedingly vast—so much so that we are hard-pressed to fit in all there is to know about its many distinct nations and their people. Previously in this series, we looked at fan art from the Mondstadt, Liyue, and Sumeru regions. Today, we’ll continue our series on the seven worlds of Teyvat and let you in on a few of their secrets.
One thing that is immediately apparent to the Traveler upon arriving in Fontaine is its height. Known as the source of all waters on the continent, the nation of Hydro towers above all others, gazing down upon its people who lead orderly lives as they await their “judgment” in the not-so-distant future. At the edge of Fontaine lies the Romaritime Harbor, where much of the hustle and bustle is drowned out by the sound of the thunderous waterfall. Though this behemoth takes considerable time to ascend, even by elevator, the rewards are sweet for those patient enough to make the journey.
Other sites that may interest the Traveler are Opera Epiclese and The Fontaine Research Institute. A large opera house that also functions as the main courthouse of Fontaine, Opera Epiclese is where comedy and tragedy come together, often blurring the lines of reality. Besides being a hub of culture and the arts, Fontaine boasts technological prowess. Many of the Fontaine Research Institute’s mechanical inventions benefit Fontaine, although the Institute’s reputation remains somewhat controversial among the nation’s people.
As the Traveler continues their journey through Fontaine, they can interact with and obtain a total of 14 playable characters, each aligned with one of the seven Elements and bearing one of five Weapon types: Bows, Catalysts, Claymores, Polearms, or Swords.
Lyney, Celebrated Magician of the Court of Fontaine and Lynette’s twin brother, who is capable of bewitching hearts with a flourish of his hat.
Lynette, a “Multi-Function Magic Assistant” to her twin brother Lyney, has cat-like agility and unpredictability, making her a formidable sword-wielder.
Freminet, an expert diver who hides a boyish innocence beneath his icy exterior.
Neuvillette, whose role as Chief Justice makes him a popular, if aloof, figure among Fontaine’s people.
Wriothesley, the “Duke” of the Fortress of Meropide, who serves as the prison’s administrator and a role model for the prisoners.
Charlotte, a journalist for The Steambird who is constantly on the hunt for the “truth,” even at the expense of her own safety.
Furina, the flamboyant Hydro Archon who lives for the thrill of the courtroom.
