Fan Art of Genshin Impact Characters from Mondstadt - As Free As The Wind

The world of Genshin Impact, miHoYo’s action RPG that has made quite an impact on fans the world over, is exceedingly vast. So much so that we couldn’t fit in all there is to know about the many distinct nations and their people. Today we’ll begin our series on the seven worlds of Teyvat and let you in on a few of their secrets.

Let’s kick things off with the basics. The world of Teyvat is broken up into seven distinct nations: Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, Sumeru, Fontaine, Natlan, and Snezhnaya, each governed by a deity who wields a particular Element: Anemo, Cryo, Dendro, Electro, Geo, Hydro, and Pyro. This group of deities, known as the Archons, are said to make their home on the floating island of Celestia, along with mortals who attain godhood through extraordinary and heroic feats.

Ruins of the fallen nation of Khaenri'ah, which was destroyed by the Archons 500 years before our story begins, can be found underground and lack a presiding deity. Your player, the “Traveler” who either goes by Aether or Lumine depending on your choice, finds themselves trapped in this unknown world and is separated from their twin sibling. Joined by Paimon, an NPC whom the player saves from drowning, the Traveler begins their journey across Teyvat’s expansive landscapes to be reunited with their sibling.

Mondstadt is the first region the Traveler explores on their journey. This northeastern city is known as the City of Freedom and technically falls under the jurisdiction of Barbatos, the Anemo Archon. This region is broken down further into five areas: Brightcrown Mountains, Dragonspine, Galesong Hill, Starfell Valley, and Windwail Highland, each with subareas and interesting locations to discover. As the Traveler continues their journey through Mondstadt, they can interact with and obtain a total of 18 various characters, each aligned with one of the seven Elements and bearing one of five Weapon types: Bows, Catalysts, Claymores, Polearms, or Swords.

For example, Jean Gunnhildr, the Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, is a Sword-wielding Anemo character who tirelessly works to maintain the peace in Mondstadt.
