A terrestrial sea in the center of Teyvat.
Following the direction of pure currents, crossing wilderness, the depths of the forests and vastness of the sea of sand, arriving at the origin of all the waters of the continent. At the top of the waterfall, in the depths of the capital atop the terrestrial sea... a story that has never been heard, a legend that has been forgotten, like a lost kingdom sunken beneath the waves, yearning for a bard to sing its drowned songs.

Fontaine is one of the seven regions of Teyvat. It is the nation that worshipped Focalors, the Hydro Archon and God of Justice.

Archon Quest Chapter IV takes place in this region.

How to Access[]

Access to Fontaine is unlocked after completing the Archon Quest Prologue: Act I - The Outlander Who Caught the Wind. Teleport Waypoints in Realm of Farakhkert, Sumeru and Marcotte Station, Fontaine are also unlocked after completing the Archon Quest Prologue: Act III - Song of the Dragon and Freedom.

Description[]

A terrestrial sea in the center of Teyvat.
Following the direction of pure currents, crossing wilderness, the depths of the forests and vastness of the sea of sand, arriving at the origin of all the waters of the continent. At the top of the waterfall, in the depths of the capital atop the terrestrial sea... a story that has never been heard, a legend that has been forgotten, like a lost kingdom sunken beneath the waves, yearning for a bard to sing its drowned songs.

A story that has never been heard, a legend that has been forgotten, like a lost kingdom sunken beneath the waves, yearning for a bard to sing its drowned songs.
Following the direction of pure currents, crossing wilderness, the depths of the forests and vastness of the sea of sand, arriving at the origin of all the waters of the continent.
At the top of the waterfall, in the depths of the capital atop the terrestrial sea, the curtain softly rises on the start of the adventure's next chapter.

Of the regions of Teyvat, Fontaine prides itself as the hub of culture and the arts; or in the words of Francis, a traveling merchant from the region, "true beauty and elegance." The newspaper The Steambird is the main newspaper of the Court of Fontaine; Mona is a columnist on it, suggesting that they have writers from all across Teyvat. According to the Steambird, Fontaine is located in the center of Teyvat[3] and is the source of all waters on the continent. Its entire continental plate is elevated, making it significantly higher than other nations. At the edge of Fontaine is a massive waterfall that stretches for thousands of meters.

Fontaine boasts its immersion in the development of technology, as referenced in multiple story points — such as the Mikage Furnace, designed by Fontaine engineers, including Xavier; and limited events — such as in Fabulous Fungus Frenzy, where the Wisdom Orb is a Fontaine-local-designed equipment designed to suppress specific behaviors in organisms.

Minor events that have featured Fontaine's technologic prowess include Core of the Apparatus, which features Fontainian inventions that can manufacture toys and furnishings, and Evermotion Mechanical Painting, which features mechanical gear systems.

There is a special energy system in Fontaine; however, it is mentioned to be on the verge of declining, causing many people to seek alternative sources.[4] Additionally, Santon states that the air in Fontaine is "practically toxic fumes" and that there is much less connection to nature there, though he is not necessarily referring to the entire region.[5]

According to Vasco, a diving certificate can be obtained in Fontaine, and diving itself is an important profession in the nation.

Liben had described Fontaine's locals as believing that some type of "judgment" was "soon to come," possibly in reference to the prophecy described in the Archon Quests about the nation being destroyed by rising sea levels to absolve its people of their "sin."

The Fontaine Research Institute is located in Fontaine, though its original main buildings were destroyed in an experiment conducted by Edwin Eastinghouse.

Other races also reside in Fontaine, such as the Melusine and, once upon a time, the Oceanids.

Notable Features[]

Fontaine features many unique mechanics and environmental hazards:

Arkhe[]

Arkhe is composed of two opposing energy types: Ousia and Pneuma. When they meet, an annihilation reaction will be triggered which generates energy.

Diving[]

Unlocking the first Statue of the Seven in Fontaine grants the Diving ability.

  • The player will not consume Stamina and cannot drown while swimming in Fontaine. Fast swimming consumes Aquatic Stamina instead, and when it depletes the player must slow down, similar to how sprinting works on land.
  • Elemental Skills and Elemental Bursts are disabled while in the water; instead, the player can obtain abilities from Xenochromatic Creatures (see Xenochromatic Abilities below).
  • Allogravity-Condensed Water Bodies are floating cubes of water found at the site of the Fontaine Research Institute explosion. The player can dive inside them just like any other body of water in Fontaine.
    • The player receives an on-screen warning if they approach the side or bottom boundaries of the cube; continuing and crossing said boundary will cause the player to start falling.
    • During the World Quest Fontaine Research Institute, Stagnating in the Rubble in Series Fontaine Research Institute Chronicles, several of the cubes are contaminated by condensing components from the exploded Arkhium reactor. These cubes have a purple tint and the player diving inside them will continuously accumulate Turbulent Energy Flow until the condensing component is found and removed. Accumulating too much Turbulent Energy Flow causes all characters to drown.
  • Entering a Current will cause the player to move quickly along a pre-determined path, only able to control movement laterally within it.
  • Hidden underwater locations and objects can be revealed by touching an Echoing Conch or using the Sonar Waves Xenochromatic ability.
  • Huge Shells contain objects which are revealed when struck.
  • The player can recover HP by touching a Recovery Orb.

Energy Storage Devices[]

Energy storage devices can be used to power machines.

  • The Fixed Storage Device is locked in place, while the Energy Transfer Device can be picked up and deployed near an object to be powered.
  • These devices are red when uncharged and blue/green when charged.
  • Some machines require power from a charged energy storage device to function:
    • Boxing Dummies (unofficial name) must be attacked to trigger an effect.
    • An Energy Transfer Terminal can be used to extract energy from one device and transfer it to another. The player may need to switch to another terminal (by pointing at it with the viewfinder) to be able to see the target object. These terminals are also used to read Cipher Letters and occasionally operate other machines.
    • Stabilizers require the player to attack it while its indicator is within a blue zone three times to trigger an effect.
  • Flying Energy Thief|Flying Energy Thieves are glowing balls found in the Geode Mine Shaft that disable a storage device carried by the player.

Xenochromatic Abilities[]

Special abilities can be obtained from Xenochromatic Creatures found underwater. A button will appear which allows the player to use the ability; hold it down to aim it.

  • The Armored Crab Armored Crab ability grants a shield and the ability to fire damaging shockwaves. Absorbing an attack with the shield aiming will increase the shockwave damage. This is the only way to defeat Bullet Barnacles, and is useful for blocking High-Pressure Water Vents to position Fantastical Floating Balls in their corresponding rings.
  • The Ball Octopus Ball Octopus allows the player to fire an energy beam which can damage enemies and manipulate certain objects. Unlike the other abilities, it can also be obtained and used on land by interacting with certain ecological research devices. The ability is particularly useful for:
  • The Blubberbeast Blubberbeast grants the ability to release waves of sonar that can detect significant objects as well as damage enemies.
  • The Hunter's Ray Hunter's Ray grants the ability to fire Fontemer Water Blades. As well as attacking enemies, it's also useful for cutting the glowing spots on Fontemer Seagrass. Cut all the spots within a short time to release whatever is trapped by the seagrass.
  • The Hat Jellyfish Hat Jellyfish grants the ability to throw a Bing-Bang Hat Bomb and remotely detonate it. This ability is particularly useful for destroying underwater rock piles, Red Meanies, and Strange Eels. The latter two, when found in groups, must be all destroyed within moments of each other or they will respawn.

Other[]

  • A Beastly Rift is a challenge where the player must defeat waves of Riftwolf Riftwolves while protecting several crystals.
  • Elynas Prisms (unofficial name) can be attacked to send an energy projection in the direction of the attack. Some Prisms can be moved, and some are inactive until struck by energy from another Prism. Some Prisms are covered with stone and must be struck by energy from another prism to remove the stone and trigger an effect.
  • Experimental Focusing Mirrors are encountered during the World Quest Treacherous Light of the Depths. Each one can be used to relay a beam of light to eventually activate a device in the center of the ruins where they are found.
  • Hydroculus Hydroculi can be offered at Statues of the Seven in Fontaine for rewards.
  • Collecting three Hydrograna will create a Hydro Core that continuously applies Hydro within an Area of Effect around the player for a short time. The effect can also be triggered with fewer Hydrograna by self-applying Hydro.
  • Jadewater Fruit are objects that can be damaged and eventually destroyed with Elemental Reactions, releasing whatever is inside (usually a Chest, a Mora Chest, or an Enemy).
  • Looking Glasses can teleport the player to and from certain locations in ???. Only the ones which glow purple are active and can teleport the player.
  • Optical Couplers are found in the Tower of Ipsissimus. During World Quest Series In the Wake of Narcissus: Act II - Savior's Wake, the player must rotate devices in the center of each room to align the couplers in order to proceed.
  • A Water Volume Detection Crystal can be activated by continually applying Hydro to it, triggering various effects.

Trivia[]

Fontaine Latin "Motto"

Screenshot from Teyvat Chapter Storyline Preview: Travail

  • In the trailer Teyvat Chapter Storyline Preview: Travail, under the title of the quest Masquerade of the Guilty, there is a line written in Teyvat's Latin script. It reads "Iustitia omnia vincit," which roughly means "Justice conquers all," and is modified from the Latin phrase labor omnia vincit.
  • Xingqiu's novel, A Legend of Sword, is extremely popular in Fontaine and Inazuma.[6]
  • Yanfei, in one of her Voice-Overs, notes that Fontaine's legal system is notoriously complicated.[7]
  • The Kamera comes from Fontaine, as told by Xu when giving the Snapshots World Quest.
  • Midori claims that Fontaine has an "air-rail" system that allows citizens to travel along the sky, as Ramsay wrote in his diary. However, there is no substantial evidence of this, and in the World Quest International Travel Log, the player finds out that most of what Ramsay writes in his diary is fictional.
  • Rock 'n' roll originates from Fontaine.[8][9]
  • All Oceanids are from Fontaine. They are loyal to the previous Hydro Archon, Egeria, and allegedly left their native region because of the ideals of the new Hydro Archon, Focalors.
  • In Vol. 2 of Heart of Clear Springs, Fontaine is described as "sapphire-blue."
  • Fontaine is currently the only nation that does not have any One-Time Domains.
  • After Focalors' execution by the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale and the destruction of the Hydro Archon's divine throne, Fontaine is currently the only region without an Archon, with the duties related to the Hydro Archon being instead passed to Neuvillette, the Hydro Dragon Sovereign.
    • This also makes Fontaine to be the first nation ruled by a Dragon Sovereign.

Etymology[]

  • Fontaine means "fountain" in French, which is fitting for the home of the Hydro Archon.
  • The Chinese name for Fontaine, 枫丹/楓丹 Fēngdān, may be a clipping of "Fontainebleau" (枫丹白露/楓丹白露 Fēngdānbáilù), a commune in the metropolitan area of Paris known for its castle sitting right by the water.

Cultural References[]

  • Given the nation's technology, its emphasis on "true beauty and elegance," and the attire of its NPCs (e.g. Caspar), Fontaine may be partially inspired by the Belle Époque, a period of French history in the late 19th century characterized by technological advancement and artistic flourishing.
    • Some of Fontaine's cultural elements seem to take inspiration from other cultures in and around France, such as Basque, Corsican, and English.
  • Visually, Fontaine is inspired by the Baroque and Art Deco styles, while its geography is in part based on that of the Alps.[10]
  • Fontaine's theme as heard in the Tevyat Chapter Storyline Preview: Travail seems to be based on "Aquarium," the seventh movement of The Carnival of the Animals, a musical suite by the French Romantic composer Camille Saint-Saëns.

Notes[]

  1. The Hydro Archon's divine throne was destroyed along with Focalors during Chapter IV. As a result, there will be no further Hydro Archons. Neuvillette has taken up the affairs related with the title.
