Gods (Chinese: 神 Shén) are beings from the Human Realm with great control over elemental energy and whose lifespans are typically much longer than that of mortals. Most of Teyvat's gods are beholden to Celestia, although several gods have displayed wariness or even resentment towards the heavenly citadel.

Before the Archon War, many gods roamed the continent of Teyvat. For reasons unknown, seven divine seats opened up in Celestia,[1][2] causing the continent to descend into a protracted series of conflicts that ended 2000 years ago. Over the course of the war, most gods were slain or sealed until only seven victors remained; each victor became their respective element's Archon and ruler of one of the seven nations,[Note 1] using their powers to transform its terrain and governing the land according to their ideals.

Overview[]

Very little is currently known about the origins of gods. As evidenced by Boreas and Barbatos, gods can be elevated from a lower existence and given powers from another god.[3][4] Morax, Raiden Makoto, and Raiden Ei's origins have been left a mystery, and have presently been referred to as gods since the start of their recorded histories.

In the past, gods were expected to have a love for humanity, and use their powers as gods to guide and protect humanity; Boreas, who held a low opinion of human society, was viewed as an oddity.[5][6] However, after The Seven were established and its original members passed on, the newer archons no longer upheld the duty of guiding humanity.[7]

Gods cannot be completely destroyed — even if a god's physical form is destroyed, their consciousness is worn away, and they are considered "dead," their emotions and power remain.[8] Havria's relics kept their special properties thousands of years after her death and were ultimately thrown into the ocean by Zhongli so that humanity would not seek the power of a long-dead deity. Gods who place their power into the land, such as Boreas and Marchosius, may be considered "dead" but can continue manifesting in the world afterwards,[9] although how this works is currently unclear.[Note 2]

Upon death, a god's power flows out of their body and into the surrounding environment. The consequences of a god's death vary greatly, so what determines the result is currently unclear. Boreas was able to control the flow of power and use it to the benefit of the land when he voluntarily chose death.[10] The power released upon Havria's death salinized her adherents and Sal Terrae was sealed off afterwards,[11] but the region as a whole has shown no ill effects following her death. Meanwhile, a god's hatred will have negative effects on the surrounding environment and the people who reside there; for example, the Tatarigami on Yashiori Island afflicted inhabitants of the island with mysterious diseases and drove others to insanity. Wildlife that comes across the remains of a god and consumes it enough will mutate and transform into a Consecrated Beast. On the other hand, Remus's death had no apparent negative effects on the Sea of Bygone Eras; instead, his will protected the ruins of Capitolium, preserving them remarkably well over 2,000 years.[12][Note 3]

The Seven have come up with various ways of counteracting such effects, such as the Yakshas in Liyue who fight against the power of ancient gods,[13] and the wards around Inazuma used to suppress the likes of Tatarigami and Kanna Kapatcir's power.

Story[]

Ancient History[]

Based on current knowledge, most if not all gods came into being after the establishment of the Human Realm and hold the Human Realm's power, making them incompatible with the Light Realm and Void Realm's powers under normal circumstances.[14] Elemental dragons hold power equal to a god's.[15]

Archon War[]

See also: Archon War

The Archon War was a prolonged conflict between gods for supremacy that began several thousand years ago and ended two thousand years ago.[1] The war allegedly began over the seven divine thrones which opened up in Celestia,[2] which may coincide with the creation of the Gnoses following the "great war of vengeance" which greatly weakened the Heavenly Principles.[16]

Instead of warring, Sumeru's gods, King Deshret, Nabu Malikata, and Rukkhadevata forged an alliance in the ancient city of Ay-Khanoum.[17] However, King Deshret still engaged in warfare against other gods in Sumeru beyond the alliance, such as Remus.[18] Following Nabu Malikata's corruption by the Abyss,[19] the city was destroyed by a Celestial divine nail,[20] and Rukkhadevata left Deshret's lands, never to return.[21]

The Guili Assembly, established by Guizhong and Rex Lapis in Guili Plains in the distant past, was one civilization destroyed during the chaos of the Archon War. Shortly after the fall of the Guili Assembly 3,700 years ago, Rex Lapis and the adepti gathered the survivors and took them south of Mt. Tianheng, where Liyue Harbor was established.[22] Some time afterwards, Havria was murdered by her own people for being weak, and the survivors of Sal Terrae were scattered across Liyue. Rex Lapis subdued countless other gods and monsters, including Osial, Chi, and Orobashi, the latter whom survived and fled to Inazuma.[Note 4]

2600 years ago, in the midst of the Archon War, Boreas warred against the God of Storms, Decarabian. In their bitter stalemate, Barbatos challenged Decarabian for the freedom of Decarabian's people and emerged victorious. After Decarabian's death, Barbatos became the new Anemo Archon,[23] while Boreas decided himself unfit for the position and chose to pass on instead, using his winds to nurture the new Mondstadt that Barbatos created.[6]

In Inazuma, the twin gods Raiden Makoto and Raiden Ei emerged victorious, with Makoto assuming the position of Electro Archon and her sister sharing many of her duties while acting as her kagemusha. The only rival god known to have been slain during this period was the god of Watatsumi Island, Orobashi, though the Thunderbird of Tsurumi Island, Kanna Kapatcir, was revered as a god by her people. Notably, the duty of slaying such foes during the Archon War fell upon Raiden Ei, rather than the Electro Archon.

In Fontaine, Remus was the sole god residing in Fontaine's surface during the Archon War, due to Egeria's imprisonment beneath the waves at the behest of the Heavenly Principles.[24] The war in Fontaine instead took the form of Remuria's expansion and subjugation of various tribes, and a resistance movement led by the mortal, Erinnyes of Aremorica, who spread the faith of Egeria. Following the death of Remus at the hands of Phobos, and the drowning of Remuria, Egeria was freed from her prison and granted rulership over Fontaine as its Archon[25].

In Natlan, the Archon War period instead saw repeated conflicts between the dragons and humans of Natlan. The first Pyro Archon was a human named Xbalanque who defeated the still-reigning Sovereign Xiuhcoatl, and was thus granted authority over the divine throne and ascended to godhood by the Ruler of Death, Ronova[26], as planned by the dragon Sage, Waxaklahun Ubah Kan[27]. However, the god Yohualtecuhtin of the Night Kingdom had numerous relations with humans in ancient history, first helping create the Wayob for the tribes,[28] and later helping create the "Rules" of Natlan such as the Ode of Resurrection with the help of Xbalanque and Ronova.

Around 2000 years ago, the Archon War drew to a close as the seventh and final victor claimed their seat. These victors were thereafter known as the Seven Archons, and came to possess one of the Gnoses as well as a portion of the elemental Authority for their element. Gods who refused to live under their rule fled to islands within the Dark Sea, regions beyond the control of The Seven, where they became evil gods.[29]

Of the seven victors of the Archon War, only two remain by the start of the game's story: Barbatos and Rex Lapis.[30][31] While Raiden Ei was present during the Archon War, she did not assume the position of Electro Archon until her twin sister Makoto perished during the cataclysm 500 years ago. Most of The Seven's current members replaced the original founders of Teyvat's seven nations.

Present Day[]

Among The Seven, each Archon is associated with and worshipped by one of Teyvat's seven nations. Most of a nation's elemental environment is based on its Archon's element, although areas affected by divine nails, such as Dragonspine, the Great Red Sand, the Night Kingdom, and Tsurumi Island tend to be noticeably different from their surroundings.

An Archon's power is directly tied to their level of control over their nation. As a result, Venti — who travels as a bard and refuses to directly control the people of Mondstadt — is, by his own admission, extremely weak by Archon standards.[32] However, this is later indirectly challenged by Nahida, who states that an Archon's power is tied to how much faith their people have in them. When a person's powerful wish reaches the heavens, Archons are obligated to give that person a Vision, which is a shard of the elemental Authorities[16] and allows the recipient to manipulate elemental energy. Vision wielders are known as "allogenes" and are also privileged with the chance of rising to godhood.[33] In the year that the Vision Hunt Decree was in effect in Inazuma, no new Electro Visions appeared throughout Teyvat, leading scholars to conclude that the Archons' wills play a role in Vision distribution.[34] However, Ei is surprised to hear of this phenomenon herself and refutes the scholars' conclusion.[35]

Notes
  1. ↑ Though all living individuals in this table continue to bear their Divine Throne, due to ambiguities regarding whether one can be considered an Archon without carrying a Gnosis, this column only differentiates between Alive, Deceased, Erased, and Unknown. Erased is only used for those who are removed from Irminsul.
  2. ↑ Despite being over 6,000 years old, Morax was only considered the Geo Archon after claiming one of the seats among The Seven. When exactly that occurred is unknown, although Character Story 5 indicates he was not the last to ascend.
  3. ↑ 3.0 3.1 Although Baal is used to collectively refer to both Makoto and Ei, Wishes indicates that the name Baal belongs to Makoto and did not belong to Ei. As such, where applicable, Baal is considered to only be Makoto's name.
  4. ↑ Although Makoto and Ei won the Archon War together, Ei is not considered one of the original Seven. In addition, according to Treasured Tales of the Chouken Shinkageuchi, after the two won the Archon War, Ei sacrificed her body so Makoto could ascend and become the Electro Archon. Afterwards, Makoto recalled her spirit and recreated her body.
  5. ↑ Lesser Lord Kusanali is now believed to have always been the Dendro Archon as a consequence of Greater Lord Rukkhadevata's existence being removed from Irminsul.
  6. ↑ The Hydro Archon's Divine Throne was destroyed along with Focalors during Chapter IV. As a result, there will be no further Hydro Archons.
  7. ↑ Furina is not considered an Archon, as she did not carry any of the divinity of Focalors, possessing neither gnosis nor Divine Throne, and was fully human. This is further indicated by the conversation between Focalors and Furina shown in The Opera of Noirceur and Blancheur, in which Focalors tasks Furina with pretending to be a god without being or attempting to become one. Despite the urgency and great importance of Furina's task, Focalors did not provide Furina with anything that would help make Furina's false identity more convincing, which suggests that Focalors could not provide for Furina, and Furina did not possess, any true information or power that would allow Furina to lay an even partially truthful claim to the role of Hydro Archon.
  8. ↑ After separating out her divinity and memories, Focalors named the human she left behind "Furina." It is not known where this name comes from, but Focalors saw Furina as essentially a human version of Focalors as well as exactly the kind of human Focalors wished to be.
  9. ↑ In Masquerade of the Guilty, Focalors states that Egeria's justice was "existence," and that Focalors's justice was the "continuation" of that existence. Both gods are Gods of Justice.
  10. ↑ The Archon of Natlan is not a god, but is instead a mortal granted the authority of the divine throne by the intervention of the Ruler of Death, Ronova, following the defeat of the Pyro Sovereign Xiuhcoatl at the hands of Xbalanque. According to Mavuika, a mortal who ascends to the divine throne has their "inner flame" awakened upon doing so, and receives power and knowledge equivalent to a god.
  11. ↑ Kachina states that Mavuika "achieved an overwhelming victory" in a pilgrimage where she became Archon, despite not knowing that she was Archon 500 years prior.
  12. ↑ Mavuika was ascended during the Cataclysm but placed her life in the Sacred Flame to be resurrected 500 years ago to the present day. She mentions that a human life depends on burning Sacred Flame, meaning she lives as long as the Sacred Flame keeps burning.
  13. ↑ 13.0 13.1 Venti refers to the Pyro Archon as the "Lady of Fire" when meeting Vennessa 1,000 years ago.
  14. ↑ 14.0 14.1 As the Pyro Archon position is inherited by mortals through winning the pilgrimage, they remain subject to mortality. It can safely be assumed that all previous Pyro Archons lived normal human lifespans and are currently deceased.
  15. ↑ In Teyvat Chapter Storyline Preview: Travail, Dainsleif suggests the Tsaritsa's ideal was originally Love. However, he refers to it in past tense, while Zhongli avoids speaking about it during Downtown, leaving it unconfirmed.
  16. ↑ The Tsaritsa was likely the Cryo Archon 500 years ago based on Venti's description of her in Ending Note.

Note
  1. ↑ It is currently unclear whether the seven nations' territories were already determined before the start of the Archon War or not.
  2. ↑ Boreas is explicitly stated to have died but can manifest himself at Wolvendom to answer a challenge and is fully conscious with his memories intact. Marchosius was only described as having entered a deep slumber, but he manifested at the shrine while Xiangling was asleep with the suggestion that he was not present when she entered the shrine. As a result of placing his power into the land, Marchosius also lost most of his mental faculties and is no longer capable of speech, unlike Boreas.
  3. ↑ While Remus sacrificed his life to unleash the power of the Symphony, it was the Symphony's power that caused the tsunami that sank Remuria, not his death.
  4. ↑ Orobashi narrates in Oathsworn Eye's description that it was defeated by the "Golden God" (Chinese: 贵金之神). The Chinese term was later used in Neuvillette's "About the Geo Archon" Voice-Over, although it was localized into English as "Deus Auri."
  5. ↑ The Chinese version of Scattered Piece of Decarabian's Dream's description refers to Decarabian as a 风神 "Wind God," which is a term typically translated as "Anemo Archon" in the English translation. As a result, the English version calls Decarabian an Anemo Archon even though he was not one of The Seven Archons; Barbatos, who ascended to godhood after Decarabian's fall, is the first and only Anemo Archon among The Seven.
  6. ↑ Although Nahida states during The Kabukimono's Finale that Scaramouche "tried to achieve godhood" but "was unsuccessful" based on the Traveler's retelling of Scaramouche's story, Where the Boat of Consciousness Lies is filled with numerous indicators, including statements from Nahida herself, that Scaramouche did become a god in some form. As such, Scaramouche's godhood as shown in Where the Boat of Consciousness Lies takes precedence over Nahida's single contradictory line in The Kabukimono's Finale.
  7. ↑ 7.0 7.1 Whether ascension to Celestia automatically equates to the attainment of godhood is still inconclusive. In Ending Note, Venti states "In truth, every wielder of a Vision is one who can attain godhood and ascend to Celestia." Of the people known to have ascended, there is still no evidence of them bearing Visions, and it is still ambiguous whether people without Visions can ascend Celestia, attain godhood, both, or neither.
  8. ↑ Was worshipped as a deity, actual godhood is uncertain.
  9. ↑ Kapatcir was given this name by Ruu, who forged a close friendship with this deity.
  10. ↑ Naberius is suspected to be a god, and possibly even a former archon, based on the fact that this item's name is similar to the Chinese name for Gnoses, 神之心 "Heart of God."

Trivia[]

  • The term God is unisex, with female figures like Ei and Nahida being referred to as Gods rather than Goddesses. This is not absolute however, such as with the Goddess of Flowers.
  • Each gemstone used for ascension has the words and blessings from The Seven for the reader.
  • Gods can take whatever form they please; Morax has taken the form of a young man, a woman, and an elderly man,[84] with Zhongli as his most recent vessel. Venti's vessel is based on the Nameless Bard's.
    • Vessels constructed through an archon's power have different compositions from regular human bodies; for example, Venti cannot be healed normally (in story, not in gameplay), while Zhongli indicates that he cannot get sick. That said, Venti is somehow allergic to cats. These human vessels are nonetheless not untouchable, as Venti is visibly winded and knocked unconscious from La Signora's attack.
  • Due to stylistic choices made by original Chinese text and the English localization, some of the terminology pertaining to gods has been the subject of debate.
    • In Chinese, gods before the rise of The Seven are often distinguished by including 魔神 "Demon God" in their titles, but the English localization does not keep this term and usually translates it as "God" or omits it entirely. For example, Decarabian's title of 烈风的魔神 "Demon God of Gales" was localized as "God of Storms," while Guizhong's 尘王魔神 "Dust Lord Demon God" was localized as "Lord of Dust" and Osial's 漩涡之魔神 "Demon God of Vortexes" was localized as "Overlord of the Vortex."
    • Conversely, the term "Archon" is used in the English localization to denote The Seven's members, based on the game's Gnostic inspiration. However, there is no equivalent term in their Chinese titles, which led to early localization issues where many instances of 神 shén, "god" were indiscriminately translated as "archon" without taking context into account. In Version 1.3, the English localization adjusted most instances of "archon" to primarily refer to The Seven, but some instances have not been changed.
      • The Chinese name for Archon Quests is 魔神任务 "Demon God Quests," indicating that the Traveler's journey will involve the gods of old and not just The Seven.
    • The original Chinese text distinguishes some of Morax's accomplishments before becoming one of The Seven with the title 岩之魔神 "Demon God of Geo," as seen in Heart of Glaze and Zhongli's Character Story, That Which Rises From the Sea. In both instances, the English localization opted to translate the title as "Geo Archon" anyways. While Heart of Glaze made no attempt to distinguish the phrase from typical occurrences of "Geo Archon" (which would normally be either 岩神 or 岩之神), That Which Rises From the Sea added the phrase "long before he took that title" to clarify that the story occurred before Morax became one of The Seven.

Etymology[]

  • The term "archon" is a Greek word that refers to "A person who claims the right to rule, or to exercise power or sovereign authority over other human beings." Genshin Impact uses its Gnostic usage,[85] in which the archons are seven supernatural beings subservient to the demiurge, the creator of the material universe who is beneath the Monad, the true God. Each archon presides over one of the seven planets. By reaching gnosis, an understanding of divine knowledge, one can transcend the confines of the mortal world and escape the dominion of the archons.
    • In Manichaeism, a religion derived from Gnosticism, there are five archons who together make up the Prince of Darkness. Here, the Archons are seen as an undeniably evil force.
  • The Chinese term for gods that predate The Seven, 魔神 "demon god," stems from the standard Chinese translation for the demons in the Ars Goetia — from which a deity's name is derived — is 所罗门七十二柱魔神 "Solomon's 72 Demon Gods."
  • The Chinese and Japanese term for "allogenes" is "primordial god" (Chinese: 原神 Yuánshén; Japanese: 原神 Genshin), the same word used in the game's title.
    • In Gnosticism, "Allogenes," also known as the "Stranger," is a Gnostic figure who is half-human, half-divine, and has the power to communicate with other realms. In some writings about Allogenes, he is said to have become fully divine.
