The Inteyvat is the national flower of Khaenri'ah. It is the flower that Lumine wears in her hair.[1] The Traveler also says that they grow in their homeland.[2] It also grows in The Sea of Flowers at the End.[3]

Description[]

It is the national flower of Khaenri'ah: the "Inteyvat." It once bloomed all over the nation.

It would only last two weeks before wilting. But if you were to pluck one and take it out of Khaenri'ah, the petals would stop growing and turn hard.

Only when it finally returned to its home soil would the petals grow soft once more, and finally turn to dust...

So the Inteyvat is a symbol for a wanderer far from home, signifying the tenderness of the homeland.

Inteyvat flowers consist of five petals: four white and one light blue. The carpels and stamens of the flower are yellow, with the exception of Lumine's in-game model, of which the flowers' central parts change color based on the Element she is currently aligned with. These central parts are shown to have the ability to glow.[4] Inteyvat stems are a slightly darker purplish-blue. It appears to be fairly unknown to the modern people of Teyvat, as Emilie had never seen or heard of it before she was informed by the Traveler.[5]

During their travels across worlds, the Traveler wanted to find a place in the universe where Inteyvat flowers bloomed in full bloom. At the end of their journey across Teyvat, the Traveler's Sibling found such a place, known as The Sea of Flowers at the End.[6]

Later, the Traveler's Sibling used an Inteyvat as a base to weave new Ley Lines for Khaenri'ah in the Night Kingdom using the Loom of Fate. As a result, the Sibling created the Atlas of the New World, which held the new Khaenri'ah's Ley Lines.[7]

Trivia[]

  • Judging solely by the shapes of the flowers in-game and classifying this plant in already existing families, the Inteyvat's inspiration could have been based on the families Rosaceae (the rose family), Malvaceae (the mallow/hibiscus family), or Boraginaceae (borage/forget-me-not family).

    (‍Nothing can be more interesting than encountering new things. You've traveled to so many places, and I'm sure your range of experience is much broader than my own, so I was wondering if I could make a request... Have you ever encountered a flower, or spice maybe, that left a particularly strong impression on you? Could you tell me about it?
    The "Inteyvat" flower... Huh, can't say I've ever heard of it, but that's certainly a grand-sounding name. Alright, well, I've made a note of it. If I'm lucky enough to ever see it in person, I'll certainly let you know.
    ‍/May I ask you something? The flower you wear in your hair... I've never seen one like it before. If you saw fit to fashion it into a hair accessory, I imagine it means a great deal to you.
    The "Inteyvat" flower... Huh, that's certainly a grand-sounding name. I don't know how you came to possess it, but I'm sure it means you are very important to this world.
