Genshin impact is a game where you explore and help people in a magical world called Teyvat. Where you will fight many kinds of monsters such as slimes, hilichurls and treasure hoarders. There are many more monsters in Teyvat and also different kinds of bosses for gameplay. There are even dungeons.
Teyvat has seven nations, each nation is ruled or protected by a god or as they are also called, Archons. Each Archon rules over a nation, has an ambition and has an element. The element can also be given to people all over Teyvat in the form of visions.
The gods of Teyvat:
Barbatos god of freedom, Morax god of contracts, Beelzebub god of eternity, Buer god of wisdom, Focalors god of justice, Haborym god of war and the Tsaritsa god of love.
What does a vision mean?
A vision is an elemental stone with the power of the element inside. With a vision normal people in Teyvat can use elemental powers, they then become something known as alogens.
Alogens are people with visions that can become gods. The alogens can become gods for diffrent reasons but they need to have done a big feat in life, so when they die they will ascend to celestia.
Elements:
The seven elements is one thing each archon stands for. There is Anemo(wind), Geo(earth/ rock), Electro(eletricity), Dendro(plants), Hydro(water), Pyro(fire) and Cryo(ice). Each element can be given to normal people with visions.
What is celestia?
Celestia is the home and origin of all gods. It’s the place all gods live, the archons however don’t live in celestia beacuse of the fact that they have nations to protect. Since the archons don’t live in celestia they have something called a gnosis which helps them connect to celestia.
Gnosis:
A gnosis looks a bit like a chess piece with elemental power inside. That is what gives an archon their elemental power since they don’t have visions. The gnosis is also the archons only connection to celestia. One archon is stealing all the other archons visions to put a stop to celestias rule over the world, that archon is the Tsaritsa god of love.
Archons:
Barbatos
Barbatos is the archon of anemo or wind and is the god of freedom. When he tries to blend in with humans he goes by Venti the bard.

The nation he rules or in his case protect is Mondstadt the nation of freedom. Its a free counrty without a ruler. But everybody in Mondstadt fells safe and protected thanks to their archon.

But when he tries to blend in with humans he goes by Zhongli. He is the archon of geo and his ideal is contracts.

She put this puppet she controlled as the ruler and sealed herself in her sisters sword, which the puppet now uses to execute those who do not follow her ideal of eternity.
