Natlan - Act 5
Natlan is one of the seven regions of Teyvat. It is the nation that worships Murata, the Pyro Archon and God of War.
Very little is currently known about Natlan. According to Augustus Lovelace, it is located on the other side of Sumeru's desert region, the Great Red Sand.[2] Natlan is also home to natural hot springs created from volcanic activity.[3][4] Natlan's people are grouped into tribes, and each tribe follows different rules.[5] During Tenoch's era, which happened prior to the creation of Mare Jivari over 1,000 years ago, there were at least six major tribes in Natlan, though it is unknown how many there are now.[6]
Snezhnaya - Act 6
Snezhnaya (Russian: Снежная Snezhnaya) is one of the seven regions of Teyvat. It is the nation that worships Tsaritsa, the Cryo Archon. The Fatui, a military force under her control, is particularly notorious for their diehard devotion and their unscrupulous methods in enacting her will.
Snezhnaya is a region of perpetual winter storms; Nadia states that blizzards can last for a month straight and despite being in the midst of danger, its people look up to the sky and are just happy to be alive. Childe claims that people would literally freeze to death if they didn't keep moving outside.
Technologically, Snezhnaya is much more advanced than the other regions on Teyvat. Venti states that the Fatui are the strongest out of the seven regions' military, which is supported by the fact that all of their known fighting members utilize elemental attacks. The description for Agent's Sacrificial Knife calls it a "weapon made with superior Snezhnayan technology." The Fatui Skirmishers wear mechanical suits of varying degrees, and some of its members use guns and cannons in battle. Alice, who has visited Snezhnaya, recalls seeing massive factories, which she wrote down in her Teyvat Travel Guide, and Il Dottore built a factory in Liyue to conduct Ruin Guard research which is fully automated.[4]
Khaenri-ah - Act ???
Khaenri'ah, also known as the Kingdom of Khaenri'ah, is a region that is not part of the continent of Teyvat and is not under the purview of The Seven.
Khaenri'ah is most importantly known for its role in the "cataclysm" 500 years ago. During this time, monsters created by the alchemist Rhinedottir, also known as "Gold," poured out from Khaenri'ah to invade Teyvat, and Khaenri'ah was eventually destroyed by Celestia and the gods. Afterwards, all Khaenri'ahns who were not "pure-blooded" were turned into monsters, where as all "pure-blooded" Khaenri'ahns were cursed with immortality.
Despite its destruction and the transformation of many of its people into monsters, Khaenri'ah is still inhabited by humans to this day. Dainsleif — a denizen of Khaenri'ah and the narrator of Travail — describes it as one of "the hidden corners where the gods' gaze does not fall," and says that its people "dream of dreaming," unlike the majority who are "content to live, and not to dream."
