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. These victors were thereafter known as the Seven Archons.
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.Īround 2000 years ago, the Archon War drew to a close as the seventh and final victor claimed their seat. After Decarabian's death, Barbatos became the new Anemo Archon, while Andrius decided himself unfit for the position and chose to pass on instead, using his winds to nurture the new Mondstadt that Barbatos created. In their bitter stalemate, Barbatos challenged Decarabian for the freedom of Decarabian's people and emerged victorious. Osial and Chi were both subdued by Morax, along with countless other gods.Ģ600 years ago, in the midst of the Archon War, the God of Blizzards Andrius warred against the God of Storms, Decarabian. Some time afterwards, Havria was murdered by her own people for being weak, and the survivors of Sal Terrae were scattered across Liyue. 3700 years ago, and an unknown time after the fall of the Guili Assembly, Morax gathered his people, took them south of Mt. The Guili Assembly, established by Guizhong and Morax in Guili Plains in the distant past, was one civilization destroyed during the chaos of the Archon War, scattering their people across Liyue. It is unclear how long ago the War began or why it did however, before then, gods were able to live together peacefully. The Archon War was a prolonged conflict between gods for supremacy that began several thousand years ago and ended two thousand years ago. Elemental dragons hold power equal to a god's. 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, and the wards around Inazuma used to suppress the likes of Tatarigami and Kanna Kapatcir's power.īased 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. Wildlife that comes across the remains of a god and consumes it enough will mutate and transform into a Consecrated Beast. 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. The power released upon Havria's death salinized her adherents and Sal Terrae was sealed off afterwards, but the region as a whole has shown no ill effects following her death. Andrius was able to control the flow of power and use it to the benefit of the land when he voluntarily chose death. The consequences of a god's death vary greatly, so what determines the result is currently unclear. Upon death, a god's power flows out of their body and into the surrounding environment. Gods who place their power into the land, such as Andrius and Marchosius, may be considered "dead" but can continue manifesting in the world afterwards, although how this works is currently unclear. 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 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 effective. However, after The Seven were established and its original members passed on, the newer archons no longer upheld the duty of guiding humanity. In the past, gods were expected to have a love for humanity, and use their powers as gods to guide and protect humanity Andrius, who held a low opinion of human society, was viewed as an oddity. 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.
As evidenced by Andrius and Barbatos, gods can be elevated from a lower existence and given powers from another god. Very little is currently known about the origins of gods.
