The lore of Genshin Impact is a complex tale involving Archons, demons, and various gods. The mortal humans that live in the land of Tevyat bow down to the archon who controls its nation. Each nation comprises a story of itself with an engaging roster of characters. The roster so far ranges from knights to mysterious outer realm beings who show up of their own accord.

The tale of Liyue and its protector, Archon Rex Lapis, was no different than its peers. He appointed a group of Adepti to oversee and overcome the evil that plagues these lands. Years removed from the time of their birth, only one has remained and this is the story of the last standing Adepti who was truly incorruptible.
