Barbatos, who refuses to govern Mondstadt directly due to following his ideal of Freedom, is the weakest of The Seven despite being the second-oldest member. Powers and AbilitiesĪn Archon's strength derives from the level of control they exert over their respective region. While the twins did not meet The Seven during this time, The Seven are aware of them and have been awaiting the Traveler's arrival.

The Tsaritsa was also greatly affected by the cataclysm, resulting in a drastic change in her personality.ĭuring this time, the Traveler and their sibling descended on Teyvat and, seeing the chaos, attempted to leave this world, only to run afoul of the Unknown God. Among those who were slain in the ensuing wars were the God of the Woods and the Raiden Makoto, who were subsequently replaced by Kusanali and Raiden Ei respectively. ĥ00 years ago, the alchemist Rhinedottir, also known as "Gold," caused the destruction of Khaenri'ah and created multitudes of monsters which ravaged the world of Teyvat. The Oceanids who served her did not get along with the new archon and went on self-exile from Fontaine, spreading all over the continent and world itself. When he woke up 1,000 years ago in response to the aristocracy's oppression of Mondstadt, he tells Vennessa about Murata and speaks about her with familiarity.Īt some point in time, the previous Hydro Archon died and was replaced by the God of Justice. Murata, the suspected current Pyro Archon, came into power some time before Barbatos went into slumber for the first time.

However, over time, five of The Seven passed away, and some of the newer archons no longer adhered to the duty of guiding humanity. The original Seven appeared to be relatively close, sharing a common duty of guiding humanity and often gathering in Liyue for drinks. For example, Barbatos became the first Anemo Archon among The Seven after the death of Decarabian 2,600 years ago, while Morax is implied to have already become Geo Archon by the time the last of the original Seven claimed their title and thus brought an end to the War. It appears that the battles associated with the Archon War are a multitude of local struggles that were grouped together by human history. During this period of time, many gods and archons roamed the land, locked in a bitter struggle for supremacy. The Archon War began an indeterminate time in the past, and ended around 2,000 years ago.
