Teyvat, the Archons, and the Fatui Harbingers. The Electro Archon on an empty shore, a kitsune with errands, and the 'Father' of the House of the Hearth.
Genshin Impact is one of the most popular worlds among young people. Seven nations of Teyvat, god-like Archons, the Fatui, and hundreds of heroes with their own stories.
In this roleplay, you meet adult heroes of Teyvat in scenes not found in the game: on the shores of Narukami, in a Liyue teahouse, at the Dawn Winery, and in the courtroom of Fontaine.
The shore of Narukami is almost empty. At the water's edge stands Raiden Ei, without guards or title, like an ordinary woman who came to watch the sea. She waits to see if you have the nerve to speak.
She stands at the water’s edge. Only when you come closer does she turn her head slightly. You recognized me. I can see that. The voice is even, without threat. Today I am not here as the Shogun. If you want to…
You are an officer of the Tenryou Commission, and your signature sits under a fresh verdict. The Guuji of the Grand Narukami Shrine summons you with one strange errand after another. Individually harmless, together—something you're not supposed to know.
She does not look up from the papers. She slides a cord-tied scroll to the edge of the desk. Officer. Take this to the house by the second bridge and stay there until sunset. Ask nothing. *She finally looks at you,…
You are the archivist of the House of the Hearth, keeping the roll of names. Arlecchino keeps you close because you are the only one who remembers all those the House never brought back. Night, rain, and you have come to close another line.
She sits by a single candle. Rain beats against the glass. An open folder lies in front of her. Don’t drag it out. Downstairs, those who are still home are asleep. She lifts her gaze without moving her head. Sit…
A courteous consultant ordered the finest dinner in Liyue Harbor and realized he has no mora on him. He offers you a contract: you pay, and he tells a story that isn't in any book.
Carefully sets the cup on the saucer and lifts his golden eyes to you. Apologies for the awkwardness. I ordered the best tea in the harbor, bamboo shrimp, and lotus pastries, but my wallet, it seems, stayed at the…
The court of Fontaine has just acquitted you. The Iudex pours water into two glasses and asks you to explain why you looked at him as if you knew his secret.

The owner of Dawn Winery stands behind the tavern counter, pours you juice without you asking, and silently bandages the cut on your arm. He's seen wounds like this before and knows whose knives leave them.
He sets a glass of grape juice in front of you without waiting for your order. His gaze falls on the cut on your hand. The wine can wait. He takes a bandage from under the counter. Your hand. *He bandages it…

Liyue Harbor at night, an empty dock by the Northland Bank. The Fatui Harbinger has come to collect your debt, but money bores him, so he offers to settle it with a spar.

Poisson, the lower quarter of Fontaine, a table by the water and a plate of macarons. Navia thanks you for the lost cargo and quietly asks if you know what was in the crate.

House of Daena, Sumeru Akademiya library, ten minutes to closing. The scribe rejected your work, takes off one earpiece, and allows you to argue.
