So, I was so fascinated by ABD's view on vision holders and their connection with the Archons. (For instance Venti lost a friend and the Anemo vision holders lost someone close to them as well, Furina hiding the truth about her identity and Hydro vision holders knowing or hiding the truth.) He made a lot of examples there and it got to the conclusion that the archon story might be about twins fighting to win the spot as the Archon, basically (I might be underexplaining it). How he got to this conclusion was to look at a common pattern when it came to the Pyro vision holders and applied it to the Pyro Archon. Every Pyro vision holder received something from their parental figure (most likely the head of the family) that encouraged them to become who they are now. Think of it as a mantel being passed down.

My theory is diffrent. I theorize that the tribes conflict with each other would be a leading conflict in the story.

As we all know Natlan is the land of war, but I didn't really see it as a violent place in my mind. Or not at first.

I imagined the wars to be tribal battles of strength and agility in order to win Murata's favor. There might be a monthly or yearly gathering where all the tribes come together and fight and the winners will win her favor.

She might come to them, stay with the tribe for the time being or reward them in some way (wealth, power, knowledge, acknowledgement).

I also theorize that these battles became a festival to the people, where the tribe bonded, each had their own fighting style, and ethics and came into contact with other tribes as well. It was friendly battles at first.

And the the Fatui came into the story.

They would try to get close to Murata to get her gnosis, but they can't really fight the goddess of fire and war. So they use her people.

I theorize that there would be a few clans that haven't received Murata's favor in years, and the Fatui came to them offering them power (Tepei story repeats itself).

These people are desperate to get closer to their Archon and take the delusions and go into battle with it, having bit of an advantage.

The Fatui would use this as a favor that needed to be repayed in the future. If the tribe wins the the Fatui wil cash in on that favor. That means that if the tribe wins and Murata comes to stay with them or reward them, the Fatui gets closer to her gnosis and they complete their mission.

This also caused a lot of distrust under tribe members and diffrent tribes. The started fighting that soon turned into a real war.

Now I'll just refer to my OC and her story. She grew up in Natlan and her family raised her and prepared her to fight since she was little. But she was part of the weaker tribe. They never saw a win.

So Il Capitano came and gave their tribe a "solution". The tribe didn't trust them at first, refusing to work with the Fatui, but the humiliation of being defeated countless times made some people rebel.

They took the Fatui's offer and used that new found power to run the tribe, my OC's brother included.

The clan split and the members who didn't agree with the new rules fled to other tribes or countries. My OC and her family fled as well, leaving her with a hatred towards the Fatui and her brother for betraying them

So that basically it. There is little research done, I only took the game lore and build my OC's story which lead to this story. Genshin's story may or may not turn put like I theorized, I'm leaning hared to the may not. But I like the idea that Natlans story would focus more on the tribes and family.
