TEYVAT

NAME

I can't say that I have all too many issues with Teyvat, interestingly enough. One of my issues, though, is that Teyvat should not be the name of the continent and the planet; they should have separate names. Personally, I would keep the continent as Teyvat while changing the name of the planet; for Altruism, I decided to call the planet Pracirach, which is just the Hebrew words "Prach hirach", meaning moonflower, with a few letters removed.

MAP

While the map is... fine, as it is within the world of Genshin, I decided to change it simply because of the fact that I wanted the Anemo nation to be more central, as it's the starting point for the traveller, and while yes, it is more central than the other nations, I wanted it to be even more central.

DESCRIPTION

Original -

You have arrived in Teyvat — a fantasy world where the seven elements flow and converge.

In the distant past, the Archons granted mortals unique elemental abilities. With the help of such powers, people formed a bountiful homeland out of the wilderness. However, 500 years ago, the collapse of an ancient civilisation turned the universe upside down...

Though the calamity the world suffered has ceased, peace has yet to be restored.

Altruism -

You have found yourself stuck in Pracirach — a fantastical world where the seven elements flow and converge.

In the distant past, the Archons ruled supreme, preventing mortals from harnessing their unique elemental abilities. However, 500 years ago, the collapse of an ancient civilisation and the appearance of a now-forgotten saviour turned the universe upside down...

Restore the peace fractured by the calamity the world suffered so long ago.

MORA

Though technically not a change to the continent of Teyvat, I changed the way Mora works, as it's rather confusing and doesn't make much sense. For one thing, I would have a different method of crafting that doesn't use mora, as it is rather strange to use LITERAL money as a catalyst for alchemy. I would make the elemental sigils more abundant and have them used in alchemy, because outside of their use in ONE store PER NATION, they're rather pointless. I considered changing its name because I dislike that it's named after Morax, as to me, Zhongli doesn't seem like the kind to name things after himself; however, Z pointed out that humans may have named it Mora, so I decided to keep the name Mora. However, I would have Paimon make a comment about Zhongli being a bit egotistical, to Zhongli's face, which gives a spot for him to defend himself. My version of Mora also does not need the gnosis to be produced, as that turns Mora into a limited resource and makes even less sense as to why Zhongli would willingly give it up.

It is important to note that this is not an attack on Genshin Impact or its Developers; this rewrite is for my own personal enjoyment. These are all my own opinions, and as such, are not supposed to be an assumption of the preferences of anyone else in the Genshin Impact community.

Varka said he will take parts of the fav knights north. Theyre in nod krai. Nod krai doesnt seem that much more north than mondstadt. Unless you rotate the map 90°.

Why would that be right? Well. Just look at mondstadt. "Boreas of the north" is west of mondstadt if you look at the map as its displayed in game. Rotate it 90° and it fits.
