Unveiling Inazuma: The City of Lightning and Eternity in Genshin Impact
Ever heard of a land with stormy skies? Welcome to Inazuma. It is ruled by an Electro Archon who loves eternity. Inazuma features stunning views, unique politics, and distinct landscape. This region is a Japan-like archipelago. It contrasts sharply with Mondstadt and Liyue. Inazuma brings depth and beauty to Genshin Impact. It was the third major area revealed. The wait was definitely worthwhile.
Inazuma City: A Blossom-Drenched Capital
Located on Narukami Island, Inazuma City is the capital. Imagine cherry blossoms everywhere. They are the city’s highlight. When the blooming season arrives, petals fall like pink rain. Strolling beneath these blossoms feels dreamlike. Petals will cling to your hair for days, in a good way.
Narukami Island isn’t just about looks; it’s a lively place. Most Inazuma residents live here. Inazuma City grows outwards due to its popularity. This reflects the vibrancy of the Electro nation.
Decoding “Inazuma”: More Than Just a Cool Name
Government in Inazuma: The Shogun’s Iron Grip
Inazuma is governed by the Shogunate. The Raiden Shogun leads this government. She is not just a ruler; she is the God of Eternity. Her word determines the law in Inazuma. Challenging her policies is not encouraged.
Raiden Shogun: God of Eternity, Puppet Master?
The Raiden Shogun is complex. Also called Raiden Ei or Beelzebul, she represents eternity. Yet, she isn’t who she appears to be. The Raiden Shogun is a combination of Ei and a puppet she created. Surprised?
Why the puppet? Ei retreated from the world after witnessing tragedy. She made the Shogun puppet to rule on her behalf. Meanwhile, Ei exists in a separate realm, within the puppet. This setup offers fascinating layers to her character.
Narukami Island: Beyond the City Walls
Inazuma City shines, but Narukami Island has more to offer. Beyond city walls lie charming villages like Konda Village. “Charming” doesn’t imply small; Konda has notable cuisine worth tasting. Narukami Island serves as more than a backdrop; it’s Inazuma’s heartbeat.
Inazuman Personalities: Meet the Locals
Inazuma has a vivid array of characters. Among them is Kamisato Ayato, head of the Kamisato Clan. His sister, Kamisato Ayaka, shares his prominence and elegance. Yae Miko, a shrine maiden, has avatars all over Inazuma. She represents an unusual presence!
The Inazuman playable characters are quite the lineup. This includes Kaedehara Kazuha, a wandering samurai, and Yoimiya, a passionate firework maker. Also, there’s Sayu, an agile ninja, plus the mighty Raiden Shogun and loyal Kujou Sara. Even the Kamisato Clan’s housekeeper Thoma has Inazuman lineage. Fun fact: Thoma’s dad worried about dandelion wine from Mondstadt for his father in Inazuma.
