The false sky[1] is a theory stating that Teyvat's sky and stars are false.
An alleged proof of the false sky appeared in Natlan as a split-sky phenomenon.[1][2]
Theory[]
The false sky theory is mentioned for the first time by Scaramouche, stating that the sky and the stars are "a gigantic hoax. A lie."[3]
Nahida learned about this theory from Dottore in exchange of her Dendro Gnosis. He explained it is "the secret hidden by Irminsul concerning the 'truth' of this world."[4]
In the description for Staff of the Scarlet Sands, King Deshret claims Malikata "described the night sky adorned with three bright moons," repeating that "the number of moons should be three" and postulating that "the celestial sphere was just an illusion..."[5]
The Split-Sky Phenomenon[]
The fragments visible after the split-sky phenomenon closed
During the Abyssal invasion of Natlan, Mavuika channeled power from the six modern incarnations of the heroes who fought with her during the cataclysm along with Ronova's power to destroy the rift that was responsible for the invasion. The sheer strength of her strike was potent enough to break through Teyvat's skies, revealing an alleged proof of the false sky along with a shattered moon-like planet.[2] However, most of the people paid little heed to it, though Mavuika later disclosed to the Traveler that it was worth investigating, as they had not been observed in any other nation. Therefore, she guessed that the Heavenly Principles wished to keep the matter secret, and hoped that they would not cause her too much trouble over it. She decided she would simply tell the masses that it was an "astronomical anomaly."[1]
The split-sky phenomenon closed shortly afterward, but the shattered celestial body it disclosed is now faintly visible from Natlan, just to the right of the Great Volcano of Tollan when viewed from Toyac Springs. It is notable that "stars" can appear in front of the fragments, supporting the theory that they are behind a false sky. Said fragments can only be seen while in Natlan, fading out of view around the small shorelines which connect Natlan and Sumeru.
