Overcome endless thunderstorms and set foot on the islands of red maple and cherry blossoms. On winding shores and towering cliffs, and in forests and mountains full of secrets, witness the Eternity pursued by Her Excellency, the Almighty Narukami Ogosho.
Inazuma (Japanese: 稲妻 Inazuma) is one of the seven regions of Teyvat. It is an archipelagic region that worships Raiden Shogun, the Electro Archon and God of Eternity — who is also the leader of its governing body, the Inazuma Shogunate. Inazuma is located approximately 4 km southeast from Liyue Harbor and closely neighbors the Dark Sea.[2]
Archon Quest Chapter II takes place in this region.
How to Access[]
Access into Inazuma is unlocked after reaching Adventure Rank 30 and completing the first part of the Archon Quest Setting Sail in Chapter II: Act I - The Immovable God and the Eternal Euthymia.

Notable Features[]
Exploration[]
Inazuma features many Electro-based mechanics and environmental hazards, including:
- Electrograna, which can be collected from Thunder Sakura Boughs and is key for solving puzzles and protecting against the negative effects of Inazuma's environmental hazards.
- Balethunder, a Climate condition that drains HP and is found in certain parts of Inazuma.
- Electrified Water, an environmental hazard that massively drains HP and is found in certain parts of Inazuma.
- Tatarigami, a state of constant thunderstorms found throughout Yashiori Island until a certain quest is completed.
- Thunder Sakura, a tree that periodically sends down lightning in any weather until a certain quest is completed.
- Thunderstones, a stone that deals damage to anyone inside a Thunder Barrier.
- Thunder Spheres, an exploration object that allows for fast air travel along predefined paths.
- Puzzles such as Lightning Strike Probes, Electro Current Puzzles, Cube Devices, and Sacred Stone Puzzles.
- A Nation Closed by Thunder, a special Climate condition that prevents the player from entering or exiting Inazuma by crossing the ocean, necessitating the use of Teleport Waypoints.
Soundtracks[]
Trivia[]
- In the trailer Teyvat Chapter Storyline Preview: Travail, under the title of the quest Omnipresence Over Mortals, there is a line written in Teyvat's Latin script. It reads "Perpetua perennis impervia" which translates to "Perpetual, perennial, impervious."
- A competition called "This Novel Is Amazing!" is held periodically in Inazuma, by the Yae Publishing House, a giant of the Inazuma publishing industry.[3]
- According to Xu, a novel called "A Legend of Sword" is "all the rage in Inazuma right now" It was written by an author in Liyue, although the exact person is unknown to the residents of Inazuma. The author is revealed to be Xingqiu.
- According to Barbara, there are blue trees that exist by the sea shore near Inazuma City.[4]
- Kaedehara Kazuha is the first playable character from Inazuma in the global release.
- Kamisato Ayaka was available in a closed beta test version of the game, but wasn't released as part of the global release of the game until Version 2.0.
- The storm barrier that was created as part of the Sakoku Decree is encountered as the climate A Nation Closed by Thunder when attempting to enter or leave Inazuma via ice bridging or Waverider. When players are too far in the storm barrier, they are teleported to Liyue Harbor if they tried to enter Inazuma or Ritou if they tried to exit Inazuma. This means that the only way to get to Inazuma for the first time is through the quest Setting Sail (Archon Quest Chapter II, Act I: The Immovable God and the Eternal Euthymia), during which the Teleport Waypoint at the docks of Ritou will be automatically unlocked, and the only way to enter and leave Inazuma afterwards is through activated Teleport Waypoints (including Portable Waypoints), Statues of The Seven, and Domains.
- All of Inazuma's 5 star characters are Event-Exclusive Characters.
- After completing the Raiden Shogun's Story Quest, Imperatrix Umbrosa Chapter: Act II - Transient Dreams, it is possible to enter Inazuma without being teleported back due to the abolishment of the Sakoku Decree.
Etymology[]
- The name of the region "Inazuma" (Japanese: 稲妻 Inadzuma) means "lightning" in Japanese.
- The modern Japanese word inazuma (Japanese: 稲妻 inadzuma) originates from an Old Japanese word spelled with the same kanji (Old Japanese: 稲妻 inaNduma), literally meaning "rice's spouse" (nowadays tsuma (> zuma) means "wife," but it was gender-neutral in ancient times). In ancient Japan, there was a lot of thunder during the rice fruition period, so there was a belief that lightning would produce rice, and thus Japanese found "rice's spouse" as a nickname of thunder.
- The Japanese word has two coexisting spellings in Modern Japanese: いなづま inadzuma (using つ tsu with dakuten) and いなずま inazuma (using す su with dakuten). Since づ dzu and ず zu are pronounced identically in Modern Japanese,[Note 1] many speakers today spell it with ず zu despite the proper spelling being with づ dzu.[Note 2] The game officially uses the ず zu spelling (いなずま), meaning it should be romanized as "Inazuma" and not "Inadzuma."
Cultural References[]
- Inazuma is inspired by Japan.
- Much like real-life Japan, Inazuma is currently only reachable by the sea around the islands.
- The Sakoku Decree of Inazuma and collection of Visions parallels the real-life sakoku policy under the Japanese Tokugawa shogunate.
- The Inazuma Shogunate, the ruling body of the country, is a direct reference to the same government used under the Japanese shogunate.
- The Inazuman Emblem consists of traditional Japanese elements.
- At the center of the emblem lies a torii, the sacred gate of a Shinto shrine.
- Inside the torii gate, there is an Electro symbol, based on a mitsudomoe. Raijin, God of Thunder, often carries drums with mitsudomoe symbols.
- The rounded rectangles seen at the both sides of the torii are called suyari-gasumi and represent clouds, fog, or haze in traditional Japanese paintings and woodblock prints.
- Under the torii gate, three comma-shaped jewels are illustrated. Among these magatama beads, the most important one is Yasakani no Magatama, one of the three Imperial Regalia of Japan and the symbol of benevolence.
- A sakura (cherry) blossom crowns the torii gate. In Japanese culture, it usually represents the aesthetics of mono no aware (Japanese: もののあはれ "the pathos of things"), or the awareness of impermanence, ephemeral beauty, and the gentle sadness of things. But considering the in-game Inazuman ideal "eternity",[5] in this case the sakura blossom may symbolize the "endless cycle of death and rebirth".[6]
- The design and theme of the Watatsumi Island is the amalgamation of the Ryukyuan religion (indigenous belief system of southwestern islands in Japan) endorsed by the Ryukyu Kingdom (1429–1879; its capital was in Okinawa) and the sea-god Watatsumi mythology in mainland Japan, as the divine sea realm Nirai Kanai in Ryukyu and the sea dragon palace Ryuuguu-jou in the mainland are often identified with each other.
- Names used in the Tsurumi Island are based on the Ainu language, spoken by the Ainu people, an indigenous people in now the northern part of Japan (such as Hokkaido Island) and now the southeasternmost part of Russia (such as Sakhalin Island).
Notes[]
- ↑ Some dialects preserve the difference between the two sounds.
- ↑ As per proper 連濁 (rendaku) rules in 現代仮名遣い Gendai Kanadzukai, "Modern kana orthography"; the first syllable of 妻 tsuma is つ tsu, therefore it should exhibit sequential voicing and become づ dzu.
