Who is Egeria in Genshin Impact?
Previous Hydro Archon
In the depths of the Institute of Natural Philosophy ruins that you explore during the Aqueous Tidemarks quest, you can find the ''Ancient Natural History Excerpts.'' This text indicates that Egeria created the first Oceanid, born when she 'shed the first tear.'
It was later confirmed by Wriothesley during the Cataclysm's Quickening Archon Quest that Egeria was indeed the previous Hydro Archon.
| Ancient Natural History Excerpts |
|---|
| ... Oceanids are beautiful creatures nurtured by the land of Fontaine. According to legend, the gentle Egeria shed the first tear, from which the first Oceanid was born. Some say that Egeria felt great sympathy for dragons, and others say she felt great sadness over the eventual fate of humanity. Now, all that we have left is a metaphorical representation whose true meaning remains unclear: "The lizard's bones dissolved into mud, from which swans emerged." The newborn Oceanid was bestowed with the task of comprehending all forms of life: to seek an understanding of the diverse array of species and to love every creature. It emerged from the sea of life, possessing the power of metamorphosis. Egeria wished it to use this power to etch the essence of living creatures into its being and it gradually developed a yearning for life. Once it gained enough understanding of humanity, it shed its first tear upon the earth. We have used "she" to refer to the first and her lineage ever since. This is the origin of Oceanids. (A small addendum: Perhaps you believe that this kind of document has no scientific value, asserting that physical evidence and records suggest that the origin of Oceanids predates Egeria and the even earlier realm of Remuria, and you reckon that only Evolutionary Diversity of Forest Pigs: Field Tracking Research on Geographically Distinct Forms counts as genuine research. So, I have a question for you: Do you dare to explore our own origins? The gods unleash thunder in anger, and goddesses cry oceans in sorrow — these things are real.) Oceanids display considerable disparities in cognitive capacity, partially due to differences in lifespan resulting in very different levels of experience and knowledge regarding the world, but substantial individual variation in the Oceanids themselves also contributes to this phenomenon. Some Oceanids are simply too obtuse to complete tasks related to the continent's water systems and are thus confined to Fontaine, where they assist in soothing human emotions. ... The increase in the number of Oceanids (we have previously considered breeding, proliferation, and reproduction, but none are suitable terms) does not require any pairing off or matchmaking. After gaining sufficient understanding and emotion, they approach the Hydro Archon or an elder for permission to claim... um, a thing, which results in their division into little Oceanids. This thing is highly abstract, and in order to make its name more comprehensible to humans, we refer to it as a "Helixsplit." However, what it is exactly remains unknown. Some believe it could be a drop of pure water essence, nurtured by the emotions and intelligence of the parent, eventually giving rise to life. Others speculate that it might be a single sound, a name, possibly even a forbidden utterance, capable of stirring the cycle of elemental forces and drawing on the desire that doesn't exist with the pure water bodies of Oceanids, allowing new life to be attracted into the world. Still, others propose that it serves as a permit, granting permission for the dreams and desires within Oceanids to be bestowed with a new name — much like the names of childhood dreams throughout the ages. However, this is a story between Oceanids, and humans have no hope to know it. The propagation of all Oceanids needs to be officially registered. If something were to happen to Egeria (No disrespect intended- may she keep some blessings for herself), the Oceanid elders will also ensure the continuation of their species. But in the event of a more calamitous occurrence, what will happen to the Oceanids? |
Supported the Fortress of Meropide
According to Wriothesley, during the rule of Egeria, criminals were driven away by the people to the seaside. With nowhere to go and nothing to do, they began to repent and asked the Hydro Archon if there was anything to do.
Egeria took pity on them and asked them to guard her secret deep underneath the waves. Thus, the convicts started to build the Fortress of Meropide underwater and eventually became a community.
Heard in Overture Teaser: The Final Feast
Egeria makes an apperance in the form of a voice within The Overture Teaser: The Final Feast; you can hear Egeria at the start of the teaser while Freminet is shown sinking slowly into the water's depths.

Fontaine Release Date and Map Guide
The Death of Egeria
From the in-game archive text description of the Vourukasha's Glow Vibrant Pinion, it explains the death of Egeria, sometime around the period of the Cataclysm 500 years ago, which also known as the era of the Archon War.
Many Lochfolk such as the Oceanids and other forms like Idyia exiled themselves after Egeria's passing. Due to the waters of Fontaine being consumed with pain and hatred, many have left their homeland since.
During the dispute in Tunigi Hollow, the former Hydro Archon passes away and turns into the water of Amrita. The remains of her being resides in the area that is currently known as the Amrita Pool.
Amrita Pool Location and Guide
Her Consciousness and the Sign of Apaosha
Greater Lord Rukkhadevata stored what was left of her in a tree near the pool of Amrita. While helping Sorush purify and seal the Sign of Apaosha, they awakened Egeria's remaining consciousness to use the Amrita to remove the defilement from the land.
Khvarena of Good and Evil World Quest
Created Fontainians From Oceanids
Egeria noticed that her Oceanids wanted to live on land, so she transformed them into humans, specifically the people of Fontaine. Egeria infused their blood vessels with Primordial Seawater to allow them to live on the surface.
This explains why a Fontaine native will dissolve when they touch Primordial Seawater.
Fontaine's Original Sin
It turns out that creating humans was the original sin of Fontaine and the Heavenly Principles never permitted Egeria to create her own beings.
As punishment, they made the Primordial Seawater rise to eventually flood the entirety of Fontaine, which will wipe out Egeria's creations in the process.
