Nod-Krai Lore

Southernmost City in Snezhnaya

In the 5.1 Marvelous Merchandise event, Liben talked about the city of Nod-Krai, which is found south of Snezhnaya. He also described it as a place where ''people from all over Teyvat gather.''

Mavuika also described Nod-Krai as a land with a long history not far from Snezhnaya, near the end of the Chapter 5 Act 5 Archon Quest. In the Version 5.3 Livestream, it was described as an autonomous area in southern Snezhnaya.

Paha Isle

Hiisi Isle

Blue Amber Lake

Lempo Isle

Nasha Town

Several key locations in Nod-Krai were previewed in the Song of the Welkin Moon Nod-Krai Concept Overview, along with bits of lore and upcoming plot points!

Paha Isle Where the Fatui Assemble

In the northern isles of Nod-Krai, the Fatui have establisedh the Kuuvahki Experimental Design Bureau for mysterious reasons, likely connected to the Palestar Edict and retrieval of Columbina hinted in teaser videos.

Mysterious mechanical experiments seem to be created in this Fatui camp, and they had even gone as far as tampering with the Frostmoon Scions' New Moon Statue.

Hiisi Isle and Remnants of the Moonlit World

Hiisi Isle is home of the Frostmoon Scions, where generations of Moonchanters have worshipped the goddess of the New Moon and avoiding conflict with outsiders at all costs. However, with the Fatui's advances, the Frostmoon Scions may soon need to act against them.

Nasha Town the Elysium of Revelry for Explorers

Nod-Krai's most prosperous trading port, Nasha Town, is the main hub for explorers, adventurers, and visitors to Nod-Krai. This town is also home to the Clink-Clank Krumkake Craftshop.

Ruled by the Voynich Guild

According to Liben, Nod-Krai operated by its own unique rules, with the Voynich Guild being the city's version of authority. The guild had helped Liben after he was robbed on the way to the city.

Marvelous Merchandise Guide

Location of Il Dottore's Stronghold

Genshin - Dottore
In the Chapter 5 Act 5 Archon quest, Mavuika mentioned Nod-Krai in an optional dialogue. When you ask her about the next stop on your journey..., she will talk about getting reports on a Fatui squad linked to The Doctor, who has a stronghold in Nod-Krai.

In recent Nod-Krai previews, it was revealed that the Fatui have set up their main camp in Paha Isle, where the Kuuvahki Experimental Design Bureau has been established.

Il Dottore Character Guide

Home to A Mysterious Power

Genshin - Mysterious Power in Nod-Krai
Mavuika also talked about people in Nod-Krai who can harness a mysterious power that predates the seven elements. This may be related to the power that Childe's mentor, Skirk, was shown to be using in the Chapter 4 Act 5 Archon Quest.

Skirk Character Guide

Home to the Frostmoon Scions

Genshin - Nod-Krai as mentioned by Helka
In the event, On the Trail of Behemoths, the NPC named Helka talks about relics found on an island where the Frostmoon Scions gather. He described these people as 'weird', for they live in the wilds and forests.

Helka also says that the Frostmoon Scions worship a moon deity, and that he had seen them do magic.

i cant bother with animations and characters all are recycled even the clothes are recycled. hoyo dont even try to hide it anymore. nod krai is basically inazuma with some changes to make it look fresh and less depressive. old characters are useless and teams are limited to new characters which for old players saving for new characters and just to be powercreep two updates later is lame. genshin will have the same destiny all chinese games have which is slowly die
