Genshin Impact Natlan Archon Quest ACT I “Flowers Resplendent on the Sun-Scorched Sojourn”: In-Depth Review and Discussion
As we near the end of the main story, unraveling the mysteries of Teyvat, searching for our missing sibling, and uncovering the fate of all the characters, we now arrive at our next destination: Natlan. Throughout the game, World Quests, dialogues, and various other content have provided us with glimpses of what the Nation of Pyro is like and the happenings in the Nation of War.
From the lore we’ve gathered so far, we know that Natlan’s original Pyro Archon has perished, and a new Archon now presides over the nation. Additionally, Natlan remains a highly secretive place, with no NPCs from other nations appearing there. The nation is made up of tribes that live in harmony with other creatures. Neuvillette has also mentioned that Natlan is a nation of dragons, though not the same kind of dragon as himself (a sovereign dragon).
Main Plot Setup and Natlan Lore
We begin the Archon Quest by preparing to leave for Natlan, bidding farewell to our Fontaine friends with smiles and pleasantries. We briefly backtrack to Sumeru, particularly the desert, where Natlan’s entrance is located. Upon entering Natlan, we are greeted by a vibrant, colorful region teeming with life and lush vegetation.
As we reach the nearest settlement, we encounter our first key character in the Natlan storyline: Kachina. Immersed in Natlan’s customs and lore, we learn about the annual tournament, where heroes from tribes across the nation gather to fight in honor, aiming to defeat the Abyss.
This is a significant development, as the Abyss has not been heavily featured in the main Archon Quest thus far. Learning that the Abyss is an active threat to Natlan, and that the Archon has been striving to drive them away, adds intrigue and heightens the player’s interest in what lies ahead.
Final Thoughts
Overall, ACT I introduces Natlan in a light-hearted manner, filled with themes of friendship and camaraderie. The story gently guides us through Natlan’s culture and customs, culminating in the surprising revelation that the Archon is a human who ascended to godhood. While the start is fairly modest, it sets the stage for what promises to be an exciting narrative in future acts.
