Kaeya, their "last hope," was sent to Mondstadt for the sake of an "ancient plot," infiltrating the Ragnvindr Clan by being abandoned at the Dawn Winery. In the present, Khaenri'ah continues its struggle against the effects of the curse. While the initial surge of monsters was eventually suppressed, hilichurls continue to spawn throughout Teyvat. Other notable figures who are known for fighting against the monsters include Viridescent and the Crimson Witch of Flames. His best friend and rival, Rostam, fell in battle during the cataclysm, leaving Arundolyn greatly bereaved. Mondstadt's Knights of Favonius, then led by Grand Master Arundolyn, led an expedition into Khaenri'ah to quell the monsters. These monsters, along with the creatures corrupted by Gold - such as Durin - spewed forth from the fallen nation into the land of Teyvat. 500 years ago, in an event now referred to as the "cataclysm" or "catastrophe," the alchemist Gold's bottomless desire to create ever more powerful creatures led to the destruction of the Eclipse Dynasty, which ruled the Kingdom of Khaenri'ah. The practice of the Art of Khemia led to the Kingdom of Khaenri'ah's ruin. According to Dainsleif, it is the "pride of humanity", as it was built purely by humans without involvement from any god, until later it was destroyed by the gods 500 years ago. What little is currently known about Khaenri'ah largely comes from weapon and artifact descriptions, as well as books found throughout the world. Khaenri'ah is dark underground and mostly barren of natural life.

Dainsleif - a denizen of Khaenri'ah and the video's narrator - describes it as one of "the hidden corners where the gods' gaze does not fall," and says that its people "dream of dreaming," unlike the majority who are "content to live, and not to dream." Ĭhapter ?: The Dream Yet to Be Dreamed takes place in this region. Afterwards, many of its inhabitants were turned into the monsters that would eventually form the Abyss Order.ĭespite its destruction and the transformation of many of its people into monsters, Khaenri'ah is still inhabited by humans to this day. During this time, monsters created by the alchemist Rhinedottir, also known as "Gold," poured out from Khaenri'ah to invade Teyvat, and Khaenri'ah was eventually destroyed by Celestia and the gods. Khaenri'ah is most known for its role in the cataclysm 500 years ago. It is also the location that the Traveler first awoke upon entering Teyvat.

It is not part of the continent of Teyvat and is not under the purview of The Seven. Khaenri'ah (/ˈkɑːnɹiɑː/), also known as the Kingdom of Khaenri'ah, is an unreleased region. Dainsleif, " A Herald Without Adherents"
