HoYoverse is preparing to introduce Genshin Impact’s next major region—Nod-Krai, an untamed land where Celestia’s rule doesn’t reach, and a mysterious power older than Visions may be hidden.
According to Minsleif, Nod-Krai is unlike anything we’ve seen before—a place filled with outlaws, ancient cults, and secrets that could change the very foundation of Teyvat’s lore.
With Fatui Harbinger Il Dottore already running experiments in the region, and the Frostmoon Scions worshipping an unknown lunar deity, we might finally be close to uncovering the “truth of this world.”
Here’s everything we know about Nod-Krai and why it could be the most important region in Genshin Impact’s story.
🏔️ What is Nod-Krai?
✔ Located in the southernmost part of Snezhnaya.
✔ Described as a lawless frontier where fortune seekers and criminals gather.
✔ No formal government—only the Voynich Guild, a mysterious group controlling trade and security.
✔ Home to the Frostmoon Scions, an enigmatic group that worships an unknown Moon Deity.
🎭 Why This Matters:
- Unlike Mondstadt or Liyue, Nod-Krai has no organized rule or Archon influence.
- It’s one of the last places untouched by Celestia, meaning secrets about Teyvat’s past could be hidden there.
- Dottore and the Fatui are already deeply involved—and wherever they go, trouble follows.
🌙 The Frostmoon Scions – A Lost Lunar Cult?
The Frostmoon Scions are a group of people living deep within Nod-Krai’s wilds. According to leaks, they worship an unknown Moon Deity and possess strange magical abilities unrelated to The Seven elements.
✔ First mentioned in Version 5.3 during “On the Trail of Behemoths.”
✔ Said to use a power that predates Visions.
✔ Their magic has been described as “unlike anything seen before” in Teyvat.
🎭 Could They Be Related to Khaenri’ah?
- The Crimson Moon Dynasty of Khaenri’ah also worshipped a Moon Deity, begging for Descenders to rewrite fate.
- Arlecchino’s “Balemoon Bloodfire” was considered a dangerous, forbidden power.
- If Nod-Krai’s Frostmoon energy is similar, it could reveal a deeper connection between Khaenri’ah and Snezhnaya.
💡 Key Takeaway: The Frostmoon Scions might be using powers older than the Seven Archons, which could reshape our understanding of Visions and the gods of Teyvat.
🔥 The Fatui’s Secret Experiments in Nod-Krai
Unsurprisingly, Dottore and the Fatui have already established a stronghold in Nod-Krai.
✔ Mavka warns that conflict with the Fatui is unavoidable in Snezhnaya.
✔ Dottore’s subordinates have been seen swarming the region.
✔ Fatui construction projects suggest a large-scale operation.
🎯 What Is Dottore Looking For?
- He could be studying the Frostmoon Scions’ ancient magic to create new weapons or enhance the Fatui’s power.
- He may be trying to connect Nod-Krai’s power with the Ancient Moon Remnants floating above Natlan.
- His endgame could involve resurrecting an ancient power that was meant to stay buried.
💡 If Dottore is involved, things are about to get very, very bad.
🕵️♂️ The Mystery of the Moon Deities – What Are They Hiding?
Genshin Impact’s lore has hinted at multiple Moon-related mysteries for years:
✔ The Crimson Moon – Worshipped by Khaenri’ah’s lost dynasty.
✔ The Abyssal Moon – A dark force influencing the Abyss Order’s movements.
✔ The Shattered Moon of Natlan – Said to hold unknown ancient powers.
✔ The Frostmoon of Nod-Krai – The new mysterious deity the Scions follow.
🎭 What This Could Mean:
- The worship of lunar entities in Teyvat is far older than the Seven Archons.
- If Nod-Krai’s Frostmoon is real, it could be one of the last remaining traces of an ancient civilization.
- Could these Moon Deities be connected to the Three Moon Sisters? If so, Celestia’s control over Teyvat may not be as absolute as we thought.
🔮 What Could This Mean for Future Genshin Updates?
1️⃣ Nod-Krai Might Be Our First Stop in Snezhnaya (6.0)
✔ It could serve as a midway point before we reach the Tsaritsa’s domain.
✔ The Fatui’s presence suggests major conflict before we even enter the capital.
✔ If Dottore’s experiments succeed, we could see a power shift in Teyvat’s politics.
2️⃣ The Tsaritsa’s True Goal May Be Revealed
✔ If she abandoned Nod-Krai to the Fatui, her true motivations could be darker than we imagined.
✔ If the Frostmoon power threatens Celestia, she may be trying to control it before it gets out of hand.
3️⃣ The Traveler’s Connection to the Moon Could Be Revealed
✔ Both Traveler and Paimon have been described as “star-touched” beings.
✔ If Nod-Krai’s power is linked to Descenders, it could explain why Celestia sees the Traveler as a threat.
📌 Final Thoughts – Is Nod-Krai the Key to Teyvat’s Biggest Secrets?
Nod-Krai could be one of the most important regions in Genshin Impact’s history, revealing:
✔ A new form of magic predating Visions.
✔ A potential link between Khaenri’ah, the Fatui, and Moon Deities.
✔ The true reason Celestia has kept Snezhnaya isolated for so long.
If this newfound power falls into the wrong hands (aka Dottore’s), it could trigger the biggest war in Teyvat’s history.
