The Intriguing Narrative of Natlan
The narrative tapestry of Natlan in the Travail teaser introduced Iansan, a young girl believed to possess a Pyro vision and speculated to be the younger sibling of the beloved character, Bennett. The mention of places like the Mare Jivari has ignited the imaginations of players, offering a glimpse into the enigmatic Pyro Nation of Teyvat. Furthermore, the name 'Iansan' is a nod to the Yoruba warrior goddess, embodying the themes of fire, storms, death, and rebirth that resonate with the chapter's title: Incandescent Ode to Resurrection.
Inspiration from Latin America and Cultural Representation
Delving deeper into the origins of Natlan, it becomes evident that the region draws inspiration from pre-colonial Latin America. This revelation, supported by the leitmotif in the Travail teaser and recent findings, sheds light on the meticulous research undertaken by Genshin Impact's developers. The inclusion of environmental history and farming techniques from Shawn William Miller's book further emphasizes the commitment to portraying Natlan authentically and dispelling misconceptions. Additionally, the incorporation of elements from Mesoamerican cultures, such as the Aztecs, through the Talking Stick weapon, reinforces the cultural richness that players can expect to encounter in Natlan.
