Who is Archon Genshin Impact?
The Seven Archons, commonly known as The Seven or Archons is a title for the seven gods who preside over the seven regions of Teyvat.
Each Archon is associated with element and the ideal that is owned, where it will affect the shape of the territory and the method of government of each country.
Archons in Genshin Impact are chosen based on the winner of a war, the Archon War.
2000 years ago there was a big war between the Gods or called the Archon War,
The war aims to win or protect the territory owned.
This chosen Archon is then given an object called Gnosis, which corresponds to and resonates directly with Celestia.
This gnosis is shaped like a chess piece, whose true function has not been discussed throughout the story games.
All these Archons have one thing in common, namely their compassion for humans and their sense of responsibility to protect humans.
