Trivia[]

Screenshot fromTeyvat Chapter Storyline Preview: Travail
- In the trailerTeyvat Chapter Storyline Preview: Travail, under the title of the questOmnipresence Over Mortals, there is a line written in Teyvat'sLatin script. It reads "Perpetua perennis impervia" which translates to "Perpetual, perennial, impervious."
- A competition called "This Novel Is Amazing!" is held periodically in Inazuma, by theYae Publishing House, a giant of the Inazuma publishing industry.[3]
- According toXu, a novel called "A Legend of Sword" is "all the rage in Inazuma right now" It was written by an author inLiyue, although the exact person is unknown to the residents of Inazuma. The author is revealed to beXingqiu.
- According toBarbara, there are blue trees that exist by the sea shore near Inazuma City.[4]
- Kaedehara Kazuha is the first playable character from Inazuma in the global release.
- Kamisato Ayaka was available in a closed beta test version of the game, but wasn't released as part of the global release of the game until Version 2.0.
- The storm barrier that was created as part of theSakoku Decree is encountered as the climateA Nation Closed by Thunder when attempting to enter or leave Inazuma via ice bridging orWaverider. When players are too far in the storm barrier, they are teleported toLiyue Harbor if they tried to enter Inazuma orRitou if they tried to exit Inazuma. This means that the only way to get to Inazuma for the first time is through theArchon QuestSetting Sail inChapter II: Act I -The Immovable God and the Eternal Euthymia, during which theTeleport Waypoint at the docks of Ritou will be automatically unlocked, and the only way to enter and leave Inazuma afterwards is through activated Teleport Waypoints (includingPortable Waypoints),Statues of The Seven, andDomains.
- After completing theRaiden Shogun'sStory Quest,Imperatrix Umbrosa Chapter: Act II -Transient Dreams, it is possible to enter Inazuma via the aforementioned methods without being teleported back due to the abolishment of the Sakoku Decree.
Etymology[]
- The name of the region "Inazuma" (Japanese:稲妻Inadzuma) means "lightning" in Japanese.
- The modern Japanese wordinazuma (Japanese:稲妻inadzuma) originates from an Old Japanese word spelled with the same kanji (Old Japanese:稲妻inaNduma), literally meaning "rice's spouse" (nowadaystsuma (>zuma) means "wife," but it was gender-neutral in ancient times). In ancient Japan, there was a lot of thunder during the rice fruition period, so there was a belief that lightning would produce rice, and thus Japanese found "rice's spouse" as a nickname of thunder.
- The Japanese word has two coexisting spellings in Modern Japanese:いなづまinadzuma (usingつtsu withdakuten) andいなずまinazuma (usingすsu withdakuten). Sinceづdzu andずzu are pronounced identically in Modern Japanese,[Note 1] many speakers today spell it withずzu despite the proper spelling being withづdzu.[Note 2] The game officially uses theずzu spelling (いなずま), meaning it should be romanized as "Inazuma" and not "Inadzuma."
Cultural References[]
- Inazuma is inspired by Japan.
- Much like real-life Japan, Inazuma is currently only reachable by the sea around the islands.
- The Sakoku Decree of Inazuma and collection of Visions parallels the real-lifesakoku policy under the Japanese Tokugawa shogunate.
- The Inazuma Shogunate, the ruling body of the country, is a direct reference to the same government used under the Japanese shogunate.
- The Inazuman Emblem consists of traditional Japanese elements.
- At the center of the emblem lies atorii, the sacred gate of a Shinto shrine.
- Inside thetorii gate, there is anElectro symbol, based on amitsudomoe.Raijin, God of Thunder, often carries drums withmitsudomoe symbols.
- The rounded rectangles seen at the both sides of the torii are calledsuyari-gasumi and represent clouds, fog, or haze in traditional Japanese paintings and woodblock prints.
- Under thetorii gate, three comma-shaped jewels are illustrated. Among thesemagatama beads, the most important one isYasakani no Magatama, one of the threeImperial Regalia of Japan and the symbol of benevolence.
- Asakura (cherry) blossom crowns the torii gate. In Japanese culture, it usually represents the aesthetics ofmono no aware (Japanese:もののあはれ "the pathos of things"), or the awareness of impermanence, ephemeral beauty, and the gentle sadness of things. But considering the in-game Inazuman ideal "eternity",[5] in this case thesakura blossom may symbolize the "endless cycle of death and rebirth".[6]
- The design and theme of theWatatsumi Island is the amalgamation of theRyukyuan religion (indigenous belief system of southwestern islands in Japan) endorsed by theRyukyu Kingdom (1429–1879; its capital was inOkinawa) and the sea-godWatatsumi mythology in mainland Japan, as the divine sea realmNirai Kanai in Ryukyu and the sea dragon palaceRyuuguu-jou in the mainland are often identified with each other.
- Names used in theTsurumi Island are based on theAinu language, spoken by theAinu people, an indigenous people in now the northern part of Japan (such asHokkaido Island) and now the southeasternmost part of Russia (such asSakhalin Island).
Notes[]
- ↑Some dialects preserve the difference between thetwo sounds.
- ↑As per proper連濁 (rendaku) rules in現代仮名遣いGendai Kanadzukai, "Modern kana orthography"; the first syllable of妻tsuma isつtsu, therefore it should exhibit sequential voicing and becomeづdzu.
