Genshin Impact Four Shades: The Hidden Thread of Teyvat’s Fate
In Genshin Impact’s grand narrative, the “Heavenly Principles Four Shades” serve as the central link connecting the creation myth, the evolution of civilizations, and the shifts in divine authority. These four shadows, separated from the Primordial One Phanes — Naberius, Ruler of Life; Ronova, Ruler of Death; Istaroth, Ruler of Time; and Asmoday, Ruler of Space — not only govern the four fundamental laws that sustain the world, but have also, throughout millennia, left “loopholes in the rules” that foreshadow humanity’s defiance against the gods.
