Genshin Impact: Starting with the Archon War

"Previously, we told how Liyue was once located not in today's Liyue Harbor, but in the desolate Guili Plains."

"Long ago, there was a demon named Chi, who ruled Tianwang Mountain. Seeking fertile land, he launched a war and invaded the surrounding lands of the immortals and gods."

"Chi was mighty. He fought five great battles in succession and won every one, until at the Dawn Basin he fought a decisive battle against the tribe of the War Lord, Huangguang."

"The war lasted several years. In the end, the War Lord was outmatched by a single move and suffered a bitter defeat at Chi's hands. Unwilling to submit to the great demon, the War Lord moved north after the battle and came to the Guili Plains."

"At that time, the Guili Plains were ruled jointly by the venerable Rex Lapis and the God of Dust. The War Lord's arrival united the two great tribes, ushering in an era of rule by three gods."

"Stone crumbles into dust, and dust gathers into rock, so the tribe of the Emperor chose the character 'Rock' for its name."

"The War Lord was known as Light. Light shines bright, so the character 'Bright' was added after 'War Lord.'"

"And the Rockbright Tribe was the original Liyue."
