Teyvat is not an open sandbox. It runs on strict internal logic: each region has its own theology, its own conflict with Celestia, and a distinct relationship with its Archon. Before you write a single scene, you need to understand which rules the setting enforces — and where it deliberately leaves room for fanon.
Genshin Impact fanfiction is one of the most active genres in Slavic fandoms. The reason is straightforward: the canonical lore is scattered across quests, books in Mondstadt's library, Liyue journals, and Sumeru Academy archives. A player who finished only the main storyline has seen roughly one-tenth of what Hoyoverse built.
Many writers blur the regions together. Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, Sumeru, Fontaine, Natlan — these are not just different map tiles. Each has a separate social contract with its Archon.
A working matrix for writers:
Fontaine and Natlan have their own specifics, but for writers just starting out, the first three regions are safer ground — the Archon Quest lines are complete and the canon is more stable.
A Vision is not a "magic license." It is a theological concept. What canon establishes clearly:
If your OC needs a Vision — settle question one first. It drives the character's entire motivation.
Genshin deliberately leaves several zones unwritten — and that is useful for writers:

Four checkpoints before writing:
To try writing a scene immediately, Fanficia's generator lets you specify fandom, region, and tone in one sentence, and the AI builds a chapter from those parameters.

A few concrete points that will save you an hour of revision:
Mondstadt or Liyue — both have fully closed Archon Quest lines and the largest amount of documented everyday lore. Inazuma works well if isolation and political reform interest you. Sumeru and beyond are better tackled once you have experience writing lore-heavy scenes.
You can, but the gaps will show and fandom readers will notice. The minimum: read the Archon Quests through version 2.x on the wiki and watch lore breakdowns for your chosen region. Without that baseline, separating canon from fanon is guesswork.

Andrii ran tabletop campaigns for about ten years; now he tests software and takes other people's universes apart bolt by bolt. He likes it when canon holds together: timelines, magic rules, who's related to whom. He writes fandom guides and explains how to keep worldbuilding consistent even when you're writing past where the authors stopped.
