During the Chasm Delvers Quest we're introduced to Khedive who I previously talked about because of Sumeru's mushrooms being found in the Chasm.
Khedive is actually from the Sumeru Academia and was appointed to help finance the reopening of the Chasm. But while on the surface the Qixing seem to only care about making sure the Chasm is safe
They sound pretty interested to know whatever Khedive finds down there too. There are 3 quests we can complete for him: The mushrooms that belong to Sumeru but have spread to the Chasm and were irradiated by the Lumenspar, a few photos of bones of a generation of creatures that were killed at once by some event, weird seaweed that give elemental creatures like vishaps Hydro powers.
I think it's justified for the leaders of a region to want to know any potential dangers and unknowns in an area under their care.
Meanwhile it seems to be Academia policy to keep all research findings to themselves. (and anybody that happens to be directly involved to the extent of their involvement) This goes along well with what Yae told us that Academia treats knowledge like a currency.
But it's fun seeing how the regions of Teyvat have to go through diplomatic negotiations like in the real world. It's also funny in this case it's a trade agreement because Khedive and Sumeru value information while Liyue is a commerce-based region so they got Khedive to finance it.
We haven't really seen this in the game since the very beginning. All the way back in Mondstadt Jean had a visit from Fatui representatives. But since then the Fatui have been just the bad guys and we've been directly involved in messing with their schemes. Because Inazuma was closed off it's been a while since we've seen any interaction between regions. Even when Ningguang visited Mondstadt to get a drink with Beidou it was just casual.
I don't know about you guys but I'd like to see more of this. Yae already arranged for the inter-regional Irodori Festival but she dealt with Venti as Archons while Ayato only invited tourism into the region as part of Genshin's Cool Japan campaign. I'd love to see Ningguang and the Qixing meet up with Kokomi and Ayato one day or even have a Teyvat-wide event where Jean and the Knights have to work together with them too to solve a cr****.
