And the Five Gods?
O no do we have even more history and another set of gods to think about like the Seven Sovereigns?
No just like the sovereigns are in my theory just another name for the Archons (with a little additional context) these seemingly five new regions and their own Five Gods aren't what you think they are.
It's actually maybe the inclusion of another branch of Taoism into Genshin - Bagua. It could just be a shoutout to the practice or MiHoYo could actually incorporate it into the lore but what the "five regions" are are the cardinal directions. China and specifically Bagua just adds one more that ours doesn't. So you have North, South, East and West right? But what if you don't move? So in Bagua that is Center.
And in times that Ancient China would have called ancient you had gods to represent each of these directions. On top of that they also each represent an element but again this would be the real world Chinese elements of Earth, Fire, Water, Wood and Metal so Electro, Cryo and Anemo would get the shaft here lol
Anyway the recent quest actually referenced plenty of stuff in Bagua so I'll get more into this soon!
