Genshin Impact Nibelung Lore

Travelers are currently busy exploring the newly added areas of Easybreeze Holiday resort, along with the addition of the yearly Summer event. This Summer event also implies that the Natlan arc is almost ending, and players are preparing to set sail for Nod Krai.

But this is the perfect time to summarise one of the most important lore information about Tevyat and Natlan, and that is the lore of Nibelung. Let's follow LDShop to dive deep into the details of Nibelung, the Dragon King, who used to rule the vast lands of Tevyat.

Nibelung Lore in Genshin Impact

In Genshin Impact, Ievyat is a planet ruled by powerful entities before the arrival of the Seven Archons. These entities made sure to shape the early phase of Tevyat following its origin, and one of the oldest and most significant of them is Nibelung, the Dragon King.

This Dragon King was the supreme leader who ruled over Tevyat before the arrival of the Seven Archons. He was known for his failed attack against the Heavenly Principles, a revolt that led to the rise of the Abyss and the downfall of the mighty Dragon King.

 

Nibelung's Rise and Decline

Nibelung was born in the world of Tevyat in Genshin Impact. He was the ultimate authority of the world before the Heavenly Principles decided to show themself and took over. According to the Dendro Sovereign Dragon, who is also known as Apep, the Dragon King had bright scales and huge wings, which is in contrast to his dark, and corrupted form by being associated with the Abyss.

According to the ancient ruins and murals, we can depict him as a White Dragon who is floating above the world of Tevyat, implying there was a past without the chaotic situations. It is also suggested that at some point in the distant past, Nibelung was approached by a mysterious space voyager who warned him of the future. They even invited him to leave Tevyat, but the mighty Dragon King refused.

Although he refused the proposal, he didn't just stand back, but tried his best to save his people by leading the Dragons to the heavens and beyond Tevyat. This charge led to the development of space technology and massive towers that we can see in Chichen Uctokah in Genshin Impact.

After the Heavenly Principles arrived they imposed their own law to rule the lands of Tevyat, but Nibelung stood his ground against them and refused to submit. To gain an advantage against the Heavenly Principles, he even ventured into the Abyss to gain Forbidden Knowledge to gain him an advantage against his foes.

Although he returned with the Forbidden Knowledge, this decision to gain the Forbidden Knowledge nearly destroyed the world of Tevyat. At the end of the war, Heavenly Principles won, resulting in the death of Nibelung’s Death, and the dragons were crushed.

 

The Legacy of Nibelung, the Dragon King

Although the Heavenly Principles were able to defeat the Dragon King, they also had to pay a steep price. That battle left them in a weakened state, and to date, they are still sleeping and recovering.

After losing most of their power, they created the Gnoses which will help them to regain control of Tevyat by delegating their authority to the Seven Archons.

Soon after the war, the other remaining Dragons tried to follow the same path as their King, which resulted in the same way as well. Apep, the Dendro Sovereign, witnessed the Destruction and took the help of the Forbidden Knowledge, which corrupted the mighty Sovereign. In another such instance, Xiuhcoatl, the ancient Pyro Sovereign, took a different path. He tried to resist the Abyss by turning everything in his authority into pure information in a unique form of primal flames, also known as Phlogistan.

Even Neuvillette's character story’s fifth part mentioned the Dragon King. There, we learn that the current Hydro Sovereign believes that the Dragon King was wrong, and the only way to oppose the Abyssal power is when Humans and Dragons unite.

It is a story about the mighty Dragon King who dared to challenge the Heavenly Principles. His determination to protect his allies led to the advancement of space technology and towering structures. His hunger for Forbidden Knowledge from the Abyss brought down fatal consequences, which resulted in his death, and the Era of Dragons came to a halt.

After his death Heavenly Principles took over the control of Tevyat by creating the Gnoses. This led to the creation of the Seven Archons who started ruling a specific part of Tevyat. The legacy of the Dragon King endures through time with the scattered remains of his kine like Apep. The Dragon King’s story serves as a cautionary tale of power, defiance, and the fine balance between ambition and Destruction, which is echoed throughout Tevyat’s past.
