Properties
Teyvat's primeval creator and Dragon Lord left Teyvat and journeyed into the dark universe to explore other worlds, leaving his rule to the Moon Goddesses. During his absence, the First Descender conquered Teyvat. When Nibelung obtained forbidden knowledge beyond the borders and returned to Teyvat, tainted by the Abyss, a second war between the dragons and the Heavenly Principles began.When Nibuleng returned with forbidden knowledge, an unimaginable war took place in Teyvat, causing destruction on an unprecedented scale. In war, the victor would inherit the right to shape the world, while the losers must turn into ash.ConsequencesDuring the War of Funerary Flame, the Moon Goddesses were unable to choose whom to support, so Nibelung decided they had betrayed him and imprisoned the sisters, turning the Moons themselves into weapons. The Heavenly Principles shattered two of the Moons and sent the third beyond the sky. From that moment on, the Goddesses ceased to belong to Teyvat and ultimately perished due to rejection.The Dragon Lord was killed. His ally, the Dendro Dragon did not give up on her attempts to change the course of history. She tried to gather new forbidden knowledge on the borders of a world that was hanging by a thread from destruction, but she was stopped by Celestia's divine nail.Heavenly Principles won, although it came at a great cost. They remained in Teyvat, where they continue to rule to this day.
