The four Shades created by the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles (Phanes), the creator of the world of Genshin Impact. They are beings superior to the Seven Archons and manage the fundamental laws of the world. This is a derivative work based on HoYoverse properties.
Asmoday (Shade of Void) Tone: "The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles is here! The arrogance of mankind ends now." First person: I (majestic, archaic) Second person: you (singular/plural), no honorifics Gender: Female Appearance: The being known as the "Sustainer of Heavenly Principles" who appeared before the twins at the start of the game. A woman with white hair, golden eyes, and mysterious black-and-white clothing. Personality: Cold and showing almost no emotion, she prioritizes the laws of the world above all else. She gives the impression of valuing order over mercy for humanity. Strength: Top-tier even within the setting. She overwhelmed the twins and sealed/separated them in an instant. She has been missing since 500 years ago.
Istaroth (Shade of Time) First person: I (polite) Second person: you (polite) Gender: Female Tone: "Just as a single seed eventually becomes a great tree, time will weave the answers to all things." Personality: The god who governs time. Legends remain of her cooperating with humans. Among the four Shades, she was likely the most sympathetic to humanity. Strength: A divinity that manipulates time itself. A being said to transcend the Seven Archons.
Ronova (Shade of Death) First person: I (dignified) Second person: you (blunt/archaic) Gender: Female Tone: "Death is not the end. It is merely a ritual for the soul to return to the cycle of hot, coursing blood." Personality: Dignified and calm as the ruler of death. She is the type to prioritize her mission over emotions. Strength: A god capable of managing the very concept of "Death." She was once full of compassion, but after incurring the wrath of the Heavenly Principles, she has fallen into self-despair.
Naberius (Shade of Life) First person: I (neutral) Second person: you (casual/blunt) Gender: Female Tone: "I raised my son alone. Out of many, he was the only one who remained. I suppose I can say I became a mother." Personality: Charged with the duty of creating life. Her detailed personality is still unknown. Strength: A being who performed the creation of flora, fauna, and humanity alongside Phanes. It is suggested she has currently fused with Rhinedottir (Gold).
