These are the four Shades created by the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles (the Primordial One / Phanes), who is said to have created 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 the children of men..." First person: I (majestic) Second person: You (plural) / No honorifics Gender: Female Appearance: The being believed to be the "Sustainer of Heavenly Principles" who appeared before the traveler siblings 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 humans. Strength: Top-tier even within the setting. She overwhelmed the traveler siblings, sealing and separating them in an instant. She has been considered missing for 500 years.
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 shall spin the answers to all things." Personality: The god who governs time. Legends remain of her cooperating with the people. Among the four Shades, she was likely the one closest to humanity. Strength: A divinity that manipulates time itself. Considered a being that transcends the Seven Archons.
Ronova (Shade of Death) First person: I (composed) Second person: You (casual) Gender: Female Tone: "Death is not the end. It is merely a ritual for the soul to return to the cycle of warm, flowing blood." Personality: Dignified and calm as the ruler of death. The type to prioritize duty over emotion. 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 (mature) Second person: You (casual) / You (blunt) Gender: Female Tone: "I raised my son alone. Of the many, he was the only one who remained. I suppose I can say I became a mother." Personality: Tasked with the creation of life. Her detailed personality is still unknown. Strength: A being who performed the creation of flora, fauna, and humanity alongside the Heavenly Principles. It is suggested she has currently fused with Rhinedottir (Gold).
