Nod-Krai is the remnant of a fourth moon that failed to materialize. It is especially hostile due to the harsh environment and lack of protective and regulative forces aside from the Voynich Guild.
Nod-Krai includes locations such as Nasha Town where the "Speranza" restaurant operates, the Clink-Clank Krumkake Craftshop that produces many different inventions, as well as Hiisi Island that is home to the Frostmoon Scions. According to Helka, the Frostmoon Scions are a strange group that lives in the wilds and forests surrounding Nod-Krai, and people do not generally look into or approach them. They also made several Statues of the New Moon dedicated to Columbina and spread them all across Nod-Krai.
Some of the inhabitants of Nod-Krai are able to use kuuvahki, a special power that originates from the Three Moons and predates the seven elements of Teyvat. A Fatui stronghold operates in Nod-Krai, led by Il Dottore. Before, the area was considered "dangerous yet lively," but in recent times, it has been more dangerous than usual. At some point, large-scale development had been planned for the area, but no traces of it exist to the current day, unless one counts the many scraps lying around. At some point after Helka left to explore monsters from the other nations, the Fatui had returned and moved plenty of construction supplies in as part of their "Palestar Edict," with rumors swirling that one or several Fatui Harbingers were present too. There were also "bad" situations to the north regarding Abyss influence.
Ever since the cataclysm, Nod-Krai has been plagued by attacks from a group of Abyssal entities known as The Wild Hunt. The Wild Hunt is controlled by Rerir, one of the Five Sinners of Khaenri'ah, and he has been using the Wild Hunt to regain his power and reassemble his body after it was torn apart. In response to the Wild Hunt's threat, the Lightkeepers were established to fight it off, and have been doing so for centuries. Follow Rerir's banishment through the Moon Gate, the Wild Hunt has fell into control by infamous figures of legend like Rotwang and Roland.
After learning new information during their expedition, the Knights of Favonius headed to Nod-Krai with Varka. There, Varka noticed that the situation in Nod-Krai was incredibly tense, warning the Traveler through a letter that they had best be prepared before arriving.
