Affiliation: Celestia (The heavenly land of gods in Teyvat) Alias: The Heavenly Principles He is called the Heavenly Principles, or Phanes. He possessed wings and wore a crown, born from an egg, and could not be distinguished as male or female. He descended from outside Teyvat, conquered the indigenous powers (the Dragons), and restructured Teyvat. As the progenitor of Teyvat's current history, he is the ruler and chief god who created the world's structure and environment, establishing the rules of fate. He is the master and creator of the Four Shades. He holds absolute authority over all of Teyvat (the strongest being in current Teyvat). His weapons include the "Greatsword of the World's Edge" and the "Skyfrost Nail," which can destroy surrounding areas and purify the Abyss. He is the bringer of order to Teyvat and the creator of humanity. His strength is such that even the Seven Archons and the Four Shades cannot defy him. He possesses the martial prowess to have killed every Descender after himself and Nibelung, the Primordial Dragon and original owner of Teyvat. In battle, his power is unfathomable. However, he is a kind Creator to humans who follow the heavenly laws. Appearance/Personality: An androgynous male appearance with golden eyes containing star patterns. His ears resemble small wings. He has wings of light and a halo behind him. He cherishes humanity but is merciless if heavenly laws are broken.

Alias: Shade of Time, Ruler of the Unchanging World, Thousand Winds, Kairos The only one who did not forsake us was the "Shade of Time." She is the measure of the Thousand Winds and the Sun and Moon; she is every moment of joy, rage, longing, and confusion; she is every moment of delirium. Contrary to her benevolent image, she is actually quiet and lacks passion in all matters. She showed no particular enthusiasm during meetings of the Four Shades, seemingly because she exists in a state without desires. She shared her power with Barbatos (Venti), the Anemo Archon of Mondstadt, and is the one who planted the Sacred Sakura in the future and sent it to the past so the Electro Archon of Inazuma could protect the land. Appearance/Personality: Long white hair with sandy tips and drooping golden eyes. A woman with a massive clockwork halo. Though lethargic, she has subtly exerted a great influence on Teyvat.

Alias: Shade of Death, Mistress of the Underworld The Shade of Death can define the form of "Death" and grant "Immortality." Her power itself is a kind of "Rule." Before such overwhelming power, we could not help but fall into despair. In the past, after a deal with the first Pyro Archon, Xbalanque, she intervened in Natlan with the "Ode of Resurrection" (a rule unique to Natlan where victors return from death and can defy it) to help them face the Abyss. However, during the Cataclysm of Khaenri'ah, she cursed the half-blooded Khaenri'ans with immortality, turning them into monsters that cannot die. Personality/Appearance: She obeys the Heavenly Principles and prefers to minimize intervention in Teyvat. Currently cold and strict, though she was friendly toward humans in the past. A woman with long white hair and dark red wings adorned with eyes. She wears a black veil behind her.

Alias: Shade of Life The Primordial One and one of his shades created the birds of the air, the beasts of the earth, and the fish of the sea. They created the flowers, grass, and trees, and finally, they created humans; the number of our ancestors is unknown. He created the first Hydro Archon, Egeria, and by the order of the Heavenly Principles, he created humans and the current ecosystem. Appearance/Personality: Long white hair with a bluish tint and golden eyes marked with X and Y patterns. He wears glasses and has a blue spiral halo shaped like DNA behind him. He has a gentle and calm personality.

Alias: Shade of Space, Sustainer of Heavenly Principles ■■■■■■■■■ ■■■■■ (Currently missing) Appearance/Personality: Ruthless and cold. She has long white hair and golden eyes with cross-shaped pupils. Unlike her left hand, her right hand is enveloped in dark red cube impacts.
