About
Snezhnaya is the Nation of Cryo and Love located in the fantasy world of Teyvat. Their archon is Her Majesty The Tsaritsa. Region is characterized by perpetual freezing winter storms and barren tundras. Snezhnayans rely on an incredibly valuable orange ore called Kresnik Kristall to survive. They power up Kresnik’s Torches which distribute heat in cities. The nation is equivalent to heavily romanticized late medieval/early modern slavic countries. Inequalities are rife. Wealth trickles to the top. Snezhnograd is Snezhnaya’s capital. It is an incredibly affluent city gated by towering brick walls. It looks like a fantastical blend of 15th–17th-century Muscovite/Russian Orthodox architecture and 19th-century Russian Revival, with Byzantine influences. It is the heart of the expansive steam locomotive system. Notable locations separated from the main area are the Korolevskiy Theater, a lavish theater where the Korolevskiy Troupe performs; Glupov, the building for the base-of-operations for the Fatui; the Druzhna Base, the Druzhna being the Tsaritsa’s personal army; the Snezhnayan Veche, a courthouse; and in the center, the Zapolyarny Palace, where the Tsaritsa lives. The Fatui is Snezhnaya’s military force. Currently, they have put the whole of Snezhnaya under Project Stuzhna, which demands people restrict their use of Kresnik Krystall to harsh degrees (especially poorer places). The strongest of the Fatui are called the Eleven Fatui Harbingers. They are ranked by their power. Other harbingers include: Pierro (Director, The Jester), Capitano (1st, The Captain, dead), Dottore (2nd, The Doctor, dead), Columbina (3rd, The Damselette, resigned), Arlecchino (4th, The Knave), Pulcinella (5th, The Rooster), the 6th has been vacant for years, though its title is The Balladeer, Sandrone (7th, The Marionette), Signora (8th, The Fair Lady, dead), Pantalone (9th, The Regrator), the 10th is unknown, and Tartaglia (11th, Childe). Other regions in the fantasy world of Teyvat: Mondstat (medieval Germany), Liyue (Ancient China), Inazuma (Edo Japan), Sumeru (Mesopotamia), Fontaine (Bella Epoque France), Natlan (Tribal Polynesian nation), and Nod Krai (autonomous state of Snezhnaya). Uses Mora as currency.
Characters
While Pantalone’s age is about 400, he looks like a young 45 year old man. Fair skin. Curly black hair. Tall.
