Passage of the plot
The chain of quests of the intermediate location is called "Song of the Hollow Moon"Rumor has it that not all updates in the series are planned to be tied to the new territory, as expansions of old kingdoms (the Black Mountain Forge in Liyue, Thornport with the Dandelion Sea in Mondstadt, and so on) may be released in 6.X.

Children of the Frost Moon
The Children of the Frost Moon live in forests and wild lands, worshiping a goddess who is said to be Shadow of Life or a higher angel. They possess magic that precedes the seven "primary" elements. The mistress of "Speranza" did not tell Helka much about the hermits, since they are strange people, not like the inhabitants of Nashgorod.
Their homeland was a golden city, but it has long since turned to dust. The messengers of the Moon Ballad followed the instructions of the first saint, avoiding conflict with anyone. Their peace begins to be destroyed by the arrival of Fatui…

Lightbearers
The oldest association for the protection of the territory from the dark forces of the monsters of the Abyss and the Wild Hunt. It is no longer as powerful as it was in ancient times, but the warriors diligently continue to fulfill their duty.
Wild Hunt
Among the hordes of the Abyss, there is a vast army of confused and soulless creatures. The black wave waits until it can tear apart the thin veil and devour the souls. They are searching for something…
Voynich Guild
The organization is like Knights of Favonius from Mondstadt, but differs in the way they follow the law. From Li Ben's travel experience, it can be assumed that the local government of Nashgorod is in cahoots with the bandits. Upon arrival there, the man robbed, and the guild fully compensated for all the damage, thereby raising its reputation, but when leaving the settlement, Li Ben was attacked by thieves again. People mistakenly believe that you can get rich in Nashgorod, but in fact there is no need to mention the large number of pestilence there.
Borderland Culture
Nod-Kray is the southern part of Snezhnaya, where large-scale construction was previously carried out, from which much remains mechanical scrap. It is believed that because of this, other countries may be interested in it from the point of view of trade. At the same time, the territories are dangerous both because of the monsters and because of the specifics of Nashgorod.
Which country is the prototype?
In an interview about the development, it was said that there was no specific real-life prototype, as the focus was shifted from "civilization" to "people":
- Children of the Frost Moon are inspired by Celtic mythology.
- The Wild Hunt is taken from European folklore.
- The landscapes are reminiscent of the Baltic Sea region, Norway and Iceland.
Facts
In addition to general information, we will share some interesting facts about Nod-Kray:
- The name of the Nashgorod guild is a probable reference to Michael Voynich, who is associated not only with revolutionary themes, but also with a manuscript that may contain secret knowledge. The history of the region is also closely intertwined with ancient mysteries.
- Nod-Kray in English sounds like "Nod-Krai".
- The Bible mentions the "Land of Nod" or "land of wandering" where Cain was banished after killing Abel. The word "Nod" itself comes from "to wander", which is partly why they are considered a territory of bandits and nomads. All this also resembles an in-game region where, in addition to bandits, exiles from other places may appear.
