At that time, the Wanderer’s Troupe left behind a valuable relic of the Ordo Favonius, which later helped rebel against the aristocrats. Another person associated with the location is Clerk Endze.

History of the lands

According to ancient legends, the Ash Sea was home to a civilization that worshiped the phoenix. Common people bowed their heads before it, and kings honored the nobility of this unique creature.

Others before the events of the game, the sage wanted to conquer the fiery sea and created a tiara from red agate. The mentor and students did not recognize the efforts and regarded the act as blasphemy. Wanting to test the truth of the sage's discovery, they asked him to walk on the scorching fire. The man actually fulfilled the request and did not suffer from the harsh conditions, and then went on a wandering that lasted 100 years. Only the power of time subdued the sage. In the end, he bequeathed to people to follow the light of the flower that he wore on his chest. The followers found the treasured plant and came to the shore of the Ash Sea, but the man himself disappeared without a trace. Since then, the story has been passed down as a legacy Walking on lava.

A thousand years ago, when the area was not engulfed in the ashes of battle, the fiery territory was visited by the Wandering Ensemble. The travelers fought a monster named Bakunawa, and cut the runestone from his body.

Further history of the region remains undisclosed for another five hundred years, until it plunges into a destructive war with the Abyss. Tenoch and the Six Satellites from different tribes of Natlan rise to defend the territory. After Sanhaj called a part of the Kingdom of Night and the explosion, the area turned into a sea of ​​ash of defeated enemies and lost its former attractiveness. For some time, the lands were engulfed in an endless raging flame. When it died down, someone's cries of pain and suffering were heard.

Some time before the events of the game begin The former battlefield was visited by the famous Mondstadt wanderer Stanley and his companion, Hans Archibald. Their adventure ended in grief and loss: in an attempt to save his inexperienced companion, Stanley gave his life. Hans took the name of his rescuer and told stories of his adventures in memory of his faithful comrade.

The final moments of the Ash Sea's existence were the events 20-30 years before the appearance Traveler in Teyvat.
