What is Natlan in Genshin Impact?

Natlan is a region located west of the Sumeru desert. This land is renowned for its volcanic terrain, natural hot springs, and the unique coexistence of humans and dragon-like creatures called Saurians.

Ruled by the Pyro Archon and the God of War, Mavuika, Natlan is a place of burning elemental power. The region is divided into six major tribes, each with its own distinct culture, traditions, and customs.
