Golden Apple Archipelago, are you under the same sky?

Writer Olivia Zamora

In Teyvat, the stars in the sky will always have a place for you

Since the game was released last year, Travelers have been looking at the sky. Soon, someone noticed something floating up there, a constant presence that will accompany you everywhere, every time.

An island floating in the sky. Some say it is Celestia, some say it is the proof of the sky being fake. No mater what they say, the island still linger there, a constant presence. Or so it seems...

The Golden Apple Archipelago. A place lost in a dense fog, the first time you settle foot there you barely can see the sky, let alone something flying there.

But later, when the mist leaves place to the brightness of the sun, when the sky finally greets you again with its blue... something... seems missing.

The question is simple: Did anyone manage to catch a glimpse of the floating ruins anywhere in the Archipelago? And does the game provide any form of clue/lore as to why it shouldn't be visible from there? While the exact position of the island isn't know, it should be "close enough" to Mondstadt for Venti to know about and Dvalin to fly too in reasonable time and the ruins are even visible from Liyue probably even from Inazuma...


UPDATE:Apparently, in game lore confirms that the Archipelago is close enough to Mondstadt that a cataclysm managed to blast an entire mountain and make it fall there.

Albedo: "This whole island is a chunk of Mondstadt mountain. A great force dislodged it from the mountain range and cast it into the sea. As it fell, it began to spin, and ultimately landed upside-down, hence the topography you see today." Albedo: "Rather interesting. Another masterwork by the Anemo Archon, Barbatos, no doubt."

"Another masterwork from Venti".... or more probably, Alice, who didn't like the current view and thought that the mountain had to go...
