Nod's Edge in Genshin Impact: When it will be released, map and where the area is located

В Genshin impact The Nod-Edge region is an autonomous part of Snowy Kingdom and is characterized by increased danger along with a harsh climate. Unlike the Ice Kingdom, this zone is overseen by the Voynich Guild, and is not controlled by the Fatui. Outside the main city, the wilderness is home to the mysterious Children of the Frost Moon, who possess unique magic.

Since the middle of the Natlan patches, more and more information has begun to indicate that this territory will become an intermediate one between the Fire Country and the Snow Country. In this article, we will analyze in detail everything that is known about the region, using both Nod-End leaks and official data.

When is Nod's Edge coming to Genshin Impact?

Estimated release date for Nod-End is 10 September 2025 years along with the release patch 6.0If this turns out to be true, then snowy should be expected only in 2026. This rumor is ed by several facts:

1. On the broadcasts on version 5.3 The developers announced a number of major events, among which this region was highlighted.
2. At the end of the main Natlan's plot and in a couple of events there were numerous references to Nod's End.
3. In China, a web event related to the area "The prophecy has come true! The New Moon is coming" was released at 9:10 local time, which, given the date format, can be considered a hidden announcement of the release of Nod-Kray, since the 10th day of the 9th month is exactly September 10th.

Map of Nod-Kray

The exact location of Nod-Kray is officially unknown, however, based on the story Li Benya in patch 5.1, he is in in the south of Snezhnaya. If the old map from beta testing is still relevant, then the location will extend west of FontaineIn that case, it is likely that the way to get to Nod-Kray will be through the Mon Esus mountains.

The web event "The Prophecy Has Come True! The New Moon Is Coming" revealed what Nod's End will look like. The image shows the outlines of statues Moon goddess and the likeness of a split Heavenly thorn, which were already encountered on fault.

Known locations

The stories revealed several key areas:

• Our city — the main city of Nod-Kray, which is ruled by the Voynich Guild. When visiting it, Helka advised to look in "Speranza" to Katya if there is a need to ask someone for help.
• Island of the Children of the Frost Moon — a wilderness area far from a settlement, inhabited by people gifted with unusual magic. The patterns on the ruins located there are similar to those found on ancient automatons of Natlan, which makes it possible that the island was previously part of the country of Pyro and was later somehow separated from it.

In addition, Nod-Kray is home to research base Fatui, with which Dottore and his subordinates are associated.

Characters from Nod-Kray

The people of Nod-Kray are endowed with a mysterious the power that precedes the seven elements Teyvat. The people from there can both have a new element and mechanics like Night SpiritThere is a theory that this is related to the ancient power of the dragons, since the lunar island is connected to Natlan technology.

Among the heroes from Nod-Kray, at the moment there were only NPCs Helkawhich in patch 5.3 was connected with the event "In the Footsteps of Giants". The girl was interested in studying monsters in different countries and went to travel around the world.

From Helka it became known about Katya — the owner of the Speranza and a former adventurer. Some believe she may be the local Katerina who accepts dailies, or even the Katarina from the quest Collea's watchman.

Due to the activation of the Abyss, Nod-Kray has attracted the attention of the Fatui, and although they do not control this area, it is highly likely that two will appear there. Harbingers:

• "Burning Ode to Resurrection" It was mentioned that the Doctor's base is located in Nod's End.
• Sousbrette Columbine was not directly shown in the plot, but her involvement in the history of Nod-Kray is presumably due to her connection with the Children of the Frost Moon and/or angels. The latter traits are clearly visible in the heroine's design.

Children of the Frost Moon

The Children of the Frost Moon live in forests and wild lands, worshiping a goddess who is Shadow of Life or a higher angel. They erected statues all over the island in honor of the lunar deity and possessed magic that preceded the seven "primary" elements. The mistress of the Speranza did not tell Helka much about the descendants of the Frost Moon, since they were strange people, not like the inhabitants of Nashgorod.

Nod-Kray Banners

Insider Shiroha shared the supposed order of the prayers. Another source, hxg_diluc, denies Dottore becoming a game in this region, which makes the whole list more questionable.

Culture of Nod-Kray

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.

There is in the city Voynich Guild, similar Ordo Favonius from Mondstadt, but they differ 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.
