Tales of Teyvat, a Genshin Lore Podcast

Episode 100: The Teyvat Timeline

SEASON FIVE

Our team provides travelers with visual and video aids every episode to help them better understand comparisons, learn more about topics, and follow what we’re discussing. While we strive to include links to official Genshin Impact resources, some may also be to third-party channels.

Below is a visual of the Teyvat Timeline and a downloadable PDF to help guide you through our interpretation of the events of Teyvat. These opinions are our own and are derived from in-game content up to version 5.3. Updates to the timeline will be made in the future and will be available on our Genshin Resources page.

Thank you to the friends of the pod who sent messages and questions for this episode! Be sure to check out The Shade Chamber, The Resonance, and Vanessa. You can also chat with Al and Elliott in our Discord.

The graphic is mostly text showcasing a timeline. It reads:
