Origin Story

Long ago, Venti was not a god. He was a tiny wind spirit living in Old Mondstadt, which was ruled by the tyrant god Decarabian. During a rebellion, Venti befriended a young bard who dreamed of freedom.

The rebellion succeeded, but the bard died. After becoming the new Anemo Archon, Venti took the appearance of his fallen friend to honor his memory. He then reshaped Mondstadt into the nation of freedom.
