Genshin Impact
Naberius
34
Naberius, also known as Maadteraahka by the Frostmoon Scions, is the Ruler of Life among the Four Great Rulers of Teyvat. She was one of the Four Shades created by the Heavenly Principles when they first arrived on Teyvat thousands of years ago. At some point after the Cataclysm 500 years ago, her heart was consumed by Rhinedottir, which caused her power and consciousness to be merged into the latter's body.
As the Ruler of Life, Naberius governs over the laws of life in Teyvat. From Hyperborea to Sal Vindagnyr, her compassion was revered by all. Like the other Great Rulers, her existence also predates any Archon.
Even after Rhinedottir devoured her heart and she lost her agency, her consciousness still remains and continues to express her disapproval of the way Rhinedottir uses her power for her own amusement.
In the time period known as "When the Doves Held Branches," Naberius was created by the Heavenly Principles to assist them in fighting against the Seven Sovereigns. 40 years after the Heavenly Principles's appearance, the Seven Sovereigns were vanquished and the seven nations submitted to their authority. Naberius was responsible for helping the Heavenly Principles create animals, plants, and humans.
Upon the birth of a child, the people of Hyperborea offered a pinch of sea salt to Naberius at the sacred stone. The newborn was then bathed in warm water infused with Winter Icelea as part of the blessing ritual.
After the deposition of the Primordial Sea's first heart, the Hydro Dragon, she created Egeria to serve as the new heart of the Primordial Sea.
In Asmoday's absence, Naberius and the other Rulers began introducing objects they found interesting into the exhibition halls of the Temple of Space and allowing minor changes. Additionally, together with the other Rulers, she commissioned Venipi to recreate a Sumerian desert complex from memory, resulting in the present-day Desert Pavilion.
