Rhinedottir

245

Rhinedottir, also known by her title "Gold" and by her Hexenzirkel codename "R," is an alchemist researcher and one of the Five Sinners of Khaenri'ah. She is a practitioner of the Art of Khemia and is best known for her masterpieces, Durin and Albedo. After devouring and merging with Naberius, she assumed her functions as the Ruler of Life among the Four Great Rulers. She is linked to the cataclysm 500 years ago, which led to the fall of Khaenri'ah's Eclipse Dynasty and spawned monsters in the world of Teyvat. She is a member of the Hexenzirkel and described by the organization as "A flower that is not of this world." Rhinedottir was an alchemist and researcher from Khaenri'ah who attained the pinnacle of both knowledge and alchemical prowess, thus coming to be known as "Gold". As one of the Five Sinners of Khaenri'ah, she is a transcendental being who possesses an "earth-shattering" amount of Abyssal power. She was particularly proficient in the forbidden Art of Khemia (the alchemical practice of creating life) and used it to create all sorts of living beings. At some point in time, she developed "a penchant for madness." It is implied that Rhinedottir's creations draw on the power of the Ruler of Life, which confer them with a degree of immortality. Certain creations, like the Bakunawa, further augment it by drawing from Abyssal power instead. Rhinedottir classified her creations under several pedigrees which appear to reflect the type of 'soil' from which they were produced. Three such categories are known, with "Alfisol" referring to the riftwolves, "Humus" being the origin of Durin, and "Cretaceus" for Albedo. Notably, the lattermost category (chalk) is said to be of highest quality. Many of her creations had a will of their own. Rhinedottir was the architect of the Primordial Human Project, an ambitious experiment which aimed at creating a human being through alchemy. While the project was eventually successful, culminating in the creation of Albedo.

Naberius

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.
