Who is the Oldest Archon?

In the world of Genshin Impact, the Archons are powerful beings who govern over the seven nations. Among them, Morax, the God of Contracts, is considered the oldest Archon, with at least 2,000 years under his rule. Liyue’s Morax is a central figure in the game, known for his role as the ruler of Liyue and his ability to create contracts with the nations.

The Original Seven Archons

According to the Gnostic system, the original seven Archons were:

• Iao
• Saklas
• Seth
• David
• Eloiein
• Elilaios
• Yaldabaoth (or Sabaoth)

It is worth noting that Ei is also mentioned as an Archon, but his age is not explicitly stated. Additionally, Zhongli is said to have been the creator of Mora, and his name is derived from his real name, Morax.

The Youngest Archon

On the other end of the spectrum, the youngest Archon is the Dendro Archon, who is seen in the Sumeru trailer. According to Mihoyo, the developers of Genshin Impact, the Dendro Archon was chosen to rule over Sumeru by the previous Archon because the previous one had died. This makes the Dendro Archon significantly younger than Morax and the other Archons.

Intelligence and Insights

When it comes to intelligence and insights, Nahida is considered the most intelligent Archon. According to her backstory, Nahida spent 500 years observing the world and gathering knowledge, making her incredibly wise and capable.

Relationships and Alliances

The Archons’ relationships and alliances with each other and with the Traveler are complex and nuanced. For example, Signora’s hatred towards Venti is likely related to his role as the vessel of Barbatos and her own goals of ending the "corruption of the Abyss and the ignorant human."

Conclusion

In conclusion, Morax, the God of Contracts, is considered the oldest Archon, with at least 2,000 years under his rule. The original seven Archons, including Morax, are mentioned in the Gnostic system. On the other end, the Dendro Archon is the youngest Archon, chosen to rule over Sumeru due to the death of the previous Archon. The Archons’ intelligence and relationships with each other are complex and multifaceted, with Nahida standing out as the most intelligent and Venti’s allergies causing him to react poorly to Diona’s presence.
