Fontaine is the fifth region the player will visit in Genshin Impact. This gorgeous nation is the domain of the Hydro Archon, Focalors, who also serves as the God of Justice. During their travels, characters will encounter many new mechanics, meet some brand new characters, and take on many, many quests. This directory will help Travelers with all of these things and more, serving as a one-stop-shop for everything in Fontaine and, more generally, a guide to everything that happens in the 4.x arc!

Tip: This directory will outline all of our character guides for characters from Fontaine. But, we do have a full character guide directory at the following link:
