Nod-Krai

Nod-Krai (Chinese: 挪德卡莱; pinyin: Nuódé Kǎlái) is a fictional region in the video game Genshin Impact published by miHoYo. It is the seventh region to be added to the game, and was released with version 6.0 (titled "version Luna I") on September 10, 2025. It is the main setting for the "Song of the Welkin Moon" quest series. In the game, Nod-Krai is considered an autonomous region of Snezhnaya, and is located to the northwest of Natlan and south of mainland Snezhnaya. The geography and culture of Nod-Krai combine the landscapes of Northern Europe and the Baltic region, but is not based on a single clear real-world area; according to developers, Nod-Krai's overall design and narrative is shaped by interactions between various characters and factions. Several gaming outlets described Nod-Krai as a transitional arc leading into Snezhnaya, noting its use of multiple factions to connect earlier plot threads. Nod-Krai boosted the game's revenue and player discussion, and it received praise for tying together long-running storylines and engaging players. However, Nod-Krai also received criticism for some of its character designs.
