I do not like "time travel," so despite all the latest indicators pointing towards time travel as the source of timey-wimey-weirdness in Nod-Krai (and Teyvat in general), I would like to provide an alternative.
Allow me to introduce you to a new type of time: Book Time!

When I started this project, I was really trying to figure out why dragons had all the characteristics of collective consciousnesses and with the release of Fontaine, I think I have a slightly more plausible idea.
Get ready for a bonkers theory about the true nature of Teyvat, Celestia, Visions, and the Gnosis.
Special thanks to Roozevelt, Schwan and Sabre for putting up with my nonsense while I was making this.

Ive talked about Teyvats ancient history a bunch of times but something still bothers me: Why did the moons fall, and WHEN? And if we can answer that question, can we use that information to figure out stuff like when Khaenriah was founded?
Well, heres my attempt at a more or less complete Ancient Teyvatian timeline!
