Overview
They are not the absolute superior beings that are commonly talked about in this world but are merely "a race of people with extremely strong powers compared to humans" bound by Teyvat's laws of creation.
People say that they are immortal, but they can wear out over time or die in battle. In reality, when a vacant seat becomes available, another archon who inherits the same kind of deity is born and fits into that seat. Therefore, in addition to their "name as an archon", there are also individuals who receive a "name as an individual".
