The city of scholars located in the west-central part of Teyvat.
A fantastical nation of both lush rainforest and barren desert, where countless fruits of wisdom grow and are buried. Whether Travelers travel from afar through the forest to reach the academy city or delve deep into the desert to discover the historical ruins of the red desert, a wealth of valuable knowledge awaits them here.
“Sumeru” was originally composed by Yu-Peng Chen for an eclectic mix of traditional South Asian and Middle Eastern instruments with a classical symphony orchestra to accompany the nation’s complex landscape. The original composition draws reference from classical works such as Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade while incorporating instruments such as the sitar, duduk, ney, and hammered dulcimer along with prominent saxophone features seldom heard in a classical context.
Our first glimpse of Sumeru is with the burning of Irminsul, the world tree... but don’t worry, it was just a little dream. Following the theme of “drizzling rain and flying sand,” this arrangement takes us through the towering flowers and trees of the rainforest, then crosses into the desert’s endless sand dunes and their buried secrets be- fore concluding with the Sumeru main theme.
