I theorised 6.X to be split in 2 halves the moment I heard about Nod Krai, I just wasn’t sure if the 2nd half will be Dornman Port or Mare Jivari. Especially now with the newly teased characters, all the recognisable ones being from Mondstadt and none from Nod Krai.

I believe they named 6.X versions “Luna versions” so it can be a clear distinction between the Nod Krai versions and the Dornman Port versions, so with this said, will the Dornman port versions be called “Windmill versions” or something?

Hoyoverse simply didn’t have time to add all the locations they mentioned until the end of Snezhnaya if Nod Krai didn’t exist. Now with an entire year made free and dedicated for whatever they want to add, Nod Krai’s map and story just can’t fill an entire year of content, so this year’s content being split with Dornman Port is just perfect for the timing, Mare Jivari can be added to a version of Snezhnaya or Khaenri'ah like they did with The Chasm and Chenyu Vale and then we are ready for whatever comes after the Teyvat Chapter.

If what I just yapped here would all be true, everything that bugged us since 6.0 would all now be clear as day:

-6.X is split in half and Nod Krai will end soon

-We’ll have time to visit all the teased locations

-Hoyoverse naming 6.X “Luna versions” is not just a bad and meaningless decision to confuse us, but a clear distinction between Nod Krai versions and Dornman Port versions

-Snezhnaya is truly coming in 7.X

*Also, is anything I said here actually well known and already official? If so, oops.*

But now the most important question remains. **Will our beloved Liben be back sooner than usual?**

*(Everything I said here is just theory and I don’t actually know sht, I’m just asking questions and looking if people agree with me or disagree, I’m not here to make false statements)*
Does this mean half of 6.X is Nod Krai and the other half of 6.X is Dornman Port? Snezhnaya has been made official for 7.X (sort of), so will Liben be back in the later versions of 6.X to tease us about Snezhnaya as well?
