Storm Terror's lair - Genshin Impact

Stormterror's Lair was once the capital of Old Mondstadt, when it was ruled by the previous Anemo Archon, Decarabian. After he was slain in an uprising, Barbatos took his place and reshaped the land. The people then moved the capital to an island in the middle of Cider Lake, where the city of Mondstadt remains to this day.

Five hundred years ago, victorious but grievously injured by the corrupted dragon Durin, the Dragon of the East Dvalin fell into a deep slumber in the ruins of the former capital. However, the people of Mondstadt forgot about him and when he reawakened, feared him and called him "Stormterror"—giving the region its current name. This, along with the pain from the poisonous blood clots inflicted by Durin, allowed him to be manipulated by the Abyss Order.

The region is protected by a storm barrier, preventing players from entering the area until the Archon Quest Prologue, Act 3 quest "Hurdle."
