## Story

### History

Lailah was born in the region of Malisacia, where dreams were highly valued and considered an integral part of life. From a young age, Lailah showed a deep fascination with the realm of dreams, spending long hours pondering its mysteries and exploring its hidden depths. He was known for his vivid imagination and his ability to create intricate dreamscapes that were said to be almost lifelike in their detail.

Despite his passion for the dream world, Lailah was also known for his kind heart and his gentle nature. He was deeply empathetic and had a strong sense of compassion for those in need, often going out of his way to help those around him. This earned him the respect and admiration of his fellow villagers, who saw him as a kind and wise soul.

As he grew older, Lailah became more and more immersed in the study of dreams, delving deep into the realm of the unconscious mind and exploring its many mysteries. He spent many years working to hone his craft, developing new techniques for exploring and manipulating the dream world.

Despite his incredible talent, Lailah remained humble and grounded, never forgetting his roots as a simple villager from Malisacia. He continued to work tirelessly to improve his craft, always pushing himself to new heights of creativity and exploration.

### Ascension to Godhood

After years of studying and practicing the power of dreams, Lailah caught the attention of the previous Mene Archon, Aglibol. Impressed by Lailah's dedication and potential, Aglibol granted him the power of a god.

Following his ascension to godhood, Lailah was known only as the God of Dreams. It is said that upon his ascension, a connection to Celestia was left behind. The exact nature of this connection remains shrouded in mystery, but it is believed to be a direct link between the realm of dreams and the heavenly abode of the gods.

Despite his newfound power, Lailah remained dedicated to his people and his responsibilities as the God of Dreams. It is said that he spent many years perfecting his abilities, honing his powers over the realm of dreams and the unconscious mind.

As time passed, Lailah's influence and power grew, and he became known as one of the most powerful and enigmatic figures in all of Teyvat. Though he was still known only as the God of Dreams, it was clear that his power and influence extended far beyond the realm of dreams alone.

### Becoming the Mene Archon

Following Aglibol's death from the Night Terrors, Lailah ascended to the position of Mene Archon and became responsible for the welfare of the people of Malisacia. He struggled initially to adapt to his newfound role, and found himself often at odds with other Archons in the region. Despite this, he remained committed to the protection and guidance of his people, using his abilities to enter and manipulate the dreams of mortals in order to offer guidance, bestow blessings, and even cause nightmares and torment. Under Lailah's leadership, Malisacia continued to prosper, with new innovations in dream research and advancements in dream technology. Lailah was able to maintain a stable and prosperous society, protecting his people from threats both internal and external.

Lailah's early years as the Mene Archon were marked by conflict with the neighboring nation of Elmisia, who saw his abilities as a threat to their own power. The two nations had long been rivals, and tensions between them often boiled over into conflict. In one particularly heated encounter, Elmisian forces breached the border and attempted to invade Malisacia. Lailah rallied his forces and led them into battle, ultimately repelling the invaders and securing the safety of his people. The victory cemented Lailah's reputation as a powerful and capable leader, and earned him the respect and admiration of his people. Lailah worked tirelessly to protect his people, and it was through his efforts that Malisacia was able to maintain its independence and sovereignty.

As time passed, Lailah became increasingly focused on his duties as an Archon, and began to withdraw from public life. He was rarely seen outside of his palace, and even then, only on the rarest of occasions. Despite this, he remained a powerful and respected figure in Malisacia, and was seen as a symbol of hope and renewal by his people.

Lailah continued to rule over Malisacia for centuries, always seeking to guide and protect his people. He remained ever watchful, using his power to enter the dreams of mortals and ensure that they were at peace. His rule was marked by a time of prosperity and innovation, with Malisacia becoming a center of dream research and technology under his guidance.

To this day, Lailah remains the Mene Archon of Malisacia, presiding over a nation that continues to thrive and innovate under his watchful eye. Though his true intentions and desires remain shrouded in mystery, Lailah is widely respected and admired by his people, who see him as a symbol of hope and renewal. Despite his many accomplishments, Lailah remains an enigmatic figure, and his true intentions and desires remain shrouded in mystery. Some whisper that he is driven by a desire to protect his people at all costs, while others suggest that he is simply biding his time, waiting for the right moment to make his move.

### Present Day

In the present day, Lailah is known to take on the form of a human named Jaci in order to move freely among his people. While the people of Malisacia are aware of Jaci's existence, they do not know that he is in fact the Mene Archon in disguise. Jaci is known for his kindness and gentle nature, and is often sought out by those in need of comfort and guidance.

Despite his devotion to his people, Lailah remains an enigmatic and mysterious figure. His true intentions and desires remain shrouded in mystery, and few outside of his closest confidantes know the full extent of his powers and abilities.

Recently, Lailah became involved with the Traveler and their companion, Paimon, when the two arrived in Malisacia during their journey across Teyvat. Lailah first met the Traveler and Paimon during the Archon Quest Prologue: The Dark Side of Dreams. The Traveler and Paimon were investigating the mysterious Nightmares plaguing the people of Malisacia, which were eventually traced back to the machinations of the Abyss Order.

Lailah aided the Traveler in their quest to put an end to the Nightmares, sharing his knowledge of the dream world and the unconscious mind. Despite his best efforts, however, the Nightmares continued to spread, and it was ultimately revealed that they were being caused by a powerful force from within the Abyss Order. Lailah and the Traveler were ultimately able to put an end to the Nightmares, but not before uncovering a dark secret at the heart of the Abyss Order's machinations.
