 this is a very work-in-progress overview of the timeline & history of teyvat — as far as we know it, i guess. most of this is pulled from the [wiki](https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Timeline), so if you're looking for something more comprehensive, that's the place to go.

+## what is this?
+this is a little personal project we’re working on to keep track of our notes & thoughts about lore in genshin impact. it’s not a wiki, it’s not perfect or comprehensive, and it’s very much a constant work in progress.
+## why?
+genshin impact lore is really cool & interesting — there are so many themes, so many [motifs](https://teyvatlore.garden/tags/motifs/), so many [references](https://teyvatlore.garden/tags/reference/) & allusions. it’s hard to keep it all straight without feeling a little nuts.

+we’ve been making lots of haphazard notes and sending incomprehensible discord messages to each other about it all for a long time. we wanted to start keeping better track of it all in a way that’s both easy to edit & easy to share.
