How big is Teyvat supposed to be, canonically? The last few "region crossover" events made it very murky, and the new summer quest got me wondering again. Is going from one end of the continent to the other supposed to be a crazy journey only a weirdo like the Traveler would undertake, or something that anyone can do, so long as they can fend off the monsters?

I feel like it's supposed to be pretty huge for the following reasons:

  1. The Crux takes a few days to travel from Liyue to Inazuma.
  2. Wangshu Inn is supposed to be a rest stop for travelers between Mondstat(?) and Liyue.
  3. Traveling the Sumeru desert takes days-weeks and requires lots of supplies.

I'm not 100% sure and open to other opinions but the in-game descriptions make it seem pretty huge.

Yeah. It also makes sense that the different nations are so culturally different, if they're spaced out over large distances. It can be rather inconsistent, because some quests have NPCs treating excursions all the way across the map like it's no big deal.

The latest event has a few examples of this, which was one of the things compounding my irritation with the (imo) subpar overall execution of the storyline.

Yea I agree, some of these events make the world seem much smaller. Especially when it seems the other characters can't use the teleports and are supposedly traveling on foot.
