Summary
- Version 5.1 introduces new tribes in Natlan, with a decentralized power structure and unique story approach.
- The Pyro tribe, Flowerfeather Clan, makes its home in volcanic Natlan, with a Saurian mount for traversal.
- According to a new leak, the world boss is similar to the Consecrated Beasts from Sumeru.
Genshin Impact is introducing two new Natlan tribes in Version 5.1, as a recent leak showcases the NPCs, Saurian mount, and World Boss connected to the Pyro tribe. While fans have always praised Genshin Impact for its world-building, the nations of Teyvat have largely followed a pattern since Inazuma. Each region had a main government, and an alternate faction to go alongside it. Inazuma had the Tri-Commission and Sangonomiya, Sumeru had the Akademiya and Aaru Village, while Fontaine had the Court and the Fortress of Meropide.
For the upcoming region of Natlan, Genshin Impact is taking a different approach altogether – both from a gameplay and story perspective. Instead of having a main government, power in Natlan is heavily decentralized, as the region is made up of six tribes that each bear their own agenda. The first three Natlan tribes will debut in Version 5.0, with each having its own corresponding character, while the upcoming Natlan map expansions will introduce the Anemo and Pyro tribes in Version 5.1, and lastly, the Electro tribe in Version 5.2.
Genshin Impact Leak Reveals Free Character for Update 5.0
A new Genshin Impact leak reveals that players will be able to get a free copy of a popular four-star character in the upcoming version 5.0.
Information about the Pyro tribe was shared by snezhfed on the Genshin Impact Leaks subreddit, with the image showing its NPCs, world boss, and Saurian mount. The Pyro tribe's official name is the Flowerfeather Clan, and its clothing style heavily implies that Chasca is one of its members. While Chasca is expected to release in Version 5.2, the Flowerfeather Clan will feature in Version 5.1. The Pyro tribe makes their home on the mountain peaks of Natlan, and given that the region is known for its volcanic activity, it's a very fitting environment.
Genshin Impact Leak Showcases the Flowerfeather Clan in Version 5.1
While the nature of its connection to the Flowerfeather Clan is unknown, the world boss displayed in the image is eerily reminiscent of the Consecrated Beasts from Sumeru, and has a suitably avian design. This is further reflected in the visual appearance of the Cucusaurus – the chosen Saurian of the Flowerfeather Clan. Saurians in Genshin Impact allow players to traverse the lands of Natlan with ease, and a flying archetype is bound to be useful.
It should be noted that a Natlan character's Elemental Vision rarely corresponds with the element of their tribe. Despite belonging to the Flowerfeather Clan, Chasca was revealed to be a Cryo Bow character in the Ignition teaser for Natlan. Version 5.1 is expected to launch on October 11, 2024, and will mark the debut of Xilonen on the Event Banners.

WHERE TO PLAY
Step into Teyvat, a vast world teeming with life and flowing with elemental energy.
You and your sibling arrived here from another world. Separated by an unknown god, stripped of your powers, and cast into a deep slumber, you now awake to a world very different from when you first arrived.

Harness the seven elements to unleash elemental reactions. Anemo, Electro, Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, Dendro, and Geo interact in all sorts of ways, and Vision wielders have the power to turn this to their advantage.

As you stand atop the peaks of Jueyun Karst and take in the rolling clouds and vast terrain stretching out before you, you may wish to stay in Teyvat a little longer... But until you are reunited with your lost sibling, how can you rest? Go forth, Traveler, and begin your adventure!
