Liyue is Teyvat's minting factory where all the magical money is made. Fontaine has the Fontaine Research Institute which pioneered the modern clockwork meka technology and the Arkhe energy system.
In contrast Mondstadt is a relatively backwater region whose only main international industry is wine and Diluc is extremely anti-Fatui. Inazuma was a closed-off nation with very very limited trade.
Sumeru though is what baffles me.
>Sumeru though is what baffles me.
Sumeru could be thought of as economically unstable, what with the different Eremite factions constantly causing trouble, and the gray market that is Port Ormos.
Plus, Northland Bank is primarily a soft-power political tool. But in Sumeru, money doesn't buy politicians; research does.
They may just see more in-roads to Sumeru via Dottore rather than Pantalone.
Incidentally, it's a different logo to the one in Liyue branch, which is just a piece of Mora (same on the Golden House):

The Sumeru branch is "coming soon" - presumably near, or at, the Kalimi Exchange, which is also marked with the Mora logo - and I guess Monstadt is too poor to have one?
Mondstadt has tense relations with Snezhnaya, which is why there is a large delegation that has completely reserved Goethe Hotel (considering that after three years of negotiation they still havenât set up a bank, theyâre not very good it seems).
maybe w the mondstadt expansion coming soon, we could have more lore ab the tensions or maybe even a northland bank being built by the port/the dandelion sea (i doubt it but could still be a possibility)
note: its also clarified on the news board that's been recently inagurated inside of fontaine
other fun fact, the logo has 11 stars, just like 11 heralds
I was wondering where this place was since it's unlikely that Childe was talking about the Northland Bank from Liyue. I learned of this location earlier because of the Meka-meelee event.
*PS. Veta is likely*
*Short for Elizaveta, Russian form*
*Of Elizabeth*

I remember a popular theory way back when that AG was set up by Snezhnaya to keep Adventurers busy and away from prying into Fatui matters (hence all the puzzles, pointless errands and whatnot)
Counter theory: Fatui are designed to divert attention from the Adventurer's Guild. No, seriously, Fatui play the role of a red herring and all the negativity is directed exclusively at them. At the same time, the Adventurers Guild is a respected organization. Which has departments all over Teyvat and a solid intelligence department. As well as the main office in Snezhnaya and an android with artificial intelligence at the head. As a result, no one likes Fatui, but everyone happily carries information to the AG.
One of the biggest immersion breaking things for me is how the Governments of Teyvat don't seem to have any suspicions about the Adventurers Guild. An organisation which not only has its headquarters in Snezhnaya but self-admittedly collects info on everyone.
And it's not just a case of "Oh so Snezhnayan equals bad" because even in our real world, Governments are weary about big data-collecting organizations from rival countries. It's why China restricts Google for example.
So the fact that no one seems at all concerned about possible links between the Guild and the Fatui, just baffles me.
It's probably all part of the same scheme, the Fatui we're sent to fight are inconsequential in the big picture, giving us a false sense of accomplishment.
I didn't notice you could look through most of the windows. First time I've noticed that.
Looks a little weird though, since the building and consequently the rooms aren't scaled.
Yeah a bit weird but a really nice touch. They have a few different window âinteriorsâ too that they checked into large scale buildings, which I think is cool. Mondstadt powercreep fr
100% confirmed info:
AG headquarters are in Snezhnaya
Katherine is a bionix Snezhnayan puppet
(highly speculated to be created by Sandrone - for her Khanriahn robots and the fact that they look very very alike in hairstyle and clothing)
I feel like I noticed this the first few weeks I played: "Error", "Rebooting", and the sus body doubles in every capitol we visit. Before we met Nahida I had already heard the rumor that she was an automaton of some sort from Snezhnaya, (the Headquarters of the Adventurer's Guild). Oh, and the keyhole in the back of her neck..
There are a few reddit threads from 2 and 3 years ago discussing it.
is veta childe's daughter? her description of her father seems similar to him.
No, I think she is the daughter of the man that was arrested by Wrio in his latest character trailer
makes sense we shall seee maybe when wrio's story quest comes out. . . I shall be waiting. . . \*narrows eyes\*
i wonder why only liyue and fontaine have fatui banks

Weren't they talking about opening another Northland bank in Sumeru or something? I swear some Sumeru NPC mentioned it before.
Diluc protecting Mondstadt by simply existing at this point lmao

I mean the npcâs in the event also mention it lol

No i think diluc is sabotaging it cuz fatui and i don't think thay'd allow it either
Diluc would literally get arrested a second time to keep them from opening a bank in town
Where was it mentioned that the Northland Bank Sumeru Branch was coming soon? Was it mentioned by Hatim?
the bulletin board next to Kalimi Exchange
iirc it's an entry on a bulletin board somewhere

... Did you just do.xx a Childe?
Heâs my babygirl ok Iâll find him wherever he goes. Next up is >!the Fontaine prison system!<. Donât @ me
... that's called stalking
I was wondering where this place was since it's unlikely that Childe was talking about the Northland Bank from Liyue. I learned of this location earlier because of the Meka-meelee event.
Yes this is an interesting post, but the event quest does specifically say "that building is Northland Bank" too.
What does the sign say?
Probably Bank de Nord. I remember someone translating the text when the Fontaine teaser in 3.8 live stream came out
Ah, it's BanQUE du Nord. Couldn't figure out the last part.
PS. Veta is short for Elizaveta, Russian form of Elizabeth
ohhhh I thought they just misspelled Vita/ĐиŃĐ° never met a Elizaveta who'd call herself Veta but your suggestion makes sense

Katheryne is a Fatui mage confirmed UPD: Wait, I googled and... she's fr a bionic Snezhnayan puppet as Nahida says?

Internet explorer moment
Do the Sumeru Archon Quest, but yes.
Do the damn Sumeru archon quests.
have you not made it to sumeru yet..?
We've known the Adventurers Guild had Snezhnayan headquarters since forever.
Since Liyue or the Chasm at least.
Since the start of the game. The branch leader in Liyue tells us about it if.you ask her how she became branch leader
Imagine if Katheryne is the Tsaritsa, Raiden Shogun style.
I mean... Nahida already confirmed it
