Interestingly, there is speculation suggesting that this enigmatic island may act as a portal to Mare Jivari, a site woven into Genshin Impact’s expansive lore. Known as a desolate, fiery wasteland, Mare Jivari, or the Sea of Ashes, is positioned on Natlan’s western fringes and is infamous for its perilous environment.
While it remains unclear whether players will gain direct access to Mare Jivari through this newly hinted island, the mere connection to this uncharted territory has undoubtedly piqued community interest.

Another significant update from FullStop Chan suggests that the character Durin, a legendary dragon entwined with Mondstadt’s history, may feature in the upcoming content. Once corrupted by Abyssal energy, Durin was defeated by the Anemo Archon, Barbatos, alongside the dragon Dvalin.
Durin’s remains lie on Dragonspine, perpetuating speculation among players about his ongoing influence on the game’s narrative. Should these leaks hold true, players may encounter Durin in the story arc related to Mondstadt in the Genshin Impact 5.6 update.
Moreover, there are hints that Durin’s character model could resemble that of Venti, the Anemo Archon, showcasing a shorter male design. However, without official confirmation regarding Durin’s role in the forthcoming update, the community is left to ponder his potential impact on the evolving storyline.
