In the Genshin Impact 5.0 trailer, there are bits and pieces of information on the region's lore and the "previous Pyro Archon." It was revealed, Natlan was invaded by the Abyss in the past, and the Pyro Archon of that time had joined forces with the various tribes of the nation to repel this calamity. It is mentioned in the trailer that the conflict between the two factions goes back in history.

This information leads one to believe that the incident that is being mentioned here may have occurred during the cataclysm from five centuries ago. Although the previous Pyro Archon emerged victorious after a fierce battle, the consequences of the invasion stayed with the nation for generations.

Based on the Genshin Impact 5.0 trailer, it looks like the Abyss Order is trying to gain access to the Night Kingdom. A significant portion of the trailer was dedicated to the Night Kingdom.

It seems that the Abyss is gradually expanding its grasp over the Night Kingdom, and gaining the ability to read the memories of Natlan at its will. It is stated in the trailer that one who enters the Night Kingdom, needs to triumph over the Abyss to gain the right to be revived.

The theme of "Resurrection" has been referenced multiple times whenever HoYoverse has teased Natlan. The Teyvat Chapter Storyline preview, the Genshin Impact 5.0 trailer, and during the livestream for version 5.0 itself, the developers mentioned that "In Natlan, the flames of our heroes are not easily extinguished."

Based on all the information that has been provided thus far, the Abyss Order, led by the Fatui Harbinger, The Captain appears to have invaded the Night Kingdom to make use of its powers and possibly bring someone or something back to life.
