The Pyro Nation of Natlan is filled with lore drops, with ties straight to the Abyss and the region responsible for setting up the story for the Snezhnaya arc, it holds a ton of importance. Ironically, the Pyro Nation has revealed no Pyro vision wielders so far in the Archon quest other than the Pyro Archon herself. This has stirred up a wicked theory in my mind about the possibility of the Traveler becoming the next Pyro Archon in the story.
New dialogue leaks from version 5.1 reveals the name of a city in Snezhnaya — Nordekalle. Nordekalle is said to be located at the southern tip of Snezhnaya and is a place where people from all over Teyvat gather. The dialogues also make it seem as if the situation in Snezhnaya is quite tense.
