June Mid-Month Event: Settling In
Welcome to Teyvat - a vast magical world of adventure.
At last, we've reached Liyue, the city of Stone and Contracts. Everyone gets assigned to a small house just like in Mondstadt, equipped with the basic amenities and the ability to redecorate your place at will. Oh yeah, and it's a teapot. Wait, what?

Placing the pot on a flat surface will teleport you within. A finch spirit greets each Traveler inside, introducing itself as Tubby. Tubby is here to assist you in decorating your ~~pot~~ house! It is possible to bring in raw materials such as wood or stone, and then Tubby will shape these items into furnishings. You can also bring pre-made items from outside, of course.

There's no risk of your house being moved or trampled on while you're inside. The pot will be concealed using adeptal arts when in use, rendering it undetectable to all except those you wish to invite for a visit. It's pretty handy, huh? Why not take the two weeks until the official start of the mission to decorate?

Once night falls, a masked man may appear to invite you to a Secret Hideout. It seems like he knows you're part of some 'elite force' and is here to extend a ticket to 'exclusive chilling time' since your organizations are working together. If you do follow him, you'll be led to the Northland Bank and into a lounge room. There's a billiards table, darts, and a bar (but only juice for kids, of course), as well as a vintage record player.

As for what sort of news you'll overhear in the lounge: the Fatui are actively investigating Liyue, seeking out the whereabouts of Rex Lapis. As for what will happen when they do find him... wouldn't you like to find out?

Contrary to most of the Adepti who consider themselves above humans, Reed Painter has lived alongside humanity for centuries. He invites travelers to pay a visit to Jueyun Karst, so that they can see the realm in which the Adepti reside, and how distant it has become from the outside world.

Jueyun Karst is the very picture of a hidden paradise, devoid of any sign of civilization and filled with beautiful scenery. Do mind your manners when you're in the stone forests, though. Even a Sigil of Permission can't protect you from the Adepti's wrath should you dirty their lawn too much...

State of the World

Characters will be told by Forneus that they don't necessarily have to work for the next two weeks. They can if they want to, but they can also fix up their house and do other personal things. If you do want to do some work: you can take commissions from the Adventurers' Guild, the Liyue Ministry of Civil Affairs, or from the Fatui. Comment below with the faction of your choice and the mods will give your character a task to do. This will let your characters know more about them and get hints for July's happenings.

If your character wants to cause chaos immediately, you can don your Fatui Disguise (a glamour spell courtesy of Forneus) and fall in with the fantasy Russians. Causing chaos ranges from lurking menacingly in Liyue to actively breaking into government storehouses and other minor felonies. Don't worry, you will be teleported to safety should you get caught.

Retroactively, the vote about Dragonspine has been tallied, and the Mondstadt Adventurers' Guild will be informed of Vindagnyr by a woman dressed in black.

Questions about this update can be asked below!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Another sparring session, another moment of "Ana gets her ass beat but has zero regrets". Honestly, she's almost amazed Forneus is still humouring her since this is all so one-sided. Maybe it might be easier when she's more like herself again, but for now she's painfully mortal...

But he's also seemed way too patient with her, which is another something she finds confusing. Though that's not what's on her mind right now as she flops onto the floor and holds her hands up in surrender, letting her claymore fade away as she catches her breath.]

Hey, I've been wondering... [Another wheeze, another wince because she speaks again.] ... Why do you never use any magic? Besides the fact you would kick my ass immediately, since I'm assuming you want this to be kinda fair.

[ Forneus is completely unwinded by their sparring session, perhaps infuriatingly so. He vanishes his scythe once they're done, dusting the front of his coat. ]

Well, yeah. The same spell cast by a god would be many more times powerful than that capable of other beings. I don't want to incinerate you on accident.

[ He did say he'll resurrect her, though? ]

The other thing is that I find elemental magic kind of... hmm... redundant? When this world was created, the gods split its raw magic into multiple types, which are the elements you see today. But since I've existed long before this world was born, I don't need to slot myself into any of those categories.

[How annoying. Maybe she should punch him again since he lets her get away with that...]

Huh? But you can revive me, right? And it shouldn't even be much of a hassle since it's in your space, rather than outside.

[She assumes, anyway. Though while most people might be put off by the idea of dying in general, like an actual normal person, Ana wasn't exactly raised like that. Weapon-like mindset, nigh-immortality in her angelic form and all that.]

Soooo, does that mean you could technically use any of the elements?

Yeah, I could. But I don't want to.

[ #justgodthings ]

Besides, how else would I be able to make all those elemental Visions for you guys?

Ugh, fine. Maybe when I get my other form back I might pose more of a challenge.

[She doubts it though. Stupid gods and their god-like powers...]

And true. Though did you give us certain Visions for a reason?

[Except she can already guess why she got Pyro. ]

Yep. I am just borrowing the Archon's powers, after all. There are certain rules as to what kind of person can get a particular vision. While I'm bending it by not involving the god in question, I still have to abide by most of the rules.

[ So yeah it is a personality test. ]

Sooooooo, what's the rules?

[Now she's just being nosy.]

Each Archon has their specifications; which is to say, the type of person they like enough to bestow a blessing on. They usually judge via personality traits and morals. The Pyro Archon is also nicknamed the Lady of War, so it's natural that you'll get her blessing.

[Now that gets her to laugh, finally pushing herself onto her feet with a faint wince. Yeah, she's not going to even argue with that.]

Okay, yeah, that definitely fits. What about... [Let her think about people she knows...]

... What about Cryo?

Cryo, huh...

[ Forneus taps his chin, looking more serious as if they've just breached a difficult topic. ]

She was the Archon of Ice and Love. Though, she's different now, after an incident.

Love, huh...

[Sorry she's having a moment of #Doubt considering Tsurumaru...]

Though, different how?

[Let's ask that since she doubts he'll tell her about the incident ~~thanks for no lore mihoyo~~]

[ Tsurumaru does love humanity. It's like that sometimes. ]

Five hundred years ago, Khaenri'ah faced divine retribution. Though, Celestia ordered the Archons to participate as well. She loves humanity too, you know. It was a difficult time for her.
