July Mid-Month Event
Welcome to Teyvat - a vast magical world of adventure.
Two weeks of unease is all Liyue gets to experience before their world is almost turned upside down.
Those with sharp eyes will notice a marked decline in Fatui appearances around Liyue. As for the cause...? These Fatui will now accost you, Traveler, seeking answers to the whereabouts of Rex Lapis' Gnosis. You'll have to flee from them, or otherwise convince them to back off by force. It seems they're very persistent, and their stubbornness is borne from their duty given by the Tsaritsa. Should they fail, her wrath will fall upon them instead. Surely, you can understand, right?
The Fatui's hurried search only lasts for a few days. In the wee hours of 18th December, Liyue will wake to an oppressive storm and rough seas. The bright glow from Guyun Stone Forest and subsequent ear-splitting roar confirms the worst - Osial has risen from the ocean floor, and without Rex Lapis to defend them, Liyue has to take things into their own hands. It's a race against time for the civilians to climb Mount Tianheng towards relative safety, and for the Millelith to combat smaller water monsters that crawl out from the ocean. The Jade Chamber hovering above Liyue sails towards the storm instead, a last-ditch defensive effort by the Adepti and the Qixing together.
You, Traveler, are destined for something greater. An Adeptus appears before you, beseeching your help. Should you agree, she will teleport you atop the Jade Chamber, where Adepti ballistae are firing against the demon god from above. However, the Adepti manning these contraptions need help to fend off the seemingly never-ending waves of Fatui coming at them. They will also lend you some enchantments to bolster your strength while you fight - the eventual proof that unity can overcome all.Alas, Osial fires a final blast that fractures the Jade Chamber. Just as all hope seems lost, Forneus' voice sounds in your mind.
It's not over yet. Focus your mind... think of your companions, your dreams, and your wish to liberate this world. Let your hopes illuminate the way forward!
Golden light begins to surround your body, coalescing into an orb in your palm. The light streams out from your hands and into the sky, piercing the demon god's body as a multitude of bright spears. Osial howls as familiar runes appear all over its body, fracturing it in a distinctive manner similar to glass. You glance at the Adepti - none of them seem to have expected this, but none of them seem to disapprove of it, either.
The Jade Chamber is still breaking apart, though. Better leave before it's too late - the Adepti will carry you down to safety.
State of the World
As planned, the Fatui have awakened Osial from its watery prison beneath Guyun Stone Forest. A confrontation with the demon god is inevitable - in the past, Rex Lapis was the one who sealed it away. This time, humanity has to prove that it can stand on its own without the intervention of gods. Forneus will also step in this time, using the power of your adversary to alter the course of history once and for all. After all, the only way to kill a god is to take their aspect away from them... or by repurposing it for something else.
There's also the matter of helping Liyue clean up after that near-tsunami. But this isn't the first time you've helped with disaster relief in Teyvat, yes?
Questions about this event can be asked below!

[He might have time, but Sooga isn't exactly the sort to commit to something before he hears the details, and the one person who he'll make exceptions for in that regard isn't here, so...]
no subject
He leans back, relaxing. He's not up to anything!)
What did you think about the battle? Did you find it surprising?
no subject
[He might be entirely mortal, but his tone sure could be mistaken for someone who's lived through enough ages to see this kind of thing happen a lot rather than just someone who actually attention to past history and myths.]
no subject
You heard his voice, right? Think of your companions and dreams, your wish to liberate this world... did you do that?
no subject
[The words are spoken plainly, a simple statement of fact in answer to a question that clearly had something more to it.]
no subject
no subject
...Perhaps it was difficult for others. My own wish is for my people never to be used and thrown away ever again.
[You, uh, might've found a bit of an emotional wound there, Tsuru.]
no subject
You were treated like tools instead of people.
(Is it a question? It doesn't really sound like one. It's more of a statement.)
CW for not unlikely discussion of war and genocide from here on out
[One of his hands curls into a fist.]
And both times the gods sanctioned this, now by direct action and then by her silence.
[It's... kind of a wonder he actually trusts Forneus or Zhongli, given the tone of his voice and the implications.]
no subject
Yes, that would be worse than most tools. But it's also as expected for most people. The worst of both existences...
(Maybe it's strange how he can stay calm the entire time while talking about something like this but he isn't unfamiliar with things like tragedy or how cruel people can be,)
But now you're helping a god?
no subject
[Terminating the contract may have an implicit clause of an attempt to terminate Forneus himself if he thinks the god is a greater threat than a help, low chance of success nonwithstanding.]
...But as he is now, I do not fear he will try to make blood sacrifices of us in a bid for power, intent as he is on ending Celestia's own power abuse.
[Very deliberately, he relaxes his fist and crosses his arms instead.]
I like Forneus. My trust, however, is very limited.
[...Well. Still kind of remarkable that the trust is there at all, given everything.]
