October Mingle
Welcome to Teyvat - a vast magical world of adventure.
The Miko of the Grand Narukami Shrine has arranged for your passage out of Ritou and into the Inazuma islands at large. The nation has been gripped by an oppressive atmosphere ever since the enactment of the Vision Hunt Decree, and only someone unyoked by the Electro Archon can hope to break this stalemate.
Konda Village sits on the outskirts of Inazuma city. A pillar of its community now seeks to move out after losing his Vision. A samurai employed by the Shogunate is being accosted of hiding rations by his neighbours, and he has no recollection of ever dealing in such matters. Forgetting something seems to be the thread that links every former Vision holder's story together, yet their tragedies differ greatly in circumstance. Is the loss of a Vision truly so profound? If so, then why did the gods deliver such a poisoned gift to their people?
A mysterious priestess approaches you with a sincere request - Kazari seeks your aid in purifying the Thunder Sakura around Inazuma, as well as the Sacred Sakura on Mount Yougou. She tells you that these trees absorb the evil from the very land, but cannot dispel it without outside intervention. Here's where you come in: you need to dispel the sealing sigils around the holy trees, so that the filth accumulated within their roots can take form and then be swiftly cut down.
The seals, the trees, and Kazari herself are relics from the olden days - the mystical Inazuma, where kitsune and tengu lived and worked alongside humans and their god. But those days have since ended, and all that is left is a stifling eternity.
State of the World
The Land of Eternity is not without failings. By pursuing 'Eternity' and closing the doors of her nation, the Raiden Shogun has only made the lives of her people more difficult. Exploring the country may give you some clues as to how you can break her enforced stasis. You must first understand the situation of the nation, and then find the natives who also wish to change their world.
Please direct all questions to October's OOC post!

...Yes, on both counts, in different ways.
Back home... I'm the pilot of an ancient weapon known as a "Divine Knight." [Even the names are similar. It makes Rean's stomach turn.] And I mean... it's not like the Divine Knights themselves are inherently destructive or evil. They have their own personalities, and the one I'm contracted with, Valimar... he's really thoughtful, you know? I'm proud to call him my partner.
But recently, they've started mass-producing humanoid tanks in the image of the Divine Knights. They're not as powerful and they don't have sentience, but they're basically the weapons wars are fought with now.
[. . .]
A part of my job is to teach my students how to pilot the Soldat units. And whenever the government calls on me... I have no choice but to follow their orders.
That's included helping them conquer other territories. [His hair is falling in front of his face, but it's clear just from his voice how guilt-ridden he is over all of this.] Twice, now.

...It's okay to run in order to live. I know you won't, because it's you... But it's okay if you want to.

It's... not like no one's done this to him before? In fact, he can recall very vividly who has— Elliot. And so this gesture is comforting, very much so, but... he just didn't expect it from Sooga.
Unfortunately, Sooga's words don't do quite as much to help.]
...You're right.
Even if I wanted to— and I don't, there are people I can't bear to leave behind...
I need to do this. Not because it's what's ordered of me, but because if I'm not in there trying to bring things to a close as peacefully as possible, I don't know what might become of any territories that man decides he wants to make his.
I can't let more people get hurt. Whatever happens to me, compared to that... it doesn't really matter.
