October Mid-Month Event
Welcome to Teyvat - a vast magical world of adventure.
Two weeks after the Travelers arrive in Inazuma, the conflict between the Shogunate and the Sangonomiya Resistance begin to intensify. At Forneus' behest, you venture west to survey the battlegrounds and consider your next move.

Heading west from Narukami Island will bring you to Kannazuka, the location of the Mikage Furnace. This furnace uses the power of the Tatarigami to produce high-quality swords for the Shogunate. However, sabotage by members of the Resistance have led to the furnace becoming unstable. The Shogunate's soldiers and the Shrine Maidens have set up camp on the island, but the two factions cannot decide on how to address the problem. That's where you come in. Unfettered by the chains of bureaucracy, you can act as you wish. Venture into the Furnace and stabilize it before it blows the island away.

Yashiori Island lies even further west. Its position means that it is currently the middle ground where the Shogunate and the Resistance skirmish. However, the fighting has died down due to torrential rain that blankets the island, as well as the intense Electro energy within Musoujin Gorge. Once, this island was the battlefield between the Raiden Shogun and Orobashi, with the latter defeated and sealed. However, someone broke its seals during the civil war, and the lingering resentment of the Serpent has possessed soldiers on the island, turning them violent.

Once again, a stalemate that can only be broken from the outside. This isn't anything new now, is it?

State of the World

The Sangonomiya Resistance have declared civil war on the Shogunate after the establishment of the Vision Hunt Decree. As you travel through Inazuma, you will eventually meet them, as well as their leader. It becomes evident that the two sides are locked in equal balance, and that the civil war does nothing good for anyone... which is why the overseer of the Narukami Shrine has asked you to come. You are unbound by any destiny, and thus able to tip the scales. But to do that, you will need a complete picture of the situation, and to solve problems that no one is willing to face.

No one has seen the Shogun out in public for quite a while. It seems that only a sufficiently grave danger will provoke her from within her castle. The enemy of eternity is change, and you are just that.

[ Far from his feelings being hurt, Crow is instead deeply amused. ]

Then they must not have left an impression yet.

[ He reaches out to shake Lutha's hand. ]

I'd rather you didn't say it's nice if you don't mean it, anyway. And I'd like to think I'm pretty good at using my words most of the time.

[hangfire]

[His hand feels unusually stiff underneath Crow's handshake, but he keeps as strong a grip as he can, even if he withdraws as soon as he possibly can.]

I'd rather not spout bullshit unless there's a damn good reason for it.

[bad_crowmance]

[ Crow's hand is gloved and his grip is firm but not punishingly so and he releases easily when Lutha does, tucking his hand behind his head. ]

I gotta respect that, man. The world could use less bullshit.

[hangfire]

If only.

[This world is CONFUSING and he is tired 99% of the time because his normal definition of bullshit doesn't always apply here!! Woe is him.

Hand successfully back to himself, Lutha flickers a flame back to life against his palm, tucking his amputated left arm against his waist. He's still shaking, still a little pale around the edges.]

Not a great time for introductions, though. Any reason you came over to bother a stranger about his weapon of all things, or is fighting a possessed village just boring you?

[If it is the latter then hmmmmm :/ :\]

[bad_crowmance]

"Boring"'s hardly a word I'd use for fighting a possessed village.

[ So it's definitely not that. ]

Honestly, I just noticed the impressive shooting and was interested in saying "hi." It doesn't really go any deeper than that.

[hangfire]

Good. Not sure you'd be worth talking to if you said otherwise. [Which, boo, means he lost his excuse to tell Crow to get lost. But the compliment doesn't irk him as much as it used to, taking a second to think over his response rather than spitting it right back at Crow.]

It's not really the weapon of choice around here. Not enough for a compliment like that, anyway.

[It's even, not self-degrading in tone. He knows very well he's a good shot. It just isn't usually a talking point.]
