November Mid-Month Event
Welcome to Teyvat - a vast magical world of adventure.
On the morning of the 15th, the peace of Watatsumi Island is broken by the sound of a battle horn. The Shogun is arriving.

The Shogunate Army has decided to ambush Watatsumi Island before its forces can recuperate. Left with no choice, Kokomi asks you to join her people on the front lines to bolster their numbers. Your objective is to repel and not kill them, so she hopes you won't use lethal force. It's not too difficult if you have been practicing your Vision skills, for the Shogunate's soldiers are not Vision users.

And then a vast storm cloud blankets the skies overhead, bringing deafening peals of thunder. The Raiden Shogun has arrived. You can see her stand on one of the cliffs, unsheathing her Musou no Hitotachi. Electro energy swirls around her blade, making everyone's hair stand on end. She is poised to cut Watatsumi Island in half, including everyone currently standing on it.

Except it doesn't happen. The Shogun's blade of light is stopped at the water's edge by a shining translucent barrier. Myriads of symbols crisscross the surface of the barrier, of which you may have seen before. Forneus steps out of a portal onto the beach a moment later, dressed in a completely different outfit than what you're used to. If you've done your reading, you'll recognize it as formal Archon garb.

"Oh dear, oh dear. I can't have you going around cutting islands like pizza, can I?" Forneus seems extremely nonchalant as he walks to the edge of the barrier where the Raiden Shogun is trying to cut through with her sword. "You should be a more responsible Archon, you know. There's no point in destroying your own turf."

However, the Shogun doesn't seem to register his words. Her blank countenance shifts, becoming one that might be described as angry. "You...! You are an enemy of Eternity!"

With that, Forneus has provoked her single-minded ire, and he soars upward into the sky like some sort of Tinkerbell parody with the Shogun hot on his tailcoats. She's intent on ending him with her bladework, but Forneus has an almost prescient skill in parrying her blows with his scythe. You're free to watch two gods duel in the atmosphere, but Forneus' voice sounds in your head a moment later.

Hey, I need you to get the soldiers to stand down. Shoo them back to their camps or something. There's no point fighting if your gods are doing the fighting themselves, no? I'll take all the heat from her in the physical world.

Once that's done, it seems the gods still haven't stopped fighting, and neither show any sign of being tired. This is when Yae shows up on the beach, as if she was there all along. She informs you that she will spirit you to the Plane of Euthymia, where the Electro Archon has been residing for the past few centuries, so that you can show her the wishes of her people. You must tell her of what is happening in the outside world, and convince her to leave her isolation.

Of course, when words fail, you may challenge her to a duel. In this isolated space, the laws of power and effect are distorted. Your strength will be bolstered by the experiences of the people whom you have met on your travels. By keeping them in your mind, you may prove your resolve to her.



State of the World

It's time to... fight a god!

With Forneus dueling her in the physical world, there's nothing preventing the Raiden Shogun from blocking Yae Miko sending you into her mental realm. The Raiden Shogun that people see isn't the true Shogun herself - rather, a puppet body made for the purpose of carrying out her Archon duties. The Electro Archon's name is Ei, and she is willing to hear you out given that Yae has clearly put her faith in you. The two women go way back.

However, if you fail to convince her, you can duel her. With Forneus' help, you are able to call on your experiences in Teyvat and bring to bear the voices of those that you have met. Your augmented might may just be a match for her if you are focused.

Time flows a little differently inside the Plane of Euthymia. On entry, you may become separated from the rest of your allies and end up facing Ei by yourself or with a single friend. Regardless, the nature of temporary parallel timeline provision means that everyone's efforts will converge back into the prime timeline and none of your efforts will go unseen.
