MAY MINGLE

May Mingle: Entombed City
Welcome to Teyvat - a vast magical world of adventure.
Everyone's hard work resulted in the gate to upper Dragonspine opening. These ruins have not been traversed in years, if not centuries - everything within has been lost to time and living memory. An entire city has been buried in the snow.

Traces of technology can be found in the city - golden boxes that contain crystals capable of recording and playing back holograms. One of the boxes introduces this place as Vindagnyr; a land once full of greenery and life. Just what happened to these people? What caused the eternal winter?

The city's inhabitants worshipped Celestia. Why then were they left to die?
State of the World
On October 1st, the entombed city of Vindagnyr becomes open for exploration. Travelers can choose to look for clues or try to scavenge the city for ancient materials or tools. Recording boxes all around the city tell stories of Vindagnyr's greener past, and of the days when winter suddenly arrived. This is the cruelty of Celestia that Forneus wished you to see.
For all questions regarding May's mingle and events, please head over to our OOC post.

The snow would have covered up things outside but inside, you'd think there would be some prints or something still... Maybe there were at some point.

[ He looked thoughtful. ]
Then it is likely that whoever came here hadn't recently been through the area if there are no signs. Or ... they are the type of "individual" that could walk into a place without leaving signs they were there.
Though, I suppose thinking about this might be moot in the end.

(It could definitely be someone who could cover their tracks. People can get pretty creative with their Visions.)
But you're right. Instead of looking for someone who's probably no longer here, we should focus on what's in front of us first. We can also about our mysterious other visitor later.

[ There was a pause as he considered their surroundings, and then: ]
What are some other thoughts you have on 'what's in front of us'?
no subject
(Little does he know, the answer is a combination of both.)
Considering this is all supposed to show us "Celestia's cruelty," I'm guessing this isn't natural. Probably some sort of divine retribution...
no subject
[ That's going to be fun to find out...either way, Ledah will agree with the thought. The fact that many people had died was painfully evident that not many had made it out unscathed.
At Claude's comment about "divine retribution", that was something he found himself in agreement with as well. But, a simple thread of curiosity struck him, expression unreadable. ]
Have you been witness to divine retribution before?
no subject
Maybe. (There's that hint of uncertainty in his voice,) To be honest, I'm not exactly sure because I don't really believe in that sort of thing.
But if you believe the stories, I guess you could say that's what it was. Either way, I was lucky to just be on the right side at the time.
no subject
The fact that there were those who did not believe in such things did not surprise him. ]
I can believe that you were.
[ ... ]
Clearly there are those who can't say the same.
no subject
(While a nonbeliever like him was able to come out alive and on the right side after Garreg Mach was attacked. It doesn't seem fair (but then again, the world is rarely fair in his experience).)
It isn't right.
no subject
...No, it isn't.
Though the world is unfair, this wasn't necessary, and could easily have been avoided. The fact that it wasn't, speaks to the true nature of the gods involved in this.
[ An emotion that felt almost foreign due to its intensity gripped him every single time he thought about how Celestia treated the people here like this. It burned in his throat, almost. Honestly, he's been good at keeping it in check for now, but it's been kind of harder without the full power of his Diviner in play.
He'll turn away from Claude. ]
Let's finish our business in this place as soon as possible. I can only imagine if we are here too long it would not do well for any of us.
