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.

People once lived there. The broken buildings host damaged furniture and weathered streets. There are various cloth-covered mounds in a house here and there, accompanied by a sprig of blue flowers. Someone has laid these people to rest after they passed away.

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 highest point in the city is occupied by a temple built into a Domain. Within the Domain is a pale white tree, split in half by a strange object that has fallen through the Domain's ceiling. This temple was once a site for worship for Vindagnyr's people, and even in death they continue to pray for salvation. The priests have been frozen in ice, and the sheer cold emanating from the Skyfrost Nail makes it obvious that it is the cause of 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.

[ Of course Forneus knows that. He knows everything that has happened, and will happen... that is, without outsider intervention. ]

Because this is my house. Kind of? I copied these items from other worlds. They're pretty useful.

Yep- there's a reason they're everywhere back home.

( she's absolutely eyeing the fridge. does she feel like being a good kid and asking for snacks? or being a gremlin.............

... wait. no. this is still a god. probably should play it safe. )

So what all d'you have in the kitchen? And what do you even do in here?

I have some food, if you're hungry. Bread, fruit, the like.

[ It's definitely better than frozen rations, that's for sure. ]

I work here, though 'here' is a bit nebulous when it comes to a God of Time, like me. My main job is to make sure time flows properly and all that jazz.

You got strawberries?

( because she will steal a god's entire stock of strawberries. but like... in a polite, good kid way.

still, that is kind of interesting... if he makes sure things flow properly, are they anomalies? or was this supposed to happen? jinx only hums in acknowledgement of what he says, though, still slowly wandering around and inspecting things like a cat might. )

Yeah, I've got some.

[ Jinx will be able to see that the interior of his office is very modern. Everything is neatly arranged; an artificial copy of a living room instead of one that's actually lived in.

He walks over to the wall fridge and pulls out a generic-looking box of chilled strawberries. ]

Here you go.

( yeeeees strawberry get, this pleases the jinx. in fact, she actually smiles like a normal kid would as she takes the box! not that she'll admit it. she's tough and mature thank you. )

Thanks! ... You're not getting anything back, though.

[ Smiles are good. There's not enough of it around here. ]

Eh, that's fine. Consider it kinda like payment for you being here, anyway.

[ He tries to treat everyone nicely, considering that he asked them to come here. ]
