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.

[Okay, okay. He needs to compose himself. There is no use crying in front of a god.

Rean takes a deep breath and tries his best to sound mature and rational. Which doesn't really work, but hey, an attempt was made and therefore no one can criticize him.]

...Then all we can do is try to find another way, I guess. I can't imagine most of the others will be on board with this, either.

[At least, not the ones he's befriended!]

I... guess that's all I had for you. I'll be off to speak with the others now, if that's all right.

[Well, first he's going to go scream into something, probably, but Forneus doesn't need to know about that part.]

[stellafortunamods]

It's definitely fine.

[ As Forneus has said, he doesn't want to force people to do what they don't want. ]

Come back anytime if you wish to speak to me again. I appreciate what you are doing for me. Also, please get some rest.

[At least Forneus isn't asking him to keep secrets. That's one positive thing from this interaction, if nothing else.]

...I'll try my best.

[Although he has a feeling he'll have nothing but nightmares for the foreseeable future.

Still, with that, he's gone.]
