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.

For all questions regarding May's mingle and events, please head over to our OOC post.

[ Forneus seems like he's about to say something, but closes his mouth. He waves a hand before answering ]

Even if I go against Celestia, I am still counted as a being aligned with them simply by being a god. Abyss agents would never trust me with that information.

[Shirou's eyes narrow but he seems to come to a decision, relaxing back into his calm he'd displayed when he first walked in.]

Then it will be up to the rest of us to find that other reason. That's fine. I'll make sure to keep you updated on what we find.

[He did it for Rose. When Shirou dedicates himself to something, he gives it his all.]

[ :) ]

Thank you. [ And he means it! ] If you have any difficulties, feel free to come back and I'll see what I can do.

[justicefang]

[He nods.] I assume if you can tell me anything else later, we can reach each other.

[Shirou heads for the door but pauses at it, looking back.] Other wise, that’s all I came to talk about.

[It’s what he wants to focus on. Everyone else will zero in on the city. But he has always had to look beyond the immediate.]

[stellafortunamods]

Alright. I'll see you around then.

[ Which mostly involves Shirou coming to meet him, because he's intent on staying in his office. ]

[justicefang]

Until next time.

[He nods once and steps through the door. He'll allow himself a moment of relief when he's back in camp. For so many things.]
