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.

(HE PROBABLY WOULD if he wasn't actually a spirit in human form and more durable than the average human. Give him ten minutes, tops. Maybe even fifteen.)

Hah! (That gets a laugh from him so good joke,) If I did, I would have to change my name... Woodcutter Kuninaga? Or maybe Kintaro Kuninaga...?

(Look at these Japanese folklore specific references hes' making.

But Tsurumaru is old and dislikes hard work that isn't swinging his sword so. No collecting firewood for him. He'll just complain about his b a c k.)

[evilisnotatoy]

I appreciate your enthusiasm for the job, Woodcutter. How many bundles do you think you'll be able to gather by day's end?

[Surprise, Tsuru. Sooga might not be from a world where Japan exists, but he certainly is used to shenanigans.]

[cranelike]

I can't say! It'll just have to be a surprise!

(He makes no promises. He dislikes heavy and dirty work?)

[evilisnotatoy]

Five minimum then.

[His tone makes it really hard to tell if he's serious or just messing with Tsuru. Possibly both.]

1/2

(



Also can't tell if he's being teased or if this is serious.)

[cranelike]

(Well, if no one is going to try to clear it up, he'll just let this conversation... be what they choose to make of it. Neither is wrong or right. Especially if he doesn't agree.)

We'll see, we'll see.

I'm sure you would get more if you asked others to help, too.

(Because Tsuru is collecting none.)

[evilisnotatoy]

I mean to. At least one should be serious about helping, Woodcutter Kuninaga.

[Okay, he's definitely messing with you, Tsuru. And possibly judging a little, but hey, not his job to try and make any of the other Travelers do anything.]

[cranelike]

(You can judge him all you want because he knows he's beautiful and special and that's all that matters to him. No one else matters when you have SELF CONFIDENCE.)

And who should we give our wood to, masked friend?
