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.

Then I'll keep an eye out. It's not good to be alone like this.

[For both of their benefits, really. Something like what they saw... It's a lot to take in. Not even she's entirely unaffected.

So with her deciding that, she steps a bit closer and flicks a small flame into the campfire, bolstering it.]

Besides, having someone with a Pyro Vision around right now won't hurt.

[...Oh, hey, more fire. Yeah, that's not a bad idea at all. Rean was going to run out of brush in his immediate vicinity sooner rather than later.]

...Ha, that's for sure. I'm kind of useless up here myself. [With a twitch of something that almost might be considered a tired half-smile, he pulls out his own Cryo Vision to hold it up before tucking it back away.]

...I can drag another log over here for you to use as a seat, if you'd like. There's a couple just back there.

[He motions over his shoulder, and in fact there are some logs a safe, visible distance away. No worrying about this idiot getting lost in the snow again.]

Least I can do for you keeping me company.
