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.

[His reasoning makes sense, and honestly some time away from the mountain in general sounds like a good idea. But for now, she wants to keep looking before she calls it quits.

So she nods, hesitating for a moment before following it up with;]

If anyone gives you shit, I'll throw them off the mountain.

[She's kidding, she swears. And she knows Jun can look after himself, but the... thought is there? At least???]

[ ... 💧 ANA]

Really embracing that anime villain role, I see.

[He's joking, really. Still, it's nice to hear someone care about him. He's not sure he's worth it, especially considering her, uh, takes on religion. But...]

Thanks Ana. I'll be back later. Do you want me to get you anything from Mondstadt?

[✨✨✨]

It's my new calling in life, after all.

[Luckily Ana has learned that it's better to judge the individuals than the whole. Grandpa Zhongli being a good influence and all that.]

I'm all good. Though maybe see if you can get the guild to send up more winter gear? It doesn't seem like there's enough Pyro's here for everyone.

[There is a faint sound that sounds like a "heh" through the modulator. Yeah, you be that evil anime queen. Own it Ana]

Yeah, seems like we've lost a few... [Pyros, he means] I'll see what I can do.

Be safe, Ana.
