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.

You're not cold?

[beatnest]

[ sept please im dying. ]

Huh? Well, yeah but what's that got to do with dead people?

[stellafortunamods]

[ that will probably be his constant reaction to byakuya tbh ]

Can't have you also be a dead person, can I?

[ ???????? ]

It's generally a waste of stuff to have a lot of people suddenly be dead.

[beatnest]

[ blink, blink bliiink.

processing this...concern(?). that's how he's going to take it ultimately. ]

Oh. You don't need to worry about me dying like that, that'd be lame even for me. I wouldn't mind dying for you though, if I didn't have other people who'd get mad at me for it.

[stellafortunamods]

Like, try not to die? I have to revive you if you do.

[ ????????????????????????????????? ]

[beatnest]

Huh? You can do that?

[ why did you tell him this, this is dangerous information. ]

[stellafortunamods]

I can. But it's kind of a hassle, so try not to die.

[ SPIDER PLEASE DONT ]

[beatnest]

Hmmn...well if it will make things harder for you, okay. [ This is seriously his only qualm with dying if revival is a thing which surely says a lot about his mental state. ]

What about things that would make your life easier?

[stellafortunamods]

If you get along with the rest of the travelers, that would be nice.

[ He's going to try and push Byakuya to do more normal things, at least... ]

Do stuff with them. Our mission is a cooperative effort, after all.

[beatnest]

[ Pout. ]

Huh? I already fight with them, and I'm not going to try to eat any of them. I am getting hungry though...

[ #firstworldspider problems? ]

And I'm weird even if some of them don't seem to mind.

[stellafortunamods]

Dyou think you could change, though? There's always a future that you can improve on?

[ first world spider problems indeed... ]
