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.

[He has, in fact, jumped from larger heights in his escapades. Somewhere, some offbrand version of YouTube probably has compilations of him doing such things.

Ah, she's one of Tsukuyomi's classmates, isn't she? That makes the decision to grab her hand easy, on top of the benefit of collecting more information.]

You're Tsukuyomi's classmate at UA, right? It's nice to see a friendly face here. [A broad smile, and some brushing of snow off.] That's even better news, too. I can't say I'm enjoying the feeling in my wings currently. [Forneous...?] I may have a mutant-type quirk, but it's not infallible. You think this Forneous might have an explanation for what happened?

[ he recognizes her?! pro hero hawks recognizes her?! hold just one second while she screams internally





okay we gucci moving on ]

Yeah! Uraraka Ochako, or Uravity. Welcome to Teyvat! [ she laughs a little. ] I know that's true and all, but I guess I was thinking it would be like how Ai- ah, Eraserhead's quirk works, but I guess not.

If anyone would know, though, it's Forneus for sure. He's the one who brought us here, you know?

Nice to meet you, Uravity. I look forward to working with you. [Never too early to get some networking in, and he really needs it.] I haven’t worked with Eraserhead before, but I’ve heard of him. This could be some kind of variant on his quirk? Hard to say without others to compare to— my quirk isn’t only my wings.

[Maybe he’ll elaborate, maybe not. There’s only a handful of people who know the full extent of Hawks’ quirk and he isn’t quite ready to drop that advantage, useless as it is right now.]
