MAY MINGLE
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.

(Which leads him to his next point,)
Just this room. I haven't checked the back yet. But most of them seem to be out in the open instead of hidden around.
no subject
( like flinging a record to the future, a dying light saying 'we were here'. ...
time for the thief to do her thing, then. without waiting, jinx slips past claude to investigate further into the building. whatever debris awaits is gently upturned, but if nothing is found she puts it back. no point in desecrating things too much, after all. )

They probably didn't want to be forgotten. (Assuming they were the ones who left the records behind,) Unfortunately, it doesn't look like many people have made it up here beside us.
... Someone was definitely here before, though.
no subject
( still, in her search it doesn't seem like she's found anything. )
We can check another building.
no subject
(Because leaving to check another building means going out into the cold again. He's bundling up, pulling his scarf over his face,)
If we can find any of those flowers growing around, I want to grab some too.
(To look at and figure out if there's any special propreties to them. Or to show to Forneus or Zhongli to ask about.)
[we can end here ofc, i just wanted to get this out]
( not that she doesn't expect some to be out there, but like... not all of them. that's the key thing here. adjusting her own winter gear, she sighs. she's not much happier about the idea of leaving the old house herself. )
Right, I'll keep an eye out... let's go.
