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.

(If anyone was a believer, the city is enough to make most lose faith, he thinks.)
But you know... it's kind of hard to trust one god after seeing what another can do when they don't get their way. I'm not saying you'd do the same thing but none of this is really instilling faith in gods.

Do you have any alternative suggestions, then?

(He's kind of the least trustworthy person ever back home? Or well, maybe the second least trustworthy person after Edelgard slammed betray on everyone and caught them all off guard. Even he hadn't seen that coming...)
But you should get to know the people you're working with. Let them get to know you. It's easier to trust a friend than a god.
(... A beat. Did he really say that? Quickly, he adds,)
I guess.
(Still figuring out this friendshi thing, don't mind him.)

I will keep that in mind, then. It's rare that I get to talk to actual people one on one without hiding my identity, so it's still a new experience.
