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.

Well, I don't know how it is in your world... But believe me, this type of corruption curse is bad for any species.

[If Durin's fate and Duvalin's plight wasn't obvious enough. The beings he saw during the Great Twilight too... it's hard to forget.

With her getting up, he moves to push himself to his feet as well. He stands nearby, ready to catch her if needed.]

Mm, you got pretty beat up. I healed what I could, but you should take it easy and rest up at least through today.

Sounds like you're talking from experience.

[But she doesn't say more beyond that unless he seems comfortable talking about it, wincing with a sigh as she forces herself to start moving. Being mortal sucks, she would've healed from this damage normally by now!]

But thank you for the help. I think I'll just lay around at camp for a day or so, I can't really do much like this.

[And she's aware enough that pushing herself = a bad idea.]
