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.

[ LOOK ITS HARD TO RATIONALIZE IT TO PEOPLE WHO DONT LIVE FOUR-DIMENSIONALLY ]
It's very complex and I don't really know how to convey it in a manner that's digestible to people who live in three dimensions. Sorry.

Nah, it's fine... I kinda get it? I don't know a lot about science-y things, but I think I get it.
[Maybe.]
I guess it's more like... Harder for me to understand how you perceive things? But I get trying to explain that would be like me trying to explain how I can do certain things humans can't.
[It's hard to put into words if the other never, and could never, experience something like that themselves.]

I've made people freak out with my... eating habits, among other things. So you won't have to worry about me not trusting you on this.
