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.

Change is good. It's how we grow.

(He says it simply, even if he knows there's more to it than that,)

Imagine a world where your success isn't determined by birth. What if there was a world where everyone could be anything? A commoner could become a holy knight or even their captain. A merchant can join a nation's council. If a leader is poor at their job, someone better could take it. What if libraries could be filled with all of the books in the world instead of just the ones that are allowed?

(Hello, welcome to Claude's world.)

Imagine a world that could grow and be anything instead of small and stuck behind a bunch of walls?

(He might be lighting up the more he speaks; it's clearly something he's very passionate about.)

[Jun listens to Claude describe his dream. It's not hard for him in the least to imagine, considering it's more-or-less what most countries on Earth were like these days. Claude's world must be further behind in progress]

...Haha, sounds like you're the one who should visit my world instead.

[With ideals like that, he's sure Claude would love Earth. But he doesn't mean it too seriously, he can understand that Claude wants to return to his home to fix things. And with dreamers like Claude pushing forward, maybe it could catch up to Earth one day]

A world like this is nice to live in. [Earth had problems, for sure, but it was a good world] I pray you're able to cause the change that allows Fodlan to be like that too.

You're not the first person to invite me to see where they're from.

(To see where they're from. It's definitely... an experience to be invited to things when most people would leave him out.)

I appreciate it. (He might not be a believer but he'll never throw away someone's good wishes.) I might have to take care of other things first but I promise, I'll make it happen.

Haha, well you seem like you'd be a good guest! If you ever find yourself in Morimiya, Japan- I got a couch you can crash on!

[Sure he doesn't know how long he'll be stationed there, but it's the thought that counts!!]
