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.

As he spoke, there's a slight inflection to his voice rather than the usual flat tone. To those who may not know him, it kind of just sounded like he was slightly annoyed, if anything. ]
You already know who and what I am.
Though I have accepted your mission, the fact remains that you are my benefactor. My life had expired when I took a deadly hit meant for my friend, Ein, but you are the one who raised it. Even if it was a means to an end, I am in your debt. And even though it will be cleared once I have completed this mission, I would be ungrateful if I allowed you to sacrifice your life without saying something against it.
I have no doubt we have strong-willed people among us who could find another way other than the plan you have outlined. But even so, when this ends I want you to accompany me to my world, meet Ein, and spend some time there. That is my request.
[ He decided that in the end he didn't care what happened to the gods who were involved in the decimation of this town in that he would be fine with those ones being destroyed. But he would never be fine with Forneus destroying himself. ]

I am touched you would go this far for me, even though I don't think I've done more than simply offer you payment for your services.
[ But maybe, he's had a change of heart. ]
I can't promise I will endure in the form you see now, but I will try to leave some part of myself behind so I can fulfil your request.

I will remember what you have said today.
[ He'll make it a point to say as much; he had a feeling Forneus wasn't the type to let go of his promises easily, but he felt it necessary to get the point across.
Though, ultimately, it's made him less tense. It was something for now, at least; he'll see what the future will bring them. ]

[ A small laugh. Forneus seems amused at his own comment. ]
Enduring, huh... you know, I'm not from Teyvat. People like me, of my race - we cannot be killed unless we consent to it. I had to bend some laws to get myself erased, and I suppose I'll have to bend some more to counteract that.
