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.

[ Seeing the determination on Rean's face made the Grim Angel's expression clear a bit; though it was one where someone could never truly consider it to soften easily, there was some stiffness that seemed to fall. He had wondered how his words might reach Rean, who had a heart filled with compassion, much more than he could ever dare to claim. Perhaps what he felt was...relief.

He had never been good at emotional matters, but being able to help someone face forward again was a nice feeling.

So, he'll just end up nodding when the other stated that he would be off to speak to Forneus. ]

As always, it's good to come to him for questions. I also believe you will find the answers you're looking for.

[ Naturally. There's a small pause, as he considered something. He remembered, when he first came to fight here with the others, when he had no true trust in anyone. That it was only under obligation he thought that they were all allies. That someday those here may become far too ruled by their emotions to carry out their duty, and to truly trust in all of them was folly. Maybe, however, he had just been running away from the pain of his own mistakes by pretending he had no regrets being able to form connections.

Slowly, but surely, Jun and Rean...they were showing the error of his ways. ]

If you ever feel lost again, feel free to seek out my company...or any other one of your allies. This place has, without question, become a place that has and will weigh heavily on our minds for many reasons. Though, I do believe you seem properly ready to take on the mission once more.
