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.

[Rean's thankful that Jun's just kind of rolling with it, but he still feels bad. He'll have to figure out a way to make up for it down the line.

As far as Rean connecting the dots faster... well, when it doesn't have to do with his personal relationships, Rean's actually pretty adept at figuring people out. It's how he's so good as a group therapy dog, after all. But also, it's not like he hasn't talked fairly in-depth with Jun about his work (you know, as much as he can without hitting on Touchier Subjects) or taken a walk through his head.

Makes it a whole lot easier to get from point A to point B.]

Ah... you think so? [Oh. Well, those are good reasons, actually. Rean's not about to deny Jun his privacy.] ...Mm, fair enough.

I'm not sure I'm ready to go back to him just yet, but as soon as I've pulled myself together a bit more I'll be sure to ask for you.

[Work through your widower tears enough to play Blade with him. That'll do it. Also he'd prefer you'd be less good at connecting dots, but there's no helping that]

No need to rush yourself, I don't think it's a question that needs to be answered right away. [It was important, but there were many other things that took higher priority.]

...Thank you.
