Heyya~~
It's Moon.
I...
I have NO IDEA what's gonna happen in this quest
omg
like
aside from "it's a dain quest" and the fact that I saw the animated short
I didn't see the trailer
and
gosh
I know
nothing
I'm
SO HAPPY
OKAY
LET'S START BEFORE SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS!!!
Sumeru..?
back to sumeru... uh, huh...
well, we know that Khaenri'ah is in sumeru
is that why..?
or does dain HATE fontaine
fonDAINe
oh, also, I'll unlock this, then
also
wow
her constellation's col
dunno hwo I've not seen it 'til now lol
let's begin~!
ah, sumeru city~
I came here yesterday, actually!
for a date with Zephyr~
that's right, Zephyr.
I know you're reading this.
..though, what if I read this back later?
uh
hi MOON?
and
hi
anyone else??
idk
why? because they wrote our names all over it?
ARCHON QUEST SODIFJWIOEJ
then...
why're we the only ones who can do it??
THE SERIAL DISAPPEARANCES OF YOUNG WOMEN!?!?
..what
AAHHH
I see~
also "past few years" mhmm..
genshin's been going on a while!
WHAT
why vimara village
I love that place
why them
HIS... okay well that narrows it down somewhat
ooh~! kaykay. sounds fun~!
bedtime story~
who's gonna be reading it to us..?
mhmm..
yyep...
don't worry~!
dang.. whatt....
wow okay
let us hire detective shikanoin heizou..!
yeah!!!
were they...
erased by irminsul..?
dang...
mhm..?
okay
this
is interesting.
this person was definitely erased by irminsul
yet the effects of them remain in the village
so much so that they were even able to file a missing persons report
that's so cool!
and ALSO means...
nahida could learn of the greater lord anytime, now
mhm~!
oh my gosh it's kaveh
kaveh
cuz he's missing
mhm
(well kaveh is LATE twenties... but still)
omgwait
I nearly forgot
to have NAHIDA in the party
well, I'd love to run my clorinde team
unfortunately, I can't, due to lack of clorinde.
so..!
this team actually sucks since my nahida isn't even lvl80, let alone 90
AH!!!
I REMEMBER YOU!!
I REMEMBER YOU!!
from the aranara quest!
ararycan?
yayy~!
"I don't know him"
awwh
aww
the village, then, must be his family
AWW WOAHH
this guy
sounds so cool
okay
either
some terrible fate has befallen him
or
he's turned out to be evil
nope lol
don't worry, gramps!
it's IRMINSUL's fault...
that must be why we're in sumeru
I THINK IRMINSUL.
maybe he was..
a nameless...
..from the astral express..!
YEAH
SEE
IRMINSUL
oh
or that, I guess
YEAH
but now that you've said it, I don't think it's so
yes!! hello, pretty lady!
(though, not as pretty as MY lady~)
well.. uh...
I'm the last line of defense! after me, they WILL cancel it...
absolutely, ma'am!!
ooh~?
it looks nice-!
memories = life! we'll find him

mhmm...

OR...

mhm~!
yep! they specifically requested us, actually-!
I'd still like to check out irminsul while we have the chance
!?!?
TELL ME
WHO IS THE SINNER DAINSEIF
TELL ME
WHY ARE WE STILL IN SUMERU, DAINSLEIF
TELL ME
well. how could he have betrayed us if he didn't even know what side we were on?
and how could we have picked a side, without knowing what the sides are?
FELLOW sinners...
okay
so
our "sinner" is most likely kaenri'ahn
I mean
they could be from a different nation they betrayed
but that'd be weird, right?
OH
HIM
WE
WE'VE HEARD OF HIM
YEAH
FROM SKIRK
BROTHER???
b
BROTHER???
BY BLOOD???
OMG
WHAT
THIS STORY JUST GOT A WHOLE LOT MORE INTERESTING

so
WHAT
skirk's master is also a sinner from kaenri'ah
as were the people she mentioned
This is the first time we're hearing about "the wise," hroptatyr, and "racher of solnari," rerir
though
that's
wow
woah.
w
wow.
holy heck
DAINSLEIF REAL CHARACTER MOTIVE OMG
FINALLY
HI DAINSLEIF
"skirk? who's skirk."
also wait
so rhinedottir betrayed him too? or was she just part of a group, and they betrayed the nation

AOSFKOPAWK
OKAY

"dainsleif's brother made the prophecy"

WAIT
IS
ARE YOU

are
is this
eide

WAIT
I'VE CRACKED THE CODE
THIS IS CHLOTAR
YEAH

OKAY BUT
can we
just
applaud me
for a second
for figuring that out?
I feel so smart...
NOOO I'M SO SORRY ATOSSA
man.
can'tbelieve she gets turned into mushroom fertilizer...
:(
chlotar!!!

AA
chlotar! we know!!
oh..?!
caribert...
there's no way
right
I'm PRETTY SURE it's clothar

I AM ON A ROLL TODAY
ARE YOU OKAY????
caribert
I've
seen you go through
so much pain before
don't make it happen again..!
awwh...
ooh..!
so
caribert... WANTS
to talk to US
interesting...
huh...
noo...
hmmm...
within...
ah...
I see.
I see...
that
is
beyond scary
I mean
leyline disorders
are why dragonspine turned from a lush mountaintop into a cold winderness
they're why the once lush sumeru desert is now a rainforest
and they're why tsurumi island is stuck in a TIME LOOP
so uh
being able to
control them...
I mean, isn't that just playing god?
woaahhh..!
ahh...
and.. you'll cease to exist..?
mhmm...
he seems so sad :(
caribert
just like in 3.5
I wanna give you a hug
you don't deserve this
dUDE
I FEEL SO BAD FOR YOU
