June OOC Post
Greetings, Travelers, and welcome to Stella Fortuna!
State of the World
After spending a month on Death Mountain and purifying Durin's corpse, it's finally time to leave the winter behind and head southwest. The start of ingame November will bring our characters on a two-week long journey to Liyue, the Harbour of Stone and Contracts.
Periodic Reminders
Applications are permanently open! Bring your friends! +1s are accepted as well! You need to be in the game for at least one month before you can +1 a friend. You can also get invited by the mod team!
Submit your AC! If you are on hiatus, you still need to check in.
We have new players and characters! Feel free to say hi to Jinx and Hawks!
The hiatus mechanic has been updated! The character can either be put on autopilot, or be put into soul maintenance. This involves Forneus taking them into his office and placing them into stasis while he stabilizes their selves from periodic disturbances.
The Plan So Far
Forneus will gather the travelers for a short briefing at the start of November, before they begin their journey to Liyue. He will inform them that he has been asked by the Archon of Liyue to orchestrate a trial for the nation, to test if they are truly ready to live without him. To do that, the travelers will be disguised as outside agents and asked to cause chaos in the streets of varying severity. The Cryo Archon has lent her foreign military forces to the effort, and the travelers will meet their Fatui colleagues once they arrive. Forneus will give an enchantment that will allow everyone to don or shed their disguise at will, letting them explore Liyue as their own selves if they so wish to.
But to do that, you have to get there first. And unfortunately, it's a two-week hike.
The Travelers will descend from the north side of Dragonspine, passing by Dawn Winery and heading through Stone Gate into Dihua Marsh. After that, they will enter the Guili Plains, an area full of historic ruins of a civilization that once was. Unlike Vindagnyr, it was not annihilated; its people merely moved. Exploring around the ruins will reveal signs of a sorrowful tale; of a land ravaged by war.
After two weeks of walking, you'll arrive at Liyue Harbour, where merchants flock and all ships dock. Try to get some nice rest - while the travelers will need to pitch tents on some nights, they'll be able to check into various roadside inns courtesy of Forneus' money, including the renowned Wangshu Inn!
So what happens now?
June will be a lighter period in the game for characters to bond with each other while traveling as a group, and later while exploring and trolling Liyue to the best of their ability. Forneus will not be available for the first two weeks as he is busy; instead Zhongli is tasked with answering questions in his place.
A reference of the scenery your character might see on the way can be found in this video here! Feel free to check out Liyue's music here as well.
We also have a retroactive poll on characters' IC decision on whether to tell the Adventurers' Guild about Vindagnyr or not. Telling the truth will lead to more NPCs entering Dragonspine Mountain and experiencing the same truth that the outlanders have come to conclusions about. Not telling them about Vindagnyr (aka answering 'there's nothing there') will instead divert the Guild's attention to other matters, such as investigating Abyss mages.
The poll will close on June 7th. Vote carefully!
