October OOC Post
Greetings, Travelers, and welcome to Stella Fortuna!
State of the World

As of this month, Stella Fortuna has entered Endgame, with the plot concluding in December. We have come a long way since our opening in January, and we would like to say a big thank you to everyone who has stuck with us on this journey.

The Travelers' reputation of solving crises is precisely why the Miko of the Grand Narukami Shrine has asked for your assistance. She is the one granting you the passes that will allow you to roam throughout Inazuma unquestioned. Forneus, known to her (and the rest of Inazuma) as Charon, informs you that the Yashiro Commission would act as your point of contact for more worldly affairs.

Periodic Reminders

AC requirements are halved from now onwards. Meaning you will only need to submit one thread of 5+ comments from your character, freeing up more threads for bonus regains should you wish to get them.

Stella Fortuna's last chapter will be in December 2021. The community will remain open as a sandbox for players to use, whether to thread out further adventures in Teyvat or perhaps visit each other's worlds.

The Vision Hunt

The Travelers are escorted to the Yashiro Commission after leaving Ritou. The Yashiro Commission manage festivals and other civil affairs in Inazuma, and thus its members are most in tune with the well-being of Inazuma's people. After the Electro Archon decreed her Vision Hunt, they were also the first to notice the insidious side effects of this decree. It is for this reason that Kamisato Ayaka seeks your aid - the lady of the house speaks behind a screen panel, wishing you to visit those who have lost their Visions and try to assist them.

Travelers will find Kurosawa Kyounosuke living on the outskirts of Inazuma City. The residents are accusing him of withholding provisions distributed by the government, but he claims to have no knowledge of the matter. Investigating the area around his home would reveal several purchase receipts and IOUs from the local grocery store... and the owner tells you Kyounosuke has been purchasing provisions for his neighbours out of his own pocket. Now that losing his Vision has somehow made him forget about that, his beneficiaries now turn on him in resentment. How would you resolve this situation and pacify the people?

Tejima living in Kondo Village has a different predicament. He thinks of leaving the Village, even though everyone pleads for him to stay, because he has forgotten the reason he settled here. You will have to search for his journal in the village, then explain to him that he had been waiting here for someone. The loss of his Vision has robbed him of all memory relating to the woman he was waiting for. It seems this side effect was not foreseen by any of the villagers either.

Perhaps the most tragic is Domon, owner of a dojo in Inazuma City who trains his disciples in the Meikyo Shisui art. Passing by his dojo would let you hear his panicked ravings. His disciples believe him to be possessed, but your Vision glows and Forneus allows you to peer at what his mind sees. He hallucinates his past sparring partners spitting on him for ruining their dreams. You have to somehow convince him that all is not lost, a difficult task seeing that he has lost his Vision... and thus his ambition.

Now that you have witnessed the personal tragedies that befall those who have lost their Visions, it brings to mind the question of why the Raiden Shogun still enacts the Decree. Most of the locals don't see anything wrong with it, either - in fact, those jealous of Vision Users' power might even see it as deserved. Certainly, there must be people in Inazuma who oppose the decree... perhaps to the degree of smuggling away Vision Users, or resisting the Shogunate. But where?

A Request From Kazari

As you pass the broken shrine outside Kondo Village, a Shrine Maiden approaches you. She asks for your aid in cleaning Inazuma's Sacred Sakura using a special rite. The Ritual has not been performed for years, resulting in the Sakura growing ill from all the evils it has absorbed. The Sacred Sakura is found on Mount Yogou, while its smaller brethren reside in Kondo Village, Araumi, Chinju Forest, and in the sea beside the Kamisato Estate. Each offshoot of the Sakura must be purified by aligning the flow of Electro energy through the tree, then defeating the condensed filth that pours forth from the tree. Once all that is done, the central tree must also be purified likewise, or the miasmic tumour entangled in its roots will one day burst and wreck havoc all over Inazuma.

Characters who complete this request will receive a Letter from Kazari in which she thanks the Traveler and imparts to them a small Omamori charm. It appears to be quite ordinary, but perhaps it has some latent powers. She will also explain to them her origins as the memories of the late Kitsune Saiguu, who perished in the war against the Abyss after Khaenri'ah's fall. Now that she is able to fulfil her duties of protecting the Sakura, she will fade away from this world.
