    Summary

    The world burns.

    A second wave of Celestial Nails rains down upon Teyvat, striking down those who have betrayed the sacred sacraments of the heavens. The Seven’s rebellion is extinguished, and the Traveler goes down with them. Entire nations find themselves as collateral, and the few survivors turn towards unsavory allies in their desperation.

    A grieving twin carves what remains of the world apart in her despair, and rallies the desperate and depraved under a banner of vengeance, sworn to strike down the heavens themselves for their transgressions.

    Darkness clashes against the Light once more, and the ark crumbles beneath the pressure. As the world barrels towards its inevitable end, a lone wind spirit is forced to seek out its creator.

    It is only there, at the edge of time and space itself, where God and Shade meet once again. Together, mother and son weave a spell unlike any seen before, and rewind time itself.

    Five thousand years in the past, teal eyes open once again for the first time; the God of Wind born anew.

    But, what use is there, in a god of freedom bound by the shackles of fate?

    Summary

    Dvalin is not poisoned. The Anemo Archon fells Durin, and with his blessing, Mondstadt alone emerges from the cataclysm unbroken by the Abyss. But how? No scholar knows.

    500 years later, Xiao travels to Mondstadt to warn Barbatos of an Abyss Order plot—but there are questions, too, twisting in his heart. Among them: Why did you save me, that night in Dihua Marsh? Why haven’t you visited since then?

    And, because he knows all too well that power comes at a price: what did you pay to protect Mondstadt?

    (The God of Freedom has so few choices.)

    Summary

    “Aren’t you cold?” Jean asks dumbfounded.

     

    “Nope," Venti says cheerfully. “I’ve never been warmer, actually!” He laughs, bells on Sunday mornings. “I forgot how it feels to have this much power. Don’t tell Master Diluc, but this might be even better than wine.”

     

    Jean peers past him at the blizzard engulfing the city, drowning out even the angered roars of the monsters outside. “…What’s with the snow?”

     

    “Yeah. About that…”


    The Abyssal war at its most critical point, Barbatos is forced to gather more energy and therefore stops controlling the mild climate of Mondstadt. This leads to a multitude of events, including but not limited to: the first gathering of the Seven since the Cataclysm, a betting pool consisting of half of Liyue Harbour, Xiao's first and last time being an Archon and the invention of the saxophone.
