Domains

With the fall of the ancient lost civilization, the once prosperous and magnificent Sommernachtgarten was also buried underground, leaving only it's ancient trees and stones to remember it's past glory.

After a period of time, the people of the continent lost track of the past. They attempt to explore downwards, searching for the things that they had forgotten. On the other side of the ancient tree's hollow, the secrets of yesterday have become today's treasures.

The once will-guiding wild dreams and disappointments of the humans gather here. However, the bigger the ego, the harder the fall; hence they dwell here, licking their wounds.

There is a secret ritual that can conceal one gate out of eight meant to seal evil, in order to cut off its escape. This ritual was performed here long ago, sealing demons within this labyrinth. Rumor has it that the Method to fit Pillars with Zhou Formula presently seals an evil serpent.

Mt. Aozang is a place of secret wonders. What at first merely seems like beautiful scenery in fact conceals a stone cave that connects to the heavens and breathes out clouds. Nonetheless, this is not how the saying "where the clouds emerge" was derived.

This city entombed in snow once had a proud, romantic name to call its own, just as the mountain itself was once lush and verdant in the ancient past. But after the nail that froze the skies over descended upon this mountain, the festive site where priests ascended to face the heavens can no longer hear its voice, nor will those priests ever return again.

The Cecilia flowers that only grow on high cliffs once bloomed in the greenhouses here. The ancient civilization that once enjoyed the scent of the Cecilia was lost, and so too was the sea of white flowers.

The operation of the Lianshan Formula created endless thunderstorms within the bowels of the mountain. It is said that the rumbling sounds of thunder that one hears outside the domain's gates call out to curious souls.

It is said that in ancient times, people would venture into the valley to seek out the ancient tree on the altar. They would whisper their secrets into the tree hollow, relieving themselves of the burden of keeping the secrets to themselves. The Forsaken Rift is filled with such long-forgotten secrets.

Once, people who sought the path of the adepti had to pass the trials of heaven and earth. Taishan Mansion served as the trial of "earth". Now that the adepti have long departed from this realm, Taishan Mansion has also turned into a common treasure trove.

This ruin used to be a temple devoted to the benevolent Falcon of the West. The Temple of the Falcon has watched over Windrise for thousands of years. Perhaps the winds of the past still linger within its halls.

This was once a temple devoted to the Wolf of the North. Now, the priests are gone, and the temple has been seized by monsters. However, they say that the spirit of the Wolf still watches over the endless fields of Mondstadt from someplace else.

Both the prideful eagles and noble souls favor transcendent heights apart from the secular world. In days past, those who despised mortal squabbles as the eagles do could find peace of mind in this place.

Many of those who come here now do so solely to search for nearby treasure. Just as crowds naturally leave a theater after the curtain falls, this once thriving colony has now been reduced to all but empty remains.

Though it may seem like a clear pond, the amount of treasures hidden below is enough to drive a person mad. Unfortunately, few who can decipher its secrets remain.

Although Treasure Hoarders have long heard of treasures hidden here, they have yet to discover its location. In this world, the more one clings to delusions, the more quickly they slip through one's fingers. Only when the heart's desires are finally cast aside can the narrow path to peace be found.

Rumor has it that people who've ascended to Celestia have also witnessed the same helix-shaped divine ladder that can be seen within Visions. Venturing out into the universe and down into the abyss are the same in that both are braving the dark unknown.
