Intro
This is mostly just me posting the contents of the Song of the Welkin Moon event so I have it in a handy spot.
Content
The trinity of moon goddesses, who once steered the primordial celestial sphere and wove love and passion into the very heart of the world, have long since faded into the shadows of time. Yet, those who follow the tides still sing and pray, for a new moon is set to rise…
When the “Eternal Moon” fell, the heavens and earth were thrown into chaos. When the “Iridescent Moon” shattered, the crimson shadow sank into the abyssal sea. When the “Frost Moon” ceased to turn, nations faltered and fell into ruin. The world, no longer sheltered by “Eternity,” marches toward its final breath. Yet, from the ashes, the “New Moon” rises, its ascent spinning the wheel of fate anew.
The Frostmoon Scions of Hiisi Island pray to the moonlight in their hearts, sacred and unsullied. People of the moonlit world, please await the turning of the moon, for it will bring new revelations…
Factions
The wheel of fate points in eleven directions.
Inner three
Fatui
The “Palestar Edict,” that highest of commands, has gone out. With it, the Fatui Harbingers have been summoned back to Snezhnaya and dispatched to Nod-Krai. The people stare and wonder: for what purpose does this army, bearing the banner of the Pale Star, come to their city? Or perhaps the question should be, “For whom?”
Frostmoon Scions
The descendants of the legendary golden realm, who chose to find new homes among the mountains and forests after abandoning their ancient civilizaion. The only thing they never forsook was their faith in the “Moon Goddess.” However, with the arrival of the Fatui, it appears that their tranquil lives are about to fade into the realm of yesterday…
Lightkeepers
The ancient organization that has long defended Nod-Krai’s freedom and peace against the ceaseless incursions and Wild Hunt attacks launched by the Abyss, now severely weakened from battles past. In the face of new threats, none can say for sure if the new generation of Ratniki will remain able to carry out their mission…
Outer eight
Hexenzirkel
Located at the “edge” of the world, Nod-Krai has always been the stage where conflicts and dramas unfold, one after another — how could the Hexenzirkel possibly miss out on this golden opportunity?
The Wild Hunt
The armies of the Abyss sweep across the wilderness and canyons like a storm, and if you venture close enough, you may even hear their eerie whispers. These lost, soulless monsters appear to be silently searching for something…
Knights of Favonius
A small group of elite knights from the Mondstadt expeditionary force has followed their Grand Master across Snezhnaya, arriving in Nod-Krai. It is said that they have come on a crucial mission…
Voynich Guild
The merchants of Nasha Town formed a commerce guild to maintain basic order. However, how could the outlaws that prowl between the islands be controlled by something as simple as mere rules? It seems that the honor fear into their hearts must go to the boss lady of the “Curatorium of Secrets”…
Jillian
I’m kind of expecting the Voynich Guild to have something to do with alchemy, since the only thing that name could be referencing (afaik) is the Voynich Manuscript.
Treasure Hoarders
The Treasure Hoarders have since spread throughout the rest of Teyvat, but their origin in Nod-Krai remains a little-known fact. The “great treasure” left behind by Reed Miller, the legendary thief who yearned to create “a world without boundaries,” is said to be buried somewhere here…
Snowland Fae
The fae who once followed the first Cryo Archon, the Belyi Tsar, ruling the Northlands in their entirety. Though now shorn of their former glory, they still influence the nation in their own ways. One can only guess what path they will take as calamity draws ever closer…
Adventurers’ Guild
Ad astra abyssosque! The Guild’s strong presence in an adventurer’s paradise like Nod-Krai is only natural. A certain “important figure” from the Guild’s headquarters is preparing to welcome you as a sign of respect…
Clink-Clank Krumkake Craftshop
It began as a small workshop that a certain prodigy used to research the “World’s Best Krumkake Machine.” But over time, after the creation of many intricate inventions, it gained a new identity as a famous machine workshop. Be sure to mind your manners when begging that genius for a favor, though, or whatever component she gives you might be liable to cough out a nasty krumkake at any time!
