Story and Archon Quest Highlights
The narrative centers on the Moon-Prayer Night Festival in Nod-Krai during the peak of kuuvahki (a lunar phenomenon). Travelers join festivities in Nasha Town, complete with stalls, lanterns, and a special stamp book featuring Dodoco and Simulanka origami. However, the plot thickens with Trilunar Syzygy, causing border instabilities that summon phantoms, Abyssal tricks, and even a mysterious spacecraft sighting.
Key lore drops include:
- Hexenzirkel heavyweights like Alice stabilizing world borders and delivering Rhinedottir's (Gold's) dying message via a prophetic book.
- Nicole ("N") arrives with telepathic secrets tied to Fontaine's prophecy.
- Durin confronts his origins, fusing Simulanka fairy tale lore with Abyssal power.
- Teases for Columbina, Barbatos (Venti) facing threats to Mondstadt, and Khaenri'ah remnants.
A new Archon Quest explores these threads, offering 500 Primogems for completion by a specified deadline. Additionally, Draco Rubedo Chapter: Act I – The Magic Known as Storytelling introduces unique gameplay like revisiting spaces and hunting hidden eggs for materials and rewards.
