The culmination of my contributions to Tales of Luminaria Party 2023, where I took on the challenge of drawing one of its characters per day.
Completed on its 2nd Anniversary on November 4. The individual pieces can be found over on my art blog, meimei-artpile.
I will never forget Tales of Luminaria, nor will I ever forgive and stop being salty about how Bandai Namco mistreated this masterpiece-in-the-making brimming with so much potential.
Love you forever, Lumi~ 😭

Everything I could find on Vanessa Morax
Tumblr media
A member of Blaze whose strength is second only to Lucien’s. Her skills have earned her the respect of the younger members, but she struggles with decision-making and relies on others to determine how she should act, as if seeking someone to take the lead for her. Although she has a serious and formal demeanor, she is adorably thrown into a panic when caught off guard.

Video of Vanessa’s Mystic Artes (JP audio and text) Scroll down for some screenshots of descriptions of her Mystic Artes
JP Voice Collection
A Vanessa fan made a questionnaire discussing several aspects and details of Vanessa with other Vanessa fans. This thread is the results of the questionnaire (JP text) …I know this sounds like a lot, and it looks like a lot too, but if you’re a big Vanessa fan, I think you’ll find their discussion very interesting. They cover topics like, “Who do you think gave Vanessa her ribbon?” and “How old do you think the knight who raised Vanessa was?” and “Do you think ‘Vanessa’ is her real name, a name she came up with, or given to her by someone else?” Actually, I don’t think you have to be a Vanessa fan to see that there’s a lot of love, ideas, and thoughts for her here. You might find it interesting regardless.
A tweet putting different pieces of information together that supported the “Vanessa and Falk are siblings” theory, which was a popular theory on the JP side of the fandom. This is just one of many tweets from different fans in the JP fandom that I could actually find again…

You can usually find turnarounds of a character’s outfits on Twitter or Youtube, so I tried to focus on zooming in on details of a character’s outfits rather than capturing the whole outfit in one shot.

We all probably know this Hiroshima wannabe so I wont introduce it <3
AHEM AHEM
Please inform me if I had any mistakes!
Spoiler under cut!!!!!
Tumblr media
I just realised this had cubes.PURE cubes.Unlike...
Tumblr media
HER cubes.
Tumblr media
This is like 5000+ years old ATLEAST 5000 and was dropped after the 2nd who came had been "defeated" there are also constellations surrounding it
Tumblr media
This is like 500 years old,back when Khaenri'ah was destroyed
Tumblr media
This was the first time a civilization was destroyed by Celestia
Tumblr media
This is the most recent civilization that was destroyed by Celestia (that we know of)
Why not just nuke again?Why go to ALL this trouble?
We know that the cubes belong to the Sustainer of heavenly principals,she probably had a role in Khaenri'ah 's fall
In the comic "Prolouge:The songs of the wind" Lind and Vanessa stated that Celestia was seemingly closer.That takes place 2600 years ago.Celestia could've just like,yk nuked yk,like,why not???Why go trough so much trouble after 2100 years????You're already close why destroy it like this??
Wth happened also why cubes go emo did they get corrupted???In Mondstat we saw Dvalin's corruption big boy litteraly changed colors *kinda similiar to certain cubes hmmm* Venti as Barbatos,an Archon,fell into slumber (For about 500 years If I remember correctly) Only the prayers and cries of his people were the things that woke him up.After the situation had been dealt with,Barbatos would always return to the forest,and not be seen until another crisis strikes (Probably still recovering from Durin's poison)
In Liyue,Morax had to call the Yaksha's,only for them to all go insane and succumb to the abyss,except for Xiao,who still has to fight monsters restlessly,with karmic debt only Venti,an Archon can purify.
In Inazuma,Makoto fell in battle,Ei's friends also died.The Ancient Sakura tree,which appeared with Istaroth's help,collects the filth of the nation,yet there are still those ANOYING FUCKING ABYSS WOLFS THAT I FUCKING HATE I HOPE THEY ROT IN HELL ONESHOTS MY LVL 80 NAHIDA AND 70 LVL KOKOMI AS IF 3K HP PER HEAL IS NOTHING AAAAAAAAAAAA-,roaming around the nation.
In Sumeru Rukkhadevata spent all her power fighting forbidden knowledge,created Nahida,got also corrupted by forbidden knowledge,trapped her conciousness in Irminsul,waited for Nahida to erase her from Irminsul so she could carry Forbidden knowledge to the coffin with her.
After writing all this,I realize,Its people that are related with time and wind that clean after the corruption,all being related to Istaroth in some kind of way.Istaroth has always been the only shade to fight alongside humanity,stated in the book "Before sun and moon" While The sustainer destroys and leaves chaos in its wake,Istaroth is the only shade with mercy,helping clean up.
What happened holy shit this was long hello????Thanks for reading this far!!!

XiaoVen!Seelie
I was recently reminded that Nahida can "read minds" with her skill, and ran to where my game's Jeht is just peacefully vibing in the Eternal Oasis. While enjoying the scenery and music, got... I guess two separate ideas? No time to write a fic for either, but figured I'd share. Maaaaybe do a doodle.
But maybe it would inspire someone else to write a fic? Idk, I'm tired and probably misremembering lore so like, take it all with a grain of salt.
One idea was an AU in which Xiao is a Seelie instead of an illuminated beast/yaksha, and Seelie aren't hit with the curse. Since Seelie were messengers of Celestia, he was initially assigned to Morax (has the original red design). However given what an absolute menace Barbatos is, Morax requested Xiao to "serve" Barbatos to keep an eye on him (resulting in a shift to the teal design). A bit like a reassignment, but Xiao goes in knowing this isn't a punishment but is in fact a position of honor.
Prior to this, neither Xiao nor Venti had much interaction with each other. Xiao simply knew Venti as the god with the beautiful voice, and Venti knew Xiao as the Seelie with the beautiful face (well, more so than usual). As they work together, the two begin to bond. Xiao recognizes and respects Venti's way of caring for his "children," but worries that in time, Barbatos won't be able to defend himself or his "children." So Xiao helps create the Church of Favonias. He learns combat with the Knights, directly under the first Dandelion Knight herself, Vanessa. So if the day should come that Barbatos has lost so much faith and power he cannot defend Monstadt... Xiao will be next to him, helping protect both of their home.
Ooorrrrr...
Venti's wisp form is the cursed appearance he had as a Seelie, protection of Istaroth allowing him to be more a wisp from the Thousand Winds than the usual Seelie we see now. It was why he felt compelled to guide and save those "children" all those millenia ago. Once becoming the Anemo Archon, he's able to reclaim a "human" form, based on the human that taught him the beauty of humanity and music. It takes him a long time to learn how to walk without Cecelias blooming beneath his feet. Even then, if lost enough in song that year's Windblume may still appear.
When meeting Xiao, Venti finds himself being pulled by that ancient Seelie need to Guide - this is a lost soul that needs help finding his path. Over the years Xiao finds Venti visiting more and more, eager to learn more about this yaksha. With each visit, the two grow closer. Xiao notices he more frequently is subconsciously patrolling closer to Monstadt. Finds himself humming tunes that Venti thought he'd like.
In time, Xiao realizes that what had once been his Guide, is now his Home.

Genshin impact Sagau~!
Part 3&4
-
It was now night time and you sneakily followed Venti into Vanessa’s cell, you sat on the other side of Vanessa smiling shyly, you let them do the cannon dialogue while watching the guards incase something happens earlier than expected, you thankfully still had the extra six apples you didn’t eat in your pocket (think unlimited storage dimension), so you also handed her an apple when you heard Venti offering to be her friend, you continued watching over them until it was time for Venti to take the two of you away to wait… in that time you decided to try some stuff out with Venti, I mean you two were out in a field before sunrise and were alone anyway, “Hey Venti I’m going to try something okay?” You say, Venti nodded slowly, you backed up and concentrated on something, suddenly it payed off when beautiful pale purple wings appeared out of your back, “eek! It worked yes!!” You say happily, Venti just looked at you in confusion and awe, “h-how?!?!” He asked dumbfounded, “I think I should tell you something…” you said becoming nervous, “what is it..?” He asked while raising an eyebrow, “so how do I say this… I’m from a different universe i guess and I got transported into this one and randomly got powers?” You said slowly waiting for a reaction, Venti’s eyes widened after it all settled in… “so you’re an archon..?” He asked seriously, “I don’t think so- but I am definitely immortal, from what I know…” you replied waiting for another response, “ah- okay? I don’t know what to think of this but I guess I should also tell- or well show you something…” he said slowly still processing, suddenly he changes into his archon form, his wings looked pure white and oh so soft, you stared at them for a while before he spoke up, “y/n I’m the Anemo Archon… Barbatos…” he says slightly flushed at the way you looked at his wings like they were the most precious thing in the world, “what’s an archon? And what do you mean you’re one and the anemo one?” You asked making sure he thinks you have 0 knowledge of this world besides mainly him… “an archon is a god… which means I’m Barbatos the god of anemo, or I guess wind…” he replied softly, “oh! That makes sense then, thank you for explaining that Venti!” You reply kindly, ‘she’s not treating me differently… I’ll stay with her as long as possible!’ Venti thought smiling softly while still flustered, the sun starts rising and so you put your wings away, Venti seeing your wings disappear changes back into his non-archon form, you were great full that your corset and dress somehow were fine after the whole having wings appear and disappear, now you just had to wait for cannon to happen….
You were both in the stands of the arena, you knew what would happen but Venti didn’t… then it started, in a matter of two minutes Venti and Vanessa defeated the dragon, you were in awe, you summoned your own wings and flew down to Vanessa hugging her, she hugged you back while Venti dealt with the noble’s, people were happy, you were happy to see this actually happen… you forgot no one besides Venti and Vanessa truly knew you existed… “y/n… are you also an archon..?!” Vanessa asked suddenly, which in turn caused you to pause, “n-no I’m not… I’m just someone with wings…” you replied looking away slightly while flushing in embarrassment, “okay…” she replied.
And so that day was set in history as a story that would get told for generations… you stayed with Venti until he went back into slumber some years after Vanessa passed, you honestly missed her, she truly was a great friend, you made sure you weren’t put into any form of the story’s telling while Vanessa was alive… you had things you wanted to do until Venti was back…
-
You decided to start a journey after Venti fell into slumber, “I should go to Liyue and befriend Morax…” you mumbled settling on that, and so you went, sure you encountered hilichurls and slimes but they were easy to deal with as the slimes died to one slash and the hilichurls just left you alone fully.
“Finally! I’m here” you muttered happily, ‘wait am I able to sense Morax or?’ You thought, ‘no before anything else I need to get one of the waypoints so I can teleport here first’ you thought, and so you found the waypoint and added it to your list so you could teleport instead, ‘let’s try this!’ You thought before concentrating on finding Morax, ‘AHAH! There he is!’ You thought before running into the direction he was in, thankfully he was closeish, as you rounded a corner into a small patch of grass land you spotted him, and… Xiao, ‘okay two birds with one stone then, let’s befriend them both!’ You thought before running towards them both, Xiao spots you easily and draws out his weapon ready to attack, Morax just looks at you after seeing Xiao looking at your direction, Morax put his hand up to stop Xiao from attacking you as you reached them both, “hiya!” You say while looking up at them both, they just stared back for a minute, “Hello… do I know you mortal-” Xiao said after taking in your features, “you look like someone one of my old friends had been talking about…” Morax said while he looked confused, “ah I’m y/n! And now you know me sir, also who is your friend other sir?” You said, “he’s a bard over in Mondstadt who plays a lyre…” Morax replied, Xiao is just staring at you intently, “oh! I do know him” you replied calmly, Morax looked at you with a pleased smile adorning his lips, “ah so I assume you already know who I am?” He asked calmly while still smiling, “yeah and it’s lovely to meet you Morax… and Xiao” you said with a small bow and a bright smile, “ah, so you truly do know… it’s lovely to meet you as well… Y/n, the immortal…” he said smiling wider, “and don’t worry me and Xiao are the only two people besides Barbatos that knows your title…” he added, “w-wait, this is Lady Y/n?” Xiao said which made you giggle a bit, “well now that we’ve met, I would love to become friends with the both of you!” You say giddily, “I would like that to…” Morax said with a smile still present, Xiao just nodded while looking away with a flushed face due to your cuteness, and so you became friends with the two, now all you needed was a permanent home to live in…

The first time Venti had to run from the tavern to throw up, she thought nothing of it. Sicknesses happened, even to divine beings like her, and a quiet day with Vanessa’s tree should cure any of those.
When it lingered for several days, she joked at the tavern through the shaky smile that maybe she loved something more than wine, to customers’ amusement and the bartender’s exasperation.
When it continued well into the second week…
– You sound like Ellie a few months back, – Arundolyn frowned at her whining. – Are you with child, too?
Too stunned by the suggestion to properly reply, Venti managed only a squeaky:
– Don’t know..?
And bolted out of his grandmaster's office.
The thing was, she thought, somewhat coming back to her senses on the soothingly chilly stones of Old Mondstadt’s tower, that two months ago she would’ve laughed at that suggestion. With child? Her? The woman that didn’t touch anyone else nor let touch her for the last two millennia?
Venti nervously giggled, hiding her eyes in the balcony’s tiles – oh, but how could she not fall to the temptation of his cute fervor, so pure and unguarded, unraveling just for her? It was a shame she didn't know his mundane name...
She could not regret following this whim.
Still, calming down to actually check the theory took her an embarrassingly long time.
And when a tiny whirlwind did block the flow of her internal elemental power, her first thought was:
“Morax will kill me.”
///
Ginkgo leaves floated on the lake’s surface, and the water’s ripples echoed those in his teacup.
Suddenly rare again, a moment of respite tasted as bittersweet as a memory of glaze lilies swaying under his eyelids.
Calamities brewed on the horizon…
– Morax! – unfamiliarly frantic familiar voice interrupted his musings. – There you are!
– Barbára, – silently mourning his solitude, he inclined his head. – Should I bring wine?
– Not today, no, – uncharacteristically, she shook her head, plopping down on Cloud Retainer’s seat, and drummed on the table.
– You, and not drinking? – startled into a laugh, he raised his brow. – Did the sun rise in the West?
– I know, I seem to like wine best, – she groaned, hiding her face in her hands, – but I left feathers for the nest.
Having said that, she visibly froze, apprehensively looking at him through her fingers.
– Are you well? – however, Morax never was one for riddles. He frowned and pushed his yet untouched teacup towards her. – Here, drink this. Tell me what ails you, and I will brew something more suitable… Picking enough qingxins wouldn’t take more than a-
– I am pregnant! – she blurted, unable to stand his musings anymore. – And before you ask why I am telling you this, it’s because the only thing I know is that he is one of yours!
She dreamily sighed, averting her surely silly grin to the water:
– Majestic warrior kite I would love to fly with one day…
Many emotions flickered on his face – surprise, irritation, hurt – until it settled on tired acceptance, and he exhaled, firm:
– Xiao.
A blackened teal flashed in the corner of his eyes, reliable as ever.
– She’s to you.
At that, she turned, full of hope mixed with fear, and warm recognition blossomed on her face…
Only to flicker with hurt, as she reached past him, towards one more teal flare…
For the third to take her, too.
Huh.
So it wasn’t one of her made-up stories, then.
Ah, perhaps, taking a few of Xiao's patrols onto himself would not be amiss…
///
Days blurred together, comforting in their dullness.
Track the monster – dispatch – track the miasma – disperse – shoo the mortal – protect…
Cycle by cycle, day by day.
Only his karma didn't really steer, lulled as it was by a dandelion dream.
Until...
– Xiao, – his Lord's call, to be heeded without a question, brought him to Aocan's peak. – She's to you.
His tone of voice was foreign, disturbed, but the yaksha, for the first time in his service, couldn't concentrate on him, instead blindsided by his guest.
By her.
She...searched for him?
Why-
He disappeared faster than thought, and wavering tendrils of his power stretched to her too.
Plunging himself into the frigid of Dragonspine's lake.
Was she a mirage once more?
– Silly yaksha! – even through the thick water her shrill cry was perfectly clear, accompanied by the gritting of the ancient tool. – Why would you?..
He emerged with a surprised gasp, all senses glued to her, her, her-
Completely unassuming, bound to be confused with a mortal if not for the divine sparkle of her eyes, Lady of Anemo stood on the shore, worriedly reaching out.
– …Xiao?
– …you aren't a dream, – he muttered, awestruck.
– Oh? Am not, – she nervously chuckled and waved around. – May I request to take this talk somewhere you won't be an ice block?
High grass and river’s reeds surrounded them in a flash.
– Cold is not an issue, – Xiao belatedly added, still staring. Melting snowflakes mingled with the flow.
– Not for a moment, – she laughed, all the familiar tingle, plopping down beside one of the stones, – but even I cannot stave that mountain’s cold for long.
They looked at each other in comfortable silence for a moment, and then started in unison:
– Xiao, I…
– Lady Barbára…
– Hey, no-no-no, – she frowned, suddenly diverted, – I am no lady to regard when I am just a simple bard. Call me Venti! – she winked, stumping his protests before they even arrived, and patted the grass in the clear invitation.
He hesitantly lowered himself beside her, careful to not let any of his soaked garments touch her.
– Venti, – he amended and swallowed. Her name felt mangled in his raspy voice. – What did you search for me for?
To his surprise, her laugh took an awkward tone, and she averted her eyes to look at the water.
– I am sorry I left when you were still asleep, – he caught a corner of her sheepish smile and shook his head to show her that it was fine, her gift was already…
And then she turned with a nervous but determined grin and gently tugged his hand to her stomach:
– And that I carry now a small treasure to keep.
Her power lightly nudged his, and he confusedly but agreeably followed – once it touched her body, she shivered, which made him shiver in turn, but neither of them let go, delighted by each other's presence – slowly mapping her internal energy flow.
At first, Xiao couldn't understand.
Until…
A third presence lightly brushed theirs, no bigger than a seed.
An egg.
Their...
He froze in her hold, his power curling around in frantic flashes. Not a dream, she said. Could she mean – never a dream?
– You shouldn't have, – he muttered, reluctantly turning away and clenching his fists in a futile attempt to keep his hands to himself.
Believing was a dangerous notion for him.
And yet, her gentle laughter, clearer than any bell, enchanted him once more:
– Why not, my warrior? You are theirs as much as I am.
And all his resolve crumbled before her tender smile:
– After all, I wanted you too.
If a mortal soldier's hands were in blood to elbow, then he bathed in it from head to toe.
And yet, she trustingly leaned into his embrace, unafraid to mar her blindingly-white soul…
How could he deny her?
– I would've returned regardless, – she murmured, snuggling closer, drowsier by a minute in his arms, – just not that quickly… In a few years, maybe?
A few years, for immortals like them, meant almost nothing, and Xiao hid his shaky exhale in her hair.
– I will wait for you, – he whispered. Always.

So, that WIP with Maxime that I posted apparently a month ago? This is what it leads up to! Remember when there was a trend of redrawing these haunted house reaction pics? 😆
Started like 4 months ago ( 🥲 ), done in time for the Luminaria Party on Twitter!

On this particular day, Morax is here for Venti. He has come to accost him, showing up during one of the Bard's performances. His disguise is not. Great.
Tumblr media
Him but with a hat.
Tumblr media
Venti didn't notice he had an audience at first, playing songs of old at the base of the Tree of Vanessa. Listening to the winds rustle the leaves, it made for a lovely tune to go along with his lyre. The sounds of freedom he cherished so dearly.
Though the presence of the other was made quite clear very quickly. Venti opened his eyes to glance at the intruder, but he only smiled at them. What a poor disguise, but he wasn't about to make note of it.
"Hello there, traveler from Liyue--are you in need of something?"

Lumiparty Day 6 - Vanessa Morax ⚔️
It’s always cute and fun when the normally stern and serious character has an off-key moment. So here she is timidly trying to follow Yelsy’s lead. 😄
What followed wasn't entirely planned, but reading ahead in the list made an idea pop up... 😁

Trigger warning: Brief Mentions of death/war/violence/trauma/depression/past relationships/anxiety/etc...
Genre: angst to fluff, slight adventure.
Synopsis: 'orphic' a word used to describe something mysterious and entrancing that it beyond understanding, is how an forgotten archon like yourself would be. Yet, when the death goddess threatens to wreak havoc upon the land, then even the mighty morax seeks your help but will fate and prophecy overpower death?
𝙰/𝚗 : ɪ ʀᴇᴀʟʟʏ ᴄᴏᴜʟᴅɴᴛ ᴄᴏᴍᴇ ᴜᴘ ᴡɪᴛʜ ᴍᴜᴄʜ ғᴏʀ ᴛʜᴇ 500 ғᴏʟʟᴏᴡᴇʀ ᴇᴠᴇɴᴛ ғᴏʀ ᴛʜᴇ ᴏᴛʜᴇʀ ғᴀɴᴅᴏᴍs. Sᴏ, ɪᴍ ɢᴏɴɴᴀ ᴍᴀᴋᴇ ᴘʀᴏᴍᴘᴛs ғᴏʀ ᴛʜᴇ ᴇᴠᴇɴᴛ ɪɴsᴛᴇᴀᴅ! Eɪᴛʜᴇʀ ᴡᴀʏ ᴛʜɪs ᴡᴀs ᴋɪɴᴅᴀ ᴘᴀɪɴғᴜʟ ᴛᴏ ᴡʀɪᴛᴇ. Hᴏᴘᴇғᴜʟʟʏ, ʏᴀʟʟ ᴇɴᴊᴏʏ!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Rustling leaves and the faintly blowing wind—your two and only friends that brought safety to your unconscious form laid in a glass coffin like sleeping beauty. The sound of the breeze echoed in the abandoned domain as the world continued to live on without any worry or memory of the old archon. Another unknown God who will go down in history without an identity.
Perhaps, time really was flowing fast as the beautiful shore of liyue now, homes many people with the name of 'liyue harbor' and the dearly morax of yours had stepped down or how the anemo archon had blessed his city with freedom.
"How do we awaken her, my lord?" Whispers the yaksha unsure of whether what should be done next while the dark blue-haired bard tightens his grip on the lyre, in hopes of disturbing your slumber with a tender melody. A slumber originally intended to last an eternity was to be over, finally to free you from the domain of treachery.
Experienced fingers dance over the strings of his lyre playing tune more sweeter than honey. If it weren't for the current situation, this melody would resonate joy and peace instead of only drowning the atmosphere in dread, which creeps into their heart and mind.
Goosebumps adorn the soft and smooth skin of the three standing before you as the memory flashing before their eyes again. And perhaps, even the mighty morax was scared. Scared of the anger and wrath the death goddess possess which will soon be rained upon all of teyvat.
The swift wind blows softly over Vanessa's tree as the raven-haired woman growls at the people who stand in front of her. The calm breeze and sweet scent it bring could almost mask of what was truly happening between the four. Almost.
"You! How dare you, Morax!" Yelled Deidre upon the sight of the very Archon she dispised, along with this newbie who claimed the title of Barbatos and of course, the conquerer of demons by his side like two feral guard dogs trying to protect their owner with all their might.
Her wrath was polluting the atmosphere, thickening the air as if the sky crashed down on them and suddenly, the oxygen in the air isn't enough, suffocating them and compromising their ability to breathe as the yaksha swallows the lump in his throat.
"2,785 years ago, you and your disgraceful friends had me locked in slumber, like an animal. You–" with dark energy only growing like spilled ink staining a painting slowly destroying the scenery and casting a dark stain that only grows.
"How could you fall so low?! I put my faith in you yet this is the outcome of the trust! You foul-disgusting excuse of an Archon! What makes you believe that you're greater than death herself!!" The Archon rages on,
"B-barbatos, you too knew! And still continued to assist and bury those secrets for him! Now, b-because of your crimes, you will watch your civilizations drown in their own blood! This wretched land will be nothing but barren as death will remain the only being standing! Your peopl—"
"Enough is enough!" Interupts zhongli through gritted teeth, having just about enough of the other God degrading him, his friends and his people. "I understand your suffe—" "You don't!"
The tension thickens in the air, suffocating each one of them as xiao finds his heart trying to escape the confines if his chest while barbatos's jaw tightens even more and panic crawls it's way into their bodies. For the power of death should never underestimated and neither should the words that she fumes out.
The smooth melody continues to bounce off one wall to another as the reality sets down like the sun dawning upon the land. There is no-one who can escape the clutches of death especially humans who don't have a vision to defend themselves. But only one who is capable of eliminating the threat of Deidre, who could never be in fear of death and even dare be stronger than it, is fate.
Destiny, fate or whatever you may call them, can calm an Archon's wrath before the goddess of death charts her course to drain teyvat of life. Which is what brought them here at your mercy and awakening you, the God(dess) of fate and prophecy and dear friend of Deidre. Welcoming you back into the world but as the savior and not the antagonist it once viewed you as.
'Someone is calling me. Someone needs me.'
An unsettling feeling washed upon your semi-conscious figure before your eyes snapped open to an blinding light and the sight of morax, conquerer of demons and a new face, 'barbatos' whispered your intuition who continued to play the soft melody, not daring to shatter the dreadful atmosphere.
"H-how l-long..?" You choke-out unsure of how much time had passed since you've laid in this confinement. "2,785 years..." Whispers the yaksha while offering a hand which you take reluctantly but with a smile due to politeness.
Despite, the growing tension and unease, the melody soothed your heart from twisting and aching as zhongli informs your sleepy form of all that had happened in windrise and that she— "threatens to slaughter the public for our—no, my decisions and we need your assistance to avoid that from taking place..." He confesses, not daring to meet your eyes.
"And why do expect me to help when you and your disgraceful companions locked me in an eternal sleep..?" You ask quietly as the smooth melody of the lyre slowly dies down and silence falls upon the domain but the geo Archon smiles at your words being almost the same as the other.
"...b-because you're our o-only hope..." finally whispers barbatos, head hanging down in shame and humiliation as tears sting his eyes for not being capable of protecting his city or friends.
"Y-you are the onl—" he yells but is interrupted by loud and echoing footsteps and panting in the dead-silent domain that seemed to rush in your direction and through the door burst in. Who could possibly find a domain so old or get past its defense mechanism?
A man. A man who is tall and muscular with messy dark blue hair and chocolate-tinted skin. He has cryo vision hanging from his waist.
'Kaeya Alberich' murmers your intuition.
"M-master Jean!! She—!!" He screams as the colour slowly drains from your face.
Master jean was......

Tales of Luminaria Information/Resource Collection
When people want to know more about a piece of media that’s gone offline, they usually go to a wiki or a TV Tropes page because those places usually have all the information available.
But information on Tales of Luminaria is pretty scattered everywhere on different social media sites. A lot of fans were rushing to take screenshots and record what they could of the game before it shut down, after all. And because the information is scattered, it can be pretty difficult for people who have never played Tales of Luminaria to actually learn more about the game and its finer details.
So I made this post. I wanted to collect all the links to different places that have information on Luminaria in one place. It might end up helpful for Luminaria fans who are searching for really specific, miscellaneous things too!
Tumblr media
Personally, I recommend finding a character you’re interested in first, and then checking out all the character episodes they appear in!
Tumblr media
*If you want to understand the full story (that the devs released) of Luminaria, then you’re gonna have to watch every character episode they released eventually, but that’s roughly...38 hours of story content? And that’s a low estimate too! Not everyone has that kinda time, so that’s why I’d suggest finding a character you’re interested in first. Then you go wherever that interest leads you, at whatever pace you like
(”But what if I’m not interested in any of these characters?” Then I have a different recommendation for you!)

(”Okay, so I’ve looked at all the characters now, but I’m still not interested in any of them...” Check out this post for a different recommendation, then!)
After you’ve checked out the character episodes you were interested in, you’ll probably still have some questions about the story/setting/world. You can check out the game’s Terminology section and each character’s Chronology Tab to get a better understanding of the timeline, when certain events take place, and some details on the world these characters live in.
You can also check out Tales of Luminaria’s Two Part ONA! I made a post on where you can watch it, and I’ve included various comments from the anime directors, animation studio, writing team, etc.
Now, as I’ve mentioned before, information on Tales of Luminaria is scattered. You won’t find everything you’re looking for on one wiki/TV Tropes page, and you won’t find everything you’re looking for on one social media site either (but that’s true for every piece of media, isn’t it?)
Tumblr has the least amount of information on this game. To be fair, tumblr has always been less “information collection/archival” and more “fandom/fanworks/meta/shipping,” and that’s what people like about tumblr. Fanworks are important too, after all; they have the ability to move people.
Reddit strikes me more as a “information collection” kinda place. And their information collection is usually organized the best too. That being said, it’s very EN fandom-oriented, and most of Luminaria’s important news is in JP... And said news’ll probably all be in JP from now on as well.
Youtube is the only place you can watch character episodes, of course. And different channels offer different ways to watch them. There’s also some interesting miscellaneous compilations you can find too. Searching for it’s a nightmare, though, so that’s why I made a post.
Twitter is massive. Twitter easily has the most information on Luminaria out of all social media sites, and you’ll get even more information out of it if you understand some JP. Searching through twitter is an awful, horrible experience, though, so I had to make a post. Twitter users also tend to lock their accounts and delete their tweets, though, and that’s just how twitter is, so sometimes you just lose bits of information you wanted to check. Oh well!
I’ve also made a post on comments from different staff members and members of the game’s development team.
And that’s all I’ve got for now! But who knows what the future will have for us?
