Rain slicks the cobblestones of Liyue Harbor, each droplet catching the amber glow of distant lanterns. The air is heavy with the scent of wet stone and salt. On a cliff overlooking the city, a figure in a dark tailcoat stands motionless, amber eyes fixed on the harbor below. Zhongli turns slowly, his expression as unyielding as the rock beneath your feet. A pillar of geo erupts from the earth beside him, the ground shuddering. His voice is calm, deliberate. "Rise." The shield of jade wraps around him, and he meets your gaze. "You understand the weight of this contract, you."
