And the alcoholism! You will be hard-pressed to find a truly sober person in Mondstadt at any time.Įven in the middle of the day, the city's taverns are packed with patrons.īut do not let their easy smiles and drunk swagger fool you - under those faces are a hard, steely people. They accept any visitors with open arms and warm smiles, and to be honest, most seem to be unable to harm a fly. Mondstadters are a relaxed, languid people - too relaxed for my liking. Not to mention, there are half a dozen cultures across the Land of Wind, and if I try to cover them all we'd be here for days. Of course, I am narrowing it down to Mondstadt, since they are who I am most familiar with. Putting that aside, let's start with the people. Later, I found out that he was a notorious flirt with both men and women, not to mention a very successful one. People: That was what a strange green-dressed bard asked me when we first met properly. "Will you be the first verse of my song?" Unfortunately, I haven't been able to visit any of the Windic cities save for Mondstadt - so I will focus mainly on them. To say their defence was successful would be a severe understatement. The formation of the Union was a hasty thing, a desperate response to a sudden Snezhnayan invasion - since each state alone could not hope to stand up to the Snezhnayan war machine, they formed a common front to fight back. Indeed, this is the very reason the Union was founded in the first place - because the city-states kept warring with each other. The only bedrock law? Don't attack each other. Each state fundamentally rules themselves with little to no oversight from the Order. The Windic Union is an alliance of statelets spread across the Land of Wind, "bound together by a thin string" known as the Favonian Order.
Mondstadt is simply the largest and most well-known of the Windic cities. In fact, Mondstadt isn't even the city where the Union was formed, that goes to Windrise. Most foreigners find the Windic Union synonymous with Mondstadt, and this couldn't be any less true. Background: Let's start with the Windic Union, the third nation I have visited since meeting my travel partner - also the nation I have had the most enjoyable time in thus far.
