People would once raise a toast to a traveler's song that was thusly sung:
|
|
"If someone plucks out your tongue, you can still sing with your eyes."
|
|
"If someone blinds you in both eyes, you can still see with your ears."
|
|
"If someone conspires to destroy tomorrow, then raise them a glass,"
|
|
"For even if tomorrow dies, this song shall live on."
|
|
|
|
They say that a region's character follows that of its archon, and that this holds true both for the people and the land itself.
|
|
But was it the unfettered archon who bestowed a love of freedom and wine upon the land and people amidst conflict?
|
|
Or was it the people who nurtured the Anemo Archon's love of freedom as they pined for it amid the howling wind and frost?
|
|
This is a question that can no longer be answered.
|
|
|
|
But that song is often sung in dark times.
|
|
Whether in the days when Decarabian reigned from his gale-crowned tower,
|
|
Or when the corrupt nobility overturned the archon's likeness,
|
|
In cloistered cellars, in dark alleys, and in decrepit taverns,
|
|
The song seeped through the gale and the iron fist of tyranny, and became an anthem for resisting heroes.
|
|
|
|
In the distant past, in a silent city ringed in from all sides,
|
|
Cheers erupted to the sound of a lyre and at last pierced the prison of raging winds.
|
|
A certain group, comprised of a youth, a spirit, an archer, a knight and a wandering flame-haired warrior,
|
|
Came and stood before the tower that loomed like a sky-piercing lance,
|
|
That cast a shadow like that of a titan,
|
|
And they swore to be free, and vowed to shatter the rule of the tower's lone tyrant.
|
|
|
|
The weak and infirm who could not scale the tower instead sang the song that, till now, had only ever been whispered in corners where the wind did not reach,
|
|
And that drinking song rose up with force enough to shake the city walls, spurring the heroes on as they climbed...
|
|
"If someone plucks out your tongue, you can still sing with your eyes."
|
|
"If someone blinds you in both eyes, you can still see with your ears."
|
|
"But if anyone dares to steal your song, the freedom you yearn for,"
|
|
"— That alone, that alone shall never do!"
