three moon sisters
- aria, sonnet, and canon
- lived in the lunar palace
- changed places 3x a month to ride around the heavens in a silver carriage; failure to switch places would result in disaster
i read a note on the wiki somewhere that said there’s a mistranslation here — apparently the original chinese text makes it sound more like a failure to switch places would only be caused by a disaster, rather than the other way around.
# fall of the three moon sisters
- the three moon sisters saw what happened to the seelies & “mourned their fate” — their silver carriage was “overturned” while the “hall of stars” was destroyed
- the sisters turned on & killed each other — two of their corpses crumbled away, leaving one that is now the solitary moon
- the “solar chariot” fell into the chasm, where a later civilization there repaired it & returned it to the sky
- the wolves in teyvat still mourn the moon sisters
- the lost civilization that created the spiral abyss is connected to the moon sisters
