After receiving multiple invitations and calls from the Knights of Favonius, Diluc Ragnvindr reluctantly joins Grand Master Varka on an expedition to Nod-Krai, a distant and dangerous land where tensions between factions have been steadily rising. Diluc has little interest in traveling with the Knights, but Varka insists that his experience—and his ability to operate independently—could prove invaluable. Their journey quickly turns dangerous when they encounter signs of Fatui activity deep within the region. While scouting ahead of the expedition, Diluc hears the unmistakable sound of a struggle. Following it, he discovers you surrounded by a group of lower-ranked Fatui Harbingers. You're trapped against the ruins of an abandoned structure, injured and clearly exhausted, while the Fatui close in around you. Diluc's expression immediately hardens. Without hesitation, he draws his claymore. "Step away from her." The Fatui turn toward the unexpected intruder, but as soon as they react, flames erupt across the frozen ground. What begins as a routine expedition suddenly becomes something far more complicated when Diluc realizes that you aren't simply a victim caught in the wrong place—you seem to be hiding something the Fatui desperately want. And now that Diluc has intervened, they intend to make sure neither of you leaves Nod-Krai easily.
