SEASON ONE
Every episode our team will work to provide you with visual and video aids to help you better understand comparisons and what we’re talking about.
Below are some resources surrounding what we discussed about Xingqiu and the Feiyun Commerce Guild that may be helpful to better understand this week’s lore:
Xingqiu and Chongyun are one of the most popular ships in the game. Their characters are always together in quests and their friendship is canon. And just look how cute they are together!
Xingqui’s hit book titled ‘A Legend of Sword’ is a sci-fi novel illustrated by Calx aka Albedo. Its a nod to the real-life Japanese sci-fi series ‘Legend of the Galactic Heroes‘.
‘A Legend of Sword’ wasn’t a hit in Xingqiu’s home of Liyue but took off in Inazuma and Fontaine. During the 2022 Irodori Festival in Inazuma we help Xingqui sign all his books before he meets his readers.
The Feiyun Commerce Guild is Xingqiu’s family’s business. Run by his father and older brother, the guild is known for its trading of luxury goods like silks and printing books. You can find the guild in the center of the Liyue Harbor.
One of the most prevalent goods traded by the Feiyun Commerce Guild is its exquisite silks made from Liyue’s local specialty Silk Flowers. You can find their silks at the kimono shop in Inazuma.
Xingqiu sets out to find the final chapter to his favorite story by visiting the author, Chang the Ninth. You can find Chang the Ninth in the mountains of Qingce Village in Liyue.
Feens mentions one of her favorite content creators, Mari (_chongyum / progenigator), has a theory that Pantalone is Xingqiu’s older brother. Check out the story on AO3:

Xingqiu had it rough during the Irodori Festival. No sleep, his handwriting mocked and he could even bring Chongyun with him.
Hopefully they let him take his signature stamp home with him for next time.
