Drops | Hiatus
Drop
We are sorry to see you go! We hope you enjoyed your time in Folkmore. Be aware that if you drop entirely (all characters) from Folkmore you will need to be invited back in.
When a character is dropped, the character will become stardust and return to space. It is unknown if the characters goes home or if they go elsewhere in the universe.
Characters will know when a character has been dropped. They will see their close CR appear to them as a stardust-type ghost, waving, before they vanish. Alternatively, they will see that their Foxi profile is no longer accessible.
Hiatus
Characters on hiatus have two options: they can either go about their daily lives or fall into a deep coma, their bodies shining like starlight, suspended in the air.
We do not allow hiatuses with an estimated period of 3+ months. If you frequently take hiatuses and spend more time on hiatus than in the game, we may ask you to drop until things have cleared up. This is in fairness to other players. We are always willing to make accommodations for unique exceptions: please just let a mod know either on this page or privately.
If on hiatus, the player will not have to check in manually; the mods will take care of it.

Character Name: Dainsleif
Update Details:
Dainsleif’s next appearance in the canon is during the archon quest ‘Caribert’, where he appears in Port Ormos while the Traveller is speaking to Kaeya outside a tavern. On hearing Kaeya speaking about his surname he approaches and very brusquely reveals that Kaeya ancestor - another person carrying that surname - is the very person who originally founded the Abyss Order. Kaeya in turn points out that Dainsleif is a pure-blooded Khaenri’ahn (something that can be seen by the defined star shape of his pupils) unlike Kaeya himself, who is of mixed bloodlines (ostensibly).
Kaeya leaves and Dainsleif tells the Traveller that he is in Sumeru to investigate the ‘Loom of Fate’ after remembering something while recovering his health following the events in the Chasm (patch 2.6). The Abyss Twin had mentioned the Loom of Fate while they had travelled together some hundreds of years previously, and they had been in Sumeru at the time.
He invites the Traveller and Paimon to come with him to investigate and soon enough they come across a location in the Avidya Forest that Dainsleif realises is familiar. They find a building and an empty field and head inside the building, finding a box containing a broken mirror, a mortar and pestle, and Dainsleif notes that he can smell medicinal herbs.
While nothing seems out of the ordinary, Dainsleif insists that his instincts and his subconscious are telling him that something happened there. Some monsters gather outside, and after dispatching them Dainsleif expresses a belief that their appearance there was not random and that there must be some kind of Ley Line disturbance attracting them to the area. He leaves to explore the area around the house to try and find the source of the problem and the Traveller and Paimon stay behind.
(What follows are the main events of the quest, which Dainsleif is not present for but is filled in on later by the Traveller. There is a brief scene where he is present and speaking to the “Traveller”, trying to wake them and then realising they have been crying about their twin in the night… it is later clear that this was part of the Abyss Twin’s memory and not something experienced by the Traveller.)
The Traveller experiences an extended vision/memory of four hundred years previously, and the events that brought about the founding of the Abyss Order. Dainsleif and Paimon are trying to wake them and eventually succeed, and after being asked about Chlothar Alberich, Dainsleif tells them both that the man eventually went insane after around a century of immortality and disappeared. After relating the entire story to Dainsleif the man is clearly in disbelief despite the turmoil and power of the nearby Ley Lines (Ley Lines being capable of storing memory and emotions over a long period of time). The Abyss Twin who had travelled for so long with Dainsleif had never breathed a word of their experiences to him, but he realises that it was at around that time that they began to pull away from him and the path that they were both on.
The two of them dig up the empty field after the Traveller states that they want to know what is buried under it and find the skeletons of two people - a man and a woman - buried together. The Traveller believes that the male skeleton is the body of Chlothar Alberich, which indicates that at some point he had been able to break his curse of immortality and actually die. Dainsleif is clearly shocked by this revelation as this isn’t something he didn’t believe to be possible. He tells the Traveller that he needs some time to think and search his memories for some missing pieces, and that it would be safer for them to split up for now as “he” (something the Traveller saw in their vision) might have seen the Traveller.
While Dainsleif is not entirely certain who “he” is, he does have his suspicions and needs to confirm some details before he can be sure. He tells the Traveller that he will let them know what he has discovered when they next meet, ‘if the time is right’. Though Paimon tries to press him for more information, he dodges her questions.
(then he just leaves like the enigmatic PoS he is)
Mental or Physical Changes: Nothing in particular except that now, like everyone else in Teyvat (except the Traveller), Dainsleif has no memory of the Balladeer/Wanderer existing or of Greater Lord Rukkhadevata.
