Genshin - Soraya Story and Profile - Wangshu Inn Bulletin Board
Zhongli left a message at Wangshu Inn's Bulletin Board, and refers to Soraya as his ''Scholar friend from Sumeru.'' They most likely discussed the entirety of Liyue's history.


"Thank you for the stay. My scholar friend from Sumeru and I talked happily into the night, from debating the principles of the world and elements to recounting stories of our hometowns, famous specialties, culture, and nearly every topic one could think of—reminiscing like this really makes one's heart swell with emotion."

"I should be getting back to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor after the rain stops, otherwise Director Hu may come drag me back herself."

Volume 1 of the Customs of Liyue discusses a Flower Ball, a wedding custom in Liyue in which whoever catches the flower ball that the bride will throw will experience a year of good luck.

Bao'er and the Treasure Hoarders

Genshin - Soraya Story and Profile - Bao
In The Lost Relic daily commission, the Traveler rescues Soraya from being attacked by the Treasure Hoarders. The reason for the assault is because they were looking for a relic to give Bao'er, the Treasure Hoarder Boss.

Soraya is a firm believer that artifacts should not be looted and sold for money, but rather studied and used for inspiration. This is also why she sends the Traveler back to the ruins to punish the Treasure Hoarders in the daily commission A Little Raid.

Legend of the Skybracer

Genshin - Soraya Story and Profile - When Scholars and Legends Meet
During the Lantern Rite 2021 and under the When Scholars and Legends Meet event quest, the Traveler joins Soraya in Mt. Tianheng to learn more about Skybracer, that year's featured Adeptus of the Mingxiao Lantern.

Soraya wanted to know if the legend of Skybracer holding Mt. Tianheng with their antlers was true or if the soil had an unusual composition.
