Character Wields the Power of Anemo or is From Mondstadt

Asagiri's Notes

Constructing a classic story must necessarily also involve a 'legendary place.'

For example, a cathedral where the hero has stored their trusty blade, a cave where pirates have stashed their stash, or a castle from which the demon lord might be awakened...

And a giant tree is a classic even amongst classics, a timeless landmark, whether it be as a journey's starting point or its destination.

As it so happens, this author's tale begins in a nation not too unlike Mondstadt, so I'm sure we'll find a most suitable reference location there...
