After the defeat of Ursa, Vennessa staged a revolt with the assistance of nobles who remained uncorrupted and Mondstadt was liberated once more. Vennessa's RevoltĪfter meeting Vennessa and hearing her plight, Barbatos, now Venti, blessed her with the power to defeat and drive off Ursa the Drake, which the nobles were using as a means to control Mondstadt. Once again hearing the prayers of the oppressed, Barbatos returned during the Lupi Harpastum festival and saw the corruption of his ideals first hand. One of these gladiators was Vennessa, a red haired woman enslaved with the rest of her people called the Muratans. The Rise of Vennessa and Return of Barbatosĭuring the reign of the aristocracy, some slaves were offered a chance at freedom becoming gladiators for the amusement of the nobility. Their legacy can be found in the Wanderer's Troupe artifact set, as well as the 4-Star Wanderer's Troupe weapons: The Bell, The Stringless, The Flute, and The Widsith. The Wanderer's TroupeĪ band of bardic swordsmen attempted to overthrow the aristocracy but failed in their efforts. The traditions and histories of Mondstadt were obscured or rewritten in order to further cement the power of the nobility. The Lawrence family in particular were especially corrupt. In the centuries following the departure of Barbatos, the nobility of Mondstadt spiraled into depravity.
