r/ZhongliMains

I just got back to playing Genshin again, and I am still and always will be in love with Zhongli since I got him in version 1.1, however there is one thing that really gets me. All these years later and with Zhongli being an Archon and highly popular character, how come he never got a skin? I think it's so disappointing, especially as THE archon. I know he isn't as relevant in the meta, but still. I find it pretty odd and incredibly sad. I'd definitely pay money to get a skin for him, as I'm sure it'd be fantastic! Honestly, I think the time for him to have a skin has passed, which is just so sad. What a loss.

When discussing Zhongli's saddest past experiences, people often focus directly on Guizhong and Azhdaha, yet many overlook the "Mistress of Chenyu Vale." In my opinion, her story contains some of the most heartbreaking details regarding Zhongli's past—such as how he never had the chance to give her his gift, how that gift is now stained with blood (something he never wanted), and how these thoughts haunted him—as well as the fact that he had to defeat her (alongside other allies he was forced to confront throughout his "journey").

Primordial Jade Cutter text:

They say that when Liyue first arose, Rex Lapis once walked the land with a sword hewn from jade. Despite the constant wear and tear of age, the jade edge, so bathed in blood, still retained a polished sheen as if brand-new. The blood was washed away in the rain of a thousand years, yet the thoughts and grudges that gathered about it could not be so easily eliminated.

"Nephrite has the soul of the Bishui's gentle heart, and will in time cleanse itself of the remnant grudges within." "But who will ease the agony that the jade itself feels for having becoming an instrument of slaughter?"

These words of a friend long-forgotten were both lament and sigh. But the inexorable gears of destiny would drown out those compassionate words.

In the passing of many long years, many became mortal foes who once made merry together, While those who betrayed one another or fought to the death would come to share a drink, their hatred dispelled. So it was also with this precious sword, carved as it once was to be given as an expensive gift to a certain someone. This jade too was once cut for love of peace and luxury.

When wine vessels are filled with blood, and when tender feelings are ripped asunder by cold ambition and reduced to dust on the wind, Gifts ungiven and bonds unspoken will become sharp blades with which to cleave erstwhile friends.

Hello, anyone from Norway here? I’m trying to buy some zhongli merch but my country doesn’t have any sadly and my sister lives in Moss. I want to ask her to buy me some of his stuff, can anyone from Norway recommend some shops?
