During their travels across the worlds, the Traveler and their twin sibling are confronted by an unknown entity as they were about to depart. In the ensuing battle, the unknown entity seals off the sibling, before doing the same to the Traveler, sealing their powers and putting both of them in Teyvat.
The Traveler eventually wakes up after an undisclosed amount of time and proceeds to wander across Teyvat. The Traveler is around Cape Oath when they fish out Paimon from a lake, thus saving her from drowning. Grateful for the rescue, Paimon becomes their travel companion and guide. She suggests they get in contact with The Seven in order to help the Traveler look for their lost sibling.
Making their way to Starfell Lake, the Traveler touches the Anemo Statue of The Seven and they spot a green dragon heading toward a distant forest.
Upon pursuing the dragon, the pair spot both the dragon and a stranger, the latter trying to calm the dragon down, but a reaction from the Traveler’s newfound powers leads to them alerting the dragon to their presence. The stranger also flees, leaving behind a crimson blood colored teardrop crystal which the Traveler takes.
Once Paimon and the Traveler leave the forest, the pair are halted by a scout, who introduces herself as the Outrider of the Knights of Favonius, Amber. Amber offers to escort them to Mondstadt, the City of Freedom, after she deals with a Hilichurl camp nearby which the Traveler and Paimon assist with.
Impressed by their actions at the camp, Amber gifts them a Wind Glider. But after a test flight, the dragon that the Traveler and Paimon had previously sighted, dubbed “Stormterror” by the locals, starts rampaging throughout the region and unleashing multiple wind storms in the process. The Traveler, with the aid of the stranger (albeit unaware of his presence) is able to drive Stormterror off.
The confrontation between the Traveler and Stormterror catches the eye of the Cavalry Captain of the Knights of Favonius, Kaeya; thus he asks the Outlanders to meet the Acting Grandmaster, Jean, at their primary base of operations. Jean asks them to get a handle on the Ley Line disruptions powering Stormterror from three of the Four Winds’ Temples, as prescribed by Lisa, the Knights’ Librarian.
After dealing with the temples, Paimon suggests that they return to the knights’ headquarters to see what they should do next.
After the Traveler dealt with the Temples, they come back to Mondstadt to report to Jean. They find a masked woman talking to Jean, who suggests they kill the dragon to end the problem. Jean dismisses the woman, stating that she has no respect as she doesn’t know that Stormterror is actually Dvalin, one of the Four Winds. Jean then spots the two and explains to them that the woman she spoke to is a Fatui diplomat.
Regarding the dragon situation, the Traveler remembered the gem they found at the forest earlier, hoping the Knights would know what it is. Lisa tries to study it, but it emits harmful energy towards Vision users, so the Traveler puts it back in their pockets. The Traveler knew the reason, but remains silent as Jean grants the title Honorary Knight to them.
Paimon had known there was another presence when they found the gem, and subconsciously identified the boy running in the streets as the same person. After tracking down the stranger via his footprints with their Elemental Sight, the stranger sings the song of “Stormterror,” identified as Dvalin, and the reason for his rampage. The stranger, Venti, recognizes the Traveler.
