Suibian Temple

Suibian Temple is a Point of Interest in Failume Heights.

During Season 2 of Phaethon's Story, the siblings reside here while undergoing training from Yixuan. There is also a management system attached to Suibian Temple, wherein the player will gradually restore the location.^[1]

Overview

Suibian Temple is one of Yunkui Summit's older bases. It used to be an active location with many mystics in Yixuan and Yijiang's generation, but the majority of them died during the fall of the old capital, with Yixuan being the sole survivor.^[2] Since then, the temple was largely abandoned until Mayor Mayflower requested the disciples to investigate Lemnian Hollow. They reconvened at the temple shortly before Phaethon's arrival in Season 2 Chapter 1.^[3] Over the course of Season 2, Phaethon helps to restore and renovate Suibian Temple while living there.

History

Suibian Temple was founded by a senior member of Yunkui Summit decades ago, when the mystics first arrived in Waifei. Back then, the Ether currents around the Hollow were especially turbulent and many lost their loved ones to the Hollow. The senior mystic created a special paper bird called a "skyletter," asking people to write prayers for family and friends in them, and released a basketful of skyletters into the Hollow with a spell. After that, the currents calmed down and people continued the ritual of releasing skyletters. This tradition was known as the Tidefaire.^[4]

The temple's name also came from the senior, who scouted the location for a base and spent an entire week surveying the feng shui. She discovered that the area had outstanding feng shui, but didn't want the landowner to catch on in case it would drive the land price up. When the landowner asked her why she was spending so much time, she said she was just "casually looking around" (随便看看 suíbiàn kànkàn). Eventually she bought the land to build the temple, and the name stuck.^[3] Everyone called her the Suibian Temple Shifu, or just "Sui Shifu" for short, and the Tidefaire became an annual tradition held at the temple. She later left Suibian Temple to travel the world and has not returned since.^[4]

Trivia

• During the cutscene where Phaethon meets Ye Shunguang in Season 2 Chapter 4, the temple will appear completely restored (Lv. 35+), regardless of what level it actually is. This is likely an intentional choice.
  • Furthermore, during Season 2 Chapter 3, Ye Shiyuan disappears along with Sarah, but is present in almost all of the Suibian Temple restoration commissions. This suggests that the temple would have been completely restored by that point, else his presence later on would not make any sense.

Etymology

• The name of the temple 隨便 suíbiàn means "whatever," "random," or "doing as one pleases" in Chinese, while 觀 guàn stands for "Taoist temple."
