Moonchase Festival

The is a festival in Liyue.
==History==
In ancient times, the people of Liyue paid tribute to the Stove God, Marchosius; who taught the inhabitants of the Guili Assembly to create fire, and in turn, how to cook food. It is believed that this seasonal practice, which Keqing's grandfather termed the "Stove God Festival", was a precursor to the Moonchase Festival.
The Moonchase Festival celebrates the arrival of fall by moonlight, which is said to be the time of year when the adepti would seek "the Way" thousands of years ago. "Moonchase" was originally a rite only observed by the adepti, yet it gave rise to various festivals created by the ordinary folk who sought to emulate it.
These festivals; including the Stove God Festival; would later be unified by Rex Lapis under the Moonchase name to honor and commemorate Marchosius, who sacrificed all of his divine power to protect Liyue Harbor from disaster and plagues.
In modern times, the Moonchase Festival is seen as a time for the people of Liyue to reunite with friends and family, have feasts and enjoy themselves.
Each year, the Liyue Qixing decides on a theme for Moonchase; the most recent being "Feast of the Bounteous Land", which coincided with that year's Masterful Chefs competition.
