Is it ever explained why the area between the Pillar of Embla and Amsvartnir looks the way it does?

I mean all the unnatural, wireframe-like features. It's a fascinating design and I was hoping that some quests would elaborate on the lore of how that area came to be like that. I'm caught up on the archon quests and have just finished Nightingale's Song... not a word so far.

Is there a world quest that at least mentions it? Or was there some limited event that I missed?

:::spoiler My personal hypothesis, before finishing the archon quests, was... ...that Dottore was trying to use the power of the moons (essentially Nibelung's authority) to actually reshape the world and create new land, separate from Teyvat, by weaving kuuvahki into tangible matter, and interrupting the process resulted in that half-finished, low-poly look. :::

Obviously things didn't turn out like that, and I'd love to know if any quest touches on the topic, because the wacky geometry is just way too cool of a detail to just drop and never elaborate.

Zibai vs Knuckle Duckle (compressed in 25MB WEBM)

Zibai is very strong. Even though Knuckle Duckle favors Electro characters, Zibai can out-DPS my Varesa for this fight. I tried Fischl+Sucrose too but that team is slightly worse than Varesa+Iansan.

Now for the video tech: compared to compressing anime, it's significantly harder to compress video game footage. Anime usually has simpler scenes with very little movement or a lot of static objects and backgrounds. Video game footage tends to have a lot of moving objects and higher framerates. I was forced to render this one at 360p, 30fps, VP9 45 CQ slow. With AV1, I think I can achieve much better. What's impressive here is Opus: at only 32kbps, the audio still sounds acceptable.
