Themis Ballad of Dunes Event Launches with New MR Cards

HoYoverse has unveiled an exciting new update for *Tears of Themis* titled "Ballad of the Dunes," a collaborative event with Gansu Province's Culture & Tourism. This crossover event beautifully merges the allure of detective work with the rich cultural heritage of Dunhuang, a historic city nestled on the edge of the Gobi Desert.

What Does Ballad of the Dunes Bring to Tears of Themis?

The "Ballad of the Dunes" event is a captivating blend of history, romance, and mystery, set against the backdrop of the ancient Silk Road. Players will immerse themselves in solving mysteries while exploring the cultural richness of Dunhuang. Here's what the event introduces to *Tears of Themis*:

The event features four new MR cards, each showcasing Luke, Artem, Vyn, and Marius, styled to reflect various aspects of Dunhuang's culture. These cards depict elements like flying apsaras, intricate murals, and the traditional pipa played behind the back, reminiscent of ancient performers in the Mogao Caves. The Silk Road, a historical conduit of art, culture, and trade since the Western Han Dynasty (202 BC–8 AD), is brought to life in this digital experience by HoYoverse.

Each card narrates a unique story: Luke's "In the Footsteps of Silk," Artem's "Serenade of the Soul," Vyn's "Reverberation Through Time," and Marius's "Void of Creation." These cards also include Private Messages that delve into a journey spanning a thousand years.
