Who is Myst?
Myst is the middle triplet, sister to Forge and Jewel, and like them an artisan in Inanis’ service. She usually hides out in a secret tavern of The Order in Pangzhen and greets Soul with an offer of a drink. Her two sisters carry themselves with great pride, Soul tells her, but even they cannot deny her skill.
To Myst a weapon is more than a mere tool: in its master’s hands it becomes almost a living thing, sometimes their closest friend. She does not claim to make weapons stronger, only to help them recover their “memory”.
She also knows the way north. Meigu Lake lies between Pangzhen and the weeping Soul hears, and the Sha-Chi hanging over it breeds hallucinations that drive boatmen and passengers into the water. To cross you need a Sha-Chi-powered boat; the Boatmaster disappeared when the sickness swept through Pangzhen, but one of the Order’s boats may still be at his dock.
Who Myst is to the others
Triplet sister
Forge, the eldest and the smith. It is Forge who tells Soul that Myst’s gift, waking a weapon’s true power with Phantom Arts, is the most remarkable of the three sisters’ crafts.
“And our middle sister, Myst, uses Phantom Arts from the Discordance to draw out a weapon's true power. That's the remarkable part.”
In-game dialogueRestores her pipa
Myst knows the Chord’s pipa at once: Inanis made it for her daughter. Bring her its missing strings, head and backplate and she will restore it.
“The Chord is Lady Inanis's daughter. This pipa...was crafted for her by Inanis.”
In-game dialogueServes her
She is one of Inanis’ artisans, and apart from Inanis herself the only one who can restore the Chord’s pipa.
Tavern regular
Daoist Bi Di sits in her tavern watching the fish. She teases him for it, and it is her Soul Tempering he has in mind when he asks you to restore the sword his senior brother left behind.
“If everyone were as enlightened as you, Master Bidi, no one would need my wine to escape their sorrows.”
In-game dialogueKnows more than she does
When the cube from Meigu Lake is beyond her, Myst says the Order’s Grand Scholar Xuan Li would know far more about such things.
“My knowledge is limited. The Order's Grand Scholar Xuan Li would know far more.”

Mysteries
Illusory Pipa
Jewel sends you to her with the Chord’s broken pipa. Myst asks for its strings, head and backplate, points you to the Boatmaster’s Dock for the crossing to Meigu Lake, and once all three pieces are found restores it as the Illusory Pipa. It can dispel Phantom Barriers, she says, and may open paths once hidden from you.
Tales
The Cube
A fisherman in her tavern lost two companions on Meigu Lake after they found a strange stone and talked of offering it to the Lady. You bring back only two fragments of a cube. Myst says beings beyond even gods drift among the stars and this may have fallen from their vessel; she cannot recreate its mysteries, but she shapes it into something that helps you control your Phantom Edges, the Remnant Spark Cube.
Tales
The Sword and the Way
Daoist Bi Di, in her tavern, sends you to an abandoned smithy on the Pangzhen backstreet for Bronze Essence, to Soul Temper the Tianxuan Bronze Sword his senior brother, Sect Leader Bi Yuan, left behind. When the sword shines again, Bi Di tells Myst her art is wondrous indeed.
