Story
"The west wind bears wine's fragrance away,"
"The mountain wind brings glad tidings new."
"The breeze from afar tugs at my heart,"
"It sings of my longing for you."
Long ago, there was a knight who was ever dour of countenance.
Only a certain song could ever cause his brow to unfurl,
And only a certain girl who sang that song in the square,
Could cause him to forget the great burden of his duty for a time.
But at last, calamity came upon this land.
The songs that had once flown joyfully in the wind were drowned by a venomous dragon.
In the wake of its earth-shaking footsteps, even the cries and the flames were ripped asunder.
The Anemo Archon heard their agony, though he had refused to rule.
But to protect his old friends' dream, and defend the wind-kissed fields of green,
He woke from his long slumber anew, and with the sky dragon in battle he flew...
The Knight and his knights also fought for their land.
When the venomous dragon fell to ruin on the ice-sealed peak, the blue sky dragon fell asleep in the ancient tower.
But the Knight was in the valley, spent of his life's blood, and as he fell, he could only think thus:
"She is abroad studying, so she should be well. But ah, how I wish to hear her sing again."
"At least Arundolyn and Roland are alright. When she returns, this calamity should have blown over."
The songs in praise of the archon and tunes that recorded the battle of the two dragons were many, but all slowly became lost.
The song the girl loved to sing, too, changed upon her return.
"The dandelions carry in the summer wind,"
"Autumn brings the fragrance of grain."
"But no wind in any season on earth"
"Shall have you gaze upon me again."
And after her voice and her tears had run dry, the girl swore to use her life's flame to cleanse the world's crookedness.

FAQs
Is Elegy for the End good for Venti?
Elegy has the ability to essentially grant Venti the ability to grant a buff similar to that of 4PC Noblesse Oblige on top of some additional EM in tandem with his already elite crowd control and Anemo resistance shred thanks to his usual artifact set of choice in 4PC Viridescent Venerer. He is outright one of the strongest support characters in the game while wielding it.
Is Elegy for the End BiS for anyone?
In terms of selfish damage, there are certainly better options for most characters like the Skyward Harp, Amos Bow or Thundering Pulse. When it comes to supporting the overall team however, all of them pale in comparison, especially when it is placed on characters who can proc the passive effect in a timely manner such as Venti, Amber, or Fischl.
How does Elegy’s passive work?
Every hit the character caused when wielding Elegy, even if they are off the field, will grant a sigil. After gaining 4 sigils the passive will then proc and go on cooldown, being unable to proceed again for at least 20 seconds.
Final Thoughts
Elegy has a clear niche amongst the 5 star bows at the clear cut best option for characters who want to take a more supportive role for the team, and especially shines in the hands of a character like Venti who already brings so much utility to the table by further expanding just how much he can do. Understandably that may not be exactly what one is looking for in something so resource heavy to acquire, so use caution if you choose to roll for it.
