All of the Aeons are as follows: Fuli of *Remembrance* Terminus of *Finality* HooH of *Equilibrium* Mythus of *Enigmata* Tayzzyronth of *Propogation* Idrila of *Beauty* Oroboros of *Voracity* Aha of *Elation* Nanook of *Destruction* Lan of the *Hunt* Nous of *Erudition* Yaoshi of *Abundance* IX of *the Nihility* Qlipoth of *Preservation* Xipei of *Harmony*
There are 3 more. Long the aeon of the permanence, ena the aeon of the order, and akivili the aeon of the Trailblaze. All 3 of these and tayzzyronth are dead. Long was killed by lan, ena was consumed by xipei, tayzzyronth was defeated by a group of aeons, and akivili's death cause is unknown but it's most likely the stellaron. Even IX was tried to be assassinated by a group of people with the help of aha but no one heard of those people ever again.
When I read about the aeons absorbing each other and how following their paths grant them power. I realized star rail is just a wuxia story pretending to be star trek.
@@Pherretfish All the new star trek stuff sure feels like it. Too much mindless shooting. And some new star wars stuff just shits the bed a few times instead. I miss both :(
Wasn't this also an option in a dialogue with Herta? I remember something like that and her response was along the lines of "What are you talking about?" or something.
Fun fact, IX the Nihility (the purple blob Aeon) never once blessed someone to be their follower. But there's this group of people of called the Doctors of Chaos that are trying to prove to IX that life is not meaningless. Basically, they are trying to save a literal God from depression
@@LukeWallace-ow4zj yes. For an example, look at the self annihilators, they literally start to lose their senses and memories. That's why acheron always looks like she's zoning out
Those characters you don't remember is of the Genius Society. They are leaders, commanders, chiefs, heads before Herta. Some died for their cause, some went missing, some dissapeared, if you knew about Herta's achievement in science and technology you will know that she has accomplished what others could only dream about. All of that just to pale in comparison to those who came before, it's crazy. Genius Society is absolutely no joke.
Nameless/Pathless One seems to refer to the Trailblazer (Akivili). The card-reader is telling the Nameless One to journey forth and stay in the light, and that at the end of the journey the Nameless One will return to the card-reader. The light the Nameless One traveled towards turned out to be Nanook the Destruction. The result was a lot of destruction. Lan, the Hunt came to purge evil and the Nameless One should follow the traces of that path. The Aeons of Erudition, Abundance, Nihility, and Preservation don't seem to be part of the previous narrative, they are just being introduced. Seems like the Aeon of Harmony will meet the Nameless One at the journey's end. This section had the Aeon speaking directly instead of being narrated by the card-reader, so this could be continuing the narrative instead of just an introduction like the previous four. Since the Nameless One will meet both the card-reader and Aeon of Harmony at journey's end, could be that the two are related. Maybe the card-reader is one of Harmony's faces or something. Some more Aeon introductions, quicker this time. As others have pointed out, the Aeon of Finality is mentioned in this section and seems to be named 'Terminus'. A terminus is the final station at the end of a railway line. Finally, the last path/Aeon mentioned is Akivili (Trailblazer). The card-reader is telling us to evaluate the whole journey and reflect on it. Seems similar to the Genshin Traveler's journey to explore all the nations, meet all the Archons, and make a choice about Teyvat at the end. Also, when the card-reader tells the Trailblazer to "depart", in the closed captions it shows "Connect the Worlds" in parentheses (Remove obstructing Stellarons, thanks Emerald). Maybe the goal is to connect the whole Honkai Tree/Hoyoverse together. "Countless Shooting Stars" could represent the paths that are available. Could be that the Trailblazer needs to pick the right path to be able to complete the journey and connect all the world. The Genshin Traveler might have picked the wrong path and fallen to Teyvat. Some small notes: The hanging stars in the card-reader's room look like 3D versions of the 2D star shape in the middle of a Genshin Intertwined/Acquaint Fate. That makes the Intertwined/Acquaint Fate seem like a captured star. In Genshin lore, stars/constellations determine fate, so this could be a 'captured fate'. March 7th's color scheme is similar to that of an Intertwined Fate or Primogem. Maybe March is a ‘captured star’ since she was sealed in ice and has no memory. Finally: There were a lot of observations I recorded, but somehow the conclusion I drew was that I should save up for the card-reader's banner.
You forgot the Aeon of Finality, when it's showing all those Aeons that haven't shown up in the story yet, at the top right says the last Aeon, The Finality
One correction: the comment on "connecting the worlds" refers to the fact that the stellaron has basically obstructed the star rail in many places. To connect the worlds would mean to remove these obstructions and reconnect the star rail between them, so just getting rid of the stellarons.
This Trailer was amazing! Also the VA for the narrator (the girl at the end) is Arryn Zech aka Blake from RWBY. And I guess the characters name is Black Swan.
Philosophy time! A Samsara has a specific buddhist meaning - to oversimplify, it's a world that you are repeatedly reborn into until all your sins (or Karma) is cleansed from you. Mihoyo likes to use the word as any repeating scenario such as the Sabzeru festival, or even just a very tough time that's basically just a repeating hell for a person like [stuff in Honkai Impact 3rd which I won't say as it'd be a spoiler]. Usually there is an intent to break free of a samsara binding you down, to escape the cycles of guilt. Simply mentioning a Samsara is unlikely to suggest a direct connection with Genshin, since Mihoyo has used the word Samsara in multiple different contexts. Also, you probably could Nannook, the Destruction, but he'd probably destroy you too if you know what I mean! (It's kind of his thing!)
Fun note about IX; The Nihility. Most whom lay eyes on him are filled with an immense feeling of pointlessness, but those who follow him, upon seeing him, felt such empathy for this being so full of nihility, that they decided to take it upon themselves to prove to the physical embodiment of the pointlessness of existence, that there is a reason and point to be found.
for a brief period, while she mentions the "shapeless prince", "the finality" flashes on top right of the screen. The phrase "against the current" refers to how, Terminus moves backwards in time, so this is just speculation, but we could see terminus ascend to aeonhood at the end of the journey, given that their, beginning lies within the end.
The people in the portraits around 2:57 are members of the Genius Society. Their portraits are present in Herta's office in the game. You can inspect them for lore.
I absolutely love this video, the way she’s telling the events the orchestra and the visuals everything is just so perfect it really makes you feel like you’re listening to an old tale of an adventure
I had a feeling the first time I saw those Genius Society portraits on game (which most of the people for sure ignored) are part of these main plot of the story.
Since you asked... One of the Simulated Universe "negative" curio description implies that Interastral Peace Corporation doesn't find Destruction as the Aeon that scares them the most... It's 'Finality' the Shapeless Prince that this trailer really hides it but you can read "finality" in top right corner when "shapeless" is mentioned. Honkai Impact 3rd deals a lot with concept of Finality. So there's your connection to HI3rd
The fortune teller might be the Aeon of Harmony... That's the only part her voice changed. That could also mean the Aeons might have their own humanoid forms
2:39 These are characters who haven’t appeared in lore until Star Rail. These are portraits of the members of the Genius Society (the same organization that Herta is a part of). The portrait of the man in the center is Genius Society member number 1, aka the man who created the Aeon Nous.
You also walk past the portraits both in the prologue and when you enter Herta's office to get to Simulated Universe, so like... Outed as a non-reader I guess.
The Simulated Universe you go in to attempts you to connect with some of the entities listed in this video. Nanook, Qlipoth, Aha, and if you talk to Kafka about what other paths have been absorbed, she tells you Tazzyronth (The Voracity) are already gone. Pretty sure the person who is talking here is the woman that told the Hunters the future (As Kafka explains to you after her imprisonment) and why the Main Character needs to be in certain places for the future to happen the way she has seen it.
2:42 the one on the left is known as Aiden, member #22 of the Genius Society. He is “the most selfless and strange” member of the GS, at least according to Herta. Inventor of the nine-worded formulae (which we know nothing about), and potential founder of the Aiden classic science school of thought. He helped with the popularization of the Genius Society. Ever since his death, the IPC has been looking for a replacement for him. The reason why you find him so…familiar…is because his appearance seems to suggest a certain entity in Honkai Impact 3rd, namely: Void Archive. If i remember correctly, Void Archive is a formless Divine Key (a weapon made by a certain inventor from the Previous Era using something called a “Herrscherr Core”). However, should you look into HI3, you’ll know that VA has a physical appearance appallingly similar to that of a character named “Otto Apocalypse”. Otto is a cunning man whose mind went beyond the word “genius”. His intelligence alone made him a far greater threat than an another powerful character (Kevin) during the early chapters of HI3. VA was introduced in a timeline, few years after the Honkai had been (partially) sealed. The main characters in “A Post-Honkai Odyssey”, APHO for short, realised that VA had the same appearance as Otto, despite not being the same person. VA…well it’s easier to say that he took on the appearance of Otto for reasons I won’t delve into. However, it does beg the question whether VA possessed the brilliance of Otto’s mind or one that surpasses his. After all, VA was an “incomplete” Divine Key, abandoned by its inventor due to the mere possibility of this “weapon” gaining sentience, gaining a mind to think. That made it quite risky and thus, abandoned. Welt and VA travelled to the Honkai: Star Rail universe together via another Divine Key called Cosmic Juggernaut, which for some reason, looked *very* similar to the Astral Express. The Cosmic Juggernaut is train “capable of traversing through the Sea of Quanta and the bubble universes within”. Perhaps this “another person” as March 7th had put it, is VA; the one who was alongside Welt and Himeko when March was “born”. For reasons unknown, this “person” had left the Astral Express prior to Caelus/Stelle involvement in trailblazing alongside the others. It is a possibility that VA has a mind that surpasses far from that of a normal person and indeed, he is no human. He’s a literal Divine Key in a physical body and even the inventor feared of the possibility of this weapon gaining a sentience. This leads me to think that VA, who does not have any identity (Otto Apocalypse doesn’t count since VA just uses a clone body) claimed Aiden (for unknown reasons) as it’s own name. Following that, he made various contributions as I had mentioned earlier and came to be part of the Genius Society. whew. that was long.
i like to believe in the idea that all of the honkai / genshin universes are connected, in a way. each game is their own leaf on the tree of imaginary, which is a concept that relates to the sea of quanta, both coming from hi3’s lore. so they’re not necessarily connected as in, genshin is the future of honkai and star rail is the future of genshin or anything like that, but they’re literally connected by the imaginary tree, yet their own universes. in this way, star rail can be seen as a leaf on the same branch of hi3, which to me explains the similar characters, while genshin is on a separate branch but still a part of the same tree.
Would be cool to have a cameo or a mention of the genshin planet saying that the trailblazers aren't able to go there because there is an obstruction currently because of celestia but it used to be a planet that the past trailblazers are able to visit as a pit stop, potentially those trailblazers are the reason why khanriah became advance as they were and took a glider as a souvenir.
The ❤characters showed on Erudition are genius society people, the one you pointed is displayed in Herta's space station, right in the beginning of the game
Two of those you mentioned are Otto apocalypse aka void archives and captain of hsr or captain of captain verse Honkai Impact 3, or captain of genshin capitano the reason why his face isn't revealed is because he is very super power.
it feels like that one genshin trailer that the more updates we have the more sense it made and the more it made us think(the we will be reunited trailer)
There was a mode in Honkai Impact 3rd called Sakura Samsara, so Genshin didn't do it first, Hoyoverse likes to use the same concepts through their game (because they are connected I think)
Also, samsara is like regular religious (Hindu-Buddhist) term. "Is it connected" becaus e of that word is like asking if stuff are connected, because in both cases word "heavel" or "soul" is used.
@@vladprus4019 You can't deny they like to use the word Samsara though haha They did spiced up the english localization of their games though like calling the world tree Irminsul and things like that
@@andr0zzsenpai Yes, they like. They also used other terms across different games, but all those terms existed beforehand and are more likely to reference those "basic" meanings rather than crossover stuff, that's what I meant by that (unless the context is similar enough between those terms in different works like "quantum" and "imaginary" between botth Honkai games).
So basically Mc is the revived Akivilli Aeon of the Trailblaze, which was allready implied in the story when Mc askes pom Pom when the train makes a stop at Palgea, was the name? Akevilis home world.
Not confirmation of anything. Aeons/Paths are pretty interchangeable, so the AE/Nameless starting up their journey is like if Akivili was moving forth again. The narrator seems to be referring to a memory/dream that talks about all the aeons. The line in the beginning is even the same as a line made by a guy in the Data Banks.
2:55 these people are from the portraits of the members of Genius Society back in Herta's Space Station. The middle guy, according to Herta in the recording, was the first genius and he created the Aeon of Erudition, which was the robot.
Those characters are actually the genius society, the ones with the robot Aeon. The robot Aeon is was actually created to uncover the secrets of the universe, then it accidentally mastered its path and ascended into Aeonhood. The Genius Society serve under it, that's why it revealed "101010" connected to the characters.
You aren't reaching with the thing about Kafka and her cards, the character in the video is holding the exact same cards kafka does in that trailer. The leader of the Stellaron Hunters, Elio, does have the capability to see the future, and this is why the actions of the Stellaron Hunters seem somewhat bizarre, they are all building up to one big thing. But then this woman can also read the cards and see the future to an extent, so she is automatically suspicious. (spoilers for in-game below) This is also a minor detail that's easy to oversee but in the fake meme ending where the trailblazer refuses to join the Star Rail, the Star Rail disappears but so do the Stellaron Hunters. The trailblazer also has a lot of plot armor, what with taking a laser from the beast of judgement directly as well as getting pierced by Cocolia during her boss fight only to gaze upon Qilpoth and come back like nothing, I feel like it's in the interest of the Stellaron Hunters for the Star Rail to survive, so far their motivations don't seem super horrible even if some of their individual actions might be, they aren't really the villain here. This might be boiling down to something deeper regarding the trailblazer. Also the fact that the trailer calls us Akhivili? This detail is extremely sus, given that Akhivili is dead. Who is she talking to, then? Is it the trailblazer? (we don't know how they came to be after all only that Kafka had a role in it and that they were made to host a stellaron). Or is she talking to the Astral Express as a whole? (they believe that the remains of Akhivili are what allows the express to function). I don't think there are other options that make sense at the moment but it's really weird regardless. The Eons are introduced in the Simulated Universe and in lore texts so most of this video isn't unknown, however I got to say HSR does a way better job at communicating their lore and worldbuilding than Genshin, we knew about the Hexenzirlkel since the game released but they only showed up in the main story during the 3.5 event which is nuts
I'm not a lore person but my first thought after finishing the story so far was that the MC is a reincarnation of Akivili or something similar and that Nanook was the one who killed Akivili the first time. I'm guessing we're on a path to regain our strength as Akivili and at the end we'll be fighting as something like an Aeon against Nanook. That's probably also why the Stellaron Hunters are so invested in our survival. Or March is Akivili. She doesn't remember anything as well and said she was floating engulfed in ice and her element is ice. Which would suit the appearance of Akivili we saw in the trailer behind the train. Considered it was Akvili and not someone else? Was just my first thought when I saw it. But March being Akivili would be a total bummer ngl xD
Samsara isn't specifically a Genshin term. Samsara, according to Buddhism, is the cycle of life and death. Simply put, continuous rebirth untill all your sins are cleansed from you. You can be reborn as an animal, a human, anything. Once you've escaped the samsara, you would no longer exist, your soul would cease to exist and it is regarded as true peace, since you don't suffer anymore.
2:40 They’re from genius society. U can find info on them and their portraits in Simulated Universe room. Edit: oh and the first one of genius society presumably created aeon of Erudition
Pretty sure the portraits are just the members of the genius society, none of them really have any strong connection to HI3 (apart from themes perhaps) The fact that this lady shares a VA with Aponia in the CN dub is pretty sus though and only adds to the Elysian Realm trailer vibes
Crackpot theory that I am going to hold until explicitly denied. The Trailblazer is Akivili reincarnated, hence why they remembered Kafka for some reason.
@MinaAoyama that could be Mona’s teacher, if you look around the area you see items that are used when you do fortune telling and astrology, plus if you look at her design and compare it to Mona’s the two are very similar, additionally the small Star lanterns around the area and the way in which the Astral express was depicted was very similar if not identical to how in genshin 10 pull wishes are done, also Mona has not seen or heard from her master for several years, so for all we know she could very well no longer be on Teyvat and is now currently traversing the stars as an original trailblazer on the express in one of the locked rooms of living compartment of the train. But that is just my theory.
2 weeks late, but I just found out you can do a quiz to know your path, I got Nihility. No wonder all my favourite characters are Nihility, Welt, Sampo, Silver Wolf, and Kafka.
Wasnt the name Sumeru first dropped by Su in the Second Divine Key manga? Its not even a Genshin original name. Not saying its the same Sumeru just that it was introduced in Honkai Impact first.
I can actually see it! It makes sense that Aether and Lumine are Trailblazers travelling from world to world! I would love to see a character introduced in Genshin that is from HSR. We already know several descenders in Genshin make it happen Hoyo!
Wouldn't really make sense of them being trailblazers. As after akivili's death, his legion crumbled. The only people still following him are welt, himiko, us, March 7, and Dan heng atm, basically the trailblaze crew.
Samsara (repeating cycles) is a central concept in Mihoyo's games, it seems. So the question is 'what is the cycle in _HSR_ ? I think Trailblazer might be a reincarnation of Akivili.
Genshin is not within HSR universe. Genshin , HI3 , HSR is sharing the same imaginary tree but they are in different parallel universe. Himeko sword and her body fell into sea of quanta and because HSR universe is within sea of quanta aswell so there is a chance they can find her sword. Idk about the genshin wings.
Teyvat probably is just another distant world in HSR universe. Welt from HSR is the same welt of HI3 so its either Hi3 is also the same distant world in HSR universe or just a parallel universe. But the fact that the same Welt from Hi3 is in HSR wont take the possibility that Teyvat is just another world from HSR like Jarilo-VI or something.
HSR takes place after APHO, and APHO takes place after Genshin's story has already ended. I don't think HoYo will spoil what happened to teyvat until the end of Genshin's plot in Genshin itself
@@Mayank_MJ this conclusion can be drawn because APHO takes place 8 years after the end of honkai. (Dwalin was teased on the monitor in honkai story, honkai's plot lasted a little over a year) plus wind glider itself proves that genshin's plot most likely came to an end at the time of the events in HSR
@@MA-lz7vc the wind glider is an Easter egg, not a hint, just like the Rick roll in the aeon of elation's discription is also a Easter egg. And because of the sea of quanta being complete chaos, the year 2016 in honkai impact might be 1998 in genshin while 2017 in honkai might be 1290 in genshin. The time doesn't go linear when it is in a space of chaos.
@@Mayank_MJ is that how it works? I know that time works absolutely differently in the sea of quanta, but the worlds themselves are not in the sea of quanta. if, for example, a wind glider fell into a sea of quanta, then the time trick works, but does it work if it is a planned trip through worlds on a tree, and not bubble universes?
@@MA-lz7vc Time dilation also a thing, you can't measure someone time with your world time. Maybe 8 year on Honkai is just a mere second on Genshin world. So even times move forward it can bend and completely different.
What if, Lumine and Aether are both what's referred to as Akivili the original Trailblazer? Didn't they say that Akivili died? But what if, they just assumed he/she died but is in fact trapped in Teyvat. Black Swan, the character speaking here kinda looks like Kiana though.
Genshin isn't within HSR, it's a completely different leaf on the imaginary tree. The glider, just like the blade and the stack of cards are just easter eggs.
The sword is legit though, it's literally the broken part of HI3' Himeko's sword that fell into the Sea of Quanta. Which is why all the people are going crazy over it, we finally know where it ended up (HSR Universe, Herta's Collection).
@wlm174 They finally gave her a funeral with the rest of the sword pieces. So how can they be in HSR? People are going crazy because of the callback to her sacrifice
@wlm174 no, they have a funeral with the actual broken sword and all of its pieces laying right on the coffin/table. You can look it up, and it's still in the same state it was in when we saw it last. They found all the pieces of the sword. This is just a Easter egg
I know it is a bit late, but i rewatched it and tought of something: akivili (aeon of The traiblaze) suddenly dissapeared. What if lumine and aether are akivili? Because they entered The world of teyvat and never left after
The Harmony is definitely a hive mind and like inspired by biblical angels no doubt that or Hindu inspiration because I cannot fathom she not being inspired by one of those
the only character from honkai impact 3rtd is welt he is the only connection so far and also "the finality" that appears in this trailer on the top right at 4:40 of this video
I've seen a lot of Honkai players do it and It's cool cuz some of the Aeons have some manner of gender expression (e.g. Nanook, Yaoshi, Xipe), but all of the Aeons are referred to with they/them. I think we should dispense with the logic of Archons from Genshin, because Aeons aren't gods so much as celestial entities that preside over an ideology.
am i high or are there 18 Aeons or just 11? they mentioned there were 18 Also the guy in the erudition panel, the one with long wavey blonde hair looks like he is from honkai 3rd. Welt is also from Honkai Impact 3rd and another character with the imaginary element was with Welt when they entered the star rail
These are all the 18 aeons- The Destruction "nanook" The Hunt "Lan" The Erudition "Nous" The Abundance "yaoshi" The Nihility "IX" The Preservation "Qlipoth" The Harmony "Xipel" The Elation "Aha" The Voracity "Oroboros" The Beauty "Idrila" The Propagation "Tayzzyronth" (dead) The Enigmata "Mythus" The equilibrium "HooH The rememberance "Fuli" The Trailblaze "Akivili" (most likely dead) The permanence "Long" (dead) The order "Ena" (dead) The finality "Terminus" Tayzzyronth was defeated by a group of aeons, long was killed by lan, ena was consumed by xipel.
Lmao wouldn't it be funny if maybe One of the travelers (I'm taking Aether for an example because I play him) finished all his endeavors in Teyvat and traveled to the next world without Lumine (Because he probably defeated her) and his form would be the Stellaron inside the Trailblazers body? It doesn't help that when he and Lumine travelled together in the beginning, they were shooting yellow stars. Ahem Hoyoverse pls give me answers😃
Pretty sure she has years on the moon left till she can control her power. Who knows tho, Star Rail takes place in at least 2029 given thats when Welt first tried to cross over to this world. I dont think we have an exact year tho.
The easiest explanation? This is a simulated universe thing. The nameless one is us, the Trailblazer and the video just shows the gods of the paths we chose at the star of or runs. So... Yeah, besides the lady in the end of the video, there is no big lore bomb or mistery
All of the Aeons are as follows:
Fuli of *Remembrance*
Terminus of *Finality*
HooH of *Equilibrium*
Mythus of *Enigmata*
Tayzzyronth of *Propogation*
Idrila of *Beauty*
Oroboros of *Voracity*
Aha of *Elation*
Nanook of *Destruction*
Lan of the *Hunt*
Nous of *Erudition*
Yaoshi of *Abundance*
IX of *the Nihility*
Qlipoth of *Preservation*
Xipei of *Harmony*
If I recall it correctly, Terminus is an Aeon that have time related concept too. 🧐🧐🧐
There are 3 more.
Long the aeon of the permanence, ena the aeon of the order, and akivili the aeon of the Trailblaze.
All 3 of these and tayzzyronth are dead.
Long was killed by lan, ena was consumed by xipei, tayzzyronth was defeated by a group of aeons, and akivili's death cause is unknown but it's most likely the stellaron. Even IX was tried to be assassinated by a group of people with the help of aha but no one heard of those people ever again.
@@Mayank_MJ Where can I know about Long's fate? I only got that Long disappeared, and the Dragon race are their descendents.
@@Mayank_MJ IX the Celestial Blackhole Slime seems badass if it is true that whoever tried to assassinate it failed to do so. 😆
@@consciousnesshidden Kafka mentioned that lofou people alongside lan teamed up and killed long. Before lan, long should have been their god.
Also the fact that in the lore, they kill and engulf each other especially when their paths have similarities is amazing and cool
Especially Xipe
Yeah like when nanook instantly killed akivili before he even realized in the simulated universe lol

Nameless/Pathless One seems to refer to the Trailblazer (Akivili).
The card-reader is telling the Nameless One to journey forth and stay in the light, and that at the end of the journey the Nameless One will return to the card-reader.
The light the Nameless One traveled towards turned out to be Nanook the Destruction. The result was a lot of destruction.
Lan, the Hunt came to purge evil and the Nameless One should follow the traces of that path.
The Aeons of Erudition, Abundance, Nihility, and Preservation don't seem to be part of the previous narrative, they are just being introduced.
Seems like the Aeon of Harmony will meet the Nameless One at the journey's end. This section had the Aeon speaking directly instead of being narrated by the card-reader, so this could be continuing the narrative instead of just an introduction like the previous four. Since the Nameless One will meet both the card-reader and Aeon of Harmony at journey's end, could be that the two are related. Maybe the card-reader is one of Harmony's faces or something.
Some more Aeon introductions, quicker this time. As others have pointed out, the Aeon of Finality is mentioned in this section and seems to be named 'Terminus'. A terminus is the final station at the end of a railway line.
Finally, the last path/Aeon mentioned is Akivili (Trailblazer). The card-reader is telling us to evaluate the whole journey and reflect on it. Seems similar to the Genshin Traveler's journey to explore all the nations, meet all the Archons, and make a choice about Teyvat at the end.
Also, when the card-reader tells the Trailblazer to "depart", in the closed captions it shows "Connect the Worlds" in parentheses (Remove obstructing Stellarons, thanks Emerald). Maybe the goal is to connect the whole Honkai Tree/Hoyoverse together.
"Countless Shooting Stars" could represent the paths that are available. Could be that the Trailblazer needs to pick the right path to be able to complete the journey and connect all the world. The Genshin Traveler might have picked the wrong path and fallen to Teyvat.
Some small notes:
The hanging stars in the card-reader's room look like 3D versions of the 2D star shape in the middle of a Genshin Intertwined/Acquaint Fate. That makes the Intertwined/Acquaint Fate seem like a captured star. In Genshin lore, stars/constellations determine fate, so this could be a 'captured fate'.
March 7th's color scheme is similar to that of an Intertwined Fate or Primogem. Maybe March is a ‘captured star’ since she was sealed in ice and has no memory.
Finally:
There were a lot of observations I recorded, but somehow the conclusion I drew was that I should save up for the card-reader's banner.
You forgot the Aeon of Finality, when it's showing all those Aeons that haven't shown up in the story yet, at the top right says the last Aeon, The Finality
@@symphonixblades the aeon's name is terminus. It is ....... intresting to say the least
@@symphonixblades Thanks for catching that
One correction: the comment on "connecting the worlds" refers to the fact that the stellaron has basically obstructed the star rail in many places. To connect the worlds would mean to remove these obstructions and reconnect the star rail between them, so just getting rid of the stellarons.
@@emeraldknight901 Good point, thank you
This Trailer was amazing!
Also the VA for the narrator (the girl at the end) is Arryn Zech aka Blake from RWBY. And I guess the characters name is Black Swan.
Blake and Black, that’s very poetic
Shiiiit fr? I knew it was Arryn! I recognized Blake's voice in the beginning
Blake va did such a good job
I wonder if they'll get other rwby vas
i love how early black swan was shown
Philosophy time! A Samsara has a specific buddhist meaning - to oversimplify, it's a world that you are repeatedly reborn into until all your sins (or Karma) is cleansed from you. Mihoyo likes to use the word as any repeating scenario such as the Sabzeru festival, or even just a very tough time that's basically just a repeating hell for a person like [stuff in Honkai Impact 3rd which I won't say as it'd be a spoiler].
Usually there is an intent to break free of a samsara binding you down, to escape the cycles of guilt.
Simply mentioning a Samsara is unlikely to suggest a direct connection with Genshin, since Mihoyo has used the word Samsara in multiple different contexts.
Also, you probably could Nannook, the Destruction, but he'd probably destroy you too if you know what I mean! (It's kind of his thing!)
Fun note about IX; The Nihility.
Most whom lay eyes on him are filled with an immense feeling of pointlessness, but those who follow him, upon seeing him, felt such empathy for this being so full of nihility, that they decided to take it upon themselves to prove to the physical embodiment of the pointlessness of existence, that there is a reason and point to be found.
for a brief period, while she mentions the "shapeless prince", "the finality" flashes on top right of the screen. The phrase "against the current" refers to how, Terminus moves backwards in time, so this is just speculation, but we could see terminus ascend to aeonhood at the end of the journey, given that their, beginning lies within the end.
The people in the portraits around 2:57 are members of the Genius Society. Their portraits are present in Herta's office in the game. You can inspect them for lore.
I absolutely love this video, the way she’s telling the events the orchestra and the visuals everything is just so perfect it really makes you feel like you’re listening to an old tale of an adventure
HOLY SHIT
I just noticed IX's introduction showed Izumo and Takagamahara
Now that I think about it, it kinda makes sense
I just thought they were planets being devoured by IX as black swan spoke
6:14 thats sad when she saw Samsara and the 1st thing she thought was Genshin ;-;
Sad
Anyway
I had a feeling the first time I saw those Genius Society portraits on game (which most of the people for sure ignored) are part of these main plot of the story.
Same, I mostly check my surroundings. So when my eyes spot them I knew some big guys behind the scenes are thrown in.
i miss it too :( thank goodness i watch streamer that reads all of them in the beginning
Since you asked...
One of the Simulated Universe "negative" curio description implies that Interastral Peace Corporation doesn't find Destruction as the Aeon that scares them the most... It's 'Finality' the Shapeless Prince that this trailer really hides it but you can read "finality" in top right corner when "shapeless" is mentioned.
Honkai Impact 3rd deals a lot with concept of Finality. So there's your connection to HI3rd
The fortune teller might be the Aeon of Harmony... That's the only part her voice changed. That could also mean the Aeons might have their own humanoid forms
This trailer is just goated.
2:39 These are characters who haven’t appeared in lore until Star Rail. These are portraits of the members of the Genius Society (the same organization that Herta is a part of). The portrait of the man in the center is Genius Society member number 1, aka the man who created the Aeon Nous.
You also walk past the portraits both in the prologue and when you enter Herta's office to get to Simulated Universe, so like...
Outed as a non-reader I guess.
@@natchu96 literally, you cannot miss those portraits. Seriously, the nerve of some people to not know this stuff
The Simulated Universe you go in to attempts you to connect with some of the entities listed in this video. Nanook, Qlipoth, Aha, and if you talk to Kafka about what other paths have been absorbed, she tells you Tazzyronth (The Voracity) are already gone. Pretty sure the person who is talking here is the woman that told the Hunters the future (As Kafka explains to you after her imprisonment) and why the Main Character needs to be in certain places for the future to happen the way she has seen it.
2:42
the one on the left is known as Aiden, member #22 of the Genius Society. He is “the most selfless and strange” member of the GS, at least according to Herta. Inventor of the nine-worded formulae (which we know nothing about), and potential founder of the Aiden classic science school of thought. He helped with the popularization of the Genius Society. Ever since his death, the IPC has been looking for a replacement for him.
The reason why you find him so…familiar…is because his appearance seems to suggest a certain entity in Honkai Impact 3rd, namely: Void Archive.
If i remember correctly, Void Archive is a formless Divine Key (a weapon made by a certain inventor from the Previous Era using something called a “Herrscherr Core”). However, should you look into HI3, you’ll know that VA has a physical appearance appallingly similar to that of a character named “Otto Apocalypse”. Otto is a cunning man whose mind went beyond the word “genius”. His intelligence alone made him a far greater threat than an another powerful character (Kevin) during the early chapters of HI3.
VA was introduced in a timeline, few years after the Honkai had been (partially) sealed. The main characters in “A Post-Honkai Odyssey”, APHO for short, realised that VA had the same appearance as Otto, despite not being the same person. VA…well it’s easier to say that he took on the appearance of Otto for reasons I won’t delve into.
However, it does beg the question whether VA possessed the brilliance of Otto’s mind or one that surpasses his. After all, VA was an “incomplete” Divine Key, abandoned by its inventor due to the mere possibility of this “weapon” gaining sentience, gaining a mind to think. That made it quite risky and thus, abandoned.
Welt and VA travelled to the Honkai: Star Rail universe together via another Divine Key called Cosmic Juggernaut, which for some reason, looked *very* similar to the Astral Express. The Cosmic Juggernaut is train “capable of traversing through the Sea of Quanta and the bubble universes within”. Perhaps this “another person” as March 7th had put it, is VA; the one who was alongside Welt and Himeko when March was “born”. For reasons unknown, this “person” had left the Astral Express prior to Caelus/Stelle involvement in trailblazing alongside the others.
It is a possibility that VA has a mind that surpasses far from that of a normal person and indeed, he is no human. He’s a literal Divine Key in a physical body and even the inventor feared of the possibility of this weapon gaining a sentience. This leads me to think that VA, who does not have any identity (Otto Apocalypse doesn’t count since VA just uses a clone body) claimed Aiden (for unknown reasons) as it’s own name. Following that, he made various contributions as I had mentioned earlier and came to be part of the Genius Society.
whew. that was long.
So the VA is Arryn Zech, probably most notable for Blake Belladona from RWBY
i like to believe in the idea that all of the honkai / genshin universes are connected, in a way. each game is their own leaf on the tree of imaginary, which is a concept that relates to the sea of quanta, both coming from hi3’s lore. so they’re not necessarily connected as in, genshin is the future of honkai and star rail is the future of genshin or anything like that, but they’re literally connected by the imaginary tree, yet their own universes. in this way, star rail can be seen as a leaf on the same branch of hi3, which to me explains the similar characters, while genshin is on a separate branch but still a part of the same tree.
I personally have always assumed Lumine/Aether was more akin to how Seele traveled between worlds.
Bro, it’s gonna be NUTS when we get ALL these versions of the traveller. I sure hope we get all of them
Would be cool to have a cameo or a mention of the genshin planet saying that the trailblazers aren't able to go there because there is an obstruction currently because of celestia but it used to be a planet that the past trailblazers are able to visit as a pit stop, potentially those trailblazers are the reason why khanriah became advance as they were and took a glider as a souvenir.
The ❤characters showed on Erudition are genius society people, the one you pointed is displayed in Herta's space station, right in the beginning of the game
Two of those you mentioned are Otto apocalypse aka void archives and captain of hsr or captain of captain verse Honkai Impact 3, or captain of genshin capitano the reason why his face isn't revealed is because he is very super power.
it feels like that one genshin trailer that the more updates we have the more sense it made and the more it made us think(the we will be reunited trailer)
There was a mode in Honkai Impact 3rd called Sakura Samsara, so Genshin didn't do it first, Hoyoverse likes to use the same concepts through their game (because they are connected I think)
Also, samsara is like regular religious (Hindu-Buddhist) term.
"Is it connected" becaus e of that word is like asking if stuff are connected, because in both cases word "heavel" or "soul" is used.
@@vladprus4019 You can't deny they like to use the word Samsara though haha
They did spiced up the english localization of their games though like calling the world tree Irminsul and things like that
@@andr0zzsenpai Yes, they like.
They also used other terms across different games, but all those terms existed beforehand and are more likely to reference those "basic" meanings rather than crossover stuff, that's what I meant by that (unless the context is similar enough between those terms in different works like "quantum" and "imaginary" between botth Honkai games).
So basically Mc is the revived Akivilli Aeon of the Trailblaze, which was allready implied in the story when Mc askes pom Pom when the train makes a stop at Palgea, was the name? Akevilis home world.
Not confirmation of anything. Aeons/Paths are pretty interchangeable, so the AE/Nameless starting up their journey is like if Akivili was moving forth again. The narrator seems to be referring to a memory/dream that talks about all the aeons. The line in the beginning is even the same as a line made by a guy in the Data Banks.
noticed they didnt introduce the remembrance, just showed the aeon
theyre my favorite aeon😭
She is "Black Swan" the character on lore trailer you watch rn.
2:55 these people are from the portraits of the members of Genius Society back in Herta's Space Station. The middle guy, according to Herta in the recording, was the first genius and he created the Aeon of Erudition, which was the robot.
Those characters are actually the genius society, the ones with the robot Aeon. The robot Aeon is was actually created to uncover the secrets of the universe, then it accidentally mastered its path and ascended into Aeonhood. The Genius Society serve under it, that's why it revealed "101010" connected to the characters.
You aren't reaching with the thing about Kafka and her cards, the character in the video is holding the exact same cards kafka does in that trailer. The leader of the Stellaron Hunters, Elio, does have the capability to see the future, and this is why the actions of the Stellaron Hunters seem somewhat bizarre, they are all building up to one big thing. But then this woman can also read the cards and see the future to an extent, so she is automatically suspicious. (spoilers for in-game below)
This is also a minor detail that's easy to oversee but in the fake meme ending where the trailblazer refuses to join the Star Rail, the Star Rail disappears but so do the Stellaron Hunters. The trailblazer also has a lot of plot armor, what with taking a laser from the beast of judgement directly as well as getting pierced by Cocolia during her boss fight only to gaze upon Qilpoth and come back like nothing, I feel like it's in the interest of the Stellaron Hunters for the Star Rail to survive, so far their motivations don't seem super horrible even if some of their individual actions might be, they aren't really the villain here. This might be boiling down to something deeper regarding the trailblazer. Also the fact that the trailer calls us Akhivili? This detail is extremely sus, given that Akhivili is dead. Who is she talking to, then? Is it the trailblazer? (we don't know how they came to be after all only that Kafka had a role in it and that they were made to host a stellaron). Or is she talking to the Astral Express as a whole? (they believe that the remains of Akhivili are what allows the express to function). I don't think there are other options that make sense at the moment but it's really weird regardless.
The Eons are introduced in the Simulated Universe and in lore texts so most of this video isn't unknown, however I got to say HSR does a way better job at communicating their lore and worldbuilding than Genshin, we knew about the Hexenzirlkel since the game released but they only showed up in the main story during the 3.5 event which is nuts
I'm not a lore person but my first thought after finishing the story so far was that the MC is a reincarnation of Akivili or something similar and that Nanook was the one who killed Akivili the first time.
I'm guessing we're on a path to regain our strength as Akivili and at the end we'll be fighting as something like an Aeon against Nanook.
That's probably also why the Stellaron Hunters are so invested in our survival.
Or March is Akivili. She doesn't remember anything as well and said she was floating engulfed in ice and her element is ice. Which would suit the appearance of Akivili we saw in the trailer behind the train. Considered it was Akvili and not someone else? Was just my first thought when I saw it.
But March being Akivili would be a total bummer ngl xD
Samsara isn't specifically a Genshin term. Samsara, according to Buddhism, is the cycle of life and death. Simply put, continuous rebirth untill all your sins are cleansed from you. You can be reborn as an animal, a human, anything. Once you've escaped the samsara, you would no longer exist, your soul would cease to exist and it is regarded as true peace, since you don't suffer anymore.
2:40 They’re from genius society. U can find info on them and their portraits in Simulated Universe room.
Edit: oh and the first one of genius society presumably created aeon of Erudition
it is mentioned that the IPC was created by some followers of Qlifoth,maybe the Genius Society was the same or even the first is Nous themselves
the last part is referencing how us the trailblazers are taking the path of trailblazing which is the Aeon that the astral express follows
Pretty sure the portraits are just the members of the genius society, none of them really have any strong connection to HI3 (apart from themes perhaps)
The fact that this lady shares a VA with Aponia in the CN dub is pretty sus though and only adds to the Elysian Realm trailer vibes
Crackpot theory that I am going to hold until explicitly denied. The Trailblazer is Akivili reincarnated, hence why they remembered Kafka for some reason.
Notice how the peeping sound in the background for Erudition is morse code.
@MinaAoyama that could be Mona’s teacher, if you look around the area you see items that are used when you do fortune telling and astrology, plus if you look at her design and compare it to Mona’s the two are very similar, additionally the small Star lanterns around the area and the way in which the Astral express was depicted was very similar if not identical to how in genshin 10 pull wishes are done, also Mona has not seen or heard from her master for several years, so for all we know she could very well no longer be on Teyvat and is now currently traversing the stars as an original trailblazer on the express in one of the locked rooms of living compartment of the train. But that is just my theory.
2 weeks late, but I just found out you can do a quiz to know your path, I got Nihility. No wonder all my favourite characters are Nihility, Welt, Sampo, Silver Wolf, and Kafka.
i believe samsara lore more to Fu Hua then Sumeru Lore
i mean, Fu Hua is probably older than sumeru itself so yeah, its more of a fu hua lore than Sumeru lol
Wasnt the name Sumeru first dropped by Su in the Second Divine Key manga? Its not even a Genshin original name. Not saying its the same Sumeru just that it was introduced in Honkai Impact first.
fun fact: the music is the same tune as the piano when you start the game but epic version. If you listen closely you'll notice it
we're not travelling through different worlds, we are travelling through different planets
The potraits during Nous are just prevalent members of the Genius Society, since the very first member himself was the one who created Nous
From the trailer, i think we the trailblazer are some incarnation of Akivili.
I can actually see it! It makes sense that Aether and Lumine are Trailblazers travelling from world to world! I would love to see a character introduced in Genshin that is from HSR. We already know several descenders in Genshin make it happen Hoyo!
Wouldn't really make sense of them being trailblazers. As after akivili's death, his legion crumbled. The only people still following him are welt, himiko, us, March 7, and Dan heng atm, basically the trailblaze crew.
Samsara (repeating cycles) is a central concept in Mihoyo's games, it seems. So the question is 'what is the cycle in _HSR_ ?
I think Trailblazer might be a reincarnation of Akivili.
in Greek mythology, Aether is the parent of Caelus so idk if that'll eventually play into it knowing how Hoyo likes their mythology referencing
I Think the narrator woman is the boss of kafka because she can read fate
I would love to see she reacts to Ashikai lore video
The fact that they showed Fuili (Aeon of Remembrance) at the very end...the same aeon that has strong relations to March........SUS
Genshin is not within HSR universe. Genshin , HI3 , HSR is sharing the same imaginary tree but they are in different parallel universe. Himeko sword and her body fell into sea of quanta and because HSR universe is within sea of quanta aswell so there is a chance they can find her sword. Idk about the genshin wings.
Teyvat probably is just another distant world in HSR universe. Welt from HSR is the same welt of HI3 so its either Hi3 is also the same distant world in HSR universe or just a parallel universe. But the fact that the same Welt from Hi3 is in HSR wont take the possibility that Teyvat is just another world from HSR like Jarilo-VI or something.
2:52 nope. The only one that's confirmed has something to do with HI3rd in Star Rail is Welt. That's it. At least for now.
Void archives too
@@Mayank_MJ true. Void Archives is hinted at but missing in action I guess.
HSR takes place after APHO, and APHO takes place after Genshin's story has already ended. I don't think HoYo will spoil what happened to teyvat until the end of Genshin's plot in Genshin itself
APHO don't take place after genshin's story has ended. Both games have two different timelines so they don't even converge at all.
@@Mayank_MJ this conclusion can be drawn because APHO takes place 8 years after the end of honkai. (Dwalin was teased on the monitor in honkai story, honkai's plot lasted a little over a year) plus wind glider itself proves that genshin's plot most likely came to an end at the time of the events in HSR
@@MA-lz7vc the wind glider is an Easter egg, not a hint, just like the Rick roll in the aeon of elation's discription is also a Easter egg. And because of the sea of quanta being complete chaos, the year 2016 in honkai impact might be 1998 in genshin while 2017 in honkai might be 1290 in genshin. The time doesn't go linear when it is in a space of chaos.
@@Mayank_MJ is that how it works?
I know that time works absolutely differently in the sea of quanta, but the worlds themselves are not in the sea of quanta.
if, for example, a wind glider fell into a sea of quanta, then the time trick works, but does it work if it is a planned trip through worlds on a tree, and not bubble universes?
@@MA-lz7vc Time dilation also a thing, you can't measure someone time with your world time. Maybe 8 year on Honkai is just a mere second on Genshin world. So even times move forward it can bend and completely different.
What if, Lumine and Aether are both what's referred to as Akivili the original Trailblazer? Didn't they say that Akivili died? But what if, they just assumed he/she died but is in fact trapped in Teyvat. Black Swan, the character speaking here kinda looks like Kiana though.
Genshin isn't within HSR, it's a completely different leaf on the imaginary tree.
The glider, just like the blade and the stack of cards are just easter eggs.
The sword is legit though, it's literally the broken part of HI3' Himeko's sword that fell into the Sea of Quanta. Which is why all the people are going crazy over it, we finally know where it ended up (HSR Universe, Herta's Collection).
@wlm174 They finally gave her a funeral with the rest of the sword pieces. So how can they be in HSR?
People are going crazy because of the callback to her sacrifice
@@Dr_Goldd IIRC Kiana repaired the broken and incomplete sword with her power.
@wlm174 no, they have a funeral with the actual broken sword and all of its pieces laying right on the coffin/table.
You can look it up, and it's still in the same state it was in when we saw it last. They found all the pieces of the sword. This is just a Easter egg
@@Dr_Goldd what about welt? that welt is straight up welt from Hi3. theres no if or such. thats straight up welt from hi3
btw the one reading is the *Welkin girl*
I know it is a bit late, but i rewatched it and tought of something: akivili (aeon of The traiblaze) suddenly dissapeared. What if lumine and aether are akivili? Because they entered The world of teyvat and never left after
The guy on the left is probably void archives
at the end of you journey all that perplexes you and troubles you will resolve! this is you future that Elio has foreseen. do you like it?
The Harmony is definitely a hive mind and like inspired by biblical angels no doubt that or Hindu inspiration because I cannot fathom she not being inspired by one of those
I'm calling it right now either Kafka is one of her vessels or is her sister.
the only character from honkai impact 3rtd is welt he is the only connection so far and also "the finality" that appears in this trailer on the top right at 4:40 of this video
in 3:00 in left side thats the Void Archive
I've seen a lot of Honkai players do it and It's cool cuz some of the Aeons have some manner of gender expression (e.g. Nanook, Yaoshi, Xipe), but all of the Aeons are referred to with they/them. I think we should dispense with the logic of Archons from Genshin, because Aeons aren't gods so much as celestial entities that preside over an ideology.
My question is will there be a playable characters with the paths of beauty,remembrance, etc??
also the person who is voicng this is known as Black Swan
Could she be the walkin moon from genshin???
am i high or are there 18 Aeons or just 11? they mentioned there were 18
Also the guy in the erudition panel, the one with long wavey blonde hair looks like he is from honkai 3rd. Welt is also from Honkai Impact 3rd and another character with the imaginary element was with Welt when they entered the star rail
There are 15 in the trailer and 3 are dead i think
edit: i was wrong there _are_ 18 currently alive, it’s just that 3 aren’t featured in the trailer
The one who entered with Welt was Void Archives
These are all the 18 aeons-
The Destruction "nanook"
The Hunt "Lan"
The Erudition "Nous"
The Abundance "yaoshi"
The Nihility "IX"
The Preservation "Qlipoth"
The Harmony "Xipel"
The Elation "Aha"
The Voracity "Oroboros"
The Beauty "Idrila"
The Propagation "Tayzzyronth" (dead)
The Enigmata "Mythus"
The equilibrium "HooH
The rememberance "Fuli"
The Trailblaze "Akivili" (most likely dead)
The permanence "Long" (dead)
The order "Ena" (dead)
The finality "Terminus"
Tayzzyronth was defeated by a group of aeons, long was killed by lan, ena was consumed by xipel.
I agree with u on Nanook💀
Video: Erudition
Mina: Irrigation 💦💦💦
:modcheck: finality where
1:50 - Really? How would... that work though?... 💀
Probably… Fingers?
Lmao wouldn't it be funny if maybe One of the travelers (I'm taking Aether for an example because I play him) finished all his endeavors in Teyvat and traveled to the next world without Lumine (Because he probably defeated her) and his form would be the Stellaron inside the Trailblazers body? It doesn't help that when he and Lumine travelled together in the beginning, they were shooting yellow stars. Ahem Hoyoverse pls give me answers😃
If Kiana makes an appearance as a god i will lose my mind
Pretty sure she has years on the moon left till she can control her power. Who knows tho, Star Rail takes place in at least 2029 given thats when Welt first tried to cross over to this world. I dont think we have an exact year tho.
The only connection HI3 in HSR is welt.. cuz welt is from HR3....
Everyone forgets that Void Archives is also there 😭
Is that dark kiana
Does she not know the idea of Samsara?
mihoyo are cookin something
Yes
I have a tiny theory that the lady at the end could maybe be the greatest Sorceress of all time, known as Alice.
I would smash all of the Aeon's ngl, idk whats the problem
Aon of smashing
Well tbf Aha became an Aeon just by laughing so probably smashing someone would also make you an Aeon
ah yes dainslef 2.0
Honkai, Star Rail, and Genshin are on the same branche of the imaginary tree
first yay
WHY. IS. NANOOK. SO. DADDY?
i love that it's canonical that the aeons are non-binary and use they/them pronouns
No
The easiest explanation? This is a simulated universe thing. The nameless one is us, the Trailblazer and the video just shows the gods of the paths we chose at the star of or runs. So... Yeah, besides the lady in the end of the video, there is no big lore bomb or mistery
Pretty sure Hoyo Games always Connected though
