Don't forget that Architects also exist as interstellar group that follows Qlipoth. HSR haven't touch on them since Belobog, and they might be the key to unravel IPC and the secret of the iron throne that Ten-Stone hearts showed in the myriad celestia trailer.
Im curious how the architects will be introduced, I thought for sure wed meet them on belobog but it didnt happen. Maybe one day we might need to go beyond the bounds of the universe or past the wall qlipoth made and thats where they come in? Who knows but kinda curious about them
First sign we get is that Qlipoth doesn't even gaze a these people. The only pathstrider that aligns with Qlipoth is Diamond. In game all the 10 stone hearts have different path (except Adventurine) The IPC may have followed Qlipoth in the beginning, but not any more. Penacony may have been an elegory for the IPC in the endgame. A faction pretending to follow an Aeon, but secretly following another.
Keep in mind, the "Path" you see assigned to a character in their playable version of them, only tells of their role in a party and what Lightcones they can equip and what Path specific buffs they can benefit from. The playable character version of them's Path does not always equal their "Canon Path". For example, Bailu, as a playable character, is listed as an Abundance character, because her role in the party is to be a healer. While Bailu in the story clearly is not following the Path of the Plague's Author, as she is not being targeted to arrest like the members of Sanctus Medicus are hunted down. Of course, there are a few characters who's "gameplay Path" matches their "Canon Path". Like how Acheron's an Emanator of Nihility, and is also listed as a Nihility character as a playable character. Though, that may be a poor example for me to make, as although her powers come from the IX the Aeon of Nihility, she wants to kill THEM.
you might want to do your research again, there is canonically 2 confirmed emenator of preservation in IPC, Diamond and Taravan, so Diamond is not the only one
Aren't emanators supposed to be special?? Like.. Nous themselves only blessed a few people as Emanators. Furthermore, we don't know if Qlipoth actually gazes upon them since it's supposed to be RARE. It's like being surprised that having 6 fingers is actually dominant, but because it's SO RARE, only a few actually have it. We don't even know what Qlipoth actually stands for in terms of Preservation, but considering how DIAMOND is an Emanator and STILL ACTIVELY works within the IPC, It's really plausible that the IPC is actually doing Preservation but just not in the way we wanted or expected.
@@zigazav1Best theory ive seen that explains why gameplay paths and canon paths are sometimes different is because canon paths are the path they follow, but the gameplay path is their type in that path. For example, Bailu follows the Hunt, but in gameplay she's abundance. This is because while Bailu follows the hunt, she also heals and cures people, thus making her Hunt(path) Abundance(type). Another great example of this is Blade. While he follows Finality(path), he also really wants to off himself and destroy, making him Destruction(type).
Here's what I say: given what happened in Penacony with Ena and Sunday, and given some of the bad/questionable things that the IPC and some of its members have done and how indulgent some of them can be, I think it's entirely possible that half the IPC might actually be following Ouroboros and nobody (including other IPC members) know it. Look at what happened with Sunday, nobody (not even his sister Robin) knew what was actually going on with him.
Why do people always forget the fact that Jade literally said that “all for the amber lord” was “just a slogan” or smthing like that in the penacony quest 😭😭😭was that not huge??😭😭
Them not being devout followers of Qlipoth doesn't equal them following a whole another path. It can be just a slogan, but the faction as a whole could still be preservation aligned.
@@LeaksHater well I’m not saying they don’t follow preservation I think atleast some of them do but there’s def some voracity in there too imo… remember at the start of the game when a character said people can follow more than one aeon? Maybe it’s that idk
I remember something about Diamond and Taravan trying a hostile takeover of the IPC iirc, so if I were to make a theory of my own, let's say Oswaldo is a zealot, well, as we know from our own past, religious zealots can do some really terrible stuff in the name of their god, and we know that Oswaldo did some bad stuff to a few places. Maybe the Alliance labeled Taravan, and by extension Diamond, as not following Qlipoth because they go against Oswaldo, but in reality, they want to preserve the original ideal of the IPC, hence them partnering together against the zealot. But that's just a theory, a Star Rail theory.
I think (and i mentioned this towards the end) that diamond is only looking to preserve his own personal position and wealth. I think he doesnt care either way between qlipoths zealots and whatever the opposite group is and hes just trying to get whatever benefit he can. Thats why his stonehearts are loyal mostly to him and preservation second or at least thats how i intepret it 😁
i think it time we differentiate Qlipoth's Preservation and Preservation as a whole coz to different people Preservation can mean different thing which may not align with Qlipoth's preservation
@@xenoemblem7 bruh do i even need to spell it out for you something so simple to understand. - i said "to different people Preservation can mean different thing which may not align with Qlipoth's preservation" but it doesn't mean every person is opposite of Qlipoth, there will be people with their idea of preservation similar to Qlipoth and Diamond is likely one of those people. - But also this is a dumb question as we have very bare minimum info on Diamond so there is not even a real or correct answer to the question yet. In reality, aeon can made anyone they want into an emanator, IX doesn't bother doing anything and Acheron somehow become one or Aha making a worm into emanator for fun. So this question can't really be answer until we know more about diamond as a char and Qlipoth way of preservation
Not too long ago I was thinking about this and also thought voracity but I watched a video about how they might follow propagation and that makes sense too
I’ve seen a suggestion from another video that the Preservation might not be about protection but the Conservation of energy during transmutation as opposed to Entropy, the process of breaking down into chaos of the Deatruction
Thats true, im mostly characterizing him based on what the xianzhou mentioned though. They might believe he is a zealot that truly thinks he is preserving the universe but doesnt mean qlipoth believes so
@@Maevix3142 Xianzhou could be wrong. Just like how the data bank information could've been tampered by History Fictionologists, the alliance aren't omnipotent and know everything with 100% accuracy.
I've been having very similar suspicions that IPC is Voracity-alligned too. I would actually really want that to be the case, this Voracity and Ouroboros sound really cool to me and I want to learn more about them and the Dusk Wars and Leviathans.
Seems everyone wants to be gods, though if you become an aeon your kinda stuck following the rules of the path. Id personally rather just be an emanator
After this video my new theory is follower’s of preservation and voracity saw the destruction and struggles of the other paths order, propagation, hunt, abundance and rather then going to war with each other they decided to join forces for each other’s benefit Preservation puts restrictions on voracity but as long as they follow the rules they get to consume as much as they want Jade is potentially an example But maybe marketing development is voracity that wants to betray and destroy/ cripple preservation I think this becomes I’m pretty sure most of the most antagonistic preservation people are from marketing or could be argued that way investing in planet destroying weapons, skott is from marketing I think
Oswaldo seems like too much of a dick. Personally I think the stone hearts do worship the preservation. Their corner stones come from the body of the aeon itself? Not sure. And jade releasing Sunday so happily (even though it was a deal with robin) to me symbolizes the preservation having the order fulfilling the side of the bargain it never did. Oswaldo seems the greediest to me. What he has done to aventurine and boothills homes for the sake of harnessing riches is a red flag for me. (Could also be for the preservation). But honestly I could contradict the own points 10x and never get a solid answer. I think it’s a toss up.
Cornerstone are actually part of Qlipoth body,its Said on the game that when Qlipoth swing their hammer some shards of It fall and those strong can use their power
@@rickelmehanwinckel2699probably not, aventurine truly feels like destroying the whole world in his heart. That is directly opposed to the preservation. Even sparkle says he should have joined the masked fools which is something he considered as well.
I saw a video say they might be following the path of propagation which is why they endlessly consume and show very weird interest in the remains of propagation and Ruan Mei for her research
Don't the Stonehearts all say they explicitly don't care about profit or income? They care about getting results that get the IPC more resources, but they're happy to accept personal loss along the way.
The stone heart not really care about money But their desire and goal is relate with money because it need money to achieved So they need to make profit for IPC, their goal and desire only can be achieve through the support of ipc And ipc only support them if their existence is benefit ipc People is wrong if they think stone heart is people only care about money They just use money as a tool at all Money is not their desire and their goal
The three we have currently met do seem to have their own personal drive when it comes to accumulating wealth and there is something to be said about them being more focused on achieving diamonds goals rathen than just wanting money. Though that doesnt discount the other IPC members outside the stonehearts that value material wealth
Yup. The IPC are the REAL villains of Star Rail. No matter how many irl people are huge supporters of IPC employees, that doesn't change the fact that everyone in the IPC are corrupt in some way. The Stelleron Hunters are the anti-heroes of Star Rail. Sure, they're doing some messed up stuff a hero would never attempt, but from what I can see, none of them are corrupted by greed or selfishness. Some even act like normal people at times despite their amazing professions and skills. And not like the antagonists of a story. Everyone in the Stelleron Hunters all have an impossible wish of their own that they are willing to turn to Elio for aid, as they have no choice to be able to fulfill their goals
@@zigazav1 They're not really the Villains as a whole through. The IPC is just a Ends Justify the Means society. In order to save the most lives they base their actions on hard data, and researched probability. The issue is simply their scale. The IPC is massive, so of course corruption will seep in. Thing is the IPC plays such corruption to its own benefit as to benefit oneself often will require you to benefit the IPC as well. Making sure it's in oneself interest to Preserve what the IPC forges. Stelleron Hunters have never really been the antagonist of the story. It's pretty explicit that their actions are also an Ends Justify Means type deal.
being an emanator does not make one loyal to the path, acheron actively tries to resist nihility; the ipc higher-ups did everything but preserve; luocha (possible emanator?) wants to kill yaoshi
Luocha isnt an emanator, he is an usurper. To be an Emanator, you have to be a path strider first. Acheron is a special case, so are the Self-Annihilators.
I think nihility is a bit of a unique situation compared to the rest though with other emanators what weve been told is that the aeon is the one that takes interest in them so the individual may not be loyal to a path but likely resonates with it strongly
Ix didn’t give her power. She acquired it by coming close to it and surviving. The aeon of nihility doesn’t show favor to anyone because it simply doesn’t care and is Uber depressed. Emanators must follow some sort of guideline otherwise the aeon can just take the power back. Aha does this for fun just to prove that point
The ideology of preservation itself conflicts with the essence of corporatism. + As we were shown in the Argenti quest - ordinary workers of the corporation are somehow indifferent to the Aeons. It can also be said that the corporation does not follow the path of preservation, but there are representatives of true supporters of preservation in it. Perhaps, unconsciously, the corporation began to lean towards Voracity.
To be honest I dont really watch HSR lore videos or frequent lore subreddits because I dont really want to accidentally copy an idea but this sort of thing is inevitable, eventually everyone will have similar ideas. I've had another youtuber comment here before mentioning they had a similar idea to another video but having similar ideas at least means theres some stock to the idea right 😁
I think, the only IPC character so far that really sticks to preservation is Aventurine. He developed a cunning and selfish personality because he needed it to survive, but deep down he was a good person.
Wait im confused. If Diamond is actually an Emanator of Ouroboros, why would the Cornerstones hold the power of Preservation? Is it possibly the fragments containing the powers of Preservation, so Diamonds full "Stone" can hold the powers of Voracity but still be thought to be of Preservation?
well if stonehearth is contains Voracity power, that will not a problem. also, we dont even know voracity power. if ita power includes using power that it was consumed, maybe the original diamond was eaten and his power is used by the fake diamond
I have to ask y'all forget that Jade and Aventurine are the patient characters in penacony. He broke the stone, gave it to Sunday, and waited to be "betray" by Ratio. It is literally stated that the best cuality of Jade is her patient. I don't know where it comes from that the 10 stoneheart we know are reckless, but it is not.
Neet theory ... but what about is Self Presevation ? Cant recall where i hear ,but the gest is possible some Aeon may change path, like Traiblaze to Finality
Self preservation is indeed a possible intepretation of how the IPC conduct themselves and I did include it towards the end as qlipoth might really just be protecting themselves but it just looks like they are helping others
Im guessing because other board members may also be unrevealed emanators, diamond is indeed one but Taravan is also mentioned to be an emanator as well so perhaps at the very top is also an emanator but they differentiate between each other through seniority, as in theres an emanator up there thats been one longer than Taravan or Diamond
You can interpret Voracity as mindless greed, but you would be sorely mistaken to take such a shallow interpretation of the Drinker of Worlds’ actions. Your transgressions will not be forgotten- vengeance will be mine!
hear me out. How if Voracity power is not just Consume, but also can uses power that was Consumed. So maybe original Diamon was eaten by Voracity Emanator, and by this extension, He can aslo uses Diamonds's Perservation power
Or any power/person that was consumed is reborn into another version of that power/person, because Ouroboros by name is reprensting "Rebrith" instead of Consumption.
You mentioned a couple of times that IPC might be empowering Ouroboros in this video, but I want to ask for clarification: Do followers of the path empower the Aeon? I don't exactly recall this. If anything Genshin has mentioned this idea about Archons and their followers, though it's validity has been questioned.
Eeeeeeh. I agree that there may be a link between the IPC and Ouroboros. But your argument about Taravan and Diamond not following Qlipoth is reliant on the fact 1. They are in an alliance 2. They're opposed to Oswaldo Schneider. 3. The 10 Stonehearts do not behave like followers of Preservation However, I don't think that's really valid. We don't know about Diamond. Even if he's a fanatic of Preservation, Oswaldo Schneider has done a lot of questionnable things in its name as well. I don't understand why you're mentioning the questionnable behavior of the IPC, except for Oswaldo Schneider. Look at Aventurine and Boothill's backstory. So maybe Diamond is opposing Oswaldo because of other reasons than just their path...
Its also the fact that the xianzhou alliance doubts whether Taravan is even a follower. Diamond is a toss up ill give you that because even at the end I mentioned that diamond could just be out to benefit himself alone but I got suspicious of taravan more because of what the xianzhou's records mention about him
Qlipoth doesn't even acknowledge the IPC's existence. He's only blessed two people in that entire organization as his Emanators. Diamond we know is a confirmed Emanator because his power that he gives to the Stonehearts does have Preservation's power in it (as we saw with Adventurine) but the other Emanator in the IPC we only know because people told us. However the entire culture of the IPC doesn't reflect Preservation in the slightest. No that's an organization that follows the Voracity and I'm sure that the more interstellar minded Architects would called the IPC either heretics or blasphemers for using Qlipoth's name and image as their Aeon yet do nothing to follow it at all. The way they do business, coerce planets into slavery, squeeze entire systems dry, devour countless cultures only to replace them with their own, and focus only making the most money they can by any means available screams Voracity.
It initially was but I wanted that oroboros video to talk more about oroboros and voracity itself like what else it could mean outside of greed or gluttony so I kinda split ended up splitting into seperate videos 😁
Don't forget that Architects also exist as interstellar group that follows Qlipoth. HSR haven't touch on them since Belobog, and they might be the key to unravel IPC and the secret of the iron throne that Ten-Stone hearts showed in the myriad celestia trailer.

I have to ask y'all forget that Jade and Aventurine are the patient characters in penacony.
He broke the stone, gave it to Sunday, and waited to be "betray" by Ratio.
It is literally stated that the best cuality of Jade is her patient.
I don't know where it comes from that the 10 stoneheart we know are reckless, but it is not.
Tbh they kinda follow preservation with money, because if the world is own by the ipc no more wars could happen
Neet theory ... but what about is Self Presevation ? Cant recall where i hear ,but the gest is possible some Aeon may change path, like Traiblaze to Finality
Self preservation is indeed a possible intepretation of how the IPC conduct themselves and I did include it towards the end as qlipoth might really just be protecting themselves but it just looks like they are helping others
a youtube she learn about what this aeon is, forgot channel name
I'm curious as how Diamond isn't the #1 on IPC since he has their Aeon's power 🤔 like shouldn't he be calling all the shots?
@@xenoemblem7 why? The ipc It is not divided by strenght
Think about it like Irl, the manager isnt gonna win a fist fight against a boxer but the boxer isn't in charge
Diamond isn't the only Emanator of Preservation tho there are others such as Taravan Keane and a few others
Im guessing because other board members may also be unrevealed emanators, diamond is indeed one but Taravan is also mentioned to be an emanator as well so perhaps at the very top is also an emanator but they differentiate between each other through seniority, as in theres an emanator up there thats been one longer than Taravan or Diamond
You can interpret Voracity as mindless greed, but you would be sorely mistaken to take such a shallow interpretation of the Drinker of Worlds’ actions. Your transgressions will not be forgotten- vengeance will be mine!
hear me out. How if Voracity power is not just Consume, but also can uses power that was Consumed. So maybe original Diamon was eaten by Voracity Emanator, and by this extension, He can aslo uses Diamonds's Perservation power
Or any power/person that was consumed is reborn into another version of that power/person, because Ouroboros by name is reprensting "Rebrith" instead of Consumption.
You mentioned a couple of times that IPC might be empowering Ouroboros in this video, but I want to ask for clarification: Do followers of the path empower the Aeon? I don't exactly recall this.
If anything Genshin has mentioned this idea about Archons and their followers, though it's validity has been questioned.
Eeeeeeh. I agree that there may be a link between the IPC and Ouroboros. But your argument about Taravan and Diamond not following Qlipoth is reliant on the fact
1. They are in an alliance
2. They're opposed to Oswaldo Schneider.
3. The 10 Stonehearts do not behave like followers of Preservation
However, I don't think that's really valid. We don't know about Diamond. Even if he's a fanatic of Preservation, Oswaldo Schneider has done a lot of questionnable things in its name as well.
I don't understand why you're mentioning the questionnable behavior of the IPC, except for Oswaldo Schneider. Look at Aventurine and Boothill's backstory.
So maybe Diamond is opposing Oswaldo because of other reasons than just their path...
Its also the fact that the xianzhou alliance doubts whether Taravan is even a follower. Diamond is a toss up ill give you that because even at the end I mentioned that diamond could just be out to benefit himself alone but I got suspicious of taravan more because of what the xianzhou's records mention about him
Oroboros ate their files and informations xD
It would not be out of character for Oroboros 😂
Qlipoth doesn't even acknowledge the IPC's existence. He's only blessed two people in that entire organization as his Emanators. Diamond we know is a confirmed Emanator because his power that he gives to the Stonehearts does have Preservation's power in it (as we saw with Adventurine) but the other Emanator in the IPC we only know because people told us. However the entire culture of the IPC doesn't reflect Preservation in the slightest. No that's an organization that follows the Voracity and I'm sure that the more interstellar minded Architects would called the IPC either heretics or blasphemers for using Qlipoth's name and image as their Aeon yet do nothing to follow it at all.
The way they do business, coerce planets into slavery, squeeze entire systems dry, devour countless cultures only to replace them with their own, and focus only making the most money they can by any means available screams Voracity.

Man bruh is cooking 😂
He was right about the Penacony storyline, I'm pretty sure he's the true head of the Divination Commision
Its either spot on or itll be absolute garbage of a theory, there is no in between 😂
Themselves
Couldn't you just include this in the Oroboros video?
It initially was but I wanted that oroboros video to talk more about oroboros and voracity itself like what else it could mean outside of greed or gluttony so I kinda split ended up splitting into seperate videos 😁
Hooh
Long video of 15 minutes, my guy, do you think I have better stuff to do?
Its not often, most of my videos are well below that timing. Though the next one coming out is much longer 😂
