The Fall Of The Highcloud Quintet | Honkai Star Rail Lore

- The highcloud quintet were once a group regarded very highly by the entirety of the xianzhou alliance. They were functionally the A-team and with jingliu as their leader there was no battle they couldnt win, no foe they couldnt defeat. However, their current state is far from the legends they were once regarded as and the fall of the highcloud quintet happened literally overnight.
So in this video we are going to talk about the events that caused the highcloud quintet to fall from grace and the lead up to where we are in the current storyline as well as who was really behind it all. Some part of this video comes from the actual lore while others may be speculation on my part. As such take it with a grain of salt as the point of this video is just a deeper dive into Honkai Star Rail lore.

I’m obsessed with high cloud quintet lore. I know most, if not all of it. Tbh I feel like one of the saddest parts is that Jing Yuan basically had to watch his friends leave one by one and his group fall apart and when they finally return they all started arguing. Though, I don’t think their story is anywhere near over js yet
The saddest thing for jingyuan to me was that he was technically the youngest among them and its almost like a young kid seeing his family break up but knowing he cant do anything about it. I dont think theyre story is over especially with jingliu going on her secret mission
Some of my favorite lore of the story, thanks for continuing it!
Thank you Lord Aizen 😁
Bailu is missing in this Theory but other than that, i agree with your observations. Well done!
I made that into a whole other video 😁
what are your thoughts on the baiheng drama? i heard it messed up quite a bit with the quintets lore.
I think the biggest issue was Blades involvement, everything about his backstory told us that it didnt make sense for him to be involved with all this
I'm sorry but this video is so premature and largely filled with speculation and borderline misinformation. I could write about this for hours but I'll just make a few important points:
1. There is a Vidyadhara Egg that literally tells us that the preceptors are responsible for the sedition. It's the egg that mentions Glaciator Marum. A preceptor says "You advise the high elder to unleash her wrath, and impose punishment on your peers who instructed the Sedition of Imbibitor Lunae on the Luofu." Not to mention the preceptor assembly chronicle fragment has the preceptors lying out their asses (mostly looking at you, Taoran). The motive is clear: "She wants to take advantage of [Missing] being cut off to completely replace the High Elder position with the Preceptor Council." This is also why they want to assassinate Bailu, because her presence abolishes the council by default.
2. Jingliu has basically no idea what she's talking about. She turned up to the sedition late. She makes assumptions about everything constantly, even in the present regarding her limited knowledge of DH. She didn't even offer anything to Baiheng from her at her supposed 20 minute 'funeral' she didn't find the time to make before during her year+ of mourning post sedition. This woman still has her as her phonecase 800 years later and she didn't make a single offering of her own? Suss.
We even have new evidence that JY engaged in combat with JL at the sedition. It's a flicker frame I found while watching the cutscene at 0.25x speed but it shows JY using lightning lord to attack JL in the location with the mountains and the flags - distinctly different from the location where he fought her during The Flash. It tells us with certainty that they're still far from telling us the whole truth.
3. JL so so so clearly is bullshitting all of this jail nonsense as part of her plan with Luocha. Even JY calls them both out on it. Whatever they're after requires them both getting arrested.
4. The very idea that YX would participate in a plan to resurrect Baiheng is ludicrous. He was proud to be a short-life and wanted to go out in a blaze. Baiheng's death is literally the ideal ending for him, not to mention he was also nearing the end of his own lifespan at the time and would have little motivation to resurrect her.
5. The idea that Dan Feng, THE representation of CN culture in HSR, would engage in resurrecting the dead (a giant taboo in CN) is also laughable. It would be character assassination. Implying he cares more for this one pilot than the millions of other lives lost in the wars. So much so that he would do something that resulted in 5000 of his own kind permanently dying and many more regular cloud knights during the act. Right. That just isn't going to be the case. They would anger the CN community too much - infact, they already have by implying it in this patch.
6. The idea that the abomination is Baiheng is also bizarre. It's a half draconic abomination. 50% Draconic, 50% abomination. Abominations refers to abundance denizens. Given the way the camera pans over the dragon root while Jingliu talks about DF's sins, I think I know where the 50% abomination came from. It was also probably possessed by Shuhu, like Rahu was, because of the way it reminded Jingliu of Rahu. Not to mention it's literally in Dan Heng's name where Dan = Red and Heng = eternity while also being a moon reference of Chang'e (originally called Heng'e) so his name literally means eternal red moon. So if he's not the draconic part of half draconic abomination I might eat my hat (or at least his azure dragon should be - and really think about this why didn't Dan Feng use his dragon to fight the abomination?? Could it be the abomination WAS his dragon?? Hmm). Baiheng has literally nothing to do with hallowed blood, the blood of my race, or the soul of my ancestor.
"But why would DF say he was making a new HE??" probably because he was victim to dragon delirium/shuhu corruption and wanted to find a way for vidyadhara life to continue. He was unsuccessful and his efforts largely amounted to nothing. Even the eventual success of the Bloomborn Scion (Bailu) is barely a victory because she is a miracle that they can't replicate so.
"But Jingliu says-" and what does Jingliu know?
Dayum that's huge 😂 comment anyway I appreciate your determination towards lore
why tf yall ppl try to always make it as if a character has to represent a country just cuz they were inspired by that culture. if u make ur country ur whole personality ur pretty shallow. ur nationality doesnt define ur personality. it doesnt have to follow ur rules, its fictional and not ur work.
such fking sensitive woke ppl. cant enjoy one thing in peace. ofc he cares abt ''that one pilot'', cuz it was his fking close friend.
@@totoro413 It's not about representing the culture, rather explaining that resurrection is a major taboo in the east and not glorified as something desirable/romantic/etc like it is in the west. This difference in ideology is religious in nature and connected to the reincarnation idea, where resurrection can ruin the cycle of the body and/or the soul and cause some disaster. It's considered a dessecration of the dead, unlike in the west where you are simply bringing someone back from the eternal afterlife. This is why characters like Jingliu find the idea of resurrecting someone so abhorrent, which matches with an eastern perspective of the situation, and also affects how these characters are perceived in CN (Hoyo's primary audience.) I don't believe they want Dan Heng to be viewed as an actually villainous character, so I don't believe the resurrection narrative is the actual truth.
I actually agree with this. The next story will be centered on the alliance again, so I hope we get more stories on this.
so she's a kamikaze pilots
More like super reckless, no was im gonna die type of pilot 😂
