  • In honkai star rail, there are a total of about 20 or so aeons that function as the gods of the star rail setting. Each aeon is a creature born from concepts and ideals and each of them has the ability to shape the universe as they see fit. There is an aeon of elation, one for destruction and even one for beauty but where is the aeon of death in star rail?
    Despite the universe filled with all sorts of monsters and gods that cause the deaths of countless mortals, an aeon of death has not once been referenced. Is this because they are hiding or perhaps they just dont exists. This is what we'll be discussing in this video, if one exists where exactly is the aeon of death in star rail
    Some part of this video comes from the actual lore while others may be speculation on my part as we currently do not know the full story. 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.

    Finality or End is the closest we can have as Death even Nihility may count

      @mutedowo Місяць тому +10

      Also Finality is a broader concept then death. Death is the Finality of all creatures, but Finality doesn't all include death. and as we know from Ena the Order, if a broader path exists already the lesser one will be absorbed. Just my theory tho.

    I think everyone else probably thinks the same way, but i think the reason "Death" as a path doesn't outright exist is because of just how encompassing it is, which makes it pretty hard for anyone to ascend due to /just/ Death. The three closest to Death itself have very specific things and reactions that led to their ascension and focused more on that instead of "Death" itself (Lan focused on "revenge", Nanook focused on the fact "the world's a mistake needed to be rectified", and IX most likely ascended after given a glimpse of Finality and realizing "everything ends, so what's the point of living"). You could also say the same to its counterpart "Life" (not Abundance, that's different) as the Aeons closest to life have reasons of ascending that are quite different than simply focusing on "Life" (Tazzyroth was lonely so they ascended in order to not be, Yaoshi most likely was a healer/shaman of an ill-struck planet who ascended in order to prolong life, but not create it)
    If anything, "Death/Life" feels more like a primordial entity that exists beyond even the powers of Aeons (of which feel a bit closer to Lovecraftian Gods rather than actual full on Deities, especially with the part that they exist on another plane of existence and can actually be researched upon). Its all encompassing and neutral (while some Aeons could go either way depending on who sees it)

    Personally, I interpret the Aeons and their path as philosophies and way of thinking that answers the existential questions such as the meaning of life.
    For example :
    "Why are we alive ?"
    -To have as much fun as possible.(Elation)
    -To destroy everything.(Destruction)
    -To live as long as possible.(Abundance)
    -There is no point in asking this question.(Nihility)
    -To keep everything in the same condition as it was in the past.(Preservation)
    -To experience memories.(Remembrance)
    -To learn everything.(Erudition)
    -To thrive,reproduce and expand as much as possible.(Propagation)
    That's not all of the path. But you can probably ask different questions and get insightful answers form the various other paths.

    • @ShadowPhoenix82
      @ShadowPhoenix82 Місяць тому +2

      While as you said this is not an exhaustive list, when we consider how a being ascends, the greatest way for someone to find a core philosophical belief would be to obsess over that question: why exist?
      This is why I find Ruan Mei so beautiful and fascinating while everyone else just shallowly sees her as a villain: I see her as our only character really obsessed with this question and the one most likely on the path to the ascension she aspires to. Her Myriad Celestia always gets me a little emotional.

    Idk the Death sounds more narrow and less significant than concepts of total Destruction of everything, everything being erased from existence(Nihility) and the ultimate end of everything(Finality). Hunt is already about ending life(as a reaction to Abundance being unchecked) and I am satisfied with it.

    Considering Acheron's backstory with Tiernan, and her role as some sort of guide of the dead, it's likely that death is included in Nihility, which makes sense as death is just another form of nonexistence which is IX's domain. That could explain why there's no path or Aeon of death, as according to Herta, concepts that are already included in an existing path don't become paths of their own. It's why she was confused as to how Nanook could be born, as Destruction was already included in Finality. So it could be that so long as the path of Nihility exists, a path and Aeon of death will never emerge.
    Another explanation could be that death is simply spread over multiple paths. Remember, Aventurine said the Hunt, Destruction, and Finality all lead to the "same outcome" (that being death) when speculating which Aeon Acheron was an Emanator of. Likewise, there technically isn't an Aeon of "Life" either. We associate it with the Yaoshi the Abundance of course, but Long the Permanence and Tazzyronth the Propagation both have dominion over "Life" as well. So it could be a similar case with death, where no one path has complete ownership of the concept.
    The final explanation could be that there _WAS_ an Aeon of death, but it no longer exists. Aeons can be killed when similar or opposing paths collide. "Death" could have clashed with a Path of opposing philosophical concept and lost, or more likely, it got the Ena treatment and was assimilated into a newer, broader path when said path's Aeon ascended, likely IX.

      Yes, Acheron is Charon, and similar to a Grim Reaper figure. What would the Premium Mobile of an Aeon of Death even be if not another contradiction exactly the same as IX? i dont think there is enough "space" for another path so similar. Nihility is non-purpose and non-existance and death... well it's not the same, but the positive aspects of death are covered by the Hunt (renewal and so on like on the tarot cards), and the more agresive ones, by the Destruction.

    I don't ever expect an Aeon of Death since it would fundamentally oppose too many paths, Destruction, Nihility, Finality and these guys already have their own counter paths like Abundance, Elation, Permanence, so Equilibrium wouldn't be too fond of Death and what would make someone ascend as Death? Killing all, destruction, life is worthless, nihility, love for killing, elation, wanting to hunt and kill existence, Hunt, at best they'd be a path strider or emanator of an existing path.
    Also Voracity, can't even kill everything in a devourung sense without being a path strider

  • @kpp8349
    @kpp8349 Місяць тому +2

    First, the probable reason an aeon is forced to act ‘against their will’ in the way of the path they’re on is because while they’re at the head and exert the most influence on it the followers of that path exert enough influence on it that it also influences the aeon, so if all the followers started believing a slightly different belief about a path it will force that aeon to adhere to it too.
    The most likely reason for there not to be a aeon of death is most of what would be striders or believers of the path are following other paths that overlap what it would be like destruction and the hunt as you touched on at the end. It’s the same reason harmony consumed order. Enough people that could follow order followed harmony more

  • @KuonK
    @KuonK Місяць тому +2

    Notes & thoughts while listening..
    It's impossible to become an aeon of death. Because how can you embody death while being alive? (If you're dead, how would you ascend?) Aeons do come about from living mortals so far.
    Nihility is a philosophy about death but you can reach it while living hence, it is a realization. The paths seems to be more about the philosophy of life rather than the absolute end.
    Not to mention, if the writers were to make an aeon of death, it would become an absolute in the universe.. Like, "this" happens when you die. Sure, we can observe what happens when a body dies, but wouldn't it be gruesome to look at the corpse that remains when the spirituality is gone? (Not to mention the censorship laws in China probably interfering with the writers desire to impliment it.)
    In China in general, the topic of death in a non-spiritual sense is/was taboo. (At least among the older generation when I was there around 15 years ago. Maybe the newer generation got a different view now?)
    My summary, aeons are about the philosophy while death would just be the finish line for -any- path. Hence death isn't a path but the goal all path leads towards when every path is focusing on aspects of life and how you end up living yours. Like we don't have an aeon of birth that would be the start. So to me, the paths people in that universe walk, is just that, a traveling method to reach from the begining to the end, (Birth to death). Choose a bike, crawl or turbojet. Your call, just make a choice you wont regret.

  • @jessecarmelobelcina8814
    @jessecarmelobelcina8814 Місяць тому +2

    I may have a theory as to why there is no Aeon of Death.
    Firstly, we can separate paths into natural and life-form: natural being a law that exists at the very beginning of the universe (i.e. Nihility, Finality) and life-form being a path or philosophy that needs an existence of a life-form (i.e. Abundance, Hunt, Destruction, etc.).
    With thw dicision of the paths in mind we can already see why Destruction is not consumed by Finality is because both of the paths originate from different causes, Finality being a sort of a law and Destruction being a philosophy of a life-form.
    If you're still confused heres the rundown: Natural paths are laws that exists even without any observers (life-forms) whereas Life-form paths are philosophies that needed an observer to exist (as they cannot exist if an organism is non-existent)
    Now what does it have to do with Death? Well death does need an organism or a life-form to exist, it is also NOT a philosophy for it is natural for life to cease to exist, emphasis on the word cease meaning, the end of life is natural making either the Finality or the Nihility the representation of Death. Death cannot be a Life-form path for it is a natural consequence to life so the Aeon or even the Path of Death cannot coexist with the Hunt and the Destruction.
    With my explanation, we can also explain why Destruction is not consumed by Finality whereas Order was consumed by Harmony.
    Both Harmony and Order are Life-form Paths, making it so that the broadest path consumes the more specific path. Destruction and Finality on the other hand are different kinds of paths, Life-form and Natural respectively. Since they are two different types of paths, they cannot consume each other. Think of Order and Harmony as the main road and the sidewalk while Destruction and Finaliry being an intersection of two roads. One may seem to say that the sidewalk is part of the main road and two intersecting roads does overlap but you can distinguish the two.
    I may be yapping here but I do think that my theory stands firmly especially that the Aeons of the Natural and Life-form paths are non humanoid and humanoid respectively.

This could be the reason why death isn't a path, since other paths already take up and divide aspects of it among themselves. However, death doesn't encompass all that these paths represent.

Like I feel like if you're a murderer in star rail's universe there probably aren't many people that are killing just for the sake of it, so your motive might fall under one of the other aeons. and even if you were just killing to kill, wouldn't that be more nihilistic?

    In Genshin, death is a sort of one time loss of memory, as stated by the aranara. This is further explained by things like how Arlechino considers the children who drank her flame to be dead.
    What if Death in star rail is infinite dormancy? Like how the memory zone meme something unto death, which would mean something that is right before or something that leads to death. What if the same is true but in more of a finality sort of way. What if every aeon is an aeon of death in some way. As much as they represent their path they represent the “death” of another. The Hunt is built on justice and fairness while abundance is overflowing prosperity, they seem good/bad but always end in the death of each other. The enigmata is a death to history and memory while the remembrance is the death of forgiveness and freedom. If all the aeons are segments of a higher god, then they represent a balance.

    I think Death and Life are too broad of concepts to coalesce into paths. If paths are the limiting of Imaginary energy into specific, concrete realities (as I think they are), then perhaps they require too high of an energy state to remain singular conceptual entities. And thus, Death breaks down into Destruction, entropy (Nihility), intentional killing (Hunt), predation (Voracity), and the end of all things (Finality), not to mention other paths that feed into it in less direct ways such as Elation. Likewise, Life would manifest as reproduction (Propagation), health (Abundance), the defense of others (Preservation), and even, in the words of the classical philosophers, "the beautiful and the good" (Beauty and Harmony, respectively).

    An Aeon of Death is quite an intriguing thought, but also an unlikely thing for us to ever encounter, unfortunately.
    The Aeons don’t just represent a Path, they are solely devoted to that Path. Even the Aeon of Destruction cannot escape Destruction, and it’s very likely that they won’t try to escape it either, so for an Aeon of Death, being an entity devoted to Death, wouldn’t it be dead?
    I have this thought that the Abundance, being an Aeon that intentionally opposes Death in every aspect, that their Path of Abundance isn’t just a Path to stride on, but also a living entity itself, a sentient living Path. (Which would definitely fit in with it being the Path of Abundance) So in that sense, wouldn’t the Path of Death be … a dead Path? Not a fallen Path, but just … a Path that is sentient and deceased, but still exists. A Path made by the dead, for the dead, with the dead. In that case, only the dead would be aware of its existence, and well, I highly doubt we’ll ever be seeing it or ever hearing of it in that case.
    Death is an inevitability that even Immortality cannot avoid, sure it’s approach can be prolonged, and shortened in many cases.
    We call Death as an concept to understand how it works, and to understand how to work with it, or against it, or just to simply accept it as it is, or refuse it as much as we are able to. A concept to play with however one wishes to, but as a force of nature, it’s just an inevitable event to witness and experience. Forces of nature can be conceptualized to further understand these forces, but after understanding these very real concepts, is when we have to start dealing with them.
    The Aeon most closest to Death as a Force of Nature is definitely HooH the Equilibrium, controlling all of everything to maintain balance, they should definitely possess the power to influence and trigger Death as it feels needed, and to even pause and remove Death as it feels needed. To the Equilibrium, Death is a Force of Nature to utilize whenever necessary.
    The Aeon closest to Death as a Concept, is Aha the Elation. Elation and Tragedy are two sides of the same coin, Aha proved this concept by blessing the Mourning Actors with the Path of Elation, despite their attempts to argue against Elation. Death as a concept of loss, is something we understand and label as a complete Tragedy.

Yoashi oversees life, yes, but only when it comes to physical existence, and there’s much more to life than that. Veracity, Propagation, Harmony also contributed to the Aeon of life. On top of all this life and death are those two concepts so mined numbingly simple that they circle back in on each other, becoming broad in the process. It’s unclear if they’d get assimilate of do the assimilating, and I’m sure a certain Equilibrium doesn’t want to find out.

    I think death is simply TOO vague of a concept to actually form a path as it could very easily fall under destruction, nihility, and finality while directly opposing preservation and abundance. Death is destructive and nothing you do can truly stave it off forever making fighting it meaningless.
    The same goes for the existence of a aeon of life. Life fits comfortably with abundance, preservation, propogation, and maybe even voracity. But abundance is specificly humanity, preservation is simply preserving things alive or not, propogation is just creating more life, and voracity is consumption which life needs to do to survive.

    “Compels the aeon to act in the way that best exemplifies the path.” Are you sure this is right? Isn’t the primum mobile more along the lines of their own beliefs which they pushed themselves towards. You say they act like that ‘even if they don’t want to’, but I don’t think they even have the ability to NOT want to act like that.

    Yaoshi were referred as a god of life, so I guess Finality counted as death. However, since you mentioned that death is a part of life, the Abundance probably fits the bill. Since Abundance is more about lifecycle.

      Abundance is unfettered proliferation and semi-permanence. Yaoshi embodies the desire to be immortal and so that's what the Abundance stands for. I think death is an inevitable part of all of the paths in the HSR universe and this isn't only a consequence exclusive to Yaoshi.

    I think there is no concept of death because this concept either has been covered fully by another, broader path or has been covered by multiple narrow paths, which in result will be consumed by Aeon of Death. I, personally, think that Nihility fully covers Death like Harmony covers Order. Death is basically when your body and mind descend into nothingness and Nihility covers nothingness itself. In Star Rail often you can hear phrase "descend into nihility" representing death. Acheron herself give us a lot of reasons to think so. From 2.2 we can understand that Nihility is the last thing Family wants to be on Penacony. The only other thing that Family don't want to be on Penacony so badly is the Death itself. Also, from Acheron story we can understand that she, as Emanator of Nihility, helps those, who died with concerns to regain peace in hearts and in result descend into Nihility. Basically, I don't think that there are gods above Aeons, it's just us don't fully understand Aeons

    I think the Aeon of Death is Finality. For many Aeons have death as part of their concepts. But Finality is literally the End of the Universe. The Ultimate death of existence.

    To me, Finality is the weirdest representation of death. All things comes to an end, but they don't just die. What's the cause of death? What causes the end of everything? Only Terminus knows.

    Because of how I've seen it represented, I don't think Death would be a conception of evil. More of a fact or an idea of change. Most religions have a perception of Death as change and is what Death represents in tarot. So I think if we get an Aeon of Death, they'd more or less have to embody both "End" and "Change".

    I think death just on a higher level the others, also death it self is not evil as blade wish it up in himself and cant graps it. Now prof that death is not evil when I am older (41 now, but say 70+) I hope death coke to me on my sleep as I may be forgetting how to live or my body is too fragil to be able to keep me alive alone. So yeah death is not pure evil.

    It could be that Nanook absorbed the aeon of death, since their paths somewhat align. That could hint as why is Nanook such a threat.
    Also... if Nanook destroys everything, would they dissapear since their purpose is fufilled, or it would have to destroy itself? these dumb questions keep me awake at night

    Death as a living concept is also paradoxical, if it is an embodiment of death, why is it in essence "alive"? It will inevitably collapse on itself the moment it's conceived, but in doing so, it embodies it's concept perfectly. Maybe that is why it never truly have ascended to the point THEY have a cult of followers, but also has a constant presence in the entire universe. It seems the Primus Mobile is doing it's job in a sense for an Aeon of Death after all. It's existence is paradoxical because a Living Concept of Death is perpetually born and dying at the same time so it is ultimately fulfilling it's role as a concept in the universe. No one ever feels its ascension because the moment it ascends and follow it's path due to the Primus Mobile, It falls and is inevitably falls into the cycle and thus fulfills it's goal of being an Aeon of Death.
    A sad existence, never having devout followers nor Emanators, but it's influence is a constant existence in the universe.

    An aeon of death cant ezist because Destruction already encomporates Death, one would have to consume the other and Destruction is a lot more expansive than Death.
    Nihilism as a concept is too different to be Death even though thats what IX does to people.
    Finality does not nexessarily mean death as immortal beings will still be around etc. The end and death are not the same, un fact even in Impact 3rd, the herschers of Death and The End are 2 different people.
    But again, Destruction incorporates Death 100%. You cannot have the destruction og all things without the death of all things, but you can ha e death without destruction, and therefore Destruction usurps Death. Thats how the Aeons work.
    You can have Order without Harmony but you cannot have Harmony without Order. Etc.

      I was about to comment the same thing. If we consider that someone has to follow the believes of the path to an end result before ascending as an aeon, who would be able to pursue death and not die before succeding? Blade. What I mean to say is that any normal person would have died before ascending as the Aeon of death

  • @2sword
    @2sword Місяць тому

    I don't think the Primum Mobile truly forces the Aeon into anything... it's simply that becoming an Aeon means having your Primum Mobile as a core function or instinct. The Primum Mobile is by definition the -driving force-, the thing defining their Aeonhood... and the Aeon would see no interest in things that are irrelevant to its Primum Mobile.
    Death as an Aeon is just in a bad spot. It's minor when put next to Finality. It's not strongly defined by actions unlike Destruction, Hunt or Voracity... if it was defined by actions, then it would be something like 'Slaugther' and not 'Death'. It's then defeated by Nihility when it comes to the denial of mortal existence.
    So, in the same way that we have 'Abundance' instead of 'Life' we instead have the many ways 'Death' comes instead of 'Death'. The question and state of mortality is what that gives birth to all Paths, therefore Life and Death themselves do not become Paths. Why Preservere ? Why seek Erudition ? Why Propagate ? Why build Order ? Why Remember ? Why seek Elation ? Why define Beauty ? Why desire Abundance ? Why Hunt ? Why despair and believe in Nothing ? Why step forward and be the one to blaze a Trail ahead knowing your Final rest awaits ?
    The Paths are the ways life exist and define themselves knowing death eventually comes, so Death is everywhere.
