lolllll

[@Ratterer]

I mean there's a world quest in penacony about how the IPC destroyed 7 planets and killed billions of people with a nuclear weapon just for funsies when the intended use of the weapon was to destroy the antimatter legion/annihilation gang The guy who created the weapon refused to make another one nor give them info on how to recreate it so they held him captive for the rest of his life, and the second he died extracted his memories using memoria to try and take it forcibly. He was so insistent on them never letting it happen again that his consciousness held on and he remained trapped in the dreamscape under watch for multiple decades until you help him escape and set him free That quest shows really well (along with the loading screen about the ipc) that them doing everything "for qlipoth" is a giant lie they make even their own employees believe. They don't actually follow the preservation and actively go against qlipoth's beliefs, but keeping up that facade is in their best interest to make themselves look better

[@katefiles2214]

which quest is that?

[@Ratterer]

@@katefiles2214 it's called "The Trees At Peace"

[@alaeus2310]

It’s a pretty well known theory that the IPC actually follows/has been usurped by Ouroboros (the voracity) and keeping up the facade of the Preservation for PR purposes. The fact that Qlipoth granted their blessing unto a tiny planet abandoned for centuries, and the first antagonist of said planet once they returned to the galactic stage was THE IPC should speak volumes.

IPC After committing the worst war crimes known to man : It's all for the amber lord 🗣🗣

[@MikeCastle166]

That's probably one of the reasons why qliloth ignores them

[@liltee2996]

Respect the hustle tho

[@LimitxKing]

fun fact about the IPC, they're the ones giving us the daily training and rewards for doing them. If you click the icon in the bottom left corner you will see it is the IPC

[@PositiviteaTheFirst]

While you're technically right, its Diamond who overall leads the Strategic Investment Department while the Ten Stonehearts are the directors that lead the individual teams within the department. The Ten Stonehearts draw their power directly from Diamond's Emanator power which was indeed bestowed upon him by Qlipoth.

you forgot one of IX's follower The Procrastinator they say they will introduce them self _later_

[@jaxwilliam7010]

Babe...wake up..the lore goat drop another banger

[@gazakana]

I love how even factions on the same path have more nuance that just "hello fellow friend" and actually have a twist on their personal beliefs, just like religions in reality Is particularly interesting to me how the ipc view the arquitects in belobog as "outdated" or "primitive", taking advantage of them or moking them, just like the aventurine opinion about our lance, when in reality belobog is a true follower of the preservation, more than the ipc is in the present, it gives so much life to the world

[@danielandrade483]

Ok but how do I know if YOU are not a History Fictionologist? That example you gave of a metaphor was way too good.

[@MrLoreAddict]

I can assure you that I've never refused to not implement fiction (or non-fiction) in my videos 🙂

[@ameliedewitte]

I'd recommend adding sections in your video so people can hop between all the different factions and go back to the factions they want to learn about again

[@MrLoreAddict]

Thanks for the suggestion, I added the chapters just now!

[@ameliedewitte]

@@MrLoreAddict ur amazing tysm!!!

The fact than anti fans and haters are a crucial part of paths and aeons system is so funny to me.

[@Atalante241]

This was a really helpful watch, thanks for posting this!

[@foxtrothermite6499]

Nice video! Also, if no one minds this, I just came up with an Alignment Chart for the factions: Lawful Good: -Xianzhou Alliance -Belobog (Post-Cocolia) Neutral Good: -Astral Express Chaotic Good: -Galaxy Rangers Lawful Neutral: -The Family True Neutral: -Genius Society Chaotic Neutral: -Stellaron Hunters -Masked Fools Lawful Evil: -IPC Neutral Evil: -The Swarm Chaotic Evil: -Annhilation Gang -Antimatter Legion Anyways, these are just thw factions I am somewhat confident fit into their alignment, I'd like to hear what other people think are the alignments of the factions not mentioned, or try to correct me here in case I made a mistake.

[@danielhakim9485]

Another addition to True Neutral: Garden of Recollection Chaotic Neutral: Masked Fools

[@foxtrothermite6499]

​@@danielhakim9485 Oh, Masked Fools I would definitely agree, definition of Chaotic 😂 Garden of Recollection however, you could make a case of them having Lawful Neutral alignment instead

[@AnuUprety-w7e]

IPC is lawful neutral. There are evil people in the faction but there are also good people. The ipc as a whole is needed for connecting many planets in the universe. The IPC is also very divided with many different factions in it.

[@asaasa7900]

@@AnuUprety-w7e The IPC is as an organisation genocidal and one of, if not the most murderous forces in the universe, it doesn't matter how much connection or good they do in comparison to the bad, maybe the Antimatter Legion or the Swarm are worse, but the IPC is VERY fitting as being evil, they probably have a death toll at LEAST in the 10 billions, if not to the hundreds of billions.

[@nacereddinechallal4405]

Owlbert is canon ; remember that event where someone apeared wearing his costume?

[@rarusbackyard119]

Nice video! Though I think I wouldn't call IPC "Natural/Ally" IPC hurt so many planets, civilazations and people so I think the cooperation is straight up evil imo

[@Angel-Neo]

for the Astral express right now the IPC is an ally, so it's rigth to put them as an ally even if some member make bad acts

[@rarusbackyard119]

@@Angel-Neo Its not some members thing though IPC is a Capitalistic cooperation that would destroy/use/exploit any world if it was to their benefit

[@MrLoreAddict]

I meant it more like something along the lines of: "These factions won't try to destroy the universe if given the chance" kind of deal. Every faction has their questionable/dark sides (with varying degrees of course)

[@firstservantofmumeiguardia6963]

IPC is not a villain, but they will seek fortune everywhere it's possible, rather the destruction, they seek preservation of all kinds of lifeforms is any kind of form, including currency

[@messmass2573]

Ally =/= Friend, Sworn Ally. Used in war/combat situation where betrayal is everyday occurrences. I think the word choice in the video is already apt.

[@karnifall]

I love the lore of this game

[@keykirsten]

Great video!

[@CanShades]

Acheron is part of the Riddlers, because she refuses to comunicate in any way other than metaphors, and I hate it.

[@xXSonyKilerXx]

It's really cool we get to fight the borisin as of 2.4

[@merigoldi]

Awesome video !

[@Lokitty719]

Well, Owlbert actually appears (and argues with Boothill, during the event, at the event) as part of the 2.5 Wardance. He has a puppet with his head on it. So yup, Owlbert and Keeping Up are technically canon!

[@sardinepresto6115]

this is very to the point! thanks!

Thank you for making this, i had a lot of nods made with trying to interdimensionally line up all the factions connections with each other By the way sorry to be that person but what is the soundtrack you used during the intelligentsia guild bit?? If its not a bother

[@MrLoreAddict]

The soundtrack is called: "Cosmic Sacrifice for Love" - Honkai Star Rail OST

[@Osis-nt9ex]

"Which is... ABUNDANTLY clear" Looks at you aggressively/j

[@AmemuraRamuda0214]

An amazing and accurate lore video that’s well written and entertaining??? And you gendered the aeons correctly??? I love everything about this video. People talking about the lore but calling any aeon she or he are ignoring the lore and how they are all so far above humans. Human norms cannot be applied to them. Overall, amazing videos and I really want to hear you go into more depth about the Masked Fools and maybe a lil about the Mourning Actors as well.

[@veezerrscharnhorst]

6:53 this line has rotted my brain

[@binavandepoll]

Would the trailblazer be an eminator of any path they obtain?

[@MrLoreAddict]

The Trailblazer has received gazes from Nanook, Qlipoth and Xipe, but that's more like those Aeons noticing Trailblazer's existance. So I wouldn't say Trailblazer is an Emanator since we haven't been directly given power by them, we just draw power from their paths.

[@binavandepoll]

@@MrLoreAddict Talking about Aeons, do you think that the remembrance is going to clash with the preservation since the remembrance is about PRESERVING memories while preservation about preserving everything

Where's the Device of IX?

[@Aizen2468]

I gotta say, the Harmony and Family is the most disappointing. An entire massive story arc, and by the end of it, the only single character that we got that actually follows that path truly, is Robin :,( I had honestly wished to see more Family characters. And the story seems to insinuate were done with the Family now

[@faraday3683]

On the contrary- this storyline has opened up many possibilities of seeing Family members at future planets. We now know more about the Family, so we won’t need an exposition dump when we encounter them again. Unlike the IPC, the Family isnt evil. Its just the Order’s corruption. I have no doubt that we will encounter more members of the family, in their proper role of helping people.

[@AnuUprety-w7e]

Alfalfa does. He might be business minded but, he does have the interest of harmony.

[@skistorm739]

Its not a multiverse and world = whole solar system = a whole galaxy
