The Complete Story of Swarm Disaster (Honkai: Star Rail Lore)

Herta's new addition to the Simulated Universe- Swarm Disaster presents its story in a very fragmented manner although from many different perspectives. From Aeons like Aha The Elation, to kings, soldiers and bounty hunters that fought in The Propogation Tayzzyronth's Swarm Disaster. Here's my attempt at summarizing the story of Swarm Disaster which involved the Aeon Tayzzyronth (The Propogation), Aeon Ena (The Order) and Aeon Oroboros (The Voracity), HooH (The Equilibrium), Terminus (The Finality), Qlipoth (The Preservation). I hope you enjoy the video :D

I feel like it might be a metajoke of sorts. Aha is the Aeon of Elation. They are fundamentally tied to the concept of Elation; joy, laughter, fun. in a meta sense, Star Rail itself follows the Path of Elation, being a video game designed for the player to have fun. Aha knows the Simulated Universe isn't real, because the real Aha knows _the universe as a whole isn't real_

[@theglobalwarming6081]

@@EeveeMaster547 I also find it interesting that the MC can also break the 4th wall. We are given the "And whose POV is this?" prompt at the end of 2.1. It appears MC knows that they're in a game, like how Aha knows he's simulated. I think MC will one day become an Emanator of Elation, not just a pathstrider. In fact, I think elation fits their actions more than trailblaze.

[@Doflaminguard]

Its actually logical for Preservation to interfere with Propagation destroying things. Its also logical for Preservation and Order to work together since both paths arent in conflict but could help each other.

[@farukmehmethanelmas8382]

Indeed, you can even say that Aeons can indirectly act differently than their path dictates as long as it is still for the greater purpose of the path. Propagation started eating and destroying everything even though that was mainly the role of Voracity. Preservation literally killed another Aeon, for the sake of preservation. So who knows maybe there are some cheat codes that allow Aeons to still have a free will without really outright rejecting the rules of their path. Nanook may have become the Aeon of Destruction, but perhaps even that action has a different meaning. Who knows maybe if either Abundance, Hunt or maybe both of them die Equilibrium will have to balance the scales to get rid of Destruction in some way.

[@WhaleMilk]

Okay cool little note I want to add on here: 8:38 you say that Tayzzy's death was predetermined at their birth, but how it's worded in the text turns it the other way around. Terminus's whisper says that Tayzzy's birth was predetermined at it's death ("their death predetermined their birth" is how it's written in Sand King 1) which is backwards until you consider that to Terminus, Tayzzy's death came first, their birth second. Just a neat little detail that I noticed. Also, it is heavily, *heavily* implied that Akivili's death has more to do with Fuli and IX than it does HooH. It's also implied that Ena's disappearance was a mutual agreement between Ena and Xipe that one was to be absorbed into the other, although Ena still has full cognitive autonomy within Xipe. Either way, HooH's involvement in all of this is undeniably huge. It almost feels like this whole debacle was a small moment in a larger chess game between Terminus and HooH. This is a very nice interpretation, though. I will 100% be using this as reference for the future in order to stay sane as I do my own investigations into this beast.

[@noahi.1381]

It's very likely Ena is one of the main contributors to Xipe's eerie harmony of voices, particularly in just how UNSETTLINGLY SATISFYING it sounds to hear.

[@adriantepes4355]

@classic5040 All the aeons and emanators are capable of travelling and accessing the imaginary space and energy. Reason why HooH and Terminus are scary is because unlike the other aeons they actively affect the flow of events in the story. Finality decides the end and HooH as seen in the ascensions is actively affecting the reality around you

[@adriantepes4355]

@classic5040 Herrschers can do all that on a smaller scale. They're having authority over concepts but they are not one with the concepts itself. Viz. Kiana's finality has shown no feat above planetary levels while Nanook embodies the whole idea of entropy death. His philosophy is "creation is useless and hence all of existence must be gone". There's also HooH who controls literally everything that happens. It's highly likely that he also controls the Herrschers since those beings are also living entities. Anything that a Herrscher does may or may not affect the universe and infact they mostly affect their own world or a couple other worlds at most. Anything that an aeon does can and will affect the universe itself

[@jonong3836]

(I am just going to note my observations and my understanding, correct me if I am wrong. I use the CN dialogue of the game so some things might be wrong.) 2:57 Something interesting to note: the woman did not "lose" her child to the swarm, but rather, it is HEAVILY implied her child was actually an insect. Ingame texts mention how the rate of childbirths increased dramatically, and that these "newborns" would fly away. Which means The Propagation can affect not just insects, but any organism that is capable of reproduction. 4:00 As the disclaimer at the beginning mentioned, some information obtained from the Simulated Universe should be taken with a grain of salt. Herta expresses doubt at the idea that Fuli was born during the Swarm Disaster due to it "being too logical". But of course, we don't really know the truth. (Just a reminder to everyone) 4:37 This is somewhat misleading. It is mentioned ingame that Ouroboros actually disappeared in the midst of this for unknown reasons. Additionally, Aha is CONFIRMED to be present. According to Aha, they wanted to "help Ena". Aha also invited Akivili to join in (Akivili joined due to Tayzzyronth and the Swarm interrupting the Trailblaze). Ena on the other hand is mentioned to have disappeared too. Ena and the Order was absorbed into Xipe and the Harmony. Aha eventually found Xipe, and invited them to join their fight against Tayzzyronth, to which Xipe agreed. 8:04 If I remember correctly, Nanook was born due to the Swarm. Although Tayzzyronth died, the Propogation (the Path) and the Swarm still exist. The Swarm infested a certain planet which Nanook was from. I am not sure if Nanook has any relation with Yaoshi (correct me if I am wrong).

@@idontspeakjapanese6289 there is no 'special' type or so to speak. Every aeon's inherent strength and/or influence upon the universe is predetermined by their corresponding paths.

doesnt that mean Elio follow the finallity path? as they know what happend in the future?

[@LARPing-Wolf]

That makes it more interesting.

[@noahi.1381]

It's more likely Elio is trying to go AGAINST the Finality path even though they have Finality's blessing, kinda like how Mourning Actors don't like Aha of Elation even though they have his blessing.

[@CatWithBlueHat]

Terminus, HooH and IX fall at central when considering if they are good or bad. Terminus is just an observer, HooH just keeps a balance and IX is IX (fr) Aha's place is debatable.

[@dontshitontravelermains5498]

Mythus being on the benevolent side is very much questionable imo and IX really doesn’t belong to any sides.

[@exile_kzk]

Pretty sure it just being bocchii It is self doesn't mean harm

[@dohnaseek]

IX is definitely not malevolent. It literally just a sad floating blob (black hole?) that "kills" everything near it without any malicious intent. Leaving them alone wont do any harm to any planets or galaxies. Meanwhile yaoshi is debated to be "good or bad" bcs her blessing prolongs life but usually the immortal beings ended up destroying/invading planets for resources bcs they ran out of resources from their own planet

I think elio is aware of terminus's involvement and that is why he is finding stellaron so he can stop him from manipulating the entire universe or he has witnessed terminus's action before and wants to put an end too it and has tried alot of time and is why referred by "destiny's slave"

[@mystrknwital9146]

Rather than involvement, I think Terminus just witnessed it. Also, I think Elio is actually an emanator of Terminus. He can see possible futures which no other Aeons can do except for Terminus.

[@llyexelxia3997]

I think Harmony is the Counterpart for Destruction And of course Hunt for Abundance Idk Harmony gives that eerie feeling where they seem good but REALLY REALLY suspicious. I Feel like Nanook Existed because Harmony got Stronger after Ena was absorbed

[@adriantepes4355]

Harmony didn't get stronger, Xipe already embodied what Ena used to embody which is why Xipe ended up assimilating Ena.

[@adriantepes4355]

It's like this: If X ranges from 1 to 3 while Y ranges from 0 to 10 you can say that 2 belongs to X as well as Y and you can also say that X itself belongs to Y while any number greater than 3 but less than 10 would belong to Y but not X

[@ИльяКаган-л9ш]

I thought of o bit different role for Ouroboros the Voracity from what i understood in swarm disaster in SU. I think that ouroboros is the great future disaster, old enemy of qlipoth in dusk wars and now lives but on the other side of the barrier. The greatest sin of tayzzironth was breaking this barrier. That would explain Herta surprise to see them in fuli meeting, their war and terror of tayzzironth for ouroboros, fuli's creation from prayers of devoured worlds to be remembered. (Like in the entry - only fuli remember them). And we don't get a new aeon from every destroyed world. Qlipoth's wish to help contrary to his indifference for nanook and emperor Rupert and his possible agreement with Ena to stop the Voracity and as a consequence - weakness of the order exploited by newly ascended aeon of harmony. PS: please correct me, if I'm wrong.

[@EtherealPhantom]

What I gather from this is that HooH and Terminus are the two scariest ones, seemingly being the highest tier of power of them all. It’s also likely Terminus is immune to HooH’s balancing, judging their existence, however that’s purely speculation on my part.

interesting i am not hsr player but i do know about aeons and i find them really interesting like lovecraftian creatures who can be good or bad gods i found aeon of finality intresting as it technically knows everythng that is happening and moves from future to past..aeon aha is just their for entertainment when propagation got killed..idk but how can xipe aeon absorb aeon of order?? doesn't that effect like the order of universe if she does that?? can somebody tell why did xipe absorbed order?? also i like their designs they are cool and if you compare them to genshin's archons and herscherrs in honkai they are more creepy as even their entrance is like summoning an ancient being and to me they just want to absorb each other if their path crossed??

[@crabapple.]

The broader path will devour the narrower path. Basically, if an Aeon has a bigger concept they will devour the lesser concept. That's why the path of Harmony (Xipe) absorbed the path of Order (Ena) because Harmony > Order.

[@terrylap6132]

Aeons only embody their paths, they are not the root of its existence. So if Idrila, the aeon of beauty were to be assimilated or destroyed, that doesn’t mean there will be no beauty, simply that the concept of beauty will have no physical manifestation.

[@AP-kb3jr]

As far as I know, when two aeons have similar paths the aeon belonging to a "broader" path tends to absorb the one belonging to the similar or I guess "narrower" path. Harmony (Xipe) and Order (that other aeon) are pretty similar concepts so one ended up swallowing the other. This particular case was explicitly mentioned in the game but I'm just explaining from memory so I may be missing some points.

Bro. This is spoilers for the March 7th Total Recall quest, so leave if you haven’t done it yet. When you said the Aeon of Finality exists backwards in time, I thought of the March 7th quest, where she tries to remember who she was back in time. Would that mean, then, that the Aeon of Finality may have something to do with March 7th? If Terminus really is living going backwards in time while we move forward, would that mean the only place we could find the Aeon is if we delve into the past somehow, through memories or some other form of time travel? The Garden of Recollection was warning March not to go further, and I believe it’s because if you went too far back, you’d encounter Terminus, and that’s an Aeon you DO NOT want to meet.

[@adriantepes4355]

This theory has many flaws

[@nitromiyazaki]

@@adriantepes4355 just a crackpot theory.

[@adriantepes4355]

@@nitromiyazaki well yes but it's got a lot of flaws. Firstly, why wouldn't you meet Terminus? He's finality, not destruction. He decides when a thing ends but doesn't outright blow up whatever comes in his way. Secondly, an aeon from her memory's recollection will not do any harm to her.

If Terminus power is somehow akin to Kiana Finality authority, universe is done, the aeon can reset the universe or end.

Maybe they have Same source of power ? Cocoon of finality is the source to kiana and maybe the source to terminus too?

[@ifakeifake7612]

It's seems more powerful than that. Seems like he can cut anyone’s authority for "equilibrium"

[@lux9744]

Kevin reveal that *the Finality authority is time* (plus all Herrscher are just shades of the Finality) and other authority. So it's no surprise, if Aeon of Finality is the only Aeon that not bind the their path. Also we know that *some Aeon have path that opposite* each other. So where the Origin/Beginning?

[@adriantepes4355]

Finality won't be that atrocious I hope. But destruction is much more treacherous. Nanook unlike Terminus actively seeks to cause destruction and for that very purpose he gave powers to the anti matter legion.

Elio probably can decipher Terminus' Whispers, that's Elio has plans to atleast change the path but it wouldnt change the outcome

[@Stro2101]

Well Terminus is the most interesting Aeon, but is just not because of only for Honkai Star Rails, because the main villain of Honkai Impact 3rd is the Cocoon of Finality which power it seems that exceeds an Aeon. Currently Kiana manage to surpassed Finality by becaming the Herrscher of Finality and fused with the Cocoon of Finality. If that the case then currently Kiana is an Aeon. So far the only character that have that answer os Welt since he is the only one who is from Earth.

[@Valia2899]

Nous probably knows whats going on with the world of star rail. The geniuses try to reveal the secret of the world, but they dont know that it was already revealed by nous himself. Mythus, the enigmata is the opposite of it, it doesnt want the truth comes, and want to keep everything tobe secret. Like what in the start of video, this whole information of simulated universe probably already false, by follower of enigmata. Aeon is just weird ass godly creepy thing that makes this whole hsr lore interesting. I want to see what next.

[@idontspeakjapanese6289]

Nahh I don't think Kiana is Terminus at all, remember in the trailer: fables about the stars, Black Swan describes Terminus as the "Shapeless Prince" most likely hinting that the Aeon posses no form whatsoever, the Aeon is basically a voice whispering entity. So Kiana cannot Terminus for me, it can use her form though, but I don't think it will and will just continue murmurring about something.

[@Stro2101]

@@idontspeakjapanese6289 remember that the Cocoon of Finality is a strange thing and technically it doesn't have a form. It just change when Kiana fused with it.

Finding about this now I'm really set on not trusting Acheron (as much as I like her) specially if she is an eminator of finality

Could IX(Nihility) and Aha(Elation) be capable of change the fate Terminus have seen? Their concepts are the most unpredictable among eons, but they still are at mercy of the time (... Right?). Or could it be that HooH (equilibrium) and it's concept of balance could be connected in one way or another to Terminus, in a way that Aha and IX are being kept in check?
