Flagships of the Xianzhou Alliance - Followers of The Hunt (Honkai: Star Rail Lore)

The Xianzhou Alliance is a massive fleet composed of several planet-sized flagships that act as their homes. In this video, I go over the lore of the six remaining Xianzhou flagships and their history, as well as the tales of the three destroyed flagships.

Thank you so much for watching!

It also worth mentioning that Yaoqing is under strong influence of IPC, to the point where it's became difficult to identify Xianzhou natives from IPC employes.

[@romeoiiihidalgo9516]

13:03 Random thought: I think one of the themes of HSR is that following any path to the extreme is bad. So I'm hoping we meet a character that followed the Hunt to strongly(The Yaoqing General could fill that role, which is why I put that time stamp), or we meet and Abundance or Destruction follower that makes a genuinely reasonable argument

[@yharnamiyhill787]

Another professional lore content creator. Thank you! Whenever i got spare time, i read research/history books - never finding the time to read Genshin/Honkai lore and piece them together. Thank you for helping me make sense of the settings.

What an amazing and well put together video!

[@electroneurons]

Honestly i hope the next storyline in the Xianzhou storyline is better then the Luofu story because Xianzhou storyline is not looking too good right now

[@Elti979]

I just love the characters from the xianzhou not so much the story

[@electroneurons]

@@Elti979 same

[@Koscacio]

Belobog and Penacony feel like a visual novel, the Luofu feel like a long fetch quest

[@h33day]

Unlikely since the writers are not the same. Likely Xianzhou will be an annual thing. One new planet, back to xianzhou, then back to the previous planet just like Belobog/Luofu (in terms of story).

[@criminallie]

normally a quiet watcher, love the lore vids! but just an fyi, xianzhou is pronounced like “sh-yen” (ish) rather than “see-ann.” i don’t play the game in english, so for all i know that could be the way they say it in the dub-either way, just thought i’d note it bc you might care? haha

[@ehe8119]

I guess I’m going to trust Elio’s foresight because he really aligned the MC to be allies with the Xianzhou. This alliance will literally benefit the MC in the battle that will come cuz Xianzhou alone is a freakin fleet of army. 🤯

[@junayedahmed-g3v]

Didn't danheng used alliance's provided Talisman earlier in 2.2 penacony storyline to save astral express members ? That talisman thingy is basically once a life contact that can be used 1 time as of whole. Even danheng was warned if he should use it since there's only 1 chance to use it.

[@Norfenrix]

I just really wanna say thank you for the lore video !!! I have MAJOR trust issues watching lore videos (Mainly HSR) and preferring to dig myself due to misinformation/bias which there is a TON, especially when it comes to the Loufu and High Cloud Quintet. I have a few red flags that immediately tell me whether or not I can trust someone trying to feed me lore, one of those red flags being "DH = DF" And safe to say you are a green flag for lore in my book and I'm happy I found a youtuber who I can actually trust and help me further my lore understanding Keep up the amazing work, looking forward to more lore from you !!!

[@jamondecampo2050]

What a great way to start the day c:

[@krys9463]

I wonder how they'll slot in the other ships, maybe once in a while we get two planets between TB's new path power up instead of one, because throwing in a new place during a patch where a different planet was center stage seems like a lot. Especially if they want to give each ship a big story, or maybe they'll save big stories for only a few ships and throw in the other ships between patches. Anyway I can't wait to see the other ships, I'm actually interested in seeing if we'll get any Abundance followers who are actually laid back but the ship that encounters them is full overzealous followers who try to force them to stop following Abundance. I'd imagine that this would be when TB gains the path of Abundance.

wonder if we would meet an eon face to face some day and see a 3d model of them.

[@xumi2137]

dan heng IS Dan feng, Dan feng went through molten rebirth cause he was forced to, Dan heng is not incarnation, he is Dan feng, no death took place, but he still hatched from an egg and was inprisoned and brainwashed that Dan feng was such a cruel and evil that he didn't wanted to be associated with him, but everyone, even ghosts recognise him as Dan Feng, he also still have Dan fengs Spear gave by yingxing and their matching jade pendants, have some memories of Dan feng and gain even more of them while normal incarnations dont remember anything, if you wsnt i can recommend a video thay explains this thing so good

[@SiliconOneFour]

I know he's not a pure incarnation, as it was forced, but he is still his own individual person. They are not the same.

[@vermilion6966]

All elders remember things from their past lives,but only in their dreams. Dh isnt special. Bailu also started to dream of her previous life. Also dh being df is cheap af and personally,made me lose all and any interest i previously had for the character

[@vermilion6966]

​@@SiliconOneFourim sorry to say,but they probably are. I hate it but i think its true. First,we had chinese players explain to us that basically in chinese stories if someone is reincarnated,they always regain their memories and reconcile with their past. Second,in game itself if you actually will look at it,the echo of df like his memories sound very much alike. For me it was like the authors were saying that df wasnt some insane genius or anything,he was just someone who made a wrong choice. Last but not least,in the game dh himself while he says hes not df but he acts the opposite. He constantly allows himself to be dragged back by jing yian,jingliu and blade. He thinks hes responsible for what he did. He still cares if bailu is a good high elder or not. He proposed to blade to "accompany him until the end" when he learned about his condition. While blade refused,it says a lot about dh. He lives in the past for the most part. He cares too much about the Loufu or his past "friends" for someone who denied hes df Hes not his own person and i personally hate it,but thats the route they take

[@sfjuhispst8144]

​​@@vermilion6966I feel like that could be an intresting internal conflict for him (and it probably is, it just hasn't been presented to us ouright). Dan Heng feels like he is morally obligated to help his old friends, as his previous incarnations actions are the source of their suffering, but there is nothing he can do. Both Blade and Jingliu are essentially "dead men walking." One is only kept lucid through mind control, and the other can only feel hatred. The previous versions of those two people are long gone. So, what is there to do for Dan Heng, even if he is Dan Feng? Personally I think Dan Hengs story is about reconsiling with the "sins of the father". After all, in some sense Dan Feng is sort of like Dan Hengs father.

[@vermilion6966]

@@sfjuhispst8144 i want to clarify that blade being kept somewhat lucid is probably not because of mind control. As it is in the game, he is for the most part somewhat sane unless hes overcome with hatred. Which can be triggered by memories. Since he doesnt remember much,it can be mostly triggered when he comes in contact with someone or something from the past. If hes not,hes somewhat sane. Thats why hes able to drive ff around in penaconys story and doesnt sound manic. Jingliu unless she lied just seemed to reach a breaking point faster as it sounds like shes losing it regardless of her surrounding,but then again,they have slightly different conditions as shes just mara struck and with blade its more complicated

[@redacted-oo7ne]

where was jing yuan stated to be an emanator

I think that Baiheng was Dan Feng first love before reincarnated as Dan Heng, because how much Dan Feng along side Yingxing/Blade want to resurrect her so badly.
