Translating kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXmrnJ6bj9SrZpI between 6:20 and 10:22 Funshiki: Xian Zhou: Luofu (仙舟:罗浮) - the area that wasn't released until CBT3. We only know a little bit of its plot. Undoubtedly, it's the most important area after the starting area. (Coffee: It's unlockable around lvl29 or so, probably playing the role of Liyue.) There are these massive starships called Xian Zhou. (Xian has been translated into Adeptus in Genshin and as Celestial in Honkai, what Zhongli/Xiao/etc and Fu Hua are. Well, Sushang is a cultivator but probably not ascended to adeptus yet. Cultivators also have a complicated status in Genshin where normal cultivators are just Genshin vision holders while adeptus status denotes cultivators of animal origins, according to Xiao's dev log, but anyway.) Zhou is a type of ship. I'll call these Adeptus Arks for now and insert this temporary name wherever Xian Zhou is used. All of these starships belong to a galactic superpower called the Adeptus Ark Alliance (Alliance of Xian Zhou). The tech tree of this Alliance is incredibly futuristic and advanced. They have left behind the childhood era of civilizations and matured into a civilization wandering among the stars. (Coffee: At this point, I'm thinking of Protoss ark ships. The entire nation / species that is the alliance lives on these. Each one is equal to a traveling planet.) There are 6 Arks. 罗浮 Luofu, named after en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Luofu 曜青 Yaoqing 方壶 Fanghu baike.baidu.com/item/方壶, a Daoist holy mountain 朱明 Zhuming 虚陵 Xuling 玉阙 Yuque, translatable as Jade Imperial City, where a heavenly emperor resided baike.baidu.com/item/%E7%8E%89%E9%98%99 The video uploader Funshiki said he did some searches (probably on Baidu) and found that these Adeptus Arks are all named after (in irl culture) Daoist terms, typically related to adeptus hideouts and holy mountains called Dongtian. Dongtian sometimes translated as Grotto-heaven, combining the word for cave and heaven. Yes, keeping the Daoist cultivator theme going. I think sacred hideout is the way to describe it. Some stories have Grotto-heavens being the pocket dimension that one manifests within one self after obtaining sufficient power, like Madame Ping's home or the Genshin teapot. Genshin's Mt Hulao and Mt Aocang also have adeptus caves that are similar. I think the western equivalent are wizards' towers or dungeons, generally the territory of magic users that they can freely modify. *cough their personal Discord servers. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grotto-heavens This is similar to Raiden Shogun's domain expansion domain, but that's more linked to Buddhist imagery of Pure Lands. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pure_land Back to the video's lore. Why does the Adeptus Ark Alliance have to keep moving on their starships? A few millennia ago, the Ark dwellers received the blessing of the Aeon Yaoshi (Aeon of the Path of Abundance), becoming immune to aging. However, this isn't a blessing that normal people / mortals could bear, and to some, it is a curse that converts them into demonic creatures. (In case you don't know yet, the Aeons are gods of the stars, possibly equivalent to Genshin archons.) Later, the Aeon Lan (Aeon of the path of the Hunt) helped the Ark dwellers out of the mess of Yaoshi's curse. Thus, the Arks were converted to follow Lan instead and wander about the universe to hunt down Yaoshi and Her undead creations. Lan isn't a particularly strong Aeon, but has limitless concern for their followers, and thus would grant power to their followers without holding anything back. Thus, the 6 Generals under Lan have power rivaling the Lord Ravagers of the Anti-Matter Legion under Aeon Nanook (Aeon of the Path of Destruction). These 6 Generals correspond to the 6 Arks. (Funshiki: Oh my, the power level of "general" really popped out. Watching the combat power system of Star Rail get built brick by brick really brings a tear to my eyes.) Going to each Ark, each Ark has 6 departments, with equal political power. Many of the characters released are working for these departments. (Coffee: I am not going to translate their official names since there's probably some official translation coming out anyway. ) There's the human resources department, the construction department, the transportation department. Tingyun (Star Rail Bennett ahem) belongs to the transportation department alongside another character called Yukong, and they're kitsune. The department of biology and medicine has Bailu. The department of fortune-telling/divination and intel-gathering (CIA?) has Fu Xuan (Funshiki: she was such a showoff in the CG) and Qingque. Lastly, the department of war (Cloud Cavalry?) has Yanqing and (the old fan favorite) Li Sushang. Then, with them, there's a mysterious long-haired blonde man... called Luocha?? Aiya, where have I seen this guy before? He's definitely not Void Archives, totally. Really do anticipate the day he meets Welt. Going back to the 6 Generals under Lan, upon the Arkship Luofu, of course it is Cloud General Jing Yuan. (Coffee: The way this is said implies there's Cloud Cavalry / Cloud Knights on each Arkship, and each is headed by the Arkship General. Cloud Knights sounds better, if it's such a large group that it's like a warrior caste and also not necessarily tied to riding creatures or vehicles). (9:59 in the video) Finally, there is a position outranking even the 6 Generals, the Marshall. The Marshall has not been revealed yet in currently available plot. However, in an obscure corner on the flavor text of an expedition, we see a message from the Adpetus Ark Alliance asking for help against, evil, and it is undersigned Cloud Knights Marshall 云骑元帅... Hua 华. (Funshiki: Whaa, highest combat strength on the arks + old friend reunited + mihoyo's highly experienced cultivator-playing actress = the level of flex is going to be sky-high. I can't wait.) 泛式泛式, 如果以后需要翻译者,我愿意帮忙翻译~
