Honkai: Star Railhas a rich story that follows a group of Trailblazers' galactic journey. Each character in the game possess unique abilities that they pull from various elements and Paths. The latter’s energy was also used by Aeons, which are described as godlike beings who preside overHonkai: Star Rail’s universe, and were bound to these Paths for the rest of their lives.
The Aeons technically aren’t concrete fixtures inHonkai: Star Rail, but they are mentioned in character dialogue and reading materials, and present in the Simulated Universe. Themysterious Black Swanalso introduced the gods in “Fable of the Stars.” Many players might think that there are only a few Aeons inStar Rail, but there are actually 18 in total, with many making an impact by building the game’s universe.
