An Emanator is a term referring to those who have attained the permission of an Aeon to draw power from the Aeon's Path.[Note 1]
Description[]
If mortals receiving the grace of Aeons and grasping the power of Paths are viewed as a singular shattered foam, then the mighty feats of Aeons driving their Paths onwards can be likened to a towering tsunami that engulfs mountains. In this empty stellar vastness, a small number of favored mortals can also draw upon the power of the Paths with the permission of the Aeons, creating huge waves that erode the coast. They are referred to as "Emanators." While not completely subservient to the Aeons, Emanators are as good as emissaries of the Aeons' wills in everyone else's eyes.
Different Aeons have different attitudes towards their Emanators, so the degree of the power they share also varies. Some Aeons regard Emanators as an extension of themselves, and as such, generously open their Path to the Emanators completely. There are also Aeons who have no intention of creating Emanators and have no interest in worldly squabbles. Other Aeons just do as they please. It is said that Aha the Elation will randomly give mortals the power of their Path, and toy with humans according to their mood.
Confirmed Emanators by Path[]
Abundance[]
The Wingweavers allot their positions in Muldrasil strictly according to their social structure. The one residing at the topmost branch is the master of the holy celestine nest, the Wingperor of the wingweavers. Traditionally, he (or she) is considered an Emanator of Abundance. They are responsible for guiding Muldrasil's growth and making it thrive, and for nurturing all the winged people.[1]
Denizens of Abundance[]
Destruction[]
Lord Ravagers are selected by Nanook among those sprouting destructive impulses from worlds THEY have destroyed and brands them with a mark, granting them powers. These powerful beings obey the will of Nanook or even relish the path of Destruction. A Lord Ravager is an executor of the will of Destruction, and they implement the practice of returning all things to entropy. They command interstellar warfare, and control the might of Destruction bestowed by the Aeon. Academics believe that Lord Ravagers were elevated as emissaries of Nanook due to this absolutely obsessive and intense destructive aesthetic.[4][5]
Antimatter Legion[]
Elation[]
Aha has no sense of self-consciousness, is utterly unpredictable, does everything on a whim, and plays mortals and the universe like a fiddle. Aha once turned a Noblesse Worm into THEIR Emanator and granted the worm fathomless intelligence. The Elation gave the entirety of THEIR Path's power to a worm that didn't even have a fully developed brain, and then discarded the creature once it had outlived its purpose. Without the Aeon's blessing, the worm died instantly and tragically. There is also an Emanator of Elation who is said to bear a resemblance to "those clowns", likely referring to the Masked Fools.[10][11]
Equilibrium[]
HooH and THEIR Emanators influence the universe surreptitiously, trying to achieve an ideal balance. The Arbitrators admired HooH's ideas. But universal laws have no control over time and space, and mortals can only pursue the beauty of Equilibrium in a secular world by the elimination of radical extremes: with countless opposing concepts were created and interpreted to satisfy the Arbitrators' obsession with a zero-sum universe. But the rules of mortals are always riddled with flaws. Out of desperation, the Arbitrators were constantly forced over the inexorable passage of time to patch up past fallacies and mistakes, forever shifting the hopes of Equilibrium onto the next "patch." HooH watches on in silence, knowing that the restoration of order could never be shaken in the slightest by such vulgar mortal drama.[13][14]

Genius Society[]
Harmony[]
The concept of Harmonic Strings is defined in the Harmony Hymns — They are the multiple embodiments of Xipe the Great One, the down-to-earth virtues that enable harmony. Regardless of whether you place yourself under The Family's rule, the Aeon will look favorably upon you as long as you carry out these good deeds. Harmonic Strings do not follow any specific individual but are facets of Xipe, and can assume the form of any Family member when necessary. Family members have returned to a system of differentiation based on scales, with only those above scale degree IV being eligible to serve as the tuner of the Harmonic Strings, such individuals are called Chordmasters.[19]
The Family[]
- Harmonic Strings[6][20]
- Aelenev the Commander of the Eternal Centurion
- Dominicus the Wisher of the Harmonious Choir
- Constantina the Singer of the Panacoustic Theater
- Beatriz the Merrymaker of the Blissful Ball
Nihility[]
Due to IX's complete apathy towards the universe, THEY never glance at anyone, so it is a common belief that it is impossible for Emanators of Nihility to exist. However, Emanators of Nihility do exist, although IX does not deliberately create them. IX takes no deliberate actions, but IX and the Path of Nihility envelop everyone equally, and some who have gone under IX's "shadow" can become "tainted" with more Nihility, becoming Emanators and Self-Annihilators.[21][22]
Self-Annihilators[]
Doctors of Chaos[]
- Unnamed Self-Annihilators who have joined the Doctors of Chaos[6]
Preservation[]
As the largest financial body of the cosmos and a disciple of Qlipoth, the Amber Lord, most believe that the Preservation's Emanators exist within the IPC. However, according to the Astral Express' current databank intel, only two Emanators of Preservation are confirmed. The Ten Stonehearts are an elite team led by Diamond of the Strategic Investment Department, who were each personally selected by him and conferred the name and status of a "Cornerstone."[6]
Interastral Peace Corporation[]
- Diamond[6]
- Taravan Keane[6]
- Unnamed members of the IPC[25]
Propagation[]
An Emanator's mandibles were directly inherited from Tayzzyronth, its death ray could fragment celestial bodies, it used its giant scythes to harvest planets for its nest, and it made shattered stars incubators for procreating offspring. An Emanator of Propagation was described as "primitive and pure" in contrast to other Emanators, likely due to belonging to The Swarm.[26][16][27]

Mirror Holders[]
- Unnamed self-proclaimed Emanator[28]
Enigmata[]
There is evidence that History Fictionologists are a group of Emanators that were enlightened by Aeons. They often plunge into the sea of stars alone, traveling planet to planet with the sole purpose of fabricating, obscuring, destroying, and erasing the local history. However, their Data Bank entry has been edited and the veracity of its information is ambiguous. Emanators of the Enigmata would also be capable of creating dreamscapes from memoria.[29][30]
History Fictionologists[]
The Hunt[]
The Generals who command each Xianzhou ship, along with the Marshal of the Alliance, take up arms themselves, embarking on the irrevocable path of pursuit and becoming the sharp arrows of the Reignbow. The Seven Arbiter-Generals possess formidable spirits bestowed by Lan and wield great power.[6][31]

Notes[]
- ↑ Contrary to the Loading Screen description, an individual does not need to be a Pathstrider to become or be an Emanator. This is evident by various stories, such as Aha making random beings Emanators, including the Noblesse Worm.
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 The Data Bank entry for the History Fictionologists has been edited by an unknown individual, likely a member of the History Fictionologists themselves, so the information is ambiguous.
- ↑ The HoYoLAB article implies but does not directly state that the Xianzhou generals are Emanators. It is also unclear whether Black Swan is referring to Jing Yuan himself as the Emanator, or the Lightning-Lord, during Trailblaze Mission The Sun Also Rises.
