Factions are groups and organizations in Honkai: Star Rail, many of which follow or revolve around a particular Aeon and THEIR associated Path.
Description[]
The mortal beings' speculation of divine intent is a futile endeavor, akin to the irrelevance of a mayfly against the enormity of the cosmos. However, when individuals harbor a shared misconception, they gather as a crowd, giving rise to an added value: the formation of consensus, the transmutation of misconception into a generally accepted solution, and the attraction of the collective... Subsequently, factions naturally emerge.
Regardless of the size of factions, they all believe that their faith bears the will of the Aeons. Countless factions even claim to be the emissaries of a certain Aeon. Most of the Aeons have found no interest in the ways of these factions. Some, however, find it extremely amusing to watch these ants in their fervent labor. THEY may provide careful guidance, or create mysticism to alter the progress of the faction. This is THEIR way of influencing the world.
Though most of the Aeons remain distant, the vast number of factions have made the stars a lively place. They carry banners and flags, forming allies and foes, fighting those who stand against their beliefs. The cosmos became a lively place indeed.

Notes[]
- ↑ According to the Self-Annihilators Data Bank entry, they function less like a faction and more a phenomena.
- ↑ According to the Pure Children of Anāsrava Data Bank entry, Dan Heng is conflicted on whether they should be considered a faction, but could not think of a more accurate label to give them.
