History Recap / HonkaiStarRail

The Nameless rest in a nearby hotel, but The Trailblazer has another dream of Cocolia and the Stellaron and cannot sleep. They wander outside the hotel, and get roped into scouring Rivet Town with Seele and Bronya to find more medical supplies for Natasha. After rescuing a kid and acquiring supplies, the group come across an abandoned orphanage where Seele grew up - and where, as it turns out, Bronya grew up as well, having been adopted by Cocolia and forgotten about it until now. Thanks to this unexpected commonality, the two women begin to bond, and they share a moment together. Meanwhile, the Trailblazer comes across Clara, the only human whom Svarog seems to trust, and gives her a few supplies for the vagrant camp near her home.

Serval, a former Architect and friend of Cocolia, hides the Nameless from the Silvermane Guards and tries to escort them into the Restricted Zone. However, the guards soon see through her ruse and begin attacking them, along with Gepard. Serval stays behind to deal with her brother and the guards, as the Nameless and Seele fight their way through Fragmentum Echoes to get to the top of Everwinter Hill, where the Stellaron resides.

With no other leads, the Nameless decide to help Seele and talk to Svarog, but Svarog refuses to negotiate with them, believing only in his cold logic of Preservation.

They wander outside the hotel, and get roped into scouring Rivet Town with Seele and Bronya to find more medical supplies for Natasha. After rescuing a kid and acquiring supplies, the group come across an abandoned orphanage where Seele and Bronya both grew up, and the two women share a moment together. The Trailblazer also comes across Clara, the only human whom Svarog seems to trust, and gives her a few supplies for the vagrant camp near her home.

Eventually, she allows them to meet with Svarog, but Svarog is still unconvinced of the Nameless' intentions, and attacks the group. After blows are exchanged, Clara manages to stop Svarog from fighting further, and convinces him to give the Nameless a chance, as he now agrees they are an independent variable that could change Belobog for the better.

After banishing both Robin and Welt, Sunday awaits at the end of a local gameshow for the Nameless to arrive, offering a chance to join his Path. However, the Nameless have already uncovered the secret of the Watchmaker's Legacy, as Misha turned out to be the key to unlocking Mikhail's last memory bubble, and with it the truth of Penacony's history. Afterwards, the Trailblazer gains the gaze of Xipe, the Aeon of Harmony, and is able to use their power with the Watchmaker's memories. Even so, Sunday transports the Trailblazer, March 7th, and Himeko to a Grand Theater, where he recounts the history of Penacony's Past, Present, and Future through his view of The Order. And then Sunday uses the power of the Stellaron within Penacony to revive the Order's Beyond the Sky Choir to usurp the Charmony Festival. The Trailblazer and their friends aren't enough to defeat Sunday, but they are suddenly saved by Jing Yuan and Dan Heng working together to shatter Sunday's Dreamscape.

Afterwards, the Trailblazer finds out that Dan Heng used the artifact that Jing Yuan gave the Astral Express to summon the Cloud Knights, as while the Nameless were in the Dreamscape, Dan Heng found out with Black Swan, a Galaxy Ranger named Boothill, and another person they can't remember (Acheron) about The Order's hidden plot and determined they would need the Xianzhou Luofu's help. In the aftermath of their Stellaron Crisis, The Family strips Sunday of his authority and decides to put him on trial for his actions, while the IPC and the Xianzhou seek to mediate the affair.

Later, Topaz and Jade decide to get involved on Penacony with Aventurine having gone silent.

Later, the Penacony story divides between three parties: Acheron and Welt Yang team up to do their own digging of what The Family is trying to keep secret, as Black Swan discovers from an unseen third-party that Acheron is an Emanator of an unknown path. Aventurine gains an audience with Sunday, who uses his abilities as a Pathstrider of the Harmony to interrogate Aventurine after being forewarned by Dr. Ratio of his arrival and plans. Sunday discovers that Aventurine brought two Cornerstones instead of one: his own and Topaz's, submitting Topaz's as his own while hiding the other one. Sunday then forces Aventurine to help him find a traitor in The Family responsible for Robin's death. As Aventurine reflects on his own past as the last member of his Avgin clan and a former slave who managed to bargain his way into the Stonehearts' good graces, he makes a grand gamble with Sparkle, and then himself, under the guise of trying to find "death" within the Dreamscape. In the process he also reveals that Dr. Ratio's betrayal was part of his plan, and that three Cornerstones, rather than two, are currently present on Penacony, with the confiscated Cornerstone ostensibly belonging to Aventurine being Jade's instead.
