The Xianzhou Alliance (Chinese: 仙舟联盟 (Xiānzhōu Liánméng), Lit. Immortal Ship Alliance) is one of the major protagonistic factions of the 2023 science-fantasy role-playing game Honkai: Star Rail. They are the space-faring civilization of the followers of Lan, Aeon presiding the Path of the Hunt. Initially consisting of Nine Ships, three of them were destroyed in the past, leaving only Six Ships remaining sailing toward the Cosmos.
Biography[]
In an ancient era of legends, multiple Xianzhou ships were tasked with voyaging across the stars to search for the miracle medicine of immortality. The endless voyage took its toll on Xianzhou, wearing away its conviction and shape over the long years, until their eventual encounter with Yaoshi. However, all that the fruit of immortality brought upon them were sorrows, poverty, and endless war and death. It wasn't until Lan, the Aeon of The Hunt, returned from the Abyss. Using gravity as bowstring and stars as arrows, Lan shattered the Ambrosial Arbor and put the wickedness of Abundance to an end. After Xianzhou returned to the righteous path, it formed an alliance under the guidance of The Hunt and formed a powerful army known as the Cloud Knights. The alliance's goals were to patrol the world and eradicate all Abominations of Abundance, and put an end to the corruption of the undead.
Over the years, the Xianzhou Alliance landed on a great number of worlds that used to enjoy the grace of gods. They eradicated countless undead abominations. Any civilization that worshiped Abundance had to consider the possible threat of the Xianzhou destroying their planet. This kind of deterrence was precisely what the Xianzhou Alliance is hoping to be. They want to be seen as the constant red line for those greedy for immortality, becoming the price that none dares to pay.
To this day, countless souls have gathered upon Xianzhou, all bearing the will of The Hunt and the intent of seeking revenge on the ravaging Abundance. They will not rest until the complete eradication of the Deathless Doom, and their cosmic tours will not end.
Demographics[]
The Xianzhou Alliance was established by the Xianzhou Natives, who were present on all ships. After being rescued from their dying homeworld, the Vidyadhara established themselves on at least five of the six ships, with each of the ships having a High Elder, barring the Xuling. After Glaciator Marum signed the covenant with the Xianzhou Alliance on behalf of the Vidyadhara and the five High Elders, they agreed to keep watch over the respective plaguemarks of each Xianzhou ship, and the Alliance granted the Vidyadhara the Fanghu to rule as an autonomous ship. After the Alliance saved them from enslavement under the borisin, the Foxians became the third major race across the Alliance, becoming the dominant culture on the Yaoqing.
The largest population of heliobi can be found on the Zhuming, as they are continuously born from the Flint Emperor. These harmless heliobi are captured before they come into contact with emotions and tamed with gentle dreams before they are matched with various objects in the Zhuming, such as swords, lamps and vehicles. Other heliobi can be found at Artisanship Commission forges such as the Luofu's Creation Furnace, though they had temporarily escaped and were contained at Fyxestroll Garden. The Zhuming regards the Disatta as loyal allies, respecting their tenacity and strength, while being grateful for their selfless sacrifice as they are the only ones able to survive the Flint Emperor's hypergravity field. The Xuling, at some point, became a ship completely populated and staffed by Aurumatons.
