Uploaded May 2023 | Updated September 2026, 2 days ago
Our first venture into the Xianzhou Alliance's Luofu ship took the spotlight off of the stellarons for a little while and gave us our first REAL taste of what it really means to live under the influence of an Aeon... or two. We barely touched on Qlipoth in Belobog, and we learned very little of Nanook on the Space station, but Lan and Yaoshi's presence can be felt everywhere aboard the Xianzhou Fleet. So in this video, let's take a look at the history of the Xianzhou Alliance, the birth of the Aeon Lan, the power of Yaoshi and those who believe in them.

Time for holiday shopping with Eneba: https://ene.ba/Ashikai
Need a top-up? Enebas got you covered: https://ene.ba/Ashikai-Gacha
For a long time Ive been saying everything is dragon but evidence in Nod-Krai has me thinking everything is angel...
So then I thought, what if I combine the two? Everything is dragon-angel!
And then things got out of control and I read several hundred pages of literature on angelology, made an angelic hierarchy and a genealogy chart.
Enjoy...?

The black tide is no longer the only force threatening Amphoreus - now the Chrysos Heirs have a new competitor in their race to collect the coreflames: The Flame Reaver.
So maybe its time for Mydei to finally accept his ascension to the throne of strife, while Tribios takes us back to the past to witness the truth of the prophecy for ourselves.

While going through the story so far, I noticed a couple of weird things about the behavior of Ether, and after some investigation, it became clear that these suspicions of mine could tell us quite a bit about the true nature of the Sacrifice. So I hope you enjoy this highly speculative analysis of Ether and the Sacrifice!

Its been two years, and we are severely lacking in Stellaron lore. So I decided to take matters into my own hands and investigate. And based on what Ive found, I think its unlikely Stellarons are the seeds of destruction everyone seems to think they are.
