Manuscript of Era Nova III: Through the Petals in the Land of Repose (3.2)
This originally comes from a post on Hoyolab by the official account, which was published on 04 May 2025. The image has been cut into more manageable pieces, and some typos have been corrected.
When the lost at last find their way home, they look back upon the road that led them.
The epics of fallen heroes are etched into the long scroll of memory. The murmurs of the future echo ever closer…
The Titan's Coreflames have all been returned. Flame-Chasers, this march toward “tomorrow” — will it truly lead to the world's rebirth?
Current Coreflame Collection Progress: 10/12
Previously on the Trailblazing Expedition
Stelle: During Oronyx's trial, a shocking truth struck me: I had long been dead. Only by challenging the Hand of Shadow within fifteen Entry Hours could I reclaim the future stolen from me. With the help of the demigod Cipher, Castorice and I journeyed to Styxia, the Dragonbone City.
Dan Heng: Elsewhere, the citizens' assembly drew near. After winning the Council of Elders' trust, Anaxa ascended Dawncloud and sought an audience with Kephale, the Worldbearing Titan. Castorice revived Netherwing Pollux and soared into the nether realm astride its back, returning both the Coreflame of Death and the Trailblazer's stolen future. Thus, Amphoreus's cycle of life and death was restored.
Caelus: With this, Anaxa completed the proof of his hypothesis regarding creation, casting the pivotal vote at the citzens' assembly — ensuring the “Flame-Chase Journey” would continue. After returning Cerces's Coreflame, he too reached his own end. Now, only the Coreflames of Sky and Worldbearing remain. The Chrysos Heir's journey is drawing to its final chapter…
Companions and Memories
Anaxa
Bearer of Cerces's Divine Authority
In the dwindling twilight of his life, Anaxa touched upon the truth of Amphoreus's cycle, fulfilling a lifelong wish and passing the final trial of Reason.
A noble blasphemer, and a forerunner who unveiled a shard of the world's truth — may there yet be a day we meet again.
— The Trailblazer & Dan Heng
Castorice
Bearer of Thanatos's Divine Authority
At he sea of flowers' end, Castorice was reunited with her Chrysos Heir twin. She became the new demigod of Death, staying in the nether realm to ferry lost souls alone.
When a butterfly rests on the bough of Death, all things bloom once more with the flame of life.
— The Trailblazer & Dan Heng
From the Future
Cipher
Bearer of Zagreus's Divine Authority
Cipher, a thief as nimble as a cat, channeled the divine powers of the Trickery Titan — guiding us to Styxia, a city stranded on the River of Souls.
Need a ride? Look for the flying cat.
— The Trailblazer
Tribbie, Trinnon, and Trianne
Bearers of Janus's Divine Authority
Tribbie and Trinnon continued to guide us forward, while Trianne prepared a special gift now resting in our hands.
Through the long and radiant journey, their presence is ever unwavering.
— Dan Heng
Mydei
Bearer of Nikador's Divine Authority
Mydei still battled endlessly against all odds. In the lull before rebirth, his soul appeared in the nether realm.
For him, the war is not only among the living — and even here, in this realm of death, we march forward together.
— The Trailblazer
Aglaea
Bearer of Mnestia's Divine Authority
On the stage of the Demigod Council, Aglaea stepped into the background, guiding Phainon to the mantle of leadership and recommending Cipher as our guide on the River of Souls. Yet her own soul grew faint, ember-thin — on the verge of burning out.
None rival her resolve in leading others and keeping the Flame-Chase Journey alight.
— Dan Heng
Phainon
Chrysos Heir in Aedes Elysiae
Phainon spoke from the heart, defending all that everyone's built in the Flame-Chase Journey with a speech as sharp as any blade.
He has taken up the burden of deliverance, and with every step, grows into the leader we need.
— The Trailblazer
Hyacine
As a Sky Priest, Hyacine also studies in the sanctum of the Reason Titan.
She who looks to the Sky, also walks with grounded steps.
— Dan Heng
Mem
Mem and the Trailblazer have together inherited the divine authority of Oronyx. And now, Mem may speak fluently.
With memory upon memory gathered, Mem's grown beyond all expectations!
— The Trailblazer
Dan Heng
Dan Heng, delving into the vast archives of the Grove, searched for truths on Amphoreus and a way to save the Trailblazer. Instead, he stumbled upon the secret of Anaxa's soul studies.
Trailblazer
I was reborn! I — who had died upon first arriving in Amphoreus — have finally returned to the world of the living, carrying back the vital Coreflame of Death and returning it to the Vortex of Genesis[1] with my own hands.
From the Future
When the scroll is sealed and the pen is set down, you hear whispers from the future.
“The witness saw… falling from…“
“Children of humanity… rising against… the Sky…”
