Galactic Archives — "Destruction" and Lord Ravagers
The information here comes from a post made by the official account on Hoyolab made on June 25.
Note: All of the text on these cards was added to the in-game databank for 'Factions' in Lord Ravager (Destruction) in 3.4, which also contains additional explanation beyond what is presented here and has sometimes been rephrased.
The prisoner is about to grasp the celestial flames, as cosmic fables echo from beyond the cave.
The fate of Amphoreus lies exposed before the gaze of Nanook and THEIR assembly of Lord Ravagers.
The displacement and desolation caused by the Lord Ravagers, enforcers of the will of Destruction, are not some distant wail, but are closely linked to the fate of the cosmos. Any world could be the next victim, and nobody should take them lightly.
“There is a coreflame in the center of the universe.
It burns brighter and brighter, until it consumes the sea of stars—
all to welcome a magnificent oblivion at the end of all realities.”
Nanook's Chosen Weapons of Destruction
Embrace the Aesthetic of Destruction
Where all Things Return to Entropy
The Aeon Nanook, who walks the Path of Destruction, glances at the powerful creatures in different worlds that have developed the urge to destroy, and brands them with THEIR mark that gives power.
Lord Ravagers are both Aeonic Emanators and the enforcers of the will of Destruction: Obsessed with the beauty of havoc, adhering to the principle that all things return to entropy. They are also artists of war and the most refined weapons of Destruction: Commanding wars across the stars, wielding the devastating might blessed by the Aeon.[1]
Each Lord Ravager has a unique philosophy of “Destruction,” making them extremely dangerous. Some claim they are “antimatter bullets” blessed by Nanook and purposed to incinerate Paths. If life feeds on negentropy, then all actions will ultimately facilitate Destruction. In the end, when all returns to entropy, Destruction will termiante together with the cosmos.
Lord Ravager: Asat Pramad
Bestow the Cruelest Joke of All
Witness the Most Absurd Annihilation
Some say Asat Pramad is the most human of the Overlords, while others argue he's the least. Rarely seen on the front lines, he prefers to orchestrate from afar — more chess master than warlord, moving his legions with methodical precision.
Worlds that fall under his gaze are consumed by waves and waves of slow, cruel jokes — like the infamous fall of the Ogul ring. Over a century, Asat Pramad advanced his Voidrangers inch by inch, just to force the military line of the resistance into the shape of a single line of text: “Destruction is where laughter ends. It is mourning, not celebration.”
Known as the destroyer of Elation, Asat Pramad embraces the title. When his work is done, he scorches a giant smiling face into the surface of every dead planet as if mocking the very idea of life.
Lord Ravager: Zephyro
Savage White Flame
Pierce Through the Deepest Darkness
Zephyro is feared across the stars ans the most terrifying of the Lord Ravagers. He is obsessed with the final moment of annihilation — the beauty of absolute erasure. Yet some whisper that encountering him may be a mercy. Among all the Lord Ravagers, Zephyro alone offers a death without pain.
Some Doctors of Chaos even theorize that his Destruction is a form of resistance. They believe he is a Self-Annihilator summoned by IX, refining fading colors into blinding white light to defy the shadow of the Aeons. His devastation has been known to bleed into the dreams of the Nihility pathstriders, leaving searing marks on their waking flesh.
Many believe Zephyro's targeting the Nihility. One Self-Annihilator once described a nightmare: At the end of all things, with nothing left to destroy, a Lord Ravager hurled himself into IX's divine corpus, followed by a single, violent beam of white that pierced the endless darkness.
