Halovians are a species known for their angelic iconography, specifically the wings sprouting from the backs of their heads and accessories reminiscent of halos. The Halovians' halos in reality have no tangible form. They are condensed energy projections that can even flicker during emotional disturbances or when telepathy is used. There is no concern about a halo becoming stuck. Furthermore, upon entering the Dreamscape, while it's true that the energy halo transforms into a physical entity under the influence of memoria, its position can be adjusted at will while within the dream, much like adjusting a hat. They are said to be cool and smooth to the touch, described as an "amazing" texture. Additionally, it is believed that all Halovians only have a basic circle when they are born. As they age, the halo evolves into various shapes reflecting their experiences and personality traits. Some special Halovians may even be able to transform their halo into any shape they desire. All Halovians are said to be able to read minds. The range of their ability isn't that big and usually won't work more than 6–10 feet away. Halovians can also use their telepathy to communicate with one another without speaking. Also, Halovians with strong powers of Harmony are said to be able to use their singing and language to manipulate others. It's said some Halovian Pathstriders can even unleash psychic attacks to stun a person or reduce their intelligence to zero, though this remains to be seen. Robin has been seen using her voice of Harmony for tuning in order to changed a person's state of mind for them to feel more at ease and analyzing other people's state of mind. Sunday has been seen using his voice of Harmony to perform the Harmony's consecration on an individual in order for them to show allegiance to the Harmony.

However, deceit can transform the consecration into a trial, which Sunday implied he could absolve or decide the terms and punishments. For example, should the individual succeed, they may be able to coalesce into the Harmony. Failure could be met by suffering the wrath of the Aelenev, the Eternal Centurion.

Penacony, also known as the "Planet of Festivities", is a planet administered by The Family in the Asdana star system. Although called the "Planet of Festivities", the actual physical structure of Penacony in reality is that of a colossal artificial space station-like megastructure which houses The Reverie Hotel, surrounded by two small Alderson disks orbiting it. The alderson disks have several landmasses and bodies of water, which were said to be once barren deserts. City buildings can be seen jutting out on both from the "top" and "underside" of the alderson disks. Charmony Doves are a species of bird that inhabit Penacony. Penacony is located in the Asdana, a star system brimming with memoria, which has historically been one of the Macro Voids that leaked out from the Memory Zone. The memoria concentration surrounding Penacony is above normal levels.

The Family is a gathering of beings from different worlds who are blessed by Xipe, the Aeon of Harmony. The Family's exact structure and governance is unknown, but seems to vary based on world. Penacony's branch was divided into five major families, a structure that preceded the Family's presence on the planet. Given this, it is possible that the Family adapts to its member world's local societies, while adding its own systems and influence, as seen with the Dreammaster, who was a representative of the Montour System's Family branch sent to oversee Penacony's integration. Sunday refers to Penacony as "just a small territory," so it is possible that planets deeper in Family territory may hold greater influence over the faction overall. The Family was formed some time after Xipe the Harmony's ascension during the Swarm Disaster, and has grown over the years since to encompass countless worlds. The Beyond the Sky Choir, a group following Ena the Order, are implied to have integrated into the Family. At some point, an unnamed man attended a grand theater hosted by the Family to investigate the happenings within the faction. The man unintentionally revealed his intentions while conversing with Renoir, questioning the faction's existence. Without a direct response, Renoir called for a waiter and presented him with a peculiar box. Under the influence of Renoir's distorted voice, the man unconsciously reached his hand into the box, acquiring a Family Ties. The entire audience coldly glared him down while wearing identical, eerie smiles, and with the same voice, began to tempt him to join them. Frightened by this, he forced the same smile in a bid for survival and escaped the theater.

Leader(s): Gopher Wood, Aeon: Xipe Subordinate Faction(s): Alfalfa Family, Bloodhound Family, Iris Family, Nightingale Family, Oak Family

Xipe, titled the Great One by THEIR followers, is an Aeon representing the Path of Harmony.

The Aeons are mysterious, godlike higher-dimensional beings who preside over the universe.

A Pathstrider is a term referring to those whose wills align closely to a Path, and therefore are able to draw power from it. The following is a list of all groups and characters who have been confirmed to be Pathstriders, or are implied strongly to be one. While an argument can be made for other characters whose wills align closely with a Path, characters where the word "Pathstrider" is never mentioned are not included.

Paths are congregations of imaginary energy, born as manifestations of universal philosophical concepts. Upon ascension, an Aeon gains power over a specific Path, free to choose the allocation of imaginary energy towards that path however THEY wish. A person is considered to be on a Path when their will overlaps with that Path. If the person has a strong enough will, they can draw power from it, becoming a Pathstrider. The Path that they happen to follow will change in accordance with their own philosophies and opinions. Aeons can use their designated Paths as THEY please after THEIR ascension, and are linked to it for the rest of THEIR existence. There are 18 Paths known to have existed, each with a corresponding Aeon and followers.

An Emanator is a term referring to those who have attained the permission of an Aeon to draw power from that Aeon's Path.

Order is a non-playable Path in Honkai: Star Rail. It corresponds with the Aeon Ena. Lore Associated Characters There are 5 characters related to the path of Order in the game's lore: Associated Characters: Cerydra, Ena, Gopher Wood, Sunday, Talanton

The Astral Express, also referred to as the Chromatic Echelon by the Xianzhou Alliance, is a large train that serves as one of the main settings, as well as the home for the Astral Express Crew. The Astral Express is not treated as its own world in Navigation, but is instead accessible from every world's area list. Currently, three cars can be accessed in-game: the Parlor Car, Party Car, and the Passenger Cabin. A buffet car has been mentioned, but has not been seen.

The Oak Family is one of the five great lineages of The Family on Penacony. They are in charge of political organization, and are the leader of the five lineages. Those of great ambition came together to assemble the Oak Family, and they are the ones responsible for forming the foundation for dreams. The Oak Family is in charge of the management and coordination of matters within the Dreamscapes. They are responsible for Penacony's rules and regulations and are shepherds in service of the Dreammaster's goals. Dewlight Pavilion is the main headquarters of the Oak Family, which is located in the Moment of Morning Dew. It is the place where high-level members discuss business. Halovians often bear responsibilities in the Oak Family. Bronze Melodia is a position exclusive to the Oak Family, akin to a high-ranked Confessor. Their job is to listen to the problems and vexations of Dreamscape residents and provide them with the relevant guidance. The Oak Family was founded by Magnoy, who was said to be a corrupt politician. After The Family arrived in Penacony, Gopher Wood assumed the position of Oak Family Head at some point. Later, he became the Dreammaster and the true leader of The Family in Penacony. He operated behind the scenes, pulling the strings, and delegated the majority of actual management to the Oak Family. Sunday succeeded him as the Oak Family Head. Traitors in the Oak Family, led by Gopher Wood and Sunday, planned to resurrect Ena the Order at the Charmony Festival of 2158 AE. Sunday seized the power of the Harmony by controlling Dominicus with the 107,336 souls of the Oak Family. The entire Asdana system was affected by Ena's Dream. Their scheme was eventually thwarted by the Astral Express Crew with the help of Acheron, Black Swan, Boothill, Firefly, and Robin.

Gopher Wood died 3 hours before the Charmony Festival began for unknown reason. Sunday was arrested by The Family, but Robin made a deal with Jade who secretly released him. The head position has been succeeded by Robin since the Sunday incident.

Leader(s): Robin, Sunday (former)

A Halovian singer born in Penacony and rose to cosmic fame. An elegant and demure young lady. This time, she has been invited home by The Family to grace everyone with a song at the Charmony Festival. She can use the power of Harmony to broadcast her music, manifesting "resonance" among not only her fans but all manner of lifeforms.

Relatives Unnamed mother – death Robin (younger twin sister) – alive Gopher Wood (adoptive father) – death

The dream of the Order has dissipated, yet there are still those who will not give up on their original intent. — The traveler whose wings were clipped... whereto shall his footsteps lead? He was temporarily an Emanator of Harmony after usurping the Harmonious Choir.

Harmony is one of the eight playable Paths in Honkai: Star Rail. It corresponds with the Aeon Xipe. "The world is in harmony and the stars shine bright. Praise the Lord! All are connected and the wind of blessing breathes across the lands!" — Odes of Harmony, I A plural Aeon from multiple harmonious worlds. The glorious Xipe of thousand faces is chanting songs of joy and happiness. To battle the brutality of the laws of the universe, intelligent lifeforms must discard their cowardly selfishness and the differences between individuals, fusing into one singular melody — to have the strong help the weak, and to protect life with death.

Sunday is a young man with fair skin and golden eyes with navy pupils. He has smooth, shoulder-length silver hair with a fringe swept up to the left, and wings of a similar color behind his ears. The left wing is pierced with two gold stud earrings, and he has a golden halo with details resembling eyes behind his head, which represents his Halovian heritage. Before his playable outfit, Sunday's design consisted of a white sleeveless coat, a light gray unbuttoned blazer, a black turtleneck with a golden ornament in the middle resembling an eye, and a navy colored, wing-like vest under his blazer. He also wore white gloves with golden, cross-shaped cut outs, as well as light gray pants and black loafers with gray outsoles. On his left he wore a golden ornament attached to a blue cape and tassel, and his coat and blazer were open from the back, exposing his vest. As a playable character, Sunday now wears a long-sleeved tailcoat, the sleeves stopping at just below the elbow. The tails of his coat are separated into five sections, and the right side of his coat is white, while the left side is dark blue. There are several golden ornaments on his coat, along with white straps that cross along his body. He also wears long black gloves and black pants with tall, dark blue and black boots. The inside of his coat is lined with gold, and he has a loose white scarf with a golden underside and decorum.

"To my dearest sister: I've eaten all the desserts you left for me! I can't help it — the pudding tarts were so delicious that I couldn't resist eating three of them before music class! Unfortunately, the loud witch teacher said my voice sounded like a snarl, and I sang like a duckling, so she sent me out for punishment. And guess what? I ended up eating a fourth tart outside the classroom! Fortunately, I've been practicing the piano diligently, and Mr. Big Guy always praises my talent. Now, I can play a melody in its original form after hearing it just once — just as awesome as you! When you come back next time, we can play together as a duet on the same piano, and we can have another concert! You don't need to worry about our little bird. It's been flying a bit higher each day. With the lovely weather we've been having lately, I'm sure it will be able to take flight soon! This afternoon, while I was tending to mom's grave, I spotted several birds looking like our bird. I know our little one will join them before long! How time flies! I've recently begun taking Family lessons from the Bronze Melodia in the church. That means — I'm gonna become a super, super awesome person in the future! Then, we will surely transform the Dreamscape into a super, super good place in the future! I've mailed some SoulGlad with innovative flavors together with this letter. Some of them are a bit unusual, but they're fun, and I really want you to give them a try. If you enjoy them, I'll be happy to send more! (And if you come across any delicious pudding tarts, send some on my way too!) Don't overwork yourself! Support you always! Your big brother" — An old family letter, hidden in the secret compartment of a suitcase

Penacony's Dreamscape is divided into twelve main discrete dream worlds, each corresponding to a "moment" on the clock: The starting point of all dreams. The Moment of Midnight is the starting point of all dreams. People tend to overlook this moment, believing there's nothing beyond the inky darkness it presents. Chuckles and laughter can be heard from entering the dream. When the first ray of sunlight shines over the horizon. Serenity is said to be where the most terrifying convicts and "interesting people" are held and the jail can be seen on the Nightmare's edge. The start of a day. Morning Dew is where the majestic Dewlight Pavilion stands, providing a place for high-level members of the Oak Family to discuss business and is where one would go to meet the Family. Presumably based on the early morning. Daybreak is where the Dawn Factory is located, one of the many "imagination factories" which processes the foundation of the dreamscape and where workers create all kinds of whimsical works day in and day out in their dreams such as garments. Presumably the moment before noon. Gilded Hour is Penacony's Currency Center where the exquisitely dressed Pepeshi people of the Alfalfa Family keep fortress-like financial city that is the economic heart of Penacony running, always in a hurry to deposit the Alfalfa credits that they earned into the bank's vault and sending blood that is made from money everywhere on Penacony. The moment that strikes noon. Sol is steeped in Penacony's history and civilization and contain's Penacony's Grand Museum, the Primal Waking Library and the Penacony Paperfold University College. Presumably afternoon. Oasis has natural scenes such as Sunshine Park and a beach.

Presumably the moment before dusk. Scorchsand has vast fields, wild winds, taverns, and a "festive choice" of venue. It also hosts the SoulGlad™ Scorchsand Audition Venue. Presumably dusk. Blue Hour is said to be very romantic, featuring a dock, a large boat called the "Eventide" anchored along the Sea of Dreams where extravagant balls and marriage services are organized, and an airship called the Radiant Feldspar that sails through all dreamscapes. Based on the 11th hour of the clock. Stars has an amusement park, clubs, casinos, and various sporting competitions, including Spheroid, Roboball, and Unicycler. Based on the moment before midnight. Golden Hour is said to be the most prosperous "Moment" in Penacony, showcasing an entire city bathed in luxury and is the location of the Penacony Grand Theater.

SoulGlad is a popular beverage on Penacony known as the "beverage of dreams." SoulGlad is available in multiple flavors, including Classic, Ice, Explosion, Dreamscape Blue Ring Squid & Plant Ash[4] and the "legendary" Epochal flavor. While described to have magical dream-related properties, it is currently unknown whether this is simply an exaggeration made by the advertisement or a real property of the drinks. A large section of Aideen Park is dedicated to enjoying the beverage, featuring a giant bottle that periodically shoots bursts of SoulGlad into the air.

"To my dearest sister: I received the records you sent and played along with a few songs — they were wonderful. The record store on Penacony is now bustling with activity, and posters of your new album are adorning the streets everywhere. There are so many people complimenting you and asking if they can get your autograph. It's probably for the best that you're not coming back right now. Penacony has changed. Dreamchasers are flocking in, and the economy is booming like never before. However, the Dreamscape has become much more chaotic than it used to be. I never would have imagined that the Bronze Melodia would face such significant challenges. Entrepreneurs have imposed extremely unreasonable working hours to monopolize the industry, forcing workers in the Dreamscape to work twelve-hour shifts before they can take a break — only to receive meager paychecks in return. Speculative and high-risk industries are all over Penacony, where dreamchasers arrive with lofty aspirations, only to find themselves among the destitute... Recently, a stowaway approached me for help, explaining that he had spent everything he had just to stay on Penacony, only to be discovered by the Bloodhound Family. He assured me that he would repay all his debts later, which is why I asked the Bloodhound Family to show him some leniency. However, every time I consider how many others like him there are on Penacony, I can't help but wonder if everyone has the opportunity to make the right choices. If I've calculated correctly, you should be starting your next concert tour by the time this letter reaches you. You don't have to worry about Penacony. I know you are a kind person, but not everyone shares your heart. Always remember to take care of yourself. There For You Always, Sunday" — A yellowed family letter, stored in a record case.

The Bloodhound Family is one of the five great lineages of The Family on Penacony, which is in charge of security and are the guardians of Penacony's safety and order.

"To my dearest sister: I have received the galactic specialties. The Charmony Festival is approaching, and I'm busy with the preparations, but I'll make sure to savor them when I find the time. About the traitor in The Family... I've been informed. Your suspicions are correct. This matter is indeed linked to the deaths you observed, and it's even more connected to the mysterious Watchmaker. But since you have been away from Penacony for a long time and may not be familiar with the situation here, I would advise that you refrain from acting rashly. Regarding your loss of voice, your top priority should be to recuperate. If you are genuinely unwell, I will consult the Dreammaster about the Charmony Festival to see if we can have a special arrangement. You believe the loss of voice stems from the impure nature of Penacony's Harmony, and I concur. Unfortunately, the only thing that seems truly pure in Penacony is prhaps human "greed." I'm sorr█. █████ ████████ ███ ████ ██ ███ ██████, I haven't ████████ █████████ ██████ █████ with you, ███ ████'█ ██ fault. █ ████ detest the evils ██ ██████████ ███ ██ █████ █████ ████ ███████ the splendor of the sweet dream ███ █████, corruption, and decadence. Since becoming the head of the Family, there have been many things I can't say and many actions I can't take, but that doesn't mean I'm unaware of what's happening in the Dreamscape. While we may both be walking on new paths, I can assure you that I have never failed to uphold the promises I've made. Head of the Oak Family, Sunday Dewlight Pavilion, Moment of Morning Dew Penacony (Dreamscape) Asdana system" — A recent family letter with messy handwriting and many redactions

The Charmony Festival is an important event held by The Family, meant to spread joy and harmony across the cosmos in celebration of Xipe, the Aeon of Harmony.

Dewlight Pavilion is an area in Penacony's Dreamscape, unlocked after completing the Trailblaze Mission Double Indemnity. Dewlight Pavilion's reception hall. The receptionists are frequently loafing about due to the scarce visitors. The spacious main hall of the residence. The leaders of the five major lineages regularly gather to discuss the situation and plan for the Dreamscape. A finely crafted city sandpit is placed at the center of the hall. The jewel refracts dazzling light, like people's burning desire for wealth. In this war, who will be able to claim it?

Asdana is a star system best known for housing the planet Penacony, often referred to as the "Planet of Festivities."

"To my dearest sister: It's been quite a while since I wrote a letter. I may not be able to contact you for a while from now on, but I assure you, this will not be the last letter you receive from me. A path full of hope can often be a path of full temptation, and thanks to all of you, I haven't strayed too far. In my current position, there's little I can do to make amends except to eliminate the lingering echoes of Order that remain on Penacony. By doing this, I can ensure that there are no more hidden dangers of Order in the Dreamscape. To catch a glimpse of the sky, even a bird with a broken wing will choose to take flight again. Just like the little bird we raised together as children, it soared into the heavens despite knowing it might fall — because that was its destiny. I will never forget our shared wish to "make everyone happy," but now I must embark on a journey to seek fulfillment in the wider world. This is my destiny and my choice. Mr. Yang (Welt) has granted me permission to board the Express and travel as a passenger in search of my promised land. They are kind and of noble character. You should know them better than I do. Many times, even when you don't say it, I still see you as a child who needs protection. But you've long since grown up, and I'm truly relieved that Penacony has you. I have tended to Mom's grave and picked a blue flower to carry with me. She will continue to bless us as always. Finally, thank you for the giantmoa pudding tarts. They still carry that same nostalgic taste after all these years. On the road, Your big brother" — An unsigned letter, left in a certain corner of the Dreamscape

Sunday: May I help you, (sir/ma'am)? Icon Dialogue Talk Just wanted to chat with you, Sunny. Sunday: ...I'll tell you everything I know, but I'd prefer not to be called that in the future. Icon Dialogue Talk Life on the Express... Sunday: Please ask away. But I might not have a lot to share since I've only recently came on board. Icon Dialogue Talk About the companions on the Express... Sunday: I'm trying to connect with everyone using my new identity, but I may need some time due to my personality. Sunday: Mr. Yang showed me the captivating way of the Trailblaze during our travels. Truth be told, you've all been great teachers. Sunday: The conductor (Pom-Pom) taught me about the history of the Nameless, Dan Heng showed me the extensive knowledge stored in the data bank, and even from Miss March 7th, I've learned... Sunday: ... Sunday: A lot. About your book... Sunday: It was a gift I received, and it arrived blank. Sunday: Did you mistake it for some type of classic text or something? It's not entirely inaccurate, though. I wrote some pages myself. Sunday: In a way, it symbolizes a chapter of my life. Icon Dialogue Talk What have you been up to lately? Sunday: Most of the time, I've been reflecting in solitude while waiting for our departure. Sunday: I wanted to contribute, but I wasn't sure how. The conductor just told me to wait patiently. Sunday: Yet... as I look at the spacious car, I feel a strong urge to organize it that likely stems from boredom... Icon Dialogue Return Talk about something else... Icon Dialogue Talk About Sunday... Sunday: My past isn't worth mentioning. But may I ask what piqued your curiosity? Icon Dialogue Talk About The Family...

Sunday: the Planet of Festivities is certainly well-known, but among The Family's many territories, it is merely a "hotel" at best. Sunday: Perhaps we'll visit more domains of the Harmony someday. I'll make sure to excuse myself to avoid any complications. Sunday: There is but one place that lingers in my thoughts, though. Icon Dialogue Talk About the IPC... Sunday: The shadow of Lady Bonajade still looms over me. Sunday: She shared some intriguing words with me before she left. She said that if I cannot find the answer I seek among the stars, the Strategic Investment Department... will be the last refuge for the lost. Sunday: Perhaps one day, someone will find me and ask me to pay the price of freedom. I am ready for that, and I will certainly not be a burden to any of you. About Robin... Sunday: You may find this confusing, but among my worries, she is not one of them. Sunday: She can take care of herself... I should have admitted that long ago. Sunday: All I want is to lead the way for her. It's not about sibling rivalry. There are unknown hardships ahead, and I wish to face them first. Icon Dialogue Talk About your outfit... Sunday: I am a fugitive, after all, and I shouldn't draw attention. I changed out of the family head's outfit the moment I gained my freedom. Sunday: Even though I was about to start my penance, I wanted to keep it for its sentimental value, but I lost it in Penacony. Sunday: Perhaps this is some sort of sign. Icon Dialogue Return I have another question... About the destination... Sunday: It's funny that I never imagined I would be traveling with the Nameless one day. Icon Dialogue Talk Are you planning to join the trailblazing journey? Sunday: You mean, will I disembark when we reach the destination? Absolutely, I want to explore more of the world for the sake of my ascetic journey. Sunday: Even without the power of the Order, I will do my utmost to lend a hand if needed.

Any destinations you're interested in? Sunday: I do have a few ideas in mind, but as a mere hitchhiker, it's not really my place to weigh in. Sunday: Creating a paradise remains my lifelong ambition. When I obtained permission and accessed the data bank, I came across many references to this concept throughout the universe. Sunday: They go by different names — Kingdom of Heaven, Pure Land, Blissful Realm... Hopefully, I can visit these places to see if they truly live up to their names. Icon Dialogue Talk About the Eternal Centurion... Sunday: Are you concerned that I won't be able to escape its wrath, no matter where I go? Rest assured, if that were truly a possibility, I wouldn't have made the request to board the Express. Sunday: The Family may wish to eliminate me, but as long as I'm not rallying a sizable army, they wouldn't go so far as to involve the Eternal Centurion. Sunday: Since its inception, it was never meant to be used against a single person. Icon Dialogue Return Talk about something else... That's all for now. Sunday: My best regards, as always. Icon Dialogue Exit It's nothing. Sunday: My best regards, as always. (Upon completing Trailblaze Mission A New Venture on the Eighth Dawn, available once) Icon Dialogue Talk Regarding Amphoreus... Sunday: Are we leaving for the next stop? Icon Dialogue Talk How much do you know about Amphoreus? Sunday: Nothing, I've not even heard of the name. Sunday: I've been managing The Family's affairs since young, leaving me little time to travel afar. Sunday: And the world I know often... only consists of places where music tours are held. I've never explored them in depth. Icon Dialogue Exit Nothing much. Still have to wait. Sunday: My best regards, as always.
