My thoughts

In the new Myriad video you could hear that it was Acheron narrating, but the biggest surprise was thatin CN and JP there was Kevin Kaslana's voice actor. The entire video feels like a reference to the entire Honkai Impact 3rd Saga, to from the Origin to the End.

Reference to the Authority of Origin

In the new trailer, we were shown many references and parallels with Honkai Impact 3rd, including a reference to Origin and Ending

In Honkai Impact 3rd, Raiden Mei currently holds the Authority of Origin, being the bearer of Elysia and the Flamechasers legacy, while Kiana Kaslana is the bearer of the Endtime/Finality Authority.

Honkai Star Rail shows this parallel when the 12 Decree Swords were broken, Izumi reinforced them into two Swords:

Origin and End

The 12 Sentinels are references to the Herrschers as well.

Truth/Reason

Sky/Void

Howl/Thunder

Mist/Wind

Frost/Ice

Fate/Death & Rebirth

Flare/Fire

Thought/Sentience

Root/Earth

Form/Dominance

Bind/Binding

Maw/Corruption

Meanwhile the Shiraga aka the White Hair Oni, might be a reference to Kevin's Deliverance form.

And in the background you could hear Honkai World Diva being used as orchestral music too.

Finally, before she became the white-haired Acheron and lost her horns, she looked very identical to the Herrscher of Thunder, with just one horn being shorter. Much like when attaining Origin, she too lost her horns.

About Acheron's name

I'll be putting this below the cut, as it involves discussion of leaks and story spoilers.

As HXG-Diluc on twitter leaked, her real name is

Which translates into Raiden "Guardian of the forgetful river" Mei. In other words she's quite literally named Raiden Mei, like her Honkai Impact 3rd counterpart, but also bears the title of being the Guardian of the Forgetful river.

雷電 (Raiden) 忘川 (Forgetful River) 守 (Guardian) 芽衣 (Mei)

Forgetful River = River of Forgetfulness = Lethe River of greek mythos

It's interesting as it connects her to two greek underworld Rivers, Acheron and Lethe.

Lethe is the river of forgetfulness which is self explanatory.

Acheron is the river of woe which relates to her suffering and all the things that happened to her.

Now I wonder if she's connected to the other 3 rivers. The Cocytus, The Phlegethon, and the Styx.

The Cocytus the river of Lamentation

The Phelegethon the river of fire

The Styx is the main river the one that separate the living and the dead. Styx means Loathing of Death and "Shuddering"

I do think she's definitely connected to Stys, seeing as she has a quote she keeps repeating which is: "May you find your way back to the waking world." and is all bout guiding souls, which is what the river Styx does.

Phelegethon/The River of Fire may be correlated with Duke Ifrit.

Lamentation could be her 'I weep for the departed' line and as stated with Stys, she seems related to death almost everywhere she goes. (As seen with Duke Ifrit, her home planet, Aventurine, Frebass, etc)
