A recent leak about “Honkai: Star Rail” has dropped some intriguing info regarding Castorice, one of the new characters from the Chrysos Heirs. With Version 3.0 launching in January, players are eagerly gearing up for a journey to Amphoreus, a planet that draws inspiration from ancient Greek culture.
Known as “The Eternal Land,” Amphoreus marks the fourth major celestial body in “Honkai: Star Rail.” It’s a curious locale that even Akivili the Trailblaze hasn’t reached in their adventures. Details about this world are still sparse, but we do know that the Chrysos Heirs play a key role in reviving it after a millennium-long conflict between gods and mortals.
Among the Chrysos Heirs is the character Castorice. She’s introduced in the Golden Epic trailer as the protector of the River of Souls, otherwise referred to as Styx. Fans speculate she might be inspired by Charon from Greek mythology, who ferried souls across the Underworld. However, a notable leaker named Seele Leaks suggests that Castorice is one of the Three Titans of Calamity, representing “Thanatos, Hand of Grey.” Her connection to death is symbolized by the Coreflame of Death she wields, which explains why in the “The Worlds You’ve Never Been” teaser, a flower petal disintegrates in her grasp.
For those fascinated by mythological ties, Castorice’s link to death echoes the Greek god Thanatos, who personified death by gently claiming the lives of the dying. This aligns with Castorice’s role as she appears to wield the ability to end life with a mere touch. The Hodkai: Star Rail fan community buzzes with discussions, particularly about the mysterious Coreflame and the Chrysos Heirs’ fiery pursuits.
Players are keenly awaiting the chance to play as Castorice alongside other Chrysos Heirs characters next year. Rumors suggest she might be a Quantum-type Remembrance character debuting in Version 3.2, though the details might evolve in coming months. HoYoverse is lining up what looks to be an exciting expedition on Amphoreus, slated for January 15, 2025.
