Honkai: Star Rail Leak Reveals Intriguing Details About Castorice, Guardian of the River of Souls

A recent Honkai: Star Rail leak has unveiled fascinating information about Castorice, an upcoming character tied to the Chrysos Heirs. Starting in Version 3.0, set to launch in January 2025, the game will introduce fans to the mysterious planet Amphoreus, which draws inspiration from Greek mythology.

Amphoreus: The Eternal Land

Known as “The Eternal Land,” Amphoreus is Honkai: Star Rail's fourth major planet. Not even Akivili the Trailblazer is said to have reached this enigmatic world. Little is currently known about Amphoreus, except that the Chrysos Heirs, a powerful faction, are credited with reviving the planet after a millennium of strife between mortals and gods.

Who Is Castorice?

One notable member of the Chrysos Heirs is Castorice, introduced in the Golden Epic trailer as the guardian of the River of Souls, also known as Styx. Fans have speculated that Castorice might be inspired by Charon, the ferryman of souls in Greek mythology. However, a prominent leaker, Seele Leaks, has revealed that Castorice may actually be one of the "Three Titans of Calamity," embodying "Thanatos, Hand of Grey."

In Greek mythology, Thanatos is the personification of peaceful death, often depicted as gently touching those nearing the end of their lives. This theme aligns with Castorice's role as the River of Souls' guardian and her ability to kill living beings with a single touch. Further evidence of her connection to death lies in her possession of the Coreflame of Death, which was subtly hinted at in The Worlds You've Never Been teaser trailer, where a flower petal withered in her hands.

The Mystery of the Coreflame

The Coreflame of Death has sparked significant curiosity among fans. Many wonder what this mysterious artifact represents and why the Chrysos Heirs are tied to the concept of Flame-Chasing. While HoYoverse has yet to provide answers, the enigmatic nature of the Coreflame adds depth to Castorice’s lore and the broader narrative of Amphoreus.

What to Expect From Castorice

Players are eager to see Castorice and the other Chrysos Heirs become playable in Honkai: Star Rail next year. Rumors suggest that Castorice could debut as a Quantum-type Remembrance character in Version 3.2, though this information is subject to change. Regardless, her introduction promises to bring an exciting new dynamic to the game.

With Amphoreus launching on January 15, 2025, and Castorice poised to become a significant figure in the story, Honkai: Star Rail fans have much to look forward to. Whether unraveling the mysteries of the Chrysos Heirs or exploring the breathtaking world of Amphoreus, the next chapter of the game is shaping up to be one of its most thrilling yet.
