The latest entry in A Traveler’s Guide to the Planes sends us into one of the most mysterious parts of the Honkai Nexus Anima universe: the Aspects. These are not just random powers. They are the philosophical and scientific foundations that once held the world together.
The Old World
Back in the Old World, everything was neatly paired: Light and Dark, Life and Death, and many more. These Aspects were not just abstract ideas, they had Sovereigns, rulers of the mortal world, who wielded their powers with authority.
The New World
Then came the Sundering, shattering the Old World and breaking it into 81 separate universes, or “Planes.” In this New World, the Aspects work differently. They are independent now, each existing on its own, and their rulers are called Novarchs, each controlling one of the 81 Planes.
The shift from paired Aspects to independent ones hints at a deeper mystery! How will the New World evolve and how the Novarchs’ powers might influence the fate of each Plane?
For travelers exploring this fragmented universe, understanding Aspects might just be the key to surviving! And maybe it will even help you thrive in these new realms.
