The Cremators

Many individuals obsess over the glory of the past and aspire to become Memokeepers, longing to live within their memories. Such individuals often degenerate into unbridled Cremators, distorting memories to suit their preferences.

— A Memokeeper's memories^[1]

The Cremators is a faction of rogue Memokeepers and ex-Memokeepers^[2] of the Garden of Recollection in Honkai: Star Rail.

Description

"Worthless memories dissolve in time, like tears in rain..."

— From the memories of Memokeeper Roy Hampton before execution, 2053 AE

In the Garden of Recollection where memories of the universe are sought and kept, hides a group of extreme Memokeepers who view the marks of existence differently. Instead of treasuring all that has taken place like their colleagues, they believe that there are different qualities and priorities of memories in the world, and that the pure land created by Fuli should not be taken up by worthless memories.

The Cremators believe that they bear the sacred duty of filtering memories for the Aeons. They steal the stored memories that Memokeepers have gathered and rank them in order of importance. The ones that they deem worthy are returned to the collection, whereas the ones arbitrarily deemed unworthy are completely destroyed, never to be found again.

The Cremators claim that they are cleaning out the garbage, all in hopes of relieving some of Fuli's burdens, and contributing to the glorious sacred grounds of Remembrance. However, the Garden of Recollection scoffed and saw no reason for their actions, for the smallest shard of memory in the universe holds just as great of importance as the grandest of feats. No mortal has the right to judge the value of any piece of memory.

History

Not much is currently known about the exploits of the Cremators besides their responsibility for something known as "Holstein Aphasia" that occurred in early 2157 AE. The Cremators took the memories of "language" from the residents of Holstein, removing their ability to produce speech. With the help of the IPC, the residents of Holstein were able to communicate through writing while the Galaxy Rangers attempted to track down the stolen memories.^[3]

The Dahlia

About Self: Betrayal  ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ I joined the Garden of Recollection out of my dislike for the unchanging Destruction. Soon after that, I grew tired of the rotten Remembrance and have been walking this universe as a Cremator ever since. Some say that it is in my instincts to betray, but I say that I enjoy the moment of "betrayal." Even if my heart bleeds in pain when I tear apart the shackles of fate, I still feel such an unparalleled delight... Knowledge: Memory Aesthetics  ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ Wantonly editing memories or burning them all up without a second thought... That's how unbelievably banal my colleagues often are. But I like to wait. I wait for glorious things to fall into the past, for them to rot bit by bit like a pile of fallen petals, until they are covered with worms named lament and hatred. Then, under candlelight, I finally pick cherished mementos to be buried with them... The thought alone is intoxicating...

Trivia

• The quote from Roy Hampton is a reference to a monologue from the 1982 science fiction film Blade Runner with the original line being "All these moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain." Both the name of the speaker and the surrounding context of the quote bear similarities to the original.
  • This quote is also referenced by the Achievement Lost Like Tears in Rain and during Acheron Trailer — "Your Color".
