Throughout our journeys in Star Rail, we have met a few of the IPC's Ten Stonehearts, elite members of the IPC who each possess a unique Cornerstone. In this video, I go over what we know about the Stonehearts, and what we could see from them in the future.

The thing about Aventurine cracking the cornerstone wasn't related to him being able to access its power, it was about fooling Sunday. That also caused him to be able to access only a small amount of its power.

Just a few things of note: Opal is confirmed to be a male through Aven's dialogue during the story. There's also an IPC employee named Thea at the hills of creation on Belobog who states there are 11 directors, so Diamond + 10 stonehearts!

Definition of Cornerstone: an important quality or feature on which a particular thing depends or is based. This puts a whole new meaning to Stonehearts, it isn’t referring to people who have a heart made of stone, but rather explains that their heart is their cornerstone. The Aventurine Stone is also known as the Gambler Stone, it brings opportunity, and attracts prosperity. This gemstone being Kakavasha’s cornerstone makes a lot of sense. Topaz stone calms a bad temper, it also improves mental clarity, focus and increases confidence. In Topaz’s demo (or trailer?), she’s teaching a whole class on how to collect debt. Topaz is full of confidence, confidence that even Aventurine doesn’t possess. Her cornerstone is a perfect fit. We’ve heard of Opal, Obsidian, Jade, Pearl and Diamond. This amounts to a total of 7 of the 10 Stonehearts, I am including Diamond into the count because they would also depict themselves as a Stoneheart, as someone whose heart is a cornerstone. The Diamond Gemstone absorbs and amplifies the thoughts of its user, as well as the strengths and weaknesses of other gems. The Diamond was also used as detoxification against poison, since it was said to protect against it. Most of these descriptions can automatically link Diamond to the creation of the Cornerstones, and this has lead me to believe that Cornerstones were originally Amber Stones fallen from Qlipoth’s very own body, until Diamond came and used the Path of Preservation to make them into something more. This is why all of the Stonehearts say “All for the Amber Lord”, because their heart, their cornerstone, although shaped by Diamond, originated from the Amber Lord. I’ll look into the other Stonehearts we’ve been told about and leave a description of their gemstone in a reply under this comment, and then I’ll take a guess as to what the remaining 3 unknown Stonehearts could potentially be.

Jade is a Stone of Serenity thought to alleviate anxiety, fear and to promote good luck. Jade not only brings prosperity, but encourages its wearer to hold on to money. A traditional charm for gardeners, jade is said to ensure bountiful harvests. In Jade’s splash art, we are given the description of, “She's willing to wait patiently for high-value acquisitions and adept at extracting value from seemingly destitute clients.”, which indicates that she definitely ensures a bountiful harvest, a monetary harvest. Serenity is the state of being calm, peaceful, and untroubled. The Serenity of Jade is her Stoneheart.

The Pearl is a special gemstone, in the fact that it is one of the very few gemstones that are produced organically. The Pearl Gemstone is often symbolized as pure, innocent, and is often associated with the moon and the ocean. With no effective information about the Stoneheart Pearl, I want to throw in the absolute crack theory that she was once a faithful follower of Beauty, a Mirror Holder, and in some turn of fate, is now a faithful follower of Preservation. (The only reason why I’m making this crack theory is because the Pearl also symbolizes Beauty, and that’s all I needed to start theorizing. The Amber gemstone is also another organic gemstone, so I’m just momentarily assuming until further evidence, that all organic gemstones symbolize something divine, something Aeonic.)

The Opal Gemstone symbolizes hope, creativity, transformation, emotion. The Eye Stone is full of color in incredible union, it is a Queen of Gems that doesn’t resemble any of the others, but shines the colors of numerous gems, such as the fiery red of Garnet, the glorious green of Emerald, and the resplendent purple of Amethyst. This gemstone enhances the emotions, the good, the bad, the ugly. It makes the individual look at their emotions in an entirely new light. The biggest characteristics of Opal, is their symbol of hope, and gift of insight. I can only imagine that the Stoneheart Opal is just the same.

The Stone of Truth, Obsidian is believed to possess very strong properties that encourage self-reflection and reveal hidden truths. It serves as a powerful gemstone for those seeking to understand themselves on a deeper level. Obsidian is not a Gem, it’s a naturally occurring volcanic glass, originally being magma that simply cooled down very quickly. Obsidian is rather brittle, but it’s edges are very sharp. If these qualities of Obsidian translate over to the Stoneheart Obsidian, it would suggest that they were originally an entity of Magma, (or an individual who is closely connected to a volcano), but their origin has since then vastly changed to something else.

Now, for the 3 unknown Stonehearts, I want to presume that the Amber Gemstone is a possibility, and … it is a possibility, but at the same time, that Gemstone may be one highly worshipped as Qlipoth’s Cornerstone, and … either Qlipoth is a Stoneheart, or there is no Amber Cornerstone. And if Qlipoth was considered a Cornerstone, I’m vastly sure we would’ve been told about that by now. There is something called the Iolite Gemstone (iolite), and this gemstone apparently has something to do with the elimination of debt, and since the Stonehearts deal with debt, it feels like Iolite would be a potential possibility. The Stone of Prophecy, Prehnite, would be an interesting cornerstone, one with potential connections to the Aeon of Finality?

@Leggoo383 2 ай бұрын

One thing I noticed that you didn't specify was that the emanator powers granted by the cornerstones originate from diamond himself. Essentially diamond shares his emanator powers with the other nine members of the stonehearts.

It's a crystal rock, so maybe it is classified as a gemstone.

I might be looking too much into it however in the Myriad Celestia trailer about the IPC theres a scene where a guy throws down some gems, theres only eight but a few look familiar. Theres Topaz, Diamond, and I believe the two of the three green ones are Aventurine and Jade, if this is a hint and not some random scene then the other stone hearts we might get are. Amethyst, possibly Emerald, and the blue one is either Zircon or Aquamarine. It's been awhile since I've researched gemstones but these are my best guesses. (Also one of the gems might be obsidian but it's hard to tell because of how the light hits it) I both love and hate the IPC, characters like Topaz and Aventurine are pretty lovable but the company as a whole is definitely corrupt. Not only do they ditch planets then demand debt repayment, but there's also a hint in Aventurine story that they might have also been the 'men in black' that sold him into slavery. So it's going to be interesting to see what kind of person Jade is.

Are they something like Fatui Harbingers and the stones are their Delusions or are they HSR's equivalent of Archon/Gnosis? (I'm still new to the game)

@SiliconOneFour 2 ай бұрын

Something like a Delusion, but none of the bad side effects. Just power from a higher being (Emanator in this case).

@kirankurusu5845 2 ай бұрын

Not really fatui harbingers...literally just space IRS. The preservation Aeon is (from what I understand) is kinda benevolent and builds interstellar walls to protect galaxies from outside threats. The IPC helps the aeon by gathering materials through trade. Thats why theres credit and why its the widely used currency.

There was some dialogue between her and Topaz after the Aventurine fight which is when it happened.

@MaxOutGuy Ай бұрын

Im not sure but i think diamond isnt actually counted in the ten stonehearts and is just the leader of them. An ipc npc in belobog named Thea when you ask about topaz says that there are 11 directors in her department which i would assume means that diamond isnt counted among the ten and is just the leader. So this would mean that there are still 4 unknown stonehearts
