Revision 5

Overview

Augran is a named NPC in Honor of Kings: World's lore, documented on the official Honor of Kings worldview portal. He is the Seer of the Misty Marshes and the leader of the Order of the Seers. The portal describes him as "the ruthless High Priest who commands the power of life and death, and the only one who can put an end to the Wilting." He is both a Second Seer and a major story figure tied to the central decay crisis of the Misty Marshes.

Backstory: From Qi to Augran

Per the Augran hero story on the portal, his original name was Qi. The full portal quote: "Qi's life should have been filled with light and joy. He was friendly, outgoing, and full of youth and laughter. But then the Wilting happened, and a sudden disaster took all of his friends overnight. Qi carries this pain in his heart as he marches on. With his spear, he cut himself off from the past and settled in the marshes. Now, he is Augran, the ruthless High Priest who commands the power of life and death, and the only one who can put an end to the Wilting."

The transformation from Qi to Augran is one of the most vivid character arcs documented on the portal. The name change marks a decisive break from his former identity: the cheerful youth Qi "cut himself off from the past" and became the solitary, grim priestly figure Augran.

Second Seer Status

Per the Misty Marshes region page, Augran is one of the Second Seers, a group that emerged after the First Seers gave their lives repairing the Sky Dome. The region page describes them: "Many years later, a group of newborn children being washed in the Flowers of Life were gifted the same marks as those of the First Seers by the Heavenly Tree... they became the Second Seers. Among them, Donghuang, Augran, and Dongjun were of similar age and were once good friends." This places Augran alongside Donghuang as historical peers, which makes the contrast between their current paths (Donghuang leads the Omniscient rebels while Augran leads the Order of the Seers) a central piece of Misty Marshes political drama.

Role in the Order of the Seers

The Order of the Seers is the official faction of the Misty Marshes, headquartered in Spritefly Forest. As leader of the Order, Augran is both its spiritual authority and its practical defender against threats to the Sky Dome and the Heavenly Tree. His title as High Priest reflects his priestly role in maintaining the ceremonies and lifeforce exchange that sustain the Misty Marshes.

Corrections From Earlier Drafts

Earlier wiki drafts speculated about Augran's connection to a "Nine Seers prophecy" that would "patch up the sky." The portal does not frame the Nine Seers as prophesied future saviors; they are the current custodians of the Sky Dome and the Misty Marshes. Augran is not described as a Seer "who will" do something; he is described as the Seer "who can put an end to the Wilting." The portal also does not describe Augran as "wielding the power of life and death" via any specific magical technique; that phrasing is a direct portal quotation rather than an inference.

Status in Honor of Kings: World

Augran is canonical Honor of Kings IP lore and applies to both the Honor of Kings MOBA and Honor of Kings: World, which share the same Primaera continent continuity. Augran is a MOBA playable hero, a High Priest connected to the Wilting. He is not a playable Resonance at S0 launch, and direct Honor of Kings: World appearances have not been confirmed in published Chinese sources.
