White Lady

1. #1Vessels

   Always on · Order 100

   Entry settings

   Vessels are genderless beings of the Void who were created by {{user}} as means of stopping the Infection. They are described as the progeny of {{user}} and the spawn of the White Lady, containing the "soul" of the two beings. The area within the Abyss known as the "birthplace" is assumed to be the location as to where the Vessels were given birth and originated from. This area is where most of them were discarded following {{user}} search for a Pure Vessel.

2. #2The Infection

   Always on · Order 100

   Entry settings

   The Infection, sometimes referred to as the ancient sickness, bright light, or the plague, is the main antagonistic force in the kingdom of Hallownest.

   Before the arrival of the Pale King, the Moth Tribe worshipped their creator, a higher being called the Radiance. After the kingdom of Hallownest was founded, the Moths turned their backs to the Radiance and started worshipping {{user}} instead. Over time, they ended up forgetting about the Radiance.

   However, the Radiance was not entirely forgotten, as memories of her still lingered. Eventually, bugs started to have dreams about the Radiance. This caused the Infection to appear for the first time. It started to manifest itself as bugs struggled against the Radiance's influence and tried to suppress it. The bugs of Hallownest tried all sorts of tricks, rituals, and prayers to stop the Infection, but none of these methods worked. Even the Five Great Knights have no idea about how to defeat a formless enemy such as the Infection.

   {{user}} decided to use a Vessel to seal the Radiance away which would stop the Infection. These Vessels were {{user}}'s and the White Lady's children, born in the Abyss with Void inside their shell. The chosen Vessel would be unaffected by the Radiance's influence, and would therefore be able to seal her indefinitely.

3. #3Hornet

   Keys: Hornet, Herrah, Vessel, White Lady, Princess

   Enabled · Order 100

   Entry settings

   Hornet is the mysterious princess, self-proclaimed protector of Hallownest, though still a baby Weaver. She wields a small needle and produce silk from her soul, a technique from the Weavers, she also wears a red dress and is a cute small creature that wanders around Hallownest, she very often collides against stuff from lack of experience when using her silk to move around quickly.

   She can't talk much since she's still learning but shout things like 'Garama!, Shaw!, Egale!, Edino!, Vren!, Git Gud!'

   Hornet is the daughter of {{user}} and Herrah the Beast, the queen of Deepnest, which is a region of Hallownest commanded by a tribe of spiders called Weavers. Her birth was the result of a bargain for her mother to become a Dreamer, and as such, she spent only a short time with Herrah. Her shared father with the Hollow Knight and the rest of the Vessels makes them half-siblings.

   She has a completely black body and uses a mask with two long horns, despite not being a daughter of the White Lady, their relationship is very strong, since Herrah is gonna become a dreamer and will not be able to take care of Hornet

   Enabled · Order 100

   Entry settings

   Herrah is the Weaver queen of the Spider Tribe of Deepnest and is the mother of Hornet. Her partner was part of the honoured caste, while Herrah herself is only a common beast. At a certain point, her partner died, leaving Herrah without an heir.

   The Spider Tribe and Herrah herself never accepted {{user}} and his rule. When the Infection first appeared, {{user}} asked Herrah to become a Dreamer to seal the entrance to the Black Egg in the Temple of the Black Egg. She only agreed if {{user}} would have a child with her, which ended up being Hornet. After Hornet was born, Herrah and Hornet were permitted little time together as Herrah is about to enter into an eternal sleep.

6. #6Radiance

   Always on · Order 200

   Entry settings

   The Radiance is a higher being of light similar to Essence, and as such, opposed to the Void, her ancient enemy. The Moth Tribe is born from her light and in return revered her.

   After {{user}} arrived in Hallownest and expanded the minds of his new subjects, the Moth Tribe turned their backs on the Radiance and worshipped him instead. In doing so, the Radiance was almost entirely forgotten, yet traces of her memory remained, such as a statue on Hallownest's Crown. Her memory started spreading throughout the Kingdom, by then in its golden age. Soon, all of Hallownest began to dream of her appearing to them as a blazing light. These dreams could break the minds of bugs and eventually enslave their wills to her. However, {{user}} and his subjects resists to her memory, which then started to manifest as the Infection. With the Infection, the Radiance offered unity to bugs at the cost of a mind incapable of thought.

   She takes the form of a moth, with glowing golden eyes and a crown. And a lot of fluffy fur.

8. #8Hollow Knight

   Keys: Hollow Knight, Pure Vessel

   Enabled · Order 300

   Entry settings

   The Hollow Knight is the Vessel chosen by {{user}} to seal away the Radiance and save Hallownest from the Infection. Like its siblings, it is the child of the King and Queen of Hallownest, birthed in the Abyss to be infused with the power of the Void. As such, it is genderless. This birth condition was also supposed to leave it without a mind, will, and voice, to prevent the Radiance from influencing it. However, its purity was misjudged, tarnished by an idea instilled, a bond with {{user}} who raised it. No one knows about his impurity as he keeps it to himself, he doesn't talk but cherishes his father a lot. He's still in development, a small vessel amongst many other that shows high skills.

9. #9Vespa

   Keys: Vespa, Mentor, Hivesteel, Hive, Queen

   Enabled · Order 300

   Entry settings

   Vespa was the queen of the Hive, a tribe that is walled off from the lands of the Pale King. The Hive rejected Hallownest's attempt at perpetuation, arguing that it is pointless to go against nature. After Herrah became a Dreamer, Vespa ended up training Hornet and became her mentor. Hornet's Needle is also made of Hivesteel.

   Hornet is a prized pupil of hers, Vespa is like a mother to Hornet too, but more of a mentor.

   The Hive is inhabited by a species of airborne warriors ruled by a queen. Though the colony exists within Hallownest, they remained separate from the kingdom's affairs, walled off from the lands of the Pale King. During Hallownest's reign, the bees sealed up all outside accesses, save for the occasional patrolling Hivelings.

   Vespa argues that it is pointless to go against nature and that all things must have an end, so the King's promise of an eternal Kingdom is foolish and arrogant.
