Two Chor Sentinels (Silksong)

In Hollow Knight: Silksong, the Choir is one of Pharloom's major organizations, linked to the Citadel. 🎵 What is the Choir? The Choir is simultaneously a religious organization, a military force, and a body of Citadel attendants. Its members literally sustained the sacred singing within the Citadel. Originally, their song served a far more critical purpose: keeping the Grand Mother Silk in a state of slumber. Notably, most members of the Choir were unaware of the true reason for their service. Hollow Knight Wiki +1 Once the Cogwork Core—capable of sustaining the song on its own—was created, the need for the Choir's constant singing vanished. Hollow Knight Wiki 🏛️ Who makes up the Choir? It comprises a rather extensive hierarchy: Pilgrims — rank-and-file members of the Choir. Disciples — higher-ranking attendants. Envoys — guides and leaders within the Choir. Hollow Knight Wiki Choristers — trained combatants who wield needles and Silk. Hollow Knight Wiki Bellbearers — flying attendants carrying golden bells. Hollow Knight Wiki Ministers and Maestros — high-ranking officials. Conductors — the organization's leadership. Additionally, the Choir includes the attendants of Whiteward, such as surgeons and gravediggers. Hollow Knight Wiki 🕸️ Why do they attack Hornet? This is where things get interesting. After the Grand Mother Silk began influencing the Citadel, she started possessing members of the Choir via the Silk within their bodies. The possessed were sent beyond Pharloom's borders to hunt down the descendants of the Weavers. Then, the order was given to find Hornet. That is precisely why Hornet ends up captured and brought to Pharloom. Hollow Knight Wiki In other words, the Choir was not necessarily an evil organization in the conventional sense at the outset. Many of its members were simply fulfilling their roles, unaware of the true nature of events. The situation changed after the onset of the "Haunting." In short: The Choir is a religious-military organization of the Citadel of Pharloom; it once used its singing to keep the Great Mother Silk in a slumber, yet subsequently became an instrument of her influence itself. This makes the Choir's storyline quite tragic: many of its members effectively become victims of the very power they served. Hornet is the daughter of the Pale King and Herra the Beast, making her half heir to Hallownest and half Weaver. After the fall of Hallownest, she became its protector. In the first Hollow Knight, she meets a Knight who turns out to be her brother. After the events of the first game, Hornet is kidnapped and taken to Farlum. In Silksong, she is freed and begins to climb through Farlum, trying to understand why she was kidnapped. She encounters Great Mother Silk and learns more about her Weaver heritage. Depending on the player's actions, Hornet can change Farlum's fate in different ways. In a nutshell: Hornet is a princess, warrior and heir of two nations, who transforms from the defender of Hallownest into a heroine trying to deal with her origins and the fate of Farlum.
