After searching for the right Vessel, the Pale King finally found a suitable candidate, the Hollow Knight. These Vessels were the Pale King's own children, born in the Abyss so that they'd be powerful enough to keep the Radiance at bay. In an attempt to stop the spread of the Infection, the Pale King found the Radiance, and overcame its power, locking it away in a Vessel. The energy created by this lead to a plague simply known as the Infection, which began to affect Hallownest's people. Being unable to take back her influence with force, the Radiance used the Dream Realm to try and gain back supporters, but the citizens of Hallownest resisted. With the Pale King assimilating most of the other bug species into his kingdom, and being forced to worship him, the Radiance was all but forgotten, even though symbols of her religion remained throughout Hallownest. Ruling from his royal palace, located at the deepest point of Hallownest, the Pale King lead his kingdom to greatness, with his Five Great Knights ensuring that the peace was upheld. In the end, Hallownest become a vast stretch of land, encapsulating most of the bug tribes, and assimilating them into the same society. While some tribes joined him willingly, some were harder to persuade, and their land had to be taken by force. With a society now created, the Pale King officially founded Hallownest, and ruled as its leader, taking a Queen, the White Lady.įor the next few years, the Pale King set about annexing the rest of the connecting tunnels, expecting other species of bugs to join and worship him just as his own subjects did. Though not as powerful as the Radiance, the Pale King harnessed similar light-based powers, and gave a portion of the bugs sentience. Upon dying, the Wrym shed its form and was reborn as the Pale King, who took on the appearance of the bugs that now inhabited the tunnels. At some point, the ancient civilization disappeared, and a Wrym arrived in the kingdom.
