Hollow knight silksong lore12/7/2023 ![]() Well, Jinn's "masters" are likely going to be more important to Silksong, considering we've seen enemy constructs similar to her in the trailer. Are these constructs attempts at creating something similar to the Knight? Do they have void in them, or are their masters affiliated with void somehow? There's at least some connection to void here, even if it's just her masters being affiliated with it. ![]() There's an obvious attempt at connecting Jinn to void here honestly, seeing how the void heart is what triggers this realization in Jinn. She goes back on her statement about the Knight being built inferior, before realizing that the Knight is different to Jinn in that he's "more complete." ".different like masters." ![]() Has not seen many, so vulnerable, but triumphant. But easily her most interesting piece of dialogue is when you come to her with the void heart. Jinn has masters? And supposedly they seek out disorder… Other than that, despite “too young” to know anything, she's aware of the king and the king's brand, and knows not to follow it? It's strange. Keyword "built." Though, you could chalk that up to being Jinn's strange English, but if you come back to him with the King's Brand, he says this: So, when you meet Jinn, he speaks a lot about trading, but occasionally he'll comment on the Knight himself, referring to him as "soft" and small. Let's talk about Jinn and the void constructs for a bit. ![]() Of course, there's more to this theory than just that. While on the topic, it's also worth noting the White Lady states it has a rare power, giving more evidence that its importance hasn't been fulfilled. Seeing how they went out of their way to bring attention to that flower in the ending that foreshadows Silksong, and how Silksong isn't taking place in Hollownest, I think it makes sense we'll get to see it's connection to void at some point on Hornet's journey through the new kingdom. The Delicate Flower is what especially draws my attention here, as the White Lady states it's not from Hollownest. This only becomes more interesting when you give the delicate flower to the Godseeker, where the ending cutscene seems to hint at that flower's importance, having some sort of protection against void. How powerful is the Shade Lord if it's "the god of gods", the very thing the godseekers have been seeking? This also brings up the question what IS void? We see it trying to break free from the Godseeker somehow, even leaking void from her eyes like we've seen on many bugs across the game. There's talk of a lost civilization throughout the game, one that "didn't worship a god, but the darkness itself." Was that referring to the Shade Lord, or not? We see the Godseeker finally meeting the Lord of Shades, or the "God of Gods", or "Void Given Focus." It's obviously an important being, but why? This character is honestly one of the most secretive things in the game. Part of the reason I think this is, well, the ending for Hollow Knight. So, obvious reasons are probably the fact that Hollow Knight has a lot of mysteries that have yet to be solved, but in my opinion, everything having to do with void has the MOST buildup of anything so far, and I think there's a chance that's all going to carry over into Silksong somehow. (At least from what I know!) But I think the game will likely delve more into the lore of void. So, we don't know too much about what lore Silksong will have of course, where the end game will end up going, what directions it might take. But I still have thoughts I'd love to share anyway! Just some thoughts I wanted to put here! Worth noting though, I’ve been avoiding any and all Silksong content aside from the first trailer so I can go into it as blind as I did Hollow Knight. r/demonssouls /r/darksouls /r/darksouls2 /r/darksouls3 /r/bloodborne /r/saltandsanctuary /r/castlevania /r/metroid Ultra-high-resolution Interactive Hallownest Map at with downloads and making-of videos.These sites have cool Hollow Knight content!
