Hallownest's Ancient Civilization Examined

Oh, everything falls eventually, this is true both in real life and in the hollow night. Halla Nest was once a vast kingdom complete with a network of roads, ambitious mining operations, and nude baths, but not even the pale king's eternal kingdom could withstand the onslaught of time. Of course, not all kingdoms are destroyed by a moth, but the fate of holiness is not necessarily unique to the world of Hallow Night Mr. The fungus implies that the Pale King's actions were commonplace, with worms creating kingdoms and They ruled them until they fell apart, but in this video we will see a different

civilization

apparently long before the Pale King or the Shining existed, a group of insects that worshiped the darkness, the

civilization

does not have a name in the game, but in its Most people online call it

ancient

civilization.

Other names include the

ancient

caste or the black kingdom, IMHO all of those names suck so I'm just going to call it the Void Kingdom now we don't know if it's a literal Kingdom as far as we know, it could more accurately be called void a anarcho-syndicalist Im implicitly just going to call this ancient civilization the Void Kingdom discussing the void Kingdom is difficult because the game gives us very little information to continue, after all the civilization is said to be ancient so it makes sense that no one in The game, apart from Lemon the Mask Maker, has actually talked about it, but there are still echoes of The Empty Kingdom found in Gibson's artwork, so in this video we'll go over the few bits of dialogue that we have and will discuss how some of the game's art could hint at certain connections that we will also talk about. on the nature of the void for the fifth time on this channel, some of the things I'm going to say in this video are highly speculative, so take everything in this video with a grain of salt and also feel free to check out this document. about emptiness for someone and a toxic brain, it is very well done and super informative.

Let's start with a relic seeker LEM in the God Master update LEM heads straight to the Void Realm in the journal entry for the dormant Void, he says he inspired or angered those ancient insects who did not dedicate their worship to any Lord, power or strength, but to darkness itself. These void idols are described as being from before the hollow nest and are designed to contain the void within them, but why would insects want to worship the darkness? Satan worshipers, do you eat babies? Did you vote for Rick Scott? Well, we have this shadow beast dream nail dialogue.

This chozo statue scam can be dreamed nailed if the nine has the dream nail awake. Young man dreams of the shadow beast without obtaining the void. gives the following power of void without unity, so according to this guy, void contains power, which is a bit strange considering the LEM quote above seems to separate void from power, perhaps power within void as a result of the void being worshiped similarly to how bosses do. of Hollow Knight finds a stronger form if the godseekers tune in, regardless of whether there are examples of void that have utility, which could also factor into why the void realm was so interested in him, but we'll get to that later. .

LEM also talks about the Empty Kingdom when we discuss. arcane eggs, he explains that the arcane eggs are a treasured relic from a time before Hal. Honestly, they proved the existence of this era along with the soul totems found throughout the kingdom. These eggs function similarly to hobo diaries that act as a storehouse of information, while LEM alone can. Accessing the outer layer the ancient insects were somehow able to access the information stored deep and finally LEM mentions that the eggs are rumored to contain a will and that they are searching for a Bearer. LEM speculates that the eggs themselves are drawn into the night from the night.

He was able to find four of them. One last detail about the arcane eggs is that they are described as being made of stone. Let's start with this whole concept of arcane eggs containing wills. He definitely distinguishes them as quite unique, but they are not. In the only example of this phenomenon, when he hints that at night they would go to the old basin, the older insect says the following: did you know that the caverns continued even below the capital? Few have ventured to that depth, so details are scarce. Those who made a later total. of an incredibly ancient structure and paths formed when the rocket of law took possession of a will;

In other words, the architecture of the ancient basin was supposedly formed by the will of the nearby rocks, so why the fuck would the rocks want to build roads or look for owners, my pet? Rock doesn't do shit, maybe it's depressed, well there's an explanation but I don't really want to say it because it boils down to saying that a lot of different things are made of emptiness and this community is already too quick to say it. play the vCard so I'm a little worried about this, we already know that vacuum can take the form of liquid and gas due to the avoided sea and waves of vacuum gas that we see in various places, but vacuum can also take a form solid as Well, a clear example of solid void are the void vines we see connected to Danny's husk in the Queen's Gardens, as well as the soul totems in the deep nest and the strange egg in the birthplace of the abyss.

Another example of solid void is related to the shadow gates found throughout the kingdom. These dark balls look like solid balls of void. These void stones are a bit difficult to see due to being obscured by the surrounding structures. They appear to be modeled after the pale king's crown, implying that he was responsible for placing these shadow gates, most shadow gates can be found sporting these artifacts, but there are a few examples in the abyss that show these stones without the additions of the Pale Kings Finally, the entrance to the Hallow Nest pantheon also features these empty stones and then we have the black egg where the Hollow Knight is imprisoned.

Quirrell describes the egg as being made of stone, but in the endless dream we clearly see that the egg black becomes shadow and void liquid when it leaves the temple, so those are three of the five states void matter can become, does this mean we could see void plasma at some point or Bose-einstein void condensates? Of course, the real question is whether the arcane eggs and the Rose in the ancient basin somehow contain void. Proximity to the void seems to be the main one. factor that differentiates these rocks from rocks found anywhere else in the kingdom, what else could give them this power?

But then again, arcane eggs are not as dark in color as the black egg and I honestly think we should be careful. about what we say is void, it is a slippery slope towards complete and utter anarchy, so for now I think we can only conclude that the void realm somehow uses these will be rocks and stones, how exactly they were created and if the realm empty was directly or not. Who is responsible remains to be seen, but this leads to another interesting question. Can the void contain a will? If the void can turn to stone and stones can contain a will, then why not?

I don't think we can say that the vacuum has a will on its own, but there is a lot of evidence to support the idea that the vacuum can be imprinted with a will. The kink mold seems to have a prime directive to kill and defend that might have been imposed upon them when they were molded by the Pale King. Shadows are described as fragments. of a persistent will, these will appear to have originated with the insects that were originally killed when they were thrown into the abyss, so again the will does not come from the void but is not imprinted on it, just like the night it also contains. a will according to steal soul gin and the description of the charm of the empty heart we also have the collector the collectors avoid being like shadows but shows even greater cognitive abilities according to William in an AMA the collector was even able to draw a map of the locations of the meals show a high level of intelligence, so where will this come from?

A likely candidate seems to be the shell Danny in the Queen's garden, implying that spending time with the collector changed them both in some way, but this is quite speculative. although it is at least clear that the collector has some kind of will, finally let's talk about the tendrils of void stirring in the sea of ​​void. The Void Tendrils are these strange shadow creatures that stir in the night until they receive the Void. Hart, the journal entry for Void Tendrils is obtained in this strange room located on the east side of the chasm, behind a shadow door.

The room contains a desk of sorts along with a strange formation on the wall. When inspecting the formation, you are provided with the journal entry. with the following message, an abyss footprint with given form, we have seen this phrase given form before in the Hall of the Gods, the phrase empty given form is used to describe the statue of the night as it appears in the dream, since It doesn't end, so it's empty. equivalent to an abyss imprint that makes the tendrils of the void similar to night, well I'm not sure what an imprint of this would look like, what is this shit?

I have literally stared at this thing for the last 18 months of my life. life and the only thing I can see is Florida the state that Rick Scott is currently governor of we don't really know why the void tendrils live in the sea a void or what their purpose was but they could be the culprits responsible for convincing the wrong ones in the lighthouse of the abyss to put out the light, which could imply that they have will, so where did these abominations come from? I think it's likely that the void tendrils were created by the void realm, first of all, the shape given implies that the void didn't make it.

It manifests itself in tendrils. Secondly, the journal entry for void tendrils seems to refer to the void realm. The void bugs sometimes wondered if there were other, older, strange realms far below them, and for some reason, the hunters were omnipotent and omnipresent, so this is something. Pretty strong evidence, if he believes that the void realm is relevant to these creatures, then it is probably ultimately so. We need to look at the items found in this room, so this desk is strange, it has four spikes similar to the Pale Kings, but one of the spikes is longer, so I don't think there is a connection here, but rather there is something else going on. this room that we must see in the course of this channel, we have talked about the history of horror voor lore and now we are going to talk about the history of the floor, so remember. how LEM said that the soul totems were another indication of the existence of the Void Realm, while the floor found in this part of the abyss can be found under several soul totems in the game, since it seems we know that the totems were created by the Void Kingdom.

To me it is quite likely that this room was used by this ancient civilization. This room could have been used as some sort of observation deck, workbench, or German sex dungeon, so to quickly summarize, I don't think the void itself exhibits a will, but rather that it is a will. imprinted in the void that manifests itself in creations such as the void builds the vessels and the void tendrils the arcane eggs and the rocks and the chasm and the ancient basin may also contain wills, but it is unclear how this process works or if the void is involved and what exactly a rock with its own will does the same as those of Roadrunner returning to these soul totems, there is another common detail among many of them that hides in the background, these twisted pillars appear throughout the sacred nest behind al least 21 different totems, so where are these things built by the void realm?

They are made of solid vacuum. Well, these pillars appear in a specific area, which is quite interesting. These pillars can be seen inside the black egg. Now the question is whether these pillars become shadows. flying with the rest of the egg in the dream no longer ends and that would imply that they are made of emptiness but then again, does this mean that these chains are empty or these curtains why our Hornet in the Night shell is the only thing left? Where is the hollow night shell? Where are your nails? If the vacuum absorbed everything. Why is Hornet okay?

There better be an explanation of this Cherry team. I know where you live, regardless of what these pillars are. They seem to be a business card. of the void realm, since they can be found near so many soul totems, that doesn't mean I think they made the black egg temple, although the Pale King seems to have been able to create stone objects from the void, we havethe shadow gates and he also had these containers that were used to store voids that seem to use void stones as lids. Anyway, there is another place where these strange twisted pillars can be found, which is the entrance to the room where the ancient nail smith can be found.

We know this. The corpse was called the ancient nail Smith because of the text file containing the dream nail dialogue, of course, the ancient nail Smith is not the only giant corpse we encountered in the holy night. We also have the shadow beast in the abyss, as well as the green beast in the Queen's garden, whose names come from her sprite art files, there are the worm corpses at the edge of the kingdom and finally we have the temple of the black egg which, according to Hall Night's upcoming art book, was built from the shell of an ancient colossal insect, the shadow.

The beast is obviously bound to the void, possibly some kind of void worshiper, but it seems possible that these other giant beings, the worm form of the pale kings that are part of the void realm, giant beasts similar to the design of the totems of the void. soul could also have existed. around that time, but it's also possible that some of these creatures lived before or after, there is literally no dialogue related to the green beast, so know something about it and the information about the other beasts is not much better, although there seems to be influences of the. empty kingdom everywhere how honest the ancient basin and the abyss seemed to be the most important parts of their society the most interesting aspect of the ancient basin is that geographically it is called ancient basin the basin is a depression in the ground where water accumulates looking to the abyss the entrance is remarkably similar in structure to that of a well it is a long vertical hole that stores liquid at the bottom this raises about a hundred questions whether the abyss was built as a way to store the void or the Void Realm was simply found the abyss and settled nearby, someone had to create this architecture if the void was draining into the abyss, where did it come from? or there is simply an infinite amount of emptiness coming out of the form.

Beasts Bowl somehow there is also the question of whether or not the Snail Shamans are connected to this Void Realm. Unfortunately, that's really hard to answer. Snail Shamans are definitely some kind of Void creation. The Snail Shaman calls the Knight a small shadow, implying that he knows who the Knight is. And the shamans in the Soul Sanctum and the Crystal Mound literally exploded to nullify balls that the Knight could absorb. However, the Snail Shaman is surprised by the Cry of the Abyss, implying that the Shamans have never been to the place of their origin. I don't think the snail shaman is wrong in this case.

I think a character like the snail shaman would know what he's talking about, but that's just speculation on my part which leaves the question of where the snail shamans came from, which I don't know. I don't really have an answer because they have a very strange nature to them. The snail shaman in the ancestral mound implies that he is obliged to remain in the mound. We don't know if this union is physical or what, but it somehow implies that the shamans have been in sanctity for quite some time as for the altar in the abyss where the scream is located, I believe it was built by the Void Realm the faces are Similar in design to soul vessels that store souls similar to soul totems Void Kingdom clearly knew how to capture soul, so they seemed like likely candidates to create the soul vessels found in the game.

There's even a soul vessel fragment located in a deep Arien nest that features those twisted black pillars. A minor point that we don't know if. Something resembling the Shadow Lord existed in the Void Realm, it seems as if the Shadow Lord emerged from the worship of the God Seekers, so I guess it's possible that the Void Realm was capable of creating a similar being, but there's no way to know. The God Seekers were special masks that allowed them to focus their thoughts giving them a divine focus, indicating that the creation of the Shadow Lord was a more unique event and if something like the Shadow Lord existed in the past, it probably already existed. would have killed the glow. which brings us to the fall of the Void Kingdom, the Mask Maker briefly mentions the fate of the Void Kingdom after obtaining the King's Mark, the Mask Maker denounces the Pale King's attempt to unite the Void under his leadership, saying that no insect has claimed this.

Although even the Beast knew his limit and limited his kingdom and the edge of his nests, it is the ancient caste that attempted such vast rule. How ruin by disease reflects well on those successful attempts, so the kingdom seems to have fallen apart due to its attempts to expand its rule. Throughout Hollow Nest, the glow appears to call upon the void to be her former enemy, implying that she fought against the realm of the void long ago, possibly even bringing the realm to an end. The dream that affects the structures in the room where you get the fish screech reveals that whoever used to live there is planning to make a return, which should be expected as a wise Star Wars trailer once said that no one is gone now. .

If you've been following the speculations about Silk Song, you probably know the masters, these mysterious beings mentioned by both. Confessor Gigi and the Wake Soul Genies appear to be bound to the Void in some way, indicating that they could also be connected to the Void Realm, possibly as remnants from before civilization fell, if this is true then that means that silk song could shed light on what exactly the void realm was seeing in the latest hollow night update, the god master decided to give us more information about these void worshipers. I think they are likely to become important in Silk Song too, okay let's go over everything one last time and remember that there is a lot of speculation here, don't say all this at a dinner party expecting everyone to agree with you, you could do the ridiculous.

There was an ancient caste that existed in the void lands. These insects chose to worship the darkness. They placed a void inside the idols to worship them and printed voids with shapes that did something. They also knew how to manipulate the soul, capable of placing it inside different types of vessels. They also used rocks with wills to store information and build paths. Through the paths, this kingdom attempted to expand across the modern void, but their plans proved futile, possibly due to a moth, and their empire fell into darkness; However, there may still be some who have planted servants to carry out their plans and there you have it.

Of course, a lot of this depends on Team Cherry's artwork being 100% deliberate, which could very easily not be the case. You would think that the Pale King built the royal canals, so why exactly can soul totems be found there? Why is this wall completely replaced with The corpses are these load-bearing corpses, where the fuck did the curtains go? But hopefully we were able to dig up a little more information about the ancient civilization and the void. If not, then the main point of my video is still pretty strong, please. vote for rick scott this november
