    Summary

    We have a story to tell.
    It is a story of five gods and four hearts; of their lands, champions, and children. Of their wishes, for survival or control; of the burdens they placed upon others. Of their regret and hatred, but of their hope and love in equal measure.
    Of the Vessels they crafted to hold these things.
    This is our story, as the daughters of Hallownest and Pharloom. We tell it for those who have found their peace.
    We tell it in memory of the third child.
    It is our duty,
    As Sisters of the Void.

    Excerpt from Memoir of the Daughters

    The Pale King casts off his shell in the land of the Old Hearts, far away from the Light that would become his enemy and the Pale Root that would become his wife and queen. That Hallownest is not the kingdom he claims.
    Grand Mother Silk spreads her web in that distant land instead. And in that land of four gods, only one beacon may shine against the dark.

    The Kingdom Swap AU. Where most things still happen (including Hornet, a Hollow Knight, and Act 3).

    Summary

    The Pale King wakes in his Palace with a broken head and broken mind, without any memory of the most recent events. Perhaps some things are best left alone, but it's in his nature to seek out knowledge, even if it brings only pain.

    Summary

    At least four hollow knight players (and lore discussers) suddenly find themselves stuck in the game! With several crazy mods in use, twitch chat being very annoying, and having to run through the entirety of Hallownest to escape, they have a very interesting couple of weeks!
