The only thing he did wrong was letting his unconscious paternal desires 'ruin' the purity of the hollow knight by seeding love in its heart.
The moths on the other hand did everything wrong, intentionally.
Everyone was getting along fine and having fun erecting civilization, then these dusty clumps of light-mad spite pull a Frieza+Namek on Hallownest's collective unconscious.

Killing millions of his own kids was pretty wrong, but it was either that or doom his entire kingdom because of an insane moth god, so.

Can you anons elaborate I think I missed this piece of lore. I know he was a wyrm that shed off his shell and became the white king, then started trying to make hollow knights to contain the radiance to save his kingdom. I don't remember reading about any of the bad stuff he did.

>>719379449
He absolutely will come back for a kino father daughter fight in Silksong

He could have allowed radiance to be worshipped alongside him. He did it with Unn. But radiance (and lifeblood for some reason) was too much for our god emperor of bugkind
>>
>>719387967
Did you not see the abyss being composed almost entirely of the broken shells of vessel candidates and the lore tablet telling you they were the 'refuse and regret' of the hollow knights creation? Take that and the fact that the pale lady and kingsoul charm implies the player character is the spawn of the pale king and white lady and it becomes fairly obvious that he commited mass scale infanticide.
>>
>>719388484
I thought radiance was a mind control freak from the start which is why he wanted to contain her.
>>719388487
I did but assumed all the vessels down there just failed the climb and he did not kill them for being "unworthy" which is still bad but it felt like a necessary (althought terrible) sacrifice. But I am probably wrong on that seeing how I missed that radiance might have been chill before pale king fucked with her
>>
>>719388760
She was nice once. The seer remembers and mourns
>>
>>719388760
The whole necessary sacrifice thing is why you can either frame him as 'did nothing wrong' or 'hitler but for his own infant children'
>>

I see anons thank you

Isn't hornet the current queen of hollownest? surely the white lady won't try to take the throne anymore
>>
>>719383619
Hornet cute
>>
So, how are all the vessels stuck in abyss with lost kin being the only one who kinda escape but not really. When you are just arriving from way outside of hallownest with no memory of anything
>>
>>719387901
He kinda didn't. He had no way of knowing hollow knight isnt actually hollow so radiance will find a way out.
>>
>>719379449
*Did nothing

>radiance is leaking out
>but the white palace is long gone and hallownest is without its defenders
>and even then the dreamers are cockblocking her
The pale king won, by the time radiance breaks free she's getting to rule over a shitty empty town. HK is a humiliation ritual.
>>
>>719381283
>royal palace is 70% sawblades
what was up with that?
>>
>>719389354
there are more vessels around
you can see some of them in the deepnest arena for instance
>>
>>719389258
In the god master endings I suppose the Hollow Knight would be the legitimate ruler, only vessels are capable of obtaining the kings brand and kings soul charm and they're the legitimate children of the ruling couple. I guess hornets claim may be stronger if the deal with the dreamers happened before the vessel project but even then she's technically the product of an affair.

The fate of all things is to be forgotten.
No one gets to be immortal.
>>
>>719391754
Wrong. Radiance is immortal had a petty god-melty after being TRAPPED and BETRAYED by its people.
>>
>>719390825
The game makes it pretty clear he is still around, but likely not in the same place/form. I mean he already died before becoming the king too.
>>
>>719388018
>ok so trapping god once didn't work lets try again but differently
I can see it.

Would be super sneaky of Team Cherry. Would not put it past them.
>>
>>719388018
Honestly him being in the dream realm and imposing his will on a new kingdom to make it his own would be plausible.
It would just make him Radiance 2 though, which would be a little predictable.

Pale King might make an appearance but he's no endgame boss material. Pic related is
>>
>>719393947
The game makes it very clear he is NOT around, it's just that one of the things established about Pale King is that he metamorphosed from a bigass Wyrm. Also, the whole HIGHER BEINGS thing remains very obscure, for all we know anything short of void tentacle rape does not even count as death.
