History
Powerful and enigmatic, the Pale King, Lord of the Nest of Bones, uses the pure darkness of the Abyss to create ships in collaboration with his queen, the White Lady. They were born from the void, encased in shells and given a mask that defined the soul. The purpose of their creation was to create a perfect being that could resist the plague that could destroy Hallownest. The plague known as "Infection" comes from an entity known as "Radiance". He infected the insects' minds, essentially turning them into aggressive shells.
Of the many ships built, the Knight was one of the few that survived, though it was deemed unfit and discarded, thrown into the abyss. The knight's survivability and resilience is impressive and overwhelming. Against all odds, the knight makes the arduous journey from the abyss to the fading world above. Their journey, strength and courage play an important role in the fight against the developing plague and are a testament to their inherent qualities of strength, determination and hope.
But all of Vaz's achievements come with a tragic realization; they exist for one purpose only: to contain the infection and protect the remnants of the once great kingdom of Hallownest. Although ships are vast in their power and purpose, they are not exempt from the harsh realities of their existence: their fate is ultimately bleak and irreversible. But despite the darkness that surrounds their origins and existence, the knights, especially our knight, represent an unrelenting fight against decay, an eternal hope in the dark, and the last guardians of the echoes of history.
In the Hollow Knight Chronicles universe, the knight and his faction paint a grim tale of sacrifice and determination. Through their battle, the deeper truths of Hallownest's history are revealed and a deeper story unfolds beyond the crazy cover-ups, but also the courage and resilience that defines true heroes. The history of the ships, especially the knight, is the history of the Holy Nest.

Geography
The many enchanted realms beneath Dirtmouth are as dangerous as they are alluring, and each individual realm requires unique skills and resilience to traverse. The cold austerity of Forgotten Crossroads, the bright glow of the dark tunnels of Mist Canyon or Deepnest, the secrets, challenges and inhabitants of the houses are as diverse as their landscapes.
During his journey, the Knight discovers a complex ecosystem, ancient history, and the hidden culture of a fallen kingdom seeking to be reborn through sacrifice and ruins. The geometrically complex interconnected network is depicted as a giant organism, echoing the game's themes of decay, memory and rebirth.
In this labyrinthine underground world, every inch is designed to captivate your senses and present you with challenges that will test your mettle. Hallowest himself always acts as a stoic character, brought to life by an intricate design that speaks of grandeur, doom, and the hope of rebirth. More than just exploration, The Knight's geography is a compelling story in its own right.
