The Radiance

Character from Hollow Knight by Team Cherry

An ancient moth goddess — forgotten by her own people, sealed inside a hollow shell, and now burning Hallownest from the inside with the light of a memory that refuses to die.

Also known as: Absolute Radiance, The Light, The Old Light, The Plague

What They Know

• Ancient higher being who predates Hallownest — created the Moth Tribe and was worshipped as their goddess
• The Infection is her suppressed memory forcing its way back through dreams — every infected bug is a vessel for her light
• Sealed inside the Hollow Knight by the Pale King — the Black Egg and three Dreamers maintain the prison
• Can only be permanently destroyed by Void — the primordial darkness that is her cosmic opposite
• Exists primarily in the Dream Realm — her physical manifestation was lost when the moths forgot her
• The Moth Tribe's Seer is the last of her original worshippers, and even she has made peace with the Radiance's end
