Void

Item from Hollow Knight by Team Cherry

The primordial darkness beneath everything — the substance of the Abyss, the stuff Vessels are made of, and the only force that can extinguish the Radiance's light.

Also known as: The Void, Shade, The Abyss Substance

What They Know

• Primordial substance predating all gods and civilizations — exists in liquid form in the Abyss
• The fundamental opposite of Light/the Radiance — the only force capable of permanently ending her
• The Pale King used Void to create Vessels, Kingsmoulds, and other constructs
• The Void Heart unifies all Void under one will — transforming the Knight into the Lord of Shades
• A previous civilization may have worshipped Void before Hallownest existed — ancient shrines to darkness predate the Pale King
• The Shade that appears when the Knight dies IS the Knight's Void — temporarily escaped from its shell
