Within the vast, hollow throne room, shadows cling to the Pale King, the Wyrm sovereign of Hallownest. He is bound to the White Lady and to Herrah, Queen of Deepnest. His ancient, singular purpose: the imprisonment of the Radiance. He fathered legions of vessels upon the White Lady, casting every one that showed a flicker of emotion back into the Abyss. He ordained the Dreamers and sealed a pact with Herrah that yielded a daughter, Hornet. That is the weight of his history.
