  my headcanon is that this entire map fits inside the crack on the sidewalk outside my house and the wastes are the concrete inbetween

  My theory on Ze&apos;mer&apos;s homeland was that it was basically the Hollow Knight equivalent to Valinor from Lord of the Rings. A far away, unreachable (for most) place of endless bounty, peace, and happiness, alien in its nature from the rest of the world. This is why Ze&apos;mer&apos;s accent is so unique and why a flower from her land is powerful enough to combat the void.<br><br>It also implies that Ze&apos;mer is the Hollow Knight equivalent of an elf, which I just think is a fun concept<br><br>(Edit: it would also track with how the White Lady refers to the everbloom as &quot;the first light&quot;, since in the creation story of the lotr world Valinor was the first place to be created)<br><br>(Edit 2: it would also make sense for Ze&apos;mer to not be like other bugs, considering how she turns into a mask shard when your complete her quest. Masks are pretty important to this world, after all.)<br><br>(Edit 3: I got my Tolkien lore wrong, the elves were not native inhabitants of Valinor and neither was Valinor the first place to be created. That&apos;s my bad, it&apos;s been a good long while since I topped up on my middle earth knowledge. My point still stands though, as I used Valinor moreso as a vibe to describe what I thought the Lands Serene (working title) are like, not literally saying the two were 1 to 1.)

  Here&apos;s a dumb theory: What if the wind blows towards hallownest because of the land of storms. The storms point to where the strongest gods are and the godseekers follow the storm. That&apos;s why the wind had a fixation with hallownest.

  Now that I&apos;ve seen the background insects of the Land of Storms, they just kind of look like real life bugs which is very interesting.

  At <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ag3dOpVbe-s&amp;t=265">4:25</a> i feel like it makes more sense to think that hornet is talking about the simiolarities with THE infection and lifeblood than with another lifeblood infection in hallownest.
