The pale king rebirthed and became king. He had a ton of children and almost all of them went into the abyss, all except 2. One became the hollow knight, the hollow knight accidentally made a bond with his father, witch the pale king knew, the pale king made a deal with the dreamers to seal the black egg the hollow knight was in to hold the infection the radiance made because when it came to hollownest and wanted everybody to worship it. They said no and kept following the king, so the radiance made the infection. Well the weaver asked of one thing to seal the deal. She wanted the pale king to help her make a child, it happened and I bet the king was traumatized. Well this is how Hornet is made. Well then after the seal was made and the knight was locked away, the king rebirthed, losing his memory, witch is a good thing since he had to do the weaver queen thing. Well so he became a vessel, the other one of the two I was talking about earlier, well he was put in daycare. If you go to the White Palace in one of the kingmold’s minds, you can find that daycare and the music playing on a sound system is the music you hear when your close to your shade. It shows your still just a child and can remember that. Well you leave the kingdom to prevent harm to your self at 1 year old. You come back at 2 being drawn to the kingdom and the entire hollow knight game happens and at 3 you kill the radiance. That is the entire lore of hollow knight in one comment.
