So the only things the reincarnation theory might be useful to explain are how the Knight escaped the Abyss and why the Pale King would just hide passively, which seems like a weirdly feeble course of action for such a wise being to take. There's tendrils leading into the entrance of the palace, and it looks to me like it then entered via the kingsmolds in the throne room - the throne room is very dark, has void particles, void smoke, and the guards in the throne room have void leaking from them. The Pale King's palace, even after being moved to a remote location, was seemingly infiltrated and attacked by Void. no cost too great could easily refer to all the vessel-children, as well as other measures he was taking. due to parentage the Knight's part Wyrm. Wouldn't the Pale King, even reincarnated, be immune to the mind-draining of the wastes? And wouldn't you see some dialogue reflecting something about the knight having a pale light in him if he was the King's reincarnation, instead of having two voids inside? Also, Hornet says that the time in the wastes created an additional 'void' in the Knight, other than the actual Void. So the Knight doesn't have to be a reincarnated Pale King to do so well. There is no other explanation why you find him dead The Knight's stronger than the other vessels because of the time it spent out of Hallownest, according to Hornet. There is no other explanation why you find him dead He was dead cause the void might have reached him, watch mossbag's video in which he talks about Matpat's theory and why its wrong, the knight can sit on the pale king's throne, but that can either be random or cause he is one of his "children"/ basically the pale king sacrificed his life force and conciousness destroy the the Radiance I think the pale king transferred all his conciousness and soul into the void so that it could give birth to the Knight that will finally become the vessel that will seal the Radiance once and for all. What does the pale king mean when his final thoughts are "no cost is too great"?

Why do some characters refer to the knight as "wyrm" even though that's a title only reserved for the pale king? Why does the Knight sit on the Pale King's throne after smashing his corpse? How is the Knight able to defeat friggin gods with nothing but a nail and a bunch of charms? Originally posted by Jolly Jew:this theory may be half-baked but it makes sense
