Silksong's World Design - The Citadel
Cosmic Lore
51,071 views
Silksong’s world didn’t fall by accident because it was broken by design. In this video, we explore how Pharloom’s history, power structures, and living architecture reveal a world slowly ruined by obsession, control, and divine interference. By analyzing Silksong’s environmental storytelling, ruined civilizations, and unsettling world design, we connect its decay to the themes established in Hollow Knight while uncovering how Silksong pushes them further into tragedy and cosmic horror. This video is made for fans of Hollow Knight, Silksong lore, dark worldbuilding, and those who love dissecting how game worlds tell stories through collapse rather than exposition.

LORE NOTE: I've based this video primarily on environmental storytelling, interpreting the world in a way that creates a compelling narrative, rather than adhering to every strict detail of the established lore.
