Silksong: All Areas & Locations
Welcome to your guide to the Areas and Locations of Pharloom, the vast and haunted kingdom of Hollow Knight: Silksong. This page serves as a central hub for every known biome, town, and significant landmark you will discover on Hornet’s pilgrimage.
A Vertical Kingdom of Ascent
Section titled “A Vertical Kingdom of Ascent”The world of Pharloom presents a structural and thematic inversion of Hallownest. Whereas The Knight’s journey was a descent into darkness, Hornet’s is a perilous ascent towards a shining Citadel at the world’s peak. This verticality is a core element of the world’s design.
Unlike the largely desolate Hallownest with its single hub town of Dirtmouth, Pharloom is a more vibrant and populated kingdom, featuring multiple towns and settlements that serve as hubs for quests and commerce.
