This is one of my favorite areas and music. There is a sense of Ascension and of unveiling secrets, but still you feel something is wrong. Quiet and intense, safe and unsafe. We don't even have a real connection with Tiso, the shield-shuriken wielder, but when we find he has lost his bracket...this theme is also for his departure. (sorry for my english)
The fools are really no different from the infected. When we think about characters like Tiso or Zote, their overconfidence drives them to compete and prove themselves. It's almost like they can't help it. What's so foreboding and sad about this song and the bodies that fall by, is that it feels like it could have been otherwise, but not really. It was an inevitable fate for these fools. Maybe that's what makes them foolish--it's a character trait that they cannot get beyond.
The head is the coliseum, the back where we find the brand. Pretty long. we don't even know how much it's coiled. There is that big white Npc who tells us he's not big if we think at the ancestral worm.
@@nottestellata5201 I always thought the dead guy sitting on the throne was a wyrm, just not one who was very significant to the lore. He turned his old wyrm corpse into the Colosseum
@@archdruidbookwalter951 it can be. We heard about a "blackwyrm" who fought the knights. so there are multiples. But it could be also one big wyrm body, because the caterpillar NpC said that the ashes are all from the corpse of the king, and they start falling under the colosseum .
@@nottestellata5201 I actually thought that the blackwyrm was the shade lord, as I believe it existed before godmaster, and once ruled hallownest before the radiance. The Battle of the Blackwyrm was the shade lord attempting to take back their throne from the Pale King.
Archdruid Bookwalter but isn't the Knight the Void Given Focus? He becomes it doesn't he or does his shade become one with it? You know how when you go too far from your shade it curls up and goes back to its spawn point or siblings that curl up when they are hit? It could be like the Knight though since he has the Voidheart. (I know the Knight doesn't have a gender)
*Hitchhiker's guide to Hallownest, Page 12* The desert surrounding Hallownest on the surface is a barren, inhospitable wasteland, and it would appear that the inhospitality does not end once you go underground. Kingdom's Edge is the name given to the far eastern side of the caverns that Hallownest resides within, and it can be found directly beyond the wall forming the eastern border of the City of Tears. The place is marked by the constant fall of white ash, all billowing out from the crumbling corpse of a giant creature, as well as by metal poles topped with the symbol of Hallownest, ones identical to the poles dotted around the Howling Cliffs, which show the furthest reaches of the Kingdom. White ferns similar to the ones found elsewhere in Hallownest can be found here, as well as strange glowing white roots that grow out of the giant corpse. The section of the City of Tears' cavern that is on the Kingdom's Edge side of the wall has an acidic river flowing at it's bottom, and is also the habitat of the large Booflys, whose stubbornness to not be wiped out by their predators due to their own slowness is simply baffling. They are joined in the air by their main predators, the smaller, yet far more formidable, Primal Aspids. While they are small when compared to the Booflys, they are actually the size of one's head and are not to be underestimated. They can shoot acidic infection from a large orange sack, and like to hunt in small swarms between 2-10 in numbers, rarely hunting alone. They are, in turn, hunted by the Hoppers, who leap into the air and slam the aspids into the ground, crushing them in quite a brutal fashion. Even their young get in on the action, with limited success. Unlike the aspids, however, they are solitary hunters and rarely hunt with others. There are also belflys here, clinging the the ceilings of caves and caverns as they do almost everywhere in Hallownest, waiting to dive bomb anyone or anything who absentmindedly wanders beneath them. Despite the untameable nature of this place, it has a few unexpected pockets of hospitality, mostly in the form of the homes of somewhat-friendly, uninfected locals, like Nailmaster Oro, Bardoon, and, to an extent, the Colosseum of Fools. Nailmaster Oro is a grumpy nailmaster who lives in a fairly spacious hut within the farthest reaches of the Kingdom's Edge, while Bardoon is a wise caterpillar who has nestled himself in the ceiling of one of the larger chasms in Kingdom's Edge, who is very knowledgeable of the giant corpse that is the origins of all the ash. He explains that it was the form that the king of Hallownest was in when he first arrived at what was soon to be Hallownest, before dying and being reincarnated into the form he would use for the entirety of his reign and his eventual downfall. I once again am skeptical of these stories of wyrms and higher beings, though Bardoon speaks of this with such certainty that it is as if he witnessed the wyrm arrive himself, which does make me wonder that if the corpse is not a god, then what else is there for it to be? The Colosseum of Fools is... well... a colosseum. It was seemingly constructed out of the corpse of a giant beetle, and can serve as a fairly safe place for one to rest, though I personally don't like loud crowds and find the fights that take place there to be crude and ghastly. Sitting on a throne in the colosseum is a large corpse that the inhabitants call, "The Lord Fool" and refer to him as the guy who runs the colosseum... even though he's clearly dead, and looks to have been so for a long time. But then again, I'd rather not disrespect them and be forced to fight in their trials, so I shouldn't bring this up.

The fact that ash is still falling despite how long ago the one Wyrm died, it makes me wonder, just how big is it

In fact, it somewhat reminds me of some parts of Portal 2's OST.
it reminds me a lot of the Hobbit's soundtrack, which was(regardless of your opinion on the movie) amazing
It reminds me of Diablo II act 5 when you are near town.
'Another one bites the dust'
why does this sum up the whole of the Kingdom's Edge in 5 words-
How can a game be so "cute" and dark at the same time?
The fallen warrior from Arena in the backgorund...
