Voices Of Hallownest

Voices of Hallownest

Headcanons about the gods of Hallownest and their voices .

I don't specially think the gods of Hallownest truly have a voice. I think that they use the sound/voices of their followers.

When you hear a god (pk, radiance, wl) you do not hear a singular voice as one would expect but multiple (all of their followers voices whether they are young, old, male, female, or in very rare occasions, dead). If a god's "speech" is strong, booming, present it means that they have a great number of devout in which they can draw multiple voices from ( a god can choose whose voice they are taking ). Ofc this process has an effect on the devout, when the divinity uses their voice often/to much/with to much intensity, their worshipers will most likely have a sour throat or a raspy voice.

For exemple; the Radiance used hers a lot . She basically screamed in armory with her followers and it had repercussions, the moths had very sour throats and raspy or distorted voice ( it showed in Hallonest's prime and in the game event) . When she was forgotten she could barely talk, her speech was only a small pained whisper. But when the infection began her screeches were heard again (through the infected) more violent and angry then ever.

The Pale King does not use his voice very often, he cared a little bit more about his subjects well being than the Radiance (he doesn't really need to talk to be understood, a simple look of the eye or flick of the claw will make someone seize the order/want/intentions) this ensue in the citysen of Hallownest having clear and define voices.

The white lady, her, only uses the voice of trusted friends and ladies in waiting, like her knight Dryya, Marmu and others...

(And these trusted friends get showered with honey treats for their throats). She mostly uses female speech as she prefers how it sounds..

I also think that a gods voice can take some what of a physical form .

Like, golden light would come out of radi's mouth when she talks.

It would look like that

PK's speech would literally float in the air

Exactly like that !

And WL would have flowers come out of her mouth like that one brothers Grimm tale witch I CAN NOT remember the name of... (it was sm like "toads and diamonds")
