A sad fall for the most intelligent species.' Our brood is lost to that pestilence of the mind. ↑ 1.0 1.1 Midwife: 'I'm a servant to the nest, though few in recent times would seek my service.

Alternatively, at the bottom of the Queen's Gardens, a downward passage can be found next to the Bench room ending in the northwest of Deepnest. It reveals itself once the Knight has passed it and tries to come back. To the east of the Moss Chapel, there is an entrance leading to the northeast of Deepnest located on the ground. The eastern part of Deepnest can be accessed by either beating the Mantis Lords in the Mantis Village or reaching the bottom of the Fungal Core nearby. There are initially four ways of entering Deepnest, three from the Fungal Wastes and one from the Queen's Gardens. Deepnest was eventually overcome by the Infection, its brood Infected and the Weavers fleeing to their former home. When the child, Hornet, was born, Herrah went to sleep a short time later, leaving Deepnest without a formal ruler. In return, she would become a Dreamer to save Hallownest from the Infection. Since she was only of common descent, she struck a deal with the Pale King to have a child with him. ĭeepnest's sire died at a certain point, leaving Herrah as the sole ruler of Deepnest. A Tramway could not be established in Deepnest due to the beasts attacking the workers. His efforts of expansion were met with furious resistance. When the Pale King started establishing his kingdom, Distant Village and the creatures of Deepnest completely refused his rule. Deepnest was often in conflict with the Mantis Tribe and Mushroom Clan of the Fungal Wastes. They ruled from Distant Village where Herrah's Den was located. Both groups lived under the rule of their queen, Herrah the Beast, and an unknown sire, who was of honoured caste. A Hot Spring and a Tram leading to Ancient Basin and Kingdom's Edge are located in the southeast part.ĭeepnest was occupied by two intelligent arachnid groups, the Spider Tribe, which used to be one of the most intelligent species in the land of Hallownest, and the Weavers, an outsider tribe that established their own history and culture in Deepnest. Deepnest's eastern parts are essentially composed of dark passages and complex networks of tunnels dug by its inhabitants. The only structures that do not fall in this category are the suspended web houses found in Distant Village and their interiors. Some structures found in this area bear large outsider influence coming from the Weavers and the kingdom of Hallownest, these being the Weavers' Den, Weaver statues, the Failed Tramway, and the Stag Station. The more developed parts of Deepnest are located in its western portion. Most parts of Deepnest are dark or pitch black and can be illuminated with the Lumafly Lantern.ĭeepnest generally finds itself in a very primal stage of development, lacking the general level of architecture seen in the rest of Hallownest. Thick layers of web covering sometimes large portions of the background and twisted maze-like tunnels and passages, several having the dim glow of a bioluminescent fungus as the only source of light. What most identifies Deepnest is its gloomy surroundings.
