We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.
This is a fiction/fan codex: entries describe an in-universe canon. Our audits check canon and internal consistency — external fact-checking does not apply the way it does on real-subject codexes.

Pale King — The Pale King did not 'originally come from outside Hallownest as a wanderer before founding the kingdom'—canon states he was a Wyrm who shed his shell in the wastelands and emerged as the Pale King, not a wanderer.
Pale King — The claim that 'his rule was maintained by suppressing the influence of light, which he believed empowered the infection' is inaccurate—the Pale King suppressed the Radiance, a specific higher being of light, not light in general.
Hollow Knight — The entry states the Hollow Knight was chosen by the Pale King from among the many Vessels in the Abyss, while the others were left behind and the Abyss was sealed. This is inaccurate: the Pale King chose the Hollow Knight from the Vessels that had already cli
Mantis Clan — The Mantis Lords are three sisters in the base game, not two; the third sister is present in the base game fight but is not fought separately until the Godmaster DLC's 'Sisters of Battle' encounter.
Mantis Clan — The Mantis Warriors are not corrupted by the Infection; they remain uninfected and hostile only to those who have not proven themselves, and they are not mindless husks.
Nightmare — Nightmare Fuel is harvested by defeating these Grimmkin in that dream state, not through standard combat in the physical world.
The Mantis Lords — The location is listed as 'Mantis Village, Greenpath', but Mantis Village is located in the Fungal Wastes, not Greenpath.
The Hollow Knight — The entry states the Hollow Knight was 'raised by the Royal Retainers in the White Palace', but canon indicates it was raised by the Pale King and the Royal Retainers, not solely by the Retainers.
The Hollow Knight — The entry says the Hollow Knight 'wielded a nail of void as its only weapon'. In canon, the Hollow Knight is depicted wielding a pure nail, not specifically a 'nail of void'.
Shade Cloak — The entry states the Shade Cloak is obtained by 'giving the Shade Cloak item to the Knight at its location in the Abyss, after defeating the Dreamers and acquiring the Monarch Wings.' In canon, the Shade Cloak is obtained by interacting with the Shade Cloak it
Shade Cloak — The entry claims the recharge delay is 'about 1.5 seconds.' In canon, the Shade Cloak's recharge time is approximately 2 seconds, not 1.5 seconds.
Death of the Pale King — The Pale King's remains are located in the 'Workshop' area within the White Palace dream, not in the general 'Palace Grounds'.
Death of the Pale King — The Hollow Knight was always the intended final Vessel to seal the Radiance; other Vessels were discarded or escaped.
