Lore

Discussions about the Entity's realm

After reading Billy's New Lore...
I feel super bad for him, even more than before. Reading the brutal descriptions of his retribution was satisfying... I also didn't know he could speak.
dead rising fan made dlc
there will be two survivors since there not really much killers idea in dead rising. new survivor is called Frank west bio: When Frank west found out this place and what going on he was going to check and spread the facts of what going on and who started it. When He saw this doctor he started asking him who was the start…
friday the 13th possible dlc
if this Dlc come into dead by daylight then here is my idea of Friday the 13th idea new killer is called Jason bio: When he was a child he was in camp crystal lake while his mother works in the kitchen for the camp counselors. Then these other children put a sack on him then made him drop in the ocean/pond and they let…
Between trials
Do the survivors get to rest? Eat? Heal up? Maybe take a shower so they don't stink? Do they get to sleep? Or is it just some sort of never ending hell dimension where all you do is survive and then move onto the next trial without getting a break or a meal? What do the killers do between trials. There's that one perk that…
Are some of the archive's from another time/Universe?
The hag/ Lisa Sherwoods lore says she grew up in a village away from civilisation. But then why did Lisa go to school in her archive? Is it a different universe where she grew up with a civilisation? I don't get it so just tell me if you know.
When does Talbot Grimes transform into The Blight?
From tome 1's The Hunger cinematic, we see Talbot Grimes inject himself in the middle of the woods, presumably turning into The Blight. But in the chapter 17 teaser trailer we see Talbot inject himself in front of Father Campbell's chapel, presumably turning into The Blight there. But then in the official chapter 17…
The Weird Entity Language
Have there been any developments on it? Y'know, the descriptions on the first 4 Killers' weapons.

Noticed something neat about Oni’s Mori
So I was watching a video on Jigoku, kind of like Japanese Buddhist Hell. Anyway, in one of the hells (different crimes have different hells), liars have their tounge ripped out of their mouth, which then regenerates. Sound familiar? Oni killed liars (false samurai) and ripped out their tongue. Lovely attention to detail
More Lore
I feel like the Archives are a really cool feature, but I wish there was more ways to get lore than their backstory and the Archives, maybe the daily rituals could unlock more lore to do them not just for bloodpoints

The Black Robed Men
In The Twins lore, it mentions that Black Robed men take them, and attempt to sacrifice them or something? Honestly, the lore wasn't clear what they were trying to do, nor was it clear about who these men are. The description sounds an awful lot like the Cult that took in The Blight. I believe that this group is one of the…
Ingame Character Dialogue
I had a thought today about how badass it would be to hear ingame character dialogue, like genuine voice acting. I feel like this would make the game's lore way more attractive from the outside. The lore in DbD is hella hard to get into unless you like, watch videos or search it out yourself. Plus hearing Ashley Williams…
Why don't survivors just use hatchets?
They're literally right there and there's 4 of you guys like come on.
should the survivors be able to fight back
fighting against a killer like Ghostface or legion they're just humans with no power 4 four people like Ash and bill and David King and Steve Harrington all four of them against one killer even with a knife they could overpower them and also pig
A Binding of Kin Character Lore
As I did with Descend Beyond and Felix and Blight, I transcribed Elodie and the Twins' lore for those who can't access the PTB. Elodie Rakoto Born into a lush Parisian household, Élodie Rakoto grew up in a comfortable home miles away from the verdant island of Madagascar, her parents’ birthplace. Her backpack was always…
How would you incorporate Chucky into the game?
So, I'm on a little 'forced' break from DbD until they fix the PS4 framerate issue, and seeing as I'm bored I'm curious. So, I need to say that I don't think Chucky can be bought into the game. Not because of his license or anything, but purely because of his size. So much of the game hinges on the killers being bigger…
Are legendary skins considered "characters"?
For what we know, any legendary skin should be a "new" character, right? If so, were they also trapped in the entity's realm? Are Lisa and Cybil trapped alongside the rest of the SH cast? Cheryl has some lore on how she ended up in the Entity's realm, but all we have for the other two are their cosmetic's description. For…
Got bored playing Saints Row IV once..
So enjoy the DBD chars i tried to make 🤣
Little Theory about James Sunderland and Silent Hill
So, I am one of those people that believes, within how Silent Hill operates, Pyramid Head probably wouldn't be in the Entity's Realm, especially without James. Pyramid Head is James' id, blah blah blah, whatever, that's not what this is about. Now, I am by no means an expert on Silent Hill lore, and I know the actual…
If the SCP Foundation made an entry on The Entity, what would it look like?
To all my SCP Foundation fans out there: If the SCP Foundation discovered The Entity, what would a document on it look like? What would it classified as?
Is legion underage
Title says it all. i don't think they are, but idk, it's not confirmed anywhere
folklore tales fan made dlc
new killer is called the skinwalker bio: This wasn't no normal creature that nobody could explain his origins and his backround. The hunters can't even know what this creature is. When there was a group of hunters that were hunting him and found out that they are hunting him by stalking them he knows what to do. One by one…
Theory- The player IS the Entity.
I believe that the players/users of the game are actually the Entity. Before a match starts, the player is able to pick a survivor or killer to play as in The Trial, who then appears in a puff of black smoke and yellow sparks, all signs of the Entity. As The Entity is in complete and utter control of the Trials, it would…
Eternal Blight, the final chapter?
I know this year’s Blight event wasn’t that great, but I do still love the Blight skins that have beenreleased this year (even if we can’t earn some for free) and the idea of the Blight event itself. Because of which, I’ll always look forward to another one. That said, there is one thing I’m wondering after visiting the…
How old are the killers?
The question is the title. I know that the 2 oldest killers are nurse and huntress. But i'm curious to what everyone's age is.
Lore wise who would be the strongest killer?
Seems like the Oni would be a good choice along with spirit and probably nurse.
Is there any lore reason some killers don’t have maps?
Like the title implies, is there any lore reason certain killers don’t have maps? I feel like Blight had a strong connection to the university, Bubba to his family’s home, etc.
I might have missed Halloween but Blight is on the scene
Ok really cringy title but I'm proud it. Tome Talks on both The Hunger and Doors Unknown to wrap up the Blight story. Doctor is next followed by Spirit closing to the Reckoning archives so then we can tackle Escalation archives and so on
Is Oni an actual Oni?
From his maskless model, he looks like he would have when he was alive, except with grey skin. However, his mask has a third eye that moves on its own. The only time he looks like an actual Oni is with the Cursed Fate cosmetic. In any other cosmetic he’s just a dude with an Oni mask. So, in short, is he an Oni wearing an…
I'm out of my slump so Tome talks return
What Happened to Talbot Grimes?
I just finished the collection entry Doors Unknown, and I am...really confused. What happened to Talbot Grimes once he came into the realm of the Entity? Can he still think? Was his original Blight form ever real, or did he immediately become the True Blight? If anybody has any theories, I'd be glad to hear them.
How reworked maps could be tied to the Entity's power
Greetings, everyone. I'll start by saying that, yes, this is a fan theory and, like most theories, it's just an idea. Now, let's talk about it. Not so long ago, many different maps received both minor and major changes, like, for example, reducing their tiles, removing infinite loops, etc. However, I'd like to concentrate…
What would happen if bill cipher met the entity?
Does anybody remember gravity falls? I'm pretty sure a lot of people watched the show at some point, bit I digress, what would happen if bill cipher were to meet the dbd entity in some way? How would they react to each other?
Claudette, canonically, could have visited Ormond Resort
Simply, both Claudette and the Legion lived in Canada, so Ormond is in Canada too. Claudette has a skin called 'chalet getaway' and the banner background is of Ormond Resort, a.k.a. a chalet. It's just a neat connection that can be made to help make the universe of DBD feel more entwined
What did Talbot Grimes mean by "Death is only the beginning"?
I wonder if Behavior are ever gonna expand on that.
Are licensed characters canon?
Title. Do you think the licensed killers- Myers, PH, Bubba, etc., etc. are canon? In my opinion, probably not - aside from Ghost Face considering he's an original character, just with a licensed costume.
Why were the Pestula plants made by the entity?
Keep in mind, this is assuming The Entity has total control over its realm and what life resides within it. So why are the Pestula plants a thing? Were they made specifically to be used by the Blight? Are they to complete the look of the place? Are they meant to be used as any kind of resource that has yet to be tapped…

Wouldn’t Steve and Nancy know Ash from evil dead movies and Ash would know them from stranger things
Steve and Nancy have probably seen a few horror movies and recognise characters like Michael Myers and ash, so wouldn’t ash recognize them from possibly watching stranger things? He was around after the release of the show so he could definitely recognize them.
Chapter 17's Teaser Location
Father Campbell's Chapel :)
It would be possible to come a third yamaoka killer?
On the map of the Family Residence there were two swords before the arrival of the oni one of them disappeared with just one more sword left, it would be a sign of another member?
Why do some killers have glowing white eyes while others don't?
I've noticed that some killers have them but why and why don't others have them?
Ash,David,Bill,and Ace All Decide To Fight The Killers, Who Do They Take Down?
The 4 all challenge the Entity to stop weakening them and buffing the killers for a proper fight. The Entity agrees under curiosity. Each fight is separate and everyone heals afterward, so theres no cross battle damage. The only weapons the 4 get are rocks and heavy sticks. What killers do you think the 4 could take down?…
How powerful are vigo and the entity?
Looking at past tome lore I've come up with three things, the auris is an artifact that has knowledge of all creation, an omniscient artifact, which has the ability to pull all the information from infinite dimensions and sources. The entity can directly search the omniverse very efficiently, knows vigo is in its realm and…

Do Steve and Nancy recognise some Killers?
I think we've all had this thought at some point. Considering Max in Season 2 dresses as Michael for Halloween, and the guys recognise her, I don't think it's a stretch to at least assume they both know the name. Same with Bubba too, and maybe Freddy, although I'm not sure when the first Nightmare movie came out
Why do you have to play as Lisa to get Philip's lore?
In Tome IV. I don't get it. I haven't unlocked every single lore entry for both, but I don't care about spoilers.
During the meeting of the 2 killers
I'm not sure if anyone has tackled this idea yet but if any on has please tell me :) I have seen Manny threads talking about the idea of killers meeting or seeing each other after/before a trial but one question has not came to mind (yet again I'm not sure about this) that question being what would the 2 or 3 would do?…
What are Freddy's dream snares?
When stepping on them, hands appear to emerge from them and try to grab you. This makes me wonder, what exactly are they supposed to be? Demons reaching out for you or something?
