If Killers were Survivors and Survivors were Killers.....
Just wanna say up front, this isn't a suggestion, it's just a fun creative exercise to overcome some Writer's Block I've had lately. Nonetheless, feel free to call everything in here a pointless pile of crap. That's fine. Consider this a creative shitpost. I had this fun thought last night - How would a role reversal work…

Inconsistencies between Zarina and Caleb's backstories (and how they make MORE sense)
While we wait for Chains of Hate to officially come out so I can place Caleb Quinn in the Killer Timeline, I noticed that he and Zarina are connected. The reason Zarina got caught by the Entity is because she was investigating Caleb's massacre of Hellshire Penitentiary. Except, in Zarina's lore, it's called the "Mad Mick…

Who's under Pyramid Head's Pyramid Head Confirmed! (Not Clickbait)
DWIGHT IS PYRAMID HEAD. Think about it, Bond and Deathbound have almost the same graphic except one is sPoOOkYYYYyYy. They both have two hands tied together with something. And if that wasn't enough proof, Pyramid Head is the only killer in the game that pretty much punches the locker when he closes it. Simple answer. He's…

We need another Female Survivor
We need another Female Survivor for the next chapter that looks really attractive/hot. :) We need to have each chapter come with 2 Female Survivors and 2 Male Survivors for the other 2 Chapters. :) Devs please do this, Also we need to have survivors which are thin,fat,and thick. :) And preferably another black survivor…

The algebra of the infinite night and a gator tooth
I dont even have much to say other than I think this is the best story telling in DBD to date. It does everything I think these lore stories should, it provides insight into who the character is a person, how they got to be that way, and even connects back to their power. The ending cinematic where Philip rings the bells…

The Blights next move
After his transformation, will the blight continue his experiments on the other killers or will somone else find his notes and pursue the florid nightmare.

Potential Future Killer / Survivor
The Blight and Felix Richter mark a new chapter in DBD lore, with a character who has been foreshadowed for years finally appearing in the Fog. Previously, the closest we got to this was the change to Family Residence shrine foreshadowing Kazan Yamaoka's arrival. As such, I think we might be able to look to the lore for…

Your thoughts on having Talbot Grimes (The Blight) as a playable survivor ingame?
The short version of this guy story. He is the The Alchemist from Hallowed Blight event. He wanted to help people with his potions but unknown to him, he caused some deaths with them. He learn about the deaths he caused after he got kidnapped and he feel very guilty about it and want to redeem himself. He get rescued by a…
-
Why can The Executioner execute survivors without an offering?
Mori offerings to kill survivors by their hands are apparently rewards for the killer. The Shape can kill survivors using tombstone because The Entity is unable to control him because of his emotionless lust to kill. Still don't fully understand Rancor or Devour Hope. However, I'm also wondering, how is The Executioner…

Anyone noticed the similarities between The Entity and the D&D plane of Ravenloft?
Title says it all. The Entity is a living breathing demi-plane of sorts that steals people to it's hellish dimension for it's own ends and personal sustenance from all across space time. Known for it's fog and red stain marking the corruption of beings from the Entity's touch. Ravenloft is a sentient plane of existence…

So This Is The Killers Relationship With The Entity
I think this is accurate to people being under the entitys control. Trapper: Unwilling, had to be tortured into submission. Wraith: Unwilling, the entity has to manipulate him Billy: Unwilling? the entity has to manipulate him but hes down with murder Nurse: Unwilling Myers: Doesn't care, entity can't control him Hag:…

whats the story behind Blight's weapon?
So I read Blight's story and don't remember anything in it saying how he got this weird pickaxe thingy as his weapon. And i'm very curious how he did because it looks so interesting with this weird red stone in it.
-
What Other Lore Characters Do We Have That Aren't Actually In The Main Mode?
With the Blight coming out I am now only aware of three proper characters in the lore that aren't apart of the Main Mode. That being the Observer, Vigo, and Benedict. Am I missing anyone else? I don't count characters like the lost tapes crew cause they all have one off mentions and no other significance in the lore to my…

What Irl songs would be on the Legion's mixtapes?
So this discussion was a thing last year, and I wanted to revive the conversation because I think it's really interesting. Original Link: Anyway, I decided to be a creative little scrub and not only made a tier list for the mixtapes, but I also thought why not put some modern era songs on there? So here it is: (This is a…

Is Glenvale in Arizona or no?
I know what the wiki says and I know what the map looks like, but... something 'bout it strikes me as odd. Hellshire's in Nebraska (see Zarina's lore), Caleb's from South Dakota (see the behind the scenes vid), and given everything the whole thing strikes me as off. It's around 1000 miles from arizona to nebraska (middle…

Is it possible for Ghostface to get in an archive?
Hear me out. The character Danny Johnson isn't licensed, only the Ghost Face is. So is it possible that we'll get some lore for the actual character behind the mask in a future tome? Tell me what you think. I came up with this idea at midnight last night and I was tired AF, so I probably missed something.

The road to omnipotence
Ever since I played dead by daylight I've always had one question, who are the ancients the mysterious arcane guy talks about, and are they omnipotent beings? I'm going to refer to this guy as the architect, since I don't know his real name, he studied the entity for many years and has played trial by trial of the entitys…

Benedict didn't write the Hallowed Blight journals.
So there are two different persons in the lore: a) Our friend Benedict Baker, presumably a journalist or detective, who embarked on a journey to investigate the Macmillan Estate missing cases in 1956. He did a thorough library research beforehand and was at least to some extent aware of what he'd get himself into. During…

Just want to point out
Felix has most likely clashed with the entity once before being taken. In his bio: Exploring an abandoned internment camp, they descended into what seemed to be an underground laboratory where they uncovered old, leather journals with illustrations and notes of inhumane experiments conducted on prisoners of the First Opium…

Why I'm not too keen on the whole 'entity cult' thing, personally
I dunno why, and maybe the devs will prove me wrong, but Felix and Talbot both have this feeling of 'chosen one' to me, and I don't like it. On the side of survivors we have people from all walks of life, but who is the first (only?) one to lore wise be able to make a difference by all means? A blond, white, rich dudebro.…

Is There Any Real Hope For The Survivors Escaping?
Title. I've recently been trying to get more into the lore and I wonder if theres any hope for them. All I've got is Vigos use of the pusteala flowers (I think thats the name) to escape the void.
-
How Do Other Dimensions Work In The Entitys Realm?
I'm mainly referring to the Upside Down and Silent Hill. We know they exist because Demo can traverse the Upside Down and everyone can traverse Silent Hill. Since Silent Hill is controlled by something (I think its the sun goddess), does that mean the Entity has to make a deal with them or can she just replicate it in her…
-
So, if the Entity does make mistakes...
(inspired by a post in the 'do killers meet' thread) Now, if the devs said the Entity does make mistakes, how likely is it e.g. for having forgotten to mess with the hearing of the killers who's eyes it messed with (deathslinger e.g.) Cause, lbr, it's not big mistakes that make the biggest difference, it's the small ones.

Fun lore Questions
Here are some lore questions that no one asked for :-) -What IRL songs do you think would be on the Legion's mixtapes? -Obviously, Killers have corresponding maps. But some killers have lore that ties into them (Max's room, Thompson house, Asarov, Asarov's resting place, Cannibal's cellar, swamp) Can these locations be…

Vigo's the new killer?
The Blight = Tome 1 Guy = Vigo?

Cleansing totems
When a survivor cleanses a totem...what exactly are they doing? Like, how do they cleanse it? I'm sure that they just don't rub it until it breaks by itself. If that was the case, they could just kick it. And why do they grunt while doing it?
-
Do Killers Meet Each Other?
Sorry for asking so many questions, I'm relatively new to the lore side of DBD. But do killers see each other? I know legion can see the other members but that seems to be the exception rather than the rule. I think it'd be pretty boring if they didn't. I'd love to see something like Death Slinger and Huntress get into a…

Where *do* cosmetics come from in-universe?
I don't mean special 'theme' cosmetics like the greek legends, but 'normal' outfits. Does the Entity regularly raid the character's closets?

Machination of Horrors (Death Slinger short story)
Air in the saloon hung still, like there was no oxygen, just tobacco smoke from a previous reality, frozen in a timeless place to remind those of the vices that came before. Phantom notes played on the Grand Piano, no musician in sight. Was there actual music coming from this instrument's keys or was this a cruel illusion…

I have a theory.
What if the entity lets the survs go after 100 years or 500? You get what I'm sayin'? Edit: I mean if they suffered enough.

What do you think amenda(pig) thinks about the survivors

Descend Beyond Character lore
Since I haven't really seen anyone else post anything about this, here's the lore for Felix Richter and the Blight that I spent some time typing from the game (there may be a few punctuation differences, but otherwise, it's word for word). Felix Richter Felix Richter was born to Janos and Ursula Richter in Coburg, Germany,…

What songs do you think the legion mix tapes have?
Based on what we know of the legion members and the way they dress what kind of songs do you think they have on their mixtapes?

The scariest part about Dead By Daylight is that it is technically eternal suffering.
Just think about it. Forget about killers or trials, they are not the thing that is the most insane and horrifying in DbD. It is the eternal aspect of it. Time flows different in realm of the Entity, years, thousands of years can pass, while it is less than second outside. It's like a dream, where you experience entire…

Is The Blight Vigo?
They both use the flowers, they both are researchers, and Blight has Vigos journal as an addon. But the name is different. So is he the same person going by an alius or are they two different people with considerable overlap in lore?

Connecting the Blight - Has he been in the realm since 2018?
With the PTB release of the Blight we have received, what I think is, the last piece in a larger story that has been told since the first Hallowed Blight Event in 2018. Here is what I think the first time we were introduced to the new killer “The Blight” aka Talbot Grimes.. The first time we come across Talbot is in the…

Who are you? (Uh huh) I am you (What) I am me, no, sir, you are you
Alright, it's 3am. And I'm running on fumes. I had a thought about how the Entity and Realm have select Survivors and Killers. But more on the Survivor side... Lore wise... How do you suppose it explains Doppelgangers. Combinations of twins, triplets and quads that all look like each other. Fun answers, we all know it's…
