The Bloodweb lore wise is so creepy
The Bloodweb is so creepy. As the player we are some type of guiding force for the Killers and Survivors. We as the players are the ones who feed the Entity while it rewards us with bloodpoints in order to continue the torture. In some ways we ourselves are the Entity. After we earn bloodpoints we perform forbidden…

Things I Personally Dislike About Skull Merchant
Fun Intro Just like all my posts, this is my opinion. Feel free to have yours in the comments. I always love hearing from everyone else. I have made some of these points in the past, but I wanted to make a nice organized post on it. As terribly as the gameplay was, and I still hate it, I'm gonna try and keep this to the…

What would happen if killers and survivors just did nothing in a trial?
If they did absolutely nothing, would that starve the Entity? I'm not saying they'd be taken by the void, I'm talking about if everyone just suddenly stopped killing/doing gens/anything. Could that hurt the Entity?

What is The Knights, aka, Torhas's Stance?
Through the Knight's Lore we get to know that he experiended an Extreme amount of Violence with his Village literally being attacked and Massacred, with him surviving the Attack and feeling an un-desribable feeling known as "being in Awe." So was he in Awe with the Violence? Did he like it and wanted more of it? Because…

The Legion Comics
Has anyone else been reading them? I've just recently got the third issue and I think they are an amazing addition to the story of the Legion.

What was The Dredge doing before it was taken?
I really don’t think it was taken directly after Otter Stamper summoned it, it’s in game description isn’t really specific on where it went after it appeared from the ground. Most, if not all, killer bios end with “and then they disappeared into the fog lol,” but Dredge’s bio doesn’t. There’s no mention of any fog, he just…

Is Benedict Baker + his journal still canon?
Benedict was a survivor in DBD that wrote extra little entries on all the survivors and killers up until Clown’s release. BHVR has since scrubbed most, if not all, of his stuff. I’m just not sure if that implies a retcon or if it’s the world’s slowest-burning ARG. Thoughts?

Where does Maria fit into the Lore?
In Silent Hill 3 we do learn that Maria was in fact a real person in the town of Silent Hill, a dancer at Haven's Night However, the Maria we see in Silent Hill 2 and the one we play as in the fog is the manifestation created for James. So Maria is just a manifestation of Silent Hill. Like Pyramid Head himself Maria is the…

Is there a "why" do the skins exists?
So, I was reading a few discussions here, and started to link as well these short descriptions the skins have. We know so far they have a lore behind related to certain life episodes of each character. Now, my question goes beyond that. Is there a reason why skins exist in the entity real as it is? To put up a theory for…

The Entity wants survivors to escape?
So I recently learned that pallets are made up of the fog (which is also the entity) so does that mean The Entity is helping them and wants them to escape, if not why pallets, why gens and exit gates, why make it even possible to escape, and also why killers? Once the endgame timer finishes the entity just kills them…

Seeing stamper turning up a lot in the lore
There's the stampers in doctors and dredges lore and now a different stamper showing up in the lore for nick cage as well. I'd be interested to see if they expand on it, perhaps a family working to feed people to the entity or part of some kind of entity related cult.

Tierlist of how strong killers would be in a fight lorewise. (Open for debate)
these fights are based on the killer vs an average human, the Human has very little to zero prep time (adrenaline and fear is gonna start kicking in), guns are not allowed for the human, killers are at their normal strength IRL (not entity strength boosted). Quick context on the tiers: Death: you could not beat this killer…

Where did the idea of Pyramid Head is against the Entity came from, because it isn't true lorewise
Entity sought out Pyramid Head after Silent Hill "When his duty was complete and his presence no longer needed, he prepared for the long rest — and yet, his skills were required elsewhere. The Fog that streamed over him was somehow different than that he was accustomed to in Silent Hill, as if each wisp contained the…

The killers returning to earth prt 2
This is a question I asked 2 years ago and ever since I asked that question have we received a lot of new content and stories to explore. now like last time, this is a form of "what-if" because of course we don't know what would happen if everyone just returned to earth. We aren't so sure if they'll return to their…

Are ALL current Survivors really in the entitys realm anymore?
Whilst most of our questions about DBD Lore are awnsered, there's still one that bothers me: Are the current Survivors we have in the game really inside of the Entitys realm anymore? What i mean by this is that right now, the Realm is getting a bit too Full. There are many Survivors at the campfire and if more characters…

Possible scenarios for the future
There’s some really interesting things the devs can explore but just haven’t yet. Let’s start with stuff that will most likely happen. Saku, the Redcrane is most likely going to join our survivor roster at some point. Her story has been told in the tomes, just like Haddie so I think it’s possible for her to be joining in…

for me, i hope that this tome puts Gabriel and Hux into one slot so another character could get some more lore because dear lord idk how they can expand their lores without it being useless info like Gabriel’s past life which never even existed. Skull Merchant’s tome story was really good so i’m for something great because…

Is there a point to survivng?
What goal do they achieve by escaping the killer, what's the point of the trials, why not just bleed out and die every single trial, because they'll still be in the realm regardless if they win or lose, is the endless trials a part of the lore, or is that just a game aspect, if its lore, yeah, there's no point to survive…

Can somebody clarify?
I am no quiet sure, but does singularity is actually an alien robot? It story states that it should be human-like android and also it used some alien skeleton while building itself with genmat, so question is the thing we see in game is not created by humans, right?

My LEAST Favourite Survivors And Why
This is a bit of a serious post but also a joke, so don't take it too seriously. Also if anything in here that I'm saying is negative and you relate to it, this is just a rant about fictional characters and I get along with people who have the same traits just fine, so don't take it personally. That said, enjoy. Jane…

Survivor/Killer relations, how would they go, realistically?
So we know the average killer & survivor can't exactly leave the Entity's Realm at will, and seldom knows how to do so. And we know that it takes a lot for all the emotion, be it hope, fear or anger to be wrung out of someone in the Realm for them to be thrown into the void, so basically, safe to say that this ragtag group…

The "Fake" Skull Merchant is cooler than the real one
If you didn't read Skull Merchants lore (i dont blame you) then you might not know that shes actually basing her entire personality and clothing and weapons on a fictional character, also called the Skull Merchant.

How accurate is Tarhos to real medieval knights?

I mean I think it would fit her lore really great since she obviously has a connection to the entity. It would make sense if she could influence its world in a way.
