Discussions about the Entity's realm

Nemesis' Zombies Question
Hey, do you think the zombies are just constructs created by the Entity, who saw them in the RE universe and replicated them? Or are they just some poor individuals, who are super duper, double unlucky, having first fallen victim to a zombie plague, then sucked into the Entity's realm where not even death will release them…
Angel of Death in dbd
Sent from Death himself An Angelic like being is burned into the Entity's realm to do the Entity's Will with only one task Kill. Description gruesome looking one winged Angel that chases Survivors with A Giant cross weapon -Mori See the beautiful face of an Angelic female sunshine then suddenly you're hooked on the cross…
nancy steve and the demogorgon
they proably hope when they go against him 11 has a chance of finding them through the demogorgon
Lore sources
I’m sure this has been asked before so apologies, but I scrolled back a few pages and couldn’t see it. Where’s the best place to read lore? Each character has an information button in-game where there’s some (usually brief) lore, and the game’s website has some detailed character lores but doesn’t seem to have one for…
What if the entity is on the killer side but wants survivors to have a better chance at winning?
I think the entity is being smart so it has the realms more on the surviver side so they can have more hope.it also explains why there is flashlights,pallets,and closets
If Jill is Jill and not RE Jill in Entity's realm, how does Feng cosplay as her?
Jill doesn't have a lot of lore related to DBD but it does say that she was engulfed by the fog like the original characters. That means she's Jill in the Entity's realm and not a character from another video game. It doesn't make sense, then, that Feng can cosplay as her. Same goes for Felix and Chris.
About Entity rewarding killers
In one of the cosmetics of doctor it's mentioned that he got an entire ship full of people to experiment on from the entity. This means that more killers are rewarded by doing great job by her. This is extremly horrifying looking at some killers that we have, like Freddy...
Is Jonah Vasquez autistic?
Some people online were recently talking about Greg on the TV show "Abbott Elementary" showing autistic traits without explicitly labeling him autistic and I immediately thought about Jonah and his similarities to that. Like, how his backstory, his perks and the descriptions on some of his outfits fits that bill: He's…
Additional tome for The Hag (Lisa Sherwood)
The tome she got was honestly…weak. Sure, it was some nice backstory on how she discovered the charms and symbols used by the village elders, but all we learn from this tome is “Don’t mess with powers you don’t understand”. I think this ultimately ties in well with her base lore in which she uses the charms to turn herself…
Are there two versions of blight or is that blighted skin tomb video not cannon?
I know this might sound stupid but in a tomb video it shows someone turing into blight with the blighted skin so I'm confused since I thought skins aren't cannon. Are there two versions of blight or did he turn back into a human?
Do the killers talk with one another in the Entity's realm ?
Lore wise, do you think they interact with one another when not chasing survivors, or are they simply isolated individually in their own corner of the realm ?
Jake Park Alternate Lore Skin
I would love to see a skin for Jake Park were instead of him being an outcast and living off the grid on the edge of the woods, He has completely embraced his heritage that his father passed down to him and has became a successful CEO. I was thinking like a coat much like Adam Francis's and a suit to match underneath. For…
Do we have any original female killer who's evil?
I've fully read each killer's backstory but I've realized that all of the female killers are technically killer because they had horrible stuff happening to them, the closest killer to being purely evil or a serial killer prior to being taken is maybe Nurse. But she only began killing the patients due to the abuse she…
Not really a fan of the whole 'the black vale thing interconnects everything' stuff
I'll keep this short and salty: Expanding lore is fine and dandy, but this whole 'everything is interconnected' thing bhvr has going since the blight chapter, this whole 'black vale' cult etc... It takes something away. Because it feels like there's no actual room to expand the characters. Cause you just KNOW that at this…
Is there a canon thing between nurse and wraith?
So I've come across one of the wraith's outfits that suggests he tries to woo the nurse, and the nurse has an outfit using the same name. Also was looking at the wraith's page on the dbd wiki and there's an image in the gallery of him dancing with the nurse. Is this a genuine canon thing? The pic could be fan art but the…
The new tome lore is a big bombshell for The Artist
It reveals a lot about the Artist without it being her own tome. Key points: SPOILERS • She was an experiment of the Black Veil which didn’t go as planned. • Her mother isn’t dead, and the Black Veil didn’t want them to make contact. • Her father was paid to work for them and keep an eye on his daughter. • Her brother was…
Help with Jonahs Tome
Hello there! I've been a fan of DbD since the early days, but got around to play it almost 2 years ago. That's not important. What I'm tryna say is I have never sat down and read the lore from the characters. Just recently something made me start reading some characters stories and Jonahs story caught my eye. I like the…
Which character do you want a tome for?
For me? Ill just make my opinion very clear right of the bat: Thats it...just give me a Zarina tome and i will be very happy indeed. What about u guys?
Dreams of DBD's future
I had a dream last night and I've dreaming of playing DBD. I can remember I played as Jake and Mikaela Reid is following me. The map is somewhat new to me and it was possibly was second Withered Isle map. I've seen that Jake and Mikaela blessed 2 dull totems at the same time. and they have blessed them for 8 seconds faster…
Scoops Ahoy Steve Outfit Lore
As we won't possibly ever get any additional lore for the ST cast, I found it quite interesting to think of your own story for them. I don't think my story is great, but I made it in my own way. The funky monkey way! It doesn't have anything to do with Stranger Things, it's just based off of the ice cream obsession. What…
What kind of killers/survivors do you want to see in dbd?
What kinds if characters? For me personally, here are a few - a scar crow killer, who was ether brought to life by witchcraft, or a person that was killed and stuffed inti it - an underwater and land killer based on mythology - a shapshifting killer - a killer similer to wanda maximoff, someone who was kindnapped and…
Contradiction in Soldiers of Mayhem
Just doing some fan work writing imagining how Joey's tome would be and comparing with Soldiers of Mayhem and I noticed a contradiction. Julie only comes up with the name 'The Legion' on the night they attack the hardware store which is of course their last night in the normal world. However we know that Jeff did the mural…
What survivor or killer do you think feeds the entity the most?
Note that the entity feeds off emotion. I would say doctor, you can hear the amount of joy he has… a little too much
So, are the Armored and War Hammer Titans Canon or Cosplay?
I know in the developer stream it was said that the Attack on Titan Collection would be "cosplay," but the in-game descriptions for the Titan skins call them "creatures from a lost realm," as opposed to costumes. They are also classified as Ultra Rare, which I remember @Mandy once said the rule of thumb is that they are…
What killer archetype are you interested in seeing next?
There's been players who asked for a killer that can teleport to lockers and we got Dredge. I'm sure there players asking for a gun-based killer which lead to Deathslinger. Seems like BHVR does listen to what fans want next as a killer in terms of mechanics. With that being said, which of these sounds the most hype to you?…
Moved: Killer Concept: The Curse
This discussion has been moved.
Do body parts from survivors disappear after a trial?
Does the clowns finger collection disappear, or does he have a ton of clone fingers?
Tombs & Graves In The Forsaken Boneyard
Anyone know if the letters/numbers of the tombs/graves of the Forsaken Boneyard come from a real language?
Tome 12 and Escaping the Trials
Hey everyone, I've gotten hooked on DBD since starting a little more than a year ago. I stayed because I loved the lore and the notion of killers and survivors being trapped in the Entity's realm and my own hopes of the story going in a direction of beating the Entity. So far with this tome, Tome 12, I've been the entries…
Could Philip Ojomo be Joey's father?
I know it's not canonically stated but is it theoretically possible? Philip Ojomo came to the United States somewhere between 1970 and 1984, Joey was born in 1978 and the only known family is a single Mum, yes in Canada but who knows what she was up to. Philip and Joey share a fair bit in common and have very similar…
How Intelligent is the Dredge?
Based on what we've seen written and shown about it - the sense that I get is that the Dredge is not very intelligent at all; maybe about at the level of a dog? It, for all intents and purposes, is a profane monstrosity created to be a servant of the entity. All it really needs to do is be obedient and spread terror, which…
Resident Evil: Project W Character Lore
As usual for a licensed chapter, there's basically no lore for these three, but Rebecca and Albert still got more than usual, and it is leagues better than what we got in the last RE PTB (which was quite literally nothing). Ada Wong Everything about Ada Wong was an enigma. Her history, her nationality, her allegiances, her…
Blights new lore
Somewhat spoilers if you haven’t read it all and seen the clip that comes at the end. Is this essentially the trigger for Blight seeking out the Entities realm? The trip into the bleed is essentially a trip into the entities realm, but it’s described as something we’ve never seen before. A realm covered in luminescent…
Do you think the Entity is aware of us?
Us, as the player, take on the role of survivors and killers. But would the Entity know? Is the entire game just a connection to the Entity and it just uses us as a tool to sustain itself much like the survivors and killers? I feel to some degree it would be aware. An eldritch being after-all is usually powerful enough to…
What IS the Dredge?
The Dredge’s lore doesn’t go very deeply into what the Dredge actually is, just a vague idea of what it is. The manifestation of the bad thoughts of the townspeople of The Fold. This all seems a bit…fantastical? But when looking at it from the eyes of someone that knows about the existence of The Entity and a cult that…
Is time linear in the entity’s realm?
In M.Cote’s interview with “king” and “Pauline Esther” he said that a killer could not also exist as a survivor, I don’t understand how this can be the case as multiple versions of the same person CAN exist at the same time (i.e four bills loading into a match, etc). This also links back into stopping of blighted events…
pinhead and the entity, the box as an escape ?
most killer got captured but not pinhead he still resides in leviathans realm , why do i think that ? well his spawning animation is exactly what you think it is and most people miss it he holds an opened box in the hand (propably triggered by the entity), closes it and then sends it somewhere around the realm he is in .…
Has Pinhead and Chatterer switched their allegiance to Entity from the Leviathan
Does the original outfit 'Hell Priest' for Pinhead reflect this, him serving another god
Small headcanon, i think Bubba's family also came to the fog after he was taken including Grandpa
Nubbins after getting run-over by the truck was resurrected back in the realm, Dryton,Nubbins,Chop-Top and Grandpa now live carefree in Coldwind farm and has adopted Billy as an unofficial member of their Cannibal family and Grandpa is the best at killing
Jonah Desperately Needs a lore rewrite!
Jonah Vasquez is one of the most hated survivors in the game and the main reason is the lore making him a war criminal. BHVR tried to say a political messages of the Chile Dictatorship but made the bad side the Survivor like how are we supposed to root for them if they killed multiple people then just brushed it off 😕…
Why was zarina's father murderd?
This is a question i'v been wondering for a while, i was wondering why the gang member in zarina's story killed her father?
Most morally good survivor?(original survivors)
I would have to say zarina. I may be biased because i love her, but i think she is the most morally good person. She puts herself into dangerous situations and even goes out of her way to avenge her fathers death by interviewing his own killer. She does all this simply because it's the right thing to do. She also has no…
The Mad Designer
Has anyone readed about her? She was in many lore entries and in the anniversary year 6 she got revealed a bit.. So.. Next original killer like blight or surv haddie Kaur? One of the examples is she was responsible for the masks from the masquerade.. And she seems to design/sketches some killer and monster outfits so I'm…
Nurse: I think the tome lore benefits her character more than it takes away
When further lore was revealed for Nurse, I saw a lot of complaints about how it ruined her character and made her less likeable/sympathetic. I understood that sentiment around the time but the more I think about it, the more I feel it doesn’t make much sense. Her base lore paints her in a sympathetic light. She’s a woman…
Which killer and survivor would you be friends with And why?
I want to be friends with Feng and Ace because they're both my mains lol And the other reason is that i connect with feng's backstory more than any character in DBD
Which Survivors Could Beat the DBD killers (pt 1 Trapper)
Correct Me if I'm wrong 😃 I'll will be doing wraith next
Haddie's Hair
According to lore, Haddie's hair turned white. Why does it look blue in the game?
What do you think survivors think about seeing other versions of themselves in the trials?
I'd imagine they'd be pretty confused for their first few trials.
What do you guys think of a Scooby-Doo License chapter?!
I'm here to state I'm not a Scooby Doo fan but always felt Fred, Velma, Shaggy & Daphne would fit perfectly in this game! It'd be so much fun and the memes would be endless. How would you guys feel about it?
