Fusing the header to the rest of the table is possible, but requires a lot more coding and will make filling in the table more complex than it has to. I might as well drop it at this point.

First try
The Godseeker is a bug who traveled to Hallownest seeking "gods", powerful beings revered for their strength and power. In her mind, she exists in a different shape and carries her tribe of godseekers, with whom she shares a collective mind. They inhabit a dream of their own making: Godhome. She starts the quest of Godmaster.

The Godseekers' previous land turned void of life but themselves, which prompted them to travel and seek new gods. They use the Godtuner to track powerful being in distant lands. Through attunement with the device, the Godseeker allows the mind or essence of these creatures to enter Godhome and become gods. There, the godseekers observe fights with the gods within pantheons. With each fight, they aim to ascend to and commune with even higher creatures.

The Godseeker ended up in Hallownest following the remnants of the Pale King's power. With the King's vanishing, she hopes to bridge instead Godhome, through the ritual of the pantheons, to the realm of the "God of Gods" of Hallownest, and commune with her. She however found herself trapped and enchained in a sarcophagus-like cocoon, which forced her into hibernation and prompted her physical metamorphosis. The cocoon can be found washed away down the Royal Waterways in the Junk Pit, and can be unlocked with a Simple Key.

When the Godseeker is freed, she automatically drops her Godtuner and starts the quest of Godmaster. Using the Dream Nail on the Godseeker allows the Knight to enter Godhome and join its ritual of ascension. When the first three Pantheons are completed, there is a 2% chance to enter once the Tuner Workshop in the Godseeker's forbidden memories. The Godseeker in Hallownest will gradually wake up with each pantheon the Knight completes. She will also accept the Delicate Flower when offered to her.

The Godseeker is at first defiant of the Knight, but will gain interest in them as they ascend past the Pure Vessel. Throughout the final pantheon, she shares with them her despair of not being able to tune to Hallownest's other higher beings of the past. When the Knight finally ascends past the Absolute Radiance, it becomes Void Given Focus and is attuned to Godhome. Instead of communion, this new God of Gods consumes both Godhome and the Godseeker's physical body, much to her awe. If the Delicate Flower was given to her, the flower will make the Void Given Focus vanish instead of being freed into Hallownest.

Second try
The Godseeker is a vain bug who traveled to Hallownest seeking "gods", powerful beings revered for their strength and power. In her mind, she exists in a different shape and carries her tribe of godseekers, with whom she shares a collective mind. They inhabit a dream of their own making: Godhome. She starts the quest of Godmaster.

The Godseekers originate from a land called the Land of Storms, turned void of life but themselves. Their gods either died or abandoned them, which prompted them to travel and seek new ones. At some point, they merged within the mind of a single Godseeker. This individual can focus their thoughts into a complex dream world: Godhome. This feat is possible through their mask, which can be passed along other Godseekers. They also built a temporary tuning device in order to find the resonance of other powerful beings in distant lands.
 * Lore/Backstory/History

The current Godseeker bearing the mask ended up in Hallownest following the remnants of the Pale King's power. With the King's vanishing, she hopes to attune instead Godhome to the "God of Gods" of Hallownest, and commune with her. For this, she uses the Godtuner to attune the mind or essence of Hallownest's most powerful creatures to Godhome, where they can become gods. There, the godseekers observe their fights within the pantheons. With each fight, they aim to ascend to and commune with even higher, out-of-reach creatures, until reaching the Radiance herself.

During her quest, the Godseeker was forced to go into hibernation for unknown reasons, which prompted her physical metamorphosis. She ended up in a chained sarcophagus-like cocoon, which was washed away down the Royal Waterways.

The Godseeker's coffin can be found deep in the Junk Pit, and can be unlocked with a Simple Key. When the Godseeker is freed, she automatically drops her Godtuner. The Knight can pick it up and start seeking gods for her. They can also use the Dream Nail on her to enter Godhome and join the gods' fights. There is a 2% chance to enter instead a forbidden memory of the Godseeker depicting their initial tuning device after completing the first three Pantheons. She reacts angrily at this intrusion and will throw the Knight out into Godhome.
 * Godmaster

In Hallownest, the Godseeker gradually wakes up with each pantheon the Knight completes. She encourages them to seek gods for her, rewarding them only of her sight and presence. In Godhome however, the Godseeker berates the Knight for their intrusion. She later gains interest in them on their way to ascend past the Pure Vessel, noting both vessels' similarities. The Godseeker finally opens up to the Knight and encourages them as they ascend throughout the final pantheon. She even shares with them her despair of not being able to tune to Hallownest's other higher beings of the past.

When the Knight finally ascends past the Absolute Radiance, they become Void Given Focus and become the new focus of the godseekers' communion. However this new God of Gods overtake both Godhome, the godseekers' tribe and the Godseeker's physical body, much to her awe. If the Delicate Flower was given to her before the Knight's final ascension, the flower will make the Void Given Focus vanish instead of being freed into Hallownest.
