Emilitia

"I'm renowned amongst the upper caste of Hallownest. ...Well I was... once, until those cretins cast me out."

- Eternal Emilitia

Eternal Emilitia is an NPC in Hollow Knight. Her room provides access to a shortcut between the City of Tears and the east side of the Royal Waterways.

Lore
Emilitia used to be renowned amongst the upper caste of Hallownest but was at some point cast out by her fellows. While the rest of Hallownest's higher class has died, their bodies walking around mindlessly in the City of Tears, Emilitia managed to survive. This fact brings her great happiness, causing her to laugh to herself constantly in her room.

Hollow Knight
Emilitia can be found in a hidden room in the City of Tears. Her room is first only accessible through a series of hidden walls in the Royal Waterways, but after the door is opened from within it can be reentered at any point, providing an alternative entrance to the Waterways.

She can be offered a Delicate Flower, but will not accept it as she believes the flower's pure aura is no match for the light of the Pale King.
