Grey Mourner

"Why does che' wake? Why does che' persist? Ahhh Le'mer, you could not know of tragedy as complete as che's, true lovers stripped apart, two worlds that could not meet."

- Grey Mourner

Grey Mourner is a Quest NPC in Hollow Knight. She asks the Knight to deliver a Delicate Flower to her lover's grave in Queen's Gardens.

Grey Mourner's real name is Ze'mer. She used to be one of the Five Great Knights of Hallownest. She is not originally from Hallownest, being native to an area outside of the kingdom known as "lands serene". It is from this place that she also brought delicate flowers.

The daughter of the Traitor Lord was her lover, but the mantises denied their union, rejecting Grey Mourner due to her being an outsider. When her Mantis lover died, Grey Mourner retreated to her house in the Resting Grounds where she turned to mourning.

The Grey Mourner is found in the east area of the Resting Grounds, behind breakable walls. It requires Desolate Dive or Descending Dark to reach.

She talks about her dead lover and requests that the Knight takes a Delicate Flower to her grave, located in the Queen's Gardens. This flower will break if the Knight uses Fast Travel, teleports with the Dreamgate, or takes damage.

She dissipates after successfully completing this quest, leaving behind a Mask Shard.

Location
The Grey Mourner is found residing in a house in a hidden area in the east of the Resting Grounds. Her residence is referred to as the "Grey Mansion" on the physical map.
