Lore

Discussions about the Entity's realm
  • She never killed a single person according to her backstory, and only did what was best for her people. One could argue that she caused more happiness and joy than harm. The Entity has always chosen killers who have murdered before in the past, so why did it choose her? I know that she prayed to a god to answer her, but that is usually not the Entities M.O, instead preferring to take killers from

  • Is it just me or the waith design does not seem very consistent with his lore? I mean, as far as we know he probably came from Africa, much of his appearance and his add ons reflect that, and don't get me wrong, I love his looks, but I always think of how much he seens odd for his realm and everything seems very random. When we talk about someone like Herman Carter for exemple everything seems to

  • Trapper hates hooks and has hook marks in his back. It got me thinking that what if every killer was once a strong survivor that eventually went crazy and was offered a release by The Entity ? They saw that killing was a way to educate survivors. Entity reminds me of Jigsaw and Trials reminds me of Jigsaw's Games. What if Benedict went from a strong survivor to being a strong killer ? Then he e

  • Perhaps they don't trust or agree with the entity and want to help the survivors. I mean they are essentially the ones who do all of the entities dirty work so it would make sense.

  • The devs described david as an ######### in a stream once so it makes me wonder what other survivors think of him his perks show he wants to help but maybe he just comes off as a little too aggressive. Do you guys have any head canons about this i like to think he wants to help but he comes of as aggressive making survivors a bit annoyed or scared of him.

  • I think this would really sound great if we actually all got to battle the entity. "The giant tentacle monster" from the sky that whisks away our bodies, and get OUT of the trial once and for all.... Every story has an end, or does it?

  • This is a great video to explain the differences between how DbD's story is being told now and how it could have been told (i.e. before things like the archives and before Kate's introduction into the game etc.) https://youtu.be/gcyrrTud3x4 DbD's story is falling into the Hard World building category, and not in a good way imo. I used to be interested in the DbD lore,

  • hi guys blz? I'm trying to play with a friend, him as a survivor and me as a murderer, but can't you call him when I'm looking for a game to be one? Can it be in a public one or just a closed one?

  • Through out the time spent here in the realm and constantly being tortured by the entity and its servants/killers, why hasn’t the survivor try to rebel against the killers, why hasn’t the survivor gain the courage to kill a killer?

  • I’m a little interested in the blight expérimentations on the killers and I’m still wondering how the next batch of killers will react to the blight serum, so my questions to you to help me answer is... 1) how will the new killers or none experimented killers react to the blight 2) how would the survivors react to the blight if they were injected 3) could there be more then one type of bligh

  • This may be very unimportant and dumb to ask about, but there is something I’ve been wondering about some lore outfits from the Archives. Maybe others are wondering this too, or they already know the explaination to it and I’m just an idiot. You can also roll your eyes about this, thinking I’m overthinking something that does not matter at all. But hear me out. I love the Archives and what it do

  • With the next chapter confirmed to be licensed once again we the community are only just starting to run up the speculation cycle once more, about who could possibly make it into Dead By Daylight's amalgamation of horror. However, it got me thinking about the vice versa, what original Dead By Daylight characters could you see appearing and fitting into the movies / games / shows it pulls from?

  • A recent skin in the shop was released going by the names of Graff-Crafter. According to the picture that was released from the skin, she's from 2021 (presuming November 3rd but it may be March 11th). Does this mean Nea was taken from the future, or am I completely wrong?

  • So I've been having an argument with Orion about the Nurse having schizophrenia or PTSD. I strongly believe she has PTSD from what the devs have written in her Lore, but he thinks she has schizophrenia. I'd like to know the community's opinion on this subject.

  • Headless Horseman Power- Trusted Steed •Tap or hold the power button to launch a fiery Jack O lantern. On contact, the Jack O Lantern will explode and put the survivor in a mending state only within a close proximity. Every hit from a Jack O Lantern will fill up the Horseman’s gauge which when full, will allow the Horseman’s to call upon his Trusted Steed (Daredevil). •While riding Daredev

  • Ok so I know this is a bit out there, and this is the first time I've mad a theory like this so please don't shoot me down too hard. But from what I've gathered when it comes to the Entity, as powerful as he is, he isn't omnipotent, he only controls those within his pocket dimension, however he is meant to have total control. Now hear me out, I believe that while the entity was able to entice Py

  • I’ve seen a couple of forum posts about this, but those were from 2018. The purpose of this post is that I want to establish a time period of when the original characters came to the entity’s realm. I have a pretty good idea of 3, those being Deathslinger, Oni, and Plague. Deathslinger certainly seems to have been taken from the late 1800s, Oni from the late 1700s-early 1800s, and Plague around 2

  • Looking to some of the entries of the tomes, I found a small, perhaps a bit obvious discovery that shed some light on the workings of the Killers and their relationship with the Entity. As the tittle indicates, is about Auric Cells, the main component of the Entity and what allows it to manipulate and shape the world around it, but there are those with the right knowdlege and skill that can manip

  • Ive noticed this seems to be a rising problem in DBD, i unhooked someone in the basement and the killer started coming back so i hid in a locker. but instead of hiding or trying to escape the other survivor came over to the locker and started pointing me out getting me hooked, i didnt understand as i healed him as well. this has not just happened in lockers ive been in a chase after unhooking som

  • WHILE READING DBD LORE, ONE MIGHT THINK IT'S BLAND. BUT WHY? I'll be honest here, I know a good bit of Dbd lore, but not everything. I still feel confident and competent enough to talk about it and its current state. It might be bland, even boring, but why is that? I believe it is because the stories/bios are sort of short, uninteresting. They give us the general background and the reason t

  • I was creating the Plague's page on the Portuguese DBD Wiki and was wondering what did the Plague actually say during her Mori Animation. So I gave a bit of an effort and ''figured out'' what she says. As the devs denied giving me any information, I'm not 100% convinced what I found is right. What I found is: Adda ni ka dingir asar ku me Adda ni ka dingir means "Send him to your mouth, God". T

  • Just curious, does anybody know what The Plague is saying when stunned? Or is it just gibberish? I know her mori is something like "drink from a 1,000 fountains" etc. but I don't know about the stuns. Babylonian swears maybe?

  • So, we're obviously acquainted with the crows but... what about the rats? Anyone else spot more examples of The Entity creating other forms of life within her realm? What purpose do they serve? Can they be a food source for those trapped here? I doubt they're normal considering the eyes.

  • So in the recent archives it's come to light Kate has scraped by with the Entity, and one of her cosmetics suggest that she didn't get out of that encounter. But under the assumption she kept going, who was taken in Kate's place? The entity needs hope, so what chapter happened in her place (not counting the original 4 or liscensed characters)

  • This might seem like a really self-explanatory question but it got me interested and thinking. After doing some research, I found out that furies, also known as 'Erinyes' were female chthonic deities of vengeance in ancient Greek religion and mythology. A formulaic oath in the lliad invokes them as "the Erinyes, that under earth take vengeance on men, whosoever hath sworn a false oath". We know

  • The Dying Light Chapter Important side note: The Killer is actually based off of the playable "Night Hunter" from the "Be the zombie" mode, not the volatile enemy type. I call the killer The Volatile because I think it sounds like a cooler, more unique name than Night Hunter. Also, the appearance of The Volatile killer is a mash of the volatile enemy and the Night Hunter. Confusing, I know, but

  • This latest Chapter has made me wonder about the ever-expanding influence The Entity has, and its daring intrusions - not only into other dimensions, but dimensions ruled by powerful, deity-like beings. The Stranger Things Chapter was the start, as The Entity delved into the world of The Mind Flayer, and now it's infiltrated the the realm of The Sun Goddess of Silent Hill. Not sure about The Dem

  • I have always wondered how the developers came up with the idea of the entity's realm or the lore of the game, but recently I came across something. Okay, so the entity's realm isn't on earth and is in an entirely different realm, it might even take place in your mind, but there are consequences. This concept is similar to going todash in the dark tower series. In todash you can travel to a place

  • What is a loadout he would think fits a survivors personality or way they won't interact with other people lorewise. Conditions 1) It doesn't have to be all their teachable perks as long as it's a build that fits their personality and lore that we have gotten about them 2) The Perk cannot contradict anything we know about them from lore.
