The Kingdom of Sorrow, also known as Hyuponia, is the forgotten kingdom in Lunatea where the King of Sorrow resides in Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil.
Description
Hyuponia, the Kingdom of Sorrow, is hidden deep under the Sea of Tears. There are many tall buildings, and a large palace suspended in the air, presumably the residence of the King of Sorrow. There is also an area called the Forgotten Path, which is located in a mysterious, shadowy void of the kingdom and leads up to the King's palace, the Terminus of Tears.
Inhabitants
No native inhabitants were shown to live in this kingdom, except for the King of Sorrow. It may have once been the home of cat-like people with large ears and a fur body whom resembled the King of Sorrow.
Story
To the Kingdom of Sorrow
Although Klonoa and friends were able to destroy the Ishras Ark's engines, they failed to stop it from opening a path to the Kingdom of Sorrow. They entered the Kingdom and wondered if they were too late, but Leorina informed them that they could still prevent sorrow from consuming the world if they defeat the King of Sorrow. Klonoa, Lolo, Popka journeyed through the Kingdom and eventually reach the Forgotten Path.
Trivia
- Traces of various music from Door to Phantomile can be heard throughout the soundtrack of the level in the Kingdom of Sorrow, "Lolo", "Granpa's Theme", "Windmill Song", and the "Song of Rebirth" are four of the songs briefly heard in the music. [1]
- If the music to this level is played backwards, the theme of cursed Leorina can be heard.
- Hyuponia may be named after Huepow, the a character from Door to Phantomile.
- It is possible the King of Sorrow doesn't die, but is, in fact, the element itself, as the cutscene shows the king disappearing and the element in its stead.
- In the credits, a baby that appears to be of the same race as the King of Sorrow is shown to have been born. This would imply that the race of people from Hyuponia had not completely died out but may have abandoned their home for Lunatea or were simply living in seclusion within the kingdom offscreen.
