Quote from: "AlphaRed9X"I've been thinking of something similar to that for a while; that maybe the King of Sorrow is Huepow as he appears in Lunatea. I think that Huepow felt guilty for having used Klonoa, to the point where he may have isolated himself, thus appearing in Lunatea as the King of Sorrow 
The way my theory went is that after Klonoa was removed from Phantomile, Huepow become depressed and guilt-ridden after what he had done. Eventually, as he was prince of Cress, the Moon Kingdom, he became the king. However, his guilt still existed during his rule, and it was harming the kingdom. It got to the point where the prism, the crystalline structure that converts the dream of the people of Phantomile into dream energy, either stopped working or was damaged beyond repair.
As Phantomile's existence was dependent on the dream energy to power it, the sudden lack of fuel caused Phantomile to wither away. What you see in the World of Sorrow, that dry barren wasteland, is what Phantomile became after it and its inhabitants simply faded. Cress, now powerless, crashed into the ground and embedded itself into the earth, slanted and without any life. The illusion is completely gone.
Huepow was the last one to fade away as the world around him disappeared. As he too vanished, the last thing on his mind was the one friend he had, who he simply used for the good of Phantomile. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to remember him very well, and the remorse in his heart had corrupted that image of Klonoa.
Despite this, Huepow's sorrow was so great, that he didn't fade away entirely. There was something left in his place, a culmination of painful feelings and emotions. It was a lump of sorrow, and it took form from that twisted image of Klonoa that was on Huepow's mind.
