Locations of the Five Hallownest Knights In-Game?
Through extra dialogue via Nailmaster Sheo and the White Lady, we know that the names of the five knights are Hegemol, Drya, Isma, Ze'mer, and Ogrim. Has anyone been able to pinpoint the locations of all five Knights within the game? Here are some guesses at their locations:

Definite locations:
Ogrim = Dung Defender
Drya = body outside White Lady's "prison"

Uncertain locations:
Isma = body in Isma's Grove gives Isma's Tear?
Hegemol = body that you Dream Nail to access White Palace in Palace Grounds? (one of models Nailmaster Sheo and the Nailsmith work on looks like it)
Ze'mer = Grey Mourner? (has "le'mer" in dialogue and there's a broken nail sitting in the room)

Hegemol or Ze'mer could also be the owner of the False Knight armor, in which case their body might not be anywhere in-game.

Ok, im going to clear it up, Ze'mer is indeed the grey mourner, it probably means "me" since le'mer means "you" or something like that. She was supposed to fall in love with the mantis traitor lords child and this is speculation but there may have been a fight between the knights and the traitor mantis who tried to inject the infection in themselves to oveecome the knights power.

Isma is definitely the one on ismas grove, if you dream nail her you can discover she has some sort of relationship with orgrim (dung defender)

Hegemol is for sure the other owner of false knights armor, he also probably had the duty of defending the city since his statue is guarding the door.

OK then, that sounds pretty definitive. Thanks for the info!

It does make me wonder though, who is the model on the right that Nailmaster Sheo and the Nailsmith are working on? I'm fairly certain the left one is the Dung Defender, but the right one looked like one of the White Palace knights to me (hence my confusion as to who Hegemol is):

Ogrim = Dung Defender
Dryya = Corpse in front of white lady's lair
Ze'Mer = Grey Mourner (once you have King's brand, she will tell you about it)
Isma = Corpse in her grove
Hegemol = Herrah the Beast (ingame text file entry for her dialogues are marked as Hegemol_sth)

So you can bring death to at least 1 of them.

Kingsmoulds are not any of knights since they're made from the void, harnessed to their forms by the Pale King. You can find King's workshop where they are made in White Palace.

I don't care what the in game files say, Herrah is not Hegemol. I suppose Hegemol might have been her first mate that the mushrooms mention who was supposed to be a knight or noble of some sort, but it sure as hell isn't Herrah.

Also, Isma isn't a corpse, she's a plant. Not sure how she was turned into a plant, but she's a plant. That's why her tear is a fruit. That's not a carving in a living plant to mark her grave, that's just her.

I don't think I found any corpse at Isma's Grove except for the enemies I killed, tho.

The mushrooms mention Herrah? Is this part of the Mr. Mushroom quest?

Equip the Spore Shroom and wander around the Fungal Wastes. There are four hidden mushroom totems that reveal lore relating to the mushrooms. Herrah is mentioned by one of the four.

The exact quote is: "This border bounds the twisting, scratching things. Their dead sire, once of honoured caste. Their sealed mother, but the common beast. No peace with them we make."

I just now remembered the "statue" that holds the basin from which you get Shade Cloak. If you try to Dream Nail it, it is protected by the same thing the Kingsmould is. You can come back with the Awakened Dream Nail and do it again, but I forget what it says. Might it be related?

After circling through Fungal Wastes, I've found three of the mushroom totems:
  • Halfway betweeen the charm notch mini-boss and Queen's Station
  • Near the Queen's Gardens/Deepnest entrances (this is the one that has the quote)
  • Fungal Core

Could you perhaps give a general idea of where to search for the fourth one?

There's one behind a false ceiling that you can get through in the upper left corner of one of the right rooms

It says "...Void... Power... Without unity..."
