I’m not as into BOTW as I used to be, but I’ve been thinking about the place of Dust in my daemon AU

The Golden Goddesses, and Hylia, are all beings made out of Dust- p much like the angels in HDM.

Din, Nayru and Farore helped direct the early world, encouraging the evolution of sentient species and helping them where they could. However, they ended up encouraging dangerous experiments with the fabric of reality and Demise came into being.

Hylia showed up around then, created by the Goddesses to from Dust to fight the nothingness. Around the same time daemons showed up and the other Goddesses stopped communicating entirely. They’re believed to have left the world of Hyrule to find a way to end the draining of Dust for once and for all. Meanwhile, Hylia and her chosen Hero battle Ganon in an endless cycle so Dust doesn’t end up being utterly sucked away.

Alethiometers exist; they’re used by fortune tellers and scholars to learn secret truths and prophecies. The prophecy Rhoam heard from the fortune teller was gleaned from an alethiometer. Unfortunately the fortune teller couldn’t figure out everything it was trying to tell him, which might’ve lessened the blow of the Calamity 100 years ago, or prevented it entirely.
