Universe (Total War)



The universe, also known as the cosmos is the main setting of Hyrule: Total War, in which all missions take place.

Overview
The universe is a vast expanse of seemingly infinite space, consisting of stars orbited by various planetary bodies, as well as smaller bodies such as comets and meteors. Titanic clouds known as nebulae can also be observed by the naked eye in Hyrule's night sky. Many of the planetary bodies in space are host to both sapient and non-sapient life, though it's impossible to deduce how common such life is. Worlds which are host to intelligent life are also host to seemingly supernatural manifestations known as Triforces. Triforces absorb the souls of perished beings in their host world, proverbially acting as a yolk inside of an eggshell. Upon acquiring enough souls, their collective unconscious transforms into an ego, and the world itself becomes body to a new god. Depending on its relationship with the Creator, the resulting god becomes subject entirely either to its id or superego.

History
The universe and its planets formed shortly after the schism of the Creator, which resulted in his fragmentation into Satori and Majora, and created Malice as the first sin.

Due to the influence of Majora, many worlds fell to the increasing presence of Druthulidi. At least five of them fell during their creation, and Dethl is said to have drowned countless worlds in their nightmares. The Druthulidi Bellum eventually consumed the world of the Parella before being led to the homeworld of Zora, and later the Realm of Twilight.

Due to the opening of a portal between the Realm of Twilight and Hyrule, the former was able to connect to the latter and send its souls to its Triforce. In addition, it was able to remain habitable, though it's unclear whether this is because of Hyrule's influence or Bellum simply not eating everything.
