Welcome to Archives of Lothen!
Hello! My name is Mari Moon, and I'm the author of Archives of Lothen.
Archives of Lothen is an original epic fantasy series in a theocratic, post-biopunk setting intended for eventual publication. All excepts and information shared here should be considered as draft or work-in-progress and may be revised or deleted at any time.
I created Lothen in January 2021 as a Zelda: Breath of the Wild AU called "Hyrule's Final Stand." The first entry was a fanfiction called Trial of the Zora Armor, and I expected to write one, maybe two stories in the world before calling it done. By 2025, this world had grown way beyond its Zelda roots and held much more that just that one story with it. After heavy consideration, the decision was made to strip the Zelda fandom label from the world and Archives of Lothen was born!
Although Lothen originated as a The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild alternate universe, it has since been fully re-developed into an original setting. All characters, cultures, histories, and narratives presented here are original works. No affiliation with Nintendo or The Legend of Zelda franchise is claimed or implied.
