Changes: Bible

Latest revision as of 02:02, 3 October 2019

The subject of this article is a creative work that has been mentioned "in-universe" in a canon source. The HDM Wiki is written from the perspective that all information presented in canon is true (e.g. Lyra's world really exists); as such, details contained in this article may differ from real world facts.

The Bible was the book of the Holy Church. Lord Asriel's bible was a big, black book and contained the first words about Dust, which fell when Adam and Eve ate the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden, towards the end of the Third Chapter of Genesis which is why the particles are known as Dust.^[1] Malcolm Polstead said that the letter he found inside the acorn was written on thin India paper, like the paper bibles were printed on.^[2]

"for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return"
