Prior to the events of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, a technologically advance group thrived in the Lanayru region, which was at the time, a lush coast on the seaside. For reasons unknown, that civilization collapsed. During the Era of the Goddess Hylia, the region underwent rapid desertification and it is widely speculated that the collapse of the ancient civilization and the desertification of the region are correlated[1].
Technological Achievements
Though the full scope of the achievements of the ancient lost civilization are unknown, evidence of their capabilities remained into the region through the Sky Era in the form of the Ancient Robots. Within the Lanayru Mining Facility, evidence of their abilities to craft defensive technology can be observed as well, with Beamos, Sentrobes, and Armos scattered throughout the complex[2]. Based on the remains of the civilization, it would appear that the region was used purely for its resources and less as a domesticated agricultural holding.
