One night, Lyra casually mentions Dust this puts Mrs. Despite initially projecting the image of a free-spirited woman, she reveals herself to be extremely respectful of the Magisterium and its function. She does not know what to make of her observation, however, and says nothing of it to Mrs. In her bedroom, Lyra gazes upon the alethiometer and notices that it continuously points to a lady, a lightning bolt and a baby. Coulter takes Lyra into her home, in a big city that resembles a retrofuturisticLondon, and starts taking her to socialite dinners and parties. The college gives Asriel a grant to fund another expedition that could lead to the discovery of the infinite worlds linked by Dust, thus severely undermining the Magisterium's hold on the world. Lyra warns her uncle, saving his life then she watches Asriel give a presentation regarding his findings on the North Pole, where he was able to prove the Dust's existence. When Asriel returns from his latest expedition, Lyra and her dæmon Pantalaimon (Freddie Highmore) witness a Magisterium agent poison his wine. Lyra Belacqua (Dakota Blue Richards) is an orphan raised at Jordan College in Oxford, while her uncle, esteemed explorer and scholar Lord Asriel (Daniel Craig), is busy seeking the elusive Dust, a cosmic particle of which the Magisterium has forbidden even the mention. At present, poor, orphan and Gyptian children are disappearing at the hands of a group that the children call the Gobblers. The story takes place in an alternate world dominated by a powerful church called the Magisterium, and where part of the spirit resides outside a person as an animal companion called a dæmon.
