Maybe not Hydaelyn, but what about Meracydia's interpretation of Azeyma at the time, instead? A bit of a stretch, but here goes:
1.Azeyma temple of Qarn had Scale and in Sophia's battle she has a scale and talks her lyrics mention balance and equilibrium

2. Speaking of balance, the AST balance card is that of Azeyma:

which looks very similar to Sophias artwork

and the "wings" that the head has.
Additionally, real-life depiction of Goddess sophia depicts her as having a scepter or fan? (similar to The Warden boss of Qarn) and a Rose (of which Azeyma hasa rose named after her)

3. The Orb Sophia has can double as Azeyma's sun symbol as well as her "Halo"

So those adds we see could very well be Meracydians that once worshiped her. Even the sun deity in Au Ra (Azim) mythology is hinted by Oda-san to be Azeyma. Lastly even Azeyma is based on the arabic(?) word of Azim

I doubt we'll get any info until the Lore book is out though.
