Timeline

This is a timeline of the major events of Sult, the world of The Last Sovereign, both before and during the plot of the game. As the game itself provides very few explicit dates, most of the dates are based on conjecture, interpretation, and information provided by the author outside the game, but the broad strokes of the in game chronology have been confirmed.

Dates are given in AE for Arclent Era, per Sierra Lee's definition. Cultures other than the human nations on that continent may use other calendar systems. All birth dates are taken from the ages on the wiki pages, with the ages presumed to be the age when they are first met by the party in game (Allowing some wiggle room as to what the date of the first meeting is). Also note that

“	Birthdays aren't generally celebrated on Arclent, sorry. Though they do have a good calendar system, not everyone even keeps perfect track of when they were born.	”
	— Sierra Lee

It should go without saying, but beware of EXTREME SPOILERS.

Before Arclent Era

??? BAE/"Time Out of Mind"

• "There was an era... a truly long time ago... when all the divine shards were one, and there was only a single deity." There was apparently also a single unified Incubus King or Lustlord at this time. "When the two powers shattered one another, each broke into seven great pieces."
• The dynamic of Incubus Kings and goddesses has been going on as far back as the memory of the oldest of the goddesses, Tertia, extends. "There have been eras of unified shards and eras when they are sundered into a thousand fragments. At times seven goddesses did battle against seven Incubus Kings. At times there was no symmetry or order."
• This process appears to have extended enough into deep time for noticeable evolutionary and geological change to have taken place. It is unclear to what extent the races presently inhabiting the game world have changed through this prehistory, or whether they share one or more common ancestor species.
• Humans spread to all three of the continents some time in the remote past.
• Succubi and Orcs also colonize all three continents.
• Elves speaking Proto-Storgan spread from the region of Ghenalon in Thenours to occupy the forests of Southeastern Arclent, founding Darghelon and Gheldaron.
• Dwarves, having previously colonized at least Thenours and Arclent, begin the process of isolating themselves into small centers of population in mountain kingdoms/mining colonies, such as Vestrin, Eustrin in Arclent, and Suorin in Thenours. Eustrin is founded "for the protection of the Dwarven people".
• Halflings spread at least to Arclent and Thenours.
• Zirantians spread to all three continents from an ancestral homeland called "Zirantia". It is unclear if this area coincided with the current nation of Zirantia.
• At some time before reliably recorded history, nearly all of the Incubus Kings' shards were united in a "base and venal" single holder, who appears to have been the historical Lustlord now worshiped as a deity by many succubi (not the contemporary Lustlord of Rodak or the later "partial Lustlord" who enslaved and abused Mithyn). This individual was killed and the shards divided again.
• The goddess of "Wind and Wild" withdraws to a remote part of the Tower, creating the Deepwilds Shrine, where she eventually wills herself to cease existing.
• Ivala, Zelica and Mithyn, Goddess of Magic, acquire divine shards and become goddesses.
• The goddess Tertia of the dwarves withdraws to a different remote part of the Tower, no longer interacting with her worshipers. They believe that she died.
• An ancient Incubus King (not the Incubus King) ruled in present day Zirantia.
• Zirantian led monarchy in a cultural successor to the Incubus King ruled state in present day Zirantia.
• At the ending of the previous "era", a "partial Lustlord" enslaved the goddess Mithyn for decades. It is unclear if this partial Lustlord is the Incubus King whose overthrow marked the beginning of the Arclent Era.
• At some undetermined time before the 1^st Arclent War, Tanurak and Ulrissa become powerful Tower walkers. Tanurak was "a monster who revels in suffering", and, on a whim, precipitated the extinction of the race of dragons by "twisting the fundamental magical particles they needed to feed on to survive". Ulrissa defeated and then mostly destroyed Tanurak, and then took steps to make herself magically neutral and unable to affect the world.

Early Arclent Era

1 AE

• The fall of an ancient Incubus King's empire in Arclent. Orcs and Succubi seem to be largely eliminated from Arclent between this period and the invasion of the Incubus King.
• Beginning of Arclent Era.
• Approximate time of the founding of the Church of Ivala, with some revelation by Ivala to her priestesses at the town of Gawnfall. At least some Ivalan texts are adapted from originals from Thenours. Official Ivalan histories of this time are inaccurate.

??? AE

• At some stage in this period, Ghenalon emerges as a multi-racial state under the political domination of elves.
• At some point, the nations of Arclent lose trade and communications with Thenours, and knowledge of the continent is forgotten completely, at least among the human nations.
• The Lustlord becomes a shard-holder, and takes control of the nation of Rodak, either at the time he first becomes an Incubus King or after the battle with the abomination when he obtained a larger shard.
• Arclentian "Feudal Era". Prior to the emergence of strong nation states in the 1^st Arclent War, there is a more decentralized political system, with the Church of Ivala having political control over their own capital city and limited territorial and military holdings throughout the human and Western Elven nations of Arclent. Some of this local political and military control persists through the 2^nd Arclent War, most notably in Feroholm and Stineford.
• At some point in this era, some of the human nations of Arclent fought a series of "Elven Wars" against the elven nations. Elves were considered to be "barbaric" by the human nations, but it is unclear if this has any bearing on the level of technological development of the two societies or if it was just prejudice. This appears to have coincided with the expansion of elves from the region of Darghelon and Gheldaron to the rest of Arclent.
• 1^st Arclent War ("Foundation War" in Ardoheim.)
• Formation of Ardoheim, Aram, and Givini as states.

• Within 40 years of the battle in which The Lustlord gained his second shard, Esthera kills the Incubus King she had been serving, and uses deep magic in the Tower to absorb his soul shard. This leads to the formation of the Orgasmic Empire in Renthnor.
• Loss of the Dwarren Kingdom of Vestrin. The royal family of Vestrin continues to be extant in Eustrin.

They rescue some of the remnants of Ginasta's resistance movement, take many prisoners, and defeat large numbers of the Fucklord's elite MWAF forces. As they prepare to launch an offensive to capture Kyangen and shut down the sexual suppression spell, the Fucklord attacks personally, causing many casualties among the army's orcs until he is confronted by the Doom King. Simon and the rest of Hilstara's party come to the Doom King's assistance, and drive the Fucklord off. He retreats to his palace where he is confronted there by both the Lustlord and Esthera. The Fucklord sends a crazed Ginasta to attack the other Incubi, then withdraws to a prepared hiding place in Zirantia.
• Riala, Yarra, Aka, and Vhala begin to covertly infiltrate the Tower defenses near the Fucklord's palace. They find his harem there. Later, with Simon's assistance, they fully compromise these defenses.
• Concurrently, the Lustlord mobilizes Rodak's military to attempt an invasion of Ghenalon while both the Fucklord and the Doom King are busy fighting each other. Simon covertly sends the auxiliaries to fight on behalf of Ghenalon.
• Ulrissa contacts Simon to request his assistance in preventing the return of Tanurak, a powerful former Tower Walker whom she had previously mostly killed. Simon takes Riala, Yarra, and possibly Robin to Tower near Tak'Kan, to make preparations to destroy Tanurak when he re-emerges.
• Nalili escorts Orilise to the Elven Kingdoms in order to investigate the activities of the Mother and her guard in relation to the ongoing conflict. After an initial violent confrontation, they convince the leader of the local Mother's Guard to explain their goddess's intentions. Janine arrives via sirship and a diplomatic conference takes place with Queens Eytria and Dheria on religious and trade policy.
• Orcent and Iris direct the battlefronts from the Tower, deal with a counter-attack on Yhilin and HQ, and are puzzled by the appearance of another group of demons, which doesn't actually attack.
• Hilstara's team continues to direct the ground invasion of Erosia, continuing the offensive towards Kyangen. The sexual suppression spell is isolated to a shrine within the Forest of Flickering Leaves, protected by the last of Erosia's elite units. Riala, Robin, and Vhala join Hilstara's group to fight their way into the spell. After a difficult battle, they plan to wait to destroy the spell in order to allow the Doom King to absorb the sexual magic backlash and prevent Erosia from degenerating into a countrywide orgy. The mysterious Tower Walker known as Lilith then appears, and destroys the spell. Erosia degenerates into a countrywide orgy. The remaining Erosian military units stand down.
• Uyae takes Varia, Wynn, and possibly Altina to investigate the Fucklord's influence in Zirantia. They discover that the goddess Antiala is directing the Divine Claw to take actions that are not in the best interests of the people of Zirantia. Wynn concludes that the divine magic aspect of Antiala's messages is inconsistent with her being a genuine goddess. Uyae's group infiltrates the Zirantian palace, joined by Robin, where they discover that the Fucklord has utilized a soulmage with a power similar to Trin's to infiltrate the Divine Claw with duplicates and undermine the Zirantian state. Trin and Robin arrive to help defeat the soulmage, and they all proceed to confront the Fucklord in the royal apartments. King Kanfuor of Zirantia is revealed to have been a Tower Walker, and Antiala was magical construct he used to deceive and control the Zirantian people. The Fucklord has killed Kanfuor, and sends Tower Elites to occupy the group while he announces to the world via magical broadcast that he has raped and killed Antiala, intending to use the magical energy from the doubt and fear this causes to gain more power, and then attacks Uyae's party. Ulrissa asks Simon to ignore the danger to Uyae and her companions in order to confront and destroy Tanurak, but Simon refuses to do so. The Fucklord is attacked by the Doom King, and this confrontation dissipates all of the power both had gained from the announcement and the Erosian orgy. Uyae's group remains in Zirantia to help deal with the state of emergency there.
• The disturbances in the Tower caused by the Fucklord's announcement and his confrontation with the Doom King allow Tanurak to manifest himself once again near the Bloody Spire in Tak'Kan. He unsuccessfully attempts to sow hatred between Yarra and Aka, and interferes with the Lustlord's attempt to flee from the confrontation with Esthera and Ginasta by diverting his teleport to the western sector of the battlefront between Rodak and Ghenalon, transporting Esthera and Ginasta there as well, greatly increasing the chaos in that region. Tanurak is then confronted and banished from the Tower near Ghenalon by the Great Sage of Ghenalon.

These orcs are lured into an ambush and defeated by the Ghenalese temporarily disabling their magical defenses as bait. During this fight, Mestan is confronted by Lilith, who appears to have some relationship to him.

On his defeat, he uses a spell to destroy his body and shatters his shard into many pieces, scattering them all over the world. His soul is captured in the Tower by the Destructive Entity, who ensures he is totally destroyed.
• End of the Great Thenoursan War. The Doom King frees the late Fucklord's harem from his sexual magic, and restores Sabitha to normal as well. The party spends some time making investments before pursuing a lead that Ulrissa gives them on the location of a divine shard.

Chapter 5

1158 AE Spring

• After about 3 months of preparation, the party visit an area of the Tower labeled the "Deepwilds Shrine", which has a partly static nature and may be the tomb of a forgotten divinity. They acquire a divine shard large enough to render perhaps 12 individuals immortal, which they place under the protection of the Destructive Entity, who takes a fragment to help begin construction of a new body.
• During that excursion, a being claiming to be Ivala announces her existence to all Ivalans on Arclent by magical message. She reveals the existence of the "Crystal of Ivala" in Ardford, claiming that all who touch it will be healed of all disease. Afterward Arclentians can receive a sense of reassurance proportional to their faith in Ivala, while any splinter factions of the Church receive messages encouraging them to follow Ardford's leadership. The party determine that the message is likely to be faked, and trace its most likely origin to Stineford.

1158 AE Summer

• The party returns to Stineford to investigate the patterns of divine magic there, negotiate with the Duke of Stineford and the High Priestess Annah, and eliminate a newly appeared Incubus King.
• The party returns to Eustrin after detecting faint magical traces of a goddess there, and to assist Queen Neranda with her political issues with Aram. After delving deeply into the Tower near Eustrin, they discover that the reports of Tertia's death have been greatly exaggerated. Neranda convinces the goddess to assist the party.
• Coincident with the party searching for divine shards, Tanurak massively interferes with the Tower. Sabitha arrives to assist the party with the crisis and they seek out Ulrissa, who apprises them that the Lustlord is doing something massive and unsubtle in the Tower that Tanurak is trying to exploit. The party mounts a secret raid into the Lustlord's Tower Fortress, and they learn that he has captured Ginasta and is interrogating and torturing her. When the Lustlord leaves Ginasta alone for a while, Tanurak attempts to subvert her. Mestan, who has acquired an incubus shard, appears to protect her and Lilith, who created Mestan as an extension of herself, appears to attempt to absorb him. The party intercedes in the battle and rescues Ginasta before the Lustlord can return. Ginasta and Simon agree to a platonic relationship and she joins the party.
• The Lustlord visits the Doom King and requests that another Gathering of Kings be held. Esthera volunteers to host it.
