Board Thread:The Last Sovereign Discussion/@comment-25941257-20170924103337/@comment-33178212-20170924214935

Just to divert away from the current discussion for a bit, but there are some major things I think need to be discussed. First is that replaying the game I found something interesting. Midway through the first chapter, Carina mentions that Sarai isn't actually a high priestess in charge of Yhilin, she just became the de facto leader there since Andra didn't like the secular nature of the city. Sarai's real title is "High Priestess of the Lost." She is 'in charge' of all land over taken by the incubus king. (It explains how someone as generally uncorrupt and not heavy into the political side of the church attained "High Priestess" status, the title was essentially a joke or dead end to keep her out of the way since nothing could be really done in that area)... but now the incubus king is gone and Sarai went from managing a city to managing half a continent. I really hope this means Sarai gets some real time in the spot light.

The second thing is more of just a little theory that doesn't have much to go on but when confronting the Incubus King, he has a few moments of almost sanity, and in one of those he says, "-You think any of this even matters-". That sounds very close to some of what King Alonon is saying, that reality is pointless. I'm thinking that maybe somehow, the Incubus King learned the same (Truth)) but the Incubus King obviously did not receive the same powers. Maybe the same (Truth) that turned the once proud King into a completely apathetic ruler, turned the already perverted fresh Incubus King into a monster, who sought only his own pleasure and hedonistic values. If "reality doesn't matter" then he shouldn't care how cruel he is to the succubus and others, as long as he gains his own personal satisfaction.

The third thing that I haven't seen enough talk about(though I may have missed it) are the "Gold Shards" that Riala showed Simon at the end of Chapter 3. Those "Gold Shards" for lack of the better name must be Goddess shards. Every thing seems to fit, the gold Shards are only compatible with women, hence why there are Exclusively Female Goddesses in all cultures.-- Sipping from the shard granted Riala extra life, much like the Incubus shard they seem to increase longevity and explains how the goddesses are still alive. And finally it explains why every time Simon's soul is analyzed  it is described as so "completely opposite of Ivala" because there shards are the counter balance of each other. But my main question is what do you think will be done with the shard Rilia already found, will it be used to somehow increase Succubus Lives, or will someone we know actually take it and try to ascend to God-hood?

And finally I want to talk about the title itself, "The Last Sovereign." I've never really put much thought about it, but what does it mean. The last, Sovereign, meaning the last complete absolute leader. That sounds a bit like Ginasta philosophy death to all tyrants, but that cant be what it means, I can't imagine Simon dethroning all rulers,until just he remains as the "Final Sovereign." And i don't think it means Simon will be the last Incubus king either, even if he did manage to kill all the others, would he really have that power destroyed. He of all people should know that the shards power is just that power, as evil as a throne it simply depends on who has the power and who wields it could be used for both good and evil. I really have no theories or any explanations for this.
