Board Thread:The Last Sovereign Discussion/@comment-29984007-20180115083425

obvious disclaimer: this thread is focused on the things one can find in the game files, but they aren't used in the game 'yet' and the successive speculation over it. SL is well aware of the 'habit' of certain people (not me for sure...) to put their nose in unwanted places. she has filled them with a good number of fakes and jokes (this is for example the image labeled 'ivala'), so be warned the thread contains some massive spoiler of future event and there is the certainty of a good chunk of it is fake or misguided.

starting with the new headquarters; a host of juicy switches and parameters.

there are three switches (2313, 2314, 2315) already labeled "??? join", just after (2312) "Wynn joined". in the magic lab (second floor) there is a place for Wynn (her table with pentagram and skulls, plus the wendis portrait if simon gave it to her during the 3AW) and two more for undetermined people (2313, 2315), the first is an alchemical table and the other a dun dark pink floating crystal. Wynn's table and the alchemical one are placed at the top of the room, the crystal on the right wall near the teleportation flame.

the crystal can be a fake (it can be another table in a different place or the switches aren't linked to a magical user), but the alchemical table I think is real. the only alchemist of note we know is the potion hermit in the elven forest, but I find highly improbable can be her (and we still don't know the use of the gray lotus obtained with the kingsfail leafs exchange, and items like this gave a minor effect but it usually one shot chance to obtain) so? the guessing go rampant, but my idea is on a not-arclent person [but you can find him/her in arclent]. if the crystal is trustworthy the color should be a sexual magic infuse crystal (TLS convention withe/purple for arcane magic and blue for divine, usually) another succubus? my (very) long shot is esthera [she understand, for sure, sexual magic to an impossible level, even if only for the shard she carried]

the library had all the shelves setup to be filled, the 23 individual bookcases [5 in the restricted section, 18 the 'normal' one, for sake of simplicity, I labeled with number from 1 to 23 right - left, top - bottom order] six [6] are filled by default (1 "restricted", 6 "for reference", 7 "robin books, 12 "divine books", 15 "orilise magic books", 21 "iris salvage"), a few [3] shelves are tied to the presence of specific person in the HQ with a well know name in the switch (8 "altina", 14 "sarai", 22 "elleani"), some [6] are related to the maxed RP status (2 "Robin", 3 "Riala", 13 "carina", 16 "orilise", 18 "megail", 23 "Elleani"), another number of books [3] are gathered trough trip, investment and side quest (09 "orilise library", 11 "side quest books", 19 "ghenalese books"), this leaves some [5] with a total generic switch called "???"

the understandable pattern from the library is

restricted section [1-2-3-4-5]: high end knowledge first row: left side [6-7-8]: common book | right side [9-10-11]: minor quest/investment

second row: left side [12-13-14]: religious books | right side [15-16-17]: orilise (elven?) section

third row: left side [18-19-20]: misc? dunno :-/ | right side [21-22-23]: ~ succubus source

the switches for wynn join&maxed rp are already named and placed, but she doesn't add any book? strange, but the presence of elleani switch point in this direction.

the five dialogue for the missing shelfs are


 * [#04] swich 2350 -> ??? -> dialogue: "Ah, the spoils of war. I shall enjoy these greatly."


 * [#05] swich 2351 -> ??? -> dialogue: "These are books."


 * [#10] swich 2343 -> ??? -> dialogue: "lolspoilers"


 * [#17] swich 2346 -> ??? -> dialogue: "Given the way he was, I'm surprised he did so much reading..."


 * [#20] swich 2349 -> ??? -> dialogue: "I was pretty surprised to see you literally pull these out of your ass, but okay."

all five are at high risk to be utterly false, but my guessing is: the third and five are useless, the second can be a max rp threshold, my speculation is for the first the result of a conflict with the lustlord and the four the result of storming the fucklord's stronghold.

notable in the courtyard script dedicated to check the RP for unlocking the synergy skill there a to cap the value to 100 is any of the combat-oriented party member had surpassed the mark and there is between vhala and uyae a "ginasta RP" check and cap. the absence of any other non-combat harem member is pretty clear about the role of ginasta in the party, but she can be, or can be not a harem member (I am for the yes ship)

in the RP value list after the all the names chronological placed (from aka to iris), with the current affection title the game had one entry labeled "W", five empty slot and mestan, neranda, "F", "S", "L", the first isn't wynn because her rep are stored in the value 0141 and the 0142 is used for her affection title, same for sarai (0119/0120), the four values aren't set in my save, the likelihood to be a red herring is at leas 75%, but if not the four will be? the "L" can be the menacing "lilith", name founded both in the skill list (at the top of empty block) and an image in the game (a red eye brat)? the name is usually (but not always) associated with demons of varied origin [I have zero idea on the other, but I discard fheliel, because we had some interaction and not even a slightest RP change, unlike for example with vhala, it should be already happens]

another good source of speculation is the harem screen. 0.31.4 the panel feature 12 combat-able member, 7 non-combat, 7 leader and 6 other. the filled space are combat: 9, non combat: 4, leader: 2, other: none, the place in the list is roughly the chronological meet with simon (carina and riala are a deviation, altina can be explained with the exclusion of the prologue for the timeline).

the three empty places in the combat section are two after nalili and before rule and one after her. the first two are ginasta and uyae, the last the only lead is the ominous lilith...

the non combat screen features three empty slot after balia and in the last slot iris. the place of the best secretary eve is a good indication we had already met all the three, my bet is dari and wynn, but the third? Funai I think is out because her lack of any rp change, can be elleani, if she don't fill a leader slot.

the leader list had three empty slot, lynine, orilise and two other slot, the chronological rule means the first block is made by character meet before the elven trip. janine and sarai are in the pole position, for the third my (very very) long shot is esthera, one of the last two can be neranda (an IK had full control over the fertility of his seed, dwarf infertility problem? solved), the others don't think we had met her yet (some non arclent important people).

the last category is empty, the six goddess theory is really fascinating, but I don't think will be true. So, dunno to the powered of infinite :-/

the script beyond the harem panel are a field of red herring and joke, but perhaps a couple of real info can be found... actually the list had 32 slot (12+7+7+6=32), 9 are empty (spoiler/?????) in the last slot we found... Estevan with a description "genderbender shareholder" 99.9(9)8% it's a (good) joke...

back to the track, inside the list we have some obvious people: janine "queen of yhilin", uyae "wayward claw", wynn "eclectic mage", some foreseeable: dari "rewoman", robin "best daughter" and a couple very strange: ginasta "hero lady" and esthera "empress of the orgasmic empire". ginasta is half confirmed because her affection check in the synergy skill unlocker script, the qum-nick I suppose is a placeholder, but esthera? her name is placed between balia and nalili, so there is a little hope for her to find a way for joining the harem and not die in the end, the probability of her death is huge, but we will see...

the list features two empty slot in between the other name, 19 wynn, 20 spoiler, 21 iris, 22 spoiler, 23 lynine. I think elleani and sarai. the succession of name doesn't bear any discernible pattern after the first fourteen (chronological order, with janine near the bottom of the block), so the exact position of the field isn't a good mark to judge the possible name, they are two women we already know, I think the names are obscured because the title can be a huge spoiler of future events. a counterargument can be ginasta, the hero lady doesn't think is the real one, but I don't see another good explanation.

the teleportation chamber had some interesting design choice, the two black ball lead to the other two continet renthnor [teleport to phylon, orgasmic empire and renthor wilds] and thenours [teleport to erosia, ghenalon, tatseni, stenai and rodak], but more interesting is the four long 'catwalk' going to nothing and the cross shaped central hole. the 'research room' had from the start the 'hole' for the robin special project at the end of the 3AW (with the correct condition),and the 'qum bomb' crystal is placed in a middle and empty space well balanced for the symmetrical space with the other crystal, I will wait for another four/eight new teleporter, in the 'tower', 'demon realm' and some other plane of existence.

the last bit I can scrape from the game file are in the list of the skill [NOT synergy skill], they are separated from user/class (chosen skills, simon skills, aka skills, etc...). we have a possible simon's final skill (probably an AoE within the note the possibility to add corrupted/dominated status). aka had three skill after deathblow named shuddering strike, ecstatic strike and placeholder (note: third?), there is some space reserved for three other characters, the mighty gibbers the talking squirrel (obviously is the ivala's BFF, the prairie dog and the squirrel), the reincarnated arsehole of arclent (slaanesh after experiment with lucius had found it very fun and she had tried with other... poor simon) [both fake, obvs], and the there is some space reserved for three other characters, the mighty gibbers the talking squirrel (obviously is the ivala's BFF, the prairie dog and the squirrel), the reincarnated arsheole of arclent (slaanesh after experiment with lucius had found it very fun and she had tried with other... poor simon) [both fake, obvs], and the phantomatic Lilith [an image of her in the pic folder let me said 50% fake / 50% real]. Lilith [an image of her in the pic folder let me said 50% fake / 50% real].
