And now we have The Battle for the Sovereignty!
Immanuel's The Returned Branch Royal - this ends just after Gervasio and co get their schtappes. I don't think we have an exact date for that, however... For the moment, I'm thinking it should go after
To Ahrensbach in the previous book (so Gervasio claims his schtappe just before Ferdinand rushes to make a tool Grutrissheit and organise the attack on the Sovereignty).
Anastasius' The Royal Family's Position - Ends just after the waschen machine incident. That places this after
The Battle atop the Altar.
Magdalena's Smiting the Traitor - Ends while Gervasio, Ferdinand, and Rozemyne are visiting Erwaermen. So it could either be placed alongside
The Royal Family's Position, or after either of the following chapters (
In the Garden of Beginnings or
The Race to Become Zent). For now, I think after
In the Garden.
Gervasio's Descent of a Goddess - Ends with the destruction of Gervasio's schtappe. This happens during
The Lord of Evil's Machinations, so this chapter should go directly afterwards.
Ferdinand's A Battle That Must Be Won - Ends at more or less the same point as Gervasio's chapter, so should be placed in the same gap.
This gives an approximate reading order of:
The Battle atop the Altar
The Royal Family's Position [Anastasius]
In the Garden of Beginnings
Smiting the Traitor [Magdalena]
The Race to Become Zent
The Lord of Evil's Machinations
Descent of a Goddess [Gervasio]
A Battle That Must Be Won [Ferdinand]
