* GreatOffscreenWar: As in canon, the Agarthan rebellion against the Nabateans and Sothis. Though, the war is fleshed out a bit more than in the original...
** It turns out that Fodlan actually did have normal Gods inherent to the planet’s civilization who the Agarthans followed. They were weaker than Sothis on account of being normal Divine Spirits from the planet compared to Sothis’ status as a [[spoiler: Zeus-class Olympian Machine God]] from space. In the rebellion against Sothis and the Nabateans’ rule over the native humans of the planet, every single one sided with the people that worshipped them against Sothis. [[spoiler: They seemingly all died to the last against Sothis for the Agarthans.]]
** The result of the war with the Agarthans, their allies, and their Gods all facing off against the Nabateans meant that Sothis had to expend most of her power in a final blow to defeat humanity, decimating the original humans’ numbers and forcing them into hiding. However, as a result of Sothis using so much of her power against the Agarthans’ forces, [[spoiler: she was forced to discard her Machine Body with the vast majority of her Authorities within, and revert to the AI-Terminal form within her Core with only her Authority over Time as a Chief Goddess remaining.]]
** Instead of the black-white war of canon, it’s more gray in this. The Agarthans had much more morally justified reasons to want Sothis and the Nabateans gone in this fic, and Sothis wasn’t exactly a good person before meeting Byleth.
*** Sothis isn’t even from [[spoiler: Fodlan]] originally like the Agarthans and the Gods they worshiped, she’s a [[spoiler: Machine God from outer space]] who came to the planet and imposed rule over the humans there using her power and her Nabatean “children”, on people who knew nothing and not interacted beforehand with her.
*** In addition, it’s shown that like many Divine Spirits and [[spoiler: Machine Gods]], Sothis in her higher power state looked at the Agarthans, as with all humans, as nothing more than *thinking reeds*. She was nothing more than an inhuman tyrant before she gained humanity through joining with Byleth through her core’s [[spoiler: AI personality]], so the humans had a justified reason to not want to be under her rule, since she didn’t even consider her subjects *people*.
*** Plus, the Agarthan Gods seemingly were much more on humanity’s side than Sothis was, as they fought with the Agarthans against her rule in the rebellion, and [[spoiler: died to the last for mankind.]] Understandably, the Agarthans see Sothis as a false Goddess who doesn’t understand mankind in comparison to apparently heroic Gods like the ones they worshipped, and not one deserving of mankind’s faith.
*** Finally, Sothis, it turns out, with the last of her power after decimating the original humans, created a new race of humans to worship her and follow her people.
