Finally, an order of Manus' Daughters?

(Saw @ornsteinbignaturals speculate on it and decided to make my own post) So apparently, internal names suggest that the order of the sisters was: Nadalia -> Alsanna -> Elana -> Nashandra! Alternatively, it is Nashandra -> Nadalia -> Alsanna -> Elana!

Apparently, initially, Nashandra was confirmed to be the eldest sister, which does feel odd considering both the order of events and the order of kingdoms existing (with Drangleic being the latest name in history)! For some reason, they did retcon that in SotFS, which is basically "canon".

The good pointer towards Nashandra being the eldest is the children of the Sun that the sisters are mirroring; Nashandra's bow uses the Lightning, Nadalia has healing powers, Alsanna soothes minds and Elana summons illusions that kick your ass. In other words, Nashandra mirrors Nameless King, which is the firstborn. But what took Nashandra SO long? Maybe despite being born first, she took the longest time to actually mature because of being "feeble"?

You could also potentially imagine that she's been draining small kings dry and moving on until she finally found love with Vendrick because he was the only one that could match her freak and want. But then whyyyyyyYYYYY devs retconned it in SotFS? Would not there be a good reason to?

So, Alken and Venn are the eldest! In Eleum Loyce, there are Flexile Sentries, who served Venn (after they served Olaphis and before they served Drangleic) locked in the room behind the torches. And since Lost Sinner, who is strongly implied to be Queen of Venn herself, was in contact with the Chaos, it must have been her who unleashed the Chaos in the place where Eleum Loyce got built. Besides, only Iron King is called "old" hjhshdhshs.

Then, of course, Eleum Loyce was built after the fell of Venn and Alken, and Shulva was the closest in the timeline to Drangleic. First, Velstadt comes from there, second, international release description for the Sunken King DLC mentioned Crown of the Sunken King being once owned by Vendrick, in stark contrast to other two DLCs! I think the implication is that Shulva either coexisted in time with Drangleic or was the last one to fall before Drangleic. (Probably the latter, because otherwise it is a big question how Aldia would have Sinh just within their reach and not explode lol)

Is Nashandra the eldest sister or the youngest one?

The eldest

TIL that this portrait of Nashandra causes curse buildup???

[withercat22]

I wonder what would have happened to Nashandra if she hadn't found anyone on Drangleic. Would she have gone looking for another monarch? Would she have suffered in her yearning, in her want?
