I know this isn’t normal these days, but I actually do play ARPGs for the story. I love Last Epoch’s story so far! I’m just waiting for it to be done. I’m not playing in the meantime. Just wanted to say that in a place the devs might see it.

I’m also excited how the story will wrap up!
I’ve got some theories and wonder how everything will play out.
(warning, spoiler ahead!!!)
I’m fairly certain that the Immortal Emperor must be Grael - the Immortal Empire hates the gods and seems to be built ontop of the ruins of Rahyes citadel. But how exactly did it all happen? Why is Zerrick a worm? Why did Harton become a giant crab? Why does Yulia assume we have the Lance at the end of the Imperial Era’s story? And how does Apophis already spread the void in the divine Era, when Gaspar assumed it was the Emperor who is the source of the Void? And once they implement new acts, are they going to retcon Apophis’ behavior shortly before we enter endgame monoliths? Or does she still make us enter the Monoliths before we can continue the campaign?
Anyway, sorry for the wall of text, I just had to write my theories out somewhere!
Excited what the lore department is cooking up! Good luck EHG!

Next chapter is coming in the next season… so there is progress! (not all of the rest of the campaign however 
)

I believe we’re getting Chapter 10 in Season 3.
I also believe we won’t get more than one per season, so we shouldn’t have a complete campaign until Season 5 at the earliest.

Oh! Super glad a chapter is actually announced; I couldn’t find anything online about any work happening on the campaign at all.
It was confirmed during one of Mikes friday Twitch-lives. No announcement text on Season 3 yet so of course nothing found via search.
Mike confirmed it and it was also part of both roadmaps (the old one had the chapter being added in 1.2, the new one only had it as upcoming).

Don’t we already know this? We meet her out of order. We first meet her in the Imperial Era, but she first met us in the Divine Era

Does this assume she is the Oracle?
No, the Oracle is totally different as van be seen by the in-game models of Yulia & the Oracle.
Guess I don’t know when we met her then!
Yulia? She’s met initially in the Imperial Era where you follow her through to kill the Emperor & she then sends you back in time where you meet her Heoborea.
My mistake, I thought we were talking about Apophis?
Where? We never met her in the Divine Era, we only do in the Imperial Era.
Coming back she imagines we have the Lance but it gets never explained… which is likely Act 10-12 somewhere… maybe. But for now it’s open-ended and simply a plot-hole.
It could also lead to diverging timelines, meaning we don’t move backwards and forwards in time but instead move between multiverses so to speak. But also only lightly hinted that it’s a possibility.
Story-wise it makes no sense - yet - that she would imagine it, even if we can infer possible reasons.
Oh, ok, I could have misread the original posts & was thinking of Yulia (who we meet in the Imperial era then the Divine) rather than Apophis.
I think Arakasii is talking about Apophis/the Oracle, personally I’m not convinced that the Oracle is Apophis.

We meet her in the divine era right after the emperor and meet Heorot after the fight with Rahyeh
We meet her at the beginning of the game, don’t we? But then she vanishes (I think someone says she went to the north?).
Which makes it even weirder… why would she think we have the Lance then? Nothing pointed to it… ever. We’re wizzed off into ‘sometime’, so by the knowledge of the Divine Age we’re just gone for good.
I don’t really care about the story or the lore, but I know this thread exists, does it help?
