Background

At the beginning of the first calendric era, magic had not yet been created. According to Andres's knowledge, the elemental Sovereigns would later devise magic to spread faith throughout the Material Planes; their absence suggested that the Sovereigns had not yet been born 2.

A being can become a Sovereign only by refining a Sovereign Spark. The Sparks descend after heaven and earth have existed for an immense period, creating a struggle among Highgods, Lords, and other powerful experts across the Four Supreme Planes 2 199 206.

Seventy-seven pillars of light marked the descent of the Sovereign Sparks. Their appearance began a prolonged conflict in which Highgods and Lords fought for control of the future Godheads 199 206. Andres became the Wind Sovereign after refining the Wind Elemental High Godhead in the Heaven Realm 206.

Middle-level Sovereign Sparks	A Mid-level Sovereign possesses a major advantage over Lower-level Sovereigns; Gudrian could initially overpower three newly ascended Lower-level Sovereigns before facing all four Divine Beasts together 208.

Hell's total allocation	Hell was reported to contain two High, six Middle, and thirteen Lower Sovereign Sparks 199.

Refinement

Refining a Sovereign Spark transforms its holder into a Sovereign and grants Sovereign Power, Willpower Authority, and a Godhead connected to the holder's soul. After Andres blood-bonded the Wind Elemental High Godhead, it entered his brow while vast Wind Sovereign Power formed around him 206.

A Sovereign may refine additional Sparks through separate God Clones. Andres refined the Fire Elemental High Godhead with another clone, gaining a second Sovereign clone 207.

Willpower Authority

The defining advantage of a Sovereign is the Willpower Authority contained within a Sovereign Spark. A High Godhead carries nearly boundless Willpower Authority, allowing a Sovereign to kill even a Paragon Highgod with ease under normal circumstances 206.

• Sovereign Willpower can be used offensively against weaker beings; Riding expected a mere command backed by his Willpower to kill Andres before discovering that another Sovereign was protecting him 207.
• Refining a Spark changes the soul of the refining God Clone and grants it a portion of Willpower Authority 207.
• Sovereign rank does not prevent Divine Sense from examining a higher-ranked Sovereign; Riding's belief that rank differences caused this limitation was explicitly incorrect 208.

Sovereign Power

Upon becoming a Sovereign, the holder's divine power becomes Sovereign Power, which can be applied to both material and soul-related combat 209.

• Sovereign Power can be distributed to trusted followers. Andres granted Yasen and Cilia more than ten thousand drops each and made them his Sovereign's Emissaries 215.
• A Sovereign can provide artifacts and Sovereign's Might to strengthen an Envoy, as seen when Magnus and Hermes were recruited 221.
• Sovereign-level combat is generally moved into Spatial Turbulence because even the Four Supreme Planes cannot withstand sustained Sovereign attacks 211.

Sovereign Conflict

The emergence of Sovereigns did not end the struggle over Sparks. Many Sovereigns possessed multiple God Clones and could refine additional Godheads, making unclaimed Sparks valuable even to existing Sovereigns 209.

After the initial ascent period, Sovereigns fought one another for additional Godheads and Willpower Authority. Nimo sought Uthered's protection after becoming his subordinate, but Andres still killed her and seized her Fire Lower-level Sovereign Spark 210.

The Four Divine Beasts' Combined Innate Divine Ability was capable of killing a Mid-level Sovereign when used by all four newly ascended siblings together 208. Once Andres obtained their method and wielded it with multiple Sovereign clones, other Sovereigns regarded him as an overwhelming threat and fled 214.

Territories and Administration

Wind Sovereigns divided the completed Wind Element God Plane into territories. Andres received governance over all seas and one continent 219.

Sovereigns may establish large-scale organizations through their followers and Envoys.

• Andres ordered the creation of Sovereign Armies to control Teleportation Arrays and administer Hell 215 216.
• His Iron Saber Castles were repurposed into Demon Castles responsible for gathering and selling intelligence 216.
• Sovereign Envoys such as Magnus and Hermes received Sovereign Artifacts and one hundred drops of Sovereign's Might 221.
