While I love Tristan, lancelot, gawain, and isolde, I would honestly rather have gotten prequels rather than a sequel from nnt
Like I'm watching season 5 episode 16 (possibly my fave episode) and ban says the 7th rule of the sins is "whether you like it or not, sometimes we have to work together" and that got me thinking about 10 years before the start, during the early years of the sins. Clearly they weren't always so fond of each other lol. Like I want to see them begin to learn to lean on each other, see the vampires of Edinburgh arc, see Zaratras (bc he's just so babygirl).
Even more so, I DESPERATELY want to see the Holy War as like a full sequence of events, see more of demon and goddess politics, as well as the demon and goddess realms, plus Meliodas and Elizabeth's original love story bc like I want to know how they went from Blood stained Ellie and Meliodas of Love to working with Stigma. I want to see the glory days of the 10 commandments, I want to know about Belialuin and the warlocks, the creation of the celestial race. PLUS I want to know more about the Supreme deity !! And meliodas and zeldris's mom, and Elizabeth's father, and watch gelda and zeldris fall in love.
There's just so much incredible world building that I feel like we're missing out by not getting to see these stories😭😭
Ps if anyone has any good prequel fic recs I would very much like them👀👀👀

LORE (1): THE SUPREME DEITY — NANATSU NO TAIZAI
So, I’ve recently come up with some lore that kind of makes sense on the Supreme Deity.
Now, as an ex-Christian, one thing I know for sure is that the figureheads of the Church were were primarily males, the females that were mentioned a number of times in a good light were Eve (somewhat), the virgin Mary, Elizabeth — Mary’s cousin, and Mary Magdalene, etc.
So on the 40 (?) minutes I had on my bus ride home from school, I created something on the Supreme Deity using what I have stated above.
First things first, her predecessors were all males. For numerous generations, there were only male rulers, which is pretty ironic since they're referred to as ‘Goddesses’ which is the term used for females.
When she was conceived, there was a prophesy given that she would change the flow of the Goddess Clan for many generations to come and would be known as ‘The Supreme Deity’.
Now, everyone strongly believed that she was a male and celebrated this prophesy, thinking that she would put an end to the Demon Clan once and for all and lead the Goddesses to prosperity.
However, one of the ‘Seers’ tells them that the child would be a female rather than a male, and this sparks an outrage. The ruler at the time, her father, immediately sentenced him to be beheaded for speaking ‘blasphemy’.
Now, her mother was already quite frail, and having such a negative spotlight over her head only caused her health to weaken further.
As she was being born, both her and her mother faced some complications which was life threatening in both their parts, but thankfully, they survive.
Weaker than ever, her mother is advised to not have another child if she wishes to live.
When the mid-wife announces the Supreme Deity — who I’ve named Athena because it kind of fits — is a female, everything takes a whole 180 from there.
Her father is enraged, cursing at his barely conscious wife for birthing him a disgrace, and blaming Athena being a girl on her, to which the mid-wife explains that since a woman’s egg cannot choose the gender of the baby, the fault was his.
Reluctant to have a woman as his heir and face being a laughing stock, he takes in numerous concubines, ten to be exact, hoping that one of them would bear him a male child.
As he does this, he neglects his wife who’s slowly dying and the newborn Athena.
Unfortunately for him and themselves, all the concubines only bear female children which causes him to lash out and kill all ten of his concubines and their daughters, earning him the name as ‘The Blood-Soaked King’.
At this point, people were ready to accept her as the heir to the throne and come to term with the prophecy, but the King was desperate to have a male child.
The aides had advised him to accept it and move on, telling him that the more he mulled over this, the more his image in the eyes of the people would worsen.
He didn’t listen, and much to everyone's dismay, he took advantage of a young maid who had just begun serving his wife and impregnated her.
The aides were severely disappointed, and urged him to kick her out of the palace for the both of them to save face — mostly him because he did force himself on her, but alas, he never takes their advice.
His only response was, “I will keep her here in case she gives me a son, if not, she and her child will join the concubines in the world of the deceased.”
Nine months pass and it’s the moment everyone’s anticipated.
The maid bears a male child.
Because of this, the King makes her his official mistress and makes it official that his son would take the throne when he is of age.
None of the royals were happy with the news, after all, they would rather have a ruler of high noble status like Athena rather than one with the blood of a commoner.
Because of the heartbreak, Athena’s mother dies, leaving her orphaned at the young age of three.
As the two grow up, the King makes it obvious that he doesn’t care about his daughter, doing his very best to marry her off to some low ranked noble family and call it a day, but she doesn’t let that happen.
Athena is very clearly more intelligent than her younger brother which makes her very important in the government, and everyone who has expressed how they think she would be a better fit for the throne was executed and replaced.
Once her brother her turned eighteen (in goddess years), she was twenty three (in goddess years), and he was to be coronated.
However, the coronation aligned with the death anniversary held for her mother.
Once again, the aides brough their concerns to the King, telling him that moving the coronation to the next month would be ideal so Athena and her maternal family would be able to mourn her mother.
He tells them that if they prioritize her over his son ever again, he wouldn't hesitate to kill them all.
And just to spite them, he makes the coronation fall on the day his wife dies, at the exact hour of her death.
However, this ‘joyous’ occasion is turned into a bloodbath by the Ten Commandments (of the time) who kill off the prince just as he’s crowned.
They kill everyone who was at the coronation at that moment. The King and Archangels (of the time) are no exception.
Hearing the news that the coronation was ambushed, Athena leaves her mother's memorial to prepare for battle.
The battle is horrible, the Goddesses were on the verge of defeat, and it is at the peak of the battle that Athena shows just why she was prophesied to be called the Supreme Deity.
The battle ends in the Demons retreating, and in bloodstained clothes, Athena goes into the chapel where the corpses of her father and brother are and takes the bloodied crown, sovereign scepter and sovereign orb.
Then and there on the day were she’d lost her entire family, she gained the power she’d been seeking since she learnt how to speak.
Athena rose to the throne and became the first ever female ruler and the most powerful one in the history of the Goddess Clan.
