Difference Between the Original and Michelia Timeline

 * There are few key difference that separating this series from the original counterpart,
 * Both Brune and Zhcted are forging an alliance against Muozinel's Invasion. For this reason, Muozinel's Invasion is the first battle of the series instead of Battle of Dinant.
 * Unlike the original timeline, Tigre is not a prisoner of war to the Vanadis but a friend to one.
 * Some characters such as Urs and Lana (whose name never revealed from the original series) are alive in the series and they will play a bigger role for Tigre and Mila respectively.
 * Roland is aged 28 in this series instead of 29 from the original. Unlike his original counterpart where he was Tigre's enemy due to his alignment with Zhcted's war maiden and met his end by Ganelon (Original), his story expands as he becoming one of many Tigre's and the Vanadises' crucial allies in the series.
 * Instead of Tina, Militsa is the Vanadis of Osterode and her role is extended in this series. It is revealed that Tina has quit her position as a Vanadis and becoming a wife to a local noble.
 * When the uneasy rivalry between Leitmeritz and Olmutz still persists in this timeline, unlike the original counterpart where Alsace was annexed to Leitmeritz after the death of Zion, Alsace joins Olmutz instead because of the friendly relationship between Urz and Lana.
 * Elen, while still a rival to Mila due to the intense rivalry between Leitmeritz and Olmutz from the original timeline, is not the protagonist and she is not related to Tigre despite her friendship with him. Even so, however, she is still a main character alongside Tigre and Mila-particularly her doppelganger's rampage throughout Leitmeritz and hurts Sofya.
 * Whilst its civil war still happens due to the bloody feud between Germaine and Eliot after King Zacharias's illness (who turned out to be alive in the new timeline), Asvarre seeks Brune instead of Zhcted for help. In fact, unlike her original counterpart where she remained neutral until the end of the civil war, Princess Guinevere instead makes her move by seeking Roland and the Navarre Knights for help.
 * Moreover, as the story goes on, Guinevere's role expand further even after she becomes the Queen in Asvarre due to her intrigue for Roland.
 * More demons are introduced in the series. Aside from Drekavac or even Ganelon, a demon by the name Zmei is intrigued by Black Bow that may hinting the Demons' knowledge about the myth of the Magic Bullet Lore.
 * Brune Civil War is been altered in this timeline,
 * Instead of the feud between Thenardier & Ganelon, it is the rivalry between Regnas and Bachelard sparks Brune's infamous civil war.
 * However despite this, both Dukes are the driving force behind the civil war from the shadows with different agendas: Ganelon is revealed to be manipulating both Bachelard for more influences across Brune. Thenardier, meanwhile, planning to wait for both Ganelon and the Brune Royalty (that includes, Faron, Regnas and even Bachelard) to be exhausted from the civil war, then wipe them out with a swoop-indicating his ambitions to take over Brune in the midst of the chaos.
 * Sofy and Faris (Amnesiac Liza) are siding with Prince Regnas during the civil war when they met up with Tigre after their retreat from Bachelard.
 * Tallard joins the civil war by siding with Bachelard during the civil war.
