Timeline
This page concerns the timeline of the Elthlead World, first presented are more basic timelines to show various suggest timelines for the series. After there are more advanced timelines that goes into detail using a timeline from Guyframe's manual and with conjecture based on the games to bring details in from the other games.
At the moment, Langrisser Millenium isn't included as they are in an entirely new world, with only Langrisser connecting them. [1]
The original timeline before the Langrisser Series.
Elthlead
↓
Langrisser 1 for the Sega Mega Drive makes clear references to Elthlead games. This timeline shows how the series timeline flow before later entries. Der Langrisser for SNES has a Seighart that is closer to the one that appears in the Elthlead Trilogy then Langrisser 3
History of Elthlead

Langrisser 1 Mega Drive
↓
Langrisser RE: Incarnation is hard to place where it takes place, it definitely takes place after Langrisser 1, and drops hint concerning Langrisser 2. However it says nothing concerning the events of 4 and 5 though the state of the world does indicate that it takes place after those entries. Such as the need for a new Boser, and the condition of the continent.

This is a timeline that tries to make most of the games fit into a single timeline. Included in this timeline is the Assault Suit Series, for various reason, one of which is the Assault suit itself. It shows up within the Langrisser series as a set of armor, and can be used to explain where the Guyframe in IV comes from. Placing it first can also explain where the artificial moon comes from as well. Following that is Langrisser III, and then the History of Elthlead, which isn't necessarily Raymond, as the game show Seighart with red hair meaning it could be a later ruler in Elthlead House. After this the timeline follows the series release, until we put Guyframe at the end, as it clearly set after everything. Note this timeline, it would be possible to include the Cho Aniki series as well.
