I didn't add it at first, but I also drafted a flashback level with all of the previous tribute holds in it being recapped/summarized, just like the original TSS hold had; I will only add it after I finish all the other holds first though, to keep things logical.
I also recapped the GatEB tribute in my interpretation, whereas the original TSS didn't show the original GatEB in the optional flashback sequence.
So in this exact order, no other way:
* Gunthro seeing the king get killed
* Gunthro entering Tueno to get revenge
* Gunthro getting thrown in jail after confronting the Captain
* Gunthro confronting the Captain in the Inner Chambers, learning he didn't actually kill the king
* Gunthro confronting the True Court about their secret plans to kill the king and getting expelled because of it
* Beethro clearing level 3 of Dugan's Dungeon
* Beethro clearing level 9 of Dugan's Dungeon
* Beethro clearing level 17 of Dugan's Dungeon, learning the dungeon is deeper than he was told
* Beethro clearing level 24 of Dugan's Dungeon
* Beethro clearing level 25 of Dugan's Dungeon
* Beethro killing the 'Neather in the final room, and learning the stairs take him to a dead end
* Beethro heading back up to level 10 to look more closely at the mysterious yellow door
* Beethro bringing a portable orb to the door to open it
* Beethro meeting the 39th Slayer for the first time
* Beethro meeting the Pit Thing for the first time
* Beethro breaking Halph out of the goblin jail
* Beethro learning from the Pit Thing Dugan has burned down his Roasted Roach Grill and thinks he's a heretic
* Beethro destroying the Poppy Brigade
* Beethro at the Infohut for the first time
* Beethro at the Gate of Namedeness without a proper name
* Beethro meeting 84th Negotiator in the Empire city
* Beethro at the Grand Library for the first time, asking about
the Mothingness the Pit Thing mentioned
* Beethro learning what the Mothingness really means from the
Pit Thing
* Beethro being told the briar infestation at the Library was
the Empire's fault by the Pit Thing, and being told to take the express route back to Dugandy
* 84th Negotiator finishing her negotiation, allowing Beethro to get an Empire name
* Beethro at the gate to the express route, telling the gatekeeper where the briar breakout is so she can reroute the orb
* Beethro being taunted by the Pit Thing that Dugandy still doesn't want him, and that they have an army prepared to kill him on sight
* Beethro stealing a guard disguise to not be spotted
* Beethro taking off the disguise and confronting King Dugan head-on
* Beethro being chased out of Dugandy down the River Dugan by the King's army
* Beethro meeting the 1st Archivist for the first time in the Holding Vats, being taunted he's brewing something worse than the Slayers
* Beethro meeting the Negotiator to be told the negotiation was a success and he can apply at the Naming Office now
* Beethro proving his title as Slayer at the naming office by slaying some other candidates
* Beethro visiting Halph at the DAA, learning Halph doesn't want to go back to Beethro because the Architects are the good guys to him
* Beethro at the Slaymasters' Hall, being told he needs a pass to get in
* Beethro learning more about the 1st Archivist's true nature from the Pit Thing
* Beethro taking the pass by confronting the guy below the Archives with the pass
* Beethro learning firsthand about the Great Removal of all surfacers at the conference
* Beethro blowing up the Slaymasters' Hall so that the Great Removal can't happen, making him 1st Slayer in the process
* Beethro warning the chief of Glotthered about the Great Removal, only to get told to prove his worth first by dealing with an actual threat to the country
* Beethro dealing with the threat
* Beethro confessing the captain of the invasion escaped, and gets kicked out being told he isn't worthy of the chief's attention
* Beethro in the Hall of Answers now that he is 1st Slayer, not getting a proper answer as to where Lowest Point is
* Beethro back at the Infohut, learning there was a fast way directly to Lowest Point this whole time
* Beethro seeing the Stalwart Army get pummeled by the freshly brewed batch of Aumtlich that 1st Archivist made
* Beethro meeting Tendry, and discussing both of their plans to stop the wicked 1st Archivist
* Beethro being riddled in his obscure way what is lower than Lowest Point by the Pit Thing
* Beethro meeting Halph again, being told he was ordered to stop him from reaching Lowest Point for his own good
* Beethro arriving at Lowest Point having bested Halph at his puzzles and tricks, seeing the Second Sky in person and being breathtaken by it
* An Announcer telling the citizens of the Empire to not listen to Beethro's nonsense about 1st Watcher or what is really at Lowest Point
* Beethro meeting Halph again, but rather than being enemies they are both trying to stop 1st Archivist from destroying the surface, just in two different ways/styles
* Beethro meeting 1st Chemist, and learning about the Truth Vessels, one of the Empire's first creations far older than 1st Archivist ever was, basically as old as the Empire itself
* Beethro learning the Truth Vessels can only speak True Tongue and not the Simpuhl English native to the surfacers because the truth only comes in one language, whereas human languages are flexible and ever-changing; it would kill the Truth Vessels to speak anything but the straight truth because they were literally made for the task the same way any other Empire creation is
After this last part, the flashback ends to Beethro and 1st Chemist wanting to stop 1st Archivist from ending the surface too early in the current day, and then the TSS storyline takes place
