LOTM: Sword of Kings Old and New Legends Concept or Non-Canon Expanded Universe is the name given to the script of the story of LOTM: Sword of Kings, LOTM: War Thunder, LOTM: Destiny and other prequel and sequels storyline before 2018. In 2016, the Old Script was written but in 2018 was abandoned and most the old ideas to the story were abandoned or update into the new canon material.

To understand canon and continuity, the overall SoK should be looked at as a set of stories written by many different people which "document" past "events." Although some stories are more reliable than others, they all are looked upon as part of the overall "history." It should also be remembered that all of these stories are simply that—stories. There are numerous errors that inevitably arise between the stories simply because different authors have their own ways of telling the story and may not have the time and resources to perfectly align the details.

The situation can be compared to Greek and Roman mythology, or the stories of King Arthur. The various planned stories to LOTM: Sword of Kings tales are a group of separate but linked stories, and are told by many different writters over a period of time from 2015 to 2018. The Old Script, formerly known as the Expanded Universe (abbreviated EU), encompasses every one of the officially fictional background stories of the LOTM: Sword of Kings universe, outside of the original storylines like ''LOTM: A Draw of Kings. The old material expands and continues the stories told in the original story, taking place anywhere from over 36,000 years before Saga AA to 136 years after the end of LOTM: ADoK''. The issue of which aspects are canon was one of the most hotly debated topics among the writters.

In 2017 to2018, the CIS Productions came to a conclusion to rewrite the overall plot of SoK, casually interfering in some minor changes in LOTM: Witnesses of Sleepy Hollow as the two stories take place in the same Universe.

Part 1 - Major Heroes
The concept of heroes in the old script was way more VAST and yet flat and not so complex like the ones now. Originally, the heroes were most humans with a little of personality except they hated war and death. Katarina, however, is the main heroine that suffered the most changes, first starting with her name, age, appearance and history.

Katarina was previously known as Scarlet Couteau and was a mere high-school girl who at some point met La Folia and started living with her because her parents died in a fire accident in her old house. The two grew up together but Scarlet lacked many things the current Katarina has; she hated fights, she was lazy, she was an otaku girl who played games most of time and was considerable by many an anti-social girl from the very beginning until the end of her appearance.

Aside from Katarina, there were 50,000 heroes characters in the original story, so many heroes that in the new script 80% of them were cut from heroic organization like KnightWalker Funeral Parlor and Alliance of Freedom. The original script also had all heroes and villains from the Multi-Universe teleported to one universe, no matter who they were and what were their goals. This caused a massive explosion of material inside that turned out to be unnecessary for the story as so many characters would explode the story from inside.

Currently, the Alliance of Freedom is under the change of names to Alliance to Restore Order as the old name is very related to old heroic cliches for being an organization composed by thousands pure-hearted heroes with goals to defeat Balam Alliance then returning to their home worlds. In the old script, when the Multi-Universal War started, the heroes were not suppose to have any deep relationships like the current Rogues and were almost disposable soldiers in combat if someone died.

Part 2 - Major Villains
The original concept of villains in the old script was even more flat, with most of them being sadistic monsters and extremely overpowered villains inspired in the bad-written villains from Dragon Ball Z and its other universes like Xenoverse and Dragon Ball Heroes. The villains were 99% Card-Carrying Villains who had no reasons for their goals and wanted power, destruction and war to increase their profit and sadism to see all Multi-Universe destroyed. The old script also made all of them single threats and no one had connections with each other. The Bigger Bad of LOTM: A Draw of Kings, The Fallen, was even more flat than most characters as he was originally a Vampire under the control of the Nazi German Army that escaped from a parallel Earth millions years ago. Aside from that, the original villains were way more powerful and were no played for laughs at all, yet the story would get more and more violent at each villain the heroes defeated. At the time the Alliance of Freedom was fighting DEM Empire, the story is in 18+ rated for nazism and their similarities with real-life nazi crimes in WWII. In the new script, these crimes happen so often that what DEM Empire do in the future is no longer a shock but this is shown with moderation. Currently, the discussion to erase the existence of Brotherhood of the Abyss is in question as there is no space for them anymore, the Balam Alliance and their indirect threats brought to Saga AA and later stories are more proper for the setting.

Part 3 - Saga AA
The concept of Saga AA was way more simple than you think. Saga AA was previously known for being a Free rate story with no violence except for a little street fight here and there. Before the new script, Eckidina KnightWalker was the only and true threat to the heroes of Raizen High School. She was the president and daughter of Juria KnightWalker, a rich business of a company located in Tenguu City and was known for being a gambler.

Previously, Saga AA was a simple and "boring" plot where Raizen High School's students were often in war with Daybrooke School (that still pretty much active in the story currently but was never shown yet) a school made for delinquents and scums of society.

Eckidina was just like her current persona but her power and influence were not so grand as the current Eckidina is. The New Eckidina literally plunged the world into a new World War while the old Eckidina was only a spoiled woman who wanted to throw Tenguu City in chaos using Daybrooke School and Mafusa Gang. This plan, however, happens in the new script but Eckidina expands this battle to the entire world and turning it even more destructive, chaotic and monstruous.

The original concept of Saga AA was to have only around 12 and 24 episodes, with the two seasons having only 12 episodes each. The original concept was focused in Eckidina playing mind games with the police force and turning the city into a hellish state of civil war. After her defeat, she was suppose to be  ARRESTED  instead of being killed severely for her crimes. After her defeat, Scarlet and La Folia were supposed to be teleported to another planet by the Reality Council.

In addition, the very concept of Saga AA was a setting where Prime Earth was a destroyed planet with the civilization living at the year of 4000. Yet, the society was very well equipped with technology and life was normal. In this concepty, Eckidina didn't even exist.

Part 4 ​- Sith Saga
In the old script, the Sith Saga was suppose to be the largest saga of all story, with each arc having more than 50 episodes. Later, in 2017, 3 of the arcs were deleted and half of the episodes of the two remaining arcs were cut in half thanks to the model of writting of CIS Productions.

Originally, the story was suppose to have only 4 small parts in each episode like the first episodes of LOTM: Sword of Kings AA - Raizen School Arc but over time the writters found new techniques of how to made well-written stories with much better context and images to explain better what is happening In-Universe.

In Sith Saga, the heroes would be focused in 4 missions; escape from the planet where they were teleported, attack the most important capitals of Sith Empire, attack the Major Prison of Kalba planet and later invade the central force of the empire. In just 4 missions, the saga was suppose to have 200+ episodes. Considering the old script had more simple and easier methods to write, that was possible but the new methods take weeks and even months to be finished so this idea of Sith Saga was discarted

Part 5 - Hell Saga
The old script had more plans for Earth than the current one but was way more simple. After the defeat of Triggers Hell, Leohart made his move by destroying the Reality Council (that also happens in the current script). Soon afterwards, the Alliance of Freedom together with the New Conglomerate sent an invasion force to Triggers Hell where they face the demons to stop Leohart's plan. During their battle, they also face classic villains like Broly who is under the mind control of Leohart. After the defeat of Broly, they arrive at the Qliphoth Floor and face Ara Astaroth who was untilt then the leader of small force called Leohart's Cult and was his daughter, serving him as Enforcer and leader of his bunch of cultists. It turns out the new script had Ara as the most developed and creative demon of Triggers Hell. After many challenges, Leohart and his force 30 Neo-Demons move to Prime Earth to destroy it as that Earth is the pillar of the Multi-Universe itself. Soon in the story, the Prime Earth only becomes the pillar of other parallel Earths instead of being the very foundation of the Multi-Universe itself.

Part 6 - DEM Saga
Months after Leohart's death in a fight that takes 90 episodes, Katarina and the others members of Alliance of Freedom disband the organization as the last enemy, DEM Empire, was surrounded by trillion resistence organizationa and their downfall was easy to predict but soon the DEM Empire strikes the very Paradise of the Supreme God and kills 30% of all heroes of the story in a matter of days. With the insane military power of DEM, the Multi-Universe fell and Katarina lost La Folia on the process. Seeking for revenge, Katarina herself go fight Isaac Westcott, the Emperor of DEM, and together with a few allies that survived, she made her way through the Abyssals and the DEM Force to engage a fight with Westcott. This fights take even longer than the previous one; 120 episodes focusing in different point of views of different characters. At the end of the battle, Westcott is killed by Katarina soon before he could destroy the Multi-Universe's core but she dies in the process as well after a long episode of Tear Jerking plot. One of her final scenes was her moving to Afterlife with Rentaro Satomi who was not even alive at the time of Saga AA but was killed in a car accident years prior the beginning of the story. ​​​​​​
