Threadmarks: A not-so brief comment about my ideas for the TL
Hello, friends! Happy Holidays to everyone!
There's a long time since I've updated the TL, and I believe that, in consideration to the readers and followers, an explanation is needed. 2023 has been a very productive, but also very exhausting year in my work schedule, and this, coupled with the...
Khorasan is more remote, but the problem is that it lacks natural defenses and is far poorer in resources than mainland Persia and Mesopotamia.
It would indeed interesting to see the Sassanids to convert to Islam, though I find that unlikely, because the very political existence of the...
The Garonne or the Loire come to mind. But I suppose that in very ancient times they were heavily forested.
What about the Rhône?
Now, to be clear, does the OP wants to establish a pre-Indo-European civilizacional? Or, say, a pre-Celtish one, for instance? The periodization seems relevant here.
Messing up the movements of the Germanic (and, by extension, Iranian and Turkic) peoples during Late Antiquity can produce very interesting outcomes. One I've been entertaining for some time is to have the larger Germanic peoples immigrate into the Balkans in a scenario in which Constantinople...
Threadmarks: 69. The Prophesized Emperors (Part 1)
THE PROPHESIZED EMPERORS (PART 1)
Hyperpyron issued in the reign of Alexios II Komnenos
Of the Komnenian System and the Rhõmaîon Feudalism
In retrospective analysis, the prevailing historiographic perspective towards the study of the History of Rhōmanía under the Komnenoi dynasty tells us...
An interesting example is Theodorich the Great, later "mythologified" as Dietrich von Bern in later Medieval legend, who was adopted as a model of ideal kingship in the HRE. Very interesting example, because the real Theodorich was deeply Romanized as governed a more Roman than Germanic society.
One of these odd things we think when English is not the first language... when I read the thread title, I assumed the flying shuttle was an aerial vehicle (vis a vis the "space shuttle")... so, we could have fascinating and likely bizarre clock-punkish shenanigans.
Hey, guys, thanks very much for the answers, it was very helpful!! In general terms, I agree with the points raised, and I did suspect that there wasn't really a legal framework or precedent, but rather a "might makes right" situation between the English kings and the Scottish ones.
What about...
Hi, folks! So, one thing I'm puzzled about is about the relations between the kings of England, Scotland and the princes of Wales between the Norman Conquest and the Scottish War of Independence. At different periods we see English kings effectively vassalizing the Welsh princes, and, more...
Threadmarks: Friendly Request: Contribute to the newly created Tv tropes Page
Hey guys, this is something I've been wanting to do for a long time... Now AATNSGTI (the acronym is not exactly the easiest one to remember :/ ) has its own TV Tropes Page:

If any of you dear readers is a fellow...
THE JEWS AND THE CRUSADES
Colored woodcarving depicting a theological disputation between Christians and Jewish scholars (c. 1290)

It is useful and adequate to the pursuit and flourishment of knowledge that we delve into the comprehension of...
Hey guys, how are y'all? I have one new chapter written to post, but perhaps I won't be able to revise it still today. Then, I have some great RL news for you. Many of you know that, in late 2020, our first son passed away soon after his birth, and in the beginning of 2021 we discovered another...
