The Black Banner Hangs Over Ctesiphon Author's Note: This is a heavily edited revision of A Newly-Forged World: a Hunnic Pādeshāh, a collaboration between my good Bacchanallia pal Kosta and Zuvaeq, a poster I've come to respect and admire due to his successful Remnants of Rome timeline a while...

Since I've read an article or two that said that Ubisoft seriously considered 16th century Mexico as the setting of Assassin's Creed II before ultimately going with Renaissance Italy. I wonder what the characters and the storyline would be like.

I'm rather curious as to what propelled the construction of the public housing projects in the New York City metropolitan area in the first place and if it is possible to slow down or if possible stop all construction of the public housing projects and what would be the implications of it.

Apparently there were two other candidates aside from Faisal to become the newly appointed monarch of Iraq: the Naquib of Baghdad and Sayid Talib. The Naquib was too old to rule and only would had accepted the consent of the people as reason enough to rule but he deferred to Sayid Talib, a man...

Well make it so that Constantinople becomes controlled by the British. Bonus points if it becomes a Dominion. And go.

How can we make Bulgaria become part of the Entente and Greece part of the Central Powers? I care more about the latter but I just wondering if it's within the realm of plausibility?

I'm just rather curious about it.

Had the American losses not been so extensive by the British and their native allies, Madisonville would not had been abandoned. Give or take, the War of 1812 would had been over in a little more than a year and Congress might have some interest in Porter's claim on Nuku Hiva and probably ratify...

So what happens if Vlad and his Wallachian army succeeds in offing Mehmed II the Conquerer during the Night Attack in June 17, 1462? I'm guessing Bayezid or his brother Mustafa (the likelier choice) becomes Padishah of the Ottoman Sultanate a lot earlier. Cem, as always, gets killed. I would...

Part I The flag that I've been working on for the Neapolitan Republic, or the Repubblìc Napoletàn in the native Nnapulitano dialect. This is just something that I am doing for the timeline concept concerning the original point of divergence of Theodó̱ra Palaiologína Tocco, the first wife of...

Entertain me. ;)

How would you suppose Ottoman rule be like if the Ottomans had conquered huge swathes of the peninsula? How would relations be like between the Papacy and the Ottoman Sultan if the Turks captured Rome? Would Catholicism suffer a major schism if the Pope is held by the Ottomans to serve as the...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Damascus How would it be possible for the Crusaders to defeat the Burids and Zengids and take control of Damascus? What would happen afterwards?

Prior to the building of Alexandria, when Alexander was looking to build a city in his glory, Dinocrates proposed to build a city on Mount Athos in Greece.[2] Alexander dropped the proposal as Dinocrates reportedly did not consider the living conditions of the residents when he admitted to not...

What if Charles Vyner Brooke, Rajah of Sarawak, did not cede the Kingdom of Sarawak to the British Colonial Office after WWII? His nephew and heir, Anthony Brooke, was against cession of the colony and the move was extremely unpopular with the locals and the majority of the native members of the...

Keep Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia predominately Gaelic speaking. Your POD will be somewhere after 1800. GO!

I'm sure we've discussed this before but what if the Syrian Christian refugee Kallinikos was captured (or killed) by the Arab forces before he is able to reach the Byzantines in Constantinople? Without it, I doubt the Byzantines would be able to defeat the Umayyad navy in the Sea of Marmara...

I don't have much else to say but entertain me.

Apparently in 1891, Prince George of Greece and Denmark, son of King George I of Greece, accompanied his primo the Tsarevich Nicholas (later known as Tsar Nicholas II) on his voyage to Asia and saved his life from a would-be assassin while visiting Japan, in what became known as the Otsu...
