  1. The Lion from Midnight (a short scenario)

    The Lion from Midnight Inspired by my recent studies of religion and knowledge in Early Modern Sweden I decided to write a short scenario in which Gustavus Adolphus is from an early age, for whatever reason, more inclined towards the apocalyptic teachings of his teacher Johannes Bureus. Paired...

  2. Araldyana - Rome in the West
    Threadmarks: Prologue: The Roman Empire at the End of the 4th Century

    Araldyana Araldyana is the promised land for us glorious children of Aeneas. There the Lord will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead. The kingdom of Christ will have no end but it will have a beginning. From the far shores of the west it will enlighten this doomed world. -...

  3. Pan-Romance Colours

    IOTL we have pan-African, pan-Arab and pan-Slavic colours and even the Central American combination of (light) blue and white. I thought about which other pan-colours are possible. One of the best candidats in my opinion are the Romance speaking countries. We have already kind of a theme in...

  4. Plausebility Check: The whore of Persia

    The Biblical Whore of Babylon is usually interpreted as the pagan Roman Empire and sometimes as Jerusalem. What if Babylon is interpreted litteraly as Babylon? Could the later Christian emperors use the allegory of the Whore as propaganda against the Persians? Let's assume a longer...

  5. Alternate Nationalism

    Inspired by another thread: What does it take for nationalism to arise in a part of the world other than Europe? What are the unique circumstances which created it and are their other places on earth which could have favored nationalism? I think one of the most important factors that lead...

  6. The Araldyana Project

    You might remember my Araldyana Map Series and my attempt of an Araldyana Timeline. Both had good and bad sites, but none was perfect for me. I want to tell a (hi)story from Rome to the present day but I also want to be able to go back and change or add stuff if I get a good idea. My map...

  7. How Greek was Egypt?

  8. The Araldyana TL (redux)

  10. Vinlandic Iron

    Could the Vinlanders (or some other pre-columbian inhabitans of Newfoundland) exploit the iron resources of Bell Island? I have no idea how mining works or if the Scandinavians even had the technology but I think the idea of Vinlanders introducing iron to the new world is fascinating.

  12. DiCaprio in Batman Forever (1995)

  13. Nazis and Cloning

    One of the most disturbing and dystopian scenarios of AH is a lasting Nazi empire spanning all of Europe from the Channel to the Ural. Let's just say that happens and from 1950 on they control the most of the continent. How would the Nazis react to the Cloning technology? Would it be...

  14. WI the Yellow River stays in the south

    What if the Yellow River would have never changed it course to the north of the Shandong peninsula in the late 19th century? What would be the effects on Northern and Central China?

  15. Pischi's Germanic Conlang

    I saw the other conlang threads but non of them seemed right for me. So this thread will be a bit different: 1: a proper (mostly) realistic timeline 2: we (or I) will focus more on grammar than vocabulary 3: our base language is Gothic (because it is the closest we get to the East Grmanic...

    What if in the 5th century (as monasteries begun to spread in western Europe) the church (pope, important bishops et.) decides that living far away from the world is a bad idea and monks and nuns should go out in the world and do something less isolate? Let's assume this leads to no...

  19. King Albert of Great Britain

    What if after the death of Queen Victoria Prince Albert Edward decided to honour his mother's wish and to rule as King Albert Edward (OTL: King Edward VII)? After his death his son could also take the name Albert and begin with a naming system like in Sweden. So he would be King Albert II...

  20. What did people know in the 5th century?

    What knowledge did, let's say a blacksmith in Tolosa or a farmer near Mediolanum, have about the past? Did they know who Gaius Julius Ceasar, Kleopatra, Nero, Marc Aurel, Romulus or Alexander the Great were? I am talking here about the mid 5th century before the fall of the Western Empire. Was...
