    Malê Rising

    I went down some rabbit holes and it seems that southern Greenland does receive enough precipitation that, at least, would place Qinngua Valley as potentially viable as a temperate rainforest. For the moment though, the area is more forest than anything else, probably due to being so close to...

    Malê Rising

    In something that I learned today that is pertinent (and resonant) to the recent updates, Greenland now has its own rainforest growing in a valley with (according to Wikipedia) over 300 plant species multiplying in a single fjord that has seen enough precipitation, sunlight, and relative warmth...

    Malê Rising

    Never thought I would contemplate over long-term environmental and wildlife ethics in an AH board, but this timeline has pleasantly surprised me. I would be the person who would fume forever over the consequences of this vote, putting my choice at the last moment.

    King Theodore's Corsica

    Chiming in with hurrahs for the new update! And I see a foreshadowing conflict between the royalty and the clergy. Interesting...

    Miranda's Dream. ¡Por una Latino América fuerte!.- A Gran Colombia TL

    The Troubled Conga of the U.S continues... Wonder how Canada sees the mess going with their southern neighbour and the rise of Latin America.

    Of Rajahs and Hornbills: A timeline of Brooke Sarawak

    You're in luck! Southeast Asia (and maybe Oceania) is next, and the region is a lot cooler than East Asia in terms of being shooty-shooty, though the area is by no means peaceful. To Japan's credit, it managed to bankroll and conduct their war to such degrees most westerners think are...

    Haha, I originally set out this timeline to prevent such bogging-down from happening (there's a reason why wars and conflicts are mostly skimmed. And why the United States is practically persona non grata). At least now the biggest bump in the Great War is dealt with!

    Kwame Vladimirovich Ulyanov, East Asia and the Third Bubonic Pandemic: A Summary (Red Star Journal: 2021) The bubonic plague changed everything for the East Asian theatre. There had been increasing concern on the spread of infections throughout the Qing Empire, with the government in Peking...

    😌 Well, I have to fit in something that's optimistic to make up for puffing-away a Christmas truce. /s One of the inspirations for the interlude was the transits of Venus in 1761 and 1769, when the British and French (more so the former) allowed astronomers to pass through each other's...

    Thankfully, I'm fine and so are my close ones. But I won't deny that the pandemic and related issues (and internet-stuff) have sapped my motivation to write over the last few months. There's also the the issue of the upcoming East Asia update being so complicated, it's been delaying progress...

    The Revenge of the Crown : An Alternate 1812 and Beyond.

    Did someone call? ;) Yes, despite popular misconceptions (and the pro Malay-Muslim policies of the modern Malaysian government), Sarawak was never majority Muslim for the greater part of their history, and it still isn't today! The notion of Islamic rule stems from the coastal Malay and...

    Thank you! In a timeline where a family can go out and adventure their way to state-building, you can never too many kooky families who think they can do the same. :openedeyewink: Well, if you consider a tiny coral atoll smaller in land size than Vatican City to be colonialism - seriously, the...

    Oooooh, please let there be a Congo/NiKongo analogue that doesn't fall into the typical hellpit that so often characterize the region. It's been a long time since the tropical belt of Africa ever got a break, in any TL.

    And now those entries are updated into the side-stores record of Malê Rising. If only I could get the Stranger in the Tower, but nevermind. :'( Besides that, the main installments list has also been updated with Tatiana's as the latest entry.

    Moonlight in a Jar: An Al-Andalus Timeline

    *rises* What if some imperial power like Kongo rises and starts to call Africa by it's own terms, and everyone else follows due to said imperial power's might, clout, economic power, or cultural prestige? *sinks*
