    Threadmarks: Introduction

    In this timeline I will be exploring the idea of a more independent and functional Kingdom of Norway throughout the 15th Century. This is my first real timeline, so hopefully the quality increases as I write. Updates will be very random, and mostly when I feel like writing. Reviews and feedback...

  11. The Undying Empire: A Trebizond Timeline

    Just finished reading up on this. Got to say, this is probably my favourite tl currently. Looking forward to the crisis unfolding and whether The Trapezuntine Empire will prosper or perish. Even though both outcomes will be enjoyable to read!

  12. On the Western Fjords and under the Midnight Sun: A Norway TL

    Well, you just massively changed the political landscape of Norway, but with Olav (and Magnus) still alive, the ramifications won't be that large. But it will interesting to see how the duo of Olav and Eystein (or Øystein) functions as Kings, and if the former will die, seeing how this post...

  13. On the Western Fjords and under the Midnight Sun: A Norway TL

    Please, do continue. I'm always interested in a Norway tl. (Subscribed) Good that you focus on one of the more unknown, but plausible Norway pov At this time in history, one can argue that Norway is at its height of power pre-civil war period, and have a larger chance at survival and increasing...

  16. Lords of the North Sea

    You are quite correct there. And yeah he was a badass in the ten years that he reigned, going right, left, down and up. Now think what he could have done had he ruled for another 20 years? Hahah, yeah, the Norse loved to name others which lived in their time, or before them. I mentioned for...

    Threadmarks: First Chapter

    After getting seriously bored to death by my Norwegian language Curriculum this year, my mind quickly wandring over to thinking about alternate history and different timelines. One thing led to another, and an idea formed in my head, one which I could not dispense off, and thus my second attempt...

  18. When the Raven Flies

    Just an idea that you can work on, the end of the 18th century was known in Norway as the "Golden years". The time before the British Blockade in 1808 saw the increase of shipping and commerce done by Norwegians. Norway has vast natural resources which can be used and is has a terrain well...

  19. What if Bismarck/Prussia made no concessions over Luxembourg and Limburg in 1867?

    Prussia after the war with Austria in 1866 would most likely win any engagement against the badly supplied and organized French Army. It might not be a "Lets invade France, take Paris, crown our emperor in Versailles" Esque kind of war finished in one year, but the Prussian army at this point...

  20. WI: Crusaders Failed to Take Constantinople in 1203-4

    Well, we would have a Crusade which would be like any of the others which passed through Byzantium. Ravaging of the countryside etc. but hopefully if all goes well they will travel to Egypt as soon as possible, though since the Empire is so weak at this point in time we might also see the...
