Assuming that the Carloginians don't rise as per OTL and there are no empires resulting, leaving the Germanic states to develop into independent kingdoms, could Bavaria then carve an empire out of its surrounding territories? OTL the Bavarians colonized Austria and surrounding areas with the help of the Carloginians and the HRE. Without those influences what can Bavaria accomplish on its own?
The Avars are still floating around, as without the Franks I'm not sure if they would be conquered as quickly as OTL. They could still be around when the Magyars arrive. Then too what happens with the Magyars when they show up and invade the Pannonian basin, which Bavaria will be interested in herself? Will Bavaria be interested in setting Bohemia as a separate state or will the area be a target for colonization after the Magyars destroy Great Moravia?
