Lo, the Nobles Lament, the Poor Rejoice

[Ganesha]

I'm looking forward to new updates for this! As interesting as it has been so far, I feel this TL is on the cusp of even more unique developments. I'm a big fan of the history of democracy and seeing a POD that introduces it sooner is fascinating.

It really is. I'm not sure how far the timeline can go before the butterflies get unmanageable. Jonathan is such a good writer that I don't think he'll be able to provide enough plausibility and detail after a certain point - but it'll still be a great TL.

Cheers,
Ganesha

I'm planning to end it 100 years after the first update, with the end of the First Intermediate (or in TTL the First Transitional) and the establishment of the Second Kingdom. There will then be an epilogue in the present day, which will probably be pure fantasy but will hopefully also be fun.

For those of you who remember this thread: I do plan to resurrect it soon and continue the timeline through the first century after the POD, but in the meantime, I've written a story which takes place at the sacred games of Min some 65 years after the foundation of the republic, and which you can read here. I've put it in the writers' forum because I'm not sure that all the events referred to in it will ultimately become canon, and also because I may want to rework it into a more conventional mystery story and submit it. As always, I like few things better than talking about my stories, so comments and criticism are welcome.
