OK, this will be a discussion thread on an upcoming project that I am planning right now. It will be about an Alanic presence in the Crimea, and how the Alans will become the dominant force ITPTL (in this proposed timeline). Here are the questions that I am raising so everyone can answer:
1) What writing system should the Alans use if they would gain control of the Bosphorus Kingdom, and which alphabet should they base it on?
2) Could the Alans reform their pagan faith, while drawing from the influences of Roman paganism, Christianity and/or Persian Zoroastrianism. Or alternatively, would Arian Christianity suit the Alans?
3) How big could an Alanic state grow?
