Hey guys, it's been a while since I posted in my Norman Sicily TL The Baptized Sultans, and there's a reason for that. I've gotten bored with, and also stuck on what I should do next, and over frustrated with what I've created so far.
So I'm thinking of starting over with a different point of divergence. The only problem is that I'm having trouble coming up with a good PoD to ensure a surviving, fairly prosperous independent Sicily, possibly under the Normans, or under whatever dynasty comes next. I know that simple survival of the dynasty beyond William II or Tancred would just to have their sons survive, but I feel like there's some structural/geopolitical problems in Sicily that make it difficult for them to survive. In any case, the more dramatic the PoD, the better. I'd just like ideas to help me brainstorm.
