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.

Thoughts?
