Hi AHers,
This TL is focused on the development of a Gothic state (Guttstadt) in the Pontic Steppe and Dacia. The PoD is approx. 360 AD, so that is where this TL will properly begin. Although this timeline will be oriented around the Goths, it will also feature in-depth examinations of other parts of the world.
I will reveal, however, that this time period of history is not my specialty. Whilst I have been doing a lot of research on this time period, I would appreciate anyone pointing out any inaccuracies (which would be a result of oversight, not intentional handwavium)!
