    Threadmarks: Chapter Two: Seiner Majestät

    Chapter Two: Seiner Majestät His Majesty's Throne Room was quite a sight to behold. It was eerily minimalistic while also conveying a strange sense of royal splendor at the same time. Usually when a person thinks of a Throne Room the first thing that comes to mind is a large brightly colored...

    Threadmarks: Chapter One: Now What?

    Chapter One: Now What? The glare of artificial light almost blinded me as I slowly regained consciousness. Despite how well it was integrated, I still preferred natural sunlight to this. But it was our only source of light in this Quincy Kingdom walled off from even the sun itself. This...

    WI the Franco-Prussian War went the other way?

    In otl he seemed very much in love with his wife. Additionally unlike with Josephine she was faithful to him. Maximillian and FJ were also at odds with each other at times so he wouldn't really be affecting much within the empire aside for maybe providing another moderating more liberal advice...

    How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love the Auswählen Prologue: Are We The Baddies? I never could get used to how cold and foreboding this place was. Up until last night, I was a Soldat, a mere foot soldier serving under His Majesty's Sternritters. Fortunately I was under someone more...

    Threadmarks: Cover Art For My Aegon II SI Story

    Here's some cover art I made for my Aegon II SI story. I based it off Aegon II's appearance in the show except I added more rubies to Aegon's crown, some royal regalia, and Ermine furs which serve to emphasize his more royal status. While I liked how the crown looked in the show, I felt it was...

    Armchair General's DonbAss Derailed Discussion Thread (Topics Include History, Traps, and the Ongoing Slavic Civil War plus much much more)

    Elon's being a dickhead tbh. This was the same sort of outburst he had where he called one of the rescuers who saved a group of Thai schoolchildren trapped in a cave a "pedo guy." This was all because they rejected his proposal to send a submarine to help with the relief efforts in. Honestly he...

    Rest In Peace 🇬🇧 Queen Elizabeth II Passing

    Yeah. It feels weird honestly without the Queen. Speaking as an American, she was such an omnipresent figure on the British and world stage. It almost felt like she was an institution that had been there since time immemorial. I know everyone made jokes about her being immortal, but for her to...

    Alternate History Ideas and Discussion

    They were historically open to these ideas. The problem was that with the Palaiologian Renaissance while there was a brief period of cultural and economic renewal, the "fedualization" (its an anachronistic term, but the best possible one we have) of the Pronoia essentially made it so that the...

    Russia(gate/bot) Russia-Ukraine War Political Discussion

    This is literally the old card the Russians played back during the Tsardom with the Russification efforts. They literally banned the Catholic Church in Poland, Polish language, and even took away the name of "Poland" redubbing it as the "land of the Vistula River." Stalin also used these same...

    Nah not really tbh. Greece was nowhere near strong enough for that to occur. And by that point, it would have been counterproductive to its goals of expanding West and regaining Constantinople. There was quite a heavy amount of Greek influence within those lands. In urban centers like...

    Yeah I plan on incorporating this into some of my own tl as well. Greece with these sorts of borders would definitely be the hegemon of the Balkans, and would probably be capable enough to gain the Anatolian coastline on the Eastern side of the Hellispont. As for Constantinople, I'd say that...

    The map here is more detailed, than the other maps I've posted, thanks to the research I've done during the hiatus period of this tl that I was forced to go on due to irl circumstances. I've added some other post-Roman successor states and corrected some of the errors I made on the old map...

    A map of the Roman world during the Anarchy of the 13th Century.

    Its more of an ethnographic map showing potential theoretical claims. The red dashed line pattern for example indicates the various Turkish settlements presents in the Balkans. I don't think Albania would ever be that powerful considering that Serbia existed as a semi-independent tributary...

    This was a proposed Greater Greece Map at the Congress of Berlin showcasing Greece's territorial claims prior to the Treaty of Berlin.

    Though this does raise some interesting questions. How does Guiscard manage to avoid the wrath of both the Byzantines and the Holy Roman Empire.? The HRE was not a joke during this era and actually was more centralized here than France. Hm...another interesting scenario you could go with is...
