The Varangians will gain notoriety, and they will basically form a semi-hereditary caste (to which other hardy folk will join in due time).@Witteric of the West Are the Saxon exiles going to be of any note? Because as I understand there actually was an exodus of Englishmen to the Roman Empire after the Norman invasion, and that for a while they (or them and the Danes) dominated the Varangian Guard.
Won't be relevant to the story, and I'd personally assume that the Eastern Roman Empire was not taken away but copied and pasted.Excellent story,good to see it here.Could you made one chapter about how Earth without Byzantinum fared ? in my opinion,Ottomans would never create empire, and Hungarian kingdom would never fall.Maybe Bulgarian and Serb states,too.
Moscow without byzantine princess would never be treated as Byzantine successor,too.
This is one of the things that I hope to expand upon when compared to the AH or SB versions of this story. Although it will come up when we get to see actual clashes of religionsWhat are the Church's theologians perspectives on where they are in a theological sense? A different earth or different world entirely? How does this affect their theology? Especially say where Eschatology is concerned.
We'll find out.Dark powers and Demons-Does the Church in Constantinople see Stygai and Asshai and the malevolent entities in and around them as say, the gates of hell itself? With the Lord of Light being the same as the god of the world?
See aboveDo Church theologians have explanations as to why they were ISOTed? (They wouldn't know they were copied and pasted).
See above[Spoilers] Was Euron seen as an Antichrist figure, or a prefigure of the Antichrist? A sort of anti John the Baptist?
Didn't mention it in the original, we'll see what happens.Was Sothoryos ever explored in depth? Contact with the Summer Isles made?
That's for the EpilogueHave Byzantine good enough ships to go to Ulthos and come back ?
The Sassanids used elephants, prominently in the armies of Shapur II and they would be used by later Sassanian Emperors during sieges, mounting turrets on their backs to have archers shoot above the walls. On the battlefield itself they were not used as often as, say, by the Carthaginians, but they are recorded to have been deployed by the armies of Yazdegerd III during the Arab Invasions, so it's likely that the Romans have faced War Elephants in various occasions since. (the last truly confirmed field battle with elephants against a Roman Army would be during Julian's Persian Campaign)Is this the first time roman soldiers have fought elephants in over a thousand years?
Respect. The GC is the only fighting force in Essos that truly fights in a way that can pose a major threat to a Roman Army when faced in equal numbers.Well I knew that, so its what 800 years since? Or 600 years at least?
What are the Romans' opinion on the GC as a fighting force? Do they disdain it? Or respect it?
