The 'butterflies' I'm introducing are more or less based on the Medinans not wanting to conquer everything as a brand new religion and allying with the Byzantines. It moves to the west when Byzantium begins appealing to the West after Constantinople warring against the new Middle Eastern states. The larger amount of states and wars also leads to less faith in Christianity among Arameans and Copts whilst Zoroastrians in Persia receive a series of secular rulers. Although I do admit I am trying to take this through a certain direction, I think my butterflies ARE related to the POD.
