Barbarossa's Crusade?
What if, during the Third Crusade, Emperor Frederick Barbarossa didn't drown on his way to the Holy Land? His large army, reputed to be the largest army to ever partake in a Crusade, could have, and probably would have, turned the Crusade decisively in the favor of the Europeans. Some ideas below:
 * Barbarossa's success in the Third Crusade secures his support of the Papacy and Northern Italy.
 * All four Crusader states survive or are reborn.
 * Because of the success of the Third Crusade, the Fourth Crusade either never happens or is delayed, increasing the lifespan of the Byzantine Empire.
 * Because of their neccessity in defending the Crusader states, the three knightly military orders manage to survive for longer, although they still lose influence and territory over time, becoming the same organizations that they are today.

Potential Soviet Republics

 * People's Republic of Bulgaria - The Communist leader of Bulgaria proposed that Bulgaria join the Union, but Union leaders refused. If a more expansionist government took control, that could change. Would likely strain relations with Yugoslavia even more due to Tito's dream of a "greater Yugoslavia."
 * Mongolian People's Republic - Same story as above. Would include modern day Mongolia, Buryatia, and Inner Mongolia.
 * Ainu-Japanese Soviet Socialist Republic - Under the assumption that an expansioninst government takes control, such a republic could be established under irredentist pretenses, like the Karelo-Finnish SSR.
 * Manchu Soviet Socialist Republic - Possible republic established if a war with Communist China were to occur. Would likely occupy both Inner and Outer Manchuria, but not part of Inner Mongolia.
 * Prussian Soviet Socialist Republic - Probably the least likely to emerge, but possible should there be a "Human Culture and History Movement" that occurs after First Contact. Would likely occupy Kaliningrad Oblast and maybe Polish Prussia.

Effects of the Soviet Military Coup

 * The military would likely put a prominent member into power after removing Brezhnev, maybe Zhukov.
 * The military might be more expansionist, even if Zhukov is not.
 * The internal dynamics of the Eastern block might collapse. If the Prague Spring succeeds as I plan, then it might ripple through the Warsaw Pact. If the Soviet Union improved its Human rights, the Pact might collapse all together.
 * Soviet Union holds together for many years, but with each new freedom, the Union becomes weaker, perhaps splitting like in OTL.
 * A looser defense pact might be formed, perhaps including Yugoslavia (doubtful) and other former Warsaw Pact nations.
 * While other states in Eastern Europe would follow the Soviets in economic and political freedom, Romania might remain oppressed, perhaps even breaking with the Soviet Union.

Tatar Empire Stuff
Important OTL and ATL cities in the former Tartary The capital of the Tatar Empire, as established after the Treaty of Samarkand, is Saint Theodore's. The royal family is still the Manghut dynasty of old. The currency is the Tatar Kuruş. Presumably, the Democratic People's Republic of Tartary is centered around the city of Sarai and probably uses some sort of communist Ruble.
 * Saint Theodore's - Rostov-on-Don
 * Astrakhan - Astrakhan
 * Obran Osh - "Around the Urals"
 * Alo'osh - Nizhny Novgorod
 * Kazan - Kazan
 * Obrosh - Somewhere in Central Siberia
 * Yoshkar-Ola - Same in OTL
 * Naryan Mar - Somewhere along the Yenisey River
 * Sarai - Volgograd

The Tatar Empire under Roman influence is largely limited to the Black Sea coast. The population is mostly Christian, and the largest three ethnic groups are the Tatar ruling class and the majority Circassian and Saphalqi groups. The Saphalqi Turks are descended from Anatolian Turks that were expelled from Roman territory. Their name comes from the Tatar word "saphalq" which means "those who left," referencing their exodus from Anatolia.

Other Stuff
The Al-Azm dynasty is the ruling family of Syria within the Roman Empire. The family became prosperous merchants and government officials following the collapse of the Damascan Sultanate, and their acumen was well received in Constantinople. The Al-Azm dynasty is one of four non-Christian dynasties ruling a Roman subdivision, the others being the Hafsid dynasty, the Varna dynasty, and the Zevi dynasty. The Al-Azms are Muslim just like the Hafsids, while the Varnas and Zevis are Hindu and Jewish, respectively.

Comunisti - Italian communists and leftists who took control of the city of Pisa, the main center of the Republican movement during the Italian Civil War. The Comunisti were the first real attempt to forge a Communist society in the world, and lasted a year and several months before being destroyed by the Roman military.

Alternate Nomenclature
Naturally, as an alternate timeline, it would be both imaginative and fun to give regions different names.


 * Serica in this timeline refers to what we consider to be East Asia.
 * Asia will refer to Anatolia and the Asian Middle East.
 * Nusantara will be the equivalent of what we consider Indonesia.
 * Anahuac is what we consider Central America and Mexico.

And now that I think about it, this could cause legitimate problems with naming some of the continents, particularly Asia and possibly Africa. I believe Africa will now refer to Tunisia while Ethiopia will refer to the continent, with Abyssinia/Axum taking its place. Asia the continent is yet to be determined.

Prominent Cities by Era (In Progress)
This list will be used to keep track of the major cities by era, mostly cities that deviate from their OTL versions in some way. These deviations can be as simple as a different name or a completely new city that either did not exist in OTL or was otherwise totally irrelevant. Another name to the side indicates the city is alternate in some way, either nomenclature or prominence.

Diadochi and Other Alexandrian Successors (Implemented)
Not entirely sure how this is going to work, I imagine it will be more conflicted than OTL but at the same time I'm really just going off the fly here since stuff has changed.

Diadochi: Other Successors (Non-Greek):
 * Argead Dynasty (Egypt) - Established by Alexander's son after p ossible intervention by Pyrrhus, I'm not too sure.
 * Ptolomaic Dynasty (Mesopotamia/Syria) - Perhaps the remnants of Ptolomy's realm after he is ousted from Egypt, I'm not too certain.
 * Seleucid Dynasty (Persia) - Regardless of the other two, the Seleucids will definitely maintain Persia at the least.
 * Attalid Dynasty (Anatolia) - Pretty likely I should think.
 * Antigonid Dynasty (Macedonia) - Maybe, depends on how successful Pyrrhus is.
 * Aeacid Dynasty (Epirus, Southern Italy, Macedonia) - Will exist, maybe owns Macedon like in OTL.
 * Nabataean Kingdom (Arab)
 * Kingdom of Cappadocia (Anatolian)
 * Kingdom of Armenia (Armenian)

Evolution of the Roman Republic
The way I plan on the Roman Republic to transition into an Empire, and a large one at that, is somewhat similar yet somewhat different than what actually happened. I've spoken with Scraw on this, and given the alternate circumstances of this timeline, I suspect it will be fine, but again, more opinions would be best.

First, it is important to consider that the relationship between Carthage and Rome does not develop the same way as it did in OTL. Because of the greater success of Alexander and Pyrrhus as his successor in Magna Graeca, Carthage and Rome soon develop into an alliance in order to drive Pyrrhus back in Sicily and Southern Italy respectively. They soon become strong allies, and as such they begin to emphasize that their founders were once lovers who stood strong against the gods themselves.

However, there can be only one power in the Western Mediterranean, and issues soon begin to develop over trade and territorial issues as per OTL. This complicates their relationship, as the two nations feel somewhat betrayed by the other and the wars most certainly don't help this. However, a larger portion of the political leadership on both sides hope that a political solution can be achieved, although it readily becomes apparent that can't be the case.

By the time the Second Punic War rolls around, Hannibal, now King of Carthage, attacks Rome, hoping to make Rome understand its folly in trying to rule so much. Scipio Africanus still defeats him more or less like OTL, but in ATL he may actually become the first Dictator-for-Life because of his victory (he was offered the position in OTL but turned it down). In either case, he quickly rises to ensure the Scipio family is the dominant family in the Republic, as they are seen as the only ones who could possibly reach peace with Carthage through either diplomacy or war.

Scipio's son Scipio Aemilianus (distant relative in OTL) defeats Carthage similar to OTL, but mindful of their once historical relationship and heeding the advice of his relative in the Senate Publius Cornelius Scipio Nasica Corculum decides to spare the city and the majority of its inhabitants from Roman fury. In an effort to heal the wounds of war as well as consolidate his own political power in the race to become the next Scipii leader of Rome, he marries into the Carthaginian royal family and takes the King's only daughter as his wife. This action is considered to be somewhat scandalous back in Rome, but Scipio is not in a position to be challenged.

The Scipii remain the major power brokers in Rome for some time until the rise of Marius and Sulla, who effectively remove the Scipii as the center of political power. Marius rules for a time but just like OTL he is defeated by Sulla, who becomes the next Dictator-for-Life until his early retirement. Shortly afterwards, a triumvirate soon develops between the traditional three. Caesar rapidly becomes the most powerful, using his relationship with Crassus to accumulate wealth while his descent from the Scipii helped bolster his political power. Soon enough, the triumvirate collapsed and Caesar (surprise surprise) emerged the victor, becoming the third Dictator-for-Life.

Breakup of the Roman Empire
How exactly the Roman Empire breaks apart is currently unknown, however it will split into four parts, as detailed below:
 * Northern Roman Empire - Roman Britain, Northern Gallia, and Germania, centered around Colchester and Aachen. First of the four to fall, in this case to invading Germanic peoples.
 * Western Roman Empire - Roman Italy, Spain, Southern Gallia, Illyria, and Morocco, centered around Rome. Eventually loses Illyria to invading Goths and Vandals.
 * Eastern Roman Empire - Roman Greece, Dacia, Balkans, Anatolia, Caucasus, and Syria/Mesopotamia, centered around Constantinople and Antioch. Suffers considerable attacks from Vandals and Persians as well as nomadic peoples like the Huns, Avars, Slavs, and Magyars.
 * Southern Roman Empire - Roman Africa, Egypt, Judea, Nubia, and Arabia, centered around Alexandria. Perhaps the most difficult one to decide upon how it falls, unless I decide to incorporate Islam into the mix. Perhaps becomes pagan again similar to Julian the Apostate and battles Eastern Rome for control over Jerusalem.

Great Germanic Migration
The Germanic Migration occurs because of the Hun onslaught from the east, pressuring the Germanic tribes to move into the disorganized Roman Empire. This migration eventually causes the Northern Roman Empire to collapse and puts considerable pressure on the Western and Eastern Roman Empires eventually seperating Europe into the Celtic and Germanic north from the Roman and Hellenic south.

The various Germanics do not unite into one single political unit until the rise of Charlemagne, who unites all of the tribes into the Germanic Empire, which does not last long after his death. The new duchies and kingdoms would not unite again until the modern era. The tribes settle more or less as follows:
 * Franks - As the most powerful tribe, the Franks take northern Gallia and Belgica for themselves, including the former Northern Roman capital of Aachen. It is this tribe that Charlemagne hails from.
 * Burgundians - The Burgundians manage to make their way to OTL Burgundy, where they form a small but prosperous duchy.
 * Anglians - The Anglians fail in their attempt to colonize the Celtic Isles. As a result, they are driven south along the continent, settling in OTL Netherlands and northern Belgium, forming the greatest naval power Northern Europe will ever see when the Vikings are past their prime.
 * Saxons - Just like the Anglians, the Saxons fail to conquer Britain. They manage to move somewhat west though, and by the time the migrations are over dominate northern Germany, forming a vanguard against the advancing Slavs.
 * Allemani and Other Tribes - These tribes more or less do what they did in OTL and settle in southern German and western Austria, forming the region of Swabia, a powerful military state.
 * Goths - The Goths take up the offer of the Romans and settle in northern Illyria as in OTL, before taking the land for themselves. The invasion of the Slavs and Magyars put considerable pressure on the Goths, who as a result are forced to occupy Slovenia and eastern Austria. They are considered the southern defence to the Saxons in the north.
 * Lombards - Because of the fighting power of the Goths and Swabians, the Lombards never manage to break into Italy. They settled in OTL Bohemia, with their city of Prague as a major defence for Germanic Europe against Slavs and Magyars.
 * Suevi - The Suevi, more or less like OTL, get a jump ahead of the other German tribes in moving against the various Roman states. They blow past the Northern Romans and head towards Spain as per OTL, only to be turned back by the Western Romans at considerable cost. They end up in OTL Brittany and western Normandy, establishing a state that eventually becomes the ATL Netherlands to Anglia's Britain.
 * Vandals - The Vandals move past the weakened Romans in southern Gaul, establishing their own realm within almost all of Hispania. They maintain their dominance there for several decades/centuries before ultimately being defeated by a coalition of the remaining Roman Empires.
 * Gepids - The Gepids break off from the Goths shortly after the Hunnic invasions, defeating the Huns and forcing them from Hungary before expanding into the southern Balkans, straining the Eastern Roman Empire. They are ultimately crushed by the Avars and Slavs, and whatever remains of them are absorbed by these peoples and the Magyars after them.

Formation of the Celtic Isles
Celtic culture had been in serious retreat ever since Roman conquest and subsequent assimilation into Latin culture. The formation of the Northern Roman Empire offered some hope for Celts to survive on the continent but those hopes were dashed upon the invasion of the Germanic tribes, who settled over Celtic land and assimilated them completely.

However, Nothern Roman control in the Celtic Isles was broken earlier by rival pretenders and a general disintigration of Imperial Roman authority. Powerful Romano-British warlords were able to beat back the invading Angles and Saxons and establish their own political states that eventually took after the emerging Germanic and Latin duchies and kingdoms of the continent. Three main regions emerged as a result, as detailed below:
 * Albion - OTL England, Wales, and Cornwall, this region is the most divided yet the most developed following the expulsion of the Romans and the defeat of the Saxons and Angles. Eventually, just like OTL, the region merges into the Kingdom of Albion and perhaps proceeds to conquer the entire Celtic Isles.
 * Scotland - Located in the far north, Scotland had only been under complete Roman control for a short time. The Picts are probably assimilated by the invading Scots, who form a decentralized kingdom that becomes a major rival of Albion in the Medieval period.
 * Ireland - More or less the same as OTL, the region progresses a bit faster than OTL because of greater contact with post-Roman Britain and what not. The region is still divided for sometime between the five states, and Mead may survive in this timeline.

The Third Faith
Naturally, religion will be different in Guardians if only because most major religions have their main formative years after the PoD. After a long consideration about the fate of Islam and what, if any, religion should take its place, I think I have a solution that will manage to be sufficiently ATL while at the same time unique. (Looking at you, St. Mohammad)

To that end, the three major world religions will be Christianity, Buddhism, and Zoroastrianism. Obviously each one will be different in some regard. I suspect Christianity will be largely the same, perhaps will a few small additions to doctrine, while the divisions will likely be different, at least territorially. Buddhism will be different territorially, as there will be a Buddhist state in the nominally Bengal/East India region. I imagine it will be slightly different doctrinally as a result, but at the present I don't know enough about it to say.

That leaves the final branch of the trinity. Zoroastrianism always seemed like an interesting religion, albeit one largely consigned to historical contexts following its OTL fall from grace. Without Islam in Guardians, Zoroastrianism can fill most of the void that it leaves behind. Although much modern Zoroastrianism was pretty much restricted to within families, the more ancient kind had no restrictions and moved more freely. From its base in Persia, the religion can spread to parts of the Caucasus, Mesopotamia, Eastern Arabia, Northwest India, Central Asia, and perhaps parts of Africa, depending on how overseas the Persians or Arabs decide to go.

Some thoughts on this below:
 * Holy City - Balkh
 * Scripture - Avesta
 * Place of Worship - Atroshan or Fire Temple
 * High Religious Figure - Dastūr
 * Middle Religious Class - Mobad
 * Lowest Religious Class - Hērbad

Chinese Dynasties
Because I am particular and difficult, I have chosen to not abide by the traditional standard of toponyms that early Chinese dynasties had used, instead using a single syllable word to describe each one. For future dynasties, here are some options provided to me that I could possibly use:
 * Qiang - "Strong" Probably the one at China's Classical height, faces Rome at the River Talas
 * Fu - "Rich" Undetermined
 * Yi - "Righteous" Probably the one formed by the Duke of Yansheng, the descendant of Confucius
 * An - "Secure" Probably one formed after a major period of civil war and instability.

Diseases in the New World
One question that I've always considered are ways to make the natives of the New World, and in particular the nations of Mesoamerica, more resilient to the oncoming attacks of the Europeans. Metal weapons existed for some native societies (looking at you, Inca and Tarascans), so that shouldn't be a significant difference that I can exploit. Their lack of animals suitable for other work can't really be addressed with the current POD and I don't want ASB anyway.

However, the prime culprate are the various diseases that the Europeans brought with them. Having more pack animals would expand the diseases the natives face and perhaps help their immune systems, but again, no ASB. Hence, I have crafted the below solution, which I think should address the problem in a way that suits my purposes.
 * Viking sailors (perhaps Irish sailors, but 99% chance of Vikings) establish small settlements/trading posts along the Vinlandic (Newfoundland) coast, as they did in OTL.
 * Perhaps they also sail a bit south, having a few settlements in OTL Nova Scotia.
 * For reasons currently unknown, perhaps greater Danish/Swedish participation, the Vikings stick around in the New World slightly longer than OTL. Obviously they must still return/starve/die of exposure, but that doesn't mean they can't fulfill this one important purpose.
 * Because of this greater contact with the natives, some diseases migrate over along with them. Smallpox will likely be the big one, although others of considerable importance may migrate over as well. These diseases will then move south, reaching the southern Andes by more or less 50 years after the Vikings consolidate there. Millions of natives will die, just like OTL, but the fact that this happens 500 years or so before the rest of the Europeans arrive gives them plenty of time to recover.

Amazonian Civilizations?
When the Spanish, led by Fransisco de Orelliano (or something like that) first navigated the Amazon, they reported advanced civilizations living in the rainforest. Recent discoveries of petroglyphs and whatnot provide some basis for these reports. My idea is to give South America, named Atlantea/Atlantis, more cultural diversity and nation-states than just the mighty Inca Empire, who the Europeans initially believe to be the remnants of the mighty Atlantean Empire.

My idea is that there will be two main areas of cultural Amazonian development. The river delta will be dominated by a lesser advanced but more developed Marajoara culture, where much of the region's "Amazon" culture will come from. The Cambeba people will be much of the demographic stock where upper Amazon states rise. The upper river will be dominated by city-states formed from a merging of the area's "Amazon" culture with the culture and advanced development of the Chachapoya culture, who flee into the rainforest to avoid the conquest of the Incas, and merge with the peoples there to develop their own culture.

The result are three distinct areas. The Incas dominate the Andean mountain range, possessing a developed civilization akin to the Roman Empire, with a centralized government and powerful military ruling over various different ethnic groups and cultures. Perhaps more advanced than OTL, with bronze or iron weapons. The Amazons rule the upper Amazon, yet are divided into several city-states. They are not advanced as the Incas, yet prevent Inca conquest through fierce determination and the naturally harmful effects of the rainforest. At the delta are the Delta peoples, who are organized only by several ruling chiefs. They are the source of the matriarchal culture of the Amazons.

Seven Cities of Antillia
According to European legend, when the Muslim Moors invaded Visogothic Spain seven bishops fled across the sea with their treasure and congregations. They settled in a land called Antillia and they each constructed a city full of luxury. When the Europeans first arrived in the Americas this myth led to some of the searches for native cities of great wealth.

Obviously this land won't actually exist, but in this timeline the Europeans first think North America is the land of Antillia itself and believe that the seven cities are still around. While I don't know who will invade Spain in my timeline to make this work, I do think some invasion will happen and the net result will be the same. When the Europeans arrive in North America around 1500, they think it is Antillia and a great land of wealth ruled by Christian rulers will greet them. They are in for quite a shock.

Instead of the paradise they expect, they instead enter into a realm of war and, in their eyes, satanic worship and cruelty. Native polytheistic religions worshipping gods that are half-man and half-serpent through bloodletting and ritual sacrifice horrifies them beyond measure. While they soon launch a crusade against most of the states in the area in order to purge this otherworldly sin, they still hold to the idea that these are the same seven cities of Antillia. Instead, they reckon that the bishops died and their people lost their way to evil, or that the bishops constructed their cities and were soon overrun by hordes of satantic barbarians.

As such, here is my list for what the Europeans would consider to be the Seven Cities based on real cities and the contemporary geopolitical situation in Antillia at the time of contact. Note that Cuzco and the Incas are considered to be the remnants of Atlantis by the Europeans and thus is a completely different story.

 * Principalities of Wales
 * High Lordship of Ireland
 * Lordship of Ulster
 * Lordship of Connacht
 * Lordship of Meath
 * Lordship of Leinster
 * Lordship of Munster

Not sure how all of this will come about. I guess alternate routes of travel and perhaps a different breakup of the Roman Empire in the west will be keep to determine what happens here. The only ones I am unsure about are Anglia, Lombardia, and Gothia; the rest are fairly simple and similar to OTL. Not sure about the Huns though, they might have to go.
