3. The post takes pace in SE 88 [860 CE]. The development of Dyflin has diverged further from OTL. Already more populous and powerful than its historical counterpart due to the events of Dyflinarskiri 1, it has flourished still further in the absence of OTL's Danish attacks. By this point, Dyflinarskiri (the kingdom of Dublin) is the dominant power in Leinster and a major player in Irish politics as a whole.

Top-down conversion to Submission is starting to occur among those Irish who have found it advisable to ally with the king of Dyflinarskiri. This, and the attractions of playing divide and conquer among the Christian Irish, has moderated the fanatical Outsider interpretation of Submission in Ireland.

On the other hand, Ireland's outdated but still widespread reputation as an arena for purist war against the Christian is attractive to the extreme Submissive from further east who have not accepted the Edict of Toleration of Erik III, and the established Norse of Dyflin face the challenge of channeling the energies of new arrivals in politically useful directions. One tactic is to divert the especially troublesome to Limerick, which has the advantage of being on the opposite side of the country.

5. The Javanese are believed to have visited northern Australia in OTL, and I'm guessing that the increased volume of sea trade will prompt more intensive exploration. The Argyle diamond mines are close to the coast and located near a river, so in my opinion it isn't beyond the bounds of possibility that Javanese explorers might discover them. They might not find the big deposits at first, but there should be enough loose diamonds to keep them digging. I doubt, though, that there will be any large-scale settlement of Australia at this point, because the areas known to the Javanese will be desert.

4. Nobles, as a rule, like to have weak rulers, and this is no less the case in England than elsewhere. In the case of Edgar III, his father for whatever reason, had not had him elected upon birth and so upon Derrick II's death there was a real vacancy. Edgar was chosen for being the weaker of the three sons, but not so weak as to screw up the state which is what they feared of Edward. Upon Edgar's death they had no choice but to elect the strongest brother, Arthur to the position of Regent, and quickly regretted the decision.

1. This is another Ananite custom borrowed from rabbinic Judaism, possibly due to ignorance of its origin. Among the Ananites, however, the practice of freeing a slave to complete a *minyan* (ritual quorum of ten) is quite different in character from OTL. On the very few occasions when rabbis did this in OTL, it was done for the sake of the observance rather than the slave. In contrast, by the third century, it is common for the Ananites of India to invite a slave to a deliberately deficient *minyan* as a form of manumission. Not only does this practice invest the manumission ceremony with religious significance, but it ensures that there will be reputable witnesses.

1. Speaker Frederick I: Frederick was the third son of Derrick of York and forced into the church in order to avoid any troubles with the succession (England had a tradition that anyone who served in the Holy Thing could not inherit land or title from their fathers). Frederick, who was a great deal like his father in many ways, put his energies into gaining power within the Holy Thing. In 424 he entered into the ranks of the Holy Thing, by 432 he was its most powerful member and by 436 he had been elected as Speaker.

4. This is roughly as described by Alan Kellogg -- small and slowly declining Jewish communities that will disappear by the middle fourth century. The Jews of China were actually called "Removers of Tendons" in OTL, and the community assimilated out of existence in much the same way as described here.

3. All right, I'm going out on a limb here. In OTL, we'd be about 65 years into the Northern Song dynasty. The formation of a Turkish state in Transoxiana in the mid-second century, however, is going to affect China by the beginning of the third -- Turkish irredentism will be greater, if nothing else. I'm guessing that the changes will be enough to butterfly the Song out. Instead, the dynasty furthest from the Turks -- the Liao -- will unite northern China around SE 215 [987 CE], giving the Five Dynasties time to stretch into seven. The process of unification in southern China will be slower due to the need to defend the northwest frontier against Turkish invasion and will be driven more from within; by SE 225 [997 CE], the Ten Kingdoms will resolve themselves into three, with Wuyue being the strongest. One or the other will eventually unify China, although there's always the danger that the Turkish mercenaries that all the Chinese kingdoms are using by Benjamin's time will stage a coup.

I'm not sure how many of the Song cultural changes will happen in the Submission Timeline. The decline of the aristocracy was already well under way during the interregnum and will probably continue. The process of bureaucratization also began under the Tang, although it may not proceed as fast with government on a smaller scale. The wars in the north will still bring an influx of population, and advanced agricultural methods, to the southern kingdoms. I'd *like* the artistic and literary flowering of the early Song period to happen, but I'm not sure -- on the one hand, court poetry was important during the interregnum, but on the other, the conditions might not be right to create a class of scholar-artists. There are four Chinese kingdoms at this point, though, and they might develop different artistic schools.

I'm going to need some help with China. This isn't an area of the world that I know well, and I really don't feel qualified to predict what will happen next. I'd like some knowledgeable criticism -- and yes, Carlos, this means you.

"Vikings!" FN1

He ran at top speed back to his village, which was soon almost empty of villagers.

Everyone inside the dark, smoky room had their eyes fixed on the door. It was flung open. After a moment's silence, the mountainous blond man in the doorway said in a loud voice:

"We've come because we heard about the harp!"

"So your man beat his skull in with it?" asked Ivarr.

The Dane did not answer. Instead he asked, "What did he call me?"

"Dub-Gaill. It's what they call you. The Black Foreigners. It's not an insult -- I think it's a hair color thing. So it's true that your man killed the Yrlander with his own harp?"

"The scum was playing it while singing the words of Ragnar!"

"Well, killing him was a solution."

"It is blasphemous to treat the words of the Prophet as ... as *music!*" FN2

"The Yrlanders are a musical people."

"You are going to allow this?"

"Look, he wasn't here in Dyflin. He was one of the Mac Dúnlainge, and in case you haven't managed to understand what he's saying, Cerball here is not a happy man."

"He should be. Had he truly Submitted, he would have killed the blasphemer himself. He would have strung him up by his intestines on the tallest tree in the land so that all could see..."

Ivarr tried to interrupt, but the Dane had hit his stride.

"...Thórgestr, peace be on his memory, yes, what would he think, what would he feel to see how you of Dyflin behave, just these scant years after his glorious martyrdom. You allow, no I think you welcome it, this disgusting sham of Submission. And more, you are friends with this Flann person, and he has not even Submitted at all..."

Ivarr managed to get in a word.

"Flann may not have Submitted, but he *has* killed two thousand of the Uí Néill. He is a reliable ally. He hates Maél Sechnaill as no-one else does. Maél drowned his brother..."

"In a lake. Yes, I heard. But he is no Submissive. Next you will have the Vinéill themselves drinking on the Thingmote!"

"As it happens, I am expecting word from Aéd mac Néill quite soon, and perhaps he will visit some day. But in any case, you will hand over the man who killed the Yrlander to me so that Cerball can see him dead, and then you will leave."

"You would do this! You would turn on your brother in Submission!"

"There are more of the Yrlanders than there are of us. And there are a *lot* more Dyflinar than there are your men. As I was saying, you will go away, and you will not go to Vikingaló, or Veigsfjörthr, or Vethrafjörthr, or..."

"You would have us leave Yrland entirely!"

"No. You *can* go to Hlymrekr."

The Dane glared at him for a moment, then stomped out. Ivarr bent down to scratch his favorite dog behind the ears, then muttered to himself before turning back to Cerball mac Dúnlainge.

"Foreigners!" FN3

2. In OTL, this city is known as Zamboanga, which is an obvious Spanish corruption of the original Malay name. Zamboanga is known to have been a trading center as early as the 13th century OTL; in the Submission Timeline, the greater volume of sea trade and the Japanese settlements/invasions described by Alan Kellogg will lead to earlier growth of Filipino market towns.

1. I'm cheating a bit here. From my understanding, escrima as a stick-fighting form didn't develop until the Spanish period, when the colonial government banned Filipinos from carrying edged weapons. I gave the Mindanao peasants of the Submission Timeline a similar reason to develop stick fighting at an earlier date.

2. This is intended to start the Submission Timeline on the road to a Norse-dominated Ireland, which despite the importance of the Hiberno-Norse, is not all that easy. In OTL, the Norse in Ireland were comparatively few in number and their permanent presence largely a matter of urban trading centers. Internal disunity and rapid Christianization led swiftly to the absorption of the Hiberno-Norse into Irish politics, although they remained a distinct cultural entity for centuries. In this TL, Submission prevents Christianization, but that's not automatically a plus, leading as it will to more substantial attempts to drive them out on the part of the numerically superior Irish, especially as these Outsiders are really not congenial neighbours.

So the grounding assumption of the above is that their fanatical Outsider Submissiveness enables the Norse to cooperate and concentrate their efforts at their points of greatest success in OTL, especially Dublin -- known in this TL by its Norse name, Dyflin. Effort is shifted away especially from Ulster, the area of weakest Norse influence and least success of OTL.

More specifically, instead of hanging around and being killed by Maél Sechlainn (in Giraldus' version -- alas, almost certainly unhistorical -- by means of a squad of crack Uí Néill transvestite hitmen), Turgéis (perhaps "Thórgestr" in Old Norse) joins the Dyflin settlement. Specifically, he founds a settlement at the same site as the tenth century Norse foundation that was in OTL the ancestor of modern Dublin. But in this TL the earlier ninth century settlement at Kilmainham is never wiped out by the Irish, but is instead supplemented and eventually replaced by Turgéis's settlement.

Blathmacc, in this TL, was not martyred on Iona -- rather he was converted to Submission rather after the manner of the Stockholm Syndrome. Authr and he have their little conversation in SE 73 [845 CE], at the very end of the ultra-Outsider period. In "reality," all of these personalities would be butterflied out of existence, of course -- but fleshing out Irish history of the ninth century involves so much exercise of what W. S. Ferguson delicately called the "reconstructive imagination" that it hardly matters.

Anticipation

She signed as she looked at the door and saw no one was there yet. She set up the oxygen tanks to make it easier to change out when they ran out. Then she propped a chair nearby so she could be seen through the window on the sealed door. She calmed her breathing down to make her oxygen last longer. Then Aello held a tranquil gun in her hand in case she was doomed. She planned on tranquilizing herself a lethal dose to avoid the worst case scenario. She sat patiently as she stared out the window into the corridor.

*Going inside, he found a storage locker, opened it and found no supplies. Not even a discarded bolt or used washer. He walked over to the emergency backup generator and found it had been turned off. He looked it over, checked gauges and started it up. Immediately, he found all pressure levels normal and only a slight loss of output power. He checked the main control panel and found life support was still low but, had stabilized. He checked pressure containment and found Medical and the Bridge still air tight. He diverted power to those 2 rooms, so they had full power and heat.*

*The intercom suddenly sparked to life: "Devron, La-loyd, I have movement, may be survivors, so be careful. Converge on me, towards the bow, in case I need back up." Thinking again, he added "La-loyd, that means stop what you're doing and come to where I am, now. "*

*"Roger boss, power to bridge and medical restored temporarily as those are the only 2 air tight rooms at the moment, and I am on my way." Thomas drew his weapon, and quickly headed for the bow. As he turned each corner, he turned quickly and with his weapon at the ready. Making sure to remember they were looking for survivors and not Reavers.*

Aello then heard some voices on the intercom, despite the bad static on them. Then she felt the temperature and air flow change. Despite the somewhat fuzzy message on the coms she figured there was a new crew on the ship and one of them fixed the life support in the Med Bay and possibly the bridge if she heard it right. This meant that they were not Reavers which eased her mind a lot since being Reaver Bait was a bad way to go. The names De#ron, La-loy# were new to her since she quickly remembered the names of the old crew in case something happened on the trip. That mean it was not the original crew either so it left either pirates, Alliance and a salvage crew. Since they were not following Alliance protocol that meant pirates or salvagers. She readied her test tube with LSD in it in case she was facing pirates who wanted to make her a love toy. She would be damned before she let a man treat her like that again. So she prepared herself for whatever was coming through the door.

The Wyrdians deny the existence of free will, believing that the All-Father, being omniscient, has predetermined all things that are to happen. Some Wyrdians, including Proudfoot himself, take the belief even further and claim that the All-Father himself has no free will and is guided by the force of Wyrd, or fate. This belief would eventually cause a schism within the sect.

Harold IV

**Harold IV** (SE 409-422) was Deputy of England from SE 418 to 422. Harold was the only surviving son of Deputy Aethelred II and Gretchen of Wessex at the time of Aethelred's death in 417. As the principle of primogeniture was not solidly established in England at the time, the Council of Nobles debated for several months before choosing Harold as Deputy. Since Harold was only nine at the time of his elevation to the deputyship, a regency council headed by Derrick of Northumbria was appointed.

Harold spent the next three years and eight months living at Derrick's estate outside the city of Whitby. On the morning of June 23, 422 Harold was boating off the coast of Whitby along with several other sons of the nobility, including two of Derrick's sons. Harold fell (or was pushed) overboard, and his body washed up on shore three days later. Derrick attempted to claim the deputyship for himself, but the Council of Nobles refused, choosing instead an elderly cousin of Harold's named Ragnar of Bath.

Harold was buried in his father's mausoleum in York.

1. In OTL, Djibouti is a relatively new port, founded by the French at the end of the nineteenth century. In my opinion, however, it's plausible that the larger Ethiopian kingdom of the Submission Timeline would take advantage of Djibouti's fine natural harbor, not to mention the fact that it is less vulnerable than Adulis to closures of the Bab al-Mandab. It's also at least possible that the city would have the same name, given that the Afars and Issas were already in the area during the period under discussion.

Century of Changes 3

Century of Changes 3
by Jonathan I. Edelstein
22 January 2002

**East Africa** ... Africa was hard hit by the plagues. From the epicenter in Khartoum, the Black Death was carried on ships and caravans throughout the Merchant Kingdoms. The decline in sea trade also deprived the coastal kingdoms of much of their livelihood; although the volume of trade began to increase again by 375 [1147 CE], it would not fully recover its pre-plague levels until the first quarter of the sixth century. The plagues no doubt hastened the final demise of Zimbabwe, which was sacked and burned in 317 [1089 CE], but its effects in other places were almost as great...

... The chaos was greatest in Axum and the Nilotic provinces of Egypt, where some districts lost two people in three. By 320 [1092 CE], Egypt had lost control of its southern provinces, which reverted to petty kingdoms and chieftaincies. The fall of Axum was even more spectacular; rebellious nobles seized the opportunity to break away from imperial rule, and in 331 [1103 CE] the royal seat at Gondar was sacked. For more than a century, there would be no *negus negusti* reigning over all Axum, although many claimed the title. Axum had entered the Age of the Princes.

Reshem, too, was devastated by the plague. Unlike Axum, however, it survived as a united kingdom. The virtual closing of the caravan routes south from Egypt brought hardship, but pilgrims still journeyed to the source of the living water, and isolation only made Reshemite steel scarcer and more valuable...

... Like the kingdoms of the Mediterranean world and the House of Submission, the Merchant Kingdoms turned to slavery to replenish their depleted labor force, which inevitably led to warfare with the Cattle Kingdoms of the interior. For the most part, the Merchant Kingdoms had the advantage in these battles, but in 361 [1133 CE], Tutsi warriors succeeded in conquering Kilwa Kisiwani and Zanzibar. Like most barbarian conquerors, the Tutsi quickly adopted the ways of the people they had conquered, but the syncretic religion they shared with the Reshemites established a permanent presence along the coast.

The most far-reaching effect of this was completely unanticipated. The new dynasty combined the Reshemite emphasis on the holiness of the written word with the skilled craftsmanship of the Sawahil cities. By 375 [1147 CE], it was common for both priests and laymen to carve images of words and letters and form them into the holy correspondences, but it was not until the 390s that an unknown genius first began to mount these carvings on blocks or frames. This movable type was initially used for religious purposes, but it was only a matter of time before merchants and bureaucrats discovered its secular uses...

The Fall of King Thorolf

The Fall of King Thorolf
by Johnny Pez
28 October 2001

Editor's note: "The Fall of King Thorolf" is a devotional poem of 65 stanzas composed in Old Norse by Erik Godskald, a Danish skald attached to the court of Olaf Knutson, founder of the Deputate of the Vistul. "The Fall of King Thorolf" was composed *circa* SE 100, and is a retelling of an account in the *Traditions* of the Battle of Flensburg of SE 3 between the forces of Ragnar the Prophet and King Thorolf, the ruler of most of the Jutland Peninsula. Thorolf led his forces on a raid against Hedeby, the center of Ragnar's community of exiled Norse Submissives. Ragnar's Submissives met Thorolf's forces at Flensburg, a seaport thirty miles north of Hedeby, and defeated them, killing Thorolf. "The Fall of King Thorolf" was lost for over 600 years before a manuscript of the poem was discovered among the family archives of the Earls of Pomerania in SE 727. What follows is an excerpt from Erik Godskald's original poem.

Without an heir to the throne, the realm passed to the nearest relative, the King of Dublin, who was married to the Prince's sister. To this day, many Welshmen believe that the King had hired the brigands, and there is some contemporary evidence to suggest this as well.

King and Company
by President Chester A. Arthur
6 December 2001

Kingdom of the Maldives
SE 200 [972 CE]
Thiruvanantapuram, the new king of the Laccadives, watched as his brother burned and nodded in satisfaction. "He would have done worse to me, friend Darius, if your Company had not spirited me away to Isfahan when he seized the capital. You have given me my kingdom and my life, and freed my people from a bloody despot. How ever may I repay you?"

Darius of Qom (his father had been mad for Greek studies at the Training Academy in Tehran; the backward hamlet that had grown up overnight with the foundation of the Royal Academy for the sons of the wealthy) smiled and embraced the younger man.

"Do you ask me as a man or as a representative of the Trading Company of the East? If the first, your embrace of Christ's Holy Fire is thanks enough; if the second, the concessions we discussed on the journey here, the ports and warehouse and troops, are thanks enough in turn." The two men stood in the courtyard for a long time, watching the former king burn clean, before turning back into the royal palace.

Bactrian Trading Company, Herat offices
SE 200
"This is an outrage!", shrieked Prince Osman of Qandahar, spittle flying from his mouth and all over the oaken desk of Murad of Nukus. "How dare you tell my father how to run his kingdom, you great fat merchant dog!"

Murad of Nukus felt himself turn bright red at the insult but restrained any further reaction. After all, if he was a good deal more weighty than most Turks of his generation, he was also much more wealthy and important, even more so than that the vaunted Prince Osman of a mountain pass and a sheep-buggering village. Instead, he laced beefy fingers and looked peevishly at Osman until the young man ranted himself into silence.

"The King of Qandahar", said Murad coldly, investing the title with as much scorn as he could muster, "may run his kingdom how he pleases. But when Company business is at stake, we must act in the Company's best interests, and if Qandahar cannot protect our caravans, we will take our trade elsewhere. Unless Qandahar will accept Company troops to guard the trade routes?"

Osman turned a fascinating shade of purple, just as Murad knew he would. Bactrian Company troops were recruited primarily from the Pashtuns, whose contempt for the dozen or so petty Turkish states occupying most of Bactria knew no bounds, and the two groups massacred each other whenever it seemed possible...

3. The Javanese theater described by Benjamin is somewhat different from OTL, as the absence of Airlangga will deprive Java of one of its great patrons of the arts. I'm guessing that the Javanese court dances without Airlangga will be much more derivative of Hindu themes as opposed to royal Javanese history. In addition, Javanese dance and puppet theater will develop into more popular art forms than OTL, with comic skits and folktales being part of the stock in trade and most dancers learning their craft through apprenticeship rather than royal patronage.

Eadgyth

**Eadgyth of York** (SE 381-445) was the daughter of Aethelred II, Deputy of England, and Gretchen of Wessex. As part of Aethelred's policy of forming political alliances with English magnates, Eadgyth was married in 398 to Derrick of Northumbria, the most powerful landowner in northern England. After the death of Eadgyth's brother Deputy Harold IV in 422 under suspicious circumstances, Derrick attempted to claim the Deputyship himself. Derrick's fellow magnates refused, naming Ragnar of Bath instead. When Derrick attempted to seize power in 426, he was imprisoned for treason and beheaded. Derrick's lands were seized, and Eadgyth and her children moved into the household her sister Eawynn, wife of Hakon IV, Thane of London.
Submission Timeline Wiki

**Welcome to the Submission Timeline Wiki!**
**Submission** is a multipart shared-world alternate history created by the late Anthony Mayer in 2001 in which the Arabs and the Norse trade destinies. Like our world's Norse, the Arabs start out launching raids on the older civilizations around them and end by establishing a series of energetic states that revitalize the older civilizations. Like our world's Arabs, the Norse create a monotheistic religion called Submission that launches them on a centuries-long career of conquest and imperialism.

The Point of Divergence (POD) from our history is the year 633 CE, when Muhammad's successor Abu Bakr faced rebellion from the Arab tribes who had submitted to the Prophet's rule and adopted Islam. In our timeline, Abu Bakr put down the rebellion and Arabia remained united under Islam. In the Submission Timeline, Abu Bakr is defeated, Islam is confined to the Hejaz, and the rest of Arabia becomes a hodgepodge of competing religions.

A secondary Point of Divergence occurs in 772 CE when a Norse trader-merchant experiences a revelation while lost at sea and creates a new monotheistic religion that bears a remarkable resemblance to Islam. (Perhaps the failure of the Arabs to create a religious empire caused God to try again in Scandinavia.)

The Submission Timeline Wiki includes the original Submission posts from the soc.history.what-if Usenet newsgroup along with a series of articles on various topics from the Submission Timeline. The articles will include information from the Submission Timeline, and also, where appropriate, information from our timeline (OTL) in *italics.*

The posts and articles on the Submission Timeline Wiki use the standard dating system from the Submission Timeline, the Standard Era (originally known as the Submission Era). The Standard Era numbers years from the foundation of Submission by Ragnar the Prophet in the year 722 of the Christian Era, known as the Year Zero of the Standard Era. Thus, the death of the Byzantine Emperor Justinian I in 565 CE is known in the Submission Timeline as 207 BSE (before Standard Era), while the death of Ragnar the Prophet in 798 CE is known as SE 26.

6. I'd thought about making Singapore the primary Malayan port -- it existed during the early eleventh century, and it would be convenient to the Spice Islands trade. I decided, however, that the changes to Southeast Asia resulting from the Submission Timeline POD wouldn't be great enough at this point to threaten Kedah's predominance. Most trade with the East Indies at this point is still being carried on Javanese and Indian ships and transshipped in Sumatra or Malaya, and an established port like Kedah with historical ties to the Cholas is ideal. Of course, this leaves Singapore open for development by any rival traders who want to set up their own port -- for some reason, a certain Isfahan-based trading consortium comes to mind.

3. This didn't happen until the sixteenth century OTL, but the Ethiopia of the Submission Timeline is involved in much more extensive warfare along its northern border. This is also an attempt to cover up the crass mistake in my previous post regarding the demotic language of Ethiopia. A sack of Axum in the early second century SE, followed by a shift in power to a collateral branch of the royal family located in Gondar, would increase the prominence of the Amhara region in national affairs. With an increasing number of civil and military officials drawn from Amhara, the national language would eventually evolve to one in which Amharic was the dominant influence. Of course, since the Gondar-based dynasty is a branch of the Solomonids rather than an entirely different royal house, Ge'ez would continue to be the language of the court. The Axumite tradition is much more unbroken at this point in the Submission timeline, even though the capital has moved.

4. Swahili is likely to develop practically the same way in the Submission Timeline as in OTL, and might well have the same name -- *sawahil* is Arabic for "coast," which is a natural name for an Arabic-influenced coastal trading language. Swahili in the Submission Timeline, though, is likely to have more Hindi and "Axumite" loanwords. One of the KiSawahil words used above -- the word for the cotton cloth sold in Kilwa -- is derived from Hindi.

6. My use of this name is a complete cop-out, as I have no idea what changes spoken Maori has undergone during the past millennium. If memory serves, modern Maori still has some cognate words with Tahitian (marae, for instance), and place-names tend to change more slowly than other words, so it isn't beyond imagining that the third-century Maori would call their home "Aotearoa." (There's some dispute these days as to whether there actually were any Maori on New Zealand at this point in time, but I'm going with those who say there were.) Benjamin's visit will have some effects on their culture; we'll be returning to them from time to time.

10. Zimbabwe isn't going to last -- its slave raids have made it very unpopular with the neighbors. It will last long enough for its religion and military doctrines to spread and for the adjacent tribes to form kingdoms in self-defense, but it will be a relatively ephemeral empire.

4. One of the more popular reasons that people believe the Natives and the Irish of "St. Patrick upon the Sea" co-existed so well was because the Irish noticed many tendencies of their ancestors in the Natives. This may be the case, but it is more likely that the Irish were interested in survival in this hostile land and needed all the help they could get. By the time there where enough Irish on Manhattan to be a threat to the Natives, the alliance and its customs of intermarriage between the two groups had become tradition and the two cultures intermingled greatly. Cases of Irish settlements in the New World attacking or being attacked by Natives is exceedingly rare. The tradition set by the settlers of "St. Patrick" lived on all up and down the coast for the next several hundred years.

One should also point out that St. Donal, the abbot who lead the people across the sea, wasted no time in attempting to convert the Natives to Celtic Christianity. His efforts were generally successful, ensuring the survival of the Irish settlements in subsequent conflicts with Norse Submissive settlements.

3. This is something of a judgment call on my part, given that damn-all has been written about population movements in early Uganda and what does exist is frequently contradictory. It appears, however, that large-scale political units began to develop in the Lake Victoria area around AD 1000 when the introduction of the plantain made higher population densities possible, and that Nilotic pastoralists were moving south into Uganda at about this time. I'm assuming that two factors will accelerate this development in the Submission Timeline. First, the expansion of [[Egypt[[ will push the Nilotic tribes southward at an earlier date. Second, knowledge of rudimentary crop rotation will arrive via traders beginning in the early second century SE, enabling higher yields of pre-plantain crops. Thus, unless someone has a better idea, the Reshemite kingdom is founded by pastoralists who arrive in the late first century and conquer the Iron Age Bantu farmers who had lived there for the past millennium. By the time of Benjamin's visit, the pastoralists have largely been absorbed into the Bantu population through intermarriage, although some traditions remain. The political structure of the Reshemite kingdom (including the title of the king) is adapted from the OTL Bunyoro, with allowances for artistic license.

Lashing Out...

Gill watched in horror as Haddie stabbed the alliance soldier and then one of the new strangers grabbed her and was yelling at her to let go of the screw driver. It was pure instinct then that drove Gill as he saw red and charged through towards the older boy.

"Let her go!" he raged as he swung the broom handle he had been using as a crutch towards the boys head.

2. Ritual cleansing is not uncommon in Judaism; numerous occasions require a ritual bath or *mikvah,* and the Passover seder includes ceremonial hand-washing. In my opinion it's plausible that ritual hand-washing would spread to other occasions; cleansing of the body as a metaphor for cleansing of the soul is certainly compatible with Ananite austerity.

A Spare Knife

Haddie tugged on Dillons sleave and offered him the last of her sweets. He had been kind and she felt bad for taking his coins before, worse because it had upset Gill. She did not like upsetting her brother, which was why she had left the other knife in her satchel. She did not understand why he had just given them away like that... they might need them to make bad people go away. There were so many bad people in the verse she sometimes thought that they should all be killed somehow, if the bad people were all dead then her ma and pa would still be alive and...

She stared around her in wonder at the well dressed adults gathering in the big hall as they passed inside. They were all crowding together all impatient to get to their seats.

3. It is rumored that the death of a non-royal Answerer was occasionally advanced by artificial means if he embarrassed the King by living longer than the King would like. However, episcopicide among the Spectrum Rus is regarded by modern scholars as being a Submissive myth, since it would be so obviously contrary to the dictates of the *Epistle to All*.
