What if one of history's most transformative events never occurred? Embark on an epic journey spanning nearly three millennia, beginning in 600 AD, in a world where the religion of Islam never emerged to reshape the globe. Witness the enduring might and eventual transformation of the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire, the persistence of Zoroastrian Persia, and the unique development of Europe without the familiar conflicts and cultural exchanges of our timeline.

Follow humanity down this divergent path through uniquely altered Middle Ages, Renaissance analogues fueled by different knowledge streams, and devastating Religious Wars fought under unfamiliar banners like the 'Praxis Reformation'. See the unlikely restoration of Judea in its ancient homeland, the clash of empires in alternate World Wars driven by distinct ideologies, and the surprising rise of the Respublica Romana Nova - a hyper-advanced federation consciously reviving Roman ideals to manage a future of climate crisis, artificial intelligence, and bio-engineering.

As humanity reaches for the stars, colonizing Mars, the Belt, and eventually venturing into interstellar space, the very definition of 'human' fractures. Explore a future where post-humanity diverges into digital consciousnesses, bio-engineered collectives, and AI-symbiotic beings. Confronting the mystery of ancient alien artifacts and the limits of existence itself, the scattered children of Earth pursue engineered forms of 'divinity' - Digital Elysiums, Bio-Apotheosis, the RRN's ordered Logos Communion - striving towards an ultimate state of cosmic awareness in a universe both familiar and profoundly alien. This is history reimagined on its grandest, most speculative scale.
