Hey, I suggested it too! [/glory-hogging]

Anyways, here I have ripped the categories from my wikia history, and have

Shadows and Myths - The Early Peoples Edit
Basically, this would be a pre-history portion of my history, with worship of sun and moon gods and whatnot. Things are very local, so I don't think I need to collaborate with people (or even really delve into it, because it would be boring and seem too much like the RL history textbooks)

The Favored Twins - Rothus and RomulusEdit
Basically, this is the myth of the founding of Rome, lovingly ripped from the real world, where two twins are raised on thiese hills (no, no wolf momma in this rendition), grow up to be upstanding youth, etc... Although I don't plan on having Romulus be killed, but instead flee north and begin his own little city-state a few miles away that later becomes a suburb of Rothia (where there is still some animosity towards the other Rothians... kind of like Quebec/Frenchness in Canada, but not as bad and obviously not at the same scale). Again, pretty local, no need to collaborate much in this section.

This is Good Ground - The First Settlers  of the Nine Hills Edit
More blah blah's about the city state after it's founding, the rivalry between Rothius' and Romulus namesake cities and cultures, and how both begin to ally themselves with other surrounding tribes and against the other, prepping for an inevitable clash. No correlation neccessary, as this will probably take place in a radius of less than 100 miles (though maaaaaaybe Fan might want to have a hand in naming some of the tribes, because it is possible some of them were pushed out in the Rebublic Wars might take some Rothian Governmental Theory/Written Language/Traditions down with them as the migrate south and into Fanaglia)

Shepherds and Merchants - The First Civil GovernmentEdit
Basic rambling about initial governmental theory and execution in both cities, highlighting the differences in both: Roth is situated along a trade route between Promethian and the rest of Amplector (would need help establishing a name, because eventuall all will probably have it winding through their territory if we are going to have this route.  In Romus, however, no such merchant community is able to be established, and they are forced to resort mostly to farming and shepherding.

Strength, Duty, Honor - Rise of the SenateEdit
More rambling about developement of the government and culture, established the origins of the Senate, and will also include a narrative of the developement of direct democracy the northern city of Romus, made possible largely because of the lower population of that city. If anyone has a Ph. D. in Ancient Governmental Theory, I would appreciate some insight (wiki can only take one so far).

__________________

I am thinking of adding a category* (or categories?) about the battles between these two cities (and their allies), which leads ultimately to Roth assimilating Romus and many of her allies... though I might simply put this part under the section below (Glory of the Republic) -- I mean, the wars are big neough to get their own category, but the title eludes me, while 'The Republic Eternal', an existing category, seems to have an nice ring to it, and the wars would fit nicely into it (though would also serve to make it incredibly bloated)... I'm still up in that air on this one, but it's mainly an organizational, not a content issue, so not to worry.

Respublica Eternia! - Glory of the RepublicEdit
(*may also include a long narration of the wars between the two cities, not sure)

Highlights the aftermath of the Republic Wars, and of the growth of the fledgling City-State as it branches out. An as-yet-unnamed regional power will attempt to clamp down and destroy the united cities, but they will triumph (mostly because of the former's decay and inferior battle technology and strategy). After this, the republic will grow, fight off roaming invaders, do politically interesting maneuvers and intrigues, and eventually become THE regional power. I am debating whether I want a Carthage-like opponent, but I'm pretty sure I do, and perhaps it ought to be based either in the Caliphate (Sa-hara) or in Fanaglia (the latter is preferred due to both proximity to Roth and the difference in activity levels in the two players). Thus, I need to work with Fan to name and shape this power that Roth fights against for centuries before razing her rival.

Who is This Man, Ceasar? - The Beginning of the End of the RepublicEdit
After some great disaster (likely invasion or great military failure, most probably by the psudo-Carthage I'm considering), one of the Counsels are given emergency powers. The crisis passes... but the powers remain. This is about when I am planning to destroy psudo-Carthage and also go on a conquering spree, greatly expaning the (now in name only) Republic's territories. Maybe at this point, I need Servoth and perhaps Wirble to help me name some of their Eastern tribes and lands because at this point I will probably be overlapping them.

First Amoung Equals - The Early CeasarsEdit
Still called the Republic, but not actually so. Ceaser after Ceaser expands the territories. At this point, the Alkurdians will be encountered (aka I need Dal's help with names, dates, events, peoples, etc...  Actually, I was thinking that a truce divides the lands along some natural obstical, like a river or mountain range [perhaps even in the Disputed Territories?]). At this point, about the entire Western Half of my presen territories are firmly under Rothian Conrtol.

Cover the Earth - The Great ExpansionEdit
BLAM! After a few good (at least, militarily) Ceasers and some ambitious generals, the Rothian Empire reaches the point of it's greatest extent. Covers parts of Sevroth, Wirble Fan, Dal, Averi, Gratia, Sa-hara, Svealand (maybe some of Vitz?  I thought he had said something about that once.  Also, maybe some of those lands North [and maybe even in] Mishmahig). Sprawling, corrupt, greedy, hedonistic as a whole.

Pro Cristo, Pro Imperium -  The Early Christianization of Roth Edit
Christ comes, dies, Christianity is born. Some of the Ceasers see Christianity as a threat to their [strike]powers[/strike] gods, and persecute. Eventually, one of them becomes a Christian himself, and the persecution stops... kind of. This is when the whole Rothian Catholic Church is formed, but is still in it's infancy.

The Barbarian Horde - The Pagan Wars and  Rise of the Papacy Edit
War braks out between the Alkurdians and Rothians, the Papacy grows in power and the expense of the Emperor. Dal is obviously needed to help with this war.

Blasphemy Means Death! - The Mishmahig Persecution and the  Rise of the Protectionalists Edit
What we are doing in Mish's journey though time thread will settle most of this, and I will go about making needed alterations/additions as needed.

The RevolutionEdit
Again, will be a sub-plot to the Mish Persecution. I will be doing alot of writing, but most of it will be internal.

The Middle AgesEdit
Decentralization of Inoroth... possiblity for some fun RP's, but mostly localized politics... kind of like the HRE, but with the Emperor always in Roth.

The Early Modern EraEdit
Meh

The Industrial RevolutionEdit
Meh
