i am mostly learning about your ballad brothers through osmosis, did they cause the punic wars?

Okay first of all. Possibly the funniest ask I’ve ever gotten.

SECOND OF ALL! Technically. No. well I mean technically the Ballad brothers main timeline is a hot several hundred years after the fact, so they couldn’t have even if they wanted to. BUT! This is a universe with both a scifantasy Roman Empire (historic)(collapsed somewhere between 100-200 years before canon and everyone is still dealing with the fallout)(called that bc I haven’t named it yet) and a scifantasy Carthage (modern)(named that bc there’s nothing else that hits the same) and. Uh. Well. Hang on here’s the world’s shittiest hand-drawn map.

Goddamnit this isn’t the one with the compass rose. ⬅️East ➡️West ⬆️South ⬇️North. Just to get a little silly with it.

Some of these guys are still around and still kind of Italian. Some of them (cough cough ScF Roman Empire) are not.

Also mostly there’s a really stupid joke to be made about how the saint who was supposed to Build Rome and then Didn’t Do That (he has really bad executive dysfunction)(and also other more sinister things wrong with him that they don’t even have a name for yet) wholeass Walked Out Of The Roman Empire and Never Looked Back (again. Combo hitter executive function and other more sinister things wrong with him) and the local perception of him would up lowkey hella influencing the culture further east, so they’re the Real Italians!

(Also if you want to know more about these guys in a more direct fashion 👀 first of all I’m always down to answer questions. Some of them might take longer than others depending how much I have to think about BUT)(also I have a discord server if you (or anyone else) is interested! Theoretically doing another PowerPoint night on these guys at some point in the near future!)
