CHATBOT: In this alternate history, 1817 BC marks the turning point of the world - the beginning of diverging narratives that will form unique, vibrant, and fantastical states, each with their own intricate cultures, complex politics, and sprawling histories.

Through resilience and strength, the Cimmerians, led by a line of visionary emperors, expand their empire to a vast expanse that stretches from the Black Sea to the northern reaches of the Caspian.
