whoa, this timeline is spectacular. can't wait to read the remaining years!

Thank you. :) I've been busy working on the mod itself rather than posting timelines hehehe. The Rule Britannia overhaul with everyone receiving historical blood traits, state troops and holy orders etc took all my time. :) And given now I'm revamping East Africa that's eating time now. :) But this will get done (and adjusted slightly for additions while maintaining timeline integrity hehehe) and once I do the Indohellenic revamp, I'll actually get to play yayayay! :)
 
Sadly, the Invincible Light has vanished into the ether. All that stands in the way of the Eternal Darkness is the stalwart community of adherents who keep the Light alive in these dark days.

Yeah, I think he had plans to include a Carthago-African invasion or something along those lines at some point, and they likely would have had Hannibal's Blood.

From the mod files:

Pyromantism is a Local Graeco-Roman religion of Statist soul, characterized by strong Iranian influences, the result of centuries of syncretism between Greeks and Iranians in the Eastern satrapies of Bactria, Sogdiana and Arachosia, unstable lands of volatile leaders and uneasy masters. It is a subtle blend of Hellenic gods and religious patterns with Sogdian Zoroastrian cosmology, old Iranian deities and Far Eastern themes, built around grand public rituals, divination by fire and the worship of great heroic figures considered as Yazatas (minor deities) and Devae (spirits), all falling under the supreme command of Horomasdes (Ahura-Mazda), the force of Light and Order in the World, First Emanation of Zarvanes Bythos, Time Primordial. The most prominent of the Yazatas include:\n Verethraghna, God of victory.\n Herakles and his mate Tyche, Guardian of cities.\n Mithra, the Seal of Truth and oaths.\n Athena-Nanaiya, the Martial Goddess ever escorted by a Lion.\n Aredvi Sura Anahita, divinity of waters.\n The winged bull Gopatshah source of all life.\n Megabaies (Vayu-Shiva).\n Buddha the king-god.\n\n Long ago, this pantheon of divine beings sealed a pact with the Prophet and King of Men, Megas Alexandros, who became Horomasdes’ adoptive Son. When Megas Alexander set fire to Persepolis and defeated the Persian holders of lies, Horomasdes recognised in Him a worthy Hero, the Saoshyant of our Time. Through the great beacon of Persepolis burning, the Light entered Alexander and guided Him to His Fate. His steps led him to the divine Rowkhshan, unborn reincarnation of Athena-Nanaiya, who conquered His heart and brought Him to a higher plane, where He was assigned the most sacred of missions by Horomasdes: to banish Lie and Darkness from this world. To accomplish this mission he reached to both the Eastern and Western ends of the Earth, where he fought Ahriman and made him flee, and enclosed many of his beasts behind the Iron Gates of Caucassus Indicus. This is just one of a series of battles, works and quests that the greatest heroes of myth did while inspired by Horomasdes, while Zurvan Bythos brings the Last Day forth, slow but steady, and sets everyone's Destiny. The Pyromantic cosmogony was largely shaped by Indohellenic Kings, claiming divine descent from Rowkhshan and Alexander and thus divine nature, who recognized the cult’s potential as a way to bring their diverse peoples closer together, thanks to this faith's flexibility with foreign deities and its mythical Iranian-Greek ancestry on an almost equal basis. Fire rituals have only grown stronger with time, with sacrificial pyres being set in festivals and celebrations. The King has the monopoly of receiving purification by holy fire at every Spring, under the auspices of State priests. During this ceremony, the King renews Megas Alexandros’ divine link to Horomasdes by crossing Fire untouched while 39 unworthy individuals, holders of lies, perish by his side in the flames of Justice.
The Eusebeian faith is a Local Graeco-Roman faith of Statist soul, characterized by strong Buddhist influences. The Indo-Hellenic world eagerly supported philosophical movements, and thus when Emperor Ashoka sought to promote Buddhism, he spoke in Greek terms. Explicitly that the Buddhist concept of Dhrama was "Eusebeia", a Greek term meaning "Right reverence". This faith later became supported as a state religion by other rulers following Emperor Ashoka. The highly adaptable nature of Buddhist teachings meant that it easily co-exists with other creeds and religious traditions. Many of the deities and heroes of Greek and Indian legends are regarded as Bodhisattvas, those who have attained enlightenment and seek to help mortals reach enlightenment.
