Bolghars/Bulgars in Lombardy

[UMACI]

Hi, so I've recently learned that some bolghars/bulgarians have, under "duke alzeco" or alcek sought land from the Lombard king Grimoald and were sent to Benevento and granted lands there. Paul the Deacon wrote in History of the Lombards that these people, even though speaking latin, have not forsaken their own language.

So, just like with Goths of Crimea, it would be nice to see bolghars/bulgars in the duchy of Benevento in at least the first start date. Creating a new, very small county as part of Duchy of Benevento would be nice but if it can't happen just a single barony would be better than nothing as well.

For what purpose? Why should Paradox represent a tiny minority without adding a single character of said culture or something related to them? Would it be interesting to just watch that county assimilate to Lombard or Italian after 20 or so years of in-game time? They were settled in rural areas outside of the major cities represented on the map so flipping an entire county culture to Bolghar because of some interesting migration is not worth it.

Whatabout the "White Hun" achievement thing? Saka count in India? This could bring a challenging playthrough. If you're not that type of player for this kind of challenge, that's fine.. you will not loose on gameplay immersion anyway

This topic has actually been brought up before, with the proposal that one of the fictional counts of Benevento could be replaced by a Bolghar ruler from the Dulo clan, ruling over said Bolghar province.
