It's not a break-up, it's a Union. TOG start, most of those states were separate, but the Abbasids independently took over from within.
I'm now playing 50 years ahead and the Caliph actually rules directly over all of them. Good job Abbasids.

I don't know how common this is, I've not seen it before, but ladies and gentleman, I give you the "Sunni" Byzantine Empire...
Sorry, don't know how to make the image a decent size... :-(

This this an old one, from pre- Charlemagne times, but I felt that I need to share it.
Go ahead, spot what's weird in this screenshot
The weirdest thing I see is that I had the exact same situation in one of my previous games, down to the of Wessex, vassal to the HRE, King-Bishop of England.
Tengri had reformed, Poland was being holy war'ed by Germany had a few counties with Tengri religion (or maybe the guy had a wife or concubine). So of course he made the logical choice of converting not to Catholicism, but to Tengri(ism?)... which ended the holy war. >_> His heirs also were Tengribut unfortunately none of their vassals.
They went back to Slavic real quick.
Poland strong can choose every religion that they want!Tengri had reformed, Poland was being holy war'ed by Germany had a few counties with Tengri religion (or maybe the guy had a wife or concubine).

It looks like Edgar the Ætheling, in 1066 he's a courtier with a strong claim to England. It's hilarious that the ai somehow pushed his claim after he somehow became a bishop.
Yeah, my best bet is, he somehow got a bishophoric in Germany (maybe after Willhelm booted out all the Saxons?) and the Emperor pressed his claim. Still, that's a pretty crazy coincidence.
I had the same thing happen to me last night. The power of a single friendship can change the course of history.
Heeell yeah, you go AI Abyssinia you scrappy underdog!
After the utter destruction of the Kingdom of Lithuania and the entire Romuva faith appearently the entire nobility of that once great nation fled to... A sheik in the Egyptian desert, because, why the hell not?

Did he maybe have a courtier from before the exile?
Still not as impressive as Finnish Suomenusko pagan moving to Sri Lanka and marrying the local ruler there.

I call it "Three Against Rome." This is how the Slavic Uprising began. The levies for the Exarchate of Wallachia are right about 2500 men. Torki is tribal btw, hence the tiny number of rebels I guess.

Nice unlooted bro
nothing too special here; cept that gg blobophage; huzzah church of the sun. Goal: convert rome constantinople and medina then swap back to Zun, then to sunni and invade the known world.
Invading india hum ho, there must be 5-6 different courts of this sort worldwide; I don't think there is any hindu ruler left on the map independent; they will go extinct in a few decades I hope.
Templars not at all op (they hold the all of jerulsalem, but the kingdom didn't form for some reason... however, because they're all celibate, each time one of them dies, the leave the cash to the templar head... atm they have about 80k gold....... almost as rich as the pope.

Everyone, I give you the Scottish Immaculate conception!
In my Scottish game I immediately got the Joan of Arc event chain (one of my favs) and my king, inspired by one of his courtiers became celibate. Not a problem as his wife had already born him 3 sons. Then his wife died and he remarried the fair maiden and military genius Orabilia. They lived happily and platonically for a few years until the kings first born fell to pneumonia at the tender age of 16. Then overcome with grief the king fell to lust and the following happened ... or it was the immaculate conception.
My celibate king:
My celibate queen:
The result:
I'm really, really tempted to name the child Jesus lol. I will post his stats shortly, I just paused to share this story and odd event. I always love the Joan of Arc event chain, usually marry her and have always wanted to have a child with each version of Joan ... finally my Scottish King succeeded were all others failed.

So during an epic war between the Reformed Norse empire (me) and the 'Holy' Roman Empire, one of my guards complaind about his role in life
I'm still not sure if I should be happy or mad that they put this in (they is here HIP mod)
In another battle during the same war, I actually took an arrow to the knee...
