I took a medieval history class last semester, and I’ve been reading a lot of Vampire: The Dark Ages books, and now I have a new obsession.

This was a little fan concept of mine that I have been working on for a while, I reimagined the characters of Heroes of Olympus if they had lived during the year 800 A.D. with the coronation of Charlemagne in the Dark Ages. Tensions with the East and West begin with the coronation of Charlemagne by the pope and declared the Emperor of the Romans despite Basilissa Irene of Athens in the Eastern Roman Empire, with the Italian peninsula as the battleground for their Cold War, the camps of the Latin and the Greeks prepare for a war that could decide the fate of the Dark Ages. It has been a favorite idea of mine to see a Game of Thrones-esque Cold War story from the Dark Ages after the fall of the Western Roman Empire, so I decided ‘Why don’t I do it instead but with my favorite series as the mold?’

Hopefully you guys enjoy this little project of mine.
