Musings on "Carolingia Does Carolingia"

I've been ruminating over Dark Age cultures in Europe and how they can be so different one from another.  One way to handle this event would be to assign a date and location to the event.  Another would be to let it exist outside a particular time and location in order to see what what the resulting cultural pointillism will reveal.  Plenty of other possibilities exist.

I can think of plenty of possibilities I would enjoy, but since I have no actual skin in this particular game I don't want to get in the way of other people's ideas.

But right now I do think of it in my own head as "Carolingia Does Carolingia."

  1. Yes indeed, Carolingia does Carolingia. I'll be thinking that too :).

    I know the time is not at all culturally monolithic, after all, it's a geopolitical centrifuge. As much as I like a precise anchor for my projects, I think I'd like to see it evolve however the enthusiasms of the folks involved push it.
