The year is 1066.In the West, as the last of the Viking raids died away, new kingdoms had already staked their claim to the legacy of Rome. France, England, Leon, Castile and Navarre all used Latin as the language of government, and laid claim to being successors to Rome in their various territories and domains. The king of the Germans, Heinrich von Franken, also claimed the title “Emperor of the Romans” as heir to the Western Empire.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })However, in the East, the real Roman Empire remained. Romanion for the previous half century had been in a state of flux. Since the death of Basil II in 1025, a succession of weak emperors who barely remained on the throne had sapped her strength. The formally powerful Roman fleets had shriveled to nothing, and her elites openly plotted for the throne. The weak Emperor Konstantinos IX died in 1067, leaving the throne to his son, Michael VII.Michael VII proved as inept as his father, and many hoped and prayed the Empire would be delivered by Prince Alexios Komnenos, a popular and powerful noble from Anatolia. Their hopes seemed dashed, however, when Alexios was wounded in distant Syria, and lay languishing in agony. As Alexios breathed his last, all eyes turned to his son, a 16-year-old boy, on whose shoulders the future of an ancient empire rested...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })And this was only the beginning of a tale of glory, of corruption, of intrigue and valor, that would span centuries...Found on the Paradox Forums at: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?t=319347

Bittersweet Ending: The Empire the Kommenids forged crumbles to invasion and infighting, leaving behind various successor states. But the Kommenid line endures, and in the Gaelic-dominated British Isles, a direct descendant of those Emperors is about to begin a new chapter of glory.

Big Book of War: Many Emperors write one of these. If running Romanion counts as war (it does), then nearly all the Emperors have written one.

Beware the Nice Ones: In the case of Basil III Komenos, this trope is oh so very true. Basil is honest and kind to a fault, but he is also responsible for bringing Spain under the Kommenid banner. Even after being wounded. Several times.
