The Bleak Epoch, Epoch for short, is an alternative timeline project spanning centuries. It is currently divided into five parts, each of which has different themes. What initially started as a single nation made years ago as a thought experiment has rapidly expanded into an ever-expanding timeline. The Point of Divergence begins in 1920. The first two Parts of Epoch attempt to present a historically realistic, and much darker, path that could have happened. Extensive research into real-life historical events, people, movements, and so much more has, and still is, complied and analyzed. Epoch is meant to act as a template for which projects can be built off of, currently in the form of maps and short stories.
