The Illusory Prosperity Of The Tang Dynasty

An era interwoven with dreams and courage, power and desire; this is a tumultuous and transformative world, marked by the shifting fortunes of the three great empires of the Eurasian continent. An ancient empire experiences a peak followed by decline, a young empire ascends to its zenith, and a newly established empire rises. The recently changed Black Robed Abbasid Empire, the division and turmoil of the Byzantine dynasty, and the brewing seeds of the schism between Catholicism and Orthodoxy in the midst of decline. The Muslims of the Iberian Peninsula launch an attack on Gaul, the Tang dynasty and the Abbasids vie for dominance in the Western Regions during the Zhaowu War, and the Frankish dwarf Pepin establishes the Carolingian dynasty, welcoming back the exiled pope, with the movement to dedicate Rome as the religious capital.

The interplay of chance and inevitability has shaped history, revealing its cruelty and inevitability.

The inexplicable appearance of Liang Xiao at the end of the Tianbao era is such a "coincidence".
