Adam of Usk in the 15th Century writing of Owain Glyndwr's assault on the English of Gwent, likens Glyndwr to ''a second Assyrian, the rod of God's anger, he did deeds of unheard-of cruelty with fire and sword''. This inspires me to write a fictional futuristic alternate Welsh history story, titled 'The Assyrian Rod' which will be developed in this blog,also given same title. This blog will also promote the writing of alternate Welsh Histories:past, present and future.

Successionist States of Wales, why not Gwynedd succedes from an Hwntw doninated Welsh Assembly Government run Wales, some might say we should be so lucky! As for story line as a What if? Some time in the future about 10 years down the road maybe, when times are really hard economically, the WAG decides to cut money to the 'Welsh Language Industry' and close down S4C. In response there are riots in the 'Pontcanna Patagonia' with young 'Crachlets' to the fore in putting up barricades, in response to which 'Hwntw' dominated Police 'go in' heavy handed and round up the 'Crachlets' and intern them in the Millenium Stadium where they are pacified and entertained by a very old confused Dafydd Iwan. Mean while the Cardiff Council Estate poor pour into the 'Pontcanna Patagonia' looting Crachach homes and businesses this causes there to be formed a 'Crachach Carafan' of 'Pontcanna Patagonians' with object of fleeing the City and heading back to their rural 'Cymric Heartland', and the safty of Gwynedd but first an audacious plan is put together to free the young 'Crachlets' held at the Millenium Stadium. After which the 'Crachach Carafan' must fight it's way through hostile 'Hwntw' territory along the A470 'Corridor of Death' over the Brecon Beacons north being attacked by the Valleys 'Silurian Sepratists' along the way.
See recent Balkans Wars and Serb Retreat thru Kossovo during WWI and of course the film 'Exodus' note the Road to Jerusalem, gives ideas re above. All this leads in time to Gwynedd succeding but fails to win over Deheubarth to a greater pura Wallia Republic, instead 'Gog' assertiveness and aggression results in a 'Greater Little England Beyond Wales' declaring itself Independent. Powys also declares it's aim of becoming a Province of England led by an opportnist Lembit Opik, and is immediatly invaded by 'Hwntws' and 'Gogs'. How's that? At same time a Mersy Side State seizes Fflinshire but is vigourously resisted by Fflinstshire Welsh Patriots of the North East Wales 'Peoples Defence Committee' who seek union with the Gwynedd Free State. How's that for starters, now you fill in the gaps favouring who ever you wish?, me? with the 'Silurian Sepratists' of course.

SEVERNIA and the Liberation of the West Bank.
This could be a cracker of a story, if you use 'America's Palestine' and the dream of Aztlan for inspiration. The Powys Palestine! What if! it kicks off when 'Severnia Rebels' who following the 'Second Battle of Vyrnwy 2010' created over time a 'Liberated Zone' in the Forests of the Vyrnwy Estate which they had began to occupy as resistence to Cheque Book Conquest at the beginning of the Second Decade of the 21st Century.
