If possible, and if fitting with the vision of the mod, as I've read that the description of the mod is about a realistic survival of the various Gothic and East Germanic peoples during the era of 867, will there be a decision or so to reestablish the Gothic language for your culture, or if more ambitiously bring back the old Gothic culture? (Though I understand that the Gothic culture is back in the form of the Gautr culture, unless I am mistaken.) Thank you for your time.

If I can figure it out I'd love to have some method of essentially readopting Gothic (or maybe just label it as East Germanic as well). Also I don't believe the Gautr culture is in game. The base Gothic culture of my mod essentially replaces the one in-game (which for some reason has Central Germanic heritage and uses the Visigothic name list).

Came across the name of this mod somewhere else, so here ara few things that are relevant

Did you know that Gepids are actually still around in 9th century and not just in Pannonia but Sirmia as well?


"The situation was rather different in the Temes region, where — according to contemporary Byzantine sources — Gepidic villages existed around 600; the sources also indicate the presence of Gepids as late as the 9th century in parts of the Sirmia and Slavonia along the Danube and Drava rivers."

"In Transylvania, unlike in the Great Plain, some Gepidic cemeteries remained in use...
...The villages underwent a peculiar transformation after the turn of the 7th century. The native Gepids continued to form the core population...
....However, in the 7th century, the Gepids' traditional fashions became mixed with features of the Avar culture...
...as well as of the Avar-Slavic culture...
...However, certain finds in these cemeteries, dating from around 600, cannot be identified either with the Gepids or with the culture of the early Avar period: the traces of armed men who came from the area of Western Merovingian culture...
...These observations point to the conclusion that the first deliberate settlement in Transylvania of 'Southern-Germans' was the work of the Avars. They provided a haven in this remote corner of their domain for Danubian and Rhenish Alamanni and Bavarians who had been put to flight by the internecine quarrels of Merovingian kings and princes. (The graves of Avar refugees in Bavarian cemeteries indicate that the flow moved in both directions.) ...

or that Goths, besides the Crimean Goths, are also in existence in Byzantine lands in 9th and 10th centuries?

or that it is very likely that Empress Eudokia Ingerina also had Gothic origins as opposed to being a Varangian? There is a certain Inger, who was an Iconoclastic Metropolitan of Nicaea in 820s, considering this is decades before Varangians and that this guy is a member of the clergy, not exactly a career for a new comer, and that Nicaea is very close to where Gothograeci lived, he may well have been one of the Goths living there, add to that the fact that Eudokia Ingerina's family were also iconoclasts and the name Ingerina, she may very well have been of Gothic descent on her father's side.
