Just to note that the thread is merely inspired by a concurrent thread, but not meant as a link to the topic in the other thread, which has its own and very different merit

I think i was trying to examine- back when i was in late elementary school- if i could recall anything prior to my birth. While i could not manage to do that i did have a very recurring theme in my plastic toy-based game plots, which i was very fond of before i got my first computer later on - when i was 11.
In the plot of the games on the carpet i was usually a sort of baron or count figure, ruling over a domain, and mostly being involved in cancelling the prospect of revolts. While children's games very likely have a strong symbolic tie to their views of their own position in the world, i suppose the role of that regional noble was very typical for me while playing with my toys. So the population of the fief would partly rise in revolt, the loyal soldiers would use their pikes and swords to enforce another deceptive balance, and apart from that the ongoing feud between myself and other powers (be it locals of low stature, foreign nobles who wanted the land, or renegade armies or bands of opportunists) never would be resolved.
So i gather from all that that i was living the high life behind the armored walls of some Byzantine land. I mean the mosaic of Alexios II is not that far away from myself even in this dusty era of the world...:
