| '''Lõis''' (from the [[Tyrith]] name for 'Earth') is an alternate-history timeline for Earth.

| Some points of divergence:

| *Hellenistic Greece spread to Central Asia and East India, giving us [[Kwenya]] and [[Heleasic]].
| |
| *The Roman Empire expanded to Greece, Eastern Europe and Caucasus, hence influencing Azalic and Celtic languages, but lost territory in Italy and Western Europe to the Corded Ware peoples.
| |
| *The [[Siészal]] sacked China at the end of the Tang Dynasty.
