Why wait until Friday when we can recklessly speculate now?
We see that all the new characters except Otto have the red bloodline icon, so they all have a bloodline. Presumably Zoltan and Hakon have the pre-existing bloodlines (Arpad/Attila and Ragnar), but the Fatimid, Qarmatian and Athelstan bloodlines are new, so that's at least three. If they're giving the Fatimids one, the Umayyads and Abbasids may get ones as well. And there is always the possibility of Otto getting one by event if he e.g. forms the HRE (much like William the Conqueror and Arpad only get theirs if they succeed in an invasion in 1066/867 respectively).
I disagree. It would not be strange at all. The reason Poland was baptized was to stop the raids of the christians who used religion as an excuse for conquest (like everyone else in the middle ages would). In ck2, the world could become completely different and there would be no sense for having a narrative event.
Also, I hate railroading like this so I'm strongly opposed anyway. (the events at the Charlemagne bookmark are fine though as they cover things that were already unveiling as you start playing). If the player wants catholic Poland, they should work for it.

Will this update add new unit models? For example, French/Occitan units. I don't remember if Magyar had their own unique models, it would be fun.
I can see a potentially huge problem with the Fatimids that's been plaguing it for a long time now - moral authority. All shia holy sites are far away from their caliphate and it's very likely that in most of the games in this new bookmark, the Fatimids will never reach any of them.
Holy Fury introduced mass conversion. With that it's not that unlikely for eastern European pagans to convert
I think Hungary need some love from you...(some provinces specially -- my suggestions from past https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/a-new-few-improvements.1147679/#post-25212858 -- I make there also one map with province sugestions)...
then I think, that Bohemia should own also Árva/Orava (that province in northern Slovak region) too
Spis should be probably independent chief -- (Hungarians did not go to mountainous region in upper Slovakia in that time, it is also one reson, why they did not pillage Poland, or if only little bit)

I am really looking forward to the new start date.
Wouldn't one way of representing the weird Republic that the Qarmatian had would be to have that heresy unlock Elective Succession?

I very genuinely have no idea.
It will not.
Good question, I'll bring it up, as I am not sure if anyone has thought about this yet.
Maybe, but that isn't really what the bookmark is about.
Hungary is something I'd like to update at some point, but there's no time to do that right now.
Yes. And because they hold a special Caliphal Emperor title.
Cool suggestion, I'll keep it in mind.
If I recall correctly, yes.
Bulgarian ruler Simeon the Great was recognised Emperor by the Ecumenical Patriarch in 913. Soon after ERE tried to revoke the concession, but after Simeon's succesful wars concluded in 927 ERE definitively recognised Bulgarian Tsar as Basileus.
Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsar#Bulgaria
Given that it's been only 9 years since Simeon's death and Bulgaria is still in it's Golden Age, I think there is no question that Bulgaria should be Imperial.
Aren't there already a sunni and a shia caliph? Or is it just a title?
And thanks for your quick reply

I'm curious if this bookmark will have story events similar to those in the Charlemagne bookmark, given that Otto is identified as a "protagonist" and all.
Will Otto have his own event chain? And will he use the classic Form the HRE decision or something special?
