Timeline
In the 1300s, the families that would spawn Christopher Columbus die in the Black Death, causing the New World to not be discovered until the late 1700s when a Chinese fleet set to explore norther Siberia accidently land in Alaska instead. Amazed, once they get back, they convince the higher ups to explore this region more only to discover countless civilizations already exist in this world that rival even them in complexity.
