Jenner-1

Jenner-1, 1519
Current Events: both Europe and the Americas are being devastated by plagues
Divergence: 8000 BC; the last horses and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glyptodont glyptodonts] in Americas are domesticated
TL: 3 Americas); 4 (Europe)
Quantum: Not given
The Americas have 150 million people die with perhaps 20 million left and that is dwindling. Europe is in much the same state with two-thirds of its 80 million dead and more still dying.
Leonardo da Vinci has developed a vaccine for calenture though exactly how it works is unknown to the locals. On this world Leonardo has Artist 18, Sculpting 10, Physician 19, and Diagnosis 19 but skillwise otherwise identical to his homeline counterpart.
==Adventure seeds==
* "Saint Camillus Preserve Us": sympathetic insiders (now sequestered on a detention line for their behavior) and a religious humanitarian organization are providing as much of 21st century medicine as the locals can understand. Infinity is not thrilled with this and has sent agents to stop this.
* Once More Unto the Breach: "Hopeful that other cures like the immunization for calenture can be found, the Accademia has decided to send another expedition to the Americas. While there, the explorers are to capture local animals, particularly some glyptodonts if possible. More Cipangan horses are needed too, so they can be bred for immunization purposes -- the ones they have already will mate with European horses, but the foals always die before they are born. Purebreds seem to be the only answer." Due to the differences in history and technology these are very different from the Americas of Homeline.
