The Lucifer Timelines

The Lucifer timelines are defined by their apocalyptic meteoric impacts--or other such cosmic disasters.Infinite Worlds, p.134 Not every Lucifer world is dead of life, or even devoid of humans... but they're always scarred by destruction from space.
Timeline 	Q 	Description 	Pockets of LifeAreas still occupied by living humans or similar
Lucifer-1	NG	A "dinosaur killer" asteroid plunges a late Victorian-era planet into darkness. Volcanism in the northern hemisphere causes most of the planet's atmosphere to be unbreathable. New Zealand managed to survive, albeit crushed into TL2. 	New Zealand islands
Lucifer-2	3 	An 1100s meteorite swarm (the "Canterbury Event") misses the Moon and hits Earth instead, wiping out civilization and ushering in a new Ice Age. 	Brazilian coast, Ohio valley
Lucifer-3	5 	Intense radiation from a supernova or gamma rat burst sterilized this world in 1979. Homeliners often travel here to sift through ruins, looking for surviving treasures. Some are tours, some are tomb raids. 	None known
Lucifer-4	3 	An iridium meteorite has just fallen in the Yucatan. This could result in an outtime gold rush, but there's still dinosaurs and dreadful weather, and the meteorite may not be so friendly either...this last bit is fanon to keep things interesting	None (long before humans)
Lucifer-5	6 	A meteor storm crashes into Earth in 1908, leaving St. Petersburg, Russia leveled. The strange, superscience metals propel the world powers--Germany, America, and Britain--into spacefaring empires resembling WWII pulp science fiction. 	Worldwide (everyone's alive)
Lucifer-6	3 	This normal-mana world is in TL1, with Babylonian and Egyptian wizards. An Earth-grazing comet--possibly the source of all this strangeness--is about to arrive, causing horrendous storms--and the wizards want to catch it. 	Worldwide (everyone's alive)
Lucifer-7	? 	Oddly similar to Lucifer 2, although the meteorites are much, much less devastating... at first. An adaptable, microscopic hivemind species piggybacks on the meteors, and spreads among the inhabitants. This timeline was hard to track down. 	Worldwide (but everyone's a little bit Canterburyfied)
