In the year of 856, later known as the cataclysm; the history of the world changed, either that be good or bad was left to be determined.
According to ancient accounts from scholars and holy men, sometime in the late winter of 856, a city of spiraling white stone appeared in the wake of a world shattering earthquake and the ancient city of Cordoba that once occupied the area, ceased to exist.
The city, later nicknamed the Cathedral City, wasn't the only thing to phase into existence over night; no, strange deformed creatures began pouring out of the alien city in frightening numbers, creating deviation in their wake. Only a few hundred people were able to escape the incoming onslaught, their tales speaking of monsters of sharp teeth and claws, glistening scales, and ridged spines; they caught like wildfire as stories were whispered through out the ancient world.
It would only be a few years, before these flying monstrosities would terrorize the surrounding empires. Effectively destroying nations and their populous. The refugees of these attacks scattered across the lands known as Midgard. While others trekked their way towards the cathedral city, where it was rumored to be a safe haven. Most would parish on they way there, and even more once they arrived.

Time doesn't always flow in a single direction.
Divergence; Branch A2
In the flow of post Cataclysm history, if a unique set of conditions know as "singularities" come together, splits occur in time, resulting in the multiple world divergence phenomenon.
It is now March 3, 2011 CE
426 days since John Watson met the singularity known as Sherlock Holmes. The first anomaly occurred when the man known as Henry Knight failed to catch the 5:30 train to London. And instead of taking the case later known as the "Hound of Baskerville", the duo instead took another case.
