Earth-52
This Earth is the cornerstone of this Multiverse and arguably one of the biggest (Earth-53 is the contender for this title), for this is a world where almost all fiction itself exists.
When it's history diverged I do not know, however the earliest known part of it's history is, when a race of creatures called the Elohim were sent down by something greater then themselves, to rule Humanity in it's early years.
This race eventually weakened to become the Elder gods, and continued to rule until the Great Old Ones lead by Kutulu came to Earth from Yuggoth. The battles ended when the creatures being banished from the world in R'lyeh, other prisons or otherwise banished.
These battles also weakened the Elder gods further, causing them to turn into the entity Crom, before turning into a more human pantheon that was worshipped by the Greeks.
The history after this was similar to ours except that Greek Myths were alive during this time and in 1260 BCE a child named Bio was born.
Bio would later turn out to have his father Tiresias' unfortunate tendency to change gender and was sent away by him in shame and event which eventually lead to Bio later becoming one of the greatest warriors who ever lived and also one of the few immortal ones.
The history, as mentioned above was filled with things that were on our Earth, that were thought to be myths but were in fact reality. However some things we did not hear about such as Bio saying at Troy "oh look! What a wonderful horse" (which he/she said in the early 20th century was "the stupidest thing I've ever said") which didn't end well as you may have guessed.
150 AD was an important event in space travel when Lucian of Samosata and his group (which included Bio, at the time a female, and calling herself Vita) of sailors/henchmen to the Moon.
In 449 Merlin and his companion Vita (Bio still a woman) directed Arturus to the sword Excalibur who became king a reigned for 19 years before being killed by his son Mordred. While the sword was returned to the Lady of the Lake, Vito (Bio and male again) fought her and took the sword back renaming it Durendal.
In 568 Ragnorok happened in an alternate dimension, this also being the first such place glimpsed on this Earth because Vito had by means unknown witnessed this event.
This was mirrored by a massive meteor striking the Earth causing a tree year winter of darkness and cold called the Fimbul Winter.
I 1192 Vito (now calling himself Roland) Blondel de Nesele and his Minstrall Underground in an effort to free King Richard from imprisonment during this he decided to go by Orlando all his extraordinary days.
In 1610 the sorcerer Prospero under the orders of previous Queen Gloriana I formed a group of extraordinary people that while originally consisting of himself his minions Caliban and Ariel, and Orlando would later include Captain Robert Owemuch, Amber , Don Quixote, and the other worldly traveler Christian.
This group operated until 1696 when Prospero left this planet for the Blazing World (Christian having left 13 years ago), a fourth dimensional place where anything can happen and is safer then Wonderland the group disbanded shortly after.
No such group existed until 1787 when King George resurrected the scheme which at first consisted of Lemuel Gulliver, the Reverend Christopher Syn, and Natty Bumpo (though some suspect Baron Münchausen may have been involved).
This group would later include Orlando, fanny Hill, and the resourceful Blakeneys would later join this group however it disbanded in 1799 with the death of Gulliver who was buried on Lilliput as per his last wishes.
In 1898 the next version of this group Lead by Wilhelmina Murry was formed, the members (other then Murry herself) were Allan Quartermain, Captain Nemo, Henry Jekyll/Edward Hyde, and Hawley Griffin this group was highly successful but disbanded within the year due to the events of the failed Martian invasion of the Earth.
Murry would later form a second group although this would prove less then stellar and consisted of Mina, Alan Quartermain Jr. (actually Quartermain who faked his death to hide his newfound immortality), Orlando, Thomas Carnaki, and A.J. Raffles.
This group lasted longer then her previous group and faced the French group known as Les Hommes Mystérieux though they lost members at a gradual rate thus in WWII only Mina, Alan, and Orlando remained.
During the war Mina had came to the conclusion that the socialist Party was intending to install a ruler immediately after the war who would establish a totalitarian government so when their employers sent her and Quatermain to America to get help they instead went into hiding.
Orlando hid similarly by having been transformed by means unknown into a marmalade cat.
Now as I have said before this world contains almost all the works of fiction that have ever existed but as of the sixties this world's fate remains unknown although we do know that it survived into 2008 when Britain is shown to be in an "irretractable" war with Quamar...and (In a post apocalyptic state) at 802,701 AD.
Another interesting feature about this Earth in that it is technologically advanced possibly due to such stories as "First Man on the Moon" and "the War in the Air" (the latter incidentally taking place in 1901).
Now while this Earth's fate is as of yet unknown our Earth has a considerable amount of knowledge about it due to the comic that it exists in on our world…The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
