Another challenge of mine (muahahaha), so what if a particularly virulent and fatal strain of the Black Death evolved in the grasslands of Central Asia prior to its spread across Eurasia, maybe the genome of the bacteria was changed by a few base sequences or so. By the mid 13th century, the Black Death had killed 90% of its victims and then disappeared from history, almost as if God had wanted to eradicate most of humanity. Only isolated peoples, Sub-Saharan Africa, the Americas and Oceania were left largely intact.
Once bustling centres of trade, once drowned in gold, now drowned in the sickening stench of rotting human bodies. Wars ended in both sides being decimated and irreparably broken. Monarchies fell without most of their base, and societies and religions were lost to history. Yet, someone has to come in and pick up the pieces... Who though?
That's up to you.
