You wake in a strange room.

Your clothes are foreign and the walls are covered in objects from a different world.

You don't know where or when you are, or if you're still dreaming.

There are footsteps in the hall.

Jumping up, you race out of the room and into the streets.

You have just entered the Twilight Histories. Welcome to the Twilight Histories.

Welcome to the Twilight Histories. You are about to pass into an alternate universe.

It may be strange, fascinating, or perhaps even terrifying.

To survive, you can't just be a tourist. You must become the people you explore.

This is your adventure. Conquering Japan was supposed to be easy. It was a mop-up campaign,

a simple wiping away of a few rump islands on the edge of the vast Mongol Empire.

But a great tsunami destroyed the Mongol fleet, and tens of thousands of Mongols drowned.

However, in the world we're sending you to, one ship survived the tsunami.

It was ejected out into the vast Pacific. With its masts and

rigging destroyed, it was left to the whims of the currents, and these took it straight across

the open ocean. The ship was finally wrecked on some distant, rainy coast. In our world, we would recognize it as the

delta of the Fraser River, where the free state of Vancouver sits today. But in the world we're

sending you to, it was home to an indigenous tribe. They spoke of a vast stepland deep in the heart of the continent, a land perfect for Mongols,

and well worth the perilous trek through rivers, mountains, and forests beyond the edge of

the earth. Please put on your costume now while I finish your orientation.

I'm Annie from Boston, Massachusetts.

And I'm Johanna from Vienna, Austria.
