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.

Hi, I'm Jordan Harbor.

What you're about to hear is part three,

the finale of The Isle of the Lost by Kevin Valbenese.

If you haven't done so already, I'd recommend you go back and start with part one, so this makes more sense.

If you're not familiar with the Twilight History's format, in these stories you are adventurer, just like in a game book or role-playing campaign.

You will travel to different dimensions and experience, strange and exotic cultures that never existed in our timeline, all with you as the hero.

Before we start, I'd like to recommend you listen to historical blindness. Have a listen to this.

Mysteries, hoaxes, folklore, conspiracy, and pseudo-history, topics sometimes avoided by historians

who don't want to normalize nonsense or draw attention to the blind spots

in our knowledge of the past. But these are some of our most intriguing tales. The lost colony

of Roanoke, the man in the Iron Mask, the princes in the tower, the Battle of Los Angeles,

the Turin Shroud.

Stories like these, fraught with ambiguities and falsehoods and suggesting alternate views of history,

not only entertain, but also teach us to view the past and the present with a critical eye.

Join me, Nathaniel Lloyd, as I delve into these stories on my podcast,

Historical Blindness, and shine a light in the darker corners of the past.
