In the heart of modern-day Mexico City once stood a floating city of stone and water—Tenochtitlan, the radiant capital of the Aztec Empire. It was a metropolis of shimmering canals, whitewashed temples, bustling markets, and thousands of engineers, warriors, artisans, and poets who believed their city was the axis of the universe. The Aztec Empire: Rise and Fall of the Fifth Sun is a sweeping narrative of that world—its creation, glory, and destruction. Drawing from archaeology, primary sources, and newly uncovered research, Julian Reyes-Martell reimagines the Mexica not as bloodthirsty...

Takuto and his empire confront their first true rival in the armies of the Demon Lord, which Takuto recognizes from the RPG Brave Questers. What new strategies will Mynoghra be forced to undertake to overcome the Demon Lord’s army that operates under entirely different game mechanics?

Takuto Ira succumbed to illness at a young age and ended up reincarnating in a world that resembles the fantasy turn-based strategy game Eternal Nations.

With Mynoghra’s beautiful hero unit, Sludge Witch Atou by his side, not even legendarily difficult race traits will stand in the way of restarting their civilization!

In 1532, the magnificent Inca empire was the last great civilization still isolated from the rest of humankind. The Conquest of the Incas is the definitive history of this civilization's overthrow, from the invasion by Pizarro's small gang of conquistadors and the Incas' valiant attempts to expel the invaders to the destruction of the Inca realm, the oppression of its people, and the modern discoveries of Machu Picchu and the lost city of Vilcabamba.

Mynoghra has put an end to the Demon Lord’s army of RPG monsters for good, but not without great sacrifice.

But his efforts are hindered by the appearance of new enemy forces from yet another game genre—tabletop role-playing games!

In just over a hundred years - from the death of Muhammad in 632 to the beginning of the Abbasid Caliphate in 750 - the followers of the Prophet swept across the whole of the Middle East, North Africa, and Spain. Their armies threatened states as far flung as the Franks in Western Europe and the Tang Empire in China. The conquered territory was larger than the Roman Empire at its greatest expansion, and it was claimed for the Arabs in roughly half the time.

Takuto suffered a crushing blow at the hands of the Saints and Slurping Witch Erakino when they marched into his territory, stole Sludge Witch Atou from him and proceeded to pierce his heart and engulf him in hell fire. That should've been the end for Mynoghra, but their Commander survived the night's events unscathed and is out for vengeance. He's headed to Saint Soalina's newly founded empire to get back Atou and go toe-to-toe with a TRPG's Game Master! It's time for the King of Ruin, prophesied as the Apocalypse-bringer, to bring the world to its knees!

After incorporating some ingenious strategies, Operation Decapitate the Divine Nation of Lenea ended in a resounding success for Mynoghra. Takuto succeeded in defeating the Player controlling the TRPG forces from behind the scenes and rescuing Sludge Atou from his clutches, but at a great cost. With Takuto left unconscious and Mynoghra without a proper Commander, Atou steels herself to summon Gleeful Spin Doctor Vittorio—the most notorious Hero unit in Mynoghra.

To do that, he’ll need to make contact with the outside world. With Atou and the Dark Elves at his side, there’s nothing this normal-teenager-turned-evil-god can’t do.

Para los incas, la muerte no existía; simplemente se llevaba a los muertos a otro plano de la vida. Así, las momias de sus emperadores eran tratadas como personas; se les daba de comer y beber e incluso se las visitaba ceremoniosamente. También poseían fincas en el campo, que generaban suficientes beneficios como para mantenerlas en el estilo al que estaban acostumbradas.

For centuries, explorers, treasure hunters, and dreamers chased the legend of El Dorado — a golden city hidden in the heart of South America. But the truth was never a city. It was a people. In El Dorado: The Real Story, historian and storyteller Elena Caro reveals the untold history of the Muisca civilization of Colombia — the creators of the ritual that sparked the world’s greatest treasure hunt. Far from a vanished myth, the Muisca were a sophisticated confederation of sun-worshippers, salt traders, and farmers who built a golden world of reciprocity and balance. When the Spanish ...

But the enslaved tribes turned the tables, weaponizing the invaders’ own addictions and stealing their technology.
