Only the Arquebus, as well as some larger than life historical models. Finally, drop Pennsylvania State Trooper Calvin Morrison into the mix. Then stand back and watch the fireworks as Lord Kalvan attempts to save the small Princedom of Hostigos from the corrupt and dissolute priesthood of Styphon's House.

The story opens, when Calvin Morrison is 'accidentally' picked up by a Paratime Police cross-time conveyer and dropped off on Aryan-Transpacific, Styphon House Subsector:

On Fourth Level Sector Aryan-Oriental, the Aryan migration of three thousand years ago, instead of moving west and south, as on most sectors, went east into China. However, on one offshoot, Aryan-Transpacific, some of the migrants built ships and sailed north and east along the Kuriles and the Aleutians and settled in North America, bringing with them horses and cattle and iron working skills, exterminating the Amerinds, warring with one another, splitting into diverse peoples and cultures.
