Realm of Twilight (Total War)

The planet called the Realm of Twilight is one of the main settings of Hyrule: Total War and its expansions, the other ones being the planet Hyrule, another planet in the cosmos, and Termina, a dark reflection of Hyrule created by Majora.

Prehistory
Long ago the Realm of Twilight was covered by liquid water and teeming with life such as the aquatic Dark Dragons. Over time, however, the oceans receded for unknown reasons, leading to the desertification of the planet. Much of the Realm of Twilight's native flora and fauna died off, leaving the opportunity for incursion by alien species such as the Parella and those from Hyrule.

Rise of Ganon
Following the battle at Hylia Marine in 0 AG (Hyrule time), which sees the final defeat of Bongo's Dark Interlopers and the Gerudo and Fairies who have come to seek the Triforce, the Hylian Princess Nylin Zelda I give the prisoners of war to the Gerudo Circle of Warlords. These Warlords then banish these prisoners into the Mirror of Twilight, a mysterious portal in the Arbiter's Grounds, which they thought was the entrance to a void of no return.

Unbeknownst to the Warlords, the Mirror actually lead to the Realm of Twilight. After their arrival the prisoners struggle to survive in the harsh wasteland, and many of them die shortly after their arrival. However those that survived form a new civilisation, and after thousands of years these criminals eventually evolve into the Twili.
