When an individual first enters The Twilight, their emotions will determine their alignment with either the Daywatch or the Nightwatch (and in some cases the Inquisition).

As an individual goes into lower levels of the Twilight, aspects of the 'normal world' slowly dissapear and loose color. Each lower level of the twilight requires more effort and energy to enter into. The Others can travel to different levels of the Twilight in direct proportion to their level of power.
