Give us a crash course in the history of your world

me, trying to make a world history up on the fly, whilst not contradicting stuff I made up on the fly 6 sessions ago

My favorite move there when someone points out thing that contradict is to say, "Yes. That's what you were told." Imply there's something mysterious to uncover about why those facts don't gel.

Alternatively: "I'm giving you the real history. That's not what your character knows to be true!"
