Welcome to Pandora's Box
Beyond the fabric of space and time, there exists a Pantheon of Gods, ruled by the Goddess Pandora, who claim to have created all that exists. Satisfied by her creations for only a fleeting moment, she and her Pantheon abandoned one world to play with another until she created something new -- a world within a box. Instead of creating new life to struggle within this empty realm, lifeforms were plucked from different worlds, different universes, and dropped mercilessly into the box without explanation. Some of the inhabitants searched relentlessly for a way out while others saw the world of Pandora as an escape from the old. Lives, however, were eventually formed, the single town growing as a community. Government was established, rulers rose and fell. Four years later, the box is a thriving community of all sorts of characters. The world, however, is an unstable one and there's no telling when the box might suddenly change the rules.
Following the fall of a monarch, Pandora Town’s government has undergone an overhaul at the dawn of its fourth year. The monarchy has been abolished, and a democratic council has been established, giving citizens a voice in how things are run in each of the five departments. Although anyone can campaign to become a department head and gain a seat of power on the council, the people will decide who receives this responsibility through annual elections.
Four young communities continue to grow outside of Pandora Town, fighting to survive outside of the original. Trade routes, economy, and leadership roles have finally been set in place, marking the beginning of advanced civilization.
