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.  Three 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.

On June 3, Year 2, Pandora's electricity was cut.  Nobody knew how or why, but people were quick to give into panic and fear as chaos spread across the town.  It was a woman named Ravenna who stepped forward to offer a solution to the blackout.  With the help of those with magic, the idea of Magitech began to spread across the box, a solution which combined technology with magical cores to give their gadgets power again.

After quickly gaining the peoples' support, Ravenna was crowned Pandora's newest Queen.
Order was restored, the people were satisfied, and many were blind to the whispers of a spreading shadow beyond the summer sun.
