In a world beset by almost untraversable sea-storms, and where magic once ruled, disappeared, then suddenly returned again out of nowhere, the only clear pursuit is that of colonization, scientific truth, and the unravelling of the occult mysteries.
Project Pandora is set in a world which is slightly influenced by various types of steampunk, dieselpunk and teslapunk inspirations. Pandora is a dark, mysterious world where the light seemingly only shines on rare occasions; prompting many to turn to the comfort of the old Saintly Candle or the rising sciences and philosophies.
In the darkness, there are whispers of a returning shadow known only as the Black Serpent. Supernatural events are reported to have occured across the world; prompting the return of the phenomenon known as magic, and all its mystical effects and consequences. The many greater and civilized nations of the world continue their pursuits of colonial or territorial wars with each other, and the race to settle and conquer the still mostly unknown New World across the vast storm-seas is of seemingly adamant importance to monarchs and governments.
In the New World, the primitive tribes of the Caidhe have had to adapt to the newcomer colonists; either by engaging in trade, diplomacy, or warfare. The land itself is deadly and treacherous, with many creatures and plants seemingly existing only to cause gruesome deaths to the unwary. There is little comfort there for any would-be colonists coming in from the Old World, yet the promise of new beginnings, fame, or wealth lure even the most foolhardy to the greater continent of the world.
