“ . . . All that was left in Pandora’s box was hope.”

During the 21st century, a global pandemic swept over the world. They dubbed it the “Pandora virus,” or PV for short, because of its devastating nature. The virus tore through the world’s population. It killed almost one-third of humanity in its first month alone. Countries everywhere grew panicked, believing it to be a work of biological terrorism. Nation stood against nation, and a worldwide war began. Much of earth was laid to waste within just a handful of months by the combined effects of nuclear war and the Pandora virus. Survivors immune to the virus found the world uninhabitable, and many of them perished due to radiation poisoning or famine.

There were other creatures who inhabited this planet along with human beings, though. They had just been in hiding for many centuries. Praeternaturals, they were called. Legendary beings and creatures believed to be nothing more than myth. They were also biologically immune to the Pandora virus. With the foresight of the oracle Euryale, groups of praeternaturals learned of what was to come and prepared for the preordained onslaught. They had built safe havens protected by magic in hidden areas across the world. Taking in as many humans and praeternaturals alike as they could before the war, these communities provided a stable living environment for the survival of all species.

One such safe haven is an ancient land once inhabited by elves, abandoned by them long ago, and renovated into a sanctuary. They call it Elysium. Located in the modern-day Republic of Macedonia near Lake Ohrid, it was once a part of Greece. Now, it is a part of the process to one day rebuild the world.

“ . . . All that was left in Pandora’s box was hope.”

Humanity believed itself to be alone, but in the 21st century it discovered otherwise. A global pandemic swept over the world and decimated the population. Due to its devastating nature, they dubbed it the “Pandora virus.” Biological terrorism was blamed, and nation stood against nation as a worldwide war began. The earth was laid to waste in just a handful of months by nuclear war and the Pandora virus. War revealed an ancient secret, though. Humans were not alone. Other creatures inhabited this planet along with them, hiding in the shadows for centuries. Praeternaturals, they were — supernatural beings believed to be nothing more than myth, but they were very real.

The upper-hand belonged to the praeternaturals. They possessed biological immunity to the Pandora virus and learned of what was to come through the oracle, Euryale. They built safe havens across the world, taking in as many humans and praeternaturals as possible before the war. One such safe haven is an ancient land once inhabited by life, but abandoned by it long ago, and renovated into a sanctuary. They call it Elysium. Located in the modern-day Republic of Macedonia near Lake Ohrid, it was once a part of Greece. Along with the rest of the havens, it provided a stable living environment for the survival of all species, and for months the peace has been kept.

All of that is about to change. Something dark has amassed upon the horizon, drawing ever closer to the haven of Elysium. Things were left behind in the wastelands beyond the havens that neither the war nor Pandora has managed to destroy. Even now, they cross the ocean. Eventually, they will reach Elysium and come knocking on the haven’s door — and the perfect world the haven has built will go crumbling to the ground.

Welcome to Elysium. We promise you’ll be safe.
