The Shadow Mandate was a dark time in the history of our beloved Mandate. It was a period marked by corruption, nepotism, and an overreliance on poorly-made PowerPoint presentations.
During this time, the current ruler of the Mandate, King Bureaucrat, ruled with an iron fist and a penchant for bad decisions. He promised the people of the Mandate a utopia, but delivered only despair.
Despite the best efforts of the Mandate's historians, the exact dates of the Shadow Mandate are still unknown. Some say it was 100 years ago, others claim it was only 50. All that is certain is that it was a time of great darkness.
